Some Vista users that upgraded to iTunes 8 are seeing a fatal error crash -- known as the Blue Screen of Death -- when they plug in their Apple devices like the iPod or iPhone. Apple support is saying this could be due to the PC having "out-dated drivers for devices like Logitech QuickCam/Webcam products, Lexmark scanners, or media card readers."
Some people on the forum have found the clash to be with their HP printers. One support staffer is telling people to uninstall their Logitech software to make it work. But honestly... who wants to uninstall something you use just to make iTunes work? And there are people on the boards who say they don't have HP, Logitech or Norton software that still have the problem. Apparently Apple is working on a fix, but until that fix comes, it's probably best to stay with the older version of iTunes if you use a PC.
Check out the full discussion here on Apple's Support Message Boards.

Hey guys! Jenna of Dearest Love and I are beyond thrilled to see you again at our coffee date!
So, what's been going on this week?
This week has been a whole lot of craziness. I have been getting cancelled a lot (see in the "lows" section), but with all of these crazy cancellations, I have been spending an amazing amount of time with the girls. It is treasure, being with them. Especially on the days where I thought I wouldn't be with them. It is a huge blessing to snuggle and kiss and read books and go to the park and do all of those things when I thought I wouldn't see them for a whole entire day. Truly a treasure. I love it, so so so much.
(Remind me I said all of this on the crappy days where I want to pull my hair out!)
I've been getting cancelled a lot (see highs on why this isn't so bad). It kind of sucks – being in a position where you think you can help provide for your family financially and then realizing that you can't. I am supposed to work three days a week, but when my job calls me and says, "Never mind, we don't need you today," it sucks. That's income we relied on, income that was going to pay for a dance class or a soccer class or some new clothes.
It's weird, having fluctuating income when before it was reliable. I know that all things go through ebbs and flows, so for right now, I'm going to bask in being with the girls on the days when I least expected it.
What's new? Was your week good, bad, mediocre? How is your prayer life? How is your family life? How is work? GIMME ALL THE DETAILS.
Thanks, kisses

Suzuki SX4 5-speed in mountain states
Does anyone own a 5-speed SX4 and live in a mountain state like Colorado? I've test driven all the models (Sport, Rally & Convenience) and one thing I've noticed is that it's quite sluggish going up and down mountain sides, which kind of defeats the object of buying one for me. Is this normal or do I just need to downshift a lot sooner than I'm used to? Also, does anyone else find that wider bar around the windshield where the triangular window is really distracting?
kmaxine04 Posts: 18My car isnt a 5sp. But I live in the mountains..WV...its sluggish, deff. when coming through some parts of VA on the interstate. And I loved those windows at first... but they suck now when going around curves (since thats all thats out here) I've came close to wreckin it couple of times due to not being able to see (im only 5 foot lol) I have the first SX4 thats came out... before conv. and sport was avail. I think i've got the most miles too 20,000 since last november :-P
squirtee Posts: 15I agree with both of you on those little side windows! ( I am under 5' myself) and have even pulled out in front of a cop at an intersection - couldn't see "through" that side support! I also live in the hills of Pittsburgh, and if you get a good running start, she makes the hills just fine Sorry, I also still think its a great little car for the money- its a keeper!
machell Posts: 5I live in Alberta Canada and have a 5 speed. I have had some wonderful drives through to the coast. The car was fast til you reach the highest passes where there is less air to burn. Everybody else was having more trouble making speed than me, well there was this cobra mustang that left me behind 450hp I guess, but other than that. Keep the revs up. The car was surprising me and many others. As for the little windows I think they improve the visibility forward and low. All of the highly raked windcheating cars have this distraction.
stapletondoc Posts: 14My experience with my 2009 SX4 crossover touring automatic has been that it has to fight to keep up with traffic while climbing the Rockies (as well as in slight changes in highway grade on I-25)...with the engine growling like a beast....and not in a good way....it guzzles even more gas while climbing.....this car is very much a flatlander best suited for driving around town well under 45mph....perhaps the manual transmission is better...I do not know. What I do know is that I was a huge mistake for me to buy this car. I was much better off with my old car.

If a goods vehicle or passenger vehicle is in scope of the EU rules or AETR rules and it is fitted with a digital tachograph, the driver must be in possession of a driver card. When the driver is in control of the vehicle, even before moving his or her card must be inserted into the vehicle unit.
If a driver card is not inserted into the vehicle unit whilst the vehicle is being driven an offence is committed. The vehicle can still be driven but not lawfully and the vehicle unit will record the fact that no card is inserted and continue to record all relevant data for the vehicle movements.

The Introverted Mom's Guide To Getting Out
Did you see the HuffPo article that circulated the web last week all about introverts? Being a grade A introvert myself I thought it was kind of awesome, and really spot on! And as an introvert, I know how hard it can be to go out and connect with other moms. But mom support is kind of like soup for the soul so it's so important for us introverts to learn how to get out and make friends. So here's my guide to getting out, for the introverted Mama…
Put on a happy face!
1. Make time to recharge!
Your not going to be up for going out and spending energy on small talk and making friends if you're already on empty. So make it a priority to have some quiet down time each day. Maybe it's during nap time. Maybe it's just a new "quiet time" each day where all the kids have to play quietly in their own spaces. Whatever you've got to do to find time to recharge your tank, do it.
2. Say yes to 1 social thing a week
It may seem small, but it's a really great start. And it's not so overwhelming of a commitment that hopefully it won't stress you out too much. Remember that connecting with other moms is good for you, you'll find support and be able to share stories and strategies as well as having another set of eyes watching the little ones while they play.
3. Know your limits
I know that my limit is an hour or so out with our son in a social activity. Anything longer than that and the combination of watching him and caring for him while we're out and being social wears me completely out and I start to shut down and get really shy and quiet. So I plan to go to social outings for an hour and after that I allow myself the option to leave if I'm feeling worn out.
4. Balance is key!
If you know you're going out to a playdate or mom get-together in the afternoon, try to plan to have a quiet and peaceful morning. And visa-versa. Introverts need to balance out energy expenditure with time to restore our energy tanks.
5. Get outside
As an introvert it is so easy to go through a whole day without stepping outside the house. But being in the fresh air and sunshine can do wonders! It seems like it might be daunting but in fact, getting outside and enjoying nature can be extremely recharging. So try for a playdate at a splash pad or public park and soak up some vitamin D while you connect with other moms.

A Revolutionary Reading List: The Intellectual Tradition that Influenced the U.S. Founding Fathers (Released April 2010)
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
To truly ground these two documents in historical and intellectual context is well beyond the means of a single essay. The scope of the literature that shaped the intellectual development of the men and women who created the new nation is too wide and varied. As a group, the founding fathers, were extremely well read, both in classical and contemporary literature. Some, such as Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, were multilingual and possessed libraries containing thousands of volumes in a variety of languages. This Discovery Guide discusses, in general terms, the historical and literary traditions that guided the founding fathers and then focuses on a few representative authors who would have been familiar to them. This is only a beginning point, but hopefully one that will help illuminate a journey well worth taking.

