|Team-building never stops: Patriots have always made a few moves during slow portion of NFL calendar
|06.23.16 at 1:24 pm ET
While the NFL transaction wire slows dramatically between the middle of June and the end of July — and the start of training camp — it's worth reminding people that there's always seems to be some roster movement in that stretch, including from the Patriots.
In 2013 — not counting the signing of their own draft picks — the Patriots made eight personnel moves between the end of minicamp (June 13) and the start of training camp (July 25), including the release of tight end Aaron Hernandez and wide receiver Donald Jones.
In 2014 (again, not counting the signings of their own draft picks), the team made 10 moves between the middle of June and end of July, including the announcement of Armond Armstead's retirement. And during that same stretch in 2015, the team added free-agent quarterback Matt Flynn and released tight end Fred Davis.
Fundamentally, always keep in mind that even though the coach may be spending most of his days on his boat — and the moves are rarely seismic in nature — the team-building process never stops.
|After several medical battles, Armond Armstead finally announces his retirement
|07.16.14 at 3:39 pm ET
The mystery over Armond Armstead has ended in retirement.
The 23-year-old defensive tackle originally signed with the Patriots on Feb. 1, 2013, after one season with the Toronto Argonauts. The 6-foot-5, 305-pounder, who was brought in as potential depth along the defensive line, was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury List on Aug. 26, 2013.
There was plenty of speculation about his future in New England before the move to place him on the NFI list and over the course of this offseason, including OTAs and minicamp.
But all of that ended Wednesday, eight days before the opening of full training camp. as it turned out, Armstead could never fully recover after surgery on July 29, 2013 to treat an undisclosed infection.
"It has been a pleasure being around Armond, as he gave everything he could to play for us," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Wednesday in a team-issued statement. "Armond worked extremely hard since joining us last February. He's had a lot of adversity personally that he's had to deal with, unusual compared to most other players, but he's always had a great attitude, worked hard and really did everything we asked him to do.
"While it is unfortunate he will not be able to play football, Armond is an outstanding young man who has a very bright future in whatever path he chooses."
Armstead played for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in 2012 out of the University of Southern California. He compiled 43 tackles, two special teams tackles and six sacks with Toronto. He was also named to the CFL All-Star game and helped Toronto win the Grey Cup. He started in 24 games at USC from 2008 through 2010.
Armstead suffered a heart attack while playing for USC, a medical event which he has blamed on unsolicited injections of the pain medication Toradol. That led to a lawsuit against the USC team physician, University Park Health Center, and an unnamed pharmaceutical company for unspecified damages, claiming the improperly administered Toradol injections caused the heart attack and affected his NFL career.
|At this point in offseason, where are Patriots personnel priorities?
|04.04.14 at 9:55 pm ET
With the offseason now one-third of the way done — and most of free agency now complete — the Patriots still have to address a few specific areas of need as part of the team-building process. Here's a look at four personnel questions that have to be dealt with between now and the start of training camp.
Backup linebacker: Brandon Spikes and Dane Fletcher departed as free agents this offseason, with Spikes heading to Buffalo and Fletcher signing with Tampa Bay. Neither were starters, but over the last two seasons, both were called upon to play significant snaps for the Patriots. As a result, New England is a little thin when it comes to their linebacker depth. Currently on the roster, the Patriots have a few possibilities when it comes to backing up the expected starting trio of Jerod Mayo, Dont'a Hightower and Jamie Collins, including Steve Beauharnais, who just finished his rookie season. But their pursuit of veteran free agent Wesley Woodyard was likely a sign they believe they need more help when it comes to depth at the spot.
Strong safety: Steve Gregory was cut loose earlier this offseason, and Adrian Wilson was released on Friday. And while the Patriots did bring back Patrick Chung on Thursday, there's some uncertainty as to what New England plans on doing at the position. Two things to remember: one, the Patriots like their defensive backs to be versatile, and so shuffling DBs from one spot to another wouldn't be a surprise. And two, on that same vein, there are some possibilities on the roster, including Duron Harmon and Logan Ryan, the latter of whom has been the subject of much speculation this offseason when it comes to a possible move to free safety. In addition, there's Tavon Wilson, who slid down the depth chart in 2013 to more of a special teams role, one that's also occupied by fellow safeties Kanorris Davis and Nate Ebner. (And there's always the possibility that Gregory could return on a reworked deal — he said this week despite the fact that he was cut by New England, "it would definitely be a place I would love to go back to.") Regardless of whether or not New England decides to address the position in the draft, right now, it's shaping up to be one of the more intriguing camp battles this spring and summer.
Situational pass rusher: The Patriots were believed to be at least partially in the mix for Jared Allen in free agency before he signed with the Bears, and while New England does currently have youngsters Jake Bequette and Michael Buchanan on the roster as backup defensive ends, it's a fair dropoff at this point from the starting duo of Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich. In terms of free agents who could still be on the market, Will Smith remains a possibility, but his recent injury woes leave him questionable at this stage of his career. When it comes to other in-house possibilities, Andre Carter could return for at least part of the season if New England struggles to find help — he sure sounds open to the possibility of returning. In addition, Armond Armstead could also be in the mix as an interior pass rushing presence at some point if he ever does get healthy. It's also expected that if veteran Tommy Kelly can stay on the field, he'll offer some support as another interior pass rushing presence in 2014.
Depth at tight end and running back: While New England appears to be set when it comes to starters at the two positions, it could really use some depth at both spots, and both will likely be addressed in some form or fashion come the second and/or third day of the draft. Despite the fact the Patriots might be more inclined to move away from the two-tight end sets they ran over the last few seasons, another tight end to compliment Rob Gronkowski could be had in this draft, especially given the fact that this year appears to be a pretty good one for tight ends. In addition, the fact that the Patriots made a serious play for veteran free agent running back Maurice Jones-Drew could be taken as a sign they feel like they need someone to replace LeGarrette Blount in the backfield.
|Bill Belichick: 'Less likely now' that Armond Armstead will be able to contribute in 2013
|11.11.13 at 2:57 pm ET
It appears that with each passing day, it's less and less likely defensive lineman Armond Armstead will be able to contribute to the Patriots in 2013.
Speaking on a conference call with reporters Monday, coach Bill Belichick indicated that New England is "running out of time," when it comes to Armstead's situation.
"We'll keep going but as you said, we're running out of time," Belichick said when quizzed about the possibility of Armstead being ready to go. "I'd say that looks less likely now with each day that goes by."
Armstead, a former CFL star who was acquired this offseason by the Patriots, underwent surgery for an infection prior to the start of training camp, and was placed on the reserve/NFI list as a result. Teams have until the conclusion of Week 11 of the season for players on reserve lists to begin practicing, which is this week.

