6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up

Sure, Usher's admission in the December issue of Maxim magazine that he was attending orgies with Diddy at the age of 16 caused a lot of waves, but it was something else he admitted that has Wack much more concerned. Yes, it seems R&B's highest paid Michael Jackson impersonator harbors a much deeper secret: his singular desire to work with New Jersey's second son, Jon Bon Jovi.
Call it Confessions, Pt. III,but this is a growing and unsettling trend in hip-hop and R&B -- namely, artists in these genres stroking the egos of their white-bread, milquetoast pop counterparts. Pharrell loves Ben Folds, Lil Jon loves Franz Ferdinand, Kanye loves Fiona Apple so much he head-hunted her producer, and it seems damn near everyone in the game has hopped aboard the SS Coldplay at one time or another. What's next? DMX has a soft spot for Jason Mraz? Snoop Dogg has a secret stash of Death Cab records? Well, we here at Wack have put on our reporter caps to unearth the next "that album really got me through some hard times" hip-hop moment, and you'll be shocked by our findings.
Sit down, heads.
Ghostface of Wu-Tang Clan bites new-wave icons Echo & the Bunnymen's seminal album Ocean Rainfor his lyrical bag of nonsensical hodgepodge. And here you thought he was on some stream-of-consciousness tip. Shhhhhhhhhiiiiiiit!
Now, before you get your Roca Wear drawers in a twist, please consider the evidence. What follows are a few lyric samples from both. Please notice that, above all else, none of it makes the least bit of sense. Couple this with the fact Ghostface has spit rhymes about rabbits, whether they be the $10,000 or snow-white variety, on each of his albums, and we see him getting this off his chest in the pages of XXLby next month.
On food
Ghostface, Supreme Clientele, "Buck 50"
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious / dociousexpialicalifragilisticsuper / Cancun / Catch me in the room eatin' grouper!
Echo & the Bunnymen, Ocean Rain, "Thorn of Crowns"
C-C-C-Cucumbers, C-C-C-Cabbage, C-C-C-Cauliflower / Men on Mars / April showers!
On violence and more food
Ghostface, Supreme Clientele, "Ghost Deini"
Y'all know how we dine / We don't eat swine / We don't drink wine / If you don't bring me some muthafuckin' Cognac I'll kill you
Echo & the Bunnymen, Ocean Rain, "Crystal Days"
B-b-burn the skin off and climb the rooftop / Thy will be done / B-b-bite the nose off / and make it the most of / Your king- kingdom kingdom kingdom
On recreational activities
Ghostface, Pretty Tony Album, "Beat the Clock"
I hold a mike like I'm Gail Sayers / Hoppin' over chairs like O.J. / My rushin' yards depend how the meter spray / Happy wife-beater day / Don't touch my cheeba hay / Get off my D-I, then go C the K
Echo & the Bunnymen, Ocean Rain, "Ocean Rain"
All hands on deck at dawn / Sailing to sadder shores / Your port in my heavy storms / Harbors the blackest thoughts
On religion
Ghostface, Supreme Clientele, "Wu Banga 101"
Bottles goin' off in the church / We broke the wine, slapped the pastor / Didn't know Pop had asthma / He pulled out his blue bible, change fell out his coat / Three condoms, two dice, one bag of dope / Oooh! Rev. ain't right / His church ain't right / Deacon is a pimp, tell by his eyes
Echo & the Bunnymen, see entire catalog
Listen to Ghost's records and Ocean Rain back-to-back and more evidence will reveal itself. In other news, both artists have chosen to skip Houston on their current U.S. tours. Coincidence? We think not.
Band name: Type Nine
Web site:www.typenineonline.com
Personnel: Aubs on the vox, Joshua Caleb on the guitar, Jason on the drums, Jerod on the bass, and for now Beau, he's on guitar too!
Native or transplant? Native basically we are from all over! Baytown, Splendora but yeah, we claim Houston.
What's in a name, particularly yours? Type Nine well, it comes from the nine types of personalities. The ninth type is one who is caring, shows compassion and brings about a hopeful message.
When did you form?We began back in 2000, I think we've had a couple members come and go, but our core of Aubs, Jason and Jerod are originals.
Releases/discography: We used to be known as Crossover, we had one album back in 2004 We had a radio single called "And I Will" that charted in several major cities most notably Miami We reached No. 4 on THE CALL FM, yeah, we are pretty big down there I mean, you know, we like to think so
Who or what do you think you sound like? Oh, geez Well, we don't really sound like anyone, we have tons of influences the list is too large to even begin!
What are some of your noteworthy recent feats? Well, the single charting in some major cities was cool. We've toured several times along the Southeast and up in the Midwest playing several festivals with several thousand in attendance. We got some nice label stuff going now too not much to elaborate on yet.
What albums have had the biggest impact on you? The last couple Switchfoot albums have been great. The Beautiful Letdown was an album which really did not have any filler on it the album could be listened to all the way through without skipping a song. This is what we want our albums to be like.

