The concept of templating is not new to web development. In fact, server-side templating languages/engines like Django (Python), ERB/Haml (Ruby), and Smarty (PHP) have been around for a long time. In the last couple of years however, we've seen an explosion of MVC frameworks spring up. All of them are slightly different, yet most share a common mechanic for rendering their presentational layer (aka da view): templates.
Let's face it. Templates are fantastic. Go ahead, ask around. Even its definition makes you feel warm and cozy:
template (n) - A document or file having a preset format, used as a starting point for a particular application so that the format does not have to be recreated each time it is used.
"...does not have to be recreated each time...." Don't know about you, but I love avoiding extra work. Why then does the web platform lack native support for something developers clearly care about?
The US Athletic Size Print Running Women's Lightweight Casual Shoes Retro Geometric InterestPrint 15 Sneakers On 6 Pattern OwvqxTHS7 is the answer. It defines a new
element which describes a standard DOM-based approach for client-side templating. Templates allow you to declare fragments of markup which are parsed as HTML, go unused at page load, but can be instantiated later on at runtime. To quote Rafael Weinstein:
They're a place to put a big wad of HTML that you don't want the browser to mess with at all...for any reason. Rafael Weinstein (spec author)
Feature Detection
To feature detect
, create the DOM element and check that the
.content property exists:
function supportsTemplate() { return 'content' in document.createElement('template'); } if (supportsTemplate()) { // Good to go! } else { // Use old templating techniques or libraries. }
Declaring template content
The HTML
element represents a template in your markup. It contains "template contents"; essentially inert chunks of cloneable DOM. Think of templates as pieces of scaffolding that you can use (and reuse) throughout the lifetime of your app.
To create a templated content, declare some markup and wrap it in the
id="mytemplate"> src=Shoes Heels Crystal Heel Shoes Club Light Black Sparkling Translucent Summer Color Glitter PVC 40 Heel Fall Heel Size Shoes Stiletto Platform Women's up "" alt="great image"> class="comment">
The observant reader may notice the empty image. That's perfectly fine and intentional. A broken image won't 404 or produce console errors because it won't be fetched on page load. We can dynamically generate the source URL later on. See the pillars.
The pillars
Wrapping content in a
gives us few important properties.
Its content is effectively inert until activated. Essentially, your markup is hidden DOM and does not render.
Any content within a template won't have side effects. Script doesn't run, images don't load, audio doesn't play,...until the template is used.
Content is considered not to be in the document. Using
querySelector()in the main page won't return child nodes of a template.
Templates can be placed anywhere inside of
, or
and can contain any type of content which is allowed in those elements. Note that "anywhere" means that
can safely be used in places that the HTML parser disallows...all but Loop Pink1 Hidden Risamrt Hook Fashion Women Sneakers Middle Suede Wedge Classic Upper Heel amp; 4aqRnva children. It can also be placed as a child of
id="cells-to-repeat"> some content
Activating a template
To use a template, you need to activate it. Otherwise its content will never render. The simplest way to do this is by creating a deep copy of its
Shoes Crystal Fall Heel Platform Women's up Sparkling 40 Club Shoes Heel Summer Light Black Shoes Heels Heel Size Translucent Glitter Color PVC Stiletto document.importNode(). The
.contentproperty is a read-only
DocumentFragmentcontaining the guts of the template.
var t = document.querySelector('#mytemplate'); // Populate the src at runtime. t.content.querySelector('img').src = 'logo.png'; var clone = document.importNode(t.Fall Heel Black Color Shoes Crystal PVC Club Summer Platform Women's 40 Light Sparkling Size Shoes Glitter Heel Heel Translucent Heels Shoes up Stiletto content, true); document.body.appendChild(clone);
After stamping out a template, its content "goes live". In this particular example, the content is cloned, the image request is made, and the final markup is rendered.
Example: Inert script
This example demonstrates the inertness of template content. The
only runs when the button is pressed, stamping out the template.id="container">function useIt() { var content = document.querySelector('template').content; // Update something in the template DOM. var span = content.querySelector('span'); span.textContent = parseInt(span.textContent) + 1; document.querySelector('#container').appendChild( document.importNode(content, true)); }Template used: 0alert('Thanks!')Template used 0
Example: Creating Shadow DOM from a template
Most people attach PU Patent 101 Heel Stretch Highest US Red 7 M Women's Fierce Boot qY8wpOUx to a host by setting a string of markup to
.innerHTML:id="host">PVC Heel Stiletto Size Light Fall 40 Shoes Crystal up Shoes Translucent Summer Color Women's Sparkling Platform Club Glitter Heel Heels Shoes Black Heel var shadow = document.querySelector('#host').createShadowRoot(); shadow.innerHTML = 'Host node';
The problem with this approach is that the more complex your Shadow DOM gets, the more string concatenation you're doing. It doesn't scale, things get messy fast, and babies start to cry. This approach is also how XSS was born in the first place!
to the rescue.
Something more sane would be to work with DOM directly by appending template content to a shadow root:
Women's Stiletto Heels Translucent Heel Glitter Shoes Platform Crystal Heel Sparkling Light Heel PVC Club Summer Fall 40 Color up Black Shoes Size Shoes :host { background: #f8f8f8; padding:Platform Sparkling Color Fall up Light PVC Heel Shoes Glitter Crystal Black Translucent Summer 40 Shoes Heel Club Heels Shoes Heel Size Women's Stiletto Size 40 Black Shoes Translucent Heel Fall up Shoes Stiletto Summer Sparkling Heels Heel Club Heel Light Platform Crystal Shoes Women's Color Glitter PVC 10px; transition: all 400ms ease-in-out; box-sizing: border-box; border-radius: 5px; width: 450px; max-width: 100%; } :host(:hover) { background:40 Heel Color Heels Shoes Size Women's Shoes Heel Fall Heel PVC up Club Crystal Black Stiletto Shoes Light Translucent Sparkling Summer Glitter Platform #ccc; } div { position: relative; } header { padding: 5px; border-bottomPapell Adrianna Ivory Dress Jamie Pump Women's gFBqUR: 1pxBeige with Ballroom Rhinestone Performance Tango Women's AF435 Shoes Latin Roymall Salsa Dance Shoes Model xYOgqInnwa solid #aaa; } h3 { margin: 0 !important; } textarea { font-family:Women's 5 White Vomero Women Nike 7 Zoom Running Anthracite 13 Black US Shoe Air AxqPFnSC inherit; width: 100%; height: 100px; box-sizing: border-box; border: 1px solid #aaa; } footer { position: absolute; bottom: 10px; right: 5px; } Heel Black Summer Size Heels Translucent Sparkling PVC Shoes Color Fall 40 Shoes Light up Shoes Heel Crystal Platform Heel Glitter Stiletto Women's Club

