As I sit here researching topics and simultaneously adding to my ever growing schedule, I stopped when I found this on Pinterest. It made me slow down and allowed me to contemplate the new road I'm on. I realized I am the change, it starts with me and I am thankful to be so busy. At the end of the day after volunteering at my daughter's school, working, making dinner, cleaning up, helping my kindergartner with homework, laying out clothes for the next day and I can't even keep my eyes open anymore. It could be very easy to be grumpy and want alone time instead of playing with my little one and researching and writing for you all. I could make excuse after excuse and later regret it. But I'm happy to do all of that simply because I'm lucky enough to have so many meaningful things to do. I'm lucky I have a job, happy I have the opportunity to volunteer and contribute to my daughters education, I'm happy to have an amazing little girl that makes me laugh not matter what is going on, I'm lucky to have a forum to voice what I think, and even lucky that for all of you that care enough to read it. So yes I have in the past been grumpy and unhappy and full of excuses. But after months of sleepless nights and busy days and not excuses getting in the way, I can honestly say I'm happier now than I was when I was well rested.
During the first month of every New year, I think we all have these great expectations and we always think, "this year, this is the year I will loose those extra pounds, go for that promotion, take a vacation, reach for the stars".
Then as the months fly by nothing happens and we give up. Whether it's due to fear of failure, criticism, exhaustion, or it just seems to difficult. We give up before we even start.
There will always be an excuse you can come up with, to not do something. There will always be someone who will judge and criticize your choices. You will never be able to please everyone. You have to start with yourself.
At the end of the day we only have ourselves to contend with. Can we really live with the "what if"?

In August, 1947, Stan & Roy opened Stanroy Music Center. Stan ran it for 33 years before selling it to Tupper & Reed in Berkeley. Tupper & Reed ran it for 33 years before selling it to Dustin Heald and Steve Shirrell this afternoon, Friday, August 30th. With the right mix of passion, creativity, good sense, and good luck, we will celebrate Stanroy's centennial in 34 years! But today, we celebrate this precious opportunity of continuing (and, hopefully, ever-improving!) a resource that has been a part of our community for generations! Appreciative of our past and hopeful of our future, we thank all of you whose contributions have helped support Stanroy throughout its long history and all of you who have pledged to support it in its years to come!
Stanroy Music Center first opened its doors in August 1947 at 622 4th street when the first owner, Stan Goldman, returned to his home town of Santa Rosa after serving in various Army bands during WWII. From that original store, Stanroy had the spirit and desire to become the leading music store in the North Bay. In 1980 Wayne Anderson purchased the store from Stan and moved it to the previous 14,000 square foot location at 741 4th street. Since that time the store has continued to keep its commitment to the music community by offering rental instruments to school students, maintaining private teaching studios and having one of the largest instrument repair facilities in the state.
Stanroy Music Center, located on 4th St. in downtown Santa Rosa, Ca. for over 64 years is Sonoma County's only full service music store. We offer a wide selection of name brand instruments ranging from acoustic and electric guitars, basses, woodwinds, brass winds and violins. We also carry guitar and bass amplifiers, harmonicas, recorders, and all kinds of hand drums. We stock a full compliment of accessories for all your instrumental needs. We also offer a large selection of books and sheet music.
The repair shop at Stanroy Music Center employs four extensively trained instrument repairmen. Our facility is equipped for the full extent of brass and woodwind repair, including complete overhauls and reconstruction. The repair shop also provides a wide range of repair services for classical string instruments, folk instruments, amplifiers and PA gear.
Our educational department is second to none. We have twelve studios and over fifteen working, professional teachers providing hundreds of private lessons each week on a multitude of different instruments. Stanroy Music Center has the most experienced and comprehensive private teaching staff in Sonoma County.
Now, in it's 64th year, Stanroy Music Center has relocated and reinvented itself once again. The entire store has been moved to 640 4th St., including the repair and teaching facilities. We are very excited about our new location and look forward to showing you around.
Steve Shirrell and partner, Dustin Heald are as committed to the North Bay musician and musical community as Stan was 60 years ago. They invite you to discover Stanroy Music Center for yourself. Let us show you why we're the oldest full service music store in Sonoma County.
Mon – Thu: 10 AM to 7 PM
Fri – Sat: 10 AM to 6 PM
850 Fourth St.
Santa Rosa, CA
The new store is really well stocked! Come in and see the
new Stanroy 3.0.