|Patriots practice Thursday: Tommy Kelly, Leon Washington and Jamie Collins missing
|10.10.13 at 10:47 am ET
FOXBORO — Tommy Kelly and Leon Washington missed their second straight practice on Thursday while defensive end Michael Buchanan returned as the Patriots worked out in sweats and shells on the upper grass fields outside Gillette Stadium. Linebacker Jamie Collins, who was not on Wednesday's injury report, was not present either for the start of practice.
Kelly left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter holding his right knee and limped off the field. Washington suffered an ankle injury and was replaced by Devin McCourty in the kick return game.
Also of note, running back Shane Vereen and defensive lineman Armond Armstead made an appearance on a separate practice field and were spotted working out in sweats. Vereen had a brace on his right wrist, the wrist that was broken in Week 1 in Buffalo. Armstead, who spent the first five weeks on the non-football illness list, has been recovering from an infection that required surgery in the summer.
The team is continuing on-field preparations for the Saints this Sunday at Gillette Stadium.
On Wednesday, in an effort to add depth along the defensive line, which is already without Vince Wilfork for the rest of the season, the team signed former Panthers defensive tackle Andre Neblett on Wednesday.
|Five thoughts on how Patriots might try to replace Vince Wilfork
|09.30.13 at 7:14 am ET
Five thoughts on what the Patriots might do after losing Vince Wilfork:
1. If Wilfork is indeed lost for a serious stretch, the Patriots could make the shift to a three-man defensive front, utilizing Tommy Kelly on the nose and Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich as defensive ends. Kelly does have some positional versatility in that area, but in the past, he hasn't sounded all that crazy about the idea of working as a nose tackle in the 3-4. It remains to be seen if he'd change his tune now that he's here in New England, but it doesn't seem like a realistic, long-term possibility. It would present the intriguing possibility of the Patriots — who have played a TON of nickel through the first four games — to go with some sort of 3-3-5 scheme as opposed to the 4-2-5 which they've favored to this point. That could make for some interesting personnel combinations, and also open the door for more playing time for linebacker Brandon Spikes.
One short-term possibility could be the increased use of Jones as a defensive tackle — the Patriots shifted the Syracuse product down from the defensive end spot on a number of occasions over the first four games in hopes of creating chaos on the interior for guards and centers, and the long and lean Jones has done well in that role. (Rookie Michael Buchanan filled Jones' spot at defensive end.) However, the 6-foot-5, 265-pound Jones is lighter than your usual defensive tackle, and so it's questionable how he'd be able to hold up against the run on a consistent basis. But for 10-15 snaps a game, it remains a distinct possibility.
2. The Patriots could go out and sign someone to serve as an extra defensive tackle. There are several veteran free agents who are still in the market — frankly, it's just a matter of determining who still has some tread on their tires and who is done. Casey Hampton and Sione Po'uha are two guys who certainly fit the mold as space-eating defensive tackles who are still available, but you'd have to gauge their interest in a return to the NFL even before you discussed the possibility of a workout.
3. Interestingly, several of the guys who are out there have connections to New England. Richard Seymour, Ron Brace and Kyle Love are three free agent possibilities. (Given the history between the two sides, it might be a bit of a longshot to say Seymour would return to New England. But you never know.) A second-round pick out of Boston College in 2009, Brace was considered a bit of an underachiever in his stint with the Patriots, and was cut loose late last year. And Love was released this past May after it was revealed he had Type-2 diabetes. He was quickly claimed by the Jags, but was a victim of the final round of cuts before the start of the season. The 25-year-old has had workouts with the Niners and Seahawks since the season began, but hasn't hooked on with any other team to this point. Nicknamed "Mini V" because of his playing style and his unabashed love for Wilfork, he'd be an intriguing possibility if everything was equal. There's always the possibility of a trade, but that market is unclear, at least at this point in the season.
4. The Patriots do have some possibilities currently on the roster, including Chris Jones and Joe Vellano. The 6-foot-2, 306-pound Jones, a sixth-round pick out of Bowling Green who was picked up off waivers from the Texans earlier this month, was pressed into service Sunday night when Kelly was out for a spell. He teamed with Vellano, a 6-foot-2,
200– 300-pounder out of Maryland who played well in spot duty through the first four games of the season. (Vellano had his first sack of the year Sunday night when he busted through the line in the second half and took down Matt Ryan.) In addition, two practice squad possibilities are A.J. Francis, a former college teammate of Vellano who checks in at 6-foot-5 and 316 pounds who was added from the Dolphins earlier this month, as well as Marcus Forston, a 6-foot-3, 305-pound defensive tackle who has spent a year in the system (most of the time working as a practice squad guy) learning at the foot of fellow Miami product Wilfork.
It's also worth mentioning that the Patriots don't need to do anything. In a series of Tweets early Monday morning, Scott Kacsmar of Football Outsiders made an interesting case for standing pat, saying that other teams have done as much in the past when they've lost a comparable defensive tackle, and the difference has been negligible.
5. The Patriots do have a couple of guys who might be able to fill the spot, but their hands are tied, at least for the next few weeks. At 6-foot-5 and 305 pounds, Armond Armstead is a pass rushing lineman who is more of a defensive end than tackle, but does have some positional versatility and could kick inside. However, the former CFL sack king is currently on the reserve/NFI list because of a medical issue (surgery for an infection), and is eligible to return to action in a few weeks. In addition, Cory Grissom, a rookie defensive tackle out of South Florida who was placed on IR this summer and will be out for the entire 2013 season.
|Five thoughts on Patriots' initial round of cuts and who might still be out there to help New England
|08.26.13 at 2:41 pm ET
1. There were no surprises in the initial round of roster cuts that were conducted by the Patriots on Monday. A few thoughts regarding some of the moves:
A) The decision to place defensive lineman Armond Armstead on the reserve/non-football injury list brings some clarity to a murky situation. Armstead, a CFL export who was one of the best pass-rushers north of the border last year, hasn't practiced to this point in camp, and the team announced early that he had some sort of surgery for an infection. (Bill Belichick indicated that whatever malady was dogging Armstead, it wasn't related to the heart issue he suffered as a collegian.) Now, we know that Armstead's issues are more short-term — with the reserve/NFI designation, he isn't eligible to start practicing until after the sixth week of the season.
B) Putting rookie defense lineman Cory Grissom and second-year tackle Markus Zusevics on injured reserve effectively ends their seasons, but at the same time, speaks to just how much the Patriots believe they can help long term that they would be willing to keep them around — albeit on the shelf — for the entire season instead of cutting them loose and coming to some sort of injury settlement with them. Grissom showed a real feistiness through his first camp with New England, but reportedly suffered a knee injury in last Thursday's game against the Lions. As for Zusevics, this will mark the second consecutive season he'll start on the sideline. The Iowa product, who suffered a pectoral injury at the combine, started his rookie season on the reserve/NFI List before being activated on Nov. 22, 2012.
C) As for the players who will benefit the most from the personnel decisions on Monday, with Armstead on the shelf for at least the first six games, defensive tackles Joe Vellano, Marcus Forston and Anthony Rashad White likely will compete for the role of backup defensive tackle behind Tommy Kelly and Vince Wilfork. With Zusevics out for the year, that likely will open up a spot as a backup tackle.
D) It wouldn't be a surprise to see linebacker Niko Koutouvides back on the 53-man roster sooner rather than later. The special teams ace bounced on and off the New England roster in 2011 and 2012, and his familiarity with the system, good nature and the financial flexibility he offers from a contractual standpoint means there's a good chance he could return at some point this season.
2. As you probably know by now, the first round of cuts did not involve quarterback Tim Tebow. Tebow should get an opportunity in Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants. Looking back through the box scores of the fourth preseason game over the last few years, it's important to note that while Tom Brady has seen some action (he played in 2010 and 2011), it's also a chance for the third-stringer to see some of his most extensive action of the preseason: Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett both played in 2012 and 2011, while Zac Robinson played in 2010.
3. When it comes to players getting cut loose who might appeal to the Patriots, quarterback Ricky Stanzi might be intriguing for a few reasons. First, the former Kansas City signal-caller has some experience working with former Chiefs (and current New England assistant) Brian Daboll. And second, Stanzi — like Brady — was a disciple of the late Tom Martinez, a Bay Area quarterback guru. And three, in addition to his work with Martinez, Stanzi also has another connection to the Patriots ' while at Iowa, he played for former Belichick assistant Kirk Ferentz, and Belichick certainly has an affinity for student-athletes who come of age while playing collegiately for an ex-assistant (Ferentz, Nick Saban, Pat Hill and Charlie Weis).
4. There were a couple of other names who became available on Monday, including veteran wide receiver Donte' Stallworth. The 32-year-old Stallworth, who was cut loose by the Redskins, made no bones about the fact that he loved playing for the Patriots, having suited up in New England in 2007 and 2012. (Last year, he was in on one play, a 62-yard touchdown reception against the Texans.) While it remains to be seen how much he has left in the tank, if he doesn't get picked up, he might be an intriguing in-season addition for the Patriots if one of the young receivers ends up struggling with his transition to the pro level.
5. The Bills will start rookie quarterback Jeff Tuel in the regular-season opener against the Patriots next month. While Bill Belichick said Monday afternoon that the analysis of who might be starting for Buffalo in the season opener hadn't really started at this point, it's clear the Patriots have a good handle on what sort quarterback they'll be facing. The Washington State product is a 6-foot-3, 218-pounder who had a workout with the Patriots on March 22 as part of the pre-draft process. Tuel was the most accurate passer in Washington State history, having completed just over 61 percent of his passes, and started all four seasons in college. (The only other WSU QB to start as a freshman? Drew Bledsoe.) While he struggled with injuries as a collegian — dislocated kneecap, broken clavicle and leg injuries all limited his time — he finished his college career with 5,932 yards passing and 33 touchdowns. (For what it's worth, I believe that Tuel would have made a nice late-round or UDFA pickup for the Patriots this past spring.)

