Editors' note: Motorola's Xoom tablet was originally released in February 2011 as the first tablet to run Google's tablet-optimized Android 3.0 software. Since that time, it has undergone numerous software updates, as well as a 4G hardware update. Nonetheless, we have lowered the Xoom's rating to reflect the changes in the increasingly competitive tablet market. The body of this review, however, has not been changed since its original publish date and should not be relied on as an accurate representation of today's Motorola Xoom experience. The Xoom can now be upgraded to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Check the Ice Cream Sandwich section of the Asus Transformer Prime review for details on the changes ICS brings. For our most up-to-date ranking of top tablets, visit CNET's Best 5 tablets page.
The Motorola Xoom tablet is easily the best competition Apple's iPad has ever seen. Sporting a 10.1-inch screen, front and rear cameras, HDMI output, a dual-core processor, and Google's tablet-optimized version of Android, the Xoom is entering the tablet wars with guns blazing.
Priced at $800 off-contract or $600 with a two-year commitment from Verizon, the Xoom isn't out to win frugal customers. Instead, Motorola is taking the approach used with its successful line of Droid smartphones: emphasizing the device's horsepower and the many capabilities not found on its Apple counterpart.
To this end, the Xoom's spec sheet is an all-star cast of dual-core processors, multimegapixel cameras, expansion slots, and maxed-out RAM. Combine the hardware with Motorola's exclusive access to Google's long-awaited Android Honeycomb operating system, and you have one of the most talked-about tablets of 2011.
Does the reality of the Xoom match up with the hype? Let's dive in and see what's working and what could be better.
Design and hardware features
With a 10.1-inch screen, you'd think Xoom would feel larger than the 9.8-inch screen-wielding iPad, but it actually comes off as slightly smaller. As tablets go, the Xoom carries its weight in its hips, stretching its screen area out to a more wide-screen-worthy 1,280x800-pixel WXGA aspect ratio.
This wider screen, coupled with the landscape-oriented positioning of the Motorola and Verizon logos, makes the Xoom a natural fit for use in a landscape view. This is fundamentally different from the original iPad, which prescribes a portrait orientation with its placement of the Home button. Of course, either device will reorient its apps and home screens for however you prefer to hold it, but nonetheless, the Xoom is ostensibly made for landscape view, whereas the iPad's design is naturally geared for portrait.
Motorola also slims the total device size down by running a 0.5-inch bezel around the screen, instead of the 0.75-inch bezel on the iPad. It's a small yet meaningful difference in a number of ways. The bad news is that the slimmer bezel offers less area for your thumbs to grip the screen, making it less comfortable to hold with one hand. And although the Xoom is only a tenth of a pound heavier than the original iPad, the smaller bezel and wider form of the Xoom make it noticeably heavier to hold in one hand. On the upside, when holding the Xoom in portrait, the thin bezel makes it easy to get your thumbs over the screen, making thumb-typing much less awkward than on the iPad.
The Xoom's keyboard, in general, deserves a round of applause. With its ample size and well-spaced virtual keys, typing performance is excellent in both landscape and portrait orientations. The keyboard supports multitouch for speedy typing, dedicated tab and emoticon keys, and a dedicated button to quickly jump you into keyboard settings. The keys are slightly smaller and more rectangular than the iPad's, but the overall performance is both swift and accurate.
On the bottom of the Xoom you'll find connections for Micro-USB, Micro-HDMI, a socket for the included power adapter, and a pinhole microphone. Don't let the HDMI port fool you, though. In order for us to get video out from the Xoom, we first had to dock it in Motorola's $129 HD speaker dock. Once we did, though, the entire Honeycomb experience was mirrored on our TV, allowing apps like YouTube and Maps some room to show off.
Up on the top edge you'll find a standard headphone jack packed conspicuously in the middle and a removable door to its left that conceals the microSD expansion port and a place for a 4G SIM card, both of which were disabled at launch. Motorola is promising microSD card support (up to 32GB) shortly after the product launch, enabled by an over-the-air update. Support for Verizon's 4G network is also forthcoming, though later in 2011, and not without submitting your Xoom to an authorized dealer for a hardware update.
