For me, the Sartorialist is often 'Hail or Fail' in that sometimes I want to literally hunt down the people in his photographs to steal their outfits and sometimes I just want to hunt them down and …hurt them? Anyways, I can't decided with the photo to the left. While I love the proportion play of the trench and tight, knit waistcoat and the relatively baggy trousers tucked into the boots, I'm not as convinced by the Autumnal colour scheme.
US GQ March 2009- Justin Timberlake

Which High-Profile Model Inspired Brandon Flowers' Brits Brilliance?
When Brandon Flowers stepped onto the stage at this years Brits 2009 in that jacket I died as I felt my own wardrobe implode with sheer joy. His jacket had major shoulder pads covered in long feathers and the overall look was a mixture of indie legend and an American footballer who had been given a makeover by Jean Paul Gaultier.
I was pleasantly surprised at how many people shared in my amazement and when I set my Facebook status to something Brandon-related immediately I had replies from fashion, music and technology writers all claiming to be either in love/ mad with envy or seeing double. I, myself, felt that I recognised the jacket and it wasn't until the next day that I realised the model Brandon had obviously been taking style tips from…
Oh My Gran Torino…What was Clint Eastwood thinking?
I feel like a traitor to men worldwide (and that's saying something seeing as my trouser of choice is the skinny jean and I am constantly borrowing things from friends and family without a second thought as to which sex the item was originally intended for.) I have just dissed Clint Eastwood on a pretty public scale and I can already hear the heckles and smalls rocks as they soar through the air.
But let's be honest- he looks a complete mess.

News from New York: The Return of Ombré
Since I started on Brandish just over a year ago, I have repeatedly examined how trends begin in womenswear and eventually make the leap to menswear some few seasons later. Well now the Ombré trend worked by womenswear designers such as Jonathan Saunders and Prada almost three seasons ago has been dished out in rather glorious spades by designer Robert Geller.
Yay or Nay: Headwear at Duckie Brown
As we move to New York with our menswear coverage, the entire Brandish team has begun searching the shows for particular looks, gossip and moments that have caught our attention. And if there is one designer who has so far got people talking, it would have to be Duckie Brown. This label, designed by Steven Cox and Daniel Silver, has been trend-setting in previous seasons and over the last eight years it has definitely become one to watch for editors and writers alike.
So, with that said, what do you think of the label's latest headwear designs. Loud, outrageous and not just a bit odd, would you be willing to rock this monumental millinery?
Yay or Nay: Designer Devotees
Men.Style have just posted this hilarious video of self-confessed 'Lo-Head' rapper, 88-Keys.
Brandish Question: Are Your Favourite Labels Ruined By Celebs?
I hate to admit it but fashion weeks kill me. They really do. Don't get me wrong- I love the glamour, the fabrics, the details, the models and every other part of the fashion seasons. But it gives me a pain in the very bottom of my heart when I realise that the glorious clothes I drool over and dream about will only end up on the Jonas Brothers 2 months later.
Jimmy Carr in 'Mancake' at Elle Style Awards 2009
Yesterday, I was on my way to Gatwick after a holiday in Brighton and the radio came on with Jimmy Carr talking about such things as 'Guyliner' and 'Manscara.' It turned out that Carr had himself been wearing these rather controversial at the Elle Style Awards on Monday night and he explained that "you can't polish a turd but you can sprinkle glitter on it."

Yay or Nay: Undercover Lace-Up Jeans
Denim has been revolutionised in recent times and the last few years have seen denim be used by menswear designers to make a true statement. Whether skinny, twisted, acid bright faded, torn, studded, boot-leg: some might say that 'jeans maketh man.' And they wouldn't be far wrong.
So, what would these jeans say about a male? They lace up (with white leather might I add) the side and turn up at the bottom. The have a diamond pattern detail on the back pockets and come from one of the coolest labels of the moment.
Yay or Nay my friends? Vote after the jump.
Male Models like Luke Worrall and Cole Mohr -Can We Ever Relate To Them?
"Rake-thin, 12 year-old-looking, alien-eyed lady-boys"– this is how one of my friends describes the male models of today. While I don't quite agree with his overly-harsh and rather sweeping statement, I have to admit that there are times where the men plastered over magazines and high-fashion ad campaigns just seem completely out-of-touch.

Billy Graham and CIU: A Key Historic Relationship
In February 1950, evangelist Billy Graham was at the height of his ministry. America's eyes were focused on the young, fiery preacher as he traveled coast to coast preaching the gospel at packed out auditoriums and sports facilities. One of his stops that year was Columbia, S.C., home of Columbia Bible College, now Columbia International University. But as Graham laid the groundwork for his Columbia crusade that February, he called on a good friend and associate to help him make the event a success: CIU's first president Robert "R.C." McQuilkin.
A new article published online by amateur historian Cliff Davids of Atlanta looks back on the 63rd anniversary of the Columbia crusade through an exchange of letters between Graham and McQuilkin. Read the article, "Walking the Sawdust Trail – the Burden of the 1950 Billy Graham Crusade" at Cliff Davids' website:http://ashevilleoralhistoryproject.wordpress.com/2013/02/10/billy-graham/#more-2370

text: Undocumented immigrants often describe feeling invisible in their new countries, as the significant parts of their day-to-day existence must be kept below the radar of those who can threaten their livelihoods. Colombian artist Rafael Gomezbarros touches upon this theme in his installation series "Casa Tomada," in which giant sculptures of ants take over large, public spaces, confronting viewers with what they often overlook. "Casa Tomada" has previously appeared on the Colombian capitol building in Bogota and several art fairs in South America and the Caribbean. Its latest iteration is at Saatchi Gallery in London for their current exhibition, "Pangea: New Art from Africa and Latin America."

