1963 Topps StickersAnother of the interesting Topps Issues of the 1960's !
Topps inserted these Stick-Ons (stickers) in several of series of their 1963 Topps baseball cards. Interestingly, the Stick-On inserts were not mentioned or advertised on wax pack wrappers in 1963.
The complete 1963 Topps Stick-Ons set is packed with HALL-OF-FAMERS and contains 46 stickers measuring 1-1/4" x 2-3/4". The Stick-Ons come in 2 distinct variations. They can be found either with instructions printed on the back or the much scarcer blank-back variation.
The Stick-Ons have with an approx. 3/16" "white" band running left to right across the mug shot. This band appears to be lighter than the printing above and below it. Theory is that it is an aging effect caused by the backing strip.
TOP STARS: Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron, Sandy Koufax, Stan Musial, Al Kaline, Carl Yastrzemski, Ernie Banks and tons MORE !!!

(part 2)
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
1967 Topps WHO AM I ?NM/MINT to MINT COMPLETE 1976 Crane Potato Chip Football Discs Set.
It's easy to see why the 1967 Topps "Who Am I? set is a favorite of both sports and non- sport collectors. The set's 44 cards feature mostly important figures from world history but what makes this set even more popular was the inclusion of 4 of baseball's most popular players: Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Sandy Koufax !!!
The players picture on the front is covered with a scratch-off disguise with silly, exaggerated features like hair, moustaches, hats, noses... and clues to help kids identify the famous person pictured. The backs contained additional clues and instructions to "Scratch off disguise on front to discover Who I Am. Use a coin or fingernail."
Cards with their scratch-off coating intact are worth many, many times cards with the coatings removed. For example, NM/MINT Babe Ruth with the coating is in the $200-$400 range while a NM/MINT Ruth with the coating removed is closer to $25.

1971 O-Pee-Chee BaseballAlso referred to as OPC or Topps Canada, most vintage OPC sets were near replicas of the Topps cards from that year. Exactly same in design they usually only differed with the addition of French to the backs and some fronts.
To the benefit of collector's OPC made several changes in their 1971 set. The most obvious and useful was a complete redesign of the card backs and the addition of another player photo ! Additionly, over 20 cards were changed including the inclusion of what could be considered the first "Traded" cards. Another difference: Topps cards #202 and #289 were changed to allow the addition of 2 more Expos to the set.
The 1971 OPC set is legendary for its short print run, estimated at perhaps just 5% of Topps' Production. This issue is considered quite elusive, even in Canada.
TOP ROOKIE: Steve Garvey

I probably don't exist.
Quote from: Mooby on May 26, 2012, 02:41:34 PMI probably don't exist.Why probably?
The overwhelming lack of good evidence makes my existence improbable.
If there is no evidence that you do exist (personally I can find more evidence for this than the contrary), then surely there must be evidence that you don't exist, if you think that is more probable?
what evidence would a non-existent thing leave?
If it's any consolation, I exist.
Perhaps Mooby knows something I don't?
Quote from: RNS on June 01, 2012, 12:16:54 PMPerhaps Mooby knows something I don't?Mooby doesn't know anything. Therein lies the problem.

I could say the same thing about qquite a few strong wiled ppl like Codd, DaveDave, etc, etc. It possible to intereact with them in some ways and have a good conversation but in others. Ou may encounter some derision.This forum probably wasn't a great for her. She certainly doesn't seem to talk about it much.
Mooby you miscalculated the quantum wave. You probably do exist.

Don't remember who Codd is, but I really didn't like DaveDave, I couldn't stand the bloke - I really couldn't understand the hype, I think he was a nasty piece of work TBH. Maggie probably does have her positive traits (as I'm sure DaveDave did too), but to be honest, I shouldn't be figuring out ways to *best* interact with people who react to things they don't like explosively. If they want to throw their toys out of the pram because somebody isn't rubbing them in the right way then it's their problem. If I don't like how somebody's interacting with me, I either deal with it or talk to them about it, not throw hissy fits at people. I'd say that's the reasonable thing to do.
Quote from: rickymooston on June 01, 2012, 05:37:07 PMMooby you miscalculated the quantum wave. You probably do exist.I was busy riding the wave.
I get along with maggie fine; we dont agree on evrything. i consider her a friend and have seen she has a compassionate side. I am not supplying facts on her intereactions with other users but simply acknowledging that there were atheists with whom she didn't get along. I did casually observe that she insulted some of them in the course of the arguments. Explosive isn't a word that comes to mind wrt her for me but again, I wasn't involved. I'd say, if one wanted to learn about church history, theology or cats/dogs, that maggie is knowledgible. Given that I'm mostly an atheist adn she is a catholic, obviously I am likely to disagree with her reasoning on the existence of God.

