In the first of a new series, Bella Lambourne, HR and Operations Director for Endemol Shine UK, gives us her view on the state of diversity in the industry.
We are set for a busy and exciting year ahead here at Endemol Shine UK. As a company it is our aim to ensure that diversity is at the heart of everything we do. However, we still believe a huge importance must be placed on initiatives, partnerships and practices to guarantee that the industry represents those from all social backgrounds.
We fully support the rollout of Diamond which we hope will revolutionize how we monitor diversity both on and off screen and we hope it will bring real change in the television industry as a whole. Training has begun for many of our staff on how to implement the practice and we are looking forward to launching this across our productions in the next few months.
With the imminent launch of Diamond we thought we would take this opportunity to share with you our activity in a number of other schemes.
Focusing on entry level is our partnership with Mama Youth. Last year we sponsored eight young people through a training period and two month paid placement with ourselves. It's great to hear that half of those that took part are now working on productions here at Endemol Shine UK and we are confident the other brilliant trainees will follow suit either here or at other production companies. We have a networking event planned for June and will be partnering again with Mama Youth on their next cohort joining later this year.
Last year we made significant changes to our work experience practice to alleviate the geographical/financial and connectivity barriers. Each year we now offer 40, centrally funded, two-week work experience placements at the weekly London living wage. These will be allocated primarily to those who have come to us on their own initiative and who don't have pre-existing connections . We have so far allocated 10 of these in addition to the 8 Mama Youth roles.
Meanwhile we are continuing with our established mentoring schemes and the Executive Producer fast track programme as well as holding back a discretionary diversity fund for any opportunities such as job shadowing or training.
We are continuing with our partnerships with cross-industry schemes such as Creative Access and Arrival Education as well the Creative Diversity Network and the PACT Indie Diversity Scheme, to name but a few.
Diversity is vital for the growth in creativity for a television industry that represents all parts of the UK, and the CDN has an active role in helping independent production companies make the changes needed. We look forward to continuing to work with them on many more important initiatives though out this year.

I got introduced to digital marketing at my first job, which was all about SEO. Being a delicate little creative rosebud, I found it extremely boring - up until the moment I was able to fully take in the larger picture! Since then, I read, write, and do anything I can that's even remotely tied to digital marketing. I've helped businesses, small and large, set up their content strategies, held copywriting courses, and wrote extensively in and about the field. Check out my blog (I'll start posting regularly soon, I promise!) or send me an email, even if it is just to say hi!

This is part of the recipe Chicken Wings Five Ways.
Leave a Review
Definitely one of the best Red Thai Curry recipes ever...I used a prepared red thai curry paste, coconut oil instead of vegetable oil and double the recipe. Made the sauce separately. I was surprised at its simplicity.Seared the chicken in coconut oil.Cooked cabbage, carrots in the oil left over from the chicken then added the sweet potatoes and red peppers. Try to sear them all a bit before added this delicious sauce...served on basmati with a healthy sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Not only will I make it again, but it¿s as solid a keeper as they come. There are a million variations on this kind of sauce, but (with the addition of some minced ginger with the garlic) this will definitely be my go-to Thai curry sauce. For a really easy and low-dish dinner, I made the sauce first, using only one can of [lite] coconut milk but also a cup of chicken broth and simmering to about 2.5 cups. Removed the sauce, then used the same pan to cook up a bunch of veggies (mushrooms, zucchini, sweet red pepper & onion were a great mix) and some fish (chicken, tofu, other proteins or nothing would be fine too) in sesame and canola oil. Just before serving, added the sauce back just to make sure it¿s all warm. Chopping the veggies & fish while the sauce was simmering made this a quick and low-dish dinner. Could even be great for company because in addition to being delicious & pretty, you can also do lots of the prep (making sauce & chopping veggies) before they get there. Goes great with rice or noodles, and next time might think about garnishes of scallions, crushed peanuts, cilantro, lime wedges...
Sauce was easy and quite good. I didn't have enough limes for 3 T but the 1 lime I juiced was just right. Also, did not add the cilantro. Instead of chicken wings, I served it over braised chicken thighs and brown rice - excellent combination. What to do with the leftover coconut milk? I stirred a little into my breakfast oatmeal, along with minced crystallized ginger for a different take on oatmeal.
Added pineapple with chicken - Amazing recipe with no other changes necessary.
This sauce is delicious! No changes needed...

