Sony VAIO Tap 11 review

Features & Design
Value for Money
Sony proudly led the Windows 8 charge with its VAIO Duo 11 hybrid, and now it's the turn of the VAIO Tap 11. Unlike its hybrid stablemates, the VAIO Tap 11 treads a more conventional path – it unites a svelte Windows 8 tablet with a featherlight wireless keyboard.
If first impressions count for anything, the Tap 11 gets off to a flying start. At a whisker less than 11mm thick, it's 3mm thinner than Microsoft's Surface Pro, and it's lighter, too; indeed, Sony's 780g tablet makes the Surface Pro feel decidedly overweight. As a result, it doesn't feel quite as rock-solid and substantial as a result, but it isn't plasticky or lightweight. The Tap 11's body feels taut and well constructed, and the soft-touch matte plastics at the rear and the rounded, rubberised edges make it comfy to hold and easy to grip.
Hidden magnets clamp the keyboard on top of the tablet when it's not in use, and a tiny row of electrical contacts keep its internal battery topped up. With the keyboard in place, the Tap 11's overall thickness swells to 15mm, but it adds only 290g to the weight – with both in a bag, the combined weight of 1.07kg is incredibly light, even by the standards of top-flight Ultrabooks. There's an active stylus thrown in, too, but you'll have to carry this separately, as there's no way of attaching it to the Tap 11 (unless you resort to sticky tape, that is).
Sony has hidden the Tap 11's connectivity behind pop-out flaps. There's a full-sized USB 3 port, a micro-HDMI output, microSD and a SIM slot for the optional 3G adapter. The laptop-style power adapter connects to the tablet's bottom edge via a proprietary connector which, as a safety measure, unclips if the cable is yanked too hard.
In fact, there's precious little missing. Sony has crammed in dual-band 802.11n, Bluetooth 4 and NFC, and it's even found room for a decent set of internal speakers, which, with Sony's Clear Audio technology enabled, are reasonably loud and surprisingly clear. The pair of cameras are less impressive, however. While the front-facing 0.9MP camera is fine for basic purposes, the 8MP sensor at the rear disappoints, with noisy, heavily compressed images.
The Sony's touchscreen is the star of the show. With a Full HD resolution crammed into a 11.6in diagonal, text and images are absolutely pin-sharp, viewing angles are wide, and images look gorgeous. The maximum brightness isn't as high as some tablets we've seen, but at 384cd/m2, it's bright enough for outdoor use, and the measured contrast ratio of 817:1 is solid. Colour accuracy is great, too, and unlike some of its peers, the Sony's panel covers almost every corner of the sRGB gamut, serving up a wide array of bold, saturated hues and lifelike skin tones.
Inside, Intel's Haswell platform takes pride of place. The processor in question, the Core i5-4210Y, operates at only 1.5GHz, with Turbo Boost pushing clock speeds up to 1.9GHz when required, but its ultra-low-voltage design draws a maximum of only 11.5W. Yet, with 4GB of DDR3L low-voltage RAM and a Samsung 128GB SSD alongside, the Tap 11 feels anything but underpowered. Windows 8 feels slick and spritely, and an overall result of 0.54 in our Real World Benchmarks proves there's sufficient power for heavyweight applications, such as Adobe Photoshop or Sony Vegas Pro.

Can this be purchased now; if so where from.

Review comparison
I know the Surface Pro 2 has only been announced, but why compare to the old Surface, when, as pcrook2 asks about where to buy, is the Sony been released yet.
By poetryb on 30 Sep 2013
on Amazon Germany for pre-order (no stock currently available).
By big_D on 30 Sep 2013
They can't compare performance or battery life to the Pro 2, because it isn't available yet and hasn't therefore been tested.
By big_D on 30 Sep 2013
I would be very disappointed if PC Pro had reviewed this device without having one to test (this is billed as a review, not either a first look or a news item). They may of course have had it on loan from Sony prior to availability for purchase.
By JohnAHind on 30 Sep 2013
Where did the price come from; on Amazon germany it is priced at 949.00 euro, which is £793.00, now if this is the price much better in line with Surface 2 128gb version.
By pcrook2 on 30 Sep 2013
Price and availability
Hi all,
The VAIO Tap 11 was provided by Sony, as was the suggested retail pricing. Of course, the actual price may end up varying from retailer to retailer, but it's set to launch sometime in October - I'll update the review with a final price as and when it hits the shelves.
As for the Surface Pro 2, we're hassling the lovely people over at Microsoft on a regular basis and hope to have one soon!

