Got an Apple iPad at Home? Get Ready for Windows 8!
Sep 19, 2011 3:45 PM, by Jason Bovberg
Surprising innovation from Microsoft changes the tablet-computing market.
Are you one of the millions of people for whom the Apple iPad has transformed the way you go about your personal computing? Particularly for those people whose computing needs are fairly modest—after all, this otherwise cool device is missing many of the necessities of a true computing experience (like USB support, a disk drive, multitasking capabilities)—the iPad is a convenient, sleek way to play, surf, and communicate. In short, it has about all we want in a cool computing device for simple multimedia in the home. Who knew tablet computing would so suddenly come into its own after so many false starts? Leave it to Apple, right?
And seemingly against all odds, the iPad has surged forward in the public consciousness, tossing up healthy sales numbers, continuing solid growth, and shrugging off any number of promising competitors. I've seen strong word-of-mouth for such alternatives as the Research in Motion (RIM) BlackBerry PlayBook, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the HP Slate, the Motorola Xoom, and the Cisco Cius—not to mention the Nook Color, if your home multimedia needs lean toward digital reading. But despite any real advantages among these alternatives, common wisdom tells us that they're just pretenders.
Such is the hold that Apple has on our consumer consciousness. It's a remarkable phenomenon; one that I feel is mostly deserved. Apple makes—for the most part—outstanding products that obviously stand apart from the pack, thanks to their stylish, groundbreaking interfaces and fluid usability. But come on—isn't there something vaguely disturbing about our blind allegiance to Apple even in the event of real usability and vulnerability concerns (e.g., the iPhone 4 antenna snafu, various security worries)? Maybe not—Apple admittedly does so much right that these problems almost seem trivial. The question is whether Apple's problems will remain trivial as the company continues its remarkable growth, and in the event of Steve Jobs' departure from the position of CEO.
But this is the reality: Apple has surged forward with an unlikely success story in the iPad. The device has taken firm root in the home, offering an entertaining computing experience for the whole family. I have a friend who routinely hands over his $800 iPad to his six-year-old daughter to play her favorite princess game, and my own daughters' grandparents are always letting my kids take control of their high-end $1000 iPad model to record video or take photos on its massive screen. (And I can only hold my breath as their little hands awkwardly maneuver the sleek, slippery tablet.) In the space of little more than a year, the iPad has transcended its initial purpose as an AV plaything and become an actual threat to the personal computer—in short, threatening the very way we perform computing at home and at work.

There's no question the Bradley Central Bearettes have returned to their former glory the past three seasons, but one thing is missing — a TSSAA state tournament berth.
Despite an 86-10 record since 6-foot-8 Jason Reuter took over as head coach and 6-foot-2 "Twin Towers" Brooke Copeland and Reuter's daughter Rebecca joined the storied program, they have come up one win shy of making the last two state tournament fields.
"We've been right on the cusp," declared the elder Reuter. "We've played well during the regular seasons and in the district and region tournaments, but we've had a little bad luck in the substate."
Playing without District Player of the Year Caroline Smith who had suffered a concussion in the region final against Cumberland County two days before, Bradley finished at 32-2 after falling 44-43 in overtime to Lawrence County in last year's sectional game.
In 2011, a senior-less Bearette squad went 27-6 but ran into a senior-laden Blackman squad which snapped a 14-game Bradley winning streak with a 44-27 drumming.
The Bearettes (28-2), ranked third in the final Associated Press poll of the season, will get a chance to rectify that situation Saturday evening, but face another tall hurdle as nationally ranked Blackman (26-4) comes to "The Jim" (Jim Smiddy Arena) for a 7 p.m. tipoff.
"They were ranked right behind us (fourth) in the final state poll, but they are ranked in the Top 50 in the national poll," related coach Reuter. "Their only losses this season have come to defending state champion Riverdale."
After defeating Blackman for the fourth time this season, Riverdale (31-0), the top-ranked team in the state and No. 2 in the MaxPreps national poll, will host White County (21-12) in a Sectional game Saturday as well.
Along with the Bradley-Blackman pairing, the only other substate game to feature a matchup of state-ranked teams is No. 6 Farragut (28-4) visiting second-ranked Science Hill (32-3).
Other sectional games include; Tennessee High (26-6) at Bearden (24-7); Antioch (25-6) at Hendersonville Beech (25-8); Mount Juliet (24-9) at Brentwood (20-11); Memphis Central (26-3) at Munford (27-5) and Jackson North Side (13-19) at ninth-ranked Memphis Overton (28-6).
The TSSAA state tournament draw will be held Sunday in Murfreesboro with games set to begin Wednesday morning at Middle Tennessee State University's Murphy Center. This year the Class AAA games will be played in the morning and afternoon Wednesday, with the semifinals to tip off Friday morning and the state title game to open the final day, March 9.
While Bradley has relied heavily on its inside game with the pair of NCAA Division I post prospects patrolling the paint, it has been their guard play in the postseason that has helped the Bearettes post "three-peat" district and region championships.
"Everybody knows what Brooke (Copeland) and Rebecca (Reuter) can do inside, but our guards (senior wings Kayla Withrow and Brandi Whitted, plus junior point guard Whitney Donaldson) have taken some of the pressure off them with the way they have played lately," coach Reuter related.
Copeland, this year's District 5-AAA Player of the Year, and Reuter have both averaged a double-double and more than two blocks per game this season, just part of the reason college scouts and coaches are drooling over the prospect of having them join their teams.
Pouring in 19 points and grabbing 10 rebounds a game, Copeland is shooting 50 percent from inside the arc and has hit better than 72 percent of more than 200 foul shots this season.
Reuter has netted 11 points and snatched 10 caroms an outing, plus is hitting 52 percent of her inside shots and is also a 72 percent free-throw shooter.
The pair combined to match White County's total in the Region 3-AAA championship game Wednesday with 42 points, while also clearing the glass for 24 rebounds and blocking a five shots.
Donaldson, who moved in from Morristown during the last offseason, has steadily improved as she has gotten used to the Bearette style of play. The 5-foot-4 fireball is netting nine points a game, plus dishing out 4.5 assists and swiping a pair of steals on average.
Withrow posted a career-high 26 points, including a half dozen 3-pointers, in the region opener against Cumberland County a week ago. Hitting at a 38 percent clip, she has made more than 50 shots from beyond the arc while averaging eight points, three assists and two steals a game.
Whitted is contributing five points, three assists and three rebounds a night, while senior Baylee Carroll is adding an average of four points and four rebounds as the team's "sixth man."
"Brooke and Rebecca have been playing varsity together for three years now and know each other pretty well," coach Reuter explained. "The other girls are starting for the first time for us this year and it has taken time for everybody to get used to each other, but we've got a whole season under our belts together now."
Bradley graduated six seniors off of last year's substate squad, including five who are playing on the collegiate level now.
Blackman comes to town tomorrow with a very impressive squad once again.
"I've only gotten to see some film on them for a brief time this afternoon (Thursday), but they are ranked for a reason," coach Reuter commented. "They are very fast and very long. Their defense is their offense, in that they get the majority of their points off of the turnovers their trap/pressure creates.
"They have a freshman point guard named Dangerfield that is one of the quickest girls I've seen. She is their leading scorer at 14.6 (ppg). They have a 6-foot sophomore that averages 13.5, plus a 5-foot-11 junior named Norris that has arms like she's 6-foot-4. She has more than 100 steals this year and averages 8.5 points.
"In the paint they have a 6-foot-3 freshman post that gives them 8.7 (ppg) and a 6-foot-4 sophomore, plus a 6-foot-2 girl that comes off the bench," he added. "Our size isn't going to affect them the way it has most of the teams we faced this year.
"We are going to have to come out and show them early that we can handle their pressure," the coach continued. "They bring the kind of pressure we saw against Wesleyan in Atlanta (one of the Bearettes' two losses this season). We came back from that game and changed some things that have helped us.
"We can't play timid against them," coach Reuter concluded. "Our guards have been playing great and they have to continue to take the open shots. Our big girls need to take it to them underneath and go to the basket strong and draw some fouls as well.
"This is the reason we went and played in that tough tournament in South Carolina and went to Atlanta, to get ready for this type of competition."
Bradley's only losses this season have come to a North Carolina state champion and a five-time Georgia state champ.

