In his 1982 film, E.T.–The Extra-Terrestrial, Steven Spielberg documented the short period when an alien named ET was stranded in a suburban region of North America.1 The film portrays the special relationship between ET and an alienated young schoolboy, Elliott. Previous work has looked at the cinematic importance of the film, but there has hitherto been no serious medical account of ET, despite the depiction of various pathophysiological states and detailed footage of ET's medical care.
Based on an analysis of available footage, and disregarding the film's emotional distractions,2 we report the medical case of ET. We describe his anatomy and pathophysiology, examine his medical care, and shed light on his glowing digits and luminous heart.
Case presentation
ET is an alien botanist and explorer who became unwell after being abandoned during an expedition to a forest in North America. Nothing is known of ET's medical history, but his selection for interplanetary exploration suggests he was previously fit and well.
ET is a bilaterian tetrapod, sharing many of the physical characteristics of primates. Given that ET's species evolved on a remote planet, the similarities are a striking example of convergent evolution.3 ET's age is unclear. He is presumed to be male, although his external genitalia have never been observed. He weighs 35 lb (15.75 kg) and is about 4ft 6 in (1.35 m) tall, a measurement that varies because of his extensible cervical spine. Despite having the mass of a 4 year old boy,4 ET has a body habitus associated with increased cardiovascular risk.5
ET's upper limbs are similar to the vertebrate pentadactyl limb, although he has only three fingers …

Rotary Park Lake Havasu
Rotary Park is a gem of a park in Lake Havasu with beautiful grass, play grounds, beaches and much more.
If you visiting Lake Havasu or just moving to town Rotary Park is definitely worth a visit. HavasuCityGuide.com had a chance this last weekend to go to Rotary Park and get some great video, pictures and panoramas of Lake Havasu's best park. Located in the heart of Lake Havasu and over 40 acres of space to roam Rotary Park is by far the biggest in Mohave County. If your looking for great way to spend an afternoon Rotary Park has plenty to do. BBQ's and picnic tables right on the sandy beach looking over beautiful Thompson Bay in Lake Havasu. There is no better place on the lake to take advantage of the beautiful scenery and the lake's wild life that is every where the eye can see. Perfect if you want to relax, play some volley ball or go for a swim in Lake Havasu's warm waters.
Rotary park is perfect for family and provides fun stuff for kids to do.
If your a family with kids then you will not want to pass up the three playgrounds Rotary Park has to offer. One that is for bigger kids ages 5 to 12 and two other that for children under 5 years old. All parks are very safe and have either rubber or wood chips on the ground so falling is no big deal. For the teenagers there is a skate park and bmx bikers are also welcome. There is also and RC track that is fun for the kid and adults as well.
If you want the best walk or jog in Lake Havasu be sure to start at the end of the South of Rotary Park down by the skate park and walk all the way through the world famous Bridgewater channel to the beautiful London Bridge. When you get to the London Bridge be sure to check out the charming shops of the English Village.
Below are some great pictures, panoramas, video and a photosynth to give you a good idea on what the park and surrounding areas look like before you arrive.

Nov 19, 2012It is an unapologetically gorgeous piece of work and one that is better appreciated without considering the confines of its genre or how the chillwave brand has become passé in most circles.
Nov 8, 2012The Inner Mansions is much more interesting than your typical bedroom pop album.
Nov 7, 2012It's not uncommon for artists to lose a little of their music's heart when they upgrade their sonics, but The Inner Mansions is equally emotional and polished, and some of Teen Daze's finest work.
Nov 8, 2012The Inner Mansions succeeds when Jamison forgoes the idea of connection and works on a higher plane of thought and structure.
Nov 7, 2012It's another sound defense of the gradually fading chillwave movement, but as far as offering anything new to it, Mansions mostly treads the beaten path.
Nov 7, 2012A whole album of this sort of thing, however, feels like sprinkling white sugar on a supermarket layer cake--it's excessively appealing to only one sense and though it's quite filling it doesn't manage to be nourishing.
Nov 7, 2012Watered down and indistinct, The Inner Mansions falls into the same trap as Toro y Moi's Underneath the Pine and many other chillwave releases: Namely, that it's essentially a too-familiar collage of Holga-kissed sentimentality, running through its nostalgic musical cues like a mindless carousel slide projector.

Hey guess who's gettin bread back in 96?
Remember all them nights I wasn't havin sh_t

Ain't smoking what I'm smoking, n_gga f_ck you smoking on?
And all the whips foreign they got green cards
Done whipped up so much white, b_tch I dream hard
Its hard to go to sleep with them birdies in the attic
Why you keep looking out the window, its just a bad habit
Now I got so many carrrots, call me silly rabbit
Third phone this week, I keep hearing static
Message to the police on the other line
Last thing you gon do is catch me with this 9

Homeboy caught a murder charge, been in the feds since 1999
From nicks to bricks, droppin key to a key
On the bus stop with them dimes
Started off with the dro
Then I moved to the blow
Living life will blow my mind?

