Nintendo has become the latest group to bet on the craze sweeping screens of all sizes, as it plans to release a games machine with 3D images: one with no need for the silly glasses.
The Japanese gaming giant announced yesterday it was to release a handheld device currently dubbed the "Nintendo 3DS" sometime before the end of its next financial year, which runs to 31 March 2011. The machine will succeed its existing DS series of handheld gaming devices, which have proved hugely popular, selling a total of 125 million by last year.
Excited gamers will have to wait until June to get a sneak peak at the devices, as the company said it would announce further details at the annual video games show E3 in Los Angeles.
Yesterday's news took the gaming community by surprise, and the sparse announcement prompted a wave of speculation over how the 3D effects would be realised and other features of the device would contain.
The gadget website Gizmodo speculated that the 3DS may have motion-led gaming, similar to games on the iPhone and iPod Touch, and possibly 3D control sticks. There was also speculation that the device would contain a 3G sim to allow downloads including ebooks.
This month Sony said it would bring 3D graphics to the PlayStation 3, while executives predicted the company would sell 2.5 million 3D ready televisions this year. Sony first demonstrated what 3D games could look like on the PlayStation 3 at the industry trade show CES in Las Vegas 2009.
The success of Avatar in cinemas has prompted electronics companies to race to back 3D technology with a series of TVs set for release, while broadcasters are upping 3D content.

Spin-polarized transport in ferromagnetic tunnel junctions, characterized by tunnel magnetoresistance, has already been proven to have great potential for application in the field of spintronics and in magnetic random access memories. Until recently, in such a junction the insulating barrier played only a passive role, namely to facilitate electron tunnelling between the ferromagnetic electrodes. However, new possibilities emerged when ferroelectric materials were used for the insulating barrier, as these possess a permanent dielectric polarization switchable between two stable states. Adding to the two different magnetization alignments of the electrode, four non-volatile states are therefore possible in such multiferroic tunnel junctions. Here, we show that owing to the coupling between magnetization and ferroelectric polarization at the interface between the electrode and barrier of a multiferroic tunnel junction, the spin polarization of the tunnelling electrons can be reversibly and remanently inverted by switching the ferroelectric polarization of the barrier. Selecting the spin direction of the tunnelling electrons by short electric pulses in the nanosecond range rather than by an applied magnetic field enables new possibilities for spin control in spintronic device

Simple Blessings
What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
if I were a wise man, I would do my part.
Yet what I can I give him--give my heart.
For the past couple of years I've been working on Christmas decorations for the home and tree that are handmade and meaningful. I love primitive artwork in all mediums and have gotten very interested in primitive soft sculptures. "Simple Blessings" is one of several different primitive soft sculptures that I've been sewing, stuffing, staining and painting.
Each lamb has a heat set message on one side and the opposite side I left blank.
I can dress them up with a scarf or bell or leave them plain.
I purchased the pattern to make these "Simple Blessings" from Stacey Meade of Raven's Haven.
I have several more primitive soft sculptures in the works and will be adding to this flock as well.
I'm honored to say that I was featured on Carolyn's website HOMEWORK:

KAPALUA - Hyundai Hope On Wheels last week announced it will return to Hawaii for the Hyundai Hope On Wheels 5K Run/Walk on Maui on Saturday, Jan. 4, 2014 at 8 a.m.
After its successful inaugural 5K on Maui in 2013, Hope On Wheels will kickoff its 2014 5K Run/Walk Series at Whalers Village to benefit children battling cancer in Hawaii.
The event will be held in conjunction with the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, which marks the PGA Tour's resumption in January (following a break of the 2013-14 tournament schedule) and features an exclusive field consisting only of winners of PGA Tour events from the 2013 calendar year.
"We are excited to bring our signature 5K back to the beautiful island of Maui and raise money for pediatric cancer programs in Hawaii," said Zafar Brooks, director of corporate social responsibility, Hyundai Motor America.
"Through Hope On Wheels and our partnership with Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Oahu, families on Maui and across the entire State of Hawaii will have greater access to critical pediatric cancer breakthroughs."
Runners and walkers of all ages and skill levels are invited to participate in this family fun event to help kids fight cancer.
Participants can register online at www.HopeOnWheels.org/Maui for $30 until Dec. 9, when the price will increase to $35. Onsite registration will be available at $40.
Children 6-12 years of age can participate in the 5K for a discounted rate of $15, which will increase on Dec. 9 to $20. Kids ages 3-6 receive complimentary registration.
All participants will receive a race running shirt and bib, commemorative medal, chip timing and two tickets to the Hyundai Tournament of Champions golf tournament in Kapalua.
The 5K will also feature a sponsors' expo and the family fun celebration, where awards will be given to the top finishers.
"We are one of the only comprehensive care facilities for children in the State of Hawaii and the Pacific, and it is critical that we receive community support," said Martha Smith, chief operating officer at Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children.
"Because of the efforts of our local Hyundai dealers and Hope On Wheels, we can continue to implement lifesaving research to improve the lives of the many children that walk through our doors."
"As part of this 5K event, Hope On Wheels will award a $75,000 Hyundai Scholar Grant to Kapi'olani Medical Center," said Mickey Pong, chairman of the Hyundai Hope On Wheels Board of Directors.
"On behalf of all Hyundai dealers, we are pleased to award our first grant of 2014 and the net proceeds of the 5K to Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children."
In addition to the 5K run/walk, Hyundai continues to be the title sponsor of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions PGA Tour golf tournament for the fourth year in a row.
The tournament begins on Friday, Jan. 3, and ends on Monday, Jan. 6, 2014 at The Plantation Course in Kapalua.
Charity is an important part of the event. Since 1999, the host organizations of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions have distributed more than $4 million to charities in the Maui community.
In honor of this special event, each adult 5K registration will come with two any-day passes to the tournament.

The International Astrophysical Observatory "GRANAT" (usually known as Granat; Russian: Гранат), was a Soviet (later Russian) space observatory developed in collaboration with France, Denmark and Bulgaria. It was launched on 1 December 1989 aboard a Proton rocket and placed in a highly eccentric four-day orbit, of which three were devoted to observations. It operated for almost nine years.
In September 1994, after nearly five years of directed observations, the gas supply for its attitude control was exhausted and the observatory was placed in a non-directed survey mode. Transmissions finally ceased on 27 November 1998.[3]
With seven different instruments on board, Granat was designed to observe the universe at energies ranging from X-ray to gamma ray. Its main instrument, SIGMA, was capable of imaging both hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray sources. The PHEBUS instrument was meant to study gamma-ray bursts and other transient X-Ray sources. Other experiments such as ART-P were intended to image X-Ray sources in the 35 to 100 keV range. One instrument, WATCH, was designed to monitor the sky continuously and alert the other instruments to new or interesting X-Ray sources. The ART-S spectrometer covered the X-ray energy range while the KONUS-B and TOURNESOL experiments covered both the X-ray and gamma ray spectrum.
Granat was a three-axis-stabilized spacecraft and the last of the Venera-class spacecraft produced by the Lavochkin Scientific Production Association. It was similar to the Astron observatory which was functional from 1983 to 1989; for this reason, the spacecraft was originally known as the Astron 2. It weighed 4.4 metric tons and carried almost 2.3 metric tons of international scientific instrumentation. Granat stood 6.5 m tall and had a total span of 8.5 m across its solar arrays. The power made available to the scientific instruments was approximately 400 W.[1]
Launch and orbit[edit]
The spacecraft was launched on 1 December 1989 aboard a Proton rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakh SSR. It was placed in a highly eccentric 98-hour orbit with an initial apogee/perigee of 202,480 km/1,760 km respectively and an inclination of 51.9 degrees.[4] This meant that solar and lunar perturbations would significantly increase the orbits inclination while reducing its eccentricity, such that the orbit had become near-circular by the time Granat completed its directed observations in September 1994. (By 1991, the perigee had increased to 20,000 km; by September 1994, the apogee/perigee was 59,025 km / 144,550 km at an inclination of 86.7 degrees.)
Three days out of the four-day orbit were devoted to observations.[8] After over nine years in orbit, the observatory finally reentered the Earth's atmosphere on May 25, 1999.[2]

