OMG finally...
... I got my BFP on Sunday morning - but I couldn't wrote yesterday because my computer has refused *lol* :)
I had a feeling the last couple days that we hitched the egg this month because I had really bad cramps in my lower belly (nothing AF like) and no brownish discharge like normal befor AF is due (expected her yesterday 10th June). I didn't had a HPT at home on Saturday morning so I tested with a left OPK I had bought a few month ago (only used these one month because it stressed me out too much) I rememberd that Claire tested also first with an OPK which came out opositive, so I thought "Why not!" :)
I never really had a positive on OPK`s when I used them and this time again it was also not the same color as the test line (a bit lighter) but I know I also had times when there were only the test line. So I thought I MUST be preggo.
I drove through the next pharmacy and bought two test (a normal HPT and a FRER) and tested Sunday morning with FMU to get a safe outcome - both came out positive directly (but not as bright as I thought they will be). I think I hopped like a little kid in our bathroom. For luck DH wasn't at home *haha* :)
These are the two test
So to be on the safe site I bought a Clearblue Digi yesterday and tested in the evening when I was back from work and it also says "PREGNANT"!!!!!
I wanted to surprise DH yesterday evening but he was out with his Dad for dinner and came back late. So now he will get the surprise this evening. Will def post DH's reveal :)
I thank you all so so much for all your help and kind words in the past month!!! I'm really happy to be on these boards with you all.
Kathrin :)

With the 2012 NFL season in the books, and the scouting combine in the rear-view, it's time to take a closer look at the 50 players we think will be the biggest difference-makers at the next level from this draft class. To that end, we're happy to continue this year's Shutdown 50 scouting reports (Hint: There may actually be more than 50). You can read last year's group here. The final 50 players were chosen and ranked based on game tape, combine and Pro Day results, overall positional value, and attributes and liabilities on and off the field.
#26: Robert Woods, WR, USC
We continue this year's series with USC receiver Robert Woods, the unheralded first-round talent in a batch of top-level receiver prospects. Woods really broke out for the Trojans in 2011, when he caught 111 passes for 1,292 yards and 15 touchdowns. Two things slowed him down in 2012 -- the arthroscopic ankle surgery he had in December, 2011, and Marqise Lee's ascent as a ridiculous offensive threat. But even with a changing role in USC's offense, it was Woods who was there to catch the bail-out screen or crucial slant to extend the drive. He followed up that 2011 season with 74 receptions for 849 yards and 11 touchdowns in his final collegiate campaign, despite the fact that he did look a bit slower on tape, and some evaluators may have pegged him as little more than a "possession receiver" -- a term that is just as limiting and pejorative as "game manager" is for quarterbacks.
Woods' stock started to rise after the season. He ran an official 4.51 40-yard dash at the scouting combine, and improved on his average agility drills at USC's pro day, where he was the unquestioned star. It was there that Woods started to look like the player we saw in 2011 -- he exploded off his breaks, showed straight-line speed, and appeared to put the entire package together just in time for the draft.
The question is, in a league that is more and more about the vertical passing game, does Robert Woods flash enough of the skills needed of the elite receivers selected in the first round? Or, is he a complementary piece of the overall puzzle -- a secondary receiver who will gobble up catches and fail to take it over the top?
Pros: Outstanding straight-line strider who sells head and foot fakes very well. Plants and drives with the ability to get away from defenders in close quarters. Understands the route tree and plays faster than he is with his ability to exploit cuts and angles. Collects his body well on quick cuts and gets around for yards after the catch in a hurry. Natural slot receiver who doesn't hear footsteps and will make the tough catches with defenders moving in on him. Practiced receiver on intermediate routes -- slants, posts, drags, and all manner of comebacks. Looks the ball into his hands and doesn't move his head upfield too quickly.
Great YAC receiver on screens and swing passes because he's so good with his feet in short spaces. Great catch radius -- he'll jump for balls, extend his body, and make the extra effort to bring the ball in. Woods has outstanding field awareness, and he'll poke holes in zone defenses to get open. Understands motion timing and formation diversity; can line up and make plays all over the place. Excellent effort player who will keep a play alive, swerve out of contact, and gain yards other receivers might not. Ankle injury showed him a bit in 2012, but he looked very fast and explosive at his pro day. Good return man who gets and stays open with excellent vision and awareness.
Cons: Has a limited upper gear -- not a pure speed receiver and could top out in more vertical offenses. Not an especially physical player; will get tied up in press coverage and when manhandled in the five-yard contact area. Needs stutter-go moves to displace himself from defensive backs on longer vertical routes -- this is where the lack of top-end speed shows up. Tends to let defenders establish position, either inside or outside, when moving in a straight line. Prone to inexplicable stretches of drops. Needs to do a better job of separating with hands, especially in the red zone. Blocks with effort and intent, but not a lot of power.
Conclusion: When I was watching Woods' tape, the two words that came to mind over and over were "vision" and "awareness." This is a player who understands where he is in the passing game at all times, and isn't just running around freelancing -- something, by the way, that Marqise Lee has to solve before the NFL gets hold of him. Woods is a sneaky-fast player who will surprise enemy defenses at every level by using angles and spaces to get open and make plays.
In the end, I believe that Woods is less a possession guy with a low ceiling and more the type of player who will provide optimal value to his NFL team with an early and easy command of the little things required for greatness at his position. He is a reliable route receiver and a gamebreaker able to affect coverages on a regular basis -- not to mention, a great example of the truism that playing receiver is about far more than track speed.

... city cemetery. Because of the beautiful sunny day the place was bustling and the traffic in gridlock but it gave us a chance to see things at a slow pace, including a motor bike towing a custom made doggy buggy. Back at the ship by 4.30 it just seemed like too much effort to walk into the city streets again. Besides, being Sunday the shops were now closing. So our final night on board, packing and preparing for yet another gourmet meal. It will be difficult to face life without ...

Wandered around a bit more and realised it was wine time. Went to the bar attached to the hotel and asked for a wine list. The grumpy waitress said the menus were being redone and we just had to tell her what we wanted. We ordered a glass of wine each and some olives. She sneered at us and off she went. ...

