The Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup truck. Read more Toyota reviews to learn about other models.
The performance of the 2016 Toyota Tundra 1794 is excellent, interior and options are exceptional, it drives and handles very well and cab space is enormous; the only small downside is the size is a little too small, but it just fits in my two car garage.
I purchased a brand new Toyota Tundra in 2015 for over 50k. The salesman tried so hard and pushed me to get an extended warranty and finally, he did. I was told that the warranty is bumper to bumper for 5 years or 75000 mile whichever comes first. I paid over $4000 for that I was happy that I am not going to spend a penny in the next 5 years. The salesman didn't tell me that this warranty is basically for the only oil change and tire rotation. Yes; you read it right. Only oil change every 10,000 miles and tire rotation. I am in the transportation business and I know everything about the cars, trucks and buses. I also know about the warranty as I am working with 3 major bus manufacturer companies. after three years and at 65,000 miles on the truck, I felt that the transmission is kicking and I asked Toyota service in Stevens Creek Toyota in San Jose, Ca to check if there is a problem with the transmission.
They asked me for $200 for the diagnostic charge. Usually; they supposed to inspect the truck every 5000 miles under the warranty and the Transmission is still under the warranty but they told me that I need to pay $200 and if they find any problem with the transmission, then they will waive it. After talking to the shop manager, the salesman who sold me the warranty, his supervisor and finally the big Boss, they waved that charge and they called me after 4 hours that the car is ready and they didn't find any problem with Transmission. I am %100 sure that there is a problem with this transmission but because of they don't want to spend money to fix the vehicle under the warranty, they tell you there is no problem with the vehicle, but when the warranty is gone, they give you a huge list of the problems and a huge bill!!!
I am writing this review to just let the people know that, the Toyota warranty is just waste of the money and there is not really warranty on your vehicle. I spend over 3 hours and I got a lot of headaches to let them know that you can't charge me because of the warranty that I paid three years ago. I love Toyota but unfortunately, I will not buy any more Toyota because of the trouble customer service and a bad experience I had with them. Again; I love Toyota but don't waste your money for extended warranty!
I've wanted a Tundra since the new body style came out in '07. I absolutely love my new truck and am looking forward to years of driving it. I'm sure it will last me into the 200k mile area at least and it will still be beautiful when it gets there.
I have a 2013 Toyota Tundra CrewMax. The interior has plenty of room for tall people in the front and back seating. Fuel economy is on the higher side for a truck this size. Dependable is without question. Towing is with ease and there is plenty of space for storage for paperwork in this model.
I purchased a certified pre-owned vehicle from Toyota auto mall of Ga, I traded in a 2008 Toyota Tundra Crewmax XR5 for the truck with issues. The new truck after driving off the lot had a pulsation when the brake pedal was pushed and I contacted the dealer with my concern, it felt as if my concern was blown off with and they simply stated the tires have some wear which caused that issue. The tires were scheduled to be replaced as per my purchase agreement which was taken care of with 4 new tires instead of 2 since the tires on the truck where discontinued. When I dropped off the truck I explained to the service writer that the pulsation was only noticed when the brake pedal was pushed and that was not a tire issue. I also explained that the vehicle inter-dependent inspection report which was left in the truck with the Tech requesting the rotors to be machined or replaced and that the tires should be replaced.
The service writer blew this off as just basic suggestions and the gm signed off that these were NOT to be done. Nevertheless the rotors were machined and no pulsating was noticed within normal city driving. On the highway though after a few heat cycles the pulsating was back. I brought the truck in for an oil leak I now noticed on the passenger side cam tower and also told the service writer about the pulsating brakes again. I then called Toyota Customer relations to open a case and found out the truck is not showing to be a certified pre-owned, I contacted the dealer and the used vehicle manager stated it was paid to be certified. I requested to speak to the manager of the dealer and when I did he told me that they have already given me new tires what else do I want? At this point I did not know what to say, I voiced my concern and also told him there is a concern about rust on the undercarriage of truck.
At this point I was text a copy of the receipt from the dealer paying for the certification and also noticed I was charged for an extended warranty I did not want or need since I purchased a certified pre-owned vehicle. I was not addressed about the extra charge and the Manager stated he will reverse this, which was NEVER done. By this time Toyota Customer relations case manager called me back and stated that the Tech states there is no concern about rust seen and the vehicle certification just has not updated in the system. The case manager then stated he is standing by the dealer's tech evaluation since he is a certified technician. I am completely disgusted by this experience, this is my third Tundra I have owned and now I don't want to purchase Tundra. I work in the corporate office of another OEM as a technical specialist and there is no way I would allow a customer to be treated in this manner.
If my company made a vehicle of this size I would not hesitate to buy it but I have always been fond of Toyota Tundras until this experience. The rotors on all four wheels have significant rust and deterioration in the vents of the rotors, the passenger side cam tower that was re-sealed is leaking oil again and the brakes pulsate. The charge for the extended warranty was never reversed and I have called about this and never received a callback. I am at a loss; never will I do business from AutoNation Toyota Mall of Georgia again. Toyota themselves is not questionable based on how I was treated with from customer relations case manager. I unfortunately know the amount of erroneous calls to CR from customers looking for handouts but I am not looking for a handout, I want this Truck to be repaired to the specs it should have been when I pulled off the lot May 1st 2017.
This truck spent approx. 3 wks. in the shop a week after I purchased it, it a great feeling to make payments on something you are not even driving. It's an even worse feeling to be blown off by the dealer you purchased the vehicle from and the automaker themselves. Part of my purchase agreement was to replace the 2 front tires due to visually obvious wear, tread was very close to the wear bars. Dealer was not able to order tires since the current tires were discontinued from manufacturer. Dealer did replace all four but from the previous inspection prior to my sale the tires showed wear and should have been addressed before certifying vehicle.
These all seem minimal but this is very concerning how this has all transpired. I provided photos of the cooling vents on the rotors, retail sales contract, internal inspection report from initial dealer inspection, certified pre-owned contract and repair invoice from cam tower oil leak. I currently have approx. 69000 miles on truck with original purchase mileage at 49852. I have a long commute to work and a medically sensitive toddler who is commuted back and forth from clinic visits. He had a Liver transplant at 8 months old 6-25-2016.
How do I know I can trust these reviews about Toyota Tundra?
I'm a 3 time US Marine war veteran, I would do anything in this world to have and die in a Toyota Tundra, why you ask? This is why, during my 2nd war 1996 war in Iraq I was shot at numerous times by enemy hitting me once on my leg, as I seen a Toyota Tundra on the road and trying to get away from the Taliban, this nice man grabbed me and put me in his Toyota Tundra and took me to my base, as we were trying to get out of town we were engaged on from enemy rounds as it hit the truck many times around the engine and back of the truck which never stopped or broke down, as I was shooting back from the back of the truck, the truck was so tough that the bullets from enemy fire couldn't even penetrate through the truck.
I was saved many times because of the Toyota Tundra and after hearing many Fellow Iraqi army friends, Toyota Tundra is a truck they could trust after never noticing no other trucks in Iraq such as the ford or Chevy or Dodge and even the GMC truck which never seen or used anywhere there, and this is why!!! They are very dependable and never break down in the middle of the desert anywhere and they can take many rounds of Enemy artillery that hit the truck and the truck kept on going, even the engine was shot at many many times... I owe Toyota my life for saving mine in order for me to now have my beautiful children who Kaylee is 7 yrs old and my son Kiko is 8 yrs old.
I now have 2 Purple Hearts for saving 3 families and my captain from enemy fire and I would love to donate my Purple Hearts to Toyota Tundra. This will prove to the world that Toyota Tundra and Tacoma's are the best of the best with NO doubts in the world, if you could drive pass any use car dealership in this country, you will NEVER ever see a used Toyota Tundra anywhere guaranteed!! Because many people DON'T ever want to trade them in, you will see many other trucks in a dealership parking lot but never a Toyota Tundra and that's your proof right there.
I'm 50 yrs old now and my dream truck which I know I will never own cause they are too expensive for my wallet is a brown with orange leather interior fully loaded 4 door Toyota Tundra limited truck... I cry every time I see one on the street and my kids tell me, "It's ok dad. God will give you that truck one day," and I cry every time my kids tell me that. People Toyota Tundra is the best dependable outlasting truck in the world today. I would even do a commercial for Toyota Tundra as a war vet just so the world Would know how a war veteran would die and wanted to be Buried in my Toyota Tundra when I die. Since this truck saved my life.
I would just like to state my dissatisfaction with how Toyota responded to an issue I had on my 2011 Tundra. The bed of my truck was rusting out in the common places where Toyota issued a TSB on many years of the Tundra. My truck was 1.5 years out of their considered warranty and they offered 30% of a $7000 repair to fix the problem. The repair had to meet their requirement or they wouldn't offer the 30%. I then asked if they would contribute any money towards the purchase of a new truck and their offering was actually less than what they offered to fix my current truck. If this is how Toyota wants to treat their customers I will be driving another brand of truck.
In my opinion Toyota missed the mark on this situation knowing they had an issue with their trucks rusting out just after the 5 year mark. Then they stand firm on the fact that it is out of the offered warranty. If there wasn't a known issue for the bed rust then things would be different. Toyota should have fixed these issues at 100% of the repair cost if they do in fact think they build a quality truck. Poor design and sub-par materials make for a less than superior product. Since talking with my Toyota dealership and customer care I decided to move on to another brand of truck and will not be looking back. This was my first Toyota truck and will most likely be my last simply because the company would not stand behind their product.
2010 Tundra with less than 20K miles. It has a big rust area in the bed and I have had a Toyota bed liner in it the whole time I have own it... since it was new off lot. Toyota said "That's too bad. It's out of warranty" and I said it's a quality problem. The rust and hole came from the bottom up... it's a quality issue.
My problem with my 2012 Tundra started at a very low mileage interval. So to make it brief, the motor would code out and go into safe/crawl mode displaying the "4 LO" light and also the "service engine" icon. I cannot go over like 4 miles per hour and it seems like I am in 4LO the entire time. So, a charcoal canister $1,200.00 did not fix it, 30 miles later light came on, a EVAP motor and Pump did not fix it $530.00, Now TOYOTA is telling me I need a $3,200.00 evap entire wiring harness, and this will "fix it" guaranteed. I am so mad I could burst. Looking to hear from others if they have experienced this.
1) Front axle needed to be rebuilt. This was done under warranty. 2) Water pump failed shortly after the warranty expired. 3) Everyone should be familiar with the highly talked about gas pedal sticking recall. 4) Rear bearings (yes, I said bearings. That's both sides) failure. Despite my finding a service bullet Toyota published, articles specifically pointing to the issue being a Toyota design flaw and the dealer indicating that they installed upgraded bearings as part of the repair, I was still responsible for the clear majority of the repair cost. The dealer helped and provided the next largest portion and Toyota provided a whopping $400 to the over $2,000 repair.
5) The fifth item is the most recent item that I have yet to do anything about would be the rusty frame issue. I haven't done anything as I have yet to receive the recall notice, but was told by my dealer that my vehicle was included. Based on what I've seen and heard, I'm also not excited with either of Toyota's suggested fixes.
The company that I worked for was the supplier of the frame. In my opinion, the suggested repairs that Toyota is pursuing does not represent what they should be doing. I understand that all vehicle manufacturers have issue. What drives my next purchase decision is how that manufacture resolves those issues. Based on the recent frame issue, I've been working with my dealer to find a solution and my dealer, Metro Toyota in Kalamazoo, MI, has gone above and beyond. I've seen little support from Toyota and the support I have seen (The $400 for an issue that was theirs) was a joke. When the truck bearings failed, my wife and I were looking at a Camry for her daily driver. We ended up with a Subaru. Both our parents are also now looking for new cars. My mother-in-law will most likely be going from her RAV4 to a Subaru Forester. I'm not sure what my parents will do, but they and others have seen my frustrations with Toyota.
I don't think that will be a direction they will be going. It's not about the vehicles as I love the style and feel of the Tundra's and Camry's. It's about the after sales support and the owning up to their mistakes. As children, this is one of the first things we learn. I would expect nothing less from a large corporation such as Toyota. If you read this Toyota, be thankful that you have great dealers, such as Metro Toyota. Unfortunately, they can only do so much. They've worked with me in offering me a more than a fair trade in value for my truck, but we're still ~$5,000 away from trying to bring this to an acceptable resolution.


