Mongrel Startup Script
I couldn't find one that did exactly what I wanted, so I cooked up this ruby script. Be sure to change app_dir and apps near the top to match your environment. On my ubuntu/debian server, this script resides in /etc/init.d. I ran "sudo update-rc.d -f mongrel defaults" to make it run on startup.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby # # mongrel Startup script for Mongrel by Tim Morgan # # chkconfig: - 85 15 # description: mongrel manages Mongrel # app_dir = '/var/rails' apps = { 'hpy' => 8001, '43verses' => 8002 } if ['stop', 'restart'].include? ARGV.first apps.each do |path, port| path = File.join app_dir, path puts "Stopping #{path}..." `mongrel_rails stop -c #{path} -P log/mongrel.pid` end end if ['start', 'restart'].include?

I've written a libray which abstracts the common features of init scripts. You just have to implement a start and stop method. The restart method is generated automatically, but you can set a delay in seconds between calling the stop and the start method. You can get it via "gem install init". Documentation can be found here: http://aef.rubyforge.org/init/ The example would look like this:

Oh, the travails of being young and good-looking in New York City. We never knew it could be so hard.
MTV has dropped the trailer for "The Art of Getting By" (previously known as "Homework") and it's about as indie as you can get. Starring Emma Roberts and Freddie Highmore, the film is about George, a young self-described slacker who in his senior year of high school takes up with the equally aloof Sally and together they get their malaise on while going...clubbing? Or something. Naturally, their relationship gets complicated and....sigh, we're pretty sure we've seen this movie about a hundred times before. There are some bright spots though, particularly Michael Angarano, who seems to be playing a mentor-type character with rugged, bearded authority.
"The Art of Getting By" opens in limited release on June 17th before going wide in July. Check out the trailer below.
Terry | May 20, 2011 4:54 AM
The movie is charming, i saw it at sundance and it's a nice little piece made for under 2 million that happily got sold to fox searchlight.
Mr. Wiesen's did a great job of telling an autobiographical story.
BuntyHoven | April 21, 2011 11:39 AM
Did we not just see this a few months ago, except that time it was set in a mental hospital?
And fuck me, do I feel OLD when Michael Angarano is playing MENTOR characters now.
Christopher Bell | April 21, 2011 11:34 AM
Leo, mind if I see your badge?
Alex | April 21, 2011 10:25 AM
Wow! This movie is so amazing and original....wait, NO.
Sean | April 21, 2011 7:06 AM
Why are all the indie comedies always about quirky teens/tweens with no direction and emotional problems/issues? It's like every white kid in Manhattan or a measly, pathetic, small town has to get their shit together during high school or when they're working a dead end job.
River Kwai | April 21, 2011 4:48 AM
Oh wow, this trailer makes me SO glad I didn't grow up in New York. This looks terrible, and Bill is right on the money. Calculated indie aesthetic mixed with bland character study. Sorry, next plz.
alohah | April 21, 2011 4:38 AM
If the quirky teens/tweens with no direction and emotional problems/issues don't make these films, then who will inspire white kids in Manhattan to make these films?
Bill | April 21, 2011 3:18 AM
Truthfully? This film looks less like ART & more like a highly calculated series of things that offer a movie "hip indie cred".
"Indie cinema" itself has become a ludicrously profitable business. This doesn't feel like an original work of art put forth by someone who had something unique to say. This feels like well developed "product". A carefully put together series of items- 1. unchallenging subject matter, 2. wrinkle free cast re-interpreting a previously made film (is the entire NYC indie community determined to only remake Woody Allen films?) 3. celebrities wherever possible- Alicia Silverstone? 4. & a posh NYC setting to assure the film will play for several months in Manhattan cinemas where it will reap major cash before gaining attention on Facebook.
Nothing in the trailer, imagery, or concept strike me as original. It's a Market-Indie. A flick that won't break any box office records or be particularly memorable but will get by.
Zac Heffron | April 21, 2011 2:21 AM
Emma is incredibly gorgeous. I love her. She's really beautiful and a really sweet girl.
Stephen M | April 20, 2011 11:32 AM
I dunno, maybe it's because I'm a college student and I don't know what I want to do with my life, but I liked the look of it. We've seen it before, sure, but some of us just like this kind of story and connect with it. That's why they make so many of these.
Edward Davis | April 20, 2011 11:10 AM
@Smash Tit-house fully agreed on all counts. Great song, but...
SuperMario | April 20, 2011 10:54 AM
Boom Jagernath! just got your horrific grammar and dyslexia called out just like you do to everyone who actually has the courage to put their ART work out into the world only to get snarked and destroyed by you while you hide behind your computer without actually contributing one thing to the world. You are a hater of the worst kind because you are a kiss ass and coward.
Smash Tit-house | April 20, 2011 10:48 AM
That track by the French Kicks is great, but you're right - outside of Angarano everything just seems very - blah.
Leo | April 20, 2011 10:42 AM
Re-read that article, it's so sloppy and poorly-written. "MTV has dropped the trailer for "The Art Of Getting By" (previously known as "Homework") has dropped..." Oh really? Has it dropped twice? Then you call it by the wrong title at the end.
You don't get to be as snarky as you're desperately trying to be about somebody else's work when your own work is so sloppy and bad.