The dual carriageway goes from 70 to 50, I was too busy talking to my mate and didn't realise.. Just my luck a mobile speed camera van, anyway.. Assuming, worst possible scenario I may of been doing 80 in a 50, that would give me a court date.. So, Have i fucked myself totally in the ass? If i get given a court date surely that's 5 year's rehabilitation period before I can re-join.. Think i'd rather die! Nervous 2 weeks wait ahead of me.

The football season blends into the holiday season now, a time for planning bowl trips, or wondering what went wrong, or both. December has become an odd time of the season, a holdover from an era that considered bowl games to be warm-weather rewards, not national championship playoffs. It is a time for the industry to try, sometimes successfully, to perpetuate a premise that has built stadiums and created costly sporting empires: the idea that the quality of an educational institution is related to the success of its athletic teams.
That premise took two more serious hits this weekend, when Eddie Robinson formally entered retirement and John Mackovic was informed he was reassigned. They have operated in different worlds; Robinson as the symbol of Grambling State University, Mackovic as a tolerated, but never accepted, coach at the University of Texas. Last weekend, they had two things in common -- losing records and departures that were not on their terms.
Now, the reality is that the quality of a university's leadership is reflected by its ability to ignore the grumbling of yahoos. The lines between college and professional teams have never been more blurred.
They have deals with the same networks. Their uniforms include logos of the same shoe companies. Allegedly knowledgeable followings at Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Penn State, among others, have booed unpaid athletes. Casualties in the coaching business go back and forth from one level of play to another, with the difference being that a college coach cannot make use of the waiver wire.Continue reading the main story
The truth is that none of them are immune from the grumbling. Lou Holtz left Notre Dame a year ago saying little more than it was the right thing to do, but there were clear signs that he felt unappreciated by a school that gained millions as a result of his presence. Penn State fans grumbled that Joe Paterno lost his mind in 1993 after an unsuccessful goal-line sequence in a loss to Michigan, and discovered how smart he became just one season later, when the Nittany Lions went undefeated. The fans can't be happy after the Lions allowed 596 yards in Saturday's blowout loss at Michigan State, costing them a trip to New Orleans.
If Robinson had stayed on too long at Grambling, his status could have been settled without the embarrassing public display of a year ago. If Mackovic's 1997 record of 4-7 was considered a bump in the road for a program that had won three consecutive conference championships, the Texas administration had an opportunity to take a stand.
But there was no way that would happen. Because at those places that have made the biggest investments, financial and emotional, football is ego. Once the Longhorns' 63-point loss to U.C.L.A. early this season became ugly, Mackovic's chances of survival were gone. The absence of any National Collegiate Athletic Association rules problems at Texas, and the significant improvement of the program's academic record under Mackovic, became insignificant.
That has been how Texas has done business since 1937, when Dana X. Bible was hired for the outrageous salary of $15,000, nearly double the amount earned by the university president. The Texas mind-set never changed, but everything else did. The days of stockpiling talent were ended by the creation of scholarship limitations. All those Texas Exes who think Gary Barnett can do better, or Butch Davis or Mack Brown, should check out the landscape.
Notre Dame celebrated its narrow victory over Hawaii late Saturday, made possible by Scott Cengia's 20-yard field goal with five seconds to play. The Irish appeared thrilled to have earned the possibility of a bowl game in Jacksonville, Fla., or El Paso, or Shreveport, La., or Pontiac, Mich., far from where championships are settled. Alabama has bottomed out just five years after a national championship season. Southern California, once the Rose Bowl's home team, is an afterthought. Miami and Oklahoma, which competed at the very top a decade ago, have crashed, partly as a result of penalties for N.C.A.A. rules violations.
Look at the places that have seen struggles turn to excellence. Bob Toledo, far from the first choice at U.C.L.A. after the sudden departure of Terry Donahue two years ago, saw the Bruins lose 8 of his first 13 games, including an 0-2 start this season. They haven't lost since. Brown's North Carolina teams had records of 1-10 in his first two seasons, and lost five games as recently as two years ago. Lloyd Carr's first two seasons as head coach at Michigan extended an unwanted streak of four-loss seasons to four years. A Rose Bowl victory would give his Wolverines the school's first national championship in 49 years.
Mackovic will not have the chance for a similar ending. He was better off in the National Football League, where the rules are more clearly defined and the goals are not obscured by empty rhetoric about some higher moral ground. The new direction the University of Texas has chosen should go far beyond the selection of a new football coach.Continue reading the main story