Behind a D-Link DI-704P with Comcast Internet, I periodically get disconnected every 10 minutes or so, though the other nodes on the network stay connected or disconnect at various times, especially when using P2P programs. The other times no P2P is open, still disconnecting.
Connecting directly through the cable modem, I don't get the problem, but cannot connect the other computers on the network that I want to have access to the web.
In Arizona using CableOne for internet, I had no problems, then finally moved from there to Arkansas, and then to Michigan, both places having problems using Comcast broadband.
I've tried the D-Link website and did a google search for fixes, updates, and various other odds and ends to fix the problem with no success.
What is the actual problem with my connectivity problem and how do I fix it?

Veterans waiting for benefits in Manchester assured things will changeBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 12. 2013 8:52PM
MANCHESTER — The day is coming when injured veterans won't have to wait longer than 125 days to find out whether they will receive veteran disability benefits, the Secretary for Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki told reporters Wednesday.
That will be two years from now, when a new electronic processing system eliminates the current backlog of claims, Shinseki said.
This spring, the VA announced efforts to reduce backlogs, now that the paperless, $428 million Veterans Benefits Management System is in place at all 56 regional offices, including Manchester.
"This is a big cross-over year for us," Shinseki said after speaking to VA workers who process benefits in the Norris Cotton federal building in Manchester. "We have for decades sat astride rivers of paper. Now we are in the process of turning off paper spigots and turning on electronic ones."
Nationally, the average time it takes to process a claim is 292 days.
That involves entering a claim into the system, determining what records — such as medical examinations and Defense Department service records — are needed for verification, obtaining those records, making a decision and notifying the veteran.
Payments are based on the percentage of a veteran's disability and the number of people who depend on him or her. A married veteran with a 50 percent disability would receive $888 a month, tax-free, according to the VA website.
Some veterans complain about the long wait, while others think their claims are quickly denied because the bureaucracy is playing catch-up, said Keith Howard, executive director of Liberty House, a shelter for homeless veterans in Manchester.
He said homeless veterans do get fast-tracked, as well as those injured in recent wars, POWs, Medal of Honor recipients and the terminally ill. Others suffer through the slow pace, he said.
"That's one of the things bureaucracies can do. They put so many road bumps in your way that eventually you give up," he said.
For example, part of benefit claims involve documenting injuries. Soldiers often self-triage, Howard said, putting themselves at the back of the line for more seriously injured people. Then years later, it's difficult to prove your injury, he said.
"You're not thinking at that point, 'I better document this for future benefits,'" Howard said.
Shinseki said veteran service organizations such as the American Legion and Disabled American Veterans provide key assistance to veterans when it comes to researching their claims.
He said veterans wait too long to receive their benefits, and neither he nor President Obama find that acceptable.
Shinseki attributed the lengthy wait to key decisions three years ago.
Three Vietnam War-related illnesses, including Agent Orange poisoning, were recognized. Nine first Gulf War illnesses were recognized. And benefits were allowed for veterans with verified post-traumatic stress disorder.
"PTSD is as old as combat itself," he said. PTSD is also recognized for victims of sexual assault, he said.
Overall, the Manchester office has a good track record of processing a claim. The average wait time for a fully developed New Hampshire claim is 36 days, compared to 82 nationally.
In fact, the Manchester office is helping other VA Benefit offices process claims, Shinseki said.
"It's a great indication Manchester is doing well," Shinseki said, "they're carrying an additional load."

