It's cool, but has its flaws - and do you really need one?,
This review is from: Apple iPad 2 MC769LL/A Tablet ( iOS 7,16GB, WiFi) Black 2nd Generation (Personal Computers)
First things first: I consider myself relatively unbiased on Apple products. I received the original iPad as a gift (which I was able to return once I saw the iPad 2 announcement) and I have an old iPod 4th gen with color display which is still going strong after a few years, but aside from that I typically use Windows PCs and my phone is Android.
If you don't have an iPad, and you're trying to decide whether you want one or not, ask yourself: What will I use this for?
This is meant to be an overview for the uninitiated, since according to initial news reports, 70% of people who have bought the iPad 2 so far didn't own an original iPad.
If you want it for web surfing, a portable Netflix or other video screen, gaming, or FaceTime/Skype video chat, it's definitely adept at all of those things. I used to read books and magazines in my bed before going to sleep, and I still occasionally do, but now I've found that surfing with the iPad is just as convenient and relaxing.
The iPad is all about the apps, many of which greatly expand the native capability of the iPad. You can get Microsoft Office clones, remote desktop, second screen, calculators, alarm clocks, remote apps for cable boxes and disc players, and more. Some are free, many are not. I'll get into some of those a bit later, but keep in mind this isn't intended to be a review of apps. If you want to see what's out there, you can search the App store on the web or in iTunes. If you expect the iPad to be able to do something not in its specs, check the app store first.
The only difference I've seen with the iPad 2 is that now there are a few games out there that are optimized for iPad 2, or have improved iPad 2 modes. Lots of games are free and those that aren't occasionally go on sale. The only two I've bought are Scrabble HD and Dungeon Hunter 2 HD, both when they were $1 each. (I've played many more free ones.) I recommend both. Dungeon Hunter 2 HD is a great 3D game that tries really hard to be Diablo 2, with character classes, customization, and online play. It looks great and has never crashed or had a framerate stutter. The iPad 1 had problems with crashing and low framerates with games occasionally, and this version seems to be a much better gaming system. That's the only big difference I noticed between the iPad 1 and iPad 2 so far though.
For me, having a huge array of apps to play with, many of which are free if you don't mind ads here and there, and the convenience of being able to web surf without having to drag out my laptop makes this worth having. Plus the battery gets 8-10 hours on a charge, which is a far cry better than any laptop I know of. It's a great e-reader for airplane travel, even really long flights, though you can't use it on take-off and landing of course.
Wi-Fi performance is flawless and the range is excellent. More than once I've pulled up in the driveway and before I'm even in the house, I've heard my iPad's ESPN ScoreCenter app go off to inform me of a score. I can't speak to the 3G quality, though, as I don't have that model. Frankly, I don't think most people need it. If I'm out of the middle of nowhere and need the web for something, I'd much rather pull out my phone than the iPad. If you just have to use the iPad, tons of public places have Wi-Fi these days.
If you want to be able to print things, you might think at first that you need an AirPrint compatible printer. Fear not! A simple Google search for "AirPrint any printer" will show you how to configure your PC or Mac to broadcast its printers with AirPrint. I have Brother and Canon printers and they both worked with it. It took some time to download and install the AirPrint service and then configure printer sharing options on my network, but that was a far cry better than buying a new printer or an expensive printing app! Still, I've found that my printers occasionally disappear from the list, and the only way to get them back is to shut the iPad down completely and power it back on. Annoying.
The iPad 2 still doesn't support Adobe Flash. Some websites are adapting to this and adding HTML 5 video. Many aren't. Keep that in mind if you're a heavy web video user. I love to watch web shows like the Nostalgia Critic and the Angry Video Game Nerd, and most web show hosting sites are still in Flash. Also, some sites have flash menus, making them completely unusable to you if they don't have a mobile version. It's this that prevents the iPad from being a true laptop replacement, regardless of how much you spend on apps. I still end up having to fire up the laptop to use several websites I enjoy.
The screen is supposedly oleophobic but gets fingerprints all over the place in mere minutes of use. I find that extremely irritating. If you feel the same way, get a screen protector like the ZAGG InvisibleShield (though if you get that particular one, be VERY careful when you install it, it's extremely difficult to get it on there with no air bubbles). You will thank yourself when all it takes to clear fingerprints is one wipe, plus it protects from scratches to boot. To get fingerprints off the screen itself took vigorous scrubbing and left streaks, which needed isopropyl alcohol to remove. Also, in direct sunlight, the glare off the screen makes it hard to see. Add fingerprints to that and it's practically impossible.