Our computers were stolen last week, (yes they were encrypted and yes I have an encrypted backup!) and we are now looking to upgrade to Office 2007, from 2003.
First, two of our staff have 2003 on their laptops (not stolen); will we be able to easily communicate, using a converter for the different versions of Word and Excel?
And second, is the Professional Plus version really that much better than the Standard version? We don't need Access and probably not Publisher, and I don't know what the InfoPath and Communicator even do, so we probably don't need those, either. Thoughts? Thank you very much,
I've upgraded a few machines from office 2003 to office 2007 just using the install upgrade option when you run set up from the office 2007 root directory. Haven't had any problems. You can set the default save in Excel, Word, and Power Point to compatibility 97-2003 versions which will work fine except occasionally you will get an Excel spread sheet saving at about 6MB when the xlsx version is about 200k
You can also install the 2007 converter on your remaining 2003 installs until you have time to upgrade.
The one area to look out for is .pst files in outlook. Keep backups of the PSTs and determine if you want to just open the old pst with the 2gb limit or move messages into new psts that don't shut down at 2gb.
Microsoft came out with a compatibility pack for Office XP and 2003 a few years back.
Also, Office 2010 is scheduled to be released this month. You may want to skip 07 altogether.
The Merchant Store, non-profit merchant accounts and equipment
Hi Kathy, Dave gave a great post about this. jestep linked the compatibility pack you would install on the older Office 2003 laptops.
I will answer your question specifically about whether or not Professional Plus is better than standard. The short answer is no. It all depends on the products you use. There are no extra features in Word between Professional Plus and Standard editions (except the integration Word has with Access, that you don't need or use). The only differences in Office between editions are the software that is bundled with each. Outlook 2007 remains a full version of Outlook 2007 in any version.
That being said, never say never! You can get the Professional Plus edition but do a custom install and not install InfoPath or Access when you perform the installation. This way, you at least have licenses to use the software at a later date if you encounter a need for it. Given the cost difference for the donation available... I'd go with the Professional Plus.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
In some ways, you've got to feel a little sympathetic for Sony. The company effectively invented the placeshifting concept--the ability to stream TV programming from your living room to another device via the Internet--in 2004, only to see it co-opted by smaller upstart Sling Media a year later. The latter company's Slingbox series of products have become the industry leader, popular enough for the start-up to be purchased by Dish Network parent EchoStar for a cool $380 million.
But Sony has stayed in the game, releasing follow-up products that that have attempted to challenge Sling's dominance. The latest such device is the LF-V30, the first LocationFree TV product to be released since the products were transferred under the rubric of Sony's PC-centric VAIO division. The LF-V30 ($250 list) adds compatibility for HD component video and has full pass-through inputs and outputs for two separate video sources. But otherwise, there's no big improvement over last year's LF-B20.
As a result, the LF-V30's flaws are even more glaring in comparison to the comparable Slingbox models, the Slingbox Pro and the Slingbox Solo. Sony's setup process still ranges from mildly to excessively frustrating--especially if you go wireless--and the viewing software and control options get the job done, but just don't offer the same degree of ease and intuitive design found on the Sling counterpart. As such, the LocationFree LF-V30 is really only commendable over a Slingbox to those who will use its two distinguishing features: the ability to stream video to a PSP, and the ability to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
About the size of a hardcover book, the all-black LocationFree TV LF-V30 could be mistaken for a somewhat fat wireless router--understandable, because that's pretty much what it is. Like Sony's PlayStation game consoles, it can be mounted horizontally or vertically (a snap-on plastic base is included). The front face of the minimalist black box has a smattering of green status LEDs, along with a power switch, a setup mode button (for use during the initial configuration), and a reset switch. As always, though, the back panel is where the action is. There are two A/V inputs. The first includes S-Video (in addition to composite) and stereo audio inputs, along with a duplicate set of pass-through outputs. The second is composite and component, the latter of which can handle high-def signals. There's also an Ethernet port for a wired network connection; the wireless antenna is internal. Last but not least, there are two infrared (IR) blaster ports--although the Base Station ships with only one single-headed blaster.
Setting up the LF-V30 is a two-step process: you need to get it connected to your network (which involves installing the included software on a PC), and you need to connect the AV cables to the video source (or sources). For the networking setup, you're offered two wireless options: using the LF-V30 as a wireless client or using it as a wireless access point. Client mode means the LF-V30 can wirelessly connect only to your wireless router--which is great if you don't have an Ethernet connection near your TV. Access point mode, on the other hand, lets you use the LF-V30 as a point of entry to your network for any other Wi-Fi device (laptop, handheld, PSP, DS, what have you)--but to do so, it requires a wired connection to the router. In other words, the wireless functionality is an either/or proposition--connect wirelessly to your router, or to your PC/PSP, but not both simultaneously. That doesn't make the LF-V30 different from any other access point or router you'd buy--just don't buy it expecting it to work as a wireless bridge.
Because of those advanced wireless capabilities, the LF-V30's networking hookup is more challenging than that of the Slingbox. Sony says the LF-V30 quick start guide is improved over last year's LF-B20 model, but the average user will still find it to be something of a challenge. (Another caveat: if you intend to use the LF-V30 in client mode, you'll need to run a wired networking connection during setup--unless you're using the Vista-optimized setup software instead.) During the process, you'll need to install the included LocationFree Player software, which includes a setup wizard. The software wizard is a bit easier to follow than the quick-start guide, but it requires you to enter a Web browser at one point to adjust some settings on the LF-V30--similar to the browser-based interfaces found on most wireless routers. If you slow down and follow the printed and software instructions step by step, you just might make it through. By comparison, if you have a UPnP router, the setup options on the Slingbox are a lot smoother and user-friendly.

