I forgot to mention in my last post the other thing I need to give up for Lent, MEDIA. I admit it, I'm disgustingly addicted to my phone and to social media. I start out telling myself that I am going to do a little networking for my Damsel in Defense business, maybe even snag a few pictures to use on my Facebook page. Next thing I know, it's hours later and I haven't even booked a party. All I did was look at pictures of cats and get into arguments with strangers. Even worse, I ignored my kids, sending the horrible and clear message that my phone comes first. Not them, my precious gifts from God, but a piece of plastic and internet strangers. Yuck.
So starting Wednesday, I'm going offline, sort of. I will still blog, I will still do Facebook parties (I have some scheduled, and I can't not work). I will not hang out in the groups, I will not obsessively check my news feed, I will not go to the various humor sites I enjoy. I will limit the blogging/ Facebook party, work-related stuff to 60 minutes per day. I will have a timer next to my computer.
Going a step further, the TV will stay off. Even though we don't have cable, the TV seems to stay on all day, every day, and the noise makes it hard for me to focus. So, no PBS Kids, no Netflix, no DVDs, even the educational ones. I will somehow figure out how to keep the younger kids quiet and entertained while I'm working with the older kids, and that will be the biggest hurtle. The exception to the no TV/DVD rule is my yoga workout DVDs. I've made a commitment to do yoga every day, and the DVDs are helpful to me.
Saying no to media/electronics will be a real test, but I believe the blessings will be IMMENSE. More time focused on family? More time to read Scriptures? More time to write letters to far off friends and family? All good things to come out of fasting from electronics 🙂
For further reading on the subject of giving up TV/Internet, I strongly suggest you read the book "7, An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess" by Jen Hatmaker

James Harrison, the offseason acquisition from Pittsburgh, has been mostly invisible for the first half of the season. But the linebacker just made this outstanding juggling interception against the rival Browns, then nearly took it to the house for a touchdown. And the Bengals needed this. Down 13-0 following another Andy Dalton pick-six, this Harrison pick completely turned the game around. Soon after the pick, Dalton found Jermaine Gresham for a 25-yard touchdown, cutting the deficit to 13-7. Cincinnati can't lose again, not with the Steelers and Ravens winning right now.

The Mayor's Office of Victims Services on Tuesday awarded a $50,000 planning grant to the Rainbow Response Coalition, the local grassroots advocacy organization focusing on LGBTQ intimate partner violence, to help address domestic violence in the District's growing LGBTQ community.
The grant, known as the Cultural Capacity and Language Access Grant, is a six-month planning award that will be used to design and carry out a District-wide education and outreach campaign focusing on healthy relationships in the LGBTQ communities, which have struggled with a rise in domestic violence in recent years.
"What we know is that roughly 33 percent of all LGBTQ people will be a victim of partner violence in their lifetime," June Crenshaw, chair of Rainbow Response, said in a statement. "Our city and our communities are in need of immediate response and this is an exciting opportunity to bring much needed community and educational awareness to LGBTQ intimate partner violence."
"Dating and partner violence is a serious issue within our community," added Paul Ashton, board member and research committee chair of Rainbow Response. "Our research findings are on par with what is experienced in heterosexual relationships and warrants our community's needed attention and focus to ensure that all survivors, particularly LGBTQ survivors of partner violence, have adequate resources and services available to help them."
The outreach and education campaign will be tailored to address the specific needs and concerns of LGBTQ survivors of intimate partner violence, stalking or sexual assault. Initiatives or events carried out by the campaign will include a website to serve as a resource for victims, three town hall forums, and two youth poetry slams.
"This grant is a true testament to our work and devotion over the years," Crenshaw said in her statement. "Promoting education around healthy relationships is at the heart of Rainbow Response's mission. We'd like to thank the Mayor's Office of Victims Services for this award and the D.C. Coalition Against Domestic Violence for their support on this issue and our organization."
For more information on Rainbow Response, visit www.rainbowresponse.org or contact Paul Ashton at firstname.lastname@example.com.

On Thu, Apr 26, 2012 at 5:06 PM, Janina Sajka <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > janina: wonderful statement in there is that this can already happen and people are already doing to That implies people are using @hidden to hide elements that they intend to include in accessible names and descriptions, but I haven't seen any documented examples of that usage in the wild. It would strengthen both Jonas's and Cynthia's proposals to include such documentation. Do you have any examples? Jonas argues that authors who do not read the spec or use the conformance checkers will use @hidden to hide elements expecting them to contribute to accessible names and descriptions. This is plausible. But it's also plausible that such authors might use @hidden with the intent of hiding elements even from accessible names and descriptions. For example, @aria-describedby might reference text that has the @hidden attribute until it is relevant to the state of the application, for example error text. Consider the following example Username: <input id=username name=username aria-describedby=error>
Invalid username. Must be six or more alphanumeric characters.
 If "hidden" means never ever render the content, then the error message doesn't get included in accessible description calculation until the error occurs and the "hidden" attribute removed. If "hidden" means do not render the content except for ARIA name and description calculation, then the error message is inappropriately included regardless of the actual state of the application. I've certainly seen lots of author confusion about whether display: none should hide or show content to screen readers. Maybe Jonas's scenario is more likely, I don't know. It would be good to have some data around this. > JF: I asked Ben before to give us the actual quotes from the specs that he says we are contradicting > > <janina> mike: See he's clearly saying "it violates the spec," but doesn't tell us where/how I already sent an email responding to John's previous request for detail that explains at length why I think the text in the CP contradicts the HTML and ARIA specifications: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2012Apr/0166.html Sorry for not including a link to that email in my email expressing my objection.

