Should You Have A Joint Banking Account?
- Encourages regular communication about finances
- Built-in accountability partner on spending matters
- Fosters unity in money matters
- Strong sense of working together to meet financial goals
- Clear that all household income is treated as "our" money
- No conflict or administrative work in "splitting up the bills"
- Dave Ramsey says this is best, and we all love Dave, right?
Reasons Why Separate or "Yours, Mine and Ours" Bank Accounts Rule
- Duties of financial bookkeeping not solely on one person
- Clear boundaries set up-front for individual spending
- May be easier to track specific savings goals
- Easy to surprise your spouse with gifts
- No need to talk about finances regularly
- Each spouse can keep "their proportionate amount" of household income
- Ability to maintain privacy about what you spend money on
- More independence and autonomy to spend as desired without seeking concurrence
So, who is really right? After reading a lot about this issue and reflecting upon it, I have divined the one, true and infallible answer to this age-old question: It depends.
You will notice that the reasons I listed in support of separate accounts are broken into two groups. In my opinion, the "[unitalicized]" group are legitimate and healthy reasons for having multiple accounts. However, the "[italicized]" group spells trouble. The reasons listed in [italics] are centered in a mentality of not just separate accounts, but separate finances within the marriage. I feel strongly that this is a dangerous and unhealthy foundation for money management for a married couple. These reasons come from a spirit of selfishness, and they do not reflect the fact that marriage is a partnership. And they certainly do not support open communication and trust.
Personally, Bethany and I use a single, joint checking account and feel that is absolutely perfect for us. And before I gave this much thought, I would have prescribed this same arrangement for every married couple. Actually, I still think this is the way to go, but I can see where other approaches can work fine, too. The main reason that we choose to keep a joint bank account is our belief in unity. We believe that when you get married, you become one, and money is a key area where this is lived out. There is no "yours, mine and ours" but only "ours." When you handle your money together, you are agreeing on your hopes, dreams and goals together. The use of a single joint account also encourages (requires, really) open communication about your finances, which is absolutely critical to a successful marriage.

Hi friends its perfectly bath brush
These are very high quality poofs. They do not come apart and the silkiness of them makes it great for everyday use without being rough on your skin. Highly recommend!!
I hope no one buys this product as it is overpriced, even saying $1.00 on bottle. I am going to report them to the Better business bureau. It shows a price in some cases of $2.50. Do they think we are stupid or something?
This is a really good product for dry skin.
For the price and amount, it is well worth the purchase. I tried another fragrance before which I liked just as much, if not better. The former Ivory purchase had a more subtle scent. Aloe is nice though. I would definitely purchase it again.

St Marys still looking ominous in pursuit of third straight NTFL flag
- From: NT News
- August 13, 2014
ST MARYS captain Peter MacFarlane smiled when reminded his Saints were aiming for a third successive NTFL flag when the 2014-15 campaign kicks off in seven weeks.
The Green Machine will shoot for a 40th straight win when they meet Wanderers in a grand final rematch on October 4 at TIO Stadium.
MacFarlane, the reigning premiership skipper and Nichols medallist, recalls a former player "somewhere in Darwin" telling the playing group two years ago they would not win another flag with the list they had.
"The funny thing is we're looking at three-in-a-row since he said that, so I guess his judgment was a bit off the mark,'' MacFarlane grinned after jogging with some teammates at Nightcliff beach last night.
In another twist, St Marys are only 16 games short of equalling their own Australian record of 55 wins in a row, a target they set from 1994-97.
"We're aware of the record and it would be huge to get there, but it would mean going through another season undefeated and that's a big ask,'' Macfarlane said.
"Obviously winning the grand final is the ultimate goal and we want to win as many games as we can to try and get there.''
Jarred Ilett and Lucas White are gone from the premiership side, but with former Geelong ruckman Mark Blake keen to return and last season's leading goalkicker Justin van Unen moving to Darwin full-time the Green Machine is set to roll on again.
MacFarlane is also fit and raring to go after post-season knee surgery.
"The knee is feeling great, I'm feeling OK for an old fella,'' he said.
Midfielder Justin Wilson said the usual pre-season hunger at the 30-time NTFL premier was building to a crescendo.
"Most of the boys have been doing some gym work for a couple of months now and that's the way it is as you get a bit older, you want to keep that fitness base,'' he said.
