The proposed design for the "Hyperloop," an ultra-fast transit system that would run between San Francisco and Los Angeles, was revealed today in a 56-page PDF document on Elon Musk's Tesla Motors website. Musk, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla Motors, describes a system that moves pods under low pressure through a tube between the two cities following the I-5 freeway.
The Hyperloop would consist of aluminum pods inside a set of two steel tubes, one for each direction of travel and connected at each terminus. The tubes would be positioned on top of pylons spaced 100 feet apart holding the tube 20 feet in the air, and the tube would be covered by solar arrays to generate its own power.
Inside the tubes, the pods would carry people at speeds of up to 760 miles per hour. The pods would each carry 28 passengers and depart every two minutes from either location (or every 30 seconds at peak times). So each pod would have about 23 miles between one another while traversing the tube. The transport capacity would therefore be about 840 passengers per hour.
The capsules' speed would rely in large part on a low-pressure environment, about "1/6 that of the pressure of the atmosphere on Mars" or a fraction of a percent of that on Earth, maintained by vacuum pumps. This would reduce drag by 1,000 times, the document says.
The tubes would not use a "hard vacuum" because they are "expensive and difficult to maintain compared with low pressure solutions." A pneumatic tube is fine for your bank, but it does not make an attainable, sophisticated transport solution.
The passenger capsules would be 4.43 feet at their widest point and 6.11 feet at their tallest. They would each weigh about 7,700 pounds and cost $275,000 to make ($1.35 million including all the onboard equipment, mechanical parts, and support systems). Musk envisions the passengers sitting in reclined chairs in rows of two with their feet elevated, as if relaxing in a chaise longue.
Each of the pods would have 28 attached "air bearing" skis that would "[float] on a pressurized cushion of air" a fraction of an inch away from the surface of the tube. The skis would be lifted off the surface by injecting air into the gap, a method that the document says is effective either when the capsules are stationary or moving very fast.
Inlets on the two noses of the capsules would serve as air intake sources, reducing the "choking flow" of air around the capsule as it moves through the tube. Removing air in the tube would not only smooth the capsule's journey, it would feed the skis that the capsule needs to skate along on.
The air from the inlets would be processed by a compressor and then stored in a reservoir onboard the capsule. The capsule would then eject this air through grooves on the bottom of the skis, generating enough lift to support it that fraction of an inch away from the surface.
As for actually moving the capsules, acceleration in an environment like this is a huge concern. While human beings don't care that much about being transported at supersonic speeds in enclosed environments, how they arrive at those speeds can be a huge problem. Generally, more than an extra g of force is extremely uncomfortable. So the design here takes care not to accelerate people too quickly.
The Hyperloop's capsules would be propelled by linear induction motors spaced throughout the tube. Magnets on the tube's internal surface would function as the stator, with an electric current supplied to them to generate a magnetic field. Magnets on the capsule would function as the rotor, spurred on by those in the tube. Those accelerators would also have two inverters that would push outgoing capsules along while capturing energy from incoming capsules that are slowing down (while there is one tube for each direction of travel, this means the directions for either could be reversed).
The capsules would travel at a "relatively low speed" between 0 and 300 miles per hour while entering and exiting urban areas and maintain at about 300 mph while crossing mountainous areas. Once they reach the flatter I-5 stretch, they could be sped up by the linear accelerators to up to 760 mph to coast at roughly that speed for the bulk of the journey.
The document points out that a Hyperloop tube covered in solar arrays could generate about 52MW of power, a vast amount more than the estimated 6MW that would be needed to operate the Hyperloop itself.
Musk addresses some of the disaster scenarios that the Hyperloop tube might encounter. Since the Hyperloop capsules spend the most time coasting, the proposal states that they don't need much power to travel, but everything needing power would be supplemented by lithium ion batteries. If a capsule depressurized, the control system would use the onboard pressurized air to maintain the environment until the capsule reached its destination. Worst case, oxygen masks would drop for the passengers.
The proposal states that it would be hard for a capsule to become stranded within the tube given that it spends most of its time coasting at a high speed ("no propulsion required for more than 90 percent of the journey). If a capsule was truly rendered immobile by its normal means of travel, however, it would use "small onboard electric motors" to power "deployed wheels" so the cabin could roll itself to safety.
It's difficult not to imagine a partial loss of sanity among passengers who, thinking they're in for a half-hour journey, suddenly find themselves taking 10 times as long to get there. Hopefully it wouldn't be a frequent occurrence. The document makes special note that all capsules would be supplied with enough air to support the passengers even for this failure scenario of a suddenly-normal-length trip.
The alpha proposal still pegs the cost at $6 billion: $54 million to construct the 40 passenger capsules and $5.41 billion for the tube and propulsion system construction.
Even more ambitiously, the Hyperloop document suggests that not only people could benefit from a transportation upgrade. A "cargo capsule" system that could also transport vehicles would cost another $30.5 million for 20 capsules, plus another $1.5 billion for a more robust tube system—a total of $7.5 billion. But in this kind of futuristic world, who's going to need cars anymore?

