Peregrine Semiconductor Expands Family Of High-Linearity, Low Insertion Loss SPDT RF Switches
Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: PSMI), a fabless provider of high-performance radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs), today announced the expansion of its high-linearity, low insertion loss RF switch family with the availability of the HaRP™ technology-enhanced SPDT PE42422 RF switch. The new switch provides linearity of 115 dBm IIP2, and 70 dBm IIP3; low insertion loss of 0.4 dB @ 3 GHz, and high isolation of 28 dB @ 3 GHz, enabling better overall system performance. The switch covers a wide frequency range of 100 MHz – 6 GHz and, using a nominal +3V power-supply voltage, a typical input 0.1 dB compression point of +36 dBm can be achieved. The PE42422 switch is available in a space-saving 2 x 2 mm QFN package, making it well suited for general-purpose RF switching applications, such as filter-bank switching in test equipment and base stations.
The 50 Ohm, reflective PE42422 switch features on-chip, low-voltage CMOS control logic and a wide operating voltage range of 2.3 – 5.5V, enabling it to be used in a variety of ways. ESD performance of 4 kV HBM for RF pin to ground simplifies manufacturing and improves product reliability. Additionally, with low power consumption of 120 microamperes (typical), the PE42422 switch helps to extend battery life in portable devices.
"As data rates continue to increase, RF designs are becoming more complex, and RF designers require high-linearity, low-loss switches in small packages," said Mark Schrepferman, director of marketing for Peregrine Semiconductor's High-Performance Solutions business unit. "By supporting frequencies up to 6 GHz, with high linearity, low insertion loss, and availability in the small, 2 x 2 mm QFN package, the PE42422 switch meets these requirements."
Development Tool Support
For engineers wanting to evaluate the PE42422 switch, Peregrine Semiconductor also announced the PE42422 Evaluation Kit (part # EK42422-01, $95.00), today. The kit can be ordered now, from Peregrine's global direct sales representatives and worldwide distribution partners. Packaging, Pricing & Availability The PE42422 switch is available in a 12-lead, 2 mm x 2 mm QFN package for $0.83 each, in 10,000-unit quantities. Samples and volume-production quantities can be ordered today, through Peregrine's global direct sales representatives and worldwide distribution partners.

2011 Ford Edge SUV Sport 4dr SUV AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
The good is that I love the looks of this vehicle.
The build quality seems to be very good.
I have only 1500 miles on the vehicle.
Cabin is quiet and rides smooth on large tires.
Wireless microphone for cell is very good.
But I do have some major issues...they are listed below.

2011 Ford Edge SUV Limited 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
My Touch system is completely dead.
Shut itself down on Saturday - dealer said has to order module - no idea when it will be in.
Went to another dealer who told us he has had FOUR of these vehicles back in the past week and also has no idea when the module will be available.
Meanwhile we are ready to leave for 4 months in Florida but can't go in this car.
I'm sick - disgusted - totally p***ed off at Ford.
Love my 2008 Edge and thought we were buying a second great vehicle - think again.

2011 Ford Edge SUV Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
We are coming from Lexus 350. The Edge has the looks and the tech that drew us to lease it for 3 years. It drives like a much bigger car and is a bit sluggish due to AWD weight. Unless you need it for snow, skip AWD or get the sport with the larger engine. After the first week, we needed to replace the entire windshield because the rain sensing wiper sensor fell off! Instead of just gluing it back on, dealer order new windshield. The Sync system is VERY buggy. Sometimes the rear view camera screen is black. It has frozen while connecting to bluetooth. It does not connect well to a blackberry (dealer said that it was made for an iPhone so too bad).

2011 Ford Edge SUV Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Came from a Honda 1998 CR-V bought new and sold at 210,000 miles, very few problems. Was worried about changing, but just love my Edge. I have it fully loaded with nav, sunroof and towing. The car fits like a glove, when driving or riding. The push start is really nice and the adaptive cruise is great. It's really neat when your car starts to slow down because the car in front of you has slowed down and you haven't even done anything. It makes you feel safer knowing that if you look away, your still not going to hit the car in front of you. My insurance was only $41 more every 6 months than my 1998 Honda because of all the safety features. I love the heated seats. Good Job Ford!

2011 Ford Edge SUV Limited 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Our Edge is just one month old at this point. We absolutely love this vehicle. It is quiet (traded a'05 Highlander) and much better ride than previous SUV's.The MyFord Touch system has a rather steep learning curve. I am sure it will come in time but at this point we are still learning. Getting about 20 around town and got 31 on a recent 70 mile trip (speed limit was 55)We have been stopped numerous times by people admiring this car. Looked at Lexus, Cadillac, GMC, Honda Toyota but kept coming back to the Edge.Paid invoice and got a fair trade in amount. FYI, the Ford "holdback" is 3% and the advertising allowance is approx. 1 1/2 % So even at invoice the dealer is making about $2000

2011 Ford Edge SUV SEL 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
We love this vehicle. This vehicle has an excellent ride, very comfortable interior, and it is fun to drive. It drives like a much more expensive vehicle. I traded in my 07 Malibu and there is no comparison in performance, comfort, and overall quality. The Sync system is amazing. Everyone should consider this type vehicle for a crossover. We purchased this vehicle based on overall appearance and the quality. We also respect Ford for not relying on the government and taxpayer to stay in business. So long GM!