Review: 'The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth' by Alexandra Robbins
BY DUSTIN MICHAEL HARRIS firstname.lastname@example.com May 12, 2011 6:52PM
THE GEEKS SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH QUIRK THEORY AND WHY OUTSIDERS THRIVE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL By Alexandra Robbins, Hyperion, 448 pages, $25.99
By Alexandra Robbins
Hyperion, 448 pages, $25.99
Updated: June 16, 2011 12:18AM
If high school was the best time of your life, chances are you have little in common with the teenagers in Alexandra Robbins' The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth . Drudging up all the awkward memories and cringe-worthy behavior that comes with being a teenager, the best-selling author mercilessly sends us back to school to learn why the freaks and geeks, or "cafeteria fringe," often grow up to be more successful and admired than their popular counterparts.
At the heart of Geeks is quirk theory, which "hypothesizes that the very characteristics that exclude the cafeteria fringe in school are the same traits that will make them successful as adults and outside the school setting": creativity/originality, freethinking/vision, resilience, authenticity/self-awareness, integrity/candor, curiosity/love of learning/passion, and courage.
Robbins' breezy writing style allows her to effortlessly wade through compelling psychological data, pop culture trends and interviews with high school students, but her narrative masterstroke lies in the decision to follow seven individuals who exemplify the cafeteria fringe. These "characters" are the heart and soul of the book.
It's a pleasure getting to know Blue (The Gamer), Danielle (The Loner), Regan (The Weird Girl), Eli (The Nerd), Noah (The Band Geek), Joy (The New Girl) and Whitney (The Popular Bitch). Each of our heroes embodies some, if not all of the characteristics of quirk theory, and compelling reads are plenty. Regan's narrative takes an especially shocking turn. Let's just say the culture among teachers isn't much better than the students they teach. That said, it's Blue who really steals the book.
An openly gay teenager at a small school in Hawaii, Blue is a free-thinking, passionate, intelligent senior dealing with loneliness, "friends" who treat him terribly, the threat of not graduating, and a mother who insists on sending him to the military instead of college. Blue is the emotional center of Geeks and it's impossible to not root for him. In one of the book's most touching scenes, he befriends the valedictorians of his class as part of a challenge issued by Robbins (she issued challenges designed to take each of her subjects out of their comfort zones). At graduation, Blue listens to one of his new friends thank him in front of thousands of people for having such a positive impact on her life. Turns out, he wrote her speech that night, too.
The goal of Geeks is admirable, and Robbins is smart enough to transcend her book's title. She isn't a disgruntled nerd out to rip popular kids or promote the validity of some labels over others. Geeks is about the struggle all kids face in the fight to forge an identity during their most formative years. Within the high school setting, individuality suffers and conformity rules. It's a global problem. Citing a 2006 Scottish health services report, Robbins writes, the "capacity for divergent thinking (a good proxy for creativity and imagination) declines steadily from 98 percent at age 3-5 to just 2 percent at age 25 as we progress through the educational system." The report's author concluded, "We teach conformity." Our heroes are just that because they refuse to conform — an easy route to popularity in the high school world.
With the inclusion of Whitney, the reader gets a frightening look into the world of the populars. Whitney chose to call herself "The Popular Bitch" because she recognized that being mean is an effective way to hold onto status. Popularity in high school isn't about being well-liked so much as it's about being visible and part of a selective group. And populars are just as tough on their own as they are on those they perceive as outcasts. Robbins writes about a group in Arkansas that calls themselves "The Exclusives" and has an entire host of rules for its members. Some of the rules: "All weight is reported to the group"; "all sex is to be admitted to the group and scored 1-5"; "eating disorders are okay, but they have to be secret." When Whitney "de-cliques" herself from the populars, she is disheartened to learn that other groups preach conformity as well.
Geeks is required reading for anyone who has ever felt left out, dismissed, laughed at, bullied or misunderstood. High schools everywhere would do well to incorporate it into their curriculum and heed the solutions offered. Robbins' ode to the cafeteria fringe will have you laughing, cheering, shocked, a little depressed and at times, fuming. Just like high school.

Scott Redding will agree a MotoGP deal for 2014 after this weekend's German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring.
That's the easy part.
Where and what he will be riding is a decision the 20-year-old will agonise over after the Sachsenring clash, with the Moto2 world championship leader certainly not short of offers.
Red-hot rumour after he narrowly failed to claim a third victory...

I don't normally bother joining in all the dull waffle on here droning on and on about seasons from long ago BUT when Casey Stoner swung his leg over the Ducati it was because he had been 'let go' by LCR Honda. He was an angry young man who at that time had absolutely everything to gain and nothing at all to lose. In those circumstances Stoner was perfect, he had a lot to prove and needed a world championship to do so. In Casey's world the bike was almost irrelevant – I reckon he'd have won on the Suzuki or Kawasaki too, his attitude was to prove a huge point to a lot of people in 2007 and he did it.
I reckon it's that sort of rider Ducati need to be looking for in that sort of situation – someone who has got the speed but with nothing at all to lose and a hell of a lot to gain. If someone gets a few good results on the Duke they will be noticed immediately and announced as the second coming. Proven top riders aren't the way at Ducati – well not until the Germans sort it out and get a bike that handles in the desired way. When they do, then of course a proven top rider will be the way forward.

