SP3 pen stopped working; touch screen and HTC pen issues

    1. My SP3 pen suddenly stopped working today. I've never really used the BT button, and always keep the SP3 in airplane mode with WiFi on to save battery. So, that BT battery is most certainly not the issue. Replaced the AAAA battery with the one from my replacement HTC stylus, which is also new and works with the HTC stylus itself. No luck there either. SP3 can pair with the SP3 pen's BT, but no response when trying to use the tip.

    2. I'm also seeing a particular issue when writing. There would be times when the stroke would skip. I thought it was a SP3 pen issue. But now that I have to use the HTC pen, I'm noticing the same problem. Once in a while there would be gap in a stroke. Not sure if I am not pressing down hard enough or what. I try to press lightly to get a faster glide.

    3. Also, the HTC pen seems too sensitive. Sometimes it would draw fine strings when the tip is too close to the screen but not touching- like when going from letter to letter, or dotting the i.

CD Reviews

The End of An Era
Brian D. Mellies | San Francisco, CA | 07/02/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

""The Last Butterfly" is the final film score written by the great Alex North in a career that began nearly forty years earlier with the inestimable score he provided for Elia Kazan's "A Streetcar Named Desire". His work remained, to the end, as precious as a fine rare jewel. The title of this film could have been a tribute to the composer himself. Actually, the CD consists of about 20 minutes of music written by the Maestro, interspersed with music by Milan Svoboda. The film, I believe, was actually produced by North's son, Steven. While I in no way wish to minimize the work of Svoboda, I bought this CD for the work of Mr. North. After listening to the entire CD, my suggestion to those interested would be to program your player to play just the tracks written by Mr. North. What you will hear, in my opinion, is a beautiful elegy derived from the soul of a man obviously at peace with himself and his years. In his own typically unique and self-effacing way, the Maestro, with this work, bids a final and affectionate farewell to us all. That we could all end our destinies with such quiet grace. But, then, how many Alex Norths have we been given?"
Last Butterfly = Last Hurrah
J. A. Retzer | Phoenix, AZ | 10/03/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I bought this CD [Varese Sarabande VSD-5287] never having seen the film or heard a note of the score, but it was by Alex North and it was his final score (plus it was cheap) so there was little to lose; besides, none of my other North scores has ever disappointed me.

As a previous reviewer (and others elsewhere) have noted, the 45 minute CD contains only about 20 minutes of North's own compositions, with the balance being provided by Milan Svoboda. In my opinion, far too much has been made of this. It may be a sticking point for North purists, but for the average lover of a good score, it's really no big deal.

I popped the CD in and listened to it from beginning to end (listening "blind" as it were, without reference to the track listing) and loved every track. There was not a clunker in the mix and the musical landscape drifted by seamlessly from one vignette to the other. North's more studious compositions danced a charming pas de duex with Svoboda's folk-inspired pieces, and the chamber pieces harmonized gracefully with the cafe waltzs.

The CD was beguiling from beginning to end and bears up well for repeated listening. Both on its own musical terms and as Alex North's final bow to film music fans, The Last Butterfly is assured a place among my permanant CD collection. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."

Movie Reviews

So Much Potential Wasted By Odd Editing
ONENEO | Buffalo, NY | 03/30/2009
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I'll confess it: My love for robot-based anime has, on several occasions, resulted in my having purchased and endured countless substandard shows. I try to come on and review as many of the good ones as time permits but sometimes the not so goods deserve a bit of attention as well. Now don't get me wrong, everyone's tastes are different and one man's trash is often another man's treasure but the mecha series Jinki: Extend simply fails on so many levels that even the unique robots contained within can't salvage the muddled mess of a plot.

The simple summary of the show's entirely specious plot would look something like this: Based on a manga by Sirou Tunasima, Jinki Extend combines cute bubbly girls with giant robot elements. In 1988 Aoba Tsuzaki, a seemingly ordinary 13-year-old chick, who just so happens to spend her time building and painting robot models, is kidnapped by a cross dresser and taken into a war where giant robots, both new and ancient, engage in an ongoing struggle.

