Newt Gingrich to restore faith in presidency with faith in God Comments
As voters scrutinize Newt Gingrich they are examining the faith of a man who has like many others, had his ups and downs. A convert to Catholicism, Gingrich's views have wide appeal to Catholics, and as he articulates his beliefs, many are taking a new found interest in him. Continue Reading

Judy: Sorry, I should have read it more carefully. When we write something, we have a particular sound in our head of what the comment should sound like but it doesn't always come forth without hearing it. Sometimes it COULD sound sarcastic, but it's not. I was born before WWII. That's why you and I agree on most things. We know what kind of a nation we grew up in. I'm afraid, Judy, that we are not going to see that nation again. During WWII, the country would schedule black-out drills. The drills would turn off all the lights in the whole city to practice what they would do if enemy planes were coming. I remember the whole family would sit out on the front porch during that time to experience it on the outside. It was really eerie. It's like standing out in the middle of a field with nothing else around for miles and it would be pitch black. God bless.

m: Thank you for your opinion. I have never been called a "War Hawk" before. Because I don't agree w/you on Ron Paul? Because I like Rick Santorium. That is interesting. Hummmmmmmm. We both Pray the Rosary. We both are Catholic. A new thought to add to my reflection. Blessings....

JoAnn: Rob FIRST mentioned "war monger" in his post. So, in answering, I was alluding to his post to get his attention. Blessings...

My Dear JoAnn, As far as Bush is concerned, you don't have to worry! Read my post again and see if you don't get ...by my further explanations to Rob, that the war in Iraq was not Bush' fault. As you said, he was given false information. I opened my sentence being facetious to Rob, so he would read further reasoning. Thank you for calling my attention to it. I am sure others thought the same. I was born after WWii.But as a child I do remember the K. years and him wanting to go to D.Land. Daddy of course fought in WWII & was always a Patriot. Always talking politics. Always a learning, and a self-made man. In later years he said, "We always thought we would have to worry about Russia, but it's China we have to look out for". Our son in the Military, was astounded when I told him that. He was amazed at his old grandpa's perception! These kids!,,,, Blessings......

JoAnn, no no, I really meant that it was interesting! I wasn't bored at all. I'll pray for your great-granddaughter and your grandson.

Rob, I feel tears you have for your Dear Leader and my keyboard is soaking wet. In case you weren't paying attention, North Korea's Communist Despot is referred by his serfs as 'Dear Leader'. It is mandatory that all North Koreans call him Dear Leader. No, your Dear Leader, Obama, didn't create the Entitlement system. His and your Marxist Democrat Party did. He just made it worse with his Mickey Mouse Super Majority Congress under Reid and Pelosi. Yes, your Dear Leader is doing his Iranian ally's bidding by prematurely withdrawing our troops when our military generals advised against it. Now, they are vulnerable against Iranian attack or Iranian sponsored insurrection. Currently, Dirty Harry Reid is holding our nation hostage with his senate majority. The House has sent 8 Bi-partisan budget bills to the senate to be 'Pigeon Holed' by Dirty Harry. Dirty Harry hasn't passed a budget since 2008. Right now, your Dear Leader is assaulting the Catholic Church like no other President in the past. Yes, Obama is your Dear Leader not mine. He regards the Catholic Church and the Faithful, which includes me, as his enemy. He is very glad to have 'Useful Idiots', Vladimir Lenin's term, to follow his commands. The Catholic Faithful will need to get off their couches are start fighting for their religion and our freedom. 2012 is a good place to start by voting out the Marxist Democrat Party and electing a Catholic candidate.

Bulbajer: Sorry about boring you with my llttle story. I don't know what made me do that. It was running through my mind and before I knew it, I had typed it out. I should have deleted it. Another thing, I am anxiously awaiting the birth of my first great granddaughter, she's due anytime and my grandson is in Afghanistan. God bless.

Anybody.You want to get tough with Iran , welll first will need the military draft to replace the thousands of men and women that will be killed and lamed and start a crash building program of new VA hospitals for them..Do you really think that Iran that fought with Iraq that attack her (1980s) for years taking hunderds of thousands killed are just going to lay down after we bomb them ?I'am sure millions of Iranians do'nt care for their country's leadership but believe Iran as patriots( yes! people other then Americans feel love of country) should have atomic weapons like India ,Pakistan and Israel .Judy .Sean Hannity was the biggest pusher of the Iraq war ,he made the comment on FoxNews that the U.S army should just make a turn into Syria just days after the Iraq war began.the knucklehead does'nt know what he's talking about. P.S. If there was a draft the U.S. would'nt be fighting anybody soon anywhere when it hits all Americans as any war should that the President is going to send troops anywhere they'll say wait a minute you want to send my son ,grandson ,husband ,lover ,brother . sister now(you fill in what you want)where? to do what?

Judy: Hi! I don't believe that Bush was a war monger. He did have false information when he went into Iraq. I do wish he would have listened to JPII though. Bush did get rid of a genocidal devil and the people were grateful. But it DID open up a can of worms. We have to remember, it WAS Islamic terrorist that STARTED this war not US. And, I believe you could be right that it was a distraction. You and I both know that this history that is taking place was prophecied. What we are going to go through is not going to be pleasant, but we have one happy consolation, we win in the end. I don't know what your age is, but I'm guessing it's not too far behind mine and it's most likely I will not see the glorious consumation, at least not from Earth. You and I also know that God will not let the destruction of Israel take place. Maybe America, since she has turned so far away from Him. I am praying that this is just a form of chastisement that we will have to endure for, who knows, many years and when, I say when, we return to Him, He will stay His hand and give us another chance. I appreciate your support regarding my posts. I hope everyone remembers, I'm an old lady and my bad grandmother habit of preaching just sometimes automatically comes through. If it does sound like I'm preaching, forgive me, old habits are hard to bread. God bless.