UPDATED: AT&T to Offer Discounted Internet Service for Low-Income Consumers, Pending DIRECTV Merger
See 7/22/15 Update below! On July 2, AT&T offered to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to create a new "affordable, lower-priced, standalone broadband service to low-income consumers in AT&T's footprint" if the company's proposed merger with DIRECTV is approved by the FCC. The request to create the program was made by FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn, who has long championed and promoted broadband adoption initiatives. As proposed, for the next four years, AT&T will offer discounted broadband service to qualifying low-income consumers that do not currently subscribe to AT&T DSL service or are not...Read More Share

Kelly's Camping Trip: A Connect Ohio Technical Assistance Blog
Recently, I traveled to Carroll County, Ohio, with fellow Connect Ohio staff members, Bart Winegar and Brad Ingles, to assist camps in the area with Internet coverage. Camp Muskingum in Carroll County offers beautiful trees, a picturesque façade, and a shimmering lake . . . but no Internet service and often very little cell service. To some this probably sounds like a vacation and the opportunity to disconnect for a few days; for others, this unwanted luxury is a daily reality and challenge. It wasn't until I reached the campgrounds that I learned how difficult these aspects of Mother Nature can make broadband expansion projects...Read More Share
Demand Aggregation in Action: A Connect Ohio Technology Update Blog
Last Tuesday, I had the opportunity to spend the day with Bart Winegar, Senior Manager for Technical Assistance at Connect Ohio, and explore the issue of demand aggregation in an unserved area of Zanesville, Ohio.

Since Bart's last blog, a resident who had reached out to Connect Ohio has built a communications tower near the side of his house. This tower was equipped with special radios from a local Wireless Internet Service Provider (...Read More Share

HEAR What is the Higher Education Access Route (HEAR) The Higher Education Access Route (HEAR) is a college and university admissions scheme which offers places at reduced points to school leavers from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. HEAR has been set up by a number of colleges and universities as evidence shows that socio-economic disadvantage can have a negative effect on how well a student does at school and whether they go on to college. Who is it for? School leavers who have the ability to benefit from and succeed in higher education and who come from socio economic groups in Irish society that are under-represented in third level education.
Applicant Requirements You must give satisfactory evidence of your socio-economic circumstances (family income, schools attended, medical card etc) and meet the minimum entry (matriculation) and subject requirements of the colleges or university to which you are applying.. You will then compete for one of a quota of places based on your Leaving Certificate results.
Participating Colleges and Universities: Dublin City University Dublin Institute of Technology NUI Galway NUI Maynooth Trinity College Dublin University College Cork University College Dublin University of Limerick Church of Ireland College of Education Church of Ireland College of Education Froebel College of Education Colaiste Mhuire, Marino Institute of Education Colaiste Mhuire, Marino Institute of Education Mary Immaculate College, Limerick Mary Immaculate College, Limerick Mater Dei Institute of Education National College of Ireland Pontifical University, Maynooth St. Angela's College, Sligo St. Patrick's College, Drumcondra St. Patrick's College, Drumcondra
Supports for HEAR Students As well as receiving a reduced points place, HEAR Students may also receive a variety of academic, personal and social supports while studying at third level. Each college and university will decide what supports it can offer depending on its policies, practices and the resources available to it. Examples of the type of supports available include: Orientation programmes to introduce students to university or college Extra tuition if needed Help with study skills and exam preparation One-to-one meetings with student advisors, Social gatherings, Mentoring Advice about grants and scholarships Bursaries when available.