SALT LAKE CITY — The sport of diving has done a lot for Nate Makarewicz.
It has provided the West High senior multiple opportunities to compete on the national stage of USA Diving.
It has helped pave the way for him to attend Princeton University next fall, where he will continue to dive as well as study biology.
And it has put him in a position to attempt something only a handful of other Utah divers have ever done, which is to win four straight Utah high school state championships.
It is almost funny to think that, in the beginning, Makarewicz did not even like diving very much.
"It was a little bit tough getting used to landing on my head and doing flips into the water," he said of his first experiences with the sport. "It was a little bit scary. I ended up quitting for a year and a half."
Makarewicz started out as a gymnast, but when his gym closed, he and his parents found what Makarewicz described as "the next best thing."
He began to dive around age 11, took his year-and-a-half-long break, and then, just before beginning the eighth grade, tuned into the 2008 Summer Olympics. What he saw inspired him to give diving another try.
"There was one British team member named Tom Daley," Makarewicz said. "(He) was about my age and he was competing in the Olympics. I thought that was really cool, and I wanted to try it."
Since then, diving has filled Makarewicz's life.
In the summer, he competes for USA Diving, which consists of 1-meter and 3-meter competition as well as a series of qualification meets at the local, regional and national levels. Makarewicz has qualified for nationals in each of the last two years.
In the winter, he represents West High during the high school diving season. In Utah, diving consists of only the 1-meter competition and is considered a non-scoring swim event. The state meet takes place the same weekend as the rest of the high school state swim meets. This year the championship meet is Feb. 7 at BYU.
Makarewicz has won each of the last three state titles and, with a firm hold at the top of the diving rankings, has positioned himself as the favorite to make it four in a row.
"Initially, it was my coaches more than me who thought that I might be able to win it freshman year," he said. "I worked really hard freshman year and I was really happy that I did my best and won. Since then, I've just been getting better and doing better each year."
The rest of Makarewicz's time, it seems, is spent training, running or studying. He has diving practice four evenings a week with coaches Monica French and Gene McIntyre; he has been a part of the West High varsity cross country team all four years; and he is graduating high school with an International Baccalaureate diploma.
"He is very good academically. He is very high on diving talent," McIntyre said. "He is a very focused young man."
That focus has led to big plans for the Princeton University-bound Makarewicz.
"I plan on studying Biology, either research or pre-med, for the next four years," he said, noting that he recently wrote a research paper on melanoma and might consider a career in cancer research.
In the meantime, however, he will have plenty of time spend on another favorite subject — visual arts — and on a new diving challenge.
Comment on this story"I will have the opportunity to do platform diving," he said, referring the diving program at Princeton. "Their pool is equipped with a full set of platforms as well as 1-meters and 3-meters. I think it will be fun to try that and compete in it for the first time next year."
Before making the move, Makarewicz has a little unfinished business to take care of at home.
"He has a chance to be a four-time state champion. That doesn't happen very frequently. There are maybe one or two others," McIntyre said. "He is doing some of the most difficult dives you will see."

5 out of 5 stars Rhinoplasty
Outstandingly Gifted Professionalism Paired with Heartfelt Support! - Fayetteville, NC
Dr. Dickerson is by far one of THE BEST doctors out there in his field. He has mastered the art of making each patient feel like part of his family and ensuring they receive the best care possible. He takes the time to put you at ease and then surgically performs nothing short of miracles with his mastery of his craft. I am absolutely baffled by the fact he was able to not only restore full function but artistically produced a near symmetrical face. My only regret is that I waited more than two decades to receive Dr. Dickerson's gift.
5 out of 5 stars Eyelid Surgery
Awesome Eyes - Fayetteville, NC
I rated Dr. Dickerson and staff five stars because I was very please with the service I received. Not only did I love the results of the surgery, I felt "very pampered". Great job Dr. D and staff.
5 out of 5 stars Radiesse
Professional, Execellent Patient CARE! - Fayetteville, NC
There are many providers that are qualified to deliver treatment. When you experience the genuine care that is rendered by Dr. Dickerson's entire staff, you will appreciate the difference between patient treatment and patient CARE. If you are you are unsure about addressing aesthetic concern and who you can trust, Dr. Dickerson will take time to consult with you. He has extensive experience with excellent results that will provide the confidence you need.
5 out of 5 stars Weight Loss
I Am Thrilled with the HCG Results - Fayetteville, NC
Everything I Expected. Dr. D Prepares You For Everything You Need to Get You Through. Dr. Dickerson and his staff deserve higher that an 5 star rating. They are courteous,timely and very caring - while still being professional. I have never waited more that 5 minutes for my appt. Dr. D treats you as if you were his one and only patient, answers every question thoroughly and understandably. They are excellent.
5 out of 5 stars Eye Bags Treatment
Love Dr D & Everyone at Cape Fear Aesthetics - Fayetteville, NC
Dr D and everyone at Cape Fear Aesthetics is great. Dr D always takes time to address all your questions and concerns. His staff is also always helpful and there to make you feel special and like part of the family. I was referred to CFA by a friend and would highly recommend CFA for surgery and/or spa treatments.
5 out of 5 stars Laser Surgery
Removal of Surface Veins from the Nose - Fayetteville, NC
I rated Dr Dickerson as 5 stars for the simple reason he is one of the most caring and concerned doctor I have ever received treatment from. He is unparalelled when it comes to listening to what I was trying to explain to him. At no time did he ever rush me out of the office or indicate in any way that he didn't have the time to answer my questions. He fully explained my treatment to me every step of the way. He also took he time to explain why it was necessary to proceed in this manner as well as possible outcomes at each step.
5 out of 5 stars Juvederm
Love Dr. Dickerson and His Staff...the Best - Fayetteville, NC
I moved here from St. Louis. Was referred to Dr. Dickerson by a fellow nurse. I have been so much happier with him than my previous Doc. in Missouri. He always makes the best reccomendations for me and what will make me look the best. I am always guessed 10-15 years younger than I am thanks to his work! I have referred everyone I know....He is the best in Fayetteville...and I trust him completely!
5 out of 5 stars Botox
Passion and Concerned - Fayetteville, NC
Passion and concern are the words to describe Dr. Dickerson. I was seen at Cape Fear Aesthetics and brought in my daughter with me whom is 13 years old, not only did Dr. Dickerson acknowledge her but spoke to her with kindness and gentleness. The office of Cape Fear aesthetics is a warm friendly environment. Dr. Dickerson provided safe and excellent services. He is committed to his patients and I trust him 100 percent. I travel from South Carolina and it is worth every mile. It is true not only does he make you beautiful on the outside but the inside too! Thank you Dr. Dickerson and staff. Michelle and Hannah
5 out of 5 stars Botox
Proffesionalism and Care of Dr. D and His Staff - Fayetteville, NC
5 out of 5 stars Weight Loss
HCG Diet - Fayetteville, NC
Dr. Dickerson makes me feel beautiful each time he enters my presence. He's always upbeat and positive; and interested in how I'm doing and how my family is doing. He's very informative about his profession and explains any issues to my understanding. I wish all doctors had his bedside manners. He is one to emulate. Keep up the great work you're doing!

