Windows RT: A Few Conjectures, Based on One Assumption
Windows RT has been in controversy since its launch day. Apart from the debate about whether its existence makes sense, there were two major criticisms. First, since Windows RT was made for ARM tablets, and there for, for touch, why did it include a desktop mode, despite not being able to run legacy desktop software? An obvious explanation is that Windows RT included an Office 2013 suite, which was designed to run in desktop mode. However, this has led to a second criticism: the Office 2013 suite in Windows RT was not touch-friendly. Why didn't Microsoft design a spacial version of Office 2013 optimized for Metro, and therefore, for touch?
After reading a few articles on Intel's next-gen Core processors and its Atom SoC on the market, I've got a new explanation.
The basic story is, in a post-PC era dominated by ARM tablets like the iPad and Android tablets and smartphones based on ARM SoC, the status of Intel is being challenged. Intel's x86 based CPU is far more powerful than the best that ARM can offer, but they are also much more power-hungry. However, Intel has been quite successful binning power on its x86 processors: Intel's Atom based SoC, a 5-year-old architecture, has CPU performance that almost always matches(if not bests) Qualcomm's daul-core Snapdragon S4, while often consuming less power; Intel is also trying to bring its high-end Core architecture to lower power consumption level, with it unveiling a 7W Ivy Bridge processor on this year's CES. The current trend of Intel and ARM in the mobile SoC field is that while ARM tries to make its architectures more powerful, Intel is trying to bring down the power consumption of its already-powerful x86 architecture. From what we are seeing now, it is likely that Intel will win, introducing tablets the size and the weight of the 3rd Gen iPad in as early as 2014 that are as powerful as today's ultrabooks.
And my guess here is: it is because Microsoft has foreseen this future that it decided to give Windows RT an identical interface as Windows 8. Let me explain.
The biggest difference between Intel's x86 CPUs and ARM's ARM-based CPU is that the former makes it possible to run traditional Windows programs designed for computers, while the same is impossible on the latter. Also, the biggest criticism about the desktop mode in Windows RT is that, since it cannot run legacy PC software and Microsoft has banned developers from designing applications for the desktop environment in Windows RT, its existence is meaningless. Not only is it meaningless, is also confuses customers: because when they see the desktop mode, they would expect to run programs like Photoshop on it, only to find that they could not.
If Intel was able to reduce the power and heat envelop of its x86 processors so that they match their ARM counterparts in power consumption, there would likely be an performance advantage for Intel's processors. Combine that with the inert advantage of being able to run legacy software, and you have the recipe for Intel-based Windows tablets to triumph over Windows RT tablets.
Now consider what will happen if Intel-based tablets really dominate the Windows tablets market two years later. Since both Windows 8 and Windows RT include the touch-friendly Metro UI, most Windows tablets will run Windows 8, and most will be able to run legacy software, and they will be as thin and light and longevous as Windows RT tablets. At this time, there will be little value for Windows RT to exist, and Windows 8 and its descendants will take care of the tablet market for Microsoft. The desktop mode will be useful in these tablets, and there will be no more confusion.
However, for Windows tablets to succeed, simply replying on compatibility with legacy software certainly won't work. Microsoft need good touch experience, which means it will need a large library of Metro apps. It is from here that I am going to talk about the point of Windows RT: attract Metro developers.
Early when Microsoft designed the trio of Windows 8, Windows RT and Windows Phone 8, Microsoft has kept the importance of app ecosystem in mind. The three OSes shares the same kernel, and similar runtime environment for Metro apps, which meant developers could easily port their Metro apps between the three platforms with little or no modification to the code. After their announcement, the biggest controversy in Windows 8 was its inclusion of the Metro Start Screen, while the biggest criticism of Windows RT was its desktop mode. Many believed that the Metro experience won't work for mouse and keyboard, and that desktop wouldn't work for fingers. Many believed that Microsoft was using the Start Screen in Windows 8 to lure developers to develop Metro apps, since Windows has such a huge user base, at the risk of alienating all Windows users accustomed to the Start Menu and hated the major change.
That is true. However, if we assume Intel will win in at least the war for Windows tablet SoCs, then the Start Screen touch-friendliness will be put to use. Microsoft is not only doing this for Metro; it is taking the first step towards PC-tablet convergence with the Start Screen in Windows 8.
So where do Windows RT fit into this? As we can see now, Windows 8 based tablets have begun to hit the market, like the Acer W700 or Microsoft's own Surface Pro, but from a tablet perspective they are far from competitive: they require fans, they are bulky, and they suffer from abysmal battery life compared the likes of the iPad. Microsoft may want the convergence and Wintel tablets to happen, but it needs a stop-gap solution, and here comes the Windows RT.
Metro is a great idea. It is a great touch interface, and it offers a fresh experience unmatched by the competition. Windows RT tablets have the potential to gain momentum in the tablet market, which means with Windows RT Microsoft stands chance to get a foothold there. As long as there is a user base, there will be developers making apps, and the system will grow. Waiting for Intel to catch up with ARM may result in a situation where it would be too late for Microsoft to come back, but with Windows RT Microsoft can still manage to stay relevant.
So my guess is, the purpose of Windows RT is to let developers see hope in Metro and Microsoft, and therefore have the incentive to build up the ecosystem together with Microsoft. The Start Screen in Windows 8 isn't going away, the one that will finally go away is Windows RT itself.
This didn't answer why Microsoft included a desktop Office 2013 suite and a desktop mode in Windows RT. Again, allow me explain.
I think there are two reasons for these, the first being the ease of transition, and the second being Microsoft's understanding for what a 'tablet experience' is for.
The first was easier to understand. Everyone who has used Windows 8 knows the shock when they are unexpectedly thrown into Metro from the desktop. If Windows 8 on tablets is the future, this isn't going away. Also, to use Windows 8 on a tablet, you have to realize that a desktop mode exist, and whenever necessary, you can utilize the desktop environment.
If Windows RT is the stop-gap solution, Microsoft must make sure that early adopters of Windows tablets are used to these quirks in future Windows tablets. Hence the desktop environment in Windows RT. In fact, by enforcing the Metro Start Screen on Windows 8 users, Microsoft is also educating traditional form factor users in preparation for the convergence in the future. When switching between Metro and desktop is no longer a pain, well, you are ready to use hybrid devices, like the Surface Pro.
As for the second reason, it has been commonly accepted that tablets are content consumption devices, which means they are used for entertainment and light work, not for serious productivity. If you look at the iOS App Store, you will see that trend. If you want the best example of this philosophy, I'll point you to Amazon's Kindle Fire.
In crafting an Office 2013 suite for Windows RT, Microsoft has two choices: simply leave it as it is and port it to ARM, or design a touch-optimized version from ground up.
If Microsoft chose the latter, the first thing it would need to do is to clear up the interface, so that touch targets would get bigger. This means reducing menu entries, which almost certainly means reducing functions. Otherwise, the depth of each menu would grow, resulting in a interface that's too complexed to be intuitive: consider for example 16 options, now dispersed evenly in 4 menus entries, that means each entry has 4 items; should we reduce the menu entry to 2, then each entry will contain 8 items. Office is far more comprehensive, and therefore, clearing up the interface almost becomes a mission impossible.
So Microsoft would need to strip down Office should it choose the second route. Then, the advantage of the second route suddenly become vague. You want serious work done on your tablet? Surely a stripped down Office won't satisfy you, and who would be typing an essay using on-screen keyboard anyway? You want casual editing? Guess you can manage that with the on-screen keyboard and a desktop-like Office 2013.
Taking into consideration that tablets are traditionally content consumption devices, I see the reason why Microsoft simply ported Office to ARM. Microsoft also offered a solution for customers coming after productivity in its own tablets: the Touch Cover and the Type Cover. With either, you can get serious things done in serious Office.
Despite touting Surface as productivity devices, from this solution I get the feeling that Microsoft sees tablets in this way: it's hard for true productivity to work for touch, so productivity will remain in the desktop; as for content consumption, just go to Metro.
This will be more obvious when x86 based Windows tablets become the mainstream: you can code in desktop, use Photoshop in desktop, use Office in desktop, whatever you want; you can play Angry Birds in Metro, read books in Metro, watch movies in Metro, whatever you like. Tablet's will contain both work and play, and they will be divided in two environments, and in each environment you get the maximum functionality.
So this, I guess, is Microsoft's vision for the post-PC era:
Desktop will not go away. Neither will Metro. The two will co-exist in every device running Windows with screens larger than 7 inches. Tablets running Windows will be as thin and light and longevous as the iPad, but as powerful as ultrabooks we are seeing today. You can use a tablet for everything, or a laptop, or both. If you are a casual user, you go with the tablet. When you go for consumption, you use Metro apps; when you go for productivity, you plug in a keyboard of some form and fire up the traditional productivity software. You can also use touch to navigate the desktop, should you so inclined.
This is a wonderful conjecture, the true post-PC world, where tablets really become competent laptop replacements. Should this come into reality, Microsoft will once again dominate the market: large as the app library of the iPad is, is it entirely based on ARM, and Apple has excluded an easy convergence of iOS and OS X in the beginning; though support for x86 does exist in Android, the Android tablet app ecosystem is still weak at best.
Of course, this world is built upon one assumption: Intel wins the mobile SoC war.
Whether this will truly come to pass, I believe with Windows RT and Windows 8, Microsoft is betting its future on the victory of Intel.

