The Tory MP Frederick Edwin Smith, best mate of Winston Churchill, and well-known for his use of sarcasm, once said of an oponent: "The arguments he produces in his election addres will win no more votes than his photograph on the front cover." Thankfully, the electability of our politicians doesn't revolve around how good-looking they are. But, as elsewhere in life, when a particularly photogenic figurehead emerges they stand out from the crowd. Our cover star Chuka Umunna is a very dapper man who knows how to wear a well-cut suit. As our coverline asks, has he got the substance to go with the style? Our interview on p50 reveals that he is meeting with Tony Blair, the master at understanding the power of style in politics. Despite Blair's rather mixed reputation among the modern Parliamentary Labour Party, Umunna is completely unapologetic about his discussions with the former PM. Interestingly, Umunna cites Michael Heseltine as another influence. Umunna appears to be triangulating as he settles into his shadow business brief, by talking to the chief of New Labour and one of the Conservatives' 'big beasts'. He obviously draws comfort and inspiration from these two mentors, as he develops the balance between Ed Miliband's predator-producer argument while fighting against any efforts to dismiss Labour as anti-business. Talking to a shadow minister recently about the PLP, he told me: "The political gravity of the Labour Party is entirely centred around the 2010 intake." Labour young guns like Umunna are developing as politicians as fast as they can. Just as the 2001 and 2005 Conservative intakes are wondering if they will ever be noticed, so are the older guard in Labour as Ed Miliband's attention focuses on his newer cohort. Dan Hodges explores this in his column on p16. As we reach the second half of this coalition government's term in power, Umunna has a golden opportunity to build substantial business policies for Labour. It's clear the ambition is there. Now we'll see if he can match it with ability.

A transport legacy Congratulations on a fascinating interview with Justine Greening (TP, April). It certainly highlighted her thinking on many of the topical transport issues, such as motorway speed and the Olympics. Her reaffirmation of the commitment to press ahead with rail investment and reforms will be welcome to all of us who wish rail to be as successful in the next decade as it has been in the last. Moreover, I detected a realisation that the UK needed a long-term solution to aviation capacity, which would be economically and environmentally viable as well as future-proofed.
However, the most reassuring remark was that Greening claimed "that the Department for Transport is slap bang in the middle of what the government is trying to do in getting the economy back on its feet". In the past, transport watchers will testify that potential for DfT to drive economic and social objectives was underrecognised. If DfT under Greening can be seen as one of the leads on economic policy, then that will be a ministerial legacy worth having. Stephen Hammond MP Joint chair, APPG on rail Greening's challenge Justine Greening (TP, April) obviously spins optimism in regard to the future of the rail network. She is, of course, concentrating on the south, and that is understandable. However, the grim reality is that there is a lot of customer dissatisfaction up north with regard to the above-inflation rise in the cost of rail tickets and the persistent overcrowding on trains. My experience pertains to the Manchester to Lancaster service that is bound for Glasgow at the weekend, but I would guess that many other services have the same issue. Overcrowding on trains on a weekly basis smacks of poor customer service and planning. To add insult to injury, rail users are being forced to pay more for their rail travel without any signs of improvements to services.
I would like to challenge Justine Greening and Norman Baker to gain a true insight into the problems that are afflicting the rail service. I would like them to join me on a journey between Manchester and Lancaster at peak time and for them to see the disorganisation, lack of seating and the health and safety issues. The solution – investing in more carriages – is common sense but that is currently lacking from the higher echelons of the rail network. Cllr David Whitaker Labour, Lancaster City Council Old New Labour After Andy Burnham spent a year swinging wildly at Michael Gove but with only occasional contact, Stephen Twigg's arrival as shadow education secretary brought a much more conciliatory approach, at least to the government. Stephen's provocations seem entirely aimed at the leftist educational establishment, rather than the Tories. In his interview (TP, April), he says he wants greater involvement of private business with and in schools and doesn't think it has to be the state that directly provides. Much more Tony Blair than Red Ed.
He is focused on raising standards not playing tribal politics, which is smart politics. By treating free schools on their individual merits he allows Labour to embrace them and woo their parents' votes. Distance from the teaching unions gives him freedom of manoeuvre depending on how Gove's reforms work out. If there's room for a Blairite in Miliband's Labour, then Twigg is one to watch. Graham Stuart MP Chair of the education select committee
An English identity Responding to Sadiq Khan's excellent article on Britishness,Englishnessand Identity (TP, April), it is important to ask why English identity has risen. We all carry identities and loyalties to communities, ethnicities, teams, the nation, or communities around the world. But it is only at certain times that we find one identity a powerful way of describing ourselves and our collective interests.
National identities usually strengthen when people feel hard done by. Today's English identity reflects a growing sense that English people lack a real voice on the things that matter to them, as the IPPR report that Sadiq refers to shows clearly. Worse, they feel they are losing out and being treated less fairly than others.
English Labour needs to respond to this perception – justified or not – by bringing an English dimension to our cultural, economic, political and democratic policies. We should also acknowledge our own English identity, starting by letting candidates stand as English Labour alongside our colleagues who stand as Welsh and Scottish Labour. John Denham MP Labour MP for Southampton Itchen
In praise of free schools Free schools are all about parents and groups wanting to establish new schools to meet parental demand to improve choice and quality. The work behind setting one up and the motivation to do so is proof of the appetite for them in certain areas, particularly with failing schools.
Good governance is part of the story of free schools as it must become so for all schools. The role and selection of school governors is now on the agenda as accountability issues come into sharper focus because of increasing school autonomy. This has been underlined by recent comments by Sir Michael Wilshaw, chief inspector of Ofsted. Free schools are here to stay, proving the value of strong leadership and effective governance in delivering high quality outcomes for pupils. They will be a reminder of the value of challenging assumptions. Neil Carmichael MP Education select committee member and chair of the APPG for education leadership and government
The pick of ONLINE comments from TotalPolitics.com u Amber Elliott's MPsTryTo Overturn 'GodCanHeal'AdBan provoked a very lively debate online. N S said: "If people want to believe in the power of prayer then that is their right to do so. We are supposedly an intelligent nation that can make informed decisions for ourselves, so when presented with the idea that prayer can heal, surely we should be able to make our own informed choices on whether we personally want to belief it." Duncan Moore commented: "What a shame to see Tim Farron's name in there. He'd always seemed like a reasonable person but evidently I was mistaken. In any case, there are papers that definitively show prayer is no more effective than placebo. These MPs have done nothing more than make fools of themselves."
u Commenting on Martin Shapland's blog ADireWeekForThe Conservatives AndADisasterForLabour, Anna Chen wrote: "Yup, that just about sums it up. I was going to write a summary but yours has done the job very well. The only thing that I'm uncomfortable with is capitulating to the use of the term 'narrative'. When did that come in? Which wonk did the Robert McKee story course?"
u Jonathan Clarke took issue with Gavin Devine's blog Cameron's IsALobbyingScandal WithoutLobbyists. He said: "I'm not quite clear why you focus so much on professional lobbyists (making the argument that they weren't the cause of this particular humiliation of our political process) when they aren't relevant to the story, as you say. Then I note your role at the bottom of the article..."
u Dr Bridget Price agreed with Sheila Gilmore MP's article HowCanWeFairlyAssessPeople's Capability ForWork? She said: "I have written to ATOS and to the DWP and detailed some of the reasons why the tests are not appropriate and how they might change them. My emails have just been totally ignored. It seems they have no wish to do the job properly."
u John Scott disagreed with on Dylan Sharpe's blog Adversarial Politics Is Exactly WhatWeNeed. He said: "I moan about the way MPs act. And I read the manifestos of all the parties standing in my constituency at every election. It's the responsible thing to do. So either I'm a politico (as I dislike politics and politicians, I doubt it) or at least one person doesn't fit the argument here. "While we're complaining – could politicians trying to talk about policy do so in an intelligent way, rather than preaching disaster and standing outside Greggs? I am still waiting for someone, anyone, to explain why taxing pasties in the way other hot foods are taxed is a bad thing, which seems to be the level of debate which politicians think the public understand." ■

