Atlanta Hawks
Jeff Teague (6-2, 181, Wake Forest), Kyle Korver (6-7, 212, Creighton), Paul Millsap (6-8, 253, Louisiana Tech), DeMarre Carroll (6-8, 212, Missouri), Pero Antic (6-11, 260, Macedonia).
Detroit Pistons
Brandon Jennings (6-1, 169, Oak Hill Academy, Va.), Kyle Singler (6-8, 230, Duke), Josh Smith (6-9, 225, Oak Hill Academy, Va.), Greg Monroe (6-11, 250, Georgetown), Andre Drummond (6-10, 270, Connecticut).
--Tonight is the makeup of a Jan. 29 game that was postponed after a paralyzing rush-hour ice storm struck Atlanta. The Pistons played a home game the night before and never traveled to Atlanta for the next night's game because of the threatening weather.
--The Hawks are two games ahead of the New York Knicks for eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference after Atlanta swept two weekend games, 117-98 Friday over Cleveland, and 107-88 Sunday at Indiana. The Hawks have six games remaining, while the Knicks have four.
--The Pistons are 23-23 when they outrebound opponents. They are 4-24 when outrebounded and 1-2 when rebounds are equal.
--Millsap is the only NBA player averaging at least 16 points, eight rebounds, three assists, one steal and one blocked shot per game.
--Pistons rookie Peyton Siva figures to see continued playing time after extensive minutes the last two games in place of injured reserve point guard Will Bynum.
--The Pistons trail the season series 2-1 but won the most recent meeting, 115-107, Feb. 21 at The Palace of Auburn Hills, overcoming a second quarter when the Hawks shot 17 of 20 and scored 41 points with a big second-half surge as Jennings, Smith, Monroe and Drummond all had double-doubles. The Hawks won the first two games Nov. 20 and 22, 93-85 at Atlanta and 96-89 at The Palace, respectively. Those games were best remembered for Smith not taking the Pistons' team flight home after the Nov. 20 loss and missing a practice when then-coach Maurice Cheeks called a practice the next morning during the flight home. The practice after a back to back caught Smith by surprise (the Pistons also played Nov. 19), and he was withheld from the starting lineup for the game two days later against the Hawks, the first time he played in a game without starting since Nov. 18, 2005, a span of 604 consecutive starts. Smith didn't react well to the benching. He was held scoreless for the first time since his rookie year.
It appears increasingly likely that the Pistons will lock into either the seventh or eighth spot going into the NBA Draft Lottery, so even on the occasion of their biggest remaining game in the overall league context, a few early notes about what comes next.
First, the draft lottery is May 20, so keep that date in mind.
Second, as you probably know, the Charlotte Bobcats eventually will receive a protected first-round draft pick from the Pistons to complete an old trade. That transfer will happen this year unless Detroit drafts in the top eight overall. Right now, the Pistons have the eighth-worst record in the league, right on the dividing line, pending lottery results.
Third, if the top-eight-protected draft pick's transfer is deferred until either 2015 (No. 1 protected) or 2016 (unprotected), one big reason is because the Bobcats swept the Pistons 3-0 and helped keep Detroit in the bottom eight.
Fourth, while there remains some chance the Pistons could win enough to catch the ninth-worst Cleveland Cavaliers, or lose enough to catch the sixth-worst Los Angeles Lakers, the biggest likelihood is that the Pistons finish either seventh-worst or eighth-worst. Only one game separates Detroit (28-49) from Sacramento (27-50). From a lottery perspective, the difference is miniscule -- the No. 7 lottery team gets 36 of the 1,000 lottery combinations, while the No. 8 team gets 35 -- but since the Pistons need a top-eight pick to retain it, there's a big risk differential at No. 8, where only one team has to get lucky to leapfrog them out of the first round, and No. 7, where the probability of keeping their pick soars.
Fifth, lottery ties will be broken by coin flip, not head-to-head records and other such tiebreakers used for playoffs.
If the Pistons enter the lottery with the eighth-most combinations, as they would if the season ended today, they would have a 3.5-percent chance at the No. 1 overall pick, 3.3 percent at No. 2, 3.9 percent at No. 3, and 72.4 percent at No. 8. There also would be a 16.8-percent chance of landing at No. 9, and a less-than-1-percent chance of landing at No. 10 or 11, any of which would send the pick to Charlotte.

#12 Go to a shooting range
Even though I completed this task approximately a month after turning 24, I'm still crossing it off the list. I had bought a Living Social deal for Shooters Pistol Range. It was going to expire next weekend, so on Sunday afternoon we made the hour drive to shoot. And it was really, really fun!
M, not surprisingly, hit the bulls-eye multiple times, where as I'm not so good. But I feel like with more practice I could get better. Right? Right!

