I have to admit, I forgot it was lock day until Lemming Lock told me yesterday. But here it is, my Lock day movie. Sounds from www.dailywav.com, bitmaps found on google.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars July 8, 2009
This was quite the random contribution for Lock Day 2007,there wasn't much animation involved in this flash considering it was all real life pictures but what was funny & random was all the different audio clips that was playing and hear some of those gave me some good shock laughter so even though this was Lock Day flash was pulled out of your ass at the last minute it gave me a good laugh anyways. =)
Rated 4 / 5 stars May 26, 2007
That was pretty cool, considering most LL flashes have shitty sound, and no humor. I found it pretty funny.
What are you talking about? This is probably one of the WORST Lock Day movies today.

Steep Cliffs and Towering Spires: Dead Horse Point State Park
March 30, 2012 by Rex Vogel · Leave a Comment
Dead Horse Point State Park is perhaps Utah's most spectacular state park. The park lies on the same broad mesa as The Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park.
Dead Horse Point is a peninsula of rock atop sheer sandstone cliffs about 6,000 feet above sea level. Two thousand feet below, the Colorado River winds its way from the continental divide in Colorado to the Gulf of California, a distance of 1,400 miles. The peninsula is connected to the mesa by a narrow strip of land called the neck.
From the overlook, canyon erosion may be viewed on a grand scale. This erosion process has taken approximately 150 million years. Much of it is caused by the river slicing down into the earth's crust as land is forced upward. These powerful forces are still sculpting the fantastic shapes of the precipitous bluffs and towering spires.
Vegetation and wildlife in this desert environment exist on a very limited water supply. Plants have adapted by diminishing the size and physiology of their leaves—smaller leaves tend to lose less water through evaporation.
Most animals are nocturnal. They venture out in the evenings when the relentless heat has subsided and there is less need for water.
The Legend of Dead Horse Point
Many stories exist about the naming of this high promontory of land.
According to one legend, around the turn of the century the point was used as a corral for wild mustangs roaming the mesa top. Cowboys rounded up these horses, herded them across the narrow neck of land and onto the point. The neck, which is only 30-yards-wide, was then fenced off with branches and brush. This created a natural corral surrounded by precipitous cliffs straight down on all sides, affording no escape.
Cowboys would choose the horses they wanted and let the culls or broomtails go free. On one occasion, for some unknown reason, horses were left corralled on the waterless point where they died of thirst within view of the Colorado River, 2,000 feet below.
Park facilities
Park facilities include a visitor center, picnic area, and a 21-unit campground with flush toilets and shade ramadas. Water is limited. Visitors should fill their recreation vehicle water tanks before coming to the park. This campground is not suitable for large RVs. Nightly campfire programs and daily guided walks are offered from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend.
The Park has 10 miles of hiking trails following the canyon rim around the park. Entrance and camping fees are charged.
Dead Horse Point is reached by following the same route as the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands National Park. It is 23 miles from U.S. Highway 191 to Dead Horse Point State Park via Utah Highway 313.
Photo tip: Dead Horse Point is best at sunrise. For the warmest light, shoot between May 1 and mid-August, when the sun rises north of the La Sals, or from late October to mid-February, when it rises to the south.
Four view areas, ideal for photography stops, are located along the highway.
Don't plant yourself at the first spot that gives you a glimpse of the canyon below. Work the area!
Search along the canyon rim, for a Utah juniper or other foreground elements that will give your images more depth and interest.

Annotation: | Bill Shunn created this site on September 11 as a place where family and friends could post the names of survivors of the terrorist attacks. It serves as a useful snapshot in time, and gives a sense of the chaos of that day. In two essays, Shunn explains how quickly the site grew and became overwhelming. He also expresses the importance of viewing the official survival sites. The site includes a list of those who checked in on September 11, requests for information, expressions of support-both domestic and international, snapshots of the registry at different times of the day, links to official survival sites, news articles about his site, and finally a computer rendering of how Shunn remembers the World Trade Center. |
Excerpt: | On September 11th, 2001, in the wake of the collapse of the Twin Towers, I created what may have been the first online "survivor registry"%uFFD1a site where people could post their names to let unreachable friends and loved ones know they were okay. |

