The fifth annual Aiken City Cup Corporate Fitness Challenge will take place this spring, and businesses are encouraged to participate in what many consider to be a field day for adults.
The event, organized by the City of Aiken, promotes fitness and teamwork through a variety of games and competitions held during the late afternoons of May 14 through May 16 at the H. Odell Weeks Activities Center.
Last year, UPS won the cup, ending URS Safety Management Solutions' three-year winning streak.
Recreation Program Supervisor Jessica Campbell said it's an event that has been growing over the years.
More games have been added for participants to enjoy, including cornhole and ladder ball, which are new to this year's schedule.
Other games or competitions include horseshoes, basketball, tennis, volleyball, table tennis, a 2-mile run, walking, disc golf, free throw, tug of war, three-legged race, sack race, relay race, boccie ball, racquetball, shuffle board and pickleball.
"We're continuing to offer our program that focuses on health and wellness, and, of course, we encourage some friendly competition between local businesses," Campbell said.
Campbell said the competition is also a great opportunity to build relationships with co-workers and others from outside the office.
The event falls on National Employee Health and Fitness Day on May 15, which was established by the National Association for Health and Fitness. This day encourages physical activity and promotes the benefits of a healthy lifestyle for both business owners and their employees.
Registration forms and entry fees of $150 per company will be accepted until April 14.
For more information or to get a registration packet, call Campbell at 642-7631.
Forms and fees can be mailed to the City of Aiken PRT Department Aiken City Cup Corporate Fitness Challenge at P.O. Box 1177 Aiken, S.C. 29802.

City Center
Four Mondays: May 19 and June 2, 9 and 16, 2014
7:30 - 9 pm
Suzuki Roshi often taught "things as it is, things as they are" as a worldview to relieve suffering. How can we learn to live in response to our direct experience of ourselves and the world, rather than in habitual reaction to preconditioned, fixed views?
In this four-week class, we will explore Buddha's magnificent teaching of the Four Divine Abidings as gates to a truly human life characterized by acceptance, gratitude and freedom. A variety of modes of self-study will be used, including physical practices, speech study, and journaling. Class members have the opportunity to deepen their study and practice in the half-day sitting on Saturday afternoon, May 31. (Please register separately for the half-day sitting.)
Fees: $60; $54 current SFZC members; $48 limited income. Some partial scholarships available. (About Registration, Scholarships and Cancellations.)
To Register: Use the ticket table below to register online. Or call our toll free number (888.743.9362) or our local number (415.475.9362).

text: I cant see why the neck area of a 7.62x39 cant be opend up to 9mm the rest of the case would be the same and if clymer says the 7.62 head space guage will work that means that from the shoulder back is the same so the only differance is the neck its self. as I see it all you need to do is ream/drill out the neck area to the size of a 9mm case. you should now be able to seat the bullet and crimp with a 9mm crimper. I see lee dies on ebay all the time for around $20 I bought a set myself havent used them yet. lee also makes a good factory crimp die as well. one of the sites I listed can make dies from fired brass, chamber molds or a print. I think I would call Zhat or Ch-4D and get there input. If you can come up with a cheap die source a lot of guys are going to want to have a barrel with this chamber. Im thinking $140 maybe lots less would be the max for dies and crimp plus you need a case expander not sure on that one. another $200 should get you into a decent turret press now all you have to do is come up with a load I would give hornady a call for a safe starting load. I would not worry about a rougher as you can drill a lot of the chamber out first with drill bits. better start designing a shell catcher Im thinking some thing that goes on a spare dust sheild for mine you brass is going to be worth at least 35-50 cent a piece to you if you value your time

Thanks for the tip, Susan.ReplyDelete
I really enjoyed reading Roxana Robinson's post. For one thing, living in Cincinnati, I've been in one of Harriet Beecher Stowe's homes. I'm sure it would be almost a mansion compared to other homes of the time. It is now preserved as a sort of museum. We used to have meetings there. I may have to finally commit to reading the book.ReplyDelete
WOW! How have I missed these? Great to add to my reader list. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Somehow the cell phone just kills the moment :-)ReplyDelete

Outcome to be Determined; MLB Radio Show Returns Nov. 6
Friday, October 03, 2003
Prior to the start of spring training, Todd devised a "beat the experts" contest on his weekly MLB.com Radio show. The challenge was to correctly pick Major League Baseball's final regular season standings in each division, and do it better than Todd.
To recap, Todd bet his listeners and spawn.com readers all the regular series baseball action figures produced in 2003 that he could pick the final MLB standings more correctly than everyone else. The contest was based on the following criteria: A person is docked one point for each missed place in the standings, up or down. Thus, the person who scores closest to zero wins. For full contest details read the original story.
The regular season has ended. The results have been tallied. And, the winner is... (Insert drum roll here) going to have to wait until the World Series is decided, due to a tie. Todd's picks netted him -20. Six people beat Todd at his game, with two people out-dueling everyone by scoring -16. Congratulations to Sean O'Connor from White Plains, NY, and Joel Bangkot from Pacifica, CA.
The rules stated that if more than one person beat Todd and had the best score, we would have a random drawing. After reviewing the situation, the spawn.com prize committee -- headed up by special-needs contest intern Cochise -- met in emergency session this week. We then contacted Sean and Joel who agreed to continue the contest until the World Series, rather than hold a random drawing for two. Once the World Series teams have been decided, Sean and Joel will each pick the series winner and the number of games it takes to win. Stay tuned later this month for the results.
Finally, Todd's Radio Show returns Nov. 6. The show is off the air during the October playoffs. Starting Thursday, Nov. 6, Todd will return with weekly shows, excluding Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The show will air at a new time: 2 to 3 PM Eastern. This schedule should hold through Spring Training.
To keep track of Todd's show, check out the special events page dedicated to it -- www.spawn.com/news/events/mlbradio.aspx. The page features a direct link to MLB.com Radio's home page to listen live or to archives if you are a subscriber to MLB.com's paid services. Todd does the radio show for free and receives no compensation from the subscription services, which took effect in March.