Although the iPad 2 has two cameras, one on the front and one on the back, I haven't found much reason to use them other than for video chat. The cameras are terrible quality and the iPad 2 just isn't portable enough to drag around everywhere for camera usage. You can get an excellent digital camera for $150 or less, and most smartphones have much better cameras than the iPad has. Use one of those instead.
If you don't own a laptop, don't expect the iPad 2 to do everything a laptop will, especially if you plan on doing any work-related things. Office applications are not included. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, which are like Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint respectively, are available for $10 each. I don't own them, but apparently they work reasonably well. However they are not 100% compatible with Microsoft Office documents, especially if you have more complicated formatting, macros, or animations that don't translate directly. Plus, the virtual keyboard is a bit more tiring to type on and definitely hinders typing speed. I average about 45-50 WPM on it, where I can get 80-100 WPM on a normal keyboard. You can be a little lazy with it to increase your effective typing speed, though; you can leave out apostrophes or required capitalization and the iPad will nearly always fix it. That also mostly takes care of my fingers occasionally hitting the wrong keys due to the lack of tactile feedback, but I still end up having to go back and fix words sometimes. Also, sometimes it fixes things that don't need to be fixed. It always seems to correct "its" to "it's", but what if I mean "its"? I know the difference!
A lot of other features that you would expect a laptop to have are not here, though, or cost more. For example...
- You can give slideshow presentations or display video on external monitors, projectors, or TVs with it, but that will cost you $29 for a VGA adapter plus the price of a cable and DVI to VGA adapter (monitors or projectors), or $39 for an HDMI adapter plus the price of an HDMI cable (newer TVs), or $39 for a composite or component video cable (older TVs)
- You can transfer photos from a camera directly without having to use iTunes, but that will cost $29 for a camera adapter kit
- The iPad is terrible at file storage for things other than music, videos, photos and apps, and with no USB or SD card slot, can't easily use external storage. If you want to store documents or need external storage for anything you'll need a file management app to keep track of them, and an online cloud file storage service like MobileMe (expensive) or Dropbox (free but limited to 2 GB, or pay for more)
- Where you can just close a laptop to protect its screen, you'll need a case to protect the iPad. I highly recommend getting one. To save some money, try a cover/case intended for iPad 1, assuming you don't care that the rear camera will be covered up. A lot of them still fit and work great, such as the Griffin Elan Passport for iPad - Black, and since they're for an old model they'll be discounted
- You can watch videos/TV episodes/movies on it, but unless you bought them in iTunes, it's a big fat pain to find a converter for them and transfer them to iTunes. This is especially annoying for DVDs/Blu-Rays that have digital copy. You've already paid for the movie and have a digital file but you can't transfer it to your iPad without having to jump through a ton of hoops or buying expensive programs or apps! Not all media companies have this problem, though. When you redeem a digital copy from Disney, you can choose to get an iTunes version, which is perfectly compatible with the iPad. I have Up, Toy Story 3 and Wall-E, and getting them on the iPad was hassle-free. Conversely, Warner Brothers only offers Windows Media versions of the Harry Potter series for digital copy. Transferring to iPad is possible but you need to find programs that remove the DRM, resize to iPad resolution, and convert to Quicktime format. Good luck with that.
Despite all that, the iPad 2 is worth getting if you can spare the cash, and more importantly, if you anticipate actually using it. I don't think it's worth getting for games alone, but if you're a gamer, there are lots of great, cheap games out there. Many of them are even multiplayer, though I haven't tried it, since most of my friends don't have iPads and interoperability between iPad and iPhone versions of games is slim to none (board games like Scrabble and Carcassonne tend to support iPad/iPhone interoperability though).
The thing is, though, I got this as a gift. Would I have gotten it if I actually had to plunk down the $500+? Honestly, probably not. The lack of many features without having to buy expensive apps and accessories is a real deal-breaker for me (and subtracts a star from my rating). Plus, though I understand why Apple doesn't like Adobe Flash, they really need to get over it since there are large parts of the web that don't work without it. It may be bad for battery life, but why not just have the option to turn it on and off as needed, then? Still, if money is no object for you, it's a slick, entertaining device, and you'll enjoy it quite a bit. Just don't expect it to replace anything you already have; the iPad is in a niche market that the iPad itself created.

