Katelyn Pippy has two passions in her life, ice hockey and acting.
Last week, for one sublime afternoon at the Carolina Ice Palace, she was able to combine her two loves while shooting a few scenes for an upcoming episode of the television show "Army Wives."
Pippy, 16, is in her second season as Emmalin Holden — the sometimes rebellious daughter of Brigadier Gen. Michael Holden (Brian McNamara) and Claudia Joy Holden (Kim Delaney) — on the Lifetime Network series. When she's not in front of the camera, Pippy is crisscrossing the country playing goalie for Team Pittsburgh, an elite all-girls travel team.
"I don't know what I love more, acting or hockey." she said. "It's a constant struggle for me. I really don't want to have to pick one over the other. Right now, I'm trying to balance the two."
Her interest in hockey began before she was old enough to attend school.
"I made up this statistic, but I believe it. I think 70 to 80 percent of girls that play hockey do it because their brothers played," Pippy said. "I would follow my brother around from rink to rink and I really started to love the game. One day I asked my mother if I could play. I think I was five, and she enrolled me in a learn-to-play class and I went from there."
Not long after taking up hockey, she discovered her other obsession — acting. Her first paying gig was a commercial for Pearle Vision Eye Centers when she was 9. Two years later, she landed her first role on a television show with an appearance on the USA Network series "Monk." She's had a guest-starring role on Disney's "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody" and in the movie "The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It." She was the runner-up to Miley Cyrus for Disney's smash hit Hannah Montana.
"Army Wives" is Pippy's first extended stint on a television series. She appeared on 16 episodes in the show's second season last year and is scheduled to be in as many this year.
Pippy's mother, Kathy, said that while her daughter's schedule can be demanding, she has never thought of asking her to give up hockey.
"She's done it so long and she loves it so much that it's never entered my mind," Kathy said. "Some people worry she might get injured, but she's played for so long I've never given it a second thought."
One of the show's writers suggested having Pippy's character play hockey. She jumped at the opportunity. The episode is scheduled to air in September.
"I never ever thought I'd be able to play hockey as an actor," Pippy said. "I guess somewhere down the road I was like, 'yeah, maybe I'll do a hockey movie' but you don't actually think you'll get the chance. It's amazing that the writers are giving me this opportunity to add this to the role."
What made the afternoon even more memorable was that Pippy was able to share her experience with many of her teammates from Team Pittsburgh.
"It was awesome to have all my friends down here with me doing the two things I love the most in life," she said. "I'm speechless. I'll always remember this day and to have it on film is something I'll always be able to look back on. I get to show them what I do. I think they thought it would be a little more glamorous than it really is."
Pippy hopes to continue her acting and hockey career in college.
"I definitely want to play hockey in college," she said. "It's something that I've always wanted to do. Hockey is something that I love so much and it's not something I'm always going to be able to do at a competitive level, so I want to play for as long as I can."
'Army Wives' star Katelyn Pippy got to show off her hockey skills in the filming of an episode of the show to air in September.

Puerto Vallarta is located on the Pacific coast of Mexico and is a primarily known for its beach resort. It is smaller than Acapulco and has more of a Mexican feel, although it still attracts over 2 million visitors each year. Puerto Vallarta is located in the middle of the large Bay of Banderas and offers many beaches, water activities, and nature walks. There is also a historic town section where you can get a feel for some of the 19th and early 20th century history.
Questions answered about visiting Puerto Vallarta
What's the night life like in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico and does anyone have any suggestions on day excursions and restaurants? Off to Puerto Vallarta later this year on a volunteering programme so any; Tips & Advice? Must see places? Things you have to do? :) I'm heading to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in a month. Anyone know any sites, attractions, restaurants, clubs, activities, etc that shouldn't be missed? Ask a travel question about Puerto Vallarta
Travel Tips from people who've been to Puerto Vallarta
I've been to PV on Spring Break for the past 5 years and it's worth going back every time! What the city lacks in beaches, it makes up for in nightlife. The Collage foam night is epic and shouldn't be missed and some of the bars on the main strip are lots of fun as well. It's also probably one of the safer Spring Break destinations in Mexico. I've always been with friends, and we've never felt threatened or unsafe. Good tip? (+1) Every year Puerto Vallarta seems to become more popular as a gay vacation spot. With a great climate, beautiful ocean bay, beaches, mountains and lush tropical jungle as the setting, Puerto Vallarta is a small city devoted to serving the visiting traveler. While retaining much of it's old style Mexican charm, Vallarta has over the years built up the infrastructure of a modern resort community. Internet cafes, ATM machines, fine restaurants, excellent airport, modern medical services, drinkable water supply, and a safe, tolerant environment are now all part of the Vallarta scene. So visiting a tropical paradise doesn't have to be a choice between a modern but sterile place or the alternative of a quaint but primitive existence. Puerto Vallarta has all the quaintness, without compromising on any of the modern conveniences. Whether you're just considering a vacation here, someone who has just visited once before, or a virtual resident who comes every winter for months at a time, you'll find plenty of useful information here. Vallarta now has over a dozen hotels, guesthouses, and bed and breakfasts that cater to our community, several different gay bars and gay clubs, a world famous gay beach, great gay trips on boats, special tours including evenings out at natural hot springs, and some great restaurants. The gay scene in Vallarta runs the gamut, from gay beach bums, to the A-list couples who winter here and entertain themselves and their friends in high style. Vallarta is popular with all sorts of gay men and women from many places around the globe. Younger and older, European and from the Americas or Australia, the cosmopolitan mix is part of what makes this an exciting place to see and be seen. And in case you're worried that this means not meeting some beautiful Mexicans, rest assured that many "friends of Dorothy" from Vallarta and from the larger cities within Mexico, especially Guadalajara, also come here to relax on our famous beaches and grace our clubs at night. Vallarta is in the tropics, on the Pacific Ocean side of Mexico, tucked into a mountainous coastal area. We're located on one of the largest, deepest, and most stunning natural bays in the world, Bahia de Banderas, which supports almost any form of water recreation imaginable. This bay is where the humpback whales come every winter, where dolphins nest year round, and deep sea fishing is excellent. The winds are great here for sailing. Surfing is good on the north coast of the bay. And it isn't overrun with development. Almost thirty miles of the bay's coast is completely inaccessible by road and therefore pristine and devoid of development. The mountains surrounding the bay are lush with tropical jungle, the beaches in some areas are framed by these mountains that come right down to the water's edge, and, best of all, none of it is ruined by pollution or any industrial ugliness. In Puerto Vallarta the air is clean, the sun shines without rain almost all winter long, and the sunsets - well, they're as spectacular as you could possibly ask for. Good tip? (0) If you are gay spend your time in the old part of town, most southerly portion of the large beach. The famous 'blue chairs' are set out in front of or near The Tropicana Hotel. Everyone will want a peice of you! Watch out.
Three years ago the crime was light, some poor souls went to buy marijuana on the beach and ended up being set-up! Drugs are sold by informants and the police collect you for a trip to jail or your instant banking account. Bring lots of money.
Don't do anything foolish like wearing big gold jewelry around town, especially at night.
Breakfast at El Toucan, on the first floor of Hotel Posada de Roger is great. Very close to the beach, shopping, gay bars and other amenities. Roger's is a good hotel too... you can negotiate a price for a longer block of time, in CASH, that is a better deal. If you don't mind sleeping and awakening to the sound of trucks.
If you DO MIND, the Tropicana or other beach-front Hotels, will send you into slumber with the hissing mystic sounds of the ocean. During an El Nino a couple of years ago, though, I heard an American couple in the lobby of the Tropicana complaining that the sound of the waves on the shore was TOO LOUD AT NIGHT!
Just think about that for a bit... Good tip? (0) Recent Updates for Puerto Vallarta

