Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
I have been planning on buying the Nexus 7 since a long time. First I wanted the 8GB model, but those problems with charging and screen lift kept me from getting it. When I heard about an upcoming 32GB edition, I was hoping that it would result in a whole new production batch, with those problems being a past thing.
It is really important to know wether those problems are still present, cause I would buy the 3G model from the Play Store, but I will soon leave the US for a long time, so if something was wrong with the tablet, I would be really screwed! Since I have no 3G device, I have to go with that one, otherwise I would get the Wifi only model at a local retailer, where returning it wouldn't be a big deal. But with all that shipping it could take a while till I get a working device if something went wrong, especially since some people said that even their fourth replacement still had issues. And if it would happen while I'm in Germany - well, like I said above, I would be screwed since there would be no way to get it repaired by Asus.
I really want the 3G model, but I don't wanna risk losing 300$! Reports of problems have become rare now, but just today I saw that somebody had a screen lift with a 32GB model.
Can I risk it? Cause otherwise I would be stuck with 3 more months without any internet connection, since the Edge on my iPhone 3G is too slow in this area and I wouldn't get it again next month (and Edge is actually fast enough for me, but in this area I have almost no signal, and waiting 5 mi utes for one page is not worth 50 bucks!)
Oh, and sorry for that long story - 12-03-2012, 04:06 PM #2
Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
YAYTech's analysis and advice is very good. You'll likely end up with a perfectly good unit, and if it's not perfect, whatever blemish it has would probably be minor and something you'd live with anyway. Many screen lifts issues are minor, though some (like on my first N7 from July) are significant enough to warrant an exchange. But this is mainly due to the annoyance of it ( "it just shouldn't squeak and be this way" ) as opposed to it causing the N7 to not work. Plus, some people were bothered by it while others just didn't care.
But there is a chance, just as would be the case with a Samsung or Apple product, or a camera or a phone or a you name it, that you'll get a truly defective unit that needs to be exchanged. Maybe the Nexus 7 has a slightly higher defect rate than competitors, but it's unlikely significant to the point where it should sway your decision.
Years ago I bought a new camcorder from B&H Photo Video just a few days before leaving on my first overseas vacation. It was in perfect condition, but I was indeed worried about the "what if it's defective" issue. So I understand your concern.
The dilemma really comes down to how soon you'll be leaving the country after receiving your unit, whether it be the Nexus 7 or anything else you buy online. If it's three weeks, this is plenty of time to discover the defect and get an exchange from Google. Two weeks is a little more iffy, but doable.
If you just don't like this minor risk, one alternative is to buy it once you're in Germany, since I think Google sells it online there. I'm not sure about that, and I'm sure this option has both positive and negative points, but it's probably worth researching. - 12-03-2012, 06:39 PM #4
Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
I owned a 16 GB version and now own a 32 GB + HSPA version. The improvement in build quality is noticeable. My original N7 had screen lift, poor speakers, and was very squeaky. The new unit has none of those issues.
In spite of these problems on my 16 gb unit, it was still a fantastic device--none of its issues caused any real world operating issues with the device.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend, especially now that some of the build quality issues seem to be resolved.

Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
I understand that every product could be damaged, wether that's Apple or Samsung or some cheap company. But there seems to be alot of complaints about the N7. And, I know Asus as a brand that is more cheap than good. However, once had one in my hand, it felt pretty good in quality.
I'm leaving in about three months, and will probably buy it in two weeks. Well, that actually depends on this due hospital bill and how much my wife will leave in Disneyland next week :o 3 months is plenty of time for an exchange, but I'm not quite a pacient person :|
Buying it in Germany I would only get the 32GB widfi only, if even any. I need the 3G now, because the internet on my phone is slower than dial-up, and my parents are waiting to skype with their grandson - 12-04-2012, 12:59 AM #6
Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
Oh, with that amount of time you'll have no problem in the unlikely event that you receive a defective unit. If you buy from Google and find a defect sometime during the first 15 days (that's the official period, though I think they're flexible), you call them to arrange for an exchange.
They'll quickly send you a new unit via FedEx 2 day delivery. They'll also email you all the RMA materials, including the prepaid UPS label, for the return. You have two weeks from the point that you receive the new unit to return to defective unit. This means you won't be without your Nexus 7, and it also gives you a chance to compare the replacement with the defective unit, and to set up the new one by referencing the old (convenient if you've done lots of customization).
Google will put a hold on your credit card for the cost of the replacement, but won't actually charge it unless they don't receive the defective unit in time.
By the way, Asus is actually a pretty high end company. I assembled my computer using an Asus motherboard (and other Asus parts), as Asus is known to make among the best. Their manufacturing specs for the Nexus 7, plus the needed cost cutting measures to achieve the selling price, we're mostly dictated by Google. Just take a look at their Transformer line of tablets for an example of the build quality, as well as higher price, they can achieve. And again, take forum complaints with a grain of salt. People with problems tend to seek advice (one of the main reasons for the forum) or complain (human nature), while those with no problems tend smile and stay silent. Doesn't matter if it's a defective Nexus 7, a lemon car, or a bad marriage, people generally vocalize in the same way. Yes, perhaps Nexus 7 defects are more common than with other high end tablets, but the percentage is still very, very small.
Good luck in Germany! - 12-04-2012, 07:15 PM Thread Author #7
Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
And the shipping cost? By the way, how much is that for the inital purchase (shipping to California, if I didn't mention that already). And how about a defect AFTER the 15 days? Let's say a screen lift or the charging problem happens, do I have to pay for shipping and repair? I'm not a clumpsy person and will also get the official case (wifi-only, which doesn't make a difference to me since I believe it just covers the SIM-slot, but I won't switch it till I'm in Germany. And I hope I'll be able to spray-paint it black with some purple lines, which I imagine a cool and unique case. Oh, and maybe install a weak magnet for auto-wake), but I have a one year old son, who likes phones and laptop in a very destructive way^^
Yeah, I know that people keep positive experiences for themselves but go nuts if ever something goes wrong. Except for some Apple Fans, since they would be to embarrased to admit that their oh-so-great device isn't much better than a Toshiba after all. No bashing intended, but those that I know are like that.
And about Asus... well, at least a couple years ago their laptops looked pretty ugly. And my friends laptops motherboard rendered his whole laptop useless, but I think the retailer exchanged it (for a good-looking Sony). Well, Samsung and Toshiba are my favorite manufacturers, so I never even look at other brands, can't make a personal opinion about them. But the Nexus 7 looks very good, and the dark UI of Android attracts me alot, different from the light-colored iOS (which I'm really sick of). - 12-04-2012, 09:07 PM #8
Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
The total price for the 32gb HSPA model is about $338. This includes about $14 for shipping and $25 for tax, based on a California shipping address. Just add to your shopping cart on Google Play and specify the shipping address, and it will give you an exact amount. Might as well press the buy button while your at it!
Regarding returning to Google for an exchange due to a defect, there is no shipping cost to you in either direction. Google emails you a prepaid UPS shipping label. You will have to use your own gas to trek to the UPS store, of course.
As for after the 15 days (though I've heard Google is flexible with this time limit, so I'd call them first, even if it's a couple months after purchase), you would then deal with Asus for a warranty repair on the original unit, unless it was so messed up that they sent you a new replacement. This is typical of any warranty service, where you'll have to pay for the shipping to them, and also be without your unit until it's returned to you. I've heard that they're relatively efficient with this process, taking a couple weeks or less to get your unit back to you. But search the forum, and I'm sure you'll find some horror stories.
After the one year warranty period is over, or if it's not defective until your son drops it in the toilet, it's all on your dime, obviously. If this were the case, you'd probably just be better off buying a new unit, which by that time would probably be $50 cheaper, and more powerful, than your original device.
An alternative is to buy an extended warranty or protection plan from a third party. Some credit cards automatically offer such a thing. Here's a recent thread with some opinions about this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sho....php?p=2392490. However, since you'll be in Germany, I'm not sure how convenient these would be. - 12-04-2012, 11:18 PM Thread Author #9
Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
I'm actually now thinking about buying it from the German Store, and tell my parents to send it to me. If it's not too heavy that costs us a just one buck. Problem is, if that one is defective I have a problem, cause I don't think I could ship electronics in the US. Plus, it might take a month to arrive, and recently one letter she sent never arrived :| But at least it gives me a two-year warranty that I can claim over there. Unfortunately, it would cost me more to get the tablet (it's 299, which is almost 400 USD -.-) and my parents wouldn't be so happy about that since we live on a very small budget... And I really don't want to wait over four weeks, just to see that it arrives after we came back to Germany. And over there I don't neccessarely need the 3G feature, even though I am planning on just getting a regular plain mobile phone with a prepaid card and use the Nexus for the "super phone" (haha just kidding, of course I mean smartphone)
Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but are you pulling our collective leg here? Maybe I'm just a sucker in writing my detailed responses to your questions and doubts. But if what you're writing here is serious, then...
I wish you luck with making a decision, as I don't think you'll need any luck with the Nexus 7 itself, assuming you ever make a decision to buy it. At this point, it really seems to me that you're over thinking this whole thing, especially for something in this price range. But to each his own. I think you've gotten some pretty solid advice here, and that advice basically comes down to GO BUY IT ALREADY! :banghead: - 12-05-2012, 08:56 AM Thread Author #11
Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
Well, I first have to wait for payday and for somebody like me 300$ is not actually low-budget price. but since I already fell in love with it, and that I don't have to send in my device till I get a new one makes me feel better about it.
Oh, and it's not me who needs to be convinced. it's actually my wife who saw the price tag and was like "really??".
But I guess I'll just go for it. Even if something is wrong, I have around 80 days left, and I think those 30 to 40 devices I could get in that time should have at least one working one Let's just hope that Disneyland and that hospital bill won't empty out our bank account :|

