It's just another typical old house on a typical old avenue in typical old Orange. There's even a white picket fence bordering the front lawn, like most of the other homes neighboring it.
Walk down the driveway, however, and you notice tell-tale signs that rock stars live and work here.
Things aren't exactly … tidy.
Kids' toys litter the path. A comfy, strangely clean couch sits next to a stand-alone basketball hoop. The side yard is such a maze of items, it's hard to discern which way leads into the house.
But there's at least one spot that's now in order: the studio Thrice has built in the garage, which curiously faces the backyard.
You enter and the room instantly splits in two, control booth on one side, recording space on the other, a wad of wall in between to soundproof it all. Greeting you, before you choose a side, is a framed poster promoting Radiohead's Kid A, the entire canvas filled Warhol-like with perfectly lined rows of those evil-grinning "bear" icons the British band unveiled with that album's release.
An hour later, after Thrice has played me a half-dozen groove-heavy works-in-progress, I'll come to realize why that is such a fitting image, so prominently displayed. Right now, I'm struck by the compactness of everything.
Most kitchens are larger than this studio space. Yet everyone has his corner carved out –- so much so that at first I don't even notice Riley, the drumming half of the band's Breckenridge brothers, tucked behind his kit, prepping his laptop with a song-structure cheat sheet and a beats-per-minute click-track.
Frontman Dustin Kensrue and lead guitarist and effects whiz Teppei Teranishi face each other, separated by an electric piano -– though once they start to play, Teppei turns his back to all of us, intently focused on nailing these new songs. Initially nervous to have a stranger in the room, bassist Ed Breckenridge stands closest to where I sit on a folding chair, his pedal panel to my left, Riley's high-hat to my right. If I lean too far in Ed's direction, I'll get my skull smashed by his pegboard.
"It's a good thing you came this week," Dustin tells me while he and Teppei try to resolve why a vocal amp keeps buzzing. "This place was a mess last week."
And it's still cramped, to say the least. But that's a big part of what makes it such a crucial element to what Thrice is now trying to achieve.
For starters, there's cost-effectiveness in this do-it-yourself arrangement. "How much would it be to cut this in L.A.?" I ask the guys over berry salads and mu-shu burritos later at a nearby Rutabegorz. "Probably $500,000," Ed answers.
But with Teppei owning this remodeled house (plus another just down the street), "We keep expenses pretty low. Just buy equipment every once in a while. I remember reading something forever ago about that (local) band Smile, how they got signed and got this advance, but then spent that money on building their own studio and making themselves self-sufficient. They had the ability to make records at that point without any other help."
"We couldn't afford to do it any other way," Teppei explains. "What we would have been spending on a record for a major label is instead allowing us to live while we're off the road."
That helps Thrice stay closer to family –- Dustin and Teppei both have children now –- rather than force them to trek to L.A., where they can't dilly-dally on someone else's dime. The construction of this home studio, then, has bought the group time to experiment and grow in ways it otherwise never could have afforded.
Prepping a breakthrough
It also has accelerated an evolution underway since 2005's Vheissu, Thrice's fourth album and a career dividing line.
What came before that sonic breakthrough was pro forma power-punk and screamo, peaking with the quartet's Island Records debut, The Artist in the Ambulance (2003). That disc followed a rawer collection cut for Sub City Records, The Illusion of Safety, before which came a rudimentary debut, 2000's Identity Crisis -- which, despite its creators' disregard for it now, still inspires weirdly fanatical adoration among young fans who discover it.
Vheissu, however, was a sludgy, moody turning point that landed the band a puzzling main-stage slot at Coachella '06. Digitized and darker, the album signaled that Thrice had not only grown tired of the scene it helped popularize, it also had become weary of pigeonholing that comes from staying the same year in, year out. (Above is the video for the disc's lead-off track, "Image of the Invisible.")>

How would you use a PowerMac G5?
I recently "inherited" one of the last versions of the PowerMac G5 with the dual 2.0 GHz processors and I don't know how could I get the most out of this machine?
I know it is sort of a dead end bc PPC won't be supported beyond Leopard (which it is running). I have all my music files on a HDD connected to my Extreme and I have a printer connected to my Express. I don't have a huge movie library nor do I have tons of photos (we store them all on our individual computers). And, I have all our computers backing up via TM to an additional HDD through the extreme (usb hub).
So I hate to be at a loss, but I don't know how I could capitalize on this nice, hardworking, reliable machine.
If you were me, how would you use it?
too many devices to list - besides, do you really care?

I think you need to rephrase your question to take into account of what you want to do with it, then others can help you decide if it is possible.
For myself, I have a dual 2.0 2004 G5 running tiger with 6GB of ram. I am a moderate user of CS4 Photoshop and Dreamweaver. I think this computer is great for my needs. I've had images up to 500 megs in Photoshop, including layers, and found the performance fine. I don't earn a living with my computer so I can afford to wait for it to do things - but then, it doesn't keep me waiting long.
When you can determine what you would like to do, go to the sites of the various software packages and give their products a free trial. This will help you determine if the G5 is capable of the performance you need. Try not to leave this much longer because when Apple's next operating system arrives - soon the software that the G5 is able to run on will not be available. If you got your G5 for free, what do you have to lose?
Anyways - for the right user who can live with being left behind software-wise, I still think the G5 is a cost effective way to enjoy the Mac platform.
Here is a link to a site that has many great ideas of how to increase the performance of your Mac:
Good luck.

Unless I had a use for it, I'd probably just ebay it or keep it as a backup machine...
I use my G4 for DVD encoding. It's slow but letting it run overnight is fine.

