Editorial standards slipping, horiffic.
Not sure what's worse, getting it wrong, or getting it wrong after getting it right.
Conveniently glossing over that each mobile search is one of several attempts to search for the same thing while using a touch screen keyboard, the number is further inflated by frustrated page reloads because it's got stuck 99% of the way but isn't actually displaying anything, probably because the google analytics/ads hive has fallen over and like most websites these days it relies on that and won't finish loading the fX>!ing content if it can't load the ads.
On top of all that, I generally use mobile, if I'm using it for shopping rather than checking opening times or finding a phone number, for checking prices of things I'm looking at in a physical store, not for actually buying things and if I later go on to buy it through my computer only to be greeted by some ugly upscaled mobile site, I'm probably going elsewhere.
I'd rather they knew a bit of physics, chemistry, biology or even economics.
Google should just stop doing April Fool's.
The update to the Maps App for last year's Pokemon joke has ruined it for me, ever since my sat nav frequently crashes and sometimes leads me on wild goose chases.
I might give this a shot if it goes at a reasonable price, I spent my weekend trying to repair a failed a decade ago Deskstar by swapping the heads with a good drive (I now have two dead drives), clearly I need more practice so this could be another project drive for me.
But the listing doesn't say what's wrong with it, no symptoms like "BIOS gives error code 11" or "Drive makes ATAPI noise" so not sure if it's worth a punt.
Over priced pen, under priced beer.
I am disappoint.
It seems to me Jasper Hamill is twisting what the Met have said, they simply stated that viewing the video could be, in the strictest letter of the law, viewed as an offence and could be used as one piece in building a case against someone or to bolster an application for a warrant, at no point have they said than anyone and everyone watching the video will be branded a terrorist, singled out for cavity searches at airports and have a florists van parked outside 24/7.
Now it's not completely beyond the realms of possibility that one might be sent the video, unsolicited, on snapchat or similar, and fined for it, but that's not what the Met said.
Seems Jasper is getting all indignant about nothing.
Actually "start stop" driving does not effect the efficiency of electric cars in the same way it does for IC cars, the engine doesn't keep running while it's stationary. Ok, sure, you have to accelerate again, but how quickly and to what speed? I dare say shuffling along going 0-10-0-10-0-10 uses less energy than holding a constant 100 and while you can argue that force has to be applied to accelerate you have to remember that the F required to hold a speed is proportional to the square of the speed (for aerodynamic drag) and so even if you are accelerating up to 100, until you reach 100 that component of the force is lower than if you were constantly travelling at 100.
There's also the KERS factor, if you are slowing down you are recovering energy, not all of it of course, but some.
Aye but these guys are big time, they've clubbed together to buy a barn.
Begs the question, how many femtobarns are in nanoWales?
I'd like to take this opportunity to table a motion that Barns be added to the Official El Reg Units of Measurement.
Someone did a study, it was in MTZ a year or so ago, I was looking for it recently but couldn't find it.
Comparing the CO2 output of a modern diesel vs an electric car using typical current UK electricity mix, they were level, with the diesel obviously being more practical.
Now there is the matter of particulates and NOX, which diesels are rather bad for, but gas/coal stations probably produce *some* other pollutants (gas not so much I know, but still *some*).
This, iirc, didn't include manufacture and disposal, but I could be wrong on that.
The reason we're not all chasing electric cars because they are not the best/cheapest/most practical/going to happen soon enough.
Excusing my ignorance as idk how cryptomonies werks but, if the datas has been taken then deleted, rather than just deleted, do the attackers now have the dogecoins and does that mean that in restoring the backup the dogecoins will duplicate those dogecoins and essentially create monies?
I was under the vague impression that each cryptomoney was some sort of piece of data which was sort of sold and traded and moved about?
Glossy steering wheels? I think you'll find they're all a bit on the matte side, else they'd get slippery when wet.
I have to say the go-pro stick has even been used for "selfie" video to good affect, giving some interesting angles on snow-boarders and the like. The best bit is under all that snow-boarder apparel you can't see them duck face.
p.s here's a song about selfies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdemFfbS5H0 :)
mmm mashtags and alphabetti spaghetti would make a delicious if trashy and unhealthy meal. can't wait for these to land in Tesco's freezers.
Will they include some common #hashtags like #yolo, #swag, #suchwonder?
story tl;dr but based on the headline alone..
The other day I googled something and the top result was another results page from ask or something.
If I wanted that I'd go there not google. Because, before all this shit at least, google has the best results.
Make good product -> Get punished ??
I mean, I deliberately use Bing just to level the playing field a bit (and it's not that bad, really..) but sometimes the competition is struggling just because they suck.
I'm happy with the service, but not with the service.
Never had any connection issues except one time I forgot to pay my bill and it was restored 10 minutes later when at 7pm I called and paid.
But whenever I try to set up a DD the page that process it is broken and has been for months. Plus it's a pain to use because they have their own special combo boxes which don't work.
So after a while I am fed up of manually paying bills (the page for paying individual bills works fine, bar combo boxes) and I try to report this fault. I phone and after going through menu after menu after menu it hangs up on me. I think the fault report on the website didn't work either. Ended up going through facebook (their facebook page is covered in complaints) only to be sent to some secret error report form, which then didn't work, so I reported this on facebook only to be told to email and.. I can't remember if they even replied. I guess it's time to try the DD page again.
So basically, the service is fine but the customer service is hopeless. But I thought VM were consistently top ranked for customer service, which doesn't bode well for talk talk..
"These cats love the smell of feet," she said. "So if I took my shoes off around the cats they would all come and roll in them and steal the shoes."
But.. what does this say about the underwear?
Bravo! Have a pint.
Might I be so bold as to ask how long ago you had the surgery and whether there is any hint of your eyesight returning to it's former state?
considering the number of people who have set their phone to send everything to facetweet automatically and don't even know it I really don't think adding the risk of accidental photos is a good idea.
taking a piss and get something in your eye? now your wang is on facebook.. doh.
My first thought was that it was what was being used on bing too.
Not sure the format matters if it's the same technique to generate the frames, this is a matter of image processing.
I believe the one with deer had a ghost deer on it, so clearly the technique can produce artefacts.
Or.. you know... ghost deer.
Still a hard G.
Also pretty sure GIFs never went away thanks to certain imageboards and that sort of website and whether or not *real* vines are gifs, vines aren't necessarily gifs (unless gifs have audio??).
It's not like all selfies have to be jpgs..
I think I'd buy that too.
Bit embarrassed that I didn't know that about reverse gears though :s
I've never owned a car where you didn't have to wait though, something to do with the engine reaching idle, which can take some time (more than you'd expect from a normal run down) as the idle valve or etb will usually slow it down over the last few rpm to prevent it dropping too low or whatever (not my area :p), you can't pull forward then immediately slam into reverse, particularly if you've still got some forward momentum.
It is utterly baffling and infuriating when the trade do this, "the profession" generally prefer to do it right, get a root cause, make sure it doesn't happen again. I don't understand why car makers don't try to enforce a little honesty on their main stealers.
I read that as "bum him" :3
He could have been such an icon, martial arts hero, doing the tiger conservation thing, fighting off bears, riding around topless.
But he's a bigot and no one likes him.
I do think it's about time that any organisation with any shred of social responsibility stand up to this.
This means you IOC and F1 management .
Seems autocar have done this properly and bothered to point out that the range extender not only gains 150kg (though I think I've seen bigger figures elsewhere) but also gains 0.7s to 60. So if you want to (supposedly) beat an M3 to 50 you have to sacrifice range.