The masterplan for a new 680 hectare waterfront community of up to 55,000 inhabitants on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, led by global architecture, urbanism and design practice Broadway Malyan for client Aldar PJSC, has been approved by the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council.
Approval of the masterplan, which won Aldar PJSC the 'Best Urban Design and Masterplanning Project' category at the Abu Dhabi Cityscape Awards 2011, will result in the creation of a series of distinct communities which will become the main residential areas on Yas Island.
The project is the latest stage in the continued development of Yas Island, Abu Dhabi's leading leisure and entertainment district, which features the F1 motor racing circuit, signature hotels, a Ferrari World Abu Dhabi theme park, as well as the under-construction water-park and an Abu Dhabi destination retail development.
Practice Director James Rayner says: "The approval of the masterplan is a major milestone in the creation of this major new residential area, with the success testament to close partnering with the client and the world-class skills, expertise and experience of our diverse team of global masterplanning experts."
The masterplan will see the communities linked by a comprehensive open space, road, light rapid transport, pedestrian and cycle network to other notable destinations on the island, with good 'walkability' a key factor in the design.
It will result in the delivery of 'complete' communities, supported by a full range of community facilities including schools, health clinics, extensive sports and recreation facilities, as well as convenience retail and commercial components.

I don't use a case for my iPhone, but this looks pretty nice.
I don't use a case for my iPhone, but this looks pretty nice.
Wil Shipley of Delicious Monster fame:
Steve Jobs works constantly on his products, every waking minute of every day. He lives and sleeps and breathes them. He's obsessive and crazy and kind of scary — but he's trying to build something. He didn't just say, "Here's my idea: smart phone! BAM! Go make it happen. Ima jump in the sauna." That simply doesn't work. God is in the details. In the implementation.
Please, do yourself a favor and read the entire piece. (via Nik Fletcher)
Jim Dalrymple of The Loop:
Pop punk band The Ultramods on Monday released its latest album that was done using GarageBand for iPad's eight-track recording studio. All of the instruments used to record the album come bundled in GarageBand, according to the band. Even the vocals were recorded using the iPad's built-in microphone.
Found this app via Justin Williams blog, carpeaqua. Looks very nice, but for now I don't feel any need to switch from Reeder.
I am as nitpicky about user interface as I am about user experience. There are some apps which, even though they offer a great service, I just never use because I don't like to look at them. And on the other side you have those apps which look cute but are not very useful.
Instacast, however, is of my favorite breed of apps: one with pitch-perfect design and that does one thing and does it very well.
Two bucks in the App Store. Consider it purchased.
An iPad with a keyboard, a mouse and a case [means] you'll be at $1500 or $1600.
His math makes perfect sense if your case runs about $900.
Jim Dalrymple of The Loop:
Apple closed the door this morning on any speculation that it would announce new hardware at its Worldwide Developers conference saying it would focus on iOS and Mac OS.
I don't know about you, but for now I'm perfectly content with what I've got.
Peter Pachal of PC Magazine:
DigiTimes, which often breaks stories about supply-chain news of various manufacturers—typically attributed to unnamed sources—says shipments of the Xoom will ramp down to below 300,000 by May and dwindle to zero by the end of June.
Instagoodies, a project from Alex and Dan Rubin, allows you to make stickers of your Instagram photos.
Yeah, he's dropped to fifth in the world, but I'd still take his advice (when it comes to golf, that is). I haven't used it, but it looks like a nice app for golfers looking to improve their swing.
Jason Kincaid of TechCrunch:
Say you walk into a restaurant with twenty people in it. You sit down at a table with four friends, and start chatting. Then one of your friends pulls out their phone, fires up Color, and takes a snapshot of you and your buddies.
That photo is now public to anyone within around 100 feet of the place it was taken. So if anyone else in the restaurant fires up Color, they'll see the photograph listed in a stream alongside other photos that have recently been taken in the vicinity.
A shame it wasn't released in time for SXSW, since the main concept is to have multiple people around using it together. More info about the app and a link to download it for free on color.com.
Up until this point, I'm still not sure buying the white model was a good idea. Yes, everyone around you immediately sees you've got one of the new iPads, not the previous clunky outdated version. And I gotta admit, it looks pretty damn nice. But it also creates a lot of visual noise when you're using it. Black rounded corners, a thin black line between the screen and the frame, it all adds up. This isn't an issue at night, but during the day a black iPad 2 makes more sense.
Always bet on black.
Khoi Vinh:
Flipboard, in my opinion, is the first step on what will either be a long road or a steep climb towards a new way of interfacing with written content. Unfortunately TweetMag, as nice as it is, isn't quite that second step. It's an attractive refinement with merits of its own, but it's still not the breakthrough that this genre of software is looking for.
I've got both Flipboard and TweetMag installed, but it's been a while since I've launched either.
Andy Ihnatko of Chicago-Sun TImes:
The iPad 2 is the same iPad. It's just better in every conceivable way.
He also mentioned, via Twitter, that the Smart Cover makes it the most comfortable-to-hold of all the ebooks.
Kevin O'Brien of The New York Times:
But after the iPhone went on sale, sold exclusively at first by AT&T in the United States, T-Mobile USA began to lose its most lucrative customers, those on fixed monthly plans, who defected to its larger American rivals — AT&T and Verizon Wireless, which began selling the iPhone in February.
Just another example of how the iPhone is the most desired mobile device on the market.
Peter Horvath of Teehan+Lax:
The challenge is finding the incentive for consumers to switch from swiping to waving. As industry practices and consumer behaviour become adjusted to mobile devices as the primary mode for sharing information and digital identities, we'll start to see an uptake in adoption. But the question remains as to just how quickly we'll start to see heavy adoption of the mobile wallet in the near future.
Eli Hodapp of Touch Arcade:
Instead of killing pigs, you've got to break fellow birds free from cages in the first world. Then in the second world you're defeating monkeys. The 60th level has a boss fight of sorts where you've got to fling birds at Nigel, the bad guy of the movie. You even get to fling Blu and Jewel, the two main character birds of Rio. It's all really well done, and any fans of Angry Birds will have a fantastic time playing through Angry Birds Rio.
Angry Birds is one of my two favorite games for iOS, the other being Words with Friends.
AT&T Inc. and Deutsche Telekom AG today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which AT&T will acquire T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom in a cash-and-stock transaction currently valued at approximately $39 billion. The agreement has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies.
39 BILLION? Wow!
I saw a lot of people with the iPad 2 last week and I didn't see a single one without a Smart Cover.
Darrell Etherington of GigaOM:
The iPad 2 is a great buy, there's no denying that. Buyers looking for a tablet won't find a better option on the market today (or likely even a year from now, if the situation continues on as it has been in that space). But is the iPad 2 really a worthwhile update for owners of the original iPad? Despite my initial inclinations, after a week of use and given the limited stock of available software specifically tailored to the device, I'd have to say no.
I think it depends on what you're doing with your original iPad. If you're planning on selling it and only have to spend an additional $100 or so for an iPad 2, I'd say it's worth it.
I'm afraid to use this app. Not sure I want to know how long will you have to exercise to burn all those calories.
Wired's list is below to save you time from having to navigate through all ten pages.