Cheryl Cole continued her tour of radio stations in the UK, dropping by Key 103 Radio in Manchester yesterday to promote her new single 'Call My Name'.
She greeted her fans with a huge smile as she left the studio wearing a taupe cropped leather collarless jacket, which is to-die-for, a grey tank and another pair of Current Elliott 'Stiletto' jeans.
This light pink leopard pair of jeans is much more complementary to her look. I'm still not sure what she was thinking the last time out.
Whilst Cheryl has designed two shoe collections for Stylist Pick, this is the first time we actually get to see her wearing a pair.

The Novare Group and the Batson-Cook Development Company are making progress in soon delivering SkyHouse Midtown after breaking ground on the project in January of this year.
Of course, Mother Nature might have her say in the coming weeks as to when the 23-story 320-unit apartment building at the corner of West Peachtree and 12th streets will officially be ready. But whenever so, it will feature studio, 1 and 2 bedroom apartment homes topped by an amenity deck 230 feet above street level.
The SkyHouse Midtown sales office is officially open with residential space a reported 15 percent pre-leased in anticipation of a mid-January opening. If you're interested in taking a hard hat tour, email email@example.com or call 404-892-0777.
While SkyHouse Midtown will be welcoming tenants early next year, another Midtown apartment project partnership between Novare and Batson-Cook doesn't look as if it will be ready until 2014.
When plans were revealed several months ago to build a 23-story 320-unit luxury apartment tower in Midtown called 100 6th Street, developers mentioned a possible 2013 delivery of the mixed-use that will stand behind the existing 36-story Viewpoint condo tower.
But there are still some "small design tweaks" to finalize as one observer close to the situation told Patch. Expect the project to break ground in early 2013 and if SkyHouse is a good example to go by, expect delivery about 12 months later.
And of course, not far away, Daniel Corporation and Selig Enterprises are in the process of delivering 77 12th, a 22-story, 330-unit apartment tower. It's Phase III of the 12th and Midtown development.
The property is now pre-leasing apartment space with an initial opening of the sixth through ninth floors scheduled for May 2013 and the anticipated completion of remaining floors and clubhouse amenities by October 2013. For more information on apartment leasing, prospective tenants may visit 7712th.com.
Here are some recent Immovable Media produced construction videos of both SkyHouse Midtown and 77 12th, as well as one of the 100 6th Street site.