MSU (11-1) will enter the Christmas break on a six-game winning streak. When play resumes, MSU will face Southeastern Louisiana at 7 p.m. Monday night at home (SEC Network +) and then South Florida at 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 30 in Jacksonville, Florida, as part of the SEC/AAC Challenge (SEC Network).
"It wasn't pretty," MSU head coach Vic Schaefer said. "They had 13 more makes at the free throw line than we did. We shot 33 percent in the second half. We had a lot of things go wrong that could spell defeat, but we found a way to get a couple of stops late.
"We found a way to win. That's three wins in three days. SMU played really well. That is a smart basketball team. We need to get back into the gym and practice, but we are glad to be 11-1."
Basketball Forum Thread: McCowan Leads No. 9 Bulldogs to 90-68 Win
Victoria Vivians led the Bulldogs with 18 points, including another hot start with a 16-point first quarter. Vivians has scored in double figures in 11 straight games and has led the Bulldogs in scoring eight times.
Ketara Chapel had 13 points and Chinwe Okorie added 10 points. Vivians and Okorie each had a team-high eight rebounds. Morgan William had six assists, while Vivians had four steals.
"My goal has been to be more aggressive," Chapel said. "Coach showed me the film of some of my games from last season. The biggest thing is having more confidence and believing in my teammates."
Schaefer said more confidence on the offensive end of the floor has been the key for Chapel during the win streak.
"Ketara had a great tournament," Schaefer said. "I called her in two weeks ago and showed her some stats from a year ago. She really responded. She has always been a great defender, but right now she plays with some great confidence on offense."
MSU Class of 2017 Commitment Myah Taylor Video Highlights
The Bulldogs started on fire offensively. An early 10-0 run was capped by a layup from Okorie and placed the Bulldogs on top 18-5. The Bulldogs would stretch the lead to 15 at 27-12 on a basket by Vivians and free throw by William.
MSU hit 12 of 23 shots from the field in the opening quarter and led 31-21 at the end of the period.
A layup by Richardson ran the lead back to 39-25 with 6:51 left in the half. SMU later scored the final four points to close within 46-39 at the break.
MSU held a 65-54 lead entering the final period but to was able to hang on for the victory. In the final quarter, the Bulldogs scored seven points and only hit 2 of 8 shots from the field.
A layup by Vivians ran the Bulldogs' lead to 69-64 with 4:24 left. However, MSU needed some stops on the defensive end to overcome some free throw misses late.
"The main thing is doing things to help the team win," VIvians said. "If the shots aren't falling, then someone else will be making them. So you have to do the other things necessary to win."
For the contest, the Bulldogs hit 29 of 74 shots from the field (39.2 percent), 6 of 15 shots from 3-point range (40.0 percent) and 8 of 22 shots from the foul line (36.4 percent). The Mustangs hit 24 of 59 shots from the field (40.7 percent), 1 of 5 shots from 3-point range (20.0 percent) and 21 of 28 shots from the foul line (75.0).
SMU held a 49-40 rebounding advantage. The Bulldogs had 14 assists and 10 turnovers, while the Mustangs had six assists and 19 turnovers. It was the eighth time this season the Bulldogs had more assists than turnovers.
SMU (5-6) received 21 points from McKenzie Adams and 14 points from Gabrielle Wilkins.