NYPD, FBI look to close in on Michael Jones alleged killer in Mexico
The NYPD has turned to the FBI and Mexican authorities for help tracking down a day laborer accused of killing a West Harrison youth soccer coach in Manhattan on Sunday, police said.
Orlando Orea, 32, paid cash for a one-way ticket to Mexico on Tuesday morning, hours before detectives identified him as the man who allegedly killed Michael Jones.
Jones, 25, a native of Liverpool, England, was living in West Harrison while working as a youth coach for the Red Bulls.
Police efforts to track down Orea came as mourners, some clad in black and some wearing Red Bulls jerseys and scarves, jammed a White Plains church Wednesday morning to remember Jones -- affectionately known as "Jonesy."
Police are still piecing together the series of events that led to a confrontation in which Orea allegedly stabbed Jones and slashed his throat on 14th Street near Fifth Avenue. Surveillance camera footage shows Orea walking near Jones, and the two men may have had a conversation before the fatal 4:30 a.m. attack, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly said.
Police believe the attack stemmed from an earlier bar brawl, but they're not sure Jones was the intended target -- Orea may have confused Jones with another man, Kelly said.
NYPD detectives have asked the FBI for cooperation because agents stationed in Mexico work closely with their counterparts in Mexican law enforcement, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. The Manhattan district attorney's office also has contacted federal marshals, who would work to extradite Orea if he's caught, Browne said.
An FBI spokesman could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Though Jones' life was cut short, his friend, Cathryn Kaehr, said he made every minute count.
"I can remember chatting before games and (he would) look at his watch and say: 'I gotta go. I only have a little time that I can change their lives,' " she said.
Jones' girlfriend, Bryeanna Murphy, 23, was surrounded by family and friends as she was ushered out of the church through a side door after the service. A tearful Murphy, in a sleeveless black dress and black pumps, declined to speak to reporters.
Jerome De Bontin, general manager of the Red Bulls, which employed Jones as a youth trainer in Armonk and Bedford, said Jones had a knack for conveying his love of the game.
"He was such a good coach that he turned baseball fans, parents and children into soccer fanatics," De Bontin said.
The Red Bulls' game on Oct. 20 will be dedicated to Jones' memory, and he will be honored with a moment of silence.
Jones' body is being returned to England.
The suspect also is known as Orlando Gutierrez or Orlando Estevas, and public records show Orea twice was arrested in 2003 under his Gutierrez alias.
In one case, Gutierrez pleaded guilty to third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, and received a sentence of 21 days in jail and three years' probation, said Nassau County district attorney spokesman Chris Munzing. In the second case, Gutierrez pleaded guilty to second-degree harassment in the second degree, a violation, and received a conditional discharge, Munzing said.
In an interview with the BBC, Jones' father, Perry, said that his son had hoped to stay in the United States.
"He loved New York and he loved the lifestyle and was working, hoping to get a visa so he could stay there full time," he said.

Questions and Answers
Who founded MarineBio and why?
David Campbell developed and launched MarineBio.org in 1998 to share his love of the ocean and marine life with humankind. David was inspired early by the pioneering work of Jacques Cousteau who used television in the early 1970s to introduce the wonder of the ocean to the public. When the Web took off as the world's most valuable information tool, David realized its potential to continue Cousteau's work through a uniquely powerful new medium.
What is the scope of MarineBio?
The MarineBio network of sites are an evolving online tribute to all ocean life, marine biology, and marine conservation created to increase knowledge and inspire action to protect the marine environment and life within it. The network is staffed by volunteers including marine biologists, students, professors and conservation advocates. The site provides a wide variety of science-based information on the ocean, marine life, and marine conservation targeted toward a broad audience to help bridge the gap between science and conservation.
Who uses MarineBio?
MarineBio's target audience is broad. There are sections of the site dedicated to young kids and grade school students, high school students, college students, graduate students, scientists, policy makers and the general public. Since the site's launch in 1998, we have heard from users in dozens of countries, so we know our goal to reach a wide audience is working.
What are some of MarineBio's online features?
A cornerstone of MarineBio are databases that serve homepages for the most common and endangered marine species with photos, movies, sound files, scientifically accurate and cross-referenced biological information and other facts. Pages for all species also include direct links to be able to check their current conservation status as well to groups involved in their conservaion on the front-lines.
The site is divided into manageable categories and information is fully cross-referenced and cross-linked throughout the site. Species pages include linked References and useful research tools that automatically link to relevant information at other important online sources.
An online introductory "digital textbook" on ocean science and marine life is available on the site as well as evolving extensive information about the most important marine conservation issues. There are also extensive information about journals, databases, and other online research tools for marine scientists and graduate level students as well. The site also provides an excellent public resource for a number of daily news feeds related to marine life and science news.
The entire site is beautifully illustrated with photographs and/or video provided by MarineBio staff and marine life photographers who have donated their work. MarineBio strives to provide a vivid multi-media experience that juxtaposes the beauty of marine life with the threats that face it so that visitors are inspired to embrace a sea ethic and help protect the ocean.
The organization has formed the MarineBio Conservation Society, a membership society established to create a community of people who would like to get more involved in ocean science and conservation or who just want to help create an internationally unified voice to promote ocean stewardship. A nominal membership fee is required. In exchange, members receive a number of benefits including discounts, exclusive access to the members-only forum in the Plankton Forums and the opportunity to help:
- Create strength in numbers and increase visibility of top issues,
- Provide resources to marine conservation organizations making a significant impact and help determine the best use of those resources,
- Use the society's collective wisdom to develop solutions for restoring and protecting healthy marine ecosystems,
- Share experiences and ideas to deepen our knowledge of the issues and how they are related, and
- Bring people and organizations together to form strategic partnerships to address specific issues.

