Welcome to week 10 of the high school football season, the next to last week of the regular season and the final week of district play.
Upcoming games have playoff implications, as both Baker and Crestview hope to earn a trip to the playoffs that start two weeks from Friday.
Baker could still end up wining District 1-1A, but the best Crestview can hope for now is to finish second in District 2-6A and get the second playoff spot from the district.
Things in District 2-6A seem less complicated than the race in District 1-1A right now.
With a 4-0 district record heading into Friday's game with winless Mosley, Navarre has already clinched first place in the six-team district. Mosley is 0-4 and has been eliminated from the playoff picture. That means the battle for second place and the remaining spot in the playoffs comes down to a battle between Okaloosa County teams Crestview, Choctawhatchee, Fort Walton Beach and Niceville.
All four teams have 2-2 district records, with the Bulldogs hosting the Eagles on Friday and the Vikings and Indians playing in their annual rivalry game.
Crestview had district wins over Choctaw and Mosley and has lost to Fort Walton Beach and Navarre. Fort Walton Beach has wins over Mosley and Crestview, but lost to Niceville and Navarre.
Choctaw upset Niceville and beat Mosley, but lost to Crestview and Navarre. Finally, Niceville beat Fort Walton Beach and Mosley, but lost to Navarre and Choctaw.
So what does that all mean?
Crestview makes the playoffs if it can beat Niceville and if Choctaw can beat Fort Walton Beach.
If Fort Walton Beach wins and Crestview wins, the Vikings, by virtue of their win against the Bulldogs, have the tie-breaker and finish second in the district.
If Choctaw and Niceville win, the Indians are in the playoffs because they beat the Eagles. Moreover, if the Eagles and Vikings win, again, by virtue of head-to-head play, Niceville takes second place in the district.
In the four-team District 1-1A things are, perhaps, even more complicated.
Northview, Baker's opponent Friday, currently sits atop the district standings with a 2-0 district record having beaten Jay and Freeport. Baker and Freeport are both 1-1 in district play.
Baker beat Jay and lost to Freeport. Freeport beat Baker and lost to Northview. Jay is winless in district play, but still has a chance at making the playoffs heading into Friday's game against Freeport.
Therefore, as best I can calculate, here are the possible scenarios for District 1-1A.
If Northview beats Baker and Freeport beats Jay, Northview wins the district and Freeport finishes second. That is simply a matter of records as Northview will be 3-0 in district play and Freeport 2-1.
Things start to get interesting when the other possibilities factor into the equation.
If Baker wins and Freeport wins, Baker, Northview and Freeport will all have 2-1 records in district play with no team holding the outright tie-breaker as the teams would have the three-way split in head-to-head play.
If the three-way tie for first and second place occurs, the teams would participate in a shootout on Monday to determine the district champion and runner up.
Another possibility would be if Baker loses and Jay beat Freeport. In that case, Baker, Freeport and Jay would all have 1-2 records in district play and would compete in a shootout Monday to determine the second-place team.
The shootout concept is easy to understand, but difficult to explain.
Basically, whether a shootout for first and second place or just second place, the three teams will meet at the school with the best regular season record and the two visiting teams will play a quarter for the right to meet the host team.
If the shootout is for first and second place and the winner of the first quarter lost to the host team, the host team wins the district and the winner of the first quarter is the second place team.
If the winner of the first quarter beats the host team then they are the district champions and the two losers will play one last quarter with the winner taking second in the district.
A second place shootout also would be played at the school of the team with the best regular season record.
The two visiting teams would play and the loser would be eliminated. The host team would then play the winner of the first quarter in a second quarter and the winner of the second quarter is the district runner up and goes to the playoffs.
So even as the season is winding down there is still plenty to play for and, as you can see, playoff spots will be on the line as Crestview and Baker take the field Friday night.

An excellent example of well crafted, humorous and misapplied sarcasm - and the kind of niggling counterpoint which achieves less than the sum of its parts...
Perhaps you were just being contrary like so many posters - but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt just this once and rephrase.
To reiterate in simpler terms for you then...
Magic produces fire, or lightning, or necrosis, or boils, or disease, or poison, or freezing cold - or whatever etc. etc.
None of these singular effects are enough to outright kill a squishy, flesh and bone person wearing at best a few millimeters of metal in whichever game's idea of damage, cause and effect.
As people made of flesh and bone get badly damaged or destroyed by relatively tiny fractions of the amount of the kinds of force (kinetic, thermal, electrical etc.) necessary to even dent or singe etc. a gate, wall or what have you, the way in which the forces are summoned is as irrelevant as any further reasoned argument over the matter.
The point is - the other illogical stuff you mention being in the game (selective targetting, burned hands etc.) is useful to the game being playable, and it doesn't require much suspension of disbelief - nor does it engender boring playstyles.
The fact however that a bunch of daggers can defeat a castle wall in minutes rather than years+replacement daggers (think Count of Monte Cristo here...) make suspension of disbelief all the harder, and the crap lowest common denominator of the strategically sterile zerg an innevitability.

i have to disagree to some degree.
1) the Roman empire won against the barbarians because they were A) way better equipped, B) they had war machines and siege engines, C) were an actual organized and paid army that did nothing else but war, D) they had one of the most cunning and intelligent strategists in history of war making (Ceasar). E) they were backed by a unified and incredibly wealthy, advanced country that spent an incredible ammount of money on it's armies.... as opposed to the gauls that were mostly farmers and hunters and raiders that were at war with eachother more often than not.
When 2 enemies are equally equipeed and equally skilled, zergs are a huge advantage. you will never take zergs out of open world pvp.
3) yes, artillery should be powerfull (MO has doen it best imo), than again you should be albe to dive to the ground to avoid a scorpion's bolt. You should also be able to see a catapul's rock while it's flying towards you, and siege weappons should take time to set up.
4) i've seen plenty of games that provide advantage for being on top of battlements. then again heavy shields should make arrows almost usless. AND arrows should not be infinite...i find endless projectiles incredibly annoying.
5)....you talking about WoW? all serious sieging games have ways of closing the gates (War, DF, MO, etc).
6) tunneling besically requires teraforming of some kind and personaly it pretty much defeats the whole siege thing. also tunneling took months if not years in reall war. most of the times it was faster to starve a city than make a tunnel all the way under the walls.