Proposal: C/C++ with AVR Microcontroller Plugin AVRDUDE
For several years now I've noticed a lack of support in NetBeans IDE for the embedded systems world. I want to address this problem.
In Eclipse and Microsoft Visual Studio, there are plugins/alternative versions to allow developers to program C/C++ code for embedded devices. So far NetBeans IDE only supports the development of microchip microcontrollers (MCU) via the MPLAB X IDE, which is an extended version of NetBeans IDE.
However, most enthusiasts use Atmel MCU's and Arduino platforms (based on Atmel). Although there are workarounds available to use NetBeans IDE as an Atmel MCU IDE, it is still not an optimal solution.
Developing for AVR with NetBeans
AVRFreaks AVR with NetBeans
I propose to create a new plugin for NetBeans IDE that allows an embedded engineer to compile and upload their code to an MCU by utilizing AVRDUDE.
To create this functionality, we have to extend the existing C/C++ plugin with new features. After compiling a hex file, with the avr-gcc toolchain, the program AVRDUDE needs to be executed. The actual uploading of the compiled program is then handled by AVRDUDE, which is open source (see AVRDUDE).
To make the whole picture complete, the plugin also needs an AVR simulator to debug en test the written code. For this we could use http://www.nongnu.org/simulavr/. And, because embedded devices often use UART (RS232) to communicate with a computer, an RS232 implementation is also needed (see RXTX lib).
The proposed features are as follows:
- Uploading compiled program by calling AVRDUDE after compilation
- Configuring AVRDUDE for the selected MCU target (Settings)
- Code completion for Atmel AVR
- Integration of Arduino development plugin (Arduino Development using Netbeans)
- Integration of Arduino libraries / processing
- An AVR simulator to debug en test code
- A RS232 monitoring tool/window
I am committed to make this work! However, before I begin, I would like to hear your thoughts and ideas. Or maybe there are other NetBeans Platform developers willing to contribute to the development of this plugin?
Development of this plugin has started!! See http://java.net/projects/nbplugin-avr

"Microsoft is not, and never will be, a hardware company" Says former WP exec
via www.neowin.net
According to yet another Neowin article citing Geekwire, During his speech, Former WP exec Charlie Kindel shows a slide stating "Microsoft is not, and never will be, a hardware company"
A quote from his speech:
It is a North Star for the rest of the PC industry. That is why Microsoft is building Surface. They are not building Surface to be a business. They are building it for the same reason they built the Microsoft Store. Think of it as a marketing expense. It shows the rest of the industry what is possible and how to do it right.
But what does he exactly mean by "North Star"?
also, I believe that MS made the Surface to show OEMs what a Windows 8 table'top hybrid should look like. They're also using it to heavily market Windows 8. So yeah, Not pretty much of a business.
But even with that, The Surface has a LOT of selling potential.

Darwen teenager found dead in his bed
12:00pm Wednesday 15th February 2012 in Rossendale
A 13-year-old boy has been found dead at his care home.
The body of Mohammed Alam Naseem was discovered in his bed at Woodside House in Tockholes Road, Darwen, a specialist children's home.
Lancashire County Council confirmed the Asian teenager had recently been adopted by a Muslim family, but that placement had broken down and he had returned to the care home.
The year eight pupil at Haslingden High School was in the care of the local authority but placed in a private home run by a preferred agency.
Helen Denton, Lancashire County Council's executive director for children and young people, said: "This is a very sad incident indeed.
"On behalf of the county council I would like to offer my sympathy to Alam's family, and to all those staff, teachers and other young people who lived with him and knew him.
"Whilst we understand that there do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding Alam's tragic death this will of course be the subject of a full investigation, which has already begun."
Police and ambulance crews were called to Woodside House just before 12.30pm on Monday.
Officers say there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death, and that officers are providing support to friends and family.
Det Insp Neil Ashton said: "The cause of this sudden death has not yet been confirmed but it is not being treated as suspicious and police are at this stage exploring the possibility that he suffocated.
"The coroner has been informed and a post mortem examination will take place later this week. " Sunnyhurst Town Councillor Brenda Cronshaw said: "I am very deeply saddened to hear that this has happened.
"It's so sad that it's happened to someone so young, and that nobody could talk to him or help him."
"My heartfelt thoughts are with his family, his carers and the people who were close to him."
Sunnyhurst borough Councillor Brian Taylor said: "My deepest condolences are with everyone who is left behind, as the effect it has on people is terrible."
Yesterday, staff at Woodside House were visibly upset by the news, but declined to comment saying it was "too soon".

I am not a Giants fan. Far from it. But any dislike I have for the Giants, I have for the Patriots x5. I enjoy watching the Patriots lose nearly as much as watching the Raiders lose.I was talking to a friend of mine after the Spygate scandal broke and I said to him "I hope Bellicheat and Brady never win another SB after this." Well, it remains to be seen if they will win any more in the years to come, but another year has passed and they still have not won.
I have a number of reasons to dislike New England, not the least of which is what they did to us this season. But also among the reasons are the arrogance from Bellicheat and Brady, the aforementioned Spygate scandal and the fact that nearly every Pats fan I know is also a Red Sox fan, and I have not gotten over the unceremonious drubbing they laid on the Rockies in the World Series.To all the Patriots fans out there who would no doubt respond to my enjoyment of their downfall by saying "well, at least we made it to the Super Bowl" I will say this. You are right. Your team made it all the way to the big game. But you know what, the Denver Broncos won as many Super Bowls as the Patriots did this year. And even though my beloved Broncos fell short, I am still very happy with the way the season turned out for us. My team far exceeded my preseason expectations and I am left with contentment for this year and anticipation for next year. To me, this was a very successful season for the Denver Broncos. How many Pats fans can say the same? If you read the threads over at Pats Pulpit, it is all doom and gloom. Nothing less than Super Bowl victory is acceptable.
Well, my response to that is, yes, it sucks to lose. We know, having been the recipients of a truly spectacular ass kicking courtesy of these self-same Patriots. But even at the in the final minutes of that game, as painful as it was, I still was able to look past that game and be optimistic for the future. Only one team wins it all at the end of the season. That does not mean that every other team was a failure. I have experienced both the ultimate highs and ultimate lows as a football fan, and I can still say that a season does not necessarily have to end in a Super Bowl victory to be a success. Here is a little hint for those Pats fans who have not yet figured that out: The sooner you do figure it out, the more you will enjoy being a football fan. Because right now, I gotta say, reading the threads at Pats Pulpit it sure looks like it sucks being a Patriots fan for most of them right now. And I know that some of that is due to how fresh the loss is and how much it stings at the moment, but still, get a grip people. You still have probably the best run franchise in the game and you compete for a title damn near every season. So you didn't win this one. Build a bridge and get over it.
Because I despise the Pats as much as I do, this game was very sweet for me. Knowing that the sports fans in New England hate all things New York more than anything else, losing the big game to a team from New York, and for the second time in as many meetings, has to sting more than anything. And I am just petty enough to get alot of enjoyment out of that. Karma is a bitch folks. After all the crowing Pats fans did after the Divisional round (with some exceptions, and you know who you are), I do not feel bad at all in reveling in watching them taken down a notch.
Now that the NFL offseason has begun for everyone, there will be mock drafts to be seen around every corner. I am not one to do mock drafts myself, but I look forward to reading them and seeing what my fellow fans see the team potentially doing come April. I am excited for the team moving forward and I think we are only going to get better. I am hoping that the championship window will be closing in the next couple years in New England. It looks to have already closed in Indy. With another good draft or two, I can see a window opening for Denver. I say it is time for a changing of the guard in the AFC. Let the Patriots, the Colts and the Steelers become a part of the past. And with any luck, lets see the Broncos return to the top of the AFC.
Let the mock drafts begin in earnest. GO BRONCOS!!!!!!