Finally, there's the back of the Xoom, which includes a 5-megapixel camera and dual-LED flash, a stereo pair of speakers, and a sleep/wake button. Again, the layout of all these features somewhat dictates that you hold the device in landscape view, less you risk obscuring the camera with your hand. Camera quality is about what we'd expect from any high-end smartphone: good, but not point-and-shoot quality, and easily ruined by fingerprints on the lens. Video quality is also good, recording up to 720p. In spite of its capabilities, the Xoom makes for a comically large camera or camcorder by today's standards. We felt a bit silly snapping photos in public, holding the Xoom up in the air like Moses on the mountain. Still, it's a great capability to have, and one which Apple has received considerable flack for leaving off the original iPad.
A front-facing 2-megapixel camera is also included on the Xoom, geared for video chat. We tested the camera using the included Google Talk app, and it worked without a hitch over both Wi-Fi and Verizon's 3G data connection.
The Xoom has plenty of features under the hood, as well. For horsepower, you have a 1GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM at its disposal. You really notice it, too. System performance purrs along, even with multiple browser tabs open, Pandora playing in the background, and e-mail notifications popping up.
Other features of the Xoom are par for the course these days. There's Bluetooth 2.1 support for audio and peripheral support (including Bluetooth keyboards). The Wi-Fi antenna supports bands up to 802.11n. Embedded sensors for screen brightness, accelerometer, and gyroscope are all onboard. There's even a barometer sensor inside, though no apps yet to support it.

MLB Notebook: Lynn a big first-half winner
After a seven-game debut season with the Cardinals in 1952, left-hander Harvey Haddix won 20 games in '53, and then another 18 in '54.
In 1953, the 27-year-old Haddix entered the All-Star break tied for fifth in the National League in victories, with 10. And the following year, he was tied with the Giants' Johnny Antonelli for the league lead with 13 wins when the All-Star Game was played.
After a seven-game debut season with the Cardinals in 1952, left-hander Harvey Haddix won 20 games in '53, and then another 18 in '54.
In 1953, the 27-year-old Haddix entered the All-Star break tied for fifth in the National League in victories, with 10. And the following year, he was tied with the Giants' Johnny Antonelli for the league lead with 13 wins when the All-Star Game was played.
While the southpaw would never again enter the All-Star break with double-digit victories, Haddix had been the only Cardinals pitcher to have at least 10 wins by the All-Star break in two of his first three seasons -- until Lance Lynn.
Thursday, Lynn allowed one run in six innings and matched the Nationals' Jordan Zimmermann and teammate Adam Wainwright for the league lead in wins (10), as the Cardinals topped the Cubs, 6-1. With his 11 victories at the All-Star break last year, Lynn's 21 first-half victories over the past two seasons are the most in the Majors, with Max Scherzer and R.A. Dickey tied for the second most (18).
This is the 12th time the Cardinals have had at least two pitchers reach 10 wins before the All-Star break. Mark Mulder, Matt Morris and Chris Carpenter were the most recent to do it, in 2005.
Angels rally to dethrone King
The Angels collected 17 hits (15 singles and a pair of home runs) and defeated the Mariners, 10-9.
The Angels entered the bottom of the third down, 7-0, to Felix Hernandez, who was charged with 12 hits and seven runs. It was the fourth time in his career Hernandez had finished an outing with at least 12 hits and seven runs allowed, with the most recent previous occurrence having taken place on Oct. 1, 2012, also against the Angels.
The seven-run deficit was the largest the Angels had overcome in a win since May 31, 2009, when they found themselves down, 8-1, to the Mariners before going on to win, 9-8.
The Angels have twice had at least 15 singles in a game this season, with both of the efforts coming against the Mariners (the other took place on Monday). Before this month, they hadn't had such a game against Seattle since 1996.
Angels star Mike Trout was 4-for-4 with a walk, a run and a stolen base. Through his first 73 games in 2012, Trout had a .354/.407/.596 slash line with 38 extra-base hits and 31 steals. Through 73 games this year, Trout has a .317/.395/.556 line with 40 extra-base hits, and he has swiped 16 bags.
Zimmermann notches 10th win
Zimmermann allowed one unearned run in eight innings and improved to 10-3, as the Nationals defeated the Rockies, 5-1.
Zimmermann is the 20th pitcher in Expos/Nationals history (and the second in as many years) to have at least 10 victories before the All-Star break. His current 2.26 ERA ranks as the fifth lowest among this group of 20. Pedro Martinez, who had 10 wins at the break for the Expos in 1997, had the lowest ERA, at 1.74.
In 2012, Nats lefty Gio Gonzalez finished the first half with a 12-3 record to become the first pitcher for the franchise since Livan Hernandez in '05 to win 10 before the break.
