Lot 1554
Pours an effervescent amber a thumb of cream colored head. Sheets of lacing & pretty good head retention
S: Tropical fruit & breadyness, & a little boozeyness, then grapefruit
T: Pineapple & breadyness, some woody hops with a touch of astringency up front. Dryness, pineapple, grapefruit, a little mango & bready sweetness as this warms. Finishes grapefruitty, with a little pineapple& bready sweetness
MF: Medium bodied, fairly restrained carbonation, good balance, warming
A very enjoyable DIPA, this brewery has pleased me very much so far

Bottle from Tipples. Lot 1554 but no bottle date. Pours a deep dark orange red color with a beautifully creamy two finger off white head. Aroma is floral hop notes, rich bready malts, crisp and grassy. Flavor is big time caramel malts here, light fruity and floral hop notes, and a dry floral finish. Medium plus mouthfeel, strong bitterness, and medium plus carbonation. The malts really dominate here and it comes off like a very solid American style barleywine than a hoppy DIPA. No bottle date but I assume this is fresh based on the source of the bottle. In any case solid beer, but go in thinking the other end of the DIPA spectrum from the likes of Heady Topper or even Enjoy By.

Pint poured at Beef O'Brady's in Newburgh, IN.
Pleasant amber color with nice fence lace.
Aroma is pine and bitter citrus. Not great, not bad.
Taste is heavy pine and bitter hops. Plenty of malts to give it a nearly sweet edge. Quite drinkable. This one I really liked, especially following up what (to me) was a sub-par Atwater Hop-A-Peel IPA.

[12 oz. bottle ] Pours a nice crisp and clear medium amber color with 2/3 finger creamy white head. Small and large bubbles exist. Cool label with pliers squeezing hop cone into pint glass.
Smells slightly citrus orange. Some sweet breadiness/biscuit in there too. slight alcohol. could be more aromatic for my liking in a DIPA.
Definitely more hop in the taste than the smell. Lots of orange citrus, but smooth bitternesss and sweet caramel hit you up front on this one. a little bit of pine too. nice medium body and slightly syrupy mouth feel, but not over the top. balanced pretty well with the 9.9% ABV. carbonation is spot on.
Finishes bitter and malty with a lil alcohol heat.
Pretty good DIPA. I'd drink it again.

12oz. bottle poured into imperial pint glass.
A: Hazy autumnal amber/orange hue with tons of floating sediment dancing around in the glass. Not 100% sure if that's yeast or hops, but either way, it gives this a mouthwatering unfiltered appearance. The amber-tinged head is lackluster, even after a moderately vigorous pour, and it certainly doesn't stick around for long, but the lacing left behind is wispy, abundant, and worth noting.
S: The nose isn't strong, but a big whiff picks up some pleasant aromas. Juicy citrus, red grapefruit and orange mostly, balanced out (perhaps a little to balanced) by some caramel malts. Was hoping for more of a hop-lead aroma, but nothing to cry about here, because the hops certainly aren't scarce.
T: The flavor is far bigger than the nose would imply. The initial sip is a total hop assault that kind of leaps across the spectrum. A fresh juice medly upfront: grapefruit, orange, pineapple, and there's something else fruity going on in there. I'm not 100% on what it is, but it's definitely there. Towards the middle is a very sturdy caramel malt backbone that adds a little too much sweetness for my liking, but luckily it doesn't linger around too long before being pushed off-stage by some dank, grassy bitterness in the finish. The booze isn't completely shrouded, but it's definitely masked quite well and only shows its face late in the finish, adding a bit of heat and a strange metallic flavor from time to time.
M: Definitely medium-heavy, but not full. Smooth, considerably creamy with a somewhat subdued carbonation.
O: This was kind of purchased on a whim. I had never heard of it before, but the label looked interesting and I can't turn down an opportunity to try a new IPA. Hop Centric, while not strong enough to stand in the ring with the bigger hop wallops, provides a heck of a bite, but keeps the sweetness of caramel malts on deck to balance things out to provide a smooth, even flavor that satisfies. A great beer that I would recommend to those who like a lot of malt presence in their big IPAs.

FROM THE PRESS BOX: Poll Madness
The great Mark Twain once wrote "There are lies, damned lies and statistics."
In this new era of the Internet, there are hundreds of college football polls, indexes and ratings. Some are factually based, like the Fathead/Sports Network Top 25, which is voted on by the media that cover the Football Championship Subdivison teams.
And then there is the Bilo College Football Report .
In the interest of full disclosure, I had never heard of this website before I got an email from my "Google Alerts" system telling me of this new story with Jacksonville University in it.
I click on the link and BAM! Low and behold, it's a new top 25 poll for the FCS and guess who is in at number four – YOUR JU DOLPHINS!!!
The frustrating part of this poll is that there is no explanation of how you earn points, if it is a voting based poll or just a performance index like the Sagarin ratings.
Yes, the win at Old Dominion was huge for the JU program. To go up there and win a game in front of 20,000 rabid fans was an unbelievable experience. To have a young defense make big play after big play when we needed them was a sight to behold. To see our offense get rolling for more than 450 yards in the final three quarters was a thing of beauty.
To see 19,800 (we had 200 tickets for the game) people walk out of Foreman Field in an unhappy mood and voicing their displeasure as we were making our way back to the locker room was reminiscent of winning a game at an SEC opponent.
That win, somehow or another, pushed JU to be ranked fourth in the country while the team we're facing this week – Appalachian State - comes in at number five after rallying to beat Chattanooga. To give you a better perspective of the poll, perennial nation power and last year's finalist, Montana, is not even in the top 25.
Like we said in the Facebook post earlier this week – we've never heard of this poll, but we sure do like it!

