Is the final DLC for Batman: Arkham Origins a frozen delight or another Schwarzenegger?
Revenge is a dish best served cold, and Warner Bros. Games Montreal certainly stepped up to the plate with this final DLC for their take on Rocksteady's Arkham franchise. And whom better to dive into the 'Origins' of than Mr. Freeze, a Batman rogue who rose to fame after his appearance in the iconic animated series in the early 90s.
In fact, it's hard not to see the developers' love for 'BTAS' throughout this story DLC - the plot is loosely based on fan favourite episode 'Heart of Ice', in which The Dark Knight must rescue humanitarian Ferris Boyle from a chilly demise at the hands of one giant ice robot, but all is not as it seems. Even the opening title screen beautifully mimics the original series' title card, and there are multiple references through dialogue that are subtle nods to the infamous episode. Needless to say, knowledgeable Bat fans will definitely appreciate these Easter eggs.
The story itself is essentially a retelling of said episode, but has more twists and turns for gameplay value. We open with a fantastic sequence in Wayne Manor, where you fight your way through thugs that have invaded the mansion before travelling through a secret passage to don your cape and cowl. From then on it's a race to find Mr. Boyle before Freeze quite literally breaks the ice, and you'll bump into a few familiar faces along the way, including a hilarious cameo from Nolan North as the Penguin, who was sadly underutilised in the main campaign. Maurice LaMarche reprises his role from Arkham City as Freeze, and his voice work shines through as the highlight of the DLC. With such well written dialogue paying homage to the original animated classic, it's bizarre to be both intimidated by and sympathetic towards a character in such a way. Overall the story is a little underwhelming if you know the basics of Freeze's origins, especially considering how emotionally driven it's source material was, but has a few touching moments here and there to keep you interested.
Gameplay has also evolved thanks to the addition of the new XE suit; an Iron Man-esque fashion statement that allows you to kick criminal ass whilst in subzero temperatures, and use your Thermal Gloves to free frozen civilians, or just allow for interesting new takedowns. Whilst the suit has a great design, with its bulky shoulder pads and mouth-less cowl, the only new feature it gives us is a copy and paste of the Shock Gauntlets from the main game. Whilst this is only a slight disappointment, it's a shame to also see this new suit isn't available to use in the external challenge maps, nor are any of the new locations available as said maps outside of this DLC. It's a flaw that Arkham City's 'Harley Quinn's Revenge' also had, and one that will hopefully be fixed third time around for the upcoming Arkham Knight.
Unfortunately this isn't the only deja vu you'll notice in this DLC. In the free roam sections of the game (notably reduced down to just the South District of Gotham, giving you a much smaller environment to play with), you'll have the chance to take out some Anarky thugs in order to earn yourself some upgrades. Whilst this could have been an interesting side quest to tie in with the main narrative, it's evident some of these sections were taken directly from gameplay shown at Origin's E3 preview last year - which didn't make the final cut of the main game. Interesting really, when you think about how developers Warner Bros. Games Montreal stated they wouldn't be releasing any more patches for the infamously buggy Arkham Origins to focus on this DLC, yet they merely added unused elements into the latter. Sheer laziness, or severe pressure from Warner Bros? That's an answer to decide for yourself. Regardless, the Anarky missions are few in number and are basic combat encounters that are brain-numbingly simple to beat.
What is a challenge however is the several Silent Predator encounters you'll face. Multiple enemies, a whole lot of guns, hostages to boot - you'll need to think your way through these ones. The boss fight is, again, suspiciously similar to Arkham City's Mr. Freeze showdown, but incorporates these stealth elements to the point where you really have to be on your toes to avoid getting spotted. Combat remains the same, and offer less of a challenge if you're an experienced Arkham gamer. However the introduction of enemies with cryogenic equipment is a nice little addition that is a neat aesthetic touch, but can become tedious to avoid.
Another disappointment is the laggy graphics. There is a distinct difference between the CGI cutscenes and the ones rendered in-game, and the lip sync is frankly embarrassing. It's a shame really, as many of said computer rendered cinematics are stunning to look at, and a lot of the new locations such as Wayne Manor and Nora's containment unit are great setpieces to admire. You'll find yourself sitting through many black loading screens in order to transition into a dialogue driven encounter, and then grimace your way through dodgy lip movements. It's a problem I certainly never noticed in the main game itself, so it's a pity to see it show up here when several elements of this DLC seem lazily strung together as is.
At its core, A Cold, Cold Heart is a neat little extra to add to the Arkhamverse lore, but fails to add any original gameplay aspects that'll make you get your money's worth. Thankfully, its clear love for Batman: The Animated Series saves this DLC from freezing solid in the ice cold blizzard of unoriginality, and is sure to warm true Bat fans' hearts.
Score: 5/10

This is the first post is a series where I will post some ideas. These are ideas, not active projects (although these ideas could be implemented with many active projects).
My first idea is surrounding the concept of AutoLand. Mozilla has talked about this for a long time. In fact a conversation I had last week got me thinking more of the value of AutoLand vs blocking on various aspects of it. There are a handful of issues blocking us from a system where we push to try and if it goes well we magically land it on the tip of a tree. My vested interest comes in the part of "if it goes well".
The argument here has been that we have so many intermittent oranges and until we fix those we cannot determine if a job is green. A joke for many years has been that it would be easier to win the lottery than to get an all green run on tbpl. I have seen a lot of cases where people push to Try and land on Inbound to only be backed out by a test failure- a test failure that was seen on Try (for the record I personally have done this once). I am sure someone could write a book on human behavior, tooling, and analysis of why failures land on integration branches when we have try server.
My current thought is this-
* push to try server with a final patch, run a full set of tests and builds
* when all the jobs are done [1], we analyze the results of the jobs and look for 2 patterns
* pattern 1: for a given build, at most 1 job fails
* pattern 2: for a given job [2], at most 1 platform fails
* if pattern 1 + 2 pass, we put this patch in the queue for landing by the robots
[1] – we can determine the minimal amount of jobs or verify with more analysis (i.e. 1 mochitest can fail, 1 reftest can fail, 1 other can fail)
[2] – some jobs are run in different chunks. on opt 'dt' runs all browser-chrome/devtools jobs, but this is 'dt1', 'dt2', 'dt3' on debug builds
This simple approach would give us the confidence that we need to reliably land patches on integration branches and achieve the same if not better results than humans.
For the bonus we could optimize our machine usage by not building/running all jobs on the integration commit because we have a complete set done on try server.

