Henrico voters face long lines at precincts
But registrar doesn't expect higher turnout than 2008
UPDATED: 2:30 P.M. – Voting in Henrico County – viewed as one of several key swing counties in the nation in today's presidential election – was brisk this morning and early afternoon, with longer than normal lines reported countywide and many voters waiting an hour or more to cast their ballots.
But despite the crowds, Henrico Registrar Mark Coakley told the Citizen that he doesn't expect voter turnout today to exceed the county's 79.8 percent turnout rate in the 2008 presidential election.
That year, morning rain kept turnout slightly lower early in the day. Today, voters had only cold temperatures to deal with as they went to the polls. The morning rush should reduce the length of lines at Henrico's 92 precincts this evening, Coakley said.
President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney identified Henrico early in this campaign as the key swing county in Virginia, the potential key state in the election. Obama won the county by nearly 19,000 votes four years ago, turning a historically red county blue. His victory here that year was due in large part to his 23,000-vote advantage over Republican John McCain in the Fairfield and Varina districts.
For Romney to paint Henrico red today, he'll likely need to cut into Obama's margins in those two districts and attract more voters in the traditionally Republican Three Chopt and Tuckahoe districts, where McCain won by slightly less than 9,000 votes in 2008.
If Romney's margins in those two district offset Obama's margins in Fairfield and Varina, then the county's vote could come down to the Brookland District – which McCain won four years ago by just 42 votes out of the 37,219 cast there.
This is the first presidential election since the county shifted the lines of its magisterial districts slightly in 2011, following the 2010 U.S. census.
Only minor voting issues had been reported in Henrico as of 1:45 p.m. today. Power flickered at two precincts in the Fairfield District this morning, but Dominion Power crews quickly restored it and no votes were lost, Coakley said.
The number of absentee voters in the county was lower this year than in 2008 by about 4,000, Coakley said. But, at about 16,000, "it's still high," he said.
Henrico voters today also are helping select a replacement for outgoing U.S. Senator Jim Webb in a race contesting former governors George Allen, a Republican, and Tim Kaine, a Democrat. Webb defeated Allen six years ago to claim the seat.
Voters in the western portion of Henrico also are choosing between Republican incumbent Eric Cantor and Democrat Wayne Powell in the race for the 7th District U.S. House of Representatives seat, while voters in the eastern part of the county are choosing between Democratic incumbent Bobby Scott and Republican challenger Dean Longo.

TobyMac to bring 'Hits Deep Tour' to Sovereign Center in Reading
READING, Pa. - Six-time Grammy Award-winning artist TobyMac is reprising his successful "Hits Deep Tour," and he's including Reading on this year's 20-city run.
The multi-artist tour, featuring a number of special guests, will play at the Sovereign Center on Dec. 5.
"This tour is going to be exactly what most people want to see when they go to a concert – a show where you know every song," said TobyMac. "Big hits that hit deep! Not just hits because they are sonically a good listen, but because they've spoken deeply to our souls."
The tour will feature a slightly new multi-artist lineup, showcasing some of the best-loved songs performed by TobyMac and some of the biggest and brightest artists in Christian music, including Brandon Heath, Mandisa, Jamie Grace, Colton Dixon and Chris August.
"These artists are all headliners in their own right, but we've come together to serve up the hits that have become a part of people's lives," said TobyMac.
The tour's announcement comes on the heels of TobyMac winning his sixth Grammy Award, the Billboard Music Awards for top Christian artist and album, and his first American Music Award for favorite artist in the contemporary/inspirational category.
TobyMac's most recent project, EYE ON IT, earned him the highest chart debut of his solo career, topping the Billboard Top 200 and the iTunes overall and Christian sales charts.

The Age of Empires franchise has long been a favorite of strategy fans. When Age of Empires Online debuted, fans of both MMOs and strategy games rejoiced. Does the game live up to his vaunted pedigree? Find out in our official Age of Empires review.
If you've played any previous entries in the series, you're going to be in for a bit of a shock in terms of style. Gone are the realistic environments and militaries, instead they've been replaced by a cartoony, cel-shaded look. The troops have become heavily stylised with oversized muscles and little chicken legs; it's not an Age of Empires experience you'll have encountered before, and this will turn some people off. Personally, I found the game on the whole to be so different from the others in the franchise that it didn't bother me too much. The animations are slick and again very in-keeping with the style of the game, whether it's an archer attacking or a villager fishing. It may not be what you were hoping for from your next Age of Empires fix, but the design is certainly coherent and doesn't jar with itself.
Read more of Luke Karmali's The MMORPG.com Age of Empires Online Review.
This is a fair review, I agree with a lot of things and especially the price and the conclusion. I created a thread on these forums to express my anger about price:
I played *A LOT* of RTS, even obscure ones not published internationally (I even bought some "local" RTS when I was abroad) and Age of Kings+The Conquerors is still the best RTS ever for me, it was simply PERFECT. So this AoE Online was a horrible disappointment in all aspects because they did so many things wrong and were so after money, abusing an established reputation...
My next hope now is Trion's future online RTS "End of Nations". Wait and see!
Noone even does pvp in this game and the designers made pvp an afterthought in this game. Go figure, pvp an afterthought in a rts game. Just goes to show this is nothing more than a money grab. They never cared about bringing a real rts experience to players.
Grim Dawn, the next great action rpg!
6.7 was fairly generous IMO. It kept me occupied for a few hours though.
Sounds like just another cash grab. Imagine that.

