The Xbox One now costs the same as the PS4, which is great, however take a look at the steps leading up to this and you'll see something went terribly wrong
The Xbox One should never have come with Kinect in the first place. There, I've said it. We were all thinking it but now I've actually said it. Taking that into account, surely that means I'm happy now Microsoft has ditched its lead brick of a webcam? Sadly not, I'm livid.
Now it's very easy to use the 'hindsight' argument but in this case Microsoft only has itself to blame. The original Kinect was innovative, expensive and deeply flawed, which is why it was an opt-in product. It required people to talk to an inanimate object, something which is arguably still deeply embarrassing to do in anything other than your own company. With this in mind it was with mild to indifferent puzzlement that I saw Microsoft announce Kinect as a requirement for Xbox One.
Move on to Christmas and like any keen gamer I bought the Xbox One for full retail price, since then Microsoft has dished out a few minor shin kicks, the first being the Titanfall + Xbox One price drop which punished me by £100 for not waiting. The second being the increasing talk about power. Now I couldn't care less about the resolution issues, upscaling means it's almost indistinguishable. Instead what I care about is frame rates: It's the reason PC gamers are so unutterably smug and it's why Assassin's Creed: Revelations was almost unplayable on Xbox 360. As such I've been understandably hoping that the Xbox One would one day be able to offer the magic 60fps.
With that in mind you'd think the Xbox One was using every last drop of power to make sure your games ran at their absolute best? Well you'd be wrong, and the cause is Kinect. Because it's essentially running all the time it has been given a dedicated share of the processing power, the reasoning being so that when you scream expletives at the screen NBA 2K14 will know to tell you off. The problem is that just weeks after announcing the Xbox One wouldn't work without Kinect, they then promptly announced that this was complete rubbish. So what's happened to that spare processing power? Well at the moment I can only assume it's quietly sat in a café somewhere working its way through the world's largest crossword.
And therein lies the issue, they made a mistake, a massive one. The evolution of any technology is about moving forward, because that way you know that if you do make a mistake at least the console worked just fine before. There was no Xbox One without Kinect at the start, it was built FOR Kinect, it was compromised to include Kinect.
So what does this mean for the future? Well for starters you can say goodbye to any AAA game that features Kinect. It was an afterthought for the 360, an annoyance when the Xbox One launched and will almost certainly become invisible now it's not required. Developers are already spending millions just making the games, they don't want to waste precious time and resources on a something that's as big as Kinect when there's no guarantee anyone will use it.
Next up there's a slither of good news - Microsoft has already said it's in talks with publishers about using that extra power now Kinect isn't using it. This won't happen overnight though, so when you buy your Kinect-less Xbox, that extra power will still be in a café somewhere. Which leads us onto the next point, your Kinect-less Xbox One will now cost the same as a PS4 (£349). Having initially started at £80 dearer Microsoft has seen the adoption rates and is ready to accept that 'premium' or not, in the consumers eyes, it's on par with the PS4.
Finally Microsoft will have to revamp the UI, it was built for motion and voice and it shows, a more controller-friendly UI will mean it's easier to get around.
It'd be easier to forgive them if Microsoft hadn't just tried to fix making the exact same mistake with Windows 8. Originally designed with touch screens in mind it became clear to Microsoft that actually we still like our keyboards and mice. It then issued a get out of jail card in the form of Windows 8.1, bringing back the desktop and allowing full control of the interface using a mice and keyboard. It's almost as if the Xbox team looked on at the debacle and just went 'yeah but that won't happen to us'. It has, and they should have seen it coming.

