The spanking-new Honda Civic CRX sports coupe is a ''lightweight,'' but only in pounds. In performance, it's a super-heavyweight; and, at under $7,000, the car is almost a steal.
Indeed, the truncated Honda Civic CRX may never win a beauty contest, yet to some it could end up being the cutest thing on the road.
Seating two people with a voluminous cargo hold in the back, the Civic CRX is Honda's low-cost (by today's standards) entry into the sporty coupe market. It combines high under-the-hood efficiency - which translates into super-high mileage on the road - perky performance, and a design that's likely to grow on you.
With the base 1.3-liter engine, the car is credited by the Environmental Protection Agency with 67 miles to a gallon on the highway - or an astrounding 51 mpg in the city, highest of any production car on US roads, including diesels.
But with the larger 12-valve, 1.5-liter engine and 5-speed manual transmission, the mpg falls to 49 and 36. Add a 3-speed automatic transmission and torque converter lockup, and the mpg ''drops off'' to 42 and 32.
Who can quibble with any of these figures? No matter what the configuration, it means super mileage behind the wheel, even if the real-world figures are somewhat smaller.
The spirited 1.5-liter, 76-hp aluminum engine is a downsized version of the 1 .8-liter, introduced in the second-generation Prelude earlier this year.
Honda has long had a reputation for making the automobile industry sit up and take notice. The original Honda Civic with its low-emission CVCC (compound vortex controlled combustion) engine sent Detroit engineers back to the drawing boards, and the Japanese carmaker is still stunning the auto industry with thoughtfully conceived, innovative products.
Being small has not meant ''thinking small,'' except in the size of its cars.
Since November 1982 Honda has been building Accords in Marysville, Ohio, adjacent to its motorcycle assembly plant. Thus the company has escaped some of the vocal anti-Japanese sentiment that has been building in some parts of the US over the past few years.
Because of the Ohio plant, which will produce well over 100,000 cars in the next 12 months, the carmaker could sell more than a half million vehicles in the US in 1984. The Civic CRX sports coupe should help speed Honda toward that mark.
Japan's Honda has a knack for designing and building small cars that meet the market head on. The first Civic didn't have too far to go before being fully entrenched in the marketplace. The follow-up Accord was a knockout. Then the sporty Prelude found its market niche. Now comes the third-generation Civic, including the 2-seater hatchback CRX.
Even the company's highly publicized rust problem of a few years ago hasn't turned off the buyers.
The CRX, with a curb weight of around 1,800 pounds, uses Honda-refined plastics in innovative ways. The front fenders, for example, are made of tough, lightweight plastic to resist low-speed bumps - in a parking lot, for example - while the lower body panels are made of plastic to inhibit rust. The bumpers as well are plastic.
Handling rates an ''A,'' not only on the straight stretches of roadway, but also on the bends. In a sharp turn, the car sticks to the road with a vengeance. The suspension is sufficiently stiff to provide a sporty ride, although it may be a mite choppy when the road surface turns rough. A softer suspension would compromise the car's handling characteristics.
Stabilizer bars are used front and rear, and the Michelin premium steel-belted radial tires do their job well. A front air dam and rear spoiler help the car slice through the air with minimal disturbance.
Inside space is large, even for a 6-footer and up. There is no closed-in feeling, despite the limited dimensions of the vehicle itself. The seats have ample room to adjust; only the very tall would need to move the forward-aft adjustment all the way back.
Ergonomically, the car feels good to me. The controls all seem to fit, with no awkward reach or twist.
One enthusiastic young woman, singing the praises of the car after a test ride, told me, however, that with high heels she found it awkward to reach the gas pedal. ''I'd have to wear tennis shoes,'' she added.
Even so, Honda has come out with a high performer that is some 700 pounds lighter than the plastic-bodied Pontiac Fiero. Pontiac wanted a much lighter car in the Fiero, but Honda has done it.

machines to exchange dollars and euros for Brazilian reais
The news hit the healines a few days ago but the specific details are still scarce. The Brazilian government gave permission to banks and other financial institutions to install and operate money exchanging machines (Real can be exchanged for Dollars in ATMs).
The machines, similar to ATM's but operating independently, will allow tourists to exchange foreign currency (initially only dollars and euros are being mentioned) for Brazilian reais – and viceversa. The person exchanging money will have to insert an international credit car in the machine. The information on the card will be used to identify the person exchanging money. And then they will insert the bank notes they wish to exchange.
The key issue will be the exchange rate used by banks and financial institutions on the exchange machines they run. If it's a disadvantageous rate, then our recommendation will remain exchanged: withdraw money from ATM's when possible or use the tradicional foreign exchange booths.
An interesting idea in theory that will have to be reassessed once it is implemented. With the Soccer World Cup and the Olympic Games in the horizon helping tourists gain access to local currency should become a priority.