Talking about illogical stuff: I like the idea of artillery hits being close to deadly but if they are deadly, and the game has a corpse-salvage feature, then perhaps the artillery blasts the body into bits and pieces and nothing can be salvaged so there's a not inconsiderable economic danger with these weapons.
Talking about zerg and organisation: The old hammer and anvil should be a maneouvre of an "army" against a zerg that literally does smash it between the "hammer" and the "anvil", like a hot knife through butter!

meh... DAoC had everything the OP made points about except sappers - and even then, they had classes that could climb walls and ensure the walls were cleared of enemy/pots of boiling oil so people could build/use a ram at the door undisturbed. Guild Wars 2 tries to replicate RvR and I think they come reasonably close, but I'm fairly certain most of us have given up hope on anything like DAoC 2.
Oh... and interjecting the Romans into the conversation was funny. As if what's realistic ever has anything to do with the fun factor in video games.

I suggest you review Wiki again - and if it doesn't mention the massive attack on Caesars position - you had better look somewhere more authoritative.
To drag you back to the point... I merely think PvP should have more reasonable and realistic elements - at least those that eliminate or minimise the obviously impossible, and in addition, those which ADD to the fun and thinking elements of the game. Zergs are after all commonly refered to as 'mindless' for good reason.
That's all I posted about - but it is not what you are engaging on - you are nitpicking without an effective 'nit-picker'...
Your comments - to most posts it would seem (having taken a quick look at your history) is to generally naysay and never say anything really constructive, regardless of the issue at hand.
Whatever floats your boat I suppose...
As for your last comment - tut tut - tangential insults of that kind are both lazy and lacking in any real wit - allow me to demonstrate;
'Or are YOU one of those fools who thinks because he can read Wiki about a battle he can talk with authority about it?'.
See - that took me seconds and I really didn't have to think about it at all!

I wish I had been playing such games when DAoC was popular - I can't recall anyone saying it wasn't anything but pure quality in the PvP department.

Problem with this is that they focus a whole lot on graphics and making the water be able to reflect your image , all that time wasted on pointless graphics could of gone on amazing gameplay. Oh well , you'll have to wait 6-7 more years before seeing such MMOs being released with proper sieges. ArcheAge will deliver somewhat , if they push the release date by the end of 2013 start of 2014 , then ArcheAge will most likely be titled most awesome MMO in the past 20 years.

What the genre needs in my opinion is the large all-encompassing hybrid with intelligent design throughout so it meshes well.
The risks in this approach are as you point at, the development investment needed. One can shorten time with more devs, integration engineers and testers. But the lage number of subsystem teams would have to be very well managed and have a clear strategic vision of where the project was headed and in principle a map of how to get there.
It would be a major undertaking - but would, if done right, command a monthly sub and be sure in the medium term onwards to make a bucket load of profit.
WoW proved that there are a vast number of players willing to jump into one game and stay there, subbing for years - they just have to be inspired to do it again!
Interesting points. I am curious how you feel about re-spawning.

As I said - I am not some fundamental 'simulationist' - I just find the more ridiculous elements as I have discussed to be immersion breaking and lazy damn implementation which could be done far better.
I Shakespeare stage play can drawn you in if well acted with decent sets. But the moment Hamlet uses his mobile to call Ophelia, the immersion is ruined.

As for the topic, it is useless to try and approach a realistic simulation of a large battle of any kind.
No I only see a real siege possible if the players would NOT play the part of a common foot soldier but a captain of a company of NPCs. But calculating the actions and positions of those NPCs would still be a significant technical hurdle. And even then a semi turn-based structure for the siege would be in order to avoid any kind of "timezone metagaming". Furthermore, the larger the battle grows the bigger nightmare it is to balance - unless big battles is the only thing you do in that game.

You know - all habitual critics like to morph the matter at hand into something more resembling what they can easily criticise - especially when the original point isn't 'good enough' to them to get their teeth into.
I have already stated I am not a simulationist - and wouldn't seek that either - merely wishing to remove those things which I beleive destroy any sense of immersion and adding those things which would make it more fun.
You talking about simulationism thus belies your purpose. It should be perfectly obvious upon first reading I am not suggesting in the slightest that the 'sitting round and waiting for the defenders to starve' part of seiging isn't something I am suggesting. I am talking about assaulting of course... attrition, fatigue, wear and tear - where did I bring this up, or even talk about something these are relevant to?
So why bring them up? <---- (rhetorical question)
This is the last I will say on the subject as far as you are concerned - you really wish to naysay about something you are making up as you go and subsequently over-emphasise by tying in one or two minor tangential issues. So I'll be disregarding it from now on.
I am not interested in pointless negativity, and it is clear you won't really want to engage with the issue constructively you just want to keep throwing in crap and then complaining it smells of s**t.
If you really want to talk about whatever it is you are trying to say (if it is in fact anything with any relevant substance), then start your own thread - do stop camping this one.

Iron and bronze were so valuable they were almost never used as a complete skin except for church doors. Reinforcements were usually limited to bolts and other hardware.

The first full blown castles in England weren't until William The Bastard arrived. Sieging of something the size of the City of Paris isn't practical in a game. So sieging a keep or outlying fortification, and the methods of doing so, are valid.
Sieging in games is not going to be realistic. But let it be fun and somewhat believable. I've never seen anyone do scaling ladders properly and I would like to have an escalade.