Passers-by help get him out of vehicle
A man escaped with his life after his car overturned while passing on Highway 33 then burst into flames Friday night.
Two witnesses pulled the victim from the car before it was engulfed in fire.
The driver, a Taft man, suffered minor to moderate injuries but was alert and refusing transport to a hospital, Kern County Fire Department Battalion Chief Brent Moon said.
His name was not immediately available.
The crash took place about 8:15 p.m. on the highway west of the Caltrans yard, just outside of the Taft city limits.
One of the two men who helped pull the victim from his mangled Audi was driving eastbound on the highway when the vehicle passed him, then suddenly went out of control and overturned.
"He tried pass but he lost it," said Josh Abrams. "Something happened, like he had a blowout."
Abrams drove past the car as it overturned and was so close that engine oil or transmission fluid was splashed onto the driver's side of his pickup.
The car was badly mangled in the crash and Abrams said he couldn't even tell what model it was.
"I couldn't tell it was so mangled," he said. "it was gnarly."
Abrams and Kyle Earsley got the victim out of the vehicle and away from the scene before the car was engulfed in flames.
"It was sizzling right there. I thought it was going to blow up," Earsley said.
Highway 33 was closed for an hour after the crash.

As promised, Valve has released the first test release of SteamOS. From the FAQ:
SteamOS is a fork (derivative) of Debian GNU/Linux. The first version (SteamOS 1.0) is called 'alchemist' and it is based on the Debian 'wheezy' (stable 7.1) distribution.
The major changes made in SteamOS are:
- Backported eglibc 2.17 from Debian testing
- Added various third-party drivers and updated graphics stack (Intel and AMD graphics support still being worked on)
- Updated kernel tracking the 3.10 longterm branch (currently 3.10.11)
- Custom graphics compositor designed to provide a seamless transition between Steam, its games and the SteamOS system overlay
- Configured to auto-update from the Valve SteamOS repositories
You need to have an NVIDIA card for it to work, since Intel and AMD graphics are currently not yet supported (work is underway).

I will be decorating this rather large bisqueware bread platter just on the top portion (24" L) and then glaze fire to Cone 06. Trouble is, I can only set it at an angle in my little kiln. Can I do this? Will this piece be ok touching the sides of the fire brick? Thanks for your advice in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Description: Deba Hocho have a thicker blade and are suitable for cutting through meats and many other heavy cutting tasks. It is traditionally used for filleting fish as well as cutting chicken, pork and beef. Its heaviness and thickness allow for easy chopping through fish bones, while its ability to take on an extremely sharp edge allows for delicate work and the filleting of even the smallest fish.
Yoshikane's Suminagashi Traditional Hocho are each handmade and feature a Jigane which is made by repeatedly folding together two layers of different types of steels, creating a unique "wood pattern" on the side of the knife called suminagashi or damascus. This is then forge-welded to a layer of high carbon V2C steel. V2C comes from Takefu, is easy to sharpen, and holds an excellent edge. The blade is tempered to Rockwell c63. This process imparts a visual tension to the blade and a brilliant sharpness to the cutting edge. Because V2C is a carbon steel, these knives must be dried after use to prevent rust or tarnish.
Traditional Japanese chef's knives differ from European-styled knives in that they are sharpened with a bevel on only one side. The opposite side is slightly hollowed. Because of this, these knives can generally be honed to a sharper edge than can double bevel knives.
The half octagonal handle is formed from ho wood, a close relative of magnolia. The handle has front and rear ferrules formed from buffalo horn. Each blade comes razor sharp. Designed for left-handed use.

