Honda cranks up music-based marketing
TV dollars shift to events, YouTube channel
American Honda is placing a major bet on music as the marketing medium of the future.
The Honda Stage initiative it announced last week will channel a "significant" chunk of the automaker's marketing dollars away from TV and into an array of music-related properties in an effort to showcase its vehicles to younger audiences. It involves an assortment of sponsorship and rights deals and will roll out in phases over the next 12 months.
At its heart is a new Honda-branded music channel on YouTube, the largest distributor of digital music, that eventually will feature videos from hundreds of live performances at festivals, concert halls and other venues, all sponsored by Honda.
The effort represents one of the largest-scale tests by an automaker of so-called content marketing as an alternative to traditional TV commercials, and could signal to competitors that it's time to rethink the allocation of their advertising dollars.
Rather than buying advertising space alongside entertainment content created elsewhere, Honda is charging into the business of hosting, curating and distributing digital media content. And by hitching its brand to music, it's tapping into a category of content with a record of attracting outsize audiences.
The effort aims to address a common problem among marketers: how to command attention of consumers under age 35 who get much of their entertainment -- including TV shows -- on the Web or mobile platforms rather than from the TV screen.
"We can put the ad with the content we want center stage," said Tom Peyton, assistant vice president of advertising and marketing for American Honda. "And we're not sharing the stage with others."
An effective conduit to young buyers is critical for Honda, which is launching two vehicles this year aimed at those consumers: the redesigned 2015 Fit subcompact and the new HR-V subcompact crossover.
The Honda Stage will be a launch platform for both vehicles, as well as for the Civic and Accord, which are the two best-sellers among retail buyers under age 35, said John Mendel, American Honda executive vice president.
Jeff Conrad, Honda Division general manager, described the Honda Stage effort as "a massive investment."
"We are spending more in the digital world than before," Conrad said "We were spending millions. Now we're spending multiples of millions."
Other automakers have experimented with content marketing, with notable success, but mostly for short periods and single vehicle launches.
Mercedes-Benz, for instance, hired filmmaker Casey Neistat to shoot four short films about the new CLA in conjunction with the car's launch last year. Eric Jillard, general manager of marketing services for Mercedes-Benz USA, said the campaign helped put the car on the shopping lists of buyers who hadn't considered Mercedes.
Hyundai, as part of the launch of the 2012 Veloster, produced and distributed a feature-length music documentary that followed disc jockeys creating electronic music. The film, Re:Generation, generated more than a billion media impressions -- the number of times it appeared, without necessarily being clicked on. Those impressions included stories in Rolling Stone and other music-focused media outlets that don't typically touch automotive content.
"It way overdelivered for us," said Steve Shannon, vice president of marketing for Hyundai Motor America.
• YouTube channel featuring videos of live performances and other music programming sponsored by Honda
• Concert series at iHeartRadio Theater Los Angeles to be promoted on Clear Channel's radio stations and its iHeartRadio digital music service
• Concert events and festivals produced by Live Nation
• Live interviews and in-studio performances at Sean Combs' Revolt Studios Hollywood, broadcast through the Revolt TV channel, smartphone apps and Honda's YouTube channel
• Performances at U.S. festivals including Governors Ball in New York, Austin City Limits and Music Midtown in Atlanta
• Expansion of Honda Civic Tour concert series to 3 tours targeting specific genres

Honda's program marks a broad expansion of its music-based partnerships, which include the annual Honda Civic Tour concert series and sponsorships of various music festivals.
With the new venture, Honda is partnering with concert promoter Live Nation and radio station giant Clear Channel to co-sponsor the Lollapalooza, Sasquatch, Austin City Limits and Governors Ball music festivals. In all, Honda said it will sponsor 200 live acts over the next 12 months.
The Honda Stage channel on YouTube picks up where those festival sponsorships leave off, featuring exclusive music videos, interviews and live performances. Each video kicks off with a 15-second Honda commercial. Content from the Honda Stage can be streamed into Honda vehicles via a smartphone app.
"This is bigger than sponsoring one event or one tour for a couple months and having it fade into the sunset," Peyton said.
He said TV commercials will continue to play a major role in Honda's advertising, including a campaign for the 2015 Fit this summer.
But dollar for dollar, Peyton said, the Honda Stage effort can generate more impressions and be more effective at reaching the target audience. He said Honda expects about 2 billion impressions from the program and, it hopes, hundreds of millions of views on the Honda Stage channel over the next 12 months.
"At that point, it really becomes a media communication outlet for us similar to anything we do on TV and it becomes really a TV replacement for us," he said. "We are changing the places where people see the ads."

