ELKTON, Va -- Josh Gooden was just elected to the Elkton Town Council, shortly after graduating East Rockingham High School, but it is his young age, which he said will really help the council make better decisions for the community.
Josh Gooden is now a freshman at Bridgewater College. He said he may be young to be a part of Elkton's Town Council, but it is something he has always wanted to do.
"I've always been interested in being on the council, since middle school, and I've always attended the meetings for years and years, and I just find it interesting on how our town works and runs," said Gooden.
Theodore Pence has been on the town council for 10 years. He said Gooden will be a great addition to their local government.
"I think somebody that young can really help the community out and they must feel the same way because they voted for him and he got more votes than anybody," said Pence.
Gooden got more than 600 votes this election and that was why Pence said it is clear this small town supports him joining the council.
Pence has known Gooden for Gooden's whole life and he agrees with the town's decision.
"Josh is a good boy and I like him and I'm waiting to work with him as much as I can."
Gooden said he is excited to work with the other town council members too. He said his young age will bring a new perspective to the council and that will benefit Elkton.
"I think it's a really good balance to have older generations and younger generations work together to make good decisions," said Gooden.
Gooden said he is ready to balance his student-life with his town council responsibilities. He will be working on the town council for the next four years.

St. X alumni Chris Burke has made a name for himself throughout the baseball community both locally as well as nationally.
After graduating from high school Burke, a utility player known for his versatility- playing every position except pitcher and catcher, he made his way to Knoxville to play college baseball with the University of Tennessee.
Almost immediately Burke made a name for himself with the Vols being named to three All-America teams, as well as an All-SEC team for his work at second base.
It wasn't until 2001 though after moving to shortstop, that Burke helped get Tennessee to the College World Series.
With versatility in the field and a great bat it didn't surprise too many people when the young athlete went in the first round in the Major League Baseball draft to the Houston Astros.
Despite having a very successful run with the Astros including aiding the team in a National League Division Series win against the Atlanta Braves the Astros made the decision to trade Burke to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Astros/Braves game is notable, not only for the clinch playing of Burke but also because the game was over five hours long, it stands today as the longest playoff game in major league baseball history.
Since then he's bounced around with the San Diego Padres, the Cincinnatti Reds, and interviewed for a coaching position with his alma matter the University of Tennessee. Despite not getting the job there is still a relatively large grouping of UT vans that are vocal about their support of Burke, who was so successful as a player.
Recently Burke was also seen back in the Derby City playing with the Bats, until his contract with the Reds ended. He's since retired, giving speaking engagements and the like. Notably locally, he made an appearance at Louisville's Baseball Con as a speaker.

Review: Samsung 840 EVO mSATA 250GB
Samsung have taken the 840 EVO making it available in the much smaller mSATA form factor. There are few motherboards available which already have an mSATA slot available, but it is most likely that the 840 EVO mSATA SSD is aimed at the Ultrabook and laptop market. The Samsung 840 EVO mSATA utilises the now familiar Samsung MEX SSD controller, coupled with 19nm toggle 2 TLC NAND.
Samsung was kind enough to send me two SSDs for review. A 250GB model, and the world's first 1TB mSATA SSD. In this article I will be taking a look at the 250GB model, having covered the 1000GB model last week.
So let's find out how this new SSD performs in our range of tests.
Samsung company information
Samsung should need no introduction, but those of you who would like to find out more about Samsung, can do so at their website.
The Samsung 840 EVO mSATA – 250GB SSD
Now it's time to take a look at the drive itself and what it came shipped with.
The review sample I received was the full retail kit.
Samsung 840 EVO mSATA SSD full retail kit
The full retail kit contained the following items. The Samsung 840 EVO mSATA SSD itself, a couple of 'Samsung SSD activated' stickers, and an instruction and warranty information booklet.
Box front
Box rear
The software supplied, via download from the Samsung website, is as follows.
- Samsung Magician 4.3
- Samsung Migration software (not shown or tested)
Samsung Magician
The Samsung Magician software allows the user to maintain the SSD, and has the following features.
- Disk drive: Brings up useful information about the SSD, including its health status, and how much data has been written to the SSD.
- System info: Allows the user to see system and drive properties.
- Performance Benchmark: Performs a basic benchmark on the SSD.
- Performance optimization: Performs a manual TRIM of the SSD.
- OS Optimization: Allows operating system features, that can affect SSD performance, to be switched on or off.
- Firmware Update: Allows the Samsung 840 EVO mSATA firmware to be updated.
- Secure Erase: Sends a Secure Erase command to the SSD, clearing all NAND and returning the SSD back to its default factory state.
- Over Provisioning: Allows the user to set aside a given amount of NAND as a manual over provisioning area.
- SSD authenticity test: Checks to make sure that the SSD is a genuine Samsung SSD.
- Enable Rapid mode: Enables the NVELO 'Rapid' cache feature.
- Data Security: Applying 256-bit AES keys, the new self encryption feature allows strong data security, and is compliant with TCG Opal and IEEE 1667 standards.
Now let's head to the next page, where we look in more detail at the Samsung 840 EVO mSATA SSD…..