An electronic exchange that allows emergency room doctors at different hospitals in the tri-county region to share patient information saved more than $1 million in unnecessary admissions and redundant procedures over 12 months, a 2013 study shows.
The Medical University of South Carolina will present findings from the study at an assembly of the American College of Emergency Physicians in Seattle on Tuesday.
The Carolina eHealth Alliance, first launched with grant money by MUSC and Roper St. Francis Healthcare two years ago, now includes all four Lowcountry hospital systems.
"We knew intuitively that sharing information between otherwise siloed hospital systems would reduce redundant testing, imaging, CT scans, X-rays, medication prescriptions, admissions," said Dr. Christine Carr, the alliance's clinical leader.
For example, an ER doctor at Trident Medical Center may not need to order a lab test for a patient if a similar test had been administered recently at East Cooper Medical Center. The alliance allows doctors to access the results of that test.
One lab test may not cost much, but the savings add up. The 12-month study, which ended in February, showed the Carolina eHealth Alliance reduced services and charges across all hospital systems by $1,035,656 over one year.
"I think it's probably more than that — way more than that. That doesn't include any of the time savings," said Dr. Dan Lewis, an emergency room physician and the medical director of Roper Northwoods. "The time savings to us and the patients is huge."
There are more than 5,000 hospitals in the U.S., but only about 120 successful similar health information exchanges, Carr estimated. This study was one of the first to explore the impact of cost and efficiency that these systems produce, Carr said.
"From a really practical standpoint, hospitals won't collect as much revenue ... and I know they're OK with that. It will allow us to better take care of patients," she said.
But the alliance comes with its own challenges too. Funding for the program, which costs more than $250,000 a year to run, threatens its future.
"Currently this is funded by equal contributions from all four hospital systems," Carr said, but private insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid all reap huge savings from it.
A meeting at MUSC on Oct. 23, which will include hospital leadership, physicians, private insurance companies and the state Medicaid agency, has been called to discuss the program's future financing.
"We don't know who should pay to sustain this," Carr said.

Dracut grandfather pushes to prevent child abuse
May. 24, 2014
DRACUT, Mass. (AP) — When Bob Logan's 6-month-old grandson, Devin, died of a severe brain injury in 2005 as a result of being shaken in a fit of rage by the baby's father, it would have been easy for Logan to remain angry for life and do nothing.
Instead, he turned his tragedy into a mission to prevent other babies from suffering the same fate.
"I have an opportunity to help reach people, directly and indirectly, who may not know that it's not OK to shake a baby," Logan said from his Bridle Path Road home.
Logan is achieving that goal through A Child's Light Inc., a nonprofit education and advocacy group.
The group's mission is to prevent the abuse and neglect of children, whether physical, sexual, educational or emotional.
"I firmly believe that abusive head trauma/shaken-baby syndrome is a purely preventable form of child abuse," Logan said.
On June 16, 2006, Devin's biological father, 20-year-old Andrew Roberts, was arrested for the baby's death. The charge was second-degree murder. Roberts pleaded guilty on May 24, 2007, and became known as Inmate 79057 in the New Hampshire State Prison system. He was sentenced to 15 year in prison. He won't be released until July 12, 2022.
"I do not believe there was intent to harm Devin, but the rage he exhibited is despicable," Logan said. "I do not believe a child who is the victim of abusive head trauma/shaken-baby syndrome is intentionally harmed. I believe AHT/SBS is the result of an act of frustration and a lack of education. AHT/SBS is a purely preventable form of child abuse."
While it is too late for his grandson, Logan said, "Devin is the inspiration for the work that we do and the reason we formed A Child's Light."
The Infant Cap program and The Period of Purple, which is used by the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome in Utah, uses the infant knit caps as a symbol to educate parents and caregivers of newborns about normal infant crying and the dangers of shaking a baby.
Purple is an acronym for: Peak of crying, Unexpected crying, Resists soothing, Pain-like face, Long lasting, and Evening. The word means that crying has a beginning and an end.
"Frustration with a crying infant is the number-one trigger for the shaking and abuse of infants. New parents need to understand that just because the infant is crying; it does not necessarily mean something is wrong," Logan said.
Logan has collected about 650 knit caps made by 120 individuals, businesses and organizations, who have put their knitting needles to the task of trying to save babies.
The groups that have been donating infant caps, include: Aunt Margaret's Yarn & Gift Shop in North Chelmsford; Aldersgate United Methodist Church Knitting Ministry in Chelmsford; Elizabeth Seton Crochet and Knitting Group in Bedford, New Hampshire; Knitting Connection at Dracut Public Library; Stitching Up The World in Candia, New Hampshire; A Knitter's Garden in Chester, New Hampshire; and the Lowell Senior Center.
Aunt Margaret's Yarn & Gift Shop and A Knitter's Garden are offering a 10 percent product discount to individuals who are helping knit or crochet the purple caps.
Logan praised Judy Breitmaier, owner of Aunt Margaret's Yarn & Gift Shop, who has recruited over 35 people. Breitmaier has also contacted many of her suppliers who in turn donated yarn for the Infant Cap program.
New Hampshire currently has 80 percent of the birthing hospitals in the state implementing the Period of Purple Crying program, educating parents about the dangers of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Logan is trying to make inroads with hospitals in Massachusetts.
"If through our efforts we help save one child from being abused, I'll be very happy," Logan said.