Oswalt's K's not enough in Rox debut
Making his season (and team) debut, Rockies right-hander Roy Oswalt fanned 11 in five innings, but he also allowed four runs and took the loss.
Oswalt was the 17th pitcher since 1916 to have at least 11 K's in a stint lasting no more than five innings. More than one-third of those occurrences have taken place since the beginning of the 2011 season. With Oswalt suffering the loss, the combined record of the 17 pitchers is 4-5.
Of the 17 pitchers in this group, Oswalt is the second to issue no walks. Rick Ankiel was the first. On June 4, 2000, the St. Louis southpaw allowed two runs on five hits in five innings with 11 K's, and he got a no-decision in a 3-2 loss to the Indians.
Oswalt is the first Rockies pitcher with at least 11 strikeouts since Jhoulys Chacin fanned 12 on June 27, 2010.
Alvarez drives in five
Pedro Alvarez drove in all five of the Pirates' runs, as Pittsburgh defeated Cincinnati, 5-3.
Alvarez has five games with at least five RBIs, with a high of six. The five tie him for the second most for any Pirates player (since 1916) through his first 383 games. Ralph Kiner had six, while Wally Westlake and Aramis Ramirez each had five.
Alvarez's five since the start of the 2010 season tie him for the third most in the Majors. Adam Dunn (eight) and Jose Bautista (six) are at the top of the list, with Alvarez tied with Robinson Cano, Carlos Gonzalez, Carlos Quentin and Mark Teixeira.
Here and there
• The Twins homered four times in beating the White Sox, 8-4, at Target Field. Minnesota has hit four home runs in a home game three times this season through 36 home games. From 2010 (the year Target Field opened) through '12, the Twins had one four-homer game in 243 contests at the park.
• Chicago's Jesse Crain pitched a scoreless seventh inning vs. the Twins, extending his streak of scoreless appearances to a new team record of 28. Crain had been tied with J.J. Putz, whose 27-game streak occurred in 2010. During Crain's streak, he has thrown 28 innings, allowed 18 hits and seven walks, and he has fanned 37. For the season, Crain owns a 0.55 ERA in 32 2/3 innings.
• The Rangers' Ian Kinsler collected his 161st career stolen base, tying Bump Wills for the franchise record. Kinsler, who also has 150 home runs, is one of 16 players in history with at least 150 homers and 150 steals through his first eight seasons (now in his age-31 season, he is the oldest of the group). Kinsler is one of seven active players on the list, joining Alex Rodriguez, Alfonso Soriano, David Wright, Carlos Beltran, Matt Kemp and Hanley Ramirez.
• In the Dodgers' 6-3 loss to the Padres, Yasiel Puig hit his sixth home run. Dating back to 1916, Puig's six home runs through his first 16 games are the second most for a Dodgers player, behind the seven hit by Kemp.

Water is essential to balanced health. The body relies on it for digestion, cooling, elimination, and the circulation of nutrients to every cell. Low-level dehydration is commonplace, and many people are unaware when this occurs since they do not feel thirsty. So drink up! Eight big glasses of clear pure water a day is a good recommendation to follow. Don't assume that you are getting enough water from the foods you eat and the beverages you consume. Many water-based beverages, like coffee and soft drinks, contain caffeine and sugar, which actually have a dehydrating effect. More water is required to aid in their digestion and metabolism.
Unless your system is flushed regularly from the inside out, toxins from food and air will accumulate in fat cells (everyone has them), muscles, and joints, causing pain and stiffness and various health problems. Most kidney stones, for instance, consist of urates, phosphates, oxalates, and other wastes that have crystallized from urine that was too concentrated to be excreted as dissolved solids. To protect against this kind of accretion, drink lots of water. Constipation and headaches are often the result of insufficient water in your system. If your feces are hard and small, and sink rather than float, this may also indicate that there is not enough water in your diet.
Drinking plenty of water also aids in maintaining your ideal weight, since water provides oral gratification and gives you a temporary sense of fullness. Some types of overeating may be the body's way of compensating for the lack of water it craves.
Many urban water supplies contain industrial pollutants such as lead, asbestos, and mercury, as well as agricultural chemical pollutants from aquifer contamination and surface water runoff. These accumulate in the body over time. Consider using bottled spring water that has been tested by an independent laboratory (call or write the bottling company), or attaching a high-quality filter to your spigot.
Other Ways to Use Water for Better Health
Now that you consider water to be a necessary part of your diet and a source of inner cleansing, look at some of the ways that it can refresh, cleanse, and heal you from without.
