Watson extends Eastbourne run
Heather Watson recovered from a set down to beat sixth seed Flavia Pennetta as the British number one stormed through to the Aegon International quarter-finals in Eastbourne.
The 22-year-old lost a tight opening set on a tie-break but showed great powers of recovery to turn the match on its head.
With Wimbledon on the horizon, Watson will be pleased to advance into a quarter-final following her 6-7 (8/6) 6-4 6-2 win.
She is the last Brit in the competition following Johanna Konta's loss to Camila Giorgi.
Unlike Watson, Konta started well in her Anglo-Italian battle but, after taking the first set, she slipped to a 1-6 7-5 7-5 defeat.
Top seed Richard Gasquet advanced into the men's last eight at the expense of Bernard Tomic.
The Frenchman, seeded 13th for Wimbledon, recorded a 6-4 3-6 6-3 success and will face Martin Klizan of Slovakia next.
Klizan beat American Donald Young in their second-round tussle, claiming a 7-6 (7/4) 6-4 victory.
Gasquet's compatriot Edouard Roger-Vasselin also progressed, beating Jarkko Nieminen 6-2 7-6 (7/4), to set up a clash against Denis Istomin.
Feliciano Lopez was pushed by German Tobias Kamke before the third seed came through to win 7-6 (12/10) 7-5.
The Spaniard now faces Jeremy Chardy in the quarter-finals following his 6-4 7-5 win over Carlos Berlocq.
Sixth seed Gilles Simon lost in straight sets in an all-French second-round affair as Julien Benneteau recorded a 6-3 6-4 win.
Benneteau will next face Sam Querrey, whose opponent Victor Estrella-Burgos was forced to retire whilst a set down to the American.
In the women's singles, Watson will next face a tough examination against second seed Petra Kvitova after the Czech beat Varvara Lepchenko 6-1 6-4.
Danish eighth seed Caroline Wozniacki eased to a 6-3 6-3 win over Sloane Stephens to set up a quarter-final clash against Konta's conqueror Giorgi.
German fifth seed Angelique Kerber also made it through to the last eight, despite dropping a set to Alize Cornet and being pushed all the way in the decider before emerging a 7-5 1-6 7-6 (7/3) victor.
Ekaterina Makarova will be waiting for Kerber in the next round after progressing with a 6-3 6-3 win over fellow Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
In an all-American quarter-final, Lauren Davis will take on Madison Keys.
Davis beat Daniela Hantuchova 6-3 6-3, with countrywoman Keys coming out on top against Elena Vesnina 7-5 7-6 (11/9).

I've been catching up recently with episodes of A Game of Thrones (can't wait to go to Comic Con now, since Arb informed me that GRRM was going to be there on the Game of Thrones panel) which seems to be getting better and better every week as the pacing kicks in.
It makes me wonder about the role of politics in MMOs. And how interesting it might be to play a more strategic and political game.
Probably EVE is the strongest implementation of this type of concept, and the player politics there sprang up from within the setting. Partly because the game allows players/ corps to effectively claim and try to hold areas of space, so there is something worth fighting over. Without this sort of stake, the politics is going to feel fairly pointless.
And ultimately, in a MMO, the role any individual player is going to play is far more likely to be that of a grunt than of a kingmaker, unless you keep the size of the game small and have tight-knit, active factions.
So I think politics in an MMO is awesome for flavour, and factions have a lot more potential than most designers give them credit for. But ultimately the most fun sorts of politics for games are played out on a smaller canvas, where individuals feel that they matter.
Note: This is not to say I wouldn't jump for an Amber MMO, because that would be crazy fun … but not for Westeros.

- Another Great Product from the C-Gang Review by Peter
Bought two of these for my nipple piercings. Although not inexpensive, they look infinitely better than the SS Barbells they replaced and for me are worth the money. Quality is top notch and the detail of having one bead permanently affixed is a nice plus. Customer Service was better than outstanding. Delivery as promised. I am one very happy customer. Thanks to Russ and the team.

I purchased this barbell to replace another one that I wear constantly in the top of my ear. When I received the new barbell from the Chain Gang, I realized it was such a higher quality barbell that the one that I had thought was so wonderful! The barbell from the Chain Gang was heavier, better built, and just fit better on my head where one of the balls lay. Shipping was speedy. I really am totally pleased and would recommend products and customer service with the Chain Gang! Thank You, Tina

Central to many of today's luxurious spa-inspired baths, the free-standing tub has replaced obtuse Jacuzzis and sunken bathtubs that were popular decades ago.
Whether chic and streamlined or claw footed and antique, free-standing tubs can bring a sense of sophistication and relaxation to bathrooms both large and small. Though a free-standing tub displayed in the center of a room creates a focal point in your bathroom, they're just as captivating when set against a window or angled across a corner.
The free-standing tubs found on EveryBathtub.com come in a wide range of sizes and shapes – one of which is sure to complement the decor and size of your bathroom.

With a classic clawfoot freestanding tub, it's easy to add a vintage feel to any bathroom.

