November 27, 2012: Conference Call Teach-Ins
- Fiscal Cliff Conference Call Teach-Ins
- Nov 27 11AM & 7PM
We've got five weeks to get Congress to put regular people first for a change. Join us Tuesday for a telephone teach-in about the fiscal cliff, the statewide campaign to end the Bush tax cuts for the top 2%, and how you can get involved!
Two options:
11:00 am – Tuesday, November 27th – Click here to RSVP: http://myaccount.maestroconference.com/conference/register/MZRQTMIOIES0X1W
7:00 pm – Tuesday, November 27th – Click here to RSVP: http://myaccount.maestroconference.com/conference/register/ZB6Y489VSC3ILS
This year's election was about demanding fairness and accountability from government. We won't sit still while Wall Street and the super-rich rig the system.
What happens next will test the power of our progressive movement. We won the election.
Now we'll be fighting to:
* End the Bush Tax Cuts for the top 2% (stopping an average $130,000 tax cut for millionaires)
* Protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid from any cuts
* Create good-paying jobs to help rebuild our economy
For the next five weeks, we'll need you to make phone calls to Congress, join us at events and rallies, write to your local newspapers and post to Facebook and Twitter.
It's all hands on deck — for the next five weeks — to make sure we win the most important budget fight in decades.
After years of right-wing members of congress holding the interests of working families hostage, we now have the upper hand.
It's up to us.
Please join us on Tuesday at either 11:00 am or 7:00 pm to get involved.

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 578 - 28 January, 2004 Written Answers - Cycle Facilities. Mr. Cuffe Mr. Cuffe 985 143. Mr. Cuffe asked the Minister for [985] Transport if his Department is considering submissions for the introduction of a special leisure and commuting cycle route along the sea-front in Dublin Bay from Sandycove to Sutton; the way in which the funding for such a project could be provided; and the agency which will be responsible for its co-ordination and completion. [2158/04] Mr. Brennan Mr. Brennan Mr. Brennan:The S2S — Sutton to Sandycove — proposal referred to by the Deputy involves the provision of a 22 km promenade and cycle way around Dublin Bay from Sutton to Sandycove, with links to the city centre. The plan entails linking the existing and planned walkways and cycle ways around the bay in a co-ordinated fashion by construction of the missing elements and upgrading some of the existing facilities. I am supportive, in principle, of the concept and following a meeting with one of the project promoters last year, requested that the Dublin Transportation Office allocate funds from its traffic management grants towards a feasibility study of the proposal. I also wrote to the relevant local authorities — Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council and Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council — and to Irish Rail, to seek their support for this concept and investment in a feasibility study as soon as possible. The DTO is on the steering committee of the project, which is chaired by the Dublin Regional Authority, along with representatives from the Dublin Docklands Development Authority, Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council, and Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council. I expect preliminary design to get under way shortly. Dáil Éireann 578 Written Answers Cycle Facilities. Questions 20040128 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Main Breaker vs. Main Lug: What's the Difference?
Chuck Ross
Load centers are the gateways for a residential electrical distribution system, housing the breakers that protect connected circuits from the damage electrical faults can cause. Load centers come in two varieties – main breakers and main lugs – with an important difference in capabilities that contractors and distributors should understand.
Main breakers are located at the electrical-service entrance and, along with individual circuit breakers, these units feature a main breaker capable of disconnecting the entire load center, including all connected circuits, at a single switch point. Main lugs, however, don't include a main breaker switch, only individual circuit breakers.
Because main lugs lack primary overload protection, they're typically used as distribution panels downstream of a main breaker. As such, manufacturers and contractors alike might also refer to them as add-on, secondary or downstream panels. Applications might include a home workshop or other discreet area of a home where connected loads are large enough to require their own circuits. Additionally, main lug load centers can be fed from metering equipment in multi-unit apartment buildings, so renters could have access to branch circuit breakers within their individual units.
In some cases, it might be possible to use a back-fed circuit breaker and retainer clip to convert a main lug load center to serve as a main breaker. Alternatively, some manufacturers offer load centers designed for easy conversion from one style device to the other. For example, Siemens PL series load centers can be converted from main lug to main breaker, and back again. The company's ES series load centers also can be converted to main lugs (but main lugs in this series cannot be converted to main breakers).

