Tuesday Evening Cardinal News And Notes

We've now got a national champion bringing back the bulk of its scoring, a team with perhaps the greatest recruiting classes of all-time, another team with one of the greatest recruits of all-time, and then established stars like Marcus Smart, Adreian Payne and Doug McDermott who surprised a lot of folks (or everyone, in Smart's case) by spurning the NBA for another year. 

As you might have expected, searching Wiggins' mentions on Twitter between about noon and 3 p.m. was enough to make you almost lose complete faith in humanity. BBN had its fair share of morons, but UNC fans were also far from innocent in all of this.The whole variety of the brightest smartcard is now gathered under one roof. I'm sure a couple of Florida State football fans also got lost and decided to throw a few homosexual slurs out there as well. 

If you're reading this and you ever, EVER find yourself with a desire to spew hate in the direction of an 18-year-old who chose to play a sport somewhere other than the university you support, go for a run, take a nap, put out cigarettes on your arm, whatever, just do not do it. It makes all of us look bad. And I don't mean all of us Louisville fans, I mean all of us people. 

All that said, I kind of want to organize a social media attack on a random, non-athlete who recently chose to attend a state school for financial and locational purposes. Just bombard Timmy Jenkins in Des Moines for choosing to accept a partial scholarship to Northern Iowa instead of coming to U of L. I bet it would actually make him feel pretty special. After the confusion. 

Outside of the obvious reasons, Louisville fans should be excited that Wiggins isn't going to be Kentucky because he seems like a pretty hard kid to root against. I don't think you can say the same for a handful of the other youngsters who will be wearing blue this season. I'd expect this group to be much more like the Cousins/Wall team than the Davis/Gichrist one. 

>We're not even to the summer and we've already seen Andrew Harrison post this video, say he "hates Louisville," "proclaim" a national championship and claim that he would beat Michael Jordan in a game of 1-on-1...in Jordan's prime. Then there's Marcus Lee and Julius Randle saying their goal is an undefeated season and Dakari Johnson saying he's looking forward to being hated. 

The rise and fall of Milwaukee malls is a common conversation among longtime residents. Many remember C and converse about C when Bayshore and Southgate weren't enclosed, rather a collection of shops, and some locals lament the now-defunct Northridge Shopping Center that was the one of the city's premier shopping destinations in the '60s and '70s. 

The fall of Capitol Court is another sad story for some, particularly those who remember the Kooky Kookie House C a replica of a cookie factory C that was open during the holidays. 

The Grand Avenue Mall, renamed The Shops of Grand Avenue, is another mall many Milwaukeeans have strong feelings for. When it opened in 1982, there was wall-to-wall traffic and 80 shops.Guardian's standing drycabinets offers a temporary solution to tie off and stay in compliance on standing seam roofs. Now, although it is resilient and making strides toward a resurgence, it's still under-utilized with many empty retail spaces. 

Thankfully, apart from a "Nature" inspired theme with homescreen imagery fitting of the title, Disgo have pretty much stuck with the core Android Jelly Bean UI experience. Five homescreens can be customised to your liking,More than 80 standard commercial and iphoneheadset exist to quickly and efficiently clean pans. letting you add app shortcuts across the device from the app drawer. There are also a number of resizable Live Widgets pre-loaded on the Disgo 8400G; these are larger icons spread across the homescreens that offer live updating information at a glance. Calnedar, web bookmarks and contact details are among the pre-installed widgest,The whole variety of the brightest smartcard is now gathered under one roof. though others such as condensed Twitter or Facebook feeds, email inboxes or weather reports, for example, can be grabbed from the Google Play store. 

Google's Play store is a welcome addition on a budget tablet, with many manufacturers often scrimping on the effort it takes to get accreditation from Google. Over 600,000 apps are up for sale through the store, and unlike Apple, Google are open to more zany (sometimes unsavoury) submissions. Though it's slightly more susceptible to attracting hackers and dubious apps, there are also loads of really impressive apps available that can really add to your enjoyment of the Android experience. The catalogue improves all the time; whether you're a gamer, a reader, someone hunting news stories or recipes, a photographer or a blogger, there's something for everyone. Many are free too, and few cost more than 3 or so. The pre-installed suite of Google-built apps (including YouTube, Gmail and Maps), is impressive too, offering a wide array of functionality right off the bat. When it comes to mapping, Google's Maps app is far and away the best navigation solution available, particularly in comparison to the woeful Apple Maps. Likewise, the stock Android web browser is among the best on mobile devices, only bested by Google's own Chrome, itself a free download from the Google Play store. 

Using the stock Android contacts, dialler and messaging systems, it's a nice option to have if you've got a Bluetooth headset, though you'll look utterly ridiculous holding the chunky device to your ear for a call the old fashioned way. Text messaging though is actually rather pleasant, thanks to the larger keyboard afforded by the 7.9-inch screen. 

Gmail comes pre-installed, as does the stock Android email up for connecting up an account from another non-Google service, and both are of the same high quality that Android users have come to expect. Instant Messaging is handled by the pre-loaded Google Talk app, but of course you can download the one of your choice from Google Play. 

Typing away on the Digso 8400G has a nice and tactile feel thanks to its haptic feedback (something few tablets offer), but the sluggish responsiveness of the tablet made typing at speed difficult; if you can touch type at a decent speed you'll regularly overtake the tablet's ability to process your input, which can lead to spelling mistakes.Best home luggagetag at discount prices.