Conroy claims first major apartment block is NBN ready
Summary: The Australian government is promoting one of the first major new apartment blocks connected to the NBN; however, it will not face the same issues that other apartment blocks have had connecting to the NBN.
Australian Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has claimed a win with the largest apartment block connected to the National Broadband Network (NBN). However, as a brand new apartment block, it did not face the same obstacles for installing fibre that have plagued NBN Co with other multi-dwelling units (MDUs).
Conroy today visited the new "Art on the Park" 36-storey apartment complex in Melbourne, with 376 units that will be able to connect to the NBN when residents begin moving in next month.
Labor's policy would be to deploy fibre into every apartment block, flat, and townhouse; however, NBN Co has found that multi-dwelling units represent a significant challenge for NBN Co, because each unit block is different and in varying condition.
Shadow Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has suggested that NBN Co should instead employ fibre to the basement, and then use the existing copper cabling in existing apartment complexes to deliver services. NBN Co itself recently admitted that it had assessed this option, but the company is bound by government policy to continue to deliver fibre to the premises (FttP).
Today, Conroy boasted that Labor's policy would deliver fibre to every apartment.
"Unlike the Coalition, Labor's NBN will deliver fibre all the way to all apartments in Australia for free," he said.
"The Coalition's inadequate broadband policy ignores people living in flats and apartments, leaving them to rely on the ageing copper for their broadband."
In response, Shadow Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull pointed out that the Coalition's policy has stated that new apartment complexes, such as the "Art on the Park" building, would get fibre because it is cost effective to install it there, unlike in existing apartment complexes.
"As to existing apartment buildings, Conroy claims the NBN Co is going to deliver fibre to all of those premises — battling with body corporates, drilling holes in apartment walls, nailing conduit to the side of the building if there is no room in the riser ... oh, it will be a fun old time running FttP into every apartment in Australia."
He said that it is "widely believed" that NBN Co had urged the government to change policy to fibre to the basement for apartment buildings, but this had been rejected by the government.
"Politics trumped common sense — not for the first time with this minister," Turnbull said.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I agree with you 100%. My son has a behavioral problem, but he isn't abusive. The principal said my son intentionally slammed his class room door on a girls fingers over and over. But from the teacher and classmates, it was a complete different story, and was an accident. He closed the door once and didn't notice the other childs hand was in the doorway. He was suspended from Kindergarten for 2 days. :(
Hopefully with the new adminstration appointed to this school for the upcoming 2014-2015 school year this will make this a great school to attend. THe previous principal (Haliburton and her puppets were rude,unfair & did many unethical things. However, some of the teachers were great obviously the ones who were not imtimidated by the adminstration staff. Hoping the changes with the adminstration for this year is to clean things up & run the school as it should.
school and teachers are great but principle Kimber Halliburton is awful. Never replied calls or emails
Excellent school. Good education. Nice teachers and staff. The buildings and the grounds are well-maintained.
Excellent school. Nice library. Good cafeteria. Someone in an earlier review complained about the restrooms, but I strongly disagree. Currently they are being well maintained. Thanks.
My daughter will be completing her 4th year at this school; however we still have our 1st year son attending, currently. This was great for my daughters education. The advance classes has challenged my daughter in many ways and help her to excel in her education/knowledge where I don t believe other school in the surrounding areas could have. She has been selected to enter Meigs for her middle school education next year and I believe her study at HVE was a great asset in her preparation for Meigs. And, as I understand, it too, is an academically challenging school. Thank to all the HVE teachers and its PTO for their contributions!! Go Houndogs!!!
It's ok but the bathrooms are nasty and some of the teachers are mean ok.
I am very pleased with this school. I think it says a lot about the community as a whole!
My little boy has a teacher who is terrific; she is smart, supportive, and he is learning and enjoying it. She is challenging him in areas where he is already ahead of his grade level. The principal & office staff have been great too, they are available and caring.
Our child transferred as the result of being re-zoned from another school. As the result, our child had a 'rocky' start. It would have been better if our child would have been zoned for this school from Kindergarten. This is part of Nashville's 'ugly' 30+ years of busing history. Thank goodness this is improving. However, overall we have been pleased with school once our child's needs were identified. We haven't been pleased with the library. It appears that children don't receive a lot of guidance from the librarian in terms of appropriate 'level appropriate books' that they need to choose. This responsibility appears to be left to the classroom teacher which already has 'enough on her plate'. We have NEVER seen the Principal. She was MIA from the Christmas program which we thought was not in appropriate. The VP is Awesome!!. The VP should be appointed as the main Principal.
We have had 2 teachers here so far, and both have gone to considerable lengths to hold back a gifted child. Our first grader was reading 3rd grade level, yet spent three months in AR reading 1.5 level, while testing 100% on 20 tests in a row and not being allowed to advance. Not a great school if your child is advanced or gifted. Too much focus on sit down and shut up. Given Study Island over Christmas vacation, completed entire first grade math and reading in two weeks - it took over 2 months and numerous phone calls and emails to get permission to advance to 2nd grade level.
This school is fantastic and has a very involved PTA. I loved that the teachers invited parents to be involved and found things for us to do. My son had a difficult transition into Kg and had a tough time with his teacher, but the school counsellor was great. My daughter had the best 1st grade teacher, Dr. Stewart and we would highly recommend her to everyone.
Overall, my daughter had a wonderful experience. All of her teachers (with the exception of one) set high expectations for everyone. She really learned a lot. The art and music programs are wonderful. I would love to see the P.E. program every day with more of a focus on learning new sports skills, etc.. Although I do believe the P.E. teachers do the best they can 2 days per week. I would also have loved for my child to learn some foreign language. This school is more truly diverse than most in Nashville. My daughter's good friends had parents from Russia, India, Jordan, China, and Iraq. All of the parents expect great things from their children. The principal, however, is not my favorite person. She can be very sour and unfriendly. The only time I went to see her in 5 years she was not helpful or understanding.
My daughter attends Kindergarten at HVS and has had the best experience. The school community is like a large family. The teaching staff is amazing in their ability to reach out to their students and get results not only in reading and math, but also higher level thinking skills and character education. I would trust my children to any teacher in the school and I know my daughter will flourish at HVS. There has been some school construction lately to add a wing to the main building, so look past the portable classrooms in the front yard, they are temporary. This school is great, and my daughters and I look forward to many happy years at HVS.
I have 2 girls in this school and 2 that are now in middle and high school. I think that this is likely the best elementary school in Middle Tennessee.
Gym is small. Limited playground area. Very unkept. Bathrooms were smelly and dirty. About disappointment with curriculm our child will be enrolled in a local Christian school in the Fall.
Playground is large, with two-year-old wonderful equipment. There is a separate, fenced, kindergarten playground. The school is brick, with new paint every few years on doors and inside. Entry area is huge, with an indoor garden and seating. Beautiful.
All three of my children attended about 9 years ago. As a family being part of this school, our experience was wonderful. The parent envolvement, teacher-parent enteraction, even the environment was a pleasant setting for my children to gain the education they deserved. My oldest has now graduated High School and has enlisted in the US Marine Corp. To this day she talks about her elementary school. Thanks for everything. I'm glad to see the school and staff still hold up to the very best standards.
My two children, first and thrid graders, attend HVS. I am a VERY busy single mom, and the teachers and staff have gone out of their way to accomodate me in terms of school meetings. My children love their school and all of the activities offered. HVS is the highest ranked school in Nashville and it is easy to see why.
This is the best elementary school in the Nashville metro area. It has the best test scores, has nice facilities, a great staff, and great parent involvement. My two children both attended.

