An acquisition of Lit Motors could also help Apple rethink its strategy with building an electric car and bring engineering talent into the company.
An acquisition of Lit Motors could also help Apple rethink its strategy with building an electric car and bring engineering talent into the company.
The person familiar with the matter said Apple also had held talks with Lit Motors Corp., a San Francisco developer of an electric motorcycle with enclosed seating. Lit declined to comment.
According to The New York Times, Apple has already hired away "several" former Lit Motors engineers. The company — its motto stating "We are creating the future of transportation, today" — is known for its C-1 vehicle, which looks like a cross between a motorcycle and Google's self-driving car prototype.
When Jamar Bromley MFA 15 GD returned to San Francisco for his second summer internship at Lit Motors, he set out to create a "sexy and elegant" graphics package that would do justice to the incredibly cool new vehicle the start-up is planning to release later this year. The curvy, compact electric two-wheeler is the brainchild of company founder and CEO Danny Kim 09 ID, who has spent more than five years developing it to provide the maneuverability and fuel efficiency of a motorcycle and the stability and comfort of a sedan.
What happens when you build a vehicle that is part car, part motorcycle, and part spacecraft? You get convenience, safety, and 100% cool. Introducing the C-1, an electric two-wheeler that is all-weather, entirely enclosed, and totally untippable. This week Jason talks with Lit Motors Founder & CEO Daniel Kim about his incredible invention, what it's like to create a new class of vehicle — and what he's got waiting in the wings.
Novedge: Tell us a bit about who you are and what you do
Daniel Kim: I'm Daniel Kim, founder and CEO of Lit Motors. I founded Lit about four years ago. We're making innovative electric vehicles, focusing on a self-balancing two-wheeler currently code-named "C-1″. The C-1 combines the romance and efficiency of a motorcycle with the safety and comfort of a car, creating a brand new vehicle platform.
Danny Kim of Lit Motors took over the @Autodesk Twitter and Instagram to show us a behind the scenes look at what goes into building a self-balancing two wheeled vehicle.
In mid-2012 Lit Motors had created both engineering and design prototypes and conducted initial customer tests on less than $750,000 of investment. Lit Motors' founder, Daniel Kim, had started the company to design and manufacture an efficient electric 2-wheeled vehicle. The company had refined the designs for the key technologies required and had a working prototype, an understanding of the manufacturing processes to be used and a list of the components required. They also had a design prototype that they had used to conduct customer tests and establish reactions to pricing levels. At this point, management was aiming to raise $15M to get closer to manufacturing prototypes, but had they sufficiently proved out both the manufacturing feasibility and the market demand? How could they address the next hurdles in terms of partnership building, supply chain management and go-to-market strategy?
Meanwhile, the coolest thing to hit city streets since the Vespa could be the new electric vehicle from Lit Motors, a SoMa startup headed by Rhode Island School of Design graduate Danny Kim. Lit Motors' tiny two-wheeled car is intended to be the latest weapon in fighting urban congestion and nonexistent parking. It maneuvers like a motorcycle but has a steel chassis and gyroscopic technology to give it car-like stability…

Electric motorcycles aren't new, but if you add a shell and a self-balancing system, that's a whole different animal. Lit Motors is not only looking to improve the carbon footprint of vehicles, the company is looking to reinvent the way we look at two-wheeled road hogs.

If you think it's easy to tell the difference between a car and a motorcycle, you're wrong. There's plenty of room between the traditional four-wheeled closed and two-wheeled open conveyances for unusual cross-breeds.

We visit electric vehicle start-up Lit Motors to check the hottest EV on two wheels. The C1 from Lit Motors is a two wheeled electric vehicle that merges radical engineering with breath-taking design. Design was foremost in the mind of Founder, Daniel Kim: "Design is really important because of perceived value, but having something you can fall in love with is really important to me, and it's been a while since I've fallen in love with a car. I wanted to rekindle that."

Meet Lit's C-1. It looks like a huge kidney bean on wheels, and you've probably seen similar prototype or limited-production vehicles on the Interwebs and various automotive and science publications for years, maybe decades (if you're old). But the C-1 is different. Not only is it a zero-emissions plug-in electric its inventors claim is capable of over 100 mph and a 200-mile range, it's also a self-balancing, computer-controlled robotic vehicle that combines technologies in a way never seen before.

We've been covering Lit Motors' beautiful, balance-blessed, covered scooter — C-1 — since January 2012. But I think its new/side project may be even cooler. It's a scooter that can haul some serious cargo – kubo.
Lit Motors, the company behind the fully-enclosed C-1 electric two-wheeler, has opened a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for its new box-like electric scooter, the kubo.
While impossible to call any mode of transport the best, earlier this week, I stumbled upon what I think can be called the most environmentally practical single driver, fully electric vehicles designed to date and, in my opinion, definitely the coolest.
Innovation in transportation
Lit Motors is transforming how we think of cars, car companies and transportation with the two-wheeled, gyroscopically balanced C-1. Unlike anything else on the road today, this revolutionary vehicle is designed to make urban transportation safer, faster, more efficient and more responsible for everyone.
We take all the danger out of a two-wheeler. We see this as the next platform for transportation in the 21st century.
For many people, the name Progressive conjures thoughts of the company's perky sales clerk, Flo. In its new brand extension, called The Thread, Progressive introduces consumers to the real company behind its popular, apron-clad icon.

Tesla's Elon Musk gets credit for inspiring the character Tony Stark from Iron Man, but some say Daniel Kim of Lit Motors is more deserving. "Unlike Musk, Dan can actually build stuff," says investor Ted Loh. "We'll probably see him flying around in an Iron Man suit one day because he just decided to build one."
Konkurrenz fürs Elektroauto: Der E-Roller des US-Start-Ups Lit Motors braucht so wenig Platz wie ein Motorrad, hat aber eine Kabine – und balanciert sich wie ein Segway.
The engineers at Lit Motors decided to think way outside of the box and design a vehicle that would not only be light and energy efficient, capable of running on either petroleum or electricity, but also serve this growing demographic by creating a vehicle that is designed for narrow crowded streets. They ended up creating that vehicle that looks nothing like a typical car.
…Kim says the experience nearly killed him, but he took those nearly 10,000 hours (what Malcolm Gladwell describes in Outliers as necessary for success in any field) and launched his own car company. Well, "car" is perhaps overstating it, given that all of Kim's designs have only two wheels. He has patents on a couple of electric cargo scooters- one even folds up (he takes one for a ride into a bar in our video).
"It's a rolling iPhone. It has a connectivity systems management that will enable it to be an extension of your smartphone," Lit Motors' founder Danny Kim said. "It's a different driving experience."
San Francisco-based Lit Motors is definitely best-known for its C1 – a self-balancing, fully-enclosed electric motorcycle, that's still in development. The company has also been quietly working on another vehicle, however, known as the kubo. It's an electric cargo scooter, in which the payload is carried inside the frame. It's ready to go into production, so its makers have turned to Kickstarter for funding.
…that's where Lit Motors' C-1 comes into the picture. It's a proposed fully-enclosed two-passenger electric motorbike that uses an electronically-controlled gyroscopic stabilizing system to stay upright when stopped, or even when struck from the side in an accident.

