On not having Josh Howard on this year's team:
"That's the beauty of college basketball. There are no seven, eight or nine-year contracts. You go to school for four years, earn your degree and move on with your life. And that will be one of the charms of practice - to find out where Josh's points and rebounds will come from this year. That's why I'm anxious to start - to find that out for myself."
On the freshman class:
"I'm excited about this class. I like their character. As far as how well they'll perform, we'll find that out tomorrow at 11 a.m. This is a good class of people and I think they're joining a good group of upperclassmen."
On the improvement of Eric Williams:
"He now has a year under his belt. His reps will get increased and his skills will improve. I think he'll learn to anticipate more than react, which should hopefully keep him out of foul trouble. If he becomes more anticipatory rather than reactionary, those fouls should take care of themselves."
On the addition of Boston College to the ACC:
"It makes sense, symmetrically speaking. If you're going to go to 11 it makes sense to have 12. I think Boston College is an excellent school and a good fit for the ACC. I think Al Skinner (BC basketball coach) is a great coach. I called him this week and congratulated him and welcomed him to the league."
Freshman Chris Paul
On coming into a new system:
"I'm learning a whole new system, I'm getting a lot of different plays thrown at me. But I meet with the coaches regularly to talk about it. I've also talked to Taron - he's really taken me under his wing."
On playing in front of the hometown crowd:
"My teammates are already teasing me - they've been calling me the mayor of Winston-Salem. But I love being close to home. I'm very family-oriented and I like having my family and friends nearby."
Sophomore Justin Gray
On coming back from the injury last season: "The injury did a lot of for me. It taught me a lot. I learned to be more patient. While I was sitting there just watching the game I could see everything on the floor and how plays developed."
On last year's disappointing finish (NCAA second-round loss to Auburn):
"We've been using it as motivation ever since that game ended. We've been telling the younger guys that you can't take any game lightly, that you can't get complacent."
On a new look on the perimeter this season:
"I think we'll have a quicker game. Last year we had size on the perimeter. This year we'll be smaller but I think we can go more up-tempo. It will be tough without Josh (Howard) but we knew that the day he graduated - actually the day after the Auburn game. We just need people to step up."

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We do adopt to all age groups, depending on the needs of the dog.
The dogs come from shelters, other rescue groups and people who surrender their dogs in the St Louis area.
Top Reasons for Pet Relinquishment to Shelters:
1. Moving
2. Landlord issues
3. Cost of pet maintenance
4. No time for pet
5. Inadequate facilities
6. Too many pets in home
7. Pet illness
8. Personal problems
9. Biting
We do our own temperament testing and then take the dogs into our foster homes and observe their behavior. We teach them some basic obedience and give them some needed love and attention.
We will try to help you decide on a dog that matches your needs and life style. We are very truthful about the good and bad behavior of the dogs in our foster homes and pay attention to their energy level. Some dogs only need a warm lap to sit on and some dogs need an active family where they will get lots of exercise.
It is difficult to find homes for senior dogs and they are often put to sleep because no one has time for them. Older pets make great companions, especially for seniors. The majority of older pets are already housebroken, have been trained to walk on a leash, and are calmer and more settled in life.
1. Pets Lower Blood Pressure.
A study of health patients showed that people over 40 who own pets have lower blood pressure than people who do not have pets. Another study showed that talking to pets decreased blood pressure.
2. Fewer Trips to the Doctor.
Seniors who own dogs go to the doctor less often than those who do not. In a study of 1,000 Medicare patients, even the most highly stressed dog owner/guardians in the study had 21 percent fewer physican contacts than non-dog owner/guaradians.
3. Less Depression.
Studies show that seniors with pets do not become depressed as often as those without pets.
4. Easier to Make Friends.
Seniors with pets meet more people and like to talk about their pets.
5. Seniors become More Active.
Seniors with pets go for more walks and are generally more active than those without pets.
6. Pets are Friends.
Most everyone, but especially seniors, will say that pets are their friends.
7. Pets Ease Loss.
Older people who suffer the loss of a spouse and own a pet are less likely to experience deterioration in health following that stressful event.
8. Pets Fight Loneliness.
You are less likely to be lonely with a canine friend around.
9. Take Better Care of Themselves.
Seniors take good care of their pets and better care of themselves when they own a pet.
10. Sense of Security. Pets help seniors to feel that someone they trust is always around.
It is our mission to place older dogs in the loving homes of older people in the St Louis area and to continue to assist whenever needed. However, we do adopt to all ages, depending on the needs and age of the dog.
1. All of our dogs are listed on
Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet websites. You can view
them at seniors.petfinder.com or on
our website under Available Dogs.
2. We bring our dogs to the Kirkwood
Petco the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month from 10 am to 2 pm.
You may come and meet the dogs and
talk to their foster parents about their
behavior. This store is located on Lindbergh
just north of I-44. Turn left at the first major stoplight.
3. You may complete an application for adoption at Petco or on our website or download an application here. In most cases we require a fence. Also, we do not adopt to a family with small children.
4. The foster parents may set up a home visit. We ask for a $250 adoption donation for adult dogs and $350 for puppies.
5. You may have a two week trial to make sure that the dog fits into your family. You may return the dog and we will refund your entire adoption donation.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

|Keeper of Forbidden Lore
All is quiet save the night sounds, wind blows things scurry under the underbrush, but you see little save what looks to be a sea of cacti. Some where in that sea, you hear the frantic cries of the goat
You see nothing in the clearing but the goat, he seems frantic, trying to pull away from the rope. Blood runes from several small wounds and is covered in quills. What more this patch of open group seems to be a 15' foot wide ledge of a ravine. and the frantic little goat dances back and forth almost mindless with fear, oh so close to the edge the rope rubbing back and forth across the trunk of the cacti
"Markhet is sure it is a trap but Markhet can't stand to see the goat suffer," the gnome says, "we must help it. Markhet thinks we should go now."
Handle animal: Markhet is going to make Larrs creep through the cactus patch. Because these are tasks Larrs knows how to do, and the DC is only 10 Markhet doesn't need to roll as she has a +7 to her check plus an additional +4 because Larrs is her animal companion.
Stealth for Larrs: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 +4 if this is considered undergrowth
Acrobatics for Larrs: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
Stealth for Markhet: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Stealth for Markhet: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Perception for Markhet: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Perception for Markhet: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
|Keeper of Forbidden Lore
It's more then 10, also is she riding Larrs?
Markhet is almost always ridding Larrs :)
Handle an Animal: This task involves commanding an animal to perform a task or trick that it knows. If the animal is wounded or has taken any nonlethal damage or ability score damage, the DC increases by 2. If your check succeeds, the animal performs the task or trick on its next action.
Now if Markhet were training Larrs to stalk wild pray, like she would need to if she were training a donkey to do the same thing, then the DC would be 15 I believe. Larrs knows how to stalk: he's got a +4 racial bonus to stealth! Thankfully Larrs has been trained as a mount otherwise Markhet would have a rough time talking him into accepting the saddle inside of this aura.
|Keeper of Forbidden Lore
It was late, I totally misread what the DC 10 was for. I posted that right before bed, and misread what you were doing is all. I thought ya was talking about the stealth check it's self being 10, not using handle animal to make him go all stealthy, as ya never stated ya was using HA. sorry bout the confusion
Markhet is almost invisible on the back of her cat. Larrs isn't quite as stealthy. The big cat stalks the goat with his ears flattened. Markhet is very much aware of her cat's intent but she is confidant that she can call her cat off before he hurts the goat.
All is quiet save the night sounds, wind blows things scurry under the underbrush, but you see little save what looks to be a sea of cacti. Some where in that sea, you hear the frantic cries of the goat

