So here we are, at the end of the 2011 Michigan season, and I'm a little annoyed. Grantland's Michael Weinreb** has taken to calling Michigan's victory in the Sugar Bowl emblematic of the Big Ten's "faux success" and referring to this season as "one of the emptiest 11-win seasons in college football history." I mean, I was annoyed and then I remembered Weinreb is a Penn State alumnus and has probably spent most of the last few months staring into what the future looks like and it's only the abyss staring back at him. Fine, Michigan's Sugar Bowl victory is largely because Virginia Tech handed the game to them. But hey, Michigan was in a position to take what was given to them and they took it. Fine, Michigan's Sugar Bowl victory is part of the Big Ten's "faux success" except for that pesky "Hey, with Michigan going to a BCS game, everyone else slotted one game up (coupled with the toxicity of Penn State, who didn't exactly look like they were thrilled to be at the TicketCity...oh look, Case Keenum just threw another TD pass.) and played three de facto road games (pointed out by David Thorsley, @TAMU in Houston, @Florida in Jacksonville, and @Houston at Dallas.) So whatever, in the end the fact that a national writer took the time to take a swipe at Michigan's win actually made me happy, for the simple reason that you don't take that kind of swipe at a team unless they're back near the top of the heap.
Credit again to David for getting so much of what I wanted to say into his post-game column yesterday but the notion of "deserving victory" has struck me. How do we define the notion of "deserving victory"? How do we even know if we deserve anything? Deserving is built upon our notions of merit, fair play, and justice. Deserve, itself, comes from the Latin for "devoting one's self to service". Which means that deserve is subjective, There's no way we can say that Michigan "deserved" to win anymore than we can say Virginia Tech did not "deserve" to win because its in the eye of the beholder. How do we know? Do we question the effort in practice, in the weight room, in watching film? We don't. We cling to the notion of deserve because we desire a world that is just, that is fair, that makes sense. We have been painfully reminded in 2011 that college football is best when it does not intersect real life, but rather exists in an ethereal plain above real life, and it is because it exists as a pseudo-fantasy realm adjacent to the real world, we also peg our desires for that which is too rarely seen in the real world, justice, fairness, meritocracy, on the outcomes of these games. We also know these things do not exist in the world of college football any more than they do in our own life.
One of the best lessons I ever received about being a college football fan came from my friend Mike nearly a decade ago when he said, very simply to me "You have to remember that the other team is trying to win the game too." It's obvious now, in retrospect, but it completely altered my vision of Michigan football, from parochial orthodoxy to seeing Michigan in the context of the larger college football landscape. Virginia Tech was trying to win the Sugar Bowl just as much as Michigan was. Mistakes were made, regrets will be had. In the end Michigan will go down as having won a 23-20 overtime game that was by no means a classic, but still a part of the tapestry of that game's history.
Did Team 132 deserve victory? I'm not sure, and I can never be sure. But I can be sure that their courage, their cheerfulness, and their resolution brought them victory. Courage in David Molk and Ryan Van Bergen and Taylor Lewan playing through significant injuries. Their cheerfulness in Brendan Gibbons' now pantheon "Brunette girls" answer. Their resolution in what they demonstrated throughout this whole season. This is not one of the all-time great Michigan teams. It's not the 1997 team, it's not the 1901 team, it's not the 1969 team. But it's the 2011 team and people are going to look back on it and smile, because they will remember the 11 wins, the magic under the lights, the release of getting the Buckeye monkey off their backs, and the improbability of that Sugar Bowl victory. If you make the case that any season that doesn't end in a national championship is a essentially empty, well, I feel for you, because your standards are so high, you can't enjoy the ride. The joy of college football comes when players who pass through your life briefly, but live for a long time in your memory get to celebrate a victory, one a long time coming.
Thank you Team 132. Team 133, the future starts now.
*--For no good reason, I had to include this one I found in looking for the two above. All I know is that this guy is really annoyed with Canada.
**-Weinreb also, hilariously, in his closing paragraph, attacks the fact that Michigan didn't even win its own division (an argument rendered moot by the fact that neither did another team playing in a BCS bowl in the Superdome and the stakes are a little higher for them) and that the success will be short-lived for the next decade with the arrival of Urban Meyer at Ohio State (I understand Meyer's resume and I do not scoff at it, but the notion that Michigan is going to be steamrolled by Ohio State simply because Urban Meyer is their coach. You'll forgive me if I don't believe it until I see it.)

Samsung Loses Top U.S. Mobile Phone Vendor Title to Apple
Apple has scored a hard-won victory in its battle with Samsung for global dominance of the smartphone market — though it may be short-lived.
Research outfit Strategy Analytics said Friday that, according to its measurements, Apple ousted Samsung to become the largest mobile phone vendor in the U.S. during the last quarter of 2012. Apple shipped 17.7 million phones in the fourth quarter of 2012, enough to capture 34 percent of the U.S. mobile phone market and, for the first time ever, to surpass Samsung, which shipped 16.8 million phones — both smart and feature phones — for a 32 percent share.
Driving the surge that pushed Apple past Samsung in market share: The company's iOS ecosystem and the iPhone 5, which helped it rack up iPhone sales of nearly 50 million in the fourth quarter.
So, a milestone victory for Apple against an archrival on its home turf. But, as I mentioned earlier, it may prove to be a short-lived one. Samsung, which has been the top U.S. phone vendor since 2008, sold more phones than Apple did for all of 2012, shipping 53 million to Apple's 43.7 million. And, unlike Apple, the company did not debut a new hero phone in the fall. Once it launches the rumored Galaxy S4, it could reclaim its lost title.