But no one anywhere has yet told me what the engine is (i.e. fuel type, aspiration, what cycle it runs etc.) some are saying it's a BMW bike engine but I don't buy that and the power output is something pitiful and I don't imagine that running off the RE engine all the time can maintain full pace and no one has made any mention of what happens when that happens. I imagine BMW are deliberately being cagey about this but someone should be asking the question of them and frankly reporting the answer or lack thereof. I'm actually perfectly ok with this type of limitation, it's how I would do it.
The weight of the RE is also rather large for the relatively small tyres isn't it? Although I think autocar said the rears were wider (on the RE at least).
Really needs deeper seats too, are the flat seats really somehow much lighter? iirc 1 series seats are quite bad too though.
oh please, that is standard and accepted practice.
aanyway, I reckon "desirable" really is the most important trait for electric cars now, I need to drive one of these to be sure of comfort and NVH but it sounds like it pretty much does what a regular car does now, the only outstanding points are:
>battery life, I'm not sure what study of real-world used EVs, HEVs and REEVs has been done or what lease deals exist.
>real world fuel economy is like when running in range-extender mode (as in quite literally how many miles per gallon you can get, considering the conversion efficiency).
Otherwise it replaces most hatch backs which will never need to tow or do anything else particularly stressful and it's faster than most people will ever use.
Excuse this first paragraph, this is just an aspie engineer being aspie..
"aluminium, carbon fibe and plastic" is hardly precise. Firstly, by carbon fibre, you mean CFRP and by plastic you mean a polymer the precise nature of which you do not divulge and I suspect that by aluminium you in fact mean an aluminium alloy. Furthermore you make no mention of the precise P within which the CFR is contained nor the nature of the CFs and their orientation nor do you mention the precise construction of the overall composite structure or the manner in which it is affixed to the other structures.</aspie>
An E92 M3 (as pictured) will do 0-60 in 3.9 seconds with M-DKG and ~4.1 without so I seriously doubt it's going to be slower to 50 than a car which takes 3.7 seconds to get to 37mph and 7.2 to 60, that would imply it does the 37-50 sprint in 0.4 seconds (assuming the slower manual box M3) and 50-60 in 3.1 seconds.
Yes, those numbers stack up don't they? Was my mum driving the M3?
I have nothing against the i3, I think it's an impressive car and it's commendable that BMW are pushing the boundaries like this AND I quite like the looks!
They only need to knock 95kg off the weight and 0.5 seconds of the 0-60, add 44mph to the top speed, give it wider tyres (say 205) and a proper driving position and ride height, bin the ABS and it'll be about as desirable as my current car (a 10 year old Clio :p).
I don't think I'll bother.
The only question is, when PSN goes paid, what happens to PS3 online games?
I just figure.. if you're going to kill it, why waste it?
The hide will no doubt make excellent leather, the horn can be used for whatever Chinese medicine (I'm sure the black rhino stuff is extra magical!), the meat can be used for meat and all the rest, Tesco's shepard's pie.
I always wonder if our regular food animals are also skinned for our animal based clothing or if the two industries operate separate supply streams. Trouble is, if you google this, the first 50 pages are emotive bullshit.
Human driven evolution of the species towards a more docile nature.
As I suppose we have done to some extent with dogs, cats and cattle.
So what will they do with the remains? Boots and gloves from the hide? What does Rhino taste like?
Does the permit include rights to the spoils or can they raise further funds through the sale of these ultra exclusive items?
Imagine that, a once in a lifetime meal of black rhino steak.
also wtf is a rally bar? do you mean a strut brace?
not sure how a stiff bonnet helps here though, unless it attaches rigidly both ends (a typical bonnet catch won't work here) plus stiff bonnets have crash safety implications maybe? I think they have to deform x amount for pedestrian safety, or at least there has to be a certain clearance to any properly hard bits.
I'd be worried that one damaged cell could overheat and then it cascades and CFRP is known to burn rather easily, as are most Ps I suppose. It could be that the important bits are (and they surely are) located under a nice protective layer. How thick and strong this is, who knows? But if the actual electrical cell was the surface layer that'd be.. well surely you'd then have charged body panels.. now I know you can pick your average car battery up by the terminals and not feel a thing but if you drop a spanner across them you get a bang. Could there may be safety implications, particularly at petrol stations? Or am I failing at electricity?
Intrigued as to what this wonder material is, if it somehow makes batteries which are lighter than the alternatives, i.e. better energy density, all they need to do is locate it in a sensible place.
Just as today we have some very common passwords, things like monkey, passw0rd and babygirl, if passfondles become the norm I'd wager that some common themes will emerge, hearts around a loved ones face, two circles with a tall interconnecting arc, you know the sort of thing.
well shit.. I'd better tell my friend Abdul he's had his name wrong all these years.
I for one welcome our new more logical television programme distribution.
Haven't got round to watching BB yet as I'm currently binging on BSG.
sorry, I keep forgetting when I post here.
Win 7 and FF 22.0
Click "withdraw"
Click "return to forum"
page keeps reloading.
same if you click the second "withdraw" (and by the way the withdraw confirmation screen is not very.. ergonomic (or a similar word to that))
green milk? are you girls?
and where's the Jacksons?
woops.. just realised when I exported my data to ascii it created multiple files (different sample rates), it's actually more like 450MB for 20 minutes, with 13 signals.
F1 think they're hi-tech :p
"they don't transfer all the data" what I mean't was how do they send what they do send!
At that rate you'd think they were using semaphore (is that what all the blokes with the flags are for??)
So how are they reducing it? Because if you reduce the time resolution (same as reducing the sample rate) you can miss a pressure spike entirely or you can get aliasing effects or.. stuff. Although 5-6MB per lap might well be the most you can reasonably use in real time. Although next year they're going to need to measure all manner of turbo temps and pressure and waste gate position and idk.. do they already monitor knock?
This is all stuff that can give them the info they need to tell a driver to short shift or switch to mode 7 or avoid low-rpm high load or whatever.
I just plucked a random log from some dyno work and over 20ish minutes it came to 120MB in ASCII (and more in a proprietary format (???)), that's just a few sensors (13 I think) and this is in road car work and logged over 10/100 I think ethernet. meanwhile F1 cars have, what did the article say? 300 sensors? So assuming a super short lap of only 1 minute (Monaco is >1:10) they'd gather 320MB over 20 minutes (this is with an extreme super fast lap, the 15MB figure probably belongs to more like a 1:40 lap, Monaco is 78 and the article mentions 50), that's with 300 sensors, less than 3 times the MBs with more than 20 times the sensors. Their logging rates can't be too fast!
So now I'm thinking, just how do they transfer the data from car to garage?
I mean we know they monitor temp and pressure for tyres (*4), oil, fuel and probably intake air, temp for brakes(*4) and pressure on the hydraulic system and KERS battery temp and probably state of charge and engine speed and probably gear and brake fluid pressure and probably temperature too so that's er.. some signals being beamed to the garage. So what protocol are they using and how much could they be transferring in "near real time"?
As for the "ah, you mean 3D printers" comment. F**k off :p
DM-Prong, Voodoo 3. In its day it was awe inspiring.
The rifle with spikes on it. The eightball loading animation.
The green glow of goo.
Then there was UnrealEd, then there was UnrealScript.
Epic! You stole my youth!
Ok, I get that, it "simulates", but what does it simulate?
It just sounds like a bunch of buzzwords.
Data mining! Simulation!
Erm.. ok?
I can't see how this is any different from Nurishment or any other fortified protein shake type thingie. I've lived off nothing but Nurishment and redbull for a couple of days.
But 3L of that gloop? Noo thankyou. If they can get the volume down to 1L a day or even into pill form then it's worth considering, but as it is, you may as well have normal meals.
I just came back here to see if anyone had said anything about the other thing when I saw this "Shaun" thing.
>hurr look at me XKCD joke xDxDxD
am I the only one who distinctly remembers this being reported in the past?
what budget?
oh the meagre budget that pales next to defence spending which they use to PUT ROBOTS ON ANOTHER PLANET? I have an idea, they could have custom made NASA staplers and other random pointless shit not necessary for being fucking awesome.
Although it could be that green screen and type-writer animation has been so engrained in the public conciousness as the look of spaaaace that they now perpetuate that because it simply looks right to them.

