Cuban thinks when his team will be able to combine guards Monta Ellis and Jose Calderon with Harris, that's a relay team every NBA team will envy. "When Devin comes back we're going to have the fastest backcourt in the league between him and monta,'' Cuban said after Friday's practice at American Airlines Center. "And then just the three of them rotating in there in particular, it'll be fun. "I think we'll be able to push the ball and defend and play well.'' Fort Worth Star-Telegram
However, it isn't hard to find the silver lining from the Dallas Mavericks' 102-94 defeat by the Orlando Magic on Monday night. We got a glimpse of just how good the two-man game with Dirk Nowitzki and new sidekick Monta Ellis can be during the second quarter. That duo ran the high pick-and-pop over and over during that frame, filling it up for a combined 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting. "That's probably going to be our bread and butter all season long," said Nowitzki, who finished with 24 points on 9-of-14 shooting, although he was more focused on his failure to get a single rebound in 25 minutes. ESPN.com
"I'm going to get criticized for what I do anyway so the only thing I can do is laugh it off," said Ellis, who averaged 19.1 ppg on 41.6 percent shooting last season with Milwaukee. "There's a lot of guys that take a lot of bad shots in this league, a lot of bad shots. Nobody wants to talk about them, but everybody wants to talk about the shots that Monta takes. The only thing that I'm going to do is take the punches and prove everybody wrong." NBA.com
Monta Ellis on coming from a poor upbringing: "Basketball is my life. My oldest brother put it in me when I was young. I was coming by him, but I had a gift from an early age, and I knew that I had to use that to get where I wanted to go to make a better life for me and my family. "Everybody knew about me, but when they come with the gangs and the drugs… I come from a familiar background to that, so it was either that or nothing. So me, if I wasn't going to be a basketball player, I probably would have turned to the streets. Every time I go back home, my grandma always tells me she don't know how I made it out of there, but at the same time, it was a blessing. It was meant to happen, and I say that because my oldest brother should have been the first one to make it to the NBA, and he chose the other route than the one I chose, but I learned from his mistakes." Dallas Morning News
Monta Ellis on facing racism growing up in Mississippi: "I remember when I was in high school, we went to eat at, I think it was Cracker Barrel, and they wanted to serve our food in the back door." Dallas Morning News
Jeff Caplan: Monta Ellis shrugs off question about his alleged poor shot selection: "There's a lot of guys that take a lot of bad shots in this league." Monta says he'll get criticized no matter what he does: "I'm gonna play Monta-ball." Twitter
Monta Ellis on his decision to come to Dallas: "I chose this place because of all the options that I had, I felt like this was the best chance and the best opportunity for me to be on that elite state. They're a great organization. They got a hall of fame player in Dirk, so without the defense focused mostly on me, I can expand my game a little bit more. And the city is great. It's great for my family, my kids love it in school, so I just felt like it was the right fit for me, and I'm happy to be a Maverick." Dallas Morning News
Former Mavericks and currrent TV analyst guard Derek Harper recently joined DallasBasketball.com. Here are some highlights. On the Mavericks' offseason: "I think anytime you're going to try to be successful throughout an NBA season, you need good backcourt play. Adding what the Mavericks have added in the backcourt gives them the chance to surprise some people. The West is going to be extremely tough this year, even better than last year, I think. But when you look at Monta Ellis, a guy who can create a lot of things on the offensive end not only for himself but for other, I think he'll be a perfect Robin for Batman, who clearly is Dirk Nowitzki. Devin Harris brings experience. (Jose) Calderon is a solid point guard, a guy that I've always liked simply because he doesn't turn the basketball over, and we had a lot of problems last year. We lost a lot of games last year down the stretch because of turnovers and just not being able to make decisions down the stretch." Dallas Morning News
Monta Ellis: "My last 4-5 years in the NBA were miserable...this is just a breath of fresh air. I wanna be willing and open in Dallas" - Twitter
Monta Ellis is co-represented by Happy Walters of Relativity Sports and longtime agent Jeff Fried, industry sources told RealGM. Ellis had an apparent split with Fried out of frustration in mid-July, before signing a three-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks. Nevertheless, Fried told RealGM that reports of him separating with Ellis are "incorrect." "Monta and I are together for a lifetime," Fried said. "He is family to me." RealGM
Earl K. Sneed: According to @MCuban, Dirk's reaction to the possibility that the Mavs could get Monta Ellis: "Can we get him? Can we get him?" Twitter @EarlKSneed
The combination of playing with Dirk Nowitzki and having the benefit of coach Rick Carlisle's creativity offensively could be exactly what Ellis needs to become a more efficient player — which is pretty much the only thing standing between him and all-star status. "We think that in our system, Monta can really bloom," owner Mark Cuban said. "He has superstar potential. It will be fun to see how much his game grows under Rick and playing next to Dirk and a pass-first point guard like Jose [Calderon]." Dallas Morning News
Sources told ESPN.com that Harris is now likely to have surgery on toe by month's end to put him in line for a return to the court by the start of the NBA's regular season. Upon learning of Harris' need for surgery, Dallas reached terms Friday on a three-year deal worth at least $25 million to sign Milwaukee Bucks free agent Monta Ellis. The money Dallas is no longer spending on Harris, sources said, has been earmarked for the signing of a big man, with Milwaukee free agent Samuel Dalembert ranking as the Mavericks' clear-cut preference after team officials spent all day Thursday meeting with him in Dallas. ESPN.com
Marc Stein: Mavs' deal w/Monta Ellis and Devin Harris audible means Dallas still has wiggle room to sign big man. Samuel Dalembert is their top target Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: All indications point to Mavs signing Monta Ellis to three-year deal worth $25+ mil with their remaining cap space. NOT via S-and-T w/Bucks Twitter @ESPNSteinLine