Hi everyone,
How useful would a 4.5 inch wide spice pull-out rack on the upper cabinets be?
thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I had a spice pull-out on my upper cabinets in my old kitchen, and it wasn't useful. The main problem was that a pull out that high was hard to see. It would have been much easier to see into a cabinet by either climbing on a cabinet or stool. The problem with a pull out at that height is that you can't see the top shelves very easily. This is hard for me to describe, but do a mock up of it and I think you'll get it. That said, I would not to let 4.5 in. go to waste in a small kitchen. You may get more use out of a regular door (rather than the rack.) That would still allow you to put spices inside or anything else. The benefit of a door rather than a pull out is that once you get to eye-level (by climbing on something!) you can see in quite easily. You could also shelves to create a vertical cabinet for a few trays. You'd be surprised at how much you can store in a small space. |
Depends on what would go there instead. Can you make another cabinet more useful by putting 4.5" more on one side? Would you basically be just using filler then instead? Do you actually have a bunch of those little spice jars? Do you have a layout you could share? |
I agree. I thought about the idea and KD didn't think a good idea for reasons listed. If your kitchen is small- try a spice stack. My DH gave me one for Christmas. BBB has a smaller one and we bought the larger one on-line. On iPhone in massive traffic jam with DH. Yes he is driving but needs my eyes. |
The cabinet beside the spice pull out can be made bigger instead, which I think is more usefull, as it was it was a narrow 11inches... Thanks everyone |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Fri, Oct 12, 12 at 19:09
A narrow 11" cab isn't very useful so would absolutely benefit from the extra 4.5"! |
- Posted by mamasheshe (My Page) on Fri, Oct 12, 12 at 22:25
Love the spice stack! I have two. Thinking of buying a third. |
Can you show a picture, mamasheshe? I have a 5 inch cabinet in my kitchen, and it's tight. I thought about a pull-out thing in it. It can't be anymore hard to see than it is now. The top shelf is almost useless. The bottom 2 shelves...one holds jar of peanut butter, the other the coffee container. |
Here is a picture of our Spice Stack Not a very good picture but it will give you the idea. Rules - -Something compact to hold a number of spices/herbs -Ability to use original containers - I was so tired of pouring from one bottle to another. -Easy to read the labels -Easy to use Just pull out the tray and drop it down - it stays in place - I still do so gingerly - but it is well balanced. |
Depends on how tall you are. I had a lower cab pull-out spice rack in one kitchen and found it too inconvenient to use. I'm 6'2" and can usually see stuff on top shelves, so I might like an upper pullout spice rack. |

Tennessee Emergency Management Agency officials said 30 courthouses and government buildings in the state received what they think was a threat which was automatically generated.
According to Dean Flener of TEMA's information office, nine West Tennessee counties, seven Middle Tennessee counties and 14 East Tennessee county courthouses were affected.
Tennessee became the fourth state to deal with similar bomb hoaxes. One targeted 28 courthouses in Oregon and similar threats were reported in Nebraska and Washington this month, according to Associated Press reports.
Bradley County Courthouse was evacuated after Tuesday's threat was received.
According to Bob Gault, media relations coordinator for the Bradley County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to aid court officers with the evacuation.
Jerry Johnson Jr. of Cleveland/Bradley County Emergency Management Agency said the evacuation and subsequent sweep of the courthouse went smoothly. Nothing was found during preliminary stages of the investigation.
"We learned a number of other courthouses across the state had received similar threats as well," said Gault after he spoke with interim Bradley County Fire Chief Troy Spence, who is also the CBCEMA director.
Flener said Shelby, Anderson, Clay, Cumberland, Bledsoe and other counties, as well as the city of Memphis, had all been cleared as of 1 p.m. Tuesday, and no threat of explosives was found at any of the courthouses.
Flener could not comment on which agency would be continuing the investigation (other than local law enforcement) into the statewide nature of the threats.
The complete list of counties affected include Benton, Carroll, Chester, Crockett, Decatur, Gibson, Hardeman, Hardin, Shelby, Bedford, Cannon, Cheatham, Clay, Franklin, Giles, Anderson, Bledsoe, Blount, Bradley, Campbell, Carter, Claiborne, Cumberland, Fentress, Grainger, Greene, Hamblen, Hamilton and Hancock, according to information from the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.