Line the baking sheets with aluminum foil or wax paper. Preparing the baking sheets ahead of time ensures that you have a place for the candy apples to harden. Spray the aluminum foil with nonstick spray to prevent them from sticking.
Easiest Way to Make a Lot of Candy Apples
Coated with a hard sugar candy coating and served on sticks, candy apples are common at fairs, festivals and parties. The easiest way to make many candy apples is to determine how many apples you wish to make so you can prepare the apples ahead of time. Taking the time to make the candy apples properly makes the task easier to complete because you will not run into any problems. Once the apples are dipped in the sugar coating, you just have to wait for them to harden before serving them.
Things You'll Need
- 3 or 4 baking sheets
- Aluminum foil or wax paper
- Nonstick spray
- 16 apples
- Paper towels
- Bowl
- Wooden skewers
- 2 cups hot water
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups light corn syrup
- Saucepan
- Candy thermometer
- Pastry brush
- 1 cup red cinnamon candies
- Plastic wrap
Wash the apples under cool running water. Dry them with paper towels and place them into a bowl.
Remove all the stems from the apples. Insert the skewers directly into the stem end of the apples. Push the skewers down halfway into the apples so they remain secure.
Prepare the candy solution for the apples. Combine 2 cups hot water, 4 cups granulated sugar and 2 cups light corn syrup into a saucepan. Double the recipe if you need to make more than 16 candy apples. The doubled recipe will make 32 candy apples.
Place the ingredients over medium-high heat. Stir the solution until the sugar dissolves. Rinse the sides of the saucepan with a wet pastry brush to prevent the sugar from crystallizing. Wipe the wet pastry brush around the inside of the saucepan every five minutes.
Cook the candy solution until it reaches 250 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer. Avoid stirring the candy solution after the sugar dissolves.
Add 1 cup of red cinnamon candies to the solution. Stir the candy solution to mix the red candies. Continue to rinse or wash down the sides of the saucepan until the candy solution reaches 285 degrees Fahrenheit to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the solution from the heat. Stir the candy solution until it appears even and smooth.
Grab one apple by the skewer and dip it into the candy solution. Tilt the pan at an angle and rotate the apples to cover them in an even layer.
Remove the apple and twist it to remove the excess candy solution. Place the candy apple onto the prepared baking sheet with the stick facing up. Continue to dip all the apples.
Let the candy apples cool to room temperature. Serve the candy apples or wrap them in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- Humid weather may make it difficult for the sugar to harden. Place the apples in the refrigerator to help the coating to harden. Reheat the sugar coating on the stove top if it becomes too thick to dip the apples. If you need to make a larger amount of candy apples, make them in batches for best results.
- Always monitor the candy coating carefully to prevent overcooking it, which can ruin its texture.

