Grace and Ajay met in school, fell in love, and on March 20th, the first day of Spring, celebrated their blooming love!
The night before the wedding, the bridal party stayed overnight onsite at the The Old Mill Inn and Spa. Bright and early, Maggie Ng arrived to do hair and makeup, while Boston Images took photos.
I arrived at the reception venue, the Oakville Conference Centre, bright and early, to verify setup (ivory damask table cloths with black chair covers), put out the votive candles we picked up at wholesale, and tuck Grace and Ajay's personalized wedding favours (plantable seed cards) into the pocked-folded linen napkins at each place setting.
After ensuring that everything was set up at the reception venue, I arrived at The Old Mill with the ceremony flowers and personal flowers created by Jessica at Fleurish Design Studio. The men wore lime green cymbidium orchid boutonnieres, while the girls and Bride carried brightly-coloured, Spring-inspired bouquets wrapped in purple satin ribbon, with the bride's bouquet finished off in classic ivory satin.
At the Old Mill Chapel, Reverend Allan Logan married Grace and Ajay in a candlelit ceremony in the presence of a small group of their wedding guests. (This photo is from the Old Mill website. Unfortunately, with the low-lighting at the chapel, it was impossible for me to take any photos of the Ceremony with my little, hot pink, point-and-shoot camera, so I'll have to wait until Boston Images work their photographic magic and send me some teasers!)
An organist, made available by the venue, played romantic renditions of processional classics while the Mothers of the Bride and Groom, and 5 groomsmen, made their way to the front of the chapel. They were followed by 5 bridesmaids in stunningly elegant knee-length, purple dresses.
Throughout the day, I had the opportunity to work alongside some fantastic vendors for this event, including Chris from Fresh Canadian Content , who was chosen to capture highlights of the day on video. Also, Zorka, Paul, Eva, and their associates, at the Oakville Conference Centre, where Grace and Ajay entertained over 400 guests for dinner and their culturally-infused wedding reception.
A unique Guestbook Alternative greeted wedding guests in the pre-function space: a scroll custom-created for Grace and Ajay while the two were in Hong Kong. At the "photo booth", the couple put on wedding attire and their images were superimposed onto some creative backgrounds. (a more standard guestbook was also hand-created by the bride for those wishing to leave lengthier messages).
The couple sat at a sweetheart head table, behind their stunning wedding cake created by Zahra at Art House Desserts.
Though I knew that the event would be Indian-infused, I hadn't given much thought to the incredible blending of Asian (Oriental and Indian) culture that would take place when 400+ guests came together in a single room. From the spectacular ethnic clothing to the food (with special Indian appetizers delivered by Avani Asian Indian Bistro in Mississauga), right down to the Bollywood dance performances put on by school-aged children (taught dance lessons by the groom's mother), this wedding reception was one to remember! (All in tune to the fantastic musical stylings of Rav, DJ Double AA himself – one of the top South Asian DJ's)
Lessons learned throughout this event:
1) Save A Wedding kits are useful to save more than just the wedding - (two other weddings required the use of helpful items in my kit prior to the commencement of the actual wedding I was coordinating)
2) Reliable wedding party members are a wedding planner's best friend (thank you to an amazing group of bridesmaids and groomsmen!)
3) Indian culture is absolutely fascinating – and their wedding attire is breathtaking!
4) Outgoing and personable MC's are the key to a smoothly-flowing event (Thanks to a cousin of the bride and the sister of the groom, we kept this wedding reception running like clockwork, literally down to the MINUTE!)
5) Local, recreational dance groups are a fantastic option for performances at a wedding!
6) Personalized, plantable seed favors are a HUGE hit among guests! The bride and groom ordered theirs at Botanical PaperWorks
7) Regardless of any budget, candles are a MUST!

One significant oversight is stop
start technology. Overseas stop-start technology is
featured on a host of models, including the Audi A3 TDI, BMW
1-Series, BMW 3-Series, Mazda
2, Mini Cooper, Toyota Yaris. The technology is somewhat
expensive -- it's about $500 extra to install -- however, it's more
than worth it, providing fuel economy gains of around 7 percent.
EPA's flawed test cycle, though, currently only includes one stop so
the tech only earns automakers a 0.1 or 0.2 mpg increase in the
official EPA mileage estimates, despite much larger real world
gains. Without the extra rating to justify the extra costs,
manufacturers simply haven't been importing the tech on U.S. models.
Currently, the only vehicles to feature the tech are hybrids such
as the Toyota
Prius, Honda Insight, Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid and BMW
ActiveHybrid X6, as their electric systems allow the tech to be
implemented at a much lower costs. The net result is that at
the end of the day, the U.S. is trailing the rest
of the world in fuel economy.
Still the allure of models
like the Volkswagen Lupo, which received an estimated 75 mpg, keep
customers demanding that the EPA reconsider stop-start. Robert
Davis, Mazda's top product-development executive in North America,
comments, "In Japan, we're seeing anywhere from 7 to 9 percent
fuel economy gains from it. That's a jump from 33 to 37 miles per
gallon in a metro environment."
Audi of America spokesman
Christian Bokich complains, "We did not realize any savings in
U.S. EPA estimates based on required testing cycles."
EPA may finally be coming around and may try to fix its flawed test
procedure. It's taking public comment on stop-start
technologies, currently, and will look to announce new procedures in
April. Those procedures could finally include a test with more
stops. Mazda is urging automakers to join together to lobby the
EPA to give stop-start its just rewards. While this is
obviously a matter of personal interest to the company, it's also
important industry wide, and to U.S. consumers.
quote: The car may be better, and you may get another few miles per gallon (what, 3 or 4?) with the hybrid...but if you were really all that concerned with gas mileage, you probably wouldn't be driving an SUV...and if you were concerned with both costs and mileage, you sure wouldn't have bought a hybrid SUV.