I'm trying to hide my Dragcave Guide from Google... we'll see how that goes xD Other than that... not much else is new. I'm going to try to keep the Guide secret from now on... Hopefully it will cut back on the emails I keep getting about it >.<
I think it's time I actually started working on my poor website... you know, hatching those adoptables that have been stagnant for well over a year and stuff? xD *whistles innocently*
Okay, so it's been forever since I updated! I just thought I'd post to say that I'm still brainstorming ideas for the site AND I'd like to wish it a happy first birthday as of the 8th! Can you believe it's already been around for a year? Here's to many years to come!! :D
I've just added a Comics Section!! Right now it just houses all of my Neopets comics and an older Harry Potter Collaboration comic that I did with three friends.
Total revamp for the Fanart section!! I also uploaded all of Ainad's fanart (that's like.. over 115 of them!). You can now browse the fanart by year, artist, or subject. Sweet, huh? I also added some pixel art up for 2003, 2004, and 2005 :) And, ALL of Ainad's images have finally been uploaded spanning from 2003 to 2006. Go have a look!
I changed around this main page a little!! Mainly moving my Boingdragon Counter outside of the blog and adding in a link for the Site Map. I also added some fanarts (therefore creating a bunch of Character Fanart pages o___O) So yeah, that's what we've got for today!
(it may be 1:28... I'm not sure whether daylight savings happens at midnight or one! Oi, so confusing!!) Anyways, the Tutorials Page is now up! There are only two of them on it now, but I'll be adding the other few probably sometime this week :) Unfortunately, the older ones are all images so they may be a little bit slower to load :(
I am pleased to announce that the Dolls Section of the site is finally up and running!! I've had them drawn forever, I just needed to get the page coded xD There aren't any clothes yet... but we have some naked people and scribbly backgrounds!! Give me suggestions for cool clothes for them, okay? xD
I just added six characters to the Characters page!! That means Grover, Igan, Lian, Sirius, Tiri, and Zy are all up now! I'm only still missing a few (plus some who I've never drawn e___e) so we'll see how that goes. My goal now is to make them all a pixel size-chart! omg that'll take forever!! :D
Okay, I've officially really come a long way with site updates!! So many that I keep forgetting to include them written here, so I forget about them lawl. Anyways, the main ones are that I've added a "Freebies" page and I've fixed up a lot of the character pages - a few of them (Ainad, Aire, and Drev) have a lot of their stories up. Putting up stories and the rest of my fanfiction is really proving to be a bugger just because I have to format all of them to HTML :( Of course that probably means I'll miss italics and blah blah. It's a slow process, but we're getting there!!
Okay, I made quick little pages for the pets that I had in my Characters dropdown!! It's not much, but that should mean that there won't be any more broken links on the entire site!!! Of course, if you do notice one, please let me know! xD
Started teaching myself PHP :) You can see it on most of the basic pages now - I've also added several new pages with general content-type stuff. Doesn't it look sweet?? I'll keep working on it and hopefully get all of the gruesome details ironed out within the next few days :)
OKAY, while I get things sorted out, I'll probably be figuring out a new layout for my pages with the help of a friend of mine who actually understands PHP. (Rose is a total n00b on that subject...). If pages don't work or end up looking funny for a while, that's why... don't freak out, I'll fix it eventually :)
I added the link to my blog right above this text box and also made a lot of changes to the Art Gallery part of the site. I was having some trouble since Coppermine seems to like re-naming the file path of every image in an album once you upload a new one... so I'll just put them in albums by date and try to keep them organized the best I can x) I've also done a lot of work to Lani's Page and blog. Like my new "petpage" format? ;)
Whew... it's about time I started really working on the site again! Anyways, I now have a blog here for more personal/fun entries, I guess? I'll probably still leave this space for normal updates x) The new blogs will also be the center to pages for certain characters! I've got a start with Brenda's, observe... Pretty sweet, huh??
I've decided to bump the Evolving Adoptables to once a season on the Equinox or first day of a season... so the current eggs will evolve on December 21 :) I also added a few characters to that page and added a few Adoptables. w00t! JOIN THE FORUM!! :D
Okay, so I haven't updated anything in a long time :( I also realized that I've been forgetting to hatch the Evolving Adopts!! AIIIIEE! I'll fix that tonight by back-evolving all of them and starting the new set. BUT I'm going to set my PDA to remind me to evolve them every month so this shouldn't happen again :) I 'sploded the forums and made new ones. Check it out! And omg I finally figured out how to make emails xD Aiiiiieeeee!
Yay Un-birthday :D I've added an Adoptables page with Eyries and OMGDOGSQUIRRELSOMG! I have Brenda's and Simon's first set done, I just need to Neofy and non-Neofy them to add them to the page... Oi, it's kind of a headache. Darn Neo for not allowing normal links...
I've added a gallery that I am currently working on... I'd like to have all of my pictures up there so that the thumbnails on my other pages will just link to that picture in the gallery! Unfortunately, I think the picture's address might change as I upload other things... so we'll try it out and see what happens. I have a loooot more to go on uploads, though. I haven't even touched all of the Neopets art :x
I finished a few art pages for today (at least the thumbnails!) and I've got the "art" side of Albert's stuff at least semi-functional. Writing side still needs something there, but at least we have part of it!! Maybe the I can do a little more tomorrow, too. I also threw the "Content" and "Other" pages on the default layout so they aren't just raw HTML anymore :)
I finished an Albert Flash (seen on DA) and now have him guarding the Art/Stories Page! Woot woot! The following links from Albert aren't working yet, but I'll see if I can't get them up in study breaks :)
More changes to the map! Just two more to zoom in, but I'm still missing names. I think what I might just do is name them all something lame like "Frozen Islands" and then name them in depth from there? Anyways, that's what we have so far xD I've also added the sound to Aire's page on the Character Database! Will add more once she's back upstairs with her mic x)
Made a few changes to the map... nothing supermajor, I just decided that I should probably have the bullets mean general places, and then specify them in the text box! Of course this means I won't put cute little faces next to the buttons anymore :( If anyone has an idea of how I can use the face buttons again, just let me know xD Oh, and it has a background now :D I'll need a place for Zy's space station/ship/moon/ all three! I'm also working on adding "pronunciations" to each of the character pages on the database x) Ainad's is first :o
Brenda has been added to the Character Directory :D We've also dolled up the "World" page with a OMGINTERACTIVEMAP (Ainad's is the only one working right now ^^;) and a link to the Evolving Adoptables kept there and handy! I've noticed that most random people find my site looking for "neopets egg adoptables" so... xD *better keep it visible!*
I've changed the top toolbar and content page layout!! We now have a cute Rose sidebar! :D Also, Cazal has been added to the Character Directory :)
Errr xO This year will probably be pretty taxing on me... school's already making me super nervous and it's only my second day! D: But anyways, I've now got Alan, Aire, Almor, and Bennie on the Character Database. I also have a nicer sidebar image all drawn up - all I have to do is find the time to color it... xD; So yeah. That's all for tonight...
Been keeping way busy with the RA check-ins and stuff... BUT I did manage to add the "About" page (and make a... basic page layout? I dunno, it'll probably change). I also added a start on the Characters page with the Flash I had in mind xD It's kind of like a Pokedex (or how I envisioned one) and it will be able to cycle through each of my characters, supplying basic information on them and links to their "Stuff". So far it's just Ainad and it's just her stats and links to her Petpage, Webpage (will put that up... eventually) and her ref. Any suggestions on what I should include in that and whatnot, just let me know! I've also changed the homepage icon to my profile - because I like it better :o
Added a new set of emotes for the forum, introducing Cerebe the owl - who's like... someone involved in my Magi Order x) (will be explained eventually....ish) Also added a chat using Gabbly. It's pretty simple for now, but I'll pretty it up later... or something :o
OMG IT WORKS!!! I never would have got it if Frontpage hadn't been so graciously donated to me by one of my fellow RAs xD MY SITE IS SO COMING ALONNNNG! I will be working on the side links now as they are all kind of... just linking to either a blank or 404 page right now. I'm also working on pixel dolls (which I will probably upload to DA later on tonight... along with my pretty new working blog!!!11 But yes. It works. I am now a happy squirrel :)