Brian Schulz is a former Navy lieutenant and flight officer who found a new career selling medical devices with Medtronic Spinal and Biologics. We caught up with Lt. Schulz to ask him about medical industry prospects for veterans, and to get a few tips about searching for a job.
Tell us about your military experience and background.
I graduated from the Naval Academy in 1999 and became a Naval flight officer so I was down in Pensacola for two years, and completed flight training down there. I worked with S-3 Vikings out of San Diego and finished at the end of September 2001, when I was immediately deployed with the USS Carl Vincent for the first strikes in Afghanistan. I later served on the USS Nimitz during Operation Iraqi Freedom -- we got there in April 2003 and spent about eight months on that deployment, after which I came back to Pensacola as a flight instructor.
What led you to your current position?
When I found out that S-3s were going to be decommissioned I had the choice of selecting a new platform and doing back-to-back sea tours to catch up with my JOs, or getting out into the business world, so I just decided it was a good time to part ways with the military. I worked with a number of recruiters, and I also went to a lot of career conferences – my preference was for sales, and I hoped to get into medical device sales if possible. Orion International got in touch one day, and a job had come across their desk for a Sales Education Representative Program that a company called Kyphon was offering. The guy from Orion was able to get me an initial interview at Kyphon's headquarters in Sunnyvale, California, and then we had a second group interview with 15 people. Probably two-thirds of them were military, and the other third were young professionals who were in some type of medical sales.
I ended up getting hired into the program, along with another Navy guy and two Army guys. We spent a year on training, with six months in Sunnyvale, and six months traveling, covering territories across the nation, just to get the sales experience. Now I have my own territory in Montana and I've been up here for the last four years.
One might not necessarily associate being a flight officer with working in the medical industry. What skills did you pick up in the military that help you in your current job?
We walk into our first squadron, platoon or ship when we're 22 or 23 years old and we immediately get leadership experience, with responsibility for enlisted people – that experience is hard to come by in the civilian world. Most people don't get the opportunity to manage until they're in their late twenties or early thirties. We get management and leadership experience at a very early age, and we get to utilize that over our full term of service. From the aviation world, I picked up the attention to detail, the tremendous amount of planning that goes into executing a flight, as well as learning from the debrief what you can do to improve next time. That really translated well into my current job -- it's very similar to a surgeon who pre-plans a surgery, executes it and reviews it afterwards, figuring out how to make things smoother and more efficient in the future. Another thing we walk away with from the military is a great understanding of communication both up and down the chain of command. It's still surprising to me that my contemporaries who haven't been in the military don't have that. In the military, we're very aware of keeping our leadership informed and keeping those who we are responsible for informed of what's going on, and it's been very beneficial in my current role.
Would you consider the medical industry a good civilian career for veterans?
I think it would be a great fit for anyone getting out of the military – health care and energy are two of the top sectors to get in just because people are always going to need both. I've really enjoyed it. If people are interested in a sales job, medical device sales is a great field to get into. Metronic and Johnson & Johnson both have programs that heavily recruit junior officers. It's lucrative, and it's also an avenue where you're dealing with surgeons, who are at the top of the food chain in the health industry, so it's a lot of fun, it's interesting, and challenging.
What was your job search experience like? Any lessons learned?
There was definitely a very steep learning curve with my resume and translating what I'd done in the military to civilian terms: being able to communicate what you did in the military into the civilian world and how that would make you successful in that job or position. Job recruiters do a pretty good job of helping but they're working with tons of candidates and they get paid when the candidate gets a job. They're going to try getting you the best opportunity, but if they can't they might pigeonhole you in another opportunity, because that's how they're going to get paid. I didn't have the trust that they had my best interests in mind because they were for-profit companies, so I searched on my own as well, and that's why I worked with Orion and a couple other recruiters. But the big advantage of working with recruiters at career fairs was that they could get you eight to ten interviews in one day, which was just awesome. When someone who's just getting out of the military approaches me I ask them to shoot me their resume and I try to help edit it and give them pointers on translating military experience into civilian-speak, and then encourage them to apply on their own, and get recruiters to get them interviews. Hopefully it's a win-win situation for both parties.
There's also service academy career conferences where you have to be a service academy grad to go – they're extremely well attended. For example, the one in DC has over 150 companies, and it's a great experience because all the companies are there to hire junior officers. I went to a couple of those and it helped me narrow down what I really wanted to do.
Any other tips for people getting out?
Expect a challenging uphill battle. You might think that you can just get out and find a position, but it's a lot more difficult than that in today's economic environment, where jobs aren't the easiest thing to come by. The number-one objective is to get an interview, and once you get an interview hopefully you can knock their socks off. Even if that position isn't for you, you can voice that after the interview is completed or when you get the job offer. Hopefully you can get your foot in the door and spark their interest, and find a position that's a good fit for you, but it's definitely not an easy task.
I was given some good advice at a job conference from a guy who had been out of the military for a while, who suggested getting in with a brand-name company, a top-of-the-line company. If you can do a great job there for three to five years, you'll really be able to write a great ticket for your next position. Unless you have a career track you're trying to follow, it's a good strategy to find a top-performing company and get experience with them.
I don't think online resume submissions are very worthwhile. I think I must have submitted my resume 50 times and never even got a reply, so I would strongly recommend not to focus on online submissions, but on recruiters and directly contacting companies. I've found that networking sites are valuable, so I would encourage you to take that translated civilian-speak resume and build a nice profile, and use that to connect with people in industries and companies that you're looking to get into. Try to find a buddy from the military who has completed the job search, rely on people who have gotten through the process, and learn from their experiences.

