In The Name of God...
Now I understand that the number of kids stoned is more in the 90-100 range.
"Stoned" in Iraq and America apparently have different meanings. Sucks to be "stoned" in Iraq.
I don't care for "emos", but I wouldn't throw a rock at one unless they wanted me to. I don't think...
Nice to think that things are returning to normal in Baghdad and surrounding areas though.
I screamed Allahu Akbar ten times! I thought I might get 10 times the virgins.
Then I prayed. Does facing New Orleans count...?

Sandee: I gotta admit that I'm kind of a hawk when it comes to battle, but I agree that this stupid ass shit in Iraq and Afghanistan has gone way to far. Obama and Sadaam are dead. Let them deal with it themselves from here on out. Fuck 'em.

Well well well... a little late on my part but welcome back Don!!! I had kind of given up on reading blogs over the past "while" but just for the hell of it I thought I'd give a look and to my surprise.... you're back!!! And I couldn't agree more... Fuck 'em all!!! And it never hurts to aim your prayers, whatever they may be, towards the Big Easy!

Tattoo Jim: Hey buddy! Happy to have you back. I'd thought I'd take a short break that resulted in a ten month vacation. Anyway, those fucking morons, oops I'm sorry...I meant, those fucking Muslims can go to hell asap.

Can anyone explain why there's a 10HP difference between the R/T and Daytona??
Hi flow exhaust on the Daytona and R/T with Road & Track package. I think the air box might be different also.
From what i have gathered its the air box design so when its swapped out for a CAI both models are back on the same hp levels. In fact that is why allot of guys run the SRT or Daytona or Road and track package airbox with a drop in instead of a CAI. At least that was the story for the 08 and previous models. I havent kept up with any other additional changes.
Not stock thanks to Plumfloored Creations
Idealy yes it should increase read the mod face off threads they test a bunch of CAI on the dyno so you can see the actual gains between each CAI and which ones cause decreases
Don't. Daytonas also have nicer gearing 3.06s?
The 09's have 368 & 378 horsepower.
2009 Charger RT w/R&T
Wifeys 07 Plum Daytona still has stock muffler in place. Listed as Hi Performance Exhaust on window sticker. Last time out at the track on the stock long block with bolt ons it ran 13.01 @ 105.95.
12.854 @ 106.73; 1.805 Sixty Foot; Tuned By AJ Hemituner, 3" Cal Hood, C&L CAI, Ported T-Body, Gasket Matched JBA Shorties Jet Hot Coated inside and out, JBA Hi Flo Cats, Stock Daytona Muffler, Reso Delete, 6-Speed Engine Mounts, SLP Underdrive Crank Pulley, Mopar TCM, Pro Torque 2800 Converter, 3.06 Gears, 09 Chally Axles & Hubs, Hoosier 275/40/17 Drag Radials, M&H Skinnies
So what's the difference between the daytona and road & track?
I believe the only difference between the Road and Track and the Daytona is the Numbered car system.

Washington, D.C. Weather Forecast: Windy Wednesday
Breezy and cooler behind the front.
- This Afternoon:
- Mostly Sunny and Breezy
- Highs: Low to Mid 60s
- Wind: NW 15-25
- Tonight:
- Clear and Cool
- Lows: Upper 30s to around 40
- Wind: NW 10
- Thursday:
- Sunshine
- Highs: Upper 60s
- Wind: NW 10-15
Looks nice out today, but feels cooler. A cold front crossed our area last evening and as high pressure pushes in from the west, it will make for a windy Wednesday.
The Northwesterly flow will draw in a cooler air mass and temperatures will be about 10 degrees down from Tuesday. In addition, the air is drier and with little measurable rain from yesterday's showers, the region is under a Red Flag Warning today. That means fires would spread quickly today due to dry fuels, low dew points and gusty winds, so it is advised to avoid outdoor burning and extinguish those cigarettes completely. By tomorrow, we will start to warm up a little more to near seasonal conditions and the 70s return with southerly winds for Friday, but showers will be possible in the afternoon.

For my birthday last month I received something I'd been wanting for months, a donut pan! It's no secret that I looove donuts, like a lot. But yeah, they're not all that great for you to eat. And that's where the baked version comes in, it's kind of like a muffin/cake donut and will satisfy your donut craving (it might take three, ahem, but it will). For my first foray into donut baking I went with some simple cider donuts that remind me of leaves falling and the market at Union Square where I always used to buy them.
Bake Cider Donuts
• 2 T butter (room temperature)
• 2 T vegetable oil
• 1/4 C granulated sugar
• 1/2 tspn salt
• 1 tspn ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tspn ground nutneg
• 1/8 tspn ground cloves
• 2 Tbsp apple cider
• 1 egg
• 1/8 tspn baking soda
• 1 tspn baking powder
• 1 1/4 C whole wheat flour
• 1/2 C milk
For the Glaze
• 1 C powdered sugar
• 1/2 tspn ground cinnamon
• 4 Tbsp apple cider
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat donut pan(s) with cooking spray. With a mixer combine softened butter, oil, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Add in the cider and egg. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Add milk. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet and mix in between. Using either a piping bag with large tip or medium-sized storage baggie, pipe the batter into the donut forms. Bake mini donuts for 4 minutes, large donuts for 6. Place baked donuts on rack to cool entirely. Make the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and apple cider until smooth. Once donuts are cool, dip either the tops or the entire donut into the glaze. Place on cooling rack over cookie sheet to drip and dry. Makes 24 mini or 12 large donuts.
A. Those look delicious.
B. That recipe sounds way easier than I would have expected.
C. Now I think *I* need a donut pan, too!