Ok after having a problem using triple des with .net/visual basic with php I think this could help someone:
Visual Basic 9 with .net 2.0
Encrypting as a stream into the IO/Memory as bytes
Then they get converted back after encryption
I wanted to use base64 encoding to store the VB encryption
The problem I found was ...
I could En/Decrypt within VB and PHP just fine
But when I tried to encrypt one in VB and decrypt in PHP
I got the wrong values with the mcrypt function alone
I found that at least with VB9 that the stream encryption uses a UTF char that is the value for how many missing bytes left in the 8 bit stream.
So if you encrypt 1234 it will add chr(4) four times (the amount of missing bytes)
In php use chr otherwise most browsers/client cant read it.
Im not good at explaining things but the php code I figured out is below.
It will find the missing bytes on input as visual basic does
and replace as needed. For both encryption and decryption.
Example is triple_des and cbc with self key and iv for storing in base64
$key = "E4HD9h4DhS23DYfhHemkS3Nf";// 24 bit Key
$iv = "fYfhHeDm";// 8 bit IV
$input = "Text to encrypt";// text to encrypt
$bit_check=8;// bit amount for diff algor.
$str= encrypt($input,$key,$iv,$bit_check);
echo "Start: $input - Excrypted: $str - Decrypted: ".decrypt($str,$key,$iv,$bit_check);
function encrypt($text,$key,$iv,$bit_check) {
$text_num =str_split($text,$bit_check);
$text_num = $bit_check-strlen($text_num[count($text_num)-1]);
for ($i=0;$i<$text_num; $i++) {$text = $text . chr($text_num);}
$cipher = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_TRIPLEDES,'','cbc','');
mcrypt_generic_init($cipher, $key, $iv);
$decrypted = mcrypt_generic($cipher,$text);
return base64_encode($decrypted);
function decrypt($encrypted_text,$key,$iv,$bit_check){
$cipher = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_TRIPLEDES,'','cbc','');
mcrypt_generic_init($cipher, $key, $iv);
$decrypted = mdecrypt_generic($cipher,base64_decode($encrypted_text));
for($i=0;$i<$bit_check-1; $i++){
return $decrypted;

The most common questions that I receive from both readers of my blog and those who watch my videos on YouTube are about my UI. What mods do I use, how do I set it up, can I forward my addon and WTF folders. I've received so many of them that I got it in my mind to do a video project where I walk though the different elements of my UI. My goal in undertaking this (massive) project is to talk to people about which mods I'm using and more importantly why I'm using them. Or in other terms, what I feel each mod provides to my raid experience as a healer. It is not my intent to walk you through the set up of each individual mod (believe me, that video would be rated R, as there is much gratuitous profanity involved in that process), but rather offer some thoughts on how to set up your healing UI as a whole.
As I mapped this project out, I was able to break down the different elements of my UI into seven different categories. I anticipate doing a video walk through for each of the seven categories, although I may be able to crunch category four and five into one video. It is my hope that through doing this I will not only answer many of the UI questions that I've been asked, but also give some insight on different things that you may want to consider as you build your own UI (which can be an incredibly daunting task). If I don't address a certain mod in this particular video, don't worry! I will be addressing every raid related mod (and some non-raid related mods) throughout the course of this series, so just be patient and it will come 🙂
One thing that I think it is paramount to keep in mind anytime you are discussing UIs is that they are very personal, and that no two people's interface will be identical. Different people process information differently, and your UI will reflect that. Just because something works for me does not mean that it will work well for you. There is no "right" or "wrong". It's important that you find something that works for you, and then continue to build on that foundation.
(Please note that this video will be best viewed at a higher resolution)
Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have comments or questions!

Always knowing she wanted to be an artist, Nancy Glazier's grandmother presented her with her first set of oil paints when she was eight. Her delighted father sold her first painting when she was twelve. Her family moved to Wyoming when she was sixteen. Glazier was introduced to Cody Museum muralist, Adolph Spohr, who singled her out for private instruction. Painting is the very breath of her life. While she is painting, Glazier feels complete, joyful, powerful and free. Today, the animals Glazier prefers to paint are truly wild and free. Elk, deer, moose, bear, cougar, coyote, fox, birds from osprey to pine siskin, share their territory with her in the mountains of the Northwest. "My paintings invite you into this world. Journey with me awhile. I will share with you what the eyes of my heart see."

