We've seen robots do some amazing things ? from performing?delicate surgical operations to competing in?real-life sporting events ? but Trossen Robotics' Darwin bot is different. Content in letting other bots do the hard work, Darwin's only goal in life ? when he's not?busting a move ? is to procure an ice-cold beer. And not just any beer will do; as you can see by the video above, the wise robot won't even glance at a Bud Light, yet relentlessly pursues the?Mexican-made Tecate.

In reality, the talented programmers of Trossen Robotics likely programmed the bot to recognize and run towards red objects and ignore blue, but Darwin's steadfast determination in getting ahold of a Tecate is charming nonetheless. You can get your hands on your very own Darwin bot, if you have deep enough pockets, as the company is selling the adorable humanoids for?a cool $12,000.

Science fiction has suggested that one day robots might be?powered by alcoholic beverages alone, and that refusing them their precious fuel could result in mechanical failure. Darwin might be the first step towards such a future, though we hate to think of the confusion that might result when the beer-loving bot goes after a can of beer that is?actually a robot in disguise.

Albino Nexus S, meet your better specced, bleached out, dual-core nemesis -- the mythical white Samsung Galaxy S II. The leaked snap is certainly timely, coming in only one day after a UK retailer promised the colorless beast would go on sale August 15th. We can't vouch for that, but we do know US peeps can now sign-up for "more info" on Sammy's website, so stateside GSII fans should be hearing more from the company soon. Will word come of the LTE-toting, ivory dream phone we've been lusting after? Probably not, but getting the baddest black Android on the planet is still pretty darn good.

AptiQuant

By Helen A.S. Popkin

Way back in March ? roughly?73.8 years in Internet time ? Microsoft asked you to stop using Internet Explorer 6. But you were all, "No! Now pass me my All Bran. And pipe down! 'The Mentalist' is coming on."

In an effort to get international usage of the 10-year-old Web browser down to just 1 percent, Microsoft launched a countdown campaign with website?featuring an international map with percentage of use in various countries, links to Join the Cause, Educate Others and Tell Your Friends.??(Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal.)

Alas, you were too busy updating your "JAG" fan fiction on Geocities and adding glitter gifs to your MySpace profile to try out content filters such as Shaved Bieber for Firefox, or make power pop quartet OK Go spell words?via Google?s Play With Chrome?project.

So if you're?still among the approximately 10.7 percent of the world on IE6 ? notoriously buggy and incompatible with pretty much everything?except malware ? here's some science bound to make you embrace change. IE6 users have an average IQ score barely over 80, according to?a recent study by?Vancouver-based psychometric consulting company, AptiQuant.

Psychometrics "is the field of study concerned with the theory and technique of psychological measurement, which includes the measurement of knowledge, abilities, attitudes and personality traits, and educational measurement." Of course you know that, at least if your browser of choice is ?Firefox or Chrome (user IQ average around 110),?Opera or Camino (user IQs average more than 120), or are familiar with a website called?Wikipedia.

To get those numbers, AptiQuant?polled 101,326 people ages 16 and up from predominately English-speaking countries, including?the U.S.,?Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. Subjects took an intelligence test on the AptiQuant?website, which recorded their browser, operating system and geographic location via their IP address. (You can read more about the study's methodology here.)

What if you use four different browsers? IE, Chrome, FF and Opera! Huh? What then? Super genius? Study doesn't say ... though you should probably get outside once in a while. At least get a standing desk. Just saying.

Meanwhile, as?you're crafting your IE jokes (i.e. shooting fish in a barrel), you'll want to note that IE users overall were significantly smarter in 2006. That doesn't mean those same IE users are losing brain power. (IE8 currently tops market share at 30.7 percent).? It seems that while pretty much everybody hates change (when's the last time you saw Steve Jobs not wearing a black mock turtleneck?), those with higher IQs more readily embrace? it. ("It,"?in this case, being Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.)

"From the test results, it is a clear indication that individuals on the lower side of the IQ scale tend to resist a change/upgrade of their browsers," the study concludes. "This hypothesis can be extended to any software in general, however more research is needed for that, which is a potential future work as an extension to this report."

