SAN JOSE, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes announced the pricing structure for general seating for their 18,000-seat stadium that will be located on Coleman Ave. in San Jose. The new stadium continues the Earthquakes' tradition of providing very affordable ticket options for the majority of the seating. The prices will compare very well to the current prices at Buck Shaw Stadium for Quakes matches. Additionally, the Earthquakes will not charge a personal seat license fee for any season tickets sold at their new stadium.
"Our goal is to provide a world-class soccer experience at an affordable price," said Earthquakes President Dave Kaval. "We have designed a stadium with the fans in mind with great sightlines for all seats and our pricing structure matches that fan-first philosophy. We are also proud to offer all of our seats without a personal seat license."
Compared with Buck Shaw Stadium prices, rates will raise an average of just $1.60 per seat for 95 percent of the new stadium. The club will place a premium price on seats within the first five rows of each section. More details and a full pricing chart are available by visiting www.sjearthquakes.com/newstadium.
Among the premium seating options on sale at the club's new venue is the Midfield Club. The Earthquakes will have 500 seats at midfield that include upgraded plush seats, a season parking pass and an invitation to future VIP events. Each of these seats will be in the first five rows of their section. Further augmenting the club's new stadium seating options is the addition of the Premier Midfield and Premier Midline sections. Each of these will feature an upgraded, larger plush seat.
The new stadium will also feature a 1,400-person Supporters' Section with a private clubhouse. The clubhouse will include a bar, food options and a place to store tifo while serving as a rallying point for San Jose's diehard fans before kickoff.
"The Supporters' Section is a unique part of the club and creates a special atmosphere on gamedays," Kaval said. "We worked hand-in-hand with the 1906 Ultras and Casbah to create a dedicated space for what we believe will be the best Supporters' Section in Major League Soccer."
Season tickets at the new stadium will be purchased using a priority-based system. Current Earthquakes season ticket holders have the first priority based on their tenure with the club and will be given time slots to select seats starting in November 2012. In order to secure their time slot, the seat holder must renew by Oct. 21, 2012. They will have the option to buy up to double their current season ticket allotment for any section at the new stadium.
Next in the priority list are fans that become a 2013 season ticket holder by Oct. 21, 2012. Those who do will be placed into a queue for seat selection time slots starting January 2013. Finally, fans will also have the option to place a $100 deposit for 2014 season tickets to be placed into a queue for seat selection time slots starting in July 2013.
To peruse season ticket options, fans can visit www.sjearthquakes.com/2013. Fans can also call the Earthquakes' front office at 408-556-7700.
The Earthquakes announced Oct. 21 as their groundbreaking date for the club's privately financed 18,000-seat stadium at 1125 Coleman Ave. in San Jose. As part of the ceremony, the Quakes will aim to break the Guinness World Record for most people taking part in a groundbreaking event, a figure that stands at 4,532.
To guarantee a spot in the ceremony, fans should RSVP by registering at www.sjearthquakes.com/groundbreaking. Each fan that registers will receive a voucher via email that needs to be presented on the day of the ceremony. Anyone planning to attend can park for free starting at 10:30 a.m. at the new stadium site on the corner of Coleman Ave. and Newhall Ave. Check-in for diggers begins at 11:30 a.m. To ensure participation, fans should arrive before noon.

Happy Halloween, everyone. From my safe, warm, dry home in NorCal, I feel a bit guilty to be writing about a fun holiday when so many of my friends and family are dealing with the utter destruction of Hurricane Sandy. My sister's house has 2.5 feet of water in it, and my parents-in-law are dealing with a downed power line on their property, so all is not a bed of roses. To make matters worse, I can't do anything from across the country except call (all of the airports are closed, and even if I were there, I don't know what I could do to help, since the flooding is still pretty extensive).
I guess the only thing I can do is to get happy-ish about Halloween. We carved a jack-o-lantern, we have plenty of chocolate candy to give away, my kids are in adorable costumes, and it looks like it's going to be a fine night for trick or treating.
And here's something really scary: I am guest blogging at Guilty Pleasures today with a spooky excerpt from Deep Autumn Heat, which just happens to take place on Halloween night! Couldn't have planned that one better if I'd tried. You can win a rare paper copy of the book just by leaving a comment. I'm also still running my Goodreads giveaway for Blaze of Winter, so please stop on by and register to win one of 5 paper copies I'm giving out. On the writing front, I've begun my edits for Long Simmering Spring – hooray! And to round out the Star Harbor fun, I found out that my official release date for Slow Summer Burn is August 12, 2013.
Happy Halloween, indeed.
And to all those folks cleaning up from Sandy: Be safe and hang in there! You are in my thoughts and prayers!

It's Raining Forms
When I got back to work the next time (for a bloody day shift too), the new documentation policies were in place. I tried to keep up with the mountain of paperwork while trying to provide meaningful care but inevitably fell behind because there are only 12 hours in a shift and my bladder and declining blood sugar levels can only be ignored for so long. On my way home, I felt quite awful for ignoring some of my patients and rushing them because I had to fill out pointless forms which were designed for the sole purpose of tormenting nurses. The following week, a staff meeting for the nurses was called by the nurse clinician and the manager to inquire about the 'barriers' that prevented us from filling out the forms. It was nice knowing that I wasn't the only one being entombed by one useless form after another but having woken up early (again!), my brain to mouth filter was malfunctioning. I suggested that perhaps she should hire an army of form fillers so that the useless form gods are appeased with the sacrifice of millions of trees while patient care remains unchanged. Amidst the chuckles and snorts of my coworkers, I noticed that the manager and clinician were not amused but I still stand by my suggestion.
The next time I get asked what I hate most about nursing, I will now modify my answer to waking up early to fill out forms – twice!

Then they shouldn't have asked, eh?
Hehe. I loved your answer btw, having a special hatred for bureaucracy in any form..

For a world that is supposed to be on the way to becoming paperless, it seems quite the opposite.

I believe the barriers to filling out paperwork is called patient care. One must have priorities.

Dr. G totally hit it on the head.
I have to say that I am a little jealous actually. You only hate waking up in the morning. I hate waking up no matter what time it is.

Amen! Oh the irony -- forms created to ensure good patient care...that take valuable time away from good patient care. I keep missing the mandatory meetings we have to talk about forms. It's not intentional -- I just don't notice the memos amongst the massive amounts of paper hanging all over the walls (even on the bathroom door -- give me a break!).

