"Kate was what you wanted, somehow, in this infinitely ironic age. She was the kind of girl about whom other girls used to say, 'All right, so she's thin but,' trying vainly to suss out the appeal. And even now, when her name comes up, and with it the sulky protest it invariably evokes--'She's not that great'--I do not feel compelled to argue in her defense."
Some fiction debuts have remarkably strong stories, some have refreshing new voices, some have perfect cultural timing. The Fundamentals of Play is that literary rarity which has all three.
George Lenhart is, chronically, in love with Kate Goodenow. So is Nick Beale, the working-class son of a Maine lobsterman from the town where Kate spent her childhood summers. So is Chat Wethers, an old-money friend of George's from Dartmouth. And so is Harry Lombardi, a brilliant, startlingly successful, but socially awkward Dartmouth upstart who has been trying to enter this circle for years.
It is George who tells the interwoven stories of these five young people, some of whom, in their lineage or finances, represent the last gasp of the old Northeastern Upper Class. Starting with the year after college, when they all land in Manhattan, George describes the good times and disappointments, ambition and manners, sexual secrets and money-cursed friendships, that have tied these people to one another for a lifetime. He tells of Nick's charismatic past and drug-ridden present, and he shows the snobbery and avarice that lurk in Kate's background--in stark contrast to her ineffable allure. And as George tells these stories (and observes Harry's spectacular rise in the new, as-yet-unnamed phenomenon of the Internet), he implicitly chronicles the end of an era and the emergence of a new definition of class--just as The Fundamentals of Play represents the emergence of a distinctive new talent in American fiction.

Chapter One
It was the year they changed the name on the building that ruins the view down Park Avenue. My firm was midtown-Fordyce, Farley-and I was that lowest form of post-undergraduate life: the first-year analyst. We worked hundred-hour weeks in fabric-upholstered cubicles of four feet by six. The guy in the one next to mine didn't so much as acknowledge me till one morning when he came in late and was compelled to share the latest outrage. "They changed the name!" I was indignantly informed. "They went and changed the name!"
I remember I told Robbins not to worry, that everyone would go on calling it the PanAm Building. I was wrong. Everyone started calling it the MetLife Building. This isn't really important-I certainly never heard anyone try to make a metaphor of it (the change in the city's most visible corporation from airplanes to insurance)-but it stuck in my mind, and it is from that point which I always date my arrival in the city.
I was like any other foolishly young face in pinstripes. I lived on the barren top of the Upper East Side in one of those high-rise dormitories called the Something Arms. My roommate was Geoff Toff-Will Toff's brother, whom I'd known at Dartmouth. Geoff was paralegaling as a means of getting into law school. We didn't live together so much as run into one another in the apartment every couple of weeks. When we did, Geoff was amiable, aggressively amiable, agreeing with my opinions before I had fully uttered them.
"I really think this whole mess about the Long Island-"
"Yeah, yeah, I know-me, too."
The television was Toff's. So was the sofabed, and a large fake-leatherreclining chair from which he affected an ironic distance that I didn't quite believe. I had the stereo and a glass coffee table and hung three prints of the Seine on the wall.
In my bedroom (the smaller of the two; I lost the coin toss) as in the living room the floor was carpeted blue. I slept on a mattress on the floor which I planned to upgrade to a bed. The night I moved in we made spaghetti and jar sauce, and that was the last time either of us opened a kitchen cabinet.
The other day I was depressed to read in the Times that the idea of catching up on sleep is a myth. Nevertheless, I'm planning my Rip-Van-Winkle revenge. I took a poll of some friends of mine, and we all agreed the last time we were well-rested was in 1982. I remember one particular morning that first spring at Fordyce when I discovered myself lying on a stretch of the blue carpet, the ell-shaped inlet which joined my bedroom to the hall. I did not know how long I had been lying there. I believe that I was having a breakdown, from pulling two or three all-nighters in a row, but I don't know-maybe I was upset about something. Eventually I stood up and went to work. It seemed funny to me, in the cab downtown.
But then, everything seemed funny. The money-or the idea of money, for I had none yet-and the hundred-hour work weeks gave the year a wired, comic tinge. It was all such a ruse. One pretended to be an adult and did adult-like things: one had the Journal delivered; one had a morning coffee order. The coffee order-order-was everything. If you imposed enough order on your life you would wake up your boss, you would wake up old, the imposition would no longer be necessary because the habits would be fully acquired. And in our generation we wanted to be old. Not all of us, of course, but among those of us who went to Wall Street, it was a prevalent posture. I personally looked forward to the day when I could creak around in threadbare seersucker and indulge in my baffling idiosyncrasies; when I would be chastised by my wife for sneaking out to the local diner for an old-school, high-cholesterol breakfast. My parents were a little older than most parents with kids my age-closer to World War Two than Vietnam-and I was one of a number of my peers who believed that their generation had gotten it right. And perhaps the habits had stuck all the more in our family because they were all we had been able to hold onto. I hadn't come to Wall Street for nothing.
I thought of calling Kate-of course I thought of calling her-but the time was never right. Monday was too early in the week and Wednesday was too late. The daytime seemed too casual for the initial call, the evenings much too formal. The weekends were impossible. Chat Wethers would know where to find her, but I didn't want to go through him. And in the back of my mind, I cherished the idea of running into her. I had envisioned various settings, each triter than the next-crossing Grand Central, hailing a cab up Park on a rainy night. Then one evening she materialized, right where you would expect her to, at the Town Club, on Sixty-Second Street.
The partner in a deal I worked on took us there the night the company went public. It was the partner and I, a director and two associates, shooting endless after dinner pool in an inner sanctum three or four flights up. My direct boss was the associate Daniels. He was the kind of man who buys the Harvard Business School sweatshirt, the Harvard Business School key chain, and any number of Harvard Business School bumper stickers. He got drunk and said more and more loudly, "You're having a good time now, eh, Lenhart? First time at the Town Club, eh, Lenhart?" Eventually he picked a fight with me over a shot I didn't call, and looking for an excuse to escape the work scene, I volunteered to put him into a cab.
I intended to head home myself, but after hesitating a moment outside, I let myself back into the foyer of the Club. It was well-lit; standing just inside the door you could see up a wide marble staircase which rose for several steps, split in two, curved around a gold bust and rejoined in time to deposit the climber onto a brief mezzanine. Like all stairways, it gave the best view coming down, but the ascending prospect was more enticing because it was in looking up that one anticipated-and correctly-the rewards which lay beyond the mezzanine: ballrooms, there were, and bars.
Contrary to what Daniels had said, it was not my first time at the Club. My grandfather had been a member, and I had childhood memories of drinking Tom Collinses "without the Tom" in the men's bar upstairs. And looking back now on that evening, I'm sure I returned to seek some evidence of our residual belonging: his name on a roster; a face staring out from the photograph of a men's dinner half a century ago; or perhaps his old Chesterfield hanging still in the coat check, the claim forgotten after a particularly raucous night.
But of course there was no coat. My mother wore it now. And as I stood there, looking up the stairs toward a muted, urbane din, the source of which the mezzanine concealed, my disconcerting childhood seemed to creep up and surround me: we didn't, for instance, own our own house. My father ran a tiny pre-adolescent boarding school in western Massachusetts called the Rectory, for sixth through eighth grade boys, of the kind which the last thirty years had nearly wiped out, and so the school provided a house. My grandfather's apartment had been sold years ago, to settle some of his debts. There is a whole host of recuperative fantasies which someone like me swears by, growing up, and even, reflexively, now: I was going to buy back 1100 Madison.... ! Buy back Nantucket... ! And I suppose the Town Club figured in there somewhere as well. In the meantime the running joke between my sister and me was that we had the only kind of money that was respectable these days-the kind that was all gone.

