See how the Vita's first-week sales stack up in this handy infographic
Sales figures can be somewhat hard to interpret on their own; what sounds impressive without context may suddenly seem far less so when seen in relation with other relevant information. It's about the big picture, and now there's an actual big picture to help put the figurative one in perspective. ...
FFXIII-2 first week sales roughly a third of FFXIII's first week sales
Final Fantasy XIII-2, the latest sequel-sequel from the androgyny JRPG veterans at Square Enix, has closed its first week of sales in the land of the rising sun, with somewhat mixed results. The PS3 version of the title has sold 524,000 units according to Andriasang's translation of Media ...
PS Vita moves 321K in first week at Japanese retail
The PlayStation Vita has sold 321,407 units in its first week at Japanese retail, reports Famitsu. The "first week" may be a little misleading, given the handheld's launch date and Enterbrain's reporting deadline, as it only covers two days: December 17 and 18. Andriasang pulled the "first ...

Baz Ashmawy gets revved up for Setanta Insurance's anti-drug driving campaign...
Ireland's fastest growing motor insurer is spearheading the campaign to raise awareness on the dangers of drug driving among young people and has been joined by Baz as ambassador for the initiative.
Keep Drama Off The Roads is a new campaign targeting young people aged 15-25 to urge them to take a closer examination of the terrifying consequences of drug driving. Young people are being asked to create their own four-minute film to capture the dramatic impact of Ireland's growing social problem in order to make drivers think twice before getting behind the wheel of a car.
Baz said: "Getting this issue out in the open is the first step; driving while under the influence of both illegal and prescription drugs puts drivers and other road-users in serious danger. It is important that young people consider the devastating impact that drug-driving carries in order to put the brakes firmly on activity which is a world away from glamourous party images that surround us.
"Driving under the influence of drugs is dangerous and I am really pleased to join Setanta and be part of a campaign to raise awareness of a growing problem in Ireland.
"To make a really good short film, you need a simple but great idea, four minutes isn't a long time so you need to ensure you get your point across clearly, it's not easy, but I have great faith in the creativity of Ireland's future filmmakers!" continued Baz.
Short films can be entered for the competition by visiting www.keepdramaofftheroads.ie - an online resource for the facts about driving under the influence of drugs, the dangers and the penalties, as well as handy hints and tips about making your film.
Mike Matthews, Chairman and CEO, Setanta Insurance added: "We are really pleased Baz has joined the team. We are sure he will be a great ambassador for Keep Drama off the Roads, his drama background will be invaluable when spotting a good plot and well executed short film as well as connecting with a young audience."
Keep Drama off the Roads film competition will see one lucky winner scoop a €3000 prize as well as the chance to have their filmed screened to the public. Entrants are being asked to create a four-minute film based on the theme of drug-driving. Closing date for entries is 31st January 2010, for more information on the competition visit www.keepdramaofftheroads.ie

Here's the question that nags at me: How could the United Nations recognize Palestine, a state comprising of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, when the two territories are ruled separately, by factions that have actually gone to war with each other in the recent past, and which disagree about the most fundamental issue of all: the efficacy and morality of the two-state solution. Would a "unity" government suffice? But how could they be unified in reality, when their understandings of the world are diametrically opposed. This is a legal question, and ultimately a practical one. Could someone please provide a poor blogger some answers?So . . . I thought I'd write the old sport:
Yodals Goldberg,
Of course what you are saying is factually correct. But the crude meat of the matter is that Hamas is claiming to "not get in they way" of a PLO deal that Abbas makes . . . Even though they have been doing everything they can from Gaza to socialize the population against the idea. According to Hamas, "God promised them the land of Palestine," so it's not theirs to give up.
I like to think of the PA's move as a tactic. A tactic that will put them back in the drivers seat, because they weren't able to get any leverage from Bib and his gang of marginal wackos. Furthermore, Obama didn't really do anything for the PA (other than mostly pay their bills). So this is about credibility for moderate Palestinians. It's a way of looking like a hard-ass motha' in the face of the Israeli and American administrations just saying "NO" or "HOLD ON FOR OBAMA'S SECOND TERM."
That isn't going to legitimize the Fayyad/Abbas idea that Palestinians can agree to two states. In fact, when I used to live in Bethlehem, there were hardly enough moderate Palestinians for that . . . So Abbas had to do something. Mr. Abbas was done making the same mistake that Obama is making: bending over backward to win-over constituencies that didn't elect him. Or like him. Or even could vote for him in the first place.
Wouldn't you do the same in his situation?
The Col.
Update: Ma'an news agency's Nasser Laham gives his take.

