Wednesday, June 11, 2014
For that kid who dreamed of rock and roll stardom since before he was tall enough to see over the guitar he was just learning to play, Eddie Bushs career has followed twists and turns no one -- least of all Bush could ever imagine.
Bush, who has been writing, recording, and performing since before he was in high school, has built a career doing what he loves writing, recording and performing music. Indeed, he has lived experiences about which most people can only dream.
In many ways Bush has followed a recognizable career path writing songs, recording CDs, performing live -- but along the way he has taken side trips down less obvious tributaries.
At the heart of it all, he said, is this sense of joyful serendipity, a vibe that says hard work produces positive results; treating people the way you wish to be treated can only be good karma; and good karma can only beget opportunity.
For example, last year he ran into an unexpected opportunity through one of his guitar students, whose father, Jim Bear Dyke happens to be the owner of Mira Wineries.
I think he always knew me as a guitar teacher but maybe wasnt as aware of some of my other activities, Bush said.
That changed when Dyke finally heard Bush perform. According to Bush, Dyke apparently liked what he heard because not only did they become friends, Dyke became quite a champion for Bush, reaching out to friends and business colleagues to try to promote Bushs music.
The result was a CD called Eat, Drink, Sing, recorded late in 2013, which features ten of Bushs songs and is being distributed by Mira Wineries.
Bush also recently signed a new publishing deal with Blue Guitar Publishing, a Nashville-based music publishing company.
This actually came about thanks to a good friend of mine, Bush noted. I was kind of at a point where I was coming to terms with the idea that this particular aspect of my career was ending and I needed to think about exploring other things.
Fortunately, thanks to introductions made through long-time friend and advocate Mark Evans, a former program director with KNCI radio station in Sacramento, another unlooked-for opportunity came to pass. It was through Evans that Bush met and became friends with Sam Ramage and Mike Krasky. Both are long-time heavy hitters in the music industry who after careers with such companies as Sony decided to start their own company, Blue Guitar Publishing.
When Mike asked if I was interested in writing for them, I jumped at the chance, Bush said. Its so hard to get that kind of a situation these days, especially when you dont actually live in Nashville. This was an absolutely incredible, amazing opportunity.
But this was not to be the only unique opportunity friends would send Bushs way.
Another friend, Keith Vincent, contacted Bush about another gig: Would Bush consider writing music for A Piece of the Game, a reality television show airing on the Fox Sports South network?
I wrote a song for the show that very same day and sent it to them, Bush said.
They freaked they loved the song and couldnt believe I had done it so fast.
Shortly after that, Bush went to Nashville to the studio of good friend Dave Matthews the veteran producer and studio engineer, not the performer, Bush admonishes to record music for the rest of this season, he said.
The show is fantastic! Bush said. Its similar to shows like Pawn Stars or American Pickers, only they deal in sports memorabilia and they have some crazy stuff on there!
For example, one show featured a basketball from the 1936 Olympics, he said.
Its kind of weird Hitler actually held that ball, Bush said. Since Germany hosted those Olympics, Hitler demanded that the balls be manufactured by a German company.
Closing the circle
If one were to pinpoint a time when Bush first dreamed of playing music, it would have been during the late 1960s/early 1970s watching country music legend Glen Campbell on television.
That man is the very reason I play guitar, Bush said. I can remember as a little kid pretending I was him, jumping up and down on the bed with a broom in my hand pretending I was playing guitar.
Bush would never meet his idol personally, yet their lives would intersect.
Fast forward to around 2001 when Jon Vinci, owner/designer of Dillion Guitars, heard Bushs music for the first time, thanks to a mutual friend, Bruce Henderson. Vinci liked what he heard and offered to design an Eddie Bush signature model guitar. Bush debuted the guitar at a major national event in Washington, D.C., and has played it extensively ever since.
Then about two months ago, an odd thing happened, he said.
So I got a post on my Facebook page from a former student, Bush said. He had posted a picture of himself at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, standing in front of a display case full of guitars.
Prominently featured in the front of that display case which turned out to be part of the Hall of Fames Glen Campbell exhibit was a Dillion Eddie Bush signature model guitar. This is in the section that exhibits all the guitars he played throughout his career, Bush said. How he found out about that one, where he saw it, I have no idea.
What Bush does know is that in 2010 Campbell was asked to appear in a movie in which he was to sing and play guitar and that Campbell contacted Vinci asking if he could play one of those guitars in the movie.
Vinci sent him two, Bush said.
Despite the fact that the two have never met, the thought that his childhood idol actually played a guitar named and designed for him astounds Bush.
Talk about full circle, Bush said. I never met the man, but hes my original inspiration, and heres that guitar with my name on it in his collection in the Country Music Hall of Fame. What are the odds? I still get chills just thinking about it!

Let's look at this another way...
Do you want to pay 200-700+ for textbooks per semester (Average maybe 750-1000 a year) or do you want to spend 500 one shot (maybe even to get it less with education discounts or have your college provide one) and then spend 100-150 a semester for books?
Done right - this is huge. HUGE. I used to work in a university bookstore and saw students easily pay 300 or more for books. That could've been maybe 100 with this model, and those savings can go towards an iPad.
