A Beech Island man was detained on numerous charges, including robbery and drug charges, after he allegedly robbed and assaulted his ex-girlfriend outside her home, according to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
Shawn Franklin West, 39, of Old Double Springs Road, was charged with strong arm robbery, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, possession of other controlled substance, possession of less than one gram of methamphetamine or cocaine, criminal domestic violence, fraudulent checks and driving under suspension.
He was also served three bench warrants for driving violations and was placed in the Aiken County detention center.
The incident happened just before 8 a.m. on Monday at the victim's Beckner Trail home in Aiken, according to a sheriff's report.
The 34-year-old victim told officers West showed up "unwelcome" at her home and demanded money to purchase gas for his vehicle, according to the report.
When she refused to give West money, he struck her in her left eye, knocking her off the porch, according to the report.
The victim told officers West then took her purse off her shoulder, which contained jewelry, money and cards, according to the report.
West was arrested on Tuesday. The victim said they lived together for three to four years, according to the report.

Hot off the release of their fifth studio album "Resilience," out now on Eleven Seven Music, hard rock band Drowning Pool will make a stop in Portsmouth on as part of their "Resilience Tour". The band will headline at the Columbia Theater June 21, with opening act Eye Empire.
The band burst onto the scene touring with Ozzy Osbourne's OzzFest, and in 2001 they released a platinum-selling album "Sinner," reaching No. 14 on the U.S. music charts. The album included popular tracks such as "Bodies," which was used by WWE and Ohio Valley Wrestling, and heard in the films "Jason X" (2002) and "The Punisher" (2004).
In 2002, lead singer Dave Williams, age 30, died of cardiomyopathy on the band's tour bus in Virginia. Singer Jason Jones joined the band as lead vocalist in 2003 and was featured on their 2004 album "Desensitized," before he left in 2005. He was then followed singer by Ryan McCombs who recorded two albums ("Full Circle" in 2007, and "Drowning Pool" in 2010 which spawned their highest-charting radio hit to date, "Feel Like I Do.") before he also left the band in 2011.
Instead of folding up and simply going away as many artists would, original members—C.J. Pierce [Guitar], Stevie Benton [Bass], and Mike Luce [Drums] dusted themselves off and began searching for his replacement immediately.
"This business is a marathon not a sprint," said Benton. "You're going to have a lot of ups and downs. That's how life is. There are no more surprises because we've survived all of these disasters already. We're more of a unit than ever before. We've become adept at rolling with the punches, and we've always got each other's backs."
Originally touring alongside Drowning Pool with his own band, Suicide Hook, singer Jason Moreno sent an audition tape to the band. For the vocalist, the opportunity to simply try out for one of his favorite bands was an honor enough.
"I just tried my best," remembers Moreno. "Back in the day, there was a clear moment when I knew these guys had something special. My band was opening for them at an outdoor festival. They had this wall of sound and thunderous energy so I turned around and looked at the stage. Dave had this shovel, and he was banging it on the stage as hard as he could in time with the snare drum. It was awesome visually and you could feel it. I'll never forget that. I kept moments like that in mind going into this."
Moreno officially joined the band for their fifth full-length album and third for Eleven Seven Music, "Resilience."
"It's exciting to have new blood. He's on fire about being a part of this, and that's contagious. It's like we can't stop writing songs now. Jason lives and breathes it. We can play any song we've ever written and he can sing it like the day it came off the record," Benton said.
Drowning Pool continue to deliver on record, on stage and beyond. They've toured Kuwait, Iraq, Korea, and Guantanamo Bay, performing for the soldiers. They've rocked on high-profile tours such as Crüe Fest and Ozzfest, sharing bills with everyone from Mötley Crüe and Papa Roach to Ozzy Osbourne and System of a Down.
"In the immortal words of Dimebag Darrell, we're trying to 'Keep on keepin' on'," Luce said. "Drowning Pool is alive and kicking and in some respects more than ever. We're lifers."
Touring to promote their new album, the band will play the Columbia Music Arena in Portsmouth on June 21, with Eye Empire opening. Tickets are available at the Columbia Music Arena, located at 832 Gallia St., in Portsmouth. The venue can be found online at columbiamusicarena.com and on Facebook.
A second leg of tour dates with co-headliners Pop Evil will begin July 21 in St. Louis, Missouri. For more information about Drowning Pool, visit them online at www.drowningpool.com. The band is also available on Facebook (www.facebook.com/drowningpool), MySpace (us.myspace.com/drowningpool), and Twitter (@DrowningPool).

Rated 4 out of 5Â by ERJU Overpriced, but cute I purchased this top with the pull on flares and love how they look together. I agree with lexpeditions that it hits my stomach at the right spot and the sleeves are so perfectly bouncy! I do have some reservations since it was freaking $100 for a delicate top like this and lexpedition's review is making me a little worried that mine is going to fall apart as well. So, I'm probably going to hold onto it for now since it was the last one in stores and see if I want to return it in about a week or so. I also purchased the XS, but it's still a little loose. I have to adjust it to make sure it's not falling too forward so that it doesn't hang awkwardly in front. I also have to keep pulling it down to make sure the sleeves stay in place. 4.1.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by lexpeditions Beautiful, but bad quality. This top is drop dead gorgeous! The sleeves are flouncy and the bottom crochet hits my stomach at the perfect spot... But i'm extremely disappointed with my purchase. Here's the problem. I've worn it three times, haven't even washed it yet, and it's already coming apart in two different areas. I am extremely let down because i paid good money for this top and absolutely love it but since it's coming apart it's unwearable.For how delicate it is the ticket price is TOO HIGH. Wait for it to go on sale because it is a really beautiful one of a kind top... 3.4.2013

