Best Tablet 2012: 9th Pocket-lint Gadget Awards nominees
The 9th Pocket-lint Gadget Awards are just around the corner and it's time to get voting. What? You haven't voted yet? What kind of slacker are you? Yes, that's right, the kind of slacker who'd rather sit and decide which was the best tablet of 2012 than tend those mindless spreadsheets of your mindless job.
So, come. Take a look at the shortlist for Best Tablet 2012. See what you think. Maybe even use it as some kind of guide for Christmas shopping. Whatever your choice, vote here and vote - well, at the end of this article, anyway.
Nexus 7
- Price
- £159
- Released
- July 2012
The impressive thing about the Nexus 7 is the quality of the device you get from Asus, at the price you're being asked to pay. The hardware and the build quality is top-notch, there's plenty of power and the screen is fantastic. Add this to a pure Google experience, the latest version of Android and you're on to a winner from a software point of view too.
Along with the likes of the Kindle Fire HD and Nook, Google and Asus have been at the cutting edge of the drive to turn tablets from a luxury item to the standard household gadgets that they should be. The price is nigh on unbeatable and the experience is solid. It's a sure crowd-pleaser but enough to get your vote?

iPad mini
- Price
- £269
- Released
- November 2012
Rumoured for so long, the 7-inch iPad turned up just in time for the 9th Pocket-lint Gadget Awards to add some kind of seal of approval and recognition to the fact that, actually, Samsung was probably right about how big tablets should be all along. Whoops.
The iPad mini is the new iPad to lust after. It's a lot more manageable, a lot more kid-friendly, more game-friendly and it's just a lot more "you" friendly. It's a lovely size, it's a lovely experience, and one that we can easily see cannibalising iPad 4 and iPad 2 sales in the future. It might be mini by nature, but it is mighty by the things it can offer. We love it. Do you?

Asus Transformer Pad Infinity
- Price
- £599
- Released
- August 2012
Price aside, we love the Infinity. The screen is glorious, it feels like a sturdy tablet and it looks superb. The keyboard and trackpad could be better when compared to a laptop but, in the tablet space, it's real bonus.
The first company to really get Android tablets right, Asus has shown once again in 2012 that there's life beyond Apple. It matches the iPad in style and performance. The only problem is, it also matches the firm in price. The cost has dropped considerably since it was first brought out, but than our expectations of a tablet have grown by a similar amount.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
- Price
- £400
- Released
- August 2012
There's always a new piece of wall to throw sticky stuff at if you're as rich as Samsung and see if it, well, sticks. Fresh from its success with a stylus-based tablet of a sort, the Korean giant doubled the size of the thing in 2012 and offered an art/education/office type experience with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
The good news is that we like the Note. We like it a lot. It's every bit the tablet that the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is, and you get the stylus, which while not crucial to most people, is a nice little device. The extra processing power also means you can do some pretty amazing things, and the camera is actually reasonable. Aside from the focusing, and dreadful video recording, it's capable of producing some nice results - in good conditions.

Microsoft Surface RT
- Price
- £559
- Released
- November
We're sold, honestly, on the Surface RT. It's not cheap, but it's priced aggressively enough that people will give it some thought before they snap up an iPad. But, the Surface isn't really competing with the iPad. It's looking to take the crown from laptops. And in that regard, we think it's doing some impressive work. Battery life is excellent and it's still as light as you need it to be.
The acid test of any gadget, for us, is how sad we are to give it back once we've finished reviewing it. In this case, we were beyond sad, and have moved into a state of great turmoil that is likely to end up in an expensive online shopping trip. The Surface might not be perfect yet, but we can see a bright future for it.

Surely ye jest!
All is lost without Valerie Plame Super Spy!
Scooter is in jail for not having 100% accurate total recall, and Ricky "my peeps" Holder commits perjury, and obstruction of justice daily.
It seems that the left has been far more leaky than the right. I recall that the Plame affair was if not exactly a leak certainly an appeal against the administration by the agency. It probably was a setup from the beginning.
We have a history of the CIA leaking against George Bush and joined by the Department of State. This was undoubtedly a coordinated leak designed to frustrate, not administration policy, but to further administration policy against Israel. It might be that the only motive that Obama has in this is to delay the strike to his schedule so that he can craft an October surprise and strike himself to win the election.
We also have the history of the Pentagon papers which helped unhorse a president of the United States.
I think that George Bush just got it wrong in failing to be aggressive against the leakers but being overly aggressive (or excessively pusillanimous) on the Valerie Plame affair, all to the detriment of national security. Obviously, the administration officials who leaked this have no fear.