Fire hit Tyler Perry's studio in southwest Atlanta on Monday, the second time a blaze has erupted at the entertainment complex this year.
A representative for the filmmaker described the new fire as "small," and said it was put out with a fire extinguisher. "The Atlanta Fire Dept. responded within minutes and all is fine," Perry's spokesperson wrote in an email, adding that no filming was taking place when the fire occurred.
The Atlanta Fire Department did not respond to requests for comment.
In May, a more serious fire broke out at the 30-acre complex, which brought 100 firefighters, 13 engines and 12 trucks to the scene. The four-alarm fire, the cause of which was undetermined, inflicted serious damage to a backlot facade.
Perry, who has a deal with Lionsgate Entertainment, keeps a 200,000-square-foot production site, including sound stages and a chapel, in Atlanta. His next on-screen role will come in October's crime thriller "Alex Cross," in which he plays a detective seeking to find the person responsible for murdering a member of his family.

There was a time when the only people who would wear band T shirts were metal heads still loyal to their ageing rocker heroes, Ned's Atomic Dustbin fans, who a decade on hadn't bought any other new items of clothes, and Teenage Fanclub fans who'd give them a quick iron and pop them on each time their favourite Glaswegians hit their local venue
Then a few years back rock T shirts suddenly became cool in an ironic way. The Kate Moss set started wearing Ramones shirts and pretty soon you couldn't move in Top Shop for vintage rock band shirts and disco diva fifteen year olds desperate to snap them up.
Things then got way out of hand and in parts of north London your pre school child wasn't properly dressed without a Pistols or Clash T shirt.
One only feels sorry for those earnest aging rockers whose enquiries about Sonic Youth records to youngsters sporting the Goo t shirt were met by blank stares.
Nevertheless the band T shirt is back and is likely to remain a staple for both kids looking for cool designs and adults wanting to broadcast their musical taste.
So the other day we began arguing in the office about which is the most iconic band T short of all time. A couple of Flat Whites and bit of Facebook research later and we had a list of contenders.
Surveying the list it becomes obvious that band T shirts fall into one of four categories.
1 The classic band logo – This is the band's whose ident is captured in one little graphic device. The band's brand if you will and the illustration that appears on their drumkit, behind them at gigs and obviously on their merch. Band logos have included some of the finest and most iconic pop art emblems of the recent decades and not too surprisingly our list is dominated by them.
2 The classic album cover – Oddly there aren't as many of these in the list as you might think. In fact if you peruse any list of the great albums of all time you'll find that many near the top like The Beatles albums for example, have not been widely replicated on T shirts. The ones that work well tend to have designs that are either black and white or two basic colours. So Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures looks great on your chest, whereas Ziggy Stardust less so. I think The Smiths may have got lucky here. Morrissey famously designed most of their single and album covers or rather appropriated them from 60s films. For reasons of taste (or maybe even budget) they were almost always two colour affairs that look great as T shirts.
3 A logo taken from an album cover – This works occasionally. Think The Stone Roses whose debut album sleeve was covered in lemons – the exact same fruit that became the motif for their most iconic T shirt.
4 Something utterly off the wall that the band ends up championing – see number two.
Anyhow, here then is our list of the ten most iconic rock and roll T shirts of all time. It was close but sadly Ned's Atomic Dustbin didn't quite make the cut.
1 Rolling Stones Tongue
The most instantly recognisable band logo ever was designed by John Pasche in 1970. Apparently the pop art design perfectly encapsulated Mick Jagger's sensuous lips and the band's rebelliousness. It has been in continuous use by the Rolling Stones ever since. This T shirt has diamante tongue.
Sonic Youth Goo AC/DC Motorhead Stone Roses The Who Nirvana Joy Division Inspiral Carpets Ramones Smiths Beatles Stones