Endangered won't be released until October 1st, but I am publishing this early so that you can place your pre-orders now. Endangered was hands-down the best book I read this summer. I read it straight through, in the middle of the night, because I could not put it down. The book made it's way to the top of my TBR pile after I tweeted a request for realistic YA with a focus on science. When a few Twitter pals recommended Eliot Schrefer's upcoming book I remembered seeing a few mentions of the book at BEA back in May. The ARC quickly climbed to the top of my TBR pile and I am very glad it did. Like I said, it was my favorite book of the summer!
For those of you who don't know me in real life, I am a science girl. I went to a pre-engineering and science high school and spent my first year of college struggling to decide between English and biology as a major. I was a part of Project SUPER during my freshman year in college, which "is an enrichment program for undergraduate women interested in pursuing the sciences, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields." We visited labs all over campus, met with mentors, and participated in research. In the end, I became an education major with a double major in English. However, I am still a science girl at heart. All you have to do is look at my involvement with the Monarch Teacher Network to know that!
Back on the subject of Endangered. Books about animals, with a focus on biology or conservation, are my bread and butter. For some reason, there is a severe lack of these books in YA. (Other than dystopian, science fiction books). But Endangered is the book to beat all books in the genre! It's real, it's gritty, and it will break your heart. But the best part is the science is all real and the desperate need for conservation is all too real in a part of the world that often can't feed it's people, let along focus on the innocent creatures surrounding them.
Endangered is the truly exceptional story of Sophie, a teenage girl whose mother runs a bonobo sanctuary in Congo. Bonobos are our closest relatives (we share 98% of our DNA, more than chimps) and they are surprisingly human-like. However, they live in the war-torn Congo and are in danger of becoming the first great apes to become extinct under our watch. Sophie's mother works alongside the government to raise orphaned bonobos in order to release them into the wild later in life. But when Sophie personally rescues Otto, an orphaned bonobo, she becomes attached to him.
But Sophie and Otto's lives are in danger when a coup threatens the stability of the country. Sophie and Otto are forced to flee into the jungle in order to survive and they must make their way to safety. Together, alongside some of the surviving bonobos from the sanctuary, they must fight to stay alive amidst revolution and chaos.
I can not recommend this book enough. However, be aware that it is a war story, and thus I would recommend it for high school readers and not those in middle school. It's also full of facts that are woven seamlessly into the narrative. I'd love to have my students read this as we study imperialism in Africa. It's a natural ladder to (and even from) Achebe and Adichi's works. Endangered is a tale of survival amid violence and Schrefer doesn't shy away from the gory details at times. And because those details sometimes involve mistreated animals, I found it hard to read at times. However, I also could not stop reading. And that's the magic of Endangered.
I finished the book a few weeks ago and it's still on my mind. I immediately passed it on to my co-worker who teaches biology. I plan to place it on my list of recommended summer reads next year. And I can't wait to booktalk to my students. It's the perfect mix of humanity, history, biology, conservation, compassion, the human condition, and current events. I find myself still researching bonobos as I type this!
Highly, highly recommended. And I fully expect to hear this title brought up in many awards conversations.
(Eliot Schrefer will be presenting at NCTE in November. I know I can't wait to be a part of that audience!)

Google's Android.com promotional site was revamped with the launch of the Nexus 5, and it seems that Google is already using it to drop hints about its next device. If you head to the Apps & Entertainment section of the new site and scroll down to the second large image, you'll see a picture of a woman holding a tablet that we've never seen before.
First spotted by Britoid on The Verge Forums, the image shows a tablet that looks to have a screen that's about 8 inches. It's running KitKat (you can tell from the status bar icons), and it has on-screen navigation buttons. Unlike the current Nexus tablet, the Nexus 7, the bezels look to be very compact. The Nexus 10 is a year old now, and many expected Google to have announced a replacement for it by now, but a smaller 8-inch tablet would be a surprise.
While this is a generic page for Android, Google has never used "fake" or generic devices in promotional material before. In fact, just above this picture is a girl holding a Nexus 7. We have seen Google leak its own devices like this before: the Nexus 5 was first spotted in an official video from Google, where an employee was casually filming the KitKat statue with it. If you thought the Nexus news grind was over, think again! We'll keep our eyes peeled for more on this one.
Update: Google seems to have noticed! The image was replaced with a Nexus 7.