Max Payne 3 Review
by dsluckay
Basic Information:
Developer: Rockstar Vancouver
Publisher: Rockstar Games
North American Release Date: May 15th, 2012
European Release Date: May 18th, 2012
Trophies: Yes, 1 | 3 | 5 | 38
Trophy Guide: Max Payne 3 Trophy Guide By Marccap
Max Payne has left the NYPD and is now located in Brazil where he is working as private security. See how Max deals with being an ex-cop with nothing to lose in the next installment of the Max Payne series.
Max Payne is mostly recognized for it's bullet time sequences. And by god is it pulled off extremely well. Upon being shot at, you can initiate a bullet time sequence where everything is in slow-motion, giving you the opportunity to survey the area and pick off certain enemies (or just have fun shooting guys in slow-motion like a normal person). In addition to just initiating this, you can also "shootdodge"; dive in slow-motion while shooting the baddies and feeling like a bad ass. The most gratifying feeling is doing a shootdodge and nailing 4+ enemies in the head.
The bullet time sequences are also initiated in certain parts of the game automatically, giving a more cinematic feel to the "shoot all enemies and advance" game that it is. Cars bursting through walls in slow-motion, and grenades flying through the air that you need to shoot before it hits you. This is the definite high-point that Max Payne has, a great feature that the game (and series) was built around.
If you don't feel like the ultimate badass doing this, something is wrong with you.
You have a health bar in Max Payne 3. The only way to gain health is to collect painkillers found throughout each level (naturally they relieve the pain). This gives it a grasp on reality in between slow-motion shootouts with 10+ enemies. If you do happen to lose your health though and you have at least one bottle of painkillers left you enter a "last stand" mode. This gives you a chance to kill your attacker in slow-motion and if successful, you automatically take the painkillers and are ready to get back in the action. This feature gets a little frustrating though when you are shot by someone and then you can't see them when in the last stand mode (if you are in cover, a wall or two may be in between yourself and the guy).
Taking cover is also one of the main features in Max Payne 3. While I myself am not a complete fan of cover-based shooters, at least Max Payne 3 doesn't center entirely around cover (it's second to bullet time). There was a problem I had though where I got shot and killed when behind cover, through a tiny space between connecting walls. I know there's a chance you can get shot between a space, but I went from 1/3 of health to dead in a matter of two seconds (granted I was playing on hard).
Max Payne is now a drunken, miserable, depressed and depressing ex-cop. You follow him as he narrates his latest job through hell as private security for the rich family the "Broncos". The story goes back and forth, between when you were working the job and how you came to it. It's a nice mix that gives some backstory to the story which is always a good thing. My only real problem with the story is that Max Payne is so miserable that you feel like telling him to suck it up and move on. Watching a sad sack mope around for over 10 hours isn't entertaining, but this is balanced out with the sarcastic humor found in the narration.
Max is just a lonely, depressed man.
The entire game you basically just keep seeing how things can screw over Max even more, and I'm not sure this was the best way to go about it. Most of the game you are either trying to find someone, or doing something that still continues the story but seems random. The story itself is quite bland, but that isn't exactly the focus of the game. Since all Max Payne is doing is private security work, it shows everything that can go wrong in an "actiony" way so as to entertain the player. If the story was a little stronger though, it would've been a gem. Like I said before, the game explains the backstory to the game and that's probably the best thing about the plot.
Max Payne 3 feels a lot like Kane and Lynch, where you are thrown into a world where everything is turning into madness (seemingly) and you are just stuck in the middle. I can say however that Kane and Lynch doesn't come close to the quality of Max Payne, the games are just similar if you know what I mean. A gritty story with hardly likeable characters shows this.
If the singleplayer game would have been co-op (with a different story, or altered story so the co-op fits) it would've been even better. Some sequences seemed like it was asking for co-op, quite notably a part when Max and his friend Passos are riding in a boat. Max shoots the enemies that are attacking the boat, but cooperatively a friend could've been Passos driving the boat.
Now onto the actual multiplayer. Someone's first thought about there being multiplayer in Max Payne 3 might be that it seems "tacked on" so it has a wider appeal. I personally don't think this is the case, as you can see some effort in the multiplayer, with all of the grinds, guns, and other unique things thrown in (like looting bodies for valuables and slow-motion with another player).
Like most games' multiplayer, you have the ability to create custom classes (after achieving a certain level, or rank) with many things to choose from. There's two-handed weapons, two single-handed weapon slots and many different perks and equipment that really just gives the player the ability to play how they want. If the multiplayer seemed tacked on to you before, it shouldn't now.
In terms of game modes, it doesn't stretch far. You've got your Deathmatch, your Team Deathmatch, larger versions of the two and then two unique modes. These being Gang Wars and Payne Killer. Gang Wars has you progress through "chapters", in different modes that are unique to this one mode. Payne Killer allows the player to be either Max Payne or Passos in a multiplayer game. They are overpowered, with lots of health and start with two bottles of painkillers. When you kill either, you become them.
I only ran into a few problems in Max Payne 3. One time during a between-level cutscene, all of the sounds disappeared except for obnoxious footsteps whenever Max would step. I'm one that likes subtitles so I know that there was monologue occurring, it wasn't just a silent cutscene.
Another was stated above, but I would get shot through walls (more than just one time) and would be in last-stand, while not able to see, let alone shoot, my attacker. It felt cheap and unnecessary.
My last problem with Max Payne 3 was the matchmaking. I got kicked from lobbies due to connection errors more times than I got in them. It meant that I couldn't quickly start the game up and play one match of multiplayer within a small time limit and be ready to go once the match was done. It took me maybe five minutes one time to actually find and join a game.
Other than those problems, the technical aspects of Max Payne 3 are great. The levels and environments look great and diverse. The character models are well animated and detailed, with fluid movements. Even the voice acting is quite top-notch. If only those hiccups wouldn't have been present, the technical aspect would've been perfect.
Also, Max Payne 3 has a weird sort of video-effect thing that it does every few seconds, with text coming up about keywords being spoken. I'm not sure what this symbolizes, that Max is a drunk and is going crazy? I'm not sure it was necessary.
I'm just not sure if this was needed, but it does give Max Payne 3 even more character.
Max Payne 3 isn't a walk in the park. To get all of the trophies takes many hours and multiple playthroughs. A minimum of four playthroughs to be exact. You first need to start off on hard (which I did, and got frustrated countless times). You need to actually beat the game on the hardcore difficulty setting without dying once all while completing each level within a certain time frame! It's madness.
In addition, there are plenty multiplayer and collectable trophies to keep you occupied. Reaching level 50 in multiplayer will take a long time. All in all, if you are looking for a fun game that you expect to earn the platinum in within a weeks time, you should look elsewhere.
I also experienced a trophy glitch with looting a body in multiplayer. I looted maybe 40+ bodies before I got the trophy after looting a single body in a different game mode. If you are having trouble with any of the trophies, consult this wonderful trophy guide by Marccap.
Closing Thoughts
Max Payne 3 is another beauty from Rockstar. Anyone who is a fan of action movies will absolutely love this game, as you are basically in one. If you like Grand Theft Auto's gameplay, then this is just a glorified version with less stealy stealy scenes, more adrenaline rushing slowy slowy scenes.
Gameplay: 9/10
What a game should be in terms of gameplay. Just pure slow-motion fun.
Singleplayer: 8/10
A mediocre story, but it was still fun blowing stuff up along the way.
Multiplayer: 7/10
There was nothing really there to grab you, but if you liked the singleplayer you will still like the multiplayer. It's great but it's more of the same, with the exception of great custom classes.
Technical: 9/10
A few hiccups prevent a perfect score unfortunately.
Overall: 8.5/10

