I'd like to use the freeform drawing tool to mark up PDFs on my tablet, but I'm having a problem with drawing accuracy. For some reason Acrobat takes a split second to recognize that the user is drawing after putting the pen down. For example, rapidly drawing a large circle will produce a straight line from the initial contact point to a point that is something like 20 percent along the circle outline. This makes drawing and writing pretty much impossible.
Is there a setting that I can toggle to improve accuracy / response time? For reference, the Evermap Autoink add-in produces smooth and pressure sensitive annotations within Acrobat, so it's not a problem with my machine.
Alternatives exist, but are not cheap or have issues:
- iAnnotate PDF: near perfect but turns annotations into bitmaps
- PDF Revu is rather expensive
- AutoInk works, but does not allow the user to define custom pens beyond customizing the included 3 or 4 pens
- Acrobat X (10.1.2)
- Win7 X64 Ultimate
- Lenovo X220 tablet, core i7, pen + touch
As of now, Acrobat X does not officially support touch based input. However, Adobe plans to address the issue in a future release.
Thanks, good to hear, but not exactly what I meant. The problem I desribe involves the use of a tablet pen (Wacom based). There is a recurring 'hiccup' after initially putting the pen down before Acrobat starts tracking the pen/pointer position, leading to kinks and missing sections in the annotations. PDF Annotator, AutoInk, and OneNote all track the pen just fine, so there seems to be an Acrobat specific problem relating to the annotation tool.
Is there anyone that is able to write smooth text with Acrobat X, and if so, on which operating system and using which hardware and software settings?
I'm facing the same problem - and same tablet too! The best that I have been able ot find is autoink by evermap. It does have limited pen styles, but it is almost perfect other than that. As you know, there is some flexibility in the pen seection, and it does not bloat acrobat or casue crashes as far as I can tell.
But I am eagerly watching your thread here to see if anyone else has found anything...
Agreed, AutoInk is pretty good. In the end I coughed up the money for Grahl's PDF Annotator because I like having a full-screen mode with a toolbar for favorite pens. It's pretty crazy that Adobe can't make this work though. I'm hoping Aditya will chime in once more. He's an actual Adobe employee, so maybe he can figure out the origin of this problem.
Edit: PDF Annotator is $30 for students, so that's a pretty affordable workaround. Short link: goo.gl/wmWl4
Try FoxIt Reader, for annotations. Their pen mode isn't exactly perfect, but it picks up more points than Acrobat.
This is completely unacceptable behavior. I've been a registered Acrobat user since version 4.0 and X is the first version that will not work with my Wacom Intuos 2 tablet. There is the a time lag to start each stroke that didn't exist in 9, 8, 7, or 6 (far back as I can remember). And it just gets worse if you pick up the pen and drop it again to draw another letter or shape. The lag each time creates bizarre artifacts, straight lines, etc. I have no plans after spending $600 to upgrade to Design Premium CS5.5 to buy an add-on program to fix something that Adobe broke since version 9.0. I will try to revert to version 9 for my workflow unless there is an iminent fix by Adobe for this bug.
That's helpful info, thanks. You're the first person I've heard mention that this did work at some point (before version X). I'm hoping that an Adobe engineer will spot this thread, figure out what changed between versions 9 and X, and come up with a patch.
Upon further investigation, here's a possible fix (please let me know if it works for anyone else): While the Wacom tablets' freeform drawing tool (pen or pencil icon) did work perfectly before Acrobat X, there is a newer Wacom driver on their website at least for my Intuos 2, driver 6.2.0w5 dated 1/12/2012. After installing this driver and rebooting, the tool appears to be working again (very preliminary testing, but so far!!). The previous driver is not much older, driver 6.1.7-3 from 9/13/2011 and while that one worked fine in Acrobat 9 it does not work for me in X.
Good news, let us know whether it's a real solution for the Intuos 2. If another forum member finds a driver that resolves this issue for the X220t, please post here.
I tried this with A9 and AX on a HP tablet. I could see that the issue exists in both the versions if you try to draw fast using a pen.
Parris37: Did it work for you in Acrobat versions prior to X on the same tablet where you see issues with AX?
pgk2011, Parris37: You may want to file a bug/feature request for fixing this in next Acrobat release.
Yes, I am now back to smooth drawing with the Free Form Pen/Pencil tool in Acrobat using the January 2012 driver. This with my aged Intuos 2 tablet. It was not the case with the earlier September 2011 driver, even though that driver did work fine in Acrobat 9. Since Wacom could fix this with a driver update, I hesitate to log it as being a bug with Acrobat X; it's possible Wacom's earlier driver didn't account for some behavior that got exposed for the first time in Acrobat X. If it were truly an Acrobat X bug I wouldn't think Wacom could have fixed it in a new driver release. I do think Acrobat X does something differently than previous versions and that is tripping up some of the older drivers... added to the interface changes in X that I don't like, I'd personally have been happier upgrading to CS5.5 and keeping Acrobat 9 with its interface and lack of any driver issues, but time marches on ...
Hi AmbooS.
This problem seems to occur on Acrobat and Windows. I've had the problem using Acrobat X as well as 9 and on Windows 7 as well as XP.
By contrast, I've not had any problems using the pen on Acrobat in OS X.
Also, the problem persists whether it's Intuous or Bamboo.
Downloading a 2012 driver for Bamboo didn't seem to help in my case, so I'm open to other suggestions.

