Looking for ways to save on OIL!!!
Hi, i have a summer/winter hookup oil burner with hot water baseboard heat. With oil prices going through the roof and almost as much as my mortgage payment for a fill up, i am looking for ways to save.
Is there any way i can use electric to heat some water to save? Or us LP gas, i do not have natural gas here. |

If Electric is cheaper than gas or oil, no reason not to switch over.

Use an electric water heater for all of your hot water needs summer and winter. Either convert, or have your boiler converted to a cold start boiler, or at least turn the low limit down to 100. Potential savings of 200 plus gallons of oil a year.

Looking for ways to save on OIL!!!
Well, you are probably going to have to spend some money to save any on a current oil burning heating plant. Is the unit at least efficient as it burns? Can you switch out the burn unit to something higher efficiency? Not sure where you are but LP gas is not exactly cheap these days either. Nothing wrong with the idea of having a switchable energy source though.
Is your thermostat for the system in the correct place or should you think about moving it? If your baseboard radiators are adjustable, have you "feathered" them system wide so you are not overheating rooms you do not use? Have you bled and flushed the hot water portion of your system so you are boiling just water and not accumulated mineral deposits and trapped air is not negatively effecting efficiency. Obviously the less work the unit has to do the better. Have you brought insulation up to what you can with your budget? Even simple things like outlet and switch insulator sheets on exterior walls can really help along with exterior door and window seals and working weatherstripping. Wall and attic insulation of course to as high r value as you can afford. Do you have storm windows? Even that window film stretched over the windows in winter helps as do some of the thermal window treatments. I have ordered some really nice fitted storms that fit inside that clients have liked. Especially those in old Victorians that used to risk life and limb 3-4 stories in the air. They can fit them in place each season in slippers and jammies if they want. And having them on the inside makes it possible to open a window now and then. Ceiling fans switched to move air the correct direction in winter (most people forget the direction needs to be switched with seasonal changes) can help rising warm air, that might otherwise escape, circulate back into the room. Of course ceiling fans can really help the AC in summer too. Dampers on any fireplaces closed whenever not in use? You would be surprised how much air is sucked up a chimney even when not in use. |

Looking for ways to save on OIL!!!Quote:
I can't speak for your area, but I contracted with the local propane supplier this year at $1.51/gallon of propane. I expect, if I filled today with heating oil, I'd be paying about $3.40 to 3.50 per gallon. There's a number of variable you need to look at to get an honest answer, like % efficiency of heating equipment, your own actual prices, time lapse for return on investment of new equipment, etc.... Also, as sdsester mentioned above, lowering you heating load by insulation, sealing up the house, etc.... is usually the best money spent..... |

What do you mean when you state " is my unit efficient when it burns"? I have a New Yorker , it states Doe heating cap. - 98k-122k It was in my house 13 yrs. ago when i bought it. I have 3 thermostats, and the 1 thermostat i always keep down to 60, cause we never go into that area of the house. Although our bedroom is in that zone we use a nice electric fireplace for 3-4 hrs. every night in the winter and electric blanket. Also, i have no idea what "feathered" means to my baseboard heaters?? I do have bleeders throughout the house on the baseboard heaters. Is flushing the hot line something i can do?? Are there much higher efficiency oil burning units i can buy? |

I re-installed my whole computer two days ago and after that I got a problem with cabal just freezing up when I try to open the cabal shop.
I have no idea what it was, so I tried re-installing cabal.
That did not work either, so I tried re-installing my whole computer (yes, again) and it still didn't help.
Now I'm looking for answers and I hope someone out there have some for me, because I really have no clue now :P

what would be the best heads
looking into new set of heads not sure what is best, i have a sbc 350 comp cams 280h cam package 280 advertised duration 480 lift long tube headers edelbrok rpm air gap man edelbrok 600 carb 390 posi rear right now i have the stock iron heads on there except added 194 valves. any suggestion on what heads would be best. looking to go with aluminum