Nearly every time the Summerville girls gained a little momentum, Aiken made a run.
Summerville (20-6) was eliminated from the Class AAAA state playoffs Friday with a 58-45 loss to Aiken (18-7) in the second round.
"The start didn't go our way," Summerville coach Matt Legare said. "Our shots weren't falling in the first period. You have to give it to them. They got that early lead and then hit enough big shots to keep us at bay. But our girls battled. They played hard until the end."
The Lady Hornets opened the game with a 13-2 run and led 18-7 at the end of the first period. The Lady Green Wave then had a lot of success in the paint to cut into the lead.
With 3:38 remaining in the half, senior Michelle Padgett electrified the crowd and the Wave bench with a jumper that cut the lead to 5. However, Aiken scored the next five points to take a 26-18 lead into the half.
Kwanza Murray hit a pair of 3-point shots and set up a bucket with a nifty fake and pass inside to cut the lead to 4 early in the third. But Aiken closed the period out with a 14-4 run for a 44-30 score entering the final period.
The scoring then slowed and Summerville didn't make a single basket in the first five minutes of the fourth. The Lady Wave outscored the Lady Hornets 15-3 from there but ran out of time.
Murray led the Summerville scorers with 12 points and Alexis Odom scored 12 to lead Aiken. Erin Gilmore and Rebekah Muir both added 11 points for the Lady Hornets.
"Losing this one stings but we have some fond memories from this season and the future looks bright," Legare said. "This year's seniors as well as last year's seniors did a good job getting something started here. We are a pretty young team and have some athletes we are really excited about so now we just need to continue to work so we can keep it going."
Summerville entered the playoffs ranked ninth in the Girls Class AAAA state coaches poll. The team is also the 2013 Region 8-AAAA champion.
Seniors Tinara Brown, JaKaylah Ravenell and Padgett will be moving on, but the team has nine players who began the season with the varsity who should return. Brown is the team's starting point guard and Ravenell is also a guard, but the Lady Green Wave will return some of its leading scorers.
Legare says he is also excited about some of the players expected to move up from the JV team.
Aiken (58): Alexis Odom 12, Erin Gilmore 11, Rebekah Muir 11, Tyler 9, Graham 9, Williams 6
Summerville (45): Kwanza Murray 12, Heather Chapman 10, Zuri Green 8, Brown 7, Capers 5, Padgett 2, Ashley Green 1

Kaptur: The GI Bill, almost defeated, turns 70Written by Guest Author | | email@example.com
This year we are commemorating several important historical events, including the D-Day invasion. Another such landmark event was the enactment of the Serviceman's Readjustment Act, also known as the GI Bill of Rights, which President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law on June 22, 1944.
The GI Bill represented an unprecedented investment in America's service members and veterans. The federal government, recognizing the sacrifices and contributions of those leaving military service, committed vast resources to education, housing and training for the men and women who were fighting the war and would soon be coming back home.
What is not widely known is that the bill almost died in Congress.
President Roosevelt had laid out the objectives of a GI Bill almost a year earlier during one of his famous "fireside chats" on the radio. He had proposed providing returning veterans with mustering-out pay, but also significant social programs such as government-paid health care and educational benefits.
President Roosevelt also recognized that the bill would stimulate the economy as it eventually made the transition from war footing to peacetime. By making this massive investment in people, the federal government helped lay the groundwork for what became the greatest economic expansion in world history.
But even while the American soldiers were hitting the beaches at Normandy, some members of Congress were fighting the bill on ideological grounds.
What motivated the opposition to the GI Bill was President Roosevelt's proposal for unemployment insurance for returning soldiers known as the 52-20 plan (up to 52 weeks of unemployment compensation at $20 a week).
The bill had passed the House unanimously, but the Senate version differed slightly, and opponents mounted a rear guard action to defeat it in conference committee.
They claimed that jobless benefits would help only the "lazy" and diminish the incentive for returning veterans to find work. The American Legion, which led the charge on behalf of the bill, countered that all the returning veterans would be unemployed at least temporarily when they returned stateside.
Nonetheless, opponents successfully bottled up the bill in conference committee and appeared to have killed it.
Faced with imminent defeat, the American Legion and other supporters saved the day by arranging to transport Rep. John S. Gibson, who was recuperating from a serious illness at his home in rural Georgia, back to Washington in an overnight flight from Jacksonville, Florida.
Congressman Gibson arrived in the early morning hours of June 12 and cast the tie-breaking vote in conference committee. The Senate passed the bill in its final form that same day, and the House followed suit the next day.
"It gives emphatic notice to the men and women in our armed forces that the American people do not intend to let them down," President Roosevelt said at the signing ceremony.
As it turned out, the opposition to jobless benefits proved to be unfounded: less than 20 percent of the funds set aside for unemployment compensation were ever used. Meanwhile, millions of veterans were able to restart their lives as civilians by taking advantage of low-cost loans for homes, farms and businesses. Millions more were able to afford college thanks to the educational benefit.
And this year, we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the GI Bill, which is widely recognized as one of the most successful pieces of legislation in our nation's history.
Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D) is the U.S. Representative for Ohio's 9th Congressional District. For more information, visit her website at kaptur.house.gov.