I think she's just scared of me keeping it from her, but since 4.2 supports multiple users it shouldn't be a big deal to share it. No need to sign out of apps and websites that we both use.
She's just not so fond of it being shipped. And of course, Walmart gives me a much longer time to return it, but since the 3G is only available online and there's nothing out there that compares. 3G is needed, but I don't like the Galaxy Tab. iPad Mini is way to expensive, while weaker. And I'm tired of iOS and Apple. The N7 is the only choice, since those three are the only real options. - 12-05-2012, 02:59 PM #14
Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
At least it was until today. Status on Google Play now states... oh, in stock. Geez, an hour ago it said sold out! So... don't put off the purchase too long, just in case.
Sorry about my earlier "irritated" post, but I was tired and grumpy. I shouldn't post after 1:00am. And yes, a $300 purchase is nothing to sneeze at for most people. But I think you've finally got it all figured out! - 12-05-2012, 05:49 PM #15
Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
If your wife thinks it's expensive then compare it to the iPad mini where the 32GB LTE option costs $559, I know LTE is a bit better than the Nexus 7's 3G, but the Nexus 7 has a better screen so it's still a reasonable comparison. If you put the price into that context, then maybe your wife will see the Nexus 7 really is a bargain.
- 12-05-2012, 07:30 PM Thread Author #16
Well, she considers it a toy, which is what it actually is. So it doesn't matter wether it's only expensive or super expensive. But it's a handy device for several tasks, where a phone is too small and a laptop too big. Since I don't have any high expectations into mobile phones (next one will be like my Sony Ericcson K700 again. Simple but good) or laptops (next one will probably be a used one from my sister). But for a tablet I have higher expectations, since it has to make up between those two devices. Plus, I'm interested in porting some of my own computer programs into Android Apps, and some just require a big screen.
Well, as soon as I have the money I'll get it and tell you guys how the quality of at least that one is. - 12-07-2012, 03:38 PM #17

Went to Staples today to get a last glimpse at the tablet. Just to check out the build quality, feeling in my hand, screen contrast and all that other stuff. Well, it seemed pretty solid, and very quick and responsive. It had at least JB 4.2 on it, and I didn't notice any lag. Also was showing it to some older man who was interested in it, so I actually got a little real-life demo, since I didn't know how to test it. Well, after all I just did what the Staples people should have done Tss, in that moment I really missed working in retail stores :|

Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
So I kept researching more on that screen lift issue and found out about some sort of sponge that is located behind the back cover. I keep reading that removing the back cover is quite easy, with only a couple screws to remove. Is that correct so far? Because with many devices the back cover has cables connected to them, in which case I will not open it.
But what's more important: what is this sponge for? So far nobody was able to say what it's good for, so I assume it's either a "left-over" or a cusion for use on a table. And also: Is it just "thrown in" or is it actually fixed and needs to be scratched of?
Oh, and do I have to remove any of those "Warranty void if seal is broken" stickers to open the case? In other words: will Google/ASUS know I opened the case?
I also read in this other thread here that the battery might not be plugged in all the way. Is that common? I know it's easy to fix, but what else could surprise me? Also, is that affiliated with problems where the Nexus 7 charges slowly even when using the stock wall charger? - 12-14-2012, 02:08 PM #20
Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
Back cover is pretty easy to remove. Not sure of the purpose of the sponge you mention but my recollection is it's pretty solidly glued down. I don't recall seeing anyone saying they removed it. And I've also seen no surefire solutions to address screen lift either.
[edit]: They will only know you've opened it if you're careless like me. Or if you do something like remove the sponge (duh). - 12-14-2012, 03:57 PM Thread Author #21
Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
Some people reported that tightening loose screws only temporarely solved the screen lift issue, but removing that sponge actually fixed it for good. But if it's glued on I will not remove it, unless I know what it's there for.
By the way, is the sponge located where the "creaking" sound occurs? And how big is? - 12-14-2012, 10:14 PM #22
Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
I don't know about it being where the creaking is but I would say it is not where the lift is. It is small, maybe 2cm by 0.5cm.