Adele Says She's Ready for Love Again
Adele Talks About Love, Third Album
Adele's songs of heartbreak put her on the map as a best-selling artist, but despite all of that excellent break-up emotion to draw from, Adele says she's "ready to be in love again."
Maybe her next album will be songs about love then?
Adele graces the cover of Billboard, and tells the magazine that her throat surgery to remove a benign polyp "couldn't have gone better."
She added, "But because I was singing with damaged vocal chords for three or four months and because of the surgery and because of the silence after the surgery I now have to build myself back up vocally."
When can you expect to hear Adele's gorgeous voice again? She shares, "February I'll be singing properly!"
Read: Adele Throat Surgery Successful
The relationship at the core of her album 21's amazing songs came from a place of being "bitter" and "sad" she says, adding, "Obviously it was intensified because the record exploded, and it was a constant reminder of him that I couldn't avoid. But I hadn't met anyone else. I missed him because I didn't like feeling lonely and so I just kept going over and over the (mistakes) and resenting him and regretting our time together."
As for falling in love again, she notes that "Not having someone to share all this with made me miserable at times, to be honest. I wanted nothing more than to be in love and be loved back. That was until I remembered I was sharing it with millions and millions and millions of people!! I haven't been ready to be in love again since summer 2009 ... until now. And I hadn't met anyone along the way who's changed that."
Read: Adele Doesn't Have Throat Surgery
Adele expects that she'll be 25 or 26 before her next record comes out, though she hasn't thought about her third album, noting she wants to "just 'be' for a bit. I'll disappear and come back with a record when it's good enough. There will be no new music until it's good enough and until I'm ready."

Wow! This is my 500th post which means I've had this blog for 500 days... Okay, I'm not that consistent, but still, it's been
a few five years of relatively regular posting. Not too shabby.
To celebrate, here's a sketch of a sort of porcupine/hamster critter. Step 1: slosh some watercolor on your paper in a random manner. Step 2: forget about it for a few days. Step 3: take a brush and ink and draw whatever comes to mind.
Woohoo! Congrats on your 500th post. Love him :o)
Not too shabby at all--lucky for us!
Keep 'em coming!
I love this little sloshed porcupine/hamster critter. :)
Impressive!! Congrats!
It's soooooo cute!!! You gave him spines so I couldn't squeeze it with a hug :P
Congratulations on your 500th post!
Congratulations on your milestone (and belated congrats on your baby!)
It's more about the quality than the quantity: I don't mind waiting more than one day for your inspiring posts :D

The Teaching Partner program has two goals: to support teacher who are implementing MainePSP programs for the first time and to provide undergraduate and graduate students with opportunities to learn about science education. Teaching Partners serve as (1) a resource assistant who is knowledgeable about the philosophy and materials associated with MainePSP programs and (2) an inquiry assistant who can help guide the inquiry process during small group work and other classroom activities. In this role, Teaching Partners:
Teaching Partners must be working towards a degree in science or secondary science education and have academic experience in the fields of earth science, chemistry and physics. During their first semester as a teaching partner, graduate and undergraduate students are prepared for these roles via a STEM Education seminar conducted by the MainePSP. Regular, collegial conversation between Teaching Partners and their host teachers support effective partnerships that benefit the Teaching Partner and host teacher, as well as the students.
Here are some comments from teachers who have hosted Teaching Partners:
"It's ALWAYS helpful to have an extra pair of hands and eyes in the room, especially with activity-oriented science lessons. We had some beneficial chats about everything from the future of education in general to the details of prep-work for lessons or data-gathering for the research part of PSP."
"[My teaching partner] skillfully worked with individuals and small groups to help students understand their observations and make connections between their evidence and scientific knowledge."
"What helped me and my students the most was the teaching partner's expertise on the content and knowing how to find the answers if we did not know them."

Love and family led Glenn Collins to leave Limestone College in 1964 with one year left in his academic studies for a college degree.
Nearly a half century later, Collins kept a longtime promise to his wife this fall when he finished his degree in Liberal Studies. The 72-year-old walked across the stage in his graduation gown Saturday where he joined 400 students in receiving degrees from Limestone College in commencement ceremonies.
The part-time county maintenance worker left his college studies behind shortly before he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1964. The United States had escalated its involvement in the Vietnam War and was in the process of building its military force.
Collins never served in the Vietnam War. He was transferred from the Army shortly after the draft to the U.S. Marines where a problem with stomach ulcers resulted in leaving the military.
It was love, not war that led Collins to leave college.
"I didn't go back for my senior year at Limestone. I met my wife and got married," Collins said. "These were tough times financially when I went to Limestone in the 1960s. I worked a full-time job and became a student at night. By the time I got exempted from the draft, my wife and I had a child on the way. I knew I needed to go to work to raise my family."
Collins operated a gas station for 13 years before he opened his own business, Collins Automotive. After 21 years, Collins developed heart problems and was forced to step away from his automotive business following heart surgery.
He leased the property and went to work as a warehouse manager for Cherokee County in 1999.
Although busy with his job and family. Collins never forgot about his college education.
"I made a promise to my wife when we got married that I would go back and finish my degree at Limestone College," Collins said. "I started thinking about going back to school three to four years ago. I just wasn't sure whether any of my course credits from my time at Limestone in the 1960s were still good."
After meeting with admissions counselors, Collins ultimately took 24 credit hours over the past year to complete his associate of arts degree in Liberal Studies. There were only a few courses the longtime Gaffney resident needed to retake because of changes in college degree requirements over the past four decades.
Collins enrolled in the Limestone College Extended Campus where he took Internet classes to complete his degree.
"I am deeply grateful to Limestone College that I was able to do this. Technology has made a world of difference in being able to finish my education," Collins said. "It feels really good to finally have my college degree. It just shows you are never to old to learn."