"There will be some young kids pushing us older blokes for spots in the team which is the biggest thing we need.
"The hunger and drive will always be there and the record is a little carrot dangling in front of us and the players want to be part of that."

After Luciano, Warrior King and Bonnie Casey drop out of the Miami Reggae Festival lineup, reggae giant Morgan Heritage come together to save the day!
Previously announced as one of the headliners of the Miami Reggae Festival, Luciano, along with Warrior King and Bonnie Casey, has cancelled his South Florida appearance.
According to Rockaz MVMT president, Alfonso Brooks, Luciano's management recently informed him that he would be unable to perform because he does not have a visa and therefore cannot travel or perform in the United States.
Warrior King and Bonnie Casey have also dropped out because they were booked with Luciano as a package deal.
"It's messed up," said Brooks, "But life happens sometimes."
Fortunately, another reggae giant has emerged to fill the slot. Temporarily putting their solo projects aside, Morgan Heritage will come together to save the festival, putting in their effort to support the food drive and combat food insecurity.
"People went above and beyond to make this happen," said Brooks. "It's going to work."
The new lineup for the Miami Reggae Festival will also include performances by Puerto Rican reggae sensation Cultura Prophetica, The Spam Allstars, Jahfe, Ephniko and many more.
The concert is still free to attend aside from a two-can minimum donation to the food drive, and is still scheduled to go on from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, April 30 at Peacock Park in Coconut Grove.

Some reformers unconvinced welfare plan is tough enough - 0 Comments
Skeptical reformers held out hope that the new welfare chief is serious about fixing the fraud-infested system, but warned her 100-day plan only scratches the surface.
"My first reaction is I wish her luck — I hope these things do actually happen," said state Rep. Shaunna O'Connell (R-Taunton). "But I have been told for the last two years this EBT system is a fortress ... and, of course, we know that's not true."

Word on the street is the Bare Minerals Ready Eyeshadow 2.0 Palette are quite the hit. And really why wouldn't they be? I have my little stash of loose mineral shadows from BE but let's face it they are the fall out demons from hell. I hate having to clean up fall out because hello, how impossible. I've tried tape tricks, powder under the eye trick, etc…etc…even eyeshadow shields which are sometimes a gift from the beauty tool Gods in these situations but fall out, such a pain.
Bare Minerals makes some might fine shadows but having them pressed up into a compact, well, that's the best thing I've experienced in the beauty world since the introduction of Urban Decay Primer Potion.
Let's take a peek and find out what's so fab about 'em!

Been a weird summer. Aliens everywhere, too, fighting each other right next to Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf, or stuck in some awful Johannesburg ghetto, or getting their asses handed to them by James Tiberius Kirk.
On top of that, the Nazis got what they deserved, Meryl Streep cooked up a storm, Johnny Depp and Christian Bale had their mojo stolen by four drunks lost in Vegas, then some old guy with a load of balloons made everybody cry like a little girl.
Lots of hits, misses and sleepers, but—because this is the Best of Summer 2009—what was the hottest flick? You make the call. (If your fave isn't on the list, drop it in the comments and make your case!)

Assassin's Creed 2, The Beatles: Rock Band, Borderlands, Brutal Legend, Dragon Age: Origins, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Left 4 Dead 2, Modern Warfare 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii. There, are we done? For the majority of top 10 of 2009 lists spreading fungally across every site covering games, probably, and they're not at all particularly wrong.
But 2009 was about a lot more than that handful that we knew would top their respective Metacritic charts (and retail sales lists) six to nine months before their release date, and -- as I did with last year's Offworld 20 list (with a near-identical intro, I've just re-discovered, woops!) -- this list for Boing Boing will instead focus on the games that left their own strong mark on the year, just, sadly, a mark that in most cases went mostly overlooked.
Split into two sections, the first part of the Boing Boing 20 list will focus on console and handheld releases, while next week's will round up the ten best indie and iPhone games, organized alphabetically rather than by any arbitrary ranking, with plenty of room in the comments for your own additions to your top gaming moments of the year.