I am not sure how long I had lingered there, just inside the door (with no particular ambition to go forward or back but, rather, simply to be allowed to stay), when upstairs, I heard a loud party come down from dinner and take over the main bar. Then over the sound of men's voices, I heard a girl laugh. "I'll see if I know anyone," I thought. When I got to the top of the stairs, I turned to see if I could tell who it was laughing. There were a couple of others who were passing with me, and they paused, as well, and turned to look. It was impossible not to follow that laugh to its source.
A group of men her father's age with big old fashioned glasses in their hands were standing in a circle around my old friend Kate Goodenow. I remember, in the moment before she saw me, I had a dread that Kate wouldn't recognize me, and it seemed to me it took her face an instant too long to change. Then she cried my name.
All fears washed away, I stepped forward to embrace her.
"Why, it's the most fun possible," Kate murmured gravely into my ear.
With us both there, the men seemed to remember themselves, or their collective age, and rather than be introduced they turned in a single motion toward the bar.
She was all grown-up in a navy suit with a sprout of scarf blossoming out from the neck. The cut of the suit was too severe to be becoming, but then Kate had never been stylish, really-I judged I could say that having seen Paris. Like a lot of thin girls, the clothes tended to wear her.
"I've been looking all over town for you," I said.
"And where all over town did you expect to find me?" she replied steadily, with those eyes that were neither bored nor bright. She was as tranquil as she ever was, and I suppose I had known she would be. That was why it wouldn't have done any good to seek her out. One wasn't allowed to want things of Kate. I had meant to "catch up," for instance, and in a hurry, but against my intent was Kate's demeanor-denying that there was any catching up to be done.
"I've been in Paris, you know," I said, anyway-to establish myself somehow.
"Really? I've been right here every minute."
"Then it suits you to be home," I said.
For though Kate was not beautiful, it was a fresh face, to which you found yourself applying old adjectives-she had been called "game" for instance. "Attractive" wouldn't work, either. Attractive tells a slightly different story. The preternaturally pale boy who turned, presently, from the bar would not have gone around with "attractive" women. In the first place, he wouldn't have found them attractive. He had to squint at me through the wire-rims
"Lenhart! Christ almighty!"
-and then I was wringing hands with my college roommate, Chat Wethers.
"It's about time you turned up! I thought we'd lost you to the semi-demi-hemi-monde. Didn't I say, Kate, George'll shack up with some Frenchie, start wearing berets, heh-heh?"
Chat's bank had sent him to China for three months, but he was back in New York now. "Business school applications-they're hell, George! What am I supposed to write about a major setback I've encountered? You tell me. The time the Diesel died on the way to Vermont? But maybe I won't go next year. I don't know. See if my recommendations pan out. Otherwise do a third year-"
"I'll bet George wouldn't do a thing like that for a living," interrupted Kate, without raising her voice. "Would you, George?"
"I'm afraid so," I confessed.
Chat drained his glass. "They got you, too, Lenhart?"
I nodded. "Corporate finance. Fordyce, Farley."
"What about the ex-pat plan?"
"I just couldn't-I don't know," I started, struggling toward an articulation I myself had not quite formed.
But Chat nodded as if he understood. "I know exactly what you mean," he asserted. "You think Paris was tough. "
"No, not exactly-"
"Try China, George-Chengdu, China. Two western bars in the whole town."
"Yeah?" I couldn't picture it till Chat added, "One newsstand." Then an image came to mind of a tall, oblique scowl-on-legs trying to get hold of a Journal in a remote Eastern city, then settling grudgingly when by some miracle somebody produced a day-old Trib. He had always been bent on travel, yet travel without any wish for, or-my mistake-pretense of assimilation. I guess he was the old sort of American abroad.
I had stories to tell and was about to expand on my own travels, when Kate announced, looking pleased with herself: "If someone gave me the chance to go anywhere in the world, do you know where I'd choose?"
"Where?" said Chat and I.
"I'd choose Maine. I'd choose Cold Harbor, Maine. I'd choose it over France, Italy, Spain-" She ticked continental Europe off on her fingers. "Is that horrible of me? Is that the most horrible thing you've ever heard?" Her gray eyes looked happily from one to the other of us for confirmation.
"I'll drink to that," Chat said curtly.
"You?" Kate said, affecting scorn. "You were hardly up at all last summer. George, he was hardly up at all-can you believe that?"
"I work, Katie, remember?" Chat said, and gave me a burdened look that seemed to say: "Women!"
And yet from the inflection he put on the word I got the sense that the job remained a novelty. "Guess what, George?" he'd announced our senior spring, with the air of someone who has done something rather devilishly clever: "I got a job."
"Now who's having what?" Chat inquired kindly, rattling the ice in his glass. "George? What are you drinking now, straight Absinthe, heh-heh?"
Kate's patriotic provincialism-and Chat's cinematic picture of Paris, with men in berets drinking liquers-went down like a cool tonic after my sojourn across the pond.
We had settled on something, when Kate got a silly look on her face, like when she was going to tell a joke. "No, Chattie," she said. I have a better idea."
"George will have a vodka and lemonade."
"A Popov and lemonade," Kate went on, making her voice silly and dreamy. "Dining hall lemonade. Dining hall lemonade mixed in an athletic department water bottle. "
"Oh, yes," I said warmly, catching on. She was referring to a habit of ten years earlier. Kate and I had gone to boarding school together; I had met Chat in college based on our mutual acquaintance. Or, to put it more precisely, our friendship there had been predicated on my knowing her.
"Will you have one, too?" I asked quickly, flattered by her turning this into a landmark, and in front of Chat.
"Of course," she laughed.
"One quart you mean," I supplied.
"Yes! And if I drink too much-!"
"If we should get sick you mean-"
"Why, we'll go and vomit our guts out behind the science building!"
"I don't want to hear about you and George behind the science building!" Chat bawled. "Wouldn't surprise me if you did want vodka and lemonade!
"I'm telling you, George," he went on, petulant, gesturing with his empty glass, "I don't know what anyone drinks anymore. In China, it's one thing, get a little tropicallee-but I swear, the next corporate tool I hear order a 'Kamikaze,' I'll -"
"I want a Sex-on-the- Beach!" cried Kate. "I want an 'Orgasm'!"
"Don't say that word, Katie. I hate that word. You know I hate that word."
"Get me an Orgasm!"