A bit of background for newcomers
Joe (aka 'Mac' to his RAF comrades) was my Uncle, but we never met. His precious letters have come into my possession some near-70 years after they were written. It is my honour to transcribe them, and the poignancy of hindsight about what happened to Joe makes this all the more difficult to write, but all the more important that I do. One letter will be posted to this Blog each and every Friday.
Please see below for a link to Joe's full story and the other letters in this series so far.
In this letter, Joe is now stationed at Stranraer in Scotland, where his Air Gunnery School training (phase 4 of his training) has commenced and he will finally get up in the air….
Letter 34 – 8th May 1944
Dear Mom and kids,
I do hope I haven't worries you any by not having written for so many days but we had to have our mid-term exams in a hurry. I haven't had a chance to do anything for the last few nights except swott! I don't know the results yet but when I do I'll write. Now to set about answering your letter of Monday morning last. I got your telegram while I was down at the school but it didn't scare me strangely enough! I had an idea what it would be about when I opened it! Unless they lift the ban on Ayr I shall have to send my skates back home!
As for thrills in the air, well we had a bit of one the other day. As we were about to touch down on the runway our plane was caught in a cross-wind! Our port wing just missed the ground as we were tipped up! Our pilot slammed the throttle right forward to get up again and the sudden lurch forward almost shoved my teeth through the back of my head!! Flying over the Irish sea does have its interesting and thrilling periods too! We see lots of things that leave us with popping eyes but I can't say anything about 'em!
We sometimes go on 'Air to Buoy' firing details and when the sea is a bit rough we have to try and hit seagulls! It's harder than it reads, I know! When I get some leave I shall be able to tell you of the funny (and browned off) times we've had.
The crew that Joe Lee is in has had some flying in! They had to do TWO exercises over again because they shot away their target drogues. Oh boy was he cheesed!!
Right now I'm fed up 'cos we've just had an inspection, yes, at 9pm! We don't get a great deal of time to ourselves because we are sometimes flying til 9 o'clock each evening and when we get back to our hut it's time to go to bed.
About going to the Pictures, I sa some extinct film in town Thursday night last. I don't think I shall ever go to see 'Gone with the Wind because of my having read the book. (8 weeks, remember?!)
Blimey, how long have you been paying that 6/- income tax? I have had an increase in my pay but I'm saving it for you til I come home, ubt if ever you get very short let me know and don't forget, I mean it! Let me know what happens over your enquiries.
There's nothing much more to say this time I guess. I had a nice letter from Marie a day or so ago and one LONG one from Alma. Joe Lee and I will be having all hell of a time soon!
I still have to answer a letter from Bert Thomas, he sent me his photo. I shall tell him it'll be something to throw our new darts at! That will choke 'im!!
I must stop for laughing. One of my mates has just flopped down on to his bed and the darned thing collapsed under him. An 'accident' I guess!
So long for now.
Love Joe xxxx
P.S. No pen!!"
In good spirits and enjoying the flying, by the sounds of it. Much larking about and I think you can tell that Joe is still genuinely very interested in the things he is doing and learning from his experiences.
To read more about Joe's letters please follow this link. There you will find the full selection of letters to date, as well as more information about his beautiful and tragic story.
He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories. I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey.

Tug Valley wins Class A state championship
Kyle Lovern
Sports Editor
CHARLESTON - The Tug Valley Panthers of Coach Garland "Rabbit" Thompson achieved the goal he set for his team last March by winning back-to-back state championships.
Tug Valley defeated Charleston Catholic 58-41 in the Class A final Saturday afternoon at the Charleston Civic Center. The Panthers won the Class AA title last season, but because of a drop in enrollment, dropped down to Single A this season.
Senior guards Mikey Newsome, Austin Brewer and Aaron Muncy, like they have for two seasons, led Tug Valley to the big victory over the feisty Irish of CCHS.
All three players were named to the all-tournament team.
Muncy came out red-hot. He scored the Panther's first five points and ended up with 16 in the first half, including four 3-pointers. Usually known as the team's defensive stopper, Muncy ended the game with a career high 21 points.
"I thought Aaron got us going early," Thompson said after the game. "Then Austin was able to drive and penetrate and Mikey hit a couple of big shots."
"Coach tells us it only takes one shot to get your confidence," Muncy said. "I got a good bounce on the first one. I felt confident after that."
"These three seniors gave a big-time effort. They communicate so well and have such good chemistry," Thompson said.
"I've played with these guys since I was five years old," Newsome said. "That makes it even more special."
"I drive and dish, if I've got the shot, I take it - if not, I drop it off," Brewer said. "That's just what I do."
"I've never seen three guards like that," Irish coach Bill McClanahan said. "To Tug's credit, the players that needed to step up did."
"Congratulations to Tug Valley," McClanahan added.
Like they have all season, Tug Valley got offense from its tenacious defense. The Panthers like to press and use in your face man-to-man defense to rattle opponents and force them into turnovers.
Tug Valley only led 19-18 after one quarter and 32-26 at the half.
The Panthers pressured Catholic's Nick George and Garrett McCarty in the early minutes.
Tug Valley went on a little run and outscored the Irish 11-5 in the third quarter to get a little breathing room. They pulled away in the final quarter and built a commanding lead - much to the delight of the Tug Valley fans. The diehard Panther fans won the spirit award for having the best cheering section.
"There is no sweeter words than back-to-back," Thompson added. "I thought the game would go down to the last possession."
Tug Valley is the first public school to win the Class A crown since Williamson in 2001.
"It's even more special being the 100th anniversary of the tournament," Thompson added. He talked about some of the past teams from Mingo County that have won state championships.
Muncy, a 5-8 guard, not only had 21 points, but he pulled down seven rebounds and had a couple of steals. Brewer had 15 points and five assists. Newsome had 10 points and four assists. Junior forward Thomas Baisden had eight points and a game high 12 rebounds. Senior Corey Dillon added four points.
George ended the game with 13 points for CCHS, while McCarty added 10. Keiffer Hovorka scored nine and David Godwin seven for the Irish.
Tug Valley shot 46 percent from the floor making 23-50, including 7-19 from behind the arc for 37 percent. They went 5-10 at the free throw line for 50 percent.
CCHS shot 41 percent from the field hitting 14-34 shots, including 54 percent from 3-point land making -11 and 7-9 at the charity stripe for 78 percent.
Tug Valley finished the season with a 24-3 record.
Score by quarters:
Tug Valley - Muncy 21, Newsome 10, Brewer 15, Baisden 8, Dillon 4, Sturgell 0.
Charleston Catholic - Godwin 7, McCarty 10, George 13, Casto 2, Hovorda 9.

