MSC - MTP ... again
My computer is mainly reserved for movies for the TV so would like to avoid installing additional software so I have been using WMP. Im ripping CD's to the music folder with WMP (MP3's).
Ive done some searching and most seem to have issues with album art with MTP. Using WMP12 and MTP and using sync in WMP to sync the files to the J3, the album art shows up in the J3 without issue.
However, with the J3 set to MSC, if I sync within WMP, no album art.
Isnt this the reverse of what most have experienced or have I missed something?
I can grab a jpg of the album cover and save it as cover.jpg inside the album folder (on the PC). But still, going back into WMP and using sync to the J3 , no album art.
Simple drag and drop or copy/paste of the album folder (with cover.jpg inside) to the J3 works fine with J3 in MSC.
Or, I can sync with WMP then perform the additional step of opening up the folder within the J3 and pasting in the cover.jpg album art and the J3 displays it.
But bottom line is that no matter what I do, syncing from WMP with J3 in MSC, no album art.
Does this sound right? Or, am I missing something?

But I didn't think there was ever an issue with the "cover.jpg" method, which always worked no matter how the music files (or cover.jpg art files) got to the J3, MSC or MTP.
So your results here suggest that sync with WMP in MTP mode IS copying the cover.jpg file as well as the album folder and subordinate music files.
Does the cover.jpg file end up on the J3 or not? If not, then it is a bug in WMP. If yes, but it's not being displayed by the J3, then I'm baffled.
Assuming the cover.jpg file did not get copied by WMP when the sync is done while in MSC mode, but does get copied by WMP when the sync is done while in MTP mode, then this is a WMP problem... not a J3 problem.
But if there are others who do use WMP perhaps they could comment on your results.
Maybe investigate other sync products. I use Beyond Compare because it's got millions of other assorted uses for me every day (for folder and file compares), but also does a terrific job of keeping my J3 in sync with my PC.
Actually, many outside products (including Beyond Compare) can't run in MTP mode but must run in MSC mode, because they depend on Windows drive letters... which are only assigned to the J3 when in MSC mode.
First, I do not have a Cowon J3 so I have absolutely NO idea if this relates directly you what you are encountering. I have however noticed that many of the issues I've encountered on the Sansa Fuze I own seem to translate at least roughly to the J3. The failure of AA tagged by WMP then transferred via MSC seems to be one of those times.
Windows Media Player does not embed album art. It instead creates a set of hidden system folders that carries the AA information. When it syncs in MTP mode those hidden folders are also sent and the AA shows on your player. When it syncs those same files in MSC mode the hidden system folders are left behind so no AA.
This seems to be a limitation of WMP. When I drag and drop the entire folder containing those songs to my Sansa player using either MTP or MSC all the metadata including the AA shows without a problem. I got tired of playing peek-a-boo and decided to embed the Artwork and be done with it. I used Mp3tag for that job. After that all the files I transfer in whatever mode using WMP show their artwork reliably.
I believe I can understand your reluctance to install more software than needed on your machine. I have had one programs installation interfere with the operation of another. My solution to that has been to use programs that keep all their setting inside the installation folder. I've found that portable installations of this type won't interact with any other programs and can be uninstalled by simply deleting the folder where they reside.
My "installation" of Mp3tag is a folder that uses all of 5 MB of space. It does everything my older full install did but writes nothing to the registry. Now that I use it to actually embed the AA it shows reliably everywhere. You can find the directions on how to create a portable installation of Mp3tag here.
Once again, I don't have the J3 and just don't know how much of this may be of use to you. It's entirely possible the use of "cover" or "folder".jpeg is better for you than embedding. Just thought I'd point out a way to be sure WMP really transfers your artwork.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Of course, \Program Files is not a recommended place for programs to store their data in Win7. In fact, you often have UAC problems when updating things in \Program Files, as that location is really supposed to be conceptually "read-only" or at least "protected to some degree" by the operating system itself, for system integrity. If your UAC settings are not compatible, you'll be harassed to death over ever-changing user data stored in the program files directory.
Better these user settings and data should be located in the \Users folder somewhere, either in Appdata or Documents or similar. That's why \Users has a different management policy and UAC approach than \Program Files.
Even \ProgramData (aka "All Users") is preferred for settings and data over \Program Files as it used to be done in older editions of Windows.
But to be technically accurate for MP3Tag in particular, it doesn't write any of its own settings in the "Registry" proper. Its settings are actually stored in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag... not the Registry.
This really is no more difficult to "save" and "pre-restore before a new install" than having the same INI and CFG files right there in the program directory itself, as long as you know where it is and how to save it and how to restore it. Really, there are essentially no UAC considerations for data files stored in \Users.
But I do understand the convenience and simplicity of "portable" software installs, all self-contained in the program's own program files directory. That's how it generally was with Win3.1, Win95, Win98, etc., and there's certainly something to be said for it as far as user convenience.
Thanks for the replies gents. And Skip is exactly right. WMP doesnt create any visible files, all is hidden. And in MTP the album art transfers, in MSC it does not, but track and time info does. Just the art that seems to be the problem. But I think I did try a simple drag and drop of a WMP tagged file and it still didnt show album art. I'll have to try that again. But it indeed does sound like a WMP problem.
I'll probably try MP3Tag, it sounds safe.
I assume you can still use WMP for CD rip and then use MP3Tag for tagging album art and song name and track info?
One more question. Is there an all in one freebie that rips cd's to both ogg and flac among others. Not a trialware but a freebie ... and also does tagging?
Thanks for the input, both of you. You've been great.
Widely considered by many to be the best, most secure/accurate audio CD ripper around. Setup can be a wee bit technical, but search the forums here for EAC and you should find some excellent step by step tutorials to achieve perfect rips.
Oh and yes...100% free.
EAC does ID3 tagging as well, but like skip252, I prefer mp3tag exclusively for this.
I understand your desire to install as few apps as possible on your PC, but I come from the school where I like to have lots of small, targeted apps/applets that do 1 or 2 things perfectly vs. bloated all-in-one software that claims to do it all, but does nothing very well.
For media players/media managers, IMO, MediaMonkey and Winamp and foobar2k all run rings around WMP. Free versions of the first 2 are pretty much all you need and foobar2000 is always free.
cheers and good luck!

About cover art: WMP creates folder.jpg files which the J3 doesn't understand - they have to be named cover.jpg to work ('jpeg' instead of 'jpg' doesn't work either, AFAIK).
I'm using drag'n'drop in MTP mode with my J3 (for Last.fm scrobbling support), and cover.jpg works perfectly fine, unlike embedded album art.
Apparently, WMP is not imbedding the album art inside the tags it creates. It is instead using the perfectly acceptable alternative cover.jpg method for album art... but is just failing to copy that cover.jpg to the J3 when in MSC mode. Hence the results you see.
It's just the cover.jpg issue which is problematic for WMP, based on MSC vs. MTP. And without cover.jpg on the J3 (or, without the alternative imbedded album art inside of tags), you will not see album art on the J3.
However you can always just drag/drop the cover.jpg file yourself, or just use one of many other programs to copy files to the J3 from PC, all of which work perfectly in MSC mode.
Or, you can manually imbed the album art in the tags of those music files using a program like MP3Tag. Then when those music files get copied to the J3 the album art (in the tag of that music file) will obviously also go to the J3.
To see album art on the J3, you either (a) put cover.jpg in the album folder along with the music files for that album, or (b) imbed the album art JPG for a music file inside the tag for that music file, using any of a variety of programs which can do that... most often MP3Tag which is really the best.
If you don't have cover.jpg in the album folder on the J3, and you haven't manually placed an album JPG in the tag for a given music file that you copied to the J3, then you will NOT see album art for that music file. You've got to make it happen using one of the two methods I named above.
Note that with the J3 imbedded album art in the tag for a music file takes precedence over cover.jpg in the album folder in which that music file may live, if both are present.
Ergo: no album art for the J3 to display.
Of course, if you make your own music files from CD's, you would probably want to use some kind of "all-in-one" product that rips (to intermediate WAV), then encodes (WAV to MP3 or FLAC or OGG) and deletes the intermediate WAV, then tags the music file (ID3 for MP3, OGG Vorbis Comments, aka "FLAC tags" for FLAC/OGG)... all automatically and without your involvement.
As has been stated, Exact Audio Copy (EAC) is very highly regarded, and can do all of this.
Personally, I use a simpler (but similar) program named Audiograbber, just because I prefer its user interface. I've got it configured to invoke LAME to do the MP3 encoding, if I'm producing MP3 files.
Or, if I want to produce FLAC files (which Audiograbber can't really do properly, because it doesn't understand FLAC tags), I will just use Audiograbber to rip to WAV. Then I use a second program, "FLAC Frontend", to do the encoding from WAV to FLAC, also resulting in a "half successful FLAC tag". Then I use a third product, MP3Tag, to finish up the rest of the FLAC tag properly.
I know... if I could just get used to EAC I probably could simplify my life when making FLAC files. But honestly, I don't mind doing it the way I do it. MP3 files are all done automatically by Audiograbber, which I just prefer as a program (plus, I've been using it for about 13 years now, so I'm very used to it). And while the occasional FLAC file production is a bit more multi-step and manual, I don't feel it to be any kind of problem.

In terms of MTP mode, with WMP, album art shows up fine using sync from WMP to the J3. I didnt want to use MTP because, I already had read, and as Dsperger pointed out, that some of the more popular applications dont use MTP. So, while just using WMP was my first choice for the mentioned reasons, I have considered (and still am) using one of the better media managers which dont use MTP.
Just to get it straight ... EAC will rip and decode to Ogg, Flac and MP3 and also do the tagging for all of them, right? So it's basically an all in one. Will it do VBR OGG? Or is OGG always VBR?
In terms of FLAC ... are there quality settings for amount of compression or is FLAC, FLAC so to speak? I know it's mathematically lossless but I thought I read somewhere that there were settings for amount of compression or "quality settings". Which I realize would seem counterintuitive but I thought I read that somewhere. Obviously, Ive never worked with FLAC.
I also noticed that there is a WMA Lossless rip option within WMP. Since I havent seen much about anyone using it, I assume it's inferior to FLAC . Logic tells me that lossless is lossless but im probably wrong. Is it a size thing with Flac being able to produce smaller files at same quality or is WMA lossless simply inferior to FLAC in terms of quality of the output file?
I really shouldnt be so insitint on finding a simple all in one. I looked for the same thing when getting into doing my video encoding and an all in one animal does not exist for all the different things I wanted. So I ended up using several different programs and quickly got my system down and it's not a big deal. I think it's more about me not wanting to end up with any conflicts on the PC because I had my share when settling on codecs and programs for my movie work.

You simply configure it with settings, to specify the type of encoding (not decoding) you want it to perform, and the various parameters which may be specified for that encoder.
But I prefer LAME 3.98.4 (with highest quality encoding settings) for its wonderful sounding VBR results in the MP3 files it produces.
The differing degrees of compression only pertain to the file size of the "lossless FLAC", and the amount of time it takes to produce that compressed lossless FLAC file.
But there is ZERO DIFFERENCE in the playback quality of a FLAC file, no matter what its compression value.
I use "FLAC Frontend" to produce FLAC from WAV (ripped by Audiograbber, as I described earlier) and I've left the compression value set at the default of 6 (with 8 being the MOST compressed). Basically it takes just a few seconds to encode say a WAV file (of say 4 minutes play time) to a FLAC file, on my 3Ghz CPU. There's no reason for me to want to make the FLAC file a bit smaller, at the possible cost of a much longer encoding time.
It's just not worth the extra time or trouble to me, to save some file size. The playback sound quality of any FLAC file is IDENTICAL regardless of compression... since it's lossless by definition. And when expanded internally for playback by a player program it's still bit-for-bit identical to the original WAV version (and sounds identical to that original WAV file), no matter how compressed the FLAC is.
And aside from the compression (say FLAC is maybe 40-60% the size of the original WAV file) the real reason you would want FLAC instead of the original WAV is because FLAC format supports tags (FLAC tags, aka "Ogg Vorbis comments") whereas WAV format does not support tags.
But, your needs may differ. The J3 will accept FLAC files with compression 0 (LEAST compressed) through 8 (MOST compressed).
I'm a Winamp man for playing all my music files (with G-Force Platinum as my "visualization plug-in"). And MP3Tag for tagging, when needed. And Audiograbber for MP3 rip/encode/tag. And LAME for MP3 encoding. And "FLAC Frontend" for FLAC encoding. And Beyond Compare for syncing. And Musifind Pro for managing my 1000+ CD collection. And CD-Runner for playing audio CD's. And [MP3 Explorer] as my preferred "MP3 Organizer" for my 6800+ MP3 files (although I also use MP3 Manager every so often).
I don't mind using all of these individual products, because they each do their specific job so well.

Great info DSperger, than you so much ... and everyone else as well. You've all helped a whole lot. Lots of good info and things to think about in terms of the different applications to try.
Regarding FLAC ... so highest compression ends up with a file about 40% the size of the original?
MP3 ... what is the advantage to encoding with Lame over other encoders, more specifically, whatever WMP uses for encoding to MP3. Is it lower bitrate for same quaility? Or a quality difference bitrate for bitrate? Both? I use 320kbs for all MP3 because I can usually tell the difference between the lower and higher bitrate MP3's, often very clearly. But I have always only use WMP or program included by the players manufacturer.
iPod Touch 5G 32GB, Touch 4G 32GB, Clip Sport 8GB. Rockbox-> Clip Zip 4GB, iPod Nano 2G 4GB, iPod 5.5G 80GB
2012 Nexus 7 32GB, Asus MeMoPad 8 16+64GB, LG Optimus G Pro, Nokia Lumia 900 and Lumia 520
I will correct the original post.
But 6 (of 8) is still the default on "FLAC Frontend" which I use, which is still just a few seconds to complete on a typical average 4 minute WAV file. There's no reason to spend any more time than that producing a somewhat smaller but still "lossless" result, that cannot sound any better. I'm quite willing to accept the file size that results from 6.
Thanks again. Sorry for the confusion.
For example, I have one extreme example (where the FLAC file was only about 20% of the WAV file):
original WAV - 24,000,048 bytes
FLAC (6) - 4,746,493 bytes
MP3 (VBR, highest quality) - 3,503,269 bytes
And yet another example (where the FLAC file was about 66% of the WAV file):
original WAV - 49,243,868 bytes
FLAC (6) - 32,609,920 bytes
MP3 (VBR, highest quality) - 9,706,704 bytes
So it really varies.
MP3 is by definition a "lossy" codec, so whatever "mathematical and/or psychoacoustic corners you cut" to try and produce that compressed, lossy result will result in a different sound.
LAME is simply that encoder which is generally agreed to produce the "best sounding" MP3 results.
But if you use VBR/highest-quality and let LAME do what it wants to, you will be hard pressed to do an A/B comparison with other encoder's MP3 results and declare any but LAME to be "the winner" in terms of "how it sounds".
If I'm producing MP3 (which is already "lossy" and theoretically inferior to "lossless" FLAC in its sound) I want the best "bang for the buck", and LAME's 320/VBR is simply superb.
If I want the "absolute best" (in my mind, anyway), I'll instead go with FLAC.
So my J3 is stocked with both... VBR MP3 from LAME for much/most of my files, and FLAC for "my absolute favorites" where size simply doesn't matter to me.
Programs like EAC and Audiograbber allow you to specify your own external encoder (i.e. via automatic command-line interface which triggers a second DOS command-prompt window briefly, invoked internally by EAC and Audiograbber). You can specify the command-line parameters to be used in that invocation, and you have previously downloaded that external encoder somewhere and then point to it with EAC and Audiograbber.
WMP uses the Fraunhofer .mp3 encoder. It is CBR only. It also does not support gapless playback. The lack of gapless playback, not any perceived difference in audio quality, is the deal breaker for me.
At a certain relatively high bitrate just about all lossy encoders will usually be transparent. There are guidelines for transparency but those are guidelines only. It's usually considered best for each person to determine what's transparent for them with ABX testing. foobar2000 with the addition of the ABX Comparator will allow you to determine which encoder and is transparent to you.
I would visit the Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase LAME reference page. There is wealth of information there that will give you more information.
One thing about foobar2000, It has a portable install option that will not interfere with any other setting or programs currently installed on your PC. I emphasize this because I went through what you described several years ago. When I first started with video conversion I loaded that one program/codec too many and made my only system unstable.
Since then I am very careful to make sure there shouldn't be a negative interaction between softwares when I add a new one. I found portable apps to be a great way to do that. A portable install of fb2k won't disturb any other program and let you try one of the best all-in-one audio programs available.

+1 with DSperber and skip252. Superb and accurate info as usual!
LAME is probably the most thoroughly dissected, most completely understood encoder out there, lossy or otherwise. I personally have not used any other encoder for my lossy needs other than LAME throughout my entire digital music journey.

Also, Foobar2000 can rip an audio cd to the hard drive as wav files and then convert to other format? I know it contains a player. Can it also sync to the J3 or other player? Or is drag and drop probably the best option for adding music to the J3. WMP would be out obviously because it doesnt support OGG or FLAC (or probably VBR MP3 or gapless).
I apologize if these seem like dumb questions but I think all the audio software options that are available are more overwhelming than the video seemed to be when I first got into it.
Thanks again Skip, and everyone for the great information, and especially your patience. Im not new to MP3 (PMP) players but Ive always just done the easy WMP (or player included software) MP3 transfers. And this is the first player that I have personally owned that supported album art ... or atleast that I bothered with album art.
^ re: foobar2000 and encoders: Yes and no.
Some/most all encoders/decoders are already bundled with foobar2000. e.g. LAME is not included as part of foobar2k, but it does support use of LAME binaries. Simply go to rarewares.org and grab the LAME binary bundle - unzip it into a directory on your computer and you are done:
This feature in foobar allows one to use the exact/latest encoder one wishes. So when you wish to encode/transcode to LAME mp3, you simply point foobar2k to where the LAME.exe lives.
Look here for some excellent optional components to augment and tailor foobar2k exactly how you want it:
And absolutely no need to apologize! I been doing this stuff since the dawn of mp3 players/digital music and there are still about 9million things I don't know - only one reason why I love ABi as I learn something new pretty much everyday here.
Let us know how you get on of if you have more questions. foobar2k is an awesome program. While it has not replaced either Winamp or MediaMonkey for me as my music library manager/full featured player, foobar2k is my quick and dirty player, the one i use when I want to:
- scan through new music
- transcode from FLAC./lossless to lossy LAME
- verify file integrity of my music
- do some ABX testing
- and a bunch of other stuff
Getting the interface exactly how you want it might take a tiny bit of work though - foobar2k is extremely customizable and for some, that might be a bit too complicated.
I do not think you will have an issue however.
cheers and good luck!

Regarding the ripping ... foobar2000 will handle that, correct?
Will it also sync to the player? ... or what do you recommend for that?

The most important part to make moonshine is the still. According to Connecting Alabama, Anne Adams has a still that her father confiscated from an illegal moonshiner. This copper still will continue to tell a story of the past in the new exhibit, Alabama Voices, located at the Museum of Alabama.
Ann's father, William J. Adams was a sheriff in Barbour County from 1952 to 1967. It was a part of his job to find illegal moonshiners and their sites. Whenever he came upon a still, he would bust it up, rendering it useless.
Anna said that during that time most of the stills were made of galvanized tin. However, this still was different from the any others he had seen, because it was made of copper. He kept it intact.
Anna said, "We were happy to get something daddy had liked and had kept. We had it a long time."
Anna's father passed away from a heart attack in 1967. Gov. Lurleen Wallace named Irene, the wife of William J. Adams, to succeed him. It wasn't until 1971 that the sheriff's department gave the copper still to Irene as a keepsake.
This year on "Moonshiners," Tickle learned to make moonshine in a copper still. Tickle, Chico and Tyler are using a 100 percent copper still to manufacture their moonshine. Since they are using Tim's recipe, they decided to sell the moonshine in Vermont. Tim went legal, but the state of Vermont refused his request to sell his legal moonshine. That's when Tickle, Tyler and Chico formed a partnership to sell the illegal whiskey there.
"Moonshiners" come on the Discovery Channel on Tuesday's at 8 p.m. Central. The moonshine still at the Museum of Alabama will officially open to the public on Feb. 15, 2014. The Alabama Voices exhibit is on the second floor. The official ribbon-cutting ceremony starts at 9:30 a.m. and the new exhibit is open to the public from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.

It is not good times at Liverpool right now having gone down to Sunderland on the weekend following a loss to Arsenal the weekend before. I had thought that the Carling Cup success would spur us on into a good run for the end of the season but we have not started off too well.
This has left club captain not in the best of moods. "The players need to take responsibility for where we are in the league," Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo.
"It's just not good enough for a club like us to be there. We have to find a better level of consistency.
"We need a reaction and there's no better team to produce that against than Everton.
"It's important the players put in a performance and get a result for the fans. Everyone is a bit down after recent results but we want to put a smile back on their faces.
"It's a big week and we want to go into that Cup tie with Stoke on the back of a win."
Gerrard is right in that this is not good enough! This was meant to a season where we push forward. One can see we have done that by winning the Carling Cup and still being in the hunt for the FA Cup but our league position is not that great.
Mathematically we can still finish in the top four but not if we continue playing the way we are. ask any Liverpool fan and they will tell you how much they want to be back in the Champions League. We may not make it this season but we must go down fighting and not put in performances like we did against Sunderland whereby we did not look like we wanted to win the game.

Well stevie the squad would be doing well if you stopped being so selfish and actually pass the ball to another player who is in a better position to score a goal, instead of taking those pathetic long shots you do. The team was doing well until you came back and thats a fact. We were playing as a team not as a team of individual talents. When other players see you taking pathetic long shots and get applauded for it, they must think well i do the same. Your also blocking other people's talents coming through because you want to the main man all the time. Suso is better than you as well as jonjo and even aqua man is better than you. And yet none of them can get a game because you dont want people taking your place in the first team. Does us a favour and move on as you aint good enough to wear the shirt nevermind be the captain. YNWA
God, are u serious saying that?
you talk a load of crap Anthony, you can tell you dont watch a lot of matches, or if you do you dont have a clue about L.F.C. Stevie has pulled us out of the fire dozens of time with his long shots and drives the team on to play better. Dont know what sort of supporter you are, you must have only watched a few games. we can do without people like you on here.
OH why OH why am I wasting my breath on this IDIOT. !!!!! ?
thats not an lfc fan sum man u or arsnal fan just jealous gerrard is well known as the best box to box midfield player of his generation he was courted by every club in the world and stead loyal to lfc would have walked into any team in the world at his peak , he is a little beyond that now but still be class for yrs to come needs legs around him to do the donkey work while he sprays the passes , everyone dont even awnser ppl like that just tryin to get a reation from us
The Liverpool fan wrongly accused of racist comments by Tom Adeyemi, has no case to answer. The CPS found no evidence at all, will the fan get an apology from the player or media…..????
Never mind what Anthony is saying. He is a Man Utd fan and just trying to sound as though his mouth change roles with his anus.
Gerard is surrounded by those not good enough to be on our bench. They are mid-table giants who tend to run around when playing bigger teams. Gerard may not be as he used to; but quality & experience still count as they do for Giggs and Scholes.
I can't see LFC, with these crop of players, get top four in the next 3 years. Teams are getting stronger, but Kenny is building for the future lol. There is no future but NOW. Failure batters the mentality and today where is Leeds United or Nottingham Forest.
We don't need Hens and Downs, not even an Adam or a Pony tailed Goliath. They'll come good in the future so dump them in the academy. Buy proven players, Kenny, and stop trying to favour your boy's scout members. If Argentina could call Maxi, who are you to bench him over Hen or Down? He has scored more goals than both of them put together.
Why I want Kenny sacked is because he always talk about us not having luck. Is Barca world best club by luck? Did we win at Istanbul by luck? Did Arsenal Immortals go through the season by luck? So lets LFC sack Kenny and find a coach with more luck to provide us with.
The level of delusion amongst our fans is ridiculous… Dalglish is a below ave manager at best and the quality of talent he and Comoli have brought in is utter trash! I expect at 10th – 12th place finsih at best (although I had predicted 7th at the beginning of the season based on his idiotic summer signings and the fact that he forced our 2 most creative midfielders out of the club) Dalglish has his head in the sand and needs to be fired now!
I aint no man u fan. I,ll believe gerrard actually believes his own hype. What has he contributed to over the last 4yrs F**K ALL. He gets ridiculous amounts of money for being consistently injured and when is bk he does nothing but take pathetic long shots from distance when thier are people in better scoring opportunities. He is so far up is own arse its unbelievable. Take a few seasons bk when him and torres were injured and everyone was saying we are a two man team. We finished second and that was all down to lucas and kuyt and gerrard had the cheeck to come out and state that if it weren't for him and torres we wouldn't of finished in that position when was injured for more than half it. Its about time certain people started opening thier f**king eyes as he,s nothing more than a glory boy. So basically what your saying is i cant have an opinion because dont agree with you and i dont like gerrard. And yes am a scouser and yes am a season ticket holder. What are you?
Oh the 08/09 season where Gerrard and Torres did nothing. Was that imaginary. Gerrard had 16 league goals and Torres had 14 in 24. Of course you're a fan, of Everton maybe.
What exactly did Lucas do that season that got us 2nd?
ur a lyin bollox with fked up views and ur not wanted on a lfc site now fuck off u mank cunt
Believe it or not people am not the only liverpool fan who believes gerrard is past it. YNWA
It's sad to see you blaming Gerrard for the bad results. Steven Gerrard is one of the greatest football players ever lived, and some people don't realise what a unique player he is. He doesn't play the style of Messi or Ronaldo but he is the ultimate box-to-box player. Summing up his qualities would bring me too far. To the People who write him off already: You don't have a clue about football. A player can have a difficult time after a long injury but if you know Gerrard you know he's not past his peak. I'm sure that he will be back at his best at the EC 2012.
The only problem at Liverpool is the person whose name begins with a K and rhymes with fish. Bring Back Rafa!
he is past his peak just gerrard peak is so fuckin high he is still world class for yrs to come he is 31 needs to alter his game still love him to bits as a player for all he done for lfc living legend
while I agree with anthony that Gerrard is past his prime,he's the biggest f***king idiot if he thinks Lucas contibuted more than Gerrard during the season we finished second. Lucas was still getting booed at ocassionally during games in that season. or maybe he's just one of many manc scum trolling Liverpool fan sitessites.
Anthony is a fucking idiot i have ever seen in d world of football. Infact i can bet my life that he is not a liverpool fan,he is one of those Howard webious man utd or arsenal fans i hate 2 fuck around with down here in nigeria. I cant even trade Gerrard for any oda box to box midfielder in d world ,even d best striker,even in 38 there would be only one steven Gerrard so fuck off Anthony d animal

The Craftsman style Cannondale house plan is perfect for those who love to entertain. Informal gatherings can be held in the spacious, naturally lit great room. The corner fireplace makes a cozy place for family and friends. For more formal gatherings the separate dining room can be accessed from the entry hall or the kitchen. If groups decide to break off from the main area a generous recreation room is off the main living area. The owners' suite is separated from the other bedrooms and serves as a quite retreat.
The Southwest style Noranda is a large and stately brick house plan. The corner quoins reinforce the image of permanence while the arched stepped-brick entryway and the herringbone-patterned chimney inset adds eye-catching appeal.
A variety of group living environments are found on the main floor, with the great room being the largest. Windowed front and back, it has a hardwood floor, a lofty 12-foot ceiling, and a fireplace. Double doors open to a partially covered patio.
Kitchen and dining room flow together, separated by a wall section and the eating bar. The dining room is spacious, and the vaulted ceiling makes it feel even larger. This room, too, features a fireplace and double-door access to the patio.
Tile covers the floor of a kitchen with ample room for a team of cooks to work together. The utility room and pantry are just around the corner, in a long passageway that connects the kitchen to the three-car garage. The full bathroom at the end of this hallway is nice for garage access. It's also convenient to a guest suite.
Den, library hall and owners' suite nestle together in the quiet wing to the right of the great room. Shelving fills the library hall. Luxury amenities in the vaulted owners' suite include a large walk-in closet and a plush private bathroom.
Two large bedrooms are upstairs, where they share a centrally located shower. Each bedroom has its own private toilet and lav. A separate second floor accessible only from the garage provides storage.
Wooden shutters, columns and keystone arches give a classic European look to the two-story Gerabaldi house plan. Stucco columns and exterior is common of homes near the Mediterranean Sea.
Family living areas are on the main floor, and link to the three-car garage through a mudroom, featuring storage and a built-in bench for removing and storing shoes and backpacks. Four large bedrooms are upstairs, along with a laundry room, three bathrooms, storage closets and a bonus room.
An arched opening leads from the sidewalk onto the vaulted porch. The arched transom there crowns a door flanked by sidelights. Natural light spills into the partially two-story entry through those windows, and more light washes down through a multipaned window on the upper level.
On the right, an arch provides access to a living room expanded by a bay window. On the left, double doors open into a room that could be a study, home office, or hobby room. Family living spaces - kitchen, nook and family room - flow together, filling the back of the home.
An eating bar rims one edge of a cook top work island centered in the large kitchen. Counters and cupboards wrap around two sides of the kitchen, and a walk-in pantry fits into one corner.
Wide windows line the rear wall. One of the nook's windows is an atrium door that accesses the patio. A built-in desk is located in an alcove at the juncture of the nook and family room.
The owners' suite features a walk-in shower, dual vanity, private toilet and a large walk-in closet.
The Lakeview is a vacation home designed to allow full advantage of a panoramic view. Built on beach or lakefront land, this Cape Cod style home lets you continue to enjoy the out-of-doors even when you have to come inside.
Stacks of glass fill most of the wall space on 3 sides of the vaulted great room. French doors on both sides provide cross-ventilation and open onto a covered wrap around porch that frames this dramatic living area.
A large see through fireplace separates the great room from the dining room and serves as a warm focal point. The ceiling in front of the fireplace is two stories high. The hearth is overlooked from vantage points on either side of the chimney that stretches upward by the second-floor loft. Outfitted with bunks, the second floor loft can provide additional sleeping space when needed.
The U-shaped kitchen is brightened by a bay window and offers plenty of counter space. A compact, stacking washer/dryer combination is nestled in an alcove under the stairs. Sliding doors open onto a small back deck shaded by a wooden arbor. This area could be screened if desired. A storage area is conveniently located off the deck.
Both the Lakeview's lower and upper bedrooms have walk-in closets and full bathrooms. The upper bathroom is slightly larger and has a corner shower. The compartmentalized lower bathroom allows one person to perform grooming activities at the sink while another uses the tub or toilet.
By the time many people are ready to build their dream home, they've pored over hundreds of pages throughout dozens of interior design magazines, imagining countless custom treatments. And, while it's tempting to admire pictures of beautifully designed rooms, the true test of a top quality home begins with the details of a custom floor plan.
Every family is unique and a custom home designed specifically for a family's lifestyle can create an unparalleled living experience. From the home's entrance into the main living spaces, to the kitchen and dining configuration, or mudroom-utility and garage transition, the right floor plan can increase a family's convenience and overall quality of life.
Rick McAlexander, president and owner of Associated Designs in Eugene, Oregon, believes that a family who chooses to build their own home should carefully pick their house plan designer. Working with an experienced designer can prevent costly mistakes or serious problems after construction begins and ultimately offer a very special place the family is happy to call home.
"I find that my clients initially underestimate the complexity of building a home and are usually surprised to learn what it takes to be an expert in this field. After designing thousands of homes, I've come to realize how important it is for a homeowner to feel comfortable with their designer before the process even begins," says Rick.
Homeowners must do their own thorough research before choosing a designer for such a big investment as a home. Some may search on the Internet for a construction professional, but that may not be the best approach. A smart looking website does not necessarily equal an experienced home designer. To assist homeowners in the process of choosing a designer, Rick McAlexander encourages homeowners to consider six key characteristics before hiring a qualified professional.
Personality - Designing a home is a very personal project and the designer will be working closely with the homeowner. Many conversations involve a family's day to day living experience, which should be an enjoyable and comfortable experience. It's important for the client to like the designer as they interpret the family's goals and create a design that delights everyone involved.
Experience - How many projects has the designer completed of a similar nature to the one at hand? This is a different criteria than how long a designer has been in business. Someone who has experience designing office buildings or hospitals will not have the same set of skills as one who has focused their practice on residential design. Also, a designer whose primary focus has been entry level production housing may not have the skills required for an estate-sized home, while the reverse is also true.
Reputation - Obtain a list of references, including past clients and construction professionals. Inquire about the designer's history of delivering projects within the time frame promised and whether the client felt the fees were fair. Check with contractors about the quality of the construction documents, as well as how easy it was to follow blueprints. Did the designer promptly and effectively respond to questions that came up during construction? Check with the building department that will be issuing your permits to see if they are willing to discuss their experience with a specific building designer. Clients who take a thorough approach to checking a designer's record are ones most likely to have their home built on time and on budget.
Design philosophy - Some designers prefer a "you dream it, we draw it" style of communication. Others feel their experience dictates what's best for the client in a home's design, based on the designer's interpretation of the goals. Does the designer exhibit a more collaborative style, helping to educate and advise a client while maintaining a flexible approach to the floor plan, allowing for input and personal preferences? Which of these styles will best fit a client's own communication style and comfort level?
Level of service provided - Designers run the gamut from "drafter" to "full service". A drafter simply uses a general floor plan and draws a set of plans, typically the minimum required to obtain a building permit. The full service designer will provide a custom approach, staying involved in the project from initial design concept through completion, providing assistance in all phases of construction. Many designers work somewhere in between, providing complete plan sets with enough detail for the contractor to confidently build, while allowing for consulting when needed throughout the construction process.
Costs - The original design is not the place to cut corners. How does the designer charge for services? Designers charge in a variety of ways, but most common are hourly, cost per square foot, or a percentage of construction costs. Normally the rates are commensurate with the level of experience, complexity of the project and service provided. The design is the most critical element of a successful project and worth the time and attention to this detail. Saving a few dollars by rushing a project or choosing the cheapest plan source could compromise the entire project. It is common for more money to be spent on the site preparation and home's foundation than the design. However, to get a good foundation requires a good plan. The most meticulously detailed and expertly constructed design will be a disappointment if it does not meet a family's lifestyle goals.
"Choosing a good designer is the most critical phase of the entire new home construction process," says Rick McAlexander. "Working with an experienced, professional designer should be a pleasure and result in a beautiful dream home that brings joy to the whole family for years to come," he added.

Completely surrounded by a wrap around covered porch the Madrone ranch style house plan is well suited for country living. The front door is understated but welcoming as you step inside you are greeted by a wood stove in the vaulted living room. The generous sized kitchen flows into the utility/mud hall where there is plenty of storage and a large walk-in pantry. A hall way runs through the middle of the home and takes you to the bedrooms with the owners' suite at the end.
The Macon is visually appealing. This European house plan features half-timbers that accent a vaulted porch, set off by the stone veneer next to it. The porch frames an impressive entry flanked by sidelights and crowned with a fanlight. Curved trim boards and varied window treatments add to this stunning design.
With nearly 3,000 square feet of living space the spacious interior is perfect for entertaining, as well as day-to-day living. The living room and dining room can be formal, if desired, while the family room and den can easily cater to more individual family preferences. The den could serve as a home office or another bedroom.
The vaulted dining room and living room are richly windowed. In the living room, wide shelves and cabinets fill the walls beside a fireplace. Three fanlights cap the French doors and multipaned windows in this elegant, high-ceilinged space.
Open to the kitchen, the family room has a second fireplace and offers patio access on two sides. Twin window seats create cozy spaces by the rear-facing French doors. Kitchen features include: a T-shaped work island with prep sink, built-in appliances, and two pantries.
Utilities and a large combination guest/hobby room are close. Natural light spills in over the desk nestled into the window bay, creating an ideal area for sewing or other crafts.
An even wider bay window expands the Macon's owners' suite. Luxury features include: two walk-in closets, patio access, and a large bathroom with oversize shower, spa tub, two vanities and an enclosed water closet.

By the 18th century, houses in the Cape Cod area had evolved to provide compact and spacious housing for the severe and confining New England winters. Shingle siding adds to the visual appeal of the Hanover, an update of this quintessential American home style.
The 2-story symmetrical front façade is typical of Cape Cod styling. However the front porch, glassed door insets and sidelites are more in line with current trends, as is the floor plan.
Once inside, straight ahead, a stairway to the second level runs up the right side of the foyer, while the left half flows on to the main floor dining area and kitchen. A large living room with a fireplace is through an opening on the foyer's left.
An opening on the opposite wall accesses the right wing, which comprises a den, a guest bathroom, and a mudroom. Cabinetry and a counter with a deep sink run along one side of this handy mudroom, along with an upright freezer. At the rear, is the dining area and kitchen.
A flush eating bar rims the work island that bounds the otherwise L-shaped kitchen. Sliding glass doors open onto a partially covered patio.
Four bedrooms, a playroom, utility room, and two bathrooms are upstairs. Both bathrooms have dual vanities. The owners' bathroom has an oversized shower and a large walk-in closet, while the other bathroom features a combination tub and shower.
Having the Hanover's utility room on the second floor puts it in convenient to the sources of most laundry. Built-in cabinets and a long counter make for ease of processing towels, sheets, clothing and the like.
People who enjoy entertaining will be impressed with the Barnhart's capacity for handling large gatherings in this Craftsman lodge-style gem.
Depending on the weather, people can congregate in the vaulted great room, kitchen, and the vaulted patio. Both the great room and patio have wood-burning fireplaces that serve as inviting focal points, plus the kitchen has a curved-edge eating bar that can double as a buffet.
The formal dining room is on the right of the vaulted foyer makes an elegant impression. Natural light flows in through a wide front window, while the deep butler's pantry keeps additional food handy and out of sight. On the opposite side of the foyer, the vaulted den is in a great location for a home office.
Covered walkways and patios wrap around three sides of the house. These add even more room for outdoor living, and will be particularly appreciated if the house is built in excessively rainy or sunny climates. Standing at the kitchen sink, you can look out across the covered patio, and enjoy watching seasonal changes in the landscape.
Down a hallway to the right, doors open into a luxurious owners' suite that fills much of the right wing. Its two large walk-in closets feature built-in dressers. The bathroom boasts heated tile floors, a deep soaking tub, and walk-in shower. And it's all conveniently close to the door that leads to the large hot tub on the covered deck outside.
The hallway to the owners' suite is lined with storage cabinets and runs past a small guest bathroom and an extra large utility room. A bunk room, TV loft and bedroom suite are located upstairs.
The two-story Kentland is a well-separated, duplex with garages providing privacy between the units. Except for the shared garage wall, each unit has the feel of a single-family home, and the look of a country Craftsman cottage.
Unit A is a mirror image of Unit B, so the description of one applies equally to each other. The wide covered porch across the front creates an inviting look, while also providing a space for enjoying the outdoors. In summer, a porch swing or a couple of chairs could be added to make it more enjoyable.
Inside, the entry opens out into a combination living and dining room on one side, and a powder room hides behind a pocket door on the opposite side. The entry's coat closet is right there as well.
Light flows into the large gathering space through windows that fill most of the front and rear walls, and more washes in through another wide window on the side. The windows at the back slide open to a covered patio, great for outdoor dining when tempatures allow. This patio could also be screened.
The kitchen is partially open to the dining room, and is large. Counters, cupboards, and built-in appliances are on all four sides. Standing at the kitchen sink, you can easily keep an eye on the back yard.
Three bedrooms are located upstairs, where they share a two-section bathroom. The owners' suite has a large walk-in closet and direct entry to the bathroom.
Each of the Kentland's garages has two entry doors: one that opens to the kitchen, and another that opens to the back yard.
The A-frame Eagle Rock house plan is designed for a sloped view lot and provides opportunies to expand living space. The lower level features a 2 car garage along with plenty of unfinished area along with room for a future full bathroom. Up the stairs to the main level you are greeted with a rich window display in the v-shaped great room to take in all the view the outside has to offer. A wood stove is tucked into the corner of the great room, and a spiral staircase leads you to a vaulted loft.
The ranch-style Kensington house plan was designed for construction on a lot that slopes down at the rear, but it can easily be altered for a level site. The main difference plays out at the rear deck, which would be elevated over a downward slope, but at ground level otherwise.
Shingles fill the upper sections of three gables that add to the overall country feel ambiance. The Craftsman windows across the front facade include a row of small panes at the top of the front door. Slender wooden columns set on handsome stone veneer bases highlight the gabled porch entrance.
A living room with a fireplace fills the right side of the wide open great room. The dining room is open to the living room, and partially open to the kitchen across a work island rimmed with a curved eating bar. Sliding glass doors in the dining area open onto a railed and covered deck that is vaulted.
Standing at the kitchen sink you can keep an eye on the great room and deck, or gaze at the yard beyond. Counters line three sides of the kitchen. Storage is generous, running over and under the counters on two sides, as well as under the work island. The pantry fills one entire corner. Laundry appliances are nearby, in a pass-through utility room to the garage access.
Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are down a hallway to the right of the entry, while the owners' suite is down the other side. Owners' suite amenities include a walk-in closet, a bathroom with dual vanity, oversized shower, and private toilet. The deck access will be very appreciated if the owners install a hot tub out there.
This two story garage plan has two 10' wide by 10' tall garage doors and can house 2 cars. In the back a door separates the main garage from a powder room, storage room and stairs that lead to the attic. Continue through the hall another door will lead you to a vaulted greenhouse with a sink and workbench.
For many people, owning a big home with a spacious back yard in a neighborhood of similarly sized dwellings is still the ultimate symbol of achieving the "American Dream". However, more attention is being given to the small house movement which started in the 90's and has continued to grow, including the launch of a TV show, Tiny House Nation. With most of the country still crawling out of the recession and billions lost in the real estate crash, the idea of living just as well in a smaller home has great appeal to some.
In 2013, the median size of a new home was about 2500 square feet, inching its way back up toward pre-recession sizes after several years of decline. Therefore, it's still the exception rather than the rule for homeowners to build smaller than their neighbors. To help support the concept of smaller home sizes, city planners are opening up zoning laws to encourage urban density on smaller in-fill lots. And, the cost of land has skyrocketed in populated urban areas, making it a necessity to find savings in square footage.
Rick McAlexander of Associated Designs in Eugene, Oregon frequently gets requests to design a home that lives large in less footage. He sees the trend toward smaller homes gaining in popularity. He has clients around the country in recreational or resort communities building a second home with a smaller footprint, but wanting top-quality workmanship. In addition, Rick says he also works with retirees wanting a downsized, simpler lifestyle in their primary home.
"Some of my clients want an intentionally well-designed home, but now they have less need for big spaces. They put their money in the quality of construction materials and custom amenities rather than the square footage. The result allows them to feel like they are living large in a smaller home," says Rick.
Young couples also see the beauty - and cost savings - of a smaller first home with quality features. If the home incorporates an energy efficient floor plan and attention is given to good construction, it can be a great investment to live in, as well as sell when the family grows out of the space.
Any type of homeowner will find that a smaller footprint can feel large when it's properly designed. For example, Associated Designs has a popular plan at 1500 square feet, the Glen Eden 50-017. This plan is an updated take on the Craftsman home, and is well suited for construction in both rural and suburban settings. It features eye-catching exterior design elements such as multiple gables, shake-textured siding, varied window styles, and stone entry columns which are capped by welcoming lights.
The house seems much more spacious than its 1500 square feet due to the richly glassed rooms and vaulted ceilings. The oversized steps at the front of the home feel grand as they lead to a set of French double doors which open into a roomy, vaulted screened porch. From the porch, two more sets of double doors open into the vaulted great room. The great room and porch combination extends the indoor space into the outdoors by over 300 square feet.
Flames in the fireplace at the rear of the home's largest room serve as a warm, inviting focal point on chilly days and dark nights. Stacked shelves flank the fireplace. The room's vaulted apex runs down the center of the room, lining up perfectly with the center of the fireplace lending a sense of spaciousness to the main living area. Counters and custom built-ins wrap around three sides of the kitchen, while the space they surround is roomy enough for a large, country-sized table.
People who prefer a smaller home understand the best return on their square foot investment is not in the bedrooms, but in the larger living area and kitchen. The Glen Eden home has one full bath, tucked efficiently between two typically-sized bedrooms that both open into a private alcove where the utilities and closet are also located. A third bedroom or office is situated next to a half bath for convenience. This efficient bedroom and bath design offers ample privacy for everyone in a small footprint. Overall, the Glen Eden 50-017 is designed to be livable, efficient, well-appointed and affordable.
The total budget for any new home is finally determined when choosing the type of flooring, countertops, cabinets, appliances, bath fixtures, ceiling fans, lighting and trim. Upgrade options for the external look of the home can include metal roofing for longevity and fire protection, durable cedar shingles, wood frame or casement windows, stone veneers and top quality outdoor lighting.
For a smaller home to work efficiently, owners take a serious look at built-ins and how they can conserve, making the best and most efficient use of available space. Bookcases and closet organizers are necessary for storage. Functional furniture can provide multiple uses, such as a large ottoman with underneath storage, instead of a coffee table. Or, a dining buffet at counter height for serving, with linens and china stored in cabinets below.
With the right floor plan, and attention to quality in construction and decor, a smaller house can offer an uncluttered and simpler life in a luxurious home.

Date: December 07 2012
Sri Lanka has made an impressive start to the second day of the match with the Chairman's XI at Manuka Oval on Friday.
After claiming two wickets in the first 10 overs of the day, Sri Lanka's opening batsmen have made it unscathed through to lunch at 0-60.
TM Dilshan (35 from 52 balls) and Dimuth Karunaratne (22 from 62 balls) safely saw off the new ball in response to the Chairman's XI 6-439 declared.
It is a much improved effort from the visitors after they claimed just four wickets at a cost of 390 runs on the opening day on Thursday.
Only a compulsory declaration after 100 overs could stop NSW opener Scott Henry, who finished unbeaten with a majestic 207.
ACT Comets teenager Dean Solway finished on five not out.
Sri Lanka struck in the opening over of the morning, Dhammika Prasad grabbing the wicket of South Australian Travis Head for 35.
Prasad collected his second of the day and the innings when he had Western Australian wicketkeeper Sam Whiteman caught and bowled for four.
Play resumes at 1.10pm.

I can't decide between the two forks.
The 36 has 160mm of travel and the 66 has 170mm of travel. But are those real numbers or do they get less than advertised?
The 36 is 5.5lbs and the 66 is 6.5lbs. But are those real numbers or do they weigh more than advertised?
Will the extra .79 inches of crown to axle height of the 66 over the 36 affect the handling/climbing dramatically?
Any input would be appreciated.

Microsoft is going to provide a low-cost, that is for $3, Windows and Office bundle for governments. This is an effort to reach the next 1 billion users. It is commendable that Microsoft has realized that it is expensive for a lot users to keep upgrading to newer versions. The only options available are to either not upgrade or use the pirated copies. Only 244 legal copies of Vista have been sold in China since its launch! The pirated copies are available for $1. Now this is not true only in China, a lot of developing countries, including India, see this happen.
Some thoughts on this.
One of the reasons for this is that the cost of upgrade is usually not justifiable, other than that a couple of years later Microsoft is going to pull the plug on it. This makes the pirated copies more lucrative. Of course there is always the Genuine Advantage program, but frankly, not a lot of people care about it.
And, I somewhere believe that piracy is one of the reasons behind popularity and wide userbase of Windows. Compared in whatever aspect, Windows is not better than the other options, including the open source ones. The only edge that Windows has over the others is because of the first mover advantage. The pirated copies have made availability of Windows easier and more viable as compared to its competitors, helping them maintain the advantage.
I feel that only reduction in the price is not the best way of targeting the next 1 billion users. Its competition with the open source is not only because of the price, it is because of the other two biggies – freedom and quality. Windows licensing is not exactly friendly, it tells the user more about what he/she cannot do than what he/she can do with it. The quality is of course a subjective matter, but the recent days have seen a surge in demand for Linux, especially because it has made huge developments in usability for the common man.
To be able to target the future users Microsoft should better its first mover advantage by proving how it can solve problems for the users, better than the competitors. Whether it is the OS, the office suite or the browser, Microsoft is up against quality and freedom more than price.

Until recently, the modern sheriff archetype was more associated with Sheriff Andy Taylor of The Andy Griffith Show than the zombie apocalypse. But then The Walking Dead came along, and Sheriff Rick Grimes changed everything. Okay, so this is Deputy Wayne Tisdale, not Sheriff Wayne Tisdale, but you get the idea.
Deputy Wayne Tisdale 1
There's not too much about Tisdale that makes him a modern sheriff. He could fit in just about anywhere, with the exception of the walkie-talkie strapped to his belt. Just about any modern game that's not in an urban area could use a miniature like this.
Deputy Wayne Tisdale 2
Joke's on us though -- although you might think Tisdale is based off of more recent sheriff archetypes, the sheriff looks a lot like this guy, AKA Boss Hogg. Which makes Tisdale Rosco Purvis Coltrane. So by all accounts it looks like Reaper decided to market Tisdale separately from his fatter companion, and voila! Instant zombie action hero. Context is everything. You can purchase this miniature at Amazon.

As Jurassic Park returns to theatres in a 20th Anniversary 3D edition, it's a good time to reflect on how movie making has changed. There can be no doubt it's still a great film, but will today's young audiences, raised on a steady diet of CGI effects, view it with the same wonder as those in 1993?
Despite the outdated computer hardware on display throughout, the story (from the late Michael Crichton's novel) is still fresh, given the debates about DNA research and cloning we're still wrapped up in. Billionaire entrepreneur John Hammond (Sir Richard Attenborough) has sunk his fortune into building a game preserve for dinosaurs, recreated from DNA found in fossilized mosquitoes. Hammond claims to have spared no expense, but there have been problems, and when a worker is killed by one of the particularly nasty velociraptors, his investors raise concerns.
Hammond invites dinosaur expert Alan Grant (Sam Neill) to visit the park – along with his paleobotanist partner Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and stylish mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) – in the hopes of getting an endorsement. But when the park's computer technician (Wayne Knight) triggers a shutdown of the security systems as part of a corporate espionage scheme, both the scientists and Hammond's grandchildren are trapped in the jungle with some very dangerous creatures.
You may have heard the story about director Steven Spielberg's experience filming Jaws. In the pre-CGI 70s, the robot shark they were using had all kinds of problems, and looked, well, like a robot shark. So Spielberg shot his movie around it, leaving the monster off screen for much of the film. The result was terrifyingly successful, and it's a lesson Spielberg carried with him, including its very effective use in many parts of Jurassic Park.
I took that little detour to make a point about how movies have changed now that CGI is so prevalent. Back in the 90s, the sight of realistic looking dinosaurs on film was still a major selling point. A quick Internet search for the original 1993 movie trailer will illustrate – even the marketing took a page from Spielberg's playbook, avoiding showing too much of the dinos. Compare it to the trailer for today's 3D version, which shows much more of the creatures and effects. The promise of spectacle is no longer there, it's all laid out for us. We're still captivated by amazing visuals, but the computer has made it too easy – we expect it now, and it's given to us on a silver platter to entice us into the theatre. And, possibly, we've become jaded by it.
In fact, I wonder if Spielberg would have even made Jurassic Park the same way if he started on it today. Would we still get the remarkably lifelike Stan Winston animatronics to fill in some of the close up shots, or would everything be green-screened in, just as amazing to watch, but somehow slightly removed from reality?
All of this is academic. You probably just want to know if the kids will like it (and if you'll like it just as much again). They will (and you will) – the action is breathlessly paced, it has great kid actors (Joseph Mazzello and Ariana Richards), and those dinosaurs are still as lifelike and terrifying as ever. There are some minor problems – Goldblum's character is shunted to the sidelines far too early, and I still think the ending is a bit of a cheat – but overall it's well worth seeing again, even if the 3D updates are middling at best.
Mostly, however, it's a chance to see a film from an era when computer-based visual effects were still relatively new, and be amazed at how well they've held up.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – As if the names Giovanni Ramirez and "Giovanny Ramirez" are not confusing enough, new LAPD inaccuracies are being revealed. For Giovanni Ramirez, the names, the tattoos, the hair, and the Henderson confusion are all making the LAPD's case about Bryan Stow (aka Brian Stow) more problematic by the day.
First, is Giovanni Ramirez, the suspect arrested in the Stow case, the same person as Giovanny Ramirez of Henderson, Nevada? This week NBC Los Angeles reported that on "Tuesday night, KCBS [also] reported that authorities in Henderson, Nev., following up a January shooting incident as an attempted murder, are seeking a suspect identified as Giovanny Ramirez with the same birthdates as Giovanni Ramirez." But a spokesperson for Henderson police also tells news that the local "Giovanni" Ramirez is not wanted in Henderson.
Second, more confusion about Giovanni Ramirez's neck tattoos is coming out. As previously detailed on LALATE, the LAPD witness did not notice neck tattoos on the person who was beating Stow. No neck tattoos appeared on LAPD suspect sketches.
As previously reported here, Ramirez after the Stow beating was spotted by his parole officer allegedly trying to change his neck tattoos. A parole photo of Ramirez shows Ramirez with a "LA" Dodgers logo tattooed on his neck. But NBC Los Angeles reports that Ramirez's attorney Anthony Brooklier "said Ramirez insists he has never been to Dodger Stadium."
Really? When asked about his client having an LA Dodgers logo tattooed on his neck " Brooklier said he was not aware of this and could not comment" claims the website.

Third, the list of attorneys speaking for Ramirez is growing. Initially Attorney Chip Matthews previously told news that his client Giovanni Ramirez didn't beat Bryan Stow and wasn't even at the game. Then Anthony Brooklier was added who according NBC says "Ramirez insists he has never been to Dodger Stadium." Now Ramirez has reportedly also added attorney Jose Romero.
Fourth, not only is there a problem about the tattoos but now about the hair. The witness allegedly spotted Stow's attacker with no neck tattoos and a completely shaved hair. That could mean big problems for the LAPD case that is built potentially only on witness testimony. On the day of Stow's attack, Ramirez unlike the suspect had a entire neck filled with tattoos, and according to his attorney, unlike the suspect had a full head of hair.

Ramirez's attorney is reportedly prepared to present evidence from not eight but now eleven witnesses that will indicate that Ramirez was not at the game but with the witnesses, had a full head of hair unlike the attacker witnessed, and a full neck of tattoos unlike the attacker spotted.
LAPD has yet to comment about the neck and hair inaccuracies. But Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck vows he has the primary aggressor against Stow.

UFC 171, set to take place in Dallas on March 15, has a new main event. With Georges St-Pierre vacating the UFC welterweight title in a media call earlier today, Johny Hendricks will now meet Robbie Lawler for UFC welterweight championship in the main event of UFC 171. The previously scheduled main even of Jon Jones versus Glover Teixeira will now headline UFC 172.
Dallas based fighter Johny Hendricks was defeated by now former champion St-Pierre at UFC 167 in a controversial decision. It was expected that Hendricks would get an immediate rematch with St-Pierre but with St-Pierre stepping down as champion, Hendricks will face red hot contender Robbie Lawler to crown a new champion.
Concerning his expectations for the title fight between Hendricks and Lawler UFC president Dana White said during today's media call "It'll be an absolute gun fight."
Lawler has been on fire since returning to the UFC and has won three fights in a row, two by knockout. Before losing to St-Pierre, Hendricks had won six in a row with three wins coming by first round knockout. There is no doubt this fight could turn out to be a great one.
UFC 171 will be held at the American Airlines Center here in Dallas and air live on pay per view. Other fights expected to take place on the card include Hector Lombard versus Jake Shields, Diego Sanchez versus Myles Jury, Thiago Silva versus Ovince St. Preux, Robert McDaniel versus Tor Troeng, and Sean Spencer versus Alex Garcia. More fights are expected to be announced in the weeks to come.
