Thanks for the link RG, I just emailed this to my Rep:
Representative Cooper:
As a law abiding resident, sportsman and firearms owner in the State of Tennessee, I urge you to work and vote against the current H.R.-1022 "Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2007."
This legislation is poorly conceived, poorly written and serves only to restrict the access of the law abiding citizens of our State and Country to firearms that do in fact serve several legitimate and legal purposes.
The wording of this Resolution is such that many firearms currently being used for hunting, shooting sports, private collections and even self defense would instantly become illegal to own and/or purchase.
Our home was broken into late one night about two years ago. I was fortunate in that I was able to scare off the intruder before he (or they) crossed the threshold into our home but I assure you I was prepared to defend my family from harm with the most effective means possible. As I guarded the door that night, my wife frantically called the 9-1-1 operator. Being a weekend, she was automatically put on hold to await an available operator and finally, after several minutes, she was able to speak to someone and an Officer arrived at our door thirty minutes later ... Mr. Cooper, thirty minutes is a very long time when your protecting your home from an intruder. By the way, that person (or persons) were never caught and as far as we know they're still out there roaming the streets.
Shortly after that incident, I enrolled in an NRA approved handgun training course and completed the steps necessary to receive my handgun carry permit.
For many of the same reasons, I also feel the "High Capacity Magazine Ban" is utterly preposterous in that someone in some nice, clean office somewhere actually believes they know, without a doubt, how many rounds of ammunition anyone will need to defend themselves in a possible violent assault. If we had that much information we could call Law Enforcement ahead of time and have the offenders arrested as soon as they arrived.
Mr. Cooper, I urge you to protect our right to effective self defense and legal firearms ownership. Please vote in opposition to H.R.-1022.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

what is a Greeblie? :confused

what is a Greeblie? :confused
taken from google.
"a term used by the production designers and artists for the films, a greeblie is any technological-looking detail added to a starship or vehicle .."
so in shorts it's the little things added to blasters, armor, ships, and the sort.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.....I just knew it was something highly secret and you guys were talking in code to keep us new guys in the dark.:lol
Greeblies: see also Nurnies. :)
Greeblie......It's just such a cool word. Go on say it......Greeblie.....Nice :)
it's junk that would otherwise be thrown away but can be used to accept or create the illusion of a different part.
Like, bottle caps can look like knobs or buttons.
Or model kit pieces can look like functional switches/buttons/knobs etc. when added to a larger piece, especially mechanical.
On here...it's just a found part or item that is used on a costume (usually the found part has a completely different use) ex. model kit parts on the boba fett rifles
I remember when I first joined, this term was completely alien to me. I couldn't find it on dictionary.com, Urban Dictionary or anything.
widgets is a cool word too LOL
If I recall, the term 'greeblie' was used to describe any and all parts on movie props that had no other name. Not sure if the term was coined by Lucas himself or someone else.
Does George Lucas get royalties when we use it?:lol

It's difficult for 41-year-old Belton resident Joe Dimino to speak about the tragic death of a 5-year-old autistic Cass County boy earlier a month ago.
On July 8, more than 100 searchers combed through corn fields and over creeks for more than six hours in Garden City searching for the little boy, Gene Cory-Ferguson, who in a moment had wandered off from his home.
It happened in an instant, but by dusk, a rescuer found the boy dead at the bottom of an algae-covered pond no more than 100 feet from his house.
"It's so hard as another parent to talk about what happened," Belton parent Joe Dimino said.
Joe's 9-year-old son, Miles, is also on the autism spectrum, and needs constant attention and supervision.
"It's such a heartbreaking thing because you're constantly, constantly on edge to make sure that everything is good," he said. "There's never really ever time that he goes out of range. You're constantly thinking about what needs to be done and you're constantly keeping an eye on your children. We always know where he is at, we're always keeping an eye, and we're actively engaged."
But, unfortunately, accidents happen.
The heartbreaking tale in rural Cass County has been replayed over and over again in the community since that dreadful afternoon.
But like other parents of autistic children, Joe and his wife, Carrie, 42, understand the realities of bringing up a child who is on the spectrum.
Miles was born with an extra piece of genetic material in his 15th chromosome that resulted in sensory integration issues. In his case, Miles struggles with speech communication.
For parents of autistic children, a quick slip in the pool or a mad dash into a busy street could take a tragic turn in a moment - as it could for any young child who wouldn't know better.
"There are a lot of levels of fascination and curiosity that go into anything that is happening around them," Joe said. "You need to make sure that you communicate the dangers."
The Diminos have pledged their lives in monitoring their son at all times.
They also made sure he could swim by an early age after they installed a pool at their home when Miles was 5.
"One thing we were very specific about was making sure he knew how to swim early on," Joe said. "We wanted to make sure that he was going to be able to be self-sufficient in water."
Joe said special needs kids are fascinated with things like water.
Miles also likes to be friendly with dogs, and enjoys cooking - both things that could be dangerous, but something his parents don't restrict him from doing.
"You just have to be on the lookout - whether he's going to cut something with a knife or touching something hot - you have to be very mindful," Joe said. "It's the life we've been given."
The Diminos, along with their 16-year-old son, Zen, have adapted to practicing precaution in about everything to keep Miles safe.
"You have to keep an extra eye on everything that is going on," Joe said. "There's never really a moment in your mind of taking yourself away anywhere. There's never any break of any kind of contact or thinking about how he is doing or his well-being."
Raising a child with special needs can also be straining on a couple's relationship as a man and wife. The Diminos are aware that they need to make time for each other while caring for their sons.
The divorce rate for couples who have a special needs child is about 80 percent, Joe said.
But in celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary on July 17, he and Carrie have cultivated what lured them together - and their love for each other and for Miles - is a huge part of that equation.
While some see autism as a burden, or as something weird, the Diminos strive to live life to the fullest.
"My philosophy is lets just get out and do it," Joe said. "There is no need in putting up any kind of barriers to anything."
A soon-to-be fourth grade student at Gladden Elementary School, Miles is interested in about anything a boy his age might be, including sports, and has to be actively engaged every waking moment of the day.
Miles competes in his school's Special Olympics program, where he plays bocce ball, runs track and field and participates in bowling and basketball.
He also plays soccer and baseball in the YMCA's Challenger program. Miles is interested in about anything a boy his age might be - except for the TV.
"He does not like TV so it's full on engagement," Joe said. "Everything we do is human engagement and centered around activities that involve doing artwork to throwing the football around."
The father-and-son pair also blog together about their livelihoods at http://milesalfonsodiminotherapy.blogspot.com.
Joe has been blogging about their journey since Miles was first diagnosed - providing an archive of all the advancements their son has made.
In the present, from blogs from the pool, to updates about school, the digital medium provides an avenue for Joe and his son to capture their daily musings.
The forum also gives the family a voice in the autism community, and even features interviews he's done with CNN on the autism subject.
"We stay active in the special needs community," Joe said.
He also speaks out against labels.
"What I think the world needs to understand about autism is that it's a beautifully-unique way of looking at this world," Joe said. "In the way our society is structured, there is so much judgment. There's so many people who are ready to say you're a bad parent."