Teen Wolf Fans Cry Out on Twitter After the Death of *SPOILER*
Teen Wolf creator Jeff Davis is on everyone's hit list after last night's beyond shocking episode of the hit MTV series. Although the particular show was teased with the tag, "One will escape. One will be found. One will die," absolutely no one anticipated who would get the ax, as evidenced on Twitter. WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!
On the "Insatiable" ep, we learned that the one who escaped was mental asylum inmate Meredith, who may or may not be a banshee like Lydia; the one who was found was Lydia, with Meredith's help; finally, the one who died was — back out now if you don't want to know! — Allison Argent. W… T… F??? In the final moments of the show, Isaac was getting cut up by swords all over the place, leading many to believe that he'd be the casualty. However, one blow (a freaking stab wound by a sword) is all it took to take down the bow-and-arrow-wielding heroine played by Crystal Reed. Some of her final words absolutely killed us, "I'm in the arms of my first love;" her first love, meaning Scott (Tyler Posey). {CUE THE TEARS}
According to Entertainment Weekly, this moment was a long time coming. Crystal herself reveals in an interview, conducted prior to the episode's airing, "I love the art. And I felt like, creatively, there were things I wanted to do differently, and I wanted to explore other avenues of film and TV. I wanted to jump into different characters. You know, I'm 29. So I think the age difference was something I wanted to change as well because she's 17. I love the show so much. So I went to Jeff and talked about it and he said, 'We'll write you a great ending.'"
Despite the awesome tribute to Allison's heroism, fans were heartbroken:
Oh my God I couldn't stop crying. A truly wonderful and powerful female character. You will definitely be missed Allison Argent #RIPAllison— Leyla Hawn Aliyeva (@Muser_ley274) March 18, 2014
Last night's episode messed me up so bad that I had to stay home today to recover #RIPAllison @MTVteenwolf— amber barney (@alrightbritain) March 18, 2014
#RIPAllison NO! NO! NO! That can't be true! NO! She can't be dead. pic.twitter.com/1vCzFCY1WF— Julia Sam (@JuliaSam666) March 18, 2014
Lydia's scream.
Isaac's pain.
Scott's cry.
Chris' disbelief.
The fandom's heart.
#RIPAllison pic.twitter.com/UlGcjukM6P— rip allison argent (@obroseylovee) March 18, 2014
Is anyone else emotionally unstable because of teen wolf last night? #RIPAllison— || Magcon Family || (@5sostruly) March 18, 2014
Honestly, we're kinda left wondering if her split from Daniel Sharman (Isaac) in real life had anything to do with her departure, considering she mentioned that they "were a couple of episodes into [Season 3], and I spoke with my team and expressed that I wanted to do different things;" the two broke up only months prior to filming the third season. What do you think of it all? Tell us your Teen Wolf/Crystal Reed thoughts in the comments!