Being a Palm fan, I have to agree that the final nail in the Palm OS coffin has been hammered down, practically by Palm Inc, themselves. By disclosing that they are pretty much back to the drawing board after wasting years of development on Palm OS II, this is probably the best indication that they have dug their own grave. Okay, they may not really have spelled it right out, but if they disclose that Palm OS II isn't coming until 2009, they can't seriously be "that close" to the final product.
I have decided that I will jump ship as well, although I still love my Treo 650 but with developers leaving, a stagnant and limited OS that won't be updated ever, and everyone including software vendors leaving, there's no reason why I should continue to buy the same device several years later only for limited RAM upgrades and a higher resolution camera. It seems the Windows Mobile for now, looks so much more exciting. Unfortunately, we don't have the pleasure of getting hold of the iPhone (not yet) but I'm sure eventually we'll get it (hopefully Rogers Wireless will drop their ridiculous data rates).
Round Robin: Palm OS, The King is Dead
After a week of using the Treo 680, I have to say that it's pretty much the same as I remember it. I used the 680 as my primary phone for about half a year, and I've reviewed it twice already. I won't claim to be the most knowledgeable 680 user out there; that honor would certainly be bestowed to many, many users in our forum before I would even enter consideration for it. I've had a lot to say about Palm OS, generally favorable I suppose, but there are caveats. I've said as much in the TreoCentral TreoCast, but I've never had an opportunity like this one to really distill thirty podcasts and a few dozen hours of listening into a manifesto of what's good and what's bad about Palm OS, and what I really think about their Linux venture, and why Palm is on their current path.
When I say the King is dead, I don't mean that the 680 is a bad device, or that there's no reason to use Palm OS, or that anyone that uses it is dumb. Far from it, I think the 680 is pretty high up on my list. It's still a good phone. If I thought Palm OS was dumb or not relevant, I wouldn't do the TreoCentral TreoCast. It boils down to two things with Palm OS: the hardware and the software. The hardware will see updates. There will probably be more Palm OS GSM phones to come out. Better cameras, 3G, smaller form factors, the whole shebang. When it comes out, it will probably be a compelling upgrade for Palm OS users. But I don't think we'll see a significant software update for Palm OS in the next two years. While some may accuse that it's unfair to say "the king is dead" alluding to Palm OS, it's not accurate to say the king is alive, either. But still, there are always these persistent rumors about faked deaths and random sightings...
680 Hardware
It's a bit of a shame that the 680 was what we ended up reviewing; Palm, for unknown reasons, tends to do all of their innovation on CDMA before they do anything new for GSM. Palm's Centro is actually a pretty neat phone, ,and it bodes well for what they'll be introducing in the future. The 680, though only a year old, doesn't seem to age quite the way that one would like. Two of the other phones in the Smartphone Round Robin are very nice and svelte -- the iPhone and the BlackBerry Curve -- and the other, though brickish, is packed with features like 3G, wi-fi, and GPS. The 680 seems paltry by comparison in many areas.
Palm can do better than they did with the 680; the Centro is proof of that. But Palm only releases a couple of phones per year, and we probably won't see anything to replace the 680 on the GSM side of things for another few months at least. This leaves the Treo 680 dated in terms of features.
If you're on CDMA, there's at least the option of the Treo 755P and the Palm Centro. Those two phones are technologically advanced, at least moreso than the 680. The 680 shipped with a VGA camera, almost criminally obsolete for a smartphone. What makes it worse is that it fixed a color balance problem the preceding 650 had. A lot of people thought the 680 was what the 650 should have been. I don't agree with that assessment, I think Palm traditionally innovates along a path -- they've chosen a form factor, and they'll continue to refine it. You could even say that they started the form factor, or at least popularized it when they invented their Palm Pilot.
The thing about Palm is that they've been the market leader before. They know what it's like to be on top, and they probably have a good idea of what they have to do in terms of engineering to get back there. They'd probably like to engineer a few things away; they've been humbled a bit by other device makers -- for example, the iPhone really showed a lot of people what a smartphone could really be capable of doing. But Palm has to wrangle with some inherent limitations. The biggest one is their software, Palm OS.
Because of the way it was written back in the day, Palm OS doesn't allow more than 2 radios at the same time. There are a lot of useful radios that go into a feature-packed cell phone. Of course, the integral radio transmitter is the cell antenna, which handles such things like phone calls, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, 1xRTT, or EV-DO. The first choice is pretty much made.
The second choice, that gets tough. Bluetooth requires a separate radio. Wi-fi requires a separate radio. For all I know, GPS requires a separate radio (in terms of how Palm OS would deal with it). Wi-Max requires a separate radio. If the new 700MHz wireless block gets bought by Google and they unveil a new, cheap-as-in-free wireless network, that will require a separate radio. Everyone can pick as many radios as they can stuff into a little metal and plastic candybar/brick shape and go from there. Palm can pick two radios altogether, and the die is cast: they have to have a cell radio (1) and they chose bluetooth (2). End of story. They could fix it, but they're not going to.
680 Software
Okay, that transition was unnecessarily negative. Palm OS has a ton of strengths. In a lot of ways, Palm OS has more strengths than some of the other platforms out there -- their software is pretty easy to use, there are a ridiculous amount of 3rd party apps, and a large and vocal community dedicated to the platform. What good is integrated GPS if you have to dig into arcane COM ports before you can use it? But, there are some revolutions coming in the mobile phone world, and PalmOS, as it stands now, is equipped to miss them. Without wi-fi, the likelihood of using a PalmOS phone for VOIP calls is unlikely, for example. And Palm's mindshare and marketshare is slipping more and more with every passing year.
Once Palm finishes their next-generation Linux operating system the situation will be different. At that point, Palm may leapfrog everybody out there. Palm has licensed their operating system before, they may again. However, the last time they did license, they spun off their software division so the hardware and software sides of Palm didn't have any inherent advantage in working with each other. That led to a lot of hassles for Palm in the long run and they're probably not likely to repeat the same mistakes.
The bummer of it is that I think Palm is more constrained by their software than anyone else in the Smartphone Round Robin. Sure, the software on the Curve isn't all that advanced, but it's plenty stable and designed to do a much smaller subset of functions than the 680 -- people don't really expect as much, and RIM's OS gets better and better with each passing day. And since Palm wasn't able to sell the enterprise on the necessity of a touchscreen for smartphones, well... they lost a lot of customers.
The operating system on the 680 is both enabling and limiting -- once the software is on the device, there's a lot of things you can do. I have this feeling that it takes Palm a lot of work to get PalmOS on hardware in the first place. I could easily be wrong about this, but when I think about getting PalmOS on a device, I think about bolted-on compatibility libraries designed to run a bunch of code that was done in assembly for a different chip architecture. To give an analogy, the PalmOS is kind of like building something by hand. The iPhone, Curve, and Tilt operating systems would be more like building a something with robots on an assembly line.
Looking to the future?
Now I'll move on to what might be the toughest thing about the 680. Palm is done with the Palm OS. They don't want to put too much development effort into it as I stated in the earlier article. They probably wont' be buying some neato Palm OS widget and bolting it on as a cosmetic upgrade. It's not worth it to them; it's more important to get their Linux OS out the door faster. Unfortunately, that's probably the right thing to do in their case.
They'll probably have some sort of compatibility layer that runs the compatibility layer that runs the old dragonball assembly so that most of the old Palm OS apps run on the new Linux OS. They have all the rights they could possibly need for this due to a licensing-rights and code-ownership settlement with the seemingly-incompetent software company that used to be part of Palm that Palm perhaps mistakenly spun off and maybe wanted to buy back but was bought by Access instead. Are you confused? Yes? Good, then you're halfway there. Actually, you've probably pretty much got it covered. It was a debacle; the important thing is that whatever it was, it happened and it's behind Palm now. They can focus on the future, and they're now essentially doing so now with steely-eyed determination.
The Foleo could've been a good indication of what they're planning except for the fact that they revealed that the Foleo wasn't based off their next-gen Linux system. Palm was tight-lipped about the Foleo before it was introduced; they'll probably be tight-lipped about their new Linux OS will be too. We don't know what it will look like; we don't know how much it will build off of the current Palm OS. We don't know if they'll keep the interface similar; we don't know if they're going to blow everyone away with how awesome it is, we don't know when it will be out. We don't know if they can keep it a secret. We don't know if they're going to copy Apple or leapfrog them. No one knows, but you ask me, Palm is definitely the wild card in this race.
Snapped Back to the Present
In the meantime, we have the Treo 680. It's a good phone. My wife uses my old 680, and will continue to use it until the next iPhone comes out. I'll probably buy that new iPhone because Palm's next-generation Linux OS won't be available yet and it'll be my duty as an iPhone blogger. She'll gripe about the money I'm spending but I'll ameliorate her disquietude by giving her my current iPhone and her orange 680 will be gifted to whomever in our family or friends is on GSM and needs something more advanced than their current featurephone. The 680 will still be perfectly functional, and there will be a bunch of software they can use with it as long as they're comfortable with having a HotSync ID of mike.

