We spoke in church on Sunday. I'm always so relieved once it's over... I walked in our front door and sat right down on the couch, with that box of sea salt and turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds. And then I didn't move for over an hour.
That basically sums up the past few days, because other than preparing my talk (and making a grocery trip to Trader Joe's for said almonds and other goodies) I'm afraid I was positively useless.
Here's hoping for more energy and productivity this week!
If you have any pick-me-up music suggestions, I'd gladly take them.

You are so darling. I would have loved to have been there for your talks. Is Clint funny at the pulpit or more serious? Sometimes the funny people are serious and then the not so funny people try to be funny. :)ReplyDelete
We've been listening to Little Joy the past couple of weeks. I love them. Have you heard of them? The album is called Little Joy too I think.

speaking in church is THE WORST! after doing something like that you definitely deserve to sit and munch on treats all day long. and p.s. so obsessed with that green chair of yours! :)ReplyDelete
My girls suggest listening to defying gravity from wicked. they belt it out and seem to have plenty of energy. But as far as productivity goes, their definition may be a little different from yours. They say it helps them dress up like witches and fly around the house really effectively.ReplyDelete

Washington Post Staff Writers

What might have happened had the Philadelphia Eagles selected Ricky Williams, a running back from Texas, with the second pick of the 1999 NFL draft? Cheers would have filled Madison Square Garden, where the draft was held, and Donovan McNabb would have fallen to the Cincinnati Bengals or the Indianapolis Colts or the New Orleans Saints or some other team in some other city, with a chance to write a different script. There would have been no history for McNabb with Philadelphia, with the Eagles, with their fans.
"We thought Ricky Williams was going to be a once-in-a-lifetime player," said Ed Rendell, former Philadelphia mayor, current Pennsylvania governor, ardent Eagles fan and Williams supporter on Draft Day '99.
But as soon as then-NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue said: "With the second pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select Donovan McNabb, quarterback, Syracuse University," the seeds of a complicated, turbulent, sometimes inexplicable relationship were sown. The Eagles fans who bused to the draft booed, and booed hard.
Welcome to Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, Donovan. We wish you were someone else.
"Not that he had a chip on his shoulder, but he really felt slighted," said Michael Karloutsos, a Philadelphia restaurant owner, Eagles season-ticket holder and friend of the McNabb family. "He felt like they took away that moment from him, and he deserved that moment. Think about that. So now, that sour taste is in his mouth."
McNabb himself would never say he was or is or ever will be sour about Philadelphia. Eleven years later, when the bookend to McNabb's career in Philadelphia came in the form of a trade to the Washington Redskins, McNabb spoke only highly of his time in Philadelphia.
"It's been 11 great years," he said last week.
The addendum to that career and those emotions comes Sunday, when McNabb appears on the Eagles' field for the first time in an opposing uniform. For one moment, the complexity of the relationship between city and athlete will be distilled to its simplest form. He will be booed, or he will be cheered. Or both.
"He's going to get a big ovation," said Angelo Cataldi, the outspoken drive-time host on all-sports radio station WIP, the man who organized the trip to boo McNabb's selection at the draft. "It hurts me to say it."
"It's going to be some mixed reactions," said Redskins lineman Artis Hicks, who spent the first three years of his career blocking for McNabb in Philadelphia. "You got a lot of diehard fans there that it's all about who we got now."
"There's going to be an opinion," said Eagles Coach Andy Reid, the man behind both McNabb's selection and his departure.
The Phillies will appear in baseball's playoffs in the coming days. The Flyers, who reached the Stanley Cup finals last spring, open their season this week. Yet in Philadelphia last week, the talk centered on the Eagles and McNabb, McNabb and the Eagles. His pending return has caused what amounts to a wave of civic introspection.
When McNabb's selection was booed all those years ago, more than one Philadelphia columnist suggested the act reflected poorly on the city. Last week, talk radio buzzed about how the fans should treat their departed star, as polarizing an athletic figure as this passionate sports city has known.
"Donovan always said the right thing, and no one can argue that he wasn't a good guy," said Anthony Gargano, a native Philadelphian and another host on WIP. "The perception was he only said what you're supposed to say. They wanted him to cry after the Super Bowl and throw his helmet. And in the end, it all comes down to one thing: not whether his personality didn't jive - and that's true - but he didn't win."
McNabb is well aware of how his failure to win the Super Bowl - despite five NFC championship games and six Pro Bowl appearances - affected his reputation with the city. Some people close to him said he was hurt by the trade that sent him away from the only city he had known as a professional. Still, a month after he was dealt to Washington - after he threw more completions for more yards and more touchdowns than anyone in Eagles history - McNabb went on one of the sports radio stations in town, home of much of the vitriol directed at him over the years, and apologized to the city of Philadelphia.
"When I got to Philadelphia, I said I wanted to have a parade on Broad St., and bring a Super Bowl championship back to Philadelphia," McNabb said in an interview before this season. ". . . Through my 11 years, I've been questioned about things that I did, or the way that I approached things - because I smiled during a game, little things that bothered some people. It's just me having fun in this game. I enjoyed playing football.
"That I wasn't able to accomplish that one goal that I set for myself - we got so close - but not being able to bring it back to Philadelphia, I wanted people to understand the passion that I had and how I truly felt about that."Complex relationship
There, though, lies some of the complexity in the relationship. Some fans never understood McNabb. They believed his passion for winning, if it was there at all, was masked by the smile and what appeared to be a lack of emotion. And many Philadelphians believe McNabb didn't truly understand Philadelphians.
Some believe this is about more than sports. Philadelphia was once the capital of a nascent union, and had that title stripped from it and moved to Washington. The U.S. mint moved to New York. There was bubonic plague, Legionnaires' disease, a litany of problems that became intertwined with the city's identity.
"You've got to understand: There's some psychology here," said Karloutsos, the restaurant owner. "Philadelphia was the center of the universe at one point in time. When the New World was created, this was it. . . . [When that was lost] "it created this huge, huge inferiority complex. Over time, Philadelphia expected to lose in every way shape and form."
Mix those elements in with a predominantly blue-collar city, and an attitude developed. Nowhere is that attitude more obvious than in how the city relates to its sports teams.
"It's aggressive with its criticisms and its aggressive with its love," Gargano said. "It can be constricting how much the city can love you sometimes. It's because it matters here. In most places, people shake off a loss. It's sports. It's your outlet. Here, it's important. And that's the difference."
The results, of course, are important. But Philadelphians also believe that how their heroes handle the results - win or lose - is almost as important.
"The one thing I always found, that I knew to be true in Philadelphia, fan-wise: they just don't accept excuses," said Mitch Williams, the Phillies' closer for three seasons in the early 1990s. "They just don't want to hear them. If you lose, you just stand up and say you lost."
Williams offers perhaps the best example of this. In 1993, he saved 43 games for a Phillies team that went to the World Series. Called on to protect a one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth of Game 6, Williams instead issued a walk, then a one-out single, then a three-run home run to Toronto's Joe Carter, which ended the Series.
Williams never played another game for the Phillies. His reputation?
"He's beloved in that town now," said Larry Andersen, a reliever and teammate on that '93 Phillies team, and now one the Phillies' broadcasters. "Part of it is because he stood up. He took the blame. He didn't have to or didn't need to, but he stood up and didn't make excuses. And I think fans in Philly respect a player that's honest and accountable."
When Williams returned to Philadelphia the following year as a member of the Houston Astros, he heard cheers. He believes not only what he said, but how he said it, mattered in the fans' post-World Series evaluation of him. "From a fan standpoint, you can't fool 'em," Williams said. "They can see right through insincerity."
McNabb's reactions to wins, to losses, to touchdown passes, to interceptions - all of them were analyzed and picked apart. Philadelphia doesn't bottle up its feelings. It doesn't want its athletes to. Shaun Young, an Eagles fan known as the "North End Zone Nightmare," dresses up in shoulder pads and face paint for every home game. In the hours before some big games, Young said he vomits because "I'm so jacked-up." This is the segment of the population that struggled with McNabb's measured reactions to nearly everything.
"McNabb never got us as fans," Young said. "He never got us. Part of it was because I don't think he wanted to. He was so guarded that he refused to let a lot of personality out and we didn't get to know the real Donovan McNabb."
Karloutsos points out that former 76ers guard Allen Iverson, never more than a step from controversy, was embraced by many Philadelphians, at least in part because when he got mad, it showed.
"Donovan didn't do that, and they resented him for it," Karloutsos said. "They want their guy to [feel] pain as much as they do. Donovan never showed that. He'd grin or kick a towel or whatever. For them, that wasn't enough. They wanted him to take a table and throw it against a wall. That's not Donovan."Super Bowl lore
McNabb's best chance to forge an unassailable legacy in Philadelphpia came on Feb. 6, 2005, when he played in his only Super Bowl as an Eagle. In the fourth quarter, Philadelphia trailed New England by 10 points. Despite needing two scores, the Eagles appeared to move casually in and out of plays. Later, wide receiver Terrell Owens said McNabb had thrown up in the huddle during Philadelphia's final drive, one that ended in the touchdown that cut the deficit to 24-21 - the final score.
McNabb threw for 357 yards that night, but he also threw three interceptions. And though he has repeatedly and consistently denied throwing up in the huddle, the fable remains part of his legacy in Philadelphia.
"That was the fatal moment in his career," Cataldi said. "Up to that point, he had a tremendous number of attempts to get there, a lot of years, and when he botched that up in the Super Bowl, it was like: This guy has his limitations. He won't get us the big win. He never fully recovered from that."
When McNabb arrived in Philadelphia, the town's last title had come from the 76ers, back in 1983, a drought that wore on the fans. But in 2008, the Phillies broke through, winning the World Series, a transformative experience for the franchise and its players - and how the fans reacted to them.
"It doesn't matter how successful you are if you don't win a championship," Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins said last week. "You were good. You played on some good teams. But you're never a winner until you actually win. . . . It was like, the pride of the city was back, being a blue-collar city, working hard, but at the end of all that hard work, for many years it was heart-breaking. Now it's like all that hard work finally paid off."
It has not paid off for the Eagles. Still, fans in almost every other NFL city would trade their results for those of McNabb's Eagles. During his decade as a starter, only Indianapolis and New England won more games; the Patriots and Eagles tied for the most playoff games (18) during that time.
"Donovan led us there," said Rendell, the governor. "He played hurt. He played in big games. He was always there. He had the daylights beat out of him, never complained. . . . I don't think he was ever fully appreciated."
Sunday afternoon will provide the first glimpse of whether a post-Philadelphia McNabb is appreciated.
"You wouldn't expect me to say I'm going to get booed, do you?" McNabb said last week.
He smiled. Broadly. And somewhere, a Philadelphia sports fan cringed.