Total Awards: 6Fantastic review Luckay.
I loved Max Payne 3, the story was cool to me and the multiplayer was decent. Worth AT LEAST a rent, but a purchase is even better because you can go back and play this amazing game.

Total Awards: 11Good stuff Luckay! Nailed it.
One of my favourites in terms of Soundtrack, Look, gameplay and narrative this year but once it was finished i felt no compulsion to do it again.Not one of Rockstar's best but easily better than the first two Max Payne titles ever were.
Amazed how Max cannot seem to go anywhere without causing a full scale bloodbath, the man is beyond misfortune and into superior fuckup land.
09-30-2012 #5
Great review DS. I heard some people say they love it, and a few say they were really disappointed with it. I'm gonna have to check it out for my self soon. Hopefully a Christmas sale will motivate me to get it then.
09-30-2012 #6
I can't say about the other Max Paynes as I've never actually played them But I agree, Max just goes screwing stuff up everywhere he goes.
If you can find it for about $15-20 I would say it's worth it.
Story wasn't big for me, as it's a pretty cliche one taken from any action movie.
It's definitely worth a try.

Great review . This is one platinum that I'm proud of having on my list.
10-01-2012 #12
As a long-term Max Payne fan I can honestly say that I was deeply impressed when I played this game at a friend's house. It is currently firmly at the top of my 'to-buy' list. Glad to see that Rockstar have kept the core values of Max Payne at the heart of the newest iteration of the franchise; infallible atmosphere, dire moral compasses and above all, a simply depressed, lonely man floating around in a life he no longer cares for. It's fucking awesome, and quintessentially Rockstar.
Good work on the review, man.
10-01-2012 #13
Great Review....this is one of most my most proudest plat so far
10-01-2012 #14
Rock star never fails. Their worst game was L.A. Noire.

Rockstar only produced L.A Noire. And it is far from a bad game, in my opinion anyway.

Detailed Description:
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disease that affects 1% of elderly people. Sleep disturbances affect up to 88% of patients with PD and commonly include sleep fragmentation and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS); these symptoms can significantly impair quality of life. The cause of sleep fragmentation and EDS is likely multifactorial, including medications, neurodegeneration, primary sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, and decreased physical activity. Pharmacotherapy in this population is limited due to side effects and drug-drug interactions.
The goal of this project is to develop non-pharmacologic therapies for impaired sleep quality and EDS in PD. Sleep disturbances and EDS are common among patients with PD and negatively affect their quality of life. There is data to support a role for physical activity in sleep in older adults with and without insomnia. Additionally, increased physical activity in patients with PD has been associated with improvement in PD motor symptoms and quality of life. Therefore, the investigators propose to examine the ability of structured physical activity to improve sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in patients with PD.
The overall objective of the proposed project is to develop behavioral approaches to improve sleep quality and daytime function in PD. The investigators propose to examine the effect of a structured physical activity program and sleep hygiene education on nighttime sleep quality and EDS in patients with idiopathic PD. There will be two groups: 1) a structured physical activity program with sleep hygiene education (SPA group), and 2) a control group receiving only sleep hygiene education (SH group) who will be offered the delayed physical activity program.
The investigators hypothesize that the structured physical activity program will improve subjective and objective sleep quality and daytime sleepiness compared to sleep hygiene education alone.