Downtown Rochester featuring the Plummer Building.
The area developed as a stagecoach stop between Saint Paul, Minnesota, and Dubuque, Iowa near the Zumbro River. The community was founded by George Head and his wife Henrietta who built log cabin Head's Tavern in 1854 and named the city after his hometown of Rochester, New York. When the Winona and St Peter Railroad initiated service in October 1864, it brought new residents and business opportunities further spurring growth and expansion. In 1863, Dr. William W. Mayo arrived as the examining surgeon for Union draftees in the Civil War. Rochester celebrated its sesquicentennial in 2004.
Rochester is in Olmsted County, one of only four counties in Minnesota without a natural lake. Artificial lakes exist in the area, including Silver Lake, a dammed portion of the South Fork Zumbro River just below the convergence with Silver Creek near the city center. Silver Lake was once used as a cooling pond when the coal-burning power plant was operated by Rochester Public Utilities at the lake. When operational, the RPU coal plant's heated water output prevented the lake from generally freezing over during the winter months; attracting large numbers of migrating giant Canada geese.
Rochester has an extensive parks system, the largest of which are Silver Lake and Soldiers Field in the central part of the city. A major flood in 1978 led the city to embark on an expensive and successful flood-control project that involved altering many nearby rivers and streams. The Zumbro river flowing through the center of the city is presently being readdressed for increased development and use as part of city planning in conjunction with funding from the Destination Medical Center project.

