Signal is consistently poor. Hard to make or place calls. Very unreliable out this way.Was this review helpful to you?
ATT&T coverage is terrible to non-existent. It's often impossible to make a usable phone connection. I'm have to switch carriers.Was this review helpful to you?
The Sprint coverage maps for my area all say best all green, the actual is yes spotty voice coverage, spotty 3g and not 4 g even though the maps say best or great coverage. So this means Sprint is legally running a scam on all of us. All Sprint users complain but stays becuase the others Verizon and AT&T or most expensive. Sprint users are cheap or trapped in a contract. Yes me too cheap. So when Sprint raises prices on worst coverage we get stuck cuz Verizon and AT&T will raise prices as they have the undoubtedly best coverage everywhere. I know I used to use ATT and Verizon when my employers paid for my phones. Now that I pay for the phone I went with the cheapest solution. Oh well Sprint sucks everyone knows it and they are allowed to lie about the covererge. I suggest you pay more for better coverage at Verizon and ATT! Or get cheap monthly rates with worst covergage with Sprint. Theres is a reason why Sprint is cheap, poorly run company, poor services, low prices... .Was this review helpful to you?
Originally service was 4 bars. Over the past few months the service has steadily declined. Now virtually no service. Voice 0-1 Bar. Data None. Calls dropped every three minutes. Not sure how you sell cell phone service when there is no service. Phone not the problem. Two phones, same issue, take the phones to Santa Cruz all bars, 4G service. Sprint in San Jose is dead. Stay away. Sprint needs to come out and tell people what's going on.Was this review helpful to you?
Cellular One
What good is unlimited internet access if Verizon doesn't support the deivice or the service. One would think that when I went to the default Search Home Page that the message that I could change my preferances at the MS Bing Home Page wouldnt display either! But NO there it is. Displaying perfectly. Yet totally useless.Was this review helpful to you?
Sprint Virgin Mobil. Dropped calls and or no service with missed calls. Since Nov 2013. Boiler plate response from VM.Was this review helpful to you?
Good voice quality, decent data, but there are times when data really sucks, especially in downtown SF. I would give them a good rating but they are too expensive, thinking about switching to T-Mobile.Was this review helpful to you?
3 bars at most only 3G all over California especially South Bay.Was this review helpful to you?
The last couple of months, my phone has been having intermittent problems with coverage. Anywhere from 0-1 bars several times thru the day all over San Jose. I can't get reception at work 95119 and my home is even worse. I will have to switch. I have been a long time Sprint customer but I think they are having major problems. Everytime I call they say the towers are good and suggested I take my phone in. The phone is good, the towers suck! Waste of MONEY!Was this review helpful to you?
Usually one bar or even EDGE coverage! All of my neighbors with AT&T have the same problem. Call straight to voicemail half the time. Then AT&T makes you pay $200 for a Microcell to be able to get phone calls in your own home (in San Jose, 10th largest city in the US and the capital of Silicon Valley). My daughter has the same problem in her apartment (a block away from eBay headquarters). ATT claimed there's no issue in her area, so won't believe her. ATT is the worst (the entire company, not just for wireless... I speak from experience for business and residential phone service, internet, u-verse).Was this review helpful to you?

My phone is new. Shows nothing when I dial. Have tried various nearby locations. Could be the phone? GreatCall is a no-contract company like Tracfone, using the Verizon system. Added to above review.Was this review helpful to you?

Poll: Are you OK with bombing civilians?
Some people think that bombing and other types of attacks intentionally aimed at civilians are sometimes justified while others think that this kind of violence is never justified. Do you personally feel that such attacks are often justified, sometimes justified, rarely justified, or never justified?
In December of last year, a sample of Americans was asked this question in a poll by the Program on International Public Attitudes, and their responses were:
- often- 5%
- sometimes- 19%
- rarely- 27%
- never- 46%
- The remainder said "don't know" or refused to respond.
Recently, a survey by the Pew Research Center (pdf) asked Muslim Americans:
Some people think that suicide bombing and other forms of violence against civilian targets are justified in order to defend Islam from its enemies. Other people believe that, no matter what the reason, this kind of violence is never justified. Do you personally feel that this kind of violence is often justified to defend Islam, sometimes justified, rarely justified, or never justified?
The responses were:
- often or sometimes- 8% (15% for those ages 18-29)
- rarely- 5% (11% for those ages 18-29)
- never- 78% (69% for those ages 18-29)
- The remainder said "don't know."
Any statistician will tell you that you have to be cautious in comparing the results of two separate polls, but at the very least, the results above show that when it comes to intentionally attacking civilians, Muslim Americans don't support it any more than Americans at large do.
In my blog post yesterday, I said it was "unsettling" that "one in four young U.S. Muslims surveyed agreed that suicide bombing of civilians was at times acceptable." Well, now I also find it unsettling that 51 percent of my fellow Americans think it's acceptable to intentionally attack civilians. It's not too surprising, however. Many Americans think that dropping nuclear bombs on Japanese civilians during World War II was acceptable, so it makes sense that a sizable fraction think—at least on certain occasions—that bombing civilians is justifiable. Troubling indeed.

