We're hosting Easter at our house. I like having Easter because it's a low-pressure holiday. (Edited: Previously I launched into gripe session about a company's screw up here, but they fixed it and made it right so I thought it was only fair to remove that bit.)
I'll make these scalloped potatoes again. They were fantastic last year and I'm so glad I thought to pin the recipe so I could find it again.
I think I'll try to do some flower arranging myself for table decorations. I'm a pretty sad flower arranger, but there is some great inspiration here.
Once again, the Canadians are kicking some American butt when it comes to design shows. Sarah Richardson's newest show "Sarah's Rental Cottage" airs next week in the great white north. I'm hoping I'll be able to catch it through the Hola IP extension because it could take years to end up on U.S. television. Of everything Sarah has done, I love her cottage the most so I'm very excited about this.
Here's a great guide to finding and surviving plant sales.
And here's a great guide to home essentials from Lauren Liess. Some inexpensive things, some luxury items and a lot of great stuff in between.
And lastly, my beloved Wisconsin Badgers take on the Kentucky whatevers Saturday night in the Final Four. If there was ever a team to love it's this group of fun-loving team players. I hope they can play the game of their lives to get past Kentucky.
Have an excellent weekend everyone!

Speaking Holden Caulfield's language
Although it's been 62 years since The Catcher in the Rye was first published, J.D. Salinger's seminal coming-of-age novel doesn't look a day over 16. What's often remarked about The Catcher in the Rye is how universal experience seeps out of a deeply subjective narrative. The story is told from Holden Caulfield's point-of-view, and so […]more
Jagged little words: the language of Alanis Morissette
If you had aspirations of being a disaffected youth in the mid-1990s, chances are you had a copy of Alanis Morissette's album Jagged Little Pill.

"It is a very mature soundarchitectural work of art, with its compositional and instrumental qualities being close in relation to the transforming power of the music of Bill Evans and his trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian, fifty years ago. Adventurous, new and highly exciting."(Jazzpodium)
"Pathbreaking in the European music landscape" (N. Krampf)
"Unique, individual, absorbing and touching, spreading its wings like an albatross, so closely calling from a far distance." (W. Kampmann)
"These melodies are of such compelling beauty, that they want to be heard again and again. And they are so catchy, that one believes to have known them for many years, exactly as if every sunrise emerged around these melodies." (Jazzthing)
"This music is provocative, demanding, and has depth and density of expression. It is sometimes edgy, uncomfortable and unconventional, with its convincing gesture refuting all the prevailing jazz dogmas and yet still flattering and enticing in power and beauty." (Jazzpodium)
"Over the last years the brothers Peter & Bernhard Meyer invented a sound without comparison, a sound that overrode all established concepts of jazz improvisation, alternative rock, modern classical music and ambient, but even surpassed all known syntheses, avantgardisms and overlappings. A sound that is far away from any crossover and that is pathbreaking in the european music landscape. In February 2018 two new projects will be presented:
The joint quartet by the Meyer brothers with Jim Black & Wanja Slavin: "Other Animal"
And "Murmuration", Bernhard`s first band as sole leader, a quintet feat. Claudio Puntin (Clarinette), Julius Heise (Vibraphon, Perc), Peter Meyer (Git) & Andi Haberl (Drums)."

Las Vegas, Nevada (PressExposure) March 17, 2012 -- Designer Dann Foley aka "Designer DANN" from Showtime's Real L Word has taken on another spectacular, yet unusual home. He's remodeling a 12,000 sq. ft home originally built by the late famous architect, Francis Rattenbury.
The new homeowners, who are philanthropists, have had DANN design other homes for them but this one is very special to them. They had a vision to keep the original woodwork and floor colors true to Rattenbury's vision, "Maintaining the original integrity of the architectural design and detailing has been of paramount importance since the early stages of design," said Foley. "My clients know I'll stand on my head to please them."
The house will be a showcase for guests to enjoy during charity events, all while serving as the primary residence for the owners. Each room will be designed for daily use, and bring together both comfort and luxury. The architecture itself and the sublime views require traditional style, but with DANN's guidance they are seeking a more continental flair. In true DANN style, there will be a mix of flavors, running the gambit from European antiques, to Asian touches, to American and Canadian craftsmen and artists. The remodel will be anchored with custom upholstery and a plethora of fabrics blended together in varietals of pattern, texture and thread.
Prior to the Victoria home, Foley designed the client's main house in Rancho Mirage, CA. See the photo below (right) and a before photo of Victoria, BC Family Room.