Welcome to our twelfth installment of the Ninersnation Community Thread. Here we can go into off-topics such as why are spiders scary? Who drinks tea? What dance is hot? So now our front page football topics will be about football (strange concept, I know). First rule is, do not feed the dingos! Second rule is that site decorum is still on. No talk into religion, politics, or dirty dirty. No personal attacks, racism, or sexist remarks. Images are allowed, just be tasteful and pretend Fooch is sitting next to you. This is going to be like the draft threads so we can come back to a discussion so that means REC THIS! That is a good rule of thumb in any situation. So lets have some fun here. The new topic of conversation is in celebration of the NN iPhone app and me getting a new phone, what are the best apps? Free or pay and why we love them so much.
This site is an escape from reality so it is not a topic for here, but I would like to give my respects. 9/11 will be ten years ago Sunday. I would like to give my deepest condolences to those that lost their lives and all that were harmed by the attacks.

In most instances the answer to the question of whether or not to attend someone's funeral is pretty clear in one's heart. If you have to ask, and are feeling the nudge to go you probably ought to attend. We normally attend a funeral out of respect and honor for the deceased. Consider the message you might be sending to your former family members, children and perhaps grandchildren if they perceive you have snubbed their beloved 'Nanna.'
In some cases, where there has been a bitter and nasty divorce you may want to reconsider attending an in-law's funeral service. Despite your feelings about your former spouse, if your mother or father–in-law was always kind and inclusive toward you, it would be rude not to attend the service. Still, you should consider whether your presence will cause discomfort or confusion during an already very emotional time. If you believe your being there will cause extra anxiety or frustration to the situation choose instead to send a heartfelt card along with an appropriate floral arrangement to the family .
Consider your children. If you have children together with your ex and they are going to attend inquire as to whether they would like for you to accompany them. Their needs should outweigh any personal vendettas or agendas for both sides.
Remember if you do decide to attend that you may have a different role than you would, had you still been the daughter or son-in-law. If your former spouse is still unmarried this may not cause much disturbance at all. However, take your cues from the grieving family. Although you may feel that you are still one of them, they may not have the same opinion. Offer your help and be gracious during the service and if there are hard feelings you may want to bow out gracefully immediately after. You should probably not expect to ride in the limousine during the procession. However, if your children need your support and comfort during the ride, show the courage and fortitude necessary to accompany them without apology. In your children the two families became one; their emotional needs trump attitudes and even preferences during this stressful time.

I have been blogging for a very long time – since November 2006. During that time I have spent numerous hours in classes (free and paid), reading all books and posts that I could get my hands on, and doing trial and error things.
Now, I am taking my experience and turning it into a money making opportunity for me and cheap information for you!
Twitter Building -
The way it works is that I would need your twitter login info. From there I would spend time every day researching hashtags, other users similar to you, etc and begin following – I will continue this process until I have gained you 1,000 new, niche-specific, organic twitter followers. Twitter doesn't like for you to have less followers than you follow so I would keep my eye on that and unfollow inactive users, people that don't follow you, etc. To keep from Twitter looking at you as spam, I have algorithms that I have developed over the years to get you the best bang for your buck without getting you in trouble by the twitter police. :-) Cost = $100 for 1000 new followers
Printables -
With the influx of pinterest and other photo-rich social media sites, free printables are bringing more traffic to blogs than ever before. I make printables to your specifications. Cost = $5.00 per page
Digital Graphics -
I like to make pinnable graphics, buttons, banners, etc for my blog and others. They are a great way to get people to pin your stuff and then come back over. Cost = $5.00 per graphic.
One on One Blog Consultation -
Crystal (of Crystal and Company ) and I have been doing weekly #learntoblog live hangouts on G+ for many weeks. They have been a HUGE success and now you guys are asking us to help you out on a more private basis. So, we have decided to do 30 minute consultations via video where we will go through your site (and/or social media accounts) and give you several tips and ideas to put into play to increase your web presence! Cost = $50.00 for a 30 minute consultation
Please send an email to Kelli (at) Blogprintmedia (dot) com if you are interested in any of the above!

Editorial: No license to chill foreign relations
Good for the Florida Legislature.
It is taking quick and decisive action to repeal a rule that should not have been on the books to begin with.
Last year lawmakers, with little fanfare, passed a requirement for foreign visitors to Florida to get a special driving permit.
Once our international guests caught on, they let us know loud and clear that they resented being held to a standard that their own countries do not expect for Americans.
Still, of course, motorists in and from all countries are expected to know and follow local rules of the roads. There are no free passes. But in Florida, at least from now on, there are to be no special gotchas.
The repeal passed the Florida House the other day unanimously, 116-0.
Let's see the repeal keep moving through the system in that fashion.