I think it is easy to dismiss the G5 because it seems like older technology - however, it was designed in the era of CS2. Back then it was state of the art for all kinds of applications. If you want to do those things at that level, and are not a Professional that needs to read the latest software versions from clients and peers, and have moderate uses, the G5 still is viable. I am impressed that CS4 performs for me as well as CS2 did - and CS4 is what is currently the standard version.
Seriously, unless the original poster needs more power to operate effectively - it doesn't make sense in this economy to sell a machine that he got for free, get next to nothing on eBay for it - then have to go out there and spend a lot of cash for a new Mac. Even a fully decked out Mini, with Apple care, including the sales tax, is $1,400 Canadian. If your needs are modest and you can use the current software effectively for your needs, it doesn't make sense to throw out a perfectly usable machine.
If the original poster did decide in a year that he needed more power, the software that is purchased today is Universal and can be used with the Intel machines. He might have to at that point go into the used market for a used Intel machine because Apple will see to it that their future machines won't play the older software. Something to be aware of.

When your logic borad dies, because all G5's seem to die after 4 years (right when Apple Care runs out), you can have an expensive door stop.
I would get everything on that computer onto an external hard drive and think your self blessed every morning that the machine boots up and does not start going into kernel panic.
I buried my G5 2.5 dual about a week ago. 5 straight years with no problems at all, and one day it would not boot up and never did again. Bad logic board- $1000 to fix.
Those machines when working are very good, and very nice.

shame you say you dont have much in the way of movies, and/or music. this would be an extremely flashy media server. hah :-) unless your a pro with the uttermost, highly sought after computer i wouldnt sell it, its still a highly usable machine, in many respects of that phrase.
Could make a server-backup (backup all your files in one single place) you can never have enough backups :-)

I say sell it and be thankful for whatever you can get for it. The G5 is power hungry and not all that quiet -- not the greatest platform to be a media server or file server or whatever you might think up to make use of a spare box. I just unloaded my dual 2.7 G5 because I was in a very similar situation. I was using it to fiddle with OS X Server and the utility I was getting from it wasn't enough to justify the cost of the power to run it.
I'm a geek. I have a bunch of Macs. I drank the Kool-Aid. I like cars, airplanes, music, and coding.

why all the hate?
I really don't realize where all the hate for the G5 is coming from. It was an excellent machine when released, and still is. I would prefer a late 05 Dual 2GHz PPC G5 to a new mini any day.
That being said, I am currently using my G5 in my living room, with a 26" screen at the desk and a 15' DVI-HDMI cable running to my TV on the far side of the room, so that I can surf or photoshop and watch video at the same time. You can find wall cord covers here http://www.cabletiesandmore.com/index.php, so you don't have to have un agly mess of cables on your floor. The cables were actually really cheap on Amazon. It works really well at the moment, and only gets sluggish when trying to run 1080p video on one screen and loading graphic intensive web pages at the same time. I am solving this problem by picking up an nVidia 7800GTX with 512MB DDR3 RAM, then I'll have four DVI ports, and I'll run one chord from the 6600 LE that comes standard with the model to a third monitor on the desk so I can have a dual monitor set up at the desk as well. Keep in mind this model can support up to 16GB of ram, and the upgrades really aren't that expensive through Crucial or OWC. I know you said you don't have much media, but think about streaming video as well. I love watching YouTube He-Man episodes on the larger screen in my living room. I'm also a big fan of Hulu, I don't know how you feel about that site, but if you enjoy it, it really is nice to watch it on a larger screen. You've got an optical audio port on the back, so you really could get a great sound system going for movies that might be better than your current set up.
Just a few things that I do with mine. It really is a work horse.
If you can't figure out something to do with it, I would definitely be interested in buying it.

I apologize for jumping the gun with my determined advice. I didn't read the original poster's profile listing the equipment that he already has.
I know I can get overzealous in advocating the relevance of the G5 because I've been a convert of using older computers that are still useful to the tasks that need to be accomplished. For someone such as myself that does not depend on my income from a cutting edge machine, I always see the value in continuing to use what is useful as the most cost effective solution than hopping on the endless upgrade cycle. As it turns out, it seems to be a minority viewpoint within a forum that is predominantly interested with what is the latest thing.
I think it is of some value to the people that are genuinely seeking advice at what are cost effective options available to them for their real world computing needs - to be informed that G5s are still a viable cost effective alternative - if their needs fall within its performance limitations and the needed software is still available.
From what I've seen my G5 to be capable of - it still amazes me at how powerful this five year old technology is using Adobe's latest products.
|Aug 19, 2009, 06:59 PM
There's nothing wrong with being a staunch advocate for older computing technology. I agree that a G5 can still serve as a perfectly reasonable computer for someone who doesn't require cutting-edge performance.
But the question in this thread really boils down to "Is there a good reason to add a fifth Mac to a household that already has four working Macs." That's a tougher one to justify.
|Aug 19, 2009, 07:18 PM
Put in those terms, no.
You're better off to take the ones that you do not have a use for and sell them for what you can get and put the cash into something you need before they depreciate completely.
|Aug 20, 2009, 07:22 AM
I do like your idea of using it for some Photoshop work which I use regularly, but also don't rely on for income. That might be the best solution yet. Thanks for the thoughts.
too many devices to list - besides, do you really care?
|Aug 20, 2009, 07:33 AM
Sounds like...
Yeah some good thoughts about how to use it. I am inclined not to sell it bc I know I wouldn't get much money for it. And to be honest , I kind of like it. I know it was a classic and still has some good life in it and like some of the sentiments here, I hate to see it fade away.
I do like the idea of using to stream video or use as a central storage hub. Things that I had thought of already. I guess I just didn't want to overlook something more obvious.
Thanks for the feedback.

|Aug 20, 2009, 07:33 AM
Mike's point is well taken - I would sell it for what you can get and reserve that money or go ahead and buy something that you need now.
If not, place your entire music library on it or use it as a backup server - I like to have a computer running in an "out-of-the-way" place but connected to the network, so that if my house ever gets broken into, and my equipment is stolen, I'll have one system with a backup of all my stuff hidden away.