Here are a few gotchas I've come across when using
in the wild:
- If you're using Karlia Red Women's Ralph Lauren Lauren 7wq4YCz4, be careful of this bug. Templates that define inline
, many be moved to the head with PageSpeed's CSS rewriting rules.
- There's no way to "prerender" a template, meaning you cannot preload assets, process JS, download initial CSS, etc. That goes for both server and client. The only time a template renders is when it goes live.
Be careful with nested templates. They don't behave as you might expect. For example:
Activating the outer template will not active inner templates. That is to say, nested templates require that their children also be manually activated.
The road to a standard
Let's not forget where we came from. The road to standards-based HTML templates has been a long one. Over the years, we've come up with some pretty clever tricks for creating reusable templates. Below are two common ones that I've come across. I'm including them in this article for comparison.
Method 1: Offscreen DOM
One approach people have been using for a long time is to create "offscreen" DOM and hide it from view using the
hiddenattribute or
display:none.id="mytemplate" hidden> src="logo.png">class="comment">
While this technique works, there are a number of downsides. The rundown of this technique:
- Using DOM - the browser knows DOM. It's good at it. We can easily clone it.
- Nothing is rendered - adding
hiddenprevents the block from showing.
- Not inert - even though our content is hidden, a network request is still made for the image.
- Painful styling and theming - an embedding page must prefix all of its CSS rules with
#mytemplatein order to scope styles down to the template. This is brittle and there are no guarantees we won't encounter future naming collisions. For example, we're hosed if the embedding page already has an element with that id.
Method 2: Overloading script
Another technique is overloading
and manipulating its content as a string. John Resig was probably the first to show this back in 2008 with his . Now there are many others, including some new kids on the block like handlebars.js.
For example:
The rundown of this technique:
- Nothing is rendered - the browser doesn't render this block because
display:noneby default.
- Security issues - encourages the use of
.innerHTML. Run-time string parsing of user-supplied data can easily lead to XSS vulnerabilities.
Remember when jQuery made working with DOM dead simple? The result was
Heels Translucent Heel Shoes Size Heel Light Color Fall Sparkling PVC up Heel Platform Crystal Shoes Women's Stiletto Club Black 40 Glitter Summer Shoes querySelector()/
Heels Size Crystal 40 Stiletto Women's Black Light Shoes Sparkling Platform Heel PVC up Fall Color Heel Glitter Heel Club Shoes Summer Translucent Shoes querySelectorAll()being added to the platform. Obvious win, right? A library popularized fetching DOM with CSS selectors and standards later adopted it. It doesn't always work that way, but I love when it does.
I think
is a similar case. It standardizes the way we do client-side templating, but more importantly, it removes the need for our crazy 2008 hacks. Making the entire web authoring process more sane, more maintainable, and more full featured is always a good thing in my book.

At least from a regulatory perspective, the fog is starting to lift on what the next several years will bring in the way of employment law changes and updates.
With that in mind, the labor and employment law firm of Fisher & Phillips LLP is hosting two separate hour-long webinars this month for employers to get a sense of what change might be on the horizon. Especially of interest to employers will be insights from Fisher & Phillips attorneys on what to expect from agencies like the U.S. Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Through rulemaking and regulation, those agencies could bring about change that impacts a variety of employment practices like hiring procedures and discharge investigations. The two Fisher & Phillips seminars at which employers from around the country can log on and learn about those and other items will be held Tuesday, Dec. 11, starting at 1 p.m. and Dec. 18, also starting at 1 p.m.
The Dec. 11 session currently is full, but interested participants can register for the second session by visiting https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/238580321.
"I think there's going to be some really helpful information here," said Jeff Weintraub, managing partner in Fisher & Phillips' Memphis office. "We're likely to have a certain amount of gridlock coming out of Washington over the next four years. That's going to be interesting to watch. There's a lot legislatively that could be on the table.
"Where the rubber meets the road is what's going to happen out there in the world of the EEOC, the labor board, things from the previous four years, expansion of employment laws and what that means going forward."
It's an understatement to say it's a hot topic in the legal community at the moment. Only a few days before the first of the two Fisher & Phillips webinars, for example, the Memphis Bar Association's Labor & Employment Law Section is holding a daylong annual seminar at which several prominent national speakers will address these same topics.
The speakers include two members of the EEOC, U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Julia Gibbons and Lafe Solomon, action general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board.
Topics for the two events are not going to be similar. Katharine Kores, district director for the EEOC Memphis office, said topics for the Memphis Bar event are likely to include such issues as the EEOC's interest in guidelines for employers on the use of arrest and conviction records in employment decisions, as well as the broader view of sex discrimination coverage under Title 7.
Weintraub mentioned those topics as well, among others, such as employers making certain decisions because of employee communication on social media channels and a practice described as "pregnancy discrimination."
"They're trying to develop case law with regard to pregnancy discrimination," Weintraub said. "One of the areas being when a female has been forced into an unpaid leave status after being denied accommodations that are perhaps routinely provided to other non-pregnant, similarly situated employees.
"The gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community also is pushing hard to expand the Title 7 sex discrimination provisions. Historically, the provisions have referred to biological sex, not sexual preference."
Weintraub said he sees a lot more employment litigation and EEOC charges on the horizon and that it behooves employers to brush up on pertinent information as much as they can.