vance, what victory are you referring to? Are you under some illusion that Iraq was going to become like hometown, USA? And what part of sovereign country do you not understand? If they want us out, shouldn't we leave? They never wanted us their in the first place. But sure, let's keep borrowing from China to finance a dead end. As we had to fight for our own freedom, Iraq will have to do the same. But it seems odd to me that being such a freedom lover you would propose truely occupying the country against the wishes of their people and government. JoAnn, you do realize that when Obama started he had to deal with a $1.9 trillion dollar deficit right? And the majority of that deficit (similar to today) was war cost, unfunded tax cuts, and unfunded medicare costs (prescription drug benefit). I tink it is absolutely fair to say that Obama has done a terrible job in dealing with the mess he was dealt. No arguements from me on that one. But the problem I think I have with a lot of the criticism is that somehow many of you have put all the problems on him as if he was the sole cause. Obama didn't create our entitlement systems, wasn't in office when they were implemented and wasn't in office when the green light to raid them was given. Obama didn't start our middle east conflicts. Obama didn't push for deregulation of the financial sector. But it's absolutely fair to say that Obama has been a failure of a leader by allowing these mickey mouse politicians to hold our progress hostage. Health care reform was a terrible idea and the timing was all wrong. And sadly because he refuses to exercise any modicum of common sense, allowed the unfunded tax cuts to continue when when every financial statement is bleeding red and we've had years to prove that tax cuts have not lead to job growth. I have never seen the opposition since day one that Obama has had to endure. I think the standard this president has been held to is far more intense than any other president. I don't think that is necessarily bad given the problems our country faces, I just hope if the GOP pulls off a win, that you guys hold them to the same standard. Because very soon it will be someone else's time to deal with these problems. It will be interesting to see if the new guy has the political courage to do what needs to be done. Lastly, vance, unless you moved to another country, he's your dear leader too my friend. In fact, you are the only person that I've ever heard refer to him in that manner. Like I've said many times, I think you probably spend way more time thinking about him that I ever will. I understand why he is so dear to you.

It's series preview time again as the Chicago Cubs head down to Texas to take on the Rangers as they open interleague play. The Cubs were looking for about three days there, so let's hope that wasn't a fluke. A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher Nation:
The idea is to hook you up with the bare minimum of what you need to know about every series this year. That way you can look like a genius, hardcore fan in front of all your friends, with minimum effort. Oh, and there will be pictures of hot chicks, too.
We're Going Streaking
Well, the Cubs actually managed to put something together before losing yesterday to the Phillies. Before that, they'd won four in a row. I'll take it.
The Rangers are the best team in the AL West, with a full four-game lead. They've won four straight, including a sweep of the hapless Orioles. They've also won 10 of their last 11 at home. So, yeah. That's cool.
Game Times and Broadcasts
- Friday, May 21 at 7:05 CT on CSN.
- Saturday, May 22 at 6:10 CT on FOX.
- Sunday, May 23 at 1:05 CT onWGN.
Expected Starters and Lineups
These lineups should be pretty close to reality.
Starters: Ted Lilly (1-3, 4.65), Randy Wells (3-2, 4.13), Carlos Silva (5-0, 3.35)
- Fukudome, CF
- Theriot, 2B
- Lee, 1B
- Byrd, CF
- Ramirez, 3B
- Soriano, LF
- Soto, C
- Castro, SS
- Hmm, DH? Colvin and Nady are the prime candidates. Not sure where they'll hit, though.
Starters: Colby Lewis (3-2, 3.68), Derek Holland (2-0, 2.38), C.J. Wilson (3-1, 2.55)
- Elvis Andrus, SS
- Michael Young, 3B
- Ian Kinsler, 2B
- Vlad Guerrero, DH
- Josh Hamilton, CF
- Nelson Cruz, RF
- Justin Smoak, 1B
- David Murphy, LF
- Matt Treanor, C
Hot or Not and Whom to Watch
Starlin Castro continues to hit. He's got a .375/.434/.500 slash line, with an unbelievably low 5 strikeouts in 48 at bats. For a 20-year-old who was supposed to be bringing his big boy glove and his little boy bat, I continue to be blown away.
The man he bumped over to second base is struggling. Yes, Ryan Theriot is still hitting .310, but it's as empty a .300 average as you'll ever see – he's getting on base at just .339, and he's slugging a pathetic .345.
Marlon Byrd – who continues to hit well – heads to the ballpark where he saw his offensive prowess explode. Let's hope it continues in this series.
Carlos Silva is also doing some blowing. Away, I mean. I'm saying his performance continues to be a pleasant surprise. He is pitching well. A baseball. He is pitching the baseball well. That's all I'm saying.
There are no two ways about it: the Rangers are loaded. There's barely a breather in the lineup, and they're going to score runs. Vlad Guerrero has had a resurgent year – the Rangers got him on the cheap – and he leads the team in the triple crown categories. But he ain't alone – Cruz, Andrus, Kinsler, and Young are all raking in their own right.
The Cubs also face two of the Rangers' best starters in Holland and Wilson, and Lewis hasn't been a slouch either. Holland has only started twice, however, so it's possible the Cubs can get to him. Lewis was pitching in Japan last year, so maybe there's a chance there, too.
Series She-View
And now the best part of the preview: if the teams were represented by beautiful women, who would they be, and what would the match up look like. I thought long and hard about whether I should change things up this year, and offer a different representative for the Cubs this year, after a 2009 full of Marisa Miller. But then I realized Marisa Miller is still smoking hot.
So, given the fact that she's thrown out the first pitch, sung the Seventh Inning Stretch, probably likes the Cubs, and – like the Cubs – is still hot, just one year older, I've chosen to stick with supermodel Marisa Miller. You're welcome.
For the Texas Rangers, we've got to go with a beautiful woman from Texas, right? Well, how about a beautiful woman from the neighboring state of Oklahoma?
Look, there's no baseball team in Oklahoma, so if I want to include a certain lovely woman in the Series She-View, it's now or never.
The lovely Oklahoman? The hottest nerd ever: Olivia Munn.
Olivia Munn is the sexy host of G4's Attack of the Show, and today, she's a Texas Ranger. As always, if it doesn't make sense to you, take it up with the complaint department. How about a strategically placed arm match-up, where the women are topless, but you can't really say they're topless because they're covered up? Score one for family values!

Beginner's Guide to iPod, Part II: Five Steps to Using Your iPod
Easy is the key word in that sentence: using the iPod's screen-and-wheel interface and Apple's free iTunes (music importing, organizing and downloading) software, the average person can quickly transform a mountain of CDs into an iPod playing perfectly sorted, great sounding music, feats that only tech-savvy users could perform only two or three years ago.
This Part II of our Beginner's Guide to iPod has a simple goal: give new and prospective users a quick run through the most common issues involved in setting up and using their iPods. If you need deeper help on any of these issues, use the Help button at the top of every iLounge page for detailed guides. Between this rough outline and the iLounge discussion forums, FAQs and links, you'll hopefully have everything you need at your fingertips, and be ready to hit the ground running.