Ducati - Factory team, 2nd tier team mate, 2nd tier bike, wishes of development and direction,
Honda - 2nd tier team, 3rd team team mate, 2nd tier bike, clear development path and route to factory bike
VDS + Yamaha - 1st tier Moto2 team, no experience of MotoGP bike/motor combination, team mate unknown, possibly lone rider with no reference point for data comparison, development path to be defined, 24 litres fuel, limited to 6 engines
VDS + Ducati - 1st tier Moto2 team, no experience of MotoGP bike/motor combination, factory supported non MSMA entry (see MotoGP article), team mate unknown, possibly lone rider with no reference point for data comparison, development through season as ducati throw money and resources to make it work, 24 litres fuel, more engines than are required.
VDS + Honda - 1st tier Moto2 team, no experience of MotoGP bike/motor combination, non MSMA entry and ability to add thier own 24 litres fueltank if desired, team mate unknown, possibly lone rider with no reference point for data comparison, development through season TBC (bike is bought from honda therefore tank.frame etc are there for adpatation?).
On reflection, the VDS + Ducati route could be good, he will gain from the investment from the factory in bike development, tyres, fuel and number of engines available to him and the chance to prove himself before 2015 - if he signs a two year deal with 14 being the learner and 15 being in the factory with the bike he helped sort out...
Poor Ducati,beset by a couple Yanks and a couple Ities,they tried to turn things round by getting shot of the management, now its time to have a clear out of all these been there done nowt or past it riders.

for young Scott, like to see him on the Gresni bike personally, a great prospect for motogp, exciting rider to watch. This season he has really transformed himself from an also ran last season, to a real contender for the Moto2 title.
VDS45...just ignore benny the idiot, that's the best way to deal with children of his age, there is a difference between constructive comments and insulting behaviour...benny seems to have missed that bit while at school.

This is excellent contemporary Blues, combining the best elements of classic electric Blues from the 50s and 60s with modern rhythm sections, recording techniques and hi-gain drenched guitar sounds. Also incorporates modern R&B (D'Angelo) harmony styles. Nice combination of original songs and classic references.

Risk management education offered to pork producers
Volatile agricultural markets, high input costs and rising amounts of capital for farm operation have driven the importance of effective risk management for pork producers.
For these reasons, the Iowa Pork Producers Association is coordinating with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and the Iowa Pork Industry Center to offer regional risk management educational seminars for Iowa pork producers and allied industry representatives.
The regional sessions will be followed by a series of in-depth small group sessions for those interested in additional information about day-to-day swine risk management decisions.
All regional sessions are hosted from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The dates and locations are:
Dec. 6--Northwest Iowa Community College, Highway 18 West, Building C, Room 349, Sheldon;
Dec. 7--The Borlaug Learning Center, ISU Northeast Research Farm, 3327 290th St., Nashua; and
Dec. 8--Johnson County Extension Office, 3109 Old Highway 218 S., Iowa City.
Conference organizers have slated a tremendous lineup of expert speakers to discuss effective risk management in pork production.
John Lawrence, Ph.D., associate dean of the ISU College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and director of Extension ag and natural resources, will open the session by helping attendees understand the magnitude of risk farmers face today.
Chad Hart, Ph.D., ISU assistant professor of economics and Extension grain marketing specialist, will outline the big picture issues impacting feed and livestock prices including value of the dollar, demand for corn and soybean meal, world economy, exports, production levels and more.
Mark Greenwood, vice president of agri-business capital, Ag Star Financial Services, ACA, will outline the most important components of a successful risk management strategy. He will discuss the importance of a competitive cost structure, the mindset it takes to capture opportunities for profit and the critical nature of combining feed cost risk with the lean hog market price.
A local producer with proven success in risk management will explain how to implement risk management based on crush margin, allowing producers to lock in profits while the window is there.
Local ISU swine specialists will close each session by helping attendees apply lessons learned from the day's session, make tools available for implementing change and preface small group sessions for further risk management education opportunities.
Attendees also are encouraged to attend an optional 9 a.m. session at each location to review the basics of hedging, options, insurance and other risk management tools. This session will be hosted by Shane Ellis, ISU Extension livestock marketing specialist.
"Knowing the basics is an important step in risk management implementation," said Dave Stender, ISU Extension swine specialist. "Even if one is hiring an outside firm for risk management strategies, it is important to understand the common tools and strategies used."
The seminars cost $10 for those pre-registered or $15 at the door. Lunch and meeting materials will be guaranteed to those pre-registered. For more information or to pre-register, please contact IPPA at 800-372-7675 or email@example.com.
"Effectively managing risk is increasingly important in today's volatile ag markets," said Leon Sheets, IPPA president. "We hope these conferences can help pork producers and allied industry representatives build on their knowledge, more effectively manage risk, better serve customers and remain profitable."

Missionary-Immigration Lawyers Needed for Michigan and Tennessee
New York, NY, Nov. 21, 2008--The United Methodist mission agency needs two immigration lawyers to provide legal counsel at up to three congregation-based immigration clinics in Michigan and Tennessee.
The clinics are part of Justice for our Neighbors (JFON), a national network that expresses the church's concern for "sojourners in our midst."
More than legal skills are required of JFON attorneys. The legal advisor needs to be counselor, activist, and missionary with a strong Christian faith. He or she would become a Church and Community Worker, a commissioned missionary of The United Methodist Church and its General Board of Global Ministries.
The monthly JFON clinics combine professional and voluntary service in sustainable immigration ministries. They are usually based in congregations that supply the volunteers required.
JFON attorneys often take part in education on immigrant rights and advocacy for both congregations and immigrant communities .
The attorney must have already passed the bar, or pass it in the first year of assignment. Bilingual skills and experience in law school asylum or immigration clinics would be beneficial but are not required .
To apply, go to the gbgm-umc.org website for missionary application. For more information, contact Brenda Connelly, General Board of Global Ministries, 475 Riverside Drive, Room 320, New York, NY 10115; email email@example.com ; or call 212-870-3819 or 828-294-2107.

About Jim Novack
We used to live in San Francisco and for the last 12 years have been living in Madrid, Spain and we purchased our dream vacation home in Samaná to spend our summer vacations with our friends, but would like to make it available for other families that we are sure will enjoy it at other times!