Is Ben ready for the next level
Ben had an unbelievable, record setting year..better than anyone else in History. Now, do you think he continues to build on that this year, or does he struggle alittle bit more than we'd like. Its not uncommon for a rookie to come in and play like gang busters at first..then defensive coaches start to get more film and find out more about his strenghts and weaknesses, and they struggle.
Even if he does struggle some, we've got the defense, running game and special teams to help him out and back him up. I know he's working hard to get a better handle on the offense, and reading defenses, this offseason. So here's to that paying off in a BIG WAY ! |
Re: Is Ben ready for the next level
Ben is ready for the next level.This year he knows he`s the guy. And that we are mortgaging our future on the next couple seasons. He will take full advantage of his surrounding cast. I really think he felt bad for the Bus. He`ll get him to Detroit. And we all know, that we can take a plane, or we can take a train, but we`ll take the big old BUS |
Re: Is Ben ready for the next level
Im with you cleve...Ben is one of those players that doesnt come around to often, and we got him. I think he's got all the tools and the mindset to go far and get us that one for the thumb.
I know how much he wanted a ring for the bus, for cowher, and of course the city and himself. He places the blame of that game on himself, and u have to admire that. Even though he didnt solely lose the game for us, it shows class to say that. |

Re: Is Ben ready for the next level
ya the jags game was very good showed alot in that game.
Re: Is Ben ready for the next level
I think Ben could be ready. He will be working hard in the off season. I think the biggest things are decision making and fighting the urge to be "the man". First too many times late in the season would he throw a pick or take a sack at the wrong time. I think Ben needs to work on his mental clock and make a decision in under 3-4 seconds. Next is him wanting to improve himself by putting too much emphasis on him. Just let the backs run. Give Ward and El the ball short and let them break tackles. You don't have to make every play.

The Smarter Wi-Fi Coffee Machine combines "bean-to-brew" technology with a connected companion app so you can make your morning cuppa from bed.

Though it's easy to use and having an extra band can result in higher speeds, the Linksys EA9200 doesn't have enough to justify its over-the-top price tag.

Instead of a cochlear implant or a traditional hearing aid, this device would fit like a retainer inside a patient's mouth. Combining the device with training the brain to decode impulses from the tongue's nerves, you would theoretically be able to "hear" sound.

evokes appropriate protective reflexes and/or behaviors. An example of an acute, protective, nociceptive reflex is withdrawing your finger from a heated surface you touch unexpectedly. If you analyze the event, you will note that you actually removed your finger from the heated surface before you perceived the event as painful. Another more common type of protective pain is that associated with tissue inflammation and tissue repair. One common example is postsurgical pain, which is longer lasting than the pain produced when one touches a heated surface.
There is also pain that I consider abnormal because it serves no protective value. Examples of these types of pains in humans are those associated with terminal cancer, nerve injury, and after a stroke. Some of the pain syndromes

Secret WishesLive for a day,Far beyond the sun.Live for a night,Hidden on the dark of the moon.Live for tomorrow's unknown,And yesterday's memories.Fly on your dreams,Awake and asleep.Fight for your soul,If you lose it, no one will know.Swim deep in an ocean of tears,Shed for broken dreams,And faces unseen.Find the heart that beats in the dark,Cup it gently-it will shatter if jarred.Whisper secrets as it beats,Slow and deep,Haunting wishes slip away,As the heart tears them away.Hold tight, weary man,For the end has not yet come,Riches still to be discovered,In this world of wonder.Ancient voices whisper,Their lives hidden deep,Their mysteries still uncovered,Deep within the past.Ghost of yesterday slip past,Their broken souls weep,For dreams unknown,While your heart still beats,And your mind still thinks,Know an answer's always there.Lose not your dreams in misery,Hold them tight and still believe,That one day they will come to pass,In this thre

NumbBlock the sun,And we all will surely die.Block the heart,And we will surely be numb.The heart and mind,Connected through all,Should the link break,All will fall.Numb is a heart blocked by a wall,Numb is a mind that thoughts effect not at all,Numb is a body that has no soul.Numb is the world who is blind to it all.
MagicLove may be magic,And magic may be a lie,But I've lied,And held the magic inside.
We WishWe wish,We wish for life.We wish,We Wish for wealth.We wish,We wish for love.We wish,We wish upon a star,To make dreams come true,To make life brighter,We wish.We wish,We wish for health.We wish,We wish for fame.We wish,We wish as flip the coin into the well,For such a small token we want grand things,We wish for all matter of things,Big and small,We wish.We wish,We wish because we'd rather wish than grab our dreams,And make them come true ourselves,We wish for a job that we love,We wish for happiness,When happiness cannot be wished for,We wish.We wish,We wish for things that cannot be granted,By genies,Stars,Wells,Gods,Or God.We wish.We should take our lives by the hand,And show it where we want to be,What are dreams are,What we wish upon that star,Should be something we're willing to fight for,Yet we wish,And dream,And dream and wish,We wish. What do you wish?

