JGD 16: Motor City
Kevin McCartney
November 04 2013 12:31PM
Time ruins all things.
The Winged Wheel will skate at the MTS Centre tonight. It's an exciting group to watch as one of only a few clubs to hold out against the most recent 'Turn to Grit' we've seen since the success of Boston and LA. While much of the league is hunting for Milan Lucic, trying to win some psychological war, and filling their depth with the young and cheap, Detroit continues to develop players slowly and instill a puck centric mentality.
It's a small, old group with outstanding puck support and possession. Even on a night in which the Jets are likely to lose, try to enjoy watching a system that refuses to give up the puck, and the aging stars that make it possible.
Jets Forwards
- Ladd - Little - Setoguchi
- Kane - Jokinen - Wheeler
- Frolik - Scheifele - Halischuk
- Tangradi - Wright - Peluso
Kane has missed practice since the Chicago game, and wasn't in the morning skate either. Word is that he's a game time decision again.
It's a painful place to be in for the team. They need him to win, but since his flu, he's not been himself. He might need to sit so he can rest and recover, but the Jets don't have the depth to cover for one of their top 4 forwards missing time.
Perhaps it's time to put together the Frolik/Scheifele/Wheeler line that should have been tried by now. Scheifele plays very well with both players, and it might be a functional second line.
The fourth line could be anything, but I've written my preference in the absence of clear information about it. It would fit with what we've seen of Noel for him to put in Thorburn against a team that doesn't fight, and then bench him after 3 shifts.
Jets Defense
- Clitsome - Byfuglien
- Enstrom - Bogosian
- Ellerby - Redmond
- Montoya
- Pavelec
The Jets recalled Zach Redmond (recently returned from injury), acquired Ellerby from Waivers, and send down Chiarot and Melchiori after the Blackhawks game. It was clear that Chiarot was out of his league, and he was supposedly the best the IceCaps had.
Lawless and Wyman are reporting that Ellerby and Redmond are a pair for tonight, but it feels like a Grant Clitsome situation to start the year to me. Redmond has only played one game (in the AHL) since Jets training camp.
That said, a Pardy/Ellerby pairing is exactly the sort of defensemen the Red Wings take apart with their speed and puck possession. Those two need battles to be effective, and to be the Red Wings requires moving the puck quickly when you get the chance. Perhaps Redmond is a necessity in this game.
Montoya gets the start. Pavelec was pulled against Chicago, and his season GAA has crept above three.
Claude Noel is showing his desperation a little. I'm sure Pavelec was the intended netminder for this game in the pre-season gameplan, and I get the feeling that the door is open for Montoya to play until he fails. We can all hope for a Brian Elliot miracle season.
Red Wings Forwards
- Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Bertuzzi
- Cleary - Weiss - Alfredsson
- Tatar - Andersson - Abdelkader
- Miller - Helm - Tootoo
That first line is a doozy, and we should see Noel match Ladd and Little against them like old times. Of course, those old times include a 7-1 loss to the Red Wings in 2011 when these clubs last met. But you know, pick different old times.
We're going to hear a lot about how strange it is that Alfredsson is in a Red Wings jersey tonight. It was strange to even type his name. But the Paul MacLean system is a transplant from Detroit, and Alfie's scoring has re-appeared this season. He's currently third on the team with 13 points in 15 games. You might have guessed he's behind only Zetterberg and Datsyuk. All three have outscored the Jets' top man, Bryan Little, and his 10 points.
Johan Franzen is out with a persistent illness. This is only Darren Helm's second game back. He's extremely quick, as well as having very good straight ahead speed, and will be a challenge for the Jets to contain.
Stephen Weiss has been a disappointment so far for the Red Wings, though. He's exactly what they wanted for the 2C position, letting Filpula walk and bringing in someone more comfortable with a two-way, hard competition role. But so far, he hasn't been able to take on that role. He's been given a zone-start push and is a minus corsi player. He also has 2 points in 15 games. Florida players never seem to have an impact as imagined - Olli Jokinen might be the prototype for that.
Red Wings Defense
- DeKeyser - Kronwall
- Quincey - Almqvist
- Kindl - Lashoff
- Howard
- Mrzak
Detroit has a couple injuries on the backend as well, namely Jonathan Ericsson and Brendan Smith, as well as backup goalie Jonas Gustavsson.
Their depth isn't as strong as we've come to expect from Detroit teams, and they tend not to match their defensive pairings too aggressively. Coach Mike Babock tends to use zone starts with this pairings, but not match them against opposition. That means everyone has to pull their weight.
Kyle Quincey is currently a team-worst -7, and a negative corsi player as well. Almqvist draws in for his first game. Of course, Danny DeKeyser is a high profile College Free Agent and rookie this season.
If there was ever a narrative about how the Jets could beat the Red Wings, it would be written about the Jets bulky forwards over-powering this group and creating turnovers. I wouldn't be surprised if Claude Noel is telling that narrative in the final moments before game time tonight.
Still, it should be remembered that the Detroit system is about puck support. Where the Jets have high expectations for their defensemen to make plays with the puck to start the transition offence and consequently a large gap between forwards and defense, the Red Wings move as a unit. If there is a turnover, the Jets won't have a lot of time to make hay with it.
In fact, the key to beating the Red Wings will be in the Jets transition game. If their offensive transition can convince a young Red Wings defense group to give up containment in the offensive zone, they might force gaps in the Red Wings' five man unit. In defensive transition, the Red Wings are almost impossible to isolate because they are willing to re-group behind them as well move the puck laterally and forward. But the Jets always have people coming late through the neutral zone because of their deep forecheck, so they could isolate the puck carrier from all sides. If they can do that, they might actually force the Red Wings to give up possession - a rare feat and critical requirement for beating the Red and White.
November 04 2013, 03:07PM
That second-last paragraph really speaks to something that has annoyed me about the Jets ever since their return.
It's sort of amusing to read certain alleged experts in the media crap on Winnipeg's D, and Buff in particular, for some of the turnovers without ever asking why an easier pass is so rarely available. The degree of difficulty is entirely too high for the current roster to pull off, and that's with several pretty good passers on D.
Part of the issue is systemic, as you note, and as a long time Olli Jokinen watcher it's clear that part of it is also players that never really know where to be on the ice. I hope people really watch Datsyuk tonight, not for the dangles, but for where he is in his own end without the puck. It's a damn rare thing that he'd ever leave his defence without an easy option to exit the zone.

