At a time when manufacturers are intent on cramming their portable products with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, e-mail, and streaming YouTube players, it's refreshing to see a touch-screen device that keeps things simple. The O2's handful of capabilities may seem old school, but features such as hi-def video playback, SDHC memory expansion, a 10-band graphic EQ, and raw photo support, offer discriminating users the kind of power and flexibility they won't find on a product like the iPhone.
First and foremost, the Cowon O2 is made for video playback. Unlike the iPod, Zune, or most video-capable MP3 players, the Cowon O2 doesn't impose many restrictions on what type or what size videos it plays. If your video library is a cornucopia of file formats and resolutions (video podcasts, DivX DVD rips, unprotected DVR files) and you want a zero-fuss way to take that content on the go without the headache of converting files, the O2 is your best choice for less than $300. Specifically, the O2 plays back AVI, WMV, ASF, MP4, MKV, OGM, DAT, MTV, DivX, XviD, MPEG-4, WMV 9/8/7, H.264, M-JPEG, and MPEG 1. The O2 is also agnostic when it comes to video resolution, accepting files all the way up to 1,280x720 at 30fps. It is, however, missing support for MOV, VOB, and the protected WMV format used by Amazon Video On Demand, Cinema Now, and some DVR systems.
Aside from loading, playing, pausing, and skipping around your video files, the O2 also offers advanced features such as manual bookmarking (Cowon calls it "favoriting"), multiple aspect ratios, pan and scan controls for zooming content to full screen, 3D sound enhancement, subtitle support, and the ability to select between multiple audio tracks. Using an optional $10 AV cable, you can also output video (or any of the O2's features) to composite-compatible TV set.
The O2's music features are equally impressive, although, as we mentioned before, sorting through your collection can be a pain. The exhaustive list of format support includes: MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless (not advertised, but it works), AC3, AAC, FLAC, OGG Vorbis, OGG FLAC, Apple Lossless, True Audio, Monkey Audio, MusePack, WavPack, G.726, and PCM. What you don't get is compatibility with DRM-protected WMA tracks (including subscription music) or protected AAC tracks from iTunes. In typical Cowon style, the O2 includes tons of audio enhancement features, including the same EQ presets and BBE enhancement effects found on the Cowon D2 and iAudio 7. The O2 goes one better, however, by including a customizable 10-band EQ with independent frequency bandwidth settings you can switch between narrow and wide.
Video and audio playback are the headline features on the O2, however, Cowon also throws in a voice recorder, text reader, calculator, notepad, and a photo viewer that supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and raw images. Because the O2 allows you to both read and copy files from the SD card slot, the player's large screen makes for a handy, portable photo album (or just a nice place to offload photos to free up space on your camera).
The Cowon O2's 480x272 screen resolution is mediocre compared with the breathtaking screens found on the Archos 5 or Cowon A3, but we prefer it to the video experience of the iPod Touch. We noticed some slight darkening on the O2's screen when tilted slightly upward, but viewing angles are otherwise great. Cowon includes display settings for brightness and independent color balance control over red, green, blue, and black. Considering the price, the Cowon O2's video performance is outstanding and the range of playback control and file compatibility is impossible to match. If there's one thing we could change, however, it would be the O2's inability to automatically resume interrupted playback. Sometimes you need to watch a video in small doses, and it's convenient to have a PVP that remembers where you left off. The O2 allows users to manually bookmark their videos, but it's not quite as convenient as the autoresume feature found on the iPod.
The O2's audio playback is fantastic, although the earbuds bundled with the player don't do it justice. All the sound enhancement and EQ features that have made Cowon products such as the D2 and iAudio 7 popular with audio enthusiasts are here on the O2, as well. We were skeptical of the O2's claim to support Apple Lossless music files, but lo and behold, our lossless version of Radiohead's OK Computer sounded beautiful, especially through full-size cans like the Ultrasone HFI-2200.
Cowon claims that the O2 will get up to 8 hours of video playback (under "optimal" conditions) before surrendering. CNET Labs verified Cowon's claims with test results reaching just a hair over 8 hours, putting the O2 far beyond the 4 hours of video life on the Archos 5, and ahead of the 6 hours of video on the iPod Touch. Audio battery life isn't as impressive, rated at 18 hours (CNET Labs results averaged 17 hours), but it's still ahead of the 12 hours of playback time on the Archos 5. Another thing to bear in mind is that all of the O2's competitors require a proprietary cable to recharge the battery, which can be a huge pain if you lose the cable while traveling. The O2 charges best when using the included AC adapter, but you can charge over its Mini-USB connection, as well.

You have that backwards. Vickerson is the NT, and Knighton was signed to be the UT (because he theoretically has a little more ability to collapse the pocket). Whatever ability Knighton has, he's not a great 3-tech.
As I stated to start this conversation, Wolfe has MUCH better ability to collapse the pocket at UT then Knighton...and should be playing at there (at 3-tech (not 5-tech).