forgot to add i have a 3000 stall
what would be the best heads
These Dart heads are a good deal for the price. Dart SHP Special High Performance Cylinder Heads 127122 - SummitRacing.com. Of course you will have to check out your engine to know which chamber volume to buy. Keep your C.R. at about 9.5:1 -10:1 and you won't have a problem.
thanks for the advice guys, next question is which cc chamber would be best? is it better to go with a smaller chamber or larger, and i want to go with aluminum heads for the weight reduction but what are the negitives to that?
was just looking at those heads u posted on here, they look great for the price and it says there assembled will those springs work with my 480 lift cam? and if i have 9.1 compression now what will it be with the new 64 cc chambers? thanks guys
Your cam closes the intake valve at 41 degrees ABDC @0.050" tappet lift. With 9.0:1 static compression ratio, the dynamic compression ratio is 7.66:1 and the motor is a pooch, compared to what it could be if you had matched up components. Do you really have any idea what the exact static compression ratio of the motor is?
no i do not, suggestions?
Hello guys,i think its totally depend upon your budget that how much is affordable for you..but my point of view 195cc head is the best for you and its affordable easily...are you use any head in the past or first time you are use??
Two great value/performance choices.
Brodix IK200 BRODIX Cylinder Heads Over 40 Years of Innovative Cylinder Head Technology Profiler 176 series "All American" 23° heads (195cc port) Pro-Filer Performance Products A lot of bang for the buck with either choice. These are both premimum choices in a as cast port. CNC and hand porting and custom chamber size options are available on both -call them. The performance/price valve of a complete ready to rock "out of the box" premium CNC ported bolt in head cannot be ignored AFR 195cc Eliminator Air Flow Research Last edited by F-BIRD'88; 01-23-2013 at 08:58 AM. |
first time going for new heads, last year i had the heads i have now (stock gm iron heads) redone and had 194 vavles put in. but i wanna switch to an aluminum head that will let it breath better and bigger valves. not to worried about price as long as its worth it in performance.
Stock 350 iron heads that you had 1.94 intakes put into, what is this? Unless the heads were off a heavy duty/industrial engine they came with 1.94 intakes. What is the head casting number? In selecting the chamber volume for new heads you need to understand the pistons you have. Most pistons have a circular dish, these are not very good for performance nor efficiency regardless of the head used. Other choices that can be there are D dish, flat top, or dome but these don't typically show up in OEM motors so unless this has had some custom bottom end work it's not likely to have these kinds of pistons. So far as pistons go in the 350 flat tops or D dishes work the best and are generally seen with a small chambered head say 58 to 64 ccs. Chambers are best when shaped and generally proportioned around the characteristics of the L31 Vortec. there are aftermarket large chamber heads that use much of the L31 technology but these are really for blower motors or big inch small blocks, not that they couldn't be used in a 350 with domed pistons. Another critical item is the thickness of the head gasket and the clearance distance between the piston crown to the block's deck. These two things control the squish/quench clearance where in combination you want to hit about .040 inch. With a small chambered aluminum head with an unmilled deck, where you can get into trouble is with a thick gasket often specified with an aluminum head, in tis case with a .025 inch deck clearance and a .053 gasket you can end up with a .078 clearance which greatly reduces the effecctivness of squish quench. So you've got to keep an eye on these dimensions and look out for a thin head gasket that is also compatible with the aluminum head. The issue here is that the aluminum head expands and contracts more than either the iron block or steel gasket, so it rubs on the gasket which wears grooves into the softer aluminum. The best and longest lived gasket needs to be made to accomodate this, multi-layerd steel, graphite faces, and composition build ups are used and have different thicknesses, a simple steel shim would become a problem in street or mixed street strip service with the aluminum and iron sandwich. You can get away with a steel sim in this type build up for race only where the heads are just considered an expense item to get into the winners circle, which means it works, but not forever. A zero decked block is probably easier to work from for the street ot street/strip as it allows a thicker mulitlayer or composition gasket to be used which is easier on the head's mounting face so the sealing and the head lasts a long time. As you can see there are a bunch of things to keep track of all the while realizing there's more than one way to skin this cat. Bogie |

David about the design:I love to paint for you Bobs, you always have so cool ideas!You can find all of Sergei Bobrovsky´s masks on my site. Sergei always has a lot of thinking behind every mask. That is just what I love to create, designs telling a story and with lots of details.In Sergei´s hometown in Russia, Novokuznetsk, they built the classic Russian super Tank T-34. Sergei wanted to pay tribute to the fantastic machine, that played a big role for Russia in the WW2. Such a unique and great idea.I myself am very interested in history, so it was a dream design for me to create. I did a lot of research, and put together a concept and Sergei gave me green light at once.It is a mix of details, landscape designs with the tanks and you also find the Russian fighter planes Polikarpov I-16 in the sky, and when you come closer you will see how the chin of the mask transforms into a close up of a real Tank with the sheet metal.The mask is so action packed of details that most of them cannot be seen in photo, and the closer you get the more you will discover, the design is packed of Easter eggs!Thank you for your interest.