Best Uses
I needed a place to grow my pole beans this year as my usual area was now taken up with blueberry bushes and my vegetable growing is done in home made raised beds. This product has enabled me to grow more than enough beans for the family and the neighbors think it looks really cool! So far, there are no problems and I think in a while I will just refresh the soil and replant the beans for a fall harvest. It was easy to set up although I am height challenged and needed help threading the twine through the top of the support.(I also need a little help harvesting the high beans but that is not really a problem as I get help)
- Colorful
- Easy to use
- Great for small spaces
- Cats love to lie in them
Best Uses
- Beans
- Peas
- Squash
- Vine spinach
Fits well between my 2 garden boxes. Can mix soil, manure & additives easily! The plant supports are really helpful in growing vining plants. The supports also keep the soft structure in shape and prevents the walls from folding in on themselves. Unfortunately it is the perfect size for a medium to large cat to curl up on and flatten all your peas!!!

Next week, Chris and I will be trekking out to Portland, Oregon for the convergence that is known as OSCON (Open-Source Convention).
I'm speaking on day one at OSCON Data on Playful Explorations of Public and Personal Data. Open Data has become commonly available and the tools to connect it with our social media, travels, location, family, and even businesses are opening new insights. I'll talk about a few fun projects we're doing with GeoCommons as well as some really great community contributions that are delightful. I'll also share some examples of how busineses are using open data to answer key business questions that weren't possible before.
On Wednesday Chris is speaking about Open Geospatial Libraries for Ruby. We use a lot of open-source tools to build GeoIQ and integrate with other libraries. Chris will point out how developers can build their own maps, data sharing, and analysis quickly with some of these open-source tools.
If you're at OSCON, or just in Portland in general, and you want to meetup – make sure to drop us a line to @ajturner or @cwhelm.

|Cascadian Couloir in the heat
Date Climbed: Aug 22, 2011
|Climbed Stuart via the Cascadian Couloir on a very hot weekend. Route was easy enough until we hit the snowfield below the false summit which was snowier than usual and quite slick. Made it up and over to the actual summit and enjoyed a nice nap. Navigating down the snowfield was dicey and one member of our party slipped but was able to arrest before the rocks. Had an awesome campsite in the meadow, probably the best part of the whole trip!

|Classic climb, amazing exposure and views. We came in from the Ingalls Lake trailhead and went up and over goat pass. bivyed above the glacier and started climbing the next day. A storm rolled in while we were climbing and we ended up bivying on a ledge above the gendarme for 2 nights waiting for it to pass. When it passes, it was gorgeous. Views to the Olympic mountains and a great story

|Scree climb and Class 3 scramble to steep snow chutes on left for last 1,500 ft to false summit. Snow was soft but consolidated underneath. Ridge to summit mostly snow free. Too the "Variation #1" chute down - big mistake - water fall for last 1,500 ft. with nasty snow bridge at bottom. Fun climb, except for the part back up to Long's Pass.

|Pretty uneventful. Cairns between false summit and summit can be a bit misleading but stay high on the ridge and youll be good. Left the car at 5:30 and was back at a little after 6:00 and thats including farting around quite a bit. Getting back up to Long's Pass was the hardest part thanks to the bog and then snow thats lingering.

|Climbed/skied "Variation 1" to the west of the Cascadian to the false summit. Decided the last couple hundred feet of snow to the summit in the blistering sun wasn't a good idea. I've been thinking about this climb for several years and hope to make it back again some time soon.

|This was a lot more enjoyable than I was looking forward to. I thought it was going to be an endless dirty slog. It is very long, but the rock formations and scenery keep you moving. There is a nice ledge at the top of the couloir that would fit 3-4 tents. I want to stay there next time.

|First time climbed the Cascadian Couloir, fine going up, kind of a long pain in the neck going down. Really fun scrambling near the top. The second time I climbed the West Ridge with my friend Andy in August 2007, with a great camping spot near Ingalls Lake. A long and complicated but fun route.

|Climbed the West Ridge. Incredible day on the mountain. 10 hrs to get up it and 1 1/2 to get down (didn't feel like a bivy with cold beer waiting at camp). My knees won't let me forget about that anytime soon. Free-solo'd the last pitch which proved very exiting!

|Fellow SP member "Gimpilator" and I did this as a one-day trek. 8000' total elevation gain and 13.25 hours (including one hour at the summit). Perfect weather conditions, and the awesome view from the summit made the entire climb worth it. One of my all-time favorite climbs.

Iron Man Sequel
08 May 2008
Finally we were able to watch Iron Man last Tuesday at NCCC Mall cinema 2. It was a good enough movie for me but somehow predictable. Gwyneth Paltrow who played Virginia "Pepper" Potts, the ever reliable assistant of Tony Spark (Downey), had an easy role and as for Jeff Bridges the Iron Monger Obadiah Stane, I did not recognize him if H did not mention his name. He is fat and bald. The last time I saw him in a movie or on TV, he obviously did not look like that and that was ages ago. Robert Downey Jr.'s movie was a blockbuster and bouyed by its success, the Marvel Studios has already planned for the Iron Man sequel for April 2010. We somehow thought so since before the movie began there was a very short clip of Robert Downey and Samuel Jackson implying a sequel to the movie. Iron Man now ranks as the 2nd biggest US debut ever for a non-sequel movie at $US98.6 million ($104 million) while Spider Man is in the number one spot with $US114.8 million. The top movie opening of all time is Spider Man 3 at $151 million in US and Canada ticket sales in its first weekend in May 2007. Well H is looking forward to the sequel and so I hope that it would be better and has more story in it than the first.

