Home Secretary in ID card gaffe
Unhackable? Up to a point, minister
Security experts have rubbished claims by the Home Secretary that databases for the controversial National ID Cards will be "unhackable" because they are being kept off the public internet.
In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Thursday, Jacqui Smith said "none of the [ID card] databases will be online, so it won't be possible to hack into them". Experts, such as GCHQ accredited penetration testing firm SecureTest, said the Home Secretary's claims demonstrate complete lack of understanding of the security issues affecting databases.
"There are numerous routes to compromise a database that is not available on the public internet," SecureTest managing director Ken Munro told El Reg.
Internal attacks, where a database could be compromised by an employee or visitor from the inside, and attacks via email are both possible vectors. If an external hacker was able to deliver an exploit to an unsuspecting internal user via email he might be able to get access to a machine that in turn allowed him access to the database.
"The Government Secure Intranet (GSI) mail filtering systems are not sufficient to prevent an unknown [zero day] vulnerability being delivered by email. Using this, the exploited machine would connect outbound to a third party, giving a degree of remote address, and potentially access to the database," Munro explained.
The UK's National Infrastructure Security Co-ordination Centre (NISCC), and other government agencies, have periodically warned of the active use of this kind of targeted attack since at least June 2005. The GSI's mail filtering system is well designed and blocks many of these attacks, but it would be foolish to think it provides complete protection against such assaults.
Munro describes Smith's faith in the inherent security of databases kept off the internet as "misguided" and symptomatic of wider government IT security shortcomings. "The minister's lack of appreciation gives us great concern that government ministers have no significant understanding of security, as evidenced by the recent data losses on CD," he said. "What hope have we got that the National ID card database will be any more secure?"
The Home Secretary's interview with Today can be found here. Smith's interview starts about the 12:00 minute mark and her comment on database security for the National ID Cards project can be found after the 18:20 mark.
In the course of her interview, Smith goes on to explain a revised rollout of ID cards, initially targeting non-EU foreign nationals and young adults. El Reg's take on this "boil a frog" plan can be found here. ®

A 17-day-old rabbit famous across Germany for having no ears reportedly met its untimely demise Wednesday when a cameraman took one fateful step backward.
"Til," a rising star on Germany's celebrity animal scene, was to be shown off at a news conference when the disaster struck, The Associated Press reported.
Uwe Dempewolf, zoo director for the Limbach-Oberfrohna in Saxony told Spiegel magazine that while filming a cameraman "took a step back and trod on the bunny."
"No one could have forseen this," he said. "Everyone here is upset. The cameraman was distraught."
According to Dempewolf, the cameraman didn't realize he stepped on Til, because the bunny had buried himself in hay.
"He was immediately dead," Dempewolf said. "It was a direct hit."
Zoo officials plan to freeze Til's body while they decide whether to have him stuffed.

Meet the RB9, the car Red Bull hopes will net them yet another championship in 2013.
The car was unveiled in Milton Keynes earlier this morning. ESPN has the lowdown on the Adrian Newey design, which is described as "very much an evolutionary car" from last year's RB8 rather than a radical new redesign.
It also has purple sidepods and coloring to promote Infiniti, whose logos are now bigger than ever. They stopped just short of giving it a Q-name, though.
Once again, world champion Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber will be behind the wheel.
Do we think it looks better than the Ferrari F138? Who would you put money on this season?

This year we had big expectations for our garden that did not come to fruition. We tripled the size of our garden, planted several rows of different veggies. The cool summer and huge hail storm did not help!
For over a month, I have been gathering the necessary supplies to can beets, one of Ed's favorites. I borrowed a pressure cooker, had to buy the pressure gauge, found the recipe and read up one what to do. Today was the day! I went out this morning pick the beets and found that the voles really like them. So, needless to say, 6 beets is not worthing canning! I will cook them up for dinner and Ed can eat on them this week. He's a bit disappointed.
The items that grew well are the squash and pumpkins. For some reason I thought we would need 2 rows of yellow squash. What was I thinking? We have more squash than we know what to do with. The voles like it too, so I am sure they will get their fair share.
We do have 2 good size pumpkins. Someone told me that you should carve the kids names in them and when the grow, the names will be scarred into them. You can see Halee's name on the bottom of the pumpkin (along with vole teeth marks!).
Another item that actually grew were the carrots. Last year was my first year to grow carrots. Someone shared a tip that in the fall when you pull the carrots, tear the tops off and put them in a ziplock bag. Do not clean them! They will keep in the fridge until next year. Last year we had carrots until January.