Round Robin: Palm OS, The King is Dead
Being a Palm fan, I have to agree that the final nail in the Palm OS coffin has been hammered down, practically by Palm Inc, themselves. By disclosing that they are pretty much back to the drawing board after wasting years of development on Palm OS II, this is probably the best indication that they have dug their own grave. Okay, they may not really have spelled it right out, but if they disclose that Palm OS II isn't coming until 2009, they can't seriously be "that close" to the final product.
Mike - what an honest assessment. It is so sad, but so true. If only the alternatives were more appealing ...
All of the phones in this comparison have strengths and weaknesses that makes the best choice a personal thing for now. Looking ahead the Palm has nowhere to go until its new OS is finished, but which of the other phones will pull an ace? Can Palm survive long enough on the strength of the hand it was dealt amid an increasingly impatient user base and fleeing software developers?
Great Article Mike ! I have to agree that development for the Palm OS 5.4.9 has stopped already.
Palm should have foreseen that they should have made the successor to this Palm OS Garnet 2 years ago and not go with the Foleo OS. I don't care if they call it a different name, the most important thing is that they ensure that it is their OS so that they have full control of it. They should have focused on this first rather than getting their name back.
I have also moved on to an iPhone, but I sometimes go back to the 680 due to 2 softwares that I need sometimes. Hopefully, those 2 software will migrate to the iPhone in the future after the SDK is released. But other than that, I am a very, very satisfied iPhone customer. I haven't had this stable OS since my Nokia 6150 :)
Yes, that was a great article Mike! And I agree with Cascade's thoughts that it's sad but true. Very sad because I love the Palm OS as it's what I've come accustomed to using and am so comfortable with it. I'm hoping that Palm will surprise us in the coming months and blow us away with something great and new.
Being uneducated in the "mindset" of Palm, I will not attempt to discuss where they are going. As a 680 owner, and a casual user vs. a power user, I am impressed with both the hardware and the software. It is the perfect phone for today... so far so good Palm. I will trust that Palm will deliver again when the time comes. Naive? Maybe. Optimistic? Always.
Mike- This was an excellent closing to your segment with the 680. Everyone has covered the particulars well, but I think you were thorough in placing Palm where it stands today.
As you reviewed the limitations of the Palm Garnet OS, I felt an analogy to aviation in the pre-jet age. Palm has essentially taken the reciprocating engine as far as it can go, but others are working with jets and passing them by. In order to truly innovate with todays demands- GPS. wifi etc, it's clear Palm sorely needs a new powerplant. Let's hope they're able to implement amazing things with the new Linux OS. At this point, it's really not worth upgrading until they do.
And I like how you dropped the comment that you'd be buying iPhone 2.0 before Palm is even close to releasing their new Linux OS. Amazing really.
Excellent write up. I used Palm devices for years, and there' really no excuse for the lack of development over the last 5 years. They coulda/shoulda/woulda given us something on the level of iPhone *years* ago. They had all the head-start and talent in the world.
What's more appalling is that the Linux OS isn't not only done and shipping, but not even on the realistic horizon.
I think only the strength of their past accomplishments makes it such a passionate disappointment.
I tend to agree, but at the moment there is still nothing I prefer. WM 6 still has the worst interface in the business, and now that I have a BB from work I find it isn't much better. Too damn many scrolling menus and sub menus, not remotely intuitive, and I'm not the least impressed with the calendar aside from Outlook sync. And most of the apps are just plain ugly and disorganized.
iPhone? Maybe someday, but for now it's too limited, and frankly I fidn the rows-of-icons interface to be less than elegant, as is the need to always go back to the icon page to change apps. The hard buttons on the Treo may not be as 'cool' but they're more functional. As is the hard keyboard.
Maybe in 2 years P-OS will be dead, but not yet.
Well, as much as I love my 680 (it does everything I want it to do and more) I still get phone envy. Man, if they just touched up the UI a little...but that's an old story. Old and, shall we say, "dead"?
The 680 is my phone because it does everything I need it to do. Not that I wouldn't want it to do WiFi, etc.? :)
I have read Mike's article and the other comments with interest. I have been using Palm OS devices for 10 years and it is sad to see it starting to look fossilized!
I am still using a Treo 650, the longest that I have used one phone for (3 years). At the moment, I cannot see any compelling reason to change it. I don't want to invest in another Palm device until the new Palm Linux OS is out and none of the alternatives are particularly compelling. However, I think that the smartphone environment is going to change radically over the next 12-18 months in response to the iPhone and I really hope that Palm do not miss the boat. I am not feeling optimistic :(
Great article Mike,
As you stated Palm was once the industry leader but they let that slip, they seemed to rely on PalmOS too much back in the day.. almost as if they got the feeling that nothing was gonna beat it...so why bother working on it...yes it has a TON of apps that are currently available for it, but even those apps are aged now and no longer really fresh or new items..while I think it's great that Palm is working on their new OS and I am excited to see what exactly they come up with, I also get the feeling that when it does get released, it's still gonna be far behind all others, the dev team claim it's being constantly being worked on but this has been a long time coming and yet we still have no answers as to when EXACTLY, and I think with the addition of the iPhone into the mix, that probably set their new OS back even further, they now have one more OS to compete with and with that new OS, they are once again going to have to redefine the PalmOS to meet up to those standards as well...with each new mobile OS released whether it be the iPhones OS or WinMob 6.1, they all set the new PalmOS back to day one cause their are new options within those OS'es that people are gonna want..that maybe Palm didn't think of at the time, for example....maybe they had completed the Browser for the new OS, then the iPhone dropped..Palm would be then forced to re-evaluate their new browser to put it inline with Safari on the iPhone...The longer it takes Palm to get the new OS out to the public....the further behind they fall..so once again Palm was once the industry leader, but I doubt they will ever return to that position.
Once Palm finishes their next-generation Linux operating system the situation will be different. At that point, Palm may leapfrog everybody out there.
Agreed. In the meantime, while I'd describe Garnet as having become "cramped," I'm not at a point of moving to something else--especially as there isn't a device I've seen that I'd consider a truly viable alternative. Compare it to test-driving a car--while I may not be able to find something that's the same as my old car, how comfortable are the new ones out there? So far, I can't find one that's as good a fit for me. Android or ALP, maybe--when we see hardware running either of them available.
Palm has licensed their operating system before, they may again.
Don't think so. Look at their perpetual license agreement with ACCESS--they can't license anything using/emulating Garnet. And if Palm's goal with the new Linux OS is to standardize their whole product line on it and include a Garnet emulator, that says they're not going to license their OS to anyone else.
While I'm hoping that Palm can somehow beat their mid-2009 estimates for the new OS, I still want it to be stable. In the meantime, I'll probably just keep looking around and using multiple devices.
Woa!!! Q, where is your avatar?...
Mike, thanks for the article. Finally someone informed me on the reason that palm left out the wifi out of the Treo family...the OS' inability to support more than 2 radios (I think that's what you said)
That has always bothered me since palm faithful remember the wifi cardsthat could be added to earlier palms and the TX and LifeDrive which both had integrated wifi..
But the king is not dead, he makes performances in Vegas and in sprint/verizon store near you...lol
Treo 680 remains my phone of choice even after spending a good bit of time with iPhone and several Windows Mobile handsets from Palm and HTC. I would like to have HSDPA on my phone; so the recent update for Treo 750 on ATT is attractive - calls and data at the same time. But other than that I am holding my imputed luddite position that Treo 680 is a superior phone to others. I know this is largely subjective but here are a few factors to consider:
1. My phone is supremely stable for a smartphone. I rarely have resets or freeze ups.
2. Simplicity is a hard won luxury. The UI of Palm OS 5 is a masterful statement of usability and functional elegance. Try writing a quick note to remind yourself of something later on an iPhone to seee what I mean.
3. Multitasking is achieved on Palm OS but to a limited practical extent. I really dont care that leaving the browser terminates the session. I have lived with Windows Mobile and once in a while commenced a download and left IE to go elsewhere but it was a blue-moon event. Where multitasking matters, 680 delivers. For example, media streaming for online radio. No problems. You can use the device for other things while it does this. Ditto MP3 playback. You can text while on a phone call - v useful feature. You can go to any appplication barring one that makes a Inet connection to use it while on a call. I do this all the time with calendar or to look up cconference call access code in my email.e
In terms of pushing the industry to new levels of web 2.0 support and UI elegance, iPhone is an undeniable force of healthy competitive development. Motorola, Nokia, LG - in fact the whole industry is shaken up. It's like the arrival of Tivo only much bigger.
I believe that iPhone has a limited target audience. There is a lemming effect in the market right now. I am not criticizing the purchasers (I want one too in a way) but I don't feel that iPhone is for everyone. If you are a big media person, it's a great phone. For me though, texting and email are critical. I can't work with a touchscreen keyboard input. It's accuracy is poor. I also don't really need the level of UI polish on the iPhone. I love Mac OS but I often turn off UI animations and some of the zoom effects
Woa!!! Q, where is your avatar?...
One of these days I'll find a good picture... got to be [the late] Desmond Llewellyn, though. As much as I'm a fan of John Cleese, it's just not the same.
Finally someone informed me on the reason that palm left out the wifi out of the Treo family...the OS' inability to support more than 2 radios (I think that's what you said)
That has always bothered me since palm faithful remember the wifi cardsthat could be added to earlier palms and the TX and LifeDrive which both had integrated wifi..
That says it doesn't matter whether the radio is built-in or added... there can [still] be only two!
For now, anyway.
But the king is not dead, he makes performances in Vegas and in sprint/verizon store near you...lol
Thank yuh... thank yuh vera much. :cool:
+1 to franklymydear's comment.
The review got it *** backwards. The treo UI is still far and away the easiest and most responsive interface for a smartphone. nokia's is a mess, I have to wait for windows to catch up to me, and iphone is just not streamlined enough. The iphone is the closest in terms of usability, but loses major points for not having an open development platform.
I'm dyin' to get new features. I tried the n80 when it came out, n95, several winmo sets and I keep sending them back because they lack easy ways to access most basic functions.
Boo hoo. What's wrong with you babies ?
My Treo 680 is the best phone, short of a 755.
I like the iPhone packaging and screen, but for a phone I think I'd be dropping it a lot due to its size. The iPhone had issues syncing with Outlook, is not expandable and it is Apple limited.
Wake up people.
I've recently started a blog, the information you provide on this website has helped me greatly. Thank you for all of your time & work.