Karate Hottie: Obviously, sex sells - Mixed Martial Arts News
Sports Illustrated caught up with Michelle "Karate Hottie" Waterson, ahead of her headlining fight with Jessica Penne at Invicta FC 5: Penne vs. Waterson, live via online PPV on 5 April 2013.
Sports Illustrated: The marketing of female athletes is always tricky, especially when it comes to appearance. With your background as a model and nickname as the "Karate Hottie," how do you want to be marketed as an athlete?
Michelle Waterson: People are going to see me however they want to see me. Obviously, sex sells and whatnot. Part of that, as far as my image, was me. When I was first getting into it, I was working at Hooters and I was doing bikini competitions, photo shoots for calendars, and this and that. But it's not necessarily who I am now. If people want to view me as that and label me as that, that's perfectly fine. Because if that's going to get me in the door so people can actually see how skilled I am as an athlete, that's fine. I'll play the game. To me, people are going to judge you no matter what, no matter how you put yourself out there. In my opinion, they can judge however they want to. Hopefully, it's in a positive light.
SI: You took a brief hiatus from fighting to give birth to your daughter, Araya, who just turned two. How has motherhood changed you as a fighter?
MW: Once I had my daughter, it heightened my sense of reality ... It makes you really question, is this something I should be doing with my life and for my daughter? Will my daughter look up to me because of it? It's made me more passionate about [fighting] and it's made me more driven because I want to show my daughter that you can go after your dreams and still be a good mother. Anything is possible. If I can show that to her, and just set an example with what I'm doing with my life, that would be the best teacher to her.

Feb 5, 2013After playing so many shooters in recent years, Thieves in Time's old-school platforming is a breath of fresh air. While it doesn't innovate, its subtle craftsmanship and varied gameplay reasserts what we've always known: This genre still has something important to add to the game industry. I hope this game meets with the success it deserves.
Feb 11, 2013Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is an excellent platformer/stealth hybrid, just like its predecessors, and something long-time fans of the series will love, but newcomers may be better off picking up the HD trilogy since it doesn't do all that much new and gives you far more value for your money.
Mar 20, 2013Sly Cooper's last is a solid adventure. Thieves in Time is a finely crafted game and a funny one to play.
Feb 5, 2013It does so many things right and harkens back to a different time in gaming while modernizing the experience for a new generation. It may not wow you like some of the best PlayStation exclusives have in the past, but needless to say, the wait for a continuation of the Sly saga was officially worth it.
Feb 5, 2013There are occasional stumbles, but Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is another good entry in the platforming series.
Feb 11, 2013Despite the constant feeling of déjà vu, there's a lot of gameplay here. The entire adventure will take around 10-15 hours to finish, never mind hunting down all of the hidden secrets and trying to chase after that ever-elusive Platinum trophy. And its hard not to fall back into Sly's world – it's familiar, safe, like an old blanket.
Feb 5, 2013When it comes right down to it, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is a competent platformer that rests on the laurels its namesake and plays it far too safe. That said, hardcore fans will find plenty to love solely because it's more Sly. So if pretty art and average platforming sounds worth the price of admission, who am I to stop you?

Positive: 55 out of 70
Mixed: 8 out of 70

Feb 5, 2013At its core, the Sly Cooper games are platformers, but the last few installments have strayed towards action-adventure. And Sky Cooper:At its core, the Sly Cooper games are platformers, but the last few installments have strayed towards action-adventure. And Sky Cooper: Thieves in Time captures that perfectly. Developer Sanzaru Games didn't develop the original three PS2 Sly games, but they definitely know what they are doing. From the beautiful cel shaded graphics to the fluid animations, Sly Cooper is a PS3/Vita title that deserves more credit than it receives. Along with Jak and Ratchet, Sly was part of Sony's "Big 3" of gaming during the PS2 days. Of those three, Sly was probably the most deservent of a sequel, and now after his eight year absence from the gaming scene, he is getting one that is worthy of Sucker Punch's originals. And with a cliffhanging ending, this may not be the last time we see Sly Cooper, the master thief, in action.… Expand
Feb 10, 2013Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is a long awaited entry to the Sly Cooper series. It is a very unique title in today's gaming market. Most of theSly Cooper: Thieves in Time is a long awaited entry to the Sly Cooper series. It is a very unique title in today's gaming market. Most of the "hot titles" are First Person Shooters, but this is far from it. That is a very good thing. Video games are viewed negatively in the media, and the only reason for that is the recent downpour of violent First Person Shooters. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is technically violent, the ESRB describes it well as cartoon violence, but it shows that you don't need any blood or gore to make a great game. The graphics are simple yet elegant. They are detailed and colorful, but they are wonderfully cartoony. It is an excellent representative of what the PS3 is capable of. The 2-D cut scenes are very detailed and help explain the story nicely. The soundtrack adds emotion to the game as well, making it even more enjoyable. Now to the actual game-play. The controls of Sly, Bentley, and Murray are true to the original series, and to those who haven't played the original trilogy, the controls are simple and easy to pick up and play. The included ancestors of Sly and costumes that Sly wears add variation to the game-play and they don't change things too much to need long tutorials for the new control schemes. Along with witty dialogue, great voice acting, and multiple pop culture references, the story, continuing from Sly 3, is interesting, and it has many twists and turns and unexpected surprises. The boss fights are simple, but fun turn based fights. The whole game, boss fights included, is not very difficult. I've seen games so difficult that they make you want to give up playing, and I've seen games so easy that they bore you. this game is neither of those games. The game's lack of difficulty is made up for by it's varied game-play. There are Bentley's hacking mini-games, many different characters, and many collectibles. The collectibles alone take time and dedication to get, especially if you don't use the Vita version of the game, which is included with the PS3 game, with it's AR Treasures mode which helps you detect collectibles, and the collectibles add re-playability. If you are a trophy hunter, this game delivers, with its interesting and some difficult trophies that also add to re-playability. Overall, this game is a diamond in the rough. If you stumbled upon this review and you don't know whether or not to buy this game, do it. You won't regret it, especially since the price is only $40.00 compared to many other games priced at $60.00, and this game even includes the Vita version which is priced at $30.00!… Expand