Riverhead parents spoke out at Tuesday's school board meeting against a remark made by school board president Ann Cotten-Degrasse to the Riverhead News-Review that the school district would likely have to cut $4 million between the upcoming and last year's budget to stay under the state-mandated 2 percent tax cap.
The tax cap limits the school district to tax increases of more than 2 percent. The story, written after the $78.4 million school bond vote passed Oct. 11, cites Cotten-Degrasse as saying the cuts "could come to the art, music and foreign language department, though the school board will ultimately make that decision."
Cotten-Degrasse made similar comments to Riverhead Patch after the bond vote passed, though she did not mention specific cuts that were being considered.
"Right now budget-to-budget, there's $4 million that needs to be cut," Cotten-Degrasse said in an interview on Oct. 11. "We've cut just about as far as we can go with staff, now we have to start looking into programs. It's decimating public education, with this tax cap."
Cotten-Degrasse said on Tuesday that no specific cuts had been discussed yet and apologized for the comment.
"My point was it'll be very difficult this year to stay within that 2 percent tax cap without making some drastic cuts," she said,
Board member Timothy Griffing said if the school district needed to make cuts, the board would likely plan to cut programs at a lower rate across-the-board to be "fair and equitable" instead of targeting specific programs to shut down.
Still, parents who spoke before the board Tuesday night urged it to reconsider making cuts to district programs like the Latin program or arts.
Parent Sarah Bowe said programs like the arts, music and foreign language should be "off the table" if the board needs to make cuts.
"The success of our Latin program, in particular, is a source of great pride for our district and community," Bowe said. "It's baffling to think that anyone would consider cuts to such a valuable program." Bowe suggested that the board look at cutting interscholastic sports before the Latin program.
Bowe's son, 8th-grade student Alexander, told the board he had heard rumors that the board was going to cut 7th-grade Latin, and said he didn't want to see the program lost. Cotten-Degrasse told Bowie that the board had said nothing about cutting the 7th-grade Latin program.
Another parent said foreign languages are essential for children to learn in today's global and multicultural market, though she recognized it would not be east for the board to make cuts.
"I don't envy your position," she said.
Robin Flannery, who runs the Group for Riverhead Referendum Recall, which opposes the bond, accused the board of withholding the information about the $4 million deficit until after the bond vote was held to make sure the vote would pass.
Cotten-Degrasse said she never claimed the $4 million mentioned was a final number and said it was a projected difference between the budgets. Flannery said the projections should still have been announced.
"Would that have made a difference [in the vote]?" Cotten-Degrasse asked tersely.
"I 'project' it would," Flannery said.

" D.J. Akakabe Wreck "
I always wondered why Akakabe didn't receive the proper recognition that he deserved in States.....His scratches were quick and on-point, transitions were ill, and his beat juggling patterns made my jaw drop when I first heard them on the 1997 DMC's.....
In 2004 he finally won the DMC world championship and took the belt to Japan.....
Peep this footage of him at Club Bon Bon 06/ 22/ 06

My Burmese Cat Lilly is just over 2 years old . We bought her from a Breeder when she was 3 months old. She is a lilac Burmese and has turned out to be a clever and entertaining Cat. She was bought for my 12 year old son. He gathers her up every night and takes her into his bedroom when hes going to bed. He gets a spare pillow out and puts its on his bed. She jumps on to this every night and snuggles down.
When it was Lillys fist Christmas with us she had a wonderful time when we were opening presents.Just like an excited toddler she was tearing up and down and diving into the wrapping paper. We had been thinking that she needed a playmate so a couple of days later we Adopted a cat from our Cat rescue,a young male. She was not happy having him in the house at first but after a week she had settled down.
Christmas came again last year and Lilly again was tearing up and down in the wrapping paper and her playmate was fast asleep on the bed.