RTS does not just mean PvP. The original games had very robust single player campaign. I hate the way that PvP player think every thing in the gaming universe revolves around them and if a game dares not focus on their needs it' 'fail' or whatever.
Saying that, this version is indeed lacking. I didn't care about the change in art style, I enjoy a wide variety of art, but it simply didn't negage me.
I did reinstall AoE III becaue of it though, so it wasn't all bad.
I have played this quite a bit, and have enjoyed it. That said, I cannot disagree with the review's conclusions.
As an RTS alone, it is entertaining enough, and the persistent component helps provide continuity from one scenario to another. But the relatively small supply of original scenarios ends soon enough, and the mid- to late-game is very same-y. At some point, it just isn't interesting enough to keep playing on a regular basis.
Compared to SC2, AoEO's campaign is much longer, but with less variety. Skirmishes with AI opponents are a bit more varied than SC2's skirmishes. But PvP is not even a comparison - SC2 wins that hands down, and unfortunately for AoEO, in RTS, PvP is everything. It's one fatal flaw that the game can't really recover from.
Still, it's a free download, so you don't lose anything by downloading it and trying it out. $10 will buy one civilization, which is a lot of content. I suppose the only aspect of the review I disagree with is the value -while I think AoEO falls far short of what it could have been, I have gotten more enjoyment out of it than many $50 games I've bought in the past.
Looks like old school Warcraft 2 lol.
But not as good ........
I think it is important to note the GPG took over development from Robot Entertainment after 6 months. So the question is how much groundwork had been done by then and how much was taken over by GPG. This article should have noted on that and as such I can say the reviewer should do more research next time. Or any research it seems since it's a 1 minute google search.
I'm going to guess the answer is no, but does "terrible pricing" reflect the newly reduced (significantly) prices?
Until you cancel your subscription, you are only helping to continue the cycle of mediocrity.
I really don't like the game's graphic style. But I guess I'm one of those former Age of Empires players who is biased about the game's looks.
Yeah not bad grading ,even if 6.7 is quite generous towards this game.
Do they still limit the civilizations available, and make it so that pvp requires you spend REAL MONEY for the best gear because if so then it deserves an overall 3/10 and i'm a fan of F2P with shops if that lets you know just how bad this is.
I had a few hours of fun with this game. But as the article said, it quickly starts getting repetitive and boring.
About the delay in contents / new civilizations:
Do you know WHY there's a delay? They had (still have?) an option to pay 102 Euro for a so-called Season Pass that lasted 6 months. Very expensive, but this was supposed to give you everything they released during the 6 month period. So people who bought the Season Pass at release, or shortly after, would have gotten the contents supposed to be released around Christmas, without paying extra for it. But after the delay, most those Season Passes are expired, and people will have to pay for what they should have gotten for free. Imo, this is a scam, and reason enough to avoid this game.
Reviewer gave it 6.7? Considering all the issues in the article, that's way too high. Shouldn't be over 5, imo.
the Greeks and Egyptians are currently both on offer for free, though to access the best units and upgrade them fully you need to buy premium packs.
I stopped reading from there : / Dont like to buy items from items shop to be the strongest
1.) It had a great title for a game.
2.) You can screencap the game while playing.
3.) If you try really realy hard you can find worse F2P games then AoEO.
1.) Someone actually gave the green light for this game.
2.) They released the game.
3.) There are over 1,400 bugs, errors and crashes in the game that still have NOT been fixed 7 months after release.
4.) The remaining playerbase is on life support.
5.) Developers and moderators show no respect for the remaining players.
To see the full list go to the official technical support forum
I wasn't exactly pleased with this one to be honest. I got it, played it for a couple weeks, then installed the previous version and went back to playing the 'real' AoE game.
(DISCLAIMER - The use of the word YOU in the above post is not directed at any one person in particular, but towards those who fall into the category itself - there is no personal attack here, neither intentional nor implied.)
6.7 hmm.. generous enough I guess

Same...Well if 3 or so hours is considered a few.......
The Spring patch released a month after this review addressed a lot of prior complaints and issues, including some mentioned in this review. June 2012 it goes full free to play, meaning all premium content in the game past and present can be earned simply by playing it and earning points.
"Champion mode" turns off gear and unlocks the full tech tree for all players regardless of level, thus ending the pay-to-win gripe.

