Dictionary.com uses words like "interruption" and "setback" to help define the word hiccup. It also uses phrases like "a minor difficulty" or "the condition of having such spasms".
Nowhere does it include unpaid bills, false promises, possible tax dollars, an organization imploding and, this might come as a surprise to those of you not familiar with the dynamics of being outside in the winter, weather. And it most certainly doesn't include anything about a bus fire.
Although it would be difficult to locate any of those words or phrases tucked within the definition of hiccup, it was nonetheless the way the Federal Hockey League described its failure in Williamsport.
"As we enter a New Year we would like to thank all of you for hanging in there during our most recent hiccup in Williamsport," a section of an emailed press release from Phil DeFranco representing the FHL stated.
"Most recent" might be the only aspect of that statement with any type of self-realization in it.
The FHL's initial attempt in 2010 toward becoming a respected outlet for hockey players saw the Broome County Barons relocating to Cape Cod and the Rome Frenzy ceasing operations midway through the season.
The next year was greeted with a much more optimistic case of the hiccups the type when simply holding one's breath is enough to alleviate the constant annoyance. The league's second season of 2011-12 also marked the first with the Outlaws as members in Wayne, NJ.
One year later, after winning the Commissioner's Cup, the FHL's version of the Stanley Cup, the Outlaws were relocated to Williamsport where they became the first professional North American hockey franchise to play an entire season outside.
And remember that franchise from Broome County that relocated to Cape Cod? They moved to Maine, broke up and then returned to New York all in the same season.
"There are a lot of other interested parties (cities) in doing a team," Federal Hockey League Commissioner Don Kirnan said.
Wherever those cities might be, they might want to make sure they have a more sustainable plan than the Outlaws had here.
The beginning
Williamsport mayor Gabriel J. Campana sounded extremely optimistic in July when he greeted media and fans at Bowman Field to announce the arrival of Williamsport's newest professional franchise.
Now, the city sits on the brink of having to swallow a $36,000 bill left by the defunct Williamsport Outlaws franchise. And the on-ice product failed to live up to the expected attendance numbers almost immediately.
"We had the Bills and we had the Tomahawks that did not pay their bills and we still have professional baseball in the city," Campana said.
The only problem, however, with citing baseball failures is the field was here prior to the team coming to Williamsport.
Yes, the area still has professional baseball. But Bowman field, the oldest minor league baseball stadium currently in use, wasn't going to be pulled up once those teams left town.
The franchise and mayor's biggest downfall was buying into the "Field of Dreams" belief. Build a rink, put in a hockey team, and the fans will come, particularly since this sport in Williamsport was a new idea. The problem with the logic was simply building an outdoor rink and adding a team didn't mean fans were going to come.
But minor league sports are all about marketing. And it's something the Outlaws missed completely in their time representing Williamsport.
There were no community skates that actually involved the team. No promoted pack the rink nights. A dearth of incentives to come out and watch the team.
Instead of catering to young fans and families interested in making hockey a part of their get togethers, the Outlaws hosted parties at different local bars after most home games. That proved to be a tough way to grow a product with staying power in Williamsport.
The city thought it was getting entertainment, not drinking buddies.
On the ice, though, the actual hockey exceeded expectations.
Despite multiple rink construction delays and losing their first three games, it's hard to dispute the team's success. As they departed Williamsport for a final time, the Outlaws remained in second place in the FHL standings.
The team also, for a time, boasted the league's top scorer in Rob Sich. Sich then had a controversial exit with the Outlaws, mostly because of his reluctance to play defense in coach Chris Firriolo's scheme.
The Outlaws' Matt Smyth took over as the FHL leader in goals after Sich left. The Outlaws also had the league leader in points and assists with Trevor Karasiewicz.
The team played well enough to attract fans, but playing outdoors in the winter was too big of an obstacle.
"I spoke to the Outlaws and they were interested in coming here," Campana said when asked who was initially responsible for bringing the team to Williamsport. "We introduced the area to hockey. There are still a lot of Outlaws fans. I believe if it was in an indoor facility it would be much more successful."
But, there never was an indoor facility, though a Facebook page called Let's Build an Ice Arena was launched this week in hopes someone can still build one.
Then there is the notion that the Outlaws folding could give another hockey team pause when considering Williamsport.
"If bills aren't paid, then possibly," Campana said. "If these are issues that the mayor is addressing in regards to outstanding bills, then I don't see why it would be a black eye. It gave the people of Williamsport the opportunity to experience ice for the first time."
The Outlaws ended the venture Monday by canceling their final home game and ceasing operations.
"They fulfilled their home schedule, they played their home schedule," Campana said early last week. "I have no idea why they decided not to move on and play the rest of their away games and possibly be a playoff team."
Campana has since locked the Outlaws and Kirnan out of Bowman Field until the bills are paid.
The end
Online rumblings about the team's eventual demise began over the final stretch of games at Airmen Pond at Bowman Field.
The story of the Outlaws' failure almost came full-circle when they welcomed a once struggling Danville team in for what now proved to be the final home series. At one point over Williamsport's three month stay, Danville appeared to be the team in danger.
Rumors circulated that Danville was facing attendance problems. A delay in receiving their jerseys due to Hurricane Sandy only added to the speculation.
The two teams appeared to exchange roles like one of those life swapping movies as a depleted roster for Williamsport greeted the declining fans. If the shorthanded roster wasn't the perfect manifestation of the deteriorating interest in the team, the Outlaws play on the ice was.
Airmen Pond's final homestand ended with the Outlaws being blasted 12-4 over the course of the two-game series.
"From a hockey operations standpoint, this was a very challenging endeavor," Outlaws coach Chris Firriolo said. "We did this to bring professional hockey to Williamsport. We love the city. We love the dynamics the city is willing to offer. The problem was there was no rink."
But it didn't take someone on the inside to realize it gets cold in the winter. Or that there wasn't an indoor rink. Or even that people don't like to sit outside in the cold.
These are the reasons those involved have given for the massive failure that was Williamsport's first endeavor into professional hockey.
"I was at quite a few games," Campana said. "I would say I was at about eight games. When I was there I was quite satisfied with attendance. It was viable during warm weather, but once it got to late December and early January there weren't as many people. But fans there were diehard fans. Imagine if you had a controlled, indoor facility."
But not enough people were apparently willing to sit through the cold outdoor games imagining indoor hockey. Cutting ticket prices from $14 to $8 per game early in the season did little to help. An announced crowd of 3,447 gave the team a good start, but crowd sizes soon dwindled into the hundreds, where they stayed. And that opening night figure sounds inflated when it's considered that Bowman Field's capacity is listed at 4,200 and the box seats and other sections went unused that night because of poor rink sightlines.
"We knew how many fans we needed. There just wasn't enough," Kirnan said. "The owner (of the Outlaws) did everything that she needed to do. They did an excellent job of promoting. There were 4,000 fans the first night."
The Outlaws' official website listed the attendance at 3,447. Regardless of the number, the figure announced was good enough for an FHL single-game attendance record. It also was well over the "break-even" number of 1,200 to 1,500 fans per game as quoted by Kirnan.
"To break even we knew we needed 1,200 to 1,500 people each night," Kirnan said. "People didn't seem to want to attend games, and the cost became too much."
Just to put that number into perspective, the Crosscutters' average home attendance from the 2012 season was 1,700 fans, with most tickets costing less than half of the $14 the Outlaws initially charged.
That's 1,700 fans a game in the back yard of Little League in the middle of the summer, not a team trying to establish itself by bringing a new sport into the area.
Clearly, the mayor, the FHL and the Outlaws organization weren't expecting people to be bothered by the cold even though most used that as an excuse in one way or another.
"We knew how many fans we needed," Kirnan said. "There just was a lack of interest and support for the team."
"We had great support from the fans," former Outlaws captain Trevor Karasiewicz said. "All the fans said if it was warm outside they would show up. I don't even expect myself to sit outside and watch a game. It's not so bad for us when we're out there moving around. But for the fans, they look cold."
Karasiewicz, along with Chris Leveille, was selected by the Dayton Demonz in the league dispersal draft which took place Tuesday after the Outlaws officially folded. Other notable player pick-ups included Danbury, which signed Billy McCreary and Jeff Winchester, and 1000 Islands, which signed Matt Smyth and Paul Arnott Jr. Danville elected not to participate in the draft.
"It's tough, because you have the business side of it, which can get ugly at times, and you have the hockey side of it," Firriolo said. "For me, I'm here to coach the team and help oversee the organization.
"In my 20 years in this business this has been the most difficult challenge. It's not just the hockey part of it. It's operating an outdoor facility under the weather conditions and building a reputation in a new town," said Firriolo.
Fire and ice
The night of the Outlaws first weather-related pregame cancellation wasn't without incident.
An eagerly anticipated match-up with league-leading Dayton on Jan. 11 was called when a wet, sloppy day forced cancellation about an hour before start time, sending the Dayton players back to their rooms at The Genetti for some rest.
Around the same time as Dayton was checking in, a call erupted over the Sun Gazette's police scanner. Once hearing the call was for a bus fire in the Genetti parking lot, everybody grabbed their jackets and ran for the back of the building.
Initially, all that could be seen was a small light peaking its way out of the bus as black smoke filled the interior. Once around the back side, though, a much more vivid scene developed. The flames, which at one point looked like a small flashlight beam trying to escape through the smoke, reached out and chewed a sizable hole in the right side of the bus.
Just then, the line of Dayton players became visible. One leaned over to his teammate and said, "Welcome to the FHL" as the bus burned 20 yards away.
The fire was eventually put out without a single player injured, or a single piece of the their equipment damaged. But the bus was totaled.
The funny thing about the bus catching fire was, even with it happening less than 50 yards from Sun Gazette's back door, it was a rather slow night compared to some of the others faced during the FHL's hiccup in Williamsport.

