The SandBox: Great Food at Great Prices
The Sandbox is so called due to its being set right in the sand, with no floor. We kept coming back here because the food was so good and the price was so right. Their ribs, burgers, pork chops, lobster bisque soup, and chili are all great, and they have fresh seafood everyday, too. Service is laid-back, like everywhere on the island.
It's so Belizean to see their beautiful, Mennonite-made mahogany tables and chairs sitting right in the sand, with the names of regular customers carved into the backs of the chairs! We always ate in the dimly lit interior, after spending long days in the sun and the wind, but they have outdoor seating as well.
The SandBox: A Belikin Says We Have Arrived!
After doing some morning shopping in Atlanta, Georgia for last minute items, a 3-hour flight to Belize and then a short hop out to Caye Caulker, the first thing we did was to sit down in the Sand Box restaurant, next door to and part of the Trends Beachfront Hotel! I had my first Belikin beer while Sue settled for a cold glass of Chardonnay as we spoke to the owner of the two establishments. The Sand Box is quite a popular spot with both the locals and the tourist traffic, it's sandy floor (second photo) helping to provide a very relaxed atmosphere. While we were sitting here, another couple arrived from Washington, DC and we ended up having a great conversation with them - especially since the young lady had been a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal, while I had been an equivalent Canadian CUSO volunteer in Zambia (in the year that she was born!).
Favorite Dish: Once we had settled down a bit to our new surroundings, we struck off for a walking exploration of Caye Caulker by night, taking in the sights up toward the Lazy Lizard at 'the Split'. Having satisfied ourselves with this first glimpse of this amazing little island, we returned to the Sand Box for some serious eating. Sue opted for the local Fish Fillet in Spinach Sauce with Garlic Bread & Pasta Salad (US$10) while I settled for the local favourite of Jerk Chicken with Garlic Bread & Beans/Rice (US$5.50). There was not a scrap left when we finished, with the total meal costing US$27 (with our drinks).
The Sand Box Beach Bar & Restaurant: Dining in the Breezes
The morning after our arrival on Caye Caulker, we were very glad to be able to sit outside at the Sand Box to enjoy our breakfast in the very pleasant tropical temperatures and atmosphere! Situated beneath the magnificent leaves of both Rubber and Almond trees, it was great to feel the soft breezes and listen to the morning bird calls as I enjoyed my breakfast Special (US$ 3.25) of two eggs (over easy), Ham, Toast, three Fry Jacks, Beans & Salsa with free Coffee while Sue had the much more sensible Fruit Plate (US$1.75) with Whole Wheat Toast and Orange Juice. We were actually served by Trenton, the owner, and he quickly filled me in on my questions regarding what sort of trees I was actually looking at!
Favorite Dish: With our various wanderings around Caye Caulker to sample other establishments, we did not make it back to the Sand Box until lunch the following day, after we had finished our snorkeling tour on the off-shore reef. Although this turned out to be a late lunch at about 2 PM, we found our new-found Canadian friends from Saskatchewan (see 'Accommodations' tip) sitting outside and joined them for the meal. Their Quesadillas looked great so we also ordered them - once again a very enjoyable meal for only US$16, including drinks and tip, after our scorching day in the water and sun!
Sand Box Restaurant: Another good spot for breakfast
We'd usually have breakfast at the hotel but on a few occasions, when we had nothing planned early in the morning, we decided to go out for breakfast. We ended up landing at the Sand Box Restaurant on two occasions: the breakfast menu was interesting, and we just loved having the option of eating outside underneath the palapas! Service was nice and the atmosphere in general was very relaxing. I loved my breakfast burrito: a thick tortilla filled with fried eggs, refried beans, salsa and cheese - the refried beans were especially tasty, and with a breakfast like that you're good to go swimming and snorkelling for a few hours before you get hungry again!
The Sand Box: Sand Inside and Out
Recommended for Belizian-American seafood by "Belize First"'s editor Lan Sluder. We ate outside and had some trouble with flies
Website says Open everyday from 7:00 am until 9:00 pm. Named the Sand Box because of the sand floors. Also notorious for the names of regular customers carved into the backs of the chairs. The most diverse menu on the island with daily specials - and they almost always have everything on the menu. A well-designed inside space decorated with local artifacts and a pleasant outside garden for dining.
Having everything on the menu is important, and is not always the case at these places.
Favorite Dish: Sand floor inside and patio outdoors. I seem to remember eating at a picnic table with other folks.
Good food and OK service.
Prices on the menu are in Belize $$. Divide in half to get US$$ prices. We paid US$22 for two without drinks.
The SandBox: The sandbox
The sandbox is straight up from the pier and is literally a sandbox, ie no floor, just sand. You can eat inside or out, the bar is popular with locals and a great place to hang out in the evenings. The lobster fritters are divine and the mango shakes worth the BZ$8. We lived on barbeque chicken, the pasta salad is very good. They also do cooked breakfast so if you have had a big night and could do with a fry up this is the place to come.
The SandBox: Popular for breakfast
The sandbox was always crowded for breakfast. There is a fair amount of seating outside as well as inside. As the name suggests, the floor of the restaurant is actually sand!
I dont know if there day we went they were busier than usual BUT the service was quite slow - not like we had anything to go do! There was another couple sitting beside us who had a snorkel trip that morning and they were very upset that their breakfast took 45 minutes to be served.
For us (and for most)....we know this is the way it is and all you can do is sit back, relax and chuckle.
And, of course, dont expect a quick feed just in time to hit the water....youre better going to the bakery for some snacks and no waiting.
Favorite Dish: These egg mc muffin things we had were very very tasty.
On the menu were the typical bacon and eggs, fruit and yogurt, etc.
The cost was $4 ea and included tea or coffee. Bigger breakfast got pricy'er...$6-8usd.
It was good though.
They do serve dinner here as well, we only ate there for breakfast.
The SandBox: Nice spot to drink or eat
Nice atmosphere. Perfect location for me since it was my hotel's restaurant. The sand floor was cool. There's outdoor seating available as well. They had a special one night on lobster tails. I took it.
Favorite Dish: Jerked chicken sandwich and crunchy fries. Wasn't as spicy as they said it would be, but I liked it nonetheless. Fresh squeezed lime juice is good, too.
The Sand Box: The 2nd hippest place to go
Back in 94 when I was there this was the coolest place for dinner, sand is the floor both inside and out. Too cool. Met a couple of girls there and had dinner, Lobster, lobster and more lobster…. very good
Favorite Dish: Lobster
The Sand Box: great breakfast!!
Perfect for breakfast on the beach. Lost of space and nice outside sitting area.
The staff is very friendly
Favorite Dish: Fresh fruit + of course, fried jacks, my god....so much for our diet after we had these.

