S01:E28 - The Sacred Totem of Wisdom
12 min
While playing a game of fetch in the forest with Barfley, Pepe discovers The Sacred Totem of Wisdom and begins following the advice of the spirits who reside within. The problem is that the wisdom they claim to possess always directs Pepe to make the worst choices possible.
Season 1
S01:E01 - Bathroom Beauty
The Dark Ages Diner is holding a beauty contest – the winner will get TWO "all-you-can-eat" feasts. Pepe really wants to gorge himself on barbecued meat, so he convinces MaryLou to enter. He grabs some of Grandma's beauty potion to make MaryLou astonishingly beautiful, but overuses it. Now Pepe and MaryLou must summon the 'Bathroom Beauty' to help MaryLou become pretty again – but it comes with a very heavy price!
S01:E02 - Pepe-Pirates of the Lower Colon
When Pepe sees an ancient commercial for a probiotic drink called 'Gooforit' he becomes obsessed with trying it. He finally tracks down a case, and against everyone else's advice (it has an expiry date that pre-dates his own birth) he guzzles a bottle. Pepe's body is instantly under attack from the bacteria contained in the rancid drink and he goes into catatonic shock. It's up to Grandma and her shrinking potion to take the gang on a fantastic voyage inside Pepe's body, to fight the growing enemy fungus and bring Pepe back to the land of the living.
S01:E03 - Night of the Were-Pigeon
Pepe comes face to face with his TV hero, monster hunter Jack Hunter, after Grandma casts a spell that turns him into a 'were-pigeon'. Unfortunately for Pepe, Jack is only interested in turning him into his latest trophy, which means he's going to have to team up with a captured Bigfoot and Loch Ness monster, if he even has a hope of escaping.
S01:E04 - Tunnel of Love
It's the Valentine's Day Ball and Marylou is determined to take home the crown as Queen of the Ball; her only problem is…she doesn't have a date. With everyone already paired up for the dance her only remaining candidate is Pepe, who of course has ZERO interest in going. Cue G, as she tricks him into going for a cruise through the Tunnel of Love with Marylou. Now Pepe's filled with amorous feelings toward Marylou…And he can't stand it! His only solution: Find the source of his 'love hex' and destroy it.
S01:E05 - Lady Darkness Comes to Town
Lady Darkness rolls into town on a mission to finally take G's soul, by challenging her to a motorcycle duel in The Globe of Doom. When Pepe accidentally injures G, she ups the ante by doubling down and offering both of their souls as the prize. Forced to sub in, Pepe is terrified that he's going to lose, as he hasn't quite yet mastered (or even learned) how to ride a bike.
S01:E06 - Picture Day Panic
It's Picture Day at school and Pepe is determined to redeem himself after last year's humiliating fiasco that saw him get his photo snapped while wearing a potato sack. His plans for redemption are quickly hijacked when a Tapir Creeper escapes from the school's maximum-security detention hall, and goes on a rampage, purposely messing up everyone's perfectly coiffed looks. It's up to Pepe to stop the Tapir Creeper in time for him to get his picture perfect photo finish.
S01:E07 - Party Pooper
Pepe invites his pals over for 'The Most Epic Party Ever', but when it turns out to be a bust, he goes to extreme measures to ramp up the fun. Putting Mario's turtle in G's Mutant Morphing Machine, he thinks he's going to create a massive party monster, but instead gets a giant party pooper.
S01:E08 - Poor Little Prince of Darkness
Pepe makes a deal with the devil to get a copy of his favorite videogame, Problemon, but when it's revealed that his soul was previously sold by G, he has to scramble to find a replacement. Soon, the gang is playing a game of musical chairs with each other's souls.
S01:E09 - Unicorn Princesses
Pepe secretly loves Unicorn Princesses, the girliest TV show in the world! Pepe is worried his friend's will kick him out of their "Macho Men" club if they find out, so, when Pepe wins a Unicorn Princesses contest, he dresses up as a girl named "Pepina" to collect the prize. However, when he steals one of his Grandma's wigs for his outfit, it comes to life and "Pepina" attacks all of Pepe's friends!
S01:E10 - Escape From Monster Mountain
Pepe and the gang are the lucky first customers to ride the world's tallest rollercoaster, Monster Mountain. Too bad for them, altitude sickness, a sabotaging gremlin, a mysterious hitchhiker and an insanely full bladder, threaten to make this the worst ride ever.
S01:E11 - How Pepe Stole Christmas
Tired of getting a lump of coal in his stocking every year, Pepe hatches a plan to hijack Santa's sleigh and get ALL of the presents in the world. When his scheme goes sideways and Santa's reindeer go on the lam, Pepe has to scramble to get them back, but in a case of mistaken identity, instead he reanimates a pack of dinosaur skeletons that go on a rampage in town. It's a Christmas calamity!
S01:E12 - Kumo Tachi
When Pepe and Grandma head out for a day at the beach, their plans are foiled by a flat tire. In search of something to plug the hole, Pepe starts poking around in a creepy abandoned house and winds up catching the attention of a spirit bent on ridding the townspeople of all their stress. What at first seems like an amazing thing soon turns into a nightmare as the blissed-out residents of Carne Valley are too chill to keep the wheels of daily society in gear. It's up to Pepe to return stress and chaos to the townsfolk and save society as they know it.
S01:E13 - Smells Like Teen Spirit
When Pepe discovers that Gary and Gaston are shooting their own ghost busting show called The Y Files, he is shocked to learn that they're trying to prove that ghosts aren't real.

