"Vanilla and citrus laced pear syrup aromas greet you at first glass. Interesting green apple and peach notes add to the floral honeysuckle in our 2011 Sauvignon Blanc. Ripe tangerine and peach flavors are rich on the palate but still allow a bright citrus zest acidity to shine through and through. Always a favorite with grilled shrimp or pad Thai! Perhaps stepping outside the comfort zone with chorizo and mussels or a goat cheese and fresh herb souffle would also pair wonderfully."

Prices, promotions and availability may vary by store and online.
2012 Bogle Sauvignon Blanc
"Vibrant on the nose with notes of lemon grass, mowed hay and a touch of jalapeño, this wine awakens the senses before the first sip. Lively, exotic flavors of passion fruit and kiwi are quenching and delightful, with a touch of softness in the mid palate. Mouthwatering gooseberry and lime finish clean and bright, and ready for another sip."

2012 Pomelo Sauvignon Blanc by Mason
"Scintillating, with citrus suggestions and savory notes on the nose. Lemon and lime on the palate, with a savory herbal suggestion swirling about; a hint of white apricots emerge with time. Plush and full-figured, tantalizingly pure and vibrant. Everything that New World Sauvignon should be, with an approving nod to its Bordeaux and Loire cousins. Why drink New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc when you have this? Absurd value."

guys please post your pictures in a new post since if you edit it into a previous post its liable to be missed
I was informed that Team Building basics is no longer being worked on T_T So, I read the GenV BW OU Offense Guide and I might be able to use the pokes that were going to be on the Team Building art This is still a WIP: Ferro was under spikers and Jellicent was under Spin Blocker I'll add Volcarona and Conkeldurr in there Think it'll work with Offense guide?
Hey, I'll takte the 4th Gen Maximizing Defense Article. As dusclops was used as one of the main examples, I drew him in a pillow fort. What's more impenetrable than that?
If we're drawing multiple Pokemon but for only one article, do they have to be in the same picture or can they be separate? I'm gonna draw three Pokemon for OU Threat List and I finished one already but I don't know whether the other ones should be put in the same picture or what, lol. resize as needed yaddayadda (Move your mouse to reveal the content) resize as needed yaddayadda (open) resize as needed yaddayadda (close)
it's fine if you do either all in the same image or separate them. There is no guarantee that we will use all of them, however.
I would like to do an image for the Tips & Tricks article. Since it talks about Carracosta being a great HM slave, I wanted to draw a picture of one of the trainers from Black and White just feeding Carracosta HM discs and Carracosta looking a little dejected and used. Does that sound okay?
I'm trying to do a Whimsicott/Terrakion combo (Helping Hand/Tailwind/Beat Up) for the Double Battles Guide.
Work in progress. (The full version is about 1100x750, this is just a sample.) UPDATE Might try to add shading later, I don't plan to try to add a background.
How and when are these works going to be implemented into the articles? I know my works aren't quite comparable to the likes NastyJungle or Chou Toshio, but there doesn't seem to be too much going on in terms of judging or follow-up. I'd be nice to know if a piece got rejected or accepted, ya know? :/
Sorry Pravinoz that I can't give you a definite answer, but we need to get these pictures added to the site before we can upload them to the Articles. It'll be done in due time, don't worry.
I'd like to take Capture Mechanics (In-Depth) I'll probably draw a really hard-to-catch poke with 1 HP and a status effect looking all smug while a Scyther looks shocked...hope that's okay!
I know it's been a lot longer than I said it would be, but I've just had so much going on IRL in the past few months... anyway, here's my picture for The Secret Base Training Guide: Let me know if you want me to change anything! (I can't decide whether to include the posters or not...) EDIT: Here it is without the posters... Hide (Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content) Show Hide Hide Hide
So I sort of lost interest in this after a while, which combined with other stuff to do led to no progress at all in nearly a month. I'm sorry. Here's the final version anyway (be sure to download the fullsize version), coloured but unshaded since I'm not really able to do it. If you still want to use it for some reason go ahead.

This is Jason Estepan representing Travesty Pictures. Travesty Pictures is an independent viral marketing team comprised of two film makers. We came up with the cover project to launch Travesty Pictures along with the local Western New York music scene. We are aware that many bands are trying very hard to reach a large audience and make a living from music with no success. We created a team of audio engineers, music producers, fifteen bands along with our two film makers to make this cover project a reality. We have discounts on all of the studios and we personally are giving out free labor and promotion for these bands. Unfortunately we need a budget to launch this project and pay for the audio labs and the props for the videos. We hope to get local support all around Western New York to fuel this project and make it everything it should be. We expect 20 million to 100 million views on the entire project. Nick Arnot from Travesty Pictures used to run a music video chat series that has over 4 million views using the same strategy for the cover project. Now we are turning that series into a professional MTV quality series.We are using mainstream media to advertise this project through our system we developed. Through research we can find release dates of music videos and the singles from mainstream artists and release our version before they do giving us a huge edge.
We produce a song from start to finish, we then film a music video for that song. The finished product generally goes viral due to our creative marketing plan, resulting in huge success for the bands and individuals we produce. This is an ongoing project, that we have already seen great success with. With the proposed budget we will be producing fifteen videos for this series (our 2011 season).
Below we have a link to our video presentation in an effort to raise money through donations and it explains more of the project.
We have worked on the His Name Was Yesterday video under a previous name Six Year Productions and you can check out that original music video below
We have two examples of this project already.
The is our latest video (and video of the series). It's a cover song of "blow" by Kesha expected to reach an audience of around 200,000 people by march.
This next video we recently shot and directed for a band, this is just a look at what some of the videos can / will look like.
This last video is our first video from the project, we have upgraded our equipment and crew since this video. It still shows the potential of what this project can be.
Roster for The "Cover" Project
1. The Marianas Embrace
2. Ghost Sequence
3. Endeavors
4. Forever, Emily
5. Come honor
6. The Hello Approach
7. Armcannon
8. The Blank Shots
9. Meet Me in March
10. Lightning Killed My Parents
11. Ben Salhany and Paul Mitro Side Project
12. Under The Skylight
13. Birth Of A Catastrophe
14. in The Presence Of Enemies
15. Heading North
Our goal is to gather millions of views for these bands so they can sell their original content on Itunes and possible get signed from a record label. We also have a plan to launch project buffalo which is a project in which we take those same 15 bands and follow up with an original song and sell it right on Youtube and Itunes.
There is a lot of information about this but thats a rough idea. If you would like to follow up our contact is listed below