34 year old woman | Joliet, IL, United States | Seeking men 28-38 within 50 miles
Hi :)
Well, I figured I would give this try so here we go. I am fun. I am adventurous. I am successful. I am modest. I am hialrious. I am available. What more do you need to know? He he he. I think if people had to describe me that they would say I am compassionate and a good listener. I enjoy making people laugh, at times at my own expense because I do tend to be a klutz. I love to travel. I love being outside. Whether it's a walk, a meal, or an adventure, whatever gets me outside makes me happy. I also enjoy my work because I find helping people very rewarding. What I value the most though is my friends and family. They are the ones who get your through the rough times and celebrate with you during the good times. While I am an independent and strong woman, I still love having a door opened for me or having a guy make the first move. I appreciate the simple things. One rose versus a dozen. A smile. A wink. I think dating is a lost art where everyone now has to declare intentions from day one. And that isn't to say that I'm not looking for Prince Charming. Aren't we all looking for "the one?" There is not even a chance to get to know each other first. I am looking for a date, perhaps to get to know you, and any chance your name is Charming? Prince?

I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Cats, Fish
I have two cats - Toro and Puddle - we share a love/hate relationship. Love snuggle time. Hate early morning wake up calls. The fish.. well, I hope to resurrect them (i.e., purchase more at the pet store) soon. Poor little guys.
Wisconsin, Glacier National Park, Europe, Hawaii, Alaska, and anywhere else I can travel to!
University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, Champaign, IL
TV - I like crime shows, but not the ones that have a lot of courtroom scenes - remind me too much of work. I like drama shows that have good old sarcastic humor: NCIS, Castle, Elementary, etc. Fav movies: Big Fish and Shawshank.
Fishing, volleyball, softball, hanging out with friends, water sports, camping, hiking...
Time and Reader's Digest. Lame, I know. I have a stack of good ones lined up though - The Help, Within Our Reach, and The Insanity File - The Case of Mary Todd Lincoln.

The Sub-Mariner story has two very nice scenes: First an actual riot, with Krang and his men doing their best to contain it, and then Namor actually giving up on the quest to instead safe Lady Dorma...and probably solve the test anyway, while he's at it, if I know my tropes right. A nice turning point to a still epic adventure.