Plans for a New Power Plant in Levy County
Published October 19th, 2012
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE - Gainesville environmental groups met to talk about the possible effects of a new power plant that may be built in Levy County.
The old power plant is non-operational. The new plant would be built about five miles away.
On Oct. 31, groups are planning to voice their concerns.
A representative from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission says a study has been conducted showing no environmental concerns that would prevent the plant from receiving its license.

Thinking about 3 nights in Perpignan - no car- is there enough to see and do?
I have the chance of very cheap flights from UK to Perpignan during February -probably Thursday thru Sunday.
I don't want to hire a car and so I wondered if there would be enough to see and do in the town alone at this time of year.
I have only just started to look at the VT pages - some of the famous sights appear to be away from town so maybe I could use buses or trains?
Does anyone have any experiences of visiting - maybe during the winter months?
This is not intended to be an intense sight-seeing trip like Prague, Paris, Rome etc. but I don't just want to hang-out in bars or cafes the whole time! Oh!, and I don't need "night-life" - just nice meals and a drink to relax.
Thank you! -

Where to find Thuja plicata Atrovirens in Chicago area?
I am planting a hedgerow of approx. 300 feet in September and I was going to use thuja plicata because my site is part shady and moist. I hear that Atrovirens grows more narrow than the species and the foliage looks less course than thuja GG. Does anyone have an experience with Atrovirens? Is is sensitive to winter burn? Can I leave it unprunned?
Would anyone know where I can purchase locally a larger quantity of 50 or more of 2-3 footers (or larger)? I have been searching for the last 2 months and can't find a local source.
Thank you in advance for any advice!!!
i am sure resin is correct ...
but if you have a project as such ... you have to visit high end nurseries ... talk with the manager ... and have them order in plants for the next planting season ..
many such nurseries have orders delivered in fall ... you might be to late to make such truck delivery by sept ...
if you just have to have a certain plant.. you have to become a bit more willing to pay extra ...
i am due east of you.. just south of ann arbor...
i have never seen this plant offered .... and i consider our zones approximately the same ...
i would not recommend such ...
finally ... on a 300 foot run .. NEVER .. EVER... plant a monoculture ...
you might want to contact your country soil conservation or extension office and ask about planting wind breaks.. which is what a 300 feet line of plants is.. they ought to have plenty of literature on such .. in MI.. they even offer fall plant sales ...
you could also check out the link ... as an example of a tree producer who offers plants.. for a variety of plants.. for various uses ...
Here is a link that might be useful: link
Thuja plicata 'Atrovirens' is an old one named for being greener than usual but otherwise typical - the more narrow kind is probably another cultivar. In my area it has become clear that the names of the hedging type T. plicata cultivars are quite mixed up. And in general with cultivar names dating back to the 19th century it is not unexpected that multiple different introductions under the same name have been made over the years, with perhaps nobody now offering the same plant that was first presented way back when.
T. plicata and T. occidentalis are the western and eastern adapted versions of the same basic tree, as mentioned T. plicata is not eastern suitable. When I see photos of what are supposed to be comparatively older T. plicata back there they don't necessarily look the part, as though pure T. plicata isn't really what they are.
Not plicata, but GG-related: I've soured on any and all notions that this plant is suitable for the northern midwest. My GG's, growing lustily in Z4 for about 4 years, burned to toast in this past winter's cold and wind. Completely (In my opinion
) not worth bothering with anymore-as if they ever were!
Now I know OP is asking about a cultivar of T. plicata, but given that plant's partial parentage of GG, I'd be quite leery, especially when there are suitable cultivars of T. occidentalis available. That one that Dax always touts-Hetz Wintergreen-might suit this purpose well, being both a tad narrower and possessing a nice winter color. I'd look into it.
Thank you all for your comments. I have a nursery selected already in Oregon which I planned to use to get Atrovirens in case local source is not available.. so thank you very much you may have just saved me thousands of $!!
Resin and wisconsitom - thank you for confirmation about the winter sensitivity - I am very greatful. I like Hetz but this T.occidentalis and I fear it will be devoured by deer I watch from my kitchen window :)).
Ken - thank you for your comments, I spent the winter debating how to avoid the monoculture, I have met with the certified arborist how advised me that only thuja plicata would work in that spot because of the water/shade and DEER problem that is a big issue in my area. I am north of Chicago, so borderline zone 6, by lake front and my yard borders swampy forest.