12 Feb 2013, BioSpectrum Bureau , BioSpectrum
Singapore: Affymetrix and Korean genomics-based biotech company, DNA Link, signed a Powered by Affymetrix (PbA) Programme agreement. According to the agreement DNA Link obtained a worldwide license to develop and commercialize a forensic test for comprehensive human identification and other diagnostic tests using Affymetrix' microarray technology and the Korea FDA (KFDA)-cleared GeneChip System 3000Dx v2.
AccuID Chip is a novel SNP marker based array for personal identification, which can be applied to a variety of forensic samples, including degraded DNA samples. This array utilizes DNA Link's unique approach of combining Affymetrix' target resequencing array technology and multiplexing PCR technology to genotype hundreds of SNP markers in a single experiment to obtain high quality data and a wide variety of information all with high throughput and cost efficiency.
Dr Jong-Eun Lee, CEO of DNA Link, said, "The advantage of using SNP markers is that they possess lower mutation rate than STR markers, thus are more stable in terms of inheritance which could aid parentage testing, kinship analysis, ethnicity, or predicting phenotypic characteristics. This novel forensic test, AccuIDChip, can be used complementarily with existing STR tests and to build a more comprehensive forensic database. We are pleased to join the ranks of other PbA Programme partners, such as Roche Diagnostics and Pathwork Diagnostics in adopting the Affymetrix technology."
"We are very pleased to have DNA Link join our Powered by Affymetrix program in which we help partners to develop novel molecular diagnostic tests for personalized healthcare. DNA Link being our first partner in Korea will also provide our other PbA partners access to the Korean personalized genomics market," said Dr Dara Wright, vice president, clinical applications marketing, Affymetrix.

The Emery Town council met in their December meeting. The town is having a Christmas Lighting contest and a Christmas bazaar was held at the community center to celebrate the Christmas season.
In town business they approved the minutes from a public hearing which was held in November. Dave Mangum reported the CERT training was very successful and seven people from Emery completed the training. A mock exercise training was held on Dec. 5. Those who completed their training will receive their certificates in January.
The beautification committee discussed the welcome rocks.
The historical committee reported a history on each plat of land within the town is being worked upon. They also want to include the history of the Consol mine with the town history.
The town council passed a resolution for a standard for burial vaults. They need to be made from masonry so they are sturdy and can stand up to the passage of time.
The council approved an increase of $5 over the current cost of a dog license. A kennel license fee is $60.
The council addressed concerns about the monument on the history of the Emery tunnel. A road project is currently underway there and the council doesn't want to see the monument damaged. The monument needs to remain visible and have adequate parking so visitors can stop and look at the monument. The town will prepare a letter asking the project manager to protect the monument. The orange fenced areas surrounding the road project are the archaeological sites which have been identified in the area.
Mayor Mistie Christiansen said the recreation district is putting together a calendar of events and the dates of Emery Town events should be submitted. It was determined the 24th of July celebrations will span July 22-24, 2010. An Onion Day celebration will be added on Oct. 9. The town council meetings will be the second Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m.
Mayor Christiansen reported on the public lands council meeting. She said a representative of the Bureau of Indian affairs attended the December meeting. He said the Native Americans may not want each historical site identified. The county is going through the process of a land use bill for the county and the historical subcommittee is recording sites and access roads to these sites. The mayor said it is just something to keep in mind as the county goes through the process.
The fire station will have a pre-final inspection on Dec. 18. The roof for the building will be a dark red metal roof. Next summer when the asphalt work is completed it needs to be asphalted between the library and the new fire station.
On the planning and zoning Corrine Dalton said they are looking into a recreation vehicle parking ordinance.
Mayor Christiansen said she has received a letter of resignation from councilmember Gary Jensen. "We appreciate what he has done on the council," said the mayor.
Mayor Christiansen said Emery is currently involved with drinking water source improvements. Jones and DeMille Engineering has prepared a preliminary opinion of probable cost. Their estimate was $6,250,000. The mayor made a recommendation it be approved upon consent from the town's attorney after he has a chance to evaluate the agreement. The town has the opportunity to receive $900,000 from Rep. Jim Matheson's office for the planning work. This planning will look at horizontal wells and spring development and how to deal with the Mancos. It's possible the $900,000 could be taken and pooled into the first allocation and used for construction.
The mayor said she was nervous to go back to the CIB for additional funds. Some of the money would have to be loan. The mayor proposed a steering committee be formed for seeing the project along. She suggested Jacob Sharp from the Castle Valley Special Service District and a representative from Consol as they are a major water user for Emery and someone from the canal board. This project is for a culinary source of water. The mayor said she asked for some quotes from Nielson's and they said it could be closer to $7-8 million to pipe the entire length of the canal. It might be possible to save distance if some of the pipeline travels through the hill. Pipe alone will be approximately $4.3 million. The pipe will be fused. The canals will be left for use as storm drains. The pipeline may run along the current canal system leaving the canals in place. It isn't known yet what size of pipe will be needed. The Army Corps of Engineers needs a project description. The application is due Feb. 1, 2010 to the CIB. It should be decided by March, April or May and in the worst case June, if the town gets the money.
Currently 6 cfs is running in the canal. The mayor expressed concerns if the canal freezes over. Mangum said with the ponds and the water tank even if it does freeze over the town should have enough water to last until February.
One of the concerns the mayor has in approaching the CIB is that they will ask the town to increase their water rates. Brian Barton said rates can be adjusted so averages are charged at a higher rate which can help to keep water rates close to the current rate.
It was mentioned that when the charges for the water bills are considered and factored into the state rates the taxes residents pay to the Castle Valley Special Service District should be considered and taken into consideration.
The mayor believes the water project is something the town needs and even though it is causing and will cause stress it needs to be done.
The pipe line will be gravity flow for eight miles. It was recommended the pipeline be large enough to accommodate both secondary and culinary water.
Mangum said the upper half of town always complains they have no water pressure, so this project should help alleviate that problem, too.
There are still a lot of questions, but the town can't pass up the $5 million being granted to help the project along.
Mayor Christiansen said in the COG meeting, the boys and girls club presented their ideas for the club. The club is located in Huntington and operated by VISTA volunteers. It is a possibility they can send people to the outlying communities to conduct activities.