The week that was...
And here we are at the end of a school holiday week.
A week in which I have alternately pulled my hair out and cuddled my three children.
A week where I have revelled for a handful of sleep ins.
A week where my twitter and blogging friends assured me that Olivia will, one day, ride her bike without training wheels. One day. Maybe.
A week where I have cleared up less shit than usual.
A week my my gorgeous lovely husband bought me an iPad.
A week where I smooched a lot with my son, who is the most affectionate of souls whose dry sense of humour just cracks me up.
A week where I have seen all my children paint and paint and paint and love it.
A week that I have been blessed with the company of good friends and wonderful babysitters.
A week where my youngest has has started to read. All by herself. Magical.
A week where the weather has improved, and whilst it has been cold, it's been gloriously sunny and I have walked some steep hills.
A week where I have tried out a new stationary spin cycle and quite liked it.
A week where I have had a respite from yoga, and have been relieved.
A week where I have felt a peace settle upon me for the first time in months.
I am grateful for it all.
I am grateful for my world. It's a nice place to live and be. I am very lucky. I am grateful that this week I have had the time and sense to appreciate all that I am surrounded by.
As always, I am linking up with my blogging friend Maxabella
Tell me, what are you grateful for this week?

Somewhere this afternoon, I calculated that there were forty hours and fifty six minutes left of the school holidays. Not that I was counting or nuffin'. But then a small miracle happened and all three kids hit some weirdy state of zen, so I've come over all antsy about that Monday morning back-to-school, out-the-door chaos...

Redcar Beacon misses out on design crown
5:37pm Thursday 29th August 2013 in News By Graeme Hetherington
THE distinctive Redcar Beacon has missed out on the ignominious prize – The Carbuncle Cup.
The colourful tourist attraction of the town's seafront was between to the unwanted title by a multi-million-pound block of student accommodation on London's Caledonian Road.
The 80ft structure - dubbed the vertical pier - split opinion across the town when the plans were initially unveiled and its courted more controversy after it was selected, along with five other new buildings, to fight it out for the Cup.
The winner, which was designed by Stephen George and Partners for University College London, was once a historic red brick warehouse that has now been largely demolished despite being protected.
Building Design magazine editor and juror on the panel, Ellis Woodman said: "There is no small irony in the fact that the building stands on the same street as HMP Pentonville.
"As the first intake of students move into their dark and far from private rooms next month, they might be forgiven for wondering why the prisoners have been provided with the better view."
The Redcar Beacon, which was designed by Seven Architecture, in collaboration with Smeeden Foreman Architects, was competing with another five buildings shortlisted for the prize: Castle Mill housing, Port Meadow, Oxford, by Frankham Consultancy Group; Port Meadow, 465 Caledonian Road, London, by Stephen George and Partners; Avant Garde, 34-42 Bethnal Green Road, London, by Stock Woolstencroft; Porth Eirias Watersports Centre, Colwyn Bay, Wales, by K2 Architects; Premier Inn, Lambeth, London, by Hamiltons.

Voice-of-reality says...
Is the lack of proofreading a consequence of a fall in revenue or, can one assume, that the member of staff responsible got an A grade in English literature before the examinations grade boundaries were toughened up by Gove? Occasional slips by ordinary members of the public on this site are to be expected but the paper itself should be more professional.

Hi -
When I first use mintupdate (by clicking on the icon) it asks me for my password. The issue I have is that I don't normally logout/shutdown my laptop (I put it into standby) and so then mintUpdate retains its elevated privileges (i.e. I no longer have to input my password). I can leave my laptop for hours (in standby or in use) and it will still retain elevated privileges.
Not sure if this by design, an oversight or a bug...but is there a way around it? I would expect, as in other situations, for elevated privileges to be revoked after ~15mins.
If I logout out, elevated privileges are revoked as expected.