Never buy any v1.x MS product.....
The old IT gurus' rule of thumb from the 1990's appears to hold even in the 21st Century!
This rather confirms my theory that Win 8 was a complete stopgap like the first few versions of "Windows" itself. By Windows for Workgroups (Windows 3.1) MS actually had a reasonably usable product, and the hardware was not "cheap", but was becoming affordable, and the whole package was highly usable.
History seems to be repeating itself, but in keeping with the age, at a faster pace.
Lenovo are tee'd up to deliver another new, improved "Yoga" , and also a superthin Laptop, Nokia will launch another RT device, and even Acer have updated the lamentable Iconia A3 with a decent screen...
Whilst not intrinsically "compelling" me to upgrade my trusty old systems, these things are becoming quite tempting; with a blend of superior technology & enhanced usability.
By wittgenfrog on 30 Sep 2013
Erm, I said the Pro 2 isn't yet available, that is why they compared the Vaio to the original Pro.
By big_D on 30 Sep 2013
Does this Haswell-based tablet support Connected Standby? - The Surface Pro 2 doesn't, even though the Haswell hardware is capable of it.
Does the Tap 11 include GPS? Again the SP2 does not...
By gcoupe on 1 Oct 2013
Features 2
gcoupe you beat me to it - These are the points I would like confirmed connected standby and gps - Sasha are you able to provide a answer, if yes then I will be purchasing the Tap 11.
By pcrook2 on 1 Oct 2013
I believe that (like many tablets) the 3G version has GPS and the Wi-Fi version doesn't, but I've asked Sony for clarification on this and the Connected Standby question.
Watch this space!
By SashaMuller on 1 Oct 2013
It's been confirmed that both the 3G and Wi-Fi versions will have GPS.
Connected Standby hasn't made the cut, however - only Intel's Smart Connect.
If you have any other questions, just ask!
By SashaMuller on 3 Oct 2013
Connected Standby
So, even though the Haswell "Y" chip can support Connected Standby, the Tap 11 doesn't have it. That's a real disappointment.
By gcoupe on 3 Oct 2013
The Slate I've been waiting for EXCEPT ...
This Tap 11 is an incredible piece of kit and I'd be first in line to get it .. only one short fall. THis actually doubles as a tablet and full PC / Lap top replacement. The problem it can't be used in the lap. THat little stand wont support it and theres no docking keyboard to secure it in place. Come On Sony come out with a dockable keyboard (Like a Transformer) and you really could clean the market. I want to buy it, but can't for this reason.
By holsen on 4 Oct 2013

Price much better Sony Germany
Just checked Sony Germany and I can purchase the Tap 11 with 128gb, i5 and Windows 8 pro for 1008.99 euro which at my present card rate comes out at £852.00, Surface beating price.
Why is the UK price so high, come on Sony.

My opinion
The front of the tablet would've been perfect if there's np hole in the lower right. The power adapter has an extra usb port, why not charge the keyboard with a detachable cable to a USB port? Also, I'd remove the kick stand at the rear. It disrupts the clean, smooth back. The space used to accomodate the kickstand might be used for something better, like a bigger battery. The kickstand is useless in portrait mode. Lastly, I would change that dangling port covers to one that has a hinge which swings to the back when open...

only buy it as a toy
This is terrible. It might be OK as a toy or for watching youtube, but if you want to get any work done DON'T BUY THIS. The keyboard connection is intermittent depending on what other bluetooth devices are in the area I think. So it skips letters of gets stuck and has to catch up with itself - especially annoying when deleting of scrolling.
PLUS The keyboard freezes frequently and requires a full restart to get it back. The keyboard runs out of juice way before the tablet so you either have to work on the touch screen - ie stop work; or - like me - carry another keyboard everywhere - which totally defeats the purpose of having something slim and light!
And even if you do plug in a peripheral mouse and keyboard the machine doesn't like it and freezes out every few minutes for ten or fifteen seconds. And I have tries this with a dozen keyboards and mouse combos.
Like I say - It's fine for a toy or watching movies, but it will drive you crazy if you want to get anything done.

Yesterday, Brookwood HS released a video of their own in response to the haters. Pretty dang impressive!
"I count sheep to sleep, so I ain't scare of no ram/Your team locked up like Lindsay Lohan/Stampede the stadium til the seats start tippin'/Rams eat horses? Man, y'all trippin."
These videos have been going around the school and my kids are pretty stoked about 'em.
This video was created by some kids at Grayson HS:
"I see a lot of talkers but I hear no voices/Welcome to a world where rams eat horses/Grayson is the one and we are the one and only/Oh, these dudes are Broncos? I thought they were ponies/Now let us keep in mind it's not just about the scores/cause even our cheerleaders look better than yours."

Strengthening the Positive in Your Marriage
- Tuesday, June 21, 2011
Stop rehearsing marital problems.
Seek and discuss solutions to the problems.
Bad days are part of life. But they don't need to become a way of life. Severe marriage crises happen, but there are often ways to get past them. Accentuating the positive and minimizing the negative will help you to that end.
Although Alexander is cute and our hearts go out to him, another part of us wants to sit him down for a lecture:
"Look, Alexander, life doesn't have to be as bad as you make it. When you focus on the prizes you're not getting, you lose sight of the ones you are getting. When you count all the things you've lost, you miss out on all the things you've gained. It's time to get on with life."
Bad moods and bad days come with the territory. But bad weeks, months, and years are often optional.
A critical barrier between a couple in crisis is the perpetrator/victim mind-set, which can be a serious impediment to healing. Here's how it goes: Having perceived myself as getting a raw deal from you, I rehearse the wrongs I've suffered and remind myself again and again that I am the victim. Of course, this point of view narrows my vision and causes me to move further and further away from you because I blame you for the pain I'm feeling.
Without intervention, before long I've convinced myself that you can never be trusted, you can never satisfy my needs, and you can never help me. In fact, you're completely toxic, and I need to get away from you. Can you see the harm in taking such a position?
The odd thing is that your mate is probably having the same thoughts about you. You're the perpetrator, the victimizer who can never, never be trusted. The barriers between partners becomes larger, the gap wider, and chances of reconciliation smaller.
Rarely is one person solely the perpetrator, while the other is exclusively the victim. More often, both partners have learned to hurl insults and hurts, and both have learned to rehearse their suffering.
What's the answer?
Harville Hendrix, in his book Getting the Love You Want, offers some very practical solutions:
- You realize that your love relationship has a hidden purpose—the healing of childhood wounds. Yes, marriage can be a wonderful place of healing for both of you. You can have a "corrective emotional experience" where you are treated differently and better than you were in childhood.
- You create a more accurate image of your partner. You stop viewing your mate as an evil perpetrator, and begin seeing him or her as very human and fallible, just like you.
- You take responsibility for communicating your needs and desires to your partner. You must let go of the belief that your mate can read your mind, or that his or her sole job is to satisfy your needs. With your help, however, your partner will likely work on meeting your legitimate needs.
- You become more intentional in your interactions. Rather than slipping into old default patterns of interacting, you work on being proactive—planning in advance how you will react to challenging situations.
- You learn to value your partner's needs and wishes as highly as you value your own. In the mature, Christian marriage, you are willing to forego being the center of the world and strive to meet your mate's needs. In fact, you frequently stop to consider his or her immediate need, and if possible, you do your best to meet it.
If you can nurture a spirit of "we're in this together and must find our solutions together" as you navigate this crisis, you'll be greatly strengthened for the journey. If you can view your mate as vulnerable, fragile, and in need of your love, you'll grow in empathy toward each other, creating a powerful bridge. And if you empathize with each other, rather than fighting, you'll be available to assist each other in the healing process.

