Mandy de Waal is a writer who reports on technology, corruption, science, the media and whatever else she finds interesting. She loves small stories and human narratives, and dislikes persistent evangelists, bad poetry and the insane logic that currently passes for political rhetoric. Back in journalism after spending time in the corridors of corporate greed, de Waal has written for Mail & Guardian, Noseweek, City Press, Rapport, MoneyWeb, Brandchannel (New York) and a number of other good titles. She now writes for The Daily Maverick because it's the smart thing to do.
Born into an extended family where SA's migrant labour system brought material opportunity, but wreaked havoc with familial ties, health and communities, artist Lehlohonolo Dhlamini tries to make sense of a Marikana that has wounded us all. He has done so the best way he knows – with his brushes and water colours. By MANDY DE WAAL.
I love Tchaikovsky. It's easy to be evil to the magnificent melodrama of his music, making it perfect for the latest show by Russia's Imperial Ice Stars. By LESLEY STONES
Nobody will argue that the South African new car market is one of the most diverse, and most competitive, in the world. In a year that saw an almost endless, sometimes daily, procession of new model launches, selecting our favourites was never going to be easy. But here they are: Daily Maverick's best of 2013 - a fantastic five of newcomers that, in our opinion, deliver their motoring wares better than the rest. By DEON SCHOEMAN.
On the Sunday following Nelson Mandela's death, RICHARD POPLAK attended a memorial service for a well regarded South African musician. It was the South African moment in miniature.
The A3 Sedan is Audi's first foray into the premium small sedan segment, and considering it's based on the same, excellent platform as the A3 hatchback, it should be competent, composed and classy. But is it really different enough to warrant its presence in an already comprehensive Audi line-up? DEON SCHOEMAN finds out.
How many elephants are there in Africa? We don't know for sure. But, in the way that murder is always a more reliable statistic because there's a body to count, we can arrive at the number poached every year. It's shocking: about 40,000. That's one every 15 minutes. Elephants are now being killed faster than they can breed. By DON PINNOCK.
The British TV series Up, which selected a group of children and filmed an update on their lives every seven years, is hailed as one of the greatest documentary projects of all time. South Africa is one of the countries which has its own spin-off, documenting the growth to adulthood of 18 children from vastly diverse backgrounds ever since they were seven years old in 1992. This year they are 28, and the fourth documentary installment of their lives – 28Up – will be screened in January. REBECCA DAVIS got a sneak preview of a fascinating project that deserves to be vastly better known.
The latest Chevrolet Cruze is exactly what you'd expect of the American marque in the 21st Century motoring context: strong on features and perceived value; attractive in an inoffensive, middle-of-the road kind of way; and spacious for a C-segment compact sedan. With the arrival of a new engine, Chev hopes to add dynamic appeal to the list of attributes. By DEON SCHOEMAN.
In one of the more eccentric corners of Cape Town's weirdest suburb lies a hotspot for an eclectic mix of underground jazz, open mic sessions and poetry evenings. It's tiny, but it's bursting at the seams with local talent. Yet it's threatened with closure. By JARED SACKS.
How good, or bad, is the latest Mandela biopic? Let's put it this way - it has a new U2 song on its soundtrack. By RICHARD POPLAK.
A new holiday is about to be born in America, and even before it has occurred, it has been attracting considerable publicity. No, it's not Frank Costanza's famous (anti-Christmas alternative) "Festivus" of "Seinfeld" fame, nor Maulana Karenga's "Kwanza"- designed to help African Americans find a solemnity in the Christmas season beyond all the rampant, crass commercialism. Those two have already become old hat - having actually found a place on the calendar in the minds of a growing number of people. No, this time around, it will be the celebration of "Thanksgivukkah". Actually, this holiday did happen a few times before, way back in 1888, and after this year, it will come round yet again - but only after more than 78,000 years from now. J. BROOKS SPECTOR explains.
We don't often have good things to say about the City of Jo'burg, so this is a special occasion. The municipality's decision to sponsor the Jo'burg Ballet has breathed new life into the company. Like Sleeping Beauty being kissed by a handsome prince, ballet in this town is waking up and beautiful things are happening. ALEX ELISEEV finds his escape…
David Kramer deserves huge kudos for being the only man to have ever persuaded British playwright Willy Russell to allow one of his scripts to be adapted to a different setting. And better yet, it really works. By LESLEY STONES.
If only. If only it had been raining cats and dogs in Dallas fifty years ago and a certain presidential limousine had had its removable top in place; or if Lee Harvey Oswald had had a sneezing fit in the dusty Texas Book Depository building at the same moment the motorcade had made its slow turn at Dealey Plaza. Had that happened, newspapers worldwide would have announced the sad news that two giants of contemporary literature - CS Lewis and Aldous Huxley had passed away instead of John F Kennedy. Instead, their deaths were overwhelmed by the martyrdom of an American president. J. BROOKS SPECTOR looks back at their legacy.