Delaware Bass Fishing For Trophy Bass
The spring pond season is in full swing, with fishermen reporting plenty of action on crappie, bass, pickerel and bluegills throughout the state. Richard Fairweather weighed in a 1.29-pound citation crappie at Captain Bones Bait and Tackle. Shop owner Patty Foley also weighed several nice bass, including a 5.75-pounder from Garrisons Lake. Crappie topped the list for pond fishermen stopping at Shooter's Supply. Joshua Gentry landed a citation crappie with a FinS lure at Smalley Dam Pond. Anglers stopping at the shop also reported good crappie fishing at Canal Pond and Dragon Run. Jerry Taylor at Taylored Tackle recommended Records Pond, Hearns Pond, Horsey Pond and Chipmans Pond for crappie. George Pechin reported a big improvement in largemouth action, with fishermen stopping at Williamsville Country Store reporting good catch-and-release bass fishing at Haven Lake, Griffith Lake and Killens Pond.

I travel often overseas and needed strong, lightweight, hard sided, spinner luggage. Strong, because the carry on size is being thrown into overhead bins and dragged around over all sorts of surfaces, from airport terminals, to dirt roads, to cobblestones. Lightweight, because I am old, and not as strong as I used to be, and some countries have very low weight allowances for luggage. Hard sided to prevent easy pilfering by unscrupulous airport workers. Spinner wasn't a need, but when I saw others walking along the concourse pushing their spinner luggage with one figure I liked that, not having to pull my suitcase around behind me. This luggage, which I now have in three sizes, fills all of those requirements, and it's very roomy inside. The 24" easily holds two week's worth of clothes.The 21" easily holds one week's worth. I've taken it to India, China, Mexico, Russia, South America and all over Europe with no complaint, only praises. This is my favorite Overstock purchase to date. Can't recommend it enough. If you travel a lot, the 21" and 24" are the perfect sizes. The next size is pretty big, and won't be accepted on some trips, but is the perfect suitcase for a longer cruise. I have had the suitcases sent off the plane dented, but the dent popped right out, with no damage. I hope your experiences with this are as good as mine.
I was looking for a new luggage set for our European cruise and was looking for something durable that would last a long time since we travel a lot , as well as something that looked great. I spent countless hours online researching different styles and types of luggage and wanted something that was a good value. I must have read a million reviews on the products I researched and actually the reviews are what pushed me into making a decision. I was extremely suprised at how quickly I received the luggage from overstock and the luggage looked great. The only thing that was disappointing was the smell of the luggage when I took it out of the box. I unzipped it and let it air out for about a week before I began packing and it was fine. I was a bit concerned about the weight issue since I have had to pay extra at the airport many a times in the past for my luggage being overweight. This is no longer an issue with this luggage. If anything I was underweight! The true test was how durable it was going through the airlines. We flew to London and then on to Spain, then got on a cruise ship and then back . I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up the luggage from baggage claim with not even a scratch on it! Since the initial trip, we have used the luggage two more times with absolutely no issues, dents, marks or scratches. It's so easy to locate your luggage on the baggage claim carousel, as it's not your typical black luggage that everyone else has. Another feature that I love are the spinner wheels. I have never had any luggage with those and now I can't live without them! It makes it so much more convenmient and easier to manuever around. I gave this luggage 5 stars all the way around because I truly love it and am very happy with it. I am considering purchasing more to add to my collection for my family of 6.
NOT RECOMMENDED: Traveler's Choice Rome 24-inch 'Spinner' Hardside Upright. Very cheap materials and construction. The suitcase literally fell apart on the first trip. First the fabric "hinge" started coming loose and then the zipper just split. The suitcase was not overstuffed and had room to spare. This suitcase was purchased in August and not used until a business trip in October. So I missed the window to return. VERY DISAPPOINTED! From a huge OVERSTOCK.COM fan: Not Happy200 in Houston, TX
I purchased this piece of luggage as a smaller alternative to my extra-large Under Armour duffel bag and to avoid having to pay extra money at the airline ticket counter because my bag was too bag.. Lets just say I was Amazed with the luggage! It holds 4-5 days worth of clothes, and I always pack more than I need. It is super light, way lighter than a gallon of milk. It went through the airlines and held up like a champ! I love the fact that it has a large zippered pocket on the inside top and a smaller zippered pocket for toiletries. The only issue with this luggage is when I first took it out of the box, it had a strong odor, so I left it open and let it air out and it smells fine now. I always keep a dryer sheet in all my luggage to keep them smelling fresh. Oh, and the free shipping is totally worth it! I placed my order late Saturday night, and received it on Wednesday!
I love that it is so amazingly light; the weight of a packed suitcase is from my clothes, and is minimally from the suitcase itself. That saves my back and it saves money when weighing bags at the check-in counter at the airport. The wheels are very smooth and strong, which really helps!
Nice looking suit case. Light weight. Rolls nicely. Survived airport handlers.
i would NOT RECOMMEND THIS SUITE CASE TO ANYONE!!! ive used it once prior to the worse traveling experience iv just had!!! it survived my first trip last year than last week when i went away, while waiting for my luggage at baggage claim my suitcase shows up split into 2!!! the hinge broke off and the zipper just split!!! my luggage wasnt even full so there is not excuse for this.
I moved recently and was worried about transporting a 19 inch Christus Statue. When first delivered one hand was broken off and needed to be glued back on with some white glue. How to pack safely? Problem solved with this hardside suitcase and two very fluffy bedroom pillows. Put in one pillow - lay the statue on the pillow. close the inner liner over the statue. place the second pillow on top and close the suitcase. The suitcase was put in the back of the uhaul truck somewhere by my helpers. When unpacked a day later the Christus Statue came through the move in perfect condidtion! I am assuming this suitcase is also useful as luggage. I have yet to use this bag for a trip but feel I have already recieved my moneys worth after this one use:)
The suitcase has held up ok, the wheels do not roll smoothly. I own other spinners that cost less and perform better.
If you typically go on 5 day trips this is the perfect size suitcase! It's light weight and durable. I love the hard shell, and the dividers between the 2 sides. I was able to iron, carefully fold, pack and when we got to the hotel all I had to do is hang everything up. No re-ironing!!! Love it.