Karisma Kapoor's 3D thriller film, directed by Vikram Bhatt is all set to release this Friday, May 11. Read on to know all the buzz around it.
Supermodel Sanjana (Karisma Kapoor) and Rohan (Rajniesh Duggal), son of one of the nation's foremost business tycoons have been one of the most popular couples in the social circuit. When Sanjana decides against flying to Paris at the last minute – for a lucrative modeling assignment, she does so, not just because she cannot bear to stay away from her boyfriend Rohan, but more importantly because her instincts push her against going. But what her instincts cannot do is stop Rohan from getting kidnapped. The high profile kidnapping creates chaos in Sanjana's life. The kidnappers demand Rs 50 crore. The Police however believe that even paying the ransom will not bring Rohan back. Time is of utmost essence. Death stares Rohan in the eye. It is in this extreme trauma that Sanjana discovers something extraordinary. She sees visions of them together- sometime in the past- in different eras.
She is confused initially but in her visions lay definitive clues that could lead her to save the love of her life. As she follows clue after clue she gets closer and sometimes further away from the love that has been eluding her through the ages. An enticing suspense thriller, Dangerous Ishhq is Sanjana's tryst with destiny. Would she be able to unravel the past to save her future? Would she be able to rescue her love and expose his true captors?

2012 Mini Countryman John Cooper Works
- Priced from 28,595
- On sale now

Obtain a FREE used car valuation for any vehicle.
The Mini Countryman John Cooper Works is a hardcore range-topping version of the company's small SUV.
It gets similar enhancements to Mini's other JCW models, with more power, an upgraded chassis and a range of cosmetic tweaks.
What's the 2012 Mini Countryman John Cooper Works like to drive?
Mini's JCW models are usually a bit of a handful, because they have well over 200bhp and send all of this to the front wheels.
The Countryman is different, though, because it's the only JCW with four-wheel drive. Power is split equally between the front and rear wheels in everyday driving, but more is sent to the appropriate end if the wheels start to spin.
This really helps calm things down, and means the Countryman can easily cope with the 215bhp pumped out by its 1.6-litre turbocharged engine. It claws its way off the line with no fuss whatsoever, and doesn't tug away at the steering wheel when you accelerate hard out of slow corners.
The downside of the four-wheel-drive system is that it adds quite a bit of weight (around 70kg), so once you're moving, the speed doesn't build quite as quickly as you might expect.
The 0-62mph time of 7.0 seconds is hardly shabby, but lighter hot hatchbacks such as the Ford Focus ST and the VW Golf GTI will leave the Mini trailing.
More impressive than the outright pace is the engine's flexibility. It'll happily pull 30mph in sixth gear, and revs sweetly to well over 6000rpm. It sounds great, too, with the exhaust popping and spitting when you back off the throttle.
Larger anti-roll bars and lowered suspension are fitted to help keep the Mini's high-sided body in check through corners, and the JCW is certainly more nimble than lesser Countrymans as a result.
Again, though, the Mini is outshone by the best hot hatches, because it doesn't change direction as quickly or neatly as lower rivals, including the Focus and Golf.
The steering gives you little confidence, too; it's initially light and incredibly quick to react, but weights up unnervingly as the car starts to turn in.
Like all Countrymans, the JCW also has a decidedly firm ride, but at least the lower and stiffer set-up hasn't made things appreciably worse.
What's the 2012 Mini Countryman John Cooper Works like inside?
The changes inside are rather more minimal. There are a few John Cooper Works' badges scattered around the cabin and some piano black inserts on the dashboard, but that's about it.
Like all versions of the Countryman built from November onwards, the JCW also has relocated window switches they're now on the doors rather than on the centre console.
The rest of the control layout remains unchanged, which means the retro design looks great, but isn't especially user-friendly.
Don't expect huge practicality, either. The Countryman is easily the biggest car Mini makes, but despite its SUV pretentions, it's no more spacious than a Golf.
True, the sliding rear seats mean you can have either a big boot or loads of legroom, but there's not enough space for you to have both at the same time.
The lofty driving position does give a great view out, though.
Should I buy one?
If you want a fun and fairly practical family car, you're better off looking at a Ford Focus ST or VW Golf GTI.
Both of these hot hatchbacks aren't just faster and more rewarding than the JCW, they're just as spacious and significantly cheaper to buy.
If you're dead set on a Countryman and want a powerful petrol engine, save yourself 6000 and go for the Cooper S model.