South African Rugby
SA Rugby back down over De Villiers' comments
June 30, 2009
Springboks coach Peter de Villiers has courted controversy with his comments regarding Schalk Burger's eye-gouging of Lions winger Luke Fizgerald © Getty Images
South African Rugby officials have been forced into an embarrassing climbdown over comments made by Springboks coach Peter de Villiers in the aftermath of the eye-gouging incident that marred their second Test victory over the British & Irish Lions.
Springboks flanker Schalk Burger was yellow-carded in the opening minute of his side's decisive victory in Pretoria after he was seen to place his hands on the face of Lions winger Luke Fitzgerald. He was later cited for alleged eye-gouging and subsequently found guilty and banned for eight weeks.
De Villiers questioned the decision to sin-bin his player in the post-match press conference insisting that the incident was "all part of sport" and that he did not believe it was a yellow card offence.
However, in a statement released last night South African Rugby Union President Oregan Hoskins and De Villiers apologised for the comments that appeared to give the impression that the organisation condoned eye gouging. Hoskins and De Villiers jointly condemned all acts of foul play and sent out a clear message that such acts would not be tolerated in South African rugby and that they fell outside the spirit as well as the letter of the Laws of the Game of Rugby.
"We would like to apologise to the rugby community for the erroneous impression that acts of foul play are in any way condoned by South African rugby," said Hoskins. "That has never been the case and is not now, and we support strong action by rugby authorities when such acts occur.
"Rugby is a physical game and a hard game but it is a game that rightly prides itself on good sportsmanship and we as SARU categorically condemn any such action. SARU fully supports any action that the IRB feels appropriate to stamp out eye gouging in the game."
De Villiers added that as Springbok coach he stood against play that was not in the spirit of the game. "Eye-gouging is something that we as a team will never be part of," he said. "The same applies to biting, head-butting, spear tackling or any other foul play that doesn't belong in the game. My comments on Saturday were based on what I know of Schalk Burger as a player and not on what occurred. It was never my intention to suggest that I condone foul play - that is the last thing I would ever do and I apologise for creating any other impression."
The statement followed a bizarre Springboks press conference earlier in the day where De Villiers once again defended the actions of Burger.
"Rugby is a contact sport, so is dancing," he said. "So if some guys can't take it, make the decision. There are so many incidents that we can say we want to cite this guy for maliciously jumping into this guy's face with his shoulder but we didn't do it because we know that it's just a game.
"If you know Schalk's nature and character - if you know the man as I know him - he would never do this. He is more physical than any other rugby player in the world. To go to those kinds of measures, he would never ever do it. And I don't think he did it."

dantheriver necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 42 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
We currently run the triathlon event website, http://www.TriFind.com. Our current site does a great job helping triathletes find race events close to them. TriFind.com lists all types of events for professionals, beginners, men, women, and children. We are creating a new companion site to TriFind.com that is just focused on events for kids.
We want to portray a fun, active personality that encourages outdoor event participation.
As owners of the site, we make our money from banner ads. We have specific areas of the page that will need to be reserved for ads. The ad space is important, but I don't want it to distract too much from the core information that the users are on the site to read. Users will come to our site looking for easy access to information about kids triathlon events in their area. The main content they are looking for needs to be top priority and stand out above the other elements on the page
We don't have a logo yet. I am not asking you to design a logo for this project, all I need is the name of the site in a font/color that look good with your design.
Although our site is focused on kids triathlons, our typical users will not be children, but will be parents looking for events for their kids to do. Most likely the parents are also active triathletes. We want the site to have a youthful feel to it, but it is important to remember that it is adults who will actually be using it.
I have created a rough mockup of the site for you to preview here http://bit.ly/3GKWqE
•All of the page elements shown in the mock should remain in their relative positions. I don't want square table design; this is just to illustrate important areas of the page.
•Be creative, a non-boxy layout like http://www.clifbarstore.com would be cool.
•The page should be designed to be 1,000px wide, center aligned, and a background can be used to fill 100% width.
Navigation: Include the following links: Home, Race Calendars, Blog, Forum, Kids Triathlon Gear, My Races, Login/Register/Logout
Images: I have a few images of kids doing triathlons that you can use (not required). They can be found here: http://bit.ly/3u3eBR
The main content area will show info about a race event. Here is an example of one of the races that will be on this site: http://bit.ly/t6BI1
I am just providing this for a sample of the data that needs to be displayed.
We want to draw attention to additional actions the user can take. These should be made into image buttons that will be used as links.
o "I'm Doing It!" Save to "My Races"
o Are your friends doing this race? Connect with Facebook to find out.
o Print Race Details
o Print a Race Day Checklist
o Find other races in <State> (ie Florida)
o Get a Customized Training Plan from a Coach
o Rent a Wetsuit

In order to survive, most businesses need to ensure that they provide good customer support and service.
One of the things that make budget airlines unique is that they often operates on many routes without competition. In other words, on some sectors, no other airline can even come close to the price the budget carrier charges.
What that can mean is that without competition, so long as the airline meets basic standards and conditions, great or even good customer service may be one of the things that isn't essential for an airline to survive.
Many blogs and websites indicate some frustration with the level of customer service provided by budget or low cost carriers. That doesn't mean they are all bad, but some people do have some concerns with the ability of some airlines to provide good service and effective problem resolution.
What do you think about the level of customer service or support at Jetstar?

