I'll be honest: budget knives are rarely on my radar. Not because I'm sitting on wads and wads of cash, but because most of the time budget knives are compromised in some way that triggers my snob reflex. There are exceptions, but those tend to stand so far above the rest of the field that it's easy to write off the entire category. Not every budget offering is a Kershaw Skyline or an Alox Cadet, but that doesn't mean they aren't good knives. Oftentimes, they're just flawed in some way that makes the knife community shrink away before taking a deeper look. One such product is the Kershaw Strobe.
The Strobe is a Chinese-made knife, designed by Matt Diskin and produced by Kershaw. Although Matt's designs aren't the trendiest, I prefer his design cues to other, more marketable names. Prior to the release of the Strobe, the only production with Matt's name on it was another Kershaw release, the Diskin Hunter.
I'll come out right now and say it: had Kershaw used the same materials on the Strobe that they did on the Hunter, this knife could have been the next Skyline. The combination of G10 and Sandvik 14c28n is one of the reasons I love Kershaw's stateside offerings, and to see them miss this opportunity is disheartening. Still, the Strobe is no slouch. Apart from one obvious design flaw (hopefully one Kershaw will address in a future release), the strengths of the Strobe carry it past the lackluster materials.
Perfectly sized for a "do-anything" work knife, the Strobe boasts a 3.3" blade, an overall length of 7.55", weighs in at 4.37 oz, and is made in China. It's a bit on the heavy side when compared to all stars like the Skyline, Mini-Grip, and some of the lightweight options from Spyderco, but in my two months of on-and-off carry the Strobe's weight hasn't been a real detriment. The blade is long enough to actually be justified, as opposed to knives with blade lengths that are just over the common limit of 3".
The blade itself is plain, but better for it. A narrow drop point profile is complemented by a funky angular swedge that sits at the middle of the spine, and the full flat grind matches the technical aesthetics behind the knife. It's quite impressive how wide of a blade Diskin managed to fit onto a (relatively) slim knife. There's a nearly perfect amount of belly to the blade, and it slices nearly as well as my Paramilitary 2.
8Cr13MoV is a pretty common choice for budget Chinese knives, and in this iteration I can't complain. Bead-blasted 8Cr is very susceptible to rust, but fortunately the Strobe comes with a nice stonewash. There's not a whole lot to say about this steel. It sharpens easily and holds a decent edge, but needs frequent touch-ups. While I don't have any complaints, I'm not impressed either. It's a solid choice given the country of origin.
However, it's harder for me to warm up to the handles. The plastic isn't even the problem – on the contrary, I think it's a great way for companies to produce contoured handles on budget knives. What really bugs me is the "K-Texture" pattern they used on the scales. It's not pronounced enough to improve the grip, so all it does is turn your pocketknife into an ad for Kai. From a distance the "K-Texture" looks like a simple geometric pattern, but in your hand it's pretty garish. To their credit, Kershaw and Zero Tolerance have been toning down the logos and branding on their products, but they clearly took a step backwards here. I can't advocate removing the scales (some have done so) as the scales help the grip, but it's the shape and thickness of the scales that help, not the texture.
Despite the disappointing handle scales, the Strobe is great in the hand. The shape of the handle locks the user's hand in place without generating any hotspots. Even the clip (which I thought would poke me right in the palm) fails to negatively impact the grip, but I will say that it could be problematic in someone else's hands. There is no jimping on the Strobe, which is definitely a welcome omission. I haven't once found myself wishing otherwise.
The Strobe carries fairly well. It doesn't need to be wrestled into or out of the pocket, but the clip is a bit tight on thicker pants. My feelings on the pocket clip are pretty polarized: on the one hand, the over-the-top clip is great. On the other, it lifts up pretty significantly to allow the clip room to slide over pockets, which makes it something of a paint scraper. It also snags on my jacket far too frequently. Is it a big issue? No, but I'd be lying if I said that it didn't rub me the wrong way.
Kershaw has been really dialing in their flippers across their product line, and the Strobe is no exception. The combination of a strong detent and the bearing pivot results in a flipper that fires almost every time. While the pull is a bit strong for my tastes, most of the knife community seems to prefer their flippers that way. And as much as I love the Skyline…the Strobe does deploy faster and more consistently.
Although some have billed the lock on the Strobe as a liner lock, it's really a framelock in disguise. I haven't noticed any blade play or lock rock, and the knife feels pretty stout. I do wish there was a larger cutout for disengaging the lock; as it stands, it's pretty easy for your thumb to slip off the lock when attempting to close the knife. Other than that I can't complain.
Viewed in a vacuum, the Strobe is a great value knife. It's readily available at big box stores, costs less than $30.00, and can take a beating. I've got major issues with the "K-Texture" on the handle scales (I'm not alone in that either) and a minor complaint concerning the clip, but in the grand scheme of things neither are mortal sins. When you compare it to other options around this price point, I don't think it's quite as competitive. Personally, I still think the Skyline blows it out of the water, with better steel, G10, and less weight. But the Skyline also costs around ten dollars more. If I had to choose between the Strobe and one of the Hinderer/Onion/Emerson collaborations at the same price point, I'd go with the Strobe most of the time.
If you're on a budget or enjoy budget knives, the Kershaw Strobe should definitely be on your radar. The lines of the design are pretty beautiful, and if it weren't for the K-Texture it'd be a great looking blade. It's probably out of the question for Kershaw to re-release the Strobe with better materials, but hopefully it sells well enough to merit future Diskin/Kershaw collaborations. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sand the "K's" off of my Strobe.

