iPad mini pricing rumored to start at $329
While iMore has consistently heard the widely anticipated iPad mini would start at around $200-$250 for 8GB, now some pricing information is being reported that pegs the starting price higher -- at $329 (though at what storage capacity is uncertain).This according to Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac, who has an excellent track record when it comes to retail pricing:
Apple's entry price for its upcoming smaller iPad is between the base model of the new, fifth-generation iPod touch ($299) and the currently shipping WiFi-only 16GB iPad 2 ($399). According to our sources, the base model of the smaller iPad will likely be priced at a minimum of $329 in the United States.
If Apple is going over $300 for the entry level model, and our original information was accurate -- which I believe it was -- then something changed.
One possibility is that Apple has abandoned the 8GB SKU and is starting instead with a 16GB SKU at a $100 higher price point. 8GB would have made for a very low, low end model but may not have ultimately provided a user experience Apple was happy with, especially given the size of TV shows, movies, and even the upcoming iBooks Apple is planning. Also, the $200-$250 8GB iPad mini we heard about was predicated on taking the fight to Amazon's Kindle and Google's Nexus 7, and neither of those devices have taken the world by storm. You can't even buy or realistically use them in many parts of the world. It could simply be that Apple doesn't feel the price pressure they assumed they would in the small tablet space, and so aren't being as aggressive as they may have been had Amazon and Google enjoyed greater success to date.
A less likely possibility is Retina display. Moving from an iPad 2 1024x768 resolution display at an iPhone 3GS 163 ppi to an iPad 3 2048x1536 resolution display and an iPhone 4 326 ppi would increase cost and hence, price point. We've heard both display types were in the pipeline, but Retina still sounded more like next year's model than this year's. Given the display resolution of the new Kindle Fire HD is 1280x800 at 215 ppi, however, moving it up could be seen as a competitive necessity.