Without further ado, then, the best collection of pre-adolescent royalty, retro revivalism, at least two kinds of rhythm, stretchers, scribblers, and succulents the year had to offer, and one bona-fide blockbuster that managed to rise above the rest (it's the one not listed above, can you guess before you reach the end?):
Little King's Story [Marvelous, Wii]
Little King's Story was a true left field surprise this year: a game about managing a township unwittingly put under your control, about protecting them and conquering the things they fear, a game about expanding your reign through exploration and field conquests, and a game that managed to do a better job of the mini-micro-management of your troops than even Nintendo's re-released Wii-control Pikmin that must have inspired it.
Its crayon and pastel fantasy surely didn't help curry any favor with the gaming hardcore, which is a shame mostly because it a.) belies the surprisingly challenging and strategic game underneath and 2.) be honest, lends the game an undeniable storybook charm. Truly one of the year's best adventures that too few have played.
Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes [Capy, DS]
Coming in as the year's best 11th-hour surprise, Toronto indie Capy's puzzle/strategy/RPG take on the Might & Magic universe was just covered here on Boing Boing, so I'll reiterate that here:
Like Puzzle Quest -- Infinite Interactive's similarly dangerously time-devouring puzzler -- before it, Clash overlays its fantasy RPG tale with battles that play out via color-matching vertical lines of troops to create, fuse and link attacks launched against your enemies, and doing the same horizontally to put together defensive lines to guard against theirs.
Its ruleset is so intricately devised and delicately balanced that it'd take an article in itself to explain them fully, but for all its richness and complexity, it's a system that takes only minutes of practice to mentally snap together, and all your remaining hours of the day to happily master. If you have any proclivity toward brainy puzzling, do not hesitate to pick this up: it's got all the trappings of being one of the handheld's underdog classics.
Noby Noby Boy [Namco, PS3]
Those that said that Noby Noby Boy -- the Katamari Damacy follow-up from creator Keita Takahashi -- had no point themselves missed the point. While it's true that the design of each individual play session is as lackadaisical and boundless as the BOY himself, its overarching goal is an achievement in itself as gaming's most massive massively-multiplayer undertaking.
Underneath the surface is a story of, ideally, countless BOYs (as of this writing we're just ten players shy of 100,000) all vying to impress the universe's only GIRL by doing the only thing they were put on Earth to do: swallow and stretch their coiled bodies as far as they can. By converting those impressive and hard-earned meters into the love that propels her own body further into the solar system, in real-time, she unlocks the planets she reaches for all the players in the world.
So, yes, there is a goal, and there is an end-game, which we'll only see if and when our PlayStation 3s (or, very soon, iPhones) are still functioning in the time it takes to push her the remaining ponderous distance from Jupiter to Pluto.
Is it a willfully and near-recklessly devised design, particularly for thrusting hugely delayed gratification on a generation of players accustomed to instant/constant feedback and reward? Absolutely, and that's exactly what makes it one of the year's best.
Plants Vs. Zombies [PopCap, PC/Mac]
It would be easy, and cynical -- and more importantly, wrong -- to assume that casual powerhouse PopCap simply rode the crest of tower-defense and zombie-lust that defined much of gaming in 2009. Instead, it appears to have brilliantly anticipated it, having started and been in production nearly two years ahead, and could be instead seen as instrumental in propelling both memes into wider consciousness.
Going viral by nature of its basic premise alone, and then again by Laura Shigihara's perfectly ludicrous music video, it would have been disastrous if the resulting game couldn't fulfill expectations. Thankfully, it did, giving the tower defense genre a much-needed shot in the arm of accessibility without uprooting the core entirely, and the imminent move to iPhone -- letting us finally take the game away from our desktops -- is still one of our most anticipated.
Retro Game Challenge [Namco, DS]
Publisher XSEED had an unenviable task on their hands in bringing Retro Game Challenge to the West: taking a game that's inextricably derived from Japan's best games-related TV show that the rest of the world has never seen (Game Center CX), and is soaked through with references to Famicom nostalgia rather than the U.S.'s own NES nostalgia, and somehow making it relevant to us.
So we'll forgive them in going a half-step too far in shoe-horning in the 80s of Max Headroom and Valley Girl, and for working in 90s era U.S. game magazine references that flew over the heads of all but about ten people outside journalist-circles, because in the end none of that really mattered.
Well, the nostalgia does, because that's precisely what Retro Game Challenge is a game about: that once-every-three-months-a-new-game past of our collective youth, that afterschool poring over cheat codes past, a time when developers were inventing genres as often as games themselves.