Juniors Battle High Winds on Final Day of Stroke Play at the PING Canadian Junior Match Play Championship
Aurora, Ont.
(July 26, 2011) – Day two of the
2011 PING Canadian Junior Match Play Championship
wrapped up this afternoon at St. Andrews Valley Golf Club in Aurora, Ont. As the final day of stroke play competition, juniors in each division were vying for spots in the match play portion of the event. High winds and difficult pin placements made it difficult for players later in the day, but many golfers improved on their day one total to jump up into the top sixteen.
Nicholas Quesnel of Sudbury, Ont. fired an even-par 72 to earn the No. 1 ranking in the Boys 14 & Under division. Sitting in fourth pace after the first round, Quesnel shot 2-under-par on the front nine en route to a 151 (+9) two-day total.
"I had more focus today," said Quesnel. "I tried to keep my game simple and hit a lot of greens and fairways. On No. 18, I sunk a 10-foot birdie putt to cap off a great day. Match play is definitely a different game so it should be a great experience for me."
Lawren Rowe of Victoria, B.C. finished at 152 (+10) grab the second seed.
"Anyone can beat anyone tomorrow," he said. "I have an advantage being the second seed and I hope to continue my consistent play in my match tomorrow."
Carter Simon of Sutton West, Ont. rebounded today with a 73 (+1) to claim the third seed at 153 (+11).
Owen Bates of Mississauga, Ont. held on to the top seed in the Boys 15-19 division. He shot a 77 (+5) today to finish at 146 (+2) after his impressive 69 (-3) yesterday. Alex Turner of Toronto remained in second place after a solid 75 (+3) to end one shot back at 147 (+5). Jamison Cass of Georgetown, Ont. moved up into the third seed at 149 (+7).
Cody Kotva of Barrie, Ont. is the fourth seed heading into tomorrow's matches and is looking forward to the unique competition of match play.
"If you have one bad hole, you can just forget about it and move on," he says. "I played pretty well these past two rounds and it should be a fun day tomorrow."
Claire O'Neil of Etobicoke, Ont. picked up the top seed in the Girls 11-19 division. She finished with a 160 (+18) two-day total. Candice Swartz of Georgetown, Ont. fired a 79 (+7) to earn the No. 2 seed at 161 (+19). Kiersten Klekner-Alt of Ottawa ended third at 162 (+20).
Morning matches begin at 7 a.m. Afternoon matches will start at 1:30. Spectators are encouraged to attend.

Internationals By Matt Scheiner Published June 11, 2007 Wonders Of The World Petrol
The Internationals, all the way from Belgium, do a decent job of capturing the vintage ska sound they're trying to emulate (imitating the Slackers in the process). Although ska bands were ubiquitous throughout the '90s, what made the "third wave" so appealing were the points of difference the groups had to offer—Internationals' Wonders Of The Word doesn't really provide anything new. With that said, there are some spirited jams on the album "Theme From 'Red Beauty Saloon'" is a fun arrangement with rock riffs and blazing organ, as is "Fuzzy" and "Need A Need." Wonders Of The World is almost entirely packed with instrumentals (the tracks featuring vocals are not even worth mentioning), some of which are put together with heavy Afro-beat horns, which is a nice change—but ska can get repetitive, and the Internationals don't do enough to mix things up.