Part II: Five Steps to Using Your iPod (June 8, 2004)
Step 1: Understand What's in the Box - and What's Not
Every iPod box includes five items that are more important than the rest: the iPod, a pair of earphones, at least one white cable, a white plastic power supply, and a software CD that works on PCs and Macintoshes.
The iPod is a self-contained music playback device, and except for headphones, you won't need to carry anything else around when you're using it. Unlike a Walkman, there are no AA batteries to worry about - the iPod contains a rechargeable battery, and you recharge it by connecting it to the aforementioned white cable and power supply. Even better, you won't need to carry CDs, tapes or other musical media with you: with the help of your computer, the iPod will transport your entire library of CDs onto its portable hard disk.
There's only one item that the typical iPod buyer will need yet won't find in the iPod's box: a USB cable. You can skip to the next step in this Guide if you purchased an iPod mini, or are using either a recent Macintosh computer or a PC that you know is compatible with "FireWire" cables. If not, either you (or a tech-savvy friend) should read the following for an extra purchase you'll probably need to make.
USB stands for "Universal Serial Bus," and because the USB cable standard has in fact become universal, virtually every desktop computer currently manufactured includes one or two USB ports. Almost every peripheral device manufactured for PCs uses USB cables.
FireWire is a cable standard preferred by Apple, and a FireWire cable is included in every iPod box as the "white cable" described above. Unfortunately, Firewire is far less common on PC desktop machines than on laptops and Macintoshes. Unless your computer's manual says you have a FireWire port (or you already knew to purchase an add-on), you don't.
Bowing to market pressure, Apple eventually made the iPod compatible with USB-equipped computers, and now sells separately a combined "iPod USB 2.0 + FireWire Cable" ($19) that contains a plug that typical PC users will prefer. Global Source also sells a fully compatible, retractable USB cable ($15.99), which might be a good alternative investment, and useful for travel purposes. These aren't standard USB cables you might already have around the house. One side uses a proprietary flat Apple connector to attach to the iPod, and the other side has a USB plug.
Apple's official iPod USB 2.0 + FireWire Cable. |
Thankfully, you won't need to buy anything extra if you buy the iPod mini. It includes separate USB and FireWire cables in the box, and future iPods will most likely do the same.
There's only one other problem. Most computers have older, slower USB ports rather than newer, faster USB 2.0 ports. Worse yet, typical PC users won't be able to tell the difference between a computer with USB 2.0 ports and USB 1 ports, because they look identical to one another. The somewhat good news is that any iPod and USB 2.0 cables will work if you plug them into an older USB 1 port, but music transfers will be slow. Really slow. The good news is that you'll generally only have to suffer once or twice to fill your iPod.
If slow speeds don't bother you, skip now to step 2. If you know you have a USB 2.0 port on your computer and have purchased the optional Apple/Global Source cables, skip to step 2. But if you want a fast, reliable FireWire option for your PC, Belkin makes a FireWire 3-Port card for desktop PCs (MSRP $59, commonly sold for $34.99 or less) that you can install quickly and with tremendous benefit. We strongly recommend Belkin's solution over cheaper alternatives, since too many super-cheap FireWire cards create installation and compatibility problems for their owners.
Step 2: Preparing Your Computer to Connect to the iPod
Connecting the iPod to your computer is a simple process - if you follow the directions. Resist the temptation to prepare your computer in advance by downloading iPod drivers/updates and iTunes from Apple's web site. Instead, begin the process by inserting the iPod software CD into your computer, then follow the directions to install the iPod software. Drivers and tools will be installed on your computer, as will be iTunes. Though they may not be the newest versions of these applications, they're guaranteed to work right out of the box. Update them with Internet downloads later, once you've established that everything's working.
Once you've followed all the directions to complete the software installation, you can physically connect your iPod to your computer. PCs may require a Restart before plugging anything in, and we strongly recommend that you strictly follow the directions, particularly Restart and any "Don't Disconnect the iPod" instructions, to a T. Failure to do so can cause unexpected computer and iPod problems that will take longer to fix than just doing things properly in the first place.
When it's time to make the connection, if you have a FireWire port on your computer, use the white FireWire cable. If you have a USB port on your computer, you'll use either of the optional USB 2.0 cables described above, or the standalone USB cable included with the iPod mini.
To make the physical connection, you plug the long, flat end of the cable into your iPod's bottom "Dock Connector" port, and the other end into your computer. Within seconds, your computer will recognize that the iPod's plugged in, and give you additional directions on how to prepare it for its first use.
An iPod will automatically recharge its battery when connected with a FireWire cable to a desktop computer or Macintosh laptop, and the iPod mini can even recharge its battery when connected to a USB 2.0 port. You'll know if your battery is charging because a battery icon will appear in the upper right-hand corner of the iPod's screen, and show movement to indicate recharging activity. Be aware that if your iPod isn't charging when connected to your computer, the connection will aggressively drain its rechargeable battery.
When the battery icon is low, and whenever you want to disconnect the iPod from your computer, make sure to follow Apple's directions for safely disconnecting the iPod from your PC or Mac. You can typically "Eject" the iPod by either using iTunes or selecting the iPod icon on your computer's desktop. On a Mac, dropping the iPod in the trash can (which becomes an eject icon) will let you safely disconnect. On a PC, you can always right-click the "Safely Disconnect Hardware" icon in the bottom right corner of the screen to disconnect your iPod.
Step 3: Transferring Your Old Music to the iPod
Every iPod's software CD includes iTunes, an easy to use program that looks the same on PCs and Macs. iTunes makes it easy to convert all of your CDs into individual digital song files that will be stored on the iPod. Load iTunes and pop a CD into your computer. The program will show you a collection of unnamed tracks, which you can name yourself or automatically. To auto-identify your CD tracks, connect to the Internet, then choose "Get CD Track Names" from the Advanced menu at the top of the screen.

