You're got this saddle sore that has grown on you, literally. It has established such a persistent presence that you decided to name it Chewbacca. You've heard of several home remedies to get rid of Chewbacca, but do they really work?
Most cyclists will get a saddle sore at one point or another during their riding adventures. These are riders that have the right bike fit, remove shorts immediately after riding and wash shorts before wearing them again. In spite of doing these things right, a darn rash or saddle sore shows up.
For any number or reasons, the cyclist doesn't want to run to the doctor to have the entire office take a look at the angry Chewbacca. Many cyclists would prefer to try some home remedies to solve the problem themselves before making an appointment with the doctor. Should home remedies fail, only then do they make a doctor's appointment.
Talk to any experienced cyclist and they have their own potion or method for getting a saddle sore or chamois rash to heal more quickly.
Over the years, and many group ride discussions, I've collected a list of some of these home remedies and have many of them for you in this column. Along with each remedy, I've listed why the remedy may work and the intended effect or the active ingredients.
Listed in no particular order, let's begin with cr?mes and ointments.
This skin cr?me was originally created as a remedy for sunburn and was commonly referred to as "no-eczema." Later it became a popular skin cleanser.
The active ingredients include camphor (slight local anesthetic and is antimicrobial—killing or inhibiting bacteria, fungi or protozoans), menthol (local anesthetic and counterirritant properties) and eucalyptus (has anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain relief) and liniment (relieves pain and stiffness) properties).
Though typically thought of as a feminine care product, plenty of cyclists—male and female—use this product. Some use it prophylacticly (intended to prevent sores before they appear), and others use it as a treatment after the saddle sore has appeared.
The active ingredients include benzocaine (local anesthetic and topical pain reliever) and resorcinol (antiseptic, helps reduce the possibility of infection, and disinfectant, kills microorganisms living on substances)
Preparation H
Though this ointment is advertised to shrink the swelling of hemorrhoidal tissues, some cyclists believe it helps shrink saddle sores. Active ingredients include glycerin (water soluble and is hygroscopic—that is, it attracts water molecules from the surrounding environment), phenylephrine (a vasoconstrictor that decreases blood flow to the area, leading to decreased mucosal edema), pramoxine (local anesthetic) and white petrolatum (topical ointment with healing properties)
Tea Tree Oil
Some cyclists use the oil, while others prefer a stick similar to lip balm. Its medicinal properties include antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral.

Man on lam with infant after mom's boyfriend shot
Updated 3:31 pm, Thursday, December 13, 2012
A man accused of shooting his mother's boyfriend at their Northeast Side home is reportedly on the run with an 11-month-old boy.
Jonathan Jose Guillen's mother had been arguing with the victim about 12:15 a.m. at their home in the Oak Manor Apartments off Austin Highway because he thought she had been cheating on him, an incident report says.
He began to punch her in the face because he noticed a hickie on her neck, she told police.
When Guillen, 23, heard the commotion from their bedroom, he told the man to open the door and asked them if he had struck his mother. The woman's boyfriend said no, while she just wept, police said.
Guillen pulled out a handgun, pointed it at the man and fired, police said. The report said he then walked away and said, "That's what that (expletive) gets" before telling his mother to call the cops.
He left with his infant child, KABB-TV reported, though a police spokesman declined to confirm Guillen's relationship to the child.
News Channel
The shooting victim is believed to be 44. He hasn't been identified.
Guillen is 5 feet 8 inches, 185 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes. Police said he may be armed.

The Last Post Ceremony
Live video stream Daily at 4.55 pm (AEST)
At the end of each day, commencing at 4.55 pm AEST, the Memorial farewells visitors with its moving Last Post Ceremony. The ceremony begins with the singing of the Australian National Anthem, followed by the poignant strains of a lament, played by a piper. Visitors are invited to lay wreaths and floral tributes beside the Pool of Reflection. The Roll of Honour in the Cloisters lists the names of more than 102,000 Australians who have given their lives in war and other operations over more than a century. At each ceremony the story behind one of these names is told. The Ode is then recited, and the ceremony ends with the sounding of the Last Post.
From February the Last Post Ceremony includes the presence of Australia's Federation Guard on the first and third Wednesday of each month. At 4.00 pm a catafalque party mounts a vigil at the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier in the Hall of Memory. There is a change of guard at 4.30 pm, and the catafalque party then participates in the Last Post Ceremony.
Live stream via webcam
To enable anyone in Australia or overseas to view the Last Post ceremony, it is broadcast live daily via webcam on the Memorial's website from 4.55 pm AEST. The ceremony is a memorable occasion, engaging visitors and offering them the opportunity to remember those Australians who have lost their lives in war and to reflect on their service and sacrifice.
Proudly supported by the RSL & Services Clubs Association, RSL Victoria, and RSL Queensland.