Anderson Lake Conservation Area
State fish and wildlife area with Class C camping facilities.
Scripps Park Golf Course was originally built as a 9-hole course in 1923. The original 9 has many rolling fairways with bunkered greens and challenging water hazards. In 2002 the course expanded to 18 holes with the back 9 having the open feeling of a "links style" course. The wide fairways and creative hazards complement the demanding greens. All 18 holes are irrigated and provide consistent play from early spring to late fall. The course is long enough to be enjoyably challenging but easily accessible to walkers as well as cart players.

"This genre-bending third novel in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series...is a perfect fit for those who like fast-paced urban fantasy rich in both fury and poignancy." (Booklist)
Audible OBSESSED!
"My Favorite!"
Hands down, this is one of the most addicting series I've listened to. I'm on a BDB roll these days and I can't get enough. It's like a movie that I don't ever want to end, the books seamlessly transition to the next one, and so far, each one has been enthralling, erotic, funny and for me, emotional. I was so ready to be consumed by book 3 when Bella and Zsadist met in book 2-----I knew his story was going to be a good one, and it totally surpassed my expectations. Loved, Loved, Looooooved this story! Can't wait to hear what happens next!
I love this series but am very disappointed that they do not put them out in order! please, hurry with book 4! There are several series books that I have looked at here in Audible but will not purchase them because the whole series is not available. They go from book 1 then my skip to book 6 or 7. Very annoying!
This is the best book of the series, and it is great that it is finally available on audio.
"Wonderful story of overcoming trajedy!!"
I love this book...and hearing it on audio was a special treat! J. R. Ward has a way for drawing you in to the lives of her characters...and this story of Zsadist is my favorite of hers. It is a compelling emotional story of victory over enormous abuse. Everyone loves to see the victim rise above the ashes to soar in life. Zadist is that victor!! I loved it!!
"Into the series now!"
Lover Awakened is the 3rd Black Dagger Brotherhood books and so far I have to say is my favorite. I couldn't put this one away, walked around with my headphones in my ears for much of my days while I listened. This book started out at a rapid pace and stayed that way. This is mostly about Zsadist and Bella. If you haven't read the first two books I recommend it because I think its a good idea to have an idea of who Zsadist is and where he fits in the brotherhood before starting this book. Have already downloaded Book 4. Really am enjoying this series but its a very unusual take on the whole vampire thing. Be warned these books are highly sexual/erotic reads but I thought of the three so far this one had the most substance in it.
"Lover Awakened"
I loved this book. The reader did a pretty good job. He was a little flat as a reader, but once I got used to his tone, it worked pretty well. Z has always been my favorite and his book is outstanding. He had so far to come for redemption, it was really well done.
"Lover Awakened"
GREAT book, Can't wait for the entire series to be available here. Why not have the whole series, they are great! HIGHLY RECOMMENED!!!
"My Favorite"
I love this book my favorite in the series. I am so happy it is now available.
"My favorite in series"
I loved this book. I would recommend to anyone that enjoys paranormal romance.
I've read this book (the series) and I was skeptical with the narrator voice initialy, but just past the beginning Frangione's voice becomes very easy to listen to. Lover Awakened is a moving story of past, present and future love that will warm any heart.

"This is the first Dr Scholls shoes I purchased. I bought these for my dad along with 3 other pairs of shoes. This is not the most comfortable shoes out of the 4. The sole is kinda stiff. The color Taupe looks better in picture. A little disappointed but at least it fits. Since I've already mailed them to my dad, cant really return them."

Dividers & CompassesCompasses
One characteristic of the compasses in the collection is the variety of ornamentation molded into their metal parts. More often than the instruments on the other pages, compasses were manufactured in the United States, and Americans received patents for adding innovations to the instrument. Several of the objects below were used in schools, and some were even designed to prevent schoolchildren from poking themselves and each other. This page also contains spare parts for compasses.
"Dividers & Compasses - Compasses" showing 1 items.
Frederick Post Model 1795 Blackboard Compass
- Description
- In the years following the Civil War, American mathematics teachers began to use oversized compasses like this one to draw circles on a chalkboard. This example was sold by the Frederick Post Company of Chicago. It consists of two maple arms, each about sixteen inches (41 centimeters) long, which are held together by a wing nut at one end. At the other end are a rubber tip and a piece of chalk.
- Makers often sold such instruments as part of a set that also included a straight edge, a protractor, a T square, and a triangle. After passage of the National Defense Education Act in 1958, such instruments could be purchased by secondary schools with subsidies from the federal government. This particular object was used in mathematics teaching at Montgomery College in Takoma Park, Maryland.
- Blackboard dividers that are different from this instrument are advertised as model number 1781 in the Frederick Post Company's 1930 and 1936 catalogs. The instrument is not shown in the 1949–1950 catalog.