DARE The Disability Access Route to Education (DARE) is a college and university admissions scheme which offers places on a reduced points basis to school leavers with disabilities. DARE has been set up by a number of colleges and universities as evidence shows that disability can have a negative effect on how well a student does at school and whether they go on to college.
What are the benefits of DARE? Students who are eligible for the Disability Access Route to Education (DARE) may secure a place on a reduced points basis. All students with a disability, irrespective of whether they come through DARE or not, are offered a variety of academic, personal and social supports while studying at third level. Individual institutions will determine the nature and delivery of such supports in accordance with their own policies and practices and subject to the availability of resources. The following are examples of the types of supports available: An orientation programme to introduce students to university/college Study skills, extra tuition if required and exam support Access to assistive technology and training One-to-one meetings with support staff, social gatherings and mentoring
How do I apply to DARE? Step 1 You must apply to the CAO at www.cao.ie by 1st February 2011 and indicate that you have a disability/specific learning difficulty on your CAO application form by 1st March 2011. You will then be directed to a separate online Supplementary Information Form which asks for additional information about your disability or specific learning difficulty. Step 2 You must complete Section A (Questions1-4) of the Supplementary Information Form by 1st March 2011. Step 3 You must indicate your wish to be considered for DARE by ticking 'Yes' to Question 5 by 1st March 2011.

Section A – you must complete a Personal Statement which gives your opinion on the academic impact of your disability or specific learning difficulty. Section B – you must return a Second Level Academic Reference completed by your school. This form provides background information on your educational experience and helps to determine appropriate supports at third level. Section C – you must return the Evidence of Disability Form completed by the accepted Medical Consultant/Specialist. This form provides verification of your disability and helps to determine appropriate supports at third level.Medical Consultant/Specialist
How will I know if I'm eligible? Applications to DARE are assessed by professionals in participating Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) who have expertise and an in-depth knowledge of the impact of disability on educational attainment. To assess an applicant's eligibility for DARE, specific criteria have been developed to determine the significance of each disability and the impact on educational attainment. The criteria used for assessing the impact of disability were developed by HEI Assessment Boards, which included HEI professionals and representatives from expert external organisations.
Disabilities that are assessed Screening criteria are applied for each disability Asperger's Syndrome/Autism Attention Deficit Disorder/ Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Blind/ Vision Impaired Deaf/Hearing Impaired Dyspraxia Mental Health Condition Neurological Conditions - Neurological Conditions - Speech and Language DisabilitiesNeurological ConditionsSpeech and Language Disabilities Significant Ongoing Illness Physical Disability Specific Learning Difficulties - Dyslexia - DyscalculiaDyslexiaDyscalculia

Because he was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, Stephenson stands three feet tall, has fragile bones, and must use a wheelchair.
Sean Clinch Stephenson (born May 5, 1979) is an American therapist, self-help author and motivational speaker.When Stephenson was born, doctors quickly recognized the signs of the genetic disorder osteogenesis imperfecta, commonly known as "brittle bone disease". Most of his bones had been broken during the delivery. He was placed in intensive care at Chicago Children's Hospital, and doctors warned his parents that he might die very soon. He survived, but spent much of his youth in pain and experienced the stunted growth and mobility limitations common for people with osteogenesis imperfecta.
Despite all these he choose a life of strength, never to give up, never to let his limitations limit him. Today he is a successful motivational speaker and author.
So far, he has authored two(2) books:
He is happily married to Mindle Kniss
- How You(th) Can Succeed!: Transforming Dreams into Reality for Young Adults (2001)
- Get Off Your "But": How to End Self-Sabotage and Stand Up for Yourself (2009)