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > High Cholesterol: Making Lifestyle Changes
High cholesterol is treated with lifestyle changes and medicine. You and your doctor may decide to first try treating your high cholesterol without medicine. Changing some of your habits may be all you need to do to improve your cholesterol levels. Your doctor might suggest that you take medicine too.
A program called Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) can help you create healthy habits that improve your cholesterol levels. TLC is recommended by the National Cholesterol Education Program of the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
You might have to make a few changes to follow the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) program. The truth is that making lifestyle changes takes some work. And making lifestyle changes that become part of your normal routine is harder still. The key is to make small changes and make them a habit. And when you've turned one small change into a lifelong habit, start again with another small change.
Below you'll find some tips for making small changes that can help you get started on healthy changes.
Here are a few tips to get you started on making small changes at home:
At the grocery store:
Eating out:
You don't have to run out and join a gym to get active. Start small, and try to make exercise a part of your daily routine.
For some people, some forms of physical activity might be unsafe or should only be started after talking with a doctor. If you have any concerns, talk to your doctor before starting any exercise or fitness program.
Here are a few tips if you're just starting out:
Remember that getting more active to raise your HDL is not a one-time thing. Activity is something to build into your daily life, for the rest of your life.
Here are a few tips for taking the next step.
If you need to lose a few pounds to reach a healthy weight, don't think you have to try a radical fad diet.
The best way to lose weight is to eat better and move more. Eating smaller portions of healthier food will make you feel better. And along with exercise or even light activity, eating better can help you lose extra pounds if you have them.
Look back at the tips for healthy eating and staying active. Make these changes into a habit, and you'll be on your way to a healthy weight.
Quitting smoking can help you raise your HDL. It's one of the best things you can do for your health. But it isn't easy. Here are a few tips for when you're ready to quit:

The city's not just going after those suspected of similar alleged six- and seven-figure thefts, with more than 30 nonprofits that contract with the city now under scrutiny by the Department of Investigation. It's also mounting a separate effort to curtail financial mismanagement. In months to come, a detailed questionnaire will be landing in the offices of hundreds of nonprofits that hold significant public contracts in human services, requiring leaders to engage in a self-reporting exercise that should expose financial control flaws to themselves – and the Mayor's Office of Contract Services – well before any attention from investigators is necessary.
With nearly a quarter of the city's $15.7 billion procurement budget going toward human services contracting last fiscal year, officials say they're working to make sure public money isn't intentionally flowing into swimming pools for executive directors, say – or accidentally trickling in directions that are improper, if not criminal. Should the efforts – one preventive, one punitive – prove successful, say Mayor's Office of Contract Services Director Marla Simpson and Department of Investigation Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn, both New York City residents and nonprofit contractors will benefit. The nonprofits should emerge better governed, financially stronger – and more aware of potential criminal consequences of money mismanagement – as well as more efficient at delivering social services over the spectrum from the bassinet to seniors' bingo.
The Rosen, Gonzalez and McLaughlin cases, all of which DOI investigated, convinced Gill Hearn by 2005 of the need for a new Nonprofit Vendor Fraud Unit, which by last year was staffed with a handful of experienced accountants, forensic auditors and white-collar crime investigators. DOI Associate Commissioner Richard Krause, a former financial fraud investigator in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District, and Chief Investigative Auditor Ivette Morales, a former financial services manager at Kroll, head up the unit, with help from – among others – the city's inspector general for social services, Pat Russo, who served as state welfare deputy inspector general under Gov. George Pataki. (Each of the 45 city agencies has an inspector general keeping watch.) "I began to see a little bit of a pattern, or not an isolated situation, of the misuse and personal use of government-funded not-for-profit money," Gill Hearn said in an interview. "Nobody is really watching [nonprofits] very closely because they're not city agencies themselves."
Indeed, the case of Charles Rosen – a DOI investigation into fraud at the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club in the Bronx, of which he was executive director – resulted in DOI including recommendations for better nonprofit internal governance in its Sept. 2006 findings report, which also announced that through a negotiated settlement the city would be reimbursed for $625,000 that was stolen or misused. Meanwhile, State Sen. Efrain Gonzalez Jr., a Bronx Democrat, was indicted in 2006 on federal corruption charges (but hasn't yet been tried) for stealing more than $400,000 in state money – a case that DOI pursued after receiving a complaint, eventually finding that funds for Gonzalez' West Bronx Neighborhood Association were being appropriated for personal uses. And former Assemblyman Brian McLaughlin, a Queens Democrat and former president of the New York City Central Labor Council who was indicted for stealing more than $2 million from the state, unions and other organizations, pleaded guilty last week to racketeering and making false statements. DOI was a primary player in that investigation from its beginning.
Gill Hearn doesn't know whether there's more fraud taking place in nonprofits today than in the past – but she is convinced it's enough to merit the extra focus. Although some of the current 30 to 40 open cases may dry up without substantiation, she says, in others it's looking like public dollars have been pilfered to the tune of six and seven figures. And who's coming under the microscope? "Definitely a lot of youth program activity – after school, day care and other youth programs," she said, as well as nonprofit organizations dealing with substance abuse counseling, foster care, seniors' care and mental health. Some are small grassroots groups, others are medium-sized or well established. Some are aware of the investigations; others are not.
"We're going after cases where something systemic is going on," Gill Hearn said. "What we're seeing is outright misappropriation of funds, backed up by falsified invoices." There are excessive salaries and benefits, cars, expense accounts, nepotism, no-show or low-show jobs, and self-dealing – meaning that, for example, a board member is paid for providing goods or services without full disclosure and approval. "I think 2008 is going to be a year where you do see a number of these cases come to fruition."
DOI operates differently than a prosecutor, though. Gill Hearn is quick to point out that her department is a city agency just like those hiring the contractors, and she'll sometimes alert other agency heads of apparent problems before an investigation is concluded, if it could improve actual service delivery to city residents.
The Gloria Wise case also was catalyst for creation of the Capacity Building and Oversight unit in the Mayor's Office of Contract Services (MOCS) says assistant director for CBO Jenny Walty. Freshly minted this fall by MOCS chief Simpson, CBO is launching a "Not-for-Profit Vendor Review Program" to learn more about nonprofits' financial practices – and tighten them up where needed. Of the 800 nonprofit vendors holding human services contracts worth at least $1 million (in aggregate, if not alone), 50 will soon receive a four-page questionnaire asking questions about financial controls, board structure and governance, and executive compensation. The four-page Not-for-Profit Vendor Review Report also asks for 15 attachments, such as audited financial statements, bylaws and an organizational chart.
The way nonprofits operate and are used by the city "runs on an assumption of strong internal oversight, internal controls," says Simpson. Although the recommendations DOI made in the Gloria Wise Girls and Boys Club case report were helpful, they were "not necessarily a complete blueprint for what we thought needed to happen with the sector," she said.