Our History
Ko'olau Baptist Church was established in 1965 when a young missionary couple from Baptist International Missions Incorporated, Pastor and Mrs. Max Helton, arrived in Hawaii. With a small nucleus of believers they organized the Ko'olau Baptist Church. Originally they met at Heeia Elementary School before later moving to the cafeteria at King Intermediate School. Later, approximately 2.5 acres of an old banana patch were purchased in Kane'ohe and the church built a sanctuary on the location in 1967.
Under the leadership of Rev. James Warren (1972- 1976) Ko'olau Baptist Church gave birth to a new ministry by founding Windward Christian School in 1974. Approximately 30 students met in a small A-framed annex building, an old real estate office that was moved onto the Ko'olau Baptist Church property.
Under the leadership of Rev. David Marcum (1976-1980), the church and school began to grow in numbers and more room was needed. As a result, in 1978, the back of the church sanctuary was expanded for use as Sunday school classrooms as well as Monday - Friday school classes. Shortly thereafter, the name "Windward Christian School" was changed to Ko'olau Baptist Academy. This change, in name, more accurately aligned the school ministry under the Pastoral leadership and direction of the local church body (as embarked upon in 1974) of Ko'olau Baptist Church.
In 1980, the church called Rev. Alan Anger as its new pastor with the understanding that the church would become indigenous and self-supporting. Pastor Anger and his family had been serving the Lord in Hawaii as missionaries to single servicemen since their arrival in 1971. He had also previously served as the interim pastor for Ko'olau Baptist Church in 1971 and again in 1976-77. Under his leadership, Ko'olau Baptist Academy received a license from the State of Hawaii in 1984. In 1990, Pastor Alan Anger resigned from Ko'olau to return to the mission field.
In 1991, Ko'olau Baptist Church called Rev. Thomas Bowlin as its pastor. Ko'olau Baptist Church has experienced numerous improvements since this time. Under his leadership the school joined the American Association of Christian Schools and helped found AACS - Hawaii in 1991. Under his leadership we have built a new church/school office complex and a new High School building consisting of three large multipurpose class rooms. He has also overseen the complete interior renovating of our sanctuary and began leading the way to expanding our multiplex with a new elementary two story building and a multifunctional-use building, as funds are made available.
In September 2004 Pastor Bowlin resigned for health reasons and Pastor John Goodale took over as Interim Pastor until a new Senior Pastor was called.
For almost two years, KBC didn't have a Senior Pastor. In July 2006, Pastor John Sass took over as the new Senior Pastor of Koolau Baptist Church. While Pastor John Sass was a marine in Hawaii, he met Suzy Dias, his wife, who was a member of Koolau Baptist Church. They were able to serve together in her home church. After serving 5 years at Koolau Baptist Church, Pastor John Sass was led to the mainland to continue pastoring.
In January of 2011, Pastor Skip Woodfin was voted in as Senior Pastor of Koolau Baptist Church.