YES to A, B, and C!

I bought a donut pan recently and am so excited about it! Though . . . I haven't used it yet. I think I'm so nervous about making the perfect donuts (they are my absolute favorite sweet treat) that I've been procrastinating. I need to just get in the kitchen and do it!

Scout's honor: He's a top seller
9-year-old doesn't let disease hinder fundraising efforts
Despite some physical limits, 9-year-old Cub Scout Aaron Ruiz has sold twice as much popcorn as any Coastal Bend scout ever as part of a fundraiser -- enough to fill four swimming pools with the fluffy kernel treat.
"It's a lot of work," said the London Independent School District third-grader while munching a McDonald's french fry Saturday.
Aaron was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy two and a half years ago and has had speech difficulty since school age. But he doesn't let using a wheelchair 80 percent of the time slow him down, scout officials said.
"Aaron is a very determined boy," said Veronica Adams, his den leader for two years. "He is real quiet, but no matter the event Aaron keeps up with everybody else, and always does his best, which is what scouting is about.
"When he puts his mind to it," Adams said, "Aaron blows away the other kids."
With his parents' help, Aaron visited neighbors, insisting on walking to every door after his father helped lift him up. His sales pitch is a wide constant smile, raised eyebrows and a repeating nod while his mother explains his goal to qualify for a college scholarship.
"It wasn't just mom and dad helping sell," said Beverly Ruiz, Aaron's mother. "It was Aaron dressing up in his uniform, pecking on doors, smiling and selling popcorn."
After three weekends of knocking on doors, one neighbor lent a hand and gathered orders from his architectural firm's employees and customers totalling $4,202 -- Aaron's biggest sales. With additional support from nine area businesses, Aaron has sold $11,204 of popcorn.
It's the most ever sold by one scout in the South Texas council, said John Thurston, president and CEO of South Texas Council Inc. Boy Scouts of America. Last year a Boy Scout in Victoria was recognized for the highest previous sales, about $6,000.
Popcorn proceeds benefit Aaron's Cub Scout group, Pack 296, which gets a 35-percent commission in addition to prizes.
"We're very proud of our little guy who has worked quite a bit to get there," said the scout's father, George Ruiz, a chemical engineer. "The concept of helping get a scholarship for college is what he talks about a lot now."
By selling more than $2,500 of popcorn Aaron qualified for scholarship funds through Trail's End Scholars. The popcorn manufacturer's college fund program continues to accrue interest year after year, Thurston said. Aaron will continue popcorn sales each year to bolster the scholarship amount each time he qualifies, he said.
In addition to wanting to earn "a big red tent, a big trophy and college" for himself, Aaron received more than $1,000 in donations from people who don't want the popcorn, and he's using that money for organizations that have helped him.
"The Lord is stretching deep and wide the effects of my son's sales, not just helping the pack and council," Ruiz said. "So many more children will benefit from his hard work."
The Cub go-getter is donating part of those funds to the Muscular Dystrophy Association and purchasing a shipment of popcorn for the Ronald McDonald House in Corpus Christi and Dallas where he and his family have stayed seven times. He also is giving Naval Air Station-Corpus Christi Boys and Girls Club, where he played T-ball, enough boxes of microwave popcorn to make 1,185 bags of popcorn.
Aaron began scouting as a Tiger Scout on Nov. 21, 2005 and has earned Emergency Preparedness, Leave No Trace and World Conservation awards.
Scout popcorn sales end today, although it can be ordered online at www.orderpopcorn.com.
Aaron and his seven other den Cubs began their next community service project Sunday.
They placed food bags on about 150 doors in the Luther Jones Elementary School neighborhood for an annual food drive. They will collect them, stuffed with donated canned goods, next Sunday for the Corpus Christi Food Bank.

