i have only had my ipad for less than 2 weeks but already it is my go to web browser, it used to be my laptop but its too bulky, especially in the evenings on the sofa, now i dont even unpack my laptop when i get home from work, its straight onto the ipad.
Laptop only comes out when i need to sync
Poll: iPhone, iPad, or PC for browsing the web?
What's your absolute favorite device for browsing the web -- iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or your Mac or Windows PC? I'm a little torn myself.
The iPhone is great when I'm out and about and have no other options, but it's small and doesn't support Flash, and it's not a fast experience.
iPad is big and beautiful and I love it for reading and relaxing but it also doesn't support Flash and I can't type on it as fast as I need to for things like blogging here on TiPb.
My 11-inch MacBook Air is portable but not really mobile, so I don't have it always when I need it, but when I do it can handle every kind of web page imaginable and has a keyboard so I can easily whip up posts like this.
(We have an iMac in the house, but I almost never use it.)
If you had to pick one -- if you were stranded on Internet Survivor Island and could have only a single device with you for browsing the web -- what would it be, iPhone, iPad, or PC?
Vote up in the poll and tell me why in the comments! I'll reveal my answer on the next podcast!

Poll: iPhone, iPad, or PC for browsing the web?
i have only had my ipad for less than 2 weeks but already it is my go to web browser, it used to be my laptop but its too bulky, especially in the evenings on the sofa, now i dont even unpack my laptop when i get home from work, its straight onto the ipad.
I have blocked Flash on all of my computers for almost a decade now. It is a non-issue. If a site requires Flash, I simply use a different site. There are so many options now that you only lose business by requiring Flash. I always send an email to the sitet though. Used to be I would either get no reply, or get a "thank you but we won't change" reply. But since the popularity of the iPhone and iPad these last couple years I have noticed sites are starting to reply with "a non-Flash site is in the works". So the future looks bright!
Interesting that you would even be reading, let alone commenting on "The iPhone Blog: the #1 iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch blog". Welcome! Everyone is welcome here!
My home pc has become obsolete. I only use it to sync my idevices and store my files. When I'm home, I use my iPad exclusively for web browsing. Obviously, I use my iPhone for browsing on the go. At work, I use the pc a little more often for browsing, but that's only when I'm sitting at my desk working on something.
My idevices have completely reshaped the way I browse and consume information...and watch TV. I forgot to mention that I use my apple tv for YouTube and netflix just about as much as I use my cable box. It's hard to believe that before I got an iPhone 1 in dec. of 2007, I hadn't owned even an iPod. Now I'm saving up for a MacBook pro.
I have an iPad and think it's great but not the best for web browsing. I am constantly annoyed by websites where the scroll function is messed up and the whole "two-finger" drag does not work as well as you'd think. It is almost more irritable trying to get the multi-touch dragging to work than not at all. I still prefer my Windows-based browsing or my OSX or Linux
Before buying an iPad Touch, I was on the computer daily checking emails, and searching. I now only use it may be once a week. Everything else can be done on the iPod. I am waiting for the iPhone 5, and will also get the current iPad 2 or 3. Off subject, when is apple going to drop the numbers? In the distant future, will there be an iPhone 15, or iPad 27? I guess by then it will just be called the iPhone, or iPad.
Georgia- Seriously, who gives a crap about flash. I don't even want to hear about how the iPad doesn't support it.
I prefer the iPad for browsing.
Productivity decrease when using ipad for web browsing.. its great for news, but tasks take longer when using it for web.. not to mention its slooooooower..
YOu should just instead refer to it as the "iPad nano". That's what my email sig says. :P
I love these people who say oh i dont use flash its not a need ur right its not needed buy its for sure a want i wont get the ipad because it dosent have flash end of story and i know alot of people who agree just not isheep
I simply hate flash. Always have. Since long before I ever touched an Apple product - so it has nothing to do with being iSheep.
It is visually unappealing. It is processor hungry (even on Windows PCs). It is used by people who should not be designing applications, and as such almost every Flash app violates user interface guidelines. Flash ads are distracting and un-needed. Flash has many security concerns, and poor privacy tools. Flash content for websites rarely follow standard interface paradigms making each website more confusing for novice users (like grandma and grandpa). Flash is not ADA compliant, and works poorly with screen readers or color-blindness settings. Flash does not allow for proper indexing and search-ability. Flash is a proprietary format controlled by a single company (Adobe).
Anything that can be done in Flash can be done in HTML 5.
Flashblock is an old, established, and well appreciated and highly used browser plugin - having nothing to do with iProducts. The only thing I am thankful for from the iProducts is that they have made not using Flash mainstream.
Seems to me like the only "sheep" are the ones who blindly latch on to Flash because it has "Farmville" or whatever (even though the iProducts have like 100,000 just as useless time wasters).
iOS is an operating system, required to use an iDevice. Flash is a web product expected to be used by anyone anywhere on any device. Completely different situations.
Flash has an open and standard alternative in HTML 5. iOS, and even Android in very specific flavours are required to run hardware.
You can use a website with any device, but you can't run an iPad with any OS. If you don't like iOS you are free to buy a different product. But websites are in the business of attracting users - and the best way to do that is with standardized and compatible technologies.
"You can use a website with any device"
I can't use a Flash website with a device that doesn't support Flash. And since more devices support Flash than don't and most non-tech businesses don't care to spend more money on redundant development than they have to, a lot of web sites still only offer Flash interactive media.