2007: Frederick H. Bealefeld III
Where he came from: Baltimore Deputy commissioner - operations Bealefeld was well-known after being a very visible deputy commissioner, and had built community support and wanted the job. He had joined the agency at age 18, and worked various units and commanded the Southern District. But Mayor Sheila Dixon, amid a soaring homicide rate, was pressed to hire an outsider. Charles Ramsey, the former chief in Washington, D.C., had signed a contract before Dixon at the last minute bucked her advisers, rescinding Ramsey's deal and offering Bealefeld the job. Bealefeld oversaw steep crime declines, with homicides dipping below 200 to give the city its lowest murder rate since the late 1980s, and reversed zero tolerance policies of his predecessors.

effort to get the canoe above the water but others hung on it ia such a way that the attempt was fruitless it being very rough and the ca noe altogether at the mercy of the waves sometimes turning

Sublime is a comprehensive collection of current Japanese architecture, interiors, and products that showcases and explores the country‰ۡóÁÌ_́ÌÎ_̴Ìös uniquely elegant design aesthetic. After the visual excesses of the early new millennium, there is now a distinct demand for clear and rational, yet forward-thinking, design‰ۡóÁÌ_́ÌÎÌ_?ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ?a style in which the Japanese have specialized for hundreds of years. Today, architects and other creatives from Japan are masters at designing striking, virtually transcendent work that seamlessly melds aesthetics, functionality, and quality. With its opulent visuals and insightful texts by Andrej Kupetz and Shonquis Moreno, the book examines this distinctive talent for combining the rational and traditional with the cutting-edge in a way that seems effortless and even playful.
After the visual excesses of the first decade of the new millennium, there now appears to be a distinct demand for clear and rational, yet forward-thinking, design. Seamlessly melding aesthetics, functionality, and quality while simultaneously avoiding excess has been a foundation of Japanese handicraft for hundreds of years. Creatives from Japan are masters at skillfully combining rational functionality with a contemporary sense of design in a way that seems effortless andÌ_åÇÌÎÌ__even playful.
Sublime is a comprehensive collection of the relevant trends in Japanese design that reveals the country‰ۡóÁÌ_́ÌÎ_̴Ìös overall design aesthetic. The book presents architecture, interiors, and products that are created with an approach that is both rational and visionary. The results of this striking combination often appear futuristic and somehow transcendent. Japanese architecture is adept at bringing inner and outer areas of buildings together harmoniously. Even the smallest rooms can seem surprisingly spacious.
Sublime explores the impact of the interplay between old-style handicraft and modern technology as well as traditional and high-tech materials on Japanese design. It features work by established names such as Naoto Fukasawa, Tokujin Yoshioka, Kengo Kuma, and Nendo, and introduces talent from a new generation that has found its own design style somewhere between a traditional Japanese approach and modern or post-modern influences.
As the book clearly shows, a Japanese design philosophy based on local traditions has not only survived a general trend toward Westernization, but it is also being translated into outstanding examples of contemporary visual culture around the world.