So I have already done ribs on Barry and they came out pretty good. I haven't done any brisket for a long time so I figured it was time to take care of that so I bought a 12 Lb. packer this afternoon. I trimmed all the deckle fat between the point and flat which pretty much ripped the point to shreds but it still looks pretty good. I then injected it with Butchers Prime injection using the following ratio:
3/8 cup of Butchers BBQ Prime injection for beef
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of Swanson low sodium beef broth
I injected all over the brisket point and flat trying to use a checkboard pattern, injected in the sides of the flat and in the sides of the point before putting it to bed in the fridge. Tomorrow after getting home I will pull it out and rub it with Butchers Premium rub before hooking it and cooking it on the barrel. I plan to cook hanging for 2.5 - 3 hours to get some color and apple smoke before wrapping it and cooking on the wire grate to finish cooking to 195. Here is the first pic for this series which is the trimmed and injected brisket ready to hit the fridge. I will add more pics tomorrow after rubbing and hooking and before wrapping and the finished product. Hopefully the Butchers stuff will work great for me and if so I have high hopes for the pork butts that I also have butchers injection and rub for them.
Today I started the grill around 11:15 and cooked the brisket hanging for 1 hour and 45 minutes then checked the temperature. Thermapen showed around 154 in the point and mid 140's in the flat so I went ahead and pulled it and wrapped it. After wrapping I cooked it an additional 1 hour and 45 minutes and checked the temps again. This time the thermapen was showing 205-210 all the way across the flat and point. I let it rest about an hour or so still foiled before slicing it up. When I tasted a little bit of the meat before I wrapped it I thought that I had gone overboard with the Butchers Premium Rub but after it was done and sliced up the meat was perfectly seasoned and I even got a rousing stamp of approval from the wife and she normally only complains about what I smoked on the grill.
Rubbed and hooked ready to smoke
Forgot to take pictures before I wrapped it so here is after it was done and rested and ready to slice
Here is the pile of sliced brisket
I even got a smoke ring

Lance Armstrong's US Postal Service Pro Cycling Team "ran the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen", the United States Anti-Doping Agency have said.
USADA chief executive Travis T Tygart said in a statement that there was "conclusive and undeniable proof" of a team-run doping conspiracy. Eleven of Armstrong's former team-mates testified against him, Tygart said.
USADA are sending their "reasoned decision" in the Armstrong case to the International Cycling Union, the World Anti-Doping Agency and the World Triathlon Corporation.
This will be the explanation for their decision to strip the retired cyclist, who now competes in triathlons, of his seven Tour de France titles and hand him a lifetime ban. The evidence, Tygart said, was "overwhelming" and "in excess over 1000 pages".
He said it contains "direct documentary evidence including financial payments, emails, scientific data and laboratory test results that further prove the use, possession and distribution of performance enhancing drugs by Lance Armstrong and confirm the disappointing truth about the deceptive activities of the USPS Team, a team that received tens of millions of American taxpayer dollars in funding".
Tygart also claimed the team's doping conspiracy "was professionally designed to groom and pressure athletes to use dangerous drugs, to evade detection, to ensure its secrecy and ultimately gain an unfair competitive advantage through superior doping practices".
Twenty-six people in total, he said, gave sworn testimony. Among the former team-mates who did so were Tyler Hamilton and Floyd Landis. The other team-mates who gave evidence against Armstrong were Frankie Andreu, Michael Barry, Tom Danielson, George Hincapie, Levi Leipheimer, Stephen Swart, Christian Vande Velde, Jonathan Vaughters and David Zabriskie.
Tygart praised those riders involved in the "doping conspiracy" for having "tremendous courage" to come forward and "stop perpetuating the sporting fraud". He said: "I have personally talked with and heard these athletes' stories and firmly believe that, collectively, these athletes, if forgiven and embraced, have a chance to leave a legacy far greater for the good of the sport than anything they ever did on a bike. Lance Armstrong was given the same opportunity to come forward and be part of the solution. He rejected it.
"Instead he exercised his legal right not to contest the evidence and knowingly accepted the imposition of a ban from recognised competition for life and disqualification of his competitive results from 1998 forward."
Armstrong has repeatedly denied accusations of doping. But in August announced he would not fight the doping charges filed against him by USADA, saying in a statement he was "finished with this nonsense" and insisting he was innocent.

OK, let's try this again.
I began yesterday with a warning post that it would be a slow day. I believe my actual words were "So I'm not sure if there will be anything of substance here today."
So, five posts, one fairly major trade, and a 2010-11 season record for traffic later …
Anyway, today I predict a busy day, starting with this morning preview, going through the naming today of the all-star participants, a pre-game post, the start of yet another potentially major snow storm, and a fairly important Original Six game against a conference rival, including the probable Rangers debut of Wojtek Wolski and the start of the post-Rozsival era.
Here are the pre-game notes, courtesy of the New York Rangers:

HOUSTON - As the Texas sun heats up the Houston area once again, firefighters offered some tips that could save lives.
"Every person behind me, every firefighter standing behind me, can probably attest to some stories over the years on what they've seen, especially in the summer months, that could have been prevented," said Thomas Munoz, an assistant chief with the Houston Fire Department.
Munoz and other representatives from local agencies held a joint news conference Thursday to remind people to stay alert and stay safe.
Topping the list -- take care of yourself. It's something we've heard before, but a reminder can't hurt. When you're active, drink plenty of liquids, even before you're thirsty.
Avoid caffeine, alcohol and excess sugar. Stay in the shade and wear lightweight, loose clothes that breathes. Take lots of breaks in your activity.
Number two on the list -- take care of those who can't take care of themselves. Never leave kids in a parked car alone for any length of time.
The elderly need your help as well. Be sure to check on your elder relatives, friends and neighbors to make sure they're beating the heat.

