A lot of people cook a turkey for Thanksgiving. A few people even raise their own. But I'm probably the only person in Addison County who has spent the past week giving her Thanksgiving turkey physical therapy.
See, not long ago a neighborhood dog attacked the four turkeys we raised this summer, killing one and making this one's life flash before her eyes. We put her affairs in order but within two days she had made a miraculous recovery.
It didn't last.

Sandusky Waives Preliminary Hearing
Well, per twitter Jerry Sandusky and his lawyer just waived his preliminary hearing just before it was scheduled to begin. This may indicate that he is open to a plea. Seems to contradict everything he has said in the past.
Could he have been intimidated by the prospect of facing his accusers? Maybe what he has done was finally beginning to sink in?
Hope this guy gets locked up for life.

Beating the Monday Rush with a Poem, Hurry
Mondays are the days when we feel the stress of the week start to mount. We rush as we wake up and hurry as we leave work or school. Time seems less plentiful. The kids wake up five minutes later than usual. The car is lower on gas. More commuters than normal crowd the platform, waiting to take the train into the city. The start of a new work week has begun. The day starts and stops in a frenzy.
And so we push, rushing forward, sometimes gently urging or, at others, with a biting tone. Poet Marie Howe turns us about, forces us to look into the mirror, and maybe just maybe, laugh at ourselves as we slow down with her poem "Hurry":
We stop at the dry cleaners and the grocery store
and the gas station and the green market and
Hurry up honey, I say, hurry hurry,
as she runs along two or three steps behind me
her blue jacket unzipped and her socks rolled down.
Where do I want her to hurry to? To her grave?
To mine? Where one day she might stand all grown?
Today, when all the errands are finally done, I say to her,
Honey I'm sorry I keep saying Hurry—
you walk ahead of me. You be the mother.
And, Hurry up, she says, over her shoulder, looking
back at me, laughing. Hurry up now darling, she says,
hurry, hurry, taking the house keys from my hands.

Southwest Wisconsin has a total population of 563,594. The region is famous for its many hills, valleys and unspoiled natural beauty. It is also home to Wisconsin's greatest collection of natural, educational, ethnic, historical and amazing tourist attractions. Southwest Wisconsin is located an hour or less from Madison, Dubuque and Wisconsin Dells; two hours away from Milwaukee, Rockford and Galena, and three hours from Chicago.
History Although southwestern Wisconsin is best known today for its rich farmlands, place names such as Mineral Point and New Diggings evoke an earlier time when local mines produced much of the nation's lead. In the early nineteenth century, Wisconsin lead mining was more promising and attractive to potential settlers than either the fur trade or farming. Its potentially quick rewards lured a steady stream of settlers up the Mississippi River and into Grant, Crawford, Iowa, and Lafayette counties in the early nineteenth century. By 1829, more than 4,000 miners worked in southwestern Wisconsin, producing 13 million pounds of lead a year. Settlement in the region remained slow until a series of treaties between 1804 and 1832 gradually ceded all Indian lands south of the Wisconsin River to the U.S. This coincided with a strong demand for lead, which was widely used in the manufacture of pewter, pipes, weights, paint, and of course, ammunition for the firearms of an expanding U.S. military. Miners who moved to the area in the 1820s and 1830s wasted little time in constructing shelters. Some simply burrowed holes into hillsides, earning miners the nickname "badgers." The tools and techniques involved in lead mining in these early years were relatively simple and inexpensive, allowing lucky miners to strike it rich with little personal expense. Many of the first miners came to Wisconsin from Missouri, which had experienced a similar lead boom a few years earlier. Communities sprang up quickly around the mines, as other industries and businesses were founded to serve the residents that mining attracted. In the 1830s, experienced miners began arriving from Cornwall in southwestern England. The Cornish settled primarily in Mineral Point and constructed small, limestone homes similar to those they had left in England. Wisconsin lead mining peaked in the 1840s. Although our state's mines then yielded more than half the national output, demand for Wisconsin lead was beginning to decline. Miners had exhausted the supply of easily obtainable ore, which made mining more expensive and less appealing to investors hoping to make money quickly. In 1844, a third of the region's residents left for copper and iron mines elsewhere and the discovery of gold in California caused many others to head west in 1849. For those who remained, mining often became a part-time supplement to farming. Some men began to mine for zinc, and for a few years in the late nineteenth century, Mineral Point had the largest zinc smelting facility in the world. With mining restricted to only the most profitable localities by 1850, more than 90 percent of the land was free for farming. By 1860, the former lead mining region of southwestern Wisconsin had become recognized as one of the best agricultural areas in the state.
Attractions and Entertainment The cities and communities that make up southwest Wisconsin offer visitors great restaurants, charming shops, locally owned wineries and breweries, and comfortable lodging in a restful and rural atmosphere. There are various parks, hiking trails, watersports, and just about every outdoor activity you can think of to do in this scenic region. See the helpful links below to explore this vast region.