As the team scours the house in search of supernatural activity, Pepe runs into a ghost named Greg and tries to recruit him to unleashing an epic scare on his doubtful pals.
S01:E14 - Apocalypse Pepe
After being chastised by G for never finishing anything he starts, Pepe goes on a mission to prove her wrong, by bringing about the end of the world.

Carne Valley is hit by a scorching heat wave so Pepe and the gang head to a local water park to try and cool off. When they arrive they find it ominously 'closed' with its gates padlocked.

Once inside, instead of finding fun they end up on the run from a cult of kids who want to offer them to Craka, the drain-clog monster who lives at the bottom of the pool.
S01:E19 - Little Snotty
After a visit to the Magic Corral Petting Zoo, Marylou comes down with a case of the Super Swine Flu which causes her to sneeze out a cute and cuddly booger that Pepe immediately befriends.

Pepe is suddenly faced with the ultimate choice…which friend will he choose to save…?
S01:E20 - One Thousand and One Wishes

S01:E23 - The Butler Always Did It
The gang shows up at a book signing for their favorite mystery author Agoata Christie. Suddenly the lights go out and screams fill the air. When everything returns to normal, it's discovered that Agoata has vanished. Taking a cue from the pages of his (least) favorite book, Pepe dons his Sherlock hat and decides to investigate. More anxious to play detective than actually do any sleuthing, he misses the most obvious suspect of all, the mysterious stranger known as Chupa Cabra.
S01:E24 - Top Potionista
After getting slammed in a review by famous potion critic Dudu DiMarco, G signs up to go on the TV competition Top Potionista.

When Pepe grows impatient waiting for the latest Problemon release, he goes to the town bell tower and rings the Bell of Time, in an attempt to trick the store owners into opening their doors early.