Moroccan Moules Frites
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Traditional Moules Frites get a playful twist with Moroccan spices, bold harissa, and fresh mint. I made this recipe with sherry, but Columbia Winery's Chardonnay works just as well with the warm spices of cinnamon, ginger, and coriander featured in the mussels. Note: While I provide a recipe for homemade frites, if you prefer to avoid the fryer, you can also serve these mussels with a crispy baguette. —Brooke Bass | Chocolate + Marrow
Serves 2
For the frites:
- 3 medium Russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut into long 1/2 inch strips (or smaller, depending on preferences)
- 50 ounces canola or other neutral-tasting oil
- Salt to taste
- Rinse the potato strips in a bowl filled with cold water, changing the water several times. Lay them out on paper towels and pat dry, doing your best to get as much moisture out of them as possible.
- Fill a fryer or a Dutch oven with canola oil, at least 2 to 3 inches high. Heat over medium heat until oil reaches 300 to 325° F. Add 1 to 2 heaping handfuls of the potatoes and cook until you notice them just beginning to turn lightly golden on the edges and the texture starts to look slightly more puffy, about 5 to 7 minutes. It's important to make sure the oil temperature is right—too low and the fries will absorb too much oil; too high and they'll cook unevenly. Also, the potatoes will bubble and pop roughly in the hot oil, so be careful while handling. Work in batches while you fry so that the potatoes aren't overcrowded. If you add too many at a time, the temperature of the oil will drop too quickly and your frites will turn out too oily. After each batch is finished, remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain.
- Preheat oven to 200° F.
- Once you're ready for the second fry, increase the heat to medium-high until it reaches approximately 350 to 375° F. Add the first-fried potatoes back into the now very hot oil, one to two handfuls at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. (Again, work in batches here and be sure not to overcrowd the pan.) Remove with a slotted spoon and rest either on paper towels or a wire rack to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
- If you're too engrossed in cooking the frites to worry about the mussels, spread the finished frites out onto a wire wrack and place in the preheated oven for up to 30 minutes while you prepare the mussels.
For the mussels:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 shallots
- 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground paprkia
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup dry sherry or Chardonnay
- 1 1/2 cups seafood stock
- 2 teaspoons harissa, plus more for garnish
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound live mussels, scrubbed and debearded
- Fresh mint, for garnish
- In a large pot or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until they begin to turn translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the saffron threads, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, ginger, paprika, and salt, then increase the heat to medium-high and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add the sherry to the pan and continue to cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Once nearly all of the sherry liquid has cooked down, add the seafood stock, harissa, butter, and stir. Reduce the heat to medium, add the mussels, and cover he pot or pan with a tight fitting lid. Continue simmering the liquid until all of the mussels have opened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Spoon the mussels and broth into bowls, discarding any unopened mussels. Garnish with mint and additional harissa, if desired, and serve with a crusty baguette or fresh frites.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

The Lichtenberger Laterofixation is a modern technique of treating glottic stenosis, avoiding tracheotomy in many cases. There is a definitive and a temporary subtype. We report results and complications with both modalities in our patients.
Patients and methods: Between 2005 and 2007, 24 patients with bilateral vocal cord paralysis have been treated using the Lichtenberger–technique. A definitive laterofixation was performed in 17 cases, in 7 patients the temporary technique was applied. 2 patients had a tracheotomy before the operation. 12 complete data sets with a sufficient follow up period of more than 12 weeks could be collected. Corticosteroids, broad-spectrum antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors were administered perioperatively. Sutures were removed 21 days after surgery. Subjective quality of voice as well as respiration was documented using german school grades (1=best, 6=worst). Dyspnoea was evaluated using the New York Heart Association (NYHA) scale.
Results: Mean follow-up was 13.9 months. Within this period, a mean NYHA-increase of 1.6 points could be observed (3.6 before vs. 2.0 after surgery). Mean improvement of respiration was 2.3 points (4.5 before vs. 2.2 after surgery). Voice self-assessment decreased by 0.4 points only (2.9 before vs. 3.3 after surgery). Perioperative short-term tracheotomy was required in 1 case. In both patients with tracheostomy prior to laterofixation surgical closure of the stoma became possible.
Conclusion: Laterofixation according to Lichtenberger is a reliable method of treating glottic stenosis of neuogenic origin. While the rate of complications is low, in most cases a satisfying compromise between dyspnoea and dysphonia can be achieved.