Yeah the 'out of the way' computer makes good sense.
As someone else pointed out you can never have enough back-ups. Something that I am inclined to believe more since one of my Maxtor HDD's just died.
The G5 is still relatively fast, so I think I'll use it for tinkering photoshop stuff (like creating apple tablet ideas - JK ) and as a storage device.
If I thought I could get a few bucks for it, I'd sell it and use the money towards a newer macbook. My daughter's macbook is the older white one which has taken some abuse while she was away at college.
Anyway good thoughts. Thanks for the ideas.

The G5s are still great for video editing -- and the final revisions of them as you have were the BEST. The 2.3ghz the Quad and the 2.0ghz dual cores rock.
Here is a tip for G5 Owners: always check to see that the processor is seated correctly on the board. A lot of "Bad logic boards" are misdiagnosed as badly seated processors...

Sorry if this is a hijack...
But Back On Topic....
Well, backups are the bomb. I'm actually working with the machine in the sig, and for non-professional work it works just dandy. When I actually do get a MacPro (next year) everything for it (FCS, LS, RAID, etc) should work fine with the G5 (provided 64-bit and 32-bit RAID drivers don't screw up the hardware RAID, which I doubt).
Furthermore, as soon as I can figure out the inner workings of the G5, I probably will replace the highly corrosive coolant with something a little more computer-friendly (Silicone Oil), and then I can actually classify it as an off-site backup machine.
Since, after all, FCS3 was packaged as a Universal - smooth, Apple, smooth.

The Top 20 Concert Tours ranks artists by average box office gross per city and includes the average ticket price for shows in North America. The previous week's ranking is in parentheses. The list is based on data provided to the trade publication Pollstar by concert promoters and venue managers.
LAKE GENEVA, Wis. — Yes, the Lake Geneva dateline is a bit beside the point, but I was so excited about a story Josh Stockinger wrote in Friday's editions I felt compelled to add my 2 cents while on a mini vacation.
Sid Bernstein made musical history in 1964 when he took an unknown British pop group – the Beatles – to America and started the "British Invasion" there. He booked the Beatles to play at Carnegie Hall and later arranged their famous shows at the Shea Stadium – the first major rock stadium acts – and presented the first US appearances of the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, the Dave Clark Five, the Moody Blues and the Animals.
Beatles Radio is at the Mathew Street Festival - International Beatle Week Liverpool. So much to do and see from taking a Magical Mystery Tour Bus ride for two hours for around $22.00 or 15.00 quid. The tour started at Albert Dock and down to Lime Street, Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields as well as tothe homes of John, Paul, George and Ringo. It was definitely worth it. The tour guide was great and was pretty spot on with his Beatles facts.
Author Kevin Roach, who has penned an excellent book on the family of Paul McCartney and is co-author of another on the Beatles, has now authored "George Harrison: That's the Way God Planned It," which explores George Harrison's early life. We interviewed him about his new book, which is available as an e-book for Kindle in the U.S. and the UK and as a paperback in the UK.
This is the story of aging rock musician Gary Goldberg, The Beatles and a lie that, in the end, came to haunt him. Goldberg took the podium last week at the Elmhurst Historical Museum to tell a few dozen spectators about his days in the Cave Dwellers — a 1960s Chicago garage-rock band that never made it big but, 48 years later, found a new audience among collectors of reissued and hard-to-find vinyl records.
A WEBSITE devoted to random meetings between the public and The Beatles over the years is set to become a book. The Facebook page, called The Beatles And Me, was set up "for a bit of a laugh" according to its creator Dean Johnson.
A Derbyshire woman has paid £7,000 for a jacket once worn by Beatles star John Lennon.
Sir Paul McCartney's ex-wife Heather Mills has taken out second place in the women's adaptive slalom event at the New Zealand Winter Games. Mills, who is ranked 28th in the world in the event, clocked two minutes 9.09 seconds to miss out on the gold to Canada's Melanie Schwartz (1:59.79) on Queenstown's Coronet Peak.
The Alberta dentist who bought John Lennon's tooth has sent it to the U.S. for DNA sequencing in the hopes the former Beatles may one day be cloned. With a little help from an Alberta dentist and the power of science, John Lennon may someday live to sing another song.

In an op-ed for The New York Times, Nick Kristof asks how the United States should be tackling the conflict in Syria:
President Obama's finest moments in foreign policy, like the Osama bin Laden raid or the Libya intervention, resulted from close engagement and calculated risks.
His lapses come when he's passive or AWOL — as in Syria. I'm generally a fan of Obama's foreign policy, but on Syria there's a growing puzzlement around the world that he seems stuck behind the curve.
The United States shouldn't invade Syria. But we should work with allies to supply weapons, training and intelligence to rebels who pass our vetting.