Hey gang, thanks for entering, commenting and retweeting - here are the winners:

I'll be sending each of you a DM to let you know how to get your hat. Thanks to everyone who entered!
It's time for another Screen Rant giveaway, and this one's pretty cool: You just never know when you may have to face down a ravenous flesh-eating zombie in your own life, so Screen Rant is giving away 5 Real Deal Brazil zombie-killing hats, the same hardy headwear worn by an AK-47-totin' Woody Harrelson as he whups undead butt in Zombieland!
I've got me one of these killer hats (yeah, that's me on the right) and I'm ready to back Woody up. Are YOU ready to defend yourself from the impending zombie hordes? :-)
Hailing from a remote town in equatorial Brazil, these heady head-toppers are handmade from recycled tarps that once covered the beds of cross-country cargo trucks hauling open freight, from the steamy Amazon out to the bustling coast. Thus these hats have lived a full lifetime before ever reaching your head, having endured blinding rain, scalding heat, harsh salt winds, flying road debris and much, much more. Fighting off a bunch of the brain-dead undead is like a cakewalk by comparison.
This headwear is not only about as "green" as something canvas-colored can get - even tarp scraps are reused, sewn as patches onto other hats - it's also uncommonly hard to hurt, holding up to just about any abuse that you, or any zombies you may meet, might think to throw at it.
No two RDB hats can ever be alike, with variations in canvas colors, holes, frayings, patches, stitching and stains. Some hats even have snippets of Portuguese stamped on them in thick black ink. For a sense of the variety from hat to hat, check out the Real Deal Brazil collage below.
Thanks to Real Deal Brazil for sponsoring this great contest.

Gingrich: CPAC has identity crisis
Former GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said Wednesday that he's not sure what the purpose of CPAC is anymore as the annual conservative conference gets ready to open in just more than a week — and with Gingrich slated to speak.
"CPAC at one time was sort of the militant wing of the conservative movement," Gingrich told conservative radio host Laura Ingraham on her radio program.
Story Continued Below
He later said: "I don't know what CPAC is today. It's huge. It draws lots and lots of people, particularly students, it gets a fair amount of attention in the media. But I don't know how they define who gets to come in and who doesn't get to come in and my sense is that the board is not very open and not very clear on it or whether these are just personality decisions or what they're thinking."
( WATCH: Republican pundits knock CPAC)
The Conservative Political Action Conference's organizers have drawn fire from pundits within their own party for not including prominent Republican leaders at the event — at which 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney, among others, are slated to attend. Perhaps CPAC's snub of GOP New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has drawn the most ire from critics.
Gingrich, who is also a former House speaker, played both sides of the issue.
"You can say, 'Well, Christie isn't invited for X,' but you could also, frankly, look at his record on controlling spending and reforming New Jersey government and say, 'You know, he has a story to tell that's pretty interesting and that for a northeastern governor in a heavily unionized state is pretty courageous.'"

He added: "I can go either way on these things. I thought hugging Obama was a bit much during [Superstorm] Sandy, but on the other hand, when you look at the level of damage that had been done to the Jersey shore, you can understand how emotional he was during that time."

Maritime historian to discuss latest book in Greenwich
In an era when everyone seems to be embracing the e-Book -- publishers and readers alike -- Alfred A.Knopf has just released a stunning tribute to the art of the paper-and-ink book, "The Sea and Civilization," by Lincoln Paine.
While it is slightly oversized, the $40 book doesn't really qualify as a coffee-table art object, but the 744-page volume is beautifully designed and packed with illustrations that no Kindle or Nook yet devised could do justice to. "They did an amazing job. It masks a whole host of flaws," the maritime historian said, laughing, in a phone interview from his Portland, Maine, home last week.
"As a (physical) book, it's stupendous," he added of the presentation of his many years of research and writing on mankind's relationship with the sea over the past 3,500 years.
Paine's national book tour will be bringing him to the Greenwich Library on Thursday, Nov. 7.
Paine said he got so caught up in finishing the writing of the book that he left the chore of gathering illustrations together until the final stage, and quickly realized that would be a major job in itself.