The Broncos run a 4-3 Under. One side is like a 3-4, and the other side is like a 4-3. That is something you don't understand. I don't hate Knighton, I just don't like him at 3-tech.

If Wolf lines up inside with Knighten, and Knighten gets double teamed, does this not leave Wolfe in a one-on-one situation? Wolfe, being the superior pass rusher, should be able to consistently beat whatever blocker is assigned to him, correct? Again, Knighten helps Wolfe by absorbing more attention from the opposing offensive line.
Your only valid argument about Knighten being a wasted FA pick up is IF opposing offensive lines double up Wolfe and leave Knighten in a one-on-one situation and Knighten can't take advantage of this. IF this is what you are saying, ok, but again, I like any of our defensive line guys, including Ayers, Jackson, Wolfe, Vickerson and yes Knighten in a one-on-one match up. Knighten is a huge DT/NT. He should be able to get inside pressure if he's blocked by one guy like a center or guard. Is he gonna do a swim move, or a quick spin move and simply get to the opposing QB with quickness, No. Is he gonna collapse the pocket and push the opposing offensive lineman back into the QB, yes. Regardless if Knighten gets a sack or not, his ability to create pressure by collapsing the pocket is what the Broncos are looking for, that is, if Knighten does not demand a double team.
The Broncos Defense is a hybrid of both 3-4 and 4-3 (a 4-3 Under). Neither Knighton, nor Vickerson 'require' a double-team. Wolfe sometimes does. If you don't have a true impact NT (a guy who requires a double-team), it would be much more preferable to me to have a guy who can beat one-on-one matchups consistently. Wolfe can. Vickerson can't. The jury is out on Pot Roast, but his career history gives no indication that he's an impact player. That's exactly why I would rather have kept Dumervil (instead of wasting money on non-impact players like Knighton), have Wolfe play at 3-tech almost all the time, Malik Jackson, Robert Ayers (or a draft pick) play 5-tech, and Vickerson play NT.
The Broncos only play an odd front 35% of the time...why waste nearly $5M on two guys (Vickerson/Knighton), who are basically the same player?...And release a perennial Pro Bowler? They could have, and should have done more to keep Dumervil, but their hands are tied because they have signed way to many marginal FA's to over-priced contracts, when there are already better players (like Wolfe and Dumervil) on the roster.
I would much prefer this base defense (which would collapse the pocket quickly):
Dumervil, Wolfe, Vickerson, Ayers, Miller
To the one we are now stuck with (almost no pass-rush ability outside of Miller):
Ayers, Knighton, Vickerson, Wolfe, Miller
Now the Broncos have to waste a 1st round draft pick on a RDE.

I'll tell you a story that happened when my daughter went to Catholic school. Every Wednesday morning they had class coffee with the mothers. Class coffee for a working woman—how is it going to work? How am I going to take off 9 o'clock on Wednesday mornings? So I missed most class coffees. My daughter would come home and she would list off all the mothers that were there and say, "You were not there, mom."
The first few times I would die with guilt. But I developed coping mechanisms. I called the school and I said, "give me a list of mothers that are not there." So when she came home in the evening she said, "You were not there, you were not there."
And I said, "ah ha, Mrs. Redd wasn't there, Mrs. So and So wasn't there. So I'm not the only bad mother."
You know, you have to cope, because you die with guilt. You just die with guilt. My observation, David, is that the biological clock and the career clock are in total conflict with each other. Total, complete conflict. When you have to have kids you have to build your career. Just as you're rising to middle management your kids need you because they're teenagers, they need you for the teenage years.
And that's the time your husband becomes a teenager too, so he needs you (laughing). They need you too. What do you do? And as you grow even more, your parents need you because they're aging. So we're screwed. We have no... we cannot have it all. Do you know what? Coping mechanisms. Train people at work. Train your family to be your extended family. You know what? When I'm in PepsiCo I travel a lot, and when my kids were tiny, especially my second one, we had strict rules on playing Nintendo. She'd call the office, and she didn't care if I was in China, Japan, India, wherever. She'd call the office, the receptionist would pick up the phone, "Can I speak to my mommy?" Everybody knows if somebody says, 'Can I speak to mommy?' It's my daughter. So she'd say, "Yes, Tyra, what can I do for you?"
"I want to play Nintendo."
So she has a set of questions. "Have you finished your homework?" Etc. I say this because that's what it takes. She goes through the questions and she says, "Okay, you can play Nintendo half an hour." Then she leaves me a message. "Tyra called at 5. This is the sequence of questions I went through. I've given her permission." So it's seamless parenting. But if you don't do that, I'm serious, if you don't develop mechanisms with your secretaries, with the extended office, with everybody around you, it cannot work. You know, stay at home mothering was a full time job. Being a CEO for a company is three full time jobs rolled into one. How can you do justice to all? You can't. The person who hurts the most through this whole thing is your spouse. There's no question about it. You know, Raj always said, you know what, your list is PepsioCo, PepsiCo, PepsiCo, our two kids, your mom, and then at the bottom of the list is me. There are two ways to look at it. (laughing) You should be happy you're on the list. So don't complain. (laughing) He is on the list. He is very much on the list. But you know, (laughing) sorry, David.