I say walk, hold a presser and say "clearly the POTUS isn´t serious about avoiding the cliff, so we´ll wait until he is." Then refuse further behind closed door conferences.
Obama and the democrat party have a serious addiction..spending other people´s money.It can be no plainer that they have no intention of spending less for anything, except the military.As a nation, we are being weakened to the point that we will be unable to defend ourselves, or our private property (earnings) from the greedy government.
President Morsi of Egypt and "President" Obama of Obamaland: two sides of the same false coin.
It finally dawned on me where we´ve seen this kind of attitude/approach -- the Hostess baker´s union. The dims look at the federal government in terms of what can they get out of it... what´s there and what can we demand/take for OUR side? The republicans look at America as an entity that is there for all people and try to look out for what is best for the entity to grow so that all sides grow and benefit.Just as the Hostess unions were willing to kill the company to get their demands met, the dimocrats are willing to kill the country for their demands. Its a form of *revenge* against "the management", as it were -- white male America.
And why are these sessions behind closed doors, Mr. Transparency?
Raise taxes. Remove that issue. Then make that incompetent actually pass a budget. Absolutely no ´unlimited´ debt limit.
WTP have a number of DEMANDS we wish to make of o Two Won. Hey, you!!! We demand you get your big feet off the desk, learn to speak with an unforked tongue, and step aside. We tire of your tantrums, your ego, your lies. You certainly earn no respect from the average true American across this land. Take your Marxist, Communist, Socialist ways and make like a tree and leave. 'The Future Must Not Belong To Those Who Slander The Prophet Of Islam' Care to repeat those words???? Again?
We could move some printing presses for $10,000.00 bills into the white house to streamline the process.
No congressional control of the debt limit, His own personal "Kill List", hundreds of executive orders, this is the stuff of dictatorship. And the media say nothing.
Tax more, spend more. The Zero balanced approach. Unsustainable.
.... and the horse you rode in on ...
Are you the POTUS or a teenager?The answer is NO!

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Two people in a SUV pulled up alongside another vehicle at a Pueblo convenience store Thursday night and opened fire.
At least five shots whizzed around the driver in the second vehicle, none hitting its intended target.
Police are now trying to figure out if the incident was random, or if it is connected to a fight earlier in the day.
When officers arrived at the Loaf N Jog on Northern and Acero, they found the 21-year-old victim suffering from several injuries, but none from gunshots. Police believe the swelling in the victim's face and various cuts were from an altercation a few hours before the drive-by. The driver side window on the victim's car also had a big hole in it, as if someone bashed it in. Police also believe that was from before the shooting.
Police found five bullet shell casings at the scene, and multiple bullet holes in the passenger side window of the victim's car.
Officers are currently looking for the suspects. There is no description available at this time, other than the suspects were riding in a white SUV.
Anyone with information is asked to call Pueblo police.

Chez Panisse Tableware
Filed under: Dining
When it comes to high end dining, most consider the food, rather than the tableware. At Berkeley's Chez Panisse, chef/owner Alice Waters worked with Heath Ceramics to design custom place settings. Her reasoning was that since her food was locally sourced, her tableware should be, too. While you can buy the full range of Thomas Keller's tableware, Heath Ceramics has only released a 4-piece set, along with some serving dishes, for home use from their Chez Panisse Collection. The set is available in a neutral almond/ginger color. Price: $146.

nice post about x-portal very easy to read. thanks for share
Accelerating Science Discovery - Join the Discussion
Take a well known area of scientific and/or technological research. Call it X-research, where X is anything you can name. X might be biofuels, cancer, dark matter, you name it. How do you find all of the people working in area X, plus all of their Web content, to build a comprehensive Web portal for them? That is the X-Portal challenge.
The X-Portal challenge is a lot harder than you might think, because research tends to be a seamless web, with no sharp boundaries. So bounding the community is the heart of the challenge. Moreover, everyone in the community is actually working on a different problem, some aspect of the general problem that defines the community. So there is no unique marker, no badge of membership.
Then too, we want to identify all the members and collect the community content without using subject matter experts. We want the computer to do it, with as little expert help as possible. We want a search engine that can identify a community and find its content. Sounds simple but this is actually a difficult problem. It may even be the next big thing for the science and technology Web: comprehensive community coverage.
Perhaps the easiest way to see the challenge is to consider a sample method or two, some simple methods that do not work. The simplest approach is to pick some key subject matter terminology for the community in question, then do a search on an existing search engine. Perhaps we might use Google or Google Scholar. Unfortunately this will not work, for several well known reasons. First, a lot of the hits will be false hits, that is, they will be on content that is not part of the community. Extensive expert assistance would be needed to say which is which, the good hits and the false. Second, a lot of the content we are after will not show up at all, because different people in the community are working on different specific problems, with different language.
A more complex approach might be to use co-authorship and citation mapping. After all, these methods are geared to the idea of a community of research. So we might first find some of the best known authors in area X, perhaps by using standard reference materials. Then we can find all the people who have co-authored research articles with these central authors. We can also find all the people who have cited their works, as well as all that have been cited by their works. We can also map all the articles that have cited their co-authors, or been cited by them. This is the kind of social network analysis that these methods were developed for, although they have never been used in this X-Portal way.
Here again we will encounter several well known obstacles. First, within a given community there are often several distinct groups of researchers, not to mention loners, and often there are many. Members of these different groups tend to cite and co-author with one another, but not with the other groups. In some cases the groups are rivals who have very little contact. So depending on where we start we might easily miss some important groups within the X community. Second, researchers often have more than one interest, or change interests during their careers, or get their ideas from outside the community. As a result these maps tend to wander away from the community we are interested in, sometimes very quickly.
These simple examples are merely intended to demonstrate that the challenge is significant, not to show that it cannot be met. In fact is quite likely that a combination of methods, including word search, citation and co-author mapping, plus several others, will meet the challenge. The trick is to find the right combination.
OSTI has been doing research into this challenge for several years, led by Dr. William Watson and a world-class team of extramural experts. See for example:
for pioneering research on the formation of scientific communities.