Happy Birthday Brigid, Jr.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I'm not sure where the phrase came from, but in looking at our children, those we love, it stands to reason. When we hold them for the first time, we move with such caution, speaking in hushed tones, recognizing something within us that had always slumbered, sightly alive, just waiting to be born.
I didn't meet Brigid Jr. until she was in college. It was an open adoption. I always knew where she was, who her Mom and Dad were. I had OK'd every detail of the small, home town adoption arranged through the local doctor. But I'd made a promise not to try and contact them or see her until she could make that decision for herself and if the decisions was not to acknowledge me, I would respect that. They in turn said they would support whatever made her happy. I was 18 years old.
I moved from the State, finding it easier to keep my promise from a distance. I'd like to say the span of years passed quickly, but the reality was more protracted. There's a line in Shakespeare's Othello that says "There are many events in the womb of time that will be delivered". Womb of time? Yes. The sweat of endurance, the agony of spreading bone. Nothing worthwhile is easy or quick, but oh, at the end, it is worth the travail of time.
When we did meet, several things struck me, especially in that I had not seen her since birth. She looked exactly like me. Not just the face, the coloring, the unusual almond shaped eyes . We had the same, identical haircut, identical ewer, and the same color shirt. We ordered the same item on the menu, had the same habits, the same mannerisms, the same laugh. It was almost spooky. OK she liked Glocks and I liked Smith and Wessons, but still. Yet she is who she is, the loving heart, the talent, the drive, from the two wonderful people who raised my child, their daughter, one Hawaiian, one Irish.
Genes or environment? Who's to say. It's both, it's neither, it's something we can only watch in wonder. But whether they are like us, or simply their own person, we see something in them. We see a journey, ours, theirs. We're the rim and they're the spoke, spreading out, seeking ground, moving away, yet always close to us. We're both a part of a journey that is worth every bit of the wear, every mile.
Such thoughts came to me when I was out in the field, within that quiet, questing about the scene, gathering, watching. It's harder in that sometimes children are involved. But underneath my gear, I felt the trace of a wallet in my back pocket, in it a well worn, tear stained photo of a beautiful, fair haired girl with blue eyes.
It's why I do what I do. It's why, when we look in to the trusting eyes of a child, we see, not ourselves, but the foretaste of responsibility, the fierce need to keep them safe, no matter what.
And so it was I reflected on such things, that last day out in the field, looking up at branches shattered by forces bigger than themselves, hanging in the air as if part of the earth was thrust upward, a spectral tracing to a loss more profound than simply lost years.
Somewhere that night a family would grieve. Somewhere that night, through no effort of mine but a heart laid wide open, my child lay safe.
I looked up at broken trees to a heaven unbroken and simply said thanks.

Brigid, I speak from the other side of the equation...my children are not biologically my own, but I love them as fiercely, if not more so. I'm blessed to be given the opportunity to raise these three little girls, to have them call me Mommy, to share in their lives daily (even when I'd like to *cough* share them with the nearest gypsy troupe). I only wish that their biological parents had been as wise as you, and chosen to give their children what they could not.
I have no idea of the circumstances surrounding Brigid Jr.'s parents, if they had children and completed their family with her, or if she, like my girls, came to a couple who could not have children of their own and wanted them desperately. I'm glad you see her adoptive family as a blessing all the way around.
I watch my children, and I wonder how much of their biological parents' genetics will out, and how much the love and nurturing my husband and I provide will balance those out. When I come face to face with my girls as adults, will what I see be the mirror only of their genes, or also a reflection of our raising them? Your words give me hope that I'll see myself in them, as much as I'll see those who gave them life.
Thank you.
Happy birthday to Brigid Jr, and blessings for you both!

Happy Birthday Brigid Jr.!
Here's hoping that she does not receive too many "combination" presents, the curse generally landed on those people whose birthdays fall within a month of Christmas. Of course if the gift is something used at the range, that might be forgiven.

|Two (2) Coats of China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le and One (1) Coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le is well, the color periwinkle. It's a lavender-blue or pastel indigo. I suppose it depends on what lighting you're looking at the color, whether it appears more blue or purple. My camera doesn't photograph blue-purples well, but I think in person the color is the slightest bit more purple.
The formula is pretty decent. It's creamy, applies easily and dries fairly quick. I did find the 2nd coat to apply slightly streaky, and I could have done with three coats for full opacity.
Overall very pretty color and will look great paired with the neutral colored clothing I tend to wear most of the time. I actually purchased this polish last summer and never wore it until now.. funny, huh?
What's on your nails?