When Hermann Sorger, the engineer behind the world-famous Pani projectors, decided to expand into the UK and Ireland with his company Lighting Innovation, he called upon Peter Ed of PE Consulting. "We needed someone who understands the peculiarities and needs of the British theatre and opera house markets," said Sorger, main engineer of the Pani large-format projector and founder of Austria-based Lighting Innovation, which he established in 1997 with Harald and Birgitta Sorger. "I've known Peter for over 10 years and he's the ideal person to communicate the benefits of our products to British technicians, specifiers, and consultants."
Peter Ed has worked with some of the industry's most influential global entertainment technology companies over his 24 years in the business. "I am delighted to be working with such a big industry name as Hermann Sorger," Ed commented. "He joined Pani in 1955 and began designing projectors in 1967. Today's Pani equipment has many design characteristics that can be traced back to Hermann. He's a remarkable man and was the first winner of the PLASA Achievement award."
Ed launched PE Consulting earlier this year to provide business development expertise to entertainment technology and themed entertainment companies that wish to grow business in new markets and countries. The firm has great plans for the range of Lighting Innovation products. "The product range was extremely well received at the recent ABTT show, with a number of people expressing an interest," said Ed.
Installations of Lighting Innovation products include the Volksteater in Austria, Finlandia Hall in Finland, Etcetera Theatre in Russia, and Denver Center of Performing Arts in the US. Most recently, Theatre Projects Consultants specified 62 Motoryokes from Lighting Innovation for Esplanade Theatres on the Bay in Singapore, due to open in October 2002.

Nearly two months after having weight loss surgery, MasterChef judge Graham Elliot has lost 91 lbs.
"It's going to be a huge party when I hit 299 lbs.," says the Chicago-based chef, who is just six pounds shy of his goal.
"That will be the first time in well over a decade that I've been under 300 [lbs.] I see people on the street who are the size I was only a few months ago, and it's like, 'Man, I wish you could feel what I am feeling right now, it's absolutely life-changing.' "

Graham Elliot has some great news to share. The Chicago-based chef, who underwent surgery for a sleeve gastrectomy on July 16, has lost a dramatic amount of weight already.
"I started [weighing] 396 and I'm now at 340. That's even better than expected," the MasterChef judge, 36, tells PEOPLE.
"I feel amazing. I have a lot more energy," he adds. "I'm able to play tag with my 6-year-old son, [Mylo]. He said, 'You're way faster than you were.' He's so excited."
The chef, who stands 6'1", admits that slimming down hasn't come easy.

If so, then you won't believe what Gordon Ramsay and Graham Elliot were able to create in just five minutes on a recent episode of MasterChef.
As seen in this clip from the TV show, the two chefs were able to plate culinary masterpieces in less time than it takes most of us to order a pizza. Ramsay makes caramelized scallops with roasted endive and fresh cauliflower puree, while Elliot whips up grilled wild salmon with a beet juice reduction, sautéed beet greens and a beet salad with mustard vinaigrette.

MasterChef judge Graham Elliot has a very good reason for missing out on Tuesday night's All-Stars baseball game.
Instead of joining the winners of the challenge from last week's show, he will be recovering from major weight loss surgery.
This Tuesday morning, the 6'2" acclaimed chef, 36, underwent a sleeve gastrectomy after nearly hitting 400 pounds.
"Weight is something I've battled all my life," says Elliot, who spoke to PEOPLE just days before the laparoscopic surgery. "It's hard to get in and out of a car, tie my shoe or play with my kids."