THE LEADING MEN: Tony Nominees Billy Porter and Stark Sands Kick Up Their Heels in Broadway's Kinky Boots
By Michael Gioia
Billy Porter and Stark Sands, the leading men at the heart of Broadway's Kinky Boots, each earned a 2013 Tony Award nomination for his performance. Playbill catches up with the nominees.
Long-time stage actor Billy Porter takes on the role of a lifetime in the new Cyndi Lauper-Harvey Fierstein Broadway musical Kinky Boots, which recently earned 13 Tony Award nominations, the most of any production in the 2012-13 season. Porter, who has previously been seen in featured roles on Broadway in Miss Saigon, Five Guys Named Moe, Grease and Smokey Joe's Café, takes center stage in Kinky, where he shares top billing with co-star Stark Sands. Tony-nominated Best Leading Actor Porter is being recognized for his remarkable femininity, sassy comic timing and downright sexy strut. The Broadway favorite plays Lola, the passionate and fabulous drag queen who encounters straight-laced Charlie Price and helps him by creating and designing the show's "title character" (if you will) — Kinky Boots. We chatted with Porter at the May 1 Tony nominations press junket, where he talked about a role that he holds very close to his heart.
Stark Sands told me that he's rooting for you and there is no competitiveness. Are you rooting for him?
You guys have great chemistry. When you yell back and forth at each other, it's heartbreaking. Tell me about working together so closely and these moments that you share.
Where did you begin to create the character of Lola?
Tell me about your physicality, too. I'm interested in how Billy became Lola.
This story must really strike a chord with you. Are there moments in the show that catch you off guard each night, and you think to yourself, "This resonates with me, Billy"?
Tell me about your 11-o'clock number in the second act, "Hold Me In Your Heart." Are you completely drained by the end of the show?
Stark Sands and Annaleigh Ashford told me about the Kinky Boots fan who had your signature tattooed on his body…
Stark Sands received his second Tony Award nomination April 30. The actor, who was previously nominated for Journey's End, earned his first Leading Actor in a Musical nomination for his performance as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots and finds himself alongside co-star Billy Porter in the same category for the 2013 Tonys. Although the actors will go toe to toe for Broadway's biggest prize, Sands admitted that he's been rooting for Porter all along. The two-time Tony nominee, who has also been seen on Broadway in American Idiot, wasn't giving himself enough credit at the May 1 Tony Awards press junket. His dynamic performance in the new Broadway musical is parallel with Porter's. His voice soars on Lauper's "The Soul of a Man," and his argumentative confrontations with Porter on stage at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre burn right through the character of Lola. Also, who could resist the dashing leading man when he takes his bow in a pair of red leather "Kinky Boots"?
Congratulations on your Tony nomination! How excited are you?
How does it feel to be up against your co-star, Billy Poter? Is there a bit of competitiveness?
You and Billy share that touching moment in the show, "I'm Not My Father's Son." What was that like last night following the announcement of the Tony nominations?
You have great chemistry with Billy Porter throughout the whole show. What is it like going on that journey with him? Emotionally exhausting?
What excites me is that a lot of the Tony-nominated songwriters are first-time Broadway composers. What is it like getting to sing Cyndi Lauper's score? Was she present throughout the process?
[SPOILER!] Tell me about coming out at the end of the show in those fabulous kinky boots.
Was your wife so proud of you when you came out strutting in heels at the end of the show?
Annaleigh Ashford was just telling me about the Kinky Boots fan who got the show's logo tattooed on the side of his body.

MIDDLETOWN — Vincent J. "Vince" Wilson, Jr., 65, of Middletown, passed away Aug. 21, 2013, at St. Vincent Anderson Regional Hospital.
He was born April 9, 1948, in Gary. He graduated from Portage High School in 1966 and from Valparaiso Technical Institute in 1969. He lived most of his adult life in the Anderson area and retired from Delphi after 34 years.
Vince became deeply involved as one of the founders of the Delphi Salaried Retiree Association (DSRA) in February 2009. In the beginning, he helped to organize the group along with participating in Anderson area membership meetings. He also became an invaluable 'Voice' in the establishment of the DSRA 501(c) non-profit organization, which helped provide affordable healthcare insurance to Delphi Salaried Retirees. He then went on to become the Secretary of the 'Infant' DSRA Benefit Trust (VEBA), and — once again — provided guidance and wisdom that was priceless. His dedication, contributions and sacrifice helped thousands of Delphi Retirees and their families.
He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Linda (Wall) Wilson of Middletown, who was his high school sweetheart; two daughters, Lana (husband, Lee) Bobb of Pendleton and Laci (husband, Rob) Moore of Anderson; three grandchildren, Leah Kopko, Evan Bobb and Sylvia Bobb; brothers-in-law, Wayne Smock of Stone Lake, Wis., and Jim McDaniel of Milton, Fla.; sister-in-law, Elaine Domenick of St. Augustine, Fla.; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Vincent J. and Phyllis (Silkworth) Wilson; brother, Douglas Wilson Sr.; sisters, Sandra Smock and Charlene McDaniel; nephew, Douglas Wilson Jr.; and niece, Kelly McDaniel.
The family would like to thank Dr. Eddy and his wonderful staff; Dr. Howe, Dr. Mares, Dr. Lawlor, and St. Vincent's ICU and 6 South. Thanks also to the Jeff Goodnight family for all their help, especially Kole.
Services will be conducted at 3 p.m. Monday at Brown-Butz-Diedring Funeral Home with Minister Jim Blackwell officiating. Burial will be at Mechanicsburg Cemetery.
Visitation will be from 1 to 3 p.m. Monday at the funeral home.
Memorial contributions may be made to American Cancer Society.

2013 is barely two weeks old, and already Armond White is being his Armond-iest. In case you missed it (via FilmDrunk), the cantankerous, contrarian film critic heckled Michael Moore at the the New York Film Critics Circle awards ceremony this week. In presenting the award for Best First Film to David France for the now Oscar nominated "How to Survive a Plague," Moore reflected that "the Cardinal couldn't get through Mass at St. Patrick's," citing the film's coverage of the ACT UP protests that interrupted Christmas mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral in the '80s, and this set off Armond.
"[Bleep] you!" "You liar!" "Shut up!" and "Drop dead!" he shouted at Moore with a friend. Armond said that Moore "disparaged Catholics," adding, "I was offended...He was there to present the film and not present a personal political diatribe." But Armond being Armond, he had even more to say, describing Moore as "a paranoid leftie buffoon who assumed he was in a room of fellow-travelers" and adding that "as a member of the NYFCC I resent that he used our event for a political platform." But that's not all the burnsauce in the Armond cupboard this week.
White dropped his annual "Better-Than" list which has become a must read each year, if only because it's amusing to see how outrageous he can be in order to get attention. In an assessment of 2012, the list is notable this year for being mostly tame, though there are a couple of choice selections. They deserve to be read in full, so here they are:
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Taken 2 > Zero Dark Thirty
Neveldine-Taylor and Olivier Megaton revealed the post-9/11 zeitgeist in genre tropes, while Bigelow reduced the zeitgeist to an enigmatic comic strip, a "mission accomplished" delusion.
A Thousand Words > Argo
Brian Robbins and Eddie Murphy dared the most personal Hollywood critique since Clifford Odets' The Big Knife; Ben Affleck trivialized Hollywood accountability.
As usual, Armond tends to be watching entirely different versions of movies than the rest of us, finding a "post-9/11 zeitgeist" in brainless, cash grabbing sequels and Hollywood critiques in a shelved Eddie Murphy vehicle. Keep on keepin' on Armond. Read his full list at the New York Press.