Keep Phoenix Beautiful: Help Hang A 1,280-Foot Mural at PHX Renews Site June 8
Those who follow artist Hugo Medina on Facebook probably remember when he invited artists to paint 80 wooden panels for a huge project he kicked off at the Phoenix Festival of the Arts. During the three-day event last December he asked local creatives to paint 80 panels and placed blank panels in-between, inviting anyone -- artist or not -- to create something. There were only two rules: it had to be positive and it had to be inspired by downtown Phoenix.
See also: Creative No. 70: Hugo Medina Phoenix Artists Jay Atherton and Ann Morton Give Hance Park a Creative Facelift
The end result was 160 eight-by-four-foot panels that would become a gigantic 1,280-foot-long mural to be placed at the PHX Renews site on the northeast corner of Indian School Road and Central Avenue. It may have taken a few months, but it's finally time to install the art -- and Medina could use some help.
The lot rejuvenation project falls under the umbrella of Keep Phoenix Beautiful, an affiliate of the Keep America Beautiful program dedicated to "recycling initiatives and education, litter reduction, beautification, and community improvement activities."
PHX Renews is a city-led initiative to turn the city's empty lots into space the community can use. The project centers around a vacant lot at Steele Indian School Park, which is being temporarily transformed into a multi-use public space. In addition of the gigantic mural, the PHX Renews project will bring community farming, outdoor education space, and other art displays to the 15-acre lot.
Medina said he'll curate the placing of the panels around the space, with some being set along the fence to be visible from the street and others scattered along the paths within the space.
He's asked volunteers to help with the hanging, bolting, and sealing on Saturday, June 8. The process will begin at 7 a.m. and continue throughout the day. Parking for the event will be at Steele Indian School Park. For more information or to RSVP to the event, visit the Facebook event page.

(guess which voice is mine)
hello all
all BS aside here is my little speech
I work for Blockbuster and have been tasked with signing up people to
the blockbuster version of netflix, now i am not having a very good week
so my numbers are not where they need to be so i am posting on movie, dvd fansite boards the offer that blockbuster has....
visit the website www.blockbuster.com/total
enter the promo code 36086b
start selecting movies that will be mailed right to your home
then return those movies to a blocbuster store (over 4000 participating)
and they will give you a free rental just for returning an online rental to the
now if you like the program fine, keep going they have different plans
some as cheap as $5.99 but if you don't want to pay then don't cancel the
membership before the 2 weeks are up. It tells you when it will start billing (look under the my account tab) so cancel before that date. Thanks for reading.
Fred, sorry you are having a bad week. But dude, you are in the wrong business. Read on:
Hi, I am here to say FOK BLOCKBUSTER ONLINE.
I signed up for that shit when it first started and the DVDs took at least a week to arrive. Stuff got lost in the mail and I never got what I wanted. They chased me around for weeks for a DVD that they lost in their warehouse. Then, 4 weeks later, they told me that they had found the DVD...after stretching me and making me feel like I had actually done something wrong.
I was a die-hard Blockbuster customer and I paid more than my share of late fees, but I was willing to do the online jump.
I am being honest here when I am telling you that I had no idea a big company could screw it up as much as they screwed it up.
Then, after 3 months of nonstop Blockbuster BS, I jumped to Netflix. That's right. I threw the Netflix switch in the rental machine.
All the sins that I accuse Blockbuster of are not apparent with Netflix. 2 day turnaround. I lose a movie? They mention that I shouldn't do it again and send me another one. I have peace of mind, and I get what I want, when I want it.
I don't even fokkin look at the Blockbuster when I drive by anymore. I don't care what their sales are, and I don't care what they give me out of the gate for me to sign-up. Blockbuster fumbled the ball. They had the world as their oyster and they soured their customer base by going OFF with the late fees and other overpriced bullshit. I am not the only one who feels this way. BLOCKBUSTER HURT THEIR CUSTOMER BASE BY CHASING THE DOLLAR TOO HARD. In their chasing of the dollar, they became inhuman. I put up with their inhumanity for a bit, but I eventually PEACED THEM BITCHES OUT.
You can buy previously viewed DVDs from Netflix CHEAPER than you can through BLOCKBUSTER.
BLOCKBUSTER is about making up ALL OF THAT CASH THEY LOST when people like me jumped ship.
Too late for you to let me slide on those late fees eh? FOK JOO.