The Westerly
Posted on May 2, 2012 by TOFoodReviews Staff in Roncesvalles Village
Rate this Review:
4 stars
- Located at the top of the restaurant strip on Roncesvalles, The Westerly is a cozy neighbourhood spot that is sure to please. The uncomplicated menu features classic dishes done beautifully and just a step or two above others'. Five of us arrived for dinner last week and were greeted the charming co-owner, Tom, who presided over the evening with grace and warmth.
We spent an inordinately long time trying to decide from the 10 appetizers and 10 mains. Each looked better than the next and made our decisions more difficult than usual. While we deliberated, a bottle of shiraz and a custom champagne drink were ordered and a basket of some of the best foccaccia I've had in a long time arrived at the table. The crust was crispy and salty and the filled basket did not last long.
After a solid twenty minutes of deliberation, we placed our orders: the romaine heart salad to split two ways; steamed PEI mussels in a grainy mustard butter with a side order of fries; roasted Chicken Supreme stuffed with pulled pork (yes, you read that right) served with bacon & smoked cheddar Israeli couscous; the house burger, made with ground chuck, veal and braised short rib; pan-seared arctic char served atop Israeli couscous with lobster; and roasted halibut topped with salsa verde and served with potatoes and mussels.
When the food arrived, five sets of eyes widened. The plates were beautiful and smelled fantastic. I'm lucky enough to have friends who share, so I got a little of everyone's meal. While all were delicious, there were a few outstanding bites that I would return for which I would The Westerly in a heartbeat. The Israeli couscous with smoked cheddar and bacon was aromatic and, surprisingly, not heavy at all. The smoked ingredients permeated the little couscous pearls, infusing them with a ton of flavour. Next was the burger which was so tender it nearly fell apart in my hands as I ate it, juice running down my hands. It came with a spicy salsa that cut through the richness of the burger beautifully. Undoubtedly, this is a big crowd pleaser.
Between the two fish dishes, I preferred the halibut. I liked the lightness of the fish paired with the bright salsa verde. There was certainly nothing wrong with the char – it was rich, not overcooked and the lobster-laden Israeli couscous was excellent. The balance and combination of ingredients in the halibut dish, though, really appealed to me and I will likely order it upon my next visit.
Amazingly, we had some room left for shared desserts. I opted to split the warm apple crumble with fresh whipped cream while others went for the lemon tart. The crumble was comforting, filled with cinnamon and topped with large, buttery pieces of crumble. Incredible. Definitely a great end to a meal but I recommend sharing as it is quite heavy – otherwise you may be rolling out of the restaurant, pants unzipped.
I would return to The Westerly, unquestionably. My friends and I had a great time in a charming restaurant in which we were treated well (though there was some miscommunication with a dessert, it was rectified gracefully). If you haven't been, add it to your list and prepare for a lovely brunch or dinner!

Mom Saves Twins by Making Herself a 'Speed Bump'
A Massachusetts mother saved her 2-year-old twin daughters as they, buckled inside a closed car, rolled toward an open road. Mindy Tran, the 22-year-old mother, acted quickly by making herself a "speed bump," lying down to block the car's progress. "I don't consider myself a hero," she told reporters, "I am just a mother." More from ABC News:
Tran says she is lucky to be alive after she lay on the ground behind her Honda Accord to stop it from rolling into the street with her kids still inside. "I laid down horizontally, using my body as a speed bump to stop the car," she said.
Her 2-year-old daughters were buckled in the back seat when the car started rolling. A neighbor also came to help.
"My neighbor jumped in and he asked what I wanted them to do," she said. "I said make sure my daughter's got out of the car safely."
Her neighbor was able to get the girls out and they were uninjured, she added. "My daughters and I are all right and keeping our heads up," she said. "I'm lucky to be alive."
There was no damage to the car, Lawrence Fire Department Chief John Marsh said. "Firefighters responded to the apartment and they stabilized the car with wooden blocks and then used an airbag to lift the car off Tran," he said, adding that she was eventually airlifted to a Boston-area hospital.
"We've seen something like this before," he said. "It is an unfortunate accident and somehow her car wasn't in gear."
Tran says she cannot walk and will have surgery in the coming days, along with physical therapy. "I crushed my knee, injured my hips and dislocated a shoulder," she said.

Jewelcrafter's Guide to Cataclysm Buyers
... otherwise known as 'The Beast'. Ok, so I wasn't really looking forward to this one because Jewelcrafting spans all classes. Most other profession wares can be limited to a handful of classes, but Jewelcrafting has forced me to evaluation every 10 levels of gear for every class. But now I've bitten the bullet, gotten it done and I'm ready to share :)

Thoughts on Account Security
This topic has been bugging me for a few weeks now because I was recently hacked. I didn't lose my gear like many players do, luckily Blizzard caught them in the act and locked down my account for 24 hours. It seems they were satisfied with my 70k gold and were in the process of cleaning out my banks when they got shut down. While the inconvenience to me was minimal, the emotional toll was not. On the plus side, Blizzard did a very good job of handling my situation and getting my gold and items back to me.

Alchemist's Guide to Cataclysm Buyers
Wow, has it been three weeks since my last "guide" post? Shame on me! Clearly it's time for a new installment, so I selected Alchemy as my next target. Alchemy is a total no-brainer right? Make potions... rake in cash? I don't consider myself a true Alchemist, since I primarily abuse my Alchemy alt for personal gain. But I did take the time to analyze the available wares and I feel reasonably comfortable with my recommendations.

In case you haven't heard, over the weekend Blizzard announced some changes to Archaeology. "The whole Path of the Titans idea has been removed from the game." Yes, you read that right. Path of the Titans will not be a part of Cataclysm. It is being replaced with something called "medium glyphs". These are glyphs that will provide "fun factor" to abilities. It looks like Inscription will inherit the core functionality that Path of the Titans was going to provide.

New TradeTrak and Site Update!
I realize that web site and add-on updates aren't the most exciting events in the world, but I want to let you guys know that we ARE still busy here :) Before Beta starts, I'm trying to clean up our database in preparation for all the new Cataclysm goodies. I just completed a massive review of all 293 non-faction vendors in the game. I visited every single one of the them and confirmed every recipe they sell. This means for every "limited" spawn recipe, I camped until it popped to make sure it was still there. Our information should now be 100% accurate in terms of which vendors sell which recipes.
We've also updated TradeTrak to 3.3.3 and included all the vendor changes. As a result of requests from our users, we've also added the Mining recipe list to TradeTrak. The newest version has been submitted to Curse.com and is pending approval. Once it's posted it should be here:

Vanilla Weaponsmithing plans now available to all!
It appears that sometime during all the changes to profession specializations, a few of the Blacksmithing quests got modified. Perhaps those who have visited the quest givers for Weaponsmithing may have noticed, but I didn't even realize this was changed. Back in the Vanilla WoW days, you had to complete a dungeon quest to unlock one of three Weaponsmith specialties. Once you completed a quest you could not do the other two (or switch specs either, but we knew that).