Trojan Man
Posted By ChiefsWarpath.com On December 27, 2010 @ 8:21 pm In Commentary | Comments Disabled
I have written a few articles indicating that I was unhappy with the play of Matt Cassel. I hooped and hollered about inserting Brodie Croyle in as the starting quarterback. To me, Matt Cassel wasn't good enough. He wasn't smart enough, he wasn't Super Bowl caliber. And all the while I received feedback that disagreed with my analysis. Readers have contributed commentary in an attempted to inform me of the value of Matt Cassel, as well as the potential of Matt Cassel. I will even go as far as to quote a gentleman who commented on an article that I had written called "True Grit."
"Jeff in VA" stated, "As for obtaining a super bowl caliber QB, I think we have one. Matt Cassel is just as good as Jake Delhomme, Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, Chris Chandler, Stan Humphries, Neil O'Donnell, Jeff Hostetler, Boomer Esiason, Jim McMahon, David Woodley, Vince Ferragamo, Mark Rypien, Kerry Collins, Matt Hasselback and Rex Grossman, all QB's who made it to the Super Bowl. I know only a few of these won, but they made it there – with a chance to win."
"I think what you really want is a Hall Of Fame quarterback and in my opinion, those are few and far between and the stars have to line up for that to happen. There are approximately 30 QBs in the HOF. That's less than one per team average and the Chiefs have had one already (three if you count Montana and Moon). Let's assume there is one future HOF QB in each draft (who really knows which one it is), you have to have a need for QB and be in position to draft him (stars lined up), if he's in the first round. Beyond the first round, you have to get lucky (ie Tom Brady). If not for Tom Brady, Matt Cassel would probably get some MVP votes this year (knock on wood, season isn't over). We can do it with Matt; we just need a few more parts. I don't think Brodie will be here next year. Just my opinion."
This comment was among many to the articles that I have written involving Matt Cassel; but it was the one that struck me the hardest.
This comment forced me to re-evaluate my position on Matt Cassel. I examined the list he the reader had posted and I began to ask myself who is Stan Humphries? I knew who he was, but did I really know who this man was? Was this the same Stan Humphries from Northeast Louisiana University (now called the University of Louisiana at Monroe)? The same Stan Humphries who was a 6th round draft choice by the Washington Redskins in the 1988 NFL draft? This Stan Humphries person was a mop. And although this Stan Humphries led the 1994 San Diego Chargers to their first and only Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, Matt Cassel is still a much better quarterback and he is destined to win an NFL championship. I won't even go into a statistical comparison between Humphries and Cassel. However, I will touch on the subject lightly by mentioning the fact that Cassel owns a 66-34 touchdown to interception ratio in contrast to Humphries' 89-84 ratio. Cassel does not turn the ball over which is critical in winning ball games.
Cassel underwent an emergency appendectomy on December 8, 2010. It was unclear at the time whether he would be available for the following game against the San Diego Chargers. The Chiefs ended up starting backup quarterback Brodie Croyle and lost the game 31-0, improving Croyle's streak of nine consecutive losses as a starting quarterback in the NFL. The following week Cassel made his heroic return. And during that game Cassel took hits to his abdomen, his head, and his legs and he still led the Chiefs to a week 15 victory over the St. Louis Rams 27-13, in St. Louis. More importantly, this was a game in which the Rams needed to win in order to secure a spot in the 2010 NFL playoffs, so this was no easy task to complete. I was so impressed with Cassel's performance. You couldn't help but respect his attitude and toughness. He performed graciously at a time when the Chiefs' organization needed him most; at a time when the Chiefs were on the verge of being eliminated from the playoffs. Notwithstanding, the Chiefs were in a heated race to finish the season atop the AFC West division. After all, the organization hasn't won the AFC West in seven years, and furthermore they haven't been to the playoffs in four years. Therefore, the need for Cassel to finish the season as the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs was huge. Cassel's comeback has to go down in NFL history as one of the greatest cases of courage the league has ever seen.
In the end, the Chiefs went on to win the AFC West title in convincing fashion.
The most recent quarterback to have an appendectomy and return one week later was Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers who, as a result of the surgery, missed the opening game of the 2006 season. The surgery was done on September 3, 2006. His return a week later in week 2 resulted in a sub-par performance as he threw two interceptions with no touchdowns in a 9-0 loss to Jacksonville. Both quarterbacks displayed exceptional bravery and heart. Matt Cassel is truly a Trojan man, and not just a USC Trojan. He has proved to me that he can lead, and that he can be a general on the football field.
Matthew Brennan Cassel was born on May 17, 1982 in Northridge, California. He was drafted by the New England Patriots in the 7th round in the 2005 NFL draft. He played college football at the University of Southern California. It has been said that Matt Cassel is the only quarterback in NFL history to start an NFL game at quarterback without ever starting a game at quarterback in college. Unfortunately, Cassel was a backup to Heisman Trophy winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart during his time at USC, thus he never got much playing time. Unbeknownst to many, Carson Palmer was the best man at Matt Cassel's marriage to long-time girlfriend Lauren Killian in February of 2007.
Since Cassel's audition during the New England Patriots 2008-09 season, he has developed into a definite Pro-Bowl candidate. He's only 28 years old, he's not battered and bruised from an active college career, he hasn't suffered any major injuries during his football career, and he is the general of a developing team that he can finally call his own. He's no longer in the shadows of the Palmers, Leinarts, and Bradys of the world. Alas, he has a place to call home. Although this home is not located under a tree on the University of Southern California's campus, nor is it located in the company of the bright and colorful foliage that is so prevalent during the fall seasons of New England. It is located on the humid banks of the Missouri River, eating barbecue, and listening to the sounds of jazz music.
I am contrite for speaking with minimal confidence about Matt Cassel, yet I feel honored to have him as the starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs. Now bring on the New York Jets! Playoffs here we come! CHIEFS WILL !