My headlights are plenty bright dont know what people are complaining about.

I came from a 2007 Sport Trac Limited. This was the first vehicle that grabbed me. I love how it drives MT did not like the brakes, but that is one of the best things about the Edge. The interior is perfect. The touch screen and voice commands takes some practice but now works very well for me. I have had son problems with the system. The voice stopped working and memory seat would not come forward after easy exit. The dealer fixed voice but memory seat is still a problem. I really love driving this vehicle. I drive about 90 miles a day.

After one month and 800 miles the car handles and drives very good. I traded in a 1999 windstar van and it was a great van If Ford still made a van I would have bought one . My husband was a tech for 35 years for our selling dealer. No way would we have a Honda in the drive or much less a Chrysler product. I love to drive it because I am short and the drivers seat goes fore and aft and up and down . Overall this is a great car

NFC South: Madden Curse
Your quarterback, Cam Newton, will not be on the cover of Madden 13. The winner was just announced and it is Detroit receiver Calvin Johnson.
He narrowly edged out Newton in an election that included about 20 million votes. Johnson and Newton started off in a field of 64 players and fans narrowed it down through a series of head-to-head votes.
I know some Carolina fans voted against Newton because they didn't want to subject their quarterback to the curse. I'm not a big believer in curses and didn't think Newton was bound for a bad season if he had won. But I did grow up a Boston Red Sox fan, so I at least understand why some people believe in curses.
So maybe it's a good thing Newton isn't on the cover.
Meantime, let's take a quick run through some headlines around the NFC South.
- Louisiana state police and the FBI are conducting a joint investigation into allegations that New Orleans general manager Mickey Loomis had the ability to listen to opposing coaches during home games from 2002 through 2004. Loomis and the team have strongly denied the allegations.
- Bradley Handwerger writes that the Saints have a public-perception problem on their hands, and they now are viewed as guilty before having a chance to prove their innocence. How do they start getting people to view them in a more positive light? Well, I think that's going to be a process. But one good way to start that process would be to get quarterback Drew Brees signed to a long-term contract.
- I'm not a big believer in the alleged "Madden Curse''. But, apparently, a lot of people are. Here's a very thorough story on the economic impact of the curse. Keep this in mind, because the Madden 13 Cover Vote ends Wednesday and all indications are that the voting is very close between Carolina quarterback Cam Newton and Detroit receiver Calvin Johnson.
- Carolina general manager Marty Hurney and coach Ron Rivera reportedly traveled to Chapel Hill on Monday to meet with North Carolina defensive end Quinton Coples. I'm not sure exactly what to read into this, and I'm not ready to go ahead and say Coples will be Carolina's pick at No. 9. But I do think it's important to note that Hurney is not the type to play games and send out smokescreens. If he took the time to have this meeting, I'd guess there's a very real chance Coples could be the pick, if he's available at No. 9.
- Here's an overview of Mark Dominik's draft classes since taking over as general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I guess it's fair to say the jury is still out. But I also think it's fair to say the upcoming season is a crucial one for Dominik picks such as Josh Freeman, Gerald McCoy and Brian Price. If they play well, Dominik's draft history suddenly will look a lot better.
Final hours for 'Madden 13' cover vote
Carolina quarterback Cam Newton is up against Detroit receiver Calvin Johnson and reports have indicated the voting is very close.
If you haven't seen it already, here's the video of Newton making his case to be on the cover. He's not worried about the alleged "Madden curse." He wants to win this contest.
If you haven't voted yet, head on over and cast your ballot.
The winner will be announced Wednesday on SportsNation, which airs at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
Newton is up against Detroit receiver Calvin Johnson and the winner will be announced April 25.
I know there's apprehension about seeing Newton on the cover of the popular video game. That all stems from the alleged "Madden Curse''. There's obviously a precedent that some guys who have been on the cover have been injured or had bad seasons. But this hasn't applied to everyone that's been on the cover.
I say Carolina fans should embrace the fact Newton is up for this honor. It's a sign of how far the franchise has come in recent years. Newton is the reason Carolina will play two prime-time games in 2012.
Like it or not, Newton's ability and personality automatically make him a drawing card. You can vote for him or not, but be ready to see him on the cover because it probably will happen.
If you've ever spent much time around the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, you probably know or have heard of Jill Hobbs. That's largely because she's been with the team forever -- almost. Hobbs, currently the team's director of player benefits and alumni programs manager, will celebrate the 35th anniversary of her hiring on Sunday. The Buccaneers started the celebration Friday by calling all staff members together for a meeting. Then, the Bucs surprised Hobbs, who has worked in a variety of capacities throughout the years, with a celebration and some very nice gifts.
- Updating a story we mentioned previously, it's now official -- New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson has agreed to buy the New Orleans Hornets from the NBA. The league took ownership of the team in 2010. Ironically, the announcement of the deal comes on the same day the Hornets host the Utah Jazz, the same franchise that left New Orleans in 1979.
- Carolina quarterback Cam Newton is in the final four of the Madden 13 Cover Vote. Newton said he's not worried about the so-called "Madden Curse'' that has seen some players featured on the cover suffer injuries or have bad seasons. Newton said being on the cover is "what you make it."
- Take a look at this Insider post that features three underrated prospects that could be available early in the second round. The Buccaneers have a pick early in the second round and this list features a linebacker and running back -- two positions the Bucs could be considering at that time.
- No surprise here. Safety Tanard Jackson, who was released by the Bucs earlier this week, will join the Washington Redskins. Former Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris is the defensive backs coach in Washington.
- Another player released by Tampa Bay this offseason is getting interest from the Tennessee Titans. That's center Jeff Faine.
- Jeff Duncan reports the deal linebacker David Hawthorne signed with the Saints is very salary-cap friendly. That's not surprising. Despite having limited cap room, general manager Mickey Loomis has done a nice job of overhauling the linebacker corps. He also has signed Curtis Lofton and Chris Chamberlain to cap-friendly deals.
- For those tracking pre-draft visits, Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe recently visited with the Carolina Panthers.
Cam Newton in 'Madden 13' final four