CRESTVIEW � A local service member�s overseas airbase spent the holidays much like residents in town, with a Christmas feast, toys and entertainment.
CRESTVIEW � A local service member�s overseas airbase spent the holidays much like residents in town, with a Christmas feast, toys and entertainment.
For Manas Air Base in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia, the 376th Air Expeditionary Wing�s uniformed men and women broke bread with comrades, collected toys for Kyrgyzstan children in orphanages and schools, and listened to Nashville-based rock band Hip Kitty during a two-day performance for deployed troops, among other activities.
Chief Master Sgt. Leonard Thibodeaux, of Crestview, welcomed 2013 at the Manas Transit Center in the Kyrgyz Republic of Central Asia. Base members transport military personnel and supplies to and from Afghanistan.
The transit center, which functions like a small town, includes a mayor who ensures �all service members transiting through are safe and comfortable,� the group�s website, manas.afcent.af.mil, states.
Leonard, as deputy mayor, regularly monitors safety conditions and helps ensure comrades� quality of life.
"The conditions have been a concern for us," he said. "We have had to deal with frozen water pipes and down power lines. We have had several nights when the temperature was below freezing. These conditions can make transporting personnel difficult.�
He also promotes morale.
"There are several here that are spending time away from families for the first time," said Leonard, who helps prevent comrades� homesickness or helps them cope with it.
"We are a family and we always take care of each other," he said.
Missing home
"Being a military wife is a very challenging role," Leonard�s wife, Shelia, 47, said. "If our relationship isn't the way that it is, it wouldn't have lasted this long.�
Sheila, a Hurlburt Field civilian who served four years in the Air Force, met Leonard at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado.
Her husband � who has toured Afghanistan and Germany in his 29-year military career � has missed wedding anniversaries, birthdays and high school and college graduations.
Holiday absences particularly are tough.
"It never gets any easier," Leonard said. "This (was) my fourth Christmas away from them."
However, distance does little to keep the couple apart. Leonard and Sheila communicate daily through Skype, a web-based video call service.
Family and friends also help. For instance, service members from nearby families taught both their children how to drive since their dad was unavailable.
"The military is such an awesome support system," Shelia said.
One way or another, they make it work, the couple said.
After service
Leonard plans to retire from the Air Force in January of 2014 and the couple plans to stay in Crestview.
"Crestview is where I lay my hat," Leonard said. "I plan to spend the rest of my life there."
The couple�s eldest son, also named Leonard, 24, recently joined the Air Force and works at Hurlburt Field. His brother, Billy Thibodeaux, 23, works for the county clerk�s office.
Shelia looks forward to her and her husband spending more time with their grandson, Wyatt, whom Leonard and his wife welcomed in August.
"We have a lot of catching up to do," Shelia said. "We�re going to have to get used to being around each other again."
That shouldn't be a problem.
After all, "God made him for me and vice versa," Shelia said.

The Giro d'Italia organiser presented its 2012 route on Sunday at the Studio 2000 in Milan, where it will finish May 27. The route, starting in Denmark on May 5, holds its punches and recoils after this year's folly.
"It's not easy to do our work, every year to please everyone: the riders, the sponsors, the teams…" race director, Michele Acquarone said. "I hope you like this course."
>> Struggling to get to the shops try 6 issues of Cycling Weekly magazine for just £6 delivered to your door <<
The three-week course will be more human, with fewer transfers and more of a northern feel. With three stages in Denmark and a flight to Verona, there is little time to dip down to the land of mozzerla and mafia before the final mountainous showdown in the Alps.
Angelo Zomegnan took the race down to Sicily last year to celebrate 150 years since Italy's unification. It required many long drives between stages and, for the caravan, a 10-hour drive to Termoli. The riders flew, but the feeling remained: the Giro had gone overboard.
Organiser RCS Sport replaced Zomegnan with Acquarone, who is only the fifth Giro director in 100 years. Acquarone favoured Mark Cavendish and other sprinters with more sprint finishes and penalised time trialists (only 72.4 kilometres in three stages).
"The Giro is a tough race – it has to be, it's in our DNA," Acquarone told Cycling Weekly, "but we will have be balanced, which means after a tough stage riders will be able to recover with an easier stage."
The icing on his cake, as the Italians prefer their Giro, is in the final week. The race returns to the mythical climbs – Stelvio, Mortirolo and Pampeago – and hits some unknown spots – Cervinia and Cortina.
The Giro held its punches on the penultimate day to the Stelvio Pass. The organiser wanted to break the Grand Tour record books, climbing an unpaved road above the pass to reach 2832 metres, but instead stuck to the traditional 2,758-metre mark, where it last passed in 2005.
A 31.5-kilometre time trial in Milan closes the Giro. The race will likely see fewer favourites in Milan on May 27 than at the studio today. It benefited from presenting the race the day after the Giro di Lombardia, but, as usual, suffers due to its calendar spot between the classics and the Tour de France.
"Having seen the 2012, I can say I'd love to race it," said this year's winner, Alberto Contador. "It's not as tough as the 2011 route, but you can't say it lacks mountains or mountaintop finishes. With the time trials, it's balanced."
Contador attended the race presentation, but he, the Schleck brothers, Michele Scarponi, Vincenzo Nibali and Jurgen Van den Broeck will skip the race. Cadel Evans, Chris Froome and Vuelta a España winner, Juan José Cobo have written their names in pencil. Who's left? Two-time winner Ivan Basso, Damiano Cunego, Janez Brajkovic, Jakob Fuglsang and Sky's Rigoberto Urán.