You can time the moment you fall for your next puppy as much as you can time the moment you fall for anyone. Thus, Bisquick joined my family last November.
He is our first winter baby. The six previous dogs who blessed my life were chosen—or, in the case of the first of three consecutive childhood Luckys, won at a raffle—in warmer weather. Their training took place during the first warm breaths of spring, or alongside riotously blooming gardens, or on paths made golden by autumn leaves. In those milder seasons, even the requisite nighttime forays into the backyard held payoffs for the wee hour during which nature called. I stood present in pajamas witnessing not only progress in bladder control, but overhead miracles including a questioning owl, the Milky Way, the aurora borealis.
The realities of the New England calendar meant Bisquick was shivering even on the sunny afternoon he was placed into my arms. I didn't know how to break it to him that temperatures would not climb significantly for a good six months. Nor did I know how to remind my husband—or myself—of that same fact.
We hadn't had a puppy for nine years. The last one arrived in late summer, around the time Princess Diana departed this world. Pup Leo's 3 AM walkabouts ended with a check of the latest, saddest update from CNN. Upon Bisquick's arrival, our region was gearing for its cruelest months, during which I nightly pre-heat the bed with a fleet of five hot water bottles nestled beneath thick flannel sheets, a woolen blanket, two cloudlike comforters and, finally, a fat retired sleeping bag zipped open for maximum coverage.
Suddenly, in the deepest parts of the night, from a crate situated three feet from my side of the mattress, an English Setter the size of a rolled-up pair of tube socks was making a freight-train-sized racket, commanding Tommy or me to emerge.
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
And so began what we soon had down to a science. At the first scratching on the crate's wire mesh door, one of us would spring up and dress from layers laid atop the box: neckwarmer, watch cap, gloves, insulated Wellingtons, my late father's giant hooded parka.
With pup released and charging ahead, it was then down the stairs and into any combination of weather: sleet, snow, hail, a frozen crust coating it all and a nasty wind pushing.
When it was my turn, I'd lead Bisquick to a patch of yard on the far side of the driveway and walk a small sleepy circle while he spiraled in his own. I'd hug myself, pull the neckwarmer up to my eyes, yearn for the warmth inside the house and its solitary glowing window. I'd praise the pup for delivering the goods, then coax him back inside for a few more hours of sleep for all.
In keeping with the rules of puphood, some of these forays had to be unnecessary, no more than an opportunity to explore a snow bank previously unscaled, to stand and sniff the mystery-bearing wind. And during one of Bisquick's for-the-heck-of-it rambles into the dark, when he paused in his sniffing to stare into the woods, I did the same. I saw nothing, but that nothing was the start of something—of my finally looking around. Listening. Despite the late hour and the low mercury, consciously taking in the moment. So big was the sky. So electrical the constellations. So quiet the neighborhood. So symphonic the creaking trees. So small the puppy at my feet. So slow the realization that these outings were for me, as well. My reverie ended only because Bisquick had become the one raring to go inside.
These days—and nights—Bisquick has more or less mastered a grownup schedule, but it still can have its surprises. I can't say that my waking words aren't curses some mornings when he heads for the door at 2:50, but when Tommy later asks me what it was like outside in the middle of the night, I am honest when I answer "Absolutely beautiful."
You can stand in one place and wish to be somewhere else. Or you can, as the wise man said, be here now. Puphood is fleeting. Take it as a gift. Even when it's wrapped in snow.

text: Alright clay court lovers: you talk and talk about how great watching clay court tennis is and how it is the truest game. In one sense, this may be true. However, grass is, in a way, even more entertaining. Think about serve and volley tennis. If ever there were a tennis analogy, this is the classic duel. One man taking his best shot, casting his lot on the point, and the other fires back with the best he can muster. Two guys going for the best shots they can right off the bat. Granted, not of enough players today are playing s&v, which is maybe why watching grass can suck sometimes, but the serve and volley game is much more interesting to me than watching two sweaty men run around their backhands to hit inside out forehands fifteen times in a row.