Typical phrase you might hear in my house: "Can someone go upstairs and tell Yoda to be quiet?"
Don't get me wrong. I would love to have the actual Yoda just chilling around the house being part of our everyday life, saying things like, "Dinner ready, it is" and "Walk dogs, I will." But this particular Yoda only speaks in high-pitched beeps. Mainly because he is an alarm clock.
Yoda the Alarm Clock lives in my son's room and somehow got set for 6:00 p.m. instead of a.m., a problem that is easily solved by resetting it. However, we have instead solved this problem by, most every day, simply popping the top of Yoda's head, quieting him for the next 24 hours. I know what you're saying – uh, why don't you simply change the alarm setting? Well, if it's bothering you that much, you come over and reset it.
Plus, the need to have that alarm clock in the morning isn't exactly great, as we have plenty of backup wake-up devices in our house.
The main alarms are on the clock in our bedroom. Our alarm clock is one of those standard issue digital clocks that allows for two alarms – the first fires up a radio station. That is easily put to rest for seven minutes with a quick strike of the snooze button. The second, set a short while after, launches a shrill series of beeps that is put to rest with a strike of the snooze button and a loud morning announcement of, "Why do we have that thing turned on in the mornings!?!?!"
The first alarm clock is set to NPR. I have it set just a smidge too loud. Otherwise I would probably just lie in bed and listen to "Morning Edition," all the while my wife would continue to saw logs.
The second shrill alarm clock is pretty much a backup for me, on the off chance I turn the volume down and go into news consumption mode. For the longest while, my wife relied on human alarms – children for many years. After that, I was her primary source of waking, normally through me standing at the side of the bed brushing my teeth and saying "Get up. Get Up. Get Up." Repeatedly. Until she would try to knock the lamp on my foot. But she got up nonetheless.
Of late, however, she has found a new alarm clock that is one of the few alarm clock frequencies that will wake her up. She got a new docking station for her iPhone. It sits by her bed and is a clock and a radio and blender or something. It's got plenty of bells and whistles. But it also means her phone is sitting by the bed. I've known that woman for 20 years, and this is the first alarm clock I've ever know that can wake her up. Steve Jobs, you late, great genius.
So that takes care of us. Yoda, as we established, is ineffective for my son, unless he's trying to wake up for night school. My daughter has a couple of alarms in her room. One is a digital clock, which blasts pop music far earlier than she has any intent of getting up. She also has a phone alarm, but she has yet to develop her mother's ability to wake up to that. So the general way both kids are woken up is the tried and tested way of waking up children that my father employed: A loud and repeating announcement of "TIME TO GET UP! TIME TO GET UP!" My dad also occasionally employed a German shepherd. Before you think that was far more horrible than it was, B.D. was our pet German shepherd when I was a kid and, on mornings when I was particularly immune to the "wake up" announcements, I would be met with, "B.D., GET IN THE BED!" A 75-pound German shepherd pouncing on your bed and licking your face will generally succeed in getting you out of bed. I have yet to employ dogs, but let's all be clear that option is on the table.
So it appears we have the alarms covered in the house, with plenty of backups securely in place. Should any of these begin to fail, I do have a plan. We're getting the actual Yoda. "GET UP TIME IT IS."

02.20.2012 - Update on Manuf. Cup Sportsman class weights, tire rules
Given the results of the survey taken at the scales at Daytona, it was mutually agreed that the weights in the Komet and Yamaha Sportsman classes be set at 250 and 265 for the Standard and Cadet Chassis in this class, with the weights again being monitored on Saturday of the Zoom Zoom Nationals by WKA officials.
Additionally, it was the suggestion of both collective groups, the Committee and Board, to implement a Final 1/Final 2 format for the balance of the year in Yamaha Sportsman.
However, since the season has already started, in difference to the structure of the Cadet class, which also runs a Final 1/Final 2 format but for one championship, the Yamaha Sportsman class will still run for two championships in 2012, despite the change in structure.
A review of the format for the Yamaha Sportsman class for 2013, as well as the rest of the Man Cup program, will come later in the year.
The Tire Rule for all Sportsman competitors will continue to be enforced throughout the year with competitors in the Cadet, Komet, and Yamaha required to run the same tires both competition days.
Any competitor registered to run just on Day No. 2 will still be required to run a set of used tires, containing the tire markings from that specific event. No other version will be allowed. Sportsman drivers, as well as drivers in any other competition class wishing to run the same tire on Day No. 2, will report to the tech area at a time determined by officials on the evening of Day No. 1 to have their tires branded.
Entries continue to build for the season's second event of the year in Kershaw, South Carolina. To view the entry blank for the Zoom Zoom Nationals,

I actually had this fight picked as a DRAW in the Pick Ems, but the combination of Adelaide Byrd as a judge (which probably means that IF it goes the distance somebody will walk away with an majority decision) and Mazzagatti as ref, I think we may see an early stoppage.
Rumor is Aldo had a cut and stitches over his left eye last week... He better hope Edgar does not open it up during the fight (if it was true). A doc stoppage due to cut would be just too fitting and would lead to an immediate rematch..