Go get yourself a big glass of water right now. Drink it slowly and experience it with all your senses.

Transparency Market Research Report Add "Personal and Entry Level Storage (PELS) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019" to its database.
Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/28/2013 -- According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Personal and Entry Level Storage (PELS) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019," the global PELS market is expected to reach a value of USD 39.49 billion by 2019, growing at a CAGR of 35.1% from 2013 to 2019. Increase in the end-user data due to growing use of internet is the major factor responsible for the growth of this market, globally. Asia Pacific was the largest contributor in PELS market and accounted for a share of 42.5% in 2012. Growing awareness towards data backup and data storage and decrease in the average selling prices of data storage products have added to the growing demand for storage products.
Browse the full report with complete TOC at http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/personal-entry-level-storage.html
Among different product categories, hard disk drives (HDDs) held the largest share of 32.4% in 2012 followed by solid state drives (SSDs) in 2012. Continuous rise in the online content, increase in the HDD storage capacity and increase in social media and corporate information that needs to be stored are some important factors driving the demand for HDDs globally. However, moderate life expectancy of HDDs (around 3-5 years) and decreasing prices of SSDs would limit the market for HDDs in upcoming years. Cloud based storage is the fastest growing segment and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 48.6% during the forecast period from 2013 to 2019 and reach a market size of USD 16.62 billion by 2019. A major reason for the growing popularity of cloud storage is that there is no requirement of storage hardware at user's end, which reduces the overall cost for storing data.
NAS is the largest technology segment that held a share of around 27% in 2012 followed by DAS with 21% share in 2012. Demand for NAS is primarily driven by increase in the home and small business networks and growing demand for data backup and archiving. NAS technology reduces the requirement of separate storage hardware as single storage device is shared along the network with high storage capacity.
Media and entertainment is the largest end user industry for PELS which was valued at USD 1.33 billion in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 37.8% during the forecast period. Massive adoption of smartphones and tablet PCs has enabled generation and transmission of digital content and thus resulted in increased demand for storage architectures.
In terms of geographical regions, Asia Pacific represents largest market for PELS and is expected to reach USD 19.47 billion by 2019. Large number of entry level manufacturing and process industries in the region has resulted in exponential growth of data in turn creating demand for data storage devices. Huge HDD industry in the region due to the presence of leading HDD manufacturers namely Western Digital, Seagate, and Toshiba is equally supporting the growth of PELS market.
The global PELS market is dominated by EMC Corporation which held a share of 30% in 2012 followed by Hitachi Data Systems. Other important players in the global PELS market include IBM Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company, NetApp Inc, and others.

NFC West:
1st. 49ers: 11-5 lose in the 2nd round of the playoffs.
2nd. Seahawks 8-8
3rd. Cards 7-9
4th. Rams 5-11
That's just a sample, I'd like to wait until we get a little closer to the season to submit my predictions.
Maybe you get one point for every division standing you get correct, 1 point for every record, 1 point for every play off prediction - winner and looser so If I had the 9ers getting beat by the Vikings and that's what happened then it'd go down as 2 points. An extra point for the conference championships and 3 extra points for the SB winner... what do you guys think? We'd still do the pick ums of course - this would just be strictly preseason predictions.
Thats cool for me.

I love text files. Unlike an MS Word document, text files contain no formatting, which makes them smaller, easier to search and faster to open. They commonly have a file extension of .txt or .log. (Click here to show file extensions on your system.) I use text files all the time. For writing, for lists, links and reminders, for activity logs, and on rare occasions, for programming. I create them, search for them, manipulate them and play with them. While Windows does allow for text files, it sort of treats them like neglected step children, used mostly for batch files (small programs), log files and ReadMe files. Windows prefers to think about proprietary files, like Word and Excel documents. File search in Windows 7 will only look in approved directories. Well, I enter all my articles in a text editor (not a Word Processor). I save files in funny places and I search for them often. I needed better tools than Windows offered and I found them. Most are small, brilliant and portable, (no-install, just unzip and use, with no menu items or registry changes). Any one of these could lighten your workload. So jump right in and give one a try. You'll find help pages on most of them. At the very least, install Win32pad and Everything file finder, both suitable for newbies. The following are listed in order of increasing geekiness.