Daisy Rock Girl Guitars Welcomes Amanda and Travis Marsh to its Artist Roster

Daisy Rock Girl Guitars Welcomes Amanda and Travis Marsh to its Artist Roster
LOS ANGELES, CA – January 24, 2013
Daisy Rock Girl Guitars, the original girl guitar company, welcomes to its artist roster siblings Amanda and Travis Marsh, together making up the musical duo Nightsky Drive.
Amanda (singer-songwriter) and Travis (guitar) create a sound with elements of rock, country, pop, and indie rock. They first realized their potential as a duo with the release of Amanda's 2009 debut EP, Love Is In the Details. The EP received a Mavric Music Award for "Song of the Year: Collaboration," and paved the way for performances at Austin's South by South West festival and the Country Music Association's Music Fest. This year, Nightsky Drive opened up for solo country artist Collin Raye on his tour through California.
Amanda cites bands like Fleetwood Mac and Lady Antebellum as influential in the style of music that she and Travis make, pointing out the success both bands have had incorporating male and female vocals. Musically, nothing is off limits when it comes to the creative process for the pair of siblings. Their eclectic variety of influences makes it difficult to pigeonhole their sound or style, something that they both attribute to their strong, yet opposite personalities.
"Sometimes you just gotta sign the sister and the brother, their sound is that entwined! Their emotional attachment as siblings projects and transcends right through their music and makes it sound like something that only that kind of connection can create," says Tish Ciravolo, President and Founder of Daisy Rock Girl Guitars.
Help us welcome Amanda and Travis by checking out their website!

CBS Sports' Jeff Goodman is reporting that former Xavier guard Mark Lyons visited UK on Monday and is expected to be back in town tonight.
His tweet: "Xavier transfer Mark Lyons visited Kentucky yesterday and sources told CBSSports he is expected to return to Lexington tonight."
Lyons started alongside Tu Holloway at guard last year for the Muskies, who reached the NCAA Sweet 16 before losing to Baylor, a round before Baylor lost to Kentucky.
After a controversial and tumultuous season, however, Lyons and Xavier coach Chris Mack met and decided that Lyons would be better off spending his final season of eligibility elsewhere. Lyons is reportedly considering Kentucky, Kansas and Arizona.
Lyons told the Cincinnati Enquirer that his departure was a business decision:
"After the Baylor game, I wanted to come back and finish (at Xavier) with my brothers, but I had to do what was best for my family financially. It was a business decision," Lyons said.
There is still some uncertainty whether Lyons would be eligible next season.

Last night, I upgraded my windows 7 to windows 10 on my desktop. Everything was going smooth, but after restarting machine, login screen was stuck when click on Next button (at right bottom). There was no error message pop-up and computer was restarting after 10-15 minutes. This was weird behavior and there was no clue, what was going behind the scene.
After searching on google, I found a discussion forum, where somebody suggested click "Next" button from keyboard only, which didn't work for me. Finally, another suggestion about disabling WiFi adapter and restart the machine worked for me.
I removed USB WiFi adaptor and after click on Next button, it continues.
If you end up with similar situation, then it is worthwhile to try this trick.

Hi we are Ziggy and Mary, we live with Stacy in
Ashland. She really runs the business, we are just responsible for checking with everyone who walks by our house on what plays are great and where the best food is. We are pretty shy so you may not see us, but we are up on what is happening in Ashland.
Stacy Fountain purchased this cottage in 2005
The best location in town, we can sit on our porch and see downtown and talk to all the visitors going by.
It's really quiet here and we have great neighbors. Only nice dogs walk on our block and they stay on their leashes. Being kitties, we consider that a plus. Come check out our area for yourself.
We come to Ashland twice a year and have tried several rentals over the years. Often we're here with my mother and whenever we need a two bedroom home, Stacy's is our favorite. Perfect distance from the Main Street businesses and OSF. Clean, comfortable, quiet and has everything we need. Stacy is a wonderful host and we highly recommend this rental.
Our second time staying at Stacy's and we felt very comfortable and at home. It is cozy, which was good for our group discussions and projects. It is SO conveniently located, perfect for getting to town, plays, the Ashland Food Co op and the bike path.
Stacy's 2nd Street Cottages are perfectly located and give easy access to just about everything Ashland has to offer. We didn't even need a car. The house is charming and very well maintained, the beds are comfortable with lots of pillows to choose from and the WiFi signal is strong. Stacy stays in the background but if you have questions or any problems she is very responsive (we lost our WiFi signal in a thunder storm and she reset the router within minutes of our call).
This was our eighteenth annual trip to Ashland for the Shakespeare Festival. I think this cottage has become our favorite place to stay. We particularly liked spending time in the garden.
The cottage was clean and convenient to the main district. We especially liked spending time out in the patio. We would go there again. Nancy
This is our second time staying at Stacy's 2nd Street Cottage and I almost hesitate to review it because I'm afraid if everyone knows what a great place it is, I won't be able to get future reservations!! Two bedrooms that worked great for us with our two grown sons (twin beds in the second room). The kitchen is fully equipped and I love being able to cook since we need to eat gluten-free. I bring my own toaster because of the gf issue, but otherwise, everything we need is there. Visiting the cats each evening is a nice bonus since we miss ours when traveling. Great access to the theaters and stores - walked everywhere.
Located within blocks of Shakespeare festival, downtown plaza. Multiple dining and shopping options. Fully licensed BL008302