By Nick Eastwood
I have had a number of key priorities over the first three months in this role and one of these has been overseeing the process of rebuilding and increasing our fan base.
This is something I wanted to share with you ahead of time because we are well down the road in preparing for what I hope will be the most thorough, detailed and professional Season Ticket offer ever produced by the Club. As part of this, we are committed to re-engaging with our supporters and asking them for their views on key issues. We have therefore just completed three comprehensive supporter surveys to supplement the detailed data analysis work we are doing.
We've had a fantastic response to these surveys, which were recently sent to Platinum Members past and present, as well as a large number of match-ticket purchasers.
The results of the survey will help shape our thoughts around a variety of areas such as our offering on match-days, our pricing and our communication with supporters, and the results have already given us real insight into what your views are across vital areas like this.
These results have also helped shape our Season Ticket holder offering for next season, which will be communicated in the coming weeks. I think you will be pleased with the changes we have made.
We have also been working very closely recently with Two Circles, an agency we have appointed to help us to significantly improve the understanding of our data and how we use it to communicate effectively with current and future supporters. We know that having a much stronger understanding of our supporters' needs and wishes and investing in database marketing is something that will help us to underpin our commercial strategies over the coming years. We have already been able to derive some very valuable insights from this work and we have sensed a keen optimism about the future of the Club on and off the field, which is something we share.
We believe that this year more than ever, we are witnessing a re-birth of the Club, one that is being built on strong talent on the playing side and supported by increasing resources on the management and administrative side.
The Club is changing and needs to continue to do so to keep pace with the progress being made by all of the clubs around us in both the English and European game.
To that end we are currently making some investment into exploring what the London Wasps brand means and stands for, and what changes we need to make to help us take the brand onto the next level.
We are currently working with globally renowned agency The Brand Union to examine the London Wasps brand both in terms of strategic development and visual identity, to help take us forward at the same pace as the strides being made by the team itself.
We have a clear ambition for the London Wasps brand and we have recently held a variety of workshops with those currently involved with the Club and those who have had strong involvement in the past, to help us develop a strategy that will position our brand as a leading force in the game, both at home and abroad. The results of that work will certainly be worth keeping an eye on.
Of course there have been other major priorities too over the past few months – and one of these have been solidifying our financial position which was absolutely vital.
I am pleased to say we are in a much more positive place financially and though there is a lot of hard work ahead, we are moving forward very well and are have satisfyingly begun to make real headway in clearing a lot of outstanding debt.
We will also soon be in a position to talk to you about new investment in the Club, something that I know you have been waiting patiently for. Our progress on this front has also been very positive and we are working towards finalising and announcing this as soon as we can.
Finally, I would like to thank all of you who completed the surveys – your feedback is vital and will make a difference.

Ryan Callahan and Michael Del Zotto each scored a goal and added an assist during special teams situations to help bring the New York Rangers back from a two-goal deficit in an eventual 4-2 victory over the fading Winnipeg Jets Wednesday night at MTS Centre. The triumph secured a season sweep for New York with four wins against the Jets.
By virtue of the win, the Rangers took over the top spot in the NHL standings in the race for the Presidents' Trophy. New York is tied in points (105) with the St. Louis Blues, but the Broadway Blue Shirts get the nod via the tiebreaker, which is wins. N.Y. has 49, St. Louis 48. The Rangers have won five of their last six, including the last three, which were all on the road.
The loss drove another nail in the coffin of Winnipeg's postseason hopes, as the Jets have lost five of their last six games and trail the eighth-place Buffalo Sabres by eight points with just five contests remaining in their regular-season schedule.
One of the biggest factors in the triumph was New York's special teams play, during which the team picked up two power-play goals and killed off all five Winnipeg chances -- including three in the first period alone, one of which was a two-man Jets' advantage for 1:43 -- while scoring a shorthanded marker.
Winnipeg had taken a 2-0 lead early in the second period on goals by Spencer Machacek and Bryan Little separated by just 56 seconds, and the Rangers had little jump. As has often been the case over this season when the club needed a big play to swing the momentum, Callahan was the one to make the difference.
With Brandon Dubinsky in the penalty box and New York in the midst of a crucial penalty kill, Callahan carried the puck behind the Jets' cage and sent a pass to Del Zotto in front. The defenseman was able to sneak the puck past Ondrej Pavelec for the shorthanded goal and draw the Rangers to within 2-1 at 7:44 of the middle stanza.
Callahan added one of his own late in the second period while on a New York power play, and Del Zotto returned the favor by lending a helper on Callahan's tally. He sent a pass from the right point to Marian Gaborik at the left, and the Rangers winger flipped the puck toward the net with Callahan screening Pavelec. The captain redirected the feed on net, then rammed home the rebound for his 28th goal of the season with just 1:37 remaining in the session to make it a 2-2 game heading into the third period.
Gaborik finished the game with a pair of assists.
Brian Boyle netted an even-strength goal early in the third, and Derek Stepan added an insurance marker with the man advantage midway through the frame to ice the game.
Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist made 22 saves in improving his record to 37-16-5, while Pavelec dropped his third in a row and fifth in the last six to even his mark at 28-28-7.

Oh yes, it has happened. It is true. My beloved Tigers are going to the World Series of Baseball... the World Series, my friend. How did they get there?
I declared in February that they would go all the way. I went out and purchased a Tigers hat. Oh, yes. I willed this to happen. Everyone mocked me, but I stood fast.
We lost Gramps last July and I took up the cause of the Tigers. With his help, of course. We are sure he's doing his bit from above.
Now, if he doesn't get sidetracked and start visiting, we'll go all the way. Stay focused, Gramps... as far as that goes.

Well our Tigers didn't make it all the way, but we are thrilled they made it all the way to the Fall Classic. I think they cracked under the pressure of it all. Only 96 days until spring training, anyway.

HOW TO BREED: When you feed dragons, they level up.When they reach level four, the dragon grows and is capable of breeding.Breeding is a stage when 2 dragons breed and go to breeding mountain or ultra breeding tree(There is no difference in the 2 but their design).
BREEDING A DRAGON:When you breed 2 dragons you need to wait to finish.The time depends on the rarity of the outcome. EX.Lantern+firebird=8 hours.The rarer the dragon, the more time it takes and sometimes there is two outcomes.If you want the rarer outcome you need to try the simpler solution there are lesser chances but you can also use alternative ways and may give your rare dragon you want.
Eggs: When the breeding is complete the egg goes to the hatchery.The time in the hatchery is longer than in the breeding time.There are different designs of eggs that represent the dragon in the egg.And they get longer time when they are rare.The hatchery can have many eegs at one go by upgrading the hatchery.The dragon that is gonna always a hybrid(mix elemented)dragon.The pure elements can be earned by gifts or store.