- - Hello From S.W Missouri! (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/introductions-welcome-mat/440449-hello-s-w-missouri.html)
Hello From S.W Missouri!
Hello everyone, I don't have a GSD yet, I'm still in the hunting phase. I've been lurking around here for a few days reading articles and pandering about, and thought it was time I introduced myself!
I'm 24, my husband will be 30 in June. My husband grew up with a GSD who would follow him through **** or high water. She was a stray but she latched right onto him. He said she'd growl at people other than him, but I think maybe that was more from her circumstance than it was a GSD trait entirely. He mentioned she was very much a one person dog. I'd like the dog we get to love and bond both him and me and not be growling at strangers. I figure this is part of the puppy socialization/meeting new people and new things.
My husband and I live near Branson, and are looking for a GSD to join our family. We're thinking of getting a puppy. We have ferrets and even though we can keep everyone separate we'd like to train the dog to see them as part of the pack and not as a tasty snack.
I've been trying to find a good breeder, but it seems most are so far away. I did message crooked creek on Facebook with some general questions, I noticed a few owners on here recommended her. We'd like a Black and Tan pup, but I think personality and temperament are more important than color.
I know we can buy a pup online and have it shipped, but that just seems so odd to me, shipping a puppy! I think I'd rather find someone in a near by state or in missouri that I could go to, or meet half way. I'd really like to be able to go, and see the dogs, and the area and things like that. :wub:
I'm so excited to be here! We most likely won't be getting a pup until the end of this year/next year so that I have time to save up money for all the vet visits, adoption, toys and crates and so on. I know puppy's are usually ~1400 with a 300$ deposit. I understand it's hard to put a price on a puppy, and that isn't the main "goal" of a good breeder, but money is part of the equation and it'd help to know just how much I'll need.
:welcome: Good luck in your puppy search!
Thanks for the welcome mary beth! It's so fun to read everyone's stories and oogle pictures here while I'm in the middle area!
I'm really thinking I want to train my pup to do *SOMETHING* but I'm not sure. There is training club about an hour away that does different events. I'm looking at obedience classes. Agility looks fun, but I don't think we have the stuff to practice with around the home.
Welcome! I'm in the Ozarks and have had a great experience with the Springfield, MO Dog Training Club. Is that the one you're looking at?
Yes it is! How reassuring!
Can I ask if you got your gsd as a pup or from a rescue? :) you're the first person I've met in this area.
I got Cafall as a pup from vom Heinolf German Shepherds in AR. Sorry to be so long in responding. I totally lost track of this thread.
1 Attachment(s)
I can highly recommend Kestler Kennels. Our boy came from there and has an unbelievable temperament. Everyone who meets him comments on how beautiful he is and how well behaved and socialized he is.
Their website is linked below, although I don't think they are anticipating having any litters until the end of the year.

text: I set up an online account with parts4euro.com. After adding somethings only to my cart never checking out, then changed my mind and removed the items from my cart . They keep sending me an invoice every month to paypal. So i contacted them through the online chat. When i asked them to cancel my invoice they then said "agent has left chat"!! What kinda of crap are they trying to pull here! I have emailed them back saying please cancel this invoice! NEVER HAPPENS!! If anyone knows how to cancel an invoice that you never made with these ppl. Please let me know! thanks!


text: Whats the verdict on these pieces of crap? I have one that I am afraid to fire at the range due to all the horror stories I have read on them. I know it is very cheaply made, but do I have to worry about it blowing up in my hand while shooting it? Any advice would be great. I carry Glock 23 for CCW and Mossberg 500 pistol grip for HD, so its not like I really need the Davis for protection.

Join Jon Cotner in a Spontaneous Society
After walking thousands of city blocks, poet Jon Cotner now wants to take you with him. In what seems like a combinatorial twist (is that a ballet move? ow) on theater of intimacy and Improv Everywhere, Cotner has developed a new walking project called "Spontaneous Society." Starting Thursday, June 9, and finishing on Friday, June 17, the walks each take place in a different neighborhood of New York City, including the UWS, West Village, East Village, and Cobble Hill. The project is produced by Elastic City, an organization founded by Todd Shalom that commissions artists to create their own walks, with the intention of "[focusing] less on providing factual information and more on heightening our awareness, exploring our senses and making new group rituals in dialogue with public space in the city."
So lest you think this a mere amble, keep reading. For "Spontaneous Society," Cotner will give each participant two lines to repeat to strangers on the sidewalk, in an effort to "replace urban anonymity with something bordering on affection," as he told us. Among your lines:
"That looks pretty cozy" (uttered when someone approaches with a baby carriage); "That's a good-looking wolfpack" (uttered when someone passes with three or more dogs); "I hear that's a nice way to cool off" (said when someone passes with an ice-cream cone, iced coffee, or slushy); "I hear that's good exercise" (said when someone passes holding heavy bags); "It must be nice to have a little helper" (said when a kid seems to be helping a parent or nanny) . . . .
Our suggestions: "Will you please take me to your fancy brunch," "Why in bells are you wearing that?" and "Kindly move away rightnow." No? Spontaneous societies nonetheless! (Maybe we shouldn't go on this one. But you should!) Each walk holds five people and is only $20. More info at Elastic City.

protecting pressure treated lumber from the elements
recently built our pergola out of pressure treated lumber, what is the correct process for seal or stain? better stains? have to be done annually? maybe some helpful facts on finishing the wood properly?
First, chances are you will have to wait at least 6 months to put any finish on pressure treated wood unless the treatment was a type that can be finished immediately. Check with the supplier. You will just be wasting your money and potentially causing problems if you race the process.
Since it has not been finished before, when it is time, I would stain it. Your options range from semi-transparent stains to solid stains. Semi-transparents preserve some of the existing color and most all of the wood grain variations. On the other end of the spectrum, solid stains will leave the wood grain texture but will be opaque like paint. People are probably getting tired of me posting this but it provides a nice visual explanation.
The argument is getting harder but I preferred solvent based semi-transparent or even semi-solid stains. If you live somewhere where solvent based products are hard to buy, you will probably do alright with waterbased stains. I think when you get to solid stains you are better off with a good acrylic product like Sherwin Williams Woodscapes. Woodscapes can be tinted to any color like paint and the acrylic provides excellent colorfastness. Ben Moore makes a comparable product but it is fairly new and I never used it even though I used their paint more than others. Make sure you use a product with nice UV protection built into the formula!
You could also use a quality primer and paint but with solid stains what they are and your ability to match any color, it doesn't make alot of sense in my opinion.
As for how often? There are lots of variables starting with just the kind of weather it is going to be subjected to on a regular basis. If you use a good paint store product over properly prepped surfaces you might get 3-5 years out of an application. I usually advised folks to plan on 2-3. If they got more great, if not they were prepared.
Do avoid wax based sealing products like Thompson's Water Seal. Use will come to haunt you.
And make sure to lay a tarp down on the deck before stain. You have no idea how many people want to know to go back and fix the deck after dripping stain all over it.
You really can't get any better advice than Sdsester gave. Spot on! Through many years of trial and lots of error, I have found that Flood Co's CWF-UV is a very good clear sealer. You can buy it in different tones such as cedar and redwood to get that deep cedar or redwood look. Woodscapes is a very good solid stain system which gives you hundreds of different colors to choose from. On a pergola, I would say you are going to get a good 3-4 years before recoating. If you were doing a deck, you would be lucky to get 2 years.
As for the process, I would simply coat with a roller and brush. The roller will push the material into the wood giving you a better finish. You can brush it out to push it into the wood even more.
thanks for the advice, any numbers on moisture meter to look for? hoping to go with a natural finish.