Breast-feeding tips: What new moms need to know
Breast-feeding can be challenging. Consider breast-feeding tips for new moms, from asking for help right away to letting baby set the pace.
By Mayo Clinic staffYou know the benefits of breast-feeding. Breast milk contains the right balance of nutrients for your baby. Breast milk is easier to digest than is commercial formula, and the antibodies in breast milk boost your baby's immune system. Breast-feeding might even help you lose weight after the baby is born. Still, breast-feeding can be challenging. Use these breast-feeding tips to get off to a good start.
Ask for help right away
Reading about breast-feeding is one thing. Doing it on your own is something else. The first time you breast-feed your baby — preferably within the first hour after delivery — ask for help. The maternity nurses or a hospital lactation consultant can offer breast-feeding tips, starting with how to position the baby and make sure he or she is latching on correctly. Your doctor or your baby's doctor might offer breast-feeding tips, too.
Start by getting comfortable. Support yourself with pillows if needed. Then cradle your baby close to your breast — rather than bending over or learning forward to bring your breast to your baby. Support the baby's head with one hand and support your breast with the other hand. Tickle your baby's lower lip with your nipple. Encourage your baby's mouth to open wide, and he or she will take in part of the darker area around the nipple (areola). Your nipple will be far back in the baby's mouth, and the baby's tongue will be cupped under your breast. Look and listen for a rhythmic sucking and swallowing pattern.
If you need to remove the baby from your breast, first release the suction by inserting your finger into the corner of your baby's mouth.
Let your baby set the pace
For the first few weeks, most newborns breast-feed every two to three hours round-the-clock. Watch for early signs of hunger, such as stirring, restlessness, sucking motions and lip movements.
Let your baby nurse from the first breast thoroughly, until your breast feels soft — typically about 20 minutes. Then try burping the baby. After that, offer the second breast. If your baby's still hungry, he or she will latch on. If not, simply start the next breast-feeding session with the second breast. If your baby consistently nurses on only one breast at a feeding during the first few weeks, pump the other breast to relieve pressure and protect your milk supply.
Hold off on a pacifier
Some babies are happiest when they're sucking on something. Enter pacifiers — but there's a caveat. Giving your baby a pacifier too soon might interfere with breast-feeding, since sucking on a breast is different from sucking on a pacifier. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends waiting to introduce a pacifier until breast-feeding is well established, usually three to four weeks after birth. Avoiding pacifiers shortly after birth can help protect your milk supply as well as promote healthy weight gain for your baby.

Hi all,
I just downloaded the new EditVoicePack 3.0 - many thanks to Lars by the way. But I still seem to have the same problem as I did with EVP in FS2002 it simply doesn't seem to be able to say "Swiss". I know EVP works, since the FS ATC now says Southwest for example. I configured all aircraft.cfg rightly: the identifier in EVP is "SWISS", the atc_airline in the aircraft.cfg is "SWISS". Same with "BRITISH". I wanted to change the British Airways Planes from "SPEED BIRD" to "BRITISH". That doesn't work either.
What do I do wrong? I don't know if there are any other airlines that don't work, I just tested those three. PLEASE help!
EDIT: --I posted that in the EditVoicePack forum too--

Re: Couple News/Sightings: Dom & Evi
The National Enquierer has a story this week saying that Dom is still in love with Evi and he can't get over her. Here is the story via Celebitchy.com
This week's National Enquirer claims that Monaghan is still pining for his "lost" love, Evangeline Lilly. They use his quote that it was "work" to film that video with Megan Fox as evidence that he's still hung up on Evangeline. Dominic said "It's work. You have to understand that cameras are being pointed at you and they're in your face and people are telling you to move this way or move that way. It's not terrible work, but it is work." The Enquirer quotes a source who says that Dominic "still can't get Evangeline out of his head" and that "he is devastated and not even kissing Megan Fox can overcome that feeling."
I was trying to remember when these two broke up, and reviewing our past stories they split for the first time way back in November, 2007 when Monaghan's character was killed off Lost, but then got back together by February, 2008 and were said to be engaged last summer. We didn't cover their breakup after that point, and I'm having trouble Googling it so maybe they kept it quiet. We then heard earlier this year that Evangeline was dating a production assistant.
I hope it's not true that Dom is still hung up on Evangeline. It would make sense since they were together for so long, but there must be plenty of women he can console himself with. I'm sure that there are all sorts of interesting lovelies who would like to break off a piece of Dom's luminous being.