Why in Explorer the light doesnot turn's on when there's any notification? always it just sounds or vibrate but dont turn the screen light on! can any 1 tell me how can i resolve this??
Hello jibran025 and welcome to Android Forums. If there is a setting to activate the phone's screen after a notification I'm unaware of it... sorry. I'm sure the thinking is that if it were to light the screen with ever notification that it would be a heavy battery drainer. Many users, depending on the notification, will ignore notifications until it is handy to address them. Grouping them and then addressing them in a bunch saves up time for the screen. You certainly wouldn't want the screen coming on while in your pocket... especially if it was a notification you weren't going to view right then. In any event, if there is a setting like you want, perhaps another user will bring it to our attention. Thanks for joining these forums and I hope you enjoy your time here.

The CF Sprayer is an easy way to create walls and barricades. It sprays construction foam that eventually hardens, depending on the light level. When used on scaffolding, it replaces the scaffolds instead of covering them. This is a great way to create walls quickly instead of building them with regular blocks.

Now that it looks like Cyprus won't be leaving the eurozone, investors should not forget that the continent has bigger problems.
Sure, Cyprus yielded about a week of scary headlines, but the Cyprus obsession served as a distraction from the real story: much of Europe is still an economic mess that has nothing to do with Russian bank deposits in the tiny island nation. There never was a silent C for Cyprus in the PIIGS acronym of troubled European nations that actually matter.
Related: The worst is yet to come for Cyprus
Stocks did pull back Monday, after an initial celebration of the Cyprus bailout. It was a pretty mild sell-off though. And the market bounced back a bit Tuesday.
But here's why you still need to be worried about Europe.
The most recently available unemployment rates in Greece, Spain and Portugal (which last I checked are all a tad bigger than in Cyprus) were 26.4%, 26.2% and 17.6% respectively.
The average for the 17 nations that use the euro currency is 11.9%. To put that in perspective, the U.S. unemployment rate is only 7.7%, a level that is still rightfully considered uncomfortably high. Unemployment is at least falling in the United States. In Europe, the jobless rate is higher than a year ago. Europe is getting worse, not better.
"The main problems in Europe have not disappeared, particularly in Italy and Greece," said Ashraf Laidi, chief global strategist with City Index Ltd. in London, adding that so far, it seems European politicians only act aggressively at the last minute.
Related: Cyprus banks still closed after bailout
According to estimates from Eurostat, the eurozone economy is expected to shrink 0.3% this year. That follows a 0.6% contraction in 2012. What's more, GDP is only expected to "rebound" by 1.4% in 2014.
It's clear that austerity is not helping the most problematic economies in Europe. Voters are not happy either, as witnessed by the backlash against the party of Italian prime minister Mario Monti in recent parliamentary elections. That's left Italy, the third-largest economy in Europe and the third-biggest bond market in the world, without a government. As they'd say in my ancestral homeland, non va bene!
And even "stronger" euro nations like France, the Netherlands and Germany are getting dragged down. Eurostat is predicting essentially no economic growth in France this year and a decline in GDP for the Dutch. Germany's economy is expected to grow by just 0.5% this year.
Heck, one could argue that the only reason the euro is holding up as well as it has against the U.S. dollar over the past few months is because of Germany.
Resentment among the northern European countries seems to be running high and that could intensify.
Reports that Dutch Finance Minister and Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem said the Cyprus bailout, which will tax large bank depositors at the nation's two top banks, could be a "template" for the rest of Europe spooked investors Monday. A spokesperson for the Eurogroup denied the comments but the damage was done.
Germany is likely to remain vehemently against substantial increases in aid for the laggards of Europe as well. After all, German chancellor Angela Merkel faces an election in September.
Clearly, the haves in Europe would rather that the have-nots get more "bail-ins" as opposed to bailouts.
That's a huge problem. One of the biggest criticisms of the European Union is that the second part of that name is sort of a joke.
"What we didn't like in Europe at the start of 2012 is still going on today. The right hand is doing one thing and the left is doing another. There is no true fiscal unity," says Eli Butnaru, CEO of Mora Wealth Management in Miami. "Structurally, nothing has been done to increase productivity. Austerity is not the answer."
There are still big questions about the stability of the banks in the so-called peripheral nations of Europe as well. Shares of Spain's Banco Santander (SAN) and BBVA (BBVA), the National Bank of Greece (NBG) and Italy's UniCredit (UNCFF) have not participated in the global stock market run-up this year. In fact, neither have the stocks of banks in healthier European nations, such as Deutsche Bank (DB), ING (ING) and Societe Generale (SCGLY).
That is troublesome too. As the United States learned during the Great Recession, it's hard for the markets and economy to function normally without a healthy banking system.
"TARP is a four-letter word, but the injection of bailout funds to banks in the U.S. definitely helped the economy recover faster even though it risked taxpayers' money," said Scott Colbert, chief economist of Commerce Banschares (CBSH), a Kansas City, Mo.-based bank that did not take TARP funds. "There is no master plan to recapitalize European banks and there seems to be no political will to do so."