Re: Build Issues resolved (esp on 3G model)?
So I received my Nexus 7 32G + HSPA+ yesterday. Can't say much about the quality yet, other than that I don't see any signs of a screen raise/lift. So far I'm happy about it, other than UPS. Ordered it on Monday morning and received it Wednesday morning. Since I received a mail the day before that I would get it on Wednesday "End of the day" I didn't expect it earlier than 3pm or the next day. UPS guy never knocked, just left the package at our doorstep at 8.40am (stamp). If I weren't gonna go out with my son at 2.50pm I wouldn't even have seen it! Very disappointing, UPS!
Well, I charged it to 95% this morning and did the 4.2.1 update. And yes, I do notice that I already lost 4% of the charge in just a little time. And another 2% while writing this.

Oh, David Rocco.... I watch him on tv, usually in awe. He's a Canadian who lives part-time in Italy. He hangs out with his buddies in Rome, and cooks. He visits fun places like a chestnut farm, and eats and cooks among the trees. What a life! How do I sign up for this gig?
With all honesty, I don't really want to have a tv show. I'd rather have my perfect little bakery. In the meantime, I have David Rocco's latest book "Made in Italy" to review.
So far, I've tested a handful of recipes. What I love about this book: the simplicity. The recipes are quite simple and rustic. You don't need a fancy food processor, blender, mixer, etc. to make David Rocco's recipes. The photos in the book reflect this simplicity, depicting simple, traditional Italian dishes. There are no fancy plating techniques here: the pizzas aren't perfectly round and there are sometimes dribbles of sauce on the serving plate photographed. The dishes really look homemade.
What I don't love (i.e. me being picky): solids (like flour, sugar, etc.) are measured in cups/milliliters (mL). My inner chemist thinks that volumes are for liquids, weights are for solids. Unfortunately, I think Canadian publishing regulations dictate that solids be reported for cookbooks in cups/mL. This makes absolutely no sense to me, but those are the rules. Oh well.
My other issue is with the ingredient lists. For the dessert (dolci) section, I think it is important to specify to use unsalted butter and granulated sugar, for example. However, in this book, these ingredients are listed as butter and sugar, which is fine for the experienced bakers who know what type of butter and sugar to use, but for a novice, I think it's important to specify exactly what ingredients were used. These are really minor details though, and I'm definitely going to continue cooking with this book.
This apple yogurt cake is a dessert recipe adapted from David Rocco's "Made in Italy" (page 341). The recipe is really simple and can even be mixed together by hand (or with a hand mixer, as David Rocco recommends) if you don't have a stand mixer. The cake has a lovely moist texture and is full of apple slices. The original recipe said to bake the cake for 40 minutes, but mine took over an hour to bake. I love the crispy sugar topping that crackles as the cake cools and its crispy texture is a welcome sweet contrast to the soft, slightly tart apples. This is a great snacking cake and absolutely appropriate for the end of fall.
Apple yogurt cake
Makes one 8-inch cake
- 1 1/3 cups (150 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) granulated sugar
- 7/8 cup (200 grams) unsalted butter, melted, plus a little extra for buttering the pan
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cups (125 mL) yogurt (I used 2.5% fat yogurt)
- 2 apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1/3 cup (75 grams) granulated sugar (for the topping
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter an 8-inch cake round.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the 1/2 cup of sugar and the melted butter until it has lightened.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating between each addition and scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture alternately with the yoghurt, beginning and ending with the flour.
- Stir in the sliced apples and the lemon zest, and pour the batter in the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the 1/3 cup sugar evenly over the top of the cake.
- The original recipe suggests a baking time of 40 minutes, but I think it needs to bake for over one hour (until a tester inserted into the center (not through an apple if possible!) comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before serving.

We're coming over all poetic. But how can we not when writing about a lone yurt in a southwest-facing field on a Cornish farm? We'd probably be breaking into verse before we'd even unpacked.
The poetic pitch is Albion Farm Yurt, in a secluded corner of on a smallholding at Mylor near Falmouth, where the owners have perched it as an environmentally-friendly alternative to a holiday cottage. It's all rather clever really – the yurt is handmade on Bodmin Moor using a traditional Mongolian yurt design and coppiced wood, with woodburning stove and gas cooker inside. The sides can be peeled back to let the air in, and there's a roof light too for yurt-based stargazing. And it's all surrounded by trees among a large grassy area and local wildlife, which means staying here is back to nature but with stacked with home comforts. Something that also makes us feel a bit poetic…
Cooking/eating irons are provided and there's a fridge and freezer in a building close to hand. You'll also have your own cabin right next to the yurt, with camping loo, shower, basin, electric lighting and a towel rail. Albion Farm is ten minutes' walk from Mylor village, where there's the Lemon Arms pub, shops, butcher and fishmonger; the waterside thirteenth century Pandora Inn is a 15 minute walk from your pitch, along a creekside path.

From what I understand Detroit wanted him and he told the club he wouldn't waive his no trade clause because he wants to be the Phillies all time hits leader....but hey lets trade Utley who busts his butt all the time and get rid of your best pitcher for anything. I will give you the Michael Young deal they should have made that take what you get and the pay the money. As for Ruiz I am stuck there he is a good defensive catcher who had one good year but if the Phillies kept him there has to be a reason. Maybe Tommy Joseph isn't as good as they thought and they are considering resigning him or maybe they think they still have a shot at the wild card and why trade him to another team in the wildcard hunt the Cardinals or maybe they think he is a better opiton then the other catchers in the minors. Either way no deals were made and again I don't totaaly disagree with your statement other thengiving players away for anything and if you were gonna sell that would have included trading Hamels and Brown because I think you could get top teir prospects for both.

