Could you picture yourself in a remote village in Ghana, immersed in a culture foreign to you and helping a mother deliver her child? Now imagine a famous professional athlete as he sprints on a treadmill, with you standing beside him to measure his lung capacity. Envision a room full of children in the heart of Jacksonville's impoverished urban core, listening intently as you teach them about the importance of hand washing – lessons they desperately need to hear. These experiences are not fiction. Students in the Brooks College of Health have had these opportunities – and more – as a result of our understanding that students' education has more impact through transformational learning opportunities.

Hello all,
Pilgrimage from Australia to Buddhist Places of Worship in India – The Management Committee of Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage has received a
request from a group of dedicated practitioners about the possibility of arranging a pilgrimage to India in 2014. Previous tours arranged by the Dhammagiri Community offered a choice of 2 or 3 weeks stay in India and took place in the months of February/March of each year. An air conditioned coach with toilet facilities was hired for the tour last year and the pilgrims stayed in clean & comfortable hotels. For more details about the tour facilities on offer please contact Lalani at Travelscene, Springwood on Brisbane 38082299.
Before committing to the pilgrimage we are seeking expressions of interest from the Dhammagiri Community and friends as to who would like to attend so that we can determine if there is a sufficient number of pilgrims to go forward with plans for such a tour. Thereafter we will approach Ven. Dhammasiha with the proposal. Once he gives his approval the tour will be organised with the help of Lalani Pathikirikorale and we will forward the itinerary to you.
Photos of the pilgrimage in 2012 may be accessed at: http://www.dhammagiri.org.au and go to the photos and click on Pilgrimage folder.
If you wish to join the pilgrimage tour please contact;

The challenge was to introduce agility (Scrum) across the AOL Publishing organization. If we subtract the editorial staff, the agile transformation affected roughly 3,000 employees one way or the other. The agile consultant and coach tried to tackle several issues under one "reward and recognition program" umbrella. For example, "How do we know that the 50-70 project teams, who were working in parallel at any given moment, were really doing agile?"
Experiences from an internal reward and recognition program introduced by Jochen Krebs to AOL.
Early 2008, I became responsible of one of the largest agile transformations in the industry. The challenge was to introduce agility (Scrum) across the AOL Publishing organization. If we subtract the editorial staff, the agile transformation affected roughly 3,000 employees one way or the other. Many of the employee's jobs turned upside-down as contributing team member. Other, more peripheral stakeholders such as advertising, legal and executives, the agile transformation had less impact on their daily life but was still noteworthy. Needless to say, everyone needed to pull into the same direction to make agile stick across the board. The transformation was rapid with full executive support, but the speedy commitment and high expectations introduced new problems for a transformation of such a magnitude.
I was facing several issues which I tried to tackle under one "reward and recognition program" umbrella. For example, "How do we know that the 50-70 project teams, who were working in parallel at any given moment, were really doing agile?" In my role, I needed to know if we increase productivity with Scrum and if so by how much? In other words, "Was it really (with evidence) a good idea to depart from waterfall?" It was however extremely important that we did not want to get insights through additional bureaucracy. We did not want to establish a command and control process police nor did we want to introduce additional reports and status meetings. The goal was to use what was automatically produced by the Scrum framework. I also wanted to proactively tackle the issue of sprint fatigue when teams burn out over time and agile practices become neglected due to routine and mechanical execution (e.g. retrospectives). Last but not least, we wanted to use the award to help creating a team boundary as well organizational boundary in a company operating across the globe.
The first step was Scrum training for every project team. We did then establish a mix of internal and external team coaching which guided every team through the key elements of iterations, especially iteration planning and review. That lasted for at least two iterations for every team. Many of these 2-day Scrum courses I delivered myself world-wide. The mix of internal and external coaching was crucial for success during the initial iterations. External coaching delivered freshness, experience and purity in agile practices. Internal coaches were especially important, because AOL would need to find a way to keep the agile process alive for the months and years to come. In addition, nobody knew the political and cultural playing field better than the employees themselves.
While the team-based roll-out was underway I was looking for a way to keep the energy-level and morale elevated while we wanted to review the effectiveness of the agile process. In fall 2008, I introduced the "A-team" reward and recognition program for all agile teams. We used A-team as wordplay between "agile" and "AOL" but it also connected the award with the media industry we are operating in. It also made it clear that we were looking for hero teams, not individual hero team members. Either the entire team would become A-team or nobody on the team.
We wanted to make this program catchy, easy to verify, achievable and most important without introducing any new bureaucracy. That meant no paperwork, forms or templates to be filled out and no committee which would decide as a judge. We agreed to one basic requirement which turned "a" team into an "A"-team. That is:
"Demonstrate three months of