[QUOTE=PrimalFocus;899894]Fascinating, the last two posts are almost opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of experience as it relates to weight loss and fasting.[/QUOTE]
Not all fasting is created equal. If you are following the eating window protocol, think ( 16/8 ) you are basically cycling glycogen. It takes you about 24 - 28 hours to go through the body's glycogen store and then you transition into full bore lipolysis for the duration of your fat store. There is some proteolytic gluconeogenesis going on in there as you make the transition, but it is unclear from what substrate that is ( it seems to be BCAAs that are part of the cellular cytosol )
All of this is to say that if you follow a lean gains protocol with a 16 hour fast / 8 hour eating window, or an alternating day fast protocol, or a consecutive 48 hour fast, you are doing very different things metabolically. Note that an ADF approach has you fasting 3 days a week, effectively. It should go without saying that a 3 day fast followed by 4 days of eating is a dramatically different thing from ADF.
It also needs to be said that caloric intake is still relevant, whether fasting or not. If you tell me that you are fasting yet not losing much weight ... then the answer must be in what and how much you are eating.

The debate in Trenton has sparked lively debate in the NJ.com community about the early effects of the budget proposal on municipalities.
From NJ.com member idiotalert:
Let's see. Our local school district has frozen salaries, cut all after-school programs, cut all counselors, brought class sizes up to an average of 30 students by letting all of the non-tenured teachers go, and our taxes are going up. Exactly how is this not worse?
Respond to this comment by going straight to its page in the article
And from north1:
Nice job Christie !!!! This is a good thing to force towns, counties and schools to spend less. There is no need to raise taxes. There is so much waste. I only hope that Christie eliminates the forced mandates so these departmnets can do what is necessary.

WASHINGTONVILLE - Village council approved the first reading on an ordinance aimed at controlling noxious weeds and vegetation during Monday's meeting.
"The people need to know we are trying to clean things up," Mayor Will Jones said.
The vote was unanimous at 6-0 on the ordinance which calls for a 10-day notification or cessation period before a $100 fine can be levied if the resident is convicted and fails to act.
Each day afterward is considered a separate offense with the fines not to be more than $100 each day.
In other business, council discussed the unloading noise from roll-off trash containers during disallowed hours at the Aarrow Disposal lot.
Assistant Police Chief Mark Husk mentioned receiving a complaint during his report. The village ordinance says trash trucks are allowed in the village between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The rolloffs are dropped off between 9 and 10 p.m.
Councilman Jim Smith said, "Those ordinances were generated to control the noise between those hours" and Jones said, "We'll have to get those ordinances back up ... it includes those hours."
Councilwoman Theresa Allison pointed out "that's a busy corner" where the trash containers are kept and Husk said they "bang around and make a lot of noise."
Jones said, "Let me talk to them and I'll get back to you."
Husk concluded his report by suggesting anyone going on vacation advise police "so we can keep an eye" on the residence.
Allison asked Husk about vehicles with expired license plates on them and Husk acknowledged "there are quite a few ... the problem is I need to find a village ordinance to keep the fines within the village.
"We can us the ORC (Ohio Revised Code) but you're not going to see anything from it. If you can find it (village ordinance), we'll use it ... there's one place with three cars there with out-of-date plates."
In other business, council set Trick or Treat for 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 31 with a costume contest party preceding it in the community building from 5 to 6 p.m.
Jones said there will be a hot dogs and refreshments during the costume contest.
Council had discussed holding trick or treat at the same time as Leetonia but Allison wondered why they had to do it on the same day.
Councilwoman Laura Trummer pushed to have council set a date and time.
"I say have it on the 31st. It makes sense to me," she said in calling for a decision.
Council also approved a 60-cents an hour raise for Utilities Superintendent Brian Gudat who has worked for the village since January of 1993. It was his first raise in four years and brings his pay to $19.60 an hour and will be effective on Oct. 5.
Councilwoman Becky Vignon asked where the village stood regarding oil and gas leases of its property and Jones said he spoke briefly to Terry May, the president of Leetonia Shale LLC and wanted him to attend a council meeting.
Jones told council he would "get on that tomorrow."
Leetonia Shale will hold an open meeting for people interested in signing up their property for oil and gas leasing at 1 p.m. on Oct. 13 in the Leetonia High School.

Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) today announced that Steve Luczo, president, CEO and chairman of Seagate has been named one of Fortune Magazine's top Businesspersons of the Year for 2012. This prestigious annual ranking honors the top performing leaders across multiple industries.
Selections were made from a variety of factors, including financial results, stock performance and market value of the company, as well as strategic savvy, the ability to gracefully steer a very large organization, risk taking, and cultural significance.
One of only a handful of Silicon Valley leaders on the list, Luczo was honored alongside luminaries such as Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Tim Cook of Apple, Larry Page of Google, Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway, Oh-Hyun Kwon of Samsung, Larry Ellison of Oracle and Ginni Rometty of IBM. Of Luczo, Fortune said, "Luczo took over a company with declining market share, rising costs, and massive debt. Fast forward to 2012: Seagate has achieved record revenues and profits and has regained its position as the largest hard disk manufacturer in the world."
"This is clearly a tremendous honor that also recognizes the thousands of employees at Seagate who have dedicated themselves to helping Seagate become one of the best technology companies in the world," said Steve Luczo. "This recognition reflects our commitment to deliver the best products and services in the storage industry."