It's raining in my backyard. The sound of rain is very clear. I used Sony HandyCam to record rain.
Astral projection From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Astral projection (or astral travel) is an interpretation of any form of out-of-body experience (OBE) that assumes the existence of an "astral body" separate from the physical body and capable of travelling outside it. Astral projection or travel denotes the astral body leaving the physical body to travel in the astral plane. The idea of astral travel is rooted in common worldwide religious accounts of the afterlife in which the consciousness' or soul's journey or "ascent" is described in such terms as "an...out-of body experience, wherein the spiritual traveller leaves the physical body and travels in his/her subtle body (or dreambody or astral body) into 'higher' realms." It is therefore associated with near death experiences and is also frequently reported as spontaneously experienced in association with sleep and dreams, illness, surgical operations, drug experiences, sleep paralysis and forms of meditation. It is also sometimes attempted for its own sake, or may be believed to be necessary to, or the result of, some forms of spiritual practice. It may involve "travel to higher realms" called astral planes but is commonly used to describe any sensation of being "out of the body" in the everyday world, even seeing one's body from outside or above. It may be reported in the form of an apparitional experience, a supposed encounter with a doppelgänger, some living person also seen somewhere else at the same time. Through the 1960s and 70s, surveys reported percentages ranging from 8% to as many as 50% (in certain groups) of respondents who state they had such an experience. The subjective nature of the experience permits explanations that do not rely on the existence of an "astral" body and plane. There is little beyond anecdotal evidence to support the idea that people can actually "leave the body".
About 5 years old black bear just visited my place where I live. It is not his (her) first visit here. In the morning I noticed some ripped off garbage bags near the garbage bins. After I came from work about 5 PM I told my wife about what I saw in the morning. In a few minutes later a bear put his nose through my open gate. My wife was in the backyard and she managed to close the gate before the bear entered. She called me and we both were screaming at the bear: Go Away!, Go Away!. Reluctantly the bear left our place. I climbed the picknic table with my Sony HandyCam and started shooting this video. Few minutes later I warned one teenager that there is a bear on her way so she walked around. There was one problem. My wife had to go to the laundry room to pick up our clothes and the laundry is near the spot where the bear has chosen to eat his dinner. Luckily the bear left and my wife went to the laundry and returned in one piece. About 3 weeks ago the same bear climbed our neighbour fence but that time I didn't have my camera ready.
Mantra for meditation to increase the number of lucid dreams. Based on book "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" by Stephen LaBerge.
Canada Goose Rocky Point Park, Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada. The Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) is a wild goose belonging to the genus Branta, which is native to arctic and temperate regions of North America, having a black head and neck, white patches on the face, and a brownish-gray body. It is often called the Canadian Goose, but that name is not the ornithological standard, or the most common name.
This website (www.swipebids.com) is a total scam and it is charging people money without giving anything. Stay away from it.
Swipebids.com is a scam tell your friends !
Swipebids.com is a scam!
Do you want to buy electronics cheap? Don't go to swipebids.com. I will never go there again. Why? Because I lost my $150 there. If you want to bid on their site you have to buy a membership for $150 and you will get 300 Bids. For this Bids you you can bid and eventually if you are lucky you have to pay for the item you won plus shipping and handling. You better play on ebay where membership is free and you only pay when you win. (Bidding is free). Membership $150 is not refundable. Every time when you start live chatting with them they say that they are here to help you to save your money. What a lie! They are after your money. There is no fair play with them. When I told them that I don't want to bid anymore they gave me 500 bonus bids. When I lost my initial 300 Bids my 500 bonus bids disappeared and a pop-up window asked me to buy more bids if I want to continue bidding. No way! They will not get a penny from me! This website is a scam. Please go to www.google.com and search for "swipebids scam" for more details on how other people were deceived by them. Please pass this message to anybody who might be interested. I hope their sales will go down unless they change their policy, but I don't believe in this. They are too greedy.