As Vrealk moves out of the cacti(15 ' though it} Larrs and his mistress start to move into the sea of pointy quills. The cat and gnome get 20 feet into the undergrowth when a small arrow bits into the cat2hp
Sorry I missed this but larr's HP are off, he should have 4.5 per HD making him have 9+2 or 11 hp
|Ayishidaj -bintel-Quivarashidj
Ayish stands amongst her group of friends, a look of concern growing upon her face. Looking into the dark and the jumbled mass of wicked looking spines that is The Cactus patch, she cannot help shivering under a feeling of trepidation.
As she fingers the whip about her waist and the thin rapier at her side; all she can think of is perhaps .just this once. to be a strapping male hefting a trusty great axe would perhaps not be a bad thing......
"Is there something we can do to cut this patch of unruly plant down to a more manageable size?" She ponders aloud, as her arm load of unlit torches shift within her grasp.
"none of us seem to be carrying the proper equipment to do so safely, sister. perhaps vrealk has found a safe path for us through this... forest. in either case, stay behind mamood, he will guard you from the cactus quills as best he can." Mamood moves to stand in front and a bit to the side of Ayish.
|Celena Ashram
"Is there something we can do to cut this patch of unruly plant down to a more manageable size?"
"What you mean like actually pulling out a sword and cutting?" Celena asks drawing her scimitar and pointing it at the cactus patch as if to emphasise the point.
Hearing Markhet's cry, Vrealk freezes where he is. He pulls out his crossbow, and desperately tries to see what might be firing on his friend.
Stealth, trying to remain hidden 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 321d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
Perception, looking for what is shooting 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
|Ayishidaj -bintel-Quivarashidj
"Larrs has been hit," Markhet cries, "something is shooting at us!"
Hearing the little Gnome's cry of distress galvanizes Ayish into action. She crouches and tries to drop her bundle of torches in as neat a pile as possible, then she stands and walks away from Mamood. Her path, however, is not towards the path of cacti but sideways, more in an effort to have as large a clear space about herself as she can. While moving her hands uncurl the whip form her waist.
"Friend Celena, again your words seem harsh. I would deary love nothing more than to hack and chop away at that mass to valiantly go to the aid of our companions, but my rapier has naught but a point, so it would be useless for such work." Her face takes on a look of determination,
"My whip, on the other hand, has teeth so we shall see how well it whittles this plant down to size."
"Markhet! and um..." Ayish actually has to think a moment to remember the Goblins name, "Vrealk! Try an get clear, my whip will be indiscriminate in it's path through the cacti!"
So saying she takes aim and twirls her weapon about her head, lashing it's length forth into an area well clear of where she thinks at least Larrs and Markhet might be.
Attack Roll:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Attack Roll:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Note: Of course Ayish is aiming at a reasonably large, stationary object. So actually hitting the cacti shouldn't be a problem. It's the area needed to swing the thing and the possibility for something weird to happen that concerns her.
Damage Roll:1d4 ⇒ 2
Damage Roll:1d4 ⇒ 2
While her weapon may not do a lot of damage, its five to ten foot reach means that Ayish is well out of range of the cactus's spines as the metal laced cords slice and saw through the plants leaves.
"I fear that this will only help lessen some of the cacti, the goat is still within the mess...some where..." She adds as she tugs upon her whip, to prepare it for a second strike.
How well defended/armored are cacti leaves again? (^.~) So, barring a natural one and getting snagged, we have a character with her own weed whacker. (^_^)
Going into Round Two:
Edit: Look out dear brother!
"new plan. I'll stay with ayish, mamood protect us." He casts shield on his companion.
Mamood accepts the defensive enhancement as he moves off into the darkness. His normally stern face takes on a fierce visage. Through the link shared with Xerxzayas, he relays what he sees with his darkvision. Mamood seeks a path through the cactus forest.
Xerx 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Don't know if you want Mamood to go on my init or not so...
Mamood 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
|Keeper of Forbidden Lore
Ok a few things on the cacti field. It is 25 feet thick, moving though it is 1/3rd speed and takes a acro check. You may barrel though but it'll hurt. Cutting though can be done, but not fast. Each 10 HP will clear a 5' section
2nd note, I'll use fixed Init and go off the first roll, which was 11 for everyone
Ayishida+14[weed wacking]
Larrs+14[moving thought the patch
Xerzayas+13 [casts spells]
Mamood=+12 [moving]
Markhet spurs Larrs on and the big cat moves slowly though the cacti but the hit makes hims less careful and he takes some hits from the quills 1hp. Meanwhile Vrealk hunches down and looks for the attackers but sees nothing. Ayish starts cutting though the cacti as Xerzayas casts a spell upon Mamood, who moves forward in search of a path. Celena and N'djamena drawl their weapons and move toward the cacti field. From the darkness two more arrows find Larrs 2hp
Guess we might as well call it new round then:) Larrs is 5 feet from the clearing
|Celena Ashram
|Ayishidaj -bintel-Quivarashidj
As Celena, N'Djamena and Mamood begin to work their way into the cacti patch Ayish frowns. The sounds coming from inside the field of thorns indicate haste yet Ayish knows her silk draped skin would be very vulnerable to the cacti spines.
Setting her jaw determinedly, she simple shifts further 'left' away from where her companions are beginning their travel of the cacti and keeps whacking away.
Attack Roll:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Attack Roll:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Damage Roll:1d4 ⇒ 2
Damage Roll:1d4 ⇒ 3
At 10 Hp per 'patch' it's going to take Ayish quite a while to actually do anything. Ah well....'Whack, whack, whack, whack....
"Kill Larrs," Markhet roars, "get it and kill it!"
Markhet uses her fey blood to call forth dancing lights to illuminate the area the tiny arrows are coming from. Larrs continues through the cactus patch and into the clearing, barreling through the last 5 feet of cactus at a full move, attempting to attack the tiny archers that have been harassing him. Larrs has a 40ft move
Chomp! 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Teeth! 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
|Keeper of Forbidden Lore
I'll need a perception check to spot em, . I will also be posting a map a bit later this evening
Shouldn't we be able to spot him if he's firing at us? We know the general direction and Larrs has the sent ability so if he is within 5ft of something he can smell it! Oh also, Larrs has a better dex so he has a better initiative but seeing as he's a mount he will wait for Markhet's commands so he will go just after Markhet.
Markhet's 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Larrs: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
|Keeper of Forbidden Lore
|Guy Humual
1, sniping rules are fun, and 2 who says he is within 5 feet :)
Fair enough, I only sound a bit frantic because Larrs has lost a total of 12 hit points this round, 4 from sniping, 1 from running through a cactus patch, and 7 from a rules correction. Larrs has 6 hit points remaining.
|Keeper of Forbidden Lore
Ayishida+14[weed wacking]
Xerzayas+13 [waiting]
Mamood=+12 [moving]
Celena+11 [moving]
N'djamena+11 [moving]
Ok folks going for Vreal and moving along here
Vrealk stays crouched and scans for targets but sees none, outside the field Ayish slashes away at the cacti, making little progress. Markhet , riding on Larr's back sees a small twisted jackle headed hominid with a bow. Larrs crashes though the last of the quills 1hp. The Pugwamp screams as the Lion bits it near in half
Mamood careful picks his way though the cacti as Celena , lowers her shield and plows though 4hp. N'Djamena starts though the cacti, but has a round of badluck, as he keeps catching on the plants, starps seems to just not be staying in place and everything seems to snag 1hp
Te goat, if it was panicked before goes almost mad when a lion burst out near it. The poor thing seems to be tangling it's self up on the cacti to get away from Larrs
Still something moves though the cacti still as another arrow finds larrs2hp
Ok folks new round
|Joran of the Black Mists
|Keeper of Forbidden Lore
Sorry; didn't make it clear - looking for the target was my action. I didn't realize you were waiting on me for anything; makes no sense to do anything else unless I can see what's shooting.
Vrealk remains hidden, continuing to look for whatever is shooting at us. However, he moves at half speed to get closer to the clearing the goat is in and hopefully help Markhet.
Stealth 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 301d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