Next, you'll select all of the tracks you want to copy (using the Alt key on PCs and the Apple/propeller key on Macs to pick individual tracks), and drag them into one of two locations in the iTunes window. The left side of the window shows one location called Library and another location named iPod, iPod mini, or whatever you've named the device.
When you drag the music from your CD, you can either drop the tracks onto your computer ("Library") or directly onto your iPod. We recommend that you move tracks from CDs into your Library first, and transfer them to your iPod later. But you can go directly from CD to iPod if you prefer. In either case, it will take minutes (perhaps longer, depending on your computer) to convert the CD tracks into digital files.
If you've dropped the tracks into your Library, clicking on the left hand word Library will open the Library so that you can see what's inside. Each time you insert a CD, it will appear in the list of left-hand links, and you just repeat the process above to add more of your CDs to your computer's digital library. Once you're done converting all of your CDs to digital files - a process that may take a full afternoon and evening - you can either fine tune your collection's names and genres within the computer's library, or immediately transfer everything over to the iPod.
What about audio cassette tapes, vinyl records, and other types of recordings? These sorts of transfers are more difficult to do on your own, but companies will do the transfers for you for a fee. A full list of service companies is available at dmoz.org.
Step 4: Buying New Music and Audio Books for the iPod
Adding new music to the iPod is as simple as either buying new CDs and repeating the above process, or purchasing music online through Apple's iTunes Music Store (iTMS). iTMS is integrated directly into iTunes, and appears as a "Music Store" link on the left hand bar. Connect to the Internet and click on the link to make the Music Store open. A search window at the top right of the iTunes window will help you find anything you might want to purchase, and once you find something you think you'll like, you can hear a 30-second preview by clicking on it twice.
Under the heading "Price," you'll see a $0.99 cent listing and a button to "Buy Song" (or "Add Song" if you set the program up to use a shopping cart instead of instant purchasing). Once you click on the Buy Song button, iTunes will help you set up an account to purchase music if you haven't already done so, and will download the file to your computer's Library. On an older computer connection, this could take a few minutes; on a newer one, a few seconds. Once the file has been downloaded, you can transfer it to your iPod from the Library just as discussed above.
Alternately, you can purchase entire albums (typically $9.99), or use the shopping cart to accumulate all the tracks you want to buy before downloading them at once. The files will always wind up in your Library rather than directly on your iPod, just so that the chance of "losing" the music you downloaded (by accidentally erasing the iPod) is decreased. iTunes has built-in software that lets you burn your downloaded songs onto CDs, but you won't really care so much about doing that once you have an iPod.
If you're interested in listening to audio books, magazines, newspapers or pre-recorded radio shows with your iPod, a company called Audible has enjoyed great success in providing them via an online download service. Individual books are available at discounts off of their standard retail prices, and a monthly subscription-based service entitles subscribers to receive one book and one magazine per month, or two books per month at a fixed price. The iPod is entirely compatible with Audible's service, and Audible even offers paid subscribers a $100 discount off the purchase of an iPod. Additional details are available at Audible.com.
Step 5: Using Your iPod's Menus and Controls
The genius of the iPod is in its easy-to-use menus and controls. After choosing the language for your menus, the iPod presents you with a customizable main menu with two key options: "Browse" and "Settings." You sweep your finger in circular motions across the iPod's wheel to move up and down through the menu choices, and tap the button in the center of the wheel to select a menu choice and "go forward." Pressing the "Menu" button brings you back to the last screen you were on, the equivalent of a "reverse" button.
Use the wheel and center button to select "Browse." You'll see a list of five choices: "Artists, Albums, Songs, Genres, Composers." Select any of these categories with the center button and you'll see that the iPod has organized your music automatically, alphabetically, and by the type of list you selected. If you have the iPod sort by Album name, for example, you'll instantly see a list of your albums in alphabetical order. Pick an album with the center button and you'll see a list of songs. Clicking on any song with the center button will start the song playing. If you haven't connected your headphones, plug them in and listen - you'll be impressed. It's so simple, and it sounds great even though you've shrunk all those CDs into something so tiny.

When you've selected a song and it's playing, you're looking at the "Now Playing" screen. On that screen, you'll see the song's title and artist (on an iPod mini), and also the album's name if you're using a full-sized iPod. During playback, the iPod's controls now allow you to skip forward and back between tracks using the buttons marked |<< (back) and >>| (forward). You can pause the song with the button marked > ||. Resuming a paused song uses the same > || button, which stands for Play / Pause.
But more importantly, you can also adjust volume, easily change your current place in the track, and even rate the song for future reference. Volume is adjusted by sweeping your finger up or down across the wheel. Hit the center button once and a timeline will appear at the bottom of the screen. Sweep your finger up or down to move smoothly from the beginning to the middle to the end of the track. Do nothing and the volume control will reappear. Then, hit the center button twice and you'll see five dots - move your finger up or down on the wheel to make 0-5 stars appear as a rating for the song. You can organize songs to play in order of ranking, too.
If you press the Menu button four or five times, you'll return to the iPod's "main menu," where you should select the other important option: "Settings." From this menu, you can completely customize the list of choices in the "main menu" by selecting that option, then picking "on" or "off" for each of the listings. We prefer to turn "Browse" off and turn "Artists," "Albums," "Songs" and "Genres" on, so that all of our favorite choices are on the main menu instead of hidden in the "Browse" menu we described above.
The Settings menu also allows you to adjust the iPod's playback options, such as whether to use Shuffled (randomized) playback, whether to use an equalizer (EQ) to boost bass, treble and mid-range audio, and whether to use "Sound Check" to automatically fix the volume of your songs to prevent sudden changes up or down. You can also set the backlight timer, screen contrast, clicker sound, and date and time in Settings.
Press the menu button several times and you'll come back to the main screen. There are plenty of other features to explore, including a few cute games, a simple text reader, and much more.
And of course, turning off the iPod is as simple as holding down the Play / Pause button for two seconds. But why would you ever want to turn off your new iPod?

Ofcourse I would be lying if I said the PSP is better than the iPod. This article clearly shows what we want in all of our portable devices during the 21st century. That is we want it to be compact and sleek in design, which are distinct qualities as pointed out by the ipod. Now ladies and gentlemen Boyz and Girls is you take the PSP with its usless colour screen and faulty ports with a complicated design that cannot be translates by anyone born after 1985 the ipod seems to be the overall better choice. I suggest the PSP is usless and the iPod ROCKZ!!!!!