These days, pregnant women don't have to go far for information. They're bombared with information, not only from their doctors, family members and friends but also from countless books, websites and magazines.
When it comes to the basics of what to expect when you're expecting, Lowcountry moms-to-be seem to have it covered.
But it's the little things that catch you unprepared. The nitty-gritty details.
To help, we talked to local moms about where to go, what to do and how to get help for all your pregnancy and childcare needs right here in the Lowcountry.
Getting Ready for Baby
The countdown starts the minute you see that positive pregnancy test. You now have less than a year to get ready for your bundle of joy, who will be here sooner than you think.
Stephanie Coffin, Charleston baby planner and author of the local website Bellies, Babies and Beyond, said the first step is making sure you have a doctor you're comfortable with. You may already have a relationship with a doctor or you may want to start shopping around while you're "trying," she said. There are plenty of great options in the Charleston area including private practices, birthing centers and midwives.
"The biggest thing about finding an OB/GYN is finding one you are comfortable with and who you believe listens and understands your needs and wants," she said. "Remember, you can always change doctors during your pregnancy if you feel uncomfortable."
Once you have your doctor squared away, it'll probably be hard to not start shopping. The Charleston area has a great selection of baby and maternity stores — from the boutiques with pricey Southern smocks to the great deals you can find at the many resale shops.
Keep an eye out for large consignment sale events, too, which usually happen a couple times each year. A few mom-favorites include the twice-annual Charleston Repeats sale, the Kids Exchange of Greater Charleston and the Jr. League of Charleston's annual Whale of a Sale. Several of the sales offer first-time moms access to presale events — an opportunity to shop before the selection gets picked over.
Coffin said that around week 20, when you can find out the gender of your baby, it might a good time to start shopping for the nursery. Whether you're getting hand-me-down furniture or planning on purchasing an entire nursery suite, there are ways you can save money in the process, she said.
"The items I think are worth investing in would be the crib and the glider or rocker, but they don't need to break the bank," Coffin said. "There are great options at every price level. Look for cribs that convert into a toddler bed then a full size bed, so it will last a while. When purchasing a glider or rocker, take into account you will be spending a lot of time in it, so get one that is really comfortable."
If purchasing a used crib, make sure it hasn't been recalled, Coffin suggests. It's important to think about all the other baby gear you may need, too, such as a stroller, bathtub, high chair, swing or play pen. But remember, you'll probably want to register for some of these items, so there's no need to buy them right away.
"I recommend to go ahead and buy your nursery furniture and a car seat; everything else you can wait to see if you get them as a gift or purchase them closer to the time of the birth," Coffin said.
Classes are a great resource for expecting parents to learn about all things baby, including everything from cloth diapering to childbirth to infant massage. While you might be hard pressed to find a traditional Lamaze class so often featured in TV and movies, the classes today are even more tailored to new parent's needs. Local hospitals and birth centers often hold childbirth classes for free or low cost.
Staying Healthy During Pregnancy
Fitness, nutrition and, of course, that dreaded number on the scale can be a big concern for many pregnant women, especially if they were leading active lifestyles before the pregnancy. It's important to discuss all these matters with your doctor and remember everyone is different, and so is every pregnancy.
Charleston personal trainer, yoga and spin instructor Erin Hopkins said she learned the hard way not to have too many fitness expectations going into her pregnancy.
"We were excited to get pregnant, and I thought life would go on as scheduled, I would run and spin and do yoga. That was just my expectation," she said. "And then I found out I was pregnant with twins. That really changed the game for me. There were days that were frustrating because I'd think, 'I used to be able to do that and now I can't.' But I was comparing myself to my non-pregnant body.
"What I learned is I just had to respect what my body was going through. I'm not going to be able to do what I used to do, but that just has to be okay. My priority was the safety of my babies."
Although Hopkins' high-risk pregnancy limited her fitness activities, she still continued to do yoga, spin classes and even weight training until she was put on bed rest. She said remaining active helped her during and after the pregnancy.
"When you're pregnant, you don't have to change that much you just have to lower the intensity, listen to your body a little bit more, change up your workouts a little bit," she said. "Continuing to work out with my doctor's approval really helped me bounce back afterward.
"It's frustrating to watch your body change, but I've learned to respect what it went through and just take every day as it comes. I may never be what I was, but I'm going to be strong, I'm going to give it everything I have. I think now more than ever fitness is important to me because you have to take care of yourself in order to take care of your babies."
There are plenty of prenatal fitness options in town for those looking to remain active during pregnancy. Yoga is a popular option for de-stressing and remaining flexible as your body changes over those nine months.
For those experiencing aches and pains during pregnancy that seem to make even walking a chore, chiropractic services have become a popular option for expecting moms. Dr. Tara Miller with Family First Chiropractic in North Charleston specializes in prenatal chiropractic services that focus on the changes of a woman's body during pregnancy.
"There are so many changes going on to the woman's back and spine, and there's really not a lot of options as far as pain relief," Miller said. "Midwives or doctors might recommend Tylenol and frankly that doesn't really cut it. The stereotype is that you're miserable for nine months and you're supposed to live with all these aches and pains and all these other changes in the body because they're technically normal. I don't really classify them as normal, maybe just common."
After 10 years of practicing chiropractics on pregnant women, Miller said she notices they are more comfortable, they carry better, they feel better and their energy is good. Studies show it may reduce the length of labor also, she said. Miller recommends first-time moms see a chiropractor between 16 and 20 weeks and can continue until 36 to 40 weeks. The techniques used on pregnant women are gentler, can help with symptomatic relief such as back pain, headaches and even nausea, and are done with mother and baby in mind, Miller said.
"When everything is balanced and aligned, it decreases the stress on the body," she said. "We find the more the mom is de-stressed or the better she's feeling, it's better for the baby. The more comfortable you are, the more comfortable the baby is."
Your Birth Plan
When it comes to labor and delivery, it's a good idea to think about it sooner rather than later. It's not the most glamorous part of pregnancy, but in the end it's the most important. Lesley Rathburn, certified nurse midwife and owner/director of the Charleston Birth Place in North Charleston, said she's met too many first-time moms who put off the decisions on their birth plan far too long.
"Someday I'd like for every girl to have a dream pregnancy and birth Pinterest board and not just a wedding Pinterest board," Rathburn said. "Most women spend a ton of money and a ton of time on planning their wedding, and virtually none on the birth of their baby. It's just as important, if not more important. They just sort of get in line with everybody else and they don't realize until well into the pregnancy that what they want for their birth is totally not what they signed up for."
The first step is researching options, Rathburn said. You can turn to books and websites for information, but make sure what you're reading is up-to-date and based on scientific fact. Rathburn suggests Childbirthconnection.com as a resource.
"We live in the information age, but it's not all good information," Rathburn said. "Some websites would be better, because the problem with books is as soon as they're published, the information is usually out of date. With maternity care, you really need to look at what is evidence-based, not just what is routinely done but what has been scientifically shown to be helpful, not harmful, for women."