Ask Nelson a Question
How to Prevent Problems on Your Worship Team
Jason Hatley here… Pastor of Worship Arts @ The Journey and Founder of www.WorshipLeaderInsights.com.
Just a couple of Friday nights ago I had the great pleasure of hosting the New Season Kick-off for the Fall season of our Worship Arts Team.
New Season Kick-off is twice-a-year event for everyone on our Worship Arts Team.
We come together before the start of a new season to:
- Communicate the vision and values of our team,
- Commit to the expectations of our team,
- Celebrate the preceding season
- Define the Development process for each person serving on on our team.
It's a fun event… but it's also critical to the health and growth of our Worship Arts Team.
In fact, I have hosted over 20 of these events in the last 10 years of ministry at The Journey.
The reason is simple . . .
Agreements prevent Disagreements.
Here's what I mean:
I've found that most problems on a Worship Team are a result of confusion. Over a value, expectation, rehearsal standard . . . you name it.
Oftentimes, however, the problem doesn't lie in the team member, but in you and I as the leader.
They don't know what you haven't clearly communicated.
For example, if becoming a Church Member is important for your team (like it is for mine), then do the members of your team know that?
Do they understand the importance, expectation and timeline for becoming a Church Member?
Do they know that if they decide not to become a member that will hinder their ability to serve on the team (i.e. – they'll have to take a break until they do become a member)?
For most of us . . . the answer is "I don't know".
A member of your team can only be held accountable for those things that you have clearly communicated AND gotten agreement on.
For some worship leaders, clearly communicating values and expectations is the problem. You may have considered some values and expectations, but haven't written them down in a way that you can clearly share them with your team. Remember – they can't read your mind!
For others, you may have clarity on your values and expectations and may even communicate them to your team, but you haven't gotten agreement with everyone on them.
For example, everyone knows it's important to show up prepared and on time for rehearsal, but some people still never do.
It's both clear communication and team member agreement that are needed.
And that's what New Season Kick-off does for our team. Sure it's a lot of fun getting together with our team, and sure it's an important time to share vision and inspire them for the next season of ministry, but it is imperative that we regularly communicate and get agreement on the values and expectations of our team so our team members know how to succeed!
In my How to Double Your Worship Team in a Day seminar, I go in-depth about exactly how to plan and hold your own New Season Kick-off (and I even give you my notes and an mp3 of me teaching it to our team at The Journey).
But if you haven't yet had a chance to download that resource, let me share with you a few quick pointers for how to get started:
#1 – Make it a requirement for your entire team (not just the new people). It doesn't matter if they have been once or ten times, it's a requirement for everyone.
#2 – Treat it like Spring Training. Go over the basics, remind your team why you do what you do and help them understand how to succeed on the team.
#3 – Provide a written covenant for them to sign. One of the best ways to get agreement on what it means to serve on your team is to provide a covenant for your team members to sign. By doing so they are saying, "I'm going to do my best to live out these commitments this season."
(By the way – I give you our Worship Arts Team Covenant in the How To Double Your Worship Team resource, too!).
Hold this training at least twice a year and watch as the commitment of your team members goes up, while your disagreements and problems go down.
Your partner in ministry,
P.S. There's a lot more to the New Season Kick-off Strategy than I can write here.
You can learn all the nuts and bolts in my How to Double Your Worship Team in a Day resource.

So with my primal love has come a love for squats, and moar squats!
Unfortunately I can't achieve proper form, once I get past say, 30 degrees ABOVE parallel. Which is a pretty poor squat. I stretch my hammies, ankles, hips etc, I'd love to be able to do a proper deep back squat one day.
In the meantime, i've been doing goblet squats, wider stance, toes pointing out etc. My form here seems ok - are they are reasonable replacement for a regular squat?
Also, will they gradually help with flexibility problem areas? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Buck Shelford's visit to Christchurch was a morale boost for some Marmite fans when he arrived at their homes with jars of Marmite specially signed by him. The Rebuild Christchurch Foundation, which works with earthquake affected people, identified some families to be the lucky recipients of a visit from the former All Black captain in their homes on the 6th of March.
Sanitarium General Manager, Pierre van Heerden, accompanied Buck as he visited several of the families to deliver Marmite produced at Sanitarium's newly strengthened factory in Christchurch.
"It's fitting that the first jars of Marmite go to Christchurch families directly impacted by the earthquakes," said van Heerden. "These jars are a symbol of Christchurch's rebuilding and resilience."
Buck Shelford and Pierre van Heerden (Sanitarium General Manager) delivering some of the first jars of Marmite to Kathy Landreth and her family.
Buck also visited and toured the Marmite factory, even helping to pack and stack pallets of Marmite for distribution across the nation.
"I am really pleased to be involved in bringing Marmite back to the nation," said Buck Shelford. "The families impacted by the quakes really deserve to get the first jars off the production line."
Deon Swiggs from the Rebuild Christchurch Foundation says this positive initiative from Sanitarium has given a lift to some families who are still struggling due to earthquake related issues. Over the next week the Rebuild Christchurch Foundation will deliver further jars of Marmite to selected families in Christchurch.
Marmite returns to supermarket shelves across New Zealand on March 20.