"I thought it would be easy, but it wasn't. ... If you could find (the right illustration) it would invariably be without attribution," he said of nailing down the rights to the dozens of pictures scattered throughout the text and the 16 pages of color plates in the center of the book.
"The Sea and Civilization" grew out of Paine's previous book, "Ships of the World: An Historical Encyclopedia."
"That gave me the idea of a maritime history and I had a couple of different ideas. First I thought about doing a young adult book, but I couldn't scale it back (enough)," he recalled.
Finally, the writer put together a lengthy proposal for a general readership book looking at human history through the role that sea travel has played in it -- i.e., foreign cultures coming into contact with each other via ocean, along with their languages, religions and goods.
Paine makes a case for looking at the sea as a way of tracing the rise and fall of civilizations.
"I knew the basic outline (for the proposal), but I misled myself in terms of the formidable research that would be necessary," Paine said.
For a year, the Maine resident spent a week a month in New York City, digging into the maritime archives of his alma mater, Columbia (the notes and bibliography in "The Sea and Civilization" take up more than 100 pages).
After two revisions of his "long, shapeless manuscript," Paine produced a book that is as readable as it is packed with history as seen from the sea.
"I don't like jargonistic writing. ... I think stories can easily be told without that," the author said of aiming his book at average readers as well as armchair historians. "I'm very bad at jargon anyway."
Paine makes us reconsider our place on this planet, which has 70 percent of its surface covered by water.
"People have made the case before," he said of a sea-centered world history. "But not in such a holistic approach. It was ambitious and I'm sure there will be people who have serious reservations about my approach."
Among its many other points of interest, the book shows how the idea of the sea as a recreational space developed in the 17th century in England after two of the royals took an interest in yachting.
People also began to flock to the sea for refreshment and relaxation in subsequent centuries when doctors and other health practitioners began theorizing that salt water had curative properties relating to everything from asthma and deafness to cancer.
"The sea has always had a (strong) draw as a path to places far away. ... It's relatively easy to cross once you figure out what you're doing," Paine said, adding that there was a time before rail travel in this country when it was easier to get from New York City to San Francisco via boat rather than the overland route.
"During the California gold rush most of the people went by sea because it took half the time," he added, even though the land route was 3,000 and the sea route 12,000 miles.
As far as the paper-and-ink book vs. e-Book question goes, Paine believes there will always be a market for the former.
"I don't think the (physical) book will ever go away. If history tells us anything it's that we (tend to) adopt new things, but never get rid of the old ones. ... They're still making buggy whips, just not as many as they used to," he said.
Lincoln Paine will be talking about "The Sea and Civilization" on Tuesday, Nov. 5, at 6 p.m. at Bank Square Books, 53 W. Main St., Mystic; and on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. at the Greenwich Library, 101 W. Putnam Ave.

Very grateful with Dominick Barksdale, a true blessing! We loved our car purchase experience with Dominick who was quickly able to build a real human connection with us not only by sharing his professional journey from Norfolk, VA to Jacksonville, FL but also by sharing his own personal journey even introducing us to his wonderful wife Tiffany and their beautiful kids: Dominick, Monick and Jada.

Median home sale prices in the four-county metro Detroit region increased by 41 percent year over year, continuing their upward swing, although sales in the region only nominally increased.
According to data released Monday by Farmington Hills-based Realcomp II Ltd., prices increased from $85,750 in December 2012 to $120,800 last month in the region, which includes Wayne, Oakland, Livingston and Macomb counties.
Wayne County prices increased by 66.7 percent from $45,000 to $75,000, while Macomb (27.7 percent), Oakland (20.8 percent) and Livingston (13.1 percent) counties also improved.
"The market continues to be really hot right now in terms of the lack of inventory, and those prices are continuing to come up," said Karen Kage, CEO of Realcomp.
Yet home sales in the region increased by only 0.2 percent from 4,069 in December 2012 to 4,077 last month, with Macomb (11 percent) and Oakland (9.3 percent) being the only two counties to experience increased sales.
The small increase in sales in the region, however, is an improvement from November, when year-over-year sales were down by nearly 8 percent.
Homes in December also spent fewer days on the market than they did in December 2012, decreasing from 77 days to 49 days last month, according to Realcomp.
"The market is so hot that whatever comes on the market sells," Kage said.
December caps off a year in which the residential real estate market experienced significant gains. In November, median home sales prices increased by more than 41 percent over November 2012 numbers. That followed an October in which the prices increased by nearly 42 percent in the region.