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Freedom to believe
We are absolutely free to believe or disbelieve in God. It is God's will that we will freely, see 18:29, 25:57, 73:19, 74:37, 76:29 etc. God told us in the Quran that He knows the future and He knows what everyone of us will do, believe, behave and commit in this life, because He is God who knows the past, present and future. God fully knows what kind of decision each one of us is destined to make; He knows which of us are going to Heaven and which are going to Hell. Even before we were born into this world, God knew which souls are good and which souls are evil.
As far as God 's omniscience is concerned, we know that God already knows everybody's fate in this world and in the Hereafter. Yet as far as we are concerned, we are totally free to side with God's absolute authority, or Satan's polytheistic views. Predestination , therefore is a fact as far as God is concerned, not as far as we are concerned. An example of God's guidance for those who deserve guidance (Based on their own decision to accept God ALONE) is found in 21:51:
[21:51] Before that, we granted Abraham his guidance and understanding, for we were fully aware of him.
In other words, God knew that Abraham was a good soul who deserves to be guided, and God granted him his guidance and understanding. But the first decision to seek God was that of Abraham. on his own free will. So, we are fully free to choose, either God or someone else. Because of this freedom we are responsible for our decision on the day of Judgment. We cannot blame our parents, friends, scholars, or anyone. We can only blame ourselves. Therfore , we should take heed early on and side with God and believe Him and His book.
Because of this kind of freedom God never forces His religion on any body,
[10:99] Had your Lord willed, all the people on earth would have believed. Do you want to force the people to become believers?
If God was to force people to believe or disbelieve he would not have asked them about their choices and He would never have punished some and rewarded others. God is Most Merciful.

Zhang Linsheng took a deep breath before swiping his debit card for Rmb 1.8 million ($294,000), the down payment on his new Shanghai apartment. "It's the most I've ever paid at once," he said.
The real estate agent, wearing a pink shirt and silver tie, chuckled: "His down payment is higher than the entire cost of my home. But there's no point in waiting. Prices are only going to go up."
(Read more: Does China face more property curbs?)
Mr Zhang, a 33-year-old clothing trader from southern China, knew that from experience. He had waited to buy a home until now and he regretted it. "Property prices have been increasing more quickly than my income, so it's like all my work has been for nothing."
Over the past month he finally decided to take the plunge. He checked out dozens of new developments in and around Shanghai, eventually settling on Majestic City, a large residential complex near the central train station.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Springfield College (15-15, 8-4) secured the No. 2 seed in next week's NEWMAC Baseball Tournament after sweeping two games from MIT (14-10, 6-6) at Briggs Field, Saturday afternoon. A three-run homerun by Adam Tarquini in the first inning paced the Pride's 4-3 victory in game one, while Springfield secured the second half of the double-header behind the arm of sophomore Joe Carlos, who scattered eight hits and one earned run in nine innings as the Engineers fell, 8-1.
The first half of the twin bill featured a tremendous pitching effort by MIT freshman Chris D'Annunzio. Although D'Annunzio (1-1) endured the loss after giving up the four runs in the opening frame, the rookie hurler surrendered only one hit in the complete-game effort. After yielding the bomb to Tarquini, D'Annunzio retired 18 of the last 19 batters, including 17 straight to close the game.
MIT answered with two runs in the bottom of the first, highlighted by Warren Bates' RBI double. Jason Witzberger picked up an RBI in the second off a groundout, and the Engineers jumped back into contention.
Ahead 4-3 heading to the third, Springfield starter Jimmy Lisowski (3-1) kept Tech's offense at bay the rest of the way. Senior Scott Samolewicz entered in the fifth and pitched two perfect innings with three strikeouts to record the save.
The Pride scored two unearned runs through the first three innings of game two, building a 2-0 lead for Carlos (2-3). The Engineers sliced the lead in half during the bottom of the fourth as Wayne Duggan plated Witzberger with a double. Despite the offensive spark, the Engineers were unable to sustain any momentum.
Jay Turner (3-2) was fantastic for MIT through seven innings, although the sophomore righty faced some trouble in the eighth. With one out, Tarquini was hit by a pitch. Rex Cone followed with a single, while Derek Yvon reached on an error which allowed Tarquini to cross the plate. In the ensuing at bat, senior James Miner blasted a three-run homerun to left center, stretching the Pride's lead to 6-1 and negating an otherwise great start. Tarquini and Cone picked up RBI's in the ninth off reliever Joe Yurko as Springfield finished the tilt with an 8-1 win.
The Pride totaled nine hits in the second game, including two hits for Cone and Chris Stack. Duggan and freshman Steven Nunez had three hits a piece during the two-game swing to pace the MIT offense.
With Saturday's sweep, Springfield extended its winning streak against MIT to 16 games. The Engineers last win against the Pride occurred during the 1999 campaign.