Constantly recreating, the enternal return...Aldo by KO? Edgar=new champ?The Ouroboros or Uroborus[1] is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail.
The Ouroboros often represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return,
Fuck if I know.
Both have fought the best of their division for sure.
BTW this is the first time Im seeing Kimbo>Rampage, Lol good job Fedorlei.

Maybe Danzig is talking about Edgar being in the this situation before (BJ). He would be facing a dominant and "unstoppable" champion and shocking everyone with a win again.
in my head i said "i bet its split 50/50" before even reading this thread. Good to see they interviewed fighters whoes opinions actually matter in situations like this.
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down

Really? When I look at Samsung or any other Asian OEM, I don't think cool. They seem cheap, and gimicie. You don't see Apple showing off there phones with underage Asian girls holding them. Because Apple is cool. It has been from the beginning, and will be for a long time to come.
Apple is losing its hip...!
A very nice reality check from John Moltz's Very Nice Web Site:
Victor Keegan, writing for the Guardian, thinks all the cool has gone out of the iPhone and that smartphones from other vendors have already overtaken it:
The punchline is sublime. Go read it.

Apple is losing its hip...!
Thanks for stopping by. Based off your profile picture, profile bio, and this moronic comment I'd say you acting like a scared android fan. Btw I've seen just as many moms and celebrities with Galaxy S 3s of late.
My dad is in his 70s and refuses to use an iPhone. He has a GS3. On the other hand my brothers, my wife and my brothers wife's all use iPhones, and we are younger. I mostly see older people, or lower income people with androids where I live.
"Socially cool techies" is oxymoronic.
I don't even like iphones and I think that's bs
That was said in 2006 when apple was working on iOS and iPhone and now they're on the verge of unveiling a new thing since OSX is ending.
To be fair, you could argue Keegan was correct - the original iPods did start to lose its caché around 2006 - Apple simply recognized this and got out in front of any trend with the iOS-based iPod Touch in 2007, making sure that they, and not a competitor, cannibalized the old iPod's share.
I agree with that. However, unlike some companies that would stubbornly ride a product into the ground, terrified to "hurt" their existing business, Apple went to the iPhone and then iPad. They're one of the few companies of their era that haven't mistaken their product for their business.
iPhone is still a fantastic and growing business, but it will also end one day. What intersects its downward trend with a new, upward one?
Negates the entire premise of the article, though - the subject of the "sublime" punchline's only crime was in not knowing what was going on in Cupertinio's private labs.
Apple deserves kudos for recognizing when a product is stale and acting aggressively to make a successor, but that is a different thing altogether than saying the product itself never went stale.
That part I disagree with. The iPod was never superseded in the market, nor did it ever become uncool. Demand simply moved from unitaskers to multitaskers -- convergent devices that were iPods but more than iPods. Arguably Apple sells more iPods than ever before, they're simply software apps on new, more capable hardware.
That difference also means the punchline might be off-base, that the iPhone faces competition the iPod never did (from outside Apple rather than inside). But it does highlight, and why I chose to link to it, the cyclical nature of criticism.
Apple is always doomed.
It's the tech version of "kids these days" being traced back to ancient philosophers.
You disagree, because you insist on reading something extra into the analyst's statements. Keegan did not say "Apple is doomed" generally -- at most, he said that "Apple faces hard times because the current iPod is doomed." There is a HUGE difference between those two statements, and mocking him for saying #1 is dirty pool.
He was wrong, obviously, but not in his analysis of the mp3 market -- where he failed is not knowing that Apple had already come to the same conclusion. Apple knew the the "unitasking" music player market was in danger of becoming a red ocean, and was poised to release a product - the iPod Touch - to change the game entirely. (A turnabout for which Apple does not get nearly enough praise.) Today's doomsayers may simply be thinking the phone market has caught up enough that Apple needs a similar reinvention.
If so, I hope they not only listen, but they again thought of it first. It may play a more comforting narrative to dismiss these opinions as a cyclical parrotting of "Apple is doomed," but that is the way of corporate laziness and complacency. Apple saved their and enhanced their music market not by dismissing pessimists, but by being pessimistic themselves, and ruthlessly innovating, even killing/severely wounding one of their own markets, in the service of greater goals.
Analysts like Keegan make failed predictions not because they hate Apple, but because they underestimate that ruthlessness. When a market reaches a dangerous point, they think Apple as a manufacturer content to ride a buggy whip business to oblivion, whereas from the Apple II through the iPod Classic, Apple has shown admirable willingness to slit even their most successful products' throats if they thought he future pointed a different way.
In mockingly dismissing Apple's critics, you ironically are not giving Apple nearly the credit they deserve.
Sources said that apple is less popular with teenagers so it would be fair to say it isn't as cool anymore. But it is still a great OS. And if someone is buying a phone based on how cool it is, then that's sad.
Lol all you iFans need a reality check as well. I see more Galaxy phones than iPhones now because everyone is starting to get bored. If Apple thinks people are still happy with the same old iOS design since day one (excluding all you Apple fanboys) then they are way over their heads. Ive been on all platforms and I could tell you that I got bored of iOS's boring grid look within a few months. But thats just me, I get bored of an outdated design very quick.
Apple, the design of the iPhone is great but its the redesign of iOS is what you need to be working on and win your old customers back. I know its what everyones been used to using since day one and don't want to risk losing some by changing it a bit but at this point in time I think iOS screams for a design overhaul along with many others who think the same thing. Ive tried to comeback with the iPhone 4s but I still ended up getting bored of the same look within 3 months then upgraded to a galaxy S3 and couldn't be happier. Dis the S3 all you guys want but that's a real seller. I'm not a fanboy its just what I think having tried out all platforms. I also think most people rock an iPhone because of its very well known brand and want to show it off. You have to admit Samsung has damaged Apple's brand pretty good with its Galaxy line now the ball is in your court. Wow us this fall with iOS 7's design and you might gain more customers than ever. People do want change judging from Samsungs impressive sales in the last 2 years. Not as great as Apple but they're almost there.