The hard X-ray and low-energy gamma-ray SIGMA telescope was a collaboration between CESR (Toulouse) and CEA (Saclay). It covered the energy range 35–1300 keV,[5] with an effective area of 800 cm2 and a maximum sensitivity field of view of ~5°×5°. The maximum angular resolution was 15 arcmin.[9] The energy resolution was 8% at 511 keV.[8] Its imaging capabilities were derived from the association of a coded mask and a position sensitive detector based on the Anger camera principle.[3]
The ART-P X-ray telescope was the responsibility of the IKI in Moscow. The instrument covered the energy range 4 to 60 keV for imaging and 4 to 100 keV for spectroscopy and timing. There were four identical modules of the ART-P telescope, each consisting of a position sensitive multi-wire proportional counter (MWPC) together with a URA coded mask. Each module had an effective area of approximately 600 cm², producing a field of view of 1.8° by 1.8°. The angular resolution was 5 arcmin; temporal and energy resolutions were 3.9 ms and 22% at 6 keV, respectively.[6] The instrument achieved a sensitivity of 0.001 of the Crab nebula source (= 1 "mCrab") in an eight-hour exposure. The maximum time resolution was 4 ms.[3][8]
The ART-S X-ray spectrometer, also built by the IKI, covered the energy range 3 to 100 keV. Its field of view was 2° by 2°. The instrument consisted of four detectors based on spectroscopic MWPCs, making an effective area of 2,400 cm² at 10 keV and 800 cm² at 100 keV. The time resolution was 200 microseconds.[3]
The PHEBUS experiment was designed by CESR (Toulouse) to record high energy transient events in the range 100 keV to 100 MeV. It consisted of two independent detectors and their associated electronics. Each detector consisted of a bismuth germanate (BGO) crystal 78 mm in diameter by 120 mm thick, surrounded by a plastic anti-coincidence jacket. The two detectors were arranged on the spacecraft so as to observe 4π steradians. The burst mode was triggered when the count rate in the 0.1 to 1.5 MeV energy range exceeded the background level by 8 sigma in either 0.25 or 1.0 seconds. There were 116 energy channels.[3]
Starting in January 1990, four WATCH instruments, designed by the Danish Space Research Institute, were in operation on the Granat observatory. The instruments could localize bright sources in the 6 to 180 keV range to within 0.5° using a Rotation Modulation Collimator. Taken together, the instruments' three fields of view covered approximately 75% of the sky. The energy resolution was 30% FWHM at 60 keV. During quiet periods, count rates in two energy bands (6 to 15 and 15 to 180 keV) were accumulated for 4, 8, or 16 seconds, depending on onboard computer memory availability. During a burst or transient event, count rates were accumulated with a time resolution of 1 second per 36 energy channels.[3]
The KONUS-B instrument, designed by the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in St. Petersburg, consisted of seven detectors distributed around the spacecraft that responded to photons of 10 keV to 8 MeV energy. They consisted of NaI(Tl) scintillator crystals 200 mm in diameter by 50 mm thick behind a Be entrance window. The side surfaces were protected by a 5 mm thick lead layer. The burst detection threshold was 500 to 50 microjoules per square meter (5 × 10-7 to 5 × 10-8 erg/cm²), depending on the burst spectrum and rise time. Spectra were taken in two 31-channel pulse height analyzers (PHAs), of which the first eight were measured with 1/16 s time resolution and the remaining with variable time resolutions depending on the count rate. The range of resolutions covered 0.25 to 8 s.
The KONUS-B instrument operated from 11 December 1989 until 20 February 1990. Over that period, the "on" time for the experiment was 27 days. Some 60 solar flares and 19 cosmic gamma-ray bursts were detected.[3]
The French TOURNESOL instrument consisted of four proportional counters and two optical detectors. The proportional counters detected photons between 2 keV and 20 MeV in a 6° by 6° field of view. The visible detectors had a field of view of 5° by 5°. The instrument was designed to look for optical counterparts of high-energy burst sources, as well as performing spectral analysis of the high-energy events.[3]
Science results[edit]
Over the initial four years of directed observations, Granat observed many galactic and extra-galactic X-ray sources with emphasis on the deep imaging and spectroscopy of the galactic center, broad-band observations of black hole candidates, and X-ray novae. After 1994, the observatory was switched to survey mode and carried out a sensitive all-sky survey in the 40 to 200 keV energy band.
Some of the highlights included:
- A very deep imaging (more than 5 million seconds duration) of the galactic center region.[10]
- Discovery of electron-positron annihilation lines from the galactic microquasar 1E1740-294 and the X-ray Nova Muscae.[7]
- Study of spectra and time variability of black hole candidates.[7]
- Across eight years of observations, Granat discovered some twenty new X-ray sources, i.e. candidate black holes and neutron stars. Consequently, their designations begin with "GRS" meaning "GRANAT source".[8] Examples are GRS 1915+105 (the first microquasar discovered in our galaxy) and GRS 1124-683.[8][9]
Impact of the dissolution of the Soviet Union[edit]
After the end of the Soviet Union, two problems arose for the project. The first was geopolitical in nature: the main spacecraft control center was located at the Yevpatoria facility in the Crimea region. This control center was significant in the Soviet space program, being one of only two in the country equipped with a 70 m dish antenna. With the breakup of the Union, the Crimea region, although mostly populated by ethnic Russians, found itself part of the newly independent Ukraine and the center was put under Ukrainian national control, prompting new political hurdles.[1]
The main and most urgent problem, however, was in finding funds to support the continued operation of the spacecraft amid the spending crunch in post-Soviet Russia. The French space agency, having already contributed significantly to the project (both scientifically and financially), took upon itself to fund the continuing operations directly.[1]