Jazz Musicican Jon Barnes join sponsor Monster Cable CEO Noel Lee, along with other celebs like Car Collector and Host Jay Leno, NBC Tonight show for a record turnout and sales at the Pebble Beach, Concours D' Elegance (Aug. 16-18) for Monterey Auto Week.
"This has been an amazing week here in Pebble Beach," said Barnes, who attended several VIP functions and luncheons at the Concours D' Elegance, including the lunch and dinners with the Lamborghini Club of America. "I've never seen so many rare cars and beautiful hydbrids."
After signing autographs, he played his trumpet for small and large groups at the world renown auto event on California's CentralCoast.
Published reports show Monterey Car Week attracted a record crowd and a new record in sales at the world auction at nearly $302 million in rare vehicles.
And speaking of rare Barnes brought his one-of-a-kind daCarbo Trumpet (made of carbon- fiber materials) and play a few notes for dignitaries. He also was invited inside the exclusive lawn area at the exhibits of like Ferrari, Bugatti, Laraki and Mercedes-Benz for a few more photos with owners of each brand.
The new hybrid Porsche 918, which has two electric motors, is also made of carbon fiber materials to make it lighter. On top and at the back of the hybrid, is the catalytic converter and exhausts, usually found under the car. It has an aerodynamic body design and according to owner Frank Wallister, it can go zero to 60 MPH in 2.7 seconds.
There were a half-dozen auction companies according to the Los Angeles Times that sold 726 cars during the annual weeklong gathering of car fans in Monterey, Carmel, and Pebble Beach. It amounts to a jump of nearly 15 percent more than last year, according to Hagerty Insurance, which tracks classic car values.
According to those people keeping track RM Auctions sold a rare 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4*S N.A.R.T. Spider for $27.5 million on Saturday night making it the most expensive car to hit the road ever sold at an auction.
Monterey Auto Week
All over Monterey County from classic cars to hybrid sports cars took to the streets, golf courses, parks and the world-renowned Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca with automobiles of yesteryear.
The Concours D' Elegance, Pebble Beach is a spectacular annual event where exhibits of some of the most unusual, eye-popping pre-war and post-war cars, along with the latest in concept car designs. It is a long tradition going back more than a half century, the Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance. It is where the world's collector cars meet and compete.
Only the 175 best collector cars in the world roll on to the legendary 18th fairway at Pebble Beach and only a few of them will get recognition for style, technical merit and historical accuracy of their vehicles. It is one of the most spectacular auto shows around the globe.
Right now, music master Barnes is in studio writing music for Arturo Sandoval, who along with lead vocalist, Skip Martin of Kool and the Gang toured Europe for the Monster Cable-sponsored daCarbo Jazz Festival.
Barnes has also produced a CD celebrating Miles Davis music. The cover features Barnes and a Miles Davis commemorative United States Postal Service Stamp. The music pays respect and honor to Miles Davis. Barnes original music was written after attending the ceremonies in New York and at The Hollywood Bowl.

Knoxville, Tenn. - T.J. Graves' steal of home in the 12th inning lifted the Division II Carson-Newman Eagles to an 8-7 victory over the No. 6 Tennessee Volunteers at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in a make up game for a Tuesday rainout game against Wofford.
Graves, who went 5-for-6 with three RBI, got the rally started by singling and taking third when Vol first baseman Brett Chappell fielded a bunt by Derrick Calkin and unleashed a wild throw down the first base line. With an 0-1 count to Ryan Haun, Graves took off for home as Haun swung and missed. The ball got away from catcher Kelly Edmundson who dove to make the tag, but Graves slid in for the go ahead run.
It was Carson-Newman's second straight victory over the Vols as it took 10-5 decision in Jefferson City, Tenn., in the last meeting in 1999. The Eagles improved to 28-20-1, while Tennessee fell to 29-6.
Tennessee tried to rally in the bottom of the 12th, getting two runners aboard with two out on an Eagle error and hit by Rob Fitzgerald, but Eli Iorg flied out right to end the threat.
After Tennessee built a 4-0 lead after two, Nick Jacobs single handedly got the Eagles back in the game with a pair of two-run home runs in the third and sixth innings as Carson-Newman took a 7-6 lead.
Eric King tied the game on passed ball in the bottom of the sixth as he reached on an error and took third on two groundouts.
Nathan Gravely also had four hits for the Eagles who out-hit Tennessee 15-13.
Paul Davis (3-1) pitched four shutout innings for the win. He limited the Vols to just two hits while striking out four.
Patrick Hicklen (2-2), the eighth Vol pitcher of the night, took the loss.
Luke Hochevar, who returned to action for the first time since Feb. 13 after suffering a head injury March 13, started and pitched a designated two innings. He struck out three and gave up two bloop singles to the first three Eagle hitters before retiring the final four hitters he faced.
After Iorg singled scored on Kyle Norrid's base hit in the first, he then delivered a two-double in the second and plated on a sacrifice fly for a 4-0 Tennessee lead.
Jacobs put the Eagles on the board in the third with a two-run home run, while Graves added an RBI double to cut the lead to 4-3.
Graves the laced a two-run double to right center, just past the outstretched glove of Iorg, giving the Eagles a 5-4 lead.
The lead was short lived as Nick Crowe put the Vols back on top with a two-run home run to right in the bottom of the inning.