More on the annoying way we live now:

From July 25 through July 30, anti-poverty advocacy group ONE is joining 10 bloggers who are making their way through Kenya to see what life is really like for moms in the developing world. Follow along and check their progress at One.org/us/actnow/moms.

Oasis is one of the first words that comes to mind when visiting Amani Ya Juu, a sewing and training program for African women who are marginalized and often broken.

Fleeing from war-torn countries and desperate home and personal circumstances, Amani Ya Juu, started 25 years ago in a small room in Nairobi, today provides for women from virtually every corner and culture on the continent nothing short of transformation. Where women once found no options, Amani Ya Juu, by teaching women skills in sewing, quilting, design, beading, batik and bookkeeping, is a source of both income and a way to heal.

Petroniia, until a few years ago lived a dire life in Mombasa. Rejected by her family, she suffered at the hands of her relatives and the streets.

"I was saved by Amani Ya Juu, I was not saved before. I have learned how to forgive," Petroniia told us yesterday on a tour of the facility. She is responsible for fabric-dyeing and batik now, and showed us with great pride the beautiful patterns and colors she creates. Her fabric is used for products like clothing, place mats, quilts, toys, jewelry, handbags and many other beautiful things, which are sold in a store on the compound (as well as online and in a boutique in Washington, D.C.) Today Petroniia is the mother of two little girls and provides a steady and secure income for the family.

The Amani Ya Juu compound includes several quite beautiful buildings, many trees, flowers, plants and green space where children play, and production rooms that are neat, well kept and lovingly cared for. On the wall in the chapel hangs a unity quilt, made by the women there. Each square represents a different country and culture of Africa and different ways to solve problems and resolve conflict.

Delphi came to Amani Ya Juu from Burma to escape war, and as she told us, "to find peace."

"Life was not easy, everything we had was taken away from us, family, friendship, food," she said. She was unable to finish school because her family could not afford it, and as a young teen Delphi had a son who, at age 1, died of pneumonia. Soon thereafter she came to Amani Ya Juu and everything for her changed.

A quilter who creates colorful, floral designs, Delphi goes to school at night and because of her income from her quilts supports many of her siblings and other family members, including paying for their school fees.

"I look after my family. I have responsibility. Now I know I'm a strong woman," Delphi said with a broad smile.

In Swahili, "amani ya juu" means higher peace. Take one look into the eyes of Petroniia, Delphi and the other women there and it is clear that is true.

I don?t want to ?out? my mother here, but I don?t think she had a good knife in her kitchen until just a few years ago. For years, every time I went back home to visit my family and wanted to cook, I would have to use a dull serrated steak knife to do my chopping. Not exactly practical. Or enjoyable. Many a meal I made there looked like it was put together with a pair of safety scissors.

If there?s one utensil I believe everyone should have in their kitchen, it?s a good knife. The difference it makes to preparing a meal with ease and speed can not be overstated. I bought my first Wusthof knife over 15 years ago and I still have (and love) it today.

Lucky for you, Wusthof is offering one weelicious reader the chance to win their new Classic 5 Piece Studio Set, which includes a 3.5 inch Paring Knife, 4.5 inch Utility Knife, 6 inch Cook?s Knife, Come Apart Kitchen Shears and wood block to hold them all in. To enter, just leave a comment below telling me the piece of kitchen equipment you use most often. The winner will be chosen at random and notified next week. And sorry mom, as badly as you need to win this one, you?re not eligible.

Good luck!

Hello, I am really scared and I can't get any answers from the doctors. Here is my story. Ever since I had my daughter six months ago I have been suffering major problems. my periods are irregular and heavy and very painful. But that isn't all. I get dark brown discharge like old blood for two weeks every month along with painful cramping and stomach pain. then when the brown discharge is gone I get a large amount of discharge that comes out of me li8ke urine. I am in so much pain constantly. It hurts to breathe or move. my periods have been coming like 1-2 weeks late every month. I have been extremely nauseated constantly too. I am bloated and have gas and can hardly eat anymore because of feeling so bloated and my stomach aches. I have gone to the ER several times because I can not find a gyno and my pelvic exams are normal, but docs say there is definitely something going on. They have seen the large amounts of blood and discharge, but they say they don;t know what it is. Ovarian and cervical Cancer does run in my family. and I have been unable to sleep at night sometimes because I get such horrible leg cramps and back pain. At my six weeks postpartum check up my pap did come back abnormal, but like I said I have no gyno right now, can anybody give me any ideas of what it MIGHT be or what I could do. I have tried to get in with a gyno but no one is accepting any new patients right now, so I am left with going to the ER every month. It is embarrassing and I just want to know I am not crazy and that there might actually be something to this. Please feel free to email me I need serious answers to my problem. Note: I had my tubes tied and my husband is fixed too, and I am not pregnant.

