I often get asked if I do garden designs. I am not a professional designer and have not been trained in garden design. Like most gardeners, I plant what I like and if I don't like something, it either gets moved to another place in the yard or to a new home in someone else's yard.
Some people have what garden writer and author Allen Lacy calls, "The Gardener's Eye." I was lucky enough to be involved with a gardening message board on a computer network in the late 1980s and early 1990s, at the very beginnings of the Internet and before most people even knew about email. My computer at that time had no hard drive. Programs were stored on five and a quarter-inch floppy discs, which weren't disc-shaped at all but were square and flat and fit into a slot on the computer's base. We used our telephone line to access the network and once connected, could discuss topics with other people who shared our interests.
Lacy, as well as other accomplished gardeners, would answer questions and converse, just as people using message boards do today. The gardener's eye, according to Lacy, "is an artistic vision, an aesthetic experience, a recognition of beauty."
I would compare his description to a person who can sit down to a piano and begin playing music without having had a lesson. They don't necessarily have to be taught, they just know the beauty of what is in front of them and without missing a beat, simply jump in and create a vision.
I do not think I have a gardener's eye. I simply know what I like and it may or may not work or even be what a professional designer would put together. I learned about gardening by doing it and by spending many hours browsing garden centers, reading and rereading my favorite authors, going to seminars and programs presented by professionals and my favorite of all, touring public gardens. My training, with the Ohio State University Extension Master Gardener program consisted of the science of gardening, how-to and hands-on experience as well as where to find information. But it was in my own back yard that I learned more than anything else and I suspect that is the same with most backyard gardeners.
Which is why my answer to the question, do I do garden designs, is generally no, I do not, but if you want to figure out how to plant your own garden, you simply have to just do it.
According to gardener and writer Janet Macunovich in her book, "Design your Gardens and Landscapes," you should first ask yourself a few questions. These include:
"Where have you seen a garden you liked" and "what did you like about it?"
"What are your favorite colors in flowers? Fragrances? What flowers do you especially like or dislike?"
Macunovich also advised looking through magazines at garden pictures and asking yourself what you particularly like or dislike and how do you plan to use that part of the yard where the garden will be?
When I plan a new garden, I also ask myself a few questions that I think are important. The first is the site where the garden will be located. Is it shady, sunny or a combination of both? How is the drainage? Does water accumulate there after a rainstorm or does it drain easily? How much work do I want to do in that garden?
The most often asked question I hear from people isn't where to start a garden or how to get it started, but what exactly should I plant? It can be overwhelming when garden centers are filled with thousands of plants from which to choose.
There isn't just one answer. Everything else has to be considered. What do you like? What are your favorite colors or what plants will enhance the design of your house? Do you like tropical looking plants or desert plants? Are you looking for something low maintenance or do you like puttering around in the garden, deadheading and pulling weeds?
Over the next few weeks, this column will address those questions. Keep reading.

Is Wagah border open now or closed? What to expect?
I want to go to Pakistan overland from Iran. Is here someone who was doing pakistan visa in Iran recently and can share the information? I've read that pakistan visa can be only made in country of your permanent stay, is it true? If someone has a experience in that topic, I'm interesting in few things:
-do I need a letter of invitation for pakistan consulates in Iran
-do I need a booked ticket for leaving Pakistan
-how much does it cost (aproximately)
-how long it take to make a visa.
Hi, I plan on attending a wedding in Lahore in Pakistan in December. A very close friend of mine is getting married. I will travelling over alone and then staying.with her and her family.for 10 days. I am female Irish (blue eyes red hair and extremely white even by our standards) I know this would be the safest way to go.ro Pakistan but I'm.wondering is it safe enough? I'm wondering if I'm letting my love of travelling and exploring cloud my better judgement and of course I want to be at my…
I will be going to Pakistan in December. Will Pakistan Visa cause any problems if I want to enter other countries like Russia or India?
I'm a solo female traveler who will be in Pakistan from the first week of October. I'll be in Chitral for 2 weeks and then I'd like to take a flight from Chitral to Islamabad and then a train on the same day from Islamabd to Lahore. I would have about 4 hours between the flight landing and train departing. would anyone have any information? cross posted, Thanks!
Hey LPers!
My travel companion and I have put together a report on our expenses while in Pakistan, and I thought I'd share the essentials with you since the Lonely Planet for Pakistan is wildly outdated and information is often scarce. The report is based on 6 weeks of backpacking all over Pakistan in June and July 2016. All the prices given are for one person per day.
Where we went: crossed in overland from Iran, headed to Karachi from Quetta, then went all the way to the north to cross into…
I am a guy. I have an Afghan perahan tunban, which I heard apparently is completely different from the shalwar kameez in Pakistan? Would it be better for me to wear the perhan tunban, get a shalwar kameez in Peshawar, or wear western clothes? When buying a shalwar kameez in Pak, what should I consider? (e.g. what is considered conservative, length of drape, baggy or not, etc.)
I want to fly directly into Peshawar, but will not be putting Peshawar on my visa itinerary. Do I need to get a special permit for KPK in advance? Or do I need to get one in Islamabad? If yes to the latter I will have to fly into Islamabad instead...
Is it possible to cross border from Islamabad to Srinagar India?
Any hotel name phone number in Kalash valley. Can car go to Kalash or need hire jeeps to go there! thx Is food hotels open during Eid days there! thx

