Wild Horses and Burros Offered for Adoption in King City
Mustangs fresh from the range and after training will be on display Saturday in King City. The Bureau of Land Management will offer wild horses and burros for adoption. In addition, Monterey County Search and Rescue will demonstrate mustangs they use in search and rescue operations.
The BLM will offer 30 horses ranging in age from under 1 to about 5, along with 10 burros at an adoption Saturday at the Salinas Valley Fairgrounds, 625 Division St. The event runs from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The adoption event opens with an hour of silent bidding beginning at 8 a.m. Animals not taken during bidding will be available for a $125 adoption fee. All animals must be taken to their new homes on Saturday. Anyone interested can preview the animals when they arrive at the fairgrounds at about 2 p.m. Friday.
"With the warmer weather and longer days, the timing is right to begin training an adopted mustang or burro," said Mindy Odom, wild horse and burro specialist in BLM's Bakersfield Field Office.
The horses and burros were gathered from herds in Nevada and California.
For additional information on the adoption event or wild horse management, contact the BLM toll free at 1-866-4MUSTANGS or Odom at (661) 391-6049. Information is also available online at www.wildhorseandburro.blm.gov.

Bishop and pulpit orator, b. in Ardfert, Co. Kerry, in 1812; d. 1 October, 1877. He received his early education in a classical school of his native diocese, and later was sent to Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. From there he passed to Maynooth, and after a distinguished course in theology was elected to the Dunboyne establishment, where he spent two years. While yet young priest he was chosen by the episcopal management of the Irish College in Paris, as vice-president of that institution; which position he occupied for about four years. So satisfactory was his work that, on the death of Father Hand, he was appointed President of All Hallows missionary college, Dublin, and for years guided, fashioned, and made effective the discipline and teaching of that well known institution. It was during this time he gave evidence of the noble oratory, so chaste, so elevated, so various, and so convincing, that has some to be associated with his name. In 1854 he was appointed coadjutor, with the right of succession, to the See of Kerry, under the title of Bishop of Antigonia: and two years later succeeded to that see. His work as bishop is testified to by several churches and schools, a diocesan college, and many conventual establishments. He found time to conduct retreats for priests and his addresses which have come down to us under the title "Allocutions to the Clergy " are characterized by profound thought, expressed in an elevated and oratorical style. In his political views he ran counter to much of the popular feeling of the time, and was a notable opponent of the Fenian organization, which he denounced strongly. Still, he was a great patriot of the type of O'Connell, for whom he had a great admiration. His principal works are: "Allocutions to the Clergy " and two volumes of sermons.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

"Navy officer shot, killed"
"A junior officer stationed at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station was fatally shot in the head early Friday morning while driving on Highway 20 in Skagit County.Investigators have few leads in the mans homicide and no clue to what the motive of the shooting could be beyond the possibility of road rage, according to Skagit County Undersheriff Dave Stafford.But the Sheriffs Office is asking for information on two vehicles of interest, he said.Shortly after midnight, Stafford said the State Patrol received a report of a car accident on Highway 20, just east of the Swinomish Slough bridge and Swinomish Casino.The trooper found the mid-size station wagon in a field on the south side of the highway and immediately called the Sheriffs Office after discovering that the driver had been shot and killed.The Skagit County Sheriffs Office would not release the victims name Friday, Stafford said, because of difficulties contacting the mans next of kin. He is described as an Island County man in his mid-20s. Navy officials, however, identified the victim as a lieutenant junior grade attached to the bases Fleet Aviation Specialized Operational Training Group, or FASO. Stafford said it appears that someone in another vehicle fired the fatal shot. After the driver was shot, investigators believe that his westbound car crossed the median and two eastbound lanes, then came to rest at the edge of a field. The victim is believed to have been the sole occupant of the car.Investigators are looking for a couple of vehicles that were seen in the area near the time of the shooting. One is described as an older Trans Am-type car that was possibly dark in color. The other is a dark-colored, 1970s Ford pickup with a roll bar that has lights attached.Stafford said one of the two cars was smoking heavily but the witness wasnt sure which one. Anyone with any information can contact the Sheriffs Office at (360) 336-9450."

[QUOTE=otzi;1195130]Paleobird - I'm not interested in a debate...you may be entirely correct. Lots not known, that I DO know. But I have come across something that really got me thinking. It's a dual phenomenon known as the "SCFA Gradient" and "Carbohydrate Gap".
Basically what is going on is that any fiber, whether RS or whatever, is fermented rapidly in the beginning of the colon, doing a good job of keeping the first third of the colon healthy, but starving the last third. This can only be corrected by eating more food that contains fiber so it can feed the entire colon. RS in conjunction with some fiber is the best source. The RS is more easily digested, so the fiber that's with it can travel further down the colon, reducing the SCFA gradient.
So, ingested butyrate is certainly good for you, I just don't think it is ideal for complete protection of the colon. A fiber/RS free diet, even one high in butyrate, is probably a recipe for disaster in colon health.[/QUOTE]Sorry Otzi but all that paper says is that SCFA are produced by fermentation and that SFCAs are good for you. It says absolutely nothing about alternate and much more concentrated forms of SCFAs such as butter. It is my theory that SCFA production via fermentation is the body's Plan B, an adaptation that can fill the gap if hunting is not going well.
And the Maasai who eat very little other than blood, butter and milk don't get colon cancer nearly as much as us All Bran eating westerners.
[QUOTE=Omni;1195172]What you've shown through that paper is an association, there is no evidence that it is a causal relationship between Pathology and SCFA gradient.
It may well be that a high fibre primal diet and a low fibre primal diet will show the same degree of pathology gradient and incidence, this has yet to be proven.
[B]All the studies I've seen always compare the value of increasing fibre intake to a conventional SAD, I have not seen any literature that suggests a ketogenic diet increases risk of bowel pathology through lack of fibre intake.[/B]
Now I do believe moderate fibre intake is healthy, but I haven't seen any evidence that it is essential for good gut health.[/QUOTE]This. All those studies show is that "heathywholegrains" are better than Twinkies. We can all agree to that.