It's a milestone filled with memory-making photo ops. Making a big deal out of first-day-of-school photos makes your kids feel special, shows them that the ordinary is worth celebrating, and that mom and dad are proud of them! Be prepared to capture your wee one's new school-year adventure with these six professional tips from family photographers Bellamy Blue. Put Their Best Foot Forward What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 According to Bellamy Blue Photography: "Every great photo shoot is chock-full of props and wardrobe planning. Outfits for back-to-school pictures should be representative of your kiddo's style and the current trends — so we can all look back and laugh at our fashions years from now." Source: Bellamy Blue Photography 1 / 6 Be Prepared What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 According to Bellamy Blue Photography: "After the supplies are packed and the first-day outfit is laid out, take a moment to prepare yourself, too! Make sure your camera battery is charged and that there is plenty of room on your memory card. No need to have a heavy, expensive pro camera to get the shots — lightweight, durable, and a fast shutter speed is all you need to document the day! Make a mental "wish list" of photos you want to capture. What are your little ones excited about for their first day and what key moments do you want to remember?" Source: Bellamy Blue Photography 2 / 6 Be a Photojournalist What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 According to Bellamy Blue Photography: "Let your kids interact with others and document from afar. Be a fly on the wall and "camera-ready" from start to finish — brushing teeth, tying the new shoes, siblings sharing moments, and of course, all decked out in the first-day outfit. A great photo doesn't need a caption. Capture key elements in the frame that tell the story. Don't be afraid to move around — energize the edges of the frame, keeping your subject out of the center; get low and get high; and try as many angles and perspectives as possible. Photograph both horizontally and vertically and, above all, have fun and shoot, shoot, shoot (remember you can always delete unwanted files later!)." Source: Bellamy Blue Photography 3 / 6 Every Little Bit Counts What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 According to Bellamy Blue Photography: "Detail shots are just as meaningful as big smiles — get a shot of their outfit laid out on the bed, a close-up of the backpack hanging on the doorknob, their lunch bag in hand, or their shoes lined up next to mom and dad's for scale. If you're lucky enough to take a few quick snaps inside the school, document the classroom door, the teacher's name written on the chalkboard, your child's new desk and cubbyhole. All of these details combine perfectly with the "big shots" to create a storybook narrative starring your kids!" Source: Bellamy Blue Photography 4 / 6 Document Change What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 According to Bellamy Blue Photography: "Taking back-to-school photos every year in the same location or setting is a great opportunity to document your child's growth — under the same tree or on the front stoop, in the same chair or at the end of the driveway. Make a tradition out of it! Both you and your little one will cherish these shots for years to come." Source: Bellamy Blue Photography 6 / 6 Share the Spotlight and the Snaps! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 According to Bellamy Blue Photography: "Take photos of each child alone as well as with siblings, friends, the dog, mom, and dad. Give little ones a camera of their own and have them document the day from their perspective (old digital cameras, disposables, or go old school with a kid-friendly instant camera)."

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — When announcing Elvis Dumervil's contract extension Thursday night, Head Coach Josh McDaniels and General Manager Brian Xanders lauded the Broncos' sackmaster for his professionalism through this offseason.
On a Friday conference call, Dumervil said surrounding himself with a supportive group of family, friends and teammates proved the key to successfully managing a potentially uncomfortable situation.
"At the end of the day, I knew my value and there was no need to go out and pout the way other guys have handled things," Dumervil said. "Character is No. 1 for me, and I knew if I could bring the stats along with it, I'd have a good chance. Nothing's for sure, but I'll take my chances with that."
In 2009, Dumervil earned All-Pro status and his first Pro Bowl selection after leading the league with 17 sacks, cementing his status as one of the league's premier pass rushers.
Coming into this season, the former fourth round pick from Louisville wanted a new contract, but he also didn't want his contract to be a distraction to himself or his team.
Thursday's announcement ensured that when he reports to training camp next week his only focus will be continuing to perfect his technique as an outside linebacker and improving on his big 2009 season.
"(The contract) was something I didn't really want to dwell on," Dumervil said. "I was hoping to get it done because I wanted to go into the season all football. That was able to get done, so that was a blessing in itself, and I'm excited about that."
Since being selected by the Broncos in the 2006 draft, Dumervil has produced. He's tallied 43 total sacks, 11 forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries and an interception in 61 career games. The linebacker has provided at least five sacks each season, and his 13 multi-sack games rank second in the league in that span.
Now Dumervil can look forward to being a key pillar on Broncos' defenses in 2010 and beyond.
Less than 24 hours after the agreement became official, Dumervil said he's still basking in the excitement of the news.
"My phone got flooded with text messages from a lot of very supportive family members and friends," Dumervil said. "It was a great time to kind of sit back and realize what happened. It's still a little shocking. Not shocking, but it hasn't sunk in much. It's a great feeling to have."
Below are several notable quotations from Dumervil's Friday morning conference call:
On his development as a linebacker:
"I'm a long way from where I was last year, but I'm just getting started still — if that makes sense. Mentally, I feel a whole lot more comfortable as far as the position and knowing coverage assignments. It's not totally new any more, but the thing is I do have to work on a few techniques that I've got to really hammer on in training camp. I'm really excited about that."
On getting help from his teammates rushing the passer:
"If my sack totals go down and other guys make plays, that's what it's all about. It's not really about the numbers all the time. It's about how effective I can be."
On if his motivation changes with a new contract:
"I love the game either way. If I had a contract or not, I'd come out because I love the game. To me, (my motivation is) more personal as far as the guys who came in with me. It goes deeper (than money). People want to come into my head, it's like a maze. It's different than people might think it is. I have many ways to get me going. With that, I don't think the contract or me trying to prove I'm worth the money changes the situation to me."
On if he can improve going forward:
"I think I'm just getting started. I really do. I think this is a good opportunity for me to come into training camp and get better. Last year was the first year like I said earlier. Now with the same linebackers coach and kind of going over the same defense almost and being in the same system and not having to learn a new position, I think that favors me a little."
– Eric Detweiler