Apple's education event was just the beginning
Almost immediately following Apple's education event, the internet was filled with claims that Apple's textbook plan will never work. Namely, that the current $500 entry price of an iPad is unreasonably expensive for schools or parents to afford.
No shit.
Apple is not stupid. The publishers are not stupid. Yesterday's announcement was just the beginning, just a gimpse of what we can expect to see in the future. Baby steps. Take the timing of the announcement, for example. January is midway through the normal school year and months before the anticipated iPad 3. It was laying the groundwork.
Selling textbooks for $15 a pop to schools and students who can afford a $500 iPad may not sound like a promising business model, but Apple knows how to make money and, if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that publishers are greedy. $15 is less than $40-$70 for traditional books, but when it's $15 for each student, each year, it starts to add up, coming very close to a $50-$70 book shared by 5 students over 5 years.
Apple famously runs the iTunes music and App Stores just above cost. They make their money on hardware sales, but it takes great content to drive those hardware sales. Apple also has longstanding relationships in education and has offered education discounts to schools and students alike.
My guess is that in addition to the anticipated iPad 3, Apple will also introduce an affordable iPad specifically for education. Perhaps it will be an iPad 2 discounted the way previous generation iPhones have been discounted for a few years now. Or perhaps it will be a special model available only to educational institutions. Apple doesn't need to make their traditional margins off the sale of such a device; they'll make some money off textbook sales, and they'll get far more once future generations are hooked into the Apple ecosystem.
Either way, it seems more than a little short-sighted to attack Apple on pricing so early in the process. Apple computers once cost tens of thousands of dollars and now a new MacBook Air starts at $1000. The original iPhone cost hundreds of dollars, now the iPhone 3GS is free on contract. Prices come down. Technology becomes democratized. It's happened with Apple for years; it seems silly to think it won't happen this time as well.
Now excuse me, I need to go work on a textbook of my very own. Using iBooks Author. You know, the extremely accessible, really powerful new ebook creator Apple just released. For free.

Apple's education event was just the beginning
Let's look at this another way...
Oh, no joke. In college, you can save money with buying $15 textbooks on a $500 iPad. But I'm talking strictly about K-12 where the schools are responsible for buying books.
It's definitely a win for college students, but the $500 iPad costing less than traditional books is not an airtight argument, IMHO. Remember, a $500 iPad only has 16gb. Most textbooks are between 1 and 2 GB. So, will students more realistically want the 32gb model, especially when they will still want other apps (whether games or productivity)? Just wanted to complete that thought. Really appreciate the article, overall. Thanks.
Even an $800 iPad with $15 textbooks is a win. You're looking at at least 4 years for a BA at no less than $200/semester in textbooks. That's $1600 in books.
But as I mentioned in another comment, I expect college textbooks to cost more than $15. Apple was very carefully to specifically say that high school texts will be $15.
"Most textbooks are between 1 and 2 GB"?????
That seems a bit excessive. I went looking on the net and found a college level precalculus book in PDF form. It was 48MB in size.
The books through iTunes U are 1-2GB in size?
Whoa...we can cuz now here...lol
I totally agree. They know what they are doing. Anyone would be stupid to think Apple hasn't thought this all out 1, 5 or 10 years down the line. Thats how they function.
It's the same tired old stuff. Apple releases new stuff. People complain of the features they didn't get. Analysts / bloggers go on about how it's risky for Apple and how they might not succeed. Apple sells a boatload of said product, makes a shitload of money over a period of time. Repeat. This has been going on since the debut of the iPod.
No one's learned their lesson.
First this article reads like a 12 year old wrote it. Second this is for pk-12 so colleges mean nothing in this discussion. Thirdly 14.99 is just one price an author can decide to sell for 100 if they wanted. Then theres the real question of well what if i dont want an ipad? Making it closed to apple products is just dumb...now mix that with books that last longer and essentially have resell value....i work in a city school district and i would not trust one kid with a 500 dollar ipad or a 250 ipad....i asked a lot of teachers about this announcement and they were less then thrilled and also its just easier and better to have a physical book.....its a good idea just not the right one....on a related note the dauhter of one of the teaxhers have an ipad for school and hates it because of the fact notes are harder to do, reading is not the best either she stated.....this is a far cry from what we need especially since school districts are already poor andthey are not going to want to invest in something this expensive....devices,software, training alone for one sfhool would exceed over a million dollars that is a school of 500
Textbooks SUCK, dude. I fail to see how it's better to have a physical textbook that weighs your bag down, then multiply that by three or four or five or six or seven depending on how many classes the kid is taking... You can't mark in the book, you can't freaking FOLD DOWN A PAGE FOR BOOKMARKING... you can't do ANYTHING. With the highlighting and note-taking feature of iBooks 2, you can see every note and highlight you've taken in an index... show me a book that does that.
I spent an average of $400 a semester on books in college. You can bet your freaking bippy that I'd have jumped all over this if it had been available. Major savings!
Of course most teachers weren't comfortable with it. That's the resistance to change part i talked about. This means more training for them..more work. At this point, most teachers want to do what's comfortable for them and leave when that bell rings to go home.