resubmitted with a minor correction I have used Garam Masala since 1975 since I could not buy it in the US then. THe above recipe given by the renal dietian is NOT a very good recipe for garam masala. This one I have made many times, straight from an Indian cook book. 5 three inch pieces of cinnamon sticks 1 whole cup cardamon pods -green cardamon is much better and be used for some pretty delicious tea called chai) 1/2 cup whole cloves 1/2 whole cumin seeds 1/4 cup whole coriander seeds 1/2 cup whole black peppercorns preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Spread the spices in one layer in shallow roasting pan. Roast on the bottom shelf for 30 minutes, stirring and turning the mixture 2 or 3 times with a large spoon. DO NOT LET THE SPICES BROWN, this meansd that they are burnt and will taste awful. When the spices cool, break open the cardamon pods between your fingers, and pull pod away from the seed. Set the seeds aside. place the roasted cinnamon stick's between two layers of a folded linen towel and pound them with a rolling pin until they are finely crushed. combine all the seeds and crushed cinnamon in one bowl and stir well. Then use a spice or coffee grinder a cup or so at a time, blending at high speed for 2 or 3 minutes until the are completely pulverized and become a smooth powder. Transfer it to a jar or bottle with a tightly fitting lid, it can be stored in at room temperature and retain full flavor for 5 or 6 months I get my whole spices from a bulk food store, or try an East Indian food store You are going to feel like the best chef anywhere Cheyl Myers 5/20/2011 cher183001

Smartphone and tablet displays: Reg readers weigh in
In January 2012 we ran a Reg reader survey to find out what you think about your smartphones and tablets, and the results are now in. Given the diverse range of device sizes now on the market we were interested in your take on what size you like your device to be. In particular, we wanted to see whether bigger does equal better …
What do they expect to see?
Not entirely sure what the people who wanted a Full HD 3.5" screen are expecting to see - given that I can *just* make out some pixels on my iPhone, if I hold it as close to my eye as is possible to focus. Presumably this is just the usual "bigger number in the spec list is better" thing...
Re: What do they expect to see?
Not sure if this applies to iPhones, but typically you can connect current Android phones via an adapter to the HDMI input on your TV. That doesn't explain why you would have 1080 display resolution on such a tiny screen, but it does perhaps explain the presence of hardware and software to handle it.
"1020p full HD"? Is that Apple doing their own thing again?
You lose 60 to that darn Apple tax...
There is a send correction button, you know.
where is the fun in that? When you can post a comment and make a cheap joke.
WE knew this 30 years ago
It was just too expensive then
More than 4.5" and you need to keep the width the same. maybe 2.4:1 rather than 1.85:1 (16:9) to get any bigger screen and still fit in pocket.
For Tablet overall size including case needs to be about Clipboard / Letter Size / A4, thus the 11" screen.
You need minimum 133dpi on a 11" or larger screen and about 266dpi minimum on a phone as it can be held closer.
Desktop/Laptop minimum either 15" 4:3 or 17" Widescreen, minimum 1200 pixels high, ideally more.
HDTV for 2.4m distance viewing, 42" screen. Needs quite large text and GUI that works without Touch, Mouse or QWERTY.
These need four different GUIs. Trying as per Win98 and WinCE *OR* as per Win8 to use the same "home screen" and GUI on the full range is stupidity.
Mine's the one with a Tablet pouch :-D
Re: WE knew this 30 years ago
Agree completely mostly we've known for 30 years or more what is desirable, its only recently become possible to build devices with adequate capabilities at mass market affordable prices. I've been keen on the idea of detachable touch evolution from clamshell notebooks since the 90s, taken a long time but getting there now. Hopefully devices will grow even less intrusive and awkward if we can keep shrinking tech, nothing magical about direct to retina projection just a lot of hard work to make it happen.
Theres a considerable variance in individual visual acuity out there so the first thing anyone designing devices or software (or reviewing) needs to do is recognize this and not pontificate on personal observation. Hand size variation. Particularly with phones, the one size fits all model is fundamentally flawed.
However still leaves some good rules of thumb like 4.5" being sweet spot for handheld for the majority of adults.