Mentored by John Van Auken
April 8- May 5, 2015
Price: $99
John Van Auken, a widely recognized expert on the Cayce readings and ancient mysticism, is going to take you on a journey using legends, lore, codexes, and images from
the Maya, Toltecs, and Aztecs – and of course the Edgar Cayce readings. The aim is to help you fully realize your spiritual nature and your ultimate destiny. This
connection with the Light will brighten your life on Earth, advance your soul growth, awaken you higher consciousness, and allow you to be channels of light and love to
those you meet and share life
The ancient Maya, Toltecs, and Aztecs were very aware of other realms of life and states of consciousness beyond ours, and they recorded their secret teachings in their
codexes and on the their temple and pyramid walls. But these images and stories are very difficult to translate and make practical in life today, so John and Cayce will
make the magic happen. Using these ancient people's secret names, terms, and stories you will learn how one makes passage from the physical reality to higher realities
and the Big Picture! The teachings explain in detail the various challenges one faces in coming forth into the Light and regain your awareness of your heavenly nature
while still being in the midst of your human nature. The temple trainings explain that our souls were, are, and will be once again among the heaven beings – and that
our life on Earth would be so much better if we only knew and applied these concepts while incarnate and living with others.
As he did in his ancient Egyptian training course, John has divided this new course into four Temple Trainings, each with a specific focus into the wisdom of the Maya,
Toltecs, and Aztecs. You journey through these temples as an initiate until you complete the 3rd Temple, then, having reached the rank of priest or priestess, you enter
the 4th and final Temple: "The Magician Within You."
John Van Auken is a well-known and well-respected teacher with a skill for making the most esoteric and complex concepts and practices clear and practical – while
keeping the magic that is so marvelous to experience firsthand. His online course for gaining higher states of consciousness through Egyptian concepts had record
attendance and was widely applauded for breaking new ground in online training and virtual reality experiences. Join in this rare and marvelous journey.
John Van Auken is a long-time staff member and Director here at A.R.E. and is one of our most popular and renowned speakers. He is the author of more than a dozen books, including Toward a Deeper Meditation, Ancient Egyptian Mysticism, and Kabbalah: A Resource for Soulful Living. His presentations at conferences on Ancient Mayan
Mysticism and the Legends of the Maya have gain acclaim as some of the most interesting and inspirational programs.
He has appeared on several television and radio programs, including the FOX show "Opening the Tomb Live from Egypt", the Discovery Channel's "Searching for Atlantis" and the History Channel's "Digging for the Truth." John conducts seminars in the U.S. and abroad and is a tour guide to many sacred sites around the world, including A.R.E.'s popular tours to Egypt and our upcoming new tour of the mystical sites of England.
John is an acknowledged expert on the Cayce readings, the Bible, ancient prophecies, world religions, meditation, and ancient Egypt and is one of our most admired and respected researchers.

In the virtual meeting room, you will have access to the written and audio materials prepared for you by John Van Auken.

Posting is very similar to sending an e-mail, except that all the e-mails are viewed within your virtual meeting room.

Hi Everyone,
Figured my first post as a destination expert should be something beneficial to both the people that like to relax and those who like to party.
If any of you are traveling in May please note that May 23rd to 27th is a big party called Urban Paradise Weekend for Memorial Day Weekend. There will be NFL and NBA athletes, dj's etc.
There host resort is Ocean Blue & Sand and there block of rooms have already been sold out.
There second hotel is Occidental which I expect their block of rooms will be sold out as soon.
So for those of you who like to sit back and relax these two resorts might not be a good idea during those dates.
For those of you that like to party you do not need to stay at those resorts to join in the fun. All their nighttime parties will be held at the 4 main popular nightclubs. The clubs will be packed and it will be a great party.
The club and day the event is taking place can be found at below link.
Safe Travels Everyone!Edited: 4:38 pm, March 06, 2013

4 reviews | 4 out of 5
I first started using Brasso when I went into the Army in the early 1960s. It was a great product and I've used it ever since then. Whgen I ran out recently I was able to find only the new plastic bottle and believed that was a nice improvement over the metal can. Well, it is - but the product inside is absolutely worthless... at least it is if you're used to "the real thing". Brasso is now a thick liquid cream that dries up rapidly so you use a lot more of it. It doesn't polish nearly as well as the original Brasso did. It's sad that Reckitt had to take a great product and Wreck It... at least they should have continued making the original "good" version. This is the 'New Coke' version of Brasso and I hope Reckitt suffers for degrading the product.
I am using Brasso to polish brass on an old boat. 8 oz used generously has polished 7 light fixtures. It takes A LOT of elbow grease but the fixtures were in terrible condition and never thought they would come out as good as they did. Even the pitted areas were able to be polished up. I would recommend this for any brass boat fixture.
Best product for cleaning brass but requires some elbow grease. I also tried soap and water, Scrubbing Bubbles, Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner, white vinegar and ammonia which didn't work. I have 2 huge, decorative, hammered brass vases that were severely tarnished. To cut down on the elbow grease and time involved, I used table ketchup with salt sprinkled on the rag, rinsed, dried, then a very thin coating of Brasso and polished. Amazing results with less elbow grease and time!
this product "Brasso" works great cleaning my brass lamps, discolored brass handles on bureaus and even doorknobs.