Brenda Hall, principal of the school said she applied for a $2,400 grant from Coosa Valley Resource Conservation and Development Council over the summer to help purchase the tablets. She was awarded the grant in August and used it along with $1,390 donated by the school's Parent Teacher Organization to purchase 10 iPads for the school's classrooms.
The system used federal funds to purchase 10 iPads last school year, Hall said.
In addition several teachers used their state-funded classroom supply money to buy iPads for their classrooms, she added. In all, the school now has 30 iPads to distribute throughout the 19 classrooms.
Eventually, Hall hopes to have enough tablets for every student, but that isn't something that's going to happen this year, she said.
The iPads provide the students with learning that's fun, and the tablets are often easier for young children to use than laptops, Hall said.
"The more iPads we have the more students will have hands-on learning," Hall said.
Kindergarten teacher LeAnne Hornsby has three iPads in her classroom. She received one last year for attending a course on using the tablets in the classroom taught by the system's then technology director, Hornsby said. She received two more this year, Hornsby said. This year, her 16 students will share the tablets, Hornsby said.
Right now, she said, the students are using them for remediation. For instance she has a couple of students who need some extra help learning their letters.
"I pull them over for an extra dose of what we're learning," Hornsby said.
But she said as the year progresses, the students will be able to use the iPads for things like counting games, math games, reading games and stories, she said.
"I'm still trying to find out how I want to use them," Hornsby said. The teachers are all learning together, she added.
They'll recommend apps, the iPad equivalent of programs, to each other when they find a good one.
Wednesday, Hornsby was using the tablets to test students' proficiency in reading. Two children were playing word games on one tablet. One was working on letter identification on the second, and one student was spelling words with the help of the third iPad.
It's fun the students all agreed. One liked the iPad because it talked to her. Another liked learning to read words and a third just said using the iPad was like playing games.
It gives the students a different way to learn, Hornsby said.
"It's not all paper and pencil ... it's colorful," Hornsby said. "It gives them instant recognition when they get it right."

Glow stick
From Openwaterpedia
noun - A glow stick is a self-contained, short-term light source used by channel swimmers and marathon swimmers who attempt open water swims during low-visibility conditions, the dark or nighttime hours or navigational and safety purposes. Glow sticks are available in a wide variety of colors and consists of a translucent plastic tube containing isolated substances that make light through chemiluminescence. The glow sticks do not require an external energy source, but the light cannot be turned off and can be used only once.
Glow sticks are worn not only by the swimmer, but also by their kayakers and paddlers on channel swims. The coach recommended using the green-colored glow sticks during his channel attempt.
Chemical Light, safety glow stick

Wednesday, March 27, 2013
Yesterday, federal, state and local officials helped Port of Long Beach, Calif., executives break ground on the $83.5 million Green Port Gateway Rail Project.
Slated for completion in July 2014, the project calls for building six miles of new track, realigning tracks near Ocean Boulevard and creating a new Pier F rail support yard that will support the future Middle Harbor terminal. To be completed in 2019, the $1.2 billion Middle Harbor project involves the conversion of two aging terminals into one large terminal designed to handle more than 2 million additional containers.
The Green Port Gateway Rail Project will improve a rail connection between the Port of Long Beach and Alameda Corridor, eliminate a bottleneck, improve safety and reduce truck trips on local roads by 2.3 million annually, according to federal and port officials. The project — which will be funded in part by a $17 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery III grant — has an estimated economic impact of $400 million.
"Efficient trade requires up-to-date infrastructure for stability and growth. With these improvements, we've greatly improved port infrastructure and our ability to export American products overseas," said U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administrator David Matsuda in a prepared statement. "Projects like this one will help us achieve President Obama's goal of doubling our nation's exports by 2015."
Groundbreaking ceremony attendees also included U.S. Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-Calif.), Long Beach Mayor Bob Foster, California Transportation Commissioner Fran Inman and Port of Long Beach Executive Director J. Christopher Lytle.
Projects such as the Green Port Gateway rail initiative "will help us maintain our competitive edge as we enter the era of big ships and more cargo," said Lytle.
The Green Port Gateway is the first of four rail construction projects under way or scheduled to begin over the next year to enhance on-dock rail operations at the port. The project also is part of the San Pedro Bay Ports Rail Enhancement Program, which includes work proposed by the Port of Los Angeles and Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority.

I am writing this letter to vent my frustration over a news segment I was watching on TV right before the election on which Ann Coulter called President Obama a retard, not once but twice. I was totally blown away. I am so tired of the Ann Coulters, Glen Becks, and Rush Limbaughs being able to completely humiliate and degrade anyone they please without having to account for their disrespecting mouths. The other people on the show with her all laughed and thought it was so cute. How dare they.
We are deeply offended as my husband, Pete, and I have been blessed with four great grandchildren. We are extremely proud of our third child, Connie, who is an exceptionally smart and beautiful daughter with Down Syndrome. She just turned 50 this summer. She is the light of our lives and is so precious to us. Her heart is as big as the world and she would never intentionally hurt anyone.
Ann should come and spend a day with Connie because Connie could issue her a college degree on how to treat people. Ann, you might actually learn something instead of just thinking you know it all. Connie has more common sense in her little finger than you have in your whole body, Ann.
Where are our values going? Where are the producers of these programs who allow this horrible behavior to go on? I hope that in writing this, people will think of other's feelings before they actually say such hurtful things like this. I just really feel the need to stand up for all of our special people.
Thank you for allowing me to express this. It's made me feel much better.