As a second choice I was thinking about thuja plicata Spring Grove or U.W (supposed to have a greater winter hardiness) and maybe mix in with canadian hemlock? (any particular cultivars would you recomend?).
Any thoughts on these choices?? Thanks again for all your inputs...
Pictures: attached here in my original post from last fall, many of you already avised me and pushed me in the right direction, now I am just refining my choices :)
No mono culture
But you do want to include green g
got atrovirens from H D couple years back,,,growing fine until
I have standing water back here ,,,Deer come and go as they please,,,pretty much shade,,,,,,5 GG,,,,neg.4 T.plicata
left atro. mid. GG right T. plicata zebrina
Hi Ron,
Thanks for the photo! Have you seen currently atros at any HD in Chicago area?
is this atro in the middle by the purple bush? this is very nice. I can't see the GG and zebrina, are those in the back? Yes, at times I have standing water too and this really worries me. Why do you think I should include GG? I hear they got burned badly this year, just for diversification? what do you think about the hemlock?
dorotamon: the purple you ask about is a dead 'Atrovirens' and the middle alive plant is a 'Green Giant' and then to the right of it another Thuja plicata cultivar also dead: 'Zebrina'.
I have 33 Green Giant and they don't get touched by deer nor do my 30 Hetz Wintergreen. You have to remember DEER may feast on anything and that all the hoopla of plicata or occidentalis or hybrids is exactly that, it's hoopla. You never know what those critters may choose to eat.
Certainly GG and HW are the quickest and meet your sun and soil requirements. All my GG's look great after last winter here, I'm 60 miles south of Chicago but on the other side of the state.
If you want to pick out your own trees with the best root-systems you will ever find you could drive to Delta, OH to visit Bad Creek Nursery where my friend grows Green Giant from Rootmaker cells. I've never seen roots anything like his. His trees are inexpensive, too, & is a Ma & Pop Nursery.

Hi doro. One oddity of working with plants which in nature can be found in very wet areas is that the very same plant species, grown somewwhere in a well-drained nursery field, will in fact have difficulty with the high water table. I have no solution to this except perhaps to start small, thereby possibly giving the plant(s) the opportunity to get acclimated to the conditions.
Your being in Z6 could well mean the difference between success and failure with T. plicata. My references to the troubles I've experienced with Green Giant were from my tree farm up in Z4, whereas I actually live in Z5. So there could be reason to think T. plicata might work where you are.
As to deer herbivory, that can be a real puzzle. My Z4 land is covered with native T. occidentalis. The numerous deer there never-and I do mean never-touch them. I can move little baby ones from the woods up into totally exposed locations in the field, and no issues whatsoever. Meanwhile, in my work, we are planting little pockets of small T. occidentalis, and we've found a very simple, inexpensive, and so far effective way to keep the deer out. We pound T-posts into the ground surrounding each bunch, and then simply string orange nylon twine, at roughly 1-foot intervals, around and around. It sounds too easy, and maybe time will tell us that it is, but so far, this cheap and unobtrusive method has worked 100%. This is here in the area I live in-Z5-where, unlike up at my land, the deer behave more typically, usually maruading this plant when they can. Plus, and I might be out on a limb here (ba-dum-bum), but I suspect that deer can and eventually will learn to eat T. plicata, depending on what else is available.
You have to remember DEER may feast on anything and that all the hoopla of plicata or occidentalis or hybrids is exactly that, it's hoopla. You never know what those critters may choose to eat.
Bingo! Your certified arborist that you talk to is full of it.
I have a few T.o...deer have never touched them and for a while they where some of the first plants in my yard.
Hetz Wintergreen is touted as the the most shade tolerant T.o by the way.
If you go T. p you might want to consider 'Green Splendor.
Supposedly just as fast as GG, more columnar and holds it color better in the winter.
Don't you have close to a 100 GGs as a monoculture planting? How are they doing?
I live in Chicago SW suburb zone 5B.
Nurseries I go to are Riches Fox Willow in Woodstock & Hidden Gardens near I55 & rt83
Also you could try online wholesale Stanley & Sons
I have grown a few varieties of Thuja Occidentalis.
Most have done well. Like the very narrow Degroot Spire or the broader, yellow new growth Yellow Ribbon. My site is partial shaded in low area that floods when it rains. However the plants were planted higher above any potential sitting water & standing water is gone in a day.
The photo shows (a not good) view of the Degroots Spires on the left, Yellow Ribbion in the middle and a another option on the right you might consider, a Pice Abies- Hillside UpRight a very dark green very narrow Norway Spruce.
None of these should require any pruning.