A paediatric surgeon, Dr. Sebastian Ekenze, has called for early detection of intersex disorders in children, saying that such will save the patients from stigma at a later stage in life.
Dr. Ekenze gave this advice on Wednesday, while reacting to the mob attack on a man who was discovered to be possessing female-size breasts last month in Sapele, Delta State.
Ekenze is a consultant paediatric surgeon, with the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu.
He also disclosed to The PUNCH that the UNTH has managed 39 children with intersex in the last 10 years.
The paediatric consultant outlined the major challenge in managing the disorder to include "delay in presentation, lack of diagnostic facilities, and inappropriate gender at presentation."
He hinted that although the disorder could be easily managed when detected early enough, it could pose more psychological challenge to the patient and the parents if not handled early.
Ekenze described intersex disorder as "a condition in which the reproductive structures do not fit the typical male or female."
According to him, "the anomaly has a worldwide occurrence and affects about 1 in 4500 children."
He said, "Though most of the cases are evident at birth, some affected persons may be discovered at puberty or during investigation for infertility, and less commonly some cases may live and die with the disorder without anyone ever knowing."
The consultant disclosed that these abnormalities occur "if there was defect in the sex chromosome, or there was abnormal development of the testes or ovaries, or there was abnormal production of the sex-related hormones, or there was failure of the body to respond normally to the sex-related hormones."
He said, "The exact cause of these abnormalities is unknown. However, some of the cases are familiar, and some follow diseases in the mother, or drugs used by the mother during pregnancy."
Ekenze classified the disorder to include "female intersex, male intersex, and true intersex," noting further that "a person might be born appearing to be female on the outside, but having mostly male-typical anatomy on the inside.
He said, "Or a person may be born with genitals that seem to be in-between the usual male and female types. For example, a girl may be born with a noticeably large clitoris, or lacking a vaginal opening, or a boy may be born with a notably small penis, or with a scrotum that is divided so that it has formed more like labia."
On the way forward, he said the child or person with suspected intersex would require thorough assessment by a team of medical and surgical specialists.
Ekenze stressed that the evaluation would be aimed at determining the accurate nature of the chromosomal sex, the internal sex organs, and the external genitalia, adding that based on this, proper gender is assigned to the child.
"The evaluation involves thorough physical examination, chromosomal studies, blood tests, scans, and when these are inconclusive, operation may be carried out to determine the actual nature of the internal sex organs. While waiting for the results, it is advisable to give the child a unisex name," he said.
He also called for parents' education during antenatal visits and public enlightenment to identify early features of the disease, plus the need and benefits of early treatment, education and re-education of primary and secondary care physicians and healthcare workers on early diagnosis.
He said that there was need for early referral for this disorder and other anomalies through regular workshop and outreach programmes.
He added that government may be compelled to increase healthcare funding and improve facilities.

|United States Marine Corps Celebrates 237th Birthday
|News Releases - Military & Veterans News
|Written by Move America Forward
|Monday, 12 November 2012 14:23
Today the 237th birthday of the USMC
The US Marine Corps has been an instrumental part of protecting the safety of American families, our Constitution, and the freedoms we enjoy as citizens of this great nation. From the Revolutionary War, to the wars we are still fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, Marines are there, fighting in the front lines, willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, in defense of their homeland.
Approximately 20,000 Marines are part of the multinational coalition of over 98,000 troops in Afghanistan. In Iraq, hundreds of Marines remain as part of the 50,000 strong security and advisory force. Today is their birthday too, and they will not be able to celebrate with their fellow Marines at USMC celebrations and balls held around the country. Let's send them some care packages to show our support, and wish them a happy birthday!
While some Marines can celebrate this birthday, others must continue the fight! Show them your support!
"On November 10, 1775, a Corps of Marines was created by a resolution of Continental Congress. Since that date many thousand men have borne the name "Marine". In memory of them it is fitting that we who are Marines should commemorate the birthday of our corps by calling to mind the glories of its long and illustrious history."
This is how Marine Corps Birthday Message order No. 47 begins.
During 179 of the 235 years of its existence the Marine Corps has been in action against the nation's enemies. Millions of hours of sacrifice have been dedicated to our freedom and our peace. You may have the honor of personally knowing one of these brave men or women who have answered the call of duty. More than likely though, your liberties are being protected by an anonymous donor, a Marine.
Faceless and nameless that Marine's sole focus is for you and your children. Today is the Marine Corps' birthday. Today you can put a name and face to that selfless sacrifice. The name is Marine.
Help us honor our Marines and Armed Forces by celebrating this important date. You may not see their faces and you may not know their names, but you can let them know you're thinking about them by sending a care package full of thanks and treats to remind them that we stand behind our troops.
The most important day of the year for the millions of Americans who have served their country proudly over the years is almost upon us. Sunday, November 11th is the day we recognize our military veterans, who have fought and sacrificed to oppose our enemies and keep our nation free.
While thousands of troops will be coming home by the end of the year, we still have a responsibility to support them as they wrap up their mission in Iraq. But there are even more thousands still serving in Afghanistan and they'll continue to fill an important role into 2014 and beyond.