Surrey easily disposed of South Group leaders Hampshire to maintain their push for a quarter-final slot in the Friends Life t20.
Hampshire had lost just one of their previous 13 matches before they were bowled out for just 113 at the Oval, when chasing 152, to go down by the hefty margin of 38 runs.
Tom Maynard made 47 off 38 to fire Surrey up to 151-5 after at one stage slipping to 31-2, before former Hampshire seamer Chris Tremlett did most of the damage with the ball by taking four wickets against his old team.
The visitors just could not recover from losing their first four wickets for nine runs in four overs, three of them to their former team-mate and giant England seamer Tremlett.
Chasing a target of 152, Hampshire lost Jimmy Adams, caught behind off Yasir Arafat to the third ball of the innings and events went from bad to worse for the visitors in Tremlett's first two overs.
James Vince carved Tremlett to deep backward point where Dirk Nannes held a fine running catch, Neil McKenzie, who had already been dropped at fine leg off Nannes, was caught behind, and Sean Ervine slashed to Jason Roy at point.
Liam Dawson and Shahid Afridi, who had also been dropped in the covers off Nannes, saved Hampshire from a rout by putting on 51 in six overs for the fifth wicket.
But then Afridi, who had made 36 from 26 balls with four fours and a six, was caught in the covers off Zafar Ansari.
Dawson went on to make 26, but he lost Dimitri Mascarenhas when he was run out by Roy's magnificent pick-up and throw from long on, and was then run out himself in a dreadful mix-up with Dominic Cork.
Surrey had Maynard to thank for steering them to a total of 151-5.
Maynard went to the crease when Surrey were struggling at 31-2 and shared stands of 45 in five overs and 50 in six with Rory Hamilton-Brown and Zander de Bruyn respectively.
Roy and Steve Davies had both fallen to Mascarenhas, one caught at fine leg, the other caught behind, when Maynard drove his second ball from Mascarenhas back over the bowler's head and into the pavilion for six.
He also cleared the ropes off Afridi but there was only one more boundary in his 47 off 38 balls before he was caught at mid-wicket off Cork.

Hey darlings, I am PRIIINCESSS, and welcome to my online clothing company!
As a fashion lover with a passion for people and business. It's always been my dream to have my own clothing company. So I decided to start with this AFFORDABLE online boutique with a personal feel… I believe fashion should be fun and every woman should have the right to expression herself.
Each and every item is hand-picked by yours truly to ensure quality and uniqueness. PRIIINCESSS Clothing was created based on MY own personal style. A mixture of classy, sexy and a lot of fun. Finally, an online boutique that is all about looking BEAUTIFUL , sophisticated, feminine and of course stylish.
Starting out finding a suitable niche was extremely difficult. I find myself getting lost and caught up in the world of trendy and tasteless pieces. With sales increasing and decreasing, mostly decreasing. Something had to be done. Late 2015 I made the decision of becoming an all "Dress Shop". Beautiful Quality Dresses to be exact. PRIIINCESSS is not just a direct reflection of my personal style but my lifestyle as well. Figured I needed a woman or should I say more women like myself.
It's clear Society's perception of the "ideal woman" is unrealistic… I asked myself, what's an ideal woman? What does she do? Who are her friends? What are her hobbies and day to day routine…. Just like that, the new and improved PRIIINCESSS was born. My personal perception of an "ideal woman" The woman I am, hope to be and still working on becoming. .
Our Ideal Woman
She is the ultimate business beauty, she's smart, sexy and fearless. She is a power house and a beast in her field.. She is proudly designing a simple life worth living. Love and Success are her life main goals. She believes in balance and the quality of life. Her Sundays are well spent having brunch and loving on loved ones. Her vacation choices are always beach destinations…. She understands the importance of looking your best at all times. Her closet is made out of classic working girl dresses with a twist, weekend wear maxi dresses, girls night out sets and sexy date night dresses. She invented the concept "work hard play hard". A closet that caters to each or both roles is a must and a dream…
…And oh, she gives back. 😉

Josh and April's wedding was the first wedding I got to try out my under water body. Needless to say…it's pretty hard without strapping weights to your body to keep you down. Josh and April were so awesome at being great sports in the pool – and we caught a lot of attention. I felt like the shark from jaws, swimming around in snorkel gear in the pool with a giant camera housing.
We had beautiful light rising up over the turquoise ocean, which was a perfect way to say good-bye on our last day in Mexico. Hope you guys enjoy!!