With Congress on a break — and no budget deal in sight — the U.S. Navy expects automatic spending cuts to take effect in March. These cuts would damage the industrial base and "strain" sailors, according to updated Navy budget guidance provided to Navy Times, Defense News' sister publication, on Tuesday.
The service's planning document echoes the dire warnings made last week by the Navy's top officers and provides the best preview yet of the countless impacts that the cuts will impose on the fleet.
The Navy faces dual budget crises this year: $4 billion in automatic "sequestration" spending cuts and $4.6 billion in cuts if the military continues to be funded at last year's levels.
In the new guidance, the Navy says that the lack of a Pentagon spending bill impairs $5 billion in shipbuilding, a three-fold increase over the last estimate.
Under the document's "impacts" section, the Navy states the continuing resolution will impose: "reduced forward presence," "a damaged industrial base," "increased strain and OPTEMPO on our sailors and civilians," and "aircraft depot cuts." The purchase of a second Virginia-class attack submarine and a second destroyer in fiscal 2014 would now be "unlikely."
The Navy says these individual cuts are "representative" so as to show lawmakers and the public possible affects of deep spending cuts.
The sequestration cuts, the Navy warns, will pierce much deeper.
The Navy's document says it will force the service to cancel 10 destroyer and frigate cruises; cancel the Bataan Amphibious Readiness Group deployment; halt work-ups for the Ronald Reagan and Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Groups; reduce exercises and port calls; defer repairs and cancel overhauls; and cancel F-35B testing aboard amphibious assault ship Wasp, among many other impacts.
All these combined effects will hamper the Navy's ability to respond to crises, the service says.
It will result in "immediate coverage gaps in multiple COCOMs," the Navy document said, using the abbreviation for combatant commanders. Four strike groups would "shut down at various intervals:" John C. Stennis, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and Theodore Roosevelt. And over time, the fleet would shrink by as many as 40 ships.

Uganda: Karimojong in Uganda advised to educate girls
The State Minister for Primary Education, Mr. Peter Lokeris, who was chief guest, called for sensitisation of communities about the importance of educating children.
"I call on all of you to fill the schools with pupils and increase the number of girls attending school," he said. "We must convince the community to take girls to school."
He said Karamoja could only develop through education.
"The key to development in Karamoja is education, so that we can join the rest of the Ugandans in contributing to national development," Lokeris said.
The 'Action for Education' conference supported by UNICEF attracted education and local government officials, members of Parliament from Karamoja region, and representatives of the civil society.
The UNICEF Regional Manager for the eastern region, Mr. Jeremy England, said there is a link between low girl education and maternal and infant mortality rates.
He said educating the girl child would contribute to the achievement of the Millenium Development Goals.
"Karamoja has the lowest level of education and yet has the highest infant and maternal mortality rates. The better the education, the more the awareness these girls have about various public health issues," England said.
He said girls had been generally left out in Karamoja.
"They have not got their rights to education as much as the boy because they are pulled out of school early," he said.
Karamoja has a 12 percent literacy rate compared to 68 per cent national rate and 50.3 per cent of girls and 49.7 percent boys of school going age have never accessed education.

Michaele needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 214 designs submitted by 66 freelance designers.
Michaelé Harrington
I currently empower entrepreneurs to use Social Media for business.
I'm looking to have a logo created for my name and website that can be incorporated into a new blog banner and used on Social Media profile pages like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube etc and also on a business card.
Home business entrepreneurs.
My audience are people desiring to learn how to bring their businesses online and also people who are currently active on the Social Networking sites.
The logo needs to be fresh and modern in design, think web 2.0.
It will convey trust and professionalism and yet be fun and funky! A feminine edge is also desirable.
As my name is long, one idea might be to use my initials in some sort of box or shape, followed by my name.
Michaelé-Harrington.com (the dot com could go upwards rather than sideways to shorten the length of the logo)
Using my initials 'MH' is not a must, it's just an idea. Feel free to be creative with my name.
Here are some examples of pages with logos I like:
Colors I'm not a big fan of using as primary colors are:
Orange, Yellow, Purple and Red. ( I didn't think I would need to say this but brown is definitely out!)

The arrest last week of a Brockton man led to the arrest of two other people a few hours later.
ABINGTON – In a matter of moments, much of the evidence was gone.
The man suspected of dealing prescription drugs in Abington had eaten the pills, police said. They could still see specks of white in his teeth.
Although Abington police arrested three people they said were dealing drugs recently, Deputy Chief Christopher Cutter said their actions demonstrate the difficulties of fighting a prescription drug epidemic.
"There are an awful lot of people out there selling prescriptions," Cutter said. "There's quite a bit that we're not able to get to."
Last Friday, Abington police arrested three people and removed a few dozen Klonopin and Percocet pills off the street after anonymous tips came in alerting officers to drug dealing in the area of Carriage Hill Drive and Summer Street.
Police saw an unnamed female in her late 20s engage in apparent drug activity with Jose Rivera, 39, of Brockton, Cutter said. They arrested him after he initially tried to drive away. Rivera was charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws, operating with a suspended driver's license, failure to stop for police and negligent operation of a motor vehicle. The woman was not charged.
When officers stopped Rivera's vehicle, Cutter said they saw in his teeth crushed Percocet, a painkiller made up of acetaminophen and the opiate oxycodone. Aside from remnants, Rivera allegedly swallowed all the drugs he had.
An investigation determined the woman was attempting to buy $220 worth of Percocet, Cutter said. Street value of the pills fluctuates depending on their potency.
Police also noticed messages on Rivera's cell phone indicating that two other people were looking to sell him prescription pills.
Text messages from the pair led officers to believe they had 40 Klonopin to sell, and when police surprised them in an Abington parking lot, the pills, prescribed for anxiety and seizures, were clearly visible in the lap of Kelly Isgur, 38, of Brockton, Cutter said.
Also arrested was Isgur's husband, Russell Isgur, 48, of Avon. They were both charged with possession and possession with intent to distribute a Class B substance and conspiracy to violate drug laws.
An additional 46 Klonopin pills were found in the couple's possession, Cutter said. Police determined that the pills were picked up with legal prescriptions at a pharmacy in Brockton just minutes before the Isgurs contacted Rivera.
"The evidence shows he was dealing quite a bit of narcotics," Cutter said, including heroin.
Five years ago, the Abington Police Department had three detectives assigned 20 cases each, Cutter said. Today, the department has no detectives and dedicates staff to drug investigations as time is available.
"We're doing whatever we can with what we have," Cutter said.

