World Junior Championship: USA Makes the Quarterfinals
The round-robin segment of the World Junior Championship has come to an end just in time for New Year's celebrations all over the world. Team USA has managed to avoid the fate they had last year–playing in the relegation round, the consolation prize of the WJC–by putting together a 9-3 win over Slovakia on Dec. 31.
A three-goal blitz in the first 10 minutes of the first period by Cole Bardreau, captain Jake McCabe and John Gaudreau led to Slovakian goalie Adam Nagy being chased out of the net in favor of Patrik Romancik. Considering how the game went after the goalie change, Nagy had it easy. Less than three minutes after Romancik got in place, Mike Reilly scored, then Jacob Trouba put up a power play goal. Trouba has produced offense in all four of America's games so far–not bad for a defenseman, not bad at all.
Two more power play goals came in the second period from Gaudreau and Vincent Trocheck, who later scored a full-strength goal at literally the halfway point of the entire game. That made it eight goals from the Red, White and Blue, their full production from their opener against Germany and a great change of pace from a team that was starved for offense against Russia and Canada in identical 2-1 losses. But they weren't done just yet. Alex Galchenyuk added one more power play goal for good measure, capping it at a 9-3 final. With a goal, 71 percent faceoff wins and four shots on goal, though, Bardreau got the team's best player honors.
Near the end of the first period, Shayne Gostisbehere committed possibly the most dunder-headed penalty of all time when he speared a Slovak player in what Jeremy Clarkson of "Top Gear" would refer to as the gentleman's area. Gostisbehere might have been able to get away with it–painful as it must be to get hurt in that area (I can only imagine, obviously)–if there hadn't been a linesman nearby to make the call. Instead of just sitting for two minutes to feel shame, though, Gostisbehere was given a misconduct and sent out early. International games really are called a lot more tightly than North American games. Let's hope he keeps his stick away from people's gentleman's areas in the quarterfinal round.
Still, with this win, America takes the last of the three playoff spots available in Group B. Canada leads the group with 12 points and has earned a bye to the semifinals along with Group A leader Sweden. Russia (eight points) and America (six points) will play in the quarterfinals, Russia against Switzerland and America against the Czech Republic, on Jan. 2.

About Me
Artist, Photographer, and occasional filmmaker based in Hollywood. Just got a digital camera but I still shoot film for part of the shoot. The technology isn't where I'd want it to be before I give it up completely.
Into doing artistic nudes these days for my own creative work. Mostly I try to photograph the model's body as if it were a sculpture, using high contrast lighting to get dramatic effects (I hope). Been thinking of branching out if I can find agreeable models.
Also sometimes looking for actors to be in my experimental films (meaning high on visuals and little or no plot and dialog). My films have been seen around the US and in countries such as Italy, Portugal, and New Zealand.

Sunrise, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Ryan Johansen scored the lone goal of the shootout to lift the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 4-3 win over the Florida Panthers on Thursday.
Johansen skated in slowly on Roberto Luongo and nonchalantly snapped a shot past the Panthers netminder to give the Blue Jackets their 10th straight win in the series.
"I definitely think we stole two points tonight," Johansen said.
Sergei Bobrovsky was stellar in net for Columbus, turning aside 52 shots and making a highlight-reel glove save on Nick Bjugstad in the fourth and final round of the shootout.
Cam Atkinson tallied a goal with an assist, while Nick Foligno and Boone Jenner also scored for the Blue Jackets.
The Panthers tied a franchise record with 55 shots on goal.
Bjugstad notched two goals and an assist and Tomas Fleischmann added a goal with an assist. Luongo made 17 stops in the setback.
"The first period we didn't come out like we wanted to," said Bjugstad. "Everybody kind of bought in there in the final two periods."
After a sluggish first period, Florida made some adjustments and dominated the rest of regulation to erase a three-goal deficit, outshooting its opponent 38-7 over the second and third periods.
Fleischmann got the Panthers on the board with a goal just over two minutes after Columbus went up three, then Bjugstad slipped a backhand under the pads of Bobrovsky to cut the deficit to 3-2 with 14:56 remaining in the second.
Bjugstad then tied the game 2 1/2 minutes later on the power play when he beat Bobrovsky from a tight angle in the corner.
Bobrovsky made a dazzling save on Shawn Thornton early in the third, as he sprawled out to rob the latter off a rebound chance out in front to keep the game tied.
Columbus opened the scoring 1:07 into the contest as Foligno grabbed a loose puck to the left of Luongo, wrapped around the crease and sent a backhander into the net for a 1-0 lead.
The Blue Jackets added another midway through the opening period when Atkinson raced to the puck from his own blue line, skated in on a breakaway and finished by snapping a shot past Luongo.
Florida turned the puck over in its own zone early in the second, Kerby Rychel picked up the puck at the left circle, spun around and threw a shot on net. Luongo made the initial save, but Jenner was there to send the rebound home for a 3-0 lead.
Rychel and Dalton Prout had two helpers for the Blue Jackets ... Florida has
lost two of its last three, while Columbus has won two straight (both against
the Panthers) ... Bobrovsky improved to 7-0-0 in his last seven starts against
Florida. He is now 4-0 on the road against the Panthers.

While you and I are descended from Rev. Aaron Pinson, rather than Lunenburg Aaron Pinson, we've from time to time looked back at Lunenburg AP because of our belief that he was related to our Rev. Aaron Pinson.
I've tracked the people (Cannon, Slaughter, Little etc.) mentioned in the various Rapahannouk deeds (witnesses, grantors, grantees) with Lunenburg AP hoping to find some later connection with him, or an earlier connection back to Thomas Pinson who was listed in various records in Lancaster Co. Va. c 1700=1716. I found nothing compelling.
It's only a theory (if that!), but it is my guess that the Prince William/Fairfax Co (c 1720's-40's) and Lunenburg Aaron were from the same family and migrated from Lancaster Co. on the Northern Neck circa 1720's. Surnames found on Lancaster Co. tithable lists (1700 & 1716) as neighbors of Thomas Pinson, are later found as neighbors of the Pinson's in Fairfax Co. A road was built from Lancaster County to Prince William/Fairfax Co. and was a heavily used path of migration west in the early 1700's.
At least two Thomas Pinson's are named in Prince William/Fairfax Co records. As we know (See Loreita Hayden's writeup in the Pinson Quarterlies), a Thomas Pinson had a mill there on Popes Head Run. A Thomas Pinson was also shown next to Joseph Pinson's (Joseph Pinson believed brother of Rev. A.P.) father in law (Richard Omohundro)on a tax list there. Also, a Joseph Pincent (sic) was a chain carrier on a survey of land for Thomas Pincent (sic) Jr in 1739 Prince William Co.
A Thomas Pinson would reside with Rev. Aaron Pinson's clan during the Rev. war period (named on at least 2 documents), who I believe was a son who predeceased Rev. Aaron, or possibly a nephew (son of Joseph Pinson).
I haven't been able to trace families associated with Lunenburg Aaron Pinson back to Lancaster, but as you know, Lunenburg Aaron named an older son Thomas. Also, several years ago I traced migration paths from Lancaster to Prince William/Fairfax Co and to Lunenburg Aaron's Rappahanouk land site. It looked like a very feasible and natural migration route off the road from Lancaster to Prince William/Fairfax Co.
A really good project for someone living in Virginia, would be to investigate the records of early Lancaster Co. in the archives (I believe the University of Virginia holds these records). Years ago, I located references to Thomas Pinson in early Church records in Lancaster Co., but the actual records are back in Virginia.
I'm glad to see you still so active in researching our Pinsons. For those who are unaware, most of what you now find on commercial databases today (often inaccurately translated) is material found by researcher's years ago (when people actually spent hours reading microfilmed records). Credit is seldom given to those who did the actual work. David was one of a group of researchers who, decades ago, developed most of the information that is now known about our early American Pinson ancestors.

Strip away the pomp and costumes and the One True Holy Roman Catholic Church is an ongoing criminal enterprise.
It remains to be seen if the new broom sweeps out the old Curia.
Ever since Constantine hijacked the church, the Catholics have been criminals and con-men preying on people's fears and making a mockery of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
It goes back even farther, to Helena of Drepanum.
Well enough to strip away the positions where the Church deviates from now popular beliefs and behaviours, but to re-engage past church members and to attract new ones requires something more. Some initiatives that could reduce the disparities between the "haves" and the "have nots", the powerful and the powerless, the health and lifespan of those with access to medicines, doctors and hospitals and those without are necessary to make participation in Catholicism attractive again.
Let's hope that Frances can make this sequential step
The actual problems faced by Francis are somewhat different to those posited in the article. Firstly, most people are always going to be superstitious - the nature of the superstition is dependent on time and place, but the predisposition is constant. Cults/sects/shamans etc. have always exploited this and always will. But when the dogma of any particular cult departs too significantly from the realities of everyday life, that cult is doomed to fade away.
Secondly, the more educated and informed a population, the less likely it is to succumb to mass-market superstition. People may remain "spiritual" or "religious" in a general sense but they are unlikely to repress their own ideas in favor of those promulgated by any particular sect.
All this means, of course, that any large organized cult is going to have its most devoted followers among the uneducated, unintelligent, and uninformed. Unless the developed nations stumble backwards into a new Dark Ages, the reality for the Catholic Church is that its principal devotees will indeed be found in the less affluent and cosmopolitan countries. A sensible strategy would be to accept this, just as cigarette companies have done, and understand that the home market is no longer viable. By focusing on maximum penetration and exploitation of the less-developed countries, the Catholic Church can sustain itself for at least another fifty years - legacy enough for the current CEO/Pope.
I think you may have overlooked this passage:
"A fear sometimes voiced privately in the Vatican is that Catholicism risks one day becoming a religion largely for Africans and Asians, confined elsewhere to a self-consciously reactionary fringe."
This is a strange take. Western civilization is in large measure a product of the Catholic Church. It is precisely the Church that dragged the ruins of Rome's decadent empire out of the dark ages. It may be true that "the more educated and informed a population, the less likely it is to succumb to mass-market superstition." That's certainly not been the case throughout the ages with the rational and aesthetic phenomenon that is Catholicism.
I believe the Renaissance, the Protestant Reformation and the Age of Enlightenment also played a role (usually counter to the RC Church) in the development of Western civilization.
The Renaissance was by Catholics. You're right about the so-called Reformation and the so-called Enlightenment. Sorry, couldn't resist ... you're right, of course: they're huge rivers that have flowed into our culture.
Many wish Francis well, but he is Pope of a church that celebrates ritualized cannibalism, believes in the resurrection of the dead, pretends that 3 is 1 and 1 is three, and functionally practices polytheism. To make matters even more difficult, the Roman Catholic church has largely ignored the inclusive teachings of Jesus, in favor of pervasive and doctrinaire negativism. How anyone can truly "reform" such an organization and enterprise without a real "miracle," is difficult to fathom.
Bravo and well said. However, I would remove the word "largely" from your post.
"I like your Christ. Christians, not so much. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." - M. Gandhi
Ha! This is a joke, right? You've actually studied philosophy and understand that there's a difference between "person" and "nature" and "3 persons" is not the same as "one nature"! "Functionally practices polytheism!" Love how you theoretically posit seriousness!
I fear for this pope's safety and well-being. The Catholic Church arguably being the most evil and oppressive institution in the history of mankind, its entrenched powers won't take kindly to his attempts at reform. The more he persists in his efforts, the greater the danger to his person.
"In every country and every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty." - Thomas Jefferson
"The Catholic Church is one of the pillars of the Third Reich." - Adolf Hitler, in a 1933 national proclamation
And Adolf was a guy who always told it like it is. Right on!
What a tool. 1933 was mere four years before the Vatican smuggled the encyclical 'Mit brennender Sorge' into the Catholic churches in Germany to be read aloud.