We rave about Dropbox all the time at Wired.com. That's because it's an indispensable addition to the iPad. It is an online storage service that works on an iPad, iPhone, Android phone, or any Windows or Mac PC. Your Dropbox folder is where you put all the files you want to access with any device, and the service automatically syncs so they're available to you everywhere.Air Video
Let's say you've got a lot of video files on your PC that aren't iTunes-compatible, or were acquired through (ahem) less than legal means. With AirVideo, you can quickly set up a server on your PC and choose a folder that you want to share with your iPad.Friendly
There isn't an official Facebook app made just for the iPad. Until Facebook comes up with something better, Friendly is basically the best option.GarageBand
Made by Apple, the GarageBand app is simply stunning. The app packs a virtual piano, guitar, bass guitar and drum set to record songs.Infinity Blade
Originally made for the iPhone, Infinity Blade has been rescaled and beefed up for the iPad. While it works on the first-generation iPad, it's even better on the iPad 2.Instapaper
We've featured Instapaper before, but we have to mention it again, because it's just too crucial. Reading through a web browser can be a chore, with all those distracting ads, ugly sidebars, etc. Hit Instapaper's "Read Later" button on your PC web browser to add a page to your reading list. Then on your iPad you can launch the Instapaper app to read everything you've saved with just the words and pictures, stripped of all the junk.
We can't get enough of Flipboard, a beautiful social magazine. Fundamentally, it scrapes content from URLs shared on Twitter, Facebook and RSS feeds.PenUltimate
If you come up with a great idea, you can quickly jot it down in this note-taking app that acts a a virtual Field Notes notepad. Unlike other note apps, where you have to type, PenUltimate just lets you scribble on the screen with your finger (or a stylus).TuneInRadio
Listen to all your favorite online radio stations with this app. Plus, you can use this app to set an alarm to play your favorite station in the morning.World of Goo
This cutesy puzzle game involves stretching black blobs of goo at geometric angles to reach a goal point (a pipe that sucks up the goo). The sharp graphics and clever sound effects are a nice treat for a game that challenges your noggin.
Johnny Davis of The Guardian:
The iPod is 10 this year. Developed during spring 2001 and brought to market in just eight months, the circumstances surrounding its launch were hardly auspicious. For a start, it debuted days after 9/11. The press launch promised "the unveiling of a breakthrough device", the only other information on the invitations from Apple's Silicon Valley HQ was some small print along the bottom: "Hint: It's Not a Mac." The assembled media probably figured that was just as well. Apple's most recent computer, the G4 Cube, had failed to match the success of its iMac – the candy-coloured, egg-shaped machine that had transformed the desktop computer from functional grey workstation to translucent object of desire. And even its appeal was dwindling.
Great piece on the iPod. I still remember seeing this device for the first time at CompUSA and wanting one immediately. It didn't actually get one until the fourth-generation model came out in 2004 and have had those white buds in my ears ever since.
I'm downloading the Turner Sports' NCAA March Madness On Demand app now. It's free and allows you to watch every single game of the tournament.
Josh Lowensohn of CNET:
Analysts like Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster are already setting estimates for first day sales somewhere between 400,000 to 500,000 units, some 200,000 better than the first iPad did during the same time period in its launch. Apple is expected to unveil preliminary unit sales on Monday, as it did on the Monday following the launch of the first iPad.
I think it's safe to say that Apple knocked it out of the park yet again.
Here's an example of the new tilt-shift feature, which allows you to focus on a certain part and then blur the rest, that's been built into Instagram.
Instapaper 3.0 for iPhone and iPad is now available in the App Store, and I've updated the Instapaper website to include many of its new features as well. This is the biggest update Instapaper has ever had in one version, and I'm proud to finally show it to you.
I second what Josh Clark said, " My favorite iPhone/iPad app just got better. I mean, wow, a LOT better."
Apple® today announced that iPad™ 2, the next generation of its magical device for browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading ebooks and much more, will be available tomorrow at 5 p.m. local time at all 236 Apple retail stores in the US and through the Apple Store® (www.apple.com) beginning at 1 a.m. PT.
Alarm clock set. (via Daring Fireball)
The current notification system in iOS is lacking to say the least. Only one notification is shown at a time so its not very useful—especially on the lock screen.
The unveiling of the iPad 2 sparked our interest in the current system. I had some fun over the weekend and came up with a new look for when the Smart Cover is in place.
Brilliant! (via Cameron Moll)
Douglas Bergeron, CEO of VeriFone:
Consumer trust is what's really at stake. If the industry allows Square and other similar attempts to short-circuit security best practices, it will seriously jeopardize the integrity and security of the payment infrastructure and financial systems developed over the last three decades.
Cabel Sasser, of Panic, sums it up nicely:
Ladies and gents: the pathetic, desperate groans of an outpaced, frightened dinosaur, in words.
Don't get me wrong, the new DODOcase for the iPad 2 looks very nice, but I don't think it'll sell as well as the original. Apple's Smart Cover is just too tough to pass up. (via Cameron Moll)
Rafe Needleman of CNET News:
Here's what it does: It helps you find Facebook people who are near you and share your interests. The mobile app records your interests, musical tastes, work history, and so on, and then lets you find people nearby who match some or all of those categories. If you're at SXSW and want to find someone who shares your interest in a particular musical group, Domo will help you find that person; you can message them through the app as well.
Plenty of location-based apps seem to be gearing up for this years SXSW. The two heavy hitters, Gowalla (who just launched an updated version of their Android app) and Foursquare (who just launched an updated version of their iPhone app), and a couple newcomers, EightBit and Domo.
Naz Hamid:
If you're new to SitBy.Us, in a nutshell: SitBy.Us helps you discover panels and share where you're sitting at SXSW Interactive using your Twitter friends list.
One of the best web apps I've ever used.
Jonathan Geller of BGR:
One of our sources has just let us know something pretty interesting. There has been a lot of talk surrounding Apple's personal hotspot feature, specifically it's capability of only supporting 3 wireless connections (as opposed to 5 like many other devices). Well, we have been told it's all left to the carrier to decide. If a carrier requests it, five devices will be supported, but by default, it's three.
The thing I'm most excited about is the improved Safari performance thanks to the Nitro JavaScript engine.
Marco Arment of Instapaper:
If you're happy with your iPad, there's not a huge reason to upgrade. Casual gadget customers who already own iPads are probably better off waiting for the next version.
After reading this, I'm now questioning myself. Maybe I should hold off until the next version. Marco, however, is not:
Good luck. I'll see you on line at the Apple Store, where I think I'll be getting a 32 GB Verizon 3G model, in black, with a red, navy, or black leather Smart Cover.
Christina Warren of Mashable:
Instead, the iPad 2 will be available via Apple.com at some point early Friday, and in retail stores starting at 5:00pm. Online reports indicate that Apple.com sales will start at 12:01am PST on March 11, 2011. East coast buyers, set your clocks for 3am.
Not looking forward to that wake up call.

Type Specimen is the first font viewer for iPad, revolutionizing the way digital fonts are presented today. It's an ideal tool for people who need to select fonts for projects - be it magazine design, corporate identity design, web applications, or book typesetting. Type Specimen is a quick and easy way to navigate the type foundry, containing over two hundred original font styles. Type Specimen allows you to categorize individual fonts, make comparisons, or see details of specific glyphs.