This is an excellent article & addresses a lot of the issues that were brought up this week on PPO. Now lets put all negativity aside, play football & kick butt!
"Star Trek fans will recall fondly the way their heroes described unexplainable, mysterious irregularities they encountered while seeking new worlds and new civilizations. Anomaly ... as in, Captain, the anomaly appears to be growing. There is no logical explanation for its existence. But at its current rate, it will consume this vessel in 1.9 seconds.
With perhaps a subconscious reference to his youth, Vikings coach Mike Tice used the same word to describe his team's stunning offensive collapse last week in the season opening game against Tampa Bay. In a 24-13 loss, the Vikings offense produced their lowest yardage total (248) since 2001 and went without a touchdown for the first time in 49 games.
Hands wrung throughout the Upper Midwest. Was it a sign of things to come in the post-Randy Moss era? Have we reached the end of Vikings football as we know it? Or was it merely, well, a blip on the radar screen of your nearest starship?
Fans watched in horror last week.Lisa BlumenfeldGetty Images"We're thinking this is more a one-time thing than a weekly thing," Tice said. "I think everybody across the board believes it that way. ... It's not panic-button time. Hopefully, it's an anomaly. And I think it is. It's not a weekly occurrence. I feel confident we will be a lot better this week."
Is it quite that simple? Will the Vikings offense come roaring back with its typical 350-yard, three-touchdown game today against Cincinnati? Or has it reached a startling crisis one week into a 16-game season?
Inside we break down the four key elements of their offensive attack.
Recent history: The Vikings' interior line got crushed by Tampa Bay defensive tackles Anthony McFarland and Chris Hovan. No one could stop their interior pass rush, and almost no running lanes materialized. All five positions were at fault, but most of the blame fell to center Cory Withrow and guards Marcus Johnson and Chris Liwienski.
It's an anomaly because ... the Bucs posed a unique matchup problem: two interior lineman who were both strong and quick. If they play the way they did Sunday, McFarland and Hovan will wreak havoc on plenty of teams this season.
We would be remiss if we didn't mention Tice's extensive background as an offensive line coach. He developed Liwienski and will get him back on track. He will adjust blocking schemes to keep Withrow, all 287 pounds of him, from physical mismatches. Tice also will induce weekly improvement from Johnson, a rookie with undeniably high potential.
It's a crisis because ... Withrow, filling in for the injured Matt Birk, will never be 300 pounds, at least not during his football career. Without significant help, he must employ perfect technique and fundamentals in order to match up with an NFL defender. Unfortunately, Withrow's backup -- currently Melvin Fowler -- is 295 pounds and, like Withrow, is a backup for a reason.
Johnson might well possess limitless ability, but rookie offensive linemen almost always struggle when inserted into the lineup immediately. And there is little help available. The top backup at both guard and tackle positions is the same person, Adam Goldberg, who was demoted from the starting lineup in training camp.
Recent history: After posting MVP-like numbers in 2004 and accepting nearly $8 million in raises this season, Culpepper tied a career-high with five turnovers. He was sacked three times and finished with a career-low 49.2 quarterback rating.
It's an anomaly because ... The turnovers weren't all Culpepper's fault. He was rushed heavily on his first, forcing an early throw to receiver Nate Burleson. On one of Culpepper's fumbles, Burleson failed to notice a hand signal and ran the wrong route as the primary receiver.
Culpepper's physical ability and competitiveness make him one of the few NFL players who can will himself to outmaneuver opponents.
Don't forget, the Buccaneers are a well-coached defense. They were so prepared, in fact, that several times they nullified Culpepper's audibles by checking out of defenses prior to the snap.
It's a crisis because ... Culpepper's performance was not unprecedented. In fact, it was reminiscent of the first half of 2002, when the Randy Ratio got inside his head and eventually led to a brief benching. Culpepper has a history of getting rattled when he makes early mistakes or is forced into poor decisions.
Do you remember what got Culpepper out of that slump? It was Tice's decision to make offensive coordinator Scott Linehan the unofficial quarterbacks coach. An excellent teacher with a great personal touch, Linehan formally carried that title in 2003 and 2004 -- the two best seasons of Culpepper's career.
Do you know where Linehan is now? Miami, of course, where he is the Dolphins offensive coordinator. There are many who believe Linehan's departure ultimately will impact Culpepper more than the Moss trade or the loss of Birk.
Recent history: With Moe Williams starting, Michael Bennett relieving and Mewelde Moore watching, Vikings running backs totaled 14 yards on 12 carries against Tampa Bay. Bennett produced an especially impressive minus-1 yard in six attempts.
It's an anomaly because ... The offensive line provided so little daylight that Jim Brown might have had a hard time. Williams, especially, is a hard runner who gets every yard available to him.
Bennett is healthy and in a contract year, an unstoppable combination for a player of his speed. He can get stopped 10 times a game, but a few 20-plus yard runs and long screen plays would make up for it.
There is help behind Bennett if he falters. Moore is considered by many to be the team's best overall running back, and he will get an opportunity once coaches deem his left ankle is healthy. Another name to remember is rookie Ciatrick Fason, who like Williams excels in getting every inch that a defense gives him. If the offensive line doesn't blow open huge holes, Fason can still find yards.
It's a crisis because ... The inability to establish a clear No. 1 runner this summer is the final indication that the Vikings simply don't have one on their roster. It means another year of patchwork lineups and limited rhythm in the running game. Although Moore might be the best tailback, there is a clear disconnect between his ability and the coaching staff's priorities.
The lack of a premier threat allows defenses to play the run and pass with equal honesty, giving the Vikings few opportunities for exploitation in gameplanning. And frankly, in today's fantasy football-driven world, constant questions about the back of the week will prove a distraction.
Recent history: The Vikings offense was in disarray during the first regular-season game with a revamped coaching staff: two delay-of-game penalties, almost as many turnovers (five) as points (six) and no rhythm all made for a long day.
It's an anomaly because ... Fundamental changes take more than one game to master. If all goes according to plan, the offense will run smoother each week. A playcalling structure that includes input from three coaches will take a more routine form, and Culpepper will grow more comfortable with his relatively new surroundings.
After all, there is too much talent on the roster for this offense to struggle all season. It might take a few games, but coaches and players will begin to realize what they are good at and what they struggle with. Over time, they will emphasize the former and minimize the latter.
It's a crisis because ... The plan for Steve Loney to handle the coordinator job, playcalling and primary responsibility for the line was doomed from the start. No coach can handle that much of an obligation, no matter how many assistants are hired underneath him. Unless a fundamental reorganization occurs, the offense will have limited rhythm.
The only player capable of imposing rhythm is Culpepper, both by personality and by position. Asking Culpepper to overcome a less-than-ideal coaching arrangement, an injury-torn offensive line and no clear hierarchy in the backfield is too much for any one player.

this ref card misses some of the point:
A ref card needs to contain a lot of info in a limited space.
So why waste space on pics of the writers, on adds for other ref cards, on picutures of the writers, a blue left margin ?They could have done a great job on only 4 pages...
no "about",
no pictures and life stories of writers. I don't wanna see them every time i look up a keyboard short cut
forget about how to get netbeans. Using the ref card presupposes having netbeans..
No quick start: you can find it on the net.
forget about the MAC.

Tuesday was a big day for the Georgia Historical Society. They named their 2014 trustees who are appointed by Gov. Nathan Deal.
Billy Pane, who is the chairman of the Augusta National and Arthur Blank, founder of Home Depot and owner of the Georgia Falcons, were appointed as trustees.
Children from the Savannah-Chatham Public School System also attended the event dressed in historical costume because the event names the characters featured in the annual Georgia Historical Festival.
The event aims to teach children about history.
"The essence of what it means to be an American is in the story of our nation and when we want to know what it means to be an American - we have to go and study our history to learn about why our country was founded - the nature of our freedoms - the sacrifices that were made," said Dr. W. Todd Groce, president and CEO of the Georgia Historical Society.
Georgia Power is one of the organizations sponsors and they donated a check for $65,000 to the Georgia Historical Society.