The above proof can't work, because f_xy is not always equal to f_yx. You need an additional assumption. For example, if f_xy and f_yx are both continuous functions in an open set, then f_xy=f_yx is true on the set (weaker assumptions are possible).
The usual proof considers the limit as both h and k go to zero of f(a+h,b+h) -f(a,b+h)-f(a+h,b)+f(a,b), and shows that this limit is equal to both f_xy(a,b) and f_yx(a,b). It uses the assumption various partial derivatives are continuous, and the mean value theorem.
Does someone have a link with instructions on how to include subscripts, deltas, and other nice math notation in one's reply? I could write out a proof of f_xy=f_yx (assuming continuity of the derivatives) if I knew how to do that.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 27, 2013) – After two weeks of practice and training, the ETSU volleyball team wrapped up the preseason with a Blue/Gold scrimmage Tuesday night inside Brooks Gym.
Prior to the scrimmage, fans met the players and coaches at a free cookout, and then were given an opportunity to see the reigning Atlantic Sun Conference champions in action for the first time in 2013.
"A lot of schools across the country are holding these types of events before the season starts, and I thought this was a great opportunity for us to give the fans a sneak peek of our 2013 team," said Devine following the scrimmage. "This was a fun event and a win-win for everybody. Hopefully we can build on this in the years ahead and gain support as the season progresses."
During the event, head coach Lindsey Devine talked about rules and game play, while also giving the fans opportunity to win prizes by answering trivia questions and participating in on-court activities.
As far as the season goes, the team has worked hard throughout the preseason and the Bucs are ready to build off their championship campaign from a year ago.
"We have talked as a group and this team knows they have the opportunity to do some great things again this year," said Devine. "The team has done a tremendous job staying focused during the last two weeks and this is the strongest group I have had during my 11 years at ETSU. They are determined to work hard and have another successful season."
The 2013 season opens Friday afternoon when ETSU takes on Southern Conference foe UNC Greensboro in the Deacon Classic. Game time is set for 4:30 p.m.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Four members of the MIT rifle squad were recently named to the Mid-Atlantic Conference All-Academic Team. Seniors Emily Houston and Jennifer Paek, junior Justine Li, and sophomore Nigel Kojimoto all earned the honor for their outstanding efforts on the range and in the classroom. The quartet was the driving force in a stellar season for the Cardinal and Gray, which finished 14-3 in smallbore and 14-3 in air rifle.
Houston, who hails from Burke, Va., and Kojimoto, of Honolulu, Hawaii, led the Engineers on numerous occasions. Among the highlights, the duo paced MIT in two consecutive midseason wins over Massachusetts Maritime Academy and Virginia Military Institute.
Paek, of Los Angeles, Calif., and Li, of Timonium, Md., were often close behind. Both helped MIT almost pull off a sweep of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in the last regular-season match. The Engineers won in smallbore, while coming up three points shy in air rifle.
The MAC All-Academic Team is determined using the following
- The top 20 student-athletes that attain the highest combined overall grade point average multiplied by 190 and added to the highest final smallbore or air rifle average will determine the final ranking.
- The smallbore or air rifle averages must be computed from at least five separate matches.

LEOMINSTER -- The city's Small Business Development Coordinator/Event Planner Sandie Cataldo is organizing a "Tax-Free February" for merchants to stimulate sales during the long winter.
Mayor Dean Mazzarella is also proposing a longer-term program similar to the popular Market Basket 4 percent discount.
"On that note, or that line, we are going to do Tax-Free February, where the business -- it can be service-based business, product-based business -- will take the 6.25 percent off the final price," Cataldo said. "They are absorbing the price because they still have to pay the tax."
February is normally a slow sales time, with only Valentine's Day to stimulate sales, so reducing prices 6.26 percent could attract customers, Cataldo said.
"We're going to give it a try this year," she said.
Each store will have the flexibility to set its own rules for shoppers taking part in the discount, Cataldo said.
A list of participating stores is expected to be ready by the end of next week she said.
"I feel like the Tax-Free February is a good start and if anybody wants to continue the 4 percent the rest of the year, we can transition into it," Cataldo said.
Mazzarella stopped at Market Basket recently and was surprised when the cashier stopped to circle his 4 percent savings on the receipt with a yellow highlighter.
He appeared at the Small Business Association Wednesday touting Market Basket's 4 percent discount.
It's the type of savings that can add up quickly for a consumer, especially for services such as plumbers and electricians or even small shop owners, Mazzarella said.
He urged small-business owners to consider mirroring Market Basket and notify Cataldo while publicity is high so she can develop a marketing program around the discount.
"We as a city ought to try to piggyback on that," he said afterward. "I just think those are the kinds of things consumers are looking for now; they are looking for a break."
A program like that could help the city develop a reputation as a retail mecca, Mazzarella said.