St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Jason Bartlett fell a home run shy of the cycle, going 3-for-4 with a walk and two RBI, as Tampa Bay defeated Kansas City, 10-4, in the finale of a four-game series at Tropicana Field.
Carl Crawford also collected three hits and knocked in three runs for the Rays, who have won four of their last six games and crept to within 5 1/2 games of the first-place New York Yankees in the AL East standings. Switch- hitter Willy Aybar homered from each side of the plate and Carlos Pena stroked a two-run single.
Scott Kazmir (6-6) gave up three runs on six hits and struck out five in six- plus innings.
"I thought (Kazmir) maintained a pretty good tempo," said Rays manager Joe Maddon. "He was able to throw a strike with his fastball when he wanted to."
Miguel Olivo and Yuniesky Betancourt both finished 2-for-4 with a run batted in for the Royals, who have lost five of six.
Zack Greinke (10-7), who began the game with an MLB-best 2.08 earned run average, labored through five innings. The right-hander surrendered six runs and a season-high 10 hits while walking three and striking out nine.
"(The Rays) are tough. They swing the bats and put a lot of pressure on you," said Kansas City acting manager John Gibbons. Royals manager Trey Hillman was not with the team because of a family emergency.
It was an industrious first inning for the Royals' young hurler. A leadoff walk to Bartlett was followed by a Crawford single. Evan Longoria grounded out to deep short, advancing both runners into scoring position. Another free pass loaded the bases for Pena, who slapped a two-run single the opposite way to left field. Greinke fanned Aybar and Gabe Gross to end the first, but encountered more trouble in the next frame.
But before the Rays came to bat in the bottom of the second, Kansas City dented the scoreboard in the top of the inning. Mark Teahen led off with a double and Olivo hit a two-out, bloop single that landed in shallow center field amongst a trio of pursuers.
Then Tampa Bay loaded the bases with no outs and Crawford lined a two-run double to the right-field corner for a 4-1 lead. The 2009 All-Star Game MVP added a run-scoring single in the fourth that plated Bartlett, who was aboard via a one-out double.
Aybar launched a solo home run to right in the fifth, but Kansas City closed the gap to 6-3 with an RBI double from John Buck and a Billy Butler sacrifice fly in the sixth and seventh innings, respectively.
The Rays, though, pushed four runs across in the home seventh to put the game out of reach. Aybar, batting right-handed against Ron Mahay, hammered a pitch over the wall in left. Gross walked and Michel Hernandez hit a sinking liner that skipped past diving right fielder Ryan Freel for an RBI triple. Roman Colon then walked Gabe Kapler and Bartlett drove a pitch to right for a two- run triple.
Betancourt homered in the ninth off J.P. Howell to account for the final score.

Part I is up now, covering the games from days of yore.

The Good, The Bad, and The Other: Part I

I hope to have Part II up next week, covering some of the more recent games (especially the very recent ones that started this whole thing in the first place...)tag:destructoid.com,2008:10671480 Hours of FFTA2 Later...2008-10-07T17:30:16Z2008-10-07T17:30:16ZAnd I'm finally done with the game, and thus finally ready to give my review. Better late than never, right?

http://www.spectaclerock.com/2008/10/06/review-final-fantasy-tactics-advanced-2/tag:destructoid.com,2008:89825The Start of the Affair: The Treasure of Tarmin2008-06-09T12:07:03Z2008-06-09T12:07:03ZIn the far-off mists of time, in a distant land known as the early 80's, a mighty beast strode the realm of home videogaming, crushing others beneath its feet. That beast, as you know, was the Atari 2600 (and its related kin). Often overlooked, however, was a stranger creature, one not as flashy or well-known, but that could still hold its own with the best of them. That mysterious beast was called the Intellevision, and in my childhood home, it was our one and only console.

Meet the thumbwrecker.

The Intellivision may not have had some of the big-name games that the Atari had, and it may have had one of the strangest controllers to ever grace a console system, but it was ours, and I adored it. Countless hours were spent nested in my basement bean-bag chair, munching on Cheerios and playing pixilated baseball, dropping digital hamburger buns on equally digital angry hot dogs, or simply leaping from virtual lily-pad to virtual lily-pad, snapping up flies until night fell. And that is not even touching on the pure bliss that was Shark! Shark!, of which I have written much before and will likely write much again.