WHISTLER -- Brian McKeever won Canada's first gold medal of the 2010 Winter Paralympics Monday in 20-kilometre freestyle visually impaired cross-country skiing.
"That's the one we really wanted," said McKeever of Canmore, Alta. "It's been eight years in the making."
McKeever, whose brother Robin McKeever is his guide, won silver in the race at Salt Lake 2002 and Turin 2006.
Nikolay Polukhin of Russia was the silver medallist. Bronze went to Vasili Shaptsiaboi of Belarus.
Legally blind McKeever had been waiting to race cross-country on the Callaghan Valley trails since the end of February when he was cut from the Canadian Olympic team on the last weekend of the Games. Cross-Country Canada coaches opted to start the team's best four racers.
"We're never going to forget what happened, but this helps us to move on and we've got more racing yet to go," he said.
McKeever was sixth in the 3 km pursuit biathlon on Saturday. He is scheduled to race in the men's cross-country 1 km sprint classic and 10 km classic and compete in the men's 12.5 km biathlon.
John Furlong, chief executive of the Vancouver Games' organizing committee, was at the cross-country stadium to witness McKeever's win.
"The laws of natural justice are prevailing and things are unfolding the way they should," Furlong said. "Given what happened during the Olympic Games, it couldn't fall to a more worthy person."

Everyone makes mistakes. But when doctors, nurses, therapists, or dentists make them, the effects can last a lifetime. Patients have a right to expect that medical procedures will be properly performed. Medical malpractice attorneys represent you if you are injured by a healthcare provider's careless or accidental mistakes. For example, if a doctor leaves behind gauze in your body during surgery, resulting in an infected wound that requires even more surgery, the doctor committed medical malpractice. Medical malpractice attorneys can recognize injuries caused by mistakes; they know the most common mistakes that cause injuries, and they know how to find and present information useful to prove your case. Medical malpractice attorneys also know how much insurance is available if the health care provider is responsible for what happened to you.

The 17-year-old from
Westfields Sports High School
is the newest rookie with women's national baskeyball league team
Sydney Flames
and was recently selected in the Australian all schools basketball team to tour Malaysia and Thailand in January 2003.
Gilbert began her Flames career on the bench during their round one 72-66 win over Canberra Capitals but she couldn't be happier.
"I don't care if I don't get to play, I'm just excited sitting on the bench wearing the uniform," she said.
She knows the Flames is the perfect stepping stone to a successful basketball career but is remaining grounded about her future.
"I'm not really striving to be in the Opals, whatever happens happens," she said.

Kristen Stewart and James Franco Flirting?
"Is Kristen Stewart moving on with James Franco?" asks RadarOnline in a new (ahem) "exclusive." According to the webloid, the pair had a "chance meeting" at the Toronto International Film Festival last week, and "to say [Franco] was enamored with Robert Pattinson's ex would be an understatement."
"Kristen and James bumped into each other at the Intercontinental Hotel in Toronto during the film festival and were engaged in conversation for 20 minutes," reveals a so-called "source" for the site. The RadarOnline source continues, "There was a lot of flirting and Kristen was overjoyed by the attention she was getting from James, who was gushing over her, saying what a great actress he thinks she is and was full of praise for her latest movie, On the Road."
The site claims the "smitten" actor tried to set up a dinner date with Stewart, but was "shot down." Regardless, continues RadarOnline, Franco is still focused on arranging a "romantic rendezvous when back on home ground."
Hmm. This all sounds VERY familiar. Where have we heard "details" like this before? Oh, right! This past weekend, HollywoodLife completely fabricated the exact same story! HollywoodLife's bit of "reporting" also had Stewart and Franco supposedly "chatting for about 20 minutes," with Franco purportedly gushing over Stewart's acting and trying to score a date. Of course, HollywoodLife's fake story claimed the couple's "flirting" happened at Soho House rather than the Intercontinental Hotel. So either Stewart and Franco had an identical "chance meeting" at two separate locations, with a "source" allegedly overhearing the same details… or neither one happened.
It's the latter. As Gossip Cop reported on Sunday, Franco and Stewart never crossed paths in Toronto — period. There was never a lengthy, flirtatious "meeting" that somehow — conveniently for both HollywoodLife and RadarOnline — (1) was eavesdropped upon but never photographed and (2) resulted in no actual date. There is nothing to this alleged Stewart-Franco business. A source close to Stewart tells Gossip Cop that she and the actor "never saw each other" in Toronto.

Weddings are expensive!! There are some things you can do to help cut the final costs of your event if you don't mind doing a little leg work.
Table Arrangements Flower arrangements cost a lot but also add beautiful detail to your wedding day. One thing you can do to cut down on the cost of table arrangements is buy the vases in advance. Many florists charge large fees for using their vases. Visit a local pottery store, yard sales and antique stores and buy a few at a time throughout the year. You can find beautiful clear and colored glass vases. Ask the florist to create the arrangements in your vases. Plus, you get to take them home at the end of the day. Feeling very adventurous, try your hand at the arranging. There are some step-by-step videos that can help you quickly learn the art flower arranging. Buying large bundles of fresh cut flowers and arranging them on your own will definitely save you a lot.
Cakes You would be shocked at what some grocery store bakeries can do with cakes these days. Visit your local supermarket and view the sweet confections they offer. One word of caution- if wedding cakes are not something they have attempted before but are willing to try, ask if the baker will make an attempt before the big day. I'm not sure you want to be their first experiment.
Open Bar? Providing an open bar can be one of the priciest elements of your reception. If you are determined to have an open bar, try to select a venue that allows you to bring in your own alcohol. Create a list of all of the beverages you'll offer. Split the list up and let your family members each pick up a bottle or 2 a week/month, until the wedding date. By the time the wedding date is here, you will have all of the ingredients for your full bar at a much lower cost.
Service Fees Some caterers are more laid back and will allow you to bring in your own servers. Post an ad in the local paper for one day only event servers and bartenders. If you happen to be located near a culinary institute, contact the school to see if they have a catering services course. Many of these culinary institutes offer class credit for hours spent working in the field. You can cut your service fees in half using your own servers and bartenders.
Borrow a Dress If this is something you are open to and you have a friend and or family member with an available dress. This is a great way to save money.