Challenge is at heart a collection of remade early-days NES classics that never were, and your task (as goes the title) is to work your way through a series of prescribed challenges in each, whether it be finding hidden warps or defeating RPG bosses, and it manages to perfectly evoke that nostalgia that we thought only emulators could manage to do these days.
The sad news is that even as one of the year's most original and rewarding games -- a game that overtly celebrated the games culture that made up its target audience -- sales don't seem to have been up to snuff for the publisher to consider Westernizing the Japanese sequel, leaving a whole other legacy of first-gen Game Boy and 16-bit era "classics" behind.
Rhythm Heaven [Nintendo, DS]
Rhythm Heaven probably won't be showing up on near as many 2009 lists as it should, not because it's not brilliant -- it is -- but because it took so long for Nintendo to finally bring it to the West that it feels like ancient history (in digital years, obviously) to its core supporters who had imported and impotently raved about it long before.
Heaven's the truest example of a music game that's purely about rhythm, and not just about Simon Says-ing patterns or following bars down your screen to the tune of your dad's favorite classic rock. It's about rhythm as an unbroken line, or (at its best) an unbroken agreement between performers, about teaching and keeping steady tempo.
It's also one of the year's funniest, and desperately deserves some December love, if nothing else than to prove to Nintendo that a game this non-traditional can still find a wide, appreciative audience.
Rock Band: Unplugged [Harmonix/Backbone, PSP]
Though clearly overshadowed by its big console brothers and their new friends The Beatles, Unplugged -- and to a slightly lesser degree the DS version of Lego Rock Band -- were semi-shoutouts to the fans that made developer Harmonix the stadium-supergroup headliners they are today.
Take away its hard rock 'performance' and replace it with looping techno rave-up ambiance and you're right back where the developer began: flipping back and forth through lanes of sound, trying to keep each alive in sequence to make the parts a whole song, just as they pioneered in their PS2 originals Frequency and Amplitude.
You didn't need to know this, and you don't need to care, for Unplugged to work its magic: you just need the willingness to escape into music without the fake plastic mediator in between.
Recent news that Harmonix would no longer be converting its massive library of original recordings for Unplugged DLC stung fractionally harder than the bait and switch of offering only a five-song Lite version as the PSPGo's pack-in, with still no full download available on the PlayStation Network (which has to be down to digital publishing rights for particular bands and not willful neglect, right?), but for those still clinging to Sony's UMD-laden past, this is one of the UMDs most worth clinging to.
Scribblenauts [5TH Cell, DS]
Alongside Plants Vs. Zombies, Scribblenauts was the game that carried itself best throughout the year on a tidal wave of viral acclaim solely for its premise alone. But what a premise that was: it promised to let players conjure essentially any object imaginable -- krakens, keyboard cats, Gods, time-traveling robot-zombie-smashing T-rexes -- to solve puzzles via the furthest-most outer-reaches of our imaginations.
Did it work? Errr... yeah, I mean, mostly: developer 5TH Cell will be (and overtly has been) the first to acknowledge that its very touchy touch-based controls could have used some refinement. But even more surprising (for me, anyway), was in just how limited my own imagination was when it came time to put it to the test.
Need to rescue a cat off a roof, or wave away an angry bee? Much to my disappointment, I found I was just as apt to use, you know, a ladder and a bit of bug repellent, rather than any flights of fantastical fancy.
But its essential magic -- even if that 'magic' was simply the fortitude to sprite-sketch their way through untold reams of dictionary entries -- remained untouched, and it's still a thrill to try and stump the system and learn that they've got you covered.
Shadow Complex [Chair, Xbox 360]
Shadow Complex was the best retro revival this year that had no predecessor of its own. For once, it wasn't lazy to give the game the comparative nod back to Super Metroid: it was unabashedly right there in front of you, in its color coded barriers, in lead character Jason Flemming's tight crawls through narrow passages (here just crouched, rather than rolled into a morph ball), straight down to a 'Justin Bailey' referencing achievement.
And yet even the ones most prone to cry foul -- to call the game out for taking some of Japan's best classic design and running it through a Western mill until its plot and characters were offenders of the worst nameless, faceless, bottom-shelf would-be Tom Clancy degree -- had to admit: fair enough to that, but the game turned out completely wicked.