McCain opens by saying that he wishes Ted Kennedy all the best, signaling that he believes Sarah Palin has brought the GOP base onboard for good. He then points to the bipartisan nature of the modified Paulson package. And says that this is only the end of the beginning of the financial crisis. Neither guy answered the question, prompting Lehrer to re-ask.
On redirect, Obama says he can't say whether he's for it or not because he hasn't seen the details. But that it's important to remember that he warned of the crisis two years ago. Which kind of leaves one wondering why, if he knew that the "worst economic crisis since the Great Depression" was coming down the pike, all he did was write a letter to Paulson instead of acting to head it off.
McCain says that he is going to vote for the bailout and then talks about how important it is to hold people accountable for their actions. This is a close one since neither guy conveys any deep understanding of the situation or insight into the solution.
Round to Obama
Round 2: Are there fundamental difference between your two approaches to the crisis?
McCain goes right after spending, hitting his reform theme and blaming Republicans for their earmarks, out of control spending, and scandals. It's like he's daring Obama to be harder on the GOP than he is.
Obama says that earmarks are bad--though not as bad as "the special interests"! But Obama maintains that McCain's tax cuts for
evil corporations and the rich are a worse source of waste than earmarks. Standing traditional supply-side economics on its head, Obama says he wants to grow the economy from the "bottom up."
The two then go back and forth on McCain's business tax cuts, culminating in McCain pointing that the U.S. business tax is 35 percent, Ireland's is 11 percent, and that lowering business taxes is one of the ways you keep businesses in America and create jobs. When Obama challenges this, he says that all of the "loopholes" actually make business taxes too low--suggesting that he'd like to make the U.S. less hospitable to businesses. Then McCain hits Obama for talking and not doing. Obama looks peevish.
Round to McCain
Round 3: As president, what will you give up to pay for the $700 billion bailout?
Obama says, quite nonsensically, that he's going to give up foreign oil by turning to wind, solar, and alternative fuels. He then goes on to talk about all the other things he is going to spend money on. If you were at all concerned that Obama's "no new taxes" pledge might not be written in stone, he isn't setting your mind at ease.
McCain says that we have to get spending under control and that he'd examine every agency of the government. Then, just throw an elbow at Iowa voters, he says that the first thing he'd do is cut the ethanol subsidy. Also, in an attempt to drive Michael Goldfarb from his staff, he singles out the DDX program in a long list of government waste that he'd go after.
When asked again what he would give up, Obama ducks the question, saying, again, that he will invest in ending our dependence on foreign oil. Not to pick nits but technically, that's new spending. Lehrer seems perturbed.
McCain then goes on the offensive saying we ought to consider a spending freeze (minus defense, entitlements, and veterans affairs). Thinking he has an opening, Obama pounces, saying that he wouldn't endorse a spending freeze because there are lots of under-funded programs that need more money from the federal government. It's not clear how this is helping reassure people that he won't raise their taxes.
Round to McCain
Round 4: What are the lessons of Iraq?
McCain says that you need to be mindful that strategies can fail and that flexibility is important. He says that we're winning in Iraq and that we will come home with victory and honor and a newly-minted ally in the region. He gives Gen. Petraeus and the troops all the credit.
Obama says that this is a fundamental difference between the two men because six years ago he stood up the salons of Hyde Park and bravely opposed the war. He then paints a picture of American defeat around the globe and claims that al Qaeda is stronger than it's been at any time since 2001. For whatever it's worth, this last assertion is counter to recent analysis of al Qaeda's strength. It betrays a staggering ignorance on Obama's part; his position deteriorates from there.
Round to McCain
Round 5: About that Afghanistan . . .
Obama says we need more troops in Afghanistan, which is why we need to pull out of Iraq and get tough with Pakistan.
McCain says that he regrets the mistake we made by neglecting the Afghanis after they drove the Soviets out, allowing the Taliban to take hold. He then paints Obama as reckless for wanting to cut off aid to a tottering nuclear power. The knowledge gap is beginning to show and it gets worse when Obama mangles pre-Musharraf Pakistani history.
As the exchange goes on it becomes clear that these guys like each other about as much as Ali and Foreman did.
Round to McCain
Round 6: How big a threat is Iran?
McCain says that a nuclear Iran is an existential threat to Israel and a strategic threat to the stability of the region. He notes that Russia is blocking action at the U.N. and touts a "League of Democracies" which could implement serious and tough sanctions on Iran. But "have no doubt," he's ready to throw down. He gallantly doesn't mention that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad seems to prefer Obama.
Obama says that we need Russia and China to help with sanction. But the real thing we need with Iran is--hold on to your seats--tough, direct diplomacy!
McCain hits Obama for pledging to talk with Ahmadinejad without preconditions. Obama should just take his lumps here--this is the cost of winning the Democratic nomination. But instead he tries to weasel out of it, saying that he'll "sit down with anybody" but that there have to be "preparation." Then he tries to get cute by saying that Ahmadinejad may not be the most important person in Iran. It's a weird pride that keeps Obama committed to a losing position when he should just find different ground to fight on. You'll notice, by the way, that whenever he loses his way, he blurts out "President Bush."
McCain says that his opponent's views aren't "just naive, but dangerous." Obama isn't doing anything to dispel this notion.
Round to McCain
Round 7: Russia. Competitor? Enemy? Partner? Discuss.
Obama says that the evidence of recent weeks says we need to reevaluate our relationship with Russia and that we should start expanding NATO immediately. But that we can't return to a Cold War posture.
McCain says that Obama's first reaction to the Russia-Georgia conflict was to urge both sides to show restraint, evincing further "naiveté." It's pretty rough, particularly when he starts talking about the specifics of South Ossetia.
Round to McCain
Round 8: What is the likelihood of another 9/11?
McCain says it's "much less than it was the day after 9/11" and that we are a safer nation, even though we are not safe. He talks about how he pushed for the creation of the 9/11 Commission against the wishes of President Bush and how he worked with Democrats to pass most of the Commission's recommendations. Most gratifyingly, he talks about how important it is to bolster American intelligence capabilities, particularly in the area of HUMINT.
Obama says that we are safer in some ways, but still have a long way to go. He smartly points out that we have yet to harden transportation points (excluding airports), chemical facilities, and other attractive targets. He also talks about the need to focus on nuclear proliferation, in order to keep nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists. This is the most comfortable and commanding he's been all night.
McCain goes back to Obama's desire to withdrawal from Iraq, saying that Obama doesn't realize how interconnected Iraq is to the wider terrorist threat. Obama responds that Iraq is a huge disaster and hindrance to everything America needs to do in the world.
Then McCain throws down the gauntlet with what I suspect will be the only line people take away from the night: "There are some advantages to experience and knowledge and judgment. And I honestly don't believe that Sen. Obama has the knowledge or experience and has made the wrong judgments in a number of areas."
Then he takes another big swing: "You know we've seen this stubbornness before in this administration, to cling to a belief that somehow the surge has not succeeded and failing to acknowledge that he was wrong about the surge shows to me that we need more flexibility in a president of the United States than that. . . . I don't think I need any on-the-job training."
This round is a Rorschach. If you love Obama, he acquitted himself well. If you have questions about Obama, you found McCain's assault devastating. The big question is how undecideds will see this last exchange.
Round to McCain
My scorecard says that McCain won the night 7-1, which frankly surprises me. On paper that looks like a rout, but McCain didn't seem that dominant as it was happening. Certainly there was nothing in the debate that Obama will worry about as having been a big blow. I saw McCain winning the debate pretty handily, but I doubt he scored any larger strategic victory.

