Good survey. I myself used to wonder about the purpose of a stylus for any of the existing touch screen devices. The styli for capacitive screens seem to have larger tips compared to those for resistive screens and therefore make it a bit difficult to write. Drawing on the other hand seems to be quite OK with a stylus. In any case, I love using the finger as opposed to the stylus, but I must admit there are some instances like making a quick sketch where I wished I had a stylus. It is due to that reason that I opt for the conventional pen and paper to take down notes with illustrations during meetings for instance. Would be interesting to view the results.
State of the Mobile Nations survey: The point of the stylus
Steve Jobs put an end to the Newton project, in part because he hated the concept of using a stylus. The original Palm Pilot was a runaway hit -- in part because of the use of the stylus and its handwriting recognition. Now, Palm is dead and Apple is ginormous and Samsung is trying to bring the stylus back with the Galaxy Note line... So, who was right?
Just as the iPad is reaching the stratosphere in usage, the stylus is making a comeback.
We ran a quick poll and the initial results were intriguing enough we wanted to get a better sense of just what was going on across all platforms and all of our mobile communities. So here's a short survey. Does the stylus inhibit or amplify your touch screen experience? Let us know!

State of the Mobile Nations survey: The point of the stylus
When it was said that "if you see a stylus - you blew it", was this in reference to using it on phones rather than a tablet ?
This is my thinking as well... quite a bit of a difference when speaking about a 3.5" screen vs. a 9.7" one. I actually feel quite silly trying to write or draw with my fingers. It has its place and conveniences, but if I'm doing anything besides the requisite tapping, (which, admittedly, isn't TOO often) I prefer the added sense of control I get by using a stylus.
I bought a stylus be almost never use it. Its a thing that has out grown Apple devices I think.
I take a lot of notes on the job, and I have no desire to carry my iPad AND a paper notepad around with me to meetings and such. Nor do I care to struggle with the touch-screen keyboard to hammer out all my notes. So I use a stylus along with a note taking app to quickly jot down everything. To me that just feels like what the iPad was made for.
I use my stylus mostly for drawing/sketching, playing draw something….Rarely for actual writing because I do have a zaggfolio that my iPad lives in most of the time so the keyboard is always within reach.

Imagine several months from now, a bill filed in the U.S. Senate has made its way through the maze of Congress, and President Obama has signed into law a measure legalizing the cultivation of industrial hemp. However unlikely this scenario may be, it is not beyond the realm of possibility.
But even if by some stretch of the imagination industrial hemp does become legal in America, we're wondering exactly where Kentucky's place will be.
Up until the Civil War, according to Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner James Comer, Kentucky led the nation in hemp production, where fibers from the plant were used to make rope and other materials. In today's market, the U.S. remains the only developed country where cultivating hemp for industrial purposes is prohibited. Some states, however, have been pretty forward-looking when it comes to hemp, and to date several have approved legislation that would put into place some sort of regulatory framework allowing farmers to grow hemp in the event federal prohibitions are lifted, including California, North Dakota, and Oregon.
Kentucky is not one of those states, even after a bill with wide bi-partisan support sailed out of the Kentucky Senate earlier this year, only to be held up in the Democratically-controlled House.
There seems to be some thought among supporters of industrial hemp that its cultivation will become legal in the next few years at the latest. Commissioner Comer spoke to the Herald last year of his optimism, and said within a year he could see federal bans on hemp lifted.
The question is why exactly Kentucky's leaders would not want to be poised to capitalize on a potential new market, even if that market is as-of-yet unknown in the U.S.? It makes little sense to hold off on a bill to establish regulations, and wait until the federal government decides to join the 21st century.
It's a given that, considering concerns from law enforcement agencies, fields of hemp could be used to mask its botanical cousin, marijuana, so Kentucky won't allow farmers to grow industrial hemp unless some sort of framework is place to prevent this. So, what happens when the federal government lifts its ban, and Kentucky is forced to play catch-up with states that were willing to plan ahead? Should Kentucky farmers have to wait to begin growing hemp, or should they be able to hit the ground running?
Certainly, our farmers shouldn't have to wait if they decide growing hemp is good for them. Sadly, despite an amendment from House Majority Leader Rocky Adkins that could bring Kentucky's hemp bill to a vote before the full House, Kentucky seems to be heading down a hempless path.
Mark Twain once said when the world ends, he wanted to be in Kentucky because Kentucky was always 20 years behind. Mark Twain died in 1910, and over 100 years later this quote seems to ring true. Let's prove Mr. Twain wrong, and be out in front for once.

Yeah, so we made more than one of these. Brought to you by Draught House!
This episode is all about dads, and beer. It gets a little bit personal, a little bit awkward, a little bit boring, and also a little bit genius.
Our own Shawn Phillips had recently had his first son and as he was home trying to get that kid to sleep and stop crying, we were out drinking and telling dad stories and dedicating it all to Shawn and his kiddo, Archer.
Also, the back door shenanigans are turned up a notched. If you recall from the first episode, the "Back Door" title comes from the fact we are sitting at the table under the stairs at DRAUGHT HOUSE! beside the backdoor. As the night progresses, we become even more bold in our dickness towards unaware patrons attempting to enter the exit only door. ("You got to ring the bell")
We also discuss Bryan Gutmann's history with podcasting and drinking, Boston's love of Shiner Bock, the exotic qualities of Dos Equis and lime, Aaron's dad being Scarface, Family Christmas beer stories, our online friendship origins, and the difference between skanking and sketching.
Yeah, all quality stuff totally worth 17 minutes of your life. If not for the content, tune in to check out our new podcast intro/outro tunes. Or at least it'll help kill that last 15 minutes after you are done working for the day, but before you can leave your job.