Hi there
My name is Grace.
I post things every now and then
And I try to keep this profile up-to-date
Feel free to message me :)
Working On:
Slowly wading through my collection of oneshot ideas
X-men Evolution
Hopefully more Kurt/Kitty oneshots, maybe an AU multichaptered fic if I actually get it written out
Parting Notes: I like to alphabetize and italicize things
Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.
I am irritated by my own writing. I am like a violinist whose ear is true, but whose fingers refuse to reproduce precisely the sound he hears within.
"I'm bored" is a useless thing to say. I mean, you live in a great, big, vast world that you have seen none of a percent of. Even the inside of your own mind is endless; it goes on forever, inwardly, do you understand? The fact that you are alive is amazing, so you don't get to say "I'm bored."
If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, you must be the one to write it.

Lush and evocative, yoking together the simplicities and complexities of the world of natural sound and the music inspired by it, this collection includes essays, illustrations, and plenty of sounds and music. The Book of Music and Nature celebrates our relationship with natural soundscapes while posing stimulating questions about that very relationship. The book ranges widely, with the interplay of the texts and sounds creating a conversation that readers from all walks of life will find provocative and accessible.
The anthology includes classic texts on music and nature by 20th century masters including John Cage, Hazrat Inrayat Khan, Pierre Schaeffer, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Toru Takemitsu. Innovative essays by Brian Eno, Pauline Oliveros, David Toop, Hildegard Westerkamp and Evan Eisenberg also appear. Interspersed throughout are short fictional excerpts by authors Rafi Zabor, Alejo Carpentier, and Junichiro Tanazaki.
The audio material for the book, available online at http://www.wesleyan.edu/wespress/musicandnaturecd/, includes fifteen tracks of music made out of, or reflective of, natural sounds, ranging from Babenzele Pygmy music to Australian butcherbirds, and from Pauline Oliveros to Brian Eno.

A Georgia woman says she was glued to a toilet seat at a Home Depot store.
Illyana De La Keur says she was stuck in the bathroom for more than an hour. Her sister captured her rescue on camera.
De La Keur says her pain isn't only physical, but mental as well. She says she doesn't understand the choices local paramedics made. They reportedly used WD-40 to try to remove her skin the toilet.
A spokesperson for Home Depot says they have left two messages for De La Keur as well as sent her a letter. The incident is under investigation.

Look At That!
The Gresham Arts Festival draws thousands from around the region each year to the charming downtown streets to meet, browse and shop from a carefully curated crop of Northwest artists and artisans, ranging from painters, potters and sculptors to woodworkers, photographers, jewelers and more.
The free, family friendly Gresham Arts Festival will be held, July 16th, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and in addition to more than 140 artist booths and a dozen musical acts, the Kids' Village will set up shop at the Arts Plaza. Cool off in the Children's Fountain, unleash your inner snowboarder, be a martial arts master and break some boards, and enjoy arts and crafts, face painting, snow cones, a dunk tank and more.
So, mark your calendars for July 16th and head to Historic Downtown Gresham for the 15th Gresham Arts Festival, a day filled with "Look at that!" art, music, food and fun, turning the city's historic downtown into a giant art gallery.
Over two hundred years ago, our nation was founded upon the ideal of creating a land where freedom would be available to each and every one of its citizens. Every day, citizens across the country experience the advantages and obstacles to American freedom.
What does Freedom Mean to Me? A term defined freedom in three distinct ways. (1) As the absence of external restraint; (2) as the capacity to do what one wishes: (3) as the capacity to do what one ought. Literally, freedom means not in bondage, as stated by Rachel of North Carolina. But thats exactly it! And how privileged we are to live in a country where we are not in bondage, where we can do what we want and what we ought!
Yesterday I was going to watch some TV, but instead, I rode my bike over to the mall and saw a movie. I thought about getting some popcorn, but got a big Kit Kat instead. When it was over, I met some friends and hung around Spencers Gifts. Thats freedom! says Steve from Missouri.
So, here at Gresham Ford, were going to do what we ought and give our customers, Freedom to save, Freedom from Interest and Freedom to Choose! Starting June 24th and running through September 6th, 2016, Ford is offering 0% PLUS Ford Smart Bonus Cash! Come in anytime and have a chat with one of our sales professionals to find out all the details! Save, pay no interest and choose from our great selection of new Ford cars, trucks and SUVs!
Happy 4th of July and dont forget to reflect on ALL our freedoms here in the good ole US of A!!