As part of a new Daily Maverick series profiling young, African leaders, we sat down with Aya Chebbi, a Tunisian blogger and activist. She is the kind of young person that inspires hope in humanity, a 'doer', an active participant in the society she has grown up in. And still she is warm, insightful, humble. Just don't use the phrase "Arab Spring" around her. By KHADIJA PATEL.
The Peugeot RCZ is one of those rare beasts - a car that made an almost seamless transition from concept car to showroom model. The RCZ-R adds the urge that the normal RCZ has always cried out for – and the result is something even greater than its parts, as DEON SCHOEMAN finds out.
Doris Lessing published over 50 books, fighting in her work for freedom from oppression, categorisation and compartmentalisation. Her death, at the age of 94, leaves an absence of one of Southern Africa's great voices – but also one of its great personalities. By MAUREEN ISAACSON.
The novelist Doris Lessing, who tackled race, ideology, gender politics and the workings of the psyche in a prolific and often iconoclastic career, died in London on Sunday at the age of 94, her publisher HarperCollins said. By Kevin Liffey.
On paper, the specifications of Audi's just-launched S3 might come as a disappointment to premium performance hatchback fans. At 206 kW, the S3's maximum muscle trails both the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG (by a huge margin) and the BMW M135i. But there's more to the S3 than statistics, as DEON SCHOEMAN finds out.
Sitting in the garden, the sunlight is making it one of those perfect Johannesburg spring days – just right for a wide-ranging conversation about art, music, life, death and everything. Neo Muyanga, the man commissioned to compose the newest opera that will explore Madiba magic, is explaining where his musical inspirations and his musical ideas come from. It is a complicated business, it seems. J. BROOKS SPECTOR talks with the composer about his work, his life, his dreams, and even his fears.
In a remote corner of Patagonia, a community exists to whom Sarie Marais is a familiar ditty and melktert is sold in the local café. They are the descendants of Afrikaners who travelled across the ocean to Argentina around 1903, lured by the prospect of land and a new life away from the hated British. In 1965, a Sunday Times journalist wrote that in this area, "more Afrikaans than Spanish is heard in the shops". Today only a handful of the Patagonian Boers remain who can understand Afrikaans. A Cape Town filmmaker is determined to document their world in an upcoming film titled "The Boers at the end of the world". By REBECCA DAVIS
Janice Honeyman is back with another pantomime, this time in the form of Aladdin. As a visual treat it's fabulous, but the acres of glamorous material struggle to disguise the threadbare plot. By LESLEY STONES.
It's taken Mercedes-Benz a long time to create a real presence in the premium compact car space. The all-new A-class is its first hatchback contender is this segment - and now there is the CLA: a compact four-door that, for once, steals the march on its rivals. By DEON SCHOEMAN.
If one rainbow family cannot hold together in harmony, what chance does an entire country stand? By LESLEY STONES.
What do footballer Lucas Radebe, activist Rhoda Kadalie, 'Paleo diet'-advocate Tim Noakes and Business Day editor Peter Bruce – to name a few – have to teach the South African public about ethics? This was the intriguing premise of a new ethics conference held in Cape Town on Tuesday: EthicsXchange. REBECCA DAVIS couldn't resist being there.
Addiction is arguably one of the Western Cape's most serious problems, and instead of getting better, it's getting worse. Is education the answer? Dougie Dudgeon, organiser of the brand-new Cape Town Recovery Film Festival, thinks it is. He spoke to MARELISE VAN DER MERWE.
A new double bill featuring two Greek-themed plays is on in Sandton – one offering a chick-lit type of comedy, and the other a drama around land occupation that has echoes of South African history. They couldn't be more different, but both had their moments, writes LESLEY STONES.
Let go of the hype and the circus atmosphere, and fashion week is, in fact, a trade show: designers not only create collections for the love of fashion but also with the hope of attracting potential buyers. Ranges that are commercial enough will find their way into the alleys of local retailers while others will fall into sartorial memorabilia. EMILIE GAMBADE explores life after fashion week.
It's hard to believe that there was a time when sport utility vehicles were more utilitarian than sporty, when 4x4s were true go-anywhere workhorses rather than show-off kerb-crawlers, and lifestyle motoring was a bonnet stripe and a set of shiny wheels. It's even harder to believe that it took a Toyota to change all that … By DEON SCHOEMAN.
Lou Reed, the pioneering musician who fronted influential rock band The Velvet Underground and won mainstream acclaim with solo songs "Walk on the Wild Side" and "Perfect Day", died on Sunday aged 71. Reed, whose band fused music and art in collaboration with its early benefactor, pop artist Andy Warhol, died at the Long Island home he shared with his wife, Laurie Anderson, following complications from a liver transplant earlier this year, his literary agent Andrew Wylie said.