Mark VanderBroek '84 on Short List for Cobb Co. (GA) Superior Court
From The Marietta Daily Journal:
Three Cobb judges and a lawyer make up the short list of nominees to replace retiring Superior Court Judge George Kreeger.
On Monday, the Judicial Nominating Commission recommended Gov. Nathan Deal choose from Cobb State Court Judges Maria B. Golick and Robert D. Leonard II, Cobb Juvenile Court Judge Juanita Stedman; and Mark S. VanderBroek, a partner in the Atlanta firm of Troutman Sanders, to replace Kreeger.
The governor's office will now interview the four candidates, and Deal will appoint one of the four.
Twenty-seven attorneys and judges were originally nominated for the seat, and the JNC did a first round of interviews.
Stedman oversees the Family Dependency and Juvenile drug courts. That work could give her an advantage, because Deal has emphasized the need for more drug courts as one way to save the costs of locking up non-violent offenders. Kreeger himself runs Cobb's adult drug court.
Golick and Leonard are currently judges on Cobb's State Court, which hears misdemeanor criminal cases and some civil cases. Maria Golick is married to state Rep. Rich Golick, a Smyrna Republican. 7
Elevating either of them would give the governor another appointment to fill the state court vacancy.
VanderBroek earned a law degree from the University of Chicago, and many of his cases involve intellectual property disputes and the franchise industry, according to his biography on the law firm's website. He is a member of Mt. Bethel United Methodist Church.
Cobb's 10-judge Superior Court bench is losing its two most senior members this year. Judge Dorothy Robinson, who was elected in 1980, is retiring when her terms ends Dec. 31. Voters recently elected Cobb Juvenile Court Judge Greg Poole to succeed her.
Judge Kreeger was appointed in 1984 by Gov. Joe Frank Harris. Kreeger was last re-elected to the seat in 2010, and his successor will serve out the rest of his term, through Dec. 31, 2014.
Come January, Judge Mary Staley will be the longest-serving sitting judge on Cobb's Superior Court. She was first elected to the seat in 1992.
The Judicial Nominating Commission is made up of 20 lawyers and is co-chaired by Randy Evans, of McKenna Long & Aldridge, and Pete Robinson, of Troutman Sanders Strategies. Attorney General Sam Olens is among the members.

In the summer of 1954, a 27-year-old aspiring artist from Montreal sat down in her Paris apartment to type out a letter to her father. Her name was Phyllis Lambert. Her father was Samuel Bronfman, founder of the giant liquor company Joseph E. Seagram & Sons.
Filling eight single-spaced pages, the letter was annotated in the margins with handwritten corrections, additions, and architectural sketches. It is reproduced in full as an appendix to a new book by Lambert, Hon. FAIA, which is called, simply, Building Seagram, published by Yale University Press in April.
In the letter, she tries to convince her father that he is about to make a monumental mistake—that his plan to build a corporate headquarters for his company at Park Avenue between 52nd and 53rd streets in Manhattan is insufficiently ambitious, and that he ought to abandon it immediately. The proposed scheme, a copy of which Bronfman had mailed to his daughter a few weeks earlier, called for a 34-story tower in a style that he referred to proudly as "Renaissance Modernized." It was to be designed by the Los Angeles–based firm Pereira and Luckman.
"This letter starts with one word repeated very emphatically NO NO NO NO NO," Lambert wrote. "I am very disturbed and find nothing whatsoever commendable in this preliminary-as-it-may-be plan for a Seagram's building."
After criticizing the historical references in the proposed building as trite and saccharine ("you can't modernize the Renaissance—you can only learn from it"), Lambert, the second-oldest of Bronfman's four children, appealed to her father's vanity and sense of his own legacy.
"You must put up a building which expresses the best of the society in which you live, and at the same time your hopes for the betterment of this society," she wrote. "You have a great responsibility and your building is not only for the people of your companies, it is much more for all people, in New York and the rest of the world."
Lambert, who would go on to help found the Canadian Centre for Architecture in 1979, donating 750,000 shares of Seagram stock to finance it, was not close to Bronfman. In the book she refers to him as "SB" to suggest some of that distance.
"My contact with my father up to 1954 had been minimal," she writes. "He considered only his sons to be in the line of business succession, and as a child with a strong aversion to all talk about business and money, I was a self-imposed outsider, immersed in art, committed to sculpture by the age of nine, constantly daydreaming about becoming an independent artist."
About her childhood, she adds, "My father was for all intents and purposes physically absent; his strong personality and fierce temper terrified his children."
Their relationship had begun to thaw, however, by the time Lambert sat down to write to him about the Park Avenue tower. Earlier in 1954 she had taken her father to Rome to see some of the city's great landmarks, a trip that was also part of her own effort to study architectural history first-hand. And something in the letter struck a chord—or a nerve—with her father. After receiving it he immediately summoned her back to New York.

Hello all,
This is my Boba costume so far....(One of the pics is dark for some reason)
My idea in the future is to complete both the ESB and ROTJ costumes.
This one (My first one) is intended to be ROTJ. I know the helmet and cape are ESB, but these are all the parts I have so far, so I decided to put it on a mannequin to see how it looks in general.
It´s missing:
ROTJ Helmet and cape. (Where can I find a good ROTJ helmet by the way?)
Boot spikes (Coming in this week)
Jet Pack and Rifle (Will be coming in soon from Rex/MLC ! )
Please feel free to make comments !!!! I really want it to be perfect so your input and help is highly appretiated and most welcome.
Thanks !

Review Columbia University
I am currently enrolled in graduate school at the prestigious Columbia University. I am impressed with the level of diversity at Columbia. There is a majority minority. Most of my seminars are comprised of Asian, Indian students I myself am typically the only African American student. I believe that Columbia truly wants their students to thrive. They bring in some of the best professors from the corporate world. For instances in one of my courses I have three different professors. Each have a very different perspective and method of teaching. I will say that I am disappointed that there are not more scholarships available to graduate students; I am working a full-time job in addition to taking a full course load so that I can graduate in a two year span and pay for school. Mind you I have a 3.8 G.P.A I believe that their should be some source of funding other than loans for students in my situation.
I am so glad I chose to attend Columbia University! My peers challenge and interest me (one guy in my class is 13 years old!) and not a day goes by that I do not engage in a meaningful and intellectually stimulating chat with my friends and floormates. I find that for the science courses, a lot is self study/dependent on how much YOU want to succeed; professors definitely don't hand out A's if you don't put in work outside of class. The class work is tough but it pays off when you do well and have great people to hang out with. Manage your time! The majority of students have four-day school weeks but tend to party on Thursday and Friday nights. Keep it to a minimum, choose one day to go out on the weekend but study the other three nights, it'll be worth it. I get all my assignments done by Saturday night so I can totally relax Sunday and explore the city or just sleep all day!
I've been in and out of Columbia, but it really in a unique school, being ivy league full of hyperintelligent high achievers without feeling like a machine made to churn out sociopathic moneymakers. It loves the arts and it loves rebellion. Students are PASSIONATE and they won't just show off for a class -- so many people choose to start businesses, hold protests, make differences, make art, do whatever it is they love. I currently am CEO of 2 companies I founded -- a webzine for genderqueer issues and a clothing line. Only thing is I wish that it could be more relaxed. When I was a freshman, it felt competitive and uncomfortable for me, like students didn't want to learn as much s they just wanted to be impressive, so I dropped out and transferred to Pratt with a massive scholarship. I returned a few years later in the school of General Studies, which is way more flexible and easygoing, especially when it comes to the core curriculum. I think the rest of Columbia should gradually make its way towards operating more like GS.