Mon Dieu! Au Pied de Cochon's Tourtiere Heads South From Montreal
When the weather turns cold and holiday season kicks into full gear, in French Canada the masses turn to meat pie. Not those modest Cornish pasties found in England, but those super-pregnant beefy tarts with their perfect little vent holes we remember from weekday afternoon cartoons.
Tourtiere, to be exact. The packed pie, whose Canadian lineage dates back to the 1600s, combines meat with meat and more meat, spices and vegetables to flavor and bind that meat, all inside a thick, buttery crust.
So we were filled with gluttonous anticipation when we learned from our friends at Edible Manhattan that tourtiere from Montreal's legendary restaurant Au Pied de Cochon were being made here in New York for Thanksgiving. We were able to score one of roughly 40 pies just before taking off for Turkey Day. They will be available again for Christmas and New Year's, the more traditional time to eat them.
Au Pied de Cochon is a meat eater's mecca, and short of another visit to the James Beard House (the last time was more than a year ago), this is the closest anyone in New York is going to get to eating chef Martin Picard's creations.
The New York pie is the work of Heritage Foods USA team member Sarah Obraitis and husband-to-be Hugue Dufour, Picard's one-time right-hand-man and adventure partner on their Food Network culinary road series.
The pie came about through "happenstance," Obraitis says, the way these sort of things do in New York: boredom, excess and a light-bulb moment.
After filling all her orders for Heritage meat, Obraitis had some leftover guinea hen, pork, turkey, and brisket. Dufour, who has left the restaurant to be in New York, had just finished filming and was moping about looking for a project while preparing for his wedding day later this month. Normally this time of year at Au Pied de Cochon would be spent filling hundreds of tourtiere orders.
"It was the time of the year," Dufour says. "She had incredible meat and it was the perfect occasion to do it. People in Quebec, where I am from, they order 10 at a time. Some crazy people will order 20. When Christmas time kicks in, they will eat that for breakfast. You have tourtiere all the way."
The meats were braised and mixed with ground pork, potatoes, ale, a little brown sugar and spices. "The sort of binding agent is the ground pork," Obraitis says. "The potatoes are shaved. Ground pork and potatoes is the bed."
The two started out by making 11 pies of pork and guinea hen. With the help of friends and the use of a catering kitchen on the Lower East Side, they made another 30 with ground pork, turkey legs, and brisket.
There is no right combination. "There are as many tourtieres as there are cooks," Dufour says.
Adds Obraitis: "You make it with what you have around in the kitchen. Each region has its own version. A meat pie can be just about anything."
If our virginal pie is any indication (moist meat, flaky crust, warm feeling), we like the options.
The couple is taking orders now for Christmas and New Years. As the duo weaves wedding plans with pie making, Obraitis has only one request: "The earlier the better."
The pies come frozen, with heating instructions and a lightly tart homemade cranberry ketchup. At $30 each delivered, they are a bit steep. But show up with a meat pie derived from Picard that's stuffed with Heritage meat and, as we found, you will be a hit for the holidays.

HTC EVO 4G Power Management
The HTC EVO 4G offers new capabilities for a smartphone that require more power, which can impact its battery life more than what you may have experienced using other smartphones.
- It has more radios to power (3G, 4G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS).
- It features a larger screen than most typical smartphones.
- It offers more capabilities than most typical smartphones, including:
- Management of multiple email accounts and syncing
- WiFi access point
- WiFi Router capability
- 4G data
- Access to several 3rd party applications through the Market
- Applications and Processes running in the background
With the HTC EVO 4G, you have the ability to manage your phone's power consumption to optimize its battery life. These include:Battery Usage Tools
Before you are ready to charge your phone you can view what has been using your battery during this charge cycle.
- Settings -> About Phone -> Battery -> Battery use
The multiple radios on this device will use battery life even when you are not using them.
- To improve battery life, turn off your Bluetooth, GPS, 4G, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Sprint Mobile Hotspot if you are not using them.
The 4G radio should only be turned ON when the improved network speed is required for an application, such as YouTube, Web Browsing, or Sprint Mobile Hotspot. When not in use, its important to use the built-in 4G widget (preloaded on Home tile left of center) to turn the 4G radio OFF.
If you have your 4G radio ON, but are no longer in 4G coverage then your device will be scanning in an attempt to re-acquire the 4G network. Your battery can be significantly drained by the scanning processes, so if you know you will be out of 4G coverage for an extended period of time or if you are not acquiring a 4G signal as indicated in the task bar, it would be important to turn your 4G radio OFF.E-mail Applications Settings
The e-mail settings allow you to setup peak and off-peak hours for e-mail sync on each email account.
- Pop Account
- Mail -> Menu -> More -> Settings -> Send & Receive -> Set Download Frequency
- Exchange Account
- Mail -> Menu -> More -> Settings -> Send & Receive -> Schedule
Generally, less frequent syncing equates to better battery life.Google Talk
As soon as you sign up for the Google Market or Gmail with your Gmail account information, you are also signed in to the Google Talk instant messaging application. The Talk application tracks the presence of your Google Talk contacts in order to let you know who is available to instant message. Each presence change uses a small amount of power even if you do not have the Talk application open.
If you have numerous contacts who are changing presence throughout the day all of these small impacts to your battery can add up to significantly shorten your battery life.