A group of World War II veterans helped provide some local students with insight as to what it was like to fight in World War II.
The fifth grade classes at Marrington Elementary School in Goose Creek recently saluted the brave men and women who fought for the country in World War II, during the school's observance of the war last week.
The week was completed by a visit to the class by six World War II veterans from the Army and Navy. More than 50 students listened to the stories of the war from men who had actually been there and asked their many questions of how it was living during this era of American and world history.
The students' questions ranged from "Were you afraid?" to "What was it like to be black and serve in the Navy aboard submarines?"
Four of the veterans were members of the United States Submarine Service.
Willie Jones, SD1(SS) Steward, served from 1943-1946 and qualified in submarine aboard the USS Sennet SS-408 in 1943. Jones also served on the USS Cod, SS-224 and USS Blower, SS-325.
Lee Allison, CS2 (SS), Cook, served from 1944-1951 and is current Commander of the South Carolina WWII Submarine Veterans. Allison served aboard the USS Grouper, SS/SSK/AGSS-214 and qualified in submarines in 1945.
Stacy Power. CSCM (SS), Cook, served from 1943-1969. Power served aboard surface ships during WWII and qualified in submarines on the USS Grenadier SS-525 in 1951. He also served on the USS Sablo SS-302, Greenfish SS-351, and the USS Sam Rayburn SSBN-635.
John Hill, HMCS(SS) Corpsman, served from 1941-1970 and qualified in submarines aboard the USS S-38 in 943. Hill also served on the USS Atule SS-403, USS Bugara SS-331, USS Chivo SS-341 and the USS Trumpetfish SS-425. He also served aboard the USS Tangier AV-8 early in WWII.