Welcome to my Tumblr! This page is dedicated to the After Alice book series which begins with "The Clock Strikes Black". "The Clock Strikes Black" is a novel that has yet to be published (I'm still trying to gain followers interested in purchasing it) and focuses on Wonderland after Alice grows up.
We follow the Mad Hatter, who is driven even further insane with Alice's disappearance and slowly slips into madness as Wonderland around him falls into ruin.
The novel follows the main character, Emeline De Vane, after she is kidnapped by the Mad Hatter, who has mistaken her for Alice. We follow her through a destructive Wonderland as she tries to find her way home, meeting many of the familiar 'Alice' characters along the way.
I hope to find many more people interested in my novel series, welcome the newcomers, and thank those who are still following me! Thank you!

If you are in the roofing business as an independent contractor, then you already know that you have a lot you have to take care of that would not be an issue if you worked for someone else. This is part of the fun, however, of being an independent contractor. Instead of having to work for someone else, follow their orders, and do work the way they think it should be done, you as a contractor have the ability to make your business grow your way. You choose how the work gets done and how you're going to do it. One negative side, however, is that when you are an independent contractor, you don't always have the financial safety net for when things go wrong. This is why roofing contractor insurance is so important.
There are many professionals who will turn their heads to the idea of roofing contractor insurance. They think that this kind of insurance is a scam. They might believe that it's just another way for insurance executives to make a quick buck off working people. This is a misconception about insurance. The truth of the matter is that if you find the right kind of insurance plan, you will have no problems getting payments for issues such as damaged equipment, liability, damaged vehicles, and personal injury. You really can have peace of mind without having to work for someone else.
When it comes to finding the best roofing contractor insurance, you are going to have to go online. For many people, this is the last thing they want to hear. They don't want to know that they will have to put their information on a website, but you can rest assured that a legitimate website will keep your personal and business information secure and confidential. You will also enjoy the convenience of being able to shop for insurance without even having to leave your house and spend hours in an agent's office.
The truth is that online roofing contractor insurance is the only way to get the most competitive rates. When you go to a conventional agent or broker, you are only looking at plans offered by the few insurance carriers that agent works with. In the online world, you can look at hundreds of free quotes with just a few clicks of the button. This will allow you to narrow down your choices in any way you see fit. You will have complete control over the insurance you choose.

The fresh summer early evening air and a warm round of applause from the thousands seated on the lawn welcomed the four piece jazz combo. Piano, stand up bass, drum kit and alto sax struck the first chord setting the stage for a melody familiar to fans of Gregory Porter's newest album "Be Good". The chord changes of the lead track "Painted on Canvas" cleared room in the festival for the richest of voices to begin its night.
Porter bounded up the stairs, tripping a bit on the top step before reaching center stage. It would be his only trip up of the night. His rich melodic voice instantly blended with the groove set by his instrumentalists. He followed the melody made familiar on the recording, but in the spirit of the festival found tasty new directions to take it. "We are like children, painted on canvas, picking up shades as we go...".
This artist has the size of a man who played college football. His voice can be just as big, but only when his command allows it to elevate. The dynamic build up in "... Canvas" begins with a warmth that puts a smile on your face. As he the sound of the group and Porter's vibrato swells "Can I get some green with some blues??" it's enough to deliver a chill to the listener. Then sharply the softness returns.
Gregory Porter was born an L.A. guy who loved to listen to Nat King Cole. He had early exposure to the recording sessions of some jazz greats. He picked up a Tony nomination on Broadway. Yet, now he is two albums deep into a song writing soloist career that is winning rich praise.
On stage he has presence. His quirky sense of fashion and long arms make him a memorable sight. His tender personality was apparent backstage. But, when he feels that music coming from his toes he can't help but move, bend and bounce. Sharp claps accent the off beat and add a percussive stamp of approval of his bandmates on stage.
Take a moment to search Gregory Porter on your Storify account. And then imagine it live, in person on a sunny summer's evening. A great performance in the flesh should always be better than the record. And it sure was tonight.

The term web development covers a lot of ground. The best way to define it is that it is a field that deals with the creation and setting up of a website for the internet or an intranet. To give you a basic idea of how broad web development is, here are just some of the things that are contained within it:
- Web Design- This field in itself is very broad but it can be used to refer to the creation of graphic designs, lay out of images and creation of content intended for a website. It also involved some coding so that certain customized web features could work on a website.
- Web Content Development- This refers to the creation of specifically created content for a website. The content could be anything from written articles, to videos and even audio files.
- Client Liaison- This refers to providing the needs of the customer when it comes to their site.
- Network Security Configuration- This is the side of the job that refers to ensuring the security of the site against hackers and other security problems.
- Electronic Commerce- This is the side of web development that deals with the configuring of a site so that it can be used for commercial transaction.
- SEO- This stands for search engine optimization and this is the practice of promoting a site by taking advantage of how search engines work.
These are just a few of the aspects of web development, but some professionals in the field would argue that it only deals with the coding side.
Courses for Web Development- If you are thinking of taking up a course in web development then you are on the right track. This kind of skill is very much in demand right now and with the way that the internet is expanding it is bound to become even more in demand in the days to come. In fact it is bound to become even more relevant in the future with the way that most businesses are shifting towards becoming online these days.
There are plenty of technical schools offering this sort of courses. You should check the nearest one in your place or you could go online to check. There is a new alternative now and that is to study web development online. You do not have to leave the comfort of your home, because you can do all of your studying through the Web.

Monte Carpegna
Footage of the 1973 Giro d'Italia from Jørgen Leth's wonderful documentary Stars and Watercarriers. Monte Carpegna, with a 22% max grade, was Marco Pantani's favourite training climb. "It's on Carpegna that I've prepared for all my victories – Carpegna is all I need". The climb also features on day three of Rapha's Randonnée Appennini.