Good review, I pretty much agree on most points (I have one too); about Adobe Flash, I don't see Apple relenting because Flash according to Jobs is just too hard on battery life; so if you had Flash your I-pad would need much more frequent charging. In my opinion it's Adobe who needs to get over it and update Flash so that's it's not such a battery drain, not Apple. If other programmers can come up with a system such as HTML 5 which works without sucking all the juice out of your machine, then Adobe should also be able to come up with its own version, too.

My only criticisms are 2 things:
1) You admit it's all about the apps but then basically admit that all you did was play Dungeon Hunter 2.
2) Your comments on the screen are pretty wrong, unless apple took a massive step backwards with the iPad 2. On my 1, any cotton shirt sleeve instantly clears the screen of any fingerprints with 1 wipe. You most certainly do NOT need "isopropyl alcohol and the patience to rub like mad"! Unless you are eating snickers bars or caramel cotton candy or something sticky while surfing, I suppose. It really does seem "oleophobic" to me however.

Great review man thanks so much. I have been backward and forward with this and your review and the fact that the delay in shipping from Apple means I now can't get one before I go on vacation means I'll not bother now.

I do not know if Adobe drains battery or not but I do know that Jobs and company have a personal gripe with Adobe and it is all about that.
They might hide behind technology as much as they want but everyone should know it is about their big egos.

Great Review thanks for the breakdown.
As for Flash, i see people saying: Still no Flash.
You have to understand that it's not "Still". It was decided not to include Flash, it is a property format and requires a lot of restrictions, and you can be sure that it's going to fade out from the market really soon as the multimedia standard. That's why HTML5 is here (which is not a property format, and can be read by all web browsers).
Thank you

So much misinformation.
Flash is not going away anytime soon, because Flash encompasses way more than "movie players". That said, it is a battery/CPU hog, STILL is a battery/CPU hog, STILL is somewhat unstable, and since battery size is a design limitation (not to mention, long battery life is AWESOME, and the iPad most definitely has that!), it is not surprising that The Jobs said "no". It is not because "Jobs has a personal gripe with Adobe". (Apple and Adobe have had a working relationship literally going as far back as 1984 when PostScript was incorporated into the first LaserWriter.) It is because Flash is unstable, and in case I forgot to mention it, a CPU hog. Why do you think the Chrome browser runs tabs as separate processes? So that Flash crashing won't take down the entire browser, just one single tab/webpage. And so that one tab sucking all your CPU won't make your entire browser laggy as hell.
HTML5 will put a dent in Flash, only. (Unfortunately.) It might get better once the tools out there get good at creating and deploying Flash-like content via HTML5 standards without hand-coding everything, but things are not quite there yet. And then, there's IE. Frickin' Internet Exploiter.
Sincerely, a web developer with 15 years' experience.
p.s. Ironically, a Kindle is still a better reading device, I'm realizing, because you're not distracted by the million other things you can do on the iPad instead of read. So the REAL question is, do you want to get real reading done, or do you want to be able to do anything, including read? :) (except for running Flash, lol)

Tuiasosopo explains his story on 'Dr. Phil'
Kelly talks NFL, Te'o
Roniah Tuiasosopo, the man who has confessed to orchestrating the Manti Te'o girlfriend hoax, consented to interview on the Dr. Phil television show, the first part of which was broadcast on Thursday.
[RELATED: It's time to put the Manti Te'o story to bed]
Speaking with Dr. Phil McGraw, Tuiasosopo reaffirmed that Te'o was not a knowing party in the hoax.
"He had no idea," said Tuiasosopo, "Truthfully, honestly, he had no involvement. He did not know anything."
In regards to the voice that Te'o heard over multiple phone calls and believed to be a woman speaking, Tuiasosopo asserted that it was his own, despite challenges from McGraw that he had contacted independent voice analysts who had deemed it unlikely that Tuiasosopo had been able to produce the voice heard on recordings.
McGraw challenged Tuiasosopo to recreate the Lennay Kekua voice on set, but the resolution of that issue will be dragged out to Friday's episode, after Tuiasosopo refused to consent to the request until he was allowed to perform behind a privacy screen.
When asked if over the course of the entire relationship, if he had ever forgotten to use the version of his voice that he used to pretend to be Kekua, Tuiasosopo dismissed the notion.
"I'm not trying to be funny, but that's kind of a rookie mistake," said Tuiasosopo.
Most of the episode was spent rehashing the history and progression of the relationship between Te'o and, as Tuiasosopo put it, the "character" of Lennay Kekua.
Tuiasosopo claimed that the first contact occurred via Te'o sending a friend request to the Facebook account he had created for Kekua, and recalled meeting Te'o in person and contemplating revealing the hoax on the night of Notre Dame's game against USC on Nov. 24.
"I wanted to tell him everything right then and there," said Tuiasosopo, "But shortly after, his uncle and a lot of his uncle's friends and some other family all came in, and it wasn't the right time."
Tuiasosopo claimed that the story of Kekua's death from leukemia, which became a national story before being unraveled by Deadspin's Timothy Burke and Jack Dickey, was the final of many attempts to end the online relationship.
"I was just trying everything to end it," said Tuiasosopo, "Because I knew that no matter what, it just wasn't right, and it was never going to be."
The second part of the interview will air on Friday's episode of "Dr. Phil", at 3pm CST.