Just filed to ESPN: Mavs free agent Tyson Chandler will meet face-to-face this week w/officials from Warriors, Rockets and Nets. Link on way He has 3 other tweets right after
The 1-2-1 Zone: Fun With the BS Report
According to Stein: "Maybe we expect too much to peg Deng for a seamless return from injury to replace Ben Gordon, but there's enough here regardless for modest improvement leading into the pivotal summer of 2010. More than enough."
Three rounds later, I have to make it clear I remain firmly in the camp which maintains that the Boston-Chicago series in Round 1 -- dramatic, historic and irresistibly terrific as it was -- needed to have a bigger impact on the championship itself to merit any Greatest Series Ever consideration. You are entitled to disagree, as always, but you are likewise invited to consider how quickly those teams faded from our consciousness as the playoffs progressed. The view here is that if the outcome had no real impact on the Eastern Conference bracket -- an indisputable reality given Garnett's absence -- it doesn't matter how many games went to overtime. The stakes simply weren't high enough to get Celtics-Bulls into the greatest-ever debate. None of that, though, would dare stop us from putting the Bulls -- pretty much all of them -- high on this list. Derrick Rose playing better in Games 1, 4 and 6 than he ever did during a regular season in which he was the rookie of the year, Joakim Noah suddenly looking like an NBA difference-maker, Ben Gordon performing under pressure -- these guys were catalysts for a postseason that was far more unpredictable than we were all expecting.Where's my trophy?

The Cavaliers have traded Ilgauskas' expiring contract for Antawn Jamison. On paper, this move has to make them more dangerous -- they get a legitimate no. 2 scorer to pair with LeBron James, and they've given up almost nothing to acquire him. But how does the deal work in detail? And how does it affect the way they stack up against Orlando?
First of all, this is great news for Cleveland's offense. Jamison is one of the top post scorers in the league -- a guy who can usually maneuver his way into a good shot with or without the ball. Unfortunately, none of our defensive PFs really have the ability to contain a player like Jamison all that well... Rashard is a decent defender, but not a dominant one, and the post is not his best area. So Howard may need to keep one eye on Jamison and another on his man. (And a third on LeBron.)
On the bright side, Jamison also spends a lot of time on the perimeter... he's a good perimeter scorer, but this fact may allow the Magic to reduce the amount of post pounding our PFs take, and give them the chance to run out and use their speed. With their slow-paced game and lack of frontcourt speed, the Cavs are potentially vulnerable in transition.
It's also not entirely clear how Jamison's post offense works in the context of Shaq. The more the big man clogs the lane, the less room Jamison has to maneuver. (Alternately: the threat of Shaq down low gives Jamison one more option -- passing in the post -- and ensures that the Magic can't double-team either. This could go either way, and will most likely go a little of both.)
Defense, though, may be a problem for the Cavs. They may get Ilgauskas back if Washington waives him, but right now, their big man rotation consists of Shaq, Jamison, Varejao and Hickson. Of the four, only Shaq is a natural center, and he can only play 25 minutes or so. (He may be able to increase that number in the finals, but still, I can't see Shaq managing more than 28-30 MPG.)
Where does that leave the Cavs during the rest of the time? Well, neither Hickson nor Jamison is a viable center. So we'll probably see Varejao guarding the center position a lot. This is a potentially exploitable matchup -- Varejao is of course the focal point of their interior defense, but he's too small to match up with Dwight, and will have to rely on flopping to draw offensive fouls. If that doesn't work, he may pick up fouls himself, which compounds the Magic's problems. Meanwhile, shifting Varejao to the 5 leaves Jamison (or Hickson) at the 4, which is a downgrade. So Rashard and Ryan may be able to step up on offense. (Though of course LeBron is a threat to them as well.)
The only other lineup possibility to discuss is that the Cavs might try playing Jamison at the 3. He's too slow to defend that position at this point, but SF is not a major offensive position for the Magic. If they do attempt this, it's up to Pietrus and Barnes to use their athletic gifts against him.
Ultimately, this trade undoubtedly makes the Cavs the front-runners for the title, at least for now. Jamison isn't a perfect player, but he's definitely the best teammate LeBron has ever had. But that doesn't mean they're a lock for the title. It seems unlikely that a veteran like Jamison would create any chemistry problems in the locker room, but a trade like this always raises the risk of on-court miscommunication, as they're now working with a player who has not played in their system before. The Magic need to keep an eye on the Cavs, and if Jamison isn't rotating properly within the team's schemes, they need to exploit that.

Professor Trumpy is the best professor I've had at Central. He doesn't teach ADMG385 anymore (which is unfortunate for business majors), but if he's an option in any of your courses - TAKE HIM! He's simply awesome. Lectures aren't boring, he's a funny guy, and will help you outside of the classroom.
Robert Trumpy is the best professor I have ever have. He is so considerate of his student's needs and wants them to understand the material and succeed. I can't say enough good things about him - I wish all professors were like him.
Really Good professor! Always willing to work with students based on their needs! VERY approachable. I got a B- in the class but that was my own fault. If he makes a mistake he will let everyone know!
admg 372
is in the wrong profession.
Great Professor! His classes are mandatory but the topics are very interesting. There are 2 quizzes, 2 papers, and a final. For the papers make sure to use,the correct APA formatting!!!!! That is where you will lose all your points.For the first paper you have to read the entire book but it is very short.
You are missing out on an excellent class if you do not take a class with Prof. Trumpy. He is incredible. He is energetic, cares about his students, is fun and super knoweledgable. I have recommended him to many students and all have enjoyed his classes. Absolutely INCREDIBLE PROFESSOR. enough said.
Teach is energetic, keeps students interested and envolved. Accessible and easy to talk to and always willing to assist in more explainations.
Dr. T is a GREAT prof one of the best. As long as you do the work and try in his class you will get a great grade. I wish all my profs were like Dr. T. He is always there to talk as well.
Trumpy is a great Prof. Always helpful and has always been on track with his class outline/syllabus he hands out at the beginning of the quarter. Put in effort - & he will reward you.
Trumpy is the best prof ive ever had. He was exactly what a professor. Clear, precise and attention grabbing. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from him.
Trumpy rocks! Nice guy, will go out of his way to help you. The class was easy as long as you go to class and do not procrastinate on the only and only paper there is in the quarter. Grade based off of 2 quizes, the paper, and a cumulative final.
Good class, learned a lot. Helpful prof. Grade was based off of one paper, two quizes, attendance, and the final.
Bob is a good guy. He teaches ADMG 201, 310, and 372. Not a lot of chances for extra points. Things are weighted oddly. He is fairly flexible in grading. Has many life stories that he WILL share with class.
Nice guy and very helpful. Quizzes were very fair and he had the students tell him what should be covered on the quiz the week before. Not a lot of opportunities to get points, so stay on track from the beginning to get a good grade.

