SSDS AND MOTHERBOARDS
It’s no secret that SSDs have been a major force in tech advance and the force in which they’ve impacted could never be covered in a single report. Eyeing the enthusiast or home user alone, SSDs are now a main staple of any PC build. They enable quicker PC start times, increase system performance and reduce scene transition times when gaming. Add to that characteristics such as less heat, less noise, better data protection as well as better battery life for laptop and ultra users.
Motherboard manufacturers have been relatively slow to adapt, and their reasoning that SSD progression just hasn’t slowed enough yet to grab hold, is valid. In just a few years we have seen consumer SSDs progress from the 3.5” desktop standard, to notebook, mSATA, PCIe and now we are about to experience the smallest form factor yet with the newest M.2 standard. Quite frankly, motherboard manufacturers find that just as they have been able to successfully incorporate one standard, the next appears. The fact that we were formerly limited to two Intel ports for full 500+ MB/s SSD performance didn’t help.
M.2 SSD IMPLEMENTATION
Perhaps the most recent example of how fast SSDs are pushing forward was evident in the ASUS Z87 Maximus VI motherboard where they incorporated a M.2 SSD adapter card with their 802.11ac Wifi. Not only did this rush solution only take advantage of a single PCIe lane, bottlenecking speeds at 5Gbps, but also, it could only fit M.2 SSDs of the 2240 size and, even then, installation was a very tricky experience. On the positive side of this, kudos to ASUS for putting that foot forward and being the first as that inspires competition and pushes innovation forward.
ASROCK AND THE MOBO WARS
Remembering a few years back, the top three were Asus, Gigabyte and ASRock, with Gigabyte being the OC lovers’ mobo. ASUS and ASRock have since maintained pace while Gigabytes popularity has declined significantly, MSI now pushing forward and gaining their ground in the motherboard space. Looking back, ASUS and ASRock were replacing their older BIOS with a UEFI graphical BIOS and Giga didn’t seem interested in this tech advance whatsoever. In our regular discussions with motherboard manufacturers, we had been saying for some time that the true leader would be defined by their ability to accommodate growing storage. Examining the ASRock Extreme 11 that we are taking a quick look at today, perhaps ASRock took note.
ASROCK Z87 EXTREME11/ac MOTHERBOARD
A quick look at the Extreme11 is all it takes to realize what ASRock had in mind with this motherboard. 16 SAS 12Gbps ports, 6 native Intel SATA ports, two mSATA and one eSATA port that connect to the Intel ports for top speeds, 2x ThunderBolt 2.0 ports and 12 x USB 3.0 ports make storage a main staple that will accommodate every storage need imaginable. Unlike so many other motherboards that have incorporated mSATA SSDs in caching scenarios, or maybe even as a SATA 2 after thought, ASRock ensures that mSATA and eSATA can be utilized with full chipset performance. No stone was left unturned with respect to storage means with this hardware.
That doesn’t include the long list of extras such as the ability to configure 4-way SLI/Crossfire setups through the 4 PCIe 3.0 x16 slots , 802.11ac wiFi for speeds up to 867Mbps, dual Intel Dual Gigabit LAN Ethernet, 4K compatibility, the ability to connect 3 monitors without the need of a Gfx card, as well as a Wi-SD box that contains 4 additional USB 3.0 ports, a SD card reader, stores the wiFi antennas and can even be used for SSD storage. These are only a handful of the included features.
16 X SAS-3 12GB/S CONNECTORS
This feature alone is a storage guys dream but we have to say that, if you can afford the 8x12Gb/s SSDs that can be accommodated in the Extreme11, you probably aren’t looking at a typical retail motherboard. Through use of the LSI SAS 3008 controller, ASRock can reach speeds of 6.1GB/s through 8 12Gb/s SSDs, or split that with the 3x24R to accommodate up to 16 SATA 3 SSDs. That brings the grand total of system capable SATA 3 SSDs to 22. If you check our LSI SAS 9300-8e HBA Controller Review, you will learn a great deal about ASRock Extreme11 storage capabilities.
6X INTEL Z87 CONNECTORS
Having this many connectors capable of full Intel Z87 performance is great. It has been too long that we have been restricted to two Intel ports, only to have additional SATA 3 ports bottlenecked because of the ASMedia or Marvel chip used to accommodate secondary storage. There is good and bad to this, depending on how you see it.
For instance, there are two mSATA connectors that are capable of full Intel Intel Z87 performance, but to do this, it means that we are tapping into Intel ports 2 and 4. Conversely, eSATA is also capable of full performance but it taps into the 5th Intel port. Simply put, it is either/or with respect to both mSATA and eSATA but this is definitely not a negative whatsoever with 6 Intel ports available.


I get to my sisters and the kids are running all over Boo Boo's giving me attitude but I just ignore it. Stinky is playing games when he should be doing homework. I'm told by Boss Man(sisters soon to be husband) that Stinky is to clean up and do homework. Great here comes mean Lala. My sister loves to make me the evil one but it gets results, sometimes. I get the word I'm watching all four kids tonight...FML. 'Let the insanity begin!'
The insanity starts before they even leave Boo Boo is yelling at me because 'Daddy didn't let her watch a game'. Somehow this is my fault. Stinky is trying to pass off three sentences as a short story as I'm trying to help him Doodle comes running by crying that he doesn't want to go to bed(day light saving time enough said). Well, after much yelling and 5 counts Doodle and Boo Boo got in bed.
Great now just Stinky and Baby its going to be easy all I have to do is put a new butt on Baby and get Stinky to write a paper. NOT easy Baby eats his carrot nastyness too fast and I don't want to feed him more Cici Mia might want to top him off when she gets home. So, he's crying and I can't stop him Stinky is over at the table yelling at Baby and me and just pissed that he doesn't understand the homework. I had enough with Stinky's yelling and him cutting me off when I'm trying to help him.
"STINK (ADD MIDDLE AND LAST NAME HERE) I'VE HAD ENOUGH. YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME AND STOP TALKING I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU!" Now if you HAVE ever heard me yell you know that its loud and sometimes scary. Tonight was just the same. Stinky starts crying that I scared him and I told him that I was sorry and that he had to listen because I was trying to help him. Well, after I got him settled Baby started up again. FML...so I go in the playroom where it is kind of dark and start rocking him. That didn't work so I started to sign, great now the years in chorus can pay off. They didn't they just messed me up I couldn't think of any baby lullaby's. So, I start singing Silent Night in German. It worked! He started to clam down at which point Stinky started up again! Now, he's just yelling I can't take two crying babies so I send Stinky to bed and tell him he'll have to finish the rest of the work later in the week.
Thank God I got just one crying baby to worry about and Silent Night is still working slowly I make my way to his room and lay him down.
YAY no kids! BUT wait! I go in the boys room to get Stinky so we can work a little more on the paper and Doodle is playing with a doll house on the floor. I put him in bed then check on BooBoo. I head towards her room and see no nothing on her bed. 'OH CRAP where did she go?' I ask myself.
"Now, where in the world are you BooBoo??" I call out.
And in a sweet little voice she answers "Taking a POOP Lala!" Oh, I'm guessing I should have known!