No reviews are available for the season you selected.
Surrounded by breathless views (truly 360 degree views) and warm woodwork one could not complain. The food was excellent and the staff was very good. A gem in Tirol and a very underrated place. Highly recommend.
This truly nice hotel with its fabulous BIO-food, great wellness area with heated indoor and outdoor pool, 2 steam saunas, 2 hot air saunas, 1 herb sauna and 1 infrared cabin, therapeutic center and friendly service can be highly recommended.
We just came back from this hotel. Perfect place for vacation, food is not just healthy and organic - but super tasty , breathtaking view from the balcony, peaceful, quite, great spot to recharge your batteries. I never slept that well in my life. I am not giving much details because everything was great.
We stayed there with my g/f on my Birthday on the weekend of 2th of August 2011.
The place is located very high in Tirol approximately 500 meters away fro ski resort and ski lifts till almost 3000meters.
The hotel has very good spa and saunas.
Many different facial and body spa procedures.
Mover over it has very beautiful pool,...

PAWTUCKET — Despite acknowledgments that it's not an ideal situation, the Schools Superintendent intends to proceed with plans to move a majority of the incoming 6th graders to Goff or Slater junior high schools in September to deal with overcrowding.
PAWTUCKET – Elizabeth J. "Betty" Johnson has been gone three years now but the 85-year-old's love of local history is still paying dividends for the city she devoted so much energy toward.
Her carefully organized notes, clippings, photographs and Pawtucket memorabilia — previously kept in her longtime home at 30 Fruit Street — have been moved into the archives of the Pawtucket Public Library where they can be accessed by researchers wishing to delve into local lore.