"The result of almost a year of development by NVIDIA, Valve and other game developers, the new GeForce R310 drivers are designed to give GeForce customers the best possible Linux-based PC gaming experience - and showcase the enormous potential of the world's biggest open-source operating system." Like I said: something is happening here. No, not all problems will be solved overnight - but something is happening here, and you have to start somewhere. The fact that several gaming companies and NVIDIA are working together on this is a very clear sign that commitments have been made.

"Protecting the integrity" by allowing some closed blobs to use dma-buf but not nvidia? Yes, all the SoC drivers that use dma-buf are closed. Sure they have a GPL component in the kernel, which is how they're allowed to use dma-buf, but that component won't do you much without the userspace blobs.
So there's no "protecting integrity" or "making a moral stance" or anything by keeping Nvidia out. It's that some vendors have managed to isolate just enough of their driver into a GPL component, while Nvidia can't because of how their driver is put together.
Also, the first two versions of dma-buf did not have those symbols exported as gpl-only: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2012-October/029107...

Car Review
2013 Lexus GX 460: New Car Review
The 2013 Lexus GX 460 is an analog girl in a digital world. Based on the same body-on-frame platform that underpins Toyota's 4Runner and FJ Cruiser SUVs, the GX 460 prioritizes off-road performance, just as every SUV used to do. Featuring tough, trucklike construction and standard 4-wheel drive with a dual-range transfer case, the GX is a go-anywhere vehicle. But that puts it in stark contrast to modern luxury SUVs, which generally employ unibody platforms optimized for shopping malls and suburban driveways.
Of course, Lexus has made sure the GX feels at home in civilization, too. Thanks to a soft suspension, a slew of fancy features and standard 3-row seating, the GX can certainly play the part of a high-end family vehicle. We're surprised Lexus didn't use richer interior materials in this expensive SUV, but the mellifluous V8 engine provides some consolation.
Interested in the 2013 Lexus GX 460? Here's what you need to know. ...
What's New for 2013
The GX 460 is unchanged for 2013.
What We Like
Off-road-ready hardware; compliant ride; standard 3-row seating; plenty of luxury and technology features
What We Don't
Uncomfortable second- and third-row seats; poor on-road handling; unremarkable interior quality; low fuel economy
How Much?
Fuel Economy
The rear-drive-based GX 460 comes with standard dual-range 4-wheel drive and a 4.6-liter V8 engine rated at 301 horsepower and 329 lb-ft of torque.
Fuel economy is a predictably underwhelming 15 mile per gallon city/20 mpg hwy.
Options and Standard Features
The 2013 Lexus GX 460 comes in two trim levels: base and Premium. Both trims feature a power-folding third-row seat.
The base GX 460 ($54,690) includes 18-inch alloy wheels, rain-sensing wipers, a sunroof, keyless entry with push-button ignition, wood grain interior trim, a power tilt-telescopic steering wheel, 10-way power front seats with heating and cooling functions, leather upholstery, driver memory functions, electroluminescent gauges, a rearview camera, a trip computer with a 4.2-in display, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth and a 9-speaker audio system with a 6-CD changer, satellite radio and iPod/USB connectivity.
The Premium ($59,485) adds niceties such as high-gloss 18-in alloys, adaptive xenon headlights, power-folding exterior mirrors, semi-aniline perforated leather upholstery, heated second-row seats, tri-zone climate control with a smog sensor and a heated steering wheel with wood inserts.
Some of the Premium's features are optional on the base GX 460. Optional on both models are a 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system and a hard-drive-based navigation system that features Lexus Enform, which lets you either plan trips from home using a Lexus-exclusive online search called eDestination or leverage your smartphone for this purpose with the downloadable Enform mobile app. The navigation system gets a touchscreen interface instead of the Remote Touch mouse-like controller offered in most other Lexus models.
The Premium gets a few exclusive options, including dynamic cruise control, crawl control for better off-road performance and a front-view camera system that uses two cameras (one in the grille and one in the passenger-side mirror housing) to aid front and side visibility when parking.
In usability testing, we found that the GX's standard third-row seat is mounted low, so longer-legged passengers will likely be resting their chins on their knees. The second row isn't particularly supportive or comfortable, either. If you plan to use more than two rows regularly, we recommend purpose-built people-carriers such as minivans or the Ford Flex with EcoBoost.
Cargo capacity in the GX measures just 11.6 cu ft behind the third-row seat. Power-fold that seat into the floor and you've got a more reasonable 36.5 cu ft. With the second-row seat backs folded down, the GX can haul a healthy 91.9 cu ft. However, the GX's unusual cargo door is hinged on the passenger side, which means it opens toward the curb on American roads -- not the most convenient design for curbside loading.
The 2013 Lexus GX 460 comes with standard stability control, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and 10 airbags (front, front side, front knee, rear side and full-length side curtain). All models include Safety Connect, which uses the same 24-hour response center as the Enform system to get you the help you need if the unexpected occurs.
Crash tests have not been performed on the GX.
Behind the Wheel
The GX's interior frankly lacks the top-quality materials we've come to expect from Lexus over the years. In particular, the dashboard doesn't look or feel like it belongs in a vehicle costing more than $50,000. Still, everything seems screwed together reasonably well, and Lexus's trademark electroluminescent gauges are a reminder this is more than just a Toyota. Also, while the GX 460's central control panel has a lot of buttons, they're clearly marked in large white type, so there are no ergonomic snafus to report.
On the road, the GX 460 is a mixed bag. Its tall, slim build may work well for tight off-road trails, but it also makes the GX feel claustrophobic, as if it hasn't yet expanded to its full width. That feeling doesn't inspire confidence in corners, where the GX could hardly be more out of its element. In a straight line, however, the GX's soft ride and excellent noise suppression make for a pleasant cruising experience. Potholes are often barely noticeable thanks to the long-travel, off-road-ready suspension.
Acceleration from the mandatory V8 is adequate, even though it's unusual to see a V8 these days with such a low horsepower rating. The GX can tow up to 6,500 pounds with the optional trailer hitch, which is more than car-based crossover SUVs can handle but not that much by truckish SUV standards.
Other Cars to Consider
Audi Q7 -- With its standard 3-row seating and premium ambiance, the Q7 is a natural GX foe.
BMW X5 -- Boasting superior handling along with an available third row, the X5 is the driver's SUV in this class, but don't even think about it if you're the off-roading type.
Land Rover LR4 -- The surprisingly affordable LR4 impresses with its sumptuous interior, muscular V8 and adult-friendly 3-row seating. Off-road performance is naturally beyond reproach.
AutoTrader's Advice
The GX's technology options are among its most appealing features, so we'd suggest going for the top-of-the-line Premium. The cool front-view camera system alone is arguably worth the price of admission.