Cicero Tribute: Madness is MerryMadness is merryThe merry man's fightTo hold on to sanityLost in the nightThe silence so emptyHeld smothering tightEven blind eyes could seeThere's no end in sightHis family goneWhen things had felt rightHunted and burnedIn flames so brightTheir acceptance a memorySeeming so faintWhen consumed by the jesterWho's laughter did taintNo one to hold himNo one who speaksNo one to tell himThe words that he seeksPraying for a whisperTo end his heart's strifeThe echoing laughterCreeps into his life
I Write.Not to make a perfect world, But to find beauty in our flawed one.Because It makes me feel like a god, I can create mountains,And then destroy them.I don't like this world,So I create my own.Because I want to prove emotions exist,I want to make people scream, cry, throw things, all because of my words.On the off chance I can create something just a little more than words on a page.Because no one really listens,When I talk.Because I'm in love with the sound the keys make when you type,And the way the pencil moves over paper.Because I want people to care about my characters,The way I care about theirs.Because I can't live forever,But I can create something that will.But mostly,Mostly,Because I want to change the world.
Kiss GoodnightGoodnight my darlingThe day is overThe sunlight fadesAnd dark moves closerIt creeps through the wallsAnd across the ceilingUntil it floods the roomWith a deep grim feelingYou suck in airAs the dark fills you lungsYou try to yellBut the fear steals you tongueYou rip at your throatTo open the airwaysBut only succeedIn shortening you life's pageBlood on your handsAnd flesh under your nailsOnly make it harderFor others to hear you wailsThe room begins to fadeAs you lose your frightAnd the darkness kisses youWith a silent Goodnight
I Dream A DreamEvery time I sleep I dream a dream of you and meMy dreams of you are all I can seeDreams of your laugh and smileAnd how rosy you get when you laugh for a whileIn my dreams you kiss my lipsIn my dreams I caress your hipsWe lay in bed for hours at a timeLoving so much should be a crimeWhen you cry in my dream they are tears of joyAnd when you blush in my dreams you play coyMy dreams are sweet when I dream of you at nightMy dreams drown my fright with lightDreams of your heart are just what I needWhen my being is itching to be freedMy dreams fill and overflow with you like a cupMy dreams are so sweet I don't want to wake up.In the morning I know it's throughAnd I wish for my dreams to come trueI want to be in heaven with the one I adoreSo I lay here with my blood on the floorMy eyes grow weary- as my skin gets coldMy tears and my blood- are a scene to beholdI breathe in deeply- one… two… threeAnd I dream a dream -of you and me
LonelyLonely is sitting a dark room with no one there- the flickering light more irritating than helpful.Lonely is standing in a crowd- a grain of sand on a beach, a molecule of air in the sky.Lonely is not special, because lonely is a painting of greys and browns that molded together create nothing more than the parts in the whole.Lonely is a question, and never a statement, and Lonely is painful in this way. You can never gain closure when Lonely is in your heart.Lonely tears apart, not mends, and oftentimes you find yourself taking steps back instead of forward- no matter how hard you fight for grip.Lonely is clingy but detached and explosive but contained.Lonely is tears with no one to dry them up, and a broken glass with no one to sweep it up.Lonely...Lonely is me.
Did You Love MeDid you love me then?Do you love me now?If you ever didCan you tell me how?How you could leave meAnd love someone newWas it really that easyTo leave me and youYou live in our houseAnd sleep in our roomWhile I share with a mouseIn a depressing gloomI still have your pictureThe one where you laughWhen you loved me for sureAnd we didn't have a pastI still catch a whiffOf your love and perfumeBut if I step off this cliffI will be with you soonSo meet me at the endAnd we'll ride off togetherAnd our souls will mendTogether forever
DreamcatcherMy dreams will not leave meThey reside in my headMy thought are spinningAs I lay in my bed My dreams of a womenCloaked all in blackShe beckons me to followThrough a long and dark track I pinch and I shakeTo escape these fearful sightsBut no matter what I doIt will always, always be night I close my eyes tightAs I count to threeMy eyes creep slowly openTo see her staring at me She does not moveShe does not thinkShe only stareAs my heart sinks My mind twistUntil finally it fracturesOh how I wishI had a dreamcatcher
ChooseI love her and I love you.Whose law says I have to chooseBetween her and you what do I do?Do I choose to lose her not you?Do I choose to love her not you?Why can't I choose both of you?Why can't I love both of you?Why must my love be taboo?If I spew my heart to youThen it is her and I who will bruise.But if it is you that I refuse to pursueYou will accuse my love as untrue.But I assure you that I love you too.I cannot still my blood as it brews.What would you do if you were in my shoes?What would you do who would you chooseMe, her, or you, who?
RebornReborn from ashes,A past life gone to waste,To burn in the blaze,A soul whose name is lost,Shall walk again,Out of the flames,And into the light of another life.