"Playing for the national team is a beautiful experience," said Isco as he looks forward to donning the red shirt of Spain again in defence of his country's UEFA European Under-21 Championship title in Israel in June.
With the midfielder having caught the eye in debutants Málaga CF's run to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, there should be plenty of additional interest in the skilful 21-year-old when Spain kick off their Israeli campaign on 6 June. Isco, who has already made his senior international bow, hopes to emulate the likes of Juan Mata and Javi Martínez in lifting the U21 trophy.
"I think we have a good opportunity to win," said former Valencia CF trainee Isco. "We are a team that passes the ball around very well, we score a lot of goals, there is a great team spirit. The fact is, we won all our qualifying matches except one, which we drew. So our statistics are very good."
However, with Russia, Germany and the Netherlands to negotiate in Group B, Julen Lopetegui's side do not have the smoothest possible path to the semi-finals. "They are pretty strong teams so it will be difficult for us," Isco observed. "But we trust a lot in ourselves and in what we've been doing. We hope to make it past the group stage."

Skip to comments.OMG/JK: A Kiss For iPad 2, A Slap For Xoom with Video discussion and Review
Posted on 03/06/2011 7:37:50 PM PST by Swordmaker
Its war!
This week, I went to the unveiling of the iPad 2 and got some hands-on time with the device afterwards. Meanwhile, Jason bought a Xoom and has been extensively testing it out. The consensus? iPad 2: Good. Xoom: Bad. At least for now. I havent extensively played with iPad 2 yet, and Google is undoubtedly going to patch the Xoom. But still, first impressions are key.
Jason and I discuss these two products in depth in this weeks episode of OMG/JK, and we also dive into the upcoming group messaging war that is likely to break out at SXSW next week. Now that Facebook has bought Beluga and really kicked everything into a frenzy, the ultimate winners are far from clear.
Watch the episode above and check out some of the links below for more details on what we talk about.
(Excerpt) Read more at macdailynews.com ...
Does Apple Pay FR to run Ads, similarly i wonder if they pay Fox News to advertise their current product roll-outs?
I havent extensively played with iPad 2 yet...
So he's reporting on the relative merits of products he admits he hasn't even "played with" yet, let alone fully evaluated? Worthless.
All I hear about Xoom (or any competing tablet) is specs - not user experience.
Co-worker keeps buying tablets, showing them to me, and the first words out of his mouth each time is an apology for its poor performance.
Yes there's a strong Apple fan club on FR. It's that cool. It just works - even with lesser specs.
Please note that I am being personally attacked and questioned about why I post by Trolls on every article I post for the list. It seems to be deliberate, organized, and designed to make me stop keeping the list members informed about things they have asked me to do. This has been going on now for about two weeks, and the explanation is ignored each and every time.
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
The TechCrunch guy bought a Xoom at Costco and used it for a week, and is an Android fan. Watch the video review. He is NOT happy with it.
You seemed to have missed the qualifier: "extensively".
I suspect that a rollout hands on for the hundreds of press in attendance, would necessitate a limited amount of time with the available products. Still, if those there were already familiar with version one, of not only the iPad, but other serious contenders products; the time allotted should have been enough to give a fairly good (or bad), first impression.
Having a 1st gen iPad myself, I can envision the second version just from the specs alone. Double the speed, 9x graphics speed and all the other announced specs and capabilities sound good to me.
>>>Does Apple Pay FR to run Ads, similarly i wonder if they pay Fox News to advertise their current product roll-outs?
Who pays you to comment on these threads?
Today's BestBuy Ad lists the Moto Zoom at $799.99. What's interesting -you are REQUIRED to activate a Verizon data plan and pay for at least one month of service to be able to use YOUR OWN WiFi connection! You can cancel after the first month...but I don't get the requirement to activate a Verizon data plan to use WiFi in your own home.. Is Verizon subsidizing these things? If so, then $799.99 is WAY over priced.
Full disclosure here - I'm an admitted Linux user, and Android-based phone owner. I'm not prejudiced against Apple (I don't think?) I have an iPod touch I use regularly at the gym.
Media folks' reporting on all things Apple is like media folks' reporting on all things Democrat. Objectivity is not part of the process.
Check the born on date. ;-)
You perform a vital service for many of us on FR. Keep on posting. We know the Trolls are just trying to attack you because you have more honesty than than do.
Watch the full program here: http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/05/ipad-2-xoom-fight/
Jason Kincaid is a big Android fan. He bought a Xoom for $800 and was required to activate a carrier in addition for another charge. There are all of 16 apps for the Xoom. He said, "I think it stinks."
Read the OP again. One reviewer spent a bit of time with the iPad, the other a more substantial amount with the Xoom. Both reviewers are in the video.
Nobody forced you to inhale, Noob. :)
BobSimons Since 2011-02-27
If you don't like Apple products, don't buy 'em, and stay off the threads about things you don't like. It'll simplify your life, and make everyone else's more pleasant.
Illegitimus Non Carborundum.
We on the ping list appreciate your posts, and as long as you're willing to put up with the excrement flung by the trolls and Apple-haters, we'll keep encouraging you to do so.
It does seem to be an organized attack. You know the saying: You know you're over the target when you're taking the most flak.
Apple has been kicking everybody's butt for a long time, and seems poised to keep doing so. It's not surprising that here on FR, you as the Apple/Mac Ping List keeper are going to draw the fire of the people who are scared of Apple's success.
Thank you for your continued efforts.
Don't let the bastards wear you down.
I got to agree with you here on FR, there has been few if any user experiences posted about Android devices.
So I'll post mine:
I pre-ordered a NotionInk Adam about 3 hours after they started pre-orders to their forum members.
I have now received three delays in ship dates.
I cancelled my order yesterday because I'm looking at the new tablets coming out in early April and will wait for the price war to heat up...
Here's the most comprehensive online English-language forum for real hands on reviews of ALL android tablets:
and another for the Xoom:
I enjoyed the comments in the source article.
One, and echo of some article you posted previously, suggested that in its iOS competitor Google is emulating Microsoft.
The other points out the serious musical instrument capability of iPad2 w/ Garage Band. That struck me as possibly being a killer app for the iPad. I have been known to sing a little, but am not otherwise a musician. But I think that there are plenty of people who would know what to do with that if they had it.