Shia LaBeouf in Talks to Join Brad Pitt in David Ayer's WWII Film FURY
A few weeks ago Brad Pitt dedicated himself to the lead role in End of Watch director David Ayer's World of War II film Fury. This story takes place in 1945 as the Nazi government fails and the five-man crew of an American tank called Fury combats with a hopeless German army. Pitt agreed to play the role of a sergeant named "Wardaddy" and it has been reported that Shia LaBeouf will be co-star.
Ayer wrote the script for Fury and with La Beouf on board, the film will success. He was most recently seen in Rober Redford's thriller, The Company You Keep and the Sundance film The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman. We discovered that he's looking forward to reunite with his Disturbia director D.J. Caruso on the spy film, Spy's Kid along with Roberty De Niro, but hopefully the production on Fury will be his next project. Fury hits theaters on November 14, 2014.

Top five Christmas shorts
I'm all for trying something a little more adventurous than your average party dress, so I've picked top five party shorts. How fun do the words party shorts sound? Anyway from the OTT high-waisted lamé shorts from American Apparel (where else?!) to the grown-up glam of French Connection's wool shorts you're bound to find something that suits you. Liven things up with a pair of patterned or coloured tights, or if you want to go for the bookish look try lace up shoes with a shirt and some sparkly tights for contrast.
Clockwise frim left: Dock shorts French Connection: £50. Metallic hotpant, Topshop: £30.
Richard Nicholl satin shorts, Browns: £325. Full Circle stripe shorts, Oli: £30.
High-waist Vegas short, American Apparel: £17.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Run it up the flagpole
Today we celebrate birth of the Maple Leaf
Forty-seven years ago today, I was an eight-year-old kid squatting impatiently on the chilly gymnasium floor at Glenmore Elementary School in West Vancouver.
I was surrounded by hundreds of squirming schoolmates and we were all sitting in a gigantic circle, at the centre of which stood a towering flagpole.
Next to the pole was our principal, whose name has been lost in the mists of time, and tucked under his arm was a mystery package. After a brief speech, also thankfully lost in the mists of time, he ripped open the package and pulled out a large rectangle of red and white fabric.
Aided by the school's ancient janitor, he lashed the rectangle to the pole and slowly hoisted it to the rafters, where it hung limply due to the fact there wasn't much wind blowing inside the gym that day.
It was the first time any of us had seen the new Canadian flag.
I'd like to tell you about the intense emotions that raced through me at that historic moment, but, what with being eight years old, I suspect the only things on my mind were the games my buddies and I would play at recess and whether my mom had again packed peanut butter sandwiches in my lunch box.
I wanted to share these memories with you because, as I am sure you are already aware, today is National Flag of Canada Day, when we celebrate the day in 1965 when our red and white Maple Leaf was first raised over Parliament Hill along with hundreds of communities throughout the nation.
Today, 47 years after I first laid eyes on it, I have finally figured out how I feel about our flag: I like it. I like it a lot. I do not wish to disparage other nations' flags -- festooned as they are with gaudy stripes and bars and rampant creatures and heraldic symbols and crests -- but I generally find them too busy for my humble Canadian taste.
The stylized red Maple Leaf flanked by two red bars is a lot like us -- understated but powerful. It stands out in a crowd. It's cool without trying too hard.
Being polite Canadians, however, most of us do not go in for hardcore flag-waving. The truth is, most of the time we only get warm and fuzzy over the flag when it's being raised during a medal ceremony at the Olympics.
Unlike some other nations -- which we are far too polite to mention by name -- we are not the sort of in-your-face flag fanatics who parade their patriotism in cheesy movies wherein aging actors prance about the ring clad in silk shorts decorated with our national emblem.
No, we only put our flag on things that are truly important. I am thinking here of hockey jerseys, the top of Mount Everest (thank you, Laurie Skreslet) and the uniform of Marc Garneau, the first Canadian astronaut in space.
When we are teenagers travelling through Europe, we also proudly slap the Maple Leaf on our backpacks, which gives us something in common with almost every American tourist we meet, if you catch our drift. As a crusading journalist, I called Guy Gauthier, owner of The Flag Shop on Pembina Highway for the last 14 years, to see whether he was expecting a flood of patriotic patrons for Flag Day.
"No," Guy confessed, "not really. We'll get the odd person. It's not on people's radar. It's one of those hidden dates. Canada Day is our main day that brings extra sales."
At Guy's shop, by the way, the Maple Leaf is easily the top seller, followed by our provincial flag and the U.S. flag, but there's a hot new kid on the block. "Sports flags are starting to be better sellers, especially now that we have the Jets," he beamed. "We've sold a ton of Jets flags. Not more than the Canadian flag, but it's definitely top five."
Which is nice, although our beloved Maple Leaf would only be dangling from trees today if it weren't for Lester B. Pearson, who, as prime minister in 1964, decided we needed a flag distinctively and unmistakably Canadian.
Not everyone agreed back then. Speaking in Winnipeg at a Royal Canadian Legion convention that year, Pearson was loudly booed when he revealed he was replacing the British Red Ensign, then our official flag, with a new design.
After months of bitter debate that divided the country, he handed the red-hot potato to a 15-member multiparty committee, which, after rejecting thousands of designs, finally opted for the single maple leaf.
So, yes, Canadians, we have our own flag. And today is its special day! Let's wish it a happy birthday and maybe tip our hockey helmets in a salute to its champion, Lester Pearson.
Because, for once, we can all be happy a politician left us flapping in the wind.
Unfurling flag facts
The inspiration for our flag came from Dr. George Stanley, dean of arts at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ont., who suggested a red and white single maple leaf design because it could be seen from a distance;
Stanley himself was inspired by the commandant's flag at the college, which featured a armoured fist holding three maple leaves on a red and white background;
Red and white were designated Canada's official colours in the proclamation of the Royal Arms of Canada in 1921 by King George V;
Our flag is twice as long as it is wide. The white square and its maple leaf make up half the surface of the flag.