These weeks we see some of the largest sailing events in the world taking place in Europe. A sixth boat was announced for Volvo Ocean Race, the 'war of words' continues about the Americas Cup protocol, and the scene is set for this summer's many top elite events.
470 M Matthias Schmid and Florian Reichstädter.
The world's largest fleet racing sailing events, Kiel Week takes place in this week: 5000 yachtsmen and women, 50 countries, 2000 yachts, dinghies and surfboards, almost 40 sailing events and more than 400 planned regatta starts on eleven race courses.
The start of the Kiel Week 2014 was just like what this event in the provincial capital is famous for - wet, cold, but also windy. The first part of Kiel Week also includes the Olympic Classes, and on the race courses of the outer fjord, the races are demanding the strength and fitness of the Olympic athletes. The Olympic Classes have their last races Wednesday, and from Thursday many of the other International Classes take over the race courses outside Schilksee Olympic Harbour. Follow the stories and results on Sail-World during the week.
Boats meet the treacherous Isle of Wight landmark, The Needles. Navigating around their sharp and jagged rocks will be no easy feat. JP Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race 2014.
In the past weekend one of the world's largest distance races for cruisers and races took place around Isle of Wight. 1.580 boats with 16.000 sailors were challenged with very light winds, and the J.P.Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race became a very long race with winds ranging from zero knots to painfully light testing the patience of crews. A high performance catamaran took line honours with a time of 08.51.37, the slowest elapsed time for a 'line honours boat' ever in Race's history. There were 715 finishers and 791 retirees, and it is always regrettable to have more retirees than finishers but a very positive response from the majority of competitors nonetheless. They will be back again next year for this great sailing event.
Five time winner of the America's Cup winner and Olympic Gold medalist, Russell Coutts
The 'war of words' between Oracle Team USA and New Zealand continues, and especially an article in a New Zealand newspaper made Russel Coutts react with a series of comments, in order to correct what he says is inaccurate interpretation of the Protocol. Russel is quite direct in his statement and expresses it this way:
'I have watched as the New Zealand media, and the New Zealand Herald in particular, have continued to publish inaccurate interpretations of how the next America's Cup will be organized. While no one is obliged to support the America's Cup, it seems to me that at the very least, journalists have an obligation to their readership to provide honest reporting. Regrettably, that has been in very short supply in your newspaper's coverage of the America's Cup of late.'
Read the articles at Sail-World.com. And isn't it something that happens every time a new protocol is published. And still, none of the European Challengers have spoken a word about their interpretations of the protocol.
Andrea Mura - Vendée Globe
Spain returns for the Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 with a boat spearheaded by two of the country's leading sailors, Iker Martínez and Xabi Fernández who will be aiming to help claim their nation's first victory. It's the eighth time out of the 12 editions of the race that Spain has been represented in the 41-year-old event.
The campaign, which is being mounted by Galician sailor-businessman Pedro Campos, is the sixth crew announced so far for the Race which begins in Alicante on October 4 with the in-port race there followed by the departure on leg one to Cape Town a week later.
2014 Extreme Sailing Series, Act 3 Qingdao
On Thursday this week Extreme Sailing Series global tour heads to Russian waters for the first time, the teams are preparing for what is expected to be a tactically challenging event. Russia's second largest city, Saint Petersburg, will be the host city for Act 4 and with 12 teams confirmed to compete on the stadium racecourse - that is only 300 metres wide at its narrowest point - the Race Director is predicting a tough competition.
The fleet will race on the River Neva, 26-29 June, in the heart of the city, against the backdrop of the iconic Saint Peter and Saint Paul cathedral. The full team line-ups will be announced on Thursday, 19 June, as 60 of the world's most elite sailors prepare for four days of close-fought Stadium Racing in front of the Winter Palace.

Former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar brings a fresh new look to the broadcasting both. He speaks his mind and he tells the truth. If anyone knows something about NFL receivers it is Kosar, he made a living throwing the football down field to them.
Kosar made a few comments about how horrible the Rams receivers were during the Browns 27-19 win in their first preseason game. Kosar made it known there was no respect for the Rams quarterback Kellen Clemens either.
When Clemens took to the field, Kosar said, oh no now I have to watch this guy for a quarter, terrible. The comments Bernie made about the Rams receivers back up quarterback and wide receivers coach, left a bad taste in the mouth of Jeff Fisher.
He has lost all respect for Kosar. You think Bernie really cares about what Fisher thinks? I seriously doubt it. Kosar is one of the greatest football minds that ever played in the NFL. Fisher should stop and listen to Bernie, maybe he could help him win.
Kosar knows football Jeff Fisher. No matter how much respect you lose for Bernie, you cannot take away the fact that he knows football. If a guy like Bernie Kosar says your receivers stink, you should listen.
If he tells you your receivers coach is bad, you should listen. Bernie Kosar knows football and he knows what he sees. It is refreshing to hear a guy like Kosar in the both telling the truth. It has been a long time coming.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 06, 2013
Apartments are some of the most common places that bed bugs invade. And to help both tenants and landlords fight those pests, there were a number of bed bug ordinances proposed in different cities and states. According to a report from cbslocal.com though, the one that was in Chicago got stuck in the City Council Committee. Meanwhile, to help the residents, My Cleaning Products offered samples of its non-pesticide bed bug spray Bed Bug Bully.
The report, which was posted on April 29, 2013, said that the proposed ordinance prompts both tenants and landlords to act immediately in case of infestation, My Cleaning Products shared. It added that Rose Kelly, a City Law Department Senior Counsel, detailed that the bill requires tenants to report the infestation within five days and landlords to start the bed bug treatment in the same amount of time.
However, the report said that Brian Bernardoni of the Chicago Association of Realtors complained that the proposed law puts all the burden to the landlords, related MCP. He said that the bill presents no penalty for tenants who don't report the infestation or cooperate, it further recounted.
Here's an excerpt from the post "Chicago Bed Bug Bill Stagnant" in City Council by My Cleaning Products.
"Bed bugs are some of the most infamous house pests. And it's easy to understand why they have such a bad reputation.
Being pests, those bloodsuckers could bring you a lot of problems. Sure, they don't transfer illnesses. Nonetheless, they bite an

Review: There are many great things to say about Bulan, but I have to say that their food is fabulous.