The admin and politicians care about scores and funding. Many will resist this because it will cost a boatload to change over to tablets. Although there will be those who want to do this because it looks like they're trying to do something different.
My guess is that it will happen eventually but not anytime soon and not with ipads we see today. That in mind, it's a bit silly to get worked up over it. I see the event as a view into what things could be like. Now they have something to talk about.
Not at all. College students would be all over this starting now.
Yeah, I think college textbooks will be more expensive, too.
My wife works for Pearson in the college textbooks division. I can assure you beyond all doubt that textbook pricing will be set much higher than $15/book.
As much as I think the iPad is a better product, I can't help but think Amazon could trounce Apple's effort with the Kindle Fire. I can't see Apple getting down to the $200 entry price any time soon, or having the clout with publishers that Amazon has at the moment. It all depend on how fast Amazon could move. I also think that the flashy interactive content Apple are offering isn't all that crucial compared to huge storage footprint that is needed. An entry model 16GB iPad is only going to hold about 10 textbooks with little room for anything else, a Kindle Fire with only 6GB free memory could hold a lot more textbooks with out all the flashy multimedia stuff. Just saying...
I have to agree with Brian with him saying that this sounds like it was written by a 12 year old. You sound like a pissed off fanboy just because some of the other people on the Internet don't agree with your opinions. The other people's arguments are valid. The iPad is far overpriced for a college student and especially for a high school student. I'm lucky enough to have parents that allow me to live at home for free while I work full time and go to school so I was fortunate enough to be able to afford an iPad.
Apple rolled this out before it should have. I mean they rolled it out with 8 textbooks? Really? Just 8? How many people is this going to benefit? I was so excited to see that they were going to work with publishers so I could use my iPad for textbooks only to be shot down... For now. I'm hoping they will have figured this out before next semester starts.
Just on a side note. It says that if a post contains innopropriate language it will be removed. What makes it ok for the author to contain it in her post?
My point, though, is that Apple actually hasn't rolled out anything. This is simply a preview of what's to come and they threw a couple books our way to get our hands on and play with. There's more to come.
Oh, and I'm definitely not pissed off. I promise.
I'm just genuinely excited about what Apple has announced and the potential that it has.
I don't know either... I didn't delete it.
Found it, it was in the spam queue between 900 "buy beats by Dre" comments :-/
First part was really rude and totally uncool. You can make points without personally attacking the writer.
That's still irrelevant, though, because it doesn't matter that they're cheaper. $500 for each kid is still too expensive. Not to mention, many argue that the Kindle or Nook would make better devices for textbooks, and that's a whole other article.
Maybe instead of the cost of the iPad alone, one should consider the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). How much does an iPad + books costs vs the cost of the printed textbooks? Do the books on the iPad provide a better learning experience than the printed version? I believe these questions need to be investigated into instead of the simplistic "cost of the iPad" discussion.
Agreed and add to that equation the benefits that the IPad is already bringing to the education system. (Search for them - helping kids to learn faster, able to engage kids that have a tough time with school material, bridging with autistic kids (adults), etc. And I believe the kindle's smaller screen may not be as suitable.
School districts only buy new books every 4-5 years, so having to buy $500 iPads for all students could end up being very expensive for the district. I wonder if school districts will buy the iPads or if the students family will have to. Peoples tax dollars already go to the schools for textbooks anyways, so having to buy the digital books, iPads and still pay the taxes would suck.
Apple has $78 billion in cash. They can write of the donated iPads as tax deductions.
I don't see any comments from you other than the two above. Nothing in spam, nothing in trash. Did you see it show up after you hit post? Only thing I can think of is a software error. Apologies for that. Please consider reposting it.
Wow one more biased article from this site and I'm unsubscribing. I hate the biasness in these articles and overall just that more and more of these articles sound like "forum" posts.
Here is a hint: there is no need to convince people who are already apple fans that apple is the best... This article feels like apple masturbation.
Also, a company apples size has big shareholders and high stakes for top execs. When they do something, I can faithfully say that it's not a crapshoot in the dark. Again, no need to defend apple on an apple blog. LOL.
@long time.
Bud, or should I say pud. If this site gets you so riled up, go spend your personal time over on the Crackberry site and entertain Kevin. He must be needing some love by now. BB users are dropping like flies.
Let's be realistic here, Leanna. Apple computers have NEVER cost "tens of thousands of dollars".
Wikipedia is our friend:
"The Lisa was first introduced on January 19, 1983 and cost US$9,995 ($21,693.67 in 2009 dollars)"
As a high school English teacher, I cannot wait for iPads to make textbooks a part of educational history. Textbooks, in the written form, have become bloated because of all the extra content, even though it is usually good. If iPads can help my students focus on the real text first and spark curiosity to go beyond that, then I'm all for it.
Also, as an iPad user, I have already seen the extensive uses it can have in an educational environment. Textbooks speeding along the implementation is an amazing feat by Apple.
Basically giving equipment away to schools has been done before, by Apple, for the very reasons you mentioned; they wanted to indoctrinate the children with Mac products with the hope that when they entered the business world, they'd bring their Mac's with them. The Apple II, IIc, and IIe were staples in most elementary schools. It didn't work then and it won't work now. For the most part, people don't chose what a job based on what technology they want, they chose the technology based on what job they have.