You have got to be shitting me.
This move is a headshaker. First of all, Cam Barker isn't very good. This is evidenced by the fact that he was one of the worst defenseman on last season's Edmonton Oilers and was recently released from an AHL tryout by the Texas Stars. He's not good enough for the Texas Stars, but the Canucks think he can add to their blueline depth?
I'm not going to make too much fun of a training camp invite - much less one that only "may" happen - since it probably doesn't mean all that much. But I'm not even convinced that Barker is an upgrade over Derek Joslin (who wasn't even invited to training camp and remains in Chicago) or Marc-Andre Gragnani (who the Canucks allowed to walk, unqualified, this past summer). I mean, at least Marc-Andre Gragnani can stick in the AHL...
Read past the jump.
Some quick background on Barker. He was once a highly touted young defenseman who was the first person drafted after Evgeni Malkin and Alex Ovechkin back in 2004 (this "pedigree" probably explains why he keeps getting opportunities like this one). Barker even had a forty point season one year in Chicago earlier in his career.
However, the Blackhawks obviously didn't think much of his game and he was the first victim of their epic cap-crunch in 2010 when he was dealt to Minnesota before the playoffs for Nick Leddy and Kim Johnsson (who only ever played 8 games for Chicago). Oh boy did Bowman the Younger hose the Minnesota Wild in that one. Nick Leddy? Are you kidding me!?(*)
(*) Just for fun, here's Hockey Wilderness defending the Cam Barker for Nick Leddy trade in the summer of 2010.
So last season in Edmonton, Cam Barker played in 25 games while actually logging a lot of minutes in those contests for the Oilers. In those minutes, Edmonton got absolutely buried though Barker posted an even plus/minus rating thanks to a 1030 PDO. Yep, Cam Barker needed to get extraordinarily lucky to post an even rating. The season before that he was similarly buried in Minnesota, and the season before that he was a liability at 5on5 in both Chicago and Minnesota.
It's tough to imagine that Cam Barker can manage to make the Canucks, because it seems pretty clear that he isn't really an NHL defenseman. Best of luck to him though.
Schaefer, Legace, Fedoruk.
Not worried.

question, what do u think of Wade Redden if he's bought out?
I rank this idea alongside the Joslin one. Both are busts.
January 08 2013, 02:15PM
I don't think you guys need to worry, I highly doubt Canucks management would do something that stupid, they seem like smart guys. Anyone who watched Barker play last year can see he doesn't belong in the NHL...he was EASILY the worst d-man on the Oilers, which is...well, you know what that says. There was one instance in particular when he fell over while turning that was particularly hilarious/painful to watch.

Skip to comments.Rudy Giuliani (4 years ago today was the front runner. It's not over yet, folks!)
Posted on 11/16/2011 8:44:13 PM PST by Sun
Giuliani took the lead in national polls until December 2007, when he began to fall behind other candidates (snip)
(Excerpt) Read more at conservapedia.com ...
So don't give up on fighting for your favorite conservative candidate. There's still time!
Rudy was an adulterer lame duck politician with no future.
Then 9/11 happened.
Then he's a hero. Runs for President. Huge speaker fees.
Right. Anything can happen!
Yeah...then we got mclame and we still lost. The candidates this time around are similarly disappointing.
The first primary hasn't even been held.
Fer cryin' out loud people. Let's just ask the liberal media to appoint our candidate then.
Rudy is right about many things but he isn't conservative except in NYC. His lawsuits against gunmakers are unforgivable.
Here's the average poll (RCP) from 4 years ago:
29.1 Giuliani +13.6
Today's frontrunner(s) is hardly a "done deal," just as it wasn't 4 years ago.
KEEP FIGHTING for CONSERVATIVES! We can get rid of the RINOs.
"Yeah....and we got McCain. Good for us."
Let's not make that mistake again. Let's not settle.
"we got mclame and we still lost."
Maybe we lost because we got McCain. Maybe people thought he was the one who could win, and compromised their principles. Maybe some conservatives didn't fight hard enough.
"The first primary hasnt even been held.
Fer cryin out loud people. Lets just ask the liberal media to appoint our candidate then."
EXACTLY! I think you might be the only one who gets the point I'm trying to make (but maybe I didn't make myself clear enough).
McCain = Newt
Thompson = Cain
I don't think its too late for anybody....not Rudy, not Christie, and not Rubio....IF they want it....
truthfreedom's candidate = whom?
She might be able to find some liberal trial lawyer to sue someone, for that whiplash she must have from such a sudden reversal.
Ann, what in the world? Is she trying to become Karl Rove's replacement?
What the heck? That post was on another thread?
Excuse me...
Happy to take bets on those who think Cain or Perry will be the nominee. Cain I like. Perry i did before listening to his incredible Inarticulation and bumbling debate performance.
And sorry but Michelle and the rest are statistical margins of error.
I'd take Rudy anyday over Romney....
and I would like all men to be lily white with no sins whatsoever, but lets get real here....we need a leader, not a saint....
lets get ourselves a Leader!
Rubio would be my dream candidate, and probably the dream candidate for most conservatives. The left is already attacking him.
"Happy to take bets .."
If you didn't listen to Mark Levin's Wed. show, you might want to consider this, before you give up on anyone:
"November 16, 2011
Mark talks about what the media's reaction to Ronald Reagan was in 1980 when he was in the presidential race against Jimmy Carter and how negative it was. They kept saying that there was no way he could win, that he was out of touch - and yet he ended up winning by the largest margin ever"
excerpt http://www.marklevinshow.com/home.asp
Thompson = Cain
"Excuse me..."
No problem, I've done that myself, and you are CORRECT.
"So don't give up on fighting for your favorite conservative candidate. There's still time!"
I agree. But 2008 is an unfortunate example. We got the most Rinoreest of RINOS as our candidate.
Mitt 2008 = Mitt 2012
McCain 2008 = Newt 2012
Ron Paul 2008 = Ron Paul 2012
Huckabee 2008 = Bachmann + Santorum 2012
Giuliani 2008 = Perry 2012
F. Thompson 2008 = Cain 2012
You don't necessarily get the same results every year.
Newt has more terrible divorces, has peaked, or will peak, too early, and is no war hero.
Ron Paul, 4 years ago at this time, was at 3% in the polls, and some recent polls have him as high as 20% (others around 12%). So, he's ahead of last time.
The tea party didn't exist 4 years ago. Will they rally behind a candidate they don't really like that much, or if they're worried about other factors, if the alternative is Romney?
You can't compare a POS RINO AR Gov with two conservatives. I see no populism or schmaltzy folk-isms from Bachmann or Santorum.
In '08, my most sensible choice in the Primaries was Mittens compared to the other garbage running. There was no Obamacare and McLame was to the left of Mittens in that field. Now Mittens is to the far left of the other candidates like McLame was to those candidates. There are some other questionable calls. Guiliani is a straight up pro choice RINO. Not really a good match up with a God fearing Perry. Also I don't see a match-up for Newt at all. So many things are different, like you point out, that there are few comparisons that can be made.
I'm not saying they're the same in all respects.
I'm saying that the Huck slot, the socon slot, could be filled by Bachmann and Santorum. They're both closely affiliated with the Social Conservatives, the Evangelicals. And that's who Huckabee appealed to.
Giuliani = Perry because - 1) Both were pumped up by the elites for no real apparent reason. 2) Perry endorsed Giuliani in 2008. 3) Perry and Giuliani worked on business deals together.
McCain = Newt because "the most famous one" "the gold watch" "lifetime achievement award"
I worked on Reagan's campaign in Texas in 1980 so I remember all that quite well. I was basing my comments on my experience in that and subsequent campaigns.
My horse in this race is whoever is going to defeat Obama. At the end of the day, that's all that matters.
Wouldn't it be funny if this GOP primary was all a show for the marxist media and the socialist DNC until the last moment when the real candidate steps forward and floors them all, not Rudy, but......................................
Yes, 2008 was bad, but my point is, we shouldn't base our decision on poll numbers, particularly this early.
"My horse in this race is whoever is going to defeat Obama."
Many Dems voted for Kerry in the primaries, even though they didn't like him, because they thought he would win the General. Of course, he did not.
Let's not make a misake and pick a "moderate" candidate, just because we THINK they can win.
Hope we can all join together in this primary season, and pick the most CONSERVATIVE candidate.