Sunshine State Conference Recognizes Former Soccer Supervisor of Officials
ORLANDO, Fla. - On March 24, former Sunshine State Conference soccer assignor Frank Jewell was presented with the first Don Landry Service Award. Commissioner Jay Jones presented Jewell with the award in a ceremony at Clare Bridge in Ormond Beach, Fla.
For more than 25 years, Jewell served as the conference's supervisor of officials, assigning referees to each SSC soccer game that was played over that quarter of a century.
Jewell was dedicated in his work and demanded that his officials act in that same manner. It would be impossible to find anyone familiar with the inner-workings of SSC soccer who did not know Jewell and did not have a high opinion of his character and service.
Fran Reidy, who is now the Athletic Director at Saint Leo University, once served as the men's soccer coach there. Reidy said of Jewell, "Frank took over for the legend, Ray Bernabei and not only filled his shoes, but raised the bar even higher with all the conferences he worked with. Frank was ahead of his time in terms of evaluations, feedback and assessment of officials. He brought a standard and professionalism to the group which carries on today."
Jewell retired from his long service following the 2009 soccer season. Upon his retirement, the administrators in the SSC knew that he should be recognized for his dedication and commitment to the league. As such, he was presented with the first-ever Don Landry Service Award.
Mr. Landry was the commissioner of the SSC from July 1994 until September 2004. During his tenure, the SSC established its first conference office headquarters and SSC teams won 24 NCAA Division II titles. SSC administrators felt it would be appropriate to name the unique service award in Mr. Landry's honor. They were equally convinced that there would be no one more appropriate to receive the inaugural honor than Jewell.
"It was an honor to be able to present Mr. Jewell with this service award," Jones said. "It would be impossible to adaquately demonstrate the level of gratitude that exists throughout our conference's soccer community for the years of work that Frank contributed. It is our hope that this honor will help his great work to always be remembered."

I want to know how to block specific countries from certain pages of my website. I want to block 4 countries or so from just my main page and another page. Can this be done cleanly? If so how?
Note: I would like the other pages that I don't include to work
Much thanks in advance!
Yes. Obtain an ip to location database (free ones are available, with lower accuracy than the paid versions), and use that to identify where the visitor is. You can either put the access logic in the pages (through some server side code which uses the database), or at the web server level (through MaxMind's mod_geoip for Apache).
Thanks but I don't have the knowledge to implement that technology, is there an easier way?
That is about as easy as it gets to be able to do that. Of course you also need to keep the list up to date as IPs are occasionally moved between countries. Also there is nothing to prevent someone in a banned country using a proxy server in a country that isn't banned to be able to bypass the block.
Thanks again, I'll try to get it to work with help from provider.
I use htaccess to block out undesirable countries from accessing my website. Before you do something like this though I would consider the undesired impact that this could have for your legit visitors.
Even if your target demographic is local, you might be blocking out some legit visitors who are using AOL as their ISP. AOL uses proxies and someone visiting your website might live in your town, but the IP address they are connecting from could be coming from Europe... or anywhere. Still, there is good reason, in my opinion, to block out certain countries altogether. I know many on here would disagree, but some countries just have too much "bad" traffic to be trusted anymore. Use Google to find out more, I am unable to post links yet!
Hi, if you don't want to use mod_geoip (and maxmind geo database) this site will generate .htaccess file for you:
In that case you need to block specific countries ip range....You can found out ip's by using following URL find-ip-address .org/ip-country/
It'd be helpful if there was information, any information, about the source and accuracy of their data. For all I know they randomly generate it.
I think this one is more accurate:
At least IP2Location databases are updated every month.
If you are using WHM/cPanel then it is easy to block entire contry IP ranges from firewall like CSF. For more details how to block entire country in CSF visit following URL:
I have found that blocking countries is a very effective way to reduce spam as well. It is also a good idea to block the proxies that they use as well.
There are several ways to implement country blocking but it is always a good idea to use a solution that prevents problematic users from coming back.

Current Density Plot with EC physics
I'm very new to comsol and was wondering if one is able to plot the electric current between two plates through a liquid (conductive) solution. I've been looking at the busbar example and see that in order to get the surface current plotted, the example adds a 3D Plot Group->adds a Surface-> Replaces the expression with the Electric Currents>current density norm (jh.normJ).
My question is: Is this same expression available when I'm using an EC stationary study?

Re: Current Density Plot with EC physics
the EC solves for V such that your conducting media has some current passing, but COMSOL will give you the current "density" so you need to define a spatial direction and length (an edge, or a Data Set Cut line) to get the current flow, to get the total current along a direction you need to integrate over some area (perpendicular to your edge / line)
Good luck

Impressive Renegades cruise to 5 wicket victory
Javinder Singh | cricket20
The Melbourne Renegades made it two wins out of two thanks to an easy five wicket victory over the winless Sydney Thunder at Stadium Australia in Sydney.
In a low scorer affair the Renegades chased down the Thunders victory total of 117 with ten balls to spare thanks in part to Aaron Finch (31) and Ben Rohrer (27) who lead the way with the bat for the visitors.
It proved to be another disappointing day for the Thunder who dropped their second straight match after they were restricted to a total of just 116-7 with Aaron OBrien (3-15) and Muttiah Muralithran (2-16) staring with the ball.
Chris Tremain offered so hope for the home side thanks to a quick fire 37 which came from just 23 deliveries and included two boundaries and three sixes to help the Thunder reach triple figures after slumping to just 60-7.