LaBelle II leads suspended Jacksonville Open
Ponte Vedra Beach, FL – Doug LaBelle II carded a 5-under-par 65 on Thursday to lead the first round of the Jacksonville Open, which was suspended due to darkness with nine players left on the course.
Camilo Benedetti, Josh Persons and Russell Henley each recorded a 66 at Dye's Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass to tie for second place. Ten players sit two shots back at 67, including two-time winner Ben Kohles.
"You know this wind, out of the south, I think makes the golf course a little easier than wind out of the north," said Benedetti. "You still have some holes, like 16 and 17 that are into the wind. Seventeen into the wind is kind of a tough hole. But it's playing soft and the greens are still pretty soft right now. As long as you hit the fairways, you can score."
Shawn Stefani, who captured the Miccosukee Championship last week for his second tour win of the season, produced four bogeys and a trio of birdies for a 71.
Champions Tour player Fred Funk, coming off a win last week at the Greater Hickory Classic at Rock Barn, carded a 74.
LaBelle, a winner of the Utah Championship in July, opened with three straight pars before reeling off three birdies in five holes. After the turn, he birdied No. 2 and later sandwiched a pair of birdies around his lone bogey to reach 5-under.
"I hit a lot of greens and I took advantage of the majority of my opportunities which I think is pretty hard to do on this golf course," said LaBelle. "Of the three greens I did miss, I got two of them up and down. I also left them in places where I could get them up and down."
The first round will resume Friday at 8:30 a.m. (et).
NOTES: Henley and Andy Winings recorded the first two bogey-free rounds in tournament history on Thursday. Winings is part of the group tied for fifth at 3-under...Henley won in a playoff at the Chiquita Classic a few weeks ago and finished third at the Miccosukee Championship last week...Last year, Gavin Coles fired a 64 in the second round, then hung on for a 1-stroke win over Jonas Blixt. Both players are in the field at the PGA event in Georgia this week.