"They should never have let women into the Town Club," said Chat gloomily.
"Oh, have they?" I said. I meant this to be ironic somehow-as if I would know the inner workings of the admissions policy-but the irony was lost on Kate.
"Well, not really," she said seriously. "Only till we're thirty. "
"Then what?"
"Then we have to marry in or we're out."
"Put out or shut out," they both said, and they both gave half a laugh.
Chat took himself off to the bar.
Alone with Kate, I was suddenly self-conscious, as if I had forgotten my lines in a play. Their particular brand of droll urbanity was not entirely new to me, but it was the first time I'd seen them in situ, as it were, and their casual indifference to the setting made me feel like a very young boy with shiny shoes and his hair slicked down, who has been allowed to make an appearance at the adults' party before going to bed.
I thought again that Kate and I might talk, for real, but she said, rather annoyed, "Did you hear Jess Brindle was engaged, George?"
"No, I hadn't," I said.
"Yes, but she broke it off."
"Oh, good," I said, glad of this, for some reason, though this was the first I had heard of the girl.
"Yes, bit of a ... random choice..."
Then Kate proceeded to give several more names I had never heard and to account for their whereabouts. Marnie Pall was in town, and her cousin Dick had married Loribelle Betz, up in Maine, and Granny had gotten drunk at the wedding-which was a rather elaborate affair-and Granny had said, "That girl is climbing as fast as she can, isn't she?" and it was very embarrassing....
I heard it said once, by whom I can't recall, that true beauty always has one flaw. As Kate went on, blithely chattering, I fell into the habit I had of looking for that flaw-the thin lip or the feature out of place-which might have meant her entry into that elite society. And yet, those frank good looks of hers had always seemed to suggest that there was something distasteful about beauty, something a little tacky about a quality that by its very nature draws attention to itself, like coming overdressed to a party, or throwing a black-tie wedding in the country. But Kate-Kate was what you wanted, somehow, in this infinitely ironic age. She was the kind of girl about whom other girls used to say, "All right, so she's thin but-" trying vainly to suss out the appeal. And even now, when her name comes up, and with it the sulky protest it invariably evokes-"She's not that great"-I do not feel compelled to argue in her defense. That was the whole point: she didn't have to be.
"You're not still with that one girl, are you?" she wanted to know.
"Hmm. What else do you want to know?"
Kate thought, frowning. "What you ate for breakfast."
"Poached eggs on toast," I lied, finally getting up to speed.
She liked it. "Where did you eat a poached egg? Where did you get a poached egg?"
"In my kitchen."
"You poached the egg yourself, George? How did you learn to poach eggs?"
"My mother taught me."
"She did? I wish my mother-"
"Come over some time; I'll make you one."
"Breakfast date?" she said curiously. "Do you think Chat would approve? You know he and I are supposed to be engaged," she added then, as if it were an afterthought, and she grinned.
"I lied," I admitted suddenly. "I didn't eat breakfast."
"You didn't?"
"No, I just had coffee. That's all I ever have."
"That truly disappoints me."
"I meant to say-best wishes."
"Oh, it's not ... official," she said. For some reason this made both of us laugh. There was no promise in Kate's laughter; in fact it was just the opposite note that seemed to resound, an expression of utmost faith in today, of total absorption in the moment as it passed. "You know, George, the main thing is to have fun," she asserted suddenly.
"I don't know," I said after a moment. I put my hands in my pockets and took them out again. "It's just New York, I guess. I'm still getting used to it."
"I understand completely," Kate said. "Isn't it dirty and awful?"
"Yes," I said.
"But it's fun," Kate continued. She had a way of making platitudes like that sound fresh. "It's so, so, so, so fun. You just go out and everyone's around and-and you don't have any homework. It's just so nice not having any homework."
"Oh, Kate."
"And you know, George," she murmured confidentially, "what else would we be doing? We have nothing better to do, do we? Or ... ? I should speak for myself, shouldn't I? I have nothing better to do." She said this very happily. "Do you?"
"Well, sometimes I work about a hundred hours a week," I said.
"Right," Kate replied. "Work-play-That's what I mean."
Presently Chat returned with the drinks.
"Cheers, then," I said, making an effort to rally. This was cardinal with Kate; one always "rallied." I think she had invented the word, at least in this context. She and Chat lived by certain imperatives, such as, "You have to rally," and "You never bail out on a scene" and the principle, when throwing parties, of never running out of tonic.
"To what?" said Chat, drinking off the top of his glass.
"Well-to our generation," I said. "Because we have nothing better to do."
Chat, good sport-best sport-laughed a little too hard.
We stayed for two more. Waiting at the coat check, I cursed the middle of the week. There were not five minutes to turn into an hour to turn into a night out. "Get used to it, buddy," Chat advised. "I'm telling you. I did. All anybody did in China was drink and work."
"I'll bet," I said.
"Guys getting plastered-American guys-same goddamn two bars every night. Pure liver torture." He eyed me, seemingly on the brink of a confidence. Perhaps these many months apart were what made him hesitate. But, then, our friendship in college had been born not of late night intimations, but of certain fundamental agreements about how things ought to be done. "Tell you, Lenhart, it's different over there," Chat said finally
"What's different?"
"The drinking."
"Same thing as here, same as school, but it's different." "Come on," I said, "a hangover's a hangover."
But he replied coldly, "No-I'm not talking about that."
"What, then?" I really couldn't guess what he was getting at.
"It's like-it's-well, you work so hard, you know, and you're all alone over there." Chat took off his glasses and polished them on his shirttails. "You end up hanging around with people you wouldn't hang around with here," he said.
"Kind of ... random sometimes."
"I'll tell you who I ran into."
"Over there? Who?"