While going to an obstetrician and having the baby in a hospital is still the most popular way to give birth, it's not the only way.
"Women in Charleston are actually very lucky because they do have more than just the hospital option," Rathburn said. "They can choose the medical model of care with a physician, the midwife model of care, the birth center model of care or a home birth."
A midwife can perform deliveries at the hospital, in a birth center or at home. Doulas are trained, paid labor support people who are not medical providers, Rathburn said. They can do everything from rubbing your back, encouraging you and acting as a moderator between you and the healthcare providers if giving birth in a hospital setting.
If seeking a natural, un-medicated birth, Rathburn suggests looking into the alternative options for pain management. These options include a water birth, aromatherapy, self-hypnosis and even nitrous oxide (or laughing gas.)
Once you've decided on a birth plan, talk about it with your doctor or midwife as soon possible so everyone is on the same page when baby arrives.
After the Baby Arrives
The big day has come and gone, you now have a newborn and a whirlwind of activity going on around you — adjusting to eating and sleeping schedules, taking care of medical needs and friends and relatives visiting the baby.
One of the first things that may come up, even in the hospital, is baby photography. If you haven't already planned a newborn photo session, the window of time to think about it is pretty limited, said photographer Tamara Hart of Bump Meet Baby photography in Goose Creek.
Ideally, you should schedule a newborn photography session one to three months before you're due, Hart suggests, because photographers will get booked and may not be able to fit you in once the baby arrives. You probably won't be able to book the exact date, but booking the session means the photographer will work with you to get the photos usually 5-10 days after the baby is born, Hart said.
"Between 5-10 days old is when you can get a lot of the squishy, curly, womb-like poses," she said. "As newborns get a little older, they're not going to sleep as deep, so they wont tolerate being messed with as much. At 2 to 4 weeks of age, babies are not going to curl anymore, their bellies have enlarged and they're not going to bend in half as well, so it's going to eliminate a lot of the posing we can do."
Birth photography is growing in popularity, Hart said. Options include having a photographer capture the whole birth process or just the first few days after the baby is born.
"You want something more than iPhone photos of your child in the hospital," Hart said. "Parents hire me to come into the hospital to photograph siblings or grandparents meeting the baby for the first time, the hospital bracelet, who their nurse was. All those crazy, exhausted days that will be a blur to the parents, I come in and photograph every detail I can to help them remember those days."
Area photographers offer a range of packages and options for newborn sessions and can be found at varying price points. Though the photo sessions can be expensive, Hart says most parents realize it's worth the investment.
"Newborn photography is kind of like wedding photography," she said. "In a way it's moments and days that you're never going to get back again. Your baby at five days old is going to look different than your baby at ten days old and at two weeks old. There's no way to reschedule that."
Once the photos have been taken, the relatives have gone home and life starts to slowly get back to a normal pace, there are still resources in the Charleston area that can benefit new moms adjusting to life with a newborn. Whether it's trouble breastfeeding, lack of sleep or just the everyday difficulties of caring for a baby.
Postpartum Support Charleston has support groups for postpartum depression as well as one called Moving Into Motherhood for moms who may not have postpartum depression but are struggling with the transition into their new role. The group's facilitator LeAnn Gardner said it's important for new moms to ask for help and grieve the loss of their old, child-free life.
"I think one of the problems of our culture when it comes to marriage and having kids is everyone says things that make you feel like it can't be hard," she said. "Facebook doesn't help, and some blogs don't help because they paint this shiny picture of, 'Everything's great, I have this cute baby.'
"It makes people afraid to say, 'Sometimes I just wish I was back to being single or married without kids.' Not that I would want anything bad to happen to my child, but I'm grieving this stage I was in. I'm grieving the losses that come with being a mom. And there are losses. Every stage of life, you give up something, and I don't think our culture allows us to grieve that."
In Charleston, there are several groups, business and organizations offering help for new moms. Sometimes just gathering with other moms who're going through the same thing can help, Gardner said. You can find mom groups in every area of town on Meetup.com.
At some point during your pregnancy, you'll need to have the talk about who is going to care for your child during the day. It's one of the hardest choices every mom must face. Will you stay home? Will you go back to work? Will you hire a nanny or find a childcare center?
If you will need infant care, it's especially important to start looking early for a nanny or childcare center. Candace Jaruszewics, director of the nationally accredited N.E. Miles Early Childhood Development Center at the College of Charleston, advises parents to start looking while they're pregnant as many childcare facilities in Charleston have long waiting lists.
"Put your name on multiple lists," she said. "Have a priority list: This is my first preference, second preference, third preference. But don't limit yourself to one program because if something happens with that, you're going to have difficulty. Especially with infant care because infant care in this community is not sufficient to meet the demand at all."
While cost, location and availability will likely be huge factors in the childcare decision, remember to look for other things, too, like safety, curriculum and teacher qualifications, Jaruszewics said. Research the centers beforehand and make an appointment for a visit.
"I always tell parents to trust their instincts," she said. "If they walk in and feel welcomed and feel like it's a happy place and what they observe is a good vibe, pursue it. If they walk in and anything strikes them as a red flag, there probably is something that needs to be further explored."
Whether it's a daycare center or a private home provider, check to see if they are licensed with the state. At the very least you want to make sure they have clearances and they've met the kind of requirements the state has for abuse clearances, TB tests and things like that, Jaruszewics said.
Nowadays, parents have many options when it comes to early childhood curriculum at childcare centers. Whether it's Montessori or the now-popular creative curriculum, these learning philosophies are what separate custodial daycare and early childhood education, Jaruszewics said.
"Most good programs understand that it's not just their responsibility to take care of the child's physical needs during the day," Jaruszewics said. "They also have a responsibility to provide experiences, language, exposure, diversity, different kinds of things that a child will benefit from and will make them more curious and will be challenging for them."
If you decide to go the nanny route, there are many resources in the Charleston area. You can run the search for a caretaker yourself, with the help of sites like Care.com, SitterCity.com or the College of Charleston's online job board, or hire an agency to place one for you.
Trish Digliodo, president of Sweet Pea Nanny and Babysitting Agency, said when hiring a sitter, do a background check, check their references and make sure their personality is a good fit for your baby and your family. Have them babysit for a night, or during the day while you're there, before you hire them as full-time care for your child.
Nowadays the going rate for nannies and sitters tends to be between $12 to $20 an hour, depending on how many children there are and qualifications of the sitter, Digliodo said. Though it can be expensive, she's noticed more parents opting to hire a nanny who will be an extension of their family rather than leaving their children at childcare.
"People always put their children first," she said. "They realize it's not as expensive as you think. A nanny is no longer just for the Kardashians. It can be affordable and you get that one-on-one care that is so valuable."