Lange RX 130 (2012)
Voted Best-Looking, the RX 130 also happens to ski well. It's different enough from its blue brother the TK (see Narrow) - the fit is very open through the lower boot and also at the top of the cuff - to accommodate those Flintstonian crushers who need a 130 flex and a tall stance. The little details are pleasing, too - new low-pro buckles, sick cam-buckle power strap, blue gripperized soles. Notes: Ultra Grip sole plates give an all-mountain flavor and hiking convenience to the monoinjected shape and power of RS line but in 100 mm last, Control Fit liner utilizes anatomically shaped interior padding and cutaway instep design over top of foot, Natural Stance combines lower ramp angle with more upright cuff angle for a relaxed and tall position, toe dam design is low profile and water tight.

Oehring next wrote an opera, Requiem, with David's voice in mind and in 1998 David gave the work its world premiere at the Opera Bastille in Paris. Requiem toured Europe and was recorded live in Germany for the Col Legno label. In the same year, David toured Holland in Oehring's Polaroids.

Equally at home in the modern recital repertoire, he has gained acclaim for programs of modern classics typically outside the standard countertenor repertory by composers such as Quilter, Brahms, Britten, and Hahn. Carter is a featured soloist on recordings of Bach's Magnificat in D, Mendelssohn's Magnificat, and Buxtehude's Membra Jesu Nostri, all of which will be released commercially in late 2008. ...

"... During the Early Music Days in Sopron (Hungary, 1990) I attended classes of baroque singing held by Guy de Mey. I became completely passionate in baroque music, but there was no opportunity in Moscow to study thoroughly baroque singing. As I could not continue my education in European institutes, specialized in early music, I tried to learn as much as possible by listening records of the famous baroque performers, by talking and collaborating with a very few number of Moscow baroque instrumentalists with European education (and with prof. Tatiana Zenaishvili particularly), and by my own intuition.
In March 2000 I studied the Telemann vocal style with prof. Barbara Schlick and prof. Hermann Max at the 3rd Telemann Academy (Magdeburg). In June 2001 I was an active participant of the vocal courses held at the Moscow Conservatoire by prof. Sabine Kaipainen.
Between 1991 and 1995 I was soloist of the early music ensemble "Pratum Musicum". Since then I collaborate with such musicians as Tatiana Zenaishvili (harpsichord, organ), Tatiana Andrianova (organ), Antonio Gramschi (recorders), Svetlana Sheveleva (recorders), Vadim Krasnov (lute), with the Chamber Orchestra of the Moscow State University. Recently two new early music ensembles were founded by me and my musical friends: "Opella Lauta" and "La Squadriglia".
My repertoire includes a range of late renaissance and baroque songs and cantatas, some of them performed for the first time in Russia: "Leçons de Ténèbres" by François Couperin, Alessandro Scarlatti's Stabat Mater, solo cantatas by Nicolas Bernier, sacred music of Johann Rosenmüller among them could be mentioned. Apart from early music I like very much to sing Mozart, Schubert, Rachmaninov, of late I sing also Russian romances from the manuscript of the 19th c. (1833) with Vladimir Markushevitch (Russian guitar). " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