He hooked his glasses back on and ran a hand through the colorless strands. I remembered his saying in college, "See, some men thin and some men recede but my dad did both and so will I-I'm doubly fucked," and laughing then, too, because of his many vanities, physical beauty was not one, or if it was, he saw it as so far beneath himself he would no sooner indulge it than sleep off a hangover.
"Hell with it, I didn't just run into him," Chat said finally, looking me in the eye as if making a decision to come clean about a crime. "I'm not going to lie, why should I? Truth is, I spent time with him. I drank with him nearly every night." There was another fraction of a pause before he pronounced the name, a fraction of a pause during which Chat and I were alone in the foyer, waiting for Kate, in a kind of disgruntled sympathy that was the usual state of things between us. Then he said: "Lombardi."
"Harry Lombardi? My God."
It was the last person on earth I would have expected Chat to name, and I hardly knew how to react. But Chat seemed to take my remark for general derision, and he gave a harsh, approving laugh. "He surfaced, George! Reinvented himself as a venture fucking capitalist! Hi-tech venture cap. who would have thought? Ambitious, evidently."
"But-of course," I said. "We always knew that."
"We did? I didn't. I had no idea."
I had to think he was joking, but the long blank face was void of humor. The unbelievable, and sometimes delightful, thing about Chat's myopia was how astoundingly vast it was in scope. Rumors of Lombardi's success had reached me even in Paris.
"Guy had quit his job-was knocking around China for kicks, Lenhart-finds this electronics factory takes it over-By the time Broder sends me over he was king of the goddam hill! All these factory manager guys were like, No, Mis'Lombardi, Yes, Mis'Lombardi-"
"You mean you worked together?"
Chat nodded. "You know he'd been at Broder, too?"
"God," I said, trying to get my head around it, "that's some crazy coincidence." I was only voicing the obvious, and yet this element of the encounter hardly seemed to have occurred to Chat.
"You think?" he said with a shrug. Then, seized by a fit of impatience, he drummed the coat check on the counter. "Gilberto! You dozing in there? We need our jackettos, guy!"
We shrugged into our overcoats. I'm sure I would have grilled him about Lombardi then and there if hadn't been another, much more pressing question I wanted answered. "How long have you and Kate been going out?" I asked, as if the answer would shed light on their relationship, as on any old couple's.
Chat guffawed. "Three months? Fifteen years? Hell, if I know! You think she deserves the ring?"
I was saved from answering when Kate herself emerged from the ladies' room, the long blond bob curving to her shoulders. Chat got her into her camel's hair with a neat toss and watched her button it up. The expression on his face-it wasn't affection, it wasn't remotely affection. It was the way I'd seem him, a thousand times, look at himself in the mirror after shaving-with approval, for a job done if not perfectly, then well enough. He approved of her, that was all.
I followed them through the revolving door. I felt as if my thoughts were spinning, too, trying to catch up with what I had learned. I wasn't so much crushed by Kate's announcement as I was conscious, again, of my own backwardness. Until then I hadn't been aware that people could-well, bore themselves into marriage engagements, was the way it struck me. Why now? When she had known Chat her whole life?
Outside it occurred to me that I had not asked Kate what she was doing.
She pretended to be offended. "I work, George."
"Oh, right-you and Meems and Annie Roth," Chat interrupted, chuckling, with a wink in my direction. "They're in the art business, George. They're all-"
"You're extremely funny tonight, Chat-"
"I'm in American paintings, George, at Sotheby's."
"You work, Kate Goodenow," Chatland Wethers sententiously pronounced, "because you live in an age when it is considered appropriate for rich American girls to work."
He would get drunk and come out with things like that. But, also drunkenly, I felt that this made sense of the whole evening, much more so than their putative engagement.
We walked to the corner, and Chat hailed a cab going uptown. Most men would hold a taxi door for a girl but Chat knew better: he did the slide himself.
"We'll drop you off, George," offered Kate. "Chat? We'll drop George off."
"Sure, hop in."
"Oh, no," I said quickly, "I want to. Walk."
"Shoot yourself, Lenhart."
Kate cranked the window down. "Sure we can't take you somewhere?" she called. They were very polite, the two of them. They were always very polite. When I declined a second time, Kate said warningly, "You know, you won't be able to hide your mysterious double life from us forever!" and I forced a laugh, too late to hide the solemnity that had stolen across my face. I remember, as their cab sped off and I started on my solitary way uptown, a resolve I made to do better the next time. With Kate I was forever trying to live up to an ideal, but when you considered what that ideal was, it made no sense at all, my striving: it was an ideal of carelessness.
The next week at work I reached into my suit pocket and drew out a cocktail napkin with the Town Club logo crumpled across the front. I tossed it into the wastebasket, only to retrieve it, a moment later. I smoothed it out and stuck it in the top drawer of my desk. I think I kept it because it made me think of luck. They were the most conservative people I knew, and yet I walked home that evening thinking the two of them seemed to represent everything that was worthwhile in the city, everything that was respectable, solid, even hopeful.
Their lack of ambition struck me as wonderfully smart against the vulgar striving I witnessed by day. My own ambition for Kate suddenly seemed vulgar as well, like a bold, alcohol-induced comment that one would never make sober. How much better, it seemed, to have her taken, and to get the two of them in one package, so we could all have a lot of fun together. I wasn't exactly sure what she meant by fun, but I did know that I felt as if I had been running in a boring, drawn-out race called "New York"-until that evening-when my old friends stopped me and pointed out the rest of the fair. And if Chat and Kate said it would be more fun over there, then I believed them. They had grown up here, after all, whereas I had just arrived.