Nordson Corporation: Adhesive applicators with insulating cover
The recently released MiniBlue II (slim) adhesive applicators from Nordson Corporation now come standard with a hard-plastic insulating cover that reduces energy use by about 40%.
In addition to energy savings, the insulating covers for MiniBlue II applicators also maintain applicator and adhesive temperature to improve adhesive flow and cutoff for improved dispensing performance. Covers also minimize the chance of incidental contact with heated surfaces. The applicators' unique module and solenoid technology achieves more than twice the operating life of any pneumatic applicator in the packaging industry. And, the ball-and-seat design allows for clean operation and consistent, repeatable patterns even at high speeds.

I want to make a baby quilt for a friend and she is due in two weeks. I bought the fabric pictured in the link last summer in Nashville at the shop featured and would like to use it. Any suggestions for patterns that I could make up quickly? I was thinking of backing it with flannel. Thanks. |

I have made the charity Quilts for Kids 4 patch pattern a few times. It is cute and goes together quickly. I have also made ones with just rows of fabric horizontally or vertically with border strips around for a quilt that showcases the cute fabric. |

Warm Wishes makes a beautiful quilt. Here's the one I use for baby quilts but I don't think I have a pattern. It's just random 6" squares and 6x12 rectangles put together, using 2.5" strips from a jelly roll. Really fast and easy. Kate |
Thank you for all your suggestions. I'll be sure to post when I get it done. |