Tim Cook talks benefits of globalization & user privacy during speech in China
Following the announcement that Apple will be building two more research and development centers in China, CEO Tim Cook gave a speech at the China Development Forum. This year marked Cook's first appearance at the event, which is sponsored by China's central government.
In the hourlong speech, Cook touched on a variety of topics, including globalization and user privacy.
As noted by The Wall Street Journal, a central point of Cook's speech was globalization. Cook explained that in general, globalization is "great for the world," but that the problem is the benefits aren't evenly distributed within countries.
Cook was quick to note, however, that retreating from globalization altogether isn't the solution and that when counties isolate themselves, it's not good for citizens:
"I think the worst thing would be to—because it didn't help everyone—is to say it's bad and do less of that," said Mr. Cook. "I think the reality is you can see that countries in the world…that isolate themselves, it's not good for their people."
Cook, according to CNBC, encouraged China to continue making itself more open to the world:
"I think it's important that China continues to open itself and widens the door if you will," said Cook, speaking at the government-sponsored China Development Forum.
Cook went on to address the topic of user privacy, something that companies often are hesitant to bring up in relation to China. Cook spoke very broadly during the speech, explaining that Apple uses end-to-end encryption to prevent "hackers and so forth" from accessing data.
Mr. Cook spoke in general about data privacy on Saturday, saying Apple encrypts data end-to-end to prevent "hackers and so forth" from accessing it.
"We think that an individual should own their data and should be able to control their data," Mr. Cook said.
Tim Cook's comments on globalization come as Apple is facing increased pressure to move some of its manufacturing to the United States. While Cook didn't address the topic specifically during his speech in China, his comments seem to reflect his viewpoint that China has a strong and developed manufacturing infrastructure and labor force.
Cook will continue his time in China by introducing China's "top internet regulator, Xu Lin" in a closed-door meeting between executives. The discussion is said to focus on security and internet regulation, though it's unlikely we'll learn too much about what is said.

Carlsen may not defend world chess title unless he faces Firouzja
OSLO, NORWAY Dec 15, 2021 - 11:47 am GMT+3

