Its bee a long time since I posted. Here is a logo slate animation that I am working on for my short film I just finished. I wanted some feedback while its still in the early stages. A girl turns around then a sound catches her attention and she pulls out a gun while turning then fires. The logo appears as the gun residue on the wall.

Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools

If Joe and Vicky had known what relocating to a tiny mountain village in Andalucia would be like, they might have hesitated...
They have no idea of the culture shock in store. No idea they'll become reluctant chicken farmers and own the most dangerous cockerel in Spain. No idea they'll help capture a vulture or be rescued by a mule.
Will they stay, or return to the relative sanity of England?

As I mentioned in my previous post, I have fallen in love with the girls on the Forever Young cart. After cutting them 4″ girls for the thank you cards and also making them at 3″ for some other cards I was playing with, I had to play with them at a larger size. I created this darling page with a doll cut at 9″, and I think I love her even more than I did the little ones. I have also been forcing myself to "Use my Stash," So I used a bit of Basic Grey that I have been hoarding, and I think it was the first time a successfully integrated the BG stickers that come in those fabulous paper packs into my layout! Woo Hoo!
Also a big walloping "Thank You" to my brother. Gregg's kids are the subject of most of my scrapbook pages; He also for took the picture on this layout and the picture of the layout.

The race, which took place on Sunday, September 13, 2009 at Tysons Corner Sport & Health Club in McLean, VA, was originally organized in 2004 by the wife, children and friends of Harry Freedman, an accomplished athlete who lost his leg in a worksite accident. The original purpose of the race was to benefit Harry – Super 'H' himself – with a state-of-the-art sport prosthetic leg. In just a few short years however, the event has gained national attention and grown into the Super H 5K Run, Walk and Wheel, a physical feat open to those of quite diverse abilities – runners, walkers, hand cyclists, moms pushing strollers, and those punching the rims of sleek, aerodynamic racing wheelchairs.
Today, the event continues to raise substantial funds for the NRH/DC Chapter of BlazeSports America, a national, community-based sports program for children and adults with physical disabilities. This year, the race proceeds will provide financial support for adaptive equipment, facilities rental, competition travel and other expenses. In addition, the Super H race will enable NRH BlazeSports teams to host regular clinics to open the world of sports to individuals with disabilities.
"So many people were there to help me in rebuilding my life," says Freedman. "I want them to know how important it was to me, and we want to make sure there is someone there to help the children who need us now."
Major sponsors for this year's Super H 5K Run, Walk & Wheel included MetroStar Systems, Darren Starr Productions, Tri-Union Express, and many more.
This year's first runner across the finish line and top male finisher, age 19 and over, was Ted Poulous of McLean, VA. Poulous posted a time of 19:14. Other top finishers included Tara Tredennick of Silver Spring, MD, the top female finisher, age 19 and up, with a time of 25:08. Top male and female finishers under age 17 included: Mark Joyce, age 17, of Arlington, VA (22:25) and Marissa Gitler, 17, of Vienna, VA (25:00). (Click here for the complete results.)
Just because the Super H 5K for 2009 is over, doesn't mean you can't still get involved, especially if you have a disability or know someone who is disabled and wants to stay active. Visit our Sports & Recreation section to learn more.

Bicyclist killed after collision with dump truck
Jeremy Papasso | Boulder Daily Camera
Eugene Philip Howrey, 73, was thrown about 36 feet from the impact, said Cpl. Eric Wynn with the Colorado State Patrol. He was declared dead at the scene. He had been wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
Howrey, known as Phil to friends and family, moved from the Ann Arbor area to Boulder several years ago.