Your comment about Darren Daulton who has major health issues shows your lack of compassion, intelligence and pure ignorance.
Posted Friday June 28, 2013, About: Phillies relutcant to move fan favorites
As for fan favorites being moved I have to agree if the price is right they would move anyone. I don't agree with that stance when it comes to Chase Utley. Bottomline Utley isn't the reason they are losing Utley can't make Howard and Rollins be more patient at the plate and he can't play 2 of the 3 outfield positions he isn't responsible for blown saves so why so much trade talk around Utley. I guess all the things I mentioned in my opinion make him a trade value, but what are you gonna get for him? The Phillies don't need a middle of the road prospect they need major league ready players and I don't think you get that for Utley straight up. The other reason I think trading Utley is he is to the Phillies club house what Brian Dawlins was to the Eagles the heart and soul and it would be bad for them to trade him or let him just walk at the end of the season. I don't brake the bank to re-sign him but I make a fair market offer to keep him. The Phillies need a power hitting corner outfielder and I just don't think they have what it takes to get one. We can't trade the farm they did that and now you see what they got.
Posted Friday June 28, 2013, About: Sixers GM denies coaching hire
I don't think this stragety works in the NBA....the #1 pick is pure luck I realize they have a better shot with more ping pong balls in but its not a guarntee. They need to attempt too rebuild this franchise, and you have to start somewhere Holiday is a good player but he isn't a superstar he isn't Iverson, he can't put this team on his back and carry them like AI did and by making the move you end up with 2 picks from the top 20 albeight it a weak class. I question the GM hiring and the fact that they didn't hire a coach prior to the draft more than the trade.
Posted Thursday January 03, 2013, About: Reid's pitch to Cards: I can fix Kolb
Didn't win a Super Bowl but played in more and won more playoff games then the Redskins during his time in Philly. I know I know you guys have 3 rings heard it before but what gives you the right to talk crap when you finally made the playoffs after what 15 years?
Posted Thursday January 03, 2013, About: Reid's pitch to Cards: I can fix Kolb
Hahaha like he fixed him in Philly what a joke! Andy you stuck it to us eagle fans you gave up on this season a long time ago and have the nerve to call around the league setting up your staff for next year why not take all the bums you hired with you if they were so great! You lied to the fans for a long time!

If your a hockey fan you may hate Crosby but like most people who know a little something about the game you would love him wearing your teams sweater. I personally am a Flyers fan and would love to see him get smoked but I also think he is good for the game and when the Flyers win I don't want people saying its only because the Pansy didn't play.
Posted Thursday January 03, 2013, About: Baseball's worst Hall of Famer
So I posted the Gil Hodges comment and decided to go and look at his numbers. Not real impressive however only 1 player had more RBI's and HR's during the time he played.... Duke Snider a HOFer so how is it he is not a HOFer and George Kelly is? I would say if Hodges gets in someday so will Dale Murphy because again he played second fiddle to another HOFer Mike Schmidt!

I think we need to get Gil Hodges in before we put Tex in. Class guy but not a HOFer.
Posted Monday December 03, 2012, About: Fired Washburn had become a 'cancer' in Philly
Spags wouldn't come here because of the stupid wide 9 defense thats why Catsillo got the job. I mean hell Dick Jaron who has done a good job in Houston (I believe) was here he didn't want the job and why you ask? The Wide 9!

They will wait he has earned that, its just a shame they have been so bad. Also if he goes now its Marty Morningway and he sticks too.
Posted Wednesday November 28, 2012, About: Wilson may be an ex-Giant after Friday
If I were the Giants I would talk to him about maybe excepting the role as a setup man which may prolong his career. I realize closers only pitch in certain situations and maybe not every night but the wear and tear on there arms can't be good. They face hopefully 3 batters and give it everything they have for those 3 guys. its like mashing the gas pedal on your car at every red light not good!
Posted Wednesday November 28, 2012, About: Wright's megadeal hits snag
I know its unlikely that they would trade him to Philly!
Posted Wednesday November 28, 2012, About: Wright's megadeal hits snag
I think he wants a guarntee that they are going to be competive, if they talk and he doesn't like what he hears then he doesn't extend and they trade him. Hopefully to Philadelphia, I am a Philly fan and two guys I loved as players that didn't play in Philadelphia..David Wright and Chipper Jones!

Embark/Disembark: We arrived at Tampa cruise terminal #3 at 11 AM. We dropped off our bags at the pier and drove across the street to the parking garage - $15 per day but worth it for convenience. There were longer lines to embark than I expected but we were on the ship in 20 minutes. Seemed to go quicker after 1 PM. At the end of the cruise, departing the ship was easy -- we rolled our luggage off the ship and walked to our car, no lines and no waiting.
Ship: The Dawn was recently remodeled and it showed for the ship was extremely clean and overall in beautiful condition. I did not see any rust or dirt anywhere. The atrium was gorgeous, also we liked the Christmas decorations throughout the ship.
Room: We had a standard balcony on the 9th floor. The room was smaller than our prior NCL ship, the Sun, but OK. Tight fit to go around the bed and most of the shelving was in the closet so difficult to use. However, luggage fit easily under the bed. If you prefer more room, I suggest a mini-suite. We did like the bathroom -- largest shower we've had in a balcony, also good layout. Our room steward was very pleasant and efficient, she made some great towel animals. One rec -- bring bars of soap as they only have liquid soap dispensers.
Food: We ate in the more formal dining room, the Venetian, several times. Service was great, waiters were friendly and efficient. Food was good -- lobster on first night was the best, rest of the time it was good to OK. Steaks and beef in general were not good there as they want you to use the pay-for dining options. We did eat at one pay place, Le Bistro for French food, and it was very good and worth the $20 charge. Other dinners we used Garden Cafe buffet which had good choices. The buffet was great for breakfast and lunch, plenty of tables -- we only had a crowd in the mornings just before we were cleared to depart ship on excursions. We also used their free 24 hr restaurant, Blue Lagoon, which had burgers & sandwiches -- it was OK, also a great location to look at atrium. Room service menu was minimal so we never used it.
Fitness/Spa: My wife and I spent a lot of time in the gym and spa. First thing we did, based on other reviews, was purchase the spa pass for $119 per person -- definitely worth it! It gave us access to spa including lap pool, hot tub, and thermal tub, plus a very quiet area with recliners. They limit it to 100 max so it was very peaceful. We liked the gym as it was roomy and never crowded, also all the machines worked and had TV's to watch -- bring a headset.
Entertainment: Had good shows, basic cruise stuff. What we really liked was entertainment in lounges, especially the singing duo in the atrium area - Duo Luna was outstanding and had a large following each night!
Roatan: Fortunately we had good weather most of the stops in spite of it being rainy season. Roatan was low 80's, water temp was 82 deg which was important since we scuba dived. Diving was very good, great reef -- we did the ship excursion which used Anthony's Key Resort. Took a 15 min van ride to get there but worth it, we had 2 great dives. There was some shopping at the pier but shopping got better at each stop with Cozumel having most variety.
Belize: Some rain in Belize, we also had to tender. The tender process was slow unless you had a ship excursion. We took a late tender to shop and found some good places near the dock. Tried the local beer, Belikin, which was very good. We went back to ship early to avoid long tender lines later in the day.
Costa Maya: Sunny weather but windy. Seas were rough which made it hard on water excursions. We took a ship excursion to drive small boats and go snorkeling. Had a 30 min bus ride to beach. Boats were fun but bumpy, snorkeling took some work due to current. Costa Maya would have been more fun on a calmer day. The excursion included a beach break with free drinks so that helped.
Cozumel: We like Cozumel, it was our 4th time there. Unfortunately it was rainy and got real windy later in the day, but still fun. Also there were 3 NCL ships in port that day and so one had to tender -- us. Fortunately the tender ride was only 5 mins and dropped us right downtown. We did a ship excursion to drive the scoot coupes -- side-by-side 3 wheel scooter -- which was fun and we saw north end of Cozumel. Also took us to a beach and shopping areas, especially a great tequila factory/museum. As I said before, Cozumel had best shopping and plenty of choices.