Canon EOS 1100D, DxOMark review for the new Canon entry-level bodyWednesday March 16 2011 Sensor Review
Compared to Nikon D3100 & Sony SLT A33
How does the EOS 1100D stand against its main competitors, the Nikon D3100 and the Sony SLT Alpha 33?
In short—not bad!
Compared to the Sony SLT A33, the EOS 1100D might seem handicapped against Sony and its very good 14-megapixel Exmor R sensor, which has a much better dynamic range than those of the D3100 and the EOS 1100D at low ISO settings. Up to ISO 400, Sony tops them all. But Sony's new secret weapon, translucent mirror technology, perturbs light transmission, so as soon as we go above ISO 400, the EOS 1100D and D3100 overtake the SLT A33.
Translucent mirror technology also impacts the low-light performance of Sony's entry-level Alpha 33, whose Sports score reaches its maximum at 591 ISO, while the EOS 1100D can go up to 755 ISO. The king of the hill for this specific metric, however, is the D3100 with a solid 919 ISO. The Sports score aims at finding how high the ISO sensitivity can be pushed while the sensor produces an image remaining above 30dB SNR, 9EV dynamic range, and 18-bit color depth, which means a very good-quality photo.
The EOS 1100D produces almost the same metrics as the Nikon D3100. Its SNR is as good as Nikon's, and is slightly above Sony's. The tonal range measurement shows the same results.
The color sensitivity metrics confirm the Sony A33's slowing down at ISO 400, while Nikon D3100 proves a bit better. The EOS 1100D lies right in between those two sensors, with just a tiny difference, which is quite good.
To sum up: The Alpha 33 is very good at low ISO settings, but as soon as we reach ISO 400, the 1100D produces less noise and better colors and continues to show very good behavior up to ISO 800.
The slightly more expensive Nikon D3100 proves a tiny bit better for almost the entire metric, but the difference is slight. This means that features such as the video recording function could give the Nikon a decisive advantage over the EOS 1100D.
The Full SNR analysis explains everything!
Let's say a few words about the particular shape of Canon's Dynamic Range curve. Below ISO 400, it is almost horizontal (just as with the D3100, by the way). And this reveals a problem. In order to identify it clearly, let's have a look at the Full SNR graph:
The different curves should not overlap or be too close. On the left side of the graph (representing the dark tones), the ISO 100 and 200 curves are superimposed, and the ISO 400 curve is very close. This explains the recurrent constant noise noticed in the dark zones at low ISO sensitivity. This also explains the flatness of the Dynamic Range curve below ISO 400, and also what prevents the EOS 1100D sensor to have a better SNR metric at low ISO settings. This is also a problem for the Nikon D3100.
The dynamic range of the Alpha 33 is much better than that of the two other sensors, and its full SNR shows why: its curves are much better.
Further readings for the Canon EOS 1100D, DxOMark review for the new Canon entry-level body
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The EOS 1100D (Rebel T3) replaces the EOS 1000 as Canon's entry-level body. It combines a 12-megapixel sensor, Canon's 9-point AF engine coupled to the 63-zone metering system introduced by the EOS7D, and of course the now-standard Digic 4 image processor.

Dear admin
I imagine that this group will be discuss about one word every day. So can you tell me What is the word of topic today ?
Perhaps that you must be active to manage this group with more conversation.
Hello Insani, maybe you are right, it would be nice if this group was more active. I don't know who is the admin. Anyway we could take the word of the day from this following site and develope the topic by starting from that word. Just h***e a look to this link: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/, the word of today is "phloem", the food-conducting tissue of vascular plants, consisting of sieve tubes, fibers, parenchyma, and sclereids. Synonyms: bast. Usage: "Girdling" a tree, or cutting through its phloem tubes, results in the starvation of the roots and, ultimately, the death of the tree. It is just a proposal if there is nobody as a admin in order to revive this group. H***e a nice day!!!