The Animal Ark of Elkin is making efforts to prevent animals from going hungry during the holidays.
The Animal Ark Veterinary Hospital at 188 Claremont Drive in Elkin is currently sponsoring a holiday food drive for pets and will be donating the proceeds to a local rescue organization.
Members of the Animal Ark Veterinary Hospital say they are hoping to make a difference this holiday season by helping local families in need by collecting donations of dog, cat or bird feed.
"We know that with the economy it's really hard to feed pets sometimes and so its just nice that we can give back to the community any way we can. Dr. Richard L. Brinegar is a big advocate of helping, and we thought that during Christmas it would be really nice to have a collection for needy pets," said Roxanne Cann of the Animal Ark.
The Animal Ark will be accepting donations through December. The Animal Ark's donation box is located in the building's reception area.
Office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m to noon on Saturdays.
For more information, contact The Animal Ark Veterinary Hospital at 835-1082.

The cold weather looks like it is going to persist into late March or April according to the weather folks I pay attention to. Our new "worst friend" this winter, the Polar Vortex, is going to hang around and make March one of the colder ones in a long time.
I remember just a couple of years ago that many of the local farmers were planting corn by the end of March. At the rate it's going, the ground may not be thawed until May! I never thought I'd have to worry about what my heat bill would be in March!
St. Malachy
The 21st annual St. Malachy's fundraiser dinner and auction is this Saturday at the Supertel Inn. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased at the door or by calling 641-782-7125. It is always a nice evening and the money goes to a great cause — the school of course!
The Creston Volunteer Fire Department has its annual fundraiser on Saturday, March 8. The dance will be at Creston Eagles Club. The band will be Western Outlaws. The funds go to help pay for all the good things the local firefighters do during the year.
I went to visit my son in Lincoln last weekend. We took in the inaugural Baconfeast in Lincoln last Saturday. They had just about every kind of food you can think of with bacon in it, on it or around it.
I had chocolate chip cookies made with bacon grease. One of my long time friends was with me and I thought he was going to eat the whole plate of cookies. My favorite was the maple bacon jerky. There were so many different kinds of bacon concoctions you couldn't sample them all without having a tummy ache! My oldest son even tried the bacon vodka Bloody Mary — which he gave two thumbs up. There is nothing like a little bacon to make your day!
I see that McDonalds is bringing back the Mighty Wings. I read where they have more than 10 million pounds of the wings in storage since when they appeared last fall. They have a good spice to them if you like hot wings, but they may not be around for too long. So get them while they're hot!
A lot of the regular TV shows started again this week now that the Olympics are over. I can't say I watched much of the Olympics this time around. All the reality contests are back in full swing like The Amazing Race, Survivor and The Voice.
This Sunday night is when all the Oscars will be awarded. The favorites for winner of "Best Movie of the Year" is either "12 Years a Slave" or "Gravity." I've only seen two of the nine nominated movies. It's a sad thing to say, but I think they are making better TV programs nowadays than they are movies. I miss Billy Crystal being the MC. He always made the show fun.
The gas prices are starting to go up faster than you can fill up your car. Two weeks ago, I was paying $2.85 a gallon out of town and now it is up to $3.34 per gallon. It never did get under $3.11 here in Creston. I hear this is not the end and it may well continue up from where it is currently. They are blaming the price hike on the change over from winter to summer blend.
Thought for the week: "You got to be careful if you don't know where you are going, because you might not get there." Yogi Berra