SANTA CLARA Preparing for Colin Kaepernick always has drawn deep sighs from opposing coaches.
Former Louisiana Tech coach Derek Dooley once said it seemed the Nevada quarterback had grown "to about 10 feet tall" since the last meeting. "He is an intimidating presence," Dooley said in 2009.
"He runs the ball as well as most running backs in the country," UNLV coach Bobby Hauck observed a few days before Kaepernick ran for 97 yards and a touchdown against his squad.
Said Idaho coach Robb Akey later that year: "It won't break my heart to see him gone."
Kaepernick, who rushed for 4,112 yards in four seasons at Nevada, is causing similar headaches in the NFL.
Kaepernick was the surprise ingredient in the 49ers' 34-0 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. He rushed for 50 yards, scored on a seven-yard run in the second quarter and came close to another touchdown in the fourth quarter before wisely sliding at the New York 3-yard line so the 49ers could run out the clock.
As a result, upcoming opponents who already had film reels looped with footage of Frank Gore, Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree now must devote valuable practice time to preparing for the speedy, long-legged quarterback with a slingshot right arm.
"Yeah, it's a lot," said Buffalo coach Chan Gailey, whose team visits Candlestick Park on Sunday. "That puts a lot of stress on your defense to prepare for that week in and week out. He's done a good job of running what they've put in and done a good job of keeping it varied so it's not the same all the time."
Gailey said backup quarterback Tyler Thigpen probably would play the role of Kaepernick on the Bills' scout team this week. Thigpen certainly is no sloth. As a senior at Coastal Carolina in 2006, he rushed 113 times for 656 yards and four touchdowns.
Still, that pales in comparison to Kaepernick's 173 carries for 1,206 yards and 20 touchdowns as a senior.
"I mean, he can't mimic exactly what Colin is able to do because of his size and speed," Gailey said. "It's like the rest of the (49ers) players. We can't mimic all the players, either. You come as close as you possibly can."
Gailey said wide receiver Brad Smith also could be used to simulate Kaepernick, and that might be a better facsimile. Smith was a running quarterback at Missouri before being converted into a receiver in the NFL.
In his last game at Nevada, Kaepernick joined Smith and former Texas quarterback Vince Young as the only players with 3,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a season.
While Kaepernick threw only one pass, an incompletion, on Sunday, it traveled more than half the field to Randy Moss. It served as a warning to future opponents that if they sneak their safeties toward the line of scrimmage to stop Kaepernick on the ground, he also can attack deep through the air.
"It ended up being about a 58-yard throw into it wasn't a windstorm but we were going into the wind at that point," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "And his ball powered through it. It gave Randy a chance. It was the right read, too. Of the two options he had, I thought that was the good decision to make that throw."
Kaepernick also lined up as a wide receiver for one play, forcing the Jets to call a timeout when they realized he was uncovered.
Safety Donte Whitner, coming off a week in which he had to prepare both for Jets starting quarterback Mark Sanchez and the more ground-oriented Tim Tebow, said Kaepernick's performance Sunday will lead to a lot of homework for the Bills and other upcoming foes.
"And that takes their focus off of other things that they're not preparing for," Whitner said. "So that's a good thing for our offense."

Favorite Drink, Favorite Candidate?
A recent Opinion Research Poll of 950 registered voters suggests that a voter's drinking preference may reveal their political persuasion and candidate preference. According to the results, beer drinkers are more likely to vote for Sen. John McCain, while those who enjoy wine say that they are more likely to vote Democratic.
Among beer drinkers, McCain has about a 50% edge over Clinton, though he is in a virtual tie with Obama. On the other side of the coin, wine drinkers prefer Clinton and/or Obama over McCain in almost every instance.
The apparent political differences are believed to boil down to matters of gender and class – men are notoriously big beer drinkers while women prefer wine over beer, as do higher-income Americans and college graduates.
Overall, 28% of Americans say they prefer beer to wine and 31% say they enjoy a glass of wine over a bottle of brew. The rest claim that they do not consume alcohol in any form. Deductively, that's 41% of the population, so you can draw your own conclusions about the veracity of these types of polls. Still food for thought, though!

State education officials are defending standardized testing as a graduation requirement starting with the class of 2014. Students opposing so-called "high stakes testing" staged a protest yesterday at the Statehouse.
State Education Commissioner Deborah Gist responded by saying her goal is to make sure students finish high school with the right skills for college or a career. If the testing rule took effect this year, 44 percent of seniors would be at risk for not graduating.
A group calling itself the Providence Student Union will ask for an end to high stakes testing this week. Starting with the class of 2014, Rhode Island students will not be allowed to graduate unless they get a score of "partially procficent" on the standardized test known as the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP).