Harnessing the full power of Epic's Unreal Engine 3 for charmingly/ironically yester-year ends, this was exactly where we thought our 16-bit games were headed at the time: recycled but beloved design with drastically improved fidelity. We were wrong then, of course, but Shadow Complex proved maybe we shouldn't have been.
Uncharted 2 [Naughty Dog, PS3]
My pithy one-liner to encapsulate Naughty Dog's blockbuster adventure? It's the finest rollercoaster of the year that makes you climb off the train and rebuild the engine at the bottom of every hill.
Uncharted 2 easily managed to outshine the rest of the year's big-budget bids and managed to make a true believer even out of me, even if what it did best -- giving you some of the most hyper-vivid, lush and gargantuan ancient ruins and relics any developer has offered to let you explore -- was punctuated by over-technical firefights with your constant trigger-happy pursuers.
That's not to say the shootouts didn't work well on their own -- they are, probably, some of gaming's most realistically modeled, with every unwilling and amateur participant pressed firm against or dancing between cover and skittishly hazarding the occasional shot -- but the frequent breaks to dispatch another round of guards felt at times at odds against the relentlessly cinematic flow of the exploration.
In the end, you pressed through, though -- you had to -- guided by the promise of an even greater cliff-hanging thrill than the one you just narrowly scraped through, and the game never left that promise unfulfilled. Just next time, please, Naughty Dog: less of the shoot-shoot-bang-bang and more of the clamber-climb-marvel-amaze.
The Boing Boing 20, pt. 1: the best console and handheld games of 2009
16 Responses to "The Boing Boing 20, pt. 1: the best console and handheld games of 2009"
great list! just bought two games that i had missed out on/forgotten this year!
Uncharted 2 is just PERFECT…the graphics are wonderful and the gameplay is amazing, only a Xboxfanboy to ask to Naughty Dog change something in the game (or the next uncharted game).
My favorite iPhone game this year just came out. It's called Sonus, I am completely addicted to it. Here is a link to the website where I first herd about it. http://www.cerebralvortexgames.com/index.php?p=Sonus
Give some love to The Saboteur. It's like a cross between Assassin's Creed and GTA IV, with Nazies and bare-breasted dancers. The monochrome of the oppressed districts splashed with Nazi Red is also very cool.
Scribblenauts – Don't blame yourself.
Chris Crawford has a bit in one of his books that I'll paraphrase: "You can judge the fitness of an interactive application by the ratio of suggested states to states that are actually achievable."
To parse that: If a game has a chair in the room, it suggests that you can sit in the chair. If you can, that state is achievable, and all is well; if you can't actually sit in the chair, then you're broken out of the game a bit – you see the walls and the rail you're riding on, instead of Mr Toad's Wild Ride.
So Scribblenauts dove headlong into this chasm – it was a game that suggested almost everything, knowing it could never deliver. The fact that it works as well as it does is very impressive, but they set themselves an impossible task.
For example, the first puzzle had 4 people, a Cook, Policeman, Fireman, and Doctor, and asked you to put something they would use in their hands. I gave the cook a rolling pin, policeman a badge, fireman a firehose, and doctor a stethoscope. Mad, insane, ludicrous props to the game that I could do that in the first place, but (but but but but) it didn't work. I had to replace two of those items before the game would accept the solution.
They could capture part, but not all, of the user's creativity and intuition. Objects would usually work close to how you wanted, but not exactly. I know that's what kept me to simple solutions. I solved most of the puzzles with a jetpack and a grappling gun (which is awesome!), because I knew how they worked. This some-but-not-all gap made exploring the possibility space somewhat frustrating, which encouraged the player to keep to simple, familiar solutions.
The game is very impressive, and gives some great experiences. For example, a friend at work solves most problems with a jetpack and a lasso, instead of a grappling gun. In his heart he's a cowboy, and in mine I'm Batman. That the game lets both of us express that is awesome. But 5th Cell set themselves an impossible task, and ended up in a new kind of uncanny valley. It's oddly similar to the Final Fantasy CGI move Spirits Within – stunningly impressive, but ultimately unconvincing, unfulfilling. Still, it deserves its place on the list, and everyone should get a copy; when it works it's incredible, and this sort of radical experimentation should be encouraged.
(Oh yeah, full disclosure: I make games for WB, who published this game, but if you've read this far and you think that's why I'm telling you to buy the game, you're a very strange person.)