SERIE-A
World Chess champion Magnus Carlsen, who secured his fifth title earlier Monday, has said he lacks the motivation to defend the title and may only do so if he faces French-Iranian prodigy Alireza Firouzja.
"For those who expect me to play the World Championship next time, the chance that they will be disappointed is very great," the Norwegian said in a podcast interview recorded in Dubai.
The 31-year-old crushed Russian Ian Nepomniachtchi 7.5-3.5 in his fifth straight victorious title match.
"It's been clear to me for most of the year that this World Championship should be the last. It doesn't mean as much anymore as it once did," Carlsen said.
"I haven't felt that the positive outweighs the negative."
He said only Firouzja excites him as a possible challenger.
The 18-year-old won an 11-round, 108-payer tournament in Riga in November that decided the eight qualifiers for a candidates' competition to who will playoff for the right to face Carlsen next year.
Firouzja overtook American Fabiano Caruana as the second-ranked player in the world.
"What happened during ... Riga, where Alireza Firouzja won and qualified for the Candidates Tournament ... made it realistic that I can meet him next time," Carlsen said.
"It can be something that motivates me properly. It already helped me with the motivation for the World Championship match now.
"If someone other than Firouzja wins the Candidates Tournament, it is unlikely that I will play the next world championship match," Carlsen said. "Then I think I can say that I am happy."
A sixth successful title match would bring Carlsen level with German Emanuel Lasker, the champion from 1894 to 1921, and Soviet Mikhail Botvinnik.
Botvinnik held the title between 1948 and 1963, although during that time he twice lost and regained the title and his two successful defenses came in drawn matches.
Russians Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov also have six world championship victories, but some of them were achieved when two circuits coexisted.
Carlsen ruled out stopping his chess clock.
"I will continue to play chess, it gives me a lot of joy. Already in the middle of the World Championship here in Dubai, I started to look forward to playing the World Rapid and Blitz Championship this Christmas," he said. "But the World Championship has not been so pleasurable."
Carlsen's said he also wanted to try to breach 2,900 in the chess rating system, named for Hungarian Arpad Elo. Carlsen's world record is 2,882 and his rating rebounded during the world championship.
"I have never had it as a goal before because I felt it was difficult," he said.
"I have raised the rating a bit again now, to 2,865, and it is at least a goal you can set. It does not feel completely impossible," he said. "There is no room for error. It is something to motivate oneself for."

Q: Equivalent of INNER JOIN ... WHERE in NHibernate I have class Category that contains a List<Subcategory>.
Using LINQ (preferrably), I want to get all Categoriess but filter their Subcategories such that the resulting query would look like:
SELECT * FROM categories
LEFT JOIN subcategories ON subcategories.category_Id = categories.id WHERE subcategories.Retired = false

I have tried:
session.QueryOver<Category>()
.Left.JoinQueryOver(c => c.Subcategories, () => subcategoryAlis, s => !s.Retired)
.List<Category>())

And a few other hacky looking tricks but I can't seem to get the results I need. The above query produces completely useless results with the same entries appearing multiple times and many missing.

A: It's been a while since I've used NHibernate, but I would do it with some dedicated DTO classes for converting to Json, not directly from the entities. I think something along the lines of the following linq query should work:
from c in session.Query<Category>
select new CategoryDto {
  Name = c.Name, //and other properties
  SubCategories = c.SubCategories
    .Where(sc => !sc.Retired)
    .Select(sc => new SubCategoryDto { ... })
    .ToList()
}

Samurai Shodown: Sen Unsheathed On March 30
By Siliconera Staff March 19, 2010
Xseed plans to push out Samurai Shodown: Sen in the already busy March video game monsoon. Their first Xbox 360 game is slated for March 30.
This game is also Xseed's first title from SNK Playmore. Samurai Shodown: Sen was originally in Ignition's hands. Xseed formally announced the publisher change with a spring release window in February. At launch, the game will be a sliver less than most Xbox 360 titles at $49.99. The game has 24 characters, online play, and in the Western version brutal finishing moves.
With only two weeks until launch, and little press coverage, can Samurai Shodown: Sen survive or is it committing retail seppuku?

Q: Maintaining the final state at end of a CSS animation I'm running an animation on some elements that are set to opacity: 0; in the CSS. The animation class is applied onClick, and, using keyframes, it changes the opacity from 0 to 1 (among other things).
Unfortunately, when the animation is over, the elements go back to opacity: 0 (in both Firefox and Chrome). My natural thinking would be that animated elements maintain the final state, overriding their original properties. Is this not true? And if not, how can I get the element to do so?
The code (prefixed versions not included):
@keyframes bubble {
    0%   { transform:scale(0.5); opacity:0.0; }
    50%  { transform:scale(1.2); opacity:0.5; }
    100% { transform:scale(1.0); opacity:1.0; }
}

A: If you are using more animation attributes the shorthand is:
animation: bubble 2s linear 0.5s 1 normal forwards;

This gives:

*

*bubble animation name

*2s duration

*linear timing-function

*0.5s delay

*1 iteration-count (can be 'infinite')

*normal direction

*forwards fill-mode (set 'backwards' if you want to have compatibility to use the end position as the final state[this is to support browsers that has animations turned off]{and to answer only the title, and not your specific case})

Available timing-functions:
ease | ease-in | ease-out | ease-in-out | linear | step-start | step-end

Available directions
normal | reverse | alternate | alternate-reverse

A: Try adding animation-fill-mode: forwards;. For example, the shorthand would be used like this:
-webkit-animation: bubble 1.0s forwards; /* for less modern browsers */
        animation: bubble 1.0s forwards;

A: I had an issue using forwards: at least in Chrome, even after the animation ended, the renderer was still sucking up graphics resources, making the application less responsive.
An approach that does not cause this trouble is by using an EventListener.
CSS animations emit events, so you can use the animationend event to intervene when the animation ends.
CSS
.fade_in {
  animation: fadeIn 2s;
}

@keyframes fadeIn {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
  }

  to {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

JavaScript
const element = document.getElementById("element-to-be-animated");

element.addEventListener("animationend", () => {
    // Set your final state here. For example:
    element.style["opacity"] = 1;
}, { once: true });

The option once: true tells the engine to remove the event listener after its execution, leaving your application fresh and clean.
I have created a JSFiddle to show how it works.