This book gives a great characterization of how college grads or young adults as the politically correct live their lives right out of college. I love the vivid details and the descriptions and dialogs. I really like the conversations that the characters have at the beginning of the book at the bars they goto. What is great about this book is that it is real, its reality, people really do act like this. Believe me, I was once like it, or I still might be.

Seattle DOT replaced a street paving panel after we had sewer collapse repair done. That was months ago and we have not recieved a bill. Is there a time limit in which the city must present a bill. If they don't present it within the time limit, do we still owe the money?

It may be that there is no specific regulation regarding the time limit in question, if any. Normally, the soul of the law is reason.

STOCKTON — Volunteers will join forces on Saturday to spruce up the Calaveras River in the annual "Polar Bear Cleanup."

Parliament of Australia

Current section pages
My Parliament
You are here:
If you're a present, past or future TAFE student the House of Representatives Education and Employment Committee wants to hear from you. The committee has launched a survey as part of its investigation into the TAFE system and its operations.
The survey is aimed at getting an overview of what students believe are the most important areas of the TAFE system, how they believe their qualifications are recognised, and any shortfalls that they see the TAFE system has.
Committee Chair Ewen Jones said students' opinions are a valuable part of the inquiry, especially as they are the future of the Australian workforce.
"It is important to capture how students feel about their TAFE system. Students are future employees, managers and business owners and an integral part of this inquiry is to support them to achieve their education and employment goals," he said.
"Feedback from students via this survey will enable the committee to gain a different insight into the TAFE system that could be lacking through other evidence gathering methods."
All present, past and future TAFE students are encouraged to partake in the survey which can be found on the committee's website or go direct to the survey.

Unanswered: Sencha List is not loading in Android 4.1 Jellybean - Nexus
We have a strange bug in our sencha 1.1 app: We have screens having lists. So far so good. We already have this screen since a long time in our app, but now we have a problem on android 4.1 or rather the galaxy nexus: the list is not fully rendered and because of that the list is not loaded. When we change the scroll property of the list to false the list is loading. The strange thing is on our other android devices and the iPhone it works without any problems, and in the browser and android emulator it works also.
Did anyone can help ?

SAN ANDREAS - A bill by State Sen. Cathleen Galgiani, D-Stockton, that would have required state agencies to notify the public of workshops and hearings on proposed new regulations was watered down this week.
Galgiani's SB176 would have required notices of hearings, workshops and other public-comment opportunities related to any new regulation be published in the California Regulatory Notice Register.
Amendments made Tuesday, however, removed that requirement. Instead, the bill allows agencies to comply with a much more vague requirement that they "involve parties who would be subject to the proposed regulations in public discussions."
An agency that regulates a particular industry, for example, would direct its outreach to that industry. Advocates for greater government transparency had hoped to have a one-stop shop for finding opportunities to comment on any new proposed state regulations.
Law does require proposed regulations to be published in the Regulatory Notice Register, but not notices of all the workshops, hearings and other meetings where the details of new regulations are usually developed.
Galgiani's amendment to her bill would slightly strengthen one aspect of the bill - the requirement for outreach to parties subject to a regulation would apply to all regulations, regardless of their complexity. Law requires such outreach only for "complex" proposals.
According to a Senate floor analysis of the bill, it is supported by 20 industry groups including the Western States Petroleum Association, the California New Car Dealers Association and the California Association of Realtors. The Sierra Club opposes the bill.

Glenwood's $5 million outdoor aquatic center, located adjacent to the auxiliary gymnasium at Glenwood Community High School, will open to the public following a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday afternoon, July 8.
Mary Gunderson, a longtime advocate for the outdoor swimming pool project, said the dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony will begin at 12:30 p.m.
The pool will open around 1 p.m.
The third annual Blues & Brews festival will take center stage Sunday in Glenwood.
The celebration of Blues music and Iowa craft beers has become an Independence Day tradition and is expected to attract hundreds of visitors to Glenwood Lake Park.
"It's a fundraiser for the Mills County Trails System," organizer Randy Romens said. "It's been a success, but we couldn't do it without the volunteers and the corporate sponsors we get. The sponsors make it possible."
More than 500 participants in the ninth annual "Bikers For Boobies" poker run converged on Glenwood Saturday afternoon to help raise money for the fight against breast cancer and to bring awareness to the disease.
Glenwood's Keg Creek Brewing Co. was one of five stops on the event that began in Omaha and passed through southwest Iowa before concluding Saturday night in Ralston, Neb.
Jerad Getter admits he and his staff at the Mills County Conservation Office are not only proud, but "pretty darn excited" about their new conservation and nature education building on the grounds of Pony Creek Park.
"We're thrilled to be in here and we're excited about getting the public out here," Getter said.
Love's is coming to Mills County. The Oklahoma-based Love's Travel Stop and Country Store is in final negotiations to purchase a parcel of land along Highway 34 and 188th Street to build a truck and travel stop.
Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds got a first-hand look at one of the cottages on the Glenwood Resource Center that will be part of the Glen Haven Village skilled nursing facility during a one-hour whirlwind tour of the GRC campus Tuesday, May 31.
Branstad and Reynolds also toured the On With Life brain injury treatment center and made a brief stop at Hospice With Heart, also located in a cottage on the GRC campus.
Rural Glenwood horse trainer Logan Allen, who created a social media firestorm last month when he posted photos on his Facebook page of some controversial training methods, will not be charged with animal neglect.
Allen, 29, a former first prize winner at the Iowa Horse Fair Colt Starting Challenge, posted three photos on his Facebook page showing a horse with its legs bound, laying on its side, while a hose sprays water on the horse's face and body.
The Glenwood City Council approved an ordinance regarding permits and fees for activities associated with RAGBRAI.
The action came during the council's regular meeting Tuesday, April 26. Other RAGBRAI topics were addressed as well.
Permits, Fees
All of the fees and permit regulations are outlined in the ordinance, which is published as a legal notice in today's edition of The Opinion-Tribune.
The city of Glenwood is receiving two grants totaling $15,000 to assist with the start-up of the Glenwood Aquatic Center and city council members heard last Tuesday night how that money will be spent.
They also heard about pricing for the coming season, which is expected to begin about July 1 and last for half a normal season.
Mary Gunderson of the Glenwood Aquatic Center Committee made a presentation regarding the grants. One was for $10,000 from Ash Grove and the other was for $5,000 from Casey's, which is paying $1,000 per year.
MALVERN – Five years in the making, members of the Mills County Fair Association and more than 60 supporters and dignitaries helped break ground Thursday afternoon on the Charles E. and Florence M. Lakin Community Center.
The $2.75 million facility will be built on the north end of the Mills County Fairgrounds.