"designed for the sole purpose of tormenting nurses" omg...I nearly fell off my chair laughing so hard! I work ER out here in BC, so I'm assuming our paperwork isn't that much different...it seems every day I go to work, the educators are introducing a new piece of paper I have to fill out. Our "Admission Pack" (7 pages, for now) grows by at least one sheet of paper each month, which doesn't include, an OR pack (at least 5 additional pages), or more specialized forms (blood transfusions, glucose monitoring, wound assessment, ortho/neurovascular assessment) that can be brought out as needed.
To make matters worse, we are asked to assist various research projects, the most current one is "Early Sepsis Identification at Triage" where if a patients meets certain criteria, triage is expected to *gasp!* fill out a form! Not surprisingly, the research forms aren't getting filled out. I'm certain a committee will be struck to determine what barriers prevent this from getting done. I may submit your blog entry.

Last day of vacation, and my largely ignored to-do list was foremost in my mind. I dropped my sons off at daycare and got some errands taken care of. I came home to attack the pile of laundry that never seems to diminish, took a glance at Facebook, and the world stopped.
CNN had posted a story about the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., saying two adults had been killed. My horror multiplied when I saw the first comment on the post, saying that other outlets were reporting that 27 were dead. "That can't be right. That can't be right. Please let that be wrong."
I turned on the TV and started flipping through the channels and realized that it was worse than I'd even imagined. I watched, stunned, as the story continued to unfold, one horrifying detail at a time. All I could think about was the poor parents still waiting in the staging area to find out their children's fate, and knowing that the longer they waited, the less likely there was going to be good news.
And after a while, I realized I didn't care a whit about my to-dos. I spent half a moment contemplating whether I should try to maintain the kids' evening routine, then decided I didn't care about that, either. Not today. I needed to go get my boys and hug them. Now.
On the short drive to daycare, I got more and more emotional, but I pulled it together before I got to my 4-year-old's classroom. He wasn't ready to leave, so I stayed and watched show-and-tell and then went outside to play with him and his friends. A game of chase with a bunch of preschoolers was tonic for the soul, and I reveled in their contagious joy as they called out to me -- "Isaac's Mommy! Isaac's Mommy! Chase me! Chase ME!"
But it was bittersweet tonic because everything about these soon-to-be-kindergarteners screams, "Potential! Future! Nothing but time in front of us!" (One little girl, peppering me with such exclamations as, "Isaac's Mommy, can I ask you one more question? When do you go to sleep?" made me think, "This one's going to be a reporter.") And of course, today's events remind us that you don't know what's going to happen. You just don't.
The future was robbed from these little babies in Connecticut today and from their families. It's just wrong. It's just unfair. It's not OK. It's mind-bogglingly unacceptable. Against the natural order. And then I start to think about how many lives have been cut short not only by this tragedy, but also by illnesses and accidents -- still more things we can't control -- and despair and fear start to overtake.
I don't know what to do but hug my boys, pray for these families, light a candle, remember ... and to revel in every moment I can. Get chased by preschoolers. Write down my kids' funny quotes. Watch them learn and grow and be. Be present. Read more books with them. Play more. Laugh more. Tell them I love them even more, every day, with words and actions. Revel. And be thankful for every day. For every hour, even as my heart breaks for those who have been robbed of these moments. Because you just can't know what the future holds.

A United States International Tennis Federation senior tennis team on which two locals, Frank Ackley and Vinnie Horcasitas, played recently won the Amigos Cup in Merida, Mexico.
Ackley, Horcasitas, and Mark Harrison, who, in the summer, is the head pro at the East Hampton Tennis Club, played together in the same tournament two years ago, but the Mexicans successfully argued then that they should keep the Cup even though Hurricane Ida, with Mexico holding a slim 6-4 lead, had forced the cancellation of 50 of the scheduled 60 matches.
"Remember the Cup!" the three stateside amigos said at the time, noting that when the Davis Cup-style tournament was halted in advance of the hurricane's arrival, the U.S. was winning all seven of the matches that were under way.
Thus this year's win, which enabled the U.S. team's captain, Andy Lake, to take the cup back with him to Florida, had been, said Ackley, particularly satisfying.
Playing on red clay courts at a resort in the colonial city that he described as "knock-dead gorgeous," Ackley, who's 62, won four of the seven matches he played, including two singles matches.
"In my first [50-plus] match," he said, "I played a guy known as 'the Cat,' a guy who'd played Davis Cup for Mexico in the day. A very nice guy, but tough! He'd been fourth in the world championships. I went down early — it took me a while to get going. I lost the first set 6-2. In the second it went 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, and then, after he went down 0-40 on his serve, he dug in his heels and I was dead and lost 6-3."
"I was coming off the courts when they ask me if I'm ready to go out again. I was dripping wet. The Cat was the best player in the senior division. They gave me 30 to 45 minutes to shower, and I'm back out on the courts again. This time, I beat my guy 6-0, 7-5. I'm hoping to go to the pool now, but then they tell me I've got to play doubles! I'm over 60 and I've never played three matches in a day in my life before. . . . We lost 7-5, 6-4. I was done for the day."
"The next day, Saturday, I played the number-two guy on the senior team, Marcel Bouffer. I beat him 6-3, 6-2. I'm going off and they ask me, 'How much time do you need?' I was stiff! My partner was limping during the warm-up, and I knew we were in for it; they were going to lob him all day. But we won 6-4, 7-6."
"On Sunday, we were up by like six matches, each worth a point, with eight to play. So, guess what, they take out their seniors, everyone but the top two, and the guy I'm matched with tells me he's 39! They put in all young guys, and the older ones didn't even show up to watch."
". . . Yes, it's supposed to be 50-and-over, but it's not set in stone. It's in the bylaws, the fine print. I'd played six matches and they're subbing in fresh guys. Andy Lake was out on the court, so I couldn't ask him. I was going to ask their captain if this was allowed, but then I decided to take my beating for the team. My guy ran all over the court like a chicken. I knew the handwriting was on the wall. . . . But in the end, we won 28 matches and they won 25. We won the Cup! Andy had a sly smile on his face when it was over and said we were going to take it home. Next year, we're going to play for the Cup where he is, in Florida."
"I love the team format," Ackley continued. "The camaraderie is great. You cheer each other on. . . . And playing at the international level is great fun. They have U.S.-England matches, U.S.-France. . . . You're playing for your country and you do whatever you have to do. Vinnie did well and Harrison did, too. He was doing triple, double duty. He could barely walk at the end. We had three guys in the open division and five in the seniors. Mexico had at least double that."
"There are no 18-and-unders in these competitions," said Ackley in answer to a question, "but there's everything else, all the way up to super seniors, 70-and-overs."
Next for him, said Ackley, who hits regularly with Horcasitas at the East Hampton Indoor-Outdoor Club, would be "an invitational tournament up the Island at Thanksgiving, but I'm not going to move," he said, "for the next three or four days."