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - On Saturday, Oct. 13 local photographer Tony Spiker will be hosting a photo walk in conjunction with Scott Kelby, president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) and number one bestselling technology and photography book author, in his fifth annual Worldwide Photo Walk - the world's largest global social photography event in the history of photography.
The Tahoe City Photo walk will begin at the River Ranch Lodge at 3 p.m. and follow the Truckee River to its source at Lake Tahoe, ending in time to catch a beautiful sunset and elk burgers at the Bridge Tender.

Apple iPad 2: will you get it?
0. phoneArena 03 Mar 2011, 08:56 posted on
The iPad 2 is finally here and it's truly an iPad on steroids. It has now grown dual-core A5 muscle capable of delivering double the processing and nine times the graphical punch. But tablet steroids are of a special kind…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

When you can view a web page as it is intended, instead of getting a download flash player error is when I will even look at ANY Apple products.

no flash is small drawback, but at least it doesnt have huge drawbacks as android.. like crapy battery life... and other....

Dude, battery life does not depend on the OS. It depends on the battery model provided by manufacturers. If you're going to bash other products, do it the right way.
31. Todd (unregistered)
Actually, batter life does depend on the OS to some degree, albeit a small amount, it does hold some responsibility.
You see, the OS determines how to use all the resources available to it, including energy. How much energy gets diverted to one application over another? What about increases power usage for one core over the other ... or both?
The list goes on. A good operating system will be able to increase the life of a battery on any given device.
Though you are correct in that the battery is the biggest contributor, it isn't the only.
And thus I reach my point... grow up, get off the forums, and go play in traffic.
25. AppleFUD (unregistered)
Sorry, that's just FUD.
Android will get about the same battery life as iOS relative to what's running. Both operating systems handle multitasking in a very similar way. The difference is that Android developers can choose to enable background multitasking which means some can write bad apps that drain the battery, thus if someone is getting bad battery life on an Android device it is most likely do to a poorly written app, not the OS.
If you don't believe me just do some research on how iOS & Android handle multitasking, there's several great articles on it.
33. Todd (unregistered)
I never said that the iPad or the Droid OS handled multitasking poorly or that one was better than the other. I just said that the OS does have something to do with the battery life.
I agree - modern OS will manage battery life well and equally with other OS
35. Xoom for $539 (unregistered)
Looks like Sam's Club will have the WiFi Xoom for $539
That's $40 more than the lowest iPad 2 16G
And you get 16G more
Lots more RAM
Don't need Apple's proprietary dongles = $40-$80
And you get an SD expansion slot = priceless = unlimited memory
Of course. . Honeycomb = priceless!

I doesn't want iPad 2. It runs the stupid iOS operating system. I prefer Honeycomb tablets (Motorola XOOM or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1) or Android mobile phones
I prefer a Nokia mobile phone with Symbian OS than an iPad 2.
Although, a mobile phone, it runs better operating system (Android and Symbian are better than iOS). So, I can do more with a good mobile phone than an stupid tablet
3. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
So far more people want an iPad than anything else. Let's see how this plays out
4. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Now it's a tie! Uh-oh!
5. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Now honeycomb is winning!!! I can't take the drama!!!
19. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
LOL this is drama i just hope it doesn't get trolled
21. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Of course it will
29. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
LOL now xoom wining by a big margin but this may change when everyone gets of their jobs 2-7PM then this tread will burn like gasoline
30. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
WTF "xoom" i meant honeycomb... my bad
6. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
And now the iPad 2 is winning again!!

you call 10 hours of battery life a downside. Wake up and get your facts right superpooburgermister. xoom, xoom, xoom