I'm not a Glock owner anymore but have had a few. I've never had or personally known anyone that had one bust out like that. My personally opinion about them is you hear more about Glocks doing it mainly because there are more people running around with them. Still tons of cops have them and they sell well in the private sector too. If one was to try and figure out how many rounds total from all the Glocks out there then average it out I'm sure that the numbers wont look much if any worse than any other gun maker.
If this is bugging you then maybe you need to look at another weapon. Lack of confidence in a weapon is a huge liability. You have to be able it trust your life to your weapon or it's about as useful as a paperweight. You'll have ot do the 70's cop show thing and just throw it at them.

|make sure your dog is staying hydrated.
If your pup still has major diarrhea, one suggestion would be to rest his gut from food for 12 hours with offering water only.
If you feel he is ready for food, mix equal parts of boiled, shredded, boneless chicken breast with plain canned pumpkin (no spices). Feed a small meal and watch. In a few hours if no diarrhea, feed another small meal. If he handles this, switch to a full size meal and keep him on this mix for one or two days to let his gut rest. If all is well, begin to introduce his regular food in small amounts and wean off of the chicken/pumpkin mix.
Slippery Elm capsules opened up and mixed with his food can sooth the intestinal tract. You can purchase this at a local health food store. Good to have on hand for tummy upsets and diarrhea......dogs or humans!
|check with your vet but i have used imodium.
|Unfortunately I'm not able to help, but one my stepdad gave my dog a piece of steak and the next day I come home to see that he had a massive diarrhea attack all over a 156 sq foot persian rug that my mom has owned for over 20 years. Fortunately we were able to have it dry cleaned, and there is no trace of that event ever having taken place, but it was an expensive lesson.
Pumpkin? I think a little spoonful at each meal should help.

Great. (moved to health)
So, my manager puppy sat for us last weekend and I had given her the food that he's been on for a few months already and she had told me that her bulldogs + my dog managed to get into the dog food bag that I had given her and they ate the whole thing. This was.. on Sunday, I think. So she told me that she had been giving him Blue Buffalo.. because.. what else could have been done since all they have near their place is a Petsmart and they don't sell the brand of food I was giving my dog.
Anyway, we picked him up Monday evening and he got right back onto his normal food. Everything was normal. In the morning, my boyfriend took him out to use the potty, then an hour or so later, I got up to feed him because I had to get ready for work and I took him out one last time before I left and I put him right back in his crate.
I get home from work and he's literally covered in poop. Diarrhea came to visit and it decided to self-destruct all over the front right side of his WIRED crate, mind you. Poop and poopy water was all over the place.. and the smell is unforgiving. Sorry for the details.
It HAS to be because he was randomly switched, FOR A DAY, to Blue Buffalo.
What I was wanting to ask was what on earth can I do so I don't have to clean up another big fat splurge of diarrhea off the floor tomorrow (IF it does happen again)? My boyfriend and I both work in the morning and no one is here to take him out until the poop rampage is over. I don't want to leave him outside in the backyard until I get home because he's only 6 months and he's still in land shark mode, plus I live in Texas. IT'S HOT.

a Pokemon: Not entirely sure, to be honest.
Gym Leader: Not a set type, kind of like Blue in Gen 2/Gen 2 remakes. Team of (Shining) Charizard, Lucario, Zoroark, Dragonite, Glaceon, Arcanine
E4/Champion: Again, no set type, team: (Shining) Charizard, Lucario, Dragonite, Tyranitar, Aggron, Delphox
Ranger: My partner would be Lucario.
Trainer: I'd raise all my Pokemon with love, but also to be strong. My team staples would be Lucario, a Shiny Charizard, and a Dragonite.
If I could have any Pokemon, it'd be a (preferably female) Lucario.
Same for if I had a Pokemon as a pet.

Im trying to decide whether to start tefl, im taking redundancy in work and heading off travelling to south america for a few months then other parts of the world. Ive read some courses saying the weekend taster is ideal for those wishing to travel and pick up some work in a gap year. other research ive done says you needed minimum 120hrs course plus assessment.
From looking at jobs online minimum job periods is typically 6 months which is too long for me. Im really interested in a two week placement or so, so I can experience the culture and environment and potential improve my spanish. Am I being too optimistic? At the moment I dont see it as a career more an experience of engaging with locals and if it covers some costs along the way all the better. I dont like the idea of being tied to a long (More than month) contract, but when funds are getting low would consider it a bit longer.
For such an idea Im finding it difficult tto justify the cost and most of all effort of doing a CELTA course as it seems like a mammoth of work. Am I being realistic in my aim? Feel free to give me a reality check any feedback welcomed.

OK, aside from the fact that I am using a dp96 (i am bidding on a dp 95 now) and I have completely killed the back of the helmet with the wrong paints (sanding and repainting soon), I am having a problem with whaqt should be the simplest thing.
Installing the visor.
I made a visor to put in temporarily until my new visor arrives from Ft. Myers. But even with the temp visor (thick plastic painted black) I had such a hard time installing it that I gave up in frustration and ripped the thing out.
I have read TK409's awesome site and looked at his pictures, but can someone give this visor-challenged goob a step by step tutorial so that when the new visor gets here, I dont kill it and toss the dp96 in the trash. I want to be able to do this right so I can do it when (and if) I get the dp95 here.

Was bringing my car home from my mechanic (details why in this other thread Radiator fan turns on more often/sometimes won't turn off). Drove it for a few miles. Got about a mile or so from my house and the check engine light came on. Turned right around and took it back to my mechanic to have him check it out today.
Called me back morning. He said that the catalytic converter was overheating/operating inefficiently (figure that's what was causing the hot burning smell coming from the engine bay and under car that I thought was maybe the gear box and/or clutch). Don't know exactly what code came up and I forgot to ask. He said after talking with Subaru, it's the "front" CC (apparently that's the only one of the 3 CC's that is monitored in any way). Parts + labor ~ $900 .
I'm wondering if the catalytic converter overheating is what is causing the engine to run a little warmer than usual and causing the radiator fans to come on high more often, especially after driving awhile and/or at speed (60 mph @ ~2500 rpm) that I asked about in my other thread. My mechanic said he doesn't think so, but I'm not sure where all the CC's are and all. Any insight would be helpful.