I have often been preoccupied with narrative arcs and mythologies, and while it might be difficult to see a narrative in the mundane of day-to-day life, the truth is, we wake up, breathe, and deal with a narrative arc each and every day. Of course the earliest and most potent arc was the Hero's Journey, as broken down by Joseph Campbell. The origin of all story-telling began with individuals speaking about their travels. Motion and travel can be a great soothing balm, and can often allow for great introspection, when circumstances allow. One idea that spontaneously struck me was to write on my laptop computer on my way to and from Los Angeles, with various thoughts, observations, and armchair altruistic philosophies.
I would argue that you can find a narrative arc in something as commonplace as a road trip, and perhaps, in the most subtle of ways, you can capture a few fleeting moments of something metaphysical as well.
On Friday, May 6th, I was out the door an on my way by 4:30 AM. It seems to shock people that I am willing to travel to Los Angeles from the Bay Area at such an early hour, but I am able to avoid traffic by using this tactic, and it insures that I can arrive in LA at a reasonable hour. I had made arrangements to stay with my cousin and his wife in Santa Monica for that evening. I was on my way...
Out of the bay area, another wonderful sunrise. The air is crisp and clean. A cavalcade of birds chirp at the first rest stop. There's a group of insects that look like fire ants on the pavement, but I doubt they are. I managed to wake up by 3:20 AM. Seal is on the CD player as I continue...
You know, it's understandable why primitive man viewed sunrises to sunsets as commensurate to a life cycle. Seal's Dreaming in Metaphors remains one of his best songs, "Trying to hold to something we couldn't understand." It becomes hard to define the distinctions between reality and metaphysics. I don't mean psychosis, or hallucinations, I mean perhaps our dreams are a kind of parallel universe. Anyway, to continue, Amiee Mann on the player next…
There's an owl hooting in a tree. I couldn't find it, but could hear it. I wonder if that signifies anything?
If God exists, I suspect God expects us to appreciate the little things...
It's amazing, as a species, how we're supposed to compartmentalize everything, put ourselves into different modes of thinking, depending upon the situations in which we find ourselves. In some respects, how we put on different masks, or personas to fit into a situation.
I had a bite to eat at a place that featured a novelty shop, most of which was junk, but they did have some nice dream catchers.
I'm feeling dazed after a long stretch on I5. There's one part that is brutal.
I'm fairly certain X-Files fans could Identify with this idea: Have you ever seen an innocuous location and imagined it held a military secret? There's my first X-Files contemplation of the day. As photographed.
I'm on my way again...
I'm in Valencia, near an Art College I wanted to attend ages ago...The paths not taken. I got through the second stretch of I5.
While writing my previous blog entry at a rest stop (11:05), a woman passed me and made a snide joke. "Just can't leave that computer alone." It just amazes me how people presume. I could understand the comment on some level; I have been in enough Starbucks to see people on laptops just to surf the net, and not really work. I don't have internet access on my laptop; I use it strictly for writing.
There's a rumor that the special guest attending at the X-Files Book signing event is a male actor, last time I checked, everyone was speculating it was Nick Lea or David Duchovny. We shall see. The weather is what I expected. Hot. I'm recovering from the daze of the drive. Valencia is a lovely little town; if you've never passed through it, recommended.
Thirty-six miles to go. I'll be on my way soon...
About an hour later, I arrived at my cousin's place. Waited in the car for them to come home, got coffee, just relaxed. Friday evening, after settling, we went to a nice Italian/Americana restaurant. Had breakfast Saturday morning, at a 50s-flavored greasy spoon with them and then I was on my way to the AFI campus. Details of that can be found on the Lexicon. David nor Nick Lea ever made it.
For the site, the outcome was a resounding success. I felt a little like a knight that vanquishes a dragon. I had another dinner with my cousin that evening, then we all crashed early. I got up about 6:00 AM, Sunday morning, and was on my way by 7:30.
May 8th, 9:05 AM
Back in Valencia again. Yesterday was a resounding success. In the mythos of the hero's journey, he has to survive the skirmish, and that is how it feels today.
There's the adage, Hope for the best, expect the worst. It seems to be second nature for me, but I was priming myself for several disappointments that never transpired. That mindset has become a reflex for me, the way I prime myself.
The Misty Mountains of Gorman.
Green Day is on the play list, they seem to get a lot of flack about their street creed, but I have to give them credit, their last two albums captured the feelings of a percentage of disaffected youth, this sense of America in a slow decline, and the fact that many institutions are breaking down at this point, as well as the problem of being bound to religious dogma. I keep thinking about that verse from 'See the Light'.
I crossed the River, fell into the sea,
Where the non-believers, go beyond belief
Then I scratched the surface, in the mouth of hell,
Running out of service, in the Blood I fell.
Perhaps that's the best ideal, to be spiritual, and to go beyond belief…
I've been pondering. Is one of the goals in life to become altruistic? What happens when you live in a society that doesn't value altruism?
I write this at a rest stop, facing an orchard of apple trees. It's cooled off on I5, and it's been an overcast Sunday.
I had a bite to eat earlier. Could this be any more bucolic? It reminds me of Clark Kent's Smallville.
I arrived home at around 6:30, exhausted. I was reminded of the subtitle of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit–There And Back Again.
Then I had a lot of work to do. You can check out the reports and videos of the event at the Lexicon.
I have no idea if I achieved any greater insight through this experiment, but I suspect it's a process, being mindful of your surroundings, looking out, keeping your eyes open for little transformative moments.
Special thanks for editorial help from XScribe, and belated thanks to her for the previous entry.

text: So I have applied to Amity twice. The first time, I got to the second stage and then four weeks later I got an e-mail saying they would not hire me. This second time they have now sent me an e-mail asking for a background check! They didn't ask for this last time, so I can only assume I'm still in the running. My question is, is there anyone who gets the background check and then is not hired? Assuming there is nothing on their record of course, which besides a speeding ticket I'm fine.

Always Game
The Super Bowl airs on February 6, and you should probably watch it at Auto Battery.
LAST SUMMER, YOUNG IMPRESARIO Laura Olson and partners opened Auto Battery in the vacant space neighboring her Po Dog hot dog restaurant on Union Street. Along cinder-block walls they mounted flat-screen televisions—10 total, aimed toward 20 or so tables scattered about. Behind these, in the back section, they installed two wood-lined shuffleboard tables. Beneath those, a cache of silver kegs bears witness to the large volume of brew moving in and out. Olson's signature Po Dog wieners—one dressed in potato chips and nacho cheese, another with banana slices and peanut butter—are also up for order at Auto Battery.
It's a sports bar, guests are meant to understand from the banners and beer signs celebrating the Seahawks, Sounders, and Huskies. But in a manner befitting the neighborhood (where bars decorated in non-sequitur-ish themes seem to proliferate daily) the place has a second, less straightforward theme, borrowed from the car battery repair shop whose lease it assumed. From a white corkboard dangle tools intended for removing busted car batteries and installing cooling fans. An apparatus once used to measure electrical currents and voltage now houses the beer taps. And an advertisement for Interstate Batteries, "built to last and priced right," still hangs below the bar.
Auto Battery (1009 E Union St, Capitol Hill, 206-322-2886; autobatterybar.com) opens at 8am on weekends, 11am on weekdays. Between televised games and appropriate drinking hours, bartenders offer espresso, omelets, and, of course, hot dogs. There's free Wi-Fi, and cable news on the TVs. These attractions prove weak on wet winter weekdays, when a solitary imbiber may suffer that member of the staff who cranks symphonic metal bands from Finland. But stick around into happy hour, and, like a basement rec room when the kids come home from college, Auto Battery changes from dreary to joyous. Seattle U students surround shuffleboard tables, draining pints as they play. Office mates arrive and order mini corn dogs and pitchers. Their conversation drops, now and again, to a conspiratorial whisper, then erupts into that liberating laughter that comes when coworkers acknowledge some hitherto tacitly understood truth about their place of employ.
But it's at game time, all eyes trained on the screen, when this bomb-shelter-looking bar reveals its true beauty. Because besides two beams supporting the bar, there is nary an architectural obstruction to separate sports fan from televised competition. More beautiful still is the discordant wonder of watching Capitol Hillers—the flannelly, bearded fellows and the rat-tailed smokers in their tight jeans and the girls with their socks sticking out of their boots and that old oddie who carries around a typewriter in its suitcase—turn suddenly, and without warning, into screaming sports fans.