Fair enough so long as you don't stop to think too hard about the whole cross dresser element (which is used here merely as a gimmick) but in truth this represents the most logical portion of the prose.

Fascinated by the gigantic robot (Moribito-2), Aoba comes to know the machine's pilots, Ryohei Ogawa (the cross dresser who kidnapped her) and his father, Genta. In addition to loving robots all her life, it turns out that Aoba is a cognate, a human with special abilities to control such complex machines.

It's all downhill from there! The first sign of things unraveling is when the plot jumps to Japan in the year 1991 (without telling us this) where a branch of the Angel organization attempts to recruit a seemingly unrelated kid to pilot a Jinki (while another girl we haven't met yet) mysteriously looks on.

Suddenly our buddy Aoba (back in 1988) is torn between what she considers right and wrong when she starts to have feelings for a boy who happens to be the pilot of an enemy robot.

This may not sound too bad when written out like this, the truth is that whatever charm the first volume of the series introduced is almost immediately taken away by the start of the second disc. It would have helped tremendously if ADV Films would have had the presence of mind to toss a subtitle up whenever the story happens to alternates between events in 1988 Venezuela and 1991 Japan.

Instead the plot jumps between the two timeframe/ locations with alarming frequency, leaving the viewer with the daunting task of figuring out when and where they are. If the wacky editing made sense in the original Japanese release, it was definitely lost in translation!

The bigger problem then becomes the pacing of the plot. The fact that it bounces around so often never allows a full (or connected) story to take place. Instead the information is provided in small, meaningless fragments. Countless 1988 story threads fizzle out never to be touched upon again and several characters and events crop up in the 1991 timeline without explanation or congruity.

As frustrating as this is, there may be an even bigger flaw that takes away from the entertainment value of the show: The fact that many of the character models look identical! Especially when you factor in the physical aging that comes with treating 3 years time as if it were twenty seconds. Add names like Minami, Shizuka, and Shiva to the formula and good luck figuring out who is who in any given scene.

Jinki: Extend suffers continuously from a failed attempt to cram a huge (and confusing) cast of characters into a big clumsy story with only thirteen episodes to do it. Suffice to say, viewing the show in conditions other than those that allow for absolute dedication and concentration will result in confusion.

While I'm a fan of the logic that there's nothing inherently wrong with experimenting with narrative structure, Jinki:Extend's use of constant narrative cutoffs, flashbacks and unpredictable timeline jumps comes off as incredibly cheap. It feels like a half-hearted attempt to emulate more complex shows like Rahxephon and Neon Genesis Evangelion by "artistically" chopping everything into pieces. Worse still is that if you have the patience (and internet access to look things up) to finally make sense of the muddled plot line, it becomes alarmingly clear that what's actually there is thin and predictable.

About the only viewer who may enjoy Jinki: Extend despite its shortcomings would be those seeking attractive female models strapped into the cockpits of giant robots. There is no shortage of almost nude encounters (bath house scenes), puberty references, and giant robots blowing things up here in J:E. However, anything beyond the superficial begins to unravel quickly and completely nullifies the few interesting elements the show introduces initially."

Shopping for a Cute Laptop Bag or a New Work Tote for Women – Tips & Suggestions

When you are looking to buy a new bag for work there are a number of things to consider. With all the cute bags out there, it is good to really know what your needs are so you make the right choice. Here are some tips to consider:

1) What do you want to carry in the bag? Measure your laptop if you want to be able to carry it and don’t forget about extra space for the power cord.  Do you have a lot of paperwork that you need to carry to and from the office? Do you want to be able to tuck in an extra pair of shoes. Make out a list, or better yet, put everything in a pile so you really know how big of a work bag you will need.