Arizona Coyotes
Forbes: Coyotes move up in NHL franchise value rankings
Forbes.com released their values for NHL franchises Monday, and the Phoenix Coyotes came in ranked 25th at $200 million.
This is a noticeable improvement for the Coyotes, as the team was ranked second-to-last in 2012 at just $134 million. The obvious change is the new ownership group that purchased the Coyotes in August, ending a four-year stretch during which they were owned by the league.
The new group, headed up by George Gosbee and Anthony LeBlanc, purchased the club for $170 million and signed a new leasing agreement with Jobing.com Arena that gave the Coyotes a more-permanent home in Glendale.
After several years of rumors that the team could relocate, the new ownership group brought comfort to Coyotes fans. However, there is an opt-out clause in the agreement, which would allow the organization to move if the team is losing money after five years.
On the ice, the Coyotes have gotten off to a strong start this season as they have 32 points through their first 23 games and feature a strong 9-1-2 record at home. Players and coaches have connected the team's newfound stability with their early success.

The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War IIby Iris Chang
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In December 1937, the Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking. Within weeks, more than 300,000 Chinese civilians were systematically raped, tortured, and murdered — a death toll exceeding that of the atomic blasts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. Using extensive interviews with survivors and newly discovered documents, Iris Chang has written what will surely be the definitive history of this horrifying episode.
The Rape of Nanking tells the story from three perspectives: of the Japanese soldiers who performed it, of the Chinese civilians who endured it, and of a group of Europeans and Americans who refused to abandon the city and were able to create a safety zone that saved almost 300,000 Chinese. Among these was the Nazi John Rabe, an unlikely hero whom Chang calls the Oskar Schindler of China and who worked tirelessly to protect the innocent and publicize the horror. More than just narrating the details of an orgy of violence, The Rape of Nanking analyzes the militaristic culture that fostered in the Japanese soldiers a total disregard for human life. Finally, it tells the appalling story: about how the advent of the Cold War led to a concerted effort on the part of the West and even the Chinese to stifle open discussion of this atrocity. Indeed, Chang characterizes this conspiracy of silence, that persists to this day, as a second rape.
Book News Annotation:
When the Japanese took over the Chinese city of Nanking in late 1937, they instituted a reign of terror and unspeakable violence, torturing and killing 300,000 Chinese civilians and soldiers in the span of mere weeks, and raping untold numbers of women and forcing them into military prostitution. A handful of Westerners in the city established The Nanking Safety Zone, which included a hospital for victims. Based on primary documents and interviews with survivors, this account integrates the perspectives of the Japanese, the Chinese, and Westerners. Author Chang also discusses the extended silence on the episode, in both China and the West, during the Cold War. The book includes historical b&w photos. This paperback reprint of the 1997 edition contains a new epilogue by the author's widower, which clears up some of the myths and misunderstandings about the author's life, career, mental illness, and suicide. The book was a New York Times bestseller and has been translated into 15 languages. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

How much do donors get? The amounts varied greatly throughout Europe - from zero in France to 2000 euro in Belgium, with most countries noting sums between 500 and 1000 euro.
These sums were recalculated as purchasing power in individual countries - for example, multiplied by four in Ukraine or two in Russia to assess their real value. "In these countries egg donation may be very attractive to unemployed or poor women," said Professor Pennings.
For its final analysis, the study divided the motives for donation into five groups: pure altruism (helping infertile people, a family member or a friend), altruism and financial in combination, purely financial, altruism and for one's own treatment (as in egg sharing), and purely for one's own treatment. For all donors, results showed that:
In addition, high levels of pure altruism were found in Belgium (86%), Finland (89%) and France (100%), and high levels of purely financial motivation in Greece (39%), Russia (47%) and Ukraine (28%). Both Poland and UK had high proportions of egg sharers. Commenting on the results, Professor

Cameron training again
Earlier in the year, Cameron informed her fans that she was going to be taking some time away from professional wrestling. It looks like that break is going to be a whole lot shorter than we expected. WWE has sent her down to the performance center to work on her in ring skills. Some backstage feel that she was elevated to the main roster well before she received enough training. The longtime diva confirmed her arrival through social media.

Lana training to wrestle
When word got out that Lana was injured while training before a live event, the internet wrestling community was surprised to hear that she was doing that. The blonde bombshell revealed to people that she trains frequently at the performance center when not on the road and on television. Sources without WWE, however, are saying that they have not seen her at the facility for quite some time now.

Foley praises Eva Marie
When the internet wrestling community formulates an opinion, it often times takes years to change their mind. For the longest time, everyone criticized Eva Marie for not being a good in ring performer. She went out and tried to fix that by getting additional training outside of WWE. Mick Foley has decided to step up and defend Eva by routinely pointing out the improvements that she has made. He wants her to get a fair chance.

Baroni and Sonnen wrestling
In what might prove to be a brilliant marketing move, GFW appears to be setting up a match between Phil Baroni and Chael Sonnen, both of whom achieved stardom in UFC. A match like this would easily generate interest from the mainstream media, especially all the major sports outlet. Baroni has been training at a wrestling school owned by D-Lo Brown.