K2 cinch v. Gnu v. Flow - sorry to beat a dead horse but..
I have been riding Ride SPIs for the last few years - never tried rear entry bindings - like my bindings reasonably tight and responsive for fear of getting a little lazy and catching an edge. I would really like to move to a rear entry binding for the convenience when I board with friends that ski. My take right now from all I've read is that Flows is a love/hate.. I am considering trying the NXT ATs if anything in the Flow line up but I feel like I may not like a fit that doesn't feel snug in the binding. Looking at the K2 CTX, i don't like all the moving parts mostly - and the weight is definitely more than what I'm used to with the SPIs on my Gnu Carbon Credit board. The Gnus look like maybe the best of both worlds, although my two concerns are 1) lack the ability to ratchet down once in if the fit is not tuned in perfectly from the beginning 2) ability to adjust the high back.
I can't find much of anything on the 2011 Gnus and whether there is any improvement or what people think. Is there a reason why there is little or no buzz on these bindings?
This will give you the breakdown you're probably looking for The Angry Snowboarder Blog Archive Taking It In The Rear
get some flows i love mine :D....the gnu's are a rip off of somebody else's design i believe
[QUOTE=snowbrdr;315526]I am considering trying the NXT ATs if anything in the Flow line up but I feel like I may not like a fit that doesn't feel snug in the binding.[QUOTE]
I would suggest clamping into a pair. You can crank the AT's in so that your you have an ultra snug fit. Rear entry may be the draw, but it is the support and the performance factors that have grown Flow to becom the 2nd largest binding company. The ratchets are not a minor factor and in 2011, I would not consider a binding without them. They not only offer traditional ratchet only entry, but they are also critical for easy on slope adjustment.
[QUOTE=Wiredsport;315563][QUOTE=snowbrdr;315526]I am considering trying the NXT ATs if anything in the Flow line up but I feel like I may not like a fit that doesn't feel snug in the binding.
Gnus are made by Sp Fastec, you can find all the info on them here and their latest models, Videos are here. I have the new 2011 Brotherhood and dam they are great, the extra ratchet alows for those tweaks when you need them.
Having said that I also use K2 CTX, Not sure why everyone says too many moving parts. I have not had an issue and yes they move when you put them on and they move when you take them off, but after that they are totally secure, more so than the Fastecs, As for weight, sorry I am not doing 360's and so forth but I have never felt the weight and it has never stopped me carving hard and fast amongst the trees.
[QUOTE=Wiredsport;315563][QUOTE=snowbrdr;315526]I am considering trying the NXT ATs if anything in the Flow line up but I feel like I may not like a fit that doesn't feel snug in the binding.
...I would not be worried about not feeling snug in some flows. especially if you get the NXT's cause they are highly adjustable. It took me a while to get them the way I wanted them, but now I think ill never ride any other kind of bindings again. I love the consistency of the rear entry too...no more guessing on ratchets and having your support feel different on every run
oh yea and based on my experience, during a sesh at the mountain with your buddies you'll end up getting 1 or 2 more runs than they do just because of the speed of the rear entry...I normally dont even have to stop after getting off the lift :)
Don't you just love true facts over internet dribble that is handed down as facts. That will go a long way to explain why I don't feel any difference in the weigth of these bindings.. Because there isn't any. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
interesting opinion
The Angry Snowboarder Blog Archive Taking It In The Rear
Saw this in the comments after the article. This guy seemed to have a pretty thorough take (there are some other interesting comments too):
I saw a guy who couldn't get into his 2 strap binding cause he couldn't get all the snow out. I think a binding is a 3 step thing, is it comfortable, how it rides & convience, the last part depends on the user. Same deal with boots.
Cinch, I didn't like how the binding rode(too soft of a hiback), heavier than hell, was comfortable, but convience was lacking since the straps would ratchet down or move before you got in. I still have never seen somebody use a cinch by lowering the hiback.
The fastec binding, what GNU & 16 other companies use has come a long ways as far as look, I only rode a the cheapest version from a couple of years ago. You had to take apart the whole binding just to adjust it, including forward lean, binding was painful, rode like shit & you still have to adjust the cap strap to get in & click the ankle lever down. So, I would just buy a 2 strap since i have to do the same stuff anyways.
Flow, which I have, I like, but I'm use to them. My first time took me a couple of runs to get use to since I tried to crank them down like a 2 strap….which you don't do & I like that it's just one step, usually I just kick my foot in just after getting off the lift. My super old ones, I didn't like the hiback, but now they have hibacks that are way more comfy & either stiffer or torsionally softer. This is the only binding that actually rides different, the others ride like 2 straps. Maybe it's me, but I feel more in control in rough terrain.
Apo, has been around for 7 years I think, it rode ok, still had to adjust the cap strap everytime I got in, but the rest worked fine. Problem is I don't know where you can get them in the states & am not a big fan of hinges.
Pretty much all these bindings have ratchets or something that you can just lift up to get in normally or to clear snow out or if your on a steep slope

|Linus Arnesson among latest Bruins cuts
|09.29.15 at 5:21 pm ET
The Bruins announced Tuesday that they have assigned Linus Arnesson, Chris Casto, Austin Czarnik and Frank Vatrano to Providence. The four players were absent from Tuesday's practice, with Claude Julien declining comment on their status earlier in the day.
In addition to making cuts, the Bruins brought Chris Breen, Ben Sexton and Brandon DeFazio back up from Providence. The three were previously cut from camp, but recalling them means the Bruins will have the trio available for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Recalling players after cutting them in camp isn't too uncommon, as the Bruins cut Ryan Spooner last fall, brought him up before the end of the preseason and had him on their roster when the season began. It's unlikely that Breen, Sexton or DeFazio are viable options to make the B's out of camp, however.
|Bruins defense a work in progress with season approaching
|at 12:07 am ET
Boston's top goalie Tuukka Rask made his pre-season debut on Monday night at TD Garden, but his play really wasn't what Bruins coach Claude Julien had his eye on.
Rather, it was the group of six defensemen who saw action in front of Rask that Julien was watching most intently.
"We're evaluating more the back end than we were Tuukka," Julien said. "We've got some young D's here and some spots to fill. Spots to win and spots to lose. So we're looking closely at those guys on the back end. Some of those goals tonight [Rask] didn't get much help."
Boston dropped the final decision to Detroit 3-1, allowing at least two markers that didn't thrill Julien in regards to his team's play on that back end.
"That first goal a guy walks right into the slot," said Julien of the game's first goal scored by Detroit's Drew Miller, with Boston's defensemen Linus Arnesson and Kevan Miller near the crease some distance away.
And the second Detroit goal, with Tomas Jurko getting behind Arnesson and Colin Miller to make it 2-0?
"It was a mix-up there between our two D's," said Julien. "We laid it in [on the dump-in] and our right D changed hoping that our left D would go to right to be closer to the bench. Somehow they stayed in the same half of the ice and allowed them that breakaway."
Without the blue-line services of Dennis Seidenberg for several more weeks and Zdeno Chara for an unknown length of time, some of Julien's young defensemen will need to raise their game when the season begins a week from this Thursday.
"I think guys are getting used to having more pressure on them on the forecheck," said Zach Trotman, who logged 18:39 of ice time Monday playing primarily alongside Torey Krug. "Getting used to reads. Getting some chemistry with other players and partners. We've gotten to play with each other for a couple games now. You're going to notice that breakouts are a little cleaner, neutral zone is going to be a little cleaner. And then jumping up in the play and stuff and adjusting to the tweaks we've made to our system."
Those tweaks to the Bruins system are designed to help spark an offense that ranked 22nd in the NHL in goals-per-game (2.55) last season. However, timing is everything in making sure the defense doesn't suffer.
|Milan Lucic, Gregory Campbell, Linus Arnesson limited to begin Bruins training camp
|09.18.14 at 1:32 pm ET
General manager Peter Chiarelli said Thursday that three players are limited and/or out to start training camp for the Bruins: Milan Lucic, Gregory Campbell and Linus Arnesson.
Lucic is recovering from wrist surgery and had said earlier this week that he would be taking it slow in training camp. Chiarelli confirmed as much, saying that Lucic is 'a little slow' to begin camp.
Campbell will not be on the ice when practices begin Friday due to what Chiarelli called 'some minor mid-core stuff.'
Arnesson, meanwhile, was given Monday's rookie practice off before leaving Tuesday's rookie game with a tweaked groin. Chiarelli said Thursday that Arnesson 'won't be skating for a little bit.'