I like unfiltered ACV or lemon juice in water. I like tea better. Tannic acid vs acetic acid? Any opinions?
I just read the [URL="http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/bbb/73/8/1837/_pdf"]AcOH Japanese study[/URL] , and it really looked interesting.
A few takeaways:
[LIST=1][*]The effects are due to [URL="http://themedicalbiochemistrypage.org/ampk.html"]AMPK phosphorylation[/URL], not loss of water.[*]Effects are dose dependent. Higher doses produce better results.[*]Effects initially manifested after 4 weeks.[/LIST]
[B][U]AMPK Phosphorylation[/U][/B]
AMPK is your best friend, get to know it, you'll get along swimmingly!
[QUOTE]AMPK induces a cascade of events within cells in response to the ever changing energy charge of the cell. The role of AMPK in regulating cellular energy charge places this enzyme at a central control point in maintaining energy homeostasis.[/QUOTE][/INDENT]
AMPK inhibits pancreatic beta cell insulin secretion, as well as inhibiting fatty acid synthesis in the liver and adipose tissue.
AMPK promotes fatty acid oxidation and glucose uptake in both skeletal and heart muscle, as well as promoting increased glycolysis in cardiac muscle.
[B][U]Practical Application[/U][/B]
The experimental protocol called for the AcOH to be drunk after the meals, but I suspect that this was due to a desire to not have the beverage potentially affect the amount of food consumed by the subjects. Because of the mechanism of action of AMPK, it might make more sense to ingest AcOH before meals. Nevertheless, if you want to remain faithful to the experiment, drink a 250 ml. apple vinegar cocktail after breakfast, and another after dinner. The high dose effectively doubled the amount of vinegar ingested from 15 ml. to 30 ml. per day which translated into 750 mg. and 1500 mg. of acetic acid. Keep this up for 4 weeks, and see where that gets you!
I'm game. I like vinegar and this sounds like a fairly painless way to get some results.
Before we all start building shrines to AMPK, there is one thing that I forgot to mention. While AMPK inhibits fatty acid synthesis in adipose tissue, it also inhibits lipolysis, ie the breakdown of triglycerides into free fatty acids. So, if you were to think of AMPK as effectively shutting down adipose tissue, that's would be pretty close to the mark. This effect is a good thing when you are talking about feeding events as it will keep the adipose tissues from assimilating your last meal. This effect is questionable if you are fasting, when the prime directive is to have your adipose tissues release their contents into the blood stream for use as an energy substrate. As there are lots of hormonal changes that are going on while fasting, it is unclear what the net effect of fasting and drinking vinegar would be. However, if you stick to the protocol of only drinking vinegar with your meals, that should present no issues.
i think raw ACV tastes good....i put it on all canned seafood i eat. my mom did it growing up. everytime we had tuna/salmon or some canned fish there was always ACV in it. its really good :) i dunno about any health claims for it, just its tasty
Back in 1968 I was passing some time in a big town called Caribou, Maine with a friend that went through some service time with me. (He said that they changed the population sign every time he went home or left.) One thing that I learned up there was to take a glass of half apple cider vinegar and half honey every day. Been doing that since then and haven't had a cold, the flu, a fever, etc. etc. . I won't tell you that it will cure all your ills, but I won't give it up either.
Melody: re; your love of anything fermented. Have you come up with a primal substitute for bourbon?
The glass of water with some apple cider vinegar and a teaspoonful of honey first thing in the morning is an old Amish habit. Helps many things, is my impression.
They no doubt grew their own apples, and some of them probably kept their own bees as well. As a health habit, this one exhibits some good low-cost self-sufficiency.
Malic acid is supposed to help with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, in combination with magnesium. Apples are a rich source of malic acid.
Well, why not have some?

I had to laugh at this quote, same could be said for the small fishing village where I live here on the coast of Maine.
i had a very quick look through that study and it appeared to me that the subjects weren't allowed more than 25mls of alcohol in the test period (which I assumed was 8 weeks) That might explain why they lost weight and body fat. I hate ACV (I hate apples actually, I cant even stand being in the same room as someone eating one, the smell makes me gag) but I might seriously consider it if it meant I'd drop some fatty bits round my middle :)

MARTINSBURG - A man severely injured in a four-vehicle accident Friday in Martinsburg subsequently died at City Hospital, police announced Tuesday.
On Friday, at approximately 12:04 p.m., Cpl. J.B. Flanigan, Trooper D.W. Satterfield, Trooper M.W. Kennedy and Sgt. L.A. Faircloth responded to a four-vehicle accident on Edwin Miller Boulevard at the intersection with Lutz Avenue.
The accident resulted in the death of Gary J. Gregory, 70, of Martinsburg, police said.
It was determined that the vehicle at fault, a red 1999 GMC Sonoma truck, was attempting to turn west onto Edwin Miller Boulevard from Lutz Avenue.
The diver of the truck, Gregory, failed to yield the right of way and pulled into the oncoming path of a blue 2004 Chevrolet Silverado driven by 45-year-old Dean Files, of Martinsburg, police said.
The Chevrolet struck the front left quarter panel of the GMC Sonoma. The impact knocked the GMC into the westbound lane of traffic, where it struck a white 2000 Buick Lesabre driven by 83-year-old Jerry Kusnor, of Martinsburg, in the front left quarter panel.
The GMC's momentum carried it west on Edwin Miller Boulevard as a 2006 International box truck driven by 62-year-old Charles Nichols Jr. swerved to try and avoid the collision. The box truck was unable to avoid the collision, and the GMC Sonoma struck the rear right wheel before coming to rest, police said.
Gregory and Kusnor were both trapped inside their vehicles and had to be extricated by fire personnel. Both subjects were transported to City Hospital in Martinsburg, where Gregory was set to be flown out to Inova Fairfax Hospital. Gregory subsequently died in City Hospital's emergency room, police said.
Kusnor's injuries were not life-threatening. Files and Nichols suffered no injuries.

As the madness sports fans call NBA free agency starts to thicken, a couple of Badgers have been part of the buzz. Here we look at some of the changes of address and deals the Wisconsin Alumni have made the past few days.
Jordan Taylor and Brian Butch
Former Badgers' stars Taylor and Butch will be teaming up on the Atlanta Hawks' summer league team. The 2007 UW graduate Butch had a breakout year last season playing in the NBA development league with the Bakersfield Jam. He averaged 15.3 points and 9.8 rebounds in 27.4 minutes per game. Butch had an incredible playoffs, where he averaged an astonishing 13.3 rebounds a game. In a league where centers are coveted, Butch will likely find his way on to an NBA roster, whether it's the Hawks or someone else.
Jordan Taylor's uphill battle towards the NBA continues with a victory in finding himself with a place to play. Taylor declined an offer from the hometown Milwaukee Bucks and jumped on the opportunity to play for the Hawks. Atlanta seemed like a good destination earlier this morning, when they only had one Point Guard on the books for next season. But a veteran Point Guard- and familiar face to Badger nation- was acquired by the Hawks this afternoon. With veterans Jeff Teague and Devin Harris on the Hawks' roster, Taylor will really have to play well to get a spot on the team. If he doesn't make it, he'll likely have more suitors, as many teams were interested in his services.
***more after the jump****
Devin Harris
Former Big Ten player of the year and Badger Point Guard Devin Harris was traded from the Utah Jazz to the Atlanta Hawks this afternoon. He joins the two other Badgers in the Hawks' orginization, though unlike Taylor and Butch, Harris likely has a roster spot saved for him. The last time we saw two Badgers on the same NBA team was in 2004 during Harris' rookie season, when he joined Michael Finley on the Dallas Mavericks. Harris averaged 11.3 points and 5.0 assists a game as the starting Point Guard for the Jazz last season. The former All Star will make 8.5 million dollars on the final year of his contract. After next season he is an unrestricted free agent.
Greg Stiemsma
After having a good comeback year with the Boston Celtics last season, Stiemsma is a free agent this off-season and is looking at destinations for next season. "I'd really love to come back to Boston" Stiemsma said in an interview with the Boston Herald. Stiemsma suffered through plantar fasciitis throughout the season, and is spending the off-season rehabbing his left foot. If all goes well, Stiemsma will be a solid contributer on an NBA roster next season. According to Bloguin's own Crossover Chronicles, Stiemsma met with the Timberwolves today. I'm sure the Wisconsin native would not mind coming back home to play in the midwest. Minnesota and Boston are the two favorites to sign Stiemsma at this point. Because of the need for centers on most NBA teams, Stiemsma will likely make around 3-5 million a year wherever he signs.
With all these former Badgers making splashes in the NBA recently this should give you a good idea of who's where and what's happening. Stay tuned as we could see more Badgers coming from nowhere and making NBA teams, ala Stiemsma 2011.