After three cancellations and several inches of snow on the ground, the Boonville Lady Pirates soccer team finally got the go-ahead last night in the season opener against the Fulton Hornets.
Although snow still covered parts of the field at the BHS Sports Complex, the Lady Pirates couldn't have asked for a better opener by beating Fulton in the final seconds of the match 2-1.
Boonville soccer coach Tim Brown said the girls have waited a long time for their first match, nearly five weeks, but they got the result they were looking for.
"We were nervous going in because we did not feel prepared (having spent only about five days outdoors on an actual field), and because we had to start the season with a conference and district match against a good team who had already played two matches, but our girls played pretty well overall," stated Brown. "Other than the first 15 minutes of the second half, we controlled play, spending most of the match in Fulton's end, and we created the most scoring chances. Now, we need to learn how to finish better."
The Lady Pirates, 1-0 overall and in the conference, will have little time to catch their breath with another conference match tonight at home against the Marshall Owls starting at 5 p.m.
Although Fulton already had two games in for the 2013 season, it was the Lady Pirates who controlled most of the first half while playing on the Lady Hornets end of the field. Nonetheless, Boonville and Fulton played to a 0-0 tie for the first 40 minutes of the match.
Meanwhile, in the second half, the Lady Hornets got on the board first with a goal at the 57 minute mark to go up 1-0.
Of course it didn't take long for Boonville to answer. Nine minutes to be exact. Although the Lady Pirates had one goal nullified, they would come back at the 66 minute mark to tie the match when senior McKenna McAreavy assisted senior Katie Vest on a goal.
Boonville and Fulton would battle back and forth for the next 13 minutes with the score knotted at 1-all. Meanwhile, at the 80 minute mark, Sophie Taube made a perfect pass to senior Bailey Pfeiffer for the winning goal.
The Lady Pirates also won the battle against Fulton for shot attempts and shots on goal in the match with 23-13 and 10-8, respectively.
The Lady Hornets, meanwhile, finished the match with seven fouls compared to just six for Boonville.
As for saves in the match, junior goalie Cassidy Renfrow had seven.
Boonville also won the JV match against Fulton by a score of 6-1.
While leading 4-1 at the break, Boonville's JV opened the match with a goal at the 5 minute mark on an assist from Daryl Fagan to Jessi Matney. Then, after Fulton tied the match with a goal at the 9 minute mark, the Lady Pirates came back and reeled off three more goals before the half. Freshman Kayla Cotten scored the second goal for Boonville at the 22-minute mark. Meanwhile, at the 25-minute mark, Christina Dalton assisted Angie Carney Jackson to make it 3-1. Then, to closeout the scoring in the first half, Jackson assisted Cotten again on a goal to extend the lead to 4-1.
The Lady Pirates would add two more goals in the second half, with Bailey Magyar assisting Holly Krumm at the 59-minute mark. Then, at the 65 minute mark, Matney picked up her second goal of the match on a penalty kick.
Coach Brown said the JV Lady Pirates looked solid from whistle to whistle. "Other than one catastrophic mistake in our penalty box (trying to settle a flighted ball directly in front of goal-a definite lack of experience type mistake), the play almost exclusively went our direction."
Boonville's JV finished the match with 37 shot attempts and 10 shots on goal compared to three shot attempts and three shots on goal by Fulton.
The Lady Pirates also had six fouls in the match compared to three for Fulton.
Boonville freshman Haylee Thomas also had two saves in the match.

Gorgeous Gift Wrap: A Style Guide
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 17
It's the thought that counts—but the head-turning presentation makes a gift especially memorable.
The rules of gift-giving—be it white elephant and Secret Santa exchanges or a loving remembrance for your nearest and dearest—dictate that the gift itself doesn't much matter; only the sentiment really counts. Truth be told, a presentation that demonstrates both care and flair is often remembered long after the gift itself is forgotten.
To illustrate the power of over-the-top packaging, we enlisted a wrap artist extraordinaire: paper virtuoso Alton DuLaney, winner of the Scotch Brand Most Gifted Wrapper contest. DuLaney exemplifies artistry with parcels that achieve sculpture-like status. From wild to trendy to glamorous, their frills, finery, and finishing touches sing with the joy of gift-giving.

"Any object can be turned into a gift with proper gift wrap," says DuLaney. "A gorgeous ribbon or beautiful bow tied around clean corners and crisp edges can really make something out of nothing."
Consider what ultimate accordion-style pleating can do for a well-mannered peplum. Use the same dressmaker technique to give a couture look to gift wrap. It's the perfect opportunity to use a second or third paper with a pretty design. Elegant tonal patterns of damask prettified with embellishments of gold-toned ribbons, braided rope, passamenterie, and lavish tassels confirm that tradition and good taste are forever in style.
Animal patterns—untamed in the wilds of fashion and furniture—provide the perfect skin for an unexpected gift. A black zipper references fashion and is positioned to resemble a jacket that reveals a colorful T-shirt beneath. Layers of paper and ribbon in leopard, zebra, and cheetah patterns roar in both their natural colorings and palettes du jour. For instance, a pink-and-white zebra paper mixed with black-and-white ribbon of the same species is ideal for a lady with a little bit (or a lot!) of sass.

Mixing two bows together in complementary colors creates a rocker-chic look that is both casual and easy to assemble. For a spunkier look, combine animal print with a contrasting bright color, like hot pink.
A pop of red lipstick and dynamite accessories dramatize the simplest of holiday garments: the little black dress. Following fashion's lead, ebony-patterned papers flocked in luxurious velvet, printed in party dress patterns, and bejeweled with glittery crystals sparkle like stars on a midnight clear. Paper cut to form a motif or a colorful band creates a layered effect.

A handsome combination of black and gray makes the perfect presentation for a man's gift. Frills are kept to a minimum: Papers rich in texture create drama, while layers of folded black-and-red paper add depth. Thick grosgrain ribbon is left in a loose knot for an unexpected and imperfect detail.
Echoing a trend in home furnishings, an ikat print paper with an ivory base and shots of fuchsia, washed indigo, and acid green exudes fashionable holiday cheer. Metallic ribbons gathered into pretty bows are tied around papers in paisley, hydrangea, and geometric patterns, making packages merrily au courant.

Holiday ornaments are the perfect way to accessorize a package while adding color and personality. Festive glass balls are both inexpensive and easy to string together on top of a wrapped gift. Word to the wise: The balls can break easily, so use caution when transporting packages!
Riff on chic fads for your favorite fashionista. Silhouettes, feathers, and houndstooth are all strutting the runways this year. Pink-and-silver overscaled houndstooth requires only a subtle, tailored bow on a package wrapped to look like an on-trend handbag. A silhouette of the recipient affixed to a solid-colored box makes a gift tag redundant. Peacock feathers on peacock-patterned gift wrap double the fun.