Kate, I love that little quilt. It looks so comfy cozy! I think I over-quilted my first baby quilt and it seems a little stiff to me. I hope you don't mind my copying your photo so I can study it. Best Wishes - Corinne |
I don't mind at all. I'm sorry I don't have a pattern to share with you, but if you have graph paper I'm sure you can work it out. I can't remember what I used for the batting but I think it was a very low loft poly, although it might have been flannel or even bamboo. (I really need to keep better notes!) The backing is Minky so the quilting was minimal stitch-in-the-ditch with a few curvy lines for interest. I love using Minky but for me it's difficult to free motion quilt on. Kate |
I finished the quilt this weekend! I only stitched-in-the-ditch because I haven't practiced free motion yet. It turned out to be kind of scrappy because nothing was planned ahead of time. I had to fussy cut the forest critter pieces but was short of fabric, so couldn't cut them exactly the same. I didn't have enough fabric for a border and ended up piecing the binding. I was wrong about the baby's due date and he was born two weeks ago, so I am only a little late. It felt so good to complete something! Kate, I love the baby quilt you did. It's amazing how a few curvy lines add so much. |
Superb selection of fabrics - absolutely adorable. I love the print. I'm sure this quilt will bring many comforting moments to both Mom and baby. Well done! |
- Posted by luvtosharedivs (My Page) on Tue, Apr 24, 12 at 10:02
Absolutely adorable, Bev! I don't think it looks scrappy at all. It appears to be a disappearing 9-patch pattern very well planned, with the small dark (teal?) squares placed diagonally, opposite in every row. Your fussy cut critters are darling. I'm sure baby (and mommy) will love it. Congratulations on a job well done! Julie |
I love the woodland creatures fabric! Cute, cute, cute!!! Great use of the D9P! Super job!!! Thanks so much for following up and posting pictures of the finished product. Kate |
Bev, your quilt is charming. And the backing is so perfect for the top. Is is flannel? Very nice work. It will be treasured for sure. |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Tue, Apr 24, 12 at 15:49
Your quilt is very cute! baby will get many years of enjoyment out of this quilt. Job well done! |
Thanks everyone. The backing is flannel. I have Who's in the Forest fabric in pink for another baby blanket, but no female babies expected so that will sit in the stash for awhile. |
Nice job. I love D9P and was thinking about suggesting it but the others were such good ideas I didn't. Baby will love it. TFS |

Bev, awesome job on that quilt! Lol, it makes me want to go snuggle up in a blanket for the rest of the evening! |

While it doesn't appear to be an outright Apple-Chevrolet partnership, Chevy has announced that their new Sonic and Spark models will offer integration with Apple's Siri. Called "Eyes Free Integration," Chevy's system will enable iPhone-toting drivers to initiate and answer phone calls, interact with their calendars, play music, hear transcriptions of incoming text messages, and compose outgoing text messages all by voice.
As per the context in which it's meant to be used, one of the system's touches purposely violates a cardinal rule of user interface design: Visual feedback. With Eyes Free, the phone avoids lighting up when interacted with, instead remaining dark to prevent your tendency to look at things that suddenly illuminate, so that you'll keep your peepers on the road.
Two Eyes-Free-compatible apps/hacks we'd like to see:
1. The KITT voice mod, which continually refers to you as "Michael" no matter what your name is.
2. An app that enables you to call out the license plate of the car in front of you that just cut you off. It automatically dials that driver's phone, and you can tell them exactly what you think of them without needing to roll the window down to yell it.
"Where did you learn to DRIVE, you #@#$%*?

We will post the location and time as the date draws closer on our calendar and in our upcoming events. Be sure to subscribe to our Blog so you don't miss out.
In the past we have taken advantage of having hundreds of our members in attendance and offered educational seminars on topics such as landscaping with native plants for lake-front properties with master gardener Pam Keene, Lake Lanier fishing techniques with professional fishing guide Ken Studivant, and boating safety with U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Public Education office Mike Atkinson. Some of our State Congressmen have joined us and addressed the group, as well.
LLA has enjoyed esteemed speakers in the past, such as Major General Todd T. Semonite, Commander, South Atlantic Division, US Army Corps of Engineers. As the guest speaker, he addressed issues related to the Apalachicola Chattahoochee Flint River basin (ACF) and to Lake Lanier's water levels.
We look forward to seeing everyone at our Annual Meeting and sharing valuable information.

[248] Comparison of Genomic Instability in Mucinous A and B Carcinomas of the Breast.
Alma Sanchez-Salazar, Shelly R Gunn, I-Tien Yeh. UTHSCSA, San Antonio, TX
Background: Mucinous carcinomas of the breast are tumors in which at least one third of the volume of tumor is comprised of extracellular mucinous secretions. Type A is defined as a paucicellular tumor with no neuroendocrine differentiation, whereas type B is defined as hypercellular with neuroendocrine differentiation. Previous molecular analyses have found mucinous tumors to have a low level of genomic instability. The purpose of this is study is to compare the level of genomic instability of type A to type B mucinous carcinomas.
Design: 25 mucinous breast carcinomas with fresh frozen tissue were retrieved from our files. The cases were reviewed for H&E histological features of type A or B and estrogen and progesterone receptor expression by immunohistochemistry. Representative sections of the tumors were dissected from the normal tissue present in the blocks and subjected to microarray comparative genomic hybridization using Agilent (Santa Clara, CA, USA) human genome CGH microarray kit 105A. Analyses were performed using Agilent genomic workbench 5.0 software.
Results: All mucinous carcinomas were estrogen and progesterone receptor positive. 24 of the cases were pure mucinous carcinomas (19 type A and 5 type B) and one mixed mucinous and ductal carcinoma (type A). 11/20 type A and 4/5 type B mucinous carcinomas showed a complex level of genomic instability with three or more (up to 12) of the chromosomes showing instability. There were no abnormalities found in 4 type A and 1 type B tumors. The remainder showed a low level of genomic instability (5 type A). Of the most complex cases (showing 7 or more chromosomes with genomic instability), 4 were type A and 3 were type B mucinous carcinomas. Chromosome 1 was most frequently abnormal: 1p partial loss (2 type A, 2 type B) and 1q full gains (6 type A and 2 type B). Chromosome 16 showed q loss in 8 cases, including 7 type A and 1 type B. 4 cases showed concurrent 1q gain and 16q loss, including 3 type A and 1 type B.
Conclusions: There does not appear to be a difference in genomic instability between type A and B mucinous carcinoma with both types showing a range of low to high genomic instability. 4/25 mucinous carcinomas, including 3/20 type A and 1/5 type B, showed the classical pattern of low-grade invasive ductal carcinomas, with concurrent 1q gain and 16q loss.