...I think I love you...
After 2 years of browsing on iDevices®, I can sincerely say that lack of Flash has never been a big deal with respect to what I normally do on-line. Have I hit a few sites what I got a "you need Flash" notice? Sure, but not on any site I really wanted or needed to access.
I have a Windows PC and I accept the numerous Flash updates that pop up every few days (I'm a slave to any update), but I've never once run to that computer to see what I was missing by not having Flash on my iPad. Maybe if I played a lot of on-line Flash based games I would feel different, but until someone points me to a site filled with Flash required awesomness, I'll continue to roll my eyes every time someone says "but you don't have Flash". Yeah I do (on my PC), and it's even the latest version, but I honestly don't care.
One thing I feel is that the iPad was a product that no one knew what it was or how to use it. iOS 3 and iOS 4 were predominantly iPhone and iPod oriented and as such combined with the newness of the iPad - made it kind of a strange thing. However the iPad took off like gangbusters.
I am pretty sure that iOS 5 will have a much better feel for where it wants to be, especially with regard to pad type devices. We are just now starting to understand how a pad device like the iPad (or competitors) can and will be used - and what it is good for. So the OSs and the apps will start to come into their own this next year and they will be MUCH more stiff competition for the PC.
Additionally, our company is now developing all of our web products with iOS as part of the core strategy and design. This was something we hadn't done before this year. Our previous versions of web products bordered on unusable on iOS or Android platforms but our new products in the pipeline now will be fully designed for the new "mobile" space. I bet a lot of companies are doing the same - and as such we will see the usability of devices like an iPad get better and better, and the need for most users to have a PC will diminish. As it is pretty much the only thing I do on my PC anymore is work and photo organization+storage.
I can't remember the last time I ran into Flash... so it's not really EVERYWHERE...
If you want it to be more obvious when you're "running into" Flash you could set your browser to not auto-load page plugins. My browser shows a "play" button for every Flash element on a page and requires me to click that button to actually load the element.
Well, if I were really stranded on an island, chances are I'd have no reception (as there'd be no cell towers) and no way to charge up my iPhone's battery, so it'd be kinda pointless to have it with me for any real length of time, except maybe to signal a passing plane or ship (There's probably an app for that too. LOL). But assuming I could still get a signal and charge it up somehow (like maybe with a solar charger), it'd have to be my iPhone 4, as it's the only device I have. Since I've had it, I don't even use my 24" iMac that much anymore, as I do the vast majority of my web browsing and e-mailing on my iPhone when I'm out and about. AT&T provides pretty solid reception in my area, so my browsing speeds over 3G are plenty quick enough. So my iMac has become relegated to being a big docking station (a "home base," if you like) for my iPhone, for synching with iTunes, watching something on the big screen (when I actually have time to!), or doing the heavy-duty stuff my iPhone simply can't do as well or efficiently, e.g. editing long documents, video, audio, & photos. I've ended up using my iPhone for way more things than I ever thought I would, so my iMac tends to sit unused for a week or more, and I end up having to dust it off. LOL Now I'm seriously considering selling it and replacing it with a MacBook Pro, since it's portable and outperforms my nearly 3-year-old iMac anyway. Later...
She did mention you would be stranded on an island with internet.
But if we WERE talking about being stranded on a deserted island and what we'd want I'd have to say a sat phone with GPS link and solar charging panel so I can be found easily!
Oh, OK. I guess that was implied by "Internet Survivor Island." Got it... And yeah, a sat phone with GPS and a solar charger would be ideal for that kind of situation.
Was the point of splitting up the different PC operating system options to fice the iPad an artificial lead? Otherwise, if you were going to do that you should have at least thrown in Android Tablets as an option.
With only one to choose from, I'd have to take the Mac. I bounce back and forth between tabs and windows frequently, and neither the iPad nor the iPhone do that well (nor are they trying to). Flash is a bonus, I suppose, but not a big deal either way for me.
Like macboy15, I use my Mac for "power" browsing, and iDevices for lighter tasks. I am actually surprised by how little I use my iPad even for those lighter tasks -- it is better browsing experience than my iPhone, to be sure, but most of the time, when I am away from my computer, I already have my iPhone in my pocket, and I can do what I want to do on it well enough that I do not bother to go over and pick up the iPad.
Exactly; I'm away from my iMac most of the time, and I almost always have my iPhone with me, so I do the bulk of my web browsing and e-mailing on it. If I had an iPad, I'd use it more than my iMac as it's portable, but I'd still end up using my iPhone more than the iPad as it's almost always with me in my holster.
I think the answer splinters into task related directions and will evolve over time as this is really becoming more of an app issue. For news/information the iPad is hands down winner. I use News360 and Flipboard a lot...makes scanning for articles easy and the iPad allows me read away from home, in the kitchen, during my daily constitutional, everywhere. But for general browser related searches/surfing, the desktop/laptop is much easier...larger screen to accommodate the page better and a real keyboard.
Bottom line is that we are an impatient society that yearns to be spoiled and will flip allegiance to the app/device that gives us the biggest warm and fuzzy. I think that iOS will evolve along with its apps and within the near future the desktop/laptop will become the specialized device that Jobs talked about a year ago. Add voice-to-text as an input option and there will no turning back from the iPad...though it will be another one of those devices that has us all walking about like homeless people mumbling to ourselves. Better yet, the brain implant that lets us communicate directly with all our devices....I for one welcome our new computer overlords.