Ross Jacobs?
Heard of this guy today and did some basic research- he may be doing a clinic up our way. Seems like good, common sense horsemanship, but was wondering if anyone had some thoughts or experiences with him? Very interested in participating in a clinic. Have any Aussies here dealt with him? I like that he doesn't seem to be interested in being 'big time', and handles clinics more like private lessons- at least an hour of one on one.
I have never heard of him but, my advice is simple, go. You can always learn something from anybody, even if it is what NOT to do.
I'm definitely going, assuming I don't have to sell any organs to pay for it! Although I would rather have a 'good things to do' experience, the what not to dos are just as helpful. Was hoping someone might be able to help me get a feel for which experience I'll be paying for!
Love Ross Jacobs.
My own trainer introduced him back in the 90's to Harry Whitney. Harry Whitney is also amazing.
I've cliniced with Ross, and audited. He is one of the best horseman - hands down.
He'll be back here in CA this summer and I'll be clinicing with him again! He really looks at things from the horses' point of view and with the intent to give a horse CLARITY.
He and Harry Whitney want to ensure you get a real change, on the inside, from the horse. That there is clarity, understanding, confidence from the horse, based on YOUR clear, consistent communication.
Follow his blog or read articles....your horse will thank you.
Glad for the good review. The clinic is in September. I'm sending in my deposit as soon as I can pick which horse I'm bringing! So many choices, and I really have no idea what horses I am going to be dealing with by then. I suppose I can always change my mind and just resend coggins and rabies though!

Black Issues Book Review -
This analysis holds an important lesson for the increasingly imperial United States: otherness is nothing to fear, especially in our age of terror.
In an effort to deny the ongoing effect of colonialism and imperialism on contemporary political life, the death knell for a multicultural society has been sounded from all sides. That's the provocative argument Paul Gilroy makes in this unorthodox defense of the multiculture. Gilroy's searing analyses of race, politics, and culture have always remained attentive to the material conditions of black people and the ways in which blacks have defaced the "clean edifice of white supremacy." In Postcolonial Melancholia, he continues the conversation he began in the landmark study of race and nation 'There Ain't No Black in the Union Jack' by once again departing from conventional wisdom to examine--and defend--multiculturalism within the context of the post-9/11 "politics of security."
This book adapts the concept of melancholia from its Freudian origins and applies it not to individual grief but to the social pathology of neoimperialist politics. The melancholic reactions that have obstructed the process of working through the legacy of colonialism are implicated not only in hostility and violence directed at blacks, immigrants, and aliens but in an inability to value the ordinary, unruly multiculture that has evolved organically and unnoticed in urban centers. Drawing on the seminal discussions of race begun by Frantz Fanon, W. E. B. DuBois, and George Orwell, Gilroy crafts a nuanced argument with far-reaching implications. Ultimately, Postcolonial Melancholia goes beyond the idea of mere tolerance to propose that it is possible to celebrate the multiculture and live with otherness without becoming anxious, fearful, or violent.

May 14, 2009
Demos including Microsoft Silverlight, Microsoft Surface and Tellme help create connected experiences between consumers and their insurance carriers.
What: Helping insurance firms cut costs and transform themselves through software innovation, Microsoft Corp. will demonstrate its software-plus-services offerings at the 2009 ACORD LOMA Insurance Systems Forum. By embracing software plus services, insurance firms have the power of choice to run applications locally, in the cloud or a combination of the two. Technologies shown include the following: -- Lighting up Web experiences for customers (and employees) with Silverlight. As insurance firms explore software-plus-services solutions to migrate applications to the Web, Microsoft Silverlight technology helps create vivid end-user experiences that are browser- and platform-independent. -- Building stronger agent-customer relationships with Microsoft Surface. The natural user interface of Surface creates an exciting way for insurance agencies to break down traditional computing barriers between agent and customer. This demo will showcase how insurers can combine on-premises applications with real-time, Web-based data or a local datacenter, allowing agents to walk customers through interactive life insurance and annuity scenarios. -- Tellme cloud-based voice platform improves customer service. Tellme Network Inc.'s cloud-based voice services platform delivers increased automation and faster, consistent service across multiple channels. Because it is a Web-based solution, it allows insurance firms to dynamically respond to increased call volumes, while reducing the overall cost of providing customer care. When: May 17-19, 2009 Where: 2009 ACORD LOMA Insurance Systems Forum Microsoft Booth No. 1401 Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin 1500 Epcot Resort Blvd. Lake Buena Vista, FL Who: Bill Hartnett, industry solutions director, U.S. Insurance Group, Microsoft Colin Cole, industry technology strategist, U.S. Insurance Group, Microsoft Cindy Saccocia, industry solutions specialist, U.S. Insurance Group, Microsoft More Information: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/msfinancial/acord.aspx

"The Purge" Another propaganda piece from HollywoodSubmitted by conalmc on Fri, 04/05/2013 - 12:32
please watch and share your thoughts.
This movie is about the gov shutting down and all crimes becoming legal for a day. They try to make it out like there will be nothing but chaos with out government. As if people have no sense morality without big brother to show us the way. I was pretty disgusted. Please let em know how wrong they are. Be sure to down vote the trailer.
Check out the top comment on the video as well.
"Many of you mentioned that this is like the Hunger Games, well... The Hunger Games is "Agenda 21" an agenda promoted by the U.N. Youtube it and educate yourself. This movie is another movie promoting de-population and controlling citizens, via Order out of Chaos. Big Hollywood movies are produced to either let you know what the Power Elite is planning or to gage the reaction of the public for a particular agenda, while preparing you mentally for what's about to happen. The Truth in PLAIN SIGHT."