WASHINGTON – A South Korean university professor, appearing at a symposium in the U.S. capital, criticized the recent Japan-South Korea agreement to resolve the "comfort women" issue for being negotiated in secret.
The process leading up to the accord about women forced into wartime brothels for Japanese soldiers was "not transparent," Park Yu-ha, a professor at Sejong University in South Korea, told the symposium Monday.
"People are not convinced that this was the resolution that is to close off all discussions on the matter," Park said, adding that the bilateral deal was reached "behind closed doors." She is the author of a book whose title can be translated as "Comfort Women of the Empire."
Park highlighted the need to create "a consultative body where people can discuss" the matter with the Japanese and South Korean governments.
After the symposium, Park said it is natural that objections have been raised because the necessary process of holding discussions with South Koreans was omitted.
The process should be carried out over the next six to 12 months, she said.
Another participant to the symposium, Alexis Dudden, a professor at the University of Connecticut, criticized the accord as it calls for the removal of a statue of a girl symbolizing the comfort women issue in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul.
"Neither the Japanese nor the South Korean government has the right to mess with this statue," Dudden said. "The survivors (among former comfort women) and their supporters alone decide where it belongs."
She also said groups around the world are demanding the removal of statues representing perpetrators of what are now regarded as criminal acts.

Has this been happening only to early build ATS's, or is it still happening in more recent builds? Build dates for those who have the problem please.

Has this been happening only to early build ATS's, or is it still happening in more recent builds? Build dates for those who have the problem please.
Mine is 11/12 and I do feel a little hiccup sometimes but not anything I'm worried about.
1) Very light trembling at idle (this is a 4 cylinder after all and may just be how the engine operates normally at idle)
2) Heavy, periodic trembling at idle (very infrequent; only 1 or 2 people with this issue have posted so far)
3) Stalling after idle (not sure if trembling as well) (very infrequent; only 1 person with this issue has posted so far)
4) Brief, periodic stumbles or hiccups at idle that almost feel like a misfire (a handful of people have posted about this issue)
Personally I have had issue #4. However, it has gotten less frequent recently. Not sure why? Perhaps this issue is ironing itself out through engine break in?
I will look at my build date and post back...
Where do you find the build date?
On the drivers door. There is a label with the build Month/Year listed.
Thanks bravnik. My build date is 10/12. No hiccup
the other day I did observe a hiccup in my engine.. nothing serious, but it dipped in RPMS (1000-500) then jumped back up.
Yes, I had a 3.6 as a loaner this last time, and it ran excellent!! The first time they kept my 2.0 turbo... they gave me an XTS to drive, and it was amazing!!!! I believe I just got one that should not have made the cut
Build 10/12 -- 2.5 engine -- brief hiccups and stumbles since getting the car in December. No stalls. Some days it never occurs. Dealer spoke with Cadillac Technical Assistance and was told Cadillac is aware of the issue and it's under investigation. As of now, no fix.
Ok, just checked my car and it is a 10/12 2.0 turbo luxury package. RWD
It has died 3 times. 2 of them I was sitting at a stop light, I did not have my foot on gas when it happened. My foot was on the brake. Once it happened just as I pulled into the drive through at the bank. One other time I was able to shift into neutral and rev engine a bit and it did not die, but it sure wanted to. The car rocks back and forth pretty rough before it has died. several times while either in park or drive while sitting still, it will do this. They have tightened bolts and adjusted psi and have updated QUE also. Time before last, as I was on the highway going about 75mph, I adjusted my right side mirror slightly, and both my back windows went down and my trunk popped open. Scared me to death. Just today, I went to supply store and put my items into my trunk, I got about 2 blocks down the road and I heard a click, and my QUE said my trunk was open. Again, I was in traffic with cars all around me. I got to the next exit pulled in, got out and my trunk was stuck shut! My car said it was open, but I could not open it at all. I called Onstar, they said call the dealership. I am again taking this car in for service to see if they can get my trunk open tomorrow am. So many times my trunk has popped open, but this time it wont open.. I never know what surprises my car will deliver. I do know its getting old.... I wish to be traded out :( It is dangerous to me.
@Hair Slinger -- I feel for you and I wish you luck. I'm also dealing with a host of electrical gremlins. Some have been solved but new ones keep popping up. Re your trunk and window issues -- the 2012 Buick Lacrosse, when it first came out, had body control module issues, specifically, the G205 circuit. Trunks and windows would open by themselves, lights would go on and in some cases, the engines started by themselves in the middle of the night. Food for thought for your dealer.
I wouldn't bury the ATS over this, its a minor issue that I'm sure will get resolved. Even if my car stalled once or twice I wouldn't flip as long as it fired back up.. on the basis that cadillac was fixing it (which I'm sure they will), we did after all buy a BRAND new car series, theres bound to be a bug that didn't get caught, and I'm ok with it as long as its minor and they're gonna fix it, its not like Toyota where the accelerators got a mind of there own.
again.. mine hasn't stalled, I just noticed a weird dip in RPM's then it came back... but other than that my car is perfect (no cue) and I really have nothing to complain about.. if anything.. I have nothing by praise for this car
my buddy got his 2.0T tuned and he said the idle stumbling i gone.. it HAS to be an A/F problem wich is EASILY fixed.
My gut says that Cadillac was too aggressive with tuning the ATS for fuel economy and performance. To squeeze out a little more fuel economy they probably set the idle RPMs as low as possible which causes the engine to run just above it's rough spot and almost near it's stall zone. Should be a simple software fix for most of us.
Except the gas mileage sucks......
Get a Prius! :)

An Update On Finding Balance
6 comments:
I want to find more balance that includes cocktails on Monday afternoons! :)ReplyDelete
I'm still working on finding a balance in life when it comes to work, church, and blogging. Part of me just wishes I can do blogging full time, but I need help with that. I've been thinking about doing a consultation and maybe even a mentor, but too nervous to take that leap. Maybe some day I will gain that courage to do so. Love reading your blog!ReplyDelete
xoxo Allison over at Allison's Eye
Hey, it all sounds good to me! Balance is always a great thing, sister.ReplyDelete
Lisette is amazing and I agree, finding balance is hard!ReplyDelete
Totally agree with your thoughts! Balance is key and life is too short so LIVE IT UP :)ReplyDelete

I love Lisette! She is such a sweetie pie, and has so much blog juju!! I agree that finding balance is way too hard. If balance was a person, she'd be a bitch!ReplyDelete
I read and appreciate every one of your comments. Thanks for stopping by my space and sharing a piece of yourself on this huge ole internet. I meant that in the least creepy way possible. I'm just good at making everything awkward. Anyhow, thank you for your comments. They make me smile :)

No. 9 Pacific Defeats No. 12 USC in Four
STOCKTON, Calif. - The Pacific men's volleyball team pulled out an exciting victory tonight at the Spanos Center, defeating 12th ranked USC 17-16, 15-7, 7-15, 17-16. With the win, Pacific's record goes to 9-4 overall and 4-4 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation.
The Tigers won a hard-fought game one which lasted just over 50 minutes. After holding match point seven times, the Tigers were finally able to put the game away on a Vladimir Andric ace (one of seven on the night). Games two and three resulted in two 15-7 decisions, with the Tigers coming in on the losing end in game three. Game four was another evenly played contest, as the Tigers fended off three match points at 15-16. Once again it was Andric's power serving that gave Pacific the last two points, and the win under the 17-point cap rule.
Greg Wakeham led the Tigers with 29 kills, 17 digs, and added five blocks. KeAlii Alexander finished the match with 76 assists. Andric pounded 27 kills and Sam Crosson contributed 12 for the Tigers as the team hit a combined .243. USC's Gabe Garner lead the Trojans with 37 kills and hit .380, while the team hit .303 on the night. With the loss, USC's record falls to 8-7, and was 5-5 in the MPSF.