Dustin Wax put together a fun essay about his "lousy" guitar playing skills and why he wouldn't give up guitar playing for the world.
Basically, he finds that even though he's no Hendrix, he gets a lot of benefit from playing.
Sort of like me and my Photoshop skills. I have no eye for such things, but I can lose myself for hours tweaking images and experimenting withfilters.
I'm a crappy guitarist. In the 20 years that I've been playing, I can't once remember playing scales, and I've never sat down to "practice". I still have trouble with F-chords, I have awful right-hand technique, and my tempo has been known to swing from too fast to too slow without ever hitting "just right".
…to this day my guitar is the one thing I own that I would consider going into a burning building for. Playing guitar has stopped being something I do for everyone else (even if they weren't listening) and has become one of the few things I do simply for the sheer enjoyment of it.
8 Good Reasons to Be a Lousy Musician
So before you throw out that old guitar, tennis racket or yoga mat. Remember, being the best isn't everything. If you like it, keep at it anyway. There are fringe benefits to be had.

Timing is everything. It is true for sports, for playing the stock market, for purchasing a home, for making any major decision in life.
Split seconds can mean the difference between success and failure. Let's look at the recent Olympics in China, where some contests were won by mere hundredths of a second. Then think about a Major League Baseball game in which an outfielder misses catching a game-winning out by a nanosecond.
Athletes will relive those moments over and over again, wondering the proverbial question: What if? How many of us also have had those "what-if" questions plague us in life?
Article Photos
Heather Goodwin Henline
Sometimes, as parents, we play the What If game. The only reason we do so is that we want the best for our children. I know I'm guilty of dreaming big for my two sons, Johnny, 9, and Bobby, 6. I always question whether I am doing enough as a mother to ensure their success in life. I want them to thrive on spiritual, physical, intellectual and creative levels.
The boys are at different ages and stages, so I'm always wondering when to hold on and when to let go. Johnny recently went on his second sleepover at the home of his neighborhood friends. They spent the night in a tent outside, and I watched as he seemed to grow up before my eyes.
"Mom, stop fussing over me," he said as I?packed his bag, making sure he had enough warm clothes in case the night turned chilly.
"I'm fine. I'll be fine. Just let me go," he said as he tried to rush out the door.
So, I did the only thing I?could. I kissed his cheek, gave him my husband's cell phone to call home if he needed or wanted to and I let him go.
Later, I filled a large basket with a bunch of different treats, snack foods and bottles of root beer. Every campout needs, goodies, right?
My husband said I?had packed enough munchies for a dozen kids rather than just three - Johnny and his two friends - but I?felt comforted by preparing that basket for the boys. I still felt useful and needed as a mom.
Though Johnny still has a long way to go before he reaches adulthood, I?find that he needs me in different ways as he gets older. Gone are the nights when I?sang him to sleep or read him stories.
Now, I count down the days to when his little brother no longer will want that part of his bedtime routine. I've spent almost the past decade making up lullabies, telling stories and patting little backs to sleep. I don't know what I'll do when Bobby someday tells me, "Mom, stop fussing over me ... just let me go."
I know it will come. Part of me faces it with dread. (OK, 99.9 percent of me does.) But there is that other part that knows it means I?have done well as a mother, and I?have prepared the boys for the outside world.
I want them to grow into strong, confident young men who can take care of themselves. That's what good moms are supposed to do.
And so, it was with that in mind that I watched Bobby earlier this week take off on his bike, the last of his training wheels removed. My husband had taken them off, one at a time.
Bobby suddenly was ready to go solo, he said. He was ready for the second, and last, training wheel to go by the wayside. My husband, Lance, got out his tools and unscrewed the training wheel. They called me outside just as Bobby was getting ready to take off.
My first instinct was to reach out and grab the bike, to run along with Bobby on his inaugural ride. I didn't want to see him fall and get hurt. Without me having to say a word, my husband reassured me that Bobby could do it.
"Look at him go," Lance said.
And so I stood on the front path leading up to our porch and watched in amazement. My little man took off like lightening. He peddled for all he was worth, his little legs - miniature versions of his daddy's - pumping feverishly.
Before, I could blink, Bobby was down our driveway and doing a circle in the road.
"Mommy, did you see me?" he called, a smile stretching from ear to cute, little ear.
"I sure did," I told him. "I watched you go. What a great job," I?said as my eyes began to glisten.
I turned around and savored the moment. For Bobby, he always will remember the day he rode his bike without training wheels. For me, I always will remember the day, when in a mere instant, I decided to let him try it without holding on.
Like I said, timing is everything.