text: Organizational Excellence Create Organizational Excellence in Resource Stewardship and Professional Practices throughout the College Le Moyne's ability to realize its vision depends upon our success as a high-performing organization and an employer of choice. To achieve nationally recognized, sustainable excellence, we must align strategic planning, financial planning and operational practices and policies with mission, vision and core values. We will continue to incorporate transparent, verifiable assessment data across decision-making practices. We will promote pride and unity across campus, linking our efforts specifically with the Jesuit ideals of cura personalis and the magis. STRATEGIC INITIATIVE 3:1 Create an Organizational Excellence Strategy Team (OEST) to focus on Core Values, Employer of Choice and Le Moyne Pride: Under the authority of the President's Cabinet, this strategy team will promote three pillars of organizational excellence. TACTICS Core Values: Together with the Director of Mission and Identity, develop a clear and concise statement of our Catholic and Jesuit core values; promote a shared understanding of and appreciation for these values. Employer of Choice: Establish a professional work environment that attracts, rewards, develops and retains top talent. A. Provide strategically relevant and mission-aligned professional development opportunities in order to foster management and leadership skills, a culture of trust, active listening, diversity and inclusion, empowerment and accountability, teamwork and a sense of community. B. Assess and improve the professional work culture and recognition practices so that Le Moyne employees receive meaningful affirmation for achievements. Le Moyne Pride: Hire for mission and foster "Le Moyne Pride" across the campus community. In the spirit of the magis, "Le Moyne Pride" expresses the high level of commitment that College employees have to the service of the College's mission. A. Clarify College goals and how these goals relate to the work of each person and department. Develop sustainable processes by which all departments and individuals gain an appreciation of the roles of all other departments. B. Develop sustainable human resource practices to hire for mission, offer competitive compensation, and support professional and personal development for faculty and staff. C. Promote cross-campus engagement in College events and activities. D. Continue to promote transparency, open and honest community dialogue, and stakeholder input regarding strategic decisions about the College. STRATEGIC INITIATIVE 3:2 Develop a basic set of procedures and guidelines for continuous improvement that can be adapted College-wide, and that evaluates the alignment of resources and existing and proposed programs with Le Moyne's mission, vision and core values. TACTICS A. Develop the framework and guidelines for a College-wide assessment process along with a three-year implementation plan in order to assess and improve policies and procedures, technology systems and skills, and human resources/talents in alignment with the forecasted needs of Le Moyne's strategic plan. B. Require each unit to engage key stakeholders in order to understand their needs and preferences (e.g., town hall listening sessions, facilitated brainstorming sessions, survey instruments, etc.). Use stakeholder-focused criteria to identify opportunities for improved service. C. Require units to review organizational charts and resource allocations in alignment with the College's vision and strategic plan; identify critical gaps and areas for improvement and reallocation; develop tactical plans and recommendations to realign strategically as needed. D. Enhance strategic focus on the use of technology systems and applications in support of academic, student development and administrative priorities. STRATEGIC INITIATIVE 3:3 Le Moyne will continuously enhance its stewardship of all resources, including personnel, financial and capital, and natural. The College will also improve its practices of enterprise risk management, while pursuing innovative opportunities to expand revenues (e.g., by increasing net tuition revenues and expanding activities in new academic programs, pedagogical delivery, grant support and fundraising). The College will develop a comprehensive enrollment strategy to establish ideal enrollment size, student discount and yield management strategy, and student body characteristics. The College will develop and implement a comprehensive affordable seven- to 10-year facilities master plan in direct support of the OneLeMoyne Strategic Plan. This plan will incorporate a range of possible financing strategies and will inform our plans for future fundraising campaigns. TACTICS A. Complete the implementation of the facilities projects approved in 2010 (Round I Projects), including the new science building and pending renovations to Grewen Hall, classrooms, site work and HVAC systems. B. Sustain the assertive renewal of facilities and implementation of the deferred maintenance strategy. The College will follow a process that ensures stakeholder input on facilities projects to be implemented in 2012 through 2015 (Round II Projects) and then 2016 through 2019 (Round III Projects). C. Develop a comprehensive real estate strategy to support L.I.F.T. (Le Moyne Initiatives for a Future Together), a student housing strategy and the OneLeMoyne Strategic Plan. The College will explore alternative financing strategies and strategic private and public partnerships to fund some of these projects. D. Facilities Planning and Management operations will strive for ever-greater standards of care for the buildings and grounds and continue to serve as a regional leader in environmentally sustainable practices. E. Continue the development of a holistic College-wide approach to sustainability including, but not limited to, strategic reductions of the College's carbon footprint; education of students, faculty and staff; and continuous improvement of related policies such as recycling and procurement. F. Determine the optimal characteristics of the undergraduate and graduate student populations, as well as the optimal mix of graduate-level and certificate programs. G. Expand upon existing "dashboard" systems in order to establish a full range of key operating metrics, ratios and key performance indicators to guide the College's resource allocation decisions (e.g., proportion of revenues to be dedicated to employee total compensation, academic and non-academic programs, student scholarships, and several financial ratios including a composite financial index). STRATEGIC INITIATIVE 3:4 Resource Enhancement We will increase funding from sources beyond that of our primary revenue streams of tuition, room and board. TACTICS A. Operating Margin: Establish a specific percentage goal to increase our annual operating surplus over the next five years, in order to increase total resources and liquidity. B. Endowment Performance: Achieve long-term growth of the Le Moyne College Endowment Fund through donor gifts and real appreciation. The objective for real appreciation is to earn a rate of return on each class of assets to equal or exceed the market rate of return, as reflected by the appropriate benchmark, while maintaining a prudent annual endowment spending level. C. Annual Giving and Annual Fund: Set and monitor goals for annual giving and alumni participation rates in order to place the College, over the next five years, in the top quartile of AAUP Masters IIA schools of similar size. D. Major Gifts and Planning for the Next Campaign: Continue to cultivate potential donors and solicit major gifts in preparation for future fundraising campaigns. Establish a target date for the silent phase of the next campaign by the summer of 2013, working with the Board of Trustees and senior administration. E. Government and Foundation Support: Develop a plan, to be approved and monitored by the Institutional Advancement Committee of the Board of Trustees, for strategic engagement with foundations while continuing to pursue sources of government support at all levels.