A few months ago I started carrying an SR9c at another 4 or 5 o'clock while still carrying th LCP. I want my dominant hand to be the one reaching for a pistol. Plus I have become so accustomed to having my LCP and holster in my right pocket that I feel oddly "naked" when its not there.


text: Politics 3 December 2007 Guilty pleasures The trials and tribulations of knitting a gansey Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Okay, so I gave in to temptation. I admit it. But what's wrong with that, tell me? What shame in that? After all, it's only a jumper. Yes, after some days of deliberation, hesitation and procrastination, I finally sat down at the knitting machine and made myself a jumper. And I have to say, I'm rather pleased with myself. And it. I had forgotten how much work was involved in the creation of a garment. All that measuring, counting, reducing, grafting, making mistakes, fixing mistakes, taking long rests; I was quite worn out by the end of it. I admit that I did have some help with the more difficult bits. In fact I had quite a lot of help with quite a lot of the bits. Actually, it is probably stretching the truth somewhat to say that I really made the jumper myself. But I was certainly involved in the making of it. And more so than I am involved in the making of most jumpers. I have been proudly sporting this new jumper (gansey is the Shetland word) all around the isle, showing it off to anyone who is interested. Which unfortunately is nobody. But still, my pride is undimmed, and I have not taken it off in 12 days. I just can't wait to get the chance to show it off to a wider public. There, I am sure, it will find an appreciative audience. The more observant and knowledgeable amongst you will have noticed from the picture that I have been very sensible in choosing to use only two colours, instead of the standard plethora of tones. This was partly for reasons of fashion and good taste, and partly because it made my job a huge amount easier. Mainly it was the second reason. The constant changing of wool colours is what makes Fair Isle knitting so much more time-consuming than a plain or two-tone pattern. It also vastly increases your chances of making mistakes. So two colours was plenty for me. In the course of this task I have discovered that there is something very satisfying about making a piece of clothing for yourself. Like catching your own fish or growing your own vegetables, an involvement with the process increases enormously the pleasure in the result. And believe me, I am very pleased. Not that I'm thinking of taking up knitting more regularly of course. I certainly am not. This will undoubtedly be the first, last and only jumper I ever make for myself. The knitting machine has been packed up and given back to its rightful owner now, and I shall not be allowing it back in the house again. Even if it asks very nicely. One jumper is quite enough for any man, after all. I have been wondering about crochet though. › Greens to have a leader Malachy Tallack is 26 and lives in Fair Isle.

A woman who posed as a former co-worker online to try and trick men into raping the unwitting colleague has been jailed for six years.
Joanne Berry, 30, went onto sex chatrooms and assumed the identity of the victim, giving out her address online and asking men to act out violent rape fantasies with her.
Maidstone Crown Court heard how Berry had developed an "irrational vendetta" against the victim, Judge David Grifith-Jones QC said, and may have held her responsible for losing her temporary job.
Berry had displayed "increasingly erratic behaviour at work," he added and later was said to have embarked on a "wicked and calculated" crusade against the victim.
She spoke to men on websites such as Cougar Shag, asking them to act out "some sort of rape scenario," Kent Online reports, before handing over the colleague's address in Medway.
Her twisted plan eventually led to one man trying to force his way into the unsuspecting woman's home to perform the 'role play', which he stopped when he realised he had been set up.
After the incident he wrote a letter of apology to the woman and said that he had been duped by a "very deranged person."
The attempts by south Londoner Berry had been made between April and June 2012, but she was convicted in May of putting a person in fear of violence and was ordered to undergo psychiatric tests.
A search of her computers led officers to uncover conversations in which she'd ask to be "frightened".
The court heard one: "Grab me by the neck and really scare and intimidate me. Interested? Then you basically have free rein."
The mother-of-one was also convicted of committing an assault with the intention of committing a sexual offence, common assault and attempting to cause a person to engage in sexual activity without consent.Reuse content

My first Doctor Who fic. Set with Amy and the 11th Doctor. Rory isn't travelling with them. There may be spoilers up to The Lodger. Enjoy!
3.4 Billion Years in the future, in the Solar System of Healtoro, on the Planet of Piffealor, in an alien skyscraper, Amy and the Doctor were in a predicament.
"So basically, we're trapped in an elevator?" Amy asked the Doctor placing her hands on her hips.
"...yes." The Doctor replied, running his hands along the walls.
"Can't you sonic us out or something?" She asked doing a little imitation of The Doctor using his Sonic Screwdriver.
"Trying to. Not working though. Seems there's a frequency interfering with it. Probably what stopped the lift from working too..." He fiddled with the screwdriver in his hands and then with a grunt of frustration shoved it into one of his pockets.
"How about prying the door open?" Amy suggested.
"Amy, this lift is constructed from ionic galvanised steelorium from the mines of Plaethoon. The only way to open them would be extrapolation-induced magnetized clamps." His tone of voice implied this was an obvious fact.
"Uh right, so where can we get some of those clamp things?" She asked crossing her arms.
"Whoever's in charge of the lift operations should have some. We'll just have to wait for someone to work out that they aren't working and then, hopefully, they'll be able to get us out." He stated.
"And how long will that take?"
"Well judging by the malfunctioning of both this elevator and my screwdriver the technology in this entire building has probably gone awry. And that means..."
"That means?"
"It means it will take a few hours...or..."
"It could take a few days..." The Doctor mumbled.
"A few days?" Amy repeated in disbelief.
"Now now Amy, calm down we-"
"A few days!" She loudly cut him off.
"Look I know how it sounds, it really isn't that bad. You humans can live for weeks without food and look," he banged a panel on the wall and it opened to reveal what looked like a futuristic drink dispenser.
"See, water" he clapped his hands together "You'll be fine. It actually reminds me of the time I got stuck in a hydrothermal tank on the planet of Stwilnigorf" The Doctor rambled on, he was babbling actually. He was just as concerned by the idea as Amy, but for different reasons. Despite living in a blue box most of his life the doctor was a bit claustrophobic in a sense. The thought of being just stuck really did terrify a part of him, not that he would admit it. The Doctor did not wait, he didn't do waiting. Waiting was definitely not his thing.
Amy had calmed down after the initial shock of finding out she could be stuck in this confined space for days and stared at The Doctor who was pacing back and forth, talking more to himself than to her. He seemed almost nervous, not as nervous as the time she had tried to come onto him, nonetheless there was definitely an edge of nervousness surrounding him.
Speaking of coming onto him, the very situation they were in at the moment reminded her of a common scene found in the movies made back on Earth. A man and woman trapped in an elevator, tension in the atmosphere leading to you know what. Maybe being stuck in here with The Doctor wasn't such a bad thing...
"Doctor?" Amy prompted slyly.
"What?" He replied, snapping out of his reverie and making eye contact with her.
"You said it could take days to get out of here?" She took a step towards him.
"Yes." There was something about the tone of her voice he wasn't sure he liked.
"The two of us are trapped here?" Another step.
"Yes ." He noted the twinkle in her eye, a twinkle he had seen before.
"With no escape?" She closed the very little distance left between them.
"Yes." The last time she had acted like this was when they had gone back to her bedroom...
"Alone?" She inched her face closer to his. Boy he was really quite slow, wasn't he?
"Yes... oh. Ah, now wait a minute Amy!" It suddenly clicked what Amy was getting at.
"However will we pass the time?" As she inched further towards him he backed away.
"Well I know plenty of word games..." The Doctor stalled.
"Oh come on Doctor, who would want to play word games when there are much better things we could be doing?" Still backing away his escape was prevented by the cold hard steel wall pressing against his back. Amy placed her hands on his chest, staring into his eyes.
"Please Amy not again!" he pleaded.
"Why not?" He could feel her breath washing over his lips.
"I'm old enough to be your grandfather nine times over" he said all too aware of the close proximity of both their bodies.
"So? You don't look it." She raised an eyebrow suggestively.
"Amelia, I'm serious" he said in a very low voice. Amy sighed and stepped back.
"Fine, but I do have some time to convince you otherwise" and with that she slumped down on ground beside him, pouting as she leaned back against the wall.
The Doctor shortly joined her, sitting down next to her he sighed.
"You Earth girls really are unbelievable" he stated.
"You can talk, Time Lord. Most men wouldn't refuse what I'm offering." She teased
"Well, I'm not most men" he replied.
"I know." She smiled at him. "You're my present from Santa" she stated cheerily.
"I'm your what?" he looked at her with a dumbfounded expression.
"Well, that night we met I was praying to Santa for someone to fix the crack in my wall. Then you appeared in my back yard." She recalled simply.
"But wasn't it Easter?" He asked.
"Yeah. So?" She looked at him quizzically.
"Besides, Santa isn't allowed to distribute living presents anymore. I put a stop to that!" Pride was evident in The Doctor's voice.
"You what? Hang on, you're saying Santa's real?" This time Amy wore the dumbfounded expression.
"Course he's real." The Doctor looked at her like she had two heads, well like she had two heads and was really stupid.
"And I suppose that means the Easter Bunny's real too?" She asked.
"Don't be ridiculous! The Easter Bunny was just a hyper-hallucinogenic creation by a frightened Narpoxi" he shuddered "Scary that was."
"The Easter Bunny?" She repeated in disbelief.
"You would think the Easter Bunny was scary too if he was about to make you a life-sized chocolate!" he exclaimed.
Amy laughed. "You're amazing you know?"
"Yes. Yes I am." He grinned back at her. "And so are you Miss Amelia Jessica Pond, but not quite as much as me."
"Oh yeah?" And she punched him lightly on the arm.
"Oh yeah." He tilted his head back to rest against the wall, thinking through the possibilities that could lead to the pair's escape from this wretched elevator. "Our rescuers shouldn't be too far off now."
"I sure hope so." Amy said with a sigh resting her head on The Doctor's shoulder.
To Be Continued... Probably.
I want to keep going with this as a sort of adventure series but need some feedback to see if people like it. I tried to keep the romance subtle but failed miserably. Sorry. Oh and sorry for any typos/spelling errors/ grammar.