Tables are stupid, stick with a damn laptop.
26. Socalvenom (unregistered)
I second that notion I mean Why spend $800 on a tablet when you can get a very nice netbook that does everything a tablet can muster and then some I own a Gateway netbook which was $280 250gb hd, 2gb ram, 1.6 intel atom and you name it it has it. Tablets are useful in some ways but the majority of people that want tablets want them expecting they run just as good as a laptop or better. I guess people forgot tablets were created for our entertainment. Instead they made them look like a replacement technology for laptops and netbooks. Shame
52. AndroidQueen (Posts: 7; Member since: 04 Mar 2011)
Tablets are sexy! Laptops are not.
10. appleblackberryandroid (unregistered)
since 90% of web pages require flash, how is it a minor drawback? It's a minor drawback to you because you haven't seen flash before on your apple. You can't miss what you never had. xoom, xoom, xoom
12. Allday28 (Posts: 283; Member since: 19 Nov 2010)
I really like that Apple isnt trying to push 3D on to people. I just might switch to apple for that reason alone.
13. bigeffindeall (unregistered)
Glad to see common sense is winning...I still cant see the point in a tablet...Call me old fashioned, but why not just get a small laptop, or a netbook?...Ipads and the other tablets just seem like really nice toys to have...Sure, If Ihad the money to waste Id get one...But until then i'll stick to my driods and my laptop....
14. msa1988 (Posts: 418; Member since: 30 Mar 2010)
Couldn't have said it any better. That is EXACTLY how I feel...
27. AppleFUD (unregistered)
How about a tablet that can actually double as a netbook? That's what I'm waiting for--the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. I think that will get both jobs done nicely.
45. CRICKETownz (Posts: 980; Member since: 24 Oct 2009)
doesn't Dell already have that concept with a tablet that docks into a netbook-like hardware.

ipad = shit

xoom and all android products = shit
16. deago78 (Posts: 160; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Just sold my 16gb iPad for $450 on ebay last night so it would be odd for me not to take the ~$50 hit and buy the new one. Considering getting my first white colored piece of technology too. Any thoughts on that?
53. AndroidQueen (Posts: 7; Member since: 04 Mar 2011)
17. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
heres a though. go pay off some debt or buy something of importance. the ipad2 may add an extra core, but what does it do differently? What great new feature is there?? ZERO, ZIP ZILCH, NONE.
If your gonna throw away your money on a tablet, get a xoom or a slate.
22. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
What does the XOOM do differently from the tab? Different ui same functions fir the most part. Just small differences.
37. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Exactly clevername. Both tablets do pretty much the same thing. Glad to see some common sense. Zoom didn't exist before Apple's success with it's tablet. All you android fan boys should thank Apple that there's a zoom available for you to buy.
54. AndroidQueen (Posts: 7; Member since: 04 Mar 2011)
For me, tablet would be used mostly for browsing net. Apple fails BIG time here. Front facing camera is shitty compared to other tabs - another minus. You are stuck with whatever memory you get, so that sucks big time too. It runs on a slow network, no 4G - another fail. So no, they are not the same.

I brought ipad 1 and i had to force myself to use it, i had plenty of ipad apps and i mostly used it for email and whether app. Got rid of a while ago, now i do like ipad 2 i think its sleek and the camera additions are great, but what do i use it for im not sure, i think its a huge thing to know the purpose of an item before i buy it. Any suggestions?
20. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
depends on the carrier and what you look... also the taste
-If you want power and feel like wanting to test something that curenly doesn't look like a phone the XOOM, Playbook are the way to go
-if you like how things are on the apple field and want a certain number of apps you may want to get the iPad2
28. AppleFUD (unregistered)
That's why I'm waiting for something like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. With Honeycomb and a form factor that is a tablet/netbook hybrid I can actually use it as a tablet for the fun easy stuff but still get a netbook experience when I need to work on documents, spreadsheets, drawing programs, etc. .
Otherwise, like you, I can't see what I would do with an iPad other than browse the web and some email. . .
23. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Looks like iPad 2 is winning. More votes for it than touchpad and honeycomb combined. And more votes than those that wanna stick with laptops. Fuck specs and UI's the consumer is speaking!
24. msa1988 (Posts: 418; Member since: 30 Mar 2010)
Are you blind, or just retarded?
As of right now, the laptops are winning, then the XOOM, then the iPad. You can't combine the 3 iPad categories, bit if you do, Laptop / XOOM are still winning.
49. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
I obviously posted that when more votes were entered for the first two options which I combined because they were both for being the iPad 2. I CAN. Combine those because the only difference was how it would be purchased. I left out the third option because it wasn't for the iPad 2. I never considered it. All my posts here were just humorous play by plays. If you look at my next one you see I call honeycomb the winner.
Without looking at context you called me a dumbass for a play by play commentary.
You sir are an idiot. The very special kind of idiot born and bred in stupidity by stupid people. I tip my hat to you for the skill necessary to prompt my response, but you obviously are a few stories short of a skyscraper.
Good day.
56. msa1988 (Posts: 418; Member since: 30 Mar 2010)
Well, moron, I now can conclude that you are both blind AND retarded. I made my post exactly 1 minute after you made yours (look at the posted times).
So you, once again, fail.
32. BaiGanyo (Posts: 308; Member since: 07 Feb 2011)
Apple is headed the 2% market share they hold in computers. It's a go nowhere in the long run product for them. Now the foreign talent is starting to bail and jobs looked thinner than the ipad. Apples future looks BLEAK.
38. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Yea things looked really bad for Apple right now. They just had the most profitable quarter ever. Now this quarter they added the largest carrier in the US as a potential customer base and also are launching iPad 2. Recent interview by a VZW executive just said that the iPhone was their most successful product launch ever. Yup sucks to be Apple.
34. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
And it appears honeycomb for the win
50. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
I actually thumbed myself down here. Im not a fanboy for either side but a fan of both technologies, and I don't want to be thumbed up by someone just because I declare one platform the winner of a vote hosted on a site populated by android loving misanthropes. Not that all people who love android possess social IQ's 80 points below the norm but the majority of them on here just happen to.
To hate a product and company solely because you prefer another is tiny. Tiny thinking from tiny brains. And THEY call people who like apple sheep?
BTW I own a nexus 1 and an iPhone 4. I am neithers fanboy or sheep.
You people are fu€kin retarded.