Fade Out: Joan Fontaine (1917-2013)

I was already in love with movies before someone showed me Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca at the tender age of nineteen, but something about it opened up a whole new world of cinema to me. You'd think it was the film's acclaimed director or the mastery with which he brought Daphne Du Maurier's...
What kind of man does Errol Flynn play in his debut on screen? The kind of man you like. A man with money. Not only did this film launch Flynn, it also launched 8 more movies where Flynn and Olivia de Havilland would share romance (and a little swashbuckling). It's...
A character that has endured 600 years gives us the unique chance to compare films featuring the same figure but are radically different because of the technological limitations of the time....

OPI Rosy Future

Package Quality: 4.3
Price: $$$
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Green
This is my favourite everyday polish - as other reviewers have mentioned, it goes on quite sheer, but is buildable. A slightly opaque base coat helps. The final effect is a translucent pale pink with a beautiful, subtle blue/purple shimmer.
Age: 56 & Over
Skin: Very Dry, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Grey, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I am well over half a century old and have never reviewed any cosmetic product until now. I had to say what a perfectly wonderful nail polish this is. It is subtle without being dull. One coat made my fingertips just a little rosier than before with the barest hint of a blue shimmer. It would not look out of place on a bride. Two coats were even better. Coasts three and four deepen the rosiness and bring the blue out of hiding. Rosy Future is a quiet enough color to wear anywhere, but it's not your grandma's sheer polish. Love that flicker of blue!
My skin is definitely cool toned but is getting thin and less fair than it once was. This polish somehow makes my hands look younger. I have no idea why, but I am getting all kinds of compliments now.
The polish goes on easily, has a glassy sheen, and lasts about a week without touch-ups. It has even made my nails stronger. I have only a half a bottle left because I keep reaching for it. I've never liked any polish the way I like this one. I am going to stock up so I'll have plenty in case it goes off the market.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Oily, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
I know it is supposed to be sheer...but I really struggled with this color. After three coats it looked like I wasn't wearing anything. If you're looking for a glossy, invisible look to your nails, this could work but it wasn't for me.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Black, Other, Medium

This is a beautiful whimsical-like nail lacquer that reminds me of springtime and lilac flowers. :)
It is very sheer on the first and second coat, and pink based with blue shimmer. Those colours work so well together to have this barely there violet effect depending on the lighting.
The product is easy to apply, not too thick, runny, gooey, and it dries considerably quickly, just perfect.
I recommend this to people with great nails that just want an subtle feminine "oomph"! <3

I am in love with this! I happened to stumble across it in a clearance bin at Target, and almost passed right over it because I thought it might be a little cool for my warm skintone. To my surprise, it is basically a tinted clear polish - not opaque at all. It's slightly pinkish with a beautiful blue shimmer and it looks awesome! Goes on smoothly, too. What a fun and easy alternative to a clear coat for some shine. I would recommend this to anyone and would definitely re-purchase!

This is my favourite nail colour of all times. Too many descriptive reviews already, so I will not repeat what's already been said. But my only though massive complain is, that this nail polish dries really quickly in the bottle. I only manage to use about half of it and I have to purchase another one beacuse it gets so thick it's impossible to transfer it smoothly onto the nails. That is a massive disapointment, as you pay a lot for OPI, but then u think about this large bottle, great quality and amazing colour and that you get what u pay for and even more, but in fact you only get a half of it...