I was a little aprehensive about cooking this soup thinking it maybe a little boring being cauliflower soup but I have to say both my husband and myself loved it. We used semi skimmed milk, added a few shakes of curry powder, approx 1/2 teaspoon on turmeric and a bayleaf (along with salt and pepper) and it was beautiful... will definitely be making it again. Oh we also grated the cheese, as others had suggested :)

The Hofstra Shakespeare Festival
Hofstra University's Annual Shakespeare Festival began in 1950 with a production of Julius Caesar. Throughout its' long history the Festival has presented a varied selection of the plays of William Shakespeare, lesser-known short plays from the period, musicales, and scenes from Shakespeare's plays performed by high school groups from the greater New York area. Each year a different piece is performed on the main stage, representing one of 26 plays of the Shakespearean canon presented at the festival.
Since 1951, the second year of the Festival, plays have been performed regularly on a 5/6 life-sized replica of the Globe stage as reconstructed by John Cranford Adams, later assisted by Irwin Smith. Dr. Adams was President of Hofstra University from 1944 to 1964. The replica was built under supervision of Donald H. Swinney, designer and technical director in the Department of Drama. The Globe was erected each spring in the Calkins Gymnasium where the Festival was presented in its early years. Since 1958 the Festival has been held in the John Cranford Adams Playhouse. In most years the replica of the Globe has been used as the setting for the Shakespeare Festival.
The Globe Playhouse
When John Cranford, Hofstra's president from 1944 to 1964, was a candidate for his doctorate at Cornell University, he chose as his dissertation subject, The Globe Playhouse-Its Design and Construction. The Globe, completed in 1599, provided the setting for a number of Shakespeare's greatest plays.
The design of the Globe has excited the imagination of Shakespearean scholars for more than a century. It was known to have been built of timber, roofed with thatch, and contained, for stage effects, a small canon, which in 1613 accidentally set fire to the thatch, destroying the theatre.
In the preparation for the publication of his work by Harvard University Press in 1942, Dr. Adams spent 10 years in research. This involved study in England of Tudor architecture, building methods and allied crafts, plus hundreds of Elizabethan plays, contracts, playhouse documents, legal records, letters and maps.
Convinced that the subject could not be explored by the research methods of the literary scholar alone, Dr. Adams tested each clue to the enigmatic structure by creating, side by side with his book, a scale model of the Globe, as a third dimension to his findings. Dr. Adams' model is now presented in the lobby of his name sake playhouse.

A car burglary suspect is dead and another is seriously wounded after being shot by a man who reportedly caught them breaking into his SUV.
Twenty-five-year-old Roger Pemberton told police he heard noises coming from his vehicle, which was parked in front of a home on Lightstone Drive in the Stone Oak area.
"He saw one of the suspects inside his vehicle," said officer Matt Porter.
Pemberton reportedly confronted the suspect and saw something in his hand.
"At that point, there were some shots fired," said Porter.
There was another suspect who got into a getaway vehicle.
"He was also struck by the gunfire. He made it a short distance down the street where he crashed into another vehicle and he died of his injuries," Porter told 550 KTSA News.
The other wounded suspect was taken to a hospital where he's expected to be charged with burglary by proxy.
No charges are expected to be filed against Pemberton.

Guys, don't let stubble come between you and the finish line this spring break. Gillette recently conducted a 16-city live social experiment to determine what kind of kiss women prefer – with or without stubble. The results are in, and 85 percent of women across the country prefer to kiss a guy who's smooth shaven. Furthermore, two out of three women said guys will have better luck with them if they are smooth shaven. Therefore, to help guys achieve the look most appealing to the ladies this spring break, Gillette's K.I.S.S. (Keep It Smooth Shaven) tent is visiting six of the top destinations in the country (South Padre Island, Miami, Lake Havasu City, Daytona Beach, Las Vegas and Panama City Beach) this March. Guys will be able to get kissably smooth with the Fusion ProGlide SilverTouch, Gillette's best solution for guys with sensitive skin, as well as walk away with multiple products from its sensitive product line – all to help them continue to keep it smooth shaven throughout spring break and beyond.�For more information, visit www.KeepItSmoothShaven.com.

Gov. Snyder says low water levels in Great Lakes require emergency action
Governor Rick Snyder says emergency actions are necessary to address low water levels in the Great Lakes.
The lakes are at their lowest levels in decades.
Snyder says that could be a big threat to Michigan's harbors.
"There's going to be a need to do some, what I would describe as emergency dredging, to make sure we keep it open for commerce, for tourism, for many other issues. And that's something we need to be discussing," Snyder said.
Snyder called for more than a $1 billion increase in state infrastructure spending during his State of the State speech this month.
He says improvements to harbors and canals should be part of that plan.
The governor says he'll give more details about his emergency plan for the Great Lakes during his budget presentation next week.