Jun 20, 2013When I was a kid, I played all of the Sly games on my PS2. They were and still are some of my favorite games. Does this game hold up for a fanWhen I was a kid, I played all of the Sly games on my PS2. They were and still are some of my favorite games. Does this game hold up for a fan who experienced the older ones? Yes, yes it does. Not only does it have the nostalgia going for it, but the overall gameplay is superb, and the voice acting is pretty well done too, since Bentley, Sly, and Murray have the same voice actors that they used to. The graphics are beautiful for a game like that, and there are few glitches throughout. My main quarrel with this game is that it was to short for me. I finished it in about 7-9 hours, which is good, but Sly 2 took me around 12. I would've liked if this game had a few more 'episodes'. All in all, though, Sanzaru Games did a great job. I'm glad to have bought this game. I hope to see more Slys in the future, because Sanzaru is more than capable.… Expand

You get Sly 4: Thieves in Time (A.K.A) THE WORST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED IN MY LIFE!! I was a fool for ever thinking that this was going to be a great game from the start, I absolutely hate it! This abomination of a game has horrible loading screens, horrible writing, completely out of characters that CONSTANTLY told jokes to no end, had relentless hacking missions, the game was too easy, the game felt rushed, the plot twist was like a middle finger to the face, the final boss was a joke, and it overall completely ruined the entire Sly Cooper franchise for me! Sure the graphics were nicely detailed, it was fun playing as Sly's ancestors, and the costumes were okay...but that still does not save the game from its obvious flaws because in order to have a great game you need BOTH good gameplay and writing!!! How could you Sanzaru??? You single handedly ruined my favorite series of all time and my life!! I hate this game soooo much!!! If I must....I recommend this game to little kids who have no idea what Sly Cooper is about and as for anyone who has grown up with the series...... stay away as far as possible from this game and anyone who has this game should immediately burn it so it will never see the light of day!!!!!… Expand

August 3, 2015
The third live-action "Star Trek" series premiered on this date in 1993, and was the first such series not set on a starship named "Enterprise."
With the success of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," another "Star Trek" spin-off was planned. Instead of being placed on a starship like the previous series and movies, this would be set aboard a space station with an all new cast and crew.
This became "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," which premiered 21 years ago on January 3rd, 1993. Like "The Next Generation," this was a syndicated series that aired on a variety of affiliate networks.
The series starred Avery Brooks as Commander (later Captain) Benjamin Sisko and also included such talent as Rene Auberjonois, Nana Visitor and Terry Farrell. Colm Meaney, who played the recurring character Chief Miles O'Brien on "The Next Generation" was brought over as a regular.
Some Star Trek fans praise "Deep Space Nine" for its darker tone and arc-based storytelling, while others disliked the grimmer take on the typically sanguine "Star Trek" universe and felt it continued its war-based storyline from later seasons too long. Other Trekkers and Trekkies were simply glad to have a new series in their franchise.
"Deep Space Nine" lasted seven seasons, and was followed by "Star Trek: Voyager," and later "Star Trek: Enterprise." The complete series has been released on DVD, and is currently available on various streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Instant Video.

So Who Are The People Behind ESP Emporium?
We're a family of tea enthusiasts from around the world who are committed to bringing you the most extensive assortment of premium loose teas and tea related accessories possible. We pride ourselves on our enormous selection, distinct varieties of taste and impeccable quality of product.
With over 300 superb types of tea we've got you covered from black tea, green tea, half fermented tea, flavored teas, fruit blends, Rooibos and herbal teas, all these are just among a few included in our exquisite collection.
From Humble Beginnings …
So how did it all start? ESP Emporium was founded by Steven Popec and his Russian wife Elena. It wasn't until Steven met Elena that he discovered the world of teas and tisanes for himself.
Russia is one of the countries where tea still plays a major role in culture, it's more of a lifestyle than just hot beverage for most. It's through Elena's first hand cultural experience combined with her university education that Steve was introduced to the art of tea.
During the years that followed Steven experienced a mental shift, from tea being just a 'hot beverage' to launching himself alongside Elena in discovering Teaism, tea cultures and traditions, which is reflected in our principle that every tea we sell isn't just another flavor, but just a small part of a unique and diverse culture.
In many ways tea is a lost art, people often forget that tea has been used for thousands of years all over the globe in varying forms of teaism, traditions, and spiritual ceremonies. After discovering so much about tea Steven and Elena decided to launch ESP Emporium, a brand dedicated to acquainting people with the lost art of tea.
We don't just offer you high quality tea products, because our main goal is to educate. Which is exactly the kind of information you'll find on our blog, which explores not only the health benefits of tea but it dwells further into eastern ideology, the history of tea, tea processes, classic traditions and of course cultural aspects and nuances associated with the art of tea.
As For The Company Itself?
Over the past few years ESP Emporium has become one of the largest tea distributors online. We attribute a large part of our success to our system of organic growing and regulated cultivation combined with seal fresh packaging – all to ensure you receive a rich savory signature tea.
We pride ourselves on the fact that each tea we sell is chosen and tasted by a panel of tea connoisseurs with a combined expertise stretching over an impressive 100 years. Our family of tea enthusiasts are well known for visiting numerous ceremonies to witness first hand just how deeply culture is intertwined with the delicate tastes of dry wilted leaves.
And it's through our travels that we realized that the best teas are grown organically in their natural habitats. That's why all of our products come directly from local growers, here are just a few of the locations we grow our teas: Africa, Sri Lanka, India, China, Nepal and even Vietnam.
It's by offering high quality teas grown in their natural habitats that we assure your satisfaction with each and every order. You can shop with peace of mind knowing that everyone of our tea products comes with a 100% money back satisfaction guarantee – that's how sure we are that you'll fall in LOVE with our unforgettable aromatic specialty teas.
Remember, our commitment has always been to deliver the best quality product at the best rates possible providing you with what we call our 'ESP Emporium Experience'. Which doesn't end after you leave this website, it stays fresh in a tin can for you cup after cup until the last drop is gone, now that's what we call – customer satisfaction.
Browse through our selection, find the tea for you and witness it first hand yourself!