LMAO @ all the people that said they would "camp out" for a device that even Apple Insiders say is basically a waste because the iPad 3 is going to be the one that offers any Major improvements...Just goes to show how pathetically trendy and pathetic fanboys are.
39. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Yes adding front and back cameras, dual core processors, 9x the graphics processing power, new software improvements, FaceTime, photobooth is a pathetic upgrade. What does Xoom have? Dual core processor about even screen size and resolution. Honeycomb which is good but no apps yet. Seems pretty similar to iPad in specs.
40. AppleFUD (unregistered)
Weren't you spewing off last week how specs don't matter. . . blah, blah, blah. . . it's all about the user experience... now you want to say specs matter. . . sad!
Still far behind the Xoom!
What, 256RAM in the iPad 2 - that's going to suck. . . guess you have a reason to upgrade to the iPad 3.
At least when and Android tablet comes out it doesn't skimp on everything and give you proprietary ports and proprietary dongles and no HD screen. . . yeah, the most profitable quarter every for Apple because they have sheep like you to fleece for at least 4 generations of a product while they add little bits and peaces each generation that should have been there from the start. . . pathetic!
42. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
1. I didn't say specs don't matter. Please show me the post you're referring to.
2. This was in response to dj douche that there were no major improvements to iPad 2 which there clearly are.
3. I never said I'd buy the iPad or Xoom based on specs.
44. AppleFUD (unregistered)
Xoom Vs iPad 2 specs
Xoom 1G
iPad 2 ??? no mention - rumored 256MB
Cameras - again iPad 2 doesn't say what MP
Standard ports
iPad 2 none = expensive dongles
Xoom HDMI & USB
Screen resolution
iPad 2 = NON-HD 1024x768 9.7" 4:3
Xoom = HD 1280x800 10.1" 16:9
Xoom free upgrade
iPad 2 - 3G only
Both 1GHz dual-core
Well, the Xoom is ahead in every category except CPU but otherwise. . . yes, they are pretty much the same spec wise.
48. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
You didn't respond to any of my points. Do you just repeat specs over and over?
47. CRICKETownz (Posts: 980; Member since: 24 Oct 2009)
free upgrade to 4G...i'd say that's worth noting little buddy.
51. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
You call apple customers sheep. Yet you and the other droves of android fanboys flock to attack apple products, posts, employees, customers, and the company itself with mindless posts for a company that neither asks or wants you to do it. I ask again, apple customers are the sheep?
Apple fanboys come to read posts about their favorite gadgets. Yet android fanboys come to bash them both. Why? For what reason?
What reason do you have to call them sheep? Has someone told you to? Is your life so pathetic that you actually get your kicks this way?
Get a hobby. And a life. And therapy. Then get a girl and get laid. You won't be so tense or competitive after regular sex.

LMAO @ everyone that has no reading comprehension on this site.
I own MULTIPLE OS's, I hate low end Android phones and except for the Atrix I hate MotoBlur. I own a WP7 device...
The point here is the flaws with the COMPANY and people that blindly defend a product in a completely uneducated manner with little to no facts to support their claims.
Also, seeing as I deal with the issues on a daily basis, I see the REAL facts in the store about who is having problems with what.
SHEEP is a common term for ANYONE that follows the pack blindly with no rhyme or reason in their decision to do so. People that then defend whatever the cause is by deflecting the facts and failing to admit any flaws in beliefs.
I post these comments WHILE working in an AT&T store, normally just after dealing with 6 people with problems with their Apple products...but yeah, great stuff there. (rolls eyes)

Four years ago, the Run for the Fallen was started to honor Staff Sgt. Matt Ingham from Altoona, who died in 2010 during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Marine Gunnery Sgt. Ronald Baum from Hollidaysburg, who died in 2004 during Operation Enduring Freedom.
When Karen Baum of Hollidaysburg and Lori Miles of Roaring Spring started the Run for the Fallen at Mansion Park in Altoona, it was very small, they said. Karen Baum is married to Brian Baum, Ronald Baum's brother, while Miles and her family were Ingham's friends.
Karen Baum and Miles decided to start the run to honor the two men, as well as others from the area that were lost in the war.

"At first, it was just family and friends that started it," Miles said.
Every year, the attendance of the event has grown. Last's year's race featured almost 300 participants at Mansion Park.
"We have women with strollers, children, seniors, servicemen, veterans and also the fire department," Baum said. "It's a way for the community to show they support them and haven't forgotten them."
Fact Box
If you go
What: Run for the Fallen
When: 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 10
Where: Mansion Park Stadium, Altoona
Admission: Free
Attendees can run or walk in remembrance of a soldier who has died. Once finished, participants write down their name and the number of laps they completed. The information is then put into a database to show what has been done to honor the fallen soldiers, and it is posted on the Run for the Fallen website.
During the event, veterans from different wars will visit the park and tell stories about their experiences. There will be yellow ribbons on display for each of the 19 soldiers from central Pennsylvania who were killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"When we are there, people will reminisce about Matt and the others that were lost," Miles said.
The Altoona Fire Department will also have trucks on display, and the Flight 93 Memorial Chorus, an all-male a capella chorus from Cumberland, Md., will sing at 11 a.m.
The women said that Run for the Fallen, a nonprofit group, is not about raising money, just awareness about the men who have served our country. The event is made possible by members of the community and sponsors.
Two other organizations, Camp Liberty and Wounded Warrior Fund, will be accepting donations.
The women added that everyone is welcome, and there is no cost to participate in the event.