If you have a lot of stuff to lug around, think about if a bag with wheels is ultimately what you need. They may not be as fashionable, but at the end of the day, your back and health are more important. At my last job I had two bags – one just for my computer and paperwork that I used to get me to and from the office and a separate bag that I used to bring selected items to meetings. Nobody had to see my roller bag except for the security guards at the front desk.

2) Color and design. Do you want to go with a basic black bag or do you want to make a statement with a bold color or funky pattern? Just make sure your work bag is appropriate for your office environment.

3) Will you be taking your bag to meetings and events? If you will actually be taking your work tote into meetings or work events, you will want it to look professional or appropriate for your line of work. I have worked at some companies where I only used the bag when I was going to and leaving the office. If a lot of people are going to see you bag, you make think about what sort of statement your bag is making. If you will be taking your bag to meet clients or potential customers, you want it to look great.

4) How much do you want to spend? Are you ready to make an investment and a commitment to a designer work bag that you will carry season after season, for a few years or do you want a bag that you can carry for the next few months? If you find a great basic bag, it might be worth splurging.

5) Do you really need a laptop sleeve? My short answer would be yes. Computers are expensive and it is always a good idea to give them a little extra protection with a laptop sleeve. It certainly can’t hurt. The most important thing to do is to measure your laptop to see what size you need. You don’t want to order a cute laptop sleeve that is too small. Typical sizes are 13, 15 and 17 inches.

6) Tote vs. Messenger Bag? Do you want to be able to carry your work bag over your shoulder? I usually call this feature ‘hands-free shopping’. Sometimes it is nice to be able to slip your bag over your shoulder and go, and have your hands free for keys or kids lunch boxes. There are times when I just don’t want all of the straps and want something more elegant like a classic tote so I often switch between the two. So many things to consider when picking out the perfect work bag!

News: Three Mike MacDonald CBC/Showtime comedy specials on DVD October 5, 2010

Mike MacDonald: A Comic Stripped will be released by VSC on October 5, 2010.  The single-disc compendium of his CBC/Showtime specials will MSRP for $19.98 CDN.  The listed running time is 130 minutes.

Mike MacDonald: A Comic Stripped covers MacDonald’s three CBC/Showtime standup comedy specials, On Target, My House! My Rules!, and Happy As I Can Be.  Extras include a commentary track and Mike MacDonald performing air guitar.

Mike MacDonald is the star of the 1989-91 CBC series Mosquito Lake, though he can hardly be blamed for that show being an epic comedy abortion.  More importantly, he’s the voice of Rip Friend in the Teletoon/Fox Kids cartoon Ripping Friends (2001-02.)

MacDonald is one of Canada’s great standup comics, and it’s too bad he hasn’t become bigger than he is.  How CBC goes from Mike MacDonald and The Kids in the Hall to Ron James and The Ron James Show, I’ll never know.  At least one of Mike MacDonald’s old films is out on DVD, even if it is Loose Screws.

Here’s Mike MacDonald from the 1987 Just For Laughs Festival.  You may remember 1987 as the year Eddie Windsor spent a few minutes desperately trying to wring laughs from a dog and a hoop.

Ten years later, Eddie Windsor was featured on The Worst of Just For Laughs.  WoJFL aired just after The Just For Laughs 15th Anniversary Special.  Guess who hosted The Just For Laughs 15th Anniversary Special?

Yeah, Kevin Bacon!  You sons of bitches.

 FEATURE: Calligraphy store owner develops cosmetics brand - Taipei Times

FEATURE: Calligraphy store owner develops cosmetics brand

By Jason Pan  /  Staff writer, with CNA

The process took a while, because Lin first had to rent a counter in a major department store to gradually develop brand recognition and build up consumers’ trust in his products.

Throughout the process there were obstacles to overcome.