Nah, peeked, but I am still dropping weight. wtf.
I was not feeling great, doctor thinks I overexercised my leg and my balance is off, so dizzy/tired. No breakages of W30 rules for me per se, but very scattered eating, nuts, fruit. Even had a couple of eggs, and the wrist immediately responded to it (so, yeah, I am still sensitive to eggs). Finally yesterday afternoon, I fried a bunch of liver, will be trying to eat a bit more food food. And not going to the gym this week. At least I have enough strength in the ankle to do gentle yoga, but yikes, sooo tight!
Also took my baby to the pool on Sat, we had a good time, but still can't swim properly.
I am getting tired of not being able to do thing properly. Apart from the gaming. I am discovering the rare pleasure of playing with my wee one. She calls the ship Ebon Talk, that's a good one for a 7 yo, lol.
Interestingly, I accidentally made the game very focused on Atton this weekend. I didn't know where the PC was (duh), so Atton and Bao Dur cleared out the GOTO yacht by themselves, and then I sent Atton on the Dxun mission with the other two boys as a back up. It worked great with his back-story, but disappointingly no in-game acknowledgments of the trust/issues etc. Sith dialogue with him was to the point, again, fit well, but could have been a bit more character-specific, gods see the Jedi I meet are not shy about the walls of dialogue. Could have wasted a few lines on the NPCs enrichment. PC responses badly need a bit of humor as well, let alone romance. Atton jokingly asks my PC about the vacation on Onderon (while he was at Dxun), and all I could do is humorously report on the political situation....
The Disciple's Kreia sequence is second to none. I assume that Handmaiden gets that same dialogues in a male run? It is very good. Kreia better not be Revan, darn it, I'll be very annoyed.
After Atton poured his little heart out to Mira he's just met (incidentally, I really doubt Mira can knock out a man even when he is distracted, my advice to her would be hit in the nuts, not go for the chin with the right hook), I got seriously concerned with Obsidian's fixation on presenting FPC Romantic Interest as having personal hygiene issues. It works with Bishop's backstory, I grant you that, a homeless orphan who survived in the wilderness, but what's with Atton? Clinical depression signs? But if it was a conscious strategy to make a player to feel for the guy, because everybody and their dog keeps picking on him, well, it's working. I am missing the: "Listen up. Today, no-one calls Atton a fool. Or an idiot. Okay?"

The Philadelphia Flyers are on the outside looking in with just nine regular-season games remaining following Tuesday's action.
The Orange and Black are presently five points back of the New York Rangers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference following their 4-1 setback to the New York Islanders. What's worse, there are three other teams currently standing between Philly and the East's final playoff berth.
But there's still hope in the City of Brotherly Love as the Flyers rebounded from a four-game losing skid in late March by claiming four of their last six contests overall, including signature victories over Eastern Conference powers Boston and Montreal.
The math is still feasible but Philadelphia will need a number of things to go its way if the Flyers hope to play beyond April.
Here are five keys to Philly finding a way to sneak into the playoffs.

HP TouchPad: One Woman's Quest to Own the Discontinued Tablet
If you've checked in with technology trends at all in the past week, you've probably noticed the huge blow up surrounding the HP TouchPad. Within the span of just six weeks, this little tablet has gone from shiny, new toy, to discontinued, to every techie's must-have.
What in the world has HP done to generate so much buzz? Let's recap.
Background Information:
I own an iPod Touch and an iPhone. I love Apple products with touch screens. Actually, I love anything with a touch screen. I practically salivate over the thought of one day saving enough pennies to afford an iPad. And yes, it has a whole lot to do with Star Trek's handheld PADDs.
Four Weeks Ago:
I saw commercials for the HP TouchPad featuring comedian Russell Brand and actress Lea Michele. The fact that Lea Michele was singing about it was enough to sell me on the tablet. Score one for HP's marketing department.
I didn't have the money for either model, but I decided to research it anyway. I was instantly drawn to the app "stacking" feature, dual core processor, and large screen. For once, I wanted a non-Apple handheld device. But the fact that it was still just as expensive as an iPad kept me from doing anything more than want.
Two Weeks Ago:
HP announced that they would permanently cut the prices on their TouchPads by $100: a lower price than the iPad. But, I still don't have $400 to spend on the 16GB model.
One Week Ago:
HP realizes that they haven't sold that many TouchPads, and faster than you can say Polaroid, they decide that it's time they discontinue their short-lived tablet. I kept hoping that HP would just keep clipping off $100 here and there and soon I'd be able to afford the 16GB version at around $200 or $250.
I mourned in my cubicle.
Last Weekend:
While I assumed that the HP TouchPad was dead and retailers would soon start peddling the unsold models for scrap, apparently HP had a different idea. HP dropped their tablet prices to $99 for 16GB and $149 for 32GB and instantly started a craze that hasn't been seen since the Tickle Me Elmo debacle of '96.
Of course, I didn't stumble onto this discovery until an hour or so after HP's fire sale. Desperate to get my hands on one of these cheap tablets, I scoured the internet until I found that Newegg.com still had stock. I called their customer service line and was told that Newegg's management was still deciding whether they would drop their prices or not. I spent the rest of my weekend reloading the product page on my iPhone browser.
This Week:
I made peace with the fact that an HP TouchPad would never be mine. So to focus my lamenting, I decided to research the phenomenon for a blog about pricing or supply and demand.
I found that there were still retailers sitting on their stock: they hadn't shipped it back to HP, but they hadn't cut the price either. PC World had a few suggestions for where to look, but many sites said to just search #touchpad on Twitter.
The Twitter search worked and directed me to TigerDirect.com. I opened up the site in multiple browsers and desperately willed the product pages to load. After countless error messages, time outs, and all-out denials, I finally had an order process for a 32GB TouchPad.
I was excited, but I didn't want to get my hopes up. The Twitter stream for #touchpad was full of disgruntled customers that received order confirmations from Barnes & Noble and UK retailers, only to find out 16 hours later that there wasn't enough stock.
But then, the next morning, I awoke to the beautiful e-mail:
It shipped. It's going to be mine. The long process of waiting, mourning, and refreshing is over.
But Mandy, now I need it!
For those of you still looking to get your hands on an HP TouchPad, I really wish that I had insider information. I'm well aware that my acquisition of the TouchPad is sheer and utter luck. All I can offer is searching for #touchpad on Twitter and frequently checking on the official HP store.
HP claims to be releasing more tablets for sale this week. This is because many retailers decided to ship their stock back to HP for distribution instead of dealing with the fire sale hot mess themselves. And really, who could blame them?
What now for the TouchPad?
Some are calling for HP to continue manufacturing the tablet, saying that if they find the right price point, they could create actual competition with Apple; some are toasting to Apple's continued success; and some couldn't care less.
One thing's for sure: consumers want access to low-cost, high-quality tablets. So once somebody figures out how to provide that, Apple might see some real rivalry on the tablet market. Well, not if they sue the competition first.
Did you get swept up in the HP TouchPad madness? Are you interested in owning a tablet? If so, are you considering anything but an iPad?