So, yes, the games were there, and I most certainly played them between bouts of watching GI Joe cartoons and playing with GI Joe figures, but there was one game that was different from the rest, and made me think about video games in a whole different way.

Dungeons and Dragons: The Treasure of Tarmin, was actually the second D&D game for the Intellivision. Now, as a mere child, I was not really familiar with the concept of D&D, nor that fact that even looking at the box cover would endanger my immortal soul, so I went into it with no preconceived notions. The actual connections to Dungeons & Dragons itself were pretty flimsy, and I suspect it was simply a licensing deal that worked out well for both parties involved. Tarmin was a dungeon crawl in the same vein as early Wizardry games for the PC, minus any sort of character customization or, you know, story. The player finds themselves on a lonely island, in a massive labyrinth stretching beneath an ancient castle. At the bottom of the labyrinth lay the glorious Treasure of Tarmin, guarded by the fiercesome Minotaur. Slay him and claim it as your own, and victory would be yours (as well as, assumedly, massive riches and scantily-clad elven ladies. That really wasn't covered in the manual).

The ironic thing is that it turns out the best treasure was actually up in the towers.

The game took place from a first-person perspective, looking down the dungeon hallways while the player's inventory was arrayed along the bottom of the screen. The entire adventure took place in the dungeon, making your way down hallways and through doors, looking for the ladder down to the next level. Depending on the difficulty you chose, the labyrinth could be as simple as a 4 level deep jaunt, or as in depth as a 20 level deep behemoth that stretched across the entire island. You start off armed with a simple wooden bow, ready to face whatever dangers the labyrinth may hold. And oh, what dangers it would hold. Monsters would appear at a distance of around 3 steps away, making terrifying, blippy noises. Some would never move, whereas others would come hunting after you. Giant ants, Giant scorpians, giant Giants; it was a veritable menagerie of big, mono-colored creatures. Combat was... let's call it "turn-based." You would select your weapon or item, use it, and if you were lucky, the creature would flash and make a noise, indicating a hit. The monster would then take its turn, roaring at you and attacking, which would usually kill you. At least, in my experiences, that's how it usually went. An important thing to note here is that everything in the labyrinth wanted to kill you. The monsters stalked you, chests would be trapped, and even doors would occasionally just up and fire a lightning bolt at you. This was not a maze for the unwary. When death came, which it almost always did, the game over scene was simple; a full view of the map of the labyrinth, with a simple flashing white gravestone indicating how far you made it. A lonely adventurer forever lost to the dangers of Tarmin.

This door hates you more than your puny human mind can comprehend.

During the pleasant periods of not being slaughtered, exploring the dungeon would bring riches of discovery. Every weapon and item in the game had a different quality based on its color, with wood (brown) at the bottom, and platinum (white) at the top. And while it did seem odd that there were spellbooks out there made of platinum, you stopped caring about the details as soon as you found one. Treasure containers came in various sizes, from simple sacks of coins to large containers holding mighty weapons and armor. Games, especially on the higher difficulty levels, could go on for hours, which was quite unheard of to me at the time. My sister and dad and I would often play as a team, shouting out instructions to whomever had the controller about which direction to go, or whether to try and open that door that looked suspiciously like it was about to rain lightningy death upon us.

What Treasure of Tarmin really showed me, though, was that games could be worlds unto themselves. Lock 'N Chase was fun, but my sense of involvement with the little cop was limited. Tarmin managed to put me into a world different from my own, and let me and my imagination build the story around me every time I played. It was not a small bundle of pixels in that dungeon; it was me. I was finding silver bows, I was slaying angry spiders, I was the one nervously opening treasure chests deep in the bowels of the dark island. For a game that had no story, it still let me build stories in my own mind like no other game before it had done. Tarmin opened my eyes to the idea that games could be epic in their own way, that they could be more than just a fleeting distraction of glowing bits.

In the darkness of the hallway, Zargon spotted the giant scorpian waiting for him. Or maybe it was an octopus. It was really hard to tell, even for an adventurer as seasoned as he. Regardless, he grasped his platinum spellbook in his hand and made ready to face the foe, desparately hoping that the door next to him would not suddenly launch a fireball into his ass. Fucking evil doors.