Six Open House Questions To Be Prepared To Answer
Open houses might be fun for home shoppers, but to agents, they're work. Your feedback is the market research they need to do their jobs right. If you know the questions open house agents are going to ask then you can be prepared with answers. All you need is little preparation Here is your cheat sheet to some of the questions you may face at an open house:
1.The question: How long have you been looking?
Why they're asking: The agent is trying to determine how serious you are in buying a new home. If you've only been looking for a few weeks, the agent will understand you are just getting your feet wet and trying to figure out what you are looking for in a new home. If you have been on the home search for months, the agent will recognize you are a serious buyer and may dig in further to find out what you're looking for.
How you should answer: Be honest and specific. This is harmless information.
2.The question: Are you working with an agent exclusively?
Why they're asking: This question sets the tone of the conversation. If you are represented by an agent, they open house agent cannot try to represent you. Many agents doing business in the same area know each other so don't be caught off guard if the agent asks who your agent is. The agent will likely call your agent to get your feedback on the home.
How you should answer: If you are working with an agent, say so! If you are asked to sign in with your name, give your agent's contact information rather than your info. That's all the agent needs to follow up.
3.The question: How does this house compare to other's you've seen?
Why they're asking: Now that the agent knows you have been looking at other homes, they want to know how their listing compares to others on the market. What better feedback than from a home buyer who has toured other homes nearby.
How you should answer: Be honest and point out the differences (good and bad) between comparable homes. If you recently toured a similar home in the neighborhood with a remodeled kitchen but this kitchen could use some updating let the agent know. This feedback is valuable to the agent and the homeowner to understand if the home has been on the market longer than others in the neighborhood.
4.The question: Are you specifically looking in this neighborhood?
Why they're asking: The agent would like to know how focused you are. If you are serious about the neighborhood but not interested in making an offer on his/her listing, you've caught her attention. What is it about this listing that isn't appealing? The house style? The particular street it sits on? Or is it all about the price?
How you should answer: Once again, be honest. If you're focused on the neighborhood, it's OK to say so. If you have just started looking and aren't quite ready to pull the trigger, it's OK to say so. Any feedback the agent receives is valuable and will help in deciding if there are adjustments that need to be made in marketing the home if buyers aren't making offers.
5.The question: What do you think of the price?
Why they're asking: This won't be the first question to be asked but it's the most important one. The agent wants a thoughtful answer.
How you should answer: If you don't feel like you have seen enough homes or don't know enough about the market to give an educated answer, then explain this the agent. In general, the agent isn't looking for a specific dollar amount but would like to know if the home is "priced competitively" or "priced to high."
6.The question: Are you considering making an offer on this home?
Why they're asking: The agent is trying to do their job so don't take offense!
How you should answer: As a buyer, you hold the power. Letting the agent know you are planning on writing an offer is good news to the agent. It also may help you if the home is in high demand. The agent will wait for all offers to be submitted in a multiple offer situation so this allows you time to contact your agent and your offer submitted. If you're not planning on making an offer, it's fine to say that, too.
Buying a home is probably the most significant financial commitment you'll ever make. Whether you're a first time buyer or building your dream home, HUFF Realty will help you through the entire home buying experience.

Besides daily interactions with others at the project site, most groups have a more formal meeting once or twice a week to discuss research problems, and progress and developments reported in the literature. The program concludes with a poster session by the interns describing their projects.

Suzdal (Су́здаль;[3]) is a historic small town in Vladimir Oblast east of Moscow Russia, about 25 km north of Vladimir. It was once the capital of several Russian principalities and has many examples of early Russian architecture. It is probably the most interesting of the Golden Ring cities.
During the time of the Soviet Union, nearly all of Suzdal's economy was planned around its tourist potential. As a result, very few modern buildings were constructed in Suzdal (by law there are no structures more than 2 stories high except cathedrals). Also, a number of wooden structures from other parts of Russia were transported here, and the whole city was converted into an 'open-air museum'. Unfortunately, Suzdal's dependence on tourism also meant its economy came to a standstill when tourists stopped coming after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The town's tourist trade now appears to be slowly revitalizing itself however, mostly due to an influx of affluent Russian tourists from Moscow and elsewhere.
Suzdal retains a rustic old Russian, Soviet-era atmosphere. You will not find any McDonalds restaurants or any trace of Western chain shops or hotels here. Livestock wandering the streets and elderly women washing cloths in the river (and tourists wielding digital cameras) are regular sights in Suzdal.
Get in
There are no trains to Suzdal, so aside from organized bus tours, the only way to reach the city is by bus or car. There is one daily bus from Moscow's Shelkovskaya bus station. However, a more convenient option is to first visit Vladimir, and then take a bus from there. Buses depart from Vladimir to Suzdal every thirty minutes. Special private tour buses to Vladimir and Suzdal also operate from Kursky Train Station (Metro: Kurskaya). Prices and destinations vary.
Trains leave from Moscow to Vladimir from Kurskaya Train Station. Buy tickets at the regional (short-distance) train ticket counter. This is the right wing of the Kurskaya station (Poezda Prigorodnogo Napravleniya - Gorkogo). Tickets cost RUR 260 one way from Moscow to Vladimir. There are several daily departures with the earliest at 8:00am.
From Vladimir train station exit and walk 50 meters across the parking lot to the Vladimir Bus Terminal. Purchase a bus ticket at the ticket counter (approximately RUR 70) and ask for the number of the platform. The tickets have assigned bus seat number, so pay attention, as somebody may take your seat if you do not claim it.
Get around
July 16 - Cucumber Day. A funny holiday, based on the fact that Suzdal's cucumbers have a reputation as the best cucumbers in central Russia. This holiday is celebrated with a folk music festival.
The beverage of choice in Russia is vodka, by far. Suzdal, however, is famous for another drink, medovukha, a Russian type of cider made from honey. Tourists should be wary of purchasing this drink on the streets, though, for counterfeits are common. Ask your guide where you can buy real medovukha.
Suzdal is unique among Russian cities for its wide variety of choices when it comes to places to stay. There are many small hotels with 5-20 rooms. Advance booking is crucial for those who intend to visit during the New Year holiday season, Independence Day, and during the summer high season.
Get out
The Suzdal Bus Terminal is located on Vasylevski Street. It is a 20 minute walk from the city center, or a short taxi ride. Regular buses leave from Suzdal to Vladimir at short intervals (approximately 30 minutes). At least one daily bus to Moscow leaves at 5:15 AM (arrives in Moscow 10:15 AM - Shelkovskaya Metro - east end of blue line).
The Suzdal bus station is rather primitive, with minimal snack and toilet facilities available. But, it is a long walk to town, and taxi drivers who charge locals about 5 or 10 rubles to drive there will charge tourists up to 200. But, if you are coming by bus from Vladimir, do not get off there. The same bus will take you on to the center of town, unbeknownst to many visitors.