1. Win32pad http://www.gena01.com/win32pad/download.shtml
Win32pad is a must-have replacement for the crippled Windows text editor, Notepad. Killer features include: a) full compatibility with Notepad; b) Exit on Esc; c) Auto-indent; d) highlighted, clickable links on well-formed URLs, like http:// and file:// ; and e) File Change alert (when another program modifies an open file, aka Dirty File notification).
2. Everything http://www.voidtools.com/
Everything is a file finder. Search Google for "everything" and you will find the coolest file finder in the world. Everything, by VoidTools, offers AJAX-like find capacity. (Search results populate down as you type.) But unlike the Find box in the Windows Start menu, Everything can find every single occurrence of files on your computer. There are options to include or exclude certain files, file types or whole folders. Search Results include: Name, Path, Size, Date Modified. No one who uses it can ever go back to plain old Windows Search.
3. BareGrep http://www.baremetalsoft.com/
Baregrep lets you search inside all your files for a word or phrase found inside any of them. It then returns not only the filenames, but also shows you the word in context of each line in which it was found. Thus you see how many times that word showed up in each document. While this works best for text files, it works adequately for Word documents if you just disregard the formatting characters found at the beginning of each search result line. This makes it easy to find stuff when you don't remember what a file is called. You can think of BareGrep as the Everything tool for looking inside of files for words and phrases.
While Windows offers something similar in its Search box, you have to open every file it offers to see how the phrase shows up in the context of the file. With BareGrep, it's right there in the Results panel. But what makes it amazing is that it allows you to search on powerful text patterns called Regular Expressions (RegEx). With them, you can search for all lines in all files that contain, for example, a date in any format (12/02/99, 99.12.02, 2 December 1999, or 2 Dec 1999). From the Search results, you can double click on any line to open the source file. While visiting their site, be sure to click on Regex Reference, or learn about Regular Expressions online. Unbelievably useful! (For geeks, this is a GUI version of the grep command.)
BareGrep TIP: While the configuration settings are not sticky (remembered in next session), you can set some command line options in a Windows shortcut to the program, things like default directory. For you geeks, here's the Target field of my BareGrep shortcut: "D:\Program Files\Util\baregrep.exe" -i -d D:\ " a " *.txt This says to launch BareGrep with Ignore Case, Default Folder of D:\, Files type of *.txt and default Text search of " a ". As I type in new text, it automatically begins to search.
4. xPlorer2 http://zabkat.com/x2lite.htm
xPlorer2 is a dual-pane, multi-tab file manager to replace the more confusing Windows Explorer. It's a joy to use and feature-rich. I normally keep two panes open, with 3-5 tabs each. While the Lite version uses the Windows Search command by default, you can change that in Advanced Options or use the better Find utility that comes in the Pro version. There is extensive Help, including great screencasts. A file manager is used to view and play with your files. You can run program installers that you have downloaded or copy files from one folder to another. Or you can rename and move the file attachments from an email that were stored in your Download folder.
xPlorer2 TIP: Check the option in Help / How do I? to see tutorials, but be sure to uncheck it when done. When you click on Help / Contents, you get prompted to download the PDF Help file, xplorer² PDF manual. Unzip it and place it in the program directory of xPlorer2. Unfortunately, the download page for the xplorer2 Help file is confusing. Be sure to click on the top right Download link. Configuration TIP: Be sure to check the following: Tools / Options / Window / Tree / Keep Synchronized with folder in active view pane. For a simpler file manager, more like Windows Explorer in XP, you might prefer CubicExplorer, a nice single-pane file manager with tabs. I found some of the configurations to be confusing. But it's real easy to use. And the tabs are great.
5. PNotes http://pnotes.sourceforge.net/index.php
Ever need to write down a quick note while working on other things? PNotes is a sticky note utility, allowing you to create lots of notes on your screen, which can later be dismissed or saved at TXT or RTF files. You can even launch timed reminder notes. I use this program to pop up at regular intervals (15 min) to ask me, "What are you working on? Is there a higher priority?". My answer goes into my ActivityLog.txt file. I open the file directly from the note by double clicking on the space that follows this line file://D:\dat\ActivityLog.txt. You can set this file to anything you want, as long as there are no spaces in the filepath. Clickable http:// and file:// links (like those in Win32pad) are great in timed reminder notes. Alternatively you could use Stickies which is much like Pnotes.