Your Office is Saved — OpenOffice.org Forked!
Those who feared that one day OpenOffice.org might go the way of OpenSolaris have found peace of mind with the announcement of The Document Foundation. The Document Foundation, among other things, to broaden the support for a community based office product that's not reliant upon the generosity any commercial entity – or as the foundation says, "fulfil the promise of independence written in the original charter."
The foundation will be led by a Steering Committee of developers and will oversee the development of LibreOffice. As Sophie Gautier states, "it liberates the development of the code and the evolution of the project." Free software advocates are invited to join the foundation and current members and developers come from OpenOffice.org, Novell, Red Hat, Debian, and just about every other corner of the FLOSS community. Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and SUSE have already committed to shipping LibreOffice in lieu of OpenOffice.org in future releases.

We present evidence of transmission of lymphadenopathy-associated virus (LAV)/human T-lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III) from a man to his wife, and a return to a normal number of T-helper lymphocytes and loss of antibody after discontinuing sexual exposure to LAV/HTLV-III. The man had hemophilia A, and developed the lymphadenopathy syndrome, antibody to LAV, and a low number of T-helper lymphocytes. His wife, who had no risks for the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome other than sexual contact with him, developed LAV antibody (titer, 1:160) and a mildly decreased number of T-helper cells. The husband subsequently developed the syndrome and lost the LAV antibody. During 10 months of follow-up his wife remained clinically well, discontinued exposure to semen, and then lost the LAV antibody, and regained a normal number of T-helper cells.