Ronda and her team cannot get any better. I stumbled upon Ronda's company with a Groupon coupon. I purchased the service and was mesmerized when walking my dog I noticed the gutters were sparkling clean but there were no leaves on the roof. Ronda and her crew went the extra step to clean off the roof. They even recommended adjusting my gutters so water would not build up. A wonderful experience provided by a professional organization. I will be coming back!
Ronda and her team did an awesome job cleaning our gutters. Highly recommend. Will use her again!
This company is wonderful and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their windows cleaned. The employees are very personable and professional. Prices are also very reasonable. They did such an awesome job cleaning our windows that we decided to go on a 6 month rotation with them.
Excellent job, fair price , I will use them each quarter to clean our windows
Metroplex Window and Gutter Cleaning exceeded our expectations. The crew arrived on time, did a great job on our gutters, and even repositioned one section of gutters so that future rain would drain better. We are extremely pleased with Rhonda and this company!

32 Part 3
It had been the last day at her primary school, when she was eleven years old. Her friends were sad, but she wasn't. She had been bullied at that school - it held few happy memories to make her sad to leave it. After the final bell had rung, she had run all the way to a local park.
It wasn't really a big park. It was a small patch of grass that was hidden away from the road, and could only be reached by a narrow path. Not many people went there, because not many people knew about it. It was a great place to have private conversations: there was little or no chance of being overheard.
Anna had spread her grey cardigan on the floor so that her skirt didn't get wet, and she had sat down, staring at the sunlit sky. She sat there for several hours, just thinking and praying. When sunset came, she pulled out her phone and took a photo of the way that the rays of light burst out of the clouds, and knew that nature was too precious to be destroyed by humans. I'll save it, she had thought.
Night fell. Her mum had rung her several times, so Anna turned off her phone. She didn't want to worry them, but this was just something she had to do. She watched as the stars gradually became visible. Several streetlights in the area weren't working - the sky was much clearer than it normally was, and she could see more stars than ever she had in a London sky. It was a beautiful sight, and she pulled out a notepad.
A sky full of stars, she had written, but she never got any further. She looked at her watch accidentally and saw that it was ten o'clock. Her mother would be in hysterics looking for her; her father, Greg, would be trying to calm her, when what he should be doing was fixing the car. Anna had jumped to her feet, running all the way home.
"Don't ever do that to us again!" her mother had told her. "We were scared out of our wits." Anna had promised, but it was not a promise she had kept.
The car drew to a halt, pulling Anna out of her memories with a jerk. She looked up, and saw that they had reached the church. Swallowing back a new lump in her throat, one that had grown from terror, Anna climbed carefully out of the car.
Two assistants held the door of the church open as she went inside, followed by her two bridesmaids in dresses of fire. She heard a gasp from the audience but ignored them. Maybe she would have looked to see what they were seeing if she had realised, but she didn't know that the sun had chosen that moment to break through the clouds and send a ray of light to envelop them at the doorway. They appeared only as silhouettes against a light so pure and bright that all of the townsfolk covered their eyes to shield themselves from its piercing gaze.
"I should have known," Matt muttered to himself, and moved forward slightly, ready to receive his bride.

Pregnant Janet Jackson Spotted Out Shopping As Ex-husband Claims They Have a Secret Daughter Together
By Sugar Daily 2 2016-11-16T11:33:00+01:00 Serious Nyash Opening , Sugartainment
Janet Jackson kept her pregnant figure under wraps when she was spotted shopping for flowers in London earlier this month.
The 50-year-old covered her large baby bump in a loose-fitting black turtleneck as she stepped out of a shop in Mayfair while a helper followed carrying an orchid.
Janet wore her hair up and appeared to be make-up free for the outing.
It was confirmed last month that the singer is expecting her first child with husband Wissam Al Mana, who she married in 2012.
But her ex-husband James DeBarge claims this pregnancy is not her first. He claims they have a secret daughter together.
During an appearance on his daughter Kristinia's show Growing Up Hip Hop, she confronts him about the allegations.
"I'm tired of the secrecy. I'm tired of the truth not coming forward, and people being a coward when it comes to it. And I thought it was wise for me to speak out now because it needs to be addressed. To be honest with you, I didn't know. I was under the impression that there was no baby, and I wanted to believe it's not true. But it is," the 53-year-old says.
DeBarge had previously made the allegations to Radar Online, saying he had contacted the woman claiming to be a daughter he had with Janet.
"Someone had contacted me. She spoke to me by email, The first time was two years ago. I have not been able to directly see her face-to-face. One of her adoptive parents died. Her adoptive mother and on her death bed said she told her. She confirmed it on the deathbed," he added.
The singer, who was part of the band DeBarge, married Janet in 1984 and their union was annulled the following year.
DeBarge was released from prison last year after serving three years behind bars for assault with a deadly weapon and drugs charges.