Maybe your oven is broken or your family is stuck in Buffalo. Maybe you need a break from drunken uncles fighting over the wishbone. How about Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings prepared just for you, served fireside while snow falls, piling up on your favorite run? Sound good? Here are a few of this year's options for turkey day dining, mountain style. Feast and give thanks for your blessings…especially snow days, of course.

Books at Sensei's Library
- His web site (in Korean) is http://www.chohunhyun.com.
- Hankuk Kiwon player profile: http://www.baduk.or.kr/info/player_view.asp?gno=1002
YY?: Cho's style has been known as "soft wind (breeze) and quick spear," poetically crafted by a Korean Go critic Park ChiMoon, while he once was affectionately nick-named as a "swallow" by his fellow players. The descriptions emphasize his graceful, light footed tendency that delivers a quick and often fatal thrust like a spear when attacking. It is somewhat comparable to Muhammad Ali's self-description of "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
He is also known for his ability to "shake." As he detects inferior positions of his own, he tries to "shake" the outcome by engaging in ultra-aggressive, complicated moves, and he tries to psychologically "shake" the opponent. In this sense, "shaking" means an attempt or an ability to wage fierce, unpredictable, often very complicated, all out battles toward the end of a game.
In the era of Yi ChangHo, his style has changed to accentuate battles and tough in-fighting. Perhaps it was necessary to cope with Yi ChangHo's superior calculation and deep reading which are overbearing in usual positional exchanges and then the endgame.
As he was hopelessly outgunned by Yi by the mid 90's, the change in his style took place. His relative strength to Yi lies in his intuition and therefore quick reading for which he has been often called "the most talented player" by many Korean and Japanese players. The attempt to maximize his relative strength led him to creating fog of war situations wherein intution and quick reading often are more useful than calculation ability and deep reading. Then Cho can knock out Yi without having to go through the positional struggles and the much dreaded endgame of Yi's. In so doing, he has earned another nickname, "God of War", reflecting the change in style.
Cho HunHyun is notorious for "soliloquies" during the match. It is more or less murmuring to himself while reading, calculating, and contemplating a next move. The substance of his murmuring often is his own self-critique and the assessment or bantering regarding the trouble he is digging himself into. In a final match of a World Go competition, Yoda Norimoto even wore earplugs or earcovers while playing Cho -- Cho won the title over Yoda Norimoto.
choreck: I have been watching Cho Hunhyun's recent games and seen that he lost quite a large percentage of games. Something wrong with his play or this is a result of something else?
YY?: His age is generally thought to be the culprit of the recent decline. That is, he does not seem to be able to sustain the high level of concentration over the entire course of game. He often makes simple mistakes. He shows the lapse of judgment and calculation, as well.
His game is very delicate and even precarious in use of speed. Speed can kill yet may backfire if not played with great care as speed necessarily mean rather thin deployment. He simply cannot afford to make such mistakes in order to win consistently playing his style.
In my opinion, he needs to modify his style and approach a little to accommodate aging and its effects. His game is highly entertaining and awe inspiring, yet it is only effective when he can sustain very high level genius and perfectionism. And, his age does not allow him to be so perfect any longer.
He needs to learn to play thicker (and necessarily slower in pace which I strongly doubt he likes at all) so that he can absorb mistakes and rebound back.
John F.: Thanks, YY. Cho's now dropped out of the top 20 in Korea, which is pretty sensational. Age must be a factor (I speak from experience!) but could I ask for your view on whether his extra-curricular activities (Tygem, etc) are not also a factor. He seems to be involved in quite a few arguments which must sap his energy.
Also, the reference to "soliloquies" and murmuring. According to Japanese sources these are actually Japanese folk songs - any view on that?
valerio: I made a basis for a new page (you can correct or delete the page). The List of Cho Hunhyun titles is incomplete and some names are wrong.

Fortune 500 series: How OfficeMax uses social media

OfficeMax is facing similar economic woes that other big businesses face, however the company is still focused on continuing the social programs it started testing out in 2006
This post is a warning for folks that they need to end their debating before they are fired, or as we like to call it during these times "downsized."
In the case of Motrin, what the mommybloggers have done is taken the powerful army of business consultants it had finally branded itself as, and turned itself into a targeted fear monger.
Just under two weeks ago Zappos.com, the online shoe retailer, very publicly laid off nearly 8 percent of its workforce.
The way I see it, social media isn't putting PR in jeopardy, but it has exposed a weakness in PR that was always there -- too much focus on dialing for dollars and not enough focus on making PR stretch to support real business initiatives.
Other companies, especially Web 2.0 and social networking companies, can learn a valuable lesson from Spoke's antics.
Guest editorial by Susan EtlingerBack in the seventeenth century, soldiers would spend the cold winter months in towns and garrisons until the weather cleared enough for them to venture back into the field (in Italian, nella campagna) to resume fighting. And that's the origin of the modern word campaign, a term much beloved by marketing and sales people to signify an organized series of events designed to sell products and services.
While the election has taken up most of the ink and Web space over the last couple of weeks, there's still been some steady movement in Social Business. Before I jump into this week's sampler I want to note two important changes -- this will now be a bi-weekly update and it will also now be known as Social Business versus Digital Web Business.
While I still maintain that "Obama won the election - not social media," Facebook has just reported in some its usage statistics for leading up to and through election day. According to Facebook:Preliminary data shows an increase of more than 20 percent in activity on the site on election day vs.
The big snake oil spotlight shines down upon us brightly -- and justifiably -- whenever we try to credit social media with a success that isn't really a rightful success for it to claim