Congratulations to Hospice and Palliative Care Visionaries
Today, we join the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM) in recognizing 30 of the most influential individuals in hospice and palliative medicine. These accomplished leaders, physicians, nurses, researchers and advocates were named the 2013 Hospice and Palliative Medicine Visionaries in commemoration of the AAHPM’s 25th anniversary.
MyDirectives shares the Academy’s appreciation in honoring these inspiring professionals. For instance, Dr. David McGrew, as a member of the Florida Legislature’s Panel for the Study of End of Life Care, helped change laws regarding advance directives, do not resuscitate orders and professional education. Dr. Susan Block, Chair of the Department of Psychosocial Oncology and Palliative Care at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, has committed her distinguished career to “improving communications about end-of-life care, enhancing advance care planning and focusing on goal-consistent care, through research and professional and public education.”
We thank these visionaries for their demonstrated passion to both alleviating the pain associated with “the physical, psychological, spiritual and practical burdens of serious illness” at the end of life as well as their commitment to “helping families navigate the complex healthcare system.”
These aims of improving end-of-life care communications and advance care planning are exactly what MyDirectives is all about. By proviidng a free online service for creating advance medical directives, we emphasize addressing medical care decision-making and planning before you become a patient.
Congratulations to all the winners and to the thousands of other caring professionals whose work is recognized not by awards, but by the rewardsof smiles, hugs and satisfaction from families and loved ones for a job well done. Thank you all for all you do! Learn about all 30 AAHPM Visionaries!


I arrived back in Melbourne this morning from four days in Kuala Lumpur with two work colleagues. Our flight arrived at the gate on time but we were kept from disembarking for over fifteen minutes while the aerobridge operator tried to maneuver the aerobridge to the plane door. Their poor efforts were watched by the planeload of people desperate for fresh air after a long flight. As seems to be usual with these things there were plenty of experts at the aerobridge with advice watching on but no one able to get it close to the plane. Once they did dock we heard one of them explain that the problem was that this aerobridge was too close to the second aerobridge at the gate and that’s why they could not get it closer. “We’ll know next time” they were heard to say. Okay but Tullamarine has been operating for decades.
Finally off the plane we were greeted with a mass of people at the Customs/Immigration counter waiting to be processed through. The line for foreign passport handlers was okay, it was the Australian passport line which snaked way back past the duty free store. I travel internationally frequently and this is the longest line I have ever seen at Melbourne Airport Immigration. Another 45 minute wait was much appreciated after a long flight and the long wait for the aerobridge to reach the plane. What frustrated the most was the number of Customs officers standing to the side or behind the desks looking on. They did not seem to be playing any role other than sharing anecdotes with each other. It would have been great to have more than four or five desks open. They seemed to have no plan for coping with the volume of passengers. The line was a mosh pit toward the back with no regulation. In most other countries this is handled much better.
While waiting for my 60 seconds at the Customs/Immigration desk I witnessed a Customers officer demean an Asian passenger. It was indiscrete behavior which deserved to result in a reprimand.
All in all not a good experience this morning at Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport. It makes me wonder how they will cope with the Commonwealth Games travel influx in a few weeks. Based on today’s experience, Melbourne Airport needs to be avoided.


ARTICLE MARKETING,,,THINGS NEEDED TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.
Marketing your articles through a newsletter can be an excellent idea with the right plan in motion.
Can somebody ask me why?
Because You will need a client base and this could be past clients, friends or blog subscribers. The downside to article marketing through newsletters, is that more time is spent on this method than with other methods, simply because you have to design a template, mail them out (snail mail or email) as well as create and format all content.
The biggest benefit to newsletters is that you are delivering yourself straight to the readers mailbox; if you are persistent and consistent some of those newsletter will be read and in return, drive people to your website. You can make all that hard work pay off, by checking out this article and following these important tips.
Keep your content current and make sure that older content is timeless. While things change all the time, try adding an updated link to old articles. If visitors find old articles first with outdated information, they can find the current version easily through your implemented link.
Take advantage of having options on your site that allow readers to organize articles by most recent and by related content.
A great way to market your blog on the internet is by submitting articles to other websites under your "nom de plume." The significance is two-fold: first, you will build your reputation as an expert in your field. Second, if readers become fans of your articles on one site, they will eventually migrate to your blog to read more of your content.
- Don't fake it! If you are going to write a review of a product, test it first. Readers will be able to tell you are lying and if they can't, they will certainly know when their experiences are nothing like yours. If you are dishonest, you will lose the customers you worked so hard to gain.
Add links to your article. In every article you write, you should include both a link to your websites homepage, as well as a deep link to other relevant information on your site. These will give the readers a way to find you, and the other information they may be interested in, with a minimum amount of fuss.
Keep your reader's attention span in mind. No one likes to read an article with paragraphs that just drone on and on. Perfect this by making sure to keep every paragraph at under six sentences. If you need to say more about something, simply start a new one. This will keep your article from getting bogged down.
- As you gain confidence with the article marketing process, set a realistic but challenging goal for your pace of article production. There is no golden figure that you must achieve. Balance your available time, your writing prowess and your other commitments to settle on a article-writing schedule you can maintain without sacrificing article quality.
- If you are having trouble organizing your articles and getting them read, employ the tried-and-true list format. Articles arranged as lists have proven to be extremely popular and effective on the internet. The structure is an easy one for writers to work with. Readers respond well to list-type articles. Lists keep article paragraphs short and punchy - ideal for online writing.
- Be sure that the writing that you are publishing is well edited. It can mean the difference between return readers and those who will never come to read the information that you have on your site. These writings are going to be seen all over the web and will have your site tied to them.
- A great tip to use if you're writing a lot of content is to write it all first and walk away, instead of writing and editing as you go along. Write your content, let it hang around for a day or two without viewing it, and then go back with fresh eyes to carefully edit it. This way, you're not likely to miss the obvious mistakes.
- Generate content for advertisements and articles, by requesting interviews with respected individuals who are familiar with your industry. With their permission, convert the interview into an article formal that can be submitted to online publications or published to your own website. For added impact, make the piece a regular feature and include a rotating cast of experts and professionals, who can attest to your brand's quality.
- Once the early stages of an article marketing effort are complete, the article writer should be able to gauge the language style and overall education of his or her target audience. Authors that match their own writing style to suit the communications skills of their audiences will produce more popular, more effective articles.
- Before submitting your online articles, you should always read your articles out loud. This is done to ensure you do not make any spelling or grammar mistakes. You do not want to submit an article with spelling or grammar mistakes because these will cause you to lose credibility with your readers.
- A great tip when promoting your online articles is to make an offsite directory of your articles by using sites such as Squidoo or HubPages. People who may not know about your articles will see your articles on these particular directories, which will draw even more potential readers to you.
- If it takes you a long time to write an article, consider paying someone to write it for you. Although article marketing is very effective and can lead to a lots of sales and orders, your time is valuable and if it is taking you hours and hours to write articles, you may find yourself working for less than minimum wage.
In conclusion, as mentioned above article marketing through a newsletter can be tough and chances are that you will have to wait a little while to see the results of your effort. Just give it time and send great quality content to the right people and it will work for you. This is only one of many ways to market articles, so do a little research as well.