The Tin Manby Dale Brown
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The master of military adventure creates the ultimate one-man army....
New York Times bestselling author Dale Brown pits men and technology against impossible odds, in vividly realized stories. Now, in his eleventh novel, he brings aerial combat hero Patrick McLanahan out of retirement and plunges him into the most personal war he's ever fought.
His old enemy Gregory Townsend has come to America to ignite a reign of terror that will sweep across the nation. The police and the government seem powerless to stop him. And one of the first casualties in this war is a rookie cop--McLanahan's brother.
McLanahan has plenty of experience in war. And so does arms expert Jon Masters. Using Masters's deadliest weapon yet, McLanahan becomes a one-man army, known on the streets as the Tin Man. But this time, technology is a double-edged sword--and his war of revenge may destroy McLanahan himself... and everything he stands for.
About the Author
Dale Brown is a former captain in the U.S. Air Force. He lives in Nevada, where he can often be found high in the sky, piloting his own plane. He is the author of ten previous novels, all of them New York Times bestsellers.

Florham Park, NJ (Sports Network) - Mike Tannenbaum has been fired as the general manager of the New York Jets, chairman and CEO Woody Johnson announced in a statement Monday.
"This morning, I informed Mike Tannenbaum that he will not return for the 2013 season," Johnson said. "Mike devoted 15 years of service to the Jets, and I want to thank him for his hard work and dedication. Although he helped guide us to two consecutive AFC Championship games, we are not where we want to be, and a new general manager will be critical to getting this team back on the right track."
Tannenbaum joined the Jets in 1997 as the director of player contract negotiations and served in a variety of administrative football management positions before being named as the GM in 2006.
Under his tenure, New York amassed a 57-55 record and advanced to back-to-back conference championships in 2009 and 2010.
But the team has failed to finish the season with a winning record over the past two seasons, falling to 8-8 in 2011 and finishing this past season with a 6-10 mark to fall into last place in the AFC East.
Despite the fall, Johnson also announced on Monday that head coach Rex Ryan will keep his job.
"I believe that he has the passion, the talent, and the drive to successfully lead our team," Johnson said about Ryan.

Very nice campground: clean and friendly. Caters to dog owners with dedicated play areas for dogs. Lots to do for kids. Nice shallow pool. Location could be better as there isn't anything to do close to the campground. Bugs galore.

[ 6/10 ]
Overall, a nice place. You get what you expect from a KOA campground. Well maintained and clean. My complaints: The campground is on a hill. Some sites are leaning sideways a lot. Biking on the grounds is limited, especially for small kids due to the sloped terrain. The water saving in showers is excessive, all you get is a needle-sharp mist. Shower stalls are tiny. Wi-Fi is free only for one hour, regardless of how long you stay, pay afterwards. Inadequate laundry facilities. The staff tie up the machines to wash the cabin linens.