I feel like ignoring the "G1" in fact i don't even consider the "G1" Linked to Android at all... the G1 is just another normal regular everyday phone.
Why did they release Android itself on such a lame nothing device? I don't know... maybe they rushed.. and had no choice.
Honestly if it were me doing it I would have made Androids release on a spectacular device.. not some normal everyday cel phone. There's nothing special about it AT ALL.. period.
I don't see why it's getting so much buzz either... we should all just wait to see if anyone steps up to the plate and makes an amazing hardware phone using Android.. until then i don't think any of it deserves the Buzz it's getting.
We should just be talking about Android.
Last but not least... holy crap everyone seems to be forgetting so quickly HOW BADLY T-mobile SUCKS... dear god...NIGHTMARES
iPhone 3G vs T-Mobile G1: Hardware Shootout!
If you didn't know, Google and T-Mobile held a small event that introduced the world to Android and the first Android device, the T-Mobile G1. And though Android impressed many (TiPb included), a lot of people scratched their heads when it came to the T-Mobile G1. Sure it packed a lot of features, controls, layouts, etc in one device but looks-wise it just didn't blow anybody away. Is this really the device that Google is going to use to introduce the world to Android?
So we decided to take a closer look at the hardware and see how it compares to the iPhone 3G!
Read on to see how the iPhone 3G compares to the T-Mobile G1 Here's a disclaimer: We know that the iPhone is the iPhone is the iPhone while Android can pretty much be anything anybody wants it to be. Apple and Google employ different strategies, different ideals, and different means but the goal is the same—to take as much of the cell phone market as they possibly can. We're not going to delve into the differences because honestly, it's too many to list.
Google is a company that (almost) receives as much attention as Apple so when they release a cell phone platform, we're going to pay attention. Though some may argue that Android is trying to replace Windows Mobile more so than go after the iPhone, like it or not, the iPhone and the T-Mobile G1 are two devices going after the same consumer market. So let's see how they compare, hardware wise, yeah?
Probably the biggest disappointment of all is the styling of the device. Though it looked considerably better than the leaked photos, the T-Mobile G1 still lacks a certain swagger to it. It seems like it's so confused on what to be that it just comes off as plain. Not even to imagine the Jay Leno sized chin, in product shots the thing is ginormous. The device does seem to have an endearing quality to it, perhaps it's the usage of very-approachable colors—you won't find a glossy black or white here.
But overall, it's sad that the design couldn't be more revolutionary than evolutionary considering HTC doesn't typically make bad looking devices (look at the Touch series). I think it can be said with fair certainty that the T-Mobile G1 will never win any design awards and will NEVER be mistaken as an iPhone.
Edge: iPhone, Comparing the styling of the iPhone to the T-Mobile G1 is really no contest and probably offends the heck out of Jonathan Ive.
Input Method
Plainness aside, the T-Mobile G1 is the perfect device to launch Android with. Why? Because it includes all the popular input methods: touch-screen, keyboard, and even a trackball. Developers are able to create versatile apps that will extend past the T-Mobile G1 because of all the input methods available.
But by including so many input methods, the T-Mobile G1 risks confusing the user experience. Would anyone ever actively use a trackball over a touchscreen? Is a keyboard that might not even be good (there have been complaints of it being too flat) worth the added thickness? And above all, having a touchscreen is fine and dandy with TiPb but where's the multi-touch? Most other touchscreen devices are less sensitive and less responsive than the iPhone 3G and without multi-touch it can't even be considered in the same league. Maybe the T-Mobile G1 will be better in that regard.
Edge: T-Mobile G1, I think people who can effectively use the iPhone's keyboard won't look twice at the added input methods of the T-Mobile G1 (I know I won't). But it'd be careless to not admit that the T-Mobile G1 beats the iPhone in offering options. I mean, even Blackberry users can get in on the fun with the (out-dated) trackball.
Size and shape wise, the T-Mobile G1 does a great job in creating a easy-to-hold, good-in-hand feel. It's a wee bit taller than the iPhone (4.6 inches vs 4.5) and noticeably thicker (.62 vs .48), but it does deserve credit for being narrower (2.16 vs2.4). The screen is a nick smaller at 3.17 inches vs the iPhone's 3.5 inches but I can't imagine people complaining about that difference. In all, dimensions wise the T-Mobile G1 is commendable, it's pretty amazing how it can offer so many input methods in such a tight package.
But come on, really? To compete with the iPhone you have to package a more amazing product in stunning dimensions. The T-Mobile G1 doesn't do that. Instead it loses here, loses there, and pretty much loses everywhere when compared to the pure dimensions. Some may still complain that the iPhone 3G still doesn't "feel" like a phone but you'd be hard pressed to find a better package than the iPhone.
Edge: iPhone, Though the T-Mobile G1 surprised many with a solid build quality, it doesn't approach the iPhone 3G (and original iPhone!) in terms of feeling great in the hand.
Storage, Headphone jack, Camera, Battery, Misc
Some people like expandable memory via MicroSD cards and sure it offers a lot of options for the future, but honestly, I would rather take the 8/16 GB out the box than the 1GB—its just easier that way. When bigger MicroSD cards become affordable we'll probably be on 32GB iPhones and maybe even a G2.
Even worse than a recessed headphone jack is using a proprietary ExtUSB port. Seeing how much flack that the original iPhone got for not including a 3.5mm headphone jack it is simply jaw-dropping that the T-Mobile G1 would include something even worse. Yeah, we know HTC typically uses this style of port but come on, we're really going to get excited to listen to our DRM-free music through this thing?
One thing the T-Mobile G1 has going for it is opting for a 3 megapixel camera that can auto-focus at close distance over the iPhone's 2 megapixel fixed camera. Also, the T-Mobile G1 includes a removable battery while claiming to offer the same talk time (5 hours) as the iPhone 3G. A big plus for power users. Oh, and don't forget that the T-Mobile G1 has a built-in compass that adds a ridiculous amount of slickness when using Google Maps Street View.
What they both have: Wi-Fi, 3G, EDGE, GPS, Accelerometer
What they both lack: stereo Bluetooth, video recording
Edge: Tie, In our book, Built In Storage + 3.5mm headphone jack = Better Camera + Removable Battery + Compass
Final Thoughts
Don't worry, the king is still the king and the world can continue on spinning. The iPhone 3G still takes the cake in this hardware shoot out. Yeah, who would have thought we would do that huh?
Though a lot of the features are similar, the things that the iPhone are better at are simply best-in-class while the T-Mobile G1's offering were simply par for the course. Put it this way, the iPhone is a knockout punch while the T-Mobile G1 is just a light jab. The iPhone was made to stun and revolutionize the industry while the T-Mobile G1's main purpose is to get the market ready for the Android onslaught. They're both successful at what they aim to do.
Even though we are the iPhone blog, we're pretty excited at the potential of Android and were surprised about how solid the T-Mobile G1 was. Our baby-sister site AndroidCentral is covering all things Android and T-Mobile G1 so be sure to check them out!
What do you think? Do you think the T-Mobile G1 is a worthy contender of the iPhone? Let us know!