Well the Northern birds have arrived big time. Tule Lake and the Klamath Basin are all froze which pushed the 1.5 million birds that they were holding there into the valley. All we need now is a some weather and the wind associated with it and it's going to get really good. Shot the No. Grasslands today for limits (10 of us at the club) of mostly teal with a sprig, canvasback, mallard, redhead, and ringneck sprinkled in. Good shoot but it was mostly over by 8am.

Asset tracking… We've all seen it before. Think of the big brown truck that delivers packages across the world or the airlines that transport our baggage; these items can all be tracked using a simple barcode that is scanned at each destination informing us where they started from and where they end up. But what happens when your assets are lost along the way? Or after they arrive, they are moved to another location? What happens when you think your employees are using the company vehicle for personal business? How will you know? As a business owner or manager, you need to know the answers to these questions.
Physical asset tracking is taking on a new meaning with the integration of GPS (Global Positioning System) using barcodes and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags. Not only can you track your assets from destination to destination, you can now track where they are at any given time, in real time, within five seconds. This may not seem like a critical technological matter when first thinking about it, but if you think again, you may realize the value of a GPS asset tracker and how it can help reduce theft and prevent loss, among other crucial concerns.
Consider these few scenarios:
Using graphical mapping, the principle behind any GPS asset tracker is fairly simple. It is a solution that tracks the things that get lost along the way and occasionally disappear after they arrive, taking away from the conventional approach of spreadsheets, pen and paper, or even customized computer programs that make it almost impossible to track, locate and manage your assets. Furthermore, these outdated methods can be altered, lost or destroyed.
Implementing a GPS asset tracker can be relatively inexpensive, although, depending on the size of your business, the initial set up may take some time. Whether you choose a barcode tracking system or an RFID tracking system, the process typically consists of a few basic steps.
The bottom line is: Barcodes and RFID tags integrated with GPS technology can become a long term solution not only to loss prevention but also to organization, customer communication, employee accountability and unwarranted expenses for replacements. Once employed, GPS asset trackers can save you time and money and create a more efficient environment for both your employees and your customers, along with an overall sense of security that your assets are protected.

New challenges to Michigan's new emergency manager law
Organizations are filing legal actions against the state's new emergency manager law.
One of the very vocal groups opposed to the law is the Maurice and Jane Sugar Law Center for Economic and Social Justice.
"At its most basic level, we believe that there's a fundamental right in this country, that if you're going to have a government, that government has to be an elected body and a representative government," said John Philo, the legal director at the Sugar Law Center.
"Under [the emergency manager] law, the emergency management becomes the governing body. It's important to keep in mind that the law doesn't confine their governments to financial matters. The problem with this law is that you're giving full governing power, not just finances [to the emergency manager]. You're putting that one person, who is unelected and unaccountable to the people, in power," he said.
In January, the Michigan Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the law, and allowed Public Act 72 to stay in place until the new version takes effect March 28.
Michigan Radio's Cynthia Canty spoke with Philo about his thoughts on the emergency manager law and what it says about our state government.