Stupid question really, I just want to make sure I get it right the first time.
The XE/LET uses stretch bolts, right? I.e. get new bolts and throw away the old ones?
And hopefully without starting yet another religious discussion on the subject, torqueing (is that a word! ?) is either
25Nm +90+90+90 cold
25Nm +65+65+65 cold + 30 hot

yesterday we were working on my mates golf. i took the plugs out to check the condition, clean them, etc.. when i went to put them back i thought just so it was doen properly i'd use a torque wrench to tighten them by the book figures. so i set the torque wrench to the right setting and then tightened a bit. the wrench didn't 'give' at all and they were getting really hard to tighten but for some stupid reason i kept on going and the spark plugs broke, leaving the thread firmly screwed into the engine but the rest of the plug detached from the thread so they could just be pulled straight out
so is there any way of getting the threads out? or have i fecked the engine totally? it's not too important as its off the road and probably gonna be scrapped soon. we're just using it really to learn about engines, etc..
and how does a torque wrench work then? i set it to the right setting but it didn't stop at the right torque, just kept on going and going

Nintendo probably wont do that because it wouldnt be safe for younger users online with all the swearing. That it probably the only reason since they would be making so much money.

RE: Trading a Carve 122 on a ISonic 135
OK Vinny,
I think you just had a bit of a "mis-match" between the 5.5 Aerotech Charge
(a nice little sail) and the Isonic 135.
I'm sure you would have had more fun with the 5.5 Charge on your Carve 122.
The conditions sound like they were really more in the 4.5-5.0 m2 range for other sailors on smaller boards.
You could probably use the 5.5 m2 Charge in those same conditions, but on a smaller board like I suspect the others sailors were on.
Yes, the 80 cm wide Isonic 135 is really too wide for those conditions with such a small sail.
In conditions where you would be using your 7.0/8.2 and 9.3, I think you will find the Isonic 133 really performs.
Your FE 160 should work well with the 9.3 and 11.0 race sails.
If you get to use your 5.5 and 7.0 alot, then keep the Carve 122 (or look at a smaller Isonic like the 115).
If you spend more time on the 8.2 and 9.3 then the Isonic 135 would perhaps be the better choice and get a smaller board (100-115 liters) to use for high winds and your smaller sails.
Hope this helps,

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT — Jet lag is a non-factor for the Little Leaguers from Perth, Australia, who flew 35 hours to get to the World Series.
The Aussies were the first of the 16 series teams to arrive, checking in at International Grove in the World Series complex about 3:15 a.m. Saturday, two hours later than expected.
They were up and ready to go a few hours later and manager Brian Armstrong said the 12-hour time difference seems not to have had any effect on the players. They were jovial at mid-afternoon as they walked to a nearby building to obtain their security credentials.
Players and managers must have security badges so they can leave and enter the complex where they live and eat. They also must pass through metal detectors just like the fans who will watch them play.
Asked what the players thought of the complex when they saw it in daylight, Armstrong replied, "I still can't get the smile off their faces. We don't have anything like this back home."
As for his impression, Armstrong, a butcher by trade who caught when he played amateur baseball, said: "Wow. The wow factor went through the roof."
Before leaving Australia he said he spoke with Glen Tovey, who managed the Perth team from a different league that was in the series last year. Tovey described his experience but added words do not do it justice.
"You have to see it," Armstrong was told.
"We're an all-around team," the manager said. "There are no superstars."
Perth's first game is 5 p.m. Friday against Hamacao, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean champion.
"They're ready to go," Armstrong said about his team, that has been together since January. Except for a mini-tournament just before they left the Aussies have played little since winning the Australian championship in early June.
His attitude going into the series is "on any given day anyone can win." It is up to the team, he said, adding, "there's no excuses."
This is the second year the Australian national champion has qualified for a berth in the series that begins at 1 p.m. Thursday.