Switching between 3G and 4G coverage
Browser app connection warning.
Mail app connection warning.
When switching between 3G and 4G coverage, the HTC EVO 4G may experience a very brief interruption of data service as the device switches network connections. During this brief interruption, applications attempting to access data may be unable to do so and may display an error message. Below are some examples of how to proceed if an error message appears on the device. Other data-usage applications may experience a very brief interruption and will continue functioning once the network handoff is complete.
Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), also known as CMAS, is a part of a national alerting system called IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert and Warning System) that enables emergency management officials to rapidly disseminate the warnings and safety information via text alerts to wireless phones based on the phones' geographic location. The Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA is responsible for receiving the alerting information and forwarding the alerts to participating wireless carriers such as Sprint. Such alerts may come from the President of the United States; the National Weather Service, state or county public safety officials. This system is integrated into the same national alerting services that serve television and radio today.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
Here goes: The phone itself is classy looking. When off, it reminds me of the black stone monolith in 2001, A Space Odyssey. When on, the screen is bright, and has VERY sharp detail (again, I'm coming from the perspective of my Centro). The pinch and spread function (to contract or spread the picture on the screen) works very smoothly and consistently. The "flick" function, used to scroll through apps, is wonderful, don't know how I did without it before. The screen is QUITE sensitive to touch, requiring a bit of getting used to for someone who does not count manual dexterity amongst my assets. Though the phone is big (4.2 inch screen)it is very slender, not heavy, and I don't find it cumbersome in the least. It is comfortable in the hand.
The camera: first, it has two: the heavy duty one (8 megapixel) faces out the back, a 1 megapixel on the keyboard side. In a 4G area (I'm not, yet), this allows video phone calls, I'm told. The camera has autofocus and a surprisingly bright flash. Picture quality seems good to very good.
Sound: I'm a bit hard of hearing, no problems at all with this phone. The sound quality is the best I've ever had on a cell phone. EVO has very few buttons, but it does have a very easy to use up and down volume buttons on the upper left side of the phone, works great.
Keyboard. Well, hmmm. My Centro had a manual keyboard, and if there is anything that I really miss with the EVO, it's actual keys. Though the virtual keyboard is BIG when the phone is tilted to landscape mode, many functions on the phone (including entering contacts!) only allow the portrait keyboard for Qwerty. The phone has three keyboards to choose from, so if you're a whiz with the standard cell phone keyboard that kids are miraculously good at texting with, you can choose that format. I'm getting better, but still quite a few errors in keying.
Speed: in a word: fast. Very little lag between functions, even when more than one function is chugging along.
Voice recognition: the Google search by voice is (for a novice like me) nothing short of a miracle. Say "Quilt stores", and the phone takes into account your GPS location, in seconds a list of quilt stores (or Starbucks, or mountain biking trails)is at your disposal. SO cool! The directory search for phone contacts by voice is a bit more hesitant, could stand some spiffing.
Apps: Holy Cow! Again, I'm a novice, but the very accurate GPS, in conjunction with entertainment apps such as Yelp! and Flixter, is mind-boggling. Touch Flixter, and this very smart phone instantly (NO input required) brings up all theaters, movie times, trailers, Rotten Tomato ratings, AND, all the restaurants in the area of your chosen movie, AND turn by turn directions to the theater thanks to Google Maps. Basically, get off a plane anywhere in North America, you're ready to roll!
The GPS. Eerie, when combined with Google Maps. To navigate, you don't have to enter your starting place, the phone already KNOWS where you are. With a function called "layers", while navigating from point to point you can incorporate a satellite view, giving you an awesome (and distracting!) view of all the territory/buildings around you, for miles, depending on the scale that you choose. Get a (free) sports app, and the GPS/accelerometer kicks in to tell you exactly how far you've gone, maps the route you've taken, tells you how much elevation you've gained (!), and how many calories (incorporating your weight) that you've burned. Crikey, what fun! I used the GPS first day out with my EVO to find a restaurant, than used the voice turn by turn (it does call out specific street names, not just "turn left" or "turn right"). It was flawless, and VERY up to date with recent construction in the area.
WiFi, signed on to my home network without any trouble.
Ability to personalize: terrific, many options to "make it your own".
Synchronization with multiple functions: terrific. No trouble setting up e-mail accounts (you MUST have a Gmail account for full function). I calendar with the online Google calendar on my laptop, the transfer to my phone calendar is automatic and virtually instantaneous.
Bad stuff: they lie if they say that getting all your Palm OS data is going to transfer accurately. Argh. But I'm getting it straightened out. In the "Someday" category: EVO does not support Netflix instant play yet, nor Hulu. I'm a family doc, it DOES support Epocrates, an essential pharmacology data base.
Battery life: I'm guessing 4 hours of continual multi-use, way better than that for talk time only. This multi-function micro-mainframe of an instrument has multiple draws on its battery: GPS, WiFi, AND, you can actually talk on the thing.