A $300+ price point could just be this year's "early adopter" price. It would reduce demand somewhat, which may actually be good for Apple because supply will probably be constrained anyway. And it will establish the "mini" as a high-end product in the sub-8" pad space.
That price would also fit in with Apple's pricing of other products. Specifically, it would position the iPad mini above the iPod touch at $299. More logical in consumers' eyes than making the bigger device cheaper.
Some types of miniaturized products can command premium prices, but the iPod touch isn't a miniaturized version of anything. It has exactly the same screen component as iPhone 5, and Apple has conditioned the market to expect lower prices for smaller-screen devices. So pricing the iPad mini below the iPod touch would be extremely awkward. And Apple couldn't drop the price of the iPod touch so soon after its introduction.
So the iPad mini will probably be positioned at the top of the sub-8" pad market. That means it would need to have impressive specs. We'll see soon enough.
woah, thats an outrageous price...i hope this is just a rumor. Unless of course it has a retina display then that would justify the price tag
Could just be a set up for future releases => New release priced at $329, previous model drops to $299.
$329 16GB model isn't to terrible all things considered. I hoping they realized that an 8GB iPad Mini is just like the 4GB iPhone from 2007 which no one bought because it's way too little storage.
they will lose a lot of customers if this is the actual price for it.
people have been holding off from other cheaper tablets in hopes that
they would release it at a competitive price.
but at $329 for the base model, id expect it to have retina and the new a6 chip.
Reading some of these posts I have to wonder if any of you have been paying attention to apple at all over the past ten years..
Since when has apple ever priced anything at, or better yet, below the same threshold as the competition? Since when have specs ever matched? MacBooks cost 4x as much as a comparably specced HP.
All this wishful thinking about a device priced sub-$200 never made any sense at all. Apple wants its devices to seem like the premium option. When you buy one they want you to feel like you just joined an exclusive club (along with millions and millions of others) of people who want the best. And while the specs might not be as good as others, you can bet that the user experience and performance will be superior.
I agree with you 110%. Why would Apple jump into the sub $200 tablet market when what is there is just cheap anyways. I purchased an 8gb Nexus 7 and it is a pretty nice device, but it also isn't made very well, has a horrible display, and basically only runs phone applications blown up to a 7" display. Apple doesn't need to jump into this market they only need to offer a smaller iPad at a lower price than the $499 entry level retina iPad or $399 iPad 2. Apple shouldn't jeapordize its premium feel just to get into a market. We all know they dont even need to jump into this market, but by owning a 7" tablet I can really see the demand for a smaller and more portable tablet especially for reading. It doesn't even matter if it has the same resolution as the iPad 2 as even with the smaller pixel density than the competition the iPad 2 still had one of the best displays on the market. My wife has one and it absolutely destroys the display on my Nexus 7 even thought it is much lower pixel density. I love the retina on my iPad 4G LTE 64GB and even though the Nexus 7 is easier to handle and I bought it to read on I still find it collecting dust as it simply is no match for the quality display on my iPad. It is my go to device for everything and not only does my Nexus 7 collect dust, but sadly my 2011 Macbook Pro does as well.
Won't be buying at that outrageous price.
I tend to agree. If it's this price I'll go for the iPad2 at Micro Center. They have it for $359. Best Buy will price match as well.
If $329 is correct it cannot have 8 GB but should have 16 GB and the screen should have high rez.
Could this be ipad mini wifi + cellular pricing? US$329 seems high, but have to see the hardware in order to assess pricing/value.
Nah. Apple isn't competing against Fire (which hasn't really gotten any buzz since being updated). They're competing against the bigger iPad. They feel people will compare Mini in price and functionality to larger iPad and will come away feeling great at fact they got what they want at a discount.
I'd easily pay $329 if it was retina.. and I'm really hopeful that it is!
If it's not, than the iPad 3 retina graphics contained in the .ipa's could very quickly and unnecessarily fill up a 7" non-retina iPad, and it would be very annoying.
My opinion on this is that Apple should have discontinued the iPod Touch and release either a 8GB or 16GB iPad Mini at $299 with a high res display, I think Apple would make a mistake by releasing the iPad Mini without at least an HD screen because of the fact that their competition have high res displays for cheaper than $299.
Nah. I think the Touch is still worth being sold. It'll sell well and fits different use case than Mini.
It is HD. do you mean retina?
If this is true, this is going to really tank interest among the masses. Sure the fanboys and gals will pay whatever they ask but the masses will look to the nexus 7 etc. The competition will just be thrilled with this move.
Right, because the masses have been completely enthralled with the Nexus, which since June has an estimated sales of less than 1 million. Many are waiting for smaller iPad, including consumers, small businesses, and schools. This will be huge whether it's at $249 or $329.
Matter of fact, I'll go all in and say preorders alone will top 1 million in a weekend.
"The masses" have already paid for the larger iPad. Do you really think $300 is a problem? This is not going to be marketed as an iPad for those who can't scrape together a few hundred dollars, its going to be a smaller iPad. Big difference.
I think $329 or thereabouts is a great price point and will spur adoption in schools, small business and enterprise. Of course consumers are also looking to scoop a couple up for kids or themselves. I really do hope it's retina, however even if it's not the use of in cell touch tech will produce brighter colors and a better visual experience anyway. Additionally I think the complete package of thin, light, and less expensive will be enough for most to pull the trigger. The biggest issue will be demand. Christmas is around the corner, and this should be the hottest device going.
You know Rene I got on you last week about the leak of pricing for the Mini and how out of wack that was. Now if what is being said is true this is even worse. I can understand there are concerns about cannibalizing sales of the touch and all, but this is ridiculous. We now have good evidence that the Nexus7 will be getting a storage upgrade to 32GB and that it will come at the price of the older 16GB model. So gee lets see 32GB 7in tablet that is well supported vs a 16GB 8in tablet that is also well supported but costs 80 bucks more? Hmmm, do I have to say what most people will choose. This will be sadly just the Rabid Fan edition and not the home run they thought it would be. If it had been say 275 instead people may not have liked it but would have probably bought them none the less.
If this is the price with 3 or 4g in it that's ok. But if that the starting price then it time to look at something else. I would wait to see if google puts 3G in there mini.
lol. Highly doubt this is the price with 4G. And I don't think Apple has to match the $199 price point. Why? Because their $499 product is selling over 15 times as well as the Nexus is, and over 5 times as well as the Fire is. So why would Apple have to match the price of their competitors? They just have to outmatch their own iPad. That's it.
For that price I think people are going to expect a Retina display. Or SOMETHING to justify the price point.
As well they should.
I don't think the price point is justified of the the new ipad or ipad 2 but hat doesn't keep people from emptying their pockets
How about this: the first batch of iPad minis could all be wi-fi ($199) + LTE ($130) = $329. The LTE option is $130 on the full-sized iPad, and there's no reason why it should be less expensive an option for the iPad mini.
Next spring, when the full-sized iPad (4th gen) is announced, Apple could also offer the iPad mini in a wi-fi-only configuration for $199. Or not. Maybe all iPad minis will have LTE as a standard feature. That way Apple could keep the iPad mini, at $329, priced above the iPod touch ($299) because the touch has no LTE option.
So much for Gruber's theories. I'm willing to eat crow if this story turns out to be false, but I never believed this iPad mini would be cheaper than the iPod Touch.
The iPod Touch is amazingly thin and light, but frankly it's overpriced. Apple believes the iPad line is more premium than the iPod line and these rumoured prices reflect that.
I could see 249 for WiFi and 329 for cellular..
With cellular on contract maybe. Your phone that is half this size costs more to buy outright. Only an idiot would think you could get a cellular tablet for LESS than the price of a phone especially when that tablet does everything that phone does, except phone calls, on a larger screen. At that point, the phone itself is nothing more than an app. Dunces
No worries, all of you complaning here will be lining up later in front of apple stores or hitting F5 like crazy to get a hold of that precious piece of tech, because everything apple does is magical and revolutionary. Better stop whining and get your wallets ready
if the ipod touch and this decrease by $100, then maybe
I'd pay that for a retina device. I doubt it's retina though, the battery is just way too small.
I was really hoping for that $250 range. I got three kids all wanting an iPad and two fiddy would have been much more workable for Christmas.
I'm slightly horrified at people who think schools are waiting for this to adopt tablets or are hoping for it all the same. First off there are many other just as capable tablets out there that could do the things that schools may possibly require at a much lower price point. Secondly those schools have desktops and or laptops for students to use that can run full blown software. Thirdly there is no ecosystem of apps that would benefit any school system to blow that kind of money (i.e. No catalog of textbooks and other formal criteria at any sort of reasonable price that those schools don't already have, or in many cases can't afford at all, which is what would make them the most useful). Lastly, for now, there is no replacement and should be no replacement for physically writing out notes or math or homework of most kinds on a daily basis. Kids are already illiterate enough.
If it starts at $329 I will seriously just buy a nexus 7.
its not going to have an A6. They wouldn't release the mini with better specs than the new iPad and they aren't going to be adding the A6 to the new ipad most likely. It would make sense for them to refresh the new ipad with an A6 before christmas but Apple seems to be stuck on their release patterns so I doubt they will. Most likely if there is a $329 model it will be an A5 with a standard display and 16gb of storage. I don't like the price but they priced the touch too high and now they are stuck with this problem. They should have done all they could to price the new touch at $249 and drop the old one completely. The reason I am doubtful on the mini using retina is that the battery would simply have to be too large for them to achieve the form factor they desire. That said this could be the first IGZO product but that is also doubtful because unless they change their pattern (doubtful) next years iphone will have the same display and the IGZO iphone won't hit until the following year. I doubt they will introduce it in the ipad and wait that long before putting it in the iphone. The most likely sequence of events is mini ipad launched now with terrible specs (ala ipad 1), full size ipad keeps to march time frame and next year ipad mini switches to summer launch for back to school book push and catches up with the iPad at that point with igzo, A6, retina etc
Re: " It would make sense for them to refresh the new ipad with an A6 before christmas but Apple seems to be stuck on their release patterns so I doubt they will."
Agree. No hurry to update the 9.7" iPad. The only remaining change necessary this year is the Lightning connector port.
Re: "...full size ipad keeps to march time frame and next year ipad mini switches to summer launch for back to school book push..."
Great thinking. A separate iPad mini announcement would also provide a second burst of publicity for iPad in general every year. And it would establish each year's iPad models long before the holiday season. Consumers won't just see an ad on TV and and say "I want that." They'll have time to try friends' iPads and iPad minis and say "I really, really want that."
Not a good price point. People will still buy the kindle or crapy nexus seven for $130 less.
To much for people starting out - I like the bigger for my grip and vision issues - why is smaller so "big" ? Features in product count more to me
Really Apple? This is the first I have been really disappointed with pricing from Apple. I think this is a failed opportunity to really go after the market. I was going to buy one if it was $250 but now no thanks especially if its only 8 GB.
"If Apple is going over $300 for the entry level model, and our original information was accurate -- which I believe it was -- then something changed." What a douche, just word it differently to avoid saying you were wrong, eh? C'mon dude....not hating bc you actually get a lot of your early release info correct, but that statement was pathetic.
Apple wanted to make the Nexus 7 irrelevant at $250 . but I think the rumors of the $99 Nexus 7 got to them... They figured they don't want to play the race to the bottom... it'll be easier to make the Nexus obsolete if it was 200 vs . 250 but at $99 Apple figured.. we might as well abandon the race to the bottom .. and make some considerable profit because the apple cult fans will buy it regardless of the price