9000 pictures!?! Is that right? I am boggling. I think just looking through the 2000 is PLENTY of work for an evening.
I didn't get much done. Spent more time looking through pictures I took over the last 6 years. Right now, I am transferring pics to photobucket. I did 2000 last night. Working on 7000 of them now... geesh this is a bigger task than I thought it was. And it's taking a long long time. I've got 5 browser windows uploading right now. Think I'll take a nap while it works.
9000 pictures!?! Is that right? I am boggling. I think just looking through the 2000 is PLENTY of work for an evening.
Well... photobucket only has a 2 gb limit. I have 9 gb of pictures... I got 2 gb uploaded... but now I'm done b/c I have no other place to put them unless I'm willing to pay $30 a year for more storage. Apple has a 10 gb limit on the icloud for $20 a year... but I'm not really that into paying for online storage. For now, I have the external hard drive stored in the fire box. I plan to put the negatives for our wedding pictures in the same box. And I'll ask my MIL to store the second set of my wedding photos in her house. OR, even better... I could take them to work and keep them in my desk. I know, I'm neurotic...
I didn't look through all 2000 pics... I did a CTRL A and just told it to upload them all. But yes, grand total of pictures I found on my external drive is 9,000... I think I'll find that a lot of them are duplicates, but I don't know how many until I go through them and see what I've got. That's gonna have to happen on another day.
And this 9000 pics is a cumulative total for the last 8 or so years of our lives. I got my first digital camera in 2005 or 2006... I think it was the Christmas of 2005. So all these pictures have been piling up in that time. And about 90% of them are pics of the kids.
Start Date 9.24.12
Starting weight 285ish ( scale is acting funny so I don't trust it, but 285 is close )
CW - 271 pounds
First Goal - 255 by 2013
Main Goal - To be healthy for my family... I have an awesome family.
Other Goal - to get off some medications
Final goal - to get to about 180 pounds by 2014
NEW GOAL - When I can start a new journal called "Your dad is not so fat!"
Your Dad is So Fat
I'll look into Amazon. Thank you!
HOLY CRAP! 20 GB is only $10 per year!! I'm ON IT! Thanks for the heads up, Primal Papa!!! You're the best!
Days 6, 7, and 8 went well. Typical foods - eggs, bacon, salmon, veggies, pork chops, steak, sweet potato, more veggies, a few almonds, and 12 Honey crisp apples. *recordscratch* 12 apples??? yes... sadly, I ate 12 apples - in the form of homemade applesauce (apples heated in crockpot til saucy, add cinnamon)... I had a headache last night from all the danged sugar. Serves me right. Probably gonna hit a carb flu too.
Today the plan is this:
B: 2 fried eggs, 3 slices bacon
L: leftover pork chop and veggies
D: tacos - sans cheese and sour cream... Brad really wants tacos, so I said ok. Brady is being a good sport and said "No cheese, though, Mom." What a champ.
He was absolutely NOT listening last night. He was wound up, to the level of psycho, and not listening. He'd keep doing what we told him not to do, like he didn't hear us, but we know he did. He had eaten gluten both Saturday for lunch and yesterday for lunch. This morning, though, he was angelic. He got dressed before I was even out of the shower! He ate his breakfast without a fuss. When I told him he needed to hurry up, he didn't say "But I'm supposed to eat slowly or I'll get sick"... nope, he scooped up his eggs, shoveled them in and guzzled his juice. Got his shoes on with one request. It was amazing! We were still late getting out the door, but I was still on time to work - in fact, I was the first one here - everyone else was late! lol I'm hoping for another good week like we had with him last week. If we do, I am going to officially announce that no dairy/no gluten produces a very well behaved young man. If not, we'll give it another week and wait for the gluten to weed itself out of his body again.
His lunches are a little less paleo now that we're doing gluten free. Today he's got 2 hotdogs and a banana. Other days he's had apples with peanut butter. I also got him some grapes. We'll toss those in there somewhere too. For his snacks he's got a mix of strawberries and oranges. For his snack at the Latchkey program, he's got some kettlecorn - non-GMO, gluten free, preservative free, the whole 9 yards - only non-paleo aspect is that it's, well, popcorn... but some factions of Paleo say popcorn is ok b/c popcorn is always non-gmo. whatev... He's not a 100% paleo eater - more like 50/50, which is better than not at all. That's a whole lot of carbs though, not much on the protein scale... and the fat scale is pretty much non-existent. We're working on it.
Makenna ate an entire 4oz container of blueberries while we were grocery shopping yesterday. Then she ate another entire 4oz container after dinner. Then this morning she ate 1/2 a 4oz container. She's gonna poop blueberries today! hahaha That kid LOVES her blueberries, strawberries, grapes and bananas. She's such a good little eater. She loves eggs and bacon, loves fruit, and will eat the living hell out of peas (why do they have to be a legume?? I LOVE PEAS!!!). She's not a big veggie fan, but we're working on it. She does ok eating meat too - she's really good at eating pork chop, but last night she wanted nothing to do with dinner at all, so blueberries it was.
Did I tell you all that my SIL is opening a daycare and my MIL is going to work for her? Brad and I have decided to move Makenna to SIL's daycare to help her out, but I'm a little conflicted by the whole marijuana vaporizer thing MIL uses... I would like to trust that she won't use it while caring for the kids - but how do you ask that question to know for sure without implying that you don't trust them not to? *sigh* SIL takes childcare very seriously, so I would assume that I can trust she won't let MIL do it, but she's also very supportive of MIL's marijuana use. In fact, she's the one who connected her to the dealer to supply it. But, on another note, marijuana is nearly legal - I guess Iowa has a bill in place to make it legal now after Colorado paved the road. If it becomes legal, do I even have an argument against it anymore? I guess it would be like not wanting to leave my kids with someone who's drunk... but I've never seen her use it and have never been able to tell if she's used it, so how would I even know at this point? I hope they do make it legal and it becomes expensive as hell!! Like double or triple the price that people pay now. Anyhow, that's my one major hangup. The other is that she won't have "preschool" anymore, so I'm hoping to get her into the 3 year old preschool program at the elementary school. Only problem is that it fills up SUPER FAST! I have a reminder set on my phone for 7:00 the morning of registration so I can call right away and hopefully get her in. If she can get into the preschool, no issues.
The second in command at the current daycare noticed a sign my SIL has posted at the grocery store announcing openings to her new daycare. This lady asked me about it today - asked me if it was SIL doing it. I assume she expects us to pull Makenna. A girl who used to work at the daycare (and who used to babysit for me on the side) says that they treat children differently depending on whether or not there will be younger siblings or whether or not the child is fulltime, etc. She said they're nicer to those who are worth more money... I hope they don't use the possibility that I'll be pulling Makenna as a reason to treat her poorly. Of course, my friend no longer works there, so she can't keep an eye out for me. My son doesn't like going to the daycare b/c he doesn't like the lady who asked about the daycare. She is kind of bitchy... so I don't blame him. lol
Anyhow, I should start working on my paper/powerpoint presentation. Still haven't done anything with it... I hope you all have a great day.
Last week I verbally RSVP'd to the Christmas Party for my last job. Today I bailed... The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was a bad idea to go. Here is my list of reasons (excuses).
1. It costs $20 and Brad and I can find a much better use of $20, especially since I will be attending the party I'm planning and it too costs $20.
2. I would have to take 4 hours of vacation to attend. I really don't like burning leave.
3. I have class that night and my final paper/presentation to complete. That would take 4 hours away from me that could be used for that purpose.
4. I don't know who I'd sit with... last year it was fine b/c my friend still worked there so I sat with her and her wife and a couple other people (can't remember now). She's since been fired so she won't be at the party to accept me as a table sharer. And I'd feel awkward since this same group of people asked me to be a note taker for a big Island-wide celebration and I used school as an excuse to bail midway through the planning. My boss, Bobbie, told them I could help out if I had a bigger role than just note keeper. Since I was never given any tasks, I used school as a reason to bail. Someone else was also taking notes and stealing my thunder anyway, so I bailed. I'd feel awkward walking into the party and sitting with the people who asked me to help with the celebration, knowing I bailed and thinking that they also knew I bailed. Even though I usually did have school work to complete... Confused yet?
Anyway, I decided not to go. I can't help but wonder if that was a foolish idea b/c eventually I'd like to work there again. But, going to the party isn't going to land me any jobs b/c those jobs are all out of my reach because of rank, so.... and last year, even with sitting with Jolene and her wife, I felt awkward. It felt like a high school reunion...
It's better this way for my Whole30 anyway.