|thanks for the input guys, I have made the command decision to r&r the top end, that way if those broken blots give me to much greif, I'll just take the heads into the machine shop to have them bored out.
|I have a 67 F250 that I swapped the old 352 out for a 390. When I was doing this swap I needed to pull the car manifolds off the 390 and put on the 352 truck manifolds. The first thing I done was I ran the 390 until it was good and hot and then sprayed the exhaust manifold bolts with WD40. Well this partly worked, I still broke 4 of the exhaust manifold bolts. What I did, is I used a pair of vise grips on the broken ends of the exhaust bolt. It worked on gettting 3 of them out but the fourth one I had to drill a hole all the way through the bolt. I started with a small bit then kept stepping up in bit sizes until I was just a little bit smaller than the thread size. I then used a easy out and it came right out. I had the motor out of the truck when I did this, you might be able to drill it with the motor in the truck. If not you might have to pull the head to get the broken bolts out. I have not seen a FE yet that doesn't break exhaust manifold bolts when trying to get them out.
just take the head of it will be easier to get at and you can see what you are doing if the bolt has broken off flush to the head
cheers stuart
broken bolt help
Hey all,
Long time no post ( for me anyways )
I just picked up a 1967 Ford Ranger, and the 352 has really bad exhaust leaks. went to swap out manifold gaskets, and found 4 manifold blot broken off in the heads. My question is, should I pull the motor to get at the bolts, or should I just yank the topend?
the only difference I can see between the 2 processes is, the top end is gonna cost me a gasket set, but I can sheck out the internals too, which I see as an advantage. Heres a pic of the truck, and I will get some more up in the photo gallery as soon as possible.

Yes, full Windows 8 and Yes, upgradable to 8.1. See the Newegg comments here:
Dearest Woot!
When you take photos of the items for sale could you please do us the favour of labeling the inputs, outputs and buttons?
For example: where is the volume +/- button?
In one photo there is a USB (What kind?) and then 3 other things. A quick and dirty photoshop would be so very helpful. If you are going to show all the buttons and so forth it would be nice to know what the H-E-Double Hockeysticks they are by simply looking at the photos and reading the descriptions.
Dear Hater,
Yes I know the description is available in the next tab but what I want is an illustrated photograph.
Like this...
Thank you
Does anyone know if this can sync up with chrome cast?
TLDR: If you want a cheap tablet with full Windows 8.1 that can run apps, stream Netflix, browse the internet, and check email this may be for you. It looks nice but does feel cheap when held compared to other high end tablets like the Surface(s). No full sized USB port is an inconvenience.
I had some hands on time with an Asus VivoTab Smart for a couple of days because a friend lent it to me. Overall, I really liked the size and weight of the tablet. The polycarbonate back does flex a little and won't feel as solid as a surface product, but it helps make this tablet that much more lighter. I also really enjoy the simple black, matte aesthetic of the tablet. The major missing component hear is a full USB port, so you'll need to buy a micro USB to USB converter for all your mouse and flash drive needs. The other downside is that this tablet doesn't turn on immediately when the battery is dead and you plug it in. It takes a few minutes of charging before it will turn on, which I've never experienced with another device. While it can run full Windows 8.1 smoothly, the hardware specs are pretty lackluster so dont expect anything past your typical web browsing, email, netflix tablet niche.
It doesn't seem like this comes with the TranSleeve or bluetooth keyboard, but many people looking at this tablet will probably be interested in them. First, the good news, I really like the keyboard. It's very thin and low profile; so while it has some flex, I think the chiclet keys were nice and spaced well for a tablet keyboard. You do have to manually turn it on and off as it has no sleep mode. It also has to be charged separately from the tablet since there is no connector between the two. It also doesn't work while being charged... So maybe the keyboard looks and feels nice but doesn't have award winning functionality. Next, the bad news. The TranSleeve, in my opinion, is terrible. Half of the sleeves have a manufacturing defect where it doesn't fold and maintain shape properly (read the Amazon reviews). And the magnet used to attach it tot he tablet isn't strong enough in my opinion, making everything feel insecure. It has this weird bar/pin thing that moves so you can squeeze the keyboard between the sleeve and the tablet, but it just doesn't feel reliable and strong enough as a cover or an origami stand. I do like the idea of it folding, and it can accommodate two different tablet positions, but the TranSleeve a poorly executed idea.
Overall, I liked my time with the VivoTab smart but didn't buy one for myself because of its price at the time. At this price point, its hard to pass up on the VivoTab Smart even if it from the dated first wave of Windows tablets.
brettroos wrote:Does anyone know if this can sync up with chrome cast?
Yes, you just run the Chrome browser on it, just like you would on a laptop or desktop computer
For a little bit more, you can get an 8 incher off Amazon that has a newer generation Atom processor that has literally double the performance. Plus, the smaller tablets are much easier to use with one hand.
Great Tablet for everyday use. I use mine at work all the time. I have a bluetooth keyboard as well as mouse but only use them when I need to get real work done.
Its not the fastest, some programs lag, but considering I get over 10 hours of battery use I think its a good mix of speed / battery life. I have the $15 Poetic case, works great.
The ports all feel cheap like I am going to wear them out but they all still work fine.
This is real windows and you can run anything on it. (huge advantage over Apple)
I would say for any Windows tablet 64GB is a minimum.
Very happy customer here. I paid $350 for it new.
Does it come with Office 2013 Home & Student version as appears new ones do?
With Windows 8, Microsoft reduced the number of editions of the OS. There's
Windows 8
Windows 8 Pro
So if it says "Windows 8", it's not the Pro edition.
Hope that helps.
ptalvensaari wrote:Does it come with Office 2013 Home & Student version as appears new ones do?
Sorry, No. Windows 8 does not ship with Office. If some are doing so, it's a special promotion between the manufacturer & Microsoft.
Isn't there also Windows RT?
I purchased one of these from my local microcenter about 8-9 months ago. I want to say that I paid less than $280 new. At the time I though it was a 'can't lose' deal.
The charging / low battery design for this tablet is a total fail. It was mentioned in a previous post, but it really needs to be emphasized. If the battery is run down to dead, it will be totally unresponsive for what seems like an hour until it charges enough to decide to turn on. Worse - i dont think the charger has enough output to run and charge the device at the same time - so if you start using it right when it will finally turn on, it will stay barely charged until you put it down.
Forgive my ignorance if this is common design for tablets these days, but my 2 year old acer android tablet was not designed like this.
No USB and lack of full size SD slot are also killers.
2Gig ram is painful.
I know it is a budget model, and on first inspection I was blown away by the apparent value (hence the reason for the purchase). I ended up wiping it and returning it within 3 days of purchase.
Message from me is - don't think you are getting more value then the money spent. You are not.
crazyjoemama wrote:Isn't there also Windows RT?
And Windows 8 Phone...
This runs Desktop/Laptop Windows 8. You should be able to run simple desktop apps fine. More demanding apps (3D games, drafting programs, RAM-intensive) will balk at the simple hardware.
Asus tells us that you can indeed update your VivoTab Smart to Windows 8.1 (32-bit).
I don't blame you for avoiding Windows RT.
I'd have to go with the Dell Venue 8 Pro. It's $40 more than this tablet on amazon but it is a much faster and newer atom cpu than this one.