Aug. 23, 2012 -- Adding to a long saga of scandal, the United Kingdom's Prince Harry was photographed naked in a hotel room in Las Vegas last Friday (Aug. 17). And like almost every photo of a celebrity sans clothes taken with a smartphone, the photos were leaked to the Internet.
Prince Harry has had his fair share of public embarrassments throughout his life. But when it comes it royals behaving badly, he's certainly not the only prince to have a history of hijinks, to say the least.
See the photos at the link below:
Views: 290
I can't think of worst hijinks than his ancestor Henry VIII who manipulated religion and murdered wives in support of his hijenks. Royals are simply human and not gods or even ordained by gods.
Harry is cool.
I met him at O'Reilly's pub in Earls Court, London in 2005 when I was a drinker. I shook his hand and can't remember what I said to him. He liked going to common establishments with his all-male entourage at that time. He came to see a singer/guitarist play.
Cool story Napoleon.
Sounds like he likes to be down to earth I suppose.
Let me think about this. A single guy in his mid-twenties is in Las Vegas, which is not known for being a cloistered monastery. He's partying rather hardily with at least one, if not more, naked women in a hotel room on the strip. Anyone ever see the movie The Hangover? He sounds like my kind of guy!
I saw the Hangover - funny movie!
In fact - that movie came to mind as I read about his partying.
Maybe there was a tiger in the bathroom. Hehe
You think he invited Mike Tyson to party with him? More power to him if he did.
That's a good thing Patricia. We need more down to earth royals.
You're allowed to be naked inside of your room. Isn't that why we rent rooms?