Apple iPad Air vs Microsoft Surface Pro 2
iPad back in 2010, one that redefined the way consumers viewed the tablet segment entirely. Before its arrival, the only wide spread tablets in existence were those hulky laptop convertible ones that merely added touch functionality to the usual Windows experience. By no means were they intuitive, as many people quickly found out. So when the iPad exploded onto the scene, it really shook up things from a design and experience point of view. Throughout the iPad's reign (and its successors), Microsoft has been hanging back, plotting the next logical move to make a stab – and as we've seen, it was only recently when its Surface tablets were introduced. Microsoft has both the Surface 2, running on the new tablet-friendly Windows RT OS , and the Surface Pro 2, which has the full-fledged Windows 8.1 OS that is also running on laptops and desktops.
Rather than waiting until after the busy holiday season, Microsoft decided to launch its latest high profiled tablet, the Surface Pro 2, well ahead of Apple's iPad Air – a daring move that will hopefully entice consumers. These two mighty devices are different no doubt, as their starting price points indicate to us, but nevertheless, they're indeed tablets that have a lot to prove at the end of the day. So how do they stack up against one another? Let's cut the chit-chat and dive right into the nitty-gritty!
Tablets are supposed to be travel friendly, right? Like seriously, they absolutely need to be easier to handle than laptops. With that in mind, it's comforting to see that the iPad Air abiding by these rules, since it's impressively designed – to the point that it makes the Surface Pro 2 look grossly massive. For a tablet, there's no kidding that the Surface 2 is a hefty fella, but at least it's still easier to carry around than a full-sized laptop.
Thankfully though, the constructions with these two tablets are solid, thanks in part to their premium choice of materials. Specifically, the brushed aluminum casing of the iPad Air, and "VaporMg" chassis of the Surface Pro 2 gives them plenty of sturdiness, but due to the weightiness of Microsoft's tablet, it just seems more fragile. Therefore, we're constantly handling it with more caution than the iPad Air.
Visually, the designs of both tablets are likable. We're astounded by how easy it is to hold the iPad Air with a single hand, as its lightweight feel and the subtle curves around its trim provide us with a solid grip in the hand. Unfortunately, we can't say the same thing for the Surface Pro 2, since its heavy girth and the sharp angular cutouts, doesn't make it as comfortable to hold. However, those design characteristics blend to give it a distinctive industrial design that we find favorable.
Due to the wealth of ports on board with the Surface Pro 2, it proves its versatility over the iPad Air, which only bears a Lightning docking port for all of its connectivity. Meanwhile, the Surface Pro 2 is armed with ports that are akin to today's premium laptops – like a mini display port, microSD slot, USB 3.0 port, and a magnetic power port. Oh yeah, it also bundles in a useful kickstand, which is an appreciated item that's still a rarity with tablets in general.
Popular galleries
Neither tablet actually received upgrades to their respective displays, so the story here is the same as last year's comparison – a 9.7-inch 2048 x 1536 IPS LCD panel with the iPad Air, and a 10.6-inch 1920 x 1080 IPS LCD display with the Surface Pro 2. On paper, the iPad Air's Retina display churns out the higher pixel density count of 264 ppi. Although it's better, the Surface Pro 2's 208 ppi pixel density figure is still potent enough to give it plenty of detail and clarity. Therefore, it's nearly indistinguishable from a normal viewing distance to tell who has the upper hand – so they're equally sharp to the eye!
Since their displays employ IPS LCD technology, they appear to exhibit many of the same characteristics that make them pleasant. However, upon closer inspection, we realize that the iPad Air's panel offers slightly better viewing angles – while the Surface Pro 2's display has a warmer tone to it. As we take them outside where the sun is shining its rays down upon them, we're pleased to find that the two screens retain their clarity and visibility.

"it seems as though there's more value out of the Surface Pro 2"
But PhoneArena rating:
Microsoft Surface Pro 2: 8.5
Apple iPad Air: 9.2
Can you explain it?

Apple iPad Air vs Microsoft Surface 2
"Seriously though, we can go either way with this comparison"
But PhoneArena rating:
Microsoft Surface 2: 8.0
Apple iPad Air: 9.2
Can you explain it?
3. rawbow (Posts: 428; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
the 9.2 is for the build quality and the name ;)
7. MobileKicker (Posts: 212; Member since: 19 Sep 2013)
Can anybody explain me that how iPad Air beats surface pro 2
Ipad air crushes surface pro 2 in everything
8. shreyas.s666 (Posts: 80; Member since: 24 Aug 2012)
in what? can you explain? may be surface 2 not really pro
9. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)
iPad Air has better screen, lighter, thinner, more accessories, better app ecosystem, better quality, better brand=cool. As a tablet, it´s better and if you want Windows, get proper Windows 8 laptop.
10. papss (unregistered)
Right! Air wishes it could do everything that the pro 2 does. Don't be dumb
11. wildfiregt (Posts: 167; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
Surface Pro 2 features an intel i5 processor. more RAM. and a real Windows 8 with all programs of PC compatible. It is a PC itself. So no ,even if it is expensive. Nothing beats the Pro 2
13. JunitoNH (Posts: 1774; Member since: 15 Feb 2012)
If you want all that raw power, why not purchase an Ultrabook at those prices? sometimes we forget the purpose of tablets. Hell, you even have to carry the keyboard around. Tablets, "not" meant to replace your current laptop.
17. wildfiregt (Posts: 167; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
Currently you can use it without keyboard. just like any other. Why did Apple introduce keyboard to its new tablet ?
And yes it's true ,i'm rather buying an ultrabook at that price or even cheaper. But beside the price, this tablet is awesome. Dunno if the Ativ Q would be released cuz this one is a killer too
23. NEDM64 (Posts: 2; Member since: 14 Nov 2013)
Except a proper laptop, MacBook Air, for example, with a REAL KEYBOARD, and a REAL TRACKPAD, and a REAL OS.
18. alpinejason (Posts: 262; Member since: 06 Sep 2011)
but with the surface pro 2 it does not need to rely on applications as much since it runs the full o.s. unlike the scaled down version of the ipad
22. Altair (Posts: 367; Member since: 02 Feb 2012)
More accessories?
- Surface has A LOT more accessories ranging zillions of different PC compatible things. Apple has only lightning cable and some regular stuff.
Better app ecosystem?
- dude, Windows 8.1 has like million softwares. We are talking about some serious stuff here, like Call of Duty, Skyrim, Photoshop and zillion others. Apples best shot is some Infinity Blades ;)
Better quality?
- There is nothing wrong with surface quality
Better brand?
- Totally matter of taste
4. JMartin22 (Posts: 1969; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
I think it's mostly for the name.
5. VeloRabbit (Posts: 1; Member since: 14 Nov 2013)
This seems like an odd comparison to me. This is Tablet vs Tablet PC.
Would it make more sense to compare iPad Air to Surface 2 (Not Pro) to get a better tablet vs tablet comparison?
Then things like Price difference, weight, lack of full office vs free iWorks, would be more valid.
This is like comparing a compact SUV to a full size SUV and saying the compact is a better value with price and gas consumption, despite not being able to carry as much.