Tom Knight sounded calm. The world around him was turning upside-down with the arrival of Big East rival Louisville and ESPN's College GameDay on Saturday night on the Notre Dame campus, but he didn't seem to be buying into the hype.
Tom Knight had to await his turn at Notre Dame, and that included stretches of disappointment when he wasn't playing. But now, with an injury to a starter, he's gotten his chance to show what he can do, like he did as a Maine high school player.
Matt Cashore photo
Big game between No. 11 Louisville, coached by Rick Pitino, and No. 25 Notre Dame. Big crowd expected in Purcell Pavilion, big national audience watching the ESPN telecast.
But Knight's brief answers to a few questions before Thursday's practice returned to the same mantra: work hard, play hard and everything should fall into place.
To many people back in Dixfield, he's still the same small-town boy who graduated from Dirigo High. Still the 6-foot-10 teenager with the easy grin who had to lower his head when he walked into classrooms.
To others, Tom Knight is the 21-year-old man who's allowed disappointment to shape his young life, understanding he's better for it. If some wanted to give up on him when he sat on the Notre Dame bench for long stretches, that was their problem. It wasn't his.
The third-year player has started in four straight games -- not counting Saturday night -- for the first time in his college career. An injury to Scott Martin several weeks ago opened the door. Knight responded immediately with 17 points and hit 8 of 10 shots from the floor while grabbing seven rebounds in a win against South Florida.
A 10-point, four-rebound game followed in another win over Villanova. There was a six-point, seven-rebound performance at DePaul in an overtime win last Saturday.
Then came Tuesday's loss to Syracuse. Knight was 1 of 8 from the floor in a game where most in the Notre Dame lineup struggled against Syracuse's zone defense.
In Dixfield and other western Maine communities along the Androscoggin River, like Rumford, Jay and Livermore Falls, Knight's effort has not gone unnoticed. His family, friends and fans have context. At the start of the season, Knight wasn't playing at all.
"You die a little each day you're not playing," said Karl Knight, Tom's father and a pretty good player at Bowdoin College in his day. "Notre Dame stacks big men like cordwood. You have to believe it's all part of the plan."
In November, Notre Dame went to New York for the four-team Coaches vs. Cancer Classic at the new Barclays Center, home to the Brooklyn Nets of the NBA. The little kid in Tom Knight anticipated playing in the newly built arena.
"He never got off the bench for either game," said Karl Knight. "It was the low of the lows."
Back in South Bend, Ind., Knight resumed his practice regimen. He was the unofficial captain of the second team, talking it up in practice, working on his game. There was something contagious about his attitude.
"All I can do is my best and stay positive," said Tom Knight. "You have to believe in yourself."
After Notre Dame beat Villanova, Karl Knight learned his son's name was included in the morning announcements at Dirigo Middle School, congratulating him on his contributions. Like much of small-town Maine, there's always a need for examples. Too many young Mainers don't know how to reach for what's just beyond their grasp.
"I remember how exciting it was when Andy Bedard (from neighboring Rumford) was playing basketball at Boston College and UMaine, and when T.J. Caouette (Winthrop) was playing at Villanova," said Karl Knight. "(They) played basketball before many of the current (high school) players were born, but they had an impact on motivating some Maine kids to set high goals."
Tom Knight heard his older brother, Kevin, tell stories about Bedard and Caouette. "I guess my example was Nik Caner-Medley."

Google is the fifth and final company profiled as part of our in-depth "American Titans" series.
It is synonymous with search. It is both a noun and a verb. And, it has revolutionized the Internet. Google got its start as a 1996 research project by a pair of Stanford PhD students, Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
Two years later, it was incorporated in their friend's garage. And in 1999, Google received $25 million in funding from Silicon Valley venture capital firms. The company's 2004 IPO was amazingly successful, selling shares in a unique Dutch auction process; it gave Google a $23 billion market capitalization.
Google's stock hit $700 a share in October, 2007, the same month the Dow reached its all-time high (although Google trades on the Nasdaq).
The company has become much more than a search engine, introducing many new products, such as Google Maps, Google News, and Gmail. As part of its expansion, Google has acquired other businesses, including YouTube, DoubleClick, and most recently, AdMob (subject to regulatory approval).
What follows are some facts and figures about this "American Titan."