I'll leave it up to you if you want to vote for Newton or not. I know there is a contingent of Carolina fans that are apprehensive about this due to the alleged Madden Curse. It's understandable because a fair amount of players who have graced the cover have had injuries or down seasons. But there have been exceptions, including one from the NFC South. That was Drew Brees, who was on the 2011 cover. Brees had a very good 2011 season, although the Saints were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by Seattle.
I understand the fear Carolina fans have about seeing Newton on the cover. But I'm all for seeing him on there. I think it would be good national exposure for a franchise that has had a few down years. I also think it would be good for the NFC South, a division in which fans sometimes have a bit of complex about other divisions and teams in larger markets getting more attention.
The Panthers never have had a player featured on a Madden cover. Brees and former Atlanta quarterback Michael Vick (2004) are the only NFC South players that have earned the honor.
Drew Brees can reverse curse, make history
The New Orleans quarterback has the chance to be the first player ever to grace the cover of the "Madden NFL'' video game two years in a row. He also has the chance to be the first player ever to be on the cover twice.
You can go here and vote for Brees. But that's totally up to you. I know people in New Orleans can be a little superstitious and a lot of people were upset last year when Brees was chosen. People love to talk about the "Madden Curse'' and there's definitely been something to it through history. But I don't think Brees really fell to the curse last season. True, the Saints didn't repeat as Super Bowl champions.
But they still made the playoffs and Brees put up pretty big numbers. Heck, if you think Brees was a victim of history, maybe the way to reverse the curse is to make sure he gets on the cover again.
If not, you also can vote for NFC South candidates Josh Freeman, Matt Ryan and Jordan Gross.
Saints' passing game clicking at right time
There might have been a bit of turbulence on takeoff, and the rise to 30 points a game took longer than expected. But in the last month, the bell has sounded indicating the Saints are free to move about the cabin, all over the field and maybe even straight back to the Super Bowl.
"Just kind of hitting our stride,'' New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees said. "Midseason form is what you guys like to call it. But we're getting into crunch time here. This is December. These are the games you want to remember. These are the games that kind of define your season in a lot of ways where you fit into the whole playoff picture. You want to play your best football in this stretch.''
That's precisely what the Saints have been doing. They've won their last five games and scored 30 or more points in each of the last four games. Brees has thrown for more than 300 yards in four of the last five games, and Robert Meachem and Devery Henderson are breaking free with regularity on deep routes.
It's starting to look a lot like last season, when the Saints were lighting up scoreboards and winning the Super Bowl. The early-season panic that swept Bourbon Street when the Saints were looking only ordinary on offense has faded with each touchdown in the five-game winning streak. The realization is setting in that the 9-3 Saints are right on the heels of the 10-2 Falcons in the NFC South.
The two teams play each other Dec. 27 in a game that could go a long way in deciding the division. But there are things to take care of before that. The Saints host St. Louis on Sunday and travel to Baltimore next week. The Falcons are pretty much guaranteed a win at Carolina on Sunday, and they have to fly cross-country to Seattle next week.
All the Saints can do at this point is take care of themselves, and recent events have put them in a prime position to do this. In some ways, the Saints are in a better spot now than they were a year ago. Last season, they started 13-0, lost their final three regular-season games and sort of limped into the playoffs.
This season, at least on offense, the Saints appear to be headed for the peak -- or at least deep down the field -- at the right moment. The deep passing game is prospering when it matters most. Meachem has at least one catch for more than 50 yards in the last two games. Henderson, who had a 57-yard catch in a Thanksgiving victory at Dallas, also seems to be emerging at the right time.
Why is the deep passing game suddenly working so well? Coach Sean Payton points first to Brees.
"He's playing at a high level,'' Payton said. "He's playing very efficiently. Each week we keep looking at opportunities for our players and it varies where the shot plays go. Meachem had a few this past week and Devery at Dallas. It's something in each plan where we want to aggressively get the ball down the field.''
Early in the year, when Brees and the offense weren't putting up huge numbers, conspiracy theories were flying. That's understandable -- Brees was on the cover of this year's "Madden'' video game, and New Orleans is a town that believes in voodoo and curses. Theories were also flying that Brees was struggling because he banged up his knee in a home loss to Atlanta and wore a brace for a few weeks. There were even rumors that Brees was playing despite major knee damage.
But all that was untrue, and the talk of the "Madden Curse'' has pretty much disappeared over the last month. Brees is back to the Brees of old, and the strongest proof of that came this week when the quarterback was asked whether he feels he's been playing better. Keep in mind, there generally is not a person more critical of Brees than Brees. But even the quarterback is willing to admit he believes he's playing better these days.
"I do,'' Brees said. "I feel like early on for whatever reason some of the breaks weren't going my way. I wasn't quite as sharp as I wanted to be. I think a lot of that was timing and just getting into it and getting going again.''
"I think we're running the ball a little better in this last quarter of the season, if you look at it statistically,'' Payton said. "If you're able to do that, you're able to get some of the looks that you would prefer in regards to your down-the-field shots."
As long as Payton is coaching this team, the Saints never will be perceived as a running team. But Payton will be the first to tell you that the running game is an important part of his offense and that he's always seeking some sort of balance between the run and the pass.
He's found it in a very unlikely place -- undrafted rookie running back Chris Ivory. With top two running backs Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas hurt for much of this season, the Saints were searching for some consistency out of the backfield early on. Defenses weren't even worrying about the running game.
Ivory broke off a 55-yard touchdown run in last week's win at Cincinnati, and he's run for five touchdowns in the last three games. Bush has returned from a broken leg to play in the last two games, although the Saints are taking a very gradual approach to getting him involved in the offense.
The news keeps getting better. Thomas hasn't played since September because of an ankle injury, but it appears he might return Sunday. Look for Thomas to be worked in slowly, like Bush, and for Ivory to keep getting the bulk of the carries, at least for the short term.
But, come the final weeks of the regular season and in the playoffs, the Saints might have three strong options out of the backfield. That's good news for the running game. But it might be even better news for the passing game and the entire offense.
"As you effectively run the ball, it's a little bit harder to sit in the same soft zone coverage and two-deep safety looks,'' Payton said. "I think it all goes hand-in-hand. Our ability to run the ball efficiently and then come off of it with play-action or a drop-back pass, I think that goes together."