Game of the year: Spelunky
Can I make a request for us non-iPhone users that the list also include some Android games?
Or are there not yet any Android games worthy enough to be on the list?
Uncharted 2 is just perfect…and its the game of the year!!
no machinarium?
I second your sentiments on a profound lack of imagination throughout Scribblenauts. And I think it speaks volumes that I was most excited to see what happens if you pitch a venture capitalist against an entrepreneur- 'surprisingly' nothing (at which point i chuck in a T-Rex).
…sorry, that was supposed to read "…that next week's list…"
While it's not the best tower defense game ever, Comet Crash for download only on the PS3 was a total blast. It supports up to 3-player co-op mode for solving all of the levels and alternatively has a 4-player battle mode. All of the levels can be played 1, 2, or 3-players but to unlock all of the stages you must play it all the way through in one of the player configurations. My wife and I played through 2-player and it was good romp having just come off of a co-op play through of Borderlands.
Little King's Story looks a lot like Pikmin.
Am I the only one who doesn't see the Justin Baily achievement for Shadow Complex?
Sorry, should clarify: there's a Master Challenge achievement in the game called 'Jason Bailey', not an actual GamerScore-earning 'Achievement'.
Uncharted 2 was a pretty cool game that I thought would be ranked high. Totally agree with this list.

Ramblings from another nerd on the grid
Gadget Links
Virtual Stuff
Windows Sites
Other Diversions
It's been almost a year since I discussed anything regarding my PSP. Let me first say it's still one of my favorite gadgets. I use it mostly for watching video while in airports, on planes, etc. I have a few games but I find that the video aspect is what compelled me to buy the thing in the first place, and it is still the main feature I use.
The Sony PlayStation Portable has been updated a few times over the past year. The November 2005 update is definitely my favorite because it added support for Microsoft Windows Media Audio (.wma) playback. Copy protected .wma files are not supported.
Another feature added in the update is support for RSS subscriptions. I did some brief testing of the RSS <enclosure> support against my RSS feed and it works nicely. I haven't bothered to see how it stores the enclosed audio file. When I tested it, it started buffering and playing the .mp3 almost immediately. Enough babbling, lets talk about DVD video, shall we?
DVD Ripping
As you know, DVD ripping is a touchy subject. There are a number of ways to "backup" your DVD collection to disk storage on a PC. Many of the commercially sold audio and video products will do this now. I have tried a variety of tools. Whatever tool you choose will need to produce the .VOB file that can then be used for conversion. Yea, you got that right, it's a two step process. After you have completed the first step of creating the "backup" .VOB, you can head over to the PSP Video 9 website and download their transcoding utility. It's free although they do accept donations. I am currently using version 1.6 but will probably download 1.74 later and try it out.
Using PSP Video 9
When you start transcoding the .VOB files, you have some decisions to make. You must decide if you want small size or good video quality. It's a balancing act. You will also need to decide if you want to leave the original picture unmodified or do you want to change the aspect ratio and possibly crop to remove black bars common with widescreen formats.
I did a lot of testing over my Christmas holiday vacation to determine my preferred settings for 4:3 ratio "full screen" movies, and 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 wide screen movies. Part of the testing included cropping pixels from the top and bottom of the video to remove the dreaded black bars. I used "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" (widescreen 1.85:1) and "Star Wars III – Revenge Of The Sith" (widescreen 2.35:1) for my test base.
When you launch PSPVideo9, there are a number of profiles in the Setup area to pick from. I ended up using the "SP/368x208/29.97fps/QB4 Stereo/96kbps" profile for my widescreen tests. This profile produces a MPEG4 .MOV file with good quality video and audio. You can produce a much smaller file by using the QB7 profile.
Just to give you an idea of the size, I ripped the entire Lord of the Rings Special Edition DVD set (6 DVDs) and spread the resulting .MOV files across 2.5gig of the memory sticks I had at the time. That's two 1gig sticks and a 500meg stick. That is some SERIOUS compression. I used the QB7 profile for that process and did not crop anything. The end result is certainly watch-able but the QB4 quality is far superior.
After doing the LOTR rips, I decided to get a little more scientific with my testing. That means writing down what I tested and documenting the end result. I never did that with the conversions I did with MCE recorded TV content so I figured I'd better document things so I don't go bananas trying to remember later.