My wife had our carpets cleaned and I was so impressed with the way they looked after the technicians were finished. My wife is kind of a clean freak so I figured the professional cleaning wouldn't make that much of a difference but I was definitely proven wrong. I couldn't believe the change when I got home from work that day. She also said that this company was true gem to work with. Appointment scheduling was a breeze, the technicians were prompt and very courteous. We will absolutely be using Charlotte Carpet Cleaning again in the near future.
I'm so happy I finally gave in and called Charlotte Carpet Cleaning. I had been wanting to have the carpets professionally cleaned for some time but felt guilty spending the money on something that I didn't actually need. Once I ran across a special that they were offering I got on the phone and book an appointment. I knew the carpets would look better than before but I wasn't quite expecting them to look brand new! Their technicians were great, they showed up on time, they were very friendly and diligently worked the whole time they were here! I will be using them in the future especially if they run this particular budget friendly special again!
The folks at Charlotte Carpet Cleaning do an incredible job. I originally planned on them cleaning my living room, but when I saw what a great job they did and how my carpet colors came to life, I couldn't help but ask them clean my other two rooms that same day! They took their time and went over my high traffic areas until they looked just as good as the rest! Amazing job, I will be calling Charlotte Carpet Cleaning again and again!
I had been wanting to get my carpets professional cleaned forever but could never get myself to spend that kind of money on something that I thought I could do myself. Then I saw Charlotte Carpet Cleaning Services ad in a local paper and I knew it was a great deal so I went for it! I am so happy I did! They were able to remove a ketchup stain that I had covered with a throw rug months ago. Thanks to Charlotte Carpet Cleaning Services the bar has been set much higher when it comes to carpet cleaning. I now know that I wasn't getting the job done myself and will definitely be calling them again!
I have owned my own steam cleaner for years and religiously steam cleaned my carpets every other week. The day before my in-laws were due to arrive my steam cleaner quit on me. Out of desperation I had Charlotte Carpet Cleaning Services come to clean my carpets. I was more than happy with their customer service and quality of work. They were able to remove a stain that I had been dealing with for months! Thank you Charlotte Carpet Cleaning, I believe I'll put off buying a replacement steam cleaner and have them come again. They saved me a lot of work and the carpets look fantastic!
After dealing with careless tenants who allowed their dogs to destroy the carpet in our rental property, I was sure the carpet would have to be replaced. As a last stitch effort to avoid the cost of new carpet I gave Carpet Cleaning Charlotte a call. I am happy to report that not only do we have cleaner carpet, we have new tenants who asked if the carpet had recently been replaced because of its cleanliness and fresh scent. Thank you Carpet Cleaning Charlotte, you have earned a repeat customer!
Came on time and did a great job. Will use them again. Mark and Daniel were very courteous.
EXCELLANT SERVICE!!!! I searched so many carpet cleaning companys and decided upon Charlotte Carpet Cleaning. I just got a home that had very dirty carpet and was worried that it would not be up to my standard of cleanliness. Mark and Louis from CCC were able to bring my carpet back to life! They were very pleasant and took their time in order to do the job right. They explained everything they were doing and how I needed to take care of my carpet. I was painting during the time they were cleaning my carpet and when I came to take a look at my carpet I could not believe that my carpet could look that amazing!!!! I am very happy that I had there help and chose CCC to clean my carpet. I am very sure that now my daughter can be safe to crawl and take her first steps in our new home. Thanks Mark and Louis you guys really made this Mommy happy!!!
We had Charlotte Carpet Cleaners clean the carpets in two of our rental houses. We thought the carpets might need to be replaced but they were able to make our carpets look new again and saved us a costly carpet replacement. The carpets went from nasty and crusty, to alive and vibrant. I never thought that the results that Charlotte Carpet Cleaners was able to achieve were even possible. Thank you for all of the help Guys!
I really feel like Charlotte Carpet Cleaners cared about my carpets and providing a quality service. My carpet and upholstery were dry before I knew it! These guys are amazing.

Seattle >Food & Dining > Red Mill Burgers
312 N 67th St, Seattle, WA | Directions 9810347.677882 -122.354775
Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sunday noon-8 p.m.; closed Monday
Neighborhoods: Northwest Seattle, Phinney Ridge, Northwest
piles and piles of bacon! be prepared for a line, it's worth it!
Local institution with local beef. It's the verde beef or chicken burger with bacon that I crave. Worth the trip just for the bacon pile!
One of my favorite burgers – I like Red Mill's Double Bacon Cheeseburger alot. Thick crunchy bacon, salty cheesey meat patties contrasted with juicy sweet tomatoes and crunchy lettuce. Then the special Red Mill sauce hits your taste buds - it's a kind of smoky mayo. And the onions. The fresh bun is toasted and it's crunchy too. Juicy. Crunchy. Sweet. Savory. Salty. Mmmm . . Mmmm!! It's not gourmet, it's just a classic American burger that beats most in the city of Seattle. The onion and fries are reliably hot and crispy. Ask for a side of Red Mill sauce to dip the fries in - just like they do in Belgium.
Best Seattle burger, onion rings, & vanilla shake – If I want a burger and have time to drive to Red Mill, this is where I'm going.
Onion rings were a wee overdone, but still quite flavorful and I would recommend them. The vanilla shake was perfection.
I thought Red Mill surpassed In-N-Out in CA. It's a close call between Red Mill in Seattle and the Cherry Cricket in Denver (featured on Man vs Food).
5 star burger, onion rings, and shake (didn't have to wait too long either, even though it was packed on a weekend).
Does anyone in Seattle know what a good burger is? – I am originally from eastern Washington, The only thing I miss from that side of the state is the burgers. Just because it comes on a fancy bun with unusual toppings doesn't make it a good burger. I had driven by Red Mill a few times and saw the long line leading out the door. I figured if people were willing to wait it must good. While it wasn't horrible it was not worth the wait. The worst thing about the place is the veggie burgers. My boyfriend had the worst gas ever after eating one. I say go to Dick's and save yourself the money and gas.
Creative burgers, good quality – I saw this on the food network and knew that i had to try it. They have a nice menu, with lots of good burger choices. I got the one with roasted peppers on it, which were really very delicious. I opted not to go for the house made smokey mayonaise, which may be one of the reasons I thought it was lacking in flavor so its kind of my own fault. My boyfriend really enjoyed his bleu cheese burger. I felt that they used a high quality of food here, nice buns, fresh veggies etc. Some people complained about the parking but come on dude, its Seattle. Parking sucks everywhere. I had no problem parking anyways. I say eat here! Its tasty and cute!
Really a greasy spoon – I am amazed at the good reviews of this greasy spoon.The meat is low grade,cooked on a flat grill in a kitchen that looks dirty.The burger comes out so greasy it is terrible.I don't understand what anyone sees that is good in this place.I would never return again
Okay food. Very very bad parking. – So I got curious about all the fuss about this place and gave it a try. Burgers were okay not really great as many people seem to think. Parking lot was way too small for the size of the restaurant and the usual crowd they seem to expect. I really don't see any good reason for a restaurant to not have an adequate parking space other than trying to brag about the long lines of cars waiting to get in. I'm definitely not coming back.
Food for cool people – I was telling a friend how awful this place was and remembered this website so here I am. I used to eat at Red Mill a lot when I first bought a car and had a small income, but now that I'm older I realize how badly we were treated at the time. There has never been a restaurant of any variety that had more contempt for its customers. - credit cards not accepted - 'no cell phones' signs - long lines, long wait - very little seating - order was constantly recorded wrong - inconsistant quality. We finally stopped going there when on one occasion they messed up our order and the burgers came out very bland and we didn't want another meal ruined, but my later experiences have taught me that I gave that place way too many chances. If I had to guess at the root of the problem I'd say it's that they don't need the business, they hire based on looks and they are constantly busy. I've grown out of making burger joints a dining destination so I can't really name alternatives. I like Coastal Kitchen's burger.
We Keep Coming Back! – There's a reason why Red Mill is bantered about whenever folks are discussing the best burgers in Seattle. Their burgers are consistently great, and that is the reason we keep coming back.
Best... – Really, the best burgers in Seattle eaten sometimes at the dirtiest tables in Seattle. Nobody keeps an eye on cleaning where guests are eating.
Great burgers, not that kid-friendly! – I found Red Mill on the list of best family-friendly restaurants. Strange, I did not see a kid meal on the menu nor a junior type burger: plain. I spent $4.35? on a half-eaten cheeseburger for a 5 year old-not to mention a $2 soda. Don't get me wrong, I love the food, but kids don't want to wait in long lines for a table to open up and parents shouldn't have to pay so much to feed little ones. The Verde burger is delicious!