Jacob in Atlanta writes: Do you think that the "Madden Curse" has anything to do with Drew Brees' recent struggles. I just thought I should ask because no one has really mentioned it yet and I would like to hear your opinion.
Pat Yasinskas: I'm not a big believer in that type of thing and it's not like Brees has gotten seriously injured or in trouble like some of the previous guys on the cover of the video game. But it is true he's not playing nearly as well as last year, but I think there are other factors at work (like injuries to his running backs and struggles on the offensive line) that have more to do with that than any curse.
Graham in New Orleans writes: I believe Brees' knee injury is much worse than Sean Payton is letting on. And that is why his deep balls are off. Also, why is every analyst saying the Saints aren't great? Our 2 starting running backs, 2 starting cornerbacks, our outside linebacker, as well as a slew of others have been out with injury. I guess it is just easier to say they're bad.
Pat Yasinskas: If Brees' knee injury truly was serious, the Saints wouldn't be throwing him out there every week. He is a very valuable piece of property and it doesn't make much sense to play him if there's a serious knee injury. As far as the analysts, I can't speak for everyone. But my take on the Saints right now is they're not great because they haven't played great. But I'm not ready to call them bad either. They're loaded with talent and, if some of the injured guys come back, this team could get back to being great in a hurry.
Chuck in New Orleans writes: A while back you put one of my questions in the mailbag. It was about the possibility that the Saints were struggling physically and mentally because they simply played more games than anyone last year. Ben Roethlisberger made the following comments this week: "A lot of the hard part about it is your off-time is so short," he said. "You play longer than anyone else (the previous year) and the time to heal and rest or get your body right (is reduced).'' Interesting!
Pat Yasinskas: Yes, I think that's a pretty honest and accurate answer. The Saints were playing for a month longer than most teams last season, and every game takes a physical toll. Payton tried to compensate for that by starting the offseason program a little later. But there's no doubt this is an issue for any team that plays deep into the postseason. The NFL operates on a clock that pretty much goes year round, and winning the Super Bowl probably put the Saints in a different time zone for much of the offseason.
Daniel in New Orleans writes: Why is Jahri Evans on your Pro Bowl list? He's not even playing close to a Pro Bowl level. Brees definitely hasn't been great either, but he's closer to the list than Evans who has frequently been beat, shown poor technique and been penalized.
Pat Yasinskas: True, Evans is not having a great year, especially when you compare it to the standard he set last year. But he's a "name'' player and a lot of coaches and players around the league will tell you he's the most talented guard in the game. Sometimes, reputation alone is enough to get someone into the Pro Bowl.
Pat Yasinskas: I think the Falcons are pretty much done making roster moves -- at least significant ones. They really didn't do anything dramatic with their defensive ends in the offseason. The coaches sincerely believe John Abraham will bounce back from a tough year and that Kroy Biermann and Lawrence Sidbury will step up. They think the interior push Jerry will bring will help the entire line and Weatherspoon can be used as a blitzer. More than anything, the coaches believe the improvements in the secondary will help the pass rush because quarterbacks will have to hold the ball longer.
James in Columbia, SC writes: With the cap free year it would seem obvious for the Carolina Panthers to extend the contracts of both Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams. With an opportunity like this most likely never occurring again, why don't you think that Jerry Richardson/Marty Hurney have done this?
Pat Yasinskas: Right or wrong, Jerry Richardson isn't handing out big contracts right now. He's bracing for a lockout in 2011.
Shane in Greer, SC writes: What do you think of the Madden Curse? Drew Brees is on the cover, so what do you think would happen if he say got injured early in the season?
Pat Yasinskas: I'm not a big believer in curses or jinxes. But history has shown there is something about being on the Madden cover. That said, Brees already has shown he can re-write history.
Luke in Virginia writes: Even with the re-signing of Darren Sharper it seems like Malcolm Jenkins will eventually take over that position because of the signing of Patrick Robinson and I believe the Saints have had Jenkins take some snaps at safety. Do you think that is the case?
Pat Yasinskas: We'll know more when I get to New Orleans' minicamp June 4 through 6. The Saints have been quiet on their plans for Jenkins so far. But I think it's fairly obvious they're thinking about moving him to free safety. They've got a bunch of cornerbacks and they need to get Jenkins on the field. Sharper likely still is recovering from his reported micro-fracture knee surgery, so I'm expecting to see Jenkins getting some work at safety when I get to New Orleans.
Jeremy in Reno, NV writes: This seems to be one of the most bipolar offseasons for the Panthers in recent memory. The analysts are all over the spectrum, predicting a potentially strong playoff team, to the third pick in the draft. John Fox always seems to pull out a playoff caliber season when not much is expected of the team. Some say the lame duck year will ruin Fox, others say it will bring out the best of him. What do you think Pat? What seems more likely? A playoff contender Panthers, or a team that picks in the top 5 in 2011?
Pat Yasinskas: I understand why the analysts are all over the board with the Panthers. They have a lot of questions to answer and I can see them going either way. That said, you hit on a good point. Fox is at his best when expectations aren't high. He's a good coach and I expect him to coach the heck out of this team and I think Carolina at least contends for a playoff spot.
Seth in Edgewater, MD writes: Gerald McCoy & Brian Price need a nickname.."The Twin Hull's?"
Pat Yasinskas: Not bad. But let's give Tampa Bay's rookie defensive tackles a little time to create their own identity.
Christopher in Raleigh, NC writes: It's coming up on the 5th anniversary of the day my son passed away in his sleep at the age of 3 months due to what I was told was S.I.D.S. This time of year is always especially hard for me and when I saw the article you had about the Matt Bryant I wondered if you wrote about that game he kicked the winning field goal against Green Bay the day after he buried his son (something I never could've done!). I found the article and wanted to tell you that I found it therapeutic to read as it took me back to that day where I cried like a baby watching that game. I wish I was a wealthy or scientific man so that I could make sure this never happened to another parent. I will always look up to Matt for what he did and continues to do, and I thank you for writing such a great article.
Pat Yasinskas: Thank you very much for sharing your story. I know there are no easy answers, but I'm glad you were able to get some therapeutic value from Matt Bryant's story. I have gotten to know Matt and his wife, Melissa, quite well over the last few years and they are great people. I admire their strength and particularly admire Matt's perseverance. In addition to losing Tryson, Matt also lost his father last year, but has handled that with a lot of strength and dignity.