President Barack Obama signed an emergency order Thursday night, approving federal disaster aid for Boulder County after torrential rainfall prompted 100-year flooding that has, so far, resulted in two confirmed deaths, at least nine more missing and National Guard rescue efforts.
Continued flooding caused dozens more evacuations throughout the county, power outages and the closure of U.S. 36 on Thursday. Parts of most major roads in Boulder were also closed.
Walls of water coming down canyons triggered mudslides and structure collapses and buildings to be swept away — especially in Jamestown and Fourmile Canyon. The city of Boulder issued an emergency declaration allowing officials to seek support from the state and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
As of late Thursday night, nine people were reported missing in Boulder, with their family members or friends unable to locate them. More than 400 officers throughout the county were performing search and rescue operations, said Gabrielle Boerkircher, a county spokeswoman.
Officials declined to release the missing persons list for fear citizens would try to go on rogue, dangerous search and rescue missions.
"We're all pretty much locked in Boulder right now," Boerkircher said. "The main concern is keeping people off the roads. They need to stay safe at home."
Crews spent Thursday rescuing stranded people from cars and homes, and they feared the death toll would rise. Sheriff Joe Pelle is pleading with people to stay inside, and non-essential city services, the University of Colorado, Boulder Valley School District, St. Vrain Valley School District and Naropa University will remain closed Friday.
Boulder County Sheriff's Cmdr. Heidi Prentup said a man died early Thursday morning in the area of Linden Avenue in Boulder County after he got out of his car and tried to rescue a female passenger.
Multiple structures in Jamestown and Fourmile Canyon have collapsed or been swept away, and Boulder County officials confirmed that at least one person was killed in Jamestown after a structure collapse.
Prentup said all sheriff's deputies are on duty, rotating 12-hour shifts.
"We are still in life-safety mode," she said.
Emergency officials are still focused on rescue efforts, not damage assessment. They shut down the Boulder Municipal Airport so only emergency personnel can get in to deliver aid, and they have requested helicopters from the National Guard.
Citing safety concerns, they also shut down Boulder's Open Space and Mountain Parks.
"We have spent the day assisting people stranded in their vehicles, stranded in their homes," Prentup said.
She said 12 dams in the county have overtopped.
"We don't have any structural issues with them, but they are over the top of the dams," Prentup said.
In the city, Linden Avenue — and the nearby Wonderland Hills neighborhood — were among the most severely affected regions, and emergency personnel warned residents Thursday to be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice.
Robert Reed and his wife, Laurajane, live on South Cedar Brook Road, about 1.5 miles west of Broadway off of Linden Avenue. They evacuated their home on foot Thursday after Cedar Brook was washed out, Reed said.
The couple had two small suitcases, a lock box containing important papers, a handful of other valuables and their dog as they waited at corner of Linden and Broadway for a sheriff's deputy to drive them to a friend's house.
"We were prepared to evacuate by car in case of fire," Reed said. "It never occurred to us there would be a flood."
Farther west on Linden, Brad MacHamer and his 2 1/2 year-old-son, Mose, watched as a bulldozer moved dirt and debris from the roadway just past Wonderland Hills, clearing the way for other emergency vehicles that were working to slow down water streaming through the neighborhood from the foothills.
MacHamer said he lives near the North Boulder Recreation Center but came to the Wonderland Hills neighborhood to visit friends and observe the flood damage for himself.
"It's just insane," he said. "You never think that something like this could happen here."
In contrast to Wednesday night — when the rain downpours hammered north Boulder — southeast Boulder seemed to take the brunt of the storm Thursday night.
Boulder City Manager Jane Brautigam on Thursday morning signed and issued the local disaster and emergency declaration that allows the city to request support from the state as it responds to the torrential rains and flooding.
Obama declared an emergency in Colorado at about 9:15 p.m., ordering federal aid to supplement state and local response efforts. The action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA to coordinate disaster relief efforts in Boulder, El Paso and Larimer counties.
"Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency," said a news release from the White House.
Boulder Sheriff Joe Pelle said officials feared that more fatalities would be discovered as crews tried to make their way into the mountain towns and heavily affected areas.
"We're bracing ourselves for the worst," Pelle said.
With more rain in the forecast, city spokeswoman Sarah Huntley warned Thursday afternoon that "the risk is still very real" and the flood water is dangerous and contains sewage.
Authorities were warning residents of Lyons that it's unsafe to drink water, and that they need to boil it first or buy bottled water.
As of Thursday, however, drinking water in Boulder was still safe.
Earlier Thursday, people had been ordered to evacuate from Jamestown and Fourmile Canyon.
Pelle said the floodwaters and debris have prevented more crews from reaching the mountain towns.
"All the preparation and want-to in the world can't put people up the canyon while the debris and water is coming down," Pelle said. "This is not your ordinary day, this is not your ordinary disaster."
Boulder has long ranked as one of the state's top flood hazards and made a national list of six "disasters waiting to happen" published by CU in 2004, along with a devastating hurricane striking New Orleans.
Without a 100-year flood since 1894, the city had said another major flood was "a question of when and not if."

Lansing bound
The Lady Falcons Hannah Knight will be continuing her softball career with Lansing Community College. LCC softball coach Marc Kibby is excited about getting Knight after watching her in summer ball.
"One of the things we liked about her was her hustle, athletic ability," Kibby said. "Another plus is her being an all-around good student.
"We know she will be a good fit for our program," Kibby added.
This spring will be Knight's fourth year on Constantine coach Marge Caid's varsity team. In her time with the Lady Falcons she started out behind the plate and now anchors the infield, playing shortstop. She has hit over .400 consistently.
"Hannah is one of the greatest players to come out of our program," Caid said. "She can play multiple positions.
"She's a unbelievable bat, Hannah knows the game very well. She is going to help LCC tremendously," Caid said. "But I get her for one more year."
Knight will be pursing a career as a surgery technician.