WCU Building Dedication
Updated: Friday, March 1 2013, 10:33 PM EST
Western Carolina University has a brand new Health and Human Sciences building.
The four-story, 160,000 square foot building open this fall but was officially dedicated this morning.
It's the university's first building on the west campus on Little Savannah Road.
The rooms are designed for health-related teaching and include specialized labs.
Funding for the $46 million building comes from the state of North Carolina.
The university's chancellor says the new facility has far-reaching implications.
Chancellor David Belcher, Western Carolina University, "what makes me most excited about the facility is what's right behind me...The clinic space in which our students and our faculty will be working with people from our area to deliver health care to people of Western North Carolina."
The new Health and Human Sciences building is home to more than 1200 undergraduate students and 300 graduate students.

Project #: 36 Name: Warnock, Scott (email@example.com; 215-895-0377) Department: English and Philosophy Academic Area: English/Computers and Writing
Title: Rethinking and redesigning a Web resource for online writing teachers
Description: Since 2005, I have maintained the Website Online Writing Teacher. This resource not only served as the launching point for my book Teaching Writing Online: How and Why, but it has become a go-to site for writing teachers around the world (over 30,000 pages views) who want to teach online. The site has won several educational technology awards and recognitions. Eight years after I created it, I still think it's a valuable and unique resource, but its design, technological presentation, and rhetorical approach have long needed to be rethought. For this summer project, I am seeking an undergraduate to work with me on the sizable task of recreating Online Writing Teacher. I am seeking someone who is a skilled writer; attentive to the rhetorical challenges of digital spaces; experienced in Web design; attentive to the organizational requirements of digital environments; interested in educational technology; and eager to develop research techniques, especially in the area of writing and technology. We will take apart this chronologically-structured, blog-formatted digital resource and redesign it completely, including more interactive tools, better visual presentation, and, mainly, a stronger and more robust design and presentation concepts.
Associated Independent Study: This is a rigorous project, and the sizable research and design opportunities would certainly lend be appropriate for an independent study in a digital humanities-style course. The final product of this course will be a high-profile, for my part of the academic world at least, Website.
Gained Experience: The student will gain an inside understanding of the field of writing and technology, particularly the subfield of online writing instruction (OWI). The student will learn about the most current research and practices in the field. The student will also think deeply about the technological and rhetorical choices involved in revising the platform and design of an electronic resource. I have a good history of helping students present and publish. I have worked with humanities fellows three times, and my goal as an advisor is to provide you with professional opportunities far beyond our time together. The 2007 fellow used the results of our summer project as a means of helping her secure a job after graduation at a major research university. The 2008 fellow and I published a co-authored paper in The Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks. The 2009 fellow helped launch a project that showed how different teaching strategies result in positive, measurable changes in student writing. In 2010, I worked with a Drexel Research Co-op, and that student presented a paper with me at a conference and has co-authored a journal article with me. You will have similar opportunities.
Outcome: The final product will be the revised scholarly Web resource, Online Writing Teacher. It will be a tangible product for the student to include in her/his portfolio. We will have opportunities to propose conference talks highlighting our collaboration and describing the technical, rhetorical, and research decisions involved with our revision.
Tasks: See above. You will be working with me on all aspects of revising this Web resource. You will have plenty of guidance but you'll be able to self-structure your time as best suits you.
Location: You and I will meet during the summer in my office in the Drexel Writing Center. You will be able to do much of this work remotely.
Meetings: We can set up a flexible meeting plan based on our schedules. I expect us to meet several times early in the summer and then several times at the end of the 10-week period. Much of the work in the middle weeks can be done remotely by you. This is a sizable, challenging project, and the question is not where it gets done, but that it does indeed get done.
Interview Availability: March 5, March 6, March 7