Loven was driving west on Lefthand Canyon Road, while Howrey was riding east, Wynn said. The truck hit Howrey's bike as Loven attempted to turn left onto southbound Olde Stage Road shortly after noon, he said. Howrey swerved to try to avoid the crash, he said. The investigation is continuing, and no charges have been filed, Wynn said.
Howrey's wife, Sharon, was riding with her husband when the crash occurred, Howrey's son, Mark, said today.
Loven was convicted two years ago for his role in a road rage incident with a cyclist in the same area where the fatal crash occurred, the Daily Camera in Boulder reported today. Loven was ticketed on suspicion of reckless endangerment in 2009 after a cyclist said Loven used his truck to push him into oncoming traffic, The Daily Camera reported. He pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge, the newspaper said.
Mark Howrey said today the fatal accident was all the more shocking because his dad was extremely safety conscious.
"I remember as a kid we always had to wear helmets even when no one else was," said Howrey, who now lives in the Boston area.
Frank Lamitola, a member of the Ann Arbor Bicycle Touring Society, who went on many rides with Howrey during the years, seconded that.
"He was the safest rider I've ever ridden with," he said today. "We rode tandem together quite a bit. He was constantly scanning the area and checking the intersections. He knew exactly how to handle a tandem."
Mark Howrey said today the family never worried about his father's safety while riding.
"It was very shocking and it still is shocking, but he died doing what he loved best, and we're all thankful that it was very quick and painless."
Howrey was one of about a dozen charter members who more than 30 years ago formed the Ann Arbor Bicycle Touring Society, a prominent biking club that organizes daily group rides for road and mountain bike enthusiasts as well as participating in in-state and out-of-state tours.
"The articles of incorporation were signed on our dining room table," Mark Howrey said.
Though Mark Howrey no longer rides himself, he has fond memories of growing up in a bicycle-riding family
"I remember the early times of the breakfast rides on Saturday morning, when we all met at the Gandy Dancer before riding out to Dexter. And it was just special family time." The club still conducts those Saturday Morning Breakfast Rides to Dexter and beyond.
Howrey also spread the love of cycling to his three stepchildren, Howrey said.
Fellow riders fondly remember Howrey's enthusiasm and endurance for his sport. Riding tandem, Howrey and Lamitola participated in several 24-hour challenge rides in Michigan, gradually improving their performance until they came in first.
AABTS member Dieter Hohnke recalls participating in a late-season ride called The Hills of Ann Arbor. It was cold and snowing as they finished the November ride, Hohnke said.
"When I had done the rounds and I was happy to go home, Phil said let's do it again." And he did, this time by himself.
"He was just a great guy," Lamitola said. "I'm really going to miss him because it was just a wonderful time we've had on bikes. I'm at a loss for words.

Chiapa de Corzo was the first official Spanish settlement in present-day Chiapas. Originally called Villa Real, and later Chiapa de Indios, it was founded in 1528 on the banks of the Río Grijalva by conquistador Diego de Mazariegos, following the bloody subjugation of the dominant Chiapa indigenous people.
The Chiapanecs, a warrior people who had themselves conquered the native Zoques around A.D. 1000, held off better-armed Spanish invaders for four years, and many are said to have thrown themselves from the Sumidero Canyon walls rather than be captured. Within a month of the city's founding, however, rampant disease forced Mazariegos to move the new capital upland to present-day San Cristóbal.
Some settlers remained, however, and the city slowly grew, establishing vast cacao and sugarcane plantations, and eventually was selected, in 1545, as the site of a major Dominican mission. The city adopted its current name in 1888 in honor of Ángel Albino Corzo, a revered municipal president.

Fresh Cut: Campfires – 'Tomorrow, Tomorrow' LP
We're very excited to give you a 1-week early bird preview of Campfires' debut full-length, Tomorrow, Tomorrow. Stream the wholesome and sometimes twangy 13-track release, and read what Campfires' Jeff Walls had to say about the album below.
From Jeff Walls of Campfires:
'Tomorrow, Tomorrow' is the first really proper record I've ever set out to do, so I think it's got some pacing and cohesion that is new for Campfires stuff. There's a story and recurring characters and everything, all sort of loosely based on friends or people I knew in Chicago. As it goes through it tells the story of this sort of fictionalized version of these people going through their lives in the city. The themes are death, drugs, love, and uncertainty. I recorded it all in Portland in my practice space except for a sample or two that I've been kicking around for awhile. While I was recording it I was listening to a lot of Kinks, Velvets, Television Personalities, and some old garage comps so I think you can hear that stuff rattling around on there.
Pre-order Tomorrow, Tomorrow on limited-edition 12″ wax (including hand screen printed jackets) via Fire Talk Recs.

Microsoft confuses the masses with new Seinfeld ad
Comment | Print | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
Reports claim that Microsoft spent $300 million on its latest Windows Vista ad campaign starring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates.
What is the best they could come up with? Seinfeld and Gates go to a local mall and buy shoes together with Jerry weighing in on his opinion on which shoe size will fit Gates best? Yeah...
Sure, if you read between the lines strange quotes, one might hazard a guess at what they are getting at but for the average Joe, it won't mean much at all. Why don't you see for yourself:
See, what did I tell you? That was a Windows Vista logo right at the end.