Roller Balls
As a kid being raised on the Central Coast, I used to long for the Boardwalk. Unfortunately it was a solid 60+ miles away and expensive as anything.
I used to watch those commercials on tv and know that I was missing something. I freaking was. The arcade was top of the line. The rides were above anything that ever blew through Monterey, and it was in a lot of ways more fun than Great America; which was further up the road.
The key of it all was the Giant Dipper though. I dig that sucker. It is old school. Wooden. You can also look at the bay as you get ready to make your first drop. No loop-de-loops, just straight old-school rolling and clanking at what seems to be about 60mph. That ride has always seemed manly as hell to me. It is the clicket-clack. The balls. The all-out grandiosity of the spectacle. It is something that you need to go through if you live here.
So, enter 2007. I now live in Santa Cruz. I also have a season pass to the Boardwalk. So do Yzzy and Ivan. Luther isn't quite there yet.
Today was Ivan's first serious roller coaster ride. The Giant Dipper of course.
Imparting the first roller coaster ride is something a father should do. It is manly. It is up there with first bikeride, first R-rated film and I dunno, maybe first cigar.
My father used to take Casson and I to Magic Mountain every now and then. We would wait forever for a ride on the Colossus. We would also ride the Revolution. Apparently, the Revolution is the roller coaster that wrecks in the movie, "Rollercoaster." Speaking of the movie, I saw that with Casson and my father in sensurround in LA back when I was a kid too. After I got out of college, I made a pact with myself to only read crappy literature to counter all of the so-called "good" literature I had been force-immersed into. I picked up the novelization of the movie "Rollercoaster" and read it in one evening. DOPE AS HELL.
Yeah, the clickety-clack of a roller-coaster runs that deep.
It was good to see Ivan bouncing around (I sat behind him and Yz). He disappeared at a point or two, sinking into his seat below my eyeshot. He later told me that his pants had unbuckled and he was adjusting his fly, mid-ride. Balls, man. The kid has 'em. It was good to hear the excitement in their voices as they stumbled out. It was also good to swoop the picture downstairs that they wanted to sell for just a mere testicle with my camera-phone.
Ivan isn't out of the woods yet. He got off and countered all of that grown-up roller coaster trash with a helicopter ride and a cheesy car ride with no steering wheel in the kiddie zone. But I think that the little fella is well on his way.

Ferdie for sale
1970 VW Camper Hooptie for sale
I was so freakin Hyped by what I put on Craigslist that I am dropping the text here.
Date: 2007-03-16, 3:11PM PDT1970 VW Westfalia.
Ferdinand is a Canadian vehicle, I drove her out of the North myself. This van is the Millenium Falcon. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I have had this vehicle for almost 15 years. I have receipts going back to the early 90s.
New rebuilt engine with about 4000 miles on it. (just had the valves checked, good to go).
New Clutch (same time as engine)
Decent tires
New Battery
Daily driver
New ignition and starter
No need to worry about smogging her, she gets a pass
Things you should know:
*I got hit in her about 10 years ago, and that is the primer job in the pic. It was only bodywork, nothing else.
*The pop-top works, there is a minor tear. It is totally habitable (my kids lived in it last summer while I got the engine together).
*The cancer is spreading. It is visible in the pics and I will show you more if you come to check her out. She needs body work, or she needs her guts and spirit placed into a more decent body.
*I drive her about 100 miles a day. Highway miles, none of that start and stop trash.
*She would be a great project car for a student, or for someone who already has a Westfalia and needs to tighten their game.
*Front 2 seat belts work. The back has two that work as well.
*There is a gas heater. I have never used the thing, but there are ways to heat her over the winter.
*Windshield has taken a few dings. No cracks, just dings. They actually look like bulletholes, but they are not holes.
*I have personally gone through stages of living in this thing. This is a room on wheels. I have camped up and down the Northern coast in her.
*You are never going to be in a hurry in Ferdinand. She does 70 mph on the highway, and that is about it.
*Rear left corner panel took a crunch about 12 years ago. Not major damage, but there nonetheless.
*Hit me up and I will send you pics of whatever you need to see in regards to her.
Dear Lord, there is a lot of history with this vehicle. I could tell you stories for days. I am going to miss her.

(*note: click on the pic if you ain't up to the squint)
My father used to have this reprint paperback on his shelf with the best of Creepy Magazine in it. Once he directed me to one of the stories in it. This story was about some guy named Bif Demmon who was a great hunter. Bif goes head to head with a werewolf at the end. Beautiful stuff. As a punk kid, I registered 2 things: Frank Frazetta art and comic books.
It later became the holy grail for me to get my hands on the actual issue. Research later proved that the issue in question was Creepy #1.
Casson and I chased it down for years and eventually gave it to my father for father's day one year. Recently, I pried the story from him about it all. It is a fun one. Apparently he had this roomate who was a little on the fanboy side. This guy actually had a homemade Superman suit in the bathroom of their apartment at one point.
Time wore on, they went their separate ways. Thing was that this guy was an artist, and was connected to Frank Frazetta. Turn of favors and consequences, and this guy eventually writes my father into this story that showed up in Creepy #1 (I'm talking about the early '70s, people). The story is dope. It is basic. It is the standard "you killed the monster, so now you are the monster" fare. But I dig it.
Boo on blogspot for not letting me post all panels of the thing. I will put the last panel up and back-time it so it shows up right after this post.
Bif Demmon FTW.
Last Bif Panel
This is one of the dopest cartoons I have ever watched. The only thing that tops this out is DONALD'S DREAM VOICE when he gets the Ajax voice pills and is coherent for about 3 minutes.
But if I am lounging on a Saturday morning, Avatar ain't bad. Plus, this Airbending bastard has my kid's interests piqued.
Donald Duck (classic, mind you) didn't haunt the Saturday AM schedule when I was a kid. It is unfortunate. I was gobbling up Hanna Barbera slop whenever I got the chance. If something as cool as the Avatar had been on TV, I might have become a nuclear physician or something.
Ivan, the Beautiful Badass
He's charming, and he will kick your ass. He came at me the other day with a stick. Of course I had to toss him into a coma, but the day is coming when I will just have to take whatever beating he has in store for me.
He is also one of the funniest people I know. He and I have watched all the Star Wars movies together more times than all of you put together. So much so, that he can do things like this:
ADMIRAL AKBAR in Return of the Jedi: ALL CRAFT, prepare to enter hyperspace on my mark!
The Eyeball Translation: "Oh CRAP! Prepare to enter hyperspace on my mark!
The changeup is genius.
His tongue is already quick enough to draw blood. Just wait till he gets older.
I took the clippers to his head the other day. Now he looks like a UFC champ.