EyeTV for Mac User Reviews
"my eyetv device no longer worked with the update"
Version: EyeTV 3.6
works on any mac that is 2007 or newer
the eyetv usb device may be unsupported, and the upgrade is $79
skip this update unless its going to cost you $0 to update
"uses more CPU"
Version: EyeTV 3.6
adds more features and is updated for more recent macs...
I have an older macbook (core2duo) and have noticed when set to "progressive scan" the video now stutters a little and is not smooth like it was in older versions of eyetv.
This is case of all older computers, new software demands more performance from the hardware. I am trying to downgrade the eyetv software to an older version now.....
"Regrettable purchase"
Version: EyeTV 3.5.6
Easy to install and setup
Great UICons
This is potentially a great piece of software. However you need to be checking it regularly to see if it works. In my experience it regularly forgets to stop a recording and will just fill up the HDD on which you are storing programs.
I'm using it on a Mac Mini (2011) with a 1TB HDD and an Elgato NetStream. The usual scenario is that i program one or two programs to record during the week, go away, come back on Friday night, and it will have not stopped a random recording from early in the week, so that I have a show that should be say a 30 min or one hour recording, but it will have recorded the next 24 or 36 hours on that station. I am now using V3.5.6 but all versions seem to have the same problem.
Customer support has worked hard to try to rectify, but I am giving up and will purchase a stand alone PVR to replace. -
"Excellent software/hardware"
Version: EyeTV 3.5.4
Works every time
EyeTV 250 Plus has problematic power connection and case heat distortion
"Very Impressive Software"
Version: EyeTV 3.5.4
Works Great
Very Reliable
Great Remote Access with iPhone
Wake on WAN request, daemon even starts app.Cons
cost (a little high)
Great job on an excellent product!
"Very good, but..."
Version: EyeTV 3.5.1
see below and please post if I am missing something
see below and please post if I am missing something
..This version is a bit of a step back IMHO.
The only thing I can see as that step backward is that to access the main onscreen menu one has to go from fullscreen to a windowed screen thus making it very "Un-TV like" and making it more like a computer program.
My computer IS my TV/entertainment center and when in TV mode I don't want it to even resemble a computer (if/when possible)...having to resize the main TV screen to reveal the guide and recordings is VERY clunky.
version 3.4 is NOT like that and I have gone back to that version until there is a fix.
I may be missing something because no one else seems to be complaining about this change...if I am please post a reply to this review. -
"Have happily used EyeTV for several years. Love it!"
Version: EyeTV 3.5
Easy to set up and use.
Sorry that the latest versions/updates no longer support Power PC processor.
"Irons out the few creases that existed previously"
Version: EyeTV 3.5
Always been easy to use and gets better
Would like the e.p.g. to sort better into categories on the basis of the colour coding
"It does everything that I ask-what could be better?"
Version: EyeTV 3.5
it works great
no negatives
A great investment!!!!
"I have used EYE TV for a couple years and is fabulous!"
Version: EyeTV 3.4.3
The instructions are clear & consise. Easy to to the work!
I have no "cons" The program is great!!

"Road Home program amended to assist owners of homes of modest value," - The Times-Picayune
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan came to town carrying a letter that could help thousands of area homeowners finally finish their renovations.
The letter, which Donovan gave on Thursday to Louisiana Recovery Authority head Paul Rainwater, approved a change to the Road Home program that could distribute $600 million in leftover program money, giving up to $34,000 in extra grant money to as many as 19,000 low- to moderate-income homeowners, Rainwater said.
"States eager to power up electric car-battery industry," - USA TODAY
DETROIT — The U.S. government has made it clear that developing a domestic auto-battery industry — for advanced batteries to power next-generation electric cars — is a priority. That has states scrambling to be sure they get a piece of the action.
This week, business leaders, politicians and entrepreneurs will gather in Detroit at a conference called "The Business of Plugging In" to discuss the future of plug-in electrics and plan how to attract and develop businesses involved in plug-in vehicle development.
"Public option gains support," - Washington Post
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that support for a government-run health-care plan to compete with private insurers has rebounded from its summertime lows and wins clear majority support from the public.
Americans remain sharply divided about the overall packages moving closer to votes in Congress and President Obama's leadership on the issue, reflecting the partisan battle that has raged for months over the administration's top legislative priority. But sizable majorities back two key and controversial provisions: both the so-called public option and a new mandate that would require all Americans to carry health insurance.

"Grass Roots Put New Orleans Back on Its Feet," - The Wall Street Journal
With Federal Aid Finally Flowing to Hurricane-Ravaged City, a Flurry of Rebuilding Helps Shield It from U.S. Downturn
NEW ORLEANS — This once-ravaged city is finally mending from Hurricane Katrina after years of administrative delays and political disputes that choked the flow of millions of dollars in federal aid.
Money now flowing through the city is beginning to deliver the most visibly widespread improvements since Katrina struck four years ago today. Scores of public works projects are under way. The last police precinct using a FEMA trailer as temporary headquarters moved into real offices earlier this year. More than half the public schools in New Orleans have been turned into higher-performing charter schools. Returning residents have pushed the population to 76% of its prestorm total of about 455,000.
"Yes, We Can Afford Health-Care Reform," - Washington Post
"Moderate" opponents of health-care reform like to say that we cannot afford it, particularly in the midst of a recession that has widened the deficit with both reduced tax revenue and the fiscal stimulus package. This was the argument advanced by Sen. Joe Lieberman on TV a week ago and repeated by Michael Gerson in this newspaper: "Obama's massive spending, intended to stabilize the economy, also drained the Treasury, making it more difficult to propose major new expenditures."
"Report maps out solutions to child obesity," - USA TODAY
To make it easier for children to eat healthfully and move more, local governments in towns and cities across the country need to help create a better environment, a new report says.
Children and their families should have access to grocery stores that offer plenty of healthful food such as fruits and vegetables, and schools shouldn't be surrounded by fast-food restaurants. Children should be able to ride their bikes or walk safely to school, and they should have safe places to play afterward, says the report out today from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and National Research Council.
Experts See "Uneven" Housing Recovery in Gulf Coast
NEW ORLEANS — Nearly four years after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, housing for the Gulf Coast's most vulnerable residents remains scarce and continues to mar other significant progress made in the region so far, experts told a Congressional field hearing yesterday and today.
While community groups and local leaders have made enormous strides in rebuilding and reclaiming many neighborhoods throughout the Gulf Coast, federal and state aid programs — most notably the Road Home program — have failed to live up to their promise.
"The progress of housing recovery at the community level has been very uneven and has led to racial and social inequities," Dominique Duval-Diop, senior associate in the PolicyLink office in New Orleans, said at Thursday's hearing. "We may have missed the opportunity to create sustainable and resilient communities — communities that are able to initiate and invest in their own recovery and redevelopment."
The Congressional field hearings are being conducted by Rep. Maxine Waters, chairwoman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity. The hearings will continue place today at Lawless Memorial Chapel, Dillard University, 2601 Gentilly Boulevard, New Orleans.
Other experts who testified included:
- Davida Finger of Loyola Law Clinic
- Allison Plyer of the Greater New Orleans Community Data Center
- Laura Tuggle of Southeast Louisiana Legal Aid
- James Perry of Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center
- Cynthia Wiggins, a public housing resident
- Angela Patterson of Unity of Greater New Orleans
- Anita Sinha of the Advancement Project
The experts look at a wide range of issues, including:
- The difficulty homeowners faced in navigating the Road Home program
- Significant New Orleans rent increases since 2005
- Ongoing difficulty for elderly, disabled, and low-income households who formerly lived in HUD-assisted homes that have still not been replaced
- Fair housing violations that are prevalent post-Katrina.
- The growth in the homeless population from 6000 to 12,000 since Katrina.
In 2007 and 2008, PolicyLink undertook major studies of the three major housing rebuilding programs: the Road Home homeowners program; the Multifamily Rental Program (funded through Low Income Housing Tax Credits and Disaster CDBG funds); and the Small Rental Repair Program. Significant challenges remain in each of those programs.
In particular, the Road Home grant formula has had a more negative effect on those whose damage estimates were higher than their home value. Those whose damages were greater than their pre-storm home value - 47.3% of all applicants rebuilding in place - fell on average $69,000 short of the money they need to rebuild.
This was a particular problem in low-income, predominantly black neighborhoods in New Orleans. More than 60 percent of households in New Orleans East and the Lower 9th Ward have gaps over $40,000, compared to 49 percent citywide and 33 percent statewide. The average rebuilding cost gap for those communities were $65,000 and $68,000, respectively — a mammoth sum for low-income residents struggling to come home.
But insufficient government programs are far from residents' only concerns, Duval-Diop says.
"Many recipients face insufficient rebuilding grants, contractor fraud, a high-cost environment, inability to access additional credit, and home-title succession challenges that delay or deny funding for the home repair.," she said. "Our analysis found that the
majority of homeowners choosing to rebuild in place did not have sufficient resources to fully recover their homes."