Med Express Sues Marginally Dissatisfied Customer For Posting Accurate Feedback On eBay
from the talk-about-inconvenience dept
While Med Express did express regret (while noting that some other customers had seen the same problem) and offered to reimburse the postage due, it also asked her to remove the negative review. However, as she noted, it wasn't the money issue, but the inconvenience, so she decided to leave her feedback up. At this point, Med Express and its lawyer, James Amodio, apparently decided that if she didn't like "inconvenience" it would subject her to more inconvenience and sued her for defamation in state court in Ohio and sought a temporary restraining order against eBay to block the review. While that failed, apparently the judge is allowing a hearing to happen for a preliminary injunction even though (as Levy points out) the same reason the TRO was rejected should apply to any preliminary injunction.
Amazingly, the complaint directly lays out the pretty clear fact that it's suing her for not removing a truthful review. They don't even attempt to argue that she said anything false or defamatory. Just that they feel she shouldn't have complained since they offered to reimburse.
This is where Levy, a former colleague of a relative of the customer in this case, Amy Nicholls, reached out to Amodio to point out that the lawsuit was a complete joke. Amodio's response is somewhat stunning, in that, according to Levy, he more or less admitted that he was filing a nuisance lawsuit:
I contacted James Amodio, Med Express's lawyer, to explain to him the many ways in which his lawsuit is untenable. He readily admitted that, as the complaint admits, everything that the customer had posted in her feedback was true; he did not deny that a statement has to be false to be actionable as defamation; but he just plain didn't care. To the contrary, he told me that I could come up to Medina, Ohio, and argue whatever I might like, but that the case was going to continue unless the feedback was taken down or changed to positive. And he explained why his client was insisting on this change — he said that it sells exclusively over eBay, where a sufficient level of negative feedback can increase the cost of such sales as well as possibly driving away customersYet another case of felony interference with a business model, apparently, except in this case the company and the lawyer seem to be fine with abusing defamation law to stop a truthful review from appearing online because it might hurt them. Of course, suing a customer seems like the sort of thing likely to lead to significantly more negative feedback and fewer people willing to buy from them. Yes, a negative review can suck, but suing over it, while admitting that you don't really care about all the reasons that the lawsuit is censorious crap, is taking things to another level entirely.
As Levy notes, if a "public spirited lawyer in that part of Ohio" wants to take up a case to stand up for free speech and against censorious attacks, here's an opening.

Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot", Ubuntu's latest version featuring GNOME 3 and an improved Unity has arrived. This is not an LTS version but an important release for Canonical as it is still reeling from the backlash it received for involving Unity. Ubuntu 11.10, titled Oneiric Ocelot, comes with a lot of new features and improvements many Ubuntuers have been waiting for.
We've already seen how Ubuntu 11.10 compares against the upcoming Windows 8 operating system. Now, as Ubuntu 11.10 has been released, we're pretty sure that some of you have already downloaded it on your system.
If you're new to Ubuntu and are feeling disoriented after a fresh install, read on as we cover the 7 things that you need to do after installing Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot".
1. Enable Restricted Drivers
Even though Ubuntu runs flawlessly on most of the modern computers, there are some proprietary drivers which you need to install to run Ubuntu 11.10 to its fullest potential. For example, folks who use computers with NVIDIA and ATI graphics card will need to install third-party drivers in order to run Unity 3D. To do so, just open your launcher (Tap the Super key) and search for the term 'Additional Drivers'. There, you'll find a utility that will let you install those drivers. Just follow the instructions, and restart your computer to enjoy Ubuntu in its full glory.
2. Learn Unity Shortcuts
Unity is Ubuntu's new interface that was introduced 6 months ago. Even though the interface is not that complicated, there are a few tricks you can learn to make your usage even more efficient. Unity relies heavily on keyboard shortcuts, and once you master a few of them, it will definitely help you make your workflow smoother. Oh, and don't worry about going through those creepy manpages to do that, there's a simple wallpaper you can put up on your desktop to teach you those shortcuts without killing you with boredom.
3. Dress it up
Ubuntu 11.10 comes with a whole new set of wallpapers that make Ubuntu one of the most enviable desktops around. Just right-click anywhere on the desktop and start exploring various themes and wallpapers that come pre-installed on your Ubuntu.
4. Install New Apps
Oneiric Ocelot features a completely redesigned Software Center that will make your app experience even better. Start exploring the Software Center to find an app that suits your need. Ubuntu's new store also features some great paid applications and games that are definitely worth your hard-earned cash.
5. Tweak it
Don't like the default look? Ubuntu lets you customize the Unity interface any way you want. To do that, you'll have to install Compiz Config Settings Manager (CCSM) first. Here's how to do that:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
To open Compiz Config Settings, just search for 'ccsm' from the launcher.
Once installed, CCSM will let you tweak Unity any way you want. You would easily be able to change the transparency, launcher behavior and much more. One word of warning though, changing any of those settings might affect the stability of your desktop in a negative way.
6. Enable Quicklists on Chrome
The Unity launcher includes a great little feature called Quicklists. Quicklists allow users to access common menus, or perform common tasks within a program by right-clicking the launcher icon. The feature is very much similar to Jump Lists in Windows 7, which can be accessed by right-clicking the Windows task bar. By default, only a few applications support the feature and not having Quicklists for your favorite browser, that is Chrome, could be quite a turn-off. Don't fret though as we've already written a guide on how to enable Quicklists on Chrome, so do make sure you check it out.
7. Tell your friends about it
Ubuntu 11.10 includes one of the most powerful mail clients around, that is Thunderbird. Make sure you write a quick email to your friends telling them about Ubuntu's new features. Also, if you use Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites, use the revamped Gwibber to let the world know about the awesomeness of Ubuntu.