I do not understand why i get _blank""> in my html there is no double quote.
What is wrong with

Is this okay to use ?, as i get an error : meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
okay, what could i use instead of target="_blank" ? What is wrong with my
 tag ?
One more question. Is it ok to upload a site to another domain for testing out errors- or could it harm SEO in someway ?
What is wrong with my
 tag ?
exactly! you have

also I would check the source code that's generating your HTML, or maybe the data you are using. My theory is, it generates only an HREF. Target is a different attribute. So, if I am correct whats happening is you are sending this string : 'http://www.google.com target="_blank"' which is being placed in 'href="$yourString"' ... and thus 'href="http://www.google.com target="_blank""'
perhaps the string you send should look like : 'href="http://www.google.com target="_blank' but you wuld have to check both your data and your generating source
Sorry, but do sure what you mean by "data and your generating source"
Nothing. When you use a target attribute you reduce the options available to your visitors. If they want to open a link in a new tab or window then they will right click on the link and select the appropriate option for where they want to open the link. If you use that attribute then you reduce their choices on where to open it from three to two unless they know how to override your obsolete code in their browser.
You should be trying to make things easier for people visiting your site - not harder. When you make things harder for your visitors by reducing their choices they will leave your site and go somewhere that lets them choose to do things the way they want.
Trying to dictate where links open was something done back in the 20th century along with placing hit counters on the page and various other things that make a site today appear very ameteurish or extremely dated.
Thanks for your reply. I will not use target then. The reason why i want to use it, is i am afraid they will never find back to my page, If they click on 10 pages on the other site. They wil have to hit back a couple of times.
The question then would be, do you really need those external links? Why are you sending them to other sites?
yes, really do did to link to that page :/
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> what wrong here ?
Because "_blanl" etc. are deprecated now, if you really want to have it, you could use JS instead.
I don't see a problem with it. It's not an error. Personally, I prefer charset=utf-8
It'd probably help if I could see the code itself, for those other errors though it seems like there might be a mismatch occurring.
However, the ISO-8859-1 message might be just a "warning" in the Validator; ISO-8859-1 and windows-1252 are very similar encodings and the browser might assume the latter hence the error. Though you'd probably be better with declaring UTF-8. Also you could have forced the Validator to use: ISO-8859-1 if you really wanted though it's not usually done.
Robert, could you write what you are using with utf-8, btw it is a danish site does that mean anything ?
Is there a way to post link to my site, without google can see it ? would really like to show the site, and the problems i have. But i dont want it to show up when somebody google the site.
Probably the best solution is to save the file as UTF-8 itself, and use UTF-8 as the charset value since the document will be written using the Danish alphabet and some letters may have diacritic signs.
Perhaps the web editor you were using wasn't using the same encoding. UTF-8 can be used for all languages and is the recommended charset on the Internet.
I use the encoding declaration of the XML declaration on the first line of the page: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> though you may not want to.
I'd suspect you'd be better off using: <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /> since you be likely to be serving the file as 'text/html'.
my understanding is for HTML5 you can only use charset=utf-8, and should not use charset=ISO-8859-1
I read this just a few days ago, I don't remember where....
It really depends what character set your editor is using, but that is no different to earlier versions of HTML and isn't specific to v5. If you are confident that your editor is saving in UTF-8 then it's fine to use that. But if you're not sure, it's better to play it safe and use ISO-8859-1 or similar, and then you won't run the risk of characters being wrongly encoded.
The W3C documentation giving examples of how to specify the charset says:In each of the examples below, unless otherwise indicated, substitute the appropriate charset name for where you see "UTF-8".which I would take as good evidence that they don't require you to use UTF-8.
The W3C documentation giving examples of how to specify the charset says:In each of the examples below, unless otherwise indicated, substitute the appropriate charset name for where you see "UTF-8".which I would take as good evidence that they don't require you to use UTF-8.
What about on Tablets and other mobile devices ? I dont get, why in some cases it is not okay to use target_blank. Or is there some cases it is ok ? What about giving the user an option alert box ?
The target attribute was deleted from HTML in 1997 when it was decided that it is better to give your visitors a choice of where they want links to open. Even before then you could right click on a link to choose whether to open it in the same window or a new window. Now some browsers give the choice of same tab, new window in front, new window in the background, new tab in front, or new tab but keep the current one open. Specifying a target has the effect of removing one of those choices for those of your visitors who don't know how to disable the target attribute completely in their browser.
There are NO cases where using target are okay - if there were then the attribute wouldn't have been deleted from HTML back in 1997. You should ALWAYS give your visitors the option of where to open pages and you do that by NOT specifying a target.
Deleted ? Is is still here in HTML5 http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/browsers.html#valid-browsing-context-name-or-keyword and http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-html5-20100624/text-level-semantics.html#the-a-element
I still dont really understand why it is so bad. But it is valid html right ? It is just "your" opinion that it is not userfriendly, right ?