At some point, European leaders really have to address the problems more directly instead of with a piecemeal strategy.
"The sovereign debt crisis in Europe has been an excruciatingly slow-moving wreck since 2010," said Wasif Latif, vice president of equity investments with USAA in San Antonio. "The worst may be off the table, but we are not out of the woods yet."
To quote British rock band (and guilty pleasure) Muse, "this chaos, it defies imagination." Fortunately, the market has not yet completed the lyric and "arrived at panic station." But more market sell-offs are inevitable as long as Europe does not take the crisis seriously.
The eurozone collectively is the world's largest economy. Investors can't continue to glibly dismiss Europe's woes as an isolated problem.
"This is an interconnected global market where money moves fast. Every time there is a new flare-up in Europe, there is reason for concern," Latif said.
The world's top mutual fund managers say the U.S. stock rally is about to come to an end.
More than half, or 58%, of 253 fund managers surveyed by Bank of America Merrill Lynch say stocks are the most overvalued investments in the world. That's up from 51% in an August survey.

With its global live range splitting, the greedy algorithm generates code that is 1-2% smaller, and up to 10% faster than code produced by linear scan.
Lessons learned from linear scan
Linear scan has been the default register allocator in LLVM since 2004. It has worked surprisingly well for such a simple algorithm. In fact, the simple design made it easier to tweak the algorithm in order to make small improvements to the generated code. More advanced register allocation algorithms often need to build expensive data structures, or they make assumptions about live ranges being invariant. That makes it difficult to, say, commute a two-address instruction on the fly, or rematerialize a constant pool load instead of spilling it to the stack.A new register allocation algorithm needs to preserve this simplicity. It must be possible to change the machine code while the algorithm is running.
Linear scan depends on the virtual register rewriter to clean up the code after registers have been assigned. In theory, the rewriter should only rewrite virtual registers to their assigned physical registers, but it knows many other tricks. When linear scan does something silly like reloading a register from a stack slot twice, the rewriter will clean up the code by reusing the first register and eliminating the second reload. The algorithm is local, and it cannot clean up messes that extend beyond a single basic block. The rewriter always saves the day by removing obvious mistakes. It comes at a high price, though. It accounts for about half of the linear scan compile time, and its large collection of tricks makes the code very hard to maintain.
A new register allocator should avoid making obvious mistakes so the rewriter can concentrate on rewriting registers.
As the name implies, linear scan works by visiting live ranges in a linear order. It maintains an active list of live ranges that are live at the current point in the function, and this is how it detects interference without computing the full interference graph. The active list is the key to linear scan's speed, but it is also its greatest weakness.
When all physical registers are blocked by interfering live ranges in the active list, a live range is selected for spilling. Live ranges being spilled without being split first cause the mess that the rewriter is working so hard to clean up. We would much rather split them into smaller pieces that might be assignable, but this would require the linear scan algorithm to backtrack. This is very expensive, and full live range splitting isn't really feasible with linear scan.
Basic allocator
The new basic allocator does away with linear scan's dependence on visiting live ranges in linear order. Instead, it uses a priority queue to visit live range in order of decreasing spill weight. The active list used for interference checks is replaced with a set of live interval unions. Implemented as a B+ tree per physical register, they are an efficient way of checking for interference with already assigned live ranges. Unlike the active list, live interval unions work with any priority queue order.When a live range cannot be assigned to any physical register in its register class, it is spilled. Because live ranges are assigned in order of decreasing spill weight, all the interfering live ranges in the live interval union have a higher spill weight. It is not necessary to look for a better spill candidate.
On CISC architectures, the spill slot memory accesses can often be folded into existing instructions. On RISC architectures, explicit load and store instructions must be inserted. This will also create new tiny live ranges between the spill code and the original instructions using the spilled live range. These new live ranges are put back on the priority queue with an infinite spill weight—they cannot be spilled again.