I chose other simply because I will surf on whatever device is handy. If I'm sitting at my iMac I use my it. The same goes for the iPad. If I'm completely mobile I use my iPhone. The iPhone is my least favorite way to surf. The iPad has spoiled me in that regard.
Definitely PC, for now at least. I would love to say the ipad, but there are so many compatibility issues, mainly flash. Im quite tired of not being able to view a website because of what they use, and I hate that apple expects the world to convert to their preferences. The web offers a wide variety of formats for many things, and I hate that the ipad is only compatible with some of them.
You guys must not have the need to type while surfing the web. Because if you did you'd realize that the best way to surf is a pc or mac..or eventually a chromebook. I think people are forcing it to confesss their love for the ipad. The greatest thing about the ipad is ease of use of the tablet optimized apps. The layouts are beautiful and functional but its definitely not better for surfing the web

Chairman Donald Black left no doubt at the Sept. 28 meeting that the group would revert back to the Jones County People Looking Ahead Now Housing Committee from which it began and continue working.
Jones County's application to become a GICH team was accepted in 2009 and was supported by county commissioners and Gray's City Council. Black visited each of the boards at their September meetings to express the team's appreciation of their continued support.
The GICH team recently attended its final retreat in Cartersville and had the pleasure of announcing the receipt of a $385,000 Community Development Block Grant housing grant.
The funds will be used to improve 10 homes in the Jefferson Street neighborhood in Gray.
The first agenda item for last week's meeting was a presentation from Evelyn Hill about the Idella Duncan School project in Haddock. Hill said since the last committee meeting, a board of directors for the project has been formed. She said surveys have been sent out in the community and positive responses were received.

He Said, She Said: 10 Dating Red Flags You've Probably Never Considered
He Said, She Said: 10 Dating Red Flags You've Probably Never Considered
We love the guys behind the new site 100redflags.com. They crack us up on a daily basis with their rationales behind what women do that stop some men dead in their dating tracks. We'd be lying if we didn't tell you we were appalled by a few of their so-called red flags, but they swear there's merit behind each one. To prove it, we asked them to join us for a little debate here. Read their takes and ours—then make your own decision.SEE MORE
Dating Red Flag: Keeping Your Age a SecretHe Says: When we encounter a woman who's hesitant to share her age, we assume her life is on a strict, predetermined time line and her biological clock is ticking. We're concerned she'll want to define the relationship after three weeks and get engaged after three months. That's a pressure cooker most of us would rather avoid.
Dating Red Flag: Keeping Your Age a SecretShe Says: We don't ask you how big your penis is—and if we did, we bet you'd lie, so don't ask us about our age.
Dating Red Flag: Getting BangsHe Says: Bangs say to us that a woman is trying too hard to convey her intellectuality. When we're approaching women, we'd rather not have to discuss Freudian theory, Milan Fashion Week or the long-term effects of sexual harassment in the workplace. Almost every woman with bangs we've ever met has a screw or two loose. Any sane person would realize that bangs are great for an '80s party but horrible for getting laid.
Dating Red Flag: Getting BangsShe Says: Bangs are hot right now. I have bangs. I don't have a screw loose or the desire to wax poetic about Freudian theory. And my sex life is fine, thankyouverymuch.
Dating Red Flag: Wearing a Perfectly Matching Outfit to the Gym
He Says: Women who wear matching outfits to the gym are too concerned with their appearance. Working out is like sex—it's meant to be a little dirty. The whole point of going to the gym is to focus on improving your body and overall health, and a woman with a matching outfit is too hung up on what others think. We want a woman who has deep confidence in herself, and we'll bet on the girl who is a little more conservatively dressed.
NOTE: This doesn't mean we won't still be creepy and stare at you. We will.
Dating Red Flag: Wearing a Perfectly Matching Outfit to the GymShe Says: Dude, you should feel lucky we're going to the gym at all. You reap those benefits too, don't you? And if it takes a cute ensemble to motivate us, why do you care? Looking cute at the gym makes us feel good about ourselves and usually has nothing to do with what men think.
Dating Red Flag: Declining to CookHe Says: Cooking has become a shared task in the American household with men expected to contribute. But as far as dating goes, it's wise for women to demonstrate their culinary chops early in the relationship, as we quickly grow attached to women with cooking skills. Seeing as how most guys' culinary skills are limited to a microwave and a George Foreman, we'll be happy with just about anything.
Dating Red Flag: Declining to CookShe Says: We'll concede (and avoid mentioning how very 1950s it all sounds) on this, as long as you agree to do the same for us.
Dating Red Flag: Having an Abnormal Amount of Pink PossessionsHe Says: Pink says to men that she's immature and potentially clinging to a youthful period of innocence that no longer exists. Immature women tend to be very clingy in the early stages of dating, especially if sex is involved. At some point we want to settle down in a committed relationship, but we also don't want to be forced to make that decision right after sex.
Dating Red Flag: Having an Abnormal Amount of Pink PossessionsShe Says: We get where you're going with this, but some chicks just really dig the color pink, and it doesn't mean they're stage-five clingers. In fact, often we worry that we'll have to get rid of all our pink stuff when we move in with a man, so we try to get it out of our system before that happens. Your future self will thank us when you're not sleeping on a hot pink pillowcase.