Father's Day Ford Stories
For many people, cars and trucks are a lot more than just a way to get from place to place. Its not just a mode of transportation, its a lifestyle. Dads come in all different forms, with different strengths and interests. For this Fathers Day, we did a search for some Fathers Day stories from Ford owners. We found this great selection posted by Sean T. Johnston on the FordSocial.com website.
· Kim G. and her dad worked together to get her first Mustang looking sharp - I had an electric blue '68 Mustang with a white vinyl top. My dad bought it for me in 1977. The driver-side quarter panel was full of rust rot. We both wet sanded it, added wire mesh and added the compound. More wet sanding and had it repainted. Came out awesome. My dad passed a year ago. A wonderful memory. Now I've got the black convertible 2004 anniversary issue Mustang! Love!
· Tom S. and his dad pretty much rebuilt a 1967 fastback Ford Mustang from the floorboards - This is my first love, my 67 fastback with a 450-hp 351 Cleveland. My old man bought her for $300 for my 16th birthday. She had to be towed to my dad's garage because she had no motor or trans or floors, fenders, hood, bumpers or much of anything. It took us a good three years, but there she is the best gift/memory anyone will ever give me. My father was amazing. I mean, he owns his own glass shop and has always worked on cars but he basically rebuilt her from the ground up by himself with a little help from me of course. Bodywork, paint, interior, motor and trans rebuilds, right down to the 9-inch rear. I feel blessed every time I drive her and it's a bonding experience I had with my father that will last me forever.
Happy Fathers Day to all the great dads out there!
Bringing Art to the Streets for Gresham
Have you heard of Gresham Outdoor Public Art? It is a nonprofit formed by a group of dedicated citizens to bring public art to our community. The first undertaking of the Gresham Outdoor Public Art organization was to commission a plaque to be placed with a sculpture that has been at the skate park in Main City Park since 2012, without anybody knowing where it came from, said Judy Han, a longtime force in the Gresham art community. On Wednesday, Nov. 11, Veterans Day, GOPA added a plaque that names the sculpture Crash, and the sculptor, Michael DeSimone. The plaque was unveiled on November 11th, 2015.
GOPA has also commissioned a sculpture of a guide dog, a meaningful choice given that Guide Dogs have been in Gresham for years, Han said. The national group, Guide Dogs for the Blind, which has campuses in San Rafael, Calif., and Boring, brings the dogs from Boring to train on Gresham city streets. Cascade Locks artist Heather Soderberg will create the sculpture. Han is also in contact with art students at Mt. Hood Community College to see if some of them would be interested in creating public art for the city. These quotes come from an article by Teresa Carson published in The Outlook. To view the full article: portlandtribune.com
The next project for GOPA is commissioning Don Gray, a nationally renowned muralist, to bring his sketch to life this July on the Jazzy Bagel building wall, corner of Powell Blvd and Main in Gresham. This building originated as Gresham Drug Company's Gresham Rexall Drug in the early 1900's and truly was the heart of our community.
YOU CAN SUPPORT THIS GREAT CAUSE STARTING TODAY, Friday May 20th at their "Funky Junque" Sale behind the Gresham Post Office at 121 NW First Street from 8am-6pm both Friday and Saturday!
Be a part of bringing art to the streets of Historic Downtown Gresham!
Vote Local
It is the Season to Vote and we as citizens of this great Country are so lucky to have this freedom. As a huge proponent of Try Local First I always like to remind folks that each day you get a chance to vote with your dollars. Spending money with local businesses and at local Farmers Markets makes such a huge difference in our local economy and enhances public services such as fire and police thru increased funding.
In our schools for instance, this week we were fortunate enough to present Centennial High School with a check for a little over $4,000 from Ford Motor Company from our Drive One 4 UR School Event. We are just one of many local businesses that provide funds to local schools and non-profits. The Gresham Barlow Education Foundation this week provided over $4,000 to Powell Valley Elementary for nine Chrome Books and other related technology products. Much of the funds from these grants come from local businesses which, at the end of the day, rely on local customers. When you shop local, you support local!
On another voting matter, we as an industry (automotive), are in desperate need of qualified trained service personnel to meet the demands of the technology of this centurys vehicles. The proposed construction via the current bond measure for Mt. Hood Community College will accomplish this for our industry and provide training for other skills so young people in our community will have livable wage jobs. This is a good thing!
Take me out to the Ball Game!
Batter up! Can you believe Gresham has its very own baseball team? And we couldnt be prouder to be one of their sponsors! Right here in our backyard well be rooting for the home boys! And if youre looking to get involved, heres a great way to get up close and personal with some of the countys best and brightest!
As the inaugural season of the Gresham GreyWolves Baseball approaches, nearing a June 3rd Opening Day, the club is searching for interested community members to take part in the GreyWolves host family program. It is an amazing opportunity to be part of these players lives as they strive for their athletic goals.
The GreyWolves are hosting an Informational Meeting, and invite you to attend. Monday, May 2, Origins Coffee House, 600 NW Eastman Parkway, Gresham, 5:30pm – 7:00pm. Team owners Jerry & Lisa Walker along with head coach Justin Barchus will be in attendance to explain the process, answer any questions, and give an overview of the upcoming season as a Host Family.
For more information about the team, the players and their summer schedule, please visit GreshamGreyWolves.com.
On another note, have you noticed all the portraits on the windows of the businesses in downtown Gresham? Elementary school students participate in this annual event by creating portraits of their mothers which are displayed in the windows of merchants throughout Historic Downtown Gresham. Portraits are judged and mothers of the winners are awarded prizes from Historic Downtown merchants. This is an amazing example of community involvement and such a fun event to look forward to every year! For more of whats going on, please visit ExploreGresham.com! Lots of summer fun to come!

The best system out there IS the 360! Nothing comes close. Best games, best online service and best features. Can anyone out there argue this?
360 or PS3? What is your Fav System and Why?