Surface pro 2 \m/ ftw

Sales will tell the tale...How much has Microsoft lost in revenues since its inception?? a LOT. It won't sell because it has no real identity...consumers are confused, is it a laptop or a tablet? too expensive for tablet buyers, and too limited for those looking at laptops.
14. Pdubb (Posts: 248; Member since: 08 Aug 2011)
You are thinking Surface2 the Surface Pro2 has no limitations compared to full sized laptops. It's favorable in fact to any ultrabook.
19. bigwavesurfer4 (Posts: 13; Member since: 13 Jun 2011)
I feel like Phonearena has this same idea in mind which is frustrating when it comes to reviews. I own a surface 2 and the difference is clear. The surface 2 is a tablet. Meant for apps, productivity through office and watching movies. Surface pro 2 is not an ipad like tablet. Its an utlrabook with a touchscreen....how is that confusing?
Secondly i don't agree that sales should dictate reviews. Phonearena often bases its reviews on popularity...no one is talking about how the surface rt was given an 8.5....the surface 2 is better in every way...why the low score? Sales were poor for the rt. Imagine what the score would be and the review if the apple sales migrated to microsoft. Either way...both are great pieces of tech. Just think that not too long ago these monsters were non existent.

People in the know realize that the Surface Pro is an Ultra book in the Shape of a Tablet. and that there are really 2 types of tablets on the market built for 2 different proposes.
type 1=touch screen Apps only Tablets. in that group you have the Apple ipads, Android Tablets, Surface RT, Surface 2. and the New Nokia 2520. these devices do not do full fledged Desktop/Server applications. Type 2= PC Tablets these tablets run Touch screen Apps, and can run complex full Desktop/Server programs, CAD programs ECT. The Surface Pro and the other tablets MS OEM partners Tablets out there. Running Windows 8.1 or old Windows 7 OS tablets are in this group, What a person really has to do is ask them self is what do they want to do with a tablet. If they want to use it to do full desktop/Server Programs then you buy a Windows 8.1 tablet PC, if you do not want to run
full desktop/Server programs on your tablet then get a Apple Ipad , Android tablet. or a Surface RT, Surface 2, or the new dynamic Nokia 2520. Folks what do you want to do with your TABLET! Do you know!

Seriously a play tablet compared to a PC?! Weird...
20. twens (Posts: 978; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
Hahaha, this site is so pro apple. How can you even compare a toy to a pc? This is a full pc which is almost slim as an iPad with equally same battery life. That is what I call innovation. With blue stacksyou can get almost all the apps on android play store plus you get lots of windows .exe apps. Don't ever make this comparison again. You guys are not professionals at all.

How did this pass a review board? These should not be compared.
A PC that can run LoL, connect to a bluetooth/usb OBD tool and diagnosis my cars check engine light, connect a external hdd/blu-ray drive for the long hauls in the car or air plane, run native flash etc.

lol, iPad air is like a toy compared to Surface Pro 2. Ipad & iPhone will always be icons for launcher. I can make a java & .NET program in Surface Pro 2 or run Linux in VirtualBox. Can iPad do that? Until now iOS 7 doesn't even have true multitasking capability.
25. TheNeighbor (Posts: 232; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
Is it me or the Surface Pro 2's Wacom active pen digitizer wasn't featured with this article? It's running the full latest Windows OS,something people are even using on their Mac laptops or ultrabooks.
The iPad Air can't run stuff I personally use for work like CAD, 3D Studio Max, Photoshop, SketchUp. The Wacom pen would even be more useful for sketching out ideas and it comes free with the Pro. To be able to have those running smoothly at a certain capacity on a package like the Surface Pro 2 is incredible enough. I want one to even to play certain full PC games with the graphics mirrored onto large smart TVs. I'd gladly carry the lighter Surface Pro 2 than my Alienware MX14R2 daily.
This is not to say the Air isn't useful and handy. I'm impressed with the Air's battery stamina. But for $200 more, I'd get more for my money's worth with the Surface Pro 2 and would spend another $100+ for the new thinner type cover with backlighting. The Pro would certainly far offer more functions than the iPad Air. I can bump up the capacity with a 64GB micro SD card which cost less than $60, or hook up an entire 2TB HDD easily. I don't have to hook it up to another computer to load media.