6. TyperTask http://www.vtaskstudio.com/support.php
TyperTask is a portable*, tiny (53k) "text expander" utility, to replace repetitive cut and pastes. It works like AutoCorrect or AutoText in MS Word. But it works in every browser, text editor and text box in Windows. The replacement text is triggered by assignment to either configurable keywords or hotkeys. So, you would set a keyword to autoexpand into some block of plain text, such as a signature line in an email. It comes with an adequate Help file. Configuring it is a snap. Alternatively, you might like HotkeyP HotkeyP is a tiny, portable hotkey manager. Assign a keyboard shortcut or mouse shortcut to any executable file, block of text, document, folder or web page. Harder to configure with poor help file, but worth it. I set my Right-Left mouse clicks (rocker action) to go Back in any browser. And Left-Right to go Forward.
TyperTask TIP: make sure you choose unique keywords, ones you don't normally use while typing. TyperTask compares to much larger progams, like PhraseExpress (4 mb) and ActiveWords (22 mb) which have the added feature of saving formatting. *TyperTask TIP: As a "portable application," you will need to unzip this file folder into some trusted place, like a newly created folder called Utils. Create Utils under the Programs folder and unzip this file into there, resulting in this: C:\program files\Utils\TyperTask
Note: A regular (non-portable) program comes with its own installer, which when run, puts the files in the correct folder and places entries into the Start menu and registry. A portable program can be installed onto a USB or external drive, which can then be used on any machine. Or it can be put into any folder of your computer. It makes no changes to the system registry.
7. Keynote NF http://code.google.com/p/keynote-nf/
Keynote NF is the evolution of Tranglos Keynote (by Marek Jedlinski), with New Features. It's a hierarchical note taking utility with RTF formatting, much like an editor. It's amazing for those who think in hierarchies. Killer features include: a) Tie any note to an external txt file. b) Clipboard Capture feature that, when enabled, auto appends to the active note every single time you copy something to the clipboard with Ctrl-C, without ever having to change apps and hit Paste. It's great for copying lots of text clips or quotes from web pages. For a bit simpler interface, try TreePad Lite Or you might prefer a webapp for this, like EverNote.com but it's slower.
8. Notepad2 http://code.google.com/p/notepad2-mod/
Notepad2 is another Notepad replacement, available in several different flavors, but geared more towards programmers. This version includes these options: Exit on Esc, File Change Notification and Bookmarks (for jumping back and forth to different locations in the file). For programmers it includes: Syntax Highlighting (color coded keywords in program files), Code-Folding, Highlight Current Line, View Line numbers and Regular Expression search. Plus it will highlight all occurrences of any selected phrase. I love that. Unfortunately, it does not support clickable URLs. That would be a deal breaker, unless I happen to need the bookmarks, which are fun. Choose the first download (.exe) for a regular Windows installer, or use the .zip file for a portable, hand install. (Drop it in your Utils directory and create a shortcut to it.) Then spend some time configuring the Settings and View menus.
9. Notepad++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Notepad++ is a great programmers editor, but you don't need to be a programmer to benefit from it. While it does make writing computer code a joy (compared to Notepad), writers will appreciate its many features: a) MDI tabbed editor for multiple documents and session management; b) Regular Expression (RegEx) Search & Replace; c) Select any word and all occurrences of that word are highlighted; and d) Column Mode Select allows for Block Cut & Paste. Say you want to cut all the http:// off the front of each line in the file. Or paste a preface to each line, all at once. Hard to explain without seeing it. There are countless text manipulation commands, like Convert Case and Join Lines, and lots of Plugins. And the program is in constant development. Alternatively you might like PSPad, another great programmers editor.
10. Programmer's Notepad http://www.pnotepad.org/
Programmer's Notepad is an adequate editor for programming. But it is great for those who want to write notes and articles in a text editor, rather than a word processor like MS Word. Features: a) MDI tabbed editor; b) grep-like feature of showing all the lines in the active file that contain a text string; and c) remembers all files that were loaded in last session.
11. TextView http://www.flos-freeware.ch/archive.html
TextView is a great text file viewer. Nice when you just need to quickly peek inside lots of text files. You can page through a number of files with a single click at a time, one after the other. With another click, you can launch the default editor for the active file (in my case, Win32pad). It is a two-pane viewer. In the left pane is a list of files in the current directory. In the right pane, is the contents of the file you clicked on, looking much like it would in an editor. The benefit is you don't have to open and close all those files when you are just looking for something. And there is no risk of making any changes to the file. It also allows for Exit on Esc key, one of my favorite features. Plus it's small and portable.