Well looky here!
I saw this on the Huffington Post this morning and thought it was VERY interesting! Subway now holds the honor of being the world's largest restaurant chain, bypassing McDonald's.
According to the Wall Steet Journal, those friend's of Jared now have 33,749 locations while Ronald and them have just 32,737 locations.
Did you know Subway generated $15.2 billion in revenue last year…of which $10.5 billion was generated in the US? Wow…thats a lot of $5 footlongs!
Hopefully this means that people are leaning more towards healthy living. Kudos to them both!
Now I want a sandwich…*sigh*

Tricia Helfer makes her Ascension in November on CBC TV
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Tricia Helfer has come a long way from Donalda, Alta., pop. 259. After a modelling career walking the runway for such international designers as Givenchy, Dolce & Gabbana, John Galliano and Christian Dior, among others, she played Cylon Number Six for five years in the cult space opera Battlestar Galactica, from 2004-09.
She also acted in the short-lived Toronto-based drama The Firm and last year's chase thriller Killer Women, and now she's returning to her science-fiction origins in the new, Canadian-produced space opera Ascension, which will make its bow on CBC and the U.S. cable channel Syfy in November.
Ascension revolves around a covert U.S. government project in 1963, at the height of the Cold War, to send 600 people on a 100-year mission to populate a new world. The story picks up 50 years into their journey with an unexplained murder that causes the ship's inhabitants to question their original mission.
Ascension was created by Smallville writer and story editor Philip Levens and is being produced by Lionsgate's B.C.-based Sea To Sky Entertainment, in association with Los Angeles-based Blumhouse Productions, makers of the cult hit film Paranormal Activity. Ascension will be based in Montreal for the duration of its production.
Helfer confessed her life has been a whirlwind of late, in a private conversation with Postmedia News following a press session for Los Angeles-based media at the summer meeting of the Television Critics Association. Within the day, she would be winging her way back to Montreal, and Ascension's set.
"I lived Battlestar Galactica through filming it, which is a different experience from watching it," Helfer recalled quietly. "Seeing all the episodes later, intermingled with the memories of being on set, is a strange way to relive something. We really did become a family, and that doesn't happen all the time."
Vancouver was Helfer's home for six years. She lives in Los Angeles now, but divides her time between the U.S. and Canada.
Battlestar Galactica hit a popular nerve in sudden and unexpected ways. Its sprawling tale of terrorism, religious extremism and a desperate race for survival followed close in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks. The timing was coincidence, but something about it clicked.
"When you're making a show you never know what's going to hit and what isn't," Helfer said. "There are so many factors that go into it. You can only hope that what you're doing says something about what's going on in society at the time. The fact that it's still living on, that I'm being approached even now by people who are experiencing it for the first time, shows just what an effect it had. It doesn't feel like it was that far ago."
Helfer's early career focused on modelling. She hosted Canada's Next Top Model, and appeared in ad campaigns for Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Versace and Giorgio Armani, among others. The jump from supermodelling to science-fiction seems like a time warp, but Helfer doesn't see it that way. She resisted being typecast after Battlestar Galactica, despite being offered a steady stream of what she called "low-budget, low-quality stories."
It can be a mistake to take anything that comes, simply because of a need to keep working, Helfer said. "The fun part of being an actor is that you can play all sorts of different roles. It's infinite. So I made a conscious effort to go out there and take chances. I made a conscious decision to stay away from sci-fi for a while.
"It's about finding new things and growing as an actor, and also having different experiences. It's fun to change things up."
Ascension marks a return to her sci-fi origins. She's once again part of an ensemble cast, after playing the lead in Killer Women.
"It's not necessarily about screen time. It's about what you're doing when you're on screen."
Any qualms Helfer may have had about Ascension were settled when she read the script and discussed her character's direction with Levens and the program's other producers. It was the first time since Battlestar Galactica, Helfer said, that she had seen science-fiction written at that level of sophistication and quality.

Maine man sues grocery store chain over tainted beef
Old Orchard Beach man sickened by salmonella
An Old Orchard Beach man who became seriously ill after handling ground beef contaminated with salmonella is suing the supermarket chain where he bought the meat.
Kenneth Koehler filed suit against Hannaford Thursday in York County Superior Court in Alfred, according to his lawyer Neal Weinstein.
Koehler bought a three-pound package of 85 percent lean ground beef at the Hannaford in Saco on Nov. 20, 2011, Weinstein said. He took the meat home and turned about a pound of the beef into hamburger patties.
The very next day, Koehler fell ill, Weinstein said. Koehler was hospitalized and lost 15 pounds in two weeks, he said.
Even now, more than a year later, Koehler is still experiencing gastroenteritis and stomach pain, Weinstein said.
His lawsuit is seeking $8,000 to cover medical expenses as well as compensation for pain and suffering, Weinstein said.
Erik Blom, a spokesman for Hannaford, declined to comment. In November 2011, Hannaford recalled more than 29,000 pounds of ground beef produced at Cargill's plant in Pennsylvania.
Hannaford has 20 days to respond to Koehler's lawsuit, Weinstein said.