There is good news and more good news in this item sent to us by Daniel Cox.
The NFC South, a division that seems to thrive on playing the old "no respect'' card isn't getting any respect when it comes to the cover of 2010 Madden NFL video game by EA Sports. The nine finalists for the cover can be found here.
That's fine. Guys like Drew Brees, Steve Smith, DeAngelo Williams and Matt Ryan and their fans can take the perceived slight and run with it.
But the better news might be that the NFC South is avoiding the dreaded "Madden Curse.'' As Cox details, the guys who have graced box cover throughout history have met with some strange luck. That's especially true in the case of Atlanta's Michael Vick who was on the cover in 2004 and promptly broke his leg in a preseason game.
In related news, Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said he'd be happy to trade the rights to Vick for a couple of Ryan (Matt, not Nolan) rookie cards. Still no takers.

Mini golf- best course? Winter Summerland or Fantasia?
We are headed down in a couple weeks and I want to get to a mini golf course while there. I'd like to hear opinions on which course you like. I have a course I leaning toward, but I'd like to hear some input from y'all.....annnnnnnnd GO! popcorn::
we like winter summerland better than fantsasy but fantasy has a more advance course if interested in that!
I have never played at either but this is on the top of my list!
Love Winter Summerland. Definately NOT a hard course, but 1 where you will never, ever see that hole duplicated somewhere else. I like the winter side best!
We played at Winter/Summer and at Fantasia. I enjoyed both. However I prefer Fantasia. They actually have two regular mini-golf layouts and also, as previously mentioned, a bit more challenging layout. Also, it is a short walk to Boardwalk and Y&BC, so it is convienient to have lunch or a drink and relax after or before. Enjoy!
Winterland. Fantasia was hot and boring. One of the courses had nothing but greens and extremlu hard. The CM said most people leave halfway through.
My only tip would be that the lines at Fantasia can be longer since most people want to do the 'fun' course. If it's busy, it could be a while. I think W/S is a little more private and I feel like there is more theming. Both are really nicely done though, it's hard to pick a favorite.
Ok, it sounds like my leaning choice is the one to do, Winter Summerland. Thanks for the input y'all I appreciate it! :thumbsup2
We went to Winter Summerland a few weeks ago and my kids lived it. You choose which side you want to go on ( winter or summer), we choose winter since it's Christmas time and it was really fun! We will be back to try summer next time :)
Winter summerland!!
Did all 4 courses in Oct. Definitely like Fantasia Gardens long course the best. Most challenging.
Winter summerland! :thumbsup2
We did Winter Summerland just last week and really enjoyed it. We did the winter side. I really liked all the "surprises" you get along the course. I think next time we will do the summer side. :-)
guess we're the "odd" ones (not surprising;)), but we like fantasia gardens much, much more than winter/sumerland.
FG feels more upbeat, and better kept than WL. we've golfed at WL quite a few times, and something on the course was always broken/nonfunctioning, debris was on the course (candy wrappers, bottle caps, paper, etc), and the CMs appeared bored with their jobs :confused3 we play minigolf fairly often in WDW (average about 10-15 rounds over 10-11 days). the only bad side of FG is that it gets too crowded for us on fri & sat nights - but the BW is within walking distance for another entertainment option :) |