No liability of any kind is accepted for any oral representation of any kind by the supplier or its personnel. 5.8 In the case of Goods being exchanged during a warranty period, the Supplier reserves the right to supply refurbished equivalent Goods, which can be the same age and/or condition of the Goods being replaced. In this instance, the warranty period will continue from the date of purchase of the original item, as shown on the invoice. 5.9 Goods out of warranty are subject to the Suppliers normal charges for repair (or those of their nominated sub-contractors). 5.10 Warranty only covers electrical and mechanical parts and not consumables such as gaskets, seals, bulbs, gas, or other common wear and tear items. 5.11 Gas appliances installed in mobile catering units are subject to a 12 months parts only warranty.

All installation costs are invoiced separately either by the Supplier (if agreed to by the Supplier) or by the Suppliers sub-contractor (if negotiated between the Customer and such subcontractor).

A few months ago, my father texted me and told me that there was a particular company that wanted to hire me. I was perplexed because I already have a
job career that I really love. I thought maybe he had spoken to someone at the company and maybe there was some real interest in ME for whatever reason, so I asked him why they wanted me. His answer was flattering, but came directly from the job posting. He told me,
They're looking for the "greatest mind in technology", and that's you.
I was intrigued, so I checked out the posting online. The job was an IT position for a growing local company. I love their products and I know others that work for them. The job would allow me the flexibility to work partially from home and to work with a great group of people who truly love what they do. "Maybe it's really time for a change." I thought to myself. After all, the stress of being an educator in the current political climate of Michigan has been overwhelming. More than once in the past couple years I've discussed with Mr. Hippie, a colleague, or just a friend the possibility of doing something less stressful, less heartbreaking and probably more lucrative.
I continued through the job posting. As in most job postings, there were many skills that candidates should have. I looked through the list and was surprised that most were things I had experience in. Unfortunately, there were several that I didn't and couldn't fake my way through even if I tried. So, I gave up the idea of a career change.
But I didn't. The idea has lingered with me ever since. I've talked to the friends that work at the company about the job. It's since been filled, but could become available again. Even if it doesn't, similar jobs are available all the time in other great companies. So, I researched the skills that were missing from my resume. They would take some time to learn, but it wouldn't be impossible. So, I started teaching myself code. Simple code, but code nonetheless. I started at Khan Academy and in the process got addicted to their "World of Math". I stayed up most of Thanksgiving night solving complex math problems I haven't seen since college and still stop and do math almost every day for a few minutes. It keeps my brain young, right?
But I digress. Code. Kids can learn it. I want to learn it. I need to learn it. Even if I don't take a technology job, it intrigues me and opens doors that for now, are closed. Khan is a start, but I'll need to know more.
And then.
My friend Liz posted this link to FaceBook: Harvard edx. I followed it. I signed up. And now, I'm really going to learn code.