A community of peers created by the Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation
Hi Darlin,
I'm thinking of you and your kids today, and hoping you get some time to yourself.
I met you in the chat room one evening and was planning to purchase your book at Camp Widow. Instead, I decided I'd rather read it before meeting you and I'm so happy I did. Haven't finished it just yet - it takes me so much longer to read a book these days - but I love your writing. While my experience is nothing like yours, I am thoroughly enjoying your book. I've cried with you, gotten angry with you, laughed with you ... and I'm currently at the "dating Brian" point.
Well, I built it from a package... kind of like cooking from Trader Joe's, yanno? :-)
I mean, THANK YOU!!! :-)

"The overall outlook for Brazil in terms of the prospects for closer ties and collaboration with UK business, leading to greater investment from the UK, looks very positive indeed,"
Ed Hudson, head of Brazil Business Services
The Brazil Effect: UK Companies Tap into Brazil's Commercial Potential
Brazil is one of the most dynamic and innovative countries in the world and one of the biggest economies in terms of GDP. As one of the BRIC-M nations and South America's leading power, its presence on the world stage has been boosted in the last 10 years, attracting exporters and investors from all over the globe.
Indeed, the present Brazilian government has been proactively working to attract inward investment and partnerships by visiting target countries and receiving foreign delegations.
While Brazil's export growth may have slowed in the last year, its internal market remains buoyant. International car manufacturers, pharma companies and technology firms have long-since realised, and tapped into, the myriad opportunities it presents.
UK business is no exception in this regard. In August, Ernst & Young's first annual Brazilian Attractiveness Survey showed that the UK is now the second largest investor into Brazil after the US.
The business services sector in Brazil attracted the largest number of projects (17 in total — 38% of total UK FDI projects) from the UK in 2011. However, the most lucrative UK investments, in terms of value and job creation, were in the mining and metals industry, boosted by the US$5b (£3.1bn) investment by Mir Steel UK into a joint venture with Cosipar, the Brazilian pig iron producer, in 2011.
Prospects in Brazil are set to intensify in the coming years thanks to two major global sporting events: the World Cup in 2014 and the Rio Olympics in 2016.
As such, swathes of infrastructure are now needed in Brazil from stadia to airports and ports, along with the external expertise to plan, deliver and build the huge numbers of individual projects that are on the drawing board or already underway. In fact, it's estimated that the World Cup and the Olympics present opportunities for UK companies worth an estimated £47billion.
Take the north east's Pernambuco state, which has 14 planned new cities alone. No wonder this is the country's fastest-growing region, requiring architects, urban mobility planners, sustainable construction experts and construction companies.
BG Group: www.bg-group.com
Burberry: www.burberryplc.com
EM&I: www.emialliance.com
Ernst & Young: www.ey.com
JCB: www.jcb.com
Natures Purest: www.naturespurest.co.uk
Oxitec: www.oxitec.com
Oil and Gas
Yet it's the entire country that has been benefiting from foreign investment. UK construction equipment manufacturer JCB, for example, recently opened a £63million factory in Sao Paulo, in the south, after the company agreed a deal with the Brazilian government to supply it with more than 1,000 machines worth over £60million.
The JCB factory will mainly be concerned with the production of excavators and backhoe loaders which will be used to improve road infrastructure across Brazil. Carlos Hernandez, Managing Director of JCB Brazil, said: "These JCB machines will play a big role in improving the infrastructure nationwide and ultimately ensure produce from family farms gets to its destination quickly".
In recent years, Brazil's oil and gas industry has been growing at an exponential rate, and with this expansion comes demands for deepwater drilling platforms. The UK's BG Group plc — a world leader in natural gas — has major interests in Brazil. In February, BG Group announced that its gross production from the Santos Basin, off the Brazilian coast, has already reached some 30 million boe (barrel of oil equivalent). Its first permanent FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading unit) on the basin's Lula field — currently connected to three wells — has produced some 15 million boe in total to date. The Group expects that one billion boe will be produced through the life of the Lula field.
Then there is EM&I, an asset integrity, inspection and specialised repair and maintenance company, providing services to the oil, gas and energy industries. In September, EM&I and Odebrecht Oil & Gas (OOG) announced a partnership which will deliver contracts worth over £20million with a potential of over £70million, creating and sustaining jobs in both the UK and Brazil. The alliance will have a particular focus on floating production. "We are pleased to be operating in Brazil, one of the world's fastest growing economies," said EM&I CEO, Danny Constantinis. "One of the largest growth sectors in Brazil is floating production, an area in which EM&I are in position to be a key player."
Ports transformation
Ports in Brazil are also being transformed. For example, Suape Port and Industrial Complex, located between Ipojuca and Cabo de Santo Agostinho in Pernambuco state, has been undergoing the biggest modernisation and expansion project in its 30 year history, aiming to position Suape as a distribution centre of goods and services of the oil, gas, offshore and shipping industry. As a result, the Petrobras refinery and petrochemical plant is currently under construction at the complex.
Suape Port is also the location of the largest shipyard in the southern hemisphere — with another nine shipyards planned — plus a food processing cluster, steel mills and a wind energy cluster, underlining the Government's determination to make wind an investment priority. Other major ports in Brazil include Santos Port, the largest port in Brazil; and the ports of Rio de Janeiro, including the new super ports of Acu and Sudest.
The creative sector is new to Brazil and relatively small — accounting for 2.5 per cent of Brazilian GDP — but it has grown by around 500 per cent in the last 10 years and is particularly strong in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In fact, the Federation of Industries of Rio de Janeiro (FIRJAN) is starting to map the creative sector, which offers opportunities to UK companies in design, games, digital media and fashion.
Brazil is also the world's 12th largest music market, with the recording industry growing by 8.5% between 2010 and 2011. And thanks to the disposable incomes of Brazil's burgeoning middle-class, the consumer goods sector — such as cosmetics, food and drink, textiles, white goods, cars and luxury products — is increasing rapidly. Burberry, for instance, has had particular success in Brazil, opening stores in Brasilia and Sao Paulo, while Natures Purest, the UK natural baby care products company, is set to open its third store in Rio. Brazilian people are very brand aware, with established companies having the most chance of succeeding in this market.
In the Education Sector, the Government is keen to invest in vocational and technical courses in Brazilian Portuguese, and is also supporting a Science without Borders programme of scholarships to promote the consolidation and expansion of science, technology and innovation in Brazil "through international exchange and mobility". Plus, opportunities are available in ICT for Education in the private education sector, and in English Language Training.
Dealing with challenges
Brazil is becoming a centre for biotechnology, too, utilising British expertise and innovation. Oxitec, a British biotech company, has been collaborating with Brazilian companies to transfer new technologies developed in the UK to fight dengue fever. In July, Oxitec formally opened a new facility, attended by the Minister of Health of Brazil, Alexandre Padilha.
"The UK is a world leader in new science-based technologies and we should be looking to export this expertise to high growth markets, such as Brazil, and turn it into commercial success," said Hadyn Parry, Oxitec CEO. "Brazil has a technologically sophisticated regulatory regime ready to take up the challenge of new scientific approaches."
The Brazilian market does offer challenges for UK companies. Brazil's tax regime is complex, import charges are high, labour regulations are strict and poor infrastructure and bureaucracy can create bottlenecks. In Ernst and Young's Brazilian Attractiveness Survey, improving education and training in new systems and technologies topped the list of reforms that UK investors felt the Brazilian government needed to make, in order to improve innovation.
Yet Brazil can be a profitable market to operate in. Its people are friendly, helpful, open and keen to foster good business and personal relationships; and, culturally, the UK and Brazil share many similar values.
"The overall outlook for Brazil in terms of the prospects for closer ties and collaboration with UK business, leading to greater investment from the UK, looks very positive indeed," says Ed Hudson, head of Brazil Business Services at Ernst & Young in the UK. "Progressing some of these projects is not without its challenges. But if Brazil can start to address and introduce some of the reforms that both UK and global investors say are required, the opportunities are tremendous."