At Ubidays in Paris last week, Gearbox Software's resident military hard nut Colonel John Antal took to the stage to tell us all why upcoming WW2 shooter Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is full of Hooah. Which is all well and good. But we thought we'd catch up with main man Randy Pitchford to quiz him on the game's delay, differences between the two console versions and making sure the game's authentic enough for Nick, our resident war expert and co-star of The VideoGamer Show.
VideoGamer.com: Still definitely on for an August release?
Randy Pitchford: Yes. We are in baby! We are landing this plane! We're just trying to keep her held together as we come in. We're looking at August. It's looking good. We've got 300-400 issues left in our queue, we're fixing about 200 a week, we're finding about 50. But it's looking good. We are here baby. We finally made it!
VideoGamer.com: How does it feel to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel?
RP: It's awesome and scary as hell! We've been working on this thing for a long time. The guys work so hard and they care. All of us we spend so much time on this stuff. The guys that work on this game they put so much of their hearts and souls in. My greatest wish is that they're gratified by the result. They feel pride, people like what we've all created and we make enough where we can keep going and do another one even better. That's what I wish for.
And the game feels good. It's impossible for me to be objective but from my seat man we've got something special here and I'm really proud of it. I've made a few games in my career so it's starting to get easier for me to predict what's going to happen but you never can. I don't want to be too cocky so I'm scared as hell. You know I'm scared as hell! But I like the fear, it means we're ready.
VideoGamer.com: It's been delayed a few times, what was the primary reason behind that?
RP: The thing is we've never announced a release date. We have a vision that we're trying to build. I understand every time there's been a preview or every time somebody at our great partners at Ubisoft need to communicate with the retailers, and there's always that blank they have to fill in, the release date blank, and they do the best they can to guess based on how we're feeling. And there has been a lot of uncertainty because we've invented a lot in this game. Whenever you're inventing it's like Edison when he came up with the light bulb, he knew that if he ran electricity through that filament that it was going to make light but I'm pretty sure at the beginning he didn't realise it was going to take him 98 prototypes before he figured out exactly how to get it marketable. So we knew what we wanted to do and we knew we could do it but there's been a bit of uncertainty in places where we've invented new technology and new features that really haven't been done before.
And so we've committed to what we wanted to do which means, 'hey, I'm sorry about your fiscal quarter but we're trying to make a game that we want to make'. I love Ubisoft as a partner because they've been so patient with us and so flexible as we've made the game that we really wanted to make.
VideoGamer.com: So it's got nothing to do with the PS3 version then?
RP: Oh no. We've got all three versions in here and they're all looking good. You can play the PS3 version, the 360 and PC version and they're all awesome. The amount of time that we've spent is because we're super committed to doing what we wanted to do and fulfilling our vision. And some percentage of what we were trying to do is hard to predict. But we're landing now so we're good.
VideoGamer.com: Will there be any differences between the versions when it finally comes out?
RP: Yeah there's always differences between each platform. They're the same game. So if you are, say an Xbox 360 gamer you're going to want our 360 version because we've got the Achievements in there, we know what the 360 controller is all about and we're tuned to that, we understand Marketplace and some things we might come with later after it comes out.
If you're a PlayStation gamer you're going to like the PlayStation version better because you like the way the controller feels, you like interfacing with the PlayStation Network and that's going to feel like a more natural experience for you. Same with the PC. When you get online with the multiplayer game on the PC it feels like a PC server browser situation. So each platform respects what each platform is supposed to be. But it's the same game. You're not going to have a totally different game on each platform.