Dating Red Flag: Playing the One-Upper CardHe Says: Feeling overlooked, the one-upper overcompensates by telling exaggerated stories to outdo the stories being told by others in the conversation. One-upsmanship is usually a male pastime that's done in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. It's not meant to be serious. Not only does a woman generally play the game all wrong, but it also makes us wonder if we'll always be second fiddle. Competition and leadership are at our core, but we're not looking to constantly compete with the women we date.
Dating Red Flag: Playing the One-Upper CardShe Says: Anything we say here seems sorta like we're trying to one-up you, doesn't it? Kidding, kidding. You guys didn't invent the concept, though we agree that one-upping is annoying in general—no matter who is doing it. We just want to throw out an alternate theory about why some women do it: They're trying to make a good impression on you and your friends. Cut 'em some slack, OK?
Dating Red Flag: Checking Your Cell Phone ConstantlyHe Says: Dudes tend to use their phones to be useful (directions, sports scores, looking up the origin of random phrases), but when we see a woman constantly check her phone, we know she's either on Facebook, tweeting or checking text messages. The constant phone-checker reminds us of those vapid dinner conversations filled with awkward silences with women who might seem like the full package on the outside but are actually empty on the inside.
Dating Red Flag: Checking Your Cell Phone ConstantlyShe Says: Obsessive phone checking—done by a guy or a girl—is rude. As long as you promise not to check the score of the game every two minutes, we'll put our phones away as well.
Dating Red Flag: Submitting a Reality-TV ApplicationHe Says: We've all thought about submitting an application to be on a reality show, but for most, it's a passing thought. Still others get a little bit further and look into the application process. But if someone gets so far as to go through an entire submission, there has to be something going on. She might be trying to become famous. She might be desperate. But if she thinks it's a positive life choice to hand over her life's reins to a TV producer, she won't be dating us.
Dating Red Flag: Submitting a Reality-TV ApplicationShe Says: Agree, with one exception: If she's older than 30 and submitted an application 10 years ago, she may not have known what she was getting into at the time.
Dating Red Flag: Wearing a Slutty Halloween CostumeHe Says: Slutty Halloween costumes say to us that she craves attention and is comfortable indulging in high-risk behavior at least once a year. We prefer long-term relationships with women who are flirtatious and sensual in private but modest in public.
Dating Red Flag: Wearing a Slutty Halloween CostumeShe Says: Oh, c'mon—it's the one night a year we can wear whatever we want and other girls won't judge us. Enjoy it and don't ruin it.
Dating Red Flag: Patting Your Pizza Down With a NapkinHe Says: First dates are a poor time to introduce us to the notion that she might gain weight if she consumes a tiny bit of oil. Not to mention that pizza-patting is a painstaking process to watch that usually ends up with the girl busting apart the pristine top layer of cheese. To us, destroying the aesthetics of a pizza slice is akin to defacing the "Mona Lisa"—she's ruining fine artwork. We also get frustrated when we're the ones who get stuck throwing away the disgusting ball of napkins created by the pizza blotting.
Dating Red Flag: Patting Your Pizza Down With a NapkinShe Says: For some women, blotting the excess grease off their pizza is akin to putting their napkin in their lap—they've been doing it for so long it's practically a subconscious act. But, yeah, we'll try our best not to ruin your pizzacaso.

Last weeks cookie was quinoa cloud cookies. I have never used quinoa flour. Nor have I ever toasted my flour. Happy to try something new. I also used a really delicious chocolate bar that I have been holding onto for the perfect use. And this was pretty much it.
Just as expected no cute little cloud cookie cutter in my "cookie cutter collection". I seem to have a lot of holiday cutters.
I thought about cutting them into the shape of butterflies or stars and moons or flowers, but in the end opted for a plain old circle. Mostly because it was my grandmothers. And since I don't really use cookie cutters all that often, I wanted to use hers.
I packed the last of these in lunches this morning.... as I packed my last round of lunches of the '09-'10 school year! A half day tomorrow is all we have.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The military's top leaders are warning Congress that automatic spending cuts looming in March would force the Pentagon to slash operating budgets, weakening the armed forces and possibly forcing furloughs of 800,000 civilian employees.
The Joint Chiefs said in a letter to Congress that the cuts would create a "hollow force" and would require aircraft to be grounded and warships to return to port.
Troops on the front lines would continue to receive the support they need, despite a cut to the Pentagon's overall budget of more than 7 percent, the chiefs said. But those cuts feel more like 20 percent because they're crammed into the second half of the budget year and funding for uniformed personnel and combat operations is exempt.
"Should this looming readiness crisis be left unaddressed, we will have to ground aircraft, return ships to port, and stop driving combat vehicles in training," said the Jan. 14 letter from Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey and his colleagues. "We are also now planning for the potential to furlough nearly 800,000 defense civilians who are essential to critical functions like maintenance, intelligence, logistics, contracting, and health care."
The looming cuts are the price to pay for the failure of a 2011 budget "supercommittee" to agree to deficit cuts to replace the automatic reductions.
There's a growing sense of resignation that the country's political leaders will be unable or unwilling to find a way around looming automatic cuts to both the Pentagon and domestic agencies even though there's common agreement that the cuts would threaten the recovering economy.
The biggest impact for the Pentagon would be training and readiness spending.