My world of games expanded in the following years, with an Apple IIe introducing me to the world of Maniac Mansion and its kin, and then eventually a PC and a Nintendo, and the many new worlds that each of them brought as well, each in their own way. Treasure of Tarmin, however, was still the first to open my eyes to what could be, and they've been wide open ever since.tag:destructoid.com,2008:89642The Playback Machine: An Apology2008-06-07T18:53:42Z2008-06-07T18:53:42ZJust wanted to quickly apologize to my no-doubt numerous fans wondering what happened to the Playback Machine, eager to find out what happens next. I've been busy the past many weeks getting myself married and traipsing off on my honeymoon. That somehow managed to take precedence over my video gaming (bizzare, I know). Anyway, with that bit of business out of the way, I shall endevour to pick up the adventure once again, and regale you with the party's continued quest! Stay tuned!tag:destructoid.com,2008:82904The Playback Machine: An Adventure in Orkogre Castle2008-04-23T09:18:10Z2008-04-23T09:18:10ZWhen last we left off, the party was leaving New City for the first time and heading into the wilderness in search of Orkogre Castle, home of the Gorn. With a message of utmost importance to the king, speed is off the essence!

Heading down the road from New City, we encounter a few simple enemies (bugs and such), but nothing too particularly challenging. Coming to a fork in the road, we recall that Boerigard told us to head North, so we use Tragic's map and determine which way to go. Tromping down the road a little further leads us to our first indications that we've entered Gorn lands...

[embed]82899:10647[/embed]

A civil war erupting, eh? Sounds like our mission really is quite important! You'll notice that in that exchance with Lord Galiere, we also used the "Lore" function. What that does is gives us updates on what all of the NPCs we have encountered so far are up to. While this sounds harmless enough, it also represents us giving information to the NPC, which may help speed them along in finding the Maps that we are looking for, so it is a bit of a double-edged sword.

Following Boerigard's instructions, we move into the forest past the road and begin our search for the entrance to the castle. After slogging our way through several large battles with some lesser Gorn rebels, we finally find a ladder descending into the ground in a hidden grove. With that, the castle is breached...

[embed]82899:10648[/embed]

The Castle is, fortunately, laid out in a relatively logical way, and is not so maze-like as other dungeons. Our encounters with Gorn soldiers continue, growing more difficult the deeper in we delve. On the up side, we do manage to slay a Gorn Captain and lift a Spear +2 off of him, which we give to Tragic. It's now the strongest weapon we have in the party!

After descending a few levels, we come to the throne room, but are unable to find a way past the gates. Nearby, however, we find Murkatos's Outer Sanctum, which we are able to enter following a spot of puzzle-solving. Inside, we find the wizard's hastily scrawled last words...

[embed]82899:10649[/embed]

Using the conveniently placed ring of keys nearby, we follow his advice and check out the prison. After a few tough fights (including more bugs! What is with this planet and their storage of bugs in prisons? What kind of penal code is this?) we locate a hidden series of switches which takes us to a deeper level. There, we find Murkatos's Inner Sanctum.

[embed]82899:10650[/embed]

Such are the wages of treachery, it seems. Murkatos's own ambitions betray him, to the ruin of himself and his empire. Perhaps we can find a way to help mend his wrongs (as well as check out that treasure he mentioned...). With the wizard's spirit at rest, we take a secret path out of his sanctum, and using some things we found along the way, are finally able to enter the throne room itself. No doubt the Gorn King has some thoughts on all these events...

[embed]82899:10657[/embed]

I guess we managed to cheer him up slightly? If slaughtering his own people makes him happy, who are we to judge? At the very least, he has given us the keys to his secret stash, and that can only be good!

Heading back down to his bedchambers, we open up the secret chamber...

[embed]82899:10658[/embed]

Another map in our pockets! And, again, totally cryptic! When the time is right, I'm sure it will all make sense.

With that, our adventure in Orkogre Castle is more or less complete, so we pack up and trudge back to New City to sell some junk and restock on a few vitals. From there, I guess the next natural step would be to take that other fork in the road and see what lay to the South!tag:destructoid.com,2008:80957The Playback Machine: Prison Break (and someone dies...)2008-04-10T15:40:05Z2008-04-10T15:40:05ZOk, if you recall, I ended last time by saying there was a lot of Old City left to explore. This, it turns out, was a total lie. There was actually very little of Old City left to explore; simply a few more hallways, with nothing of note down any of them. Clearly, the Map was our big prize here, and with it safely in hand, we make our way back to the surface.

Looking around the city a little more, it seems we've done pretty much all we can here for the moment, except for one little detail. Remember that fellow down the ally pleading for us to help him out of prison? Well, we're a little tougher now, and busting into the local jail to face off with some Savant Guards seems like a perfect idea.

Here it is, in all its glory:

[embed]80937:10202[/embed]

For those who don't feel like watching, a bullet point summary:

-We win.
-Hitogoroshi, unfortunately, takes one too many spears to the face and passes into the great beyond.
-Fortunately, we have an Amulet of Life (our prize from Ra-Sep-Ra-Tep), so Hito comes back to us better than ever (but -1 Vitality)
-We get a nice load of EXP.
-The door code came from the barracks we raided earlier, for those who were paying attention.
-I demonstrate the reason we save immediately after battle by being ignobly killed by the bugs the Savant guys were keeping in the prison. Of course they were keeping bugs in prison. WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU KEEP THEM?