Having said that, the iPad is so popular now that it may indoctrinate generations of children regardless of whether it's supplied by a school system or not. Both my children use my iPad for educational and entertainment purposes and are as versed in how it operates as I am. Simply put, it works, very well, and it's simple.
i wonder maybe the rumor's of there being two iPads this year may just be a new iPad 3 with a Retina display and all the bells and whistles and the second model may be one that can only be used for educational purposes because I don't know if anyone mentioned it but kids walking around with iPad's make them easy targets for thieves and robbers.
This discussion is great......passionate, emotional, and with purpose. Educating today's youth is vital to our country's future.
One thing missing, though.
It's winter time. Where are the beanies?
Ha! I've moved to California! Goodbye snow!
You left sunny, beautiful Colorado for Cali?
I'm sorry.
For the past two semesters, I've been buying whatever books I can get on my iPad for college. The advantages over having to haul around physical textbooks have been HUGE for me, and having medical textbooks on a screen where the images can be scaled up and down has been a blessing. But it's not easy finding everything I need. Some books just aren't worth buying in a digital format. Some are flat out not available. If Apple could do something similar to the high school plan at a college level, it would be monumental. Most of the books I buy have been right around $150 for a used book. Some of the classes I'm taking have two textbooks listed as necessary, so for one class, I'm shelling out $300 or more. By the time I've bought my books, i'm about $1000 deep, per semester. My loans are going to have a couple of grand that just cover books. Anything Apple can do to knock that price down is welcome and appreciated.
Thank you apple... I just started using iBooks 2 for biology totsay in class the whole class was amazed of what I could accomplish. The teacher told use to look up and write down the definitions of a couple of words I did it in 3 min flat because while the whole class was searching through the glossary all I had to do was type the word. The iPad is truly magical! Cant wait til the iPad 3!!!
I agree with Rene on an "Ipad Nano"and think Apple should have prices ranging from 299$ to 499$. And just like with paper textbooks, there will be plenty of second hand Ipads in good condition around (as of March 2012 for example).
Subscriptions could also be a solution : a 199$ Ipad3 with a light LTE Verizon data plan could work. Students will mostly rely on Wifi but as the Ipad will be much more than just a textbook it will travel so 3G and GPS will be nice to have.
Lots of apple and orange mixing here, pardon the pun. Yes, this will work great at the college level, where universities are money making institutions and can require students to buy iPads or anything they decide is necessary. Yes, there will be a cost saving to the student.
At the K-12 level, there will be no cost saving to the student because the student is not paying. And in case anyone has missed this - our schools are almost all broke. Those of us in public education have all seen our salaries cut this year, and you know most of us already work a second job.
Due to Federal laws, if a student were to lose or break his iPad, we can't require him or his family to replace it, so you have to expect the school system to put out the $500 again, and if you know children (K-12, remember), they lose things and break things...a lot.
Well, seeing as currently existing digital textbooks are already cheaper than printed ones (CafeScribe, the digital textbook shop used by eFollet bookstores, has most books at around 40-60% of the printed price), I think it's a safe assumption. ALL of this is speculation at this point, but there's no reason people can't make educated predictions.
I paid (well, my parents paid) for my textbooks k-12 :/ Indiana would go broke otherwise. We didn't buy it outright, but we'd pay around $200 a year for book usage, starting in 3rd grade (k-2 we paid much less). Our area is fairly poor, but most of the schools have iPads for student usage to wild success. Every kid doesn't get one, no, but they have iPads for individual class rental, as opposed to having carts of laptops. It has saved schools quite a bit of money already. I'm sure they will jump on this as well.
My favorite part is this: "Apple knows how to make money...publishers are greedy. Classic. Or, to put it another way: if there's one thing we can all agree on its that Apple is unendingly smart, talented and generally beyond all reproach and content creators are just, well, greedy.
I generally enjoy reading this blog , but it seems like the author checked her critical brain at the door on this one. The recent education announcement is interesting and potentially a game changer, but it is FAR from perfect and raises some serious issues for educational institutions, students and publishers alike. I think that if anyone comes off as "greedy" in this, it's Apple. Read the iBooks Author EULA for starters.
You're right, Apple is greedy, but at least they tend to be a little generous when it comes to education. For consumers, I don't really care about their greed because if people want to pay a premium for Apple products, then more power to them. What bothers me is when there is so much greed involved in education. Schools are dirt poor and teachers don't make enough money. Most of how the education system is designed is completely screwed up and gives money to the wrong people.
Content creators are generally not greedy, it's the publishers that make them charge such high prices. Apple has now provided a way for authors to make their work available without the middle man of the publisher.
As far as the EULA - I think it's completely reasonable. If I publish my book through Pearson, I'm not allowed to go and publish it through someone else. This is no different than Apple's rule. Apple is playing the role of the publisher.
What is different, however, is that Apple is allowing authors to create their content in a very well designed program. For free. And will allow authors to distribute this content for free anywhere they wish. Find me another publisher that will allow me to distribute my book for free - or to be more analogous - at cost.