Having, somewhat pruriently, watched the swans mating, I was hopeful that they were going to stay on the pond.A couple of rather 'arty' portraits of the pair.
I must confess that I didn't take much notice of them for a while until I caught them 'at it' again:The cob was behaving quite triumphantly on the nest. Note the coot's nest just beyond.
Things carried on much as hitherto:
On the 26th April there were definitely eggs!
The nest site was in the reeds under the steep bank below Redlands School. The reeds were still not grown enough to hide the nest from the other bank.

As usual all pictures can be seen bigger by clicking on 'em.
Swans have bred on the pond for the first time since I've been here – that's ten years. According to some it's longer than that: "Not within living memory" one antique native told me.
One swan overwintered.

An apology
I know I've said this before but: "I don't remember people." It's not 'cause I don't like particular people; it's not 'cause particular people aren't memorable; it's not 'cause I can't talk to particular people.
I just don't remember people.
Folk I meet while walking, anglers, dog walkers or other walkers, often greet me as if they recognise me, they probably do. In order to not appear totally oafish I tend to meet everyone with a nod, a smile and a cheery "Hi", as if I know them.
Folk I've known and spoken with for yonken are the exception* and possession of a dog also ups your chances of recognition. Names: that's another of my many failings.
*Not invariably – as related elsewhere, I once blanked my brother.

A bit more of October
Forgot to mention in the previous post that Michaelmas Day used to be on the tenth or eleventh of Oct. After this date the devil steals all the sweetness from blackberries.
Old Michaelmas Day falls on 11 October (10 October according to some sources – the dates are the result of the shift from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar). According to an old legend, blackberries should not be picked after this date. This is because, so folklore goes, Satan was banished from Heaven on this day, fell into a blackberry bush and cursed the brambles as he fell into them. In Yorkshire, it is said that the devil had spat on them. According to Morrell (1977), this old legend is well known in all parts of the United Kingdom, even as far north as the Orkney Islands. In Cornwall, a similar legend prevails, however, the saying goes that the devil urinated on them.Wiki
If anyone's interested, I can confirm that they lose their sweetness as the month ages. Continue reading
Winterfylleð continues
Winterfylleð* was the Old English name for the month which became October. It apparently means winter filling or possibly winter full moon. It was nicked by J.R.R. Tolkien† for use in Lord of the Rings.
*ð was pronounced very like 'th' so it was winterfilth

I read a lot of books, not so many now – t'internet takes up an awful lot of my attention. I recall waaaaay back in Sheffield Central Library picking a book and being scorned by my father: "What do you want that for? Elves and dwarves‡ are kids stuff." It was, of course, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again. That probably marks the beginning of my lifelong fascination with science fiction and especially with fantasy.

In Wichita speech, Gates warns of defense cuts' consequences
The United States is risking its freedom and prosperity if it allows "mindless, across-the-aboard spending cuts" to the Pentagon budget come year's end, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said Monday evening in Wichita.
Gates was the keynote speaker for the Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting, which has long been characterized by illustrious keynote speakers, including two former presidents in the last decade.
Unlike most of the Chamber's keynoters, though, Gates is a native of Wichita, having grown up here in the late '40s and early '50s and graduated from East High School. Since leaving the Pentagon, Gates has become chancellor of the College of William and Mary, his undergraduate alma mater in Williamsburg, Va.
Speaking at Century II before a crowd the Chamber estimated at 2,500, Gates began his prepared remarks with a serious of jokes at Washington's expense, but quickly became focused and sober as he described a world beset by rogue nations and terrorist actors that threaten the United States and its democratic allies.
The world, Gates said, "is becoming more turbulent, more complex and more dangerous," requiring a diverse and nimble military to respond to unpredictable crises.
However, he said, that ability to respond is threatened by "sequestration," the series of automatic budget cuts that will be triggered at the end of the year if Congress does not act. Those cuts, Gates said, disproportionately affect the military.
Gates said many wrongly assume that a bloated defense budget is a big part of Washington's spending problem and cuts must be forced. But, he said, more than $900 billion in military cuts have taken place or under way, mostly triggered by budget cutting during his tenure at the Pentagon. Meanwhile, the entitlement programs that constitute most of the federal budget go untouched.
Defense spending is only about 15 percent of the federal budget, Gates said, and the cuts that have already been made have required hard choices about what the military was giving up in terms of capability and readiness.
Further cuts risk limiting the military's portfolio of capabilities and threaten its need to maintain "maximum versatility" to respond to unknowable future threats, he said.
The U.S. is further pressured by the dwindling capabilities of its NATO allies, he said. Even Britain, one of the strongest, has decommissioned its last aircraft carrier, he said.
Increasingly, he said, the U.S. must step in where its allies, though sometimes initially willing, fail to respond adequately.
However, that U.S. leadership in crises and in world affairs generally is a good thing for the nation, Gates said, ensuring its stability, freedom and prosperity. But the key, he warned, is that its military remains capable and ready to respond.
While championing a position of American military might and readiness, Gates was clear and blunt in his assessment of a potential conflict with Iran over its nuclear ambitions.
Gates said attacking Iran at this stage would be "catastrophic," forcing Iran's nuclear program further underground and uniting its people in solidarity behind the ayatollahs and against the West.
Even if Israel acts alone, such an attack would automatically be ascribed to the United States' influence and have the same consequences, he said.
Still, the United States must be prepared to strike, he said. The other catastrophe would be if Iran is able to build a nuclear weapon, creating an arms race in the most unstable part of the world. That would disrupt would oil markets, threaten our Middle Eastern allies an spark a wave of global terrorism.
Gates said the best course of action is to ratchet up economic sanctions against Iran — which he said are already having a real effect on the regime's ability to maintain the confidence of its people — and to persuade Israel that the U.S. is acting in its interests even as it's advising military restraint.