I've ordered Pup Protectors for several friends who all love it!
Joanne Y.
We really love this collar! We can now see our dog both on day time and night. And my husband admits its cute on our dog.
Betty M.
I had purchased collars and leashes a couple of years ago and with more doggies I had to buy more. These really are THE BEST! When we walk at night everyone comments on how great they are.
Joann A.
This product works actually better than described! We run our Aussies off leash every morning in the hills of Vista very early in the morning. So, for at least half the year, we're running in the dark. We can now easily see where our dogs are, and each is "color coded", so we know which dog is where out on the run.
Patricia S.
The pink lights on this collar are soooo coool. They are more of a magenta, but they are beautiful. They included a hand written note which was pretty nice.
Natalie Johnson
Bought a collar for my black lab. Work great. I ordered the wrong size and they let me exchange it with no hassle. The whole thing took less than a week.
Jonathan Briggs
I love this collar, it's bright and gives us the extra visibility we need when walking in the early morning or at night.
Catherine S.
My dog leash and collar is absolutely amazing. The material, lights, and adjustable leash is a fantastic invention. I've gone on many walks with tons of compliments and questions about where to get such a product. I've heard stories of people searching high and low for a reputable product but can never find it in the store, if you are looking for a quality buy this is the place to go.
Aaron S.
The led collars are wonderful, but size down because our 75 lb black lab fit in a medium.
Danielle P.
Led Collar and led leash are awesome. Much stronger than others I had. The LEDs are bright but not too Bright. Good quality and style The only issue I have is my 110lbs rotty keeps turning it on. Wish there was an on off switch instead of the push button. That aside this is a great choice for larger dogs.
Ray P.
I have only had this product a few days and already someone has stopped me to ask where I got it. Yes, it increases visibility and keeps you and your pup safer when walking at night or early in the morning. But it is also really cool looking. It is like something you might see at the Electric Run- really fun. Only complaint- I wish they made thinner.
Shawna L.
Love the leash & collar! We feel so much safer walking on our dark neighborhood streets and you can tell cars see us immediately. Also very high quality materials and workmanship. Only recommendation is for a way to lock the collar lights off during the day, as our dog has turned them on a few times by rolling or scratching.

I have not found a better collar yet. She is always very accommodating, she is always quick to answer a question and always wanting to make you happy with your order. All of these collars fit to size, they all have lasted a long time (and my dogs are hard on collar) and they are oh so stylish. I highly recommend these collars to anyone!
Pros: Durable, variety of styles, dependable
Cons: none

Best Uses
As promised, Here is a view of the floor all finished and the furniture moved back in
We were unhappy about all the very short pieces. There seemed to be too many of them. Also, their width was slightly different.
Other than that, we are very pleased with the product and installation.
Best Uses
We have been wanting to do Hardwood floors for a while. Did a lot of looking to find a 5 inch wide board that we liked that fit our budget. Ivan at the Tigard store showed us the smooth spice oak. It fit the bill. The hardest part of installing it was to fix all of the builders screw ups that the carpet hid that was found as the project started. That process took 3 weeks to fix the sloppy build. We did the entire upper floor of our home and it took us around 2 weeks of working to get it done. It could be done a lot faster if there was more hands on deck working on the project. Now that it's completed we have to say it is worth the time to do. To give you a look at the floor attached is a living room view before the furniture was moved back in. I'll update some finished pictures at a later date.

Kudos to Danny Duncan Collum for his column ("What Those Low Prices Cost," February 2005). I agree with all he says about the unjust practices of Wal-Mart. However, I would urge Duncan Collum to stop "considering" a personal boycott of Wal-Mart and take the plunge. I live in Arkansas, the home of Wal-Mart, and I have boycotted the company for years. Sure, it might make life more "inconvenient," but as Christians we know doing the right thing is not always convenient.

Detective Dave Wells plugs his laptop into a car's event data recorder. A large portion of new cars are equipped with the device, and the government is considering making them mandatory in all vehicles. But some say there should be an "off" option.

March 20, 2013 Most newer cars have recorders that collect data at the moment of a crash and preserve key information. The data is meant to improve safety, but it's also useful in court. The federal government now wants to make the recorders mandatory on all new cars, but privacy advocates say people should have the option of turning their cars' recorders off.

February 13, 2013 In the 2010 model year, the most dependable cars and trucks were either new to the market or had been through a major redesign, according to a study by J.D. Power and Associates. The finding contradicts the traditional stance that consumers should let carmakers work out the bugs in a new model before they buy.

January 4, 2012 America's Big Three automakers experienced double-digit sales growth in 2011, helping the U.S. market continue its rebound from a dismal 2009.

White is the favorite color for 2011 cars like these Ford sedans on a dealership's lot in California, according to a market study.

I remember back in the day, it was Shaw - the evil emperor, who gutted the fine Ram's team. I've always held him accountable for the debacle that became the Rams.
I've seen the FO improve since then, so maybe he's changed. Everybody should be given the benefit to change and improve. So maybe he won't do what he did before. Maybe he's learned.