Well having 3 360's die on mePosted: Oct 30, 2010 12:00AM PST by left4deadleo
one of them being the new slim its quite obvious there not the best built consoles.Best exclusives is also a ps3 win.Online service ps3 is free which is another win if you ask me.Id say they both have good points but seeing as im sick of my 360's bricking it ill just be sticking with the ps3 for now.
RE:Posted: Oct 30, 2010 12:00AM PST by Si1verSmoke
Yeah, no lie here I have had a red ring of death but the cool thing is that microsoft has taken care of me each time. Now I am going to have to disagree with you on the PS3 exclusives, if you really think about it what is still theres. Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, Tekken, Metal Gear have all jumped ship. Sucker Punch, the creater of the ratchet and clank seriese has also declared that his complany will now be making cames for the 360. Fable, Halo, Gears and Mass Effect are all top selling games. Well Mass Effect is now on Sony but that is the only franchise that has jumped. Now if you think about the whole pourly built machine thing, well all systems have problems I mean look at the whole disc read error for the PS2.
You make a good point freindPosted: Oct 30, 2010 12:00AM PST by left4deadleo
But like you said mass effect is heading in the way of ps3.Valve are chums again with sony so maybe a left4dead double feature?lol.And i dont really consider xbox truely getting metal gear.Yes they are getting a spin off but i still belive the next true metal gear will be ps3 exclusive.For me games comming for ps3 like Dc universe online,gran turismo,motorstorm 3,uncharted 3,the last gaurdian and so on seem to get me more excited than say the next gears or halo game.But thats just my personal opinion,im sure theres many that disagree like yourself.
look at them like a parentPosted: Oct 30, 2010 12:00AM PST by Wraithseda
buying for her kid and not as a fanboy.
Exclusives are great... if the games appeal to everyone. Halo is a great shooter (I've never played it, but I can see why it's a good game) but it's not the only shooter. Mass effect has a devoted following and part 2 is supposed to be the second coming for 360. But for anyone who wasn't playing the 360 to begin with, then Mass Effect 2 is election day ... we know it's big and everyone talks about it but is it really going to get me off my ass? NO. The only exclusive that seemed to make a difference was in DLC for GTA IV. One whole year for PS3 users to play it. That was it. A one month delay for Modern Warfare 2 DLC wasn't a big deal either. Exclusivity = Draw.
System functionality. This is a big deal. Everyone knows the Red Ring Of Death. And the emrgence of the Yellow Line Of Death (some say it's a red line) for the PS3 has hit some of us. Actually... it has affected only a very small percent of PS3 users. The RRoD however is a cultural phenomenon. Yes Microsoft replaces it's systems .. but they're supposed to! That's not great customer service .. that's the least they could do! And based on the numbers, the system you get as a replacement is likely to red ring as well. PS3's issues, unfortunately, seem to occur after the warranty has expired. This leaves the user with different options for repair. Sony will do it for $150+ s&h. Lame considering there's no diagnostic, which means it can be anything from a full on CPU and board replacement to a simple fan replacement... you just don't know. This issue hasn't affected a lot of users so logically would seem to be a random technical issue, unlike the XBox360's new Elite RRoD package with built-in breakdown feature. Reliablity = PS3. Repair/Warranty = Draw.
This next point was a major selling point for me, and i convinced many people to purchase a PS3 with it. And admittedly Microsoft has learned from its mistake here. Let's start with what your system comes with: Console, power cord, connection to TV, controller, manual, 1 yr warranty (standard). Those are found on all consoles. 360 also had a silver or gold membership to XBox live depending on which version you purchased. You might also receive a game. PS3 did not offer online membership to play games as it was free to play online. Gold and silver plans expired. Some PS3's came with a game or a Blu-Ray movie. The PS3 has a built in HDD drive, 360 had a 100GB HDD add-on for $100. PS3 played Blu-Rays out the box, 360 had an HD-DVD add on for $200. PS3 was Wi-Fi enabled from the beginning or ethernet ready, 360 was not wireless, ethernet cable required for online connection. The PS3 was Bluetooth ready, able to connect to Bluetooth ready devices. The PS3 orignally had 4 different multimedia ports to transfer digital media from SD, Micro-SD, Duo or CF. The ability to connect the PS3 to home networks and its built in multimedia outlets for pics, videos and music made it a natural hub between PCs, laptops, smartphones, printers, digital cameras and your TV. The only thing I recommended to PS3 purchasers that did not come in the box was an HDMI cable for HDTV's. Built-in periphials = PS3.
A lot has changed between launch for the 360. The offereing of multi sized HDD, the Wi-Fi connectivity and the acknowledgement that RRoD was the reason for the mass amount of sales... wait... that last part was just me hoping.
It all comes down to the person... not the console. Personally, I'm tired of people saying one system is better than the other. They're different and built on preferences. What book is better? They're both made from paper and use ink ... it's up to the reader to say which one they prefer. See? Prefer. It doesn't make one book better than the other. Same for consoles.
If it was up to me... I'd do my gaming on the Holodeck.
RE...Posted: Oct 30, 2010 12:00AM PST by Si1verSmoke
I would have to agree, well said.
My vote goes to PS3...Posted: Oct 30, 2010 12:00AM PST by San_Andreas
...but I own both systems. However, I still play Virtua Fighter 5, Tales of Vesperia, and Fallout 3 on 360, but the PS3 is more in line with what I want.
Plus, the PS3's online has gotten good enough to the point where I'm starting to grudge paying for an Xbox Live subscription.