Tax Simplification Proposals Impacting Registered Investment Companies
Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Select Revenue Measures of the
Committee on Ways & Means of The U.S. House of Representatives
Statement of William M. Paul on Behalf of the Investment Company Institute
Washington, DC
June 15, 2010
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
My name is William M. Paul. I am a partner with the law firm of Covington and Burling LLP. I appear before you today on behalf of the Investment Company Institute ("ICI"), the national association of U.S. investment companies, including mutual funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), and unit investment trusts ("UITs"). Members of ICI manage total assets of $11.97 trillion and serve almost 90 million shareholders.
I appear today to discuss H.R. 4337, "The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2009" (the "Bill"). The Bill was introduced last December by Mr. Rangel along with three co-sponsors on this Committee. The ICI very much appreciates your leadership, Mr. Chairman, as a co-sponsor of the Bill, as well as that of Mr. Rangel, Mr. Crowley and Ms. Schwartz.
The Bill would modernize the tax rules for regulated investment companies ("RICs") to reflect numerous developments in recent years. The statutory provisions applicable to RICs have not been updated in any meaningful or comprehensive way since 1986, some 24 years ago. Indeed, some of the provisions in current law date back more than 60 years. The changes made by the Bill would benefit millions of mutual fund investors by improving the efficiency of mutual fund investment structures, reducing disproportionate tax consequences for inadvertent errors, and minimizing the need for amended tax statements and amended tax returns.
My testimony is divided into three parts. Part I provides some background on the existing statutory framework applicable to RICs. Part II summarizes various developments in recent years that necessitate changes to the relevant tax rules. Part III describes several illustrative provisions in the Bill.
I. Existing Statutory Framework Governing the Taxation of RICs and Their Shareholders
The special tax regime applicable to RICs and their shareholders is found in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The basic framework of Subchapter M originated in the Revenue Act of 1936 and developed into substantially its present form in 1942.
In order to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M, an investment company must satisfy a number of requirements. First, investment companies -- such as mutual funds, closed-end funds and ETFs -- can qualify under Subchapter M only if they are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As registered investment companies, these funds are subject to extensive regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Second, RICs must have at least 90 percent of their gross income from qualified sources, such as interest, dividends and gains on the sale of securities. Third, RICs must meet certain asset diversification tests. Finally, RICs must distribute at least 90 percent of their income to their shareholders on a current basis.
If RICs satisfy these requirements they are allowed a deduction for dividends paid to shareholders. RICs typically strive to distribute 100 percent of their income and gains to shareholders so that there will be no tax at the entity level. Qualifying RICs are also able to pass through certain tax attributes to their shareholders. For example, a RIC with net capital gain for the year can distribute capital gain dividends to its shareholders and shareholders report these distributions as long-term capital gains. Similar pass-through treatment applies to tax-exempt interest earned by a RIC as well as to credits for foreign taxes paid by a RIC on investments in foreign securities.
The distribution requirements of Subchapter M are tied to the RIC's taxable year, and most RICs have tax years other than the calendar year. In order to address potential deferral of income to RIC shareholders, most of whom are individuals, Congress adopted a separate and additional distribution requirement in 1986 that is tied to the calendar year. Under Code section 4982, a RIC is required to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its income and gains in the calendar year in which they are earned. Any shortfall in meeting this requirement is subject to a four percent excise tax at the RIC level. Unfortunately, the rules that attempt to coordinate Subchapter M with the calendar-year distribution requirements of section 4982 are incredibly complex, and, as the industry has learned by experience since 1986, deficient in various respects.
To round out the picture, I should note that RICs are corporations for federal income tax purposes, and thus they are also subject to the provisions of Subchapter C of the Code. Given the unique nature of RICs, however, a number of the rules in Subchapter C do not yield sensible results when applied to RICs and the rules have therefore been modified in some respects in their application to RICs.
II. Developments
In the past 20 or more years, numerous developments have placed stress on the current tax rules for RICs. In various respects, the rules do not work properly, unnecessarily restrict innovation, and are subject to increased uncertainty in their application. H.R. 4337 attempts to address as many of these situations as possible, but only to the extent that can be accomplished with minimal revenue impact.
One area that has seen significant evolution since the 1986 Act is the development of new investment structures in the fund industry. One prominent example is the "fund of funds" structure. This structure consists of a fund (sometimes referred to as the "upper-tier fund") that invests exclusively or primarily in a number of other mutual funds (referred to as "lower-tier funds") within the same complex. These structures were developed in response to the increasing desire on the part of investors for asset allocation services, particularly for retirement savings. One popular type of fund of funds, referred to as a target date fund, automatically rebalances the allocation of its investments in various lower-tier funds to adjust the risk profile of the investments as the investor approaches retirement age. Target date funds and other funds of funds currently hold total assets of roughly $750 billion.
A second example of the evolution in fund structures is the emergence of funds with multiple share classes. Unlike separate series of stock, which represent interests in different portfolios, these classes represent interests in the same portfolio, but typically have differences in expense allocations, voting rights and dividends. Dating to the mid-1980's, multiple-class funds have a flexible capital structure that permits the fund to make its shares available through multiple distribution channels and to provide different services to various types of shareholders that have differing needs for services. These multiple-class arrangements are much more efficient than the alternative of setting up "clone funds" with similar investment strategies but different distribution or shareholder-servicing arrangements.
Yet another innovative structure, now well-established, is the so-called master-feeder structure. A master-feeder structure consists of a partnership that holds a portfolio of securities and whose partners are various mutual funds (or other pooled investment vehicles). Like the multiple-class structure, the master-feeder structure provides efficiencies associated with having a single portfolio and the flexibility of offering investors different choices as to the means by which they can invest in that portfolio.
In addition to new fund structures, there has also been an increase in the variety and sophistication of investment styles. Back in the early days, mutual funds invested almost exclusively in stocks and bonds of U.S. companies. Today, investors demand a much broader array of choices in terms of risk/return profiles and asset classes. The fund industry has responded by offering funds that reflect different investment outlooks and perspectives.
Other developments that have contributed to the need to modernize the tax rules governing RICs include:
- FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Tax Positions. -- Commonly referred to as FIN 48, this accounting guidance requires entities with audited financial statements, including RICs, to evaluate their uncertain tax positions pursuant to a prescribed methodology and to post appropriate reserves. Given the lack of guidance as to numerous aspects of the tax rules applicable to RICs, FIN 48 has intensified the need for legislative clarification.
- Information Reporting. -- Congress recently expanded the information reporting obligations of RICs by requiring that they report basis information to shareholders. The requirements of the new reporting system put significant pressure on certain substantive rules, including rules that can result in retroactive basis adjustments as a consequence of events that may occur after a fund has already sent the shareholder basis information on a Form 1099-B.
- Industry Experience with the Calendar-Year Distribution Requirements. -- In the 24 years since Congress added the calendar-year distribution requirements contained in Code section 4982, the fund industry has had significant experience with the intricacies of coordinating that regime with the long-standing rules of Subchapter M. The industry has made repeated requests of the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department to exercise their regulatory authority to address some of the problems, but a lack of resources has limited their capacity to issue guidance. In addition, certain "glitches" in the existing rules require a legislative solution.
- Updates in the Statutory Rules Applicable to Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"). -- Like RICs, REITs are subject to the rules of Subchapter M of the Code. The REIT rules in Subchapter M were modeled after the RIC rules and in most respects the rules closely parallel each other. In recent years, Congress has modernized the REIT rules on numerous occasions, including in 1997, 1999 and 2004. While some of the updates are peculiar to the nature of REIT investments, several of the changes should also be made applicable to RICs.
III. Illustrative Provisions in the Bill
Given the extremely technical nature of the provisions in the Bill, I will not attempt to describe all of them today. I would, however, like to highlight three illustrative provisions.
First, the Bill would amend certain technical rules that do not operate properly in a fund of funds structure. The existing rules contemplate a fund investing directly in stocks, bonds and related investments. For example, in order to pass through tax-exempt interest to shareholders, a fund must have at least 50 percent of its assets invested in municipal bonds. Similarly, to pass through foreign tax credits, a fund must have at least 50 percent of its assets in foreign securities. Because a fund of funds does not invest directly in underlying municipal bonds or foreign securities, but rather in lower-tier funds that hold these assets, the investor in a fund of funds structure loses the benefit of these flow-through provisions. The Bill would correct this defect.
Second, the Bill would provide relief for inadvertent failures of the RIC qualification tests. Under current law, if a RIC fails the qualification test relating to asset diversification or gross income, the RIC and its shareholders lose the benefits of Subchapter M. In 2004, Congress amended the qualification rules for REITs to provide a lesser sanction when a REIT inadvertently fails one of the REIT gross income or asset tests. The Bill would amend the RIC rules to include a savings provision modeled on these REIT precedents.
A third provision in the Bill would amend one of the current law provisions impacting a RIC's ability to invest in gold and other commodities. Many financial advisors believe that commodities can be a useful hedge against inflation and therefore an important part of a diversified investment portfolio. In order to offer investors the ability to include commodities, such as gold, as part of their overall investments, a number of RICs gain exposure to commodities indirectly through investments such as structured notes. In recent years, the IRS has issued over 30 private letter rulings approving RIC investments in commodities through such indirect means. The Bill provides that income from commodities would be qualifying income for RICs. This change would facilitate the ability of investors who wish to include gold or other commodities as part of their portfolios to do so while also receiving the benefits of investor protection and transparency associated with investing through mutual funds and other investment companies regulated under the 1940 Act.
In closing, I would like to note that substantial effort has been made to keep the proposals non-controversial and to minimize the revenue impact of the Bill. We understand that the Bill has been scored as losing less than $190 million over 10 years. Given the size of the industry, it is remarkable that the Bill makes so many and varied improvements and yet has such minimal revenue effect.