Except this. The Boston Red Sox have not won four straight games since early August, 2011. Could this is the beginning of this team pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and playing some ball? Even the pitching was… not scary last night. I'm trying to be a glass-half-full kind of gal this morning, bear with me.
Once again, offense was the story in the Red Sox 10-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox last night, spoiling Philip Humber's chance to pitch a second straight perfect game. *giggles* In the past four games, the Sox have scored 34 runs on 52 hits, and last night, Kevin Youkilis finally made himself heard by going 3 for 4 with a grand slam and 4 RBI leading the team to the win. Did someone tell Kevin that Will Middlebrooks has hit 9 home runs so far this season in Pawtucket? Was that the motivating factor? Whatever it was, it needs to keep happening. We really need Youk to not suck this year.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia also continues to tear it up hitting two four-baggers last night. He ended the night 2 for 4 with three RBI and has managed to raise his average to .261. Remember what Becca said yesterday about last Friday's game? He was hitting under .100 before that game. This makes me happy because I like this kid (maybe it's because his hair is very Boober Fraggle-ish. I loved that show when I was a kid!)
The third inning proved to be the biggest of the night when Ryan Sweeney lead off the inning with yet another double. Dustin Pedroia and Adrian Gonzalez both drew walks, loading up the bases. Youkilis smacked it over the right field fence for the second grand slam of his career. Salty followed up with his first homer of the night.
Felix Doubront got the win last night scattering five hits and three runs over six innings. Junichi Tazawa relieved Doubront and pitched a scoreless 7-8-9 for the save. After some of the bullpen meltdowns we've seen over the last couple of weeks, I find it hard to believe that this same 'pen has a 0.80 ERA over the last four games.
Here's the box, courtesy of the Red Sox. Tonight Daniel Bard (1-2, 4.38) takes the hill against John Danks (2-2, 5.11). Bard might be another one feeling someone breathing down his neck. Pawtucket's Aaron Cook is 3-0 with a 1.33 ERA in his four starts. It's only a matter of time before the Sox start seriously considering moving this kid up. Bard needs to kick it up a notch.
On another note: the Carl Crawford news is not good. He has "been diagnosed with an ulnar collateral ligament sprain in his left elbow and will be shut down from baseball activity, the Red Sox announced Thursday." Word on the street is that he could be out for at least three months. Now is this bad news? Really? It is for the Red Sox front office who gave this guy a ridiculous contract and now seem to be hemorrhaging money every day he's not in the line up. But for fans, it's probably good news with the offense doing just fine without him.

iPad Air Now Shipping 'Within 24 Hours' in U.S., Pushing Delivery Estimates to November 6
Launch day supplies of the iPad Air in the U.S. appear to be dwindling slightly, with new orders of the tablet in all colors and capacities shipping within 24 hours and carrying a delivery estimate of November 6. When the iPad Air launched on November 1 at 12:01 AM Pacific Time, Apple declined to provide a shipping estimate, instead offering a blanket November 4 delivery date for all U.S. orders. Earlier this morning, in-store supplies of the iPad Air of began weakening at some retail locations, and the T-Mobile Space Gray 128 GB Wi-Fi + Cellular iPad Air was the first model to see its shipping time slip to 5 to 10 business days. Other countries around the world have also seen dwindling supplies, with some countries seeing 5-10 day shipping times for certain models. Higher capacity iPads and the Space Gray models appear to be selling out the fastest. Though some stores are seeing less availability of higher end models, in-store supply of the 16 and 32 GB iPad Air remains strong in most areas. Prospective iPad Air buyers in the United States can use Apple-Tracker.com to check on local availability of the iPad Air.

I doubt the supply is "dwindling" -- it more likely just reflects the reality that it's getting later in the day so it's unrealistic to order now and expect to get it on Monday.

I wouldn't believe what you read about delivery times as my two iPhone 5s have both shipped within 7 days of ordering. It was suppose to be 2-3 weeks.

Ordered my 128 T-mobile version this morning. $1K for a freaking tablet! I always believe in buying the best, full featured version of whatever product or service I decide to splurge on. Luckily I can get $200 for my iPad 2 to make it a little more palatable and I won't be getting another iPad for another 4 years. I'm going android for my new phone in a few months though.

It doesn't suprise me to see the T-Mobile 128gb version slip first. Its likely the premium early adopter's first choice.
....or there may not have been that many to begin with. What the hell do I know. |

Glad I just walked into Target and got mine. No line, 5 minute purchase at 8:30am. $479 - 5% red card discount. Haven't had a real chance to play with it yet, though

If only the people buying the t-mobile ipad realized that there really isn't 200mb for free for life, and that it was all a scam unless you're already a t-mobile cellular customer. If not, you'll be paying $10/month to keep your ipad active, so it isn't really free data. T-mobile should be roasted for this awful false advertising.

I share your view, if you are splurging might as well go big; I bought the same ipad, with an Apple case. Luckily I sold my ipad 2 for $300, so the number doesn't look as big |

all of the best buy stores around me are flush with every model
not sure why anyone would drive to an apple store to get this knowing full well they could be sold out of your particular model (especially the cellular versions), unless you had a gift card or something |

Went to Best Buy this morning at 8am
About 7 people there to buy the air; walked in and out with a 16 GB Black. I haven't had too much time with it yet (a lot to do at the house) but initial impressions is WOW. I think I'm no longer even considering an iPad mini with retina. This size is awesome. I don't know how, but with that bezel reduction this IS literally like holding a mini, except with a larger display. It's weird to say but I get what people are talking about; fantastic design Apple. And that A7 isn't messing around either .