Re: LegendreP error (bug?) in Mathematica
I confirm the problem. Just as an example,
In[1] := LegendreP[200, 43, 4/5] // N
Out[1] = 2.9256424676613492`*^97
In[2] := LegendreP[200, 43, 0.8]
Out[2] = 6.151579920980095`*^118
give strikingly different results! (The former result is accurate.)
It seems that this problem occurs only for the associated Legendre
polynomials with large m; for m=0 the numerical result is accurate.
MathWorld (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LegendrePolynomial.html) gives
a recursion relation (Eq. 66) for the associated Legendre polynomials,
and I was under the impression that this gave stable results. John,
maybe you can use this recursion relation to get better results, or
you can call the GNU Scientific Library through MathLink (http://
www.gnu.org/software/gsl/). Bhuvanesh, I am very curious how you
explain this behavior.

No big improvement in the 2015 model
By Desert Rat
Review updated September 17, 2015
As a background, I am a retired Information Systems professional and I am writing this review from the perspective of being a long-time Kindle user. I have all the current e-readers and Fire devices from Amazon including the basic Kindle, the 2013, 2014 and new 2015 Paperwhite, the Fire HD6, Fire HD7, Fire HDX7 and Fire HDX8.9. This review is for the 2015 "All-New Kindle Paperwhite." The attached picture shows the 2014 Kindle on the left and the new 2015 Kindle on the right. Here is the summary of my initial impressions of the 2015 model versus the 2014 model.
I am somewhat disappointed in the 2015 version as there is not a huge improvement over last year's model. The Paperwhite made many improvements from its original first generation 2012 model to its second generation 2013 model, especially in the display and processor area. The 2013 model came with 2 GB storage, a wonderful display, a great battery and was the e-book "workhorse." The second generation 2014 model changed by only increasing storage to 4 GB. The third generation 2015 model increased the display resolution but reduced the battery life slightly.
WHAT COMES IN THE BOX: A Paperwhite device, a quick-start guide and a short USB cord. Amazon still does not supply a power adapter.
SIZE: It's the same identical size as the older Paperwhites. The weight has been reduced slightly from 7.3 to 7.2 ounces, a fraction of an ounce, most likely because of a smaller battery.
The good news is that all cases that fit the other Paperwhites will fit the 2015 version!!
DISPLAY: The resolution has been bumped up to 300 ppi, equivalent to the Voyage. However, in practical use, I can't tell the difference unless I put an earlier version next to the new version for comparison. Unfortunately, when I place them side-by-side, I noticed that the new Paperwhite is not quite as bright as the older models when set at the same brightness level. This is more noticeable at lower settings. Also, my Kindle has a slight shadow area along the bottom that appears as a small gray smudge and isn't quite as evenly lit as the rest of the display. It is very small but noticeable. The logo on the bottom of the screen is now shiny black against matte black on the plastic case instead of being displayed in silver lettering. It's difficult to see except when viewing the shiny "Kindle" reflection at an angle to light.
(September 2015 update: The Kindle logo is how I tell my new 2015 Paperwhite and older Paperwhites apart. They are that similar!)
BATTERY: The battery of the 2013 and 2014 Paperwhites are rated a third larger than the new model. And it is noticeable! When operating simultaneously, the new PW battery drains much faster. It is currently rated at 6 weeks of ½ hour average daily usage versus 8 weeks for the older models. That specification translates to 21 hours of use versus 28 hours of use for the older models.
(September 2015 update: I was on a week-long vacation trip but forgot my chargers. I had the 2014 Kindle with me, and as I was on vacation, I read a lot. The battery lasted--barely--the entire vacation. Given the shorter battery life, the 2015 model would have lost power before I came home. Normally, this shouldn't be an issue for most people as the 2015 battery does last a long time. But.... I am so spoilt by not having to carry a charger on trips, even long trips.)
STORAGE: Nothing has changed. It comes with the same 4 GB of storage. Mine netted 2990 MB free space from the factory. This number will vary slightly from device to device depending on the actual hard drive.
HARDWARE: Alas, there is still no audio with the Paperwhite. So you still can't play songs in the background or listen to Audible books. If you need audio features, you may want to look at the Kindle Fire lineup as audio capabilities are not available on the PaperWhite, standard Kindle, or the Kindle Voyage. (September 2015 update: I still wish I could listen to Audible books like you could on the Kindle Keyboard.)
Wifi: Nothing has changed. I had hoped for an upgrade to 802.11ac or at least add the less crowded 5-Ghz range of wifi. If you are in a wifi crowded area, you will need to be closer to your router to download books. While the Paperwhite does not use a lot of bandwidth, it does need to be able to communicate with a router for WhisperSync to work and to download books.
It is possible that the new Kindle Paperwhite either has a slightly faster processor, or more likely, the memory has been upgraded from 512MB to 1024MB to match the Voyage. I have over a thousand books installed. To keep track of what I have, all books are added to collections, such as "Reading Queue" for those I have not read but want to read, and "Already Read" for those books I have already read. In addition, my books are also categorized by genre collections such as "Crime/Mystery/Thriller," "SciFi/Fantasy," "Historical Fiction," "Romance," etc. Categorizing my books helps me considerably when I wish to find a new book to read in my library which I have not read and what I want is a Mystery novel, but not a SciFi. When I download a new book and try to add it to the appropriate collections for later enjoyment, the process can be extremely slow, so slow that sometimes, I am not sure that I have even touched the check box in the add-to-collection screen because it takes forever to respond. The 2015 Kindle seems to be faster in that area.
(September 2015 update: I've noticed that the speed is directly related to the strength and quality of the WiFi signal. I am in a crowded WiFi area and although I can get a fairly good signal, the speed definitely degrades when I am not in the same room as the router. I still wish it had a 5Ghz antennae as that bandwidth is less crowded and faster.)
SOFTWARE: The user interface on the new Paperwhite is identical to the old Paperwhite except that the new Paperwhite comes with the Bookerly font installed. Those who own one of the new Fire tablets already have the Bookerly font for comparison. Personally, on the Paperwhite, I like the Caecilian and Palatino fonts as much as I do the Bookerly. It seems that the best font for reading changes depending on the book and the magnification of the font. (There are still eight size magnifications.) However, the firmware version installed with my 2015 Paperwhite was a version behind. The Firmware Version installed on the 2015 model is Kindle 18.104.22.168 (2634130033) versus Kindle 22.214.171.124 (263439002) installed on my 2014 model.