Carhartt® has been working hard for over a century to bring you the comfortable clothing with the toughness to stand up to the most demanding worksites. That tradition continues with this Henley.
6 3/4-oz., cotton jersey knit feels like a T-shirt, but the 3-button placket lets you keep it loose around the collar for a relaxed fit whether you're taking it easy or busting your butt on the job. Rib-knit collar and cuffs along with side-seamed construction earn an "A" for durability.
Left chest pocket includes the famous Carhartt logo. A picky inspector labeled these as Slight Irregulars, but we can't see anything irregular except for the price.

After four straight games against high major caliber opponents, including two straight games against top five opponents, the Blue Devils will host a 2-5 Delaware looking to spring the upset of the season. Delaware enters Cameron Indoor on a four game losing steak which included a 26 point defeat at the hands of Pittsburgh.
"Going down there to play in Cameron Indoor Stadium, they won't have any trouble bouncing back." — Delaware coach Monte Ross on his team's mindset after losing to Lafayette.
"I've watched every possession of the season and I didn't see many I liked" - Delaware assistant coach Jeff Rafferty
"After playing at Cameron Indoor Stadium I don't know if playing at George Mason or Old Dominion will make us nervous, or at Drexel will make us nervous, going down the line." - Monte Ross.
Series Notes: This will be the second time the two programs have met. The previous game saw Duke come away with a 79-73 victory during the 1995 season. All three Duke assistant coaches - Jeff Capel, Chris Collins, and Steve Wojciechowski were playing in that game Collins led the trio with 16 points, Capel scored 15 points and dished out six assists, and Wojciechowski scored 10 points with two steals.
Perimeter game swells: The Blue Hens were averaging 12 three point attempts per game on the season before launching a season high 27 perimeter attempts against Lafayette. Eight of the 27 found their mark, but it wasn't enough as the Leopards' zone defense was enough to stifle the Blue Hens en route to a 16 point half time lead before holding off a late rally - fueled by the threes - to win 63-60. The best perimeter option for Delaware is sophomore Kyle Anderson who has taken 77.2 of his shots from behind the arc over the course of his college career. This season, however, Anderson has struggled from the perimeter hitting just 12 of 33 attempts compared to 4-of-10 on two point field goals.
Over the last 666 games, dating back to November of 1990, the Blue Hens have made at least one three pointer. Additionally, since the NCAA adopted the three point arc in 1986, the Blue Hens have made a long distance shot in all but five games.
Man in the middle: Duke has National Player of the Year candidate Mason Plumlee inside. Delaware has someone who is also producing on a big time level in the form of Jarnelle Hagins, a 6-foot-9 senior. Hagins is averaging 13.0 points and 13.4 rebounds while shooting nearly 64 percent from the floor. Over the last two games, Hagins has been incredible for Delaware, hitting for 29 and 12 against Temple and then 18 points and 23 rebounds against Lafayette. Hagins is a preseason all-CAA honoree, and has registered five games with 12 rebounds or more, and has recorded at least seven boards in each of the Blue Hens' games. On the season Hagins is third in the NCAA with 13.4 rebounds per game, and is tied for second in the nation with five double-doubles in seven games. If you put the big guy on the line, it's likely as good as a basket as the senior is shooting 89.5 percent from the charity stripe this season.
Defense faltering: The Blue Hens have struggled at times with the defensive end of the court. That was most evident in the back to back games against Pitt and Temple when Delaware allowed 165 points over those two games. It was the first time the program had allowed 80 points in back to back games in more than three years. The Panthers hit 85 points thanks to shooting 59 percent from the floor while the Owls hit 48 percent.
Top option: The Blue Hens' leading scorer is 6-foot-2 junior guard, Devon Saddler who is scoring at a 21.4 point per game clip. Entering the game against Duke, Saddler is the reigning CAA Player of the week following a three game performance that saw him average 28.3 points over Thanksgiving week. Saddler not only scored a lot, he scored efficiently, hitting 53 percent of his shots (and taking 20 shots per contest) and 88 percent from the line. On the season the junior is 18th in the country in points per game. He has scored in double figures in each of the seven games so far, and has topped 17 points in all but two contests.