Nowadays, most of us would benefit from an 7/8" pocket sized screen, an 11" screen and a 16" screen, each is beneficial for some modes of use. There is no perfect tablet size for all uses so a bit daft to ask what size you prefer. For many work and leisure activities, 24" to 32" sometimes multiple screen configurations are useful too. Obviously dpi depends on typical viewing distance and individual eyesight factors but crazy to argue whether clear text is desirable. TV in the lounge context, anywhere between 40" to 60" and higher it all depends on room dimensions and social requirements.
Although the idea of an identical UI can't work over these different sizes, use scenarios, and mouse keyboard touch gesture voice input methods theres no reason a single approach to UX can't work over a wide range of devices, at least avoiding conceptual discontinuities. We don't need a bunch of totally different GUIs IMO. We already see attempts at this in web browsers, Android, iOS and Windows 8 although each has a way to go.
Re: WE knew this 30 years ago
Yes. Yes. YES!
Thank god for someone who knows what they're talking about.
Can we please end this one-GUI-for-all-sizes nonsense right now.
Are you listening Mr Shuttleworth? (Love Ubuntu, hate Unity on the desktop.)
Re: WE knew this 30 years ago
Mostly agreed, but ...
Desktop/Laptop minimum either 15" 4:3 or 17" Widescreen, minimum 1200 pixels high, ideally more.
For laptops -- laptops that are actually going to be carried around, rather than simply desktop machines that look like laptops -- if the screen is as big as 15" the weight of the device becomes a problem. Lighter components, stronger chassis materials, and better battery technologies are helping ... but I'd say that the ideal laptop is in the 13.3" to 14" and weighs less than 2kg.
Even so, the screen needs to have at least 1200+ pixels vertically. No question.
for 2.4m distance viewing, 42" screen.
I bet M$ would still claim you need touch even at a 2.4M viewing distance. Otherwise how are you going to compete with the cool kids.
5.5" phone screen
I've had the Note II since October and been fairly happy with it overall. The size is just about manageable, but lately I've become irritated by it being a bit unwieldy if you want to take a quick pic one handed (while pushing a pram, holding kids hand etc).
So, one extreme to the other, mid way through my contract its going and I'm giving the wife's iphone 4S a go when she upgrades. That'll be interesting after 3 years of using 3 different android phones.
5.5" down to 3.5" screen... I find myself giddy in anticipation of what I'll do with the spare pocket space.
Re: 5.5" phone screen
I recently had to use my old Nokia 5230 touchscreen phone that I keep in the car for the satnav (free maps and low battery drain) instead of my Galaxy Note (I'd left it in in the house whilst I popped out to the garage, not intending to need to go out). I had exactly the same thoughts as you, but the other way around - the tiny phone was just soooooo unwieldy. The buttons were hard to find and use, and it just didn't sit comfortably in my hand like the Note does.
This thing about "one-handed-use" in the article - is that really such a big thing? I certainly never use a phone one-handed, regardless of size. Firmly grip with one hand, press buttons with fingers on the other hand - sensible, no?
Re: 5.5" phone screen
" I've become irritated by it being a bit unwieldy if you want to take a quick pic one handed (while pushing a pram, holding kids hand etc)."
"Pushing a pram"? I've never heard it called that before etc.
Seriously is life so full of occasions that must not escape unphotographed that this is a genuine irritant?
Re: 5.5" phone screen
It's not the only irritant, but yeah... I like to take a lot of pictures. Although most get deleted later.
To be fair the Note is tired now. It's had very, very heavy use since early January. I've been in and out of hospitals fighting the good fight against cancer. It's probably had two years regular use in 3 months. Frankly the sight of the thing reminds me of the smells of the hospital and the nausea of the chemo.
Also, I kinda wanna scratch the iOS itch while I can do it for free.
January 2012?
"In January 2012 we ran a Reg reader survey" Really? Nobody noticed? Is it just me?
Re: January 2012?
Maybe not just you, given the number of respondents, but I saw it and took part. I do remember thinking that the newsletter heading could have been a bit less opaque, though.
Re: January 2012?
And indeed the results are finally published 15 months later? Was it done by the same people that the government use?
Re: January 2012?
@Intractable Potsherd
I think he meant the "2012" which probably should have been 2013 for the results to have any relevance. I'm assuming it's a typo and not that it's taken them over a year to collate and draw anything useful from the data.
Re: January 2012?
Let's hope so! 15 months is long time in smartphone technology - in fact it's pretty close to the duration of my own 'refresh cycle'.