The mayor — encouraged that New Orleans has thrown off its post-Katrina malaise to become the U.S.'s fastest-growing big city by percentage — wants the U.S. Census Bureau to grant an exception for its former residents, currently living elsewhere, who want to rebuild homes in New Orleans.

The administration also will make available $50 million in rental vouchers to income-eligible trailer occupants who move to targeted housing projects, and take over from Louisiana the job of helping residents find permanent homes, said a senior White House official, speaking on the condition of anonymity before the formal announcement.

(more…)"The Wire" Heads to New Orleans
The folks who brought you "The Wire"– everyone's-favorite-show-of-all-time-anywhere-ever-no-really-you-have-to-watch-it-like-now — are moving their act down to New Orleans.
HBO just greenlit "Treme," a series from producers David Simon and Eric Overmeyer and starring Wire alum/New Orleans native Wendell Pierce. The show, which will start taping in the fall and air next spring, will:
[C]enter on New Orleans residents — including musicians and a restauranteur –living in the city's Treme district. Show follows the characters as they look to reclaim their lives as the city continues to rebuild.
"It will be uplifting at points, and may make viewers a little angry at points," Simon said. "And at another point it will make viewers a little depressed."
Simon said he and Overmyer, who lives in New Orleans, had been in love with the city long before the storm — but post-Katrina, knew there was a story to be told.
But, Simon warns, this won't be "The Bayou Wire"and will have a broader, less overtly politically perspective:
Simon noted that there's even perhaps the story of New Orleans can be used as a metaphor for the country's current economic woes.
"Look at what happened down there after Katrina," he said. "A lot of things in which New Orleans depended on and trusted turned out to be wholly undependable and untrustworthy. The governing institutions were supposed to monitor things of actual construct like the levees and the pumping stations. That could be an allegory for what we Americans presumed about our financial institutions, and the governing bodies that were supposed to monitor them.
"New Orleans found itself on its ass some years ago, and the rest of the country stared at it as it it was a unique case," Simon said. "In some sense, Katrina is an outwire of what the rest of the country was going to experience."

FLINT, Mich. — Dozens of proposals have been floated over the years to slow this city's endless decline. Now another idea is gaining support: speed it up.

Marian Wright Edelman, founder of the Washington D.C.-based nonprofit Children's Defense Fund, said it's one of her group's goals to end child poverty in this country in "five or six years" and work to dismantle the so-called "cradle-to-prison pipeline" plaguing minorities and the poor.

"Bake Sales Fall Victim to Push for Healthier Foods," - Washington Post
Tommy Cornelius and the other members of the Piedmont High School boys water polo team never expected to find themselves running through school in their Speedos to promote a bake sale across the street. But times have been tough since the school banned homemade brownies and cupcakes.
The old-fashioned school bake sale, once as American as apple pie, is fast becoming obsolete in California, a result of strict new state nutrition standards for public schools that regulate the types of food that can be sold to students. The guidelines were passed by lawmakers in 2005 and took effect in July 2007. They require that snacks sold during the school day contain no more than 35 percent sugar by weight and derive no more than 35 percent of their calories from fat and no more than 10 percent of their calories from saturated fat.

Harvey Shaw's plans to move out of his parents' house, finally, have been derailed. With a high school degree obtained belatedly at 21, he had held a full-time job for 26 months as a detailer at a car dealership here, sprucing up new and used cars.
But in early October, Mr. Shaw, now 24, recalled, "I came back from vacation, and they said they were cutting back and replacing me with part-time workers."

