Possibly have it figured out (no not everything)!
Friday, May 24, 2013
Ok, so I have been struggling on getting on SP and tracking everything on here. Just not enough hours in the day. I found that it is easier for me to track all day long, using my ipod, and the next day, when I have downtime in the mornings (or on breaks at work), I can log in to SP, and take care of the stuff here I need to take care of. I know, today is day one of this, and it's easy to say, but I really think it will work! So that part I have figured out (I hope).
I also have figured out that puppies need to be watched... CONSTANTLY. lol
I haven't figured out yet though, how to add those extra hours into the day and still get a good nights sleep. I guess that is something I have to keep working on! I do have the working out routine locked down, that is good. I have learned that I needed to re-prioritize everything in my life. My son is 13, not 3, and he can do a lot more that I give him credit for! Also, my wonderful husband, has been helping a lot, however he is not 3 either and I need to keep on him to pick up after himself lol. Over the years I have forgotten how to take care of myself. And through out my journey, I have realized (recently) that I need to take care of ME first. That it is not being selfish, however it's more like if I'm not healthy and in a good mood, then it's hard to help the rest of the family. I am number one in my life, and up until now I have been number 2 to my son, then number 3 to my son and husband, and I kept getting moved down the list, and my life was spiraling out of control. I have regained control (for the most part), and it feels great! My husband has picked up on it, and I'm hoping my son will too. I realize that in my son's stage in life, he is figuring out a lot right now, and I'm sure he is overwhelmed. I hope that I can help him with that. It's hard being a teenager, I realize, and I hope with my renewed energy, I can be a good role model/friend/and parent to my little boy (he will always be my little boy).
On that note, I am going to get back to work, and I am going to try to figure out when I can find time to upload pics of my puppy Remi, and her big sister Jazz. lol

Iowa State releases non-conference hoops schedule for 2014-15
Chris Williams
Iowa State's non-conference basketball for the 2014-15 season is a mystery no longer. The school released the early season slate of games on Wednesday morning and if you are a regular reader of CycloneFanatic.com, there were no surprises.
The slate is headlined by a trip to the CBE Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City that will be held the Monday and Tuesday of Thanksgiving. Iowa State's schedule for that event is listed as TBA, but it is already known that Alabama, Arizona State and Maryland are the other three teams that will be playing in Kansas City's Sprint Center. Per a source, Iowa State should know its first opponent in the next few weeks.
Of course, the Cyclones will host Arkansas on Dec. 4 in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.
The Razorbacks aren't the only SEC foe that Iowa State will tussle with next season. Iowa State will head east to tip off the new year on Jan. 3 for a neutral court game (in the Barclays Center) vs. South Carolina and notably, former Kansas State head coach Frank Martin.