A mum and dad have given life-saving equipment to the school their teenage son attended before he died.
Supporting cardiac charity SADS UK's Big Shock Campaign, Tracey and Stephen Spooner have raised thousands of pounds in honour of son Joe, 15, who lived in Newbold. They were keen to assist Bilton School with a defibrillator as they understand how important the equipment is and wanted the school to benefit from having a defibrillator on the premises.
Anne Jolly, founder of SADS UK, the Ashley Jolly SAD Trust, said: "SADS UK is pleased that Bilton School will benefit from having a defibrillator on the premises to restart the heart if there is a cardiac arrest on the premises. Using CPR alone provides a five per cent chance of survival but using the defibrillator as well increases the chance of survival to over 50 per cent. This is why SADS UK is so passionate about putting this lifesaving equipment in place."
A defibrillator is the only piece of equipment that will restore the heart's rhythm. If a person goes into cardiac arrest, it is crucial that the person is administered a therapeutic shock delivered by the defibrillator as quickly as possible.

Launch of SBIRS GEO-2 satellite boosts nation's early warning launch detection capabilities
The United States' ballistic missile early warning launch detection and missile defense capabilities received a big boost March 19.
That's when the U.S. Air Force's second Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO-2) satellite, built by Lockheed Martin, launched successfully from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
Considered one of the nation's highest priority space programs, SBIRS is designed to provide global, persistent, infrared and taskable surveillance capabilities to meet 21st Century demands in the areas of missile warning, missile defense, technical intelligence and battlespace awareness.
The SBIRS constellation is designed to deliver timely, reliable, accurate and vital missile warning information to a host of officials, including the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense, combatant commanders, joint task force commanders, the intelligence community and other key decision makers.
"Launching the SBIRS GEO-2 satellite into the SBIRS constellation is absolutely critical for our national security and stands as a proud accomplishment for our government and industry team," said Mark Valerio, vice president and general manager of Military Space for Lockheed Martin Space Systems. "This launch will significantly enhance resilient space-based infrared surveillance capabilities for the United States and its allies at a time when the capability is growing all the more essential."
The SBIRS architecture encompasses hosted sensor payloads in Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO), dedicated Geosynchronous Earth Orbiting (GEO) satellites and associated ground infrastructure to receive, process and deliver the infrared information to key decision makers.
SBIRS GEO-2 boasts advanced scanning and staring sensors that will provide enhanced infrared sensitivity and a reduction in area revisit times over the current constellation. The scanning sensor will provide a wide-area surveillance of missile launches and natural phenomena across the earth, while the staring sensor will observe smaller areas of interest with superior sensitivity.
The SBIRS team is led by the Infrared Space Systems Directorate at the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center. Lockheed Martin is the SBIRS prime contractor, Northrop Grumman is the payload integrator. Air Force Space Command operates the SBIRS system.
Lockheed Martin's SBIRS contracts include four HEO payloads, four GEO satellites, and ground assets to receive, process, and disseminate the infrared mission data. The team has also begun procuring long lead parts for the fifth and sixth GEO satellites. HEO payloads and the first GEO satellite have already launched into orbit.

Serbs Protest Toxic Pollution
(RFE/RL) November 18, 2006 -- Residents of an industrial zone in Serbia today protested against pollution containing cancer-causing chemicals.
Hundreds of citizens in the town of Pancevo were calling for urgent action to stop benzene and chlorine emissions from a local petrochemical plant.
Earlier this week, pollution from the plant was so strong that it triggered a public alarm, causing residents to stay indoors.
The plant was bombed during the 1999 NATO air campaign during the Kosovo conflict, causing air and land contamination. The UN subsequently designated the area an environmental hazardous zone.
The petrochemical plant has since been repaired, but still doesn't have sufficient safety mechanisms to prevent leakages. The government has started legal action against the plant's managers.