Quick Arizona Trip for Opening Day
Thu, 04/4/13 12:59 AM
So.....made a quick 4 day trip over to AZ to see my St. Louis Cardinals on opening day. The trip was fun and I ate at a few good places. Here are some pictures of the food ;-)
Our first stop and last stop was at Teds. They serve up some great dogs. On this trip I decided to eat every dog they have excluding a veggie dog (not really a hot dog anyways) and a kiddie dog (I am not a kid...I am a large hungry man). First picture is a Polish, a white hot, a foot long and a corn dog. My wife ate the fries and I drank the loganberry shake. I did not enjoy this one as much as the second. The peppers and onions I got on the sausages made the bun soggy. I stuck with just mustard and onions on the second trip. 2nd picture is an Italian, a bratwurst, a regular dog and an all beef dog. We had some onion rings with that meal and I washed it down with another loganberry shake. I have had all these dogs before on separate occasions and have come to this conclusion. Avoid the foot long, the corn dog and the white hot. The foot long tastes different and the few times I have had it, the bun starts to fall apart and tasted stale. The corn dog is just your regular Foster Farms corndog you can buy at the grocery store. The white hot just doesn't have much flavor. The other sausages (The Italian is my favorite) and regular/all beef dogs are fantastic!
We ate at Grimaldis 3 separate times during our trip. We don't have great pizza here in San Diego. Grimaldis in Arizona is as good as you can get out West IMO. The first picture is a large pepperoni and garlic pie. The second picture is a personal sized pepperoni pizza from their lunch special/menu. The third picture is a personal sized meatball calzone from their lunch special/menu also. The lunch pictures were the best of the trip. The smaller pizzas really crisp up in the coal fired oven....the larger pizzas we had were a tad "gummy/soggy" in the middle of some pieces. The meatball calzone was awesome! I would definitely get it again.
We had excellent BBQ at Rudys BBQ in Chandler. I was very impressed! We got a ton of food but we sat inside and my pictures turned out bad. This first picture is of their pork spareribs. They look burnt but they weren't. They had a great crust and were delicious! The second picture is of smoked turkey. It was really good. We also ordered some baby back ribs (awesome), brisket (awesome), chicken (not that good), a baked potato with brisket (huge and awesome), and some creamed corn (just ok). This was some legit BBQ though. Smoke rings throughout and I didn't even have to put a drop of sauce on it....ate it plain and let the meat shine through. I wish we had come back again but we didn't have enough time.
Had some donuts from this place called Bosa donuts. I would grab my coffee from Dunkin Donuts and then drive down here (all within a mile of each other) and get some donuts. Pictured is a chocolate raised, a crumb, a glazed and a chocolate covered buttermilk bar. The buttermilk bar may have been the best donut I have ever had. We have a place in SD called Marys Donuts which are excellent IMO. This buttermilk bar was better than any donut I ever got at Marys. I returned twice more for the same donut. It was that good!
My wife is not a big fan of sushi because of the fish. She had it one time with chicken and loved it. She saw this place called "How do you roll?" on Shark Tank one night. She found out they make sushi with chicken so she wanted to try it. This place is like a Subway of sushi. You tell them what you want in it, they assemble it down the line, cut it up and hand it to you. Pretty cool concept. Pictured is my roll which consisted of seaweed paper, white rice, shrimp, avocado, green onion and jalapeno. I had some sweet chili sauce on the side. I was impressed. It was good! My wife loved her chicken roll too. I think it was her favorite thing she ate all trip.
Stopped at a place called Lucky Boy Burgers in Phoenix. Been there since 1951. Little burger joint. It was alright. Not great but it filled my burger fix. Pictured is a double Lucky Boy burger and fries. I also had a chocolate shake. I don't know if I would return but it was alright in a pinch.
Never been to a Whataburger before so I decided to stop by. I was happy with my burger. I got a double burger with cheese and a vanilla shake. The burger was larger than I expected and I thought it was delicious. The shake was a little "icy"...wouldn't get one again.
We went to Lo Los Chicken and Waffles for breakfast one morning. Pictured is a number 5. Sheedahs Special. It was one waffle, one breast and one wing. My wife got the same thing. We also got some collards (not that good). The chicken was great, the waffle a tad soft. Still good but I prefer a crisp/crunch to my waffles. They also have Kool Aid on tap. I got a large red one and they give it to you in a huge mason jar. It was super sweet but I dug it. Definitely a good meal and I would come back in a heartbeat.
Well.....thats about it. We ate some good food and got to see two baseball games. Cardinals lost the first one but they won last night. It made it a fitting end to a great short little trip.

Nice report!
Too bad the dogs didn't live up to their pics--they looked awesome.
I loved Grimaldi's when I was there for spring training a couple of years ago.
Lo-Lo's is great! My tip for waffles is to always ask for extra crispy. It works most of the time.
My Giants will be playing your Cards this weekend!

Nice report Strongy!
I don't think I ever had the french fries at Ted's (Buffalo). I love the onion rings. They are some of the best onion rings...ever.

When I looked at the pictures, I thought, "Those look like Ted's. But where did the corn dog come from?" I don't recall seeing them at the Ted's locations around here. Good report.

Good Job Strongy. You hit some good spots! Which LoLo's did you go to? The one by the ballpark? If so, did you notice the old yellow house behind the restaurant? That's the original location.
I'm a big Teds fan and I wish you had taken a picture of the onion rings so the folks could have seen them. They're made fresh from scratch every day. My Favorite.
The White Hot is meant to be a mild sausage. It's made with veal and imported from Buffalo as all the tubes of meat are. The corn dog is mainly there for the kiddies.
I just found Rudy's a couple weeks ago myself. It's near my office. and I have to fight off the temptatrion to go there every day for Lunch. As you found out, it's outstanding. Did you happen to see the pallets of logs out back? They use real wood logs, not pellets or chips to smoke their meats.
Bosa's is locally owned. They only had one store for quite a while but have expanded recently.
Now that we see how you roll food-wise, next trip over, you need to put The Fry Bread House, Carolina's Mexican, Mrs. Whites' Golden Rule and The Chuckbox on your list.