Ghost Rider: a conversation
Ghost Rider. I was mildly hyped for the pelicula. I hate Nic Cage with a passion that rivals my hatred of...say...you know what? I think Nic Cage gets the absolute brunt of my hate. Well, it is not actually hate, it is a strong dislike and...anyway. Ghost Rider. The number one movie in the nation. It was an unfortunate series of circumstances that stopped me from seeing it on release day. I had hopes. I mean Peter Fonda was up in there. I thought that the Peter Fonda thing was funny because of the Easy Rider thing. But now is bitter post-coital post-cinema afterglow, I think that Dennis Hopper would have been better.
What I am trying to say here is that I pirated a copy of the Ghost Rider and watched it on this very laptop I am typing into now. The pirated copy was dope. [Digression] It seems that the harder the RIAA cracks down on piracy, the better the rips become. RIAA. Puh-leese. [Digression #2] The reason why there is rampant piracy of films like this one and stuff like THE HITCHER (another laptop showing) is because movies suck so hard these days. [Digression #3] If Ghost Rider and THE HITCHER were decent flicks, they would get the piracy and the ticket sales. I get into the fact that Ghost Rider is the #1 movie in America later. [Digression #4] I will say that I have started a "desktop showing of [put a decent movie title here]," and then stopped halfway through to go and see the thing in the theatre. I am a pirate with a conscience. If it is good, they will get my money. I have Snakes on a Plane in DVD format, but I also have an illegal rip of it on my laptop, because I don't feel like carrying the DVD everywhere. But that is another digression.
Ghost Rider sucked. It sucked hard. The effects were top tier though. Enclosed is an online conversation that I had that sums it up pretty good. Once again, I am the Muphukka:
Muphukka: I DL'ed it and scrolled through the money shots last night. It is amazing how much they spent on this thing and how fucked up it is. SO much wasted talent. Sam Elliot is better than this. Peter Fonda is better too. Nic Cage is not, because he tends to act in shitty movies.
I watched it for free and I feel ripped off.
The best scene was the emo chick describing how GR's head was aflame.
Jrtien: I watched Ghost Rider last night, and even though I heard it had bad reviews I really, really enjoyed it. The movie had really good sfx (which is expected) and the story was pretty entertaining. I also liked that they seemed to stay pretty faithful to the story of Ghost Rider.
Out of all the superheroes I think Ghost Rider is one of the most broken, because he just seems unbeatable if his opponent has a soul.
Anyway though I didn't see anyone mention this movie on here so I thought I would. If you like monsters, motorcycles, and a woman so fine that you'll be thinking about her long after the credits, then check it out.
Muphukka: RIding up and down the side of the building and pwning the helicopter was worth the download.
So was Mendez by the way.
The rest of the movie sucked Prairie nuts.
Jrtien:I think a lot of people forget why you go to the movies sometimes. It's to enjoy it! We're all critics, but sometimes being too critical is a bad thing.
What get's me though is that people seemed to go much easier on the shitty Superman movie. Ghostrider kicked ass compared to that. Superman was like watching one of the old movies. Nothing cool really happenned, and his enemyies didn't even have powers. Worst of all he wore metro-sexual boots. That messed the whole thing up.
If you couldn't appreciate Punisher, then it just shows that you can't appreciate a decent story. Punisher went above and beyond my expectations...
Muphukka:WHat were you expecting? Complete shit?
Jrtien:Why don't you tell me what's wrong with it?
Muphukka: For starters: THE DIALOGUE.
Completely wack.
Mephistopholes: "Your father will be healthy as a horse."
(Just about everything that Peter Fonda had to say was completely wack.)
next morning
Old Man:"I feel healthy as a horse."
GR: "You're pissing me off."
Please don't request more of this. I can remember this, but I will have to pull the file out of my recycle bin if you want to split hairs on this issue.
Rebuttal? Then I will go to another part of this absolute suckfest.
Keep in mind that I felt the FX were top of the muphukkin line.
Jrtien: I think you just expected a little too much out of it. It was meant to have a certain amount of corniness too it. I mean who watches, or reads Ghost Rider for the dialogue? I think we were lucky to get what we did...
I started getting annoyed with him pointing at Mephisto all the time, but after a minute I liked it. Why? Because it's corny. When a hero acts corny as fuck, and then kicks a villains ass it's like rubbing salt into their open wounds. I think it was meant to be that way...
If you've seen Fist of The North star you'll see it too, but in a different way. Every episode the guy gets pissed and flex/rips his shirt, and jacket to fuck, then kills the villain making a bunch of silly ass Bruce Lee noises "Wataaah!" Next scene he's wearing the exact same shirt, and jacket, and there is no logical reason for it. Corny as hell, but when you get over it, you can smile a bit and get a kick out of it.
Muphukka: I appreciate your take on "campiness for campiness' sake." I honestly was mentally prepped for something a little more serious. Like you said, I expected too much out of it. If it had been marketed as a "horror comedy" or something, then maybe it would have done better with me. Nic Cage has an Academy Award for fux sake, I was expecting something better.
But then again, it is the #1 movie in America. This means one of 2 things:
#1. There is some actual merit to this thing
#2. We as a filmgoing public have lowered our standards to a point where we praise absolute shit.
I keep on pulling for #1, but #2 is staring me in the face, brutally.
I find what you said about the Punisher interesting. What I appreciated about the Punisher was the one scene where he got his ass totally tossed by that Russian. You know, the barrel of his gun gets bent and he flies through walls and then down the stairs? That was the scene that did it for me. The rest of the film was a wash IMO. Ghost Rider has the same sort of feel. The ride to the top of the skyscraper, the helicopter pwnage and the subsequent cop pwnage at the bottom are the money for me. The rest is dismissable.
It is kind of like getting a CD with only 1 or 2 good songs on it. There are 60-80 minutes of music that you just can't deal with...but there are those beats in that one song that you cue up again and again and again.
I haven't seen FIST OF THE NORTH STAR in...fok...more than 5 years. Perhaps I should fire it up to draw the parallel that you speak of.
I think I am gonna go see that racist-assed Black Snake Moan tonight. I'll be back.