Well, hes just not mindlessly following the herd, as way to many critics/ bloggers/ watchers tend to do...
Zinjo | January 11, 2013 1:53 PM
Well like most children, bad attention is the same as good attention so long as it is attention. We should collectively see if he "Jumps the Shark" by simply not reporting on his non-sense and ignoring him.
Now THAT would be amusing...
Chris | January 11, 2013 1:16 PM
He is an entertaining fellow.
Ade | January 11, 2013 12:09 PM
I like Neveldine/Taylor but Ghost Rider 2 was unwatchable.
jimmiescoffee | January 11, 2013 12:04 PM
in all honesty, this person is not right mentally. i mean that. he's either doing it for the ink or he is absolutely mentally ill. saying that any deep thought was behind a film like 'ghost rider 2' is delusion at it's best. i've paid attention to him for years, and the NY Press should be embarrassed.
No | January 11, 2013 10:36 AM
Armond White, the Spike Lee of film criticism. I stopped paying attention to White years ago. If he dislike something that's usually a signal that it is worth seeing.
ben | January 11, 2013 10:03 AM
Please stop writing about Armond White. Don't give this fuckin clown any more attention. He doesn't deserve it and we ignore him, hopefully this nonsense will stop.

price range: $359.99
- Reviewed by: Eric Franklin
- Reviewed on: 04/22/2012
The good: The Asus Transformer Pad TF300's Tegra 3-induced performance more or less matches the Transformer Prime's and goes a step further with a better rear camera, faster Wi-Fi performance, a more responsive screen, and an actual (and official) GPS feature. Micro-HDMI and microSD return, as does the keyboard option. The $350 entry price makes the TF300 the best full-Android tablet value currently on the market.
The bad: The tablet's design isn't as thin, sturdy, or sexy as the Transformer Prime's and feels a bit hollow in comparison. The $150 keyboard dock is still $150. The screen isn't outside-friendly, like the Prime's.
The bottom line: Though it isn't as thin or as sturdy, the Asus Transformer Pad TF300 delivers Prime levels of performance at a more affordable price.

Amazing Tablet for the Price!
by JJParkman on August 4, 2012
Pros: + ICS runs beautifully on this device
+ Display is very bright for indoor use
+ Touchscreen is very responsive
+ Build is pretty solid
+ Battery life is superb
Cons: - Not much bloatware
- Android still lacks a number of tablet based apps
Summary: I have owned this tablet for 10 days now and have used it extensively every day (5+ hours a day). I have to say that I couldn't be happier ...
Summary: I have owned this tablet for 10 days now and have used it extensively every day (5+ hours a day). I have to say that I couldn't be happier with this tablet's performance.
Operating System: 4.5/5
Android Ice Cream Sandwich runs beautifully on this device. I may have an app close on me once every 2 or 3 days. I know apps crash significantly less often on iOS, but you also have to deal with iTunes which I personally find sluggish and heavy. Homescreen and app drawer transitions are very snappy, I never experience any lag. You can fully customize your homescreen with useful widgets like Gmail and weather that automatically updates you without having to open any applications. I always liked Android more than iOS, and it's because of the customization available
Speed: 5/5
This tablet runs applications and videos for me without missing a beat. I've tested it with several Youtube videos, as well as in-browser Amazon Instant Video streaming and I don't experience any lag, even just on balanced mode. I've also run multiple apps at the same time, often switching back and forth between a couple of games and Google Chat, and the processor handles it perfectly. I've had no problems with internet browsing being slow, but I did immediately download Dolphin Browser for Android, so that may have something to do with it. Web pages load almost as fast as they do on my computer. I have no complaints about the speed of the tablet.
Sound: 4/5
There is one speaker towards the right of the device (when holding in landscape) that is slightly awkwardly placed. However, the sound quality is still much better than adequate. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality when using it to watch shows on Amazon Instant Video. You can hear clearly words and music.
Portability: 5/5
The tablet is not heavy, I can hold it in one hand for a long enough time to do what I need to do, and holding it with two hands (while browsing or reading PDF documents for example) is very easy and feels natural. It's a light device that is easy to carry around, and feels sturdy enough so that I don't have to worry too much about damaging it as long as I'm just somewhat careful (it's not like you're going to purposely smash it on the floor or even let it be in a situation like that). The battery life is great as well, I often go 10 hours before needing to charge the tablet, maybe 8 and a half hours for heavy use.
Feel: 5/5
There are some complaints about the plastic back, but I have absolutely none. I love the feel of holding the tablet, the plastic back feels sturdy to me, and it is pleasant to the touch when holding the device. Also, because of the plastic back, I always get excellent Wi-fi reception, and GPS signal is very strong for me. It found me in less than 30 seconds the first time I tried using it, and it updated my position in real-time in a satellite view while in a car.
Display: 5/5*
The display is very bright for indoor use and more than meets my needs. I have only noticed light bleed on the bright black boot-up screen of the device, but if I had never seen the device boot up, I wouldn't have known that there was any. I can never tell when I'm playing games, browsing the web, or reading documents. It's bright and displays colors wonderfully, I have no qualms from the display.
*-the device is difficult to use in direct sunlight. This isn't affecting my score for it because I don't need it or use it in direct sunlight, but you should know if that's what you want to use it for, you should get the Asus Transformer Prime or wait for the Infinity TF700 for a better screen that's made to be viewed in direct sunlight.
Overall: 5/5
I love just about everything about this tablet, and would recommend it to any of my friends and family. For the price of about $400 dollars for this tablet with 32gb of storage, you're getting a light sleek tablet with a quad-core processor and excellent battery life.