U.S. Senate Retains Affirmative Action Transportation Contracts
The U.S. Senate voted 58 to 37 against a proposal that would have eliminated the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program from a bill authorizing transportation projects for the next six years. The DBE requires that at least 10 percent of highway construction contracts be awarded to companies owned by women and minorities. Since the inception of the program in the 1970’s contracts awarded to women and minorities have increased from 2 to 15 percent, according to Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.).
The proposal to drop the program was sponsored by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who stated that the program was “unfair, unconstitutional, and just plain un-American.”
Supporters of the program claim that it is constitutional and essential to eliminating discrimination in the construction industry. Minority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.) said McConnell’s proposal was a “clear demonstration” of why the Republican party has difficulty attracting women and minorities.

Taunts are just such an important part of the game, right? They're just so…you know, personal.
Want to make them even more personal? Developer Gearbox Software is giving you that opportunity, as they've announced a new contest for their upcoming MOBA-like shooter, Battleborn .
This contest tasks you with creating your very own taunt for the game; you submit a short video of yourself performing this maneuver (via YouTube, Instagram, Vine, etc.) and a team from Gearbox will then determine a winner based on "creativity, originality, and presentation that captures the essence of the characters in Battleborn ." Of course, this taunt can't contain any copyrighted materials or inappropriate or indecent content. If you want more details, read the official rules .
Battleborn is slated to launch in February for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It'll boast 25 playable heroes and while the story mode does support solo play, multiplayer via split-screen and online co-op is obviously encouraged.

The myth that marriage eliminates the need for wills and powers of attorney is one that I hear frequently. And I cringe every time because it is so patently false. My standard retort is, “So you think that millions of married couples have been signing wills for centuries and powers of attorney for decades just for the fun of it?” Of course marriage brings many rights and protections, but there are three big holes in this thinking.
1. You need a will because if one of you dies, the other may not inherit everything. The state in which you live (or the District) has laws to ensure that a surviving spouse will inherit something, but there are a variety of circumstances in which that amount can be less than 100% if there isn’t a will. Did your spouse have children? Are your spouse’s parents still alive? If the answer is yes to either question, you will not inherit 100% of your deceased spouse’s assets. In Virginia, the surviving spouse may only receive 1/3 of the assets if there are children from a prior relationship. And while we’re talking about children, it’s also important to understand that minors cannot inherit anything directly. If money is left to them when they are under 18, a court-appointed guardian will be required to take control of those assets. Then, regardless of how much money may be involved, the children will get it all on the day they turn 18. Of course, a properly drafted will can prevent these problems.
2. Although this is difficult to think about, being married only provides protections if your spouse is alive at the time you die. If he or she is not, and you die without a will, the fact that you were previously married becomes irrelevant. You will be treated as though you were single. In that event, various family members will inherit all of your assets, whether you are close to them or estranged, whether they need those assets or not, and regardless of whether you had other plans. I’ve seen situations in which couples spent a lifetime accumulating valuable artwork and antiques along with significant amounts of money all of which went to distant relatives, rather than to the persons or organizations that the couple actually cared about.
3. All couples need powers of attorney, married or not. Sure, even if you don’t have a medical power of attorney, your spouse will be able to make medical decisions for you. But what if they can’t? A good medical power of attorney will grant the same rights to other trusted people if your spouse cannot take care of you. What’s more, if you become incapacitated, there will be hundreds of other necessary decisions that have nothing to do with medical care. That’s where a financial power of attorney comes in. For instance, nobody gets the right to access your solely owned assets automatically, not even a spouse. Who will pay the bills, manage your money, take care of your home, and take care of your spouse? This power of attorney grants important, broad rights to your spouse and perhaps other people that you trust to manage all of your assets when you cannot.
So remember: a marriage certificate is not a free pass. You still need well-constructed wills and powers of attorney to make sure things work just the way you want them to.

A university in Michigan is offering a degree in marijuana that goes beyond simply classes related to cannabis, more evidence that MJ is being recognized as a mainstream industry.
Northern Michigan University in Marquette began its medical plant chemistry program this semester, with about a dozen students in the first class, the Detroit Free Press reported. The program combines chemistry, biology, botany, horticulture, marketing and finance.
Brandon Canfield, an associate chemistry professor at Northern Michigan, said students won’t grow marijuana plants in the program, but instead look to other plants that are traditionally recognized with medicinal value but aren’t illegal to cultivate.
Students learn how to measure and extract the compounds in the plants that can be used for medicinal purposes, then transfer that knowledge to marijuana, which has been used to treat a variety of illnesses.
University officials say the program fills a need because 30 states have legalized medical marijuana, along with eight states where marijuana is also legal for recreational use.

"We are in the heart of the storm right now in downtown Boston", said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Dave Samhuel at 4 p.m. "Snow is falling 3-4 inches per hour as we're at the peak of the storm".
With wind gusts predicted to reach 35 miles per hour in some areas, and even higher speeds towards the Cape, Doody said power outages could be expected. Parts of central Pennsylvania had already picked up 8 inches early Thursday, with northern Jersey hit with up to five inches, The Weather Channel reported.
Winter Storm Niko, as the Weather Channel has dubbed the nor'easter, is now bearing down on New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia. The risky storm is intensifying as rush hour begins, bringing whiteout conditions and high wind.
People who stood at banks will now queue to reject BJP: Akhilesh

Winter storm Niko first crept into western MA at 5 a.m., and by 9 p.m. should be headed out to sea. Long Island, where residents could experience whiteout conditions for at least three straight hours, is expected to get the worst of it.
"The snow is becoming very powdery, causing snow to drift all over the place", said Samhuel.
The storm Thursday came a day after temperatures soared into the 50s and 60s, giving millions of people a taste of spring.

The powerful, fast-moving storm blew into the MA area early Thursday, making the morning commute treacherous for thousands.
"We were waiting for a good one all year", said Morgan Crum, a manager at Katz Ace Hardware in Glastonbury, Connecticut, where more than 50 people stopped in to buy shovels, ice melt, gas cans and other storm provisions. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said earlier Thursday that the almost 700 cancellations there amounted to 60 percent of the airport's flights.

I think you may find good sources for anthrax in Kruger National Park
in Afrika. The highest genetic diversity is found there suggesting it
to be the place of origin.
Otherwise you might want to search the literature. It won't live
between the pages, but it is amazing what people publish.
Optimized production and purification of Bacillus anthracis lethal
Bacillus anthracis lethal factor (LF) is a 90-kDa zinc metalloprotease
that plays an important role in the virulence of the organism. LF has
previously been purified from Escherichia coli and Bacillus anthracis,
The yields and purities of these preparations were inadequate for
crystal structure determination. In this study, the genes encoding wild-
type LF and a mutated, inactive LF (LF-E687C) were placed in an E. coli-
Bacillus shuttle vector so that LF was produced with the protective
antigen (PA) signal peptide at its N-terminus. The resulting vectors,
pSJ115 and pSJ121, express wild-type and mutated LF fusion proteins,
respectively. Expression of the LF genes is under the control of the PA
promoter and, during secretion, the PA signal peptide is cleaved to
release the 90-kDa LF proteins. The wild-type and mutated LF proteins
were purified from the culture medium using three chromatographic steps
(Phenyl-Sepharose, Q-Sepharose, and hydroxyapatite). The purified
proteins were greater than 95% pure and yields (20-30 mg/L) were higher
than those obtained in other expression systems (1-5 mg/L). These
proteins have been crystallized and are being used to solve the crystal
structure of LF. Their potential use in anthrax vaccines is also
discussed. (C) 2000 Academic Press.