"The readiness of our armed forces is at a tipping point," the letter said. "We are on the brink of creating a hollow force."
Conservative Republicans, once among the loudest voices against the so-called sequester, now see the painfully large cuts as leverage in their battle to force Democrats into concessions on the budget.
The predictable deadlock – and looming cuts of $85 billion this budget year alone – has the potential to slam the economy, produce sweeping furloughs and layoffs at federal agencies and threaten hundreds of thousands of private sector jobs.
GOP states and congressional districts would bear the brunt of the $43 billion in cuts to defense, however, so it's unclear how much leverage Republicans really would have.

What Are You Looking For?
I've always been inexplicably drawn to old churches in the small, hard to reach villages of Mexico. There's something about the simplicity of these churches that projects a profound poignancy I've experienced nowhere else. Absent are the shiny brass offering plates, the leather songbooks full of hope, and in their place stands people resigned to […] [Read More]

It's impossible to purchase clothes for working out, training, or playing sports today without coming across all kinds of "technical fabrics".
Using construction materials that are as close to space-age as anything that we've ever had access to before, technical clothes are supposed to help you squeeze extra levels of power in performance out of your athletic abilities just by wearing them.
But can the clothes you wear actually help you run faster, jump higher, hit harder, or workout longer?
You had better believe they can!
Compression clothing really ushered in this wave of technical clothing
If there is a single moment where technical clothing really started to take off, the crack in the dam (if you will) started when compression clothing really started to become more popular with athletes.
Tight fitting clothing usually manufactured out of a high-strength, but lightweight material like nylon or polyester (spandex is also used frequently), compression clothing is designed and developed from the ground up to help improve your circulation, avoid cramps and dehydration, and (later in the game) with wick away moisture and sweat so that you stay cool and dry.
There have been compression clothing options on the market for more than 30 or 40 years, but it wasn't really until Under Armour exploded onto the scene in the mid-2000s to the late 2000s that everything started to change.
Originally manufacturing lightweight clothing that "hugged" the human body while at the same time keeping you warm in cold weather, keeping you cool in warm weather, and making sure that you stayed dry all the time by wicking moisture and sweat away from your body faster than you ever would have thought possible – all while at the same time "compressing" your muscles to maximize performance – Under Armour has become a sports clothing juggernaut on par with Nike and other major industry titans.
The future of technical clothing
It seems like every single day manufacturers are finding new ways to blend older fabrics with modern technology (or synthesize brand-new materials seemingly out of thin air) to create stunning results and incredible performance enhancement capabilities that they then integrate into their clothing.
Technical clothing is getting lighter and lighter but stronger and more durable, and scientists are even finding ways to impregnate these incredibly lightweight but breathable fabrics with waterproofing compounds, heat transferring capabilities, and all kinds of other advantages and advancements that give our modern day athletes and incredible edge and advantage that they wouldn't have had otherwise.
It's impossible to say what technical clothing will look like in the future for athletes, but it's not difficult to imagine that these kinds of clothing are only going to get more and more effective as time goes on.
Pretty soon we should be able to see "second skin" solutions hit the market, lightweight technical clothing options that feel lighter than air while at the same time providing incredible performance bonuses and boosts we won't be able to get anywhere else.
It's coming sooner rather than later.

Where's the Monday Brief? Or: 4K is hard!
It began, as many things do with an idea -- we had our Monday Brief host, Ashley Esqueda in NYC for #TM13, along with all our site editors, Kevin Michaluk, Phil Nickinson, and Daniel Rubino, yours truly, and Georgia, and we had Martin Reisch and his RED Scarlet 4K camera. So, we figured "why not shoot the Monday Brief in 4K!". And therein began the longest Odyssey in Monday Brief history.
If you're not familiar with 4K, it's what they're calling Ultra HD, but is really just 2160p, or double again 1080p resolution. Picture four 1080p TVs in a square, and that's 4K.
The shooting itself went pretty well, with Ashley and Georgia kicking things off, and Kevin doing his best to finish the show with a bang. Then things started getting complicated. Turns out it takes a long, long, long time edit and render 4K video, and a really long time to upload it.
The first attempt needed some fixing, so now we're on attempt two, and it's taking even longer.
Maybe it was hubris to even try, and this is our wings melting off, and our tumble back to earth. But we like being audacious at times. We like trying new technology and new workflows. And we like bring you along for the ride with us.
You should see the results later today -- fingers very firmly crossed -- and we can talk about the pros and cons, how far along 4K is, and how close to a reality 4K programming is.
We'll absolutely get you your MoNa MoBr fix just as soon as possible! Apologies for the delay, but... SCIENCE!

Where's the Monday Brief? Or: 4K is hard!
Thanks for the update, Rene! I was wondering what happened. I love how you guys are always willing to try new stuff. Keep it up!
I'm curious as to how much bigger the filesize is than regular HD. You'd think 4x as much but I wasn't sure how much compression enters into the equation. That is increased bandwidth needed on the client side. Bad for data caps, bad for the amount of time to buffer before watching the video (maybe), good for resolution.
Any chance you can stick a higher quality copy of the Monday Brief on a file-sharing site? YouTube compresses "4K" video so much, it's disappointing to even refer to it as that.
This should be Interesting. I can't wait for the video.

I went here eSutures.com - the Suture Superstore
I found them very helpfull on the phone and the kit was not expensive in my opinion.