“I had to maintain good quality and fortunately was able to link up with one of the top cosmetic brand companies,” he said. “We began to manufacture and introduce product lines with our joint brand names. Even TV soap operas with celebrity actors and actresses collaborated with us.”

Now, Lin not only has a store for brush pens and traditional calligraphy, but also his own well-recognized cosmetic brush brand.

Lin advised young people to pursue their dreams and achieve them through a lot of hard work and dedication.

“I did not give up my dream, but kept working at it,” he said.

“That was how I got into the cosmetics industry. One must have a discerning eye and mind the details, as there is a lot of knowledge out there to learn. To become successful, one must ask lots of questions and learn from the answers,” Lin added.

 Conservationists warn that humans are driving ‘sixth great extinction’ - Taipei Times
Thu, Jul 30, 2009 - Page 5　News List

Conservationists warn that humans are driving ‘sixth great extinction’

Earth is experiencing its “sixth great extinction event” with disease and human activity taking a devastating toll on vulnerable species, a major review by conservationists say.

Much of the southern hemisphere is suffering particularly badly, and Australia, New Zealand and neighboring Pacific islands may become the extinction hot spots of the world, the report warns.

Ecosystems in Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia need urgent and effective conservation policies, or the region’s already poor record on extinctions will worsen significantly, it says.

Researchers trawled 24,000 published reports to compile information on the native flora and fauna of Australasia and the Pacific islands, which have six of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. Their report identifies six causes driving species to extinction, almost all linked in some way to human activity.

“Our region has the notorious distinction of having possibly the worst extinction record on Earth,” said Richard Kingsford, an environmental scientist at the University of New South Wales in Sydney and lead author of the report.

“We have an amazing natural environment, but so much of it is being destroyed before our eyes. Species are being threatened by habitat loss and degradation, invasive species, climate change, overexploitation, pollution and wildlife disease,” he said.

The review, published in the journal Conservation Biology, highlights destruction and degradation of ecosystems as the main threat. In Australia, agriculture has altered or destroyed half of all woodland and forests. Approximately 70 percent of the remaining forest has been damaged by logging. Loss of habitats is behind 80 percent of threatened species, the report claims.

Invasive animals and plants have devastated native species on many Pacific islands. The Guam Micronesian kingfisher is thought to be extinct in the wild following the introduction of the brown tree snake. The impact of invasive species is often compounded by pollution and burgeoning human populations on the islands, which have outstripped their capacity to deal with waste. Plastics and fishing gear are an ongoing danger.

The impact of humans on wildlife is likely to increase in Australasia and the Pacific islands. By 2050, the population of Australia is expected to have risen by 35 percent, and New Zealand by 25 percent, while Papua New Guinea faces a 76 percent increase and New Caledonia 49 percent.

More than 2,500 invasive plant species have colonized Australia and New Zealand, competing for sunlight and nutrients. Many have been introduced by governments, horticulturists and hunters. In addition, the report says, average temperatures in Australia have increased, in line with climate change predictions, forcing some species towards Antarctica and others to higher, cooler ground.

The report highlights several studies that point to serious threats from diseases such as avian malaria and the chytrid fungus, linked to declines in frog populations. An infectious facial cancer is spreading rapidly among Tasmanian devils and populations of the world’s largest marsupial predator are believed to have fallen by more than 60 percent as a result.

The report sets out a raft of recommendations to slow the decline by introducing laws to limit land clearing, logging and mining; restricting deliberate introduction of invasive species; reducing carbon emissions and pollution; and limiting fisheries.

Education news and notes from Tampa Bay and Florida

Now an ex-principal

Anthony_giancola_1He bought crack while in his school office. He got arrested. Now Anthony Giancola has resigned. Superintendent MaryEllen Elia got, and accepted, the letter from the now-former principal of Van Buren Middle School just moments ago. Here's what he had to say: "With a heavy heart I respectfully tender my resignation from Hillsborough County Public Schools, effective immediately, due to personal issues I am attempting to deal with at this time." Assistant principal Allison Edgecomb took over until a new principal can be hired. Here's the letter that went home to parents.