Slovakia held a brief 2-0 lead early, and Panik's goal in the late second cut USA's lead to 4-3, but the floodgates opened from there. Panik's goal came on a tap-in from the side of the USA net. This is his second U-20 World Junior Championship (WJC). Last year he had two goals and five points in what was considered by many to be a disappointing showing throughout seven tournament games. Previous to that he had 10 points (four goals) in six games at the 2008 U-18 WJC and two assists in six games at the 2007 U-18 WJC. Slovakia next plays Sunday vs. Latvia, who lost 16-0 to Canada in their opener.

A New 14-Year-Old Singing Sensation?
Is Brendan MacFarlane America's new 14-year-old singing sensation? You decide?
Is Brendan MacFarlane America's new 14-year-old singing sensation? You decide?
I recently hurt someone with words and in trying to make amends, I came up with a list of songs that say "I'm Sorry".
We've all seen the video remix of Taylor Swift's new song 'Trouble' featuring goats, now see it featuring a paper towel dispenser.
David Bowie fans, David Bowie's video for 'The Stars (Are Out Tonight)', the second single from his album 'The Next Day', is here.
The original video of Taylor Swift's 'Trouble' featuring goats, yes goats, debuted on Youtube 4 days ago, but someone decided it needed more goats...lol.
The Songwriters Hall of Fame has announced its 2013 induction class, and it's heavy with 70's & 80's rock icons. Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith will highlight the June 13th ceremony. Mick Jones and Lou Gramm of Foreigner will be inducted as well.
A recent study conducted by Confused.com and London Metropolitan University professor Simon Moore found that some songs actually encourage safe driving. The list of songs, which includes "Come Away With Me" by Norah Jones, "I'm Yours"
David Ryan Harris has written a song that answers Adele's 'Someone Like You'.
Of all the versions of Carley Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe', this version from the residents of Waverley Mansion Retirement Home in Ontario, Canada might just be my favorite.
Alicia Keys sings that she's "too busy finding myself" on 'Brand New Me,' a new piano ballad all about personal growth that appears on her upcoming 'Girl on Fire' album.
'American Idol' winner Phillip Phillips' 'Home' was the soundtrack for a lot of our summer -- from its prevalence in the Olympics to its simple down home charm, it was a cozy, breezy listen and radio staple. And based on the preview snippets of Phillips' debut, 'The World From the Side of the Moon,' he's really got a knack for that.