Roaming data charges have been scrapped in Europe. You will now be able to use your bundled texts, minutes and mobile data anywhere in the European Union without it costing you any extra.
That means uploading your holiday snaps to Facebook or Instagram as you go is much more justifiable than it has ever been in the past.
Unfortunately, there are no caps on roaming fees outside of Europe, or the countries not included in the EU, so if you are lucky enough to travel a lot, here is a roundup of what the different networks offer in terms of roaming and which give jetsetters the best deals.
Vodafone roaming
Vodafone offers Vodafone Global Roaming as standard for Pay Monthly plans, as well as SIM-only plans. This incentive includes 50 "Roam-free" destinations, some of which extend further than just those covered by the EU roaming regulations.
Users visiting any of the Roam-free destinations will be able to use their allowance as they would in the UK without spending any extra. Charges will apply if you go out of your bundle but the regulations state that they cannot be more than they would be in the UK.
The Roam-free destinations are: Albania, Austria, Azores, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canary Islands, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (inc Corsica), French Guiana, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Guadeloupe, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Madeira, Martinique, Mayotte, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Reunion, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain (inc Balearic Islands), Sweden, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man, San Marino, Saint Martin, Switzerland, Turkey, Vatican City.
For those travelling further than the 50 countries on the Roam-free list, there are 60 "Roam-further" destinations available under the Vodafone Global Roaming incentive for Pay Monthly customers and SIM-only customers.
A daily flat rate of £5 allows you to use your phone in any of the participating Roam-further countries as you would in the UK, including calling, texting and data usage and you will only be charged on the days you use your phone. The day is calculated according to the capital city of the country you are in and it runs from midnight to midnight.
If you sign up for a Red Entertainment Vodafone plan, you'll also get free roaming to 29 more destinations than previously including the USA, Canada, South Africa and Australia - 77 destinations in all.
The Roam-further destinations are: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Australia, Barbados, Bermuda, Bonaire, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cayman Islands, Chile, China, Colombia, Congo, Democratic Republic of Costa Rica, Curacao, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Lesotho, Mexico, Mozambique, New Zealand, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Qatar, Russia, Saba, Serbia, Singapore, Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten, South Africa, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent, Suriname, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, Uruguay, US Virgin Islands, United States of America.
For more information, visit the Vodafone website.
Three roaming
Three offers its Feel At Home incentive to Pay Monthly and Pay As You Go customers, offering free roaming in 60 countries, some of which are not in the EU.
It doesn't matter what device you are using and like Vodafone, you can use your phone as you would in the UK but Three doesn't charge you anything for the privilege when you go further afield, such as the US or Australia. What's more, it works on PAYG plans too.
The Feel at Home destinations are: Åland Islands, Australia, Austria, Azores, Balearic Islands, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canary Islands, Channel Islands, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, French Guiana, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Guadeloupe, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Isle of Man, Israel, Italy, Jersey, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macau, Madeira, Martinique, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Republic of Ireland, Réunion, Romania, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, United States of America.
The US Virgin Islands and Vatican City are both on the list for "coming soon".
There is one snag, if you have All-You-Can-Eat data, texts and minutes then only up to 12GB, 5000 texts and 3000 minutes are included in the incentive for no extra charge but that's still quite a lot. You also have to be on one of Three's Advanced plans if you're a Pay Monthly customer, and if you're PAYG you'll need to convert your credit into an Add-on to use Feel at Home.
It's also worth noting that to benefit from Feel At Home, you need to have been a Three customer for more than 30 days and if you are a Pay As You Go customer, you need to convert your credit into an Add-on.
For more information, visit the Three website.
O2 roaming
O2 offers free roaming to countries within its Europe Zone. Just like Vodafone and Three, Pay Monthly customers travelling to any of the countries within the O2's Europe Zone can use their minutes, data and text allowances as they would at home.
The Europe Zone destinations are: Austria, Azores, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canary Islands, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, French Guiana, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Guadeloupe, Guernsey, Hungary, Iceland, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Jersey, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Madeira, Malta, Martinique, Mayotte, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Reunion, Romania, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Vatican City.
The Europe Zone applies to PAYG customers too but Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, Monaco and Switzerland are not included as they are for Pay Monthly customers. PAYG customers visiting these five countries can opt into the O2 Travel Bolt on, where you will also be charged £1.99 for data with a limit of 100MB a day, while calls will cost 4p per minute to make and free to receive. Texts cost 1p per message when sent to the UK or elsewhere in Europe.
O2 also offer the O2 Travel Bolt on for Pay Monthly customers visiting some destinations outside of the Europe Zone. Customers will be charged £3.99 a day for Turkey, or £4.99 a day when in any of these destinations: Albania, Argentina, Australia, Botswana, Brazil, Canada, Cape Verde, Chile, China, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Thailand, UAE, Uruguay, United States of America, Venezuela.
O2 Travel has a daily allowance of 120 minutes for both making and receiving calls, 120 texts and unlimited data for Pay Monthly customers. PAYG customers have the same limit as mentioned above. You'll only be charged on the days you choose to use it.
You can find out more information on the O2 website.
EE roaming
EE offers all customers on all contracts, Pay Monthly and PAYG, free roaming in 48 destinations across Europe. Those on 4GEE Max contracts will also get roaming in a few more places further afield.
As with the other networks, you'll be able to "roam like home", using your data, minute and text allowances. A maximum of 15GB of data can be used while roaming, after which you'll need to buy a data add-on if you want to keep using data whilst roaming.
EE's European Roaming Zone destinations are: Austria, Azores, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Canary Islands, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, French Guyana, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Guadeloupe, Guernsey, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Jersey, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Madeira, Malta, Martinique, Mayotte, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Reunion Islands, Romania, San Marino, Saint Martin (French), Saint Barthelemy, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Vatican City (Italy).
Customers on the 4GEE Max plans also have roaming included in: Australia, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand and USA.
For those not on 4GEE Max plans and travelling to one of the five countries included on the Max plans, you can add a World Select Talk and Text add-on. This will give you unlimited calls and texts for £5 a day, with the day running from midnight to midnight in the country you are in. No data is included with this add on though.
There is also a data add on however, called Travel Data Pass. This will offer 500MB of data per day and prices differ depending on the country. For example, it will cost you £3 a day for Turkey, £4 a day for United States of America and Canada or £5 a day for Australia, New Zealand, UAE, India, Thailand, Mexico, South Africa and China.
EE's offers are a little more complicated than Vodafone and Three so it's worth going on the EE website to work out your best option and find out exactly how much your specific destination might cost.
iD from Carphone Warehouse roaming
The Carphone Warehouse network, iD, offers "Roam Like at Home" for its Pay Monthly, SIM Only and PAYG customers in 50 countries. As with the other networks, customers will be able to use their UK minutes, texts and data for no extra charge.
The Roam Like at Home countries are: Austria, Azerbaijan, Azores, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canary Islands, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, French Guiana, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Guadeloupe, Guernsey, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Jersey, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Madeira, Malta, Martinique, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Réunion, Romania, Saint-Barthélemy, Saint-Martin, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Vatican City.
Customers on the iD's TakeAway plans will also see the United States of America and Australia included within the Roam Like at Home destination list. Unlike Vodafone and Three, there doesn't appear to be a daily rate for other worldwide destinations though.
For customers on GoTo and ShockProof plans, as well as TakeAway customers travelling to destinations other than the US and Australia, the iD network offers a comprehensive list of roaming costs on its site here.
Tesco Mobile roaming
Tesco Mobile offers its Home From Home incentive in 48 European destinations for all its customers. Customers can call, text and use data in the Home from Home countries without any extra cost on top of their existing price plans.
Minutes, texts and data limits will still apply as at home. That covers both PAYG and pay monthly customers.
Home from Home destinations are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain including Canary Islands Sweden, Switzerland.
As with Three, a maximum of 12GB of monthly data can be used when abroad. Following this, you will need to pay an additional charge per MB.
Tesco Mobile caps data usage to 5MB so you cannot exceed £40 of spend while abroad elsewhere. That's because it charges £8 per MB if you are outside the Home from Home countries so be wary of using data anywhere other than in Europe or at a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Call charges from outside the EU can also be very pricey. Calls when you are in the US, for example, cost from 89p a minute to make or receive. Sending texts costs 40p a text. For more information on costs from specific countries, you can visit the Tesco Mobile website.