I ordered a box of 12 sets, 3-0, 19mm, 3/8 round, cosmetic cut, 18" long nylon. tripple packed in an alcohal bath. Thies will be great for most any simple close up. I.E. accidental saw or knife cut. if I were to fall and split my knee thies will work great to hold the flap closed. if I have to remove a foreign object like a large splinter thies will again work great to close it up. Allmost anytime I need to do a simple close up.
In the past I have used a strong carpet thread and a straight needle, it worked ok BUT any job is better with the proper tools. Hopefully I will not need them again but I have them if I do.
maby this will be helpfull so someone here.

MMANEWS.COM | MMANews.com Announces New Partnership With Muscle Geeks
Musle Geeks: Cheap prices on No-Xlpode, Muscle Milk, Syntha-6, and Superpump 250
MMAnews.com is proud to announce a new partnership with Muscle Geeks, a new online retailer thats turning the supplement industry upside down. Whatever preconceived notions you had about supplement retailers before, forget them. A new retailer is making a lot of noise in the $22 billion industry, and its first target market: the MMA community.
Muscle Geeks, a supplement retailer ran by a couple of average Joes from the Midwest, is doing almost everything backwards when it comes to the supplement business. Not only that, but theyre defying the odds and succeeding. High mark-ups? Forget about it. $1.99 over cost on every product 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Shady, biased advice? Hell no. No bull advice from their team of medical professionals, personal trainers, and MMA fighters. Huge profits? Nope. Every cent is put back into the Muscle Geeks community so they can continue to grow. CEOs, CFOs, and owners? Not exactly. More like leaders. We really dont even know if they fit the true definition of a business. Truthfully, they closer resemble a buying group.
Dr. T.J. Allan, Pharm.D, the founding father of Muscle Geeks, admitted, Were really not like any business model out there. Were actually a mixture of several types of business models: Costcos membership fees and commitment to low prices, Zappos exceptional customer service, and Dana Whites brash, no-bull leadership. In fact, we really consider ourselves a community as opposed to a business. We learn just as much from our members as they do from us. It works out great.
When asked what separates Muscle Geeks from the other supplement retailers, he quickly points out theres more differences than similarities. Were not in it for the money. As funny as that sounds, its true. When every other retailer wants to make between 20-30% on every product sold, weve marked every product up $1.99 over our cost. Even as we grow and our volume increases which in turn will result in bigger and bigger discounts from the supplement manufacturers, our prices will continue to be $1.99 over our cost. Our savings are passed directly to our members. Eventually, as we grow, our prices will be ridiculously low. In fact, our goal is to sell BSNs NO-Xlpode for $26.00 and get our markup down to $0.99 over our cost. And if a member questions our cost, well gladly show them our invoice. We firmly believe honesty and transparency should be top priorities for any business. So maybe youre right. We probably are more similar to a buying group than an actual business.
Price isnt our only difference. Were most proud of our commitment to the truth. Theres so much BS regarding supplements that the typical consumer is drowned by it. They dont know what to believe. Our first article on our blog was dedicated to uncovering the lies surrounding nitric oxide products. Show me another supplement retailer thats willing to bash its own best seller and in turn hurt its sales. Was it a dumb business move? Probably, but Id do it again because our members loved it. They deserve to know the truth. Our second blog article was devoted to cutting supplement costs. Will that hurt our annual sales? More than likely because now we wont be selling those $40-50 products that promise everything and deliver nothing. But it really doesnt make a difference because we only make $1.99 on every product. So to us, a $40 sale is equivalent to a $10 sale. Do we still carry those $40 products? Of course, we carry almost every product known to man. Some people you just cant convince theyre wasting their money.
So why focus on MMA? Well, for one, were huge fans. Our lead sales Geek formerly worked at Matt Hughes HIT Squad gym. Ive written for Fight ! magazine on several occasions, and will be writing for them a lot more in the future. Ive also been watching the UFC since the old tournament days. So why not target a market were already comfortable with. Secondly, and this is purely from a business standpoint, fighters depend on their bodies. Like every other professional athlete out there, some may actually argue even more so, nutrition and supplementation are of paramount importance to a MMA fighters success. On top of that, especially among young MMA fighters, theres not a lot of room to waste money. Pete, our lead sales Geek, has seen it firsthand. During the beginning, a fighters lifestyle is not so glamorous. Training two to three times a day, living in a dorm, and paying normal every day bills put a lot of financial and emotional strain on a young guy. So why add an overpriced supplement that may or may not work? I dont think theres a better target market out there for us.
So, if our members need to know just one thing about Muscle Geeks, what would it be? Its really simple. Were pooling our buying power together so we can drive down supplement prices. Every product we sell is always only $1.99 over our cost. Right now, overall, were the cheapest supplement retailer on the planet. There are some cases where a supplement may be cheaper here or there, and if thats the case, great. Well buy it from that competitor and ship it to you. However, overall, no one is close to our prices. And a year from now, when were at 10,000 members, well be selling NO-Xlpode for $26, a 5 lb container of Syntha6 for $30, and a 5 lb container of Muscle Milk for $39. No one and I repeat no one will be able to compete with us. We promise we will relentlessly pursue the lowest possible prices possible. And all of our savings will be passed directly to our members. Were already constantly negotiating with manufacturers. The more members we have behind us, the more power well have. For $4 per month, you cant beat it. And if you can, well refund your money at the end of the year. Thats our Muscle Geek Guarantee. If youre already buying supplements from another retailer, why not combine our buying power and get ridiculously low prices and save a ton of money?