(September 2015 update: Amazon has updated the software on all their Kindles so the Bookerly font is available on all the devices.)
WITH SPECIAL OFFERS OR WITHOUT?? If you buy a case that automatically shuts the device off when closed and turns on when opened, I strongly recommend paying the extra $20 for removing the ads. If you have special offers, the Kindle still needs to be swiped from the lock screen to get to the page of the book where you left off. If you do NOT have special offers, when you open your case, you are immediately brought to the book and page where you stopped reading. No lock screen! Having a Kindle Paperwhite without special offers is wonderful. Open up the case, Kindle turns on and you pick up right where you left off. Close the case and it turns off. No extra finger swipes! This is true only for the Kindle e-readers. The Fire tablets continue to open up to the lock screen which must be swiped irrelevant of whether you have special offers or not.
NOTE: I received the advanced order of the 2015 Paperwhite on June 30. I was not able to order the device without special offers. Normally, you should be able to pay the upgrade difference online to remove special offers. Unfortunately, the device that I have received does not have an option to remove special offers for this device only! I do not know if this option will be available for all new orders or if they will correct the oversight in the future. So, order the device without special offers if you think you will ultimately want that because it is possible that you will not be able to remove them in the future.
(September 2015 update: Amazon fixed the option to remove special offers. And I still recommend that you buy it without special offers if you use a case that automatically turns it on and off.)
This is what has changed from the 2014 model.
PLUS: Higher resolution screen with Bookerly font. Possibly quicker when managing large numbers of books. (September 2015 update: Bookerly font is now available on all Kindle devices including older Paperwhites)
MINUS: A smaller battery and shorter time life between charges. No power adapter.
NEUTRAL: The "kindle" logo at the bottom of the 2015 model is now black on black instead of the silver color at the bottom front of the 2014 model.
(September 2015 update: The Kindle logo is how I tell my newer and older Paperwhites apart.)
THE VERDICT: The new Paperwhite is still the state-of-the-art e-ink e-book reader. The only things I can think of to improve the Paperwhite is to add a power adapter, a longer USB cord, bring back the longer battery life of the earlier model and perhaps make it waterproof.
(September 2015 update: the Paperwhite is still my favorite reader. I also like the Voyage but not enough to justify the huge price difference.)
Although the Paperwhite is only an e-reader and not a tablet, there are other considerations:
* No distraction from email
* No distractions from text messages
* No distractions from phone calls.
SHOULD YOU BUY? If you own last year's Paperwhite - I don't think it is worth the upgrade. If you do not own an e-reader or have a 2012 or earlier Kindle version, definitely get the Paperwhite. It has the best mix of features for the price compared to the other Kindle e-reader models. If you are considering upgrading from the current basic $79 Kindle, definitely get the Paperwhite. If you are considering whether to get the Voyage or the Paperwhite, ask yourself, "Is getting the Page Press area at the edge of the screen worth an additional $80?" If not, get the Paperwhite.
(September 2015 update: I really like both the Paperwhite and the Voyage. But I can't tell you which one to buy. If you are the type that will buy a Cadillac instead of a Chevy, buy the Voyage. It is definitely a very nice reader. Personally, I like the Paperwhite. Even though the Voyage is slightly smaller and lighter in the hand, there is something about the Paperwhite that makes me grab it instead.)
For reading, I prefer the Paperwhite over all the readers including the Fire tablets, the basic Kindle and even the Voyage. It's optimized for readers and reasonably priced. You can throw it in your purse or pocket for traveling, even for reading in the doctor's office waiting room. If you forget to charge it overnight, it will still have enough juice to get you through the next day or two. You can read it on the beach in BRIGHT, BRIGHT sunlight or at night under DARK, DARK moonlight. Whether you sit on the front porch or hide under the bed covers, you can enjoy reading books with the Paperwhite. In addition, there is a huge selection of case styles and colors to trick out your Kindle to match your personality and reading style.
If you want to save a little money, Amazon is currently selling the 2014 model for $109. Although it doesn't have the Bookerly font, it does have a better battery. You can't go wrong with the 2014 model either, especially when it is slightly cheaper.
(September 2015 update: My older Paperwhites have been updated with new software and now all have the Bookerly font. Unfortunately, the 2014 model is no longer available for sale through Amazon.)
FOR NEWBIES: You might want to explore the following features.
VOCABULARY BUILDER: The Amazon Kindles have a tool called Vocabulary Builder which is not available in the Fire tablets. Vocabulary Builder is supposed to help you learn new words while you read: words you look up in the Kindle's dictionary are stored in Vocabulary Builder. You can review those words, test yourself with flash cards, even see where in a book you highlighted the word and remove the word from your list when you've mastered it.
PAGE FLIP: When you're on a page, swipe up from the bottom, and a slightly smaller pop-up of the page appears. The pop-up has page turn arrows to go back or go forward in the book (you can also just swipe the pop-up page). When you're ready to return to your original page, press the "X" in the upper right corner of the pop-up, and the pop-up page goes away.
HIGHLIGHT: The highlight feature allows you to highlight (in black-and-white of course) a particular passage in a book and save it so you can go back to it at a later time. You also have the option of turning on an option that shows you other popular highlights from other readers of the book. This is a VERY useful feature, especially for non-fiction books as 99% of the time, the highlights other users have made point out very important sentences and paragraphs in the book. Note that this feature does not show EVERY reader's highlights, it only shows the most popular ones and even tells you how many readers have highlighted a particular section. This can be turned on or off if you find it distracting.