With only a couple days left until the new iPads arrive it's time to make some decisions. For me, the hardest part is not deciding which network (since I'm only getting the Wi-Fi model) or what size (16GB was plenty for me), but the color combo is where I'm finding it tough. With twenty different variations, Apple's not making it easy. I'm pretty sure I'll be going with red-on-black though… what about you all?
Use the tag #ipadcolorcombo on Twitter to share.
My favorite stat from Luke Wroblewski's list:
Apple has sold 15 million iPads -that's more than every tablet PC ever sold. The iPad has over 90% market share.
The MORE/REAL Stylus Cap turns a Sharpie, a Bic, or a Pilot Fineliner into a touchscreen stylus that works with any capacitive touch screen. You get all the benefits of a marker that can write on paper with a stylus that gives you superior control to sketch and take notes on touchscreens such as the iPad.
Their $15,000 goal on Kickstarter has been met (over $40,000 as of now) with nine days left. Looks like these caps will be a reality someday soon.
Trip Hawkins, founder of software giant Electronic Arts and most recently Digital Chocolate, a few days ago:
"They have over-encouraged supply," Hawkins said on a panel at the conference. Using statistics that Apple has made public, Hawkins calculated that each app earns, on average, about $4,000.
"Four thousand per application: Do you see a problem with that?" he asked the audience. "That doesn't even pay for a really good foosball table."
But had this to say two years ago:
It's by far our most effective platform. We make as much money with these games on one device as we do putting a game on 100 different cell phone platforms. Between the iPod Touch and the iPhone, I think the platform is freaking out Sony and Nintendo.
MG Siegler of TechCrunch:
Instead of building the me-too photo app, or the try-mine group messaging app, why not set out to do something completely different? Why not do something no one else has ever done before? Obviously, that's much easier said than done — but I'm not sure it's any harder than trying to compete in a totally over-saturated market.
I get what Siegler's saying. There are so many apps now, and the majority of them are just basically copying what a previously successful app has done. Great apps come out every day, but it's been a while since an iPhone app has completely blown me away. By that, I mean apps that are completely original and extremely useful. You know, apps like Shazam, Instapaper and Ego.
Andy Ihnatko of Chicago Sun-Times:
But you kind of have to hold the iPad 2 to really get the redesign. It's thinner by a third, plus its edges taper to a thin line of metal. It's almost inconceivable that this thing you're holding is a multicore tablet computer. The Xoom tablet is trim, light, and very pretty ... but when you place it next to the iPad 2, it looks as though it was designed and built by angry Soviet prison labor instead of by Motorola.
I almost feel sad for Motorola, Samsung and the others. Not sure if they even stand a chance.
Kara Swisher of All Things Digital:
To those who intensely cares about this kind of stuff–which would be pretty much everyone in the tech ecosystem–Apple will hold its much-anticipated event on March 2, where the tech giant seems poised to unveil a new version of its hugely successful iPad, according to multiple sources.
They exceeded their $10,000 goal on Kickstarter pretty easily.
Kevin Rose:
I have it on good authority that Apple will be announcing the iPad 2 in the next "3-4 weeks", possibly Tuesday February 1st. The iPad 2 will feature a retina display and front/back cameras.
If you're thinking of buying an iPad, hold off for now.
I hope this rumor is true. My wife and bank account do not.
Winnie Hu of The New York Times:
But school leaders say the iPad is not just a cool new toy but rather a powerful and versatile tool with a multitude of applications, including thousands with educational uses.
Is it safe to say that the iPad will dramatically change the way kids learn and teachers teach? I think so.
Fling, a tactile game controller, looks like a pretty good idea for those iPad gamers out there.
A great list of apps.
StarDunk, a game I've never heard of until now, might be as addictive as any iOS game I've ever played.
Mike Rundle:
Near the end of last summer I had an idea of what I could do with these various unfinished projects: turn them into in-depth tutorials. So many friends of mine are designers who have never programmed before, or developers who never learned iPhone development, so the least I could do is re-package these forgotten projects (and new ones!) into something that might teach others what I've learned about iPhone UI design and development.
Design Then Code will be the site where these tutorials are published. If you go there now you can register to be notified when the first set of tutorials are available.
If you're just getting into developing for iOS devices, do yourself a favor and sign up. The free e-book, Building iOS Apps From Scratch, is great from what I've read so far.
Good list… Pastebot, Soulver and Opera Mini are just a few of the apps they recommend.
Three Apple products in the top ten. Pretty sure you all know what takes the top spot.
Caspar Llewellyn Smith and Jamie Doward of The Guardian:
The band that headlined this year's Glastonbury festival today released The Fall, an album that can be downloaded free and was largely produced using only an iPad. "I've never been someone who's embraced technology particularly," frontman Damon Albarn told a New Zealand TV station this month, shortly after announcing that Gorillaz would stop playing live in their current format. "I've always tried to keep true to my roots, which was just a four-track and a guitar, but I got given an iPad and I suddenly found myself in a position where I could make quite a sonically sophisticated record in my hotel room."
Beluga helps groups of friends stay in touch on the go. Use it to plan a night out or just share updates and photos. It's instant, intimate and simple. Best of all, it's completely free.

NavFree has just released a free turn-by-turn navigation app for the iPhone and iPad. It's a biggie at 1.76 GB. It offers voice guidance, live Google search, and auto re-routing—something you normally don't find in free GPS software. One big caveat with this navigation app is the availability of offline map data. There are no hidden costs or monthly fees to the consumer because it uses map data from OpenStreetMap. There will be premium in-app purchases available at a later date. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to download it, though. My download in iTunes just finished after nearly 30 minutes.
Update: After looking at the reviews, I'd think twice about trying this one out. Guess you get what you pay for (or in this case, what you don't pay for).
We celebrate somebody like a Steve Jobs, who has created two or three different revolutionary products. We expect that person to be rich, and that's a good thing. We want that incentive. That's part of the free market.
Arnold Kim of Mac Rumors:
The changes would be welcome by some as it addresses a couple of criticisms of the original iPad design. The outer plastic bezel surrounding the LCD screen of the iPad was seen as excessively large by some. The new design would address this by slightly narrowing this bezel by 3x3mm. The final design is said to retain the same size LCD screen but the overall unit is claimed to measure 239 mm by 186 mm as compared to the current iPad's size of 242.8 mm x 189.7 mm. Next, the back of the iPad is reported to be "flat like an iPod Touch" which would allow the new iPad to sit flat on a desk surface. The current iPad has a rounded back.