On the most recent episode of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Larry David confidently declares there are only two ways to end up in neck brace. One is a car accident. The other – well, let's just say the description involves the kind of language you might not ordinarily hear on TV Land.
But with "Curb" heading into the final two episodes of this often-hilarious, and possibly final seventh season, it was announced this week that repeats of the ribald show are bound for syndication, first on the TV Guide Network, then TV Land.
The move could gain the show the wider audience it deserves. But editing "Curb" for basic cable runs the risk of watering down a program based around a man who sees the glass as half empty – and expresses his pessimism in frank, often-profane terms.
It's hard to imagine "Curb" without the foul-mouthed rants of Susie Essman's Susie Greene character, who pelts Larry with every imaginable variation of a popular four-letter vulgarity; without Larry's graphic conversations with his permanent houseguest Leon; without children calling Larry a "bald a------."
Pity the editor forced to cut whole scenes or insert so many bleeps, the show will sound like a half-hour traffic jam (broadcasts of beeping sounds, as we know from the early "AAMCO" episode of "Curb," can cause one kind of accident that leads to neck injuries).
In the wrong hands, to paraphrase Larry, the results could turn out pret-ty, pret-ty, pret-ty bad.
Take HBO's "The Sopranos," which just isn't the same on AMC without the powerful, raw language that helps define the often-fearsome characters. There's nothing frightening about Larry, though the viewer sometimes gets a little scared for him as he verbally digs himself into ditches.
"Curb," of course, is the bastard (to use a bleepable word) offspring of "Seinfeld," the show David co-created. This season's storyline, centering on a fictional "Seinfeld" reunion, has brought into clearer relief the similarities and differences between the shows.
The routine where Jerry Seinfeld and Larry argue about who should schooch over to let Richard Lewis into a diner booth could have been a scene out of Monk's with Jerry, George and Kramer.
"Seinfeld," one of broadcast television's last huge hits, had fun with euphemisms – Are you the master of your domain? Is he Sponge-worthy? R-rated Larry, meanwhile, uses his HBO freedom to say exactly what's on his mind, and usually acts on it, to cringe-worthy effect.
The "Seinfeld" stars, so far, have been bit players amid Larry's shenanigans this season, which have included mistreatment of women in wheelchairs, refusing a piece of pie from Ted Danson and inadvertently splashing a painting of Jesus with his urine (it's a long story). This is very much Larry's world, and he doesn't much like it.
Larry David's humor doesn't rest on bad language and coarse plot points alone. Like Richard Pryor and George Carlin, the primary potency of his comedy derives from unflinching honesty and a less-than-sanguine view of the human condition. But telling what he sees as the truth sometimes demands blunt, crude terms.
"South Park" gets away with a lot at night on Comedy Central. But unless TV Land is planning big changes, it's hard to imagine "Curb" running unexpurgated between repeats of "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Bonanza," or even amid the network's reality shows.
Not everyone has HBO, or can buy the show's past seasons on DVD. So here's some advice those who have yet to catch "Curb": Try Netflix or go watch with a friend who has HBO, because to miss "Curb Your Enthusiasm" in the form it was meant to be seen would be a @?#*% shame.

Advice for new skates for intermediate fitness skater
Hello All,
I'm a 32-year-old male trying to get back in to trail and fitness skating after a summer off due to the birth of my first child.
I've skated for about twenty years and fitness skated for about five. I currently have a pair of Rollerblade Igniter 100s that I think are about the most comfortable skate I've worn, but are way, way worn out after five years and about 1,500 miles.
I'd get another pair, but I have two complaints about the Igniter 100s. First, they use 3x 100mm wheels and 1x 90mm wheel, which makes buying new wheels a pain (ideally I'd like a 4x100mm skate). Second, they do sometimes feel a bit heavy and hot, but again with the comfort they provide, maybe that's a necessary trade-off.
I skate about 300 miles per season here in Minnesota. I skate almost exclusively on outdoor trails with various impediments to get over (twigs, rocks, patches of really rough road crossings, dirt/debris on the trail) and do like to skate a race or two a year, but only for fun. I normally pace myself at about 14 MPH. I also have a slightly larger frame at 6' and about 205 lbs.
Oh, the other thing that bothers me about the Igniter skates, but is possibly something that could be remedied - if I tighten the axles too snugly, they seem to squeeze the bottom frame which then makes the bearings of the wheels rub on the frame. Only a quarter turn looser on the axles, though, makes them too loose and prone to come out while skating (yes this has happened). Maybe it's just because they're worn out that they're doing this, but I'm a bit fed up with them at the moment.
Last thought - the Igniter 100 is a higher boot. I could be talked in to going with a slightly lower boot, but wouldn't want to go down to an ankle-height sort of skate since I'm not in shape to do that and likely won't get there (and need the support).
I appreciate any opinions anyone may have!

Hi, you sound really ready to step on some speed boots but if not sure, a fitness/marathon style boot will be no problem. The speed boots look challenging at first but after some adjusting, the freedom of lower cuffs will be more appreciated than the support of the high boots trust me.
A skate the likes of a powerslide R4 or Seba Marathon boot are good a good option and don't be afraid to equip 110mm wheels, at 6' you have the frame for larger wheels and they will surely help overcome small obstacles easier.

I've done a few marathons (at about 1:40 pace) and don't suspect I'm going to get much faster with the amount I'm able to train, but it's always nice to move a little bit forward with training and see some progress. Maybe a shorter boot would open up my stride a bit (and force me to train those leg muscles more).
Thanks again!

If you want to stick with the rollerblade brand, the tempests are nice boots. Have you considered going up to 110mm wheels?