Access a wide variety of apps available for download. Whether you want to see the latest news, updates to your social network, check the local weather or read e-books, it's as simple as selecting an app and you're ready to go in seconds. The built-in WiFi allows you to do everything you can do on a PC at home, but on the go. Surf the web like never before. Zoom in and out of web pages, check and manage multiple e-mails at any time or even view streaming video wherever you are. The large 8GB internal storage gives you plenty of room for your apps and documents, if you need more storage space the Prestige 7 is equipped with a MicroSD card slot that supports up to a 32GB card. A built-in, front facing camera allows you to do video calls on the go. The Prestige supports multiple codecs giving you full HD video which you can even output to your TV.
Primary Usage
- E-book/Comic Book Reading
- Addictive Games (GLWG, Fruit Ninja, Heaven & Hell, etc.)
- Skype/Video Calling
- Portable HD Video Player / YouTube
- Android 4.0
- Slim, Portable Size
- HDMI Out
- 8GB Storage
- Multiple Colors
- Decent Battery Life
- No Google Play
- No Bluetooth
This is the first tablet I've seen available with Android 4.0. I saw a couple others saying they did but reading that tricky fine print, it's a future upgrade. Ice Cream Sandwich is on this baby right out of the box. I missed the Honeycomb (3.0) band-wagon, but have read it's similar. The previous tablet and my phone were both Gingerbread (2.3), so this is definitely like a shiny new toy for me. I like being able to multi-task between programs. I like how 4.0 works much like a regular PC OS.
This tablet's much sleeker than their previous one, looking like it went through a 12-step weight loss program. It's super thin…probably the thinnest tablet out there. My boyfriend can actually fit it in his front pocket. I'm actually surprised how much they were able to cram into this thing with how thin it is. They have the usual headphone, mini USB and DC ports, a MicroSD card slot and a built-in mic. Like their previous tablet, they have a mini HDMI out port, but sadly, still no Bluetooth. There's a front camera and the speaker is in the back. The housing is plastic but it's got a very nice look and feel to it. And it comes in a variety colors (I have the purple one).
There's no Google Play (Market), but then again, Google seems to reject anybody in this price range from joining their "club". GetJar is pre-installed and I installed Amazon Appstore and 1Mobile which are working perfectly.
This tablet is the perfect size for reading ebooks and comics. It sits in my hand comfortably, like a small hardcover. Kindle, Comixology and MangaZoo run smoothly. The capacitive screen on this responds well to touch. Very responsive without being too sensitive. Even worked perfectly well with the factory protector still on. Colors look crisp and clear when watching HD videos. The multi-touch works well too, as I've been playing Fruit Ninja with no issues at all in responsiveness to pretty much noobing it, dragging my whole hand across the screen.
Speaking of games, I've got quite a few on here already and almost all of them run smoothly. The single core processor is pretty powerful and the 512MB of RAM definitely help make this thing speedy. There seems to be a small issue of the accelerometer working properly with some racing games but I have a feeling it might be a 4.0 issue and not a tablet issue as that doesn't seem to be an issue outside of games. I got caught up in saving the world in GLWG for about 4 hours, so the battery life is definitely impressive.
As I mentioned earlier HD videos play great, and look great. The MicroSD slot supports at least 32GB cards (hoping to get a 64GB one soon), which I've got loaded up with videos. YouTube and TED videos playback perfectly. Netflix has a bit of a problem with picture and sound syncing, but reading feedback, sounds like an app problem they're working on fixing. I love having the HDMI out port, as I often snatch videos from YouTube to watch later on my TV. Also great for turning a TV into a monitor especially when you hook up a wireless mouse/keyboard (yup it's supported) through the USB port (they even provide the OTG cable…so thoughtful of them) and voila…instant PC.
I love using a tablet for Skype, as it's small enough to be as convenient as carrying a cell phone versus a laptop that you have to hold upright and usually with 2 hands if you're walking around while chatting it up. The camera is pretty decent, even in low light conditions. And the mic picks up sound very well. Right now there's an issue with Skype and 4.0 so I've been using Fring which works just as well.
For those who are tech savvy, this tablet is rooted. And there are already people out there making their own scripts and mods to fix those little issues and tweak better performance for tablets with the same chipset as this one. I've tried a couple (turned off the mobile network signal for better battery life, unlocked Google Play, etc.) and they work great.
For a sub $200 tablet, this is one to keep an eye on. As the first I've seen with Android 4.0 and it's super thin design, it's absolutely a worthy entry to the tablet market.
UPDATED (now that I have a Kindle Fire)———————————————-
I've had the Prestige 7 for about a month now and finally got a Kindle Fire about 2 weeks ago (when they dropped it to $139 for a special deal). You can't really compare the Prestige 7 to an iPad or an ASUS Transformer or such…they're different beasts…just like you can't compare a peach to a plum. There's a reason you pay $300 more for those, whether it's a quad core CPU or paying for a brand name stamped on the back. The Kindle Fire isn't exactly the same as the Prestige 7 either…it's kinda like a peach to an apricot. The CPU comparisson changes the game. But they're similar in size and in the same price range so I guess it's pretty natural to size up the 2 against each other. So let's look at how they stand side-by-side.
Kindle Fire: 7.5″ x 4.7″ x 0.45″ 14.6 oz.
Prestige 7: 7.5″ x 4.7″ x 0.4″ 10.5 oz.
Kindle Fire: 7″ Capacitive Multi-Touch (1024×600)
Prestige 7: 7″ Capacitive Multi-Touch (800×480)
Kindle Fire: OMAP Dual Core ARM A9 + 512MB RAM
Prestige 7: Cortex-A8 Single Core + 512MB RAM
Kindle Fire: 8GB + no expandable card slot
Prestige 7: 8GB + MicroSDHC card slot
Kindle Fire: about 8 hours continuous reading; 4 hours to charge
Prestige 7: about 6-8 hours continuous reading; 2 hours to charge
Kindle Fire: USB (micro; charge/connect to computer)
Prestige 7: USB (mini; OTG + charge/connect to computer), DC Power, Mini HDMI (1080p output)
Wireless Connectivity
Kindle Fire: WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Prestige 7: WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, supports 3G dongle
Kindle Fire: 3.5mm stereo audio, dual speakers on side
Prestige 7: 3.5mm stereo audio, speaker on back
Content Formats Supported
Kindle Fire: Kindle (AZW), TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, PRC natively, Audible (Audible Enhanced (AA, AAX)), DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, non-DRM AAC, MP3, MIDI, OGG, WAV, MP4, VP8
Prestige 7: MP3, WMA, OGG, AAC, M4A, FLAC, APE, 3GP, WAV, AVI, MKV, WMV, MOV, MP4, MPG, FLV, JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PDF, TXT, AZW (Kindle app can be installed), Audible (Audible app can be installed)
Included in the Box
Kindle Fire: Kindle Fire Device, Power Adapter, Quick Start Guide
Prestige 7: Prestige 7 Tablet, Power Adapter, OTG Cable, USB Cable, Headphones, User Manual
The main reason I went with the Prestige 7 (P7) first is the exact reason I'd still rate it higher than the Kindle Fire (KF) now that I have one as well. The problem I have with the KF is it's pretty out of the box, but once you start using it, it's not as flexible as a more "vanilla" Android tablet. The KF has it's own special set up that I personally don't care for. And it's a bit of work (that I'd rather not go through) to skin it down to the natural Android OS.
The KF has an awesome screen. I'm not gonna lie, there's a huge difference when the 2 sit side by side. And this makes a big difference when reading e-books over long periods of time. The technology used on the KF's screen is different and I'm sure that's where the added cost partially comes from. However, when playing videos, the P7 wins out. At least as far as I can tell, as one of the main problems I have with the KF is that many of my videos I've downloaded/created cannot play on the KF…at least without conversion which is sometimes a painful process. And even then I don't have the 1080p HD quality of the original. Touch-wise, they're about equal. The responsiveness and fluidity are very similar.
The other thing the KF has going for it is a dual core processor. Websites load quicker and switch between apps is smoother. But that's not enough for me to justify an extra $50. I can be patient enough for 5-10 seconds longer waiting for a website to load.
Beyond those 2 things, the P7 has the KF beat as far as I'm concerned. Both have 8GB of internal memory but the P7 has a MicroSDHC slot so I've got 32GB more to play with. Additionally the USB port on the P7 allows for flash drives. So it's very easy to get content on my P7. For my KF I need to either stream or download from my cloud drive if I need anything outside of the internal 8GB worth of goodies I store there.
Speaking of content, one of the top reasons I want to own a tablet is to take videos with me. As I mentioned earlier, the KF doesn't take most raw video formats as is. Conversion is typically necessary and it can be a painful process of trial and error depending on the original file. On the other hand, I've yet to need to convert anything on my P7…everything I've thrown at it has played without problems.
The second big reason I wanted a tablet is for an e-reader. The KF was, of course, built specifically for that reason, but as the P7 can use the Kindle app, as well as Comixology, Mangazoo, and other readers, there's not a big plus as far as the KF is concerned. As I said before, the screen was made for long hours of reading and is great for reading indoors or out. That's where it has the upperhand against the P7.
Neither tablet has Google Play, which boggles me when I see reviewers complain about the P7 not having it and therefore are returning it then ending by saying they'll get a KF instead. Both handle the Amazon Appstore fine and I also use 1Mobile for my P7 as well. I've yet to try other appstores on my KF as Amazon's Appstore just works so naturally and easily on the KF.
I could get into more detail and comparissons between the two but overall I love both tablets. However the Prestige 7 just has that edge, making me glad I bought it. It's much more versatile and being $50 cheaper (at least when I bought it), worth the difference.
The Prestige 7 weighs in at 298g (10.5oz), 19cm x 12cm x 1cm (7.5′ x 4.7′ x 0.4′). It has a 7 inch, 800×480 screen (16:9 widescreen ratio), with 5 point capacitive mutli-touch.
The tablet has 8GB of on-board storage, and is expandable through a microSD slot (will support up to 32GB). An A8 1.2GHz processor, 512 MB RAM.
It has the usual array of power button and volume rocker, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack, Mini USB (through which you can charge when connected to a computer, send data from your computer, or with the provided cable add a USB peripheral such as a flash drive), HDMI out port (you will need an HDMI C type cable), and the port for your wall charger. A speaker on the back, and a 1.3Mp front facing camera (no back camera) finish off the tablet nicely.
This little tablet runs Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, and it is `vanilla'. (No pun intended, but that is the term for an unmodified Operating System) As such, its software really does not set it apart. It does not have access to the Google market (play store), Perhaps in the future, that can be changed, but for the present, Amazon, GetJar, and other alternatives will have to do.
There are, at present a few hiccups with Skype. Though the camera will produce Video Over Internet, because of some miscommunication between the camera and Skype, on the other end, it has pink and green lines running through the picture. This is an issue which should be resolved in the next version of Skype, or so I am told.
Apart from this, all of the apps that I tried worked flawlessly.
This tablet is surprising in it power. Having tested out a number of 7 inch tablets I have always felt like there was a noticeable decrease in performance from their 10 inch counterparts. The Prestige 7 seems to plug along rather quickly despite its small stature.
The Average Benchmark scores for the Prestige 7 are:
Quadrant- 1820
Antutu- 3150
You can use these numbers to compare the Prestige 7 to other devices, and see just what I mean.
Battery Life
Two Edged Swords, that is the lesson here in tablet batteries. Visual Land opted for a battery size that allowed for quick charging, as well as charging through not only the DC jack, but also the MicroUSB port. That kind of decision sits well with me, because if I can just carry around a MicroUSB cable and not worry about lugging an extra cord, all the better. Don't misunderstand though, the wall charger for the Prestige 7 is quite small and light.
You can expect to charge the battery from naught to full in about an hour! A bit more slowly if you leave the WiFi on when you are charging.
Here are the exact figures (all are given in percent change per hour):
Standby -1.5%
Netflix -45%
YouTube -32%
Browsing -20%
Charge (WiFi on) +51%
Charge (WiFi off) +82%
To be frank, the Battery life is not at all what I expected. From our tests, you can go from full to empty in nearly two hours. This is unfortunate, however I have heard that other reviewers have been getting much closer to the 8 hours advertised. So it is possible, as always that my results in this regard are not typical.
The Wind Up
Here is the final score. On the Forel-Ule scale, I would give this tablet a 17. It gets great marks in almost everything; it can hold its own in both size and form, but the battery life leaves something to be desired. All in all, it is a very affordable 4.0 tablet, with character in its design that sets it apart from the usual crowd. If you are looking for a compact and light tablet on a budget, this should be near the top of your list.