How much privacy is the scientific process entitled to? During the course of their work, researchers produce e-mails, preliminary results, and peer reviews, all of which might be more confused or critical than the final published works. Recently, both private companies with a vested interest in discounting the results, and private groups with a political axe to grind have attempted to use the courts to get access to that material.
Would it be possible or wise to keep these documents private and immune to subpoenas? In the latest issue of Science, a group of researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) argue that scientists need more legal rights to retain these documents and protect themselves in court.
Just after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon in April 2010, the researchers were asked by BP to analyze the situation caused by the oil company's failed blowout preventer. One of the major goals was to assess the rate at which oil was spewing into the Gulf of Mexico. After concluding their research and publishing two peer-reviewed papers on the topic, the WHOI scientists were subpoenaed. BP sought access to "any transmission or exchange of information" related to their research on the oil spill.
BP claimed that these documents were necessary to "advance BP and other parties' understanding of scientific work." However, the company has also made public allegations about the "integrity, reliability, and reproducibility" of the WHOI findings, casting doubt on the researchers' work.
The documents in question are so vital because the research conducted by WHOI (in particular the estimates of the flow rate) could play a large role in the amount of damages that BP will be forced to pay. The court has granted the subpoena, noting that "even if the only purpose for the analysis documents is impeachment, the WHOI analysis documents have significant probative value and BP has a substantial need for them." In other words, BP will be able to use all the scientists' correspondence, records, and preliminary results to call their estimates into question.
This certainly isn't the first incident in which a private corporation has sought legal action against researchers in order to force them to turn over documentation. In the 1980's, Dow Chemical Company subpoenaed data from the University of Wisconsin that was related to the chemical Agent Orange, and a decade later, tobacco companies sought documents from researchers based at the Mount Sinai Medical School. Last year, Bayer Pharmaceuticals subpoenaed peer review comments from a study of the side effects related to some of their birth control pills.
These requests aren't limited to private companies, either. The attorney general of Virginia attempted to get access to the e-mails of a climate researcher, Michael Mann, based on unspecified accusations of fraud. After the courts threw that out, a private group also sued the University of Virginia, where Mann once worked. That suit, too, has failed, but there has already been talk of appeals, and climate researchers face freedom of information requests on a regular basis.
Courts' responses to subpoenas from business interests have been less consistent; some have ruled that releasing these documents can "damage the peer review process and can also undermine efforts to improve health and safety," while other courts have ruled in favor of the corporations, alleging that it is in the public's best interest to resolve these disputes.
Before the BP subpoena, WHOI researchers had already voluntarily released 52,000 pages to BP, which they claim included all the necessary information to replicate and confirm their analyses. The researchers argue that private correspondence, such as e-mails between researchers and the comments of peer reviewers, should remain a confidential part of the deliberative scientific process. In an editorial in The Boston Globe earlier this year, they admit that instances of devil's advocacy and admissions of "weaknesses in our methods" do appear in the correspondence, but that these should "not cast doubt on the strengths of our conclusions. Rather, it constitutes the typically unvarnished, yet rigorous, deliberative process by which scientists test and refine their conclusions to reduce uncertainty and increase accuracy."
The scientific method, they argue, ensures that things become more accurate as a study progresses. Especially in a time-sensitive project such as an oil spill, early results are based on approximations and small sample sizes. As information is gathered, more precise data from a larger number of sources refines and improves estimates.
However, correspondence isn't the only issue at hand here; entire reputations are at stake. With the intention of remaining impartial, the researchers have chosen not to serve as expert witnesses against BP. But in a strange legal twist, this decision actually prevents them from challenging and rebutting any claims that BP makes about the accuracy of their research. Because they are not witnesses, the researchers must be found in contempt of court before they can refute these claims.
The WHOI scientists allege that this lack of legal rights puts them, as well as other scientists, at risk of legal harassment by corporate interests, jeopardizing not only their work but also their scientific and personal reputations. At the very least, they argue, scientists should have the right to defend themselves, to counter-subpoena the corporations, and to seek financial retribution from corporations that have maligned them.