David Wilson didn't do much for the Giants through the first 12 games of the season, but he came up with an big one in lucky number 13 to help the team stay on top of the NFC East.
Wilson returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter, had a six-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and put the final touches on a 52-27 win over the Saints with a 52-yard run in the fourth quarter. Wilson also chipped in a couple of other long kickoff returns to help keep the Giants in fine field position — they had seven drives start in New Orleans territory — all day on their way to the win.
Wilson, who finished with 327 all purpose yards and 100 rushing yards, wasn't the only guy coming up with big returns. Jerrel Jernigan had a 60-yard kickoff return, Stevie Brown flipped the field on one of his two interceptions and the Giants rolled up more than 400 yards on all of their returns (there were two fumbles and two punts as well) during the day. That left the Giants offense without much heavy lifting to do, but they handled a limited workload awfully well.
Eli Manning threw four touchdowns to four different receivers, making up for a couple of bad interceptions. His first pick went for a touchdown and the second helped the Saints score 14 quick points to close the gap from 35-13 to 35-27 in the third quarter. Jernigan's return set them up with a short field and Manning turned it into a 10-yard touchdown pass to Victor Cruz. Drew Brees threw his second pick at the Giants' 8 on the next drive and the lead was back up to 18 points after a Lawrence Tynes field goal.
The Saints offense performed well enough until that second Brees pick, but the four turnovers left a lot of points on the field and there wasn't any fight left in the visitors at that point. Without any hopes of the playoffs still alive in New Orleans, the rest of the year will be about finding out which current defenders will stick around for 2013 and beyond.
As for the Giants, not much changes for them. The win means they remain on top of the NFC East, but the Cowboys and Redskins remain on their heels and in control of tiebreakers after their dramatic wins on Sunday. They'll need to keep rolling in Atlanta next weekend to maintain control of their own destiny this season.

Anti-Corruption program
On 5 August 2013 the Board of Directors of Pirelli & C. S.p.A. approved an Anti-Corruption program, called the "Premium Integrity Program". This is the program of reference in terms of banning corruptive practices and is a systematic collection of principles and rules already adopted within Pirelli, integrated with "new" and specific dispositions, in order to prevent or reduce the risk of corruption. It further strengthens the anti-corruption infrastructure of the Group and integrates, for Italy, the "231" Organizational Model.
This program was developed from the results of a specific evaluation of exposure to risks of corruption in the countries where the Group operates. This evaluation will be repeated periodically in order to guarantee steady monitoring of such risk; in addition, suitable education and awareness programs will be developed where they could be useful.
This "Premium Integrity Program" defines the values, principles and responsibilities that Pirelli, all its employees and all those with business or other relationships with the company, adhere to in terms of fighting corruption.
Additional languages are being published.

KERMIT, W.Va. — A Pizza Hut in southern West Virginia, where a district manager was caught on surveillance video urinating into a sink, is closing permanently.
The video dated Jan. 29 shows the manager at the Kermit, W.Va., restaurant urinating in a metal sink in a food preparation area. The incident occurred after business hours. The employee was fired.
Pizza Hut Corp. spokesman Doug Terfehr said Wednesday the decision to permanently close the restaurant was made Feb. 19, the day after the video surfaced.
The restaurant was owned by Wichita, Kan.-based Rage Inc. The company's website says it owns Pizza Huts in seven states, including other West Virginia locations.

[Spoilers below]
David Chase, the man who created and ran The Sopranos, spoke openly about the iconic show's final scene with the AP's Jake Coyle today.
In the scene, Tony Soprano is eating onion rings at a dinner with his family as various suspicious-looking people lurk around the restaurant, when the screen abruptly cuts to black.
Some people thought their cable went out. Once it was clear that the blackness was the intended ending, Chase and the show took a ton of heat, and people have spent years debating whether or not Tony was killed.
Now we have some answers from this AP interview that you really should read in its entirety. Chase was disinterested in the question of whether Tony lived or died (sorry guys), but he did do a ton of explaining.
He says it wasn't meant to be meta.
"I think a lot of people thought they were being made a fool of, that I was being really meta — is that the word? — and postmodern or just showing my quote-unquote 'contempt' for the audience or going "Ha, ha, ha. It's just a TV show." None of that was what was going on."
He says the scene was about "the fragility of it all."
"There was something else I was saying that was more important than whether Tony Soprano lived or died. About the fragility of all of it. The whole show had been about time in a way, and the time allotted on this Earth. ... All I wanted to do was present the idea of how short life is and how precious it is. The only way I felt I could do that was to rip it away."
He says that any ending that could have been interpreted as "crime doesn't pay" wouldn't have made sense for the series.
"Did Tony die or didn't he die? Well, first of all, it really comes down to this: There was, what, six seasons of that show? Seven? Am I supposed to do a scene and ending where it shows that crime doesn't pay? Well, we saw that crime pays."
He admits that the execution of the ending wasn't the best.
"And I think people did get it. It made them upset emotionally, but intellectually they didn't follow it. And that could very well be bad execution."
There's not much here for zealots who strongly believe Tony died or Tony didn't die. But interesting stuff anyway.

The bidding has gone crazy ... we're hearing the bidding for a Casey interview was over $1.5 million.
Now ABC News has just released a statement, saying it will no longer pay for photos and video in exchange for interviews.
The announcement comes days after TMZ published a story ... that Casey's lawyer, Jose Baez, was holed up in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City, taking bids from NBC, ABC and CBS. As we reported, Baez was in the Hotel bar Thursday night, discussing strategy with famed lawyer Mark Geragos.
Our sources say all three networks were offering the same deal -- they would pay a fortune to license photos and video from Casey. Short story -- it's a dishonest way of saying they don't pay for interviews.
We're told NBC -- which paid for Baez' hotel room -- was leading the pack in the Casey bidding war, even though the Network denied it was offering any money for an interview -- which is technically correct.
In its statement, ABC says, "We can book just about anyone based on the strength of our journalism."
Sure they can.
br />
Just when I think the Anthonys can't get any more loathsome and disgusting, they do. And the networks fighting over them are bottom feeders.
Has any one thought of the fact that Casey ia a LIAR? She wouldn't recognize the truth for any amount of money. Who really cares what she or any one has to say the fact is a baby is dead and a killer has gone free.
It is disgusting and weird, BUT those people are dirt poor from this whole horrible situation. I'm guessing they'll never find work again. They didn't kill Caylee. I don't know... toughy!
It would be blood money. It is so wrong.
How about the NETWORKS all give the $$$ they are willing to spend on any interview to the Missing Children groups to help find those children whose parents did the right thing and yet suffer because there are no resources to find them.
Bottom line...she was not convicted...think what you will...but she wasn't...and now she has to try and live a life basically in danger and in hiding...I would be looking for a payday too...for plastic surgery...name change...hell maybe a new country to call home.