Recycle Wine Corks
March 6, 2009 at 4:48 pm 13 comments
It may seem like a tiny portion of the waste stream, but 340,000 tons of cork are harvested annually. 13 billion (yes, with a 'B') cork wine stoppers are made every year. So rather than throw these little stoppers into the landfill, here are a few helpful tid-bits.
Reduce. Some wine makers are going to screw top lids or plastic corks, which actually work better than their cork counterparts, but these items are not as readily recyclable.
Reuse. If you are feeling froggy, I found a few (very fun looking) DIY projects with corks. Click on the pictures to get to the respective websites.
Recycle. Several services offer cork recycling.
- The EcoSpheric Blog looks at Korks for Kids
- Yemm & Hart recycles corks
- ReCork America
- TerraCycle
- Cork ReHarvest for Willamette Valley Vineyards via Whole Foods. Learn more at stumptown savoury
Update: For information about the future of cork stoppers please read this post by Pays to Live Green.

text: Rep. Gosar Hand-Delivers Request for Benghazi Answers to State Department Print article Send a Tip by Matthew Boyle 12 Sep 2013 post a comment Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, visited the U.S. State Department on Wednesday to deliver a letter seeking the truth about the Benghazi terrorist attack from a year ago and the scandal and cover-up that has ensued since. "I'm a dentist impersonating a congressman," Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) told us jokingly as he hopped into the back trunk hatch area of the small-sized SUV his staffer was driving. Breitbart News, Daily Caller, and National Review reporters were accompanying Gosar and two of his staffers on the ride over to the State Department in Foggy Bottom from the Capitol Hill Club next to the RNC headquarters on Capitol Hill. Gosar walked us through his history at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, and then how he became a dentist and worked for the American Dental Association and served as the president of the Arizona Dental Association; his patients convinced him to run for Congress in 2010 as he was fighting against Obamacare's negative effects on the healthcare--especially dental--industry. Gosar spent the August recess in his district in Arizona. "I'm kind of a homebody," he said. "I like to work out in the yard. I built my own house, and I'm pretty good with the tractor, chainsaws and even small instruments. That's what I kind of like doing." Gosar told us he likes to communicate with as many people as possible and wants to learn from them. "The fun part about this job is engaging people and gaining their expertise," Gosar said. "And rewarding that dialogue with their involvement." Gosar said he and Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID) are the only two dentists in Congress. "We do," Gosar joked when the National Review's Betsy Woodruff asked if they have a "secret dentist handshake." "We've been known to meet up in interior appropriations," Gosar said. "He's good cop, I'm bad cop. He's good dentist, I'm bad dentist. He's an appropriator, I'm fiscally conservative." Gosar said he misses practicing dentistry but feels needed in Congress. "When somebody said 'what's the most important job?'" Gosar said before his own question: "It's actually dentistry. For somebody to allow you to work on their own healthcare, on their wellbeing, I think is a reward unlike any other thing. Politics can't make that difference. It's a very rewarding, very humbling experience." Gosar held several town hall meetings over recess so he could hear from his constituents. "They're outraged by Obamacare," Gosar said of his constituents' concerns. "They're outraged by Benghazi. They're outraged by Fast and Furious. They're outraged by immigration. They're outraged all the way across the board." When we rolled up to the State Department headquarters on 23rd Street in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C., Gosar and the reporters hopped out of the car. One of his staffers joined him to head inside to deliver the Benghazi letter while the other parked the car around the corner. When Gosar hopped back into the back of the SUV and his staffer jumped into the front seat about an hour after he went into the building for the meeting, he said "80 percent of the time" he was there was dealing with heightened security. "I got a pat down," he said. "They're under slow security as everyone is going through because of 9/11 and Benghazi." "They were surprised to see I carry a copy pocket of my Constitution with me," Gosar told us and we hit the road to drive back across D.C. to Capitol Hill. "They were like 'oh.' And I said 'You don't think I carry it?'" The meeting where Gosar dropped the letter off, he said, was "very cordial"; they were "very nice people," he said. "A couple of our questions start with the email traffic for employees," he said. "According to them, they do not use private email addresses. It's prohibited by State Department rules. They have sent some of those answers to [Oversight Committee] Chairman [Rep. Darrell] Issa as well. They offered to us to see the implementation of some of the checks and balances on the ARB [Accountability Review Board] review, and how they could better handle assets in the case of an emergency. They actually invited us back [to the State Department] to see some of the implementation of some of the recommendations of what the Board suggested and how they're implementing those changes." Even so, Gosar said, "They did not have answers as to why the false narrative [came out], who promoted the false narrative." "I was very explicit: The president is involved," Gosar claimed. "Ten days later, at the U.N., he explicitly talks about this narrative by the fraudulent video and we knew that it had nothing to do with anything whatsoever. Email disclosure at the committee has shown that embassy staffs between Cairo and Benghazi and Tripoli were talking about it, and there was nothing about it going 'viral.'" "We should have known better," he explained. "My comment was you know last night and this week, the president sure knows an awful lot about Syria but still doesn't know a lot about Benghazi. I think that's an outrage. Americans should never leave American men and women behind. State Department folks and military attaches are considered like military. Our military is grilled that you never leave anybody behind." "You had over 200 terror plots and activities leading up to Benghazi," he continued. "We were the last flag flying. And yet we had no destroyers, we had no aircraft carriers, we were not even sensing the danger. Yet in Syria, you've seen gas used and 100,000 people massacred by conventional weapons and you have five destroyers and an aircraft carrier. What gives? Something is wrong here in this chain of events." Gosar said "they gave us no answer" when asked who gave then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice "final approval" to "tell the public and the media that the attack in Benghazi was a spontaneous attack stemming from protests about a video." Gosar added that the administration is still withholding testimony from the Benghazi survivors, keeping them from telling Congress what they saw that night. He said the administration has told Issa and other members of Congress that the survivors' testimony is being blocked because "they told us there are some sealed documents for arrests, sealed indictments, and some of these people may be utilized as witnesses" to testify in the future should the administration choose to actually act on the indictments. "I'm not an attorney, but that seems kind of far-fetched," Gosar said, as he and the small delegation in the SUV neared the Capitol Hill Club again. Gosar told us he is using these new tactics to get the focus back on Benghazi because the scandal has not been fully investigated. "The committee was a little bit nervous," Gosar said when asked by Alexis Levinson of The Daily Caller what his colleagues thought of this new tactic. "They've tried to orchestrate everything through the committee. The thing about it is I'm one of these people that if you're not getting anywhere, you've got to change it up. You've got to ask more questions." "And if it means individuals have to start taking this into their hands, and start trying to get different results from different methodologies, you got to," he explained. "I'm results-oriented. I was always a solutions guy. Every day I did solutions."