After the airplane reached its cruising altitude of 3,000 feet, the engine lost power. The pilot cycled the magnetos and applied carburetor heat; however, engine power was not regained. The pilot then performed a forced landing to a field, during which the airplane impacted a fence. Examination of the engine revealed the magnetos did not produce spark when tested. The magnetos were disassembled and it was noted that the left magneto had a shorted condenser and the right magneto points were almost closed. The right magneto points were properly adjusted; the magneto was tested and produced spark. According to the aircraft maintenance records, the magnetos were last overhauled 40 years prior to the accident, and had accumulated 500 hours of operation since then.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Fauvism developed in France to become the first new artistic style of the 20th century. In contrast to the dark, vaguely disturbing nature of much fin-de-siècle, or turn-of-the-century, Symbolist art, the Fauves produced bright cheery landscapes and figure paintings, characterized by pure vivid color and bold distinctive brushwork.
When shown at the 1905 Salon d'Automne (an exhibition organized by artists in response to the conservative policies of the official exhibitions, or salons) in Paris, the contrast to traditional art was so striking it led critic Louis Vauxcelles to describe the artists as "Les Fauves" or "wild beasts," and thus the name was born.
One of several Expressionist movements to emerge in the early 20th century, Fauvism was short lived, and by 1910, artists in the group had diverged toward more individual interests. Nevertheless, Fauvism remains signficant for it demonstrated modern art's ability to evoke intensely emotional reactions through radical visual form.
The best known Fauve artists include Henri Matisse, André Derain, and Maurice Vlaminck who pioneered its distinctive style. Their early works reveal the influence of Post-Impressionist artists, especially Neo-Impressionists like Paul Signac, whose interest in color's optical effects had led to a divisionist method of juxtaposing pure hues on canvas. The Fauves, however, lacked such scientific intent. They emphasized the expressive potential of color, employing it arbitrarily, not based on an object's natural appearance.
Henri Matisse, Luxe, calme et volupté, 1904, oil on canvas, 37 x 46 inches (Museé d'Orsay, Paris)
In Luxe, calm et volupté (1904), for example, Matisse employed a pointillist style by applying paint in small dabs and dashes. Instead of the subtle blending of complimentary colors typical of Neo-Impressionism Seurat, for example), the combination of firey oranges, yellows, greens and purple is almost overpowering in its vibrant impact.
Similarly, while paintings such as Vlaminck's The River Seine at Chantou (1906) appear to mimic the spontaneous, active brushwork of Impressionism, the Fauves adopted a painterly approach to enhance their work's emotional power, not to capture fleeting effects of color, light or atmosphere on their subjects. Their preference for landscapes, carefree figures and lighthearted subject matter reflects their desire to create an art that would appeal primarily to the viewers' senses.
Maurice de Vlaminck, The River Seine at Chatou, 1906, Oil on canvas, 32 1/2 x 40 1/8 in./ 82.6 x 101.9 cm (THe Metropolitan Museum of Art)
Paintings such as Matisse's Bonheur de Vivre (1905-06) epitomize this goal. Bright colors and undulating lines pull our eye gently through the ideallic scene, encouraging us to imagine feeling the warmth of the sun, the cool of the grass, the soft touch of a caress, and the passion of a kiss.
Like many modern artists, the Fauves also found inspiration in objects from Africa and other non-western cultures. Seen through a Colonialist lens, the formal distinctions of African art reflected current notions of Primitivism–the belief that, lacking the corrupting influence of European civilization, non-western peoples were more in tune with the primal elements of nature.
Henri Matisse, Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life), oil on canvas, 1905-06 (Barnes Foundation)
Blue Nude (Souvenir of Biskra) of 1907 shows how Matisse combined his traditional subject of the female nude with the influence of primitive sources. The woman's face appears mask-like in the use of strong outlines and harsh contrasts of light and dark, and the hard lines of her body recall the angled planar surfaces common to African sculpture. This distorted effect, further heightened by her contorted pose, clearly distinguishes the figure from the idealized odalisques of Ingres and painters of the past.
Henri Matisse, The Blue Nude (Souvenir de Biskra), oil on canvas, 1907 (Baltimore Museum of Art)
The Fauves interest in Primitivism reinforced their reputation as "wild beasts" who sought new possibilities for art through their exploration of direct expression, impactful visual forms and instinctual appeal.