Mick Foley defends CM Punk
For someone that had been in the professional wrestling industry for so many years, CM Punk has been rather quiet in his quest to become a star in UFC. Mick Foley thinks that is fine because the former world heavyweight champion is focused on training at the moment. Foley feels that Punk will start being a promoter when he gets closer to his debut match.
July 10, 2015
Eva Marie in NXT
As another sign that she is truly interested in improving as a performer, Eva Marie made an appearance in NXT and stated that she wanted the championship. The belief is that she will spend a couple of months down in the developmental program to gain further training. Eva recently received quite a bit of praise from WWE and the internet wrestling community because she spent time training with Brian Kendrick on her own.

Curt Hawkins on Tough Enough
During a recent interview, Curt Hawkins shared his opinions on Tough Enough, which is making a return this year. He stated that while it was a good television show, there really is no payoff in the end. Hawkins, who is now a trainer at a wrestling school that he owns and operates, stated that it is unfair for WWE to put these untrained performers in front of national television and expect them to be prepared after just three months of training.

Stephanie McMahon daughter training
During her live podcast interview with Chris Jericho this week, Stephanie McMahon revealed something rather interesting. She stated that her oldest daughter has done some wrestling training with Natalya. Stephanie mentioned that her daughter is very much interested in working in WWE some day, which is something that fans have assumed since the very first moment that we were made aware of the fact that she was having a child.

AJ Lee having baby
For whatever reasons, the internet wrestling community has long speculated that AJ Lee was pregnant. The speculation heated up even more once she shocked the world by retiring from WWE earlier this month. CM Punk was asked about that rumor during a convention this weekend, and he flat out denied that they were going to be having a baby. His focus right now is on training for his first UFC fight, so starting a family has to wait.

Hamilton, ON (March 19, 2009) - McMaster University researchers are about to launch Canada's first tuberculosis (TB) vaccine clinical trial with a vaccine totally designed, manufactured and tested within McMaster.
"The exciting thing for McMaster is that this is translational research that has gone from the basic science where the vector has been designed here at McMaster, then manufactured here, with all the pre-clinical studies done at McMaster," said Dr. Fiona Smaill, a professor of medicine and chair of the Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine.
Development of the vaccine for the landmark trial was led by Zhou Xing, a professor in the Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine. The vaccine was manufactured in the Robert E. Fitzhenry Vector Laboratory of the Institute of Molecular Medicine and Health on campus, Canada's first university laboratory certified to provide vectors (delivery agents) for use in clinical trials in humans. Most of the pre-clinical testing of the vaccine was undertaken at McMaster.
The phase 1 clinical trial, which has the approval of Health Canada, will begin to recruit 48 healthy volunteers between 18 and 55 years of age in mid-April. Over 12 18 months researchers will evaluate the safety of the new vaccine (currently called AdAg85A vaccine) and assess blood samples from vaccinated healthy human volunteers to determine if the vaccine is generating a desired immune response. The trial will be conducted by a team of infectious disease physicians, vaccine manufacturing specialists and immunologists at McMaster.
The announcement of the new TB vaccine trial coincides with World TB Day on Tuesday, March 24, when health authorities and researchers around the world will be raising awareness about the need for new TB vaccines.
Today, TB ranks second only to HIV among infectious killers worldwide, claiming nearly two million lives annually. The disease is evolving faster than thera

Helsinki, Finland just got a little more awesome this summer as ASUS announces that it's Republic of Gamers Tournament will be returning with a Starcraft 2 tournament. The tournament will be taking place over the course of three days and will run in a manner similar to last year – there will be two group stages, and the playoffs after will be a single elimination bracket. Thirty-two players will compete for the $25,000 prize pool, which will consist of a number of invitees and players who have made their way up through qualifiers.
As is expected, there is a free official english stream presented in HD with Thomas "Khaldor" Killian of Germany and Greg "IdrA" Fields, who most recently guest casted SHOUTcraft America. The event is also open to community streams for other languages.
The venue for the event is the same, although it has appeared to come down in size. The prize pool is $5,000 smaller and so far, there has only been one pair of casters announced. Last year saw two pairs of casters commentate, in addition to having four hosts. With smaller prizes to the competitors winning first through fourth places, will it draw top Korean players like it did last year, or will it be European players that come for a shot at the money?