Mitch Maier leads off the inning against John Axford and makes like a cricket batsman.
Axford threw a wicked googly. A little too wicked.
Really, no clue what Maier was doing, but whatever… Down a run in the ninth you have to do whatever it takes to reach base. That qualifies.
Mike Moustakas follows with a rocket down the first base line that first baseman Cody Ransom kicks and his only play is at first. Not an error because he got an out, but it had the makings of a 3-6-3 double play. Moose hit it hard enough and Ransom could have stepped forward to make the throw – he's left handed, so it would have been a quick transfer – and returned to the bag in time to get Moose. Maybe, maybe not.
So the tying run moves to scoring position. Wednesday's hero, Alcides Escobar can't do it two nights in a row and strikes out on a nice slider.
That brings up Jarrod Dyson. I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: Dyson is a nice player if he's your 25th man on the bench. I can live with him as a pinch runner and a defensive replacement for a Melky-like outfielder. The dude is striking out looking in 54 percent of his strikeouts. Not good. Tells me the guy isn't seeing the ball worth a damn. Or isn't confident in his abilities to make contact.
Thankfully, the bat didn't leave his shoulder. I mean, if I'm a Brewer fan, that would kill me. Axford has to throw strikes in that situation and the game is over. No way Dyson is making contact and the odds are strong he won't even attempt to swing. And Axford wasn't even close.
Which is key because the Royals speed merchant is the winning run.
Thankfully the Royals pinch hit Brayan Pena for Quintero. Pena swings at a high strike, then goes with a fastball and lines it into
right left. Maier scores easily, but Pena is going to get hung up between first and second. That was going to be a base running blunder to send the game to extras. Except the Brewers second baseman can't handle the throw… Dyson had stopped at third and breaks for home. Late throw…
(I had a moment of clarity this morning on my daily run… There were two outs in the inning and Pena's run didn't mean a thing. Maybe the correct play there is for the shortstop to put the ball in his back pocket. To not force the play. Sure, they could have gotten the out, and sure the top of the order was due up for the Royals, but the risk was going to be there that they couldn't make the play. Which is exactly what happened… However, with first base open, the Brewers could have walked Gordon to pitch to Getz. Pena forced the issue… As I've always said, there's a fine line between aggressive and stupid. There wasn't going to be any grey area on Pena's going to second. Turned out aggressive worked… For once.)
It's possible the end overshadowed a fine performance by Luke Hochevar. I've dissected and given up on Hochevar, but give credit where credit is due… His performance was outstanding.
And he did it without his slider. According to PITCH f/x, Hochevar threw a total of three sliders on Thursday. Three. It was his curveball that did the heavy lifting.
He threw 23 curves, 17 for strikes. Five of those were put in play and he recorded three ground outs (one was a double play), one fly out and one lonely single. Yes, he coughed up a couple of home runs, but I'm going to cut him some slack. He was pitching so well and keeping runners off the bases that those bombs were solo shots.
In innings one through six, the most pitches he threw in an inning was 13. The model of efficiency.
His final line:
That 7.1 innings pitched represents the longest outing by a Royals starter this year. Five times had a starter thrown seven innings (Bruce Chen has done it three times. Felipe Paulino and Hochevar each have one outing.) That's unreal. This rotation…
And now that the bats have gone back into hibernation, starts like Hochevar are necessary to keep this team in the game. Yeah, I'm Captain Obvious, but if Hochevar has one of his patented meltdown innings, this walkoff doesn't happen.
But it did.
So there.