|Ayishidaj -bintel-Quivarashidj
"Ayish, we could just walk carefully through the cactus patch. They are leaving us behind."
Ayish coughs and, unconsciously holding a hand over her tattered filmy silk dress, addresses her brother, I hope...(^.~)
"While I do so want to help, me walking even carefully into that mess of spines and quills will soon have me dressed in even less than rags." Ayish actually blushes in embarrassment at the unbecoming thought of such an image.
"Nay, as small as my efforts be, I think they are the best I can do." She finishes sadly as she continues to strike and lash out at the hardy cactus foe.
Attack Roll:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Attack Roll:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Damage Roll:1d4 ⇒ 1
Damage Roll:1d4 ⇒ 2
"Whack, whack, whack, whack..."
Markhet uses her druidic magic to heal Larrs:
Not sure if I use two roles here or not
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
As a free action Markhet sends her dancing lights spell in the direction of the sniper. Then she hops off of her lion (allowing Larrs to continue to maul the little monster) and Markhet approaches the goat.
Markhet will attempt to calm the goat next round
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 1d4 ⇒ 1
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 1d4 ⇒ 3
Bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
"ok." Xerxzayas begins to help his sister hack at the cacti.
Does it matter that I'm using a piercing weapon? Also, I'm more worried about clearing a way for my sister than myself.
attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Vrealk spots the pugwampy but his crossbow catches on a cacti and he misses his shot, he then moves toward the cleaing but in a case of bad luck stumbles into a cacti 1hp Ayish keeps at her cacti cutting as Market gets down from larrs and heals some of his wounds then sees to the goat, Larrs keeps mauling the now, very dead pugwampi. Xerxzaya joins his sisters effort on the cacti and they began to gain some headway
Mamood keeps moving though the cacti but his pants tend to get hung and the quills stab at him1hp but, he is now in the clearing. Celena keeps he shield up and barrels though the cacti, she now looks something akin to a cacti 3hp but is now in the clearing as well. N'Djamena keeps trudging forward stubbling and tripping like a drunkard after six taverns 1hp He then calls upon Nethys and a blue/green burst pours from him, it is gone in an instant and leaves sparkles of magic in it's wake. Vrealk and Mamood feel a tingle but, Celena's wounds close, quills fall from her skin and busies heal.
Some where near by something giggles as Vrealk's crossbow tingles, then vibrates then suddenly fly's about in his hands with a ringing sound.
Went for celena, and mamood, made Vrealks save, poor crossbow. New round
|Celena Ashram
I apologize for not posting for Mamood. His action hadn't changed so I just didn't think to put anything down for him.
Once clear of the cacti, Mamood begins to look for the unseen foe.
Perception 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Perception 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Xerxzayas continues to help his sister.
Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Markhet allows Larrs to continue mauling the pugwampi as she turns to the goat to try to sooth it.

Whichever works.

Vrealk is momentarily taken about by the lose of his crossbow and drawl his dagger. Unable to see his attacker, he hides himself behind the cacti, trying to spot his foe. Ayish and her brother, keep up the assault on the cacti patch as Markhet clams to goat. Larrs keeps mangling the body of the pugwampi, an arm fly's into the ravine. Mamood and Celena look around with little effect, seeing nothing. As N'Djamena stumbles like a drunken ogre though the cacti1 hp
New round, HP are up to date now
OK, I apologize again for not realizing I was being waited on. I admit to being a tad confused about what's happening here; what exactly happened to my crossbow? The post above said it 'flew about' in my hands and that I made my save; that didn't read as 'lost my crossbow' to me ...

I suspect the crossbow was shattered, and by "made your save" I think he meant he rolled your (unsuccessful) save for you.

Wow ... see I wouldn't have gotten that it was shattered or broken at all. That certainly ... sucks. Not something a 1st-level rogue slave could replace easily at this point.