Visionaries often talk about the time when we'll move into space, colonizing the moon or nearby planets.
We won't merely be colonizing those planets, though, with people and animals; we'll likely pack a lot of earth stuff in the various rocket-ready trunks. And high on the valuable earth-stuff list? "Star Trek" stuff.
We know, we know, there are other thriving fandoms in pop culture, but Trekkers know how to collect and collect well. And we strongly suspect that when the day comes for earthlings to venture into space that vintage tricorders from the original 1966 "Star Trek" run and Spock ears and Enterprise models will be carefully packed on some of the first rockets to leave.
If you have always wanted to own something from the original series, or one of the later "Star Trek" ventures, your moment is nigh, Starfleet fan: Premiere Props is set to auction several goodies on Saturday, June 15.
Those intergalactic-styled goodies include an actual Tribble (nope, it isn't alive, nor was it ever -- spoiler alert), phasers and tricorders from the original series, Uhura's pen from the original series, and several "Next Generation" finds, including a uniform worn by Data.
Which makes us wonder if whoever bids and wins that uniform shouldn't just put it on when the day arrives when we earthlings leave to colonize the cosmos.
You'll totally want to wear your Starfleet jumpsuit when exiting the ionosphere, right? Find it, and other Trekkian tidbits of worth, in El Segundo. Or just check out the page here and bid from afar.
"Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry got so many things right, but definitely our ability to communicate across vast distances via screens. Well played, Mr. Roddenberry.

I made this rainbow log cabin lap quilt last weekend. I used a pattern from a quilting magazine - I will cite the source when it's all finished. I am surprised this is the first rainbow-quilt I have made, as I definitely love lots and lots of color. I am please with how it came out - the grey is symbolic of clouds and sky.Tula Pink Sew Along. I am using a pattern from her book called Dream Weaver.
I also couldn't resist this antique-looking toy crib to give to Charlotte someday. (It was only $3, so I really doubt it was anything special). Can you imagine the cuteness of placing a Wee Wonderfuls-like doll along with a sweet doll quilt in there!? I am so happy I had a little girl!


Because Audi was only offering e-tron drives in Abu Dhabi, we elected to accept paid flights and two nights in a hotel in order to attend this event, rather than having to wait at least six months to drive the vehicle.
In the wake of its emissions scandal, Volkswagen Group has been on a mission to reinvent itself. After staking its reputation on diesel, the German automaker has conducted a volte face; electricity is now the future. It's spending billions on developing new battery electric vehicle platforms, billions building a US network of high-speed chargers, and has committed billions more to lock up battery supplies. And now, finally, the first of these efforts has begun to bear fruit.
Behold, the first—but definitely not the last—battery electric vehicle from VW Group. One that has been designed from the ground up to be powered by electrons: the Audi e-tron. We got our first good look at a flashy launch event in San Francisco this past September, and now we've finally had a chance to drive it. After 24 hours on plane after plane, we put the e-tron through its paces on and off the roads. Along the way, we confirmed some of our preconceptions about this new BEV and busted others.
There's no denying this electric SUV is clever, as is the way it has been positioned in the market. As with any electric car, it won't be for everyone. And boy was I wrong about what many of us thought would be the car's coolest new technology. Here's what we learned.
Under the skin, its an Audi
Every few months it seems like I'm writing about yet another new electric VW named I.D. something-or-other that uses VW Group's new MEB electric vehicle architecture. Forget all about MEB when it comes to the e-tron, because MEB is for smaller vehicles. Within the corporate behemoth that is the VW Group, Audi is taking the lead for larger electric vehicles (like this one and Porsche's soon-to-arrive Taycan sedan), and for now it will use a modified version of the same MLB Evo vehicle architecture that provides the building blocks for cars and SUVs like the A8, Q7, Panamera, and so on.
All the suspension pickup points are the same as any other MLB Evo vehicle, as is the internal electronic architecture (infotainment as well as driver assists) and the climate control system. But obviously there are some differences. Instead of an internal combustion engine, each axle sports its own asynchronous electric motor, each of which features a cooling lance running through it. At the front, this is parallel to the axle, but forget about a massively roomy "frunk"; much of the space under the hood is taken up by the cooling system, power electronics, and onboard AC charger. At the rear, the motor is coaxially mounted for better packaging and 50:50 weight distribution.
Total power and torque output is 355hp (265kW) and 413lb-ft (561Nm) in normal conditions, which can increase to 402hp (300kW) and 490lb-ft (664Nm) for short bursts—about eight seconds—when the e-tron is in its sportiest setting. (The front motor is rated at 168hp at 182lb-ft (125kW at 247Nm), boosted to 181hp and 228lb-ft (135kW and 309Nm), the rear normally provides 188hp (140kW) at 232lb-ft (314Nm) but can boost to 221hp (165kW) and 221hp (355Nm)).
The battery positioning follows standard BEV protocol and is located between the axles and underneath the passenger compartment. It's built up like a sandwich, starting at the bottom with a 3.5mm aluminum protection plate. Next is the liquid cooling system, then a housing tray, and on top of that the cell modules—36 in all. Each module contains 12 flexible 60Ah cell pouches, and individual modules can be replaced if necessary. A very sturdy battery frame surrounds the modules and battery pack to provide crash protection.
Above the cells is another aluminum cover, then the battery junction box at the front, and another set of three more battery modules at the rear. The battery is rated at 95kWh with a nominal voltage of 396V. That gives the e-tron a WLTP-determined range of 248.5 miles (400km), although Audi is still waiting for the more accurate EPA rating to be determined. The pack is warrantied for eight years or 100,000 miles, and Audi says it is guaranteed to maintain at least 70 percent of its capacity at the eight-year mark.
The looks wont scare anyone
When Audi set out to make its first proper BEV, the goal was first and foremost for it to fit into the lineup without scaring anyone off. So forget the highly aerodynamic "bar of soap" look of a Tesla or the futuristic approach Jaguar took with the I-Pace; squint and the e-tron could be a Q8. It has been positioned in the market as such, too; a five-seat SUV—critical for US sales—that's a segment size smaller than the seven-seat Tesla Model X and, similarly, a segment size larger than either the I-Pace or Mercedes-Benz' EQC.
To get specific, the e-tron is 193 inches (4,901mm) long, 76 inches (1,935mm) wide, and 64 inches (1,616mm) high, with a 115-inch (2,928mm) wheelbase. A Model X is 198 inches long, 82 inches wide, 66 inches tall, and has a 117-inch wheelbase, and an I-Pace measures 184 inches long, 75 inches wide, 61 inches tall, with a 118-inch wheelbase.
The design is more aerodynamic than your usual Audi SUV fare, though. There's an air curtain at the front to channel air down the sides and away from the turbulent chaotic mess that normally happens when rotating wheels meet the airflow. The wheel designs are aero-optimized. The front air intake inside the corporate Audi grill is an active design that can close for better aero efficiency when needed. Under the vehicle there are splitters ahead of the front wheels, a dimpled underbody cover beneath the battery, front and rear underbody spoilers, and rear-axle Gurney flaps. The most noticeable concession to cutting drag are those side view cameras—you know, the ones we won't get here in the US. But more of those later. Overall, this gives the e-tron a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.27, or 0.28 in US-spec with conventional reflective side mirrors.
On the inside, everything is as you'd expect from an Audi, which means top-notch craftsmanship and a restrained elegance. The seats are comfortable, and the black panel dash hides the two-screen infotainment system when it's turned off. It's the latest version of MMI, and while it remains (in our opinion) the best infotainment system on the market, if I'm being completely honest I think Audi has gone for too light a font (i.e. how thick the lines are on each character). I'm sure that UI decision was made as a result of switching to higher resolution screens. The top screen is where most of the infotainment functions live, a 10.1-inch, 1,540×720 pixel touchscreen. Below it is an 8.6-inch, 1,280×660 touchscreen that is the permanent home of the climate settings. Both screens also feature haptic feedback, which should allow e-tron owners to develop some muscle memory for eyes-off operation.
Ahead of the driver is a third digital display, the latest evolution of Audi's Virtual Cockpit tech. Again, this remains my favorite implementation of a digital instrument display—so far only Audi seems to be thinking outside of the rectangular box to fill the entire binnacle.