Dr. Spivey does it again!I am studying for an art history test, and fauvism is not something we covered in this class. We stopped at the end of the Industrial Revolution, but I have just loved learning about this subject so much I had to keep going! Thanks so much. This has been incredibly helpful.

Nancy Bush
The idea of bobbles, the Estonian nupps, is not new, aran sweaters have had them for as long as I can remember.
Nancy doesn't fully explain the rationale for Estonian knitters' decision to stitch numbers for the construction of the frame. One important aspect of the method of starting the row as if to purl is not stated at all; by this method you get clear loops, half the number of rows, from which to manipulate stitches for attaching the frame.
When you think of the cost of a DVD and compare to the content of free information made available on youtube by generous knitters , I think the DVD is expensive

This video has a wealth of technique and information for lace knitters and those who wish to learn. Although it is about Estonian lace knitting, the techniques are universal and with Nancys' clear and detailed instruction plus the excellent camera work, it's by far the best lace knitting video available. The book is not necessary but I recommend that you have it by your side as you begin - for quick reference and pictures (as well as the beautiful designs). With the DVD, you can replay the stitches and instructions as many times as necessary. I've made several of the scarves and shawls and I still use the video. Without this video I'd still be struggling to learn this skill. Thank you Nancy!

I love this book! It has a beautifully written account of Haapsalu knitting, gorgeous shawl patterns with very clearly detailed instructions and a DVD to illustrate the techniques. Nancy Bush has a well paced, calm and simple style of delivery and she illustrates the techniques so well making it easy to achieve wonderful results. My only criticism of the book (not Nancy Bush), which prevents me giving the book 5*, is that the chart patterns are fairly small. You can read them but it puts wear on the pages and I'll be making a few of these shawls! There is the suggestion that you enlarge the charts and photocopy. One problem with that is that some charts are printed into the spine of the book and it is difficult to flatten the pages to copy them without damaging the spine. I was disappointed that the charts were not available on the DVD to print out which would be the obvious solution to this problem. I have already made the Summer Shawl which involved learning the traditional Haapsalu technique of sewing on a lace edging and it is a really beautiful shawl. Now I'm knitting the Queen Sylvia shawl & I love the lily of the valley pattern on this. This book is a wonderful resource for lace knitters and is excellent value for money. Many thanks to Nancy Bush for producing it.

I love this DVD and the book, too. The history of the Estonian shawls is fascinating, and the techniques are lovely. After watching this DVD I think I could actually make one of these shawls! Nancy has a very calm and informative teaching style, which makes learning from her very easy -- even on one of these intricate shawls! Both the DVD and the book are worth every penny I spent on them! Highly recommended for those who love the look of these shawls, and for those who are interested in this aspect of knitting history.

I thought I couldn't knit, but lusted after one of these gorgeous shawls and scarves. My mind could not grasp the static pictures in books that showed how to do the stitches. I got the DVD 3 months ago, and I am now on my second project. I really can do it! The DVD enabled me to replay each stitch over and over while I copied her hand motions. Many practice swatches later to perfect the stitches, and I started my first scarf. I am doing the second now, and it gets easier and easier each row. I never could have accomplished this graceful and elegant style of knitting without the DVD. Many thanks!

As schools enter their final weeks of the 2012 school year, so too, does the regional phases of the Coca-Cola Schools T20 Competition. St Dunstans College of the Easterns region, continued their winning ways when they beat Hulwazi High School by 10 wickets.
Hulwazi batted first and were dismissed for 63 runs, with K Thompson taking two wickets for 17. Matthew Corin once again put his hand up in the St Dunstans reply, scoring an unbeaten 33 runs to lead his side to victory.
In the same region, Springs Boys High School produced a convincing 41-run victory over Kwa-Thema High School, while Höerskool Hans Moore held their nerve to complete a fine three-run victory over Höerskool Brandwag.
In the Free State, Höerskool Hentie Cilliers beat Welkom High School by 39 runs. Hentie Cilliers batted first and set a target of 101 for Welkom to win, thanks to W Beaukman's 40. Welkom's reply was not sufficient and they were bowled out for 61 runs with K Lucas and D van Wyk taking two wickets each.
It was a very close match for HTS Welkom and Höerskool Henneman. K van Zyl and E van Heerden both scored 41 runs to get Welkom to 135/5 at the end of their innings. K Pretorius fought valiantly for his side, scoring 41 runs but could do nothing about the wickets that fell all around him thanks, in part, to L Lesholi who took three for 26. Welkom won by a very narrow two runs.
In the Northerns region, T le Roux and R Lancaster scored 60 and 54 respectively to lead Montana High School to 164/4 in their match against Höerskool Oosmoot. Oosmoot's J de Beer was the only batsman to reach a half-century in reply, scoring 54 before he was dismissed. It was not enough to save the day, however, as Montana won by 49 runs.
Höerskool Swartkop beat Tuks Sport High School by 35 runs while Cornwall Hill College beat Garsfontein High School by four wickets.
In the North West, Höerskool Lichtenburg beat Schweizer Reneke by 19 runs while in the South Western Districts, Point High School beat Albertina High School by 131 runs.
In the Point/Albertina match, Pierre Swannepoel and Durant Lucas scored 82 and 54 respectively to put 182/2 on the board when they batted first. Albertina crumbled under the pressure bowling of Jayvier Denhing, who took a remarkable four wickets for three. He received good support from Louis Biziaco who took 3/21 and Dane Henegan who returned with 2/17.
The quality of cricket played has intensified with regional semi-finals and finals taking place in the first term of the 2013 year. Teams will make use of this last week of matches to ensure that they are in a good position going into the new year.