"Floral Trail" wallpaper in fuchsia on pearl beige, York Wallcoverings.
Nature is often the world's best craft store, as these color-rich peacock feathers can attest. For a more traditional holiday touch, consider using pinecones, sprigs of evergreen, or even cinnamon sticks for fragrance and a shot of color inspiration.
From blue willow china to handsome nautical stripes, the beloved combination of blue and white is perennially in style. Patterns of delicate toile, Moorish geometrics, and playful stripes inspire spirited gift boxes. "This combination can move from conservative to over the top," says DuLaney. "For a limited palette, it offers such a variety of looks."

"Stone Trellis" wallpaper, Cole & Son through Lee Jofa.
Tails do not always have to end with a boring straight edge. When topping off a wrapped package with a patterned bow, trim the tail along the shape of the pattern for an alternative flourish.
One of modernism's precepts is that even in its simplest form, a graphic element makes a statement. Here, ornamentation avoids fluff and fuss, with silver trim austerely outlining aqua-and-black paper, and metallic twine randomly wrapped around silvery paper for a textured look. Zigzag-cut paper adds a new angle to wrap with a linear motif.

Wind string or twine around a wrapped gift for a simple embellishment that doesn't require much artistic skill. The silver twine pictured above highlights the colors of the paper while disguising any imperfections caused by tape, creasing, or tears in the wrapping paper. Consider using yarn, strips of faux fur, ribbon, or other inexpensive materials to create looks that range from casually rustic to drop-dead glamorous.
The Sidecar, price available upon request from Moore & Giles [1-800-737-0169]
This beautifully crafted bar cart, The Sidecar by Moore and Giles, is a great way to store liquor, glassware, bar tools, and anything else needed to complete your own miniature bar. The cart, made of Virginia black walnut, birch, leather, aluminum, and brass, is wheeled to make sure the party can travel with you. Perfect for drink-lovers without the space for a full bar.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, who oversaw a moratorium on offshore drilling after the BP oil spill and promoted alternative energy sources throughout the nation, will step down in March.
A former U.S. senator from Colorado, Salazar ran the Interior Department throughout President Barack Obama's first term and pushed renewable power such as solar and wind and the settlement of a longstanding dispute with American Indians.
With Environmental Protection Agency chief Lisa Jackson also leaving the administration and Energy Secretary Steven Chu expected to depart, Obama will have a clean slate of top officials overseeing energy and environment issues.
In a statement Wednesday, Obama said Salazar had helped "usher in a new era of conservation for our nation's land, water and wildlife" and had played a major role in efforts to expand responsible development of the nation's domestic energy resources.
Salazar said in a statement that the Interior Department was helping secure "a new energy frontier" and cited an aggressive agenda to reform oil and gas leases, which he said had increased offshore drilling safety.
Under his watch, the Interior Department has authorized nearly three dozen solar, wind and geothermal energy projects on public lands that provide enough electricity to power more than 3 million homes, Salazar said.
Obama has vowed to focus on efforts to bolster renewable energy in a second term while continuing to expand production of oil and natural gas. He also has made it clear he will focus on climate change, an issue he has acknowledged was sometimes overlooked during his first term.
Former Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire, a longtime Obama ally, is among those mentioned as a potential successor to Salazar, along with John Berry, director of the White House Office of Personnel Management. Berry is a former assistant interior secretary and the director of the National Zoo. Gregoire, whose term expired Wednesday, also is considered a candidate to head the Energy Department or the EPA.
Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., a senior member of the House Natural Resources Committee and a favorite of the environmental community, also is believed to be under consideration for Salazar's position.
Salazar, 57, entered the Senate with Obama in 2005. At Interior, he gained the most attention for his role in the drilling moratorium, a key part of the administration's response to the April 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico. It was one of the largest environmental disasters in U.S. history and led to the unprecedented shutdown of offshore drilling.
Business groups and Gulf Coast political leaders said the shutdown crippled the oil and gas industry and cost thousands of jobs, even aboard rigs not operated by BP PLC. But Salazar said the industry-wide moratorium was the correct call and that his ultimate goal was to allow deep-water operations to resume safely.
"Today, drilling activity in the Gulf is surpassing levels seen before the spill, and our nation is on a promising path to energy independence," Salazar said in his statement Wednesday.
The moratorium was lifted in October 2010, although offshore drilling operations did not begin for several more months. Some Gulf Coast lawmakers continue to complain about the slow pace of drilling permits under the Interior Department, which renamed and revamped the agency that oversees offshore drilling in the wake of the spill.
Salazar also approved the nation's first offshore wind farm, Cape Wind, off the Massachusetts coast.
On land, Salazar has promoted solar power in the West and Southwest, approving an unprecedented number of projects, even as oil and gas projects continued to be approved on federal land.
Salazar also oversaw the settlement of a multibillion-dollar dispute with Native American tribes that had lingered for more than a decade.
Throughout his tenure, Salazar tangled with oil companies. He criticized the George W. Bush administration for what he called a "headlong rush" to lease public lands, saying officials treated oil and gas executives as if they were "the kings of the world." Soon after taking office, Salazar suspended 60 of 77 leases in Utah that had been approved under Bush, setting a confrontational tone that would continue the next four years.
Jim Noe, an oil executive and head of a shallow-water drilling coalition, said Wednesday that Salazar's actions "hurt the industry, thousands of workers and the small businesses and communities that depend upon them. We hope that future leadership at the Interior Department will be able to take a more balanced approach to natural resource development."
Frances Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, said Salazar worked to strike a balance between responsible energy development and vital environmental protection.
Salazar set a sound foundation for solar and wind power on federal lands, while protecting areas where development does not make sense, Beinecke said.
Sierra Club executive director Michael Brune hailed Salazar for opening seven new national parks and 10 wildlife refuges while protecting Arctic areas from offshore drilling.
Salazar's leadership "has helped put our nation on a path where protecting our natural legacy and wild lands is a priority, not an afterthought," Brune said.