by GIANFRANCO PANIZO
Vincenzo Bernardo has a decision to make.
Despite comments earlier in his career about wanting to suit up for the U.S., and contrary to some reports, Bernardo has yet to decide if he wants to play for the United States or Italy at the senior level.
In an exclusive interview with SBI, Bernardo revealed that his decision is far from made.
"I wouldn't say that I declared anything really," Bernardo said, referring to comments he made in 2007 on choosing the U.S. over Italy. "I was asked an important question that came when I was very young in my career. However, I do not regret anything I said regarding wanting to represent USA."
Bernardo's latest comments are sure to worry some American fans, who are all too familiar with drawing the short end of the stick when it comes to talented young players with dual citizenship. In 2008 alone, the U.S. lost two talented prospects, Giuseppe Rossi (Italy) and Neven Subotic (Serbia), to European countries.
Unlike Rossi and Subotic though, Bernardo has come out publicly and stated that his choice still remains in the hands of the U.S. Soccer Federation and U-20 head coach Thomas Rongen.
"My decision lies heavily on the U-20 cycle with USA," Bernardo said in an interview via email with SBI.
That U-20 cycle has not started well for Bernardo in 2009. In January, reports surfaced that Bernardo and three other players had been dismissed by Rongen from a U.S. training camp held in Sunrise, Fl. due to disciplinary reasons.
However, the latest disappointment came earlier this week when Bernardo failed to get called into the U-20 national team camp in Bradenton, Fl., home of the U.S. residency program. The 20-player team is making its final preparations for the U-20 World Cup qualifying tournament which starts in Trinidad and Tobago on March 6.
Bernardo would not disclose whether it was Napoli which prevented him from playing in the qualifying tournament or if Rongen decided to omit him from the team (A U.S. Soccer source told SBI that Bernardo was not chosen).
"I was told by the people around me not to comment on that question," Bernardo said.
Bernardo, who has his own website, also said that his ultimate short term goal is to play in the U-20 World Cup in Egypt in the fall.
"Today being almost three years older and more mature on and off the field, I've realized how important this decision is for me so I will take into serious consideration both options," Bernardo said.
"I do feel the same way as I did back in 2007, but I would say that I am more aware of the situation."
Bernardo is in no rush to make a decision. He has until his 21st birthday, May 22nd of 2011, to declare for a national team.
What do you think of Bernardo's comments? Shocked? Think the USSF/Rongen is letting another star-in-the-making get away? Do you see Bernardo suiting up for USA when everything is all said and done?
Share your thoughts below.
kpugs, you are not incorrect. As far as we know, Italy could care less about Bernardo.
Only thing I could find on the kid…
Watcha wanna bet we never hear from this kid again?
Turtle, napoli loaned bernardo to the ny team so he could participate in the tournament
Jeffrey, the only kinds of players you lose are the ones you DEVELOP. Rossi was developed by an Italian club to become an Italian youth international. Had he settled for the US after playing for Italian youth teams for 5 years, we would have been stealing him from Italy. Sorry, that's just how the cookie crumbles. And if being born in and spending a good part one's life in another country obligates one to play for that country, what do you make of Freddy Adu? But he was never developed by Ghana, so we didn't steal him, just like we never developed Rossi and therefore didn't lose him. It was always going to be Italy or nothing with him.
Posted by: Tim | February 27, 2009 at 02:50 PM
Thank you Tim !
Ives, Ives to the courtesy phone, Vincenzo's agent is playing games with you again just like he's been playing games with many of us for months now.
Like Turtle, I also just saw the comment on Vincenzo's website. Of course, no native English speaker wrote that, so we are all being whipped about by the Machiavellian delusions of Bernardo's agent.
It still doesn't change what I wrote earlier about Rongen needing oversight. It just makes no sense to get against a teenager with dual citizenship who is doing pretty decently in his career. Sure Bernardo may not be playing full time with Napoli's first team, but he apparently is with the Primavera squad and he does apparently have a professional contract with the club. Personally, I would gamble on including key kids with dual citizenships and excluding a comparable kid just with American citizenship. Because you can always go back to the Clint Dempsey you (Rongen) left of the squad and invite him back in at a senior level. But if the dual-citizenship player (Subotic) flies the coop, there's no getting him back in.
I like Rongen as a coach, I think he does very good work at the youth level and brings some great European/Ajax perspective to the preparation of our U-20s teams, but I can't deny that the kids playing defense in the last cycle were exposed and could have been helped by a Subotic.
I'm NO fan of Subotic. However, Subotic was rightfully upset about Rongen calling him out in the media and publicizing criticisms of him. Thus far, Rongen has not publicly called out any particular player to the media in this cycle. BUT he has called out ALL of the players publicly in this cycle numerous times when he's gone on record saying 'there are no "special" players in this U-20s cycle… this time we'll have a very workman-like approach to the team.' I believe that was stated in some ESPNSoccernet articles, I know for a FACT that it was stated to Glenn Davis in his radio show in Houston.
These nin-come-poops and ultra-maroons need to wonder about superboys attitude to.
His Prima coach has an issue with him and he got kicked out of the last U20 camp.
Grand. I wanna hire his agent. This is classic. SydFinchesque.
I don't play for my team. They let me play in some amateur tourney on cow fields for the NY Stars and we are gonna lose him to Italy! Haha!
LOL. My belly aches.
You can't lose something that was never yours to begin with, Ives. Yes, Rossi was born and raised here until he was a young teenager. However, he was never going to play for us. Plain and simple. There is nothing USSF could've done. He never played in our youth setup and signed on with Parma as a teen.
The USSF did reach out to him. He and his father had his heart set on Italy. So to put him alongside Subotic and this kid is disingenuous in that it suggests that USSF is somehow responsible. You are a decent writer and I like your blog and visit every day. I wish you would just acknowledge this reality.

