This seventh generation Fiesta has grown up a bit, but it hasn't lost the youthful, eager feel that endeared previous generation models to so many supermini buyers. Beneath the smarter styling lies some clever user-friendly technology - and cabin quality that'll make down-sizing into one of these less of a chore. It also features a much more competitive entry-level petrol engine, a three cylinder 1.1-litre Ti-VCT unit.
What's been the world's most significant car in the last half a century? This is our nomination, Ford's Fiesta, rejuvenated here in MK7 model guise for a fresh generation of buyers. Believe or not, the bodywork's completely new; so is the suspension - and as a result, the driving dynamics are promised to be even better than ever. There's a brand new interior fashioned with much higher quality. And buyers will benefit from a fresh era of media connectivity and camera-driven safety technology. One of the most important changes over the previous model though, was the ditching of that old car's thirsty, inefficient four cylinder 1.25-litre petrol engine. In the place of that powerplant, entry-level buyers now get the three cylinder 1.1-litre Ti-VCT unit we're going to look at here, offered in either 70 or 85PS guises.
Variations on the Fiesta theme may come and go, but before driving any version of Ford's definitive supermini, there's one thing you almost always tend to know for certain: that it'll be a great steer. This time round, the Blue Oval brand has sought to retain that traditional Fiesta attribute, yet at the same time, introduce a standard of ride quality closer to that delivered by arch-rivals like Volkwagen's Polo. Out on the road, in some ways, this car isn't quite the sharp, eager thing we remembered from before, but it can still offer a level of handling joie de vivre that's beyond anything its competitors can manage. That's thanks to improved steering, a lightweight body that's now usefully stiffer and an effective torque vectoring system that helps you get the grip down in the corners. Engine-wise, all the volume petrol units are now three cylinder in configuration, the line-up propped up by the new 1.1-litre Ti-VCT powerplant we're looking at here, available with either 70 or 85PS. This engine borrows from much of the brand's EcoBoost technology and has been mated to a manual gearbox that we're told has been freshly-developed for it, despite the fact that it soldiers on with only five speeds. The base 70PS 1.1 Ti-VCT variant manages 62mph from rest in 14.9s en route to 99mph, while the 85PS version improves those figures to 14s and 105mph. It is a bit disappointing though, that with this engine, Ford hasn't fitted the rear disc brakes you get in most other models.
Though this seventh generation Fiesta might look much the same, dimensionally it's actually quite a fundamentally altered product, 70mm longer, 13mm wider and 20mm lower than before, plus virtually every constituent part of the car is different. You can see though, why the brand wanted the look and feel of this supermini to stay much the same. The company's European Design Director Joel Piaskowski says he wanted to evolve the styling in a way that would make it more contemporary without losing the essential 'Fiesta-ness' that customers love. That's what's been delivered. Inside, the cabin's much classier. There are flush, seamless surfaces, soft-touch plastic coatings and neat splashes of chrome, plus it all seems to have been very well screwed together by the factory in Cologne. Other than that, the first thing you'll probably notice is the infotainment system that now sprouts in free-standing form from the top of the centre console. The screen options vary depending on the model or options you choose - there are 4.2, 6.5 or, as in this case, 8.0-inch sizes, all featuring pin-sharp graphics, logical menus and fast processor speeds. In the rear, there's 16mm more knee room than there was before, plus the seats are softer and offer greater side-to-side support. The extra body length has allowed the cargo area to be 17-litres larger than it was before, now rated at 292-litres for both three and five-door bodyshapes.
Prices for the base 1.1-litre Ti-VCT petrol unit variants stat at around £13,000 and there's a choice of 70 or 85PS variants. Equipment levels are very reasonable this time round. Even with base 'Style' trim, you get air conditioning, Bluetooth with the 'My Ford Device Dock' for your smartphone handset and an 'Emergency Assistance' system that'll automatically summon help should the airbags go off. Other standard features include a 6-speaker audio system, a trip computer, driver's seat height adjustment, daytime running lights, auto headlamps, a speed limiter and a pretty complete package of safety features that we'll over later. Plus there's the Ford 'My Key' system that lets you set certain functions that can be restricted with the spare individual keyfob provided, so for instance, the volume of the stereo or the maximum speed can be limited for younger drivers. As a parent, that feature alone would really sell this car to me. Let's consider this Fiesta's safety credentials. Ford says that the B-pillar and the doors have been re-designed to provide better side-impact protection this time round and every variant is fitted with seven airbags - twin front, side and curtain 'bags, plus one for the driver's knees. For highway safety, all variants get two features you wouldn't expect to see fitted right across the range on a supermini: there's a 'Lane Keeping Alert' system that warns you if you veer out of lane and a 'Lane Keeping Aid' that will automatically steer you gently back to where you should be.
One of Ford's priorities this time round was to get the Fiesta's efficiency showing up to scratch right across the range. In the previous generation line-up, the figures you got from the 1.0T EcoBoost turbo petrol three cylinder powerplant and the TDCi diesel units were exemplary - but these were comparatively pricey engine options. In contrast, the returns delivered by the old-fashioned 1.25-litre petrol unit that budget-minded customers often found themselves stuck with at the bottom of the range were terrible. In this day and age, a supermini unable to crack 55mpg on the combined cycle and putting out more than 120g/km of CO2 has an efficiency problem: Ford had to sort it. They have. The normally aspirated entry-level 1.1-litre Ti-VCT three cylinder powerplant we've been looking at here shares much of the technology of the pokier EcoBoost turbo units including, crucially, their engine stop/start systems. As a result, the figures you get are very sensible by class standards, though still not quite as impressive as those of the petrol turbo models. This base engine comes in either 70 or 85PS guises and either way, delivers 64.2mpg on the combined cycle and 101g/km of CO2. Insurance for this 1.2-litre variant is pitched at group 2E for the 70PS derivative, while the 85PS version is group 5E.

PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) a simple cost effective way to buy your new or nearly new
You choose the car, the deposit, how long you want the contract to run for and the mileage you intend to do. You will then receive a quote for fixed cost motoring for the length of the contract. At the end of the contract you have a choice to either buy the car outright for an agreed lump sum (the GFV or final balloon payment), or hand the vehicle back to the lender.
Hire Purchase allows you to take ownership of a car once all payments are made.
This is one of the most popular methods to buy a new vehicle. You pay an initial deposit, then pay off the balance in monthly payments over an agreed period of time, when the payments are complete the car is yours.
One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on
monthly payments.
Hire Purchase allows you to tailor your finance package as deposit, length of time and monthly payments are all flexible.
Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for
private individuals. This
is one of the most common form of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a car for a contractual period � usually referred to as the �lease period�. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract � when the contract expires you will simply return the car and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your car.

Seriously, READ THAT THREAD BEFORE POSTING HERE. That thread will give you details on how to decrypt these sort of things yourself. Almost everything posted here has been something that could have been easily decrypted by simply reading that post.
We recommend that you do not use encrypted themes. Encryption is often used to insert malicious code. Decoding part of an encrypted theme does not mean that it is all clean. If you choose to use an encrypted theme, it is at your own risk.
If your theme has been posted under a non-GPL license, it may be against the terms of the theme to attempt to decode it or to have someone else decode it for you.
If you can't decode your own encrypted themes using this information and still want to use one rather than pick from the thousands of themes that don't have obfuscated code in them, post your request for decryption in here, and maybe someone will help you out.
- Code should be place into a pastebin, not into this thread.
- Decoding the theme does not guarantee safety from malicious code.

Teddy Riley On His Studio Setup
Teddy Riley On His Studio Setup
Check out Teddy laying down a cover of his RnB supergroup Guy's 'Teddy's Jam' to see that his keyboard skills are just as impressive as his song writing and engineering.
It's the sound quality of the Mininova that drew Teddy in, particularly the vocoder. Being a big part of his signature sound he likes to make sure he has the biggest and best selection of vocoders and the Mininova meets his criteria. You can also see it's vast potential as a performance synth with Teddy merrily tweaking and making adjustments on the fly.
Another key part of the studio is the Novation SL MkII controller which is at the core. With keys, controls, transport buttons and Automap there's no need to venture near the mouse when you're in full creative flow.
When it comes to mixing Teddy prefers to remain hands on right to the very end. He automates using the Focusrite 2802 faders to get the vibe and then draws in finer adjustments and corrections later. There's also the Buss Compressor which he loves for the final analogue character and mix punch.
As we've covered in a previous article Teddy likes to use Presonus Studio One, again it chimes with his straightforward, hands on philosophy. You don't want complexity to drag you down when it's all happening in the studio.
Speaking to Focusrite about how it all started Teddy said:
"I didn't make up the name new jack swing," says Teddy. "It was given to me Barry Michael Cooper." Cooper co-wrote the screenplay for the film New Jack City and was a prominent music journalist in New York in the early '90s. "He did an interview with me and asked me how I would describe my music. I said 'sophisticated bubblegum R&B'. He said 'that's too long, you should call it new jack swing, because you're the new kid on the block that's swinging it.' So I give credit to him for giving me that name. I ran with it and everybody joined the movement. Bobby Brown, Kool Moe Dee, Guy, Blackstreet, Boyz II Men, Bel Biv Devoe, New Kids On The Block, N Sync, Backstreet Boys - they made my genre big. And that feels great, for so many musicians and artists to be a part of such a strong movement. We all are still doing New Jack Swing."
Novation SL49 MkII
Complete control of you DAW. Faders for mixing, transport controls for recording, pads for beats, keys for virtual instruments plus knobs and buttons to tweak them all further. Sound complex? Not to worry as Novation's unique Automap software takes the hassle out of setup and play.
Focusrite Forte
Teddy loves the character of his analogue/digital 2802 console. Get the Focusrite sound for less, the high end Forte is reduced by £60 until the end of July 2013. That's true analogue console character for your home DAW or location recording.
Novation Mininova
A massive range of sounds (the same as it's big brother the Ultranova) and immediate control of performance parameters. The Mininova is a full studios worth of synths in one portable package.
Preonus Audio Box With 'Studio One Artist'
Everything you need to get started out at home. With Teddy's favoured Studio One in the box along with a number of virtual instruments & samples. Grab a MIDI controller and a mic your good to go.