One of the greatest traditions to come out of the South is the deviled egg. While Southerners are not responsible for the dish's inception, they are certainly accountable for the preparation and clockwork-like delivery of this get-together staple.

Former East Webster football player Johnthan Banks is accustomed to being the center of attention on the football field.
In high school, Banks was the best athlete on the field most Friday nights. At Mississippi State, he's one of the most gifted defensive backs in the nation.

After the agonising wait for exam results and the scramble for university places, thousands of teenagers will be leaving home in the next few weeks.
My 18-year-old daughter is one of them. She's off to London and is busy packing clothes, books, pots, pans and her prized collection of Vogue magazines into two modest suitcases.
In the midst of the chaos, an anxious friend texted her. "How's your mum coping?" said the text. "Fine. Why?" texted back my daughter. "Because mine isn't," came the reply.
Maybe I'm hard-hearted but far from weeping into my pillow or pleading with her not to go, I'm thrilled my daughter's off to the big city.
I'm going to miss her like mad – well, maybe not her Dizzee Rascal tracks blaring at top volume from her bedroom or her washing scattered all over the place – but it's definitely time she started her own life. Childhood and school are things of the past and she's excited about living away from home for the first time. In fact she's counting the days.
But after talking to friends, I don't seem to be very typical. Lots of parents say they're having sleepless nights at the thought of their "empty nests" and murmur darkly how family life will never be the same.
Some mothers have told me they feel overcome by feelings of sadness and loneliness. Others are worried sick about how their children will ever manage to cook for themselves, stay solvent and resist the temptation to prop up the student bar every night. These feelings are apparently so common among worried parents that the national charity Parentline Plus has put together a list of tips to guide them through the next few weeks. These range from making plans for the weeks after your children have moved out to keeping busy and "taking time out for yourself."
I reckon, though, that by the age of 18 or 19 teenagers are desperate to do their own thing without their parents cheering from the sidelines. My daughter and I have always been incredibly close but she doesn't want me monitoring her every move any more. Even now, she rolls her eyes when I ask what time she's going to be home at night, warn her not to drink too much (certainly not the vodka teapots they sell at the nightclub she goes to) or exclaim at some remark she's made on Facebook. In fact I'm pretty sure I'll be dropped as a Facebook friend in the very near future.
There's no way in a million years she'd let me be a "helicopter parent" either, hovering over her and directing her life. Right from the word go, she shrewdly decided what she wanted to study, which university she was aiming for and where she wanted to live. She certainly wasn't going to put up with any lobbying from me. When I once foolishly suggested a subject I thought she'd be good at, she firmly told me "that's the very last thing I'll do."
Even if I dared to get emotional about her leaving home now she'd swiftly tell me to pull myself together. She's set me up on Skype and I'm sure she'll send the occasional text or email to let us know how she's getting on. And on the plus side, a survey published last month found that 84 per cent of parents whose children had flown the nest said their lives had improved hugely. They felt "ten years younger," were richer on average by £600 a month and socialised far more often.
If that turns out to be true, great.
And if by any chance it doesn't and I can't cope without my darling daughter at home, at least she'll be back for Christmas.

Dr. Paul Hanstedt remembers the moment well: "I was sitting in the dining hall at St. Aidan's College in Durham, England. It was a formal dinner and everyone around me was laughing and talking and having a great time.
"I couldn't understand a word anyone said."
He just sat there, blushing-he was a Midwestern boy out of his element. "I couldn't say anything, couldn't communicate with anyone, because I had no idea what was going on around me."
He didn't know it then, but that was the moment that would shape his career in English and writing. "I'm the son of a preacher, and I'd always felt I was good at communicating with people. So to be locked out-to be kept from the conversation-was incredibly painful."
What drives Hanstedt's teaching is the desire to bring people in, to help them develop the skills-whether in writing, reading, or cultural analysis-that allow them to participate in the conversations that matter. Dr. Hanstedt teaches a wide variety of courses, including first-year seminars on travel writing and ecstasy, a Human History course on artistic and literary responses to science and technology, creative fiction, and Composition Theory and Practice.
"I think natural talent is over-rated," he says. "I don't believe some people can or can't write, can or can't understand poetry, can or can't be engaged by the world around them. A well-designed class and some hard work can really open doors for people. The thing I enjoy more than anything is when a student does something they thought they couldn't do, falls in love with a topic they used to hate, or hands me a piece of writing they thought they weren't capable of. I love that.
"I think most of the people in the English department love that."
Hanstedt's own work is wide-ranging and eclectic. Educated in Victorian Literature, his publications include works in creative fiction and non-fiction, drama, essays about small school culture and cognitive neuroscience, and several works on general education. He has recently completed a memoir detailing his Fulbright year in Hong Kong with his wife and three small children, and is currently working on a short guide to general education for busy faculty. He also reads essays on Virginia Public Radio.
"My year in Hong Kong was important," he says. "It gave me an opportunity to discuss recent trends in general education with over a dozen universities and two-year colleges-and to talk with faculty there about teaching practices, about finding ways to create a better learning environment for students. It also gave me a renewed taste for travel and travel writing-that's something I definitely want to pursue in the future."
Hanstedt was one of the campus leaders in Roanoke College's recent revision of their general education program, and he consults with universities both in the U.S. and abroad about matters of liberal education, course design, and writing pedagogies. He received his Ph.D. from Ohio State University after earning his M.A. from Iowa State University in creative writing. His B.A. is from English from Luther College. He is unapologetic about his affection for small colleges