I read Robbie Telfer?s insightful post about the tie between the arts and entertainment. I am reminded of a conversation that I recently had about the effect that So You Think You Can Dance and similar commercialized entertainment has had on the dance community.

For many years, I was so frustrated with how dance was being portrayed on television. I disliked the judges? comments. It would irritate me that the show would highlight those dancers that could do tricks and entertain the crowd by kicking their leg to their head, instead of the technically trained dancers.

I feared that the new interest by the general public in these shows would make audiences under-whelmed if they were to experience a live concert dance performance and not see back flips. If this trend was taking over the public?s perception of dance, would other artists begin conforming? Would we in jeopardy of losing the artistry of our discipline?

But, after numerous questions from the general public, such as, ?Do you watch So You Think You Can Dance?? and ?What do you think of Mia Michaels choreography?? I realized that not only could this show be a teaching tool and an opening to dialogue about dance, but it could be a great promotional tool to get audiences to see live dance performances.

I adopted this philosophy within my company, challenging our choreographers to ?make dance mainstream without watering down the content.? With this new challenge, we put the audience?s experience as a priority within our show. What drives audiences to our shows? What keeps them ?buzzing? afterwards? What conversations do we hear in the lobby during intermission and after the show?

We know that entertainment value is huge with the performing arts. We want to give audiences a chance to connect with the work of artists on a creative, intellectual, and just plain enjoyment level.

I also use my student?s love for the television shows as an entr?e into a conversation about choreography techniques. They search YouTube for their favorite pieces from the shows, and then we ?pick apart? the choreographic techniques and critique the pieces based on their new knowledge of the process.

Last season, my company, Dance Canvas, was asked by Fox 5 Atlanta to assist with organizing, National Dance Day, an event conceived and marketed by Nigel Lythgoe and the So You Think You Can Dance brand.

As you can imagine, I had thoughts that I may be crossing over to the ?dark side? by embracing a commercial dance competition show, but I also reconciled that the excitement behind the event would be a catalyst for participation.

?The Arts? and ?Entertainment,? can partner together to bring the best out of each other. And we did! Over 1,000 people came out for dance classes and professional dance companies had the opportunity to perform for new audiences.

Was it worth the partnership? I am looking forward to hearing thoughts or similar experiences.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. ? Tiger Woods returns to golf under a new set of circumstances.

He no longer has the caddie he employed for the last 12 years, having fired Steve Williams a month ago. He no longer is among the top 20 in the world, his lowest ranking since Allen Iverson was an NBA rookie. And he might not even be eligible to play on the PGA Tour after a couple of weeks.

After missing two majors during an 11-week break to make sure his left leg was fully healed, Woods announced Thursday evening on Twitter and on his website that he would return next week at the Bridgestone Invitational.

"Feeling fit and ready to tee it up at Firestone next week. Excited to get back out there!" he tweeted.

By missing three months ? but only four tournaments he would typically play ? Woods has gone from No. 81 to No. 133 in the FedEx Cup standings. Only the top 125 players qualify for the opening round of the playoffs at The Barclays, likely leaving him only the Bridgestone Invitational and the PGA Championship next week to make up ground. Otherwise, he would have at least five weeks off without being able to play on the PGA Tour.

This was the third-longest layoff of his career, and there is as much uncertainty as ever about his future. He has gone more than 20 months without winning, and was last seen in golf shoes on May 12 at The Players Championship when he hobbled off the course after a 6-over 42 on the front nine and withdrew.

He already has had four surgeries on his left knee, and the left Achilles' gave him just as much trouble. He hurt both of them during the third round of the Masters, although the injuries were described as "minor" when he first mentioned the pain in May.