AP poll: Indiana, Duke 1-2 on top of same Top 25
Indiana's Jordan Hulls, left, goes to the basket against Central Connecticut State's Kyle ...
By The Associated Press, AP
Mon Dec 10, 5:17 PM UTC
Indiana is No. 1 for a sixth straight week in The Associated Press college basketball poll.
The Hoosiers are again followed in the Top 25 by Duke, Michigan and Syracuse. The only changes in Monday's poll is the order, not who's ranked.
The Hoosiers (9-0) received 44 first-place votes from the 64-member national media panel. Duke (9-0) again drew the other No. 1 votes.
Florida and Louisville switched places at fifth and sixth. They were followed by Ohio State, Arizona, Kansas and Illinois. The Illini (10-0) beat fellow unbeaten Gonzaga on Saturday, moving into the top 10 for the first time since the next-to-last poll of 2005-06. Gonzaga dropped to 14th.
The Big Ten has the most ranked teams with six. The Big East has five and the Atlantic Coast Conference and Mountain West three each.

Braun out with intercostal strain
Milwaukee outfielder Ryan Braun was held out of the Brewers' starting lineup in St. Louis for a second straight game Monday with a strained intercostal muscle.
Braun, injured Saturday in a 5-3 win over the Chicago Cubs, is still considered day-to-day.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke indicated Braun will not go on the disabled list, but he could miss at least two, and maybe three, more games.
Braun is hitting .318 with six homers and 18 RBI in 22 games.

Wrestling legend Ultimate Warrior dies
Published On: Apr 08 2014 10:49:37 PM MDT
Updated On: Apr 09 2014 12:49:41 AM MDT
Updated On: Apr 09 2014 12:49:41 AM MDT
The Ultimate Warrior, one of professional wrestling's biggest superstars, has died at 54, WWE officials confirmed in a statement.
Warrior, who was born James Brian Hellwig, was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame just days ago.
"WWE is shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of the most iconic WWE Superstars ever, The Ultimate Warrior," a statement reads.
Hellwig began his career as the Warrior in 1987. He defeated Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI to become WWE Champion in 1990.
Hellwig legally changed his name to Warrior in 1993
The wrestler is survived by his wife Dana and two daughters.

The Peer Enabled Restructured Classroom (PERC) is a powerful innovation in mathematics and science instruction that supports teachers, improves student performance, creates young leaders, and engages students deeply in learning.
PERC harnesses the proven success of collaborative learning strategies, making them the foundation of the classroom, rather than just a part-time approach. The result is a dynamic, student-centered environment in which…
Ninth Graders enrolled inmath (Integrated Algebra) and science (Living Environment) work together daily in small groups (four to five students)-solving problems, completing assignments and mastering required curriculum with the guidance of trained peer leaders. The students become comfortable with group work and peer instruction, and thrive under its benefits: Students in PERC classrooms find their questions answered more quickly, spend more time on task, and make more rapid progress through the curriculum. The group work is engaging, and many of the frustrations of a traditional classroom fall away. Students are successful; success breeds more interest and resilience in math and science.
"Thanks for all the work you helped me with, helping me understand things more clearly. Thanks for everything you did to help me become a better student, a better test taker, and also thank you for helping me become a better person. Hopefully I will see you next year when I become a Teaching Assistant Scholar!" - letter from student to their TA Scholar
Tell me more about the 9th graders success
Teaching Assistant Scholars act as peer leaders to facilitate learning in the classroom. A typical class will have several TA Scholars, each leading a group of four or five ninth graders in activities designed by the PERC teacher. TA Scholars are able to keep students engaged, provide immediate help, and guide the collaborative learning process. TA Scholars are usually tenth graders who finished Integrated Algebra or Living Environment the year before and passed the associated Regents exam with an average score. They receive specific, ongoing instruction in content and teaching methods from the PERC teacher, who also supervises their classroom work. In turn, they provide the teacher feedback on lessons and individual student progress. TA Scholars serve as role models for the students in class and in the school, gain satisfaction from helping others, and mature into student academic leaders bound for four-year college.
"It has been great experience being not just a teacher but also a co-learner of all the stuff that we were supposed to teach the students. It was huge experience as I learned about what it is like to be a teacher and how much immeasurable responsibility comes on your shoulder as soon as you step inside the classroom."- Teaching Assistant Scholar
Tell me more about the TA Scholar program
Tell me more about how the TA Scholars benefit from PERC
The PERC Teacher oversees a classroom where most of the instruction is facilitated by TA Scholars working with small groups of students. PERC teachers have become experts in peer-led collaborative instruction. They empower their classrooms by creating effective group activities, and preparing the TA Scholars to lead their groups. A typical class will begin with ten minutes of whole-class instruction before group work begins on the day's assignment. The teacher is then free to move through the class, listen to group discussions, observe the work of the TA Scholars, speak directly with individual students, and provide assistance if it is needed. In this manner, the teacher can assesses the class and individual progress, and design the best strategies going forward. The teacher also receives feedback in the daily TA Scholar class, where participants share problems as well as successes. PERC teachers develop lesson plans for the TA Scholar class that include PERC class content, advanced (enrichment) material, instructional strategies and techniques, and college-preparedness skills. By teaching about teaching, they sharpen their own skills and gain new perspectives on their vocation. The PERC teacher is usually scheduled with four PERC classes and one TA Scholar class.
"My favorite lessons are the ones where the tutors just run the whole show. I really planned well and prepped the tutors ahead of time. They take over and I watch the learning happen."