Launchpad Digital Media And Edison Research Team To Provide Audience Measurement For The Rapidly Growing Podcasting Industry
-- Groundbreaking New Metrics Make Measuring Podcast Audiences Easy For Advertisers -
Feb 12, 2013, 02:48 ET
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Launchpad Digital Media announced today the engagement of Edison Research to create standard metrics to measure the rapidly expanding audience from podcasts. Edison will collect and audit data from all Launchpad podcasts and generate monthly figures to show the scope and growth of the on-demand audio platform. Launchpad is a division of Norm Pattiz's Courtside Entertainment Group and currently represents on-demand and streaming podcast programming, which delivers over 90 million downloads every month.
"We formed Launchpad to apply proven, successful monetization methods to the expanding world of on-demand digital media," said Norm Pattiz, Chairman of Launchpad Digital Media and Founder of Westwood One and Courtside Entertainment Group. "To do that you need to speak the advertisers' language. These new metrics will put the sizable podcast audience in terms advertisers can understand and utilize effectively. I worked closely with Edison Research to establish similar metrics when I was on the board of the Broadcasting Board of Governors of the United States of America. We launched Arabic language radio and satellite television services to 22 countries in the Middle East. If we can measure the audience in Arabic, English should be no problem at all."
Speaking about the relationship, Edison Research President, Larry Rosin, said: "We are excited to begin this new relationship with Launchpad Digital Media. The metrics Edison will be providing will further help legitimize podcasting for advertisers and help emphasize its growing prominence as a platform for listeners to consume and control their content."
Kit Gray, Launchpad President, said: "The podcasting space is growing at an enormous rate. Technology has empowered audiences and they are demanding on-demand media like never before. Until now advertisers lacked the in-depth audience measurement tools available to them with more traditional forms of media. Podcasters will now be able to quantify their audience in a language familiar to the advertising community."

A diver bitten twice on the leg by a hammerhead shark has been spared further pain by police, who pulled his car over as he was speeding his way to a West Australian hospital for treatment.
The 26 year-old man from Karratha in the state's north, was free diving near Legendre Island, around 40km north of Dampier, when he was bitten twice on the calf by the shark on Saturday morning.
After making his way back to land on his boat, the injured man was being driven to nearby Nickol Bay hospital in Karratha by friends when the car was pulled over on the Dampier Highway by local officers.
Preparing to issue a ticket, the officers were persuaded to let the car carry on its speedy journey when they learned of his plight.
A WA police spokesman said the man's injuries were not believed to be life threatening but he is due to be flown by Royal Flying Doctor Service to Perth for further treatment.

Pick 4 plus FIREBALL FAQs
What is plus FIREBALL? How do I win with this add-on feature?
After the winning numbers have been drawn for the Pick 4 base game, a plus FIREBALL will be drawn for each game from a pool of balls numbered 0 to 9. Players who selected plus FIREBALL will win if the plus FIREBALL number can replace any of the numbers drawn to create a winning plus FIREBALL combination that matches the player's numbers for the player's play style. Note: If a player wins due to plus FIREBALL, the prize is equal to 40% the base prize amount for all additional winning combinations due to plus FIREBALL, as determined by the player's play style and wager amount selections.
Example: Example: A player selects the numbers 2 5 3 6 and adds plus FIREBALL to their straight wager. The Lottery draws the winning numbers 1 5 3 6, in this example with a plus FIREBALL number of 2. In this instance, the plus FIREBALL number 2 would replace the first digit of the winning numbers drawn to create a winning plus FIREBALL combination. Because the player selected the plus FIREBALL add-on feature, they were able to turn a non-winning ticket into a winning ticket by matching the new winning plus FIREBALL combination ( 2 5 3 6) to their selected numbers ( 2 5 3 6 ).
What Happens If The plus FIREBALL Number Is The Same As My Selected Numbers?
In the event the plus FIREBALL number is the same as one of the winning numbers, and the player's numbers match the numbers drawn for that play style, the player will be awarded the Pick 4 base prize and the plus FIREBALL prize for all winning plus FIREBALL combinations for the player's play style and wager amount.
Example: A player selects 1 2 2 2 straight for $.50 and adds plus FIREBALL, doubling the price to $1.00. The Lottery draws Pick 4 numbers 1 2 2 2 and the plus FIREBALL number is 2. The player would win 4 times – once for matching the winning combination (straight) of 1 2 2 2 for the base game and three times more for replacing winning numbers of 2 with the plus FIREBALL 2. Using this scenario, the player would win $5,500: $2,500 for the base prize and $3,000 for matching 3 winning plus Fireball combinations.
How Much Does plus FIREBALL Cost?
The cost for plus FIREBALL is equal to the cost of your original base wager. (For example: if your original base wager is $0.50, your plus FIREBALL wager will be an additional $0.50.) You cannot add plus FIREBALL to individual games unless you use separate play slips.
How Does plus FIREBALL Affect Multidraw Purchases?
When you select plus FIREBALL, this will apply to all games (boards) on a play slip, including advance plays. If you do not want to add plus FIREBALL to all of your advance purchases, multiple play slips must be used.
Does plus FIREBALL affect the Pick 4 base game?
No, none of the current play styles will change, and opting to play plus FIREBALL will not impact any of these selections. You can still win Pick 3 and Pick 4 without playing plus FIREBALL.
Where And When Can I Find Out The plus FIREBALL Number For My Selected Draw?
The current draw schedule for Pick 4 midday and evening draws will remain the same. The plus FIREBALL is always numbered, a number from 0 to 9. Information about numbers drawn will be available immediately following each drawing on www.illinoislottery.com.
How Will I Know If I Have Purchased plus FIREBALL?
If you have selected plus FIREBALL, your ticket will clearly be marked with a YES indicator for the plus FIREBALL feature.