The PIC18F "K42" family of microcontrollers consists of 10 highly integrated products — ranging from 16-128 KB of flash memory with package options covering 28-48 pins. This family is equipped with a comprehensive and rich set of Core Independent Peripherals (CIP) and Intelligent Analog features allowing for many functional tasks to be done in hardware – saving code, validation time, core overhead, and power consumption. The MCUs feature a 12-bit ADC with Computation (ADC2), Direct Memory Access (DMA), Vector Interrupt (VI) Controller and other system enhancements. They are ideal for an extensive range of applications and markets, including automotive, industrial control, Internet of Things (IoT), medical and white goods.
The MCUs offer a full suite of Core Independent Peripherals for safety critical applications (Cyclic Redundancy Check with Memory Scan, Windowed Watchdog Timer, 24-bit Signal Measurement Timer, Hardware Limit Timer, Complementary Waveform Generation), up to eight hardware PWMs and multiple communications interfaces. They include a Configurable Logic Cell which integrates hardware functions to simplify and accelerate many common tasks.
The products offer intelligent analog peripherals including Zero Cross Detect (ZCD), on-chip comparator, and a 12-bit ADC with Computation (ADC2) automating Capacitive Voltage Divider (CVD) techniques for advanced touch sensing, averaging, filtering, oversampling, and threshold comparison.
The Direct Memory Access (DMA) Controller eliminates the need for CPU involvement in data transfers between all memory spaces and peripherals, thereby reducing the number of interrupts and improving peripheral performance.
The Vectored Interrupt (VI) reduces response time by providing hardware ensured interrupt latency.
Memory Access Partition (MAP) supports customers in data protection and bootloader applications. Device Information Area (DIA) is a dedicated memory space for factory programmed device ID and peripheral calibration values. Additionally, the MCUs have improved serial communications, including UART with support for Asynchronous, DMX, DALI and LIN protocols along with higher-speed, standalone I2C and SPI serial communication interfaces.
The PIC18F "K42" family will be supported by MPLAB Code Configurator (MCC), a free software plug-in that provides a graphical interface to configure peripherals and functions specific to your application. MCC is incorporated into our award-winning development environments, the down-loadable MPLAB X IDE and the cloud-based MPLAB Xpress IDE.
The Analog to Digital Converter with Computation (ADC2) helps accelerate common math tasks normally done in software by offering modes like averaging, low-pass filter, oversampling and threshold comparison.
The Zero Cross Detect (ZCD) module can monitor AC line voltage, and indicate zero crossing activity. This information is made directly available to on-board Waveform Generation peripherals for use in TRIAC control applications, greatly reducing both CPU demand and BOM cost.
The 10-bit PWM provides edge-aligned output, which can be used with the Complementary Waveform Generator.
Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG) provides a complementary waveform with rising and falling edge dead band control, enabling high efficiency synchronous switching, with no processor overhead. The CWG also incorporates auto shutdown, auto restart, and can interface directly with other peripherals / external inputs.
Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) is a precision linear frequency generator with fine step resolution. It provides high-resolution oscillator capabilities to control applications such as lighting ballast, radio and tone generator.
Data Signal Modulator (DSM) offers smooth signal switching. When paired with 16-bit PWM, LED dimming engine functionality is created.
The Hardware Limit Timer (HLT) can detect faults in motors, power supplies, and other external devices. It can automatically notify the system to make provisions to shut down and/or safely restart.
The 24-bit Signal Measurement Timer (SMT) performs high-resolution measurements of any digital signal in hardware, resulting in near zero latency and high performance when decoding custom communications protocols or signaling.
The Configurable Logic Cell (CLC) offers hardware-based combinational and sequential logic functions to simplify and accelerate many common tasks. The CLC can also be used as "glue" logic between peripherals, eliminating the need for CPU intervention during steady-state activity in complex control loops.
The CRC/SCAN module and the Windowed Watchdog Timer (WWDT) work in tandem to provide engineers with the tools necessary to incorporate functional safety into their application. By ensuring the integrity of the program FLASH contents, PIC18F "K42" devices support the implementation of safety standards such as Class B and UL 1998.
Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) provides ultimate flexibility when routing digital signals to device pins. With PPS, any digital peripheral can be connected to any I/O pin on-the-fly for a customized layout. This allows users to maintain layout compatibility with older PIC® MCUs, even as new features are implemented.
Direct Memory Access (DMA) is used to move data among Flash, EEPROM, RAM and peripherals without intervention from the CPU and in the background of CPU operation.
Memory Access Partition (MAP) supports customers in data protection and bootloader applications. Device Information Area (DIA) is a dedicated memory space for factory programmed device ID and peripheral calibration values.
IDLE and DOZE low-power modes allow applications to optimize device performance and power consumption. The Peripheral Module Disable (PMD) allows unused peripherals to be turned off individually, further reducing power consumption. PIC18F "K42" devices feature the industry leading eXtreme Lower Power (XLP) technology.

|Had my 360 Elite since 2007 and now seriously thinking of going for a trade in against a PS3. Just getting more and more annoyed with the whole system in general. No wifi, Ł40 online charge etc. Not bought Live for the last 2 years as it didn't seem worth it. Only thing putting me off is the thought of losing items I've bought but even that doesn't seem like a big deal now. Would I be gaining a better experience if i went ahead with this ? I think I can get Ł60 trade in at Game which is the only shop near me that does trade ins. I'd probably go online more with it I'm sure. And is Home a good thing or just pointless ? Cheers in advance
Trade in 360 for PS3
Pageof 4 First / Last
What's the question?
I think the PlayStation plus thing as got me thinking about it more. Sounds like a great deal but I'm usually quite sceptical about this type of thing and just keep wondering if it's too good to be true. The other thing I was unsure about is what size to go for. I know u need to install the games but I was hoping I could get away with a 160gb. Wondering if it fills up really quickly .

You would nearly fill 160GB with the current crop of freebies on PS+.
It's well worth it, just wish I'd signed up earlier.
After years of 360 use I find it a great console. Very refreshing.