Medtronic Initiates Landmark Study Of Neurostimulation Therapy For Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
First Patients Treated in Global Clinical Trial Evaluating Impact of Therapy on Predominant Low Back Pain
Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE: MDT) have announced the start of PROMISE, a Prospective, Randomized Study of Multicolumn Implantable Lead Stimulation for Predominant Low Back Pain. This is the first-ever, large-scale study comparing the effectiveness of Medtronic neurostimulation therapy with Specify® 5-6-5 multicolumn surgical leads plus optimal medical management (OMM) to the administration of OMM alone in patients with failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) and predominant low back pain.
"Chronic pain is a clinically challenging and often debilitating condition for which oral medications may provide insufficient relief," said Bart Edmiston, M.D., principal investigator for the PROMISE study at The Neuroscience Center in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, which enrolled the study's first patient on January 8. "The PROMISE study will add to the growing body of evidence supporting Medtronic neurostimulation therapy, a well-established therapeutic approach, for the patients worldwide who continue to experience low back pain following back surgery."
It is estimated that more than 100 million U.S. adults1 and one in five European adults2 live with chronic pain. Back pain is the most prevalent type of chronic pain, affecting approximately 10 percent of the U.S. population alone.3 FBSS is defined as persistent or recurring pain in the back or legs following one or more spine surgeries. The majority of FBSS patients receive physical rehabilitation and/or oral medications to help manage their pain, but studies and clinical experience find that many of these patients will not sufficiently improve and will require additional interventions.4
Medtronic neurostimulation therapy (also known as spinal cord stimulation, or SCS) is a widely established treatment option for chronic back and/or leg pain that has been used to treat more than 250,000 people worldwide. It uses a medical device to deliver mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord to block pain signals from reaching the brain.
PROMISE is a prospective, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, clinical study enrolling up to 300 individuals suffering from predominant chronic low back pain due to FBSS at 30 centers in the United States , Canada and Europe (Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, The Netherlands and The United Kingdom). It is the first large-scale, randomized, controlled clinical trial designed to assess the value of SCS for predominant low back pain with leg pain using a surgical lead, in contrast to previous studies of this technology, which have focused on predominant leg pain.
"Spinal cord stimulation has become an increasingly valued treatment approach in chronic pain, and we look forward to participating in the latest study," said Philippe Rigoard, M.D., the study's global principal investigator, who started enrolling patients January 14 at Poitiers University Hospital in Poitiers, France. "If the PROMISE results are positive, they will provide critically needed relief for those patients suffering from chronic low back pain associated with FBSS." PROMISE participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive treatment with either SCS with OMM or OMM only. After a six-month observational phase, the study will compare the proportion of participants in the SCS group who report more than 50 percent reduction in low back-pain intensity, as measured by the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, with those in the OMM-only group.
Health care utilization data collected will be used to develop cost analysis models for potential use in future studies evaluating the long-term economic impact of SCS.
"Medtronic is committed to advancing the understanding of its neurostimulation therapy in patients with low back pain resulting from FBSS," said Julie Foster, general manager and vice president, Pain Stimulation and Targeted Drug Delivery in the Neuromodulation business of Medtronic, Inc. "PROMISE provides the opportunity to assess not only the degree of pain relief provided by SCS plus OMM compared to OMM alone in failed back surgery patients, but also to evaluate the economic and quality of life impact of this treatment by looking at such important measures as sleep, ability to work and changes in pain medication."
More information about the PROMISE study, including enrollment information, can be obtained here.