Norm Hewitt, one of the winningest high school baseball coaches in state history, will leave Hillsborough High to become the pitching coach at Drew University in Madison.
"We could not be more excited for coach Hewitt to join our staff," Drew head coach Brian Hirschberg said in a release on the school’s site announcing the hire. "He brings a tremendous amount of knowledge about pitching. One of the things I like most about him is he's in it for the right reasons. He wants to help young people grow, succeed and achieve at a high level. He's going to fit our system and staff perfectly."
Hewitt, who is on vacation, confirmed the move.
One of the state’s preeminent authorities on pitching, Hewitt posted a career record of 631-326 in 42 seasons as a high school mentor at three schools. He led Bridgewater-Raritan West to the Group 2 state championship in 1989 and Hillsborough to the Group 4 title in 2005, earning Star-Ledger State Coach of the Year honors for both seasons. Hewitt also led Hillsborough to a Group 4 final appearance in 2012.
Hewitt, who also coached at Bridgewater-Raritan after West consolidated with Bridgewater East, was The Star-Ledger’s Somerset County coach of the year this past season after leading Hillsborough to its second Somerset County Tournament title in three years – Hewitt’s seventh all-time SCT crown.
Hewitt was Drew’s head coach for one season in 1981, leading the school to a 17-7 record. He was also previously the pitching coach at Rutgers.


This story was published by The Ypsilanti Daily Press on Saturday, January 18, 1930.
Platt, Mich, Jan. 18,--country gentlemen go to New York, buy the Brooklyn Bridge and then tell the prosecuting attorney about it. H. E. Losey brought the community waiting room here. Now he is telling the Eastern Michigan Railway Company about it.
The building, the proudest possession of Platt community, was equally attractive to Mr. Losey and he had a gratifying picture of it in his mind’s eye as a gasoline station at the Ann Arbor airport. The railway company agreed that it would make an excellent gasoline station and a transfer was effected.
When Mr. Losey came out to devise a method of removing the heavy tile roof without marring the beauty of the structure he was startled to find a sheriff’s order saying that the building was the property of the community and stating the penalty for anyone molesting it.
A few moments later he could be seen in a dejected attitude at the general store with a mental picture of the beautiful gasoline station glimmering away as residents consolingly told him that maybe he did buy a building from the railway company after all and that maybe it was one down in the middle of George Klager’s fields, one that could be easily accommodated on a small truck. This building a wooden one that had seen veteran service almost since the Detroit, Jackson and Chicago Railway had its beginning was replaced four or five years ago by the almost fireproof structure which so appealed to Mr. Losey. It was originally donated by Mr. Klager and erected by farmers living in the neighborhood.
The new station was built by residents from material donated by residents from material donated by Ann Arbor and Detroit building firms and was designed by an architectural firm in Ann Arbor.
It is one of the most distinguishing features of the Packard Road community of approximately 70 residents and, while the electric line was in operation was referred to as , “Platt Union Station.”
Finally convinced that the station was not his Mr. Losey told the Railway Company about it and after some research the company agreed. Arrangements are being made for the return of his money.


Here's a quick primer on the vocabulary to help you describe your allergy-related triggers, signs and treatments.
Allergies result from your immune system's overreaction to allergens (substances that trigger allergies, such as dust, pollen and pet dander). During an allergic reaction your body releases histamines (inflammation-causing chemicals).
Allergens commonly trigger allergic rhinitis, aka hay fever (swollen nasal membranes typically caused by airborne substances such as pollen and dust); sinusitis (inflamed/infected sinuses); and skin allergies ( rashes and hives caused by allergens that touch your skin or by another type of allergic reaction that manifests on the skin).
Some allergic reactions can be life threatening, such as asthma (which causes breathing difficulties due to inflamed airways) and anaphylaxis (which causes breathing difficulties and reduced blood pressure, and requires immediate medical attention to prevent shock or death).
The vast majority of people who react adversely to certain foods have food intolerance and not a food allergy, notes MayoClinic.com. A food allergy causes tingling in the mouth; swelling of the lips, face, tongue and throat; hives; breathing difficulty; dizziness, and/or fainting. But some food allergy symptoms overlap with food intolerance symptoms: nausea, vomiting, cramping and diarrhea.