After that little boo-boo, we reload moments earlier, and this time try a different door. Door #2 gives us the result we were looking for...

[embed]80937:10203[/embed]

Alliances broken, war about the break out, and secret letters of passage; now we're getting juicy!

With that last task complete, we follow Boerigard's directions and head East out of the city and into the wilderness beyond... stay tuned!

A recent crime story out of North Carolina may make some smile, but should also serve as a subtle reminder that an overindulgence in candy can lead to poor dental health.
Local police in Cleveland County are looking for a man who allegedly stole more than $800 worth of candy out of a concession stand at Sunset Drive-In.
The thief reportedly gained entry by shooing the door lock with a gun. According to Cleveland County sheriff's detective Mark Craig, the suspect took a total of 120 boxes of chocolate Rasinettes and six cases of Sour Jacks.
Craig told the Star that it was "an interesting crime" and that no one in the department was really sure what someone would do with so much candy.
However, if the department asked a typical child, they may get a different answer.
While an occasional piece of candy is fine, parents interested in maintaining their child's dental health should start a daily routine of teeth cleanings and rinsing with fluoride.
Childhood tooth decay has been called the single most common chronic childhood disease by the American Dental Association. Dentists can help prevent or reduce the incidence of decay by applying sealants to a child's teeth.

Ideally, that would be great. Care to publish and work?October 3, 2001 at 1:05 pm #10333
Exactly, you wanna write for us? Hmm, I didn't think so!October 4, 2001 at 5:28 am #10350
aw, shucks… i thought you'll never ask… I would love to. How about commentary… albeit my perspectives are bit on the raw side. Who's my editor? dr
darina, i sense some frustration… or at least anger… smile child:)

Its just awesome to see our Cambodian-Americans coming together. And I'd like to see more of our people coming & uniting. It just gives me so much pride! But anyway, GREAT job on the article, KIM!October 7, 2001 at 11:25 pm #10382
cambodian-americans, thai-cambodians-americans, chinese-cambodian-americans, chinese-vietnamese-cambodian-cambodians…..let's all UNITE in some great JAMBALAYA pride. if the common thread in all of us is that we all live in america so be it. while i will never feel the full extent, i can only partly understand the grief felt by the families of the those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks. i am saddened. i am proud that so many of you took your time to show your american patriotism. let's not be like some arabs in news footages and start celebrating in the street after we start bombin' the streets. maybe they didn't know any better. maybe "we" don't know any better. who knows. btw: please include us angkorians. we will be sure to keep our pungs dry.

|We're looking to buy a home in area rife with 19th century houses. We are novices to this category of houses. I'm just now learning about plaster walls, knob and tube wiring, the benefits of old wood siding, etc.
Is anyone aware of detailed checklists of things to look out for when buying these types of homes? As noted above, I'm assembling my own notes, but an expert's take would be helpful.
The home inspection is of course key, but since homes in this area tend to sell so quickly, necessitating fast action, making a decent evaluation during the initial showing of the home will help separate the wheat from the chaff early.
Thanks for any help!