LAS VEGAS: Lenovo released the original ThinkPad X1 Carbon in 2012 and it was one of a select few unashamedly business-focused ultrabooks.
But despite being lightweight and ultra powerful, the first X1 Carbon's enterprise appeal was hampered by a few issues, chief of which were its lack of Ethernet port and slightly poor non-removable battery. Two years on Lenovo has attempted to address these flaws by releasing a brand new, Intel Haswell-powered version of the X1 Carbon.
Design and build
At first glance the 2014 X1 Carbon looks all but identical to its 2013 predecessor, featuring the same sleek black carbon fibre chassis. It's only when you get closer to the device that you realise it's slightly smaller than the 2013 X1 Carbon, measuring in at 331x226x18.5mm. By comparison the 2013 model was 331x226x21mm.
The 2014 X1 Carbon also features a slightly more impressive array of ports, with two USB 3.0 as well as a single full-size HDMI; OneLink Docking; mDP; and Native Ethernet inputs. Opening up the X1 we also noticed the newly added Adaptive Keyboard.
The Adaptive Keyboard is a capacitive strip that lies on the top of the X1 Carbon's keyboard dock. It is designed to provide users with a choice of touch shortcut keys that dynamically update depending on which application is open.
The feature was fairly useful and responsive. While playing a video file on the X1 Carbon the bar offered basic stop, start, fast forward and rewind keys, but switched to offer home, forward back and refresh keys when we opened Internet Explorer.
The 2014 X1 Carbon is available in touch and non-touch screen options. The demo unit we tried boasted a 14in, 10-point multitouch, 2560x1440 in-plane switching (IPS) display.
As well as being nicely responsive to the touch, the X1's screen was also fairly pleasant to look at. Using the X1 Carbon in the brightly lit showroom floor the ultrabook's display proved suitably bright and remained legible even when hit with stray light. We were also impressed with its viewing angles, with text remaining crisp and legible even when viewing the Carbon's screen from the side.
Colours were also suitably vibrant and, while not as crisp as the Retina displays seen on Apple MacBooks, the Carbon's screen was far better than those seen on most competing Windows 8 ultrabooks.
Operating system
The X1 Carbon comes with Windows 8.1 Pro preinstalled, so the Carbon is running the latest version of Windows. While some businesses are choosing to sit on the fence with Windows 8, upgrading their systems to the more familiar desktop-focused Windows 7, we're big fans of the latest version of Microsoft's operating system (OS).
As well as featuring full legacy software support, Microsoft has also fixed a number of minor tweaks in Windows 8.1, reinstating a Start button on the Desktop menu's user interface and improving its search capability to let users search the internet as well local menus using the built-in Search setting.
Our demo unit ran using a fourth-generation Intel Core i7 Haswell processor and boasted 8GB RAM. The combination meant that for pure productivity purposes the X1 Carbon was more than powerful enough, and it opened web pages and applications seamlessly.
Sadly we didn't get a chance to properly benchmark or see how the X1 Carbon dealt with more demanding tasks such as 3D gaming or design during our hands-on. But considering its integrated Intel HD graphics we're guessing it will struggle to play most current PC games – meaning its bring your own device appeal could be limited for some users.
As a final enterprise perk, the X1 Carbon also features Intel vPro technology. VPro is a custom technology from Intel designed to protect devices from cyber attacks at a hardware level. Considering the growing number of criminals looking to target corporations, its inclusion is seriously worthwhile.
Battery and storage
Past its performance-boosting powers, the real benefit of Intel's new Haswell chip architecture is its ability to boost ultrabooks' battery lives. Intel claims that thanks to its more energy-efficient design, Haswell chips are able to offer third-generation Core processor-level performance, coupled with Atom-length battery lives. For this reason it's unsurprising that Lenovo lists the X1 Carbon as being able to last for nine hours of regular use off one charge.
We didn't get a chance to battery burn the X1 Carbon to check this, but considering the fact that the X1 Carbon's battery is non-removable it will be a serious pain for business users on the move if it doesn't live up to Lenovo's claims. Storage-wise Lenovo has stocked the X1 Carbon with a generous 512GB of internal space, which should prove more than enough for most regular users.
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is confirmed to arrive later in January, priced from $1,299. While we're disappointed at the lack of a removable battery, our opening impressions of the 2014 X1 Carbon are positive. Featuring a powerful and efficient Haswell processor, vPro technology and the latest version of Windows, the X1 Carbon could be one of the most enterprise-friendly laptops available in 2014.
Check back with V3 later this month for a full review of the 2014 Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

LAS VEGAS: Small form factor tablets have been increasingly popular in the technology industry. But traditionally these devices have opted to use the mobile-focused Google Android or Apple iOS operating systems, rather than Microsoft's touch-focused Windows 8.
For consumers this isn't too much of an issue as the entertainment offerings on iOS and Android are great. However, for businesses it can be a bit of a pain as neither Android or iOS were ever designed with IT managers' needs in mind.
The Lenovo ThinkPad 8 is a clear move by the Chinese PC maker to amend this problem, offering businesses full Windows 8 Pro and Microsoft Office software in a travel-friendly 8in form factor device.
Design and build
Visually the ThinkPad 8 has the barebones black design synonymous with its namesake, but it is slightly curvier than previous Lenovo tablets, boasting rounded corners and sides. The curves mean that while retaining the unashamedly corporate look of its predecessors, the ThinkPad 8 is very comfortable in hand. This is helped by its small 132x224x8.8mm dimensions.
But we did find the ThinkPad 8 far heavier than other 8in tablets, such as the 331g Apple iPad Mini. We tested the 4G model, which weighed a hefty 439g. The WiFi-only version weighs a slightly lighter 430g.
Ports-wise the ThinkPad 8 is reasonably stocked, with single micro USB 3.0, micro HDMI and micro SD inputs. These mean it should be easy for users to connect the tablet to a monitor and keyboard and turn it into a fully functioning PC.
We were also fairly impressed with the ThinkPad 8's build quality. Despite being built with plastic the ThinkPad 8 felt fairly sturdy in hand. Unlike the larger ThinkPad Tablet 2, the ThinkPad 8's back offered no flex when pressed and in general left us confident it could survive the odd accidental drop or bump.
Lenovo has loaded the ThinkPad 8 with an 8.3in 1920x1200 full HD screen, with 10 finger multitouch, and we were seriously impressed with how well it performed.
On the ultra-bright CES showroom floor, the tablet remained usable, even when hit with direct light. We also found it was wonderfully crisp and featured brilliant brightness and vibrant colour levels. In short, while we wouldn't say the ThinkPad 8's display could match the iPad Mini 2's Retina display, it is still pretty impressive.
Operating system and software
The ThinkPad 8 comes with Windows 8.1 Pro pre-installed. This is a massive plus point for businesses because, unlike Microsoft's Windows RT, Windows 8 Pro is legacy software compatible. This means as well as having the touch-focused tiled Windows 8 interface, businesses can also install and run desktop applications created for older Windows versions; Windows RT tablets by comparison can only run apps from the official Windows Marketplace.
Lenovo's also bundled the ThinkPad 8 with Microsoft Office, meaning users won't have to shell out extra cash to work on spreadsheets or Word documents using the tablet.
The ThinkPad 8 will feature an Intel Z3770 quad-core 2.4GHz Bay Trail processor with Intel HD Graphics and boast 2GB of RAM. The ThinkPad 8 was very nippy and responsive, being able to open applications and webpages in seconds, and we didn't notice any performance issues.
We didn't get a chance to benchmark the ThinkPad 8 or see how it performed with more demanding tasks, such as 3D gaming, but we'll make sure to do this in our full review.
Battery and camera
Lenovo lists the ThinkPad 8's battery as being able to last for eight hours of regular use from one charge. We didn't get a chance to test this during our hands on, but considering our experience with other Intel Bay Trail-powered devices, eight hours is believable.
The ThinkPad 8 features 2MP front and 8MP rear cameras. Testing the rear camera we found that, while better than most tablets, images taken on the ThinkPad 8 still aren't on a par with those taken on most top-end smartphones. In general we found the images we took on the showroom floor came out looking slightly overexposed and weren't quite as crisp as we'd have liked, though we were shooting in less than ideal conditions.
The ThinkPad 8 is confirmed for release in late January with pricing starting at $399. Overall our hands-on time with the tablet was positive. Coming with a powerful Intel chipset, great screen and featuring all the inherent business perks of Windows 8 Pro, the ThinkPad 8 could be the best choice for businesses on the market for a small form tablet come its release.
Make sure to check back with V3 later for a full review of the Lenovo ThinkPad 8.