Dax, thank you for the clarification about plantkiller's picture, I wonder if the fact that atrovirens and zebrina didn't make it could it be because they are much younger plants? I have been reading that the winter burn impacted the younger plants more than the older. Additionally, in one nursery (Johnsons up north of me in WI) they claimed that several plicatas were planted next to each other and some cultivars (GG and excelsia) were leathaly burned and U.W not even impacted! I guess I am still clinging to the idea of planting those plicatas... I have a feeling they would work since my place is shady and wet, but also secluded and not exposed to winds and it feels warmer here... also thanks for the GG source in Delta, OH...I really like the HW and for sure getting them bare root for another area in the yard to plant in the fall..
Whatever you do in my opinion is wait until next spring to plant. Have your plants shipped while they are dormant and when the ground is workable. When I see the spring bulbs come up, I know it's a good time to begin planting.
Those two plicata's in plantkillers photo are quite large, actually. They were simply killed from cold weather. I do agree that larger root mass will up the chances of survival 10fold; no question.
I couldn't have any idea if you're the type of person willing to start off with 6-9" rooted, bareroot-cuttings, but I'll provide a link. My Hetz Wintergreen planted in spring '08 are now easily 8' tall from these starter plants. I ordered 100 for 44 dollars and they sent more than 120.
Good luck with those plicata. I know your mind is set.
Here is a link that might be useful: Rens Nursery
Thanks for the HW source... I was going to use them already. I have seen you recommend it in one of your earlier posts :) :). For the main hedgerow area by the chainlink fence I would prefer to get bigger plants, preferrably 4-5 footers, but on other sites I was going to do bareroot. If plicatas do ok, then I additionally have ~400 ft long road which is ours and I would like to use the same plants for that. But for this area I think I would also need bigger plants to avoid upsetting my very nice neighbors who lived here for 37 years and planted honeysuckle. This is even a bigger project because I would have to rip out existing messy overgrown hedge and plant evergreens... uhh. My issue right now is also finding workers to do all these jobs, with work and small kids this is getting pretty overwhelming. I have a couple more questions... would you know a good source for Degroots
Spire? either bareroot or larger plants? I spent the winter deciding and I feel I am back where I started... do you have an opinion why would hemlock not work for mixing with plicata?? I am taking very seriously Ken's advise to break up the monoculture... (although as you mentioned above, it seems that Ken planted just that, I must admit they are beautiful GG I have seen on one of his earlier posts).
You can get Degroot's, Hetz Wintergreen, & Canadian hemlock from Evergreen Nursery.
You may also get Hemlock bare-root seedlings from a place I do business with: Flickengers Nursery
Hemlock would grow wonderfully in your conditions assuming good drainage, however, it could be painfully slow and thus not matching much faster growth rates of the Thuja's. Here you see the best specimens and sizes when grown in Michigan:
Lots to think about! Dax
Source: http://www.na.fs.fed.us/pubs/silvics_manual/Volume_1/tsuga/canadensis.htm
Thank you Dax for your quick reply and the great info! yes, I have to re-think it here.. So, I it appears I am stuck with plicatas but they are risky! Would you recommend (besides GG) a plicata cultivar? what do you think about chamaecyparis thyoides? those are ok for H2O but not as less hardy, so they may be risky as well, am I wrong? what about mixing plicatas w/picea abies cupressina?? if an option how would you plant them... as you can see I am really trying to diversify here... :)
I wouldn't plant plicata's, but it's your call. They're not geared genetically for humidity or our heat.
Picea abies 'Cupressina' may be grafted on Picea pungens or onto Picea abies. Certainly Picea pungens as the seedling-rootstock will not adapt to moist conditions. And on roots of Picea abies, still, not something I would do, personally. Spruces are not meant for near constant damp soil conditions. I'd nix that al-together.
Another option you should consider and again is sold thru Evergreen Nursery is the species: Chamaecyparis pisifera. It is an ideal tree for your conditions. Adding Tsuga canadensis along with it and other Thuja's will bring varying heights and make a very nice-looking screen. Yesterday I got to thinking later in the day after I had posted that varying heights is actually the right way to fly.
That's where I'm leaning. If you want to invest further into Chamaecyparis thyoides and are able to find seedlings (very unlikely)/cultivars with speedy growth rates, by all means they too fit your criteria.
"Black spruce usually grows on wet organic soils"
Here is a link that might be useful: Black Spruce