A really good tablet with a few issues.
by OmegaCerebro on May 31, 2012
Pros: 1. Price
2. Performance
3. Keyboard dock
4. Surprising loud, albeit not great, speaker(s)
5. Good battery life
Cons: 1. Light bleed
2. No native word processor
3. Sometimes slow and finicky web browser(s)
4. Less than stellar screen resolution and colors

Summary: I was one of those people who always said I'd never buy a tablet. I had absolutely zero interest in owning one; I already had a smartphone, a laptop, a desktop, and a netbook (which I never used), so I was pretty adamant. Then a friend bought me a Nook Color for graduation. The very next day, we traded that for a Nook Tablet and I rooted it in order to make it a "true Android tablet," but was unimpressed by its performance. So, by the third day we'd returned the Nook Tablet and then went to BestBuy where I had every intention of getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.I was wrong about there not being and productivity software. It does have Polaris Office, but this software is so horribly executed and buggy, it may as well not be there. A word of caution: Polaris Office has a known issue with randomly corrupting Word files. People have reported losing homework, term papers, and entire lab reports. USE IT AT YOUR OWN DETRIMENT.
Having read less than impressive reviews on that device, however, I soon found myself torn between a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, the Asus Transformer Prime, and the Asus Transformer Pad TF300. Although I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 smartphone, I opted against the Samsung tablet for two major reasons: 1) The Samsung tablet wasn't quad-core, and 2) Having owned two Samsung smartphones, I knew that Samsung had a terrible track record when it came to updating its devices to the latest Android OS in a timely manner. I mean, my Galaxy S2 STILL doesn't have ICS.
So, it came down to the Transformer Prime and the Transformer Pad. Ultimately, I opted for the Transformer Pad because its plastic construction wasn't as flimsy as I'd been led to believe, and the plastic build also ensured I'd have better wi-fi reception and avoid the issues with GPS and signal strength that the Prime suffered from. With the exception of the Prime's aluminum body, longer-lasting battery, camera flash, and moderately brighter screen, the Pad is practically identical while costing significantly less.
The Pad has the same Tegra 3 quad-core processor as the Prime, and it shows; the Pad is fast, powerful, and fluid. The Pad has surprisingly loud audio, but it lacks stereo output (either because there's just one speaker, or, if there are two speakers, they're too close together). Still, it's far louder than even my laptop. When my screen is black, I notice some light bleed in a few of the corners, but it's nothing major and becomes unnoticeable when the screen is displaying colors other than black. That being said, the Pad's screen is a bit underwhelming. I wouldn't say it's terrible, but the screen on my Galaxy S2 blows this thing out of the water. The Pad's colors aren't as vibrant and text/images aren't nearly as sharp. It took me a while to adjust to the lower resolution and more subdued colors. If you don't already have a mobile device with amazingly high resolution and vivid colors, then you probably won't have any problems with the Pad's screen at all.
The native browser is unforgivably slow and buggy at times. I thought to rectify this problem by downloading the Dolphin tablet browser, and while it is significantly faster than the native browser, it too, has its share of buggy moments. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the future. Still, if you have this tablet (or any other Android tablet, for that matter) I recommend the Dolphin browser over the native one because it's faster and it has the helpful feature of treating your tablet as if it's an actual computer while browsing the web instead of a mobile device; this is very useful in most situations, but particularly when watching Youtube.
As for the battery, I'm impressed. I'm not a heavy user (I mainly use my tablet to play word games and do light web browsing and reading), so I find that I rarely have to charge my Pad, perhaps once every other day. Apps that are optimized for tablets really shine on this device thanks to ICS and the quad-core processor. With the exception of the browsers, I've never had problems with any of the apps that were actually optimized or specifically designed for tablets. I love the keyboard dock. It is, of course, significantly smaller than a regular desktop or laptop keyboard, but if you're at all comfortable with typing on netbooks then you shouldn't have any problems using the keyboard dock. I have fairly large hands for a man, but I still find the keyboard dock adequate, just make sure you turn off the hyper-sensitive track pad while you're typing. Oh, and the keyboard charges the Pad when you dock it, provided the keyboard dock has an adequate charge.
The keyboard dock leads me to my biggest and final gripe with the Pad: it doesn't come with productivity software. This should have been a no-brainer, especially when one considers that Asus made such a functional keyboard dock in the first place. Yes, you can use Google Docs (now merged into Google Drive, if you weren't yet aware), but that presents you with Google Docs' main shortcoming: you need to be connected to the internet in order to use it. If I could open, edit, save, and create word documents without having to be connected to the internet I'd probably get rid of my laptop, or at least relegate it to the same dust-gathering status of my netbook.
So, that was my rather long review of the Asus Transformer Pad TF300. I'm truly pleased with it, despite some shortcomings. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone in the market for an Android tablet. If you've always wanted the Asus Transformer Prime but were put off by its sticker price and/or GPS/wireless issues, then this is absolutely the tablet for you.

Summary: Vendor didn't respond to my questions/concerns
They block the video from videos rented from Android play if displaying on remote TV via micro HDMI, but can remote tablet display on remote tv. Even fully charged tablet and keyboard hold charge seperated but discharge when connected. I like the tablet but I would not buy the seperate keyboard again. Can't open psw protected excel spreadsheets. Service vendors like netfliks don't support movies without using brower which is a weak solution at best.

Summary: I was debating between the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 and Asus Transformer Prime. Made my choice to go with the Prime and was days away from ordering it. However, before I could place my order the TF300 came out with just about the same specs as the Prime, but with better wi-fi and GPS connection. Plus it was $100 cheaper. This was a no-brainer. The only tablet I have to compare it to is my wife's Nook which is also a good tablet, but it is too small for my liking and has a closed Android O/S. The TF300 handles very well; it's fast and has a bright crisp screen, runs ICS and has 32 GB of storage. Also it's easy on the hands and does not run hot. This tablet will easily match up with any tablet on the market now including the Ipad, Prime and Galaxy but for hundreds less.

Great, fast and thin pad.
by chinoxl3 on April 30, 2012
Pros: - Nice bright colorful screen.
- Plastic is sturdy regardless of what critics say.
- Has 32Gb of storage
- It only cost me $389
- No need to connect to a PC for updates like Apple.
- Comes with cloud storage.
- Did I mention it only cost me $389?
Cons: - Only one speaker.
- Some minor issues with touch screen but I believe its because I'm running GoThemes.

Summary: I love the new Asus TF300. I was debating between the IPAD and ASUS and decided to get ASUS. The fact that you can run Flash, use live wallpapers and can update your software wirelessly convinced me that Android was the way to go. Some of the critics are claiming it is heavier than the IPAD 3 but really, do you care if one weights .07 more than the other? Overall, paying $389 over a $499 IPAD 3 is a better investment and the ASUS is just as good as the IPAD and will do just about the same thing.