-No Google Play
-Screen resolution
-MicroSD card protrudes slightly
When I began my quest to purchase a tablet, my wife placed me on a strict budget of $200. Ipad, Samsung and many others were instantly ruled out. After scouring the internet, looking through Best Buy and Walmart I thought I narrowed it down to the Amazon Kindle Fire or maybe the Barnes and Noble Nook. However, both of these devices run very customized versions of Android and cater to their respective stores. Fortunately, I stumbled on to the Visual Land Internet Tablet. Not only was it unaltered Android. It has Android version 4.03. Oh, did I mention the price? It was well under budget so that I could purchase a case also. Did the low price mean cheap and low performing?
The box contains the tablet, wall charger, mini usb cable, mini usb to usb cable, in-ear buds and a manual. I was surprised at all the contents. Most higher cost tablets do not have as much accessories included in the box. So far so good!
The Visual Land Prestige tablet feels good in the hand. It is all plastic, but is solid. No creaks or groans. Holding the tablet in landscape, you have the mini usb, HDMI(yes, HDMI out), charging port, 3.5 mm headphone jack, microphone, and microSD slot. Phew, that is a ton of ports. Most high end tablets do not come with HDMI out. Way to go Visual Land!! On top is the power button and the volume buttons. The left and bottom is bare. The front of the device has the 7 inch 800 x 400 capacitive touch screen along with a web camera on the upper left corner. The rear of the device has a textured plastic back on most of the back with the left and right edges (in landscape mode) a shiny plastic that is a fingerprint magnet. There is a small opening for the speaker and a reset hole also on the back. A nice touch is that all ports and buttons are labeled so you know exactly what they are. One thing that I do not like is that the microsd card slightly protrudes out from the side. It leaves me a little concerned that it could pop out. It has not yet and I hope it doesn't.
Let me mention the screen. It is a mixed bag. My phones screen has a higher resolution. However, the colors look good as is the viewing angles but you will notice some pixilation at times. The screen is bright enough and responsive to touch. It is not the main selling point, but is not a deal breaker.
The Visual Land tablet comes with Android version 4.03. I t has the basic apps you need from you tube to web browser. Documents to Go, Angry Birds and Skype also comes pre-installed. . If you want to get more apps there is the Getjar app store. You could also download Amazons Android App store. You have plenty of options. I have downloaded Amazon Kindle app, the Nook app, Netflix and some games. All the apps run smoothly. Videos stream great. I inserted my 16GB microSD card and all my music, photos and videos were easily accessible!!
All in all, I am very happy with this tablet. There is no other tablet that comes close in this price range. If you are on a budget and want a little more than an ereader, this is the device for you.
Boy, did it far exceed my expectations! The tablet itself is pretty well built and sturdy, it's large enough to see things clearly, yet small enough to not be a burden over time. The rear speaker can be a bit of a setback in louder environments though, luckily headphones are included. There's a front facing camera, and if you're familiar at all with the Android OS via smartphone, picking up the loaded Ice Cream Sandwich on this tablet should be seamless. I felt that way at least.
Be aware that this tablet doesn't come with google play market, and the suite of applications that entails, such as google talk, play books, play store, etc. The included marketplace should suffice for most users, I was easily able to get my Google Play Books and gmail accounts up and running through it. The wi-fi set up was a breeze as is always the case with android devices.
Where the Prestige 7 really shines in my opinion, is the included video player that can pretty much play anything you throw at it, and that includes .mkv 1080p blu-ray rip files. It actually plays videos better than my laptop. If you get this tablet, which i highly recommend you do, be sure to get a big SD card to throw a ton of videos on it.
Battery life is ok. I can get about 1-2 movies in before it prompts me to recharge. On standby it lasts about a day or so, the battery seems pretty small because it recharges really fast too.
All in all, i have no complaints and am really glad i bought this tablet. It does everything i ask of it. Pick one up!
if you have some time make sure you hack the tablet to get google play all you need is a computer the tabletand some time to download what you need i fallowed aguy on youtube so a novice could do this but make sure you read and or watch how to first, then just fallow along with the video and pause it as you go and thats it
good luck and have fun with it.
oh yea i got mine at frys electronics store for 129 dollars