A start-up company in San Francisco is developing a new hybrid vehicle its says will have all the comforts and safety features of a car with the fun factor of a motorcycle. Small, speedy and safe according to its developers, the vehicle is aimed at commuters of the future. Ben Gruber reports.
What rolls on only two wheels, but can't be toppled? No, it's not a Segway. But it does look a little like a Tron-inspired light cycle. The answer is Lit Motors' C-1 virtually uncrashable electric motorcycle.

As this BBC video demonstrates, the all-electric Lit Motors C-1 electric motorcycle is an amazing feat of engineering. Using gyroscopes and electric motors to keep its balance, the C-1 really can't be knocked down — even when it's being tugged by an SUV.
Future Tech – Lit Motors Cargo Motor Scooter, kubo
What's being billed as "the world's first gyroscopically stabilized" electric motorcycle could radically change the nature of riding a cycle. A new commuter vehicle from Lit Motors is a hyper-connected, efficient, and safe commuter vehicle with one foot in the automobile world and one foot in the motorcycle world. Enter the C-1.
Last Car Standing: Sub Compacts
But the company behind the British Formula One constructor isn't the only vehicle manufacturer to find itself in the Apple takeover rumor mill. On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that Apple has also been chatting with San Francisco's Lit Motors, a startup working on self-balanced electric motorcycles. The talks are said to be about a "potential acquisition."
…founder Daniel Kim showed me a video on his laptop at the event. In it, the C-1 is tethered to his car (the car and C-1 are perpendicular). Kim hits the gas in his car, the C-1 moves sideways, but doesn't hit the ground as you might expect.
Elektroroller könnten die Waffe der Wahl werden im Kampf gegen den Verkehrskollaps in Mega-Citys. Wenn sie nur wetterfester und sicherer wären. Jetzt hat ein kalifornisches Unternehmen den Lit C-1 gezeigt. In dem sitzt man trocken und kippt nicht um – nicht mal bei einem Unfall.
世界中で既存のクルマメーカーはもちろんいくつものベンチャーメーカーがトライアルを繰り返すシティコミューターのマーケット。ここに屋根付き2輪車で参入しようとしているのがカリフォルニアのLit Motorsだ。
A San Francisco start-up has designed a prototype for the world's first gyro-stabilized electric motorcycle. Lit Motors says the C-1 vehicle combines the efficiency and freedom of a motorcycle with the safety and convenience of a car.
Lit Motors certainly doesn't lack in the ambition department. Last year, the vehicle startup announced that it's working on the C-1, a two-wheeled mutant vehicle that looks like a car sliced in half. The C-1 hasn't even launched, but Lit is already onto a new project: kubo, an electric cargo scooter that has the distinction of being the first vehicle on Kickstarter.
The Lit C-1 doesn't look like any car you've ever seen, but it still can go 120 miles per hour and gets 200 miles on each charge. Will people embrace the futuristic design enough to make the startup a success?
"My end goal is to have a big, positive impact on the world in terms of carbon emissions and providing a safer and more enjoyable commuting experience," says Kim, a one-time Land Rover mechanic whose venture recently was the subject of a flattering Harvard Business School case study. "One day, I hope that anywhere I travel, I'll see a C-1. I know it can happen"…
Daniel Kim has been described as a cross between Henry Ford and Steve Jobs.
His prototype egg-shaped vehicle has the potential to be as innovative as Ford's early automobiles and the sleek design does resemble an Apple computer on wheels.
"This vehicle has all the excitement of a motorcycle with the comfort of a car," said Kim. "It can be the Model T of the 21st Century. It's sustainable transportation that is affordable."
The ideal way to get around a city is on a motorcycle, but it can also be dangerous. Meet the C-1: a two-wheeled electric vehicle with a sleek, fully enclosed chassis that provides more safety than a motorcycle.
To understand San Francisco's burgeoning electric-motorhead culture, all you have to do is walk around the ground-floor garage at Daniel Kim's SoMa startup, Lit Motors. Kim's biodiesel Land Rover, built from spare parts after he dropped out of college, crowds the center of the room. His homemade surfboards…
If you've lived on two wheels for any amount of time, you understand there are compromises to riding instead of driving. Topping the list of inconveniences, aside from that whole people-in-cars-are-morons-trying-to-kill-you thing, is the lack of cargo capacity…
If you're anything like me, you value your life. Which means you've probably avoided motorcycles despite their stellar fuel economy, small footprint and ability to weave through traffic like a snake through grass. But the benefits of riding a bike are often outweighed by their inherent vulnerability, not to mention the lack of creature comforts and cargo capacity.
Lit Motors aims to change that.
Lit Motors' C-1 is a self-stabilizing, all-electric two-wheeler that marries all the creature comforts of a car with the performance and efficiency of a motorcycle.
In the effort to revolutionize modern transportation, there are those who put their eggs in the low-tech basket, advocating for ways to make cities more friendly to biking and walking. And then there are the visionaries dreaming up the next big idea in transit, like Google with its self-driving cars. Now a Bay-area based electric vehicle designer called Lit is joining the second camp with a new motorcycle-car hybrid it's calling a "rolling smartphone."
Nothing personal, but Danny Kim '02 wants to change the way you drive. His San Francisco startup, Lit Motors, is busy developing a revolutionary electric motorbike that he calls a "smart phone on wheels."
Lit Motors debuted its "self-balancing" motorcycle for "sustainable transportation" at the Techcrunch DisruptSF conference today.
We live in a skeptical world. When it comes to upstart green vehicle manufacturers, there is no end to the people who will line up to say "That's cool, but it just ain't going to happen." And for good reason: the shoulder of the road to viability is a parking lot of electric this and hybrid that. Remember Aptera? How aboutCoda? Oh yeah, where's my Zap! Alias?…
Electric cargo scooter lust is now a thing. We sometimes walk through life without ever realizing our hearts hold a void until the propitious moment we first lay eyes on that missing piece. That thing that unexpectedly makes us whole and floods us with excitement. The hole in our soul, apparently, is shaped like the Kubo from Lit Motors.
There are a number of transportation devices under development deserving of the adjective, "revolutionary." There are also no shortage of vehicles bestowed with the "vaporware" descriptor. High on both of those lists rests the C-1 from Lit Motors – a self-balancing fully-enclosed electric motorcycle, with a steering wheel in place of handlebars. For both doubters and believers, however, there is no denying that this project is moving forward.
With its promise of a fun driving experience mixed with super space saving and energy efficiency, we think the Lit Motors C-1 has the potential to be a disruptive bit of transportation tech. And it appears we're not the only ones.
The C-1 enclosed motorcycle from Lit Motors could change the transportation world in a big, big way. Yes, it may be a little early to make that sort of unqualified sweeping statement – the first drivable prototype won't be complete for another six months – but if everything works out as planned, prepare to be impressed, if not amazed.
The C-1 electric vehicle is the brainchild of a onetime college dropout and do-it-yourself engineer. But can this environmentally friendly prototype make it on the road?

Daniel Kim was trying to build a drivable truck from scratch. While lying on his back one day in the shop, the 500-pound chassis hung above him. It started to teeter, then fell, barely missing Kim's face. His life spared, Kim had his "aha" moment. Just over three-quarters of commuters drive alone, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, so why are cars so big and bulky?
Apple is rumored to be in talks to acquire McLaren, but that's not all. While the New York Times was digging on the McLaren story, they also found out that Apple is also talking with Lit Motors for a potential acquisition.
Colleen Taylor learns more about the design and drive mechanics of Lit Motors' new kubo cargo scooter at CES 2014.