So here's my bottom line: If they could give me an easier keyboard, or allow full voice recognition (I use and love Dragon 10.1 at work), EVO and I would become soul mates. As it is, after about a day and a half of adapting to a non-Palm OS system (I had one of the original Palm Pilots), I can tell that a long and fruitful friendship is in the making with this product. The leap from a semi-smart phone, like the Palm Centro, to this one is a quantum leap, not a simple upgrade. Without exaggeration, I can say that the EVO will change the way I operate on a day to day basis. I can also say that it is a whoppingly fun toy to play with!
7/20/2010 Addendum/Update: This is a great phone, and I'll stick by my original statement that it is a quantum leap, not an upgrade, over any previous smart phone that I've owned. BUT...the battery life is a real problem. Even with an App Killer, and even with the GPS and Wi-Fi turned off when I don't need them, well...let's talk car gas mileage and gas mileage for Army tanks. With cars, you describe gas consumption in terms of miles per gallon. With tanks, you describe it in gallons per mile (this is true). If not a tank, the EVO is at least a half-track regarding energy consumption: that little green bar informing you about battery life keeps you mentally tethered to the nearest wall outlet or USB port. I have never run the battery completely down during a workday, but I've come uncomfortably close. There is no question that the value of the EVO would be significantly improved by tripling its battery life, or making replacement/spare batteries available at low cost. Otherwise...I love my Evo!
8-14-2010 Update: The Froyo (Android 2.2) update was simple and flawlessly executed. Even better, it is a substantial improvement. From the very useful Flashlight app that uses the phone's flash LED's as a flashlight, to the quicker transition from one app to another, it's a winner. On a different note, those of you that wonder whether you can "tether" your Evo to your computer as a modem, using a cheap or free one-time app instead of a $29/month fee from Sprint: yes. Which makes the phone even more valuable in hotels and airports that want to charge $10/day for internet, not to mention being on a road trip.
9/30/10 Update: Purchased the Seido battery that has double the capacity of the OEM battery: it's for real! No question whatsoever that I'm going to get through the whole day with power to spare, even leaving Wi-Fi and GPS on, even using the screen for Kindle reading for extended periods. The battery, contrary to what some reviewers have said about it, does significantly add to the weight and thickness of the phone. For me the issue is no contest: I no longer need to know where the nearest electrical socket is, and I have freedom to use all the phone's functions without fear of the color red on the battery bar showing up.
As a proud new owner since Friday I can honestly say the Evo lives up to the hype - and then some.
A warning though: the Evo is much larger than the iPhone and pretty much any other phone out there. For tall/large folks with large
hands this is actually wonderful, but for those who like the tiniest, sleekest toys to go along with their midget hands, this thing isn't it.
Regardless if you live in a Sprint 4G area, you'll pay an extra $10 fee. If you haven't already, you also need to upgrade to one of Sprint's more expensive plans.
Keep in mind that, as with all Androids, you can turn off and/or customize almost any feature you don't like. The Evo is not quite as intuitive to learn as the iPhone but it's also
a lot more capable and powerful. The growing Android app marketplace really helps with this.
Gorgeous, gigantic, super bright, crystal clear screen. Best. Screen. Ever.
Truly fast at everything - apps launch instantly, everything is just "zippy",
Powerful enough to run a bunch of stuff simultaneously without slowing down at all
Very modern and "hip" interface.
Fantastic integration with all things Google (Maps, Gmail, Google Voice, etc.), Social Networks (Friend Stream is amazing), and GPS
Call quality is excellent
WiFi works very well
Touch screen is VERY sensitive and fast. Could be Pro or a Con.
Videos are unbelievably large and crisp on this thing - no other phone comes close yet
Has lots of options and customization features
8 Megapixel camera AND HD video camcorder (!) surprisingly good quality for a phone
Does eBooks very well (need free eBook reader)
Android app market is huge and growing fast. Downloads and installs are super simple and fast.
Everything about this thing is just fast.
Casing/back doesn't show fingerprints or lint much at all (screen is another story, see below)
Did I mention it's FAST?
Battery Life. This makes sense as the gigantic screen by itself likes to eat up juice when in use. WiFi, Bluetooth and certain auto-updating apps also drain the battery.
Suggestion: turn WiFi OFF when you leave your house. Keep the default timeout setting to 1 minute or so to make sure the screen turns off after a short time of not
using the device. Turn Bluetooth off if you're not using it. Reduce screen brightness, it's set to Auto by default when you get the Evo.
Default email client not super intuitive, plus polling intervals can not be set to anything shorter than 5 minutes. Email client can easily be replaced with other apps if you wish though.
Touch screen is VERY sensitive and fast. Some folks might need to get used to how fast/sensitive it is. Could be a Pro or a Con.
Soft keyboard has some minor quirks, mostly in terms of intuitiveness. Hard to describe here.
For people with larger hands like me, the Evo is perfect. For someone with very small hands, this device could be a nightmare to use. Seriously - it's LARGE.
Like all touch devices, the touch screen is a fingerprint magnet
If you are on Sprint (or considering switching) and want the fastest and arguably best device out there at this time, the Evo is it.