Cyrus Cassells' fifth book commemorates the blazing integrity of young people caught in the vise of World War II. In its journey through the "anti-miracle" of Europe's embattled past, The Crossed-Out Swastika follows the lives of historical and semi-fictional characters to unearth and amplify moments of almost impossible music, bravery, beauty, and redemption, illuminating the human spirit against unspeakable tyranny.
Cyrus Cassells grew up in the Mojave Desert. He graduated from Stanford University and has worked as a translator, film critic, and actor; he currently teaches poetry in the MFA program at Texas State University–San Marcos. Cyrus' poetry has been widely praised and he has received numerous accolades including a Pushcart Prize, a Lambda Literary Award, the National Poetry Series Prize, and the William Carlos Williams Award, as well as fellowships from the Lannan Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. He lives in Austin, Texas.
In the 1950s, Yale University Press published a number of Gertrude Stein's posthumous works, among them her incomparable Stanzas in Meditation. Since that time, scholars have discovered that Stein's poem exists in several versions: a manuscript that Stein wrote and two typescripts that her partner Alice B. Toklas prepared. Toklas's work on the second typescript changed the poem when, enraged upon detecting in it references to a former lover, she not only adjusted the typescript but insisted that Stein make revisions in the original manuscript.
This edition of Stanzas in Meditation is the first to confront the complicated story of its composition and revision. Through meticulous archival work, the editors present a reliable reading text of Stein's original manuscript, as well as an appendix with the textual variants among the poem's several versions. This record of Stein's multi-layered revisions enables readers to engage more fully with the author's radically experimental poem and also to detect the literary impact of Stein's relationship with Toklas. The editors' preface and poet Joan Retallack's introduction offer insight into the complexities of reading Stein's poetry and the innovative modes of reading that her works require and generate. Students and admirers of Stein will welcome this illuminating new contribution to Stein's oeuvre.

A nomad writer finds herself roughnecking it on a wildcat drilling operation in a meth-ridden former boom town in San Joaquin Valley. When a coworker turns up dead, she suspects foul play and sets out to solve a murder mystery - but will she be the next victim? Knode brings the edgy, colorful, and dangerous world of oil and gas drilling to life and hers leuth Ann Whitehead is an original.
Helen Knode put her experiences as a staff writer and film critic for the "L.A. Weekly" into her first novel, The Ticket Out. She was born in Calgary, Alberta, heart of the Canadian oil business, and Knodes have worked in oil since the nineteenth century, a history that inspired Wildcat Play. She lives in Austin, Texas.
Review Quotes:
"This book is a blast -- a gutsy, funny heroine and a story that's a pulse-pounding thrill ride."-Janet Evanovich
Ed Madden will be reading from his latest book of poetry, Prodigal: Variations. Reading and book signing.
The poems in Ed Madden's second collection of poetry, Prodigal: Variations, explore relations between men--fathers, sons, brothers, lovers--as well as questions of home and exile, memory and longing, and the promises and compromises of any return. In poems that are at once both mythical and deeply personal, Madden asks how we define home, what stories impel us, what rituals and relationships sustain us in a world shaped by loss
Madden's first book of poetry, Signals, won the 2007 South Carolina Poetry Book Prize. His work also appears in Best New Poets 2007, Collective Brightness, and Notre Dame's The Book of Irish American Poetry from the Eighteenth Century to the Present. Madden is an associate professor of English at the University of South Carolina, where he teaches Irish literature, creative writing, and gender studies. Madden received his MA and PhD from the University of Texas.
Venus Illuminated: Diaries from the Underworld
Lover, Avenger, Avatar – trickster Venus is always changing form. From innocent Persephone blithely picking narcissus to grieving Isis seeking her lost love to enraged Inanna banishing her beloved -- in ancient times the goddess' travels in the Underworld were a source mystery and magic far removed from our modern saccharine image of Venus.
Astronomically speaking, shining Venus disappears from the night sky every 18 months on her voyage between the Earth and Sun. Viewed through the lens of mythology, this 40-day retrograde represents the Goddess' descent into the Underworld. But 2012 marks a rare celestial event that occurs in pairs once in a lifetime. Venus' Underworld journey is illuminated: on June 5, Venus will be visible traveling across the face of the solar disk.
What does the uncloaking of Venus' secret sojourn herald for us? Astrologer Donna Woodwell will explore Venus' rich archetypal history, as well as reflect on the faces of Venus as she manifests in your life, and collectively in our changing word.
A true Renaissance woman, Donna Woodwell is an astrologer, writer, hypnotist, and Internet entrepreneur. Her mission: to live creatively with passion, purpose, abundance and joy, and empower others to do the same. An active member of the astrological community, Donna teaches at Kepler College and serves as board member of the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR). She lives in Austin, Texas.