We were able to have some hands-on time with the C-1, which really does make you feel like a real-life Tron character when you climb inside, as well as the Lit Scooter, which is aimed at the developing world.
After nearly three days and plenty of pitches, our list of 30 hungry startups was trimmed down until there were only seven startups left standing: Expect Labs, Gyft, Lit Motors, Prior Knowledge, Saya, YourMechanic, and Zumper. Their task? To take the stage one last time in front of our amazing panel of expert judges — Mike Arrington, Roelof Botha, Chris Dixon, Eric Eldon, David Lee, Marissa Mayer, and David Sacks — to undergo even more intense scrutiny.
The recent influx of both high- and low-end EVs and electric motorcycles have shown promise, but current battery technology is still limiting, and the cost of entry is far too high with the benefits of switching from petrol-powered vehicles not being quite as obvious or apparent in the near term.
Apple is also in talks with Lit Motors, a San Francisco start-up that has developed an electric self-balancing motorcycle, about a potential acquisition, according to three people who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Apple has already hired several former Lit Motors engineers.
Zipping around on a motorcycle can be fun, but being in a downpour or an accident on one is not. Driving a car is safer and more comfortable, but traffic and parking can be annoying.
What if you got rid of the bad parts of both?
Over two years ago I test drove (and was carried by) a funky electric scooter made by San Francisco-based startup Lit Motors that carried large amounts of cargo and could fold down into a small size (see that video below). It was just a prototype back then, but on Wednesday the startup launched a new version of that e-scooter with a brand new Kickstarter campaign.
While there are a growing number of electric scooter and motorcycle makers out there, there's not many that are making a cargo-carrying, foldable version. San Francisco-based startup Lit Motors has been developing an electric scooter that can fold down into almost half its driving size.
As it firms up plans to upend the auto industry, Apple Inc. is looking toward British carmaker McLaren and San Francisco-based startup Lit Motors for help.
Lit Motors is a San Francisco startup developing a two-wheeled electric vehicle called the C-1. It looks like a motorcycle wrapped in a candy shell and rides like a car. The C-1 aims to fill the commuter sweet spot between bicycle and automobile. Lit founder Daniel Kim, 34, says the vehicle is scheduled to begin production later this year…
Lit Motors CEO Daniel Kim spoke at Bloomberg Businessweek's second annual design conference about the future of transportation…
Daniel Kim decided to reinvent the motorcycle eight years ago, soon after a car nearly crushed him. He was welding a Land Rover sport-utility vehicle, laying on a mechanic's sled under its 500-pound chassis, when the chassis fell off its frame stands. Kim stuck his arm up as the chassis fell, and on contact the force pushed him and the rolling sled out from beneath the car. The near-death experience gave Kim his fill of big machines, he says: "I thought, does the world need another SUV? No." A lifelong bike aficionado, he set out to create one as safe as a car.
In a nondescript building on the grittier side of downtown San Francisco, the future of personal transportation is being born — at least according to this baby's Dr. Frankenstein, an affable 33-year-old named Daniel Kim. Sitting in the glare of a few spotlights is the LIT Motors C1, an enclosed two-wheeler that combines the flexibility and fuel efficiency of an electric motorcycle with the safety, comfort and storage space of a small automobile.
A San Francisco start-up has designed a prototype for the world's first gyro-stabilized electric motorcycle. Lit Motors says the C-1 vehicle combines the efficiency and freedom of a motorcycle with the safety and convenience of a car.
Described as a "motorbike-car" hybrid, the Lit C-1 two wheeler uses a set of futuristic electronic gyroscopes to ensure it remains upright and balanced, similar to the technology used by Segway scooters and the recent Honda UNI-CUB.
A California company believes conventional cars are too big and inefficient for urban commutes. Jack Stewart test drives their answer – a two-wheeler that won't fall over.
Lit Motors, a small company based in San Francisco, California I profiled in my last article, believes it might have a solution. By going back to the drawing board and designing an electric scooter for carrying cargo, it has come up with a design that it says should be safer, more efficient, more useful, but no more expensive. These are big goals for a small machine.
…[Daniel Kim's] company's approach is different: shrink the car. Imagine if you could cut the size of a car in half, you could fit twice as many cars onto the streets, and into parking spaces. "We want to put less car on the road, and more people," he says.
As the number of cars on the road increases, new vehicles are being developed to reduce congestion, pollution and even the need for car ownership.
One of the most common accidents for motorcyclists is falling while turning a corner.
But what if the bike could stand up by itself and would take "a baby elephant pushing it" to knock it over?
Designed to withstand the brute force of an impact with an SUV (sport utility vehicle), the C-1 is the world's first two-wheeler stabilised by electronically-controlled gyroscopes that create over 1,000 pounds of torque.
That, combined with a set of flywheels, help keep the vehicle upright in challenging conditions including rain, snow, traffic and collisions.
The iPhone maker has also conducted several meetings with Lit Motors, a San Francisco startup that has been attempting to build an enclosed electric motorcycle. According to sources close to the situation, Apple AAPL -1.51% met with Lit CEO Daniel Kim earlier this year to discuss a potential acquisition.
In an exclusive with Forbes, the much hyped vehicle builder announced that it had closed a $1 million seed round with an eclectic set of investors who range from billionaires Mark Pincus and Kim Jung-Ju to world surf champ Kelly Slater…
On paper, Lit's proposition is enticing. Kim expects the electric motorcycle, which can carry up to two people, to hit speeds of up to 120 miles per hour with a battery range of about 200 miles per charge. Its sleek design will allow for easier parking in urban areas as well as lane-splitting or navigating traffic. And most importantly, an enclosed cockpit and in-house concocted gyroscopes will provide some safety assurance and stability to a form of transportation glorified for its uninhibited and dangerous nature.

Optus boosts mobile customers by 17%
Page Tools
Australia's second-largest telecom group, Optus, has maintained its strong growth in the mobile phone market, adding 168,000 subscribers in the June quarter to close the financial year with 5.72 million customers - up 17 per cent on the previous year.
Optus, owned by Singapore Telecommunications, grew its mobile subscriber base by 18 per cent in the March quarter but flagged a slowdown in its strong double-digit revenue growth when announcing full-year results in May.
The telecom's results are largely determined by the growth of its mobile business, its largest revenue contributor.
The growth comes despite competition from Hutchison Telecom's third-generation mobile business, 3.
But Optus faces a more aggressive market in the lead-up to Christmas with new "bucket-style" pricing from Vodafone.
Vodafone added 12,000 subscribers for the June quarter, leaving it with just under 2.5 million customers - a turnaround from the 190,000 drop in the March quarter, when it cut non-active subscribers.
A complete record of the mobile winners and losers for the June quarter will not be available until Hutchison and Telstra report their financial results next week.
"The key factor during the June quarter will be Hutchison's traction in adding customers, particularly given the introduction of its very attractive $0 handset deals from the second week of May and the improving handset pipeline," Citigroup Smith Barney said in a recent report.
The broker has forecast overall market share growth of 448,000 subscribers in the quarter for Hutchison. The group is expected to add 97,000 new customers for the period, taking its total base to just under 600,000.
On Thursday SingTel/Optus will announce its results for the first quarter ending June 30.