Of the four national forests in North Carolina, Croatan is the only one located along the coast and is the only true coastal forest east of the Mississippi. Croatan National Forest protects nearly 160,000 acres of pine forests, saltwater estuaries, bogs and pocosins; in particular, the pocosin ecosystems essentially raised swamplands are unique geological features of this forest. Bordered on the north by the Neuse River, on the south by Bogue Sound, and on the west by the White Oak River, activities include swimming, canoeing, boating, and fishing. Distance
Croatan National Forest is roughly 260 miles from Charlotte, about a 5-hour drive, one way.
To see and do
Croatan National Forest, established in 1936, protects stands of old growth beech and oaks, virgin longleaf pines and cypress. There are several access points, each offering different amenities. The Neuse River Campground is situated on a bluff overlooking the river and has hot showers, flush toilets, and some electric hook-ups. Flanners Beach, located here, beckons swimmers.
There are 43 miles of trails for hiking and nature walks.
The 3-mile Neuse River Trail, rated easy, appeals to both hikers and mountain bike riders. The Cedar Point Campground features the Tideland Trail. This National Recreation Trail has gravel paths, raised walkways and boardwalks. It is rated easy: The trail is level, wide enough for wheelchairs, and has numerous benches for resting and viewing. Along this trail, you may spot egrets, deer, and herds of fiddler crabs. A 0.6-mile loop trail edges and crosses a salt marsh; interpretive signs along the way provide information about this vital ecosystem. A 1.3-mile loop trail connecting to this shorter loop skirts the edge of the White Oak River, crosses over the marsh, and passes through the woods.
Picnic facilities are near the campground; a boat ramp at Cedar Point provides easy access to the Intracoastal Waterway. Neusiok is Croatans longest trail, running 21 miles from north to south through the eastern portion of the forest, traversing pine stands and swampland; it is a part of North Carolinas Mountain-to-Sea Trail.
Unique to Croatan is the Saltwater Adventure Trail at Brices Creek. The canoe trail is suitable for novices. Anglers, meanwhile, can test their skills along rivers, creeks, lakes, and marshes; catfish, perch, flounder, and largemouth bass are common.
Although Croatan National Forest has many pleasant recreational opportunities, it is also home to some truly wild wildlife, including black bears, alligators, and eastern diamondback rattlesnakes. In warmer months, chiggers, ticks, mosquitoes, and deer flies are plentiful. Even some of the plants seem inhospitable such carnivorous species as Venus flytrap, butterwort, pitcher plant, and sundew grow here. You also need to recognize and guard against patches of poison ivy.