This is a very sheer, pink-based iridescent polish. I'm not sure how suitable it would be for work given that the iridescence is rather eye-catching, but it's a nice way to spice up an otherwise boring manicure. The formula is easy to manipulate and you can do as many coats as you want but this thing is never going to be opaque. It lasts about three days on me before chipping and dries fairly fast. Nevertheless, I probably wouldn't buy this again - it's just not right up my alley.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
I've picked rosy future repeatedly as my pedicure (& manicure when I do one) color. It's a very good all-around, not over the top pink that is neither too flat, or too frosty. Also, b/c of the lighter color, the chips in the polish go longer without being noticed by the eye of others. So, you're pedicure/manicure keeps a polished (couldn't resist pun) look longer.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
This is very sheer - good for an unobtrusive mani. It dries quickly, and to coats still leaves your own nail tips showing. A bi of a "work meeting" colour. The brush is broad, which does leave me with paint on the skin round my little fingers where my nail is thinner than the brush. A great, unobtrusive mani, but I wish it wasn't quite so sheer!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I love this color! Agree with the reviewer below that it is a very, very sheer color (yes, it doesn't matter if you have 3 or 10 coats, it won't cover anything!). BUT it gives this really beautiful, sea-shell like blue iridescent glow on my nails. Sometimes my nails get a bit yellow due to too much nail polish =( and this color makes my nail tips look white! I'm a pink nail polish fanatic (10 OPI bottles n counting) n this is my fav pink. Love it!

Additional Location Information
Our Neighborhood: It's hard to believe that you are in the perfect Los Angeles location- close to all of the studios, Malibu, the Westside and the Valley. It is just miles from either LAX or Burbank Airport and a beautiful drive along Sunset Boulevard to the beach in Malibu.
Beaches: Southern California has many beaches to choose from but here is an article about our 5 favorite beaches, courtesy of Daily Candy- we just happen to agree! The easiest and prettiest way to the Ocean? Just head down the hill and turn right on Sunset Blvd. you will be heading west and will run straight into Malibu while taking in the sights of Bel Air an Brentwood Neighborhoods. The less scenic, but faster route to the water? Turn right on Sunset Blvd., then left on La Cienega to the 10 Freeway. Go west and Exit at 4th Street. Make a left, then turn right on Pico (there is a gas station there). You will see the water and make your choice (this drops you off the in Casa Del Mar/Santa Monica Pier/ Venice Beach areas. Keep in mind, the freeways are never faster if you are traveling during traffic times. And that includes late weekend mornings when it is sunny in LA.
Golf: There is no shortage of golfing spots in the area, for any budget. You can have a look at our Golf area to find detailed information.
Winter Sports: It is unlikely that you are coming to Los Angeles to Snowboard or Ski- but you can do just that this winter. Take a break from the usual Los Angeles to-do list and spend a day at the slopes! One of the only places in the world where you can chose to either surf or ski when you wake up! You can check the snow reports at Snow Summit and Big Bear before you go in our own Snow Sports area.
How many are you bringing along? We do have additional sleep arrangements such as futons, aerobeds, pack and plays and portable children's beds to best accommodate your family or group's needs. Just ask (yes, we include the linens).
Would you like to do a price comparison of nearby hotels so that you can be assured of the value of staying with us in a beautiful three level home that includes luxuries such as a full kitchen and high speed internet (not to mention, three levels of house versus a small standard sized room)? Or perhaps we are booked and you need to stay nearby...here are the links to a few of our neighborhood hotels.
The Mondrian (home of the Sky Bar)
The Beverly Hills Hotel (home of the Polo Lounge)
Chateau Marmont (the closest)

Sea-Tac Airport: injured worker dies
SEATAC, Wash. (AP) - A Seattle-Tacoma International Airport spokesman says an airport worker injured in an industrial accident has died.
Airport spokesman Perry Cooper says the man was an employee of Prime Aviation Services. He died after he was taken to Harborview Medical Center on Tuesday night for treatment of multiple injuries.
KOMO-TV reports ( http://is.gd/o4Hf7W) the man in his 40s was driving a piece of equipment in a cargo area when he crashed into a stationary forklift. Cooper says the man was working alone and it was several minutes before another worker noticed he had crashed.
The spokesman says surveillance video showed the driver "slump in his seat" before the crash, which might indicate he suffered some sort of medical problem.
The man was not immediately identified.

OK monsters by pronouncedyouWatch
©2012-2016 pronouncedyou
With all the great (like seriously, I am loving this contest. I feel terrible inadequate though!) entries, I felt inspired to do another piece. And then I was like "I'll challenge myself to design something for a red shirt!", which probably wasn't the greatest idea I have ever had. I like the idea of using the shirt as color. But it was fun to go monochromatic!
I think it'd actually make a pretty cool print just by itself, too.
So if you'd like to wear it, just click "I'd wear this!"