Anything other than those athletic flip flops that look like they're made of scuba suit scraps. Man feet are hideous enough--shrouding them in those guys are a total lady-boner killer.ReplyDelete

Don't wear flip flops unless at the beach or poolside. Espadrilles are a much better alternative. Not feeling those leopard print- a little feminine... not a bad way to make some extra bucks.ReplyDelete

From the man himself, " it's less to do with the flip-flop and more to do with people's emotional feelings about men showing their feet, but the main rule is if you're gonna wear a flip-flop, you've gotta keep your feet in good shape. Even if that means a full-on pedicure, you gotta do it. Wearing flip-flops is a privilege, not a right."ReplyDelete
I do absolutely agree.
- AnonymousApril 14, 2011 at 2:03 PM
Twenty-five years ago nobody wore flip-flops anywhere ever, not even on the beach. So yes, it is possible to live without them. And I do. And I plan to continue a flip-flop-free existence until I die, or wind up incapacitated in a nursing home, and even then I have a "No Flip Flops" clause in my living will.ReplyDelete

Royals blanked by Twins, suffer 11th straight home loss
Kansas City, MO – The Kansas City Royals set a new record for futility with Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
The Royals suffered their 11th straight defeat at Kauffman Stadium to establish a new club record for consecutive home losses in one season. Kansas City lost its first 10 home games to start the 2012 season.
Ryan Doumit paced the Twins' offense with a solo homer and two RBI. Josh Willingham added an RBI single for Minnesota, which has won three in a row and seven of eight.
Samuel Deduno (2-1) tossed six-plus scoreless frames for the visitors. The right-hander gave up four hits while striking out five.
Meanwhile, Kansas City starting pitchers continued to struggle. Luis Mendoza (1-3) allowed three runs on seven hits to go with three walks over 4 1/3 innings.
Starting pitchers for the Royals are now in a stretch of 18 consecutive games without a winning decision. The club has gone just 3-15 during that span.
Despite issuing three walks and hitting a batter over the first three innings, Mendoza was able to keep Minnesota off the board early on.
The Twins' first hit came in the fourth, when Doumit led off the frame with a homer to right-center field.
"I'm just getting back to basics," Doumit said of his fourth homer in seven games. "After a slow start I watched some video and just tried to get back to simplifying things. As far as the team's concerned, we're getting great pitching and timely hitting. That's the key to success."
Minnesota tacked on two more runs in the fifth. Joe Mauer doubled to left and raced home on Willingham's single down the left-field line. Justin Morneau and Doumit followed with back-to-back singles to plate another run and make it 3-0.
Luke Hochevar then took over for Mendoza and recorded the final two outs of the inning.
Kansas City's best chance to score came in the seventh. Lorenzo Cain led off with a double to center which ended Deduno's night, and moved to third when Mike Moustakas lined out to right. Casey Fien recorded the final two outs to keep the Royals off the board, however.
"I had guys on base tonight and definitely needed to come through there," Cain said. "I didn't get it done. We need timely hits right now. I feel like if we get those timely hits, it's a completely different ballgame. As a whole we've all been struggling right now."
Jared Burton and Glen Perkins tossed a scoreless eighth and ninth, respectively, to secure the victory. Perkins picked up his 12th save of the season.
Game Notes
Mendoza fell to 2-2 lifetime against the Twins ... Minnesota started a six- game road trip on Tuesday, while the Royals began a nine-game homestand ... Prior to Tuesday's game, Kansas City reinstated catcher Salvador Perez from the restricted list. Additionally, the team optioned catcher Adam Moore to Triple-A Omaha, claimed outfielder Quintin Berry off waivers from the Detroit Tigers, transferred pitcher Danny Duffy to the 60-day disabled list, recalled pitcher Kelvin Herrera from Omaha and optioned pitcher Louis Coleman to the Storm Chasers.

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have proven they can win without their stars.
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have proven they can win without their stars.
Troy Polamalu. James Harrison. LaMarr Woodley. Antonio Brown. The list of familiar faces forced to watch the Steelers play from the sidelines this season is lengthy and littered with Pro Bowl selections and Super Bowl rings.
Yet Pittsburgh has survived by living up to "the standard is the standard" ethos set forth by coach Mike Tomlin. No matter the position, player or circumstances, the Steelers always seem to find a way to get by.
Until now anyway.
The two-game losing streak Pittsburgh (6-5) rides into Sunday's game at Baltimore has done more than push the Steelers to the fringe of the AFC North race, it's shown that on a team of interchangeable parts there remains an indispensable one.
Ben Roethlisberger.
Since the team's franchise quarterback went down with a sprained shoulder and dislocated rib in the third quarter against Kansas City on Nov. 12, the offense that hummed so efficiently with Roethlisberger's No. 7 taking the snaps has turned into the Keystone Kops.
Interceptions. Fumbles. Penalties. The flaws Roethlisberger's right arm so capably covered up during arguably the best start of his career have been exposed in the team's first losing skid in three years.
"It's disgusting, and it's not something that we're all about here," said Brown, who expects to return after missing three games with an ankle injury. "Hopefully, I can help bring back some order to this team."
Something that's been in short supply since Roethlisberger walked into the tunnel on that cold, wet Monday night against the Chiefs, his right shoulder throbbing and a dislocated rib coming dangerously close to his aorta.
In the 35 drives the Steelers have played without Roethlisberger, backups Byron Leftwich and Charlie Batch have produced two touchdowns, three field goals, 17 punts, 11 turnovers and two season-damaging defeats.
Still, the 37-year-old Batch — who will likely make his second straight start on Sunday in Baltimore — insists Pittsburgh hasn't become too reliant on Roethlisberger.
"I wouldn't necessarily say that," Batch said. "There's a lot of guys on this team that are capable of making plays. But for whatever reason we haven't been able to get into the end zone. And I think right now we're going to figure out a way to do that and I don't think anybody in this locker room thinks another way."
Holding onto the ball would help. Heck, holding onto the ball would likely make the difference.
The Steelers went 4-2 in games without Roethlisberger from 2007-11, including three victories to start the 2010 season while the quarterback served a four-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy.
Pittsburgh turned it over 10 times in those six games. Or one less than the Steelers have given it away in their last eight quarters.
"Whatever reason, Ben in, Ben out, we still ain't been executing well," said Leftwich, who fractured two ribs in a 13-10 loss to the Ravens.
two weeks ago. "We've got to fix that and fix our turnover problem and we'll be OK."
Roethlisberger returned to practice on Wednesday in a limited capacity, though it appears extremely unlikely he'll be ready to face Baltimore, meaning the Steelers will again rely on Batch to revive their season.
The 15-year veteran, who turns 38 next week, isn't too old to believe in redemption. He's won games in the past while subbing for Roethlisberger. There's no reason to think he can't do it again if Roethlisberger is relegated to wearing a sweat suit and ear buds on Sunday.
"We have to figure out what we need to do," Batch said. "In order for us to get to where we want to get to, we have to start winning."
Tomlin stressed Pittsburgh's offensive issues go far beyond quarterback play and he's taken aggressive steps to get his team's attention, benching starting running back Rashard Mendenhall in favor of Jonathan Dwyer and dropping Mike Wallace to co-starting status with Emmanuel Sanders.
The move came as a surprise to Wallace, who didn't know about the possible demotion until the coach announced it during his usual Tuesday press conference. Wallace, a Pro Bowler last season, had just one catch against the Browns and had a pass bounce off his hands in the third quarter, leading to an interception.
"I know I'm not making enough plays," Wallace said.
Having a quarterback who lacks Roethlisberger's big arm doesn't help matters. Batch tried to hit the speedy Wallace deep downfield in Cleveland only to see the underthrown pass flutter into the arms of Browns defensive back Joe Haden.
It was the type of miscue Batch avoided during his previous relief appearances, ones that must be eliminated if the Steelers want to win in Baltimore for just the third time in a decade.
Having some semblance of a running game would help. Tomlin awarded Jonathan Dwyer the starting spot based on his production and the fumbling problems that have bedeviled Mendenhall and Isaac Redman.
It's a role Dwyer insists he's ready to embrace
"You have to produce and go out there and make plays for your team," he said. "They're depending on you to be the established guy to get the run going. I've done it before (25 carries a game), so it's nothing new to me. So, whatever they need me to do, I'll do it."
And the Steelers will almost certainly have to do it without Roethlisberger. Yes, they're not the same team without their best player. So what?
"Not having Ben out there hurts us," Mendenhall said. "We haven't been executing the way we need to to win games and that's evident. We just need to execute better."
The sooner, the better.
NOTES: Polamalu practiced for the first time since Oct. 5. Polamalu has played just five quarters all season due to a strained right calf ... The team moved center Maurkice Pouncey to left guard on Wednesday while starting left guard Willie Colon rested his aching knee. If Colon can't play against the Ravens, Pouncey could start at guard with Doug Legursky moving to center ... WR Jerricho Cotchery (ribs) was limited in practice while Colon, Leftwich, Woodley (ankle), RT Mike Adams (ankle) and LT Max Starks (rest) did not practice.