Income payment amounts are based on the performance of the underlying diversified1 portfolio. You can choose from two types of Fidelity-managed investment portfolios.
Investment Options for Fidelity Freedom Lifetime Income®
Fidelity Freedom Lifetime Income® (FFLI) is an immediate variable income annuity that converts a portion of your savings into lifetime income.
You have access to automatic diversification1 and professional money management from the experts at Fidelity. Choose one of these Variable Insurance Product (VIP) single-fund solutions:
Choose by risk tolerance.2
These portfolios are designed for investors looking for a professionally managed, diversified investment solution that normally invests according to a specific target asset allocation.
Choose by your year of birth.3
Choose a portfolio based on your birth year. Each portfolio's asset allocation strategy becomes increasingly conservative over time as it approaches its ultimate target asset allocation (except for Fidelity VIP Investor Freedom IncomeSM).
With all funds available in FFLI, principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the funds' ultimate target asset allocation.
Choose a portfolio for your FFLI annuity that fits your tolerance for risk—we choose the investments.
One of our risk-based portfolios may be a good choice for you if:
- You want to align your FFLI investment with a target asset allocation.
- You want exposure to multiple asset classes in a single investment.
|Your risk-based portfolio choices
VIP FundsManager® Portfolios2 include five different portfolios with target equity allocations ranging from 20% to 85%.
|How they are managed
Normally invest according to a specific target asset allocation
Diversified across the major asset classes (stocks, bonds, and cash)
Actively managed
|What they invest in
VIP FundsManager® Portfolios utilize a "fund-of-funds" approach, investing across a mix of Fidelity domestic equity, international equity, sector equity, and fixed income funds.
A retirement income investment solution made simple
One of our age-based portfolios may be a good choice for your FFLI assets if:
- You'd like your FFLI investment allocation to automatically "roll down", or gradually become more conservative over time.
- You want exposure to multiple asset classes in a single investment.2
|About your age-based choices
Choose the portfolio that best corresponds to your year of birth:
|What they invest in
Each portfolio is a diversified mix of Fidelity VIP domestic equity and international equity funds, bonds, and short-term funds.
Each portfolio's asset allocation becomes increasingly conservative until it reaches an ultimate target allocation. As with all funds available in FFLI, principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the funds' ultimate target asset allocation.
|How they are managed
Fidelity handles the asset allocation and investment decisions and manages the roll-down over the time period chosen using a proprietary approach.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Sure, offensive line is a boring position. You never want to be the offensive lineman when playing flag football, unless you're allowed to option yourself as a receiver when the "protection" breaks down. However in the NFL, offensive line work is a serious business, as your job as a center, guard, or tackle, is to protect the franchise quarterback at all costs.
Two-time Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins, 28, has been pretty damn good at his position during his career. He came into the league as a first round pick in 2005, and has started every game since for the Pats, protecting Tom Brady (and Matt Cassel) and making room for the running game.
The Patriots tendered a $3.268 million contract to Mankins, which the guard had until Monday to accept. Instead, he opted to ignore the offer, allowing the Pats to reduce his 2010 salary to 110% of his 2009 pay grade, which roughly translates to $1.54 million. On Monday, Mankins expressed his desire to leave the organization.
"At this point, I'm pretty frustrated, from everything that's happened and the way negotiations have gone,'' he told ESPN Boston. "I want to be traded. I don't need to be here anymore.''
The tender offered to Mankins protected the Pats in case he received an offer sheet from another team. If he signed somewhere else, the Pats would have received first and third round picks as compensation. No team offered Mankins a contract, and now he sits in no man's land.
If you only have listened to Logan Mankins during these ongoing contract talks, he'd have you believe that the Pats are a bunch of liars and don't care whether or not the guard stays or goes.
"After the 2008 season, me and my agent approached the Patriots about an extension and I was told that Mr. Kraft did not want to do an extension because of the [NFL labor situation],'' Mankins said. "I was asked to play '09 out, and that they would address the contract during the uncapped year. I'm a team player, I took them at their word, and I felt I played out an undervalued contract.
"Right now, this is about principle with me and keeping your word and how you treat people. This is what I thought the foundation of the Patriots was built on. Apparently, I was wrong. Growing up, I was taught a man's word is his bond. Obviously this isn't the case with the Patriots.''
Mankins obviously is frustrated with the team, and wants his family to be taken care of long term given the unstable NFL market.
OK, this section is a joke, of course. Belichick never publicly discusses contract negotiations. In fact, he didn't even say anything when asked why Mankins wasn't at mandatory mini-camp.
"Right now we're just focused on coaching the players that are here. We'll go out and get things done, hopefully have a good practice today. A situation between anybody and club, a contract situation, that's between player and club."
Did you expect a Belichick response anyway?
Mankins would have you believe the Patriots have not offered him any long term deal. That's not true, an NFL source confirmed to the Boston Globe.
A five-year deal worth approximately $7 million per year has been on the table "for a significant amount of time." There was no word on the exact details of the offer, or how much money Mankins would receive within the first three years.
Saints guard Jhari Evans set the bar at a high level, when the restricted free agent signed a seven-year, $56.7 million pact worth a reported $25.7 million over the first three years, according to the Globe.
One would imagine that Mankins may be seeking a seven-year offer, which would likely increase the amount he'd receive within the first three years of the deal.
The Patriots could explore trading Mankins, but there's no official word that they're even entertaining offers. According to the Globe's Shalise Manza Yong, Kansas City, Dallas, Green Bay, and St. Louis are "among teams in need of offensive line help."
To become an unrestricted free agent next season (and free to sign with any other team), Mankins would need to play a sixth season with the team. He technically could hold out until Week 10, and play the remainder of the year and he would be eligible for free agency in the following year.
From the looks of it, it would appear Mankins has already played his last game in a Pats uniform.