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Slimjim256 Love this shorts These are by far the best shorts I have ever owned in my life. The mobility in them is second to none. I've had all the other brand gear but these short put anything they offer to shame. I'm 5'6" 215 lbs, this shorts fit perfect not to long and not to short. To long for my size make me look shorter. Have a perfect fit, i measure the shorts Inseam 10. Love them and very comfortable. 3/24/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CaptainFitness These shorts are light and extremely comfortable. Great shorts. Perfect for warm weather. I can't wait until the weather gets warm enough to water these. The colors are great. I advice everyone to buy more than one of these pairs. Your going to like them so much you will want to wear them everyday. I normally wear medium but medium was a bit big. I had to switch them did the small. I am a 31 inch waist, 5'8" 178lbs. 2/5/13

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Gordon1013 Amazing pair of shorts These shorts are my first pair of training shorts, so I didn't know what to expect. When I put them on, I instantly felt more mobile, more powerful, and more comfortable compared to wearing basketball shorts. These shorts are super comfortable, super stylish, and super durable. My only concern with the shorts is that I wish there was more than one pocket, but with training shorts, you're not really going to get more than one pocket, so I'll deal. Great job reebok. 6/11/14

The Torrance Tornado- Jason Wheeler
When the idea of adopt a Prospect came up my first choice was Jason Wheeler for several reasons. First he is a impressive young man to talk to, second my wife thought he was a nice boy, third he met Harmon Killebrew and my son is named for Harmon, and fourth he is a member of the Snappers. So a bit about the 6 foot 8 inch, 265 pound left handed throwing young man from Torrance, California.
Jason comes from a family of athletes, mom and dad both played college basketball and his older brother Ryan plays in the Diamondbacks organization and is currently in AAA with the Reno Aces. So Jason has the pedigree. Jason played college ball at Loyola Marymount University, as did his Snapper team mate Matt Koch, and some Twins fans may have seen him play for the St. Cloud River Bats of the Northwoods League where he was named 2010 Pitcher of the Year with a 8 and 1 record, 1.35 ERA and 74 strike outs. He was 6-4 with a 3.84 ERA his last year with the Lions before the Twins drafted him in the 8th round in 2011. (That may make him a qualify him as one of us. I have to check the rules.)
Jason was a Junior at LMU when he left for the Twins but will graduate this fall with a degree in business law. If the whole pitching in the Majors and making a lot of cash thing doesn't work out he might end up a sports agent, we will try not to hold that against him on this blog.
With three games started under his belt at Beloit this year Jason is 1-0 with a 2.40 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 10 K's and 5 walks in 15 innings. The nom de plume I threw out has nothing to do with his velocity or style of pitching, I just have a soft spot in my heart for baseball of the 1920's-1930's when such names where common place. Depending on the wacky southern Wisconsin weather Jason should take the mound in the next couple of days against Bowling Green. I have yet to see him pitch but it looks like he charts a good game, once he has some gloves to keep those California fingers warm.
Good luck Jason, we will be keeping a eye on you.
04-27-2012, 11:26 AM #2April 25th-Start
I am going to write about a oddity for a Twins fan, good starting pitching. Not awesome or eyepopping, but good. Wednesday Jason Wheeler picked up his second victory Wednesday with six innings of 10 hit (8 singles-2 doubles), 2 K, 0 BB and 3 earned run pitching. Wheeler was helped by the GIDP and picked off a runner in order to keep more from crossing the plate. The Snappers held it close until the sixth when they put three runs in breaking the 3 to 3 tie. Wheeler stats sit at 21 innings, 1.38 WHIP (24 hits and 5 walks), 12 strikeouts, and 3.00 ERA.
The Beloit record sits at 10-10 and have won a couple in a row, with Sano not contributing.