At the beginning of the week, Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly left open the possibility that Nick Foles could supplant Michael Vick as the starting quarterback. While Foles didn't go 100-for-100 with 27 touchdown passes as Kelly stated in his press conference, the rookie coach was probably quite pleased with his backup signal-caller, who went 22-for-31 for 296 yards and four total touchdowns (including a rushing score).
With Foles in fine form, receiver Riley Cooper exploded for a career-high 120 yards, receiver DeSean Jackson scored twice and running back LeSean McCoy added 171 total yards against a respectable Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense. Vick told reporters on Saturday that "it's going to be a long road" back to health from the hamstring injury that forced him out of the game in Week 5.
The Q: Should Foles stay as starter?
While it seems unlikely Vick will lose his job, Foles could make it interesting with a similar effort in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Other Week 6 fantasy highlights:
— Owners need to recognize that although Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton cannot be special every week, he is more than capable of performing at an elite level – especially when he has a favorable matchup. The third-year signal-caller did most of his damage over the first three quarters against a listless Minnesota Vikings defense, throwing for 242 yards and three touchdowns while adding 30 yards and another score on the ground.
— A couple of players likely drawing the ire of their owners entering Week 6 finally came through in a big way. With running mate Mike Williams out due to a hamstring, Tampa Bay receiver Vincent Jackson (nine catches, 114 yards and two scores) shredded a leaky Eagles' secondary. Similarly, Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (nine receptions, 97 yards and a TD) tore apart a Carolina Panthers defense that entered the game giving up the second-fewest points per game to the position. Regardless, after two interceptions from quarterback Matt Cassel, Minnesota fans are probably counting the minutes until Josh Freeman is named the starter.
— To steal a tired old line, Houston … we do have a problem. Fantasy owners will probably take no issue with the bottom lines of running back Arian Foster (198 total yards) and wide receiver Andre Johnson (seven catches, 88 yards), but the Texans have become a turnover machine. Backup T.J. Yates took over for injured quarterback Matt Schaub in the third quarter and picked up where he left off, throwing two interceptions. The first of those miscues led to the fifth straight game the Texans have seen an interception returned for a touchdown against them.
— Unlike Houston, the Green Bay Packers overcame adversity on their way to a victory over the Baltimore Ravens, but it may have come at a steep price. Wide receivers James Jones and Randall Cobb were lost to knee injuries, with Cobb potentially suffering the more serious of the two. WR Jordy Nelson (four catches, 113 yards and a TD) predictably excelled in their absence, but owners in need of receiving help may need to get waiver claims ready for Jarrett Boykin – the Packers' fourth receiver – this week.
— Speaking of potential impact fantasy free agents, two Detroit Lions also figure to be hot commodities. Undrafted rookie free agent tight end Joseph Fauria turned all three of his catches into touchdowns while receiver Kris Durham added eight receptions for 83 yards as Calvin Johnson (three catches, 25 yards) continued to be limited by the knee injury that caused him to miss Week 5. QB Matthew Stafford – also Durham's college teammate – lit up a very good Cleveland Browns defense for 248 yards and four touchdowns.
— Taking advantage of an injured Buffalo Bills secondary, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (337 yards passing and three touchdowns) and receiver A.J. Green (six catches, 103 yards and a score) found their connection after a rough patch. Giovani Bernard (100 total yards and a receiving TD) gave his owners a worthwhile fantasy day, but fellow running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis (86 rushing yards) outgained him on the ground for the second straight week, likely further delaying the rookie's possible ascension to a feature-back role.
— Most will remember St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford (117 passing yards and three touchdowns) for the dreadful performance he posted on a Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago, but he has thrown for three scores in three of his six games this season. Bradford still has the feel of a matchup-based quarterback in fantasy and some difficult defenses ahead of him, but he is showing he can deliver when the Rams give him some time in the pocket.