Hyr Kov
From ThroneWorld
Hyr Kov (or High Kov) is the Kregish title equivalent to an Earthly archduke. The difference between a Kov and a Hyr Kov is that the estate of a Hyr Kov (called a Hyr Kovnate) will include several separate districts which are each populated by a different species of diff, whereas the estate of a Kov usually is dominated by one species only. Hyr Kovs are usually simply addressed as "Kov."

Ever had that experience where you are doing something and you think you know a lot about it and then it smacks you square in the face that you don't? That has been me and revision.
|This is probably closer to reality.
But that means that the revision of these early chapters is something to be reckoned with. I was working on a chapter yesterday where I introduce a new character - I had to find her name to figure out if it really was her because her voice was so WRONG. When I set out on this revision, I thought if I was slow and meticulous, I could maybe get away with just one and then do line edits, etc. later, but I have a sneaky suspicion that the learning process for revision is just starting.

Data security breaches are a serious problem for both consumers and businesses. Credit unions also bear a significant burden as they incur steep losses in order to reestablish member safety after a data breach occurs, whether online or otherwise. A February 2015 NAFCU survey reports credit unions, on average, spent $136,000 on data security measures and $226,000 in costs associated with merchant data breaches in 2014.
Despite the fact that many credit unions have implemented sophisticated and effective data security (including cybersecurity) safeguards, attackers adapt to constantly evolving technology and find new ways to penetrate systems. Credit unions must make efforts to stay one step ahead, a core function of their organization. In addition, all entities – not just financial institutions – that handle consumer information should comply with comprehensive federal data protection standards.
In May 2015, Reps. Randy Neugebauer, R-Texas, and John Carney, D-Del. introduced a NAFCU-backed bipartisan bill, the Data Security Act of 2015 (H.R. 2205), setting data protection standards, outlining a process for notifications and recognizing financial institutions' compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The bill closely aligns with legislation introduced a few weeks prior by Sens. Tom Carper, D-Del., and Roy Blunt, R-Mo. – Data Security Act of 2015 (S. 961). NAFCU supports their efforts and will continue to push for a data security bill that would create a strong national standard of protection for retailers, recognize credit unions' compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and hold retailers accountable for breaches occurring on their end. We urge credit unions to take action and ask their members of Congress to support the Data Security of 2015.
On May 14, 2015, the House Committee on Financial
Services held a hearing entitled, "Protecting Consumers: Financial Data
Security in the Age of Computer Hackers." Members of the committee discussed the
pitfalls of the patchwork of state legislation addressing data security
breaches and the comparative success of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which
applies to credit unions and other financial institutions. Several witnesses noted problems with
conflicting state laws that require different information to be included in
breach notifications, and which impose different timelines. Another witness testified that Gramm-Leach-Bliley
has worked for financial institutions and would work equally as well for other
industries in the payments ecosystem because it is both scalable and flexible.
On April 22, 2015, NAFCU President and CEO B. Dan Berger testified before the House Small Business Committee during a hearing titled "Small Business, Big Threat: Protecting Small Businesses from Cyber Attacks." In his testimony, Berger detailed how credit unions have successfully minimized data breaches and why it's important that others do the same. NAFCU continues to seek passage of a data security bill that would create a strong national standard of data protection for retailers, recognize credit unions' compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and hold retailers accountable for breaches occurring on their end.
VIDEO: Berger talks about his testimony on data security and the call for greater retailer accountability (5/8/15)
NAFCU was the first financial services trade association to weigh in on the data security issue on Capitol Hill in the wake of the 2013 Target data security breach. During hearings to discuss potential legislation that would better protect consumers from ongoing data breaches, we have asked for federal standards to ensure that merchants are responsible for breaches that occur on their end.
As the cybersecurity threat to national security grows, industry and agencies alike are urging federal action to establish national safeguards and standards.
The items NAFCU would like to see addressed in any comprehensive data security bill include:
NAFCU's work on data security and cybersecurity is ongoing and our team is committed to ensuring credit unions have the resources they need to address the cybersecurity environment financial institutions face.
NAFCU has stayed at the forefront of this issue and continued to advance the call for national data security standards for all parties and champion credit unions in major media nationwide.