Description: It's blue! It's skinny! It's the Arduino Pro! SparkFun's minimal design approach to Arduino. This is a 3.3V Arduino running the 8MHz bootloader. Because the system voltage for this board is lower than other Arduino development boards, it may not be compatible with many Arduino shields which were designed to run at 5V. The Arduino Pro 3.3V still works great with our prototyping shield so you can create your own 3.3V shields. The lower system voltage also has its advantages, like ease of use with many common 3.3V sensors.
Arduino Pro does not come with connectors populated so that you can solder in any connector or wire with any orientation you need. We recommend first time Arduino users start with the Uno R3. It's a great board that will get you up and running quickly. The Arduino Pro series is meant for users that understand the limitations of system voltage (3.3V), lack of connectors, and USB off board.
To keep things affordable and low profile, we've chosen to make the DC power jack footprint available, but not to populate it. We recommend running the board with a LiPo battery for better portability. Also, to keep the cost low, we made changes like using all SMD components and switching to a two layer PCB.
This board connects directly to the FTDI Basic Breakout board and supports auto-reset. The Arduino Pro also works with the FTDI cable but the FTDI cable does not bring out the DTR pin so the auto-reset feature will not work. In this latest version of the Arduino Pro we've also moved the FTDI headers back just a skoach so that the pins don't hang over the edge of the board. We've also populated it with a sturdier power selection switch.
Not sure which Arduino or Arduino-compatible board is right for you? Check out our Arduino Buying Guide!
Note: A portion of this sale is given back to Arduino LLC to help fund continued development of new tools and new IDE features.
Dimensions: 2.1x2.05" (53.34x52.08mm)
This seems rather obvious with the 5/3.3V silkscreening under the header, but just to be absolutely certain: I can safely program and operate this with a 5V FTDI without risking damage to the board, right? And likewise, if I've got it plugged into my computer over the FTDI cable, the voltage from the I/O pins will be safe for 3.3V devices even if the board itself is running from 5V USB over the FTDI connection?
Sorry, just saw this comment. Yes, the only differences between the 5V and 3.3V are the value of the voltage regulator and the value of the crystal. The ATmega328 is fine with a VCC of either value and the FTDI line is VCC and therefor bypasses the voltage regulator. The only thing that might be iffy is that 3.3V/16MHz is technically out of spec. We actually run boards at that voltage all the time without a problem, but if you starting trying to go lower and run it at 1.8V or something you will likely run into problems.
As for the second part that is not correct. Because the FTDI is connected directly to VCC and does not go through the regulator the chip will be running at 5V and therefor the I/O pins will be running at 5V. Be careful if you do this of powering anything from VCC (which is tied directly to the power from the FTDI) and of anything sensitive to 5V from the I/O pins.
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
Do the mounting holes on the Pro match up to the holes on the original Arduinos? I want a 3v Arduino that can be solidly mounted to a standard shield, but to my eyeballs the holes near the power connector don't match.
If I made custom shields, perhaps I could put both holes in my shield so it would work with either Arduino?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Yes they do. The outline of the Pro is slightly smaller but the mounting holes are in the same place.
When it says "3-12 volt input," does that mean you can power it with 3-12 volts, or that that's the acceptable range for the DC inputs?
Applies to raw power pins (battery / barrel jack) only. Inputs must not exceed VCC.
Personally I'm trying to determine if this is the regulator (rumored in another forum): http://dlnmh9ip6v2uc.cloudfront.net/images/products/10914-01.jpg
I am relattvely new to Arduino. Where do I tell the I/O subsystems that the system clock is 8MHz? Currently I am fudging the baud setting.
When using the Arduino IDE you just need to select the correct board. In this case the Pro Mini 3.3V/8MHz w/ATMega328 option. This board selection tells it what clock setting as well as other things like the actual chip, etc., to use when compiling.
Is it 3.3-12V input or 4-12V input? I have a 3.3V supply. Is that enough to power it?
The board has an OSHW emblem printed on it but the product page seems to be missing it up top? And the 5V version has the opposite: the emblem is listed on the product page but it isn't printed on the board. Just a little confusing…
They are both OSHW boards. Sorry about the confusion. Once we get our system up and running again, we can get this fixed to make it more clear.
I thought the Arduino Day deals were going to allow backorders? Disappointed!
Yes, what is up with that???
They responded on the arduino day thread, technical issue, they're looking into it.
I want to purchase this product, no SPI library? SPI must use this feature ……
.SPI: 10 (SS), 11 (MOSI), 12 (MISO), 13 (SCK). These pins support SPI communication, which, although provided by the underlying hardware, is not currently included in the Arduino language.
Not quite sure where you got that information, but SPI works just fine on these, both from the SPI library, and the serin/serout commands.
LMB Heeger makes a plastic enclosure that works well with this board. Part # PT 101. Perhaps SparkFun should carry them…….
Since this board has the 328, does it have a full 2kB SRAM (as compared to the Pro Mini at 1kB)?
Yes it has 2kB of RAM. But the Pro Mini has the same MPU, so it also has 2kB of RAM…
I take this does not have a battery charger on board?
Also why are all 3.3v arduinos 8mhz, instead of 16?
Nope, no battery charger on this board. The Fio has one though.
If you look at the Atmel datasheets, you'll find a graph in the back with the safe area for voltage vs. clock speed. The lower the voltage, the slower the clock must be to keep everything running correctly. At 3.3V, 16MHz is outside the safe area, but 8MHz is inside it. (Fun fact: you can run a 328 at 1.8V if the clock is 4MHz. The more you know!)
Thanks for the info. I've been looking for "inexpensive", and I want to make a number of boards for my project. I suppose if I'm making my own board, the cheapest thing is to make my own Arduino circuit.
I also want to be able to run off a lipo, but I'm also running an led matrix, which most controller chips for led matrix's are 5 volt (though the led matrix itself wants something like 2.7 volts.)
Choices, choices…
Do you have the part number of the SMD crystal? It seems that you don't have it for sale and I can't find it in Digikey. Thanks in advance
Found it! The crystal is the CSTCE16M0V53-R0 from Murata, DigiKey PN 490-1198-1-ND.
If you install the DC power jack, the FTDI Basic Breakout will not fit, unless you extend the pins with an Arduino stackable header.
This is not just for the "pro", it's also great for the "duffer" who doesn't want to be bothered with level shifters.
We changed the dimension of most of our FTDI basics(except the Lilypad FTDI basic, currently) to fit the Arduino Pro with the barrel jack connected. If you have a old FTDI basic and the PCB is wider then the black 6 pin header, the above fix would be required.
Hey Sparkfun, whats up with the buzzer pad between D4 and D5 on the board & in the schematic files? Somekind of easter egg? :-)
What is the purpose of the resistors on D0 and D1 (RX and TX)? These are only on the Pros, and not on the regular Arduinos or the Pro Minis. I have had to remove and jumper them on previous projects. Thanks.
Sorry for the late response.
The purpose of the resistors are to protect the pins from over current, given a case of two outputs connected together and one goes high, while the other goes low, i.e. short to GND.
For example, when you have two serial devices (FTDI and UART peripheral) connected to the atmega, they all share one set of TX and RX. You only need one resistor "blocking" the TX lines from the FTDI and external UART peripheral going to the atmega RX line (we really don't need both). Draw this out if this doesn't make sense. On this board, the resistor blocks the external UART peripheral from the atmega, while the arduino deumilanove, blocks between the FTDI and atmega. Either way, both prevent over current from happening between two TX lines.
Also, if you are needing to short across the resistors to get something to work, you probably have 3 UART devices connected together and you could have two outputs connected, so be careful. But sometimes this configuration can be useful, only in one direction of communication. Ideally, you want to use NewSoftSerial to move your peripheral UART device to another set of pins.
Hope this helps.
will the barrel jack charge the lipo?
Nope. No charge controller on this board. Try One of these or add a charger.
Shame this has missed out on the mew IOREF, SDA, SCL and Mystery pins on the new R3 Arduinos

Crude oil prices rose today amid worries about supply after Nigeria's powerful oil unions went on strike and gunmen kidnapped six oil workers in the nation's south. Concern about more tensions with Iran was also a factor.
Potential conflicts in Nigeria -- Africa's biggest oil producer and a top supplier of crude to the United States -- and Iran could affect global supplies and are buoying prices after a sharp drop-off Thursday, analysts said.

Your Take: Do Tax Shelters, Dodges, and Rolls Anger You?
|Email Print
I'm a big fan of Bloomberg Businessweek, especially their iPad app where you can download your subscription and take it anywhere, and recently they had a really interesting special report called How to Pay No Taxes – very good reading. It held a lot of insights into how the wealthy are able to avoid taxes in entirely legal, and very clever, ways. They're all strategies that make sense when you're moving millions of dollars around because the costs of paying accountants, lawyers, and the like are likely in the tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. It makes less sense if you're just moving several thousand around.
As I read the article, I was about to get annoyed at all the sheltering and dodging until I realized it's just part of the game. Our tax structure has gotten so complicated, it's basically a game. Consider this – the United States has one of the highest corporate income tax rates at 35%. Yet, after all the loopholes and credits and other tax breaks, corporations, in aggregate, pay about average. The difference is that certain industries pay a lot less and others pay more.
It's like playing a game and finding out that one of the other players has discovered the optimal strategy before you do. They're beating your pants off because they're smarter than you. Can you really get that upset because they figured it out? I suppose you can get upset at anything but the reality is that you have to change the rules… right?