Alarming reports in the Navy Times and the Japanese Yomiuri Shimbun state that the U.S. aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk battle group was confronted by Chinese warships as it transited the Taiwan Strait after being turned away from Hong Kong in November. According to the Navy Times:
The carrier strike group encountered Chinese destroyer Shenzhen and a Song-class sub in the strait on Nov. 23, causing the group to halt and ready for battle, as the Chinese vessels also stopped amid the 28-hour confrontation.
The Yomiuri account gives more detail:
The Kitty Hawk observed the Chinese submarine, and after a U.S. antisubmarine patrol aircraft confirmed the Chinese submarine was keeping pace with the U.S. carrier by reducing speed and stopping, the U.S. vessel launched an aircraft to watch for possible hostile behavior by the Chinese Navy.
The ultimate source of both accounts is the China Times, a respectable Taipei newspaper. The more detailed Chinese language version, written by three reporters, quotes one unidentified "authoritative source." and another "source" for the story, and speculates on the origins and significance of the encounter.
What are we to make of this? If the report is true then we have a very serious problem. Rather than becoming friendly in response to American friendliness, the Chinese are (mis)-reading us as weak and trying to frighten us. But we also have an explanation for the sudden four day trip to Beijing by Admiral Timothy Keating, head of the U.S. Pacific Command, just completed. The meeting was reportedly amicable, but shed no new light at all on the mysterious closure of Hong Kong last year.
Afterwards, the Admiral had some uncharacteristically feisty words for the Chinese. "We don't need China's permission to go through the Taiwan Strait. It is international water. We will exercise our free right of passage whenever and wherever we choose." If the story is completely false, we have to ask who falsified it and for what reason. The China Times takes a pro-Beijing editorial stance. How this story would help Beijing is difficult to see.
My own reading is this: the story probably has some basis. I say this because it fits into a worrying pattern of increasingly erratic and hostile Chinese behavior towards American forces in Asia. I don't pretend to know what the origins of this pattern are. But it represents a clear shift and a worrying one–and instead of making nice, we should be paying attention.

After recently reviewing a couple of light offerings that had SSD to give rapid booting, its back to a larger business notebook but as its high end you lose that horrible shiny black screen surround that shows all the fingermarks. The only thing I noticed was the slower boot up simply because of the two units I previously reviewed were SSD or SSD helped units. When I use my own notebook this unit seems extremely fast so everything is relative.
Single Review, online available, Short, Date: 09/26/2012
Intel HD Graphics 4000: Processor graphics card in the high end Ivy Bridge models. Offers a different clock speed in the different CPU models (ULV to desktop quad core) and therefore a different performance.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
3210M: Fast Ivy-Bridge-based dual-core, includes HD 4000 GPU, core clock 2.5 - 3.1 GHz» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.6": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.9 kg: These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 12 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

- ok, so

AT&T used some pretty heavy handed leveraging to buy themselves this sweet deal. Was anyone so deluded that they believed they had anything else in mind, except what they did in doing what they've always done?

- If by AT&T you mean SBC
- Lets for the sake of this conversation use AT&T-OldCompanyName so we know which division we are talking about.
AT&T - SBC bought AT&T-Bell South which it was partners with to bring us AT&T - cingular wireless. The Buy out of AT&T - Bell South makes sense. This gave the one company 100% control over the sub company.
AT&T - SBC then bough AT&T - AT&T for its long distance and business services. This wasn't to get it cellular service, Maybe the name, but the money they were after was in the big business and government contracts for voice and data services. Maybe some patents as well.
AT&T is now what used to be AT&T - SBC. It is AT&T - SBC leadership at the top. Not the old AT&T - AT&T leadership. AT&T - SBC has been running old AT&T - AT&T customers off the old brand for sometime. The old AT&T - AT&T cellular contracts were sweet. They did not meet well with cingulars. My guess is they wanted to preserve the cingular name as it had more market share than AT&T but... AT&T is a brand like Coke. People just know it on site.

- Moscow Tractor Factory #6
- A telco that covers 50% of the land mass of United States can pretty much call itself anything it likes. AT&T is now part of the telco oligarchy that controls this country. It reminds me of the old days of the Soviet Union when Moscow Tractor Factory #6 not only produced tractors but womens' coats as well. Will Gen X refuse to buy Apple's IPhone because it uses the AT&T cellular network? I think not.

- I am a cingular employee and i have had numerous people come in and complain about the new news. Customers dont want AT&T, They want cingular, thats why they bought it. Besides CDMA or GSM networks, all cell phone companies are pretty much the same. The main key ingredient in wireless services is the name. Cingular is know for the " family" talk bundles. The name, logo and commercials appeal to modern kids, teens, and adults. Farmers cutting crop circles is not going to attract anyone except for our grandparents and doubtful at that. AT&T is know for ******* up, failed projects and changing the name. Sorry AT&T, you may be the hand that feeds me but your a bunch of retards. HOORAAY FOR MONEY HUNGRY COOPERATEs !!!!