Got mine this afternoon at my local Apple store in the UK, they had lots of stock still even though the guys had said they have been selling really well.
I'm loving it. So slim and fast. Amazing. In comparison my iPad "3" looks like a brick.

Doing T-Mobile for the first time. Got the 128 GB model. Part of it was the coverage in my area was better than AT&T and part was the free 200 MB. I just learned from this thread that was just a scam and that it won't apply since I am not their phone customer. I hope the LTE is fast.

so true, I bought the Air 32gb, throw in what I sold my ipad 3 on ebay for, and I only paid half the price for the Air.

I assume that you T-Mobile people have seen the update from their CEO indicating that the $10.00 was an error and that you will definitely be getting the 200mg free.
Also, here in the Alabama area, the models are still staying plentiful at the Apple stores in the area. A couple of versions not available, but it's shocking how many are still available! I think it helps that the resellers had some to sell too. I got mine at a Verizon store ($100 off with a 2 year contract for the data line). Very impressed with the device so far. Has anyone noticed that the sound seems to have been upgraded? I was playing a game and was impressed by how good the music was sounding. Maybe it is just me? |

Was going to wait for the mini with retina display. Then read several early reviews, which all expounded on the Air's amazing light feel and size. Many of the reviewers were changing their mind about preferring the mini.
So went to Apple store, played with the mini and air. Once i picked up the air, it was a no brainer. Apple really hit the nail head on this product. The larger screen with the sleek design and low weight sold me. Got the black/silver 128 mb WiFi Air. Just like my 5s iPhone the A7 chip and iso7 software are blazing fast Real world home runs. It feels almost magical how responsive every action is. No lag what so ever. I chose WiFi model as i don't need another data bill. I have the phone for travel internet use. Can download movies, shows, videos to view away from WiFi. Will use the iPad Air as main web surf tool at home. This is thinner then what Captain Pickard used on the Enterprise! |

Home > Orthopaedic & Spine Institute > Joints and Joint Replacement > Knee Replacement and Repair > Mini-Total Knee Replacement
More than 300,000 knee joint replacements are performed in the United States every year. While the procedure is highly successful in straightening misaligned joints, eliminating arthritic pain, and restoring range of motion, recovery and rehabilitation used to be a months-long process.
Surgeons at the Orthopaedic & Spine Institute are performing innovative mini-total knee replacements that significantly reduce recovery time. Conventional knee replacement requires an 8- to 11-inch incision, while mini-total knee surgery focuses on a quadricep-sparing technique that calls for an incision of 5 inches or less.
Special mini-instruments and techniques enable surgeons to implant the artificial knee components without making a long incision in the quadriceps muscle or dislocating the knee cap. The result is less discomfort during recovery, faster return to normal activities (than conventional knee replacement), and long-term pain relief for the majority of patients.
Our surgeons have achieved excellent outcomes in mini-total knee replacements. These procedures are helping residents of the Delaware Valley and beyond live life to the fullest and return to the activities – including sports – they love.
Call 215-481-BONE to find an Orthopaedic & Spine Institute surgeon today.