Giant Eyeball Found on Florida Beach
Imagine you're walking along the beach in Florida having a grand ole' time. Life is good. Then all of a sudden, you come across a humongous, weird eyeball. Did we totally just ruin your fantasy with that? Sorry.
OK, that might not be how it actually went down, but a Florida resident did stumble across said giant eyeball on Tuesday and called the Fish and Wildlife Conservancy Tequesta Field Lab to check it out. They picked up the washed-up organ, stuck it in some ice, and brought it to the lab for some eyeball investigation. No one knows yet where the thing came from, but we're pretty sure "a human" can be ruled out. There's speculation it could belong to "a giant squid, a whale, or a very large swordfish."
The eye is kind of awesome. Although, if we stare at it too long, we get a little creeped out. But then there's the fact that somewhere out in the ocean there's a giant fish missing an eye. Aww, now that's sad!

You've heard it all your life: little things mean a lot. Details make the difference between just another quilt and your work of art. Old proverbs wouldn't last long if they didn't have a serious ring of truth to them. As one of the original quilting machine manufacturers, we believe we're here today because we pay serious attention to details in creating the most precision-machined, hand-guided, long-arm quilting machine in the world.
We invite you to examine the details, welcome your questions and hope you'll compare our latest model, the 923 A1 Long Arm, with any other machine on the market.
This isn't just a sewing machine-it's a revolution in quilting machine technology.
Overview of Features:
Our A1 Long Arm is the only cast-aluminum (not welded) quilting machine made in the USA. This means the A1 is strong and sturdy, but extremely lightweight and easy to operate and maneuver. It literally glides as it stitches. We designed a 9" x 23" throat to make it easy to thread and sew from either side. Whether you're quilting for pleasure or profit, we painted away that old industrial look to keep you surrounded in beauty. We didn't think professional had to mean ugly.
Inside are other important details. Computerized, precision-machining, molded bearing mounts, gear timing and cast iron bushings may sound Greek to you, but they all contribute in making the machine quieter, with smooth, precise, accurate stitching. We also added a hopping foot to ride easily over seams, and a large capacity bobbin, so you spend more time quilting with less bobbin changes.
In short, we've kept the dependable, solid qualities of the 1950's, updated with today's customized features.

Bonds to finance San Antonio campus
Wayland Baptist University, through the city of Universal City, will issue $7.5 million in tax-exempt bonds in order to purchase the land and building for the San Antonio campus.
The bonds received an A- rating and a stable outlook by Standard & Poor's. According the S&P report, the rating "reflects the university's strong enrollment growth as demonstrated by a 27 percent increase in headcount over the past five years; good revenue diversity as only 55 percent of revenues are derived from tuition and fees, with another 12 percent from auxiliary operations; solid financial performance that has generated healthy surpluses due primarily to strong growth in tuition revenues and conservative management of expenses for the past four fiscal years; and low debt burden with no additional debt plans in the near future."
According to Jim Smith, the university's Chief Financial Officer, the A- rating is a positive sign.
"Anything B and above means tremendous bonds. It means we're financially very stable," Smith said.
The bond proceeds will be used to finance the cost of acquiring the 5.09 acres of land and the 32,000 square-foot building constructed in 1999, which the university is currently leasing. Also, two additional tracts of land - with all parcels totaling 26 acres - will be acquired for future use and for parking space.
Wayland-San Antonio currently leads the system in enrollment with 1,400 students. Catering primarily to the nontraditional, working adult student or military member, the campus has achieved great success in its nearly two decades of existence under the leadership of Dr. Bill Hardage, vice chancellor, and Dr. Dillard Whitis, campus dean. The campus moved to the new location off Interstate 35 North in the fall of 2000

So we've been discussing a stop motion web series set in the brikwars universe during the Immortal war era, animated by me and scripted by Oloth if he's still up to it (also minitures for ships...I'll do a tutorial if you're unsure what to do for that, but we need some cool models for a start)
We need a team to crew our ship
-Captain (perhaps pilot?)
-Second in Charge
-Weapon Guy
-One or two fighter pilots
Protagonist - I'm thinking one of the fighter pilots, a rookie to the ship who was hired not much before the events of the series. He's an average pilot but he's much better as a natural leader (brave, lucky etc.) and towards the end becomes the leader of the crew.
Perhaps some backstory involving him in charge of another crew?
What are your thoughts on the other characters? Should we include a minimalist or equal amount of women?
Also what are some other staple characters we need? I will update the post with info as we develop the characters.