We had the pleasure of holding and prodding both the Xbox One and PS4's controllers this week at E3. Here's what we made of them after playing with them in the flesh.
Design and build
The Xbox One controller feels a little smaller in the hands than its 360 predecessor but it's still just as comfortable to hold. We felt right at home the instant we picked it up thanks to its well-balanced weight and familiar shape. We quite like the new understated look of the ABXY buttons while the Xbox guide button sports a shiny silver paintjob.
The PS4's DualShock 4 controller has greatly improved over its PlayStation 3 brother and we're happy to report that Sony has opted for a larger controller with extended grips. Finally, we have a PlayStation controller that doesn't feel like a toy. It's also mercifully heavier, making it feel less cheap and more stable to hold.
Buttons and d-pad
The Xbox One and PS4 controllers retain their iconic ABXY and triangle, circle, square and X buttons, with both sets offering enough resistance to avoid accidental presses. The Xbox One controller's ABXY buttons are a little curved compared to the PS4 controller's flatter ones, but we really can't see that making any difference in actual use.
The Xbox 360's Start and Select buttons have been booted for new View and Menu alternatives. The right Menu button brings up in game menus while the View button switches between views or provides more information in games and apps.
Similarly, the PS4 DualShock 4 controller now has a Share button for easily sharing screenshots and videos along with an Options button for menus.
The Xbox 360 controller's Achilles heel has always been the d-pad, and Microsoft has addressed this a less chunky 4-way design which is a definite improvement over it's bulging and inaccurate predecessor. We didn't really use either controller's d-pad during our time with them, but we can't imagine any glaring problems with either.
Triggers and bumpers
The Xbox One controller's curved triggers met our fingertips with a comfortable familiarity and we liked the response from its new magnetic sensors which the Microsoft rep told us offers more precision.
The LB and RB bumpers took some getting used to however. They're' much larger now and are almost hidden as they melt into the glossy black plastic across the top of the controller itself. We found them a little hard to press at first but got used to them after a short session with Battlefield 4. We were chucking panicky grenades in no time.
The PS4's controller finally, at long last, has got... curved triggers. We're happy to wave goodbye to those rubber trigger conversion kits and this is the way it should have been from the very beginning. Sony's seen the light at last.
The Xbox One controller's thumbstick tips are 25 per cent smaller, and you'll definitely feel the difference. It's off-putting at first, but their rough texture provides much better grip than the smooth ones on the Xbox 360. They're also more sensitive, have a wider range of motion, and we found that their tighter action offered more control.
Clicking the left thumbstick in to run on Battlefield 4 was problematically stiff for us however, although we were playing the PC version which might not translate as well with the new controller at this early stage.
The PS4's thumbsticks have also improved, with grippy concave tips to ensure that your thumbs will stay in place during frantic firefights. The Xbox One controller gets our vote in this department though, thanks to its asymmetrical thumbstick placement which we find to be more comfortable.
The PS4 sticks with Bluetooth for its controller connectivity, while Microsoft is opting for Wi-Fi Direct.
The Xbox One controller has a proprietary port on the button for headset and accessory connectivity while the PS4's DualShock 4 controller sports a 3.5mm headphone jack for use with standard headphones, earning some extra brownie points. It's also got built-in speakers for developers to take advantage of.
The Xbox One controller has ditched the bulky battery compartment which is now built in. Gamers will be able to buy play and charge kits with rechargeable batteries or they can opt to shove in a pair of normal batteries to keep the fragging marathons going without delay.
The PS4 controller also keeps the rechargeable battery, though it's built into the controller with no way to replace it, which could be a disadvantage for impatient games who want to jump in cable-free.
Actual battery life tests will have to wait until review units have shipped in, but we're hoping for at least six hours for long blocks of uninterrupted gaming goodness.
Flashy tricks
Both controllers are great in their own right, but each one comes bundled with a few techy extras that set them apart.
The PS4 controller has a light bar which is used for accurate tracking with the PlayStation camera (see our E3 demo video). The light bar can also be used by games. Killzone: Shadow Fall for example ,uses green to show you're in tip-top shape, with a gradual change to red representing your ineptness in battle and the diminishing of your health bar.
Not only that, but the PS4 can shift split-screen windows around according to where players are sitting, thanks to its light bar detection which supports up to four controllers at a time.
The Xbox One can also do this, thanks to the scarily accurate Kinect which can tell which person is holding which controller, courtesy of some clever facial and controller recognition.
The PS4's controller also has a clickable touchpad which will come in handy for web browsing and offers another control option for developers to take advantage of. Flicking up on the touchpad during our Thief demo at E3 brought up the weapon selection menu for example.
Good vibrations
What the Xbox One's controller lacks in flashing lights and touch sensitivity, it makes up for with new vibration motors in the actual triggers themselves which adds another level of feedback.
We tried out a controller demo at E3 which showed off some nice examples of how this effect can be used. One demo showed off a beating heart and we felt an unnervingly realistic 'pulse' in each of our trigger fingers which was very impressive, if not a little spooky.
A car was also brought to an extra level of immersion with the engine shudder felt in both the palms and our fingertips, with subtle gear change feedback to boot. The Microsoft rep also told us that the vibrations can change according to how much ammo you have left, letting you know you're running low without having to check onscreen. Needless to say, unloading a virtual minigun felt very satisfying indeed.
There's plenty of potential for the extras in both controllers, though it's up to developers to take advantage of them all. At the end of the day, the controllers won't be the make-or-break decision for most gamers when it comes to choosing which console will sit beneath the coveted spot under their tellies.
Wrap up
The Sony DualShock 4 will cost £55, while the Xbox One controller's price has yet to be revealed. It's listed on Amazon US at US$60 (the same price as the DualShock 4) so we expect it to land at around the same price.
Sony has improved the DualShock greatly, addressing its many niggles to produce a comfortable controller packed with exciting tech to boot, though its non-removeable battety might be a little annoying for hardcore gamers with back-to-back wireless play sessions in mind.
Microsoft on the other hand had less work to do, as the Xbox 360 controller itself was already a top-notch. A sleeker look and tighter controls, coupled with clever vibration technology means that the Xbox One controller should make both Xbox One and PC gamers very happy indeed.