Sounds like a good match...
... for the hardware it's designed to work with. Why whinge about a quite-cheap device not having a user-replaceable battery when almost all of Apple's expensive hardware is in the same boat?
I was all set to praise this clever iPad case with a built in Bluetooth keyboard... and then I saw what the battery life is. KeyCase iPad Folio Deluxe KeyCase's iPad Folio Deluxe: easier typing on your tablet Not the length of time the keyboard will run on single charge of its battery, but how long the battery will go on …
"Because the iPad battery should last a good deal longer than three years."
The iPad has a regular Lithium-tech battery from the same el-cheapo produciton lines everybody else gets their cells from and they start to degrade pretty much the day they are made. The iPad's battery not going to last much longer than the folio battery will.
"take it in and buy a new iPad or new battery. Chances are buyers will want the former anyway."
The future iPad will not be backwards compatible with the old iPad so this folio/kbd unit will not work with it anyway.
Quote: The future iPad will not be backwards compatible with the old iPad so this folio/kbd unit will not work with it anyway.
It is a Bluetooth keyboard compliant with Apple KBD keycodes and keymap. I bet it works with any Mac starting from 2002 or so when Apple started putting Bluetooth as default.
It will take a considerable effort to make this incompatible
To quote Apple ...
"A properly maintained iPad battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 1000 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs."
"Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. [snip] During the plan's coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $99, plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax."
After years of use of battery operated products I have found Apple's quoted times and battery quality to be extremely good .. better than most other vendors.
@The future iPad will not be backwards compatible with the old iPad so this folio/kbd unit will not work with it anyway.
Its a bluetooth keyboard and unless they change the bluetooth stack for some future non-backwards compatible protocol standard (which is highly unlikely) then it will work for years to come ... this has been the case with Macs ever since they included bluetooth keyboards as an option in 2003.
Plus if you have any real inside information on future iPad's then you could make a lot of money out of that ... but I'm guessing that you're guessing and badly at that.
"Apple's advanced chemistry and Adaptive Charging technology deliver up to 1,000 charge cycles without a significant decrease in battery capacity over a typical five year lifespan."
3 years/500 cycles is far more typical and as much as you can expect really - most of the laptop batteries in the office are useless after 3-4 years. I can't help thinking a dock connector for the keyboard would have made more sense - why use BT for something that's physically attached anyway?
I would not be so sure.
I have switched my netbook for a 2002 model Apple TiBook running Linux nowdays. The old Apple machine (with Linux) can still run circles around most modern laptops and especially the ones crippled by Intel video. However, looking at Wife's MacBook pro build quality I can clearly see that the 8 years of success have taken their toll. The quality has gone _WORSE_ over the years, not better.
So the 3 years were definitely to be expected of what Apple used to make.
I would not make any such bets regarding what it makes now including the Holy Slate.
Most of recent Apple products have either easily or at least half easily changable batteries now. The iPhone 4 requires 2 screws to be removed and you can slide the back off. The iPad is not that easy but entirely possible without ripping off glue or something like that. For something you should need to do only every four or five years at best (and this is a looong time in gadgets) I wouldn't waste a single thought about it.
Anyway, I think a decent external BT keyboard (like the Apple one which is actually quite small and light) and a case for the lone iPad with a stand might be a better way to get at an iPad with a keyboard than this thing.
It's not that easy to change batteries in Apple products. For example to remove a battery in a MacBook requires a Tri-Wing screwdriver to remove it (that's after you've taken the bottom off the case), not that hard to come by but not common.
The MacBook Pro is much worse, it has a non-standard 5 pointed Torx-like screw holding it in, as far as I know it's only available through Apple for an exorbitant price. Also not sure if it's available for purchase to the general public or only Authorised service agents. Once again that's after you've taken the bottom off the case.
The micro-3-wing originally introduced by Fuji was hard to come by at first. Once it appeared as an anti-consumer measure on mainstream equipment the screwdrivers for it dropped down to about 2$ in no time.
Same with this - the 5 sided torx will be here shortly. In fact I think I have one on the last "specialist" kits I got. I would not be surprised if cheap far-eastern battery kits for the MacBook Pro will start come bundled with a couple of heads for a standard scredriver set to do the deed.
Fighting consumer tinkering is a pointless excercise. Out of all, Apple should have learned that long ago. Even the super-anticonsumer designs like the old mac mini were being tampered with by nearly everyone who had one.
The circle is nearly complete as Jim suggests, except that you've now got a netbook that isn't running a real operating system and can't do a lot of things you want it to do. Oh, and it cost you a lot more.
I don't see the objection to the 3 year life span to be honest, for £60 I think you can expect it to fail in 3 years, what other electronic frippery at such a low price would still be working fine after three years? Even a £200 (subsidised) phone only has a two year life cycle before it's upgraded.
Or, if you are the company I work for, 10 to 18 months, depending on the type of corporate contract.
I managed to make my old Sidekick II go for the better part of 4 years- and surprisingly, the battery held up pretty decently on it. Work decided to start paying for cell phones for my group, so this is the first time pretty much ever that I'm getting a new phone (Bberry curve to an HTC Incredible) before the contract is up.
(insert standard joke about the iPad and it's lack of flash or 'real' OS)
Some of us use rolling upgrade. A phone is not thrown out in 2 years. It is relegated to less demanding duties like alarm telemetry, junior's handset, spare handset for abroad, etc. As the 2-3 year old one is relegated the phone that used to be doing these less demanding duties is chucked out with an average age of around 4-5 years before this happens.
As a result you change them on a 5 year cycle with a 2.5 year rolling upgrade for the shift. If you do that it becomes cheaper to buy non-subsidised by a considerable margin. Last time I calculated it the savings were around 30%+
It is possible to write your own apps for the iPhone and load them onto your own machine at will - there's no need to upload to iTunes and get Apple's approval.
Any paid-up developer can transfer apps to a development device, and install them on non-development devices, though they will need to be provisioned with authorisation certificates which the developer can create with Apple's tools.
But yes, you do have to cough up to become a registered developer.
at amazon, cos i ordered mine this morning.
and 50quid for a zxspectrum style keyboard is a bargin, even if i get bored of it in a few months and get another case instead
3 years will be remarkable if i'm still using it by then, i'll consider i'll have well and truely got my money's worth
I bought a £3 iPad case (with built in stand) and £17 bluetoothcompact keyboard both on eBay (UK vendor) ... both are extremely well made and the keyboard runs on 2 AA batteries. The mini-keyboard includes a lovely mini-mouse joystick and is a chocbloc style complete with working multi-media keys and of course it easily pairs with my mac mini linked to the HDTV.
I loved the Z88 .. wrote my PhD using one (in LaTeX) ... 8 lines of 80 characters .. excellent and the dead flesh keyboard was great but attracted the dust but was wipe clean! I even wrote a file upload/downloader to transfer data to/from a Sun 3 workstation ... ahh those were the days 8-)
Begining :
Im going to buy a table without the hinge bit dont worry about the keyboard etc etc ..
2 weeks later :
2 hours later :
Hey look i made my tablet a laptop with 1 simple purchase !!!!
Bystander :
that as another poster has already pointed out, it isn't a laptop because it has a poxy OS that restricts what you can do. And it's a pretty crappy spec compared to a laptop of the same price.
Ooooh it's got a clever multi touch screen! Gosh! So what? If it were that brilliant people wouldn't be buying keyboards for them.
I got over-eager and bought one of these ... sent it back for a refund the same day.
In a nutshell, the keyboard is like a dreadful hybrid of the worst aspects of the original Asus Eee 701 (too small, tiny, no right shift key) and the Cambridge Z88 (rubber! lots of rubber!)
It was impossible to type accurately on the bloody thing. And it wasn't even very good as an iPad folio case -- there are plenty of much nicer, better designed ones that don't include a failed keyboard.
Save your dosh and scour eBay for a second-hand iGo Stowaway bluetooth keyboard, say I.
I expected to see this produced sooner or later as soon as I saw the iPad. Really should have patented the idea (though I'd probably have suggested connecting via the dock connector and not having a separate battery at all...)
As for (in)compatibility with future iPads I suspect it won't take much to make it incompatible. Sure the bluetooth connection is likely to work, but I'd be amazed if Apple don't make some change to dimensions or styling that break the more basic requirement of the case physically fitting.
situation: lack of innovation, competitors better
solution: drag the market down to our level, then charge extra for basic functionality
step 1: buy 40 million asus 901s - remove keyboard and usb hub, hobble OS, add shiny screen, sand edges
step 2: double price, halve cost per unit
step 3: $$$
step 4: sell leftover keyboards with bluetooth dongle taped on
step 5: $$$$
step 6: sell leftover USB hubs
step 7: $$$$$$