Sending So Much Love and Light To You


On the seventh day of Christmas, Australian Bush Flower Essences gave to me… Paw Paw (Carica papaya).
Whenever you are exposed to a long-string of situations and events where you are outside of your normal routine, it is very easy to start to feel a little overwhelmed and sometimes even unwell. Unusual bedtimes, rich foods, alcohol and excessive socialising can all take their toll on you, and Christmas is a time for all of these possibilities and more.
Today’s featured Australian Bush Flower Essence, Paw Paw, is the perfect Essence to deal with the issue of excessive intake of food or new experiences and can help you to absorb the nutrients and events that you want to, and discard the rest. It is to be expected that you can start to feel sluggish, tired, low on energy and not functioning as well as normal when your body is pushed to the hilt, without your normal diet and activity levels which it grows accustomed to (especially if your diet and health regime is normally one full of nutrients and moderation!).
So today we are going to take a look at a few ways that Paw Paw Essence can help you to overcome any digestion and information overload problems and also help you deal with all the new experiences you are exposed to during the festive season.
- Dealing with seasonal overwhelm: As much as we enjoy socialising with others, eating out at exotic restaurants and keeping late hours during the festive season, all these aspects can cause great levels of stress to the mind and body. Enjoyed in moderation, of course, all of these activities provide great enjoyment and create wonderful memories for us. But how do we know when is enough and which events we should miss? Paw Paw Essence can help you to be true to your own physical limits by aiding you with: the physical digestion of the foods you are enjoying; the rollercoaster-ride of emotions that you may experience via your interactions with people you love, people you dislike and people you may not have seen all year; the mental processing of all the unusual and unique experiences you may enjoy during your gatherings; and also the foreign locations you encounter during any international travels. By using Paw Paw Essence you may find that you maintain your normal levels of health, feel much more your ‘usual’ self and actually stay physically well enough to enjoy all the experiences you have planned this Christmas.
- Staying on course and true to your plans:Paw Paw Essence is a wonderful remedy for getting in touch with your ‘higher self’ (or whatever you prefer to call your ‘higher levels’ of wisdom or intuition) when wanting to make decisions from a deeper perspective. This can be very helpful at this time of year, as it may enable you to better experience the things you have planned, while skipping the events that may not quite resonate with you. It can also help you to stay true to your visions, ideas and perceptions through all the additional information you can find ‘coming at you’ during the festive season.
- ‘Digesting’ only the things you want to: As you would well be aware, the Christmas season usually comes ‘armed’ with an onslaught of information from the media about what you should be buying, who you should be partying with, how you should be making your house look and what sorts of gifts you should be giving. To take all of this information in and survive to tell the story would be a true Christmas miracle! Paw Paw Essence can help you to only absorb and ‘digest’ the information you were actually seeking and the things that you do want to retain in your mind. It is a key Essence for learning (you will most commonly find this Essence within the ‘Cognis’ combination made by Australian Bush Flower Essences) and one of the reasons it is so useful is because it helps you work out what you do want to learn and retain, and effectively allows you to discard the excess information that wasn’t for you.
With a little help from Paw Paw Essence, this Christmas will see you ‘digesting’ not only the rich foods, but also taking from your experiences the things you want to retain and remember – leaving you with a happier, more manageable festive season and a better start to the New Year.
Tune into tomorrow’s installment for an Essence that can help you achieve better levels of balance this festive season: inside and out! Don’t miss out on any of the Essences by subscribing to my blog here.
Floral blessings to you,

In all the reviews of this single, I notice a slight confusion regarding the A/B side thing, which isn’t that surprising actually, considering the band name and the non-suggestive duplicate cover artwork …
… BUT, if you’re a detail freak, as much as you’re a ‘60s beat freak (which I assume, if you plan to get this one), then you should take a better look at the vinyl itself, which will make it clear that the above sequencing is the right one.
Anyway, none of it really matters, since you’ll be flipping it so many times, that after a while you’ll forget which one came first. The A-Sides are a bunch of moptopped Americans (from Philadelphia), re-creating the British way of re-creating the American rhythm’n’blues in the early sixties.
While both songs sound like genuine Brit-beat-boom artifacts, Seeing Suzy provides a bit adventurous freakbeat action and Going Gone, with it’s opening guitar-line leading the way towards “Clarksville” via an early Kinky r’n’beat, is something of a “garage bubblegum”prototype.
Let’s hope it won’t take too long until they come up with the long player … a double A-side LP anyone?
[Released by Prison Jazz 2003]


From this half-painful, half-pleasurable retrospect he was aroused by the loud blast of a trumpet, thrice blown. A recapitulation of his offences, together with his sentence, was read by a herald, after which the reversed blazonry was fastened upon the door of the hall, just below a stone escutcheon on which was carved the arms of the family; while the paper mitre was torn and trampled under foot, the lathen crosier broken in twain, and the scurril banner hacked in pieces.
While this degrading act was performed, a man in a miller’s white garb, with the hood drawn over his face, forced his way towards the tumbrel, and while the attention of the guard was otherwise engaged, whispered in Paslew’s ear,
“Ey han failed i’ mey scheme, feyther abbut, boh rest assured ey’n avenge you. Demdike shan ha’ mey Sheffield thwittle i’ his heart ’efore he’s a day older.”
“The wizard has a charm against steel, my son, and indeed is proof against all weapons forged by men,” replied Paslew, who recognised the voice of Hal o’ Nabs, and hoped by this assertion to divert him from his purpose.
“Ha! say yo so, feythur abbut?” cried Hal. “Then ey’n reach him wi’ summot sacred.” And he disappeared.
At this moment, word was given to return, and in half an hour the cavalcade arrived at the abbey in the same order it had left it.
Though the rain had ceased, heavy clouds still hung overhead, threatening another deluge, and the aspect of the abbey remained gloomy as ever. The bell continued to toll; drums were beaten; and trumpets sounded from the outer and inner gateway, and from the three quadrangles. The cavalcade drew up in front of the great northern entrance; and its return being announced within, the two other captives were brought forth, each fastened upon a hurdle, harnessed to a stout horse. They looked dead already, so ghastly was the hue of their cheeks.
The abbot’s turn came next. Another hurdle was brought forward, and Demdike advanced to the tumbrel. But Paslew recoiled from his touch, and sprang to the ground unaided. He was then laid on his back upon the hurdle, and his hands and feet were bound fast with ropes to the twisted timbers. While this painful task was roughly performed by the wizard’s two ill-favoured assistants, the crowd of rustics who looked on, murmured and exhibited such strong tokens of displeasure, that the guard thought it prudent to keep them off with their halberts. But when all was done, Demdike motioned to a man standing behind him to advance, and the person who was wrapped in a russet cloak complied, drew forth an infant, and held it in such way that the abbot could see it. Paslew understood what was meant, but he uttered not a word. Demdike then knelt down beside him, as if ascertaining the security of the cords, and whispered in his ear:—
“Recall thy malediction, and my dagger shall save thee from the last indignity.”

What is truth?
1. God told Abraham there are two nations in the womb of Sarah. Abraham heard this and became to prepare for his future. If you know the spirit of truth, if you know the truth about your future, it helps you to prepare for the future.
2. There is a difference between the fact and the truth. A fact is the present state of a thing, the truth is the real state of a thing. Truth makes you think beyond the fact, beyond the immediate, beyond the present state of things.
3. The fact is that you are barren, the truth is that there are twins, triplets, two nation in your loins.
5. The fact now is that at the minimum, the truth is that you are destined for the maximum.
6. The fact now maybe you are failing, the truth is that you are the head and not the tail; you are above and not below; you are the first and not the last.
7. The things that are seen are temporal, and can change; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
8. Truth is a universal phenomenon, it can work anywhere and produce the same results.

