Luxury smartphone concept by Mobiado and Aston Martin makes you wish it were real |
Mobiado and Aston Martin introduced their conceptual luxury mobile device at BaselWorld watch and jewelry expo in Switzerland. Codenamed CPT002, the design sports a transparent sapphire crystal touchscreen that will probably have the ability to become opaque on demand. If the concept is to become reality, all electroni... |
Besides being extremely beautiful, the CPT002 should also have the ability to lock and unlock your matching Aston Martin depending on how close to the vehicle it is. Furthermore, its tight integration with the car's computer is eminent and wil |
Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you? |
We all think of butternut squash as sweet and soft because we're so used to roasting it. But it's a snappy, tart surprise when pickled in crunchy little cubes. |
With winter squash in abundance in Upstate New York, Becky shares two recipes, sweet & savory pickled butternut squash. Water-bath canned & refrigerator methods are discussed & explained. A perfect unique edible gift. |
For ages, the goddess Nemesis has sought divine vengeance against mortal man, as she awaits her chance for retaliation against Mount Olympus. Now, after making a deal with a dark wizard, she has reinvented herself as a female spy with her own sinister agenda… |
Immortal warrior Kane Montague is as lethal as a Scorpion – like the one that marks his powerful form. As an assassin for MI-6, he was an ace gun-for-hire until someone very close burned him. Now on the outs with his former colleagues, Kane knows all too well who’s to blame: a sexy secret agent named Ilsa. |
When their paths cross again, the passion between Kane and Ilsa is irresistible…and possibly lethal. But they soon realize that Ilsa is simply a pawn in a conspiracy aimed at the heart of the Zodiac Warriors. Can Kane trust her? Or |

As always, Sporting News’ Field of 68 is a projection of what the NCAA Tournament selection committee would do based on what’s happened so far this season. |
Bubble watch: So many teams wasted opportunities this week. UMass hosted a stumbling Butler squad Thursday but never really challenged the Bulldogs in an 11-point loss. ... Kentucky has lost back-to-back games on the road; the 10-point loss at Georgia on Thursday was the Wildcats’ worst of the season, in terms of RPI. ... |

‘Lets walk the Mikvah in the city of the King' - City of David and Hezekiah's tunnel |
Walking in tunnels are exhilarating story reads and with a flashlight in hand, it feels like a Discovery or National Geographic. City of David and the Hezekiah's tunnel became a physical as well as a non-physical reality, for reasons, I learnt eventually. |
Then again, the reason had a season. And this was during my fourth visit to Israel. Past three visits, I have walked past the City of David admiring its entrance and even taking photographs with the golden harp, but never ventured within. This time with the group I was with had Ir David in the itinerary. Being the last... |
I would also like to add that 4 of those servers on a Dual Core machine would totally depend on the tickrate at which you are running the individual game servers at too. 33 tick would be no problem at all but if you were to start running them at 66 tick and they were all full at the same time (the same applies to 100ti... |
If I may, another point to note down is that the game times you are wanting to run dont always run smoothly at 100 tick anyway. So take into consideration the mods / plugins you will be running as these can greatly affect the performance of a server. |

Tips for Preventing Medicare Fraud |

A backyard mechanic identified by police this week as the Grim Sleeper serial killer had a lengthy criminal history stretching over four decades but was never sent to prison despite calls by law enforcement officials for tough sentences, according to Los Angeles County court records released Friday. |
Probation reports show that Lonnie David Franklin Jr. repeatedly cycled through the county's justice system years before he was charged this week with killing 10 women in South Los Angeles. |
Franklin was arrested at least 15 times for car theft, burglary, receiving stolen property, assaults, firearms possession and other crimes, the records show. In most cases, he avoided prosecution or was sent to jail and placed on probation even as law enforcement officers called him a serious criminal and ur |
Knowing what works and what doesn’t when it comes to your website is unfortunately not as clear-cut or straightforward as you’d like. There’s a lot of statistics and analytics involved, and frankly, going through the data in these kinds of reports takes a lot of time and as well we all know, time means money. |
Instead of putting together site reports and pouring through analytics data to find out why your conversion rates aren’t as high as they should be, you could consider doing some testing instead. |
A/B Testing versus Multivariate Testing |
There are a number of test methods that you can use for your site. The two most frequently used of these are A/B testing and multivariate testing. Both are similar in the sense that alternative options and variations of site elements are presented to sit |
I’ve a new release of NYTProf ready to upload but I’m stuck. |
The CPAN Testers service is reporting a failure on a number of systems but I can’t reproduce it locally or work out the cause. |
Can you reproduce the failure with Devel::NYTProf 2.07_94? If so, could you give me remote access via ssh? (Or spare some time to investigate yourself – I’ll happily clue you in if you can reproduce the problem.) |
Update: No one could reproduce it. It seems that the failures was not what it appeared to be. A clue was that only one tester was affected. Devel-NYTProf-2.07_94.tar.gz unpacked itself into a directory called Devel-NYTProf-2.07. It seems that when using CPANPLUS if the user had already got an old Devel-NYTProf-2.07 dir... |