In Doctor Olaf Van Schuler's Brain, we are led down a path of medical quakery, or not, depending on the times - in a series of eerie vignettes designed to highlight a cure of the time while tracing a long line of a family of doctors.
In the beginning we are led by candle light to envision the soul found deep inside the brain inspired by mutilations of creatures in view of clandestine medical studies.
We end up in the more modern day of breast implants, but what lies between is pure astonishment. Each story brings to light the medical treatment for hysteria, craziness, lack of energy, personality testing, and many other maladies.
What is also intriguing and wonderful about this work is the atmosphere it portrays in each story. It carries us through history and historical happenings as they pertain to certain illness and complaints.
The author has done an amazing job at tracing this family of doctors through the decades while generating the feeling and mania involving some of the cures and causes of the disease and problems of each story.
This book will definitely make you think. You may also try to come up with other things that have been used throughout time in the name of modern medicine.
I thoroughly enjoyed this cozy, dark little book and recommend it.
We are treated to in-depth studies of animal magnetism, phrenology, electric shock therapy, and lobotomy as we follow each generation of physician who tries to cure the people around them but who are limited by lack of medical knowledge along with questionable decision making processes. The ambition of the van Schuler/Steenwyckes family is always to cure the madness that appears in every generation, starting with Olaf's mother, and hopefully at the same time to relieve the suffering of society.
Written against the backdrop of major historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Attica Uprising, and the Great Depression, the stories focus both on the limitations of medicine but also on how change is pushed forward by personal emotional need. Quirky, sometimes disturbing, and often disjointed, Doctor van Schuler's Brain is still worth reading for the well researched history of the U.S., New York City, and medicine. But most importantly, it's worth reading for what it teaches us about the humanity of the person behind the white coat and stethescope.

Welly Goes A-Ballin' at Riverview Park
Welington Castillo homered, doubled, and singled, Jesse Hodges doubled twice and walked, and Duane Underwood tossed four innings of no run/no hit ball, as the Kane County Cougars rallied for two runs in the bottom of the 9th to edge the Burlingtom Bees (Los Angeles Angels Lo-A affiliate) 7-6 on Field #3, while the Inland Empire 66ers (the LAA Hi-A affiliate) drubbed the Daytona Cubs 12-3 on Field #6, in Cactus League Minor League Camp action this afternoon at the Under Armour Performance Center at Riverview Park in Mesa, AZ.
Castillo was "visiting" from MLB Camp, getting six Plate Appearances total between the two games. He moved back & forth between the two adjacent fields, serving as an extra DH and getting a PA whenever the opportunity presented itself. The HR was a line drive-blast over the LF fence in the Hi-A game on Field #6, the double one-hopped the CF fence (also on Field #6), and the single was drilled through the 5.5 hole on Field #3. After bouncing out 3-1 and going down on strikes (swinging), Castillo flied out to the warning track in RF in his last AB of the day.
Dillon Maples got the start for the D-Cubs in Field #6, and immediately threw 10 consecutive balls to start the game. Before he was relieved with one out in the top of the 3rd inning, Maples had allowed five runs on two hits (a triple and a single), six walks, an HBP, and two WP.
Duane Underwood on the other hand was absolutely masterful on Field #3, setting down the Bees with minimum difficulty. He mixed his fastball, change-up, and curve very effectively, and never was in trouble in any of his four frames.
The defensive gems of the day were turned-in on Field #3, as CF Rashad Crawford made a spectacular diving catch in left-center after a long run, and then 2B David Bote made a two-out run-saving leaping catch to snare a screaming line-drive seemingly headed for CF (as he jumped higher than he knew how). Both Crawford (who was an outstanding HS basketball player with the nickname "Baby Jordan") and Bote are super-athlectic, and so it's not surprising that they were today's Dynamic Duo of Defense.
Here are the abridged box scores from today's Minor League games at Riverview Park (Cubs player only)

Whenever I see Jackson I think of Corey Patterson. Patterson never looked like he had baseball-type skills. He was a good raw athlete, but didn't look like a baseball player to me. Jackson has a classic "pretty" swing, which may be a way of a guy like me who maybe doesn't know every nuance of baseball of saying he looks good trying, but he just up till now hasn't had it click for him. I assume it's routine for baseball teams to give eye checkups, but sometimes it just seems like he doesn't see the ball. I had bad vision as a kid and had trouble hitting a softball.

r.sweeney is 2/26 with 1 walk (.077/.111)...no x-base hits...and 6Ks.
these are supposedly the cubs 1+2 options for CF (with lake being the majority player) unless they plan on shuffling ruggs (who's having an awesome spring) up to majority CF duty and leaving lake/sweeney to scramble for playing time.
at least there's options and all 3 are expected to make the team...and r.kalish is waiting around as a capable backup...boni can play CF, but offers little else outside of speed and hitting singles as a starter...i don't wanna talk about b.jacKson.
fwiw, lake had a rather good winter ball...could be a small sample size or whatever...not like he's expected to be a superstar anyway. the Ks more than the avg/ob% slash line bothers me, though.