Great,well-design table worth the price!
by thenakster on September 8, 2012
Pros: Wifi and GPS work well
Integrates surprisingly well with other devices for playing music and video, and printing.
Surprisingly good sound
Good support for apps
Clean, well-thought-out interface in ICS that runs like a charm
Fast and responsive
Cons: This device doesn't show up well outdoors. The display could be upgraded.
The browser does seem sluggish. Google's chrome browser seems much better, but suffers from not being able to play music from multiple cloud sources much like the iPad.
Summary: This device surprised me in its capability. It runs ICS without flaw so far and the interface is pleasing and easy to use. Applications load and run fast, and to ...
Summary: This device surprised me in its capability. It runs ICS without flaw so far and the interface is pleasing and easy to use. Applications load and run fast, and to my surprise the browser is able to display pages well. As one reviewer pointed out it does seem sluggish, BUT it is able to interpret web page content better than my ipad, supports HTML5 better (for the geeks out there) and doesn't require some silly "two-finger" scrolling for internal scrolled components. It is also able to play my music content in the cloud, which my iPad somehow fails to do. So big plus there! And it is able to load pages my iPad has a tough time handling and only partially loads.
One of the biggest surprises was in the automatic detection of the device with my DNLA server for music and videos AND detection of my HDTV to play it on. I can control everything right from this device!! All automatic and easy to setup/use. And I didn't even know this capability existed in the device. Way cool.
I also appreciate being able to access google play from anywhere, including the web, and install on any of my android devices. The device has automatic backup to the cloud as well. This is big on my list, as Apple's software decided to wipe out all my personal data on a sync to a computer, without warning and with no backup restore available for that data. Of course, I am trusting a restore will work on this device, but the concept of backup/restore seems much better thought out on this device.
WiFi works well As does GPS. Problems with the 200 model (from what I have read) seem to be fixed with this device.
Kindle comes up fine, although for reading this suffers from the bright screen just like the iPad compared with the superior eInk provided on a Kindle (and I still prefer eInk). The screen is also not as well displayed outside, but I rarely use this outside.
Google docs works well on this device, with the limitation of a touch keyboard if you don't have the keyboard extension like me. I installed (fairly easily) google cloud print via my google chrome browser on my machine. Google cloud pring worked wonderfully. It just worked! I wanted to try this because having Apple devices even notice my printer has always been problematic, and printing from my iPad wasn't even an option anyway. Yeah for this device and for Google for making this easy.
Other nifty features that I like include the animated background, with a water level that shows battery charge left. And so far, support for apps appears as good as the iPad, at least for the apps I am interested in.
Overall this device provides a REAL step forward in tablets, integrating seamlessly with other devices (without special expensive equipment) to control them, with a responsive and well-though-out interface. It provides the function and value I expect from a mobile tablet device with a great price.

Summary: I was also debating between this and the Samsung Galaxy 10.1. After reading CNET's reviews, Consumer Reports and talking to the sales guy at the store, I decided on this one. 32 GB for the same price as the Samsung 16GB was a deciding factor. Just got it earlier this week, and so far, am really enjoying it. Love the live wallpaper, and the fact that the "water" wallpaper choices actually shows your battery level!
I also like having the option to purchase the separate keyboard dock at some point.

Summary: I have this exact tablet and the Android ICS OS on it you really don't miss a beat for doing just about anything a laptop lets you do. I would highly recommend this tablet over anything to do with Apple, seems much faster, lighter in weight and easier to use than the iPad3.Always thought tablets were a gimmick, but I regrettably have started to desire one after using a few firsthand.

Summary: I've used ipad 1&2, dell streak, galaxy tab and asus transformers 101, 102 prime and now the TF300. For overall performance and unencumbered usage, the TF300 beats them all. The prime would be closest, but the wifi and gps issues just don't make it useful enough. The ipad are good for noobies and those who want to stay in the walled in garden of apple. The streak and tab are just too under powered.I traded in my ipad for the TF300 and have been extremely happy. Ipad is great for noobies and the less knowledgeable users. Apple created a nice little walled in garden for people to play apps, listen to music and surf the net, but if you want any thing else, to bad.
The biggest pro I found was the price to specs ratio, TF300 wins in a landslide.
Updated on Jun 26, 2012
Yes, the screen isn't as great, but the human eye can't always see the differences. Yes, its possible to get malware on an android, but there are free apps for that. Yes there is only one speaker on the TF300, but its the best speaker i've ever heard on any tablet, laptop or netbook. My wife is constantly asking me to turn mine down cause she cant here her laptop over my TF300.
But its all about choice, if you believe a ipad is better for you, get one. Just don't put down on the TF300 because its not an ipad.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Nate Tomlinson and Austin Dufault were 0-10 on the road as true freshmen.
Colorado finished 9-22 overall and dead last in the Big 12 with a 1-15 conference record during the painful 2008-09 aging process.
The seniors were all smiles after Colorado's beastly yet beautiful 63-49 victory over Arizona State on Saturday night at Wells Fargo Arena.
The Buffs (17-8 overall, 9-4 conference) remain tied for third-place in the Pac-12 with Arizona (9-4) and Oregon (9-4), one game behind Cal (10-3) and a half game behind Washington (9-3) in the standings.
"It feels good," Tomlinson said after CU's critical Grand Canyon State split. "We've played everyone, and I feel confident in my team that we should be in this top echelon of the league.
"If we keep improving, we can win this thing."
This year's freshmen duo -- Askia Booker and Spencer Dinwiddie -- aren't exactly suffering the way their senior point guard and forward did three years ago.
Booker scored all nine of his points in the first half while Spencer Dinwiddie poured in all 15 of his points in the second half.
The one-two punch knocked the Sun Devils out cold.
"I let my team down on Thursday night against Arizona a little bit," said Booker, who went 0-for-6 from the field during CU's 71-57 loss in Tucson. "I wasn't there mentally. Tonight, I came out prepared and I was able to compete."
Dinwiddie, who played a team-high 16 minutes in the first half without taking a shot, went 4-for-6 from the field and 4-for-4 at the free-throw line after the intermission.
"This is a big win for us to stay in the Pac-12 race," Dinwiddie said. "The ride home after a loss is terrible. The coaches don't speak to anybody, the players are kind of silent. It's going to be a fun mood flying back after this win."
Dinwiddie made a 3-pointer to get the Buffs started in the second half. After a triple by Tomlinson and a put-back by Dufault, CU suddenly had a 10-point lead.
"I think (Dinwiddie) was more aggressive," head coach Tad Boyle said. "He didn't take a shot in the first half, and I really respect Spencer for that because he's a good offensive player. He let the game come to him."
Dinwiddie finished off the decisive 18-5 run with another rhythm jumper from behind the arc to make the score 39-26 with 14:40 remaining.
The Sun Devils (8-17, 4-9), who lost 69-54 in Boulder on Jan. 19, fell to 3-3 at home in Pac-12 play. CU improved to 2-4 on the road in the conference.
"You can tell your program has come a long way when you go on the road and expect to win," Boyle said. "We expected to win this game."
CU closed the first half on a 7-0 run and took a 28-21 lead into the locker room.
Booker sparked the lethargic Buffs off the bench. CU turned the ball over eight times but forced 12 miscues by Arizona State before the break.
The Sun Devils only made eight field goals and shot 34.8 percent from the field in the first half, however, four 3-pointers and four second-chance points kept them in the game.
"Our biggest problem was turnovers," Arizona head coach Herb Sendek said. "Obviously, those really helped fuel Colorado's transition game, which can be a challenge even on made field goals."
The Buffs fell behind 5-0 and failed to get on the scoreboard until Carlon Brown's layup 3:53 into the game. A 6-0 run capped with an Andre Roberson dunk provided CU with its first lead (8-7) with 13:01 left before the intermission.
Arizona State did not score again in the first half after a driving hoop by Carrick Felix tied the score with 2:54 remaining.
CU finished the game with a 31-22 scoring edge in the paint, converted 15 points off 15 Sun Devil turnovers, and had an 11-2 edge in fast-break points. Those statistics more than offset the Buffs' 14 turnovers and seven missed free throws.
Dufault finished with 12 points and six rebounds. Roberson added 12 points and nine rebounds for the visitors. Tomlinson had five points, four assists and did a solid job of guarding Trent Lockett (3-for-8 shooting, 10 points), Arizona State's leading scorer and rebounds.
The Buffs don't play again until next Saturday at Utah.
"Old people like me need rest," Tomlinson said with a sly grin. "We'll be able to take a couple days off and get ready for Utah and another road win."