Apple also needs to be less ignorant about its hardware as well, screen size to be specific. I mean 4 inches isn't a huge step up from its 3.5 inch screen which it has been rocking since day 1. 4.5 inch would've been the sweet spot maybe 4.8 to rival the S3 which I think is perfect if you read alot, watch videos ect. I certainly don't think its too big for navigating the screen but I do agree anything over 5" is over the top. But that should be the least of Apple's worry right now as they need to focus on redesigning iOS. Maybe adding a new skin like what Samsung has done may work for the time being but lets hope something gets done about iOS within the next 2 years. Hopefully by iOS 8 things get a lot better interms of the design.
You make a lot of good points here. Well said!
In addition to what u said, I think Apple isnt dictating what we "will" want anymore. They just spit out new products from what the market currently want. As u see, the market craved for a smaller tablet and we got the iPad Mini. The market wants a larger screen and we got the 4 inch screen.
Some interesting points, but I cant agree with a lot of them. My biggest gripe s screen size. For a PHONE 3.5" or less is ideal to carry, use and not look like someone from the 1980's. I have an ipad for anything more serious and trying to do two jobs with a phablet never works. Even the iP5 IMHO is too big (tried one) and wont fit in my belt pouch, and I saw an S3 snapped by being in someones pocket!
I have an S3 as a second phone at Xmas as CPW were selling it at silly price and I was curious to see if it was much better than my S2. It may be perfect for you but its not perfect for me by a long way. Where do I start? Build quality is shocking (even to the S2), suprinsngly as Samsung stuff is usually reasonably well build and better than LG for instance. Its too big as a main phone. The camera perfirmance in low light is poor compared to say an iP 4S (though the LED flash is brighter). Android/Touchwiz is messy and not as well thought out (stuff just bolted on here and there). I cant get half the apps I use every day and some that I can are just glorified web portals not specifically designed apps. The Amoled screen is not as easy on the eye as an ips lcd screen (and I was a big fan of oled creens when they first came out), and the battery life sucks (even with everything disabled, including 3G, and a highly rated battery manager installed).
The only really good thing about it is that I got Modern Combat 4 for 99p from the Gameloft store to carry on playing when my ipad is flat LOL.
Belt pouch...lol. Isn't that the fanny-pack of the early years of cellphones?
Touchwiz is not a fair analysis of Android because the interface is completely different. I agree, Touchwiz is messy and thrown together - however, stock Android (Jelly Bean in particular) is beautiful and fluid.
I don't know what apps you use -- but every app I use on iOS has an Android variant that is not a web portal but a dedicated program.
What I want is to see someone try and say the "Retina" is better than the higher density 1080p screen on my new Droid DNA.
To be fair...though Apple product are currently in, i think it sort of lost some edges. Nowadays, u see everyone with an iPhone. It has become a little bland when you see everyone with the same exact phone as you (same goes with the galaxy s lineup). Another thing that caught my attention after hearing a podcast from another website is that after the release BB10 this month, iOS will be the oldest UI of the available mobile OS. Android have their new UI from ICS, WP have their Metro UI, and BB got this BB10 refresh. I'm not saying that any of these OS are better than one another, but I just think iOS need a refresh in their UI to keep stuff new and fresh.
True, even Windows on PC's was replaced more often (XP sporting the longest life of a whooping 6 years). But OSX is even more insane to be still around (talk about an old school approach), to be truthful it had only three really noticeable revisions throughout it's 12 long years of life (Apple doesn't have the mercy to put down to sleep that dog).
There has been a crazy amount of damage control from all the Apple-centric sties recently; you guys all get together and plan about these things or something?
'look, we are still hip". "look, our stock is manipulated". "look, we are still relevant"
This amount of insecurity is lunacy
I've noticed that as well...
Everyone needs to relax. The fact is that Apple invented the smartphone as we know it. I remember when the iPhone was originally announced everyone was screaming about how a touch screen phone was such a bad idea because the screen would get dirty from fingerprints! Seriously, that was a huge deal. Now, of course, all smartphones are touch displays.
Apple changed the smartphone market and created the modern smart phone, along with the tablet market, the "App market" (and no, those old apps on old phones are not even close to what apple started), the ultrabook market and more all in FIVE YEARS. No tech company or hardware company out there can come close to any of that. Apple changed everything in a few short years and now everyone is just doing what they did, which is fine, but it will take a little time for Apple to again change everything. This discussion about Apple being no longer "hip" or bing on their way out will look silly in three years. Just wait.
As much as I liked android back when I used it a lot, I always thought the fandroids were the worst people. Just so rude and obnoxious. I really don't understand why they have to hate on a product so much when it doesn't affect them in anyway. You rarely see hardcore apple fans going on android sites/blogs and just posting their hatred towards it. Jebus man. It's out of control. People take things too personally over a damn phone
Yeah, right! Don't think so... If that was the case then a certain Asian manufacturer wouldn't have lost a big court case for copying Apple.
I'm hoping the rumours surrounding an Apple have substance and I think we all know it will set a new standard for flat panels.
"Go Jets Go"
I just got back from the ces last week, and honestly I had phone envy. So many people there had s3 and note2. The iPhone screen looks like a price of junk in comparison. I am at the ces every year and this year far few people were using iPhones. S3 was very popular there. I was atany booths of companies that developed a new product to work on phones. Quote "it's available for android, but for iPhone, we have to wait for apple, and they are giving us a hard time.....". I heard a lot of that this year. I have an iPhone and I like it, but iPhones are really starting to get outdated.
I'm a big apple guy. apple everything i have. had the last 3 iphones as well but switched to the GS3 mainly for a larger screen. i miss the icloud and easy integration of itunes for syncing everything. but on the other hand its nice to use any pc/mac to add or more media content and not having to be on my own computer with my account on it. that a facetime but i usually have my ipad with me so its not to bad. i would be back to iphone is they had a bigger screen like the GS3. iphone 5 didnt cut it for me.