I think your still missing the point. The iPad is a tablet and the Surface is a PC, bottom line. To use those programs you talked about, same ones I use in my profession everyday, you need a keyboard and a mouse. I hope your smart enough to just get a full fledged laptop than spend all this money on a surface tablet. You speak about money, well for less than either of these, iPad/Surface, you can get a full laptop which would still run circles around the Surface. CAD and Photoshop are not ideal on a touch screen for heavy editing. Good luck trying to edit an elevation or floor plan not using a mouse on CAD (without wanting to pull your hair out). And a laptop does not take up all that much more space than a surface with keyboard and mouse.
All Im saying is yes this surface runs circles around the iPad, but its because your talking about 2 different categories. If you work in construction and haul stuff around you get a pick-up truck not a cadillac. Yes you could throw lumber in the back of the caddy but its not ideal.
28. dogma (Posts: 2; Member since: 10 Jul 2013)
I think the only one here missing the point is you.
So, what exactly stops you from hooking up a full keyboard and mouse to a surface?
You do realise also that it features a displayport through which you can hook up an additional big monitor, right?
At home, I also use a USB 3.0 dual video docking station. In addition to a big monitor that is hooked up through the display port. This effectively gives me a workstation of 4 HD screens (3 monitors + the surface screen itself). And to get all that, I just need to plug in 2 cables (a USB cable and the displayport).
Plugging in those 2 cables gives me full keyboard, mouse, 3 big HD monitors, gigabit ethernet and (in total) some 11 additional USB ports I can use.
If I would plug it in, then hide the surface, sit you down at my desk and then tell you that what you see on screen is my desktop workstation... You would buy it. You literally wouldn't see the difference in terms of performance at all. Unless if we would fire up GTA5 or something - off course.
But for everyday productivity work (I'm a software engineer, so I live in Visual Studio, sql server, profiling tools etc) this is a bomb.
I used to have a desktop tower at home and at the office. Additionally, I used to carry a laptop around to customers. And at home, I'ld read the mails/news/etc on an android tablet in the sofa.
All 4 of these devices were thrown out in favor of a single surface pro and 2 docking stations (one for home, one for the office).
The pro and the docking stations + cables in total set me back some 1600 euro. Yes, it's not cheap.
However...... try calculating the cost of 2 desktop towers, a laptop and an ipad/android tablet. See if you can get that for less then 1600 euro.
People have this weird idea it seems that it is somehow "forbidden" to use anything but touch on a surface. Ridiculous.
It has a USB3.0 and a display port for a reason. And that reason is exactly the way I use it. It transforms the thing into a power house with 4 monitors. And the funny part is... I could make it 6 monitors.
An i5 with 4 or 8 gigs of ram is a more then decent machine you know...
30. TheNeighbor (Posts: 232; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
Dude, I already have a full laptop as I have mentioned. It's about 5kg which includes the power adapter. Did you know that Microsoft had produced qwerty board and mouse for the Surface Pro specifically? Heck, I do Revit too. I'm even an instructor. I know my hardware requirements for the programs I use. I'm considering getting the Surface Pro 2 256GB model for the 8GB RAM. I'd like something thinner at times, but still can do some heavy lifting. My job is mostly out of the office, and on site.
The Surface Pro's Wacom digitizer is something I want too for digital painting or sketching on-location occasionally. I don't need to find the a flat surface to hook up a separate Wacom Cintique to sketch something I am observing or thinking.
Yes, I do recognize the iPad Air is a different category. I never got any of the iPads because they can't satisfy my requirements for a tablet form device. Phone Arena should have compared this with the Surface (RT) 2 instead for a closer match. But I'd choose the Surface (RT) 2 over the iPad Air for the active digitizer, backlit keyboard cover, removable memory expansion, USB 3 ports, and no need to connect to another PC to load media.
26. iampayne (Posts: 322; Member since: 12 Aug 2013)
Everyone calling the iPad a toy is just sily. Please explain to me how its a toy. The only legitimate apps you can not run on an iPad are heavy programs like CAD and FULL Photoshop. You can use word processing apps, google docs, word (soon to be released), pages, etc. There is not a local file manager, unless its built into the app, but most things are moving to the cloud anyway. You can even do some decent video editing on the iPad. So Im not seeing how you would classify it as a toy. I am not saying its more productive than the Surface but by no means is the iPad a toy.
29. dogma (Posts: 2; Member since: 10 Jul 2013)
I think what people generally mean by calling it a "toy" is that its obvious prime focus is on consumption of data. Be it reading of mails, news, blogs or watching movies, listening to music, playing a game,...
Off course people can write some apps for it that give you some limited productivity capabilities. But the keyword here is "limited".
This entire idea that tablets are only good for specific use-cases is an apple invention that the world has just swallowed without questioning.
Microsoft now is saying "there isn't a single reason why a tablet couldn't do what a full pc can do". And they are correct about that. Yes, this will always involve hybrid machines...
For detailed/specialised productivity work, you're gonna want to have precision input (keyb/mouse) and sufficient screen real estate (display port; docking station...).
Look at it this way...
ipad / android tablets = giant phones that can't place calls.
surface pro style tablets = small pc's (in physical size - not necessarily in terms of power... an i5 with 8 gigs of RAM is very decent)
surface rt style tablets = dumbed down pc's with limited capability (= approaching the 'giant phone' equivalent, but with some extra sauce on top)
In terms of operating systems the above comparision is spot-on.
ipad/iphone = ios
surface / laptops / desktops = full windows
The bottom line is simple...
No ipad or android based tablet is capable of replacing your full pc.
Every intel based windows tablet IS a pc - and thus very capable of replacing a full desktop pc and/or laptop.
An ipad is a "toy" to pc's just like a smartphone is a "toy" to pc's.

"This entire idea that tablets are only good for specific use-cases is an apple invention that the world has just swallowed without questioning."
As an anthropologist, I will agree that you just hit the nail right on its head with that. I have studied this phenomena myself and it couldn't be more correct. We have all become so accustomed and molded on how to use our devices, generally thanks to the programs/limited apps made for them.
For now, nothing will beat a PC regardless of its form, state or shape.
31. diyi75 (Posts: 70; Member since: 30 Oct 2013)
Phonearena is biased. How do u compare a tablet with a tablet PC?
32. Pancholo (Posts: 380; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
And this is why people will forever hate Windows 8 RT. This should have been between the RT and the iPad ONLY. Comparisons like these confuse people further and make no sense unless we're only talking about portability.
iPad = Tablet; good for web surfing, music and playing Angry Birds.
Surface Pro = PC; good for EVERYTHING in life.
34. NEDM64 (Posts: 2; Member since: 14 Nov 2013)
10 years from now on, we will talk about who was right. If we aren't already using all tablets, and all the computing muscle will be acessible through the cloud.
That's how things are, and the iPad is just the face of it.
36. Pancholo (Posts: 380; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
In the future we will simply observe an even bigger and more obvious immersion/hybridization of devices to cater for what everybody will desire at some point - a true all-in-one, which is what Microsoft and various OEMs have been trying to provide.
Personally, I would find it interesting if Apple would eventually swallow their pride and release a touch-screen-optimized Mac OS to put on MacBooks, or they will probably continue to rely on their divided playing field as it is right now: desktops, laptops, tablets. Whichever path they choose, an iPad will always remain a toy or a light workstation only limited by the hardware and apps provided.
The future is now. Windows will just get more and more portable and optimized with further releases, and the rest will only level the playing field (if not surpass them).
35. TheNeighbor (Posts: 232; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
Yes, I agree with what you're saying. But I think future devices will be full PCs.
Right now, Microsoft has done a good with the Surface Pro lineup, providing us amazing processing power in a small nice package.
37. TheNewNormal (Posts: 1; Member since: 22 Nov 2013)
No mention of the excellent wacom active digitiser. Aside from it's obvious uses, hovering above the screen to move through 'mouse-over' web menus is really cool.
38. cincella (Posts: 1; Member since: 06 Jan 2014)
The Pro2 is a laptop that detaches. The iPad is a real tablet. The late Mr. Steve Jobs was right when he said Microsoft has no taste. Leave the innovation and quality to Apple and let Mr. Gates trail behind with some clunky "me too" product.

I just bought a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 to replace my Toshiba laptop, and all I can say is that I've never been happier with my choice. I absolutely love my Surface Pro 3. And as a result of this, I am also going to buy a Surface Pro 2 to use as my tablet when I'm out of the house. Regarding the build quality of this device is absolutely high-end. I mainly love the straight edges, no curved edges like on the Ipads and other companies' products. It's absolutely comfortable to hold in your hands, plus the addition of the kick-stand is just a very convenient feature. This device is all metal construction. I bought a Bluetooth Logitech keyboard and a Bluetooth Microsoft mouse and I am also set. One more thing, I just hate the curvy edges of all products; to me straight edges give more grip than any other edges.