If you have to google what 'Mit brennender Sorge' is, you clearly do not know enough to declare that "The Catholic Church arguably being the most evil and oppressive institution in the history of mankind".
"It is necessary for salvation for every human creature to be subject to the Roman pontiff." - Pope Boniface VII
Touched a nerve, eh? I stand by my comment, though I should not have inserted the word "arguably."
Too bad for you that the Church no longer has the wherewithal to launch Crusades and Inquisitions to kill those who don't concede the superiority of Catholicism or allow themselves to be subjugated for the glory of the Church. As of 1945, that has become less likely to happen (though priests still have little boys available to them).
"I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so." - Adolf Hitler, in a letter to Gen. Gerhard Engel, 1941.
On the contrary, it looks like I touched a nerve of yours - as your googling of 'Mit brennender Sorge' seems to have linked you up to a history of anti-Nazi resistance by the Roman Catholic Church. Hence your refusal to discuss the matter and just move off the vector altogether.
The Church is guilty of many things, but not of abetting the Nazis, as many liberal know-nothings claim these days.
The Catholic Church is a powerful multinational organisation.
Notwithstanding its failings at certain points of history it has also been a great force for good in education, healthcare, affordable care of the ageing among other areas.
Those baptised as Catholics should consider the consequences of allowing he Church to fade away. A vacuum, including a spiritual one, is contrary to the laws of nature. Its place will be taken by other belief systems who receive aggressive financial support.
Will it be Islam or Buddhism or ?
Most are 'Christian' in name only, who do NOT follow or practise the true teachings of Christ. Pope Francis can only do so much.
"I like your Christ. Christians, not so much. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." - M. Gandhi
Too often, yes!
Spot on!
A lot of good points in the article. Here are a few observations.
Francis' views on capitalism are completely in line with those of his predecessors, going back to Leo XIII. His is no rant, and it's not new: he just wants decision makers at all levels first not to be selfish and, second, to always consider how to improve the lot of the human family. He has recently said that many people are indeed being lifted out of poverty. But it's not happening as fast as it could. And growing incomes are side by side with growing inequalities.
His criticism of politicians and wealth-accumulators applies as much to the US as to Argentina. A strategy of those who are offended by his words is to explain them away by saying that he's talking about Buenos Aires. They offer no basis for this claim aside from his having grown up there.
The author of the article writes a great deal about Catholic lay opinion. But the Catholic church is not like a club whose members decide the rules. In the Church, if you do not agree with the rules, you are automatically no longer a Catholic. The reason, in a nutshell, is that truth is true whether you like it or not; it is not up for a vote.
The article is unbalanced also in quoting Hans Küng, who is barely a Catholic, and other liberal opinion, without quoting a single traditionalist.
I am sorry but you are wrong. Being a Catholic is a charisma of baptism into the Church, a sacrament, that cannot be removed because you may be in disagreement with aspects of doctrine and tradition. It is for God to judge where you are in relation to your sacred calling. It is the Church' s task to serve all its members faithfully, helping them on the path to redemption.
Quoting Kung is wholly legitimate, even if you do not agree with him, because he is one of the most perceptive observers of the Church.

Quoting Kung is wholly legitimate, even if you do not agree with him, because he is one of the most perceptive observers of the Church.
Small detail: Francis does have a 1984 Renault given to him by a besotted Italian priest and parish. He has been known to drive this antique for pleasure. When he wants to get someplace, however, he drives--or is driven in--a late-model Ford Focus. Still, that he should use a common person's car and frequently drives it himself should be enough of a contrast with popes past.
The answer is very simple but absolutely profound: FAITH. Francisco shall prevail and we will always be grateful for making a better church for all of us. This is something new for a lot of catholics: he has renewed our faith in the Roman Church and this is far more powerful than Francisco himself. Nothing is just about him, everything is about us: all human beings no matter their religion, race or personal decisions, we shall all stand together and create a better and just world. This is Francisco message. Don't you get it? The change is in front of your nose!