Well Said. John Fish.
TK – I've trying to figure out how he played in that tournament with the NY Stars while being under contract with napoli until 2011 (according to his Biography on the website bearing his name). I can't find a mention of him on the Napoli website. I'm really curious of his actual status with that team. Sounds like hype to me. For me there are more questions about this kid than anything.
And then the-website-bearing-his-name comes out and says this website misrepresented his interview (that was conducted in writing!!!) and he absolutely wants to play for the USA.
I think "his people" have under-estimated A) the outrageous pride of US soccerfan and B) the power of Ives' blog.
he is rejecting all of this:
said that the US is his first choice.
Vincenzo Bernardo on http://www.soccerbyives.net interview
February 27, 2009
Vincenzo Bernardo said that he was misrepresented in his statements on the site http://www.soccerbyives.com. In the article, states Vincenzo having doubt with his decision to represent U.S.A.; which is false. He ASSURES to be very happy to be part of the U.S.A program and declares that this is his first choice TODAY, AND IN THE FUTURE. Vincenzo therefore rejects any statement opposite to that thought.
TK – the primavera coach is taking heat on multiple things, one of which is the exclusion of Bernardo… or at least this is the stuff ive picked up from multiple boards….
im not about to begin to say i know anything, b/c as far as this kid goes, there isnt any news…. but its prevalent that Napoli and their head coach are pretty high on the kid… especially since they wouldnt let some teams from Serie B buy him when they were trying to loan him out this winter….

This is a wild thought, but I think Dutch coaches have a very good eye for offensive talent as opposed to defensive stability. He didn't choose Subotic because he didn't have a very good sense of what a defense really needs. He understands what the attack needs. It needs creative, technical players (at least the way Rongen plays). At the last U-20 world cup USA was doing so well in terms of attack, the defense never had to worry because the attack was that good and could hold possesion. However in the end bad defensive play led to the U.S. getting knocked out. If Rongen doesn't believe Bernardo is good enough to come in as a forward/midfielder (which I think is his position), I trust his decision on that.
Again this is just a wild thought….
Abdus/Fuad Ibrahim didn't get called up either. Maybe he'll go native and suit up for Canada?
Haha, he's just stirring up some publicity. He'll play for the states.
Jacob A.
"Attualmente, è in forza alla primavera del Napoli"
That's from the info section of that youtube video someone posted earlier, and with my admittedly rusty Italian, I believe the video's poster thinks fondly of him, as I think that means "Also, he is a force in the Primavera for Napoli". I could also be well off.
Luke in NC
Yeah you gotta have standards and discipline on the youth squads…..but the goal is to help develop players for the nation. Sounds like Rongen might just be screwing up the main point of his job.
Rongen has to stand up to players like Arguez and Bernardo because if he doesnt then there will be no discipline in the team. Look at how many college football athletes were arrested last year. The coaches let them do whatever they wanted to and they ended up arrested and useless to their team and coach
Michael S
Check Bernado's official website. He says that he has been misrepresented on this site and is completely committed to the US. That's a pretty quick response I would say. Someone is checking SBI often in his camp.
I've got a question that somebody may know. If a person has dual citizenship and has not declared a country to represent, and is over 21, what happens? Or is a person forced by FIFA to make at decision when he/she turns 21.
If he hasn't been capped provisionally by age 21, a player is then free to play for any country of which he has citizenship (only one, mind you ;)) I don't think FIFA actually forces you to declare your nationality upon turning 21.

Beto, I would rather play for San Marino than Mexico

I can attest to the skills of Vini.
On my Footy Manager 2009 my max level Potential Ability Scout says that he would be a starter for most Premier League teams in the future.
I think the kid's been getting beaten up on in here. He's not Eddie Johnson. Who my max level scout said has the potential to be a star in the Premier League. You can't argue with that. EJ has more potential than anyone. Will we ever see it though?
oh danny boy
Can someone explain to me why all the sudden we are a farm system for Europe now. What's the problem with the US not getting any loyalty from these young players?
This Guy
You're right. Look at Amauri with Juve. He is Brasilian and was 27 when Italy wanted to get him naturalized. He now is getting called up by Brazil though.
Farrukh Quraishi
I think that it is wonderful that there is so much interest in the national teams programs and that people have a forum for expressing their opinions. However, I take issue with the personal attacks on Thomas Rongen's knowledge of the game and his ability to identify talent. It was Thomas Rongen, as head coach of the Tampa Bay Mutiny, who identified, drafted and developed Steve Ralston out of FIU when MLS first started. Thomas also identified and selected Frankie Hejduk in the same draft. Both players have been among the very best and most consistent players in the short history of MLS. Has he made any mistakes? Sure, but who hasn't? It's very easy to be an armchair critic. Cut the guy some slack. Coaching is not an exact science and the beauty of the game lies in the differing opinions about players, tactics and teams.
This may have been posted already. But on his personal website, there is a section that says that it refutes the article posted by http://www.soccerbyives.net saying that he will stay within the U.S. national team pool. So essentially everyone is bickering over nothing.
Could somebody post that link to whatever it said on this third string Italians personal Facespace Linkiden site… Thanks bro
Bernardo is a normal lock starter on the U-20 team and has been for the majority of the cycle. Check the match reports.
The statement on his Web site is interesting.
for everyone that says, this kid is bluffing he's not good enough, lets remember that in 2005 subotic was languishing on the bench at a bundesliga 2 side, subotic had talent that went unnoticed by the us, does bernardo have the same type of upside? is rongen the best we have at a u-20 level to judge that talent?
NS spent the fall "languishing" on the FIRST TEAM BENCH. Then he played the WHOLE spring. His FIRST TEAM coach backed him all of the way from the day he was there.
There is nothing remotely close to this. Napoli treats him like an after thought.
How the NY Stars doing? Can't even play for the reserve team (Prima). If you make comparisons at least make real ones.
Still laughing at this board in general. So little understanding of particular players and what their situations were. Ignorance and strong opinions abound. LOL stuff.
This Guy
Mainz is no Napoli. Napoli is one of the top in the World at producing. They ran into some trouble a couple years back and aren't as recognized by the newcomers to the World of Football but don't compare Mainz and Napoli.
something is fishy defenetly, iwas athe camp in sunrise and what happened to tab ramos the assistant coach? bernardo is only 18 and with far more talent and experiance than most; andyou can take that to the bank.
Thomas Rongen would do everyone a favor if he listed the CD's he picked over Nevin and why he considered them superior, (don't hold your breath).
USSF needs to look at Rongen's last statement that players need to be 100% committed to USA before he'll consider them. They're teenagers, and FIFA lets them go to 21 before they decide why can't Rongen?
Maybe these Euro-Gringos would rather not have to come back to the States for qualifiers to just get hacked around by the likes of Mexico?
For those of you wondering, SBI will be addressing the Bernardo story on Monday.
This kid plays in Italy for a mid-table team and Altidore trains with Villarreal, yet players like Brian Ching and Taylor Twellman start WC qualifiers and Rongen – who's missed out on every freaking dual citizen in the pool pushes this kid into Italy's waiting arms.
There are way too many things I don't understand.