LAS VEGAS: The Helix is one of many new ThinkPads to be unveiled by Lenovo at the 2013, Consumer Electronics (CES) show. However, being the company's first tablet-come-laptop hybrid it is debatably the most interesting.
Taking on the likes of the Microsoft Surface and Samsung Ativ-series of hybrids, the Helix seeks to offer businesses an all-in-one tablet that also acts as an ultrabook.
Having beaten the rush to get our hands on the tablet, if our opening impressions are anything to go by, Lenovo may have actually managed to achieve its goal.
Design and build
At first glance the Helix has a lot more in common with its ThinkPad predecessors than other convertible laptops.
The Helix design is unashamedly barebones, featuring the same minimalist black, hard edged plastic design synonymous with all ThinkPad devices.
It's only when you open it up and look up close that you realise the Helix is actually a convertible, spotting the rather unsubtle left hand switch that when popped separates the 21mm tablet section from its dock.
Playing with the Helix we were fairly impressed by the hinge mechanism's builds quality. Despite being made of plastic the connecting section felt sturdy.
Popping the tablet in and out of the dock a few times we felt suitably reassured the section wouldn't break after prolonged use. The same was true of the Helix main tablet section, with it feeling fairly robust.
Our only qualm with the device is that it feels slightly heavier than many other convertible devices weighing a hefty 835g.
The Helix comes loaded with an 11.6in Full HD 1920x1080 pixels, 10-point multi-touch screen. During our opening tests we found that looks very nice, boasting great viewing angles, colour and brightness levels.
Testing the screen we found the Helix was pleasantly responsive, with it easily picking up and responding to every swipe and poke we threw at it.
Another added boon for artistic users, is the inclusion of a Wacom stylus, that sits neatly in the Helix's top edge.
While we didn't have time to do anything but use the stylus to make a few quick doodles, we were impressed with how well it worked.
Using Photoshop Elements, we found the Helix was able to pick up on even minor variations in pressure and angle and are fairly certain it could be used for digital painting and design purposes.
Performance and price
The Helix is designed to offer users ultrabook-level performance with the top-end version coming loaded with an Intel Core i7 processor 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. However, for this, users will have to shell out a massive $1,500.
For those shopping on a budget Lenovo's also confirmed the Helix will be available in Intel i3 and i5 versions, though there is still no official word on how much these lower specced versions will cost.
Overall our opening impressions of the Helix are positive. However, costing over $700 more than other cheaper convertible laptop-tablet hybrids, we're unsure whether the Helix will be able to attract anyone but the wealthiest of users.
With Windows 8 now available, PC manufacturers will be hoping to see improved sales in the coming months after disappointing figures over recent quarters, mostly as firms and consumers awaited the launch of Microsoft's new platform.
Another firm that has plenty riding on this is Intel, which has thrown its weight behind the ultrabook category of devices now entering the market as it aims to boost sales of Windows device, and Windows 8 gives it another opportunity to do just that.
So it was no surprise that the firm held an event in central London on Tuesday showing off a raft of products from its partners such as Lenovo, Dell and Acer running the platform.
V3 popped along to have a look to try out some of the devices on show.
Certainly all the devices had something to recommend them, whether the novel combinations of display options such as the Lenovo Yoga (below) with four different viewing stances: laptop, tablet, 'tent' or as a single screen, with the keyboard used as the stand at the back.
The device itself was nice to use, with a good quality keyboard and the system responsive to both touch and mouse-based inputs.
We also had a chance to see the new Windows 8 version of the Acer Aspire S7 ultrabook (below). The device has been on the market for a while running Windows 7 and secured a four-star review when we looked at it last year.
Now it's been updated with a touchscreen system so it can run Windows 8 in full and is certainly one of the nicest looking devices on display, with a compact 13.3in screen and weighing a lightweight 1.35kg.
However, if we're talking lightweight then we should probably mention the NEC Lavie Z Ultrabook (pictured below).
Although this isn't available in the UK at present and doesn't run Windows 8 either, the device is hugely popular in Japan for one key reason; its weight. It's just 875g.
The weight of devices is always something touted by manufacturers and usually it worth nothing more than a "yes it's quite light" comment but the NEC device was probably the lightest laptop device we've ever seen; there are paperback books that are heavier.
While it's not set to come to the UK - a shame - it's a good indication of how light laptops could still become. With the portability of tablets often touted as a selling point over laptops devices like this undermine that argument to some degree.
Lastly, no product showcase would be complete without something from Dell, so Intel had brought along the Dell XPS 12 which has a rather nifty rotating screen that can be swivelled within its casing to work as either a tablet or a laptop.
This mean it can also be propped up in the "tent" style akin to the Lenovo Yoga, as pictured below.
Overall, then, it's clear there's no lack of interesting, novel and quality devices from numerous manufacturers on offer for Windows 8, with Intel's technology an integral part of that.
Whether consumers take to the new system and this helps boost flagging sales, though, is another matter.
12 Jan 2012
Lenovo will be the first manufacturer to ship a smartphone with Intel's Medfield processor, a surprise considering the firm's lack of experience in the handheld market.
The K800 is a large high-end device that sports an angular frame, much like Lenovo's ThinkPad range. One of the best features is the 4.5in display with a resolution of 1280x720. We found the video playback was very vibrant and the screen was a good size.
With a thickness of 10mm, the device appears quite chunky compared to other handsets on the market such as the Samsung Galaxy S II and the forthcoming Huawei Ascend PS 1.
The K800 was running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, with a unique overlay. On first glance it didn't even look like the device was running Android. However, we found this to be quite user friendly. Lenovo expects to upgrade the device to Ice Cream Sandwich.
On the home screen there are shortcuts that allow you to access calls, messages, IMs and mails. In the middle is an icon to view contacts. It's not too fancy, and there are options to customise this so we like it. However, questions will remain over how the overlay will impact battery performance. From experience we have seen overlays such as HTC Sense drain a lot of juice.
Performance of the device was very snappy with the Intel Atom Medfield chip running at 1.6GHz and providing more than enough grunt to power applications.
Lenovo provides 16GB of internal memory, but it looks like there wil not be any micro SD support.
It remains to be seen whether the K800 will make it to western markets. We can't help but feel that Intel's reference smartphone is more likely to make an appearance in the UK than this device.