For more information on Muscle Geeks, please see our Nutrition and Training Forum, as well as their website Musle Geeks: Cheap prices on No-Xlpode, Muscle Milk, Syntha-6, and Superpump 250.

Friends and family of former Councilman Enrique Barrera, and the San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department celebrated the opening of the Enrique M. Barrera Community Center, 5800 Old Highway 90 West, on March 7, 2008.
The center was part of a larger project in which the former Levi Strauss & Co. sewing plant was converted into office space for Parks and Recreation Department administrative, recreation, maintenance, warehouse and park police academy. The headquarters opened earlier the same year. The request to name the center for the former councilman came from Councilwoman Delicia Herrera. Barrera was appointed to the City Council in 2000 and later won popular election for two terms, serving until 2005. He was an ordained deacon at San Fernando Cathedral. He also served on the Edgewood Independent School District Board of Trustees from 1978 to 1990.
The 22,000 square foot community center features a wellness component with fitness as its focus. It includes a fitness room with cardio equipment and weights, and an aerobics studio where dance classes such as zumba and jazzercise are offered.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Land of Israel is a special, sacred place for those who believe in the Bible. Like the ingathering of the Jewish people into the land of Israel, the restoration of the land itself is the unfolding of prophecy.
When Israel's restoration began, the land was largely barren. Today it is fully of lush green forests lovingly planted by the Jewish National Fund. There is still much work to do. What better way to participate in the restoration of the Land of Israel than by planting a tree.
Partner with the JNF to complete the reforestation of the Promised Land.
On Friday, January 24th, Israelis celebrated Tu Bishvat, the "new year of the trees," and local Messianic schoolkids in Jerusalem got an early start on the tree planting that typically accompanies the holiday. Israel Today joined schoolchildren in Jerusalem working to replant the land

The executive director of Saint Frances Animal Center has resigned.
Wendy Goude submitted her resignation to the animal shelters board of directors Aug. 12, according to board President Brad Floyd. He said she worked at SFAC for about three years.
Our understanding was that she wanted to pursue other ventures, Floyd said. She said that it was a personal decision for her and she had wanted to pursue other areas that may or may not be within the animal welfare industry.
Floyd said SFAC will be sad to see Goude go.
We, the board, are extremely grateful for the time, energy and passion that Wendy exhibited as an executive director.
Saint Frances reached a number of new heights with regard to animal placement and with regard to reduction of euthanasia while she was the executive director.
While we are sad to see her leave the organization, we wish her the very best with this next chapter. We are so thankful for all shes done.
Floyd said Goude did express a desire to stay involved with SFAC as a community member.
He called her resignation an amicable situation, it was not confrontational at all.
Moving forward, Floyd said the board wants to complete a needs assessment to determine the most prudent course of action for the organization at this point.
In the meantime, he said the board is relying on the management staff to continue operations as expected.
Goude could not be reached for comment.

Chocolate Made of Coffee: KA-POW! by Sahagún Chocolates
Though not indigenous to the same region, coffee and cacao plants have long been closely linked, courtesy of both an overlapping trajectory of transplanting and the almost startlingly similar set of processing steps it takes to transform each into the treats we love. Portland, Oregon micro-chocolatier Sahagún has taken chocolate and coffee's connection one step further with the cheekily named KA-POW! bar, in which single-origin coffee beans replace the traditional roasted cacao.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer should act now to reform the stamp duty land tax (SDLT) regime for those looking to get a foot on the property ladder as the average property prices continue to rise, says ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
With average house prices now at £250,000, ACCA has said that the stamp duty risks preventing first-time buyers from owning a home and that properties with a value below £500,000 should be subject to a fairer stamp duty system.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury, ACCA head of taxation, said: 'The cliff edge nature of SDLT has always been very hard to justify, especially at the lower end of the market where young people are taking their first baby steps to get on the housing ladder. With house prices on the rise and lenders loosening the manacles on mortgage lending, this will become an even bigger obstacle for homebuyers.
'While we can understand to some extent that the Government wishes to protect its revenue stream from housing transactions so will not wish to offer any tax reductions at the higher end of house prices we propose that a new system be applied to properties below £500,000. Under that system, the tax would be staged so that 1% tax is paid on the value between £125,000 and £250,000 and 3% on the value between £250,001 and £500,000, in much the same way as income tax.
'On a property worth £500,000 the total stamp duty today, under the current system would be £15,000. Under our proposals it would be £8,750, saving the buyer up to £6,250.'
Personal allowance warning
ACCA has warned that a further rise in the personal tax allowance in the Budget won't necessarily mean more available income for working families, as more and more people are being caught in 40 per cent income tax bracket.
ACCA has urged the Chancellor of Exchequer to ensure that any rise in the personal allowance is not implemented in isolation and that the whole income tax regime is reviewed to ensure the allowance is not cancelled out by more people being caught by the 40 per cent tax bracket.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury, ACCA head of taxation, said: 'Raising the personal tax allowance looks good on paper but many families across the UK won't necessarily notice a difference in their take-home pay. The higher tax rate is catching more and more people, which means they are paying more tax. The government's own figures show that in 27 constituencies, the average taxpayer is now paying at 40%. Any rise in the tax allowance should be matched by raising the threshold of the 40 per cent tax band, or freezing it at the very least."