Toys for overgrown boys: Appropriate or not?

Tarantino Allow me an opinionated moment here: There's a bit of buzz in the blogosphere over the release of action figures for the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez gorefest Grindhouse (which I have yet to see but really want to, because that's how I roll). That's right, Tarantino himself is molded in plastic as "Rapist No. 1" (check them at Amazon here).

Now, the fact that they made toys for this is not surprising. There's been an explosion in movie-related merchandise ever since the target audience for this movie (males 30-45, I would think) was old enough to grasp the concept of tie-in marketing. I was weaned on Star Wars toys, and when they came back in the '90s, I loved reliving my youth.

But that's not what I'm ranting about. I think the problem with Grindhouse is that the very same grew-up-in-the-'70s, zombies-and-strippers-loving youths Tarantino and Rodriguez are going for have, for lack of a better term, grown up. I have to go see this by myself because A) my wife won't go with me, B) most of the people I know don't "get it," and C) all my buddies who do get it have 3-year-old children to take care of these days, and Grindhouse can't compete with Flushed Away or Happy Feet.

So while Rapist No. 1 may be Tarantino's dream come true, box-office receipts are telling us his peers have moved on. But I'm sure the DVDs will make a mint.

Minor-league signees: Rhymes, Feliciano, Sanchez

UPDATE, 4:54: The Rays have confirmed the signings, and also announced they have re-signed RHP Matt Torra, who was with Triple-A Durham the second half of last season. All four will get invites to major-league camp.

BREAKING: The Rays signed 3 players with major-league experience to minor-league contracts, per Baseball America's Matt Eddy:

2B Will Rhymes, a 28-year-old who played 83 games for the Tigers in 2010-11, hitting .283. He spent most of last season at Triple-A Toledo, hitting .306. Rhymes was non-tendered, somewhat unexpectedly, by the Tigers after last season.

OF Jesus Feliciano, 32, who played 54 games for the 2010 Mets, hitting .231. He spent most of last season at Triple-A Buffalo, hitting .263.

RHP Romulo Sanchez, a 27-year-old who had big-league time with the Pirates (2007-08) and Yankees (2010), compiling a 4.04 ERA in 28 games. He spent part of last season in Japan, working in 15 games for Rakuten (0-2, 4.96, 19 Ks in 16.1 IP).

As long as we hate the Yankees, too, Darius Rucker is a Rays fan

Darius Rucker, 44, has seen the highs and lows of a music business career, and now he’s killing it on the country scene.

Getty Images

Darius Rucker, 44, has seen the highs and lows of a music business career, and now he’s killing it on the country scene.

Has there ever been a singer better suited to play a postgame gig at the Trop than Darius "Call Me Hootie and I'll Cut You" Rucker? After all, he's a rabid sports nut, has gobs of sing-along hits and, just like your Tampa Bay Rays, is one of the great back-from-the-dead reclamation projects of the 21st century.

Rucker, who will play a full set after the Rays take on the Orioles today, is also a heck of a nice guy; in fact, I'm 96 percent certain he'd never cut anyone. He deserves his feel-good story line. After skyrocketing to fame with Hootie & the Blowfish in the 1990s — charting with such radio liteness as Hold My Hand and Only Wanna Be With You — his career did the ol' tankola.

So the South Carolina native took a wild creative chance — a black man in Nashville?! — and it paid off. He's now killing it on the country scene, the first African-American since Charley Pride to light up Music Row with No. 1 (Don't Think I Don't Think About It) after No. 1 (It Won't Be Like This for Long) and on and on.

During an early-morning conference call this week, the 44-year-old with that unmistakably soulful croon talked Yankee hatin', comebacks and why country fans are better than pop fans:

First of all, Darius, no self-respecting rock star would ever schedule an interview for 9:10 a.m. on a Tuesday. What's up with that?