A great product that's now even better
By J. Chambers
[[VIDEOID:755c0182976ece27e407ad23676f3ae8]]If you're reading reviews of the new 3rd generation Paperwhite, you're likely considering buying one. If so, you're probably in one of these categories:
* Never owned a Kindle e-ink reader
* Own an older Kindle e-ink reader, but not a Paperwhite
* Own a first or second generation Paperwhite
I'll save my opinion on whether the new Paperwhite 3 is worth buying until the end of my review. (But I will say this: They've taken a great product and made it even better.) First, here's a comparison of the new Paperwhite with the second generation Paperwhite (comparisons are for the wi-fi models):
Second Generation Paperwhite (2013)
Size: 6.7"x4.6"x0.36"
Weight (wi-fi version): 7.3 ounces
Display: 6" diagonal, 212 pixels per inch, 16-level grayscale, LED frontlit
Storage memory: 4GB
Page turns: Touchscreen
Number of fonts: 6
Display lighting: Manually adjustable front-lighting
All-New Paperwhite (2015)
Size: 6.7"x4.6"x0.36"
Weight (wi-fi version): 7.2 ounces
Display: 6" diagonal, 300 pixels per inch, 16-level grayscale, LED frontlit
Storage memory: 4GB
Page turns: Touchscreen
Number of fonts: 7
Display lighting: Manually adjustable front-lighting
Note that the physical size is identical to the older Paperwhite, so covers and sleeves that worked with the older Paperwhites are still usable (thank you, Amazon). The most obvious difference is the screen resolution: 300 pixels per inch is a major jump from the 212 pixels per inch in the older Paperwhites. With text, you may or may not notice the characters are slightly crisper, but the higher resolution is a most welcomed improvement for books that have illustrations, maps, or photographs - they'll be noticeably most detailed.
Another addition is the newly designed Bookerly font. It appears to me to be a slightly softer, more rounded font. I like it, but I'll have to use it for a while to see if I prefer it over the Caecilia font that I usually use.
Unlike backlit tablets and phones, which wash out badly in sunlight, the Paperwhite is very readable in any lighting condition from total darkness to bright sunshine, simply by adjusting the built-in lighting level. The touch screen's responsiveness has been noticeably improved over the original Paperwhite, but I couldn't tell any obvious difference compared to the second generation Paperwhite.
About the battery life: Amazon says "A single charge lasts up to six weeks, based on a half hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at 10." People's reading habits vary too much to generalize about battery life. Also, the lighting level will vary - for example, my preferred lighting level for the conditions where I read most of the time is 15. Unlike the Kindle Fires that show the percentage of remaining battery charge, the Paperwhites only have a crude graphic indicator. I've gotten into the habit of charging my Kindle about once a week, so I don't worry about it. I also leave the wi-fi connection turned on so that the Kindle can receive any software updates when they come in.
My thoughts about the "Special Offers": To me, it's not worth the $20 to opt out of the special offers. They're not really intrusive, and they don't pop up while you're reading, and sometimes you'll even see an offer that you like. After a while, you hardly notice the ads. My advice is to take the special offers and save $20. Later, if you find you don't like seeing them, you can ante up the $20 and opt out.
My thoughts about wi-fi only versus wi-fi + 3G: The wi-fi + 3G model is $70 more than the wi-fi only model. Nowadays with wi-fi being so available just about everywhere you go, most people won't need 3G. However, if you do decide to get the wi-fi + 3G Paperwhite, note that that there's no additional cost to download books over 3G (the book publishers pay that cost).
One more comment: None of the Paperwhites have audio features, including text-to-speech, speaker, or headphone jack. Audio has not been included in any of the e-ink Kindles for several years, and I doubt if it will ever return. If you want to play audio books or music, Amazon wants you to buy a Kindle Fire.
Note: The Paperwhite 3 comes with a USB charging cable but no charger. Any AC charger or vehicle charger that outputs 5 volts at about 1 amp should work just fine. This includes any Kindle chargers you already have, as well as most cellphone chargers.
Okay, what's the bottom line? The new Paperwhite is a superb ebook reader, a continuing evolution of the super-popular Paperwhite series. I have the impression that Amazon has taken the Paperwhite 2 and tweaked it from top to bottom to make the new Paperwhite 3 as good as it can be. But is it worth the money to upgrade? Here's my opinion:
* If you've never owned an e-ink reader but are considering buying one, the Paperwhite 3 is a marvelous ebook reader that makes the original Kindle (released in 2007) look like an antique by comparison (and that Kindle cost $399). It's time to go digital, and at the current selling price, the new Paperwhite can't be beat.
* If you own an older Kindle e-ink reader, but not a Paperwhite, by all means upgrade. It's not that expensive, and it provides a hugely improved reading experience compared to earlier Kindles.
* If you own a first or second generation Paperwhite, in most ways, the new Paperwhite is not a huge step up, and you're fine with your current Paperwhite. However, if you read a lot of books with illustrations, maps, or photographs, the higher screen resolution will make those images more viewable, and that could make the cost of the upgrade worth it. And if you're like my wife and me, whenever we upgraded, there were always family members or friends who were happy to take the old Kindles off our hands.
* There is one more possibility - the Paperwhite is a touchscreen device, using touches and swipes to operate, including a pop-up onscreen keypad for typing. If you're one of those folks who really misses the raised buttons that the earlier Kindles had, you're pretty much out of luck unless you want to buy a Kindle Voyage, which has embedded sensors that work kind of like buttons, but it's considerably more expensive than the Paperwhite.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments or by email.