Start Your Ovens"
As I sit writing this (wow, that sounds either lah-tee-dah literary or like I'm writing from prison - your call), it is the day before Thanksgiving and I already am beginning to bloat in anticipation of all the food upon which I shall chow (ok, that was definitely literary) in the coming fortnight (paging Jane Austen!).
I have much to be thankful for (I know I dangled it - if I say it the long way it just sounds snooty) and I try to keep my blessings top of mind throughout the year, giving daily thanks for The Biggies such as churros and the health and well-being of my loved ones.
This post, however, goes out to my newest friends - my bloggy loved ones - who, in the few short months since I started this little roadside attraction, have stopped by (some many, many times) to encourage, inspire, entertain and support me. (And, yes, occasionally make me spew Mountain Dew out my nose with laughter.)
So, as I fire the starter pistol and wave the checkered flag o' mirth and we burn rubber into the official holiday season, I want to thank each and every subscriber, follower and commenter for being a part of whatever the hell this is. (Except maybe the guy who left the comment that looked like a comment at first but actually was 50 pounds of HTML directing people to his online lingerie store. Nice try, dude - like in this economy people are buying anything but used lingerie. *snort*)
Please forgive my inability to send each of you an individual shout-out, but I hope you'll enjoy visiting some of the folks who go out of their way to make the blogosphere a place worth visiting.
Since The Outlaws (a much better name than The Inlaws, in my opinion) will be visiting for the holiday and it happens to be Morticia's (not my daughter's real name) birthday as well, I will leave this post up for the long weekend, which I hope will give you time to click on the links and do some worthwhile surfing as you digest Ye Olde Turkeye.
Glitter-Covered Thanks To...

Tessa, through whose blog I have a secret window into a part of the U.K. countryside so charming that I'm quite sure the rabbits wear velvet waistcoats and carry pocket watches.

and have a safe and smooth Thanksgiving!

Brice R Walters [Stockton,CA] says
Dec 11, 2012 | Normal metformin dosage for pcos
I am not a big time gamer at all. I have never really been into the real hardcore games like Halo, or Call of duty. My thing has always been the more casual stuff like mario bros, mario cart, and some shooter games like Raymond. I ordered a wii U last week on a whim. I own an original Wii and figured an update was long over due. I was also really intrigued by the new Tvii and how it integrates with my flat screen and the possibility of getting rid of my cable bill.
Here is a list of what I liked about the New Wii U
– The new Full HD Graphics
– Games are really fun! Especially Mario Bros and Nintendo Land
– Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix work great much better than the my samsung smart TV interface, and much faster too.
– The new controller looks like due to its large size it would be uncomfortable to hold. But so far I have been able to operate it with ease. I like that my wife can watch her shows and I can sit and play Mario Brothers on the controller just like it was a portable device.
Some things I didn't like.
– Setting up the TVii app has been a real pain in the butt. I was told it would integrate with my DVR, and it is one of the options when trying to set up, but i haven't been able to get this to work.
– I have not been able to use my amazon prime account to watch free videos through the Wii U.
– The set up when I first hooked up the Wii U took way too long. It was at least 30 minutes from the time it was plugged in until I was able to play a game. The majority of time was a system update. The download too forever! This seemed excessive. PS3 updates are typically no more than a couple of minutes.
Overall, I really like this system and look forward seeing how new games utilize the tablet screen on the control in game play.

Once I realized that the Wii U was now available for sale, I started to look at which Wii U games I wanted to purchase along with the console. I read about Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 here at the Wii U Depot, and I decided that sounded like a game for me I have played and really enjoyed earlier versions of Call of Duty on my Xbox, so I ordered it along with the unit.
Oh man, I am really digging playing it! I can play online split screen multiplayer and I don't have to split the screens. I like to use the GamePad as my second screen. I can change my class without having to enter the start screen, plus I can use the GamePad as a minimap, while still using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk that I'm used to. These are huge improvements over the game play on the Xbox or PS3. And now that the Wii U is full HD even the hardcore gamers should buy the Wii U!

The Good –
I have always loved my original Wii, with the one exception that the 480p graphics just don't compare to other gaming systems. My qualm has now been put to rest with the 1080p HD graphics on the Wii U. The improved graphics are absolutely brilliant!! I wasted not time finding my Wii U in stock.
The GamePad controller ads a really cool new dimension to game play. My girlfriend can watch as much Dancing With The Stars and Nashville as she wants to on our big screen TV, while I sit right next to her in comfort playing New Super Mario Bros. U on my GamePad. How did Nintendo think of this?!
The Bad –
I have always enjoyed playing sports on video gaming consoles, but Madden NFL 13 isn't as fun on the Wii U as it could have been. The reason is that the Wii U version has removed the Infinity Engine. Anyone who has played the latest Madden NFL on PS3 or Xbox 360 know what I'm talking about. When players collide, the Infinity Engine would make a new animation for each collision, based on how the players hit. The Wii U, however, uses canned animation. Something to know before you consider buying the Madden Wii U game.