How often do you refrain from breaking the law
when you could easily get away with it? Many times a day for most people. We can break all sorts of laws right now with the government in place and have nothing happen to us. Yet we don't. People just don't turn into rabid animals if government isn't around.
What an idiotic premise for a film, I'm sure it will do well.
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
I saw this trailer last night
for the first time. I was going to make a thread, but you beat me to it. I even went on a slight rant to my wife about how blatant a piece of propaganda it is. To buy into this movie you have to believe that a large portion of people are simply soulless psychopaths who love to murder and pillage....simply not true. Of course if you could get people to believe that (and I think you could) they'd have to go running for that government security blanket.
Josh Brueggen

What an extraordinarily STUPID looking piece of film.
What would the Founders do?
So the citizens are allowed one day to do what the government
does 24/365?
Doesn't quite seem "fair".
Bet they don't show all the people who aren't killed because the government shuts down for a day.
Goog point
yes, lets all assume, this is
yes, lets all assume, this is what happens.....you know, subconsciously, but in a way that is believable, in our own individual minds, good thing we have a narrative to help our paranoia, you know to guide our mindset, we should have 24/7 constant reminders, you know, incase we focus on other stuff, like, living our lives
More state sponsored fear mongering please, theres not nearly enough
The sort of thing which gonna arouse Mr. Moore, that'd be my bet
If he had nothing to do with it, Mr. Michael Moore is going to be p*ssed off and envious he didn't have a chance to get his hands on the script first.
Other than that, he'll probably adore the movie, arousing him, and play it for himself for years, in loop.
"Cyril" pronounced "see real". I code stuff.
"To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous." -- Confucius
I just threw up a little
Most blatant piece of police state propaganda ever made. Is it even propaganda anymore if it is that blatant? Its almost like they are saying "we know that you know this is BS, but there is nothing you can do about it so we are going to rub it in just to spite you".
God bless them.
Don't tread on me bro
More social conditioning,
more horrific violence, more "only the government can take care of you".
More crap from Hollywood. Bah!

For cell phones, it's TV to the rescue

Sprint to offer video, 3D games for cell phonesJanuary 9, 2004
Yes it can, say executives gathering here for the CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment 2004 show, one of the industry's largest. In two years, technology prognosticators say, about 70 percent of cell phones will have built-in digital television receivers. By then, phones will have enough memory and processing power to handle a whole new set of services--making it possible to create a TiVo-like video recorder that fits in a pocket.
"TV in a handset is a whole new paradigm," said Bill Krenik, manager of wireless advanced architectures at Texas Instruments. "The whole face of TV is likely to change. On your living room TV, prime time is at night. Prime time on a mobile phone might very well be commutes."
What's new:
Processor gains and new screens mean cell phones are getting closer to bringing TiVo-like video recorders to the palm of the hand.
Bottom line:
Cell phone executives say new data-oriented services like television will help bolster an industry in a precarious state.
Some of the biggest names in Hollywood and television are generating content for cell phones. Media giant News Corp. is experimenting with "Mobisodes," which are episodes of shows whittled down in size and scope to work best on cell phones, according to Lucy Hood, senior vice president at News Corp.
The Walt Disney Internet Group has expanded its own mobile content distribution business to include videos and other mobile contents based on non-Disney-owned brand champs Trivial Pursuits and National Lampoon, WDIG Executive Vice President Larry Shapiro said here Sunday. "These are big brands that wouldn't necessary use start-ups doing the same thing we're now doing," said WDIG Executive Vice President Larry Shapiro.
But carriers have been slow to jump in, preferring to wait instead until they have built fast enough networks to make watching television on a phone palatable. There are to date just two U.S. carriers offering live television on phones, AT&T Wireless and Sprint. On Monday, Sprint said it added programming from the Cartoon Network and Adult Swim cable channels to its TV offering.
The wireless-television buzz highlights the somewhat precarious state carriers are in as their representatives gather here over the next few days. Though they generate revenues in the billions of dollars, carriers have been forced by hypercompetition to dramatically lower prices on voice calls and virtually give away handsets that cost them hundreds of dollars each. "I don't think we're even done with the race to the bottom," said one source familiar with carriers' plans. Meanwhile, network usage is soaring, raising day-to-day operating costs.
With voice calling all but a commodity nowadays, and handset sales no longer a reliable source of revenue, carriers are committing as never before to data services to make up for lost revenue. This attitude has sparked a hectic push to find new, killer applications for phones, a quest that will be in full display at the CTIA Wireless show. Major new services to be highlighted at the confab include wireless broadband, mobile music, multiplayer gaming, photo sharing from camera phones, Wi-Fi hot spots and geotracking services for finding lost children.
Tryout for new Treo
Among the most notable devices to be unveiled this week is the Treo 650, an update to PalmOne's smart-phone family. The gadget will have a high-resolution screen and a higher-end processor, according to sources.
With the release, PalmOne is looking to increase its leadership over Hewlett-Packard and others in the gradually shrinking handheld market. It also has set the pace for the emerging smart-phone industry by successfully combining phone and organizer capabilities, something rivals such as Nokia have yet to match.
While carriers strain, handset makers are also experiencing their own problems--most notably Nokia, which comes to the Bay Area a little hobbled and wearied.
The world's No. 1 cell phone maker still reigns, with 36 percent share of the handset market, more than twice that of its closest rival Motorola. And Nokia still has the power to shake up the market.
The company is expected to introduce a new way for carriers to sell downloadable software, which will compete with Qualcomm's BREW, or Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless, technology. A Qualcomm executive said, "We're extremely flattered" by what she described as a copycat service.
Still, Nokia is keeping a relatively low profile at the CTIA show. It's not unveiling any new phones, something that's all but required from a phone maker at a cellular show.