Richmond County
The Richmond County Court House located at 18 Richmond Terrace on Staten Island is an Italian Renaissance structure with a Greek Revival portico overlooking the harbor and skyline of New York. The Renaissance Revival architectural style of the court house was designed by Carrere & Hastings, the firm of architects who had earlier designed the neighboring Borough Hall as well as the New York Public Library in Manhattan. Construction of the court house commenced on December 27, 1913; and delayed by World War I, it was formally opened on November 3, 1919. The court house in St. George was the fifth county court house; the fourth county court house (now part of HistoricRichmond Town) had been in use 80 years. When the court house in Richmondtown was built, there were only about 9,000 people living in Richmond County. Originally, the new court house housed Supreme Court Justice Frank S. Gannon and the Surrogate's Court Judge J. Harry Tiernan who acted also as a justice of the City Court. The District Attorney and the County Clerk also had offices in the court house. The county records were installed there January 3, 1920, and the Supreme Court Library was founded in it on February 16, 1920.
Over ninety years later the Richmond County Supreme Court still occupies 18 Richmond Terrace. However, like its predecessor in Richmondtown, the fifth county court house had grown too small. Since the opening of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in 1964, the population of Richmond County has doubled. In 1920 around the time that the court house in St. George opened, the population of Richmond County was 116,531; in 2010 the U.S. Census reported that the population of Richmond County was 468,730. Since 1990 Richmond County has been the fastest growing county in New York State. In 1920 besides the Surrogate there was only one Supreme Court justice in the Richmond County Court House. Today, besides the Surrogate's chambers there are 11 justices of the Supreme Court with chambers not only at 18 Richmond Terrace but at 130 Stuyvesant Place and 10 Richmond Terrace. In addition, the Hon. William F. Mastro of the Appellate Division - Second Judicial Department has his chambers at 60 Bay Street. The County Clerk also moved his office and the county records into 130 Stuyvesant Place in 1999. And the District Attorney also relocated to 130 Stuyvesant Place on January 1, 2001 after having left 18 Richmond Terrace on July 1, 1979. Finally, the Supreme Court Library after leaving 18 Richmond Terrace in March 2000 moved in August 2010 into 25 Hyatt Street across the street from the new court house under construction.

is where I get my knitting done these days. I have a big train-bus commute to the New Job (which is officially going "fine," but I would be lying if I said I weren't having some trouble adjusting, including a moment yesterday where I ran into a few coworkers in the kitchen and said, "I just need more work to do, you know? Do you have any work for me to do? Because I can't work like this. I need work to do. What can I do?"). So I call the commute "Ann's Knitting Factory."
Behold, 4 sleeves for baby jackets, displayed by the first shoots of our brand-new flower boxes! It's my own design, to be released in the fall. One pair of sleeves for the baby gift, one pair for the sample.
And a pair of booties, the shower gift for the same baby. I think the sole looks like an eyeball. I love it.
Ann's Knitting Factory is opening up a lot of possibilities for me. I believe I'll be able to have the collection I desire ready to publish in September... hopefully 7 patterns in e-book or magazine format. Reasonably priced. And TOTALLY UNDER MY CONTROL. I don't want to disparage publishing in magazines and books AT ALL, but there comes a point where I want full control over my yarn, my models, my photos, my layout, all of it, 100% what I want. It's coming.