DAVAO CITY - Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte on Tuesday slammed Sen. Antonio Trillanes after the latter accused him of having more than P100 million in his bank account, saying this was a "recycled" issue.
The President's son said Trillanes ran out of questions during last week's Senate inquiry on the P6.4 billion drug smuggling and instead used "recycled" issues from the May 2016 polls.
"Naubusan siya ng tanong (sa Senate hearing), lumabas siya ng dalawang beses. Pagbalik niya anong ginawa? Recycled issue noong kampanya. Yung papel na pinakita niya, time deposit yon ni Mayor Sara, Baste, sa ina ko at sa akin. In-add niya ang principal for how many years. Kaya tinawag ko siyang 'Ugok,'" Duterte said in local dialect.
"By the way, I am a graduate of Banking and Finance," he added.
Trillanes during last week's Senate inquiry questioned the vice mayor on his bank accounts and alleged that as of November 2015, Duterte already had P104,282,161.65 in deposits.
He earlier said Duterte and brother-in-law Mans Carpio are members of a so-called Davao Group, which has been linked to corruption and smuggling in the Bureau of Customs.
Duterte refused to answer many of Trillanes' questions. He invoked his right to privacy when he was asked to show a tattoo that would allegedly confirm his membership in a Chinese triad. He also cited the bank secrecy law when asked about his bank accounts.
The son of President Duterte said his family has also been affected by the issue, saying his own daughter even called him a "drug smuggler."
"During the campaign, akong anak si Sabina Duterte, naa mi sa Baler Aurora, gipagawas ni Perfecto Tagalog nga kami mag-asawa, smuggler. Did you remember, ABS-CBN? Sa inyo 'to nigawas TV Patrol. Akong anak gikan sa gawas nisulod naghilak, "Ma, pa makulong na ba mo?" Karon nahitabo ni, gitawag ko niyag drug smuggler. Unsa ba gyud ko, Mr. Trillanes?"
(Ang anak ko na si Sabina Duterte, nasa Baler, Aurora kami, pinalabas ni Perfecto Tagalog na kaming mag-asawa, smuggler. Did you remember ABS-CBN? Sa inyo 'yon lumabas sa TV Patrol? Ang anak ko umiyak. "Ma, pa, makukulong na ba kayo?" Ngayon nangyari ito, tinawag niya akong drug smuggler.)
The senator earlier accused the vice mayor's father, President Rodrigo Duterte, of maintaining secret bank accounts since the elections last year.
In February this year, Trillanes presented documents claiming that bank accounts of Duterte and his three children, and some under the name of the president's partner, Cielito Avancena, had about P2 billion from 2006-2015.
The President has fended off the allegations and instead accused Trillanes of being the one with secret bank accounts.
Trillanes, in turn, signed a waiver for 12 bank accounts being linked to him, and dared the President to do the same.
Meanwhile, the younger Duterte also slammed critics scrutinizing his watch and even dared to give it to media men if its price would amount to P1.9 million.
"Itong relo, kung aabot ng 1.9 million pesos, ibibigay ko sa inyong media," he said.
As for the senator's allegations that the younger Duterte has a back tattoo that proves membership to a drug triad, the latter said he is not keen on showing the tattoo yet.
"Inisin mo talaga 'yung kalaban mo hanggang masira ang kanyang utak," the vice mayor said.


He describes Argentinean superstar Lionel Messi as ''just another bloke with a number on his back'' and became the first Australian to referee in the knock-out stages of the World Cup.
And Ben Williams hopes his performances on the game's biggest stage in Brazil inspire future generations to pick up a whistle and take up officiating.
Williams has returned to Canberra after achieving his life-long dream of refereeing at a FIFA World Cup, where had officiated in three games, including the round of 16 fixture between Costa Rica and Greece.
Williams was also the fourth official for the quarter-final involving eventual runners-up Argentina and Belgium at the Estadio Nacional de Brasilia in Brasilia.
He said the experience of officiating at a World Cup surpassed all of his expectations and he will remember it as one of the greatest moments of his life.
None greater than rubbing shoulders with Messi, the Barcelona attacking midfielder voted as the player of the tournament.
"It lived up and exceeded the expectations, it was a dream come true wherever a World Cup would be, let alone in the spiritual home of football in Brazil,'' Williams said.
"When I was the fourth official, I had to do the checks in the dressingroom and I walked straight past Messi as I walked in.
"You can't afford to be awestruck because if you are you're not doing your job properly.
"He's just another bloke with a number on his back.''
Williams and his assistants, Matthew Cream and Hakan Anaz, were based in Rio de Janeiro during the tournament.
They had to wait until the 26th match until they got the call-up for the game between Ecuador and Honduras at Curitiba, with Ecudaor prevailing 2-1.
It was then off to Sao Paulo for Belgium's 1-0 win against the Korea Republic before getting the nod for the round of 16 match between Costa Rica and Greece.
Williams only found out during a visit to see the Christ the Redeemer statue that he and his assistants would be flying to Recife the following day.
Costa Rica progressed to the quarter-finals after winning the penalty shoot-out 5-3 when scores were tied at 1-all after 120 minutes.
"It was something pretty cool to be involved in,'' Williams said.
"There's pressure in any match you do at the World Cup and let alone a knock-out match.
"You know what it means to the countries, but again you just prepare the best you can.''
The 37-year-old will return to his day job as a physical education teacher at Belconnen High School next week before preparing for the upcoming A-League season.
He then hopes to be chosen for the Asian Cup to be held in Australia in January next year, especially since Canberra will host seven games including a quarter-final.
"It would be fantastic to be appointed to my second Asian Cup and for my friends and family to see me do an international live,'' Williams said.
"That would be wonderful, but I'm not getting ahead of myself, I haven't been selected yet.
"I'll have a couple of weeks to recuperate then see what the next challenges are.''


On Fridays, I join other bloggers as we write for 5 minutes on a subject picked out by Lisa-Jo at Lisa-Jo Baker - tales from a Gypsy Mama. We write for the fun of it, with no revisions or second-guessing ourselves.
When I saw that the word for this week's 5 minute Friday was dance, my first thought was, "I was raised to believe dancing was worldly, so what can I say about this subject?"
|Source: Google Images|
Then God whispered to me, "You do dance in the kitchen." That's true ... if you want to call it dancing. Sometimes when the joy of living comes over me, I do a little waltzy kind of two-step in the kitchen as I am cooking. I usually warble "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" when I do it. Or sometimes, a few bars of "Ai Yi Yi, I am the Frito Bandito." I wouldn't really call it a dance.
But maybe that is what dancing is - a joyous movement of the feet just because you can't hold it back. I love times when I feel that way - that life is so rich and enjoyable, you can't help but have joy well up in you and come out your feet.
As uncoordinated as I am, a few dance steps can be a lot of fun. Especially accompanied by silly songs.
Because, after all, silly is what I do best!