12. WinMerge 2.12.4 http://winmerge.org/
WinMerge is "Text Diff engine." When you need to know if two files are identical, you could use the COMP command-line utility that comes with Windows. But when you actually need to see what has changed, say between two versions, you need a strong file compare utility for Text Differences. WinMerge is a two-pane file viewer, with one file in each pane. This utility allows you to compare two versions of a document, in order to see the differences. It will show line by line comparisons, with different color fonts showing the differences. Includes option Browse the file directory for each file, or Drag & Drop the filename and path from Windows Explorer. And allows for Esc to Exit the program. Alternatively you might like the Text Diff feature in PSPad, another excellent programmer's editor.
Bonus Section: Not exactly text utilities but very useful.
* Greenshot screen capture http://sourceforge.net/projects/greenshot/
Greenshot is a fabulous screen capture utility, allowing you to select the area of the screen you want, and add text, arrows, highlighter, obfuscater, all before you even save the file. Even the Help file is excellent. Give it a quick read. Or hit PrntScreen and Drag to select and play. The download also comes as an Installer or a portable zip version. I suspect that even the zip file install modifies the registry some, as it adds a hook to PrntScreen. Small at 1mb and well designed. All my favorite things. If I were to create a screen capture program from scratch, this is how I'd do it. Perfect for those who write tutorials. But for faster auto-save of lots of screenshots, you might prefer MWSnap.exe
* KeePass http://keepass.info/download.html
Some folks keep their passwords in text files, some on scraps of paper, neither of which is very secure. KeePass is a popular password database that sits on your PC. Save all your passwords in a single password protected, encrypted database file. Also allows for some automated logins and auto insert of key text, like Username and Password on web forms. Easy to use (except for the automation) and allows you to "Export to text file." Or you might prefer the webapp LastPass.com for saving your passwords "in the cloud," meaning online.
Text files, they aren't just for geeks anymore. Or maybe you're geekier than you think. Every one of these makes far more sense when you see a screenshot of the utility. So feel free to visit each site. Best of all, every one is FREE. What are some of your favorite text utilities?

Teacup Pigs: Loving Tiny Creatures
Teacup pigs are tiny forms of big farm pigs and they are much smaller in size. They have a very mini structure in the beginning of their lives and grow eventually to the weight of maximum 100 pounds. These pigs get maximum size as the mid-sized dog and pet lovers like them for domestic ease to keep them at home.
Small size is the biggest advantage for these tiny creatures. It is essential to look for advantages for these pets. These animals don't have furs on their body and their hairs are similar to human beings. These eliminate the allergy issues and also, your home will remain clean from the sticky hair of these animals. You can own a pig instead of cats and dogs, if you are interested to keep your home hygienic. The reason is that these animals learn toilet training techniques very soon. They can get every training very easily. The lifespan of these animals is up to 20 years and it is much more than the age of cats and dogs. Miniature pig owners have to take care of them intensely during the beginning years and as they grow, there will be least troubles caused to you.You can find teacup pig information and useful advice on selecting the perfect teacup pig for your family. We have some of the world's smallest. We offer Financing.
Teacup pigs need their personalized zone for their safety. They are like the small children having an urge to explore everything and hence, you have to keep them away from your refrigerator, clothes or other things at home. Their bedding should have a bowl of water and meals (if you are working and leave them at home). These smart creatures can learn different tricks with ease. They love to get rewarded and you can keep them easily at home with an intention to enjoy. Keep a track of their vaccinations and conduct various health checkup sessions for them to avoid any problematic issues later on.

Those looking for outdoor fun at Goessel Harvest Festival Saturday may have missed the boat as most planned activities for the afternoon and evening were moved indoors to Goessel Elementary School because of cold temperatures. However, those who bundled up and caught the remote control plane show west of Voth Field behind Goessel High School saw airplanes, gliders, and helicopters performing aerial acrobats at heights up to 500 feet and lighted displays after dark.
Members of the Newton Area Radio Control Club (NARCC), which includes three flyers from Goessel — Dan Bergen, Norman Schmidt, and Don Hiebert — put on an aerial display of high flying tricks and maneuvers, as much for their own enjoyment as any.
"I've done this since I was 14-years-old," said George Moland of Hesston. "Both of my sons, now grown, also fly, and any decent day we're out flying. It's just fun. You have to love aviation and the thought of getting something off the ground."
Bergen agreed that a love of aviation was necessary for someone to take up radio control flying, as well as a sense of humor.
"You have to be intrigued by flight," he said. "You also have to be able stay away from the trees, and if you can't, be able to crash a lot of money and walk away from it without getting all bent out of shape."