A Matter of Perspective: A Father-Daughter Hike in the Grand Canyon
By Michael Lanza
The New Hance Trail starts out hard, and then gets really tough. The rugged footpath drops off the South Rim into the Grand Canyon like a ball rolling off a table—4,422 vertical feet in 6.5 miles from the rim to the Colorado River. Most of that relief comes in the first five miles, as the trail wiggles through more switchbacks than a squirrel racks up in a year of crossing streets. Geology magnifies the unmaintained path's grueling character: It drops over hundreds of knee-jarring, quad-jellying ledges two to three feet high, which can seem endless to someone carrying a backpack.
I imagine it seems especially endless to someone who stands barely more than four-and-a-half feet tall. Continue reading →
Ask Me: What Backpacking Trips Do You Suggest In the Grand Canyon and Southern Utah?
Hi Michael,
I recently found your blog while planning a trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone, and have devoured it in its entirety over the past few months. While reading I mainly lamented living in the mostly boring Midwest, with poor access to the prime backpacking spots you describe. Well, as luck would have it my partner just got a job in Phoenix, AZ, so we two flatlanders will now be a short drive from the Grand Canyon, and accessible to Canyonlands, Arches, and much more. My question for you: what backpacking trips would you most recommend as first priorities for two reasonably fit, decently equipped people new to the Phoenix area? Continue reading →
Photo Gallery: Backpacking the Grand Canyon, Grandview Point to the South Kaibab Trailhead
By Michael Lanza
Are you ready to step up to the next level of adventure? The 29-mile, four-day hike from Grandview Point to the South Kaibab Trailhead is a classic, and not as popular as other Big Ditch backpacking trips. It features infinite views of deep chasms and soaring towers from arguably to two most scenic trails on the Grand Canyon's South Rim—the Grandview and South Kaibab trails—and a traverse of the gentler Tonto Plateau, with mind-blowing panoramas stretching from the canyon rims to the Colorado River.

My Top 10 Family Adventures
By Michael Lanza
How many outdoor trips do you have on the calendar for 2014 already? I have three, with five more in active planning stages. For me, this is the time of year for pulling out maps and guidebooks and poring over my list of adventures I want to take. My document slugged "Trip Ideas" is now 13,423 words long—and growing. I need to get busy.
If you're looking for some ideas and inspiration for 2014, here are my 10 favorite family adventures at The Big Outside (another list that will keep growing and evolving), as well as a bonus 11th trip that made this list last year but saw its spot usurped this year. Continue reading →
Dropping Into the Grand Canyon: A four-day hike from Grandview Point to the South Kaibab Trail
By Michael Lanza
Hiking down the snow- and ice-covered Grandview Trail into the world's most famous canyon, I'm thinking about time. It's not such an odd thing to think about when you're walking on rock that's 270 million years old, while looking out at geologic layers that make the stone under your feet seem adolescent. But I'm thinking about a much, much shorter period of time: 11 years, actually. Continue reading →

Photos: Seven of Microsoft's hardware hits and misses
Summary: Company gets lion's share of revenue from software, but it's created a sizable hardware business, too.
2 of 7Image
Xbox 360Microsoft gets the lion's share of its revenue and profits from software, but it's created a sizable hardware business, too. The company's offerings may soon grow if it releases a music player. Unconfirmed and watery rumors also have the Redmond, Wash.-based company buying a GPS maker.
Here are some of Microsoft's notable forays into the glories of hardware.
1. The Xbox 360
The successor to the Xbox, the Xbox 360, has allowed Microsoft to get the jump on rival Sony in next-generation game consoles despite a severe shortage early on. The machine comes in several configurations, and video game fans can upgrade the controller and buy all sorts of spare cables. An add-on HD DVD drive is coming.
IntelliMouse Explorer2. IntelliMouse Explorer
Feast your eyes on the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth. Microsoft has done mice for decades, pitting themselves against Logitech. The first one was designed by Ideo, a Palo Alto, Calif., design firm. The idea was to create something that didn't look like it was designed, Ideo co-founder Mike Nuttall said in an interview a few years ago.
Digital Media Pro Keyboard3. Digital Media Pro Keyboard
The Digital Media Pro Keyboard features a slider that lets you zoom in and out of documents and pictures. The keyboard has customizable keys for quick access. Keyboard-mouse bundles sell for about $80 to $100, depending on the configuration.