- Re: nonsense
- Actually, I know a good deal of people, including my entire family, who really wanted ATT, but were forced into getting cingular. ATT wireless had GREAT customer service, and the sales rep managed to get us nearly 400 extra minutes per month per phone! Of course, after the buyout of ATT wireless by Cingular, we were forced into switching to a Cingular plan, with much less minutes, and much crappier customer service.
Not that this new development will help any, as its still gonna be the Cingular people in charge under the ATT name...

Cingular comes up with every trick in the book to steal those

saying that I had used them up when I KNOW I had my phone in
a unused drawer with a dead battery that wouldn't recharge. No

i went to as local store, got 2 free phones, and went to cingular, they had horrible customer service, was lied to around every corner and i was being excessivly billed, the rollover was not going right, you name it

is pure evil; they lie and steal at every turn. I got out of them
and into T-Mobile, which was like receiving a pass out of hell
into heaven. I think Apple's linking their iPhone with Cingular
will kill the iPhone, unless their foreign sales (which aren't
chained to Cingular) can sustain it. By the way, I think AT&T is
not a well-loved brand name, either. Or else, why did they lose

If so I will go to Alltel or Verizon they both knock the pants off att/Cingular or whoever the Federal government will decide to call them next week.

- Look
- What you forget is that wireless service is really only a radio
signal, so saying that any one carrier is any better than another
for service is a statement born of ingorance, especially because
most wireless providers have roaming agreements with each
other where their service areas don't overlap, sometimes even
when they do, and they rarely charge for roaming anymore.
Cingular only has national plans which do not have roaming in
the continental united states, although of course in the gulf
coast you have off shore towers which if you end up roaming on,
you get 3.99 / min charges.
That is not cingular / tmobile / at&t wireless or any other
wireless provider's responsibility to let you know about. Read
your contract, it's actually in there. There is also a clause in your
contract saying you can not sue your wireless provider, you can
request binding arbitration with an arbitrater of their choosing.
So stop threatening to sue, they're laughing at you...
Remember my earlier point about wireless being a radio signal,
well keep that in mind when you're driving 75 mph, wireless is
meant for mobility, but be careful with your mobility. You ARE
going to lose signal sometimes, you ARE going to drop calls. If
you want 100% or ever 90 % reliability, use a land line phone.
Especially if you are a business customer, I know you like the
convenience of a wireless for business, but it always turns into a
huge problems, with needless calls to customer service to
complain about something that will never be fixed.
In summation Wireless = Radio
- therefore it will not always work, in fact you will be lucky to
have it working 80% of the time you need it to work.
- You can't sue so stop threatening
- It really doesn't matter who your provider is, they all go
through phases where they feel customer satisfaction is more
important than numbers, then it switches to numbers are more
important than customer satisfaction. It isn't going away.

- Sorry but JD Power and Associates are wrong. I've compared rate plans among Sprint, Verizon, Cingular, and T-Mobile and to get the same service I get with Cingular it would cost me more with every other carrier. Not to mention I travel with the military and I very rarely loose service with Cingular. I've tried Sprint (What a Joke for service) and I loose service anytime I'm away from a major suburb or highway. T-Mobile is just higher priced on their family plans and their phones suck.

I keep telling people that if they're on a plan to where their usage does not match the plan to the point where they HAVE to roll minutes over, they're getting ripped off on the plan and should just downgrade to a plan that's more suitable. Their reply: "well what if one month I go over that?" And yet they never do. It's really irritating.
When this becomes AT&T I REALLY hope they do away with Rollover. Then there will be nothing left to appeal to customers.

- I hate AT&T, they should stay Cingular!
- I've had Cingular for 6 years now with very few problems. I travel a lot and haven't had many dropped calls and always have pretty good customer service, especially compared to Voice Stream. AT&T is just crap. They had horrible land line service when we had them and they are going to loose brand recognition among the younger kids.

- Ever since AT&T did their thing the service from Cingular ha gone from good to very bad. Just goes to show what happens when BIG money does it's thing.