*Rb 10s with MPC VT XFirm or Powerslide Green Fothon wheels/ILQ9 bearings

Sure enough, they were very uncomfortable and I did send them back. The funny thing is, my hazy new-dad head can't remember what I didn't like about them - but something hurt me to the point that I said, "these aren't going to work." I know that's unhelpful, sorry.
Your comment, though, did remind me that I still have my set of MPC Black Magic 110mm wheels with about 5 miles on them. You're right, I should move to 110s so that I can use those.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – The Lipscomb track and field squad closed out the Atlantic Sun Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships on a high note on Saturday with junior Dani Walker winning the MVP of the meet for the women, the first such award for Lipscomb.
Both squads finished fifth overall as the women accumulated 101 points, an all-time high, while the men accumulated 59.5 points. Jacksonville took the gold for the women with a total score of 173 points while Kennesaw State earned top-honors with 228.5 points on the men's side.
Walker's great meet started on Friday by winning the 3000m in record fashion and carried the momentum into Saturday winning two more events, both in school-record times. She won the mile run in 4:43.89, almost 10 seconds in front of second place Joane Pierre of Jacksonville. Proving she can also run the long distance events just as well, Walker won the 5000 meter run by nearly 23 seconds. A time of 16:59.00 gave Walker the Gold. Her 31.5 individual points was more than any competitor at the meet.
"Dani is at a whole different level," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "She had the best meet for a women's distance runner in A-Sun Indoor Championship history.
"She won the 3000m in meet record time, the mile with the second-fastest time in A-Sun history and the 5000m with the third fastest time in A-Sun history. Thirty minutes after the 5000m, she anchors our 4X400 with a 56.3 split and leans at the line, coming from behind into a fourth place finish."
The Lady Bisons finished strong in the 5000 with Tessa Hoefle, Madelin Talbert and Maggie Lawrence finished third, fourth and fifth, respectively. Talbert also finished third in the mile run in a time of 5:01.50 for all-conference honors.
"Our women's distance runners really stepped up as a whole," Taylor said. "We are rapidly moving to that elite team level. Tessa picked up two all-conference honors. Madi and Katie Bunker each got one."
Katie Bunker earned all-conference in the 800 meter run as she finished in a time of 2:14.96 for the bronze medal.
Tucker Peabody defended his 200m dash title in a time of 21.27 seconds. Peabody who has dominated the event this season finished more than two-tenths of a second faster than Sadio Diallo of Kennesaw State.
"Tucker ran another fantastic 200," Taylor said. "A very exciting defense of his 200 title."
Gemikal Prude broke the school record in the high jump with a leap of 2.10 meters. His jump, earning the silver medal, broke a record that he co-held with a mark that dated back to 1977.
Brenna Thompson finished just off the medal stand as she finished fourth in the 400. Her time of 57.30 was just three-hundredths of a second out of third place.
The women's 4X4 relay squad also finished just off the medal stand as the team consisting of Thompson, Sara Stephens, Bunker and Walker finished in a time of 3:54.87.
April Terry upped her school record in the weight throw with a toss of 16.09 meters. She finished sixth in a stout field of throwers.
Andrew Wolf ran a school-record 8.78 seconds in the 60 meter hurdles as he finished seventh.
"It was a great meet for us," Taylor said. "It is a great setup for the outdoor season."

I'm not sure what region to classify this vehicle as. If Karin is the equivalent of Toyota, then it's a Japanese company. In the U.S. Toyota do manufacture Corollas exclusively for the North American market. At the moment I have it classified as American, but I think it should be Japanese, seeing as the Corolla originates from the JDM. JBanton (Talk | Contribs)
It's also based on a Third generation Lexus 430(front) and Forth generation Lexus Ls 460/600h(rear).
Lexus is also a japanese car manufacturer. Now I know that the in-game parody brand of lexus is Emperor (manufacturer), but the car also looks more like a Lexus and less like a Toyota.
- I don't really see it. The car's overall appearance looks pretty "cheap" and Lexus cars are executive or luxury. The fact that model is from Karin, as opposed to Emporer indicates that it's primary inspiration must have come from Toyota or Subaru and unsurprisingly there are almost identical design matches from either. Plus Subaru and Toyota manufacture relatively cheap cars, like Karin. JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 20:20, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
- sigh* take the Sultan and Sultan RS for example , both made by Karin and based on a Lexus model (Lexus IS) Not enought of an example ??
And the Lexus Ls is also sold as Toyota Celsior. * facepalm*
No need for that language kid, Jonny knows best here and that's that.. Instulent (talk) 12:15, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
Noone asked you anything, you retard so you'd better stop praising him ,shut up and go play your stupid saints row.
- Easy bro, here's how I arrived at this conclusion. If you take close look at afew factors, you can see how I arrived at the conclusion of Toyota basis.
- Analysis of the design (including the theme and intent)
- Manufacturer relation between the game world and the real world.
- Production and marketing context
- For the design of the car, looking at the front the grille of this Aurion added to the front bumper of this Aurion would create a near identical front end because they have;
- Multiple horizontal chrome strip grille
- Central bumper duct a similar shape to main grille, but wider and less tall
- Small side ducts that contain a circular fog lamp
- The headlights are off though
- At the sides, the Camry features the trim above the wheelbase and some models feature the similar seven spoke wheels Also the Camry/ Aurion have rear-side windows without a Hofmeisterkink, like the in-game model. The Lexus models have the kink.
- For the rear, the C-pillar, third box area and the continuation of the line that runs just below the side windows are a dead giveaway. But to add to that the Camry also features similar shaped rear lights and license plate area. Lexus GS is similar, but not closer.
- For the manufacturer relation, we've already run through this so I'll head for production and marketing context.
- The Camry/ Aurion were produced as a "mid-sized car" as opposed to Lexus with "executive" (GS) and "full-sized luxury" (LS) cars. The Camry and Aurion were produced with target market being families, so they were created in mass numbers to be sold at an affordable price (which also means that the car has production and marketing attributes of a tuner). When looking at the car in-game, it appears to be a car designed with the intention of being an affordable family car.
- When putting together all of these factors it's hard for me to see how the car could be based on a Lexus LS or GS in favour of a Toyota Aurion/ Camry). JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 12:56, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
Name ConfirmedThe name of the car is confirmed as the Karin Asterope. source official GTA V brady games strategy guide (see picture). Andrew nicholson (talk) 15:29, September 12, 2013 (UTC)
Guys! Check out the second picture of the first row of cars on the left page! I think that is a Romero! Yall should check that out! Smashbro8 (talk) 15:41, September 12, 2013 (UTC)Smashbro8
Drive Type
Weirdly, the badge on the back says "FWD" which would imply its front wheel drive, but holding both the throttle and the brake spins up the rear wheels (granted all wheel drive cars do it on GTA too) but it is strange nontheless. Maybe it was intended to be AWD or RWD and then changed at the last moment, but they forgot to remove the rear drive. It does seem to corner exceptionally well.
Why is this no longer editable?
MeLikeBigBoom (talk) 04:16, October 1, 2013 (UTC)
It's the new Kuruma
Remember that fast and reliable sedan in GTA III and LCS? the Asterope is a perfect replacement of that car... -Herdjati
Special Variant
I just played the PC version of Cleaning the Bureau and I didn't see a car similar to the description of the special variant. In fact, there wasn't even an Asterope that came out of the garage. I've played the PS3 mission, and I also don't recall seeing it. SierraX (talk) 03:45, July 28, 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, I don't recall seeing it on PS3, PS4 or PC but wasn't looking for it either. That's why I added the ? when I added the images needed template. Was thinking of adding a {{fact}} template as well. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 03:59, July 28, 2015 (UTC)