I could literally just watch replays of Javier Baez homers all day long.
I kinda want to see him play
I kinda want to see him play Iowa down here in Round Rock - but I more wanna see him push Theo into a too early call up.
I see this service-time issue
I see this service-time issue becoming HUGE in future negotiations with the players' union. And frankly I agree that holding back players so you have longer club control is bad for the game. Not sure what can be done about it? But it really does suck for the fans and the players . . . especially great players who might be missing an opportunity to log lifetime stats towards HOF careers etc. It'll be interesting to watch in coming years . . . you can already sense the frustration bubbling.
players union doesn't care
players union doesn't care about kids. the number of them losing 50+ games to suspensions over smoking some weed is absolutely asinine. they're not even held to that standard in the bigs.
but yeah, it does suck to see the service time issue held over players...TB has been "abusing" it for years...though "abusing" might be a bit harsh for a team that's operating on their kind of revenue.
either way, situations where kids could/should be up don't materialize too often because of the service clock issue.
"We have always believed that
"We have always believed that the game suffers when teams make roster decisions based on factors other than player performance," union chief Tony Clark told FOX Sports. "The 25 players who give each team the best chance to win should be on the Opening Day roster."
Kind of a FOX Sports puff piece on the subject:
I really like the system they
I really like the system they have in place where guys have to meet certain goals before being promoted. It takes the mystery out of what's going to happen for these younger players. Instead of thinking about whether or not they will get the call up, they can focus on improving their game. Their future is in their hands and based on their performance.
That said, I agree Baez should be in AA/AAA this year. There's no rush. He's not going to put the Chicago Cubs over the top. And I don't think it's going to hurt the game or hurt Baez's career, they just want to protect his value as a prospect and keep him under club control as long as they can.

Ken Davidoff, NY Post...
An industry source told The Post that the Yankees had asked serious Chapman suitors — a list believed to include the Nationals, the Cubs and the Indians, as well as a mystery team — for their best and final offers. While that doesn't clinch a trade of Chapman, the impending free agent, it makes such a transaction darn likely. The Yankees intend to hold onto Miller, who is signed through 2018.
I'm thinking mystery team is the Tigers or Giants
from Iowa yesterday in extended inning starts, Cahill was bad/Matusz was pretty good. Soler (0-3, walk), Coghlan (1-3, double, walk) did play in AA.
That's a hell of a first impression by Montgomery. Brian Cashman having a good laugh on that debut.
...and it's a 3 run homer.
hey, vogelbomb had a HR on his 1st game with SEA AAA, too!

Chris Sale was scratched from tonight's scheduled start due to a clubhouse incident before the game
he was sent home by the team, too. the wsox released a press statement and everything. they stated it was non-physical in nature.
He was scratched from his start today. No reason given.
At the start of the season the book was that he was trying to pitch to more contact so he could stay in the game longer and it seems to be working so far. Contact against is 77.5% this year and it was 70.2% the year before. He averaged 6.7 IP/game last year and so far it's 7 IP/game. His actual pitches per game are only down to 106.1/game from 107.2/game last year but if he's able to go a bit farther into games without throwing more pitches and without giving up more runs that is a good thing.
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.

While not decent, this was admirable for a number of reasons. You even managed to reach OVER 9000 VIEWS and that's something a lot of Clock Day flashes never experience. The best thing was how you acknowledge the fact that you do not have something special planned for this day. With these short skits, you have at least done more than a lot of people I can think of. I am surprised you are not called WobuffetClock. It was just funny to see Wobuffet like that in this cartoon.
That reminds me of how I miss that guy from the latest pokemon anime. Anyway, the best one was probably the first because it had the most variety. That reminds me that my family members have been throwing up a lot lately. Let us hope everything works out for them. May that stock "The End" sound live on forever.