The StarCraft II eSports scene is as vibrant as ever thanks to the recent release of StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm and the launch of the revised World Championship Series. 2013 has been a big year for StarCraft–which just celebrated its 15th anniversary–and it's about to get even better. We're happy to announce the comeback of ASUS ROG to the StarCraft II arena this summer, as it returns to Helsinki with the ASUS ROG Summer 2013 StarCraft II Tournament!
The event will take place August 1-3 at ASSEMBLY, with a concept similar to last year's ASUS ROG Summer 2012. The tournament will run for three days, with two group stages and single elimination playoffs. The roster will consist of 32 players, including those who have qualified and those who have been invited, with the top eight earning a share of the $25,000 USD prize pool. The finals will be played on the main stage where the very first ASUS ROG Champion, DIMAGA, was crowned. A free HD stream with professional commentary will also be provided.
Quick Facts about ASUS ROG Summer 2013
- Time: Thu 1 August – Sat 3 August 2013
- Place: Hartwall Arena, Helsinki, Finland
- Players: 32
- Prize pool: $25 000 USD
- Format: 2 group stages & single elimination playoffs
- Streams: Free HD main stream with Khaldor & IdrA + community streams
- Participation: Invites & online qualifiers
Streams & Casters
The event will feature one free official stream with HD quality. English commentary will be provided by the veteran caster Thomas "Khaldor" Kilian and Greg "IdrA" Fields, who recently made his debut as a caster in the SHOUTcraft America tournament. On top of the official stream, the event is open to community streams so that as much action as possible is broadcasted.
Prize distribution
- 1st: $10 000
- 2nd: $5 000
- 3rd-4th: $3 000
- 5th-8th: $1 000
Tournament format
The tournament format is the same as last year in ASUS ROG Summer 2012: two dual tournament group stages and single elimination playoffs. The first group stage (Ro32) is played on the first day, the second group stage (Ro16) takes place on the second day and the playoffs (Ro8 onwards) are played on the third and final day of the event. All matches are best-of-five including the final. The 3rd place match is not played.
The ASUS ROG Summer 2012 tournament was among of the first outside of Korea to adopt the dual tournament format which had been made familiar to the StarCraft II audience by the GOMTV Global StarCraft II League. The feedback from the players about the new format was purely positive and especially the best-of-5 groups were praised being more fair than the more common best-of-3 format. Thus, it is no wonder that we are seeing this format again at ASUS ROG Summer 2013.
There are two ways to gain one of the 32 spots in the tournament, by a direct invite or by an online qualification tournament. In order to receive an invite, players must first request an invite by filling out an application form. Details about the online qualifications will be released later. However, everyone is encouraged to request an invite first, and participate in the qualifiers second if need be.
Republic of Gamers is a gaming sub brand of ASUS that is comprised of cutting edge hardware tailored for serious gamers. The product branches include; Motherboards, Graphics Cards, LCD Monitors, Gaming Peripherals, Desktops and Notebooks. This ASUS ROG Tournament will be solely powered by ASUS and ROG hardware.

In Malaysia, teeming cities and tropical rainforests collide to provide a veritable wonderland for travellers. Between the street food stalls of Penang and the hum of Kuala Lumpur to the otherwordly Borneo, home to Kinabalu National Park, the fascinating Gomantong Caves and the dreamy Manukan Island (oh, and Mount Kinabalu), you'll never be stuck for something to eat, do or look at.
But with so much to take in, it can be tricky to know where to start. So here's Peregrine's pick of things to do in Malaysia and Borneo.

Where do candidates stand on monument?
Secretary of Interior Sally Jewell has come and gone and none of us know what the president will do.
Representative Steve Pearce has introduced his legislation to create a national monument to protect the Organ Mountains proper, while Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich have introduced legislation to make 22 percent of our county either wilderness or a national monument. Pearce's legislation has language to give law enforcement access, to allow for flood control projects and to protect ranchers, but unfortunately the senators' legislation doesn't.
We know where everyone stands on this except those running against Pearce this time around. What is their position on national monument legislation and the president's authority to designate these lands with the stroke of a pen?
Some numbers on deficit under President Obama
Writers and callers to the Sun-News complain about President Obama's ever increasing federal deficit; not true.
The U.S. fiscal year starts on Oct. 1 of the previous year and ends on Sept. 30 of the year for which it is numbered. The year 2009 may have been the first calendar year Obama was in office, but the fiscal year 2009 federal budget was the responsibility of the Bush administration.
Fiscal Year President Deficit
2009 Bush $1,413B
2010 Obama $1,294B
2011 Obama $1,300B
2012 Obama $1,087B
2013 Obama $680B
2014 Obama $744B
The deficit in FY 2009 under President Bush was 10 percent of the U.S. gross domestic Product (GDP), while the FY 2014 deficit is less than 5 percent of GDP.
My grandson makes an analogy between dieting and deficit reduction. The quickest way to lose weight is to stop eating, but if a person stopped eating, he or she would die. The quickest way to reduce the deficit to zero is to stop spending, but if a country instantly stopped spending, it would die economically.
I am not patting Obama on the back for multibillion dollar deficits. I just want people who complain to use accurate facts and numbers. The deficit is going down, most likely due to some budget cuts and to increased tax revenue as the economy improves. However, we still have an overwhelming total debt of about $17 trillion. Since the total annual income of the federal government is between $2 and $3 trillion, I do not believe we will ever be able to pay off the debt, and I fear what will happen if the countries to whom we owe trillions ever try to collect by cashing in their U.S. bonds.
Creationism, evolution a philosophical debate
Mr. Hayes' column in the Sun-News is another volley in an endless, futile war. ("If creationism is science, God is a trickster," Feb. 22)
The scientific method of inquiry requires an observation of an event, a deduction as to what it means and confirmation by others performing a specific test to confirm the event and deduction. Galileo observed that light travels at a specific speed. He devised a test to prove his observation and deduction. Others around the world have performed the test innumerable times and confirmed Galileo's accuracy.
As to whether the universe was created or just happened, I am unaware of any observation or test that can be performed that will cause a universe to come into existence by either random accident or action by an infinite deity. So both are philosophical positions, not scientific. While quite a few observations of horizontal evolution have been confirmed, I'm unaware of any similar test or confirmations of either a species being "spoken" into existence or evolved from another species. Once again, it appears to be philosophical.
What has happened is we've wasted decades on an endless, unscientific debate. It has created unnecessary conflict that has diverted us from using science and the Bible properly. Science has discovered much about our universe that could benefit our planet and all life. It frequently has not been used beneficially because we've not used our Bibles properly. The main theme of the Bible is that God expects us to do justly, love mercy and walk in humility; the proof of Christian redemption is a person who does so willingly. Instead, we see a ridiculous display of injustice, ruthlessness and arrogance misusing science to our harm, frequently misquoting the Bible to endorse the misuse.
Seems to me we've missed the point of science and the Bible, and our society is disintegrating as a result.