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla.- "We hate to move, we hate to have to give it up."
Jaime and Pamela Duran said this home in Golden Gate Estates is their little piece of paradise. But they learned last year, they could soon have new neighbors in the form of oil drilling machinery.
"This ordeal started for us in March."
And they've been fighting to keep oil out ever since. The Duran's and hundreds of others are bringing their argument to the Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
"When we got word that they had oil wells coming in so close to homes, that had no fire hydrants and very shallow water tables, it's important to take a stand," said Lisa Prescott, Central Florida Greenpeace Coordinator.
An EPA spokesperson tells WINK News they will review all public comments, as well as a report from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on the impacs an injection well would have on the area.
"I'm concerned for future generations having clean water and that's the resource that living things need, humans, animals, all of the above."
An EPA spokesperson tells me they don't have a deadline to make their decision. It could be anywhere from 60 to 90 days.

Dell revives WinPho handset brand for Win 8.1 fondleslabs
Dell has revamped its tablet line-up, hoping to hook punters in - professionals in particular - with removable batteries, full-size USB ports, quad-core chippery and the revival of an old but apparently popular moniker, Venue Pro. Dell last used Venue Pro back in 2011 for its first and only foray into Windows Phone 7 handsets. …
Sadly the article does not answer the three important questions:
Will the BayTrail version support 4GB and a "full sized" SSD instead of the eMMC most Atoms have now?
Does the 11 inch model come with an inductive digitizer and if yes WACOM or NTrig (Dell has used both)?
Does the 11 inch model come with LTE?
If all three answer yes (and 2b WACOM) this is a serious player with a nice pricing
Much better price
Wow. Dell is going to beat the hell out of MS on price, compared to the Surface Pro. £419 including VAT is much closer to what these things should be priced at. The removable battery is a killer feature.
Maybe someone finally wants to sell some Windows 8 tablets?
Re: Much better price
Starting price so this is (we are talking DELL) the ATOM based unit without LTE and (if there is a choice of batteries) the smallest batterie. Just look at the DELL Latitute 10 and it's pricing system. The data given for the 11'' model obviously includes the i3/i5 model since BayTrail has a memory limit of 4GB so the 8GB model will likely be priced similar to an S/P2
IF DELL does the BayTrail right (option for 4GB, real SSD, MiraCast, Wacom, LTE) at a price below the 4GB/128GB Surface/Pro2 they have a unit that will get nice sales in business (like the Latitude-10 did)
A "toybreed" touch only might get some of the iCrowd since those are conditionend to think "pen = evil" and Win8 might become the new "I am different" system
If their "big versions" come in at a price around(or even slightly above) S/P2s 8GB configurations (and the LTE variant out in early 2014) then you can talk competition since the slightly bigger screen and replaceable battery are bonus points.
It's a shame the handsets didn't succeed.
The world needs a Windows handset with a physical keyboard.
Re: It's a shame the handsets didn't succeed.
Or a WP8 version of the N770 upgraded with WACOM (a WP8 variant of the Note2 would be ok as well). That might get me to buy another smartphone. Without it smartphone era will end for me 31/March/2014. 10-11'' tablet pc and a dumbphone are better IMHO
Venue 8 + a small phone for the once a month when I call someone is sounding like the upgrade from note 2.
4G would have been nice.
Related note
No more Windows RT devices from Dell. "And then there were none."
Not surprising
...since Microsoft put up $2bn as a loan to help Michael Dell buy his company back:
Back scratching and all that. Mind you, I'm a proud owner of both a Windows Phone (HTC 8X) and Surface Pro, so this is all to the good as far as the platforms are concerned.
Re: Not surprising
Actually this is not the first tablet pc from DELL they have been doing that for quite some time now. At least two Atom based units have been done.
Hmmm, I bet this is only being done because now Microsoft is an investor in Dell. Dell needs to repay that $2 billion somehow.
There goes my last, dying hope of a WP device with a physical keyboard. I loved my DVP, until the Mrs knocked it off the kitchen sideboard onto the tiles... :(
If Dell are reviving a brand
How about Axim? I do actually have positive associations with Axim