We've just bought a job lot of unused vintage school exercise books.
Adelle used to get very excited about her crisp, clean exercise books at the start of each new school year. It was obvious that the feeling hadn't diminished much as she tore open the brown packaging to get hold of one.
They're the very nice sturdy hardback type in pale blue – feint rule lines on one side and blank on the other – ideal for notes & sketches.
Perhaps you have the perfect use for one.
They'll appear on our website this week at £3 each.

Forget boy's toys, it's the fairer sex which is shelling out for gadgets these days as technology gets smaller and more user friendly.
It doesn't matter whether it's MP3 players, netbooks, laptops or digital cameras, gadgets which were previously the preserve of geeks are now the object of women's desires.
Now that it's acceptable to buy gadgets for your wife, girlfriend or mother this Christmas, we have put together the definitive list of the best female friendly gadgets on the market.
Forget patronizing pink, we have gone for the tiny gadgets which ooze style and charisma- and a USB foot warmer for good measure.
PNY Lady Attche 4GB - £32.50
Everyone needs portable storage these days, but most USB sticks are designed with the male in mind.
PNY has brought a little feminism to the USB market with the Lady Attache, which is styled to impress with delicate patterns which look as comfortable in your handbag as they do in your laptop.
And with 14 MB/s write speeds, you won't be hanging around waiting for files to copy either.
LG Prada - £254
The devil may wear Prada, but for ordinary women with an eye for style, the LG Prada is a must have phone.
In a market dominated by the iPhone the LG Prada brought touch screen technology, good looks and a 2 megapixel camera to a simple phone.
The original LG Prada or the K850 is getting on a bit now, but still offers good value and great functionality.
Nintendo Wii Fit - £119.99
Staying in shape has never been more fun, and for the second Christmas running, the Wii Fit is still one of the most desirable gifts on the market.
Wii Fit works through a series of exercises and takes a host of information using the movable balance board which records data such as body mass index, weight and the length of time you've exercised.
Wii Fit becomes a channel on the Wii's interface, so you can share progress with others online for added fun.
Acer Aspire One - £279.99
Carrying around a laptop isn't always practical with all the other things girls have to deal with, so buying a tiny netbook like the Acer Aspire One is the way forward.
The 9" laptop is small enough to be slipped into a normal shoulder bag, but still packs a punch power-wise.
There's a 1.7GHz Atom processor, an impressive 120GB hard drive, and available in a range of colours, including a feminine pink.
Nintendo DS - £133.99
For the gaming girl who likes entertainment on the move, there's only one choice, the Nintendo DS Lite.
The Lite has been scaled down massively from the original DS, which makes it perfect for slipping into handbags and shoulder bags.
The DS features a great range of games including Brain Training, Mario Karts, Super Mario Bros and even the brand new Lego Batman.
iPod Nano 8GB - £97.65
The modern woman requires style, portability and the best functionality in their gadgets, and music players are no exception.
There are no sleeker, sexier nor lighter players on the market than the iPod Nano, which comes in a range of vibrant colours and weighs just 37g despite having enough space for thousands of tunes, as well as photos and up to eight hours of video.
USB foot warmer £9.99
For toasty tootsies this winter the USB foot warmer is the perfect winter warmer for any female techie.
The socks are heated via the USB port, which means the warmers will work on any PC you're near, whether that's at your desk, in the office or sat on the sofa in front of the TV. There's no excuse for cold computing this year.
Lips Xbox 360 - £39.99
The Xbox 360 got a nod in our Christmas gadgets for guys list this year, thanks to Microsoft's price cuts making it the most competitive priced console on the market.
However, next generation gaming doesn't just have to be for men, and Lips is the perfect Xbox 360 game for a girl's night in.
The budget price not only buys the game, but two wireless microphones, so you can belt out classics by Kaiser Chiefs, Duffy, Dido and more.
Sony Cybershot W170 - £192.92
One of the unsung heroes of photography is the truly photogenic Cybershot W170.
The fantastically styled and vibrantly coloured compact digital camera takes great pictures thanks to its 10.1 megapixel sensor, and hosts a range of macro settings which means outdoor snaps look as good as dark shots from those girly nights out.
iBuzz Two Vibrator - £19.99
Finally, the gadget men can only dream of. The iBuzz brings pleasure to your stocking this Christmas and is one strictly for the bedroom.
The iBuzz is a vibrator which plugs into your iPod or MP3 player, and stimulates in time to your favourite music. Techradar recommends dubstep for the ultimate in bass driven pleasure.

Texts: Andre Breton, Nadja; Michael Ondaatje, Coming Through Slaughter; William Carlos Williams, Patterson; and Poetry to My Ear: An Interactive Guide to the Art and Craft of Poetry. Students are also required to read material (poems, essays, short stories) distributed in class or posted on the web, or placed on reserve in the library.
This course satisfies a baccalaureate degree requirement in Art. Its goal is to give students "practice and criticism in the reading, analysis, and composition of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry writing." Because it is an introductory course, ENGL 50 assumes that students do not possess the creative writing skills of experienced novelists, poets, essayists, and playwrights. It is not designed for English majors. But to focus on the obvious, it is a college course and, as such, assumes college-level writing skills. It is decidedly not a forum for remediation. Therefore, I hope that students will regard ENGL 50 as an opportunity to develop strategies both for writing well and for writing creatively.
Print out all papers on 8 1/2" X 11" smooth-edged paper. Double-space your work, and use 1" margins. Give all projects a title, but do not type this title, your name, my name, or this course's title on a separate cover page. Do not place your work inside an attractive folder. Instead, all pertinent information should appear on the first page of your work (upper right-hand corner). Note: It is a good idea (1) to make a back-up copy of all work that you turn in and (2) to keep all papers that are returned to you.
I will show little-to-no toleration in dealing with late papers. I will glance at late work only to determine whether it merits a grade of "D" or "F." Late work is, by definition, below-average; deadlines are a normal and necessary component of all scholarly and artistic production. Familiarize yourself, early on, with course requirements.
Feel free--make that, feel obligated--to check on the progress of your writing during the course of this term. Should you need special assistance in understanding or in completing an assignment, come see me. My office hours are posted, but I am willing to make appointments to meet at other times. My phone number is (717) 771-4157 (office). My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
No one missing class three times or more will pass ENGL 50. If you are tardy or if you leave class early, you have missed 1/2 of that class. There is no such thing as an excused or unexcused absence; there are only explained and unexplained absences. A missed class means missed material. Never--if you miss class--ask me if you missed anything. For example, let's say you miss class becase your car breaks down. Then you missed class for a good reason. But you still missed class. Missed notes should be copied from a fellow student.