I am itching
I left my friend Matt's house the other day itchy. It wasn't a physical itch (like between the toes), it was a psychological itch that I just couldn't deal with. I was uncomfortable. It has taken me a lot of introspection to determine what caused this horripilation of my psyche. In order for you to understand this better, I have to allow you to see a facet of my relationship with Matt.
Matt and I are mainlining pop-culture in the most unhealthy of ways. It is apparent that a lot of the classy angles of pop-culture (literature, decent film, mainstream music) are not what we are into. Matt and I tear into the seedy underbelly of what people are feeding on. I must say that he is much more disciplined in his pop-culture abuse than I am; but I am there with him, shooting up fairly regularly. Who am I really kidding though? there is a market for the trash that Matt and I have been feeding on. If there were no market, there would be no current blog about the subjects that I am about to break down.
It started years ago with things like watching BUMFIGHTS and Iraq execution videos online. We would wince and wonder what inspired people to film such jacked up moments and submit them. We would wonder who these people were who were feeding on this stuff. I remember wrestling with the Iraq execution vids and wondering if the head held out in front of the camera was real or a special effect. We wondered why. I wondered why. I would haunt ogreish and score stuff just to the left of sanity. There was some truth underneath it all, and I wanted to secure it. Little did we know that we were soon to become those very people who would be known as, "those that feed at that trough.".
The Steve-O vids, Jackass and a plethora of sub-par cinema that is funny in one way or another to a certain crowd has been our forte. But there have been nights when I have gone to sleep feeling sorry for poor Mr. Steve-O and wondering what turn his life took that he would actually drink the beer that ran down a strange man's asscrack. If Matt and I were watching movies in the theatre, they tended to be the mainstream ones that people talked smack about. There is some class in what we are doing, but like I said, that itch really got to me and forced an internal assessment that I really had never planned on.
So, yesterday, as I left Matt's place itching again, I knew what that itch was about.
Oh, I know, it isn't too much of a revelation; but we need to check the issues at hand here.
Years ago (well, 2) I watched the Ricky Gervais' OFFICE in its entirety. Back to back to back. My conclusion was that the humor was all about making the audience uncomfortable. The funniest things in that show all had to do with people saying too much, or too little in situations that needed specific reactions. I have since tried to do the same with the American version of the OFFICE, but 40-year-old virgin makes me so uncomfortable that I simply can't do it.
2 weeks ago in Missouri, I had a similar twinge of this uncomfortabliltity. I was watching AMERICAN IDOL at the bar. The show is a rather mean-spirited visitation of mediocrity upon the American tv-viewing public. There are these poor fools trying to cut it on the show, with all of these mean-spirited odds against them. What is uncomfortable is when you see someone who really sucks at what they are doing. You hear bad their musical notes. You see their dance mis-steps. You hear that Simon-bastard judge telling people in the coldest, most venomous terms that they really suck and to get the hell out. Those that succeed the bloodletting are strung on until the last possible sane second before they are told that they have cleared and can move onto the next round.
Those pregnant pauses as they wait to tell the performers and the audience at the same time are what (I think) drives people back to the show. Sure there is a musical backdrop, and some people are going to actually buy the albums when the show is over, but in order to keep the tv audience riveted, they make them UNCOMFORTABLE.
So I was at Matt's a few weeks ago and he wanted to play me the boxed first season of BBC's EXTRAS. Ricky Gervais is at it again, and needless to say, I was uncomfortable as hell. EXTRAS is more of people simply opening their mouths and saying more than they should ever say and then backtracking, or not. A key uncomfortable situation had Ricky Gervais at a prayer meeting. he had lied to a girl and told her that he was Catholic. She in turn invited him to a party. The party was the prayer meeting. Ricky then proceeds to lie about his parish, his confirmation saint and the priest of the imaginary imaginary parish. The priest running the show asks Ricky about it, and he proceeds to admit it. He admits that he simply told these lies in order to get closer to the woman who brought him there. Understand that Ricky Gervais is delicate looking and you already feel sorry for him because his very demeanor demands empathy.
And there we have it; the key word of this entire post: EMPATHY. if you have no empathy, then you probably won't feel the itch that I speak of. I suppose you also have to have the stomach to put yourself through such things.
Something about reality TV and TV in general and how it makes me so damn uncomfortable.
So yesterday, Matt walked me through a reality TV show on VH1 called The White Rapper Show. I finally stepped up my game and told him, after MC Serch (of POP GOES THE WEASEL fame) did his third or fourth "woo-WOOO" call for someone offstage. It sounded fake and impersonal. It sounded like Serch was trying to be something that he is not. Then, as I watched the show, i saw all of these kids trying to be something that they were not. Sure, white guys can rap. But rap then. Don't posture and pose like you are something else. This got more and more painful and tedious to watch. Color was the issue. the whole show was based on the color issue. During a freestyle battle, the black rappers reminded these white guys that they were indeed white. I was really itching. These white guys were putting in their time for their $100,000 prize money, but at what cost? And when one of them flubbed his rap, or if his gold teeth fell into his mouth mid-rap and he had to recover in front of a tough crowd? I was made uncomfortable again.
So what is this all about? What is this feeding on uncomfortable moments all about? Are we supposed to feel what the contestants of these reality tv shows are going through? Is that where the juice is? Am I supposed to feel for Ricky Gervais when he slips up and totally puts a gay intern in his place? Who am I supposed to feel for? What is the proper reaction to this stuff? Matt and I discussed it and he revealed that at times it gets so bad for him that he has to leave the room. Or he has to get up and walk around, to shake this nasty feeling off.
My empathy is wielded against me and exploited with this stuff. But for some reason, this really is the flavor of the moment. It is the flavor of the moment, and I am learning to live with this flavor, however itchy it is.

A jury imposed punitive damages of $23.6 billion against R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, a unit of Reynolds American (RAI), on Friday. The Florida jury awarded the sum to a widow whose husband was a chain smoker and died of lung cancer in 1996 at the age of 36. R.J. Reynolds said it will appeal the decision. The verdict came the same week that Reynolds American agreed to buy Lorillard (LO) in a $27.4 billion deal.
Mexican telecom billionaire Carlos Slim said a three-day work week, working 11 hours a day, would give people more time to relax and have a better quality of life. His statements com come a few weeks after Google (GOOGL) founder Larry Page talked about a four-day work week, saying it's not true that people need to work frantically to meet their needs. We want to know what you think about these two billionaires talking about a shorter work week. Do you think it's a good idea? Vote in our poll, or leave a comment below or on Twitter.
The National Association for Business Economics showed that the share of U.S. companies they surveyed that raised wages rose to 43% in the last three months, more than doubling compared to the same period last year.