A: IF NOT USING THE SHORT HAND VERSION: Make sure the animation-fill-mode: forwards is AFTER the animation declaration or it will not work...
animation-fill-mode: forwards;
animation-name: appear;
animation-duration: 1s;
animation-delay: 1s;

vs
animation-name: appear;
animation-duration: 1s;
animation-fill-mode: forwards;
animation-delay: 1s;

A: Use
animation-fill-mode: forwards;
animation-fill-mode: forwards;

The element will retain the style values that is set by the last keyframe (depends on animation-direction and animation-iteration-count).
Note: The @keyframes rule is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions.
Working example

div {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background: red;
  position :relative;
  -webkit-animation: mymove 3ss forwards; /* Safari 4.0 - 8.0 */
  animation: bubble 3s forwards;
  /* animation-name: bubble;
  animation-duration: 3s;
  animation-fill-mode: forwards; */
}

/* Safari */
@-webkit-keyframes bubble  {
  0%   { transform:scale(0.5); opacity:0.0; left:0}
    50%  { transform:scale(1.2); opacity:0.5; left:100px}
    100% { transform:scale(1.0); opacity:1.0; left:200px}
}

/* Standard syntax */
@keyframes bubble  {
   0%   { transform:scale(0.5); opacity:0.0; left:0}
    50%  { transform:scale(1.2); opacity:0.5; left:100px}
    100% { transform:scale(1.0); opacity:1.0; left:200px}
}

The Labour Party - or 'New Labour', as it is now known - is, at present, the opposition party having been voted out in the 2010 election.
The 'New Labour' moniker came about in 1994, the year that Blair was elected party leader following the untimely death of former leader John Smith, at a time when the party was going through a period of re-invention after years in the political wilderness.
At the head of this tide of change were several figures that would all go on to play significant roles in British government: Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Peter Mandelson and Alastair Campbell were all advocates of what they termed 'The Third Way'.
One of the key features of New Labour policy was a gradual distancing of the party from the Trade Unions that had traditionally formed the basis of its support, in the process moving its politics from the left to a more centre-left position and wooing middle class voters disillusioned with the failing Tory government of John Major.
The change of direction was a resounding success, bringing a landslide victory in the 1997 election for the party, but the New Labour project soon proved controversial in that some said it manipulated its media image - both Mandelson and Campbell were highly influential Downing Street spin-doctors during Blair's premiership.
New Labour has been tarnished in the recent "cash for honours" scandal, with several government figures being subject to police questioning over whether honours were promised in exchange for secret loans to the party.

If referred to the clinical legal education program by a state or federal court, department, agency, institution, or other department of the University of South Carolina School of Law or the Charleston School of Law, an eligible law student may also appear in an inferior court or before an administrative tribunal on behalf of a non-indigent person or non-profit organization. In all cases, a supervising lawyer is required to be personally present throughout the proceeding.
An eligible law student may engage in other activities, under a lawyer's general supervision, but outside the lawyer's presence.


Multi-award-winning author, journalist, cooking teacher and TV host Steven Raichlen takes a side journey away from classic grilling to explore the rich flavors of smoked food in the 13-part series STEVEN RAICHLEN'S PROJECT SMOKE. PROJECT SMOKE is a "how-to" cooking show that focuses on the art of smoking techniques and recipes from hot smoking and cold smoking to smoke roasting and "smoke-tisserie" cooking. Using traditional and cutting-edge techniques in must-try recipes, the grilling and smoking authority shows how to smoke a variety of iconic foods, such as Texas brisket, Kansas City ribs and Carolina pork shoulder. In several episodes, Steven also demonstrates smoking dishes not known for being smoked, such as vegetables, pizza and dessert. There's even an episode devoted to urban dwellers on how to make smoked eggplant dip, smoked gazpacho, stovetop smoked salmon and smoked ice cream.

Bose Frames: These Sunglasses Come With Built-In Speakers For Listening To Music
Last year, Bose released a neck-worn personal speaker that served as an alternative to headphones, allowing you to listen to music without shutting out the rest of the world. It's a cool concept, but having to wear something weird around your neck just didn't mesh well with a lot of people. So why not put those same speakers on sunglasses instead? That's exactly what the outfit did with the new Bose Frames.
That's right, these sunglasses are equipped with those same tiny speakers they used in their neckwear, allowing it to pair with an audio source and pipe sound directly down your ears. Sure, it's not as direct as earphones inserted into your ear canal or headphones covering your entire ear, but it does accomplish the job of letting you listen to music without tuning out the world at large.
The Bose Frames are real, functional sunglasses designed to shield your eyes from 99 percent of all UVA and UVB rays using uniformly tinted lenses. It comes in two styles, alto and rondo, with the former coming in the classic wayfarer style and the latter sporting the 60s-style clubmaster shape. Both models, by the way, sport scratch-resistant nylon rims, stainless steel hinges, and shatter-resistant lenses, so these should work just as good as any popular brands of sunglasses you wear. Of course, being a nice-looking pair of sunglasses just means you won't mind wearing them – what makes these special are what the outfit adds to the erstwhile regular eyewear.
At the end of chunky sections of the temple, the eyewear hides miniaturized Bose speakers that, according to the outfit, have been precisely positioned to direct sound at you and away from everyone else. That means, you're going to hear the music playing loud and clear, while minimizing its ability to reach outside of your immediate vicinity, so you don't look like that dork who still listens to an annoying boombox out in 2018.
The Bose Frames can pair with any wireless music source over Bluetooth (30-foot range), so you can use it with your phone, tablet, or laptop in a straightforward manner. There's an integrated mic, so you can use it to answer calls and send voice commands to your phone, as well as Bose AR support, so you can use it for the outfit's audio-only augmented reality platform. Yeah, we have no idea what Bose AR is either, but if it ever becomes popular, you're all ready to take part.
An onboard battery supplies power to the speakers for up to 3.5 hours of music streaming, after which you'll need to plug it back in for two hours to get a full charge. Do note, they only have an IPX2 rating, so while they shouldn't be damaged from sweat and sudden drizzles that take you by surprise, you'll have to take them off in most situations where it's going to be exposed to water, lest risk damaging the electronics. A single button on the right temple allows you to access all of the controls, from powering on and accepting calls to pausing a track and bringing up Siri.
The Bose Frames are now available for preorder with a January ship date, priced at $199.95.