Im the guild leader of a good guild in one of the worst realms in the game for alli.. this last week, we had desided we had enough. always short people for raids. everyone in the guild was in the top 5 on the realm for they're class. We changed servers last night. The new server is great, nice people, ah moves fast, pugs go further then most of the guilds did in our old realm. However, this didnt come with a price... at least for me. A few of us joined pugs to see what its like. The raid leaders are using addons ive never seen or heard of. Every motion in the raid is so fluid without an explination. I went from being top tank in the realm to being middle of the pack at best. I cant help but to wonder.... am I out classed here? How can i expect to hold a guild together when pugs progress further then we have in 25 man?
How can i up my game/knowladge base to provide the same level of service to my guild when the bar just got raised 3 fold? this could be completly retarded of me, but Im genuwinly concerned. We have been through so much, and accomplished so much compared to others in our old realm and now i dont know how to provide the same lvl of achivment in this new, highly advanced realm. where should i start? how do i hold it together?
thanks for your advice in advance

Director - Chris CurtisAdvertising, Animation, Art Direction2014
This is a 2.30min commercial I made for Audi and BBH. Celebrating their amazing dominance of Le Mans. This year they brought out a new coupe car, called a R18. It looks amazing, but as well as having a great time featuring the car we also wanted to focus on their driver (Allan McNish) and the incredible physical feat it takes to drive at the top level in this world famous race. The music is composed by the very talented Chris Reed. This is the 'left eye' 2D version of the 3D stereoscopic version we delivered for cinema and TV.Advertising, Animation, Art Direction2014
Celebrating 75 years of high-performance sweet cars from Chrysler in my latest 30 second commercial for their Anniversary.
More cool cars with the ace Art Directing of Tim Marrs, who rocked his shizzle on my Audi's 'A day in the Life of an Audi Driver' last year. Using vintage and new footage from Mopar, the mighty Nick Hristou created a fast paced live action edit taking us through the years. Each scene was then transformed by Tim before passing it onto animation and compositing to bring all the textures and depth in the scenes to life.Advertising, Animation, Art Direction2014

The Scala is a failing art-house cinema, managed by pretentious film buff Kenneth Forbes. The cinema has recently been bought out by the cinema chain, Cinegiant, who have sent Deborah Reynolds, their Interim Transitional Co-ordinator, to implement changes.
The staff struggle to adapt their quirky world to Cinegiant's corporate vision. Film pastiches which are woven in to the narrative reflect the characters' fears, fantasies and failings. The cast (Spymonkey) play all the characters.Art Direction, Cinematography, Directing2014
this is a music video I made mid December. Based on my rather large collection of 40s and 50s American greetings cards.

About Tanya & Matthew Nguyen
My husband and I built this house for ourselves after we've exhausted our search for a perfect vacation home for our family. We started groundbreaking on February 14, 2008 and were just putting on finishing touches the weekend before Hurricane IKE made landfall on Galveston Island on September 10, 2008. Needless to say, it was our longest weekend with lots of anticipation and expectation. Fortunately, the house was practically untouched after the storm. We have been using it for ourselves and for our extended families since. Everyone just loves our house. Our priorities have changed as the kids are heading to college and we decided to begin renting out our house. So here goes the beginning of our new venture.
Tanya & Matthew Nguyen purchased this house in 2008

"I will sum up your Knight's Tour routine as follows, IT IS BRILLIANT!" - David Burmeister
This manuscript describes in detail this method. The method attempts to minimize memorization and teaches you a system to derive a proper complete tour on the spot. The method is so flexible that you can find several different tours for one pair of start and end points. Of course, there is some memorization necessary. The method makes it straight forward and practical to derive a complete knight's tour even under high pressure situations.
It is also the only method published which truly allows you to perform this blindfolded without any sight of the chessboard.
It would be wrong to say this is an easy method to learn, but it is definitely achievable for anybody of average intelligence. If you can memorize a stacked deck of cards, you should be able to learn this method. My method takes an 'impossible' feat and brings it down to a manageable level of difficulty.
Bonus: Bob Cassidy contributed a fantastic idea which eliminates all memorization! A classic Cassidy idea.
My experience is that the effect on spectators is more sophisticated than the one of a giant memory performance. A giant memory is impressive but it is sometimes belittled as "well, he has a good memory". This knight's tour conveys more an effect of incredible logic or mathematical skill than simply a good memory.
I have guarded this secret for two decades. I hope it will bring as much joy to you as it has to me.