Posy Baby Cardigan in Three Sizes
I'm sorry it has taken me ages to rewrite this pattern to include three sizes. I have made all three and this is the latest one which is the middle size. I just love this colour and the red heart buttons. I did go with a moss stitch collar, button band, button hole band, cuff and welt on this one just to ring the changes from the garter stitch a little. Looking closely at the picture it seems I have missed a ring of moss stitch on one of the cuffs, should you make one, you won't do that. That's what comes of trying to finish in hurry.

Focusing on the PHONE, May 8, 2009ReplyDelete
I never like it when people complain about a problem with "the plan" when doing a review for the phone. It is irrelevant.
With that being said, I own an E71-2 unlocked NA. While there is some features taken out, this is easily AT&Ts top tier phones and one of the best phones on the market, which honestly other carriers have not kept up with (save for t-mobile's G1 and soon Sprint's Pre).
The phone is comparable, not so much to an i-phone, but a blackberry, as the phone is pure business.
But its also FAST and reliable.
I have had very few glitches with the e71, symbian has been around long enough to become effecient and refined, even though its not always pretty. While they did take out some nice features from this phone, most have remained.
With that being said, I still think the e71 is a better phone to buy unlocked, but for the .01 entry fee, its probably the best entry phone out there. Largely because its internet browser capability is excellant (skyfire is notably great), but also because in terms of smart phones, nothing matches it features save for the bold. I would highly suggest this phone, and would urge people to pass on the Fuze or any other WinMo phone, and go with this phone. This is a better option.
With that being said, if you are going to be using this for business purposes, I would use the money you saved buying this free phone, and invest in Roadsync, which is a proper push email program. While this does have push email, its not fully capable...Roadsync is a great third party software for exchange that makes the phone fully capable.
Also this is probably the most sturdy phone on the market, thanks to its metal casing, it can take much abuse. It is great that AT&T is re-introducing symbian smart phones in such an elegant package. Its a great phone.
With everything being said, this great phone is mostly all business. Its great for that though.
best smartphone out there, August 12, 2008ReplyDelete
first a comparison to the e61i: i had both the e61 and e61i and this is a major improvement over both. the form factor is incredible as it is only 10mm thin, much narrower than its predecessors, and feels very solid and sleek with its all metal body. the phone is just beautiful to look at. nokia has improved its processor greatly and the phone has almost no wait time with all its functions now. when i went back to use the e61i, it was unbearably slow compared to the e71. the keypad on the e71, although a little cramped, feels good on the fingers. one of my biggest complaints about the e61i was that earphone speaker was hard to hear out of, but the e71's narrower body and seemingly louder speaker solves the problem. the e71 has also added a microUSB port, and 2.5mm earphone jack. in terms of software, the e71 has an updated symbian os that includes some additional features and programs that were pleasant to see. the biggest program improvements for me was the updated organizer and the shortcut key options. for all e61 and e61i users out there, the e71 is a must update to nokia's wonderful line of phones.
comparison to competitors: function-wise, it has all the features blackberry's and the iphone 3g have. however, the e71 is much smaller than both (just put the e71 side to side with the blackberry curve and the iphone and they both look like monsters compared to the e71). i have no complaints with the 3g and 3.5g (umts/hsdpa), and I'm not sure what the other reviewer was talking about-- it must be a network/area dependent problem. i live in the SF bay area and i almost always connect to the 3.5g network with att and the internet is extremely fast, comparable to web browsing on a computer with broadband cable access. i really dont like the all touch screen of the iphone, so i would never consider it. i was debating between the curve and e71, but e71 beats it in both function and form-factor. the e71 has a umts/hsdpa, 3mp camera, and better battery life. all the rest (OS mainly) is just up to personal preference.
concluding remarks: if you ask "why should I get the e71", i would answer with these points based on what "I" feel is most important:
- very fast 3G capability
- excellent size, feel, and look,
- speedy processor with no lag in navigation
- improved OS and great computer connection software (nokia pc suite)
- long battery life
- 3MP camera with flash
- comes with carrying case, carrying strap, stereo earphones, and data cable
- and lastly, did i mention that this is the most beautiful i have ever seen? see one for yourself (i know its hard b/c they dont really have them in stores) and you will love the look and feel of it.

Sept. 10, 2008
LARAMIE, Wyo. -
The University of Wyoming Spirit Squads traveled to Provo, Utah in August to participate in the National Cheer/Dance Association (NCA/NDA) Summer Camp in preparation for the start of the 2008 athletic season.
The UW Spirit Squads consist of 44 total members; a co-ed cheer team (Brown Squad), the all-girl cheer team (Gold Squad) and the Wildfire dance team. In Provo the teams took part in two days of game-day preparation, safety certifications and skill building. The camp ended with an evaluation-style competition which was judged by NCA/NDA staff members.
Twenty-seven UW Cheerleaders competed to take home first place with their Game-Day Routine, out-performing several other schools, including host BYU. The cheer team also took home Best All-Around Team honors for their sportsmanship and school spirit. The Wildfire dance team placed second in the Team Dance competition, bested only by the nationally ranked BYU Cougarettes.
"The Wyoming Spirit Squad accomplishments are something that I am very proud of. It takes a lot of hard work, motivation, and commitment to compete and win as a team, particularly with only four days of preparation," said UW head coach Ty'Lene Jackson.
The Wildfire dance team's performance earned a coveted National Competition Bid for Division I Dance, and the cheerleaders earned a National Competition Bid for Division I Small Coed. The NCA/NDA Collegiate National Competition is held in April in Daytona Beach, Fla. It would be the first time in four years that UW has sent teams to Nationals, and the first time in almost a decade that a co-ed cheer team has represented UW at the national level.
The UW Spirit Squads provide support for both Wyoming Cowboy and Cowgirl teams, as well as maintaining involvement in community affairs, events, and relations on behalf of the University.
More information on the UW Cheerleaders and Dancers, and information on corporate/personal sponsorships of the program, can be found HERE or by emailing Ty'Lene Jackson at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Feature Request: Advanced Form Statics and Reports DataAsked by clongjax on June 21, 2013 at 02:07 PM
I would like to create a report that tells me what form is getting more submissions than the others.
Nothing fancy, just a literal tally of form submissions for each form and be able to define a time period.
Is there a way to do this?
Chris Long
Hi Chris, technically this is already possible to keep track of within your My Forms you can view how many submissions you have on each form and then if you want to break it down more you can go into your Submissions Control Panel using the Time-Date Configuration to adjust this further with more information. Unfortunately I don't know of a feature that we support right now that could handle this ability other than separate reports to gather this data per form. You can however, combine the data manually or possibly use the source code with some custom programming to design this but that would have to be done outside of JotForm.
Thanks for the quick response. I see what you are talking about by clicking the gear icon withing the submissions page, but unfortunately just gives me a timeframe for that one individual form.
This would be a great enhancement if possible, as it would allow very quickly for people to tell which of their forms is getting more responses than others (marketing purposes).
Thanks again for the quick response. I will have to manually tally for now :-( Not a fan of manual anything :-)
No problem and yes I am aware of what you mean. So on your behalf I will go ahead and open this thread up into a Feature Request with Improvement Options for our developers to take a look at this and consider it for future use.