Mr Wheeler visiting some Beloit Kindergartners. Looks kind of cramped in that chair for a 6'8: 260 plus guy.
Wheeler with the kids 2.jpgWheeler with the kids.jpgWheeler w kids 3.jpg
April goes out like a Lion as far as Mr. Wheeler is concerned and he controlled the Dayton Dragons for 6 innings. 2 Hits, 1 walk and 7 k's. 5 of the strikeouts were of the swinging variety. He faced 20 batters in those six innings, helped out by his defense a couple of times however for the most part Big Jason was impressive and he owned this one. His record improves to 3 wins and no losses, 2.33 era, 1.19 WHIP, 19 k's, 6 BB, opponents are batting .238 against him. Now that April is done where does Jason Wheeler fit in the hierarchy of Twins Organization of Starting pitchers? Where will Seth Stohs put him on his Minor League pitchers of the month? How long will the college pitcher stay at Low A Ball?

Another start and another win for Jason Wheeler. The Wisconsin weather today was stormy, humid and cloudy. Considering the downpours spreading across the southern part of the state the question was whether this game would get in and the Snappers warm run would be interupted by tha rain. Fortunatly the skies did not open up on Pohlman Field and the starter with the best record on the team was able to face the Kane County Cougars.
Wheeler pushed the Snappers 4 games over .500 with another excellent outing in Low A Ball. The righty got 6 innings in with 5 hits, 1 walk, 4 strikes (2 swinging.) and one HBP. He dropped his ERA to 1.91 and his record to 4-0. He recorded 18 outs, 8 in the air, 6 on the ground and 4 K's. The Snappers supported his efforts with 5 runs highlighted by home runs by Tyler Grimes and the suddenly hot Rory Rhodes. Eddie Rosario was 2 for 4 with his 11th double, former Gopher Kyle Knudsen had his first action of the year going zero for three with 2 strikeouts.
Bart Carter put in a inning and two thirds, giving up 2 runs and striking out three. Then Micheal Tonkin finished the game with a inning and a third also recording three strike outs for the save.
Wheeler is now leading the league in wins, with 6 other pitchers. He is however the only one not to have a loss on his record so far. How WHIP stands at 1.15. He hasn't given up a run in 12 innings. He will get a chance to run this streak to lucky number 13 later this week.

Wheeler has been impressive......how hard does he throw?? Any reports on that.
Here is a scouting report from 2011 that I found on line.
Jason Wheeler was named Midwest Pitcher of the Week for the Week of April 30th to May 6th. 2 wins in 2 starts, no runs allowed in 12 innings, 11 strike outs and 2 walks and 7 hits.
I apologize for the tardiness of this update, but life sometimes gets in the way of baseball. So since we last left young Mr. Wheeler he was the hottest thing going on the Beloit mound, MWL Pitcher of the Week, 4 wins no losses and a 1.91 ERA. Then came the bottom of the 1st last Friday. Five runs, Five hits, one walk and a error on Wang-Wei Lin contributed his worst half inning of the year. Now he settled down after that making it to the 6th inning and only goving up one more run, but the Sanppers could not overcome that deficit and lost 6-2. This was Wheelers first loss of the year and raised his ERA up to 2.84. Now we get to see how he rebounds from what was a tough, tough inning and can he regain that touch he had in April against Quad Cities later this week.
Back on track. Jason Wheeler rebounded from his bad first inning on Friday the 18th by only giving up 3 runs in his next 11 innings. His last start on Wednesday had another 1st inning hiccup, a couple of hits and a run, but then he settled in again giving up another run a couple of innings later but striking out 5 (4 swinging), walking Zero, allowing 5 more hits and chucking one wild pitch. His control looks pretty good and he is getting some swings and misses which is encouraging from a system persepective. Nice to see him missing some bats. His ERA sits at 2.86 for the season with 31 strike outs and only 9 walks in 44 innings.. The hits are starting to pile up a bit the last couple of games, with 9 and 7 respectively in both of them. He has yet to give up a long ball, but he has been hurt by some stinging doubles and a triple followed by line drive singles. That he has not compounded these by putting guys on base by walks is a real positive sign, and he has been regularly working into the 6th inning. Overall he continues to be one os the stalwarts of a very good Snappers rotation which, though Sano and Rosario get the press, is reason number one that the Snappers lead the division. Good Pitching solves a lot of problems.
Ho Hum-Another night and another Quality Start for Jason Wheeler. 7 innings pitched, 2 runs, 5 K's (All swinging), one walk and 8 hits and another runner picked off. Wheeler now has pitched 51 innings, struck out 36,walked 10, 55 hits, 0 homeruns, 2.82 ERA, 1.27 WHIP. Lefties are hitting .275 off of him in a small sample size, while righties are geting 70% more at bats against him with a .277 avearge. Wheeler has a 1.47 GO/AO rate overall. The guy does get a lot of ground balls. Almost June in Beloit and Wheeler is 5-1, in the top ten for the league in wins and innings. Top 20 in ERA. Snappers are currently in 2nd place, 1 game behind the hated Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Next up for Mr. Wheeler will be a game in Kane County against the Cougars. My family is trying to decide between a day at a Waterpark in the Dells or heading to Kane County. If I leave it up to the kids my guess is it will be the waterpark. 88 degrees and humidity, a waterpark sounds about right actually.