Many years ago in the late '80s, I was a Temporary Worker @ a HP facility in Santa Clara.
I worked very hard and was on the verge of a permanent full time position, when I suffered a muscle pull in my back.
All bets were off and I was let go and never invited back. I have never forgotten it.
My wish for HP now is nothing short of bankruptcy and financial ruin. Looks like my wish may be coming around.

I bet Paul Allen is looking to buy the company at a graveyard price, then fire all the employees and use the company's patents to troll all the innovative and successful companies in Silicon Valley.

1968 Mustang Parts
After a major redesign for the previous model year, most 1968 Ford Mustang parts were left unchanged. However, a few 68 Mustang parts were updated to meet new federal safety guidelines and make small improvements to the Mustang overall. One of the biggest new 1968 Mustang parts was the 302 V-8 engine that was much more powerful and would replace the 289 V-8.

Ford Mustang 1968Other updates to 1968 Ford Mustang parts included new front and rear side marker lights, shoulder seat belts, a suspended mirror, removal of F-O-R-D from the hood, and new 'Mustang' script style lettering on the car, along with several other emblem and trim changes. Several special models, including the first California Special and numerous Shelby models, were created, with many unique 68 Mustang parts being used. The 1968 model year also marked the famous GT 390's appearance in the movie 'Bullitt.' Nearly 320,000 were sold.
Two new 1968 Mustang engines were introduced partway through the model year: The 302 V8 and the 428 Cobra Jet. While the 302 became a mainstream engine for the Mustang, lasting nearly 40 years, the 428 Cobra Jet V8 was the hot new performance engine. With 335 horsepower and 440 ft./lb. of torque, it was one of the most powerful mass produced motors available. In the 1968 Ford Mustang, most of the Cobra Jet 428s landed in fastback models, though there are a few rare coupes and convertibles with these high powered engines.
For loyal 1968 Mustang parts customers, CJ Pony Parts offers plenty of 1968 Ford Mustang parts available for order-more than 5,700 total!