On Saturday I came to the conclusion that there is no such thing as too many blueberries, but on Sunday the eating got extremely decadent at Fair Oaks Farm about 25 miles south of Merrillville, Indiana.
Organic Blueberries Take Precedence at Mishawaka: Fortunately, it is difficult to eat too many blueberries as my family found out last weekend. My grandson Teddy ended up at the Blueberry Ranch on Buckeye Road in Mishawaka because the upickem fruit farm uses no pesticides and asks visitors to do the same and watch the sunscreen. My daughter-in-law was not only impressed with the careful attitude about safety, she also loved the prices! It is $1.95 per pound for u-pick and you can pick more than you can eat in about an half hour. But you can buy a huge 5 lb. Box that someone else picked for $15. Blueberry Ranch is open until 5 pm on Saturday and closed Sunday.
Also the National Blueberry Festival is already underway in South Haven, Michigan. During the long weekend all kinds of fresh blueberry products are available, there's a 5K walk-run, riverfront concerts and most activities are free. The festival lasts through August 12th.
On Sunday the Eating Got Very Decadent: Fair Oaks Farm, straight down south on I-65, is one of the great places to eat on Sunday morning. We got there about a 20 minutes after they opened and hit the cafe first. This may have been slightly backwards but the dairy-made ice cream line was moving faster than the cheese line so we had an ice cream apertif. Teddy got a very large cone in a cup on top of what seemed to be way more than one scoop of vanilla. His Dad had two scoops and I had one of butter pecan. Delicious. We followed up with grilled cheddar cheese sandwiches. Fair Oaks has great cheddar and you probably know you can get two-year aged cheddar at Strack's, but you can get five-year aged cheddar at the dairy. That alone may be worth the trip --- oh and the cheese curds. But the ice cream is really great and you probably should bring a cooler if you don't go that often. The animals, the birthing center, the cows and now the pig tour are legendary, but there were a whole lot of interesting exhibits, a train ride, a maze with a slide at the center, that were just perfect even for a two-year-old.

Ben Amos may start for Hull City at Birmingham after Steve Bruce admits being 'hasty'
Posted: November 16, 2012|
STEVE Bruce has hinted goalkeeper Ben Amos could yet be handed a reprieve and spared the axe when Hull City travel to Birmingham City tomorrow.
Amos' position in the Tigers' line-up has been under scrutiny this week after his early mistake contributed to a 2-1 loss at Cardiff City last weekend.
The 22-year-old's dip in form initially led Bruce to suggest a change of goalkeeper could be on the cards at St Andrews.
However, having welcomed Amos back from England under-21s duty yesterday, the City boss appeared to be leaning towards continuity.

Hull City's Sone Aluko returns to Birmingham determined to prove how far he's come
"Ben's played for England in the week and kept a clean-sheet, that will help his confidence," said Bruce, who had Amos watched in the under-21s' 2-0 win over Northern Ireland.
"He's made a mistake last week at Cardiff, but you get that with young goalkeepers and it's all about bouncing back.
"Ben's a young man with a lot of ability and the one thing you can't do is dwell on it. The great goalkeepers are the ones who don't make many mistakes. That's how I judge a goalkeeper."
Bruce insisted yesterday he was yet to make a final decision but added: "Maybe I was a bit hasty straight after the Cardiff game because it was arguably Ben's best game for us.
"He pulled off some terrific saves in the second half to keep us in the game, but he's made a mistake too. I'll have a decision to make for the Birmingham game."
Amos appears to be the favourite to hold on to the number one shirt ahead of Eldin Jakupovic, who Bruce cast an eye over in City's 1-1 friendly draw at Peterborough United on Tuesday.
The Tigers' boss also took the opportunity to scout Mark Oxley, who performed well in Burton Albion's 2-0 win at Altrincham in the FA Cup last night.
The 22-year-old is highly-regarded by City's coaching staff and his loan spell at the League Two side has a recall option if necessary.
• Is Australia's Mat Ryan the long-term answer to Hull City's goalkeeping conundrum?

When do the impeachment hearings start?

This is just more proof that Holder is either too stupid to hold the job, is an Affirmative action DOJ, or is just totally corrupt. My guess, it is all three

If 2/3rds of the States can call a Constitutional Convention, then why can´t 2/3rds of the States´ Attorneys´ General call for Impeachment proceedings for the U.S. AG? Seems logical to me that there is some basis in doing this. Holder is blatently being a loose canon with the law, playing a game of "catch me if you can" with law enforcement. He´s a disgrace to the legal profession, and that´s pretty low indeed.

A councillor in Ballycastle has said a club that was vandalised with sectarian graffiti will continue to go from strength to strength as he emphasised the positive aspect of being a Gael.
Easter Week 1916 Proclamation Youth Debate
At four minutes past noon on 24 April 1916 the proclamation to the Irish people was read from the steps of the General Post Office (G.P.O.) on Dublin's O'Connell Street by Patrick Pearse.
Last week a debate organised by Independent Councillor Padraig McShane for young people explored the message of the Rising and the subsequent aftermath. A focus on the Proclamation and the Good Friday Agreement, there parallels and their differences!
Commenting on the events of Easter Week and the 98th Anniversary of the 1916 Rising Moyle Independent Councillor Padraig McShane said the most potent weapon in the history of Ireland remained the Easter Proclamation to the Irish people.
The Councillor said;
"Ignoring that leaden and almost perfectly ductile phrase, 'peace', which was used to sell the Good Friday Agreement on a weary population, the 1916 document – considered by many scholars and academics to be a political watershed – was so advanced and ahead of its time that when stood beside the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, it makes the later look dated and mundane.
"Even today its greatest virtue would be a genuine peace removed from the curse of sectarianism.
"Among the many strategic aims and objectives of the document, 'the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland; that the form of government was to be a republic; a guarantee of "religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens", the first mention of gender equality and a promise to cherish "all the children of the nation equally".
"It was these aims coupled with a clearly defined will to govern – 'oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien government' – that spell out the terminal danger to the Empire from which Ireland sought to free herself."
Acknowledging the need for – yet the shortcomings in the Good Friday Agreement – young people from North Antrim suggested;
"The overarching difference between the aims of Proclamation and the Good Friday Agreement remained stark. The proclamation envisaged a nation of equals not dependent on colour creed or class while the Good Friday has clearly defined the 'statelet' and it's people as separate and distinct.
Another noted;
"Today's political governing is based on religious make up and runs entirely contrary to the aims of the 1916 document."
Councillor McShane concluded that young people had a tangible grasp on the differences contained within the documents.
"While the Good Friday Agreement has been used to cement political strength for favoured individual outcomes in association with her majesty's government, it remains indisputable – the will of the 1916 proclamation would best serve the people of Ireland as a unit."
Pandering to Sectarianism Costs Moyle Thousands.
He continued;