of responses that came in from different points around the globe, it really started giving us all an idea that people care and have the intellectual capacity to add quality in a solution to something of public interest."
In fact, the challenge yielded 125 proposed solutions, with participation from every populated continent. Everyone involved in the chamber's challenge was stunned - not only by the number of solutions offered, but also by their worth.
"The quality of the submissions was impressive. We didn't know what to expect, but there were some really thoughtful people," Pressl said. "[InnoCentive has] 180,000 solvers from around the world in its community. It would be very hard to cut through the clutter to get people to look at it if we were going to do [a challenge] individually. They bring 180,000 solvers to the table immediately. They have solvers who make a living just solving challenges. I was impressed with the fact that more than 50 percent of the solvers in their community are outside the United States."
Winning Solutions
Though there was global participation in the challenge, the winner and runner-up were Chicago-area residents. The winning entry came from Aaron Renn, a local writer who covers urban affairs. Renn's submission, which can be viewed at InnovateNow, is an exhaustively researched, 18-page work that details precisely how the Chicago Transit Authority can reach that billion riders mark. It's exactly what Pressl hoped would come out of the crowdsourcing experiment.
"We were impressed with his depth of knowledge of the system and his recommendations," Pressl said. "His writing was clear, precise and concise. He had a complete picture of what needed to happen to make the public transportation system more desirable to riders."
For a government agency, a crowdsourcing challenge could be an appealing approach to problem solving. But for these challenges to work, there must be a reward. Sure, some people may submit ideas because they take pleasure in it. But to reach the talent pool that's all of humanity, something beyond intellectual curiosity is needed. Unfortunately an agency procuring reward money from its budget for such a contest is likely a tall order - especially when the reward would go toward something called crowdsourcing.
But crowdsourcing is nearing credibility, if it hasn't reached it already, as a way to generate legitimate information. For example, Wikipedia has been a wildly successful experiment. It's not perfect, nor will it ever be. But Wikipedia has perhaps become something more important - reliable.
The way Pressl looks at it, a government agency funding a similar endeavor might not be an impossibility after all.
"I think once people begin to see the value of crowdsourcing - nothing against consultants - but you might spend $50,000 on consultants," Pressl said. "This might be an alternative, more cost-effective way to get some different ideas. The diversity of ideas by unique experiences is the real value here. For us, it was intoxicatingly addictive. The idea of being able to tap into 180,000 people is kind of cool."
The choice was spending $50,000 for a consulting firm to generate solutions or a quarter of that to ask the world. For the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, the answer was in the crowds.

Hey my friend, could you help me out with the acrylic part?
I wish to increase the size to 20x20y30z and another 30x30y40z but I am not too good at designing, so I am having a hard time figuring out how should I increase the acrylic sizes so the holes match?
Also could you help me adding the motor position on the acrylic for a 3rd extruder? I might want to add a diamond hot end to this beauty if I am able to build it because in the BOM I don't understand how many nuts and bolt do I need.
Thank you for a great design.
wow i like the design and the reprap aspect.But it wasnt easy to find.
why isn´t everyone usingordinary t slot profiles. Sourcing them from Motedis is way cheaper then getting any of those fancy v slot profiles with these extra expensive wheels. And this printer proves it.
I will definetily build this one as my second printer :) sourced and build from scratch.
Does this work? As I may want to build it!
Could you, please, explain why do you have XY motors mounted on the X axis, instead of mounting them on the frame itself? This way it would not add extra weight (no extra inertia).
because I wanted to :P
it's moslty to simplify the design, integrating everything in a single part, hiding the belt in the slot, and used as a rack the belt is also shorter
and with small nema 14 the weight is not that important
Great design! How do I scale it up?
If you take longer aluminium profiles/belts/etc. you can use the same printed parts but makes a bigger version :)
very cute! how is the progress on this?
Hi, great design! I love the use of the belts in the extrusion channels. I've learned a lot by looking through your github. I'm building an H bot using spectra cord instead of belts and wanted to ask two questions. 1) When you did your research, did you find any significant advantage to the H belt configuration when compared to something like the approach used by CoreXY? 2) On your latest sketchup model, you show three extruders spread across your X axis. Is that just testing ideas or have you come up with something that's going to blow our minds?
Big thanks for posting your work. Much appreciated by the community. Good luck on the next steps, looking forward to seeing the final product.
1) CoreXY is also an H-bot, but it cross the belt in an awkward way, I prefer this simpler way
2) It's just a design tip, to see/have in mind the mini/maxi positions of the X-carriage, but I plan to have at least two hotends with this previous idea http://reprap.org/wiki/RepRapPro_Dual_Hotendreprap.org/wiki/RepRapPro_Dual... (not tested yet)
Thanks :)
I'm hoping to put up more info on the CoreXY site soon but the main difference between CoreXY and a standard h-bot is that CoreXY is self-stabilizing and the h-bot is not. In an application like FoldaRap where there is a support structure, the awkward routing of the cables is probably not worth it. But in other cases (like this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6640)http://www.thingiverse.com/thi..., this feature is an advantage.
Hey nice if you can complete the CoreXY site :)
I needed to build it in order to understand it, and I see now why this self-stabilization is helpful !
After a few revision and by using linear bearing pads, it is now moving perfectly in XY ^^ http://youtu.be/fmRBO8UZGwMhttp://youtu.be/fmRBO8UZGwM
does the firmware require any special changes to use h-bot movement?
yes, you only need to uncomment a line about CoreXY feature in config.h, and the inversion of the X and Y motors (in my case it's false false) https://github.com/EmmanuelG/FoldaRap2/blob/master/firmware/Marlin_AzteegX1_FoldaRap2/Configuration.hhttps://github.com/EmmanuelG/F...
i would like to see your firmware but the link goes to a page that is not viewable.
Yeah I changed the name to "Mondrian" to avoid confusion with the FoldaRap (since it's evolving in v2)
thanks i was wondering are you enabling corexy i did not see it in the latest firmware i checked? i have an h bot and i am chasing an almond shape circle issue. i have found a fix but want to know what others did to fix the issue. thanks
I do not consider myself stupid but any means.. but i have no clue how 2 motors on belt allows for x to move on its own like is shown in the videos on your flickr stream. Any links or something i could go read to get my head around it.. a quick google search of H bot or H gantry get me no where fast.
Ahh nice link. Thanks.. Also what size extrusions are you using? 15x15? and what are the nema14 specs. love the little bot idea.. the zip ties for belts works EPICLY well. I am using them on my Prusa Air i2
ahh i get it.. amazing how that works.. what extrusions are you using? 15x15? and what are the nema 14 specs.. i am just curious cuz I love the concept of a mini bot
I'm using 20x20mm extrusion from KJN or Motedis. For the nema14 they
are the same as on the Huxley (e.g :
I love the "nophead zip-tie belt trick" too ^^
Excellent work. I have a long list of customers in the medical and silicon fab industry that are searching for 3D Printers they can operate in clean rooms (Positive pressure). They all worry about exposed belts. While these belts look clean, we all have units with small patches of belt dust at one end or another of the axis's. A unit like this seems to be an excellent way of reducing random particles. Can't wait to see the final unit!
Then I think you will like the new corner ;) http://www.flickr.com/photos/watsdesign/8413217365/in/photostreamhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/w...
Interesting ! I didn't knew about that. I wanted to keep them accessible but one could fully enclose the corners for this kind of application.
Thanks :)
Great work guys now like to see it in working.
Hmm printing, not yet, but making the XY moving was easier than I thought ^^ http://www.flickr.com/photos/watsdesign/8301340461/in/set-72157624579053277/http://www.flickr.com/photos/w...
Looks great! I like how the belts are hidden in the extrusions. I've been wanting to get away from the moving y-platform, and this looks like a perfect way to do it.
Thanks! Passing the belt in the extrusions was one of the little things I wanted to try, just to see if the intuition was good :)