After dark, the aviation enthusiasts lit up the sky with their planes equipped with different colored lights.
"Just last weekend in Newton we had the local sheriff come by to see what was going on," Moland said. "Someone had reported strange lights in the sky. If you don't know what it is, someone might think it's a UFO."
Moland's son, Tim, said he liked to use lights on his planes so when they went up to 500 feet he could still see them.
"Sometimes they get so high you lose them in the atmosphere," he said. "The lights help keep track of them."
Meanwhile at the elementary school, a variety of food and entertainment kept hands busy and toes tapping. The Goessel FFA served a pulled pork meal with homemade pie, and Goessel FCCLA members mixed and fried regular and pumpkin flavored funnel cakes in the lunchroom. Jammin' Biscuits, a local band, played bluegrass and country favorites for a small crowd in the gymnasium. A petting zoo and other children's activities took place earlier in the afternoon, also indoors.
"The weather kind of put a damper on our plans, but it was still fun to get out and celebrate with the community," said Goessel City Clerk Anita Goertzen.
The Goessel Harvest Festival committee sponsored a movie basket drawing, won by Alisha Weiser and family of rural Goessel. Earlier in the morning, about 20 participants took part in the early morning Harvest Festival Fun Run, and a handful of community members joined the local fire department volunteers for a fund-raising breakfast at the station.

In annals of movie-making greatness, the 2007 film "Knocked Up" will probably never be considered a top-notch classic.
And that's okay, because I'm pretty sure that not what the filmmakers were going for.
But there is one scene in the movie that really stands out, and it turns out it's become increasingly important as America's economy faces a growing demographic crisis.
The scene in question is the turning point of the movie when the male lead "Ben Stone," played by Seth Rogen, finally realizes he can't really be a decent father while still living with his adolescence-clinging friends and having a non-existent career. In pure movie quick-time fun, Ben moves into his own apartment, gets a real job, and actually grows up. In relatively realistic fashion, it's obvious the decision isn't an easy one. The apartment isn't in the best neighborhood, and the job seems less than perfect, but that's real. That's adulthood.
Economic report after economic report continue to show younger Americans aren't following Ben's "Knocked Up" example, however. As Larry Kudlow has said often, the labor participation rate is still well below where it should be—about 10 million jobs off what experts would call a healthy level, and the culprit isn't just the growing number of older Americans retiring from the workforce.
Surveys suggest that young people are having a tough time taking that first step into the world of work. At a time when they should be willing to take more risks and try new career options, a new Chicago Sun-Times survey shows that more young Chicagoans are looking for safer and boring jobs, while older Chicagoans are actually more courageous in their career aspirations. That's a truly upside-down scenario that's harmful for the economy and frankly, just shows how unrealistic young peoples' expectations about work seem to be—at least in Chicago.
It's not just in the work force: All aspects of adulthood seem to be set on pause. Marriage is down. Child birth rates are down. A recent report even shows a clear drop in the number of younger Americans with drivers licenses! Driving is on hold? Really? That's a true American rite of passage and freedom for young people, and it's also being delayed.
This delayed-development/failure-to-launch epidemic is poison for the economy. The longer it takes for college graduates and even non-college grads to get into the world of full-time/live-on-their-own work, the worse the economic prospects will be for them and the rest of us, as well.
I don't come to this with a cold academic point of view. If you're a 25- to 35-year-old "late bloomer" or "non-bloomer," let me assure you that I've been there. I spent more than a year after my college graduation wandering around looking for a real job, let alone some kind of career path, before I took a chance and jumped in broadcast journalism. My first real job was in one of the most ill-managed, small, local market TV stations in America. It was rough, but it made me a grown-up. Eventually, it made me a career.
I know the job opportunities may not seem to be numerous. Perhaps some of the better educated among you aren't considering jobs you might think are beneath you. But trust me, until you've put in a year or two on a full-time job, no job is really beneath anyone in America. Work experience is super valuable at any level. So don't delay the process any longer than you have already.
And once you start working, you'll find this whole investment thing we talk about here on CNBC all the time actually IS for you too. Funny how after people work hard to get some cash, they like to keep more of it and even grow the pot a little bit, too.
The U.S. economy is never going to reach its full potential, or even match its 1990s growth levels, until our millennial generation gets on board with the growing up thing. Don't worry, growing up doesn't mean becoming boring or sad. Just like your decision to join the world of work, that choice is entirely up to you.