Seriously, Candice and Amber owned everyone else in the competition last night. Need I say more??? They both looked and sounded amazing. Way, way, way above the rest.
That being said, I still like Kree a whole lot. She is beautiful and has a lovely voice. Also, I have a weird love for Paul Jolley. I love his theatrics...is it just me? Maybe because I love musicals, but I think he is cool. :) And another favorite is Angie. She had an amazing voice and looked gorgeous last night. But get back on the piano, girl.
Who are you loving so far? Who did you like last night?? Xo!
This was my first time watching the guys sing, and let me sum up the night with a single word: underwhelming!!! Seriously, the girls are going to kick butt this year if this is what the guys have to offer. There wasn't one guy who truly stood out to be special and worth rooting for yet.
That being said, Nick and Lazaro were the most enjoyable performances for me, followed by Curtis and Paul Jolley. And don't even get me started on how super scared I am of Charlie Askew. Um, who decided to put that creep through?!
What were your thoughts of last night's show?? Xo!
I have always been a huge fan of American Idol. This season, however, I have not been keeping up with it like I usually do. Since I am not a big fan of the tryouts, I decided to start watching the show as of last night. So my picks are truly based on their singing ability and not their popularity on the show thus far, which is actually kind of fun!!
My three favorites from last night are Angie, Amber and Kree. They were fantastic singers and each gave me goosebumps!!! I think they all seemed special in a way, different from current singers and they all seemed to be able to fit into today's music marketplace! My two other picks for the top five would have to be the cute country blonde Janelle and the powerhouse singer Candice. No one else really did much for me.
Who were your picks last night??? I am now dying to watch the boys sing tonight and can't wait for Thursday's result show!!!! I am definitely happy to be watching the show again. :) xo!