Residences Available for sale in Auckland – Income Growing
The NZ Herald of September 14th 2011 released in report on webpage 4 headed "House charges and gross sales on rise". The report emphasised the benefit and quantity of properties bought around the thirty day period of August both of those confirmed raises. As has actually been the pattern over the past 2 many years, any improves outside the house Auckland were being of the extremely modest nature, largely during the one – 2% location (calculated about the prior year). http://www.casafederico-lapalma.com/casas-a-venda-em-petrolina/
Houses on the market in Auckland, having said that showed substantially higher will increase using the True Estate Institute (REINZ) figures quoted demonstrating median benefit will increase of just small of 3% inside the eight thirty day period time period because January. Projecting ahead, this will likely bring on an predicted rise in median values of around 5% for several years conclude 2011.
When reporting on houses available for purchase in Auckland, REINZ figures lump residences (houses) and appointment/town properties within the exact same class. The biggest team of gross sales are during the CBD apartment market place which has been deflated for many several years. Couple this with a few parts of the North Shore and Jap Suburbs in which plaster city properties predominate (for this examine "leaky homes"), it truly is an affordable summary to believe that free of charge standing properties in very good destinations are on the right track to rise somewhere inside the order of 10% in 2011.
Within the figures on our possess income board, I can say that this extrapolation to 10% predicted development is about right. There is an actual scarcity of homes on the market in Auckland when measured from the need. Our business is observing that to get a good house in "Greater Ponsonby" we are able to anticipate in excessive of 100 inspections about a 3 week Auction campaign and 4 or five bidders in all fairness normal. Earlier final month (August) we noticed two homes bring in in extra of two hundred inspections above three weekends as well as the amount of registered bidders exceeded 15 in both of those cases.
When i compare the quantity of properties marketed for sale in Auckland, especially during the key medium on the Saturday Herald Houses complement, it is actually clear that there's a drop in offered households of approximately 40% above the volumes on give two or 3 many years ago, the main variation remaining there are now somewhere around double the number of prospective buyers acquiring sufficient confidence within their private instances to dedicate to purchase.

Amber and Robby were married in a traditional church ceremony at St. Mary Star of the Sea followed by a reception at The Sunset Room in Ocean City, Md. on June 28. "We watched the sunset one night from the deck, and it was incredible," Amber said. "We knew right then and there that it was the one." The bride wore a strapless satin a-line wedding gown, accessorized with her hair half-up/half-down in loose curls and a pair of jelly flats, while the groom wore a tan three-piece suit, accessorized with a striped tie. Bridesmaids wore short mint chiffon dresses and carried bouquets of (surprise) tulips, baby's breath, and ferns. "When I walked down the aisle and saw my emotional groom and all of our guests so genuinely happy to be there, it was the most calm I had felt all day," she said. Following the exchanging of vows and rings, it was official! The now husband and wife duo took off to the sandy beach to take some portraits, one in particular on the lifeguard stand. How fun! Guests were assigned seats according to streets — ranging from 1st to 142nd street along Coastal Highway. Tables were decorated with mason jar centerpieces, seashells, and starfishes. "When our DJ announced the last song, everyone came out on the dance floor and made a big circle to dance together," Amber said. "When the song was over, our guests bombarded us with hugs. It felt as if they were just as happy as we were in that moment. It was unforgettable and could not have been planned if we tried." The newlyweds' best advice? "The point of your wedding day is to marry the person you love," she said. "The journey getting there is half the fun and should be enjoyable for anyone involved. If you become stressed, which you will, just take a step back and realize what it's all about."

Have Fun With Your Children, 1945
"Ten o'clock each morning serves the housewife and the homemaker Monday through Saturday." So proclaims WNYC announcer Tommy Cowan at the beginning of the first presentation of "Have Fun with Your Children" (sometimes called "City Fun with Children"), a public affairs program produced specifically for mothers by author Becky Reyher. For three years, Ms. Reyher welcomed experts on local cultural events and educational programs into the studio to discuss ways to entertain children in the city. In honor of Mother's Day, we're taking a closer look at this show and its dynamic hostess.
Rebecca Hourwich Reyher was born in New York City in 1897. Three years later, her family moved to Washington, D.C., where, in 1913, she attended the first suffrage parade in the United States. Her experience there inspired a life dedicated to women's issues around the world.
In New York City, she helped organize the National Women's Party, an organization that focused its efforts on passing a constitutional amendment ensuring a woman's right to vote, and later married writer Ferdinand Reyher, with whom she had one daughter, Faith, in 1919. Reyher continued to travel frequently for her work with the National Women's Party while shouldering most of the responsibility for raising Faith alone. The Reyhers' unconventional marriage ended in divorce in 1934.
Reyher's involvement with women's issues sent her to African countries several times, visits she used to write many articles and books. One book, Zulu Woman (1945), which told the story of Christina Sibiya, the first of the Zulu king Solomon kaDinuzulu's 65 wives, was written after a trip Reyher took to Zululand with her daughter.
In the midst of these trips and other work with the National Women's Party, Reyher wrote two children's books, Babies and Puppies are Fun (1944) and My Mother is the Most Beautiful Woman in the World (1945). Despite her extensive involvement with the women's suffrage movement and advocacy for women in African countries, these two children's books are Reyher's only accomplishments mentioned in the introduction of the ten-minute program she hosted for WNYC.
Most Tuesday mornings from 1945 to 1948 featured Reyher's informational segment for mothers in which she quizzed local experts on activities and educational opportunities for the city's children and families. Many of her shows explore exhibitions and classes at museums around town, and some delve deeply in to the city's scenic parks and transportation routes.
Reyher and Bishop go on to suggest some specific local sites popular among children: the Staten Island Ferry and Staten Island Snake Park, the scenic 5th Avenue bus lines, the taxiing planes at La Guardia Field, the world money collection at Chase Bank, and the bustling city markets, among others. And don't forget, Mrs. Bishop reminds us, the children have actively participated in war drives, so "maybe they would think it's fun to do something as a family-unit connected with the war." Try collections of war relics and other war memorials.
And remember, parents, "it's up to you and the children whether this summer will be the one you will all remember as the happiest, fullest, and most interesting you ever had!"
Thanks to the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America for their exhaustive biography on Rebecca Hourwich Reyher.