A further revision of "A Father Loses A Daughter" ... rededicated to Noelle, beloved daughter of my friend Micky Peluso, whose book And The Whipoorwill Sang, I recommend for all readers.
He took one life but gave back two …
How flows the divine arithmetic I cannot sum.
When his daughter's death leaves her father benumb,
Such are His mysteries none too few.
Crushing broad shoulders oh bitterest shame …
yet summons his strength to pray a father's grief.
He awakens from nightmares as if a falling leaf …
ere long were sent him twin miracles came.
He taketh yet giveth back to this, His world.
Hold them fast 'til you've strength no more …
lest their souls forever depart toward eternity soar.
Blanket them with tenderness gently unfurled.
He sits as if for a portrait and every day weeps …
while recalling yesterday's laughter now mute.
Nary a faint echo of her schoolgirl's flute,
that he plays for her, in his memory keeps.

While Colorado Springs City Council on Wednesday enacted a six-month moratorium on oil and gas exploration within city limits, Ultra Resources has submitted temporary use permit applications with El Paso County.
Ultra is seeking county approval for three well sites in eastern El Paso County. The company also is getting state approval for the drilling.
The applications are being worked through the county's permitting system, said Craig Dossey, a county project manager and planner.
Dossey said he does not have a timeline for finalizing the permits. Local temporary use permits usually take 60 to 90 days to process.
It has been estimated that Ultra could receive clearance to begin drilling late this month or early in January.
El Paso County commissioners enacted a four-month temporary suspension on the application process on Sept. 29, to give county officials time to draft land use regulations for the industry, but three weeks later made an exception for Ultra Resources, a Texas-based energy developer with an office in Englewood.
Ultra representatives told commissioners they thought they were in the application process at the time commissioners imposed the moratorium because Ultra had spoken to county staff prior to that.
Ultra wants to test drill for oil and gas on three well sites on Colorado State Land Board property in El Paso County. Ultra paid $1.67 million in July and August to Denver-based Pine Ridge Oil & Gas LLC for mineral leases on nearly 100,000 acres of land in eastern El Paso County and an exploratory well east of Fountain.