text: Crop Tour Recap: Will These Variables Hurt Corn, Soybeans? August 26, 2013 10:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email While corn looks impressive in states such as Ohio and South Dakota, issues such as lack of crop uniformity, late planting and dry soils might create problems for both that crop and soybeans heading into harvest. That's according to experts who participated in the 2013 Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour. "The variability increased from Illinois to Iowa," Brian Grete, Eastern Tour leader, tells the U.S. Farm Report Market Roundtable. "There are a lot of holes out there, and it's hard to measure those holes. But I will tell you it's hard to build a big crop or a big yield when you've got those holes out there." Meanwhile, corn farther east looks good but needs water. "It's healthy, it just needs a drink," says Mark Bernard, Eastern Tour scout. In South Dakota, scouts found corn yields up 118% over 2012, says Chip Flory, Western Tour leader. At the same time, soybeans were suffering. "Those pods are flat as can be," Flory says. Irrigated corn didn't look as good as it has been billed in Nebraska, he says. Tipback occurred in some fields, though not to the degree found in dry states such as Illinois, says Jason Franck, Western Tour scout. Other issues appeared, too. "The nitrogen deficiency showed up almost all through Iowa, especially as we moved north," Franck says. Minnesota came in as equally conflicted, with good conditions in the southwest but less positive ones in the south central part of the state. Time will tell whether weather conditions help or hurt late-planted crops. "If September isn't perfect, this Iowa crop is going backward," Flory says. "Now if September is great and we don't get a frost until Thanksgiving, some of this corn is going to make it. Not all of it, but some of it's going to make it."

Henning Mankell owns Wallander.
Alternative ending to Hemligheten.
This officer here… Stefan Lindman…
Kurt opens his eyes and it flashes before him, like a thought awakens one that is fast asleep and a revelation comes unsought, and he sees it.
Couldn't it be that Stefan is too personally involved? He's staying out of the case, Linda. I don't want you near him until we're done with this.
A string of words. That's all it takes, really. A short sentence and a leap into the dark winter night of side-thinking. Of unlikely probabilities. Kurt's never gotten on with those, really.
Don't do anything stupid, he tells her, they're outside Magnus' home and it's dark, and Nyberg holds the vial with the slivers of dried blood like a trophy.
Dried blood, huh? Well, bloody hell he thinks, and he's ironically probably quoting, now, but he'd be damned. Dried blood, but their suspect wasn't shot; but there was someone else who was, goddamnit.
Don't do anything stupid, Linda, he tells her, but hurry the damned hell up.
And she does, for God's sake she does, hearing the urgency in his voice, and she be damned, the slight quiver of I-may-have-been-wrong in the way he says her name, like he's trying to say he's sorry.
Sorry for what?
For not telling her straight away that she's usually more right than he lets on. For bloody hell, bloody hell, he may be as well burning out too.
Don't do anything stupid, Linda, he's told her, but she's not thinking about her father when she bursts through a once shared window with a desperate cry that doesn't even sound like don't- she's not thinking.
Sometimes it's the best, just not thinking. Just kicking furniture out of the way and sending a table she knows well flying across the room, a glass and three different bottles rolling over to the ground and shattering, because everything seems to be shattering lately.
He looks at her with eyes unfocused and lips quivering, damn it all.
"Drop the gun… Stefan… drop it…"
"What's it to you?"
…but hurry the damned hell up, Linda…
She shouldn't, but she smiles at the unlikeliness of it all, wasn't this when she dropped to her knees in anguish before the still deed? It might be the only think Kurt's done well since this all mad chase began and it all started to smell fishy.
Leave it all up to her.
Something in his brain that's still anchored to this world feels her smile and has him smile back at her, yes, isn't this just where the world ends…?
"Drop the gun, and I might just as well tell you," a voice soft and thick with feeling answers him, and then she notices it was only just herself about to speak a truth too many.
"Well, for fuck's sake…"
He swears like he's only breathing, and damn it, she thinks, isn't that just so him. Something thuds on the floor, it's the gun, sending ripples through an amber puddle of whisky.
A/N: fy fannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn :(
slutet= the end.
Damn, I was so goddamned depressed after Stefan killed himself in Hemligheten I needed to write an alternative ending to cope with the sadness.
Hope it helps someone else eventually.
This would be the non-Swedish ending: after this, Stefan got a good lawyer and got it pretty light for being in a traumatic situation or something. Then he and Linda got married and lived happily ever after.

Looted assets revert to public
Tuesday July 13 2010
The handing over of public property worth Sh6 billion — illegally acquired by prominent politicians and civil servants — starts on Wednesday in Nairobi.
Acting Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission director John Mutonyi is to hand over land worth Sh1.7 billion to Forestry minister Noah Wekesa after recovering it from the grabbers.
This will take place at Jamhuri Park near the War Memorial Cemetery in Nairobi.
Illegally allocated
Those illegally allocated the land include chief executives of State corporations, army commanders and MPs.
The repossessed land includes 100 acres worth Sh1.5 billion illegally alienated from Ngong Forest near Jamhuri Park.
A further 60 acres worth Sh200 million was also illegally alienated from the Nairobi National Park. The remainder of property that has been recovered includes government houses and money traced to some individual's accounts.
The property had been allocated illegally over the last 10 years.
The Ngong Forest land had initially been identified in 1981 for the construction of the Information and Broadcasting Ministry headquarters.
The government accepted the plan, with the Forestry and Natural Resources ministry starting the process of alteration of boundaries of the forest.
About 13 years later, in 1994, the ministry put up a gazette notice inviting objections from interested people.
But Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai, the Green Belt Movement boss, raised objections to the notice, forcing a halt on the process.
"The land was, however, in unclear and suspect circumstances allocated to private developers," added the agency document.
The commission's investigations established that indeed the land had been subdivided into portions and allocated to different people.
The land will now revert to the Kenya Forest Service.
At the Nairobi National Park, 28,950 acres had been earmarked for grabbing. The land rightfully belongs to the Kenya Wildlife Service.
Of this, 60 acres were illegally excised without the approval of the Cabinet.

So I've been very busy lately trying to catch up with my school work and whatnot. But here's a list of what's to be expected to happen in October.
Still working on it of course. Got the clay clan going strong right now. Going to do some testing and make sure everything works out okay. Thinking about doing the kawa system that is in GOA. Although I don't want to make the game like GOA too much, I really think people would get POed when someone has an "OP" jutsu cause you can't dodge it or something. So yeah... vote on that. :P
Also! Still determining if I'm going to make it Naruto themed, or a generic ninja game that has themes similar to Naruto and other various ninja animes. Your thoughts?
-Halloween Terror III
Is being worked on. I'm not going to say anything else until we get far into it.
-Dynasty Warriors: Feudal Wars
This has over 1,900 downloads! Dang! Although it saddens me that it's hard to find, so I've decided to drop the Dynasty Warriors logo and go with Three Kingdoms: Feudal Wars so that it can be listed. All I have to do is name change everything since the characters are based on real characters, I don't have to change them. KOEI doesn't own them nor their likeness cause they were real people.
-My GiaW Test
I'm going to be using a random word generator and generate 10 words. I will then choose 1 word, and make a small game off of it. I really like GiaD, although I couldn't that too often cause I do have some kind of life, so expanding that into a week wouldn't be bad. We'll see how it goes, I'll post the words in a post for anyone that wants to join me.
-Myth Of The Zodiac
Is going to still be updated until it's a good game. I'm not going to release it for download until I feel that it's well done and everything I want added is there. We are adding facial hair at random, blood, maps, another round style, and who knows what else! :D
-So yeah...
Just an update for those whom are bored. :D
Poll: Should NFV adopt GOA's kawa system?
Login to vote.
lot of players that play Naruto GOA (officials) hate the new Kawa system system. I don't know why, personally I think it's ingenious.