Motorcycle Questions? Ask a Mechanic.
It seems like an issue with your meter. Coil resistance should be a stable number whether good or bad. When checking resistance it requires a good battery in the meter in order to send a current through the coil's windings. If the meter battery is weak it can't sustain the necessary amperage to overcome the coil resistance. I'd try changing that battery to a fresh one.

WA win Indigenous Cricket Carnival
It's been a big week for cricket in Alice Springs. One of the fastest centuries in sporting history and now the WA side celebrate their first win at the National Indigenous Cricket Carnival.

Western Australia's Indigenous cricket team has dominated the National Indigenous Cricket Carnival at Alice Springs to take home its first trophy.
The Sandgropers beat New South Wales by five wickets in the night final of the National Indigenous Cricket Carnival.
The Sandgropers reached 5/111 at Traeger Park ... taking the trophy over New South Wales who were all out for 110.
This is the first time Western Australia has won a trophy at the National Indigenous Cricket Carnival.
NT Cricket chief executive Andrew Ramsay said WA will be the team to beat in the future.
"They've got some terrific players, young Dane Yugel who was named as the player of the series is someone to watch he is an extremely talented young cricketer and very, very exciting. So that's a name to follow I think. He smashed some very, very quick runs."
"It's a great story the way Western Australia has gone about developing their indigenous side. They've been very committed to their programs over the years and now they're really reaping the rewards. It's a good model for other states and territories to follow," said Ramsay.
In other results the Northern Territory women's team also enjoyed a first-time win against New South Wales in a Twenty20 match.

Carter's Response
In 1874, in response to what were seen as growing "papistical tendencies" in the C.of E. the Government passed the Public Worship Regulation Act. The Queen – with her soft spot for Presbyterianism – was delighted. Disraeli called high church ritualism "a mass in masquerade". Gladstone, however, disapproved of the Church and its liturgy being made "a parliamentary football" and he opposed subordination of Church to State. Four priests were actually imprisoned under the terms of the Act, but these imprisonments of good men served to bring the Act into disrepute.
The Act gave leave for "aggrieved parishioners" to make representations to the Bishop. The Bishop, however, had the power to veto legal proceedings, thanks to a clause introduced by Archbishop Tait.
So when, in 1877, Captain Thomas Bulkley of Clewer Lodge, and others, tried to bring charges against Thomas Carter, Bishop Mackarness vetoed the action. In 1878 Dr. Frederick Julius of The Hermitage, Clewer Green, sought to bring action against Carter, but ultimately, after many legal developments, the Bishop of Oxford stood firm for Carter.
He (Carter) when the Julius case collapsed, knowing that although Bishop Mackarness had defended him he did not approve of "ritualism" decided that the honourable thing to do was to resign.
This he did, becoming full-time Warden of the Community of St. John Baptist and living in a house, St. John's Lodge, built for him in Hatch Lane. The new Rector, Roland Errington, allowed Carter to continue to live at the Rectory until his house was ready.