Compared to most the other designs for this contest, this ones adorable. Fills the t-shirt space well, has a kind of graffiti feel to it, the monsters are very cute...good job ♥
Thank you so much! I was hoping it would be appealing to both males and females. I felt like a lot of them, although extremely well done and adorable, were more girly. But I don't really know. Gender equality and all of that.
Awesome stuff you got there, I voted for yours...Just ckeck mine if you have the time!

G. Reginald Daniel
G. Reginald Daniel, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Sociology, University of California, Santa Barbara; Affiliated Faculty, Latin American and Iberian Studies, the Departments of Black Studies, Asian American Studies, History, and Chicana and Chicano Studies. Since 1989, he has taught "Betwixt and Between," which is one of the first and the longest-standing university courses to deal specifically with the question of multiracial identity comparing the U.S. with various parts of the world.Daniel has published numerous articles and chapters that cover this topic. He is author of "Passers and Pluralists: Subverting the Racial Divide" and "Beyond Black and White: The New Multiracial Consciousness," which appeared in the first comprehensive anthology to examine multiracial identity in the United States, Racially Mixed People in America (1992). "Passers and Pluralists: Subverting the Racial Divide" is among the most cited essays on the topic of multiraciality. He is also co-author of "Being Different Together in the University Classroom: Multiracial Identity as Transgressive Education," and author of "Black and White Identity in the New Millennium: Unsevering the Ties That Bind," which are chapters in the second comprehensive examination of multiracial identity in the United States, The Multiracial Experience: Racial Borders as the New Frontier (1996). Finally, Daniel's chapter "Race, Multiraciality, and the Election of Barack Obama: Toward a More Perfect Union?" (2012), appears in Andrew Jolivette's Obama and the Biracial Factor: The Battle for a New American Majority (2012), which is the first anthology devoted specifically to questions of multiraciality and Obama's path to the presidency.
Daniel's books entitled More Than Black? Multiracial Identity and the New Racial Order (2002), Race and Multiraciality in Brazil and the United States: Converging Paths? (2006), and Machado de Assis: Multiracial Identity and the Brazilian Novelist (2012), are a culmination of much of his thinking on the relationship between social structure and racial formation—especially multiracial identities. He is a co-founding editor, along with Wei Ming Dariotis, Laura Kina, Maria P.P. Root, and Paul R. Spickard of the recently launched Journal of Critical Mixed Race Studies.
Also, Daniel, along with Ray Vagas and Charles Sloan, represented MASC (Multiracial Americans of Southern California) at the November 12, 1988 founding meeting of the AMEA (Association of MultiEthnic Americans) in Berkeley, California. At that meeting he was elected the AMEA's first secretary and served in that capacity from 1988-1989. Daniel is also a member of the Advisory Board of AMEA, MASC, the Advisory Council of the Mixed Heritage Center of MAVIN Foundation, and a former Advisory Board member of Project RACE (Reclassify All Children Equally). These are among the most prominent organizations involved in bringing about changes in the collection of official racial and ethnic data, as in the decennial census, which make it possible for multiracial-identified individuals to acknowledge their various backgrounds. Daniel was asked to submit written testimony in support of these goals during the Congressional hearings (1993–1997) that were sponsored by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)—which is the branch of the government responsible for implementing changes in federal statistical surveys—to determine whether any changes would be made in reporting racial and ethnic data on the 2000 Census.
In addition, Daniel has participated as a panelist at various conferences on the topic of multiracial identity and received a great deal of media attention. One of the most memorable moments was his July 10, 1997 appearance on MSNBC evening news the day after OMB officials announced that they were recommending changes that would make it possible for multiracial-identified individuals to check more than the box—instead having to select only one box as previously—on official forms used in the collection of data on race and ethnicity. Daniel's own multiracial identity includes African, European, Asian, Arab, and Native American origins.
Kim Wayans and Kevin Knotts
Kim Wayans and Kevin Knotts
Kim Wayans
is garnering rave reviews for her dramatic debut starring in the feature film "Pariah" (Focus Features, limited release beginning December 28). "Pariah," which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, is the story of a 17-year-old girl who is discovering and embracing her identity as a lesbian while her family is learning to come to terms with it. Wayans plays the teen's god-fearing mother in the film, a woman in denial about her daughter's sexuality and her own failing marriage. This film is a serious departure from her previous comedic film credits such as "Dance Flick," "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka," "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in The Hood," "A Low Down Dirty Shame" and "Juwanna Man."Wayans is best known to television audiences for her work on the groundbreaking sketch comedy show "In Living Color" created by her brother, Keenen Ivory Wayans, which also featured her brothers Damon, Shawn, and Marlon. Wayans' music video parodies and many original characters she created were amongst the show's most popular. Following "In Living Color," she co-starred on the NBC series "In the House," opposite LL Cool J. She later added producing, writing, and directing to her resume working on the ABC sitcom, "My Wife and Kids."
In 2007, Wayans took to the stage where she wowed Los Angeles audiences with her dynamic one-woman show, "A Handsome Woman Retreats" based on her experiences growing up in the projects and surviving in the jungles of Hollywood. She continues to tour with the show.
Wayans is also the author (along with her husband, Kevin Knotts) of the children's book series "Amy Hodgepodge." The series follows the daily challenges and triumphs of Amy, a young multiracial girl. There are currently six books in the series with plans to expand into an animated series.
Kevin Knotts
was born and raised in Oklahoma. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma, and later went on to receive his M.B.A. at Central Oklahoma University. After a brief stint working in the oil and gas business, he moved to Newport Beach, California to sell commercial real estate. After a while, his creative yearnings took over, and Kevin moved to Los Angeles to answer its call. He became a devoted student of acting and writing and soon began securing work in television and film.In addition to guest starring on such popular shows as "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" and "My Wife and Kids," Kevin also became a writer on the ABC hit family comedy "My Wife and Kids." He has penned three screenplays, one with his wife and writing partner, Kim Wayans, and they have created a pilot for a family sitcom that they are currently shopping around to networks.