I more meant the older one. Where it sets a location for you to be able teleport to if your opponent attempts to get you stuck.
Oh rofl.
Gooo Ganniinngggg.
Are you going to be hosting a 'Game in a Week' event or is this a personal challenge?

A personal challenge for the most part, but I would like to make it into an event. Only thing is, I bet most people that entered GiaD are programmed out like I am. I mean -phew- that was fun, but a lot! So maybe late October I'll host the event. Only thing is, I ain't got no money, hopefully that don't matter too much.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Tom Dolan wants another gold medal. Jenny Thompson wants one of her own. Dara Torres? She'll gladly settle for an improbable trip to Sydney.
Thompson defeated Torres in a stirring 100-meter butterfly at the U.S. Olympic trials Thursday night, the two giants of American swimming flapping toward the finish in almost perfect sync before Thompson touched first by a split-second.
They both earned spots on the Olympic team, which will make 33-year-old Torres the first American to swim in four Games.
''When I got out of the pool, I pinched myself to make sure it wasn't a dream,'' said Torres, who returned to the sport in July 1999 after a seven-year retirement. ''It's a pretty awesome feeling.''
Dolan, meanwhile, blew away the latest challenger to his supremacy in the 400 individual medley and gets a chance to defend his gold medal from the Atlanta Games.
Thompson has won five golds during her brilliant career, but all have come in relays. Four years ago, she stunningly failed to qualify at the trials for any of the individual Olympic events.
Thompson earned her third trip to the Olympics in 57.78 seconds. Torres, swimming in the next lane, was virtually stroke-for-stroke over the final 25 meters, falling just short in 57.86. No one else was within a second.
''That's what I missed out on in '96 -- the opportunity,'' said Thompson, whose only individual medal is a silver in 1992. ''Now, I have it.''
Speaking of giants, Dolan showed he was fully recovered from knee surgery by beating rival Tom Wilkens.
Watching himself on the video board, Dolan splashed the water defiantly, having turned away another challenge to the dominance he has held in this event since setting the world record of 4:12.30 in 1994.
''I always do it the hard way,'' said Dolan, who made a run at the record with a time of 4:13.72. ''It's been a long time coming. That's the most emotion I've had in swimming in a long time.''
Wilkens had a half-second lead at the 300-meter mark after his specialty, the breaststroke. But Dolan made up the distance over the final 100 with his best stroke, the freestyle.
Wilkens faded badly and didn't even get a spot on the Olympic team. Distance specialist Erik Vendt of North Easton, Mass., came on for second in 4:13.89, while Wilkens was another two seconds back at 4:15.89.
Ed Moses, who gave up swimming for six years after burning out at age 10, showed why he's one of the favorites for gold in the men's 100 breaststroke. Now 20, he set an American record of 1:00.44 -- just 0.08 seconds off the world mark held by Russia's Roman Sloudnov.
Pat Calhoun of Auburn, Ala., claimed the other Olympic berth at 1:01.09.
''First things first -- I just wanted to make the team,'' Moses said. ''My work is not done yet. I have four weeks to prepare for the Games. This is just a step ahead. Hopefully, I'll bring home the gold.''
His family held up signs saying ''11th Commandment, Moses Shall Go Fast'' and ''12th Commandment, Moses Shall Go For The Gold.''
Diana Munz, 18, of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, made her first Olympic team by winning the 400 freestyle, edging out top qualifier Brooke Bennett. Munz finished in 4:08.71, while Bennett also heads to Sydney after going 4:08.76.
Bennett won Olympic gold in the 800 free at the Atlanta Games.
Torres, who returned to swimming last year after seven years spent dabbling in modeling and infomercial work, held a slight lead at the turn in the 100 butterfly. Thompson caught up on the return trip and touched first.
Both swimmers came up short of Torres' American record of 57.58, set a day earlier in the preliminaries. And both have a lot of work to do before Sydney, where Dutch sensation Inge de Bruijn has set a very high bar to catch with a world record of 56.64.
Still, it was a remarkable accomplishment by Torres, who swam in the Los Angeles Games 16 years ago and also competed at Seoul and Barcelona before leaving the sport with two gold medals, a silver and bronze -- all in relays.
When Torres decided to begin competing again, she called Thompson her inspiration. They worked out together until the practice pool began to resemble a mini-Olympics, forcing coach Richard Quick to split them up.
Showing there's no hard feelings, they hugged and clasped hands after their thrilling race.
''The rivalry has definitely pushed me to be better,'' Thompson, 27, said. ''It's put me out of my comfort zone and made me have to step it up.''
Lenny Krayzelburg, world record-holder in the men's 100 backstroke, used the preliminaries and semifinals to show off the form that's expected to bring gold in Sydney.
The 24-year-old native of the Ukraine cruised through the prelims at 54.33, fastest in the world this year. Until the evening session, that is, when blew away the field in 53.67 -- a mere off 0.07 off his record.
And he didn't even seem to be pushing himself hard. Just wait until the Friday final.
''I can come in and work on some things and build my race,'' Krayzelburg said. ''I'm saving it for tomorrow night.''