F8 at boot gives me the option to boot from USB on my ASUS mobo, as well.
If yours doesn't, look at upgrading the BIOS if there is an upgrade available. Maybe that'll do it.oz

Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland has come under a bit of fire lately, mostly for his late game bullpen management, or mismanagement if you (like Miguel Cabrera) prefer.
However, as it is with any manager, Leyland has both good and bad characteristics. The marginal difference he makes relative to other managers is very difficult (or virtually impossible, depending on how one parses the situation) to measure. One thing beyond how he has chosen to use his relievers that has stood out to me is how he's kept his two catchers – Alex Avila and Gerald Laird – in a platoon through the postseason.
While Avila had a big home run versus the Oakland Athletics in the American League Divisional Series, neither catcher has hit all that well in the playoffs. Avila has put up a .222/.222/.444 slash line which only compares favorably to Laird's .111/.200/.111. Despite the shabby offensive outputs from both players, it remains surprising that they would find themselves in a platoon with one another. After all, Avila hit .295/.389/.506 (141 wRC+) last season, so platooning him (at least somewhat) this season likely isn't how most teams would've used him.
Yet it also shows at least a little bit of forward thinking. For one thing, despite catching in 133 games in 2011, by the time the playoffs rolled around, Avila could barely run due to knee problems — not a great thing for a catcher. So the Tigers probably went into the year knowing they needed a decent backup. Moreover, while Avila's offense in 2011 was outstanding by any standard, and even moreso for a catcher, the Tigers probably also knew that some regression was to be expected. Avila is not the sort of hitter who was going to maintain a .366 BABIP, and Comerica Park, where the Tigers play their home games, is generally pretty tough on left-handed hitters.
The player the Tigers brought in to spell Avila was their old friend Gerald Laird, a.k.a. One Man, Five Tools. Laird had a good season for Detroit in 2009 (primarily due to his defense), but in 2010 his bat fell from bad to horrific, and his glove dropped off, too. The Tigers let him walk and he signed on with St. Louis to be their backup catcher in 2011. Prior to the 2011 season, I wrote the following for the FanGraphs+ fantasy supplement about Gerald Laird:
If you're reading a fantasy profile for Gerald Laird, then you're either lost, incredibly bored, or in something like a 38-team NL-only league. "One Man, Five Tools" won't even help you much in a Bizarro league, as he's been signed to back up Yadier Molina in St. Louis. It's really too bad, since Laird can't run, hit for average or power, and yet used to get marched out there almost every day in Detroit (to be fair, he's a good defender). He's a Jason Kendall in training, except without the playing time. If that appeals to you, go nuts. Otherwise, go to bed, it's Gerald Laird.
Since he was backing up Yadier Molina, Laird only got 108 plate appearances, although obviously his .232/.302/.358 (77 wRC+) hitting was what carried the Cardinals to the postseason and the World Championship. But it actually did represent regression to the mean, at least for Laird. So the Tigers brought him back.
Every team needs a backup catcher, and spending $1 million on Gerald Laird was not going to kill the Tigers either way. Although the playing time difference is significant, in terms of fielding (controlling the running game and blocking pitches), Laird and Avila are probably roughly the same in overall true talent the last few years (2012, 2011, and 2010). One thing perhaps worth noting is that, at least prior to 2012, Avila was one of the better pitch framers in the league, while Laird was one of the worst. However, even if we peg the difference in true talent as 20 runs over an entire season (which would be high), Laird was only going to get into about a fifth of the games, anyway.
The main reason Laird made sense was becasue he's a right-handed hitter, and Avila is a lefty. As we saw with the success of this year's Oakland As, platooning is an old strategy that can be useful for maximizing production and roster space if done with the right players. Avila and Laird actually have larger than average observed platoon splits. Over the last few years, the average wOBA platoon split for left-handed hitters has been about ten percent, while for right-handed hitters it has been about seven percent. Avila's observed career split is just over 14 percent, and Laird's is just over nine percent.