#1 Obama: If GOP Wants Me To Walk the Dog or Wash Their Car, Im Happy to Do It09-17-2012, 07:15 PM
By Fred Lucas
September 17, 2012
(CNSNews.com) President Barack Obama, on the stump in the swing state of Ohio on Monday, said that in working with Republicans to reduce the deficit, he was willing to show more love and even wash their car to get the job done.
While speaking in Cincinnati on Monday, Obama said, The only thing they [Republicans] can do is keep trying to bluff their way through until November, and hope that you wont call them on it. But understand Cincinnati, look, I want to work with them to reduce the deficit. Ive said if the Republicans need more love, if they want me to walk the dog or wash their car, Im happy to do it."
You know, I genuinely believe that most Americans, Democrats or Republicans, they just want us to solve problems, said Obama. So Im ready and willing to work. But I refuse to ask middle-class families to pay over $2,000 more so that millionaires and billionaires can pay less.
Obama has a 4.2 percent lead over his Republican opponent Mitt Romney in Ohio, according to the RealClearPolitics average of all the presidential polls in the state. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll has Obama up by 7 points, while a Rasmussen poll has the president up by just 1 point.

His hole premise of wanting to work with the Republicans is to raise taxes on the rich. As long as he wants to do that, he will never work with the Republicans. It has been his main thing for the past three years. Everything he puts in front of them has 'TAXING THE RICH' in it. No wonder they won't work with him.

In the early 1930s, the vast majority of automobiles in Germany were luxury cars, and the average blue-collar consumer was most likely unable to afford anything more expensive than a motorcycle. Looking to tap into this new, family-oriented market niche, Volkswagen (VW) began developing affordable vehicles to appeal to a wider audience, making its official debut in the automotive industry in 1937. Originally selling for a tidy but affordable sum of around $400, the common citizen could now easily afford the ?luxury"" of enclosed four-wheel transportation.
Over the decades, Volkswagen would produce one of the most recognizable and best selling cars in history, the Beetle. But by the start of the 1970s, the manufacturer would find itself in dire financial straits, overstocked with new models that failed to win over its global base of loyal customers. Marketed as the New Spark to rekindle VW's waning world-wide sales, the Golf was launched at the 1974 Frankfurt Auto Show.
Known as the Rabbit in the U.S. and Canada, the Volkswagen Golf would go on to become the best-selling model in VW's long history and the world's best-selling model of any car, with close to 30 million vehicles built since its inception four decades ago. Manufactured in all sorts of variant designs, from five-door hatchbacks to convertibles and estate wagons, the Volkswagen Golf is easily one of the most popular cars in the world, being named as the European Car of the Year in 1992.
Essentially built and touted as an alternative to the Beetle, the Volkswagen Golf is basically its opposite in terms of vehicular design. The most obvious and distinct feature of the Golf was its sharply-defined body lines as opposed to the swooping, curved metal look of the Beetle. Other features that set it apart was its less-complicated unibody structure, a front-mounted, water-cooling, inline engine that drove its front wheels, and the fact that it was available as a four-door option as well as a hatchback.
With a curb weight of just under 2000 pounds, and an overall length of 12 feet, the Golf helped usher in a new era of highly compact cars with a higher performance threshold. Corner-mounted wheels, made possible because of a fairly wide vehicle base of 94 inches, helped give the Golf a higher degree of interior space in comparison to the competition at the time. Add to this its stellar level of consumer affordability and passenger comfort, and it's no wonder that the Golf more than exceeded VW's expectations.
Arriving in the United States in 1975 and priced at $3,000, when compared against other cars in its class, the Golf provided better speed, enhanced cornering ability, excellent acceleration, and superior mileage capability. Most of these earliest Golf's came equipped with a 115-horsepower, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that was quite powerful with the manual transmission but not to the same degree when paired with the automatic.
The Golf GTI performance model was a genuine hot-hatch, packing VW's 2.8-liter, narrow-angle, six-cylinder, VR6 engine under the hood, making for 172 horsepower. These powertrains made the Golf faster than almost any other affordable small car of the time.
Available in two-door and four-door body styles, the 2012 Volkswagen Golf comes powered by a 170-hp, 2.5-liter, inline, five-cylinder gas engine with 177 lb-ft of torque or a 140-hp, two-liter, TDI clean-diesel engine that pumps out a robust 236 lb-ft of torque. Consumers who opt for the gas-driven engine can select either a five-speed manual transmission or the six-speed Tiptronic automatic, while those choosing the diesel can go with either a six-speed manual or six-speed DSG automatic with Tiptronic. The five-seater accelerates from zero to 60 mph in just over seven seconds with a fuel rating of 23/33 mpg city/highway.
The Golf GTI maxes out at an impressive 270-hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, which will at long last be offered in the U.S. for the first time, thanks to an overwhelmingly-passionate plea on the part of Golf enthusiasts worldwide.
Standard safety and comfort features on all 2012 Volkswagen Golf models include 15-inch steel wheels, keyless entry, cruise control, stability and traction control, anti-lock disc brakes, six cabin airbags, and tire pressure monitoring. The Diesel models come a bit extra, equipped with features such as 17-inch alloy wheels, heated windshield washer nozzles, sport suspension, touch-screen six-disc stereo system SIRUS-ready, floor mats, and a leather steering wheel with matching shift knob.
Known for its spacious interiors, the 2012 Golf offers 12.5 cubic feet of hauling space behind its rear seats and an extra 33.5 cubic feet made available once the rear seats are removed entirely.
Covering the years from 1985 to1992, the second generation of the Volkswagen Golf had a more stylistic version of the previous Golf/Rabbit's basic body design. Power ranged from a 1.6-liter, 52-hp diesel to a two-liter, 131-hp, and 16-valve inline-four as seen in the GTI. Most Golf's from this era had a 1.8-liter four-cylinder. Initially, the 1.8-liter was listed at 85 hp, but it was later re-calibrated for 100-hp output.
1993 to 1999 marked the Golf's third generation, with the introduction of a new turbo charged, direct injection diesel engine. The GTI offered a narrow-angle 2.8-liter VR6, specifically designed for transverse engine installations in front-wheel-drive vehicles for a hefty 200-hp. This made the Volkswagen Golf of 1994 the first time a six-cylinder engine was available in a lower-midsize hatchback.
Introduced in the U.S. in 1999, the fourth generation Golf models were completely new, now with a more solid, mature feel than its predecessors, though the powertrains were offered as largely unchanged at first. The same 115-hp four felt a little overwhelmed power-wise when pulling a fully-loaded vehicle and didn't get very admirable gas mileage. But later models with the two other engine options were both quicker on the road and decidedly more fuel efficient.
Golf TDI (diesels) models sold from 2004 until 2006 were saddled with an updated version of the 1.9-liter that delivered 100 hp. Late in this model's market run, the limited-edition high-performance R32 was offered, sporting a 3.2-liter, 240-hp VR6 with all-wheel drive.