WASHINGTON (STORYFUL) -- A family of ducks were about the only ones enjoying the rainy weather in Washington, D.C. on May 13th.
Chris Militzer shared footage on Twitter of the ducks strolling across the street in the rain, causing a slight traffic jam, while many looked on at the cute sight.
"You know it's a rainy day in D.C. when this is your #traffic jam at 14th and L," Militzer tweeted.
The ducks didn't stop there, and were later spotted entering the White House grounds.
At the time of writing, the footage had over 150 retweets and over 1,000 likes on Twitter.

Reggie Miller was warned off married chicks—well, one married chick—and the man responsible knows of what he speaks. Sure, his girlfriend isn't actually his wife, but when she first pursued him, he was married to someone else.
If only someone had given a similar warning to Ali Kay, then Alex von Furstenburg might still be married to an heiress. (Fortunately, he still has his own family money to fall back on.) Alas, he's now engaged to Kay, the 25-year-old beauty who caught the eye of the formers Pacers legend. And that's probably why Miller's lawyer is suggesting that Reggie is not the one to blame for this flirtation.
Fiancée Ali Kay sent two provocative photos of herself to the NBA announcer during a three-month phone flirtation, the former hoop star's lawyer Marty Singer insisted.
"There was one of her in bed and one with a bathing suit on," he said.
Noting that Kay is not married, Singer blasted: "This is a ridiculous and absurd story about a single girl who exchanged text messages with Reggie Miller."
Did you get all that? So basically everyone is being unfaithful all the time, but von Furstenburg is the only one "shocked" enough to hire airplanes announcing to the world that he is danger of being cuckolded. I don't know about you, but I think these kids just might make it.

In Mark 2, soon after calling Matthew to follow Him, Jesus ate a meal with "many publicans and sinners" in Matthew's house (verse 15). Matthew had been a tax collector (publican), and these were his friends and acquaintances who were now spending time with Jesus (cf. Luke 5:39). The scribes and the Pharisees complained, but Jesus' actions in spending time with sinnerstranscendedHis culture and actually shoulddefineChristian culture as we know it.
In Jesus' day, rabbis and other spiritual leaders were the highest members of Jewish society. Everyone looked up to the Pharisees. They were strict adherents to the Law and tradition, and they avoided those whom they deemed "sinners" because they had a "clean" image to maintain. Tax collectors, infamous for embezzlement and their cooperation with the hated Romans, definitely fell into the "sinner" category.
As Jesus' ministry grew, so did His popularity among the social outcasts of society. Now that Matthew was part of His inner circle, Jesus naturally had more contact with the pariahs in Matthew's circle. Spending time with the publicans and sinners was part of Jesus' mission: "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners" (Mark 2:17). If Jesus was to reach the lost, He must have some contact with them. He went to where the need was because "it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick." Praise the Lord, the Great Physician makes house calls.
Sitting at Matthew's dinner table, Jesus may have broken some societal taboos, but His presence there shows that He looked beyond culture to people's hearts. Whereas the Pharisees wrote people off simply because of their profession or their past, Jesus looked past all that and saw their need.
Jesus also transcended culture when He conversed with the Samaritan woman at the well—even His disciples were surprised by that one (John 4:27). Other telling incidents: Jesus forgives an immoral woman in Luke 7, He helps a Syro-Phoenician woman in Mark 7, He touches a leper in Luke 5, and He enters Zacchaeus's house in Luke 19.
Jesus came to save sinners (Luke 19:10). Tradition, cultural bans, and the frowns of a few do not matter when a soul's eternal destiny is on the line.
The fact that Jesus saw individuals, not just their labels, no doubt inspired them to know Him better. They recognized Jesus as a righteous man, a man of God—the miracles He performed bore witness to that—and they saw His compassion and sincerity.
Jesus didn't let social status or cultural norms dictate His relationships with people. As the Good Shepherd, He sought the lost sheep wherever they had strayed. When Matthew hosted the dinner party, Jesus gladly accepted the invitation. It was a wonderful opportunity to share the good news of the kingdom with those who most needed to hear (see Matthew 4:23). Yes, He would be criticized for His actions, but what prophet ever lived without criticism?
Jesus transcended cultural norms and was not above spending time with the outcasts of society. He spoke truth to sinners and loved them; He offered them hope, based on their repentance and faith in Himself (Mark 1:15).
Unlike the Pharisees, Jesus didn't require people to changebeforecoming to Him. He sought them out, met them where they were, and extended grace to them in their circumstances. Change would come to those who accepted Christ, but it would be from the inside out. Jesus knew better than anyone that the kindness of God leads sinners to repentance (Romans 2:4).
Jesus showed us that we shouldn't let cultural norms dictate whom we evangelize. The sick need a physician. Lost sheep need a shepherd. Are we praying the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into the field (Luke 10:2)? Are we willing to go ourselves?[1]