|Bruins wrap development camp, Peter Chiarelli won't rule out David Pastrnak pushing for roster spot
|07.13.14 at 1:06 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins completed their five-day development camp Sunday, with general manager Peter Chiarelli counting 2014 first-round pick David Pastrnak and 2013 second-round pick Linus Arnesson among the bright spots.
"I was pleased with Pastrnak," Chiarelli said. "There's only been a couple players that have shown that at these camps over the years. He's still got a little bit of a ways to go, but I'm very happy with Pastrnak."
Pastrnak is a right-shot right wing, which the Bruins currently don't have on their roster. Asked whether he felt Pastrnak could be a longshot candidate to make the Bruins' roster, Chiarelli noted that Pastrnak still needs to fill out physically, but didn't rule it out.
"You never know," Chiarelli. "I don't want to place too much of a burden on this kid's shoulders, but he was good. The hesitation that you have is that he's 170, 173 pounds. He's wiry strong, but you never know. Speed, skill, sense is all there. It would be nice, but we'll see.
"He's young. To throw someone [in] at that age, at that weight, but there's been guys that have done it."
As for Arnesson, Chiarelli clarified that the Swedish defenseman will not turn pro this year. Due to transfer rules, Arnesson would be ineligible to play in the AHL this season if he went pro (only the NHL), so he will play in Sweden next season. It is in his contract that he will attend Bruins' camp and then go back to his Swedish club.
Under the Swedish transfer agreement, Pastrnak, who is Czech but plays in Sweden, can be signed by July 15 in order to attend camp without the Bruins having to pay more money to the federation.

|Bruins sign Linus Arnesson to entry-level contract
|06.01.14 at 6:26 pm ET
The Bruins announced Sunday that they have signed defenseman Linus Arnesson to an entry-level contract.
Arnesson, 19, was drafted in the second round (60th overall) of the 2013 draft, but was the Bruins' first pick given that their first-rounder was dealt to the Stars in the team's trade for Jaromir Jagr during the lockout-shortened 2013 season.
The 6-foot-1, 188 pound Sweden native spent last season playing for Djurgarden of the Allsvenskan league. Arnesson dressed in 44 regular-season games, scoring a goal and adding five assists while posting a plus-two rating. He also played for Team Sweden in the World Juniors.
|Bruins draft defenseman Linus Arnesson in second round
|06.30.13 at 7:32 pm ET
Swedish defenseman Linus Arnesson was the Bruins' first selection of the 2013 draft, as the B's nabbed him with their second-round pick, which was 60th overall.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound blueliner spent the last two seasons playing for Djurgardens IF Stockholm. In 31 games last season, he had one assist, a minus-3 rating and eight penalty minutes.
The B's were without a first-round pick, as it was dealt to the Stars in the Jaromir Jagr trade.