text: This remarkable Ruth/Gehrig inscribed "home run" baseball was signed on May 26, 1928, as defined by the notations and then-current home-run totals to that date for the year which have been added by Ruth and Gehrig, respectively, in their own hands, following each of their signatures. These notations alone date the signing of the ball precisely, and this date is further confirmed by an additional period notation written in black ink upon the sweet spot which reads "May 26, 1928." The unprecedented home run duel between the pair the previous season (Ruth hit a record 60 home runs and Gehrig 47), along with their wildly successful postseason tour, generated a tremendous amount of excitement heading into the 1928 season. Could Ruth once again break his own record? Would Gehrig finally eclipse Ruth in the home-run department? These were the questions on every fan's mind. The fact that Ruth began the season on a torrid pace only fueled the "home-run madness." For one lucky fan, that 1928 home-run race would forever be frozen in time due to the Hall of Fame duo's unique inscriptions upon this ball. The medium-toned Official American League (Barnard) ball has been signed in black ink by Ruth and Gehrig, respectively, on opposite side panels. In addition to autographing the ball, both players have also noted their respective home-run totals at the time of the signing. Ruth has added the notation, "16 Home Runs" below his signature while Gehrig has referenced his own home run tally by simply penning the number "8" underneath his name. Ruth's signature is the stronger of the two, grading "6/7." Gehrig's signature, while somewhat lighter in composition, remains perfectly legible and grades "4." Written in black ink on the panel below the sweet spot are the notations "1927" and "60," no doubt in commemoration of Ruth's record-breaking season the year prior. Ruth got off to an impressive start in 1928. On May 26th the Yankees defeated the Philadelphia A's by a score of 7-4 in Philadelphia. That win upped the Yankees' record to an amazing 30-7, but that was not the story fans were following. With 16 home runs at that point, Ruth was well on pace to top his record of the previous year and the fans were clamoring for more. Ruth didn't disappoint them. He continued to feast on American League pitching and by the end of July he had set a record for most home runs in a season up to that point with 41, a mark that still stands to this day. Unfortunately, despite being 27 games ahead of his previous year's home-run pace, the "dog days" of August took their toll on the fabled slugger and Ruth eventually finished the season with a league-leading 54 home runs. Gehrig, who was well off his 1927 total of 47, once again finished second to Ruth in the home-run column, belting 27 round trippers to go with his league-leading total of 142 RBI. On May 26, 1928, Ruth had a season total of 16 home runs, and Gehrig had 8, as duly noted in the hand of each slugger, thus memorializing, defining, and freezing in time a moment of history and excitement created by Ruth and Gehrig at the peak of their powers in a unique manner we have never before seen on any Ruth/Gehrig dual signed item. The ball displays two crisscrossing linear impressions that run along the entire circumference (resulting from the manner in which the ball was long ago previously displayed). Neither impression, however, affects the signatures and all of the manufacturer's stampings remain extremely bold, crisp, and bright. Very Good to Excellent condition overall. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $2,500. Estimate $5,000/$10,000. SOLD FOR $5,925