Made a thread but perhaps this question sits better here:
Just as the next generation of shiny boxes is about to arrive I'm looking to pick up PS3 to replace my 360 to catch up on a few titles I'm itching play - Last Of Us, Journey, Ni No Kuni in particular.
I use my 360 a lot to watch Netflix, Lovefilm and Now TV and the Xbox 360 S model I've got is almost silent, are any PS3 models as quiet? If not, what's the quietest?

Home was always a bit of a toy, other than that, dive in!
I think having both consoles is great. The 360 has always been my mainstay and continues to be so, however the PS3 seems to be getting better all the time. PS+ is a must in my book, and just stunning value.
LIVE still pisses all over PSN from a great height however.
The end of the current gen* is looking mighty fine
My last 3 played games are:
Last of us
...it is a good job I have both machines
Make sure you play:
Heavy Rain
Uncharted series
Infamous series
Resistance series
*I have around 3 years of backlog, so my consoles will be around for a long while yet.
Cheers for the replies. I'm starting to sway to the ps3 now. Just one more thing regarding these freebies u get with PS+, do u still get access to the games if for example u decide not to renew your sub the following year, or is it only while your subscribed?
when you subscribe only.
I'm trying to find someone to swap their PS3 for my 360 as we speak. I regret selling it.

Get a ps3, I got one last weekend and have 11 games downloaded through ps+. Currently playing UC3. I had a 360 for years so now is a great time to play some ps3 titles.
Getting rid if my ps3 and keeping my 360 was the daftest thing I've done in gaming. What a pointless console these days.
I never get these threads.
If you like your 360 and play it, fine. If you like your PS3 and play it, fine. If you like both, fine. The opposite of any of these? Fine.
But why on earth does anyone give a shit?
For a real question...
What's the best way to trade a 360 slim for a ps3 in terms of value for money?
What's the de facto ps3 model at the moment?
And lastly, are there any good 3rd party ps3 controllers with sticks more aligned like the 360 controller?
Thinking about taking a trip to CEX next week and trading in the 360 for a Vita. Looks like I'll have to pay about Ł30.
If you're pissed off at the 360 and fancy sampling what the PS3 has to offer, then I reckon go for it.
I'll have to disagree with Duffman (sorry Duffman!) and say PSN is fine for gaming; true that it doesn't have the same bells and whistles as Live, but the important bit (playing games) works fine. 250 hours of Bad Company 2 multiplayer tells me this!
Most of the differences are a lot smaller between the multiplats than what the raging in internet will tell you. There are some genuine dogs on PS3 (Bayonetta), but the majority aren't that different.
You can't install games to the hard drive like the 360 (probably my fave thing about the console, I can barely tell it's on at times), although a lot of games do require installs, you'll still hear the disc being accessed from time to time. I found Red Dead unplayable as it made my PS3 sound like a typwriter, but that title was poorly optimised for the console, and mines getting old, so probably not in the best of condition.
Home (IMO, of course) is rubbish, but you may enjoy it!
PS+ is definitely worth it, especially to a new owner as you'll have a load of titles for the price of a new game (that all play quietly from hard disc too) to keep you going.
Happy gaming.
I went for it ! Traded in my elite with a speed wheel, extra controller and about 30 games. Got just over Ł159 which let me get a PS3 slim 160gb, with Metal gear 4, Littlebigplanet 2 and a 30 day trial for PS+. Also gave me an extended warranty of another year and I got The Last of Us for Ł20 in a deal as I was getting the console I think. Only needed to put Ł7 towards it all. Nipped next door to cash gen and then got Uncharted 2 for Ł4.99. Love new console day ! . I'd also forgot I'd bought games on my PSP ages ago like FFVII and realised I could download them too !
These unofficial 360 like controllers were selling for Ł12 in my local Sainsbury's store yesterday when I picked up the Last of Us, compared to the DS3 I wanted was still at Ł40, so might be worth a look in stores for some pad deals.
If you want a PS3, go second hand/Ebay.
With months to go before the PS4 I'm sure you can live without a genuine new console, and you'll save a lot of money going down this route.
Unless you absolutely hate buying used stuff you won't find a better deal in GAME or wherever.
Then get all your games of PS+ and Lovefilm.
Personally I'm just interested in single player games. I ditched my XBLG sub about a year ago and have never felt the urge to renew it.
There's a bunch of games on PS3 that I've just watched from the sidelines, and with nothing interesting to me on 360 in the future I'd like to play them.
@steve242526 Where did you trade?
Also I'm looking for new, but I'm willing to trade in my 360 Slim.
I saw these 2 on play.com, can anyone explain the price difference?
Sony PlayStation 3 PS3 Slim Console With 320GB HDD Ł279.89
Sony PlayStation 3 PS3 Super Slim Console With 500GB HDD Ł197
That's quite a big difference. Does the Slim have some kind of benefit over the Super Slim, or is it just some quirk of stock rarity?
PenguinJim wrote:Thanks for the tip; I already have a 128GB SSD I can use, so that would save me some money.
L0cky wrote:It's often possible to grab a 12GB (HDDless) PS3 for around Ł130 (currently Ł140 at a few places), which you can upgrade with a 2.5" HDD easily enough (look out for bargains for, say, 1TB for less than Ł50, or 3TB for about Ł100).
What's the de facto ps3 model at the moment?
Confusingly GAME list a PS3 Slim but show a picture and video of a Super Slim. What are the actual models?
PlayStation 3 12GB Slim
Edited by L0cky at 18:05:11 15-06-2013
@L0cky I traded it all at Game. Not my fave shop but with HMV shut in Scotland, its really the only place on our high street. The deal I went for was Ł149 for 120gb and a choice of 2 , 2 for 20 games. I then noticed that for an extra Ł10 I could upgrade for the 160gb so went for that. Not really going to get chance to play much tonite but I tried littlebigplanet and got my settings up and running. Its great to finally have a WiFi enabled console !
Here you go, a 120GB Slim (plus an extra controller, a headset and 6 old games) has just gone for Ł123.