I'm not Harry Jenson Trailer (2009)
"Trust No One...Not Even Yourself" 05 July 2009 Drama, Thriller 106 mins
Evoking the style and pace of the Noir genre, the film is essentially a murder mystery with Stanley (Gareth Reeves) the prime suspect. Stanley's success as a novelist has been largely due to his style where he writes from the first person perspective of the central characters, who are always the killers in real-life cases. Troubled with writer's block, his agent suggests a tramping trip "to clear his mind". However, when he wakes up on the first morning of his tramp, he finds his fellow tramper dead.

So I was recently asked to review the most recent LP by Chris Coco and Co. The multi-talented crew aptly named their recent LP 'The Chillout Album' and are releasing it on Melodica Recordings #MELOR039 on the 16th July. This happens to coincide with the 20th anniversary of their first release 'It!' on the magnanimous Warp Records back in 1994.
Having listened to the entire 44 minutes and 44 seconds on repeat the last few days I can honestly say that it is nothing short of a masterpiece. There are 14 tracks on the LP if one should even call them that. I would describe them more as transitioning segues. These were made in a series of late night sessions in various south London studios under the heavy influence of many crackly vinyl spins of classic albums by Eno, KLF and Laraaji; with label mates Deekie, James McArthur and Haraket popping in to contribute too.
They have described the LP as a homage to 90's chillout rooms and lost weekends at festivals. I would describe it as a blissed out soundwash detailing a magic carpet ride through peaceful forests and the vast corners of space. The first 11 tracks feel like one relaxing deep breath with remaining 3 tracks allowing the listener to exhale, letting go of any pent up stresses they may be experiencing and vacating the mind.
The LP is expertly crafted making great use of tremolo synths, reverb, pitch bending, silence and ambient field recordings of what I can only imagine to be Café del Mar, various forests and jungles, river tributaries, the sea, birds, crickets, white noise and, probably my favourite of all, an alien space craft unbeknown to us mere folk but clearly accessible to the Warp Records family. If you are keen fans of Burial, Four Tet, Teebs, Lone and Shigeto then this is definitely a cup of tea you need to be drinking immediately. Listen to a true pioneer going to town in the studio by clicking through here.
I'll highlight a few of my favourite moments and let you discover the rest for yourself. Segue 4, 'Queuing for Shangri-La with a Surprisingly Level Head' is a very abstract take on the beaches of Ibiza through the use of people talking to each other in the context of a heavily reverbed electric guitar, reversed horn and piano triad. Segue 6, 'Rain and Walking and a Strange Moment of Calm' starts with the lighting of a cigarette and progresses into the flowing sound of a river tributary, with crows overhead and omnipresent crickets in the background. The ending contains a recording of what sounds like a very lost and confused woman saying 'it's all very fast and I am not sure where I really am' which I believe most listeners will be able to relate to in some way. This leads nicely into the next two segues. Segue 7, 'You Parked your Car in the Spaceport' which contains heavy continuous pads, a guitar tremolo, monophonic synths sounding almost digital in nature and a sub bass which punches through intermittently giving the transition a humanesque pulse. Segue 8, 'Uncle Albert would Never Believe what you Can Do with this Computer' places the listener into the sacred Warp Records space shuttle with robotic alienesque sounds ready to take one into space. The synthesised harp riff continuous throughout and Space Centre Houston maintains the listeners grasp on reality. My mind was brought instantly to the sounds of Enya/Björk on first hearing this transition and is the best part of the journey in my opinion. Segue 11, 'Miles Away and Coming Closer' seems to be the peak of the gut wrenchingly progressive journey with the soulful and jazzy landing strip bringing the listener safely home.
If you're lucky enough to be going to Glastonbury this year be sure to catch DJ Chris Coco playing an extended ambient version of the LP at the Heaven stage on Friday 27th June. He will also be making appearances at Ambient Forest, Bestival on Friday 5th September and Festival No6 on Sunday 7th September.