One small piece of critique: It might be nice to come directly out and say that you can sync your full-sized iPod with a USB cable, but it won't take a charge through it. I know it's specifically stated that the mini WILL, and it's a big difference between the two for those of us with no firewire port and no way to add them effectively.
Otherwise this series is shaping up quite nicely!

Hi.. great article a good follow up to part one.
I can't wait for my ipod to come, i am now ready for the "basics" and in a few days might be able to read Part IV and understand it completely.
One Small point though… what is this "Fire Wire" you talk of?

Dick large…firewire is an Apple peripheral interface similar to the USB ports that all PCs feature. It's the default interface opinion that the iPod comes with.
One point I wanted to make, and thank you for personally addressing my last post Jeremy, is that there is a positive solution to using the USB cable. It's something one of my co-workers pointed out to me, and I feel stupid for not seeing it before. If someone here who has a USB cable could try this, I'd be interested to know if it works. Plug the USB cable into the computer, and plug the firewire cable into the charger….see if that enables the iPod to charge while interfacing with your PC. If so, then I guess using USB with the iPod wouldn't be such a bad idea. Firewire is still better though
Posted by AJ on June 8, 2004 at 1:15 PM (CDT)
AJ, that method has already been tested long ago by many members of iPodlounge. It works, so yes, using USB isn't that bad of a method either, except for the fact that you must buy the USB cables.
Posted by DarkJC on June 8, 2004 at 1:54 PM (CDT)
Well, the point is that if you have only USB on your computer, you can not just obtain a USB-to-Dock cable and expect it to charge and sync your full sized 3G iPod. You have to buy the additional cable, which works fine, but does require an outlet. It's inelegant.
Posted by Prudence in Somerville, MA on June 8, 2004 at 8:05 PM (CDT)
Sorry…. i meant how does firewire work… my PC has ilink… are these the same things?
Posted by Dick Large on June 9, 2004 at 12:39 PM (CDT)
fire wire is faster but dosnt charge as quick as the USB but when it says its charged you have to take it off and start it all again

Is there a way to share i tunes with another ipod?
Posted by AJ on June 10, 2004 at 8:08 PM (CDT)
Nice Article, especially since I just bought an iPod after all these years of lusting.
I have one basic question that may have been asked before:
If I buy a Firewire card for my laptop, will the connection Sync and charge? Do I still need that clumsy docking plugged into the wall socket?

My itunes will not recognize my 3g 40gb ipod i got thursday 6/8. Tried reloading all software and upgraded to itunes 4.6 and still no dice. I know the firework is working cause I can undock it from my pc system tray, windows 2kpro. i'm stumped.
Posted by Terry Gower on June 14, 2004 at 12:10 PM (CDT)
I have downloaded tons of tunes from imesh and was able to bring into itunes by going to the "add file" menu and selected the folders I wanted. Bad thing is itunes rearranged all my music folders and took out any files that did have ID information and placed them in "unkown artist" folder, so i have to reassign each of those files a new aritist name and album name if i know it, or just "unknown".

If I purchase a Belkin FireWire PC card, would I still need to buy a FireWire cable to connect the 15gb ipod with the Belkin PC card?
What is the advantage of having a firewire pc card versus connecting the ipod to the computer directly with a FireWire cable?
Posted by rh on June 14, 2004 at 6:14 PM (CDT)
a stupid question.
ok i live in japan. i recently bought ipod.
i can barely speak japanese soo.. even when the woman expplained to me, i can understand less than half.
first, she asked me what computer im using. well, idont have computer with me in japan, but in my country, windows is generally used. so i say windows. i do have the intention to buy mac computer, but intentions are just intentions without money. anyway, i thought it just had something to do with the ports, but when i tried using my classmates computer - who is using mac- the music transfer doesnt seem to work. is it because its windows configured? and if its windows configured its only exclusively for windows? or it just taking long?
and do i have to buy usb
Posted by trish on June 14, 2004 at 11:20 PM (CDT)
Rh: Every iPod comes with a FireWire cable, so you shouldn't need another cable if you buy the Belkin card.
You don't need the FireWire PC card unless your computer lacks a FireWire port.
Trish: The iPod is formatted for one computer or the other. However, if you format the iPod for Mac use and use the programs Ephpod and Macopener, you can get around this. See http://www.ephpod.com/download.shtml for the software. You don't have to buy USB unless the computer you eventually buy requires it.

I heard that iTunes requires at least Windows 2000. Does it work on 98SE? CAn you store data on the iPod and take it off later? DO you need iTunes for that?

Actually, firewire is NOT faster than USB 2.0, although most people happen to think so….. USB 2.0 is faster than firewire.
Posted by C. Salinger on June 16, 2004 at 1:49 PM (CDT)
I just ordered a ipod and was wondering if i only have a 2.0 USB port on my computer can i still use the programs and get the music to the ipod or doi have to buy the USB cord before i can do anything somebody please respond to this ASAP!
Posted by Miles on June 16, 2004 at 10:11 PM (CDT)
Miles: the answer is no you can't. You will need to purchase the USB 2.0. You can get one from (http://store.apple.com) and click on the iPod accessories, it's $19.00. Or you can get one from any store that sells iPod accessories.

The specs indicate that the 15gb comes with a firewire adapter? What is this?
I don't have a firewire option on my PC, so I'll still need to buy the USB cable right?
Why are some people here saying firewire is better??
Posted by girl_a on June 17, 2004 at 2:24 AM (CDT)
HEY ALL!! FINNAALLLYY!!!! my baby will be comming soon!! i have the (almost exact) same problem as Trish. i live in Japan, very limited Japanese, plan to be using WINDOWS..possibly without firewire (i had a little poke around in the back..lol) and im getting the 20GB. I dont know if i have USB 2 or not..i have two ports out the front of my computer, and i cant exactly read the instruction manual to check. so, do i try and work out this firewire doodad? or wait until January, when i go back home? Anything else i might have forgetten? im pretty much just going into the store..and handing the guy my order form…I've only been able to research all this on the net. So anything else i might need while im there would be handy :). THANKS ALOT!!
Posted by Christian on June 17, 2004 at 6:37 AM (CDT)
girl_a: The adapter (which is a 6 pin to 4 firewire adapter) allows you to plug the iPod into a computer (like a laptop) that does not have a 6 pin port. The small end plugs in to the 4pin port and the larger end you plug the cable into and the other end of the cable plugs into the iPod or back of the dock.
2-Yes you will need to purchase the USB 2.0 cable to use the iPod on your computer.
3-Firewire comes with the iPod for one thing and no other cables are needed. Second, the 6 pin firewire port charges the iPod while it's plugged into the computer. The 4 pin (smaller port) does not charge the iPod. So it will drain the iPod while you are sync'ing it to your computer. Third, Most people, but not all, have faired better with connecting the iPod to their computer with firewire than USB 2.0. But the 2.0 does work.
Posted by honeybee1236 on June 17, 2004 at 2:09 PM (CDT)
Firewire 400 transfers at about 400 Mbps and USB 2.0 transfer at about 480 Mbps and firewire 800 transfers at about 800 Mbps.