Along with his health, there has been change off the golf course. Woods left IMG when the contract of longtime agent Mark Steinberg was not renewed. The only endorsement deal for Woods since he returned from a devastating sex scandal was with a Japanese company to promote a heat rub.

Then came the firing of Williams, who caddied for Adam Scott at the U.S. Open, then angered his boss by working for the Australian again at the AT&T National without seeking permission.

The Golf Channel reported Thursday night that Bryon Bell, a childhood friend and president of Tiger Woods Design, would caddie for him at the Bridgestone Invitational. Bell has caddied for Woods three times ? a win at the 1999 Buick Invitational, a tie for second at the Buick Invitational when Woods gave him a chance to help defend, and a tie for second in 2003 at the Disney Classic when Woods gave Williams the week off for a car race in New Zealand.

Steinberg declined to confirm Bell would be on the bag, saying in a text message that "no long term been discussed yet as he just decided tonight he was fit and ready to go next week."

Bell would bring a level of familiarity to Woods, although Bell was implicated during Woods' sex scandal as allegedly arranging travel for one of his mistresses.

Woods has plunged to No. 21 in the world ? his lowest ranking since Jan. 26, 1997 ? and he could not get back to No. 1 even if he were to win his next three tournaments.

During his absence, Luke Donald rose to No. 1 in the ranking and 22-year-old Rory McIlroy shattered his scoring record in the U.S. Open at Congressional. Woods had said in July, when he appeared at the AT&T National because it benefits his foundation, that he learned his lesson and would not play again until he was fully healed.

Swing coach Sean Foley said he has talked with Woods twice in the last few weeks, although he has not been with him on the practice range. Woods said on his website that he only recently began practicing.

At least he is returning to a friendly course ? Woods has won seven times at Firestone, matching the most he has won on any course as a pro. However, he was at his low point on the course in the Bridgestone Invitational last year when he finished 78th in an 80-man field with the worst 72-hole score of his career. Before that, Woods had never finished out of the top five.

Woods missed the second half of the 2008 season following reconstructive knee surgery, then sat out five months after crashing his car into a fire hydrant on Thanksgiving night in 2009, changing his career on and off the golf course. His image tarnished, he lost four major corporate endorsements and still has not found an endorsement for his bag. He was divorced in August 2010 and shares custody of his two young children.

On the course, Woods has lost the aura he built while becoming the sport's most dominant figure in the last 40 years. He remains stuck on 14 majors ? the last one was in the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines ? and he nearly missed the cut the last time the PGA Championship was played at Atlanta Athletic Club in 2001.

No new reviews of any stories today from Fearless Girls, Wise Women & Beloved Sisters, we decided to take a week off. Expect a review of the next section next week. Today I want to talk a bit about expectations when it comes to reading and how it can affect our reading experiences, and I want your opinion.

Kailana and I were both really excited for this collection of fairy tales that promised to give us tales that featured fantastic female characters of all kind. The title promises fearless girls, it promises wise women, and it promises beloved sisters. Because it was defined as a ?definitive source? and ?the first of its kind to feature a variety of multicultural heroines? we came to the collection with very high expectations. Sadly, we are both feeling quite let down by the actual stories that we have been reading.

While the stories mostly all feature women, the male gaze is very present in many of them and the women are often relegated to side roles at the end or are ignored. Many of the ?heroines? only get ahead using the stereotypical and hated ?female guile? ? they are conniving, backstabbing, lying, etc. Lastly, I have been getting more and more disgusted by the notes Ragan includes at the end of her stories and how much they promote US culture over the cultures of the stories themselves.

There is no denying that many of these stories are a clear improvement on the traditional hero centered tales that feature women only as witches or princesses that need to be vanquished or rescued. There is no denying that there are more stories from around the world in this collection than in most others. There is no denying that this collection is more than we?ve had before. But somehow that doesn?t seem like enough. Because we had expected and the title promises so much, I feel justifiably more?let down than if it was just a regular fairy tale collection and I could express surprise and happiness at a few great stories.

Does anyone else ever have issues like this? Where a decent book ends up being a huge let down because of high expectations or promises on the books part??