Baseball is back and deserves a little bit of reverence
It is a frightening question. But it must be asked:
Are the Pink Hats taking over?
In case you are uninitiated with the term: "Pink Hats" originally referred to the Jenny-Come-Lately Red Sox fans who may or may not have known the "Green Monster" was a piece of the ballpark and not the international symbol for envy. But they began showing up en masse at Fenway nonetheless to make goo goo eyes at Johnny Damon and sing "Sweet Caroline."
"Pink Hats," though, has morphed into a pejorative for fair-weathers of either gender who know none of the suffering but all of the glory that comes with rooting for a team.
We ask because of the insipid grumblings recently from what must be burgeoning Pink Hats affiliated with the Yankees and Red Sox. Do you know what you people sound like? One columnist in Boston even declared the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry "dead" the other day.
I know spring is a time of renewal. But have all of you people emerged from your underground troll caverns all at once?
Here it is, another late March and baseball has been gone too long again. It returns in earnest next Monday in the Bronx, a Holy Day of Obligation after a Holy Day of Obligation. From Easter to Lester. And still, it's complain, complain, complain.
The Red Sox have a lineup full of people that will elicit a "who?" in place of the erstwhile "Youk."
The Yankees have "Youk" now, but are all hurt and older than the Book of Genesis.
Question: Why is this a bad thing?
Question: Must each team have an all-star at every position? It might be what the Pink Hats have come to expect. But the Yanks and Sox have always been more fun to root for when they're flawed.
It's why 1967 remains sacrosanct in Boston.
It's why the greatest Yankees summer ever was 1996. Mariano Duncan was the everyday second baseman. Joe Girardi caught, while the fan base pined for the departed Mike Stanley. The immortal Wally Whitehurst started a key pennant-race game in late August.
And somehow, it was just more fun. Now we're awash in ticket prices that must be justified through star power and fan bases that are more spoiled than week old sushi.
Let me just say this: If the Yankees and Red Sox are fighting for the American League East in September, yours truly will battle Rush Limbaugh that month for the most I-told-you-sos. Honestly. Is either team that helpless?
I remember helpless: When Alvaro Espinosa was the everyday shortstop and the top three pitchers were Andy Hawkins, Dave LaPointe and Chuck Cary.
And what if Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz pitch to the back of their baseball cards? The bullpen is very good and the lineup has scored runs consistently since Nixon's last "let me make this perfectly clear."
To the Yankee haters: You better hope Sabathia, Kuroda, Pettitte and Mo Rivera get hurt a lot. Because if they don't and the regulars in the lineup return - and who cares if Jeter is back April 6 or May 12, really - the "too old Yankees" win north of 90 again.
I'm not convinced Tampa will score enough runs, Baltimore can duplicate last summer or this collection of Blue Jays that hasn't won a blessed thing will be nearly as good as the experts say.
And as for the rivalry being dead: If you think it's dead, go cover lacrosse. No, really. If Sabathia vs. Lester at Yankee Stadium after baseball has been gone four months doesn't intrigue you, summon the valet for the bandwagon and get lost.
Sorry if I don't have my sunny disposition today. But I can't stand it any longer. Baseball is back next week with the Yankees and Red Sox. I am excited. And why not?
This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.

Having been working on speed development over the past month. The next four sessions will start to include more sustained/ slower paced swimming.
The main set integrates steady paced longer swims with shorter quicker swims. The purpose of the longer swims is to recover. Swimmers should try to maintain the same pace throughout the shorter swims.
Post on behalf of Alan Smith.
This weeks session is a repeat of the first week of this year, which will give you a chance to see how much progression you've made. Before anyone pulls me up on this, clearly this is only applicable if you have attended the first one but you should have some idea of your 100m times by now? (you do have don't you?).
On the main set there is plenty of rest, this is deliberate. The goal is to go hard but not so hard that you cannot maintain good form - so P'nG, T/T or Fast Turns and centered head - holding a narrow balanced stroke - and then sustaining it !!!
Hard Even Paced Reps with No Drop Off
Regards, Francis.
This weeks session will again build on the work we have done since the start of the year - Pace Awareness.
It would be helpful for you to remind yourselves of the "target" times you have been achieving over the last couple of weeks, prior to the session. The trick is to hit your time consistently throughout the session, rather than going too quick and fading.
Alan is away, so you've got me again to lecture you; hard luck folks.
Speed Work Pt 2 - the focus of this session is to combine speed work with submaximal pace judgement. Again swimmers should focus on maximising their starts and turns and becoming comfortable working off the clock. Swimmers should use previous weeks' speed work as a reference for pace judgement
Alan is leading again and is more than happy to receive feedback.
Please note: the weather forecast is poor for tomorrow, the pool is open from 6:00 pm, so allow lots of time for your journey and come early if you wish. Regards Francis.
We are sorry to inform you that tomorrows track session at Carnegie is cancelled.
Gavin and I have checked and the track is currently closed due to the severe weather and the forecast for tomorrow is for no improvement. So that you can make alternative arrangements we have made our descison today; hope you understand. May I suggest you take the opportunity to do some focussed stretching at home - how many of you have tight hamstings, glutes, etc - are you really as flexible as you could/should be?
Regards Francis.
Base Set 2 - Stroke Length and Swim Speed Development
The aim of this session is to work on basic stroke technique and swim speed. The main set (shaded) requires just below maximal swim speeds, alternated with easy recovery swims. Swimmers should monitor their times and note any 'trail off' in preformance. These types of sets are excellent opportunities to work on starts and turns.
Alan Smith leading, see you next week. Regards Francis.
Welcome Back and HNY2U all - my apologies for the late posting but I've been chasing confirmation that LGS is actually open tomorrow evening. Alan Smith will be leading the sessions for this quarter with the usual team as back up until March, when I'm stepping down.
The focus of the session is to establish a base line for swimming speed, where the "test" element is the 4 x 100m - your goal is to record your highest sustainable pace whilst maintaining form - so we want you to pay attention to your starts (Push and Glide) turns (Flip where possible) and breathing (3SB) - which is why this is set at 90% effort - we want 100% focus on quality
This will be our last session of 2012 before we break up - Gala Night and Fun Swim, so I'm not posting an actual set - we will do a few warm up drills and then have a little light hearted fun with some mixed relay races. We would like to thank you for supporting us and would like to wish you all a very
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from your Team of Coaches
Regards Francis

I have a small webserver that I use to host friends websites and my churches website and things like this. Make no bones about it I do not make any money off the server at all. Its more of a hobby.
My problem is I dont know any of the commands to do anything with the server plus I am scared I may mess something up so I dont know how to do backups in Linux at all so my question is, where is the best place I could go to learn these things so I can take care of my own server so I dont have to depend on someone else to do it?
I am lucky because I helped a friend of mine start a gaming server company 5 years ago and I helped him build the business up and now he lets me place my server on his backbone and I dont get charged for bandwidth but then again I dont use alot.
I do have an old computer that I can set up and install CentOS on to mess with but again I wouldnt even know how to install it and configure it LOL.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Get yourself a book on Red Hat or Fedora e.g. Red Hat Fedora Unleashed or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Administration Unleashed. They are good for beginners and walk you through the installation procedure to setting up and administering servers. Also take a look at the install deployment guides for RHEL which are available here.