The company's human capital management model is based on respecting and complying with universally recognised international standards, relating generally to human rights and specifically to labour.
This characteristic is also reflected in the approach to work/life balance, which was designed and implemented by the company on the basis of diversity in its workforce and activity. Measures in this area include flexible time, concentrating work hours in a single block, holidays, flexible compensation, and comprehensive support for employees who work abroad.
Gamesa offers professional development opportunities through training and professional experience. These are fundamental axes of the talent management cycle that we manage from the Corporate University, launched in 2010. With this initiative the company contributes to the employability of its employees, and those of the rest of the supply chain, as well as promoting commitment and alignment with corporate strategy and culture.
Gamesa 's human capital management approach integrates equality, cultural diversity, non-discrimination, and equal opportunities.
In 2014 Gamesa and trade unions representatives signed an Equality Plan. This initiative is intended as a general framework for action at all of the workplaces worldwide in which Gamesa has a presence, subject to local legislation.
The Equality Plan is geared towards strengthening Gamesa's culture of diversity and equality, encouraging non-discriminatory hiring and fostering equality of opportunity between women and men in career development and promotion and facilitating work-life balance. Almost twenty-five percent of Gamesa's global workforce is now made up of women, which sets a good example for the energy industry.
Gamesa is firmly committed to dialogue and collective bargaining with its employees based on respect for their freedom of association, and it promotes the existence of union representation at its plants throughout the world.
It is standard practice to build positive relationships with the trade unions in the United States and Spain. In 2010, Gamesa signed its second collective agreement in the US and reached other important agreements with workers.
In China, the National Union encourages workers to establish their own unions; Gamesa management in China supports all initiatives in this direction and coordinates with the National Union in this regard.
Unionisation is a basic right of workers under Indian law. Gamesa in India firmly supports any measures oriented to the creation of a positive labour environment where there are no barriers between management and workers, encouraging all negotiation processes.

You could do a lot with 24 hours. Eat at 24 different restaurants, watch 12 Meg Ryan movies, sleep for 24 hours
OK, so my ideas aren't so great. But the Dallas Video Association thought of a good one: the 24-Hour Video Race. Yes, it's back again this year, and it's bigger and video-er than ever. At midnight Friday, a wide variety of videographers, including schoolchildren all the way up to seasoned pros, were each assigned the details for their film. They were then given until midnight on Saturday to create a five-minute digital video. And now you, the general public, have the privileged opportunity to watch these films, which are being screened at the Angelika Film Center, 5321 E. Mockingbird Lane. Showtimes are from 6 to 10 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and they're each just $5 at the door. For more info, visit 24hourvideoracedallas.com.

Capturing a unique moment in American history, Nostalgia for an American West, is a thought-provoking exhibition that focuses on romantic vistas and cowboy heroes, images of the American Indian as seen through white eyes, and selections of Native American art and handicrafts that reflect the emerging cultural dialog between Indians and white settlers.
Selected works of art from the private collection of Leland and LaRita Boren, make up one part of the tripartite exhibition. The Borens are collectors of cowboy art, most made after World War II, Director Peter Blume said.
"We can see in many of these works of art a nostalgia for an earlier and idealized history of the American West," Blume said.
Other features include works from the museum's collection, including paintings by Frank Tenney Johnson and bronze sculptures by Paul Manship and Cyrus Edwin Dallin. A third aspect of the exhibition includes crafts of Native American artists selected to give a sense of the dialog Native Americans were having with the white settlers. "These items were designed for trade or made with materials furnished by European settlers, often incorporating motifs like American flags," Blume said.
Exhibition Date: May 11, 2007 - August 18, 2007

I am not sure if anyone can help me but I would really appreciate it.
I have a page that pulls information from the Globe Investor's api. It is xml so I pull it in, parse it, and spit it back out with php.
A snippet of my code looks something like this (not including the xml parser).
<?php $last = $result['s:service']['s:content']['stock'][1]['quote']['last'];
$lastint = round($last, 3)+0;

Last Price <?php echo($lastint); ?>

The round part ads a zero before the decimal point so that it spits out: Last Price 0.29
rather than just .29
HOWEVER , here is my problem. I need there to be one more integer to the right of the decimal, even if it is zero.
Any ideas?
there is a handy function to do just that! Its called number_format();
echo number_format($lastint, 3);
the 2nd parameter defines how many digits you want after the decimal point. There are two other optional arguments to define thousands and decimal separator character, so you could format the number like we do in my country 1 000,00 or like its done in the US 1 ,000.00
here is php manual page if you need further details: http://cz2.php.net/manual/en/function.number-format.php
Hope it heps, uDesignStudios
ohhhhh my gosh you are my favorite person in the entire world right now Thank you that was very helpful and everything is working how I want now
I'm glad I could help

Hi everyone! I'm new to the saab world, just got my first, an Aero in steel gray a few weeks ago, and I love it, no problems at all and a blast to drive! Just a little more responsive than the Silverado pickup I moved out of :) I've been checking this site out for a few weeks now and really enjoy it, you guys seem to really know your stuff. I've read the info about the air cleaners, so I know what to do there, but I was curious about any exhaust systems for the Aero that would hopefully add a few ponies and a better sound. What have you guys done?

at least it looks like more fun to play around with it ;)
miken927 wrote:'90s version of a tablet:
I had one of these. I really liked it, but it seemed like Viewsonic wasn't willing to support it. When it was new, it had decent performance compared to other tablets. Unfortunately, the last update that they made for it seemed to make the device more unstable, and caused several of my apps to crash out.
For the price, just go buy a Nexus 7.
Thanks, Tennessee, for keeping this Woot-Off moving.
I have two of these, which have become my kids toys. Once I loaded SmootherBean ROM (XDA forum), they are actually kind of nice. Also, watch out for the power plug connection going, I had to send both mine off for MOBO replacement while still under warranty. I was surprised at the price this fetched.