NFL Week 4
49ers (1-2) @ Rams (1-2) — Both sides desperate after losing last two games; Rams looked lost in falling behind 21-0/24-0 in games at Atlanta/Dallas, after they rallied back from down 11 to nip Arizona in opener. 49ers scored one TD on 21 drives in last two games, with ten 3/outs, completing 26-55 passes in losses by 26-20 points- they're 3-7 vs spread in last 10 divisional games, 4-0 as favorite of 3 or less points under Harbaugh. Rams are 10-5 as underdogs under Fisher, but 0-2 this year; they went 1-0-1 SU vs 49ers LY, after going 1-7 in previous eight series games, but SF has lost two of last three visits here. Home teams in divisional games are 11-4 vs spread so far this season. Rams are protecting Bradford better but WRs are not making plays and running game (57 ypg) has been non-existent. Long trip on short week for 49er team whose two best defensive players are either missing: Smith (alcohol rehab), or banged-up: Willis (wrist).

San Francisco 49ers at St Louis Rams
The NFL gets off to an early start Thursday with a matchup between St Louis Rams and visiting San Francisco 49ers. Rams spanked 31-7 by Cowboys this past week, the 49ers crushed 27-7 by Colts it's not the most appealing matchup but with the spread for this game a measly 3.5 points the 49ers are worth a second look. San Francisco has had some tough competition and should prevail against one of the easier opponents they have faced so far. San Francisco upended 16-13 by Rams in Week-13 last year won't be taking Rams lightly. Expect 49ers to move to 7-2 ATS revenging a division loss, up it's mark to 7-1-1 ATS off a home loss as a favorite and to improve the 3-1 ATS stretch on the road following a 20 or more point loss the previous game.

Thursday Night Football Betting: 49ers at Rams
By Covers.com
San Francisco 49ers at St. Louis Rams (+3, 41.5)
Less than eight months removed from a Super Bowl appearance, the San Francisco 49ers are immersed in controversy on and off the field heading into Thursday night's matchup at the St. Louis Rams. San Francisco has dropped two straight, including a stunning 27-7 defeat at home to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. No team played the 49ers tougher last season than the AFC West rival Rams, who battled to a 24-24 tie in San Francisco and beat them in overtime in St. Louis.
The 49ers' issues go beyond back-to-back inept performances - the team is under siege for allowing sack specialist Aldon Smith to play in Sunday's game only two days after he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Smith, who has a history of off-field issues, will enter a rehab facility to receive treatment and will miss Thursday's game. St. Louis is seeking a bounce-back effort after it was demolished by the Dallas Cowboys 31-7.
LINE: The 49ers opened as a 3.5-point road favorites and have been bet down to -3. The total opened as high as 43.5 and has been moved down to 41.5.
ABOUT THE 49ERS (1-2, 1-2 ATS): Losing in Seattle in Week 2 wasn't a surprise for San Francisco, but getting bulldozed by the Colts on both sides of the ball sent shock waves through the league. Colin Kaepernick turned in a breathtaking performance by throwing for 412 yards in the season opener but has tossed four interceptions and been limited to a combined 277 yards while leading the 49ers to only 10 points in the past two weeks. The absence of tight end Vernon Davis (hamstring) hurt versus the Colts, while the normally stout defense saw All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis exit Sunday's game with a groin injury.
ABOUT THE RAMS (1-2, 0-3 ATS): St. Louis posted a gritty comeback victory over Arizona in its season opener but has fallen behind by at least 21 points in back-to-back road losses to Atlanta and Dallas. Quarterback Sam Bradford threw for a season-low 240 yards and was sacked six times against the Cowboys while receiving little help from a ground game that saw starting running back Daryl Richardson play only one snap due to a foot injury. Rookie wideout Tavon Austin, the team's first-round draft pick, has six receptions in each of the first three games but is averaging only 6.6 yards per catch.
* Home team is 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings.
* Under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings in St. Louis..
* 49ers are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings.
* Rams are 7-1 ATS in their last eight vs. NFC West.
1. Kaepernick made his third career start at St. Louis last season and had a safety and lost a fumble that was returned for a TD.
2. The Rams tied for the lead league with 52 sacks last season, but have only seven through the first three games.
3. LB Smith was second in the league with 19.5 sacks in 2012 and has registered 37 in 35 games.