Thursday, March 8, 2012
Last night, MrB and I went to a screening of the HBO movie Game Change, which premieres on HBO on Saturday. The movie is based on the book of the same name, written by journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin about the 2008 presidential campaign. The book covers Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, the Republican primaries and John McCain. The movie focuses more narrowly on McCain and especially his choice of Sarah Palin, then the little-known governor of Alaska, as his vice presidential running mate.
A friend of mine who had read the book before seeing the movie thought the latter was kinder to Sarah Palin. Julianne Moore certainly delivered an empathetic portrayal of a charismatic woman who is uneducated and apparently uneducable. I felt for Moore-as-Palin when the unrealistic expectations placed on the ill-vetted candidate cause her to slip into a near-catatonic stupor. An Emmy for Julianne Moore would get my vote.
I decided to break out an unworn pair of boots for the preview. I figured it's now or never for boots. Seeing as the temperature in New York City is in the high 60s in March, April's will probably be in the 90s. That's not good boot-wearing weather. I got the boots at Prada in January thanks to a combination of the post-holiday sale and a birthday gift from my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB. It's been my policy since 2008 to get something out of the norm whenever a sale and a gift arrive at the same time, which is how I ended up with these.
I tried on the boots in the store while wearing my uniform of jeans, black t-shirt and interesting jacket. Everything seems to go so well with that! Last night, I realized I had no idea what else I could wear with the boots, so I hurriedly put on a lot of black. I couldn't decide if the blush-tone suede made me look like I was wearing knee socks, or like I had unnaturally thick leg skin. Also, my knees looked as uneven as the surface of the moon next to the suede. Over all, I felt a little silly. I don't mind looking silly if I'm doing it intentionally, but I wasn't aiming for silly last night.
What Wendy Wore
Sweater and skirt: Alexander McQueen (2004)
Boots: Prada (2012)
Expression: Uncomfortable
Pose: Stiff
I'll have to come up with a different look for the boots' next outing — something with tights, as much as I hate to wear those. Got any ideas? Leave them in the comments.
22 Responses to "What Wendy Wore: Crazy Legs at "Game Change""
Love the dog picture…cute outfit!
What about something like colored or patterned tights. Or you could wear it with a pencil skirt that hits just at the top or just over the top of the boots. I think they would go really good with red too.
They're gorgeous boots, but I know how you feel – I have some pieces I just can't quite work out how to wear. Personally I would have gone for plain black tights (something of a uniform for me right now) and then a shorter skirt to show off those bad girls. The black tights (or perhaps leggings – though I don't really approve of them) would show off the lovely pink suede and clearly define them as boots rather than sock or leg.
Lovely boots. I bet you could play off the retro-maryjane look of them fine. They'd look smashing with a red dress (casual or dressy).
I have similar issues with my farylrobin boots. The suede part looks like socks or something massively distorted my ankles. They're stretching a bunch as they've been worn too so it only gets worse!
Poochie voted for red too…hmmmm.
I don't agree about the silly. I love the trompe l'oeil effect the blush suede has the way you wore the boots here.
I wonder how cool the boots would look with black top, black (short!!!) mini, black tights. Superb, I bet.
Yup, the boots are incredible but tricky! You look great, don't worry(!!!). I would also try black fishnets; I think they look good with everything.
P.S. My anti-spam word is rickroll. Is this a joke? As in Rick Astley rickroll, i.e. "I've been rickrolled"?
I think I'm in the minority, but I think the boots look great with this outfit!
I agree! I think it works beautifully!!
Love those boots. I think some black tights would have helped you feel more comfy although I reckon it looks good as is. I wear boots with skirts/frocks of this length a lot, it's kind of my go to look.
The more I look at your boots, the more I love them. I wish I had access to such delights. Where they online anywhere? You look fucking awesome x
I love those boots and I think you wear them well with that outfit. Gigi's little face! All puzzled, like you've tossed your legs at her and said "Walk yourself from now on!"
Hi Wendy, loved these boots! I think you could pair them with the Alexander McQueen top you wore in Miami (I read your blog you know!) and black pencil skirt!! Or with anything dull neon green (I mean not shiny neon!) Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
I love those Prada crazy leg boots – I'd wear them all the time to hide my varicose veins.
I want to hear more about the film. That picture of Gigi is sooo funny. She looks totally confused by your boots — possibly wondering if they're shoes with your (thick) leg skin! LOL
BTW, I'm not sure about black hose/tights with those boots. Would look cute and color blocked, but I think the illusion of the "flesh colored" suede is a very cool concept.
cool boots!! also loved the check me out nail art!

Remember the Blake Coverup we posted last month? Well, we wished it was a dress, and our wish came true! Alexander Wang's Merino Rib Square Neck Dress ($315) features sheer stripes, just like the coverup, but its knit fabric base gives it a more refined look. You'll probably want to wear a slip underneath this one, and you won't even have to worry about it feeling too bulky since the dress itself is pretty lightweight.