The film that depicts the LA riots from a Korean American perspective will be released on 18 August 2017
Justin Chon and David So participated in an ‘Ask Me Anything’ Reddit thread to promote their upcoming film Gook.
Directed by Chon, Gook marks the 25th anniversary of the LA riots in which tensions between the Korean American community and African American community escalated violently. The film was inspired by Chon’s own experience in which his family’s store was looted during the riots.
Although Gook has already screened at Sundance Film Festival and the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, its official release to the wider public is on 18 August 2017.
To promote the film, Chon and fellow co-star David So ran an ‘Ask Me Anything’ thread on Reddit. Participants asked a variety of questions about the upcoming film as well as questions related to the wider Asian American community.
When asked about how the demand for Chon’s acting and directing as an Asian American has changed over the years, the 21 And Over actor replied, “My perspective on things have changed a lot over the years. Earlier on i fell in love with acting. but over the last 16 years i started to realize my options as an asian american actor were very limited [sic]. so ive come to realize that creating my own films in addition to the more mainstream work i do is very important in changing that reality [sic].”
“I’m just trying to do my part to slowly change the way we are represented in film/television.”
Chon also took the opportunity to praise So, as well as jokingly knocking him too. “also david has done a huge part on youtube to represent asian americans[sic],” Chon said. “He doesn’t play into those stereotypical portrayals of asian americans. he’s not quiet, he’s not polite, and he’s disgusting as fuck. hahahahaha”
The actor and director also expressed the importance of promoting Asian American voices. “As an asian american i feel its important that asian american voices are supported in media[sic]. especially when they aren’t stereotypical roles where we are represented as nerds and accountants even though i’m totally a nerd and am good at accounting.”
When asked about how the Asian community and black community can come together in LA, So emphasised the importance of education. “Two communities that hurt in two different ways is hard to bridge together,” So began. “We actually highlight this in the film with the relationship between two of the characters. When people of different communities hurt and different ways its hard to empathize with each others struggles. Immigrants have a hard time understanding the black community as well as the black community have a hard time understand Asian immigrants.”
“At the end of the day education and reaching out is the best way to do it. I see it in my small community in Sacramento and even with My parent’s small business in Sacramento. We own an African American beauty supply store and we have been a staple in the community for 28 years. It’s going to take the youth who can see both sides of each community to bridge that gap.”
So, who is known primarily for his YouTube channel, was asked how his experience behind a film camera differs from being behind a camera for YouTube.
“It’s WAY different,” So said, comparing the two experiences. “A real film set is nothing like a youtube production or sketch. Time, money, crew, vision, complications, script, acting, you name it, the level of artistry is NOT THE SAME. Film making isn’t like 6 second vine clip or a 3 minutes sketch you know? It was difficult and way beyond anything I’ve ever been involved with.”


Bellevue College has made substantial progress on our 2010 Climate Action Plan and sustainability more broadly. In the fall of 2010 we hired our first full-time paid sustainability coordinator position. With the support of the Student Environmental Sustainability Fund we now have an Office of Sustainability with two full time staff, three regular part-time student staff, and four faculty stipended positions. Working together with the student government, administration, faculty, and staff we have been implementing projects across campus to reduce our footprint and strive towards sustainability and climate neutrality. In 2013 our efforts were rewarded with Climate Leadership Award from Second Nature for Associates Colleges and we were certified STARS Silver. The following includes a more specific summary of progress on the four elements of our Climate Action Plan: Buildings and Energy Use, Transportation, Purchasing, Waste and Other Strategies, and Education and Culture Change.
Buildings and Energy use:
As part of the Puget Sound Energy Resource Conservation Management program we hired a resource conservation manager, audited all buildings, created resource conservation guidelines, and outlined and implemented a series of low and no cost measures to reduce energy consumption, building on early measures such as Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) with occupancy. We conducted office area education campaign called BC2 in selected areas to educate occupants. We then began a series of Energy Service Performance Contracting projects, including campus-wide lighting and energy retrofits, HVAC Controls replacements in buildings N, R and S, and a small solar array. We also now have building level energy meters that provide better information for energy auditing. There are still potential opportunities, some which will be accomplished over many years, including weatherization/building envelope, standards for smaller renovations, upgrading all building roof-top units and controls, additional solar PV, virtualization of computing, and office practices.
Through the work of a stakeholder taskforce, the College identified and implemented a transportation management plan. The plan included parking fees with options for daily or two day a week parking, revising the student bus pass program for sustainability, implementing car-sharing, improving bike facilities, launching a custom ride-matching site and grants for prizes for sustainable commuting. It also includes advocating for transit service, a dedicated student transportation coordinator, providing one-on-on transportation assistance and creating advertising for sustainable commuting. Other opportunities include adjusting schedules, new bike facilities, reducing idling and more.
Purchasing/ Waste/ Other
The college has seen waste decline with visible stations in coordinated colors with photo signage encouraging recycling. Composting was implemented in the Cafeteria, including all compostable food service supplies, and is now growing across campus, including offices with Captains of Sustainability. Captains also collect batteries and the college will soon offer styrofoam recycling. Printing has taken a sharp decline, especially among students with a limited allotment of free prints for the first time and PaperCut visibly displaying the environmental impact. Business managers are encouraged to buy green via the Office Depot portal. The Sustainable Foods Group is working with food services to encourage sustainable alternatives. Additional work is still to be done on procurement and evaluating the GHG impact of the things we buy.
Education and Culture Change
Earth Week never fails to bring attention, last year hundreds of faculty pledged to teach climate change and thousands of students attended lectures, took pictures with a melting ice globe, or checked out the electric car show. Fifty Faculty members have now participated in the quarte- long Integrating Sustainability workshop and built sustainability issues into their syllabus. Student led projects like water-bottle fill stations and EV chargers continue to build awareness of a better way to do things. The Student Garden attracts student, faculty and staff, sometimes for a snack, Partnering with the Environmental Priorities Coalition for the regional legislative training our students led among colleges engaged in environmental issues in the state capitol in 2013.

Implementing RSS Feeds
I have recently installed the most current version of the bbPress plugin. All appears to be working well but for some reason I don’t see any links for users to subscribe to RSS feeds. I see a couple of admin settings for RSS, but within the forums themselves I see no way to subscribe. Can someone tell me what I am missing?
I would like for users to be able to subscribe to all forums as well as individual threads. Similar to what we have here on the bbPress site.
If there is any documentation or threads on this, can someone please point me to them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Making your child wear shoes is indeed no child’s play. Many a times parents come across situations where they have to force their little ones to wear shoes and sometimes this becomes quite a nightmare for poor mummies and daddies. Parents especially the first timers usually receive so many advices from their elder ones that they are constantly worried about their babies; however the idea is to not fret. There is nothing drastically wrong about not wearing shoes. The feet of a baby are constantly developing and the fact is that being barefoot actually helps to strengthen foot muscles and promote balance. Somehow parents have a misconception that babies who wear shoes learn to walk faster. This is absolutely a myth. There has been no research to validate this belief.
Parents should remember that they should leave their babies barefoot as much as possible. Let your baby experience different surfaces such as grass, marble, and sand and others.
So the next question that parents have is what kind of shoes should they buy for their children? Buy Shoes with a thin, soft sole that will help your baby to feel the ground. Buy shoes of a lighter material for your child’s comfort. This will also help the foot to develop. Prefer canvas shoes than synthetic shoes, as they promote circulation of air. Check the flexibility of the shoes before buying. Last but not the least, choose the right size. Tight shoes can confine the natural growth of your baby’s feet. And bigger size tends to come off easily.