Your profanity in the beginning of your article cheapens it. I've found that when people use profanity or personal attacks, they have nothing to say.
i routinely spent over 500$ on textbooks in my first few yrs of college, and routinely recieved about 20$ duirng buybacks at the end of the semester before i vowed to never waste money on another one again.
these purchases were made before i realized college is just big business designed to graduate low income students into a lifetime of debt slaver under the guise of "education", and that most all textbooks are completely worthless to own as you can share, use the net, or the library, and the majority of teachers just use them for reference since they constantly change every semester and become outdated (worthless) however i am an art major so, this of course varies from major to major.
btw the average for a text book is not 40-70$ try 80-300$.
i think apples new idea is cool, and its nice to see a glimpse of the future, but i dont see a lowe end ipad coming out, at all. etexts books would be nice because instead of a new version, the existing one could just be update, but lol we all know that wont be free, and that this will nickel and dime us to the fullest extent.
I agree with you Leanna, I think this will be successful. The current textbook industry is disgusting. Because of the cost of books, I didn't get a free public education k-12. I had to pay to use my books, and so did every kid in Indiana. Our state would literally go bankrupt if it had to cover all textbook costs. It doesn't help that the textbook industry tricks schools into thinking they need each new edition, when most of the time all they did was add some small things and rearrange some stuff -- just enough of a change that they felt justified (wrongly, but still) to charge them as full price, new books.
The iPad solution is fantastic. Many of my friends have back problems from years of carrying too-heavy backpacks. That problem can be solved. When you get textbooks from school, you borrow them. That means you can't write in them, you can't highlight them, you can't tab pages... you can just stare at them. With the iPad, you can take notes in the book, you can rotate diagrams (ESPECIALLY useful for the sciences), you can highlight in them, and best of all it keeps an index of all of your notes. So instead of having to flip through an entire textbook to find your sticky notes or go to certain page numbers to find what your notes refer to, you can just go to your index and grab it. Amazing! And search. Oh, search. Potentially gone are the days of flipping through pages trying to find that topic you're looking for. Just search for keywords and boom! The time during studying this could potentially save is wonderful. And this is just high school.
Then you get to college kids. Gone are the days of $1000 textbook semesters (more common than you think). Who knows how much money on books will be saved, but if we're to judge it by current e-textbook sellers, it's around half (source is CafeScribe, which I'd link to but I don't want my comment to be held for moderation). And for most college kids, they could substitute the iPad for a laptop. Of course, not all majors could do this (art kids would be screwed), but for most college computer uses, the iPad can easily complete it all (and for the select few things it can't do, there are always campus computers for use). I could go on and on.
My only disappointment is its limitation to iPads. I understand why it can't be on iPhones (formatting would be HELL), but I don't see why it can't be used on computers :( Heck, even limit it to Macs if you want, Apple. But then it would also benefit those kids that need a computer but would also like to save on textbook costs.
It makes me sad I just graduated college and probably won't ever have a reason to use this :(
Even if colleges embrace this, do you really think they won't just hike up the cost of tuition to make up the lost revenue from textbook sales? Textbooks are to colleges, what text are to the carriers, easy money. I have no problem with students using an iPad for textbooks, but this will still not be a win for a students pocketbook. Let us say that they average dollar spent on textbooks is $300 a semester, well the universities are going to just add that same amount or more into "student fees."
You do realize it costs money to make physical books, right? So why would a school make the digital cost the same as the printed? They'd lose money every time a kid bought a printed book, and when given the choice between a digital and a physical book, both at the same price, I bet most kids would pick the physical just to feel like they actually bought something. By lowering the price of the digital book to at least the price of the regular book minus production costs, it means more kids would buy it, eliminating that production cost since digital books only have to be made one time. Besides, most kids don't buy their textbooks from the bookstore nowadays, let's be real. They don't make a whole lot off textbook sales. But, if they were to make the digital books and sell them at a lower price, they stand to take a lot of business away from sites like half.com. It's a good business move.
Have you ever seen the margins on college textbooks? It's a racket that universities count on every year and it's obvious from your post that you have not been to college in awhile. Students pack their campus bookstores as soon as the semester starts, so they can buy their books. There are those students that will buy used textbooks online or use Chegg.com to rent them, but a vast majority wait till the first day of class to go buy their books. This link from zdnet can show you what it cost for a textbook to be produced.
Dude, I just graduated this past May... I know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. It's more obvious you don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, the bookstore gets busy, but a majority of students do NOT buy their books there. If a "vast majority" waited until the first day, state schools with 40k+ students would see around 30k students in the bookstore the first day of class, yes? I think not.

The Winner of our iPhone 3G contest is....
The response to our iPhone 3G givaway has been tremendous. We love all the new action in our forums and we fully expect it to continue after this week -- which is to say that The iPhone Blog adores you and will continue to treat you right, stay tuned for future contests in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, the time has come to announce the winner of our contest as chosen randomly via random.org. It's iLoveiPhones! Check your inbox for an email from me and we'll set you up with the $400 Gift Card we promised so you can be all set for Friday. Happy? Happy! Joy? Joy!