In the dark ages there was an app for, I think an Apple II, which tried to match a musical score to a vocal input, thereby providing adaptive accompaniment. At this late date, with an app in existence which identifies popular music it "hears" (and offers to sell you a copy of it), that sort of thing could be a real hit as an adjunct to Garage Band.
I'm a Linux user too. There's a lot to be said for the OSS system, and there's also a lot of pitfalls.
A lot of people complain about the walled garden approach Apple has in regards to the App Store. Personally, I like it. It gives me some piece of mind to know that apps have been tested and vetted before they hit my system. My iPhone is first and foremost, a phone. A critical device. One device who's functionality I would not like to see compromised by malware.
It would really suck to have to start running anti-virus/malware software on your phone or tablet. Don't you think?
Personally, I think were far too lenient on virus/malware creators.
I'm thinking summary execution is more in order.
But that's just me.
That's a nasty accusation for someone that has been registered here for an entire week.
I'm more of the "cruel and unusual punishment" mindset -- put them on help desk for clueless users. They're released based on the number of people they actually manage to help.
Naw... Cruel and unusual would be something along the lines of: tying them down on top of a red ant hill in the midday FLA sun.
True. When Apple slips up it's a big thing, when the others do, not so much. Foxconn suicides, presented as an Apple problem although Foxconn manufactures for HP, Dell and others too. All phones have antenna attenuation when gripped a certain way, Apple's hits front page. Other manufacturers' phones are literally falling apart, doesn't hit the news.
Yes, each of us Fanbois get $100 for every favorable comment.
I'll see if I can get my wife to write something up. She likes hers. I'd like to see more side-by-side comparisons of the functions of the tablets that people actually use as opposed to what they think is cool, or think they'll use.
From what I've seen so far, the Android tablets serve a specific niche of the market. Wife uses hers primarily as a book reader with some light web/email usage. I think the smaller form factor makes them a better choice for me (I use a Nook Color), as i want something that is much more the size of a paperback, than a full-sized tablet.
I don't have anything against the iPad specifically, and would probably enjoy using one if I had it, but it's not something I need at the moment. I'm just glad that there is plenty of choice out there. Having Apple and Android competing head-to-head in the marketplace is great for those of us who just dig the tech. I'm sure that like everything else, some with prefer one, and some will prefer the other.
I do too. That's why I switched to Mac a few years ago. I would have bought an iPhone, by far the best value in itself, but it wasn't the best value for me when coupled with AT&T.
Far too simplistic.
I have followed both (as well as the upstart "Notion Ink" lately because I am considering getting one.
Here is my take: In specs and operating system - Xoom is better - for now.
In apps - Ipad is far superior - for now.
For roll out - Ipad wins handily.
The Xoom roll-out is almost going to guarantee it will not be a serious competitor. As another poster comment who want to buy a Verizon plan just to get free WiFi. Also, the added features are not enough even though they are comparable to the most expensive Ipad don't justify the purchase. Essentially, Motorola wrote off everyone that wants a more basic tablet (which is a big share of the Ipad market. If they wanted to be a serious competitor they needed a second model priced lower than $499.00.
Even though I am not 100% happy with the Ipad, I am going to make it my choice primarily because of the Apps.
Here is Ars Technica's Review of the Xoom...
I can't post the article on FR, because it's Conde Nast and prohibited. But they have a lot of negatives to say!
The SD card doesn't work due to OS limitations, the OS has stability issues, poor browser rendering, weak email client, 4G is missing, no Flash. The product screams "rushed to market." The lack of 4G is especially telling. It will be available for install in a couple of months. That means they knew the iPad 2 was coming out and had to get this on the market before that, even if the product wasn't finished yet.
I do see some serious potential though.
Yes, I compared that to the Ipad 2 which has no SD card, a slower OS, and no 4G. That is why I added the words for now.
I am really hoping for some real competition to the Ipad, just to bring prices down, but I think by the time Xoom and others fully enable their features, Ipad3 will be out with a superior OS and maybe an SD slot.
Another reason I am going with the Ipad2 is it has a full year of public testing without any real complaints. In other words, I have confidence it will perform as expected without any glitches.
As for rushed to market - it does look like they went out of their way to have the Xoom on the street before the Ipad2 was released.
For now it's inferior, especially to people who considered 4G, SD card and Flash as desirable features. For them, it will likely be superior in the future. What do you mean about slower OS?
People can argue about the OS forever, but from my reading, the Honeycomb 3.0 OS is probably superior.
Personally, I don't even expect to get a tablet for a few years. I have a desktop, I have a laptop, and I have an Android phone. Between those three, my needs are more than covered.
I think it's going to have some quite desirable features when it's ready for prime-time, probably late this year. But as far as speed, I doubt it will ever equal iOS, which runs native and gets to be highly optimized for its limited hardware base (especially GPU leveraging for common tasks).
"I also found the Xoom screen almost grainy, the pixel grid is too apparent to the naked eye. You don't really notice it so much on a photo, or something with a lot of tonal changes, but on say a white background like Google or an eBook you see faint pixel grid lines. We decided to not include this photo in the Xoom review, but I took this closeup shot of both screens with a 100mm Canon macros lens, same image on both, same distance from camera (tripod), same area of the image focused on. To my eye that Xoom pixel grid explains why I see it from a normal distance too, it's just a much larger gap:
I could talk about a lot of other things I didn't care for, but for me personally and my tablet uses (YMMV) the screen was already a non-starter.
Definitely. That's one of the reasons I run Linux - is so I don't have to give up disk space and cycles to AV software, wait for email up/down-loads, etc.
Personally, I think were far too lenient on virus/malware creators.
Im thinking summary execution is more in order.
Or imprisoned for life with nothing but an old VAX 11/780, one dumb terminal, and a buggy FORTRAN compiler. ;-)
Saw that Toshiba has a tablet coming out. Curious about that one as I have nothing but nice things to say about my Toshiba laptops.
I am neither an Apple fan nor hater but I enjoy your posts. It's just information to me but I appreciate them.