I'm going with a quote from some random guy on twitter:
"This morning I had no idea what a touchpad was, now my life is incomplete
without one."
That just about sums it up. Someday soon it will be mine… right after my back order of Tickle Me Elmo finally ships.
HP's site actually says "Coming soon" now, so it's only a matter of time…
Jeff–that is one awesome quote you found!
Mandy–this is one awesome blog you wrote!
It's so crazy to me how quick these bombed out—if they would have started $100 or so cheaper than the Ipad, I think they would have had a chance. But at this price point, and if they work like they should–this sounds like a great purchase! I think I might want one…… 😉
Even at $200/$250, the tablet probably could've been competitive. I know that not everyone would rush to own one at that price, but I probably would've – it's still vastly cheaper than the iPad. And I love their app stacking feature instead of returning to the home screen every single time I want to switch applications.
Congratulations on purchasing what is literally no more than a $100.00 touch screen alarm clock! 🙂
With no further developer support or support from HP these things are basically a waste of space.
I just feel sorry for the poor jokers who bought one of these for full price last month. Talk about frustrating!
I'm probably going to update it with Android's upcoming Touchdroid OS. For that gorgeous hardware and Android's operating system? I can't lose.
Ok; now I'm jealous.
Excellent post Mandy! Reading it I could tell how much you wanted this TouchPad and how far you were willing to go to search. +1 for your awesome motivation!
I like the idea of tablets and if someone would like to give me one, sure I'd be interested in owning it. However, I don't like the price tag on a lot of them so it keeps my interest pretty low right now. I've been a little anti-Apple lately so I'm rooting for the underdogs on the tablet market!!
My TouchPad and I are very happy. 🙂
The price tag was honestly the only thing keeping me from a tablet – and after this fire sale, it's clear that a whole bunch of other people felt the same way.
Maybe in another year or so someone will release a nice tablet for a lower price tag.
iPad is king 🙂
And all the sales agree with you. 🙂
I gotta agree w/Bret on this w/HP pretty much scraping a lot of their divisions including their tablet and as a person who knows the frustration from updating PC's from Windows to Linux making sure that hardware works w/a different OS is frustrating. Finding out that others have the same problem, that no one is working on drivers for hardware. Sorry I will just wait for the Android tablets to drop in price. I will admit though I was salivating at the opportunity of owning one of the HP tablets, but my sour grapes came up w/this reasoning for me.
"I didn't want one anyway!!!" :'-|
I've been salivating over the opportunity to own any kind of tablet. So at that price, I couldn't help myself. With HP supporting it for a year and the Android OS on the horizon, I can happily check my e-mail and surf the web until then.
And I have said it once I will say it again… Star Trek is set in the 24th century, why are they still using "pad" technology!?!?! >:-<
It's the same debate as why there aren't holodecks in the original series. Writers can only guess about how technology will develop that far into the future.
Thanks for the timeline on this whole thing! I wonder where the right price point for the TouchPad is … clearly its original $500 price was too high, but $99 is too low, since they clearly can't keep up with that kind of demand. If HP does decide to manufacture more of the TouchPads, I'll be curious to see where they set the price for it.
People are guesstimating about $200/$250. However, HP would still producing at a loss, so if they found a few ways to cut cost while keep the quality, they might have a second chance at the tablet game.
Mandy, this is a wonderfully triumphant story. I'm so glad everything worked out for you!
I really wanted an iPad for like ummm 10 minutes or so, until I was told how much they were. I'm not willing to spend $500+ on a big iPod Touch. But I would totally buy an HP Touchpad for $99 or $149. I hope I can get one, but if I don't it's not a big deal. Something better is just around the corner 🙂
Me too! Though I have some people I'm following on Google+ that said they managed to get their hands on four or five! What were they doing right to score so many?
I hope that there will be a lot of competition of high-quality tablets to drive down the price. Otherwise, Apple will just dominate the tablet industry like the MP3 player industry. You could get a cheap MP3 player from someone else…but nobody does.
I see what you're saying Jen, and I agree. I've also thought about buying a nice iPod and skipping the monthly fee of getting a smartphone–makes sense to me. I've heard most people love them!
I have an iPhone and honestly don't see the point of having a tablet computer too…maybe I'm missing something?
For me, I wanted/enjoy a tablet because I wanted a bigger screen for reading e-mail, surfing the internet, etc. without buying a laptop.
I love everything about my iPhone, but I do get sick of reading text-heavy webpages on the smaller screen.
I've suddenly become very, very, VERY tempted to hunt one of these down, Mandy. Way to be persuasive! 😉
After reading the bazillion-or-so articles online about HP's firesale, I'm admittedly intrigued. A $100-$150 tablet? Umm, yes please!
The one thing that's ultimately going to keep me from getting an HP Touchpad, however, is its impending lack of support. If it doesn't have a solid and updated OS (beyond the TouchDroid app, I mean), then I just can't see myself dropping the extra cash — even though I really, REALLY want to.
It's up to each individual how they feel, of course. As a needy techie and chronic impulse buyer, I couldn't help myself.
I'm finding justification in articles like these:
Let me start off by saying, I have no desire for a tablet…
But $150 for a 32GB TouchPad??? O_O
Congrats on the find, Mandy. I do believe I am envious.
You're not the only one to be swayed by the price tag, Kyle! Lots of people that never wanted to own a tablet before are suddenly finding themselves in a craze to get one!
If anyone can score TWELVE of these; I'll buy one for everyone on the 726 side of the office (at $100.00 ea.).
Challenge accepted.
Whoa! I'll also accept this search and find challenge! Bret is the man! Ok, Mandy the search is on!!!! =)
I, unfortunately, don't have a specific answer for you, Jill. While WebOS' future is still all up in the air, nobody has said much more about the Touchdroid OS than "WE ARE GONNA DO IT." I think we'll have to wait a few more weeks to see what will happen with the different operating systems before we get specifics on support.