Some good commentary this week from Russell in The PDA is Dead, Long Live the Smartphone.
Latest from Gartner is that Smartphone sales are soaring, eagle-like, into the ether, with an increase in sales of 75%. During the same period, PDA sales barely rose 5%, with Palm not even bothering to launch a new model in 2006 at all. Their renewed focus on the Treo sends out its own message that it really is Game Over for this sector. The smartphone sector is now 4 times as big as PDAs and this trend will now accelerate to the extinction of PDAs as a category.
Certainly, if you live in the US (or certainly Canada,) you could be excused for thinking that Blackberrys and Treos are the only PDAs around. But when you speak to educators, follow educational technology trends or visit certain other parts of the world—it's a different story. (I only know South East Asia. I'd love to hear about PDA use in BRIC nations, Africa and the Middle East if anyone has some data handy.) Walking around Bangkok, I see lots of people everyday sitting in public places using PDAs. And by 'using' I mean everything from making voice calls to doing homework with friends, having meetings with colleagues or or surfing on a bench in front of a known wi-fi hotspot. There's also lots of choice here. I bought a lower-end HP last week but there are also Dopods, O2s, iMates, Lenovos, Asus, Gigabytes (from Taiwan—very interesting product line) Samsungs, Fujitsu-Siemens, the odd smaller regional brand as well as the obligatory hybrid devices like the Treo, Blackberry, Sony Ericsson's P990i and Nokia E series. Last time I was in Malaysia and Singapore, it was about the same. Lots of models, lots of usage on the street.
Still—call it a smartphone, PDA, Ultra Mobile PC, hybrid or something else—what we really need is a device that fills the space the PDA occupied (assuming you agree it is at risk of extinction.) The educational community continues to buy PDAs by the thousands all over the world because they're super flexible and therefore make the most sense in a learning context. And—whether you believe education is a viable market segment or not—it's that very combination of features that educators and students find useful that make me wonder if the PDA is going anywhere at all—or if bigger, better smartphones are really the alternative.
The average PDA feature list can be daunting compared to the average smartphone: (especially in my opinion the first 3)
- Hackable O/S: By this I simply mean that there is the ability to create and distribute applications for the device without affiliation with the OEM or an operator. Huge advantage when compared to the overall smartphone category at the moment.
- Less Fragmentation: Whether you care for Microsoft or not, the fact that many PDAs now use the Pocket PC platform is a huge plus. (Pocket PC had about 52% market share in 2006 followed by 22% for RIM and 13% for the soon to be Linux PalmSource/Access OS.) Screen sizes are also pretty consistent as are input mechanisms.
- Application EcoSystem: I'm always amazed at the sheer number and variety of applications available for the PDA. Some are 'mom and pop', others more sophisticated but you have so much choice compared to smartphone applications.
- Large and/or VGA screen, touch screen and stylus: Making usage much easier and providing more options for developers when creating UI and interaction widgets. Also makes the device more usable in certain accessibility scenarios (though potentially less usable if manual dexterity is an issue.)
- Navi-Pad: All the PDAs i've seen lately have one of these too which allows for backup stylus-less interaction when needed and can be useful when playing games.
- Off the rack memory card: Never mind all the reduced-reduced sized MMC cards and ever changing formats. Most PDAs still seem to take SD cards.
- Bluetooth: Now fairly common.
- Wi-fi and browser: I have the pre-installed Windows browser and also downloaded Opera. The wi-fi is easy to connect to and also allows for use of IM and VOIP clients.
- Media Players: Not an expert here but most PDAs can play video, audio (often also record audio) and some flavour of Flash content. There's also SVG support in some browsers.
- Common Document Support: Multiple versions of Office document readers, PowerPoint viewers, Acrobat PDF, Piscel, E-Book readers. Some are proprietary but the ability to transfer and make meaningful use of documents is quite high.
- Keyboard and Text Input: On screen QWERTY equivalents, dockable or Bluetooth keyboard. Also 'graffiti' style handwriting recognition on many devices.
- Built-In Telephony: Not all PDAs have this of course but many do, and not having to be tied to an operator can sometimes be a good thing
- Camera/Video Capabilities: Here again, not available across the board.
- Data Synchronization: I find this a blessing and a curse but many people love it and it certainly can be useful in business and learning scenarios where the PDA is used during the day—in lieu of a laptop—then synched up at night.
- Decent Battery: Ok, I know this is one of the criticisms but they have improved and i'm guessing some of the high end smartphones are no better when used for video and the like.
[FYI-Gartner defines a PDA as a "data-centric handheld computer weighing less than one pound that is primarily designed for use with both hands. These devices use an open market operating system supported by third-party applications that can be added into the device by end users. They offer instant on/off capability and synchronization of files with a PC. A PDA may offer WAN support for voice, but these are data-first, voice-second devices. Smartphones offer all the attributes of a PDA, except that smartphones are voice-centric and are designed for primarily a one-handed operation."]
So of course 'hybrid' and 'convergence' enthusiasts will proclaim that we can cram all this stuff into a smartphone and maybe we can (or already have)—but should we?
For every person who staunchly says "I only want one device" I still see lots of people still carrying a phone + a separate mp3 player, a PDA, a laptop, an Game Boy—or yet another phone. Part of that choice is likely economics but the remainder is often a personal choice to use (and choose) a device that helps you do something you like to do, does this well—and makes you feel good doing it. Even hybrid devices, are still designed to fill some sort of consumer niche!
When you look at the some of the more sought after smartphones, it's pretty clear that somewhere along the way, the OEM decided they were making a niche device—be it media (N Series), business (E Series, Q,) fashion (Razr, L'Amour,) gaming (NGage) etc. Of course the telephony part is a given since it is after all a phone. But once you get past that—it's probably lifestyle and productivity features (be they work or play) that actually sell the phone.
It's about user wants & needs. They don't have to carry all devices at all times—they can pick & choose, just as most of us do now. I make a decision about which of my 2 main phones, my PC, my iPod or my digital camera to carry. Sometimes I take one device, sometimes four or five. Sometimes none.
Plus you're missing the core consumer argument that people like having more stuff.
In product markets, divergence is almost always more important than convergence. I bet most people have more electrical items in their kitchens now than 30 years ago, despite washers & driers "converging" in many cases. Convergence has occurred in basic enablers: common electricity & water supply, and scale economies in motors, controllers & other components. It hasn't occurred at a product level – my microwave, dishwasher, and, yes, toaster again are not integrated. It's possible, but there's no demand. And this is despite the huge increase in house prices which should put a premium on compactness to fit appliances in a smaller kitchen. [Dean Bubley, via Forum Oxford on a well debated similar topic]
Plus, for every additional lifestyle feature you enable an effort to make a truly 'all purpose device,' (qwerty keyboard, gaming control, larger screen, high end video) the less useable or practical the phone may end up being for its primary purpose—being a phone. (Remember the original NGage 'taco' phone By comparison, the PDA is already pretty good at what it's trying to do. And with wireless connectivity one may argue that many PDAs don't really need to be phones anyhow. (Certainly in the case of the educational community—having to activate hundreds of SIMs, negotiate group plans and keep track of data usage is a growing problem. Lots easier to get a slightly cheaper PDA, use the extra cash to buy more memory and peripherals, then take advantage of VOIP and wi-fi to communicate.)
In some ways, the PDA is at a turning point. It may evolve into a smartphone niche device or simply remain a PDA (one that sometimes includes telephony features.) What may likely tell the tale is the PDA users themselves. The same person who now chooses a PDA for what it does best will still want—and expect—its smartphone successor to offer the same features and flexibility—some of which smartphones can't currently offer! And as a niche smartphone device, will it really begin address the needs of some of its current sub-niche groups as certain PDAs do?
If not, I bet there will be a lot of people walking around grumbling about the 'good old days' of the PDA