iPhone 3G vs T-Mobile G1: Hardware Shootout!
I feel like ignoring the "G1" in fact i don't even consider the "G1" Linked to Android at all... the G1 is just another normal regular everyday phone.
I use the headphone and storage capacity of my iphone every single day, but I wouldn't use a compass or removable battery more than once or twice a month. And yeah, the camera has fewer megapixels, but I haven't seen side-by-side images taken by each phone. As a photographer, I'm guessing there will be no real difference as a result of resolution (though perhaps as a result of a better lens or camera electronics).
The apple keyboard is easy. Even my parents have no trouble with it.
The G1 has a compass. Only nice part IMO. I can't tell you how many times I have turned my iphone around my hand and asked myself "is it this way or that way?" I usually end up walking or driving untill I notice a change to get my bearings. It sucks.
Tmobile G1 totally demolished my Iphone! From software to hardware!! The truth is that it doesnt have any glossy case, but the sleek, business looking gadget has a sexsey body that doesnt smugg like my IPhone and they keyboard is a 5 star, so is tunewiki and the bluetooth headphones which u can now purchase that allows you to listen to music and talk to callers! It has the android market that just created a software to sync up to outlook and visa even chipped in to create a software specially for the GODPHONE! As Iphone users and AT&T users under acontract we're trying to down this phone that's only going above technology in it's prime! Only becuz we're angry that we spent our money on a product we thought would remain number one! GOOGLE is no chump, they're here to dominate and that's exactly what they have done before the cell is even released, with 1,700 applications ready to download and enough hardware that makes me a fan on the otherside of the fence. I love IPhone but the truth is that... We're nick pickin and eventually going to wish we had this under AT&T, just put pressure on Mac to compete with a beast biggerthan them. IPhone is the JesusPhone vs which seems to be the "GoDPhone". Jesus is the Son of GoD... Read ME!! I have no problem with switching because only electronically unintelligent computer ignorant illiterate people realize that this is going to be a monster device, and everything yall say they don't have their creating!! so stop telling them what they don't have if u want us Iphone users to be any competition! (sigh) Im switching!! G1-G1!!! Here I COME!!
Tmobile is a bigger carrier than Atnt, maybe thats why Google decided to release it on their platform, anyhow I love IPhone and I must agree that the G1 from Tmobile is an advanced phone, a tad bit better than Iphone after reserching what it will do. Makes me really wish I could get it on At&T, maybe oneday, but until then IPHONE FOR LIFE!!
A good comparison overall. Apple definitely has sexy products, however, as a former iPhone owner, I am excited for a change of pace. Google makes awesome products, so does Apple. If I had AT&T, I'd own an iPhone. Since I have T-Mobile, I'll use the G1. I'm especially excited to see all the impressive applications that could come out on this device! These phones are equivalent in my eyes as of right now, lets see what the future brings.
well im all about the internet, and as of now i havent seen any iphone that tops the speed of my dash, its just about the same. unless this g1 is much faster i cant say, i phone is an amazing looking device, but isnt it not replacable if broken or stolen, as tmobile has insurance on all their phones, well copy and paste is a cool new feature good for myspace facebook and photobucket, not to mention when writing essays early in class. hmm the usb does suck but hey thats why i have my 160 gig i pod.
the compass is a wow, but the multitouch is dayum crazy
well i gotta play with that G1 before i say wats best.
also anyone realize htc is compatible with itunes, is iphone compatible with windows media or jukebox? i dont know that so i cant say.
also i need pics of my girl when she away can she send multimedia to iphone?
i dunno man its tough
Put it this way i work for AT&T and i have t-mobile as my carrier..the iphone is way overrated , i already pre ordered my g1
Well, I too am an AT&T customer, However, I've just ordered the T-Mobile G1. I currently own an iphone (1st Gen) so by having the opportunity to owned it and have used it, I am in need of something new. I was thinking of upgrading again as I do almost every year and was going with the 3G, but its just the same as my 1st gen iphone with 3 differences; video, gps and 3G network capable. Hmm, with that said the T-Mobile G1 is NEW!!!! PLUS MORE!!!!
I'm really excited that someone finally came out (15 Months late) to make apple a run for its money. Haven't you all noticed that apple is an "i" company, ipod, itunes, itv(flop), imac, itouch, and iphone. Its all about itself and I find it a little sellfish and monotonous. Apple a simple advice, let the other software companies in, then maybe you can have different ideas. Besides its not all about you, and the world does not revolve around your "Macworld" well, I take that back, their are some loonies out there and they are the Applefan boyz!!!!
P.S. For Sale iphone - $120....
www.iphone3gsimunlock.com has the solution to unlock the iphone 3g! ANY GSM carrier. im using tmobile with mine!
HATERS NEVER PROSPER! The G1 is sick, and its about time that t-mobile has come out with something new to love. The iPhone, I do agree is nice, but who wants a phone that is so easy to scratch and hard to maintain. You pay over 200 dollars to get the damn thing, and then you gotta pay more just to make sure it secure.Whereas the G1 has a matte finish. I love touch screens but DAMN what happens when something happens to your phone and you can't access anything because it touch. Well thats where that nice hidden keyboard comes into play. The keys on the iPhone are so small, and I'm sorry but not all of us have small a** fingers, it just takes too long to type on the iPhone. T-mobile's service is a lot more affordable, and the reps are so good to you, unlike at&t, you pay them all this money, get horrible service, and still have to turn around and take it in the a**! THANK YOU T-MOBILE, I'll never leave!