We have a 33" x 9" under-cabinet rear-vented range hood. It's about 20" deep, the first 12" are under the cabinet. It needs to be replaced. Rather than throw in the towel and retrofit it with a 30"x7" hood, putting trim over the gaps, I'd like to see if I can find a supplier who might have some "new old stock". eBay has done away with its "I Want to Buy..." section, so if you have some other suggestions on how to find an old discontinued size, I would be grateful. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Is a custom hood in your budget? If your time is valuable, it might end up cheaper. :) |
I contacted the one company I heard about that makes custom hoods, VentaHood, but they don't deal with small stuff like this, they told me. They build 'em BIG, high margin. Do you know of another company that will make them in custom sizes? |

Tuesday, May 19
Great American Ball Park
Attendance: None
Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Cole Hamels hurled six solid innings and the Phillies held off the Reds, 4-3, in the opener of a three-game set.
Hamels (2-2) struck out seven while yielding three runs on five hits and a pair of walks in Philadelphia's fifth straight win. Brad Lidge allowed the winning run to reach base but closed out the victory with his eighth.
"I'm hoping I won't throw that many pitches in the next couple games," said Hamels, who threw 117 pitches. "I hopefully can stay under the 110 mark and get seven or eight innings. I think this is a good awakening for my mental and physical shape."
Ryan Howard hit a solo home run, and Jimmy Rollins sparked a three-run fifth inning with an RBI double.
"It's just J-Roll being J-Roll," Howard said of his teammate finally heating up. "You knew at some point his game was going to come back, and he started putting it together and things are going to work for him."
Jerry Hairston Jr. and Jay Bruce each hit solo blasts for the Reds, who have dropped four straight following a three-game sweep of Arizona.
Johnny Cueto (4-2) lasted seven innings, allowing four runs on seven hits with no walks and four strikeouts. The right-hander entered with a 1.93 earned-run average but was saddled with his first loss in five decisions.
"You know it's going to happen sooner or later," Reds manager Dusty Baker said of eventually snapping a long losing streak. "You don't like it when you're in the middle of it, but it's going to happen to the best of clubs. Certainly we have to bounce back tomorrow -- we have no choice."
Rollins broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth with an RBI double to right. The two- bagger left runners on second and third, and Chase Utley's run-scoring single followed by Raul Ibanez's sacrifice fly gave the visitors a 4-1 edge.
The Reds made it a one-run game in the sixth thanks to Hairston's leadoff homer and Ramon Hernandez's sacrifice fly following Brandon Phillips' triple.
But the Reds stranded a runner in scoring position in both the seventh and eighth, and had runners on first and second with one out in the ninth.
Lidge, though, fanned Willy Taveras on a full count slider and induced a game- ending fly out to center off the bat of Hairston to end the game.
Both starters essentially made one mistake in the first four frames. Howard took a Cueto offering into the seats in left center in the second frame, and Bruce worked a full count before recording his 12th homer of the year to tie things, 1-1, in the fourth.

I got mine from a Mac counter after trying many colors I went with this color. The color has minor problems it gets very dry and crusty on your lips but the color stays on it stains your lips but I do like how opaque the color is it last long but I find myself applying any EOS or lip gloss before the lipstick so I don't feel dried out during the day but it gives it a lipgloss feel and color to it rather then lipstick when doing that and I like a hydrating lipstick that won't look like lipgloss over very bold sand opaque and pretty
As much as I love the color and Mac products, this lipstick just applies so patchy.
Even after exfoliating intensively, and applying lip balm I can't get it to work.
I actually use this lipstick as a stain. Using my finger I dab just enough on my lips so that bubblegum pink colour shows then I go over it with gloss. Gets lots of compliments and it's a very pretty daytime look. I have not yet used it as a "lipstick" on its own but will edit when I do ☺
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a very fun color. It is a cool-toned, bubblegum/neon pink, and it definitely dries matte. This lipstick has great staying power, and looks nice on my light/cool skin. Great color for going out, I use it occasionally!