text: Don't show up at your Apple Store at 8:30 AM. They do not open until 10 AM. I walked in the mall and thought, "Wow! No lines." As I got closer to the store, I thought, "Geez...I thought demand would be higher." Then I got to the store and thought, "They're not even going to open early for this thing? Not sure I can wait around until 10 AM...maybe I can come back." Then it dawned on me. Today is Thursday. Tomorrow is Friday. SMH

autumn palette
(all from www.topshop.com)
spent far too long on the Topshop website over the weekend convincing myself that it was 'all in the name of research for my visual merchandising training!'
really, it was just about creating a massive wishlist for my uniform and organising it by colour because im slightly OCD about things like that :)
a few days back home seems to be doing me the world of good too, so far i have spent the last 3 days at the beach,sunbathing, chasing the dog around the garden, dancing with my best friends in a beer garden and not having to get up at 5.30am in the morning which makes me very happy!
hope everyone else has had a good weekend?

I like your collage; the perfect balance of colour. I'm really liking the array of Tapered trousers, the coat with the belt is amazing and so is the camel coat. Your polka dot shirt is quite cool, I'm after one myself and I also like your brown felt boater hat (the feathered detail is amazing).

Von Lintel's Photograms Travel to Paris
Artsy Editorial
Amanda Means has worked as a master black-and-white printmaker for such notables as photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, artist Roni Horn, and the Smithsonian Institution, but she creates her own work without even using a camera. The artist explores with the limits of the photographic medium, creating images without film by allowing developing chemicals to wash across scored paper, creating lyrical, abstract chemigrams in the tradition of Pierre Cordier. She also often works with everyday objects as her subject matter, bringing light bulbs, drinking glasses, and even plants into the darkroom and placing them under the enlarger to capture them in stark detail onto light-sensitive paper. With their crisp, graphic lines and the objects' subtle imperfections, the works offer a closer look at the duality of the manmade and nature's unknowable forces.