I was hoping to get round to doing this last week, but things exploded. Luckily, Peggy over at the Women in Science blog has written up a great post about Lin He and Beth Shapiro, two women scientists who received the $500,000, no-strings-attached grant this year:
Lin He's research involves a class of small ribonucleic acid, or RNA, that are not transcribed into protein like messenger RNA. Instead, these microRNAs or miRNAs bind to messenger RNA to regulate the amount of protein produced. This entirely new level of dosage regulation in mammals was not realized until 2000, even though miRNAs were first discovered in 1993.

Mount Morgan's Coronation Lamp was erected in Morgan Street in 1902 commemorating the coronation of King Edward VII, as well as the soldiers who served in the Boer War. It was the site of recruitment campaigns, political campaigns and union meetings for mine workers. Its role as a war memorial was continued after WWI. The lamp was relocated to ANZAC Park at the junction of West and Morgan Streets after WWII.
Return to the Bruce Highway and head into Rockhampton. Visit the Botanic Gardens where Queensland's most expensive war memorial is located and spend some time at the zoo. Enjoy refreshments in the café.

Face & Hand Appear On Glass Door! - Photo!
Posted 11 November 2017 - 07:52 PM
Submitted to GhostStudy.com for consideration
About this Photo
Shannon writes, The picture was sent to me by email from my 20 year old daughters iPhone. She is the one
who took the photo and her girlfriend and my mom (who doesn't really believe in the supernatural...until now
probably) all saw the image. And when they started to back away, it lifted off of the glass. The image that you
are seeing is looking in from the outside. The door is an entrance from the back of my mom's house. The only
things in the backyard are an old shed and a garage. I didn't crop the picture but if you like i can have my daughter
send you the one taken from her iPhone, if she still has it.
Jim's Comments

for sharing with us! If you missed it above, the family actually watched this creature push against the glass door before it pulled away!

On February 17, 1864, Confederate-built H.L. Hunley became the world's first successful combat submarine when it attacked and sank the 1240-short ton screw sloop USS Housatonic at the entrance to the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. H.L. Hunley surfaced briefly to signal a successful mission to comrades on shore with a blue magnesium light, after which it was never seen again. All eight of its crewmen were presumed lost and despite multiple search efforts, the submarine could not be relocated.
Over 136 years later, on 8 August, 2000, H.L. Hunley was raised from the sea floor using a specially-designed support frame, or truss. A multi-disciplinary team, under Project Director and Head of the NHHC Underwater Archaeology Branch, Dr. Robert Neyland, coordinated Hunley's recovery.
Post recovery, the 40-foot, 17,000 pound truss continued to support the sub in a custom built, 90,000-gallon conservation tank at Warren Lasch Conservation Center in Charleston, SC while it underwent archaeological investigation. During the careful, year long excavation of its interior, H.L. Hunley remained in the same tilted position in which it was found to ensure minimal disturbance of its contents. Conservation of the recovered artifacts is being conducted by professionals from the Warren Lasch Conservation Center and Clemson University. In 2011, after the interior of the hull had been completely excavated, Hunley was re-positioned so that it now sits upright and no longer requires the support of the truss, which will be removed tomorrow morning on 12 January, 2012.
Throughout its treatment, the submarine has been on display to the public, however, when the truss is removed, visitors finally will be able to have a fully-unobstructed view of the vessel in its conservation tank.
A 3-D animation of the recovery and rotation of H.L. Hunley may be viewed here: Hunley Submarine Rotation