1st month, US sales...the EVO vs the new iPhone - which will sell more units?
Looks like the main thread got locked again...unbelievable. Nobody was attacking anyone, and the conversation was about the EVO too!
everyone was attacking jackson.
As much as I'd like the Evo to outsell the Iphone I can't justify saying it will. At&t's customer base along with those using Iphones on T-mobile greatly outnumber Sprint's customer base. Once word of Sprint's 4G network superiority gets to the masses then I expect more to start jumping on the Sprint bandwagon.
If by attacking you mean questioning his info, then sure. Nobody was attacking the boy, they were just questioning his info. Some has been correct, some hasn't. And if you're going to claim to be an inside source you have to be aware that people will question what you say. If you don't like getting questioned, don't post. Quite simple.
the poll should be, "which phone DO YOU THINK will sell more units?" we arent time travelers.
Heh, you're right...I'm on probation and can't edit it though.
Iphone will sell more. The Evo could come gold plated, and the next iPhone could be made from poo, and it would still sell more. The iSheep are buying what Stevie is selling. I can hear their arguments now. Bigger app store, greater pixel density (even if they didn't even know what pixel density was until some other fanboi spouted off about it), made from poo (good for the environment! Apple is recycling!), the Evo is too big, and a ton of other nonsense. Brainwashed idiots.
Let me just say that I won't be one of the former iPhone owners adding to Apple's sales numbers though.
before everyone starts voting maybe wait?
Most of what we have is speculation and is not official.
We still officially dont know
Cost of Iphone version 4 vs EVO
Added cost to monthly plan for evo
How gullible people are
We can assume that the cost of the two will be close. Also, the plan for the EVO will probably a minimum of 69.99/mo. As for the gullible people...well, never underestimate the public's propensity for ... well shit, stupidity. I was going for the alliteration but can't think of a synonym for "stupid" that starts with a P.
Regardless, it's just fun to speculate.
With all respect, I don't think any of those things have a bearing on the purchasing habits of the majority of the people buying the iPhone. Most people just love it because others love it.
With that, I voted the iPhone will beat the EVO, but I also think that it'll be a much smaller margin of victory than it has been before.
It's Apple. End of discussion. Nothing can compete with them at the moment. The EVO has NO chance of selling more than the iPhone. Hell, the iPhone will sell more in 3 days than the EVO will in a month.
hi guys, just got back from july 22nd, 2010.
The Iphone will win this easily. The phone is simple, basic and to the point with what it does. For your average consumer the iphone cant be beat. There is little to NO learning curve. Android is not quite as simple or polished as the iphone is. There is a lot to be said for simplicity. And of course the appstore is vastly superior. In todays times apps and games are what makes the phone cool, u can literally keep your phone feeling fresh and new forever with them. Being a Hero owner i know android just doesnt have the same quality of apps. Even the apps that both platforms support, usually the iphone version is better or faster.
I really hope the EVO does well, but if its going to its up to sprint to push the heck out of this thing. And they need to push more than just their 4G network, i dont think the general public knows or cares much about those things. People just want whatever they have to be pretty, work like its suppose to and not cause them to think to much. So come on sprint push this phone RIGHT. Talk about the screen size, the 8mp camera and HD video capabilities. Things that regular people(meaning people who dont visit forums to discuss their new toys) care about.
The iPhone Will Sell More, But Only Because It's The iPhone. It's Like Halo. Everyone Loves It, But Only Because It's Halo, And Halo Is Getting Boring Now. But The Evo Will Still Be The Best!
Probably locked because it got clogged with a giant pissing contest. Imagine that
at this point i'm scared to have an opinion or reply to your threads.....sad.
I'm optimistic with just about everything pertaining to the EVO, but no. The iPhone will outsell it.
iPhone is an established brand and has proven itself. It will sell a ton. I personally will be getting an Evo because it's more in line with what I want. Not really my business where other people spend their money
I have to agree, the iPhone will sell more than the EVO. The iPhone doesn't have to compete in itself, unlike the EVO who is in competition not only with the iPhone but every other Android phones that are coming out within the next few months.
I would love to see the Evo outsell the iPhone, but in reality, I doubt it will b/c of all the iPhone fanboys. im not saying apple fanboys b/c I'm a HUGE apple/mac computer fan, BUT i loath the iPhone, to me, its not a smart phone, its a iPod on steriods that happends to make phone calls. The only reason why I even own a ipod is b/c my radio in my car can connect to it to play music and it works well on it, BUT it stays hooked to my radio in the glove box al the time, only take it out to add music to it, lol.
On with my normal banter. I voted iPhone. I think the two devices once actually announced will be quite similar.
Apple is a master of launches, Sprint not so much.
if the evo ever outsells the iPhone, it WON't be month 1, it'll be down the road when it proves it self to the common folk... nobody cares about who HTC or truly understands what wimax is, they don't understand why anroid is better, iPhone already has more people lined up for the iPhone 4th gen then there are people that even know about the EVO
jeeze. have confidence people!! go evo! *shouts from a lonely corner where no one can here me*