Hofstra Students to Study Presidential Politics Firsthand at New Hampshire Presidential Primary
Students will participate in events during final three days of campaigning by Democratic and Republican candidates
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY – Hofstra students will experience the excitement of the official launch of the 2008 U.S. presidential election process during the three days leading up to the New Hampshire presidential primary on Tuesday, January 8.The students, accompanied by faculty, will travel to New Hampshire January 5-7 to take part in various Democratic and Republican candidate events in order to witness for themselves how the process works. "New Hampshire is one of the most important battlegrounds in each electoral cycle, and 2008 will prove especially so," said political science Professor David Green, who is organizing the trip. "This year the presidential race is wide open, and the primary will be crucial for the nearly 20 Democratic and Republican candidates running.
"Because the state is so important, and because it is so small and so close, Hofstra students have the unique opportunity to observe first-hand the 'retail politics' of campaigning in New Hampshire coffee shops, living rooms and small auditoriums," said Dr. Green. "They may also get to shake the hand of the next president of the United States. The atmosphere right before the vote will be electric."
Sponsored by the Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Dean's Office of Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Hofstra University Honors College, the First Year Connections program and the Center for Civic Engagement, the New Hampshire trip will cost about $65 per student, including bus transportation and lodging. Space is limited and pre-registration is required - first-come, first-served. Students interested in participating should contact Dr. Green at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Dr. Green led Hofstra students to New Hampshire twice during the 2004 presidential election campaign. "It was an amazing experience for the students," he said. "We met nearly every candidate running. John Kerry served us breakfast at a firehouse pancake breakfast event. John Edwards rolled into a bowling alley event at midnight, in the snow, with a reception like a rock star."
Students had the opportunity to speak with former New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen and to hear stories of past presidential candidates and campaigns from one of the most powerful members of the state legislature while sitting in his kitchen eating cookies with him and his wife, Dr. Green said. The students also were briefed by University of New Hampshire professors on how the primary system works. "Several students were so enthusiastic, they wound up working on campaigns after the trip," said Dr. Green.
Hofstra will host the third and final presidential debate on October 15, 2008. President Stuart Rabinowitz will soon announce plans for a series of academic programs to be held in the months leading up to the debate that will provide students and the community with insights into the process and workings of the national election.
Hofstra University is a dynamic private institution where students can choose from more than 140 undergraduate and 155 graduate programs in liberal arts and sciences, business, communication, education and allied human services, and honors studies, and a School of Law. With a student-faculty ratio of 14-to-1, our professors teach small classes averaging 23 students that emphasize interaction, critical thinking and analysis. Hofstra offers a faculty whose highest priority is teaching excellence, cutting edge technology, extensive library resources, internships and special educational programs that appeal to their interests and abilities. The Hofstra community is driven, dynamic and energetic, helping students find and focus their strengths to prepare them for a successful future.

dogman wrote:Looks really well thought out. The long wheelbase( I think) makes rear suspension less needed that on short base bikes. Front shocks though, are always worth having to make hand fatigue less on a 60 mile + day. Cargo capacity to carry the luggage and batteries for cross country travel is no problem on a longtail.
You may already have it in the plan, but for high mileage daily riding, you really need to have a thermometer in the motor, or on the axle stub to keep from melting down the motor climbing some huge hill in the middle of nowhere. Each day on a tour, you will have to know what speed is sustainable in that days weather and terrain. If you travel above the sustainable speed and get hot, you need to know when to stop before damaging stuff.

icecube57 wrote:You need to drill out those side covers. I first drilled mine half way up the unibit. It worked well last year. This year I drilled mine out to the largest unibit size. It can take a little over 2000w+ continuous without having to back off 60v 45+A. WOT for 15 miles Ive tested and I got into the 130s. I still got the stock harness in mine but its chopped off an inch or two out the axel. Soldered and shrinked wrapped halls and terminated phase wires with andersons. To extend the wires I used 22G hall and 10g phase. Working just fine. Even routed mine through the fork and frame. Good Luck! Nice Build. I wonder what your pack voltage will be under load. I rest at 66v and hover around 56-57 under full load without restriction on my 60v 20AH Thundersky Pack. I currently have my controller lvc set around 59-60v. You feel a soft shutter under load as it clips the lvc. It feels like it throttles the current back allowing the voltage to stay 59-60v and allows me to go slightly faster than me just letting the voltage sag to whatever 57 or lower. I have the timing advanced enabled also. My controller is also set to overshoot on current before it pulls it back in to the correct amount. I have phase current set at 125. I peak around 35ish on my GM front motor on level ground with 325lb rider 33lb battery pack and 60lb bike you should be able to get to the high 35+s atleast.

I'm guessing those packs are clusters of 18650s inside a little can with a BMS and display? Field Coms batteries?

@grindz: those are interesting looking packs. Are those little LCDs on there to display battery info?
mr.electric wrote:When a brushless hub goes in reverse it is quicker to flip the wheel around if it were a front hub.
There are 36 combinations of hall and phase wires. Only one good forward and one good reverse combo. To reverse you have to swap two phase wires, the right two phase wires and make some hall wire changes as well.
With an RC motor it is easy, just swap any two phase wires. My BMC controller has a reverse jumper to save the hastle. I spent over an hour on various combos on a front crystalite with rim brakes and wished I had just flopped the wheel.
GrayKard wrote:What was the average speed on your run and what did the winner have for average speed. Reason I'm asking is that it sounds like you had to do a lot of stops and starts otherwise I would expect your efficiency to be better than that.
My average speed isn't that high on my bike but it is very efficient when I can run WOT the whole time. Last night on my commute home I had an average speed of 18.0mph with a Wh/mi. of approx. 13.7 and that was with no pedaling.
Looks like it was a very fun event.