We're lucky to live in the New York metro area, a virtual melting pot of cultures. So if your budget doesn't allow for family jaunts to India, South Africa, and other exotic locales, you can still introduce your kids to the world in their own backyard, where ethnic restaurants, intriguing celebrations, and other educational opportunities abound. Here, some ideas:
Try a new restaurant in your area. Here are a few suggestions.
…Or make your own!Dedicate a night each week or each month to a new cultural cuisine and have your kids help you whip it up. You can even go the extra mile and put on some ethnic tunes to help spark your culinary inspiration and decorate the table with items representing the cuisine's origins.
Great films, whether they're animated or shot documentary-style, allow us to peek into the lives and minds of others. If you can't travel to a far-off country, a well-made movie can show you a slice of what life is like there. Queue up a foreign film on Netflix (we recommend checking commonsensemedia.org/movie-lists/foreign-films-for-kids for age-appropriate recommendations) or check this out:
New York International Children's Film FestivalManhattan plays host to the nation's largest film festival for kids and teens each year. Typically held in March, this Oscar-qualifying festival spans several theaters across the boroughs and lasts several weeks. Last year's festival featured more than 100 of the best children's films from across the globe. Dates and films are TBA for this year; check gkids.com for updates.
When you open your home to an international student, your kids have the opportunity to learn first-hand about another culture from someone close to their age. If you're interested in hosting an exchange student, check out these organizations:
AFS-USA800-237-4636afsusa.orgAFS students come to the U.S. from more than 90 countries. Families are needed to host international students for six to 12 weeks while the organization works to find them permanent homes in the community.
Center for Cultural Interchange800-634-4771cci-exchange.comCCI students hail from 50 countries. Hosts house these exchange student for five to 10 months while they study at a nearby high school.
International Cultural Exchange Services800-344-3566icesusa.orgICES host families are matched with exchange students after completing an application and home visit.
Take your children to one of these events in the New York metro area.
Passport to Fun
When you can't take your kids there, why not have there come to you? With the Little Passports activity-in-a-box kits—delivered to your home every month—your children are treated to geographic learning adventures. After the initial welcome kit (which includes treats such as a colorful wall map, disposable camera, and a photo scavenger hunt), subsequent packages include a travel journal jam-packed with activities themed around two different states or one foreign country, projects, stickers, and even a code to access online extras (games, printable images, and more). Little Passports USA and World editions are available for three-month, six-month, and 12-month subscriptions (Ages 5-10; $10.95/month plus shipping; littlepassports.com).

Tephra (volcanic ash) layers are now an invaluable tool in palaeoenvironmental studies, as well a record of volcanic activity. The data produced by such research can be difficult to handle and disseminate. Tephrabase is a database of tephra layers found in Iceland, north-west and northern Europe, Russia and central Mexico. Details on the location, name, age and geochemistry of tephra layers are stored in the database, as well as information about relevant volcanoes and volcanic systems. A comprehensive reference database is also included. A new Laacher See supplementary data collection has been added.
Tephrabase has been redesigned. I hope that this makes it easier to get at the data you want to find. This is on an ongoing process and new features, including the automatic creation of tephrostratigraphic profiles and calculations of sediment accumulation rates for Iceland locations will be added shortly.
The data stored in Tephrabase can be broadly divided into five main categories. As Tephrabase develops these will change and it is hoped that connections can also be made to other online systems.
Details of the tephra layers published in "Newton, A.J., Metcalfe, S.E., Davies, S.J., Cook, G.T., Barker, P. and Telford, J.T. 2005 Late Quaternary and Holocene volcanic record preserved in lakes of Michoacan, central Mexico. Quaternary Science Reviews 24 91-104" have been uploaded. This includes 32 tephras from 5 sites and 226 major element microprobe analyses.[28/07/2014]
Details on 2606 tephra layers have been added from over 200 profiles have been added to Tephrabase. These came out of Richard Streeter's PhD project and full details of the results can be read in "Streeter, R. and Dugmore, A. (2014) Late-Holocene land surface change in a coupled social ecological system, southern Iceland: a cross-scale tephrochronology approach. Quaternary Science Reviews 86, 99-114". A further 208 geochemical analyses of a selection of these layers has also been uploaded. [28/07/2014]
Details of 26 tephra layers found at Borge on the Loftoten Islands, Norway. This includes over 200 geochemical analyses. More details can be found in Pilcher, J., Bradley, R. S., Francus, P. and Anderson, L. (2005) A Holocene tephra record from the Lofoten Islands, Arctic Norway. Boreas 34, 136-156. [30/07/2014]
In order to help people donate data to Tephrabase, I have created a Word file (form) or PDF file which contain details about the data required. Please download either of the files and either fill in the form or use them to help you include all the information required. Any comments or questions welcome. Please email any data to me, firstname.lastname@example.com. I intend to create a more flexible online system in the future.