For a baseball buddy
By: Mary
From: Hopkins, MN
Being a rather unconventional person, I choose this arrangement to send to a close friends funereal. He was a my baseball buddy and we watched many games together. This arrangement was perfect for honoring that memory. The "vase" was big, just like my friends heart. The flowers were at peak bloom and beautiful. I couldn't have wished for better flowers. The arrangement was exactly like the online photo of the product. I choose the medium sized arrangement and I couldn't have imagined putting more flowers in to make it a bigger arrangement. I would order this again.

text: There seems to be worry regarding the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office proposal. This proposal would be limiting the key part of the patent application process meant to reduce the patent backlog of around 700,000 cases by limiting continuations and this might be put into effect before year ending. This particular decision could receive protests from biotech and agri technology companies. Biotechnology is already a very controversial technology and this particular proposal could certainly add some more fire to it. I hope that the proposal is reconsidered in order to avoid undue protests from the pharma fraternity.

San Francisco Cleverly Bans Happy Meals
I hate seeing little fat kids running around. Actually, I take that back, little fat kids running around is good. LITTLE FAT KIDS GETTING PUSHED AROUND IN STROLLERS IS BAD. Real bad. STOP LETTING THOSE LIL OOMPA LOOMPAS DRINK SO MUCH POP! Thankfully, in effort to curb childhood obesity San Francisco has sneakily found a way to ban Happy Meals and other dangerously delicious kid's meals.
In order to include a toy with purchase, these new, unhappier meals must meet a checklist of nutritional requirements (PDF):
• The meal can't exceed 600 calories
• Less than 35 percent of the calories can come from fat (nuts, nut butters, low-fat cheese excepted)
• It's required to have a half cup of vegetables
• Breakfast meals are required to have a half cup of fruit
• Sodium limits
• A multigrain requirement
I'm not gonna lie, that does sound like a Sad Meal. But what's more important: making sure your children eat healthy, or getting them to stop their whining by giving them what they want? The whining thing? Oh. Well that, uh, that explains a lot. Now if you'll excuse me -- hello, child services?

DANVILLE, W.Va. -- A forearm-sized Pekingese Shih Tzu mix waddles calmly out of the shade of her horse stable and into the warm afternoon sunlight.
She plops down in a soft patch of grass and slowly raises her head.
Her eyes are glazed and milky with cataracts. Her black and gray fur is matted and unwashed. She has scratched away splotches of it, exposing portions of her skin eaten away and infected by mange. Sores and scabs cover her face and ears.
She is one out of more than 100 dogs and cats that were rescued from an animal adoption center in Boone County on Wednesday night. Sheriff's deputies and Humane Society rescue workers took the animals to the county fairgrounds, and are treating them out of the stables.
"I've seen pictures from other cases in other states," said Sommer Wyatt, director of the state division of the U.S. Humane Society as she examined the little dog. "This animal is an example of one of the worst cases I have ever seen."
The animals spent months in small, rusty cages on the cold concrete floors of an old schoolhouse in Ottawa. Feces littered the floor. The smell of ammonia permeated the air, Wyatt said.
A Boone County woman owns the adoption center. Police said she operates it through donations. Police have not yet released the woman's name -- or filed charges.
She finds stray dogs and cats off the streets, a friend of the woman said. She rescues others from the Boone County Animal Shelter before they are euthanized, he said.
"I think that the villain here is not her," the man said. He asked that his name not be published.
When deputies and Humane Society workers found the animals at the school, they had very little food. Water and electricity had been shut off long ago, deputies said.
The animals cringed when rescue workers shined lights onto them.

Mrs Flack, Redruth"I was hugely disappointed with this! The meat was lovely as was the carrot etc but unfortunately I had been expecting dauphinoise sauce which does NOT have cheese in it, and the sauce turned out to be cheese sauce!! I was really looking forward to it but as soon as I opened it I could smell the cheese which I hate! So I had to manage to scrape all the potato off plate including sauce and just ate meat and veg,all in all not a success for me. I have to say that these meals are excellent!!!! Sorry folks."
Miss Hudson, Newport Pagnell"I absolutely loved this meal. The steak just melted in my mouth and the red wine and port sauce had a really great flavour. Will definitely order this again."
Mr Dakin, Sheffield"Grandfather really enjoyed this meal, he has problems chewing and the steak was, and I quote " almost melt in the mouth". He was given this meal by a friend 'to try out' and was so impressed by it that we are going to be ordering more meals that he can eat and enjoy rather than to waste food or to give him something that I personally find disgusting but it is only what he can manage. Looking forward to ordering from Wiltshire Farm Foods "
Mrs TYRRILL, BIRMINGHAM"A very tasty meal..steak very tender but had a small amount of gristle which I did not expect in a higher priced meal. Jan Tyrrill. Birmingham. "

Adrienne and Dicks homestead was the high point of our cycling trip from Bimidji to Brainerd along the Paul Bunyan State trail. We stayed in the Three Marigolds and One Other Flower cabin and the combination of the rustic surroundings, comfortable and spacious cabin, and the mellow music playing when we walked in told us how relaxing our stay was going to be. Relax on the back porch with a book in front of the Paul Bunyan sized fireplace and you will have a hard time leaving. Dick was a gracious host, showing us his fine collection of cars as well as the projects he was working on. Breakfast of beet and buckwheat pancakes with crushed hemp topping (to suit Dars' gluten free needs) was delicious and nutritious. The dining car was the perfect way to enjoy breakfast. Thank you for the most relaxing part of our entire journey. You have set the bar very high for our future B&B evaluations! Clint and Dar, Winnipeg, MB

My wife and I recently spent a wonderful weekend at Whitely Creek where we stayed in a cabin the exterior of which resembled a 1930's service station - complete with an old gas pump out front and several vintage road signs. The cabin sits nestled into the pines next to a bright red vintage caboose car. We found Adrienne and Dick to be gracious, friendly, and low key hosts. Adrienne serves organic, home made breakfast items in a renovated railroad dining car. The first morning she served baked oatmeal topped with fresh fruit and a delicious muffin on the side. I need to eat gluten free so she went out of her way to secure gluten free oats and a delicious gluten free muffin recipe. The next day she served an egg and ham perched atop a slice of gluten free bread with a fresh salad on the side. I could say much more - about the vintage cars, the canoes, the hundreds of artistic embellishments - but I hope this limited information serves to give you a sense of the place. Whitley Creek Homestead is just the place for a memorable, idyllic retreat in the north woods.

Delightful! My husband and I were up there a few weekends ago, and it was so relaxing! No kids, no TV in the cottage, just quiet and birds and forest and good, healthy food! The owners have taken great care to make every aspect of your stay restful and comfortable--truly a retreat away from the rat race! Decorated with charming country antiques that are functional and comfortable, not fussy. You aren't afraid to break anything here, it's all designed for your R&R. Enjoy!