My class uses a dataset and a property to "get" and "set" the rows in a SQL table called GROUPS into a class table called tblGroups. In my constructor I select the contents of the GROUPS datatable and use the "Set" code in the property to populate tblGroups as follows"
Here is the property in the class:
Private tblGroups As DataTable = New DataTable
Public Property Groups() As DataTable
Groups = tblGroups
End Get
Set(ByVal value As DataTable)
tblGroups = value
End Set
End Property
Constructor Code:
Groups = ds.Tables("Groups")
When instantiating a new class object the set code above does a fine job of loading any existing records into my tblGroups table. Now I wish to add additional records into that table. What is the best way to accomplish this?
Hello friends,
I am having a problem of updating the main form button backcolor property from another class. I have attahced the code. Please tell how can i rectify this problem.
PopUp is another class, in which i want that when ToolStripDropDown closes it change the form button BackColor from Orange to WhiteSmoke.
public partial class PopUp : ToolStripDropDown
public PopUp()
protected override void OnClosed(ToolStripDropDownClosedEventArgs e)
Form1 f1 = new Form1();
// f1._pushed = false;
f1.Controls["button1"].BackColor = Color.WhiteSmoke;
It seems that this line works, i checked it using MessageBox it changes the backcolor property but it does not updated to the form displayed on the screen.
Can anyone help me
I was reading the article
Freezable Objects Overviewand came acrosee the statement
"If your class contains non-dependency-property data members that are DependencyObject objects, you must also call the OnFreezablePropertyChanged method each time you
change on of their values, even if you're setting the member to null. "
I quite do not understand the part about non-dependency-property data members that are DependencyObject objects. Can some one explain exactly what this means? If a data
member is derived from the DependencyObject class how then can the data member be a non dependency property?
I am also trying to locate some source code / project that overrides the OnFreezablePropertyChanged method, and have yet to find any on the interenet.
If anyone know whe
Hi all,
Could you answer me how to do next, please?
How to do this with Lambda?
Is it possible to delegate some object instance and use its properties
and methods in case if this method doesn't know type of delegated
class class_a {
public string getChildData<T> (T dynamicInstance) {
return dynamicInstance.prop;
class class_b : a {
public string prop = "prop_b";
class class_c : a {
public string prop = "prop_c";
var inst_b = new b ();
var inst_c = new c ();
Purpose : to get child property inside parent class?
Thanks, Artem
I have a vb class that reads a single row of data from an SQL view. I want to add a property to it that will expose the value of a new bit field. But whatever I do my class always returns the value "false".What am I doing wrong? Public ReadOnly Property IsPublished() As Boolean Get Return valPublished End Get End PropertyHere's the relevant line from my datareader: Me.valPublished = Convert.ToBoolean(theObjectReader("Authorised"))Authorised is my bit field. I have tried it with and without the "ConvertToBoolean" statement.When I response write the value of the property for rows where this field is true, it always shows false.Any ideas?
I have a generic class:
abstract public class BaseTC<T>:IExecutable where T : Core, new()
private Type2 testInfo;
private Type1 settings;
private T core = null;
and I want to load such class from library the class is located in, and create an instance of it and execute methods later on.
I know how to use non-generic classes, but no idea how to call the same with generics.
I've just moved to .NET 4.0 / Visual Studio 2010 and am hoping there is a new answer to this question, found on StackOverflow from over a year ago:
Is it possible to set a style's TargetType property in XAML to a Generic Class?
public class Selector<T> : Control { }
<Style x:TargetType="Selector">
<Setter Property="MyProperty" Value="Green" />
I found this on the WPF Tutorial, and would like to find a similar mechanism for this situation above.
<ObservableCollection x:TypeArguments="Employee">
<l:Employee FirstName="John" Name="Doe" />
<l:Employee FirstName="Tim" Name="Smith" />
</ObservableCollection />
I want to know , how good / bad is it to save configuration values in a static properties?
I am creating an application which reads configuration from an XML file and a DataContext file, instead of sending the CustomConfig class into the configuration.xml each time I tought about using an ReadXml() method on application_start at the global.ascx
the ReadXml() method would save the data in static properties of CustomConfig and whereever I would want to read that particler data I would ask CustomConfig.PROERTY_NAME
My question is ? how smart it is ? how long does IIS would save the data in a static member? (if as long as the application exists then I'm ok as long as I add the ReadXml() in the application_start)
would like to hear your comment..
In my application I have a class called "RCategory" as illustrated here:
Public Class RCategory
Public Property RCatNum As Integer
Public Property RAct As Char
Public Property RMin As Double
Public Property RMax As Double
Public Property RTyp As Char
End Class
I have another class where I want to use a List (of RCategory) as a property, to-wit:
Public Property RpStrt As Date
Public Property RpEnd As Date 'Plan Year End
Public Property RCat As List(Of RCategory)
Public Property MinFee As Double
I'm trying to add to my list using the following code:
For ct As Integer = 1 To 8
Dim c As New RCategory With {.RCatNum = ct,
.RAct = dr("RACT" & ct.ToString).ToString,
.RTyp = dr("RTYP" & ct.ToString).ToString,
.RMax = CDbl(dr("RMAX" & ct.ToString))}
If ct = 4 Or ct = 5 Then
c.RMin = CDbl(dr("RMIN" & ct.ToString))
Hi All,
Using the properties as defined in a class, how about can I put them into the ParamArray parameters argument of my function.
The code as follows:
Public Class MyObject
Public Property Prop1 as string
Public Property Prop2 as integer
Public Property Prop3 as Boolean
Public Sub AddNewMyObject
MsSQL_ExecuteNonQuery("StoredProc_AddNewMyObject", ________________?)
End Sub
End Class
Protected Function MsSQL_ExecuteNonQuery(ByVal storedProc as string, ByVal ParamArray parameters as object())
'Some Code here.
End Function
Please kindly help and advice.
Thank you in advance.
Warmest Regards,
Any insights on this would be greatly appreciated...
I am using Win32_PerfRawData_PerfProc_Process to query 'PercentProcessorTime', i.e., '% Processor Time' and cook it using the formula 100*((X1-X0)/(Y1-Y0)) to get the CPU utilization of a process (not the processor).
The experiment is conducted in a physical workstation and on a Virtual Machine. The outcome is really interesting. While it takes 0.005% on the physical workstation takes about 7% in the virtual machine...
Any idea on why this happens would be very helpful. Also would be interested to know the best way to collect CPU utilization of a process that runs in a virtual machine (guest OS).
I'm busy writing an application where the user will have to specify the location of a ?wsdl file for asmx and/or svc type services.
My application will have to :
1. Deduce from the wsdl what methods (with parameters and return types) are available on the service.
2. Provide a way to either generate a Proxy class in memory to execute methods against with e.g: Reflection
for instanse : genericProxy.Invoke("HelloWorldMethod",parameter1,parameter2);
I want to avoid using something like this : notSoGenericProxy.HelloWorldMethod(parameter1,parameter2); seeing that my application will have no
idea what service it will have to work with at runtime.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Thank you for any help in advance!