took Monday off and we headed out of town with Mikala, looking for
adventure. The Eisenhower Museum in Abilene had a Girl Scout exhibit -- Mikala is a Scout -- so we thought she might enjoy that.
exhibit was not much to see, though Bill always enjoys the World War II
exhibits. I love this old house that Eisenhower grew up in, still at
it's original location. (Instead of moving the house, they moved the rest of the neighborhood to build the Presidential Library here.)
Later, leaving the museum, we planned on eating lunch somewhere . . .
and couldn't find any restaurants. We drove a different way on the way
home, through country roads, and nearly got lost. Still couldn't find a
restaurant. Who knew there were actual towns in Kansas with no eating establishments?!? We had a fun
day anyway . . . . lots of giggles.

Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Smitty has shoved our opposite words project into second gear, and is now at the forefront of the effort to catalog all the creative ways our left-wingers have found to say the exact opposite of what they really mean.
Or not…he may not be aware we'd thrown the project into overdrive elsewhere. Personally, I have selected numbers 9 and 10 as the scariest ones:
9. When a hyperliberal starts to talk about the freedoms we take for granted you'd better be careful, because he's about to start pushing a bunch of laws that will deprive you of freedom.
10. When a hyperliberal starts to talk about putting together a society "that works for the benefit of everybody," the society he starts describing always has rules that are designed to bring harm to certain groups of people.
And now we see the word "patriotism" has something to do with hating your countrymen.
Liberals sure do like opposites. Maybe they carry an enthused fondness for things that have two sides…having done most of their thinking on a virtual Mobius strip.
Whenever they start talking about a "fair" society that works for everybody, I cannot help but wonder where they're going to put me after they get rid of me.
Why do folks that call themselves "Liberals" in England differ so greatly from folks
in the US that USED to call themselves that, before folks that NOW call themselves Libertarians reclaimed the original meme, and forced the paracitic collective to
assimilate NEW names for "duplicitous parasite"?
Now that "racist", "homophobic", and "feminist" no longer mean anything of value, what's the NEW jurno-list style book lexicon gonna' be? Can we go back to Chauvinist?
Somebody let me know so I can have my business cards reprinted, yet again, BEFORE those union print shops get overwhelmed with rush copies of "new" proposed legislation, and the 2012 election posters. THAT should begin in …8…7…6…5…4…
[…] event on 02Oct. Why no linky-love? Look at the top of their What We Stand For page: Yeah, Progressive Inversion Tongue: yeah!PUTTING AMERICA BACK TO WORK Provide immediate relief for those who are currently […]
- What Is The Take On The 02Oct ONWT Event? October Surprise Overture? : The Other McCain | 09/03/2010 @ 07:50Hayek called these terms weasel words–as a weasel sucks the egg out of the shell while leaving the shell intact. His number one complaint was the very word "social", and he listed 161 social eggs with the yolk sucked out, the first being socialism.
Joseph Schumpeter, describing those who began to call themselves liberals earlier in the 20 century–As a supreme if unintended compliment, the enemies of the system of private enterprise thought it wise to appropriate its label.
They did pretty well in calling themselves progressives even before that.
In current vogue is the use of "reform" in place of destruction.
An old standby is Affirmative Action for affirmative discrimination.
This could be quite a list if we put our minds to it.

Britney Spears got into the Christmas spirit with her red boots, green Primp hoodie and white clutch stopping off for gas (of course) last night. Considering the past few months, it's been a surprisingly long time (almost a week [1]) since we've had to address legal/custody issues, but don't get too comfortable. The judge in her custody case released 300 pages of documents about the case, including paperwork that says that the DCFS (Department of Children and Family Services) has concerns about the boys' safety and well being [2] in their mother's care. There are also documents stating that the LA DCFS has its own investigation into abuse/negligence claims (though according to TMZ they may just be frivolous). Of course, she wants to keep it all private, but that seems unlikely considering the case.