Jay Hathaway of Download Squad:
So, what's new in Camera+ 2.0? Plenty! Let's start with the filters. You'll notice that the "normal" button that used to be in the center of each filter selection screen has been replaced by an additional filter. Under Color, it's a blue filter called Cyanotype. Retro gets a glowing filter called Tailfins, and Special gains the best new filter of all, Depth of Field. I can't stress how awesome the Depth of Field filter is: it calculates what's in the foreground of your photo, and intelligently blurs the rest. If you're shooting a new Facebook profile photo, this is absolutely the filter you want to use.
Locacha is local chat. Pick your name. Pick your location. And start chatting with the closest people to that spot. No signup and completely anonymous.
Interesting idea.
Super QuickHook, a game I've never played, gets the top spot for iPhone and World of Goo gets the nod for iPad.
Not sure how much I trust this list since a lot of great titles (The Incident, Astronut and Angry Birds just to name a few) seem to be missing.
Jürgen Schweizer, of Cultured Code, discusses the cloud sync solution for Things:
The final release of cloud sync as part of Things is still off by a few months. But we plan to publish more details about what we are doing (and have been doing) every few weeks.
Let me end this post by expressing our sincere gratitude for your patience. Driven by ambitions that were almost too high, it has taken us much longer than we expected. On a path lined with unanticipated obstacles and letdowns, it felt at times as if we would never get there – but we kept believing that we would be able to create a fine solution; a foundation for many cool things to come.
It is now in reach.
I know plenty people who have jumped ship because of the lack of cloud syncing, and rightfully so if that's a must-have feature for how you work. For me personally, I'm still on the Things bandwagon, mainly because I do not own this app for the Mac or iPad. I own it solely for the iPhone which means I have no need for the syncing feature.
My to-do list is something I do not need to have on multiple devices. As long as I can get to it with my iPhone, the one device that's with me at all times (unlike my MacBook Pro and iPad) then I'm good. (via Shawn Blanc)

MG Siegler of TechCrunch:
The social magazine app launched in July with some glowing reviews and since then, a few small updates have made it even better. But the update they're releasing today makes it a lot better. So much so that if Flipboard was already the app of 2010, they've got to be the early frontrunners to be the iPad app of 2011 as well.
Big congrats to the folks at Flipboard! Can't say I personally use it all that much, but it seems like everyone I know who has an iPad loves it.
Wow! Perfect score (5-out-of-5 mice) for The Incident. Huge congrats to Matt Comi & Neven Mrgan!

Yukari Iwatani Kane of The Wall Street Journal:
The new iPhone spells the end of the exclusive arrangement that AT&T has had since 2007, when Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs introduced the original iPhone. Since then, the iPhone fueled much of the AT&T's growth.
Shawn Blanc:
About a week ago I switched to OmniFocus. I don't switch to, or tinker with, new software that much anymore. I've pretty much found and use all the tools that work for me so I can do my best work every day. But my iPhone and iPad are changing how I interact with my work, and so, alas, Things became a casualty of war. (Yes, work is war. Anyone who says differently is selling something.)
Great piece from Shawn that's tempting me to make the switch, too.
Dan Costa of PC Magazine:
In short, Apple is giving the rest of the industry a total drubbing. If this were little league, the umpire would invoke the mercy rule and prevent Apple from signing up yet more distributors for its iPad. (Too late, now you can buy it directly from Amazon!) And it gets worse. Not only is Apple making money on the iPad, it is also profiting from app sales. Vigorous app sales drive more app development, which enhances the value of the iPad platform and drives—you guessed it—more iPad sales.
Official Moleskine covers are now available for pre-order on Amazon. They're "conceived as analog-digital ultra-portable workstations for the contemporary nomads." Both look nice, but I think the iPhone case would make it too thick for me and my pocket. However, it'll be tough not ordering the iPad case.
Nice short story of how the DODOcase saved an iPad from a 70 mph crash landing.

New ($4.99) iPad app from Information Architects:
The key to good writing is not that magical glass of Bordeaux, the right kind of tobacco or that groovy background music. The key is focus. What you need to write well is a spartan setting that allows you to fully concentrate on your text and nothing but your text. Many professional writers use SimpleText or Textedit because these are the only writing programs that are totally distraction free. But text editors are not perfect. That's why we made Writer.

Dan Moren of Macworld:
We'll be honest: after checking out iOS 4.2, the idea of going back to 3.2.1 is inconceivable. Multitasking, folders—blessed folders!—and Mail's improvements feel natural on the tablet and we're sure that AirPlay and AirPrint will make us even more at home when they finally arrive in full force this November.

Stephen Shankland of CNET:
Apple still has the final say, though. The 113 App Store rules it released Thursday made clear there are plenty of reasons it'll reject applications it considers subpar—and Jobs made it clear he thinks the cross-platform nature of Flash means it's harder to make applications that feel like native citizens of the iOS community. But the fact that Packager for iPhone apps are arriving in the App Store again means that Adobe's tool is relevant again.
Just playing around with the new HDR (high-dynamic range) photo feature in iOS 4.1. I think the original photo (on the left) looks better, and the HDR photo looks a little "touched up" (view the original sizes here). Looks like it's really going to depend on the situation, well-lit shots seem to work best with this new feature.
David Chartier of Macworld:
There are a few likely reasons for why Nike decided to release a separate Nike+ app when it already got Apple to build one into iOS. For one, this new app does not require the purchase of a Nike + iPod Sport Kit—it relies solely on device hardware like the GPS and accelerometer. As a result, iPhone and iPod touch users now only need to consider purchasing a $2 app versus a $30 kit (iPod nano owners, however, will still need the kit).
I used it last night and I love it.
Scheduled to be released sometime today.
Claire Cain Miller of The New York Times:
With Twitter for iPad, people can tap on a link and see photos, stories or video in a new pane, and easily swipe their finger to move between the content and the Twitter stream.
Another frustrating aspect of Twitter is that it can be difficult to track conversations as people reply and refer to one another, and to find more information about a particular Twitter user without clicking on a bunch of links. The new iPad app addresses that as well. By pinching on a Twitter post on the iPad screen, users can read more about an author and reply to a post. By putting two fingers together and pulling down on a post, people can view the rest of the conversation around the post.