Staying with the Tahs … Jacques Potgieter celebrates scoring a try the Highlanders.Waratahs cult hero Jacques Potgieter rebuffed an approach to make an early defection back to his old South African franchise the Bulls this year.
The three-Test Springbok is under contract with the Waratahs until the end of next season but, according to South African sports site supersport杭州后花园.za, the Bulls were struck down with a bad case of seller's remorse and tried to lure back the hulking second-rower halfway through the term of his Australian deal.
The 28-year-old told SuperSport he "missed South Africa but I have another year in Sydney to complete", while his agent, Gert van der Merwe, said the Australian dollar's relative power over the South African rand had made the Waratahs his home – for now.
"He certainly was looking to come back, but the deal he was offered was a good one, and it was hard to refuse," Van der Merwe said.
Potgieter has proved a recruiting masterstroke for NSW coach Michael Cheika, injecting much-needed mongrel into the Waratahs' pack and winning over jaded fans with his abrasive playing style. He was given his biggest send-off yet after the Waratahs' 44-16 victory against the Highlanders, when a record Allianz Stadium crowd of about 24,500 treated the 194-centimetre, 115-kilogram loose forward to a rousing standing ovation.
The success of his first season here is all the more remarkable considering he was a regular bench-dweller in Pretoria under coach Frans Ludeke, not to mention the Waratahs' poor success with South African imports Sarel Pretorius and Hendrik Roodt.
Traditionally a back-rower, Cheika has used Potgieter to great effect in the second row with Kane Douglas, where his ball carrying has helped bring out career-best form in players such as Douglas and Wycliff Palu. He has also helped blood super-sized youngster Will Skelton.
Douglas went as far as clarifying this week that although Cheika's tough-love coaching had a role in the second-rower's resurgence this season, it was mainly thanks to "Potsy".
"He throws himself into everything and us three in the locks have been bouncing off each other," Douglas said. "When you see big hits or big carries, them things are contagious. You see Jacques do something and you think 'I want to do that as well'."

First off we need something to show, and get input from so lets make a basic Contact From.
<!DOCTYPE html>   <title>My Epic Contact From</title>     <form id="contact"> Name:<input type="text" name="Name" />
 Email:<input type="text" name="email />
 Comment:
 <textarea name="comment"> </textarea> <input type="submit" value="Send" id="send" /> <input type="button" value="Save" id="save" /> </form>
So there is the basic HTML and Javascript we will be using. now to Give you a chunk of Javascript and explain it to you.
$(function(){ //when the Dom is Ready $('#save').click(function(){ localStorage.setItem("SvCntDtaDomain", "1"); var dta = $('#contact').sterilizeArray(); $.each(dta, function(i ,obj){ localStorage.setItem(obj.name, obj.value); }); return false; }); $('#send').click(function(){ return false; }); if(localSotrage.getItem("SvCntDtaDomain") == "1"){ var dta = $('#contact').sterilizeArray(); $.each(dta, function(i ,obj){ $('[name='" + obj.name + "']").val(localStorage.getItem(obj.name)); }); } });
And that's it. that's all you need to save from data, and you can have a form with as meany elements as you want and it will work just the same.
But it may need some explaining so here goes nothing.
First we hook the button click event for the save and submit. and then we have our data loading loop but ill cover that in a bit. when someone clicks the save button, we will set a key in local Storage to say that we saved, then we will get all the form inputs in the form with the id of "contact", we then loop though that array and set a key/value pare in local storage with the object name as a key and its value as the value.
then return false to stop from reloading the page.
Next up is when the page loads it will look for the key "SvCntDtaDomain" and if it has a value of 1 or not. if it does we then get all the items in the form. Loop though them and select the element with he current objects name. and sets its value form the one we saved in local storage.
And thats it! your done! thats all it takes to use Local Storage, have fun and Enjoy!

With all of the physical concerns that pregnancy brings, you may wonder whether you ought to stop working. The vast majority of women can continue to work during pregnancy, even until their due date. Women whose pregnancies are high risk (like those carrying multiples or with a history of premature labour), however, may need to take maternity leave earlier than others so they can get the rest they need.How to maintain a healthy pregnancy while working:Take breaks and put your feet up several times throughout the day. Circulation slows down during pregnancy; raising your feet keeps blood flowing, which helps to reduce swelling in the ankles and feet.Try to minimise stress at work. If you have a very stressful job, now is a good time to learn a stress management technique, like yoga or meditation.Get enough sleep at night. Some women find that they are more tired during the day when they're pregnant. To help combat daytime sleepiness, increase your night-time shut-eyeSpecial Job ConsiderationsA few jobs might pose a risk to you and your baby, in which case you may have to scale back or modify your activities.

A Tibbo Project PCB (TPP) contains a T1000 CPU, an Ethernet port, Flash memory, etc., like an EM1000 module. Unlike the EM1000, however, the TPP doesn't need a host board to plug into; the TPP is the host board.
The TPP2 provides three "tiles" which equates to six M and six C sockets for Tibbits. Plug in desired Tibbits, put the assembly into an optional Tibbo Project Box, and you've got yourself a cost-effective, highly customized automation device that carries no unwanted excess.
To achieve an economical basic unit price, the TPP keeps the on-board circuitry to the necessary minimum. For example, there is no built-in power supply; the board directly accepts only regulated +5V power. Real-world power processing (from 12V, PoE, etc.) is achieved by adding power supply Tibbits. This "no excess" approach is the cornerstone of the Tibbo Project System.
This smaller TPP can implement configurations with up to four simple serial ports, up to 12 relays, or up to 24 opto-inputs, PWM, and open-collector outputs. It is perfect for data collection and AutoID projects, as well as factory, shop, data center, hotel, and home automation applications. The board contains enough C sockets to accommodate temperature, humidity, pressure, ambient light, and shock sensors simultaneously. With the use of appropriate Tibbits, the board can even control legacy IR devices by emulating traditional IR remote controls.
High-level objects simplify your code and allow you to create a data-transport application with just a few lines of code:
View the TIDE, TiOS, Tibbo BASIC and Tibbo C Online Manual.
View Tibbo BASIC Introduction Videos.
View a video of the Serial-over-IP application showing WiFi support.
View a video of the Tibbo Connection Wizard showing how to create a Virtual Serial Port and link it with the Device Server.
Once you're happy with your setup, go to the Tibbits Category and purchase each Tibbit that you have determined your system will need.
To complete a neatly enclosed system for deployment, also purchase the TPB2-KIT or the TPB2L-KIT box assembly. The difference is that the TPB2-KIT has paper inserts for writing connection details, while the TPB2L-KIT instead has a 3.5" 320×240 TFT LCD plus four-button keypad suitable for applications requiring a human-machine interface (HMI).
If you choose the optional WiFi module below, be sure also to select both Tibbit #37 and the WiFi antenna listed under it.