In order to beef up its breakfast offerings, IHOP, one of DineEquity Inc. ( DIN )'s breakfast oriented brands, recently collaborated with The Quaker Oats Company to develop a new blend of oatmeal. This new breakfast item will be launched in October, featuring three different types of oats in exclusive flavors. Chicago-based Quaker Oats has been owned by Pepsico Inc. ( PEP ) since 2001. This the first time Quaker Oats formed an alliance with a Family Dining restaurant chain to create a branded item. Breakfast has accounted for nearly 60% of the U.S. restaurant industry and remains a key driver of traffic growth in recent years. Thus, both DineEquity and Quaker Oats plan to capitalize on their respective product development talents to create a differentiated line of oatmeal within the burgeoning healthy breakfast category. We believe that the deal is strategically positive for the parties. Breakfast is considered to be IHOP's forte as consistent with its brand identity "Everything You Love About Breakfast." This indicates that both the companies operate almost under the same vertical. While the deal enables Quaker Oats to leverage IHOP's industry-leading positioning at breakfast, IHOP will also reap the benefits from Quaker's more than 100 years of experience in healthy breakfast service. Further, the association paves the way for Quaker Oats to present itself through a different business segment. In addition to this Oatmeal blends, DineEquity has been striving persistently to give the American breakfast experience at IHOP a new meaning through menu innovation, strategic advertisement, technology and operational improvements. On the menu front, management is discarding underperforming items and opting for value and innovative breakfast options. It is presently on a test phase with new menu items, some of which will likely hit the market later this year. We believe that the new oatmeal offerings are one of them. DineEquity currently carries a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term Hold rating. We are also maintaining our long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

I suggest you try the following command, as it should output details on the manufacturer's ID (manfid) and maybe chipset manufacturer:
/sbin/cardctl ident
You can then do websearches, etc. with more info. to see if others have encountered/resolved this problem with this EXACT chipset you have.
- you also didn't mention the model number of your card. That will probably help you when doing websearches too.
Below is a pretty good cross-reference table of pcmcia card:

New Dewey Beach commissioner resigns A new town commissioner in Dewey Beach is resigning after less than two months in office. The Daily Times reports that Commissioner Ellen Danaher cited health concerns in a letter to commissioners released this month. Mayor Diane Hanson says there is no deadline to fill the seat. The interim council member would fill an almost two-year term. Hanson says the council will likely not have a decision until the new year. Danaher has been a Dewey Beach resident since the town's incorporation in 1981. |

Cable line
Cable Up
Industrial: The Cable Up Industrial line features a high-performance, yet rugged combination of low capacitance AES/EBU quality cable. The connectors are fitted with gold plated contacts for reliable professional use at a competitive price. The Industrial line has a one-year unconditional, no questions asked replacement warranty and a limited lifetime warranty covering defects in material and workmanship.
Anti-slip cable pad
Middle Atlantic Products
ASP-OWP: The ASP-OWP Series anti-slip cable pads are designed to improve cable management and performance in broadcast applications. When cable is dropped in from the top of racks and enclosures where hook-and-loop or wire-tie-type fasteners are used, the weight of the cable creates a significant and often problematic strain on the tie, connection and horizontal to vertical transition points. The pads have been designed to remove close to 40 percent of the cable weight off the tie point, while reducing pull tension where cables are fastened to meet or exceed cable manufacturers' requirements. These unique pads eliminate the need to over tighten the cable fastener to the point where it deforms or kinks the cables, an issue that can interrupt critical broadcast transmissions.
Computer audio interface
BB2: Primarily designed to address the needs of radio editors, the BB2 is a simple user interface that provides a standard eight streams of audio playback and editing and concentrates on the crucial task of rapid editing capabilities. Full interchange with more sophisticated Sadie systems is included and the unit can be upgraded to the more fully featured PCM2 software. Full interchange with other more powerful Sadie Series 5 systems, in addition to other manufacturer's equipment, is provided to allow projects to be migrated to larger systems when required. The hardware provides two channels of input which can be switched between microphone, line or digital (S/PDIF), and two channels of output: line, headphones and digital (S/PDIF). The unit is connected to the host PC via USB2.0.

I am very picky about my bibles. I own two Cambridge Concords in calfskin and goatskin, R.L. Allan Ruby edition in highland goatskin, R.L. Allan NIV bold type reference edition in highland goatskin, R.L. Allan Cambridge Crystal edition in goatskin, R.L. Allan TNIV in highland goatskin, and an ESV Journaling bible in calfskin.
The R.L. Allan Longprimer in Atlantic Blue Calfskin (53BL) 400th anniversary edition beats them all. There are positive and negative aspects to all my bibles but I can not find anything negative to say about this bible. It is perfect for me. It is easy to read, large font, text type is consistent, contrast is excellent, 32 pages of lined notepaper in the back, good concordance, proper names, 24 pages of maps, the full yapp calfskin leather, and the bible does all the bible yoga of any highland goatskin that I have seen. When you throw down 10 to 50 chapters a day
quality, legibility, comfort, durability, flexibility, and text that is easy on the eyes is of great importance and the R.L. Allan Longprimer 53BL delivers on all counts.
It is a unique bible of the best quality. The shade of the blue calfskin binding and blue under gold page edges is awesome. The color scheme is a great compliment to the Longprimer and makes the text even more crisp and clear. Some may find it big, cumbersome, or too heavy but I think it is perfect in every aspect. Did I mention that this bible is a thing of beauty? Well done R.L. Allan! Well done evangelicalbible.com! I could not be happier. The quality and beauty of this bible just draws you to it and inspires you to pick it up and spend time in Gods word
and that is what it is all about. Gods word is beautiful and the experience of spending time in His word is enhanced by this excellent edition.