Form versus substance. The benign smile. The soothing words. The simple life style. Pope Francis is putting accommodating face on the RC Church. Whether he is reaching out and trying to understand the views of others, or simply putting a more attractive facade on the institution remains to be seen.
I hate reductionist thinking, specially when reading comments on the Church from "informed" people.
"But it is not yet clear just how far Francis is prepared to go to adapt church teaching to modern life. "
"Be not conformed to this world." Romans12:12
Francis has the impossible task of preserving the magisterium intact while cleansing the Church of those things that are depraved, arrogant and unmerciful.
The Church's attitude toward sex -- really, its obsession with sex -- bothers many of us. This bother goes far beyond the current abuse scandal to include its unChristian anger toward gays and its lofty condescension toward women. Francis seems to wish to be more charitable and less judgmental in these areas of teaching and one must wish him well.
The last thing, however, many of us who are Catholic wish for is to end up in a church that like today's PCUSA or UCC is nothing more than The Church of What's Happening Now." The Catholic Church's Holier Than Thou attitude is obnoxious. The Protestant Mainline Trendier Than Thou theology is contemptible.
A few years ago a diminutive eighth-grader of mine stood silently in front of the state capitol holding a sign that said "Choose Life" on the anniversary of Roe. She was terrified as adults screamed obscenities at her and her classmates. But, she continued to witness. The last thing this youngster needs is a "modern" pope pissing down the back of her legs.
Jesus encouraged his followers by telling them that they are blessed when men curse and revile them for His sake. But . . . he also warned that cursed were those when men praised them and said all manner of good things about them, for so their fathers did with the false prophets. Being a popular pope (as Francis is at the moment) is not a worthy objective.
TE is sort of dismissive about the RC Church becoming relegated to Africa, South American and Asia -- a mere fourth-fifths of the human race. This seems, to me at least, a sign of spiritual health in the Church.
As for Francis' economics, I mentioned months ago in a post that Peronism seemed to be at the heart of his understanding of wealth and poverty. As a prophetic voice calling for generous and supportive behavior of the less fortunate he is following in the footsteps of his Master. But, I wouldn't want him managing my portfolio. He is inspiring -- but not learned in matters economic.
So far, so good. Francis has at least begun to pop some ecclesiastical mollusks out of their shells. He has subdued the nasty and unChristian anger toward gays. He has renewed the call for service toward those who suffer. But, let us hope he has the strength of character to resist the call to appear a second time on the cover of "Rolling Stone." The Church will, and should, always be unpopular because of its prophetic role. It calls men and women to service and humility and it champions life. It, almost alone, resists the utilitarian tide of killing that prompts abortion and, now, euthanasia. It, almost alone, champions the traditional family as modeled on the Holy Family. Unlike the long-ago sold-out Protestant denominations, it, almost alone, resists becoming just the staff padre for one or another political party.
Two further quotations:
"The Church changes in order that it remain the same." -- Cardinal Newman.
"The significance of the French Revolution? Too early to tell." -- Chou En-Lai
'A few years ago a diminutive eighth-grader of mine stood silently in front of the state capitol holding a sign that said "Choose Life" on the anniversary of Roe. She was terrified as adults screamed obscenities at her and her classmates. But, she continued to witness.'
An 8th grader? In other words, a 14 year-old?
I still remember vividly the humiliation I, then aged 14, felt as I responded when an adult, referring to the sticker on my lapel which said 'Jesus is Alive Today', asked how I knew, with the formulaic 'He lives within my heart'.
Parading children on such occasions is just another form of child abuse.
The problem of unwanted pregnancy (specially in the USA) is the lack of sex EDUCATION.
Hard to believe that in the in the USA in the YEAR 2014 most MEN AND WOMEN don't know how to avoid pregnancy....
Article is laughable for the informed and lacks thorough understanding of the Catholic Church.
This is the best article I have read about Francis so far. I have yet to make up my mind as to if he is naive or purposely letting people take their own meaning from his words and gestures. Thanks for an informative and unbiased look at him.
Thank you. Much appreciated.

Whose false expectations? The Economist's? Pope Francis is a great man.