I am trying to get an Inventor Part Drawing to now point to an assembly model using the same views.
We are changing a machining part to an assembly (adding some plugs) and I'd like the drawing of the part to now point to the new assembly. (I don't want to have to re-draw the complex drawing.)
I have tried using a Derived component but that doesn't give me what I am looking for.
There is not anyway to reassociate a view with another part and keep the annotation connected, that I know of anyway.
What do you mean by redraw the complex drawing though?
OK. What we are doing is adding some plugs to a casting, and the machining drawing will now become an assembly drawing as well. There are multiple views with complex sections and projections. It's a complex part.
I have not figured out how to make the views on the original part drawing point to the new assembly because once the views are made from a part, they cannot be made to reference an assembly. I was hoping to not have to re-draw the whole drawing by preserving the existing views.
I did try and make my new assembly into a Derived Part. It worked as far as being able to keep all the drawing existing views, but now the 'assembly' was no longer an assembly, it was just one big part. No BOM, etc.
Oh well, I've already got it half re-drawn now anyway.
I am still unclear. When you say you are "redrawing" the drawing What exactly are you doing? Are you talking about redoing the annotation or is there something else you are doing?
Hi Lance.
I can no-longer use the existing drawing views for the drawing. I can keep the same drawing (.idw) file, but I have to delete all the views off of it and re-create them all, because I am now using the new assembly (.iam) in place of the original part (.ipt) as the reference for the views.
In otherwords, I'm forced to re-do the whole thing.
The only thing that changed was that we added the plugs, which now made the original part an assembly. The views will end up being the same, but with the addition of the plugs in them. It's still basically the same machining drawing as the original.
Make sense?
Not sure if it would serve the purpose but will you be showing it as an assembly or as a part?
If you are simply showing the assembly (with the plugs) as a part, derive a part from the assembly model and then over-write the original part file with the derived file of the assembly. This will retain all the views already created and may even retain the dimensions. If not, the dims that don't re-attach will be highlighted and you just need to drag the extension lines to the required edges.
It might make things a bit easier on you.
Also, if I recall, I think AutoDesk Labs had an add-in that allowed you to change part files in the views that would basically accomplish just what you are looking to do. I'm pretty sure it's been available for about the last 2 releases of Inventor.
"Jim" -
Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to write back. I did try the derived part idea, but I need to show the drawing as an assembly.
I would be interested in finding that Plug-In from Autodesk Labs. I might snoop around to see if I can find it. If you can remember what it was called let me know.

Delve Into This Sticky Toffee Pudding
Our stars must be aligned: for my favorite uncle's birthday last weekend, I made this dream of a cake from a recipe in Sheila Lukins's stellar new book, Ten. In case you didn't know, sticky toffee pudding isn't actually a pudding. Rather, it's a traditional British dessert that's made with date-flavored sponge cake and drenched in a toffee sauce. With its moist cake and gooey, syrupy caramelized sauce, this dessert is bound to catch on in the United States. To make this simple cake for yourself, read more.
From Ten by Sheila Lukins Cake: Serves 8. Note: This cake can be frozen and reheated. To freeze cake, cool it completely, cut into wedges, and freeze each well-wrapped wedge for up to 2 months. A slice can be thawed and reheated. Reheat in a 350ºF oven for 10 minutes. Sticky Toffee Date Cake
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus extra for greasing the pan
8 ounces pitted dried dates, chopped
1 teaspoon baking soda
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 tablespoons baking powder
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1 cup (packed) light or dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for servingDirections

COLUMBUS, OH - Landowners interested in planting Ohio Conservation Seedlings this spring are being encouraged by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) to place their orders now before new prices take effect on January 1. More than 25 species of seedlings are still available from the Marietta State Tree Nursery, and range in price from 55 cents to $1.55 each. The one- to two-year-old, bare-rooted tree seedlings will be "lifted" from the nursery bed and distributed in the spring. Available in groups of 25, a minimum total order of 100 trees is required. The Division of Forestry, the largest producer of tree seedlings in Ohio, sells more than 3,000,000 trees each year. The seedlings are sold for reforestation, wildlife habitat development, erosion control, windbreaks and other conservation projects. More than 50 varieties of trees are offered for purchase, including white pine, sweetgum, white oak, red oak, black walnut and bald cypress. Some species, such as sugar maple, hazelnut and sycamore, are in short supply and will sell out early. Check the ODNR website at ohiodnr.com/forestry for current availabilities. Selecting the proper type of tree for a particular location and soil is essential for a successful planting. Landowners with three or more acres can receive help in choosing the right trees for their property through the Division of Forestry's service forester program.

Make a Date with Shakespeare in New Weekend Programs at St. John's
FOR RELEASE: September 30, 2009
CONTACT: Patricia Dempsey, 410-626-2539
The St. John's Continuing Education and Fine Arts programs presents two new weekend workshops: "Shakespeare: 'Othello'" on October 17 and 18; and "Shakespeare: Sonnets" on October 24 and 25. In these preceptorials, up to 15 students meet with a St. John's tutor for a close reading and discussion of some of Shakespeare's works. The tuition, $135, includes brunch on Sunday. For more information and to register, please contact Molly Burnett at 410-626-2530 or email@example.com.
Shakespeare's "Othello" begins like a love story, but quickly changes course to become a story of suspicions, revenge, and murder. One of Shakespeare's most deeply psychological plays, "Othello" probes the nature of the jealous mind, the origins of good and evil, politics and nature, race and sex. Participants in the preceptorial on Shakepeare's sonnets will study and discuss a handful of the sonnets; they explore the ravages of time and the relation of love and sex. Some attention will be given to metrical and formal details.
The St. John's Continuing Education and Fine Arts programs offer community members the opportunity to consider fundamental works together in discussion classes patterned on the academic program of the college.