I know. But if they win, they'll likely play LA in the next series, so it won't be as hard for them.
But both teams are traveling a lot in a series where there's only 1 day off between each game. Ridiculous.
yeah I was surprised there wasn't a 2 day break between games 4 & 5 or at some point in the series, it's not like they couldn't have done it that way

McGloin on WR Robinson: 'The coaches last year didn't give him the opportunity he deserved'
September 20, 2012 - Cory Giger
Matt McGloin saw how good Allen Robinson was last year, even if Penn State's previous coaching staff didn't.
"The coaches last year didn't give him the opportunity he deserved," McGloin said of Robinson, who has come out of nowhere to emerge as one of the top receivers in the nation in the early going this season.
Robinson caught three passes for 29 yards as a freshman in 2011. He already has 24 catches for 322 yards in three games this season, ranking 10th nationally in receptions per game and receiving yards per game (107.3).
McGloin not only believes the sophomore "should have played a lot more last year," he also gave Robinson huge praise.
"He's going to be one of the great wideouts to play here at Penn State," the quarterback said.
Coach Bill O'Brien and others talked during the preseason about how Robinson had been impressive, but no one could have predicted this kind of start for the receiver. He caught nine passes in the opener, 10 in week two and had three of his five grabs last week go for touchdowns.
"Everybody's definitely excited for me," Robinson said of all the attention he's been getting.
Whether he was anywhere close to this good last year or not is unknown, but Robinson said he spent his freshman season "getting acclimated" to college ball.
What's made him so good this season is the extra work he put in during the summer with McGloin.
"Over the summer, that's really when me and him noticed that we were starting to click," Robinson said. "Me and Matt spent a lot of days going out there, throwing balls."
McGloin saw so much in Robinson's work ethic and abilities that it led to a conversation with his coaches.
"I remember speaking with Coach O'Brien and Coach [Charlie] Fisher about it, just saying, 'Hey, this Robinson kid is going to be special.'"
"Allen's probably not the type of guy that's going to go out and run 4.3, 4.4 40-[yard dash]," McGloin said. "But he's the type of guy that goes out there and works constantly on his technique, constantly on his route running.
"His routes are so crisp and so good," the quarterback added. "He's very quick, and he just has a knack for getting open."
Robinson credits new receivers coach Stan Hixon for helping him work on his routes and concentrate on doing every aspect correctly. He said Hixon is "always in our ears" about how the receivers need to be as specific as possible in their routes.
"Coach Hixon and O'Brien told me they really wanted me to perfect my route running because that's really a big part of our offense, being able to get open," Robinson said.
Robinson teamed with former Penn State quarterback Rob Bolden at Orchard Lake St. Mary's High School in Michigan. The duo helped lead the team to the state title game, and Robinson caught 44 passes (10 touchdowns) as a senior.
Robinson still keeps in touch with Bolden, who's now at LSU, although he said when they talk, it's more about college and other personal things rather than football.
Robinson also was captain of the basketball team in high school and was recruited by smaller Division I programs, including Cleveland State.
"Allen Robinson is a great athlete," PSU safety Stephen Obeng-Agyapong said. "In the summertime we played basketball against him all the time, and you can just tell how athletic he is. It is pretty hard to guard him, but we have a lot of fun going against each other [in practice]."
The only thing working against Robinson now is that he no longer will be able to sneak up on teams. He's been so good that everyone on the Nittany Lions' schedule the rest of the way will have to game plan to shut him down as a primary threat.
That could mean more double coverages or disguised defenses, but whatever opponents do to slow him down, Robinson believes it will only help PSU's other receivers.
"That's something I'm really not concerned [with]," he said, "because I might not be getting the ball as much as I have been, but I know other guys will definitely be good enough for their opportunity to get the ball."
Halfway there
Allen Robinson's 24 catches are halfway to the PSU sophomore record of 48, set by Bobby Engram in 1993 and Deon Butler in 2006.

ROARING SPRING - Nason Hospital Home Health Agency and the Pennsylvania Homecare Association have teamed up to offer a program to help families plan for caring for their elderly members.
The "Bringing Care Home" resource consists of an 11-minute documentary and a 76-page companion guidebook.
The guidebook includes lists of questions to ask when looking for a homecare agency or other long-term care provider and even a tool to help families calculate what type of care is needed and how much it will cost.
"It is a new program to reach out to the community so they plan ahead for home care needs, so they are aware of the services available and what their options are," said Sharon Snider, director of Nason Hospital Home Health Agency.
The goal of this documentary was to be a conversation starter, said Jennifer Battista, PHA spokeswoman.
"We developed a companion guidebook that provides all of the resources, tools and tips families need to begin the conversation and determine the best care for their aging parents," Battista said. "Our goal is to educate Pennsylvania families about the value of homecare and the myriad of resources that are available to people as they age."
"Bringing Care Home" will be available at local events such as the Spring Dam Week in Roaring Spring, Fourth of July Celebration in Martinsburg and the Williamsburg Farm Show, Snider said.
The program can also be obtained by calling 224-2141 and asking for the agency or by calling PHA at 1-800-382-1211.

I appreciated Neil Rudel's column ("Undermining no help to O'Brien, PSU future") on Thursday.
We are now over two years into this mess (The Patriot-News reported the Sandusky grand jury investigation in March 2011), and the nasty tone of so many participants and observers continues.
But doesn't it appear their target and motivation may have changed.
Does it look to you like it does to me that there is/was an overbearing sense of entitlement in State College?
Many who no longer feel that entitlement seem to be using the sewers to fight back. Did the insular geography and lack of criticism breed some of this mess?
I wonder if the "reformers" want real change? Will they fight for open governance and oversight? Within the movement do some of the high profile types have their own sense of entitlement?
Or is it more a power play focused on revenge and the power of leading such an effort?

Misplaced priorities
When a soldier is killed in the line of duty, his family eventually gets a flag and a note conveying sympathy and respect from the United States government.
When a pro basketball player announces he is gay, he immediately gets a personal phone call from the president of the United States congratulating him for his courage.
Am I missing something?