Detectives were questioning three people Wednesday afternoon after the stolen car they were in collided with two police cars.
The three males were arrested after colliding with a Georgia State Patrol car that was attempting to block their path on Interstate 516 and then sideswiped a Savannah-Chatham police car. All three were taken into custody at the scene, said metro police spokesman Julian Miller.
The 2013 Nissan Altima they were driving was taken in the robbery of a 28-year-old man in front of his apartment on West Oglethorpe Avenue on Tuesday night. The owner told police he was sitting in the car about 11 p.m. when a man placed a box cutter to his face, ordered him out of the vehicle and drove away in it, Miller said.
Detectives are attempting to determine if anyone in the car was involved in the carjacking or other offenses. Police will not release names unless charges are filed, Miller said.
The Georgia State Patrol is investigating the collision, and any charges will be filed by metro police.
Miller said undercover agents from the Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team identified the car traveling on 37th Street and alerted a metro officer who attempted a traffic stop just before 1 p.m.. The car sped away and the metro officer discontinued the pursuit, but a state trooper in the area interceded. He attempted to corral the Altima on a bridge on I-516, but it struck his car and then sideswiped the metro car, Miller said.
Damage to each police car was slight, but the Altima received heavier damage and had to be towed away, Miller said.
Police credit witnesses
While witnesses directly contributed to arrests in two recent westside Savannah homicides, Savannah-Chatham police homicide detectives are asking for the community's help in solving three others since last June.
Maurice Lipsey, 51, of the 600 block of Cleland Street, was found shot to death beside a relative's house on the 500 block of Cleland in the Hudson Hill area about 7 a.m. June 20, 2012, said police spokesman Julian Miller. He had been shot multiple times.
On March 13, Williams Bass Jr., 33, was found shot to death beside West Bay Street by patrol officers responding to a shooting call about 1 a.m. Miller said he was clutching two $1 bills when he died.
William George Anderson, 24, was found dead about 8 a.m. Nov. 3, 2012, near a picnic table in the park with multiple gunshot wounds.
Anyone with information on any of the cases is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637). Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.
A confidential tip line also is open directly to investigators at 912-525-3124.
Saturday lane closure on Abercorn
Georgia Department of Transportation contractors on Saturday will install an lane closure on Abercorn Street between Largo Drive and Wilshire Boulevard.
From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. the eastbound lane of Abercorn will close for asphalt paving. The closure will continue Sunday if the work is not completed in one day.
Motorists are advised to reduce speeds as they travel through the construction work zone.

The coolest invention this year! (was invented two years ago) - Yahoo! News. I've written before about my preference for cheap, ubiquitous tech over flashy and expensive gadgets.
The exclusivity of pricey next-level gizmos actually detracts from their usefulness and prevents strong user/developer communities from forming (iPad, anyone?). With that in mind, I dreamed about tablet computers becoming as cheap and ubiquitous as USB keys. Turns out, I should have dreamed bigger. Thanks to Pranav Mistry of MIT's Media Lab, screens themselves could be rendered irrelevant. Or rather—when walls, sheets of paper, or even your hands can be used as screens, then cheap becomes free and computing takes a great leap forward. Eight great gadgets for college dorms. It's almost time for college students to begin fall classes, so I thought it would be good to compile a list of gadgets for college dorms and apartments.
The obvious ones, like smartphones, laptops, iPads and calculators aren't listed here because I went for the fun and unique gadgets instead. Take a look and let me know if you've found something cool that should be included. (Scroll to the bottom to see a video that demonstrates the gadgets.) 1. The Elite Cuisine Multi-Function 3-In-1 Breakfast Center is a coffee maker, toaster oven and griddle all in one. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Cool Tools. Lots of ideas for last minute holiday shopping There is still enough time to buy cool tools as gifts and have them arrive before Christmas.
Here's our complete list of gift ideas for 2016. (And here's Boing Boing's complete gift guide, too.) Happy Holidays! I started trying some of the ceramic coated pans a few years back and have found one to be the best, the Scanpan ($98). With a 3-outlet multi-tap ($8) you can be a minor hero at a crowded airport by letting a few others charge up *their* laptops or phones when the too-few AC outlets are full: I've never been turned down when asking politely to share the wall, nor turned down someone who wants to use one of the outlets. — Timothy Lord.