By definition, one can say that web design is responsive when it works seamlessly and smoothly on any device that it is used on. A website has a good web design if it runs perfectly on mobile, tablets, computers, and anywhere else.
Companies and businesses today have their own website – this is where they communicate with their customers and clients all the time. Being the mediator for your customers' needs and requirements, it must run smoothly at all times so your business won't be jeopardized in any way. You can ask for the help of a web design company in Dubai so you can have a good website.
To help you understand its importance even more, here are the reasons why you need to have a responsive web design:
1. Improves the experience on mobile.

Daisy & Holly back again!
We've had a really lazy day today, we got up late, then went back to bed for another snooze, and that made us late for our morning walk! It was a bit drafty, up on the top field, the wind was blowing hard and even Old Two Legs had to take his glasses off because the wind was making his eyes water.
When we got back, we had our normal brush before breakfast, but breakfast was Chicken!
Chicken is our most favourite food, second possibly to OTL's shortbread or maybe his Twigglets, or a bit of Venison Burger, (OTL calls 'em Bambi Burgers) or some Roast Beef or maybe a bit of Lamb, or even Pork Pie!
After breakfast, it was back to the office and our day bed, for a snooze before going out again, on our Sunday Adventure!
|After Breakfast Snooze
So that's what we did, all the way down there we woofed at the other dogs on the side of the road and Holly sang a couple of new songs she had learnt from Buster next door! After a while we were all singing them as we went through the town! It was especially funny 'cos OTL kept forgetting the words and got the chorus all mixed up!
When we got there, we started off by watching a Spaniel type of dog running about in the field, chasing a ball and taking it back to it's master. Pretty stupid game we thought, what's the good of taking the ball back to your Master if he's going to throw it away again?
|Watching Training & Laughing!
Holly said that it was a waste of time taking the ball back and some dogs just didn't have their tails screwed on straight! I wasn't too sure of what she meant but I agreed, just to keep her happy!
It was good fun sniffing all over the Farm, you see we had not been down there for a little while. The old sniffs had faded and there were new ones to check on. It's a sort of Doggy Notice Board of who's around!
I'm sure I could smell a squirrel here but it was a faint sniff. I could also sniff fox that had past by but that was last night.
|Sniffin Squirrels
We met a big bouncy Labrador type of dog that scared me 'cos he was just too large!
His name is Cody, a funny name for a dog, but OTL says it's an American type of name, made famous by Buffalo Bill Cody who chased Indians and ate Buffalo Steaks and drank whisky without shortbread!
|Buffalo Bill Cody on the Road!
Here's a picture just to show you what it's like on The Farm.
|Run Daisy Run!
We got back home, all sort of worn out and ready for our afternoon snooze.
We woke up just before it was time for dinner, it was chicken and a few biscuits!
We are pretty good at telling the time by the rumbling of our tummies, it's called a Doggy Clock!
See you again tomorrow!
Luv D&H

Mobile Wallets Or Chip Cards?
Time is money. It's a saying as old as money itself, and almost as old as time. But, in these days of super fast transactions, seconds count. The following article details some of the speed differences in the newest forms of electronic payments.
Why Apple Pay and Other Mobile Wallets Beat Chip Cards
Every weekend, when Pierre Houle works the brunch shift at Olea, a neighborhood restaurant in San Francisco, many customers want to split the tab on multiple credit cards, a process that takes much longer than it used to.
For waiters like Mr. Houle, diners going Dutch is nothing new. But now he has to take each of the credit cards, insert them into a chip reader and wait about 10 seconds for every transaction to process. In the past, he could swipe a card, wait a few seconds, print out the receipt and get going.
"It isn't much, but in the restaurant world it can be enormous," he said. "I have to wait there, and I can't go check on something else. You need to move all the time when you do a job like that."
Many merchants and retail workers are watching their lives play in slow motion when they process credit cards. To combat fraudulent transactions, the retail industry is shifting away from the traditional magnetic stripe toward tiny computer chips embedded inside cards. The chip technology, known as E.M.V. (for Europay, MasterCard and Visa) has been around for decades in Europe. But starting last October in the United States, banks pushed the liability of purchases made with counterfeit credit cards onto merchants. (Continue reading…)