All good reasons, I think. My office's holiday party wouldn't cost me anything, but Boyfriend isn't going to be able to take time off work for it (he doesn't get PTO to use anyway, since he's temp). I don't know who I'd sit with. I like the customer service team and chat with them sometimes, but I sit by myself (I'm surrounded by empty cubicles), mostly for the view (lots of sunlight), and don't talk to people for most of the day unless I need to actually fix something. It's probably my own fault that I don't have any office "friends".
The party isn't till January, but I need to RSVP by the 14th of Dec. I'm thinking I won't bother if it gives me any anxiety.

I'm a biology/pre-med major at Franciscan University of Steubenville and felt the need to express my joy upon reading this article. Attending a medical school with little to no morals/religious perspective is quite daunting but the society of Sts. Cosmas and Damien increases my hope for Catholics hoping to enter the health profession but concerned that they will have no outlet for their faith and no understanding among their peers. Thank you.

A lot. I'm not sure of the exact amount but water is all I drink....I love water!
I usually drink 1/2 or so. And also eat foods with a high water content
Posted on CafeMom Mobile
Enough to make my urine clear :) Usually that is at least 48 ounces, sometimes more sometimes less. Clear urine is what my ob told me to look for when I was pregnant with odd, and that is what I still look for :)
I usually end up drinking at least 100 ounces a day sometimes more. I really don't drink much else unless I happen to have a soda.

BLAIRSBURG - Always on the defensive, always retreating - not much fun for a volleyball team.
Northeast Hamilton didn't have much fun in its Iowa Star Conference finale here last night.
With a quick-strike attack in the middle and bombers on the outside, fourth-ranked (Class 1A) Janesville simply had too much weaponry for the Trojets in a 3-0 sweep, 25-7, 25-11, 25-8.

Northeast Hamilton senior Sarah Elm (2) comes up with one of her four digs last night during the Trojets' 3-0 loss to No. 4-ranked (Class 1A) Janesville in Blairsburg. NEH is 8-16 overall on the season and finished 4-4 in the ISC.
Northeast Hamilton finished 4-4 in the conference and sits at 8-16 overall heading into next Thursday's final regular season match against CWL.
"Playing a team like Janesville is frustrating ... it definitely feels like all night you're getting pounded at and whether you dig it up or not is the question," NEH head coach Kacey Pruismann said. "They are such good serve receivers too that even when we had the serve we always felt like we were on the defensive."
The Trojets finished with just five kills. Freshman Andi Anderson delivered four of them and Jennifer Jeffers tacked on one.
Fact Box
Kills - NEH: Andi Anderson 4, Jennifer Jeffers 1.
Blocks - NEH: Kaylee Massman 1, Anderson 2.
Digs - NEH: Molly Greenfield 6, Sarah Elm 4, Jeffers 9, Massman 8, Jaidyn Timm 8, Anderson 7.
Assists - NEH: Elm 3, Greenfield 1.
Serving - NEH: Greenfield 4-4; Elm 6-7; Jeffers 4-4; Massman 5-5; Timm 1-2; Taylor Olson 2-2; Anderson 3-3.
NEH piled up the digs though - 42 in all - and that pushed Janesville (25-6, 7-1 ISC), particularly in the opening two sets.
"The scores really didn't reflect how well I thought we played," Pruismann said. "There was a lot of volleying going on, but they were able to finish off more of them."
Jeffers collected nine digs to pace the squad, and Kaylee Massman and Jaidyn Timm both finished with eight. Anderson chipped in seven, Molly Greenfield six.
The victory gave Janesville control of the runner-up spot in the final league standings behind four-time defending state champion and third-ranked Tripoli.