Where We Serve
Trinity Habitat for Humanity builds and rehabs homes in Johnson, Parker, Tarrant and Wise Counties.
Founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller, Habitat for Humanity International has built, renovated, tepaired or improved more than 800,000 quality, affordable homes and has served over 4 million people worldwide.
Habitat for Humanity volunteers, working hand-in-hand with the families they serve, build quality, affordable homes using donations of money and materials. Partner families, as our homebuyers are known, invest hundreds of hours of sweat equity in the construction of their homes. Once completed, they buy their homes, making monthly payments on an interest-free mortgage. Their house payments revolve back into Habitat's work; a dollar invested in Habitat is a buck that never stops — it just keeps building.
With more than 1,500 U.S. affiliates and 550 international affiliates coordinating Habitat house-building projects in over 3,000 communities around the world, Habitat has attracted millions of volunteers, from U.S. presidents to such celebrities as Cher, Reba McIntire and Oprah, to name a few.
Fort Worth Area Habitat for Humanity, Inc. was founded in 1989 as an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, serving Fort Worth and Tarrant County. In 2006, the name was changed to Trinity Habitat for Humanity to include the four counties we now serve. Having grown from a handful of dedicated founders into a volunteer corps of thousands, today Trinity Habitat for Humanity is ranked #20 out of 1,571 Habitat affiliates in the nation in new home production.
Non-proselytizing Policy
Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliated organizations will not proselytize. Nor will HFH work with entities or individuals who insist on proselytizing as part of their work with HFH. This means that HFH will not offer assistance on the expressed or implied condition that people must adhere to or convert to a particular faith or listen and respond to messaging designed to induce conversion to a particular faith.

A month ago, the Post spilled some details about Daniel Bouluds new French brasserie meets American diner, DBGB. Were now told there wont be a mere 24 draft beers, but at least four dozen! (May we put in a request for one of our favorites, Corsendonk currently on tap at Balthazar and Moto but at few if any others?) The heart of the bistro menu will be house-made sausages paying tribute to varieties from around the world (more currywurst?). Get ready now: Boulud is aiming for late April.