Acting Sergeant Phil Hamlin, of Queenstown, said yesterday
indications were the 24-year-old driver of the Toyota
Highlander lost control on State Highway 6 and failed to take
a bend on the southern approach to the Wye Creek bridge
between 3am and 5am, crashing through a roadside barrier.
''The vehicle has then continued through scrub before
plunging an estimated 30m into the Wye Creek ravine,'' Acting
Sgt Hamlin said.
''The two male occupants were able to escape the vehicle and
one managed to scramble up to the road and flag down a
passing motorist.''
Because of his injuries, the driver was unable to reach the
road, so a helicopter was requested, St John Queenstown
station manager Craig Downing said yesterday.
''They were clearly distressed about what had happened and
very cold from not only their car landing in the water, but
from that time of the morning,'' Mr Downing said.
''They were treated for mild hypothermia at the same time.''
Traffic on State Highway 6 was delayed briefly to allow the
helicopter to attend.
The driver is believed to have suffered leg and possible
internal injuries and the 22-year-old passenger minor
injuries. One of the men was discharged from Lakes District
Hospital last night while the other remained in hospital.
A police serious crash investigator arrived from Invercargill
yesterday and inquiries into the crash are continuing.
Sgt Hamlin said it is too early to say what caused the crash.
However, it appeared both men were wearing seat belts and
police say these undoubtedly prevented further injuries.
Emergency services from Frankton, Kingston and Queenstown
''The rescue effort was a collaboration by all the emergency
services and without all of us playing our part extraction of
the patient would have been extremely difficult,'' Mr Downing

Responding to concerns expressed by members of Congress about its forthcoming privacy policy consolidation, Google on on Monday sent a 13-page letter to eight members of the House of Representatives.
Pablo Chavez, Google's director of public policy, characterized the letter in a blog post as an attempt to clear up confusion about what the company is trying to do by combining more than 60 separate privacy policies into a single policy and similarly unifying multiple terms of service documents.
When Google last week announced its intent to clean up its privacy policies on March 1, Google privacy director for products and engineering Alma Whitten explained that the company "may combine information you've provided from one service with information from other services." This will allow service personalization in one Google service to be informed by data from a different Google service, and hopefully provide a better user experience across products.
As an example, Google in its letter notes that its current privacy policies would not allow it to recommend cooking videos on YouTube to a signed-in user who had previously been searching for cooking recipes.
[ Google's service policies don't please everyone. Read Google+ Name Policy Leaves Users Unsatisfied. ]
Harmless though that may sound, Google's plan has elicited concern from government officials, in part because Google is under the microscope at the moment. Regulators in the U.S. and Europe are presently investigating whether the company is conducting its search business in an anti-competitive manner. Google has also invited such scrutiny through the introduction of a search feature called Search plus Your World, which mixes Google+ posts and images in Google search results, to the potential detriment of competitors like Facebook and Twitter.
Congressman Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), among others, issued a statement last week questioning how much control Google users have over their personal information and asserting that users must be able to decide whether they want their information shared across Google services.
Google's letter assures lawmakers that its commitment to protecting the privacy of its users has not changed and that the upcoming changes will lead to a better experience for users. At the same time, the letter confirms that users will not be able to opt-out of the forthcoming change.
"If people continue to use Google services after March 1, they'll be doing so under the updated privacy policy," the letter states in response to a question about the possibility of opting out. "The use of a primary privacy policy that covers many products and enables the sharing of data between them is an industry standard approach adopted by companies such as Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, and Apple."
But the letter goes on to point out that more than 30 Google services, such as Google Search and YouTube, can be used without signing in to a Google Account, thereby precluding the collection of personal data beyond the user's IP address.
It also points out some of the tools Google provides to help users control how their personal information is stored and used, like Google's Dashboard and Ad Preferences Manager, the privacy features supported in Chrome and Gmail, and the company's Data Liberation service, which provides a way to export most Google data.
How can companies find and fix vulnerabilities before they lead to a breach? Better yet, how can software developers identify flaws in their applications before the new software is ever deployed? In this report, Eliminating Vulnerabilities In Enterprise Software, Dark Reading offers a look at some tips and tricks for software development and vulnerability assessment. (Free registration required.)
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Most Helpful
easy, delicious, and satisfying! I'll definitely add this to my repertoire.
I made this soup with leftover bones and meat from a roast chicken. I use dried shitake mushrooms because the flavor is concentrated. I also added about a tablespoon of soy sauce, a thumb sized piece of peeled and crushe ginger, and i/2 cup washed raw rice at the beginning and simmered the bones and stock until the rice was done. Then I added the watercress. Since the rice thickens the soup I did not need cornflour. I also cannot find cornflour. Cornstarch is usually used as a thickener in Chinese cuisine. Thanks for a great recipe
Nice flavors - comforting, but full of variety. I sort of made this soup: I used tofu! It was still pretty good even with the tofu, but I think it would be better with the chicken in it. I also used fresh shiitake mushrooms and found that it might have been better to cook those for longer than 2 minutes at the beginning.

Please help. I need to know if there is a way or plugin that will allow to insert the WordPress login window to different site.
I have this client who has a landing page and wants to have that functionality.
The landing page is completely different than the WP installation, it may even be in a different server.
So you go to the landing page and you will see a username and password boxes that, when info is entered, will get you to the WP site.

American Profligacy and American Power
The Consequences of Fiscal Irresponsibility
The U.S. government is incurring debt at a historically unprecedented and ultimately unsustainable rate. The Congressional Budget Office projects that within ten years, federal debt could reach 90 percent of GDP, and even this estimate is probably too optimistic given the low rates of economic growth that the United States is experiencing and likely to see for years to come. The latest International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff paper comes closer to the mark by projecting that federal debt could equal total GDP as soon as 2015. These levels approximate the relative indebtedness of Greece and Italy today. Leaving aside the period during and immediately after World War II, the United States has not been so indebted since recordkeeping began, in 1792.
Right now, with dollar interest rates low and the currency more or less steady, this fiscal slide is more a matter of conversation than concern. But this calm will not last. As the world's biggest borrower and the issuer of the world's reserve currency, the United States will not be allowed to spend ten years leveraging itself to these unprecedented levels. If U.S. leaders do not act to curb this debt addiction, then the global capital markets will do so for them, forcing a sharp and punitive adjustment in fiscal policy.
The result will be an age of American austerity. No category of federal spending will be spared, including entitlements and defense. Taxes on individuals and businesses will be raised. Economic growth, both in the United States and around the