Wow, No HRs in 51 IP! His K rate isn't very good and I'd like to see him add some velocity because he certainly has the frame for it. A promotion could be good for him, but maybe they are holding back so he gains a few mph on his fastball.
Jason Wheeler has improved to 6-1 this year after Sunday's game against the Kane County Cougars. He put in 8 innings and 5 hits, including his first home run given up this year, his ERA stands at 2.75. He struck out 5 and walked just 1. His WHIP is dropping and sits at 1.20 currently and he is still getting a good amount of flyballs. Seth Stohs in his updated prospect list now has Jason at number 30 on the list, ahead of his rotation mates Tim Shibuya and Steven Gruber. Jason is making a run at a spot on the MWL All-Star Team, which would be great for him. Unless he is in Fort Meyers at the time pitching for the Miracle. Either way it is all positive right now for the big guy.
Ok Twins Territory Train participants. Jason Wheeler pitches tonight. I am hoping to see some posts on how he does and what impressions you have of him. Hopefully it will be a good night against the hated River Bandits. ( I am turning my Johan Santana and Joe Mauer River Bandits bobbleheads away from the screen while writing this.) So I will be out of town camping with 16 Boy Scouts and 3 Leaders away from any electronic devices. I am jealous of your time in the QC.
It has been a busy couple of weeks for the Snappers and Jason Wheeler. Since my last post Wheeler has started 2 games and with similar stats and different results. June 1st, in front of the Twins Territory Train crowd in Quad Cities he gave up 5 earned runs on 7 hits, 5 K's and the oddity of 4 walks. Wheeler has been walking a little over 1 a game going into that contest and that night could not find the plate with as much regularity. The Snapper offense bailed him out however for the win. Seth Stohs had these observations from watching the game at beautiful Modern Woodman Park, "The tall, left-hander didn't throw hard, but he was very cool on the mound. His fastball touched 89-90 ph. He had a pretty OK changeup, and a good curveball in the upper 70s."
This improved his record to 7-1.
Next he was one of 7 Snappers named to the Midwest League All Star game to be played at the home of the Kane County Cougars on June 19th. This is wonderful for all these guys and a great experience.
Then Wednesday of this week he took the mound against the Burlington Bees and gave up another 5 runs, 3 earned in 5 innings pitched. Walks went down to 2 and K's were 4 with hits at 9. One of those hits was the third home run he has given up this year, all three coming in the last three games. Jason has been hittable this year with 76 hits in 66 inning, but he has been able to succeed by holding down walks and not allowing the ball to leave the confines of the stadium. If this pattern hold the second part of 2012 will not be pretty for our young man from California. Gary Lucas and him need to find out what has derailed him the last few outings and correct it. The curve right now is not in his favor, but baseball is a game that encourages and rewards patience due to its constant fluctuations. It is game not built to ADHD world we currently embrace, but one we could learn a lot from.
Jason will next take the mound this weekend against the 1st place Timber Rattlers up in Appleton. Important game for the boys to hold onto a playoff spot as the Cougars are coming up behind them.
Wheeler on the mound tonight. I will get my first chance to see him pitch live. Looking forward to it. Go Snappers.
I caught my first Jason Wheeler game the other night against the Burlington Bees. I wish I had caught an earlier game. I would rather not relive the entire game, but instead let me give some impressions of Wheeler. Big bodied, Good motions. Mechanics look good for a guy in Low A and he has a good prescence on the mound. He needs to keep the ball down and work the plate as his stuff is not over powering. He threw a couple of nasty off speed pitches that got the Bees hitters twisted around trying to make contact. But his fastball is nothing special at this point. We are not talking Jamie Moyer here and I did not have a radar gun packed in my families travel gear, but it might keep the boys occupied in the back seat if I did get one, but I did not get the feeling I was seeing Randy Johnson out there.
When the ball came up in the first inning he got spanked a couple of times, in the 3rd-4th-5th innings he was more consistent in working down in the zone and got the balls rolling into the infield. This was not always good as the Snappers decided tonight would be hacky sack night on the infield. But Wheeler did not lose composure and worked through the lack of support to make it to the bottom of the 5th. Not to say he was not emotional, but is was more Radke and less Garza. I didn't concentrate fully on the game with hot dogs, sodas, bathroom breaks, ice cream and the such to be dealt with but I did see enough to think that Wheeler has some promise. A lefty that could be a ground ball machine with an off speed out pitch who does not walk a lot of people, back of the rotation or BP at this point is where I see him in the Twins plans. I like his make up more then his arm after this evening. In speaking with him briefly he seems like a smart kid too that could learn to pitch and think. (Not Nuke LaLoosh out there.) If he could tack a few MPH on that fastball then we could have something, he has the frame to put some more accelaration behind the ball.
Last night he pitched in the Midwest League All Star blow out in Kane County. The final was East a lot and West not a lot. ( I think the East just scored again this morning.) The Snappers are in the West. Good news is the Snappers pitchers did not add the carnage of the night. Wheeler faced two batters and no surprise got both to ground out. He threw 7 pitches and 5 were strikes. Good outing on what must have been an exciting night for him. I wonder how much longer he will be at Beloit. He might be better served moving up to Fort Meyers within the month unless the Twins like the work Gary Lucas does down here.
Since I last wrote about Jason he has had some good times and some bad. June 25th against Kane County-good. 5 innings pitched, 2 runs neither earned, 3 strike outs and 2 walks, 4 hits and all the damage happening in the first inning. Jason was able to notch his 8th victory. June 30th, not good. Only 3 innings, shortest outing this year, 7 runs of which 4 were earned. 2 k's and one BB. He gave up a home run which is one of his 5 this year in 16 starts. His GO/AO rate is still 1.44 andt his sinker can still induce those bouncers to his infield, whether the infield catches and throws it on target is the question quite a few times. His WHIP has been rising along with the ERA one sits at 1.40 and the other 3.88.
Jason has also fallen into a bad trend of giving up early runs. In his last 4 starts he has given up 2 runs in the first inning each game, then in a couple he has followed it with a 3 run second in a couple of the games. Now some of these are on his D, but it is something I noticed in looking back at the last few games. Lets hope he can get through those early innings and move deeper into the game with less of a hole dug.
Nice outing for Jason on Friday the 6th as he beat the Lumberkings in Clinton for his 9th win of the Season. He gave up 3 runs, all earned, in 6 innings on 6 hits and 4 walks. That line is a bit of a worry, but he was able to work through the 10 base runners and hold Clinton to the 3 runs. He did not have his pattern on early runs repeat this evening as the runs came in the 4th and 5th Inning. Jason has had a pretty successful half season, it has been up and down a bit however the ups have far outweighed the downs for the big lefty. He has been the stalwart of the Snappers starting staff and has shown the ability to work out of jams created by a suspect infield defense, which for a ground ball pitcher can be the kiss of death. He still has things to work on and improve, but I am starting to wonder when he will get a shot at Fort Meyers. Would love to see him throw again, but having him join the Miracle would not be the overly disappointing.
Ten and Four. Pause and breath deep.There is a starting pitcher in the Organization with 10 wins for one team and his name is Jason Wheeler. Last night the Snappers Ace went 8 innings and gave up 2 runs on 5 runs, striking out 5 and walking one. The sinker was working with 11 groundouts versus 5 flyballs and he picked off a runner. Is it time for the 22 year old to move on up to Fort Meyers? Personally I would love him stay through the Play offs and give the Snappers a strong arm to start a game. But, I also know that we are just way stops on the trail and it is not always in the players best interest to stay. Minor league fans are always conflicted by this set of conflicting priorities.