July 24, 2013
Call me cupcake turns four!
4 years.
FOUR years of blogging.
Can you believe it? I know I can't.
By the way, I looked back on all of CMCs birthday posts and realized I have been celebrating the wrong day all along. How ironic. July 24th is the correct date, not the 27th or 26th!
But it's that time of year again. Time to reminisce and to be thankful that I made the decision to start this blog.
"Why did you start blogging/baking?" is one of the questions I get asked the most, and I'm not sure I've ever mentioned it here before.
My writing isn't very good you see. Or it's not that it's bad (English isn't my first language), I've just been neglecting it. A lot.
The thing is I'm still not sure why I started baking or blogging. Before CMC, I baked three times a year. Tops! For real. And usually the same recipe every time. So I never really know what to answer when someone asks me. People expect to hear "I used to bake with my grandmother when I was a kid" or something like that, but I can't really say that because it wouldn't be true.
Happy birthday Call me cupcake! You are one of the best choices I've ever made. My life has changed so much because of you (am I seriously talking to myself here?).
What better way to celebrate than with ice cream cake?! I kind of cheated and bought ice cream instead of making my own, but go ahead and make your own if you're up for it. And I must say, this is one of the yummiest ice cream cakes I've had! I love the combination of ice cream, berries, pistachios and meringue.
So here's to you CMC!
On another note, sorry for sucking at answering your sweet sweet comments and e-mails. You should know that they make me so happy and that I try to read them all.
Vanilla ice cream cake with raspberries, pistachios, meringue drops and raspberry sauce
Raspberry sauce
150 g frozen berries
50 ml (0.2 cups) sugar
Ice cream cake
1 1/2 litre good quality vanilla ice cream, softened
50 g pistachio kernels, coarsely chopped
125 g raspberries
250 ml / 1 cup meringue drops
For decoration:
Extra raspberries
Extra meringue drops
Chopped pistachios
Raspberry sauce
Let berries and sugar come to a boil in a sauce pan. Mash berries carefully with a fork and let simmer for a couple of minutes, then let cool for a while. Press mixture through a sieve. Store in fridge.
Ice cream cake
Line a 1 1/2 liter capacity bowl with plastic wrap (let the plastic wrap hang over the edge).
Put the softened ice cream in a larger bowl and fold down pistachios, raspberries and 1 dl (0.4 cup) of the meringue drops. Pour mixture into prepared bowl and spread out remaining meringue drops on top of ice cream to create a meringue layer. Put bowl in the freezer, covering the top with the overhang of plastic wrap. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
Put a plate in the freezer to chill. Turn out the cake on top of it, removing the plastic wrap. Put back in the freezer until firm, about 20 minutes. Decorate with raspberries, pistachios, meringue drops and raspberry sauce.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Expensive little box
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had this box for about seven years. I agree that the assembly process was less than fun but not a deal breaker. The main appeal of the box for me was the size. I just wanted additional cargo space and this fit the bill. As far as quality goes, I would agree with most reviewers that it is pretty flimsy for the price tag! One of the ball and socket joints on one of the hinges on my cadet separated so the box lid no longer holds itself open on the back half of the box. Not a huge inconvenience but it never should have happened. Also I had to drill additional holes on the underside of my box in order for it to fit the luggage rack spacing on my bars. This apparently voids the warranty. Thank goodness, I have never had to get any service from Thule. Would I buy this product again, nope! Would I recommend it to a friend, nope. Has it served its purpose sure so I guess it just depends on what you need.
I love it.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
It was a little difficult to put together but the box is great. It hold a surprising amount of stuff in it and I didn't notice any strange noises when driving on the freeway. I also like that is fits well with my smaller car.
Its Crap
$15.00 worth of parts, about a buck spent on engineering, and zero on quality control. Thi s unit consits of two pieces of thin plastic, two hinges, four u-clamps, and two locks that froze in the locked position after just one year. For something without very many parts, it was very hard to put together. Sure, you can put your golf clubs in it, so long as the golf course you're going to is a par 3 and all you need is a 3-iron, 7-iron and putter! It can all be yours for JUST $260!!

Across the street and three houses down. That's how close Heather Bujnicki and Chris Wasik lived to each other growing up. They played with the other kids in their Cheektowaga neighborhood. Their families were friendly, gathering together for game nights, backyard campfires and Christmas-in-July parties. In middle school, Heather Bujnicki developed a slight crush on her future groom. And Chris Wasik began to realize this smart girl he had known since age 6 wasn't so nerdy after all. Light flirting ensued.
In the 10th grade, he asked her out. To his surprise, she turned him down.
"I thought, 'This is weird.' It was totally unexpected. I guess I just knew a thing or two about better timing. It wasn't the right time," she explained earlier this week.
Although they continued to run into each other, it wasn't until 2010 that he asked her out again "as friends" to a wedding in Cleveland. This time she said yes. A long-distance romance ensued. He was living in Buffalo; she was in medical school in Pittsburgh. On April 27, 2012, he proposed to her in the middle of the street between their two childhood homes.
"My mom and dad were looking out the window. Heather's mom was hiding in a bush trying to take pictures," Wasik said.
The couple, both 28, was married at 2 p.m. June 1 in Corpus Christi Church on Clark Street. The Rev. Mariusz Dymek heard the couple's vows. Following the ceremony, guests gathered at a reception in Pearl Street Grill & Brewery.
Heather Wasik is the daughter of Paul C. and Nancy Bujnicki of Cheektowaga. A graduate of West Seneca East Senior High School, she earned a bachelor of science degree in exercise science from the University at Buffalo and a doctor of medicine degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. She is a pediatric resident at Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore.
Chris Wasik is the son of Joseph S. and Kathleen M. Wasik of Cheektowaga. The groom, a financial analyst at Parexel in Baltimore, is a graduate of St. Francis High School. He earned a bachelor of science degree in finance from John Carroll University in Cleveland.
The couple, who traveled to Riviera Maya, Mexico, has returned home to Baltimore.

Religion and Nineteenth-Century Voting Behavior: A New Look at Some Old Data
Samuel DeCanio
University of California, Santa Cruz
Journal of Politics, Vol. 69, No. 2, pp. 339-350, May 2007
Recent studies of nineteenth-century voting behavior have focused on how economic variables influenced elections during this period. Employing underutilized individual-level data from the 1870s, this paper argues that such studies overstate the influence of economic variables upon electoral behavior. Specifically, Democratic voters principally cast ballots on the basis of economic issues and divisions, while Republicans were primarily concerned with religious and cultural issues. These results suggest that the Democratic and Republican parties attracted voters on the basis of different policy dimensions, indicating that both ethnocultural and economic considerations affected both political parties, albeit in divergent ways.