MUMBAI: The civic corporation has finally given citizens and activists something to cheer about.
It has salvaged four open plots in Juhu just three days before their reservation was set to lapse on January 18.
MUMBAI: The civic corporation has finally given citizens and activists something to cheer about.
It has salvaged four open plots in Juhu just three days before their reservation was set to lapse on January 18.
A notification under the Land Acquisition (LA) Act, to acquire four open plots, was issued by the suburban collector on Thursday, just days before the deadline was to lapse. The plots stretch over an area of 29,500 sq metres and are worth about Rs 100 crore, said officials.
The four plots, reserved in the city's development plan (DP) as a playground, international library, municipal market and garden, were acquired under section 6 of the LA Act.
A proposal was earlier moved by the BMC house, which had unanimously agreed to loosen its purse strings and buy the plots.
In normal course, the acquisition would have taken many months to be finalized. "However the new civic commissioner took personal interest in the matter. He made sure the deal was sealed in time to save the green lungs," said an official from the DP department.
The four plots were up for grabs, after the JVPD Cooperative Housing Association served the corporation "purchase" notices in May 2010. The association asked them to take back 7 plots reserved for public amenities at less than Rs 250 crore, their actual market cost.Of the seven, the BMC purchased, a plot spread over 7,441 sq m reserved for a recreation ground on December 1.
Purchase notices for two other plots, one reserved for a playground and another for a library, were rejected after the BMC found its name on the property cards of the plots. "By acquiring the last four plots, we have shown citizens that the civic corporation cares about green causes," said a civic official.
Under Section 127 of MRTP Act, citizens and housing societies can claim ownership of a plot, if it is not acquired by the state within 10 years of the DP's inception. The owner gets the right to stake his claim and if the state fails to acquire it in less than a year, the land is deemed available to the entity.
The Juhu Vile Parle Development (JVPD) Scheme was planned on a 430-acre land, after a deal was signed by 14 housing societies and the Housing Board in 1960.
While one side of the Irla nullah was developed by the housing societies, the other section has remained with the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada).
The Housing Board had marked out land for buildings, construction of public amenities and also for roads. But the housing societies violated the resolution.

Erika Sawajiri splits from husband
Written by: Megumi on April 29, 2010 at 2:43 am | In Erotic Japan Blog | Discuss (2) »Anyway even remotely interested in Japanese geinoujin or models can't have failed to see the big news this week: Erika Sawajiri has told her much-older husband that she wants a divorce. By email.
Yes, apparently Tsuyoshi Takashiro is completely stumped as to why his beautiful wife has suddenly had a change of heart. He heard it first by email and since then has been getting updates through her website announcements and the press.
We blogged here about Erika's comeback a few weeks ago. Half-French Erika had legions of fans until her pride got the better of her, most infamously at a press conference for the film Closed Note where she only responded "Betsu ni" (別に, "not much") to questions.
Erika (24) married "media creator" (="not real job but earns lots of money") Tsuyoshi Takashiro (45), despite the massive age difference, to the delight of the media, the outcry of her male fans — and the subsequent collapse of her career. Now she's back in the biz and you would thing was looking to avoid scandal. Aparrently not!
There's a part of me that simply suspects the whole thing is a publicity scam, though Erika has been making some public appearances since the news broke — and notably sans wedding ring. Her hubbie, on the other hand, has been telling news programs that he has no idea what is going on and she is not returning his calls.
Perhaps Erika met another man? Anyway, I knew it wouldn't last…

Listed in: Xbox 360, PS3, PC Gaming Tags: Radical Entertainment, Sierra Entertainment
This upcoming title is sporting some pretty awesome graphics if the recent batch of screenshots are to be believed.
The new Prototype screenshots are filled with lots of explosions and fight scenes that will undoubtedly appeal to more action-oriented gamers. After all, how many video games (not featuring the Incredible Hulk) can boast of a scene where the main hero bats a tank away with one of his arms?
We're not going to keep you any longer since you probably want to check out the screenshots for yourself. By the way, if you're planning on picking up this game, it's expected to be out by Summer 2008.

The organization says the agreement could lead to the banning of Jews and others holding Israeli passports from boarding Delta flights to certain destinations, such as Jeddah.
Former Congressman Fred Gandy and his wife Catherine have also gotten involved in the issue through appearances on the Jeff Katz radio program. Catherine Gandy calls the move, and other like it, "Creeping Shariah," or Islamic law.
The online publication World Net Daily reports that Washington attorney Jeffery Lovitky wrote to Delta CEO Richard Anderson concerning the issue, which he came across while making travel plans. He received a response from Delta's "Customer Care" division, which told the lawyer that Delta "must comply with all applicable laws in every country it serves," and places the burden of obtaining proper travel documents on the passenger. Customer service representative Kathy Johnston said in the letter she wrote to Lovitky that Delta could be fined and passengers could be denied entry without that documentation, and that Delta "assumes responsibility" for assuring that all passengers have the proper papers. She recommends that Lovitky take up the matter with the state department.
Lovitky contends that Delta may not discriminate on U.S. soil based on religious preference. He said the government is already looking into how it should address the Saudi government's policy of not issuing visas for Israeli passport holders, Jews, or "those who can't abide by the Saudi traditions concerning appearance and behaviours."
In a second letter to Lovitky, Delta said it considered the matter closed, and would not be responding to the matter again. It hopes to have Saudi Arabian Airlines as a Skyteam member by next year.