Next to skin cancer, breast cancer is the most-commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the United States.
Breast cancer is cancer that begins with the formation of a malignant tumor in the breast.
A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that can grow into nearby tissues or spread (metastasize) to other areas of the body.
After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most-commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the United States.
One in eight women will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS).
The ACS also reports that breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, with lung cancer being the first.
Male Breast Cancer
While breast cancer almost entirely affects women, it can also occur in men.
In fact, the National Cancer Institute reports that there about 2,300 new cases of breast cancer in men each year in the United States, compared with about 230,000 new cases in women.
Male breast cancer makes up less than 1 percent of all cases of breast cancer, and men of any age can develop the disease. However, it's usually found in men between 60 and 70 years old.
Breast cancer in men is sometimes caused by inherited genetic mutations. Other risk factors include radiation exposure, high levels of estrogen, and a family history of the disease.
Lumps are usually present, and can be felt, in men with breast cancer. Further tests that examine the breasts are used to diagnose the disease.
Survival rates for men with breast cancer are similar to those for women with the disease.
Breast Cancer Survival Rate
Breast cancer rates in women were on the rise for more than two decades (possibly due to the increased use of mammograms), but in 2000 the rates began decreasing, with a 7 percent drop from 2002 to 2003, according to the ACS.
The decline in use of hormone replacement therapy to treat symptoms of menopause is thought to be behind this decrease.
A Women's Health Initiative study published in 2003 linked the use of hormone therapy to an increased risk of breast cancer.
In addition, death rates from breast cancer have been on the decline since 1989, especially among women under 50.
Earlier detection through screening and increased awareness, as well as a better understanding of the disease and improved treatment, are believed to be responsible for this decline.
The ACS states that there are currently more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States, including women still receiving treatment, and those who are done with treatment.

UPDATE: Activision has replied with a short statement on Bowling's exit.
"We sincerely thank Robert for his many years of service. He's been a trusted and valued member of the Infinity Ward team. We wish him all the best on his decision to pursue future opportunities."
Does that sound at all to you like the sort of thing a company not quite expecting this type of thing to happen might say? Read that way to me, anyway, but maybe I'm off-base.
In a startling bit of news that pretty much just happened, Robert Bowling, the longtime creative strategist for the Call of Duty brand at Activision and developer Infinity Ward, has announced he is resigning from his current position.
No reason was given for the announcement, but the terms were absolutely clear. He stated as follows:
Today, I resign from my position as Creative Strategist of Call of Duty, as a lead of Infinity Ward, and as an employee of Activision.
Bowling had been with Activision since 2006, working early on in the franchise's existence as a community manager, and eventually rising up to become the most recognizable face associated with the brand. For all intents and purposes, he has been Call of Duty's primary mouthpiece since the Modern Warfare era began, especially in the time following the exit of Infinity Ward founders Vince Zampella and Jason West, who went on to found Respawn Entertainment.
We've reached out to Activision for an official statement regarding Bowling's exit. We'll update this story should they respond.