The Breeze 008: The Knowledge of God
John Calvin
- John Calvin (1509-1564) was a French theologian, and a leading light in the Reformation in Europe. He was a prolific writer and Bible commentator. View all resources by John Calvin
Listen to the first chapter of Calvin's Institutes, and discover just how accessible and easy to read it is! (And then, read it!)
The Breeze 008 - Calvins Institutes - The Knowledge of God
Click on the links below for more of Calvin. Note: the easiest translation of the Institutes to read in English is the Ford Lewis Battles translation (John T McNeill - editor), but the version that is freely available online is the older Beveridge translation. The Beveridge translation is very accurate, but a good bit more difficult to read. So best advice: splash out on the hard copies of the Battles translation - thoroughly worth it!

La Abiceleste or Die Mannschaft? Messi or Mueller?
It's a World Cup final for the ages Sunday when Argentina takes on Germany in famed Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. American interest in the event may have waned a bit with the ouster of the United States in the round of 16, but watching Sunday's match can be a glimpse into the future of the sport in the U.S.
As in how long will it take to attain the status of two countries that are a threat to win the tournament every time it's played.
Argentina has won all six of its games in the tournament and Germany had a misstep was a 2-2 tie with Ghana in the event played throughout Brazil, but there are omens galore that favor the Germans to capture their fourth all-time title. Argentina seeks its third.
A rundown follows.
Germany has outscored its opposition 17-4, including a historic 7-1 trouncing of Brazil in the semifinals. That frolic through the eviscerated host nation came a day before Argentina slogged through an exhausting win over the Netherlands that was decided in a penalty-kick shootout after 120 minutes of a scoreless tie. None of Argentina's six victories have been by more than a goal.
Thomas Mueller has scored five goals for Germany, second in the event behind James Rodriguez of Colombia. The Germans also have four other multiple goal scorers and Miraoslav Klose etched his name in the record books by scoring his 16th career World Cup goal. Klose likely will come off the bench for the Germans. Lionel Messi broke his run of bad luck with his national team and has four goals for Argentina. He's also shown he can strike anywhere to change a game.
These teams have (sort of) met twice before in the final. We say "sort of" because in 1986 and 1990 it was West Germany, the Berlin Wall version. In 1986, Diego Maradona led his team to a 3-2 victory and set up the winning goal with a pass to Jorge Burruchaga in the 84th minute. In 1990, it was a scoreless match that was settled on a penalty kick by Andreas Brehme in the 85th minute. Two Argentines were ejected during the contest and their fans were furious their team was not awarded a penalty kick earlier in the game. It was the first 1-0 game in a Cup final.
This is the eighth final for Germany (West or otherwise). The Germans also have played four times in the third-place game. This is the fifth final for Argentina, which won in its home country in 1978 and again in Mexico City in '86. Strangely, Argentina never has played for third place.
If you're looking for unsung heroes, this World Cup has been a big stage for the goalkeepers, and both teams are well-equipped. Sergio Romero stopped two penalty kicks against the Netherlands. Manuel Neuer has been a stalwart for Germany. And for those of you who like obscure statistics, Mueller leads Germany after running 68.8 kilometers over the course of the tournament. Javier Mascherano has covered 67.2 kilometers to lead Argentina.
Where to watch: Argentina has a couple of tasty choices with the Buenos Aires Grill in Northridge and the Gaucho Grill in Brentwood and Long Beach. The Red Lion Tavern in Silver Lake and Alpine Village in Torrance are two German possibilities, but they're all going to be packed. Get to your favorite sports bar early if you want a seat.

Shop smart (and safe) on your smartphone
(NBC News) More Christmas shoppers are carrying mobile devices this year, which means they're more are likely to fall victim to cyber-crooks and thieves.
"The number one thing you can do, and it's a real simple thing to do, is add a password to your phone. It will help protect the data that you have on there," advises Symantec's Kevin Haley.
Possibly a bigger risk is getting hacked because you're using the wrong WiFi.
"It's always possible that somebody in a free WiFi setting could be listening in," Haley warns.
Verizon security expert Wade Baker says the safest thing to do is just shut off the WiFi and use your own plan for internet access.
Short of that, don't do anything very important while on public WiFi.
"If you are on a public network, make sure it's a legitimate one, make sure it is the one offered by Starbucks or the actual airport rather than some guy sitting in the corner," Baker warns.
And if you insist on buying online from your mobile device, only enter personal information when there's an "S", for secured" at the end of the "HTTP".