What a pale reflection, a faint echo, of the original! To Heart seen through a glass darkly!
Where the original group of girls was engaging, with unique personalities and interesting issues, this gaggle of 1-dimensional stereotypes seems like a parody made by an anime hater:
Where Multi was a sweet maid robot programmed to enjoy making her masters happy, the newer version is trained by the bully to continuously lower her respect for her male master and even ultimately to assault him. Isn't that great?
I could understand and sympathize if the audience for this kind of show were frustrated young girls feeling unempowered and bitter. But it's not. It's males so desperate for attention that they consider any notice at all that they receive from a (not even) real girl as such a godsend that they would gladly suffer any kind of abuse or humiliation at her hands.
I'm ashamed to share a gender with these creatures. They really need to seek professional guidance to try to salvage something of their miserable lives and possibly prevent them from doing harm later on to themselves or others out of despair.
Anyway, back to the story. Whereas the original Hiroyuki was interested and actively helped out all the girls with their issues and supported their goals, the new guy is just bullied, blackmailed, threatened, beaten up, and generally intimidated into obeying their commands. The bully even unilaterally proclaims that he is her husband!
The result is that the story never goes anywhere and nobody ever achieves anything because the girls' dreams, where not solely limited to domination of a male, are just goofy. With no honest input from free-minded friends to keep them in touch with reality, they just wander around looking for UFOs. That's the problem with domination; it kills motivation and creativity.
In summary, To Heart 2 is a vastly inferior presentation to the original, and disturbingly, continues to be more popular.

Bill & Beth's Sleeping Porch
I've been dreaming about the sleeping porch in Beth & Bill's Soulful Straw Bale Retreat ever since the photo shoot. However the room envy has significantly increased with the scorcher of a summer that we've been experiencing in DC, when often the only bearable time to spend outside is in the evening.
When Bill and Beth renovated their bungalow, they did so with the intent of creating a strong connection between the in and outdoors, and their sleeping porch is one of the best examples. It sits just off their modestly-sized master bedroom, and has many of the simple comforts of a regular room: loungeable mattress, light bedding, semi-privacy/shade screen facing the neighbors, and a ceiling fan. They spend more than half the nights of each year on the sleeping porch, which looks over their luscious garden and backyard that Beth has designed using all native plants. The sleeping porch's covering is part of their green roof system, and below the porch sits a bubbling retention pond that collects water run off from the back of their sloping yard before channeling it to the rain garden on the side of their house.
Open air sleeping porches have always been on my dream house list, but after seeing Bill and Beth's I have an even deeper love for them, especially after hearing form Bill that they have never been bothered by mosquitoes since their porch is on the second story and mosquitoes are mostly however just above ground level.
To check out the rest of their amazing home, visit their house tour.

I wanna keep sayin it's only a game. But, Ragings vs Steelers is not just game. It is a ritual of some sort. There is only room for one winner around here and the Steelers are they. I can't really explain it, that's just the way it is. Pittsburgh Steelers please beat their *** into the ground and shut those mfrs up for awhile. By the way, all the rest of you NFL fans watch and learn how to enjoy and appreciate your teams effort like Steelers and Ragings fans do. It is not good enough to show up only during the good times.
That was one great video^. Pumped to the max. The team should review that film like one minute before going out on the field.

The numbers are pretty sobering but undeniable: most affiliates never gain any real traction and never make any decent money.
A lot of people will tout the 80/20 rule as being just as valid in affiliate marketing as in other life endeavors.
In this context, it would simply mean that 20% of the affiliates drive 80% of the sales.
But after working closely with and speaking with several affiliate managers over the years, I think the real numbers are even worse – there's a closer to 90% to 95% failure rate in affiliate marketing! What this effectively means, of course, is that according to affiliate managers who have opened up to me, 5% to 10% of their affiliates will grab the lion's share of all the sales made.
Your host here, Allan Gardyne, in his insightful article 12 mistakes affiliates make – and how to fix them, written back in 2004, stated this truth succinctly: "In most programs, 5% of the affiliates generate the vast majority of the sales. If you're not in that 5% and want to be, you'll have to change what you're doing."
The real question, at least in my mind, is this: are those 5% to 10% of "super affiliates" just smarter and more talented than you?
In my opinion, the answer is no.
I think the majority of people have the intelligence and desire to succeed at affiliate marketing and make consistent sales, but they lack the right connections and skill-sets and, as such, have the odds stacked against them from the outset.
I want to share some personal things that I hope will resonate with you. I want to share these things because I believe that I was (and in many ways still am) just like you, even if you're not close to being a super affiliate yet.
Can you Build Great Looking Web Sites?
Many years ago, when I got started in affiliate marketing I used to worry a lot about the fact that I was not tech savvy. I didn't know how to code (and I still don't!). I know almost zero HTML to this day.
I really don't know how to build web sites. If you asked me to build you a hand-coded site from scratch, I wouldn't know the first thing to do.
Do you look at the exceptional site designs of super affiliates, and think to yourself: "I get how important this is, but I simply don't know how to do it!"
Frustrating, isn't it?
Can You Run Important Marketing Tests?
You know how all those big marketers are always telling you to test, test, test? Well, we all know it's important but I didn't have the technical capability to run elaborate split A/B tests, much less multivariate tests (where you test several variables at once.) If I asked you to run one today on your marketing could you set it up? If not, you're frankly at a big disadvantage.
Can You Produce High Quality Videos?
Do you look at the sites of super affiliates with their fancy flash videos and think: "There's just no way I can produce this stuff on my own."
In John Reese's latest Traffic Secrets 2.0 course he talks about how the Internet is evolving: ugly web sites no longer make the cut even though 10 years ago they did just fine; how video quality really does matter: the more professional it looks, the better the results tend to be.
In short, the bar is being raised and good design and eye appeal are becoming ever more important if you expect to compete as an affiliate marketer – and particularly if you want to become one of the rare, elite affiliates who consistently pull down sales day after day.
I am just like you.
If you feel like you are being held back by all of the aforementioned things that you simply cannot do or don't have the time or money to learn how to do, don't despair.
I, too, felt the same way.
Here's the good news: you don't have to learn all of these things for yourself. The simple answer to your problems is you need to leverage off the ability of other people who can do all of these things for you.
I'm not talking about going to elance or rent-a-coder and finding these people. That's certainly an option, but let's be blunt: there's still a lot of work involved if you want to set about hiring a bunch of different people. And it's often prohibitively expensive as well.
That's why when I set up my training service, AffiliateArticleWriters.com, one of my core goals was to collect the best of the best people – true tech savvy people who could do all the things the big gurus always talk about doing – and combine it with my years of affiliate marketing experience and business thinking.
My ultimate goal was to create something that would allow the typical struggling affiliate who is smart and driven to leverage off all of this talent I've assembled in one place.
In short, our members succeed because they gain access to our hyper focused training and our creations. The result? They drive consistent affiliate sales in the most lucrative lifetime income opportunities.
What could you accomplish if technological and marketing hurdles no longer held you back?
An Example
In our most recent launch, we are targeting a lifetime income opportunity in the hair loss niche.
Our students get to leverage off our latest creation. You can see an example of here.
Could you produce a video and overall presell of this quality and compete with us if you were in this niche?
As you know by now, I couldn't either – if I were by myself. Thankfully I'm not. It's truly amazing what experienced and specialized team members can do once assembled, and then presented with an overarching vision.
As far as I know, AffiliateArticleWriters.com is the only affiliate training service out there that doesn't just tell you what to do – go learn how to build and design sites, go learn how to shoot video, go learn how to do keyword research, pick money making niches, and so forth – but actually does all of this for you, so you are left to focus on your one and only responsibility: creating content for lifetime, recurring income via article marketing.
Make no mistake about it, creating that content is real work. It takes a disciplined and driven person.
But I'm guessing you might be one of them.