I have a How Do You Roll on my corner. I can walk there! Next time you're in a sushi place tell your wife to order a tamago roll. Inside instead of fish is a sweet omelet. Unless of course she doesn't like eggs.
Isn't that assembly line amazing? You really take great pictures.

Really nice report
! Thanks so much for taking the time to post it. Love
! I was surprised to find out last year from a manager at the Tonawanda, NY location that they use a completely different type of wiener for the foot long.

That cliff jumping looks fun, but they don't show anyone doing the climb after every jump to get back to the top!
Survey Says
Athlon Sports recently sought the opinions of a Major League Baseball players (more than a fifth of the league participated) on a variety of subjects. In what is hardly a surprising development, Kate Upton was named the Hottest Woman Alive. In what has to be considered bad news for the MLB WAGs out there, only 7.8 percent of the players think that 100 percent of the married guys are faithful. That must be why most players wouldn't want their daughters to date a major league player (23.5 percent, to be exact).

One of the most outspoken athletes in sports, Raiders punter Chris Kluwe, has written a book that will be available on Tuesday. Beautifully Unique Sparkleponies: On Myths, Morons, Free Speech, Football, and Assorted Absurdities (yes, that is the title) has very little football in it. Most of the book focuses on Kluwe's pet peeves and opinions on controversial issues and societal observations. (He does have a chapter on what his day is like as an NFL punter, and it's one of the book's highlights.) We discussed all of these things on a new Hot Clicks Podcast, which you can listen to the podcast below, download it on iTunes or download it to your mp3 player.

The Weekend Playlist By Tom Mantzouranis
Today, I'm using the playlist to pay tribute to two people, for very different reasons: James Gandolfini and Nick Zaccardi.
You already know that Jimmy loves The Sopranos, and he honored Gandolfini beautifully yesterday. What you may not know is that I'm also a superfan of the show (as a northern New Jersey native who grew up in all the same towns the show was shot in, I can proudly drive the exact route Tony takes in the show's opener). Seeing as how the show made excellent use of its music, the first nine songs in this week's playlist are from memorable Tony Soprano moments, with some bonus thoughts from me. RIP big man, we miss you.
As for Zaccardi, he's leaving SI this week, and he'll be missed. So I asked him, as part of his goodbye, to pick a song to close out the playlist. He happily obliged.
As always, click any of the song links to listen, or you can just subscribe to the Hot Clicks Nation playlist on Spotify. Every Friday, the playlist will automatically change to that week's selections, so the new music will come to you. Let me (Tom Mantzouranis) know on Twitter what you like and what you do not. (Warning: NSFW language in some songs.)
The Kinks, "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" — The perfect song for Tony Soprano, in both attitude and lyrics. "I won't take all that they hand me down, and make out a smile though I wear a frown. And I won't take it all lying down, 'cause once I get started I go to town," the first verse goes. In Season 5′s "Cold Cuts," Tony is jealous and bitter than his sister Janice seems to be happy and he isn't. So, of course, he pushes and pushes her in front of her family until she snaps. He's satisfied with his work.
The Chi-Lites, "Oh Girl" — Another example of Tony not being able to stand other people's happiness if he can't have it too. He's already given Assemblyman Zellman permission to date his former Russian mistress Irena. Then he hears this song in his car, gets sentimental, cries, drives to Zellman's house and beats him with a belt in front of her.
The Rolling Stones, "Thru and Thru" – This one closes out Season 2. Tony and his two families — biological and professional — joyously celebrate Meadow's high school graduation. As the group smiles and takes photos together, the happiness is contrasted by shots of Davey Scatino, the childhood friend of Tony's who gets too deep in debt to the man and sees his life fall apart because of it. Tony Soprano was a man who did despicable things to protect and provide for his family, this montage makes that plain to see.
Van Morrison, "Glad Tidings" — The climax of my favorite season, Tony realizes what he needs to do with insubordinate cousin Tony Blundetto toward the end of Season 5′s "All Due Respect," and goes to where Blundetto's hiding, killing him to prevent a brewing war with New York in one of the character's signature moments. The best part? A lyric in the song played right before Blundetto is shot goes "…and we'll send you glad tidings from New York."
Otis Redding, "My Lover's Prayer" — The song opens and closes Season 2′s "My Lover's Prayer," first during a scene featuring Christopher clinging to life in a hospital after a gunshot wound, and later with Tony and Carmella in bed, making up after a fight and discussing possibly having a third child. Another example of the show tying Tony's two worlds together.
Tindersticks, "Tiny Tears" — Another signature Tony Soprano moment. Tony's in a funk in Season 1′s "Isabella," but he's about to be snapped out of it thanks to an attempted hit planned by Uncle Junior and his mother. This song plays as he walks back to his car with a bottle of orange juice and newspaper. Tony emerged from the attempt with his life, but the orange juice — and two hit men — weren't so lucky. A ridiculously badass scene.
Dion & The Belmonts, "I Wonder Why" — The first great Tony Soprano music moment. In the series' pilot, this song plays over the very first time we see Tony "at work" — and Christopher come across a man who owes them money, and gruesomely beat him over this bouncy, energetic song.
Bruce Springsteen, "State Trooper" — The song that closes out the first season plays as Tony, Carmella and the kids take shelter from a wicked storm to eat a meal at the infamous Vesuvio's. He's just survived that hit, and since learned who was responsible for it. In a place, with people he feels safe with, Tony tells his kids to remember the times that were good. A.J. Reminds him of that years later, at a booth in Holsten's, right before the show cut to black for good.
Frank Sinatra, "Baubles, Bangles and Beads" — In a fever dream, Tony has the realization that best friend Big Pussy is a rat, and takes him out on a boat with Paulie and Silvio to fix that problem. This is the song that plays as the four have a final drink before Tony puts a bullet in Puss, the climax of the show's first two seasons and an event that would haunt Tony into the future.
The Verve, "Lucky Man" — So long, Nick. Stay in touch.
She is wonderful to look at.
With all due respect, Kate Upton is wearing a Yankees hat in the photo, so that makes question some of her hotness. Also, the hottest woman in the world is Giada DeLaurentiis. Who would you rather have on a deserted island, DeLaurentiis or Upton? Which would do the better job of feeding you? Kate Upton could very well be in the top ten, but hottest? No. Salma Hayek, Giada, Jessica Alba, there are a few hotter than Kate Upton. Very few.
@John4 agreed. Kate is hot but not pretty. Giada is damn fine!!! And she could cook up something awesome every night lol.
@ITATTRACTS It attracts - nice to agree with you about something. That's cool. I get a kick out of the tools who pick their wife when asked what woman they would want to be stranded on an island with. Your wife instead of Giada? Uh, no.