A few significant announcements from Ion World today (sourced from the press release and #ionworld Tweets) which I've summarised here:
Proton III and Avalanche
The Ion Proton is now shipping and Life Tech plan to ship 100 instruments to customers in September.
The initial chip, Proton I ("PI") will do 60-80m reads and "up to 10Gb" of output from its 110 million sensors. The read length is "between 100 and 200 bases". No mention of 400 base kit for Proton at this time. Proton II (PII) we know has 650 million sensors. The big news is the announcement of a third chip, predictably named Proton III. This will have 1.2bn sensors and could theoretically generate 256Gb of data. It seems this will be enabled by a new emulsion PCR-free technology they are calling Avalanche. Is this related to the long-talked about Wildfire protocol for SOLiD?
The PIII will require Avalanche and so this may suggest that the chip will not have beads and wells, but instead move to some kind of solid-surface technology as used in Illumina sequencing. In turn this may suggest that they have run out of real estate at the PII chip density, and so require the spaces between wells to get further throughput. But this is pure speculation on my part. Available "within 18 months".
Yes, Chef!
One of the hassles with PGM sequencing right now is that there is a good deal of hands-on to go from a genomic DNA sample to a sequence-ready loaded chip, even with the OneTouch. So it is great news that the Ion Chef (pictured) has been announced which claims to go from library to a loaded chip with only minutes of hands-on time. It presumably replaces the OneTouch (OneTouch 2 for Proton) and is scheduled for some time in first half of 2013. About the pun-tastic name; awful. Update 14/09: According to Dale Yuzuki's blog, the Ion Chef will be available mid-2013 and will cost about twice the OneTouch, so around $40,000 I think.
Platform Accuracy
Ion Torrent Suite 3.0 is supposed to have dramatic improvements in base-calling. Ion Torrent on Twitter quote Shawn Levy at Hudson Alpha saying: "Concerns about insertion deletion errors are now largely solved". Chad Nusbaum is quoted as saying: "Indel mismatches significantly improved in the new bioinformatics software Torrent suite 3.0″ (tweet). This is great news. Certainly the recent E. coli 300bp dataset put out on the Ion Torrent website look a great deal better than that which we got in summer 2011.
On the Ion Proton apparently "consensus accuracy is comparable to that of the Ion PGM™ sequencer" which is a little vague. Apparently the Broad Baylor (thanks NJL_Broad for the correction) have performed 274 runs on the Proton (tweet) which is amazing, but a shame there hasn't been any data released.
How long?!
There seems to be some confusion about how long it takes to sequence on the Proton. Most of the Twitter PR says two hours, but the press release states "two to four hours". Certainly the PGM run-time has been variable depending on the chip type, leading to the development of a run-time calculator.
Well, in summary, this is a pretty exciting set of announcements from Life Tech focusing on some of the platform issues (accuracy and hands-on time). The Proton with Proton II chip and Ion Chef, if it all works and delivers high quality data is a serious prospect. But of course, the proof is in the pudding!
It would be great if some early access users would post some data.
Current Ion Roadmap
There seems to be a little confusion as to what is available now. Here is the roadmap I figured out based on the announcements today:
September 2012 – Ion Proton ships to first customers
end 2012 – 400 base kit available for PGM
March 2013 – PII chip available (assuming 6 months from September 2012)
Mid-2013 – Ion Chef launches (for PGM and Proton)
March 2014 – Avalanche and PIII chip available (assuming 18 months from September 2012)

Last year I bought a gorgeous hibiscus called Purple Galaxy. It thrived and produced many blossoms. I brought it inside for the winter and it remained green and lush, even bringing forth more flowers while in my sunroom. I brought it outside to spend the summer on my front porch (northwest orientation) where it was last summer. Now the topmost leaves are quite tightly curled and I see no buds forming. When this started, I unpotted the plant and found it was quite rootbound, so I put it in a larger pot. Maybe I went up too large? It's also having a yellowed leaf about every other day for no explicable reason. (It's getting fertilized with time-release sprinkles.) Does anyone have any ideas? |

yes.. i do have an idea .. post a pic ... you are noting yellow leaves after repotting ... sounds like transplant shock ... ken |
Did you uncurl the leaves to see what is at the center? Hybiscus attracts insects that curl the leaves and build a nest there. |
The plant was having yellow leaves before I repotted it. And the leaves aren't curled tightly, they're just "cupped". No insects in there. I've even looked with my magnifying glass. Keep those suggestions coming though! |

How many horsepower does it take to pull the tile plow?
In our experience, most western Canadian buyers are looking for either pattern tile installation in fairly heavy soils, or looking to drain depressions through ridges and therefore need to be deep in some places. Therefore, a 400+hp, 40,000lb+ 4WD or tracked machine will be required to pull the tile plow in most cases. At some point you will most likely need to hook on a second tractor too, for example if you are installing 8″ or 10″ pipe at or near maximum depth, or where traction is an issue. Traction tends to be more of an issue than horsepower in many cases.
How deep can I go with it and what size pipe can I install?
The pull-type tile plow has a working depth of 6.5′. The 3-point version has a working depth of 5.5′
Changeable tile boots are available in 4″, 6″, 8″ and 10″ sizes, giving you the ability to install 3″, 4″, 5″, 6″, 8″, and 10″ pipe.
Can't I just tile by eye without using Intellislope and RTK?
No, not unless you have superhuman powers, or your fields have so much natural slope that you can't possibly come off-grade!
I'm confused about the difference between Intellislope and RTK – do I need both?
This is a common question and point of misunderstanding. Intellislope is a grade control system that requires an input from a RTK GPS receiver. Intellislope is built into the Ag Leader Integra Display (when you purchase Intellislope from us you receive an Integra Display with Intellislope unlocked in the display). Whether you run Intellislope or any other method of grade control you still need to have GPS receivers that are unlocked to RTK and transmitting RTK signals.
My equipment dealer says I can only use WM-Drain for grade control because I have Trimble GPS?
This is not true, you can use Trimble GPS receivers that are unlocked to RTK to send the required messages to Intellislope. Please contact us for exact details based on your GPS model.
I have lots of rocks in my fields
Rocks are an issue for tile installation no matter what equipment you use. Until you try tiling in rocky ground its difficult to say how badly they will hinder tile installation. Large rocks above tile installation depth are generally not an issue (unless they are so big they stop you dead) because the tile plow will heave them out. The biggest issue is rocks at install depth because the plow will not be able to get under them to heave them upwards, but rather the plow is lifted and the installed pipe is therefore above the intended grade. In these situations, the operator either stops on top of the rock and restarts the install from this point (thus not going off-grade), or the location will need to be flagged for excavation later.
How many feet or pipe (or acres) can I install in a day?
Many factors affect how many feet you can lay in a day. As a guide, our experience has been that about 25,000 to 35,000 feet (or 25 to 35 acres) in a day is realistic for pattern tile projects, and about 5,000 to 10,000 feet per day if we are installing 6 or 8 inch pipe to drain potholes.
I see contractors installing in both directions. Can I and should I do this too?
We have spoken to lots of people about this, from very experienced contractors in the U.S. to university professors. The resounding answer we hear is that it's not good practice, and the only reason to do this is to install more feet in a day (and make more money). Self-propelled plows are slow, so driving back after each run equals significantly less feet in the ground – hence the desire to install in both directions. Because we are using a tractor our return run is much faster, and we can run our survey on this return run so we have a totally accurate topography reference to design the install from (if you install both ways you'll likely be installing based on the original field survey which may not have actually driven over the exact run you'll be placing the tile and could lead to you being too deep or shallow in places). Installing downhill means you have no chance to recover if you hit a rock, so you must stop, cut the pipe, pull out the plow, dig out the rock, dig a new start hole, and begin installing again – installing uphill gives you a good chance you can perform a rock recovery without any of this. Installing downhill in wet conditions means you'll have water chasing you to the outlet, and it's not fun to connect a pipe that's already flowing full! The other risk is that you mis-calculate your depths and come in below the main or deeper than your outlet ditch etc, which would make your install useless. So, the answer to the question is yes, it is possible to install in both directions with the plow and the Intellislope system. Do we recommend installing downhill? Absolutely not.
Do I need RTK or can I tile with WAAS, Omnistar, laser etc?
Tiling with GPS is so much more efficient than using a laser system that you really shouldn't consider a laser unless your fields have completely uniform slope. Using RTK GPS is an absolute must as less accurate systems will result in installations that don't work at all, or don't work very well. Using automated grade control like Intellislope combined with RTK is the only way to achieve the kind of accuracy needed. Intellislope will not allow you to tile unless you have RTK!
My equipment dealer is suggesting I go with their radio or cell based RTK for tiling For tiling it is always recommended to use a mobile base station that you set up on the field you are tiling. The only time we'd endorse running on a network is if all your land is within a couple of miles of the dealer's base station. A cellular system will mean you are likely tens of miles from the actual base station (even if you are close to a cell tower this doesn't mean you are close to the base). We have yet to find anyone that will stand behind these systems when we ask them to guarantee they are accurate enough for tiling, however we do have several plow owners running on these systems without reported issues – but again, we do NOT endorse this practice.
Should I upgrade my existing GPS or buy a separate RTK for tiling?This really depends on what you have now and your need for RTK for other operations. If you feel the benefit of RTK for seeding, spraying, and harvest is worth the cost of upgrading then that is the way to go. On the other hand, many of our clients are very happy with the accuracy they get with Omnistar etc and it actually works out considerably cheaper for them to purchase a system like the Hemisphere A320/321 kit that we offer that they can use for tiling. The other benefit here is that you don't have to take the GPS from the tractor or other equipment to use on the tile plow, and you can still use your Omnistar for steering while tiling. (If you do upgrade your existing equipment remember you'll need a GPS receiver on the plow plus one for on the tractor if you want to be able to steer while tiling).
What do you recommend for grade control?
Some of our existing clients have tried to use grade control systems offered by the well-known equipment and GPS manufacturers. All have ended up coming back to us to buy Intellislope. The two main issues with other systems were lack of support (nobody in the dealership understands anything about tiling), and difficulty getting the systems to work correctly. Intellislope was designed primarily for use with Gold Digger tile plows. We only sell Intellislope, and cannot offer support for other systems.
I heard someone say that tractor-drawn plows aren't as good as self-propelled units
The most common causes of tile failure or poor performance are incorrect system design, incorrect choice of pipe specification (e.g. filtered/non-filtered), and operator error, not plow-related causes. Most full-time contractors are not farmers, so for them it makes sense to buy a self-propelled unit if they don't already have a 4WD tractor or two. There are also situations where a self-propelled unit will work better, such as in very wet ground where they get better traction and floatation, and sometimes in very rocky ground where the extra weight can be an asset. As far as staying on-grade, tractor drawn/mounted plows use plow pitch to maintain grade while self-propelled units can directly control depth to maintain grade. Both methods are proven effective provided the operator is careful to keep to a speed the hydraulics can match, and provided the RTK system and attached slope sensors are calibrated and accurate – all of these are more likely causes of tiles being installed off-grade.
Will you teach me how to use it?
Yes! Every plow we sell comes with a setup and training in plow operation from one of our experienced operators or Local Experts. Provided the conditions allow, we'll also spend some time with you actually getting the plow in the ground and going through the steps and procedures required to operate the plow.
We also run introductory tile drainage workshops from time to time, click here for more info.