Month 1 Weight Loss: 2lbs
Month 2 Weight Gain: +.2.
Month 3 Starting Weight: 175.4
Life continues to be a struggle. I am starting to believe I am putting too much attention on my weight. So I'm cutting back on my exrecise to 20mins a day (with more exercise on some days) and I'm sticking with my calorie range. I think prayer is the only thing that will save me.
To Our Success!
Please pray for me to live a self fulfilling, loving, and healthy life this month. Oh and for that fat the fall off!
Month 1 Weight Loss: 2lbs
Month 2 Starting Weight: 175.2
July is here and summer is happening. My focus for this month is being happy. Being happy with myself, my body, and my actions. This month I joined a book club so I will be reading BITTER IS THE NEW BLACK for book club and THE HAPPINESS PROJECT for my own self discovery and pleasure. Since there is so much great information in THE SPARK, I will continue to blog about topics in the book. My Focus for the month of JULY:
- Work out for a minimum of 35mintues 6 days/week (resting 1 day)
- 128 oz of water/day
- Read book club book and THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
- Blog everyday
- Take vitamins everyday
- Learn to knit
- Apply for 5 jobs
- Have alcohol 2 nights for the month
- GOAL: Lose 5 pounds
To Our Success!
Please pray for me to live a self fulfilling, loving, and healthy life this month. Oh and for that fat the fall off!
Starting weight: 177.2
Week 1 weight: 178.2 (+1)
Week 2 Weight: 175.4 (-2.8)
Week 3 Weight: 174.6 (-.8)
Week 4 Weight: 175.2 (+.4)
At the beginning of June I made the following goals and have noted the progress I have made on them:
- Follow the 28 breath through plan outlined in THE SPARK: I completed the book and am still learning valuable lessons. This is the hardest journey of my life and while things haven�t been working in my favor, I will not give up! I will beat the fat cells in my body! I will win this battle!
- Blog everyday: While I may not have posted everyday, writing everyday helped me to overcome the guilt I felt with poor decisions I made. It has helped me to realize the actions I need to work on.
- 128oz of water/day: I did it!!! It helped me to gain control and keep focused on something else other than food.
- Minimum of 30 minutes of exercise each day: I did it!! Most day I did at least a hour, everyday is a little intense and I think my body needs a rest.
- Go on 2 job interviews: I went on one job interview, but they asked me to complete my second interview during the same time. I need to focus on this more next month.
- GOAL: Loose 6 pounds: while I lost 2 pounds I was in the middle of a 4 day cleanse when June 1 came around because I was 180 thus for the month of June I lost 4.8lbs, which I am really happy with. It was NOT easy I did get to know myself even more and each day I learned about myself and the choices I make. After dinner continues to be my biggest struggle and hope to focus on that next month.
To our Success
Please pray for me to make smart choices.
Today was a good day. I let myself live a little and hopefully in more moderation. i ate a little more today in hopes to lose weight because i ran 7 miles today and with my increased running I think i need to eat more. i did over eat this evening--i just have sticky fingers--miz!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i know i am on the right track and i know i can do this!!!
To Our Success!
Please pray for me on this quest of knowing myself and search for love.
Today was a good day. hard to beleive the month is almost over. my exercise today was sleep--haha my body needed it. and tomorrow is going to be a busy day!
to our success
please pray for me on this journy of self discovery and quest for love