FrameMaker for Word: Landscape pages in Portrait documents [in depth]
About This Episode
Adobe Certified Trainer Barb Binder takes you through the simple steps of creating and using landscape pages mixed in a portrait oriented document. Unlike Microsoft Word, FrameMaker uses master pages, not section breaks. This eliminates a host of problems experienced by Word users when section breaks are adjacent to complex numbered headings or lists. You can either allow pagination to go through the FrameMaker landscape page, or around the landscape page.

There is a small Barbecue chain in the Portland, OR area that does a great job with Texas-Style BBQ. The restaurant's name is Buster's Texas Style Barbecue. They do catering as well as eating in their restaurant. In fact, Mr. Clinton had them out to the white house for a Super Bowl party during his administration!
All of thier barbecue is with mesquite. It's slow cooked and they offer beef ribs, beef brisket, spare ribs, sausage, chicken (half) and turkey breast. Because of the slow cooking using mesquite the meat is extemely tender and flavorfull. If you are not used to eating chicken and pork prepared this way you may be put off by the 'pinkness' of the meat. It appears not cooked completely but I can assure you, it is. The mesquite cooking process is more smoking than a traditioinal carcoal barbecue.
It is the best barbecue that I've ever eaten from a restaurant. Busters can be found at five location's in Portland. My restaurant of choice is at 17883 SE McLoughlin Bv Milwaukie, OR 97267 (503) 652-1076
If you are ever in the area they are deffinitely worth looking up.

A GROUP of Clacton traders is looking to set up a Mother's Day market.
Clacton Town Partnership is organising the event in a bid to bring local traders together and to start raising cash for this year's Christmas lights for Clacton.
The market will be held at Christmas Tree Island on Saturday March 9.
The idea is for relevant traders to come together and set up a one-stop shopping destination for Mother's Day gifts.
Some stalls selling cakes and gifts have already been lined up.
Clacton Town Partnership chairman Mandy Rosier said: "We are still looking for more businesses to come and take part in this.
"It is a nice way to get local businesses involved and will give them an opportunity to boost their sales a bit.
"We are especially looking for a florist and a photographer to join in.
"It will also help us start raising money for the Christmas lights and events this year.
"We are determined to get the town lit up and looking fantastic for the festive season. It is what the partnership is all about."
Any traders interested in joining the Mother's Day market can call Mandy on 07958249095.

Human // Nature
de James Garcia
Acerca del libro
As a photographer, I look for exceptional inspiration all around me. This is a pleasure and my curse. In 2012, I decided to document my year by taking at least one photograph every, single day. Within a few weeks I realized that if I didn't begin to explore the world that I live in with a photographer's eye, my images would soon become boring and lackluster. Slowly, day by day, I pushed myself to explore new areas, shoot from different angles, and imagine the world through the lens of a camera.
Over the course of that year, photography became more than a hobby. It became a way to express my creativity everyday and a newly discovered passion.
In 2013, I decided to focus that passion on portrait photography. When looking through the art created by other photographers, I always find myself drawn to images that contain human faces and forms in them. Everyone human is unique and beautiful, but it is the story of their lives that truly make them special.
Like humans, nature also has a beautiful way of being unique and individual. From the way a tree grows, to the crookedness of a branch, to the color of the leaves. Nothing in nature repeats itself in the exact same way. Two humans can approach the same tree from different angles and take two different experiences away with them.
From this idea, Human // Nature was created. This project allowed me to combine the distinctive human figure with the remarkable forms of nature; to
create something that is completely unique onto itself. With this work, it is my hope that others will realize the beauty of our fellow humans, and the natural world in which we all share.