Some teens are tempted to try alcohol, tobacco, or drugs. You already know that none of these substances are safe. You may not know that they pose even more danger to people with diabetes.
Of course, you know about the dangers of drinking too much and of drinking and driving. For people with diabetes, though, even a little alcohol can be dangerous. Alcohol on its own can lower your blood glucose. The sugary mixers in some drinks can raise your blood glucose. In addition, it's difficult to recognize the signs of hypoglycemia when you're drinking. You may think that you're feeling the effects of alcohol, when in fact your blood glucose is taking a nose-dive. Others may attribute any strange behavior to your being drunk, even if they know you have diabetes.
Don't forget that drinking is illegal until you're 21. Despite all of this, however, some teens do drink. If you decide to drink, keep it to a minimum. Stick to one or two drinks only, and avoid drinks with sugary mixers. Don't drink on an empty stomach -- the danger of hypoglycemia is too great. On the other hand, don't let yourself pig out when you drink. Then you'll face the opposite problem. Also, learn the alcohol and carbohydrate content of various drinks. Choose the ones with lower alcohol and sugar. And always wear your medical ID, especially if you drink -- just in case.
Smoking is a factor in thousands of lung-cancer and heart-disease deaths every year. It can also cause or worsen asthma, sinus infections, allergies, and other health problems. Smoking is double trouble for people with diabetes, because diabetes already increases the risk of heart disease and kidney problems. No matter how old you are. And that's before you start using tobacco.
Some people think that chewing tobacco is safer than smoking. In fact, the opposite is true: your body absorbs even more nicotine from chewing tobacco than it does from cigarettes. Chewing tobacco and snuff are also linked to mouth and nose cancer.
If you already smoke or chew, quitting can protect you from further damage from tobacco. It can be very difficult to quit, however. Talk to your doctor about ways to make quitting easier.
Illegal Drugs
The dangers of illegal drugs are similar to those of alcohol. Some drugs lower blood glucose, and others raise it. The symptoms of hypoglycemia can be masked by the effect of the drug. Illegal drugs are also highly addictive, dangerous, bad for your health in other ways, and, of course, illegal. We can't say strongly enough that you should steer clear of all illegal drugs. Always. That said, we know that despite what you read here, and what you know in your head and heart, some teens are going to try drugs. If you do decide to use drugs, take some precautions ahead of time. Set a limit in advance. Ask a friend who's not on drugs to watch you for signs of hypoglycemia. Check your blood glucose often. And always wear your medical ID.

Watches first appeared in the 17 century when they had evolved from the spring powered clocks. The earliest watches were strictly mechanical and served only the function of timekeeping. However, as technology rapidly developed, this device evolved and it offered many other features like water resistance apart from providing day, date and weather details. People like to wear watches more as a fashion accessory than as a time keeping device. They are designed for both men and women of all ages. Most people prefer designer watches as they not just look elegant and luxurious but also double up as a time keeping device. They come in different, styles, patterns and shapes. The dial shape of the watch is a deciding factor while purchasing a watch. In the older times, only four major dial shapes were popular. These were round, oval, square and rectangular. However, people now like to experiment with their watch and prefer creative dial shapes. Some designer watches are meant for formal events like dinner parties or social get-togethers while some are targeted at youth and feature a trendy, hip design. Designer watches are crafted with extreme precision and they lend a mystic charm and style to the wearer. A luxury watch is more than a fashion accessory. It is an extension of oneâs personality and attitude. A great way to get designer watches is buying them online on online shopping sites. You can get attractive watches from various brands for both, men and women on Yebhi .

John Marshall Harlan
From Wikiquote
John Marshall Harlan (June 1, 1833 – October 14, 1911) was a Kentucky lawyer and politician who served as an associate justice on the Supreme Court. He is most notable as the lone dissenter in the Civil Rights Cases (1883), and Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which, respectively, struck down as unconstitutional federal anti-discrimination legislation and upheld Southern segregation statutes. These dissents, among others, led to his nickname, "the Great Dissenter." He was the grandfather of John Marshall Harlan II.
- An English historian, contrasting the London of his day with the London of the time when its streets, supplied only with oil-lamps, were scenes of nightly robberies, says that "the adventurers in gas-lights did more for the prevention of crime than the government had done since the days of Alfred".
- New Orleans Gas Co. v. Louisiana Light Co., 115 U.S. 650, 658 (1885).
- But in view of the constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens. There is no caste here. Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The humblest is the peer of the most powerful.
- Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, 559 (1896).

Twice-weekly flights between Provo and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport begin Feb. 15, and officials with the airline say ticket prices will start as low as $50 each way.
Wednesday's news comes three months after Frontier Airlines announced it would discontinue flights to and from Provo in January.
Provo Mayor John Curtis said at the time that the change came as Frontier reduced its fleet of smaller aircraft.