My Profile Preferences and Results
I ended up liking the following settings:
Results of the above settings:
As you can see, the DVDs compress nicely. The limiting factor is the memory stick size you have. I recently purchased a 2gig Sandisk Memory Stick Duo from amazon.com for $109. It has since dropped another ten bucks. This will be perfect for movies like Black Hawk Down that bump up against the 1gig barrier. There are some after market PSP drives. Lik-Sang makes and sells the 4gig drive. You can also find this drive at your local game retailers.
Use the most powerful computer you have to do both steps of this process. The second step transcoding process will take 100% of whatever CPU you have. In fact, it's one of the main reasons I am saving for a multi core box. Transferring video from a MiniDV camera and conversion, DVD rips, and MCE recorded TV conversions are the most resource intensive stuff I do. My lowly Pentium 4 needs a boost so I am saving my pennies.
Hopefully you found this useful. If you don't have a portable video player, look closely at the PSP before you buy anything. They have really nice screens, are small, and easy to use. Happy travels!!!
Hella-sweet post dude! Of course, just when I thought I had made a final decision on an iPAQ vs. the PSP, I've got to go back to the drawing board. In the spirit of 'fair and balanced', is there a program you like that rips DVDs to WMA?
Tim, could you clarify the question? Is the DVD an audio and video DVD?
Contrary to recent pontifications, black is still the elegant device color of choice for many of us.

SLS Vegas, the first major casino resort to open in Vegas in years, has everything and is everything.
There is no exaggeration when we say SLS Vegas has everything. Even with all of the awesome things to do in the city, guests never actually have to leave the premises for a full Vegas experience.
The standards of dining in Vegas are high and SLS Vegas went all out to meet them. On the long list of restaurants guests can enjoy are The Griddle Café, Ku Noodle, 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria and more. There are two restaurants that we're particularly excited about.
Cleo has Mediterranean-inspired food and old Hollywood inspired décor, evident by the larger than life picture of Liz Taylor in her Cleopatra getup.
SLS Vegas is also home to Bazaar Meats, a reworking of Bazaar by the James Beard award-winning Chef Jose Andres.
Along with a 60,000 square foot casino, SLS Vegas has three night life concepts to add to the entertainment options.
LiFE, a 20,000-square-foot mega club, Foxtail and Foxtail Pool club for night and day partying, and the second location of The Sayers Club can all be found on site.
The most impressive element of SLS Vegas is its style. This is one sexy resort and casino. How sexy? Lenny Kravitz and Kravitz Design Inc. were commissioned to design a collection of suites for the resort. Though not on the Kravitz portfolio, our top pick suite to stay in is a Lux suite.
LUX is an all-suite hotel with Classic French inspired, lavish design. It's calling us, we can hear it.

We can learn a lot from nature. Rather than relying on someone's creativity or a team's problem solving, evolution has honed every part of the world around us into the perfect representation of itself. If it doesn't work, it doesn't last.
Daniel Büning is an architect and researcher who combines emerging computational methods, with the utilisation of novel cutting edge manufacturing technology to create digitally informed architectural objects. Working in collaboration with Voxeljet and Uformia, he has been exploring innovative architectural applications for large-scale 3D printing.
The Natural Column Project
The Natural Column Project is the world's first-ever architectural free-form column that is equipped with an internal three-dimensionally graded heterogenous microstructure – a structure that has been created through a structural simulation process. This project presents a novel digital workflow for the design, simulation and fabrication of large-scale additively manufactured architectural elements.
The iterative form-finding method of topology optimization was utilized to create the optimum load-bearing capability, while using as little material as possible. The resulting structure shares similarities with natural systems like bones or trees. Although these biological structures were well investigated by several interdisciplinary research clusters (including numerous architects and engineers in the last century) they were considered impossible to realize due to the absence of an adequate manufacturing method.
The Natural Column Project benefits directly from the advantages of additive manufacturing which allow for the materialization of unseen architectural free-form elements. In the described digital process, the informed and calibrated 3D model has a 1:1 relationship to its subsequent 3D printed counter-piece. The incorporation of a tight interdependency between form, performance and matter points to an enhanced, more sustainable and more environmentally friendly manufacturing cycle.

I have found one for $500 w/nightsites, and 2 cheap holsters. THe owner claims it is new with only about 50 rnds. through it.
Since I am newer to Glocks I have to ask, is $500 too much for a G19?