native korean rock & the fishnetsV.23 No.32 | 8/7/2014 Jesse Schulz MusicRooster Roundabout: This week's music highlightsWriter Mark Lopez' musings on upcoming records by Timbaland and TV on the Radio, new videos by Janelle Monåe, Beck and Karen O, and Flake Music's reissue. V.23 No.27 | 7/3/2014 Good news for good news lovers Man, them Swedish folks sure know how to craft a nice pop tune. This song may have some bubblegum-ness to it, but damn if it ain't catchy. Oh, I'm talking about Icona Pop's new song. In case you're unfamiliar with the Swedish pop duo, they hit it pretty big with their track "I Love It," and now they've come out with a new tune that might not have the same edge of the aforementioned ditty, but it's for sure gonna snare them some new fans, if not keep the old ones steady until a full-length manifests. Have a listen to "Get Lost" below. I'm sure there has been talk of this, but I wasn't aware. Aretha Franklin is recording a divas covers album. Ms. Franklin took the time to speak with Billboard about working with Andre 3000 (who is a co-producer on the record), the status of the album (she's "on it") and named a few songs she's covering. Among them are Adele's "Rollin in the Deep," Donna Summer's "Last Dance" and Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do With It." Head to Billboard to read what one of the best vocalists ever had to say about what she's working on. Some electronica-lovin' folks are 'bout to get super-duper excited. Grimes has come out with a new track (apparently her first in two years), and it was originally written to be performed by Rihanna ... who turned it down. So what was Grimes to do? Why, record it herself! The song (titled "Go") is a lovely, atmospheric tune that's got a banging beat, background yelps and some smooth, slick production, and it also features Blood Diamonds. Have a listen below. For fans of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, including myself, it's time to get excited: Karen O is coming out with her first solo effort (Crush Songs). Granted, she already recorded solo material with Native Korean Rock & the Fishnets, but that project only released rough demos, which you can still find on YouTube. But this is an actual full-length endeavor, y'all. That drops on Sept. 9, which isn't too far off, so keep scanning those headlines for more info in the coming months. While I didn't listen to Robert Plant's last solo record (Band of Joy), I was a huge fan of his collaborative LP with Alison Krauss (Raising Sand). That record was phenomenal; all you have to do is listen and hear how their voices meld together to form a sound that can't be replicated, a sound that is pure magic. See "Stick With Me Baby." Regardless, Plant is coming out with another solo effort, titled lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar. That'll hit stores on Sept. 9, and you can have a listen to album track "Rainbow" below. It's here people! Well, the announcement is here. Julian Casablancas + the Voidz have officially announced their debut record (or Casablancas' second solo record). The album (Tyranny) hits stores and online markets on Sept. 23 and will be sold through Casablancas' Cult Records, where it's on preorder now for the mere cost of $3.87. You read that right. Head over to Rolling Stone to read more about the album. Get ready for the blasphemy because I'm gonna say it: I've never really listened to Radiohead. And it's not because of any disrespect, but mostly because they just haven't crossed my path as much as most. Wait ... does "Creep" count? Okay, back to the point. Radiohead drummer Philip Selway is coming out with a new solo record. There isn't too much info on the release, other than it's called Weatherhouse and comes out on Oct. 7. So keep an ear out for that. Oh snap! Prince is back! Well, he never really went away, but you know what I mean. The pop diva (erm ... divo? What's the male term?) has announced another album is on the way (on top of his 3rdEyeGirl record, which still hasn't seen a proper release). Good news? Hell, you're getting two for the price of one, or maybe not the price of one, but you catch my drift, right? As for the album, there's no title or release date, but Prince did name a few tracks: "The Gold Standard" and "This Could Be Us." Head to Pitchfork to read more 'bout it. Audio/Visual If you've read this column, I'm sure you're tired of witnessing my excitement concerning Veruca Salt's reunion. But hey, it didn't end there, and it won't end here. The band has now come out with a video to the b-side of their first single, "The Museum of Broken Relationships," aka "It's Holy." The video features band footage along with fans listening to the record in the comfort of their own homes. Scroll down a little further to view the little gem. As Rolling Stone notes, Robin Thicke's new video for the song "Get Her Back" is kind of "awkward." While I don't indulge in gossip, the track is supposedly a plea to his estranged wife, begging for her to come back. The awkward (and so 2014) parts of the video are the text messages that flash across the screen. I'm not sure if they're real, but either way, it's pretty uncomfortable. But I'll let you decide for yourself. Also, you can pick up the album (titled Paula, yes, after his wife) next week. Enjoy!

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
Marlborough Mayor Arthur Vigeant plans to seek funding for a new senior center at Ward Park as early as next month, but park neighbors say they're considering taking legal action to block the facility.
Vigeant will likely put the project before the City Council at their Aug. 26 meeting, said Michael Berry, executive aide to the mayor. The Council will then likely send the proposal to its Finance Committee for consideration. The 22,000 square foot building is expected to cost somewhere between $6 and $7 million, with another approximately $2 million for improvements to Ward Park.
But members of a neighborhood group say the city isn't allowed to use the open space for the building without getting legislative approval, among other legal hurdles.