I travel with all 3 volumes of Shady Lady. I purchased mine through theBalm site when they had the 3 for 1. My favorite shade in this is Bossy Bobbi, it's a shimmery very pigmented teal blue, although I don't wear this shade a lot. I like to stick with neutrals and the combination of Mischevious Marissa (copper) & Devilish Danielle (peach) look amazing for everyday wear. I love the large mirror in the compact/palette.
theBalm Shady Lady Vol. 2 Eyeshadow Palette ($39.50 for 0.60 oz.) was released last year but is still available at many major retailers. After reviewing Shady Lady Vol. 3, which is new for this year, I thought I'd better snag last year's while I could. The nine eyeshadow shades included in this palette are: Caught in the Act Courtney (shimmering rich brown), Feisty Felicia (midnight black shimmer), Insane Jane (shimmery taupe), Bossy Bobbi (shimmering peacock blue), Makeout Mary (moss green shimmer), Just This Once Jamie (silvery lilac shimmer), Mischievous Marissa (luxurious champagne gold), Tempting Tara (shimmering sugar), and Devilish Danielle (golden peach shimmer).

The purpose of this protocol is to determine whether pain with sexual intercourse can be reduced in menopausal, breast cancer survivors and to evaluate the effectiveness of a non-hormonal therapy (Lidocaine Liquid) vs. a placebo liquid in reducing pain.
The investigators hypothesize that the pain arises in the vulvar vestibule. The investigators predict that the localized use of lidocaine will be more efficacious than use of placebo liquid.

|Placebo Comparator: Topical Saline
Drug: Topical liquid lidocaine
Comparison of topical liquid lidocaine to placebo on application to the vulvar vestibule
Detailed Description:
For this study there will be three visits over a 3 month period. Subjects will undergo a gynecological exam at the screening visit to determine the severity of pain associated with uncomfortable intercourse. A touch test using Q-tips will be used during screening exam so subjects can report pain during application of both study drug and placebo. Subjects will also report pain during tampon test. A sample of vaginal cells and liquid will be obtained at screening visit so that PI can rule out possible infection, disease, or disorders. PI will also show subject the area of the vestibule in a mirror so that subject can apply study drug at home properly. Subjects will fill out 4 questionnaires about medical and health history, cancer history, pain, and distress and sexual activity. Subject will be given a supply of either study drug or placebo to take home. The first visit will last approximately 2 hours.
Subjects will return for a second visit after 4 weeks and a third visit after 8 weeks for diary review, questionnaires, and examination. The second and third visit examinations will be repeats of the examination done at the first visit, but there will be no comparison with placebo, the PI will use only study drug during the touch test. The second and third visits will last approximately 1 hour.
Subjects will fill out questionnaires throughout study participation. Topics include; medical and health history, cancer history, pain, distress and sexual activity. Subjects will also fill out a diary that charts tampon test completed from home, sexual activity performed, pain levels and study drug application days.

Overboard vs Aquapac in iPhone 4 water torture test - Amazing Case [give away]
If you had to trust a water-proof case to protect your precious iPhone 4 during a torture test, which would it be -- the Overboard or the Aquapac? That's the challenge they gave me for the latest episode of TiPb's Amazing Case, our hardcore, case vs case tests of strength, durability, and performance.
We figure if either -- or both -- of these water cases could survive being thrown into the deep end and taken through the high-pressure car wash then they can survive a dip in the tub or day at the beach.
Follow on after the jump for the details, and the give-away!
Aquapac vs Overboard
Truth be told these two cases are very similar. Both are clear plastic that retains the capacitive touch so you can keep using your iPhones while they're inside. (At least when you're out of the water -- no capacitive touch can work when you're under water). This means you can still make calls, record video, check the web, etc. with ease.
The Overboard has a black outer lining that does conceal part of the iPhone which I found kind of annoying. The Aquapac is clear all the way around allowing you to be able to see the whole screen of the iPhone and use the camera without having to worry about the view being obstructed.
Both the Overboard and the Aquapac have hard plastic seals that close tightly and securely. They do allow a small amount of water to get caught in the closure though, so you need to open the cases with caution or you risk dripping water on your iPhones. And yes, both cases are equally hard to get iPhones into and out of.
Lanyards are included with both the Overboard and the Aquapac so you can hold onto them or tie them to something to make sure you don't lose them in the water.
It should be mentioned that the Aquapac has a three year warranty which covers the phone if damaged in proper use (would a carwash count?). The overboard has a 1 year warranty but this does not cover the phone. Thanks Andy!
Fight! (and give-away)
So which water proof case was the most protective? No spoilers! You have to watch the video above for the results of our Overboard vs Aquapac ultimate iPad scratch test.
When you're done leave me a reply in the comments below and tell me which one you'd rather have protecting your iPhone 4 -- Overboard or Aquapac -- and where exactly you want to take you iPhone 4 that it needs water protection.
We have a one of each to give away, so make sure you leave a valid email address so we can contact you if you win. (US mailing address required for delivery).
Ready? Fight!