Now in its 33rd year, the Ocean Beach Town Council-sponsored event takes place this year on Saturday, Dec. 1, with a start time of 5:05 p.m. It's a full day of activities and fun for the whole family.
Making this an extra-special happening, this is the only nighttime parade in the area, with the twinkling lights on the floats in this year's event injecting an extra-magical feeling of the holidays.
The parade gets the biggest headlines, but it's just a part of the proceedings. With more than 10,000 people expected on Dec. 1, there will be no shortage of entertainment. The opening of the parade coincides with the lighting of the Ocean Beach community Christmas tree at the foot of Newport Avenue, with holiday activities all over the area until 9 p.m.
Visitors will find a plethora of options, with music, food and a full-fledged Fun Zone taking place in the adjacent Ocean Beach Pier parking lot from 9 a.m. to
9 p.m. Highlights include a skateboard contest sponsored by OB Surf and Skate.
There will also be a crafts fair with more than 20 artists participating at Veteran's Plaza (Newport Avenue and Abbott Street) running from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
"We draw a good crowd for this," said Claudia Jack, associate director of the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association. "Just about 80 percent of what's on offer is local. There are a lot of handmade crafts from people with wonderful talents, ornaments, clothing, surfboard items, something for everyone, all at reasonable prices."
There will be also be a storefront decorating contest on Newport Avenue and the surrounding area, beginning at dusk on Dec. 1. Indeed, just about everywhere you turn on Ocean Beach that day, there will be holiday fun to be had.
While the day offers plenty of opportunities for fun and shopping, it's also a chance to help the less fortunate during these holiday times. The Ocean Beach Town Council is again hosting its annual Food and Toy Drive, and participants are encouraged to donate canned food or an unwrapped toy with drop-off bins located throughout the area.
This year, everything donated during the Food and Toy Drive will be distributed Dec. 22.
"The event is important on many different levels," Jack said. "I think it brings people together. I think people realize there are others in need and it's time to give back. Last year, we adopted 70 families, 13 seniors and 13 women who live in a gated community here in Ocean Beach."
With more than 100 participants in this year's OB Holiday Parade, there is always the chance for some disorganization. But with 33 years of experience for local organizers, that rarely happens. Jack pointed out the Ocean Beach Town Council and OB MainStreet Association have parade marshals to keep things running smoothly, with the parade ending the traditional way — Santa's arrival by fire truck.
According to Jack, all the activities are coordinated by an Ocean Beach Town Council committee of 10, with an additional 75 volunteers on the day.
"All the hard work is very much worth it," Jack said. "It's wonderful when people realize they can reach out and help somebody else, but there is also the twinkle in the eye of all the children watching the parade and tree lighting. People absolutely love it."
Jack said it's all about the giving.
"I always tell people at this time of year, don't buy me a gift — I already have what I need," said Jack. "Buy me a can of corn or some food item instead. Then I can donate it to the Food and Toy Drive."
Looking ahead, the OB Town Council is also preparing to host its annual Holiday Homes Decorating Contest on Sunday, Dec. 16 to get locals into the holiday spirit and energize them about the message of the holiday season. The contest will highlight the best-of-the-best home decorations in the 92107 ZIP code. For more information, call Mike at (619) 316-3403.

#small cash loans
SBA Loans
If you're planning to start a business or expand an existing business, you might need financing help. SBA participates in a number of loan programs designed for business owners who may have trouble qualifying for a traditional bank loan.
To start the process, you should visit a local bank or lending institution that participates in SBA programs. SBA loan applications are structured to meet SBA requirements, so that the loan is eligible for an SBA guarantee. This guarantee represents the portion of the loan that SBA will repay to the lender if you default on your loan payments.
The SBA Loan Application Checklist provides a listing of forms and documents you and your lender will need to create a loan package to submit to SBA.
The following are direct links to information about commonly requested SBA programs:
Starting and Expanding Businesses
Gives 7(a) loans to eligible borrowers for starting, acquiring and expanding a small business. This type of loan is the most basic and the most used within SBA's business loan programs. Borrowers must apply through a participating lender institution.
Provides growing businesses with long-term, fixed-rate financing for major fixed assets, such as land and buildings.
Offers very small loans to start-up, newly established or growing small business concerns. SBA makes funds available to nonprofit community based lenders which, in turn, make loans to eligible borrowers in amounts up to a maximum of $50,000. Applications are submitted to the local intermediary and all credit decisions are made on the local level.
Disaster Loans
Provide financial assistance to victims of disasters or to individuals in a declared disaster area. You may be eligible for this type of loan even if you don't own a business.
Assist small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives and nonprofit organizations as they recover from economic losses resulting from physical disaster or an agricultural production disaster.
Export Assistance Loans
Provide exporters and lenders with a streamlined method of obtaining financing for loans and lines of credit up to $500,000. Lenders use their own credit decision process and loan documentation; exporters get access to their funds faster. SBA provides an expedited eligibility review with a response in less than 24 hours.
Offers loans targeted at businesses that are able to generate export sales but need additional working capital to support these opportunities.
Gives term loans that are designed for businesses that plan to start/continue exporting or those that that have been adversely affected by competition from imports. The proceeds of the loan must enable the borrower to be in a better position to compete.
Veteran and Military Community Loans
Offers funds to eligible small businesses to meet ordinary and necessary operating expenses that could have been met, but are unable to meet, because an essential employee was "called-up" to active duty in their role as a military reservist.
Special Purpose Loans
Help small businesses meet their short-term and cyclical working-capital needs through the SBA umbrella program called CAPLines.
Provides financing to eligible small businesses for the planning, design or installation of a pollution control facility.
CAIP is a program established to assist U.S. companies that are doing business in areas of the country that have been negatively affected by the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ). To be eligible, a business must reside in a county noted as being negatively affected by NAFTA, based on job losses and the unemployment rate of the county.