Compagnie Bischoff is a vocal quintet that combines the most recent and the most ancient polyphonic music in its programmes: from Ars Nova to Adriaansz. Leaving specialisms behind, the ensemble aims at a musical dialogue within the rich vocal repertoire of seven centuries.
The Compagnie has found its own esthetics in the characteristics of the individual singers, and uses these in unexpected metamorphoses and combinations, ranging from solo and duet to quintet.

"La Trulla de Bozes was founded in 1998 by Carlos Sandúa to explore and perform the renaissance and early baroque Spanish polyphonic vocal repertoire.
After a first establishment period, in the year 2000 La Trulla de Bozes attracted the attention of the European environment specialized in early music when they obtained the first prize in the noted competition for ensembles of the XXXVII Festival Van Vlaanderen in Brugge. During the same year the group was named Revelation Ensemble after winning The International Young Artists Presentation/Early Music in Antwerp becoming the only Spanish group that have obtained these prizes.
The standard staff of the group is formed by five singers and one organist/harpsichordist. The group can increase the number of singers and instrumentalists according with the repertoire demands. All members of the ensemble are thoroughly familiarized with the performance practice of the early music, having worked individually with the finest groups specialised in this field, such as Les Arts Florissants (William Christie), La Capilla Reial de Catalunya (Jordi Savall), Ensemble Elyma, (Gabriel Garrido), Les musiciens du Louvre (Mark Minkovski), Al ayre español (Eduardo López-Banzo)… "

The group takes its name from the Duchy of Brabant, an area of the Low Countries that now forms part of the southern Netherlands and northern Belgium. Many of the greatest composers of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries emanated from Brabant and its neighbouring areas, controlled at that time by the Dukes of Burgundy; it is the music of such composers as Nicolas Gombert, Orlande de Lassus and Josquin Desprez that forms the core of the group's repertoire."