Editor: I recommend buying the Strobe at Amazon or BladeHQ. Please consider that purchasing anything through any of the links on this website helps support BladeReviews.com, and keeps the site going. As always, any and all support is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
I realize I am commenting on an old thread, but my comment is this: The scales on the Strobe are RIDICULOUSLY easy to replace. Remove three Torx screws per side and you have two plastic templates that will allow you to easily clone them in any material that you can manage (I replaced the ugly K-Texture with padauk wood finished with Waterlok, which is a hybrid varnish/oil finish, but if you have the equipment to machine titanium or agate, it could easily be done).
You misunderstand. I love the knife. I also love customizing my stuff. I also prefer natural to synthetic materials. The point of my post was the ease of customization. Why the hell would I spend $300 on a folder when I am perfectly happy with the Strobe I have?

Miami's construction boom will double the tax rolls of one of the nation's poorest cities by 2006, officials predict.
The $22.5 billion in taxable property on city rolls today would pass $40 billion if more than $17 billion in projects in the pipeline are completed. Rising taxes on existing property would add to that total.
"If everything gets built, our tax budget would double," Mayor Manny Diaz said.
And the city is forecasting that virtually everything will be completed.
Now, 233 major projects are in process, said Larry Spring, city budget and strategic planning chief, and everything that gets that far typically will be built eventually.
"From 2003 to 2004, we grew $3 billion in taxable value," Mr. Spring said. "Seventy-five percent was due to existing property and 25% on remaining new construction. As more and more new development is completed, the percentage of new construction will rise."
"The total tax roll today is $22.5 billion," he said. "I am currently putting together the budget forecast that will be completed in May. We expect a double-digit increase, another 10% minimum ($2 billion). But this is just a preliminary number. Expectations are that it will be larger."
The city's large-scale development report lists major projects awaiting approval. The number has increased by 24 since October, said Luciana Lamardo-Gonzalez, special projects coordinator for the city's planning department.
Listed are 233 mixed-used projects that would include 66,648 residential units at a projected construction cost of more than $17 billion, Ms. Lamardo-Gonzalez said. Of those, 32 have been finished at $2 billion; 33, for $3.7 billion, are rising now.
Another 64, at a cost of $7.9 billion, have been approved; 25, for $2.7 billion, are in the application phase; and 79, at $724 million, are in preliminary steps, she said.
"Looking at it as a seamless project, it would take about two years before hitting tax rolls," Mr. Spring said. "Next year, we estimate a double-digit gain in tax-base increase at a minimum, 15% over this year. This year was about 17%. Condos are moving strong – we estimate a 12% increase for 2006."
"At this point, there is no evidence of city projects slowing down," Mayor Diaz said. "I've met with developer Africa Israel, who has several plans for the city, and Royal Palm, none of which is yet in the city plan, so we are still growing."
Africa Israel Investments Ltd., an international holding and investment company, plans projects in Park West and the Omni area, the mayor said. The Performing Arts Center Trust is considering a deal with the firm to develop parking.
Much property in Miami is tax-exempt. The preliminary value assessment of sites exempt from taxes last year was a little more than $10.2 billion, or 31.2% of the $32.6 billion in total city property.
Real and personal taxes brought the city $178 million last year, up $22 million from 2003. Next year, Mr. Spring said, he anticipates another rise of more than $20 million. An estimate of growth in 2006 is due in May.
The jump in taxes is not a net gain. Costs rise with growth. "As the city becomes denser," Mr. Spring said, "additional expenses on police and firefighters are necessary."


Sports bras are intended to provide support, motion control, and a snug fit for the breasts during exercise or sports. The right sports bra for an individual means purchasing one that is the best fit for your comfort requirements and support, accurately fits your bust size, and matches your level of activity. A proper fit is important in order to obtain the maximum in comfort and motion control during exercise.
Many women do not know how to choose the proper bra size, and as a result are wearing ill-fitting bras. To prevent this from happening, measure around your chest, under the arms, and just above the breasts. If your chest measurement is an odd number, round it up to the next even number. To fit the cup size, measure around the fullest part of your bus, and if it is in between numbers, round it up or down to the nearest whole number. The cup size is based on the difference between the chest measurement and the bust measurement with a 1" difference being an "A" cup and a 5" difference being a "DD" cup.
Since sports bras support the breasts and minimize the motion of them during exercise, it's important to find a bra that provides enough support for your level of activity. Most sports bras are rated by level of activity, and should be purchased based on that. The higher the impact of the activity, the more support that you need while you are performing that activity.
There are a variety of styles from which to choose, but it's more important to look for the proper fit and support first, and then look for the style you want within that area. You must concern yourself with fit and capability before you worry about the style. Look at it as you would if you were a waitress buying a pair of comfortable shoes because it is similar in that a waitress wearing ill-fitting shoes stands to cause damage to her back and legs, and an athlete or someone who exercises frequently can cause the delicate ligaments in the breast to stretch with an ill-fitting sports bra.


Per-Incident Support is designed to meet the needs of everyone from single users to enterprise-level consumers and organizations of all sizes.
An incident is defined as a question relating to a specific, discrete issue and may involve several interactions with the eXtremeSHOK team prior to resolution. Separate support incidents must be purchased for assistance with multiple support issues.
Support incident credits expire in either 3 or 6 or 12 months from the date of purchase. For more complex projects that deal with anything outside of core, we offer professional services.
If you purchased a dedicated server from us, you should have received an information card with activation instructions. Once registered, you will have two support incidents automatically added to your account. If those incident credits have been exhausted or you have not purchased a dedicated server from us, standard subscriptions incident credits can be purchased.
Incident credits are available in 2, 4 or 8 incident packs. By purchasing a 4 or 8 incident credit pack, you can take advantage of a built-in discount. Per-Incident Support fees are non-refundable.