Ryan Block, former editor-in-chief of Engadget provides a balanced opinion on what he calls the "greatest gadget scoop" he's ever seen.
Without getting into my own interpretation of the (supposed) events that led to the greatest gadget scoop I've ever seen — and whether it was indeed ill-gotten — I think it bears noting that there are almost never scoops in the tech world that are not born out of some illegality. At Engadget, when we'd publish a breaking story that no one else had, what you are actually witnessing was the act of someone betraying their team and breaking their NDA with at least one party (if not sometimes more). For the person providing the scoop, they almost always just broke the law with no ifs, ands, or buts… Publications are well within their journalistic rights to publish this information, but the process behind the scenes isn't always pretty.
You know, he raises a good point. People are all up in arms as if they've never seen a gadget scoop before. Truth be told, the pages of Gizmodo and Engadget are consistently filled with pictures and specs of products that are often published months in advance of their release. And you know what? Most people don't really care about the ethics of those revelations. What makes the iPhone 4G scoop so compelling, though, is that it involved Apple, a company who won't even admit that a rumored product exists. So with all that extra attention and intrigue comes a whole lot of extra scrutiny.
That, however, is only one part of the equation.
Apple's secretive ways aside, Gizmodo's iPhone 4G scoop was unique for another reason. Whereas most scoops are the result of emailed internal documents and blurry photos, Gizmodo's windfall involved the actual acquisition of a prototype device. More than that, Gizmodo paid cold hard cash for a product they reasonably should have assumed could be considered stolen property. So rather than sitting back and casually checking their inbox for emails re: product leaks, Gizmodo made a pro-active effort to obtain a physical product it had no legal right to have in their possession. And that, I feel, is why most people are ridiculously peeved at Gizmodo's actions. Well that and the fact that they published the name of the Apple engineer responsible for losing the device, for presumably no other reason than to generate more page views.
That said, the fall out and shouting matches emanating from Gizmodo's iPhone 4G story remind me of Chris Rock's quip about race in the wake of the OJ Simpson acquittal. "Black people too happy, white people too mad."

Review by Greg Neyman
© Old Earth Ministries
On 16 February 2006 Answers in Genesis announced that they will be publishing a new magazine in the United States, titled Creation Answers.1 Personally, I am thrilled with this announcement, as it will give me more material to provide rebuttals to. When it first comes out, you can find rebuttals to this new magazine on our Creation Answers page. At first I may only provide rebuttals to articles they put on the web. Please stay tuned for more!
Footnote: In a tip of the hat to Old Earth Ministries, Answers in Genesis changed the name of their new magazine to Answers. This was done for search engine efficiency. The problem is that if a person typed in Creation Answers into a search engine, the results would contain many entries from the Old Earth Ministries website, which contains the same two keywords. (At the time of this article, OEM was known as Answers In Creation).

RUFC - What should the Millers run out to?
Rotherham United will start the new season in their new home the New York Stadium and this much longed for return to the town has had Millers fans discussing subjects both on and off the pitch.
One of the subjects recently was the running out song.
In the past we`ve come out to 'Let`s Stick Together`, 'Mighty Quinn` (actually, I could be wrong but I do think with this we might have been the first club to have a 'running out` song), some awful thing that sounded like the air raid sirens, Chelsea Dagger and many more.
I`ve seen a few suggestions from the Star Wars theme to Fanfare for the Common Man - both I would think acceptable unless you want to sing as the teams come out?
Now, this may just be me of course, but with the stadium being called 'New York` isn`t there an obvious choice? Yes, it might not be 'stirring` or even 'uplifting` but I bet ninety-nine per cent of Millers fans do know the words to 'New York, New York` - and three sides of a stadium singing to you, scarves aloft swaying, as you walk out would surely make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
I actually think the club have been a bit lax in not producing a CD of the players singing 'New York, New York` - or at least a Millers version of it.
So what do you think about a running out song? What would you like to hear? And what of a goal scoring song?
Come and tell us here on Vital Rotherham what YOU want to hear.
We understand there`s been a few issues recently with joining up - if you have tried to join Vital Rotherham and not received your log in details then please email - email@example.com who will gladly re-set your account.