To see more about the book and the stories I?m talking about you can see our earlier posts here:?Introduction, Stories from Europe part 1, Stories from Europe part 2, Stories from America,?a quick note, Stories from Asia part 1, Stories from Asia part 2.

And Kailana?s earlier posts:?Introduction,?Stories from Europe part 1,?Stories from Europe part 2, Stories from America, Stories from Asia part 1, Stories from Asia part 2.

If you regard messing around with the user-interface of a modern console, or even a modern iteration of Windows is hard, free a thought for any person entangled in Personal Computer gaming during the 1980s and early 90s.

Those audacious pioneers didn?t need icons, or dashboards. They used letters, and keen commands, that were the bread and butter of an working network called MS-DOS.

MS-DOS stood for ?Microsoft Disk Operating System?, and for over a decade was the first way many people interacted with their PC. Lacking a graphical user interface (like the rodent manage and deputy icons and bars of Windows), MS-DOS compulsory people to pick up order lines and punch them in to a stark, roughly vacant screen.

For example, say you longed for to fool around a game. You first had to navigate to the expostulate the diversion was stored be entering its e-mail (for many people, c:). Then you had to obtain to the printed matter the diversion was stored in (so, for example, c:gamestiefighter). Then you had to govern the record yourself (finding the name of the executable file, similar to tiefighter.exe). All this was completed by punching in partial commands, similar to c: to go to a disk, cd tiefighter to select a directory, etc.

MS-DOS came about in the early 1980s when Microsoft was selected by IBM to give the working network for a new line of PCs. Because they didn?t have a of their own, on July 27, 1981, they purchased something called 86-DOS (or Q-DOS, moreover well known as the quick-and-dirty-operating-system) from Seattle Computer Products. It cost Microsoft all of $75,000.

The first chronicle of MS-DOS was expelled in 1982, and would go on to be the many familiar means of working with a Personal Computer until the let go of Windows 95 in, well, 1995. While it wasn?t precisely easy to pick up the secrets of MS-DOS, once a gamer had turn pretty familiar with how it ran, they could take advantage of its tender adaptableness to customise their program to an border frequency probable today.

MS-DOS became so synonymous with the PC, in fact, that in many instances games is to stage were listed not as Personal Computer games, or IBM-PC games, but MS-DOS titles, declared is to working network and not the manufacturer.

Any old-fashioned Personal Computer gamer could no skepticism stop a time when hours, or even days were outlayed digging by commands and executables (or even creation one-off law ?boot disks?, that booted a network especially is to needs of a game.

My personal prime mental recall is, having purchased Wing Commander III upon release, we proceeded to outlay over a week perplexing to obtain it running on my 486 SX/33. Which was next the minimum mandate is to game. Eventually, someway , we pulled it off, and whilst it took roughly twenty mins to bucket a mission, the real diversion ran fine.

When Microsoft expelled Windows 95, its first major endeavor at an all-in-one working network with a graphical user interface, MS-DOS? days were numbered. Its final stable, authorized let go was in 2000, and in conditions of Microsoft applications it unequivocally usually lives on when you must be access Windows? order line interface.

That said, for Personal Computer gamers, the great aged days live on with fan-favourite focus DOSBox , that not usually creates a sound bombard inside of that aged Personal Computer games can run on modern hardware, but even forces the user to use aged DOS commands to beginning up their games.

Lindsay Lohan Calls Latest Drinking Reports "Absurd"

Lindsay Lohan is attempting to do some major damage control, after numerous reports say that the troubled starlet was partying hard last Saturday night in Hollywood.

According to RadarOnline, Lohan, 25, was "barely able to walk" when she left a friend's birthday party held at the Palihouse hotel. Sources say LiLo was doing shots and ordering martinis, which she would say were for a friend and then drink them herself.

But Lohan insists the drinking talk is false.

"Reports of me being intoxicated and not even able to stand are nothing but absurd," she told TMZ.com Monday.

One of Lindsay's friends concurs: "Lindsay walked out of the party fine and she never once couldn't stand up by herself. It's strange how someone can come up with such detailed lies."