How P2 can change the state of green manufacturing
P2 Impact
How P2 can change the state of green manufacturing
When it comes to reducing the environmental impacts of a business, the concept of pollution prevention is one of the most fundamentally important ideas in the sustainability guidebook.
The basic concept is simple: Pollution prevention (P2) aims to reduce or eliminate waste at the source by changing production processes, using non-toxic or less-toxic substances, implementing conservation techniques, and reusing materials instead of putting them in the waste stream.
P2 is a methodology that is critical to a company's operations, and should be embedded in their strategic plan to streamline their manufacturing waste outputs and save costs and regulatory hassles at the same time.
So why isn't P2 more widely adopted?
Although P2 is well known and has been used for years in some manufacturing sectors, there are still companies that describe their P2 efforts as implementing only recycling practices (cardboard, paper, etc.) or reducing energy usage.
Perhaps even more of a challenge is when P2 is associated with or used interchangeably with "pollution controls." These "end of pipe" technologies are not considered to be P2 practices, because the use of pollution control technologies are more often than not driven by external factors like environmental regulations and compliance.
For example, there are potential fines and negative press for a company that exceeds its air permitting limits. In order to avoid these outcomes, companies implement a variety of process controls after the waste is already in existence so that their releases are below legal limits. In contrast, P2 practices focus reduction efforts on the source of the waste stream.
Creating a P2 Cultural Shift
Pollution prevention projects generally are promoted internally and typically are not driven by regulations. They often have a strong business case when considering the amount of resources companies spend on treatment or disposal of their waste streams. Another major advantage of P2 practices is the possibility of reducing or eliminating regulatory permitting and burdens facing companies using toxic chemicals and creating hazardous waste streams.
But embracing the P2 methodology requires a cultural shift in the questions that companies ask about their waste streams. For example, if a company has a high disposal cost associated with a large solid waste stream, the first exercise that non-P2 companies often undertake is a review of all solid waste disposal options, vendors and costs to determine a cheaper method of handling the waste stream. This is handling the stream at the end of pipe, after waste has been generated and disposal is required.
When incorporating P2, the first exercise should be evaluating all of the sources of this solid waste stream. Have they been quantified? Is there a way to reduce them further upstream in the process so there is less overall waste at the end for disposal? Have opportunities to use this "waste" in other applications been explored?
This change in culture and approach to handling overall manufacturing process waste is often a challenge and at times requires a technical expert to collect appropriate data, help define alternate processes and develop the business case. The availability of P2 technical experts is one of the biggest challenges facing small- to medium-sized businesses looking to implement P2 practices and methodologies.
The organization that I direct, the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute (NYSP2I) at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), has been created to provide research, technology development, outreach, training and education to help New York businesses become more sustainable for workers, the public, the environment and the economy. We've developed a number of innovative, cost-effective green engineering solutions that make manufacturing processes more efficient, while reducing environmental impact and manufacturing costs, making use of tools like Lean, Energy & Environment (LE2) and Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) to assist manufacturing companies in their efforts to improve their environmental performance.
A key component of P2 as applied to manufacturing processes is to completely understand the inputs and outputs of the system. Many companies analyze their energy and water usage by viewing their electric and water bills for the facility. However, within a facility that entails multiple manufacturing processes, it's critical to understand the resources needed to run each process and the waste associated with each process. LE2 is a tool that creates a detailed material and energy balance on a manufacturing process or product. Thoroughly understanding the baseline metrics of each process allows the company to focus on specific media (air, water, hazardous waste, energy, etc.) where improvements can result in major impacts.
Part of the LE2 process is performing a feasibility study, as applicable, for the potential improvement proposed. Many small and medium-sized companies are risk-averse and the idea of running a feasibility study to quantify all benefits & solidify the technology prior to implementation or scale-up is a daunting task. But taking advantage of the expertise and testing facilities at the four universities partnering with NYSP2I (Clarkson University, University at Buffalo, Rochester Institute of Technology (where NYSP2I is housed) & Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) gives companies access to a wealth of knowledge and state-of-the-art laboratories for testing and feasibility analysis.
P2 -- Done Right -- Saves Money
One of the arguments that are often brought up against P2 is that going green will cost companies more green. Through first-hand experience, NYSP2I has worked with many New York State companies to incorporate best practices into their manufacturing processes that significantly reduced their costs and environmental footprint. In most cases, NYSP2I participated as an external resource to assist them in this task, acting primarily as a catalyst for the company by showing them areas of opportunity that they can continue to leverage and improve.
For example, a turbine blade manufacturer requested that NYSP2I assist the company in reducing the amount of hazardous acid waste generated by their manufacturing process. In 2007, the company generated 502 tons of acid waste from its titanium etching operations and spent over $400,000 on acid disposal, purchase of new acid, and generator fees. These expenses were expected to rise as acid prices and hazardous waste disposal costs increased.
Through the LE2 tool, NYSP2I performed a detailed literature review on the etch bath chemistry, followed by a feasibility study to change the acid boost method in the etch baths to extend the acid bath life.
The test protocol we developed and implemented in a selected etch tank on site led to an immediate reduction of hazardous waste by 47 percent. At full implementation of process improvements, an 86 percent reduction in hazardous waste is expected and 70 percent reduction in operating costs.
Approximately one-third of the overall savings resulted from a reduction in the generator fees. Process changes cost $15,000 (for new measurement equipment) and the ROI was one month; so in a short time, the process improvements were paid for and the economic benefit turned into profit for the company, all while significantly reducing their environmental footprint.
Another example of savings through pollution prevention is a company that fabricates and remanufactures spare parts for virtually all classes of military vehicles. The vehicle parts the company remanufacturers are very dirty, so it is critically important that efficient surface cleaning operations are used to clean the parts.
The company was experiencing difficulty cleaning parts both consistently and cost-effectively. In addition, the surface cleaning operations presented a significant bottleneck, dramatically slowing the company's expansion plans. NYSP2I was brought in to identify the specific sources of production bottlenecks and improve effectiveness and consistency of surface cleaning operations.
Again using the LE2 tool, we performed a detailed analysis on the remanufacturing process, collecting data on parts, cleaning processes and production capacity to identify cleaning requirements. We identified alternative surface cleaning technologies and performed a feasibility analysis by testing actual parts from the company through various surface-cleaning technologies in NYSP2I's Surface Cleaning Technology testbed at RIT.
The feasibility test showed us which technologies were both technically and economically feasible, while at the same time making manufacturing processes more efficient.
By implementing the improvements proposed by NYSP2I, the company was able to make rapid and significant annual savings, including more than:
- $64,000 in operating costs
- 32,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity
- 1,400 gallons of water
- 250 gallons of wastewater
- 40 gallons of detergent
- 5,700 pounds of non-hazardous waste and
- 3,500 pounds of abrasive media
At times the biggest hindrance to implementation of P2 solutions is the requirement of major capital expenses in order to complete an improvement, such as when replacing large pieces of equipment. New York State has created many incentives that can offset the cost of capital and assist in meeting the appropriate company payback period, and other states and regions have done the same.
The bottom line is, P2 should be considered a critical component for companies looking to reduce waste costs while improving environment performance. Reducing waste at the source will lead to reductions in environmental footprint, which then has the potential of reducing negative impact on workers, communities and society. Technical resources such as NYSP2I can provide major support to the industrial community at any point during their path towards a more sustainable future, and we encourage you to get in touch so we can help you reach that future.