Feedback. The Creativity Killer.
If you don't deal with bad feedback it can disrupt, slowly corrode, and in the end, kill your creativity. If you've ever said "Yes, I can change that" and know deep down inside of you a little bit of your creative soul died, then this article is for you. We'll tackle negative feedback and learn how to combat it. You'll discover the 12 ways to manage feedback and keep your creativity alive.
Designerus Thickus Skinus
They say the designer's skin is several layers thicker than most other humans. There is a reason for this mutation: clients, managers, co-workers … Ok, basically anyone with an opinion. I don't think there are many other professions where any person off the street thinks they might know better than the actual professional does. I would hesitate to tell a surgeon how she should initiate the first cut, or tell the airplane pilot that I think he should move to another altitude for faster travel. But heck if I haven't had someone walk past my desk and offer unsolicited tips on how I could improve a design I am working on.
Design doesn't just happen
Most people have a hard time articulating why they like or dislike things. They believe it's a sort of random reasoning. They know what they like and that's that. To them design and creativity is just an unexplainable feeling.
What they don't realize is the experience of a website or interaction is interpreted by the brain in a very specific way. We are born wired to like and dislike certain things. There is a science and logic behind design. Just take a look at the natural world around us. It seems random in its beauty, yet we find that some of the reason behind it has a lot to do with the Golden Ratio.
Design impacts our lives, especially if executed poorly. Today's designs are online banks, car dashboards, medical equipment, and much more. Someone skilled and experienced should be heavily involved in decisions made in creating them.
Know your feedback
Feedback falls into two silos: Propels Creativity and Kills Creativity. Ok, fairly obvious. What's more important are the motivations of the people offering it. The motivations of people can overlap, so it's not always a black and white situation.
Propels Creativity
Collaborative: The person giving this feedback is genuinely interested in making the end product better. They are team focused and driven by being a part of creating something great.They know what they don't know, and they allow the experienced person to do what they do best.
Informative: This is an experienced professional who respects others, listens to ideas, and wants to explore more than just their own ideas. Their feedback is truly constructive. They encourage and educate others to help them grow. This feedback also makes the final product great.
Kills Creativity
Egocentric: This person believes that their opinion has more weight because their experience or rank means more than your experience and/or rank. They will take credit for ideas until something goes wrong, then it's all you.
Uninformed: This person feels they know enough to make important decisions based on something like reading an article or working with a designer in the past. They know enough to be dangerous. Some might offer an opinion just because they were asked or only speak up to justify their value as a team member.
Influenced: This person has motivations that relate only to the world they live in. It might be a marketer who only is concerned with a brand guide being followed to the "t". The user experience might be secondary or quickly drop completely off the list, as they get distracted with unimportant details.
12 Ways to Manage Feedback
1. The Blank Page
Every creative person starts in the exact same place: The blank page. As a designer you create something out of nothing. So when you first get that feedback, ask yourself this: Where were they when the page was blank? It's easy to give an opinion, but not without something there to critique. Take pride in what you offer and realize how important you are in the process.
2. Anticipate
Try to put yourself in the shoes of someone else. By approaching it from another angle you might find some real issues you can address before you put it in front of anyone. After that, seek out someone that you trust the opinion of and that will give you unbiased feedback. Knowing what might be brought up makes it easier to talk past it. You are in control of the feedback.
3. Know your Stuff
Great design resources (like Six Revisions) are plentiful online and there is always the library. Both of which are free. Take some time to dive deeper into design theory and user experience (UX) methodologies. With UX the best practices and user discovery are all you need to make your work impermeable to poor feedback. Let the research shine. It's harder to argue with the facts.
4. Power of Three
Every designer goes through many different ideas as they pull together initial concepts. The number that you come up with each time depends on many things including budget and deadlines. Whatever you decide to present, it's good to assemble a range: A conservative option, a "forward-thinking" or "edgy" option, and an in-between option (a combination of other two). You can guide the decision more by knowing most people go to the middle option.
5. Taking it Personally
Designers become more than attached to their work; They take it to personally. If someone rips down a design, part of him or her is torn too. As a designer you need to think about the bigger picture. It's important to forward design as an industry. At the touch points in your day-to-day life you represent all other designers. Create great work that meets the needs of the end users or customers and don't push your own creative agenda. Take the feedback as directed at the work, not yourself. If at some point in the process you have one version you know might not work for this exact project, then work on it for yourself and file it away.
6. Find the Value
Even the harshest words have a source. Your job as a designer is to figure out what that is and if it really has a value. Take a look at the motivations of the person giving the feedback and at its relationship to the whole. Where does it fall? Is it propelling the project to greatness or derailing it and causing frustration? Based on this you either ignore it or add it into the next iteration.
7. Truth and Consequences
Let me tell you the truth: Clients (internal or external) will always be a pain. They give feedback that calls for major changes in near impossible time frames. I agree that it's not fair. Don't let your life turn into a "Kinko's" where everything is expected to be turned around in a few hours and you are never able to spend the needed time to get it right.
The best approach is "Yes, I can do that" to everything. But like any decision it comes with a consequence. Something like: "It will cause the deadline to move back a lot." It really works because you didn't have to say "no". But, you just gave them a big reason to have to reconsider their unreasonable request.
8. Young at Heart
Luke: "Got 'im! I got 'im!"
Han Solo: "Great, kid. Don't get cocky."
–from Star Wars
Walking into a job fresh from school everyone wants to prove their worth and think they know exactly what solutions are needed. The best advice I can offer is: Shut-up. Listen. Be humble. You just might learn everything you need to help launch yourself off into a successful career. Don't worry, you'll get your chance to be heard, but you have to earn it. Feedback in the early years gives you experience and growth. One thing to take away from that time is don't let the rules and having your ideas shot down over the years stifle your creativity later on. Stay young at heart.
9. Push Back
They hired you for your expertise. So give them your feedback! Ask them the reasons behind their decisions to gain some insight into their motivations. Sometimes (Ok, most times) there are very vague requirements and you are throwing out ideas blindly hoping to get it right. They might not even know what's best and are looking for leadership.
You can drive the process. Get the answers you need. You can't be afraid to speak up. If you do give feedback you have to back this up though. It can't just be because you "feel" it's right. You need to validate it. Things like user research and any other information from discovery or best practices are good.
10. Don't Break the Rules
The same rules apply to you. Don't be a design snob and say that no one understands your genius on something you can't back up. If the work you produced doesn't tie into the project goals, or if you are simply being trumped on a decision, try to do your best to move on. Find other outlets to let your creativity reign freely. In fact, this is something that you should do to explore new ideas and stay fresh as a designer. There are things clients or co-workers might not appreciate. Other places like the design community might be better.
11. Quiet Confidence
There is a fine line between confident and egocentric. The motives are very different though. You know what you are doing. You are an expert in design. The experience that you have is valuable to clients (whether they know it or not). You shouldn't try to prove yourself. You should however try to create great work and believe in it. People will always criticize, but you need to be confident and hold true to the vision for the project. If that confidence is based on wanting to create the right thing for the project, not just to prove you are "awesome", then you will find success.
12. Show Me the Happiness
If you are stuck in an infinite loop of degrading feedback that is killing your creativity and burning you out, it might be time to move on. This could be due to a manager or the clients you have to interact with on a daily basis. Quitting should be the last resort after you have tried to deal with things head on and given it as much time as possible.
If you think about it in terms of the other professions I brought up earlier, it becomes a bit stronger. If a surgeon or pilot were continually asked to significantly limit their performance and that they were always wrong, it would not only be frustrating, but a danger to the patients and passengers.
From personal experience I can say there are better clients and better employers out there. Given, no place is perfect, but you deserve to be happy and create great work.
Make Feedback Work for You
How you deal with feedback is what really matters. I hope these tips help.

Great opinion, I appreciate this article.
One major thing I feel that's been left out is regarding "the ego"
… I feel that one's ego is truly how one receives and interprets feedback.
This article is written as if the creator needs to keep their ego intact. And to me, trying to maintain a sense of ego is the creativity killer, and feedback should be the drive to create.
My advice is to put your ego away if you really want to find success or happiness. The 1 step: check your ego , can eliminate many of the 12 steps.
Gabe Jun 17 2009
Thanks for the awesome article. Dealing with criticism has been one of the hardest things for me to learn working as a web developer. It requires constantly re-focusing myself, it never seems to get easier. Hopefully I can use some of these points to make my skin thicker. I have gotten better at not just skipping straight to point #12 on the list, but with my personality this aspect of my job will always be a challenge.
Basma Jun 17 2009
I want to thank you so very very much for your advice.
You wont believe how spot on your article is! And during this phase of my life, it's borderline freaky! for me to come across it that is. No seriously, I needed that talk. Yes it felt that you were talking to me personally.
Many thanks. Waiting for more!

Great article!
Good to know my opinion about certain points of design is shared.