New images have leaked showing what may be code-name London, or the first of the next-generation BlackBerry 10 superphones expected to ship from RIM at the end of 2012 and... they look like Android phones that look like iPhones. Kevin Michaluk from CrackBerry.com pitches them a phone-sized PlayBooks but after being teased with the far more original looking, Porsche Design-style concepts we saw a few weeks back, I can't help but be a little disappointed.
Sure, Apple didn't invent the black slab form factor, but in an era that was then dominated by front-facing QWERTY devices, including the Treo, Windows Mobile Standard, Nokia communicators, and, yes, BlackBerrys, Apple inarguably popularized them. They popularized them to such an extent that Google smartly, swiftly switched gears from making Android BlackBerry-like to iPhone-inspired. RIM dabbled in that form factor as well, with the near disastrous Storm line, and now the expanded Torch line.
But to lead with it into the new generation of BlackBerrys, and now, some 5 years later? (And yes, once again, I informed you thusly.)
A big part of me hopes not. I'm tired of iPhone clones. Sure, Samsung has proven that the closer you are to copying Apple without being Apple, the more money you make in the not-Apple market (just look at Motorola and HTC profits by way of comparison), but Apple didn't get to where they are -- sitting on one of the largest bankrolls in history -- by copying the BlackBerry or Treo back in 2007.
They looked at the market. They saw a problem with existing offerings. They tried to solve it with something new. RIM has had 5 years since then -- 5 years to study Apple, look for the iPhone's weaknesses, and figure out how to take then next great leap forward. To figure out how to do to Apple what Apple did to Palm and RIM.
They wasted a lot of that on the Storm and Torch and PlayBook. Hopefully they're not wasting one precious moment of it now.
I want BlackBerry back. I want them putting pressure on Google and Apple. I want more great phones to choose from. I don't want Jonathan Ive to be the lead designer-by-proxy of yet another me-too phone line.
Delight me RIM. Surprise me. You've got a new CEO. He has great contacts. I'm holding out hope for you.
Source: CrackBerry.com
It looks alright I guess, though I have to say there isn't really much that could lure me back to BlackBerry at this point.
Just like BBM has kept people on BlackBerries, iMessage is starting to have the same effect on me with the iPhone. I live my iPhone anyway, but literally about 75% of my cell phone contacts have iOS 5 iPhones with iMessage. I just looked at my texting history for the last month, and I had 14 texts. Incoming and outgoing combined! With iMessage thrown it, it would have been well over 1000. I've dropped my unlimited texting and have saved a lot of money already simply because of iMessage.
actually it looks like a droid x which looks nothing like an iphone, or then again you probably think that every square phone is a copy off the iphone. You fail to mention the iphone wasn't the first all touch screen square phone..
The iPhone pays homage to the LG Prada, truly the first phone of its kind. Anyway, the G1 looked nothing like an iPhone, so stop saying Android copied Apple's iPhone, especially since Apple is now only implementing a native digital voice assistant and a drop down notification center - a blantant copy of Android. They need to revamp iOS because that static grid of icons looks stale compared to Android 4.0 and Windows Phone 7.5.
AMEN, Sister! Sooo tired of the any touch screen phone is a copy of iPhone mantra I hear everywhere these days.
You've got a point. Before the iPhone, how many smart phones had keyboards. Now, how many smartphones have keyboards? I can only think of Motorola as the one making them. HTC had a couple. That was it and HTC is scaling back their product portfolio. No, Apple didn't create the touch screen or the slab, but after the iPhone, seems that every manufacturer makes them now, Just as Apple produced the Macbook Air and now Intel is touting the Ultrabook. Fact is, Apple leads and everyone else follows. There's far too much evidence of this in the market place to prove it.
This article comes off as rather self righteous. Despite you mentioning and acknowledging that the iPhone isn't the first black slab phone, you turn a 180 and imply that it might as well should have been. I own an iPhone, sure. But I don't go making off-handed comments on others who prefer something different. Your last two paragraphs "cheering" for RIM hardly hide the horrible undertones of arrogance that this post carries.
Like Ferigno said above, at least "wait until you play with it and hold it in your hands before you judge..."
Well unless RIM can get the OS working right, this thing is just vaporware.
Droid X was the first thing that popped into my head. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it has a few little touches that look Motorola-ish.
If this phone came out today, it'd be a huge deal for Blackberry. It would potentially be a big deal. Instead, it's not due for a few months. This will turn into another Palm-type situation where they announce a phone that could be competitive, but hold off on a release until it's behind the curve (no pun intended) and irrelevant.
Is this a joke? Stick a fork in RIM already. Even if the hardware was decent they've got nothing to put on it that people want to use.
It doesn't matter what it looks like... what really matters is what the foaming at the mouth patent attorneys think it looks like. I don't know about any of you but I just can't wait for another exciting round of wheel of litigation.
"It doesn't matter what it looks like… what really matters is what the foaming at the mouth patent attorneys think it looks like. I don't know about any of you but I just can't wait for another exciting round of wheel of litigation."
Except that won't happen here. Unlike Sammy, RIM has a boatload of patents. Just like Apple didn't go after Palm/HP they won't go after RIM. Apple may be aggressive, they aren't that stupid.
Rene good article, but I do have one question. What do u think that the next big phone will have? The one that changes the form factor from what we see from most phones on the market today.
A black slab is a black slab, there is only so much (or little)that can be done to/with it. Period.
The real deal will be what the new OS is like, what features will it have that set it apart of other devices that are already on the market. It will all come down to the operating system and software.
I agree. People put too much emphasis on the hardware. It's the software, apps and cloud services tying everything together that make the hardware sing. RIM still has a chance to pull this off. This year will be the last chance they have with everyone else firing on all cylinders now.