Below the screen sit four buttons and a roller ball. This is one area where Android phones still lag behind the iPhone as the latter has managed to get all the same functionality out of a single button and touchscreen. However, we're glad to see that the separate back and home buttons of the HTC Hero have been integrated into one and the search button has been dropped completely. That said, the Menu and Home/Back buttons are somewhat wobbly, which is disappointing. We do quite like the roller ball, though, as it comes in very useful when editing text, but they can get gunked up and wear out over time.
We were particularly pleased to find a microSD slot on the left edge of the Pulse. Supporting cards up to 16GB, this gives you the option to turn the handset into a fully-fledged portable media player but without the upfront cost of buying a phone with lots of inbuilt memory (a 2GB card comes in the box). The ease with which you can get files to and from the phone is of course a big boon as well. We also like how Android defaults to using the memory card for photos and videos taken with the camera.
Also on the left edge is the power/lock button where we found it a little difficult to reach when operating the phone one-handed. On the right are volume controls and the camera button. It's up top, though, that things really start getting interesting.
Under a flap sit the Micro-USB data and charging socket and headset socket. Now, for a start, we're in two minds over the flap as we can appreciate it keeps grime out but it doesn't half get in the way if you regularly use your phone to listen to music. The other issue is that the headset socket is a 3-contact 2.5mm one that requires the use of an included adapter to plug in a conventional set of 3.5mm headphones. Thankfully the adapter is a simple 3in long inline cable that you could easily just keep hanging from the end of your headphones for storage. Sound quality from it is also superb. It is missing a microphone, though, so can't be used as a proper headset adapter (we currently have no word on whether a full headset will be included with the phone).
Being a lower cost smartphone, we were initially happy to see that the Pulse had a 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus. However, it quickly became evident that it wasn't up to much. Not helped by the lack of flash, indoor shots or poorly lit ones were very difficult to capture without blur. Well lit shots were passable but the focussing never really seemed to get it quite right. There's also noticeable vignetting in all the shots. Particularly due to this last point, we did wonder whether our sample wasn't working correctly. Feedback from any users would be welcome. On a more positive note, video quality was quite acceptable for candid clips. The framerate is good enough to capture motion and there's enough resolution to pick out details. There is also a forward-facing camera for video-calling.
So its not a camera or an MP3 player? Big deal! Now if T-Mobile's website worked so I could buy the damn thing...
Is the screen really resistive? I was under the impression it was capacitive?
A call on the phone to T-Mobile's sales line has proved equally fruitless so far.
Ive just been told that the pulse is only on sale in store. They will not be selling it online for the foreseable future??
It's on the web site, I suppose there are stock issues or something at the moment.
The only reason I can think for overlooking this would be the lack of a compass. Android's a great platform for AR apps right now.
At this price point, if you're after an Android device, it's perfect. The feature set beats that of similarly priced competitors (it's usually GPS OR 3G at this price point) which makes it ultimately attractive.
The lack of compass shouldn't deter anyone, in my opinion. We all know to expect a half-baked sat-nav system when it's situated in a device to be used primarily as a phone. (Not to mention the data charges on PAYG!) That's what you have a separate sat-nav unit for anyway!
The only thing stopping me from going out to buy one now is the fact that's it's only on T-Mobile: they're not exactly praised for their marvellous coverage where I live! Unlike Vodafone on the other hand, who are fantastic (because of their excellent freedom packs as well as the coverage!). I think if Vodafone brought out something similar with an inclusive data package to cover the inevitable 3G addiction caused by such a device, they'd be onto a winner. Until then, I'll save for the Blackberry Storm, thanks!
Like I say, the main reason to have a compass on a phone isn't sat-nav, it's augmented reality. Android's the go-to platform for AR right now and this is the first Android handset that won't support it.
I think this is amaing for the price. It really doesn't skimp on any important features. My Hero has a compass and aside from trying it out for 10 mins when I got the phone I haven't touched it. Not really interested in AR. Downloaded Layar off the market but haven't looked at it yet. Be interesting to see how it compares to the HTC Tattoo.
T-Mobile Pulse availability on PAYG, Anna at online help answers me as follows:
GarethTS: There was a Buy Now link briefly on your site for the T-Mobile Pulse on PAYG that did not work.
Anna: It is temporarily discontinued on PAYG, and we do not know when and if it is going to be released on PAYG.
GarethTS: Oh that is interesting news!!
Engadget's just put up their review, and they say the handset's capacitive and has a compass. You might want to check into those two things. Also their camera's no better than yours, which is a shame, but I'm totally getting one if Engadget's right about the screen and compass.
I agree with Sockatume. TR really needs to address the compass and capacitive thing in more detail. Paul from Engadget has stood by his statements in his comments on his article citing the TR review. @Edward, please can you clear up this confusion as it does make a difference. Paul said that the Compass app worked as advertised... what were your findings?
I've doubled checked with T-Mobile and can confirm this has a resistive screen.
It's also now available on PAYG.
I own an i phone and now this phone which was just in stock at the time in the bullring , b'ham. and I can confirm it does have a capacitive screen because it does not respond to the DS styles and i fact it also does have a compass because i tried out a a compass app and AR works just fine. Sound quantity is excellent even though u have to use the adapter beats my iphone how ever, just remember android is not as polished as the iPhone.
O and if anyone is going to by this phone remember to get and install the HTC keyboard :)
You thank me later.. :P
I was quite keen on getting one of these but now I am not so sure because I can't help wondering if the phones sent out for review are representative of the machines on sale in the shops. When reviewers cannot agree on the specification it makes you wonder if the pre-production models sent out are fully representative. Has T-mobile asked the manufacturer to drop the capacitive screen to save money after some devices were sent out for review? After all,the firm cannot make up its mind whether they are PAYG or not. And there is such a big question mark hanging over the quality of the camera you can't help wondering if it will even still be working in a few months' time or if this indicates that the manfacturer has extremely poor quality control and the handsets could vary wildly from one set of serial numbers to the next.
There's no question about the spec: the author of the Engadget review bought a retail Pulse out of his own pocket to confirm, and it's got a compass and a capacitive screen and so on. Trusted Reviews are simply not correct, regardless of what their T-Mo rep told them, and a few seconds prodding with a cocktail stick would easily have confirmed or denied it. Anyone other than Ed at TR want to check and weigh in?
I got mine at the weekend and it definately does have a compass and a capacitive touchscreen.
Strangely - even though it has got the front facing camera - I've not been able to find any way to do a video call!
"Strangely - even though it has got the front facing camera - I've not been able to find any way to do a video call!"
Yeah me found that too... however u can use it to take pictures of yourself and videos:P
TF pls update your review as it is mis-leading!!
As the other users said this phone has a capacitive touch screen. The info on here is wrong.
ok had this phone for 4 weeks so far .....and then the bad news the battery died after week one , so ok thay changed that week 2 and i cant use the key bord to type so went to the shop and had it re-booted and lost all my apps thanks .... week 3 wnnt very well but guess what i just lost the key bord and 150 tells me all they can do is take in to a shop and have it looked at thanks .................not so when i asked why i was never offered insurance for this phone thay tell me that when you up grade over the phone they don offer you it thanks .................not x2