"firewire is NOT faster than USB 2.0, although most people happen to think so….. USB 2.0 is faster than firewire."
Spoken like someone who has never actually TESTED both FW400 and USB2 with the same devices.
I have, and let me tell you that FW400 in almost every real-world case:
has less latency than USB2
has greater throughput than USB2
consumes less CPU
The advantages in results for FW400 versus USB2 only increase as more devices are added to the bus and device contention increases. This is mainly because FW400 can do parallel block frame transfers while USB is a blocking protocol.
Posted by Yawn on June 17, 2004 at 5:42 PM (CDT)
okay, i get it. sorta. but isnt it possible to useUSB and STILL charge the iPod via AC adapter? i havnt actually got mine yet (pick it up this sunday!!!!) but i remember reading it somewhere??..or is that just wishfull thinking? whats the difference between USB2 and..not…USB 2….???..lol…is there anyway to tell without reading instruction manuals? thanks!

I'm a little bit confused. I just picked up a new ipod today and I'm so happy! But I've been trying to upload various songs from different computers.. Is there a way to just add one song without deleting everything on it..? That is to say if I no longer had some of the music in my library or on my computer and I still wanted to upload a few more song onto the ipod without deleting any.. or.. Am I just not making any sense? ^_^;;
Posted by Fuu on June 19, 2004 at 1:22 AM (CDT)
so i live in Britain, I have a PC, not a mac, I'm guessing I don't have this Firewire and I don't have a USB 2.0 port…..
is it actually worth getting an ipod? what do I need to buy aswell???! thanks…..
Posted by Luke on June 19, 2004 at 6:40 AM (CDT)
A very good article to introduce me to the world of iPod but i still have a few questions about music transferring. When transferring directly to the iPod, as i am using a shared pc to put my files on, can you place the entire album on rather than doing it just track by track? Also, does it stil automatically sort all the track and album names into order? Cheers

erm, call me stupid, but nowhere can I find out about how track names appear on the library or ipod. I've just started loading CD's & I'm told you can get all the info from websites that recognise your files/songs in the library and put all the info in there for you. Is this true or do I just have to sit there & type everything?

My ipod just arrived a few days ago… but the battery seems to need recharging every day, though I'm actually using it only 1-2 hours each day. In the evening, I turn it off and slip the hold switch to "hold", but in the morning, when I "unhold", I immediately see my playlists. It appears the ipod is not shutting down. I have tried "reset" but the ipod still seems to be up and ready each morning, but the battery is depleted. Any thoughts?
Posted by Don on July 5, 2004 at 7:48 AM (CDT)
I use iTunes on my computer at home and at work, but for some reason I cannot transfer the music I purchase at work from my library to my iPod. The work computer is "authorized" and I can play the songs all I want - on the computer - but if I attempt to drag the file to my iPod, it won't go.
What do I need to do?

I just bought an external CD Drive/Writer yesterday and learned the hard way that I did *not* have a USB 2.0 port and the CD copying is *considerably* slower than I expected it to be. Luckily enough I hadn't purchased an iPod then and have now come across this excellent article. What I would like to know is how fast do songs transfer when connected to USB 1.1.? Are we still talking seconds or already minutes here? Can't seem to find that info anywhere on the net.

Sorry to let you down but i'm not sure.
Posted by White_Magic on July 13, 2004 at 1:49 PM (CDT)
Hey i can't remember the sire but it has it. The USB1.1 is a little slower than firewire. The difference is about the same as the difference between USB2.0 and firwire. Do i still have you or are you lost it's complicated sorry i'm not that good at explaning things.
Posted by White_Magic on July 13, 2004 at 8:31 PM (CDT)
In the article it talks only about using iTunes to get songs on your iPod. What if i was to use another music downloading program, can the files i download from this be transferred onto the iPod? I'm not too keen with iTunes and don't really want to set it up.

Have you found the "On the Go" playlist included in the latest version of iPod software yet???
I got my 4G 40GB iPod just a few weeks ago, in preparation for a week of vacation with my parents.
I was pretty disappointed there was no apparent way to program my new $400+ toy.
After spending most of the day yesterday looking at the various articles about the device, and thinking someone must have added an applet or something, I was just as sad as when I started.
Then last night, as I was playing with it, noticed a playlist called "On the Go" that was not something I created. I clicked on it.
A screen informed me that I could add songs, albums or artists to this playlist from my music stored on the iPod just by holding the button in the middle of the clickwheel down until the song, artist or album blinked. Sure enough it works like a charm. It also gives you options to clear the list or save it. And if you synchronize back to iTunes, it automatically saves it as a playlist, with the title "On the Go - 1" (or 2, 3, etc., I assume. I just did it once.)
It's an awesome feature… and obviously one that Apple doesn't know they should be hyper marketing to all of us. But, then, they never have been able to write instructions on how to use anything, have they?
Forgive me if everybody already knew about this. I'm just a newbie in paradise.
And then, I did a sychronizer

Maybe someone here can help clear this up for? Whenever I import a DJ mixed album into itunes, when i play it back for some reason a gap of about 1 second appears between each track. Why? Am I doing something wrong?
With most CD's this is not a problem but when tracks are supposed to be mixed together it kinda ruins the whole show. And that itunes crossfade playback is not the answer i'm looking for either.
Thank you

re: "firewire is NOT faster than USB 2.0, although most people happen to think so….. USB 2.0 is faster than firewire."
firewire is actually faster than usb because firewire has a constant transfer rate which is at 400mbps. Usb on the other hand has a variable trans rate and the specified 480mbps is the burst rate which is the max, usb uses more cpu power and depends on your pc. i have a ipod 3g 15gb which only includes a firewire cord…i chose to get the firewire pci card which is so reliable..also 3g ipods cant charge from usb