Where do I request support?
If you have an account you can also email the admin's directly, this email is not to be used for billing and account queries.
What is a Support Incident / Ticket?
An Incident is a single support issue and the reasonable effort that is required to resolve it, as defined by the Terms and Conditions of Use. A single support issue is a problem that cannot be broken down into subordinate issues. If a problem consists of subordinate issues, each of these issues shall be considered a separate incident. An incident will relate to one specific feature, function, action, or facet of the software, or one aspect of its operation or performance. The definition of an incident may be expanded to include accompanying occurrences, or events that arise as a consequence of, or are dependent on it.
What does not count as an incedent?
Can support be paid for on an hourly basis?
Due to high demand we offer On-Call / Emergency support which is charged charged per hour and does not require active support incident credits.
How fast will the initial response to my support request be?
We have a standard SLA of 24 hours for a response. We strive to ensure that all tickets have an initial response within 4 hours during that time frame.
How quick will my problem be resolved?
Are you providing 24/7 Support?
Our support hours are 08:00 – 00:00 UTC Monday – Friday, excluding holidays and 09:00 – 20:00 UTC Saturday, Sunday and holidays for severe issues. If you require support outside of that time frame, advance notice is required and the support time is billed separately. If you have a request for additional support on an after-hours project, please contact us.
How many incidents are needed for a very complex issue?
No support incident will consume more than sixty (60) minutes of time. If it is estimated that a solution to an incident will take longer, the customer should be advised that an additional incident will be exhausted or that additional incidents will need to be purchased.
Do you refund unused incidents?
There are no refunds on the purchase of support. Any unused incidents will expire at the end of their relative term.
We provide On-Call / Emergency support which is charged per hour and does not require active support incident credits.

Q: What does casting to int8_t* even mean in C++? Consider the following program:
#include <iostream>
#include <limits.h>

using std::cout;

int main() {
    // 281474976710656 is 0x0001000000000000
    int64_t arr[] = {281474976710656, LONG_MAX};
    int64_t nal = (int64_t)arr + 1;

    int64_t deref = *(int8_t *)nal;
    int64_t deref_as_64p = *(int64_t *)nal;

    std::stringstream derefs, deref_as_64ps;
    derefs << std::hex << deref;
    deref_as_64ps << std::hex << deref_as_64p;

    cout << std::hex << derefs.str() << "\n";
    cout << std::hex << deref_as_64ps.str() << "\n";
}

The output in my machine is:
0
ff00010000000000

What I expect is:

*

*1 Because if arr is the pointer to some byte B then nal should be the pointer to B + 1. When I convert it to int8_t, I expect to get the next 8 bits starting from B + 1.

*1000000000000FF 64 bits from B + 1.

Where do numbers I got came from?
Clarification:
I am aware of undefined behavior in integer to pointer conversion and unaligned access.
My architecture is x86, more specifically:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz

My kernel is:
5.5.5-arch1-1

I am interested in all the explanations that include platform-specific details.

A: Though the behavior you see is, as others have said, undefined by the C++ standard, it seems not terribly helpful to stop there. What you see is exactly what you should expect from a straightforward translation of your source code into machine code by a reasonable compiler for a little-endian architecture on a system with a 64-bit or smaller address space that permits unaligned accesses and whose 'long' type is 32 bits. An optimizing compiler might do strange things since it detects that you're doing something with undefined behavior, but with optimizations off, or when using what I'd call a reasonable compiler even with high optimization, the results you see are exactly what you'd expect on such a system.
Your main point of confusion is probably related to the endianness. Your arr[] array is probably not stored in memory byte-for-byte like you expect. Here, I've defined arrays with the same byte layout in two different ways:
// 281474976710656 is 0x0001000000000000
int64_t arr[] = { 0x0001000000000000, 0x000000007fffffff }; //  { 281474976710656, LONG_MAX };
// ...on a little endian machine (like x86), the bytes of that array are stored like this:
int8_t arr8[] = { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00,
                  0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0x7f, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 };

In little-endian format (a very common format), the hardware interprets the lowest-address byte as the lowest-order (least significant) byte, and the highest-address byte as the highest-order (most significant) byte. Though it's more confusing when looking at a memory dump, there is a small potential performance advantage to this order: When you cast a multibyte scalar value from a wider width to a smaller width (e.g. from int64_t to int32_t), on a little-endian system, the address in memory of the smaller object is the same address as the larger (uncast) object. In a big-endian system, the addresses are necessarily different. On the little-endian system, if the compiler wishes to optimize a read access of a scalar value that will be cast to a smaller type, it can just emit an instruction to read the smaller type in the first place from the same address that it would have read the larger type. In a big-endian system, the compiler would have to issue an additional instruction to adjust the address before reading it (or issue a larger instruction that adjusts the address as it reads it). (Or, read the entire larger object & then mask off the top portion; any way you look at it, on a big-endian system, it can't be more efficient than that same operation on an otherwise identical little-endian system.)
Anyway, back to your code...
When your code casts arr to an int64_t and adds 1 to it, what you get is the address of the bold byte:

int8_t arr8[] = { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0x7f, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 };

So when when you cast that as an (int8_t *) and dereference it, you're reading the single byte at that address and getting 0x00.
When your code then casts the same nal pointer as (int64_t *), because that unaligned access is permitted on your system, what you get is the 8 bold bytes below...

int8_t arr8[] = { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0x7f, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 };

...but the hardware reads it in little-endian format. That's why you're getting ff0001000000000000 instead of 100ff...
...which is another point: I'm not sure why you were expecting 1000000000000FF; I don't think that's a reasonable expectation on any system (undefined behavior notwithstanding). On a big-endian system, your arr[] array's byte layout would be like this:
int8_t arr8[] = { 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
                  0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x7f, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff };

And if you cast nal as an (int64_t) on a big-endian system (all other traits being the same, including permitting unaligned accesses), you'd get the bold bytes below...

int8_t arr8[] = { 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x7f, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff };

...read by the hardware in big-endian format, giving you the resulting string 100000000000000.