Vermont Tap House planned for Midway Diner buildingBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | November 20,2013Anthony Edwards / Staff Photo
The former Midway Diner on South Main Street closed to make way for IHOP, but the plan has changed to bring in Vermont Tap House instead.The Midway Diner will become a gastropub instead of an IHOP.
The Rutland institution on South Main Street closed during the summer in order to make way for the international pancake house chain, but an application with the city zoning office indicates that plan has been abandoned in favor of a second location for Vermont Tap House.
Vermont Tap House, which features a menu heavy on Vermont products and specializing in wood-fired pizza, opened in Williston in August. It is owned by the same family consortium that owns the South Burlington IHOP.
Calls to the Chittenden County restaurants were referred to Sam Handy, who could not be reached for comment. Frank Trombetta of Midway Oil, which owns the Midway Diner property, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday.
Handy was the longtime owner of the Rutland Ponderosa and has repeatedly tried to bring IHOP to the city. He signed a lease on the Midway property in August, saying he expected to reopen it as an IHOP in November.
The Midway was opened as an iconic Pullman railcar-style diner in 1947. That building was sold and removed in 1996, replaced by the current structure, set farther back from the road than its predecessor. Midway was open around the clock for much of its history making it a favorite for local youth too young for the bar scene.
Handy signed a lease on the property in August, and the diner closed shortly after.
The city zoning application calls for interior renovations to the building.

Royce Gracie
Undefeated in 13 fights, with 11 wins by submission, one decision, one draw (that he likely would have lost had there been judges.
Streak lasted 17 months.
Two opponents, Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn, were ever champions in MMA.
Had the advantage of being born into a family with generations of No Hold Barred fighting, against people with none.
Fedor Emelianenko
Emelianenkos 29-fight streak started on April 6, 2001, and ended on June 26, 2010, for more than nine years. Add four fights and a year if you discount the bogus cut stoppage.
Of his 29 fights, if you throw out the no contest, there were five decisions out of 28, meaning a finishing percentage of 82.1%.
Ten were against fighters who at some point in their careers held major MMA championships, and that doesnt include his highest profile career win over Mirko Cro Cop.
Fought seven pro wrestlers, and MMA was not as evolved as it was during Anderson Silva's run.
Wanderlei Silva
Unbeaten from August 12, 2000 to December 31, 2004, or nearly four years and five months, earning 16 wins, one draw and one no contest.
Throwing out the draw and no contest, in his 16 wins, only two were decisions, a finishing percentage of 87.5%.
Five of his wins came against fighters who won major championships during their career. Three other wins were over Kazushi Sakuraba, an all-time great who never held a major championship.
Aside from his gimmick match with Cro Cop, he didnt face a non-Japanese fighter until Quinton Jackson, at which point he had beaten every tough, or even not-so-tough, Japanese in his division.
Georges St-Pierre
Since the loss to Matt Serra on April 7, 2007, GSP had 11 wins in a row, ten of which were championship matches.
Tied Silva with ten title match wins in his streak.
St-Pierres finishing percentage of 27 percent is the lowest of the big five. However, he has only been in trouble once, when he was knocked down in his Nov. 17, title defense against Carlos Condit.
In only one fight, against Jake Shields, did he even lose a single round.
Six of his 11 wins were against men who held championships of major organizations, and three others, Jon Fitch, Josh Koscheck and Thiago Alves, were all right at that caliber.
Anderson Silva
Winning streak starting on April 22, 2006, with a first round knockout of Tony Fryklund.
88.2% finishing rate, the highest of anyone.
Six of his wins were against fghters who held major championships.
Overall quality of opposition is second only to St-Pierre.

Bisping: Constant 'call-outs' a compliment - Mixed Martial Arts News
It's a double edged sword. You could take it as an offense, but I don't. I take it as a compliment. I've been no stranger to being insulted over the years, so I have very thick skin. These days, when people call me out, I look at it as a complement, because these days when somebody wins a fight, instead of calling out the champion, they call me out. Maybe it's name recognition, or maybe they think I'm an easier fight, but it's all good to me. I'm never going to be short of opponents, because plenty of people want to fight me. To all those people that call me out, I thank you.
Bisping: Lombard is 'way over-priced'
Bisping has always been a straight-talker and has gone on record as saying he isn't Lombard's biggest fan, but while he is happy to see his rival struggling, he insists he never takes joy from seeing anybody lose their job.
"I've met the guy once, and he didn't leave a very good impression and he acted like kind of an idiot," Bisping is quoted as saying by Bloody Elbow. "All I did was tell my side of the story about how that meeting went. It didn't go well.
"Other than that, we really don't have any personal history, yet he continually calls me out, makes disparaging remarks ... this and that.
"He always talks about how good he is, so why wouldn't I take some personal satisfaction in seeing him come up short? I absolutely enjoyed watching that. I liked watching Yushin Okami make him look very average.
"He's way over-priced and he's not the biggest name. [But] I've never been the advocate for someone losing their job. I'm not a businessman and it's not my money on the line. It's not my decision at all, but I never want to see someone lose their job."