If it's traditional and Irish you want on St. Patrick's weekend, then here's two events not to be missed.
Moyle District Council in association with Causeway Coast Arts is proud to present local band Fonn the traditional/folk outfit will be accompanied in an amazing double bill by PITAK from Guadeloupe at the Marine Hotel this Friday March 14th @7:30pm. Tickets £6/£5 (conc).
Fonn comprise Aoda Jeffries joining the husband and wife team of Catherine and Michael Sands. Last year they played with Afresh, an Afro-beat, reggae, Jazz outfit while this year they deliver alongside PITAK who are playing Creole Soul music from Guadeloupe. mailto:http://www.feileafrica.com/pitak.html
It's one of two events not to be missed this St. Patrick's weekend. The other of course is the visit of the 'Rebels' to Ballycastle. It's fair to say Antrim are struggling a little in this year's league but it ain't often we get Cork Hurlers up to the North Coast. Throw-in 2pm at Páirc MacUílín
Tourism/Leisure Facility Update
"A Tourism and Leisure facility in Ballycastle is now inevitable and construction should begin in the 2016/17 financial year".
"That Council prepares a robust case for the development of the Tourism, Leisure Facility for the Moyle Area to be put forward to the Transition Committee for consideration".
"The decision by Moyle to support my request to update the feasibility study this year is an important step. Design and planning will follow in the 2015/16 financial year with building commencing the year after."Concerns have been raised about cost which has been used to block the project in the past. The obstacle has been overcome and we can build and maintain the Tourism/Leisure centre for an additional 1% on the rates of the new super council. Given that our rates in Moyle could drop by as much as 15%, we could not only have this facility but a substantially reduced rates bill."We must remember this type of facility is taken for granted in every other Council area in the North".
"The case of need alongside the feasibility study has already been established. It is now a statutory requirement for the super council. The only real reason why it could refuse to develop a centre is on the grounds of affordability. Our work over the last number of years has proved the centre is affordable. Should a future super council refuse to develop it they will inevitably find themselves answerable to a judicial review. The Tourism/Leisure facility will therefore be developed".
"Failure is an orphan while success will have many fathers. The heavy lifting on this project has been completed by Moyle District Council over the last number of years. Given the project is on a successful trajectory, others will undoubtedly wish to attach themselves to that success. I welcome it eventually reached Stormont but surrounding that debate is a few unpalatable facts."The project is seven years old yet only when success is presenting itself do MLA's bring it to the floor. It seems no local MLA was aware of the facts of the Strategic Leisure research in addition to the tourism section of the proposals. Undoubtedly the most confusing aspect of the question about Leisure provision in Moyle was that it was asked of the DOE Minister. One would have thought it would have been more appropriate to ask the Minister responsible for Leisure."
Pairc MacUilin Prepares for Antrim v's Wexford
"We look forward to welcoming Wexford to Ballycastle. It's a great occasion for local Gaels in North Antrim to play host to some of the illustrious names in the hurling world. The 'yellow bellies' of Wexford will provide keen opposition on Sunday before the 'Rebels' of Cork arrive next month.
"While the Club have prepared well to play host, the Council have sought to play their part also. I received excellent input from Kerrie, our tourist officer, when I asked her to promote the game. Not only is it on the Council website but the Causeway Coast & Glens Tourism Partnership, NITB and Bord Failte Ireland have advertised and marketed the events prominently. It is hoped the local economy will receive a bounce from the games".
"Hurling has seen a dramatic improvement in Antrim over the last few years. Shamrocks in Loughgiel have set the standard in recent competitions and Antrim's under 21's beat Sunday's opposition to progress to the Inter-county All-Ireland at that level last season. Where once it would have been unthinkable for Antrim to beat Wexford, Sunday could serve up a cracker with the outcome unpredictable."
Following his visit to Derry at the weekend Councillor Padraig McShane highlighted the similarities in The Bloody Sunday march and the march for civil rights some 42 years earlier.
"It will be lost on no one that many marching today were still protesting at the distri
bution and allocation of housing. Rights surrounding the access to fair and gainful employment for all and the highlighting of the devastation wrecked on healthcare provision.
Glens Retained In New Domain Name. Legal Threats Thwart Partisan Ambitions!
The Glens will be retained in the domain name of the super council. The new model, stretching from Greysteel near Derry City to Waterfoot in the Glens of Antrim, being brought in under the Review of Public Administration will merge Moyle Limavady, Coleraine and Ballymoney councils.
Independent Councillor Padraig McShane welcomed the move saying it was essential for the development and security of the Causeway Coast and Glens brand. In addition it will make sure the business sector is not disenfranchised in the Glens area.
"I welcome the fact that both the DUP & UUP in Ballymoney and Coleraine have been brought to their senses. The first proposal was both sectarian and partisan. No reasonable argument could be presented to sustain the proposal to drop the Glens".
Councillor McShane had promised to take the matter to the courts with a judicial review being proposed should the transition committee have decided to drop the Glens from the domain name.
"It's ironic that it was Coleraine DUP Councillor George Duddy who proposed the domain name to include the Glens in the title. He had been one of the most vocal proponents of dropping the Glens.
"Those set out to intentionally disenfranchise anyone on the basis of their culture or religion have learned a valuable lesson I feel. A judicial review will go with attempts to do either both now and in the future.
"The domain name should never have been an issue. I would hope the unfortunate episode can now be set to the side and the committee can perform on the basis of equality and need".
'Glens' Domain Name Legal Challenge!
The transitional committee of the Causeway Coast & Glens super council will face a legal challenge if they vote to drop the 'Glens' from the Council's domain name. The warning came from Moyle Independent Councillor Padraig McShane, who went on to describe the proposed move as; "the beginning of a process that would lead to the introduction of 'political and cultural apartheid' in Ballycastle and the Glens".
"It is clear that Unionists in both Coleraine and Ballymoney are keen to rid themselves of the Glens badge in any future Council. But the reason to do so does not contain one logically compelling, deeply informed, or conceptually arresting argument".
"If as Councillor McShane has indicated, the Causeway Coast and Glens transition committee intends to proceed with the omission of the "Glens" from the domain name of the new council, then the consequences will be clearly detrimental to our client. In this instance our client will have no option but to challenge such a decision through the courts."
"For a short time I entertained the misguided hope that political Unionism, both in Coleraine and Ballymoney, might rise above what has distinguished Unionist politics on this island. But it is clear from the latest move that, 'The Green Glens of Antrim', from Glentaise in Ballycastle to Glenariff in Waterfoot, are a shade too green for some Unionists.
"Ballycastle and the Glens are steeped in Gaelic tradition and culture. The fusion of language, music and sports will make up an integral and desirable part of any new political considerations for local government. Councillors in Ballymoney and Coleraine must begin to embrace the area and look upon it as the asset it is."And decision made by the members of the transition committee must be morally sound. If the wish is to disenfranchise an entire area because of its political or religious makeup, then I can confirm that legal repercussions will accompany any and all those decisions both now and in the future.
"The old order and the undiluted power that was accorded to it is being erased from the pages of time. Those Councillors who incubate a desire to return to the 'failed political model' of the past should avail of the opportunity to retire.
Cushendall Beach. Commitment Secured Following Onsite Meeting
"After consultation in 2010 with the community in the Glens we identified several projects of work, chief among them the beach at Cushendall. I was fit to identify funding from the Rural Development Programme in conjunction with securing a commitment from my colleagues in Moyle Council to invest in the scheme."I spent quite some time in the Glens on Friday and to see the damage to the beach was disappointing. I have addressed the need to have the significant damage assessed and repaired as quickly as possible. In addition I have already hosted a meeting with some of the senior management team and other colleagues in Moyle District Council on site to plan a coordinated response to the devastation.
"The Glens has suffered severely at the hands of mother nature over the last twelve months. Glenariff Forest Park suffered considerable damage in March of last year and is only beginning to receive a definitive response from the Forestry Department. The repairs to the beach at Cushendall will require a more expeditious response from Moyle District Council."