This is a picture of Caroline Nosseck, half sister of grandfather John Sperl. Caroline was married twice, the first ended in the death of her husband and she remarried. The second marriage lasted a lifetime. I am not sure which marriage this was, but I think it was the second. I do not I do not know the names of the others in the pictures. But I love the dresses and flower arrangements.
I will have to ask my cousin Julie. Caroline is her grandmother.
Julie said it was her grandfather William Aheimer and they were married January 26, 1928.

2008 Colores del Sol Malbec Reserva
Faced with this delicious dilemma, I poured the 2008 Colores del Sol Malbec Reserva from the Luján de Cuyo region of northern Mendoza in Argentina. $13, 13.5% abv. Blackberry and plum nose, with a touch of pencil shavings. Starts off pretty brash and tart, but with a couple of hours of breathing it is smooth and fruit-filled, and a slightly ashy plum flavor pulls through. Strong tannins on the finish.
With this ample bounty on my plate, full of all sorts of wonderful flavors and textures, it's still the humble deviled egg that brings me the most joy. They're easy to make, I almost always have all the necessary ingredients on hand, and they're a good platform for some recipe modification and experimentation. But I almost never eat them except around the holidays. Hmmm... might have to make another batch and incorporate some of that pickled okra.

New to your blog and can't believe I'm such a late comer, since you've been doing this for quite a while. Good stuff. With you on the deviled eggs, I can never eat just one.
Your description of the Malbec sound good, but does the 13.5% alc level surprise you? And where would you rank this one amongst the best Malbecs you've had?
I had a 2004 Renacer Malbec earlier this year I thought was pretty awesome.

- Joe said...
"tart and brash" is an understatement. I've had a couple 2008 Arg. malbecs, and I've felt they were too tart...to a fault. Gave up on them.
So, decanting for a while really helped?
Oh, and that "Wine Tonite" guy is a scoundrel. Don't let him comment here :)

I was considering a separate blogroll just for southern bloggers, but it's increasingly looking like I'll need a whole section just for Atlanta. :)
The Colores del Sol isn't hot; 13.5% doesn't bug me, it's more when things get into the 16-17% range that it's obnoxious. As for how I'd rank it, I think it's a pretty good wine for the price. Most of the Malbecs I drink are in the $10-15 range. Much better Quality Price Ratio than you get with most Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir at that price point.
I've had some higher-end Malbecs, and they were quite lovely.
If you'll note there's a dab of cranberry sauce on my plate. I did try the wine on its own, but cranberries will reset the tartness sensors on your tongue.
I decant a lot of younger wines. Certain things like Carmenere I think are almost required to be decanted. Sometimes just two hours can turn that ugly duckling into a swan.
Oh, and that "Wine Tonite" guy is a scoundrel. Don't let him comment here :)
Y'all behave here. We don't tolerate no fussin' and feudin'. Take that out back and try not to rile up the dogs and chickens. ;)

When I first looked at that pic, I said "wait a minute -- is that a deviled egg I see on that plate?!" That, to me, just screams "Southern holiday meal," or "Southern Cook-out," in the summer. (That's what we call 'em in my neck of the South, I know in other parts of the country "cookouts" are referred to as "BBQ's"). Man, my Dad just loves to make deviled eggs, and everyone in my family adores them. Except me. I never could, never did, never will, I don't think. Anyway, the rest of your meal in that pic there looks completely yummy!

All hail the cookout! It can be difficult explaining to Yankees that cooking and eating outdoors isn't just a holiday or special occasion thing, it's often done just for the pleasure of getting together and eating.
I've done a lot of posts with wine and Southern food... Sauvignon Blanc with fried catfish, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo with pulled pork, etc. One of these days I'll try to find the perfect pairing for a pimiento cheese sandwich.

Benito -- I've got the perfect pairing for a pimiento cheese sandwich -- it's our old friend, dry Rosé! Seriously, when I was drinking my way through Rosé after Rosé this summer, I paired it with everything you can think of -- from hot dogs to pizza to pancetta biscuits, and lots of other things besides.
So one night,I made these great little things called "pimiento cheese tartlets," which are soooo easy to make, and paired them with a Rosé called Le Poussin Rosé 2008.(really dry, with hints of raspberry. The nose smells of freshly cut flowers and light berries; the taste is outstanding, with a kind of watermelon-y finish.) It was an awesome match.
I wrote about the recipe and the wine on my blog, I believe it was back in early October. You have to try a pimiento cheese sandwich with dry Rosé -- and let me know what you think!
- 17 December, 2009 19:41
- Benito said...
I'll give that a shot when I get a chance. Earlier this summer I tested the theory that dry rosé will pair with anything, so I served one with a ten-year-old MRE that had been sitting in storage. It's the first time I ever ate food that was older than the wine I was drinking.

Thanks, Benito, and I agree with the QPR for Arg. Malbecs, very good buys for the most part.
Joe was actually being nice by only using the term "scoundrel". We'll be nice and be sure not to mess anything up in this civilized community, but with those Dawgs you can never tell.

The New York State Bar Association devoted the summer 2012 issue of its Government, Law and Policy Journal to an in-depth discussion of gun laws, public health, and public safety, and invited the Law Center, as well as other gun violence prevention organizations, public health experts, elected officials, and scholars, to contribute to the conversation. We are pleased to share our contribution, which analyzes the current laws on the books in New York.
Our article, entitled "Regulating Guns in New York: Existing State Laws and How They Could Be Strengthened," focuses on six key legislative approaches to preventing gun violence that New York should adopt. For each approach, the article details New York's existing law, or lack thereof, recommends how the law should be changed, and presents examples of relevant existing laws in other states and New York City.
Recent polling confirms that a strong majority of New Yorkers support limiting the number of handguns an individual can buy to one a month and strengthening the state's laws regulating firearm sales, two of the critical issues that we discuss in our article.