PHOENIX (AP) - Leading candidates for Arizona governor came out swinging Wednesday evening, exchanging jabs during the last scheduled joint appearance of the general election campaign.
Democratic nominee Janet Napolitano, the current state attorney general, said Republican candidate Matt Salmon "inherits a legacy" of failed Republican leadership in a state government that has neglected health care and education.
"We're not giving our children the kind of opportunity they deserve and we won't if we continue the failed politics of the past," she said to cheers from supporters in the audience in a ballroom at the Ritz-Carlton hotel.
"That's what we've been left by bad decisions at the Capitol," she said.
Noting that Napolitano now holds statewide office, Salmon declined to accept her attempt to characterize him as a continuation of the past.
"We do have some severe problems," the former congressman said. "We need a new start."
Salmon, who also had numerous supporters in the crowd, said Napolitano has fallen short as a crime-fighter and that her fiscal proposals would undermine the state's economic climate.
"The absolute last thing that I want to do is put all of our failed policies on the backs of small businesses," he said.
Napolitano holds liberal positions that are out of place in Arizona, he said. "This is not the home of Ted Kennedy. This is the home of Barry Goldwater."
Napolitano said the state can't raise its income tax but needs to eliminate some sales-tax exemptions to produce more revenue.
Tax cuts enacted in the 1990s "are here to stay but in the future we need to plan better for the future legacy of the next generation," Napolitano said.
Independent Richard Mahoney and Libertarian Barry Hess also participated in the forum, the last of three televised appearances for gubernatorial candidates during the campaign leading up to Tuesday's general election.
The forum will be televised Sunday afternoon by television stations KPHO in Phoenix and KOLD in Tucson, said Tom Jenney, a spokesman for the Goldwater Institute, a co-sponsor of the event.

BMJ press release
Meanwhile, senior researcher calls for Roche boycott until company releases data
A leading researcher has suggested that European governments should sue the drug firm Roche and that doctors and others boycott the company's products until it publishes missing data on Tamiflu.
Peter Gotzsche, leader of the Nordic Cochrane Centre in Copenhagen, was responding to an open letter to Roche from BMJ Editor-in-chief, Dr Fiona Godlee.
The letter is part of the BMJ's open data campaign, aimed at persuading Roche to honour the promise it made almost three years ago to make key Tamiflu trial data available for independent scrutiny.
Last week, Roche issued a "reactive statement; in response to Dr Godlee's letter, saying it does not accept or agree with the content of the letter regarding our transparency."
The company said it had provided the Cochrane group with 3200 pages of information, enabling their questions to be answered; and that a further request for information was denied because the researchers declined to sign a confidentiality agreement."
However, the Cochrane researchers say they were never offered a confidentiality agreement at the time of the further request, and say they have "found misleading statements in each of the document's four paragraphs. The Cochrane researchers issued a letter to Roche last week - now posted on bmj.com/tamiflu - asking Roche to publicly correct the record.
Roche also says it "has made full clinical help;available to national health authorities; but the Cochrane researchers say the European Medicines Agency has confirmed to them that it does not have some modules of the studies.
"These comments came the same week as Dr Godlee and other campaigners met with health minster Lord Howe to discuss missing data, EU clinical trials regulations, and the role of regulators. Afterwards, MP Sarah Wollaston, who last month raised the issue in parliament, said she hoped to have a full day's event to discuss further what could be done.
In his response, Gotzsche said that he questioned why European governments had not sued Roche to get the money they had spent on needlessly stockpiling Tamiflu. Roche has withheld data that purports to show that Tamiflu has dramatic effects.
"We all wonder why it is so difficult to get these data from Roche and why Roche has not published them if it is really true that they show these effects."
He concludes: "European governments should sue Roche, which might have the effect that the hidden trial results come out in the open. Furthermore, I suggest we boycott Roche's products until they publish missing Tamiflu data."
The Cochrane researchers conclude: "We remain interested in conducting the most rigorous, independent assessment of Tamiflu that is possible, and remain interested in obtaining the full study reports promised in December 2009 and complete de-identified electronic patient level reports."