That girl... That quilt...: Have a Stitchin Weekend. I spend a lot of my week days sketching and dreaming about new projects and then I sew a lot on the weekends.
I adore weekend projects that I can complete and smile about all week long so... ...welcome to where I will share a tutorial or project every Friday that can be completed in a weekend {or less} so that your weekend can be as stitchn' as mine. :) And because I'm not that creative, I will also be looking for guest bloggers to share projects so email me if you are interested.
Every Monday I'll be posting and giving ya'll the chance to link up and show off your weekend projects. Weekend # 1: Half Square Triangles {That Girl Style} I really like the look of half square triangles {HST's} and if there is a fast way to whip them up, 4 at a time, then I'm all about that.

The sweaters and jackets get pushed to the back of the closet, the flip flops come out, and I inevitably freeze my butt off for several weeks until the weather catches up with my warm-weather state of mind. Likewise, my cravings for fresh herbs and veggies are always a little ahead of the season. Growing your own herbs is a great way to save money and avoid buying too much at a time and letting most of it go to waste. If it's still too cold to plant outside where you are (or if you're short on space!) This hanging herb garden is the perfect project to get you in gear for spring. What you'll need: Tin containers with snap-on plastic lids (tea, cocoa, and coffee cans are a good bet), coat hangers, pliers, scissors, herbs (I bought basil, rosemary, dill, and cilantro for about $2.50 each), masking tape, coffee filters, a nail, a hammer, X-acto knife, scrap fabric or paper, and glue or spray adhesive.

Reviewer:Julie Khoury, MD(Mayo Clinic Hospital)
Description:This concise review of neurology and psychiatry for individuals taking their neurology boards or recertification examinations uses many tables, illustrations, and mnemonics.
Purpose:The purpose is to provide the most useful and current guide to the American Boards of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) certification and recertification exams. There is a need for a high-quality, succinct neurology review aimed at individuals preparing for initial certification or recertification exams.
Audience:It is written for neurology residents and neurologists preparing to take their certification or recertification exams.
Features:The book covers all major neurology and psychiatry topics on the exams. It includes some nice tables and illustrations, and mnemonics and high-yield facts are located in the margins.
Assessment:This is a nice, concise review of high-yield neurology and psychiatry topics focused on preparing for neurology board examinations. It can easily be read or reviewed in a short period of time, and the tables and graphics are also helpful. It is not, however, a thorough review of neurology and would be more useful when combined with a comprehensive reference textbook for neurology board exam preparation.

Markets reacted positively to cut in repo rate and Sensex jumped over 100 points
New monetary policy review was the first by the six-member monetary policy committee headed by Reserve Bank of India's governor Urjit Patel. The repo policy rate is now at its lowest since November 2010.
The monetary policy committee (MPC) headed by RBI governor Urjit Patel on Tuesday cut repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.25 percent.
The cut in repo rate may lead to a fall in home and auto loan EMIs. Markets also reacted positively to cut in repo rate and Sensex jumped over 100 points.
MPC was introduced the new policy to make decision-making more transparent and more collegiate. Hitherto, the RBI governor had taken sole responsibility for the deciding rates.
The governor still gets a deciding vote if the panel is evenly split. All six members of MPC voted in favour of rate cut.

Do I Need a Lawyer?
If you find yourself facing problems with a medical malpractice claim, it is always prudent to weigh carefully whether you want to hire a lawyer to represent you, or go it alone. And in particular, you may be called upon to invest some thought into two particularly vexing scenarios: How challenging the legal problem is likely to be; and what are the chances of success.
According to Jason Konvicka: "Medical malpractice happens when a health provider fails to use the recognized procedures when treating the patient after injury." The "standard care" is defined as, "what a reasonably prudent medical provider would or would not have done under constant or similar circumstances." In essence to that, it boils down to know whether the vendor was negligent.…See More