Section 110.3(B) of the NEC states that any appliance of piece of equipment must be installed by the instructions so to install an appliance on a 20 ampere circuit when the manual states for it to be installed on a 15 amp circuit is a code violation.
As far as the appliance itself one could use jumpers from the meter base and the appliance wouldnt care as long as it had current flow. The overcurrent device is installed to protect the conductors not the appliance so it wouldnt care if it was wired straight to the transformer. Believe it or not but that surge protector or plug strip with the radio/tv/whatever plugged into it dont care either but the owner might when the insulation starts smoking. These devices are one of the leading causes of fire in our homes today so why put them to the test?
It would only by a violation if there was something in one of the manuals for one of the appliances that called for a 15 amp circuit but common sense plays a role here also. When using things like extension cords and plug strips the fact that 18 gauge conductors are only good for 7 amps and 16 gauge conductors are only good for 10 amps why would someone want to plug one into a circuit that has 25% more heat energy available? Could it be that they believe that that 20 amp circuit is somehow better?
What role does 10 receptacles play in this discussion? This is a dwelling unit not a commercial or industrial installation where the load is calculated on the device but is instead calculated on the square feet.
In commercial and industrial installations all duplex receptacles are to be calculated at 180 volt amperes each. The reason for this is that one will not be installed unless it is planned on being used. In a dwelling unit we must install receptacles per 210.52 at regular intervals. These devices are sometimes never used so there is no need to figure them at 180 volt amperes each but instead at 3 volt amperes per square foot.
All of this thinking of 20 ampere circuits for dwelling receptacles and separating the lights from the receptacles comes from commercial and industrial installations. The adage was passed from the commercial trade to the residential trade through commercial electricians that only did commercial and industrial installations then one day doing a dwelling and using what they had learned.
A quick look at 210.21 through 210.23 one will learn that if a 15 amp receptacle is being installed then the maximum load that can be plugged into it is 12 amps and it doesnt matter if it is a 15 or 20 overcurrent device.
So what does one gain by installing 20 amp circuits and not installing 20 receptacles? Nothing. What does one gain by installing 20 amp circuits and 20 amp receptacles? The cost of the 20 amp receptacles are twice that of 15 amp receptacles. Their only gain is more cost and a waste of our natural resources.
So is the 20 amp circuit for a dwelling unit better than a 15 amp circuit? It depends on who you talk with. Those that I talk with say no the 20 amp circuit is more dangerous than a 15 amp circuit. These are some of the greatest minds in the electrical trade not some master electrician that has retired nor is it some unfounded wives tale that was started many years ago. It is those who are charged with writing, testing, and researching the codes and installations for electrical energy.

Bass Pro Shops® Premium Reusable Split Shot Weights
Our Premium, Reusable Split-Shot Weights are made of 100% pure soft lead. Uniform shot has a deep, centered slit for maximum hold.
Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 16
Rated 5 out of 5 by SkeeterZX200 Great Weight
These weights are easy to put on or remove and adjust when throwing a split shot rig, when pinched on the weight doesn't slide up and down the line either
November 3, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by ChristopherB No good.
These are a poor choice if you're looking for split shot that can be used more than once. I know split shot isn't supposed to last forever, but the very first time you remove one of these it will be useless after that. The 'hinge" part is so soft that before the mouth of the split shot opens back up you will have smashed the two hinge sides together. I don't know if it's how they're made or what, you would think all split shot is more or less the same, but I have re-used other brand name split shot several times before the individual shot is smashed and useless, with these BassPro split shot they get smashed the first time. Stay away from them.
December 27, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by customrod terrible split shot
The quality of this split shot is awful. I have tried it in multiple sizes and in all cases the slits are not cut properly which makes crimping them on the line difficult. Additionally, the molded ridge in the center of the slit does not hold on the line well. I am constantly having to crimp the split shot more to keep it from sliding on the line, which typically results in a flattened out split shot that can't be removed from the line. I've never had these problems with Water Gremlin split shot. I'll stick to that whenever possible from now on.