Exciting news! We will be having our first workday on the new Pogonip Multi-Use Trail on Saturday, May 12th at 9am. We will be meeting at the bottom of U-Con and will work for 3-4 hours. You can park at UCSC and ride/hike down U-Con or park on Hwy 9 and take Rincon Road or the Rincon Connector trails. Let me know if you need better directions.
We will be using hand tools to begin clearing out the trail corridor, vegetation, and duff to prepare for the trail machine to come through and cut the bench. Poison oak will be present, but there will be some areas with minimal poison oak and some other work that will let you avoid it all together (rock collecting). Please bring long pants, sturdy footwear, and gloves and be prepared to take the necessary precautions for poison oak (change of clothes, etc., we should have technu and some stuff to wash up with).
We will be starting at 9am sharp so please be on time and take into account the time it takes to get to the bottom of U-con. Please sign up at www.trailworkers.com to assist with planning (the earlier the better). Also, please fill out this volunteer survey. If you can bring loppers, small pruning saws, rakes or McLeods let me know at email@example.com. I am also looking for a few people to be crew leaders or help with setup and planning, email email@example.com if interested and we can talk more.
We will post more workdays soon. The details not not been worked out yet but we will likely have two evening workdays during the week (probably Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, 5:30-7:30 or so), and if you are available during the day on weekdays there will usually be opportunities for work. When the machine is running in a couple of weeks it would be great to have at least 5 people out working with it. Please contact me if you would like to work during the day on weekdays.
Look forward to seeing you next Saturday!

Your Home Floral Style
Every home has a style, it's very own personality that needs to be showcased! Indulge your home's persona by tailoring the flower arrangements to suit. Below are five home styles and the perfect arrangements for each.
Americana Country
(Image from Society of American Florists)
This style has become a phenomenon in it's own right. Motifs include artifacts from the past - such as quilts, galvanized metal bowls and wooden crates. The result is comfort that is easy and inviting. Woven baskets or simple vases of mixed spring flowers (yarrow, wild roses, scabiosa, heather) fit perfectly on a coffee table or kitchen counter. Cut flowers, blooming plants, herbs, wreaths and swags with that farm-fresh look are a natural extension of this homespun décor with their fresh-picked-from-the-garden appeal.
Casual Chic
(Image from Society of American Florists)
Casual living lifestyles focus on the simple pleasures of life. The decor includes furniture of light pine, natural woods, bleached oak or a white-washed painted finish with fabrics of linen and cotton in neutral tones. Because these homes are designed for "stress busting," flowers provide nature's balancing formula. The right match might include flowering and green plants (like cyclamen, kalanchoe, pothos or ivy) casually grouped, or flowers (such as sunflowers, daisies, hydrangea, delphinium or tulips) placed in a clear glass vase, pitcher or piece of pottery.

This home has formal architecture with impressive front doors, foyers and individually decorated rooms. Design elements include classic furnishings and antiques with elegant fabrics of brocade, silk and tapestry. Traditional arrangements call for a mixture of flowers (roses, gladiola, iris, carnations, lilies or snapdragons, to name a few) and accents such as dried fruit and foliage. Crystal, brass, silver or porcelain containers are ideal for the classic floral centerpiece.

Sleek and trendy, the modern home calls for clean lines, smooth surfaces and form. Elegant fabrics, colorful silks, gauze or leather accent steel, glass and other man-made materials. Bold, exotic flowers (anthuriums, heliconia, callas, orchids) with strong lines work well to complement this home's clean, open spaces. To complete the dramatic look, flowers are best displayed in glass vases, decorative pottery and metallic containers with pewter or stainless steel finishes.

Velvets, satins, chintz, lace and organza create a feeling of softness and romance in the Victorian home. Pastel colors or soft tone-on-tone prints are used to delight the senses. Fragrant flowers (roses, spray roses, peonies, lavender, gardenias, freesia) in pale peach, lavender, pink, yellow and cream conjure images of romance and sensuality. All of these delicious colors glow in lovely, romantic vases of clear glass, crystal and silver.

Cornersville-Blythe News, August 8, 2012
A very cheery greeting to all my friends, neighbors, and readers. We're thankful we've been getting enough rain in our neighborhood to help with the plants, as well as for the cooling, however brief, that follows.
Visitors in our home this week were Mike and Phillip Lemons from Potts Camp, and my son, Norm Hardy from Southaven, who came, on his motorcycle as Tina and Mckenzie had other plans. We enjoyed their visits.
Death has touched the lives of a couple of families in the Blythe Community, as this week Sarah Byers and Buddy Scott lost their sister, Carolyn Scott Vick, who lived in Oak Harbor, Wash. Our condolences to the families.
Lynn Cook and Barb Trevilli Bowen have been enjoying a visit from their mother, Barbara Trevell, from Colorado.
Carolyn Scott entertained a large group of friends and relatives for dinner last week in honor of her nephew, Johnathon Mansel, and his wife, Amanda, and their children. He is on leave from the Air Force and is preparing to go to Spain for a five-year stay there. Those attending were his sister, Brittney Mansel; John Scott and his wife, Katherine, and their children, Cara, Rhodes, and Anna; Sarah Bond and her grandchildren from Memphis; Josh and Sally Inmon; Dwight Scott; and sister, Loy Scott.
Carolyn's grandson, Rhodes Scott, from Oxford, recently ran in a 5K race for children and he won. Congratulations to you, Rhodes.
Roger Crane and his son, Brandon, have returned safely from another spelunking trip. They explored a cave, the Talucal, near Huntsville, Ala.
Brandon tells me this was absolutely the muddiest, most slippery cave they've been in thus far. Most of the cave required them to stoop, walk, and crawl in mud near a stream passage.
He tells me he may have possibly discovered a new cave as he explored an area not on the current map.
Two hours after exiting the cave a sudden downpour dropped two inches of rain within 30 minutes.
The Highway U.S. 72 had from two to six inches of rain in some areas. Had Roger and Brandon still been in the cave, this would have resulted in them being stranded or possibly drowned. Brandon states how wonderful are the ways of our Lord.
Leslie Lewis has been a busy young lady this summer – putting up and canning jellies, jams and all kinds of goodies. She has also celebrated the birthdays of family members: her mother in-law on July 20 and her daughter, Jacee, who was nine on Aug 2. Leslie's mom, Barbara, came up for the birthday celebration and spent the weekend with them.
Get well wishes to Betty Smith, who is recovering from surgery.
Our friends and neighbors David and Betty Greer and son, David Jr., enjoyed a Hollingsworth family reunion at the Becker Community center near Amory.
David Jr's wife, Amy, and children, Dave, Mary, and Hannah, were unable to accompany them as they had previously committed to attend a sports camp.
Betty taught school at West Union for many years, but after retirement has been working in the family business, Greer and Greer Equiptment, in New Albany.
One of Betty's brothers is a Methodist pastor who lives in Tupelo and the other one is the president of Piedmont College in Georgia.
I leave you with this thought from Italian Giovianni Gravina: "A Bore is one who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company."