Canada solid in men's volleyball opener at Universiade
SHENZHEN, China (CIS) – Despite being nervous out of the gate and some struggles in the second set, the Canadian men's volleyball team disposed of Switzerland 3-1 (25-13, 16-25, 25-17, 25-10) Saturday night in its first match of Group A at the 26th Summer Universiade.
"We didn't excel in any particular aspect of the game, but we played well as a group overall," said Team Canada head coach Larry McKay. "It's a good start, and we can build on this performance as we move forward in the tournament.
"We didn't know quite what to expect because we had absolutely no information on them, therefore it was a good test and we are very happy to have a win in the bank tonight," added team captain Rudy Verhoeff of Calgary.
The team in black and red came out on fire in the first set, opening up an 8-4 advantage and leading 16-8 at the second break. Victoria native Marc Howatson was particularly stellar on the block and from the service line, as Canada controlled the rest of the action to win the first set 25-13.
Switzerland responded in the second frame however with a renewed energy, as the Canadians fell behind 16-11 and 22-13. McKay made two substitutions at this point, but it was too late to salvage the set, as the Suisse prevailed 25-16.
In the third, the Canadians jumped out to 8-4 and 16-9 advantages at both breaks, and at 22-16, Laval University star Karl De Grandpré of Pierreville, Que., put the set out of reach with two consecutive aces, as Canada ultimately closed it out 25-17.
By that point, with the will of the Swiss broken, the final stanza was a mere formality. Up 18-10, McKay's troops rattled off the final seven points of the set to conclude the match.
"We were strong in all aspects of the game," commented De Grandpré, who finished the game with 11 kills. "If we execute well, we can go far in this tournament."
Spencer Leiske, a native of Lacombe, Alta., tied de Granpré for the team lead with 11 kills. Howatson and Verhoeff each finished with three blocks.
On Sunday, the Canadians (1-0) will be back on the court when they challenge the host team from China (1-1) at 8 p.m. local time (8 a.m. ET).
"We expect a crazy atmosphere, and as a team we are really excited about [playing China]," said Verhoeff, a member of the reigning CIS champion Trinity Western University Spartans. "The Chinese are going to play their traditional fast offensive style, but we will be ready."
"Playing the host team at an international competition of this caliber is always a test," added McKay. "It will be the experience of a lifetime for our players."

The Waiting Is The Hardest Part…
Fifty-two years of marriage brought them 3 children, 9 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren.
She's been waiting almost fifteen years to hold his hand once more and the waiting is almost over. Goodbyes have been said and the only thing left to do is continue to pray for her peaceful journey home.
Well, just one more thing.
Grandma when you're reunited with your best friend, will you give Grandpa a hug and kiss from me?
UPDATE: The waiting is over. Grandpa came to pick her up this afternoon. Together again. Forever and ever.

Writing for the Web
The web is information-based, and our minds are attuned to this. Online, a mixture of text, images, sounds, and video compete for the attention of the reader, and we've learned how to best process this. We don't read web pages, we scan web pages. And the more we work with the web, the faster we scan. Here are some tips to get your message across.1