Discussions over how to solve the U.S. fiscal imbalance have revolved primarily around raising taxes, yet entitlement reform and an emphasis on growth policies remain absent from the debate, Republican senators appearing on CNBC charged on Thursday.
As Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner headed to Capitol Hill to meet with congressional leaders over talks to steer the economy away from the "fiscal cliff", GOP senators took to the airwaves to put pressure on President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders to reveal what they might do aside from raising taxes.
Movement toward ending the stalemate "will start with the president showing us what his balanced plan is. He has to show us his balanced plan," said Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who is a member of the Senate Budget Committee.
"We should be compromising on exactly how we reform our tax code," Johnson told CNBC's "Squawk Box" n Thursday. "Simplify it dramatically so we can recover the $200 billion to $300 billion in compliance costs and pro-growth tax reform where you lower marginal tax rates by broadening the base." (Read more:How the 'Fiscal Cliff' Could Hurt Married Couples.)
In a series of public rallies, President Obama has pressed his case for raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Yet critics charge that the real issues behind the government's red ink drenched finances—namely, higher spending and entitlement reform—is being omitted from the debate.
"Republicans just don't want to raise tax rates. We want to find the monies the president would like to have elsewhere in the code and I think we can," Utah GOP senator Orrin Hatch told CNBC. "But we sure as heck need structural entitlement reform to get there.
The process needs presidential leadership, said Hatch, who became friends with Obama during his time in the Senate.
"I'm hoping my friend, Barack Obama, the president of the United States, will get off his duff and start leading because the Democrats will follow," Hatch added. "If he leads and the republicans win a position to say, yes, we'll cooperate and help save the country from the mess it's headed toward."
An internecine war has erupted amongst Republicans – who faltered in their bid to reclaim both the White House and Senate in the November general election – about raising taxes.
Key GOP legislators have appeared to waver on a pledge not to hike taxes, drawing ire from Grover Norquist, an influential opponent of higher taxes whose anti-tax "pledge" is now at the center of a brewing civil war amongst Republicans. (Read more: For Tax Pledge and Its Author, a Test of Time.)
"Do not send your money to Washington," said Sen. Rand Paul, (R-KY), defending his own anti-tax pledge, and explaining why it's important lawmakers cut spending to the bone before even considering any increase in taxes. (See video)
"Why in the world would you talk about cutting spending before you find out how much you have to spend?" countered Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), in an appearance on CNBC's "Closing Bell.""Isn't this all about a revenue shortfall? The first thing we should do is find out how much money can raise. What is the gap? And what we can't do in terms of raising revenue we go to the cuts part."

Young people may not be flocking to the polls this year.
A new poll of 18-to-29 year olds by the Harvard Institute of Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government found 23 percent said they would definitely be voting in November--down 11 percentage points from five months ago.
"Among the most likely voters, the poll also finds traditional Republican constituencies showing more enthusiasm than Democratic ones for participating in the upcoming midterms," the institute said.
Forty-four percent of 2012 Mitt Romney voters said they'll definitely be voting, while 35 of 2012 Barack Obama voters saying the same.
The poll had other somber news: It said younger people's "cynicism toward the political process has never been higher," said Harvard Institute of Politics Director Trey Grayson.
The survey polled 3,058 18- to 29- year-old U.S. citizens. Margin of error is 1.8 percentage points, conducted with the Government and Academic Research team of GfK for the IOP between March 22 and April 4.

Thats a good question. i think both questions have the same problem in this case, i don't know for sure that the lux value is supported at the moment. In the top tiles you can choose which value from the Json you want to show but the line charts are an other case.AleSpero wrote:Hello! I recently discovered this tool, and it's really great! Thank you for your hard work
I got some questions:
- Can i add data from 2 different devices in a line chart? I've seen in the general discussion topic that someone had both temperature and humidity in the same chart, i tried to replicate that (using a Lux sensor instead of humidity)
-Speaking of the Lux sensor, i can't seem to display its data in a line chart (i tried Domoticz smart chart too)
Is it supported? I tried something like

Possibly one of the strangest books I've ever read,
August 14, 2009
A very strange and terrifying book.
The nightmarish surrealism is what I love about all of his books. Philbin never fails to deliver the goods when it comes creating fiction that is original and full of creative narrative that explodes with vibrant metaphors and graphic description.
This books is not for those with weak stomachs or those adults with the sensibilities of a four-year old who would get offended at the first sight of human nudity. But keep in mind, there is nothing written in a book that doesn't reflect the real world somehow. I find that horror books are here to remind us that we're in Hell and we better get use to it. Reading horror novels, for me, is a way of confronting insanity on another level. At least you can escape from the nightmares of a book, but the nightmare we call reality, no matter how little we try to make our worlds, we cannot escape from. If you can't confront the nightmares in a book, how are you ever going to confront the real thing when it arrives, bursting through the locked doors of your domestic prison?
So read this book! It'll be good for you!
Who knows, the real apolocalypse may consist of giant birds feasting on human beings and raping them to produce strange hybrids. At least if you read this book, you'll be more prepared for it. And if not, at least you'll find some entertainment in a story well told.