Here is a link to the product manual, some great info regarding connections and functions.
do you have a manual for the stereo one Jack?
The Dualcore is the stereo one Ron, the other 2 are for mono only, it's just one takes a mono signal from say a surround sound processor and the other takes a stereo input and outputs to a mono sub. It is possible to use 2 subs though using the phase inversion switch on one of the subs (or connecting one out of phase) which would work fine.
here are some connection examples for the cheaper units.
Heres the manual for both cheaper units.
good man thanks
Here is a great FAQ for the Dualcore, the product is evolving fast via firmware as users expand and the feedback comes in regarding devices connected to it and users needs, the company seems more than happy to change and add to the firmware in the direction of what the customer wants. It's quite refreshing to deal with them!
YHPM regarding the input sensitivity setting.
I was surprised to see I had missed a few updates already; as you say they seem to be very keen to keep the customers happy.
Bump, sending out some more units Monday morning via courier, any takers for the last stock one before I reorder?
I got one deliiverd last night, Great personal service from Jack. The Dual Core is so easy to set up and use. I have been thinking about addressing room issues for a while. now. Bass was getting boomy at higher volumes.
Previously I had My Laptop, Sky box and BDP hooked up to the Digital in connections on my Wadia 861. I wanted to be able to use the DSPeaker on all these so I got a 4 to 1 remote S/pdif splitter. I also connected the Digital out from my Wadia to the splitter. I then connected the single output to the DSP in and out to the Wadia DAC S/Pdif in.
I used the RCA analogue in and out for TT duties. ( you can also select analogue in and digital out, sending your TT through the Wadia DAC.
First attempt at running the test tones had my TV and Guitar vibrating like hell. After curing these problems I ran the Room set up again and the bass problem is gone. Mids and highs are also cleaned up. Great result. messing with the House curve etc features now but it got it pretty much right first time. No lack of bass, just less wooly.
Glad you had an easy setup Gary, it'd be interesting to see a photo of your before/after screen to see where it's doing the business.
- - - Updated - - -
Ps, more stock arriving Monday for those interested in ordering.
Pretty flat now .
Seriously considering one of these for use with a tapped horn, to run 20-50hz under the Tannoys.
Question - I'm thinking the tapped horn can be mono at these frequencies, would I need the mono or stereo one? (would be stereo out from the integrated - assuming I can get the V20 modded for to give a pre-out - but mixing down somewhere along the line to mono before going into a separate amp for the tapped horn (most likely a Topping like Speedysteve uses) and into a single mono speaker driving the tapped horn enclosure.
I'm assuming the correction unit will ensure a flat cure to 50hz without me having to mess around with the Tannoy crossover? (If i went up to 140hz I'd need stereo tapped horns and alterations to the crossover).
Agreed Paul, with the sort of kit you have Tom the Dualcore would make more sense, you could run everything through it and sort out any niggles with the Tannoys too, it is a much more powerful device, that said if the Stereo one is attracting you yes it takes a Stereo feed and mixes to mono and will do the basic correction fine for a tapped horn.
More stock now ready for dispatch.

A&E channel called off the suspension of Phil Robertson in a statement late Friday after criticism from "Duck Dynasty" fans, according to USA Today on Dec. 27.
Phil Robertson was put on "indefinite" suspension by A&E on Dec. 18 after a controversial interview with GQ Magazine where he made some anti-gay comments.
Robertson defended his statements, saying they were based on his personal religious beliefs and teachings of the Bible, but following protests from human-rights groups, A&E announced that Robertson would be suspended from future episodes.
In a statement by the entire Robertson family on Dec. 19, they admitted that their patriarch used "coarse language" during the interview, but also said that "Phil would never incite or encourage hate".
The Robertson family also said in the statement that they would rather walk away from the show than continue filming without Phil.
In a statement on Friday issued by the network, A&E again expressed their disappointment in the statements Robertson made in the interview, and made it clear that they are not "views we hold".
A&E's statement then went on to say that "Duck Dynasty is not a show about one man's views. It resonates with a large audience because it is a show about family… a family that America has come to love. As you might have seen in many episodes, they come together to reflect and pray for unity, tolerance and forgiveness."
After discussions with the Robertson family, as well as consulting with numerous advocacy groups, A&E has decided to resume filming Duck Dynasty later this spring with the entire Robertson family.
"Duck Dynasty" fans and Robertson family supporters attempted a boycott against the network after Phil's indefinite hiatus and collected more than 250,000 signatures for Phil's reinstatement.
"Duck Dynasty" is currently the second most popular show on cable TV behind "The Walking Dead". Both A&E and the Robertson family stood to lose millions of dollars during the stand-off.
Currently, nine of the 10 episodes of the fifth season have been filmed and will begin airing on Jan. 15.