Today I pause and bless the Roman Catholic Church for a blessing it has given me. I should really say a Roman Catholic Church. It stands in the midst of downtown Newton, stretching its single shingled limb toward heaven every day of the year, reminding each passerby that the God of the heavens made his home among men. It is a beautiful church, much more elegant and grand than any of its protestant sisters (I could have said step-sisters and turned this into one large Cinderella metaphor; be thankful I didn't) scattered around town. No other building downtown can match it. Cloudy days make all the other flat dirty-brick Main Street façades look like dreary Atheists lining the street, but St. Mary's stands tall, striking and strong, inviting storms—devil-conjured or otherwise—in the knowledge that the church will prevail. It is even more grand in contrast to the modernist, utilitarian Harvey County Correctional facility just a few steps away. Two buildings stand staring at each other across 8th street. One can free the soul and change the person from the heart out; one can imprison the body but do little about the soul; both have good uses.
Saint Mary's is a symbol of real, divine strength. The very word, "Catholic" brings to the imagination visions of vast and unordered peasant armies; red cross bearing knights and colossal cathedrals under construction for five hundred years—all in an attempt to reflect the glory of God. St. Mary's captures all the good and noble parts of that ancient church energy and blesses Newton with it every day.
At its core, my delight in our downtown Catholic Church is in its architecture. This may be scoffed at as weak and 'surfacy', but I can and will be thankful for anything that reflects Christ's beauty, and Saint Mary's is a beautiful place. So today I say, "Thanks" to the catholic church on 8th street. I admit, I'm a protestant and attend Grace Community Church, but I cannot help praising the grandeur of Saint Mary's steeple, statues and brick: reflections of the grandeur of God.

Hewlett-Packard has, after nearly 11 months, finally launched its Slate 500 tablet computing device, featuring an 8.9-inch touchscreen display, a 1.8 GHz Intel Atom processor, 2 GB of RAM, 64 GB of flash storage, and Microsoft's WIndows 7 operating system. However, the Slate 500 is a different beast than the iPad-killing consumer device that Steve Ballmer so publicly touted at his keynote address at the Consumer Electronics Show back in January 2010. Instead, HP has re-imagined the Slate 500 as a tool for business, government, and enterprise customers with serious vertical integration—although the reality is that anyone can buy one of the systems from HP for $799.
From a hardware perspective, the Slate 500 is almost exactly what the industry has been expecting for over a year. Built around a 1.8 GHz Intel Atom processor, the Slate 500 runs Windows 7 and users interact with it using an 8.9-inch 1,024 by 600-pixel touchscreen display. The unit features 2 GB of RAM, 64 GB of flash storage, and features both a front-facing VGA-resolution camera for video chat and a rear-facing 3 megapixel camera for more significant pictures. The Slate 500 features one USB 2.0 port for peripherals (and that can include an optical drive, available separately), an SD card slot, integrated 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, and promises up to five hours of battery life. Of course, since the system runs Windows 7, it's compatible with a wide variety of enterprise and mainstream computing applications, has full HTML browsing capabilities, and supports both Adobe Flash and AIR technologies.
However, the Slate 500 is not the consumer-friendly system that HP first promised when Microsoft's Steve Ballmer demoed the unit a year ago, nor the consumer-savvy device HP teased in subsequent videos. Instead, the device is strictly aimed at business customers, particularly folks in health care, hospitality, banking, and other vertical industries. Things like e-reading capabilities, video calling, and content creation that HP teased in its promotional video for the Slate are gone: this is a strict Windows 7 machine, and folks who want to do those things will need to find Windows 7 apps for those purposes—and hope they can be used at all outside a traditional notebook/desktop computer environment. And then there's the pricing: $799 for a Windows 7-capable tablet is only $30 less than Apple's top-of-the-line iPad with 3G—and the HP Slate 500 has no 3G data capability.
For consumer tablets, HP is placing all its bets on webOS 2.0, announced this week. So far, the only announced webOS 2.0 device is the Palm Pre 2 (on sale now in France, and coming to Verizon Wireless in "coming months"), although HP has said it plans to launch webOS-based consumer tablets in 2011.
If there's anything Steve Ballmer's infamous CES keynote proved, it's that despite rolling touch capabilities into the operating system, using Windows 7 from a touch-based device can be an awkward exercise in futility. Interface elements that can work with a traditional keyboard and mouse can be almost unusable with a touch-based interface, and is applications can't figure out gestures, it doesn't make any difference whether an operating system supports them. HP may be right that there's a business market for a small Windows 7 tablet, but now that the Apple iPad has been on the market for the better part of a year—and the gates are about to open on consumer-friendly Android tablets—HP might be right to spin the Slate 500 away from consumers' hands.