Too, TOO cute!
"I was so excited to get these shoes, but then I had to wait for some warmer weather to wear them...eventually I did and I wear them whenever the weather will allow. These shoes are too cute and VERY comfortable to wear. They are my second pair of oxford shoes and I swear, every time I wear either of them I get compliments! If I had to point out a couple of cons on the shoes, I would say that they are a bit wide so if you have wide feet, you're golden! Also, they are very slick to wear, am trying to scuff up the bottoms so I'm not sliding all over. I think once they are scuffed they will be fine. Other than that, they are quick go-to shoes for me that I wear with skinny jeans!"

Cute, comfortable, unsafe
"I agree with the reviewer who commented on the slipperiness of the sole. The heel has good traction, but the sole is extremely slippery. I can't afford to take that chance. Otherwise, I would have kept these shoes. I think the shape and colors are flattering, would complement many outfits, and make a statement. The shoes are also extremely comfortable."

Seized horses need new home
ABILENE, Texas - Malnourished horses are becoming an all too familiar sight for Rescue the Animals/SPCA and Abilene Animal Services. Rescue received more than 30 horses from Winters Monday--they are being held at Abilene Animal Services.
"It's heartbreaking--yesterday we came out here and we looked at them--it's so sad it just brings tears to your eyes," Kerry Clark, a horse owner who is looking to adopt one of the horses said. "Our horses are just in beautiful shape and the comparison is just unbelievable."
The Runnels County Sheriff's Office seized the horses from Sandra Bannister of Winters who was arrested in early September. They found one horse dead and another had to be euthanized.
Bannister is charged with two counts of animal cruelty. A judge ruled Saturday she would lose ownership of the horses.
Six of the 33 horses at Abilene Animal Services were adopted after they arrived Monday.
While it only costs $100 to adopt one of the horses, Paul Washburn, President of Rescue the Animals/SPCA, warned it is a big commitment.
"This is not a starter kit--if you haven't had a horse before this may not be the place to start because these horses have been through a lot," Washburn said. "They could have some ongoing medical problems because of their starvation problem."
Washburn said he has seen much worse. For example, the 19 horses that were seized from Ranger over the summer.
"The horses are in a little better condition than we thought they'd be. They're still only scoring one's and two's out of a score of 10--but as you can see, some of them are downright lovable and I think people will find that if they're patient with them, they'll get them back up to weight and they're going to have some fantastic horses," he said.
Washburn said donations of hay bales or bags of food can be dropped off at Abilene Animal Services at 925 South 25th Street. Adoption applications can also be filled out there.

Great Ten Ideas (Plus one more.)
This Ten Things list is AWESOME and right on. But I can't resist adding one more item.
That would be, "Let the wind mess up your hair when you ride your bike. WITHOUT a helmet." While I am a proponent of car seats for youngsters and seat belts for the older kiddos, I'm not one of those head protection Nazi's. Like the blogger, I managed to survive my late-70's summers without helicopter parents, minute-by-minute planned activities and organic strawberries.
We also didn't wear bike helmets as we whizzed around on our two-wheelers. My best friend recalls a biking incident (um, accident?) where she literally flipped over her handlebars as she tried to recreate an Evil Knievel stunt. No helmet (I know) and no sustained brain damage (I think.)
So here's to a summer of the 70's for our kiddo's. Talk about the memories they will make! And yes, they will live to tell them to their own children.

Wheat Ridge 2020 and Live Local Wheat Ridge took the trick out of trick or treating this year, but about 300 children in the city didn't mind.
The second annual Trunk or Treat event in Wheat Ridge was held Saturday at the Wheat Ridge 5-8 school parking lot, 7101 W. 38th Ave. According to Britta Fisher, executive director of Wheat Ridge 2020 the event went smoothly giving participants a spooky time in a safe environment.
Trunk or Treat events are held across Colorado and other states as a way to provide children a secure place to get candy without having to go door-to-door in a neighborhood. Instead community members volunteer to deliver candy out of the trunks of their cars in an agreed upon location.
"The whole idea was to create a safe place for kids to trick or treat," Fisher said.
In Wheat Ridge about 25 business owners and community members volunteered the services of their trunks of their cars for the event. The trunks were decorated in true Halloween fashion, and a contest was held to determine the winner of the best decorated car.
According to Fisher the first place winner was the skeleton Jeep. Second place was car dressed up as a hearse, and third was a car that had interactive games for trick or treaters to play while stopping in for candy.
There was no costume contest for the children though.
"I don't know how I could have judged between all those cute costumes," Fisher said.
The owners of Right Coast Pizza brought their food truck to the event and served hot chocolate to trick or treaters in addition to candy.
According to Fisher, the business involvement made the event even better.
"We hope to look at expanding the event and getting some more business participation in the future," she said.