After months yes months of hearing every female in my circle rave about this I finally caved.It wasn't easy as I tried it out at Mac & also at home using my sister or friends. No matter what it just didn't wow me. I ended up buying Heroine which I love but makes my sister look ghastly.I looked at Pink Pigeon which is nice but I have an exact dupe Hot Spot by VS(swatched & compared on lips). I then looked at FOFab which was also similar to something I have & too Fuchsia based. So there I was back at Candy Yum Yum. I admit it is very drying even for a Matte as I wear Nars matte all the time w/ no dryness. It does go on patchy if you apply directly from the bullet.However if you apply with a lip brush its smooth sailing. Color is gorgeous & unique, once you figure out how to work it for your skin/undertones. I like it because its a true pink & doesn't pull another color on me. I have Yellow/Orange undertones so a lot of things like pinks/reds always pull orange on me. It also brightens your face and no you are not too old to wear this for my ladies over 30.

Talk about awful lipsticks! Don't get me wrong, the shade is gorgeous and vibrant but the formula is just outright cheap. It applies like a dollar store lipstick; patchy, blotchy and low coverage. When I try to build it up, it just slides around everywhere and it's not even opaque. I know it's not the matte formula because my other matte lipsticks like lady danger, kinda sexy and please me work just fine. It's THIS lipstick and it's such a shame because it's a gorgeous colour. I'm definitely returning this for pink pigeon. If you have pigmented lips, skip this. So not worth it.
LOVE THIS LIPSTICK!!! It looks so gorgeous on and instantly draws attention to your face. I love wearing it with white and it's the perfect pop of colour

I was afraid that it could look too light on me,as the snob from mac,(im used to red lipsticks),but i'm pale so it looks extremely pink! its awesome to give a pop of color to outfits and looked amazing on me,at beginning i thought it was too neon but now im so used to the color that im loving it,its already a basic pink for me! lol
Gets very matte so i recommend to exfoliate your lips first so it wont get too dry and flaky,and if you live in a hot place like me (northeast brazil),keep it on the fridge to a matte,more long lasting,texture.
I LOVE this lipstick it's like neon pink!
I love that it works with soooo many skin tones and looks great on a lot of people.
It's a matte lipstick though it's quite creamy when you apply and it's super pigmented! It's lasts all day and it's amazing. No other lipstick can compare to this. I know some people like Schiap more than this shade but I find that ridiculous as this is more of a true neon pink while Schiap is more of a fuchsia and looks too berry looking and dull on me.
This has a nice blue undertone to it which works well with both lift and dark skin. It does look a little darker in person but blue toned lippies definitely look a lot brighter in photos which is nice. Don't get me wrong this is like super bright in person too but in photos it definitely stands out more and it's lovely.

TCCAP looks to divest interest in Northern Forest Heritage Park
According to the release, "TCCAP has many reservations planned for the park, expects to honor those reservations on terms previously agreed upon, and to make the transition seamless for those who have scheduled events there in the upcoming months or who enjoy this community resource."
Every fall, some of the Northeast's best lumberjacks stop for a day at Northern Forest Heritage Park to test their skills in competition.
The festival takes place at the park's recreation logging camp on the banks of the Androscoggin River, and includes food, fun, and boat tours up and down the river. It's not the only annual event at the camp, and not even the most popular. That honor goes to RiverFire/HorrorFest, which brings out the community with its music, ghouls, bouncy houses, food vendors and bonfires on the river's piers.
Organizing those events, lining up sponsors, and maintaining the buildings and grounds takes money and manpower, and for several years now that manpower has been supplied by TCCAP. Though events at the park are growing in attendance, when all costs are added and subtracted, TCCAP is losing money on the park.
The Northern Forest Heritage Park Trust hired its first director in 1995. The logging camp opened in 2002, a project that was aligned with the park's dedication to the history of the working forest and the multicultural heritage of northern forest. Previously a standalone nonprofit with a board of trustees, the park's management was taken over by TCCAP in 2007.
At the Berlin City Council's Jan. 28 work session, Councilor Diana Nelson reported that representatives of TCCAP had met with Brookfield, Berlin, Northway Bank and the Androscoggin Valley Chamber of Commerce. They discussed the possible role of those entities in the future of the park. She said the group did not think it had enough information to move forward.
The nonprofit is also looking to fill the vacant chief financial officer position. TCCAP has had a special trustee overseeing it since mid-December, and is continuing to review programs and restructure in order to get control over its finances.
On Wednesday TCCAP will hold a news conference at its offices in Berlin at 30 Exchange Street.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Reigning Horse of the Year Wise Dan won his seventh consecutive start Saturday night at Churchill Downs, taking the Grade 2 $168,450 Firecracker Handicap by two lengths.
The 6-year-old gelded son of Wiseman's Ferry carried 128 pounds, giving at least 11 pounds to his four rivals. Three entrants scratched from the original eight-horse field.
Wise Dan covered a ``yielding'' turf mile in 1:39.82 for his 16th win in 23 career starts. The winner's share of $104,439 pushed his career earnings to $4,164,070.
Wise Dan, winner of last year's Breeders' Cup Mile, won the 2011 Firecracker in his first career turf start.
The winner paid $2.40 and $2.10. Lea returned $3. Seruni was third. There was no show betting in the five-horse field.