For the first time in eons, Microsoft has changed its logo. "The logo has two components: the logotype and the symbol. For the logotype, we are using the Segoe font which is the same font we use in our products as well as our marketing communications. The symbol is important in a world of digital motion. The symbol's squares of color are intended to express the company's diverse portfolio of products." Nice logo, clean, concise. With Windows Phone 8, Office 2013 and Windows 8 on the way, the company could use a fresh coat of paint. Confusing that they're using what would've been a better Windows logo than the Windows 8 logo, but alas.

NATCHITOCHES -- Tommy Hodson is considered one of the top quarterbacks to come out of Lafourche Parish.
NATCHITOCHES -- Tommy Hodson is considered one of the top quarterbacks to come out of Lafourche Parish.
Hodson was an all-state quarterback at Central Lafourche and was parlayed that success into a record-setting career at LSU.
This summer, Hodson will add something else to his impressive football r�sume. He will become a hall of famer.
On Saturday, Hodson was named as one of the nine inductees for the Louisiana Sports Hall Fame 2013 induction class.
Joining Hodson in the 2013 class are former NBA All-Star Shaquille o'Neal, tennis great Chanda Rubin, eight-time NFL Pro Bowl selection Kevin Mawae, former Grambling and American Basketball Association star James Jones, nationally-acclaimed jockey Ronald Ardoin, former UNO and NBA player Ervin Johnson, former Newman High basketball coach the late Ed "Skeets" Tuohy and amateur all-around athlete the late Anna Koll.
"What an incredible inaugural class for the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame Museum. I am particularly proud that three LSU Tigers I have watched throughout their careers are part of this class," Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne said. "The museum is going to house a magnificent collection showcasing the many sports legends who are part of Louisiana's extraordinary sports legacy."
The 2013 induction class will be officially enshrined on June 29 in Natchitoches to culminate the June 27-29 Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame Induction Celebration. The group will be the first class to be welcomed into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame Museum, operated by the Louisiana State Museum system in a partnership with the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. The striking two-story, 27,500-square foot structure faces Cane River Lake in the National Historic Landmark District of Natchitoches and will open this summer.
A 30-member Louisiana Sports Writers Association committee selected the 2013 inductees. The panel considered a record 146 nominees from 26 different sport categories on a 33-page ballot, said Hall of Fame chairman Doug Ireland.
Hodson was a four-year starter and All-SEC quarterback from 1986-89 at LSU. He guided the Tigers to the 1988 SEC championship while setting SEC and LSU records with 9,115 career passing yards and 69 touchdowns. He played seven NFL seasons for four teams, finishing with the New Orleans Saints.
O'Neal exploded into prominence playing for Hall of Fame coach Dale Brown at LSU, where he was the 1991 national Player of the Year. During a 19-year NBA career, O'Neal won four world championships, a 1996 Olympic gold medal, three MVP honors in 15 All-Star Game appearances and posting career averages of 23.7 points and 10.9 rebounds for Orlando, the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami, Phoenix, Cleveland and Boston. He was named one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players in 1996.
Rubin was ranked as high as No. 6 in the world in singles and No. 9 in doubles as a pro. She reached four Grand Slam semifinals in doubles, winning at the Australian Open in 1996, and made deep runs in singles in each major, along with claiming the 1992 Wimbledon Junior Singles crown at 16.
Mawae had a 16-year NFL career, the last 14 as a center for Seattle, the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans. He retired after playing in the 2010 Pro Bowl but remained president of the NFL Players Association until 2012, playing a key role in the NFL's labor dispute in 2011.
Jones helped Grambling win three Southwestern Athletic Conference titles while averaging 20 points and eight rebounds under Hall of Fame coach Fred Hobdy before being the 13th pick in the 1967 NBA draft. Jones opted to sign with New Orleans in the ABA, and made six All-Star Game appearances in seven seasons and became the second 2,000-point scorer in league history before playing his last two years in the NBA.
Johnson never played high school basketball and was a 6-foot-11 bagboy at a Baton Rouge grocery when introduced to then-UNO coach Tim Floyd. In four seasons (1990-93) for the Privateers, he developed into a second-team All-American who helped UNO to two NCAA Tournaments and was a first-round pick (23rd overall) 1993 NBA draft. He played 845 games for Seattle, Denver, Milwaukee and Minnesota.
Ardoin finished a 30-year riding career with 5,226 wins, becoming only the 16th jockey to reach the 5,000-victory plateau.
Tuohy developed into a revered prep basketball coach who won three state titles among nine state tournament appearances in 15 seasons before a 1975 stroke that halted his coaching career. His Newman teams won district championships each year as he went 403-74 and never lost more than nine games in a season. He passed away in 1982, at age 51.
Koll was described as "New Orleans' Greatest All-Around Girl Athlete" in the 1930s as she excelled in tennis, track and field, indoor baseball and basketball. She won the Southern women's tennis championship twice, set Southern AAU records in the sprints, hurdles and broad jump, led the AAU indoor baseball title three straight years as she led the league in hitting, and made all-star teams in basketball. She dies in 1988 at the age of 83.