Inbee Park tied a course record with a take-no-prisoners final round total of 10-under 61 yesterday to nail down her 10th LPGA Tour title at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic on Grey Silo Golf Course.
Park finished three shots clear of American Cristie Kerr and was awarded the winner's cheque of $225,000.
The 25-year-old South Korean played the front nine in 5-under 31 and had only one bogey in the entire tournament – on the fourth hole during the first round on Thursday.
Park becomes the third different player to win the Manulife Financial LPGA. She had previously finished T14 in 2013 and T2 in 2012, losing in a four-player, three-hole playoff. She is projected to remain at No. 2 in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings.
Kerr shot a stellar round of 8-under 63 to secure her solo second place finish and picked up $136,903.
China's Shanshan Feng came in third alone after carding a 3-under 68. Feng banked $99,314 for her solid effort.
Fan favourite Michelle Wie had a nice tournament. Wie ended up T6 at 15-under 69 and $46,471 richer.
Top Canadian honours went to Sue Kim for her T35 performance. Kim posted rounds of 71, 70, 67 and 68 to close out the event at 8-under 276. She earned a tidy cheque worth $9,032.
Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls and Hamilton's Alena Sharp were the next best Canucks at T45.
Henderson, who holds amateur status, landed at 6-under 278 following consistent rounds of 70, 71, 69 and 68.
Sharp shot rounds of 73, 69, 65 and 71 to pocket $5,921.
Meanwhile, tournament organizers were thankful for the efforts put in by all involved.
"It's really exciting to see how proud the community is to have this world-class event in Waterloo Region," said Richard Kuypers, tournament director. "I want to thank Manulife Financial's commitment to the tournament and volunteerism. We are grateful to the volunteers, fans, players, St. Mary's General Hospital and everyone who played a role in making this tournament one of the player's favourite stops on the tour."

New U.S. trustbuster sprays cold brew on AB InBev
William Baer, the DoJ's antitrust chief, sued to stop the giant brewer's $20 bln purchase of 50 pct of Modelo. AB InBev had tried to allay competition fears with the deal's structure. Baer's surprise move suggests a thirst for tough enforcement - or at least a tough reputation.

LHS will have a new head football coach next season. Cliff Abbott will not be the head coach after three seasons as rule 10 head coach. USD 480 sent the following press release Thursday afternoon regarding the head football coaching position.
Head football coach Cliff Abbott and Liberal High School have agreed to part ways. USD 480 would like to thank coach Abbott for his leadership and time spent at Liberal High School.
Coach Abbott was the head coach at Liberal High School for three years. The Redskins amassed a record of 9-19 and advanced to the playoffs once during his tenure as head coach. Coach Abbott has strong family ties as well as a construction business in Liberal and will continue to be a proud Redskin supporter. We appreciated coach Abbott's dedication to the football program and his passion to the Liberal community.
USD 480 and Liberal High School will begin accepting applications for Abbott's replacement immediately.