Dax, thank you for thinking about it... varying heights may be the way to go since some areas are more shady than others (north side of the house) and others do get part shade and maybe 4-5 hrs of sun. So, naturally plants will grow at different rates anyway.. With the chamaecyparis pisifera, are you thinking about "tapestry hedge" type screen mixed with taller evergreens (thuja, hemlock)? in your opinion are chamaecyparis pisifera hardy enough here? I was looking into chamaecyparis O. like crippsii types earlier but I was not sure about the hardiness in CHI 'e and if shade is ok. So sorry for switching the subject,,, my original design idea (which I abandoned for the darn plicata) was to mix serbians (pendula type) with oriental spruces(aurea, atrovirens or any more fastigiate types) should I resurect it or should it stay dead :) ? ...
bboy- I was thinking about picea mariana earlier (black spruce) and you are exactly right, it likes boggy soil but I abondoned it because I read it grows painfully slowly and I had a hard time finding any cultivars for retail...(maybe aureovariegata or well's spire?) do you have any recommendataions which cultivar and where to find it? maybe I could mix it in with the plants I am discussing above with Dax... thank you for your help
pisifera is different from obtusa. Don't plant obtusa.
I'm talking species-pisifera, or seedlings. It's just something else to add to your mix.
As I explained with grafted cultivars, the root-systems will vary upon the grower. Nothing on Picea pungens should even be attempted. And generally, spruces need more light and not wet soil conditions. I would stay away from spruce including Picea mariana (seedlings.) They'll get sparse, they'll become a fungal mess, and they're the wrong tree.
I don't know what else I can say at this point besides "no plan" just start planting mixes of what you finally choose and plant them at least 12' apart and watch it grow and choose which ones to remove later. Plant some at 12' others at 14' others at 16', some at 20' and don't pay any attention to any sort of plan. You want a natural feel with multiple layers.
Best regards,
Many thanks again, Dax. I appreciate the confirmation to stay away from the spruces. I will focus on ch.pisifera now to figure out which cultivars would make most sense and would stop obsessing about the layout :) I feel more sane again with this project...
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday :)
...plus, in my experience, Picea abies is one spruce that actually can withstand a fairly high water table. Likewise with our native white spruce-Picea glauca-it can often be found in the wilds of N. WI in or adjacent to wet areas. The black spruce-Picea mariana-is a straight-up wetland species in the northern part of my state, but I agree with the caveats that it is very slow-growing and oftentimes not even that attractive a tree. Also, the white spruce example I'm offering is from an area 200 to 300 miles north of you. It's a very different place than the wilds of Chicagoland.
I agree with Dax though that Chamaecyparis pisifera may hold promise for your site. Meanwhile, the species which comes closest of any of these to being native to where you are-Thuja occidentalis-still, IMO, holds the greatest usefulness for what you are trying to do. In particular, the HW we've already discussed, which more closely resembles the straight species than do most all other cultivars. And deer, while maddeningly frustrating, are not an insurmountable problem. We've recently (in my work) come up with an easy way to keep them off young Thujas, which while inexpensive and relatively unobtrusive, seems so far to be working. I can provide details at a later date if you wish.
Thank you Tom,
Yes, I am looking for the chamaecyparis p. now to mix with plicatas (and maybe hemlock). Can you recommend any nice TALLER chamaecyparis p. cultivars? everything I am finding would only get 2-3 or 3-4 feet high tops, and my chain link is 5 ft tall and I would love to be able to hide it!!
So, in summary, my plan for today is the following for the ~300 ft border. There are 3 sections of it, the further West ~50 feet sometimes damp but part sunny (which is not visible from the house because of 2 ~20 ft Norways are blocking the view). I want something narrow there because I started an orchard there, so I may do the HW bare root, nothing else and I will see if deer attack those. Then I have ~200 feet section which is mixed, part sunny and some areas get damp and shady, so this is my main concern, this section I see from various parts of the house. I would like to plant a natural looking hedge (Dax's influence). But now you got me thinking again, should I try to mix in picea abies cupressina with the plicatas and chamaecyparis p.? The old norways which are planted in the sunnier area are doing extremely well in that area... Then at the end (of the 300ft border), I have a sunny but swampy wet area of ~50 feet in which area I only care that it is green and tall to block the view of the private road and the main road visible in the distance. So, I just need to do a background green. I do not plan on cutting/shearing trees there. So, for this section I am still not completelely decided... maybe GG or plicatas straight species but worried about the size being too wide and taking too much space. I have a question for a different spot in my yard, adjusent to this swampy area, but this is ~20 feet of swampy wet, often standing water and mostly deep shade, what do you think, would chamaecyparis nootkatensis pendula w/metasequoias or taxodium distichum be an option for there?