The Battle of the ElementsMature
Four teenagers discover that they have elemental powers.
I stared at the piece of cardboard, as I had been doing for the past half an hour. There wasn't even a wisp of smoke to show for it. I didn't know what I was doing wrong - I could only set things alight when I didn't intend to. Annoying.
Earlier, I had been looking in the mirror of my dresser when the new candles, still in their packaging, had lit spontaneously and rolled off onto the floor. Melted wax and plastic had splattered on my carpet. I hadn't bothered cleaning it up.
Feeling my body start to heat up, I pulled my hair into a high ponytail, securing the back strands with about ten hair grips. The spontaneous combustion of things close to my body meant that my hair could never be any longer than shoulder length, it being so flammable and all.
Nobody knew why it happened. When my mum took me to the doctor about it, he was as confused as we were. In fact, I think he got all the other doctors in the surgery to check me over before they all agreed that there was nothing medically wrong with me and I should just "be careful" and that I probably shouldn't tell lots of people about it. Just to be on the safe side.
"Sam, dinner's ready!"
"Coming!" I looked momentarily away from my cardboard and when I looked back, it burst into flames in my hand.
Luckily, this weird ability came with enhanced burn protection, so all I felt was a warm sensation where the fire touched. I carried it across the room and put it out of the window.
"Sam, now please!"
"I'm coming!"
On my way downstairs, my palm started stinging, but I thought nothing of it until I sat down at the table and my mum casually remarked that she'd told me I'd come up in blisters if I carried on.
I looked at my hand. She was right. Blisters everywhere. Painful, too.
"We'll take you to Dr Samuels after you've eaten," she said.

Launched last month with precious little fanfare from Creative, the Zen MX is a new entry-level version of what was once the company's flagship player. I guess you could see it one of two ways: either as a rival to mid-range players like the Samsung YP-Q1 and Sony NWZ-E436F, or as an attempt to eke a little more out of the existing Zen range before Creative launches products based on its much-anticipated Zii processor. The Zen MX pretty much supports both interpretations.
For a start, Creative hasn't done much - if any - work redesigning the Zen bodywork. As far as I'm able to gather, the two look identical bar two small details. First, there's no longer an on/lock/unlock switch on the right edge between the mini-USB connector and the headphone socket. These functions have now shifted over to the lower rocker button on the face. Secondly, we get a change of logo on the back of the unit. Otherwise the dimensions (83 x 55 x 12mm) and the weight (66g) are the same, as is the gloss black plastic front, matt black rear and 2.5in screen. Luckily for Creative, the Zen design hasn't dated at all badly. It might not be as instantly desirable as the Samsung YP-P3, Cowon iAudio S9 or 4G iPod nano, but the Zen MX still looks good.
What's more, the Zen MX remains, in most key respects, a surprisingly well-equipped little player. There are still very few players out there with any sort of expansion capabilities, yet the MX has a full-sized SD memory card slot that will accommodate SD or SDHC cards, allowing you to easily double the 8GB or 16GB of storage already included in a moment. The screen is also very solid, the 320 x 240 resolution is perfectly ample for the size, and the support for a full 16.7 million colours is still quite impressive nearly two years on from the first Zen's launch. Viewing angles aren't great and colours aren't as bright or vibrant as those on, say, the Samsung YP-Q1, but clarity is up to scratch and you'll find the display perfectly adequate for short clips, the odd TV programme or viewing photos and slideshows.
The control layout user interface seems unchanged from the earlier Zen, which means it has its upsides and its downs in terms of usability. The D-Pad isn't particularly nice to use and the two-way buttons above and below are labelled rather ambiguously, though it doesn't take long to work out that the top one is back and menu while the bottom one works as the lock/unlock control, a play/pause button and an on/off switch. I actually expected the button in the middle of the D-Pad to do play/pause as well as select tracks or choose menu options, but curiously it doesn't. Nor does it start and pause recording when you use the voice recorder function, which takes a bit of getting used to.

Typo p1: "allowing you to easily double the 8MB or 16MB of storage already included" - you meant GB!
I have one of the original 8GB ones. Now scratched all over but still almost as intuitive to use as an iPod. Happy with it. I use the full version of Media Monkey to fill it. This will convert my FLAC collection to MP3 on the fly, deals well with podcasts etc. Well worth the tenner and I believe it will also sync 3G iPhones and thus remove the iTunes stranglehold.
My sister has been through 2 Zens. Build quality is awful. Both just stopped working, I think its a bad link with the battery but cant open the bugger to check
"easily double the 8MB or 16MB"
A whole 32mb?!? I may as well through out my iPod straight away :P
My old flatmate had this and it still works well. Just needs a screen protector as the screen is very scratchy.
had 2. 4GB was a scratch magnet and stopped working. changed it for a 8GB. brilliant player, the custom button worked a beaut, used it to auto shuffle.
just a question, does the memory card integrate with the main memory, or are they both separate (like the old one annoyingly was)
I'm afraid they're still separate - irritatingly enough. Flicking between the onboard memory and the SD card isn't a long-winded process, but it's a shame you can't work from one integrated library.
Everyone else
We'll fix that typo pronto ; )
@ Thomas
"through out your iPod"? Peaple in glass houses...
@ Shi An De, "Peaple in glass houses..."
So much fail...
I have had the Zen for 20 months ago and have found it a great performer on all counts.....except one which I would have expected to correct in the new MX. That is, the media on the SD SDHC card does not sync with the basic core songs management software. Most of the desirable features dont work with the cards and as such the utilization of the card media is clunky and very primitive at best.
Creative got lots of complaints on this and they never addressed it in any upgrades that I know of.
Unless they have fixed this in the MX, it is like buying two players.
Plays a proprietary video format only? Obviously Creative ignored all customer suggestions when they designed this "updated" model. Zen users wanted MORE codecs, not less. That was the great thing about Creative players, they were far less picky about the formats they would play. Now all of a sudden they are taking the choice away from their customers and forcing them to use some unknown format.
I understand some people will not have the knowledge to convert their videos to a portable format, so they need a simple bundled app - and thats fine. But what about the users who use ATI Stream or Nvidia Cuda apps to quickly transcode their videos to an MP4 format? My idea of an upgraded product is one that gives me more features - not less.
Sorry Creative, but you just lost a customer.

Giving away floaters in Austin - Gone
I have a substantial amount of floating plants of various species I need to unload before I go on vacation so they don't completely cover my tanks and asphyxiate my fish. Among them are amazon frogbit (limnobium laevigatum), cystalwort (Riccia fluitans), and duckweed. Two other species are also available, PM me for details. All free. May contain neocaridina, snails, scuds, and duckweed.
Also looking for Azolla caroliniana (I know, like I really need more floating plants).
All gone! I'll try to do this again soon. Thanks to all the awesome people who gave my plants a new home.
I would love to take some of the cystalwort (Riccia fluitans) off your hands:smile:!
Let me know if you have any left, please.
Still have a bunch of amazon frogbit, water lettuce, and water spangles left. In about 5 days it will hit the compost bin, get it while it's alive!
How big does the water lettuce get? Lettuce know! Lol