OXFORD, Miss. — Investigators haven't found any ricin in the house of Mississippi man accused of mailing poisoned letters to President Barack Obama, a U.S. senator and a local judge, according to testimony Monday from an FBI agent.
Agent Brandon Grant said that a search of Paul Kevin Curtis' vehicle and house in Corinth, Miss., on Friday did not turn up ricin or ingredients for the poison. A search of Curtis' computers has found no evidence so far that he researched making ricin.
"There was no apparent ricin, castor beans or any material there that could be used for the manufacturing, like a blender or something," Grant testified. He speculated that Curtis could have thrown away the processor. Grant said computer technicians are now doing a "deep dive" on the suspect's computers after initially finding no "dirty words" indicating Curtis had searched for information on ricin.
Through his lawyer, Curtis has denied involvement in letters sent to Obama, Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker, and a Lee County, Miss., judge. The letters, bearing a Memphis, Tenn., postmark, were detected beginning April 15.
Curtis' lawyer said in court that someone may have framed Curtis, suggesting that a former co-worker with whom Curtis had an extended exchange of angry emails may have set him up.
Still, Grant testified that authorities believe that they have the right suspect.
The judge adjourned the hearing until this morning.

Sandy Hook families bring emotion to gun debate
WASHINGTON -- Bringing their emotional advocacy to the national gun debate, families of those killed in the Connecticut school shooting are appearing with President Barack Obama and walking the halls of Congress.
They already have helped push through the nation's most restrictive firearms law, which Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, D-Conn., signed Thursday.
With no lobbying background and fueled by the power of their emotions, a group of Sandy Hook Elementary School families can take credit for helping shape the measure as it moved through the state Legislature.
Now they're trying to do the same in Washington, where gun legislation is facing tough resistance. Congress is returning from spring break, and Newtown, Conn., families plan to spend the coming week on Capitol Hill.
Their goal of their personal appeals is to speak to every senator who has yet to express support for the gun legislation.
"I'm not a constitutional scholar and I'm not a Second Amendment specialist," David Wheeler, who lost his 6-year-old son, Benjamin, said in a telephone interview.
"I don't know the ins and outs of gun policy but I know ... " his voice trailed off as a sob caught in his throat. "But I now know one of the things that no father should ever know. And in our system of representative government, we have to use our voices."
The families of the 20 children and six staff members killed in the December shooting at Sandy Hook are a diverse group politically.
They include gun owners, and Democrats and Republicans. They don't always agree on gun policy.
One father -- Mark Mattioli, who lost his 6-year-old son, James -- attended a National Rifle Association news conference last week to endorse a proposal to train school staffers as armed security officers.
But relatives of nine victims have come together with a nonprofit group called Sandy Hook Promise to sign a letter sent Thursday to senators. It asks them to vote to expand background checks for gun purchases, strengthen laws against gun trafficking and ban ammunition magazines with more than 10 rounds.

With the exception of Gerald Wallace, not one other player in the Brooklyn Nets' rotation last season could be recognized as a player whose game relies somewhat on athleticism. Even saying that Wallace's game relies on athleticism is stretching it due to the down year he had.
The Nets have no players who play above the rim, no players who can truly get out on a fast break with regularity and no high-fliers who can electrify the Barclays Center with an eye-popping throwdown or a cringeworthy rejection.
Last season, the Nets ranked next to dead last in the league in fast break points and only had one player, Brook Lopez, average more than a block per game. They, however, fared well in rebounding, ranking 10th in the league in spite of their lack of athleticism, thanks to the craftiness and battle-for-every-rebound mentality of the undersized Reggie Evans.
Watching Brooklyn play made me forget what an alley-oop even looked like. This team not only made me long for the days of Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin and Kerry Kittles, but even had me feeling nostalgic of the too brief Nets' career of Gerald Green.
I would have been more than fine settling for Green last season. When those teams' energy lapses, and there seemed to be a lot of them, Green or a player like him could have solved the problem with one crowd electrifying dunk or swat.
Not heavily relying on athleticism can be a good thing, especially with an aging roster. For example, Joe Johnson and Deron Williams should be able to be effective for a longer period of time since they can shoot better, have great ball-handling skills and a higher basketball IQ than players whose games solely relies on athleticism. General Manager Billy King needs to find the proper mix that can incorporate both types of players.
Athletic defensive players are needed more than ever in the league today in order to try to contain the likes of Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, LeBron James or the ''almost seven footers'' with the skills to play small forward, like Kevin Durant or even Paul George.
Here are a few ways Billy King and the Nets can fix their athleticism problem.

Easy Baked Manicotti
Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 1 hr 5 mins
This recipe is from "Kraft: Food and Family", Winter 2006.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 473.18 ml spaghetti sauce
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 414.03 ml ricotta cheese
- 354.88 ml mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 118.29 ml parmesan cheese, grated
- 59.14 ml basil pesto (DiGiorno) (optional)
- 12 manicotti, cooked, rinsed in cold water
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread 3/4 cup of the spaghetti sauce on bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish. Mix egg, cheeses, and pesto sauce until well blended. Spoon cheese mixture into large resealable plastic bag. Using scissors, cut off small hole from one of the bottom corners of bag.
- Cook manicotti shells for half of the time on the box. This will keep them firm enough to handle and not fall apart when stuffing. The additional cook time in the oven will cook them the rest of the way. After you remove the partially cooked manicotti from the stove, transfer them into a container of cold water. This will prevent them from continuing to cook
- Fill manicotti shells, 1 at a time, squeezing cheese mixture into both sides of each shell. Place manicotti over sauce in dish; pour remaining 1 1/4 cups spaghetti sauce over manicotti. Cover with foil.
- Bake 40 minutes or until heat through.
Most Helpful
Super easy to make especially if you buy premade pesto and sauce! The noodles broke to easy by just using a bag. Next time i'll use a pastry bag that will actually not break the shells. Super simple.
Awesome and so so easy! I made two at once and put one in the freezer for an even easier meal!
YUM! Tasted delicious. It was so easy to mix up the filling. I love the idea of using prepared pesto. I made it even easier by NOT cooking the manicotti noodles and just filled them using an iced tea spoon. I had 14 (Barilla) and I covered them all with the rest of the sauce from a 24 oz. jar. I covered the dish tightly with foil and baked it for 1 hour. The noodles were cooked al dente (the way I like it). I will make this again for sure! Thanks! PS- I didn't have mozzerella (oops) so I used cheddar, which seemed odd to me but it worked out well.