I'm with you! Love those pix with labels. As an engineer, this is how we present things. The pictures speak for themselves. Good way to get a quick overview without out much click, click, click.
Why is it when big players latch on any Expansion goes away???
Happened with Google and the (Android) Nexus now with Microcrap no SD expansion though nice its at least 64GB then agin as BLOATED at Winblows is probably no more or even less usable than a 32 GB Android.
But by just ASUS Transformer... Tab alone micro SD, with KB dock second battery and full SD slopt and host USB, Again all missing on the big boy versions? What are they so afraid of???
My TF700 32 GB native... 32GB micro, a 32GB SD in KB, and found a mini SD micro USB adapter that the card literally fits in the USB A plug and barely sticks out sealing the USB port when not needed and bringing total to 128 GB
The Crapple's are even worse but why does this happen with the big boys on Android too when the actual maker ASUS has no such restrictions on their own products at the same or near price.
Yes and stay away from them, unless you enjoy being crippled....
I don't think there are any new ones, it was the crippling way how bloated Windows is they could make it fit on a 32GB or less device, and likely why this on is 64 but for user space likely not much more than a 32 Android/Linux.

POUGHKEEPSIE – The Marist baseball team swept a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference home doubleheader against Manhattan on Saturday. In the seven-inning first game, the Red Foxes prevailed 11-6. Marist then earned an 8-7 victory in the nine-inning second game to complete the three-game series sweep.
For Marist on the day, freshman third baseman Ben Moller (Warrington, Pa.) had two hits in each game, going 4-for-7 with three runs scored and three RBIs. Sophomore second baseman Joey Aiola (Suffern, N.Y.) drove in four runs. Freshman right-hander Ryan Thomas (Ringoes, N.J.) earned saves in both games.
Game One
After spotting Manhattan a 2-0 lead, the Red Foxes took the lead for good with an eight-run third inning. Marist scored all of its runs with two outs, as seven consecutive hitters reached safely. Moller had a two-run single in the inning.
Manhattan scored once in the fourth and twice in the sixth to cut its deficit to 8-5. The Jaspers brought the tying run to the plate, but Thomas came in the game with two outs, and induced a comebacker to end the threat. The Red Foxes then tacked on three runs in the bottom half of the inning, which included a two-run double by Aiola.
Freshman right-hander Scott Boches (Feasterville, Pa.) went the first 5.2 innings to pick up the win, which ran his record to 3-2. Thomas recorded the final four outs for his fifth save. Manhattan starter Nick Girardi (0-1), who went 2.2 innings, took the loss.
Game Two
In what was a pitchers' duel through the first six innings between Manhattan's William Fabra and Marist senior left-hander Jordan Eich (Spencerport, N.Y.), the Red Foxes struck first with two runs in the third. A squeeze bunt single from senior right fielder Jake Berry (South Hamilton, Mass.) brought home Moller with the game's first run. Junior first baseman Steve Laurino (Carle Place, N.Y.) followed with a two-out double to bring home Berry.
After Manhattan shortstop Jose Carrera singled to lead off the game, Eich retired 16 consecutive Jaspers. However, Manhattan took the lead with three unearned runs – one in the sixth, and two in the seventh. Marist then tied the game in the seventh without the benefit of a hit, as a sacrifice fly from senior shortstop Nick McQuail (Wantagh, N.Y.) brought home pinch-runner Jamari Moore (Marietta, Ga.).
In the top of the eighth, Marist freshman right-hander Sean Keenan (Dayton, N.J.) entered with runners at the corners and one out. Keenan induced a pop-out to himself, and then junior catcher Mark Swertfager (Katonah, N.Y.) teamed with Aiola to thwart a double-steal attempt to end the inning. Marist then scored five in the eighth to take the lead for good. Aiola's RBI single broke the tie, and was followed by an RBI bunt single from Moller. Sophomore Matt Pagano (Cranston, R.I.) came off the bench to add a pinch-hit two-run single, which was followed by an RBI double from McQuail.
Manhattan then battled to score four in the ninth. The Jaspers had the tying and go-ahead runs on base, but Thomas induced a groundout to end the game.
Eich gave up four hits and three unearned runs in 7.1 innings. Keenan (3-0) earned the victory, and Thomas got the final two outs for his sixth save. For Manhattan, Fabra allowed five hits and two runs in six innings. Shawn Kanwisher (1-2), the third of four Manhattan pitchers, took the loss. Carrera paced the Jaspers offensively on the day by going 3-for-8 with three RBIs and three stolen bases.
Marist is now 12-23 overall and 5-7 in the MAAC; Manhattan is 8-26 overall and 4-11 in the MAAC.
The Red Foxes have now won a season-high four straight. They will return to action on Tuesday, when they host UMass-Lowell in a non-conference game. First pitch is set for 3 p.m.