AUBURN — Authorities on Friday continued their investigation into an armed robbery at Illini Bank in Auburn Thursday afternoon.
The FBI on Friday released two additional close-up bank surveillance camera images of the robber.
Auburn Police Chief Bruce Centko said no one was hurt and no shots were fired when the gunman entered the bank about 2 p.m. He left the area on foot with an undetermined amount of cash.
An Illinois State Police canine officer attempted to track the man. The FBI was also called to the scene.
"By the way the dog responded to the track, we believe the subject got into a vehicle and left," Centko said.
Illini Bank is at 1311 W. Jefferson St. on the western edge of Auburn. That's adjacent to Illinois 4 and a little north of Illinois 104.
Centko said the location of the bank could have been a factor in the robbery.
Also, as a precaution, police notified the local schools.
"They held dismissal until we were done tracking and were reasonably positive the suspect had left the area in a vehicle. We did put units near the school when they were dismissing," Centko said.
The robber was described as white, about 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 180 pounds. He was wearing a dark hoodie and had pulled the hood down over his face. He was also wearing a baseball cap, blue jeans and tennis shoes.
Centko said it's unusual for a bank in Auburn to be robbed.
"I've been the chief here for 20 years and this is the first bank robbery we have had," he said.
Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to call Auburn police at 438-3351.

18 human heads found at Chicago airport
18 human heads found at Chicago airport
Customs officials made a gruesome discovery at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport -- 18 frozen human heads.
The heads were found during a routine X-ray of cargo that was passing through the facility, The Associated Press reported.
Police said the heads had been used for medical research and were being returned to Illinois for cremation.
But a glitch in paperwork held them up as U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents investigated, ABC News reported.
The somewhat grisly discovery is not that uncommon.
Doctors, medical facilities and research companies ship human body parts all the time, officials told ABC News, but this time the shipment raised flags due to the paperwork problem.

Luxurious in chocolate brown leather, armchairs are wide enough for the tallest, lankiest range rider or teenager, yet still cozy enough for two to snuggle in front of the ledgestone fireplace. Perhaps just kick back for a movie with your feet propped comfortable on the coffee table - after all, this is one antique travelin' box that's seen plenty of boots and bare feet.
When you're ready to tempt Lady Luck just pull up a chair at the round table, count out your stake, and remember the sound advice - know when to hold, know when to fold, and know when to run. Mind you, you likely won't want to run farther than the kitchen - warm and welcoming in light-stained wood - for popcorn and ice cold beer, wine and cheese, or maybe burritos with guacamole, salsa, and all the fixings. Good grits no matter what your choice.
Adding a sassy splash of drama, a geometric area rug reintroduces the black and red of clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades - or could it be just the Joker playing tricks from behind the eight ball? Perhaps it's time to retire to the patio and contemplate the answer while watching the sunset.