Photo of what winter weather may look like, westbound at Hawthorn Farm
Steven Vance recently forwarded me a question about why CTA's rails have been sparking. Unlike MAX trains which get power from an overhead wire system, their trains get power through a third rail system. However, arcing in both kinds of power systems during winter weather is typically caused by ice. Ice building up on the wire (or third rail as the case may be) acts as an electrical insulator, preventing the carbon shoe from making contact with the wire where the ice accumulates. This interruption in the flow of the current from the wire to the pantograph is visible as arcing.
Here's a video of a MAX train pulling into & out of a platform where there was some ice on the catenary, and you can easily see the effect that it has:
To help clear ice from the overhead wire & prevent it from accumulating, a few of the Type 1s (107-112) are equipped with ice cutters which are put into use for major freezing rain/ice events. I don't have a picture of any of them in use (though I'm willing to accept donations!), but they look like a second pantograph and function by heating/scraping ice from the overhead wire. Unlike the pantographs, ice cutters only draw current to heat the elements and not to provide power to the train, so they won't arc the same way the pantographs do in ice. Their function is strictly to clear ice from the wire.
Pantograph (left) raised, ice cutter (right) lowered
If you'd ever seen one of these cars and wondered why it has two pantographs, wonder no more! It doesn't – one pantograph, one ice cutter.
View from above; the ice cutter is the one closer to the coupled end, the pantograph is the one in contact with the wire closer to the vantage point. Bonus cameo appearance by car 235

Hollow Mounting Stud for concealed wiring
P-Clamp Style Mount
Clamshell type mounting
Two-Piece Fork Mount
Mounting Hardware,
clamps, and Custom Mounts for Lights and Signals - These
mounting products can be combined with the various lights, mini-signals, spots, etc. on this
page for installation on your bike.
Before you order, read these notes to help with your selection of mounting hardware:
- The Hollow Stud Mounting kits allow installation via fender rail bolts, where the wire is
totally concealed within the light and mount. The hollow mounting stud replaces the rear fender
rail bolt, and provides a threaded stem for the light to attach. The wire passes through
the center of the stud and under the fender, completely invisible from the outside. These are
available in two sizes: 8mm diameter mounts (like those used on the Honda Ace 750, Kawasaki
Vulcan 800/1500, etc), and 10mm diameter mounts (for mounting on the Honda Spirit 750 and other
bikes with m10x1.25 fender rail bolts).
- The P-clamp Mounting kits allows the installation of lights on un-shrouded front forks
(like those on the Honda 750 Spirit), etc. Note that the P-Clamp mounts may require the mounting
hole to be enlarged with a drill, depending on the light attachment hardware.
- Clamshell Mounts are a very universal mounting method, and accomodate nearly every type of light.
They are a bit more robust, and a good choice when attaching large spotlights, 50 watt Halogen
lamps, etc.
- Two-Piece Fork Mounts are best for applications where the wiring exits the light housing,
not from within a hollow mounting stud.
- The small diameter vertical section of the F&S Engine guards (nearest the frame) for the
Vulcan 800 and 1500 Classic are 1" diameter.
- The small OEM engine guards on the V-Star 650 is 1" diameter.
- The 1" diameter clamp makes a great 1" handlebar mount for speakers, tachometers, GPS, etc.
- Cobra and MC Enterprises engine guards are 1-1/4" diameter.
- Frame down tubes on a V-Star 650 and 1100 are 1-1/4" in diameter.
- Frame down tubes on most Vulcan's and Honda Cruisers are 1.35" diameter.

Denmark Named World's Happiest Country — Where Does America Rank?
America might be the land that allows its citizens the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but that does not make American the happiest nation.
A recent Gallup survey of several nations asked its citizens to rate their "life situation and what they believe the quality of their lives will be in five years" on a scale of zero to 10. Denmark topped the list as the happiest nation on Earth.
The survey noted that 72 percent of Denmark's residents considered themselves to be in high spirits and considered their lives to be "thriving." Sweden and Canada came in second, with 69 percent of their population issuing positive responses with a score of eight or higher. America, however, finished in 12th place, with 59 percent reporting high levels of happiness.
The survey included residents from 124 counties. Happier countries tended to have fewer health problems and lower levels of stress and sadness.
World's Happiest Countries:
1. Denmark – 72 percent
2. (tie) Sweden and Canada – 69 percent
4. Australia – 65 percent
5. (tie) Finland and Venezuela – 64 percent
7. (tie) Israel and New Zealand – 63 percent
9. (tie) Netherlands and Ireland – 62 percent
11. Panama – 61 percent
12. United States – 59 percent
13. (tie) Austria and Costa Rica – 58 percent
15. Brazil – 57 percent

Anyway, here they are (for the time being, at least). Feel free to leave your feedback in the comments. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Steve's Query Twelve-year-old Ella Mae is a sensible girl. She believes in the Good Lord Jesus Christ and tunes in once a week for that new television show I Love Lucy (but only when Dragnet isn't on). So when some egghead scientist starts spouting nonsense about deoxy-something-or-other and how he can regenerate her auntie Mildred's long-dead son from the blood on his old dog tags, Ella Mae doesn't believe him. Or at least she doesn't until a man steps out of the bio-pod and drips yellow-green slime onto the floor.

Doctor Who fans are likely waiting with bated breath for season seven to kick off this weekend. Luckily, we have five new episode posters, a trailer and installments of a series of mini-adventures to share with you.

Season seven of Doctor Who starts September 1st on the BBC and BBC America. Hit the jump to see the new episode posters, trailer and mini-adventures.
Check out the episode posters below (via SpoilerTV) to get a glimpse of what you can expect from the upcoming seventh season of Doctor Who:
Now, if none of those posters make any sense to you, perhaps the following trailer for season seven of Doctor Who can clear things up a bit:
Still anxious for more Doctor Who? Well, what about taking a look at these mini-adventures? The five-part series will release the fifth and final installment tomorrow on the BBC's YouTube account before the seventh season of Doctor Who kicks off Saturday, September 1st.