Q: Rebinding MVC Models with multiple array selections I have read somewhat on the post-redirect-get design pattern and I'm not sure if it works for my purpose as what I have is an MVC site which is design to look like an application, I have multiple dropdowns on the page which all bind to an integer array as below in my controller:
    [HttpPost]
    public ViewResult ResponseForm(PartyInvites.Models.GuestResponse response, int[] SelectedCustomer)
    {

       return View(response); // works but resets all my selected dropdowns
       // return View(); // gives an error that it can't rebind items in view

    }

My View:
@foreach (Schedule sched in Model.Schedules)
        {
@Html.DropDownList("MySelectedCustomer", new SelectList(sched.Customers, "Id", "FirstName"), "Select A Customer", new { @class = "SelectedCustomer" })

}

The GuestResponse:
public class GuestResponse
    {
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "You must enter your name")]
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string SomeString = "someString";
        public string Email { get; set; }
        public string Phone { get; set; }
        public bool? WillAttend { get; set; }
        public int SelectedSchedule = 0;
        public int SelectedCustomer = 0;

        public List<Schedule> Schedules
        {
            get
            {
                return new List<Schedule>() { new Schedule() { ScheduleName = "party1", ScheduleId = 1 }, new Schedule() { ScheduleId = 2, ScheduleName = "party2" } };
            }
            set
            {
                Schedules = value;
            }
        }
    }

The SelectCustomer property is a property on the GuestResponse class. All the dropdowns are bound and if I change a few they bind nicely to the int[] SelectedCustomer collection. However I want to return my View back (so it does nothing essentially) but this resets all the dropdowns to their original state as the response was never fully bound because there was multiple dropdowns and MVC couldn't model bind to it. What it the best way of doing this so it maintains state so to speak?

A: The correct way to handle this is to use a view model instead of passing your domain models to the view.
But if you don't want to follow good practices you could generate your dropdowns like this as a workaround:
for (int i = 0; i < Model.Schedules.Count; i++)
{
    @Html.DropDownList(
        "MySelectedCustomer[" + i + "]",
        new SelectList(
            Model.Schedules[i].Customers,
            "Id",
            "FirstName",
            Request["MySelectedCustomer[" + i + "]"]
        ),
        "Select A Customer",
        new { @class = "SelectedCustomer" }
    )
}

The correct way is to have a property of type int[] SelectedCustomers on your view model and use the strongly typed version of the DropDownListFor helper:
for (int i = 0; i < Model.Schedules.Count; i++)
{
    @Html.DropDownListFor(
        x => x.SelectedCustomers,
        Model.Schedules[i].AvailableCustomers,
        "Select A Customer",
        new { @class = "SelectedCustomer" }
    )
}

and your POST controller action will obviously take the view model you defined as parameter:
[HttpPost]
public ViewResult ResponseForm(GuestResponseViewModel model)
{
    // The model.SelectedCustomers collection will contain the ids of the selected
    // customers in the dropdowns

    return View(model);
}

And since you mentioned the Redirect-After-Post design pattern, this is indeed the correct pattern to be used. In case of success you should redirect to a GET action:
[HttpPost]
public ViewResult ResponseForm(GuestResponseViewModel model)
{
    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        // the model is invalid => redisplay the view so that the user can fix
        // the errors
        return View(model);
    }

    // at this stage the model is valid => you could update your database with the selected
    // values and redirect to some other controller action which in turn will fetch the values
    // from the database and correctly rebind the model
    GuestResponse domainModel = Mapper.Map<GuestResponseViewModel, GuestResponse>(model);
    repository.Update(domainModel);

    return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

A: Note:  I'm first addressing why it's not binding anything, but that's not addressing the array issue, which I will get to afterwards.  Where most people go wrong with MVC is that they do not take advantage of the built-in features of MVC to deal with these situations.  They insist on doing foreach's and manually rendering things, but do not take into account the collection status.
The reason why the values are reset is because you are using Html.DropDownList() rather than Html.DropDownListFor(), and you are renaming the posted property name to a different name than your model property name.
You could simply change it to this:
@Html.DropDownList("SelectedCustomer", // note the removal of "My"
    new SelectList(sched.Customers, "Id", "FirstName"),
    "Select A Customer", new { @class = "SelectedCustomer" })

However, you would not have had this issue, and saved yourself a huge headache if you had just used the strongly typed version.
@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.SelectedCustomer,
    new SelectList(sched.Customers, "Id", "FirstName"),
    "Select A Customer", new { @class = "SelectedCustomer" })

As for the Array, you should use an EditorTemplate for Schedules, and in that EditorTemplate you simply create your html as if it were a single item.  That's the great thing about Editor/DisplayTemplates is that they automatically deal with collections.
Create a folder in your Views/Controller folder called EditorTemplates.  In that folder, create an empty file called Schedule.cshtml (assuming Schedules is a List or array of Schedule).  In that, you have code to render a single schedule.
EDIT:
Darin brings up a good point.  I would make a small change to the model and add a Selected property to both Schedule and GuestResponse, then you can use Linq to return the selected schedule and it would simplify things.
EDIT2:
You some conflicts between the problem you've described and the code you've shown.  I suggest you figure out exactly what you're trying to do, since your code does not really reflect a viable model for this.

I would drive way out of my way to rent from these good folks... they're always on the lookout for ways they can be of help to their customers.
The after hours drop off was a little confusing. It is a very small location and there wasn't a clearly marked place to leave the truck. The location was easy to find, and since it was late there was no person to talk to so I can not comment on their friendliness.
Once again did not have the dolly's I ordered, I ended up buying a dolly from ACE. There were no signs indicating where the uhaul rental place was, the location was a liquor store, with some trucks near it.
No office, no clear direction where to park or leave keys. Very poor availability of space to park uhauls. After searching around I found a key dropbox and left keys but there were two young guys hanging around the Dropbox which made me nervous they were going to take the keys as soon as I left. Shortly after leaving I got a call they couldn't find the keys, tried returning the call and nobody answered/no voicemail. Worst location I have been too and I have used uhaul 5 times in 5 years.
Noone ever answers the phone! How can you get help with the truck? How do i prolong the the amount of time i have the truck if i cant speak to anyone. Ever been charged for insurance everyday? Uhaul charged me $400 for 4 days when i went 70 miles and had a $39 a day truck. Worst experience of my life finacially and customer service wise. I would advise anyone and everyone to CHOOSE ANY OTHER TRUCK RENTAL AVAILABLE. I have half a mind to contact BBB!
Nothing, this location and service is second to none. Not to mention the support over the phone on a pre-open checkout.
i know these guys from other aspects, such as their storage facilities. i have rented from here before, and always great friendly professional service here!
Service was terrible. The day before the move I was called and told that the location I was supposed to go to pick up my truck didn't have the truck I ordered. The original truck was supposed to be 2 miles from my house. Setting up my account was a nightmare. I was told I was going to get emails but they never came through. I had to call over and over again to get the correct email. The next morning I was at the location that I was told to go at the time I was told to go. The app would not pull up on my phone. I called yet again. It finally come out so I could start the check in process. Went through the very long process to finally reach the end and the lock would not open. Another 15 minutes trying the lock. Called the number on the prompt if you are having problems. The prompt said that that number was 24/7 covered. It was not. I had to leave 2 messages before I received a call back. The gentleman's name was Mark. He said I would be compensated for my problems. So far I have not been. Terrible experience.
It was very difficult to find, especially in rush hour traffic. The business itself is not well marked and the only way we knew it was possibly where we needed to go was because we saw 1 UHaul truck. But, it was sitting next to the tattoo business in the same building and not next to the liquor store where the UHaul agent was located. It was very confusing.
Truck drive like a dream, process was very easy!
I ordered a utility dolly and it was not on the truck at the time of pick up. This is a liquor store that didn't open until 11:00am self serve pick up. Thanks to a gentleman from uhaul, Mark saved the day. So didn't get on the road for 1 hour after arrival to pick up.

Q: An interpolation argument about homogeneous Sobolev spaces I am studying the book Fourier Analysis and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations by Hajer Bahouri, Jean-Yves Chemin and Raphaël Danchin. I am trying to understand a statement in the Remark 1.44 (section 1.3.2).
Let us recall that we define
$$
\dot{H}^s(\mathbb{R}^d)=\{u \in S'(\mathbb{R}^d): \hat{u} \in L^1_{loc} \mbox{ such that } \|u\|_{\dot{H}^s(\mathbb{R}^d)} < +\infty\}
$$
where
$$
\|u\|_{\dot{H}^s(\mathbb{R}^d)}=\int_{\mathbb{R}^d}|\xi|^{2s}|\hat{u}(\xi)| d\xi.
$$
Thanks to the following embedding theorem:
Theorem: $\|u\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)} \leq C_d \frac{p}{\sqrt{p-2}}\|u\|_{\dot{H}^s(\mathbb{R}^d)}$ for $p=\frac{2d}{d-2s}$ and where $C_d$ only depends on $d$.
the authors remark (and this is where I found problems) that observing $\|u \|_{L^2}=C \|u\|_{\dot{H}^0(\mathbb{R}^d)}$ we can conclude that if $2<p<4$:
$$\|u\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)} \leq C' \sqrt{p} \cdot \|u\|_{\dot{H}^s(\mathbb{R}^d)}$$
for a constant $C'$ which does not depend on $p$. Thus the constant does not explode when $p$ goes to $2$ from above.

A: I do not know exactly why they obtain a constant with a $\sqrt p$ but it is indeed true that the constant does not blow-up at $p=2$ and indeed one can prove that by the method of complex interpolation:

*

*By the theorem you mention, the identity map $\mathrm{Id} : u\mapsto u$ is continuous from $\dot{H}^s$ to $L^p$ and with norm $M_p \leq C_d \frac{p}{\sqrt{p-2}}$. On the other hand, $\mathrm{Id} : u\mapsto u$ is of course continuous from $L^2$ to $L^2$ with norm $M_2 = 1$, hence by complex interpolation, for any $s\in(0,\sigma)$ and for $p = \frac{2d}{d-2s}$ and $q = \frac{2d}{d-2\sigma}$
$$
M_p \leq M_2^{s/\sigma} M_q^{1-s/\sigma} \leq C_d \left(\frac{q}{\sqrt{q-2}}\right)^{1-s/\sigma}.
$$
Then indeed, by taking for example $q=4$ (and so $\sigma = d/4$) on obtains that for any $p\in[2,4]$, $M_p \leq \left(\frac{4\,C_d}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^{1-4s/d} = \left(2\sqrt{2}\,C_d\right)^{1-4s/d}$, and so
$$
\|u\|_{L^p} \leq \left(2\sqrt{2}\,C_d\right)^{1-4s/d} \|u\|_{\dot{H}^s}.
$$
Of course, up to replacing $C_d$ by $C_d+1$, I can assume that $2\sqrt{2}\,C_d \geq 1$, and write $(2\sqrt{2}\,C_d)^{1-4s/d}\leq \sqrt{2}\,C'_d$. Moreover, $\sqrt{2} \leq \sqrt{p}$ so indeed one can rewrite the eqaution as $\|u\|_{L^p} \leq C_d\,\sqrt p\,\|u\|_{\dot{H}^s}$, but there is nothing special about this $\sqrt p$ as far as I can see?

Finnish Organisation Acquires Swedes in the States & Renames It 'Finns in the States'
Swedes in the States has been acquired by a Finnish government organization and will after today continue operations as Finns in the States.
Earlier this morning, negotiations between Swedes in the States management and a Finnish government organization finally came to an end. At an undisclosed amount, all Swedes in the States media platforms, including the event management arm, has been sold and will now be under the lead of the Finnish government.
The reason for the acquisition? They were sick and tired of Swedes living abroad.
"Sweden and Swedes have always had a superiority complex" "They generally consider themselves better than the other Nordic countries, and the popularity of the Swedes in the States media platform clearly proves to what extent this problem has grown," said Olavi Ypiinääneen, head of the organization Finns Abroad. "It was time we put a stop to the nonsense," he said.
Iceland's president commented on the news on Twitter saying, "Finland has done all the surrounding Nordic countries a big favor. It's going to be nice to finally see less of Sweden in all our social media feeds,"
In an open letter on the website, Swedes in the States founder & CEO, Natalie Söderberg, writes: "I was, as one would expect, surprised and disappointed to hear that our platform had caused such annoyance with our neighboring countries, but it is what it is, the check was too big for me to turn down, so Swedes in the States will, moving forward, be known as Finns in the States"
The redesign of Finns in the States platforms will begin this week. According to Finns in the States, the reorganization of the company is already underway with multiple Swedish employees being fired in favor of new Finnish employees.

Games of 2018: Darksiders 3
By Jamie Mikolajewski January 19, 2018 126 views
What game is more appropriate to rise from the ashes than a game about the four Horseman of the Apocalypse? In all honestly, Darksiders 3 should not exist, especially after the closing of THQ in 2012. But, thankfully, after the acquisition by Nordic Games in 2014, THQ Nordic was born. Some may have forgotten about this once promising series, but Darksiders 3 is still one of my most anticipated games of 2018.
Title: Darksiders 3
Publisher: THQ Nordic
Developer: Gunfire Games
Release Date: Q4 2018
Originally planned as four games, Darksiders is a mash-up of The Legend of Zelda dungeon exploration and God of War style combat. In each game you take control of one of four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The first Darksiders had you play as War, Darksiders 2 as Death, and now, in Darksiders 3, you play as the series first female protagonist, Fury. Instead of a sword or a synth, Fury will brandish a whip for taking down her enemies. Early trailers make the new combat appear very similar to the Bayonetta series, with plenty of quick attacks and nimble dodging.
One great thing about the Darksiders series is that all of the stories play parallel with each other. Because of this, you don't necessarily have to play them in order, though I highly suggest it (especially since you can get both Darksiders and Darksiders 2 remastered in one package for under $40). Without spoiling too much of the series, the story focuses around the Horseman War, who has been accused of breaking the truce between Heaven and Hell. He is put on trial before the Charred Council because he arrived on Earth too early – before the seventh seal broke. The Horsemen must now work together to clear War's name and free him from these false accusations.
As mentioned above, Darksiders 3 shouldn't exist. That alone is worth celebrating. The fact that it merges together the familiarity of The Legend of Zelda, God of War, Bayonetta, and more should at least intrigue most gamers. The story for Darksiders 3 sounds interesting, as it will have Fury take down physical forms of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Those afraid that a new team will be handling the series should put those thoughts aside. According to an interview with IGN, THQ Nordic is made up of most of the original Darksiders team, including the "Game Director, Executive Producer, Technical Director, Lead Environment Artist, and more."
If all goes according to THQ Nordic's plan, we should soon see the announcement of Darksiders 4, where you'll be able to finish the series, playing as the final Horseman, Strife.
My biggest concerns with this game all steam from the fact THQ and the original Darksiders team no longer exist. While this may end up not being an issue, we don't know how much of the series original vision is still in tact. On top of that, games have greatly evolved since Darksiders 2 in 2012. Games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Horizon: Zero Dawn and more, have changed the landscape and gamer expectations. Hopefully, the resurrection of the series has inspired this team to make changes and evolve with the times.
The Darksiders series has never been a major seller. The first two games in the series sold roughly 1 million units each. While not terrible, THQ Nordic shouldn't expect Horizon Zero Dawn numbers. This will really come down to hardcore fans of the franchise, such as myself, picking up the game. With good reviews and strong word-of-mouth, hopefully, sales will receive a boost. This is a fantastic series that has fallen under most gamers radars, and I would hate to see it not reach its final conclusion.
So, are you excited for Darksiders 3? What changes do you think THQ Nordic will make to the series? Let me know in the comments down below!

Adapted from the November 2009 McDougall Newsletter. This is an alternative to the earlier not cho cheese sauce recipe posted previously. This one relies on cashews more which makes it thicker and more like cheese sauce. While it doesn't have chilis in it, any type of spicy seasoning can be added to suit your taste.
Place the cashews in a blender jar (a high-speed blender like the Vita-Mix makes this much smoother and creamier) and add just enough of the water to cover the cashews. Process until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and process again until very smooth and creamy. Add more water if necessary to get the consistency that you want. Using less water will make this more spreadable, using more water will make it more sauce-like.
Hints: If you soak the cashews for at least an hour or two before processing the mixture, it will be smoother. Soak them in water to cover and then drain before using in the recipe. Start out with 2 tablespoons of the nutritional yeast and add more for a "cheesier" flavor. The flavors are more intense if you make this at least a day before you want to use it. This will keep in the refrigerator for about 1 week. Use to top vegetables, drizzle on pizza, or spread on a sandwich. Try making this into a "Grilled Cheese" sandwich with tomatoes and basil. Just spread on the "cheese" and grill on a dry non-stick pan until brown on both sides.

Troy Baker Talks Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Far Cry 4
Veteran video game actor Troy Baker is starring in most of the biggest blockbusters on store shelves this Christmas, and he talked with Shacknews about his roles in Far Cry 4 and Call of Duty.
John Gaudiosi
Veteran video game actor Troy Baker is starring in most of the biggest blockbusters on store shelves this Christmas, including Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment's LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Baker talks about playing both good and evil as the villain Pagan Min in Ubisoft's Far Cry 4 and the hero Jack Mitchell in Activision's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare in this exclusive interview.
What was the challenge of stepping into the Call of Duty franchise?
We knew when we were making it that this was going to be something really cool. I'm a huge Call of Duty fan, like I've been playing Call of Duty since the beginning. I'd been playing it on PC and even I started to get to the point of like, "How do you keep this thing alive and how do you not make it so repetitive?"
What was it like acting with Kevin Spacey?
Now we're at a point that the storytelling is so good and we've got people that are really hip, like Kevin is such a champion for new media in general. He was an obvious choice. Sledgehammer didn't get Kevin because they wanted a big star. They went after Kevin before House of Cards, and once House of Cards blew up it was like now we really got to get him because that character Jonathan Irons is so similar to Frank Underwood. If you talk to Kevin he'll tell you that Frank Underwood is really Richard the III, which is clearly something that Kevin's been intimately involved with over the last 10 years. It's just crazy to see how much the game space has developed over the last five years, man.
What has performance capture opened up for you, especially since in those early days you just had to stand in a booth and read off lines?
With the advent of technology, it's provided more opportunities for us to craft a better experience. And that comes with better graphics and a much more powerful processors that we have in these new consoles. We have a much more savvy gamer and it takes more to engage them with so much competition vying for their attention. We're shooting these games just like we would shoot a TV show or a film.
When we did Call of Duty it was spread out over several months, but we had a three camera set up. We had three cameramen that were in there capturing us and basically editing in-camera so that we're getting the shots that you see in the game. But we're on the stage without the sets, props, wardrobe and make-up, without anything.
How does that compare to your traditional Hollywood work?
It's always funny when I talk to a friend of mine that does film, because nobody thought that this is where we were going to end up. I remember him telling me about playing this bad ass warrior and it's completely not him. But then he'd get into the wardrobe and sit in that make-up chair and get the wig and scar and grab the sword and he became that guy. Then I told him what my situation looks like, "What if your wardrobe is a spandex jumpsuit with ping pong balls on it and your make-up is 64 dots that are all over your face that make you look like you are in desperate need of ProActive?"
The thing I like about games is it really challenges you to boil that character down to a quintessential element. It's all about what you bring to that character and how you partner up with your other cast members and the development team. You really have to get over yourself and your ego because you look ridiculous. So it's all about how stupid are you willing to look? How foolish are you willing to act? And sometimes in those moments that are devoid of ego you really get something cool.
The Ubisoft Montreal producers said you helped develop the character of Pagan Min for Far Cry 4. How active are you with developing these characters?
I love that team and I've been such a fan of Ubisoft. They clearly understood what's happening in the game space with the Far Cry and Assassin's Creed franchises and they're gamers. They want to make a really good experience. They sat me down and said, "We're very aware of what you do and we've got this guy that we want you to take a stab at, which we think you'd be right for." They told me a little bit of backstory and kind of give me some ideas, but really kept it open to what my interpretation was. One instruction they did give me was that they didn't want the Joker from Batman: Arkham Origins, which I had just done. They wanted to craft a timeless villain, especially coming off of Far Cry 3 where the character Vaas resonated with people.
How difficult was it to try to top Vaas Montenegro?
What's interesting is he wasn't even the main villain, but he was who you were drawn to. He was sexy. He was dangerous, and people loved him. They were scared shitless of him, but they loved him. Ubisoft wanted to somehow iterate on top of that, but not repeat it and not have Pagan be the same character. We looked at what the key elements were that made him so appealing, not necessarily likable, but appealing. We spent a lot of time before we started filming to explore who this guy was. And you discover things through the scenes because that's the whole purpose of telling a story -- character meets obstacle and obstacle reveals something about character.
You always should be learning something new about that character through every scene. I certainly did. During filming we'd stop and talk about it, "Is this going to work for or against the character?" They were really open to having those kinds of conversations and it's just fun. I love playing bad guys, especially one as deliciously manipulative and evil and dashingly handsome and stylish as Pagan Min is for sure.

Q: Proving inequalities, equations including limits
Let $t_n=\sqrt[n]{\sqrt{n}}$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$
1) show that $\sqrt{n}=t^n_{n}=((t_n-1)+1)^n\geq1+n(t_n-1)$

Let $x\geq0$
$$(1+x)^n=1+nx+\binom{n}{2}x^2+...+x^n\geq1+nx$$
Suppose $t_n<1$
I'm not sure where to go from here.

2) Show that $0\leq t_n-1\leq\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}-\frac{1}{n}$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and show that $t_n\rightarrow 1$ for $n\rightarrow\infty$

Im thinking I need to show that $t_n-1$ and $\sqrt{n}$ are defined by something, from (1). Not certain if I could do it without finishing (1).

3) $\sqrt[n]{n}=t^2_{n}\rightarrow 1$ for $n\rightarrow\infty$

Here I need the fact that the limit of $t_n=1$. And then I could do the following.
$$\lim_{n\to\infty} \sqrt[n]{n}$$
$$=>\lim_{n\to\infty} t_n^2$$
$$=>(\lim_{n\to\infty} t_n)(\lim_{n\to\infty} t_n)$$
$$=>(1)(1)=1$$

Any hints would be appreciated

A: Your answer is a bit confused. That's what I understood.
You have a sequence $t_n=n^{\frac{1}{2n}}$ and you have to find the limit as $n\to\infty$
Take $$\log\lim_{n\to\infty}n^{\frac{1}{2n}}=\lim_{n\to\infty}\,\log n^{\frac{1}{2n}}=\lim_{n\to\infty}\,\frac{\log n}{2n}=^{L'Hopital}\lim_{n\to\infty}\,\frac{\frac{1}{n}}{2}=0$$
If $\log\lim\,t_n=1$ then $\lim\, t_n=e^0=1$
that is also the limit of $\sqrt[n]{n}$
Hope this helps

A: As $$n>1$$ so is also $$t_n=\sqrt[2n]n>1.$$ Thus you get 1) by your previous considerations. Then from 1) follows
$$
\sqrt n\ge 1+n(t_n-1)\iff t_n-1\le \frac1{\sqrt n}-\frac1n
$$
and from there you get the convergence.