Mannino (6-4-0) kicked out 19 shots overall in the loss.
Center Ben Walter's shot from the blueline through traffic into side of the net made the Monsters lead 5-1, 8:11 into the last period.

Seward County Announces 2013 Hall of Fame ClassApril 23, 2013
Brent Gould was one of three original Saints Booster Club Lifetime Members, donating a substantial sum to get the Booster Club on its feet. He was a permanent fixture at Seward County home and road events throughout the years. It was routine for Saints and Lady Saints basketball players to go straight to Brent and his wife Virginia in their front row seats, for a handshake when they were announced at games. In 1996 the Saints baseball field was named after Gould in recognition of his support and passion for Seward County baseball. Brent Gould Field now stands as one of the best junior college baseball facilities in the nation. Gould's granddaughter Ginny Wylie spoke for him after his passing in 2002 at 100 years old. Wylie had a smile on her face while pointing at former Saint Shelby Walton in the crowd saying "my nemesis Shelby Walton sitting right there during this speech. My grandparents never came to watch me play soccer because they were always too busy watching you and the Saints."
The Class of 2013 joins Jim Littell, Galen McSpadden, Kim Ortega, Cory Patton, and the 2002 Women's Basketball team in the Saints Hall of Fame. To nominate someone for the Class of 2014, email or call Seward County Sports Information Director Roy Allen at firstname.lastname@example.com or 620-417-1553. The Hall of Fame committee will take nominations for next year's class through November when they vote on the nominees, before releasing the 2014 class at the Saints opening Jayhawk West basketball game of the year on January 11th.

Friday, November 1, 2013
The Georgetown Police Department has begun making arrests associated with an ongoing investigative operation related to the burglaries that have happ......ened in Maryville over the last year. This investigative operation has been conducted by the Georgetown Police Department, the 15th Judicial Circuit Drug Enforcement Unit and agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Early this morning, a task force of officers, including SLED Agents, agents with the U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force, SC Parole and Probation, Drug Enforcement Unit, and investigators with the Georgetown Police Department, began making arrests.
The Georgetown Police Department would like to thank the residents of Maryville for their patience and cooperation during what has been an unsettling period for them. These arrests do not resolve all the burglaries that took place and our investigation remains ongoing with more arrest expected.
The Georgetown Police Department would like to acknowledge the cooperation of our law enforcement partners who have assisted greatly with this investigation. Today's arrests would not have been possible without the cooperation of the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office, under command of Sheriff A. Lane Cribb, the Charleston County Sheriff's Office, under the command of Sheriff Al Cannon, and the 15th Judicial Circuit Drug Enforcement Unit led by Commander Bill Knowles.
This is Raekwon Shaheed Jarrell Grant, DOB 05/19/95, He has been charged with Criminal Conspiracy, Unlawful sale of a Machine Gun, He has been lodged in the Georgetown County Detention Center. A bond hearing will be held late Friday afternoon.

Ashe Services for the Aging hosted 2013's first Operation Medicine Drop event on Friday, allowing seniors to drop off expired and excessive medications so they can be disposed of properly.
"It's no stress, you bring them in and drop them off…no questions asked," said Barbara McCoy, a volunteer from Ashe County Safe Kids. "It's a good way for people to get rid of their medications legally."
Aside from medications, seniors could also drop off any medical equipment, supplies or devices, like syringes.
"We've had really good results," said McCoy.
During the 2012 year, the Ashe County Sheriff's Office, National Committee for the New River and the County of Ashe held three Operation Medicine Drop events and launched a drop box program that collected 87,481 dosage units of different medications.
The 2012 total of 87,481 dosage units is much larger than the 2011 total of 31,054 and 2010 total of 40,346, according to information from the ACSO.
According to McCoy, there are two or three Operation Medicine Drop events per year.
The June medicine drop was the largest in 2012, housing a booth at Food Lion, Ingles and Warrensville Drug, according to information from the sheriff's office. Both the March & October medicine drops in 2012 were held at Ashe Services for the Aging, making the drop more accessible to seniors.
"We're glad to host it," said Louise Caudill. She called it a "good event."
During those three drops in 2012, a total of 55,107 dosage units of medication were collected, breaking all previous records, according to the sheriff's office.
According to Nancy Kautz, a volunteer from the Ashe County Health Council, the medicine drop helps keep medications out of the water supply. The drop is also meant to prevent accidental poisonings, especially with children.
"We hope the events help keep medicines out of the hands of the irresponsible and out of the rivers," said a press release from the ACSO.
To further the Operation Medicine Drop program, the Ashe County Sheriff's Office established a medicine drop box program on Aug. 1, which allows anyone to dispose of their unused medications by visiting the second floor of the Ashe County Sheriff's Office from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
From Aug. 1 through Dec. 31, a total of 32,374 dosage units were collected through the drop box program, according to a press release from the ASCO.
Once the medications are collected, they are shipped to Gerdau Ameristeel located in Charlotte. Gerdau Ameristeel disposes of the medications by dropping them into a vat of molton steel, which is later incorporated into steel products like girders, according to Phil Howell from the ACSO.
Operation Medicine Drop is an effort coordinated by the Ashe County Sheriff's Office, National Committee for the New River, County of Ashe, North Carolina Department of Insurance, Safe Kids North Carolina, the State Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Drug Enforcement agency and other local groups.