PORTSMOUTH- Santa and his reindeer will make an early appearance along the Piscataqua River Saturday afternoon as the jolly man in red water-skis through the waterway and raises awareness and money for local organizations helping families this holiday season.
The event will start at noon near the Isle of Shoals Steamship Company salt piles with music, food and a festive atmosphere intended to get the expected crowd of 300 to 500 people in the spirit of giving.
Co-founder and event organizer, Alex Marshal, said he and a group of friends decided last year that even though the summer season was over, it wasn't quite time to put the water skis away. They get dressed up and hit the water as the familiar Christmas characters in what he called a "guerrilla-style" attempt at the event. This year, the hope is that word gets out and people will, too.
Together, they decided on local charities and organizations to help out, including End 68 Hours of Hunger and the Table of Plenty, two groups that help those in need of assistance with food. Marshall said they wanted to keep the event and its benefits local to help out families and friends in the Seacoast area.
"There is a lot of need for that stuff," he said.
The parking lot, he said, will be fully "decked out" with holiday decorations to create a festive and warm atmosphere for anyone who stops by to donate food or monetary gifts.
A band will provide music beginning at 1 p.m., water skiing will commence at 2 p.m. and end just before 4 p.m. when the band will start playing again and the event winds down.
Sponsors for the event include numerous local businesses such as, Riverside and Pickering Marine, Portsmouth Harbor Towing, Fosters Downeast Clambake and Catering, Sperry Tents, Dynamic Solutions Construction, The Greens Keeper Landscaping, Centrix Bank, The Yankee Clipper, Blue Dolphin Screenprinting and Embroidery, Flat Bread Pizzeria, Keith Barnett, and Portsmouth Sign Company.
A dunk tank will be available for spectators to try and dunk The Grinch and a bouncy house will be in the parking lot free of charge for children. Donation bins resembling Santa's house will be set up where all canned goods are to be brought. An apparel sale tent with Santa Ski 2012 logo'd items benefiting Santa Ski New England will cover expenses paid for the event and all proceeds from food and beverage sales will go toward local foodbanks. Christmas trees with lights and ornaments will decorate the parking lot are and each tree will be given to a family in need.
Santa(s) swap reindeer for water skis to help those in need
PORTSMOUTH- Santa and his reindeer will make an early appearance along the Piscataqua River Saturday afternoon as the jolly man in red water-skis through the waterway and raises awareness and money for local organizations helping families this holiday season.

BlackBerry Torch 9800 Manual / User Guide
This is the official BlackBerry Torch 9800 User Guide in English provided from the manufacturer. If you are looking for detailed technical specifications, please see our Specs page.
RIM BlackBerry Torch 9800 is a phone for all those customers who wanted something of both worlds – a multi-touch screen and RIM's renown QWERTY keyboard design. The device will feature a 3.2-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 360x480 pixels (not exactly groundbreaking stuff), 512MB RAM, 5MP camera, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and quad-band 3G. The design and hardware of the BlackBerry Torch seem great for the most part, but equally impressive should be the software that will be employed in the new smartphone. First before most we should mention the brand new web browser that will support tabs and pinch-to-zoom. RIM's acclaimed messaging/email prowess are of course present, along with much improved social networking and multimedia capabilities, which will all be part of the new BlackBerry 6 operating system that will be powering the Torch.

Lookbook Photos of Erin Wasson and Zadig & Voltaire Collaboration, Erin Meets Zadig
A First Look at Erin Wasson's Collaboration with Zadig & Voltaire
>> Erin Wasson's new collaboration — the Erin Meets Zadig line, done with French luxury lifestyle brand Zadig & Voltaire — is set to be introduced during Paris Couture Week in July. The presentation will have a strong musical element, according to Zadig & Voltaire founder Thierry Gillier, which comes as no surprise — when Wasson designed her RVCA line, those presentations often had a live band performance; the last two involved Gang Gang Dance and Yeasayer.
But the similarities between her RVCA and Zadig & Voltaire collaborations stop there, Wasson says: "Zadig & Voltaire is a sophisticated French brand. I was aware of this difference [from RVCA] when we started developing the collection. We worked with more luxurious fabrics and materials." Erin Meets Zadig was inspired by "life, classic cars, and Rod Stewart," Wasson adds: "The collection feels almost sensual. I wanted it to be about basic shapes with subtle texture."
Wasson features in the Zadig & Voltaire Spring 2011 and Fall 2011 ad campaigns, as well as the lookbook for Erin Meets Zadig, shot by Fred Meylan in the Hamptons (a few images in the slideshow). Gillier notes: "Erin's capsule is really different from what we are doing today. It allows us to offer an even more distinctive product. We are rock 'n' roll, but Erin is even more rock 'n' roll."
The 15-piece offering, which includes a studded suede jacket, leather pants, a cashmere jumpsuit, and a python bag and boots, ranges from 90 euros ($120) for a cotton tank to 1,050 euros ($1,400) for a foal skin coat. It will be launched exclusively on Net-a-Porter in September, before rolling out in 80 Zadig & Voltaire stores worldwide. Though it was originally intended to be a one-off, the capsule collection could evolve into another type of project in coming seasons, Gillier said: "We are already exploring different ideas to do something new next season with her and with other people."