They just posted the whole interview with Goebel, so here is the link. It seems like he had a lot to say.
They just posted the whole interview with Goebel, so here is the link. It seems like he had a lot to say.
I really liked this interview. He and Jenny, since they were contemporaries, have a nice open dialogue going on. He shares a TON of detail about how his financial contract with Frank worked (to which all I can say is WOW), and his perceptions of Michelle Kwan, his overtraining, etc. He really puts you in the mindset of what it's like to be a competitive skater.
In my spare time, I like to interview figure skating legends.
I find this funny because Tim spends quite a while talking about the seriousness of boot problems while last week Tai spent an equally long time talking about how she hates when the younger generations complain about boot problems.
The part about still having to stroke Frank checks after getting fired by him is incredible.
Tim's comment about not realizing you've peaked until you're already on the way down was pretty sad/enlightening. I really like how unfiltered he was here. I'm sure he has his issues with certain skaters/coaches, but he came across pretty even-handed in his candor.
Tim on Johnny Weir is too funny: "He will never age... He literally has a million-dollar face because he's probably put that much La Mer on it."
^^ Tim has a great sense of humor. I recall back at the time they had been touring COI, that Tim commented how Johnny is "one of the funniest" people he ever met. The whole discussion about Tim and Johnny rooming together when touring with COI was hilarious. I do kinda differ slightly from Tim's viewpoint about who Johnny is and how he presents himself today (you have to listen to entire podcast to hear Tim's comments on Johnny in response to a question by Dave ... it might be in Part 7, or 8).
IMO, Johnny tried as best he could to "fit in" with what was expected in the skating world while also trying to remain true to himself, and that was a difficult struggle for him, especially in his late teens and early 20s. Despite being rebellious and outspoken, I don't think Johnny felt the freedom and acceptance to truly be himself, so perhaps his rebellious persona (captured in the early Nats fluff pieces) was the tease and the protective mask. I think it was a long process of Johnny blossoming more as he achieved success on the ice and acceptance first from fans circa 2004 - 2006. His fans stuck with him during the high profile but very up-and-down years 2006 - 2010. And then as he began to gain larger acceptance outside of skating, partly as a result of the initial Pop Star on Ice documentary and post-2010 Olympic exposure, he did come more into his own re being unafraid to publicly explore and reveal all sides of himself. Some people feel that means Johnny changed his entire persona, but I disagree. Sure the documentary led to the television show which can lend itself to some self-conscious posturing. However, I think Johnny was pretty much always an odd, unique, witty and humorous person, even as a child before he ever became a figure skater. It's the limelight that sought out Johnny and he was likely always fated to sparkle.
It is too bad that it was partly Johnny's dislike for the hard work of training (not that he didn't train hard at times, he just didn't enjoy the process) and his difficulty with competition nerves as well as not being well-liked by TPTB which combined kept him from realizing his full potential. The reason Johnny accomplished as much as he did is because of his extraordinary talent and the hard work that he forced himself to do when everything was on the line 2003 - 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2009 - 2010. Johnny has worked pretty hard too in his recent comeback attempt, but as Tim accurately opined, it's d**n hard after age 25. BTW, the cooking show Johnny is currently appearing in was filmed in June 2012. I hope Johnny will concentrate on developing a fantastic skating extravaganza and doing work as a figure skating commentator, as well as joining with other veterans to figure out a way to create a viable professional tour.
ITA with Tim's assessments of Evan and Plushenko.
Sometimes the questions were so involved that all parts of a question didn't get answered, e.g. in Pt. 3, Jenny asked a long question, part of it about whether Frank had spoken with Tim before taking on Evan as a new student, and it didn't get specifically answered. But the main focus of the question was answered, and the questions were thoughtful and well-prepared. Tim gave very thoughtful and sincere answers. It's commendable for him to have admitted that his own insecurities played a part in his eventual break-up with Frank.