Review: Samsung Galaxy Tab for Verizon
In this review I'm specifically covering Verizon's flavor of the Galaxy Tab, but my experiences are largely applicable to any Galaxy Tab, outside of coverage and cost issues. Of course there are some custom apps and each carrier is attempting to create unique features or content so their Tabs will stand out from the rest, but essentially, a Tab is a Tab.
Up front costs are an issue, specifically for those heading to an AT&T or Verizon Store. Neither are offering contract subsidies (like the $200 savings T-Mobile and Sprint are pushing). But VZW customers will save over AT&T loyalists, who will have to cough up $649 for the device. Big Red is selling theirs for $599; take it or leave it. Of course, all of these numbers don't take into account Black Friday and other holiday bargains. Monthy data (there is no telephony option) starts at $20 for 1GB.
Samsung Galaxy Tab (site)
Perhaps more important than cost is the issue of whether or not you actually need a tablet computer. I personally own a super phone, a laptop computer, and an e-reader. For me, the Tab is an expensive toy (albeit a powerful one) that I can easily live without. In fact, I rarely used it outside of the context of researching for this review. When I did, it was a great deal of fun but I just don't have a need for such a thing in my life. If I didn't have an e-reader I might consider purchasing a Tab, but at these price points, they really are just a fancy and luxurious vehicle for completing tasks and engaging in entertainment that are usually handled by some other gadget in the standard arsenal. If I were looking for an e-reader, I would buy an e-reader. That's my take on the necessity of these devices, but perhaps your life has a niche mine doesn't, or maybe you are hopelessly addicted to tech and have the scratch to spare. Alright, let's continue then.
Samsung has done an excellent job of dressing up Android for the bigger screen, and you'll find some of the modifications actually carry over from the S series of phones. Mostly, you just have more space, which can be both freeing and excessive.
My favorite carry-over from the S series of phones is Samsung's Touch Wiz strip of shortcuts, which resides in the drop-down notifications bar. Wi-Fi-Bluetooth, and other shortcuts are implemented so practically that it's a wonder others haven't jumped on this idea. Where you can simply slide your finger left and right across the notifications bar for ribbon controller-like brightness adjustment on the Galaxy S phones, a slider substitutes in the drop-down on the Tab. The rest of the UI–aside from from blue app decoration and such–feels like vanilla Android, with a 5X5 unit grid for icon placement on the home screens.
Form Factor
The Tab packs a 7″ display (see it in sunlight here: Galaxy Tab sunlight visibility) and measures in at 190.09 X 120.45 X 11.98 mm and 380 grams. It's possible to fit this thing inside the pocket that lines a sports coat or even halfway into the back pocket of a pair of jeans, but neither are comfortable or safe places to be carrying such a thing. You'll find plenty of fan sites that praise the Tab's portability, but unless you have free room in your purse or laptop/messenger bag, expect the Tab to require your constant attention on a day's journey. A lot of that time will be spent staring at the screen, but if you take the tablet for a day around town, you're likely to be caring for it like you would any delicate, precious thing that's worth a lot of money.
The keyboard is too wide in portrait or landscape modes or me to use thumbs for tapping and is too small to use like a laptop keyboard so it's a good thing Tab comes with the innovative Swype keyboard installed. Even so, at this scale, talented Swypers will require a bit of adjustment. Jump to the 7 minute point in my hands on video to see what I mean:
Two areas where the Tab really stands out are HD gameplay and video playback. If there's anything that can justify lugging the Tab around, it's definitely games and movies. With Samsung's Media Hub on board, renting movings is just too easy, as is watching them. Other than a case to carry it in, something the Tab demands within a day or two of use is some sort of stand. I have only tested one, but it is functional, light, and affordable (which might be more important to you after dropping a chunk of change on a Tab). I'm using Arkon's IPM-TAB1, which goes for $17.95. (Dedicated review of the Arkon IPM-TAB1)
Video Chat
I have yet to complete a successful video chat on my Galaxy Tab and this is primarily due to the fact that the version of Qik it downloads from the Market has no option to initiate a video chat. I'm using a review loaner, so I do not have access to the VCast Apps that other VZW Tab owners will have, so my feedback here is not indicative of the average experience. It is important to mention that I tried to get video chat working on several occassions and was not successful. Dustin's T-Mobile Tab has Qik (powered by T-Mobile), which does provide the option to initiate chats, and it works for him. For my sake, we decided to try out Fring, the new Yahoo! IM with video chat, and I don't know what else. While he can chat with others, and while we did get audio and shoddy, one-way video operational, I haven't experienced a full-fledged video chat on my Tab. Again, your experience will probably differ from mine on this front.
If you have the cash to spend on this sexy device, the Galaxy Tab will not disappoint. The hardware is beautiful, the display rocks, and it's just a barrel of fun to use. But if you simply lust after cool tech and aren't quite sure where this thing fits into your life, that's probably because it doesn't. The Tab won't replace any other piece of gear (an e-reader being the unlikely exception) and other gadgets (that you probably already have) can match its capabilities. The monthly costs are reasonable but the up front price is hefty. I don't know very many people who couldn't spend $600 on things that they genuinely need. But if you grabbed one of these for a gift or couldn't resist a Black Friday bargain, I think you'll find very little to regret, at least as far as product satisfaction goes. The sate of your bank account and other financial affairs are another matter.