It's Sabroso Saturday (Translation: Tasty Saturday)! The day when we share recipes that have helped us stretch our budget, our imagination and our taste buds, without sacrificing our health!
This week I am noting a Puerto Rican dish called Amarillo Relleno. It is made with an amarillo, sometimes called a madura. In English an Amarillo Relleno is a sweet ripened plantain that is filled with meat and topped with cheese.
My Madrina / Godmother would make this very simple entree with another Puerto Rican staple: arroz con gandules / rice and peas (recipe to come). It's delicious! The sweetness of the banana is a sharp contrast to the meat filling.
*Photos to come
Amarillo Relleno
- 2 medium to large sweet plaintains
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 cup of oil
- 8 oz of shredded mozerella cheese (app. 2 cups)
- 1/2 a small onion, diced
- 1/2 cup diced green or red bell pepper
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 2 tsps. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- 1 envelope of Sazón with achiote
- 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
Preparation of Meat
- Brown the ground turkey in a small pan with water.
- Add onion, bell pepper, oregano, garlic, salt, pepper, Sazón with achiote, and tomato sauce.
- Cover pan and continue boiling on medium flame for approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Uncover pan. Continue to boil the meat for another 15 minutes or until cooked.
Preparation of Maduro (Sweet Ripened Plaintain)
- Cut ends of plaintain off. Slice skin/outer layer horizontally. Peel off skin/outer layer.
- Preheat oil in frying pan.
- Once heated place entire plaintain in oil.
- Fry each plaintain until golden on all sides.
- Remove from pan. Place plaintains on paper towel to blot oil.
Preparation of Maduro Relleno
- Slice cooked plaintain horizontally. Open plaintain, without tearing, to accomadate meat.
- Stuff meat in the opening, filling the plaintain halfway.
- Put shredded cheese on top of the meat.
- Repeat step 2 & 3 until you reach top of plaintain.
- Place stuffed plaintain on a baking pan.
- Bake on 350-375 until cheese melts and serve!
You can eat Maduro Relleno (Stuffed sweet plaintain) with a salad or for an authentic Puerto Rican meal serve it with Arroz con gandules /rice and peas and salad.
- This is a very rich and filling entree. I normally serve one entire Maduro Relleno per person with salad. However, if you slice the maduro relleno in half and serve with rice you can serve 4.
- You can substitute beans for the meat if you want to make this a vegan dish!

Bank Of America's 'Why Stop There?' Cloud Strategy
Why do we need different boxes for servers, storage, and network switches in the datacenter? They're all just computers, says David Reilly, who is the global technology infrastructure executive for Bank of America. Why can't companies fill their datacenters with white-box computers stuffed with x86 chips and a ton of memory, controlled by software that can make that box an in-memory storage device today, a software-defined switch tomorrow, and a server next week?
This radical departure from today's datacenter approach isn't just idle salon chatter. Bank of America, this country's second-largest bank with about $2.1 trillion in assets, has a team of people right now exploring how to reinvent the bank's datacenters using a private cloud architecture.
The hardest part of getting to this kind of total reset of the datacenter, Reilly says, is persuading technologists to throw out their old ways of doing things and think more ambitiously. It's why Bank of America has created a separate team to develop the company's next-generation architecture, so team members could consider big ideas such as having only one type of hardware. "It's not the technical piece. It's: Why stop there, why not go further, why not do more?" Reilly says.

Regardless of what the origins of Richard II are or which works Shakespeare was inspired by, I don't believe that Richard II can be compared to anything else. Shakespeare was a very unique writer when it came to the use of language. None of his contemporaries could write like him. For example, he uses a lot of metaphors and similies in his works. And Richard II is completely written in verse, meaning that most of the couplets rhyme. And the language varies a little bit among the different characters expressing the differences in their personalities.
There might have been many literary works done on Richard II before Shakespeare's play, but none of them can compare to it in terms of eloquence.

Employment figures offer hope for student-workers
Thursday, June 19, 2014
This week, local high school seniors are pouring out of area high schools in their hundreds, and before many of them head off to colleges in the fall, and plunge themselves into years of debt, they will be looking around for summer employment.
Traditionally, such summer jobs have been a mainstay for working class and middle class families, and while, as our graph shows, such work didn't disappear during the tough years of 2009 to 2012, the competition for those jobs was intense. It included all those people — over 30,000 at the nadir — who had lost their regular jobs.
Some years back, there was federal money available which allowed local government entities to hire students to do public service projects over the summer. While some useful tasks were undoubtedly accomplished, there were other instances where young people did not get a disciplined introduction into the world of work. In fact, we heard the word "boondoggle" mentioned once or twice, back then. After a few years, the federal money dried up, and we have not heard any great clamor for the reestablishment of such job creation programs.

The gym has the following equipment available for checkout: markers (guns), facemasks, and reballs available. There is no extra charge for the equipment, although if you break it while using it, you will pay for it.
Other equipment we suggest but do not provide is: long pants, long sleeve shirt, or hoodie. Anything that will cover your body.
Because the arena is indoors we do not use the paintballs that burst with paint. We use reballs, they offer a mess free environment that parents love and saves money on cleaning paint off your bunkers and field. They are basically reusable paintballs without the paint.

Thank you to all who came out to our New York and regional auditions! Prospective students will receive word of final decisions from the Admissions Office throughout March and April. We know that you are working hard to decide which university to attend in the fall. To help you in your decision making, you should know that the Fordham Theatre Program is a nationally ranked B.A. that utilizes a hybrid of liberal arts studies with conservatory practices, during its four years of training. Through this unique model, we find that our students graduate as well-rounded forward-thinking artistic practitioners. Please learn more about our process.
2014-2015 Mainstage Season
"A Season of Imagining Post-War"
Download 11 x 17 poster and view more information on shows and events.
The 2014-2015 Fordham Theatre Mainstage season, A Season of Imagining Post-War, explores what happens once the war is over. Each of the four mainstage plays focuses on the theme of family, and the effects of war on both the members that went to battle, and those that stayed behind. In addition, all of the plays ask these questions: "Can we imagine life after war, and if so, do we have what it takes to get there?" As Matthew Maguire, the Fordham Theatre Program Director mused: "The U.S. has been at war since 1776 - there have been 21 years of peace, and 214 years of war. Apparently, we Americans are a warlike people."
Please join us for the final mainstage presentation of the season: Agamemnon by Aeschylus, translated by Anne Carson.