Tax changes for the 21st century
ACCA says that the current tax regime is not fit for the modern economy and the Chancellor could use the Budget as an opportunity to bring it into the 21st century.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury added: 'Our tax system is looking outdated. Take business rates for example. They were introduced at a time when enterprises were almost always in a physical building. Today, internet businesses are growing rapidly and yet any business with a property is immediately penalised and put at a disadvantage to online companies. Business sectors that have to use premises – garages, corner shops, manufacturers – are placed at an instant disadvantage.'
ACCA has also called for a more current inheritance tax system. The global accountancy body points out that IHT thresholds have been stagnant over the life of the coalition and should be increased significantly with property prices now picking up. Removing an individual's home from IHT could be an alternative.
Any plans to introduce additional wealth taxes should be taken off the table until the economy is on a much surer footing, says ACCA. Levies such as the Mansion Tax, which require taxpayers to 'dry-fund' a tax charge without having actually received any cash to pay it will only harm a fragile economy in the short-term. Whatever theoretical merits some may claim for such measures, the practical reality is that such a fundamental shift in the basis of taxation shouldn't be attempted until the economy is far healthier.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury said: 'We recognise that this Chancellor is rightly treading a cautious path out of the recession. We aren't out of the woods yet, and so tax giveaways might not be the smartest move. However, elements of the tax regime hark back to an era we have left behind a long time ago when only a small number of people earned enough to break into the 40 per cent income tax bracket, business rates were a fairer tax and stamp duty levels did not translate into tens of thousands of pounds. It's surely time to bring the UK tax system into the 21st century.'

By Erin Post
A Fayston homeowner presented revised subdivision plans and offered an apology to the planning commission at a December 5 hearing.
"I really apologize to the board and to my neighbors," said Donald Simonini prior to talking through changes to a pending minor subdivision application that would create three new lots out of his 28-acre property off Center Fayston Road. Simonini's home lot takes up about 18 acres of the site.
Neighbors at a hearing in August voiced objections to the subdivision, citing concerns about wildlife and stream crossings.
Simonini said December 5 that he didn't anticipate the strong feelings expressed by abutting landowners this summer, and said changes to the plan, which calls for three building lots of roughly three acres each off Deer Run Lane in addition to his 18-acre home site, should address those concerns.
Changes include reducing the number of stream crossings from three to two, including additional turn-offs on the narrow road and emphasizing no-cut zones and vegetation to maintain the area's rural character.
"We've really tried to work the buffers," Simonini said.
Carl Fuller of Dufresne-Henry Consulting Engineers presented color-coded plans that showed building envelopes surrounded by no-cut zones, areas that Simonini pointed out make up about 60 percent of the property.
Covenants allow landowners to construct one house and one outbuilding per site, Simonini said, and also clearly define what a home-based business is, reducing the potential for heavy traffic on the road.
After consultation with state officials, Fuller said installation of a culvert lined with stone on the bottom is planned for the first stream crossing, while the second will allow the stream to "remain in its natural state" by using an existing ledge cut as the basis for a bridge.
Act 250 will likely not be triggered by the development, Fuller and Simonini said.
In response to questions about whether the house sites would be developed all at once, Simonini said he is considering partnering with a friend to build the homes, potentially at the rate of one per year.
Chuck Martel, planning commission chair, said that although the board has 45 days to render a decision, making the final deadline January 20, the application is scheduled for review again on January 9.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (August 6) – The New Mexico State men's and women's tennis programs were both honored with the Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-Academic Award, the ITA announced this week. The women's team is one of just three from the Western Athletic Conference to receive the award, while the men are one of three also.
The women's team has made the list nine of the past 10 years and seven student-athletes earning Scholar-Athlete status. Mia Brandt, Ros-Polly Nguyen, Ginet Pinero, Elizaveta Roslanova, Denise Van der Ben, Jodie Williams and Annemieke Witte made Scholar-Athlete list, marking the third time for Witte and Williams.
"After finishing the spring semester with a term GPA of 3.8 and a team cumulative GPA of 3.64 it is not too surprising that they were named to the ITA All-Academic Team," head women's coach Ivan Fernandez said. "I am very proud of the team for rising up to the academic challenges of being both students and athletes simultaneously."
On the men's side, Marc Westgate, Patrick Pfister, Naveen Manivannan, Jeremy Harlas, Daniel Fernandez and Germain Degardin were the six student-athletes on the list. Last season, just one Aggie made the Scholar-Athlete list. The team made the All-Academic list in 2011 also, marking the second time under the direction of head coach Carlos Vargas.
"It is always a great honor to be recognized by the ITA for all the hard work these student-athletes put into the classroom," Vargas said of the award. "It makes me proud to coach such a fine group."
The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any ITA program that has a cumulative team grade point average of 3.20 or above. All eligible student-athletes have competed in one or more varsity matches must average into the GPA for the current academic year (including fall 2012 and spring 2013).
In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must be a varsity letter winner, have a grade point average of at least 3.50 for the current academic year and have been enrolled at their present school for at least 2 semesters.
Both teams open the fall tournament season with the home-hosted Aggie-Invitational. The women host Sept. 13-15 and the men host Sept. 20-22. The three-day tournaments are both set to be held at the NM State Tennis Center.