Great Multipurpose Tablet,
This review is from: Apple iPad with Retina Display MD511LL/A (32GB, Wi-Fi, Black) 4th Generation (Personal Computers)
This product is amazing. It's not perfect, but considering that I'll have it for at least 2 years and I've used it every day so far, I certainly get my $.40 worth each day! It's very sturdy and I know it will hold up well, as my other Apple products have. I have friends who still use their original iPads (they work just fine, but many applications don't run on the operating system). I have a Kindle (an old version), and still love my Kindle as a reader. It's the only way I can read in the sunlight and it's SO lightweight. Eventually, I'll upgrade to a new Kindle reader, but I see them as having different purposes. The iPad is a mini computer, and the non-Fire Kindle is the equivalent of carrying around a book (or a thousand).
iPad 3 vs. iPad 4: I purchased the version right before this one--the iPad 3--several weeks before the announcement of this version. I called Apple a few days after the announcement, and they immediately set me up with a way to return the iPad 3 to repurchase the newest version. I realize that some people were angry about the announcement, but there has to be a cut off date for new technology at some point, and I thought that Apple treated me as well or better than I've seen from any other technology company. Yes, both the iPad 3 and 4 have very crisp, clear screens (which are stunning for video quality compared to my Macbook from 2010). However, the increased speed of the iPad 4 makes the video quality seem clearer. It's difficult to explain, but movies definitely got a bit crisper. Also, the increased speed really is incredible when opening apps and running a lot at once. I'd say the time it takes to open large applications is cut in half. But, I was so impressed with the iPad 3 when it came, and if I hadn't been able to exchange it, I would still give it a 5-star review--it's definitely not "obsolete." Finally, what makes the iPad special? First, no one *needs* one. But now that I have one, it's sure useful and I wouldn't want to go back to life before I got one. Here's why: * I sit at school or at work in front of a computer all day. I am always typing or reading on the screen. Coming come to something different is nice--it's refreshing. I'd rather watch a tv show on a 10" iPad than any other non-TV device (laptop, tablet, phone, etc.). The picture quality is great for movies and browsing, and the 10" screen is big enough to share if a friend and I want to watch something together. A 7" isn't enough for that or big enough to basically serve as a TV replacement. * It is functional enough to REPLACE a computer. Don't get me wrong, I still need my computer for editing files, serious typing, spreadsheets, etc. But right after I got the ipad, I went on a 10-day trip. No computer, no problem. I could take care of all of my emails from work and school, keep in touch, keep up with my finances, etc. It was anything I'd need for a non-work trip. Web browsing works just as well as a laptop for 95% of sites, and there's an app for many that even improves the browsing experience. * Given the first two points, I think owning an iPad will greatly extend the life of my laptop. I probably use my laptop 50% less now that I have an iPad, so I'll probably get an extra year of life out of my laptop as a result. That, in itself, makes the purchase of an iPad worth it in my eyes. * Integration with other Mac devices. This doesn't apply to everyone, but if you're a Mac user for a laptop or an iPhone, I'd highly recommend the iPad over alternatives, even if it's more expensive. If you're hooked on Windows products or Google products, I'd consider those devices. * The number of apps. I know that apps are everywhere these days, but, it seems at least, that there are still the most applications for Apple devices. The difference is especially noticeable in non-retail applications. For example, I've tried dozens of "to do" and organizer apps, and my favorite, Errands, is only available on iOS. Another of my favorites, Fotopedia Heritage (a gorgeous display of UNESCO World Heritage photography), is only on iPad. So far (and this may change), a lot of companies also choose to release new iOS versions of applications first. This edge will decrease with time, but for now it is still a significant "plus" for an iPad over other tablets for those who are into applications. Also, I can run most iPhone apps on the iPad, and there's an easy way to tell the difference (e.g. you can search just for iPad apps or for iPhone/iPad/iPod apps). Not sure if you can do this on other tablets, but I've found it useful (e.g. my bank only has an iphone app, but I can still run it on my iPad). Finally, though, just to be clear, this is NOT just a device for running applications. I could do almost everything I choose to do through applications just by using a web browser. * The number of accessories. Many won't care about this, but some will. If you like to have cases to protect your electronics, the sheer number for iPad is a draw (not a huge one, but the sprinkles on the cake). Everything's out there, from cheap plastic covers to the smart cover (the one that folds as a stand) to professional-looking leather folios to designer soft zip cases. It can be a fashion statement, but it's more likely just a way to make sure to keep your device safe. * Finally, and this may be petty, but it's the most professional device. In the field I know (law), partners at law firms and federal judges use iPads, not other devices to read briefs, send emails, etc. I've never seen anyone doing work on a Kindle device and I've never even seen another tablet in a professional setting. Part of this may be that it's a well-established product, and part may be that the 10-inch screen is nice for reading, even if it's bulkier. Being able to feel comfortable that you can carry your device in a professional environment may matter for some, and the iPad definitely delivers above other devices there.

5.0 out of 5 stars
By Bigz "BIGz" (Brooklyn,ny) - See all my reviews The 8in Apple iPad Mini was eagerly anticipated, but the new 10in iPad 4 (or iPad with Retina Display as Apple insists on calling it) is a surprise as it arrives only nine months after its predecessor the iPad 3.
Externally, the iPad 4 looks and feels identical to its predecessor. Although it is sturdy and slim, it's still the same weight at around 650g. I had hoped for a reduction in weight since the iPad 3 was around 50g heavier than the iPad 2. The battery lasted 12 hours when I was playing videos matching the time achieved by the smaller iPad Mini. The 10in screen still has the same 2,048x1,536 pixel resolution. It's very sharp and bright with exceptional image quality, especially when compared to lower resolution tablets like the iPad Mini. Only the upcoming Samsung Nexus 10 Android tablet will have a display potentially capable of matching it. All the changes are on the inside rather than the outside. The A6X dual-core processor is twice as fast as the iPad 3's A5X chip, but this will make little real difference until apps are designed to take advantage of it. Apple will doubtless release features in future versions of iOS that will only run on the A6X, but that has yet to happen.The iPad 4 is thankfully compatible with the recently launched EE LTE network. HD Facetime I was pleased with Video chatting and that the front-facing camera now records in 720p resolution which gave better, more accurate-looking video although the speed of my broadband connection did also affect image quality. The iPad 4 may be a modest upgrade over its predecessor but it's still the best 10in tablet so far, which says just as much about the competition as it does about Apple's tablet. It's still relatively heavy though, so lighter tablets such as the iPad Mini will be a better buy for some. Here are the Tech Specs for those who don't know---- Hardware: Height 9.5 inches Width 7.31 inches Thickness 0.37 inches Weight 1.44 pounds Color Silver / Black, Silver / White Speakers Mono Display: Screen size (diagonal) 9.7 inches Technology IPS LCD Resolution (X) 2048 px Resolution (Y) 1536 px PPI 264 Touchscreen type Capacitive Multitouch Yes Software: Operating system iOS Launch OS version 6 Media streaming AirPlay Processor: CPU brand Apple CPU model A6X Clock speed 1.4 GHz Cores 2 Memory: RAM size 1 GB Storage: Internal size 64 GB, 32 GB, 16 GB Connectivity: Wi-Fi Yes Wi-Fi support 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11a 802.11n frequencies 5GHz, 2.4GHz Bluetooth Yes Bluetooth version 4.0 Front Camera: Effective pixels 1.2 megapixels Video resolution 720p Video framerate 30 Rear Camera: Effective pixels 5 megapixels Focus type Autofocus Video resolution 1080p Video framerate 30 Ports: Video out Yes Headphone 3.5mm Data connections Lightning Sensors: Sensors Ambient Light, Gyroscope, Accelerometer Battery: Capacity 42.5 Wh Removable No Quoted use time 10 hr This is the best tablet out there so far!!