The fascination started in high school – on a browse for "surreal desktop wallpapers". One day, I stumbled upon a decent jpg, and then before I knew it, I began collecting and saving Absolut ads on my computer.
So, here begins an: (kudos if you can read the fine print [no pun intended])
Over the years, I've been trying to figure out why I've loved them so much- whether they were genuinely generated by Absolut or by other artists putting their own spin on the ads.
I think it stems from the belief that I'm as adept as a 2-month old baby when it comes to drawing. In kindergarten, my arts and crafts teacher told me she was disappointed with my lack of skill during an origami session, since I'd ask her for help every class. Therefore, since I was "bad" at art, I hated it as a kid and dismissed it as boring. It wasn't until I took an art history class (why? I still don't know to this day..probably because I was suffering from extreme senioritis) that I began reconsidering. It's why I admire copywriters and graphic designers who are good at their craft: it's a combination of both intuition and craft one needs to execute and perfect.
One thing remains, however: when the brand name comes up, my mind automatically gears to the ads. It's like the ads have transcended the logo- by becoming the logo itself.
These are the ones I keep coming back to:
Nevertheless, I think Absolut's one of the few consistently impressionable brands out there, next to Coke's "Happiness", that have established themselves via print (nowadays, it's mostly commercials you remember products for). It's probably interesting to note this phenomenon only in the food/drink industry, unlike the fashion world (where print still reigns) or maybe tech like Apple.
Maybe it's also because the ads that suck me in tend to envision an alternate reality or parallel universe. Like these:
Call it idealistic. The first one is a little radical; the second, slightly achievable ("Iron Man" much?). But with science picking up the pace and filling in empty pages these days, who or what's to say that nothing is impossible?
So there you have it: a verbal proof of the absolute value equation for creative ad thinking. No matter how "real" or "complex" the number is, the destination will be far from zero. Its value is always positive- and Absolut[ely] Brilliant.