some people will just take anything apple puts there overpriced name on and call it a god , if u think the iphone is better u have mental problems. The G1 has a (useful)keyboard , 3mp camera, accelerometer, amazing graphics for a phone (almost ps1/psp level) and will soon have many 3d games introduced at the start of 09', and to all you iphone lovers it DOES support multi-touch, and expandable memory; a 8gb memorycard is like 20 bucks on ebay, a 16gb is only about 50 and it will soon support 32gb+ cards (so much for your memory debate), it has a interface that actually uses up to 3 homescreens so u can customize it with icons and backgrounds , widgets, ect. not just the same boring menu. it can be locked with a code, secret swipe combination, eye recognition scan, or the iphone slide-lock. Because its open source ANY problem u can complain about can be solved and ANYTHING is possible with homemade or market apps. It will soon support flash (real flash, not lite) and web browsing is twice as fast as an iphone, and the iphone 3g is about 2/3 as fast as the G1. Apple is just too concerned w/ its apperance and has forgotten about what really matters. Go ahead, try me, give me a real reason why the iphone is better (besides saying "its shiny and thin!" like a 3yr old) :)
oh yeah, almost forgort the iphone cant even send media (pic, video)messages. my parents both have iphones so ive compared it to the g1, alot, and idk why companies make such advanced devices that cant even do simple tasks like record video (g1/iphone) even though their hardware are capable of it. With Android however this can be fixed and with Apple it can't.
I personally have a g1! And the g1 doesn't lack a video camera
Android has actually set out a update for the phone that puts its on there
Howeva you still can't compare the ipohne to the G1...regardless of who thinks which is betta....you gotta think....more apps...betta. the fun...
But the more apps...the more "bugs" and virsues and frozen games you get!
But Overall you gotta think wat kind of phone you kno can get affected wit a virus!
My friend has an iPhone and i have a G1. ive spent a lot of time looking at both both devices and I must say that the G1 wins. The iPhones screen is much smaller than that because you have your keyboard on the screen 50% of the time if you actually use your iPhone for things other than games. And the G1 has a real keyboard which is much, much nicer. the track ball and Menu and back button up the convenience of the g1 quite a bit, plus the call and hangup buttons are nice. the iPhone is a bit easier to unless your phone though because u have to press the somewhat small menu button twice to unlock the g1. Another huge up of the G1 is that it doesnt make annoying beep sounds when you text and your phone is on loud but the iPhone does. The Apps on the iPhone and G1 are abotu the same, though the iPhone might win by a bit but i think when the G2 comes out the apps will surpass the iPhones. Spacc wise the iPhone may will on memory but the G1 is just a more solid device and is proven to be a much more scratch free phone than the iPhone because the front of the Device curves forward so when u lay it on something screen first it is less susceptible to scratches. Finally i saved the best for last, STEVEN COLBERT USES A G1. that should be reason enough to get one.
Hope this helps.
all u guys are STUPID! this is a blog about iphones and not the G-1. The g1 can suck the iphones balls all day long. iphone all the way

Back-to-Back Home Runs in Bottom of the Sixth Secure Comeback Victory for Hawks
Sweep Franciscan in AMCC Play
- Release Date:
- May 1, 2010
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Hamburg, NY: Down five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning was an all too familiar situation for the Hilbert Softball team. Senior Rachel Parker (Hamburg, NY/ Hamburg) and freshman Emili Ripley (Batavia, NY/ Notre Dame Catholic) each hit a 2-RBI home run in the bottom of the sixth inning to secure the 7-6 comeback victory for the Hawks and an AMCC sweep. The Hawks defeated Franciscan University of Steubenville in the first game 5-3. The Hawks improve to 11-19 on the season and 5-13 in the AMCC.
After three innings of action, Franciscan took an early 3-1 lead. The Barons would extend their lead to five after earning one run in the fifth and two more in the sixth to hold a 6-1 advantage.
Senior Melissa Radder (Cheektowaga, NY/ Sacred Heart) started things off for the Hawks in the bottom of the sixth with a single. With two outs, Amber Grosch (Depew, NY/ Depew) hit a double to score Radder. Grosch would cross home plate off a base hit from junior Amanda Ratajczak (Cheektowaga, NY/ Maryvale). Parker would hit her third home run of the season over the center field fence scoring two runs to eliminate the five run deficit and cut the Baron lead to one (6-5). With Sarah Collins (Milroy, PA/ Indian Valley) on base, Ripley stepped up to the plate as the go-ahead run. Ripley connected on the first pitch crushing the ball over the fence for the second 2-RBI home run of the inning.
Two runs would score giving the Hawks the 7-6 lead and result in another comeback victory. {2010 Senior Day--Picture left to right, Sarah Collins, Rachel Parker, Carrie Sisson, Meilssa Radder}
This marks Ripley's first home run of her collegiate career.
Rebecca Sutton earned the 7-6 win for Hilbert pitching seven innings and striking out eight of Barons batters.
Game one also went to the Hawks completing their AMCC sweep. Grosch went 2-for-3 and scored two runs. Collins earned her third triple of the year in the 5-3 victory.
The Hawks will play their final game of the season on Thursday, May 6, at 1 p.m. against conference foe Pitt-Greensburg.