Great article! Dealing with criticism is not easy, but your tips will certainly improve it for me. Many thanks.
Cheers, Maggy

Thanks for a wonderful article. I have been suffering with this exact topic this week and I was nice to hear some tips from an outside source. As a first year designer it is often hard to feel like you are getting your creativity out there without dozens of harsh feedback. I hope this finds it to other designers in need of a little self confidence.
Anne Jun 17 2009
This is a great article – thanks! Appreciate the advice. It's hard to stay focused on the reality of a situation when faced with negative feedback, especially when you have put much into a design and the client decides near the end of the project that they want something that is nearly impossible to implement given the project deadline. Definitely going to use your advice.
Josh Jun 17 2009
Excellent article. And it really hits home for me. I often have to remind myself to take a step back and not to take my work too seriously. It's easy to think that everything will fall apart if things aren't done "just right." And as someone who ALWAYS wants things done "just right," it causes me a lot of frustration in the workplace. The key for me was in learning (and I am still learning) how to pick my battles.
Brad Jun 17 2009
Great article! Confidence is key (not arrogance/ego) if the pilot loses confidence the plane crashes. I've been in the "infinite loop of degrading feedback" and I had to leave. (I should note I was the 3rd person in a year and a half to leave this position) Under constant attack, the designer has to maintain their values, pride and confidence as a designer and as a person.
About the article, in my opinion, ego does unfortunately get in the way of many designers but I don't feel ego alone negates any of the points made in this article given my previous experience.
Tony Chester Jun 17 2009
I somewhat agree with item 4: The Power of Three. It makes sense but with my experience, I've found that if you supply multiple options, the client sometimes chooses the least desirable design. This in turn causes you grief and kills your morale.
WIlliam Rackley Jun 17 2009
Great article! =)
Around the studio, we've always referred to many of the 'let it go, move on' points you had as 'developing artistic detachment'.
Designers facing some of these challenges would do well to remember that the design isn't their only child. Most likely, every design after that on will be an improvement.
Enjel Jun 17 2009
I can totally relate to this. I'm a designer for 8 years. And as I have observed, most of the time people do not know what they want.
Thanks for bringing this up. This helped a lot.
hvdesigns Jun 17 2009
great article, some really usefull tips.
many thanks
Mike Cuesta Jun 17 2009
Great post! Being a good designer is not only a matter of creating great work, but being able to work with various stakeholders to successfully deliver the project.
Linda Jun 17 2009
Great article that can be applied to art and business as well. Thanks!
Mondo Jay Jun 17 2009
Dugg! Great article with great advice,
love the Aristotle quote too…
Joe Jun 17 2009
great advice for designers of all kinds.
Susanne Jun 17 2009
Many thanks for a wonderful article.
I find the hardest people to keep happy are your peers and your managers. Clients who are consulted to in the correct manner always feel part of the decision making process – your peers, your managers are the ones who make things harder – they regularly act on what would be best for your business or department and not your clients and their users!
A phrase I find useful in tense situations is:
"If I were a user visiting your site then…"
…"I may find this difficult to understand"
…"I may be confused with this"
…"I would benefit from"
etc etc…
typesett Jun 17 2009
I like the subject matter but I really don't like the negative headline. Feedback can be a Creativity boon too. Anyway, it was good, thanks!
Anna Jun 17 2009
I hear ya, I'm dealing with clients asking for some ridiculous changes, but I'm hangin in there and this article helps :)
Stijn Jun 17 2009
Spot on. But is the surgeon female because the pilot isn't? ;-)
Vikas Jun 17 2009
Man.. rocking article
One needs to face feedback and its quite tough to stay with feedback which is not constructive.
"Young at Heart"… love the way you have put it.

Great read!

I'm facing this now. It's great that this article come at a very good timing.
Great Article.
Wder Jun 18 2009
Great article, reminds me at an article over on smashing magazine about the same issue. Those articles are great because they tell the truth and they tell it out of the heart of everyone here, but as always: Noone of those who should read this article will ever do it: PR-Manager and Product-Managers telling you at the start: Yeah, I keep it up to you. coz I can't do this design thing. When you show them your first sketch: Oh, nice, really, but may we can put the logo four pixel larger and two pixel to left…?
Thanx again!
Brett Jun 18 2009
wow, thank you! As a print shop designer there are constant rounds of "Critisism" and "Feedback" its nice to know others feel that same way when our designs get torn and shredded by clients and managers.
Matt Jun 18 2009
That's more like a manual as how to be client-friendly :)
Top-notch stuff, keep it up guyz!
Paul Radich Jun 18 2009
Great read. Thanks! One of the hardest part of my job is dealing with how clients react to what they don't understand. And keeping my self from dumbing down every design to prevent this.
fahrulazmi Jun 18 2009
Love this article. Every single designer should read and practice it.
Mike Jun 18 2009
The one thing that never changed in the forty years I spent in the software development business is that clients always comment mostly on what is wrong or on what they don't like. You learn to separate the useful comments from the useless ones, But whether a client respects you or not often has little to do with your work, and has more to do with their basic attitudes towards people and life. Trying to change it is like trying to change someone's religious or political beliefs.
Jenny Simon Jun 18 2009
What a great article!!! Also great for visual artists who have to deal with this issue on a daily basis. Thanks.
Jennifer Jun 18 2009
Thanks for the excellent article (and reminders). As one of two designers, we often feel reduced to minion status because of the approval process our work is put through. We need to remember that we are the experts!
Joe Jun 18 2009
This is great. I literally checked my rss feeds for an article about feedback, and saw this post. I've been working on my site and finally have somethig I think I can live with. I would enjoy any propelling feedback anyone could give me right now.
Imokon Jun 18 2009
Not even going to get started on Kinko's…
It's a great refresher read though, Kudos!
Tim Smith Jun 18 2009
What a great article! I identify with it soo much. Thanks for the great points.
Robert Anthony Jun 19 2009
Vary good article, this was a timely find as I am considering a job change due to reasons listed. Thanks.
Anna Rzewnicki Jun 19 2009
Great article, and perfect timing! will be adding this blog to my must-read list!
mrsize Jun 19 2009
Great article ! i'm actually in the situation you talk about. Maybe i will translate this article in french, if you give me the permission ? ;)
John Jun 19 2009
Great points. We've all been there. Feedback can be so draining. I've found one great solution for combatting creative erosion is to have a personal project, a creative outlet where no one is telling you what colors to use or how large to make the type. This helped me tons in learning to put client projects in perspective.
Carl Turner Jun 21 2009
Great article. The line about "Kinko's" made me laugh because it's so painfully on the mark.
Ska Macanan Jun 23 2009
Thank you very much for this article.
mkjones Jun 23 2009
These are great tips.
I bet the guy who did the London 2012 Logo felt like a real douche when it was first unveiled. I hope he reads this and finds some relief.
Even if it is a terrible piece of work.
Kenny Lai Jul 02 2009
Feedback is great but you need to gauge the validity and popularity as well. You can't take every feedback and implement or think about it – some will be impossible to implement. I am working with http://www.letsfixthis.com that is in its infancy but I feel is a rising star. I can see both the feedback and the "popularity" of that feedback so i know what I should be working on.
Marco Feb 25 2011
Best article ever!
reading this it's like taking a deep breath.
And calm down.