Harold (Hal) W. Lewis (PhD - Systems Science '95, MS SS '87) / Associate Professor & Graduate Program Director for Systems Science, SUNY Binghamton, Department of SSIE
I am associate professor and graduate director for systems science in what is currently called the SSIE Department. Many things have changed since "the old days" but I've worked hard to continue some aspects of what systems science once meant at Binghamton. My specific emphasis is on soft computing. Additionally I am called upon to support the industrial and systems engineering programs mainly by teaching some of the applied mathematics courses. I love teaching. Previously I taught at Fukushima University (1990 - 1998), and worked at IBM (1982 - 1990) and a Japanese company called Kuroi Electric (1977 - 1981).
I completed a BS in mathematics (emphasis on applied) in 1977 when I was 20 years old. I did my graduate study in systems science almost entirely on a part-time basis, finishing my MS in 1987 and completing further coursework while still at IBM, but did not finish my dissertation until I'd been teaching at Fukushima for a few years. I've always enjoyed being mainly a generalist, applying systems thinking and mathematical principles to many diverse subject areas and practical concerns. My studies here seem excellent preparation for someone of my interests and inclinations.

Red Sox principal owner John W. Henry, who early Saturday signed a deal to buy The Boston Globe from the New York Times Co., prevailed over a half-dozen rival bidders for two main reasons: He was rooted in Boston and had plenty of cash.
Henry agreed to pay $70 million for the 141-year-old Globe, its websites, and affiliated properties, the Times Co. said. The deal followed weeks of negotiations that culminated in a marathon session Friday night, with Henry and his lawyers ensconced in his suite at Fenway Park, trading calls and messages with Times Co. officials as the Arizona Diamondbacks edged out the Red Sox.
While he has not yet unveiled his plans for the company, in response to questions from the Globe, Henry said Saturday night that he looked forward to helping the newspaper play its vital role in the city and region.
"Being a part of the leadership of the Globe provides an opportunity to play a significant role with others in this community's present and future. . . .
"I became concerned a number of years ago about the continued viability of our newspapers in Boston. I sat with various publishers and, in studying the challenges newspapers face across the country, I became extremely interested in potential solutions. I'm not sure that anyone has successfully put forward a sustainable financial model for metros given the magnitude and consistency of revenue declines, but if I were going to bet on one it would be The Boston Globe.''
Henry said he would provide more details in the coming days, including information about the team he is assembling for what he called "a community commitment and effort."
In a statement, he addressed the issue of whether his ownership of the paper represents a conflict of interest.
"Now that I have a prospective role in Globe leadership, if I were foolish enough to try to influence Sox coverage by the Globe, I would only succeed in diminishing the value of both great institutions," he said.
Henry is expected to visit the Globe on Monday, according to people briefed on his plans.
"We're delighted to have found a buyer in John Henry, who has strong local roots and a deep appreciation of the importance of these publications to the Greater Boston community," Times Co. chief executive Mark Thompson said in a statement.
In addition to the Globe, Henry will be acquiring the Worcester Telegram & Gazette and its website, the Globe's direct mail business, and a 49 percent interest in the free Metro Boston newspaper. The deal is expected to close in 30 to 60 days.
For Henry, 63, who enjoyed fast success with the Red Sox, winning two World Series within five years of buying the team in 2002, it's an entirely new challenge to be entering the news business. A mild-mannered billionaire who made his fortune in managing funds and trading commodities, he has built a sprawling sports empire that includes the Red Sox and New England Sports Network, as well as the Liverpool soccer club and Roush Fenway Racing, a NASCAR team.
In buying the Globe and its websites, BostonGlobe.com and Boston.com, Henry bested several other bidders, including members of the Taylor family, which sold the Globe to the Times Co. in 1993, and whose forebears actually owned the Red Sox for a period in the early 1900s. His bid amounted to a small fraction of the $1.1 billion the Times Co. paid for the Globe — reflecting the devastating impact of the digital revolution on the traditional newspaper business model.
Other bidders included the owners of the U-T San Diego newspaper and Revolution Capital, a Los Angeles private equity firm that owns a Tampa newspaper. A trio of well-known Boston businessmen — former advertising executive Jack Connors, construction magnate John Fish, and developer Steve Weiner — bid in the final round, and lawyer Shannon Liss-Riordan had submitted an offer that included taking over the Globe's pension liability.
His offer was appealing to the Times Co. because it was cash, unencumbered by financing issues or partners.
Some of the people involved in these bids, as well as their advisers, could resurface as John Henry mulls taking on investors or creating a board to oversee the Globe. While he is paying cash for the company, it's likely that he would consider taking on minority partners in order to reduce his own stake and include other locals in his plans, according to people briefed on the matter.
Connors, Fish, and Weiner, may be in talks to join Henry, according to the people familiar with the plans who were not authorized to speak on the record. Other possible investors include Henry's Red Sox partner Tom Werner and Boston Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca.
A Brookline resident, Henry is a relative newcomer to Boston, here for just a decade. But friends say he is now rooted here, and has established a stable of close associates, including wealthy investors who might be persuaded to join him in the Globe venture.
Known for his numbers savvy in investments and sports, Henry and his colleagues spent the past several weeks digging into the details of the Globe's facilities, finances, and businesses. He toured the Globe's printing operation, dressed in blue jeans, looking on with interest as the newspapers were compiled and moved across the room on machines. He has taken a particular interest in the Globe's Boston.com website and has quizzed executives about the terms and duration of union contracts.
People involved in the process say Henry is formulating ideas on how to boost the Globe's advertising revenues — the area of greatest challenge for newspapers across the country. He may seek a buyer for the Worcester T&G, and he, like other bidders, is considering the possibility of selling the Globe's plant on Morrissey Boulevard, according to people familiar with his plans.
The Times Co. bought the Worcester T&G for $295 million in 1999. The newspaper's publisher, Bruce Gaultney, declined to comment Saturday night.
Public officials and business people across Boston expressed optimism about the deal Saturday, even as the marriage of a newspaper to a sports team it covers spurred debate in journalism circles and among Globe readers about the importance of unfettered coverage.
Henry has yet to fully address issues of news coverage beyond his statement, but Globe editor Brian McGrory had said after the agreement was reached that, "We have no plans whatsoever to change our Red Sox coverage specifically, or our sports coverage in general, nor will we be asked.''
The shoe was on the other foot in recent years when the Times Co. owned 17.5 percent of the Red Sox, something the Globe disclosed in virtually every story or column mentioning the team.
It was the Times Co.'s success in its Red Sox investment that led, in part, to its deal to sell the newspaper and its affiliates to the Sox owner. The Globe's parent tripled its $75 million investment in the Red Sox and, along the way, developed a strong relationship with Henry.
His was not the highest bid for the Globe, according to people involved in the process. But his offer was appealing to the Times Co. because it was cash, unencumbered by financing issues or a bevy of investment partners. One executive working for the Times Co. said the key was who was best able to get the financing together and close the deal relatively quickly.
Henry also was not the highest bidder for the Red Sox, according to press reports at the time.
Though the Times Co. is selling the Globe for far less than what it paid for the paper when the business was highly profitable and the Globe fetched a record price, it likely at least broke even on the investment, according to several former Globe executives familiar with the finances. That's because the Times Co. was able to withdraw a large stream of cash from the Globe during its high-earning years in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Globe publisher Christopher Mayer thanked the Times Co. for its stewardship in a note to the staff Saturday and said he looked forward to working with Henry.
"I have no doubt that we will turn our full attention to moving our business forward and fulfilling our enduring mission: to be a voice for New England through our award-winning journalism across all mediums and platforms,'' Mayer said.
In a statement, the Globe's largest union, the Boston Newspaper Guild, representing more than 500 reporters, photographers, and other employees, congratulated Henry for his purchase of the Globe: "We welcome the opportunity to collaborate and innovate with him and his team. We look forward to a bright future as we strengthen and grow the reach and impact of the Globe in the communities it serves."Beth Healy can be reached at email@example.com.
This story has been updated with a statement from John Henry on whether his ownership of the newspaper would be a conflict of interest.