One of my favorite prints by Nikki McClure
Do you ever have to remind yourself to take a deep breath?
Me too.
This first week has been as good as can be expected. I'm not crazy about being away from the boys 40+ hours but we had lots of help from my in-laws so that was wonderful. The sudden transition back to my desk has proven my theory that work does ruin my shoulders and neck and makes me much more tired than if I stayed home with the kiddos all day. Blurg. I guess this just means I get to savor the weekends a little more. It was only Wednesday when I was already looking forward to Saturday morning cartoons with Sky, cuddled up on the couch with coffee in our jammies.
I hope we'll find our groove soon and there will be a few more minutes to blog. I'm contemplating taking a bloggy break next week. It's the last week of August…don't most people go on vacation anyway?
We shall see.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Art History Survey Collection
The Art History Survey Collection, which contains nearly 5000 images, is the product of a collaboration between the Digital Library Federation's Academic Image Cooperative project and the College Art Association. This "survey collection" has been defined on the basis of an "overlap concordance" based on 13 standard art history survey texts, some consulted in multiple editions (please see Textbook Concordance below). It is intended to include at least one image of every art object or monument reproduced in at least two of these standard survey texts. The Art History Survey Collection represents an experiment in defining a "consensus collection" that supports widespread teaching needs, but does not yoke the teacher or student to any one particular text, pedagogical approach, or "canon." Images in this collection are based on professionally produced 35mm–color photography, much of it original photography produced from the object or monument. A significant portion of the images were also derived from high-quality reproductions of the scholarly literature. This collection will be of particular value to teachers of art history who wish to enlist digital technologies in support of survey instruction; to teachers without ready access to conventional slide libraries and other visual resources collections; and to all individuals wishing to gain a broad appreciation of the world's visual heritage.

TODAY | April 16, 2010
>> and that's your latest weather.
>>> diamonds may and girl's best friend but sapphires and rubies ain't so bad, either. we have some of the world 's rarest and extensive jules. lisa hubbard is with sotheby 's. lisa , good morning. we donned a few of your jules.
>> i always tell everybody jewelry 's meant to be worn. i'm glad to see all three of you look great.
>> what is so special about this collection?
>> it is a combination of wonderful gemstones like the necklace, 100 carats of vivid yellow diamonds.
>> what makes that so special, being vivid?
>> it is the ultimate grading of the intensity of color . and to be able to find 100 carats that match this way is indeed a very rare thing. i think it is the first necklace of vivid yellow diamonds to come up for sale at auction. this is valued at $2 million to $3 million .
>> move on to natalie 's bracelet.
>> this is tiffany & company , circa 1925 . it is a reminder of really the grandeur of the art deco period. to find a line of emeralds so well matched in color , simply alternating with diamonds, is simple and simple is the hardest to do. so this is actually the second time this has come up at auction. it came up in 1985 . it was part of the estate of annie aiken, sonny von bulow 's mother .
>> the estimate is $200,000 to $300,000.
>> this belonged to marlene dietrich .
>> circa 1930 . it was given to her by her director in the " blue angel " which was the movie that made her a star. there she is wearing it. it was reputed to be one of her most favorite jewels. " shanghai express " as well. exactly.
>> this is a very expensive piece.
>> this actually is next to the vivid yellow diamond necklace, the most expensive piece in this group zblpg and why?
>> it is a rare burmese ruby. and it is reputed to be that pigeon blood color that you try to attain. perfect harmony between pink and red. wonderful crystal. and it weighs 8.66 carats. as a gemstone, it is very special but also it was once upon a time in the collection of isabella stewart gardner of boston . she was avant garde and a free spirit in her time and she loves rubies. so this is one that she wore.
>> look at ann 's earrings.
>> ann 's earrings.
>> sparkle, sparkle.
>> i'll tell you, it brightens up your day. and these are part of the jewelry collection of patricia klug that we are selling.
>> this is a white diamond .
>> this is the white diamond . it is also the balance between the 8 and 9 carats on the top, the 11 and 13 carats on the bottom. $600,000 to $800,000.
>> if you can keep your head up.
>> she had beautiful jewelry .
>> the thing about this auction, you are letting people, like we are now, try them on and you're letting people touch them.
>> you bet.
>> sotheby 's, public exhibition, public auction. you can all come and bid on these.
>> i'm wondering how many of those guys over there would like to try these on.
>> don't get any ideas , ann .
>> you have to come to our place at sotheby 's. there we have lots of people to make sure you're safe and you can try everything on. this is also in the collection. this is a wonderful leopard bracelet watch.
>> where's the watch?
>> you pop open the --
>> that's great.
>> wow! surprise.
>> you've never seen a piece like this?
>> i had never seen a piece like this. dy a little research with cartier. and what is wonderful is you think about, it is platinum, sapphires, diamonds, all these hard stones that all of a sudden come together to make this wonderful panther lying on a sapphire rug telling time.
>> minus the bargain here --
>> relatively speaking , it is a fabulous 20-carat diamond and the estimate is $150,000 to $200,000, although i can tell you if you are bidding on this, you'll have to chase it. it is a wonderful color but there are certain imperfections in the stone that keep the price very reasonable. but it is -- it's not heavy.
>> you'll get used to 20 carats.
>> again, the exhibit is at sothe sotheby 's here in new york tuesday.

Welcome to the McLennan Clan in Australia.Should you wish to submit information to our Australian McLennan Clan database, or have a question of me, please email at the address shown. Allowing around 8 days for a reply. In addition to McLennan data I specialise in two other areas; * Tasmania family history (that beautiful island to the south of the Australian 'mainland') and * Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory. The background to this page reflects my interest in flying. The Pegasus site at www.avnet.co.uk/pegasus/pegasus.htm shows the type of aircraft I fly. A powered hanglider, microlight, or a 'trike' - depending on your part of the world. Family history has taugh me to enjoy life while we have the health and ability. Hoping to hear from you soon.