I'm thinking about productized consulting today. The latest episode of TropicalMBA, The One Where a Business Starts on the Show, lays out plans for creating a productized service and got my mind on what I'd like to do. It seems like a great business model. I need to think more about this.
Are we fighting ads, or are we fighting garbage? →
If you want to block all advertising, I don't understand you, but I won't argue with you either. No one's going to stop you. But most people just want to block garbage — privacy-invasive trackers, JavaScript that slows our devices and drains our batteries, obtrusive ads that cover the content we're trying to read.
Are we fighting ads, or are we fighting garbage?
I'm on the side of content blockers and agree with John. When it comes to blocking ads, this is the feature of content blockers that appeals most to me. Truth be-told, I don't mind good, targeted ads that introduce me to great products and services.
The garbage ads are the ones that offend me. The ads the pop-up modally and force me to wait to close, for me to read them. These are the ads I want the option to block.
I'm in the fighting garbage camp but how would this be distinguished? How is a content blocker now supposed to show me ads someone has deemed "quality"? I'm not sure this is not just another can of worms.
Taking the Side of the Content Blockers
UPDATE: Marco pulled Peace from the App Store today. Such a shame but I get it.
I've been following the debate lately about the ethics of using content blockers. The argument falls on two sides, those serving and hosting ads and the rest of us that are tired of all the junk loaded in our web pages. The average user browsing a web page is often faced with a barrage of ads and popups all while being tracked with every click they make.
I've been running Ghostery for a few weeks and the experience is great. A couple things I've learned in the time I've been using Ghostery:
- The shear number of trackers on most web sites
- How fast the web is without all these being loaded
- How my WordPress sites were loading trackers I wasn't even aware of thanks go some plugins
Think this isn't really a problem? Visit the CNN main page. How many different mechanisms are either tracking you or serving an ad?
See that little red "14" next to the address bar? Yes, that's how many. What are they you ask?..here's a sample:
No, it's not OK.
Mobile Content Blocking
The introduction of iOS 9 gives users the ability to use content blocking on their mobile devices too. Developers have stepped up right away and given users good add-ins. One such content-blocker is Peace, which uses Ghostery data to do it's job. Peace is developed by Marco Arment.
Today, I'm launching my own iOS 9 content blocker, called Peace, to bring peace, quiet, privacy, and — as a nice side benefit — ludicrous speed to iOS web browsing.
This is really a game-changer. It's not the only content blocker, there are a ton. This one uses Ghostery which works really well, so this is at least a solid place to start.
We depend on mobile more and more. Blocking content here helps us reduce bandwidth and speeds up our experience. Even Marco blocks the ads displayed on his site:
The Deck is unusually well-behaved for an ad provider: its ads are small, unintrusive, non-animated, and classy, and while it's loaded by a third-party JavaScript include, it doesn't set cookies or perform any tracking. That's why I publish Deck ads on this site, and why many of my friends and colleagues do as well.
But Peace uses the Ghostery database, and Ghostery includes The Deck. It's classified as "Advertising", and even though it's far nicer than most other entries in the category, it's fair to call it advertising.
Who Loses
Obviously traditional advertises and tracking applications appear to be on the losing end of this wave of content blocking add-ins. The problem is, consumers aren't respected..tons of trackers and advertisements are forced upon us. I don't mind ads from networks like the Deck, they are very tasteful.
Tasteful, unobtrusive should be the goal of advertisers. Ad networks need to rethink how to make this work, take lessons from those like the Deck.
Many people are not happy with content blockers, calling them unfair. What's unfair unknowingly being tracked and advertisements in our face.
Two thumbs up for the content blockers. Go try Ghostery and Peace and see how your web experience improves.
From Products to Platforms – Stratechery by Ben Thompson →
I watched the Apple Special Event on September 9th with excitement. The iPad Pro was announced and has been on my wish list for a long time.
Ben Thompson had an excellent piece on Stratechery, which highlights some points about the event and iPad's future that I hadn't considered.
Talking about Tim Cook's iPad Pro introduction:
Note that phrase: "How could we take the iPad even further?" Cook's assumption is that the iPad problem is Apple's problem, and given that Apple is a company that makes hardware products, Cook's solution is, well, a new product.
It sounds good, Apple recognizes the need for a different iPad, something with more. Bigger, with needed peripherals to make the user's job easier, better.
My contention, though, is that when it comes to the iPad Apple's product development hammer is not enough. Cook described the iPad as "A simple multi-touch piece of glass that instantly transforms into virtually anything that you want it to be"; the transformation of glass is what happens when you open an app. One moment your iPad is a music studio, the next a canvas, the next a spreadsheet, the next a game. The vast majority of these apps, though, are made by 3rd-party developers, which means, by extension, 3rd-party developers are even more important to the success of the iPad than Apple is: Apple provides the glass, developers provide the experience.
So right. The iPad is an excellent device I use everyday, often for long periods of time. 90% of my usage is as a consumption device and very little to produce content. Why? Well, there's not a lot of applications that transform this piece of glass to a device running software I can't live without or use on my MacBook.
It becomes apparent the success of the iPad and now the professional iPad Pro is reliant on developers. Developers who can and are willing to create great apps to take advantage of what these devices can provide.
As an iOS developer, I can attest first-hand how hard it is to make a living on the App Store. It can be done but it's not easy. Apple needs to change the way the App Store works, the way developers have been saying they need it to work:
The problem for iPad developers is three-fold:
First, the lack of trials means that genuinely superior apps are unable to charge higher prices because there is no way to demonstrate to consumers prior to purchase why they should pay more. Some apps can hack around this with in-app purchases, but purposely ruining the user experience is an exceedingly difficult way to demonstrate that your experience is superior.
Secondly, the lack of a simple upgrade path (and upgrade pricing) makes it difficult to extract additional revenue from your best customers; it is far easier to get your fans to pay more than it is to find completely new customers forever. Again, developers can hack around this by simply releasing completely new apps, but it's a poor experience at best and there is no way to reward return customers with better pricing, or, more critically, to communicate to them why they should upgrade.
That there is the third point: Apple has completely disintermediated the relationship between developers and their customers. Not only can developers not communicate news about upgrades (or again, hack around it with inappropriate notifications), they also can't gain qualitative feedback that could inspire the sort of improvements that would make an upgrade attractive in the first place.
The introduction of the iPad Pro is an opportunity for developers and for Apple. It's a chance to truly be able to develop pro-level applications, but it won't happen if things don't change for developers. We have to be able to charge a reasonable amount for our hard work and allow users to try it out. We need to be able to charge for upgrades without having to resort to obscure tactics.
Ben also discusses this in more detail on his Exponent podcast with James Allworth in the Segue episode.
Apple, it's obvious you need the support developers to continue to grow the iOS platform. Apple it has to be more about getting developers to write software for free so you can sell more hardware.