Technically, these small live ranges with high spill weight should have been assigned first, but the basic allocator never backtracks. Therefore, it can happen that such a live range is blocked by already assigned live ranges with smaller spill weights. In that case, the allocator picks a physical register and spills the interfering live ranges assigned to that register instead.
The basic allocator produces code very similar to linear scan's output, and it also depends on the virtual register rewriter to clean up the code for good results. It doesn't offer significant advantages over linear scan, and it is intended mostly for testing the framework of priority queues and live interval unions. The basic algorithm is very simple, and it offers many opportunities for tweaking. Greedy does just that.
Greedy allocator
The first thing to notice about the basic algorithm is that its priority queue order doesn't work well for coloring registers optimally. Spill weights are computed as use densities, and small live ranges tend to have high spill weights. This means that all the tiny live ranges are allocated first. They use up the first registers in the register class, and the large live ranges get to fight over the leftovers. Most of them end up spilling.Greedy avoids this problem by allocating the large live ranges first. This makes the full register class available for the large ranges, and the small ranges can often fit in the gaps. Some functions have too many large live ranges, so there is not enough room for all the small live ranges. It would be really bad to spill small live ranges with high spill weights, so instead already assigned live ranges with lower spill weight can be evicted from the live range union. Evicted live ranges are unassigned from their physical register and put back in the priority queue. They get a second chance at being assigned somewhere else, or they can move on to live range splitting.
When a live range cannot find interfering live ranges it is allowed to evict, it is not spilled right away. If possible, it is split into smaller pieces that are put back on the priority queue. This is a very important optimization. A large live range may be idle a lot of the time, but used intensively in a hot loop. By creating a separate live range covering the hot loop, there is a good chance it will be assigned a register. The remaining live range may spill outside the loop where it was idle anyway. A live range is only spilled when the splitter decides that splitting it won't help. That usually happens after all the busy regions have been separated, and the remaining live range only has a few copies to and from the busy registers.
The interaction between live range splitting and eviction creates a process of gradual refinement. As live ranges are split around busy regions, they get a higher spill weight. This may allow them to evict older live ranges that are less busy in that region. The evicted ranges are split, and so on.
The gradual process of splitting usually terminates before the live ranges become tiny, and the end result is a set of live ranges covering multiple instructions, or even multiple basic blocks. This means that there is nothing for the rewriter to clean up, and indeed greedy uses a completely trivial rewriter that is 85 lines of code compared to 2600 in the old rewriter.
The code generated by the greedy algorithm is almost always better than what linear scan can do. Usually this is because live range splitting was able to eliminate spill code from loops. Greedy does know some more tricks, though.
It was an important design goal to make the algorithm as flexible as possible, and to avoid introducing arbitrary constraints. It is possible to change machine code and live ranges at any time. Simply evict the relevant live ranges, make the change, and put them back on the queue.This flexibility allows many tweaks to the register allocator:
- Register preferences. Function arguments are passed in specific physical registers defined by the ABI. LLVM represents this with copies between physical and virtual registers before and after function calls. The register allocator tries to assign the virtual registers to the same physical registers, so the copies can be eliminated. Linear scan was never really good at this—the preferred physical register had often been occupied by an earlier assignment. Greedy can simply evict the earlier assignment when that happens.
- Prefer small encodings. On architectures like ARM Thumb2 and x86-64, some registers require a larger instruction encoding. Greedy will evict less important live ranges from the cheap registers before it assigns an expensive register. This means that the larger instruction encodings are used less often, and overall code size decreases.
- Dead code elimination. Optimizations like rematerialization cause live ranges to be shorter, or even completely unused. Greedy will recompute the live ranges exactly, and recursively eliminate dead code.
- Register class inflation. Live range splitting creates virtual registers that are used by fewer instructions. This sometimes lifts a constraint, so the virtual register can be moved to a larger register class. Depending on the architecture, this can double the number of registers available to the new live range.