I ran the parts in the Dry Shine for about 20 minutes or so and then took 'em out to take a look. The parts were clean, smooth, and burr free, but not polished at all (though I really didn't expect 'em to be). You see, the most important thing to remember with a tumbler is that, in order to get the best result, time your most important factor. The more time parts spend in the tumbler the better job it does. In my case I was too impatient so I deemed the job complete before I really allowed the tumbler the time to do what it could—but in the future I'll let it run for the recommended time (three to seven hours for heavily rusted parts). Though, the actual time needed to achieve a desired result may vary from an hour to several hours depending on the degree of rust on the parts being cleaned.

Petition to Obama: Remove Marijuana From the Schedule of Drugs
(MPP) In a profile published this week by The New Yorker magazine, President Barack Obama acknowledged the fact that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol for the consumer. Yet federal law classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug, a category the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) considers "the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules." It's time for that to change.
The Controlled Substances Act gives the executive branch, led by President Obama, the legal authority to remove marijuana from the DEA's schedule of drugs. That authority should be exercised immediately.
Please sign our Change.org petition calling on President Obama to remove marijuana from the DEA's schedule of drugs. Then share it widely with your friends and relatives, and encourage them to sign and share it, too.

Osteoarthritis Health Center
Osteoarthritis Treatment Options
Medications continued...
Your doctor may recommend the use of antidepressants to help treat chronic pain whether you have depression or not. In 2010, the FDA approved the antidepressant duloxetine (Cymbalta) for chronic musculoskeletal pain, including the pain of osteoarthritis. Although not FDA-approved for this use, another class of antidepressants called tricyclics may also help manage chronic pain. These include amitriptyline, desipramine (Norpramin), and imipramine (Tofranil). It is not exactly clear how antidepressants help curb pain, but antidepressant effects on brain chemicals is believed to play a role. Side effects can range from drowsiness to dry mouth and blurred vision. Rarely, these drugs can lead to mood changes or suicidal thoughts.
Most people with osteoarthritis don't need surgery, but if your pain and stiffness are so severe that you just can't function, your doctor might suggest it as a last resort. Surgery can improve your joint alignment, help your joints move more smoothly, and relieve your pain. Techniques used for osteoarthritis include:
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that may temporarily relieve arthritis pain, although whether it works better than medication or physical therapy is questionable. During this procedure, the surgeon makes a very small incision in the affected joint and inserts a thin, lighted tube and small surgical instruments. Through this small cut, the doctor can view joint damage and remove loose pieces of cartilage, smooth out rough surfaces, or remove damaged tissues.
If you're still young and active and you've got knee or hip osteoarthritis, you may be able to have an osteotomy, or joint-preserving surgery. By cutting and removing a section of the bone, this procedure improves joint alignment and stability so you can delay having joint replacement surgery.
Joint fusion
In this technique, the surgeon removes the joint completely from the ends of the two bones that connect it. The bones are then held together with screws, pins, or plates until they heal. Over time, the bones should fuse into one piece, but they will no longer be flexible.
Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty)
Osteoarthritis can take its toll on your joints, and over time you may have no choice but to replace a worn out hip or knee joint with a man-made plastic or metal version. If osteoarthritis is only in one part of the knee joint, you can have a partial knee or hip replacement -- a less invasive procedure that will still help improve function.
Alternative Remedies for Osteoarthritis
A few complementary and alternative treatments have been studied for osteoarthritis relief, but before you try any of these therapies, talk to your doctor and make sure it won't have side effects or interact with other treatments you're using.
Acupuncture is a popular arthritis treatment, and some evidence of benefit has been suggestive but not conclusive in some patients.