ATLANTA (AP) - A new president has been chosen to lead Georgia Highlands College.
University System of Georgia Board of Regents Chair Philip Wilheit, Sr. says Donald Green will assume the post on September 8. Green was the vice president for extended and international operations at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan.
He also has served as vice chancellor and vice president at Ferris State. He also has been an administrator and teacher at Grand Rapids Community College and Davenport University, both in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Wilheit says Green is an ideal choice because of his experience working with multiple campuses at Ferris State. Georgia Highlands serves about 5,700 students in northwest Georgia.
Former Georgia Highlands College President Randy Pierce retired in December 2011. Two interim presidents have served since that time.

FOX 5 has learned that more dogs were mistakenly euthanized by a veterinarian.As reported last week, Cheryl Bohannon's said her two dogs, Fendi and Coco, escaped from her yard and were picked up by Douglas County animal control. They were later sent to veterinarian Dr. Julie Lugar for an examination, where they were put to death by mistake.Two other dogs were also euthanized by Lugar, FOX 5 has learned.Lugar, who was out of town when contacted FOX 5, confirmed via telephone that she didn't read the paperwork and had put all four dogs down."I can't tell you why it happened," Lugar said. "I can't tell you why I did what I did. I did make a mistake. It was a horrible, horrible mistake that I cannot change."Lugar said that she has changed procedures since the dogs were euthanized. She said that at least two people will review the paperwork before a dog is put down."I wish I could change things and I can't. I ask forgiveness for a mistake," said Lugar.Bohannon said that Lugar had called and apologized for the mistake."She called and gave me her sincere apologies and I admire her for owning up to it but still, she needs to be held responsible for what she's done," said Bohannon.Bohannon said that she would like to see put in place at the county level to prevent mistakes like these in the future.

Illuminator is a good poster. He sticks to his guns and makes good points. Some don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t like that.
I get a catalog every so often called "tools for freedom", they had an advertisement called "How to stop a foreclosure with a single question to your banker". They wanted 12$ for a detailed description about what the question was, so I just Googled what the question was and this is one of many sites that had this question........ www.stopthefraud2010.com This site was created by a Patriot former Federal judge that knows the truth. Banks loan you nothing. Under HJR-192 passed June 3,1933 all real money was removed from our system and replaced with the Promissory Note standard. When you sign the Promissory note it is monetized and the Bank is paid in full 72 hours later. Your blue ink signature creates the money, they loaned you nothing. Any Foreclosure can be stopped with one question: "SHOULD THE ONE WHO FUNDED THE LOAN BE THE ONE WHO IS REPAID THE MONEY DEBT?". If the answer is yes or no, the banks must zero out the false debt on their fraudulently created none-existent loan. There was no lawful loan made by the bank to so-called borrower. All banksters, Politicians, and Judges know this truth, and they fear the wrath of the public should their dirty secret ever become known by a critical mass of people that they have for decades been defrauding. The so called borrower. Banksters will not answer this in any courtroom in the world because they know that the borrower is the one who actually funded the loan. They also know that the evidence of this fact can easily be found in the bookkeeping loan entries of the bank, according to GAAP(Generally accepted accounting principles). BANKING IS A SCAM AT EVERY LEVEL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Do you think this is possible?

A workforce program in Southwest Georgia is not only helping people get jobs, it's also giving the economy a big boost.
"Southwest Georgia Workforce 44" is an evolving program serving 14 counties.
Dougherty County commissioners got an update Monday on its success in providing job training to those in need.
The program strives to match the demands from surrounding businesses.
"We have a high unemployment rate, so what we want to be able to do is talk with businesses to be able to find out what it is that they look for in employees, future employees," said Charles Williams the Executive Director of Workforce Development.
Some commissioners say this is a vital program which also helps young people gain certain skills they may not learn in school.
"This program provides them with some measure of understanding of what happens in the business world. And I just think it's absolutely an essential program," said Commissioner Gloria Gaines.