The latest film from Robert and Kathy Chrestensen uses a naturalist/poet, a native storyteller/basket-maker, a long-distance hiker and a glacial researcher to profess the wonders of the Olympic Peninsula wilderness.
"Out of the Mist – Olympic Wilderness Stories," the third feature-length film from the Chrestensens, will be shown in Tacoma on Friday, in Seattle on Jan. 25 and in Olympia on Feb. 6.
The couple's previous films were a look at the lower elevations of Mount Rainier and the conservation ethic of Harvey Manning.
Their latest effort is meant "to promote wilderness preservation through motion pictures that foster respect and appreciation for the natural world," Robert Chrestensen said in a prepared statement.
"What better way than through the words and actions of four unique individuals who know Washington's Olympics intimately and share a deep kinship with them? Their stories are inspiring. The scenery is breathtaking."
In "Out of the Mist," Dave Skinner, Harvest Moon, Dane Burke and Tim McNulty share their passion and memories of their time spent traveling through the Olympic wilderness.
Skinner has lived, hiked and climbed in the Olympics most of his life. He is known for his work on the Skyline Trail and other less-traveled paths in the Olympic National Park. He has spent more than 30 summers perched high on Mount Olympus doing glacier research for the University of Washington.
After getting out of the military, hiking the Olympics became a form of therapy, Skinner said in the film. His passion for hiking became so great, that is how he would spend his summers. He joked that he worked for the same Port Angeles pulp mill 14 times because he would keep quitting to go hiking.
Whether working on the Skyline Trail, climbing Mount Olympus or watching sunsets from Panic Peak, Skinner said the Olympics always hold a new surprise.
"All you have to do is look around and you'll see something you've never seen before," he said in the film.
Moon, a member of the Quinault Indian Nation, discovered her ancestry late in her teens after being raised by a white family. She reaffirmed her native roots by going on a three-year vision quest in the Olympics. She is a Coast Salish storyteller and basket weaver.
Much of Moon's story relates to water – the varied moods of Lake Quinault in the morning, to the sounds of the rain, to the bounty the peninsula offers because of that rain. She talked of hiking up the Enchanted Valley with her husband, climbing so high she could step across the small stream that would become the Quinault River.
Burke is discovering the Olympics on his own, via extended backpacking trips. He started with a 17-day trek in 2008, then followed that with a 50-day solo adventure from the south to the north.
"That experience was absolutely life changing," he said of his nearly two-month adventure. "It was a real special experience.
"Some of the happiest moments of my life have been in the Olympics," he told the filmmakers.
McNulty has lived, hiked and backpacked on the Peninsula for more than 40 years. In that time, he has become the definitive authority on its natural history.
"It was the Olympic Peninsula that reached out and grabbed me," he said in the film. "It was all I could ever live for."
He talked of the different feel the peninsula has during each of the seasons. For McNulty, those feelings run deep and are very personal.
"It's the beginning of the world. That's one of the feelings I get in the Olympics," he said.
It is McNulty who sums up the feelings of all four at the film's end.
"We were able to save this place before it got trashed. That's been an important part of life, professionally and spiritually," he said. "The Olympics are a gift."