I hate these sliders because of the unbearable discomfort of the plastic "spikes" I have no idea how anyone would like anything but a smooth surface under his feet. I couldn't wear these sliders more than an hour! My feet sere sore for the rest of the day! ... read more
I bought these for my husband and brother in law. They both are raving about how comfortable they are, while also looking good. The suede material and subtle design are nice - especially for slides. Sizing is a bit long - my husband usually wears a 14 in running shoes, but the 13 fit him well. The size 9 for my bro-in-law fit him like his usual 9. Totally awesome - might buy for myself now! ... read more
I'm a woman who fit a size 6 mens. Womens sandals I found ugly and I wanted plain styles. Maybe consider more unisex sandals and I am from Canada and the sizing was only 8 men's available a little frustrating. ... read more
I LOVE these new adilette slides; I have never worn anything that was this comfortable before. I have lower back pain and when running errands or going to the store; I need to wear shoes that are comfortable. I live in Texas so who wants to wear socks and then put on shoes in 100 degrees heat. I wore slides prior to these; but my back always would always hurt me after a fairly short trip to the store. Not with these new bad boys slides! I now wear them all day everyday. I bought the black one and I will order the grey one too to rotate until more colors come out. In short; thank you ADIDAS for making the most comfortable, and the most sleek looking slides in the market. ... read more
My son likes the feel, look, everything is fine except we finally tracked down where the cat urine smell was coming from... these slides! I'm really curious if others have had the same experience with the rubber soul smelling like urine. Seriously, not joking. ... read more
The older models used to have a thicker fabric beneath the foot strap that prevented any rubbing/irritation but the news ones fail to have this cushioning. I guess the old adage of "they don't make them like they used to" still applies. ... read more
I'm a size 6.5 with more so narrow-ish feet. These slippers, although very cute and comfy run pretty big. I found it disappointing they only come in full sizes (4, 5, 6, etc.) and no half sizes. I went with a size 7 because of what other wrote in their reviews (running too small, etc) and I had to return them for a 6 which fits well but it's still pretty wide. Hope this helps! ... read more
I am a Adidas junkie from shoes to clothes. I love how the "nubs" make my flat feet tingle after I take them off. I even think it has something to do with my lower back feeling better. Im on my feet all day with my espresso business, and its sort of like a "reflexology feel" when you get a message. Thanks as always! ... read more
This slide are the most comfortable sport slide/sandals I have purchased the benefit of the footbed in which is provided with this product instantly brought comfort. I am size 12 with other trainer brand, size 12 with all shoes but I normally by 13 in slides/sandals. I purchased this in 14 and it was dead fit so I returned and then purchased this product in a 15 and it was perfect fit. ... read more
The slide were very comforting. Also, the materials last longer than any other slide I have ever had. The size though for me was a little big, my foot was close to the toe box. But overall my thoughts are very impressed and good. ... read more
These slides are brilliant. They're so convenient for so many things! Perfect to wear before and after my football matches and the comfort is second to none. Highly recommend to anyone interested in buying a pair. Also great for just enteral lounge wear around the house. ... read more
I have these slides in the red, black & Blue and honestly these are the best "I'm off to steal your guy/girl" fit. Omg. I literally wore them everywhere. Honestly I would wear them to my wedding if there was a bridal edition. They are so comfortable and look good with everything. The material is super durable. I've had the black ones for over a year now and they still look new. Worth the £19!!!! ... read more
aesthetically the slide looks good. For the record my foot has always fit well in Adidas sneakers do to the narrow nature of my foot. For some reason these slides are rubbing the outside of my pinky toes on both sides so much that my toes almost feel bruised when I put on normal sneakers. I am a little disappointed since I have been wanting a pair of these since I was a kid (now 35). ... read more

The Arsenal winger/striker Theo Walcott has reached his target of 20 goals this season, despite lapsing in and out of form all season, and he capped it off with the winner against QPR after just 20 seconds this weekend.
Tag Archives: improved
Wenger – Walcott is now the complete player for Arsenal
The Arsenal winger Theo Walcott may only be 23 years old, but amazingly the win over Sunderland this weekend was his 250th game for the Gunners. The Londoner has drastically improved this season and has already netted 18 goals (5 more than his previous best) this season, and has just signed a new long term contract with the club.
Sagna believes he has come back stronger, and praises Jenkinson
The Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna is really happy to be back after five months out with his second broken leg, and thinks he has achieved his aim of coming back even stronger than before his injury.
Jenkinson – Its an honour and a privilege to play for Arsenal
The right-back Carl Jenkinson would probably win the award right now for Arsenal's most improved player this season (if there was one!) but he would definitely win the award for being the biggest Arsenal fan in the dressing room.

Arsenal to offer Oxlade-Chamberlain new contract by AM
It looks like Arsenal have finally learnt from their mistakes of waiting for the last year in a player's contract to open negotiations over an extension. Arsene Wenger is reportedly set to offer his prized asset Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain a new improved contract.
Arsenal make new improved offer to Joel Campbell for quick decision
Everyone was shocked when the young Costa Rican star Joel Campbell turned down the chance to join Arsenal last week, and there were reports that both Manchester United and Fiorentina had also presented the 20 year-old with counter offers.
Wenger – Stoke have improved tremendously
The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is under no illusions that tomorrows game against Stoke will be easy, especially considering that his team were knocked out of the FA Cup at the Britannia Stadium just a few weeks ago.