Nice But Not An Overwhelming Nice,
This review is from: Apple iPad with Retina Display MD514LL/A (32GB, Wi-Fi, White) 4th Generation (Personal Computers)
Honestly, I had been trying to figure out what an iPad4 was. Well, this is essentially an iPad3 with a few improvements that I really like.
I already own an iPad2, but decided to upgrade to this because I needed to bump up to 32GB. That, and a deal on this iPad which was incredible convinced me to upgrade now. I still use my MacAir and my Dell laptops, but the iPad is my daily go to device and where I go an iPad is going. Great battery life and minimal problems make this a much loved convenience. The improvements are not overwhelming, but the truth is I already love the iPad and this makes it better. I've always thought the screen image was very good, but this is an obvious step up. It is clear, bright and vivid with the improved retina display. The iSight camera at five megapixels is very good, but I wasn't complaining about the pictures I took with my old iPad. Still, it is a nice improvement and it takes a much clearer picture than my old iPhone. The new processor is really fast. I didn't think it was slow before but when I have a lot of apps running I've noticed that it is faster. You'll have to trust me on this one. I tend to run a lot of stuff at the same time and the old iPad was slower, but not to the extent that I found it irritating or irksome. I like the new lightening connector which is an 8 wire adapter. Just me, but it seems less clunky. However, if you have a lot of Apple products that use the old 30 wire adapter, this may be a pain. I'm going to have to get another car charger/wall charger and I'll have to take two chargers to cover both adapter types when I hit the road. Another thing I like is my personal secretary Siri. Depress the screen button and Siri is ready to roll. It is voice interpretive intuitive software that retrieves information. While this will probably seem like rudimentary artificial intelligence in a few years, I get a total kick out of it. It's nice to get directions or find out where the Sox are playing or get the earliest showing of a movie. Love it, though I am still playing around with it and probably haven't scratched the surface yet. I don't know if there is any truth to this, but I've heard that the Suri software may be available for the earlier versions of iPad at a later date. As for the size and weight, minimally larger but I'd be hard pressed to say this except I compared the specs. Here is the thing. If you don't care about a better camera or a better display or a faster processing speed or having your own cyber slave to talk to, go with the less expensive iPad2. I like Apple products. I have been using the iPad for two years now and it is fairly trouble free. The few problems I've had were the result of software upgrades. I am absolutely no techie type, but the problems have all been fixed with minimal grief. This product is getting 4* because the differences between this iPad and its predecessor are slight when you look at the overall big picture. This takes a great product and kicks it up a notch or two, but it hasn't reinvented or reimagined the iPad. Update: I am liking this better each day. The updated processor is nice but this also seems a bit more intuitive if it can possibly be so. The imaging is incredible and the pictures this takes are amazing in their clarity and level of detail. I found that my pricey Joby stand case, which was supposedly made to fit with my iPad 2 works with the new iPad despite very slightly different dimensions. I'm delighted that it doesn't have to be tossed. The only problem I've encountered thus far was an upgrade to the software. This is Apple's problem since it screwed up our other iPads with the same problems, most notably with mail. There is a fix that I found on an Apple forum. Love this, but it is still a 4* considering everything.

You need one too!,
By Lionsfan "LionsFanForLife" (Kentwood, MI) - See all my reviews I own a MacBook and our household owns 3 Ipod Touch devices, and I made the mistake last year in buying the Nook Tablet. It was ok, but I really didn't use it much because it was a pain to even access web pages, just clumsy overall. So I plunked down the cash this year and took to leap. I bought this IPad on Black Friday from the Apple store and it is getting heavy use every day at my house. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros- Awesome Retina display- this is pretty nice. I wouldn't say it was a selling point, but is nice to have. Nice chip- this has the newest chip in it, and you can't get that with the mini. Apps- I love the apps. My Nook was a joke compared to the immense amount of choices I have now. Great for kids- My 4 year old loves it...and I mean LOVES it. There are so many good free apps for her to learn with. Voice dictation- This is it folks. This was where I dropped the extra $130 or whatever. You can build documents just speaking. Lightweight- it feels really good as all Apple products do. Charge time- I run this thing all day long and just plug it in at night. Capabilities- I feel like I am just scratching the surface, seriously. Cons- Handling- You need a case, absolutely. I bought an Otterbox Defender. This thing almost hit the floor 2 times when I got it. It is just slippery and is pretty solid so one wrong shift of weight and it might fly out of your hands. I have no other complaints.

Apple iPad 4,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I just purchased this device, i previously owned the iPad 2 and the iPad 3rd gen. Below are some of the improvements with this latest model and some of my impressions.
Pros - Dual-core A6X with quad-core graphics means games and apps runs twice as fast compared to the 3rd Gen iPad. No slowdowns on apps that i previously had problems with. - Wifi speeds are also twice as fast. The improvements are noticeable, downloading on the Appstore, watching Youtube and just browsing are quick. - It runs cooler. Using this device for several hours won't burn you, Battery life is also the same to the previous model. - Front facing camera is 720p, back is 5 megapixel Cons - Lightning connection port means some accessories won't work without an adapter. - The camera quality wasn't that impressive. Overall the upgraded version has many improvements, if your undecided about making the purchase all you have to do is ask yourself, are you happy with the performance of your current device? if your not a gamer and your not using apps that require a lot of processing power then you don't really need it but if your experiencing slow downs, this is the device you need.

Warning Defective iPad!,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Apple iPad with Retina Display MD510LL/A (16GB, Wi-Fi, Black) 4th Generation (Personal Computers)
I love apple products, just like most of the world does!
I sold my ipad3 to get the new ipad4 due to the HD front facing camera and the blazing fast A6 chip compared to the A5 I had in my ipad3. Long story short, Biggest mistake ever! The ipad4th generation has an issue with Wi-Fi, if you don't believe me or if you are skeptical just Google it and it will appear right away. It is not my intention at all to harm apple, in fact I plan to return my ipad4 and buy an ipad3 because it was perfect. Also, Just to let you know, after I received my ipad4 I sold it and bought another one just to discover it had the same problem with Wi-Fi. Apple made a huge mistake with their new generation ipad4, and they should either fix the problem or stop selling the unit. The new ipad will disconnect every 5-15 mins constantly! It's terrible, it will make you angry, frustrated ,and this is far from what you would call quality. It's your money and your call, just don't say I didn't warn you. The only reason I am writing this review is to prevent people from having the same terrible experience I had.