It's A Boy! But You Already Knew ThatMonica Bielanko
So The Cramp from yesterday persists. Today I was going to tell you a story about pre-doctor appointment razor burn in an unfortunate location and my attempt to utilize Butt Paste to remedy the situation but… I think I'll save that for tomorrow.
Today? Links!
This post from my Babble buddy Danielle reminded me that I forgot to tell you about the day we found out we were having a son. Or did I? Hell, I can't remember what I had for breakfast, let alone whether I told you about The Big Ultrasound. Except, yes. Yes I can. Two plates of tortilla chips liberally sprinkled with sharp cheddar cheese and a healthy dose of hot sauce. And sour cream. And a little verde to balance out the hot sauce. Still. I can't remember if I told you the story of the ultrasound and it seems like a fairly important story to pass along on a website dedicated to Being Pregnant.
Except instead of writing about it here, I'm just going to go ahead and link you over to my personal blog. BAM.
And because he's a much better writer than I could ever dream of being, here's a little something my husband, Serge, wrote.
If you're a Babble fan, and I hope that you are because they seem to like me or at the very least are tolerating me for the time being, you may be familiar with Katie Granju. As she has bravely chronicled, she lost her son Henry earlier this year. I tell you this to clarify a few things in Serge's post and to introduce you to Katie and her stellar parenting insight, if you don't already know her.
She lost a son and I am gaining one and the world doesn't make sense a lot of the time, but my husband has such a way with words that sometimes it seems like everything's gonna be alright anyway.
Meet back here tomorrow? See you then.

text: Researchers at Rutgers University have developed biocompatible polymers that degrade into nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. For example, the reaction of two equivalents of benzyl salicylate and one equivalent of sebacoyl chloride forms a poly(anhydride ester) called PolyAspirin, which hydrolyzes to salicylic acid (an anti-inflammatory agent) and sebacic acid, which is excreted. This technology can perhaps be used for localized drug delivery at specific sites of injury. What is the structure of PolyAspirin?