Maple Glazed Turkey Breast
Perfectly cooked juicy turkey breast is glazed with the tantalizing flavor combination of sweet maple syrup and freshly cracked black peppercorns. A hint of Dijon mustard adds an extra touch of spice. Serve as an entrée, or tuck thin slices into a soft roll for a sandwich or snack.
Combine cracked black peppercorns and salt in a shallow, flat container large enough to accommodate the turkey breast. Roll the turkey in the peppercorn and salt mixture, coating it thoroughly and evenly.
Place the spice-crusted turkey on a baking rack in a roasting pan; bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then brush liberally with the maple syrup glaze. Cook for 5 minutes more, then top with 4 slices of butter.
Continue cooking for 15 minutes, then baste again, liberally, with the maple syrup glaze. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then top with the remaining butter slices. Continue cooking until a meat thermometer registers 160°F at the thickest part of the turkey breast, approximately 15 to 20 minutes more.
Remove turkey breast from oven and brush once more with maple syrup glaze. Let rest in a warm place for 15 minutes before slicing. (Note: The turkey will continue to cook after it is removed from the oven and will reach 165°F while resting).
Pour any pan juices from the roasting pan into the remaining maple syrup glaze and stir to combine. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil; cook until reduced slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Slice turkey breast and overlap slices on a warmed serving platter. Drizzle the reduced glaze over the turkey slices and serve warm or at room temperature.
Yield: 6-8

Some of the highlights were that we got to listen to famous artist and photographer, Chuck Close, talk about his life as an artist. We met 10 year old child prodigy and famous artist, Autumn de Forest too. She is an incredibly talented young girl with a beautiful spirit and energy to match.
We spoke with Jim Meyers (CEO of Artsonia) for quite awhile about our experience with Artsonia, their new app, and the amazing opportunity they provided for us to have our students featured on the Big Screen.
I met so many art teachers from my Twitter PLN (Professional Learning Network) for the first time and was able to put faces to the names of those who have been inspiring me for over a year now. We all met for dinner, including the Artsonia reps, and approximately 20 others from Twitter.
The biggest highlight for me was presenting for the first time at NAEA with renowned art teacher, Tricia Fuglestad. Our presentation room was packed. It was really something else to see so many art teachers interested in learning how we infuse ipads in our art programs with our students. I hope that they will be able to use much of what we shared with their students.

A Fun Site for Everyday Use!
This Day in History is a nifty website that allows you to…see what happened today in history! On December 8, 1980, John Lennon was shot and killed while entering his apartment. According to the site, "Lennon was considered the intellectual Beatle and certainly was the most outspoken of the four. He caused a major controversy in 1966 when he declared that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus," prompting mass burnings of Beatles' records in the American Bible Belt. He later became an anti-war activist and flirted with communism in the lyrics of solo hits like "Imagine," recorded after the Beatles disbanded in 1970. "

The Boulder City Council appears likely to impose a 10-cent fee on all disposable grocery bags — paper or plastic — starting in July 2013.
The council voted 7-1 Thursday night to approve an ordinance establishing the fee, which is half as much as the city staff originally suggested. Councilman George Karakehian voted "no," and Councilman Tim Plass was absent.
However, council members had to change the reference in the ordinance to the amount of the fee that retailers will get to keep to cover their costs.
The ordinance said retailers could keep 20 percent of the fee. However, that percentage was meant to refer to 4 cents out of the previously proposed 20-cent fee. The council had to change that to 40 percent because the fee is now just 10 cents.
That change means the ordinance will have to come back for a fourth reading Nov. 15.
Karakehian made a last effort to persuade his colleagues to reconsider the fee and change it to a ban on just plastic bags. He said a ban would be simpler and less expensive to administer than the fee. The city plans to use money from the fee in part to buy reusable bags and give them to low-income residents.
Councilwomen Suzanne Jones said she also was open to a ban. It is possible for the City Council to change the ordinance again if a majority of members agree. That would require a fifth reading.
Students from the Net Zero clubs at Fairview High School and Summit Middle School, who initially put the issue on the city's agenda by pushing for a ban, said they support the fee now, though they want the city to revisit its policy in a few years and consider a ban on plastic.
Boulder resident Fred Rubin said the City Council should let voters decide the question as a ballot measure.
"We are highly educated people in the city of Boulder," he said. "We do not need you to substitute your judgment for our own."
The fee would apply to all paper and plastic bags at food retailers, including grocery stores, convenience stores and Target. Gas station stores would be exempt if food sales account for less than 2 percent of their business.

• lissome •
lis-êm • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Supple, slender, gracefully limber and agile.
Notes: As today's Word History will show, lissome, lithesome, and lithe all share the identical meaning and are variations of one and the same word. Those slender enough can walk about lissomely as a result of their lissomeness.
In Play: Lissome implies movement facilitated by slenderness and flexibility: "Grace had grown into a charming, lissome teen-ager who leapt across the stage in her tutu effortlessly." This word refers to slender things but it implies motion: "Ages ago, when I was winsome and lissome, I could dance the limbo under a rod less than 2 feet from the floor."
Word History: Today's Good Word reflects remarkable indecision in the minds of English speakers over a particularly long period of time. The original word was lithe [laidh] which was first extended for no apparent reason to lithesome [laidh-sêm] and then reduced to lissome—all without the slightest shift in meaning. The original stem shows up in some languages related to English with an N, as we see in German lind "soft, dulcet" and Latin lentus "soft, pliant, tough". (We owe a debt of gratitude to the lissome mind of Dr. Lyn Laboriel for suggesting today's delightful lexical tidbit.)

Great Plains began delivering the original Turbo-Till model in 2002. Several years later, a heavy-duty model went into production with thicker blades and heavy-gauge wheels. In 2007 the company introduced a Series II Turbo-Till model, which featured a stronger frame, greater weight per gang and a sturdier transport axle.
Now Great Plains announces the Turbo-Max, priced at $39,473 for the 18-ft. model. It has two coulter gangs like previous Turbo-Till models, but with 7.5 in. between each blade, it has 25% closer blade spacing per gang. The gangs are offset so the second gang splits the first, reducing residue to 3.75 in. laterally.
The Turbo-Max has the ability to angle the gangs hydraulically from zero to six degrees. "Adding the ability to angle the gangs gives vertical-tillage farmers more options when preparing their seedbeds," says Tom Evans, vice president of sales for Great Plains. "In the fall, they can run the machine at an angle to bury more residue, which aids in the decay process and helps keep the residue from blowing away in high winds. In the spring, they can run it straight to create an excellent vertically tilled seedbed that is perfect to plant into. Running it at six degrees offset helps level wheel tracks left from harvest as well as offering better weed kill than the previous Turbo-Till models, which is something some of our customers have been asking for."
The finishing attachment behind the coulter gangs is the company's patented rolling spike harrow, which completes the vertical-tillage pass by leveling the soil and simultaneously fracturing any soil that was not already loosened by the coulter blades.
Great Plains will continue manufacturing the Turbo-Till in its latest form, but the Turbo-Max offers supplementary features for farmers looking for options in residue, leveling and weed control while maintaining a vertically tilled seedbed. The new models will be available in fall of 2012.