Ipad is hanging and not acceptable Return policy,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Apple iPad with Retina Display MD514LL/A (32GB, Wi-Fi, White) 4th Generation (Personal Computers)
Hi Guys
I had a very bad experience with purchasing an Apple iPad with Retina Display MD514LL/A (32GB, Wi-Fi, White) 4th Gen. from Amazon (Seller -->Word Wide distributor). I had complained on second day of the item received date .I used device for few hours and it started hanging and i need to restart device 2-3 times.So i decided to return this defective product however i got below response from seller and denied to accept return of device which is disgusting and not acceptable :( "this seller's returns policy states: Drones, Computers, Video Cameras, Camera, MP3 Players, iPods, iPads, Tablets, Ear phones, Headphones, PC Hardware, Navigation, Point Cards, Software & Projectors- We will not accept any returns if the unit has been open and the factory seal is broken." How any one can check the product whether it is working fine or not before open the item from box.I would suggest others to BUY electronic items from bestbuy or any other well known electronic shops so that buyer's money is safe and they do not need to regret on the purchase that i had.

Be wary of third-party Apple purchases,
By Michael N. (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Apple iPad with Retina Display MD511LL/A (32GB, Wi-Fi, Black) 4th Generation (Personal Computers)
Apple allows you to purchase Applecare within 30 days if you purchase an Apple product from another vendor. Two issues came up when I purchased Applecare for an iPad I bought on Amazon, one the Applecare starts the date the third-party vendor bought the item from Apple, not the date you buy it from Amazon. Secondly, you will not be able to purchase Applecare Plus, which is an enhanced version of Applecare (allowing for replacement of broken devices due to your fault, not just manufacturer defects).

Lemon, not Apple: wi-fi connectivity issues,
By Bea Haven (MS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apple iPad with Retina Display MD515LL/A (64GB, Wi-Fi, White) 4th Generation (Personal Computers)
I thought I would love the iPad, but I don't even like it at this point. I love my sister's iPad, my son's and others', but mine won't stay connected to wifi. I tried to troubleshoot using Apple's website, called AppleCare several times, and ultimately sent the iPad to AppleCare for repair. But my iPad still doesn't work. In the same locations that my iPad is nonfunctional, I can use my sister's iPad (she has the iPad w/retina display, too, and I set hers up the same as mine) with no wifi connectivity issues. But every time I try to access the internet, I get the message that my iPad is not connected to the internet. I go to settings, select the wifi connection, and if it connects at all, it's only briefly. This happens not just with my home router, but at my place of employment and other wifi access public places (where other iPad users report no difficulty and I have no problems with my laptop, etc.). The AppleCare folks sent my iPad back in 2 days (fast service but the porblem is not solved) with a form letter that states my iPad meets Apple's specifications for acceptable performance. Unfortunately, it doesn't meet my standards. I have a $700+ lemon. I know the Apple iPad is amazing when it works (and it usually works, according to the vast majority of reviews). If Apple replaces this lemon with an iPad that actually works, I will update my review accordingly.
Update-1/13/13: I spoke with AppleCare again and was instructed to send the iPad back for maintenance--this will be the second time. Why should I expect it to work this time? What a a waste of time! Another week+ without a functional iPad. If the problem persists after this encounter with AppleCare, I was told the iPad would be replaced. I am becoming more disillusioned with Apple. I have had experience with other iPads and know they can be wonderful when they work, so I would not advise against buying this iPad. But purchase with the knowledge that there is a significant problem with wifi connectivity attested to by many consumers on Apple's own discussion forum. I'm thoroughly frustrated with this lemon and my experience with AppleCare! Update-1/28/13: After a few returns for maintenance without improvement in performance, Apple replaced my new iPad with a refurbished one. It connects to the internet, but is slow. I've updated my router, called my wifi provider, and it's still the same. If I could, I would return this one. One of the big selling points of the iPad is the ease of use and mine has been anything but easy to use with this wifi connectivity issue. Another big selling point is the fast connection speed--not so for me. I would have been far happier with a netbook and completely regret this purchase.

This is an excellent device, but Apple did a disservice to owners of previous version,
This review is from: Apple iPad with Retina Display MD514LL/A (32GB, Wi-Fi, White) 4th Generation (Personal Computers)
I've tested this device extensively in the local Apple store, and there's no doubt in my mind that it's the best version of iPad to date. For this it deserves 5 stars. As an owner of the "New iPad, aka iPad 3rd generation," however, I feel that Apple did an injustice to those who purchased it.
The previous version was released to much fan fair in March 2012. This version was released a mere 7 months later, in October 2012. When I called Apple to find out why they would release a newer version so soon after the previous one, the representative who I spoke with informed me that there were problems with the 3rd generation, and as a result, Apple removed it from the market and introduced the generation 4. I have no problem with the fact that technology constantly changes, and that computers are outdated in short order. What I have a problem with, is the fact that Apple prematurely introduced the 3rd generation of the iPad knowing full well that it wasn't ready to be sold. While Tim Cook was onstage last March promoting the 3rd generation of the iPad as the most revolutionary product ever offered by Apple, he knew that it was just a stop-gap measure until the components were ready for the model that you see here. I love Apple products and have always thought that the company treated their customers in the highest regard. As a result of the above, I now feel differently about the company, not the products. As of this writing, Apple sells the iPad 2 and the iPad with Retina Display, aka the 4th generation. They do not sell the 3rd generation at all, as the one listed here is what the 3rd generation was supposed to be. I feel that this is very deceptive on the part of Apple and believe that owners of the now obsolete 3rd generation model should be given the option, for a fee to upgrade to the model presented here. I spoke with customer relations at Apple regarding the above and was told that this would not be an option. They readily agreed that there were "issues," with the 3rd generation model, but refused to tell me what they are. In this regard, they are certainly not being very transparent to their loyal customers. So, the bottom line is that the iPad with Retina Display is a marvelous device, however owners of the previous generation got screwed. I'm giving the model presented here 5 stars, because that's what it deserves. On the other hand, if I had the option to grant stars to the way Apple treated owners of the previous version, I would give them just 1 star. |

I use Ubuntu mainly for programming but I've quickly become a fan. I started late, joining the club with Karmic and generally love the direction Ubuntu is going. I was burned by the many changes in Natty (so painfully inconsistant, a huge break from convention - "why did they take toolbars away?" and it kills the Pinax 0.73 code base I was developing on) so have been content to keep my lot with Maverick for now. Watching Oneiric and subsequent releases closely though.