And -- dealing with Social Security ought to be off the table Social Security is not -- one penny to the deficit what we should not be doing right now.
This to be slashing the benefits of Social Security we should take Social Security off the table for the current fiscal cliff and deficit discussion.
Who got caught so -- could hurt him.
That many Democrat bush had to keep -- security off the table in the debt talks.
Even though we're learning in the program is 48 billion dollars in the hole for 2012.
The small business authority CEO Barry Sloane who says entitlement programs are what got this country and they'll mess in the first place and Barry.
I don't think people they don't pay attention to this.
That -- back in the Greenspan Commission 2030 years ago they bump -- our payroll taxes so that there would be excess money going in.
Above -- never won and that -- were lockbox put the but there was an excess.
This is the first time they've there are fewer people putting in been taking out to the government have to write a check.
Both unfortunate and a lockbox was -- and basically there's nothing wrong with -- entitlement programs entitlement programs are very important.
But it's the growth of the entitlement programs that are problematic and with respect to Social Security.
It just medical fact we're all living longer people need to work a little bit longer and Social Security will be there for many many generations.
If in fact we're prudent about it this that this is the third rail I -- when President Bush was in elected to a second term.
And he -- Republicans in the running the senate in the house even he couldn't get Social Security reform done so.
Well the BAA is Jason don't touch Social Security has been the message to Washington.
Well the message in Washington as you really don't have the ability to tell what -- message of bad news consistently for month after month after month.
And really tell the public the truth the public needs to understand the truth the truth is.
-- -- on a path with sixteen point sixteen point four trillion dollars worth of debt this economy can't pay it off.
Our rob revenue just cannot meet the debt I forget which one of the sound -- from -- -- -- but that bit of the of the comment was was at this warm body -- one cent to the deficit.
But it's money for the first time.
In this country's history that there have been more people taking now than putting in and as a result treasury.
They took the money and spend it on missiles paper clips and depends.
It's now time they have to write the check so wanna cash flow basis they oh they -- money to all these Social Security recipients -- our company does business for over a 100000 small businesses and -- our business clients ran their business the -- -- all ran its business.
We have a huge problem today with a -- in jail that's right they would -- in jail or -- lose their jobs where they go out of business and I'm confident that this message will get delivered.
Somebody's got to tell the public on a consistent basis.
We can't sustain this level of entitlement.
And this level of debt it's our sustainable -- but I got a common the other day from summaries that don't you think and this is the problem is that is that first to ball is not an entitlement they say is because we paid into it.
Secondly is the fact that.
The the comment was don't you think.
There's hundreds of billions of dollars they could -- first before -- -- on the retired people.
Basically if you look at Social Security Medicaid and Medicare.
Those -- the programs right now that make up the majority of the debt.
Those -- the programs that are growing at exponential rates that's the real problem with the budget aren't talk to me about there's there's two Social Security -- -- the what is an old age and survivors fund.
The retired people -- -- disability fund we we added.
Eight almost nine million people to disability here recently.
They're drawing because I think because they're the people that ran out of unemployment benefits.
It break it very much agree unfortunately it's called fair society and today people -- relying upon the government more and more.
And the politicians are catering to that particular culture how do you distinguish between two people that are truly disabled.
I mean I always thought the disability definition under insurance policies was if you.
Lost an arm or leg or something like that that -- you could be classified as disabled under the insurance rules.
But now people going into a doctor -- -- and his say I'm stressed out by the fact that don't have a job in the mentally disabled.
We think regulation and government is important that as a role in society and it's great but at the end of the day.
The public puts its trust in government commodities programs and make sure that people who are really disabled.
Have the ability to get the funds what -- on a scale of one to ten -- -- the chances of Social Security being tinkered with.
I think it's pretty -- I'd say it's close to -- I think the go extend the age.
Of when people can retire people have to work longer.
That's that's only ultimately what it calls now -- -- point we live longer we're all live a longer we can work longer raw healthier.
We all this have to what they -- extended on the Greenspan 2030 years ago here today intact another couple years on to do it again and the here's the good news for all healthy -- water it's great to be able get up in the morning and go to work.
Very slow and thank you very much appreciate you covenant thank you.
Next up.

text: (AP) An Ohio report says that one and possibly two prison guards at Chillicothe Correctional Institution apparently falsified an electronic log documenting checks on a death row inmate who committed suicide just days before his execution was to go forward.The report released Monday says one of the officers also did not conduct the required rounds. It does not say, however, whether the guards, if they had followed the rules, might have prevented the August 4th suicide of condemned killer Billy Slagle.Slagle's August 7th execution appeared on track despite a plea for mercy from a prosecutor, who said Slagle shouldn't have gotten the death sentence.The guards were placed on paid administrative leave. The union representing guards did not immediately return a message for comment.

Alright who's the wise guy that said " great, who let this weirdo in here?" Thanks guys. It sure does feel good to be in here with you guys. I've waiting to get in and working hard at it. Keeping rigs up and running, doing some switching around. It all paid off.
Milestones Today ChaoticAtmosphere passes 1,100,000 ------ spout23 passes 500,000 ---- gopalprasad passes 1,000 -- Congrats to Today's Stoners!!! -
Hell yea stoners! Only cruncher I have back up is the 2600K for now. I will work on the I7-920 more tonight along with getting the other two back up. I will have a XFX 8800 Ultra and a 1TB enterprise drive for sale here soon
I am going to try and fix my electrical outlet today. If I do, I'll see how I can deal with the heat of thr 2nd cruncher.
Yea I was going to turn my crunchers back on but with the AC being out and just getting fixed last night, I havnt had time. The reason the one at work was down was due to a major storm coming through and our work building was out of power for 8 hours.
@ Brandon Yeah not much spare time usually for me, and lately I've tried to rest whenever I can so I can feel better. But I'll see if I can figure something out today! @Gopal That's crazy man.
Damn, and I hope you don't take this offensive Gopal, it really isn't my intention. But then we still have people here that complain about our quality of life. I mean, it may not be the greatest at times but based on what Gopal just said, we have it way better than others. People need to be grateful. Appreciate what you have.
Well i am not complaining about it. btw, Why will i take anything offensive? I am not that kind of kid
No I didn't say you were, I'm referring to people here in the US. People whine all the time, bu they don't realize how good they have it. And some people would take that offensive, just making sure.
Yeah we must have it bad... here we complain about the store 1/2 a block away from us not having the flavor of soda we like and it not being cold enough While parts of the world around us are grateful that power goes out for only 5 hrs per day.

So the 2012 Met Ball was on last night and it brings the celebrities out in their drones every years. As with every other event, there are some amazing dresses and there are some disastrous misses. I'm going to show you my favourites and my opinions on the worst dressed, because believe me, there were a few! But the best dressed really shone, especially Ginnifer Goodwin who recovered from her bad outfit choice at the Kentucky Derby earlier in the week!
The Best Dressed:
To have a look at most of the dresses at the Met Ball last night, check them out HERE on British Vogue's website and think up your own opinion on the dresses you think are fabulous or should have been left at home!