The Levity of Creative Humanity
Just a deep discussion I had with myself...
What is the importance of creativity? In order to advance as human beings, we must obtain the uncommon ground of intellectual creativity. In order to develop into human beings, we must obtain the common psyche of what creativity is. Both of these statements are born with us, will eventually collide in terms of maturity, and allow us to venture into the world with the rule of imagination, guided by our creative sense of belonging. To create is to bring a light over what is not perceivable to the naked eye at the present; a solution, or part of a solution that is to a problem, may or may not exist, or already have viable outcome.
The child asks himself: 'Who am I? Where did I come from? How did the world come into being? Who created man and all the animals? What is the purpose of life?' True, he ponders these vital questions not in the abstract, but mainly as they pertain to him. We live, in quota of our minds extent, to the rules of our imagination. As children we breathe to life the answers of the world. These answers are tangible in the mind of a child, as it provides a base of belief perceivable only to him, because the world is immediate; he is the center of this world.
As that same child grows, he finds himself more and more apt to become familiar with worlds created by others. The worlds of his own and other's form, bond, separate, and regenerate just as friends do. He finds himself in a "cradle" of sorts amongst his peers, and shows his ideas and accepts others' experiences. The ideological deck of cards is shuffled, and the creative process is born within once again.
Higher learning intuitively provides higher thinking. The ideas that drive the adolescent give prospect to his own identity, and what he must do to secure his place amidst the newly found world (made of all the other smaller worlds he found as a child) as a whole. He creatively conjures his own outcome on levels of personal prosperity. In doing so he finds a sense of levity. He might enjoy watching the critical acclaim he receives, or maybe his creativity might have lead him astray and now he must think of new possibilities to gain success.
There is a point between adolescent and adult that comes as abstract thinking. "May God us keep/From Single vision & Newton's sleep." Science provides a form of thinking that believes everything has a causation, and we must find the basic element to which caused what and why. Religion, on the other hand, gives into the belief that things are as they should be; we are delivered from a higher power, and we must attest to the laws given from the power that bind us. The boy-now-man searches now for the balance between the two.
In finding a path to his own enlightenment, and a balance between science and spirituality, the man in turn now creatively devises ways to find the answers. He uses equations, study, fact, fiction and otherwise to discourse his path and find levity in things like love, work, school, and family. He shares the ideas with the world and the world shares with him. The interaction gives insight to further give way to human advance.
Man finally enters the stage of decay that slows the creative sensitivity of a mind. Though this occurs, wisdom and experience are thus brought into the light of the world. The mind still has the insatiable desire to create, and it will, but it now focuses solely on what has been learned from creations past. He will teach and provide for the next generation, thus providing the full circle of knowledge and life, all thanks to the simple task of creativity.
The life of a human is a powerful life to behold. In examples of the past we have seen nations rise and crumble in err of human nature. Science has given rise to what are considered miracles by many, and religion has given a firm base to where we need to start as higher thinkers. It is a silly thing to say that God had provided something scientifically common as toothpaste. But it would make sense to say that the idea was handed down to man by God to create such a thing, to further improve the quality of humanity and give rise to the advancement of tooth care and the science of dentistry. The idea had to spawn from somewhere, not possibly out of the wind in a mind of one man. Coincidentally, the product had to develop scientifically, with time, to provide the necessary level of treatment.
We produce, live, reproduce, and die not in vain though. We the not-so-savage animals of this planet have managed to think our way out of the holes of primitivism, and give rise to humanity. We will always continue to direct our thoughts to find an outcome to better suite our condition. We will always search beyond our own comprehension in attempt to prove the things that keep up from the unlimited void. Even when we reach that destination, we will still find ourselves grasping out into the air of the future, advancing just a little further, and digging a little deeper, because creatively, we can. And we will.

The Knicks Fix: In Honoring Mase, Hardaway Jr. Might Have Found His Game

You remember that old rhyme, "In fourteen-hundred ninety two, Ensisheim struck the planet blue?" No? Well, that might be because we just made it up, but it's still a fact. On this day over 500 years ago (just before noon local time), a meteorite fell in a field outside of Ensisheim in what's now France and was heard 100 miles away. Known as the "thunderstone of Ensisheim," it is now recognized as the oldest witnessed meteorite fall in the West from which pieces are preserved, as well as the oldest meteorite with a precise date of impact (thanks to the advent of movable type). Neato, huh? And from oldest things, we take you to our newest things, the first of which also makes a big bada boom....
Sometimes, you have to dress up nice for work. And sometimes, you can be a little more relaxed. Those relaxed times are when we can show our true colors (sometimes literally). These two Legend of Zelda polos are perfect for any casual situation you find yourself in, especially when you have to show your allegiance to the Royal Family of Hyrule. One polo has an embroidered Hylian Shield, while the other has an embroidered Hyrule Emblem. No boring alligators or horseback game players for you! Take your business casual to Hyrule and back again!
Space: the final frontier. With this tote at your side, you can explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go where no bag has gone before. This Star Trek Retro Tech Tote Bag features the red, blue, and gold division colors of ST:TOS along with a silver enterprise stitched on the exterior. The interior features a sweet Star-Trek-themed lining and padding all around, so you can keep your tricorder in here without worrying about busting it. The top closes with a double zipper to keep all your stuff safe, and the bottom is a single piece of textured polyurethane so if you put it in a puddle while you're on another planet with your landing party, you won't have to worry if it's water. Now if it's acid, we can't help you so much....
Old books are the best. They smell good, they feel good in your hands, they look good on your shelf, and they are full of all sorts of words (many of which are good). But there's just one problem: no matter how much you want to, it's frowned upon to write in old books. So, that's why we found these old-looking books! They're all patterned after real old books (some as old as 1697!), but they are totally blank. This way, you can fill them with your own doodles, sonnets, design sketches, or whatever greatness you wish to en-tome. And some day, when you are long dead, people will gaze at your brilliance (and wish they could write all over it).
Ferrofluid is magical. Ok, it's not really - it's magnetic. It sits in a suspension liquid watching and waiting. When you bring a magnet near, that's when the ferrofluid jumps to life! It leaps to the magnet, quickly swimming through its suspension liquid, and becomes all spikey. These spikes are actually illustrating the magnetic fields! Now, move the magnet around or add your own magnets and watch the gold liquid dance around inside its glass home. You'll swear it's alive and your friend, but you'd be wrong. But only partly. Because, while it's not alive, your Limited Edition Gold Ferrofluid definitely loves you.
When we think about beasts of burden, big cats are generally not anywhere on the list. Now that we think about it, though, Battle Cat probably had a few saddlebags. Still, cats are generally not known for being useful pack animals. Until now. These Tigerdome Backpacks can lend you a paw when you have a little something extra to carry. Anvils are right out. Pointy things with sharp corners? No way. However, they're great for holding something small and lightweight. They'd basically be perfect for storing a jacket you might need while you're out or a fleece throw. Of course, if you do that, you're likely to come home and find your own cat curled up inside your Tigerdome, which could be kinda cute.
As Freddy Nietzsche once said, "Without music, life would be a mistake." He then had someone pass him his axe and rocked the house down. The point is: we want to listen to our music no matter where we are, and we want it to sound great. So, we've assembled a collection of things to help us do that. The Cathedral Radio CD is a classy way to blast your tunes through a room, while the Sound Lounge lets you also do that AND put your feet up. Got some old tech you need to adapt? Then the Tape 2 GO and/or Bluetooth Cassette Adapter are just what you need. And, if all you need is a portable speaker to sing your songs to the world, snag yourself a SoundBomb. Get them all, and you'll be as awesome as Nietzsche's mustache!
Ready to be the weirdest bulb in the tree? Got some time on your hands and looking for a place to stick it? Have we got some stuff for you! If you just need a new way to express yourself, try the Creepy Horseman Puppet. It's a puppet that's half man, half horse, and half WTF?!? If, perhaps, you just need a better grasp on life, then the Giant Man Hands are for you. Just slip them on over your puny mitts, and you'll be ready to grab the horns by its world! And, when all else fails, slip your hands into a pair of Why Not Lobster Hands? Now you have all the power of your favorite Decapodian hero: Dr. John Z! Or, if you have multiple arms, you can wear 'em all at once (we're looking at you, Elzar).
You probably already know about the NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet, a brilliant mix of power, portability, and performance. Its NVIDIA Tegra K1 mobile processor taps into the same Kepler architecture that drives the world's most extreme gaming PCs. If you are a gamer, this is the tablet you dream about, desire, and deserve. But maybe you haven't dove in yet? Allow us to introduce you to some of its little friends. The NVIDIA SHIELD Wireless Controller is a precision device designed with ultra-low latency Wi-Fi connectivity for both Android and PC gaming, in addition to being compatible with both the NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet and the SHIELD Portable. The NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet Cover is super strong, with a microfiber lining for protection, and doubles as a stand, offering a variety of flexible positions to make gaming and entertainment more enjoyable. So what are you waiting for?
When monsters from another dimension break through the ocean floor, there's only one thing to do: build giant robots to punch them away. Gipsy Danger was one of those robots; perhaps THE most important of those robots. And now, to celebrate our victory over the Kaiju, there's an 18" action figure of Gipsy Danger. Appropriately battle damaged, this Gipsy features lights in the head and chest and a secondary light system for the Plastmacaster (for when you want to do some blasting). Plus, there's a removable Chain Sword (for when you need to slice and dice). Throw in over 14 points of articulation, and this Gipsy Danger can get into almost all the same poses as the original real giant robot from the documentary "Pacific Rim."
We have all sorts of ways to keep track of your days - and all of them involve some of our favorite things. If you like putting a calendar on your wall, then you should get a Monty Python or Alien Quadrilogy calendar. Each features photos and silliness (or scariness) from really creative TV shows and films. If you like your dates all over your desk, then you'll be wanting the Zombies or Quotes from George R. R. Martin desk calendars. Both feature all sorts of behind the scenes survival information about creatures who want to remove your head... or zombies. Or, just get all four and become a date-obsessed Batman villain.
In honor of this annual event, the official Bioware store has been celebrating with new releases all week long including an exclusive N7 Day 2014 t-shirt, a limited-edition Tali Statue, a N7 faux-leather jacket inspired by Commander Shepard's iconic N7 leather jacket, and today's new "N7: Tagged" limited edition lithograph by Sam Spratt. Plus, save on hoodies and t-shirts through Monday, 11/10 (pre-sale items are excluded).