Skip to comments.Durbin: Menendez should keep gavel despite ethics scandal
Posted on 02/10/2013 5:18:54 PM PST by Libloather
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin said on Sunday embattled Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) should keep his chairmanship of the Foreign Relations Committee despite an investigation into his dealings with a top donor.
"Sen. Menendez has given us an assurance that there is no substance to these charges," the Democratic senator from Illinois said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "It's being looked at by the Ethics Committee. Of course, I can't comment beyond that."
The Senate Ethics Committee is looking into Menendez's interaction with Salomon Melgen, a Florida eye surgeon who has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Menendez and other Democrats.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
"It's okay when we do it" Alert
A GOPer who flirts with an adult paige would be hounded out of office.
they'd demand a gop chair step down during investigation just because of the seriousness of the charges.
Don't worry...the Ethics Committee is on the case.
Ethics in Washington is a slippery fish to be sure.
And the average democrat voter sees nothing wrong with the double standard either.
There is no middle ground to meet on with these people.
Says Dick Durbin, "Ethics aren't problems, if you are a Democrat. If you need evidence of this, see that last election."
Why shouldn't he keep his gavel? Its not like the Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee had any integrity before the allegations or any serious person respected its work. As long as the Democrats control the Senate its just another act in the Obama clown parade.
The Gerry Studds phenomenon; he got a standing ovation for sex with and then marrying a minor..
Why would a Florida eye doctor seek a contract to provide security at a port in the Dominican Republic? The country is a transshipment point for narcotics moving from South America to the U.S. The Dominican Republic also sees its share of arms and human trafficking.
"Sen. Menendez has given us an assurance that there is no substance to these charges,"
Well, that's good enough for me...
If Durbin is in favor of a particular idea, you can count on the adjective "harebrained" being somewhat shy of applicable.
Well, that is good enough for me. I know we can always trust a Rat senator to tell the truth, right? I mean the Rats are always honorable, and can be trusted with your teen age daughter, right? SARCASM OFF
On a side note, "Thunderball" in on REELZ. That RAF Vulcan was a cool bomber..
>>"Sen. Menendez has given us an assurance that there is no substance to these charges," the Democratic senator from Illinois said on NBC's "Meet the Press." <<
Oh, well that changes EVERYTHING! Call off the investigation! He gave his ASSURANCE! I mean, that level of certainty is UNPRECEDENTED! No WAY he would say that unless it was TRUE and the allegations FALSE!
Nobody else comes even close, so of course Menendez should get a pass.
Durbin shows us what a despicable bunch we have governing us!
I'm so relieved now.
The ethics committee Bwahahahahahahaha.
Are you shyttin me?
Not one POS on the Hill has any ethics.
What we should NOT be upset about is not the dems acting normally. What we SHOULD be upset about is their counterparts accepting their behavior in silence.
But people seem content to let the GOP sit silently on the matter, so they must logically approve.
Typical 'Rats.
Theyr're just, well, rats.
Gee... I think I finally understand this new HEALTH CARE thing. That 'eye surgeon' must really be raking in the big bucks if he can afford to 'donate' HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars (yearly?).
"Sen. Menendez has given us an assurance that there is no substance to these charges,"And the photos, those are all 'shopped.
Menendez and Durbin were up all night writing the statement.
And when they finished, Durbin said, "Now what's in it for me?"
Menendez replied, "If I keep the chairmanship, you get a piece of the Dominican port security action, a cut of all contraband transported to the US, a hacienda in the DR, and as many little girls as you can diddle."
Contrary to his website and resume, big-name institutions including Harvard, Yale and the Univ of Missouri have claimed they have no record of professional or educational history with Florida ophthalmologist Salomon Melgen, MD, who is under two separate federal investigations for Medicare fraud and a political scandal involving a Democratic senator, according to a report by the Washington Free Beacon.
Dr. Melgen's biography (pdf link at web site) on his website claims he graduated from Harvard, was chief resident of ophthalmology at the Univ of Missouri, and held a Yale internship, but all three denied any record to support his credentials, according to the report.
Dr. Melgen, an active fundraiser for the Democratic Party, is under fire after it was discovered that he and US Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), improperly reported frequent trips to the Dominican Republic, and allegedly hired underage Dominican prostitutes for sex parties. © Copyright ASC COMMUNICATIONS 2012.
Miama Herald, Jay Weaver, Marc Caputo and Amy Sherman / email@example.com
A South Florida eye surgeon whos a friend of a U.S. senator is under federal criminal investigation for billing Medicare millions of dollars to treat elderly patients for services they may not have needed, The Miami Herald has learned. Federal agents began investigating Dr. Salomon Melgen last year, sources say, after investigators suspected he overbilled the taxpayer-funded health program by overprescribing a high-priced drug called Lucentis, which is injected into patients eyes.
Several sources familiar with the doctors practice said he used the drug, which costs $2,000 a vial, to treat patients with macular degeneration more than any other ophthalmologist in Florida and possibly the country. His high patient volume also raised red flags for investigators, the sources said.
Under Medicare policies, a doctor may only prescribe treatment that is reasonable and necessary. To make a case, federal prosecutors would have to prove that Melgen needlessly treated patients simply to run up sky-high Medicare bills.
Melgen, whose lawyers have denied any wrongdoing, finds himself in the middle of two federal investigations: His Vitreo- Retinal eye clinics in West Palm Beach and two other South Florida sites were raided last week by agents with the FBI and the Department of Health and Human Services, who are investigating possible Medicare fraud.
A separate FBI investigation revolves around the doctors relationship with U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., and the trips they took on his private plane to Melgens villa at a resort in the Dominican Republic.
Sen. Durbin can run in 2014, and I know a conservative Republican, Chad Koppie, who is running, in that race. If you know anyone, who lives in Illinois, please tell them that Chad, a member of the Kane Co. Regional Board of Schools, is pro-tax cuts, pro-spending cuts, pro-life, pro-gun rights, and anti-illegal alien. Chad needs to find more people, who will donate and/or volunteer for his campaign. His blog is chadkoppiescampaign.blogspot.com.