Anson on Thursday: What the Araujo family did next after selling to Latour owner
Jane Anson March 24, 2016
The new Araujo family, Accendo Cellars, Sauvignon Blanc 2013.
Long Read Wine Articles
Bart and Daphne Araujo have started again after selling their namesake California wine estate to one of France's richest men, Francois Pinault, who also owns Château Latour in Bordeaux. Jane Anson finds out about the new Araujo wine venture - and predicts good things to come.
Both properties are a breath from the Silverado Trail, that stunning paradise of a road that runs parallel to Highway 29 in Napa Valley.
The original Araujo Estate lies just outside the Calistoga city limits to the upper end of the Valley. Arriving a little late, I drive right past the subtle entrance that bears the legend Eisele Vineyard and within minutes end up in a dead-end halfway up a mountain. That's how it is here; from manicured to nowhere within the blink of an eye. I back up and head into one of the most perfectly-proportioned wineries that I have ever visited; verdant, shaded, redwood barns, chickens, bee hives, apricot trees, stillness. It's no surprise to learn that former owner Daphne Araujo was a landscape gardener before turning to winemaking.
READ: Château Latour's Francois Pinault buys Araujo Estate
The new 'Araujo 2.0' as they call it was bought by Bart and Daphne within months of selling their former home to François Pinault's Artemis Group in 2013. The search for new fruit to continue making wine began within hours of signing the sale papers. I drive down to them straight from Calistoga, heading around 15 minutes further south towards Rutherford and Oakville.
Accendo Cellars
Newly-baptised Accendo Cellars – they have left their family name with their former home under the terms of the sales contract 'with the possibility of reclaiming it if Artemis decide to use just Eisele' – is the first property you come to after turning off the Silverado Trail onto one of those cross roads that winds you back to the busier side of the Valley. It may be the most eagerly awaited new release in Napa right now.
Details of the project have been kept a closely guarded secret, but the first wine – a 2014 Sauvignon Blanc, one of the grapes that they were most celebrated for at Eisele Vineyard – will hit the market next month.
A 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon follows later this year. And judging by my tasting of both, they are going to prove a formidable second act for the couple.
Offer for Araujo Estate 'came out of the blue'
Eisele Vineyard was in the hands of Bart and Daphne Araujo for 24 years, and it is clear that it wasn't easy to leave. 'The offer from Frederic Engerer and François Pinault came completely out of the blue,' they tell me.
'We had no intention to retire. But we realised that we never truly owned Eisele. We were stewards of the vineyard and always wanted to pass it on in better shape than we found it. And we strongly felt that we had found the right person to take it forward.'
The Araujos built Eisele into one of the most sought-after wines in the whole of Napa Valley. The site had been renowned for the quality of its fruit when they bought, selling Cabernet Sauvignon to, among others, Paul Draper of Ridge, but it was their decision to bottle everything themselves that revealed the full potential of the land. They introduced organic farming in 1998 and went fully biodynamic in 2000, certified by Demeter in 2002.
It's a farming philosophy that goes a long way to explaining why they felt Artemis was the right purchaser. Château Latour is one of the highest profile proponents of biodynamic farming in Bordeaux (although still in conversion to 100%) and Napa technical director Hélène Mingot continues to ensure that every detail, from wood chipping, composting, pruning and harvesting, adheres to the biodynamic calendar. If anyone can match the Araujos' obsessive, exhaustive finessing of details, it is the team behind Latour.
The new approach
Down the road, less than two years into the ownership of their new home, there are touches of what Bart and Daphne loved most about Eisele, from the chickens that greet you to the beehives and rows of sapling fruit trees planted to bring biodiversity and authenticity to the slightly less Secret Garden feel of the new property. This is a stunning contemporary ranch-style house, but you feel the hand of architect more than you do at Eisele, where the buildings (designed by the Araujos) melt into the landscape.
'We knew we needed to do things differently,' Bart says as we uncork the wines. 'We are very proud to have kept the same team, led by Françoise Peschon and Michel Rolland on the winemaking side, Steve Matthiasson as vineyard consultant, with Jeff Dawson for biodynamics.
'And we are also working with two young and brilliant winemakers, Julien Fayard and Dan Petroski, who made their own wines from our grapes in the 2015 vintage.'
'Instead of a single site wine, this time round we are purchasing fruit from our favourite vineyard sites, from friends who we already know are making great wine in Rutherford, Oak Knoll and Oakville. We are then blending that with two plots that we have purchased in St Helena and Oak Knoll. We want to recreate the blends that we used to love of Napa from the 1950s and 1960s – the old Inglenooks, the Mondavi Reserves.'
A new winery
Work has begun on a new winery next to their St Helena vineyard that will become the focus of the estate, leaving the ranch as their family home. They have already broken ground on the underground cellars and expect to be making the wine there by the 2016 harvest.
These guys know how to shape a wine. Tasting them straight after Eisele, there is a similar lightness of touch that comes from a belief in hands-off winemaking, of letting the fruit speak. The cabernet has elongated tannins that thread the fruit perfectly, with a touch of salinity to bring things to a mouthwatering finish. The sauvignon blanc has that vertical-build complexity that anyone who loves the Eisele Vineyard whites will recognise, although here with a touch more opulence.
Napa Re-wrought
This is Napa re-wrought, shaped from the ashes of earlier decades. 'Our primary influence has always been Bordeaux,' they say. 'We look for weight without heaviness, a wine that dances through the palate. It's not always easy to achieve in California because of the temptation to let fruit over-ripen and because of the rewards that come with that in terms of critic scores and industry recognition. But that has never been our motivation'.
After the tasting, I walk around the adjoining vineyard with Daphne, as Bart heads to San Francisco for a tasting. The shadows are lengthening over the Atlas Peak that stands on the far side of the Silverado Trail, and the vineyard is bathed in deepening gold.
None of these vines have so far been used for Accendo Cellars – in fact the entire vineyard is being taken out and replanted, 'because it was planted for quantity not quality, and that is not what we are about.
One thing that we have learnt over the past 25 years is how passionately we care about looking after our vines. It's impossible for us to resist investing emotionally in our wines'.
Updated 25/03/2016: To clarify that Julien Fayard and Dan Petroski made their own wine from Araujo family grapes, rather than produced wine for Accendo Cellars.