Sadly I can't post pics of this cos my camera's gone up the spout (and I'm not so sure it'd show up on camera anyway).
I started by painting the shoulder bells ... they seemed the obvious place for me to start.
So I went to Halfords and picked up some car paints:
Grey Primer
BMW Titan/Titanium Silver
Plastic (Yellow) Primer
Vauxhall Mustard Yellow
The primer and silver went on a dream, BUT (and I don't know if this affected the result or not) I forgot to wet&dry the silver before starting with the yellow primer.
Afterthe first coat I noticed that the primer dried in a crackled pattern over the silver. I wasn't too deterred because I thought it looked kinda cool.
So I painted another coat of primer, added some more masking liquid then started on the Mustard Yellow top coat.
The top coat filled in the cracks, leaving an aged leather look on the areas of my shoulder bells where I hadn't masked it.
It adds nicely to the aged look and doesn't show up unless you look closely.
Is this because I'm using car spray paints or because I forgot to wet&dry the silver?

I'm not familiar with any use/abuse-to-destruction tests, and based on my experiences with these guns, they are probably all pretty close. In real-life use, you're not going to "wear-out" a frame on these guns, nor is frame stretching an issue with large magnum Ruger revolvers. Finally, if unsafe-pressure ammunition is your concern, the cylinder and/or barrel is probably your weak spot for bursting strength instead of the frame.
If pressed for an answer, I'd say the Super Blackhawk due to the simpler machining and symmetrical geometry of the frame's shape.
I have a Redhawk that's 25+ years old and it has seen some idiot-fringe loads from an inexperienced-but-learning handloader (), and I still have all my fingers.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I lost interest big-time when the cost of the electronics to be competitive exceeded the cost to build the engine.
|painted jester
Its funny we older guys remember class racing weight to cu inch !
When , with every run you wanted to turn a faster time! In the early 70s they brought in bracket racing so the guy who didn't have much of a car or the ability to build it or the funds for a shop to build it could compete in brackets bringing more money to the declining drag strips! So now you have cars that could all weigh the same competing in the same bracket from a Volkswagen bus to a 427 Vette! As long as you sandbagged and drove by your rear view mirror and didn't go too fast you won! And comparing a G.M. 327s 1/4 mile times to other engines like a stroked G.M. 383 Just doesn't compute when using bracket times, when each is built and held to that bracket, And some even installing throttle stops!!! Soon the bracket racers took over the tracks and class racers converted to brackets ( It was an easy win LOL) I was a class racer who moved to brackets!!! All I had to do was slow down and I won LOL!
It was really weird if you slow down you WIN !!!
I'm a little off the threads subject "SORRY"! But its just an old mans thoughts at the time of the transition!
Ive seen a big block "Slug" in the same bracket as the little N.Asp. 6 cylinders Win because he went slow enough!!!!!!! That always seemed dumb to me LOL
You can build a car, It cant run for Sh%$ and they will find a bracket for you LOL
In 1967, I purchased my "291" heads brand new as bare castings from the local Chevrolet dealership for use on my 1965 375 HP/ 327 CI GM short block crate engine. I shipped the heads and Crane valve springs to Joe Mondello in Van Nuys CA, via Central Freight lines.
I invested about $1200 in my Mondello "Posi-Flow" heads in 1967 dollars, including shipping. After I wreck my '56 Chevy, I sold the motor to a rancher with a pick up truck and he blew the engine about a year later towing farm implements.
The heads I think we got them from a friend who had a E/Gas 4 door Austin and had two sets.It was either that or from Jim Oddy who was a local racer at that time.Oddy started his climb to fame with a injected SBC in a 37 Chevy running D/Gas.I'm trying to remember,but I think Oddy won with that car in Indy nationals.
|Mr. P-Body
Gary, I remember EXACTLY the same things you speak of. Mondello Heads? Are you a SoCal transplant or did you ship them? He was in L.A. when I was a kid. Valley Head Service kinda "pushed him out" of the "top spot" in the area at the time. Then came KBE and the new world "began".
Chester, a friend of mine, builds a 290 CID small block for C/E cars that he says "If you launch under 9,000, shut it down, it won't recover. If you're up there, hang on, 'cuz you're goin' for a ride!" It peaks at 11,500. WOO-HOO! More than 3 HP per CID on gasoline! I'm impressed... (:-
I learned at a very young age, no matter how much one "loves" a certain car or brand, NEVER underestimate your opponent. That's particularly true with smaller displacement small block Chevys. Just when you think you've got 'em covered with superior torque and cubes, one will jump up and bite you right on the behind! Didn't happen much on the street, but the track was a different story. Good engines, 327s.
|D/MP and C,wow,those engines were hitting 9500 rpm
I can tell you this.There isn't many if any at all competitive 327's in the 9.90 bracket.Most of them are 383's(kind of on the small side) on up.We've had 383's to 434's and probably every combo in between you can think of over the yrs.In the 10.90 bracket there "might" be afew,but the 383's have such a strong foundation in the class.Alot of it is about the first 60' to 330' times and the torque.
Now in the S/S classes that is a different matter.Those engines have a ungodly amount of money in them.
We ran 327's yrs ago when we just babies living at home.Well really in our late teens.Ran D/MP and C/MP in a 56 and in 57. De-stroked was the hot ticket back then.Small journal steel 283 cranks,M/T aluminum rods,TRW forged pistons,Isky solid roller cam,Mondello ported heads,tunnel ram,rock crusher 4 speed with 4.56's or 5.12's.<4.56 for the 1/4,5.12's for the 1/8> Welded spiders.
Staged at 5,000 to 5,500 and side stepped the clutch and let her rip.They buzzed to the moon in a hurry.We had every second synro ground down so you would just pull on the shifter.The Lakewood bellhousing never got tested through.(yeah,thank god.)
We used to flat tow the race cars to the track and someone had to be in the race car to help guide it through the turns because of the welded rear end.
I'm trying to remember what they ran.Off hand I think they where in the 11 second region,but I honestly don't remember.That was way,way,before my current race partnership where we stopped count at 17 cars in 20 yrs where we where buying distressed incomplete race cars,finishing them,racing for a yr and flip selling them.
I do know there was a hell of alot of washed windshields,pumped gas,and oil and tire changes back then to come up with the money for the parts between one full time job and a part time job.LOL-back then Hot Rod magazine was the bible.It was all about the cars.Man we eat and drink that stuff up.Date night was a engine party at someone's barn doing a swap.
These days I wouldn't suggest a 327.We know a boat load more now and it's final outcome for the street just isn't worth the costs.