The two best things about Napa: the wine and the weather.
The two worst things: the old people and the tourists.
The Sunburst Hotel, now open in Calistoga, provides the perfect solution. It's new enough that the tourists haven't caught on yet, and cool enough to keep you from feeling like you're on vacay with your parents (or the Griswolds).
This intimate, 50-room boutique hotel reminds us of The Ace in Palm Springs...if the Ace sat on top of a geothermal hot spring in the Napa Valley. The Sunburst has that same retro-modern vibe (bright colors, pod chairs, origami-esque light fixtures), but with a pool filled with magic instead of chlorine.
Okay, that might be an oversell.
Still, the mineral water pumped into all the hotel's pools and hot tubs via the geothermic well will make you feel pretty awesome. Especially if you're recovering from a long day of wine tasting.
As for their prophylactic anti-hangover qualities, we'll leave that up to you to determine.
Price: From $175/night

WoW Rookie: When Rookie Lane crosses Raider Boulevard {WoW}
May 20th 2010 1:41PM I could not agree more. The problem is when the competitor decides that his type is 'RIGHT' and the casual suffers for it. I can relate to the casual because I still LOVE enjoying the dungeons and raids and such. (I popped out of vent to hear the Lich King's roleplay before combat :P) My best suggestion is to ENJOY yourself and don't let some hardcore raider-elitist dick type ruin YOUR time.
P.S. enjoy epic wipes and fails...they can be awesome.

One glaring, huge, nasty problem there... Best startegy for pvp is kill the healer; if you have a raid boss plus the other faction you end up with two groups that both fail pretty instantly. Once the healers go down the tank goes down boss wins. Or, you defend yourself against the other team... boss continues to bludgeon raid, death ensues...
I don't know if you can mix that many mechanics together and still come out clean, which is what Blizz was saying they wanted.

BLOOMINGTON (AP) — Martha Hoover and Joyce Harding don't even remember sending a Christmas card to a U.S. soldier in Vietnam 46 years ago.
But the soldier never forgot it.
In fact, the card so touched his heart that he still has it in his possession, safely tucked away in a shoebox on a shelf in his den.
The soldier's name is Bob Wylie, now a 73-year-old retired family practice doctor living in Bloomington with his wife, Nancy.
In 1966, Wylie was 27 years old and stationed at an evacuation hospital about 12 miles outside Saigon.
When December arrived, he knew he would soon be spending Christmas apart from his wife of two years, who was living with her parents in Griffith.
"It was going to be my first Christmas away from family," he told The Herald-Times. "I was lonely. We all were."
Then, just a few days before Christmas, Wylie was handed a Christmas card signed by two women he didn't know. Their hand-written message inside the card said they were members of the Walnut Street Christian Church in Bloomington and wanted to "express our appreciation for what you are doing for all of us. God bless you."
Wylie was sitting at the bar in the officer's club when he read the card, feeling profoundly comforted as he savored the simple words.
"I thought it was so nice of them to do that — to send a card of encouragement to someone they didn't know 12,000 miles away," he said. "I remember thinking that someday, after I got out of Vietnam, I might want to look them up and personally thank them."
Years passed, and Wylie forgot about his resolve. But a month ago, while home recovering from hip surgery, he decided to open a shoebox containing dozens of love letters he and Nancy had exchanged during his two years in Vietnam. That's when he came across the card, still well-preserved after all these years.
Donning his sleuth hat, Wylie called Sherwood Oaks Christian in Bloomington, where he and Nancy attend, and left a message asking Tom Ellsworth, the church's pastor, to give him a call.
"When Tom called and I asked him if he knew anything about the Walnut Street Christian Church, he said Sherwood Oaks Church used to be that church," Wylie said.
"I then asked him if he knew Martha Hoover and Joyce Harding and, if so, whether they were still alive. He said they were not only alive but charter members of the church and still very active in the congregation."
Wylie asked Ellsworth if he would ask his secretary to call the two women, give them Wylie's phone number, and ask them to call so he could thank them for the small card they'd sent him nearly a half century ago.
Hoover was the first to get the call from the church secretary.
"I cried," she said. "What touched me was that something so little as a Christmas card meant so much to somebody. It reminded me that you never know the impact of the little things you do."
Hoover then called Wylie and enjoyed a long conversation.
A few hours later, Harding called Wylie as well, and the two of them made a startling discovery.
"I told him his name sounded familiar," Harding said. "As we talked we realized we both used to hang out at the Juke Box on Washington Street while we were in high school. That was the big teen hangout back then."
Last Sunday, Wylie and Nancy met Harding and Hoover in the Sherwood Oaks Church lobby, where Wylie showed them the card that had long ago faded from their memories.
He also reminded them how they'd gotten his mailing address — showing them the Dec. 4, 1966, issue of the Sunday Herald-Times that contained the names and addresses of dozens of U.S. soldiers fighting in Vietnam, along with a request to send them Christmas cards.
"I'm so happy I found them," Wylie said. "I thought they might have been old ladies when they sent me the card in 1966 and were dead by now. Thankfully I was wrong. They are very much alive."