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 Tiko!
Facts about Tiko
- Breed: Conure
- Color: Green
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
Tiko's Info...
Nanday Conure Mix
fostered by Sherrie & Renee of Tampa, FL
The vet describes Tiko as a Nanday Conure Mix, he definitely has a lot of nanday in him but also a little of something else that she is not sure of, either way, he is just gorgeous! We think Tiko about 7-10 years old and he is in great health. He is a bit larger for a Nanday, but so handsome! He steps up and loves to spend his days sitting on top of his cage, standing in the doorway of his cage playing with his favorite toy or shredding the paper on the bottom of his cage and re-arranging it to suit Tiko's preference. Behavior: Tiko will "Step-up" for you as long as he is out of his cage. He is very intelligent and sweet but will need someone to teach this willing student to express himself and converse with his for-ever "flock". He really likes to do loop to loops on his favorite perch! He is OK with Dogs...ignores them really...they are not worthy, lol! Just a great bird who will make a great lifetime companion!
Adoption fee $75 with cage $125
Other Pets at Florida Parrot Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tiko, a Tampa Conure was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Conure for sale in Tampa, or seeking a Conure from a breeder in Tampa.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tampa 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 Tampa 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 Conure breeders who help with Conure rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tampa paves the way for another one to be saved.

Walmart Bass Fishing League - Michigan
DETROIT RIVER (July 13, 2002)
Johnson tops Boater Division at Wal-Mart BFL tourney on Detroit River
WOODHAVEN, Mich. — Miles Johnson of Beaver Creek, Ohio, topped 120 Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League competitors Saturday on the Detroit River with five bass weighing 23 pounds. The catch earned him $3,447 and 200 points in the Boater Division.
Johnson caught his limit flipping green tubes to grass and rocks. The catch topped second-place boater Bill Clark of Allegan, Mich., by 2 pounds, 6 ounces. Clark finished the one-day tournament with a five-bass catch weighing 20 pounds, 10 ounces worth $1,723.
Jim Parker of Jonesville, Mich. (five bass, 19 pounds, 6 ounces, $1,034); Kevin Vida of Clare, Mich. (five bass, 17 pounds, 14 ounces, $827); and David Reault of Livonia, Mich., (five bass, 17 pounds, 13 ounces, $758) rounded out the top five boaters.
Johnson earned boater big bass honors and $600 with a 5-pound, 4-ounce bass. He also received a $1,000 bonus from Ranger Boats as the highest-finishing participant in the Ranger Cup incentive program.
Stephen Roth of Syracuse, Ind., claimed first place and $1,723 in the 120-competitor Co-angler Division with five bass weighing 17 pounds, 3 ounces. He surpassed second-place co-angler Christopher Majerle of Riverview, Mich., by 12 ounces thanks to his white and green tubes. Majerle finished with a five-bass catch weighing 16 pounds, 7 ounces worth $862.
Peter Merckx of Westland, Mich. (five bass, 16 pounds, 2 ounces, $517); Stephen Gill of Mishawaka, Mich. (five bass, 14 pounds, 12 ounces, $414); and William Lass of Caledonia, Mich., (five bass, 14 pounds, 5 ounces, $379) rounded out the top five co-anglers.
Co-angler Kurt Preibisch of St. Clair Shores, Mich., earned big bass honors and $300 in his division with a 5-pound, 5-ounce bass. He finished 21st overall with four bass weighing 12 pounds, 6 ounces.
Overall, 95 five-bass limits were caught during the tournament.
The Wal-Mart BFL will visit the Grand River Aug. 3 for the third of five Michigan Division events. The boater with the most points after the division's season finale, a two-day Super Tournament Sept. 14-15 on the Detroit River, will be declared the Yamaha "Be the Best" Points Leader and awarded $1,000. The co-angler amassing the most points by the end of the season will receive $500.
The top 30 Michigan Division boaters and co-anglers will advance to regional competition presented by Yamaha Oct. 15-19 on Kentucky Lake near Gilbertsville, Ky., where they will go up against top competitors from the Great Lakes, Hoosier and Illini divisions for a shot at qualifying for the Wal-Mart BFL All-American — one of the most lucrative post-season tournaments in competitive angling.
2002 BFL awards could reach $7 million based on full fields.
Sponsors of the 2002 Wal-Mart BFL are Wal-Mart, ALPO Pet Foods, BC Powder, BFGoodrich Tires, Castrol, Chevy Trucks, Conseco, Energizer, EverStart Batteries, Evinrude, Faded Glory, Frito-Lay, FujiFilm, GARMIN, Kellogg's, Land O'Lakes, Minn Kota, Newell Rubbermaid, Pepsi, Poulan, Ranger Boats, Shop-Vac, Snickers, Stanley Works, Stren, US Bank, Weed Eater and Yamaha Outboards.

Mar 6, 2014 11:33 AM by Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. is questioning the legitimacy of a referendum in Crimea on whether to break away from Ukraine and join Russia instead.
A senior administration official says Ukraine's "legitimate government" must be involved in any decisions about Crimea's future. The official says actions that do not include the government in Kiev are violations of international law.
Crimea is a pro-Russian area of Ukraine. Lawmakers there voted unanimously Thursday to hold a March 16 referendum to decide their allegiance. Russian forces moved into the Crimea peninsula last week after Ukraine's Moscow-backed president fled Kiev.
The official was not authorized to discuss the developments in Crimea by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, then what you need are The Top Ten Topics That Will Rock Your Catholic Blog, as compiled by the AoftheA Editorial Board. The EB scoured Catholic blogs for
If you want to increase traffic to your blog, and you want the combox conversations spiced up a bit, touch on any of the subjects listed below. You can either be pro or con - doesn't matter. You don't even have to write well or display logic - just have an opinion and a thesaurus and a glib turn of phrase or two, and bang! Your daily hits will spike. Your combox will quickly resemble a back alley at midnight deep in gang-contested turf. Yeah, it will get rather testy, but that's what commenting at Catholic blogs is all about: loving our neighbors - even the Anonymous ones - with ham-fisted charity and bare-knuckled mercy.
The topics are in no particular order, and the Editorial Board at AoftheA has provided a possible point of view or approach* you can take - guaranteed to generate multiple flash mobs dancing around the issues in the combox instantaneously! Good luck!
10. Why the Latin Mass/Novus Ordo is better than the Novus Ordo/Latin Mass.*DISCLAIMER: Publication of the Top Ten Topics That Will Rock Your Catholic Blog does not imply, infer, or indicate an endorsement by the AoftheA Editorial Board of any of the listed topics' subject material, in any degree whatsoever. What, you think I want a bunch of crazy people arguing in my combox?
9. Attire for Mass - shouldn't folks just be glad no one's showing up naked?
8. Medjugorje - Real, or is God just joshing?
7. "If I were bishop...my diocese would be whipped into shape in no time!"
6. So-called gay marriage - doesn't it prove that gays, deep down, really want to be straight?
5. Natural family planning - contraception with a conscience, or a scientific alternative to "Not tonight dear - I've got a headache"?
4. The Democratic Party/Republican Party represents the full embodiment of Catholic Social Teaching.
3. If the Church had 4 or 5 more folks like Michael Voris, Satan would throw in the towel and admit defeat.
2. Communion in the hand or communion on the tongue - which way proves you're the better person?
1. Gregorian Chant sounds stupid - give me "I Am The Bread Of Life" any day!
If you think this post is about you...then it probably is.