Overboard vs Aquapac in iPhone 4 water torture test - Amazing Case [give away]
So it's a tie? They are both probably better than what I do which is wrap it in cling wrap with a bit of silica gel.
It would be nice if you showed a bit more of the video and picture quality. It seemed from the car wash video that the first one had better picture quality through the plastic.
More objective picture tests would have been nice.
OMG! I would of been so nervous! I am a lifeguard and I have to walk around the pool and this would be very handy to have so I can protect it in case I have too jump in the pool. I love listening to my music on my iPhone 4!
I want the overboard case! Forgot too add it to my previous post. Sorry Georgia!
I'd have to say the Overboard. Looks a lot nicer and probably feels better in the hand.
I do love to go surfing and having the overboard waterproof case would be epic. Imagine, mounting the iPhone to the end of the board and catching in wave footage! Why would I rather have overboard? It has a minimalistic design and no horrible blue edges. Just nice and black.
Overboard, for me. To protect it in case my children decide to take a bath with it.
I'm drowning!! Please help!
I would have to say the Overboard looks nicer, but this comment concerns me, "The Overboard has a black outer lining that does conceal part of the iPhone which I found kind of annoying". What exactly is concealed? Is it screen area? Any of the camera?
Looks like most people are interested in style, which the Aquapac doesn't look like it has much of. Another feature that would be nice to see is a small, permanent air chamber that would help the bag float.
I would like the Overboard so when I'm in my pool I don't have to create a towel fort under a chair with an umbrella over top.
Ok, so they are equal, but what about the price? Are they equal? Different colors? A way to attach it to say, a cooler?
I would use the Aquapac at the beach. That would make great videos.
Like the looks of overboard better
Would luv aqua pac I recently bought annual pass to aquatica sea world water park and this would be great to used in the park and take pic and video plus would be awesome to be able to go to sea world too and take pic and video of shamu with out worrying about the phone
I live in Florida which it means that I'm surrender by water, when. I'm not in the pool I'm in the water parks or in sea world or universal studio and they have amazing water ride and I always worry about my Iphone 4 would be great if I win the aquapad
Another Floridian here, with a swimming pool, on a saltwater canal at the coast and also like to SCUBA dive! And since it's summer we have a moat at the end of our drive and the street is currently a river. :)
Actually I would probably use something like this the most at the beach videoing and photographing our dog catching frisbees and learning to swim...
So I vote for the Aquapac!
Overboard for me, I prefer their styling over the aquapac!
My wife is 5mo pregnant with our first doughter and one of her favorite places to relax is at the pool. So I'd love to be able to keep her phone safe , lol :)
Thank goodness.. no Rene in a Speedo ;-)
Aquapak! For the tub! Ahhhh nothing like relaxing in the tub while reading and playing with my phone!
I like both but the best part of the review is the lovely georgia. Can you do all of them in the pool?? Haha
Overboard for my up and coming fishing trip to FL! Let's just hope we don't need it! =\. Thanks tipb!
I'd have to go with Overboard. I know video claims a tie but it just looks like its more sturdy for the long haul. I would use it for pool time with my 3 yr old daughter who LOVES being in the water!!!
All things being equal in the test, the aquapac appears to allow less constrictive movement as well as an unobscured view while stored. Having lost three iphones to the sea as an offshore fishing captain, once from falling overboard, once from being pushed off a dock, and once from it falling out of my front shirt pocket while pulling a fish over the gunnel, I am long overdue for a case of this type. My vote goes to Aquapac.
I love the aquapac! I'm at the lake every weekend on my seadoo and must have my iPhone with me in case of emergency! I worry that no matter how careful I am my phone is going to get wet, there's not a dry place to keep it! I could really use the case every weekend to keep my iPhone 4 safe!
I would have to def. Go with the aquapac....I've been looking into getting a waterproof case for my iPhone 4 for a while now. I spend a Ton of time in the water surfing and diving as well as going to the local water parks and it would be awesome to be able to record video while swimming with sealife!!! I def. Wanna win one!!
I would love the aqua pack. Would work great for when I am out hiking or fishing.
Aquapack,is my choice, its hurricane season down here in florida, and its always raining here in jacksonville,with this case i can rest assured and know my iphone 4 wont get damage or wet when im working in these wet conditions,Aquapack you're my superhero for my iphone 4, come protect it !!!!
Aquapack! Great for when I go fishing
I am a big canoer/ kayaker and the grey would be more noticeable/ easier to find if it tried to visit Davy Jones locker. Also, it would draw less attention from prying eyes at the beach, lake, etc. They are pretty much the same, but Aquapac would be my choice and the materials look to be tougher Thanks for the review.
I'll go with Aquapac, I've owned them for years without a hitch (knock on wood). I figure I could always enjoy a spare that I can stash in my car in case of an unsuspected downpour.
I like the aquapak better. It has a little more of a minimallist design, and it doesnt have the black all over it, allowing more sight of the sexy iPhone. I would like to use the case to take better pictures of underwater pics during my wife and I's next trip to Mexico. When we went in May, we took a walk under the ocean and we were able to see and pet stingrays. The opportunity to catch great pictures and HD video of that would be awesome.
Aquapak looks like a better case.
I like the aquapac! I'm going on a 7-day cruise to Mexico soon and will be doing a tons of swimming and snorkeling. A water-proof case should help me capture some great underwater pictures and video.
I vote for the Aquatec, who would want to cover their iPhone?
Overboard looks better IMO. Also, it's German, for "Whales vagina"
I have to say, Georgia has some big B@lls to do a test like that. No way i am putting my iphone in the pool or driving in through the car wash like that. I have to say though, my daughter drooped her ipod touch in the pool once. I opened it up and left it in the sun for 3 days to let it dry out and put it together and it works. I love Apple stuff.
Thanks for the reply, Georgia. (I hope this doesn't disqualify me, as I am leaving a second comment since the first was just to ask a question and there does not appear to be a way to edit my comment...)
Since it is a tie, I think I would have to go with the Aquapac because I looked at the big pictures in the TiPb store and it does look like the Overboard does indeed obscure some of the front of the phone. As for where I would take it? Into the shower to watch morning podcasts or listen to music as well as in the pool.
Overboard looks great!
Like the video says it's a tie! I'd like to have either! But the overboard does look more sturdy!
I really like the overboard. Im going to Hawaii in a month so I would be nice to have something like that for under water video. BTW more Georgia would be great :)
Definitely the Overboard. Would be quite useful for taking videos while rafting :)
I died laughing when I first saw u were taking it through a car wash. I'd take the overboard. Looks like a much better build.
I'd take the Aquapac personally if I had the choice. And as I've already destroyed a camera by taking it into the pool accidentally, I think this would be perfect for me.
I'm liking the overboard, and I live in New Orleans...so I need it to go outside.
Overboard cause I'm always at the pool with my kids. Plus a take it on the boat at the lake (people love hooking into my wifi). Not to mention all the football games this fall. I'm sure there will be rain at one or two.
Aquapac! Yippee!
I'd use it at the beach and surfing.
I'd love to take the aquapac into the shower.
I'd go with the Aquapac because it is all clear. This is very handy for us motorcycle riders who get caught in the rain...
This has to be the best test video ever! Great job, great review!
I'd choose the Aquapac for my wife...
Wednesday she rolled down the car window and showed me her dripping wet iPhone she had placed in the cup holder, only to realize there was a clear punch cup with water vying for the same real estate.
Hopefully I wont be out another $199 with the help of either of these two cases.
Other than the black border they seem the same so I would choose the Aquapac for the completely clear plastic. I need a waterproof case for when I travel to Japan to see the underwater "pyramids."
Aquapack! I could really use one because I'm frequently wakeskating, wakeboarding, wake surfing, and air chairing. I am also swimming and if by the beach or pool alot. It would be really nice not having to worry about my phone getting wet while on the boat because we like to use my phone to film us doing tricks. Also we use my phone to film skiing and it would save slot of worry there as well! Thanks!
Yee haw! A great review to help decide which for me... and it's the Aquapac! I should really get one because the only reason I have my new iPhone4 was getting caught in a rainstorm hiking with my 3GS. This would be the perfect compliment to justify since I already take the thing everywhere, including pools, amusement park water rides especially! Good stuff guys & gals
Aquapack looks like it is easier to see and use being it's all clear. But both did the job.
I would choose the Aquapack because the main reason I'd use my iPhone underwater is to take pictures - and you said that one can be better because the view of the screen is not obstructed. Whatever makes it better to take pictures wins, so that's Aquapack! I hope I win too! (I'd probably use the Aquapack to go snorkeling...would it work with that? Hmmm....I wonder if the iPhone flash could be used underwater to see the fish!?) Thanks for the contests!
I'd use the Overboard to take pics/movies of my soon-to-be 1 yr old daughter. She loves my aunt's pool!
Aquapac for the win! Is use it for shooting storm/lightning footage like there was nothing to it! No more standing behind a window indoors!
Overboard wins it for me. Looks like a better case. Heading for the pool next week would be a nice addition.
I'll take the aquapac!!
Both functional - but I like Overboard a teeny bit better: it looks like even though there is black, the plastic is a bit clearer.
I'd take it skiing and hiking - never know when you'll be getting wet.
I'd go with the Aquapac. & I'll be using it to take some great playing-in-the-sprinkler photos.
They both look good but like the Aquapac - anyone know if you can get them in the UK?
Will this competition including international members I know most don't (unlike my old favorite Crackberry.com)
I would have to choose the aquapac as it would be a great addition for taking videos of the waves and surfers near the water
Great review. You are much braver than most running their devices through the carwash :)
Nine comments and no one brings up a sexy woman in a bikini?? I'll go there....
To hell with the cases, owwwwwwww!!! Wolf call!!
I aquadpac I will be a life guard teaching little kids how to swim and i dont want my iphone to slip in and im out of luck.
I would want the Overboard because it has a nice black look to it and it's got the nice closing mechanism. I would use it in many different situations, such as going to the beach and being able to use my iPhone on the sand and in the water. I can also freely take pictures and videos at the beach and in the sea without being afraid of the water. Another situation where I might use it is at the water-park. Everyone loves to take photos and videos at water parks, but at the same time extremely afraid their electronic devices might get wet. This case would absolutely solve my problem!
Can they build a water proof case that doesn't look like a plastic baggy you carry around to pickup dog poo?
PS, the photo for this article is my new Lock Screen
You should give one away to someone that uploaded wallpaper to that contest. :P
I would like the Overboard. They both seem nice. I would find it useful next time I'm on a Carribean cruise or on a 3 day backpacking trip. It'd be nice not to worry about my phone getting wet and not having to resort to a ziplock snack bag, like I usually do (although those are a nice solution if you have no other alternative).
I would choose the Aquapack since they have a three year warranty. I run offshore power boats, and a phone could be the posible lifeline in the unlikely event of a rollover. Currently I double bag in Ziplock bags. I have lost phones to the water, by either me falling in or the phone falling out of it's pouch. I was the first to loose a Motorola 8000s in 1986 according to the Motorola sales rep. That phone cost me $2972 back then.
Being an avid kayaker, Waterproofing for almost anything taken along is a must. If I were to have an AquaPac, it would make life so much easier, not having to worry about losing all control of my precious iPhone 4 on the rolling waves of Lake Superior, would be a asigne lifted from a mans shoulders! Cheers!
The Aquapac would be my choice. The fact that it has a 3 year warranty and that the case is clear all the way around makes it top the Overboard. Would be great to have for any water scenario. I don't like taking my iphone 4 anywhere where there is a body of water. A must have for when I'm at the pool, beach, or lake. It would be nice not worrying about my phone going overboard.
Love the Aquapac! Used on my minivacation in August to South Padre Island!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L8ogPxw-U&feature=youtubegdata_player
since both Aquapack and Overboard performed well on the pool and carwash test, I would go by looks..and I prefer the look of the overboard case. I would put my iphone in it to protect it from water when I am kayaking on the bay...and good to know if I tip over my phone will still be protected.
I prefer the aquapak...I am out on the boat every weekend here in beautiful Key Largo FL...want to be able to safely snap all of the lobsters we bring up, all of the fish that we catch, my hunky honey as he gets back in the boat...all without worry of hurting my phone.
I would have to go with the Aquapac since it is clear all around. I would use it when I am surfing so when i get surrounded by sharks i can call someone to help me. I surf in trestles right where there where two great white sharks spotted. here a video f the sharks in the area http://vimeo.com/14054518
I an real inpress with the AQUAPAC, I do alot of fishing and I all most had my Iphone 4 in the drink
i would prefer the aquapac! so i can take it to the base of Niagara Falls!!!
Aquapac would be my choice.
I already own the Aquapac. I purchased it earlier this year after doing some research first. When you are out in the Hudson River in a kayak and need to check the time or use your phone in an emergency, owning the Aquapac seemed like the reasonable and likely choice to house my iPhone and camera!
I'm in love........and it's not with the Aqua Pac.
I'd certainly keep them that my car to have it handy wherever i go wether it is for surfing, going to the water park (water slides, wave pool), wakeboarding, snowboarding (that snow getting inside a pocket will melt and could really well mess my phone! I bet that would make my GoPro Hd Hero (wearable camera for xtreme sports) jealous, but I could use them both to get different angles while filming.
I'd pick the overboard because of the look.
Aquapac all the way for my snorkerling adventures :-)
After owning an old-school aquapac to protect my old PocketPC, an aquapac for an iPhone 4 would be just the thing to keep my latest navigation tool clean and dry. The old one has spent 5 years traversing Australia's deserts, rainforests and harsh Cape York, without wearing out or through, keeping the our insiduous red dust and tropical rainforest humidity away from my device. The Picasa album on my website shows some of the places an aquapac 4 iphone is likely to visit if left in my care...
You really should change hosting companies. Your blog seems to be down about half the time I go there.
After getting my iPhone 4 wet and replacing it I ordered both the Otterbox Defender for extra protection and the Aquapac. I wish the Aquapac was a little larger so I could place the phone in the Otterbox in the Aquapac for ultimate protection. I prefer the Aquapac. Thanks.
I wonder how an Otterbox equipped iPhone would fit inside these cases?
very outstanding, ive also found http://www.kidderminsterconfusedcomputers.co.uk/ a usefull source of information like this!
Check out the larger Aquapac case "Small Whanganui Electronics Case (348)", if you use the Otterbox Defender.
See http://www.aquapac.net/worldstore/water-electronics-small-873-0.html
I think I am going for the Aquapac too. 1 for iPhone, 1 for iPad. The OverBoard iPad case is substantially dearer...
like to see a review of the iPad waterproof cases?
I have the overboard and it's amazing. Going fishing in open water. You have no warry talking on you phone through the case in ocean spray. You can text and use all the features on the phone through the case. Only one side of the case is part blacked out for the back.
Thanks for your own effort on this website. Ellie takes pleasure in participating in internet research and it's easy to see why. We all learn all of the compelling form you create vital strategies via this website and as well as welcome participation from website visitors on that topic and my girl is truly being taught a great deal. Have fun with the remaining portion of the new year. You have been carrying out a tremendous job.
I am getting started with a new adventure hobby... sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, off shore in South Florida, in a small Trimaran Sailboat (Windrider 16). I want to bring my iPhone 4S with me on my adventures but don't want it to get ruined ! I want to have my music and GPS apps available while sailing, but am concerned that if I take it with me I would be risking it to the great Atlantic ! Can you help me? Sure would appreciate it !!! Thanks, Ken
What a stuff of un-ambiguity and preserveness of valuable experience concerning unexpected emotions.
I do enjoy the way you have framed this matter plus it does supply me some fodder for consideration. On the other hand, coming from everything that I have personally seen, I just wish as other opinions pack on that men and women keep on point and in no way embark on a soap box of some other news of the day. All the same, thank you for this fantastic point and while I do not necessarily agree with it in totality, I respect your viewpoint.
Hello, Neat post. There is a problem along with your website in web explorer, might test this? IE nonetheless is the market chief and a large element of folks will miss your excellent writing due to this problem.