18 reviews | 4.9 out of 5
Value: This is an excellent tripod and includes a carry case. An extraordinary value for such a very, low price.
Strength: Very solid; supports my Nikon D7000 with 70-300m lens without shake or blur.
Flexibility: The legs have the quick-release locks which makes it fast and easy to extend or retract. The leg locks are very secure once locked in place. The tripod also comes with a quick-release plate for the camera. It is also very convenient and easy to use.
Awareness: (I don't necessarily consider these negative since this is an inexpensive tripod, but be aware..) -- 1) The tripod is a bit heavy and not recommended for long hikes. 2) The quick-release plate is convenient, but is proprietary (not Arca-Swiss compatible). If you require another plate, it's difficult to find the plate if searching for it under Vivitar brand; however, the identical plate is made by Sunpak and can be found easily as Sunpak Quick Release Plate for Ultra 757 Tripod.
I have been looking for a tall tripod that can hold my nikon d200 with the external flash without sliding or feeling "wonky". This exceeds my expectations and the price can't be beat. The last one I bought (same brand) for almost 3 times the price a few years ago, and it wasn't as tall. just in case you're wondering why I had to buy a new one within a few years... my old tripod lived in the back of my van and took a beating. It finally broke after one of my kids stepped on it. Great product, great price.
All I can say is, "WOW, WOW, WOW". I can't believe the superb quality of this product for only $39.00. I am a professional photographer and this is a professional tripod. In other stores, this tripod would cost you beyond $100.00. This is the tripod to get.
I have dealt with Vivitar for years although this is my first purchase from them in awhile. They sold out a few years ago -it does not sit well with me. Their customer service department has an English problem. First I love the tripod. It is tall enough and certainly heavy (a good trait in a tripod for a real photographer.) My problem is a full side of the plastic head was broken off. The broken edges were tacky with glue from where the factory hoped to fix it and sell a second at first prices. Customer service insisted that I pay return postage for their broken product. I took it back to Walmart and got a prompt refund. I did go to the Vivitar website and left a message -it has been three weeks with no reply. My plan is to reorder it and check it over very closely. If need be I will order and refund all Winter to get a product that is not broken. They ship it in the colorful shelf box which is not adequate protection for shipping.
This is a sturdy tripod. It is not what you want to backpack with, but it will hold your DSLR and big lens still. The aluminum legs are of significant diameter. The quick release plate is essential for those that want to move their camera rapidly from the tripod to handheld. The pan movement is smooth. The built in levels do their job. The tripod legs have both points and rubber tips at their ends (you screw out the rubber to cover the points if you want. The only concern is the plastic fittings ... but at this price, you cannot expect more. If you are going to play rough with the tripod and sling it about in all weather and temperatures, then get an all metal one. The first tripod I ordered had a plastic part broken in transit (the box had a gash in it) ... so I returned that and reordered (this time it was shipped with another cardboard box outside the regular box the tripod came in and arrived safely). I am quite satisfied.
Great tripod for my purposes. Uneven ground, steady sight, and folds up and stores nicely in case.
I have seen a lot of tripod and most of them are costly , I just took this one and I am so satisfied , stable , pan head is smooth and the overall feel is very good . It is perfect for my Canon 5D Mark II with the 24-105 Lens , I was looking for a stable and long tripod at a good price and this fits perfectly .
I take it on long bike rides with my Nikon D90 and it works great. There are however a few things I would have liked to have seen on this tripod:
1. Detachable head.
2. Shorter body, but retaining maximum height. They could have done this by having shorter legs with 3 releases as opposed to 2.
3. Alternate way to lock the three legs other than the leg brace. The Leg brace doesn't allow the tripod to spread the legs so that the head reaches closer to the floor. This is imperative for low height reflection shots.
4. A shorter head panning handle (or even better, a knob handle), the handle is very long, making it difficult to look at the viewfinder of the camera. However, it can be removed once the head is positioned. I would give this tripod a 4.5/5 because of the points above, but I wouldn't remove a whole star. All in all, I still would recommend this tripod to a friend. However, for an extra $10 you might want to look at the Dolica Floor Standing Tripod, 62". If the 4 points above are deal breakers for you, then a professional $100 tripod (body only) and $50 head might be best.
I had a less sturdy tripod before, I searched online and read and read reviews of tripods, but brought this one. This is a sturdy tripod and it will hold my camcorder in place because the head secures when tightened. I tried to move the head after I tightened it and the head wouldn't move. The legs on this tripod is sturdy. It appears to be a well made product and it has a carrying case. This is an excelland product for the money.
More substantial a piece of equipment than I expected. A good value for the price. I have not used it much yet but expect it will do well. I am 6'4" and a tall tripod is a good thing.
The tripod was shipped in its product packaging only and during shipment punched a hole in the box and subsequently cut a 1-1.5 inch split in the storage bag. The tripod itself was undamaged except for a small burnished spot in the paint on a bracket. In the big picture not a big deal at all.
I bought this for my boyfriends birthday because he left his in another country. It was shipped to him promptly.. He called me so excited to say it is WAY better than the one he had.. He said it is sturdy and a very professional setup.. He is quite pleased with it and thinks I spent a fortune on it! I'll just let him think that, even though the price was awesome! Thanks for such a great product!
I needed a tall tripod to hold a video camera for recording myself playing guitar. This tripod is very sturdy, even at his tallest. For the roughly $40 that it cost, it is a fantastic tripod. I almost bought a more expensive one that was twice the price thinking it would be of my minimum quality, but I took a chance on this one. I don't regret it one bit.
We are very pleased with this new tripod. The various adjustments--height, level, add and remove the camera, etc--are easy to make. The tripod is very stable, and it is a good value for the price.
Well constructed Buy this and you won't regret it, and the price is right! I am 6'4" and I need a taller tripod and this one does the job and some.
I was looking for a tall professional tripod and this fits the bill perfectly. It is excellent and I couldn't ask for a better price!
Finally a Good value for a small price !!