N.; Sokolov, I.; and Minko, S. Chem. Mater. (Communication), 2006,18(3), pp 591-593. In this paper, the authors describe the use of a magnetic field for the fabrication of wire-like structures made by linking Fe3O4superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPN) with polyelectrolyte molecules. These wires are structures wherein the SPN particles are linked permanently and they conserve the shape in spite of thermal motion in the fluid. Further, upon deposition onto solid substrates in the presence of an external magnetic field, they form parallel patterns which remain attached to the substrate with lithography-like stubbornness and, thus, are immune to washings and changes in the direction of the applied magnetic field.

CNN has provided a nice world map of gun related crime. What is interesting is that the gun related crime doesn't seem to be strongly correlated with lawful gun ownership. For example, the USA has some of the least restrictive gun laws in the world, and has a "medium" level of gun crime, while Brazil has some rather strict gun laws, but has a high level of gun related crime. Similarly, Norway and Finland have a high rate of gun ownership, but a "low" rate of gun related crime, while Russia has restrictive gun laws but a "high" rate of gun crime. Despite what the anti gun groups say, guns, in and of themselves just don't cause crime. Instead, the intentional actions of criminals are to blame, and it is likely that socioeconomic considerations also play an important role in crime rates.
My thanks to Anders for pointing out this map

ANIMA formed in the summer of 2005 under the name of Metmachines, but soon after renamed the band Anima, Their debut album "The Daily Grind" is a well crafted extreme metal offering laden full death metal inspired grindcore complimented by a crisp & polished production recorded at Rape of Harmonies studio in Germany, ANIMA is one of the most promising bands to rise from the European metal underground, Considering the quality of their songs it's hard to believe all the band members are between 16 and 19 years of age.

The days of Phish-related speculation being relegated to message boards and blogs seem to be over as local papers pick up on these rumors and run with them. We've got a couple of examples that popped up today. Most Phish fans are convinced that the band's upcoming Halloween Festival will take place at one of the Polo Fields in Indio, leading many of them to book hotel rooms near the site. The Desert Sun – a local paper out of Palm Springs – published an article yesterday about the hotels in the area seeing a major increase in bookings for the nights between October 29 and November 2.
[Photo by Dave Vann]
Today, the Desert Sun ran a follow-up article indicating that Coachella concert promoter Paul Tolett was due to meet with Phish production manager Hadden Hipsley yesterday without revealing any details about what transpired between the two. Meanwhile, city officials claim they haven't seen any contract or agreement. The Save The Date graphic on Phish.com still has plenty of States left, but it's becoming clear which state will host the festival on October 30 through November 1.
Over on the East Coast, our friend Sam McDonald of the Daily Press – a fine journo who wrote a ton of articles about every aspect of Phish's three-night stand at the Hampton Coliseum in March – has put together a piece about speculation that the jam maestros will return to the Mothership as part of their fall tour. McDonald even got a source to give the rumor legs…
A Hampton city government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Phish is definitely coming back this year — probably sometime in the fall.
In these harsh economic times local officials LOVE the financial shot in the arm that the Phish community can bring making a potential visit from the quartet a big story. Times have certainly changed from the days when Phish was supposedly banned from Red Rocks and other venues.