Kevin Harvick has never won a Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway, and two hours before Sunday's race he received a sign from above: This wasn't going to be the day.
A skydiver, part of the pre-race festivities, came in low and fast over Harvick's 29 car, smashing his driver's side door with a sandbag used to weight down the Texas flag. The car had to be wheeled back to the garage to work the dent out, but it was ready to go for the green flag. Harvick finished ninth; don't mess with Texas.

Over the last couple of weekends, local friends and occasional blog-readers Pungent Onion and Twiggamortis made the trek down to the game room proper to check out the new Spider-Man pinball, and although pinball was the main attraction, the ol' MAME cab got some play as well. One of the oldies-but-goodies that got the most play this time was Atari's Canyon Bomber - and since I haven't thrown around any blather about that one on here, well I figured it was time.
Canyon Bomber is another of those games that I played on a home console as a kid (Atari 2600) but was never even aware that it was an arcade port until I discovered it on MAME, and then finally got the opportunity to play the real machine in person when I made the pilgrimage to the American Classic Arcade Museum back in 2010.
Back in 1977 Atari was a serious player in the arcade scene. They had released Breakout the year before which was a huge hit and spawned numerous clones so they were on the lookout for their next big game. Their research staff combed the streets compiling opinion surveys which all pointed to one simple conclusion - the public demanded blimp and biplane bombing action. In response to this public outcry, Atari elected Howard Delman, who had just completed his first arcade game for them called Super Bug, to design both the hardware and the software for this new bombing game.
Rather than creating new hardware entirely from scratch, Delman took the existing board for Atari's Sprint 2 and made some clever modifications to enable it to produce an entirely different game. With the hardware in place he proceeded to write the software, and after many grueling hours (OK I don't really know - he may have banged it out in a day) he finished up the code for the game and turned it in to his supervisor at a mere 3KB in size - roughly the same as an early Atari 2600 game. His boss's response - "3K?! What do you think, ROMs grow on trees?! Jesus Christ Tolstoy, think you could shave a few chapters off that tome?!" (I paraphrase). Delman recounted the scene in the June 2008 issue of GameRoom Magazine:
"In those days, memory chips held 2K bytes of code, and compared to other electronic components, were considered 'expensive.' Thus, a program that was just one byte over 2K required a second pricey component. There certainly were games at the time that used more than 2K of ROM. Super Bug was 6K. But my supervisor, Steve Calfee, always liked to challenge people. So when my code came in at around 3K, he said, 'I bet you could get it down to 2K, and save the cost of the second memory chip.' Never one to back off from a challenge, I went back to work. With judicious scrutiny of every routine, I was able to finally shrink it to 2K. In fact, it was exactly 2K. There is not a single extra byte in the ROM."
And so, weighing in at a sleek and sexy 2KB, Canyon Bomber was released by Atari in November 1977 with the bold promise of "exciting new blimp and bi-plane bombing action".
At its core, Canyon Bomber didn't stray too far away from the ball-breaking-through-the-wall formula of Breakout, but it flipped it upside down, added gravity and took away the bounce. It also added a few other twists that turned it into a game all its own. In Canyon Bomber you pilot a blimp and a biplane high above a canyon that is filled with boulders - the manual calls them "bubbles", but that doesn't make any sense so I'm going with boulders. Your job is to clear out those boulders, all of which are marked with a point value from 1-4, by dropping bombs on them. Every time you destroy a boulder, its corresponding number is added to your score, so obviously it's preferable to hit the boulders with the higher number. I must say that after playing pinball where millions of points are thrown around like beads on Mardi Gras it was kind of refreshing to play an old-school game where a hard-fought victory is won by a score of 409-401.
When the game starts both players are piloting blimps which fly slowly and higher in the sky. After half the boulders have been destroyed the players switch to biplanes which fly faster and lower. This helps speed the game up when there are fewer bombing opportunities and also offers a slightly different aiming challenge. At the beginning of each bombing run your aircraft appears at either the left or right side of the screen and steadily flies in a straight line over the canyon until it disappears off the opposite side of the screen. Your task during each of these trans-raster flights is to drop at least 1 bomb on a boulder. If your bomb doesn't hit a boulder or if you fail to release a bomb, that is counted as a miss - and after 3 misses your game is over.
You can only drop one bomb at a time but after that bomb has detonated you can drop another one and you can drop as many as you want to during each bombing run - just don't get overeager with the rapid-fire and miss. As you bomb the boulders they disintegrate and any boulders that are located directly above them tumble down to fill the crevice you just created so it gets harder and harder to hit a boulder with each progressive bombing run.
And to make things a little more difficult - the opposing player (human or computer) is flying their aircraft at exactly the same time with the exact same mission so not only do the boulders get more scarce the longer you play, but when there are only a few left you are both gunning - er, bombing - for the same boulders. So you have to balance your timing and aim with strategic thinking to avoid your opponent stealing your boulder out from under you. Whoever has the most points when both players have used up their 3 misses is the winner.