I was inspired to write this blog post based on the recent discussion in the Mechanics of Enlightenment thread. It may be completely off the point but I know that others won't be backward in coming forward to point out the flaws and I am happy to learn where my thinking is mistaken.
"From the very beginning
all beings are Buddha.
Like water and ice,
without water no ice,
outside us no Buddhas."
-- Hakuin Ekaku
"We usually dont look. We overlook."
-- Alan Watts
In the parable of the raft (Alagaddupama Sutta, verses 13-15), the Buddha compares the dharma to a raft for transporting sentient beings from the near shore of samsara to the far shore of nirvana. Just as after crossing a river it would be foolish to continue to carry a raft, once nirvana is reached there is no more need for the dharma; all concepts around Buddhism and being Buddhist can be let go.
Shortly after the Buddha achieved awakening under the Bodhi tree, he was met by a man on the road who, in seeing there was something special about him, asked 'What are you?'. The Buddha did not identify himself as a man or by any other label corresponding to his rank, religion, clan, or ethnicity. He merely declared himself to be one thing awake.
So, what is wrong with having a raft to carry you across the river of delusion? Well, the mere idea we need a raft suggests that there is somewhere to go and something we need to do to get there. Rather than building a raft only to dismantle it later, Zen cuts through the falsehood that the near and far shore are different places and reveals that we are where we wanted to be all along. Given that this is the case, the obvious question arises of why we need to practice, and this is something that has greatly bothered many Zen practitioners, including Dogen himself. Also, if we are already Buddhas, as Hakuin says, why are we still beset by greed, anger and ignorance?
Zazen, in essence, is seeing where we already are. Most of the time our conceptual mind sees the world based on our cultural and biological conditioning rather than how things are and in zazen these are allowed to drop away leaving just what is with no notion of 'us and them', 'I and other', 'here and there' and so forth. Experience is accepted rather than pushed away releasing us from struggle.
In many cultures we are taught from an early age to strive for what we want and even that 'the devil finds work for idle hands' so the practice of 'non-doing' is not only strange but anathema to our way of being. No wonder, then, that so many students coming to zazen for the first time feel that something is missing. 'Just sitting' makes no sense as a practice and they want to know what the Zen raft is and how Zen describes the river we have to cross. Often, no amount of explanation can counter this and why would it? If the answer lies in experiencing things as they are, conceptual understanding is never going to work. Words may satisfy the intellect for a time, but further questions will undoubtedly arise.
At the end of the day, you can build your raft all you like and it is not going to help you. Put down your hammer for a while and sit, though, and you might just see where you are.
"So close you cant see it
So deep you cant fathom it
So simple you cant believe it
So good you cant accept it."
-- traditional teaching of Shangpa Buddhism

Designers van over de hele wereld zenden creatieve ontwerpen in voor Technovestor in logo ontwerpen - custom.
We're looking for assistance in designing a logo, website layout, application Dashboard and small flash entry for a new product. Our company, REBusinessPro.com is a real estate lead management software. We're currently using it for business and now would like to take it public as a business management product. We're paying $1300 total for the contest and an additional $300 for coding if you're good at it.
A Complete Business Management System for the Real Estate Professional
Accepted File Formats:
We're open to the design, color and layout. We'd like the webpage to have a high-tech look, creative feel, but easy to use. Because the software will be used by computer novices as well as the computer literate, we want to give the impression of high-tech and powerful, as a lot of features are, but yet not intimidating and easy to maneuver.
This contest is has several prizes for each category. The prizes can be won separately or one individual. Each will be judged separately, and we may buy 1 or 2 of the entries in each category, for another project. You can submit an entry for 1 or multiple categories.
Logo - $300
The logo should sophisticated but not over the board. Were open to the color scheme for now.
Website template - $400
Were looking for something high-tech, sort of futuristic, but not over the top. This is software that will be used in a business atmosphere, so it must be designed as such. This will be the page used to actually sell our product. Wed like a centered orientation while easy to navigate. Well be adding flash to it later, but thats not part of this project since were not sure which direction well be going in for that. Here are menu headings: Home, Products, Websites, Support, Contact Us [Shopping Cart]
Operational Dashboard and Operational Webpage- $700
This dashboard will be actually be used in our online software program in the login area. This will be the first page that comes up when the user logs in. On this page well include statistics and summary figures of their business. As weve mentioned before, were looking for a design thats high-tech and powerful, as a lot of features are, but yet not intimidating. We believe a way to accomplish this is through the use of icons with titles beneath them, and segregation of subjects through the use of color. Colorful pictures quite often give the appearance of something simple, yet very powerful. I dont want to limit the creativity, so Ill leave it at that. Ive attached a couple of examples of both so you understand what were talking about.
Here is a little more info on the Operational Dashboard. Hopefully its not overkill.
Below are some of the icons and buttons we like for the Dashboard:
(Lead Management, House Inventory, Private Lender Management and Customer Support, with be sub-pages that will use the same Template well call Operational Webpage)
Lead Search (Quickbooks Invoices Icon)
Search by: Owner Name, Address, City, State, Zip Code, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Square footage
Lead Management (Buy Back Office) (Quickbooks-Customers Icon)
House Inventory (Sell Back Office) (Stacked houses Icon)
Private Lender Management (Borrow Back Office) (Quickbooks Customer Register Icon)
Customer Support (Quickbooks Customer Centre Icon)
Operational Dashboard
We like the overall look and feel of the link below as well as the segregation of Sub-groups for the Operational Dashboard:
Segregated Subgroup Names (Will replace IN, OUT and WHATS LEFT in the link above)
* Deal Info * Seller Situation * Current Loans and Liens
* Crunch the #s *Document Storage * Maps and Photos