Lot of good questions and answers. I thought there would be a more direct question to him about transitioning from 6.0 to IJS as an individual. There was so much interesting stuff there. I watched this before tai but will watch that next. The topic of the American federation and coaches with the men and their technical content was good. But also the women too. Like he is another skater that says the idea of having a jump but just holding it until you "need it" is just not a recipe for success with that jump or combo. His talking about himself and his decline is pretty sad really. But he talks about everything pretty directly.
There are a ton of fascinating things throughout the whole podcast with Tim, but I found his thoughts on the commentators (i.e. Dick & Peggy) interesting. He feels like they were very unprofessional, unfair, and did damage to skaters' careers!
I liked his comment about how you have to train off the ice otherwise your body will become asymmetrical. I remember putting on a bathing suit one summer and realizing that my right hip and thigh (I jump and spin counterclockwise) were more developed than the left. I was just a recreational skater! I've never heard anyone else mention that! I would think it would create orthopedic problems for a high level skater.
I couldn't find any clips past part 8, but that didn't seem to be the end. Are the rest not uploaded or did I miss something?

There is a part 9 and that's it. Also apparently " fridge break " makes a lot if skaters or symbolises why a lot of skaters hate Buttons commentary
This interview is great. So insightful and honest. I wonder how long Frank continues to take a cut of ex skaters earnings for after they leave/get fired...
Yeah so did goebel have season contracts that ended after worlds or was it like a multi season or was it in the contract that whatever new deal goebel got while being coached by him that he always got money as long as goebel did.
I think he had seasonal contracts... he mentions signing contracts in June..
I am a bit confused on the part about still having to pay Frank. How in the world could Frank hold Tim to a contract if Frank fired him or was the one who decided to end the partnership. It sounds like Tim agreed it was time to move on but if Frank initiated things then how can he hold Tim to anything? I don't understand that. It borders on fraud, if you ask me. Also, Tim didn't make it clear how long he had to keep giving Frank a portion of his earnings? I hope it was only for the remainder of the season, which it sounds like is how long the contracts were good for.
I find it incredibly interesting that no one knows what happened between Kwan and Frank. The great skating mystery shall live on. lol
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
On a different note, Tim's response to the Tonia Kwaitkowski question was unexpected. Not that I disagreed with him, it just sort of took me off guard that that was the context in which he chose to respond to the question about her. Plus I could not stop laughing when he described Nicole Bobek's lutz entrance as a "fan kick."
In the linked interview with manleywoman, Tim talks about the time he served as an ISU technical specialist, and he discusses skaters' "as-it-was-happening" reactions to the 2002 Olympics scandal. He's thoughtful and he has a great sense of humor.
In the interview with Jenny and Dave, I think Tim provided great insight re the quad dilemma for U.S. skaters, as well as fresh perspective on why international skaters have gotten the jump on that extra revolution over U.S. skaters.
When he left skating, Tim seemed very bitter, disillusioned and down on himself, so it's great to see that his transition to college and real life has given him enough distance for a more clear-sighted and balanced perspective, although of course, some skating incidents still hold a lot of emotion. Ironically, he was becoming a more well-rounded skater presentation-wise when his career began to stall, but still he had already achieved great success. Not everyone has an Olympic bronze medal and two World silver medals. He also won six medals at senior Nationals (one gold, four silver, and one bronze).
Tim's response re the mystery surrounding Michelle Kwan's break-up with Frank Carroll simply shows how discreet MK and Frank have been about their former coach/ student relationship. They had a pretty deep connection despite Frank always being cognizant of the importance of trying to separate emotions and treat the relationship like a business partnership. It may have been the deep connection that in the end got in the way of whatever on-ice decision-making conflicts they had leading up to 2002 Olympics.
I don't think Tim nor Jenny and Dave were blanket criticizing anyone but just pointing out the powerful influences of some commentators and the hurtfulness of some remarks. They mentioned "ABC commentators," as well as Hamilton's conflict of interest re commenting on skaters with IMG contracts who eventually signed with SOI. They referenced the "refrigerator break" comment which I remember but did not recall in detail, so I looked it up.
Here's a link to Dick Button's take on the notorious comment:
I think Tim makes a good point, but so does Dick. It's true that broadcasters' commentary can be hurtful and have a negative impact on a skater's career. But perhaps if accepted with an eye to how one might improve their skating, Dick's criticisms might have sometimes been helpful, if not always diplomatically phrased. Tim spoke at one point in the podcast about the need for the sport to not "sugarcoat" behind-the-scenes realities, and Dick states in the linked article/NPR interview he has never "meant any harm," but that he's "adamant about not sugarcoating what he sees on the ice." Therefore Tim and Dick seem to agree about the importance of abstaining from "sugarcoating."
In any case, Angela N during her career was definitely "a talented, elegant skater" with perhaps the best layback position in the business (which Dick praised on many occasions). And once she gained confidence under coach, Elena T, Angela truly blossomed and "commanded attention" as a skater, just as Dick stated he "knew" she had the ability to do.
In the NPR audio broadcast, it's funny to hear Dick "tearing apart" and criticizing his own famous skating performances as "not very good," etc.