By Neil Pond
For American Profile
Because it's based a true story, and also because buzz about it has been so intense, most people will know before they buy a ticket to "127 Hours" that it's likely going to make them squirm.
And anyone who doesn't know should probably be warned, since some viewers have reportedly fainted when the camera focuses for several unblinking minutes on the nearly unthinkable act for which the eventual triumphant outcome of the story depends.
The movie depicts the ordeal of Aron Ralston, an outdoor enthusiast who in 2003 fell into a deep canyon crevice while hiking alone in Utah. Pinned to the wall by a dislodged boulder for five days with no prospect of rescue, he sawed off his right forearm with a pocketknife in order to escape.
But "127 Hours" is much more than simply a cinematic endurance test to see if you can stomach what you know is coming when it finally arrives. It's an inspiring tale of one young man's incredible perseverance, resourcefulness and will to survive. It's a powerful, perhaps even Oscar-worthy acting performance by James Franco, who plays Ralston. And it's another stylistic triumph for director Danny Boyle, the British director who swept audiences away last year with the emotionally soaring, ultimately exhilarating "Slumdog Millionarie."
Boyle uses a bag of edgy, arty cinematic tricks to expand the narrative beyond the dire, claustrophobic circumstance in which Ralston finds himself by the end of the movie's first half hour. He fleshes out his main character, and the situation, with flashbacks, hallucinations, premonitions and delirious dreams that flash through Ralston's mind throughout the nightmare.
In the lead-up to the fall into the crevice, we learn that Aron is a happy-go-lucky loner and an athletic risk-taker. He's so anxious to get where he's going that he tarries only briefly with the two flirtatious female hikers he encounters early in his off-the-road trek.
We also watch him bolt off for his adventure without his cell phone, his heavy-duty Swiss army knife, or that extra bottle of Gatorade, all of which he'll come to regret. He didn't return his sister's answering-machine message, or his mother's, before he left home, and he didn't tell his coworker---or anyone else---where he was headed.
And that drip-drip-dripping kitchen faucet, seen in the opening split-screen montage as he scurries around preparing to leave, becomes an omen of the precious hydration he'll be needing—desperately-— later.
"127 Hours" is in limited release, which means it might not be showing at your local multiplex. But it's well worth the effort to seek out, even if it means driving a few extra miles.
For a movie about a man falling into a canyon crack, there's much to think about here, not the least of which is how far any one of us would go, under similar circumstances, to survive. Could we do what Ralston did? Could we joke about the irony of buying a cheap utility tool, because it came with a free (equally cheap) flashlight? Could we realize, as Aron does, that any situation is the result of decisions you make, the due course of things you do and things you neglect?
In the movie's epilogue, we meet the real Ralston and learn that even with a prosthetic right hand and forearm, he continues to ski, hike, mountaineer and bike. But now, we're told, he always leaves a note behind, telling someone where he's going and how long he expects to be gone.
After watching "127 Hours," you'll agree that's a terrifi —maybe even life-saving —idea.