The unconfirmed rumor was that Brock's 1967 L88 Corvette was ordered by the TV host Dick Clark but when it arrived without a radio, Clark refused to accept it. QUOTE]
I knew there was a reason why I always disliked that Dick Clark
In the real world often the relationships and dimensions of component just don't work together, one could think 312 Y block Ford as an old example. Other times you just hit it. The 327 was one of those times, it seems the 4 inch bore in any engine is a gift that allows valves big enough to feed the cylinder. To me it's almost a magic dimension; it's hard to think of a poor running 4 inch bore motor from any manufacturer. Sure you can load 'em up with emissions and mess them up, but generally they've proven to be a family of well, if not superlative, performance engines.
All 327s have a good rod length to stroke ratio, the performance engines got forged cranks; they also got well proportioned to slightly large ports, big to bigger valves, high compression dual quench heads. Just a lot of stuff that works well together.
But against an equally prepared larger engine like the 350 the 327 and 302 for that matter need to have a drive train that adjusts for their need to turn more RPM for equal power. So the end result is as much matching the vehicle and driveline characteristics to the engines characteristics.
One has to keep in mind the primary driver behind engine size evolution is the need for more torque to move grocery getters, sell these is what pays the bills over at GM, Ford, and Chrysler. Performance sells to pretty small crowd so even if mom and pop came in to the dealer on Monday following some big national raceway win the preceding Sunday; it was more likely they left with a 250 horse 327 in a station wagon than a 360 horse 327 in a Corvette. So the performance arm of the company most always makes due with what's up for mom and pop production. So as the 283 was a torque search over the 265, the 327, 350, and 400 were from the same intention on the part of Chevy; more torque to cruise more weight and power consuming gadgets.
I won't even comment on some the stuff they went to in the interest of emissions like 262 or 267, these tiny bore motors are attempts to use Voodoo to solve engineering problems and everybody went down that road to the same end.

The unconfirmed rumor was that Brock's 1967 L88 Corvette was ordered by the TV host Dick Clark but when it arrived without a radio, Clark refused to accept it.
In 1971, Randall Brock traded his '67 L88 Corvette roadster for a 1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 convertible which I acquired a year later . The '67 Firebird had 3500 miles on the odometer. The new owner of the '67 L88 Corvette lived in San Antonio TX and he turned it into a race car and it was never licensed again. It has disappeared from history.

I saw a test comparing a stock high hp late model Vette with a 67 Vette ( I think an L 88?) in the 1/4 and 0 to 60 times! The new Vette beat out the 67 but the 67 had stock tires 7 inch tread the new vette had stock tires but with a really wide tread and it also had stock traction aids that the early Vette didn't come out with!! I watched that and thought it was so unfair!!!!!
Its like the stock factory muscle cars of the 60s, and 70s they came out with stock tires of a tread pattern of 6 to 7 1/2 inches with bare bones suspensions, The new muscle has big tires big tread,traction aids etc ! and to compare the 2 to 1/4 and 0-60 times with data from 60s and early 70's compared to new car test data today is Ludicruse! But you see it over and over again
yes it was, remember back when the 327/350 came out.. the tire tech wasn't what it is today.. today we are spoiled with rubber that even slicks of the day didn't have..
the 327 lack of hugy low end helped it. get the car out of the hole.. and the rpm range worked great with the transmissions aval. then.. 2speed powerglide or 4 speed wide stick..
I've driven both a 327 and 350 vettes with sticks.. and the 327 was way more fun..
IMO: Don't forget in the beginning of 1970, Emission level was getting tighter it was coming into play.
That is why a 283 was replaced with a 307, 327 was replaced with a 350, 427 was replaced with a 454. And the 305 has a smaller bore but same stroke as the 350. It seem the longer stroke motors produce less emission. Chevy was in a hurry of building 302 for trans-am racing that was limited to 305. that's another story. Because of cars were getting heavy chevy needed a longer strokes motors in order of getting more torque.