i believe it, why not, if it's going to be anywhere on the east coast in october, hampton is perfect

Aren't the 3 day festivals usually camping events? Wouldn't a place like Big Cypress make more sense?
July 3, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Big Cypress would make sense, just not in Oct-Nov. Hurricane/rain season is from June 1 to Nov 1 there is a potential of another Coventry mudfest. Out West would make more sense where it is drier.

Dudes, the Festival will be in Indio AND they will be playing Hampton in October…not to mention two nights at MSG.
July 15, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Rob, youre an idiot. Its in october. People on the east coast, quit bitching, its no ones fault but yours that you live in an area that is cold as shit in the fall. Festy will be CA, AZ, NV, or FL. period. Who the fuck wants to stand outside for three days in vermont?

Jane and Jim are wonder people that sit down with you during breakfast, shares a great conversation with you about Hood River and makes the best fruit crepe, they can even make it Gluten Free! Also they are in a wonder location, just out side of down town, so you are not in the middle of the noise. I recommend staying and say hi to Jane and Jim. Kristina

Disgaea 4 release information has been released a little ahead of schedule, revealing a promise of "greatly improved" graphics.
The release information came by way of a (now deleted) Bic Camera product page, presumably published a little early:
Nippon Ichi is to release the wickedest SRPG ever, Makai Senki Disgaea 4, on the PS3!
Compared to 3, 4 will boast greatly improved graphics, a "gigantification" system, "network elements" and all manner of other stimulating changes – prepare yourself for the wickedest SRPG ever!
Release details indicate a February 24th release for Japan, with a ¥7,140 normal edition and a ¥9,975 limited edition with Nendoroid Puchi – previous talk of a 2010 release appears to have been overly optimisitc.
Just whether the promised "improved graphics" will actually result in a game which looks as if it belongs on the PS3 (or even the PS2) rather than the PS1 or PSP is understandably a matter of some concern to fans.

Pain on the top of the foot can be caused by stress fractures, tendonitis and arthritis, according to Podiatry Network. Diagnosis is conducted by X-rays, MRIs and CT scans.
Pain that suddenly occurs atop the foot in the absence of injury may be caused by a stress fracture, such as that of a metatarsal bone, which is a bone behind the toes. The navicular bone on the top and inside of the foot may also fracture, reports Podiatry Network. This injury is generally sports-induced.
Extensor tendonitis also causes pain on the top of the foot, notes Podiatry Network. Excessive tightness of the calf muscle is a common cause of this condition, as it inflames the tendons leading to the toes. Degenerative arthritis can cause swelling or "thick" feet, and it is seen in people with a falling arch or flat feet. Tarsal coalition, the result of abnormal fusing of two or more bones in the mid-foot region, is seen in children and young adults and can be hereditary. Pain in the Sinus Tarsi, which is a bone canal just below the ankle joint on the outside of the foot, can be caused by flattening the foot, thereby pinching its small ligaments, and by jamming the bones that border the canal.

The New Paint Selection Tool in Pixelmator 2.2 Blueberry
In Pixelmator 2.2 Blueberry, we have one more treat packed for you: The new Paint Selection Tool. It's an awesome tool that makes selecting anything within your images really simple and enjoyable. You paint as if using the Brush Tool, only you are not painting but rather selecting.
Technically speaking, we've implemented a few tricks that enabled the tool to "read" the area within the stroke and then, judging by the texture and colors of it, select entire objects for you automatically. We've spent quite some time crafting it, but we believe the tool was really worth it.
The all-new Paint Selection Tool is part of the awesome, free, and soon-to-be-released Pixelmator 2.2 Blueberry major update.
P.S. Also, check out cool new Light Leak effect and Convert Text into Shape features coming in Pixelmator 2.2 Blueberry!