December 27, 1999
In November, four new councilmembers were elected: Cindy Honcoop, Bob Banderra, Dick Paylor, and Tim Olsen. As City Manager Jim Thompson pointed out, adding four new councilmembers represents a majority transfusion of new blood into the seven-member Council. The Council will choose a new mayor in January after the four new members assume their positions. Noblet has expressed interest in the job.
The new Public Safety Building was dedicated on Aug. 12, and construction began the next week. The new "cop shop" will be located directly east of the existing City Hall on 101st NE. The new location will "bring the Bothell Police Dept. home" to downtown Bothell after several years of "exile" in the North Creek Business Park, just east of I-405.
The City of Bothell also saw major changes in key administrative positions this year, starting with the hiring of Jim Thompson as City Manager. Finance Director Ilene Frisch and Director of Public Improvements John Medina were also hired in 1999.
Bothell Parks Dept. got a big boost in 1999 with a major makeover of the Bothell Landing waterfront park started last summer, and upgrades to Stipek Park.
The completion of the North Creek Parkway bridge and widening of SE 228th was a major upgrade for the Snohomish County side of Bothell.
Other big stories that originated in Bothell but affected all Northshore citizens included: the one-day walkout by Northshore School District teachers, who joined most other state districts in marching on Olympia in April to demand equitable pay and benefit increases from the legislature; the selection of Ann Swain as Northshore School District Teacher of the Year; several city-state sponsored workshops encouraged citizen input on the best solutions to the traffic snarls at the Beardslee Blvd.-NE 195th intersection at I-405, which will soon intensify with the opening of UW/CCC and the Hilton Hotel. Bothell youngsters played a major role in opening the new skateboard park.
Before I-695 reared its ugly head, Kenmore was bursting with joyful pride and hope for the future during the city's first birthday street party last Aug. 29. The party featured two parades, food booths, and live bands.
The City Council election featured only one contested race, in which Marcia Schwendiman easily out-polled Steven Gimurtu in the Nov. 2 election.
Major loggerheads between County Executive Ron Sims and the County Council over how to best relieve Northshore's wastewater overflow problems brought Kenmore and Lake Forest Park city councils into the tug-of-war. Northshore County Councilmember Maggi Fimia agreed with Council Chair Louise Miller and Councilmember Rob McKenna that an additional pipeline to the West Point Treatment Center would be the best stop-gap solution until the third plant could be built somewhere in north King County or south Snohomish County in 2010. Both local councils agreed, despite Sims' offer of county financial aid to various city projects, if they would side with him. Sims pushed for building an additional holding tank near Kenmore until the third treatment plant is built. Sims and the Council finally reached a compromise this month, agreeing with Sims' plan for the temporary holding tank, while including the Council's idea of running another pipe from there to the Matthews Beach pumping station.
When a citizen-initiated lawsuit successfully challenged King County's ruling to relax intersection guidelines, the Lakepointe project was indefinitely halted. Another hearing in January will determine whether or not the developer has found a successful mitigation plan to avoid clogging the 68th NE and SR-522 intersection.
The final design for Woodinville's new City Hall.
Wilmot Park became Woodinville's public facility opened for public use, when the city had its grand opening on May 22, one of the few hot, dry days before August. The new park features over $100,000 of playground equipment for small children. The park honors the late Jerry Wilmot, former Chamber of Commerce Director, Molbak's president, a triathlete and fighter pilot.
"Soaring to Scotland" was the theme that rang from all of Woodinville's hills and throughout the Sammamish Valley. The Woodinville High School drama club made the trek of a lifetime when they were one of only two western U.S. high schools invited to perform at the world-reknowned International Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. After drama students spent months of fund-raising, drama teacher Hjalmer Anderson directed the troupe in several performances of Oklahoma! at the festival in mid-August. Their success hinged on how many people attended their performances, especially the second, after the initial media review. All performances were packed.
The hirings of City Manager Pete Rose and Public Works Director Mick Monken have resulted in dramatic changes in Woodinville. For one, the "dynamic duo" have set a tone of positive cooperation in City Hall that has people actually wanting to get hired by the city, rather than many staff members jumping ship, as happened in years past. Rose said the city's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2000 "set up the most productive project plan to date, with numerous facility improvements to be built next year." Rose already added a major notch in his gun this year, when he broke a longstanding stalemate by negotiating the Sorenson purchase from the Northshore School District.
He and Monken have overseen completion of the Woodinville-Duvall Rd. improvement project, and installation of a safer signal and crosswalk at the south end of Wilmot Park. They have installed traffic sensors to improve the major bottleneck at 131st Ave. NE and NE 175th St.; and plans are close to finalization for improving the bottleneck at the "South Gateway" intersection, commonly called the "Hollywood" intersection. A signal interconnect system along NE 175th, being installed this month, promises better traffic flow along Woodinville's most constantly-clogged arterial.
City staff also helped organize and carry out the Sammamish ReLeaf project, clearing and planting 1,000 feet of the west side of the river, south of Wilmot Park. Under the new regime, city staff, working with the Tree Board, established new guidelines for residential tree requirements.
Rose also organized several public hearings this year, including one that ended with the City voting to ban all fireworks within city limits.
Cottage Lake Park opened on May 28, thanks largely to the persistent efforts of the Upper Bear Creek Community Council and County Council Chair Louise Miller, a Cottage Lake resident. The former Norm's Resort now features a swimming beach and play area for kids, a basketball court, and rest rooms.