On the iPad Pro and the Constraints of iOS | carpeaqua →
I was hoping we were going to hear some really special news about the new iPad Pro from the recent Apple event. I hoped we were going see the iPad Pro running OS X and an Intel Skylake processor. Why? This would allow such a wide array of existing great applications. Applications like Xcode, Microsoft Office or the Adobe Creative Suite.
Justin Williams beat me to the punch with his thoughts on the iPad Pro:
In their current incarnations, I believe that Windows 10 is better suited to the Surface than iOS is to the iPad Pro.
Granted both Microsoft and Adobe demonstrated tools developed specifically for the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil. It's a clean slate and the invented-for-ipad-pro apps are very few. There are so few apps that even look good and even fewer designed for the iPad today.
And we haven't even started talking about the third-party ecosystem for the iPad. I can count the number of apps on my left hand that are thoughtfully designed for the iPad screen size. Most are, for lack of a better phrase, blown-up iPhone apps. Just this week, Twitter updated their iPad app to be exactly like the iPhone version but with a bit more padding on the edges to make up for the larger screen size. That's fine for the iPad mini and mostly tolerable for the Air. On the iPad Pro? That's approaching clown shoes territory.
I had dreams of using my iPad Pro with Xcode as Microsoft Surface Pro developers are fortunate enough to be able to do with Visual Studio. A truly portable, pro-level, device with powerful applications.
iOS may be a better choice of operating system than OS X here but iOS is the limiting factor. I doubt we will ever see Xcode running on an iPad Pro. Developers are one example of pro-users, that means we have to stick with our MacBooks for the time being.

Spending the day using Swift; it's the future for sure. Swift feels like a cross between Ruby and C#, in a good way. I love writing Swift.
I still love Objective-C but because it's like C++ and not like Ruby. There's a place for both for now.
I really like the idea of microblogging and controlling my own content. I'm going to give it a try. What do think about it?

Mac Tip: Quick Switch Sound Output
I've been an Apple Macintosh user for a long time now, but I often do things the hard way.
I work from home and mix up the work day by listening to podcasts. If the family is around I will put on the headphones as to not disturb them, but some days when I'm alone I remove the headphones and listen through the iMac speakers.
The obvious way to switch from headphones to internal speakers and back again meant I went to System Preferences->Sound, selected the Output tab and then picked which way I wanted to hear the audio. No, not difficult but there has to be a better way.
It turns out there is (otherwise this post was completely pointless). When you go to the Menu Bar you should see the speaker icon. Clicking on it shows you the volume. Here's the key..if you hold down the Option key while you click on the speaker icon you get a nice menu:
There you go switch away, nice and easy. Maybe everyone already knew this, but I doubt it.
A Laptop for Writers – and Developers →
Matt Gemmell:
I used to be a software developer, and my computer use was split between my desktop machine (a big iMac with the maximum amount of RAM, upgraded processor, extra display, and all kinds of attached gadgets), and my "evening or travel" machine. I didn't code, or design, on the evening machine if I could possibly help it – and since I work from home, the big desktop was always within reach.
I've been using the new MacBook for the better part of a month and haven't had much time to write a review just yet, but it's coming. Matt's post pretty much reflects my experience with the new laptop. It's great and the new keyboard and trackpad are fantastic. The keyboard worked for me almost instantly. I had gone into it with the idea I wasn't going to like it. Marco Arment's post about the MacBook came out while my MacBook was on order so I had some doubts.
I have a different use-case with the MacBook. I am a developer, unlike Matt. I use Xcode and Sublime Text for Ruby development. I have no problems using the little MacBook for the projects I build. I use both Xcode 6 and 7. I don't baby the laptop, often have PostgreSQL running alongside an instance or two of Sublime Text and an Xcode IDE up and running. Works great.
No, it's not as fast as my main machine, an iMac 5K, but I didn't expect it to be either.

- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1. In a large bowl, beat the egg, mayonnaise, buttermilk and oil until smooth. Combine the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt; add to egg mixture and beat just until combined.
- 2. Grease an ovenproof 6-in. skillet or round baking dish; dust with cornmeal. Add batter. Bake at 425° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Yield: 2 servings.

Used 2004 Chrysler Coupe Values
Read more Read less
Chrysler, since its downsizing, has shifted its focus on three elements, the three cars that it currently makes and sells: sedans, convertibles and minivans. The carmaker exited the coupe market in 2006, after seeing lackluster sales of their Crossfire model. The Crossfire was an innovatively designed coupe that was offered as a roadster, convertible, coupe, hatchback and hardtop. The Mercedes-built, 3.2-liter six-cylinder engine offered a meager 215 hp, but the SRT-6 sports trim (2005) boasted a 330 hp turnout. After just two years on the market, Chrysler pulled its coupe and shifted its focus.