Japanese car audio brand Bewith, which has made a name for itself by releasing a series of high-end car audio units, has released an all-new high-performance speaker system. The company says that this new system challenges the top speaker models on the market today. Let's take a closer look at its components and what it can do.
The name of this new product is Accurate III. It was released on the same day as the new flagship Confidence III series.
The first Accurate model made its appearance in 2003 and it evolved into the Accurate II in 2010. This new model appears now after five years of refinement and offers an even higher quality upgrade than the change from I to II.
Before we get into where and how the system changed, let's look at the Accurate III lineup. It includes:
– Accurate III 13cm separate 2-way system – 180,000 yen
– A-50III 5cm wide-range tweeter – 80,000 yen per pair
– A-130III 13cm mid-woofer – 80,000 yen per pair
Every component has been changed except for the 18cm sub-woofer, which is the same product used in the Accurate II series, released in 2012.
Even though Accurate III sells at a much lower price than the top-end Confidence III series, by all appearances it is a high-end product. The diaphragm and frame's special Pearl White surface treatment is the same as that of Confidence II, and except for the different center cap color, it gives the same impression as Confidence III and like Confidence III, it also offers an extremely high level of satisfaction.
In fact, the diaphragm materials and the edge and damper have been given an upgrade to put them on par with the Confidence. It is the first in the Accurate grade to use a special mica compound polymer surface treatment that gives it improved rigidity and lighter weight while also increasing internal loss.
Aside from the magnetic circuit, including basket construction and mid-woofer magnet, the quality is largely the same as the Confidence II. For the mid-woofer magnet, Confidence III uses neodymium while Accurate III uses ferrite. Confidence II is a 13cm separate 2-way system that is 440,000 yen not including tax. The Accurate III series has many parts that are on par with those of the Confidence II but at a lower price, making it quite a bargain.
Along with the changes in the diaphragm and key parts like the damper and edge that drive the speaker, the magnetic circuit has been fine tuned. In order to get the best sound quality performance in the Accurate grade's history, repeated tests and listening trials were conducted to find just the right tuning.
But how have these changes actually influenced the sound? In order to find out, I participated in a demo car listening trial. Here is what I found.
The demo car was a Mercedes-Benz C Class station wagon. Here is the system it was equipped with. The sound unit was a STATE MM-1D. The processor was the STATE A6. There were five P-100 power amps. The speaker system was an A-50III tweeter, A-130III mid-woofer, and A-180II sub-woofer. It was equipped with one V-50 audio regulator.
The door mid-woofers were installed in the inner buffer and deadening was very light. The car had a full system but it was installed in a very natural way with a power amp and speaker that were standard grade. In other words, it was installed like an actual system and felt familiar.
I got in the driver's seat and the music started.
I was blown away by the sound that issued from the system at the moment it started. It was exactly what you'd expect from Bewith. The sense of the position of each sound and each sound's sharpness was amazing. It gave the sense of an actual live performance, with each musician on stage in a different place. I could pinpoint each unique sound even down to the delicate percussion.
There was no sense that the sound was coming from speakers at all. I felt like I was in a concert hall and the sound was being produced right in front of me. The vocals and each individual instrument sounded fresh. In terms of producing sound that's startlingly close to reality, this system is definitely among the top. And installed in a car like this, it was unbelievable.
Listening closely, I could really hear the texture well at each part of the frequency range. The low tones had depth and sustain but were also tight. The system really brings out the best in the bass tones. The mid-range is thick and the response is fast. The sound rises sharply and the rhythms were delightful and brisk. The high range was extremely delicate. Each sound was distinctly delineated.
Accurate III truly produced the highest level of quality sound that only a high-end system can offer. At this price range, it's especially remarkable.
There can be no doubt that the Accurate III series delivers on its promises. If you're putting together a high-end system and budget is a consideration, Accurate III is definitely something to consider. I guarantee you won't regret it.

A message from Dr. Susan LaCombe
Ever since I discovered how a "12 second practice" could give my emotional life a dramatic 'makeover', I've been passionate about teaching the incredible discoveries of neuroscience and translating them into practical, everyday techniques.
You know we normally think of the nervous system as a passive carrier of signals running between the brain and the body. But neuroscience reveals how profoundly our emotional lives are rooted within its cells.
Here's what happens when the nervous system is NOT working:
You see as you go about your day – both the excitement and stress you encounter trigger the cells in your body to release energy. If that energy remains bottled up, you'll be hyper, checked out or less present.
A nervous system that's high functioning on the other hand, can regulate more in a day without maxing you out. You're clear headed and less reactive to the stress and emotional challenges you face.
Good news from the lab...
Psychologists used to believe that the nervous system was set in stone early on, and unchangeable. We now know we can change the basic functioning of the nervous system, and can do so without medications.
The beauty of working with the brain organically - as we do with a bodymindful approach - is that the impact is felt across your total functioning…emotionally, mentally, physically, even spiritually.
You're just better at being human all round!
That's how it is when a little "12 second body practice" leads to a mindfulness mindset…nurture it, and it just keeps on getting better.
God Bless,
Ed.D. of Counseling Psychology
You feel refreshed and open to the the world – no longer pulled into a crisis/freeze mode cycle – you're in the flow.
As fearfulness diminished, it's easier to express yourself to friends, family and your partner (even your therapist). Why? Because now you manage your emotions – they no longer manage you.
When you take time to be with your body you connect to that feeling of "me". And when you're comfortable in your own skin – you're at ease with your body.
Relationships change when you are manifestly present. You come to realize that your attuned presence fosters an attitude of true empathy and compassion, and others can feel it.
As your physical self-awareness grows, you adopt healthy habits of diet, exercise and rest to nurture and sustain your body.
You experience a new freedom as bad habits gradually lessen their grip. Healthy sustaining habits are easily – and cheerfully – adopted in their place.
As the persistent mental chatter gradually fades away you can ground yourself in the stillness of the present moment. Indeed, you can finally and fully surrender to the experience of life, laughter and joy.