Michael Aaron Piano Course Adult Piano Course, Book 1 composed by Michael Aaron. For Piano. Method/Instruction; Piano - Aaron Method. Adult Approach to Piano Study. Beginner. Book. 64 pages. Published by Belwin Music (AP.11006).
The interest in piano and the desire to play, has increased tremendously in the past few years. Especially is this noticeable among adults who have either had some elementary piano instruction in their youth or have been denied this study for various reasons. This increased interest is partly due to the widespread influence of radio. Hearing music almost daily has become an integral part of our lives and it is this constant influence which has awakened a keen and natural desire to become an active participant. it is to the furtherance and stimulation of this natural desire that this course was planned. The adult approach has been kept constantly in mind, however not to the exclusion of certain basic principles which are necessary in order to make rapid and satisfactory progress. The logical and stepwise manner of progression in this course should prove of inestimable aid to both the student and teacher.

much of the discussion about this important issue is getting lost amongst the rave reviews of the Venue 8 Pro. Since this issue is a dealbreaker/dealmaker for many wanting an 8" formfactor device you canthrowon a beltclip with full portability and full Windows on it, I thought it'd be best to try and consolidate everyone's experiences. As for mines... ....we cant expect a full Wacom experience, but the continued inking alphanumerics once we've stopped writing one of them is a huge issue. For example, in writing the word Dell, our hands NATURALLY transition from the bottom left corner of the D to the beginning next letter, which is usually the line in the "e." Well, once the stylus is lifted from the D, it continues to ink in the direction of the e, then it continues to ink from the bottom of the e to the top of the l,...the same for the next l, and we're done if we only have to write one word. Well as you might guess all of the lifting stray ink errors make for an ok drawing experience but an absolutely horrible note-taking experience. Get rid of the trails and stray marks where the pen can stop communicating with the digitizer panel once it's lifted every time and....again...it wont be Wacom,...but I'd certainly be happy with it because the placement of the pen to where it begins to write is pretty darn accurate. At this point,....all that we need to know is, is this fixable, or is this inherent?
I still can't believe Delll will ship a new product without any testing. Maybe they test the stylus on windows 8, so it could be some software issue with Windows 8.1.
I would never want to understate Dell's potential to blow it on a key feature - much less overall quality control! I want to believe this is a "new Dell," and certain of their new products suggest at least their design innovation has returned, but as we all know, the devil is in the details, and these models seem to have come out of the gate too quickly to have all of those ironed out. My standard policy - often violated by impulse! - is never to buy the first production run of an entirely new product unless it is more for learning than for actual use, and as long as it is 100% returnable.
Thank you for your purchase of the Dell Venue 8 Pro. We appreciate your feedback on the stylus, and apologize for your experience. A firmware update for the stylus will be available next week to address this issue.
That is a extremely bold statement, and one that a lot of people may have been wanting to hear. I don't suppose there is any way to corroborate that? Or for you to confirm that you are a representative of Dell? I think that would go a long way to sway opinion back to Dell's favour, after releasing such a lack luster pen performance.
Totally agree that this is the most important post we've seen on the DV8 so far. Just need verification.
I wonder if the fix will make the pen at all usable for any drawing? It is not my primary reason for the tablet, but I would not mind having the option... #IamSuperman... (That's all I have to do to be Superman, right?)
I was just going to say, if you search for the hashtag in twitter, you may find the guy you're looking for. Supposedly a Dell certified systems expert.
I posted this over in the owner's forum.. I wrote a little diagnostic/test application to simulate what could be done with a bit of timing adjustment in the driver/firmware. Give it a shot if you have a pen and see if your results improve. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97577931/P-Test3.zip Edit: Updated the app to add some new options.
DPrice7, I played a bit with your diagnostic program using the 64gb of the Venue 8 Pro. I think the stylus can be saved with a good firmware patch. I have two observations, first: the stylus seems to be hyper-sensitive. It records pressure ranging from 1-10 on your diagnostic program when the stylus hovers above the screen and makes no contact. This leaves stray marks all over the screen. The setting that seemed to provide the best result on the handwriting was the shorten stroke, set to about 50. For my style of writing (printing), it was acceptable. If the firmware can dial down the sensitivity by about 10 on your diagnostic scale, and shorten the stroke by 50, the stylus would be perfect for taking notes. Thanks for the diagnostic tool.
Thanks for making this thread! Will the pen input update be automatic or will someone post a link to it once it becomes available. Sorry, just used to Android Play Store updates on apps, keep forgetting my DV8P is a full Windows PC.
There is an official Dell forum discussion regarding the Poor Pen Function and the Dell representative there seems to be unaware of this promise and just states that "we are in discussion with the manufacturer to try to get a solution" (or something to that effect). Do you think it would be possible for you to inform you colleague if he is unaware, it would be nice if we could get a unified answer on this. Time I Enjoy Wasting is Not Time Wasted....
I wouldn't worry to much about it. Knowledge between Dell representatives is weak at best (true for most customer relations). People have received email responses from Neil Hand (VP of Dell tablets) and he's saying a software fix is coming. He's pretty high up so unless the people lied about getting emails, some form of improvement is bound to come.
I do hope so......with a potential 'hack fix' for the charging issue appearing to get closer, I still may be persuaded. If Dell manage to pull this off they will potentially change the game and I bet the V8P.2 will be amazing (if the criticism is listened too) - I know we are a 'relatively' small number of potential users but this price/form factor could easily bring Windows back into the game - I'm a avid Android fan and this is the first windows device for a good 5-8years that has gained my attention, fingers crossed it works. I certainly haven't seen this much chatter about a windows device for a very, very long time. Time I Enjoy Wasting is Not Time Wasted....
You are being surprisingly catty. If you don't want to buy the product, don't buy it. Let the people who have the product have a discussion about the stylus without trolling all the current owner threads.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be, I really want this product to work, just frustrated trying to get the information. Once again I'm sorry, on reading it back I agree and have edited my post to try to correct the cattiness. Time I Enjoy Wasting is Not Time Wasted....
Sorry, I too am a little frustrated with Dell and I snapped at you. I do actually think runner is a dell employee, since he did use the weird hash tag. And I am desperately hoping that there will be a fix for the stylus soon. With my writing style its not so bad, but my gf finds it totally useless as of now.