CB Alphonso Smith, by most accounts, has been a success story in Detroit since coming over in a trade from the Broncos, but he came under fire for his poor play in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Patriots. Yet the Lions still believe Smith, who is a hard worker, will be fine. He spends a lot of time watching film and perfecting his technique and could turn out to be another Dré Bly, perhaps even a little more well-rounded in his craft. Smith has good instincts, but he tends to gamble when there is a play to be made on the ball. That gambling nature was what hurt him in allowing a 79-yard touchdown to Patriots WR Deion Branch. Although Smith also had a poor attempt at a tackle on that play, that was probably more of an exception, as he has shown a willingness to hit all season before and since then.

House explosion
GRANDVIEW, Texas — It looks like an overwhelming mess of insulation and shredded papers. Then it hits you that these are pieces of a life lived here with an ending so tragic some can barely stand to see it.
"The devastation looks like a tornado hit it. This is just a... I don't know how to put the words to it," said Anthony Broyles, the nephew of the couple who called this particular plot of land in Grandview home.
He can't describe the devastation because use he still can't believe what happened. This was the site of the home Wanda Davis worked so hard to build. A beautiful A-frame that she and her husband Gary called home.
They were the ultimate hosts for their family every season.
"This is where we had 4th of July parties, Thanksgiving dinners, the family Christmas parties," said Melanie Broyles, Anthony's wife.
Those memories — and the chance to make more — blew apart in one minute.
Davis, 62, was home alone at 11 p.m. Saturday when her home turned to rubble. Investigators blame a propane gas leak that ignited water heaters for the devastating blast.
They had hoped she wasn't home, but rescue teams found her body on Sunday afternoon.
Broyles had no trouble describing her aunt: "Sweet, caring, loving... she'd give you the shirt off her back."
To have her taken in such a shocking way is painful. Both her and the house, just gone.
"The main beam that you see here is the main beam of the house. That's the only main beam I see," said Anthony Broyles said as he examined the wreckage.
Without much left, the family is trying to dig out what they can to help remember Davis, and the home she created for everyone here.

PHOENIX (AP) - An El Mirage man who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of his father has been sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 47-year-old Albert Rodriguez Arias was sentenced Wednesday.
Arias was arrested last April on suspicion of first-degree murder and originally pleaded not guilty in the case.
He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder on Jan. 11.
Police found 76-year-old Pete Arias bleeding from six stab wounds at his home in El Mirage, located west of Phoenix. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Court records show Albert Arias told police that he was tired of being abused by his father and he had "lost it" and stabbed him.

While the world was gripped by the crisis over Syria's chemical weapons and the West stepped towards and then back from brink of military intervention, a letter reached us from a doctor working in the city of Homs.
(Warning: Some viewers might find this footage distressing)
It was a disturbing dispatch from his own front line – a makeshift medical centre somehow still functioning in the shattered rebel streets of the Old City; streets that have been under siege by government forces for 500 days.
Here's a little of what Dr Mosab wrote:
Four hundred families, most of them are women, children, and injured...living under the worst circumstances imaginable.
We have to drink from polluted wells and wash in the sewage water. We eat leaves and rotten rice.
Sick people here do not die due to medical treatment, but because of hunger and severe malnutrition, unhealed wounds, severe lack of food and absence of basic human necessities.
Dr Mosab made us this video too.
His is a world of trenches and tunnels through which they rush patients to avoid snipers, of out-of-date medicine, of operating theatres without fresh, clean water, of teenage boys who act as assistants.
To watch is to admire the persistence of humanity amid so much inhumanity, and then to wonder how long can they continue.
For there are now countless Syrians who are beyond help; beyond the reach of aid agencies.
This week, the Red Cross reported that the Syrian government is preventing it from delivering medical supplies to rebel areas.
One disfiguring feature of an ugly war has been the practice of both regime and rebels to target medical centres and health workers.
According to the World Health Organisation, a third of Syrian hospitals have been destroyed and a further twenty per cent severely damaged, while an estimated 15,000 doctors have been forced to flee abroad according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
Dr Mosab ends his letter with a simple appeal to the international community: "We are waiting for your help."
But no one can tell when that help will arrive, or indeed whether it will arrive at all.

Each week throughout the season, PFW executive editor and resident Packers expert Dan Arkush hooks up with a personality who has connections with the Packers and asks him five Packer-related questions. This week Dan connects with ex-Packer Greg Koch, a fixture at right tackle in Green Bay from 1977-85.
1. Is Aaron Rodgers playing quarterback right now as well as anybody you have EVER seen?
Koch: He's playing better than anyone in the NFL this season, but the quarterback always get too much credit when times are good and too much blame when times are bad. He has arguably the best receiving corps as a group in the NFL, but he has been great. Best ever? Don't know about that. I saw Montana, Marino, Manning and even Brady play at similar levels, so it's hard to compare.
2. The Vikings are a two-TD underdog on the early Vegas line for the game this coming Monday night. Is that too many points?
Koch: I usually don't like big point spreads in rivalry games, and the Packers-Vikings is definitely that. However, with a rookie quarterback for Minnesota, and despite the struggles Green Bay's defense is having at the moment, I would not bet against the Pack.
3. I lobbied hard for C Scott Wells to make PFW's Midseason All-Pro first team to no avail (he was beaten out by Buffalo's Eric Wood). Should Wells have made the team?
Koch: I really like the kid in Houston, Chris Myers, and you can't argue the Texans have the most explosive running game in the NFL. But as a complete player — and with Myers having some difficulty with the bigger nosemen — I would have to go with Wells. I still predict Buffalo will fall by the wayside as the season progresses.
4. Right now, what other team in the NFC besides Green Bay scares you the most?
Koch: I never thought these words would come out of my mouth, but the team in the NFC that would scare me is the New York Giants. Eli Manning must think he is Peyton this year because he is playing outstanding, and I always considered him overrated. Defense wins in the NFL, and the Giants can play defense. No other team, not even the "dream team" in Philly, should scare the Pack.
5. All eyes are on Rodgers these days, as he looks like a league MVP in the making. Aside from him, which individual Packers player will you be watching the closest the second half of the season and why?
Koch: Some people are down on Jermichael Finley because they think he is not having the kind of season he should be having. As stated above, with the receiving corps the Packers have, there just are so many times you can get targeted in that scheme, especially with the heightened play of Jordy Nelson. But I still think Finley is second only to Antonio Gates at tight end, and I will be looking to see how much of the load he will get to carry down the stretch.