1990 - 1994
Four years on, it became bilingual French-German (DER HUF) with the English version joining these in August 1994 (EUROPEAN FARRIERS JOURNAL)
The journal's development moved to a brisk gallop in June 1996 with the launch of a second edition published in English, Spanish, and Italian under the respective titles of EUROPEAN FARRIERS JOURNAL, EL HERRADOR, and INFOR MASCALCIA.
As we moved into the 21st century the journal was being sent out to 68 countries around the world and building steadily upon its success. The world's leading specialists in equine locomotion published articles of world renown in its pages and the highly international flavour of its readership went well beyond Europe's borders. That is why it shed the restrictive adjective "European" to become THE FARRIERS JOURNAL in January 2001.
The changes continued: In June 2004 we began publishing the journal in Dutch (De Hoef) and Swedish (Hovslagarmagasinet ), still alongside the English text, in a third edition. In February 2006 the decision was taken to give each language its own edition. In a unique development in publishing and of course farriery, we now have a trade journal that comes out in seven languages!
The development of Internet provides an additional aspect to its readership by opening up exciting new perspectives. Our web site and its interactivity meet the demands of increasing numbers of surfers. Better locomotor comfort for horses and a more fulfilling life for farriers and professionals in the horse world are the logical consequences of this development

A new UCLA study on cell metabolism could lead to treatments for viral infections as well as cancer. A research team led by Minh Thai, a post-doctoral scholar, and Heather Christofk, an assistant professor of molecular and medical pharmacology, published their findings online on April 1 in the journal Cell Metabolism.
The study authors note that their study is the first to explain how viruses reprogram the cells they invade to promote their continued growth within an organism. They explain that their findings could have implications in cancer treatments based the on similarities between viruses and cancer cell mechanisms; thus, they could possibly lead to the development of drugs that could inhibit viruses, such as the one that causes the common cold.
The investigators note that a cell's metabolism basically entails processes that go on within the cell, which are a group of physical and chemical events that feed and maintain the cell, allow it to reproduce, and eventually decide when it will die off and be replaced by its daughter cells. When a virus infects a cell, it initiates changes in the cell's metabolism; thus, reprogramming the cell in such a manner that it stimulates maintenance and reproduction of the virus. It is known that viruses reprogram cells; however, the molecular mechanisms that a virus uses to accomplish this were previously unknown.
Past studies have reported that when normal cells degenerate into cancer cells, they are reprogrammed to act in a somewhat similar manner to that of virus-infected cells. This means that the cells alter their metabolism to support the maintenance and reproduction of these altered cells; thus, the cancer cells spread. Dr. Christofk explained, "In our laboratory, we've always been interested in how cancer cells acquire metabolic changes compared to normal cells. We decided to look at viruses and how they change the metabolism of cells they invade, because we thought they might be using mechanisms similar to those in cancer cells, and that there might be some crossover in the way the mechanisms work." He added, "We hoped that by finding out how viruses reprogram cell metabolism we could learn more about how cancer cells do it."
The research team found that an adenovirus, which causes the common cold, reprograms the cell it invades to be able to absorb more glucose, which is an important nutrient for cells and viruses. The virus also reprograms the cell to increase its use of the glucose to increase energy and biomass (grow larger). These metabolic changes empower the virus to begin replicating inside the cell; thus, explaining how the virus reprograms the cells to its own benefit. Dr. Thai explained, "With this knowledge we hope to begin designing drugs that can inhibit the increased glucose uptake in these cells. This could lead to drugs that stop the growth of viral infections, the most common being like cold or flu, but also meningitis or some types of pneumonia. Then it might be possible to use the same type of drug to stop the growth of cancer cells."

I'm running VisualSVN Server on a machine which is a member of a domain (it's Windows Server 2008 R2). Now I'm trying to grant myself permissions to access a repository. I right-click on Repository node, click "Properties", then "Add". Standard "Select Users or Groups" dialog pops out, but what's strange about it is that it has "DEV" as "From this location", although other non-VisualSVN Server windows have domain name as Location:
After adding myself (I'm in the LDAP directory), here's what VisualSVN displays in Repository Properties:
And finally, try as I might, I cannot access the repository. Event Log entry for VisualSVN Server says this:
LookupAccountSid() failed. (OS 1332) No mapping between account names and security IDs was done. [client 192.168.0.94]
What can I do to resolve this problem?