The story I heard with yesterday's photo.
I heard the story years ago.
A gold miner had built a dam in Buckhorn Creek, north of Phoenix, east of Wickenburg. He'd put a boat on the resulting body of water to dredge for gold. But a heavy rain caused the dam to fail. The water emptied southeast down the creek, taking the boat with it. It was soon stuck in the sand down the dry wash.
And there it remains.
We flew over it yesterday in Don's helicopter. I'd shown it to him a while back while flying out in that area and he'd tried to relocate it several times since then. Yesterday, I found it for him again and he marked it with his GPS. I shot this photo.
Doesn't look much like a boat, does it? Vandals have been at it rather violently, it seems. And I'm sure more than a few minor floods helped the decay. When I first saw it, it looked like the image about a third of the way down this page, which was dated 2003. You can see an even later photo near the bottom of this page.
I don't know if the story I heard is true. And I don't know when all this happened. I'd love to know more about it, so if you have any ideas or links to additional resources, please share them in this post's comments.
It's a good example, however, of some of the really weird things we fly over out in the Arizona desert.

'Fat pride' challenges supersize stereotypes
Cat Pause proudly describes herself as "fat", can live with euphemisms like "curvy", "chunky" or "chubby", but baulks at what she believes are value-laden labels such as "overweight" or "obese".
The US-born academic is a pioneer in the emerging field of fat studies, organising New Zealand's first conference on the topic at Massey University's Wellington campus on Thursday and Friday.
Fat studies, she explains, is an academic discipline just like history, English or political science, but it examines attitudes towards fat people and challenges the assumption that anyone with a bulging waistline is unhealthy.
At the conference, scholars from as far afield as the United States and Australia discussed papers such as "Fat hatred and the Left in the time of 'the obesity epidemic'" and "The role of diagnosis in marginalising corpulence".
"One of the reasons we're so fearful and hateful of fat is that we believe we can read people's bodies," Pause told AFP.
"So when people look at a fat body like mine, it tells them I'm unhealthy and that this is a diseased body. It tells them I don't ever exercise and eat nothing but junk."
Pause said the reality is that some people are just bigger than others and fat studies highlighted the need for society to accept the fact, rather than constantly judging fat people and pushing them to lose weight.
One of its first tasks, she said, was to reclaim the word "fat" so it was not used solely as an insult, in much the same way the gay community adopted the term "queer".
People now call themselves fat activists and speak of fat pride, refusing to accept what they say is pressure from the multi-billion weight loss industry to strive for a skinny ideal.
This explains Pause's aversion to "overweight", which she says implies she is above her perfect weight. She says she has not weighed herself for years and last time she did she tipped the scales at about 130 kilograms (237 pounds).
Similarly, she says "obesity" is a term "used by the medical community to pathologise fat bodies, making it a disease".
Massey University lecturer Andrew Dickson said the weight-loss industry was built around exploiting the insecurities of fat people.
"We know 95 percent of people who attempt to lose weight will fail to do so, therefore, there is not a weight-loss industry, what they do is sell solutions to weight anxiety," he said.
"We're getting this horrible, obsessive anxiety about weight issues."
Dickson himself said he had never been as stressed as when he reduced his weight from 130 kilograms to 86, obsessively completing endurance runs, dieting constantly and taking prescription medicines to slim down.
Now weighing 100 kilograms, Dickson says he is healthy even though conventional weight charts would classify him as obese, still running about 60 kilometres (37 miles) a week and referring to himself as "the fat athlete".
"I don't do them fast and I'm never going to win… (but) it's not all about looking like Usain Bolt," he said.
Critics say asserting that obesity is not necessarily a major health problem flies in the face of medical evidence about diseases such as diabetes and other issues, a claim disputed by fat activists.
"It's not just how much you weigh for your height, it's where it (fat) is in the liver, pancreas, and places that you can't see," Auckland University of Technology nutritionist Elaine Rush told TVNZ this week.
The fat issues movement, while addressing serious issues, is not without a strain of self-deprecating humour.
Dickson lobbies running clubs to introduce a "Clydesdale class" for hefty athletes, while Pause has a set of bathroom scales from the US where the numbers have been replaced with words like "hot", "perfect" and "sexy".
In the Australian city of Melbourne, a synchronised swimming club for fat women has been set up called Aquaporko.\
"If you didn't laugh, you'd cry, we'd all go crazy," said Pause.
Australian activist Kath Read, who blogs as "Fat Heffalump", said many of the jibes directed her way were far from good natured.
"I barely go through a day where I'm not called something nasty on the street by a stranger," she said.
"It's not the kind of people, like teenagers, that you'd expect to be (doing the) abusing. It's by people in business suits, by women my own age — I'm almost 40 — by people you'd expect, on the face of it, to be respectable human beings."
Pause said there were laws against racism and sexism but discrimination against fat people was just as commonplace and was not just tolerated but, in a sense promoted, by governments running anti-obesity campaigns.
"It's not illegal to discriminate against someone based on their size, whereas it's illegal in most countries to discriminate based on someone's sex or race, sexual orientation is becoming more protected too," she said.
"I'd like size to become a protected class."