Alan - neither their actions nor their words seem are the magic bullet that will: (1) keep existing customers from defecting who are doing so at an accelerated rate, or: offer a compelling reason to (2) recapture previous customers who have switched or (3) capture new customers.
Rim's traditional customer base was always too narrow to sustain the company in the long. "Blackberry People" found the proprietary and unimaginative product(s) was no longer helping them "get things done" and have moved on while Blackberry continues to look inside vs. out for inspiration.
Hi Barbara Krafte,
Well, Nokia still sells Symbian 40 and 60 phones, but for the most part, it's better the future of the company on Windows Phone 8, just as RIM is betting its future on BlackBerry 10 and will continue to BlackBerry 7 phones.
One of Nokia's major problems was it placed so many bets -- at least, it engaged in so many research projects and prototype phones -- that it didn't focus on a smaller group of products. Actually, I've always applauded Nokia for how it conducted so much research all over the world and looked at so many lifestyes.
Unfortunately, Nokia wasn't able to translate its research into enough major hits. And everyone who's seen MeeGo has been sad that it wasn't integrated to a large number of handsets. Alas, like webOS, MeeGo didn't quite get its act together.
Also, both Nokia and RIM had enormous problems with bureaucracy that stifled and delayed new products. And both companies were arrogant about the superiority of their operating system(s) and the quality of their research.
Yes, it does seem that RIM's executives are talking more about its traditional customer base of enterprises and "BlackBerry People" who "want to get things done," rather than waxing enthusiastically about how the new phones, OS and applications will capture many new customers.
It seems that RIM wants to, (1) keep existing customers from defectiong, (2) recapture previous customers who have switched and then (3) capture new customers. Of course, RIM wants all three of those categories, but I suspect that's the order of importance that RIM's looking at.
I certainly agree that once an enterprise has switched from RIM, especially large enterprises -- and gone through all the expense, support and other hassles -- there's little chance it will switch back.
Alan – sorry for the delayed reply.
Nokia certainly was a victim of its own arrogance and stumbled. Unlike RIM it never put all its bets down on the same horse. RIM isn't stumbling, it's spiraling. And the fact that it continues to be blinded by what it once was without a vision going forward points to the difference between the two companies.
Alan -
The sign of a terminally flawed company is desperation and "desperately wanting to maintain" vs. broaden its current user base is telltale. The company, whose CEO's recent comments demonstrate utter denial of their situation, is delusional if it thinks one new product – particularly an extension of a currently obsolesced one – no matter how compelling the new technology - will transform RIM into a consumer company.
But the reality is that customer defections are bleeding the company. The list is long and painful from the recent Federal agency announcements - ATF, Defense Department, U.S. Customs and Immigration along with corporate defections like Halliburton and Yahoo. None are coming back to RIM anytime soon and could just be the nail in the coffin.
Thanks for the detail, Alan. I sure don't know what the best answer is, but it seems we want everything about our devices to be (reasonably) small and portable, except we want good keyboards and -- for some activities -- great screens.
I am just setting the challenge!
Hi Kim,
Creating extremely lightweight and portable keyboards -- with good key feel -- certainly is a huge design challenge. In one of my comments, I mentioned roll-up keyboards and projector-based keyboards. Both have been available for a few years and they work.
The roll-up keyboards are rubberized and don't feel very good. The tactile response is poor, although keys can be pushed down. Also, they are kind of bulky, as you know.
Projector keyboards display a full keyboard, typically in red, on a flat surface. They work, although not as well as roll-up keyboards. Also, one huge problem is pounding the virtual keys can hurt! Typing on a hard surface like a table isn't pleasant, and there's no tactile feedback, except the pain in your fingers.
In addition, projector keyboards require an external box. I haven't seen any commercial versions that are embedded into a phone or other device. Projected keyboards look very cool, though.
I don't know of any paper keyboards, but I'm eager to test Microsoft's Surface Touch Cover and Type Cover. Some reviewers say the Touch Cover works fairly well, although others don't like it. Many reviewers seem to like the Type Cover, which similar to a "real" keyboard, but with very shallow key travel.
Personally, if I'm traveling (or just eating at a nearby Panera) and I know I'm going to want to type extensively -- and I almost always do! -- I want as good a keyboard as possible. That means either a laptop computer (including a Chromebook) or the iPad with my relatively large Logitech keyboard.
Alas, like listening to mp3 music rather than CDs, people are getting used to inferior experiences, such as touch screen keyboards on phones and mediocre chicklet keys as on MacBook Airs and the like.
I'm waiting for this.
I think this is the real design challenge. Put a one-stop-for-everything device in our pockets, but with reasonably generous screen and keyboard availability. Two possibilities for the screen: one which folds up like a sheet of paper (people are working on this), or some kind of projector which would allow you to throw a sharp screen image on any blank space (table, wall).
Is anyone working on paper keyboards? I'm a traditionalist too, but I could imagine a paper keyboard being less annoying than chiclets.
I'm thinking of something much more portable than this:

College Basketball Betting Gonzaga vs. BYU - Prepare For A WCC Showdown
Take a break from that hockey blog for a second and head over to the college basketball section of your favorite sports site, where you should start researching Thursdays clash in the West Coast Conference featuring Gonzaga and Brigham Young. These two are trying to keep up with Saint Marys, who are unbeaten in the conference, so this game takes on extra meaning.
Gonzaga BYU Odds Thursday, 11:00 PM ET
The Bulldogs (17-3, 7-1 WCC) started their three-game stretch on the road with a 74-62 win at Portland, and sportsbook reviews would point towards a huge second half for Gonzaga, who outscored the Pilots by 16 points. Gary Bell led a balanced lineup with 18 points as four Gonzaga players reached double figures, and the Bulldogs had a huge edge at the foul line, going 25-of-31 while Portland was only 6-of-10. Super Bowl betting players would compare this to a team coaxing their opponents into too many flags, and Gonzaga took advantage of their extra opportunities. The Bulldogs have now won four in a row after losing to Saint Marys, and theyve lost to the Big Ten duo of Illinois (on the road) and Michigan State. This team could scare some squads in the postseason.
The Cougars (18-6, 6-3 WCC) fell 80-66 at home to Saint Marys for their second loss in four games, and they were also defeated by a deficit at the foul line (the Gaels were 25-of-33, while BYU were 14-of-22), while the Cougars allowed their opponents to shoot 55.8% from the field. Matt Carlino and Noah Hartsock had 15 points apiece for the Bulldogs, who have more of a team game since Jimmer Fredette left for the NBA, and players that work with price per head software know how much a superstar means in college hoops. BYU has fallen to some good teams like the Gaels (twice), Baylor, Wisconsin and even Loyola Marymount, and that may be their ceiling without Fredette; good enough to get a solid record and into the NCAA Tournament, but theyre not scaring anyone in the top tier.
BYU should be the favorites at home, where they are 7-4 ATS, while Gonzaga is only 1-4 ATS on the road, but the Bulldogs will be out to avenge an 89-67 trouncing at the hands of BYU in last years Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament, when Fredette sunk 34 points. Gonzaga has a more versatile and balanced squad than BYU, and theyll be motivated for payback after what went down in Denver last March. Even with their poor ATS record away from home, lay a little on Gonzaga on Thursday in your college basketball betting picks.