San Francisco at St Louis
By Kevin Rogers
The NFC West was expected to be one of the top divisions in football this season. Past the Seahawks and their 3-0 start, the other three clubs are a combined 3-6, as two of those squads meet up in St. Louis on Thursday night. The Rams gave the 49ers plenty of problems in 2012, while San Francisco faces its own offensive issues heading into Week 4.
After putting up 34 points in the season-opening victory over the Packers, the Niners have tallied a combined 10 points in consecutive losses to the Seahawks and Colts. Indianapolis and San Francisco exchanged rushing touchdowns early on, but the Colts reeled off 20 unanswered points over the last three quarters to pound the Niners, 27-7. The Colts cashed outright as 10½-point underdogs, while the total easily went 'under' 45½. The San Francisco rushing defense was torched by the Colts' ground game for 179 yards, including 95 yards from former Giants' standout Ahmad Bradshaw.
Colin Kaepernick led the Niners to a Super Bowl appearance last season, but the young quarterback has thrown for just 277 yards and no touchdowns in the last two losses. San Francisco will likely get tight end Vernon Davis back in the lineup after sitting out last week with a hamstring injury, the first missed game for the ex-Maryland star since 2007. The Niners are one of 12 teams in the league not to amass a total of 1,000 yards through three games, while only three clubs have scored fewer points than San Francisco so far (Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, and Jacksonville).
The Rams stunned the Cardinals in Week 1 with a fourth-quarter rally, but St. Louis has failed to cover in each of the first three weeks. Jeff Fisher's squad has fallen behind early in each of the two last losses at Atlanta and Dallas, trailing by as many as 21 to the Falcons and 24 to the Cowboys. St. Louis was chased out early in last Sunday's 31-7 defeat at Dallas, never coming close as 3 ½-point road underdogs. The Rams allowed nearly 400 yards to the Cowboys, including 175 yards on the ground from DeMarco Murray.
Both San Francisco and St. Louis have allowed at least 24 points in each of their three games, but it hasn't resulted in a 3-0 mark to the 'over,' The 49ers have hit the 'under' in each of the last two contests in spite of allowing 56 points in this span, while the Rams are 2-1 to the 'over,' even though St. Louis' defense has given up 62 points the last two weeks.
VegasInsider.com handicapper Antony Dinero breaks down San Francisco's ineffective offense, "Anquan Boldin had a remarkable debut with the 49ers, but he's disappeared since. San Francisco's receiving corps has been unable to create openings for Kaepernick, contributing greatly to the offensive struggles, so expect their matchup with St. Louis' secondary to dictate everything. The total-deciding tempo and the game's eventual winner hinges on what happens when Kaepernick aggressively looks to force throws downfield. Jonathan Baldwin, acquired from Kansas City for fellow first-round bust A.J. Jenkins, could play a key role."
Last season, the Rams cashed in each of the two meetings with the 49ers, although St. Louis didn't pull off the sweep. St. Louis went into Candlestick Park last November as 13½-point underdogs and fought to a 24-24 tie with San Francisco, as Sam Bradford threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns. This game was actually the first of the new era at quarterback for Kaepernick, who replaced an injured Alex Smith in the second half for San Francisco.
The Rams battled the Niners to overtime once again in the second matchup at the Edward Jones Dome, as St. Louis held off San Francisco, 16-13 to cash as 7½-point home 'dogs. San Francisco's defense stepped up by limiting St. Louis to a pair of 53+ yard field goals, while the Rams' defense was responsible for a safety and a touchdown on an errant lateral. The Rams have covered three straight home meetings with the Niners, including each of the last two in the underdog role.
Since Fisher arrived on the St. Louis sidelines in 2012, the Rams own a 6-1 ATS record against NFC West foes, with the lone non-cover coming against Arizona in Week 1. However, St. Louis has put together a 5-1-1 SU mark within the division since the start of last season, while winning four consecutive home games against NFC West opponents.
On the flip side, Jim Harbaugh's club has struggled to cash inside the division by posting a dreadful 1-9 ATS record the last 10 games against NFC West teams since December 2011. However, the Niners are 3-3 straight-up the last six divisional road contests in this span, which includes a 34-27 win at St. Louis to close 2011 as 12½-point favorites.
The 49ers are listed as three-point road favorites tonight, but expect that number to get pushed up to 3½ by game-time with much of the public money going on San Francisco. The total is set at 42 across the board, as things get underway in St. Louis at 8:25 PM EST and the contest can be seen on the NFL Network.

Just grabbing a bat and going up to the dish to take your hacks is a thing of the past.
I read the other day where the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has officially declared the Eastern Mountain Lion as extinct. Because they have been officially de-listed, Mountain Lions in the entire eastern seaboard are now regulated by the individual states.
As the weather has been improving, I'm sure a lot of anglers looking forward to going fishing.
Over the years, I have always been interested in going to Canada on a black bear hunt, so in February when the outdoor show came to Great Falls, Mont., I decided it was time to find out if I was going to stay on the bank and cut bait or grab a rod and join the big dogs.
One of the best items an outdoor enthusiast can carry is one or more of the guidebooks on flowers, trees, rocks birds, or mammals that inhabit your area. I often carry one of the handy field guides in my fishing vest, or backpack. Perhaps the most dog-eared of my field guides in the one on California wildflowers.
Kevin Van Dam won his fourth career Bassmaster Classic, which was held on the Louisiana Delta.
Most of the time, you don't really wonder how you got to a certain place in time. If you do contemplate "What just happened?" it's usually confined to a small increment of life.
Congratulations to Kevin VanDam for winning his fourth Bassmaster Classic this past weekend held on the Louisiana Delta.
Like seagulls descending on the carcass of a spawned out king salmon washed ashore, I joined my fellow scavengers at Borders bookstore in Modesto for my chance to peck deals.
Some folks think that there is no such thing as Cabin Fever. They are dead wrong. If Alferd Packer was still around, they could ask him about it. Good old Alferd (that's really how he spelled his name) was the noted cannibal who ate several of his companions after being trapped with them while snowbound in Colorado in 1874. Along about this time of year I start getting fidgety and look longingly out the window every few minutes. Although I'm an incorrigible outdoors enthusiast, even I don't really enjoy standing in the pouring rain unless its hunting ...
Everyone has their favorite colored baits.

It's been a year now since I sold my bass boat, and I can honestly say that there have been times when I wished I never would have parted with it.

Claude Julien says Bruins' 'homework is done' for Stanley Cup finals
|06.01.11 at 4:34 pm ET
VANCOUVER — Speaking at the team's hotel Wednesday, Bruins coach Claude Julien said his team has done all the preparation necessary for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals vs. the Canucks.
The Bruins blanked the Lightning, 1-0, in a Game 7 victory last Friday that figures to be memorable for the team's nearly flawless and disciplined execution. Julien hopes the B's can play the same way against Vancouver.
"We talked about it after we won that game. Those are the types of games you have to play in order to win the Stanley Cup," Julien said. "We've obviously proven that we can. Now it's up to us and do it on a game after game basis. We understand the challenge. We understand what's at stake. We understand who we're playing.
"Basically our homework is done. Right now, it's up to us to go out there and show that we can and believe that we can."