Magazine article Artforum International
Christopher Knowles: Gavin Brown's Enterprise
Article excerpt
"Christopher Knowles," wrote John Ashbery in 1978, "at the age of nineteen, without exactly meaning to, has become a major figure of the New York avant-garde." For viewers encountering the artist's work for the first time in this engaging survey--the forty-five-year-old's first solo since 1988, which features a selection of his figurative oil-marker drawings, modest object arrangements, and typed text and image works--Ashbery's description is a helpful prologue. It drops clues to the story of an outside who, for thirty years, has cut a distinctive path through that most "inside" of social environments, the contemporary-art world. That Knowles has done so "without exactly meaning to" is part of the reason that his work is so intriguing.
Curator Matthew Higgs's exhibition notes explain how a prenatal condition left the artist with a form of "neurological damage" that contributed to his "complex relationship with written and spoken language." Yet despite his condition, Knowles has hardly lived the life of an isolate. In the early '70s, theater director Robert Wilson heard the boy's poetic sound recordings through a mutual friend and drafted the fourteen-year-old into an impromptu onstage appearance in The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin (1973), the beginning of an ongoing collaboration between the two men involving writing as well as performance. And Knowles's signature "Typings"--works on paper that involve idiosyncratic uses of language and simple designs produced on an electric typewriter--were published widely in the mid-'80s.
Yet despite such indicators of status in the art world, what emerged from the recent exhibition was a compelling picture of a man very much in his own world. Sunshine Superman (1987), a fifteen-minute film about Knowles made by Richard Rutkowski, depicts the artist engaged in activities that suggest the roots of the seriality, repetition, and obsessive particularity of his practice. …

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, January 28, 2009
Miss Jess Shaffer is a wonderful friend and writer, but she is absolutely wrong. Batman should never be kicked out "the Superhero club" (Inside Column "If I Were a superhero…"). While our allegiance has always been to Superman, Batman deserves the utmost respect and admiration. Miss Shaffer tries to say that Batman does not fit the term "superhero." Hah! Having saved Gotham and its peoples from various nefarious foes, he is most certainly a "hero." And as a mere human man his ability to perform these feats while risking his own mortal life it was makes him "super." Contrary to Miss Shaffer's claim that "clearly the etymology of superhero is a combination of supernatural and hero" the OED tells a different story. The prefix of 'super' does not relate to the supernatural but rather to designate something that surpasses all others. Therefore, Batman does not need supernatural abilities to be classified as a superhero. Furthermore, Miss Shaffer admits that Superman and Wonder Woman are superheroes. Funny, we believe they are in the Justice League with none other than Batman himself.
Bruce Wayne did not simply fall into this lifestyle by being bitten by a spider or born on Krypton. He chooses to help others, which makes him even more heroic. In Christopher Nolan's most recent interpretation the Caped Crusader sacrifices the opportunity of love, taints his reputation by using the cover of an egotistical billionaire, and even allows the people of the city to see him as a 'dark knight' and murderer. That is a true superhero; one that is not looking for praise or worship but simply has the best interest of the community at heart. While people like Miss Shaffer may abuse superpowers for superficial things like crepes others have a strict adherence to a code of justice like Batman. Bruce Wayne is intelligent, caring and selfless. And while Christian Bale's voice is admittedly humorous in his portrayal, that does not prevent him from being a total badass. Batman should definitely be included in "the Superhero club," and we would even nominate him to be appointed president.

Although the system is offered with an i7 option, it's not a guaranteed to work upgrade - it's not uncommon these days for systems to ship with different boards for the i7 CPUs. So - it'll wind up an experiment (that will void your warranty if that's a consideration).
Are they plug in processors, or are they soldered to the board? Seems ideal if they are plug in
They are socketed, not soldered.
That sounds easy enough upgrade. Thanks for the feedback.
So what abour your upgrade yet?
It'll have to wait till we are a bit quieter here at work, as I use it for business. I'm planning to upgrade from an I5 to an I7 variant if I can - straight processor swap.
I use it for Labview and FPGA compiling a fair bit, so clock speed / thoughput per core is the most important for me (FPGA compiler is a single core process on Labview ).
Curious to see if you were able to simply change CPU without changing the motherboard. I want to do the same thing as you with my Dell Vostro 3550 i5 2430m. Would like a plug-and-play solution. LOL.
I have to be honest, I havent had time yet due to work loads. Sorry.
From the feedback on here it seems possible. I guess the first thing would be to open it up and check the socket type. Find a processor to suit, and then check to see if the bios supports it?
Let me know if you try it before I get round to it.

They won't ask for help unless > they're desperate. It's too bad people are without power, but back to forestry. I've been a little surprised at the hooting and hollering about maple trees losing a few limbs. Maybe New England maple are different. Here in Oregon we deal mostly with broadleaf maple and vine maple. You can't kill a vine maple if you try. Broadleaf maple are a little bit less hardy, but standard practice to recondition urban broadleaf maple is to whack all the branches off, leaving about 3 feet of stub. In short order the tree will grow a new crown. It doesn't hurt the tree at all, though it slows down the growth for about 5 years. The only time we ever lose a maple is when it tips over and exposes the root ball. I'm pretty much with Steve, I think a lot of the ice damage is just media hype. If the trunk is still sound, the tree will probably recover just fine. -- Larry