It depends on what you're shooting.
If you can't have the flash heads in line-of-sight of the camera (as I frequently do) then the PW is the better option.
Running around adjusting the flash is annoying, but if IR doesn't work for the shot, IR is COMPLETELY inconvenient.
Once PW comes out with the TTL setup for Nikon (as they already have with Canon), the answer will be simple, but for now - it's a matter of what you shoot.

All that glitters… Embellished Tights
Round about Christmas we all get the urge to add a bit of sparkle to our outfits. This year the high street has been awash with beading and sequins. Embellished clothing is big this year and, whilst you may be more used to adorning your top half with all that glitters, we at MyTights would like to remind you that this trend works for legs too.
Rock the embellished look to perfection with the Bebaroque Lourdes Tights. The whole office has been lusting after these hand crafted luxury tights adorned with crystals, sequins and pearls. At £195, I will admit that you have do have to be fairly committed to the embellished cause to pick up a pair of these gorgeous tights but they are second to none in terms of quality and luxury. The black version will make you look like you have just waded through diamonds to get to your party. We think the cream version will look great with a super girly outfit – consider wearing it with pale lace if you want to nail two winter trends at once. In the past couple of weeks, we've been delighted to speak to a few of you who have ordered them to go under wedding dresses. Both warm and beautiful, I can't think of a better accessory for a winter wedding!
Bebaroque designers, Mhairi McNicol and Chloe Patience are true innovators in legwear design and their range of embellished tights are on every fashionista's wish list. Based in Scotland, their products are set to become a British design classics. A more affordable alternative to the Lourdes tights, are their Carla tights which come in black and plum and are adorned with colourful metal studs which will glint as you walk.
If you are a newcomer to the embellished trend and want to start subtle and affordable, the Pretty Polly Embellished Tights are the perfect place to begin. Decorated with gold and silver discs on one leg, they will glitter under the light without taking over your outfit. We recommend these as a key piece in any winter party wardrobe. Wear black opaques in the day and then switch to these to take your work outfit from day to evening effortlessly.
Embellished tights are a tasteful way to add a little sparkle to a Christmas party outfit. They are also a little out of the ordinary and will make sure that your legs are the centre of attention.

Columnist Wastes Paper With Texas A&M Hit Job
The website WISEGEEK.COM has this to say about the unfortunate phenomenon known as trolling: "An internet troll is someone who posts offensive, controversial, or divisive material on an Internet community." Anyone who's spent any amount of time on an intenet message board or blog has seen 'em and perhaps even pities these people who spend their time getting off by anonymously being a jerk to people on the internet.
(So many good reasons to mock Texas A&M, why make stuff up?)
Usually, trolling occurs on the fringes of the internet, where the overly passionate message board readers or posters are easily riled up and duped. It's much rarer to see it occur in the broad daylight of a mainstream website. It's even rarer to see it happen in the pages of a major American newspaper, but that's the only explanation for Richard Justice's latest column. Nobody could actually honestly be this stupid.