On Jan. 15, the District 205 middle school children had the opportunity to attend an Icehogs hockey game. This was the first time for many of the children to see a hockey game.
The children has a wonderful time and they are grateful to all the staff who made this possible. Kennedy Middle School was one of these schools. The children had a great time.
Miss Battle, Mrs. Richardson and the staff did a wonderful job getting it all together. As a staff member of Kennedy, I was very proud of our students.
Thank you, District 205. What a wonderful end to the first semester of school.

Jeffed is the act of being blown off by someone who is so sure they love you that they know you'll be there tomorrow, no matter how inconsiderate the act, because they're well worth it.
Jeffed is "I'll be back in a few minutes." Player logs from audio and messenger after 2 hours because their computer overheats while they're peacefully sleeping and you're waiting.

A very annoying thing in schools that is so darn loud and hurts people's ears when it goes off. They make fire alarms so loud and annoying.
There was a fire drill and that loud annoying fire alarm went off.

When having sex with a girl in her parents house, or anywhere risky, once you are done ejaculating, you yell as loud as you can so everyone can hear awoooooga!!! or FIRE!!! and then exit the area immeadiately
Hey man, I went over to Becca's house during her little brother's birthday party, and I did a perfect fire alarm! They actually called the fire department!!!

A practical joke involving the rude awakening of a person from a sleep by way of screaming "FIRE!FIRE" You will also need 1 person to situate his ass slightly above the victims face before waking him with the alarm. When the victim sits up to get out of bed, his face and nose will slam into the waiting anus of the guy above him.
A true work of art to behold.

Development goals rest on volunteerism
28 November 2006
by Martha Twumasi
Accra, Ghana: The Millennium Development Goals could "only be achieved in Ghana if
people are prepared to sacrifice and contribute to the socio-economic
development of the nation" Mike Ajdei, the Special Aide to the
President, said at the official launch of
International Volunteer Day and Coalition of Voluntary Organizations
in Ghana.
He said that, in this era of world economic hardship, "it is only
volunteering and sacrifices that can liberate and propel Ghana to a
middle-income economy by 2015". Mike Adjei, mentioned that the time
has come for volunteer organizations to be one and intensify their
advocacy roles to make their voices heard.
He however cautioned against intra coalition conflict. "Let your
decisions be participatory, so that it can win the support of all of
you and stand the test of time". Norma Messam, United Nations Volunteer
Programme Officer, in her speech, said the focus of activities this
year, would be on youth volunteerism. These include embarking on clean
up and painting exercise in selected schools in Tamale, blood donation
drive in collaboration with Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and seminar on
The International Coalition of Volunteers in Ghana also seeks to
provide a platform for youth volunteerism towards national development,
to design and manage activities and support of volunteerism
organizations in Ghana.

So much to say about last night's game. Apparently if you catch the guy who has the ball in the final seconds of the game that counts as a touchdown, too.
What's everyone thinking?
kmartell wrote:NFL Official salaries...as Earnest used to day...'Are you kidding me!!' !!!
Tell me, am I missing something here... I just read in the paper that the NFL official salaries 'to increase from an average of $149,000 a year in 2011 to $173,000 in 2013, rising to $205,000 in 2019' !!!!
They work a couple exhibition games and 16 regular season games and some of them work the post season. Yes, I know there is more to it than just those ~20 games and they have to deal with training, health plans and pensions...BUT WHAT IN THE **** JUSTIFIES SUCH FREAKING HIGH SALARIES ?!?! I would guess they work about 6 or 7 months of the year to deal with the football season. Yes, screw the owners...they make bales of money, but I don't see what justifies the officials making such a high pay check !!!
Maybe it's just me !!!

Typical whinny response from a liberal democrat, if someone is more successful than you. If I can't have it, take away from them.
Since when is it wrong for someone to work hard and get a good job that pays well. I thought that is what capitalism was all about. Work hard, be successful and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Sad what this country is coming to, just a nation of leaches that want to live off of everyone else and have the government take from the those that earn and give to those that don't.

My fellow Americans — my fellow Americans, men and women like Cory remind us that America has never come easy. Our freedom, our democracy, has never been easy. Sometimes we stumble; we make mistakes; we get frustrated or discouraged.
But for more than two hundred years, we have put those things aside and placed our collective shoulder to the wheel of progress: to create and build and expand the possibilities of individual achievement; to free other nations from tyranny and fear; to promote justice and fairness and equality under the law, so that the words set to paper by our founders are made real for every citizen.
The America we want for our kids — a rising America where honest work is plentiful and communities are strong; where prosperity is widely shared and opportunity for all lets us go as far as our dreams and toil will take us — none of it is easy. But if we work together; if we summon what is best in us, the way Cory summoned what is best in him, with our feet planted firmly in today but our eyes cast towards tomorrow, I know it's within our reach.
Believe it.
God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

My name is Jenny Lapple and I am currently working on my Doctorate of Arts in Community College Education. My background is in music performance on flute with degrees from Miami University in Oxford, OH and Yale University in New Haven, CT. In addition to my studies, I play in several ensembles including a new music ensemble called FUSE, The Pan American Symphony in Washington D.C., and The American Pops Orchestra here at Mason. My work as an adjunct in the flute studio here at Mason has afforded me the opportunity to put into practice much of what I have learned in the Higher Education program as combined with my background as a performer. My plans are to pursue a career in music education at the university level.
Additionally, I am a strong advocate of music wellness and currently in the process of putting programs and workshops together to assist musicians in maintaining healthy and sustained musical experiences. Some workshops and seminars I have recently presented include: "Music and the Brain: Experiencing Synesthesia", "Thinking Body, Dancing Mind: Unleash the Power of Music within You!", "How to Think like Leonardo Da Vinci: Teaching through Curiousity, Sensory Experience, and Interconnectedness", and "A Whole New Mind: Teaching through Design, Story, and Symphony." These interactive workshops would benefit greatly from the authenticity and emotional intrigue of digital storytelling.
I live in Reston, VA with my fiancé, Graham, and we are looking forward to planning our wedding and life together.