BWW Review: With Class and Clarity, Christine Andreas Brings the Music and Madness of CAFE SOCIETY to Feinstein's/54 Below
by Alix Cohen - Mar 5, 2016
In her new show, Café Society at Feinstein's/54 Below, Christine Andreas doesn't so much sing Puttin' On the Ritz (Irving Berlin) as personify it, channeling the attitude and era in which it was conceived. With just a tad of hip action, tipping shoulders, and an elongated ssss, the artist shares a really good time. So, where are we going after the show . . . to Harlem's Savoy or The Copa? (The Copacabana) . . . This evening is about the late 1920s to the early '60s an ongoing party of glamour and excess . . . when everybody was listening to the same music. (more...)

Road to Opening Week 1: Cynthia Dale Begins Rehearsals for A Little Night Music
by Guest Blogger: Cynthia Dale - Mar 14, 2016
Starting a new show is a gloriously wonderful, terrifying experience. Everything I think I know about acting gets questioned. My heart races, my mind becomes numb and my soul pushes against the cage of fear. I am a 55 year old actor. I have been doing this since I was five, but it doesn't get any easier. It's the terror of the first day of school mixed with the joy of spring after a long winter. New beginnings, new friendships, new families, new life. (more...)

Mercyhurst men's hockey team rallies past RIT
ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Daniel Bahntge scored twice and Max Strang made 39 saves as the Mercyhurst men's hockey team defeated RIT 5-3 Friday night.
The Lakers, who are unbeaten in their past four games, scored twice in the third period to break a 3-3 tie.
Bahntge and Nick Jones both recorded first-period goals for the Lakers (3-2-1, 3-1-0 Atlantic Hockey Association) before RIT's Alexander Kuqali made the score 2-1 before the first intermission.
Bahntge's second goal came just 13 seconds into what would be a penalty-filled second period.
RIT (2-5-1, 1-2-1) took advantage on two separate power-play opportunities, as Greg Noyes and Mike Colavecchia tied the game before the end of the period.
In the third, Tyler Shiplo scored the eventual game-winning goal off a pass from Matthew Zay. Daniel O'Donoghue added an empty-net goal in the final seconds.
The Lakers are off today and will return to the ice Friday at 7 p.m. against Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Zynga Hacked: Guy gets £50,000 from virtual money
Ashley Mitchell, an IT professional from Paignton, Devon, England was recently charged with hacking Zynga's Facebook poker game. He admitted accessing Zynga's computers and putting 400 billion credits into fake facebook accounts, which he was then selling for real money. I think Zynga is trying to have its cake and eat it, too. On the one hand, they do not put vigorous security controls in place because it's just a game and it's play money. On the other hand, they want to cry foul and make analogies between virtual currency and real currency when someone bypasses their weak security and starts making money.

D-Mannose with CranActin
Solaray D-Mannose with Cran-Actin is a powerful one-two punch to help restore comfortable and healthy urinary tract function. Most people are familiar with cranberry extract's benefits for the urinary tract. D-mannose is a natural and harmless pentose sugar that's less well-known but just as effective as cranberry, if not more so. Both work by inhibiting the ability of bacteria to adhere to the inner surfaces of the urinary tract and avoid being eliminated. Since both D-mannose and Cran-Actin cranberry extract are reliable and effective ways to promote urinary tract health, many users employ both nutrients, but until now that's meant buying and using two separate products. With Solaray D-Mannose with Cran-Actin, you get the two most-effective urinary tract nutrients in just on one highly effective product.
D-Mannose with CranActin
D-Mannose is a natural sugar (similar to glucose) that has been studies for its potential ability to support a normal, healthy urinary tract. CranActin Cranberry AF extract has also been added to help create the ultimate bacterial antiadherence formula!

We report ground-based observations of [SII] 6731 /AA/ and NaI 5890,5896 /AA/ made in conjunction with Galileo's Io encounters last fall. Images were taken simultaneous with the I24 encounter in October 1999 and shortly after the I25 encounter in November 1999 using coronagraphic optics at the Catalina Observatory 61'' telescope near Tucson. These observations provide an essential global context for understanding \textit{in situ} measurements made by Galileo as it passed through the plasma torus.
We find that the ribbon feature generally seen in ground-based observations of the ionized sulfur torus (Schneider and Trauger, ApJ, 450, 450, 1995) is present during both the I24 and I25 encounters. We present variations in the brightness and location of this feature as a function of magnetic longitude during the Galileo encounters as well as a discussion of the persistence of this feature from 1988 to the present. We also discuss the presence or absence of Io's sodium features, including the slowly escaping extended neutral cloud, the fast sodium directional feature, and the molecular ion stream. The implications for Io's atmospheric escape are considered in light of these data.
This work is supported by the NASA Planetary Astronomy Program and the Jupiter System Data Analysis Program.

The pretzel version isn't ordinary challah twisted into a pretzel. It's a lighter dough braided like classic challah, then immersed in a baking soda solution and sent to the oven, emerging with a glistening, deep mahogany crust and pretzel flavor. "I've always loved the pretzel," says Cohen, so that became the first in his line of gourmet challahs.
A skilled chef, Cohen worked in his father's restaurant growing up in Paris, where his parents settled after emigrating from Tunisia. In Los Angeles since 1981, he began cooking kosher meals for friends, then started wholesaling pre-packaged kosher foods to companies that wanted kosher options in their food service outlets.
A year ago, Cohen opened the retail shop, where all the food is dairy-free. It's a café too, with a few tables on the sidewalk, grab-and-go prepared foods and a long menu of kosher dishes that require advance order. In addition to plain pretzel challah, Cohen now offers pretzel challah with Belgian chocolate chunks, a whole wheat version, one sprinkled with sea salt and another with onions inside and out.
At first
the breads were available only on Friday,
baked for that night's Shabbat dinner. Now,
some form of pretzel challah is available
daily, emerging from the ovens around 3 p.m.
Got Kosher? Provisions: 8914 W. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, (310) 858-1920.