They are #3 and BB size split shot. Small and light weight to use on my ultra-lights.A:
Depends on claritity and depth of the water Always go as light as possible, experiment to see what the fish tells you Some time a small split shot will work better than a heavier one that gives YOU a better feel of the botom, but if they want a slow drop you have to back off the weight. Rule of thumb use as little weight as possible. Wind can make a big difference in casting and keeping slack out your line so you can see any movement OR LACK OF MOVEMENT in you lineor If somethig is different SET THE HOOKDetails:
i drft fish for salmon in new york and need a fairly heavy splitshot for the rivers. any ideas as to the better size? i usually use a 4.Answers
Depending on how much weight you need, I would actually recommend using smaller sized egg sinkers for this application. That way you don't have to worry about them falling off. As far as keeping them stationary on the line i use a wooden toothpick inserted in the hole with the line, and you can adjust as needed. Hope this helps.A:
i dont fish for salmon but i do recommend using anything from size #5 to #0. So i think #4 is okay.1 of 1

York business leader honored by state
YORK Thomas F. Drumwright, regional human resources manager for Meritor Inc., was honored last week as an Ambassador for Economic Development by the S.C. Department of Commerce.
The honor, part of South Carolina's Industry Appreciation Week, took place March 19 in Columbia on the grounds of the Governor's mansion. It highlighted 47 individuals from 46 counties for their exceptional efforts to bolster community and economic development activities in the state.
Drumwright led the effort to establish the manufacturing operations certificate Program at the Floyd D. Johnson Technology Center in York. The program was approved by the school board will be implemented at the start of the 2013-2014 academic year. He also serves on the Western York County Human Resource Roundtable, a local business group dedicated to local labor issues and employment in York County.
Working with the school district and local manufacturing companies, Drumwright established a four-year curriculum centered on the skills local companies demanded. His efforts to bridge the gap between students' skills and the needs of manufacturing companies are enhancing economic development in York County.
Each year the Department of Commerce joins local communities to thank businesses for their contributions to South Carolina's economy. The Department of Commerce kicks off Industry Appreciation Week each year by recognizing local leaders as ambassadors.

A faceless, nameless story about Sam Gagner
Alex Ovechkin puts pucks on net like no one else in league history, save Phil Esposito.
How many top players currently scheduled to make it to unrestricted free agency will actually get there?
"We don't want to take any of [Justin Schultz's] skills away from him, and he's starting to buy in to recognizing danger a little bit, and trying to play a little bit more defensive. But when we got down in that game, that's when you've got to let him loose."
That's Dallas Eakins responding to a question about Justin Schultz after last night's game. The question framed Schultz's play positively. Eakins both agreed with the positive and acknowledged some of the learning that the coaching staff is asking Schultz to do. It will be interesting to see how Schultz's decision-making and defensive play improve throughout the season.
How many top players currently scheduled to make it to unrestricted free agency will actually get there?
Shooters had a slight advantage over the goaltenders compared to 2011-12, and it came mostly at the expense of starting goaltenders, not backups.
Predictably, fans freak out
Just two men account for over 1/3 of the league
Hall's first three seasons were in line with some all-time greats. Can he keep it up? What does he have to do to match those greats?
Well, Dean Lombardi can, anyway.
Eberle's got the goods, but who does he compare to?
We're sorry for the way you've been treated.
The Oilers have company in being the worst at the draft table after the first round.
How many points will a healthy Jordan Eberle score in the 2013-14 season?
The Oilers roster is set, so why not make our own personal mutual fund?
A reader thinks Boston's mistakes are the Oilers to bear.
For the first time in four years, the Oilers don't have the first overall pick in the NHL Entry Draft. Should the Oilers trade up, hold steady, or trade down?
Biblical Oilerpretation details what led up to the firing of Steve Tambellini and hiring of Craig MacTavish.
Oilers fans recoil from the suggestion that Jordan Eberle should be traded.
What would you take in exchange for each of the Oilers?
The Oilers promoted Ralph Krueger from Assistant to Head Coach yesterday. Is this typical in the NHL?
Dale Tallon in a Panthers sweater. Sure.
Congratulations to Colin Fraser and the Los Angeles Kings.
Another reader with hate for Sam Gagner. And me.
Sam Gagner remains under fire...