It sounds pretty simple, but it gets difficult fairly quickly as the number of easy target boulders rapidly diminishes. If you are able to destroy all the boulders on the screen the screen refills with a fresh new supply of boulders flown in from a nearby canyon for your continued gaming pleasure. I'm told that this refilling occurs twice, but I don't think I've ever cleared an entire canyon more than once so I don't know.
The graphics, as one would expect from a 1977 game, are fairly simplistic, but they are colored with all three monochromatic shades of the rainbow - black, white and gray. Electronically the canyon is expressed as a featureless black silhouette.
But this display is nicely spruced up by the overlying artwork on the monitor bezel which combines with the canyon silhouette on the screen to actually provide a bit of a 3D effect to the scene. And in addition to making the canyon look much nicer, the bezel artwork also adds another dimension to the difficulty as it partially masks some of the boulders along the edges of the canyon.
Note that the ONLY thing you can control is the timing of your bomb release. Selection of the aircraft, altitude, speed, direction - all those details are controlled by the computer. The player's only control is a single button. 1 BUTTON! Not too many games can make that claim, so I think I can safely say this is my favorite 1-button arcade game. In fact the one-button action played an important role in the selection of Canyon Bomber during Twiggamortis' trip down as he introduced me to a little game he calls Edward 40-Hands which entails duct-taping a 40oz beer (Old English in this case) to your hand. Apparently the proper rules require you to tape one to each hand but that sounded like a sure way to get beer spilled all over the machine so we went with 1. By the way - Golden Tee was the other 40-Hands game for the evening. But I digress.
In addition to the 1-button controller, Atari also added a High Score Reset Button to the control panel. Back in those days saving a high score was still a pretty novel concept for video games and they were erased every time the machine was turned off anyway so I guess the inclusion of the reset button isn't all that peculiar, but still it seems to defeat the purpose of saving high scores a little if any knucklehead can just hit the button and wipe it clean. I guess maybe gamers in those days were more concerned with tracking their high score achieved in each individual sitting as opposed to all-time.
I will say that the 1-player game gets dull fairly quickly, so I don't play it much by myself. The computer player just basically holds the fire button down and fires indiscriminately so once the boulders start getting thin he (she? it?) is no competition whatsoever. But if you have a friend to take the stick of the opposing plane then this simple little game can be a lot of fun.
I read that David Nelson of Manchester, New Hampshire holds the official record for Canyon Bomber of 1,399 points set on November 17, 2007. Finally, a high-score record that doesn't seem THAT much higher than my high score! (1,021).
To experience the arcade game properly you'll have to either track down a real cabinet (ACAM in New Hampshire is the only location I've seen) or boot up the ROM in MAME because like most of the simplistic arcade games of the 70's it never received an arcade-perfect port since by the time consoles were truly up to the task everyone had lost interest in the game. That being said, in 1978 Atari did a halfway decent job of porting Canyon Bomber to their new console the Atari VCS - known later of course as the Atari 2600 - which is where I was introduced to the game.
I suppose they captured the gameplay well enough on the 2600 port, but I only vaguely recall playing it when I was a kid and never considered it to be on my list of favorite Atari 2600 games so it didn't make much of an impression on me. And although I consider the arcade game to be marginally playable as a 1-player game, I can't say the same for the Atari 2600 port at least in this day and age. You pretty much HAVE to have a second human present for that one to keep your interest for very long at all. The cartridge contained 8-variations of the game, including for some reason the completely unrelated "Sea Bomber" which smacks more of a recycled but less fun version of Air-Sea Battle (which IS one of my favorite Atari 2600 games). And for some reason Atari elected to forego the blimps and biplanes altogether and went instead with horribly drawn helicopters and jets. Atari, did anyone ever ask you for helicopter and jet bombing action? No. I believe the original request was for blimp and biplane bombing action. Stick with what got ya here will ya?
If you'd like to try the Atari 2600 port of Canyon Bomber and you don't have Stella up and running you can play it on Vizzed HERE.
Although the arcade version of Canyon Bomber never got its due respect, the Atari 2600 port has been included in a few different retro Atari collections including Atari Anthology on PS2 and XBOX, Atari - 80 Classic Games in One on PC, and the Atari Flashback Classic Game Console which plugs directly into your TV.
So in a nutshell, Canyon Bomber is at least worth a look if you're playing solo, but like I usually find myself saying on these really old video games, it really shines as a 2-player game. So grab your 40, boot it up in MAME and check it out - just be sure to download the artwork file too so you have the canyon overlay. Bombs away!

Arcade Games of the 70's: Canyon Bomber
Over the last couple of weekends, local friends and occasional blog-readers Pungent Onion and Twiggamortis made the trek down to the game room proper to check out the new Spider-Man pinball, and although pinball was the main attraction, the ol' MAME cab got some play as well. One of the oldies-but-goodies that got the most play this time was Atari's Canyon Bomber - and since I haven't thrown around any blather about that one on here, well I figured it was time.