Asus PadFone will solve the problems of "tablet hesitators"
0. phoneArena posted on 05 Mar 2012, 07:25
Asus has been making the headlines lately by saying it will be among the first companies bringing Android 5.0 Jelly Bean devices to market and explaining that it will wait until…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. MalakiMills (Posts: 257; Member since: 15 Jun 2010)
If this comes to verizon then I will definately be buying it (off contract unfortunately, couldn't pass up the nexus for my upgrade).
2. Jamus (Posts: 30; Member since: 19 Feb 2012)
My dinc is dying, my upgrade date is coming, and I want a tablet. Please come to Verizon and fix all of my issues at once :)
3. deago78 (Posts: 160; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
I hadn't thought of it that way. Not a bad angle. The only fault is that people are going to need more options than just a single smart phone that can convert into a tablet. I doubt the 42% of people who didn't buy a tablet will all find the same smartphone appealing.
4. Commentator (Posts: 3722; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
If this comes to Sprint sometime within the next 3 months this is my next phone. I wish the specs were higher though: 720p S-AMOLED, quad-core Qualcomm S4, and 1080p on the tablet dock. A man can dream, though...
6. Commentator (Posts: 3722; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Oh, and to answer the question posed in the article: yes, this does solve my problems. It replaces my dying EVO 4G, it provides me with a tablet, and the keyboard dock lets me write papers, spreadsheets, and presentations, so I shouldn't need my also-dying ASUS notebook any more.
5. theoak (Posts: 324; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
With the blur between tablet and phone ...
I am thinking of dropping my "phone" to a simple and easy "feature phone" ... no super huge screen ... so battery draining radios ... keypad only ... simple ... basic ... small ... portable ... fits in a pocket.
I will then get a tablet ... with a data plan ... for email, Facebook, messaging, Skype, apps ... etc.
I should save money this way too ...
9. bayusuputra (Posts: 963; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
haha! that's exactly what my friend is doing right now.. an old monochrome Nokia phone, and a tablet with 3G.. he said he never missed a beat..
7. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1121; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
Despite then lame, yet funny video.................this is a good idea because it eliminates paying for 2 spearate items! I dont like the screen size because its too small for me, but i can see alot of people buying it
8. AdamLeonard (Posts: 61; Member since: 24 Aug 2011)
Yes, the problem as they define it could be most easily solved by the carriers allowing subscribers to use their data plans on more than one device. Carriers are of course not inclined to create a system whereby customer utility is increased (especially where data consumption might increase) unless they get paid lots more money.
There is one other reason they don't want to allow pooling of data, though. A person could get a tablet and a phone and then give one to a spouse thus you really have 2 people using one contract.
Having said that, I would definitely look at this padphone idea if it were on Sprint.
10. conscious (banned) (Posts: 15; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Sharing data would be great
11. georgiejr (Posts: 5; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)
If this was an LTE phone then that would be awesome. will the Prime keyboard dock be compatible with the padfone tablet?
12. GeckoHA559 (Posts: 47; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Fantastic presentation clip here, not sure about the 5 hit combo moves though but it was really funny, great work with grabbing the phone/fone from the tablet/pad.
13. Chronos (Posts: 258; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
"Does the Asus PadFone solve your problems?"
Yes, it absolutely does.

check out exotablet.com/exotablet.htm hot on the heels at a quarter of the price - and you can use your current mobile so no need to learn a new phone.

My current smartphone is closing on the end of its life cycle and I really need a new phone. I'd also love to get a tablet, but don't want to spend lots of extra for it. I've dreamed of this even before Asus first announced it last year.
15. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
it's exactly what the Tablet Hesitatators need. depending on carrier availability this has the potential to be a big hit. it'll probably replace my dad's Bionic and it's Lapdock 500 unless the ICS update brings improvement to Webtop.
16. mercorp (Posts: 1043; Member since: 28 Jan 2012)
the padfone is a godsend.

Interested.... But I have a Galaxy Note... Deciding on whether to get this...
But it's another dual-core... T.T
18. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
it has an S4 which is substantially better. it would be worth it if you buried your Note into it somehow.
19. Deicide (Posts: 82; Member since: 02 Jul 2011)
Yeah, but Qualcomm's S3 processor was just plain out horrible after owning a Sensation and using the AT&T GNote. But I did look at the HTC One X, and it looked much more smoother.
If the tablet has the 1900x1200 resolution like the Prime Infinity then I might just get it.
Samsung should've made something like this when they announced the Note 10.1.
20. roscuthiii (Posts: 2246; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
Hmm, Verizon has said that they'd be starting shared data plans soon too...
23. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
does it solve a problem? heck yea. tablets right now are essentially large screen smartphones with very little that differentiates them. snapping your phone into a large screen (with its own extended battery) really helps the dilemma.

Her baby son Cole, in particular, seemed to catch one illness after another. No one knew Cole was actually suffering from something incredibly serious, an illness where even the most ordinary germs could put his life at risk.
"It just seemed like there was all the little ear infections, all the little colds, nothing too big, but it was just like one after another, after another," said Amy.
In his first year of life, Cole was sick a lot, but nothing raised any alarms. Then at his one year check-up, Cole received the chicken pox vaccine and ended up getting the chickenpox.
"When he developed it, we really didn't think anything of it," said Cole's dad James Yahara. "We treated it with the treatment plan like his pediatrician said."
But Cole got worse.
"The chicken pox spread to his lungs, he developed pneumonia, and we knew at that point, something was really wrong," said James.
Doctors eventually discovered Cole was suffering from a genetic disorder called severe combined immunodeficiency, better known at SCID.
"It's a condition where there is an important part of his immune system is lacking, which puts him at high risk for infectious complications," said Dr. Jim Connelly, a pediatric bone marrow transplant specialist at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor.
Without a healthy immune system, even a cold could threaten Cole's life, so he's now isolated in this hospital room at the University Of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital.
"Right now, he's battling two infections," said Connelly. "One is a chicken pox infection. The other one is a microbacterial infection which people with normal immune systems would not develop."
The hospital room is now their temporary home. Cole's dad and sister visit each day, while his mom stays by his side, doing her best to keep Cole comfortable and safe in an area about 300 square feet.
"He likes music and the trucks and books, but obviously, he'd like to get out of this room and go for walks, but we can't do that," said Amy. "It kills me to see him like this every day, every procedure, every O.R. What I have to look at is I'm doing this so he can live. There's no other choice."
Cole is on 15 to 18 medications, but he needs a bone marrow transplant to survive.
"The goal of the transplant is that it will replace the part of his immune system which does not work in him," said Connelly. "As that immune system starts to grow in his body, it will help him fight off his current infections and will eventually be there to prevent these infections from happening again."
Cole's sister Autumn wasn't a match, but a stranger in the national bone marrow registry is. Doctors hope Cole will be strong enough to have the bone marrow transplant in the next couple of weeks.
Experts said Cole is lucky to have found a match. Sadly, too often when doctors go to the registry, there isn't a match or if there is, that person is no longer willing to donate. Minorities in particular often have a difficult time finding a match.
Cole's family doesn't know anything about his donor, but they can't wait to share their thanks.
"They don't know they're saving a baby, but they're saving his entire life," said Amy. "I thank God every day for them. Hopefully, someday I can meet them and thank them, and they can meet Cole, and they can realize what they've done."
Cole's family is encouraging everyone to get screened as bone marrow donor, which could help countless other children like Cole. There is a special event called "Be a Hero at the Big House" at Michigan Stadium on November 4th from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. where visitors can give blood or join the organ donor registry or the bone marrow registry.