Perhaps he should invest the Vatican's riches in hedge funds like The Church of England to get the Economist's seal of approval. The Market is The Economist's God. Stick to that.
I find very interesting to see how some source of information are redundant on remarks about Clerical sex-abuse scandals, and zero remarks about rabbis pedophiles. It feels like this problem to be limited only and exclusively by The Roman Church. It's very clear too see the agenda of propaganda like this it to weaken the religion, an open attack by the Zionist media that follows its old and known interest.
At least, Catholicism isn't part of the Zionist culture that awards movies directors whom are world known pedophiles, like Woody Allen.
Regarding to the new pope, I have got very surprised and enthusiastic about how he has started his work. I have a great feeling about him, the same great feeling I had about John Paul II.
Pope Francis should be cautious about being eulogized as the new messiah just the way Barack Obama was portrayed in 2008.He should be aware particularly that many of those who are holding him up as a great Pope are simultaneously denigrating and disparaging Christianity in the name of reform.They have a social agenda of their own when they want to reform the church.

Almost a solid month of flags and face paint and singing the national anthem, and it all disappears as soon as things go sour. Dang. At half time, many of the Brazilian fans left.

From Stephens Media's Washington bureau:
U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., will formally launch his re-election campaign in Little Rock on March 16 with a fundraiser featuring former President Bill Clinton.
Clinton, a former governor and Arkansas native, will headline the March 16 event.
"We are going to do the Statehouse Convention Center and we're hoping to have a big crowd – standing room only," Pryor said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
Additional events for the Clinton have not been discussed, Pryor said.
Pryor is expected to be a target for a GOP pick-up in 2014, according to many political observers. The state's Congressional delegation has reversed from 5-to-1 in the Democrats' favor to 5-to-1 in the Republican's camp in the last two election cycles.
Pryor is the lone Democrat among the state's federal officeholders.
Lt. Gov. Mark Darr (R) and Fourth District Cong. Tom Cotton (R) have been mentioned as potential challengers to Pryor.

Ross Detwiler lands on DL; Nationals call up Xavier Cedeno
May 26, 2013, 8:30 PM EST
Nationals starter Ross Detwiler has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right oblique, reports Adam Kilgore. The lefty missed his previous scheduled start on May 20 against the Giants and was replaced by Zach Duke. Thanks to an off-day on the 23rd, the Nationals were able to bump everyone else up one start, but were looking to get another spot start on Tuesday. As a result, they DL'ed Detwiler retroactive to May 16 and promoted 26-year-old Xavier Cedeno.
Cedeno, a lefty, was picked up off waivers by the Nationals from the Houston Astros on April 23. In five games out of the bullpen with the Astros, Cedeno allowed 11 runs (eight earned) on ten hits and seven walks while striking out three in 6.1 innings of work. With Triple-A Syracuse, the Nationals' affiliate, Cedeno posted a 1.74 ERA in 10.1 innings with 14 strikeouts and three walks.
As for Detwiler, his injury is unfortunate for the Nationals as they were enjoying his hot start to the season. He had a 2.76 ERA through eight starts.

Sedins may sign year-to-year past next season
Nov 21, 2012, 1:30 PM EST
While the NHLPA fights for the players' right to sign a contract longer than five years, Canucks forward Daniel Sedin admits that he and his twin brother, Henrik, may commit one year at a time once their current deal runs out at the end of the 2013-14 season.
"We're already taking it year by year right now," Daniel said this week, as per The Province. "We have a year and a half on this current contract and then mentally I think it will be easier if we go year by year after that.
"Mentally, when you get to this age, to be able to perform, you have to be there. I really believe if you sign a long term deal it will be tougher to perform on a nightly basis."
The Sedins turned 32 in September. In 2011-12, the top eight scorers in the NHL were all under 30.
For Vancouver, the Sedins on year-to-year deals would probably be a good thing. As long as the Canucks are Stanley Cup contenders, the twins will almost certainly want to stay with the organization that drafted them and in the community in which they've become so involved. It's hard to picture a scenario where the amount of annual salary comes between the two sides.