text: trunkskgb 0 Posted January 4, 2011 Like the topic suggest I am trying to find out how to install and successfully run Dawn on a 64 bit system. When I used to play on XP I had to change the compatibility settings and install an XP patch to play but it won't even launch the setup.exe file on my 64 bit OS. I looked around the forums here the other night and saw one or two topics and one of them said something about a setup manager but I can't seem to find that topic again. I have the Worldwide Warefare pack, I'm aware of the OpenRA(source implementation) and the free download of Dawn on the EA website. I just want to get this game installed again on my PC so I can play. I'm not really worried about playing online , but if I can I might. I'd rather just get the missions and I would be fine with those. My specs are Win 7x64 ATI 5800 series 6 gig ram intel core i7 930 proc Share this post Link to post

Magnolia routs Columbian for 2nd straight win
Magnolia caught fire early to torch Columbian, 126-101, in the 2018 PBA Commissioner's Cup Wednesday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The Hotshots outscored the Dyip, 37-18, in the first 12 minutes of the game en route to their second straight win.
The game was over quick with Magnolia's lead swelling to 32 points, 72-40, in the second quarter after Alvin Abundo's triple while Columbian never recovered.
In a matchup of the league's most explosive offense and stingiest defense, it was the Hotshots' dirty work that stopped the Dyip on its tracks.
Magnolia holds its opponents to a league-best 88.1 points per game, fully compensating for its humble 89.5 ppg production, and that vaunted defense was in full display against the Dyip, who top the conference with 111.8 points per outing.
"We have to respect this Columbian team because they're on a really good run right now," said Magnolia head coach Chito Victolero in Filipino. "It's a battle of our defense against their offense, and it was a good thing that my players had the right mindset."
Vernon Macklin, who played his penultimate game in the PBA before flying to China to play in another professional league, posted 19 points and nine boards to lead the Hotshots.
Ian Sangalang had 18 points to add to Magnolia's cause with Paul Lee posting 17 points and eight assists while Mark Barroca had a similar line of 17 points and six assists.
Jio Jalalon missed out on a double-double as he finished with 11 points and nine rebounds.
John Fileds had a 22-point, 19-rebound double-double to play conductor for the Dyip while Jerramy King had 19 points.

The northern crested caracara is widespread in Sonora's lower country, including much of the Sonoran Desert, semi-desert grasslands, and thorn-scrub. It is uncommon in Arizona except on the Tohono O'odham Nation and some surrounding country. It nests often in saguaros and occasionally in tall trees. The nest is easily distinguished from other raptor nests because it is made entirely from very fine materials such as grass, never out of sticks or heavier material.

College lists and rankings can be found all across the internet, from news sources to blogs (and even on CollegeXpress.com!). College or university websites may highlight U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review, and other common college rankings on their homepage, showing the best statistics to draw you to their school. While the top schools may appear #1 on the list of the "Best Colleges in the United States" and brag about their top-ranked programs, there's a lot more to look into when deciding where to spend the next four (or more) years of your life after high school. College lists are a helpful tool to become familiar with well-known universities and colleges, but these rankings should only be the beginning of your research.
Related: Do College Rankings Matter?
It's a great idea to search for the top schools of your intended major and interests, especially when beginning the college search process. For example, those interested in science and research may want to look for the colleges and universities with the most funded and successful research programs. Athletes may look at the top athletic programs based off sports networks' national team rankings. Checking out college lists and rankings is helpful when you're putting together your own top 10 list of schools, and looking through rankings online gets you familiar with the names of the top schools with your interests.
But when you have your college list narrowed down to a few, college lists shouldn't be the deciding factor of where to go. Instead, you should to make your own pros and cons list for your top picks—factors that are important to you, not just to the #1 rankings. This is a great way to visually see what draws your interest. Once you have your list for your personal top picks, start researching what you want most in a university. Cost of tuition is often a big factor when it comes to choosing a college, as well as availability of financial aid. Location can also be important. If you hate dark and cold winters, I wouldn't recommend any post-secondary education in Alaska. And if heat and humidity aren't your friends, colleges in the South may not be the best decision. Does the college have clubs you enjoyed in high school? If they don't, are you able to start your own? If your faith is important to you, are there ways to keep you rooted in your beliefs on or near campus?. Find a college where you can enjoy and be yourself while earning a valuable education.
Related: Top Factors to Consider When Choosing a College or University
All in all, college lists should be used as a starting point rather than a decision-maker in the college search. Use these lists and rankings to find colleges to compare to one another. Which has your intended major? How about extracurricular activities you want to pursue? Which college from the rankings has the best cafeteria food or the best opportunities to volunteer within the local community? How difficult is it to get accepted into one college compared the next? These are the questions you need to answer, and searching through college lists is a great way to find potential contenders to fit your needs.