Though Lohan is allowed to drink alcohol and is no longer required to take random drug and alcohol tests, a smashed LiLo is not going to sit well with Judge Stephanie Sautner. Just two days before Lindsay was reportedly stumbling out of a party, the judge reprimanded the actress for not taking her probation seriously enough.

Maybe Lindsay should take up a quiet, at-home hobby...like knitting.

Debt Consolidation Loans will combine a number of debts into one single loan. Debt consolidation loans are known as secured loans. These secured loans are one where the borrower uses something that they own as collateral for a loan. Debt consolidation loans will alter your loan so you end up paying a smaller monthly amount each month which is the main benefit of this type of lending.

Having less to pay each month makes life so much easier and frees up extra funds to cover other daily requirements. Debt consolidation loans are available to people in two different options. If you don?t want to use some sort of collateral against your loan, then the only way is for you to go for an unsecured loan.

A usual mortgage offer is around 30 years or a little bit less and some as low as 10 years. Refinancing your mortgage rate can make a massive difference in the way you live your life, including your work and family lifestyle. Currently due to the financial credit crunch in the US and UK mortgage interest rates are getting much lower but credit card interest is on the increase. Also some credit card providers are changing from fixed rates to variable so they can cash in on more interest which is something to avoid. We all need to keep a watch as best we can with regards to our mortgage and credit card interest rates, and where we can change the rate.

]]>

Lenders will sell debt consolidation loans by explaining how all your other debits will be put into just one payment. The end result will be a lower, easy to manage, new payment. By doing this you could end up with more cash at the end of the month to do what you want with, this can make life a little bit easier especially after having financial difficulties.

Most lenders will use the collateral of your home for you to borrow against, especially in the case of mortgages. The rate offered to you can rely heavily on your circumstances. Banks will only lend to you if there are sure you can pay it back, remember they make money from the set interest rate on the loan. They need to be sure you will pay back the money and the interest charged on top.

A bank loan for a person with a bad credit rating are called ?bad credit loans?. This type of loan can be used to finance various items. You could even finance a new car or even debt consolidation and personal loans in some circumstances. You will end up with smaller interest rates, an increase in the amount to pay back, smaller installments and a much longer time period for your repayments.

Any type of Lender can cause problems in our lives if you are not careful and they are not managed correctly. That?s why debt consolidation loans are the best solution that can help us with our financial problems.

It's been a lovely week with my family! My mom, step-dad, and brother went home today and I'll be going home on Saturday.

On Monday we went shopping at an outlet mall and had lunch at a chain restaurant called Yard House. They have a gigantic beer selection and surprisingly, an entire vegetarian menu featuring Gardein products! I got the BBQ Chicken Salad with no cheese and vinaigrette on the side, instead of the dressing it came with. I didn't want to make too many changes so I just picked off the fried onions and tortilla strips.

It was really delicious and flavorful, and I didn't even really need the dressing. It had romaine, corn, black beans, tomatoes, avocado, red pepper, carrots, Gardein "chicken" strips, and the fried onions and tortilla strips I picked out.

Mixed together:

Great lunch! It's always nice to find a chain in the Midwest that has nice vegan options.

We did some awesome outlet shopping, so I'm going to have great Fashion Friday posts coming up! But not this week, because I haven't been taking any outfit photos.

We invited my step-grandma over for dinner to celebrate her birthday. She became my mom's step-mom when my mom was in her twenties but she is the closest thing I have to a grandma. She just happens to live in the same town as my dad so we get to see her most of the times that we visit my dad. I think it's cool that my mom's step-mom hangs out with my dad and my step-mom, and she really loves my baby brother. My family tree is wayyy too confusing to draw.

Here she is blowing out the candle on her birthday cake:

The only candle we had was from baby brother's last birthday - a 1!

Dinner was veggie burgers, fruit salad, and corn on the cob. We had Amy's Quarter Pounders and everything was delicious.

And vegan carrot cake from the Merc for dessert! The Merc is a co-op grocery store in Lawrence. They usually only sell slices of cake, but my mom went in and asked if she could buy a whole one, so they defrosted one for us. It's the same cake I had on my last birthday, and it is delicious.

My step-dad was making my baby brother totally crack up!

Isn't he adorable?