Ticked Off!
January 3, 2013
I got a notice of violation in the mail saying that I ran a red light and the fine was $158.
I'm ticked off at my co-workers who are full grown adult men and women, are too inconsiderate or lazy to clean up after themselves in the coffee room, the lunch breakroom and especially the women's restroom.
I'm ticked off at my daughter who has a good paying job and drives an expensive car, couldn't come up with a better Xmas gift for her father than a $10 out-of-state college T-shirt. I wonder what she gave her mother (my ex) for Xmas? I guess it's still better than my buddy who got a box of pancake mix and a bottle of syrup from his daughter. Can you say "recycled gifts?"
Have you ever seen two people greet each other and they both ask the other one, "How are you?" at the same time? And then they both ignore the question and start talking. That's how stupid and time-wasting the question "How are you?" is. Nobody really cares to hear anything but the response, "fine" no matter what bad or good things are going on. Can you not think of a different greeting? It's just a conversation-filler, something to say just to say something. If everyone just ignored the mindless question when a receptionist or any stranger asks, people would stop blabbing "how are you?" like parrots, and then a conversation could start with "hello" and actually mean something.
What kind of person steals Christmas lights? Our neighborhood association (which is not mandatory) volunteered a lot of money and time decorating the entrance only to have some miserable people steal a lot of the lights, unplug others, and pull others across the road to be driven over. Too bad – next year there probably won't be any lights for all to enjoy.

Welcome to The Art Institute of Atlanta-Decatur, a branch of The Art Institute of Atlanta!
As a branch campus of The Art Institute of Atlanta, we are located in the city of Decatur on the east side of the greater Atlanta area. A short drive or MARTA ride from downtown Atlanta, in Decatur you'll find a traditional small-town atmosphere — and the sophistication and excitement of a college town — along with all the benefits of being right in the center of a major metropolis. Decatur has many unique shops, fashion boutiques, theatres, galleries, and businesses focused on creative industries and restaurants that range from casual to gourmet dining. Most attractions within walking distance from the college.
Founded in 1823, Decatur is proud of its history, much of which can be discovered at the Decatur Historical Society, located in the Old Courthouse on the Square right next to the college. A schedule of festivals, concerts, and special events fill the calendar each year. The annual Decatur Arts Festival and the Decatur Book Festival, featuring major authors as well as many other festivals and weekday and weekend concerts throughout the year, make Decatur a destination in Atlanta for many. These events are steps away from the campus.

Sheriff Larry Amerson said Sandra Lloyd, the mother of a Wellborn Elementary School student, told teachers that her son was receiving treatments for colon cancer.
Lloyd is charged with first-degree theft by deception, a felony, Amerson said.
He said Lloyd received donations from teachers and local businesses. The family was given gift cards, money, food and help with transportation for hospital visits to Memphis and Birmingham.
One local business even gave the family a van for a nominal fee, Amerson said.
"She would give people regular updates and would specify hospitals the child was receiving treatment from," he said.
On April 19, Lloyd was arrested on a charge of failure to appear in court on a traffic violation, Amerson said.
"That's when the story unraveled," he said.
A teacher contacted a family member of the boy and mentioned the child's treatment, Amerson said.
The relative did not know anything about the child having cancer, the sheriff said.
Amerson said today that his office was still investigating the incident. He added that Lloyd's current charges only involve the donated vehicle, and it's likely more counts of theft will be added.
Amerson said that on Monday he will meet with a group of people who donated money and items to Lloyd to discuss additional charges.
"It's certainly a sad situation where someone would lie and take advantage of someone's generosity," Amerson said.
Lloyd was in the Calhoun County Jail Friday evening on a $8,000 bond.

Cats aren't dogs, which is neither an indictment nor compliment. And those of us who are quasi-new cat owners would be well-served to read this story in today's Washington Post about domesticated cats and why they act like they do.
The best point, via The Post: "The most important social skill a cat must learn in order to become a pet is, of course, how to interact with people. Even at the earliest stage of domestication, cats needed humans to protect and feed them when mice were in short supply. The cats that thrived were those that were able to reward people with their company. Yet cats are not born attached to people. They are born with an inclination to trust people only during a brief period when they are tiny.
"Studies of dogs in the 1950s established the notion of a 'primary socialization period,' when puppies are especially sensitive to learning how to interact with people. For dogs, this is between 7 and 14 weeks of age. The concept also applies to cats, but it starts earlier. A kitten that is handled regularly between 4 and 8 weeks generally develops a powerful attraction to people. One that does not meet a human until 10 weeks or later is likely to fear people for the rest of its life."