Assassins Creed III for Nintendos Wii U is a mixed bag of good and bad. I do like the fantastic scenery, and the time period is very interesting. The idea of a crazy time traveling assassin fighting in the revolutionary war is pretty Fing cool! But what I dont like about it is they've taken out a lot of the great fighting moves from Assassin's Creed II. Plus it seems to be very buggy to me. Not sure if this is only happening on the Wii U but I hope they fix the bugs soon. All in in its still a great game and a lot of fun to play!

I think one of the most fun Wii U games is Nintendo Land. It's set up like an amusement park with 12 attractions. Some are similar to puzzles, like Donkey Kong's Crash Course and Yoshi's Fruit Cart Others are more action oriented games, like Takamaru's Ninja Castle, in which you use the GamePad's touchscreen to flick ninja stars toward your TV. It's fun for the whole family! I'm very glad I decided to buy Wii U. It differentially lives up to the hype and I can not wait to see how Nintendo will start to integrate the GamePad screen into more and more games on the Wii U
Confused in Tacoma [Tacoma,WA] says
Dec 1, 2012 | Pharmary online
Before I order the Wii U, I want to figure something out. I don't understand the purpose of the GamePad. Why would I look at the small screen on the GamePad if I can watch the game play on my big screen television? I mean, it's not like a portable version of the game, because I need a connection to the console in order to make the GamePad work. It's kind of cool that I can play only using the GamePad; it just doesn't seem very practical. Most of the reviews I have read say in order to use the system properly you will need to purchase a pro-controller. That is a turn off for me. Can anyone on here shed some light on this. Will I need to buy another control to play the games?

Dec 4, 2012 | Cymbalta generic reviews
No, you can play all the games with either the GamePad or any of the controllers from the first generation Wii. More intense games such as Batman and Madden are a whole lot more fun on the pro controller though. If you are looking to get the most out of your Wii U, do yourself a favor and buy the pro controller when you buy Wii U

Its been just about a week now since I have owned the Wii U
I remember for a long time Nintendo was under a large amount of criticism for not offering a true HD unit, one that used HDMI cables. There is no double people have been waiting for this upgrade for a long time. Rather than coming out with a update to the existing Wii which used HDMI's like Xbox did years ago Nintendo waiting to release the upgrade with its totally revamped unit, and I must say IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT. The Wii U is awesome!
The main new features are:
1) The Wii U Is now full HD, it is now par with the Xbox 360 and PS3 in this regards
2) The new GamePad controller. This new device offers a world of new ops both in game and out. You can now continue to play your gam while others watch TV. It can also be used as a TV remote.
3) You can now use the Wii U as your central entertainment hub for your TV. Nintendo calls this the TVii. Here you can stream netflix watch Hulu and even check out a TV guide. I hear soon it will even offer an instant reply feature which will allow you to watch stuff like a sports reply right on the GamePad. How cool is that!
To summarize- The main appeal of the new Wii U is the full HD, new GamePad controller, the new dimension you get controlling your other entertainment devices, and the TVii application.

Once again, Nintendo leads the way, while the others just try to copy them. The original Wii took the video gamer out of their seat, and put them in motion in front of the console. They did something that no other home video game had done before. It was an innovation like no other, and put Nintendo a step above all other video game companies. Then what happened? Microsoft created the Xbox 360 Kinect, and Playstation soon followed with Playstation Move. Now, Nintendo has made a new advancement: the Gamepad. Watch for Xbox and Playstation to follow Nintendo's lead. I simply love the ability to play games both on my TV and right on the Gamepad. I give the Wii U a perfect 5 star review!
Nov 29, 2012 | Buy synthroid from mexico
I am a dyed in the wool PlayStation guy, and I play my PS3 on a daily basis. However, I do keep up on all of the latest news and announcements regarding new gaming consoles. I found so much promise in the Wii U console, that I decided to order Wii U and give it a try. I know that I can always return it if I don't like it. I have to tell you, that this console is not going back. I'm in love with the Wii U! The graphics are even sharper than the PS3, and the GamePad is an innovation that the PS3 just can't compete with. I purchased Assassin's creed 3 for the Wii U (already had it for the PS3) comparing the game on both systems:
Wii U
– Better graphics. I could not believe Nintendo came out with a console that offers graphics as good as Sony let alone better!
– I found the price for the game to actually be cheaper on the Wii U than the PS3!
– Loading time, the game loads and starts up faster on the Wii U
– Audio, this was close but it did seem to me that the Dobby surround sound was a little better with the Nintendo
– Game play, this is the only area I like the PS3 better. I dont have the Wii U pro controller (yet), and playing the game on the older controller or GamePad SUCKS!