Murphy greeted by pleas for help with heating costs
New London - Nancy Paetzell worked her whole life and thought she would be able to live off Social Security in her retirement years.
But in tears Tuesday afternoon, she told U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., that she is barely surviving on her $1,230 monthly Social Security check. She pays $825 in rent and tries to save $50 a week. But by month's end, she has cleaned out her savings account to pay bills. She is eligible for $15 a month in food stamps and receives help with heating costs through the federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
"When I was growing up, you were told you'd have Social Security to take care of you," said the 77-year-old Norwich resident, who is receiving on-the-job training at Thames Valley Council for Community Action in the hopes of landing an office job to make ends meet. "How come I'm so poor? I'm poorer than I've every been in my life. I can't pay my bills. I never wanted to be so poor."
Paetzell was one of four people directly affected by the automatic federal spending cuts known as sequestration who told their stories to Murphy during a visit to the TVCCA office.
She told Murphy that cuts made in Washington are felt the hardest by the poor and the working poor.
"My parents told me stories of what they had to do to survive during the Depression," she said. "It's nice to use the word recession, but I think this is similar to the Great Depression."
Murphy was in town gathering information on the affects on Connecticut residents of cuts made in Washington. He said he will bring the stories of struggling residents back to the Capitol, where members of the House and Senate will begin reviewing the budget.
Murphy said he will lobby to stop more cuts, especially to LIHEAP, which was cut by 5 percent last year and will be cut by 5 percent in each of the next 9 years. The $5 billion program will be reduced to about $2.5 billion.
Two years ago, Connecticut received $125 million in energy assistance. In 10 years, the amount will be about $76 million, Murphy said.
"It's not enough," he said. "Americans won't allow people to freeze to death in their own homes."
As the funding goes down, the need for heating assistance is going up, according to TVCCA. Two years ago, the local TVCCA, which serves communities in southeastern Connecticut, had 8,500 applications for energy assistance. Last year, the number was 9,500.
Lee Carenza, who is in charge of the program for TVCCA, said he expects to get more than 10,000 applications this year. The program awards grants of up to $585 to help pay for heating bills for income-eligible families. Two years ago, the highest grant was $900, he said.
Deborah Monahan, executive director of TVCCA, said people who are working full time come into the office in tears looking for help and saying they have nowhere else to go.
Wayne Lee, a retired Minneapolis police officer who works for the state Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and Sound Community Services, told Murphy he needs the energy assistance. He is recovering from a stroke, is still paying off student loans from 20 years ago and sleeps in a sleeping bag in the winter because it's warmer. His grant for energy assistance has been cut from $700 to $300.
Sue Hostnik, who works full-time for United Community & Family Services, said she is living paycheck to paycheck raising her three children, ages 8, 15 and 16. She said she counts on the energy grant, which dropped from $700 to $300, to pay her winter heating bills.
"My heat won't get shut off, but in May, I have to pay what I owe," she said. "I tell the kids, 'Get out the sweatshirts and the extra blankets.'"
Murphy said his counterparts in Washington "need to understand that even working full time, people can't pay their bills in Connecticut."
"We will win this fight eventually," Murphy assured the group.

London Guardian
Sept 12, 2012
More than 200 schools across Britain are using CCTV cameras in pupils' toilets or changing rooms, according to figures obtained by anti-surveillance campaigners, who warned that the research raised serious questions about the privacy of schoolchildren.
A total of 825 cameras were located in the toilets or changing rooms of 207 schools across England, Scotland and Wales, according to data provided by more than 2,000 schools.
The figures are based on freedom of information requests lodged by the campaign group Big Brother Watch. Its director, Nick Pickles, said the full extent of school surveillance was far higher than the group had expected, adding: "Schools need to come clean about why they are using these cameras and what is happening to the footage.
"Local authorities also need to be doing far more to rein in excessive surveillance in their areas and ensuring resources are not being diverted from more effective alternatives."

MALDEF, Latino Officers Charge City of Westminster Police Department with Employment Discrimination
Plaintiffs Seek Fair Treatment and Implementation of Impartial Promotion Policies and Practices
LOS ANGELES, CA - On March 2nd, MALDEF held a press conference announcing a lawsuit filed against the City of Westminster, as well as two former Police Chiefs of the Westminster Police Department, for discrimination against Latino police officers on the basis of their national origin. Plaintiffs have been denied promotions and Special Assignments, which can lead to promotions, in violation of the law.
Plaintiffs charge that the Westminster Police Department has unlawfully discriminated against Latino police officers and has engaged in a pattern and practice of such discrimination in violation Plaintiffs' constitutional rights under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and both state and federal employment laws, including California's Fair Housing and Employment Act and 42 U.S.C. Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act.
Thomas A. Saenz, MALDEF President and General Counsel, stated "More than one in five Westminster residents is Latino. In order to serve well and ably the full community, the Westminster Police Department must cease its discriminatory practices and provide equal opportunity to all, as the law plainly requires."
The plaintiffs include an active duty Major in the U.S. Marine Corps who has been promoted six times by the Marines; a long-serving police officer recognized with numerous awards including the MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) Award and the Centurion Award; and an officer who has been granted in excess of 10 commendations by the Westminster Police Department, has been twice awarded the Bronze medal of merit for saving someone's life, and was recognized as Rookie of the Year in his first year with the Department.
Victor Viramontes, MALDEF National Senior Counsel, stated "As an institution of public trust, it is unacceptable for a police department to deny Latino officers the promotions they deserve. Westminster must eliminate its discriminatory practices."
With this lawsuit, MALDEF will seek to compel the Police Department, a public institution that must protect and serve well the entire diverse community, to set the right example by implementing fair promotion policies and practices. This lawsuit addresses the right to fair treatment of Latino police officers who have been denied promotions and access to opportunities for promotion in violation of the law.