While a student at The New School, Peter met the legendary guitarist Jim Hall, who asked him to participate in his Invitational Concert as part of the 1990 JVC Jazz Festival. The event featured such guitarists as John Scofield and Pat Metheny and was released as a CD by Music Masters. Hall once noted that Peter ...has paid attention to the past as well as the future. He is the most impressive young guitarists I've heard. He plays the best of them all for swing, logic, feel and taste....

Pull Up Your Pants No One Wants To See Your Underwear, Harlem, NYC
It's true: No One wants to see your underwear. Of course, these signs were meant to be a little, er, cheeky, but in some towns politicians actually made it against the law to let your pants sag too low. The town of Delcambre, in Louisiana, threatened offenders with six months of jail time.
Here in New York, politicians like Eric Adams took a more forgiving route, running billboards proclaiming "Stop the Sag!"
Another politician, Malcolm Smith, spent $2200 in campaign funds on anti-sag ads on the sides of buses.
"I said my pants are up, my image is fine. I said you can be cool as well. This is the new cool, just raising your pants," said Smith, at a press conference I attended in 2010.
Ironically, Smith was just arrested last week — for allegedly trying to rig the New York City mayoral race. So he may not be the best role model after all.

Long: "They say they don't like my methods. Well, I don't like them either. I really don't like to have to do things the way I do.

Only I know that laws ain't made that way. You've got to fight fire with fire.

'The greatest criminals in history,' Ivanov went on, 'are not of the type Nero and Fouché, but of the type Gandhi and Tolstoy. Gandhi's inner voice has done more to prevent the liberation of India than the British guns. To sell oneself for thirty pieces of silver is an honest transaction; but to sell oneself to one's own conscience is to abandon mankind. History is a priori amoral; it has no conscience. To want to conduct history according to the maxims of the Sunday school means to leave everything as it is. You know that as well as I do. You know the stakes in this game, and here you come talking about Bogrov's whimpering… .'
Rubashov shrugged his shoulders. 'Admit,' he said, 'that humanism and politics, respect for the individual and social progress, are incompatible. Admit, that Gandhi is a catastrophe for India; that chasteness in the choice of means leads to political impotence. In negatives we agree. But look where the other alternative has led us… .'
'Well,' asked Ivanov. 'Where?'
Rubashov rubbed his pince-nez on his sleeve, and looked at him shortsightedly. 'What a mess,' he said, 'what a mess we have made of our golden age.'"

I happen to like Stanislas/Constantine. When dealing with an incensed young Bosnian who accused him of being a government stooge, he responds with some gravity by saying:
"Yes. For the sake of my country, and perhaps a little for the sake of my soul, I have given up the deep peace of being in opposition."
This is one of the more profoundly mature, and also among the most tragic, of the signals that (Rebecca) West's ear was attuned to pick up."
"Arguably: Selected Essays" - Christopher Hitchens
'The Deep Peace of Being In Opposition' - yes I think this describes it well.
"Yeah, and he wanted the one last damned thing you can't inherit. And you know what it is?" He started at Adam's face.
"What?" Adam said, after a long pause.
"Goodness. Yeah, just plain, simple goodness. Well you can't inherit that from anybody. You gotta make it, Doc. If you want it. And you got to make it out of badness. Badness. And you know why, Doc?" He raised his bulk up in the broken-down wreck of an overstuffed chair he was in, and leaned forward, his hands on his knees, his elbows cocked out, his head out-thrust and the hair coming down to his eyes, and stared into Adam's face. "Out of badness," he repeated. "And you know why? Because there isn't anything else to make it out of.""

The last known photo of Cliff Burton was taken backstage at the Solnahallen arena in Sweden the night of September 26th, 1986. Metallica was headlining a show in front of 2,700 fans supporting their Master of Puppets album.
Later that night after the show the band packed their bus to head to their next show in Copenhagen Denmark and because they didn't like the sleeping cubicles on their bus drew cards to see who would get the bunks. That night Burton drew the Ace of Spades and got first choice of bunks. He pointed at Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett and exclaimed "I want your bunk!" to which Hammett replied "Fine, take my bunk, I'll sleep up front, it's probably better up there anyway".
Around seven am the next morning while the band was sleeping the bus driver lost control and the bus began to skid off the road. The driver tried to prevent the bus from sliding off the road but he over corrected and the bus caught the pavement and rolled over causing Burton be thrown from the bus which then fell on top of him. Cliff Burton was dead at 24.

Summer is what gardeners dream of all winter—warm weather, flourishing flowers, and a bountiful harvest that's carried straight from the veggie patch to the dinner table. But along with the sun and fun of summer comes a host of problems that can frustrate even the most steadfast gardeners. Your plants suffer from too much water . . . or too little. Even if the rabbits leave your garden alone, the Japanese beetles will surely come after it. Don't slug it out with the garden slugs all by yourself! We've got your back. Read on to learn how to combat some of the most common summer gardening problems.