No one ever got fired for buying enterprise storage, right?
The concept of enterprise storage - kit sold by large companies who charge very high margins for providing hardware and support services - is more or less done. Sound like a rash statement to you? I'll explain what I mean. Pretty much all the functionality that you might expect to be put into a storage array has been done and …
Interesting idea
I can see some merit to it, but you've missed the most important part, people don't buy expensive tier 1 products mainly for their features. They buy it for the reliability and support.
There have been lots of free alternatives to major storage platforms for a while, think of OpenFiler, Nexenta and certain VSAs. But I personally would not deploy them on our business critical infrastructure. While I could probably fix most problems after a while, but with business critical infrastructure you do not have that luxury of time. So if its deployed on commodity hardware that we built ourselves, which cavalry do you call when the chips are down?
Because storage is only about feature sets and cost? Really?
As a man who gets to see and hear the childish foot stomping of customers when their 'cheap' but 'feature complete' storage' implementation has their business on it's knees, you'll forgive me if I just move on by and ignore this blather.
I think you missed this line:
" If you want an example of how it should be done, look to Red Hat and how it competes with free; it competes on service and support."
Yes, we know, free is better... how come Microsoft sell so many Windows licenses? How come so businesses put their mission critical systems on paid for OSs, it's not like Linux can't run their systems, is it? Yet still businesses keep paying out for OS licences.
I do wish people would get past this 1990s theory that the only thing which matters to business is cost, and that therefore 'free' will win the day. It wasn't true for desktops, it isn't true for servers, it won't be true for storage.
There is most certainly a place for 'free' just as there is most certainly a place for commodity, but it isn't everywhere for very specific reasons which aren't just about 'cost'.
The comparison of Windows vs Linux is not applicable here, as the main deciding factors are usually related to COTS applications and user identity management. Windows did not succeed on initial quality, but on being cheaper and being usable on more commodity hardware compared to the OS of the day.
Even today the up-time for your server will be less about the OS choice and more about the hardware quality and your BOFH's ability to defend it.
The issue here is one of quality of software and support, and it is likely that some customers will stick with EMC, etc, hardware as being a safe bet, but in time the major vendors will have to learn the lessons of the past where comodity hardware decided OS sucess, in turn driving the high end market.
the main deciding factors are usually related to COTS applications and user identity management
Maybe in the world you work in, not in the one I work in. I only used Windows as an example, despite not working with it. I think you should revisit your thoughts about why Windows succeeded though.
Businesses would love to run free and OSS products and a lot do but ask most business why they choose RedHat or Oracle EL over CentOS for critical platforms and the answer in plain language is, support or "I get to shout at someone when things go wrong.".
Yes there are shops who happily run 100% free platforms but they're prepared to bump up the staff they have to compensate for any possible fear over reliability. You hire shit-hot engineers and designers who can build in the redundancy you may need when you're on your own and no one is coming when it fails, then you make time to test it to destruction.
Ultimately when shit hits the fan at 2am on a Sunday morning and your storage array is eating dirt, your app/db servers are dead in the water and you can almost see the money haemorging out the door, you need to your staff to have access to the best support desk options and knowledge bases available on a particular product so they can get it back up and running ASAP. You either get them the knowledge they need to do it on their own ( by paying a lot for top-notch bods ) or you support them by paying a vendor's high support costs to give piece of mind, either option still costs lots of money.
A lot of the comments are rightly saying that it's the support which is an important differentiator.
We can compare tick-lists of features and we can compare the price or total cost of ownership, yet how can we compare support? AC says "paying a vendor's high support costs to give piece of mind" yet in my experience none of the vendors would ever give me peace of mind, whatever the price, as their quality of support when you actually need it is usually abysmal.
Symantec has been selling Storage Foundation for a decade if not more. They have had a very TIGHT compatibility list of what hardware to use from storage to HBA's to servers. They say "buy commodity hardware, use our software." Well it sucks and can be plagued with a lot of fingerpointing from various vendors. e.g. too slow of disk, wrong HBA driver/firmware, Multipathing issues, etc. This mantra has been used in PureDIsk, NetBackup, etc too. There are other vendors like FreeNas and the like that offer this as well.
What is predicted in this article is years and years off. It's been done for years, but getting it right has never been possible. This is why the HDS, EMC's, and Netapps of the world continue to operate and work. Because their wares have proven themselves. Sure a startup will spin a compelling story, but for what? Some budget conscious admin that likes to be on the bleeding edge? Yeah good luck with that.
I'll put my trust in a proprietary piece of hardware from a major vendor that's been tested to destruction, backed up with a decent 4 hour on site call out support contract, over a collection of cobbled together second hand bits of server farm found rusting in the back of a store room with a generic storage app running on it. Thanks...