I wanted to get my Wii U as soon as it came out on November 18, so I looked it up at Best Buy, and i was pleased to see that not only was the Wii U in stock, but I could buy Wii U and pick it up in the store, so I didn't have to wait for it to be shipped. I went to the store near my house, got my Wii U, and have been enjoying it ever since! Similar to what I have read from the other reviews, the controller situation is a little annoying. The GamePad does not allow for proper game play with all the games, the the controllers from the original Wii are pretty limited as well. The system should really have come with a pro controller rather than charging separate for it.
Over all the games I have tested all live up to Nintendo's standards, and the improved HD graphics is a real plus. There is no doubt you can tell the difference compared to the Wii U's predecessors. All in all the system is a winner and I would recommend it to not only Nintendo fans but any gamer looking to upgrade.
Nov 28, 2012 | Lexapro increased dosage anxiety
Nintendo has impressed me again! I've had the black Wii U deluxe now since Friday and my 3 year old son and I love playing Nintendoland together. Nintendo really gets it right, they understand games are about having fun, and players of all ages should be able to enjoy them. Whether or not this system is as powerful as its competitors does not matter. The game system is fun to play and that is the bottom line! With the added GamePad you have even more options with the new Wii U. You can now continue to play your game no matter where you are in the house. I really dig this new feature! I have not played any games yet that really utilize the GamePad as an in game tool, but I'm sure they are out there!
My only gripe with the system was the required update. I was really eager to start playing however as soon as I plugged it in I had to wait while it when though a system update process that lasted almost 10mins. In short I am really happy I purchased the Wii U initially my plan was to wait for Christmas to open it but as you have ready I am pretty impatient.

This is the first time I can remember Nintendo has released a 2d version of Mario with the launch of a new console. Maybe its just nostalgia taking over but I am sold on the new Wii U! I was lucky enough to find the Wii U instock on black Friday at target. I have been playing Mario non-stop since! One thing that I did find annoying was the start up time when you plug they system in. You have to go through a pretty tedious process to set up an account for their on-line features. I am a 25 year old man and I could hardly bare it. I can only image how a young kid would react. All in all I highly recommend the Wii U and especially the Mario Brothers game
Nov 25, 2012 | Infant motrin dosage for 2 month old
I consider myself a Nintendo person. I have owned every console from the original 1985 Nintendo to now the Wii U. What I love most about Nintendo is they always produce the most innovative and fun games. The Wii U is no different. If you are a Nintendo fan you will love the Wii U! :Smile:
Nov 24, 2012 | Super lavitra
Over all the new wii U is pretty good, and the games I have played so far (Nintendo Land, Mario & ZombiU) are fun. If you are a Nintendo person I am sure you will like the new Wii U. What did disappoint me though was the controller situation. To play most of the games you are going to need to also buy the pro controller to really get the most out of them. And of course it only comes with the classic controller and the gamePad. Out of every system I have ever owned, the Wii U is the first that does not come with the controller you need to play the games. If you are looking into purchasing a Wii U do yourself a favor and buy the Nintendo pro controller at the same time and save yourself the frustration I encountered.
Other than the controller issue, The system itself is imaginative and I do not have buyers remorse at all!

Interpreting Facial Expressions
Posted by The Situationist Staff on March 20, 2008
Del Jones of USA Today has an interesting piece on the research of Dan Hill, an expert in facial coding, a system of classifying hundreds of tiny muscle movements in the face. Below is a brief excerpt from the article as it pertains to the expressions of Senators Barrack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain.
* * *
"It is presidential season and Hill, president of Sensory Logic and author of a book about facial coding called Emotionomics: Winning Hearts and Minds, has been in demand to find clues in the faces of the candidates. John McCain forces smiles and, true to his reputation, angers easily, as demonstrated by puffed cheeks and a chin thrust upward in disgust, Hill says. Hillary Clinton smirks, an expression "she oddly enough shares with President Bush," which conveys an attitude of assurance bordering on superiority and smugness. Barack Obama has the best true smile, but flashes it rarely for someone who speaks of hope, and Hill sees flashes of disdain, aloofness, disappointment and exasperation."
To watch a video of Dan Hill's analysis of the smiles of several candidates, click on the video below.
* * *
Undoubtedly, people's facial expressions often speak louder than their words about their attitudes, emotions, and associations. And it is certainly the case that scientists are learning more every day about the sources and meaning of those facial expressions. Still, we have our doubts about the reliability Hill's process of facial-coding, particularly given his seeming readiness to reach firm conclusions about a given individual's stable preferences, emotional states, or attitudes through that process.

Facial expressions can doubtless provide insight into a person's emotional state, but these interpretations seem almost immediately skewed by the bias of the interpreter. How often a person who speaks of hope should flash a genuine smile, for example, is more a matter of opinion than it is of interpreting facial expression. And "smugness" is a particularly negative and highly subjective way to interpret a smirk. Still, simple observations such as McCain smiling when he's not really happy, or how quickly he angers can help observers spot a candidate's true position amid all the spin. Interesting way to read a person, but I'd always consider the reader.

An entry about facial expression decoding on the Situationist blog? Really? What approach to interpreting human behavior could be less situationist?