If we just look at the season itself, the platoon (of course, it was not a "precise" platoon, but that is tough to do, especially with catchers needing a different kind of rest schedule) worked quite well. As expected, Avila regressed to a .327 wOBA. He had a .349 wOBA in 331 plate appearances versus right-handed pitchers, but only a .257 wOBA in 103 plate appearances versus lefties. Laird, on the other hand, had a .274 wOBA in 109 plate appearances versus lefties this season, while sporting a .369 wOBA versus righties in 82 plate appearances this season. Just as one would expect.
Wait, what? That's a misprint, right? Laird hit righties better this year? Yes, check it for yourself.
See, that's the thing about platoon splits – they're subject to all sorts of randomness. The big factor in this case is that Laird didn't even have 200 plate appearances this season, and only 82 of them were against southpaws. Thus, we invoke Voros' Law. Luckily for Tigers fans, Leyland did not over-react to this randomness. Although Laird somehow only managed a .274 wOBA versus lefties, that was still better than Avila's .257 this year. Again, one has to make these decisions based on true talent rather than a small sample of observed talent.
Using the method from The Book that's outlined here and applying it to the current Oliver true talent projections for Laird and Avila, the results are, well, pretty interesting. Oliver currently has Avila as a .340 wOBA true talent hitter, so I estimate his true talent versus righties to be .348 wOBA, versus lefties to be .310. That includes a lots of regression, though, as I regress his 300 career plate appearances versus lefties against 1000 of league average.
Laird has 764 plate appearances versus lefties, but righties are regressed against 2200 of league average. Oliver sees Laird's true talent as .289 wOBA, so my estimate for his wOBA versus righties is .282, and versus lefties .304. Wait another minute. Avila's projected wOBA versus soutpaws is better than Lairds? Does that mean Leyland made a mistake in platooning these guys?
Short answer: no. First of all, there are the usual qualifications about the uncertainty of projections in general. The Tigers might have different projections for the players. Perhaps there is scouting information the Tigers have or proprietary data that suggests an even a bigger split.
Those are the generic answers that would work in a vacuum, but this isn't a vacuum. It's a specific situation wherein Avila needed days off anyway (and he struggled with leg problems off and on all year), so why not try and maximize production (as much as the schedule allowed) by trying to get Laird in mostly against left-handed batters? The typical right-handed hitter sees lefties about 30 percent of the time, Laird saw more than half of his plate appearances against them.
If one thinks about maximizing Avila's (estimated) production versus righties, it doesn't look like they would have gained anything. But if, instead, one thinks of maximizing Laird's production versus lefties, it makes more sense. Laird was going to have to play after all, so why not get him in against lefties as much as possible. Well, okay, they probably did not gain much over just giving him a regular distribution of plate appearances — probably just a couple of runs. However, these sorts of things add up. Like batting order decisions , it probably isn't a huge deal by itself, but over the course of the season, it matters just about as much as anything else that we, as fans, might complain.
Of course, it remains unusual for teams to still use a backup catcher in the playoffs, as Jim Leyland has throughout the postseason. Given the platoon split projections above, and that, particularly once one considers pitch framing, Laird may not present a defensive advantage, either, it is fair to at least wonder if Leyland is making the right move in sticking with a platoon situation in the playoffs. I will admit that, at least statistically, it's a questionable move. However, it's not outlandishly awful. In fact, it's pretty close, and Avila's leg problems may mean he needs rest even at this point in the year.
Whatever else the Tigers could have done better this season, they made a smart move in using a platoon at catcher.