Norwich City's Luke Daley has joined Boro on loan
Friday, January 21, 2011
GRAHAM WESTLEY says he is delighted to have signed Luke Daley from Norwich on an emergency one-month loan deal.
It's no secret Boro have often struggled for goals this term and the Boro boss is hopeful his new signing will have a positive impact during his stay at the Lamex Stadium.
Westley's interest in the 21-year-old stems back to last summer when he spoke with Canaries boss Paul Lambert about his potential with a view to bringing him to Stevenage on loan. However, a thigh injury which has kept him out for a large part of the season meant any hopes of signing the player were scuppered.
The Boro boss revived his interest in the winger last week, though, when he travelled to Norwich to watch him in a reserve team fixture and admits he was excited with what he saw.
He said: "The way he used his pace to take the ball round people was very exciting to watch.
"It would be wrong to put unnecessary on him but he's got a chance now to come in and show us what he can do."
Westley wouldn't reveal whether he would throw Daley straight into tomorrow's starting line-up against Morecombe but says it's likely he will be involved at some stage.

Japanese social and mobile games company DeNA has recently reported their fourth quarter and fiscal year results, totaling $393 Million and $1.38 Billion, respectively. This fiscal quarter figure represents a 67.5 percent increase over the previous years' Q4 numbers. Additionally, this increase now sees DeNA reporting it's sixth consecutive quarter of increased revenues, resulting in an achievement of the firm's goals, raking in a massive $1.38 Billion in sales for the fiscal year.
"DeNA has met, if not exceeded, every goal we set for the company," Tomoko Namba, CEO, DeNA, said in a statement. "We are very pleased and proud of our exceptional year in sales. Our diverse catalog, market expanding strategies and dedication to leadership in technology has fueled our global growth. We are looking forward to making our social mobile platform for games, Mobage, truly global in the coming year."
DeNA's success is attributed largely to their expansion of a number of their Mobage Open Platform titles. This expansion arrived for both in-house and third-party titles, bringing the numbers up to 1000+ available titles within the network. Likewise, DeNA decided to eliminate the brand-schism, and homogenized it's Mobage brand, replacing the Mobage-Town moniker in Japan with a unified Mobage. This consolidation arrives just months before DeNA plans a release of the Mogabe product lineup to Western markets.
While DeNA may have suffered a blow via the acquisition of OpenFeint by competitor GREE, their plans to head West haven't been dashed. The company has charted what they believe will put them on the top in this new market via a multi-pronged attack. OpenFeint may have gone to GREE, but don't forget that DeNA also has their own feet on the ground with the acquisition of ngmoco, as well as mobile app studio Gameview. And now that they've got the IP in place, the company has also struck major deals with carriers, least of which being Japan's NTT Docomo, as well as providing for a device to play on, with a Samsung deal leading the way.
Looking forward, DeNA is projecting a massive growth rate, and the spoils of war that come with it. The firm is indicating that 2014 will see a $2.4 Billion operating income, primarily based on the expansion of Mobage, as well as their Open Platform/X-Border/X-Device offerings in Japan, China, North America, and Europe.
And while DeNA may be celebrating a healthy lining of the coffers, the Japan based company did take pause, and noted that in response to the devastating earthquake(s) and Tsunami, they've made major donations to humanitarian relief efforts, as well as opening their doors to employ persons from affected areas.

By Kia Croom, Contributing Writer Richmond Native Rochelle Monk, a dedicated city administrator and community volunteer, is one of five individuals selected to receive an award from the Fifth Annual Judge George Carroll Community Service Awards program sponsored by the Black American Political Action Committee (BAPAC) of Contra Costa County. Growing up, Monk was always highly ambitious and seemed destined to achieve success in the private sector. She started her career as an administrative assistant for Bank of America, a position she held for four years. Although she was knee-deep in her career in San Francisco, she could not help but feel she was out of touch with the Richmond community. She yearned to reconnect in some way. So, when an opportunity arose to work in her beloved city as an office administrator managing a Bechtel Corporations project, Monk seized it. After three years at Bechtel, she was approached by then City of Richmond Employment and Training Director Isaiah Turner with an offer to help launch a city construction job-training program. Although initially apprehensive, she took a leap of faith, becoming a Richmond public servant. "Working for the City of Richmond has allowed me to do what I love best: serve. I don't take this opportunity lightly," she said. "I believe even a few good, sincere men and women can make a difference in our community. Richmond is a jewel." Since then, Monk has worked for the city as a community affairs coordinator in the City Manager's Office. She was recently appointed by Mayor McLaughlin and City Manager Bill Lindsay as Chief Service Officer, responsible for developing and implementing the City Service program, which engages citizens to address critical needs through focused and high-impact volunteering. In her spare time, she volunteers at her children's school, supports a host of nonprofit and civic organizations and is an active in her church, Shiloh Christian Center in Oakland. Monk is the founder of Single Mothers Achieving Righteousness Together (S.M.A.R.T.), a nonprofit that provides forums and resources to educate and empower single mothers to make the right choices for themselves and their children. The Fifth Annual Judge George Carroll Service Awards will take place 5:30 p.m. on May 3 at the Richmond Sanitary Service Office, 3260 Blume Drive in Richmond. BAPAC established the award program in 2008 in honor of Judge George Carroll (Retired), who promoted family values, integrity, personal responsibility, public service and concern for the welfare of others. The event recognizes community leaders who have demonstrated an unselfish commitment to public service and tireless work in the community for common good. Other award winners will be featured in future issues of the Richmond Post.

What to Wear to a Gala this spring? Here are the early Red Carpet Trends.
If you're going to The Heart Ball, you're in luck, since red is always a hot color on the Red Carpet.
If you are a sucker for "basic black" you'll need to consider a column this year. Lean & elegant is the look with deep cuts, cut-outs, and gold embellishments to jazz up the long line of black.
The Sheer Long over Short look was pretty big at the Golden Globes, with some hits and some misses (hello Eva Longoria as the newest Kardashian). While we think this look struggles to be Red Carpet Worthy, we like it for the kind of regular ole' Black Tie event that some of us might actually go to.
And White, particularly white with gold, sequins and sparkle, continues to stand out from the crowd. We think Lady Mary does it best this year.

Trinity High School wide receiver James Quick was named the 2012-13 Gatorade Kentucky Football Player of the Year on Thursday.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound senior caught 82 passes for 1,333 yards and 14 touchdowns through 13 games and broke the state record for career receptions with 277. That despite missing last week's 21-14 come-from-behind victory over Scott County due to a rib injury. He earned First Team All-State honors for the second season and was picked to play in the 2013 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
"He's got speed, elusiveness, leaping ability," Mike Glaser, head coach at rival St. Xavier High School said. "He's as good as there's ever been in this state."
The Gatorade Player of the Year selection committee factors in more than just an athletes gridiron performance.
