I tried this in the companion forum, I don't think they are very active, so I'm asking here. I read up and didn't find anything saying they couldn't be planted together, now I have them in the soil together and I'm finding all kinds of things about they don't do well.
I'm going to pluck all the blooms of the strawberries until June 1st, 2 months is surely enough time to allow to start producing fruit for first year, so by then the bunching onions will be done. The garlic won't be, I don't think so anyways, but I can transplant then. I don't think I can find all those roots again to dig them out, nor the strawberry plants, but nothing's impossible. Can I leave them or is it completely detrimental? |

I had my garlic next to strawberries last year and both did exceptionally well. |

Only half the sites say it, and I only found it after I started planting. I think the onions will chase the bugs away and still make better strawberries, so I won't worry. Thanks for the reply. I don't have to go scavenging to pull anything out. Thanks again. |

I planted onions next to my strawberries and the onions seem to be doing well. Not so sure about the strawberries, but last year was their first year and the plants were very small at the time. This year they look much more robust, so we'll see how they do. |
- Posted by scarletdaisies 6 (My Page) on Fri, Mar 23, 12 at 15:53
I think they'll be fine. Sounds like everyone has had good results. I appreciate it, I would hate to have killed them even before they have their first sprout. I know onions can't grow next to peas, but wasn't sure of strawberries. |

Depends on who's arguing.not being able to see the arguably best shows on TV is a major negative.
Is there any guarantee that ANY of them will return for a fifth? No.On another note, if I was DirectTV I'd really be planting the ads out there showing these shows and their awards and saying want to watch the Best Drama on TV for 4 years in a row? You can't see it in Dish, etc etc

Apple's Jobs: 'You don't want your phone to be like a PC'
Apple CEO Steve Jobs says consumers can expect more mobile applications for the iPhone by the time the device ships in June—but that Apple will control what applications make it onto the iPhone, much like it has done with every iPod.
"We define everything that is on the phone," Jobs told the New York Times. "You don't want your phone to be like a PC. The last thing you want is to have loaded three apps on your phone and then you go to make a call and it doesn't work anymore. These are more like iPods than they are like computers." Jobs told Newsweek something similar. "You don't want your phone to be an open platform," he said. "You need it to work when you need it to work. Cingular doesn't want to see their West Coast network go down because some application messed up."
"These are devices that need to work, and you can't do that if you load any software on them," Jobs continued. "That doesn't mean there's not going to be software to buy that you can load on them coming from us. It doesn't mean we have to write it all, but it means it has to be more of a controlled environment."
During the unveiling of the iPhone, which runs a scaled down version of Mac OS X, Jobs showed off applications for email, web browsing, photos, SMS text messaging, and Google Maps, as well as widgets for weather and stocks. Other icons on the iPhone prototype include Calendar, Camera, Calculator, Notes, Clock, and Settings.

I think the reason for Apple not allowing third party software on the iPhone is for the good the consumer. Apple wants the iPhone to have the same reputation as the rest of it's line: an easy to use, good quality product. If not allowing third party apps to run rampant on the iPhone's OS will protect the user's investment (and Apple's product and reputation as a whole), then so be it. They created it, so they really have every right to. I'd rather have my use of the iPhone be slightly restricted than to be pissed when my $500 or $600 investment doesn't work properly. With that being said, I won't be buying one. The pending fact that the iPhone won't have voice dialing is completely unforgiveable. My smartphone with T-Mobile is working out well. Switching to Cingular is out of the question. But the iPhone is a mighty fine device that will remain on my "Must Have or I'll Just Die" list for years to come!

1) Web Apps
2) Widget Apps
Anything beyond what those will serve is very niche based.
The web apps are what the focus will be with widget frontends.

I think Jobs just wants to keep the iPhone still very much like an iPod but with several more capabilities. And currently our wonderfully loved iPods are simple, easy to use, and enjoy-and they would not be that way if they were like our PC's, or a Palm Pilot, where really things do run more complicated and not as smooth as the easy going, wonderful iPod. I think it makes a lot of sense, and the only way to keep the iPhone as easy to use, and enjoyable as the simple yet talented iPod, would be by not making the iPhone like your PC.
Posted by Jonathan on January 11, 2007 at 9:36 PM (CST)
Jobs' mind trick doesn't work on me. Apple needs to provide a safe environment for 3rd party apps to run where they won't interfere with calls, etc. Not completely cripple the machine.
Posted by TM on January 11, 2007 at 9:45 PM (CST)
As Jobs stated in keynote "when you are serious about software you make the hardware". True, that's why Apple products have always worked so well. But you used to have very little choice when it came to Apple hardware. And for a very long time 80's until 2000 Apple only had 1/8 market share, and they had a superior product. Lets suppose PCs never existed. Apple had 100% computer sales they would have never sold a third of the computers the PCs was responsible for selling. Jobs already said he only wanted a 1% share of cell phones I believe him he has always been elitist that way, he doesn't want to sell to masses just rich dumbasses And yes being able to put any software is the only way I could justify $600.00 I would at very least want realVNC client remember this is supposed to run over WIFI so adding third party software should be allowed over wifi at very least.

I don't want my phone to be like a PC. I want my phone to be like a Mac.
And I can load software on a Mac.
This is a deal-breaker for me. My Windows Mobile phone might be a little unstable, but it lets me load up the tools I need.
I really want an iPhone, but I'm not going to carry 2 devices just because Steve Jobs has an ego problem. I'll keep using my Windows phone, since it does what I need, and I can pretty much 100% guarantee the iPhone won't.

How great would Macs be without 3rd party software?
Sure mum and gran might not want to install other apps, but a huge percentage of users will want to, and they're cutting out a huge percentage of potential users.