THE Conservatives have held on to Larkswood ward.
Edwin Northover, 29, a lawyer, polled 1,393 votes - around two thirds of the votes cast.
Conservative group leader Cllr Matt Davis hailed the result as 'a landslide.'
He added: "This result shows that people are fed up with the Lib-Lab coalition.
"One vote for one is a vote for the other."
Mr Northover added: "I'm absolutely delighted. I have fought three by-elections now and have been getting better results as things have gone on.
"I live in the south of the borough but I will represent the people of Larkswood ward."
The Liberal Democrats will be disappointed to have finished third - only 42 votes ahead of the Green Party.
Lib Dem candidate, Henry Boyle, said: "I think the result is what everyone expected."
However, he was not disheartened and said he believes the Lib Dems can challenge for overall leadership of the council.
The victory is the second in a row for the Conservatives after Jemma Hemsted won Valley ward in November.
The other candidates who stood in tonight's election were Henrietta Jackson, who polled 255 votes for Labour, and Daniel Perret, who polled 102 votes for the Greens.
The by-election was called after the death of Conservative councillor John Walter.
Tory councillors Nick Buckmaster and Eric Williams also have seats on Larkswood ward.
The result means the political make-up of the council is unchanged.
The Labour group has 25 members, the Lib Dems 20 and Conservatives 15.
The authority is currently run by a Lib-Lab coalition.
Turnout 23.15 per cent, 1,903 votes cast
EDWIN NORTHOVER (Conservative) 1,395
Henrietta Jackson (Labour) 255
Henry Boyle (Lib Dem) 144
Daniel Perrett (Green Party) 102

Wet weather seems to be wrapping up, but a few more snow and rain showers will likely hit spots around the Valley and the Sierra Friday morning.
KCRA 3 meteorologist Tamara Berg said the final wave of energy is expected to bring the a little bit more snow in the Sierra and some rain to the valley.
Watch Tamara Berg's Friday forecast
However, skies will clear out during the day and temperatures will be a little cooler, Berg said.
Snow flurries will possibly continue into the afternoon, but not much accumulation is expected.
According to Berg, the weekend looks dry with temperatures staying around average.

Android users take to Jelly Bean faster than most any other Android build
0. phoneArena 18 Sep 2012, 19:14 posted on
Despite a paltry 1.47% share of the Android market, Android 4.1 has been adopted faster by Android users than just about every other build of Google's open source OS; according to research, traffic from Jell Bean increased 1500% in its first two months...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

"Unlike iOS, which updates basically one phone and one tablet (admittedly across a few generations), Android updates need to work on different phones and tablets made by different manufacturer"
its much easier to work with "one" device now isn't it?
but still i get your drift.......and thats why when choosing an android device its kinda best to go with a really popular one.......ones that get more attention than others and also choose a good company.........like HTC Samsung or Sony
4. wendygarett (unregistered)
Dude... ios 6 can start update today as well...
You'll see the growth :)
5. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
sigh.......i know wendy.......i know lol......
but where we wont see growth is the OS :(
7. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
quick updates, but same restricted operating system
28. c.hack (Posts: 609; Member since: 09 Dec 2009)
Android - locked bootloader and no updates
iOS - easy jailbreaks and timely updates for many years.
Who did you say was restricted again?
32. adelta90 (Posts: 63; Member since: 14 Sep 2012)
im sorry, locked bootloader? wanna try again?
for ios, you need a jailbreak just for a file manager (at least in 4s)
i find that hard to digest since we are talking about smartphones

29. c.hack (Posts: 609; Member since: 09 Dec 2009)
My one year old DX2 is still bootloader locked and running GB. Moto is full of s*(^t. They have only unlocked 2 phones and have no intention of unlocking older phones.
Its all marketing BS.
31. deacz (Posts: 162; Member since: 02 Nov 2011)
Yea it is, the international version of the Xoom is like 4 updates behind the american one.
42. mas11 (Posts: 1034; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
That's why they are giving you $100 toward your next phone. (Btw it came out in May so technically it's over a year old by 4 months now)
23. maier9900 (Posts: 272; Member since: 17 Dec 2011)
Companies like HTC and Samsung should work on their flagship phones and FOCUS on 1 or 2 phones, that's what they should really work on, to make those couple of phones better and BETTER. Look how ridiculously incredible Apple is doing with just 4 dif. phones (3GS, 4, 4S, 5). Samsung should have better Quality phones, they have the sources to do so... Hell, even HTC is using aluminium.
Everytime there's a phone coming out and people go crazy, next thing you know a month later another phone comes out that you want and then again and again every two months there's one phone hatching. In my opinion this is crazy, they should focus on just a couple phones and then there WILL be faster Android updates due to the decreased number of phones and i bet you if they really work on it they could make Android the perfect OS and 1000% smoother.

I'm Still using Gingerbread (2.3.3) on Droid X. But not for long. As soon as the Maxx HD and the Optimus G come out and some reviews are in I will decide between the two and have ICS then JB.

30. c.hack (Posts: 609; Member since: 09 Dec 2009)
On iOS the user has the choice to update. On Android you have no choice. You have to pray the manufacturer and then the carrier give you an update - and they almost never do.
Even 3 year old iPhone 3GS's will get iOS 6 today - if they want - on the day of release. Name one droid that got an updated even after a year and a half.
36. FranksGT (Posts: 167; Member since: 29 Aug 2012)
HTC vivid for ATT, almost a year and a half old. It has ICS. :)

37. SleepingOz (unregistered)
"no choice" really?
You can update your Android yourself, well before the official updates are out!