The basics
Make sure your info is up-to-date.
Content has to be necessary, meaningful, and kept up-to-date. Prospective students will quickly drop a school from their list if information is outdated or hard to review! Dump outdated content if you can't keep up with it.
Put the most important info at the top of your page
Courtesy Springboard SEO
If readers don't notice relevant content, they'll move on to another page, or even exit the site. Use the inverted pyramid method – the first two paragraphs must succinctly state the most important information.
Don't forget the top left portion of your web page is incredibly valuable.
This heatmap tracking eye movement illustrates dominant reading patterns.
Eye-tracking studies confirm the dominant reading pattern is F-shaped.2 A similar pattern is described as the "Google Golden Triangle."3
Make each page easy to scan.
On primary pages, paragraphs should be two to three sentences – only 70 words total! Go over your text several times, removing extra words each time – tighten it up. Readers don't want prose… they want to get info or complete an action and move on.
If you've got content below the fold, provide visual cues, like meaningful headlines (h3) that intro your paragraphs. Pay extra attention to the first two words of your headlines – usability expert Jakob Nielsen says this "nanocontent" – the first 11 characters in a headline – is key.#4
Use the EMU vocabulary list.
These words are part of the EMU identity. Use them to keep the style and tone of the site consistent, and to increase our findability and search rankings.
Use bulleted lists or tables.
More than three items to list? Bulleted or numbered lists work well. Tables are great, too, for stats and other grid info.
Audience and style guidelines
Identify your audience.
The primary audiences of most pages on our public website are prospective students (ages 14-17), their parents, and their guidance counselors. Secondary audiences include adult learners, alumni, prospective graduate students, athletics fans, and community members. Identify your audiences before you start writing, and make sure your content speaks to each.
Write in a conversational tone in an active voice.
What you write is the beginning of a conversation between EMU and a prospective student, and the active voice is clearer and more engaging than the passive voice.
Write at a high-school grade level, using common language.
Unless your content is relatively deep within the site, you must write sparingly and resist those big academic words! It's essential for findability and search engine optimization (SEO) to use the words and phrases your readers use. Use the
What not to do
- DON'T use all caps in your writing. That's what italics or bold is for.
- Don't put whole paragraphs in bold or italics. If you must, use a blockquote.
- Don't say "click here." Be descriptive – say an article on bees or the library catalog.5
- Don't write out instructions. Don't say, "go to the registrar's page and click 'Transcripts'." Instead say, "You get transcripts from the registrar" and link directly to the transcripts page.

Judging by an early Spanish review (lost the link, I'm sure it's on Endgadget somewhere), it's not very impressive. Yes, the improved connectivity over the iPad is very nice (really, who enjoys paying $30 for yet another adapter?), but this device has other issues. The Atom processor is ill-placed in a device meant for media consumption and which runs Windows 7: It's simply too slow. Apple can get away with a slower CPU (yes, the A4 isn't all that special) because their OS is designed with it in mind. It's *optimized*, which I'd be hard-pressed to say about the Atom/W7 combination.
Aside from that, there's the obvious issue that Windows 7 (despite everything Microsoft says) isn't the optimal platform for a touch-only device. Have you taken a look at the apps you run on your desktop/notebook? Notice how none of them are touch-oriented? This is what the iPad has going for it. It's built from the ground-up for touch. It's the only way to interface with it. And all the developers know it, meaning every app will be (and *is*) touch-oriented. You won't have to squint and you won't need the accuracy and still hand of a brain surgeon.
Now, I'm not an Apple fanboy (I don't ever intend to buy an iPad), but there are certain things the HP Slate (and most other tablets that will be released this year) simply won't be able to beat: Touch is one. Ecosystem is the other. Yes, ecosystem. Software will make or break a tablet, not the hardware that runs it. This is something that many people seem to miss when they start comparing technical specifications and dismiss the iPad as an overgrown iPhone (I don't have one of those either). And considering the size of the App Store thus far and its massive growth in the past years, there's simply no chance for other tablets to flourish. This includes the HP Slate. The Windows ecosystem is based around mouse and keyboard, and don't expect this to change any time soon only because of the single tablet this year which happens to run Windows 7.
Suffice to say, this device will probably be a wash ... but then again, crazier things have happened. Maybe HP will get things right and the Slate will spread like a wildfire. But then again, maybe unicorns and fairies will take over the world and demand the blood of babies as godly sacrifice. Who knows?
P.S. I bet you $10 nobody will know what the HP Slate is by next year. ;)
Note: This is just a personal comment, don't take it as a review or anything of the kind. Just my take on the whole tablet thing.

Heisenberg say whaaaaa?ReplyCancel
I love him. Wasn't listening, too distracted. Don't judge meReplyCancel
Did he look down and read it off his paper or did he wing it? (Cant load it for some reason)ReplyCancel
meh he basically says that every week on The SoupReplyCancel
You mean Winger it!ReplyCancel
Sandy, he refused a promoter. Read the whole thing.ReplyCancel
not too mention so does Joan Rivers on Fashion PoliceReplyCancel
It was funny.ReplyCancel
Okay, this may not be the best place for book club talk this time as people might actually watch a Joel McHale video, even though he is dead to me. Back to Off TopicReplyCancel
Sugar! Whenever you get here, Seven suggested another movie for us to watch: The Men Who Stare At Goats
Sorry I missed the live streaming event on Saturday. I did watch Goats. Dakota was right to ream out her agent. "The townie girl who works in the cafeteria and can be had for $50" wasn't that memorable.ReplyCancel
Oh shit guys, I've heard that joke before. Did he steal it from someone else?! Are we about to have another Mencia & Dane Cook sticky fingers on the mic meltdown extravaganza? WHERE IS JOE ROGEN?! Meh, I'll look into this later but it's probably just a rehash from the soupReplyCancel
He looked really bad always looking down forearm the paper I was wondering if he refuses to wear glasses and didn't want the teleprompter because he couldn't see.ReplyCancel
Why dead?ReplyCancel
Joe Brogan was probably broadcasting UFC fights Saturday night.ReplyCancel
Seems as if he was trying too hard to plug E! and it bombed horribly. It's only funny on The Soup because you expect stupid crass humor. E!pic Fail Joel.ReplyCancel
Butterkwup, someone who was there totally saw him all over another woman. Right until his wife showed up. Gross.ReplyCancel
I can't stand the Correspondents Dinner.
The press should NEVER play nice with politicians.
There should always be a complete war between them.
A compliant media allowed the Iraq War to happen.
So basically fuck everyone who was at the dinner, in a nutshell.ReplyCancel
And you puddled your pants? Pull yourself together Heisenberg!!!!ReplyCancel
But…. He was supposed to be the exception to the rule.
I'm so sad now.ReplyCancel
@Dingle I agree—not appropriate and very disrespectful. No wonder politicians get no respect these days.ReplyCancel
I like McHale on the Soup but that was one of the lamest featured guest speeches at the WHCD that I have ever seen.ReplyCancel
@Sherry-very true. Hello my mayor smokes crack. But these dinners just make it worse.ReplyCancel
How come y'all haven't deemed this as racist, like when Sandy told a K-troll to find a black guy to fuck?ReplyCancel
I watched it, it was as Joel himself said, a rollercoaster. Parts were funny and parts were groan worthy. This one was groan worthy, the comment may be true, but it was the wrong room for a joke like that. His Christie fat jokes weren't funny either, but the "I'm investigating myself, the results are in, I did nothing wrong' bit was funny.ReplyCancel
I'm all for poking fun at politicians and love it when they make fun of themselves. But damn, make it funny! A comedian's sole purpose in his career is to make us laugh, so DO IT!
I agree, the media and politicians should not be mingling and playing footsies under the table together. Bad form for both. It leads to tap dancing in bathroom stalls in between courses, and that leads to killing stories that the public needs to know about.ReplyCancel
Yeah he wasn't funny. I was unimpressedReplyCancel
No Rose I dont watch Community. Winging it to me is ad libbing.ReplyCancel