Reviews for Chili For Two
"This was tasty and fast. I used Mexican tomato sauce w/jalapenos instead of the diced tomatoes. I also used a little shake of chili flakes instead of chili powder. I omitted the cumin as I didn't have it and it all came out delicious!"
"This was a little "bland" for my husband, so I altered it a little. I swapped out the diced tomatoes for Rotel Medium diced tomatoes. He liked it very much, but still thought it could be a little spicier."
"I made this recipe with hamburger once it was very good. The next time I subtitled the hamburger with hot Italian sausage, made it a little spicier."
"This was the best chili I've ever had. My husband also enjoyed it."
"This is great easy basic recipe for chili that tastes wonderful. Great for 2 people or a family of 3. I made it for my boyfriend and myself and had a good extra serving leftover. I served with cornbread, super yummy! :)"

Andi went to her Twitter page saying, "Am I dreaming?!? Insanely grateful, happy and most of all ready to find love!!! #cloudnine." She is obviously very happy to get this job and plans to make the best of it. She has made it clear that she is looking to find love, but JP just didn't end up being the one for her and that is okay.
Fans are going to her Twitter telling her how excited they are to have her as the next one handing out roses. Last night she appeared on "After the Final Rose" to announce the big news and was nothing but smiles when talking to Chris Harrison. She actually had to take time off of her very important job as an Assistant District Attorney to do the show.
"The Bachelorette" 2014 will air this summer on ABC.

Morgan Stanley's Redemption Day
Morgan Stanley was in need of a good pat on the back.
It got one today from Palo Alto CEO Mark MacLaughin, whose company went public today under the guidance of Morgan Stanley's tech bankers and promptly soared on the New York Stock Exchange.
Palo Alto, recently trading 33% higher than its boosted IPO price, employed Morgan Stanley tech team led by banker Michael Grimes. The much vaunted team's halo has dulled in the wake of the Facebook IPO debacle, particularly amid questions of why Facebook took the unusual step of increasing both its price and share count ahead of its debut.
But the team still does great work, said MacLaughlin, who appeared on CNBC this morning and was asked by WSJ's own Dennis K. Berman what he thought of Morgan Stanley's work.
"I would like to thank them, particularly Michael Grimes," MacLaughlin said. "They just did a fantastic job. And I know there was a lot of noise about Facebook. As far as Palo Alto was concerned, that never entered into the conversation…It was always about Palo Alto."
When asked if he'd use the bankers again, MacLaughlin said the team, which also included Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, worked well together and that he'd "recommend any of them." He also said the team did a "great job" on the pricing and valuation of the deal. Palo Alto had boosted its price range and then priced above that expected high.
In the wake of the Facebook IPO, Grimes's control of the process raised questions and there was reported friction between Morgan Stanley and other bankers, which included Goldman and J.P. Morgan.
But today is offering some redemption for the firm. With Palo Alto's surge came Kayak Software, a deal also led by Morgan Stanley, along with Deutsche Bank. Kayak, while taking a long time to get priced, is up 26% in its debut.
Friday's deals also follow Morgan-Stanley led ServiceNow, which priced its offering in late June and leapt 37% on day one. That stock remains up 34%. Some market participants said they thought ServiceNow was priced attractively to help Morgan Stanley shed some of the lingering issues from Facebook.
With Friday's performances, Morgan Stanley can notch another victory, even if the rest of the bank is facing new questions following its earnings report.