Keyboard fatigue? Now you can SCRAWL in Gmail and Google Docs
In an effort to make it easier to enter multilingual text into its online services, Google has added handwriting input support to Gmail and Google Docs. The idea is not so much that you'll ditch your keyboard and use your best mouse-based penmanship to compose emails and documents. Rather, the tools are aimed at letting Gmail …
What usage ?
I have had several devices, touchscreen laptop ( old resistance version), palm, 7" tablet and 5" smartphone on which I am/was capable of writing but unfortunately I never ever found the need.
I have scribbled a couple of notes on the Galaxy Note whilst doing some DIY round the house but it has never gone further than a noting couple of numbers or dimensions.
I honsestly can't think if a good reason for using the handwriting/scribbling that these devices offer. I have never owned a Wacom pad so I do not know if they are the same/better/worse or have other benefits, that's a bit out of scope anyway.
Does anyone actually use the handwriting/scribbling on a daily basis, if so for what usage ? Serious question, I would love to think that there is a usage for which I beneft ony ma current devices.
-------------->>>>>>>> Icon for inquiring mind
Practice practice
Not so much writing notes, as practicing writing Chinese characters. This with Google translate on GS4. It is quite reinforcing when you've gotten the strokes of a character close enough that it shows up in the possibilities window. Where else would I get that practice?
Who'd'a thunk it - a tool that can cause native users to forget how to write (b/c constantly using phonetic input method) can also be used to foster learning how to write for students.
Re: What usage ?
I use it all the time on my Galaxy Note 10 for note taking in meetings. The Samsung software doesn't actually work very well for this, so I just use Evernote with the Samsung OCR keyboard. I find it feels more natural than typing.
Re: What usage ?
I'm currently, painfully pecking this out on my iPad's onscreen keyboard. Which is nowhere near as well laid out as any of the Android or WinPho ones I've tried. One hand holds iPad, one types. Because I have to look at the KB, errors creep in, and have to be corrected. In a bloody different part of the damn screen to where the idiot Apple software engineers force you to look to type, because they apparently have never tested their own stupid product. GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I compare this to my old HP Windows convertible tablet, from 2007. Wacom digital pen held loosely in one hand, I could run the thing by touch and gesture perfectly. But for typing more than a web address, or for precise text editing, or sketches, the pen went to the screen and scribbled away. Bliss!
OK, the machine was too heavy, too hot, ran too loud and the battery life sucked, but I miss that pen, every day that I use my iPad. As Apple have decided to keep prices the same, my next tablet will probably be a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.
My friend designs handmade furniture and kitchens. He has the Galaxy Note 2. He takes a photo of the room, handwrites in the dimensions, and emails to himself and his PA for the project folder. Plus uses it to do his drawings. He says he uses it several times a day. As I recommended it to him, a technophobe, for this very reason, I'm quite pleased.
Re: What usage ?
Ahhh. Three quite different usages
@Notas : A learning tool.
I am not currently learning any other alphabet, I did learn to read and write Hebrew when I was younger and I can easilly understandy your usage method. Hebrew is nowhere near as complicated as Chinese but as an electronic/instant "character verifier" I can understand how I could have learned to write even quicker. If Google picks up the letter you obviously know that it is well written....
@Samuel : As a personal secretary/note taker.
Why is evernote an advantage, is it simply because Evernote is good a filing things later oe is there another reason. I have evernote bit I have always used the Samsung Apps for handwriting, I hadn't even considered the idea that I could use OCR with other apps, I need to give it a try.
@Spartacus : As a professional note/scribbling tool..
Yes, this was the closest example to what I have already been doing, except that I did not consider the idea of taking photos and annotating them, I always drew a very basic plan and added the dimensions. The final result wouild have been a lot clearer if I had thought of integrating the image.....( facepalm for me).
Interesting to see/learn how others can/do use it. I think I jhave been overlooking the fact that I only use in a standalone manner whereas each of you seem to use it in conjunction with others tools... I need to rethink my strategy.....
Re: What usage ?