It's hard to imagine today what it was like for a woman to live in a time when she had never heard the word lesbian, when there were no lesbian organizations, and when she had to be careful what she wore to the bar because a woman could be arrested simply for wearing pants or the wrong shoes. These are just some of the experiences shared in Without Apology: Old Lesbian Life Stories.
Arden Eversmeyer is an 80 year old lesbian, Houston resident, and is the founder & director of the Old Lesbian Oral Herstory Project, which collects & preserves the life stories of lesbians 70 and older.
Without Apology shares the stories of 24 ordinary, yet remarkable, women.
Among them are:
• Saundra, who volunteered in rural Mississippi during the height of the Civil Rights Movement.
• Ellie, who at age 92, continues to work part-time as a substance abuse counselor.
• Joann, who raised 17 children, five her own, five adopted, and seven fostered, many of whom were mentally and physically disabled, and now, with her partner, runs a group home.
• Gloria, whose entertainment career began when she was seven and earned $5 a night dancing at clubs, went on to spend years as a "nightclub girl," singing, dancing and doing comedy.
• Bessie, who was an incredible left-handed pitcher in the women's fastpitch softball leagues in Texas.
• Edie, who traveled on the Peace Train from Finland to Beijing, China, to attend the Fourth International Conference on Women.
• Shaba, who journeyed through Judaism, Islam, and Kabbalah as a black-skinned woman raised in the midst of racial segregation and Jim Crow laws.
• Arden, who lived a closeted life for almost 40 years before the death of her long-term partner motivated her to begin a life of activism.
• Helen, who entered the convent when she finished high school in hopes of sublimating her love for women.
• Kittu, who was born in India and raised high in the Himalayas, became fascinated by the concept of nourishment and later went on to be an integral part of developing the Recommended Daily Allowance rating system as well as WIC, a nutrition program for women, infants and children.
• Louise and Ruth, who after falling in love in college, were forcibly separated by school authorities. They found each other again after more than 30 years, and remain together decades later.

Recommend Me Something American
I've been getting into enjoying whiskey for the past few months, and in July I will be visiting the US (I live in Brazil). I've been thinking of bringing back two or three bottles with me.
From what I've tasted (about a dozen or so different types of whiskey), the ones I liked most were Logan, Old Parr, Dimple 15-year-old, Jack Daniel's single barrel and gentleman's jack and Famous grouse 12-year blend. I thought glennfidditch's 12-year-blend was interesting, but not that incredible. I didn't much care for Dewar's 12-year-blend, and actively disliked Jameson and Knob Creek 9-year. If all I had were those last two, I'd quit drinking completely. I know asking for recommendations is a little bit of a shot in the dark, but without any hints I will probably choose the bottle that looks nicest. (I'll be going to Washington and NY, but it would probably be best if the stuff I would be looking for wouldn't be too hard to find, I'll probably be using public transportation for the most of the time). Also, I'm willing to spend around 60-80 bucks a bottle. Thanks! |
Oh, I also disliked Chivas Regal 12-year old, though I only drank about a serving or two of it.
If you want to try a scotch that drinks like a bourbon, I highly recommend The Balvenie Double Wood. It's pretty readily available in NY.

Cautious optimism. That's how I'm moving forward after the Miami Dolphins win against the mighty Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Yes, the team that fell just short of the Superbowl last season. The team with marquee receivers and the quarterback who seems destined to become one of the great ones. The team that has appeared to be on the way up in recent seasons, while the Dolphins have been holding steady in the average or below-average crowd.
Okay, so Atlanta had it's share of injuries heading into Sunday's game, but so did the Fins. Two key defenders missed the game and two or three more left the game early with injuries, including Cameron Wake. How many times have you heard the saying "Injuries are part of the game."? Of course, that's usually said by a fan of the team that beat up on the injured one.
So, the Dolphins did not beat up on anybody Sunday. In fact, you could say (and the stats would prove you right) that it was Atlanta that beat up on Miami all day...that is until that last drive.
That marvelous 4 minute, 75 yard drive, orchestrated by quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who did not turn in his best performance for most of the day. That drive which ended with a one yard dunk pass to rookie back-up tight end Dion Sims.
Truth be told, the Fins didn't look all that great the entire game. Backup Falcons running backs, filling in for the injured Steven Jackson, looked like stars.
The Dolphins next face the Saints in New Orleans next Monday night...prime time in front of the world. After that game, the Baltimore Ravens come to Sunlife the following week. And Miami still has the entire AFC East to play...TWICE!!!
Bottom line: There's a long road ahead to get to the playoffs and the Fins are on the right track. Let's just hope they don't derail. By the way, the 2002 Dolphins finished 9-7 and did not make the playoffs.

Lots of places.. Internet or storefront? Not so many brick and mortar stores are carrying them, but you should have no problem getting a nice one sent to your house. I rotate between three, The original Motorola Protective Portfolio Case, The Incipio Silacrylic with integrated Kickstand, and the Belkin slim folio stand. Read reviews, take a cruise over to xoomforums.com or Motorola's own support forums and see what's said over there. NOTE: Be careful not to confuse the original Xoom sold here on Woot with Xoom FE (Family Edition) or Xyboard/Xoom 2, or other Xooms. They all take different cases. I'm a case nut, I believe in keeping my electronics protected, so I slip these in to a 10" tablet/netbook case with room to spare.

Woot cost for refurb is $326 shipped with tax. The price on amazon , http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045FM6SU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1SAU5M1QZVTHL is $385.. So in my book that is a diff of $59 going from a refurb to a new one. I dont have a issue with refurb hence the reason i almost bought it. But when there is a $59 difference between a virgin one and a refurb, why not pick a new one.

Well, I wear glasses, and am probably more sensitive to displays with poor viewing angles. I have a lot of IPS tablets and the non-IPS one is the worst and hard to use. The colors to the left and right peripheral vision are different when viewing it straight on. That's just unacceptable. IPS is the way to go.

Unless you know some secret way to access Moofi, there is no Moofi special on such a product. moofi.woot.com redirects to woot.com and searching for Moofi deals on Deals.woot doesn't turn up a Xoom case at all.

Higher speed only matters for playing back hi-def video and if you don't like to wait long for data transfers. All other applications and media type are fine with 4.
Found the dang case. They really hid this one for some reason. http://moofi.woot.com/moofi/behindcloseddoor
I encouraged someone to pick up one of these the last time it was on woot (the batch that still had the last users info on it) and they did. It was a great purchase decision (I honestly wish I'd not gotten the Viewsonic gTablet and waited for one of these instead. Classic Buyers Remorse). My only problem with it is that the screen suffers from serious ghosting issues to the point that it's highly noticeable during video playback. If it wasn't for that (and the lack of ad-hoc support without rooting), I'd call it a near perfect unit.

I blame that on HBO. I've done it, but it's a pain in the arse. HBO only allows 3G / 4G tablets and supported phones access to their HBOGO service, as well as computers and authorized devices (aka: Xbox 360). Wi-Fi only devices are out of luck.

Not only can you use a stylus, you can also use a controller with it provided it uses USB and the game app supports it. The video game console emulators support controllers. There is also a way to use a wireless controller, but that involves rooting.

Well....give him a strong one for us. I didn't even read the creative narrative, sorry. Google is our friend when that happens.
I really like mine - which I got from the earlier woot (with a subsequent $100 gift card for sending back and forth due to improper prep and leaving some previous user info on the one I got). Principal uses are email, browsing, as a fantastic display for my acrylic and water color class photos (easy to take and transfer photos between this and other cameras and storage via Windows), and as a GPS for golf using Golf Shot app. The latter is somewhat behind IPAD version as the android version does not have per club distance tracking, but an update is in progress to add these features. Much better than spending several hundred on a standalone Golf GPS/rangefinder (the wi-fi version just has distances to major features screen versus map of hole if WiFi access is unavailable (license problem) - so if that is important to you think about a 3g/4g version instead.

First time buying on ebay, but the only thing I see in regards to warranty is the one backed by SquareTrade for 44.99. If you choose to go to the SquareTrade route - "For Refurbished & Used Items: Coverage lasts 1-2 years as indicated at the time that you purchase your warranty. Coverage starts on the day after the manufacturer's warranty expires, or if there isn't a manufacturer's warranty, on the 46th day after your item purchase."
This is pretty awesome deal. I bought my G-Tablet for such price when it first came out. When will this be avaialble again?
Bought one from woot last November as a Xmas present and it looked brand new. Refurb tag on the back but my kid loves the darn thing. I bought myself one from cowboom.com for 270.00 again the condition was outstanding, also using it now.

I just found out that it comes equipped with a 60-day warranty backed by the seller, Luckydogs.

From woot! FAQs "I missed yesterday's item, can I still get one? No. Each woot.com product is discontinued at 11:59pm central time. That's that. Period. We may get more at a later date if we're lucky, but we offer no guarantees, we allow no backorders, and we have no waiting/notification lists. Too bad." But...there are a few on ebay. The one I purchased for the same price as the one on Woot(iirc) for 299.99: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110870154302+#ht_4673wt_1270 Snooping around I also saw: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOTOROLA-XOOM-32GB-10-1-WiFi-Android-3-2-Tablet-MZ604-/251052592573?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item3a73e68dbd#ht_1399wt_1139 Used+Seller refurbished. 247.99 + 12.99(standard shipping) Which brings the grand the total to 260.98. A 90-day warranty is also included. In addition to the price, what makes this one different than the one I purchased, the latter (mine) is Verizon LTE Rdy while the former is not.
I read somewhere that only the Wi-Fi was getting the update to ICS. That was in Jan. Don't know if the GSM models are getting it by now. Correction: I found this on Moto's site As previously communicated, DROID RAZR, DROID RAZR MAXX, DROID 4, DROID BIONIC, DROID XYBOARD 8.2 and 10.1, and MOTOROLA XOOM WiFI + 3G/4G will be upgraded to ICS. Additional details on timing for these products will be shared at a later date. Here is some more info on the tablet http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Consumer-Product-and-Services/Tablets/ci.MOTOROLA-XOOM-WiFi-REFURB-US-EN.alt#anchor
I got the shipping confirmation for the case so far, but not the actual tablet. Hopefully I don't wind up with just the case...!
Update: Everywhere I read I see this "MZ604 is wifi only"
Does anyone know if these things get new batteries when they are refirb'ed?
Mine is on the truck for delivery! *sitting on the couch tapping my fingers....*

I'm disappointed it's coming USPS, tracking updates are very, um, nonexistant. It goes from being "tracking information is received" to in my city in a matter of a day, aaaaaaand is now doing nothing? Awesome USPS. I just hope they don't do a no knock, leave a notice and make me go down to the post office to pick it up despite being home when they were here.
richg0404 wrote:Mine is out for delivery. I ordered the case too but it is lagging behind. Does anyone have a source for inexpensive screen protectors for the Xoom ?
I'm not sure what you consider inexpensive, but for $20 on amazon if you search Zagg XOOM, they have the screen protectors on there that have a lifetime warranty. You would have to register the product since not directly purchasing from Zagg, but it's still worth it. Installation is a bit tough, but if you take dish detergent and put a about 5 drops in a large bowl of water and dip the protector and apply it that way, it's not too terrible. Make sure you wash and spray your hands with window cleaner. For a lifetime, scratch proof warranty, if you ask me it's worth the $20 and 20-30 minute installation.
Mine shipped USPS and it's at my local sorting facility. Yeah! Just in time for "Mommy Day!" FYI: Amazon Prime has the "Motorola Protective Gel Case for MOTOROLA XOOM Black (Motorola Retail Packaging)" for $5.99! Ordered 1, should arive by Saturday.
Wifey just informed me that my Xoom just arrived (cental Mass). Now I have to wait until after work to play with it. By that time she'll have it customized to her likes and I'll have to wait until the next time it comes up on woot.
Well much to the lack of USPS notification on tracking, it has arrived. On first sight, my xoom did unfortunately have an owner that dropped it. It has one obvious blemish, but besides that, it looks fine. I am rather surprised by the charger pin being different than my Motorola droid x and razr, though it still contains the same usb port, and if you plug your charger into it, it will tell you that usb charging is not supported. It has taken itself through three updates so far. Scratch that, four now. First three were simple updates, and the fourth is the ICS. For any Motorola user this tablet will feel like home. Now my biggest dilemma is whether I should return my Samsung galaxy tab 2 and get my money back or regift it to someone, seeing that it is a decent tablet... it's just not a xoom!
Got mine today and is updating now. Model number=xoom Got my otterbox defender today too! Happy days

This is a great product. Cut my leaf blowing work to half the time it took before. The unit is very convenient and the 4 stroke motor is a pleasure to use. I highly recommend this blower. Worth the extra money.

Some of the reviews on here are skeptical about the blower. Yes it's not a top grade professional-use backpack blower, but then again do you need it? I don't, but I got tired of waving a handheld around. The 4-cycle is reallllly nice, makes keeping gas on hand easier. The blower maybe could put out some more airflow, but I fixed that by fabricating a smaller nozzle on the end of the circular one...made the opening even smaller by wrapping a sheet of plastic around it in a conical shape, thus, more velocity. Cleared my backyard of leaves fairly easy. Straps are comfortable and it's not too loud...friction lock to keep the trigger pulled is nice. Unit starts on the first or second pull, no issues!

Ran well for the first year of ownership. Used weekly for clean up after mowing a 1 acre yard, plus some additional hours for leaf clean up in the fall. One afternoon while in use, the engine began losing power and then ceased operating. Tried fresh gas, cleaned out the carburator, checked and regapped the spark plug. Nothing. After some previous difficulty with craftsman lawn equipment, I've decided never again to purchase a craftsman lawn product, or troy-built which makes this blower for sears.

I look for performance,very picky about that.I look for balance between over-all construction and the motor. Since I have the same Craftsman engine on my edger with the assist-start( from my electric drill if I need) I thought it would be a great buy.Waited till Octobers Fall lawn&garden sale@ $250. Good value! At first I thought the vibration at the lower edge of the back would be a issue,to my surprise I felt so relaxed when I finished blowing FIVE yards of my neighbors. It relaxed me. Plus one neighbor gave me a BIG bag of candy bars and another knitted a wool hat for me! This blower is not a high speed blower but is has a lot of volume CFM (cubic feet per minute).Think of it as pouring water out of a bucket compared to a skinny little hose nozzle on jet.setting. When on idle there is enough air coming out to blow the leaves off the sidewalk without EVEN pulling the throttle trigger! Amazing! I think SEARS should offer FREE attachment hook-up!.USE ONLY regular gas WITHOUT ethanol.

Not impressed with the blowing power, had to work harder with it as I do with my craftsman handheld blower which is rated at 200 mph while the back pack blows a little 100 mph. However impressed with ease of starting one pull and its on. Lightweight, belly strap wide enough for my girth, The cruise control is slipping will not lock out at full throttle. First one I have owned took the written review of a 20 year veteran who I believed knew a little something only to realize he may have been more comfortable with 20 years of technique rather than actual power. overall a good experience cant afford the Stihl product or the Echo so this will have to do. This is not a professional tool my trees don't know the difference.

Good little workhorse. Great that it runs on gas only no oil mixing. Starts easily. Only problem is that it seems to have a small amount of oil coming out by the air filter. This doesn't seem to hurt performance but feel I will need to keep constant check on oil level.

I've been very happy with all the Craftsman (Troybilt) 4 cycle blowers. I have a hand held and we also bought one for my father in law. They start easily and have been trouble free for several years now. Just bought the backpack style because it would be easier for my wife to use. So far works great. It is more powerful than the handheld 4 cycle version. It's so nice not having to mix gas with the 2 cycle oil...I doubt I'll ever by another 2 cycle blower/trimmer again.

This blower is great for anyone with a larger than average yard that needs tending. It is comfortable and starts very easily.

OTTAWA — A 38-year-old male cyclist was killed Thursday morning when he was struck by a truck as he rode south on Merivale Road near Hunt Club Road West.
The man was pronounced dead on the scene after paramedics were called to the crash around 7:50 a.m.
According to police, the driver of the truck initially wasn't aware that he had hit the cyclist. He kept driving for a few blocks before he was flagged down by another motorist.

Police closed the southbound lanes on Merivale Road at Roydon Place.
The crash was witnessed by an OC Transpo driver and the driver of a tanker truck, both of whom stopped at the scene.
West Hunt Club Road reopened shortly after 2 p.m. after being closed in both directions from Roydon Place to Cleopatra Drive.
Compounding the traffic snarl-up was a second nearby investigation when the police bomb squad was called to investigate a suspicious device found by Hydro workers on Merivale Road near Slack Road. That proved to be a fake pipe bomb.
The Ottawa police collision investigations section is investigating the cycling fatality. No charges have been laid, and police were still seeking witnesses Thursday evening. It is the second cycling fatality in Ottawa in 2013.

- Used together, the two hoses take 12
- minutes to fill the pond.
- If used alone, one hose is able to fill the pond 10
- minutes faster than the other.
- So 10 minutes faster than the other hose.
- How long does each hose take to fill the pond by itself?
- So let's think about each of the hoses.
- We have a faster hose, and then we have a slower hose.
- And let's say that the faster hose fills the pond.
- Let's say it takes him f minutes per pond.
- Now how long is it going to take the slower hose?
- Well, the faster hose does it in 10 minutes less.
- It's 10 minutes faster.
- So the slower hose is going to take 10 minutes more.
- So the slower hose is going to take f plus 10 minutes per
- fish pond or per pond.
- Now this is in minutes per pond, but if we want to be
- able to add rates together, we should really think about in
- terms of ponds per minute.
- So let's rewrite each of these statements
- as ponds per minute.
- You could write this as f minutes per 1 pond or f plus
- 10 minutes per 1 pond.
- And if you just take the inverse of each of these
- statements, these ratios are equivalent to saying 1 pond
- per f minutes.
- So it's really not saying anything else.
- I'm just inverting the ratio.
- Or you could think of it as 1/f ponds per minute.
- Same logic right here.
- We could essentially rewrite this ratio as 1 over f plus 10
- ponds per minute.
- So now we have the rate of the faster hose.
- We have the rate of the slower hose.
- How many pounds per minute for the faster hose?
- How many pounds per minute for the slower hose?
- If we add these two rates, we'll know the ponds per
- minute when they're acting together.
- So if we have 1/f ponds per minute plus 1 over f plus 10
- ponds per minute.
- This is the faster hose, this is the slower hose.
- This'll tell us how many ponds for
- minute they can do together.
- Now, we know that information.
- They say the two hoses take 12 minutes.
- So let me write that over here.
- So combined.
- The combined take 12 minutes per pond.
- So what is their combined rate in terms of ponds per minute?
- So you could view this as 12 minutes per one pond.
- You could take the inverse of this or take the ratio in
- terms of ponds per minute instead and
- you get 1/12 minutes.
- Sorry, 1/12 ponds per minute.
- In one minute combined, they'll fill 1/12 of a pond.
- Which makes complete sense.
- Because it takes them 12 minutes to
- fill the whole thing.
- So in one minute they'll only do 1/12 of it.
- So this is their combined rate in ponds per minute.
- This is also their combined rate in ponds per minute.
- So this is going to be equal to 1/12.
- And now we just have to solve for f and then f plus 10 is
- going to be how long it takes the slower hose.
- So let's multiply.
- Let's see what we could do.
- We could multiply both sides of this equation times f and
- times f plus 10.
- So let's do that.
- So I'm going to multiply both sides of this equation times f
- and f plus 10 times both sides of this equation.
- So f and f plus 10.
- Scroll down a little bit.
- Scroll to the left, so we have some real estate.
- So let's distribute this f times f plus 10.
- So if we multiply f times f plus 10 times 1/f, that f and
- that f will cancel out and we're just going to be left
- with an f plus 10.
- That's when you multiply that term times the f
- times f plus 10.
- Now, when you multiply this term, when you multiply 1 over
- f plus 10 times f times f plus 10, this and this will cancel
- out and you're just left with an f.
- So you have plus f is equal to-- and you have over 12.
- Actually, well in a second, let me multiply all sides of
- this equation by 12.
- I'll do that next in a second.
- So let's just say this is going to be equal to 1/12
- times f squared.
- f times f is f squared.
- Plus 10f.
- And now let's just multiply both sides of
- this equation by 12.
- I could've done it in the last step so that we don't have any
- fractions here.
- And so the left-hand side we get 12 times f.
- We get 12f plus 120 plus 12f.
- The right-hand side, that and that cancels out and you are
- left with f squared plus 10f.
- And now we have a quadratic.
- We just have to get it into a form that we know how to
- manipulate or deal with.
- Before that, we can simplify it.
- We have a 12f and a 12f.
- So this becomes 24f plus 120 is equal to f
- squared plus 10f.
- And then let's get all of this stuff out of
- the left-hand side.
- They'll get all on the right-hand side.
- So from both sides of this equation, let's subtract 24f
- and a negative 120 or minus 120.
- So you have minus 24f minus 120.
- The left-hand side just becomes 0.
- That was the whole point.
- Right-hand side is f squared.
- 10 minus 24f is negative 14f.
- Minus 120.
- Now we could factor this.
- Let's see, if you do 20 timea-- yeah, that looks like
- it would work.
- So negative 20 and 6, when you take their product, give you
- negative 120.
- And negative 20 plus 6 is negative 14.
- So we could factor this right-hand side as 0 is equal
- to f minus 20 times f plus 6.
- When you multiply negative 20 times 6, you get negative 120.
- Negative 20 plus 6 is negative 14.
- And the only way that that's going to be equal to 0 is if f
- minus 20 is equal to 0 or f plus 6 is equal to 0.
- Add 20 to both sides of this equation.
- You get f is equal to 20.
- Remember, f is how many minutes does it take for the
- fast hose to fill the pond.
- And then, if you take this one, you
- subtract 6 from both sides.
- You get f is equal to negative 6.
- Now, when we're talking about how many minutes does it take
- for the fast hose to fill the pond, it doesn't make any
- sense to say that it takes it negative 6
- minutes to fill the pond.
- So we can't use this answer.
- We need a positive answer.
- So this is how many minutes it takes the fast hose to fill
- the pond. f is equal to 20.
- So this right here, the faster hose takes
- 20 minutes per pond.
- I'll write it here.
- 20 minutes per pond is the fast hose.
- And then the slower hose, it takes 10 minutes more.
- It's f plus 10.
- So it takes 30 minutes per pond.
- And we're done.
- I don't want to confuse you with this stuff.
- The faster hose takes 20 minutes.
- Slower hose takes 30 minutes per pond.
- If they were to do it together, it would take 12
- minutes, which is a little bit more than half.
- If you had two faster hoses, it would take 10 minutes.
- But this guy's a little bit slower, so it's taking you a
- little bit more than 10 minutes.
- So it makes sense.
- It takes you 12 minutes when they're working together.

Thank You :)
The Robsessed-DVD website has now taken down our content and went back to their original of promoting their crappy DVD. We never heard back from Revolver Entertainment but we assume they got our cease and desist.
We'd like to thank all our readers, our fellow bloggers, website owners (some of which aren't even Robert Pattinson/Twilight sites), our friends for their support. Plagiarism is an awful crime and we should always stick together to fight it.
Our stand on the DVD is still the same. It's unauthorized, Robert Pattinson is not getting a dime from it and they managed to anger us, the fan base by stealing. They claim it's an "all-access DVD" I wonder who/what else they "accessed" without permission.
It was unnecessary and a very bad marketing move. So:
We would also like to thank Gossip Cop for being objective and always debunking rumors, wrong gossip. You can read what they wrote HERE but this part is extremely important:
We find the unauthorized and often invasive exploitation of stars for profit to be heinous, especially when, as in this case, those stars have been particularly scarred by interactions with the media.
We're very encouraged to see fans stand up to shameless profiteering, especially when the offending party has wronged not only the celebrity, but also the fans who put time and effort into content without intending to make a dollar from it.
Kudos Gossip Cop!
Now let's go back to our Robert Pattinson coverage :) Have you seen the new Mexico pictures? Scroll down :))

Good for you for playing hard ball, Goz! We love you, and you keep, Dani & Kate keep us up to date on all things Rob. That DVD campaign is a joke. They have footage of things we can get free on you tube and random British people talking about Rob and his fame? Not must-see AT ALL! You are the only Robsessed!

Power of the people is pretty strong and it's awesome that gossip cop got on board as well.
We have no control at some of the things that done to Rob or said about Rob-but you can't ignore the fan base.

You are so right RHonda it seem to be just footage of random people and they even have people reading out quotes that Rob has said! Anyone that buy it is gonna be seriously disappointed!

Everyone remember, though. We should STILL be negatively rating their product on Amazon.com. Rob isn't making a dime from this, for one thing. They're adding to the creepiness of those fans who want to know everything about his PRIVATE life, for another. And third, they still had the BALLS to put that content on their website in the first place, which shouldn't have been done!

Not this again!!! Someone else trying to steal Goz and our content. Goz had to deal with this crazy lady before stealing our stuff 3 or 4 times. It's just ridiculous. But congrats Goz for getting on their asses real quick and shutting down that shit. You work too hard and we take out time in our day to comment...sometimes looking up info and sharing it. We are like family where we will joke around,fight, and in the end still love one another. Together we stand as one. Love you bitches!!!

Do not mess with ROB's fans or ROBsessed fans is all I am sayin'. Way to go to get this crappy site down and well here's hoping that this ridiculous DVD will flop BIG time...
Very happy for Gozde, Dani and Kate that this hopefully is over for good and that this will NOT happen again!
As for Gossip Cop I am SO happy there are ppl like that who are willing to seperate the truth from the dirt in showbiz! - October 9, 2009 at 1:09 AM

Thank you Goz and co for ROBsessed! My heart goes out to you and the community of ROBsessed for your dedication.
These people representing the rubbish DVD have probably learned a few things over the last few days, one can hope. Perhaps that creativity and originality is something one has to work for.
Even the cover of their DVD is a total rip-off of the excellent movie Trainspotting. - October 9, 2009 at 5:43 AM
- Leann said...
Wow...I saw this late last night and realized I missed what had been going on...I can't believe they had the gall to lift your posts right off of the blog, Goz! Stealing the name was bad enough. I figure I can still leave a comment on their Amazon page to warn people not to buy this crap, though. I don't know why people think they can do this stuff without fear of repercussion. Anything to make a buck, off of Rob and other people's creativity as well. Disgusting. Glad you at least had this small victory, Goz...now if we could get them to quit using the name, that'd be even better.

Wow! I'm gone for a little while and fit hits the shan!
I can't imagine how angry I would feel if someone ripped off my content so my heart goes out to you.
But kudos to you for standing up and making them back down! That's just plain effing awesome! - October 13, 2009 at 12:57 PM

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- Novak Djokovic returned to his dominant best to win his third consecutive Australian Open title, denying Andy Murray a second major championship with a 6-7 (2), 7-6 (3), 6-3, 6-2 victory Sunday night at Rod Laver Arena.
The top-ranked Djokovic is the first man in the Open era to win three straight Australian titles.
Born a week apart in May 1987 and friends since their junior playing days, the two played like they knew each other's game well in a rematch of last year's U.S. Open final won by Murray. There were no service breaks until the eighth game of the third set, when Djokovic finally broke through and then held at love to lead by two sets to one.
Djokovic also secured the second break of the match to take a 2-1 lead in the fourth set then went ahead by two service breaks and took a 4-1 lead when Murray double-faulted on break point.
Top-ranked Djokovic didn't rip his t-shirt off this time, as he did after his epic 5-hour, 53-minute win over Rafael Nadal last year. He just did a little dance, looked up to the sky and then applauded the crowd after the 3-hour, 40-minute match.
It was Djokovic's sixth major title and his fourth at Melbourne Park, where he is unbeaten in 21 matches.
Murray's win over Djokovic in the U.S. Open final last year ended a 76-year drought for British men at the majors. The 25-year-old Scotsman has now lost three Australian Open finals.