LOGAN – This is the Seventh Annual Matt Patterson Memorial Toy Drive, which is held each year in honor of the late Matt Patterson.
Matt would help his mother distribute toys to children on his Christmas vacation from school. His mother continues to distribute toys in Matt's memory.
"This started seven years ago at the cemetery. I had the thought to not let die his helping the kids. He always said this was the best part of Christmas," said his mother.
Matt, son of Herman Patterson and Candy Patterson-Brewer, passed away in July of 2005. He is survived by one sister, Emily, and grandparents Herman and Johnnie Patterson. He was also the grandson of the late Alberta and Everett "Shorty" Evans.
"I lost my mother Alberta Evans and my brother Harold Lee Evans this year. They passed away exactly three months to the day apart. We are focusing on having more bikes for children this year in honor of my brother, who always donated a bike even before we started the toy drive," said Candy.
Drop off points for toys are the LEASA office behind McDonald's in Logan; Giovanni's in Logan; Fast Change Lube beside McDonald's at the Wal-Mart Plaza, Logan Bank and Trust at Fountain Place and Thornhill Superstore at Chapmanville. Candy says Thornhill's has a truck in their showroom they are trying to fill.
Candy says there are many more people, churches and other organizations getting involved this year.
"My heart is just so thankful for all the people who have helped me. Whatever the need has been, people have been there to fill it," she continued, "With so many more people getting involved, the toy drive just keeps growing and getting better every year.Despite the way the economy has been, this may be the best toy drive we have had yet. Having more things means we can help more people. We make sure that all the children whose names are submitted to us will be taken care of."
Anyone wanting to make a donation can leave toys at any of the above-mentioned drop off points until Dec. 18, or they can call Candy at 752-9609. The Matt Patterson Memorial Toy Drive is a non-profit organization and monetary donations will be accepted. Please feel free to call for more information.
All donations benefit children in Logan County.