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are considering limiting employee health care flexible spending accounts. The health care reform legislation could include a back-door tax hike. Flexible spending accounts are currently tax free. Workers put money into the accounts to pay for dental work, co-payments and some medications. Currently, there is no cap on annual employee contributions, but proposed legislation would cap contributions at $2,500. That would limit the employee income tax exemption, and result in a tax increase. Lawmakers said this would raise more than $13 billion over the next ten years.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Mandy Blizzard
"German dishes are great because they require very few ingredients. This easy way to make pork chops is flavorful and easy to do. By breading the pork chops before you bake them it really locks in all the flavor. When it's finished you won't even need a knife, the pork will just fall from the bone."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 cups bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening (such as Crisco®), or as needed
4 bone-in pork chops
1 (32 ounce) package sauerkraut, undrained
1/2 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
We enjoyed this. I did elect to omit the bread crumbs for half my chops because of gluten intolerance of one of my guests, but that didn't seem to affect how well this turned out. My only other change was to add a minced clove of garlic to the sauerkraut onion mixture. Thanks, Mrs Blizzard!
Good enough to make on a regular basis without getting tired of it. It's simple, straightforward, and classic.

In 1974, the modernist architect Louis I. Kahn died alone and bankrupt in New York City's Pennsylvania Station, leaving behind myriad unfinished projects and a highly curious, illegitimate 11-year-old son. Now a highly curious adult, Nathaniel Kahn has deftly drawn a poignant blueprint of his father's life and works, accentuating archival footage with modern-day interviews (I.M. Pei and Frank Gehry are among the talking architectural heads). Alternately moved and angered by his father's history (Nathaniel and his two half-sisters each a child from a different mother grew up relatively near one another, but didn't meet until Louis' funeral), the budding documentarian ultimately erects a deeply personal monument to an enigmatic man who could tenderly illustrate a ''Book of Crazy Boats'' for his toddler son, then abandon him for months to design masterpieces like the Salk Institute in Southern California and the massive Bangladeshi Capital Complex in Dhaka.
EXTRAS A tantalizing, if frustratingly brief, post-screening Q&A session between the film-maker and the audience includes rare footage of Kahn discussing his craft.

Why are you passionate about health and wellness?
Ever since the Internet boom started I've thought that this technology could make the biggest difference in people's lives by transforming how they manage their health. So in 1999, I created a company called eDrugstore. It was an online retail drugstore supported by Microsoft's speedStart program for promising Internet start-ups. It turned into my first big lesson about the challenges of working within a highly regulated industry but it also got me hooked on the powerful intersection of technology and healthcare. I also find it tremendously rewarding knowing that my work is in support of clients doing wonderful research and development that sometimes results in miraculous drugs and treatments for debilitating diseases like cancer, MS, and diabetes. I had the opposite feeling in a previous job when I was architecting internal audit software for a giant investment bank.
What excites you about technology and its role in healthcare?
The most exciting thing for me about what technology has enabled for healthcare is the way that it has connected and empowered people. People with rare diseases that felt like they were alone and uneducated can now feel like they're part of a community, even if they're spread out across the country or around the world. And e-patients are now empowered with as much information about their disease and treatment options as the healthcare professionals that are helping them. That's an amazing achievement that was never before possible and that excites me!
What are your passions outside of work?
Outside of work I love spending time with my kids and family, traveling and taking pictures. I play Ultimate Frisbee with friends in the local sport and social club, but it's more for the latter than the former! Occasionally I get to relive my more adventurous youth spent skiing, scuba diving, mountain climbing, adventure racing, or sky diving, but not so much anymore.

Althea Gibson Honored at USTA
The USTA honored the legacy of Althea Gibson, the "African-American Mother of Tennis," with a special tribute at the US Open on Tuesday night, September 7 - the 46th anniversary of Gibson's second U.S. Championship.
The first African-American to enter the U.S. Championships, Gibson's social impact extended well beyond her significant accomplishments on the tennis court. Over an exquisite three-year period, she won 11 Grand Slams, including five singles titles-two at the U.S. Championships in 1957 and 1958. A pioneer, Gibson blazed a trail for tennis players-Arthur Ashe, Leslie Allen, Zina Garrison, Venus and Serena Williams-and inspired countless others in all walks of life. Gibson died September 28, 2003 at the age of 76 in East Orange General Hospital.
Pictured here left to right are: Bud Collins, Boston Globe writer, Zina Garrison, Fed Cup and Olympic team coach (1st African American in history to coach either team), tennis legend John McEnroe, Fran Gray, Althea Gibson Foundation spokesperson, Alan Schwartz, President of the United States Tennis Association, David Dinkins, USTA Board member and former New York City Mayor, Lee Hamilton, Executive Director, USTA, Arlen Kantarian, the US Tennis Association's chief executive for pro

Here's the warm and woodsy inside of Bronwyn, Tim Wiechmann's soon-to-open Central and Eastern European restaurant in Somerville's Union Square. Their rep tells Grub Street that it will be ready to open in mid-May, after months of build-up. The dishes harken back to Wiechmann's childhood and travels in Europe, and the restaurant is named for his wife, who's always a welcoming presence at his other restaurant, T.W. Food. We're excited! Are you?
Doesn't Bronwyn Look Cozy?
The new restaurant from the T.W. Food duo opens soon.