Compared to last week, feeder calves and short-yearlings weighing over 600 lbs opened the week 3.00-5.00 lower which turned to 4.00-8.00 lower by week's end. Lighter-weight steer and heifer calves traded unevenly steady with trends ranging from 5.00 higher to 5.00 lower with the higher prices again earlier in the week.
The tight-supply driven joy ride that cattle markets have enjoyed recently in the face of severe feed shortages and the struggling economy encountered hurdles in its path this past week. Pressure began with last Friday's USDA report that drastically lowered grain stock estimates and placed fear within the agricultural markets that rationing may become a reality (most likely through pricing).
CME cattle futures latched on to the lead balloon and immediately weighed on cash feeder markets which already entered the week with many outlets clogged from last week's heavy movement. More bearish news surfaced on Thursday that Cargill plans to halt production at its Plainview, TX beef processing facility, wiping out 4500 head harvest capacity per day. Nearby CME Live Cattle contracts lost nearly 8.00 in just eight trading sessions while January Feeder Cattle futures fell over 9.00. Direct fed cattle sales were 1.00-2.50 lower from 122.50-125.00 after the cash market nearly eclipsed the 130.00 all-time record just two weeks earlier in Colorado.
Many major salebarns in the Rocky Mountain state are seeing their heaviest receipts of the year during the annual Stock Show Specials that coincide with the National Western in Denver. Unfortunate timing of the volatile feeder market will cause wide price spreads in the marketing of these high-country cattle. However, many impressive sales of hardened winter proof feeders can be found around the circuit, like over 650 head of fancy 650-700 lb steers in Bassett, NE on Wednesday that averaged over 170.25. But overall demand was much better for lightweight stockers as more grass grazers enter the market each week with the understanding that supplies are already dwindling and will be down to a trickle by spring.
Not only can these light cattle achieve cheap gains if pasture develops, they can also be finished on corn from the 2013 new-crop. Calves under 450 lbs conceivably could get higher every day until June and any moisture between now and then should increase the rate of speed as these cattle have all the options.
Any calves much heavier than 500 lbs will be unfit for grass by April and unlike other times of the year, the bulk of current calf sales will not be offered back on the feeder market. Heavy rains and wintry conditions curbed receipts and demand in the deep Southeastern calf markets, but this area should reap the rewards of their ample moisture somewhere down the road. This week's reported auction volume had 58 percent over 600 lbs and 42 percent heifers.