Man charged following robbery in Rochester
Officers responded at 5:47 p.m. after Jerrell Luther, 34, of 17 Winter St., allegedly used physical force to take an undisclosed amount of cash from an unnamed man near School Street.
No weapons were used and the victim suffered only minor abrasions, according to police.
Police issued an alert for the man and a green Chevy Blazer used to flee the scene. The vehicle was later spotted along South Main Street by a N.H. State Trooper, who contacted police. As a result, Luther was charged with robbery. He is being held at Strafford County jail in Dover on a probation violation.
Robbery is a Class B felony, which could result in up to 3½ to 7 years in prison, if convicted.
Luther is scheduled to be arraigned in 7th Circuit Court in Rochester Friday at 11 a.m.

A lot has been said about the Hurricanes Offseason so far. I went in hoping to resign LaRose and Ruutu, adding a second scoring option or playmaker, and finding a solid, young defenseman to hopefully build around. Many things have been done; some I like, some I don't, and some I will settle for. There is a reason JR is one of the best GM's in the game, so while I don't agree with all of his moves, this is my team and I will be supporting them wholeheartedly.
Jussi Jokinen - This was a great way to start off. He signed for less money and gives us a possible 3rd line center that can move around and contribute on special teams.
Erik Cole - I think we overpaid for Cole. I think he is more deserving of $2.5 mil or lower. I really think he is more of a 3rd line banger than what we use him for, but he did spark this team at the trade deadline. I wanted to keep him, but at a lower cost.
Chad LaRose - I think Chad's deal is pretty fair. I would have like to see 3 years at a little less, but I think it is market value. I see Chad as a real leader of this team, a David vs Goliath guy. I wouldn't be suprised if he one day wears an 'A.'
Tom Kostopoulos - I wasn't too excited about this deal, but after looking at it, it seems to be a pretty good move. He's a 4th liner (that makes 4th line money) and could possibly contribute on the 3rd line or PK situations.
Andrew Alberts - This move seems to me more for the following year than this upcoming season. He's a 3rd pairing guy (at a decent price), to replace Wallin after the season is over. I was hoping to see one of the kids playing on the 3rd pairing this year.
Tuomo Ruutu - I really like Ruutu and I'm glad to see him here for the next 3 years. I do think we overpaid a little bit. It's probably fair market value, but I would have liked to see his cap number around $3.25 mil. I really hope he improves on his numbers from last year (he was solid, but I would like to see more) and doesn't suffer any major injuries.
Aaron Ward - He is an solid defenseman, but I was looking for someone younger that we could build around. I like that we got rid of Eaves salary (we basically picked up Ward for a 4th rounder). It's a nice move, but again sort of limits us on gettings the Rats some experience for the following year. I really would have liked to see either Alberts signed or Ward or a young up and comer (my dream would be Coburn), but not both Alberts and Ward.
Babchuk & Kaberle - I'm not of big fan of either. I think the Babchuk thing hasn't been handled very good, but you reap what you sew. I hope we can get something for him. Because of our cap number this year, I think we have to buy out Kaberle to give ourselves a little room.
While this didn't happen this offseason, it did go into effect; Eric Staal's monster deal. I am a huge Staal fan and think he is one of the top players in the game. With that being said, I think he is worth around $7 to $7.5 mil (cap hit number). I am hoping that his big salary doesn't hurt this team, especially with the salary cap probably going down.
In all, it has been an interesting offseason. I expect the Canes to be competitive this season and really think we have a chance to win the Southeast.

Shakespearean adaptations are like candy to Hollywood. Some are deliciously well done, while others make you spit them out in anger and demand a refund. If Michael Fassbender and Justin Kurzel have anything to say about it, their version of Macbeth will be one of those sweet successes we all look forward to.
Do you want to be married to Michael Fassbender? Wait, before you jump at the opportunity, you probably need the details. First of all, it's only on screen. Second of all, it's a marriage that, by the time the story starts, has already gotten a little strange. Third, it's a marriage that ends in not just your death and his death, but the death of pretty much everyone else around you. Being Mrs.Fassbender might be great, but being Lady Macbeth is a much tougher job
Natalie Portman has committed to play Lady Macbeth opposite Fassbender. So two of contemporary cinema's most scintillating stars are now uniting to take on one of William Shakespeare's most famous works.
Set in 11th century Scotland, Macbeth centers on one couple's ruthless ambition to secure the throne. Of course Fassbender as Macbeth is a major casting coup, but equally important is who will play his malevolent Lady M.

Ramon Sessions opened up the second quarter for the Cavaliers with a contested fast-break layup and was able to draw the foul. The crowd is still cheering enthusiastically for their team, but the booing and chanting seems to have died down considerably. It's hard to sustain blatant animosity for that long, I would imagine.
The 'other' James, James Jones, is quietly giving his Heat a boost, hitting three for three from three (say that ten times fast). His accuracy is contributing to a solid 52% shooting percentage. Dwayne Wade, who is probably thankful that the hate has been deflected away from him, has scored a cool 10 points, two of which came off a thunderous dunk.
Every time it looks as though the Heat might fail in the face of all their hype, they make heady, veteran plays and silence the doubters. The Cavaliers managed to force the Heat to take up the entire 24 second shot, but accurate passing and a last-minute lay-in from Juwan Howard saved the possession.