Thank you ladies for your kind words,
longer. I will feel what I want to feel and not feel bad about telling others exactly how I feel. My due date is nov. 22nd. And iam going to california to get away. I feel better today, because I have accepted the fact that I lost my baby to pe. I did not lose her bc the universe does not want me to have a baby. The fact is that its just harder for some to have a baby. There is nothing wrong with me. I just have to go through more than others to have my baby. These are the cards that are dealt to me, and I have to accept it without looking for some deep meaning behind it. I have to believe that something better is waiting for me. Its that hope that gets me through the next day.

As a speech pathlogist, I feel like sometimes I know more than I should or other times I feel like I know nothing at all. The latter is how I usually feel when it pertains to looking at issues in my own children.
Bethany will be 4 weeks old on Tuesday (she was born at 34 weeks). She is doing well, eating about 50-70 cc of enfacare every 3 hours. looks like she is growing, have a weight check this week.
Neither one of my first 2 kids were too big on spitting up. Bethany does not spit up much during feedings, but frequently about 45 mins to an hour after the feeding, she will spit up. She did not do this when we were still in the NICU, or at least not that I ever observed. At first it was just slightly unsettling, because she would get it up her nose, etc and we would have to use the bulb suction to help her clear everything out so that she could breathe comfortably. Yesterday, I was actually in her bedroom with her, changing a diaper when this happened 2 different times. Having seen what happens to her little body, I developed a new level of concern. She rolls toward her right and lifts her chin as if trying to see something over her head. Her little arms jerk violently and then there is spit up coming out of her nose and mouth. It does not appear to be much, but it is enough hat she needs the bulb suctioning in order to help her clear it.
The stuff we are suctioning up, whether ogtten from her nose or mouth is white like her formula, but also stringy like mucous.
My husband is trying to figure out if this is just a premmie development thing. I just dont know what to think. anyone have any thoughts?

The famous Unpardonable sin
April 12, 2008, 01:21:16 PM »
Unpardonable doesn't mean unforgivable. It just means that it can't be passed over with a simple act of forgiveness because of how horrendous of a crime involved. If you've got a little kid that plays with a basketball in your house, inspite of your telling them not to, and they unwittingly break $100,000 worth of China, then you've got two options: take it out of their hide via the withholding of allowances and provisions until the debt is paid, or take it out of your own hide and simply go and buy $250,000 worth of China so that the memory of the new surpasses the grief over the lost old stuff that may have had sentimental value, heirloom qualities, etc. Forgiveness is EASY, but restitution is a different subject.
Another way of looking at it is that if you view the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit as being the attributing of the work of God to the work of Satan, then it would be like unforgiveness to where God couldn't forgive you WHILE you're still practicing this particular form of blasphemy. Other sins, even against one's own bodily temple, God can forgive and work with you and work with you and work with you to bring you past that to where through sanctifying grace you're weaned from that (Hebrews 5:11-14), but while you're still thinking that every time He's approaching you that it's the Devil at work, then how could the offense cease in God's Heart? If you're still equating Him with the mystery of iniquity, the father of lies, the murderer from the beginning, and accusing His works of being rooted in pride -- when He came to annul iniquity, pride, lies, the murderer, etc., then not only are you faithless and not allowing His Word to abide in you, but you're breaking down your own spirit which is your only way of conscious contact with Him. Proverbs says that perverseness and profanity plucks up, breaks down, overthrows, destroys, and brings disaster to your own spirit. James in his epistle warns against deceiving your own heart. If you ever start attributing the works of God to the works of the devil, then you're essentially fulfilling what the Devil was after in the beginning with exalting him above the stars of God, exalting his throne over New Jerusalem, etc. It's a viscious cycle of deception and self deception that religious people can get into because of their religion.
So, ultimately, consequently, and inevitably, you could say that religion is the one sin that can never be pardoned because it does all of these things.
Elhanan Winchester in his dialogues on the Universal Restoration staked everything with regards to this sin to the fact that the lake of fire judgment was the second death, and St. Paul taught that there would come a time [in distant ages] when death would be abolished -- when all corruption will have put on incorruption, according to Thomas Whittemore's Plain Guide to Universalism; when
all of the promises
of restoration [that yet remained to be fulfilled after all of the promises of damnation and destruction had been fulfilled] would
. All of the promises of destruction and of restoration have to be fulfilled, according to Calvinism Improved by Joseph Huntington. And if God's not happy with what He fishes out of the Lake of Fire in that day, in any particular instance, then He'll just throw it back in again and again and again -- however many times it takes, until His work on His pottery is accomplished, according to Charles Chauncy's book, Mystery Hid From Ages And Generations.

No mortal man can commit the unpardonable sin. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, God's working Power, and fool people that it is God doing it.Only the antichrist can do this by the power of the Dragon. The decieved will think he is Christ.
Revelation 13:11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

We'll soon see. Do you think YOU can blaspheme the Holy Spirit? You don't know what it takes to do that evil. What do you believe it is?? Cursing Him??