New iPods with Docking Stations Coming Soon
Think Secret is reporting that Apple will introduce two new iPod models by end of April, along with Apple's new music service.
Also, noted in the report, new PC models will feature USB 2.0. According to an artist rendering the control buttons (play, pause, rewind, fast forward) have been moved from around the touch wheel to below the LCD display on all new models. The pricing for each new model; 10GB $299, 15GB $399 and 30GB $499.

I bought my iPod in January, that $100 price drop and new features is just going to bug me a bit, but at the same time I am glad I didn't wait for the iPod. I'd rather have three months with it, than three months waiting for it.
Posted by riffola on April 10, 2003 at 7:25 AM (PST)
I'm getting mine tomorrow as a birthday gift. I dont really care that much though. I will have one of the last 20gb iPods. The new features are really just design changes. And the docking station really doesnt matter that much. I'm a little peeved, but i will be competely happy with what i get.
Posted by kaptnkrunch in Boone, NC on April 10, 2003 at 3:23 PM (PST)
This rumor is probably not trye (like every one of those rumors from those sites are) but if it is true, I just hope Apple keeps Firewire support for Windows. I will freak if they don't! Most of us PC users don't have USB 2.
Posted by mongoos150 in Tucson, AZ on April 10, 2003 at 6:02 PM (PST)
Actually, it probably is true. Think Secret is usually pretty reliable. That 30GB sure is tempting…it's time to upgrade my orginal 10GB.
The site says that USB 2.0 support has been added (not replacing firewire). What PC doesn't have USB 2.0 these days? It's macs that don't have USB 2.0 support. PC's are the reason is it being added.
Posted by square in York, PA on April 11, 2003 at 12:24 AM (PST)
I like the dock, but I think the reposition of the buttons is horrible. I might just look for a discounted 20gig and call it good. I think the current style is perfect and doesn't need changing beyond adding a larger hard drive or added software functionality like dynamic playlists and full parametric EQ.
Posted by Xenious on April 11, 2003 at 5:52 AM (PST)
if there is a new ipod there better be alot of new things to it cuz i dont realy feel like spending another 500 bucks just for a new dock. Color screen wud kick, so wud a larger battery
Posted by Nate4 on April 11, 2003 at 6:24 AM (PST)
just waiting for the new models my 5 gig windows died after 3 months, luckey i had the xtra warranty from compusa and just have to wait for stockand hope the 10 gig drops price and stays the same without the new buttons. Dont need no stinking new buttons
Posted by justaguy in new orleans on April 11, 2003 at 1:36 PM (PST)
i am agreeing with the first comment. i got mine the last week of december 2002, and yea the fact that they dropping prices and adding new stuff to what i thought was the best ipod (i got the 20 gig) gets me a lil mad, but having it for these three months sure has been the best! but thats technology always updated…and besides, "I'd rather have three motnhs with it, than three months waiting for it." - riffola
Posted by SkuzE in New York City on April 11, 2003 at 2:30 PM (PST)
the interface 'improvements' and the hard disk sizes don't make sense in terms of reality ... apple is known for their interface design, so the new concept doesn't fit with their style.
also, from what I've heard, samsung doesn't actually make a 15 or 30 gig mini-hard drive like the 5/10/20 that the ipod uses.
Posted by ericg in seattle on April 12, 2003 at 9:53 PM (PST)
IMHO the iPod is simply plagued by its inherent good looks being prone to scratches which simply break my heart. The docking station would call for a "naked" pod to be docked and simply wont do as an everyday affair. Apple should take a cue from the Ipaq for a dock which might require a major design revamp again leading to more issues. I think the current design is superb, but im not too choosy.
Posted by Strykar in India on April 14, 2003 at 8:55 AM (PST)
- Some kind of docking is good. Currently only upside down is possible, and that is pretty weird. For this feature alone I would upgrade. Think about the possiblities in the car, at the home theather, nex to PC. Of course docking should be for Audio + Charge + FireWire.
- No need for buttons, Wheel + click is enough. More buttons, the uglier.
- No color screen, pleez! It is a battery hog, and ipod is for music not for pretty pictures.
- Bigger battery would be nice but 10+ hrs is more than acceptable.
- Limited FireWire host capability for CompactFlash picture downloading. This would be wonderful.
- 30+GB sizes. (dreaming)
Posted by pbox on April 14, 2003 at 11:10 AM (PST)
I agree, as the new buttons are disturbing and screw with the aesthitics. Also agree why have color for device when was only only designed for playing music/storage, you want color go buy crayons, drains way to much on batteries, just take look at orignal gameboy, simplicity was its key to fortune, anyone remember Sega Gamegear, Atari Lynx or NECs handheld?
Posted by AcidSquid on April 14, 2003 at 6:37 PM (PST)
I agree that the new dock will be a problem � the iPod will need to be mounted without protection (unless some smart case manufacturer can find a way round this), leading to extra risks of scratching etc.
Of course, this wouldn't be so bad if the iPod wasn't so ludicrously prone to surface damage. I can think of no manufacturer other than Apple who would encase a portable unit in such a scratch-inviting finish. They did the same with their iBook and the things looked like junk after a few weeks in the real world. They have corrected that with the new iBooks (textured metal-finish that is much tougher) and I'd hoped that look/finish would work its way through to iPods. The iPod is a very useful device, but I cannot adequately express my frustration that industrial designers should create a highly mobile product that is so feather-delicate to even the most careful hand-held use. Even gentle wiping with the softest cloths causes fine scratches. The iPod materials are as delicate as a CDs playing surface! It astonishes me that consumers accept this feeble quality of materials in exchange for eye-catching-but-short-lived good looks at time of purchase.
Its actually quite preposterous that Apple have put showroom looks before any kind of ability to avoid cosmetic wear and tear. Two thumbs way down if the new iPods show no signs of improved durability.