One of the most hated words in the English language must surely be cellulite. For the 90 percent of women who are plagued by the "cottage cheese" dimples that can run across the backs of arms and the entire lower body, it can seem like the ugliest thing in the world. Sure, you can hide it beneath clothing, but once bikini season hits, it's all over. From a self-consciousness point of view, it's as if you're back in middle school. You might as well make it a trifecta of humiliation by slapping on some braces and a lime-green prom dress. While there's no way yet to completely rid your body of cellulite, there are a few ways to help improve its appearance.
The term cellulite refers to the dimpled appearance of skin that can occur at any point on the body where the skin is thinner. Under the upper layer of skin, there's a layer of connective tissue that holds fat into place. In most women (and some men), this connective tissue has gaps in it, which allow the fat to push through, creating a bumpy appearance. The difference between fat and cellulite is simply where the deposit lies in relation to these gaps in the connective tissue. That, and the fact that even with weight loss and muscle gain, so-called "normal" fat may disappear, while cellulite seems to want to continue keeping your thighs company indefinitely.
Cellulite can occur in the thinnest of women and men (sorry, guys) and doesn't seem to discriminate based on nationality, financial standing, age, or weight. There are believed to be hormonal and hereditary issues that can contribute to causing cellulite. Other causes may include poor circulation, lack of exercise, and even too-tightly fitting undergarments. But no one really knows for sure why 10 percent of the female population is gifted with not having to deal with cellulite, while the rest of us have rear ends that look like a giant golf ball.
So when faced with the appearance of orange peel on your thighs, what should you do? Well, there's good and bad news. The bad news is that there is no actual way, surgical or otherwise, to get rid of cellulite completely at present. No amount of vacuuming, injections, creams, or painful massage will eradicate it permanently. But there are many things that can potentially improve the appearance of cellulite. The following is a list of options, ranked from the least to most invasive and/or expensive.
Remember, while many of these approaches can improve the appearance of cellulite, none seem to remove cellulite completely or permanently. Until a method is found that will accomplish the total eradication of cellulite, it might be better to spend less money on expensive creams and injections and more on nutritious foods and activities that support a healthy lifestyle. Not only will this help to improve your skin tone, but it'll make you feel better about your whole body, inside and out. And isn't that more important than a few extra dimples?

Filed Under (Toyota) by admin on 09-05-2011
Introduction Some 2010 Prius vehicles may experience rear brake squeak when backing up or moving forward during the ?rst few brake applications when the brakes are cold. An updated rear brake shim kit is available to reduce the likelihood of this condition occurring. Repair Procedure 1. Test drive the vehicle to con?rm the squeak is coming from the rear brakes. The condition occurs more frequently when backing up during light brake pedal application after cold soak. 2. Remove rear brake shims. Refer to the Technical Information System (TIS) 2010 Prius Repair Manual: Brake – Brake (Rear) Brake: Rear Brake: Removal 3. Clean the rear brake pad backing plates with a clean shop towel and apply a small amount of black disc brake grease to the backing plate of each rear brake pad. NOTE Make sure disc brake grease is not applied to the lining of the rear brake pads. 4. Install the No. 1 Anti-squeal shims. Install the No. 2 Anti-squeal shims. Figure 3. 5. Using the Variable Pin Wrench (SST 09960-10010), slowly rotate the caliper piston until the piston groove is positioned as shown in the illustration below. 6. Install new rear brake anti-squeal shims with brake pads into the rear caliper assemblies brackets. Refer to (TIS), 2010 Prius Repair Manual: Brake – Brake (Rear) Brake: Rear Brake: Installation NOTE • When installing the rear disc brake caliper assembly on the rear disc brake caliper mounting bracket, ensure the protrusion on the brake pad is centered in the caliper piston groove. • It is important to ensure the protrusion is not contacting the outer edges of the caliper piston groove. (both sides) 7. Road test the vehicle to con?rm the condition has been reduced.

I've run into the same problem, when trying to access the digimag through the site, there's no button under 'Read Current Issue'
The Launch button should show up on that page, not necessarily as a menu item under Read Current Issue. Is that what you're talking about?
I understand that, but was bad at explaining my problem. There's no button on the page itself, just the pic of the latest cover with the issue info and "Read the current issue of our magazine in digital form." in text.
a wild launch button appeared! i assume you had something to do with that, so thank you sir
Yes. I had to "re synch" your account info with our digimag server. Sorry for the inconvenience.
i recently renew my subscription and made it digital i am triying for a week now and i don't see the LAUNCH BOTTON on the website. i made the account as it was before to see my magazines. plz i need help with this. appreciate any help
I am also having this problem...
Same, i can access the magazine from an email link but when i cannot find any way to go from the website. no launch button or anything.
I am also having the same problem.
Ya'll should be good to go now.
Yep, that did it, thanks soo much

Syncing to Cloud Files with fileconveyor
There are many file syncing applications out there, but few work the way we want them to or are as versatile as an open source application called fileconveyor. Thankfully, the source code is fully documented and the tool is easily installed. In a matter of minutes you can have the project up and running a sync between the local files on your server to a destination like Rackspace Cloud Files.
Using fileconveyor to sync files to the CDN lets you use ecommerce solutions like Magento or CMS applications like Drupal or WordPress with Cloud Files without relying on a plug-in to handle the file transfers.
You can run fileconveyor on Linux or Mac OS X. Windows is not supported at the time of this writing. This document was written for fileconverter version 0.3.
Your system will need to have python 2.5 or higher installed.
Installation will require git and pip.
Install git
If you don't have git installed already, you can download it from the project's website:
Most Linux distributions also have git in their main package respository, under the package name "git".
Install pip
You'll also need the python package manager pip.
If you don't have pip installed the easiest way to get it is to install the python setuptools package. You can download the installer from its website:
As an alternative you can use a Linux package manager to install setuptools. On most distributions the package name is "python-setuptools".
Once you've installed setuptools you can install pip by running:
sudo easy_install pip
Install fileconveyor
Now you can install fileconveyor.
Change to the directory you want to hold the fileconveyor files, then run:
sudo pip install -e git+https://github.com/wimleers/fileconveyor@master#egg=fileconveyor
The fileconveyor source files will be downloaded to the src/fileconveyor directory, relative to where you run the pip command. For example, if you run pip in the /usr/local directory, the fileconveyor script directory will be in /usr/local/src/fileconveyor.
Running the install with sudo (or as root) lets pip handle installing dependencies like django and python-cloudfiles.
Sample configuration
Before running fileconveyor you'll need to configure it by creating a file named "config.xml" in the same directory as the arbitrator.py file.
If you are starting in the directory you were in when you started the install, you can run:
sudo nano src/fileconveyor/fileconveyor/config.xml
For a simple configuration that will sync the contents of a directory with a Cloud Files container, paste the following text into the file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Sources -->
<sources ignoredDirs="">
<source name="test" scanPath="/var/www/html/test" />
<!-- Servers -->
<server name="Rackspace Cloud Files" transporter="cloudfiles">
<!-- Rules -->
<rule for="test" label="Test">
<destination server="Rackspace Cloud Files" path="test" />
You'll need to modify the config to fit your environment and account details.
- In the "Sources" section change the "scanPath" property to the directory you want to sync.
- In the "Servers" section set "username" and "api_key" to match your credentials, and set "container" to the name of the container to hold the synced files.
- In the "Rules" section set the "path" property to the subdirectory to sync to in the container. Leave the value blank to sync to the root of the container (path="").
It's possible to perform more complex syncs by using multiple rules, syncing from multiple sources, or having fileconveyor change the filename or some of a file's properties before copying it to Cloud Files (using "processors"). More details can be found in fileconveyor's documentation and on the project's website.
Running fileconveyor
With the configuration all set, it's time to run fileconveyor for its initial sync. The "arbitrator.py" script handles launching fileconveyor's various components:
sudo python src/fileconveyor/fileconveyor/arbitrator.py
The fileconveyor program is written to be run as a console script, without an included init script or means of forking the process to run as a daemon. For testing purposes you can run the script directly from a command line. For persistent use you'll want to either set up an init script or run the program from a screen session, as in:
screen python src/fileconveyor/fileconveyor/arbitrator.py
Once the initial sync completes you should be able to see the results in the target container via the Cloud Control Panel.
Further details
The sample configuration we provide is simple, and you can do much more with fileconveyor to customize its operation to your needs. Check the documentation in the source directory and the project web page for full details, but here are a few more options:
Running verify.py will check the source directory against the Cloud Files container to confirm that the files synced properly.
These instructions have you install and run via sudo, but fileconveyor doesn't require root privileges to run. You can also chown the fileconveyor directory and its contents to an unprivileged user.
The application runs off a django backend source to connect to the various servers and any DeprecationWarning entries in the log can be safely disregarded.
You can edit values in the settings.py file to make the locations of the SQlite databases, the pid file, and other system files more permanent. For example:
RESTART_AFTER_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTION = True RESTART_INTERVAL = 10 LOG_FILE = '/var/log/fileconveyor.log' PID_FILE = '/var/run/fileconveyor/fileconveyor.pid' PERSISTENT_DATA_DB = '/etc/fileconveyor/persistent_data.db' SYNCED_FILES_DB = '/etc/fileconveyor/synced_files.db' WORKING_DIR = '/tmp/fileconveyor' MAX_FILES_IN_PIPELINE = 50 MAX_SIMULTANEOUS_PROCESSORCHAINS = 1 MAX_SIMULTANEOUS_TRANSPORTERS = 10 MAX_TRANSPORTER_QUEUE_SIZE = 1 QUEUE_PROCESS_BATCH_SIZE = 20 CALLBACKS_CONSOLE_OUTPUT = False CONSOLE_LOGGER_LEVEL = logging.INFO FILE_LOGGER_LEVEL = logging.DEBUG RETRY_INTERVAL = 30