Worldwide PC shipments totaled 76.3 million units in the first quarter of 2013 (1Q13), down -13.9% compared to the same quarter in 2012 and worse than the forecast decline of -7.7%, according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker. The extent of the year-on-year contraction marked the worst quarter since IDC began tracking the PC market quarterly in 1994. The results also marked the fourth consecutive quarter of year-on-year shipment declines.
Despite some mild improvement in the economic environment and some new PC models offering Windows 8, the IDC researchers found that PC shipments were down significantly across all regions compared to a year ago. Fading Mini Notebook shipments have taken a big chunk out of the low-end market while tablets and smartphones continue to divert consumer spending. PC industry efforts to offer touch capabilities and ultraslim systems have been hampered by traditional barriers of price and component supply, as well as a weak reception for Windows 8. The PC industry is struggling to identify innovations that differentiate PCs from other products and inspire consumers to buy, and instead is meeting significant resistance to changes perceived as cumbersome or costly.
"At this point, unfortunately, it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only failed to provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to have slowed the market," says Bob O'Donnell, IDC Program Vice President, Clients and Displays. "While some consumers appreciate the new form factors and touch capabilities of Windows 8, the radical changes to the UI, removal of the familiar Start button, and the costs associated with touch have made PCs a less attractive alternative to dedicated tablets and other competitive devices. Microsoft will have to make some very tough decisions moving forward if it wants to help reinvigorate the PC market."
IDC says the impact of slow demand has been magnified by the restructuring and reorganizing efforts impacting HP and Dell. Lenovo remains a notable exception as it continues to execute on a solid "attack" strategy. Mid- and bottom-tier vendors are also struggling to identify growth markets within the U.S. Among the most vulnerable group of vendors are the whitebox system builders, which are undergoing consolidation that is affecting shipments as well as the distribution sector.
"Although the reduction in shipments was not a surprise, the magnitude of the contraction is both surprising and worrisome," says David Daoud, IDC Research Director, Personal Computing. "The industry is going through a critical crossroads, and strategic choices will have to be made as to how to compete with the proliferation of alternative devices and remain relevant to the consumer. Vendors will have to revisit their organizational structures and go to market strategies, as well as their supply chain, distribution, and product portfolios in the face of shrinking demand and looming consolidation."
Regional Highlights
United States: The U.S. market had another dismal quarter in 1Q13, contracting -12.7% year on year, with a drop of -18.3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. With total volume falling to 14.2 million, quarterly shipments reached their lowest level since the first quarter of 2006. With this latest figure, the U.S. is now in its tenth consecutive quarter of year-on-year contraction (excluding a brief moment of growth less than 2% year on year in 3Q11).
EMEA: As expected, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) remained constrained, posting a stronger double-digit decline than anticipated in the first quarter of 2013. Results fell short of expectations in the consumer segment as softness in demand persisted amid a continued shift to tablets and ongoing budget pressures. Meanwhile, the market response to Windows 8 and touch-enabled devices remained slow, leading to cautious sell-in from most vendors. Shipments in the commercial market remained constrained as predicted, following continued economic pressure and lack of major IT renewals.