According to MarketWatch, the Cloud Security Alliance signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Fast IDentity Online Alliance to promote the standardization of authentication in cloud computing.
Although a business's IT department may possess limited abilities, the cloud host views security as another aspect of its business, if not its most important responsibility.
Although private enterprises are using analytics tools to help their decision-makers harness the potentially market-changing information in Big Data, the public sector and its affiliates are looking to invest in the industry.
The U.S. Education Department is strongly considering moving its Literacy Information and Communication System (LINCS) to a public cloud platform, which would be provided by a private hosting company.
Although Big Data has been acknowledged for its ability to assist businesses in gaining an edge over the competition, little has been said about what it can offer in regards to security.
San Francisco, Calif. - October 1, 2013 - GoGrid, a leading cloud infrastructure company, today announced that it has appointed CIO & EVP Technology Mark Worsey as the company's Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President Technology and Robert Carroll has joined as Chief Revenue Officer overseeing global sales, marketing, and products. With more than 40 years of combined industry experience, the two leaders position GoGrid to expand its market leadership.
San Francisco, Calif. - September 5, 2013 - GoGrid, a leading cloud infrastructure company, today announced a new solution for establishing a dedicated network connection from any corporate data center or co-location environment to GoGrid's public cloud located at Equinix International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers in Amsterdam and Washington, DC.
San Francisco, Calif. - May 16, 2013 - GoGrid, a leading cloud infrastructure company, today announced the third in a series of cloud hosting meetups from 5:30–7:30pm on Wednesday, May 22, 2013, at the 111 Minna Gallery (Second Street Room) in San Francisco. Guest speaker James Gosling, chief software architect at Liquid Robotics, will share his thoughts on creativity and why it takes more than innovative technology to make a good idea successful.
San Francisco, Calif. - May 1, 2013 - Jaspersoft, the intelligence inside applications and business processes, today announced that PeopleMatter, which is the largest provider of comprehensive HR software designed for hourly workforces, uses Jaspersoft to power the analytics and reporting components for its applications built on the GoGrid cloud platform. PeopleMatter selected Jaspersoft for the ease and speed with which it can be deployed in cloud applications, via its standards-based nature, as well as its competitive price point.
San Francisco, Calif. - April 11, 2013 - GoGrid, a leading cloud infrastructure company, today announced another extension to its software-defined networking (SDN) architecture with the availability of its new Firewall Services. With SDN, networking is no longer tied to a specific proprietary device, but is integrated via software.
Cloud hosting provider GoGrid said on Thursday that it is contributing the development of new big data technologies by contributing cloud computing resources to hack/reduce, a nonprofit research group based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
GoGrid is a cloud hosting service, and operates Linux and Windows virtual machines. Their Hybird Hosting allows customers to provision virtual and dedicated servers on the same network. They also offer colocation services.
Gogrid provide a secure user platform intended to outlast the viruses and malwares. Their latest operating system allows data backup and offers a faster and more secure data storage option for the enterprises.
One of the biggest lessons learned by many of Salesforce.com's 2.1 million global subscribers, following the cloud computing giant's recent catastrophic power outage, is that support problems don't disappear when applications or infrastructures move to the cloud.
A failure of this magnitude highlights the need for end-users to first align their own internal support infrastructures with their cloud provider's before signing any agreement...This effectively raises the stakes when it comes to selecting an appropriate cloud service and dependable service provider.
Of course, even a watertight SLA is not a guarantee of a service provider's reliability, but more of an indication or guide as to how the company will react in a time of trouble.
A good example is cloud provider GoGrid's '10 000% guaranteed SLA'...it is clear GoGrid is offering a 100% uptime guarantee...
Cloud infrastructure provider GoGrid announced on Thursday that GoGrid server images with IBM's BigInsights and Streams are now available.
With the integrated solution, IBM partners that need to analyze large volumes of unstructured data or build big data applications based on Apache Hadoop can use the pre-built GoGrid server images.
"Solving today's big data challenges requires cutting-edge software and infrastructure, and this business partnership brings together the best of both," Bruce Weed, program director of global business development for IBM said in a statement. "GoGrid's automated cloud infrastructure platform and IBM's big data software work together to let businesses build SaaS and PaaS applications to address their need to analyze vast amounts of information."
TMCnet had the chance to catch up with Keagy earlier today to get a sneak peek at the content that will be covered tonight.
"Just about everyone has cloud-washed their offerings," he told TMCnet. "Everyone is doing well by slapping the label cloud on their offerings, but cloud is very young and things are developing quickly and this ability for vendors to achieve success just by slapping a cloud label on what they are doing is not going to be there in a couple of years."
Cloud computing always seems to progress at a rapid pace. Over just the past few years, the cloud as an industry model has matured from a promising yet passable curiosity enjoying fifteen minutes of fame into an indelible and mushrooming contributor to the contemporary technology community...and as a "pure-play IaaS provider," GoGrid is tough to beat for deployment of new applications and streamlining of workloads.
Cloud infrastructure company GoGrid announced the Big Data Solution, an offering based on a hybrid infrastructure architecture that combines cloud computing with single-tenant infrastructure components, all managed through the GoGrid management portal. Built to support high-performance analytic jobs and able to be used for applications that leverage NoSQL solutions like Hadoop to serve up content via app servers.
GoGrid today introduces its Big Data Solution predictive analytics platform. It adds features that combine the best from cloud computing with hybrid cloud flexibility and front-end apps. Everything is managed from the GoGrid web-based management portal. Amazon and others need more assembly of individual pieces that are less integrated than what GoGrid offers. The idea is to support very high performance analytics. It has preconfigured hardware that includes a collection of four different servers as part of GoGrid's Professional Cloud plan. You can use this to quickly scale up demand to meet traffic spikes in your Hadoop NoSQL databases, for example. This allows for a complete hybrid cloud solution with the added security of a single-tenant infrastructure.
GoGrid has launched a big data analytics tool, aiming to help businesses take advantage of the deluge of data hitting the companies using cloud computing. The GoGrid Big Data Solution is based on the firm's hybrid cloud offering, where it offers Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) on either a multi-tenant basis or with dedicated servers within its data centres. With the new launch, businesses can take advantage of the single-tenant environment to house their data and analyse it using big data tools like Cloudera's Distribution of Hadoop (CDH). However, if they then have a sudden spike in traffic where they need more capacity, they can take advantage of GoGrid's cloud servers and burst out into its multi-tenant environment.
- Welcome to GoGrid!

Although a business's IT department may possess limited abilities, the cloud host views security as another aspect of its business, if not its most important responsibility.

Marquis Dontae Bell was originally charged with attempted murder but worked out a deal with prosecutors. He pleaded guilty instead to second degree assault. Bell still faces charges in Jefferson County on attempted murder charges for shooting someone in the face.
Bell received a 10 year sentence by the judge then suspended much of the sentence ordering him to serve 20 months.
Bell was charged in April 2011 with attempted murder.
Police say he confronted and assaulted Colton Hall on Anderson Street in Guntersville. Hall was struck with a baseball bat and Bell then fired a weapon at Hall but did not strike him.
Prosecutors believe it was caused by a simmering dispute between the two men.
Bell now has an arraignment hearing on his attempted murder charge in Jefferson County set for June 17.