With the victory, Georgia clinches its second straight weekend series. UGA improves to 13-14 overall and 5-3 in conference play, while MSU falls to 19-8 and 4-4. Georgia has now won eight of the past nine series with MSU, including five straight here.
Georgia trailed 1-0 before scoring four times in the home half of the sixth inning Saturday afternoon. With one out, the homestanding Bulldogs strung together four straight hits off MSU starting pitcher Chris Stratton.
Brett DeLoach then launched a three-run home run and Jonathan Hester followed with his third home run of the season to give Georgia a 4-1 lead.
"We are competing well in all phases of the game," MSU designated hitter Trey Johnson said. "It's just a matter of playing a complete game and putting everything together. Winning the Sunday game gave us a real big lift at Vanderbilt so hopefully we can come out and get that kind of win tomorrow."
MSU scored first Saturday afternoon. In the fifth inning, Trey Johnson ripped a two-run double off the base of the outfield wall. Jonathan Ogden then went up the middle with an RBI-single.
Staked to the 1-0 lead, Stratton was brilliant until hitting some struggles in the sixth inning. UGA pieced together four consecutive one-out hits to do all of their offensive damage.
In the ninth inning, MSU scored again but could not produce a game-tying run. With one out, Jarrod Parks ripped a double to right center. After a pop-up, Cody Freeman lined an RBI-single.
For MSU, Stratton (4-2) worked six innings, allowing seven hits and four runs (all earned), with seven strikeouts and two walks. Tim Statz, Victor Diaz and Caleb Reed followed in relief.
MSU finished with six hits, including a pair of hits by Ogden. Georgia finished with seven hits. DeLoach and Peter Verdin each multiple hits.
MSU is scheduled to start junior left-hander Nick Routt (0-0, 1.29 ERA), while UGA is scheduled to start junior left-hander Craig Gullickson (2-1, 5.21) in a 1 p.m. contest today.

The tree planted in honor of Aliahna Lemmon by her teacher and classmates on Monday at Holland Elementary School is a Dwarf Korean Lilac tree. Although it doesn't have any flowers yet, it will this spring, fragrant ones that Shannon Harris, Aliahna's teacher, can pick for her classroom.
As its name suggests, the tree won't get very big, just like Aliahna, Harris said.
Aliahna was in the third grade at Holland when she was killed in December 2011.
On Monday, the school held a dedication for the memorial garden created in Aliahna's honor. Principal Michael Caywood hopes that it will bring everyone at the school some closure.
The garden has a stone engraved with Aliahna's name and two reading benches, surrounded by greenery and flowers near the entrance to the school.
Behind the school is where the tree was planted, where it can be seen out the window of the classroom where Aliahna spent the first part of her third-grade year at Holland.
The 9-year-old girl was reported missing around Christmas in 2011. Michael Plumadore, a neighbor who was caring for Aliahna and two of her sisters, later confessed to killing the girl. Last month, Plumadore agreed to a plea deal and will serve life in prison without the possibility of parole.

My sister and I -I was 13 |
I can`t begin to explain how many goals I have set for myself that just do not come to fruition, because I sabotage myself. Either by allowing the events from the past define me or even words spoken to me create who I am today. Michael Jordan`s coach told him he was no good at sports. Madonna was told she couldn`t dance. Kids from the ghetto do not make it big. Have you ever heard of Jay-Z?
When I was 12, an English teacher in Puerto Rico had her daughter visit our class. The daughter started pointing to randoms kids and asking, "Tell me about him. Tell me about her." In English. Mind you I didn`t start speaking English until the following year, so she thought the class didn`t understand what their presumed private conversation was. I understood everything.
She points at me and asks "What about her? She looks smart." To what my teacher responded "She`s a clown. She will never amount to anything." Verbatim. I remember how my heart sank. How I could hear my heart beat in my ears and the hurt it created. I just didn`t understand why she would say that.
I could let her words define me. I do have this need to make people happy and laugh. Yet, I am not a clown. Having heard those words, made me try harder. At everything. My competitive edge is sometimes my best character flaw. Notice the oxymoron. I like it and I would not trade it for anything, though it annoys some.
You see, I could make you laugh. Although, that is not my purpose. If only my teacher had only looked beyond the girl who entertained the whole class, and disrupted hers. Nonetheless, had she not said those words, would I try any harder?? Thank you for saying that teacher. Wherever you are.

breaking news
A Little Rock attorney is serving as a
defense adviser for a man accused of war crimes in the African nation of Sierra Leone.
John Wesley Hall left Wednesday to serve as defense counsel for Samuel Hinga Norman -- if Norman decides he needs advice.
Norman is the country`s former interior minister and is the most
prominent of eleven men on trial in the first United Nations-backed war crimes trial.
The trial began June third. Norman is representing himself but Hall was selected to act as a standby attorney. Hall knows the principal defender in the case, and that`s how he was chosen for the duty.