Just because it's an 800 Plus series Bosch dishwasher, doesn't mean it's made in Germany. This one specifically states: made in Germany... 24" Panel Ready Dishwasher |

Funny! I recently asked the opposite question: which Bosch dishwashers are the new 3rd shelf models made in the USA. I understand they are essentially the same only larger (taller). I got very few definitive responses. It is my impression that all 800 plus models are German made (SHV9. SHV8, and SHV7). I wish someone with direct knowledge of the Bosch line would fill us in. |
The four models at the top of the line that are advertised with 38 or 39 dBA sound levels are made in Germany; those that are 40 dBA or above are American. Other than being slightly quieter, the only added feature the German machines have are lower racks that allow every second peg to be folded down (rather than having to choose all up or all down) so that large bowls and the like will fit between the now widely-spaced tines. As useful as that is, for me it wouldn't be worth losing almost 2" of front-to-back depth in all three racks, as well as an additional $400 over the 40dBA US-made 800+ models. |

My 42 dBA says Made in Germany. And it doesn't have that "every other" fold down rack. But then, I just remembered it's an SHX not SHV, and I believe not available after a few months ago... |

I was referring to just the current lineup introduced in summer 2013. They added some new features at the time including the every-other-peg fold-down rack, interior lighting, and some adjustable sections on the top/3rd rack. The Bosch sister brands Thermador and Gaggenau still use the German-style shallower (front-to-back) tub and racks; not sure where they're made. They still have a few features not found on the Bosch, such as a lower rack that can be set up to hold two rows of tall glasses or wine glasses and a third row of cups on the lower rack, on the higher-end Thermadors. This pic also shows the every-other folded tines (behind the utensil basket) which are now available on the high-end German-built Bosch DWs too. |

Gotcha. Yeah I bought mine in the spring and saw shortly thereafter that it had been discontinued. Interesting that they made changes to the top and bottom racks. In my opinion, on mine, it's the middle rack that needs a major redesign! |

My Bosch DW is being delivered today, along with the rest of my appliances. It sounds like it's one of the American-made ones -800 series but the db is 44 I think? Anyway, we were recently staying with friends and they had a newish Bosch DW (I don't know what model) and the bottom rack "fell off" every time you pulled it out. I'm going to go nuts if mine does that! |
- Posted by nerdyshopper (My Page) on Sat, Dec 7, 13 at 15:11
I just went to Bosch.com and they give the 9PT models as 34 1/8 tall X23 9/16 wide and 22 7/16 deep. The 7PT and 8PT models are 33 7/8 tall X23 9/16 wide X 23 7/8 deep. I guess that means only the 9 series are made in Germany now. There is not as much difference in the volume as I expected unless the inner demensions are different relative to outer on various 800 plus models. |

SJ - On mine there's not a real hard stop at the end of the track, but there's a stop nonetheless. If I hadn't happened to have mine go askew a few days ago I wouldn't have even known what you are talking about. Nothing to worry about. Just glide the rack out calmly, don't try to launch it across the kitchen! |

Tina, could it be mealy bug? What type of plants have this bug/?? If you type mealy bug in your seach engine, they'll be pictures.. One way to rid these bugs, w/o using harsh chemicals is by swiping the leaves off w/rubbing alcohol..Swipe w/cotton balls or Q-tips. Mealy are terrible bugs..they suck juices from the plant, and are also very contageous. I hope I'm wrong..Toni |
Could it be the spital(sp) bug? It's got many little bubble like wet things in a clump (like foam). They don't cause any harm. I usually get these on my phlox in early summer. I don't even bother with them. Kat |

Clevelanders are being invited to a rally and reception to welcome home the community's Run to Boston team. The rally is being planned for Saturday morning, April 26, 9 to 10 a.m. on the Courthouse Plaza.
Janey Cooke, whose daughter Britney is one of the runners, is coordinating the event and said all the runners will be back home next weekend and the special event to officially welcome them home will be staged on the same spot where a send off was held. Details of the morning are now being formulated and be announced later this week.
"We thought it would be great for Clevelanders to rally together, welcome our runners home and hear some of the amazing stories that are being lived each day along the way to Boston," said Mrs. Cooke. "We hope people will line the streets and join at the Courthouse Plaza for this special celebration."
Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland and County Mayor D. Gary Davis will honor each of the Boston team members.

When the short ribs are very brown on all sides, remove them from the pan. Drain the fat, coat the bottom of same pan with fresh oil and add the pureed vegetables. Season the vegetables generously with salt and brown until they are very dark and a crud has formed on the bottom of the pan, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the crud and let it reform. Scrape the crud again and add the tomato paste. Brown the tomato paste for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat if things start to burn.

Analysis: Microsoft offers "I'm a PC" retort that falls flat
After canning Seinfeld, Microsoft is now starting stage two (planned all along, they say) of their campaign with a new series of I'm a PC ads by the Crispin, Porter + Bogusky ad agency. As is clear from the John Hodgman look-alike at the start of the ads, they're supposed to be a direct response to Apple's Get a Mac campaign that's been running since 2006.
It almost goes without saying that it's rather sad for one of the richest companies in the world to stoop to this level of reaction. But I think one of things that's interesting here is the difference between the central motifs of the respective ad campaigns. What Get a Mac suggests is that your Mac is your kinda cool, but laid-back and easy-going friend that'll help you get things done. In other words, your Mac is your friend, not who you yourself are.
On the other hand, the I'm a PC ads say exactly that: you (the user) are a PC. Who the heck would want to be that? What they're trying to maintain is that PC users are unfairly being stereotyped as besuited, boring, glasses-wearing losers. But with the repeated exclamation "I'm a PC," the ads actually suggest a kind of Borg-like insistence that I as a user have to be assimilated into my computer.
In short, Microsoft and its ad agency still don't get it. We Mac-heads don't see ourselves as all being Justin Long (or, heaven forbid, wanting to be Justin Long). I can proudly say I'm not a Mac, and I'm not really planning to become one either. Or to put it another way: I use a Mac in no small part because I don't want to be a computer (Mac or PC).
What's your take?
(The three ads can be seen on YouTube: Pride, Not Alone, and Stereotype.)