The Netherlands is still Europe and it is not some kind of strange place. I believe the biggest benefit of her studying abroad is the fact that she can make a lot of friends from different countries now. So, to parents of all potential international students I'd like to say not to be scared and let your son or daughter study at Hanze University. The Netherlands are great!" Fred & Birgit Glindemann, parents of Anja Glindemann International Facility Management "Students studying abroad will improve their chances on the labour market worldwide!" "We think starting an international study is a good thing. Students studying abroad will get more opportunities to develop their personality. And what's even better; they will improve their chances on the labour market worldwide! Furthermore, we are happy that our daughter chose Hanze UAS because even before students start studying, they already have the feeling that people take care of them. Hanze UAS is a university we can recommend!"

Former President Bill Clinton described on Friday analysis of the presidential debates as a distraction, and said the Republicans -- including presidential nominee Mitt Romney -- are playing "hide and seek" with their proposals.
As the presidential campaign enters its final stretches, voters tuned in this month by the millions to see and evaluate the candidates. The second presidential debate - held on Tuesday - was watched by over 65.6 million people, according to a Nielsen rating, which said that some 67.1 million watched the first debate held on October 3.
But Clinton said the talk of "body language and who's grunting and who's smiling and all that" is irrelevant.
"Folks, that doesn't make a lick of difference in your life," he said in Green Bay, Wisconsin. "That's designed to distract you from what the impact of what these folks are advocating on real people is. That's all I care about."
Clinton spoke following what voters watching the debate saw as a draw, according to a CNN/ORC International poll conducted the evening of the debate. Those watching the earlier meeting of Obama and Romney said in a CNN survey that Romney emerged the clear winner.
Obama and Romney meet for their third and final debate on Monday in Florida with just over two weeks remaining until Election Day.
The former president said Republicans are playing "hide and seek" and digging a hole with their proposals.
"What if you got hired to fill in a hole," Clinton said. "I want you to fill in for me and I'll pay you $25 an hour to do it. So you get a shovel, and I assume you're gonna get some dirt and put it in the hole.
"But instead, you jump in the hole and dig it deeper," he continued. "And you say, 'I need to exercise. I just want to make it a little deeper before I start to fill it in.' That's the Romney budget. That's the Republican budget."
Clinton's event was attended by Rep. Tammy Baldwin, the Democratic nominee for a U.S. Senate seat. Two polls recent polls in the race - a NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist survey and a Marquette University sample - show a tight race between Baldwin and former Gov. Tommy Thompson within the surveys' sampling errors.

To: All Licensed Insurance Producers and Surplus Lines Brokers
Re: Subscription Policies
Surplus Lines Requirements in AS 21.34 Apply to Subscription Policies that Combine Admitted Insurance with Surplus Lines or Unauthorized Insurance.
The purpose of this bulletin is to point out to insurance producers and surplus lines brokers the effect of AS 21.34.025 on subscription policies.
Alaska Statute 21.34.025 provides that subscription policies, or jointly underwritten policies, are treated as surplus lines placements in their entirety if written by a combination of authorized and nonadmitted insurers. Nonadmitted insurers include "eligible" or "white-listed" surplus lines insurers and chapter 33 unauthorized insurers. Therefore, if at least one surplus lines or unauthorized insurer participates, the entire policy, including any admitted insurance portion, is subject to the requirements of chapter 34 of the Alaska Insurance Code.
When a subscription policy is considered surplus lines under AS 21.34.025, every person placing the policy must be licensed as required by AS 21.27. The insurance producer must be a licensed surplus lines broker, or must involve a licensed surplus lines broker to place the coverage.
Taxes and Surplus Lines Fee
Under AS 21.09.210, premium tax on admitted insurance is paid by the insurer. But when admitted insurance is part of a subscription policy subject to chapter 34, AS 21.34.180(a) makes the surplus lines broker responsible for collection of premium tax "as specified by the director." However, nothing in the statutes or the legislative history indicates that the legislature intended the admitted portion of a subscription policy to be double taxed.
Therefore, a surplus lines broker who places a subscription policy that includes admitted insurance must verify that the admitted insurer pays the tax, but does not again collect tax that the policyholder has already paid through the admitted portion of the premium. The surplus lines broker is not required to collect tax on the admitted portion of a subscription policy if the broker
The surplus lines broker is responsible to collect and pay the premium tax on surplus lines and unauthorized portions of a subscription policy. The surplus lines broker's monthly transaction report must show the gross premium charged for the subscription policy, and use the exemption page to explain that premium tax on the admitted portion is paid by the admitted insurer. "See attached certificate" may be shown as the reason for the exemption.
The surplus lines broker is also responsible for collection of the 1% surplus lines filing fee imposed by AS 21.34.190. This fee applies to the total amount of the premium charged, including both the admitted and non-admitted portions of the placement.
Participation of an unlisted nonadmitted insurer
If a portion of a subscription policy is placed with a nonadmitted insurer (also referred to as unauthorized) that does not appear on the list of eligible surplus lines insurers published under AS 21.34.050 (also referred to as the "white list"), additional chapter 34 requirements apply. The surplus lines broker and the unauthorized insurer must comply with the applicable requirements of AS 21.34.040, including furnishing the nonadmitted insurer's current annual statement to the director, and AS 21.34.060 and 3 AAC 25.010(b). Within 30 days after placing the coverage, the surplus lines broker must also
Other Chapter 34 Requirements
Other chapter 34 requirements that apply when a subscription policy is considered surplus lines under AS 21.34.025 include the following:
However, the whole placement is exempted from the Guarantee Association coverage and is not subject to rate and form filings, even for the portion of the risk that is placed with admitted insurer(s).
The Division of Insurance intends to enforce strict compliance with the statutes and regulations because public protection requires no less. The division will also act to ensure that financial obligations to the State of Alaska are satisfied. For questions regarding this bulletin, please contact the Division of Insurance, P.O. Box 110805, Juneau, AK 99811-0805; (907) 465-2515, fax (907) 465-3422; or the Anchorage office at (907) 269-7900; fax (907) 269-7910; or via electronic mail at:

Growth & Skill Development
You've probably seen the signs. Grabbing a spoon during meals, pulling her socks off right after you put them on, and turning the pages of her favorite book.
These are cues of independence and are completely normal. And although it may be frustrating and time-consuming to let her "do it herself," it will help your baby later if you give her a little independence now.
As your older baby reaches this age of independence, here are a few tasks you can let your baby do by herself. But remember, even an independent toddler should never be left alone. So always stay within reach.
Show your baby how you brush your own teeth, and she'll try to do the same. Don't expect perfection just yet. It's the learning that counts. Be sure to help her finish the job.
Place a stool in front of the sink, let lukewarm water run slowly, and show your baby how to dispense and use liquid soap. Bar soaps aren't a good idea yet because they're so slippery, and some actually look like snacks to a 1-year-old.
This is a great age to let your baby experiment with food. Try new snacks that she can pick up with her fingers to practice feeding herself.
Also, try letting her experiment with a spoon. Thick foods work best for this so try your baby's favorite yogurt thickened with baby cereal. Give her a couple of baby spoons and then let her try using them.
If you're lucky, she'll think it's all in good fun. Sing a cleanup song every time you do it, and before you know it she'll be singing along with you.
Life with a toddler who insists on doing things for herself can be exhausting. It would be faster for you to wash her, feed her, and dress her, but in the long run you'll be glad you taught her so much at this early age. So for now praise her accomplishments, allow extra time for independent tasks, resist the temptation to help, and take lots of pictures.
*Offer benefits may vary. Limit one offer per household.

Most Recent Winner:Sebastien Ogier (2010)
After making its WRC debut in 2004, Rally Japan has quickly become a popular fixture in the calendar, and one which attracts a huge number of dedicated fans from the host county.
Japan and rallying are almost intrinsically linked, with Japanese manufacturers such as Toyota, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Mazda, Nissan and, perhaps most notably, Subaru all having tasted success in the sport. The Japanese rally fans, as with most sports, are loyal, knowledgeable and extremely enthusiastic.
The rally is based on Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan's islands, and from 2004 to 2007 used the twisty, narrow and soft gravel stages of the Tokachi region, close to the city of Obihiro.
For the most recent edition in 2008, however, the event moved to a new base in the city of Sapporo, Hokkaido's main city, and a selection of brand new gravel stages in the surrounding countryside and forests. It also featured one of the most spectacular Super Specials of the year; which ran inside and outside the futuristic looking Sapporo Dome sports stadium.
Rally Japan returns to the WRC calendar this year after a year out in 2009 in accordance with the FIA's event rotation system.
Rally Headquarters and the Super Special remain at the Sapporo Dome, but the Service Park has moved to a new location three kilometres away.

Vegetative Boosters
Vegetative growth begins from the moment your plants start to sprout roots and continues right up until early flowering. During this period your aim is to "fine tune the engine" of each individual plant so that they can cope with a highly demanding final few weeks of explosive growth. Initial concerns should be directed towards your roots and the laying of strong foundations for future development. Here we have an amazing array of products that encourage your plants to perform very specific and incredibly useful functions - whether it be breaking down old and damaged root mass, building a protective barrier against disease or promoting efficient nutrient transportation! When roots are firmly established your attention should turn to strengthening stems and leaves, increasing plant material and achieving vigorous growth by all means possible. Again you will find an ever-expanding list of excellent products in this area, from the industry's very biggest names - including Vita Link, Bloom and Plagron. Carefully tailoring your mix of additives during the vegetative stage will have a direct impact upon final yields, and we just can't stress enough how important it is to see your plants enter flowering in the best condition possible. For further advice on vegetative boosters, visit one of our stores or call 0845 345 5178 and speak to an expert advisor at GroWell.