The O-line Is The Problem......... BOTTOM LINE.......

Yeah, we should have different coaches and 11 different starters on offense and defense too...
Oh, and that punter shouldn't be here...
And Green and White? What's up with that?
Posted 05 October 2005 - 12:24 AM
Man... and with our front four that = disaster for your QB.
I'd actually feel better if Brooks started. Vinny has an axe to grind with us and always had a special touch on the deep ball. I remember what you guys did to the Fins that MNF years back...
That said... your O-line better come prepared or it's going to be a loooooooong day. Our D is the best in the league. Some say it's as good if not better than our SB defense. The ONLY weak link is Bolden. If Vinny gets time to throw at him, we'll have problems.

first off westhoff is a great special teams coach. he has always done well with our special teams. second of all nugent obviously doesn't have the leg for touchbacks. even if you claim that westhoff makes him directional kick(which we have no proof of. nugent probably can't even control his own directions), you honestly think a special teams coach would tell someone who CAN kick touchbacks NOT to kick touchbacks. and to directional kick and let the opposing team return it. lets be serious.

Amen... Automattica became Wuss-attica really fast!
Can you say Carolina game?
Posted 06 October 2005 - 08:49 AM
Do u even watch the games? how can u say that I say that and have no proof of. Watch the game. When do u ever see him kick to the middle. its always on one side. And what make shim such a good coach? Cause everyone says he is? When was the last time we had a top special teams unit. Not since game 1 of 02 when mortan ran 2 back. I know cochery ran one back last year but it was a fluke. Nobody else has done anything really. Wake up and see our special teams are average. westhoff should get the boot for having all these years and still not putting a playmaking unit on the field. And yes he does tell him to kick it to one side simply cause it takes away lanes for the returner.

Ahhh fear. Vinny's afraid.
Geritol Bon Bon man will be on his back Sunday.
(Take that in jest please... I love Vinny, but fear for his health. Your O-line isn't strong enough IMO to stop Booger, SIm, Hov', and Spires.)

Can he throw that far from the prone position?
Posted 06 October 2005 - 10:44 AM
I'm gonna move this to the smackdown forum now because that's what it has become
Oh and don't even try to use your WRs. Caus ethey couldn't catch crabs from a 5 dolla hooker let along a football.
Posted 06 October 2005 - 04:05 PM
why would u directional kick if you can get touchbacks. to take away lanes?? does that make any sense to you??? HINT HINT. IF YOU TOUCHBACK THERE ARE NO LANES!!! so of course nugent doesn't have the leg. duh. that's why you tell him to kick directionally cuz he doesn't have the leg. it's so obvious
Posted 06 October 2005 - 04:11 PM
Wow once again u make no sense. Vinny has an arm and can bomb it all day. does that mean that u let him? NO! of course it makes sense. Look lets say westhoff says kick it. lets say nugent kicks it 1 yard deep in the end zone. The guy is gonna run it out and will have all types of room to do it. if he dierectional kicks it to th 5 yard line he'll gaet tackled earlier so it more then makes up for the yardage. Westhoff is either an idiot or doesn't have confidence in his unit to cover the whole field. If u watch nugents video in collge he kicks them through the endzone. Its only a 5 yard difference in the NFL I believe so he can kick it 5 yards deep. Remember the out of bounds kicks? Its cause he was trying to directional kick it EVEN WESTHHOFF SAID SO!