The air of contest finality is thick and we're going to make it thicker still: this is our final Wait-a-Thon post: comment here for your last chance to win a $100 iTunes gift card. We'll be sending out the final gift cards tonight (yes, it's still tough what with Apple's limit to the # we can buy in a month, but we figured out a workaround).
So congratulate iLoveiPhones (a username so good it's gotta be kismet) and let us know: once the iPhone 3G is really and truly out, what sort of stuff do you want TiPb to cover in the coming weeks and months? Are apps king? Shall we pit the iPhone 3G against every other darn smartphone out there, one by one? Should we continue to bring you tips and tricks? What'll it be?
Update: Looks like we made somebody's day. :D
I'm never gonna forget this day. Thanks so much to everyone here at the iPhone forum and the staff at the iPhone Blog. Couldn't have done it without you guys. Being someone who's never won anything, this is quite a day!

The Winner of our iPhone 3G contest is....
Congrats, there!
Thanks for the wait-a-thon, prizes, etc. It's been fun to watch!
Awesome contest, awesome results show! Dieter pwnd Ryan Seacrest!
Ladies and Gentlemen, YOUR iPhone 3G iDol!
Congratulations to the appropriately named iLoveiPhones. As for future coverage, I think an occasional smartphone vs smartphone is fun, but at the same time we're showing that we already chose iPhone by coming to this site, and I would love to see some app reviews here. So I guess the answer is some of both. Keep up the good work!
Congrats to iLoveiPhones ... of course, with a name like that, it almost seems like the winner was picked by name . . . :)
As far as future content, I agree with Nathan that reviews would be good. Of course, reviewing things that you DON'T SELL in the Phone Different store would lend credence that you're not just posting the review as a mini-infomercial. Also, it would be helpful if you reviewed several similar products in a category and did a compare/contrast among 5 or 6 and not just a stand-alone review 1 product at time.
I agree with WatersWest, PLEASE don't review products because you're trying to sell them or are getting paid by somebody.
Congratulations, it was a fun contest. Let's just hope everyone else who signed up to the site isn't going to drop off now. This site is pretty cool to begin with, my only regret is not signing up sooner and just being a reader of the place. Thanks everyone for all your discussions on the forums.
I'm never gonna forget this day. Thanks so much to everyone here at the iPhone forum and the staff at the iPhone Blog.
Couldn't have done it without you guys. Being someone who's never won anything, this is quite a day!
Once again, Thank you.
i hope that the traffic in the forum doesnt slow down too much now that the contest is over, it keeps me entertained at work. Everyone keep up the great work in teh forum and keep posting about your new Iphones. ALSO we shoudl try and draw attention of softwear developers and get them to start using the forum as a place to test ideas out. A few weeks ago we had somone asking questions about a movie/resturant rating app. WHICH WAS GREAT! i think we shoudl try to draw some mroe attention so that developers can get feedback from real iphone lovers.
I thought I was the one grrrr j/k :D Congrats iLoveiPhones - enjoy your new iPhone. I'll still be getting mine on Friday. I think one of the best things about this contest is that I got the chance to "meet" so many other iPhone fans. It's been great reading all the posts here. I'll have to continue spending time here - maybe I can win the next model of iPhone hehehe :D
cool...the winner is the luckiest to win the first iphone.
I think some smart phone vs. Smarter phone (iPhone 3G) would be cool.
Also is this where I enter for the $100 dollar iTunes Gift Certificate?
Like others have said, it would be cool to see reviews of and news about apps.
Dang it. Ah well, congratulations. I love how appropriate your name is for this contest. I wish you and your iphone the best of luck
Congrats to iLoveiPhones! You know, if you're giving away your gift card, I'd be happy to receive it...
Congrats I'm glad I got to talk to you. I had a strange feeling you'd win something..
iLoveiPhone is keeping and using the gift card, the other person was just improperly using that name. deleted
Congrats champ! I'm still holding out for a $100 itunes gift card, pretty please? I promise to use it to buy some apps at the app store and provide a solid writeup for you guys to use. BTW, loving the accuweather iphone web app - you guys should write that one up next. It kills the native weather app - sat feed pictures every 15 mins, hour by hour forecasts graphically depicted, 15 day forecast. Tough to beat, can't wait to get an installed version from the app store.
wow. And I'll say it again... Wow.
Too bad today wasn't my lucky day, but congrats man.
Congrats to iLoveiPhones. I'm extremely jealous, nah I'm happy for them. I'm crossing my fingers and praying to the iPhoneBlog Gods for one last chance to win a $100 iTunes card but if I don't win, well c'est la vie.
Hey guys I hope you plan on covering as many of the new apps as possible. The most important part of this whole iPhone 3G business isn't the phone itself but rather the 2.0 software. And because all of us 1st gen iPhone users and iPod touch owners will be able to use these apps too the product reviews will be very important.
For someone who has never won anything this is a great first. Congratulations!!!

Im about to build a bullpup romanian ak, and I was looking for a longer, more accurate barrel. what are my options?
Im about to build a bullpup romanian ak, and I was looking for a longer, more accurate barrel. what are my options?
www.K-VAR.com has RPK barrels for $200 or so.