Learn about late and long-term effects of cancer treatment so that you can take more control of your health as a cancer survivor.
Your cancer treatment is over, but the treatments that may have saved your life may also continue to cause side effects.
As more people are living longer after cancer treatment, more is becoming known about late side effects of cancer treatment.
Find out all you can about late effects of cancer treatment and use this information to help manage your health.
Late effects are side effects of cancer treatment that become apparent after your treatment has ended. Cancer survivors might experience late effects of cancer treatment years later.
Late effects of cancer treatment can come from any of the three main types of cancer treatment: chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. As newer types of cancer treatment are developed, doctors may find that these treatments also cause late effects in cancer survivors.
Keep in mind that not everyone who has cancer treatment gets each of the late side effects, and some people might not experience any aftereffects of treatment.
Different chemotherapy drugs cause different late effects. So if you didn't take the chemotherapy drugs that can cause infertility, then you aren't believed to be at risk of that particular late effect.
Radiation and surgery will affect only the area of the body they're used to treat. So, for example, if you had radiation to a part of your body other than your head or neck, then you won't be at risk of cavities and tooth decay as a result of your radiation therapy.
If you underwent cancer treatment as a child, you may be at risk of many of the same late side effects of treatment as people who were adults during their cancer treatments.
But you may also be at risk of additional late side effects. That's because children's bones, tissues and organs are growing rapidly during treatment, so cancer treatment can interfere during this critical time of growth.
As with late side effects in adult cancer survivors, late side effects in childhood cancer survivors will vary depending on the type of cancer and type of treatment. Additionally, the age at which you were treated may determine what late side effects, if any, you might be at risk of.
Some late side effects experienced by childhood cancer survivors include:
If you were treated for cancer many years ago, you may assume any health problems you have are related to aging, not past cancer treatments.
Tell your doctor what you know about your childhood cancer treatments. If your parents or other family members have records of your treatment, provide those for your doctor.
Talk to your doctor about the late effects of your particular treatment. In some cases your doctor will know what effects you're at risk of. But the late effects of many treatments still aren't known.
Your doctor might be able to help you understand what signs and symptoms are clues that you're experiencing certain late effects of your cancer treatment. Your doctor might also screen you for late effects of treatment when you come in for follow-up appointments after your cancer treatment is completed.
Report to your doctor any signs or symptoms that concern you. It's best to have them checked out so that, at the very least, you don't spend a lot of time worrying about what could be wrong.
If you were treated for cancer many years ago or are no longer seeing a cancer specialist for checkups, talk to your primary care doctor about late effects. If you think you might be experiencing late effects or your doctor isn't sure what late effects to watch for, ask for a referral to a cancer specialist.
It isn't clear that late effects are preventable or why some people might experience late effects while others don't. This can be frustrating.
Try not to feel hopeless. Take steps to make yourself strong and healthy, such as exercising and eating a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. This can help you to cope better with late effects, should they develop.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/4/2013 (1588 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I've had a lot of questions for Dr. David Hochman since being diagnosed last fall with the second-most-deadly form of cancer in Canada.
But this week, in advance of Tuesday's second edition of the Bottoms Up! fundraiser in support of colorectal cancer awareness and treatment, my questions were more about him than me.
Why did Hochman, the surgeon who saved my life last fall, choose the less-than-glamorous speciality of colorectal surgery? And, just as importantly, why did he choose to return home to Winnipeg when he was being pursued by prestigious medical schools in North America.
As it turned out, the answers to both questions trace their origins to a single word.
It was having both sets of grandparents here, and it was because Winnipeg was such a familiar and comfortable place for his kids to grow up, that Hochman came home. And, before that, it was surgeon Morris Broder operating on his critically ill father's perforated bowel -- and saving his dad's life -- that initially inspired the then 17-year-old David Hochman to become a surgeon.
"We're blessed as a community to have him here," Allan Hochman, David's proud father, was telling me Wednesday.
Not that Allan had to convince me.
Or, for that matter, my Free Press colleague Brad Oswald.
"Dave," as we both call the 38-year-old doctor, saved Brad's life by performing more than one complicated surgery.
So it was that Tuesday, Brad and I sat in a corner of the Free Press building's third-floor atrium, reminiscing about our experiences; he about his rectal cancer, me about my colon cancer.
It was the same more or less private place we had retreated to just before my surgery late last November, when -- choking back the emotion -- I finally shared my diagnosis with Brad.
I leaned on him then, as someone who would know how I was feeling.
Now, nearly five months later, we could both be more reflective. I told him about how caring the treatment was at St. Boniface Hospital. From the pre-op nurse's tender touch on my hand, to the porter who made me laugh as he wheeled me into surgery, to the comforting words of the anesthetist, Dr. Chris Christodoulou.
"We watch over those who sleep."
And then Brad and I both talked about how lucky we are. Lucky to be alive. And lucky to have a doctor like David Hochman.
I think we both felt the same about the always-smiling young man who isn't much older than my son and daughter; he treats us with the same care he would show his father. Or, as Brad will tell you, "like family."
That kind of caring comes, at least in part, from Hochman's life-shaping time as a high school kid, wondering if his dad would survive surgery. And the emotions evoked at that influential age. Later, Hochman would tell me he tries to remember those feelings when he speaks with patients and their families.
"The stress, the anxiety, the fear."
Which reminded me of something Brad mentioned Tuesday, the day before the fifth anniversary of his diagnosis.
He put his survival in perspective. He said if you average the numbers, over that five-year span, about 4,700 Manitobans have been diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer. And 1,700 have died.
Hochman uses other numbers to make the case even more emphatically. Using current estimates, one in 27 Canadian men, and one in 31 women, will die as a result of colorectal cancer.
The more tragic part of those grim numbers is that, as Hochman and anyone else connected with the disease will tell you, they don't have to be that high. Colorectal cancer can literally be nipped in the bud with a timely colonoscopy.
Early detection such as that stops the cancer and saves lives. Even in cases such as mine, where the tumour is removed before it has spread, nine out of 10 patients will remain cancer-free.
But you need to help yourself, by watching for changes in your bowel movement and insisting on a colonoscopy if you are 50 or older.
As for us, the fortunate survivors of the disease, I'll let Brad deliver the bottom line on how he feels about everyone involved in saving his ass.
And especially his friend and doctor, David Hochman.
"I carry with me now the feeling of a debt I can never repay."
Which reminds me, tickets are still available to Tuesday's Bottoms Up! cocktails and munchies fundraiser at Fort Garry Place. Go the website cancercarefdn.mb.ca, or call 204-787-1800.

Now that warmer weather's finally arrived I'm not thinking much about soups or indoor cooking but I had a couple of beef shanks that needed to be disposed of.
I salted them a couple of days ahead of time and let them grill indirect while I mowed the lawn.
Tender? No. Flavorful? Yes. All the pieces required at least a little bit of effort to chew but nothing truly demanding, and they definitely had a good beefy taste.
But the real reward was the marrow. I know some people don't care for it but I love it, especially when it's been grilled and taken on that unmistakeable beef-over-charcoal flavor.