Tyler Sulka is eating his way into a starting job and solidifying Arizona State's offensive line.
To keep the left side of the line intact from last season, ASU needed Sulka to bulk up so he could play right tackle and Jamil Douglas could remain at left guard.
The 6-foot-5 Sulka was up over 270 pounds in the spring but needed to add 20 more the right way to match up with left tackle Evan Finkenberg (6-4, 293), Douglas (6-4, 303), center Kody Koebensky (6-3, 290) and right guard Vi Teofilo (6-3, 314).
"I've been gaining weight ever since I got here," said Sulka, who was around 255 coming out of Notre Dame High in Sherman Oaks, Calif., in 2010. "I actually eat all the time, and I eat a lot. It's about putting on good weight. It's very difficult to do unless you're working in the weight room a lot and eating a lot of the right stuff. It's a very hard commitment but something I had to do if I wanted to start."
Katy Meassick is ASU's new sports dietician after two years in the same position at the University of Pennsylvania. She started just a week before football camp began, but Sulka credits her with helping to maintain his new weight through the heat and two-a-day practices.
Meassick made a point to learn the names of 105 football players in five days so she could quickly begin building a working relationship with each one.
"Once you build trust, they are more apt to buy in," she said. "Then when they play well and feel well, they buy in more and more."
At the training table, which is not offered in the Ivy League, Meassick is able to be more involved with food choices than she was at Penn.
"Everybody is an individualist," Meassick said. "We don't make them eat foods they don't like. We make a nutrition plan with foods they are willing to eat."
She will "plate coach" an athlete through the food line, offering suggestions that bring color (fruits, vegetables).
"Those trying to gain weight think they have to increase volume, and that's not always the case," she said. "You find good foods that are compact with good calories."
Sulka started one game in 2011 and two last season when lined up as a blocking tight end. Now he's on the first team, replacing departed Bryce Schwab, with Teofilo taking over for Andrew Sampson.
Offensive-line results have been promising, especially during Saturday's scrimmage at Camp Tontozona.
"It's really been big for him (Sulka) to step up," coach Todd Graham said. "He's got to keep getting better and pushing, but he's done a great job and really solidified that five."
Banding together
After Tuesday's practice, the football players and marching band met at the arboretum near Sun Devil Stadium to share watermelon and popsicles. The team and band again will join together on home game days for the Devil Walk, a pep rally held two hours and 15 minutes before kickoff. .
Avoiding letdown
Graham said his players practiced well.
"I thought they'd kind of be flat, especially outside (for the first 45 minutes)," he said. "They really worked hard and got a lot of work accomplished."
He mentioned Robert Nelson for showing promise in his second day at free safety, offensive linemen Stephon McCray and Sil Ajawara and defensive end Junior Onyeali.

Electrophoresis is the movement of charged particles in solution under the influence of an external electrical field. Paper electrophoresis employs filter paper strips soaked in buffer solution, usually diethylbarbituric acid and barbituric acid dissolved in alkali (Veronal buffer), pH 8.6. A small volume of serum is placed on the paper and a direct current passed for several hours. The serum proteins separate into five zones, which can be made visible by staining with dyes. The protein migrating farthest is albumin; then, in order, come α1-, α2-, β-, and γ-globulin. Occasionally, the β zone is split into β1 and β2 zones. By use of a densitometer, the amount of dye in each zone may be measured and recorded as a tracing with peaks corresponding to each dyed zone (Fig 1).1
Quantitation of Serum Proteins.—
Paper electrophoresis provides only an approximate value for the serum proteins. Analysis

Mischievous Democrats to spark up 72-candle cakes for McCain's birthday
When John McCain rolls into Dayton, Ohio, Friday to rally with his newly minted running mate, local Democratic activists will be on hand to wish him a happy birthday — a happy 72d birthday.
According to the Ohio Democratic Party:
"The party will feature a birthday cake with 72 candles and a mobile billboard featuring a photo that tells voters everything they need to know about John McCain — and his eager embrace of George Bush's failed policies, with the message, `Does This Look Like Change To You.' "
Democrats will have cakes in Youngstown, too. And in other a dozen other battlegrounds: Denver, Phoenix, and in Pittsburgh and Erie, Penn.
Not a poke at McCain's age, certainly not, a national party official insists. You'd put 20 candles on the cake for a 20 year old. Shouldn't you put 72 candles on the cake of a 72-year-old?

The following is a proposed panel for the RSA conference in Miami, 22-24 March 2007. We are interested in papers dealing with public displays throughout the Habsburg Empires (both Austrian and Spanish branches). The focus should be on civic occasions of pageantry, where ephemeral forms of art, carefully staged spectacles, and splendid rites of power, served to construct the ideal image of early modern rulers. The interpretation of these 'multimedia' events calls for an interdisciplinary approach, which will bring together specialists in communication studies, art history, anthropology, political sociology, and literature. The aim is to show the great variety of elite and popular celebrative elements (royal entries, tournaments, cockaignes, cavalcades, masquerades, court balls, firework displays, theatrical representations, and so forth) stemming from communities ranging from the most disparate geographical locations and cultural traditions that constituted the Habsburg world.
Proposals should include the following items:
1. Preliminary abstract, 150-300 words.
2. CV with e-mail address, phone and fax numbers.
Please send them via e-mail attachments to:

Brit prod'n company sold for $51 mil
Ricochet, the British production company behind the hit ABC and Channel 4 show "Supernanny," has agreed to a £30 million ($51.4 million) sale to Shed Prods., which makes "Footballers' Wives" for ITV.
Shed, listed on London's Alternative Investment Market, will pay $42.8 million upfront in stock, cash and loans, plus a further $8.6 million dependent on Ricochet's performance.
Ricochet managing director Nick Powell and creative director Nick Southgate will join Shed as exec directors, with stakes of 8.1% and 3.7%, respectively.
Shed chief exec Eileen Gallagher described the two companies as "a perfect fit." Shed primarily produces populist drama series for ITV, whereas Ricochet makes factual, leisure and lifestyle shows for C4 and the BBC.
Both companies have a toehold in the American market — Ricochet with "Supernanny," whose second season has just been extended from 14 to 22 episodes, and Shed with a first-look deal at Fox.
Sale was brokered by Ingenious Corporate Finance, whose director Sanjay Wadhwani said, "The enlarged group will be better placed to take advantage of opportunities in the U.K. and overseas, particularly in the U.S. market, where Ricochet has a Los Angeles office."