The Only Christmas Special You Need To Watch
Christmas, blah blah, blah. Look, we all pretend that those creepy stop motion Christmas specials are not creepy…or just plain weird. And you've made your way through all the other usual specials with their trees and forced cheer and roast beasts and whatever. I know you need something new, a new tradition! Well, my friend you are in luck because I have just what you need to make the holidays merry again! This is the only Christmas special you need to watch: Mystery Science Theater: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.
For those that may not be a member of the not-so-secret society of Misties, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is an old TV show about a guy that is forced to watch bad movies with his robot pals and as they do they make jokes. It's that simple and it is sublime.
Christmastime is the perfect time to break out the episode of the show when Joel (the guy) and the bots (the robot pals) watch and riff on a 1964 movie about Santa conquering the Martians. Hence the clever title.
Real quick: The movie is about how the kids on Mars are sad, the parents of Mars want to make them happy so they kidnap Santa from Earth so he can be Santa on Mars…as you do. Here are some highlights.
Subscribe to KMXC-FM / Mix 97-3 on
The episode also included the classic Christmas carol Let's Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas!
Subscribe to KMXC-FM / Mix 97-3 on
And Tom Servo's (he's one of the aforementioned bots) Christmas essay: A Child's Christmas in Space
Subscribe to KMXC-FM / Mix 97-3 on
Ahh Joy!
So go ahead and watch the same old same old yuletide specials, I will be rooting for St. Nick to again defeats the evil forces of Mars and bring cheer to all the planets in our solar system. Movie Sign!

Plans will move forward to leave only one public park in Wildomar open after the City Council on Wednesday reacted to a grim report on the parksâ future.
The council voted unanimously to shutter Windsong and Heritage Regency parks, leaving Marna OâBrien as the only park for a city of 32,000.
Council members left the door open for a nonprofit group to raise the money needed to keep Marna OâBrien open. The council asked Friends of Wildomar Parks to provide quarterly reports on its fundraising efforts.
The cityâs parks have been on life support after a June ballot measure that would have imposed a $28 annual fee on properties for park maintenance failed with voters. The fee was needed after the California Court of Appeal struck down another parks fee in 2010.
The council moved to close the parks after the measure was defeated. But an outpouring of community support in the form of donations and promises of volunteer labor kept Windsong and Marna OâBrien open. Heritage has been fenced off for months.
However, City Manager Frank Oviedo told the council Wednesday that while he appreciates the communityâs efforts, the lack of a stable, predictable source of revenue and park labor makes it makes it difficult to keep the parks open.
He added that city staff continue to spend time dealing with parks issues, and the level of maintenance and care at the parks isnât what it was when the city funded them.
Council members gave Friends of Wildomar Parks more time to save Marna OâBrien. Group representative John Lloyd put the bare minimum cost of keeping the park running at $44,000.
The park could stay open if 2,000 people donated $28 each, Councilwoman Bridgette Moore said.
âThere is no way Iâm closing Marna tonight,â she said. âIâm not giving up until weâve tried everything.â

St-Julien may not have any first growths like its neighbour Pauillac but has a raft of high-performing Châteaux in its ranks, second through to fourth growths, Including Ducru-Beaucaillou, Léoville Las Cases, Léoville-Poyferré, Léoville-Barton.Gruaud-Larose and Talbot. For many St-Julien is quintessential claret, robust, powerful but refined subtle and poised. Gravelly soils dominate, hence wide plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon with some Merlot.

IB stands for In Bond. Wines that are stored In Bond have not had UK Duty and VAT paid on them.
Most of our wines are available for purchase under bond, as fine wines often need to be laid down in order to allow them to mature. Many clients choose therefore to store them in our bonded warehouse and pay the tax as and when they wish to get the wines delivered. Please note that Wines purchased In Bond can be exported to non-EU countries without the need for Duty and VAT to be paid.
DP stands for duty paid. If you wish to get wines delivered for drinking, the duty and VAT will need to be paid as it leaves its bonded state in the warehouse. The wine is then said to be duty paid.
All taxes must be paid in order for us to be authorised to ship or deliver wine (unless the wine is bonded and being moved to another bonded warehouse or being shipped directly outside of the EU.)
EP stands for En Primeur. These wines are currently held with the Estate and Domaine's we work with and will be shipped in due course.