Video games can improve baseball skills.
Or, to be more specific, playing the basic baseball game and Mario Super Sluggers on the Nintendo Wii system can improve hand-eye coordination for the actual, outdoor game.
It's not a piece of advice you're likely to hear from a coach, teacher, parent or child-development expert, who tend to link video games to obesity and too much time indoors.
But in the case of my 10-year-old son, a video game made him want to get some healthy outdoor exercise.
The other day, my son asked me to go outside and play baseball with him. I was pleasantly surprised. It was literally the first time he had shown interest in playing a non-video baseball game since he was 6.
First, we played catch in the backyard, and his throwing and catching had improved significantly since the last time I had seen him play. His throws were often accurate and he was frequently able to catch the ball.
Then we took our bats, gloves and balls to our neighborhood playground and I threw him some pitches. The last time I had played with him, he couldn't hit a pitch, but now he was hitting the ball hard around the field.
I asked if he'd been playing at school. No, he said, explaining that he's gotten better as a result of playing the basic Wii baseball and Mario Super Sluggers for Wii.
In both games, a player must time the swinging of a bat -- in the form of a plastic video-game controller -- to when a ball crosses home plate on a TV screen.
I can vouch that my son is quite good at the video version of baseball, as he's beaten me by huge margins every time we've played. But I had no idea this would translate into skill at the outdoor game.
My son had been enthusiastic about real baseball back in kindergarten, when we signed him up to play T-ball in Little League. But he lasted for just two practices and one game.
During the game, one of his friends got hit hard with a batted ball while he was running the bases. He cried and had to be removed from the game. The boy wasn't seriously injured, but the incident frightened my son and he insisted on dropping out of Little League. We couldn't change his mind.
Four years later, he's suddenly regained interest. No, he's not going to be the next Derek Jeter or Alex Rodriguez, and because our society insists on rushing kids through childhood as quickly as possible, it's almost certainly too late for him to try to compete in Little League against kids who have stuck it out since kindergarten.
But it's not too late for him to enjoy playing the game informally out on the playground, and thanks to Nintendo Wii, he's finally doing that.
Video games have the reputation as one of the great evils of our time. Yet it was a video game that made my son go outdoors to enjoy America's national pastime. What could be less evil than that?

The Krewe of Endymion announced it will roll Sunday, behind Bacchus on its Uptown Mardi Gras parade route, because of strong thunderstorms and heavy rain predicted for Saturday.
Saturday morning Uptown parades, Tucks and Iris, and Nomtoc in Algiers will roll an hour earlier than usual to try to beat the worst of the weather, New Orleans Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas said in a hastily called news conference with Mayor Mitch Landrieu Friday night.
Endymion will follow Bacchus on its traditional route with a slight deviation at the end of the parade. Endymion will parade onto to Canal Street, but it will continue lakebound on Canal to Loyola Avenue where it will turn right and continue to Poydras. The parade will disband at the Superdome.
Krewe officials said celebrity grand marshals Anderson Cooper and Kelly Ripa have agreed to stay over and ride on Sunday and the lead marching band from Alabama A&M will march.
"We would rather be on Orleans Avenue," parade captain Ed Muniz said Friday. "But we're grateful to the other krewes for allowing us to do this. ... It's just going to be a horrendous day tomorrow," he said of Saturday's weather.
The krewe's Endymion Extravaganza ball, will be held Saturday night as scheduled.
"There would have been a lot of people sleeping on Orleans Avenue tonight, but we saved them from that and gave them the chance for a nice dry bed," Muniz said of the thousands who traditionally camp out on city neutral grounds to stake out a parade watching spot.
Trainor and her friends live four blocks from the Mid-City parade route, and it was the first time they had camped out for Endymion. At 8:30 p.m. Friday, they were packing up the camp they had manned for four days while debating whether to move to the Uptown parade route.
"Isn't crazy how many people will be there now," she said anticipating a huge crown for the combined superkrewes.
Rick and Maryanne Fernandez came from Houston to stay with friends who live on Orleans Avenue. They said some of their kids cried when they found out Endymion had been rescheduled. The family has to be home by Monday said they will miss the Sunday night parade.
"We're not going to see any parades this year now. We came just for this parade," she said as they pulled down ladders and other items they had set up to watch the parade. "My daughter said she'd get in a T-bird and throw beads herself to see the parade."
Serpas said Tucks would begin at 10 a.m. today, followed by Iris at 11 a.m., wending through Uptown neighborhoods on their traditional routes.
The Krewe of Nomtoc, which parades in Algiers, will roll at 9:45 a.m., parade captain Orlandez Pierre said.
In the River Parishes, both the Krewe of Towahpasah in Reserve and the Krewe of Lul in Luling said Friday afternoon that they planned to roll as scheduled at 1 p.m.
And Lul captain Debra Dufresne Vial said they will meet at 8 a.m. Saturday with the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office to reassess their plans to roll. Lul is one of the larger parades in the area boasting 69 units including, floats, bands and marching clubs.
"We'll make a determination on whether the weather warrants us to cancel," Vial said. "No way can we parade if it's a public safety issue."
If the parade doesn't roll on Saturday it will be canceled, she said. "There's just no way we could rescheduled this close to Mardi Gras," she said."It's just either go or not. We're crossing our fingers."
In Metairie, the Krewe of Isis announced Thursday that it was moving its parade from Saturday evening to Sunday. It will follow the Corps de Napoleon parade, which will start at 5:30 p.m. on the normal route along Veterans Memorial Boulevard.
The worst of today's weather will occur from noon to 6 p.m., as thunderstorms — some severe — form over the area in advance of a strong cold front, said Shawn O'Neil, a meteorologist with the weather service's Slidell office. Temperatures will reach the mid-70s this afternoon.
"The biggest threat will be from straight-line wind gusts and lightning," O'Neil said, with gusts of 60 to 70 mph possible in the most severe thunderstorms, and winds of 40 to 50 possible in the smaller storms.
The heaviest rainfall should disappear as the cold front passes through New Orleans tonight, with skies clearing overnight and temperatures dropping to around 50 .
Sunny skies will dominate on Sunday and Lundi Gras, accompanied by temperatures in the 60s, while partly cloudy skies return on Mardi Gras as the thermometer climbs to the mid-70s. While there's a 20 percent chance of scattered showers on Tuesday, any rainfall is likely to occur in the afternoon or evening.
Another cold front will trigger more rainfall on Wednesday night and Thursday, O'Neil said.