Gold Fluted Chargers, Set of 4 3 3
classic charger for a great price We'd purchased boring expensive chargers that had been easily cracked in the Napa earthquake. We replace them with these fabulous, interesting chargers that were much less expensive but much heftier. A great look for a sturdier product at a much better price! September 18, 2014
Really beautiful! they look great with gold rimmed plates...the fluted edge sets them apart from other chargers I have seen...great price too December 27, 2011
Great Value I purchased 50 of these chargers for my upcoming wedding. I was excited when I found these chargers beacuse they ended up being less expensive to purchase than to rent. And now I will be able to use them to dress up the table at holiday gatherings. They are simple yet the fluted design adds something special without being too over the top. The arrived packed very well! August 25, 2014

Wow is all I can say.
I didn't get to see the MFM office but it's going to be on the main floor. Also on the main floor is the ante partum and NICU. The Ante partum is nice, new is always nice plus the rooms all have flat screen TV's. Woohoo The high risk delivery and operation rooms have a window that goes straight into the NICU. The NICU is incredible. It has tons of privacy. If baby ends up there I won't have to worry about some guy walking by while I'm trying to nurse. There are 48 beds separated into separate pods of 4 beds each which is separated into 12 bed units. No more walking through all the babies to see yours. REALLY nice. Of course, I'm hoping we won't be visiting it anytime soon but wow.
Upstairs is the post partum (again flat screen tv's) and the regular nursery. The ante partum rooms are made to labor and deliver in and for a regular birth (over 34 weeks) they have everything right there for the baby. They said the baby will stay with mom the whole way up to the post partum room and then the post partum rooms have special sinks made to give the baby it's first bath. So baby can stay with mom the whole time.
It was fun taking the tour. We didn't tour the rest of the hospital. We had our 3 younger kids with us and they didn't like walking around.

The granddaughter of two local legends has organized an exhibit that showcases her family's rich history.
Tara Gail Bostwick has gathered memorabilia that reflects the life and successes of her grandparents, prominent equestrians Pete and Dolly Van Stade Bostwick. Those items are currently on display at the Aiken County Historical Museum.
Bostwick, 22, is a senior at the USC Aiken and a Magellan Scholar. The Magellan Scholar program is implemented through USC and awards up to $3,000 for faculty-mentored undergraduate research projects.
Bostwick decided to delve into her family history.
"The goal for me is not only to pursue research but to preserve this legacy," Bostwick said.
As part of the Magellan Scholarship research, Bostwick looked at the Irish influence on equestrian sports in Aiken and also archived the library of her father, Charlie Bostwick.
Pete Bostwick, who passed away in 1982, was a horse trainer, steeplechase jockey and polo player. He was also a member of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. His granddaughter said that she also learned in her research that he was the first steeplechase trainer to gross $1 million in horse earnings.
"He's like everything that I want to be in life and I never got to meet him," said Bostwick who is also an equestrian. "This is my way to connect with him and bring him back to life."
Bostwick also learned more about her grandmother and didn't realize she was so prominent in the equestrian world. She found a cartoon of Dolly Van Stade that claimed she was the one of the best horse women in the country.
Bostwick said that before her grandparents married, Dolly Van Stade's horses would sometimes compete against Pete Bostwick's horses.
Photographs, newspaper clippings, trophies, tiny equestrian figurines and other items are part of the exhibit. Bostwick said she's very excited to see it all come together.
Museum Executive Director Elliott Levy said it's exciting to have such an exhibit, especially since much of what is on displayed has never been viewed by the public. Levy said the Bostwick family is "very close to the vest" in Aiken's history.

CAMP PHOENIX, Afghanistan, March 15, 2005 The United States can't win the global war on terrorism all by itself, a senior DoD official noted here today, drawing on conclusions from recent discussions among the department's top policy specialists.
"Much of what the United States wants to see done in the world for our own national security purposes, and specifically with regard to the war on terrorism, are things that can be done as a practical manner only by other countries," Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas J. Feith told reporters at a Pentagon briefing.
Feith and Navy Rear Adm. William Sullivan, vice director of the Joint Staff's strategic plans and policy shop, rolled out the department's new National Defense Strategy and National Military Strategy.
The NDS is Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's guidance to the department, Feith said, on how to support and implement President Bush's National Security Strategy established in September 2002.
The NDS, Feith noted, also forms the basis for the department's Quadrennial Defense Review process. The QDR examines the types of military capabilities needed to support the NDS. The next QDR is slated for completion in February 2006.
The armed forces' National Military Strategy supports the NDS and contains both secret and unclassified material, Feith explained.
Feith noted the new NDS contains three main ideas:
-- the need to deal with strategic uncertainly that has followed the end of the Cold War;
-- the value of early measures and actions that can prevent crisis from becoming wars; and
-- the importance of building partnerships with other countries.Some nations friendly to the United States have terrorists within their borders, Feith pointed out. Under this scenario, he noted, "the only way that action can be taken effectively against those terrorist enemies is if it's taken by the governments of the countries where they are located."
In fact, "international cooperation is crucial to our fighting the war on terrorism," Feith asserted, noting it's important for the United States to reach out and seek dialogue with nations with terrorist problems and to offer assistance.
Such assistance, he said, may involve law enforcement, civil administration or intelligence assets, as well as military training and other aid.
The U.S. government, Feith pointed out, "has an interest in helping enable these other countries to be able to work with us" in defeating global terrorism.
DoD's new strategy documents, Feith said, will assist the department in safeguarding Americans' freedom and way of life.
Later in the day at an interview with the Pentagon Channel, Feith expressed hope that DoD planners "are doing as good a job on the strategy level as our forces are doing out there on the front lines, because they're doing a brilliant job."