Ah yes, "Lost Treasures", "Priceless Art", "Rare prints" , such are the titles of many a media story when some item appears out of nowhere and is worth thousands if not 100's of thousands. While such finds are legitimate, like the Powerball lottery happen to very few people at millions to one odds. Still, even people like myself who've been it he business for years keep looking, even with these odds we still keep an eye out for that Rembrandt etching in a box lot in a farm auction, or that very rare Currier & Ives print hung up in the outhouse of an abandoned farm.
Sadly most of what we see in the appraisal business are usually turn of the 19th Century mass produced copies of the works of a famous Artists. Most of these were sold in Five & Dime type stores, a lot of them formerly prints cut from feed store or insurance company calendars, pictures great Aunt Harriet could not bring herself to throw away in 1923 and popped it in a cheap frame.
The main reason we tend to look at art as having potential great value does have a great deal to do with media finds of rare pieces, but more for the reason that Art it is looked at as a great mystery, the realm of the Expert to tell us "What's it worth" . Unlike most antique items that are identifiable by well-documented markings found on china, figurines, furniture and lamps, the markings on prints are often not well documented or have been trimmed off to fit a frame. In such cases the "Expert" needs to be consulted and in the general public's eyes if an "Expert" is required it equals "Big Value". Experts do have their place, and if you a have any doubt at all at about a piece of art work you should think about making some calls around to galleries and dealers to get a referral .
For those so inclined there are whole libraries of books and DVDs devoted to identifying prints, their editions, biographies of the artist and the publishers involved. Many of these you can view for free online or in local libraries,
For anyone who is thinking about collecting or buying & selling genuine prints, that would be my first recommendation. There is another option to determine if what you are looking at is an lithographic print or etching or a mass produced copy that only requires a trip to th Dollar Store for a cheap magnifying glass.
For those of you that just want one simple way to determine if the Currier & Ives print of the 'City of New York ' in your hands is worth $7000.00 or $70.00 I have one simple clue….. Dots….. "
Mass-produced 20th-century prints are produced in the same fashion as newspapers put photographs into print: with an image made up of thousands of tiny colored dots (as can be seen in the blown up image to the left). If you look closely at a picture in a newspaper, the entire image is made up of a series of tiny dots, looking almost like a honey comb. The vast majority of original prints are various forms of etchings, engraving or lithographs, all of which have their own unique markings, and require some training and practice to identify, but one thing they won't exhibit is the all-over honey comb of dots found on a mass-produced print.

Persistence of Memory (Paperback)
Special Order
Sixteen-year-old Erin Misrahe just wants to be like everyone else in her new school. But Erin has more to worry about than passing AP Chemistry or making friends. In times of stress, she has always been overcome by her alter ego, Shevaun, whose violent behavior wreaks havoc on those around her. Erin can never remember anything about these episodes, and she's grateful to have been spared them for a while.
But when a protective friend comes back into Erin's life, he insists that Shevaun is a vampire who actually exists apart from Erin. Shevaun has dangerous allies, like the handsome witch Adjila and they re determined to sever Shevaun's connection to Erin once and for all.

I love steak and shake very simple and easy gift card to use always on your phone!
My son was traveling to Ohio and wanted to stop at Steak & Shake for a meal. Since there are no locations in Buffalo, I looked everywhere for a gift card I could send with him on his trip. I couldn't find any in the area stores, so I tried to order an email gift card through the Steak & Shake website, but it would not work. I found the same card on the Walmart website, and the email gift card option worked like a charm. My son was able to use his iPhone to access his gift cards in his email and paid using his phone. He was thrilled how easy it was to access the gift cards, and enjoyed a meal on me on his way through Ohio.
I was very please with my purchase of the eGift card. It was delivered on time and my son was very pleased to have receive this eGift card.

This year's focus will be on the centrally important topic of ethics in pastoral ministry.
With a mix of presentation and discussion, participants will have an opportunity to frame the topic in the context of the covenant theology with a look at the manifest ethic of Jesus Christ.
Participants will also look at service to the people in their ministry through the lens of three foundational principles in pastoral ethics: clarity of agency, responsibilities of fiduciary trust and the complexities of confidentiality.

Our best Android tablet round-up features six of the best from all the biggest brands and options for every budget and preference. Read on to find the ideal one for you.
The tablet world moves slower than smartphones, so buying a tablet now is a safe bet. It won't feel horribly out of date in a year's time, or even two of three years time.
As ever, there's plenty of choice and we review dozens of tablets every year. Our round-up only features six models, though, so you can be confident these really are the very best of the best.
Watch: Trusted Explains – Tablets vs Laptops: Which is best for you?
Whether you want a cheap tablet for your children, or something to help you get stuff done, there's something for everyone.
Use the drop down above to start browsing the guide, or read on for more tablet buying advice. And, if you're an Android fan, you might be interested in our pick of the best Android apps too, which is updated with a new app every week.
There's a massive difference in price between the cheapest and most expensive tablets on the market. While you can now buy models for less than £100, some will set you back as much as £1,000. Generally speaking, smaller tablets around the 7-inch mark are cheap, while 10-inchers and above are significantly costlier.
Unless you plan on using your tablet for work purposes, you have little reason to spend more than £300. Some high-end Android tablets cost a tad more than this, but they're often endowed with an exceptional feature, such as a super-sharp screen or a stylus.
Pricier tablets have better screens and designed features like built-in stands
Lots of tablets available for between £100 and £300 are good enough for watching TV and movies, reading, gaming and browsing the web, which are the key capabilities most consumers look out for. Within this bracket, price is determined by screen size, which we'll discuss in more depth further down the page.
However, be wary of 'bargains'. If you find something retailing for far less than its product description suggests it should, do your research. The £99.99 Argos MyTablet and £149.99 Aldi Medion Lifetab S10346 are classic examples of this, and scored 3/10 and 4/10, respectively. That says it all.
Size is a very important factor when it comes to deciding which Android tablet to buy. Yes, small translates as cheap and large translates as not-so-cheap, but there's a little more to it than that.
The primary advantages of 7-inch tablets are affordability and portability. They weigh and cost a lot less than larger tablets, but are still more than generous in terms of screen quality, performance and battery life. They're also a family-friendly choice, since even the smallest hands can get to grips with them. This makes them perfect for using on the go, whether that's for reading eBooks on a train or taking pictures on a sunny beach.
7-inch tablets aren't so great for watching movies or browsing the web, however, due to the screen size and the tendency for them to feature quite weak, tinny speakers. You'll also struggle to get the most out of them for work purposes, because they're uncomfortable to use in this manner for long periods, even if you buy a keyboard dock.
Like smartphones, tablets seem to be growing bigger, and it's now possible to find models up to 13 inches in size. That's a fair bit of heft, and means that large tablets are a lot heavier and trickier to handle than 7 inchers.
However, what you lose in portability you gain in several other areas. Displays and speakers tend to be far superior, making these great for watching movies or listening to music on. They're also terrific for reading the news, though they're a little too cumbersome for using on a packed commuter train.
Consider what you want to do before choosing what size tablet you want
Crucially, plenty of 10-inch Android tablets now come with keyboard docks, which transform them into productivity devices. However, this comes at a price, which 10-inchers and above usually costing over twice as much as 7-inchers.
8-inch tablets sit on the pleasant middle-ground. They're better for browsing the web, reading eBooks and watching movies than 7-inch tablets, yet they're far easier to use on the go than 10-inch tablets.
However, they're also a fair bit more expensive than some of the best 7-inch Android tablets on the market. Still, this hasn't stopped them from becoming the most popular tablet size amongst consumers.