ADRIAN — Lenawee Project Connect, an annual event to link people in need of social services with agencies that provide those services, will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 30 at the Merchants Building at the Lenawee County Fair and Event Grounds.
A point-in-time count of homeless people will take place the same day.
The event, sponsored by Lenawee County's Continuum of Care, will bring together almost 60 social service agencies and resource providers to meet with those who might need help, said Lisa Riley, secretary for Continuum of Care and fundraiser for Family Counseling and Children's Services.
Help with housing, employment, job training, medical care, food assistance and other services will be available, Riley said.
Those who attend can take advantage of free flu shots and health screenings and get a free meal, a free blanket and other cold-weather clothing items, as well as personal hygiene items, Riley said.
Some new features this year will be free haircuts on-site and a mobile food pantry, she said. Confidential AIDS testing will be available.
Participants also can take part in "make-and-take" events in which they help make home-made baby wipes, laundry soap or hot chocolate — and possibly other items — and take the product as well as the recipe for it with them, Riley said.
A local vendor is providing free Wi-Fi so service providers can help participants with applications and other needs on the spot, Riley said.
The merchants building at the fairgrounds offers the event almost three times the space it had at the Lenawee County Human Services Building, where it took place last year, Riley said.
"We're going to be able to have a lot more services," she said.
Some churches, Lenawee Transportation, a local taxi company and volunteer drivers all are offering free transportation to the event from anywhere in the county, Riley said. People in need of transportation will be able to call 264-6360 to get a ride, she said.
Last year, 175 people attended Project Connect, Riley said. Organizers expect more than 200 people this year, she said.
The event is being called Project Connect this year rather than Project Homeless Connect as in past years to emphasize that anyone in need, regardless of housing status, is welcome, Riley said.
Riley emphasized that the event is for anyone in the county, not just for people in Adrian.
The point-in-time count of homeless people, which will take place the same day, is required every two years by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development for communities to be able to receive federal grants to help the homeless.
As in past years, people who attend Project Connect will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their housing status, Riley said.
Social service agencies that deal with the homeless and some school districts also will participate in the count, she said.
Continuum of Care conducted a point-in-time count in 2012 even though it was not required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. That count revealed 429 homeless people or people in housing crisis in Lenawee County.
Project Connect is important because people in need often find it difficult to go to all the necessary locations to get help, Riley said.
"This is a great one-day thing (where) they can come under one roof and get everything they need," she said.
If you go
WHAT: Project Connect
WHEN: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 30

Santa Cruz native John Mel, who now lives in Newport Beach, was runner-up to Eithan Osborne in the Surfing America Prime West series stop at T Street in San Clemente on Dec. 8-9.
Mel won both his first-round heat and semifinal heat to advance to the boys 14-and-under final, where he scored a two-wave point total of 14.34. Osborne scored an even 15 for the win.

Mel also competed in the boys 16U division, where he again won his first heat, but he was eliminated in the quarterfinals.
Nic H'dez, another Santa Cruz native, had a similar story, winning his first heat in the boys 18U division, but suffering elimination in the quarters.
In the boys 14U standings, Mel is in 13th place, and in the boys 18U standings, H'dez is in second.

NOVA "Meteor Strike" A 7,000-ton asteroid crashes into the earth's atmosphere, explodes and falls to earth across a wide swath near the Ural Mountains on February 15, 2013. Dubbed the Siberian Meteor, it explodes with the power of 30 Hiroshima bombs, damaging buildings and sending more than 1,000 people to the hospital. Countless digital dashboard cameras record the event creating crowd-sourced data that allows NOVA crews and impact scientists to hit the ground in Russia in search of debris from the explosion, and clues to the meteor's origin and makeup. The program also explores some even greater explosions of the past, asking if Earth is in the cross-hairs of a celestrial shooting gallery.G

Reflections upon a politically active grandfather.
I had a grandfather who once told me, in his 80s I believe, that if he had it to do all over again he wouldn't have been involved in politics. That short-lived exchange with my grandfather has always lingered in the back of my mind and has often led me to ask myself, regarding political involvement, what price am I willing to pay, and is it worth it? In any case, voting has been and always will be a high priority for me. If we don't exercise this most basic of American liberties then chances are one day we may lose this right and privilege.
Throughout much of his life, my grandfather who wrote hundreds (perhaps thousands) of letters to politicians and others on subjects ranging from Communism to abortion, after 1973). His parents came from a region controlled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bohemia, which enjoyed a brief, 30 year period of independence as the newly formed nation of Czechoslovakia following World War I. After World War II, the communists took over and reigned there for over 40 years.
My grandfather paid a price for his political activism, spending two years in jail in the 1950s because of, according to him, his opposition to communism. His wife, my grandmother, said that as much as anything he likely went to jail because he wouldn't leave the politicians alone with his letters. Anyway, he was caught up in the wave of 1950s McCarthyism and paid a price for his principles.
When I reflect upon my grandfather, it makes me ponder what my beliefs are. I tend to believe that moral issues are one principle worth standing for. As our nation loses its way and as our values become watered down to the point that we are becoming a valueless nation, now is a good time to stand up for true and unchanging principles. Hopefully, I won't have to one day spend time in jail like my grandfather did, but, with the course our nation is headed, who knows what the future holds for any of us.

text: I've noticed that some writer's are incredibly good at getting in the mind of their characters. For instance I'm reading Alice In Wonderland for fun and I had never noticed before how well Lewis Carroll gets into the mind of a child. Despite Alice being clearly a very smart child, her mind jumps around from one subject to the next quite frequently just a child's would. She wonders one thing and then her mind jumps to something else. Even though she is a strange world, she navigates through it with an incredible since of logic, (or at least as logical as any child that age could.) At any rate I'm enjoying getting reacquainted with this wonderful classic and suggest it for anyone who's considering reading it.