Hey guys, I just came here. Someone told me there's something wrong with the mods on the KSP forum.
What's up?
EDIT: I deserve a prestige award for lateness. Just read it all.
Hey guys, I just came here. Someone told me there's something wrong with the mods on the KSP forum.
What's up?
EDIT: I deserve a prestige award for lateness. Just read it all.
And that exactly the type of metality that people need to stop having.
So just because I'm not the "Oh so holy" moderator of KSP my proof is bullshit.
Ok then.
Hi I'm facepunch and my hobbies are gasmasks andthrowing fecesfixing other community's moderation teams.
So, back on to rocketry.
Dat engine gimbal.
How high can that thing go?
About half a mile.
So i uh... joined a KSP Multiplayer server and on the first day it was pretty desolate.
I leave for ONE DAY and i come back to this mess...
There is much much more but yeah.
Oh god it's almost like real life.
So I figure a lot of people here are interested in space, so you some of you guys have bought Universe Sandbox.
To those people; is it worth getting?
anyone up for a fp multiplayer server?
Forgot to mention, the multiplayer program is KSP Kessler.
Follow the instructions and what not, and make sure you have a save or it won't work.
(3 servers right now, im on the german even though i am canadian, would not mind if someone put a Facepunch one :3)
I guess this is the reason we can't have space elevators.
It's good for fucking around in every now and again. I'm sure you'd like it if you like KSP.
Maybe if someone makes a rear-facing docking clamp (heh) next update, we could actually make one to absolutely ruin orbits.
I feel like ramming my rocket into other people's rockets.
I guess that's the only form of interaction you can achieve, until you get the ability to dock with other men... I mean rockets.
Give me 5 minutes to check everything, then we should be golden for FP Kessler
broke kessler. not gonna be running it, someone else should be able to do it, its pretty easy
What exactly broke? can't you redownload it?
Edit: not sure if i could put one up, as i do not have something i can keep on 24/7
Heres my idea.
We have a server, we send up space stations and destroy others.
Only rule would be you need to stay within Sun orbit.
Solar orbit only? That's a stupid idea.
That would not work, you see...
Quoted from the kessler main page.
Won't he be sad when I smash that MIR replica into the moon?
Once you have a ship, changes made to it aren't copied back to the server - they stay local to your save file. So just because it's smashed into the moon on your save doesn't mean everyone else's copies of the same MIR will do the same.
The change would only happen to your copy, unless everybody smashed it, if i read it right.
You could orbit Kerbin and Mun aswell but if you go out of the suns orbit then its kinda hard to catch up.
Oh well.
Yeah sadly i won't be able to put up a server, does anybody else have the ability to?
I do but I don't wanna sign my self up to anything.
I could set one up, maybe.
I use my server for a lot of things, so don't count on it.
What if you smack a satellite out of orbit and send up a new ship which somehow overlaps the orbit the one the person you smacked away had and when the guy who owned that satellite logs on your ship is inside his.
It would be ridiculously hard and not any practical at all, but it sure is interesting kind of like a paradox whereas your satellite is orbiting while for him both blew up because his clipped inside yours.
As long as you upload to the server YOUR change which is the rocket which hits the satellite, and the other guy downloads from the server for whatever events that have gone on. Then yes that should work, but it would be difficult. (matching where exactly the satellite was originally.)
Really the only way to troll is to upload lots and lots of orbiting space junk and/or to fly up really resource taxing ships.
Could put them in the same orbit, just going the other way around, should be enough force to destroy it.
Hey guys haven't popped in the thread in quite a while.
how's the multiplayer mod doing? Does stuff still only sync / update every time you launch a new craft or is it real time now?
At first I was like "Yes you have, you just posted your Ding Dong Shepard stream earlier today" and then I realized I was in the wrong tab.
No you have to go to the Kerbal Space Center screen to update the game.
Yep, ksp mods just reached a whole new level of retardation.
They just banned an entire network(Plusnet) and aparently they will ban any other networks that I join on.
They banned what? Also, that's not how we're supposed to deal with those things now.
How does one join the ksp IRC?
Anyone that has Plusnet as an ISP is banned.
That means I can't join either.
Anyway, just connect through VPN's on as many different ISP's as possible. Eventually they will have to give up. The more efficient version of this is to find out what ISP's the mods use and use VPN's on them, then they can't ban them.
Cause they are tech illiterate, evidently.
DamionRayne and Capt_Monkey use comcast
Could you direct me to a tutorial to do that and I've yet to see where I can get a free VPN.
Please don't kill verizon?
Maybe they just thought an IP ban wasn't harsh enough.
C7 is on comcast aswell.
Socket7 is on verizon.
thread lurker here, why don't you guys just LEAVE the KSP forums if its so shit?

What it means that Bynum's MCL is "still loose" and what he intends to break out this season
Andrew Bynum didn't have to say it for anyone to know it, but he did say it again Monday.
"I expect to be out there at the end of the game. I expect to be able to block shots and put the ball in the basket at the end of games."
Bynum has longed for crunchtime minutes for the past two seasons (when he has been healthy), so it follows that he believes he's more ready than ever. Phil Jackson said Bynum will get some late-game chances, one way or another, but was clear that he needs some convincing that Bynum can do more and be comparably dependable as Lamar Odom or Pau Gasol.
Bynum is fully prepared to put his best foot forward -- even if it is connected to a right knee locked up in that bulky brace -- and I am sold that you will see improvements in his explosiveness on offense and pick-and-roll coverage on defense, his specific areas of emphasis in offseason workouts. Those upgrades were revealed in my extended Bynum column that also details how he is inherently an injury risk because he has ligamentous laxity and absolutely does need that brace.
There's one more thing Bynum and his personal trainer, Sean Zarzana, really emphasized going into this season. However, I'm going to make you sign up to follow me on Twitter to read about that one. I'll be tweeting this season -- not a ton during training camp, but definitely plenty during the regular season and postseason -- so expect fresh, additional notes and a lot of the fun stuff from me that way. Hope to see you over there.

Change the number of posts displayed in individual category archives and their feeds--independently of each other.
With WordPress, you have the ability to change the number of posts that appear in a typical loop or in a feed, but it's a global change that affects every loop or feed on your site. Posts Per Category remedies that at the category level, giving you control over the number of posts that appear on a category archive page or in a category feed. You just choose a category, enter the number of posts you want to show on the archive page and in the feed, and click "Save." It's that easy.
Posts Per Category was originally created to allow Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income to change the number of items that appeared in his podcast category feed. Listeners were wondering why they couldn't see more than the ten latest episodes of his popular podcast in iTunes. The reason turned out to be that his podcast category feed was limited by the global setting in the Reading panel. He couldn't change that number without changing the length of every single feed in WordPress and there didn't appear to be any solutions available, which is why he worked with us to create Posts Per Category.