The television show COPS has been a phenomenon for nearly 20 years. Now the creators of the show are hoping to do the same thing with a new show following sheriff's departments around the country. One of the first stops on the show is right here in Warren County featuring the most re-elected sheriff in the nation.
WBKO's Ryan Dearbone has more on how Sheriff Jerry "Peanuts" Gaines who will soon be hitting the small-screen nationwide.
"The sheriff is the people's office. They vote for you. You're their law enforcement. They look at it like you are theirs," Gaines said.
Now Gaines will belong to the rest of the nation as part of the new FOX series, "The Sheriff." The show will focus on unique sheriffs from across the country. The show's host, John Bonnell, said Peanuts was an easy choice to profile.
"We were looking for interesting sheriffs. Sheriffs who'd be willing to speak the truth and be very sincere in their approach, their philosophy in regards to law enforcement. Peanuts is one of our top ten choices," Bonnell said.
Gaines said Bonnell approached him a week ago about being profiled.
"He called me last week saying he wanted to go to different-sized sheriff's department. They went to Jacksonville, into Alabama, Birmingham, and he wanted to come to Bowling Green," Gaines said.
The shows creator and Executive Producer, Paul Stojanovich, said Peanuts colorful personality made shooting the show extremely easy.
"He's so vibrant and even more than that. He's just an honest, straight-shooting guy. Its really easy to magnetize to someone who has that type of charisma and that kind of care for people in his town," Stojanovich said.
Gaines said he feels the show will be a great way to show off Warren County and its decorated sheriff's department.
Producers of "The Sheriff" will return in April 2007 to continue shooting the episode featuring Gaines. The show also plans on covering some other sheriffs throughout Kentucky.
The episode of "The Sheriff" featuring Gaines will air this summer on WBKO-FOX.

Samsung Bada is a dud. Less than 10 million shipped, sales 50% below expectations and falling
Samsung Bada is a dud.
Its sales stopped growing sometime early this year. Today Samsung is selling less Bada phones then they've been selling a year ago. And current Samsung Bada powered Wave handset sales are at least 50% lower then what Samsung was projecting at the end of 2010.
My first doubts that there is something wrong with Bada sales surfaced few months ago, when "10 million Bada devices sold" news release never arrived .
As you may have noticed, Samsung is very happy to report whenever one of its products reaches some significant milestone. Late last year Samsung said that they plan to sell 10 million Bada devices in the first half of 2011. On top of 5 million they were planning to move in 2010. So, if everything went according to plan, there should have been at least two Bada related announcements this year already:
- a total of 10 million Bada phones sold (5 mil in 2010 and 5 mil in 2011),
- then 10 million of Bada handsets sold in 2011.
It is almost 3 months since the first half of 2011 ended, and we are still waiting for any 2011 Bada related news releases.
The second hint that something is wrong in Badaland came last week, with the reports that Samsung is planning to open source Bada next year. You never do that if your proprietary OS is a success.
Today, if the slide obtained by Sammy Hub is real, we get some numbers to see how Samsung Bada is doing this year. And the numbers aren't pretty at all:
Forget about Samsung's plans to sell 10 million Bada phones in the first half of 2011. They weren't able to ship even half of that.
In fact, Samsung now plans to reach 10 million total cumulative Wave device sales sometime at end of October/beginning of November. Which means that instead of growing, Samsung Bada sales started declining this year. In 2010 it took them 8 months to ship the first 5 million devices with a homegrown OS. This year it will take 11 months to do the same. In a smartphone market that is growing at 70% a year – these are dismal results, on par with Nokia's, RIM's and Windows Phone performance.
Of course, Samsung is is smart enough not to depend on the success of Bada. And its gains with Android handsets more then offset any losses from Bada.
But as far as Sammy's ambitions to have its own smartphone OS go, its prospects look very dim for now. Maybe Bada Meego hook-up, if it ever happens, will help to get both fledgling projects off the ground. Though I am not holding my breath here.

It's the Fourth of July and while we celebrate the founding of our great nation, I'm amused by the dialogue of purity that surrounds our constitution. Isn't the literal interpretation of any document inherently subjective? Times have undoubtedly changed the way Americans live. Is the fight for constitutional purity in the benefit of a progressive nation? One that strives to lead the world in human rights (whether you think they're "natural," God-given or constitutional), security and peace? If the constitution wasn't meant to be amended, wouldn't the founders have left that governmental function out of it? Instead of asking who's more in line with the thinking of the founding fathers — who didn't conceive of modern medicine, global economies, the internet — isn't it more important that our contemporary government serve all its citizens instead of an ideal frozen in time? Reihan Salam writes today (@reihansalam), "I'm a sentimental nationalist. But I can imagine better institutional arrangements than the 1776 Constitution."