[UPDATE: LTC Lakin's punishment here]-[DAY 2 HERE] The main stream media should be ashamed for their non-investigative reporting on the Lt. Col. Lakin court-martial, and the Obama eligibility issue in general. I find it disgusting that the media wait until the day of the actual court-martial trial to report LTC Lakin's plight that begun more than a year ago. Out of all of the media outlets in this country why must they all regurgitate the same AP story? Do we not have any journalists left? You can view the regurgitated AP report at ABC, Fox, Forbes, LA Times, WTOP, and Yahoo. Image source.
1:52 - Snippets via Stars and Stripes; The guilty plea won't erase Lakin's bid to challenge the president's legitimacy in court. Those charges dealt with secondary issues, not his direct refusal to deploy... ...His attorneys were expected to challenge that issue later Tuesday, although the military judge hearing the case already has placed tight restrictions on how far she'll let them go... ...At the hearing, Lakin told the court that he still believes that questions surround Obama's presidency but that he should not have refused to meet with his superiors and report to Fort Campbell, Ky., while making his protest. "I was praying and soul searching," he said. "I believed there was a question that needs to be answered to ensure a valid chain of command. But I had asked every question, done everything else I could short of disobeying orders, without success." -Source.
3:15 - Snippet via CAAFlog(anti-Lakin blog); ...Judge Lind found his guilty pleas to be provident and accepted them. The defense then moved to dismiss the dereliction of duty spec as an unreasonable multiplication of charges in light of the accused's guilty plea to Specification 3. The prosecution did not oppose the motion, and Judge Lind granted it. She then entered guilty findings on Specifications 1-3 of Charge II and on Charge II itself. LTC Lakin elected to be tried by a panel of officers. The defense asked the judge to advise the members that LTC Lakin had pled guilty to violating lawful orders, and that his pleas were accepted. Neither side attempted to use voir dire to explore their theory of the case. Of the ten officers named to the court by the convening authority, nine had heard about the case; one expressed an opinion negative to the accused, and the judge granted a challenge for cause for that member. The prosecution did not exercise any peremptory challenges; the defense challenged one member, leaving eight. All are O-6s. ...The state of play now is as follows: trial will begin at 1500 hours with opening statements on the missing movement offense. Source.
3:33 - Snippets via Military.com; Lakin drew a distinction between the charge he pleaded guilty to -- failing to report for duty -- and the charge of missing movement by skipping the flight to Fort Campbell. Lakin refused to deploy to Afghanistan this summer because he maintains that if Obama is not legally eligible to be commander-in-chief and therefore any orders he issues would be unlawful. ...Whether or not Lakin is convicted on the one remaining charge, he still faces a maximum of 18 months in jail, separation from the Army, and loss of all pay and allowances. One of the four counts of disobeying orders was subsequently dismissed by the court because the same charge is incorporated into one of the other counts. Had the conviction remained he would be looking at an additional six months confinement. Lakin admitted he disobeyed orders to report to superior officers. "But my orders to Fort Campbell were for the purposes of deployment," he said, arguing since those deployment orders were illegitimate, he was justified in not following them. ... The birther cause did make it into discussion, however, as Lakin spent more than an hour answering Lind's questions about his decision to plead guilty to failing to report for duty. Lakin spoke in low tones throughout the morning session, sometimes with long pauses before answering a question or pausing mid-sentence. Around the time he refused orders to meet with several superiors, he said, he was dealing with advice from legal counsel and was wrestling with his own conscience and personal beliefs. ...Though the court-martial is not going to weigh Lakin's arguments about Obama, the colonel's brother said Lakin "is looking forward to making a statement at the end of the trial." -Source.
8:00 - CDR Charles Kerchner, Patty Dunn, and Dr. Kate report on the LTC Lakin court-martial from Fort Meade... Video below...
9:30 - Via Safeguard Our Constitution; Countdown to Court Martial: Update from Dec 14, 2010. Update here.
11:00 - Snippet via WND; Lakin guilty on 3 counts. Army doctor still fighting most serious charge. Lakin's brother, Dr. Greg Lakin, was more upbeat about Puckett's defense strategy. ..."[Puckett] wants to focus on the big issue here," Greg Lakin told WND. According to Lakin, Puckett chose to concede the smaller matters in order to direct the court martial panel's attention on the "missing movement" charge, which is most closely linked to Obama's personal authority because it ties directly to the order to deploy to Iraq as part of Obama's surge strategy. "The president has taken full credit for the Afghanistan deployment, he signed the order," said Greg Lakin. "Terry will have a chance to say his piece during the sentencing portion of the trial." Continued here.

Very nice DAC with integrated amp
Pros: Excellent sound - lively, dynamic, natural. Built in headphone amp also very good with certain headphones like HD800, LCD-2, HE-500, etc
Cons: HP amp has unwelcome background noise making it unsuitable for sensitive headphones, output impedance is also weird.
NuForce has an interesting history of success. On the one hand, they became famous on the strength of their relatively high end amps and preamps. They still sell plenty of models in their "reference" line, most of which cost at least several thousand dollars. In more recent times they seem to have focused on the opposite end of the market - the budget end - and have achieved success there as well. Products like their HDP, the various Icon compact amplifiers, their NE series of IEMs, and of course the uDac, have cemented their place as a popular maker of affordable gear.