Also, on another board there was a thread about converting Lee-Enfield .303 barrels to fire the7.62X39 ammo. It stated these barrels were very suitable since they have almost identical bore diameter and twist rate as AK barrels.
Last edited by Tommo; 04-13-2007 at 11:48 PM.
I believe what you want is a Tabuk barrel. Search for it on the various boards. There was a groiup buy on them a wahile back, and they may still be available.
* This is My Rifle *
Copes had the Tubak barrels. As far as i know they dont have any more. you can cal them and ask.
Consider this, Amateurs built the Ark, Professionals built the Titanic
Ocala and Marion County Car Audio
I believe the Tabuk barrel was for a larger trunion such as a Yugo. Don't think it would fit a Romy like anrkii is building anyway.
The Tabuk barrel sold by Cope's was made for a 23mm trunnion. It will work for just about any European spec 7.62 trunnion. The difference is the barrel blocks. The barrels lands are machined to use Chinese sized blocks:
Rear Sight Base 0.734"
Handguard Retainer 0.691"
Gas Block 0.634"
Front Sight Base 0.594"
You will be hard pressed to find one of these barrels, but it would not hurt to ask on this board, Guns-and-ammunition.com, AKForums.net, Gunboards.com, AKFiles.com, and a few others.
The most damning evidence is the truth.
That which does not kill you, really really really hurts...
Gunco Member #21
I'd be interested in one as well--but agree that it'd be hard to come by.
My only hope is drgrnr decides HE wants one and puts a fire under someone!
If you want something really different, I have a couple of stripped .303 (.311 bore) Bren barrels.

Scotts Miracle-Gro Chairman and CEO Jim Hagedorn, a former F-16 fighter pilot, has long been known for his outsized personality, but it's his language that recently landed him in hot water with his company's board.
"While I have a tendency to use colorful language, I recognize my comments in this case were inappropriate and I apologize," Hagedorn said in a statement issued Monday in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The details of what Hagedorn specifically said to prompt the apology were not disclosed, but the executive, who took over Micracle-Gro from his father, has long had a reputation for salty phrases.
In an article in The Wall Street Journal about the merger between Miracle-Gro and lawn care company Scotts, Hagedorn was quoted as saying: "The idea to merge with Scotts dawned on him after he looked at the company's market value in 1995, he said, so he called his father's tax lawyer to vet the idea. "I said, 'Bob, I got this f— crazy idea. Do you think it'd be f— possible to take over Scotts?'" he recalls, sitting in the Port Washington office that his father once occupied."
Hagedorn is not alone in the executive suite using off-color language. Click ahead to see more examples of people from the world of business and finance who have expressed themselves with the bird, the f-bomb, or just plain rudeness.

Carvers Bay High Schools basketball team made history on Thursday, becoming the first Georgetown County team to play in the tip-off game of the Beach Ball Classic.
Bears coach Jeff Mezzatesta said he and his players were honored to play in the prestigious basketball tournament in the United States.
It means everything to us to play, Mezzatesta said.
This is what weve been working for for years in our program, to be here. Im proud of my kids.
Senior Darius Williams said it was a privilege to play in the tournament.
It a big deal to me. I just enjoy it and have fun, whether we win or not.
Carvers Bay held off Christian Academy of Myrtle Beach 54-46. The Saints kept the game close early, but the Bears built a double-digit lead by halftime. Christian Academy wouldnt go away and cut the lead down to four point as time wound down, but had trouble finding the basket in the final minutes.
We like playing the first game, we set the tone, said senior Chris Carter. We came out sluggish at first but by the start of the second half we got better.
Eaddy Moore had 10 points and five rebounds to lead the Bears.
Darius Williams had nine points, five rebounds and four steals; Carter had eight points; Terry Bromell had seven points and two steals; Dary Goss had six points, five rebounds and four steals; Tyrek Reed had five points; and Arkel Williams had four points and six rebounds.
Every game I feel like were getting better. Hopefully by region or playoffs, well be ready, Darius Williams said.
Carvers Bay was coming off a 57-41 loss to Forsythe County (N.C.) Day School on Monday in the Panther Classic at Carolina Forest High School.
Darius Williams led the Bears with 16 points and four rebounds.
Goss had eight points and nine rebounds; Arkel Williams had six points and three blocks; Carter had five points; and Moore had four rebounds.

COLUMBIA CITY — Last week, Kerr Real Estate announced its plans to develop the former Scott's grocery store location into a multi-use building.
Occupying almost 60 percent of the building will be Dunham's Sports, a sporting good retailer out of Michigan.
With a store already in Warsaw and Auburn and a new location planned for Fort Wayne, many Columbia City residents are anticipating a positive economic impact.
"I love it. A new business and new jobs," commented Sheryl L. Crawford-Hackett on The Post & Mail's Facebook page.
Nearby businesses are hoping to reap the benefits of the new retailer.
Amanda Flannery manages a business within the same shopping plaza as the soon-to-be Dunham's Sports.
"I am really excited. I am hoping it brings more patrons to the other businesses," Flannery said. "We now have more empty store fronts. Hopefully this will generate more business for all of us in the plaza, and draw people from out of town to help our community grow."