Cliff Mass, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington, recently posted some eye-opening graphics about computers used by national forecasters.
The post came after a forecast model run by the European forecast center (ECMWF) kicked the tail of the U.S. model (Global Forecast System) in regard to both Hurricane Sandy and the recent blizzard that struck the northeastern United States.
In both cases the European model showed a clear severe storm threat to the northeastern United States five days out where the American model did not.
"Disappointing," Mass concludes.
If you're interested, I also recently interviewed one of the top European modelers about some of reasons why they've become so successful.
However, what's really interesting is his discussion of one reason why the European model fared so much better, and how little this country spends on modeling short-term and medium-term forecasts. Here's the first graphic:
As you can see, the United States runs its model with about 10 percent of the computing capacity as the best in the world.
Here's more from Mass:
Yes, we are talking about the richest nation in the world, and one of the most vulnerable to severe weather.
What makes this even worse is that the U.S. has such a large area (including Alaska, Hawaii, the U.S. mainland, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands).
Got your juices going yet? You haven't seen anything!
Let's compare the computer power availability for operational numerical weather prediction in the NWS to that available to its parent agency, NOAA, for weather research. The NWS operational machine is dwarfed by the NOAA computers that are available for research. The new NOAA Fairmont machine is five times more powerful, and the NOAA Earth Systems Research Lab/Global Systems Division has TWO far bigger machines. So operational prediction, which saves lives and promotes the economy of the nation, gets crippled by lack of computer power, while researchers get the big machines. Folks, some administrators in NOAA are making very bad decisions. And their bosses in the Department of Commerce are going along with it.
What really upsets Mass is that NOAA is using most of its computer muscle for climate simulations rather than forecasting.
Climate-dedicated computers dwarf operational weather prediction computer capacity, he says, so much so that it's difficult to see the weather's service's computer resources available for operational weather prediction. He believes climate simulations have about 500 times the power available to forecast modeling (NOAA/NWS Operational in the graphic below).
To be fair, climate modeling for the globe over long time scales requires more computing power than does running a 16-day forecast model every six hours. And it is very important for us to have the best understanding possible of how human activity is, and will change the climate. But I'm not sure the resources are shared proportionately given the daily reliance in this country and around the world on accurate weather forecasting.
Mass concludes:
Folks, this is outrageous. Weather prediction is critical for the U.S. economy and for public safety. And even if you are worried about climate change, the number one thing one needs to encourage resilience in a changing climate is to have good weather prediction! What is the logic for giving climate research hundreds of times more computer power than weather prediction? It makes no sense from a rational viewpoint.
A big part of the problem is that NOAA management has decided to put priority on the oceans and climate while they short-change weather prediction. This has been a deliberate and long-term policy. Unfortunately, the U.S. Congress has not reined them in. The irony is that NOAA understands how important and popular the National Weather Service is and demands that NWS products have NOAA stamped all over it–while draining critical resources the NWS requires to do a proper job.
Mass also suggests some of the recovery funds for Hurricane Sandy, about $50 million would do the trick, be used to address the operational modeling deficiencies at the National Weather Service.
Computer power is not the only reason why the GFS has not done as well as the European model during recent events. Other important elements of forecast modeling including the quality of physics to model atmospheric processes, the speed at which data and satellite observations can be incorporated into the model, as well as other factors. But make no mistake, more computing power would improve the premiere American forecast model, and give us better weather information.