Brussels and London may have to spend more than two years to complete the Brexit procedures set out in Article 50 of the Treaty of the European Union, Russia's Permanent Representative to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov said Friday.
BRUSSELS (Sputnik) – On Thursday, the United Kingdom held a referendum to determine whether or not the country should leave the European Union. According to the final results, 51.9 percent of voters, or 17.4 million people, decided to support Brexit, while about 16.1 million opposed it.
"Quite a considerable period has been allotted – two years [for completion of UK withdrawal process]. However, nobody may probably be certain that they will keep within these two years," Chizhov told reporters.
According to the Russian envoy, it is unclear to what extent the UK citizens want to speed up this process.
"Russia never interfered in this process and has always proceeded from the assumption that the referendum, as well as any other referendums in other countries, is a sovereign affair of the peoples who are involved in the referendum," Chizhov added.

Q: Exception when starting up the eclipse platform for a junit test I have the following situation:

*

*A class A which make some initializations in a static block.

*A class B which needs the first class, A.

Class A is not under my control, it comes from a library and I can't replace the library or the class A.
When I want to write a unit test for B class and I'm trying to mock the A class, the static block from A class is executed and I get:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
    at sun.reflect.GeneratedSerializationConstructorAccessor1.newInstance(Unknown Source)
...
Caused by: org.eclipse.core.runtime.AssertionFailedException: assertion failed: The application has not been initialized.
    at org.eclipse.core.runtime.Assert.isTrue(Assert.java:110)

    at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.InternalPlatform.getAdapterManager(InternalPlatform.java:160)
    at org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform.getAdapterManager(Platform.java:595)
    at test.A.<clinit>(A.java:12)
    ... 43 more

Here are the class A, B and the test:
A.java
package test;

import org.eclipse.core.runtime.IAdapterManager;
import org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform;

public class A {

    static {
        IAdapterManager adapterManager = Platform.getAdapterManager();
    }

    public A() {
    }

    public void doSomething() {
        //
    }
}

B.java
package test;

public class B {

    private A a;

    public B(A a) {
        this.a = a;
    }

    public B() {
    }

    public void someMethod() {
        a.doSomething();
    }

    public void setA(A a) {
        this.a = a;
    }
}

TestB.java
package test;

import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.mockito.Mockito;

public class TestB {

    private B b;
    private A a;

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        a = Mockito.mock(A.class);
        b = new B(a);
    }

    @Test
    public void testSomeMethod() throws Exception {
        //
    }

    @After
    public void tearDown() throws Exception {
        //
    }
}

So, the question would be, what should I do in the unit test to initialize the eclipse platform before the "Mockito.mock(A.class);"?
The problem is that when "Platform.getAdapterManager()" is called, "InternalPlatform.getDefault().getAdapterManager()" is called and then "assertInitialized()" is called, which will throw "java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError" with

Caused by: org.eclipse.core.runtime.AssertionFailedException:
  assertion failed: The application has not been initialized.

A: You could try PowerMock which supports the removal of static initializers. See here for an example.
In summary, you annotate your test class with @RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class) and @SuppressStaticInitializationFor("org.mycompany.ClassWithStaticInitializer").

"First, to answer the "Why did my download fail?" question. Secunia only has so much bandwidth to work with. The speed at which you connect to the download site may have a lot to do with it.

This has happened before on other major updates and for other vendors. Do not be discouraged, please be patient.
Also, I found on my install, the computer had to be restarted for PSI to actually load. I did not see any installation instructions that told of that requirement. The uninstall of the 1.9 beta was not required as the install program did it for me."
I have downloaded the new version, and it has found an end of life programme (Bonjour). I have downloaded this programme but when it scans, it still shows it as end of life and I can't get rid of it.

Scott Mathews (born July 25, 1955) is an American music producer, composer, performer, and entrepreneur. He has appeared as a musician, songwriter or producer on recordings with sales of more than 40 million units which earned more than 20 gold and multi-platinum RIAA Certification awards.

As a recording artist, he recorded for Capitol Records and established the video department at Capitol just prior to MTV. Mathews owns and operates a private studio, TikiTown, along with four production and publishing companies.

Early career
Mathews began playing music at a young age. At 15 he got his first break playing with Elvin Bishop at San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium.

In 1973 Mathews met future long-time collaborator Ron Nagle.  Nagle was already an established songwriter and recording artist for Warner Brothers, best known at the time for his 1970 album Bad Rice. Nagle and Mathews teamed up and began to write and record material in Nagle's garage studio in San Francisco. Turning 18, Mathews moved to Sausalito, CA, sharing a house with David Jenkins of Pablo Cruise, making a living as a session musician while writing and producing 'blueprints for records' with Nagle.

Mathews soon began producing radio and television jingles for various ad agencies. This led to Roy Orbison being the first notable artist Mathews produced in the recording studio. Mathews convinced an advertising agency he could get Orbison to license his biggest worldwide hit, Oh, Pretty Woman for Tone, a women's body soap manufactured by The Dial Corporation. The campaign was such a success that Mathews followed it up with Johnny Cash on Victoria Station radio ads.

Ron Nagle's producer from his solo record, Jack Nitzsche, heard some of the duo's new material and hired them to work on film scores and record projects. In Nitzsche, Mathews found his mentor in the music business and high-profile projects followed soon after.

Performing and producing sessions under Nitzsche, Mathews worked on his first movie soundtrack, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and was Nitzsche's multi-instrumentalist and close assistant on various recording projects with major artists such as Mick Jagger, Barbra Streisand, Glen Campbell, Ry Cooder, Dr. John.