March 25, 2013
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ---- UAB head football coach Garrick McGee spent time with local media on Monday, just two days before his team opens up spring practice on the UAB campus.
The Blazers begin the practice slate on Wednesday and will stay on a Wednesday, Friday and Saturday schedule each week leading up to the 2013 UAB Spring Game, which will be played at the West Campus Field on April 27.
McGee discussed several topics at Monday's press conference, including his team's offseason conditioning program and what he hopes to accomplish in his second season as a head coach.
"What we talk about as a program is planting a seed in the ground, which is what we did last season," McGee said. "You nurture that seed with the right stuff. There is no evidence that the seed is growing; you just have to have faith because of the nurturing of that seed. Our players are bigger, faster, and stronger, they are going to class, the team GPA is up. They understand the standard of excellence that I have. You plant that seed, you give it time, and you harvest it."
According to McGee, the Blazers will have several position changes going into the 2013 spring drills. Sophomore Roscoe Byrd, who played defensive tackle in 2012, will move to the offensive line, while junior Jay Davis will move over from his wide receiver spot to play safety in the UAB defensive backfield.
Other Blazers who will move positions this spring will be sophomore Nyiakki Height, who will transition from safety to wide receiver, and redshirt freshman Steve Pickren, who will move from tight end to defensive end.
Returning from injury this spring will be junior tight end Nolen Smith and senior linebacker Daniel White. Smith, a native of Oneonta, Ala., saw action in all 12 games in 2011 and finished with 19 receptions. His 14.4 yards per catch average was the second-best total on the team in that season, before a knee injury sidelined him in 2012. White, an Apopka, Fla., native, started nine games in 2010 and finished fourth on the team in tackles with 55 stops.
McGee also announced players who will be limited during spring practice due to injury. That list includes sophomore running back Bashr Coles, sophomore cornerback Darius Powell, sophomore linebacker Shaquille Roberson, senior safety Cortez Webb, junior defensive end Diaheem Watkins and senior linebacker Jesse Parrish.
Part of UAB's success in 2013 also depends on replacing Marvin Burdette, the nation's leading tackler a season ago. McGee says it starts with playing better as a defensive unit.
"What we need is to play a better overall team defense, McGee said. "We're not necessarily thinking about replacing Marvin and what he did individually, we're talking about playing a better brand of team defense, a faster brand of defense, a more competitive defense."
This week's practice schedule is the first of five weeks on the practice slate leading up the spring game.

Date of Stay: July, 2009
Very nice campground. Short drive to Avalon ad Stone Harbor. There is an ACME grocery store just down the road. The sites were fairly level, mostly sand rather than grass, spacious, and some trees for shade. Free coffee from 8 to 10 AM, nice snack bar/restaurant, and plenty of activities. Mosquitos are a problem but use lots of bug spray and citronella candles and you should be fine. Pool is nice but no chairs so bring your own. The adult TV room has internet access to find local activities (fireworks, waterparks, etc.)
Date of Stay: April, 2009
The campground is very small but extremely nice. The pet area is great - the best yet. In the spring of the year, water and electric sites to the left of the pavilion have water on them. The little nature walk was nice. Very close to Gettysburg.
Date of Stay: April, 2009
We stayed over Easter and the weather was very cooperative. The ocean and water sites are very cold and windy during this time of year, so be prepared. Our site was a little difficult to get into due to the large trees on both side of the sites and narrow roadway. The pull through sites are very nice but no shade and has a camper/trailer size requirement. The size requirement rule is hard and fast even if traveling with multiple families and different size trailers. The campground is very nice and they have lots of activities.

III Player rigging
Posted 20 August 2011 - 03:26 PM Edited by ManDog, 20 August 2013 - 12:39 PM.
This is the guide on how to change your player model for GTA3! So you can replace Claude with whatever person you like.
TXD Workshop
3DS Max
To start:
Open up both 3DS Max and TXD Workshop (of which you can download both above, if you haven't bought 3DS Max, then you can download the student version).
Then open it up and it should be like this:
Click Open IMG which can be seen here:
Now, go to your GTA3 Directory which should be in either "My Documents" or "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA3".
Go to the models folder and open up GTA3.img, and extract "player.dff" and import it to 3DS Max.
BUT! Make sure that before you import the model, make sure the toolbar is like this:
Now you probably have a ped you want to rig, so we'll carry on to the next step.
Now that you have extracted and imported Player.dff into 3DS Max, move it to the right/left away from the position that it was imported in.
Now import your model you want to rig to GTA3, for me, it's bmydj from San Andreas.
Rotate the model + skeleton 90 degrees to the right, like this:
So now it should be facing the same way as Claude's player model, after done it should look like this:
Now, select all of your models skeleton, use ALT to deselect the model, and delete the skeleton by pressing "DEL" on your keyboard, so then it will be like this:
Go to the toolbar which should be in the near top right corner. Click Editable Mesh and Element, select the whole model except the head, like this:
Now delete it so it will be just the head, as we are just rigging the head at the moment, so it will look just like this:
Move the head to where Claude's head is, line it up, so it is like this:
But now, the neck area below the head will have gaps, go to the toolbar and click "Vertex" in Editable Mesh.
Move the vertices from the bottom of the head where the neck should be to fit Claude's neck without any gaps.
Posted 20 August 2011 - 03:27 PM Edited by ManDog, 20 August 2013 - 12:49 PM.
Make sure you have UVMapped the player's head first (the one you want to rig, not Claude's), make sure you've uvmapped the head to Claude's player.bmp!
If you do not know how, there is a tutorial on it a few posts down.
Rigging the Model
Now that the bottom area of the head where the neck should be is fitted, click onto Claude's head, select all his vertices, and click "Attach".
Then click on the head you wanna rig, and a bar should pop up and it will be like this:
Click "OK", now both Claude's head and the head you want to rig should be one, only Claude's head vertices will be red because they are the ones what are selected, like this:
Click "DEL" so it should just be the head you're wanting to rig:
Now the ped should be rigged, but first, add the textures to the entire model (which can be done by dragging and dropping the texture from whatever folder it's in, onto the model in 3DS Max), and then it should be like this
Before you extract, make sure the toolbar is like this:
Select everything, plus Root like this:
Now press Extract DFF, then you are done. But not entirely.. you want to rig your new player to work in cutscenes don't ya?
On to the next step!
Posted 20 August 2011 - 03:31 PM Edited by ManDog, 20 August 2013 - 12:46 PM.
Go to GTA3.img by TXD Workshop, and extract "playerh.dff"
Should be like this:
Now do the same as before. Line the head you want to rig up with Claude's head like this:
Click Claude's head and select all the vertices, click on Attach, click on the head you want to rig, click "OK".
Then it should be rigged, and it should be like this:
Now, extract in Vice City's extraction method and click Bones/Skin Export, so it should be like this:
Now you have rigged it for cutscenes, now go back to TXD Workshop, open up playerh.txd, replace the texture with the uvmapped one with Claude's body texture, click save TXD, click it off, go ingame, and enjoy your rigged model!