Hmmm the first paper I write... there must be a beginning for everything. Anyway, I'm taking you into a short overview of PCK. Most importantly, either here or in PMs, I ask of feedback, please. Okay, here goes
__Public Key Cryptography__
This paper was written to aid in the understanding of Public Key Cryptography. Its purpose is therefore purely theoretical, except in those cases when you think you would like to program your very own public key algorithm. It is not meant to be an extensive look into these standards. For full information please refer to appropriate sources. You should know how to get to them.
-=1. Content of this paper [this bit :P]
-=2. Why encrypt? [why not?]
-=3. What is public key cryptography? [I think this is why you are reading this]
-=4. Safe? [some technicalities and other generally nasty stuff]
-=5. Endnotes.
::2 _Why Encrypt?_
I doubt I really need to go into why somebody should encrypt sensitive data. Being personal information, it is safer that only you have access to it. Intellectual property, password files [you should never have your passwords written in a file, but I won't explain to you why that bit is utterly stupid and incomprehensible from a logical standpoint ] or an e-mail from one of your girlfriends which the other should not find - a lot of things are better off in ciphertext.
There are a number of options when it comes to encryption, each using different algorithms. Explaining one-time pads, hash functions and reciprocal encryption [which should not be called crypto anyway] is beyond the scope of the current paper. One needs to research which the best tool for him would be, considering the sensitivity of the data, the available funds to be invested in the encryption, and known flaws in cryptographic algorithms. The latter should be paid serious attention to.
::3 _What is public key cryptography?_
Public Key Crypto is used generally when you need to send an encrypted message to somebody and they need to manage to decrypt it [and quick, we don't mean any cryptanalysis here]. Of course you could attempt to offer the recipient the same password/passphrase you used for encryption in the first place, but how do you send that one in a secure fashion? What PKC does is allows you to have a public key [doh!] that's accessible to everyone for download or otherwise obtain at no risk to the ciphertext. So getting down to it, how does it work?
Let's say Alice wants to send Brian a message. Alice has apk [Alice's public key] and ask [Alice's secret key]. So does Brian have a bpk and a bsk. Now both apk and bpk are free to obtain either by download from a third party, or, in the case of most encryption software, can be traded in the form of ASCII codes. If Alice wants to tell Brian how sexy he is, she will encrypt the respective e-mail with his public key and send the ciphertext to Brian. He can easily decipher the text using bsk. If it has not been self-understandable, PCK is not reciprocal. That means, using the public key, somebody cannot both encrypt and decrypt a message. This is what makes the public key safe for sharing no matter to whom.
::4 _Safe?_
When it is really important information we deal with, the security of the ciphertext is, obviously, of great concern. That is why one must understand how safe PKC is. So, what are the chances of someone breaking the code and getting your data without your permission?
As for most things in computer sciences, the answer to this problem is given by mathematics. Let us see what exactly happens with the keys involved in the transaction of a ciphertext [the following example pertains to the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman - RSA - encryption algorithm and may be different depending on the cryptographic method used].
Let {c} represent the cipher, {m} the original message, {b1pk} and {b2pk} are Brian's public key [divided by the algorithm used in encryption], {bsk} his secret key.
When Alice creates the ciphertext, she is exponentiating: {c} = {m}^{b1pk} mod {b2pk}. Brian, in order to decrypt {c} and get back to {m}, exponentiates: {m} = {c}^{bsk} mod {b2pk}. Depending on the algorithm, there is a set mathematical relationship between {b1pk} and {bsk} that allows only Brian to decrypt the cipher. This relationship has to do with large primes which are hard to obtain [if someone was to attempt to break the cipher and retrieve the original message]. This is what makes PKC one of the most secure forms of sending encrypted data. Of course, nothing is full proof, but often the user or an implementation of the algorithm is to blame, not the algorithm itself.
::5 _Endnotes_
With any method you choose, certain things may go wrong. An advice everybody gives but it seems not everybody listens to is "read about it! When a question regarding data security - a category in which cryptography has an important place - arises, research, ask, and research some more about it. While you could try and understand the whole of it by yourself, today nobody has time to reinvent the wheel for every car one drives.
After a basic introduction into PCK it is up to the reader to research more on this topic. Important aspects - for those wishing to code their very own cryptographic system - such as mathematical modelling, cryptanalysis and key specifics have not been discussed at length here.
Feel free to ask me questions on this topic. Where you found this file there must be some way to contact me. For those of you really getting into PCK here follows my PGP [Pretty Good Privacy] public key . Take care and protect what's valuable to you. Chances are, someone else knows of it.
Thanks and.. I repeat.. all feedback much appreciated.