One of our IT guys aharopcped me yesterday to tell me that's what we get for using Crapple computers. Another nerd requirement is that 20 year old jokes are as funny now as they were then. Anyway, as much as I love my MacBook Pro, and as much as your MacBook is a nice machine, I can't stand Apple stores. It's like they took every half-assed moron with an iPod, wrapped them in some khakis, and shoved them into one huge vortex of self-absorbed condescension. If I need to buy any Apple gear, I'll stick with the web site. At least whoever puts the stuff in the boxes in Singapore doesn't give you a dirty look when you pull out a non-iPhone.
Another me-too black slab? This is the best they can do? RIM lost me as a customer in 2010 and won't ever be getting me back. Android lost me as a customer in 2011. I have an iPhone 4S. Anything that is another me too slab won't even spark a yawn out of me unless someone figures out a way to make it slimmer than the iPhone and have a side sliding keyboard. That's what it will take to even get my interest, otherwise anything that even remotely looks like a ME-TOO slab won't get my interest.
I hope they promote it with those cartoon superheroes. Almost as much as I want Ballmer to remain CEO at Microsoft.
I just left (finally!) webOS for the new iPhone and I am hoping somebody pushes Apple to create a UI as good as webOS. The iPhone's static "grid of icons" (as mentioned above) and the old school home button desperately need an update!
If you watch the RIM Playbook demos using the new Playbook 2.0 OS, you'll have a very good idea of the next Blackberry 10 OS will be like. From what I've seen it's the closest thing to a webOS UI I've seen so far. It looks nice actually. I just hope the performance, and fit and finish are there when it's released.
I switched to iPhone from BB 18 months ago and yes, I have looked backed. I may be the few, but I miss my BB Storm 2 and BB in general. I really hate how people put themselves on a pedestal because they own an iPhone or an Android device. I feel like like I'm a snob just because I have an iPhone. In reality, iPhone is not all that and a bag of chips. Thing I miss the most about BB is autocorrect. iOS is crap when it comes to autocorrect. BB's approach is waaaaaaaay better. Please stop with the iPhone snobbery that has been going on lately.
Yea, RIM should be more original and make a phone in the shape of a triangle. Then again, that iPhone bezel you all know and love was jacked from the Bold 9000 so it's probably fair that RIM can make a phone in the shape of a phone.
I don't own a Blackberry, iPhone, Android etc. just an old old Nokia £5 handset.
Blackberry is thriving in the UK, especially in Enterprise. The iPhone is ubiquitous. I like this design, I would definitely think about Blackberry. Makes a change from all the Android, iPhone, Windows, rubbish I keep reading.
The iPhone may be ubiquitous, but not everyone has ios5 or iMessage.
funny. my first thought was it looks like most android phones too. That's not a bad thing but it also doesn't wow me. But then again most companies that try to wow me with their phone end up making something they think is cool and i think is styleless and tacky and i'd never carry. Like a white and black veer.
@Rene I fail to see a few of your points, but I do understand a few of them also.
Yes, Apple "popularized" the slab form factor. But honestly...why does that matter? That means nothing in the way of this article. You can't say someone is paying homage to Apple when they, themselves, are paying homage. Let the title reflect that correctly. Is it LG's fault that the Prada didn't have the type of clout that Apple and their "i" line had? No. But that doesn't take away from the fact that LG stepped out their and did it first "without" copying Apple. That's the main thing to take from that.
Now the next thing...what can be improved with this form factor? Hardware wise, we've kinda hit the ceiling. All you can do is improve the material and the underlying tech. The design is always going to be a rectangular slab with minimal design differences (button layout/no buttons, camera position, sensor position, etc). The only improvements that can be made now are on the software side. That is what will decide the battles from now on.
I love my Apple devices, but you don't have to be 'completely' biased just because this is an Apple site.
If you admit that the iPhone was not the first black slab phone, Apple just made it popular, then your assertion that the BlackBerry 10 is a "homage to Android's homage of iPhone" should end with "iPhone's homage of the LG Prada". You don't have to be popular to be paid homage, you just have to be first.
Moreover, nothing is inarguable. The Prada was the beginning of a trend that began with the cheap availability of the capacitive screen, so we can easily argue that black slab phones were coming, Apple or not. The first iPhone wasn't even that popular, and by the time it really became popular other companies like Nokia and Samsung were already experimenting with the black slab format.
I actually like it. It's an understated design, no crap around it. Very simple. It's solid hardware. Hopefully no carrier branding just the BB logo. If it is as thin as it looks it'll be great hardware. Now just hope the software is good ... And that it actually launches haha.
it's more of a first to publish branding than it is claiming it's theirs.. I'm sure blackberry "leaked" it to Kevin by "accident"..
don't forget they just announced hiring a new cmo for marketing and now they have new images leak for the next bb10 smartphone..
So the "best" thing that RIM can come up a year from now is something that looks like Droid X, from 2-3 years ago? Applause please...
That's because these are obviously fake. Why would you classify these as real if RIM didn't make any public announcement of said devices yet?
This wibeste online can be a stroll-by way of for the entire data you wanted about this and didn?t know who to ask. Glimpse right here, and also you?ll positively uncover it.
I'll right away clutch your rss feed as I can't in finding your e-mail subscription link or e-newsletter service. Do you have any? Kindly permit me recognize so that I may just subscribe. Thanks.
I do not like iMaxi-Pads or you f-king iSheeps. But for you to judge a phone that's just a concept, just shows how stupid all of you are (no wonder you all have iMaxi-pads). All 4.5 generations of iMaxi-pads looks the same way (first gen was more of a rounded back, then on the 4.5 gen it's flat but it looks the same) at lease RIM give us options to choose from. BlackBerry has apps for the working men and women (no foolish of how not to be GAY, are you f-king serious, no wonder you have 500,000 apps of pure foolishness) When BB10 is launched your maxi-pad will only be good for collecting women's waste.
I HATE you f-_king iMaxi-pad users you are all a bunch of A$$'$