(Laughing) I'm a rock star with three kids! I'm a dad. I've been up for two hours.

We know you dig football — you even filmed a music video with your hero Dan Marino but what about hardball?

I'm a huge fan. I like baseball. And I like the Rays. I like anyone who's in the same division as the Yankees. I'm a Yankee hater.

What's more rewarding: killing it in the pop world or killing it in the country one?

This one. (Laughs) I'm remembering it! I'm not in the middle of the party like I was with the last one. I'm older, wiser. … I really didn't expect this. When I told my manager I wanted to make a country record, I didn't even think I'd get a record deal.

What's the main difference between country music fans and pop music fans?

Country fans and the artists that they love, they feel like you're their best friend. And I love that. I'm a people person. Country fans are loyal. Pop fans and pop radio are always looking for the next big thing.

Now that you're big in Nashville, are you a Titans fan? In other words: Do the Dolphins no longer make you cry?

No, no! I'm still a Dolphins fan. I still got the tattoo!

Sean Daly can be reached at or (727) 893-8467. His Pop Life blog is at

. If you go

Darius Rucker

The singer will perform after today's Rays-Orioles game. First pitch is at 4:10 p.m. Concert is included with game ticket. For information, go to or call toll-free 1-888-326-7297.

We Want Your Short Stories, Posters, and Demos!

We have three exciting keynotes planned for next year’s Tapestry, and we are looking to add speakers who want to present short stories, posters, and demos. The deadlines for the first two are coming up soon, but there’s a bit more time for demos.

The First Two Short Stories

To get things started, we have picked two great first short stories. Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic teaches people how to create better graphs that communicate their point more succinctly and clearly. She has written a book, Storytelling with Data, that goes into great detail on how to structure your presentations and get your point across.
Matthew Daniels creates data-driven essays for his website, Polygraph. His topics include sports, politics, music history, Wikipedia, and many others. All of them have narrative structures and are interactive at the same time.
Want to join them? There are three ways to present at Tapestry.

Short Stories

Do you have an interesting project to present? A new idea for how to structure a story? Perhaps you’ve done research in this area? Or maybe you’ve built a great story and want to tell us how you did it?
Short stories are 10-15-minute talks about a topic. Look through some of the past stories on our YouTube channel to get inspired and get a sense for what is possible.
A short story submission doesn’t need to be long; one or two paragraphs are typically enough. Give us an idea of your topic and why it’s interesting. Pointers to other talks you’ve given also help us to feel confident that you can deliver a good short story.
The deadline for short story proposals is December 1. We will review proposals and start accepting them a few days later, with the goal of having all of them decided by the end of the year (and probably before Christmas).

We’ve had posters in the past, but never a real posters program. This year, we are going for full academic-style posters. This is geared primarily toward grad students who can get travel support when they have an accepted talk or poster. Posters will be reviewed by the conference chairs, and you will receive a notice with a short review and either an accept or a decline.
At the conference, you’ll be able to show your poster and talk to people during the breaks and the demo session in the afternoon. We’ll make sure that posters are visible in the demo room, so they will get plenty of exposure.
Poster submissions are due December 15. We expect an academic-style poster abstract of no more than two pages (as a PDF). There is no particular style, just use reasonable judgment or use a style like ACM or IEEE CS. We’re planning on reviewing posters within a week, so you will know before the end of the year whether you’re accepted.

If you want to show a tool, an interactive piece, or something cool you’ve done with data, a demo is the best place. The demo session in the afternoon is extremely popular, and it’s a great way to show your work and to collect ideas and feedback.
There’s a bit more time for demos as they’re not due until January 15. But it’s never too early to start thinking about what you might want to show!
To propose a short story, poster, or demo, hit the “I want to present!” button on the Tapestry website and fill in the form. If you’re just looking to participate without presenting, use the “request an invite” button at the top of the page.