This free to play platformer requires a $9.99 cost to unlock the entire game. However, this has not stopped the game from receiving over 40 million downloads within the iOS app store. Super Mario Run's initial popularly trumps Pokémon Go's launch as it only took the former app a mere four days to reach 25 Million downloads. What makes the app's popularity so significant is that it only took the app a fraction of the time to reach many millions of downloads. It is only on iOS with an Android port coming shortly.
Super Mario Run MDM Data Woes
However, although this new game is enjoyable to many, its catchiness is proving problematic to MDM and Mobility based companies regarding excessive data usage and lost productivity. It is estimated that Super Mario Run uses over 75MB of data per hour. This can especially be problematic if your clients are using other extracurricular apps like Instagram, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Snapchat. This can especially be problematic if your clients are traveling and roaming on international plans which are intended to provide only the essentials as opposed to their higher capacity international plans.
Thankfully with a variety of MDM solutions, including the ones that we have at Wireless Analytics, common issues regarding data usage, mobile phone malfunction, and general mobile device errors can easily be tracked and reported to the proper parties.

According to state laws, a permit application may need to be filed to obtain water rights.
Surface water is readily available for multiple activities, such as hydrostatic testing, hydraulic fracturing, or just keeping the dust settled on a construction site. Before putting a pump in the nearby creek or pond to get the water, a permit might be required.
Water acquisition permits may be necessary if surface waters (lake, pond, stream, creek, etc) are used for certain activities. Each state has a set of laws pertaining to water rights, and those laws can be quite cumbersome. Applying for a permit takes patience and knowledge of the permitting process.
Who needs a permit? Generally speaking, farmers, ranchers, cities, industries, businesses and other private/public interests are granted water rights. If surface water is needed, then a permit is most likely necessary.
Why is a permit necessary? Basically, there is only so much water available at any given time. That water must meet the needs of all those asking for permission to use. Without a permit process in place, certain water bodies may not have enough water to meet demands. By limiting use through permits, water needs can be met on a regular basis.
Where to get a permit? Each state has an agency that oversees water permitting. In Texas, for example, water permits are issued through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The state is responsible for tracking all permits to ensure water gets to the appropriate user.
Whether impounding a creek or pumping water from a stream, a water acquisition permit may be necessary. Check state regulations or contact RS&H for assistance.

Fiat Chrysler has joined a self-driving car partnership between Intel and BMW, according to CNBC. Engineers from all three companies will work to improve self-driving systems and vehicles by working on AI, machine learning, and sensor technology.
Those efforts will occur in different locations around the world, including Germany and the US.
Adding Fiat Chrysler to the partnership could help the companies bring a vehicle to market faster, and possibly expand into new ventures.
- It could help the companies bring a vehicle to market faster. Combining Intel's tech prowess and BMW and Fiat Chrysler's manufacturing know-how could allow for faster progress on self-driving cars than would be possible if the companies were working independently. That could help the automakers to bring a car to market ahead of schedule, giving them an even bigger leg up on rivals like Toyota, Nissan, Ford, and Hyundai that plan to deploy autonomous vehicles later.
- And building out the partnership could help open new frontiers, like self-driving trucks, to its members. Autonomous trucks offer numerous benefits — such as faster shipping and lower fuel costs — to both companies that ship goods and their end customers, it's likely they will come into high demand once the technology is ready. Fiat Chrysler has a robust background in semi-trucks — the company has been building them for over two decades, and currently sells the vehicles in both the European and North American markets. Given this background in the space, the companies take the technology stack they've developed for self-driving cars, and apply a similar set of technologies to trucks if the firms choose to go this route.
But while the firms may want to use Fiat Chrysler to expand their global reach, it's not yet clear that some international markets are ready for autonomous cars. One of the primary assets Fiat-Chrysler brings to the table in the self-driving car market is its global scale — the company owns 11 different automakers that are based in three continents — so it's possible the companies could want to leverage this scale to deploy self-driving cars in new international markets. But evidence is mounting that the roads in many developing markets might not be suited for self-driving cars — the cars' systems rely on existing road signs, which in many developing countries are either very difficult for a computing system to read, or don't exist at all. Further, India has suggested it could ban autonomous cars from its streets, an approach that could be taken by other countries that fear self-driving cars could leave millions of cab drivers unemployed.
Peter Newman, research analyst for BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has compiled a detailed report on self-driving cars that:
- Sizes the current and future self-driving car market, forecasting shipments and projecting installed base.
- Explains the current state of technology, regulation, and consumer perception.
- Analyzes how the development of autonomous cars will impact employment and the economy.