Dow Dives 785 Points
Updated from 1:10 p.m. EDT
U.S. stocks dropped violently Monday, as it became apparent that the credit crisis had spread beyond America into Europe and Asia.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 738 points to 9599, breaking well below 10,000 for the first time since October 2004. The S&P 500 gave back 85 points to 1015. The Nasdaq dropped 155 points to 1793.
In a sign of a global financial crunch, leaders from France, Germany, Italy and the U.K. met Saturday and agreed to coordinate efforts to prevent failures by Europe's banking institutions.
A scramble ensued to help troubled institutions. Germany rescued lending company Hypo Real Estate, and France's BNP Paribas said it would take over Benelux bank Fortis NV. Germany's chancellor, Angela Merkel, announced that Germany would guarantee all of its private bank deposits. On Monday, Denmark followed suit. Back in the U.S., the Federal Reserve was initiating its own plans Monday to prop up stagnant credit markets. The central bank announced it would pay interest on bank reserves it holds and expand its term auction facilities program. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal said that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson would appoint adviser Neel Kashkari to supervise the $700 billion bailout program for the financial system. Paulson's proposal passed the House of Representatives and was signed by President Bush on Friday. Stocks sold off sharply shortly after the bill passed. "What's different today is the bailout package came and went, and it's not going to solve the problem," said Bill Fleckenstein, hedge fund manager at Fleckenstein Capital Management. He said the selloff into the close Friday indicated that stocks are trending lower. "If we wind up having a crash the next couple days I wouldn't be surprised. That's what the tipoff from Friday was," he said.Select the service that is right for you!

Barbary Countdown: Night Train with Wyatt Cenac [16 Days Left]
[I love Wyatt Cenac's relationship to this City. Not only is he featured in The Daily Show, the fuel for leftist discontent (that is an element of the Bay Area's identity), he's a lead actor in one of best love/hate cinematic mixtapes for San Francisco: Medicine for Melancholy. Wyatt, like a modern day Bill Cosby (who loaned $50,000 to the birth of blaxploitation), has always put money-to-mouth in regards to progressing African American expression (see: An Oversimplification of Her Beauty, (I saw it at the Roxie (pretty great))), a fact revered by Courting Comedy (hint, I'm black). While, Medicine for Melancholy — available now on Netflix — features many of the mumblecore trappings that make my blood boil, it's a pretty awesome prelude to Cenac's appearance this year's Outside Lands Festival]

President Obama's announcement of Sally Jewell as his choice for Secretary of the Interior Wednesday prompted reaction from Alaskans in the resource development field as well as environmental preservationists.
Nicole Whittington-Evans, Alaska Regional Director for The Wilderness Society, describes the position as "extremely important." She said Wednesday, "We have a large amount of federal public lands, and the Secretary of the Interior oversees those public lands."
Jewell is a former oil company engineer and longtime conservation advocate. That background, along with her lack of experience, politically sets her apart as a unique candidate for the job.
Rick Rogers, Executive Director of the Alaska Resource Development Council, said of Jewell, "If she's the type of person who understands the importance of our natural environment for all kinds of uses including oil and gas development, recreation, tourism, fishing, mining, forestry--then she's going to do a great job."