Samsung nexus S. Came out in 2010 and got full jellybean
39. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
Yes 3gs customer can get the updates,but with much less of the features and for the most part they are better not getting the update at all. We've had lots of customers with some major 3gs problems even when they updated to ios 5. Its quite better off if you have an older and less technologically advanced phone not to get the current maximum os update and have smooth problem free functionality than to get the actually update and have a your phone half bricked as a result,android manufacturers know this and as result don't result handsets not capable,other factors like network carriers can slow any updates that are released. You wouldn't put a new ferrari engine in a toyota yaris chassis would you,it not built to take it.Apple hides its fragmentation well because the os hasn't developed much from year to year and the phones really have changed much either
6. Cacharoes (Posts: 17; Member since: 05 Sep 2012)
It will not be that long, before that 57% shifts to ICS or JB. Considering ICS and JB are starting to be on Devices when they ship.
Most of those people using GB should start having their upgrade.
Of course it would be nice if we did get upgrade faster, but that is what happens when we have a choice of nearly 4,000 different Android Models.
Versus the 9 or so IOS Devices.
Google Works to help make the Upgrading work faster anyway. Unifying GB and Honeycomb into ICS and releasing JB early to Manufacturers.
We definitely are having a much faster adoption of JB than with previous Android iterations.
It is good we are having some progress in this area.
13. Femto (Posts: 61; Member since: 21 Mar 2012)
To each his own, but it sounds like you're very forgiving for these extremely slow updates. 1.47% is WEAK by any measure. End of story.
19. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
well the real question is how many of those actually care for an update, these numbers have a meaning for geeks and devs..... and assuming from what we heard about the WP camp having 3 versions (Mango, Tango, Windows 8) I don't see much of a difference from 2.3 4.0 and 4.1 when devs are involved, and now that the new iPhone has fragmented their ecosystem too I technically see the same headache on every mayor platform
21. Femto (Posts: 61; Member since: 21 Mar 2012)
You make a good point. I'm annoyed by it because very much appreciate the upgrades present in Jelly bean. You're right, though. Most people probably don't care or even know what jelly bean is.
Next paragraph not aimed at you, proto:
Making excuses for a pathetic number like 1.47% and giving red thumbs for calling that a weak number just lends credence to those who claim the followers of these web sites to be fandroid sheep - defending android at all costs; not letting logic io common sense get in the way. Hey, I like android, too. I'm just saying it's not perfect, and 1.47% IS weak.
40. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
if you ever been into android you will find out how normal this is, for the first time google is addressing the issue and the adoption rate is super high.
43. Femto (Posts: 61; Member since: 21 Mar 2012)
I've been into android since our old buddy, the original Motorola Droid, was released. Well, let's just hope we start seeing a bunch of JB updates and phones released with JB very soon...or at least lots of support so we can flash it on any phone we choose.
9. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
It's because JB is just so damn good! :)
10. Jphones (Posts: 235; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
Its really just phone sales that cause fragmentation. Think since GB dates back to 2010 that means anyone who bought a phone that year is only eligible for a upgrade now in 2012. 2yr contracts play a huge part in the "suppose" fragmentation. New versions of android come out usually yearly sometimes less. Kinda hard for most manufactures to keep up let alone trying to make new devices and update skins for those new devices. An at the same time trying to refine skins for there older devices and work in an update for them. Not saying they don't take there sweet time with the updates but still not all their fault.
Idea to propose to manufactures would be to take their top 3 phones an promise these specific phones will be the only ones that are guaranteed to be updated to future Android updates. Obviously manufacture updates would be excluded. That way people will know what phones will get future updates before they buy. Would save everybody time and make the manufactures have little to no excuse for updates being extremely slow. it will also give the android ecosystem a break from all the suppose fragmentation.
14. rallyguy (Posts: 620; Member since: 13 Mar 2012)
JB is great! Apple fans have nothing to criticize Android over except fragmentation. I don't see it being an issue at all.
So your arguement is it's better to have old outdated software because everyone will have outdates software, verus new software with new innovative features making the user experience better?
I have JB and all of my apps have been updated. I'm tired of the biased against Android here. Most of us know a large portion of Gingerbread are Kindles.
15. rallyguy (Posts: 620; Member since: 13 Mar 2012)
Same thing with Apple. the Iphone 3G can't run the current IOS.
When you are on top, you have to keep getting better and be innovative to stay there. If you want to stay in the middle, you just make small changes to what you already have.

Imo the new Motoblur looks pretty damn good, but I completely understand where you're coming from. Touchwiz and Sense are too much, HTC and Samsung need to tone it down.
17. theBankRobber (Posts: 681; Member since: 22 Sep 2011)
JB is the most stable Android version out, it really improves the hell out of phones. I thought upgrading from GB to ICS was a good thing, JB takes it to a whole new level with stability, speed and how smooth everything just runs.
22. Penny (Posts: 1648; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
Why do I feel like the equivalent Windows Phone article would read "Forget about the whopping 1500% growth rate, keep in mind that, however, but, despite, nevertheless, with all possible dubiousness placed upon this news and any other qualifier we may have left out, that only amounts to a total share of 1.47%."
24. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
The problem is not with the goddamn manufacturers, Alan. The problem is the carriers. For instance, the Razr and Maxx had an ICS update that could have been pushed out in April. It wasn't until June though. The GS2 variants in the US magically didn't get their ICS update until after the GS3 was made available. And the Vivid, the first US phone built with Gingerbread that got updated to ICS in the US, didn't get it until they were just about to discontinue it and come out with the One X.
Hell, the Wifi Xoom is already running Jelly Bean, and got its ICS update a month after ICS came out. The problem is the carriers. They need to be dealt with if the process is to be sped up.

This is something Google will have to remedy in the future as it hurts when great phones cannot be updated in a timely fashion
26. platformwars (Posts: 86; Member since: 14 Sep 2012)
Analyst say that Android has slower updates of softwares. That's true compared to iOS but every coin has 2 sides to it. Apple has the authority and decides which phones it wants to upgrade to the next version of the OS or not.. even though its been quiet good by still upgrading the 3Gs.. but the freedom that android has is great. Im using a HTC Desire HD and when HTC broke the news that my device wont be upgraded to ICS i was disappointed and thought of switching to WP or iOS.. but by the time the announcement was made JB came out and its freakin awesome.. so i searched the net.. found a version of JB for the HTC Desire HD, updated my phone and its like a new phone now.. so thats great about android..
Another thing about Apple is that since it controls the hardware and the software, i believe its not as future proof as some of the Android models.. like the S3 has come with Quad Core Processor and 2 GB Ram.. so the next few versions of Android will run smoothly on the device.. whereas if iOS decides to give a major upgrade to their OS(which is due BTW).. the older devices might not be compatible at all.. something like WINDOWS PHONE...
27. xfire99 (Posts: 833; Member since: 14 Mar 2012)
Ouch..Apple fans wont like this:http://www.businessinsider.com
But dont think its matter, since android is too high tech anyway for all Apple fans to understand how to use.
34. tlsmithsr (Posts: 81; Member since: 28 Sep 2010)
iOS6 is just like gingerbread.. So apple is just now catching up... No need to worry fellow android fans
35. ibap (Posts: 758; Member since: 09 Sep 2009)
"Android users take to Jelly Bean faster than most any other Android build" - what the heck does that mean? Wouldn't we all update if it was available for our devices? Like this is a function of what users want rather than what the manufacturers and carriers give them.
1500% growth since it became available? How do you figure that? Going from zero to any amount is an infinite increase. Or are you starting from beta test usage?
Add that to the fact that you've had network improvements and some hot new devices - these numbers don't mean a darn thing.
41. Aeires (unregistered)
Just because you might be using an older version doesn't mean your phone is fragmented. That's like saying anyone using Windows 7 has a fragmented computer because they can get Windows 8 now.
Seriously, get over the fragmentation term, or at least understand what fragmentation means before using it.
44. Aaron_R96 (Posts: 198; Member since: 22 Jan 2012)
To be fair, I'd rather wait far longer for an update worth having - with lots of new features and far better performance, than get one with very little in the way of change (that takes up non-expandable memory) like, I dunno, say a new (and worse) maps app? Just saying.