One-percent increase insignificant; fall bird numbers depend on nesting success
PRATT — From April 25-May 21, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) conducted its annual spring survey of pheasants in the Sunflower State. As the mating season approaches, roosters increase crowing, and KDWP staff drive established routes to listen for the birds. Data from this survey, combined with the summer brood count survey in August, helps determine the outlook for the fall pheasant crop.
This year's spring survey period was six days later than normal due to poor weather. Overall, numbers along 22 of the 46 comparable routes increased, 22 decreased, and two were unchanged from last year. Rangewide, the 2010 Pheasant Crowing Survey (PCS) index was 19.3 crows per station, a statistically insignificant increase of 1 percent from last year.
In the northwest, 12 routes were surveyed, 11 by the same observers as in 2009, and the crowing birds counted increased 3 percent from 2009.
In northcentral Kansas, 11 of 12 routes were surveyed, yielding an average of 13 crows per station, a 17 percent decrease from last year. Smith County was not surveyed.
In the northeast, 10 routes were surveyed, nine by 2009 observers, yielding a regional PCS index of 6.3 crows per station, an 8 percent increase over 2009.
In southwest Kansas, 17 of 18 routes were completed, 12 by last year's observers, with a PCS index of 22.5 crows per station, a 9 percent decrease from last year.
Eight of the 9 survey routes were successfully surveyed in southcentral Kansas this spring, with a 7.3 PCS index. Five routes had the same observers as in 2009. The five comparable routes increased 53 percent overall. Kingman and Reno counties were not surveyed.
Although the winter of 2009-10 was generally colder and produced more snow than average, conditions were not severe enough to significantly impact pheasant populations. As is typical, regional changes in the PCS indices this year largely reflect weather conditions during the 2009 reproductive period. The only region to experience a significant decline was the northcentral region where excessive heavy rains during the 2009 late nesting and early brood-rearing periods reduced production.
"Despite what appeared to be excellent nesting and brood-rearing conditions in the northwest, there was little change in the index from 2009 to 2010, possibly suggesting that the excellent population in the region is near carrying capacity," said retiring KDWP research biologist Randy Rodgers in his last report for the agency. "Somewhat surprising was the significant increase in the southcentral region. Pheasant harvest reports last fall were better than expected in the southcentral region, but the strong increase may have been influenced by the fact that only five of the nine survey routes in the region could be used for the 2009-2010 comparison. Although the increase in the southwest regional index was modest and not statistically significant, it is likely the increase was real and reflected the improved spring moisture and breeding conditions in the region in 2009, following drought during the 2008 nesting and brood-rearing periods."
As always, the number of birds available during the fall hunting season depends not only on the number of breeding birds but on nesting conditions in May and June. Locally heavy rainfall in June may have impacted chicks in some areas, but the picture won't be complete until the summer brood count survey is completed and the results compiled. These results will be available on the KDWP website in mid-September.

Contemporary country singer Dierks Bentley has changed producers for "Riser," his seventh album, and the results play up a long-held U2 influence. The chiming guitars and slow-boiling melodies add a simmering passion to Bentley's distinctive vocal and writing style, while the lyrics and subtle instrumental touches tie it to country music.
Working with producer Ross Copperman, Bentley's ambitious reach comes charging back in such new gems as the spiritual "Here On Earth" and the personal statements of "I Hold On" and "Damn These Dreams."
The album's arrangements — a refinement of a sound Bentley has drawn on since his 2003 debut — mix atmospheric touches with steady rhythms that percolate and at times explode into fist-pumping anthems. The sound accentuates the strengths of Bentley's voice, which nicely articulates narrative story songs like "Bourbon In Kentucky" (with harmony vocals by Kacey Musgraves) and the tangled emotions of "Say You Do."
Bentley's often shown a sly sense of humor, and it surfaces on the entertaining "Drunk on a Plane," which manages to turn a poignant portrait of heartbreak into a party song.
"Riser" might not lift Bentley to the top-tier rank of label mates Luke Bryan and Eric Church, but the singer-songwriter continues to bring a much-needed creative heft to country music.

I bought the 30 watt solar seystm from harbor freight, it cost $129 on sale, I have it hooked up in my shed to a 115 amp hour battery. My panels have about 6 hours of direct sunlight, which adds up to 240 watts of charging into the battery. This means that I can put another 115 amp hour battery into the seystm. I want to use it to run the lights in the shed as well as an emergency supply of electricity to run cell phone chargers and a small digital tv seystm to watch the news and weather.
Above comment does not pertain to Sunpower.
Watts and amp-hours are not the same thing.
HFT's 30W solar panel system probably does not produce 30W.

Goat strap 5 cm made from high quality leather
111 buckle
52 cm length
Incl. adhere
Buckle riveted
Combine your personal cowbell with an individual inscription on a tag or an engraving the buckle. You can find the corresponding article under "inscriptions"
The straps are made of genuine stuffed leather and are refined. The edges of the bell strap are broken and rounded to ensure the animals optimal comfort. The straps are vegetable-tanned, which is optimal for your animals, as this tanning method usually counteracts any allergies associated with straps.
With good care with appropriate leather oil, which you can find here, you can use the bell straps on the pasture for many years. Leather straps are insensitive to UV light, unlike nylon straps.
Another advantage of leather straps over nylon is that only harmful and no sharp particles enter the stomach of the animals when consuming parts of the straps. Thus, a high-quality leather straps is still the best for your darlings.
The stable 111er buckle is not only for use on the pasture, it can also be excellent engraved. The noble appearance predestines the strap as a noble gift. The bell strap can be easily and simply pulled through the buckle. This allows a quick ad and removal of the bell.