Thinlits create dazzling detailed shapes for more creative cardmaking and papercrafting projects. These wafer-thin chemically-etched die sets are designed to cut, emboss or stencil a single sheet of cardstock, paper, metallic foil or vellum. They are simple to use, compact and portable for cutting at home or on the go. Use them for enhanced intricacy and to add a special touch of inspiration to all your projects.
The Thinlits dies in this set are compatible with the BIGkick, Big Shot and Vagabond machines.
To cut, the sandwich requires use of a pair of Cutting Pads and the machine's included Platform; when using the Essentials Platform or Solo Platform & Shim, the Extended Adapter or Solo Adapter is required. Because of their intricacy, Thinlits dies may require up to three passes to cut. If extra ejection is needed for easier separation of the die-cut from the design, place wax paper between the Thinlits die and your material and then cut.
These die can also emboss when the machine's included Platform is combined with an Impressions Pad and Silicone Rubber sheet. The diagrams on the Platform offer easy guidelines about how to make the perfect Sizzix sandwich.
To stencil, place the die over desired material and apply ink or chalk to the die indentations. This technique can be used alone or to enhance embossed designs.
Approx. design dimensions: 1-3/4" x 2-1/2"
MSRP of this die set is $ 16.99

Mail5692 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 102 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Certified Real Estate Expert
This will be a certification mark that people use in the real estate industry. We want the EXPERT to be the most important feature.
Looking for a "Certification Mark" Logo that focuses on the "Expert" part of it, is immediately associated with Real Estate. Whereas any consumer can understand very easily that it is an expert in real estate. It actually does not have to have the "Certified" or more specifically the "Real Estate" part very big. It may be possible to not have real estate at all if the if we were able to have a house around expert, or something on top (like a roof or something) that distinguishes it as Real Estate Related, but would have to be extremely obvious.
We just want something that is "Cocky" & "Confident" and exudes excellence but at the same time want the consumer to know immediately what it is. (Any person that bears it is an expert)
Also open to a seal or traditional circular type but would need to look very official.
Needs to be able to be trademarked.

Here's the press release from nba.com. The Bobcats will play the Hawks on Oct. 8. Buy tickets here. Press release:
Bobcats Sports & Entertainment announced today that the Charlotte Bobcats will return to UNC Asheville's Kimmel Arena for their training camps in 2013 and 2014. This year's training camp will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 1. Prior to training camp, the team will hold Media Day on Monday, Sept. 30, at Time Warner Cable Arena.
"We had great success with our training camp at UNC Asheville last year," said Bobcats President of Basketball Operations Rod Higgins. "As we anticipated, it was a perfect venue for us, and we are excited to have the opportunity to go back to Kimmel Arena this season and next season."
Kimmel Arena, which opened in November 2011, is home to the UNC Asheville Bulldogs men's and women's basketball teams. The arena is located in the Wilma M. Sherrill Center and has a capacity of over 3,200 for basketball. The multipurpose facility has hosted over 100,000 guests since its opening, and offers the modern amenities fans, players, and coaches expect, including wide concourses with views of the court, large video boards, intimate and comfortable seating and outstanding training facilities.
"We are delighted to once again welcome the Charlotte Bobcats to the campus of UNC Asheville for their training camp in the Wilma M. Sherrill Center," said UNC Asheville Director of Athletics Janet Cone. "We had a great experience hosting them last year and look forward to working with their new coach Steve Clifford and his staff in October.
"Our University has, once again, partnered with the city, county, sports commission, chamber of commerce, corporate partners, and the many passionate basketball fans in our region, to help position Western North Carolina as the premier showcase for all levels of basketball," Cone added. "In addition, we look forward to welcoming the team, coaches, support staff and fans to our campus and the Greater Asheville area for a week of great sport and enjoyment; the Charlotte Bobcats and starting next season, Charlotte Hornets, will become yet another reason for people of all ages to consider Asheville a destination of choice for years to come."
This will mark the second straight season the Bobcats have held training camp at UNC Asheville and the seventh time in the last nine years that they have done so away from Charlotte.
"The fans of Asheville could not have been more welcoming to us last year and we are pleased to be returning this season," said Bobcats Sports & Entertainment President & COO Fred Whitfield. "We are also excited that we are not just holding our training camp, but also playing a preseason game in Asheville for the first time."
The Bobcats will take on the Atlanta Hawks in preseason action on October 8 at Asheville's U.S. Cellular Center. Tickets start at $15 and are available now at the U.S. Cellular Center and Time Warner Cable Arena box offices, online at bobcats.com or via Ticketmaster.