Bed bugs at BWV
Just a heads up to anyone planning on staying at BWV, we had a room with a confirmed (by Disney pest control) bed bug infestation. It was in an accessible room on the first floor, I wish I could remember the room number but we were moved and it was the third resort we stayed at this trip.
We were pleased with the way it was handled IN DISNEY, and have taken every precaution we can think of now that we are home to prevent an infestation here, but should we require treatment, Disney's claims department will surely be hearing from us.
Bed bugs are a huge problem to which Disney isn't immune. They are required to inspect each room every 30 days apparently. I don't blame Disney, but I do know we didn't have any bugs before we left home. Just be diligent in inspecting your room prior to bringing your luggage in. Don't be naive to think because it's Disney, you're in the clear.
I'm guessing you must have experienced bites? Did you actually see them, and where did you look? I usually flip up the mattress and check, but I'm usually pretty casual about it. Just wondering how you found them...besides bites. I really hope you're okay at home...what a pain!
Wow, that was a good catch! Thanks for the heads up and hope you guys make out ok
I just returned from 10 days at BWV on Friday and didn't have any issues in my room - but it's a very spread out resort as we are all well aware. Sorry that the OP had to deal with them. That is why I always go get the room key, go check out the room well (including a thorough bed bug check) and THEN go get the luggage. It's true that it can happen anywhere, and does, so you should always check for bedbugs first thing and if you have to bring any luggage in with you on that initial trip, place it in the bathroom until you have cleared the room. If you fly or leave your bags with bell services, you should thoroughly inspect your bags and contents when you receive them as the bugs can spread from suitcase to suitcase during travel as well (another reason I'm glad I drive :thumbsup2).
I definitely learned my lesson. I'm pretty diligent about checking when staying elsewhere (especially NYC), but I always had a "it's Disney, they don't have bed bugs" attitude. Yeah, well, now I know...
It's not just me, either. Since this happened, I've been scouring the Internet trying to find out how likely it is we will now find them at home. I actually came across a bed bug exterminator who slept in his room at BCV without checking the room and then found BB evidence after the fact. Even the most cautious of us assume Disney is a problem-free zone.
So if you take anything from this post, check the room before you bring your things in!
We had them at pofq last August. Yes it was confirmed by disney past control. Dd had little bites all over her arm. We did not see them. Practically ruined our vacation. Needless to say since then we have been vigilant about checking to see if there are bed bugs in every hotel we have been in since.
Oh no! Sorry you had to deal with this on your vacation! We're staying at the BWV in April. Just curious what type of room you were in? Hope the rest of your vacation went well!
Sorry you had to deal with this but you have the right attitude about it. Could you (or anyone) post exactly how to check for them & what to look for?
As far as checking your room for them, there's a ton of resources online which have tips and photos of the bugs in the different life stages (YUCK!). The important things are inspecting the seams and tags on the mattress and around the box spring using a flashlight. Look behind the headboard and nightstand, any fixtures near the bed. You're looking for bugs, their carcasses and small blood stains (from people getting bit and also the bugs' fecal stains). Don't ever put your bags on the bed, use the folding luggage rack or keep your bags in the bathroom.
OP -- so sorry you had to deal with this! :faint: I hope none of them followed you home.
And thanks, I'm freaked about getting them at home. It's true that most of the affects are psychological!
If they were at the BWV, undoubtedly, Disney has gotten rid of them in that villa and checked the neighboring villas. They usually hitchhike in with the guests' luggage, computers or other stuff brought in by the guests. You never think of Magical Express as ME for Bedbugs.

GIANT number eight Semisi Taulava and powerhouse prop Rob O'Donnell are on their way to Worcester Warriors next season after signing from Rotheram Titans.
The star pack duo, who have shone in the RFU Championship side this year, will join Warriors for the start of the 2012/13 season.
Tongan enforcer Taulava, who stands 6ft 5in and weighs 20 stone, has made his impact known throughout the second tier this term to attract a number of admiring glances from the top-flight.
The agile 29-year-old has previously played at Wanganui, Taranaki, Worthing and at Birmingham & Solihull before his year at Titans.
Forwards coach Phil Davies said he was confident Taulava could make the step up.
"If you look around the Aviva Premiership for outstanding ball carrying Number Eights you automatically think of the likes of Nick Easter and Ben Morgan," he said.
"We feel Semisi can become one of those kinds of player for us.
"He is a very big forward who carries the ball well and has all the right attributes to make a massive impression here. He is destructive with his size and asks questions of everyone he plays against."
O'Donnell, who has had playing spells at Sale Sharks and Waterloo, is also 6ft 5in and weighs more than 19 stone.
The highly-rated prop, 26, has been a key component in the powerful pack at Rotherham in recent times.
Davies added: "Everybody is always looking for quality tighthead props and we have been very fortunate in recent times that Tevita (Taumoepeau) has been the cornerstone of our pack.
"Rob has been, in my opinion, the outstanding tighthead prop in the RFU Championship.
"We feel he has fantastic potential to develop into an outstanding prop in the Premiership. He is a strong scrummager and is an abrasive player with ball in hand. He is also a good defender, especially around the rucks.
"He is the right character fit for us, a team man who works very hard. Both Rob and Semisi will be excellent additions to our squad."

Get in the mood for next year's Battery Surf CampPublished on 28.8.2012 15:44
The 14th traditional surfing event Battery Surf Camp was held in Roosta Holiday Village on July 11th-15th July 2012. The event attracted more than 2 000 people to the Roosta beach on five subsequent days. For the first time in the history of Estonian festivals, the event was organized following environment-friendly principles.
This year, the Surf Camp focused on green thinking, originating from the essence of surfing as a nature-loving sport. "We can say that surfers are environment-conscious people", commented the Head Organizer of Battery Surfcamp 2012, Kristel Vettik.
The aim of the green concept was to decrease the amount of waste on the scenic site at least by one third. "We are satisfied with the result as the amount of trash decreased even by half this year. The public discipline was in general good and we can say that Estonians are open to environment-conscious events. We hope to see the same approach regarding forthcoming events by other organizers!" Vettik was optimistic.
The program of the Battery Surf Camp was, once again, versatile. The camp featured many surf trainings for beginners and advanced levels, for kitesurfing fans and windsurfers. The Roxy Ladies Surf competition was held together with My First Competition where first-timers could test their competitive skills.
In addition to the surf-related program, the Battery Surf Camp offered many workshops on ecological footprint, skincare, healthy nutrition, first aid, art etc. as well as numerous dance lessons.
The feedback from surfers proved that the new green Battery Surf Camp concept gained positive emotions together with the quality program of the festival.
Surfing is a lifestyle and the Battery Surf Camp represents it all: sun, fun on the beach, surfing and, above all, good company.