Japan: PC shipments were in line with expectations in the first quarter. Some economic improvement is helping to support commercial replacement demand ahead of the scheduled end of support for Windows XP next year. However, consumer shipments remained very weak.
Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) (APeJ): PC shipments in APeJ declined sharply, dropping a record -12.7% year on year, the first time the region has experienced a double-digit decline. Although much of the earlier Windows 7 stock had cleared, a lukewarm reception toward Windows 8 hampered new shipments. China's inactivity contributed heavily to the decline, as public sector spending continued to be constrained.
Vendor Highlights
HP remained the top vendor, but posted a substantial double-digit decline in shipments after an aggressive fourth quarter kept growth flat during the holidays. HP's worldwide shipments fell more than -23% year on year in 1Q13, with significant declines across all regions, as internal restructuring continued to affect commercial sales. Although HP maintained its leadership position in the United States, the company saw U.S. shipments fall -22.9% from a year ago.
Lenovo remained second in global shipments and nearly closed the gap with HP. Lenovo continued to outpace the market, notably expanding shipments with its attack strategy. In the United States, Lenovo outperformed the market with double digit year-on-year growth compared to the market's double-digit contraction. Shipments in Asia/Pacific declined, however, keeping Lenovo's overall growth flat.
Dell saw shipments decline by more than -10% globally and -14% in the United States. The vendor continued to face tough competition and struggled with customer uncertainty about the direction of its restructuring. Nevertheless, the decline in shipments was smaller than the past few quarters, and its sales to Asia/Pacific returned to positive growth.
Acer Group continued to see substantial declines in shipments across regions. As the leader in Mini Notebook shipments, the vendor has been particularly exposed to the decline in these systems. Slow consumer and SMB growth has also taken a toll. In a sequential comparison, Acer's market share rose slightly to 8.1% in 1Q12 from 8.0% in 4Q12, halting its market share decline.
ASUS managed some growth in the United States, but saw a substantial decline in EMEA and Asia/Pacific. The company's substantial surge in Americas shipments in the second half of 2012 gave way to limited growth as demand weakened.
Apple fared better than the overall U.S. market, but still saw shipments decline as its own PCs also face competition from iPads.
Toshiba also saw shipments decline in the United States, but fared better than the overall market, benefitting somewhat from the restructuring of market leaders HP and Dell.
Table Notes:
- Some IDC estimates prior to financial earnings reports.
Shipments include shipments to distribution channels or end users. – OEM sales are counted under the vendor/brand under which they are sold.
- PCs include Desktops, Portables, Mini Notebooks, and Workstations and do not include handhelds, x86 Servers and Tablets (i.e. iPad and Android-based Tablets with detachable keyboards). Data for all vendors are reported for calendar periods.
IDC's Worldwide Quarterly PC Tracker gathers PC market data in over 80 countries by vendor, form factor, brand, processor brand and speed, sales channel and user segment. The research includes historical and forecast trend analysis as well as price band and installed base data.