In 1977, Barbra Streisand heard one of Mathews and Nagle's songs at a meeting with Jack Nitzsche. She asked to meet with the two composers and the three began writing together in a bungalow at The Beverly Hills Hotel. They wrote "Don't Believe What You Read" for Streisand's album Superman which went double-platinum in the United States . Mathews also assisted Nitzsche in writing the arrangements for the album. Mathews and Nagle also wrote and published songs by The Tubes including the cult favorite, "Don't Touch Me There".

Also in 1977, Mathews played drums and dobro on Glen Campbell's album Southern Nights on Capitol Records and worked with Nitzsche on the arrangements of several songs.

Robin Williams contacted Mathews to help with a musical finale for his shows in San Francisco at The Boarding House. Following that success, Williams took the show to New York at the Copacabana. Mathews urged Williams to record some shows, which led to a record deal with Casablanca Records. The result was an Reality...What a Concept, the first Grammy Award winning project for both Williams and Mathews.

Mathews was a studio musician on the Beach Boys album Keepin' the Summer Alive,

Acting
Mathews starred as Fluke Starbucker in the 1977 Star Wars parody Hardware Wars. It was highly profitable, grossing in excess of $1,000,000 on a paltry $8,000 budget. George Lucas said in a 1999 interview on the UK's The Big Breakfast television show that Hardware Wars was his favorite Star Wars parody. In 2003, the film was honored by Lucasfilm when it was given the Pioneer Award at that year's The Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards. In August 2010, Time magazine listed it as one of the top 10 Star Wars fanfilms.

Dūrocs
Following Mathews' writing and production work with artists on A&M Records, Capitol Records approached him and Nagle to build a band project.  Nagle and Mathews, funded by A&M, wrote and produced material under the name Dūrocs. The duo ended up signing with Capitol Records as a production company to produce artists already on the label and/or new artists they brought in. Capitol's Artists and repertoire division pushed for Mathews and Nagle to record their own album as the first project with the label and the duo agreed although the so-called 'band', Durocs, but never had any intention of performing live.

Originally labeled as new wave and power pop, Dūrocs wrote and produced material that was more diverse and explored Mathews and Nagle's interests in the styles of The Brill Building, Leiber and Stoller and Phil Spector.

Durocs did not assemble a band to tour in support of the album. En lieu of touring, they produced music videos for their two singles.
Dūrocs left Capitol late in 1980 to focus on production and songwriting for other artists. In 1981 the video department Dūrocs helped Capitol build thrived as the label was prepared to make promotional videos for the new MTV television channel. The song "Lie to Me" was featured on the 1980 WKRP in Cincinnati episode "A Family Affair".

After negotiations with Capitol Records, Real Gone Music released the original Dūrocs record in 2012. The Durocs negotiated for a limited edition vinyl series to be released exactly 33 1/3 years (representing the RPMs of an album) after the original record. Along with the original LP are eight previously unheard Dūrocs 'bone-us' tracks, all recorded shortly after the Capitol release.

Other work

In 1989, Mathews recorded vocals on Todd Rundgren's Nearly Human and joined Rundgren on tour. He also performed multi-instruments and vocals on Todd Rundgren's Live in Chicago '91.

Mathews and Nagle co-wrote the 1990 title song to Dave Edmunds Closer to the Flame.

In 1991, Mathews moved to Marin County and founded Hit or Myth Productions, Inc. Mathews hired his own A&R staff for recruiting primarily emerging artists and bought a split level house in Mill Valley, CA on the edge of San Francisco Bay which became his ideal private recording studio, TikiTown, named for the enormous Tiki statues that surround it.
Van Morrison was one of the first artists Mathews brought into the studio and he loved it so much he set up an entire large room as a gym so he could work out while there.
TikiTown is also renowned for its museum level quality of music memorabilia and ultra rare Hall of Fame type pieces.

In 1993 Mathews and music journalist Joel Selvin met with Dick Dale in Twentynine Palms, CA. Their meeting convinced Dale to come out of retirement and record with Mathews. Dale experienced a renewed interest in his music and earned the #1 college radio record for his Tribal Thunder comeback LP which Mathews co-produced.

In December 2011, Mathews signed on as executive producer with the Hong Kong-based, Far West Entertainment. Less than two months after, Mathews produced the #1 Billboard track "Dance On" with Pan Asian girl group Blush.

On January 24, 2014, Mathews helped arrange for his longtime friend, Hal Blaine to be inducted at the 29th annual TEC Awards Hall of Fame at the NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. The evening also provided for a reunion with Todd Rundgren who won the Les Paul Award for his musical innovation.

On October 19, Mathews was honored with a Milley Award, a local Bay Area award for 'recognition and appreciation for his outstanding achievement in performing, creating and demonstrating his significant body of work, service to the arts community and artistic vision, diligence and perseverance.' In his speech upon receiving the award, he spoke; "It has been at least a couple lifetime's of great fortune and I'm most grateful for it. I have been able to live quite comfortably in the Bay Area, hermetically sealed in the recording studio, creating new music rather than re-creating it on stage and living the life of a carny. But I don't think the past can possibly provide what the future promises and deeply feel my best work is ahead of me. The rear-view mirror is so much smaller than the windshield."

Charitable work
Mathews serves as Chairman of the San Francisco Bay Area Council of Little Kids Rock which provides a nationwide program of free musical education and instruments to impoverished public schools.