I feel like I should just call this my first time shooting since the extent of handgun experience years ago was less than a box of ammo. LOL! Anyway, went to the range yesterday afternoon and worked through a box of ammo. It felt very good and I managed to keep all of my shots on the target. Here's the target at the end of the session. All shots were from 7 yards. Sent from my iPad using FirearmsTalk

Good shooting for being gone that long, keep at it.
Thanks! I plan to do just that. Some time opened up at work again today and I shot another 50 rounds--all in the silhouette.

An animated short about a boy overcoming his fear of monsters by holding an imaginary feast in their honor.
About this project
It was over a year ago when I first had the idea for this project, but the story line comes from when I was just a kid. I had to put this project on the sidelines due to other projects coming up and then moving to Portland. Since then I just haven't had the time to work on it. I would really like to finish this project, not only because I think it is a really good story but I think it will challenge my abilities when it comes to aesthetics and design as well as story telling and of course certain technical aspects of animation that I haven't often gotten to work on.
As I said I have already done a little work on this project. I created pieces of the set I plan on using. I might change some things when I start working on it again, but I figured I would insert some of the work I have done throughout the rest of this description.
This project is different than most I have done in the past, in that it will be shot live action and I will animate over the top of it. I have done a little of this in previous projects, but not to this extent. I am excited at the prospect of getting to finish this project, and pledge to all of you that I am going to work my butt off to make sure I get it done. If I reach my goal I am going to allot myself two weeks at first to do nothing but work on this project. If I am not done after two weeks, I will assess my finances and then see if I can allot myself more time.
The funds I am hoping to raise will be used not only to fund the animation and photoshop work work that I will be doing, but also to buy materials to help build the sets. Animation is very time consuming work and in order to take on a project like this and finish it in a timely manner it would be an incredible amount of help if you pledged money via this kickstarter. If I am lucky enough to go over my goal, the extra money will be used to enter my short into festivals and help me attain other equipment (lights, green screen, etc) that I could use for this and future projects.
Thanks Everybody!
PS: Here is a video test I made of animating a face on a ball shot in live footage. As well as a weird striped glob in a small bowl. I will be doing work similar to this (only hopefully a lot more advanced) in order to make this animation.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

(BaseballStL) – Major League Baseball executives announced Thursday they were forming a committee in search of commissioner Bud Selig's replacement and Cardinals principal owner Bill DeWitt, Jr. will serve as the committee's chair.
The committee will be comprised of six other executives and will be tasked with gathering input from all 30 teams. Selig is set to retire as commissioner on January 24, 2015.
"Our committee will conduct a thorough, discreet process," DeWitt said, "All of the parties involved share the goal of acting in our game's best interests, and thus we will refrain from commenting out of respect for the confidentiality of the process."
Selig has served as MLB commissioner since September 9, 1992.


text: Any out there that CC a 32 ACP pistol as their main carry most of the time. Myself I carry a Kel Tec P32 with FMJ ammo 95 percent of the time in a front pocket Hendley leather holster. I know there will be some that will put it down on this and have on other other threads. I just know that its comfortable to carry and with me all the time and it's better than leaving a big pistol home most of the time. On days that I wear an over jacket I'm carry a big pistol 357, 40S&W, 45acp in a shoulder holster rig but not much. I love all types of guns just don't like carrying the big pistols everyday. This kel Tec is an early model and the bluing has turned to a grey silvery color now. One thing I like abt it is that it has never had a malfunction and I can rapidly fire on center mass!