It's telling that each of the sessions here at the Paradox Convention is meant to last 30 minutes, but the presentation of Pride of Nations lasts an hour. It's a staggering game, epic in scale and minute in detail.
PoN is a simultaneous turn-based strategy game originally designed for simulation of conflicts for previous Paradox games like Rise of Prussia. Their ambition with their new game is to move to a much wider simulation. They still have the military aspects, but also economy, diplomacy, social, and more.
The game begins with the player taking control of a major power. In the example game we're being shown by the game's producer, Philippe Thibaut, he's taken control of England. Each campaign runs between 1850 and 1920, with each individual turn covering just two weeks. That makes a full game 1600 turns long, and even the developer admits he's never finished a game.
At this point in history, Victoria and Albie are the Royals, and Lord John Russell is the Prime Minister. You win the game by gaining a certain number of prestige points, by conquering different regions, building monopolies in trades, and leading your country through dynamic missions the game creates for you. For example, for the next ten years, Britain must be the world's number one producer of steel.
These missions are neat idea for providing players a focused metric for you success, especially in a game that's so complex. Even in the hour I sit with the game, it's hard to get a sense of what it's actually like to play. There are so many distinct parts to running your nation and trying to advance. Let's run through the areas I'm shown.
It's important for every nation to be working on discovering new regions. When you look at the map of Africa near the start, only afew small coastal regions are shown. The rest of the map looks like fudge because you haven't explored those areas yet. To discover these regions you send out expeditionary forces, but it becomes a race against rival countries trying to explore the same places. It's a land grab, where discovering and controlling a region first gives you greater number of actions to perform in those areas. If you're Britain and France reach Africa first, then they might colonise them and set up trade regions before you can get started.
Philippe explains that the military system is quite simple, but it's hard to believe him. The game has over 6000 historical leaders that can direct your troops. Clicking through the menus, you can get detailed breakdowns for the stats of every unit in your entire army. There are dozens of regiments currently under Britain's control in the game we're being shown.
There's a research tree. You don't just put money in and get results back; instead, your money is spent to produce and propogate the inventions of scientists once they're made. If someone invents a new musket, you have to decide whether to give it to your armies, or wait another five or ten years till you reach the next invention and get that instead. There are two currencies too: state funds, and private capital. Your economy is driven by the latter, because in this era of history state money was used to pay armies, and not fund private businesses. Based on the type of population you have, it'll change which kind of money you get. In Britain, with its rich aristocracy, you have a lot of private capital. If you're playing as Russia, however, not so much.
We're shown the commerce screen; there are six different taxes you can tweak. Every menu we're shown is filled with numbers and icons.
It also simulates your population, telling you whether your people are happy or miserable, and whether they like your policies. We're next shown the construction screen, where you can build iron or coal mines, mineral or nitrate quarries, gold or gems fields. This is just under one submenu. You can also build other industry buildings, military buildings, railroads or ports.
To help create conflict, the game has an engine for dynamically generating crises. Events will happen around the world that force a dramatic confrontation between countries: say, for example, an American boat explodes near Cuba. The countries involved, and their allies, are pitted into a negotiation mini-game that works like poker. Everyone puts their stakes on the table, and tries to pressure their opponents into doing what they want. If it doesn't work, war could break out.
In other words, the rules stop you from creating war at will, but if you can manipulate circumstances well enough, you can generate war at the point when you want it to happen.
If two large countries with lots of allies go to war, it could begin a Great War. If that happens, the game's victory conditions change: you don't just need a lot of prestige, but a victorious power of that war. This is designed to stop players quitting halfway through because they've decided they will win no matter what. Like the real world did after World War 1, the world can change dramatically and very suddenly.
To help people hop into the game, there are specific Battle Scenarios you can play. If you just want to play the Russian/Japanese war, you can select a scenario where the map is limited down to just those regions of the world effected. But the main game doesn't start slow and then grow from there. If you choose a country like Britain, you already have a huge empire to manage. They are amongst the hardest country to control. On the other hand, it can be slightly easier if you start with a country like Australia, which have a smaller territory to manage.
Each country has its own style. If you choose Russia, the country is basically a giant farm with nothing but peasants, and it can take a long time to build an industry. But you also have the largest army in the world, meaning few people will try to attack you.
The countries you don't control also have their own objective. When the game begins, America exists only as the East Coast. The AI knows they need to conquer the west coast, unite the country, and attempt to prevent civil war. The idea is that each individual action and area of the game's simulation is simple to control and understand, but that when all these elements are combined, you gain an appreciation for how complicated it is to run a country. "You are not God," explains Philippe. "You are Prime Minister."
At this point we're shown a screen that gives you details of your country, covering Research, Religion, Education, Trade, Economy, Nationalism, Government, Army, Bureaucracy, Society, Power Projection and Organisation. Just looking at the stats is giving me a nosebleed.
Oh god, Philippe just turned on the weather overlay, showing how hot or cold it is in each area. This influences the military model, where your soldiers if not properly equipped could find themselves dying in the snow.
All of this detail is an obvious concern when it comes to making a game accessible, but I'm quickly realising while looking at the games here that it doesnt mater. Not everthing has to be accesible, and the amount of detail in Pride of Nations is staggering. In terms of scale, this is as impressive as any open world in something like Grand Theft Auto IV. It just doesn't look as good.