I think what Tim was trying to get across is that skaters are young and they don't have the perspective of the seasoned adults. A coach like Frank may have taken Button's comments in stride and fixed what he could and ignored the rest (afterall Button is a "performer" himself when he is broadcasting), but to a teen who probably has very little life outside of the rink it would be devastating to be publicly criticized by a skating icon.
Ditto the split with Frank. Frank has probably been through it many times before but to a teen it smacks of major rejection by a skating icon. Tim now realizes he did the same thing to Carol Heiss, but back then he was a beginner at adult relationships and had probably never considered that the relationship was a two-way street.
Tim's comment was that it would be easier for the young skaters to bounce back from these experiences if they knew that other people were going through the same thing. That is why he chose to go public with his experiences rather than just utter the accepted cliches.
It is also easier for him to do it than Frank, because skating is no longer his livelihood.
It sounds as if Frank arranged to send him to Audrey Weisinger since Tim mentions that she was the only other person who knew about the split when he was at NHK. I could see Frank delegating the day to day supervision to another coach if he and his student were no longer getting along, but Weisinger was on the opposite coast. I don't see how Frank could have been construed as being involved with him by any stretch of the imagination.
I believe Tim had to pay a percentage of everything he earned through June 2005 when his year-long contract w/ Frank was up (even though he was fired by Frank in Nov 2004). He was still making decent money at the time, but the extra cut for Frank was tough because Audrey, Lori and his agent were also getting a percentage.

Been awhile since I bothered posting here but the above quote intrigued me
It would explain quite a lot about why Erfworld seems to be an amalgamation of things that are familiar to Parson. If someone from his world got there first, someone with Charlie's power, then all the vague references would make sense. We don't know what all powers the dish has, and for all we know it could have changed the physical rules in Erfworld to things that were familiar or amusing to Charlie (for example the onomatopoeias that happen). Which would explain why the thinkamancers feel he is such a threat

Dose anybody think that a set of SDA1C's needs a sub for 2 channel music?? The only reason i ask is Pearsall, seems to think i'm missing something. Indeed his system is big and massive..but geared to HT stuff, altho he dose play stereo music on it. He dose say this may be personal preference but states in electronic theory and this and that it's needed. So OK...I can understand if your running a tower speaker...ok you may need some help on the bass. But SDA's are NOT tower speakers. The 1C's don't need help on bass at all.(at least in my opinion)
To come close to the bass the 1C's put out, i would have to pay 500+ easy for a used sub.
So i guess i'm missing something in the thinking here, or...he is just wrong, or he likes massive bass or something else. It is possible that a 1K sub may give you some more "accurate" bass....but i'm not really sure your could hear the difference......
Just asking, but i don't see the $$$ value in a sub on 1C's for 2 channel. If anyone has a different point, please say it.

Understanding Process Variation with Control Charts
This article, by Isaac Newton, author of Minitab Cookbook, will help you understand the different process variations that can be done in control charts using Minitab. Control charts are very simple graphical tools which show us if measurements/results are stable over time. They look at the mean and variation of the data and check to see whether the observed data shows any patterns that would not be expected to occur if the data was purely random. This special cause variation is indicated by tests that look for these patterns. They are based on there being a low probability of these patterns occurring randomly. Minitab provides a wide range of control charts for different scenarios. These include the standard control charts for monitoring a process over time such as Xbar-R or I-MR charts as well as multivariate control charts and charts to plot rare events. Now, we will look at using some of the more traditional charts, but also show the use of some of the newer charts in Minitab.Read Understanding Process Variation with Control Charts in full

Whether it's for closing your next big sale or just shopping a big sale, your home computer is the heart of your home office. You'll need a window treatment that can prevent reflections, glare and shadows from making it impossible to see what's on your computer screen. Here are some ideas for getting the right office window treatments.
Look for window treatments that offer flexible light control solutions - wood blinds and shutters are a great choice since the horizontal louvers can be positioned to let in as much or as little light as you need. Light filtering cellular shades or solar screens will softly and evenly filter light to cut glare and heat gain from direct sunlight.
As with any room in your home, you should consider the aesthetic of your office when choosing a window treatment. Choose a shade that is conducive to your work environment. While a wood product is a popular choice for home offices, a fabric treatment can soften the mood and a solar screen can help open up the space.