While not a big fan of "Insta" or "Perma" focus binoculars these work fairly well. The weight makes them easily packable for an all day hunt. With my corrective eye sight surgery these do cause some eye strain after a full day of glassing but I have mono vision after surgery. For someone looking for a good pair of bino's for their hunt and being able to see in distance these should work very well for him/her.

The Regal Red was almost extinct. Fortunately, it had not completely disappeared. We can save it, improve it, and help it make a comeback. A Regal Red turkey is solid red with some markings. The outer red of the adult is approximately the same as the Bourbon Red; the body feathers of the Regal Red remain a lighter shade of red next to the skin.The Regal Red has NO white in the tail or wing feathers. Also, the tail feathers have a darker band near the end and a light band at the end of each feather. On the wing feathers of both the tom and the hen, there is some peppering of black.The tail feathers of the tom have a blackish/dark red band and then the light feather edging. The legs are reddish.
The Regal Red poult at hatch is light yellow to pure white and over a period of several months its new feathers gradually transform its outer color into a solid red bird with the few feather accents noted above.
The Regal Red genotype is (b1b1rr) Homozygous for Black winged bronze and red. A true breeding variety
More breeders are seriously needed to insure the survival of the Regal Red. Approx. mature weights: Toms 30 lbs. hens 15 lbs.
Poults are light yellow to pure white at hatch

Comments about R-Gear SCULPTED VISOR Headwear: This visor did a great job. The brim was long enough to shade my eyes, but not so long that it was always in my peripheral vision. The band itself absorbed all sweat so that none dripped in my eye on a 15 mile run on an 80 deg. day. I am beyond impressed.
Best Uses
Comments about R-Gear SCULPTED VISOR Headwear: Great value and comfortable, though maybe not as stylish as some of the name brand visors.
Best Uses Comments about R-Gear SCULPTED VISOR Headwear: I wanted to like this visor. The price and color are great, but the fit and design are subpar. First, the bill is so long. While I appreciate coverage from the sun as much as anyone, it's beyond what's necessary for sun-protection. Visors are already dorky enough—why make it goofier? Secondly, the visor is too big, even if it's adjusted to the max. Unless you have super thick hair and/or a larger head, the visor doesn't stay on well. Also, while it's lightweight, if the wind blows at all, the visor flies right off. I bought this after losing my Asics visor, which was perfect, and they don't make that one anymore :(
Cons Best Uses Comments about R-Gear SCULPTED VISOR Headwear: Used it for the first time on a humid sunny morning. Worked great as a sweat band and shields the sun. I had no problems with fit.
Cons Best Uses Comments about R-Gear SCULPTED VISOR Headwear: Love this visor!
Best Uses
Comments about R-Gear SCULPTED VISOR Headwear: I needed something to keep the sun off my face while I run. This was on sale for $7 so I figured I had to give it a try. Like other reviews mentioned, it is a bit big. I'm an average sized woman and I've had to adjust it to almost as small as it can go. I've used it on a handful of runs and it does the job. It's comfortable and light, and doesn't move around on my head. It also does a good job keeping sweat out of my eyes. I plan to bring it on vacation to wear by the pool. I definitely recommend this product, unless you have an abnormally small head.
Best Uses
Comments about R-Gear SCULPTED VISOR Headwear: Even though the visor is adjustable, it is not sticking together. I don't think I have a small head; but I need to pull the strap in almost all the way. It does provide some shade to your face. However, it is not breathable and feels really hot and steamy after a while.
Best Uses Comments about R-Gear SCULPTED VISOR Headwear: I bought this to run with since cutting my hair rather short. It is fairly inexpensive and plain, but it does the job and sometimes plain is good. My only complaint is that putting it at its tightest, it is too big! I know I have a smaller head, but not THAT small. Instead of returning it I jimmy rigged it with a safety pin which worked for me.

Capcom has dated their update to Street Fighter X Mega Man as January 18th, and on the list of new stuff are "MM2-style passwords," reveals the company blog. They also promise overall performance boosts. Controller support is stronger also with this Friday's Street Fighter X Mega Man V2. Bad guy M Bison is also "buffed a bit" for a better challenge. They warn of slowdowns on Intel Integrated GPUs. "We spent the holiday break looking at your feedback and have since made a few adjustments to last month's SFxMM freebie," they blogged via Capcom-Unity. Among minor improvements, Capcom noted the following tweaks: -Confirmation prompt before exiting (ESC) or resetting (F12) the game -E Tank glitch and various other bugs fixed -Improved controller support (Game defaults to keyboard on launch; make sure controller is plugged in prior to opening the file, then go into Options menu and set keys) -Take screenshots using F9 -M Bison buffed a bit (This place shall become your grave!)