The other day while browsing in Barneys, I came across a gorgeous cardigan by a company called RE COLLECTION. With an unusual tuxedo lapel, the piece was so interesting that I decided to take note of the label and research it further for a possible Frisky post. Yet, when I sat down to Google "recollection clothing," the first thing that popped up was decidedly not the fancy label, but this, "Recollections: Historic, Romantic Clothing Reminiscent of Centuries Past." And here's why you'll love it.

Jul 3rd 2010 3:36PM Remember this is just a opinion;
For Starcraft 2 two of my friends got the beta invite for it on the first wave, now 2 of my other friends and me dint get it.
I did play the beta on the unknown wave after I had upgraded my computer prefrences to Xps m1530 with custom hardware.
Cataclysm Beta is announced and they both get it, 2 of my other friends and me dont get it.
I started to notice something, they both had a alienware laptops, both of them got it at the same time for above 2000 i remember. Now the other 3 of us have home computers, i also have a xps.
Now If u ask me blizzard only gives invite to people with supergood computers.
I can garuntee u if I upgrade my computer prefrences to the xps, ill get the inv.
SO blizz if this is true WTF.
Extra Info: We all made our accounts at about the same time in November 2009. WE all used to play other p.c. games, then suddenly switched to wow.
Remember its just a opinion.

The iPhone Effect
Now that we know an iPhone is headed our way, we should be asking ourselves how will this impact the industry and what will be the response from Microsoft and the rest of the software and hardware players in the mobile phone market.
Here are some of my thoughts. Before reading them, please be fore-warned that I am taking the success of the iPhone here to the extreme. While all of the ideas below have a foothold in reality, in practice only some of them are likely to occur and the degree of their realization may vary.
- Microsoft will have to create its own phone and will no longer be able to rely on third parties. This is just like they had to do with Zune in order to compete with the iPod, only this time it will happen a lot faster, maybe we will even get some announcements (not products though) before the end of 2007. They will not wait till the iPhone takes the market, like they did with the iPod, since they are now smarter (hopefully) and they have much more to loose. Regarding their Windows Mobile partners, well, we know already that they have no problem screwing their partners (PlayForSure anyone? Or is it SureNotPlay...).
- Microsoft's Windows Mobile partners should all dump Windows Mobile right now and switch to Access (the buyer of Palm OS and creator of a Linux based OS for phones). Since Windows Mobile will no longer be partner friendly, Palm OS may blossom again and its acquisition by Access may prove to be one of the best deals one could make. Of-course the iPhone will make them a niche player, focused mainly in enterprise applications along with Blackberry and Motorola's Good, nevertheless the enterprise market will offer enough growth to make them successful companies.
- Nokia will realize that the only Nokia device that can maybe compete with the new iPhone is the N800 Internet Tablet. They will have to integrate cellular capabilities into it, before the end of 2007 or it will be too late for them. They will also need to come up with a super cool user interface and to better leverage their touch screen. One possibility here is to fully embrace Yahoo Go and to build on it a fancier interface.
The only thing that will work for them is their open platform approach, which will stand in sharp contrast to the Apple's closed system and the new closed system from Microsoft. - Google and Yahoo will fight over who gets to put their web applications on the iPhone. Apple will be the big winner continuing to play them both and taking the best features from each. Apple will not allow neither Google Talk nor Yahoo Messenger to run on their phones, and instead they will use iChat, making it the number one IM tool on mobile devices, leaving AOL far behind.
- Danger (the maker of Sidekick) will fight hard to avoid chapter 11, since the iPhone is targeting their market so they will unfortunately be the first casualty. In fact their 2007 sales will likely decline sharply.
- Cisco will sue Apple over iPhone but this will blow away after a while and will not become an issue.
The "Apple-ization" of Microsoft will continue and will turn into a huge weakness for Microsoft. Microsoft is essentially moving the game into Apple's home court and this will cost them. As is the case with almost any huge monopoly, their own mistakes will defeat them or in this case their attempt to beat Apple in Apple's own game.
In the same time, we the consumers will become more and more dependent on closed and well-integrated platforms that are easier to use but are also less flexible and fully controlled by this new software and hardware monopoly called Apple. This is the dark side of Apple, and we the consumers will switch to the dark side, allowing Apple to become as big as Intel and Microsoft combined.