Nadir Ciftci goes round Rangers' Steve Simonsen, after an error by the keeper, to score during Dundee United's 3-1 Scottish Cup semi-final win last season at Ibrox
Christopher Jack, Group Senior Sports Writer / / Sport
STEVE SIMONSEN is confident Rangers' strength in depth will stand them in good stead as they bid for a third straight promotion this season.
The keeper became Ally McCoist's fourth signing of the summer last week when he agreed a 12-month deal and was followed into Ibrox just hours later by defender Marius Zaliukas as he signed on for the next two years.
It looked like Simonsen had played his last game for the Light Blues after leaving the club when his contract expired at the end of the League One campaign.
But, after appearing in a bounce game win over English Championship side Fulham last week, he has been snapped up by boss McCoist to provide competition to Ibrox No.1 Cammy Bell once again in the coming months.
McCoist has also bolstered his ranks with the capture of St Mirren defender Darren McGregor and rekindled the prolific strike partnership of Kris Boyd and Kenny Miller as the Gers get set for the big kick-off.
The step up into Scotland's second tier will present the toughest stage of The Journey for Rangers, but veteran shot-stopper Simonsen is confident the Light Blues can triumph in a division that will also include Captal clubs Hearts and Hibernian this term.
Promoted stories
He said: "It's going to be a very tough league this season. We played three of the sides (Queen of the South, Falkirk and Raith Rovers) we will face last year in cup competitions and they gave us tough games.
"We know what it's going to be like. Two teams came down from the Premiership last season and they are both going to be very strong as well.
"But we are very strong ourselves and we feel very confident we can go and do what we need to. We've a good squad of players with good additions to it.
"When you see the likes of Kenny Miller and Kris Boyd come in that only helps. We are strong in all departments and we'll be very well prepared to go ahead and do well."
While the likes of McGregor, Boyd and Miller are likely to play starring roles for Rangers in the coming months, Simonsen may find match action difficult to come by once again next time out.
The 35-year-old played second fiddle to Bell for most of the campaign and made just two appearances, impressing in a League One clash with Forfar before enduring an afternoon to forget against Dundee United in the Scottish Cup.
It is his howler against the Arabs rather than a superb stop at Station Park that his first season in Light Blue will be remembered for, but he is determined to have more positive recollections this time around after clinching his return to the club.
"It was difficult last season because I didn't get much game time, but in one of my games there was a highlight and in another there was a real lowlight," he told rangers.co.uk
SIMONSEN added: "These things happen in football, but I'm old enough and experienced enough to brush these things aside and I take the good with the bad.
"It's simply nice to be back here again. Last year I thought I was going to be here for a season and that was it.
"If I could remain here long than that I thought that would be fantastic and I'm really pleased to be back and to have a further chance with the club."

Thousands of teams from more than 70 countries around the world competed in the Imagine Cup National Finals this year, and earlier this month, 34 of those teams traveled to Seattle to compete in the Imagine Cup World Finals. Imagine Cup is an exciting, vibrant event that challenges students to use Microsoft technology to develop innovative solutions. The year-long contest gives students the opportunity to compete in three categories – Games, Innovation and World Citizenship – for a spot at the World Finals, this year held in Seattle, Washington. As part of the World Citizenship category, we saw some really interesting projects that addressed environmental sustainability issues, in particular electricity consumption. Here are the two that made it to the World Finals:
Team Brainy Studio (Russia) – 1st Place Winner, Games Competition
Russia's team, Brainy Studio, created a game called TurnOn, which is the story about a living electrical spark named Turnon; the aim of its life is to provide electricity to the city. The user has the opportunity to control a character that can influence peoples' lives in a big city without electricity. The story for this game was inspired by "Earth Hour," when individuals and companies around the world turns off lights to raise awareness of the economical use of electricity. The team saw that electricity is all around us, and people are so used to it that they do not notice and save it. But what if the electricity suddenly disappeared? Brainy Studio decided to develop a game to model this situation.

Two new styles of imaged proofer transfer rolls are now available from HarperScientific, the printing and coating division of anilox supplier Harper Corporation of America, Charlotte, NC, USA. The laser-engraved proofer transfer rolls are imaged with a choice of company logo or a centered tone scale of 10, 35, 50 and 75 percent with a 100 percent solid on either side.
A custom imaged proofer roll (from customer-supplied graphic file) is a simple method to identify ink room proofs to customers. The tone scaled roll can be used to predict how the mid-tone should be corrected for different stocks. The result allows prepress to correct for the varying dot gains of different stocks.
The imaged proofer transfer rolls are available in either a 45 or 55 durometer EPDM.
The transfer roll option adds new functions to HarperScientific's Phantom and Phantom QD bladed hand proofers, according to Tony Donato, product development engineer at Harper. He says the option will especially benefit companies that print screens with spot colors by indicating how a stock responds to screens and how to cut them back to optimize outcome.

Picture: Vicky McClure - Louis Vuitton Dinner on New Bond Street to celebrate the Men's Autumn Winter 2013 Collection - Departures - London, United Kingdom -...
British actress Vicky McClure has found love with her on-screen boyfriend after shooting music movie Svengali last year (12).
The Filth and Wisdom star was asked to audition for the role after writer and actor Jonny Owen heard her being interviewed on the radio, and she quickly signed up to play his character's partner.
But life imitated art as soon as filming began and the pair has now settled down together in her native Nottingham, England.
She tells Britain's Marie Claire, "We met through Svengali and clicked straight away. I was, like, 'Oh my God!' It's a story I share with my single friends and say, 'It actually does happen sometimes!' I just knew.
"I just felt connected to him. He's a very good man. Kind, funny, generous. A real bloke - he likes football and a beer. He's not at all industry. We live a very normal life in Nottingham."