|hmm, let's see. if i was just walking around a house, i might take notice of
what is the hvac system? if converted to forced-air, was the old ductwork reused? if so, and there is a/c, were air returns added, particularly on the second floor? how many?
what kind of windows? if they are original (this is a plus to many of us), are there modern storms for additional comfort? do they work?
is the attic insulated? can you access the attic? were the walls insulated?
do the exterior doors open and close easily? are there large gaps around them when closed? is there a storm door?
are the ceilings smooth, plaster, are they popcorn, are they some type of drop ceiling?
are there any wall cracks that wide enough that i can fit a penny into? (note that i am generally unconcerned about finer cracks)
from the basement:
find the main structural beams. either i-beams or multiple pieces of lumber together or in some cases just massive lumber beams. how do they look? termite damage? generally okay? find where the floor joists go into the basement or are supported on the side. how do they look? if a stone foundation, how do the joist pockets look (in older houses they would make a notch in the stone foundation to hold the joist...this is a common place of failure and if it is failed look for the repair and if it looks good).
if i'm suspicious about a joist, i would be poking it with a pen or something like a letter opener or a nail or whatever i have handy to see if they are soft.
still in the basement...where is the electrical panel? is it modern? is the wire coming in modern romex (plastic insulation), older two-wire in sheathing, or knob & tube? some combination of these? is there some indication the service panel was installed professionally (eg service tags)?
what does the furnace look like? how does the water heater look? is there plumbing in the basement? is the sewer stack (the giant pipe) old cast iron (often fine) or PVC (you know it was replaced)? are the water lines that i see copper (good), pex (good), or galvanized (less good)?
do i see evidence of water intrusion, either staining or the homeowners belongings stacked on pallets or otherwise lifted off the ground?
in addition to what i wrote above -- how many outlets per room? how is the spacing? are they grounded or ungrounded (3 prong)?
are there ceiling fans or simple lights? are there indications of partial rewires, for example, is wire run in external conduit? does the bathroom have GFCI outlets? kitchen? how many outlets are in the kitchen?
when was the most recent renovation? are there multiple layers of floor? is it nasty or clean looking under the sink? how is the water pressure? how quick does the hot water come on? is there evidence of water damage on the ceiling below the kitchen/tub?
how is the closet space? how high are the ceilings? are the doors original? is the woodwork and molding original? is there crown molding, is there a chair rail, are there built-ins or otherwise interesting woodwork? do i like the color? is the wood painted or unpainted?
do the interior doors open and close easily? what season is it?
is there evidence of water damage, particularly around chimney runs or venting systems?
are there any major floor sags? if so, have they been addressed is some way? what does the ceiling look like below the sag?
how is the roof? what is the material? if asphalt shingles ("normal" roof), when was it last reroofed?
how are the chimneys? straight? how does the masonry look?
how is the porch? is it original? how is the wood? soft anywhere?
how are the soffits (this is the roof overhang, viewed from underneath)? do i see rotting wood? are they vinyl/aluminum or wooden? do i see animal entry points or evidence of critter homes?
how are the gutters? is there wood rot around the gutters, indicating that they clog? how far are the downspouts from the house? where does the rain go?
I'M TIRED NOW. Hopefully that is a good start. Take pictures of areas of concern and ask on here.

|Thank you so much! That was incredibly helpful.
|You are wise to ask. One needs to add up anticipated costs for improvements/upgrades, etc. before they make an offer and order the home inspection, etc. By that time one is quite committed.
In my observation most buyers are distracted by chatty agents and the numerous features that are added to sell a house. Even new paint can cloud the mind.
BTW, with any renovations (eg. bathroom) pause to look at the quality of the work. Agents are great at getting sellers to order "quick fix" solutions. Proceed cautiously.

Lawyer withdraws in Vt teacher slaying case
ST. JOHNSBURY A lawyer for a woman accused along with her husband in the killing of a popular St. Johnsbury teacher has withdrawn from the case because of a conflict of interest.
On Friday, the judge granted defense attorney Marc Eagles request.
Patricia Prue and her husband, Allen Prue, are accused of abducting and killing Melissa Jenkins after luring her from her home in March 2012. Both have pleaded not guilty.
Eagle had sought to be removed from the case because one of his former clients has become a potential witness for the state.
Eagle said Judge Mary Miles Teachout granted his motion to withdraw.
Patricia Prue previously had asked for a new lawyer, but Teachout denied her request.MORE IN Vermont NewsBOSTON Pigs nearly managed to fly in Connecticut, terrorized hikers in Maine and drew a police...

Before that, she worked for WYNC and has served as a consultant to cultural, media and educational institutions, including American Public Media and Minnesota Public Radio.

The academic phase in everyone's life brings in a rush of assignments either in school or college. It is a challenging time where deadlines have to be met, quality and creative content needs to be seen
4-H Indoor Gardening Project: Making a Desert Dish Garden Prepared by Madge Balden Adams, former special assignment writer for Horticulture Evaporation is slowed down by protective coverings of wax or hairs or by a reduced surface area. (Many succulent plants have a spherical shape because a sphere has the smallest surface area for a given volume.) Succulents grow naturally in semi-deserts where long, dry periods are broken by short, rainy periods. Cacti are one kind of succulent. What to Do Materials Plants With just a few essentials, a few minutes, and your creativity, you can make a desert dish garden. All you need are some cacti or other slow-growing succulent plants, a shallow dish, and sand. That's it. And the best part is that your garden in a dish will last for years with very little care. Succulents raised in dish gardens are even easier to care for than are single specimens. Fertilization is not needed because you do not want the plants to outgrow the container. You can buy cacti and other succulent plants from a florist or at a garden store that has a plant section. Choose plants of different sizes and shapes that will go well together to make an interesting garden. Choose plants that are in scale with the container you plan to use. Select small plants that grow slowly. Plants should fill the container but not crowd it. Some suitable plants are:...