If on the other hand Vancouver falls out of contention, the club may not want to dedicate a significant amount of cap space to a couple of aging stars that, in turn, may wish to pursue their Cup dreams with a team that could actually make those dreams come true.
One thing's for certain: the Canucks' current core doesn't have many seasons left to win the franchise's first championship.
As it stands, Vancouver doesn't have a single major contributor under 26 years old – not surprising given the club's regular-season success that's negated its ability to stock up on elite prospects at the draft.
In fact, the Canucks haven't had a draft pick from 1-9 since they selected the Sedins No. 2 and No. 3 in 1999.

Excellent Stylus for the iPad,
This review is from: Just-Mobile AluPen, Silver-AP-818 (Electronics)
After testing numerous other products of this type, I decided to buy the Just Mobile AluPen. I got it mainly to create artwork on the iPad using various art apps. I've used it with ArtRage, InspirePro, and Procreate (all of these, by the way, are very good art apps). The AluPen does a terrific job, and it has become a regular part of my iPad experience. I've used the AluPen for over four months, creating several paintings and line drawings with it. On occasion, I've also used it for "handwriting" and in place of my finger when entering data in online forms. It does a fine job in all these situations.
Below is my assessment of the AluPen.
The AluPen has a solid feel, and offers a good grip. The body of the stylus is composed of smooth metal, with angled surfaces. The whole thing sort of resembles a fat pencil. The tip is rubberized and soft enough to respond to your gestures when you use it on the iPad surface. The tip material is durable, and it's connected securely to the metal body. After using the AluPen extensively for four months, it continues to look new -- no scratches on the metal surface and no damage to the tip.
I've used the AluPen for long sessions, creating detailed artwork and drawings. I've never felt fatigue while using it. The AluPpen is heavier than other styluses. At first, this might seem like a bad thing. But the extra weight actually makes it more comfortable to hold and use, without being too heavy. By contrast, some other styluses I tested actually felt too light.
The angled surface makes the AluPen easy to grip. However, it's definitely fatter than other styluses. I wondered whether it might be a bit large for people with small hands. I thought the best way to test this was to let my three-year-old daughter use the AluPen to create some paintings in an art app. Very quickly, she began holding it properly, picking colors, and drawing various lines and shapes. Even better, she started to enjoy creating art on the iPad. Whenever she sees the stylus, she requests that I let her "paint on the iPad"!
Although the AluPen gives the impression of being larger (fatter) than other styluses, and even though the tip seems bigger, it's actually more accurate than other models I tested. I'm able to draw very thin lines or mix colors very accurately with the AluPen. When doing continuous color mixing or brush strokes, the AluPen never "skips" a spot. It requires minimal pressure to register your gesture on the iPad screen. With the right art app, the AluPen provides a very realistic art experience.
The packaging of the AluPen conveys a sense of style. Everything is well thought out. It gives the impression of an object you would use to create art.
The AluPen also comes with a soft leather-like case for the stylus. It's more like a glove, as the stylus fits inside snugly -- just big enough to protect the pen without taking up more space than necessary. I often stick the AluPen inside the glove, then put it into a pen pocket in my laptop case. The glove matches the overall style of the pen and is quite durable. I've used it regularly for over four months, and the stitching remains strong.
If you're looking for a comfortable, accurate, and well-made stylus, I strongly recommend the AluPen.

Bookshelf With Home Theater: Love It Or Leave It?
by Tech 31 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Our friends from Apartment Therapy will be the first people to remind us that not everyone has room for an enormous 100-inch plasma in their living room. In fact, almost anyone living in a small apartment can probably vouch for the fact that it's hard to create a great entertainment center in a small space. That's why I happen to love the Livit Bookshelf with a built-in screen. You can hide the screen when you're not using it, store plenty of books on the shelves and keep your living space clean and uncluttered. This model is 170 centimeters, or 66.9 inches wide, which I'll admit is far from a drool-worthy home entertainment system, but I like the idea overall. Would you use something like this?