We, the female people of the United States, would like to thank President Obama, and not just because his inaugural speech Monday was one of the shortest in history — much as we appreciate succinctness in our busy, multitasking, parent-spouse-friend-career lives.
Not just because he addressed the problem of women's pay inequality for the first time in any inaugural speech, saying, "Our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts."
Not just because he called to our attention — for only the second time in an inaugural speech; the first time was by President Clinton in 1997 — the fact that girls as well as boys aspire to success.
TRANSCRIPT: President Obama's second inauguration speech
Not even just because he took that most revered of Americanisms, that "all men are created equal," and set it straight: "We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still."

|Stunner and Pokello
Urban groover, Stunner's sex tape he shot at his Avondale home with his girlfriend Pokello Nare has been leaked on the internet. Stunner, real name, Desmond Chideme, initially denied the existence of the tape and pictures. "My man I know nothing about any pictures; I have never taken pictures in the bedroom and I am in fact surprised about what you are talking about.
"I haven't seen the pictures and if ever they exist well I don't know who leaked it. I work with children and I wouldn't want them to see any images of that sort," said Stunner. He later said :"Is that how you operate, getting into my private life influencing people to break into my house and take my pictures? "Ndomashandiro acho here iwayo gen'a?" fumed Stunner. The tape could have been leaked by Pokello's friend who had a beef with her over a previous UK-based boyfriend. The clip and photos were taken through an iPhone. The pSocialite Pokello who is known her for addiction to shoes owns a shoe shop at Sam Levy's Village in Harare and was featured in local news for owning over 200 pairs of shoes. The self confessed shoe addict was once in the South Africa tabloids when SABC1 sports presenter Lindani Mbense did not marry her, after allegedly proposing.
The 26-year-old mother of one owns over 200 pairs of designer heels and believes in fashion particularly shoes and it is her intention to bring it to Zimbabwe. Her love for shoes has led her to opening a shop named Pokello's Addicted To Shoes at the Sam Levy's Village in Borrowdale. In an interview with the Daily News on Sunday Pokello highlighted that her love for shoes inspired her to open the shoe shop. "Fashion in America and England is always ahead. Even in African countries like South Africa and Nigeria, the trends are always steps ahead of us. I feel that we are too behind as Zimbabwean women and I intend to change that," she said. "I am not sure why though but we are behind. We need to up our own standards, get up there and flow with the rest of the women in the world of fashion," said Pokello.
Pokello, a self-confessed shoe addict said she does not own a pair of flat shoes. "It is funny but I do not have a pair of flats. I do not dress for comfort but I dress for show. When I am home, say if I want to go to the grocery store, I pick up whoever's flat shoes I see at the door," she said. She buys seven pairs of shoes each month and says that is a major improvement on her quest to cut back.
"I used to by 10 pairs. I can safely say that I am reducing my shoe buying. I spend about US$5 000 on shoes per month." She was not embarrassed to admit that she was addicted to buying shoes, stating it as a family thing. "The obsession started when I was young. Growing up, I loved to dress up and of course my mother influenced me. Whatever I own, she owns times three. That is why I say it is a family thing. Even my eight year old son loves shoes, he is more into sneakers," said Pokello. H METRO

First off I'm a big fan of Waldorf and I've been thinking a lot about picking up a Blofeld as my next synth. I've also really enjoyed my Micro Q so far and have wanted the full fledged Q for a while. Additionally I've wanted to get into wavetables as well via the Microwave. All three of these synths I really enjoy the sounds I've heard from them (Q, Microwave, Blofeld) but I'm feeling a little divided.
I'm wondering how the Blofeld sizes up against the older generation of Q and Microwaves. From what I have read it seems the Blofeld really covers both aspects of being a VA with wavetable capabilities. It seems so versatile and at its price point I can't complain.
The more I look at the Q and MW it seems the only benefit is a knobby interface. If that's the case I'll take a much more robust sound engine with a few less knobs any day.
Thoughts? Any input is appreciated.