Editor's note: As of May 2012, the Asus Eee Pad Slider SL101 is upgradable to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). For details on the advantages ICS offers over Honeycomb, check the Android 4.0 section of the Asus Transformer Prime TF201 review.
Thanks to their slim designs, touch screens, and light weights, tablets have taken off in the last few years as a popular alternative to Netbooks and, in some cases, even laptops. However, a tablet screen isn't the most ideal environment for typing.
By including a built-in keyboard, the Asus Eee Pad Slider attempts to offer a solution to this problem, but does the very inclusion of a keyboard defeat the purpose of owning a thin, light, and cool-looking media device?
Even more than the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, which offers an optional $120 keyboard attachment, the Asus Eee Pad Slider is more or less Asus' admission that typing on a tablet screen sucks. This is made apparent by the Slider's inclusion of a built-in keyboard. It's not an attachment or an accessory; the tablet and keyboard are one and the same. Think of it as an oversize smartphone like the Samsung Epic 4G that allows you to snap a QWERTY keyboard out when needed.
From the front, the Slider looks like a typical tablet, but conceals all the really cool stuff underneath. Right above the 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera, on the top bezel edge, is an arrow pointing up. Investigating further you'll find a groove on the top side of the tablet, just wide enough to fit a couple of fingertips in. When pulled up, the tablet screen slides back to rest at a 45-degree angle, revealing a fully functional keyboard underneath it.
If, like us, you're concerned that the hinge mechanism that allows the screen to slide back could wear over time, Asus had this to say about the amount of testing it's been put through: "The unit had to pass a total of 30,000 swing counts with the swing duration time being 6 cycles per minute during the test runs with the hinge torsion rate remaining in spec. Basically, this would equal a user opening [or] closing the Pad 20 times a day for right over four years and it remaining within the given spec. We believe the unit will be extremely durable over its lifespan."
Only time will tell how true that is, but it's good to know that Asus seems just as concerned as we are.
The Slider is made of two major parts, the top tablet plate and the bottom keyboard plate. The tablet plate is all black bezel and black chassis with a silver edge on three of its sides. This contrasts nicely with the pearl-colored keyboard plate. Asus has also released a version of the tablet that replaces the pearl-white color with metallic brown.
On the front half of the keyboard plate are the gray keyboard keys, each with easily readable light-gray text denoting its function. On the front edge of the plate are a large number of small ventilation holes.
Along the left side of the keyboard plate are a small microphone pinhole, the power button, the volume rocker, the reset button, and, toward the back, a microSD card slot. On the back edge huddled in the right corner is a 40-pin connector slot for power or connecting to a PC, followed closely by a Mini-HDMI port. Rounding out the connections along the right spine are a headphone jack and full-size USB 2.0 slot. On the bottom of the keyboard panel toward the top is a 5-megapixel camera lens; however, disappointingly, there's no LED flash accompanying it.
At 2.14 pounds the Eee Pad Slider is by far the heaviest Honeycomb tablet to date, not to mention the thickest. The fact that there's no way to detach the tablet portion from the keyboard plate is a bit of a bummer when you just want to leave the business behind and focus on the party.

The rubbery, leathery back of the Slider's keyboard plate gave our fingers just enough grip that the tablet didn't feel as if it was about to slip form our hands at any moment. Also, the corners and edges are rounded just enough that we didn't feel them cutting into our palms, as we experienced with the Transformer.
The pearl-white version we reviewed picks up smudges and marks quickly, although they come off easily thanks to that same rubbery, leathery material. Also, the metal Asus hinge plate on the back is a lightning rod for fingerprints.

text: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An emergency alert sent on Saturday to Hawaii's residents warning of an imminent ballistic missile attack was transmitted mistakenly by state authorities due to human error, Hawaii's governor and emergency management chief said.State officials and the U.S. military's Pacific Command confirmed that there was no actual threat to the state.Governor David Ige, a Democrat, said in comments aired on CNN, "I was awakened by the alert like everyone else here in the state of Hawaii. It was unfortunate and regrettable. We will be looking at how we can improve the procedures so it doesn't happen again."The alert, sent to mobile phones and aired on television and radio, was issued amid high international tensions over North Korea's development of ballistic nuclear weapons.Ige, who apologized for the incident, said the alert was sent out by mistake during a shift change at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency. He said such shift changes occur three times a day every day of the year.Vern Miyagi, the agency's administrator, said in comments also aired on CNN, "It was an inadvertent mistake. The change of shift is about three people. That should have been caught. ... It should not have happened."The U.S. Federal Communications Commission announced it was initiating a full investigation. The FCC has jurisdiction over the emergency alert system. Earlier this week, FCC chairman Ajit Pai said the agency would vote at its January meeting to enhance the effectiveness of wireless emergency alerts, which have been in place since 2012.CHECK LISTMiyagi said there was a "check list" that should have been followed. He said, "I think we have the process in place. It's an matter of executing the process. I think it's human error.""This will not happen again," he added.Media reports said it took 38 minutes for the initial alert to be corrected.After the alert was sent, the Emergency Management Agency later said on Twitter: "NO missile threat to Hawaii."A spokeswoman for U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard said the congresswoman checked with the state agency that issued the alert and was told it was sent in error.Gabbard then tweeted, "HAWAII - THIS IS A FALSE ALARM. THERE IS NO INCOMING MISSILE TO HAWAII. I HAVE CONFIRMED WITH OFFICIALS THERE IS NO INCOMING MISSILE."Gabbard also tweeted the mistaken alert, which stated: "EMERGENCY ALERT BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL."North Korean President Kim Jong-un has threatened to unleash his country's growing missile weapon capability against the U.S. territory of Guam or U.S. states, prompting President Donald Trump to threaten tough actions against Pyongyang, including "fire and fury."Trump was wrapping up a round of golf at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida when the incident was unfolding. White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said Trump was briefed and that it "was purely a state exercise."Hawaii State Representative Matt LoPresti, described his family's reaction upon receiving the alert, adding that "someone should lose their job if this was an error.""We took shelter immediately ... in the bathtub with my children, saying our prayers," LoPresti told CNN."I was wondering why we couldn't hear the emergency sirens. I didn't understand that. And that was my first clue that maybe something was wrong, whether a hack or an error. But we took it as seriously as a heart attack," LoPresti added.Hawaii, a chain of islands in the Pacific Ocean, has a population of about 1.4 million people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and is home to Pacific Command, the Navy's Pacific Fleet and other elements of the American military.In November, Hawaii said it would resume monthly statewide testing of Cold War-era nuclear attack warning sirens for the first time in at least a quarter of a century, in preparation for a possible missile strike from North Korea, state officials said at the time.U.S. Senator Mazie Hirono, a Democrat from Hawaii, said on Twitter, "At a time of heightened tensions, we need to make sure all information released to the community is accurate. We need to get to the bottom of what happened and make sure it never happens again."The U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was the target of the surprise attack by Japan on Dec. 7, 1941, that drew the United States into World War Two.

Just got a new set of fins, but I can't get the old ones out of the board! They've been in there for about a year.
What's the best way to get a stuck fin out?
It's a Cabrinha 183 with powerboxes.
That worked great, Thanks!borist wrote:did you try to loosen up screws couple of turns and then tap the top of the screwdriver with a hammer (gently)? I used to do this often when windsurfing.
Cool thanks. Once I got the fins screwed in all the way, it didn't seem loose at all. Maybe no tape needed, will have to try it out and see I guess. Just need some wind now!borist wrote:We usually use "foil tape" like this one. Go to home depot or similar store and look at some of them, should be in A/C/heating area. Tapes are strip of aluminum foil with adhesive on one side. Some have thick adhesive layer, do not get those, find one that is very thin.