1The NCAA Tournament's field has officially been trimmed to the Sweet 16, and local hoops program, the Syracuse basketball team, is still alive and need a few more victories to make the Final Four in New Orleans, La., March 31-April 2.
For the next few days, SB Nation New York will be breaking down the Orange's next March Madness contest against the Wisconsin Badgers on Thursday in Boston, Ma. (7:15 p.m. on CBS). For more on Syracuse vs. Wisconsin, check back to this StoryStream.
Meanwhile, here's Part I of our preview: X-factor
Syracuse Orange (33-2)
The flashy names to be tossed around come Thursday, will be senior forward Kris Joseph, senior point guard Scoop Jardine and sophomore guard Dion Waiters, however, there's no doubting that the defensive play of freshman center Rakeem Christmas (6-foot-9, 222 pounds) will be the x-factor against Wisconsin.
Entering the Orange's Sweet 16 match-up with the Badgers, many experts are focusing on the defense of the Badgers and what their stout man-to-man defense can do against Syracuse "up-tempo" offense. Well, despite what people think, the Orange's offense hasn't been the reason why they have won 33 games, instead, its the 2-3 zone defense which was mainly manned by sophomore center Fab Melo.
Now, that Melo is out for the remainder of the season, the defensive burden has been placed on the shoulder of Christmas, who has the athletic ability to be a defensive stud, however, is still raw and is prone to make mistakes that a first-year player can.
With that said, Christmas has proved himself before, as he played well (eight points, 11 rebounds and three blocks) in the Round of 32 victory over Kansas St. Wildcats, and was stellar (four points, nine rebounds and three blocks) in a start earlier in the season at the Cincinnati Bearcats, another Sweet 16 team.
If Christmas can be as productive against Wisconsin, Syracuse will have a great chance of advancing to the Elite 8.
Wisconsin Badgers (26-9)
Though the Badgers ultimately go as senior guard Jordan Taylor goes, the senior point guard has proven an ability to almost always turn it on the latter portions of games, especially one's in which he struggled early on. For that, he's not necessarily Wisconsin's X-factor moving forward.
Rather, that moniker belongs to Mike Bruesewitz. His recently improved play has ignited the Badgers as they play what appears to be their best basketball of the season. With a productive Bruesewitz, Wisconsin not only gets those prized hustle plays and rebounds, but it gets a player who can do nearly every Sophomore guard Ben Brust thing on offense - shoot from all around the court, drive and dish.
If Bruesewitz continues to play well, a much smaller burden falls on and Wilson to spell the Badgers' starting five. That, of course, bodes well for Wisconsin's balanced scoring, which has been the most noticeable benefit of this recent stretch of strong play.

Le Chine Wok sizzles up an MSG-free spread crowded with spicy Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese dishes. Fresh and natural ingredients pepper the menu, turning taste bud against taste bud in intense palatal debates between sea-centric plates such as the candied walnut shrimp or spicy soft-shell crab with serrano peppers ($15.95 each). Dishes, such as the basil eggplant chicken ($12.95), send sweet aromas drifting through the dining room, and the boneless smoked duck is prepared over burning tea green-tea leaves to absorb complex flavors and fortune-telling abilities ($16.95).
From Chick 'N Chow's tables, which flaunt the rosy crimson hue of a bowl of sweet-and-sour sauce, soups launch warm steam alongside kosher and vegetarian dishes. Entire rotisserie chickens emerge from trips to a fryer with a golden cloak and satisfying crunch, and the menu also cheers dieters with low-calorie steamed dishes topped with broccoli that spells out encouraging affirmations. Beneath a fan painted with a traditional landscape, diners gather to-go containers, and delivery drivers tote bags laden with lo mein and memos from telecommuting fortune cookies.
For nearly a quarter-century, the chefs at Golden China Restaurant have filled bellies with authentic Chinese food, including nine varieties of dim sum. The bite-size snacks vary from sticky rice in lotus leafs to sesame-rice dumplings to barbecue-pork buns. To complement the mini morsels, the lengthy menu includes Chinese food standards, such as orange chicken and kung-pao shrimp. Three gourmet dinners facilitate full-on feasting, each served with tea, cookies, appetizers, and entrees to share with another diner or friendly shadow person. The hearty meals pair with beer and wine, along with sweet treats, such as lychee nuts and coconut tarts.