What Are the Best 529 College-Savings Plans — Dollars and Sense
Earlier this week, the investment ratings firm Morningstar released their annual list of the year's best 529 college-savings plans.
Earlier this week, the investment ratings firm Morningstar released their annual list of the year's best 529 college-savings plans.
The dream of many college graduates—to earn a good-enough starting salary to pay off student loans without being rendered homeless or forced into starvation—comes easier or harder depending on where they graduate.
With that in mind, which American colleges offer the worst possible opportunity for a earning a decent entry-level salary, and which offer the best?
For recent college graduates, the economic downturn and very, very slow recovery of the past few years have been brutal. But things may be looking up.
According to the Job Outlook 2013 survey, employers are on track to hire 13 percent more graduates from the class of 2013 than they did for those who walked away with their degrees in 2012.
People sure do love their iPhones, but they also can't seem to stop dropping them—good news for the booming iPhone-repair business. In fact, a recent accident survey by SquareTrade found that the American population has spent nearly $5.9 billion fixing their damaged phones since the first device hit the market in 2007.
In a world where the portrait of philanthropy is often painted using an upper class model to represent an offering of charity to the less fortunate, sometimes we forget that empathy has a way of digging a little deeper into the pockets of blue jeans than it does a three-piece suit.

I've always been a little crazy for stripesmy collection of striped t-shirts is now tipping into the double digits, which is a testament to how predictable (and honestly, how lazy) I am. But stripes, I feel, are the easiest way to introduce pattern into an outfit: they look clean and classic, and go with everything from bright colors to sparkly stuff to florals. To mix things up this spring, I'm putting 'em on the bottom, and getting a striped skirt. Here are the ones I'm considering:

The Last Guardian Official Trailer
Take a sneak peek at some new footage for The Last Guardian.
The worst trailer ive ever seen in my life
lol I don't even have a PS3 and I was excited for this game
I loved Shadow of Colossus and I think this game is going to be the same. But it's a shame that i can't play it because it's for ps3.
Oh i cant wait anymore
I think gamespot is butthurt about this game not happening.
Man, if this game isn't he greatest thing conceived since the original final fantasy with all it's epic-ness, or at least doesn't make the PS3 self aware, this WILL be the biggest let down since Duke Nukem Forever. If you have no idea how much of a let down that was, just replace this notion with some game you thought was going to be the best thing since sliced bread and then turned out to be the pits.At any rate if this game doesn't score at least a 9 from every review site out there or their equivalent of a 9, then this will have been a huge waste of Sony's time, not to mention a huge waste of cash.Do we even know what the story for this game is yet? I completely forgot about this game way back in 2010.OH! thought of the best comparison. This game is like Half Life 3. It better be awesome if it ever comes out. Yeahhh went there!
This is not the official trailer
This is the official trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHzHoMT5eRg
This game has created so much anticipation, i hope it doesn´t suck when it comes out.
i remember my friend telling me how awesome the ps3 was going to be,and he showed me this game. that was back when they first released the ps3 and this game still isnt out yet!? damn.
OK, what was that exactly?
GOTY right there.
What does suppose to mean??
That's GOTY material right there, folks.
hahaha.....well done, you got me.
waste of bandwidth, 3 megabytes i want back. ya thanks sooo much gamespot
Dear Gamespot, You are all idiots. Signed, Former Fan
i used to really like coming to gamespot, but things like this, kevin vanord and the obvious payed for reviews they give have lost any respect i had for their opinions. i'm glad its just that, an opinion.
What is this joke?
Oh dear
Gotta have it!
Thumbs up if you came from start/select. :)
lame input by Gamespot.
Oh Gamespot you so crazy
Ouch! this has to hurt :P
I wanna thank GS for taking 58 seconds that I'll never get back.
*Sigh* Why am I worried that it will not be as amazing as battling collosus.
@Vari3ty: You might want to ask about it in the GS Live union located on the forums page. Some users enjoy making animated .gifs and if you ask about it, they might make one! :)
i kinda expected more...
Come on guys, it was just a simple joke. No need to be so angry at gamespot just for having fun on April Fools Day.
lol. That was funny.
[This message was deleted at the request of a moderator or administrator]
SIgh... and here I thought thre was some new info... Funny tho.. that the trailer didnt pop up in my feed till apr4ths.....
The only excuse being an April fool.
Pre-ordering right now.
Alright, you got me. I thought this was legit. Totally makes up for my disappointment though. :lol:

HoopsHype Brandon Jennings rumors
Vincent Goodwill: Jennings: "I had that, I didn't care attitude, I was going to get my shots up. Now I'm about the team. There's no confidence there." Twitter @vgoodwill
Pistons GM Joe Dumars made two important moves in the offseason — signing Josh Smith as a free agent and trading for point guard Brandon Jennings. The two players have had minimal impact on the Pistons thus far. "The big problem with those two guys is they're not first-option scorers, but they have a first-option mentality," NBA TV analyst Greg Anthony said. "They make more poor decisions with their shot selection than anything else. It's a domino effect. When your teammates see you taking tough, ill-advised shots, it takes their energy and motivation from them." News-Herald
Asked if Jennings broke a code by knocking a player, Smith said, "There's no loyalty in this game. There's no player-to-player loyalty, no loyalty to teams, no loyalty to anything in this game. I expect there should be that but there isn't." The Knicks put up with all of Smith's off-the-court shenanigans because they feel if properly harnessed, Smith can turn into an All-Star this season. Smith was placed on the All-Star ballot Friday — the first time his name has appeared there. New York Post
Jennings was also outspoken about wanting out of Milwaukee. Coaching and roster changes didn't persuade him to re-sign, either. "I just wanted a new start," Jennings said. "Seeing a bunch of my teammates leave, Monta [Ellis], J.J. [Redick], Mike Dunleavy, everybody, the coaching staff I'd been around for four years, everything was different. I felt like they were going in a different direction and I felt like I had do the same." Yahoo! Sports
"It just opened up my eyes," Jennings told Yahoo Sports of his long wait. "I just realized that I had to get back to focusing on basketball. Basketball had to be the No. 1 priority like it was in high school for me. The first four years in Milwaukee it really wasn't. I got a little fame [with] the 55-point game, getting to the playoffs here and there. I lost focus on what was most important." Yahoo! Sports
Marc J. Spears: Knicks G JR Smith fined $25K for directing hostile and inappropriate language to Pistons G Brandon Jennings via his Twitter account. Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo
Vincent Goodwill: Jennings: "I never had a problem w/JR. I thought we had a cool relationship. I thought he should've tweeted 'my brother is better than you." Twitter @vgoodwill
The New York Knicks guard, who was fined $25,000 by the NBA last year for a racy tweet, had a new problem Thursday after an exchange with Detroit's Brandon Jennings that appeared to include a threat. "I'm always in trouble with Twitter," Smith said before the Knicks played Houston. "I don't know what it is. Trying to shake it." The New York Knicks guard, who was fined $25,000 by the NBA last year for a racy tweet, had a new problem Thursday after an exchange with Detroit's Brandon Jennings that appeared to include a threat. "I'm always in trouble with Twitter," Smith said before the Knicks played Houston. "I don't know what it is. Trying to shake it." NBA.com
But Smith denied any bad intent, saying he and Jennings have played together in the summer and had a good relationship. "There's a way to threaten somebody and that's not the way, to publicly threaten somebody," Smith said. NBA.com
The NBA is investigating the Twitter feud between New York's J.R. Smith and Detroit's Brandon Jennings over the presence of Smith's brother, Chris, on the Knicks' roster, sources close to the process told ESPN.com's Marc Stein. ESPN.com
The teams meet Tuesday in Detroit, but the league office is expected to rule before then whether anything said between the two can be deemed threatening. ESPN.com
Steve Popper: J.R.: it's my little brother I'm going to step up for him, good bad or ugly. Not just to Brandon. It's anybody who says anything about him Twitter @StevePopper
Ian Begley: J.R. Smith added that he and Jennings are friendly and that they've played basketball together in Los Angeles in the offseason. #Knicks Twitter @IanBegley
Scott Cacciola: Also, JR said he was looking for Brandon's phone number. "If anybody can get that to me, I'll take it." Just FYI. Twitter @ScottCacciola
Al Iannazzone: JR Smith said he didn't threaten Brandon Jennings on Twitter. but he said he was frustrated because of what Jennings said about his brother Twitter @Al_Iannazzone
Scott Cacciola: JR Smith said it wasn't a threat. "Threaten? No. There's a way to threaten somebody, and that's not the way to publicly threaten someone." Twitter @ScottCacciola
Chris Herring: Woodson said he doesn't have a policy concerning his players being on social media. "But I might [develop one]. I like that idea." Twitter @HerringWSJ
Ian Begley: On J.R. Smith's tweet to Brandon Jennings, Woodson said, "My whole thing with that is if you're going to tweet, tweet something positive." Twitter @IanBegley

Liberals bet $400M can save horse racing
Industry outside of GTA ignored, local group says
Dave Waddell, The Windsor StarPublished: Saturday, October 12, 2013
"We've proved it can work here."
The plan created by the Horse Racing Industry Transition Panel takes effect this April.
The industry has been in turmoil ever since then finance minister Dwight Duncan announced the province was ending its slots at race tracks program in 2012.
"The government has just put a Band-Aid on the disaster they created," Essex MPP Taras Natyshak (NDP) said.
"The plan is to give almost $400 million to eight tracks. There needs to be more focus than just on the GTA."
Ontario Harness Horse Association general manager Brian Tropea said at best the Liberal government's plan will maintain the status quo for another year for the industry overall.
He said the industry is already half the size it was just two years ago when government reports said between 55,000 and 65,000 people were employed in the sport.
"I'm not sure there's enough money in the plan for the industry to survive," Tropea said.
"Integrating with the OLG gives some hope.
"My fear is there have been a lot of people hanging in thinking something better was coming from the government and now they'll head south or get out.
"I think we're at the tipping point for the sport."
firstname.lastname@example.com or 519-255-5584
Track operators will now split up to $80 million per year, which is just under half of what they received from the cancelled slots at racetracks' program.
However, 90 per cent of the $400 million will go for purses at the standardbred racing alliance tracks of Woodbine, Mohawk, Western Fair, Flamboro Downs, Georgian Downs, Grand River, Hanover and Clinton. The tracks will also get some cash to help with some operating costs on race day.