Michael Schumacher:
Nico Rosberg:
Ross Brawn:
Norbert Haug:
Qualifying is underway! If Vettel wins this race, he is pretty much is the new champion. Webber can't launch his car at the start is loses 4-5 places. Alonso, doesn't have the car, Hamilton loves to crash, and Button is too far behind to even be a serious challenge.
Vettel after regaining his winning pace at Spa, clenched pole position from the Mclaren duo at Monza. Vettel took pole with 1:22:275 a half second faster than Hamilton, who had to abort his last lap after locking his front brakes. Button finished third, Alonso took forth just 0.1sec ahead of Webber. Massa finished sixth, ahead of Renault's Petrov, Schumacher, and Rosberg, who qualified on the medium tires. Bruno Senna will start 10th on the grid since he choose not to set a time in Q3.
Mercedes GP decided to run a tactical qualifying in order to save a fresh set of tires for the race. The move succeded. Schumacher will have a fresh set of soft and Rosberg will have 2 sets for the race.
For Michael Schumacher, racing at Monza is always a special feeling:
After he qualified ninth on the grid, Nico was satisfied in the knowledge that the result was down to the compromise the team made to be strong in tomorrows race:It began yesterday when I did my lap of the circuit, saw the tifosi and enjoyed the particular atmosphere of this track. Then going out in the car today, its nice to feel what comes across from the fans - it reminds me of being at my home races. In terms of the character of the circuit, we are usually good on braking and traction, and there are not so many of the medium and high-speed corners in which we have not been so strong this year. It certainly looks good in terms of my position today, and Im pleased with that; but we will only find out tomorrow what it is really worth.
Ross Brawn:The performance in Q2 shows that the car is working well here, and we saved two sets of options which is good. Im the only driver who took part in Q3 who will be starting on the hard tyre, so it will be interesting and should help me a lot at the start of the race. I think it will be a really good race tomorrow.
Norbert Haug:Tyre management will be crucial in the race. We were very mindful with both cars that we must start the race on the same tyres as we qualified on. For Nico, we opted for a prudent approach by running the hard tyre which could open up a nice opportunity for him tomorrow and it will be very interesting to see how he progresses.
Michael decided to use the soft tyre in Q3, but only completed a single lap to preserve them for the race. Both drivers have fresh sets for the race - two sets of softs for Nico, and one for Michael - so we will see how this afternoon's tactical decisions play out. I think we can look forward to plenty of action.
Full Qualifying Results:Our target since Friday has been to get our preparations right for the race. We knew this could cost us one or two positions on the grid, but we hope that our strategy will pay off in the race tomorrow.
Both Nico and Michael will have a number of fresh tyres for the race which should help us too. But of course we are realistic in our targets and a result similar to Spa a fortnight ago is what we can achieve in a best-case scenario.
Driver Teams Time 1 S Vettel (GER) Red Bull 1'22.275 2 LC Hamilton (GBR) McLaren 1'22.725 3 J Button (GBR) McLaren 1'22.777 4 F Alonso (ESP) Ferrari 1'22.841 5 M Webber (AUS) Red Bull 1'22.972 6 F Massa (BRA) Ferrari 1'23.188 7 V Petrov (RUS) Renault 1'23.530 8 M Schumacher (GER) Mercedes-Benz 1'23.777 9 N Rosberg (GER) Mercedes-Benz 1'24.477 10 B Senna (BRA) Renault 1'24.157 11 P di Resta (GBR) Force India 1'24.163 12 A Sutil (GER) Force India 1'24.209 13 RG Barrichello (BRA) Williams 1'24.648 14 P Maldonado (VEN) Williams 1'24.726 15 S Perez (MEX) Sauber 1'24.845 16 S Buemi (SUI) Toro Rosso 1'24.932 17 K Kobayashi (JPN) Sauber 1'25.065 18 J Alguersuari (ESP) Toro Rosso 1'25.334 19 J Trulli (ITA) Lotus 1'26.647 20 H Kovalainen (FIN) Lotus 1'27.184 21 T Glock (GER) Virgin 1'27.591 22 J d'Ambrosio (BEL) Virgin 1'27.609 23 D Ricciardo (AUS) HRT 1'28.054 24 V Liuzzi (ITA) HRT 1'28.231
Qualifying was kinda meh. Vettel pretty much dominate from start to finish and Mclaren couldn't fight back. Might as well give the title to Vettel. Unless something happens to him, he'll win the race. Whoever takes pole wins Monza and DRS won't help the followers since the cars don't have any downforce to begin with anyway this race.
Maybe Vettel wins, maybe he $#@!s up.
He is almost 100 point ahead. Only if he crashes himself out of the season within the next 3 races.will anybody else be WC this year. Just enjoy the races.