The Iranian Pro League season reaches Round 23 of 34 on Friday, with leaders Esteghlal hosting mid-table arch-rivals Persepolis. It is the 76th edition of a Tehran derby all eyes will be on.
Even among all the vintage fixtures across Asia, Esteghlal-Persepolis stands out. Both are among the most successful Iranian clubs and share the 90,000-capacity Azadi Stadium, and both boast large followings from the capital and beyond.
Since its maiden running in 1968, Esteghlal-Persepolis quickly rose to become its country's national derby and a who's who of Iranian greats have experienced its intensity. To name but a few, Ali Parvin turned out for Persepolis against their bitter enemies a record 20 times, while the likes of AFC Asian Cup 1972 top scorer Hossein Kalani, world football's all-time leading international marksman Ali Daei, and the legendary Karim Bagheri have all graced the fixture with their presence.
"The Reds versus the Blues is arguably one of the most colorful, historic and exciting derbies in Asia", former Persepolis and Iran coach Afshin Ghotbi told FIFA.com prior to the upcoming match. "This derby has a massive social, cultural and sporting meaning to fans not only across Iran but also around the world."
Ghotbi, who guided Persepolis to their last league title in 2007/08 and is now at the Shimizu S-Pulse controls added: "I expect all the players from the two sides to play with passion, winning spirit and intelligence. Derbies are all about keeping organisation, composure and concentration."
Form and key players
Statistically, Esteghlal have won 24 Tehran derbies to Persepolis's 18, with the remaining 33 ending all square. And form-wise, too, the boys in blue have reason for optimism, having gone five games unbeaten – conceding just once in the process – to go top of the Pro League, one point clear of Teraktor-Sazi, four above Foolad and five in front of defending champions Sepahan, who have a game in hand. During this prosperous run, striker Arash Borhani became Esteghlal's 90-goal all-time leading scorer
Persepolis, meanwhile, have won two and drawn two of their last four matches to climb to joint-ninth in the 18-team division. Following a forgettable 2011/12 in which they finished just six places off the bottom, the men in red are eager to continue their recent upward scent by emerging victorious in the derby.
Borhani and Farzad Hatemi are expected to spearhead the Esteghlal attack, while Iran goalkeeper Mehdi Rahmati has conceded just 12 goals in 22 outings this season.
Persepolis will charge new signing Karim Ansarifard, who finished 2011/12 as the league's leading marksman with 21 goals for Saipa, with firing them to victory, and though midfield maestro Ali Karimi is likely to miss the showdown due to a foot injury, captain Mehdi Mahdavikia is fit to provide his influence and defence-splitting passes.
When asked to predict the outcome , Ghotbi opted to shake his head: "Both teams have players with the quality and experience to make the difference, so regardless of the result it will be an epic game as usual."

RoadID®, manufactures personal identification apparel that they primarilly market toward the athletic community. I posted about their products at another site and purchased one for Myself shortly thereafter. In My opinion, their products are novel.
The RoadID™, their flagship and aptly named product, takes the unfashionable medical identification bracelet and makes it…er, more fashionable. Read: More likely one would wear it. Beyond aesthetics, the RoadID™ features a curved military-style identification tag affixed to an arguably more comfortable Velcro® band that is available in three sizes: small, medium/large, and extra-large. The identification tag is customizable as would be expected, and can fit up to six lines of text.
I have just described RoadID®'s standard wrist band. They also offer an ankle band made of a more flexible neoprene, and a ShoeID® which laces onto the top of a shoe and comes in a pouch variation to hold other identification data.
For all their products, RoadID™ Interactive is the one that sold Me. It is essentially no different in appearance than their non-interactive products, with one difference: RoadID™ Interactive replaces four of the six customizable lines of text with instructions to call their toll-free number or visit their website. It references the owner's serial and pin number on the back of the identification tag. In calling the toll-free number or visiting the website, emergency personnel would view or hear one's custom Emergency Information Profile.
Just think about that for a minute. Think about the wealth of information one could provide to emergency personnel with a simple, understated Velcro® identification tag:
The RoadID™ Interactive is the one I purchased—$19.99US at the moment—and it comes with one year of hosting for the online profile. After a year, renewal of the emergency information profile is $9.99 US per year. Not bad, in My opinion. I would have expected a year free, thereafter $9.99 US per month.
Equally striking about this product is that RoadID® seems to market it primarily toward the athletic community, namely runners, cyclists, and etc., that might be inclined not to carry identification on their person during those events. Just about anybody can benefit from one of these. When I thought about this, I reviewed all the forms of identification that I typically carry… My Driver's License, until recently, had an old address, still has no telephone number. It really says a whole lot of nothing to uninitiated. Police can surely use it to bring up pertinent data, but what of a medical practicioner? What if I am dead in a ditch somewhere and some passerby is the first to find Me? Who will know I am allergic to penicillin? My Geneva Conventions ID Card says even less without a PIN and card reader, and this is if I even still have My wallet! Who is to say it will not become lost or stolen?
Perhaps I am being a bit paranoid, but $19.99 seemed like a small price to pay for added piece of mind. Moreover, I think it less likely that a identification band such as this would become lost or even stolen in a mugging, whether I run, bike, or otherwise.

International: Muslim academic claims homosexuality can be compatible with Islam
"If you ask them privately, the vast majority of my generation of Muslims are deeply homophobic. I think it is particularly entrenched because so many Muslim societies are rooted in traditional ideas of the family and patriarchy."
On the story of the destruction of Sodom, which appears in both the Koran and the Bible, he said: "It is often said to illustrate God's disapproval of homosexuality. But on closer inspection it is about his disapproval of the rape of young boys. There is a big difference."
De Sondy claims that one Muslim saint was said to have had a gay relationship: "In the 16th-century Punjab, there lived a Sufi [Muslim mystic] saint and poet called Shah Hussain. He fell in love with a Hindu boy. They lived together and are buried in the same tomb. But some people want to rewrite history, saying the boy was in fact a girl."
In May, a survey suggested that UK Muslims have significantly less tolerance for homosexuality than their French and German counterparts.
The poll, part of the the Gallup Coexist Index 2009, found that not one of the 1,001 British Muslims interviewed believed homosexual acts were morally acceptable.
Fifty-eight per cent of the general British public said they thought homosexuality was not morally wrong, compared with 68 per cent of Germans.
French respondents were the most liberal, with 78 per cent of the general public saying it was not morally wrong. According to the survey, the opinions of Christians differed little from the views of the general public.
In comparison to British Muslims, 35 per cent of French Muslims and 19 per cent of German Muslims did not have moral objections to homosexual acts.
The survey also showed that British Muslims hold more conservative opinions towards abortion, viewing pornography, suicide and sex outside marriage than European Muslims, with markedly lower rates of thinking such issues are morally acceptable.

Old Town Man Charged for 2 Maine Bank Robberies
An Old Town man with a history of robbing banks is charged for two more. The suspect in both robberies wore dark clothing, gloves, and a mask.
Penobscot County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Troy Morton says Troy Gay, age 26, is accused of robbing the Corinth branch of Camden National Bank in March, and the Orono branch of Bangor Savings Bank just over a month later. No weapon was displayed in either robbery.
Gay has served time for bank robbery in the past . In 2009, he was convicted of robbing two other banks and was sentenced to 8 years in prison with all but 3 1/2 years suspended.
Police continue to investigate whether Gay was involved with robberies at Key Bank in Ellsworth in February and at Maine Savings Federal Credit Union in April. The suspect in those robberies wore clothing similar to the suspect in the Corinth and Orono robberies.
Gay was in court on Friday and pleaded not guilty.

Project Description
The proposed effort will advance the performance of refractory metals by integration of high temperature coating processes uniquely by means of modeling and experimental verifications in a focused, staged development. The ultimate goal of the proposed study will be to deliver the key enabling coating technology for at least a 400 degrees Celsius (°C) increase of the metal operating temperature from 1200°C to 1600°C.
Project Benefits
This project will employ a new smart coating concept for refractory metal-borosilicide and -aluminide systems in order to provide a 400 °C increase in temperature resistance beyond that of current Ni-based superalloys in materials. Improvements to high-temperature advanced-materials will promote the development of advanced power plant designs that can operate at higher temperatures and pressures, leading to improvements in efficiency and operational flexibility and resulting in lower operating costs.

SCA, the maker of the Tork brand of away-from-home paper products, is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the Xpressnap napkin dispenser system, the one-at-a-time dispenser that cuts paper waste.
One-at-a-time dispensing has stopped billions of napkins from entering the waste stream, as Xpressnap prevents patrons from grabbing fistfuls of unneeded napkins. This sustainability feature translates into savings for restaurant and foodservice operators.
Since 2003, Xpressnap's 100 percent recycled and certified compostable napkins have diverted more than a half-billion pounds of recycled paper from landfills.
"No one wakes up in the morning thinking they need a better napkin dispenser," says John Drengler, vice president, product and marketing for SCA AfH Professional Hygiene North America. "But over the course of a decade, Xpressnap has come to represent Tork's commitment to customer-driven innovation, a showcase for creating products that help our customers reduce costs, drive down labor expenses, and create a better work environment.
"In a restaurant, products like napkin dispensers are conspicuous if they don't perform," Drengler adds. "Xpressnap is a product that helps restaurants improve their image while enhancing the dining experience."
SCA will kick off its 10-year anniversary celebration of Tork Xpressnap during the NRA show at booth No. 1254, where the company will announce the winner of a $25,000 media package designed to enhance the winning company's business and marketing needs.
Throughout the year, Xpressnap's achievements will be celebrated through social media, parties, events, and contests across North America.

Comments about Indoor T-Ball Easy Pack:
I bought this product for our Tot T-Ball program because we needed something safe, yet durable for teaching 3-6 year olds T-Ball. I was VERY happy when I got the box in the mail and opened it to find exactly what I was looking for. The bats are very lightweight and they come in two sizes. The balls are all soft and have extra grips sewn in to make them easier to catch. The tee is a little heavy, but once you have it together it's easy to carry. The bases were included which was great and an added bag to carry everything was fantastic!! Great product for an awesome price!!! Thank you!!

Over the past decade or so, the second-hand games market has been slowly transforming the video games industry. What begun as a niche dominated by specialist stores like the UK's CEX is now a standard retail practice not just in game stores like GameStop and on eBay, but in supermarkets and high-street entertainment retailers. The huge appetite for trade-in is now pushing developers and publishers to offer pre-order bonuses to encourage us to buy games at full price – or to implement longevity features into their games that discourage you from selling them on.
When it emerged last week that Capcom's Resident Evil: The Mercenaries for 3DS does not allow users to delete their save files, the immediate uproar from gamers brought our attitude to the second-hand games market into sharp relief. If we can't trade a game in, or if a publisher is assumed to have done something that devalues it, it's seen as an encroachment of our consumer rights. Resident Evil: The Mercenaries' permanent save file was immediately assumed to be an anti-trade-in measure, and the reaction was caustic.
Capcom has since claimed that the feature had nothing whatsoever to do with preventing trade-ins. "Second-hand sales were not a factor in this development decision," said Capcom Europe in a statement to the press. "The nature of the game invites high levels of replayability, encouraging fans to improve mission scores. The save mechanic ensures that both original and unlocked game content will be available to all users. We hope that all our consumers will be able to enjoy the entirety of the survival-action experiences that the game does offer. "
On Friday, Capcom US boss Christian Svensson addressed the issue in a video interview on the Capcom Unity website, assuring everyone that it would be a one-off. "There was no hidden motive to prevent buying used copies. It's not some secret form of DRM," he said. "It's simply the way we designed the save system to work with the arcade type of gameplay.
"It's fair to say there was never quite the malicious intent the conspiracy theorists out there would have you believe... It's also fair to say in light of the controversy it's generated I don't think you're going to see something like this happening again."
But to many gamers and more than a few retailers, it doesn't seem to have mattered. In Japan, trade-in prices for the title are severely affected by the inability to wipe the previous user's data. In the US, GameStop ordered stores not to accept trade-in copies of The Mercenaries, though the company later backtracked on that decision. In the UK, retailer HMV decided that it will not sell the game second-hand, though more gaming-focused retailers Game and GameStation are selling the game as usual.
The storm, it seems, has not yet passed. Whether or not Capcom intended Mercenaries' one-save-only nature as a deterrent against trading in the game – and it certainly didn't, based on the evidence – that's how it has been interpreted. And it's raising some questions about our attitude to second-hand games. Just what can publishers do to encourage us to buy games first-hand, on the day of release, filtering the money back to them and the developer rather than into the pockets of a retailer? What measures are they taking, and are they fair to us?
EA's Project Ten Dollar is perhaps the most visible example of a publisher taking a stand against trade-ins. Beginning as a one-use code offering access to things like Mass Effect's Cerberus network and a few Bad Company 2 freebies, Project Ten Dollar soon developed into a way for EA to monetise its online multiplayer offerings in EA Sports games, charging players who bought the game second-hand a $10 fee for an EA Online Pass that allows them to access online play and leaderboards, amongst other things.
Project Ten Dollar didn't exactly get brilliant press when it was announced. It was regarded as a way of punishing people who buy second-hand, restricting content to those who pay a premium - even though EA has always gone to great pains to explain the Onilne Pass well and be transparent about how it works and why it was introduced.
By contrast, Activision has emphasised that it will never charge for multiplayer, wherever you buy a game. Call of Duty Elite, announced just a few months ago, is also an incentive programme – although unlike the EA Online Pass, Activision isn't charging for multiplayer features, but for extra analysis, social features, competitions and skill vids. This isn't a direct attack on second-hand, but a more long-term way of making money out of multiplayer; it's unlikely that first-hand buyers will get any free Elite access.

Pattern-on-Pattern Inspiration: Stripes & Florals
The combination of graphic stripes with elegant florals can be striking and beautiful if done properly. While rarely subtle or calm, the resulting combination can energize a room and add an interesting visual effect!
- These bold charcoal stripes create a huge amount of drama juxtaposed with a large, ornate and vintage-inspired floral graphic. With muted colors and black accents, this room is one of my favorites. Via House to Home.
- Seen on Moco Loco, Missoni's Bouquet Collection from 2010 showcased these amazing striped outdoor loungers contrasted with beautiful floral pillows. The Colors and patterns together, in a myriad of colors, are beautiful!
- This muted grey stripe, almost a seersucker, is sophisticated and calming in the bedroom. With two pillows in a bold, dark, small floral pattern are added, the whole look becomes much more dramatic. Seen on CasaSugar.
- The combination of red and teal stripes is bold in it's own right, but when you add a splash of floral, like in this image from Desire to Inspire, it amps up the volume a few ticks!
- Perhaps the boldest examples comes from UK Home Daily Mail. Bright heavy floral wallpaper contrasts vivid multi-width stripes for an effect that is not for the faint of heart!

Qt usually takes the boring memory allocation and deallocation from you, either through its implicitly shared containers, or with QObject's parent child relationship model. But every once in a while, we need to allocate something on the heap, and then the stress starts - where do we delete it, and how do we make sure to not leak the memory? To fix this problem, QScopedPointer was born. It will delete the object it is pointing to automatically when it goes out of scope.

Toyota RAV4's from between 2006 and 2011 are affected by the recall.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Toyota announced the recall Wednesday of some 778,000 vehicles in the United States due to a suspension problem that could cause crashes.
The recall comprises roughly 760,000 Toyota RAV4's from model years 2006 to 2011, as well as about 18,000 Lexus HS 250h's from 2010.
Toyota said that if the nuts on the rear suspension arms of these vehicles aren't tightened properly during a wheel alignment service, the arms may come loose or separate.
Toyota (TM) spokesman Brian Lyons said that so far in the United States, there have been "nine crashes and three minor injuries alleged to be related to this condition."
In addition to the United States, some 99,000 RAV4's and 1,000 HS 250h's in Canada are being recalled, though no other markets are involved, Lyons said.
The affected drivers may notice a strange noise coming from the rear of their vehicles, Toyota said. The company said it's "preparing the remedy" for the problem, to be performed by dealers at no charge, and will provide further information for car owners by mail.
In June, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into potential rear suspension failure in an estimated 460,000 RAV4's from between 2006 and 2008.
A NHTSA spokeswoman said the agency "is in contact with Toyota regarding its recall and urges consumers to have their vehicles serviced promptly."
"The agency's investigation remains open pending review of documentation from the manufacturer," the spokeswoman added.
Lyons said Toyota's own investigation preceded the NHTSA probe.

The Spanish Armada, 1588
The rivalry between Spain and England grew throughout the late sixteenth century. In the 1570s and 1580s, Sir Francis Drake led English attacks on Spanish vessels and raided Spanish settlements in the Americas. In 1588, Spain's King Philip II ordered a naval invasion of England. Philip's Spanish Armada of 124 ships, 27,000 men, and 1,100 guns departed from Lisbon on May 30, 1588. England meanwhile, led by Queen Elizabeth I, readied a counterforce of 197 vessels, 16,000 men, and 2,000 guns. The Spanish fleet entered the English Channel on July 30, and the two sides engaged in skirmishes for the next few days as the Spanish moved north. On August 8, the fighting culminated in the Battle of Gravelines, in which the English navy decisively defeated the Armada. What remained of the badly damaged Spanish fleet returned to Spain by sailing up through the North Sea, around the British Isles, and into the Atlantic.
Such imperial rivalries in Europe greatly influenced how Europeans perceived and interacted with the Americas and the native peoples. Whether the Europeans sought territory, gold, souls, or national pride, the Americas became a new arena for the ongoing battles for dominance in Europe that were now spreading around the globe.
This map was created in 1590 to accompany A Discourse Concerninge the Spanishe Fleete Invadinge Englande in the Yeare 1588, by Petruccio Ubaldini. The English artist, Robert Adams, provided ten illustrations showing the positions of the two fleets and their actions in July and August. Here, the English, on the left, face the assembled Spanish ships, on the right, in the English Channel.

In case you weren't already spending enough time and money shopping online, designer-vintage emporium Elvira Vintage is here to take your e-commerce addiction to the next level. Yes, the vintage mecca and birth child of Tori Steinberg and Sophie Scrimgeour is about to go digital, as the pair set their sights on becoming the next Net-A-Porter.
The duo, who met in their teens and both studied fashion design at Central Saint Martins, scour the globe for one-off vintage finds. A London pop-up has been offering locals the chance to shop their well-edited selection, and now, thanks to the launch of their e-commerce site, everyone can get their mitts on a spot of vintage Valentino.
Elvira Vintage's carefully edited collection aims to complement present trends and work with contemporary wardrobes. Speaking out about the digital direction, Steinberg reveals, "Visually, every product is presented in a way that shows our viewer how they can blend vintage pieces into the average high-street-heavy wardrobe." She adds, "Each piece has a story and has been discovered with a careful eye." So, between this and Net-A-Porter, consider your 4 p.m. slump sorted. (Vogue)

is it paypal only? I placed an order today only to discover they didn't take credit cards or debit cards, paypal only. Most annoying. I can deposit into paypal but it's a nuisance and I haven't used it in a couple years.
Funny that I was ready to start a thread to ask about these hops. Has anybody used these yet? I thought about picking a pound up. In the description that I read, they refer to these hops as "the new IT hops." I'm holding off until the online shop I use gets another bulk hop of sort that I want back in stock. I am slightly worried if I wait, that I might miss out.

FWIW, Geneon has spoken of the movie quite proudly (even hinting at a potential Heaven's Feel adaptation from the same crew), so I doubt the form it took is far from what they asked for.

I still think the technical aspects are pretty decent overall, but there are definite signs of cost-cutting, and the direction lacks imagination.

If it wasn't only for the animation drop whatsoever, people wouldn't be so critical about that movie.
I really don't want to drag it on, but I guess my initial post regarding UBW should be enough.
Tl;dr: UBW suffers a lot of ridiculous execution and transitions, even within the actions. The most deplorable scene is paradoxaly EMIYA scene, because the camera just couldn't give a break, we got silly moves (I must reminds you that Shirou is a frigging kendoka, and yet moves are just plain), and unexplained choices (like archer wielding... 2 pink glass swords (?!)?
Don't get me started with Gilgamesh scenes, and his gates of babylon, it would be of the same category of rant.

watching UBW again.
this time be pessimistic
notice many flaw
but still awesome overall
probably because i am never playing the LN before.
probably that one that make deen overhated. because they anime is not what people who play/read original expected.
but if you a people that never play/read original source. the pretty much good studio. not awesome or best. but good or average at best

Another thing I've noted is that they handle the BGMs somewhat poorly. I mean sure the OPs/EDs were very good (Fate/Stay Night, Higurashi, Umineko all had amazing ones), but the music in the episodes left much to be desired. Higurashi's anime soundtrack was largely generic horror stuff, and frequently recycled from time to time. It wasn't until Rei where they actually had usable BGM that suits the mood.
F/SN had the same issue as well, except maybe that one battle theme. According to many people, they really could have used more of the VN's good music. From the little I've played of the VN, I'd agree.
Umineko actually bothered to use the game sound track, but used it in a largely meh fashion. VN users complained about overuse of this song, and after being informed I had to agree! Why?
It was only used effectively about once or twice, and those two were the best episodes of the series. Music can help invoke emotion, and a lot of the moments near the end SHOULD have been tense but didn't because the BGMs used were too nondescript.
They also remixed one of the most awesome BGMs and... didn't use it. What?
And of course, the Fate/stay night movie compilation of random scenes pretending to be a movie also had a poor use of music. Yes, the individual tracks are great, but there's too much periods of dead silence which made it strangely boring. Yes, you can have a great soundtrack but it just doesn't work when you don't time it right.

Yep, it's a case where great music can be ruined with poor use. They seemed to have used Kenji Kawai a bit and he usually does great stuff. Which makes it more disappointing in many cases.

BGM isn't really a Deen issue but is actually the domain of the composer (creates the music), music director (ensures that the composed music fits the director's specifications), and director (plans the music and its use).
IMO, Chiaki Kon has never used music well (i.e. Otome Youkai Zakuro was probably her best series, but implementation of BGM was a weak point), so Higurashi and Umineko may suffer from that as a result.

I think Seitokai no ichizon is my favourite Studio DEEN anime.
With all this Higurashi and BGM talk, you guys seem to forget an anime which Studio DEEN has lots of fun working with.
Do you know those animes which are fun to make? Animes that most studios enjoy making, basically. Gainax has FLCL, JC Staff has Azumanga Daioh, Ookami-san and various others, KyoAni has Lucky Star and Studio DEEN has Seitokai no Ichizon.
To me, Seitokai no Ichizon feels like an anime where Studio DEEN does it with pure love. The animation is so natural and well done with low budget that only a studio that loves its anime can do that. It's not as detailed as KyoAni's works, but it's still smooth and it fits well with the story.
And never have i seen a male harem character that i liked for the first time. Ken Sugisaki might be a horny otaku, but he's actually a horny otaku with a heart who in the end of day only wants the girls to be happy and proud of who they are. I like that type character, a guy who might be weird, but is actually good at heart and wants the people close to him to be happy.
And the pop culture references work! They just work. Unlike some animes that references and parodies stuff for no reason, the pop culture references work naturally and flows well with the characters. it reminds me of Spaced where the pop culture references corresponds well with the situation, and in this case it does well too.
I'm pretty sure i might get criticised by higurashi or Fate/Stay Night fans because i prefer Seitokai no Ichizon as my favourite DEEN anime, but hey it's my opinion and if i like a slice of life anime over a horror anime featuring yanderes, then it's my right to do so!

I tend to be a bit partial in regards to DEEN because my mind straight away pops to Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal (imho single greatest anime of all time). Its probably why stuff like UBW movie stings because they are capable of so much more (VN just makes it a whole lot worse).

The number of adaptations they have failed are much more numerous, just that F/SN and the when they cry franchise are the most noteworthy, considering their popularity, yet atrocious adaptation.
When you got adaptations like Getbackers (turning the whole deal into a fujoshi bait) and Yami to Boshi to Hon (complete opposite: yuri festival), I would rather ask what their scripters are thinking at times.
But the vast majority of their productions suffer from average/sub-par budget and poor transitions. Even now, they manage to be quite dubious with stuff like Dragon Crisis in that department (even Zombie has glaring issues shared with its predecessors).
As much as I loved Seitokai no Ichizon, it doesn't excuse how they arguably used almost every tricks to save budget, which would have attracted the wrath of a whole fandom if it was for a series of another genre.

bare i mind that i am "casual" anime fan. not like you "technical" anime fan. i am watching anime mainly for fun. i tend to chose 12 ep anime for new season while the longer one i kept it for later. usually i dont care however animating it. as long it interesting i pick it.
one of nice example of budget anime yet fun to watch is hetalia. pretty much only 5 minute and average animation. but that enough to keep me entertain (well for 5 minute anyway so it probably not big deal)

You seem to assume I do not watch for fun, which I actually do. If a series doesn't entertain me (or enthrall me with other emotions, like suspense and whatnot), I would hardly follow it.
Suffice to say, nothing stop you from being slightly critical and neutral: I have a lot of series I've liked, but that doesn't mean I overlook their flaws, and inversely, there are shows I disliked to no end but can't deny their good points.
That said, there are flaws that just impair such entertainment. You might overlook them, but I doubt people all do the same, and they don't need to be "technical". If I was so technical, you would hardly see me watching Madoka for instance (hell, I would have stopped at the first episode of Higurashi... the first season is probably one of their cheapest stuff ever).
There is no "perfect" anime series of course, but that doesn't mean you can't critique the series accordingly.
Defining a good series is always difficult, but I see no reason not to give credits and rotten tomatoes to the studio, regardless if you liked/disliked the show.