I had some thoughts on this topic the last couple weeks. In the scriptures on this topic, Jesus is talking to people who are under the law and not grace first of all. I think remembering this fact is very important to understanding what Jesus was talking about. Now why were these folks accusing Jesus of being of Satan? It was because they rejected Jesus. Their rejection was the root of the problem. It being caused by their religious traditions and blindness. I think Jesus is saying that when a person knows of Jesus, and rejects, and are consequently rebellious enough to blaspheme they are not going to receive forgiveness or salvation. NOT because God will not forgive them. But rather because THEY reject Jesus. People who are that hostile towards Christ are likely to never come to faith and forgiveness in this life. I think Jesus was speaking against rejection and ignorance of the Truth, because its these which prevent people from experiencing salvation, grace, or forgiveness. And when Jesus said this sin "has no forgiveness in the World to come" I think it means two things. First, it refers to rebellious people who died and still have not repented, so they do not experience forgiveness. UNTIL they come to a knowledge of the truth by God's grace. God is a God of the "until"! Somethings can seem set in stone, or unchangeable, or unforgivable, but only "until" God gets involved and fulfills his plan and purpose! And second, I think the statement is also prophetic and referring to some rebellion perhaps in the next World.
For all those who live in the shadow of death, a glorious light has dawned! And for all those who stumble in the darkness, behold, your light has come!!

Their is a third age, after the age to come. It is when Jesus hands over the kingdom to the Father after the 1000 year reign. Then again, it says Jesus is the consummation of ages, means the ages end in Him, and therefore nullifying the "this age and age to come" logic. :P

A bit off the subject, but is any sin really "atoneable". If we are expected to live sinless and perfect, and sin is straying from this, how does one atone? Can one be "more than perfect" to make up for shortcomings?
I dare say "NO". To that end, we can never "work" off our sins. We can only be pardoned. Our strayings are always forgiven by He who is all loving. There, I brought myself back on subject.....no sin is unpardonable.

How can the unpardonable or unforgivable sin be anything other than rejection of Jesus, which is what leads to blasphemy? Rejecting Jesus is what prevents a person from experiencing God's forgiveness.
It doesn't make sense that God would never forgive blasphemy when its committed by people who simply do not know the truth about Christ. That would be like punishing a blind man for being blind! The scriptures must mean that those who blaspheme will never be forgiven until they repent and accept Jesus.
It is religion which has taken what Jesus had to say on this topic and has made a big deal out of it. Misunderstanding what Jesus meant. Understanding what Jesus said in a way that contradicts other parts of the Gospel. Not the first time religion has done this though! Probably not the last either.

I've heard a lutheran friend say that the real unforgivable sin is not believing in forgiveness.
When you have the Holy Spirit, you have what it needs to be forgiven and, particularly, to be restored. Just continue to trust in forgiveness - but not in the human sense where you apologize and it's all good immediately, but in the christian sense which means that God wants to build you up in love so that you are restored and then will become so healthy that the same sin doesn't happen a second time.
My big problem was that I had started to fear the Holy Spirit. I felt, if it so easy that bad thoughts slip by, then I should stay away from the Holy Spirit lest I would blaspheme Him again and again. But that was utterly wrong. A christian must live in very close community with the Holy Spirit. He is to us what Jesus was to His disciples. A guide and a comforter. He also leads us into all truth as far as Jesus is concerned. I used to always want Jesus around, but it is by the Holy Spirit that Jesus is around. I love Jesus a lot, but I must learn to love the Holy Spirit.
What I rely on much is God's peace, patience and longsuffering. If you are a believer, it takes MUCH to make God really angry. God is way greater than our hearts.
It's quickening to experience the power of the Holy Spirit.
I have the gift of tongues, and in a bad time at the beginning of this year, I prayed much and one day noticed that I was always saying "dassela wodka". I suspected before that my tongue praying sounds like a russian dialect. I wondered what the words meant, until I realized that "wodka" means water. Jesus calls the Holy Spirit living water. And Spirit also means life. So I learned to trust both in the Holy Spirit, and in life. I pray much in tongues, and the sound of it always amazes me. It's so friendly, peaceful and loving.
It's like standing in a warm waterfall that I can enter whenever I want, I need but to trust in the Holy Spirit and pray in tongues.
So whoever fears this blasphemy, the resolution is to get closer and closer to the Holy Spirit. You must be a little courageous. God will NOT condemn you if a bad thought slips by, although you have to stand against that. Whenever you have bad thoughts, say loudly, "Those are evil thoughts!". Don't identify so much with your thoughts. That means, don't think too highly of yourself when you have splendid thoughts, and don't think too badly of yourself if you have an evil thought. Be like a kid and simply throw bad thoughts away without worrying. And never eat the trouble inside of yourself, talk about such matters quickly - the more quickly they are resolved. That is repentance like God wants it, and wherever there is repentance, there is forgiveness and quick healing following.
God bless!

My 2 cents on the unforgivable sin:
After Jesus rose, He appeared to his apostles, blew on them, and said that whatever they loosed (forgave) on earth was loosed (forgiven) in heaven. Whatever they bound on earth was bound in heaven.
We are told in several places that in the end those of us in Christ will judge the world.
When He blew on them, Christ was giving his followers the authority they would need to do that.
People think the "unforgivable sin" is one that cannot be forgiven, ever, in any way.
I believe it simply means that a sin against the Holy Spirit is the only one Christ's apostles (and other later members of the Body) do not have the authority or power to loose or bind through Christ's presence in us. In essence, it is "unforgivable" in that respect.
We will be able to loose or bind any sin by MAN against man. But only the Holy Spirit, who was the one grieved, has the power to forgive or bind a sin by man against Him, God's Spirit.

Jane Austen's witty comedy of manners, and one of the most beloved novels of all time, tells the story of the five Bennet daughters who are in need of suitable husbands. The arrival of the wealthy Mr. Bingley and his best friend Mr. Darcy stirs romantic thoughts among the sisters and the matrimonial matchmaking begins. Tensions mount between the young, spitfire Elizabeth and the arrogant Mr. Darcy, though he cannot escape a growing attraction to her rebellious behavior. A tangle of mistaken impressions and unexpected revelations keeps Austen's famous young couple apart until a major social error ironically allows Darcy to swallow his pride and Elizabeth to rethink her prejudice.