Homeland Security:
Preliminary Observations on Efforts to Target Security Inspections of Cargo Containers
GAO-04-325T: Published: Dec 16, 2003. Publicly Released: Dec 16, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8816
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
After the attacks of September 11, 2001, concerns intensified that terrorists would attempt to smuggle a weapon of mass destruction into the United States. One possible method for terrorists to smuggle such a weapon is to use one of the 7 million cargo containers that arrive at our nation's seaports each year. The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is responsible for addressing the potential threat posed by the movement of oceangoing cargo containers. Since CBP cannot inspect all arriving cargo containers, it uses a targeting strategy, which includes an automated targeting system. This system targets some containers for inspection based on a perceived level of risk. In this testimony, GAO provides preliminary findings on its assessment of (1) whether CBP's development of its targeting strategy is consistent with recognized key risk management and computer modeling practices and (2) how well the targeting strategy has been implemented at selected seaports around the country.
CBP has taken steps to address the terrorism risks posed by oceangoing cargo containers. These include establishing a National Targeting Center, refining its automated targeting system, instituting a national training program for its personnel that perform targeting, and promulgating regulations to improve the quality and timeliness of data on cargo containers. However, while CBP's strategy incorporates some elements of risk management, it does not include other key elements, such as a comprehensive set of criticality, vulnerability and risk assessments that experts told GAO are necessary to determine risk and the types of responses necessary to mitigate that risk. Also, CBP's targeting system does not include a number of recognized modeling practices, such as subjecting the system to peer review, testing and validation. By incorporating the missing elements of a risk management framework and following certain recognized modeling practices, CBP will be in a better position to protect against terrorist attempts to smuggle weapons of mass destruction into the United States. CBP faces a number of challenges at the six ports we visited. CBP does not have a national system for reporting and analyzing inspection statistics and the data provided to us by ports were generally not available by risk level, were not uniformly reported, were difficult to interpret, and were incomplete. CBP officials told us they have just implemented a new module for their targeting system, but it is too soon to tell whether it will provide consistent, complete inspection data for analyzing and improving the targeting strategy. In addition, CBP staff that received the national targeting training were not tested or certified to ensure that they had learned the basic skills needed to provide effective targeting. Further, space limitations and safety concerns about inspection equipment constrained the ports in their utilization of screening equipment, which has affected the efficiency of examinations.

The Empathic Buddha: Video of talk at Buddhafield Festival 2013
Here's a talk at wonderfully sunny Buddhafield Festival 2013 on 'The Empathic Buddha'.
How did the Buddha embody empathy? How did he make it the basis of compassion? I recount a number of incidents from the life of the Buddha, share my understanding of empathy in a Buddhist context, and explore how empathy is the basis for both compassion and ethics. I hope you find it helpful.

Bodh Gaya, India: Living Compassion Retreat, Dec 28 – Jan 3
How do we bring compassion to our daily lives? This retreat will combine:
- Meditation sessions including guided reflections and open sits.
- Nonviolent Communication (NVC) exercises to bring empathy and compassion into our everyday lives and relationships.
- Stories from the life of the Buddha: how did he embody empathy? How did he make empathy the basis of ethics and compassion?
- How do we develop empathy for those we love and extend it even to our enemies?
- Time at the Bodhi Tree and absorbing the special atmosphere of Bodh Gaya at this time of year.
Led by Shantigarbha (internationally certified with the Centre for Nonviolent Communication and long-time member of the Triratna Buddhist Order)
Location: Three Jewels Centre, Bodh Gaya, Bihar, India.
Languages: This retreat will be conducted in English and Hindi.
Dates for this retreat
Start: Saturday 28th December, 2013 with an evening meal.
End: Friday 3rd January 2014 at midday.
This retreat is immediately followed by a 'Living Compassion' Locals' Retreat for 100-150 Biharis. The 'Locals' Retreat runs from Friday 3rd Jan. – Sunday 5th Jan. You are invited to stay on and support this Locals' Retreat. Accommodation and food charges apply for the Locals Retreat.
Our financial principles
We want to contribute to life. To this end, we would like to:
(i) make this retreat part of the Gift (Dana) Economy. The leader/trainer, Shantigarbha, is giving his time and energy for free. If there is a surplus, it will be split between him and the Three Jewels Centre.
(ii) support the local people of Bodh Gaya. Our aim is for the Living Compassion retreat to provide funding and infrastructure for a 2-day Locals' Retreat that immediately follows. The retreat will include meditation, Communication exercises and Buddhist ritual. Our understanding is that the local Biharis are unable to pay for retreats, so we are planning to offer this retreat to them for free.
See http://seedofpeace.org/?p=2333 for more details and how to book on this retreat.
Love and life.
Celebrating the Kochi NVC Convention

For those of you who are in the Pune area, I'm offering an 'Advanced' NVC training on Feb 19-20th. Information here.

Tree of Compassionate Connection
Hi All, I've been working this over the summer and now I'm ready to share it with the world!
The Tree is a way of understanding the 'Big Picture' including the intention to connect compassionately and the specific skills of self-empathy, empathy and self-expression. Compassionate connection means connecting in ways that lead to everyone's needs being valued and met. The image makes it clear that the intention to connect compassionately is the heart wood of this tree. It also makes clear that self-empathy is the roots of the tree. In our inner world we reach down and outwards in self-connection. In the outer world we reach up and outwards to connect with others in empathy and self-expression. There is a relationship between the roots and the branches. The extent to which we have grown the roots of self-empathy corresponds to the extent to which we can reach out to others through empathy and expression.
A story illustrates the importance of the 'roots' of self-connection. The Eden Project in Cornwall, UK is home to the two largest 'biomes' in the world. Since 2001 these giant conservatories have housed various tropical and Mediterranean trees. In recent years a number of the trees have fallen down, much to the surprise of the Eden Project's creators. Why was this? Surely these trees were some of the most protected in the world. When they did an 'autopsy' on the trees, they found that they had no roots to speak of! Growing up in giant conservatories, the trees never felt the wind, so they didn't develop roots. No wind, no roots! It turns out that some wind is necessary for the stability of the organism. Without it, a tree won't feel its roots challenged, and put effort into developing deeper and wider roots. Too much wind at any time may still blow the tree over or distort its growing shape. However if there's no wind, there will be no roots!

Love and life, Shantigarbha