With production on both Hobbit films having come to an end — or did it?! — Peter Jackson has, wisely, made his latest video blog a chronicle of the final days behind those big 3D RED cameras. This piece was shown to members of the Comic-Con audience last Saturday, but don't think this is all regurgitation (great regurgitation though it would already be); there's also a bit of the director and his main cast in San Diego, with some "from the panel" footage being provided as his talk was being given.
Fans of Tolkien's book and The Lord of the Rings will undoubtedly get some real pleasure from all the little bits — be it sets, the surprise appearance of a few actors, about two seconds of complete footage, and the hints of some other big things. It's all the better that this, like every prior video blog, doesn't give away that much while it's ahead, but simply promises the potentially great things that are to come. Given the great spirit of this thing — among other factors, such as decency — let's hope Jackson doesn't ruin the moment by spending too much extra time on the set next year.
You can watch the video blog below (via Facebook):
The cast includes Martin Freeman, Ian McKellan, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, Elijah Wood , Andy Serkis , Richard Armitage, Jed Brophy, Adam Brown, John Callen, Stephen Fry, Ryan Gage, Mark Hadlow, Peter Hambleton, Stephen Hunter, William Kircher, Sylvester McCoy, Bret McKenzie, Graham McTavish, Mike Mizrahi, James Nesbitt, Dean O'Gorman, Lee Pace, Mikael Persbrandt, Conan Stevens, Ken Stott, Jeffrey Thomas, Aidan Turner, Luke Evans, Benedict Cumberbatch, Evangeline Lilly, and Barry Humphries.
"The Hobbit" follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakensheild. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.
Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever… Gollum.
Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities… A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens on December 14th, and The Hobbit: There and Back Again will be released on December 13th, 2013.
How does this video blog compare to the others?
With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we've taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit the interwebs.

Twitter Introduces Vine, a Fun Way To Post Short Looping VideosCecily Kellogg
So, Twitter acquired the new video app Vine, and announced it's launch today. From the Twitter blog:
"Today, we're introducing Vine: a mobile service that lets you capture and share short looping videos. Like Tweets, the brevity of videos on Vine (6 seconds or less) inspires creativity. Now that you can easily capture motion and sound, we look forward to seeing what you create."
The Vine blog explains it further:
"Posts on Vine are about abbreviation — the shortened form of something larger. They're little windows into the people, settings, ideas and objects that make up your life. They're quirky, and we think that's part of what makes them so special."
There are only a handful of videos up on Vine now, but they are pretty fun; six seconds of video snapshots of any situation.
The app works pretty simply; you launch it, hit the record button, and then "hold" the screen by keeping your finger on the screen (in iOS, anyway) and when you are done recording you lift your finger; then the clips are seamlessly sewn together and immediately shared on all the social media networks you want.
As people start using it, it's likely to become a sort of Instagram for video; it took me only a few minutes or trial and error to create my first Vine video, and I definitely see the appeal.
Check it out! The app is currently free.

Dear Davis Roofing
I want to thank you for the recent tear off and re-roof job you did on my house. Your whole staff, from Brittany keeping me updated on the schedule, to Mike doing a great and thorough job of quoting and educating me on the materials and choices, to Wolfgang being SO helpful with the whole permit process and coordinating the crew arriving on time, even a little early, and explaining to me exactly what would happen and when it would happen. You guys are GREAT!
The crew was very attentive to covering my lawn area and went right to work and kept at it until the job was done. These guys worked hard, fast and professionally. (Tell them thank you again.) The neighbors were amazed at how quickly and nicely this job was done.
You guys could not have done a better job and I can't say how thankful I am for you providing me with a great roof and stress free and positive experience. Keep up the great work and many more years of continued success to Davis Roofing!
Dear Sirs . . .
In today's business environment it seems that Company representatives, all too often, do not place the customers first.
This was certainly not the case in dealing with Wolfgang. Throughout the course of replacing our roof, he was courteous and always on our side, advising us as to what needed to be done in our best interest.
Please accept this correspondence as a sincere THANK YOU, and we will be recommending your company to both friends and neighbors.
Dear Better Business Bureau,
From my first contact with the superintendant Wolfgang I knew I was in good hands and later Mike and the owner, Mr. Davis also left very positive impressions on me. The owner personally showed up to tend to a rather complex roof configuration of skylights, roof fans and chimneys. The crew worked diligently and tended to all details associated with the job. All work was performed with precision and at the end my property was left impeccably clean.