Community ag groups grow by the bushel
Demand for fresh local produce sparks interest, as the number of community-supported agriculture organizations increases nearly four-fold in a decade.
Frozen black snow covered the streets and the air was frigid, but that didn't stop Queens farm-to-table enthusiasts from flocking to an open house for the Sunnyside CSA in early February. These produce-loving masses braved the elements to secure their summer shares of fresh locally grown organic vegetables and fruits, even though the first pickup won't take place until June.
"We still turn people down for vegetables," said Memo Salazar, a member of the CSA (community-supported agriculture) since its inception in 2007, and currently its in-reach coordinator, a volunteer position. Mr. Salazar was running around the group's space near Queens Boulevard answering members' questions, introducing the CSA's farmer from Long Island's Golden Earthworm Organic Farm to newcomers, and asking another volunteer to make additional copies of the sign-up sheets. The Sunnyside CSA will offer about 180 highly sought-after shares this year, which many members split.
The high demand for community-supported agriculture is a testament to how much the movement has grown since the first CSA launched in New York City nearly 25 years ago.
In 2013, 108 CSAs set up shop across the five boroughs, offering produce from 29 farms, up from 30 CSAs and 18 farms in 2004, according to Just Food, a nonprofit organization that connects New York City communities with local farms. Manhattan alone had 47 CSAs in 2013.
The basis of the CSA model is simple: It provides a market to local farmers, typically based in upstate New York, on Long Island or in New Jersey, while delivering organic food to New Yorkers, who usually pay up-front for the season. Some CSAs also offer winter shares, which include mostly root vegetables, as opposed to greens and tomatoes in the summer shares.
"The idea is that there's no middle person, so the farmer can make a decent living and keep costs down," said Paula Lukats, CSA program manager at Just Food.
Cropping the cost
CSAs have seemed like exclusive clubs to many New Yorkers, with their hefty price tags and demanding schedules—a full share of vegetables costs between $400 and $650 for a season lasting, on average, 24 weeks, and members have to make pickups at specific locations every week. But they are slowly evolving. The latest efforts have focused on making the CSA model more affordable and more accessible. By offering special products like meat and beer through the same CSA model, they also are becoming one-stop shops for all kinds of artisanal and organic goods.
"It's grown so much in the past six or seven years, but it's still a weird way to buy your food," said Ms. Lukats.
It also can be risky. CSA members are taking a chance with the farmers by paying up-front without knowing exactly what types of vegetables and what amount of food they will get. If there's a bad season, members will receive less produce than during a good season. In addition, CSA members have to volunteer some of their time to sign up members or hand out vegetables on pickup days. Such issues haven't slowed progress.
One of the goals for Ms. Lukats and CSAs throughout the city is to make sure that anyone who wants to join has access regardless of income. Farmers typically set wholesale prices for the season, to which the different CSAs add their administrative fees. The wholesale prices usually include subsidized shares offered by the farmers.
CSAs also have created several ways to reduce the prices of shares. At the Prospect Lefferts Gardens CSA in Brooklyn, the goal is to have 20% of the offered shares subsidized, which it does mostly through fundraising. It had 158 shares in 2013, but the number may vary each year.
"It's a struggle for every CSA to keep the cost of shares reasonable," said Karen Oh, a member of the core group of the PLG CSA. "Our mission is about making food accessible. We don't want to give the impression we're a gourmet-food place." A double share of vegetables at the CSA, which is good for four people, was $600 for 22 weeks last year.
Members of the Brooklyn Bridge CSA can sponsor shares. If the CSA has extra funds beyond what is needed for its own members, it can partner with other CSAs. During the 2013 summer season, the CSA was able to offer shares to 42 people—at $15 per full share—in the nearby Crown Heights community, a lower-income neighborhood. Some CSAs, like the one in Sunnyside, also accept food stamps, while others allow members to pay in several installments.
To make pickups easier, the first CSA location at an office building was launched three years ago, and in 2013 there were roughly eight spots at businesses, including J.Crew, Rabobank and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. For those unable to pick up every week, new ventures like Farmigo, which allows customers to order fresh locally grown organic vegetables only when they need them and collect them at a specific location, are partnering with CSAs.
And the growth of urban farms like Brooklyn Grange, which has two locations, one in Long Island City, Queens, and another in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, also means that fresh vegetables are more local than they ever have been. In turn, this is helping spur entrepreneurship in the city.
"Our CSA was so crucial to us as new farmers, when we didn't have a lot of revenue coming in," said Anastasia Cole Plakias, vice president and a founding member of Brooklyn Grange, which was started in 2010. "Having that customer base and income early in the season is really important."
Brooklyn Grange CSA members pick up at the farm's two locations. The farm has about 60 CSA members, up from about 28 in its first year.
Beer, beets and meats
But one of the biggest improvements of the past several years is the possibility to shop for almost all food and beverage items through a CSA, where in addition to vegetables and fruits, members can now buy locally produced flowers, milk, eggs, coffee, wine, beer, fermented goods, pasta, meat and fish, depending on the location. Members are hoping they will be able to forgo a trip to the supermarket altogether.
"The more I got my food from the CSA, the more I was excited about that," said Mr. Salazar of the Sunnyside CSA. In the upcoming 2014 season, the Sunnyside CSA is considering offering dairy products, beer, fish, wine, meat and ferments. "My goal is to feed my whole diet through the CSA," Mr. Salazar said.
A version of this article appears in the March 3, 2014, print issue of Crain's New York Business as "Rooting interest".

Michael Jordan's Highland Park home as been listed at $29 million since it appeared on the market in February.
Typically, keeping the listing price constant is a surefire way to keep a home on the market. But then again, nothing about the 2700 Point Lane is typical.
Get local news in a daily email from Patch. It's like getting a free newspaper. Learn more.
At the time Jordan's 56,000-square-foot-home was listed, the Chicago Tribune pointed out that if the home sold for "anywhere near that asking price, it would be the most expensive, publicly listed home sale in the Chicago area."
But will that sale ever happen? Almost a year later, the original listing price has not been reduced. This could indicate that the owners are not in any rush to get the property off their hands, according to Marco Home Builders & Developers owner Bill Bommarito.
"In this market, any one who refuses to lower the price of the house is basically indicating that they don't have a strong motivation to sell," Bommarito said.
According to the Highland Park resident, if a home doesn't sell after the first 90 days it's listed, that's a sign the asking price should be adjusted.
"Within 90 days if they don't lower the price, it's just going to sit," Bommarito said.
Highland Park resident and Coldwell Banker realtor Eve Tarm points out that the guidelines that apply to most homes may not apply to exceptional ones like those owned by internationally famous basketball giants.
"It is not just about the property, it is about the owner and property combined," Tarm said, explaining that people who visit Highland Park are always intrigued to know Michael Jordan has a home nearby. "We're talking about something extremely special."
Bommarito, who toured the house when it was undergoing construction a few years ago, acknowledges that the house is unique, to say the least.
"I got lost in there," Bommarito said. "It had a beauty salon, it had a basement that looked like it was 15 to 18 feet deep."
The builders of the home planted mature trees they had bought from homeowners in the area instead of planting younger trees available at nurseries.
"They spent monies I've never heard of," Bommarito said. "In terms of being a builder, how do you calculate the value of that type of house?"
Yet, a home with that much money poured into it might make it a harder sell, not an easier one. In the past year, only three single family homes sold for over $5 million dollars in the Chicago metropolitan area, according to Tarm, who got the information from Midwest Real Estate Data. The homes that sold were on the market for an average of 781 days, and their last listing price was 89 percent of the original.
There are currently 57 single family homes on the market in the Chicago metropolitan area priced over $5 million dollars, according to Tarm, who adds that if these homes continue to sell at the same rate they've sold over the past year, it would take 228 months to sell them all.
"In other words, there is 19 years worth of inventory," Tarm said.
In comparison, there are 231 homes on the market in Highland Park of any price. Over the past year, 340 homes sold. At that rate, it would take less than a year for all of these homes to sell.
Though those numbers are compelling, Tarm cautions drawing any conclusions about whether or not Michael Jordan's house will sell, and at what cost.
"Statistics are good for setting expectations, but they don't mean more than that," Tarm said.
She pointed out that the statistics especially don't mean as much for homes like Jordan's that are in a league of their own.
"It can take time, but it can sell tomorrow," Tarm said. "It only takes one person."