Small changes in specifications that mean a lot to me for my reading comfort!
By JJCEO
[[VIDEOID:547c58e6ce0688159b673141e68403c]]Getting a Kindle to read with changed my life. For 50 + years I read a book every 2 days or less. As my eyes got worse, for many reasons, I just had to quit. Reading a paperback was hard and after 10 minutes of reading I simply gave up. With a Kindle I can adjust the font style and size and read for hours a day. The best straight forward reading tablet I previously owned is the Kindle Paperwhite 2013 version. This new release improves in an area that I want and one that I paid to upgrade my tablet for. The new 2015 screen has 300 PPI versus 212 PPI for the 2013 version and the screen resolution is almost twice as good as the older Kindle. The change is from 768x1024 to 1072x1448 pixels and that is a tremendous improvement and luxury for those with older eyes.
One downside is that the new Kindle Paperwhite does have a lower battery life when compared to the previous generation. The battery life has dropped from 8 weeks at ½ hour of reading per day to 6 weeks at ½ hour of reading per day. That is due to the additional energy required for the higher resolution screen and the power to render the higher resolution of text. I don't like the reduced reading time but for me this was not a big deal as it is still 21 hours of reading time (It was 28 hours on the 2013 version) and it charges quickly in 4 hours. Heck, my expensive iPad battery only lasts about 8 hours and the eyestrain is pretty tough to handle using the iPad for more than 30 minutes to read. Some people may not like this but I just recharge my Kindles every three or four days. Since the unit has a lower battery life I do believe that Amazon should have included a USB charger as someone that travels may not be carrying a laptop computer with them to charge the Kindle Paperwhite. This omission of a USB charger is still a sore point with many people. I wish Amazon would just raise the price $10 and include the charger as a standard feature!
I have added a video of the Kindle Paperwhite 2013 compared to a Kindle Paperwhite 2015 and a Kindle Keyboard. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me and I will try to answer them.
Things to do with your new Kindle Paperwhite:
* Get a simple light weight case that will turn off the screen when you close the cover. It will help save on your battery life and protect your tablet.
* Enter in a device pass code to protect your tablet in case you lose your tablet. This prevents someone from using your tablet and even from buying books using your account.
* Yes you can use just about any USB charger for this Kindle Paperwhite. I use the one that came with my Kindle Keyboard unit and it works fine.
I own multiple Kindle Fires, HP tablets and Apple iPads and Android tablets but the best reading device is a Kindle Paperwhite. Why? It is simply because I can read it outside in the sunlight, inside and at night with reduced eyestrain when compared to any other tablet I own. It is the read anyplace best tablet for reading hands down champion!
I just love this new tablet. It offers the perfect balance of a lit screen with reduced eyestrain and high clarity and contrast of the text and a good price. It is truly a step up to a better reading device. The new reading font called Bookerly is very good for my eyes. It is crisper and bolder on the screen and I can read for longer times than before. Toss in the higher screen resolution and you have a new reading experience.
I am always looking for improvements in the text and screen quality as for me that is a major issue. The print on the screen is blacker and crisper and it is easier on my eyes. Side by side with my Kindle Paperwhite 2013 the older Paperwhite text looks grey and the screen slightly yellow in comparison to this newer version. There definitely is a good improvement and that relates to more reading comfort for my eyes!
This newer 2015 Paperwhite has a few new features that I like:
* 300 PPI versus older 2013 Paperwhite at 212 PPI
* New reading font Bookerly that is bolder and designed for use on a digital screen
* 4 GB of memory versus my 2013 version that was launched with 2 GIG (Not enough for me)
Reading was my number one hobby my entire life and I just loved it. The Kindle has brought back that reading experience and now with the crisper text, better font and no glare lit screen I can enjoy my reading in every type of environment. In my video I compare the Kindle Keyboard, Kindle Paperwhite 2013 and the Kindle Paperwhite 2015 side by side. The improvements are amazing.
The new screen clarity is where this Paperwhite design really is outstanding. With better contrast, lighting and custom designed fonts, the text just pops out of the screen like you have not seen in an e-Reader before. With 300 PPI (Pixels Per Inch) this screen provides a 1072 by 1448 pixel screen that just makes the old Kindle screens look old fashioned.
My favorite time to read is the last two hours of the evening before bedtime. I also read during the day during breaks and even at my grandson's outdoor swim meets. It is impossible to read in the sunlight with a Kindle Fire or an iPad. There is simply too much glare. At night time the Kindle Paperwhite soft lit screen is unobtrusive and for me my eyes do not get tired of reading like they do on the Kindle Fire and on the iPad. I can actually read for hours without the same eyestrain I get with other tablets. You also have adjustable brightness to suit your own comfort levels and ambient conditions.
There are multiple font sizes and you can pinch and zoom on the Kindle Paperwhite screen to expand the font size or decrease it like you do on a powerful tablet, this is a great feature. There are 7 different font styles and they are Baskerville, Bookerly, Futura, Caecilia, Helvetica, Caecilia Condensed and Palatino. I think my favorite is Bookerly. I love the new dictionary feature that creates a Vocabulary Builder which is a list of the words that you looked up and you can review the list and use flashcards to enhance your vocabulary and reading skills.
There is a minor learning curve of learning where to touch the screen if you are transitioning from a much older Kindle tablet but the changeover was fast and easy. The capacitive touch response of the screen is very nice. It makes the New Paperwhite respond quickly to finger touches, menu changes and page turns. What I like about the Kindle Paperwhite is that it is a dedicated e-Reader and it combines the best features of the Kindle e-ink and the iPad/Kindle Fire.
* Ultra lightweight at 7.2 ounces and easily held for hours with one hand. I love the size and weight as it is comfortable to hold for long periods of time and you don't find yourself laying down the Paperwhite like I would be doing with my iPads. What I love is that it still weighs 7.2 ounces with 1000 books loaded into it!
* Lit screen for reading in poorly lighted areas like the iPad and Kindle Fire but without the eyestrain. The lighting level is adjustable.
* High clarity of the text and contrast for easy reading. The screen has 16 levels of gray scale available.
* Fast charging time in 4 hours
* Ability to be easily read in the sunlight with no screen glare.
* WIFI connectability
* Battery life of 21 hours (of reading time) depending on the WIFI usage and screen brightness used. You can turn off your WIFI to prolong the battery life. This specification dropped from 28 hours on the Kindle Paperwhite 2013 version.
* Touch screen control
* Easy page turning and access to the onboard dictionary, access to Wikipedia and X-Ray.
* Easy to access menu and setup was a breeze
* Fast response for loading books and page turning thanks to a faster microprocessor.
* Small, thin and highly portable
* Able to carry 3,400 books
* My favorite feature is the adjustable text size and font style!
* Custom tuned fonts add clarity and crispness to the quality of the displayed text
* Since I review a lot of books I love to highlight sections and text as well as take notes on the screen.
* Translation of foreign language that is used in the book
* Web surfing is possible but still slower than a good tablet. Who cares, this is my portable eBook reader with 3,400 books in it (depending on the book file size). I have other devices to browse the web and read my email.
* I like the rubberized feel of the back and it is similar to my Kindle Fire. It makes the Kindle Paperwhite easy to grip and hold with one hand and just have it lay in the palm of my hand without a case.
This tablet gives me the best reading conditions in the daytime and also in the night. It has a lot of great features but I wanted to post a review that provides a strong comparison between the new Kindle Paperwhite and the last Kindle Paperwhite 2013 version.

* Perfect form factor for size and weight for a hand held portable e-reader.
* I don't need to use the stupid book light that never worked well anyway!
* Faster page tuning which for me really makes a difference.
* Connection to the WIFI was fast and easy.
* Downloading my book library was fast and easy.
* Even though the screen has slight texture to it is does not show fingerprints as bad as a glossy screen like a Kindle Fire or an iPad
* Increase of the standard memory size to 4 GIG from the older versions 2 GIG
* The battery life has dropped from 8 weeks at ½ hour of reading per day to 6 weeks at ½ hour of reading per day (Roughly 28 hours to 21 hours). That is due to the additional energy required for the higher resolution screen and the power to render the higher resolution of text. For me this was not a big deal as it is still 21 hours of reading time and it charges quickly in 4 hours.
* It still costs extra money for an AC wall adapter. It comes with a USB to Micro USB cable that you can use for charging and connecting to any AC USB wall adapter or computer USB port. I don't need another USB power adapter but not getting one just makes Amazon look cheap in not supplying one with the product.
* They charge extra money to remove push ads to your Kindle Paperwhite
* No speakers and no ability to have the book read aloud to you using text to speech.
Overall considering all the issues this is a great e-Reader. It is the best available at this time when you consider the price and the features. So far I have not been able to justify the price jump to $199 for the Kindle Voyage for the small differences with the new Kindle Paperwhite. I do feel that Amazon always gives some things and takes away others. Things like text to speech, speakers and AC wall chargers disappear from new products and sometimes return in others. I also don't care for the ads still being pushed in our faces. This is still a solid 5 star product and you can't go wrong with buying one. It is just that sometimes the things you lose seem to mean more to users than to Amazon. I don't mind them saving some money but raise the price $10 and put in all the features that users will need like a charger.