Irish Ground Rockets in Final Minute
Notre Dame Athletics | November 21, 2019
The Notre Dame women's basketball squad (3-2) gutted out a 54-51 victory over Toledo (1-2) on Wednesday night, rallying from nine in the comeback win. Freshman Sam Brunelle recorded her first career double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds. Brunelle became the first freshman to start her Irish career with five double-digit scoring games.
Destinee Walker supplied 12 points and six boards to the Irish cause, while Katlyn Gilbert flirted with a double-double with 11 points and eight rebounds. Meanwhile, the Irish defense caused four shot-clock violations in the fourth quarter alone to help spur the team to victory, forcing 21 Toledo turnovers in-all.
"I thought Gilbert did so many great things and came up with some big steals, big rebounds and big plays. I was really pleased. And for Sam to get her first career double-double – one of many. She made some huge shots also, but it was her rebounding which was key. That's how we won at the end of the game," Karen & Kevin Keyes Family Head Coach Muffet McGraw said. "Toledo's effort was tremendous. They look like a veteran team and forced us into some bad mistakes. We got a lot of work to do, but heading in the right direction."

Gwen Graham still not satisfied about Mosaic sinkhole situation after receiving DEP records
by Florida Politics' Mitch Perry
U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham is speaking out critically about the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, after she reviewed public records regarding the massive sinkhole at Mosaic's facility in Polk County.
"Unless there are records that were not produced as required by law, the disclosures show an alarming lack of communication among state regulators about a threat to the health and safety of Florida families and our environment," said Graham in a statement. "I am very concerned that we had a watchdog agency asleep at the wheel."
In late August, a 45-foot wide, 300-foot deep sinkhole opened up at Mosaic's New Wales plant , emptying 215 million gallons of contaminated water into the Floridan Aquifer. It was stunning news when it was released to the general public — weeks after the incident occurred.
Since that time, Graham, a potential 2018 gubernatorial candidate, has persisted in demanding the DEP and the governor's office turn over all electronic communication relating to the toxic sinkhole. After weeks of delay, she is now has those records, but says they don't convey much information.
The emails show that before the sinkhole was revealed in September, nearly all of the electronic communications regarding the incident were email exchanges between the DEP and Mosaic employees. A review of the records from the governor's office and DEP (which can be read here) contained few internal communications between state employees concerning the sinkhole before it became public. And Graham notes while there were "several" emails from the governor's office about her questions, there aren't any "demonstrating concern" over the sinkhole and DEP's response or examining potential solutions to the problem.
The public information released also includes many emails sent to the DEP from concerned citizens, both in Florida and around the country. There's also a request from an aide to now-District 19 state Sen. Darryl Rouson contacting the governor's office to determine if he can sponsor the bill Rick Scott announced in September that would ensure that the public is kept informed of incidents of pollution that may cause a threat to public health and to Florida's air and water resources.
In her statement, Graham says "it's also concerning regarding the state's communications with its own scientists" and refers to one exchange from a geologist, who has spent more than 20 years working for the state, who raised concerns over the lack of information: "I'm working on that facility with EPA but no one told me about it [the sinkhole]. So much for communication."
"These public records responses indicate communication has broken down within Gov. Scott's state agencies," Graham said. "With this kind of threat to Florida families and the environment, the governor's office and DEP should have been ringing alarm bells and taking swift action. Nothing in these records indicates they were operating with any sense of urgency. Either we are still missing documents, or the state didn't particularly care. Neither situation is acceptable."

Since its Californian beginnings a generation ago, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) has won world-wide recognition as probably the most powerful set of tools available for improving communication, thinking and problem-solving. Derived from the study of leading practitioners in fields as disparate as psychotherapy and selling, NLP is now used extensively in business, management, human resource development and sport. Dr Alder's Handbook brings together in one volume the ideas and skills involved in applying NLP to achieve superior performance at both the personal and the professional level. Part 1 sets out the underlying principles and introduces key concepts such as outcomes, representational systems, anchoring, modelling and reframing, together with the techniques required for putting them to work. Part 2 shows how to use NLP in training, selling, negotiating, interviewing, coaching and presentation. Throughout the text there are examples and exercises designed to help readers profit from, rather than simply understand, the procedures described. Other valuable features include a glossary of terms and a sources and resources section containing an annotated reading list and details of organizations offering NLP training. Anyone seeking a comprehensive guide to NLP theory and practice need look no further.

Galion students will have the opportunity to travel to Québec City next year.
Galion High School's French class received the approval from the Galion Board of Education Thursday evening to travel to the capital of Quebec, a Canadian province, from May 11-16.
Twenty-four students and six chaperones will make the 14 hour trip by bus, which will not require minors to have a passport to cross the boarder, said Violeta Chinni, the French teacher at GHS.
Last year, more than 40 students traveled to New Orleans, which was well received, some board members said.
"Québec will be a full-immersion," Chinni said, emphasizing how students will be placed in situations to engage in French.
The students will participate in the educational tour through Boston-based Exploria, which will also hire a third-party for security.
Students will fund the trip with several fundraisers including selling bookmarks for $1, Chinni said.
In other business, the Genevieve Mann, a sixth-grader at Galion Middle School, gave a presentation on why the district should use reusable trays instead of Styrofoam, which are also used in high school.
Last year, trash and waste disposal cost the school district $27,000, Galion Superintendent James Grubbs.
Recent discussions with Rumpke have brought costs down to $15,000, he said.
Other cost-saving initiatives include the redesign of the school's website. The district is now paying $6,000 in annual fees for the current site compared with $600 for the new website that's expected launch next school year. Also, the district are intending to launch a "Varisty News Network" website, which will provide scores, news and updates for Galion varsity teams. The site will also be connected to a Facebook page dedicated to the Athletic Department.
The network will cost an initial, one-time fee of $1,400 for both the middle and high school, Grubbs said.
Athletic Director Kyle Baughn said the district wants to have the network ready for Spring sports.
Additionally, the BOE honored outgoing board member Robert Zeisler for 12 years of service to the district.
"I just have really enjoyed it," Zeisler said. "I think this is a great district. I really do – staff, students, everyone. It's just been fun."
Galion BOE will have its organizational meeting – followed by its regular meeting – at 6 p.m. on Jan. 14.