RIO DE JANEIRO: Its not just the All India Football Federation but the sports governing body FIFA is also doing its bit to ensure a smooth conduct of the Under-17 World Cup, earmarking around USD 38 million for the marquee event to be hosted by the sleeping giant in 2017.
For the U-17 World Cup in 2017, FIFA officials have told us that they have kept around USD 38 million for organizational purpose only, AIFF vice-president Subhas Chopra said.
For the two-day congregation, Chopra was accompanied by treasurer Hardev Jadeja and executive committee member Ankur Dutta as part of an AIFF delegation. The federations President Praful Patel could not attend the congress.
Blatter is very committed to helping India stage a successful tournament and we are getting a lot of support form the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) also in this regard, he added.
As part of its various development initiatives, FIFA closed in on India after it beat Ireland, South Africa, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan to win the bid in the executive committee meeting last December.
FIFA was convinced after the erstwhile UPA government gave all the necessary guarantees and complied with the strict norms laid down by the sporting body.
Meanwhile, a two-member delegation from FIFA recently visited the eight prospective venues in the country, including the Nehru Stadium in Fatorda, Margao, with Goa reportedly expressing willingness to stage the final of the major tournament.
AIFF winning the bid was seen as a historic development for Indian football, with both former and current players giving their thumbs-up to the event.
Thrilled at the development, some former Indian greats, including I M Vijayan, said it will help the game come up in India, a few others cautioned the administrators to carry out work related to the event properly as the world would be watching the country.PTI

Ultimately, Chatmans Trojans finished higher than Ruckers Eagles, as Oly was the runner-up on the boys side to league champs Peninsula, 156.50-121.50. Klahowyas boys were eighth with 44 points.

Also leads gynecologic oncology program at the Women's Medicine Collaborative
Christina Bandera, M.D. has been appointed chief of obstetrics and gynecology at Rhode Island and The Miriam hospitals. In this role she will provide
medical, administrative and quality oversight of the department. She assumed her new post on July 1, 2013.
Bandera is board-certified in both obstetrics and gynecology, as well as gynecologic oncology, and her clinical and research interests include treatment
and prevention of gynecologic cancers. She also has a special interest in minimally invasive and robotic surgery.
"Our goal is to provide coordinated, multi-specialty care for woman at all stages of their life," said Karen Rosene Montella, M.D., Lifespan's senior vice
president for women's services and clinical integration. "Dr. Bandera is an accomplished physician, surgeon and educator, and her leadership, vision and
unquestioned expertise will provide new dimensions to the enhanced OB/GYN program."
Bandera also leads the Center for Gynecologic Cancers at the Women's Medicine Collaborative, Rhode Island's largest multidisciplinary center dedicated to
the unique health needs of women. The Center provides specialized, cutting-edge surgical and non-surgical options for women diagnosed with, or at high risk
for, cancers of the reproductive system, including cervical, uterine, ovarian, vaginal, vulvar and fallopian tube cancers.
The Center for Gynecologic Cancers partners with the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Rhode Island Hospital, The Miriam Hospital and Newport Hospital,
offering patients access to a vast array of resources and clinical expertise.
Ours is also the only gynecologic oncology service in Rhode Island that provides care in full-service academic hospitals," said Rosene Montella. "This
is critical, considering many patients h
ave additional health problems, such as heart disease or diabetes, which may require expertise outside the field of gynecologic oncology. Having these
other medical services under the same roof means we are positioned to respond quickly to meet all of our patients' medical needs."
This spring, Lifespan and the Women's Medicine Collaborative announced a new partnership with OB/GYN Associates, Inc., one of the state's largest
obstetrics and gynecology practices. The alliance will create a cohesive group of providers and establish a comprehensive, one-stop resource to meet the
health care needs of all women. The providers will officially join Lifespan on August 1.
Bandera is a member of the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists and the American Association for Gynecologic Laparoscopy, and is also the gynecologic
oncology editor for the international journal Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation. A graduate of Harvard University, she received her medical
degree from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and completed her postgraduate training at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts
General Hospital. Bandera also held fellowships at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona. She was
previously the director of robotic surgery at Women & Infants Hospital, and has won numerous teaching awards for her work with medical students and

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland State easily dismissed Rio Grande, 86-57, in the Vikings' homecourt men's basketball debut Tuesday night, just two days after pulling the first major college upset of the season at Vanderbilt.
Senior swingman D'Aundray Brown led the Vikings with 24 points and nine rebounds before 1,871 fans in the Wolstein Center as the Vikings played without senior starting center Aaron Pogue, who was sick and not on the bench until just before the end of the first half.
The 6-4 Brown (wrist injury) has clearly used a red-shirt season to not only get bigger, but has a more compact jump shot to go along with his tenacious defense. While he has yet to finish a season in his CSU career due to injury, this may be the exception.
"I can physically hold up," he said, dismissing a cramp that had him limping at the end of his 31 minutes of action. "Not playing at the [power forward] spot is helping me a lot. Being with the guards is big for me."
The Vikings made good use of five steals to build a 14-6 lead, as the NAIA's Red Storm struggled with the home team's length and quickness. But once Rio Grande gained some patience, they rallied to a 17-all deadlock at the 10-minute mark. Slowly the turnovers and steals began to mount as CSU's lead finally reached double digits as the Vikings lead, 40-27, at the break.
The offensive catalyst continued to be Brown. The swingman had six rebounds, six steals and 13 points at the break. He did not just hit long pull-up jumpers, but scored off steals under the basket, on offensive rebounds and stick-backs from Viking misses.
Combine Brown's efforts with CSU's tenacious full-court defense (11 steals, 16 Rio Grande turnovers by intermission) and the outcome was not in doubt for a team that upset then-No. 7 Vanderbilt just two days prior.
The Vikings (2-0) now point to an upcoming test that begins at home Friday against St. Bonaventure, which returns a veteran team.
"That is a very big team coming in here, a tough one," head coach Gary Waters said.
Then there's seven straight road games starting at Kent State on Tuesday, then on to the Ticket City Legends Classic in Rhode Island against Boston University, Hofstra and Rhode Island next weekend.
Freshmen Ike Nwamu did not play due to a concussion suffered recently in practice, Waters said. Freshman Marlin Mason also did not play, and the plan is to give the 6-6 forward his red-shirt to transition to playing small forward.
"But I'm itching to play him," Waters conceded.

BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis. -- A Jackson County jury finds a Melrose man guilty of the brutal sexual assault of a woman for more than 15 years.
Rodney Tollefson , 41, was arrested in May 2011 after an investigation by Jackson County and Manitowoc County authorities.
The investigation that began in April 2011 showed Tollefson brutally and repeatedly sexually assaulted the young woman from the time she was four,in 1995, until 2009
The woman testified about the graphic memories of the assaults at Tollefson's trial this week.
The jury took three hours to find Tollefson guilty of 36 felony counts, including repeated child sexual assault and first-degree sexual assault.
Tollefson will be sentenced at a later date.
He also faces four felony second-degree sexual assault charges and a felony false imprisonment charge in Manitowoc County. Tollefson is accused of sexually assaulting the same woman in that county, most recently during Christmas 2010.
Tollefson's nephew, Phillip Ronning, who was also charged for assaulting the woman in Jackson County with his uncle, was sentenced in October 2011 to 30 years in prison and 10 years extended supervision.
Ronning pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting and beating the woman with Tollefson in a secluded area in August 2010.

In Which Phillips and McD Weep OpenlyMay 19, 2008 – 12:01 am by admin
Sad news out of San Diego, baseball fans. Staff ace and resident grunter (seriously, listen to him pitch) Jake Peavy is going to miss his next start with "discomfort in his elbow." I mean, the Padres already suck so, better safe than sorry.
But everyone knows this is how it all starts. It's one start, then another, then it's a stint on the disabled list then it's Tommy John surgery.
Peavy is a max-effort pitcher and his delivery is kinda violent, so this was probably inevitable at some point. That doesn't mean it doesn't suck for Padres fans like Phillips and McD. Poor bastards.
My advice: Get Peavy as far away from Mark Prior as you possibly can. It's that simple. Or maybe Prior will teach Peavy how to really work that towel toss thing he does as part of his rehab. It's working out reallllly good, isn't it Mark?

There is a massive fig tree growing in my backyard. Every July, I race out there to harvest the crop before squirrels and birds ravage the offerings.
This year's crop is bountiful and I'm overloaded with fig-goodness.
So we have fig-kabobs, fig shrimp, fig gumbo, fig sandwiches...
Here's the latest offering from my kitchen. A summer twist on Thanksgiving's favorite.
Pan seared chicken breast with fig and honey glaze, dressing and green beans.
Since the figs were free this meal cost $3.75 for a family of five. That's a pretty good deal right?
It took me 30 minutes to cook it.
Let me give you the breakdown and recipes on the jump:
The boneless, skinless chicken breasts pack of 8 on sale this week for $5.49 at Aldi.
(cooked 4) at 69 cents a breast.
Figs were free and already had the honey
Green beans, 1 can, 49 cents Aldi
A generic brand of Stove Top dressing at Aldi clearanced this week for 50 cents.
Total is $3.75
I thawed the chicken in the microwave, then cooked it in the skillet with lime juice, salt and pepper.
While chicken was cooking:
I mixed a honey, butter and figs mixture and placed in the oven at 300 degrees for 10 minutes.
Microwaved the dressing (6 minutes)
Microwaved the green beans (5 minutes)
Plated the chicken with fig glaze, dressing and green beans.
The fig and honey glaze was a sweet and savory mix that replaced cranberry sauce.
Figs at fruit stands usually run about $2 for a cup of about 20.
They are more expensive at Whole Foods and Publix.

'Hands on the Land' teaches science
For years, elementary school students have learned about natural and heritage resources through programs at BLM's San Joaquin River Gorge.
This year, 19 middle school and high school students from the Sierra Unified School District worked and learned through a new, month-long, "Hands on the Land" Summer Science program. (text continues below)
Students collect water samples along the San Joaquin River
Students laid their hands on the land by building trails, cleaning up debris, improving riparian habitat and performing other maintenance work. They visited a hydropower generating plant and collected water samples along the river to learn about the environment and uses of the river.
"This program was so valuable because the students were exposed to many types of projects and resources. They got their hands dirty, learning by doing," said Tracy Rowland, BLM San Joaquin Gorge manager.
The program benefited both BLM and the students, she explained. "We got a lot of our maintenance backlog taken care of that we couldn't have done any other way," she said. In addition to the environmental education, students learned leadership and problem-solving skills and how to work as a team. "They did a lot of work under very hard conditions," she said. Temperatures reached 110 degrees some days.
She has seen students who participate in the educational programs at the Gorge form an emotional attachment to the land and some have said they want to work in natural resource jobs.
Stephanie Cobb with the school district, said the program was a success from the schools' perspective. The district started with 12 students enrolled and added seven more who asked to participate. They are looking at ways to expand the program next year based on students' interest.