Jeannette coach Ray Reitz remembers first setting eyes on Terrelle Pryor when his future quarterback was playing midget football. "He was so much bigger than everyone else," Reitz said. "We thought the other kids would catch up to him."
Jeannette coach Ray Reitz remembers first setting eyes on Terrelle Pryor when his future quarterback was playing midget football.
"He was so much bigger than everyone else," Reitz said. "We thought the other kids would catch up to him."
They never did. Nor did any other player at any school in Pennsylvania.
Already a two-time all-state selection heading into his senior year, the 6-foot-6, 225-pound Pryor further distanced himself from all others while completing his career as The Associated Press Pennsylvania Class AA Player of the Year.
It's all but certain that if there was an overall player of the year in the state, Pryor would have won that, too — despite playing two classes below Class AAAA.
Pryor amassed 3,778 yards in total offense — remarkably, split almost equally between running (1,899 yards) and passing (1,889 yards) — in leading the Jayhawks from the Pittsburgh area to a PIAA championship and a 16-0 season.
Pryor also accounted for a remarkable 58 touchdowns, scoring 35 times and throwing for 23. He scored a touchdown nearly once every four times he touched the ball, the equivalent of a baseball player homering once every four at-bats for an entire season.
Frequently, Pryor didn't play in the second half: Jeannette won all but four of its games by 36 points or more and set a new state record by scoring 860 points. The Jayhawks averaged nearly 54 points per game, so nearly all of their games were played with the mercy rule in effect during the second half.
Pryor wasn't the only Jayhawk on the all-state team. Teammates Jordan Hall, Mike Matt and Jason Marquis joined their quarterback on the first team, while Martel Walker made the second team.
That's not all: Reitz, who kept a team that featured what might be the nation's most recruited high school player grounded and focused throughout the long season, is the AA Coach of the Year.
Hall was chosen as a first-team offensive specialist and Marquis made it as an offensive lineman. Matt and Walker were chosen off a defense that yielded only 152 points and made certain that none of Jeannette's games were decided by a margin closer than 20 points.
Dunmore, the PIAA runner-up, had two players on the first team in offensive lineman Jim Sabia and defensive back Pat Hart.
Pryor was one of the most-watched players in state history. He ended his career with 4,238 yards rushing and 4,340 yards passing and accounted for 125 touchdowns.
"He's a once-in-a-lifetime kid," said Beaver Falls coach Ryan Matsook, whose team was defeated by Pryor and Jeannette 61-12 in the District 7 (WPIAL) championship game. "We'll be happy not to face him next year."
Also considered one of the nation's top high school basketball talents, Pryor is now rated as the No. 1 football prospect by several major scouting services. His hardwood qualities, though, are still evident on the football field.
"When we get into our spread offense, he's like a point guard. He makes things happen, and he's very unselfish," Reitz said. "His will to win is probably the biggest thing that sets him apart."
Pryor still hasn't selected a college. He is considering Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Florida and Oregon, with Michigan replacing West Virginia on his list after coach Rich Rodriguez shifted schools.
The rest of the AA first team is highlighted by productive backs. All three first-team running backs — Schuylkill Haven's Zach Barket, Mars' Bill Bair and Wilmington's Chris Burns — ran for at least 2,227 yards. Specialists Hall and Jim Klebon of Riverside (District 2) combined for 71 touchdowns.
Burns, who might have been the player of the year in any non-Pryor season, is headed to Pitt, where he'll be joined by first-team wide receiver Jonathan Baldwin of Aliquippa. Baldwin is 6-6 but runs the 40-yard dash in less than 4.4 seconds.
Some of the defensive stars excelled in carrying the ball, too.
Defensive back Jake Wickline of Riverside (District 7) ran for more than 1,700 yards and scored 30 touchdowns. Defensive specialist Mike Kale of Delone Catholic was a 1,600-yard rusher and kicker Eric Divell of Harbor Creek ran for more than 1,500 yards and was the District 10 Region 4 Player of the Year.
The first-team defense is headed up by Matt, Lakeland defensive end Justin Virbitsky, West Catholic linebacker Pre'Andre Watson and Philipsburg-Osceola defensive back J.D. Mason.
Watson led West Catholic to the Philadelphia Blue Division championship. Mason, a returnee to the first team, had 25 interceptions in his career.

Justifiable homicides rise
The story in USA Today by Kevin Johnson.

Nothing wrong with a little justifiable homicide. Maybe the bad guys should have chosen a different line of work.
Well done, armed citizens!
Well done, coppers!

Nothing wrong with a little justifiable homicide. - I mean, it's better than the alternative.

"Clearly there is a message out there that citizens may be able to defend themselves" as well, he says."
Well, yeah. That shouldn't be controversial. The police are the second line of defense. YOU are the first line of defense. I don't think the police are even close to reaching their potential due to current constraints (mostly the drug war), but even in an ideal scenario, officers will usually arrive after the fact and involve themselves mostly in investigating the offense, not stopping it.
But here's a caveat. If the rise in justifiable homicides was accompanied by a substantial drop in murders (and other violent offenses), I might feel better about this. One might infer from that scenario that criminals have learned that people will fight back so maybe it's not worth it. I don't think that is the case yet, so my reaction is a bit less festive than that of djk.

Tsukuba Honors Graduate Program
Participating PhD students come to MINATEC in late August for a four- to six-month stay. Once settled in—with the help of Grenoble Institute of Technology's International Relations Department—the students take university courses and perform research at MINATEC labs. They also attend talks at the prestigious European School On Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies, led by Dr. Hervé Courtois from Institut Néel.
Under the program agreement, students take two to three courses in the Functionalized Advanced Materials and Engineering (FAME) Erasmus Mundus Master's program at Phelma engineering school, which is coordinated by Dr. Eirini Sarigiannidou. The courses are given entirely in English; students passing the courses' final exam receive credits for these courses at their home school, University of Tsukuba. Japanese PhD students participating in the program also complete a research project at one of the campus' labs. Institut Néel, IMEP, and CEA-Leti hosted the research part of the program in 2012.
The Tsukuba Honors Graduate Program gives PhD students an opportunity to become experts in nanoelectronics and hone their international research skills, in association with businesses and universities from around the world. It is part of the University-Industry Collaboration introduced by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 2010 and headed by Professor Kouichi Murakami at the University of Tsukuba.
The University of Tsukuba is a founding member of the Tsukuba Innovation Arena for Nanotechnology (TIA-nano); other members include Japan's National Institute for Materials Science and National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology.