Originally a pachinko game series, Umi Monogatari (Sea Story) was given an anime adaptation by ZEXCS in the summer of 2009 with the subtitle Anata ga Ite Kureta Koto (That You Were There for Me). It was directed by Junichi Sato.Under the sea, two mermaid sisters by the name of Marin and Urin are enjoying their life devoting full time to floating. One day, a ring falls from the surface and into Marin's hands. She wants to find the ring's owner and return it, and takes Urin along for the ride. It's then that they run into Kanon Miyamori, a young priestess who's about to get involved in a series of events neither she nor the sisters could've planned for when Urin ends up unleashing Sedna, an evil force intent on shrouding the world in darkness. This is what prompts Marin and Kanon to become the Priestess of the Sea and Sky.Umi Monogatari is unusual among Magical Girl Warrior shows in that the focus is more on emotional development of the characters, the fights are fairly long, the girls' mentor is completely wrong about some things, most of the music is gentle piano music, and the revelation of what the Big Bad really is allows for a conclusion that's more true to life than most shows of this nature.
Tropes in Umi Monogatari include:

Quick Clicks> Icelandic Sculptures, Painted Trees, Carnegie, and Parklets
Thursday, March 24, 2011
Cindy Yewon Chun.
Icelandic Borders. Today at 5PM, "the largest temporary public art exhibition… in New York City Parks history," titled BORDERS, will be unveiled at Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza. The UN-conscious installation is a collaboration between the Parks Commissioner, an Icelandic Ambassador, and Icelandic artist Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir, consisting of 26 androgynous, life-size sculptures.
Painted Trees. Gerry Mak of Lost at E Minor adoringly shares the curious images of the vibrantly painted trees around Colorado by artist Curtis Killorn. Because of the unexpected colorings, these trees do not look like they came from land, but from the sea.
Green Carnegie. We were worried when gbNYC reported that the good ol' Carnegie Hall is planning to undergo a massively ambitious, full-spectrum retrofit this year. But don't worry, the architecture firm Iu + Bibliowicz, which is in charge of all this, swears to preserve "the building's distinctive 19th-century architectural grace notes" while making dramatic green building improvements.
Parking to parkletting. The SF Examiner reports that more temporary public spaces, called
'parklets,' are exploding throughout San Francisco parking spots. The public battle between those who want to park cars and those who want to seat customers out on the sidewalk seems to have a clear winner– the Department of Public Works is stamping out countless approvals for businesses to have their own parklets despite complaints.
Quick Clicks> Frank′s Party, Little Cooper, Gaudi′s Church, and Carnegie Saved
Monday, March 21, 2011
Branden Klayko.
Happy Birthday, Frank! Over the weekend, Frank Gehry celebrated his 82nd birthday on top of New York. New York by Gehry, that is. The penthouse unit on the 76th floor of 8 Spruce Street, Gehry's first skyscraper, was filled with celebrities (think Bono) and starchitects (Robert A.M. Stern and more). Check out a gallery after the jump.
Little House on the Bowery. Fred Bernstein writes for Design Observer about a little brick house at the center of a giant preservation fight along New York's Bowery. The demolition has been stopped for now, but Bernstein argues that the building's real value is in the present, not in its history.
All in the Familia. Oscar Tusquets Blanca writes for Domus about Antoni Gaudí's under construction Segrada Família in Barcelona. Blanca recalls, interspersed with some amazing photography, when he once advocated abandoning the project decades ago but points out how is opinion has changed today.
Carnegie Wrecking Ball. Ephemeral New York reminds us of a one-time plan to raze the famed Carnegie Hall for a bright red skyscraper set behind a sunken plaza. The March 31, 1960 wrecking date was averted at the last minute by the efforts of the Committee to Save Carnegie Hall.

Frankie is thrilled when she learns that the Orson Community Theater is putting on a production of The Wizard of Oz, and that kids don't need to audition to be munchkins as they will be automatically cast - which is a perfect scenario for a hapless Sue. But things quickly go awry when Frankie is cast in a singing role and learns the director is not happy with Sue's performance and may cut her from the play.

My colleague is exploring alternate PC input devise information, as she has a carpal-tunnel-like problem in her wrist and hand, mainly from using a mouse. I've tried a number of sites that have bits and pieces of information, but do you know of any DEFINITIVE sites that discuss, in some depth, EFFECTIVE alternatives - i.e. perhaps trackballs, touch pads, pedals, voice recognition, etc. I gave my colleague a Logitech track ball to try, but she is leaning towards trying/ordering a touch pad that she heard about. Thanks in advance for your help.Received on Thursday, 11 November 1999 09:39:53 GMT

"I don't know, something that would get a first down."
Jebus. Maybe he should have been thinking ahead, actually be engaged with what was going on, talk to McCoy and tell him to win it on that possession.
The various articles discussing this have pointed out that the playoff loss was not the first time last year the Bronco O went into safe mode to close out a game, it had happened several times down the stretch, including a couple times defending an onside kick to close out the game after having a 10-14 point lead in the 4th quarter.
Fox is on the last year of his contract, not getting extended methinks. He's been a good bridge from McD, but now Elway has to make his next big decision - who will be the next HC.