But not everyone is excited to see the sporting goods store move into Columbia City. Some residents, although wanting to see growth in the area, would have preferred a different choice of business.
"I would also love to see a restaurant, but I don't think, with all of the empty retail space we have in this town, that we have to build a new one in the corner of the parking lot," said Tammy Butherus Wolfe, referring to the outlot possibility offered by Kerr Real Estate.
However, some nah-sayers, like Terry Farris, are sceptical of what the retailer can truly provide.
"I don't think it will impact the city at all," Farris said. "I've been in the one in Warsaw numerous times and was not that impressed."
What impact the new store will have on the community is not certain, but city leaders made their expectations known. At the Jan. 22 reception, Columbia City Mayor Ryan Daniel called the development a "positive move in the right direction."

Men's Soccer Season Recap
- Release Date:
- November 8, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
With Hilbert's first-year coach Jeff Panik leading the way, the men's soccer program showed real signs of growth as the 2011 season progressed. Though no team is ever satisfied with their final record, unless they win a national championship, coach Panik and his Hawks should be excited about the future of the program. His team played to win games and physically challenged opponents from start to finish. The leadership on and off the field from the four graduating seniors will be missed next season, but their void opens the door for the continued growth in a strong core group of returning players.
Hilbert opened the season with a road game at Keuka College before they returned to Hamburg for a long-stretch of home contests. They struggled to find their 2011 team identity early on but finally understood they were a talented bunch of players if they played focused with a purpose of victory. Wells College, Grove City College, and NAIA Daemen College all took victories on the Hawks' home field. Against Elmira, the blue and white came storming back late in the game and pushed to the final horn before losing 2-1. Then three days later, cross-town rival Buffalo State escaped with a 2-1 come-from-behind victory to end the Hawk's home-stand stretch. Hilbert and Morrisville State played to a 2OT tie then the Hawks suffered a road loss to Thiel. In their last non-conference game of the season, Hilbert traveled home from a night game at Alfred University with a shutout loss.
Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) competition began with the 2OT home loss to Pitt-Greensburg in late-September. Franciscan hosted the Hawks in a mud bowl taking the home field advantage to the max. Pitt-Bradford and D'Youville took away road wins in hard fought games. The Hawks earned their first win of the season at home against Mount Aloysius in a hard fought battle. In the last four contests (3 away, 1 home), and as the season wound down, the Hawk's defensive players were constantly on the hot seat facing the offensive push from La Roche, Penn State Behrend, Penn State Altoona and Medaille College.
Graduating seniors were Ed Heffron, Eric Russell, Scott Walker, and David Walkow. Heffron's senior season was cut short due to reoccurring concussions and his never-back-down attitude on defense was hard to replace. Russell and Walkow started and played almost every minute of each contest they dressed for their senior year. Their leadership and maturity carried the team over the course of the season. Walker rejoined the team after a year away from soccer and as a back-up goalie earned .703 save percentage his senior year.
Offensive leaders in 2011 were Ed Sarcione who earned 9 points (4g, 1a) followed closely by Russell with 8 points (3g, 2a). Walkow and junior Andy D'Amico each netted one goal and passed for one assist each, just ahead of junior Greg Zitnik who finished with one goal. Juniors James Knapp and goal keeper Kamil Cislak were credited with the teams other assists on the season.
Hilbert's midfielder saw most of the action helping on defense and pushing the ball forward to the front line. Sophomores Ed Minkel, Yonis Osman as well as Russell and Walker played many non-stop running games without getting a break.
Defensively, the core players protecting the net were juniors Knapp, Scott Cvetkovski and Tom Cheney, as well as freshman Tyler Coniglio. Cislak finished 1-14-1 with a (.708 save percentage). Walker played in 6 games and took the teams two other losses for the season.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Scalability is one of the biggest benefits of cloud computing. Compared to traditional physical servers, cloud servers offer dynamic elasticity that allows businesses to scale "up" or "out" based on load or demand. Scaling "out" means adding more servers to your infrastructure and scaling "up" means adding resources (like RAM) to an existing cloud server.
Adding more cloud servers to your GoGrid infrastructure is easy, as is creating a GoGrid Server Image (GSI). Just a quick refresher: you would use a GSI to deploy copies of a particular server configuration or setup—this is horizontal scalability: create a GoGrid cloud server, save an image of it, and deploy copies of that server.
But let's say that you want a particular server to have a little more power. One of the best "upgrades" you can make to any computer or server is to add more RAM. Running applications consumes RAM (as does the underlying operating system). Giving that server more RAM will make it run even more efficiently.
So, how do you add more RAM to an existing GoGrid Cloud Server? Just like the 3-step processes before (Create a GoGrid Cloud Server – Select. Configure. Deploy. & Create a GoGrid Server Image – Select. Save. Share.), this process is equally easy:
1. Select
2. Configure
3. Scale
Before we walk through this process, it's important to remember that RAM scaling only works on "hourly" GoGrid Cloud Servers. If your server is on a monthly, semi-annual, or annual plan, you won't be able to scale your server. In that case, you'll want to create a GSI of an existing server and then deploy a new hourly server based on that GSI. If you do have an hourly cloud server, the process is easy.