Posted by Tim Bromhead on January 11, 2007 at 10:00 PM (CST)
People keep saying that Apple's success comes from tight control of the platform.
That's true for the iPod, but it's not true for OS X. Many people have loads of third-party applications installed on their Macs—and yet, the platform is successful.
Those apps aren't going to be on the iPhone, and that's a shame.
Posted by Matt on January 11, 2007 at 11:02 PM (CST)
Seems to me this product is being marketed as a phone that happens to run using OSX - not a "Pocket Mac". As much as I love my Treo, I've always viewed it and Windows Mobile/Pocket PC devices as an OS platform with a phone built-in. We try to use these things like miniature computers, then we're angry when they don't live up to such an expectation. Microsoft, Palm, etc. promote that expectation. Apple was wise not just shove a telephone radio into a Newton!
As a long-time Apple fanatic, I love the idea of running certain 3rd party applications on a device that fits in my pocket. If Apple ever creates one, I'll buy it . For now, my Macbook Pro will suffice. I look forward to having an easy to use phone, with internet access, real ipod features and beautiful design that won't accidentally press buttons while I'm talking on it or wearing it. "iPHONE - that's what the guy is selling, isn't it?"

Jobs followed up by waving his hand and commenting that these weren't the droids you were looking for.

I don't want my iPhone to be like a computer. I want it to do the things it is advertised to do such as: make and receive phone calls, the internet, get email, text message, listen to iTunes music, play video, and do it in a great way, anything else Apple decides to throw in there is great. My problem with other smart phones is the fact that they try to do more than they are good at. Yeah, you could make all kinds of great third party apps…... but 99% of the time those third party apps suck and then I'm stuck with an app that sucks and out anywhere from 10 - 40 bucks for that app. No thank you, to most third party apps. Let's face it smart phones are NOT computers, right off the bat they lack the proper display to be effective as a computer. Let us let smart phones do what they are great at and not try to make them something they clearly are not. As far as Apple and the iPhone are concerned I think they are giving the vast majority of users the kind of phone they want. I think when you say it is a niche product you are wrong. The niche product is all other smart phones that cater to the geeks of the world. The average person is going to love the hell out of this phone.

if you remember a while ago everyone said the same things about the ipod when it came out and how it was, bad because it didn't have a AM/FM radio in it. Look at the ipod now…..... hmmmmm…..... reality Check…...... most people don't want a phone that is a computer and operates like one. The numbers say it all, only a very small fraction of users, use smart phones. Most users have regular phones and are quite happy when xyz company adds a card game to the phone to enhance it. You guys are looking at this phone the wrong way if you want a smart phone that is a pocket computer than you don't want this phone. If you want a phone that has 99.9% of what you can do with a smart phone plus the fact that everything works great together and you don't want to have to worry about settings and all the other things that make other smart phones difficult, than this is for you. I can sum up the iPhone the same way I can sum up the Mac & iPod, it will just work. The argument will always be the same for an Apple product, it gets out of your way and lets you get done what you need to get done, without throwing things in your face that you really don't care to deal with and just distract you from being productive.
Posted by dozx on January 12, 2007 at 12:10 AM (CST)
Sucks… if I can't load 3rd party apps I CAN'T get the phone because I use 3rd party apps on a daily basis… and these aren't phone utils or stuff like that these are medicine programs I need to do my work on a daily basis. I have over 400mb of programs and I use each and every bit of it.
BTW I don't get what is wrong with the treo… Mine hardly ever crashes… hasn't crashed in weeks. Y'all should fix the sync stuff.

The reason why many Treo and Windows PPC, mobile users need 3rd party software is because the software built into the current OS's aren't satisfactory to many users standards.
Apple's response to an open platform is saying this without saying it. They know how to create software. They will also impliment 3rd party software, (read the newsweek article) but it will have to be tested by Apple before it's released.
I think many consumers are failing to realize that Apple wants our feedback before it hits the market.
Tell me which manufacturer announces a phone 6 months before hand with a full 1 1/2 hour demo and hands on reviews afterwards?
Personally I think if more companies took the time to listen to users, that the large market for 3rd party mobile phone software and issues of the overall performance of the phone would decrease.

"The reason why many Treo and Windows PPC, mobile users need 3rd party software is because the software built into the current OS's aren't satisfactory to many users standards. "
Really? Most of the software I use is medical software that would not be included anyway. The only software I've replaced on my treo is IE with Opera. Will Apple create this software for me and allow me to pay them to use it as well? Not allowing 3rd party software because the user is too "stupid" to not break the phone is retarded.
Posted by Victor on January 12, 2007 at 7:17 AM (CST)
Hey Victor, since you really need your medical app on your phone, here's an idea: keep using your Treo. Meanwhile I and many others will be enjoying our iPhones. Jeesh! what a load of b_tching.

Without being able to install apps of my choosing, the iPhone just dropped from an "oh-my-gawd-I-cant-wait" gadget to a "wait-and-see-if-they-stop-being-idiots" gadget. Put the brakes on, big time, for me personally.

The start of a new year is a time for reflecting back on the previous year as well as a time for looking forward. New Year's Resolutions are common at this time. There's even a Wikipedia page about them, so they're a big deal. According to that page, "Recent research shows that while 52% of participants in a resolution study were confident of success with their goals, only 12% actually achieved their goals," so it seems that resolutions have a lot in common with the Toronto Maple Leafs and their fans.
But resolutions are often hard to come up with, so we've decided to list a few suggestions for hockey fans. We're going to try and follow these resolutions ourselves as well, but we can't see ourselves falling into that 12%. Change is difficult.
Cheer more when your team wins than when a rival loses
Sure, scoreboard watching is exciting, especially as the playoffs approach. However, it seems that these days many fans would rather watch a hated rival fall in a blowout than see their own team succeed. Yes, when the captain of an enemy franchise hasn't scored in several games, it's funny, but thinking positive and celebrating your own franchise's success is even more fun.
Watch more games from "non-marquee teams"
Just because NBC and Versus won't touch teams like the St. Louis Blues or Atlanta Thrashers with a ten-foot pole, it doesn't mean their games aren't interesting. You just may find that some unknown players are incredibly entertaining and that there's some great talent outside of the NHL's major markets. As an added bonus, watching these teams will help alleviate the "Crosby/Ovechkin burnout" that is common among the league's fans.
Use fewer Leafs jokes as humour's "get out of jail free" cards
We're especially guilty of this one. Whenever a quick joke is needed, it's easy to pick on the Maple Leafs. Just look at our opening paragraph. In 2011, vow to use fewer 1967 or draft pick jokes for easy laughs. Sure, everyone gets a chuckle out of the "Toronto Make Me Laughs," but aim for a higher level of humour in the coming year.
Be more forgiving of the referees
In just about every game there's a moment when you think the referees are out to screw your team. It's understandable. After all, it's only human nature to magnify the errors that are made against your team and ignore those that benefit you. But, the next time a referee calls a cheap hooking penalty in overtime against your favourite player, think about how that same ref also ignored a slashing call in the first and try to forgive. You'll feel better about yourself and maybe even avoid a serious stress attack.
What are your hockey New Year's Resolutions?

iWatch Prototypes Could Be Ready, Apple Hires Fitness Physiologists For Tests
samzenpus posted about a year ago | from the here-it-comes dept.
100SmartAboutThings writes "Recently, Apple has been on a hiring spree, allegedly adding to its 100+ team of members of the iWatch team a sleep expert, a former expert in pulse oximetry and many others. Now, according to a recent job listing on Apple's own website, it seems that Cupertino is looking for physiologists for fitness and energy tests. In my opinion, this can only mean that the iWatch is nearing its final stage and that experts are required to assess how it fares."

Monday Morning Memo: Customer Profiles
By Roy H. Williams (go to MondayMorningMemo.com to listen to this memo.)
I've never seen a business fail due to reaching the wrong people. But if you listen to advertising sales reps, "reaching the right people" will solve all your problems.
And guess who has exactly the right people for you?
Catching Up: Seminars, Superbowl and Awards
I'm excited about a couple of seminars approaching in March and April. Mainly because I'll be teaching at both of them.
First, is the "Boom Your Business" 2-day event on the Mornington Peninsula near Melbourne, Australia. Five Wizard of Ads Partners are collaborating to present a variety of the business topics near and dear to our hearts. Of course, the topics we love the best are the same topics we use to grow our clients' businesses. We still have a few seats left. It's a small venue at a yacht club. NICE!
Second, is my Blog/Web Workshop at Wizard Academy. Very limited enrollment. Students will arrive with nothing but ideas and leave with a blog/web site and armed with the power to use it!
SuperBowl Ads
Michele Miller has posted some fun thoughts on the Super Bowl ads. I didn't catch the game this year because we were out celebrating my youngest daughter's birthday (13!). I watched all of the ads in tiny YouTube format. Michele gives her unique look at how the ads played to women.
Congratulations to Bryan Eisenberg, Holly Buchanan and everyone at Grokdotcom for picking up a couple of nice awards last week!
It was a Day of Days
Just got back to my room after hearing Nellie McKay cap off the annual Wizard Academy reunion. That was fun! She played for an hour and stayed to sign autographs and take pics with us. A nice cozy crowd of about 100 people. If you don't know who Nellie McKay is, you should find out.
We had a few warm-up numbers from Peter Nevland and Phil Sheeran.
Too fun for words!

In much the same way that ballet has inspired film, pop musicians too have a healthy appreciation for dance. With the return of Chroma featuring orchestrations of music by The White Stripes, we thought we'd take a look at a few examples:
Freddie Mercury and The Royal Ballet - I Want to Break Free
One of Queen's most iconic music videos and possibly the clip that kickstarted pop's fascination with ballet, I Want to Break Free saw The Royal Ballet perform with Freddie Mercury in a Wayne Eagling-choreographed performance that paid no small homage to Vaslav Nijinsky's L'Après-midi d'un faune. The Company had worked with Mercury before - performing Bohemian Rhapsody and Killer Queen with him on stage at a gala at the Coliseum in 1977. Mercury was an avid opera and ballet fan, and also collaborated with soprano Montserrat Caballé.
Lady Gaga with The Bolshoi - Ballets Russes Italian Style (The Shortest Musical You Will Never See Again)
Pop's most eccentric artist collaborated with the Bolshoi Ballet as well as a host of other celebrities for Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art's 30th anniversary gala in 2009. The event was masterminded by artist Francesco Vezzoli, who dubbed Lady Gaga 'one of the Nijinskys of our epoch'. Among other high profile collaborators, Damien Hurst designed the piano played by Gaga, while Baz Luhrmann and Miuccia Prada designed costumes, and David Hockney designed the staging.
Radiohead with Wayne McGregor - Lotus Flower
A viral hit, Radiohead's 2011 music video for Lotus Flower is strikingly sparse - bowler-hatted frontman Thom Yorke flails in monochrome to the stuttering and soaring stand-out track, taken from the album The King of Limbs. Royal Ballet Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor choreographed the sequence at Yorke's request and the video sparked an internet meme 'Dancing Thom Yorke' where fans replaced the audio with other songs, most memorably Beyoncé's Single Ladies. Yorke and McGregor collaborated again on the video for Radiohead side-project Atoms for Peace's Ingenue. 'It's like any contemporary artists working alongside each other,' offered Sadler's Wells Artistic Director Alistair Spalding. 'They will tend to work with their friends. It's like when Diaghilev would commission Stravinsky. Maybe today he would think about Radiohead.'
Boy George, Alison Mosshart, and more with Wayne McGregor - Carbon Life
Another pop/dance fusion from Wayne McGregor, Carbon Life saw the choreographer team up with DJ/producer Mark Ronson enlist to assemble a supergroup of pop talent from 80s new wave (Boy George) to indie rock (Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow, Alison Mosshart of The Kills and The Dead Weather) and hip hop (Wale). The Gareth Pugh-designed production saw a backing band perform nine songs live from the rear of the stage while a revolving ensemble of Royal Ballet dancers performed in front. Among other inventive elements, the ballet saw male dancers performing on pointe, dressed in Pugh's striking angular costumes.
Sufjan Stevens with Justin Peck and New York City Ballet - Year of the Rabbit
Performed to an orchestration of Sufjan Stevens's astrology-inspired electronic song cycle Enjoy Your Rabbit, Year of the Rabbit was choreographed by New York City Ballet corps dancer Justin Peck. It followed an earlier collaboration between Peck and Stevens, which was created for the New York Choreographic Institute and follows the George Balanchine's tradition of, in Stevens's words, 'refusing to impose meaning [and] manipulating the dancers as abstract objects'. The pair are collaborating on a third work which will have its premiere in May 2014.

In the much anticipated Bioshock Infinite DLC, Burial at Sea, players will return to Rapture in a noir inspired adventure starring protagonists Booker and Elizabeth. In honor of this new release, Irrational Games has provided its cosplay fans with a detailed look at Elizabeth's new outfit.
Irrational Games has seemingly recognized the positive impact Elizabeth cosplayers have on their game as a whole. It already struck oil once with Anna Moleva, a cosplayer whose steller Elizabeth costume actually got her hired as the game's spokeswoman.
Hopefully, Elizaebeth's playable section in Burial at Sea will inspire original and unique cosplay content.
Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea will be released later this year.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ringo!
Facts about Ringo
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier Mix
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Ringo's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Ringo is a 4 year old Parsons Jack Russell Terrier, weighs 17lbs. He is a charming boy! Come by The Shelter Hope Pet Shop and meet him!
Other Pets at Shelter Hope Pet Shop
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ringo, a Thousand Oaks Jack Russell Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier for sale in Thousand Oaks, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier dog from a breeder in Thousand Oaks.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Thousand Oaks already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Thousand Oaks breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Jack Russell Terrier breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Thousand Oaks paves the way for another one to be saved.

Fear not, DotComGiftShop are here to help with your Easter decorations and offer some much-needed inspiration.
Easter Egg Hunt Decorations
Right, the first thing you need is to hand out the Easter Egg Baskets to each team so there can be an official count at the end to determine the winner.
Then, decorate the area with Painted Metal Pears or anything else from the superb DotComGiftShop Easter collection to add a real sense of magic to the occasion.
Finally, tell everyone to get hunting!
Easter Party Decorations
We've got some many great Easter decorations, we've decided to split our list of suggestions into themes to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
Vintage Easter Decorations
To create a truly rustic look, why not hide one or two surprises inside a Woodland Gift Box? Or how about Decorative Paper Eggs, which are emblazoned with beautiful vintage designs.
Hanging Easter Decorations
Where do we start? How about with our brilliant Patchwork Fabric Birds? Our Hanging Bunny decoration is another favourite, or what about our pretty Hanging Butterfly? All of these stylish decorations really do help create an Easter wonderland, filled with magic and excitement.
Chicken Easter Decorations
Well, you can't have eggs without a chicken can you? Our Easter Rainbow Chicks are just lovely, as are our gorgeous Easter Chick T-lights. Dot them around the garden or give them out as prizes. However you choose to use them, kids will love them.
Metal Easter Decorations
Metal decorations are always a great investment because they're hard-wearing and can be re-used year on year. Our ornamental Aviary Birdcage lantern makes a stunning centerpiece to any Easter table decorations, as do our little Silver Bells.
But if you prefer homemade Easter decorations, make sure you check out our felt craft section, which is full of great products you can put together yourself.

This interview was originally posted on BDN Premium on 7-31. This is a free-view of that interview that was conducted by fellow BDN recruiting analyst Andrew Slater. We hope you will compare this piece to others offerings and then try our subscription section for yourself.
As the point guard for DeMatha, Quinn Cook led the Washington area Catholic school to a City Title and a Washington Catholic Athletic Conference Championship, earning the Washington Post All-Met Player of the Year award as a junior. In July, Quinn helped lead the United States to a gold medal, including dishing out a team-high eleven assists in the Championship game against Poland, at the FIBA Under-17 World Basketball Championship in Hamburg, Germany. Before leaving for Germany, Cook made the decision to spend his senior year in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia at national power Oak Hill Academy, whose long list of alumni includes Duke guards Nolan Smith and William Avery. After playing in front of Duke coach Nate James at the recent Adidas Super 64 tournament in Las Vegas, Quinn spoke with Blue Devil Nation about his decision to transfer from DeMatha to Oak Hill, changing others' perceptions of him through his play with the USA Under-17 team, and Duke's interest in him, among various topics.
What was the experience like being part of a gold medal winning team in Germany?
It was a great experience. I got to play with a lot of great people in my class. Players like Marquis Teague and players like that so it was just a wonderful experience competing and playing for the national team and being able to win the world championship. It's a blessing, but it was a lot of hard work. We didn't want to be outworked.
What did you do with that gold medal after you received it?
I gave it to my mom. So, I guess she's going to put it in her room.
Obviously, your father was very important to you, what do you think he would of thought of you winning the gold medal and did you think about what his reaction would have been after you guys won the gold medal?
Without him, I wouldn't be here. He was the one who put the basketball in my hands. I just try to honor him and his name and his character not only when I'm on the court, but in the time when I'm away from the court. I want people to see him when they see me out here or in the community.
Who are some guys on the team that you became close with over the time spent with the team?
I tried to get close with [private] really everybody on the team and just, you know, establish relationships.
Were there one or two guys that you were particularly close with?
Oh, yeah, Marquis Teague and Tony Wroten. We definitely were real close on the team. We definitely became real close. We hung out and stuff.
I know you're a big Kobe guy. What did you think of the whole LeBron announcement and decision?
Well, I respect his decision. I can't knock him for wanting to win a ring. You know he's in Miami where he's now with D. Wade and that's a pretty big and bold move, but he still can't beat Kobe. He can't. Not yet, at least.
You're moving on to Oak Hill. What went into that decision? Are you excited about it?
I'm very excited about it. I get to play with some great players. It was just, um..
Too many distractions?
Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. There were just too many distractions and things going on. My mom is a single mom, man. You know I don't really have that strong male figure in my life and, you know, Coach Jones was that. I'm blessed for that, but there was, well, you know, a lot of drama going on. Plus, on the basketball court, I don't feel like I like I have anything left to prove in the DC leagues.
Yeah, you're the first junior to win the player of the year in more than four decades. Now you're going to be playing a really national schedule for Oak Hill and more games as well.
Yeah, definitely, the schedule is going to be a challenge, but it'll make me better in the long-run. I also think that Oak Hill will get me ready, both on and off of the court, playing away from home and my mom and everybody else will help become more of a man. Just becoming a man and being by myself.
I do think it will help with your adjustment for college. Not just at Oak Hill, but a lot of guys that have gone up to the New England boarding schools and have gotten away from the distractions have come out better prepared for college life and basketball. When do you head to Oak Hill?
I have no clue. (laughs)
Well, what are your goals for this season? A National Championship? McDonald's All-American?
Undefeated. I'd love to go undefeated. For me, personally, in order would be to be the national champion, to be a McDonald's All-American, Jordan Brand All-American, and then to make the Nike Hoops Summit.
What's it like to have Sidiki (Johnson) join DC Assault before you guys play together at Oak Hill?
I think it's been great to have him join us so that we can establish some chemistry before we play at Oak Hill together. We're both coming in as seniors and so we don't have a lot of time to work on that, but this will help. We played together at the Pangos (All-American Camp), but this is another level.
Has he been talking to you about joining him at Arizona?
Not too much really. He's been cool about it. He obviously wants me to go there, but he's not pushing anything.
Are you going to take all five of your visits?
Yeah, I don't know which five schools I'm going to visit yet, but I do know that I'd like to take all five of my visits.
At this point, what are your schools?
I've got ten schools right now: Villanova, Duke, Wake Forest, NC State, Arizona, UCLA, West Virginia, Rutgers, St. John's and Georgetown.
Okay, do you have a timeframe for when you'd like to decide by or cut down on your list?
I want to decide by the fall, but I don't want to rush just too quickly into anything because, you know, it's a big decision. It's probably the biggest decision I'm going to make at this point in my life.
I understand. Do you think you opened up a lot of eyes by how you played over in Germany? The fact that you were more of a distributor than a scorer, as you have been asked to be for both DeMatha and your DC Assault team. Wrongly or rightly, some seemed to think that you're more of a gunner, but then you led the USA team in assists.
Yeah, definitely. Well, I mean, I hope so because I've always been a pass-first point guard, but, with both of those teams, they've asked me to score more for us to win and so, you know, I have, but, believe me, I love to pass the ball and get others involved. I'll do whatever my coach feels he needs me to do to win. I'm just trying to be helpful. Whatever my coach or my team needs me to do, I'll do. No doubt. So, yeah, I hope it made people realize there's more to my game than just scoring or whatever people thought before.
Yeah, I remember somebody you know told me that was how you felt about eighteen months ago and you were able to be more of a distributor when you were younger at DeMatha. At this point, what do you think will be the most important factor in your decision for college?
My relationship with the coaches is definitely number one at this point. I just want to feel comfortable with them and have them feel comfortable with me. After that, everything else can take care of itself.
You've played against probably every other top player in your class, at some point or another. Who are some other guys that you really walked away respecting or were really good challenges for you?
Johnny O' Bryant. The guy works his tail off and gave max effort. Johnny, yeah.
What about other point guards? Anyone stand out?
Oh, oh, oh. Marquis Teague is probably the toughest offensive point guard to check and Tony Wroten is tough too, with his size and everything.
For a player your age, I always think that you have a high basketball IQ. You try to make up for what others may have in height and quickness with your mind for basketball. Have you thought about getting into coaching after your playing career is over?
Hopefully, after the NBA, yep. I want to make the NBA and play as long as I can, but, after that, yeah.
Now, I know that you were a North Carolina fan growing up, but now Duke is recruiting you. You obviously know and are friends with a lot of the guys in the Duke program now, though.
Yeah, but I cheered for Duke. I mean even growing up, even though I was a North Carolina fan, I always respected Duke and what they accomplished and Coach K. Now, I mean they have a lot of guys that I know and am close friends with too. I like Duke a lot.
So, you weren't one of those guys that felt they had to hate Duke because you liked North Carolina. Who, on the coaching staff, have you spoken with most?
Well, both Coach James and Coach K. Those are the two that I've spoken to most. I spoke with Coach K probably the most.
I saw Coach James watching you today. What have they said to you?
Yeah, I saw him too. They're very interested in me because, well, you know, um, they're highly interested in me and we'll go from there.
What do you feel that can immediately bring to a program?
Toughness. Definitely toughness. I'm not the fastest or biggest or strongest guy, but I'll out tough my defender and beat him with heart. My heart and toughness is as big as anyone's.
What's one thing that fans don't know about Nolan Smith?
That he and Mike Beasley are like my Godbrothers and mentors. He's helped me with my situation with my father as much as anyone. I'll always be grateful to him for that.
Yeah, I saw Nolan last night at the Wynn. He's obviously helping the USA team, but I'm glad that he was so helpful to you. Thanks for your time, Quinn.
No problem. No problem.

An Early Look at GNOME 3.0 |
Page 2 |
All Pages |
For example, consider that the Activities Overview and the Alt-Tab switcher are the only ways to switch between running applications. I run a dual-monitor setup, and prefer to use GNOME 2's window list to switch between apps. That's not because I'm old-fashioned, it's because I can switch to any running app in less than a second by clicking on its window list icon. In contrast, it takes 4 to 5 seconds to switch apps via the Activities Overview, and potentially longer with Alt-Tab, depending on how many are open. On top of that, if I've been away from the keyboard, I can instantaneously tell that there are highlighted IRC messages or new IMs in the panel, because the window list icon slowly pulsates. In GNOME Shell, if I missed the transient notification pop-up, it's just gone.
So why is there no window list option in GNOME Shell? Officially, the Design FAQ tell us: "in order to minimise distraction and interruption and to enable users to focus on the task at hand. A persistent window list or dock would interfere with this goal, serving as a constant temptation to switch focus." Well, my oh my — thank goodness I'm protected from temptation. Although are we supposed to believe that the 22-pixel high list of windows amounts to a greater temptation to distraction than the actual application windows themselves? I know there are users who prefer the hide-all-inactive-windows behavior of tools like Isolator, but last I heard that wasn't slated to be mandatory in GNOME. Besides, the GNOME 3 home page says the goal is "to put you in control." When I can't quickly switch between running apps when I need to, all to save me from the temptation of switching apps when I don't need to, I don't feel in control.
To the Bugzillamobile!
The app-switching difficulty is just the kind of problem that makes me feel like GNOME Shell hasn't had nearly enough real-world testing. It was obviously designed by a small team based on an in-house specification, but one that considers only one way to work. That simply isn't good enough for mass-production environments. There are too many assumptions about distraction, preferences, and daily routines that don't hold up in the wild.
Consider another problem: the menu bar has and will have no "applets." A user filed a bug report about this, specifically citing the need for a system monitor applet. Red Hat's Jon McCann, the GNOME Shell design lead, dismisses it as unnecessary, because "it would be better for the system to be robust against this type of failure." The design FAQ claims a review was done of the GNOME 2 applets, and "it was concluded that no essential functionality has been omitted from the GNOME Shell design." In reality, though, you can dig into the mailing list archives and find that McCann opposed applets for an entirely different reason: because they are "detrimental to the Identity of the product or platform" in that they they allow "ad-hoc/individually-customized design identity." So at least when your CPU overheats, it won't disturb the identity of the desktop in the process?
Fortunately, as the actual release date draws near, the voices of real users are slowing pushing back against some of the bad ideas that came out of the initial design process. An "extension" mechanism is in the works for the GNOME Shell panel, which will allow developers to code missing pieces such as system monitor applets. The API is not defined yet, but there is a git repository where you can follow some of the work.
In an even better example, McCann's preliminary design removed all categories from the App Well, dumping all application icons into a single slow-to-search alphabetized grid. He defends this choice in a bug report, citing a research paper. Fortunately developer Giovanni Campagna held fast, observing that the paper was about a different topic, while pointing out that a 2-D grid is slower to search than a 1-D application list, and that categories substantially speed up users' ability to find the app they are looking for. App Well categories returned in the ISO builds provided by Crozat, but are not in the Ubuntu repository's version of GNOME Shell. Having used both over the past week, the speed difference is tremendous.
Let me be clear: I don't mention McCann in order to single him out personally for some reason; I've never met him and don't even know him online. But his response to this series of bug reports is illustrative: the design decisions were fixed in stone — by a small team — before the code was written, and were based on a literature survey, not real users' actual experiences. For all the flak that Ubuntu-critics like to give Canonical for developing Unity "privately," the upstream GNOME project can be just as unresponsive to input and difficult to interact with, and users get weaker software as a result.
Thus, while I don't think GNOME Shell currently provides enough functionality to use in place of GNOME 2's panel on a daily basis, I highly encourage everyone interested in the platform to test it out and send your feedback to the project. Create a GNOME Bugzilla account, and file a bug reporting the problem.
There are still plenty to squish. You cannot change the placement or orientation of the menubar or notification area (so if you read left-to-right, top-to-bottom, pop-ups pop up in the least-used part of the screen; if your language is different, they're right in your way). The menubar only spans one monitor, which mis-aligns application windows on multi-montior systems and makes them hard to drag from one display to another. The "Activities" label is entirely superfluous. The Alt-F2 command-launcher is impossible to discover. System Preferences are buried halfway down the combined IM-and-shutdown menu, which makes them look like IM Preferences. For that matter, why are IM, preferences, and shutdown combined in one menu anyway (and why is it labeled with my name — in case I forget it?)?
My biggest personal aggravation at the moment is those blurry and cropped-off "current app" icons. A good 40% of the icon is gone, making many of them indistinguishable from one another, and others unidentifiable. I even asked about the rationale on "GNOME 3 User Day" in IRC, and no one could explain when or why it was done. Luckily there is still time between now and April to get it fixed.
On the whole, GNOME 3 is going to bring loads of positive changes for users and for application developers. GTK+ 3, Mutter, the polished notification system — all are clear wins. Shell probably needs more time. I try to take the optimistic viewpoint that Unity, which shares a lot of Shell's underpinnings, will serve as healthy competition, as will continued developments from outside developers working on the extension framework, and eventually we users will get a solution that supports multiple hardware configurations and individual workflows. Sure, it might be rocky for a while in the meantime, but ultimately, isn't that freedom what open source software is all about?

Liberal talking head Sam Donaldson running his mouth against the Tea Party—something he's done since 2009—claims America no longer belongs to the Tea Party. Apparently "we the people" does not include conservatives.
Sam Donaldson, or Daffy Duck, which ever name anyone choose's to call him, he does'nt know his hine part from his head, it appears. Sammie, it would be very nice, if you would at least keep your stupid, and I mean, Very Stupid comments to yourself, the only reason the Tea Party hears you now, is by accident, but you haven't changed one bit, you still don't know what you are talking about.

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving

The 2013 recipient of the Bennett Award for Congregational Action on Human Justice and Social Action is Unitarian Universalists of Clearwater, FL.
Unitarian Universalists of Clearwater (UUC), FL have a legacy of social justice since the congregation's founding in 1951. A leader in the civil rights movement and desegregation in Florida, the congregation advocated for justice and change throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.
UUC was one of the earliest congregations to receive the Welcoming Congregation designation, and throughout the 1990s expanded their justice ministry to include the Partner Church Program, an interfaith response to local hunger and homelessness, and anti-racism workshops.
After Rev. Abhi Janamanchi was called as their minister in 1999, the congregation adopted a social justice council model with four foci: economic justice, environmental justice, human rights, and congregation-based community organizing with FAST (Faith and Action for Strength Together). The congregation also designated liaisons with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) and Interweave. They used the Unitarian Universalist Association's (UUA's) Social Justice Empowerment program to organize and strengthen their social justice ministry.
Today UUC has an active, diverse, and dynamic justice ministry. For more than thirteen years, the congregation has had a vibrant partnership with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), since the group's inception. Their partnership has evolved from supporting CIW boycotts to organizing more broadly for compassionate immigration reform on the state and federal level. Through the congregation's connection with CIW, UUC became involved in a successful effort to stop Arizona-like copycat legislation in Florida, with Rev. Janamanchi testifying against anti-immigrant laws proposed for the county.
Since 2002, UUC has advocated in support of LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queeer) individuals including supporting the transgender city manager of Largo, FL who was unfairly fired for her identity. The congregation has been actively supporting freedom to marry and rallied to defeat the 2012 amendment to outlaw same-sex marriage. UUC has embraced Standing on the Side of Love campaign and participates in 30 Days of Love annually.
Environmental justice has been another priority for UUC for more than ten years, and in 2012 the congregation became a certified Green Sanctuary congregation. Conscientious of their footprint, the congregation revised policies on recycling, water conversation, energy use, ethical eating and support of the Fair Trade Coffee Program in 2009. UUC hosted the International Association of Religious Freedom's annual conference in 2010 which had an environmental justice focus. Most recently, the congregation has planted a permaculture vegetable garden that has doubled in size in the last two years.
Additionally, the congregation has nurtured strong interfaith ties in the community. Rev. Janamanchi was instrumental in organizing the Tampa Bay Interfaith Coalition, which has held series of programs to promote interfaith understanding and cooperation as well as interfaith services for a variety of holidays and vigils in response to disasters and tragedies, ranging from September 11, Hurricane Katrina, the Wisconsin Sikh gurudwara shooting, and the Newtown shootings. UUC also organized voter education and registration events in 2012, and provided educational opportunities on Florida constitutional amendments.
As part of a conscious effort to honor social justice ministry as a spiritual practice, the congregation has a monthly 'social justice testimonial' during their Sunday service. Its purpose is to inform the congregation about their social justice ministry and how they are living out their values as a faith community. The report is videotaped and posted on the congregation's website as well. Highlights from 2011-2012 include the multigenerational holiday project that purchased presents for 130 children whose lives have been impacted by AIDS, participation in Occupy Tampa's interfaith services, joining the NAACP for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day march, supporting immigrant farmworkers with a rice-and-beans collection, a rally and march for jobs, ongoing sale of Fair Trade products, and preparing to host a Green Fair in April. By sharing the justice ministry report during Sunday worship, the congregation remains connected with the important ministry they are engaging with in their community.

In Munich, trachten turns trendy
When you enter Lipah's shop, the self-proclaimed "Bavarian lederhosen king" will likely offer you a beer, reaching into the fridge at the back of the store for a bottle of weiss or dunkel, giving potential customers a dose of Bavarian hospitality as he offers quick quips and outrageous stories, like the time he drove from Germany to Iran wearing nothing but lederhosen the whole way. With a private collection of 300 lederhosen, including a pair from 1820, he is clearly not just in the business for the money.
In fact, Lipah remembers a time when there was no money in traditional clothing."Thirty years ago, nobody had lederhosen. When I opened in 1982, the normal people say 'he is crazy'. All the television and radio and newspaper came to me and asked me about the lederhosen," Lipah said. "This was the beginning for the new lederhosen hurricane. Only music groups and traditional groups wore lederhosen then, but private people never [did]."
Of course, now times have changed, which is good news for Lipah and many other Munich business owners. "People from Australia, America, Africa fly special to Germany to come to my shop," Lipah said. Seems times are good for the lederhosen king.

Does the movie Captain Phillips accurately show what happened on the Maersk Alabama?
On October 11, 2013, a movie called Captain Phillips, starring Tom Hanks as Captain Phillips, will premiere nationwide. The movie has received glowing reviews, and claims to be based on actual events. Over three years ago, the Maersk Alabama cargo ship was attacked and captured by four Somali pirates less than 300 nautical miles off the Coast of Somalia. The captain and the crew were taken hostage, and the pirates took the captain, Richard Phillips, off the ship into a life boat. On orders from President Obama, the brave men and women of the U.S. Navy, and specifically Navy marksmen, fatally shot all but one of the pirates and rescued Captain Phillips. The story made national news.
But does the movie tell the whole story? And does the movie tell the story accurately?
Approximately half of the crewmembers, represented by Houston attorney Brian Beckcom, are claiming that the shipping company, Maersk Lines Limited, willfully allowed the Maersk Alabama to sail directly into pirate-infested waters despite receiving multiple warnings to avoid the area. And the lawsuit further claims that the Alabama didn't have adequate anti-pirate security measures. That lawsuit is scheduled for trial in Mobile, Alabama on December 2, 2013.
So, what's the real story?
"Tom Hanks is a terrific actor and I'm sure the movie will do great. But, the real heroes here are the men and women of the U.S. Navy who rescued the shipping company from its poor decisions and the brave crewmembers who actually fought back against the pirates once they boarded the ship—despite the crewmembers being unarmed and facing pirates with automatic weapons," says attorney Brian Beckcom, the lead lawyer for the crew.
According to the lawsuit, Maersk essentially "outsourced" the security of the Alabama to the U.S. Military, and by extension, to the taxpayers of the United States, rather than provide basic anti-piracy prevention measures like armed guards. Of note, the Maersk Alabama has been approached by pirates on at least two other occasions after the April 2009 attacks. Both times, according to news reports, the pirates were quickly repelled by armed security personnel.
"If anything, this lawsuit has sent a very clear message to the shipping industry. Namely, if you're going to send crewmembers to dangerous waters, you should protect them or give them the means to protect themselves. Not leave them to fend for themselves, and not rely on the U.S. taxpayers and U.S. military to come to the rescue. It seems like the industry has gotten the message, and that's a good thing for the men and women who work on these ships."

Captain Phillips Movie Hero or Lawsuit Villian?The cargo ship MV Maersk Alabama was hijacked by Somali pirates in April 2009 as it sailed along the coast of Africa. Phillips was taken hostage on a small lifeboat and eventually rescued by Navy SEALs. |
A captain's piracy saga comes to the screenWithin weeks of the hostage incident, in April 2009, crewmen from the Maersk Alabama, Phillips's ship, filed suit against the ship's owner and operator, alleging Phillips risked their lives by steering too close to the Somali coast, where pirates were known to be operating |

Loading, A Gaming Bar in London is Seeking Funds
Many of you may not be aware of this slick crowd funding website, Indiegogo.com, but like Kickstarter it also supports and helps fund a lot of nifty projects. Just recently I became aware of a neat project that mixes the love for gaming and drinking. Loading, which currently is a cafe and cocktail bar located in southwest England in Cornwall is looking to expand to the capital.
They will be working with The Drunken Moogle for new cocktail drinks, and Gourmet Gaming for the food.
This looks like an awesome place to hang out, but unfortunately is set to be in London for those in the U.S. You can still help fund this project by checking out their Indiegogo page, but there will be an extra shipping charge for rewards for those that reside outside the UK.
The beauty of Indiegogo is that you can set up a flexible funding campaign, which means even if the project doesn't reach its goal, they still promise to fulfill all the rewards and will receive whatever money was raised anyway. Some of the rewards they are offering are drink tickets, tshirts, and hoodies. There are also a lot of limited rewards such as a signed copy of Arkham City signed by Rocksteady, a customized controller, or your name in the menu behind a cocktail you can help them create.
Below are a few photos of the drinks they will be featuring. So far they're featuring cocktails for Capcom, EA, THQ, Minecraft, and Deux Ex with more to come. This impressive list of drinks can also be found on The Drunken Moogle's website.
They are looking to raise $50,000.
I wish these guys all the best. To check out their official website, follow the link here.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-1) Line: New Orleans 3 (47) Tampa Bay HC Sean Payton (68-37) NFL 7th year. HC Greg Schiano (7-10) NFL 2nd year. QB #9 Drew Brees 6-1 210 NFL 13 years. Purdue.

Report came out today that Freeman will request a trade from Bucs...This is going to be an ugly season.
Then maybe that's why it's on FOX TV. I'm getting the Lions at Cardinals game on FOX. Thought maybe it was a black out game in Central Florida.
Agreed. Unless you've got the headless horseman on your team I don't know what a defender is supposed to do with his head when making a tackle.

I invited the censoring party to contact me directly, which Beckett has not done. I know you're not responsible here, but it's more than just a shame that Beckett does not understand the deeper degrees of Customer Satisfaction and Retention, in my case those associated with Grading and the Registry. They sold me on both at an Open House a number of years ago here in Dallas, largely centered on my 1966 Topps Venezuelan pursuit. I trusted them enough to build other significant collecting goals around Beckett Grading and the Registry. They flat out don't give a crap. Heads would roll in my industry for this type of customer disregard.

No. Reading Beckett almost daily as I do and "Customer Appreciation" striking a nerve, absolutely, about $5k spent in grading and no registry worth of nerves, not to mention numerous wasted hours on the registry that is now non-existent. If I wanted to troll, I would be posting the same on SGC, PSA, Net54Baseball, Venezuelan Topps Baseball Card Forum, and lowly Facebook. All you will find there, are positive comments about Beckett and specifically about Beckett Grading. This is not a sarcastic question . . . as a Beckett Moderator, do you know who is in charge of the registry or what's happening with it? I've met Mark Anderson a few times, great guy and I highly respect him. He was very kind in responding to a note a sent him in March but seemed somewhat powerless as far as the registry is concerned. Sounded then like a database rewrite issue. With no updates of any kind, though legitimately goading and even begging for over a year, frustrations, like mine, naturally boil over.