Select Local Merchants
Circle KRead MoreSo established is Circle K that even brand-new vehicles recognize what its red-and-white logo stands for—fuel, snacks, and everything else a car might need to keep powering down the road with its driver. Circle K's story starts back in 1951, when Fred Hervey bought three Kay's Food Stores in El Paso, Texas. Under his guidance, these three little shops grew into the more than 3,000 convenience stores that crouch on our nation's street corners today. After rolling up to a Circle K, drivers can pump their faithful roadsters full of high-octane fuel and send them skipping through a car wash to experience the cleansing touch of Blue Coral Beyond Green and Rain-X products. Then it's time to step inside the air-conditioned shop for a peek at the provisions. Rows of sodas hibernate behind glass doors, and snacks, candy, and their ATM guardians stand boldly out in the open. Some Circle Ks also offer the Take Away Café, which presents an appetizing lineup of healthy road fare including Ball Park hot dogs. Drivers can gear up for a long drive with Premium Coffees or enjoy a cold Polar Pop, whose specially formulated cup keeps drinks colder thanks to the family of tiny snowmen trapped in its foam walls.2101 SW 89th StOklahoma City, OK US
El ChicoRead MoreFor tasty Mexican fare, Oklahoma City's El Chico is hard to top. Don't expect to find any low-fat fare on El Chico's menu — you'll need to be prepared to indulge a bit. Unwind with a glass of wine or cocktail with your meal — El Chico has a wonderful selection of drinks to accompany your dinner. You won't feel cramped at El Chico, even with a large party — the restaurant is perfect for large groups. Dine out in the open during El Chico's summer season when patio tables are available for use. Not a popular place for dress-up dining, most El Chico patrons come in casual attire. If you need to feed a big crowd, El Chico also offers catering services for parties and get-togethers. For convenience, diners can park in a neighboring lot. Prices are downright affordable at El Chico, with most items well under the $15 mark. Stop by for three square meals a day — El Chico serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.2900 W Britton RdOklahoma City, OK US
Popcorn FharmacyRead MoreThe kettles at Popcorn Fharmacy would churn out money, but there's no fun in that. Instead, they've chosen to pour out a wealth of golden, buttered popcorn. Dusted and drizzled in flavors that range from spicy jalapeño nacho to peanut butter, this popcorn, which is legal tender in several state counties, fills tins bedecked with seasonal art. Though 1-gallon tins only hold one type of popcorn, the 3.5- and 6.5-gallon containers divide their contents into three flavors, meaning customers can enjoy combinations such as caramel, apple, and butterscotch or dill pickle, sour cream and onion, and vanilla butternut.7518 North May AvenueOklahoma City, OK US
Gulfport Seafood MarketRead MoreFresh fare can be found at Gulfport Seafood Market, where diners seek to sample every seafood dish on the menu. Treat yourself to a healthy meal at Gulfport Seafood Market, a local restaurant. Drivers will find parking not far from the restaurant. Store your bike at a nearby rack and enjoy a bite to eat at Gulfport Seafood Market. Gulfport Seafood Market's mid-priced fare will typically cost you about $30 per person or less. Gulfport Seafood Market has menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — just pick your favorite meal and head over.8016 N May AveOklahoma City, OK US
Native Roots MarketRead MoreStarted in 2007 by two Oklahoma grad students, the red-bricked Native Roots Market continues to supply conscious customers with organic and locally sourced foods in a sustainably minded shopping milieu. Inside the spacious store walls sit stocks of the finest digestibles, including certified-organic meats, produce, and a massive spice bar. The gatherers at Native Roots pluck their choice, seasonal produce from a crop of more than 90 local growers, with each harvest yielding an array of fine greenstuffs, from potatoes ($1) to savory shiitake mushrooms ($17 per pound). Native Roots also sells local hormone- and steroid-free meat and poultry ($4.99?$28 per pound). Taste tipplers can help themselves to a bracing shot, pinch, or barrel at the substantial spice bar, which dons a colorful array of more than 120 tongue-tickling ingredients, from salt ($0.36 per ounce) to high-quality chives ($17 per ounce), with many zesty blends forged in-house. A friendly staff member will happily guide you through the rest of the market's well-organized shelves, which come further lined with select products from more than 70 local artisan sources.132 W Main StNorman, OK US
The Meat House EdmondRead MoreA traditional neighborhood butcher shop where the quality of meats and customer service consistently exceeds expectations—this was Justin Rosberg and Jason Parent's vision when they founded The Meat House in 2003, and today, neighborhoods across the country are reaping the benefits. Each Meat House locale equips foodies with everything they need to host an impressive backyard barbecue or frontyard game of Steal the Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Wing. Marinades and seasonings make it easy for home chefs to add layers of flavor to cuts of all-natural steak, pork, lamb, and chicken, and premarinated meats come in forms such as sweet barbecue steak tips and cilantro-lime turkey tenderloin. The knowledgeable butchers can also share cooking tips with patrons revving up to prepare one of the shop's more exotic proteins for the first time. Less common cuts include buffalo, venison, alligator, boar, and ostrich, and butchers do their best to source any other meats by request.2247 West Danforth Rd.Edmond, OK US

We know coaches who consistently engage in their own personal work are the most effective and attractive to potential clients who are seeking to partner with authentic coaches who are "real" and who "get them."
This is why the Quantum Coaching Essentials™ Certification requires coaches to experience the very same processes they will be using with their clients. This creates ease and flow in their coaching and helps them work from an intuitive and consciously connected place. From here they can meet their clients where they are and co-create an experience that keeps the client front and center where they belong.
This is also why nested within the Quantum Coaching Essentials™ training are four fundamental experiential processes:
