5.0 out of 5 stars a true great,
Brian Maitland (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Straight Shooter: The Brad Park Story (Hardcover)
One of my fave players of all-time comes out with an autobio that just fits exactly the way he played. It's a cool, calm, composed, honest look at a life in hockey, and I have even greater respect for his career and the man himself after reading this. The knee injuries alone just leave my mind boggled as to how he was able to play at such a high level all those seasons. It also explains his style of play that was more controlled (think Nicklas Lidstrom but tougher) as he aged.
Also, some gems were getting to know how as a young 24-year-old defenseman reacted to all the craziness of the '72 Summit Series as well as learning more about those late '70s to early '90s Boston Bruins teams. It was also interesting to note how Park was one of the early voices to question Alan Eagleson's involvement in the slush funds the Canada Cups became (as well as all the other scams the guy pulled as NHLPA head).
Plus if you thought the Toronto Maple Leafs were a messed-up organization back in the Harold Ballard era, wait till you read about Park's trip (during his junior Marlies' days when the Laffs owned the junior team in Toronto) to the emergency ward and subsequent trip to see the Leafs' team doctor (who it turned out was a gynecologist!).
4.0 out of 5 stars '70s Hockey,
This review is from: Straight Shooter: The Brad Park Story (Hardcover)
This is a good book. I can remember hockey in the '70s and it gives good insight to the goings on. Especially, liked the chapter on Allan Eagleson and how he ripped off the players in collusion with the owners. Stole money from the Canada Cups which was suppose to go to the players pension. Supported the Cleveland Barons for one year on players pension money. Park was one of the best d-men in game and his pension is only $13,000 a year.
As a big time Habs fan like the chapter on "hate the Habs". Playoffs those years were some of best moments of my youth. Like Park said in the book, Habs had 11 hall of famers, Bruins had 3. I think Boston was able to push Montreal to brink on elimination with togetherness and hard work. I was real glad of trade in '75, to the Bruins. Rangers at that time was hated in Montreal. They beat us out of playoffs in '72 and '74. We knew once the trade was made Rangers would never be the same and opened it up more for Habs.
Park mentions writing an early book with Stan Fischler also. Around the early '70s. I would like to find a copy as it most likely is a good read.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Hockey Read,
This review is from: Straight Shooter: The Brad Park Story (Hardcover)
"Straight Shooter: The Brad Park Story" is the first book by Toronto Actor Thom Sears, and it doesn't disappoint. Sears delves into his subject with great care, telling us not just about Brad's career on the ice, but about his time after hockey and up to the current day. Interviews with Brad's hockey chums are interspersed with comments from his family to paint a detailed portrait of one of the best hockey players never to win a Stanley Cup. As Sears will tell you, this doesn't bother Brad - he remains proud of what he gave to the game that also gave him so much. The Forward by Don Cherry really adds to the authenticity and validity of the book. A must-read for any hockey fan.
5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest to put on hockey skaqtes,
This review is from: Straight Shooter: The Brad Park Story (Hardcover)
With a Foreword by Don Cherry how can you go wrong. A look into the life of one of the greatest hockey player to ever lace up skates. hockey people, runs for the Stanley Cup, Team Canada 72 it's all their for you to see. A great read.
4.0 out of 5 stars The forgotten one,
This review is from: Straight Shooter: The Brad Park Story (Hardcover)
People forget how good this guy was in the NHL. Great book about this great NHL star. I recommend it

Youth explore design opportunities at Iowa State.
AMES, Iowa -- Iowa State University is a destination for all designers -- as well as those interested in veterinary medicine, animal science and a lot more.
Extension is helping Iowa's young people find their way to ISU with county-based student recruitment projects. Middle school and high school students by the busloads visited the ISU campus and research sites during the 2007-2008 academic year. They went back home excited about potential future areas of study and opportunities they never before had considered.
For example, ISU … A Destination for All Designers brought 30 4-H'ers from 11 counties and one youth from out of state to campus to explore design opportunities in the colleges of Design and Human Sciences. The students toured the Universal Design lab, visited design studios, created designer shirts, talked with ISU students and attended the annual ISU textile show.
"Our team wanted participants to have hands-on experiences in small group settings so strong ISU student and participant connections could happen," said Ann Torbert, ISU Extension 4-H youth development specialist.
"ISU students shared what their world is like as college students and taught the workshops. The ISU students sold ISU very well."
High school students participating in the 2008 Swine-Equine Showdown this spring agreed. As one participant said, "I know more what to expect when I go to college. It was a great experience to learn about the project and about college life."
This effort brought 76 4-H'ers from 12 counties to ISU's College of Veterinary Medicine, Meat Lab and animal science facilities, said Denise Schwab, ISU Extension livestock field specialist. The 4-H'ers learned about ISU research in swine and horse production as well as current issues facing producers.
In April about 100 youth toured Iowa State's Southeast Research and Demonstration Farm near Crawfordsville. According to ISU Extension farm management field specialist Jim Jensen, in 75 percent of the evaluations students indicated that the event helped them consider Iowa State for their future education.

The stand off means that the player could leave, with Massimo Moratti telling Voetbal Primeur: "Sneijder is not playing because the coach thinks that he is not at his best, especially mentally. He has the right to choose not to accept our offer."

1/2 cup
chopped pecans
1/4 cup
packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons
butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup
packed brown sugar
eggs, beaten
3/4 cup
pumpkin butter
1 (9 inch)
prepared graham cracker crust
this was the BEST pie/cake we have ever had. I use pumpkin pie filling in place of pumpkin butter.
I didn't care for this. Like other reviewers mentioned, it does not have the consistency or taste of cheesecake. It tasted okay, but I won't make it again, sorry.
18 Ratings
I think this is misnamed; it should be something like "creamy pumpkin pie with pecans" because it doesn't really look or taste like cheesecake, rather it's more pumpkin pie like in taste, looks and consistency. It doesn't taste bad at all, but when you are expecting a cheesecake and that's not what it is, it's a little off-putting, and so I couldn't appreciate the taste fully. That's why I gave it a four star rating. I bought my pumpkin butter at Trader Joe's.
I agree that perhaps the recipe is misnamed "cheesecake" but it was amazing. Everyone who had it loved it and wanted the recipe.
personal preferences that worked:
I used 3/4 cup pecan halves (instead of 1/2 cup chopped pecans, this made it prettier but possibly harder to cut) and added a couple of tablespoons of pure maple syrup for the topping. I also used a low-fat crust and low-fat cream cheese.
replaced pumpkin butter with apple butter and this was a hit at thanksgiving.
HUGE hit at the holidays - got soooo many requests for recipe. Asked to make several times over!
Made this using the little individual pre-made graham cracker pie shells...so easy and so delicious.
This is definitely more of a creamy pumpkin pie than a cheesecake, but wow! Followed directions exactly (except used pecan halves instead of chopped) and all I can say is that it takes pumpkin pie to a whole new level and was AMAZING. The texture was creamier and the flavor was rich (I think due to the pumpkin butter), but not too rich to where you can only eat one or two bites.

Photo: Eisele/Giubilo/ZimmerAndy Murray (GBR)
LONDON, GREAT BRITAIN: Andy Murray is safely through to the men's singles third round at the Olympic Tennis Event after a straight forward 62 64 victory over Jarkko Nieminen under the Centre Court roof on Tuesday.
From the moment Murray broke the Finn's serve in the opening game of the match, he was always in control and never once let his foot off the gas. The British No. 1 followed up with a further break at 3-1 and went on to wrap up the first set 6-2 in just 26 minutes.
The second set followed a similar pattern as Murray raced out of the blocks to break Nieminen in the opening game. The left-hander gallantly kept holding his serve, including saving a match point with an ace at 5-3, but he was only stalling for time.
Murray sealed the deal in the next game with an ace out wide at 40-15, taking the second set 6-4 in 35 minutes, and with it the match. The Scot's baseline play was majestic as he pushed and pulled Nieminen around the court, the gulf in class clearly evident.
"I played well today," said Murray "He didn't start the match that well. Then he definitely played better in the second set. I had the momentum for most of the match. I served well, especially in the second set, didn't give him really many opportunities.
"Once I got up a break in the second, it was important to stay focused because I was getting a lot of free points from my serve and I needed to try to keep that up, and I did a good job," he added.
The No. 3 seed advances to meet the charismatic Marcos Baghdatis in the last 16. The two players met a few weeks ago at Wimbledon in a late night thriller that finished just after 11pm with the roof closed on Centre Court.
Murray won that battle in four sets, but it was touch and go at times as Baghdatis, a former Australian Open finalist, produced some inspired tennis to make the eventual Wimbledon runner-up work hard for his victory.
Baghdatis, who carried the flag for Cyprus in the opening ceremony on Friday night, defeated Frenchman Richard Gasquet 64 64 in his second round match on Tuesday.
"I had a tough match with him (Baghdatis) at Wimbledon a few weeks ago," said Murray. "Certainly won't be taking anything for granted there. It's going to be a very, very tough match. He's a very, very good grass court player. I'll need to play very well to win that."

When it comes to sanitizing your pool, water home owners now have a more convenient and regulated method available to them. In the past the only way to add chlorine to a pool was to either use a tablet and let it dissolve though a feeder or to manually pour liquid chlorine into the water. These methods are still the most popular but Salt Water Chlorinating systems continue to grow in popularity. Yes salt water pools still use chlorine. The difference is that they make the chlorine themselves. (Taken from h2opoolproducts.com)

8 Stars Who Dissed Their Own Movies

It sounds like Kristen Stewart is over the whole vampire thing, tellingNylon, "Anywhere we'd go for "Twilight" was a psychotic situation. The sound was deafening, and it's thoughtless, as well. … You get a slew of all these bulls**t questions like, 'What's it like to kiss a vampire?' and 'How much do you love Robert?' Then you'll get one that's actually real, but you're like, 'No, I can't right now, I can't even consider [it]." I don't blame her, those fans are super intense. I'd turn into a recluse too!

CHESTERTOWN - During a forum held by area state legislators to focus on Adirondack issues, Dave Scranton of Inlet stood up in a crowded auditorium and talked of how jobs, commerce and industry were becoming scarce across the region.
"For Adirondack communities, it's about survival," he said, blaming the state for obstructing development by acquiring land for wilderness. "We're getting squeezed out here."
As Scranton was blaming the Adirondack Park Agency for over-zealous regulation, forum moderator Bill Farber of the town of Morehouse yanked the microphone from Scranton's hands.
"We're keeping things positive," Farber said, noting he didn't necessarily disagree with the comments, but the meeting was intended to air only constructive ideas.
While Scranton's complaints were cut short, the first public forum of the Adirondack Caucus - a group of state legislators representing the region - heard a mixture of both complaints and initiatives for improving life in the Adirondacks from the 100 or so who attended the two-hour event April 14.
Whether it was boosting incentives for business development, consolidating public school administrations or spurring cooperation between communities, people from all over the Adirondacks offered their ideas.
Good jobs, affordable housing are crucial
Many of those speaking out did get their criticisms aired, however, as they offered suggestions.
Julie Berry of Indian Lake said she had to work two to three jobs to make a living as a health aide to sustain her household.
"I can't work more than 24/7," she said. "I'd like to see more long-term health care services in place."
She suggested that more long-term health care facilities be established, and for more nursing career educational courses to be available for Adirondack Park residents.
Jeremy Burch of Chestertown, 20, a SUNY Adirondack Forestry student, said that employment was scarce, and a large number of Adirondackers were forced to commute long distances for their jobs.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 2, 2009 Summiting the highest peak in North America, will make Marc Hoffmeister's other challenges, like earning his commission as an Army officer by graduating from West Point, seem like a mole hill, by comparison.
Mount McKinley, known simply as 'Denali,' in Alaska's Denali National Park, challenges even the most expert climbers. Hoffmeister and three other veterans will face those difficulties, as well as others resulting from their combat injuries, but he's not letting anything deter him from attaining his goal.
"I started planning this [climb] very early in my recovery and it's been both all-consuming and rehabilitative," said the team leader for 'Operation Denali.' "The drive to complete this 'mission' set the conditions for me to develop the skills I've always yearned to possess."
Nearly 15 years after graduating from West Point, the now-Lt. Col. Hoffmeister found himself in Iraq conducting a combined patrol with the Iraq army as an embedded trainer.
It was April 22, 2007, when the patrol was hit by a roadside bomb just north of Hillah, along alternate supply route Jackson. The blast severely damaged Hoffmeister's left arm, causing broken bones and nerve damage. He also suffered a traumatic brain injury and, as he puts it, "The pleasure of accompanying shrapnel popping out on odd occasions."
"I have more titanium than bone in my left arm now, and my elbow is more a collection of plates and screws than an elbow," Hoffmeister said.
He said he considers his rehabilitation ongoing because of slow nerve growth and recovery. He had a nerve transplant from his left leg and was initially hospitalized for two months. He then received home health care for an additional two months, during which his brigade commander in Iraq called and asked him to take over the brigade's rear detachment.
"He stated to me very simply that he figured, 'Anyone with two arms is still only half as good as Hoffmeister with one arm, so would [you] mind taking command of the brigade rear detachment?'" Hoffmeister said. "How do you say no to a question like that?
"So after a brief pity party, I got back to work and assumed command of the brigade rear detachment [with] the catheter line still in my arm [and] oxycodone and Lyrica tempering the pain," he added. "It was a godsend."
The duties gave him a purpose and a focus, and he could relate to the large population of wounded in the brigade's rear detachment, he said. It kept him looking beyond his personal obstacles and moving forward.
Hoffmeister's injury has forced him to figure out how to modify equipment so he can return to activities he enjoyed before his injury. For instance, all the gears that once resided on the left side of his bike have found a new home on the right. He also uses a padded glove and a wrist strap on his left hand to compensate for hypersensitivity and reduced grip strength.
His injuries also affected his climbing techniques. "It's forcing me to learn how to become a much more technically adept climber, as I can't rely on the strength or dexterity of my left arm or hand," he said. "So my lower body technique and positioning must change to reduce the strain and extend my endurance."
The injury, which causes constant pain, has provided Hoffmeister with a new perspective on life, as well.
"I embrace life's experiences far more than in the past because I am far more aware of the blessings that each new day brings," he said. "I've also realized that the combined virtue of my experiences being severely wounded and my rank and position have enabled me to assist other wounded warriors experiencing similar challenges.
"I feel a personal responsibility to assist, motivate or support my fellow wounded warriors in any way that I can," he added.
When asked what has been his greatest triumph since being injured, he's hesitant to provide a concrete answer, mainly because he's hoping that answer will change in a few weeks.
"I'll tell you after the climb!" he said.
Hoffmeister has served on active duty since graduating from West Point 17 years ago. He's the chief engineer for Alaskan Command/Joint Task Force Alaska at Elmendorf Air Force Base and lives in Eagle River, Alaska, with his wife, Gayle, and two Jack Russell terriers, Max and Bailey.
Gayle also will make the climb with the Operation Denali team as a peer mentor. The group set out for base camp on June 1 and expects to complete their trek by June 22.

Nespresso-style pods now available in Waitrose
The first range of non-Nespresso branded pods that can be used in Nespresso coffee machines is rolling out to supermarkets.
Read this: Mondelez to launch Nespresso-compatible coffee pods
Branded Nespresso capsules can currently be bought only from specialist stores or online, while the Café Pod range will be available exclusively from more than 200 Waitrose stores from next week. The three blended coffees: Intense, Smooth, and Light & Lively, will be sold in boxes of 10 capsules. A decaffeinated variant is also available. Nespresso's capsules are priced £3 to £3.50, while Café Pod (rsp: £3.30) will launch at a promotional price of £2.64.
Café Pod claims its pods are the first Nespresso-compliant capsules to hit UK supermarkets following the expiry of Nespresso's 20-year patents last year.
"By making coffee capsules available to supermarkets, Café Pod is able to meet a consumer need not met by other premium-quality coffee capsules," said commercial director Philip Banfield.
According to Symphony IRI and Mintel estimates, coffee pod sales grew 40% to £43.3m between 2009 and 2011. Its share of the take-home coffee market increased from 3.7% to 4.6% over the period.
Douwe Egberts has launched Nespresso-compatible coffee capsules outside the UK.

I am a Nespresso junki and would like to point out that the price you have quoted for Nespresso capsule's is wrong. Maybe a bit more research is needed.
As usual the marketing hype has inflated the Nespresso Capsule price to help sell their alternative product.
I shall certainly try the Cafe'Pods @ the promotional price of £2.64 but not @ £3.30
My current cost of Lavanto Nespresso capsules were £2.90 for 10. Including delivery.
Philip Banfield please do your sums again.
Have just bought a pack of the £3.30 espresso pods at Waitrose and they ARE NOT compatible with my Krups Nespresso machine. The pods are not as tall as real Nespresso pods and they fall straight through into the empty pod reservoir.
I have tried to use the Nesspresso compatible coffee pods with my Nesspresso Citiz machine but they are too small and slip through.
I had the same thing happening to me with my Nespresso Citiz. I called their helpline and they said I needed to press the lever more firmly, as their capsule is made from plastic and not aluminium. What was happening was when I didn't press the lever hard enough and moved it back to its original position, the machine released the capsule and it dropped right through. I just needed to push the lever a bit harder, and it worked perfectly.
I've just tried my first Cafe Pod coffee and to be honest I'm pretty impressed.
We live in Wakefield and currently get our Nespresso capsules from the Trafford Centre in Manchester.
Understand we can order online and have delivered but to be honest if I can get Cafe Pods from Morrisons then I'm very happy indeed.
Off to make another coffee, see you later!
Just bought a box of these from Waitrose and can report that they are a seriously inferior product when compared with the real thing, which is remarkable when you consider that they are no cheaper.
They are just a worse design in every way. The pods are plastic with holes already in them, compared to the real ones which are aluminium with no holes in (the machine makes the holes when you use it). This means that each pod has to come in a foil wrapper to keep the coffee dry and catch any that falls out in transit. They don't fit into the machine very easily at all and you have to pull the lever hard to get the pod into place which doesn't feel like it's doing the machine any good.
If these were 10p each I would consider persevering with them and trying to put up with them for the sake of saving money, but at this price you really are better off buying the real deal online. If you buy enough of them from nespresso delivery is free and is almost always next-day. Really, why would you bother with these Café Pod ones?
I concur with most of the disappointed statements above. The Waitrose pods basically leak so I get a half a cup with the other half on the work surface - they are the same cost as the official Nespresso pods so I will have to scrap the convenience factor and stick with the online.
I read a report that Nespresso have recently had their patent on coffee pods for their machines recently upheld in law-so i'm not surprised these alternative ones don't fit!
The loser in this silly variety of pods is the customer who is forced to have only compatible pods for their particular brand of coffee machine. So if you buy a machine from Spain or Europe you could find no compatible coffee pods in this country. Be warned!
As on promotion I thought I would try the Cafe Pod, and did a taste test, and I agree with everyone else, do not waste your money!
The pods are hard to fit and the coffee has no "creme" on the top, and coffee is weak and insipid, even with the strongest no. 8 variety. The annoying plastic wrapper means you can not store then in a holder, and they look like dishwasher tabs.
I went straight online to order from Nespresso, also all other so called "offers" online are more expensive, especially Amazon...

Congressman Attacks Proposed BODIES Exhibit at Galleria; Are Cadavers Executed Chinese?
Categories: News, Politics, Science & Technology
|Is this the body of an executed prisoner?
In the letter (embedded below), Akin questions the source of the cadavers used in BODIES The Exhibition. Writes Akin to the mall's parent company, General Growth Properties:
You may not be aware, but this exhibit has faced serious ethical and human rights questions regarding the source of the human bodies on display. In particular ABC's 20/20 revealed in 2008 that some of the bodies were obtained in China and may have included execute prisoners.Akin's communication's director, Steve Taylor, tells Daily RFT this morning that the Republican congressman has made human rights in China one of his priorities after befriending Harry Wu, author of the book Bitter Winds that recounts the writer's nearly 20 years spent in a Chinese gulag.
"It was Wu who first approached the congressman about the possibility of some of these bodies perhaps being executed prisoners," says Taylor, who adds that Akin is particularly concerned about the persecution of Christian missionaries and members of Falun Gong in China. "If there's any doubt that some of the bodies in these exhibits could be those of executed political prisoners, there's no way they should be on display."
|Todd Akin
This exhibit displays human remains of Chinese citizens or residents which were originally received by the Chinese Bureau of Police. The Chinese Bureau of Police may receive bodies from Chinese prisons. Premier cannot independently verify that the human remains you are viewing are not those of persons who were incarcerated in Chinese prisons.The congressman also notes that the St. Louis Science Center turned down an offer to display BODIES because of its questionable ethics. Instead, the Science Center in 2007 hosted a competing show called Body Worlds because of that company's ability to document the origins of its cadavers.
"We had an ethics committee review both exhibits," Beth McClure, spokeswoman for the Science Center tells Daily RFT today. "In the end, we chose to go with Body Worlds because of the educational value and because they had information on where they got the bodies."
In 2008, Akin tried unsuccessfully to pass a bill that would ban the "importation of plastinated human remains" from China. Taylor says Akin plans to reintroduce the bill again this year.

WMExperts may just have to borrow our Samuel L. Jackson graphic so as to allow them to retort! ;)
What really stung? Didn't even mention Palm :-/
NIN Frontman Speaks Out: Apple, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Mobile, and Jailbreaking?
Well I'm sure you've heard about the ruckus Apple has created by rejecting the latest update to the official Nine Inch Nails application. As it turns out, there was no new content added in the update, all that was included were simple bug fixes yet Apple still rejected it. Well now some of Reznor's fans have spoke out against Apple on his forums and he has replied with the following (emphasis ours):
Everyone - let me be clear. I love Apple products and as goofy and out-of-touch as their app approval process / policy is, I will still use them because they work 1000X better than the competition. This is not a debate, it's a fact. The iPhone is THE most elegant, modern smartphone at this point in time and it's perfect for what we want to do with the NIN app - except for the ludicrous approval process, and that's what I want to draw attention to. Android is cool, but nobody has an Android phone. Blackberry is OK but the hardware is inconsistent and WinMo straight-up sucks balls. If Apple doesn't get it together, we will most certainly make it available to the jailbreak community. I didn't invest in this app to see it languish on the sidelines from an idiotic policy while this tour is in full swing.
Ouch, some pretty harsh words for Windows Mobile right there. Dieter is slowly deleting each and every NIN MP3 on his computer at the moment and it's a safe bet you will not see the above quote on WMExperts anytime soon.
It will be interesting to see exactly how this unfolds the next week or so.

NIN Frontman Speaks Out: Apple, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Mobile, and Jailbreaking?
WMExperts may just have to borrow our Samuel L. Jackson graphic so as to allow them to retort! ;)
Damn! LOL.
Apple is very clear on the policy - profanity is not allowed in their applications. At least not until they get parental controls, which allows us diligent parents for not allowing our 7 year olds to get content that is profane. Which also includes the grand theft auto, purchasing scarface and more.
So Apple messed up by not finding your lyrics before; who cares? They found it the second time and now you're pissed off. I understand, but the rules are pretty black and white about objectionable material. And, having been a long time listener of NIN, I would have to agree that a lot of the lyrics on The Downward Spiral are pretty nasty. I wouldn't want my 10 year old running around singing Closer, for example.
Get over it. Wait until 3.0, submit with a 17+ rating (or what ever is appropriate), and get over it.
Aren't there parental controls already to filter explicit content for music and videos so kids can't download those items? Why can't Apple tag apps that are explicit and apply that same filter to them?
Or maybe we should loby the feds to create MARS - "Mobile Application Rating System" to protect the children from naughty words. Games in the App Store appear to have ratings from the ESRB or at least age recommendations.
I have to dispute Mr. Reznor's claims about "nobody has an Android phone" -- the T-Mobile G1 is the 5th best-selling smartphone in America, only behind 3 blackberries and the iPhone. (http://www.npd.com/press/releases/press_090504.html)
Impressive considering it's sold on only one carrier.
Why are 7 year old kids using iPhones/iPods with an iTunes account without any parental observation downloading questionable material? Take a look at your kids stuff, it's actually yours! Don't blame the medium for a lack of parental diligence. iTunes is where the parental controls belong, imho.
And obviously for them to download that app it means that they have access to the internet (3G or WiFi). Safari on the "i" platform does not filter whatsoever and will provide you with a litany of profanity and pornography if you so desire.
What we should all be struggling to "get over" is the fact that Jailbreaking an iPhone may be the only way to truly get the experience that the device is capable of providing. Why allow a Microsoft-like draconian policy stand in the way of a true Smartphone experience?
Yeah that guys a point if ur 7yr old has complete controll ovr his/her own iphone, nin lyrics shuld b the least of ur concern lol, a friggin 7yr old doesn't have any business using a damn iphone anyways, what's he gonna do? Check his stock profile? Or look at his cat scans? If u ask me, giving a 7 year old an iphone, the parent may need to b the one getting a cat scan. Reznor said it himself best, he'll jus release it to the jailbreak community, which is fine, I have evrything from a hacked BB8330 to my hacked PSP-1000 so let's c it happen yo.
As a former WinMo user who recently switched to the iPhone, I completely agree with the assessment of Windows Mobile. It really does suck things that aren't meant for polite conversation.