Some people seem to actively like onscreen keyboards. You can get reasonably fast with them now, so long as you're willing to put up with some errors and then fix them in the text later. Which brings into play the clumsy poking at screen trying to get tablet to insert the cursor in the right place - something else a stylus is perfect at. Although on Android you have the option of Swype, which I've never had the chance to try sadly.
Others prefer the Blackberry style keyboards, which I dislike even more than touchscreen ones, as I have big hands. I guess in my case, it's because I'm a touch typist, so something that looks like a keyboard but I can only 1 or 2 finger type on annoys me. Whereas handwriting recognition is nearly up to full writing speed.
I found, in my tablet PC days, that the sylus was a natural fit in my right hand, between index and middle finger (and base of thumb), leaving my middle finger and thumb free to poke at the screen and do the odd gestures. That was partly the limitations of the old style resistive screens and Vista tablet edition, but mostly I could run it perfectly well on finger alone (until diving into weird settings menus) and the stylus was there because it was comfortable, and instantly available for writing.
There's a lot of ways of pushing notes you've taken through OCR - after you've taken out any diagrams you may have put in at the time. Which means you don't have to faff around in the meeting with concentrating on anything other than getting your notes down and the meeting. And of course, all your meeting notes are now automatically filed in date order - even if you haven't got round to naming the files.
Obviously sketching is one of the perfect uses of a stylus. My friend with his sketching on photos came up because I asked him to build a big corner cupboard for me. Because he was at mine for dinner, and we were discussing design, as well as talking about normal stuff, he rushed his measurements. So I got a call later, and had to do some of the measuring up myself. Whereas he now takes a photo when on site and sketches all dimensions on it, so he can instantly see if he's forgotten anything. Plus the workshop have a photo to consult when it comes to queries when building.
The reason I thought of all this is that we were talking yesterday. He told me that his clients are quite impressed with the shiny Galaxy Note 2 - as most haven't seen a phone that can do this stuff. He said, "they're mostly richer, brighter and have more gadgets than me". I should have commented at the time that I was one of his clients this year, so thankyouverymuch... Anyway yesterday he was with a client, and while she was making a cup of tea, he measured and sketched, took a photo of the antique handle on some piece of her furniture, and was able to send that off to his PA with notes scrawled on it, and by the time the client walked in with the tea, his PA had emailed him back a couple of matching options from their suppliers' catalogues. So he was able to turn to the client and show her the shinies available while discussing design options. This is obviously excellent for impressing clients - and that's probably half of the sale. The fact that he can sketch in 3D and upside down, while explaining a design idea to you is also pretty impressive...
But for a technophobe who struggles with all things computer - and couldn't even set up an iPhone - it's all worked rather well. And I suspect that sketching with a stylus comes more naturally.
Re: What usage ?
" I did not consider the idea of taking photos and annotating them, I always drew a very basic plan and added the dimensions. The final result wouild have been a lot clearer if I had thought of integrating the image.....( facepalm for me)."
Did you not SEE the adverts? Please say that you did and you didn't make a purchase "cause everyone else did"?
Re: What usage ?
It's all very well making that comment from the lofty heights of Mount Wisdom, Oh Anonymous One. But what you appear to be suggesting here is that he should base his buying decision on advertising! I'd say that having your purchase decision influenced by either peer pressure, or companies' advertising is pretty equal on the no-brain scale...
Re: What usage ?
Yes, the furniture example really strikes home the usefullness. A few days ago I took an picture of one of our racks and one of our patch panels, I then connected he note my PC, copied the image made a some annotations on it and then sent it to a coloeague. The idea never once struck me to annotate directly on the note...
Just for your info, I bought a note for the ability to surf the web on a reasonable sized screen. The fact that it also had the stylus was a bonus. No, I didn't see the ad for the sole reason that I do not possess a television.
So Google now knows, not just your name, address, DOB, etc.. but your handwriting/voice patterns. What next DNA/blood type/stool samples?
Is there ANY advice the great unwashed actually take?

Excellent Grip" by Mrs Stokoe
I purchased these clips over a year ago & they are still going strong! I use them to keep opened packs of food in the freezer ie. oven chips, frozen peas which are far easier than using the small plastic ties.
My favourite clip" by Lisa
I like these much better than the Klippits or Quick clips, more versatile, fit all bag sizes.

Game attendance for the South Bend Silver Hawks is on the rise, and the team is expecting a crowded stadium all year long.
The team has already seen a 105 percent increase in season ticket sales, and they expect to triple last year's seat-base before opening day. This follows a 68 percent increase in attendance during the 2012 season and seven sell-out games.
In order to help the Silver Hawks sell out even more games this year, they're hosting a special ticket sale Wednesday. Anyone who buys a ticket to any game will be entered to win an outdoor suite to enjoy the home opener versus the Bowling Green "Hot Rods" on April 4th.
Tickets go on sale at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. They can be purchased online or by calling 574-235-9988.
"This is always one of the most exciting days of the off season because it signals Opening Day is just around the corner," stated Joe Hart, Team President.

The Performance Centre is helping to spearhead a renaissance of dance in Cornwall, according to the co-organiser of a summer school for dance professionals.
Grace Sellwood and Emily Dobson put together a packed three day programme of intensive workshops in July 2011, as an extension of their weekly 'Freefall' contemporary dance classes in Falmouth. And The Performance Centre was the ideal venue for it.
"Having this quality of studio space available, together with the superb technical support, is convincing dance artists from all over the country to come down here and do workshops. It's a fabulous resource focussing people's attention on Cornwall and dance in the Duchy is now blossoming, which is brilliant".
She is certain that the superb facilities helped them secure the highest calibre of artists to run their programme of technical training and creative sessions. "I don't think we would have attracted them without it. They were all really excited by the luxury of finding the same professional standard of studio space that you would get in London, but in this beautiful place, surrounded by a relaxed and peaceful environment."
"The studios were a perfect size for the large amount of people attending and the natural light and beautiful views from the window gave inspiration to the dancers inside. It is not only a good space, but also a good atmosphere with like-minded people working around you and a strong community feel about it."
The 'Freefall' summer school set out to challenge professionals and training dance students technically and creatively, and it attracted a wide variety of participants, from teenagers to retired dance professionals.
Gemma Kempthorne, a dance practitioner from the Launceston area, said: "It was brilliant to have the opportunity to undertake such a diverse and high quality programme of dance without having to travel out of Cornwall."
Following the dance sessions, there were daily business skills workshops delivered by The Works Cornwall, focussing on the marketing and promotion expertise required by freelance workers.
Gemma found that aspect valuable; in common with many other performing arts professionals, her career has many facets. She is a member of the Rogue Theatre group, co-leader of Flexion, a youth dance company in North East Cornwall, and a freelance choreographer and performer. "The summer school was comprehensive and well-rounded, which made it particularly useful. Everyone who attended seemed to enjoy and benefit from it. It really was fantastic, and much appreciated."
As for the facilities, she said: "It is great that The Performance Centre is not going to be reserved just for students' use. The studios are brilliant and it was lovely to have access to them as a professional. It's good to know that Falmouth University is supporting the wider dance community."