Dave Borgatti
p: (206) 934 – 4914
Dave's career as a builder started, literally, on the rocks at age 13 while growing up in Cape Cod. He and his dad found a skiff that had washed ashore, rebuilt her, and launched her in the marshes behind Scituate Harbor. Unfortunately, it was a boat that required "a crew" since it proved difficult to row and bail at the same time!
After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in biology and chemistry, Dave started his first turn at the trades with a stint as a commercial diver but the pull of boatbuilding never really left him. So in the early 1980s he took a position with Schooner Creek Boat Works in Portland, OR building custom cold-molded yachts. After building a Bill Garden "Eel" for himself and a trailer he sailed from Florida to Maine. He returned to the Northwest and settled in Seattle vowing to work in a "normal field" (that is, anything besides boatbuilding).
As part of a two man cabinet shop, Dave serviced several designers, he built custom built-ins and trim but realized his technical skills needed some polishing. Dave attended the Wood Technology Center (formerly, Wood Construction Center) in the early 1990s where he found something that was actually better than building one-offs—teaching! He has been a computer applications and woodworking instructor since 1992 and teaches the CORE class offered the first quarter of all three trade areas. In their spare time, Dave and his wife, Wendy, can be found remodeling their 1904 craftsman bungalow in Seattle.
Frank Mestemacher
p: (206) 934 – 2970
Frank has been at the Wood Technology Center (formerly, the Wood Construction Center) carpentry instructor since 1995 and also manages the Carpentry program.
Frank was handed a hammer at a young age. By high school he had drafted plans for the family home, which he helped build before graduating. After serving in the United States Air Force, he returned to school to earn his Associate of Arts degree at Santa Monica Community College and Bachelor of Arts degree and Master of Fine Arts degree from San Jose State University. While attending school and then after graduating, Frank followed a career path that combined his passion for art and his carpenter's expertise where he created sculptures, he designed and built trade show exhibits, he built and remodeled private residences, and he taught art.
Combining his artistic eye and appreciation for the practical, he has constructed buildings in a variety of architectural styles using sustainable practices and materials including straw bale and timber frame structures, "advanced framing" techniques, and using the Passive House energy standard that originated in Europe.
Frank considers himself an "early adopter." He understands change is inevitable in the carpentry trade and welcomes innovations that improve an inhabitant's experience and the structure's sustainability. Naturally curious, Frank seeks unique community-based, real-world projects that both he and his students will find challenging and rewarding as an educational experience. This is what keeps him learning and keeps the carpentry program energized and current. Past student projects include timber frame structures, modular buildings, and light commercial and residential projects. Organizations that have benefited from student carpentry work are Habitat for Humanity, Kubota Gardens, Unity Church, South Whidbey Port District, The Center for Wooden Boats, South Whidbey Fire and Rescue, Hearts and Hammer and individual homeowners.
Frank believes students understand carpentry best by "doing" and experiencing the real-world consequences.
Sam Laher
p: (206) 934 – 4915

He was born and raised in Minnesota and grew up fishing on it's many lakes, rivers, and ponds. After graduating from the state's Art High School he attended the University of Minnesota, however, his real interest was the water, so in 1995 he joined the Coast Guard.
After serving four years as an engineer, Sam got out of the Coast Guard and became a marine mechanic, working on everything from container ships to private yachts. Longing for something more creative, he enrolled in the Marine Carpentry program at Seattle Central College in 2002. After graduating he went straight to work as shipwright apprentice.
As a shipwright Sam has worked in a variety of environments, from small boatyards to large union shipyards. He has owned his own business as well as worked for many old time masters of the trade.

Of course, that claim was quickly debunked and several high profile media outlets and personalities posted appropriate corrections. But not David Frum, who doubled down. As far as we know, none of the news organizations that employ Frum have a problem with him spreading false information to smear a group of Americans. But that's neither here nor there. The point of this post is not that David Frum is dishonest and vindictive. It's that he has, in at least one instance, held a cell phone to his ear while he wears a suit and looks to the left like a cool guy.

Germany, 2004 (MIFF 2004, FedEx International Panorama)
Director: Michael SchorrSchultze Gets the Blues Germany
'a warm-hearted movie with real affection for its eccentric characters' [that] recalls the deadpan drollery and unglamorous working-class characters of Scandinavian directors like Aki Kaurismäki and Bent Hamer [Kitchen Stories, MIFF 2004].' -Variety
Winner of the Special Jury Award for Best Direction at the Venice Film Festiva,l Schultze Gets the Blues is a bittersweet comedy about one man's musical journey from a small German village to the bayous of Louisiana.
Middle-aged Schultze has been laid off from his mining job in a small former East German town. Spending far too much time in the beer hall with his buddies, going fishing and relaxing in the local folk music club, where he belts out a mean polka on his accordion, Schultze's life takes a turn when he hears a jaunty zydeco tune on the radio. Throwing caution to the wind he slams down the bratwurst and takes up cooking jambalaya, and shocks his friends by adopting a new accordion routine'creole style. Things really heat up when he begins savings his euros for a trip to the American Deep South.

A deal-sourcing event, where investors meet potential targets and potential acquirers for their businesses and issuers share best practices with their peers to generate new funding opportunities. Activity in the specialty finance sector continues to grow, and BDCs in particular are raising substantial amounts of capital. With the rise of peer-to-peer lending, money is pouring into unsecured consumer finance space, and new technologies and strategies are being developed to facilitate this deadflow. Increased competition is compressing yields, and encouraging many investors to look at off-the-run asset classes. Regulatory uncertainty is keeping cost of funds high and market participation on edge.
The summit will provide you with opportunity to meet and network with over 150 leading specialty finance companies, private equity firms, hedge funds, wealth management firms, senior lenders and asset managers.

County Coroner Bill Cleavenger and Deputy Coroner Lisa Richards were driving in Plymouth when they heard a call on the radio saying a man was experiencing a heart attack.
The man had been involved in a minor car accident that took place a block and a half from where Cleavenger and Richards were currently located.
The pair arrived at the scene moments later and began to revive the man with an AED.
Emergency responders took over a few minutes later and the man was transported to the Plymouth Hospital.