With all the toys in Andy's room, you might think that a snake without a speaking part would have little problem slithering under the radar. Not so. Woody is quick to notice the elusive bright green and blue reptile partially hidden under the bed and puts him and Robot to work building a podium out of Legos and Tinker Toys. Likewise, this vibrant striped rattler is easy to spot and fun to play with. Made of felt with a pipe cleaner center, its body can curve and coil just like a real snake.
You'll need:
- 4 pipe cleaners
- Felt (green and blue)
- Scissors
- Tape measure
- Hot glue gun
- Googly eyes
- 3-inch length red yarn or string
|1. Twist the ends of two pipe cleaners together to form one long length. Do the same with the remaining two pipe cleaners. Then place these two long lengths side by side and twist them together to create one thick length.
|2. Cut a 3/4- by 4-inch strip from the green felt and glue one end to the tail end of the pipe cleaner, as shown. Wrap the strip around the pipe cleaner to create a "rattle" and glue the loose end down, as shown.
|3. Create two more rattles out of a 1- by 5 1/2-inch strip and a 1- by 9-inch strip, but this time, rather than wrapping them directly around the pipe cleaner, roll them into coils and glue down the loose edges. Make sure the centers are just loose enough for the pipe cleaner to thread through. Slide the coils onto the body and push them up against the first rattler.
4. Next, use 1- by 11 1/2-inch felt strips to create 6 green coils and 7 blue ones. Slide them onto the pipe cleaner, alternating the colors. Then use a 1 3/4- by12-inch strip to make a slightly larger green coil for the snake's head. Thread it onto the end of the pipe cleaner and apply a dab of glue to the center of the coil to hold it in place.
|5. Glue a circle of felt onto the open end of the head coil, as shown. Then trim the perimeter so it is flush with the coil.
6. For the snake's tongue, knot one end of the red yarn or string and glue the knot to the front of the head. Trim the yarn to length and unravel the strands to fork the tongue.
7. Finally, glue a googly eye to each side of the head.

Richard Nelson's Political Drama Sorry Extends Public Theater Run
By Adam Hetrick
Richard Nelson's Election Day-set drama Sorry, the latest work in the playwright's collection of political plays about an American family, has extended its Off-Broadway run an additional week, now through Nov. 25 at the Public Theater.
Tony Award winner Nelson (James Joyce's The Dead) brings back the Apple family from his plays Sweet and Sad and That Hopey Changey Thing for the world premiere of his play that began previews Nov. 3 and officially opened Nov. 6 as part of the Public Lab. Remaining tickets for the extension are now $30.
The drama takes place the morning of the election as Americans head to the polls to cast their votes. Nelson has been updating the script to reflect recent developments in the country and the campaigns.
Sorry reunites original cast members from the first two plays, including Sanders and Plunkett, as well as Jon DeVries, Laila Robins and J. Smith-Cameron. Nelson directs.
According to the Public, "A year after Sweet and Sad, the Apple family again share a meal in Rhinebeck, as they sort through personal and political feelings of loss and confusion on the morning of the day the country will choose the next president. Like the first two plays, Sweet and Sad and That Hopey Changey Thing, Sorry opened on the day that it is set, November 6, 2012 — Election Day."
The production has scenic and costume design by Susan Hilferty, lighting design by Jennifer Tipton and sound design by Scott Lehrer and Will Pickens.
Nelson is the Tony Award-winning playwright/adaptor of James Joyce's The Dead. His works also include Two Shakespearean Actors, Farewell to the Theatre, Conversations in Tusculum, and Nikolai And The Others, which will debut Off-Broadway at Lincoln Center Theater's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater in spring 2013.
For tickets phone (212) 967-7555 or visit PublicTheater. The Public Theater is located at 425 Lafayette Street in Manhattan.

DALLAS (AP) — Two suspects were dead after an attempted home invasion Wednesday afternoon in north Texas, and police said the pickup truck stolen by a wanted 17-year-old Oklahoma boy was found nearby.
Authorities said that when a woman in the small town of Maypearl noticed someone was trying to open her home's back door Wednesday afternoon, she looked out the window to find a camouflage-clad male armed with a gun.
She phoned her husband, who was nearby and arrived quickly. Minutes later, following an exchange of gunfire with the homeowner, two male suspects were dead, both apparently from self-inflicted gunshots, according to the Ellis County Sheriff's Department.
The bodies were taken to the medical examiner's office in nearby Dallas County for autopsies, and police were withholding the identities pending notification of relatives.
Earlier, authorities in Oklahoma had alerted national law enforcement to be on the lookout for Kenneth Chaffin, 17, saying that on Monday he had stolen 17 guns, thousands of rounds of ammunition, prescription drugs and a red 1991 Ford Ranger pickup truck from his parents' home in Bethel Acres, Okla., about 30 miles southeast of Oklahoma City.
Ellis County sheriff's spokeswoman JoAnn Livingston told The Associated Press that investigators were able to confirm through the license plates on the truck that it was the same vehicle stolen in Oklahoma.
The Ellis County Sheriff's office said that after the Maypearl homeowner called her husband, he arrived home and spotted the suspects. They say the man yelled at the suspect and the retrieved a gun.
The suspects darted from behind the house and ran toward a field, firing at the home as they fled. The man shot back and is believed to have hit one of the suspects, the sheriff's office said. The woman called 911.
After deputies arrived, they found one suspect dead in the nearby field. He had been shot several times, but is believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the sheriff's office said.
The other suspect's body was found inside the stolen pickup truck, also dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the sheriff's office said.
In Oklahoma, Pottawatomie County Undersheriff Travis Palmer said Chaffin was believed to have taken 17 guns, up to 2,000 rounds of ammunition and prescription drugs from the parents' home. Nine handguns were taken along with six rifles and two shotguns, Palmer said.
Oklahoma authorities had alerted national law enforcement to be on the lookout for Chaffin and to approach the teen with caution.