New Fort Co-Op Adventure DLC for Uncharted 3
My fellow PS3-owners may have already seen this, but Eric Monacelli, Community Strategist for Naughty Dog, posted on the PlayStation blog Tuesday about new co-op adventure DLC for Uncharted 3 wherein you actually play as the bad guys!
By now you're hopefully well versed in the long gun nuances, co-op narrative and all the hanging-by-your-fingers-on-edge-of-a-cliff action found in Uncharted 3 multiplayer. Today we're firing a heavy salvo of Uncharted 3 DLC information your way featuring new content to download individually, or as part of the Fortune Hunter's Club program. Downloading this fresh content will blow out the co-op storyline and expand the UNCHARTED series in ways that have never been done before.
Coming in today's PlayStation Store update to Uncharted 3 is the Fort Co-Op adventure DLC. Did some of you guess that from our screenshot hint? Fort Co-Op Adventure will mark the first time in the series you'll be able to play co-op as the UNCHARTED villains with Zoran Lazarević, Eddy Raja, Harry Flynn joining forces in a tale that further explores the mystery behind the Janus head statue from the on-disc co-op adventure. Check out a preview of that adventure here:
The new DLC costs $5.99. Not too bad for a new twist on things I suppose. What do you guys think? Worth a purchase?
They also released a whole bunch of new skins for purchase but I've never personally had much use for the various skins even if they are dirt cheap. So a big fat meh to that.
One other DLC item of note, on February 21 Naughty Dog is releasing the "Flashback Map Pack 2" for $9.99 in which they update 4 competitive maps from Uncharted 2 - Plaza, Temple, Train Wreck and Village - with "all-new dynamic lighting effects, cutting-edge particle effects and a bevy of other fresh technical polish". I fished in this pond the last time, but I think I'll skip it this time around. Recycled U2 maps for $10 seems a little steep to me, especially when I can still crack open my copy of U2 and play them on there - sans fresh technical polish of course. Also, I'm uncomfortable with their use of the word bevy. Thoughts?

Stern's New AC/DC Pinball
Yep - another pinball post.
Pinball News has posted the first part of a two-part in-depth review of the new Stern pinball machine AC/DC - a pin I am looking forward to playing at the Texas Pinball Festival next month. And when I say in-depth I really mean in-depth. I only recently discovered these guys and I really like their pinball reviews. In Part 1 of their reviews they typically focus on the artwork, hardware and playfield features and in Part 2 they focus on the rules, gameplay, and general thoughts/ratings. They also include lots of really nice closeup photographs and some cool details and insights. You do have to be at least a bit of a pinhead to appreciate it - but if you are so inclined check it out here:
And seeing as how I'm a guy who just loves game trailers. Well...

Pinball Hall of Fame on BBC
I wasn't going to do another pinball post (4th in a row!), but this is such a little one. This short video came out a few days ago on BBC New Technology where they spoke with Tim Arnold, owner of the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. That's the one place I regret not visiting when I was in Vegas about three years ago. Oh well, hopefully I'll eventually make it out there.

Buffalo's two latest high gain routers bring the answer of three antennas to the question of "How do I get more range on my wireless router?" Their WZR2-G300N 802.11N router has the standard features just about all routers have, including an external switch to flip between router and access point modes, in case you've already purchased a router with Gigabit Ethernet (this one doesn't have it) and want to use this only for your wireless needs.
In 802.11g news, the WHR-G125 also has that flip switch, but comes with only one antenna and 10/100 wired networking. These two are on the low end of the router spectrum, offering bare bones features at a bare bones price ($99 for the N, and $49 for the G). If all you need to do is get on the Internet, then Buffalo's got you covered.

Ben Barnett needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 9 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
We at Informatel are a technology company that is creating a mobile application for Planet Ark. The application will help people to find better ways to help the environment, from finding their closest recycling centre, to how to get involved on National Tree, to making a donation by sending an ecard to a friend.
We are targeting any one interested in helping the environment. They might be school children who want to get involved by planting trees, or they might be the elderly who want to send their grand children an ecard and at the same time make a donation to Planet Ark.
We require 8 different icons with the following technical requirements:
1) High-quality png format.
2) They should be square images that are180x180 pixels and they need to look good on a mobile phone so nothing too complex.
3) They should have a white background.
4) Any text should be large enough to view on a mobile phone.
We need the following icons:
1) GBill - this is for a green bill payment service done through a mobile.
2) eCard Maker - this will enable users to make a donation and send an ecard to their friends etc.
3) National Tree Day
4) Find Closest Recycling Centre (Recycle Locator).
5) Club Ark
6) News & Events.
7) Send to a Friend - send the application to a friend.
8) Planet Ark - we need just a generic planet ark image for the splash screen. This should be consistant with their current image (see website).
You can find out more by visiting http://www.planetark.org.au and checking out the designs of the icons on their websites. We would like something consistant with this design.
You will also find attached the current icons we are using in development as place markers (there isn't one for Send to a Friend). These should be a good guide as to what we are after. Just remember, if you include text it cannot be too small as it won't then be readable on a mobile phone (as is the current case with the recycling icon and the "National" above the Tree Day on that icon).