|Add the textures to the model both ped and claudes body, should be like this
EDIT: Just found out. Nice tut. Now I'll see how it looks ingame.
EDIT²: Look what I done XD:
Next I'll do some GTA IV Characters like Roman XD
I also added some Tommy skin textures so it's like Tommy from VC
Posted 07 January 2012 - 11:34 PM Edited by Junior123456789, 08 January 2012 - 08:34 PM.
Posted 20 January 2012 - 01:00 PM Edited by CONEX, 21 January 2012 - 07:09 AM.
It's not with the DFF its with the Texture....
I can't uvmap the texture because the TXD im trying to use has more than one texture in it...
It has 4 Textures, the face texture and the Hair texture and both eyes, what shall i do now?
Its all ok but you should do the UVMapping Tutorial: (
I have no idea how to do it, and my Ped has 4 different textures so yeah : (!

Because it's a professional modeling software. The same software used to make each GTA.

Dalton And Kerley To Play in Senior Bowl
Jan. 3, 2011
MOBILE, Ala. -- TCU quarterback Andy Dalton and wide receiver/return specialist Jeremy Kerley have accepted invitations to play for the South squad in the 2011 Under Armour Senior Bowl.
The 62nd-annual Senior Bowl is Jan. 29 at 3 p.m. CST at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Ala. NFL Network will televise the game and all practices during the week.
The Senior Bowl annually features the nation's best seniors and top draft prospects on teams coached by NFL staffs. Senior Bowl practices and game week festivities are attended by more than 800 general managers, head coaches, assistant coaches, scouts and other front office personnel from all 32 National Football League teams.
Dalton was the Offensive Most Valuable Player of TCU's 21-19 Rose Bowl victory over Wisconsin. It was the third bowl game MVP of his career.
Dalton was the nation's leader in wins among active quarterbacks. He finished his career with a 42-7 record, including a 36-3 mark the last three years, while setting every major TCU passing record.
The Katy, Texas, native was named the Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year the last two seasons and was a 2010 finalist for the Manning Award and Johnny Unitas Award while being a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award and Davey O'Brien Award. He finished ninth in Heisman Trophy voting.
"Andy has proven to be one of the more prolific signal callers in all of college football over the last four years and we're very pleased that he'll cap it all off here in Mobile later this month at the Senior Bowl," Senior Bowl President and CEO Steve Hale said.
Kerley, one of three finalists for the Paul Hornung Award, has been named to multiple All-America teams this season. He was the Mountain West Conference Special Teams Player of the Year for the second straight season and the league's first-team All-MWC return specialist for the third consecutive year.
Kerley, from Hutto, Texas, is one of just two players in the nation to rank in the top 20 in punt returns (12.9 yards) and kickoff returns (27.7 yards) this season. He also led TCU with 56 receptions and 10 touchdown catches.
"Jeremy is an electrifying player any time he can get his hands on the ball," Hale said. "His versatility will really help him during Senior Bowl week and we're excited about having him here later this month."

- iPad Keyboard Dock (as it sounds with a USB power adaptor)
- iPad Dock (like a big iPod dock)
- iPad Case (protective angled case to improve the viewing angle of the iPad in day-to-day use
- iPad Camera Connection Kit (kit with dock to USB/dock to SD card readers)
- iPad USB power adaptor (6ft long main socket power cable)
Potential Problems
- Irregular (unspecified) widescreen aspect ratio for video playback
- 1024 x 768 aspect ratio not widescreen video friendly
- No integrated USB ports
- No card reader
- Non-removable battery
- Non-expandable memory
- No GPS in the WiFi only model!
- Unlocked iPad not great when network's don't use the micro SIM
- Mono audio speakers
- Prolonged typing on glass?
- No integrated camera {so no augmented reality!}
- No HDMI/Displayport
- No Ethernet Port
- Still no Adobe Flash support
- Limited codec support (AAC, MP3, H.264)
- Proprietary iBook eBook format
- No breakdown of 'up to' 10 hours battery life
- No mains power cable included
Bottom Line
For a product so massively hyped I think it is fair to say Apple certainly hasn't managed the Wow Factor like it did with the launch of the original iPhone. The iPad is certainly a competent product, but one that with its strong iPhone roots lies more closely to smartbooks than netbooks and keeps in place the typical fenced gate Apple likes to enforce about how its customers use its products.
On the plus side, there has been a lot of work that has gone into optimising iPhone OS for a larger screen with highlights including the enlarged Safari webpage view, split screen Inbox/email content view and productivity software, as well as the responsive multi-touch navigation that made the iPhone such a hit.
Overall though, I remain unmoved as to my original complaint about tablets in general: the form factor is more appealing in theory than it is in practice. Typing on the move will prove particularly difficult, especially with no picture frame-style arm support and I can see it getting marked quickly.
Furthermore, the compromises in functionality don't come with significant size and weight savings considering you'll get a full keyboard, 3G, WiFi, GPS and Linux OS on the Lenovo Skylight for just 170 grams more. Meanwhile pricing - while attractive at the entry level - in reality starts at $728 (32GB model + 3G) which equates to £450, more than any netbook and about the same price as a far more powerful and potentially practical CULV machine like the Acer Aspire Timeline 1810TZ. Throw in necessary accessories such as the mains powercord, USB and SD card adaptors, typically brutal UK price adjustment and you're looking at no change from £550/600.
How has the market reacted? At present Apple stock is down 5 per cent. How have we reacted? Well, congratulations go to Apple for building by far the best tablet computer we've seen to date, but that's somewhat like praising it for producing the best chocolate teapot ever made...
Update: TechCrunch Europe reports an Apple rep has confirmed to them the WiFi only pointless version of the iPad will hit the UK in March, but it may be June before we can get the 3G edition. This may well be due to the bizarre choice of a GSM 'micro SIM' (also known as a '3FF SIM'), which is not only rarely used by networks, but means you can't use one sim between your iPad and, say, a 3G dongle or laptop with integrated 3G.
For the record micro SIMs measure 15 x 12 mm compared to a regular sim's 25 x 15 mm form factor and seem wholly unnecessary. Yet more sigh...
Update 2: Apple has finally put the full iPad keynote live, should you be a fan of masochism.