So without further ado: we want to know what conventions YOU want us to cover! We're getting ready to gear up for the season, but we're curious about which shows you most want us to report from.
Traditionally, the shows we've covered have been:
- Anime Expo
- San Diego Comic Con
- New York Anime Fest/Comic Con (combined into one show this year)
- Otakon
Other shows we've done:
- Fanime Con (our local show)
- Kumori Con (my local show before I moved)
- Anime Weekend Atlanta
- Sakura Con (Seattle, WA)
- Akon (Dallas)
- Anime Matsuri (Houston)
But there are tons of other shows we COULD consider going to, including, but not limited to:
- Comiket (Tokyo)
- Tokyo Anime Fair
- Toy Fair International (NYC)
- Dragon Con (Atlanta)
- Anime Boston
- Anime North (Toronto)
- Pacific Media Expo (LA)
...And, well, hundreds of others! So, what shows do you want to get live, up-to-the-minute reports plus interviews and videos from? What cons do you want us to be at so we can entertain you in person at a panel? Go ahead, just throw the names out there. We want to know!
(Note: if we add a new con, we might wind up having to lose a con from the list of shows we usually do, so be sure and mention which ones you want us to KEEP going to, too!)

I've seen people who can get 200cs in 20 minutes and i've seen people with 30cs in 20 in Silver II-IV, Silver/Bronze both have disgusting skill variances.
TTA Demetrio
I've been playing now for over a year, I rushed to 30 and immediately jumped into ranked. I was placed in silver at the end of S2, however, throughout S3 fell down to Bronze 5. It has been a long, miserable, hair-pulling climb but I am now in Silver 1, knocking on Gold's door. In my opinion, I agree with the original poster. There are huge differences in skill level within bronze. I have found that once you hit silver the variance begins to shrink, and I assume that as you climb tiers this variance continues to shrink. My wife has been playing as long as I have, however, she is still in the bronze tier. When we duo, the difference between higher silver and lower bronze is quite noticeable. AFK's happen across the board, unfortunately so do trolls, ragers, and the immature children. There are people who do not understand the bigger picture and these people belong in the lower bronze levels. It is the people trying to climb out and trying to improve their skills that need attention from Riot. These are the people enjoying and investing in your game, and deserve the nod. Just my two cents.

I agree that bronze should be a prize, something to earn, not something handed for free to everyone. 800 Elo is Bronze 5. There are apparently players literally in the 100s, at least according to the hilarious 0-300 Elo stream I watch. Hell even the discrepancy in Silver/Gold is massive. Maybe something like this: 0-799 - Unranked 800-999 - Apprentice/Whatever 1000-1199 - Bronze 1200-1399 - Silver 1400-1599 - Gold 1600-1799 - Platinum 1800-1999 - Ruby/Sapphire 2000-2199 - Emerald 2200-2499 - Diamond 2500+ - Challenger Challenger should be expanded. And yes I know gems are not valued in that order but by a million factors, this is just an example, I'm saying there need to be more leagues all around and more room in Challenger.
Ultra Milozilla
It was a mistake to make bronze represent too much of the community their should be something below bronze like unranked or wood.
Capitan Rick
I agree with the op, theres too many people who don't understand nuances of the game. Its hard to explain in about 5 sec why you need to push this tower, why its good to get the dragon now. Far too often even if you get fed you cant close out games because your team is oblivious to the fact pushing turrets is a thing and that maybe sometimes you can leave your lane for a purpose. Really the tutorial for the game needs to be better, there needs to be a tutorial again for ranked about game mecanics and important things to know about when to splitpush, how ur lane isnt the only one in existence. Map awareness.
Also agree. Need more mechanical depth to the game. Another dimension for skill would sift out players in a more even distribution. The current mechanism of separating relies too much on understanding abstract variables like positioning and trade/teamfighting assessment, or especially aggressively turning an advantage into results. I don't think it's a metric that most players can respond to.
That's why the elo system works and this does not. The better you are the higher number you are.
i carried bronze IV to silver 3 in 2 day u suck ***** gtfo ur nothing different than them