I liked Fairytail. It's cute. I lust for the blue cat Happy... he is just so adorable. I stopped watching though, it got very repetitive after awhile, maybe I'll continue sometime.
Even if you hate Fairytail it has a great OST that you can still enjoy separately from the anime.
Aw yeah, dat celtic (keltic? I dunno how to spell it) metal.
Happy is the best character by far lol, a good mix of adorableness and trolling.
They also put in an entire filler arc, so if u start watching again and it's about the "Infinity Clock", you can basically skip ahead 30 episodes.

Ah, ok. Thanks. One more question. Another thing that bothered me was the time skip and the fact that basically their guild was now considered a bunch of nobodies and run down. Is this still the case or are they somewhat back to being at what they used to be. Basically, what's the current situation of Fairy Tail without getting too many spoilers.

Their guild is still shown as one of the weakest guilds in the continent, as they lost the Grand Magic Games all the years the core group of FT was gone, they are entering the games once again with Natsu & Co, so they can redeem theirselves.
and @ summary, do u mean of the filler arc or what happened in general?
~ "I've got a special deal... a one way ticket to hell!" ~
Ah, well that's lame. Just everything that happened in general, excluding this current arc.

I think I might just slowly rewatch all of the epsiodes. It's been like 30 episodes (that's like 7 1/2 months, not including weeks episodes may not of aired) since I was last current with Fairy Tail, so I don't exactly remember everything and I'm not as attached to the characters as I once was, so just jumping into the current arc probably wont be nearly as enjoyable and have as much impact.
i have to + on cowboy bebop as starter anime good mecha/love/comedy starter is Full Metal Panic if they like Mecha's Gundam 00 is also good for Magical Girl starters Card Captor Sakura for a basic adventure fight anime Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and for comedy xxholic (TRC CCS and XXHolic are all from clamp and all great classics in my opinion )
for the FT Summary u want to know everything from the start up to the current arc? or just what happend after edolas arc?
the FT summary from start to now would basicly be Natsu meets lucy lucy joins FT Lucy and Natsu go on some missions then they go on a S Class mission on an Island with a big bad demon they there meet Leon that is a friend and fellow pupil of grey. Erza comes to they beat demon they all go back to Magnolia. Lucy gets abducted FT goes into an all out war they win in the end and juvia and gajeel join FT. Then comes the Tower arc (about erzas past) they meet jelall, or however he is called, that is possesed by zeref they beat him (like they always do ). Then somewhere in between they fight with a dark guild also a filler arc with an artifical dragon. Then starts the Edolas arc (the 2nd earth world and also the homeworld of the flying cats!). Then finally comes the S Class exam on the FT Island and yeah afterwards the filler arc then daimou enbo

I was wondering, assume Fate/Zero didn't have to attend to the fact Fate/Stay existed, and Gen Urobuchi had full reign on it, how do you think it would of went?
Yeah, everything lol. And that's ok, I have plenty of time. I managed to get all my classes on M/W so I have 5 free days to do whatever. It'll take a while, but if I watch a couple episodes every day I'll catch up eventually. Plus, then I'll have even more new episodes I haven't seen yet.
I just watched Magi #15 and all I can say is... MAN KASSIM IS A DICK.
That is all.

The Relationship Between Elastomer Opacity, Colorimetric Beam Size, and Measured Colorimetric Response
The effect of opacity on the colorimetric responses of large-area and small-area colorimeters was determined using an elastomer intended for maxillofacial prosthetics use and containing various pigments at different concentrations. Opacity was determined by calculating the contrast ratio of 2-mm-thick specimens against black and white backings, using Kubelka-Munk analyses to correct for thickness and backing color variations. The measure of comparison of the two colorimeters was the relative difference in tristimulus reflectance, with the tristimulus reflectance of the large-area colorimeter as the basis of the relative difference. A significant quadratic relationship was found between contrast ratio and the relative difference in tristimulus reflectance. This relationship may be used to describe opacity without the need to make optical observations or measurements of a thin layer of material on contrasting backings. The small-area colorimeter produced color parameters that are a measure of the combined effects of both color and opacity. The importance of beam size considerations of optical measuring devices for translucent natural and prosthetic materials was emphasized.