You are viewing one of the finest Aluminum drive gears for the RC18T available today.
If your looking for a one stop solution for bullet proofing your tranny on your RC18, this is a perfect place to start. The stock spur gear on the 18T is pretty simple, and made of the most inexpensive production material to help keep the end cost of the vehicle down for the customer. This is a good thing, but these gears get worn quickly, and should be replaced at the first sign of wear.
A worn gear can cause other gears to fail prematurely, and can add additional drag and friction o other areas on the vehicle. A badly worn gear can even reduce the life of a stock motor over time!
If you looking for the one of the highest quality spur gear for your RC18, this is the one is for you. Manufactured by GPM, a company well known for high quality, precision milled RC components. You wont need to replace this gear if its setup properly, likely for the LIFE of your vehicle.
Machined from the finest 7075 Aluminum and built to last!
57 Tooth: We also have these in 54T, 55T, and 56T.
Rating: 5 out of 10 *
*Install rating based off personal experience installing this device. Though I try my best to be honest to my viewers, some users may have more or less difficulty installing the device due to tools, experience, etc. Please don't hold me liable if you have a harder time than the rating I give.

We are more than happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases to save you money on shipping. We do require that all items must be paid for via a single payment. This makes it possible to match your items up for shipping, and eliminates the extra fees we get charged when separate payments are made. A single payment helps us keep our handling cost low - which in turn allows us to pass the savings on to you.) If separate payments are made, the full shipping charge for each item will apply. You may obtain combined shipping quotes in two ways. E-bay's system can do an automatic combination for you or you can E-mail us for a shipping total. We will either issue you a combined invoice through eBay. or we can E-mail you the shipping total for you to enter into your checkout.
Most packages will arrive within 3-10 days. The US Postal Service will not allow claims to be filed for lost packages until 30 days have elapsed. Lost packages are rare, but we ask that when it occurs you work with us to resolve the issue. We ship quickly, but have no control over what the carrier does with the package once it leaves our hands. If you need guaranteed delivery by a specific date, please E-mail us for a shipping quote that includes a guaranteed delivery date (such as Express Mail). Packages will ship via first class mail or priority mail.
We like to keep our items available to buyers across the globe. Please familiarize yourself with the following terms for international shipping before bidding. Some countries have restrictions on what may be imported into that country - please make sure you can legally Import the item before you bid. International shipping is extra and the buyer is responsible for all customs, duties, and taxes (we cannot falsify customs forms, as it illegal to do so - Falsifying a government document carries a penalty of 5 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine per occurrence.) You will need to check with your local customs office to determine what taxies and duties will be owed. Those fees are levied by your government. We have nothing to do with them, nor can we predict when or how much you will be charged in duties. Average Airmail transit times are 5-10 days, but can take longer. The UK and Spain commonly see longer transit times. During the Christmas season airmail transit times of 3 weeks are not uncommon. The postal service will not accept a claim for an international lost package until 45 days have passed.
**** If you cannot accept this delivery time frame, please either pay for Priority/Express Mail or do not make the purchase.
**** International
To get the USPS to track a International package you must ship it Priority Mail this option comes with some insurance around 50.00 for any item. More insurance can be purchased if needed. So we leave it as an option to help keep your shipping inexpensive If you do not purchase this tracking and insurance, then you accept all responsibility for loss or damage during shipping from that point. We cannot and will not be held responsible for packages lost by the post office that are not insured. Standard flat rate shipping charges do not include insurance.
Please help us keep your shipping inexpensive by living up to the choice you make.
As always, I promise my fellow RC fans that I will never charge the outrageous retail prices people ask for these parts. I am an RC fanatic, and I believe that we should all have the best parts for our cars and trucks for LESS! I seek to gain my customers as life long RC buddies by providing them with an honest deal up front, good communications, and good quality parts.

Making our customers happy is the 1st priority. Thanks, Mega-rc.
Thank you kindly for taking the time to look at our parts! Mega-Rc guy

A 59-year-old woman from Ohio died in a two-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 160 about two miles east of Bayfield shortly after 5 p.m. Sunday.
Colorado State Patrol Capt. Adrian Driscoll said the woman was a passenger in a Dodge Avenger that was side-swiped by an eastbound extended-cab Ford that was partially in the westbound lane.
The driver of the Avenger, whom Driscoll believed was the husband of the woman who was killed, was taken to Mercy Regional Medical Center with broken ribs.
The cause and further details of the accident remain under investigation Driscoll said.
The two men in the Ford pickup are from the Pagosa Springs area, and both were taken to Mercy Regional Medical Center with minor injuries, Driscoll said.
Identities of the people involved in the accident were not released pending notification of their families, Driscoll said.
The main witness of the accident was driving a car that was hit by debris from the accident, and suffered minor injuries, Driscoll said.
Trooper Josh Lewis, the public information officer in Denver Sunday night, said the accident blocked U.S. Highway 160 in both directions "almost immediately" Lewis said. At 6:10 p.m. Sunday crews were able to open one lane on Highway 160 to alternating east-west traffic, but only one lane remained open as late as 9 p.m. Sunday, Lewis said.