What Is BioLogos?
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
"So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book." Today BioLogos premieres the first in a new series of introductory videos.
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.
Collins poses, as the central question of his book: "In this modern era of cosmology, evolution, and the human genome, is there still the possibility of a richly satisfying harmony between the scientific and spiritual worldviews?"
"Evangelicals really needed an organization that would stand up and say, in a nutshell, I'm an evangelical, and I accept evolution," he said.
A video greeting from BioLogos President Deborah Haarsma
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
It is precisely the recognition of the qualities of elegance, economy and naturalness which solves the problem of the under-determination of theory by experiment, so often pressed by philosophers of science, who sometimes speak of the process of discovery as if it were a dull routine of fitting curves to data points.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
These commercials were produced by Ryan Pettey of Satellite Pictures and feature BioLogos Senior Scholar Jeff Schloss, philosopher Alister McGrath, and theologian NT Wright. They're a great introduction to our work here at BioLogos.

In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!

Greg Kellum |
04/03/09wired magazineI was in Wired magazine last week: http://www.wired.com/gadgets/mods/multimedia/2009/03/gallery_instruments?slide=22&slideView=3 10/01/08see you in the half light IIThings seem to be moving forward with the music I'm working on at the moment. http://www.gregkellum.com/media/see_you_in_the_halflight_p1-2.mp3 I had been trying to figure out how to create a low bass drone a bit like the one in NIN's "Something I Can Never Have". I was playing with some samples of rubbed glass and found that you get something really nice if you passed them through a waveshaper and then a low pass filter... I was also experimenting with different ways to manipulate bell samples and what's worked so far for this piece has been using the spectral delay from RTCmix, the GrainStream effect from Hipno, and morphing bells together with the babbling of overlaid voices... 08/22/08i'll see you in the half light...I've been working lately on a piece about a girl who I had recurring dreams about. The dreams went on for quite a while, and sometimes, they were blissful and at othertimes upsetting. I've been trying to capture all of the different moods of these dreams in one piece, and at the moment I'm working on a part that's supposed to sound reverential. Here's a piece of it: http://www.gregkellum.com/media/half_light_v4_bit.mp3 There was a passage in Rilke's Elegies where he writes something along the lines of "beauty is a terror which we can still sustain because it disdains to destroy us." I've been trying to capture the mood of terror inspiring beauty in this piece. I've been concentrating on the memory of the feeling of my heart when it's beating violently in my chest and finding the music which flows naturally from this state. But it's been difficult to conjure up this feeling and the corresponding music, and everything I've done so far hasn't sounded particularly like these vague musical thoughts which come and go... 08/01/07loopingI've been experimenting with different looping algorithms for use with sinusoidal modeling synthesis. Typically, when one develops this kind of a synthesizer, one has separate sound files for the attack portion and the steady state portion of a sound, and the file for the steady state portion, i.e. the part that will be looped, is played very carefully so that it has a constant amplitude, pitch, brightness, and so on, because this makes the loop seamless. I had been hoping to get around the constraint that the sound material had to be carefully performed by analyzing the sound file and automatically identifying good loop points. So, I compared all the frames in a test sound file with the earth mover's algorithm, and I chose those frames with the smallest earth movers distance as loop points. I honestly must say though that I'm a bit disappointed with the results, because the loop points are still audible. Here's a sample: 07/30/07recordingsSo, I made a recording of a sound file that was generated by my synthesizer, and I uploaded it to: http://www.gregkellum.com/temp/ebowsynth_20070730.mp3 It doesn't sound so great at the moment. I still have a lot of work to do... I tried connecting the synthesizer this weekend to a pitch tracker. It worked but it stuttered like crazy... Somehow, I'm going to have to find a way to cut the CPU usage in half... |