The AppAdvice iPhone App Of The Week: Army of Darkness Defense
Released May 12 ($0.99); original article
Army of Darkness Defense has finally been released on the App Store and it's looking great. We previewed the game a few weeks ago; it is based on a 1992 feature film with plenty of tie-ins to that movie (including over 100 lines of dialogue). However, even if you are not a fan of horror B-movies, the game has plenty to offer and is worth checking out.
The app is a combination of tower defense and hack 'n' slash games. The game has you controlling a character named Ash and defending a castle from an army of darkness, but you also have control over various defenses to the castle that can be set up as barriers. You can even summon your own army of troops against the enemy and earn gold through hard-fought battles. Gold is the main currency for purchasing upgrades and troops, and it can also be purchased via in-app purchases.
New Apps
Notacious for iPhone
Released May 10 (free); original article
Notacious, the online note taking service, is now available on iDevices. The $.99 Notacious for iPhone/iPod touch app was just released into the App Store.
Created by lepidu development, the Notacious app lets users record notes on the fly. Best of all, those notes are automatically synced between devices.
Released May 10 ($1.99); original article
Zootool is a fully-featured app for the bookmarking service Zootool.
I've only recently started using Zootool, but I'm finding it to be a much better bookmarking solution than something like delicious, which seems to be dying ever since Yahoo! purchased it and hasn't done much with it since. Now, Zooltool has an official iPhone app in the App Store, and I must say, it's a pleasure to use.
Bug Chucker
Released May 11 ($.99, universal); original article
Cyan Worlds, best known for creating the world-renowned Myst and Riven, have released Bug Chucker for iOS, a brand new physics-based artillery game where you must defend the Galactic Bugship S.S. Treehugger and its precious cargo from the Sawz attack.
In each of Bug Chucker's 42 levels, you are required chuck loads of different bugs through space in hopes of crashing into the evil robotic Sawz that lurk behind planets, force fields, and debris. You don't always have to achieve a direct hit though, as floating debris can weaken and even destroy Sawz.
Released May 11 (free); original article
Newsbits, the debut iPhone application from developer mjclabs, is brand new, having just launched on the App Store.
Simply, the lightweight app is a simple news aggregator. Seller Chilongo Mulanda explains that it's ideal for those who "value reading news from several sources, whether to corroborate, compare or to gain different perspectives."
Features include nicely-formatted picture galleries, a "save article" function, link-sharing (via email, Facebook, and Twitter), and personalized view modes with adjustable font sizes. The purported split-screen capability is nowhere to be found, however, and the news sources are — for the time being, anyway — quite scant.
Panda vs. Pig
Released May 11 ($1.99); original article
Panda vs. Pig by 3river3 Studios is a new version of the classic game Pocket Tanks. In this game, pandas and pigs take turns shooting arrows at each other to win. Pandas and pigs are not natural enemies; in fact they'd probably never meet in the wild. However in this game evil pigs have kidnapped baby panda, and the panda family is coming to the rescue. If this sounds oddly familiar you're probably noticing the striking similarity to Angry Birds.
The object of the game is to kill the pigs with your archery skills. To aim your bow, touch the angle you want to shoot at. To adjust the shot's power, drag your finger back. Aiming and firing is not easy, it takes practice to get the hang of it. Characters can also move, s
WI Orchestra
Released May 11 (free, universal); original article
WI Orchestra is a recently released universal app, which allows users to access "a full orchestra library" and compose music on their iOS device.
The application features a variety of different instruments, though only five are available to access for free. The remaining 40+ instruments are available to purchase in app, and form a total of five instrument packs ("strings," "brasswinds," "woodwinds," "saxophones" and "percussion"). Each instrument pack is priced at $2.99.
Updated Apps
World of Goo HD
Updated May 10 ($4.99, universal); original article
One month after its Universal debut, the $4.99 World of Goo HD game has received a significant update, at least for iPhone users. Version 1.4 brings Retina display to the game for the first time.
Created by 2D BOY, World of Goo HD is a puzzler where you build structures made of goo balls. The update was announced on the 2D BOY blog.
N.O.V.A. 2 – Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance
Updated May 11 ($6.99); original article
N.O.V.A. 2 – Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance and N.O.V.A. 2 – Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance HD have just received a very welcome update with three new multiplayer maps. This update brings the games to version 1.1.7 and the map pack will set you back an additional $1.99 as an in-app purchase in addition to the title's $6.99 price tag. The game offers great online play and is one of the top FPS titles on the App Store; the update should keep gamers coming back, and the playing community active.
The Gameloft first-person shooter series, Nova and Nova 2, have been inspired by Bungie's Halo for the Xbox and offer both single player campaigns and multiplayer mayhem over Wi-Fi. The games also share a similar futuristic-themed storyline, enemies and landscapes. However, Nova 2 has a lot to offer that makes it stand out from the Bungie games as well as other first-person shooters on the App Store. This is due to the amount of content it offers, great enemy A.I. and weapon selection, and the various controls schemes that have been provided to make it as precise as possible for an iDevice game.
Angry Birds Rio
Updated May 13 ($.99); original article
The popular iOS application, Angry Birds Rio, has recently been updated. Now, fans of the app can enjoy a whole new level: "Beach Volley."
Both versions of the app – Angry Birds Rio ($0.99) and Angry Birds Rio HD ($2.99) – have received the update, which became available earlier today. As you can see in below gameplay video, the new episode is acted out on the golden sands of an ocean side beach. It's currently available to download now, and as you would expect the update is free for iOS fans who already own the app.
Colorflys SD
Updated May 13 ($.99); original article
One of AppAdvice's "Best iPad Apps Of The Week" is now available for the iPhone/iPod touch as a separate app. Colorflys is available in the App Store. Best of all, we've got promo codes for some of our readers to receive the app for free.
Created by iGotIt Games, Colorflys SD is a wonderful combination of visual beauty, interaction, and a remarkable soundtrack. The object is to capture magical butterflies happily flying across a beautiful landscape. But, be careful: Do not touch butterflies of another color or type or the dreaded bumblebees. This will cause your capture to fail!
Doodle Jump – BE WARNED: Insanely Addictive!
Updated May 13 ($.99); original article
Lima Sky's popular iOS app, Doodle Jump, has recently been updated. Now, fans of the app can earn three new achievements in the app's recently added multiplayer mode.
As outlined in the app's release notes:
NEW multiplayer racing achievements! Can you become the Racing Legend by winning 1000 races? or a Racing Hero by winning 500? Win 100 races and you'll be the Racing Champ!
To reiterate: The achievements are "Racing Champ" (for winning 100 races), "Racing Hero" (for winning 500 races) and "Racing Legend" (for winning 1,000 races). The updated version of Doodle Jump (version 2.3) is currently available to download now.
Tweetbot– A Twitter Client with Personality
Updated May 13 ($1.99); original article
The popular Twitter client for iOS, Tweetbot, has recently been updated. Now, users of the app can enjoy a variety of new features, including landscape support, user and hashtag buttons, improved location data and more.
As outlined in the app's release notes, features added in the latest version include:
- Landscape support for media, compose and web views
- Added User/Hashtag buttons to compose toolbar
- Improved accuracy of displayed locations
- Tweet gaps now load above instead of below

TAT the hard way - 2up on a 950

7/25 Day 2 of the TAT: Salida, CO to Lake City, CO aprox. 170 miles
Hancock and Tomichi Passes.
It was a chilly, rainy morning but anticipation kept us warm.
Cascade Falls
the ubiquitous falling-down-mining-ruin shot. I was surprised that this was so early in the trail.
the Hancock Pass welcome mat. This photo is blurry because we hit a big rock as I clicked the shutter, but I like how it shows the crap you have to go through before you can get on the trail.
Going up to Hancock Pass
I tried to take pictures of the difficult sections...I think I managed to get snapshots of most of them. Honestly, I was waiting for things to get worse, but they never did.
Looking over at Tomichi Pass
Tomichi Pass
Looking back at Hancock Pass
Note the super crappy GPS - this glorified compass would come back to haunt us again and again...
A moose! Not a great photo - he was walking towards us when a jeep came by and scared him back into the trees.
The clouds were threatening to dump as we sped towards Lake City.
Amazingly, we got there just before it really came down (can't remember the exact time - 2:30 ish. pretty early).
We got our bags off the bike just before the downpour.
After it cleared up, we had a nice dinner here. The young waitress was so sweet and funny. She recommended the ice cream place for dessert (good call).
The ice cream place - San Juan Soda Co. Handmade ice cream. The mint chip is delicious!
This was one of our best days of the trip. I LOVED Hancock and Tomichi passes - the scenery was breathtaking and the riding was really fun. Matt did so well - no get offs, no problems at all. I think he only dabbed once or twice.
But don't worry - we got ours later down the TAT!