By Emily Le Coz/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Northeast Mississippi public librarians will join colleagues from throughout the state at the Capitol today to lobby for more funding.
In an event called "Pie Day," the group will serve legislators slices of homemade pecan pie and urge them to give libraries their fair share when dividing up the state budget.
"We just want to make sure legislators remember libraries when making these budget decisions and that they understand the roles libraries are playing in these economic times and the difference they're making in the communities," said Sharman B. Smith, executive director of the Mississippi Library Commission.
The effort comes on the heels of repeated budget cuts that have forced libraries to reduce staffing and withhold purchases. The monetary woes coincide with record library usage.
Never before have so many people frequented public libraries. Free access to books, DVDs, computers and the Internet allows them to save money during times of economic hardship.
Among Northeast Mississippi officials to attend are Lee-Itawamba Library System Director Jan Willis, Northeast Regional Library System Director William McMullin and Dixie Regional Library System Director Judy McNeece.
Those three systems alone have lost a combined $50,000 in state funds this current fiscal year, which began in July.
"I know it doesn't sound like a lot when you hear about all the other budget cuts," McNeece said. "But we still want to let them know that there are real people these cuts are affecting who are their constituents."
The state this year had budgeted $5.9 million for libraries through the personnel-incentive grant program. The program provides money to Mississippi's public library systems, allowing them to offset staff salaries. Half of the money is distributed by the county, the other half by per-capita population counts.
Two cuts already have reduced the $5.9 million budgeted for the program in FY10, which began in July. It now stands at $5.3 million.
Library officials have been told by state leaders to brace for another cut before the fiscal year ends June 30.

'My pictures': Son of Nazi-era dealer at loss
MUNICH As an expert in works of art that the Nazis called "degenerate" and in the dealers who traded them during World War II, Vanessa Voigt often wondered what had become of Cornelius Gurlitt, son of a prominent Nazi-era art dealer.
Voigt last year finally came face-to-face with the man who kept popping up in her research. German customs officers had stumbled on some 1,280 paintings and drawings – believed to be worth more than $1 billion – in Gurlitt's Munich apartment, and they turned to Voigt.
A distressed Gurlitt repeatedly muttered, " 'Now they are taking everything from me,' " Voigt recalled. "He was mortified."
In his first interview, published Sunday in Der Spiegel magazine, Gurlitt, 80, said confiscation of the art was a devastating blow – more difficult even than the loss of his sister, Benita, to cancer last year. "Saying goodbye to my pictures was the most painful of all," he said.
Gurlitt said he had not watched television since 1963 and never had gone online, but did talk to his pictures.
Until the February 2012 raid, Gurlitt had guarded his privacy zealously, refusing to open his door even to meter readers. His sudden fame as keeper of the largest trove of masterworks to be found since World War II bewilders him.
"What do these people want from me?" he asked. "I'm just a very quiet person. All I wanted to do was live with my pictures."
For more than a half-century, Gurlitt's only true companions were a vast menagerie of vibrant, multicolored images created by Picasso, Chagall, Gauguin and a host of other modern masters. He inherited the works from his father, Hildebrand Gurlitt, an exuberant Nazi-era art dealer, part Jewish, who at times worked in the service of the Third Reich but also counted artists disliked by the Nazis among his friends.
Christine Echter, caretaker of the building in which Gurlitt lived until retiring, said, "He wasn't just weird these last few years; he's always been that way."
Watching over his family's art trove was Gurlitt's only known job. He periodically dipped into the collection to select a work to sell, a need that became more pressing in recent years as his health declined, according to Der Spiegel.
The last piece he is known to have sold – "The Lion Tamer," by German artist Max Beckmann – fetched $1.17 million at an auction in Cologne in 2011. Gurlitt agreed to give 45 percent of the proceeds to a Jewish family that originally had owned the work.
Emmarentia Bahlmann, a Munich-based art expert for the Cologne auction house, Kunsthaus Lempertz, said she found Gurlitt to be "in full control of his senses," a "shy old man" with elegant attire, good manners and a clear mind.

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
Boat ramp at Carter's Lake.
A couple of Pickens cyclists returned from a ride Sunday to find a window smashed and some possessions gone after leaving their vehicle at a Carters Lake parking lot.
Judy Galvin said they were surprised that the window had been smashed while their car sat at the re-regulation dam park on Old 411 during broad daylight.
"There were a lot of people at the park," she said. "I can't believe it happened in broad daylight and no one saw anything."
Galvin said an officer from the Murray County Sheriff's Office told her there had been quite a few car break-ins recently. A supervisor with the Army Corps of Engineers, who manages the lake, said they would increase patrols there.
Galvin said the deputy thought it may have been kids who broke into the car, as some of the items taken were of no value, such as a hair brush and a monogrammed canvas tote bag while several gift cards where left and a wallet apparently missed by the thieves rummaging through the car.

Longyuan Power said the new H Shares to be issued represent just under 50% of the issued 2.7 billion H Shares issued as at 11 May 2012. In total it has issued 7.46 billion shares. H shares are traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and available to overseas investors.
The new shares are to be issued with a nominal value of CNY 1.00 each to institutional buyers.
The raised proceeds will be used to fund its new renewable energy power generation projects, with the bulk of the money being spent on the wind power sector.
Longyuan Power intends to spend half of the net proceeds on Chinese onshore wind power generation projects. 20% of the money will go to offshore wind power generation projects.
15% in overseas wind power and solar power generation projects. 5% will go towards solar power generation projects in the country. The remainder will go towards working capital.
In 2011, Longyuan Power had CNY 2.638 billion net profits, up 31% on 2010. It has installed 8.598GW wind turbines installed by the end of March, up 35.4% on 2010.

Make a Fathers Day wish come true!!
My dad was a bank Vice President up until November 2008. The banking industry was under scrutiny and his bank was forced to relieve 7 people due to not making profit goals and losing capitol to sustain the people at the bank. He has not been able to find a career since then due to the economy. This man has always done miraculous feats of compassion towards others and he deserves the opportunity to enjoy his life which he has made to be an unselfish giving experience to countless others. This getaway would be a tremendous opportunity for him as a way to help lift up his spirits and give him a break from the harshness of his career search in this tough economy. My dad loves to golf and he has 4 sons that play golf as well. We haven't had the opportunity to take a vacation for a few years together, this would be a welcome blessing to our "Dad" on "Fathers Day." Thank you.