French women are pretty ugly if you ask me. I know I lived in Europe for six years and have been to Paris several times as well as to Cannes. The Czech, Hungarian and Romanian women are much prettier than the French. The South American women are by far the best looking in the world. Unfortunately, American women are at the bottom of the list!

It amazes me that fans seem to be in some sort of despair about Chris Hughton's defensive tactics. Following Norwich City's 0-0 draw against QPR there were even fans that were calling for the manager to be sacked. This is something that simply astounds me with the team seven points clear of the relegation zone.
In my mind, Norwich City's season is going exactly according to plan and Hughton is working out a dream. However, fans remember Paul Lambert's spell in charge and think they would want to return to a more expansive style of play.
Nevertheless, one of the first things that the manager had to do when he was appointed during the summer was to improve a leaky defense. Some people might point out that the team still has a less than impressive goal difference. But there is a reason why statistics are seen as lies and it's largely because they send out a very misleading picture.
The fact of the matter is that the Canaries have had a few games this season when they have conceded a lot of goals. But that has usually been against the bigger clubs in the league and overall Norwich have defended very well.
There is no doubt that signings like Sebastien Bassong, Javier Garrido, Michael Turner and Steven Whittaker have all made a significant difference. It's also fair to say that the players have accepted the manager's philosophy. Of course, fans are a little frustrated that the team doesn't seem to be scoring many goals.
But the problem is you're never going get a perfect situation. The way that Hughton has set his team up this season has worked and I'm 100% confident that Premier League survival will be secured. Then, maybe next season the manager can look to find a slightly more expansive way of playing.
Honestly, I think fans that are calling for Hughton to be sacked should be ashamed of themselves, it's clear to see that he is the right man for Norwich City. Therefore, let's get behind him as we secure those last few points towards Premier League survival.

Nikon Coolpix AW100 Waterproof Camera Review
Over the years Ive used a few of the waterproof point and shoot cameras, and Ive built up a list of likes and dislikes from each.
I started with Olympus and it took great, sharp images and had very nice macro, but in low light the camera was useless and there was a long wait for both focusing and shutter lag.
After I lost my Olympus at a movie theatre (fell outta my pocket), I found a Pentax W90 that someone was selling locally online. The camera wasnt too bad and had some nice features to it, namely its macro. However, the camera again was terrible in low light and the HD video was terrible quality.
I did manage to get some very good quality pictures out of both cameras but there was many more photos that were wasnt because the camera did not perform the way I would have hoped. And when youre fishing, you cant sit and take a fishs picture for half an hour trying to get that ONE good photo. So its 2 or 3 shots and ya gotta release the fish! I decided to try out one of the latest and greatest underwater cameras.
My search for the best begun a few months back when I was trying to decide between a small dSLR type camera and a point and shoot waterproof. I decided in the end with a waterproof just for peace of mind and the less bulk for when Im fishing and guiding. I searched all the various reviews on the latest waterproof cameras and discovered that late winter is just before all the companys introduce their new cameras. Panasonic is coming out with the TS4, Canon is going to be introducing their D20, and I was skeptical whether or not to wait or to go ahead and pick one from the current selection.
All the reviews stated the Panasonic and the Nikon were their top picks. Both have very similar features and even look pretty similar. I decided the best thing to do was to try them out and also do a side-by-side comparison of the specifications.
The Panasonic had a better waterproof rating but that wasnt really an issue for me. Im not going to be down at 33ft with my camera and if I am, I wont be conscious. If youre into scuba you wont want to be taking these down there anyways because you wont be getting the photo quality you would hope for.
The Nikon had some really great features that I liked, namely the various video modes including slow-motion and HD 1080p. It received very good ratings for its video quality, despite it having such a tiny lens and sensor, like all of the waterproof point and shoots. Also, it comes with a handy filter attachment that clips onto the front of the lens housing! In the end just the small things are what won me over.
I picked up the camera and a UV filter from Henrys in Winnipeg. I wanted a circular polarizing filter but they didnt have any in stock. Ill probably pick one up at a later date. I decided with the orange colour just for the simple fact that its easier to see and hopefully harder to lose!
I was going fishing right after picking up the camera so I would be testing it right away. The weather outside had heavy cloud cover and the lighting conditions were less than favorable but I figured Id see what the camera could do. One thing I liked is it comes with a neckstrap that suspends the camera in arms reach but its small enough to tuck under a hoody or jacket without even knowing its there. The neckstrap is just a cheap nylon strap but its better than the useless wrist straps that typically come with the waterproof cameras.
I clipped the filter adapter on and really like the design. Its easy to put on and take off but is secure enough to not wiggle around or fall off when bumped. Nikon, as far as I know, is the only company that is offering this unique filter adapter which I really like! Having a polarizing filter to cut the glare off the water is fantastic and kudos to Nikon for listening to their end users!
I took a few photos and the thing that stuck out most was the speed of the camera. From when you first hit the ON switch, to when the shutter snaps, it takes less than 2 seconds. So you can get the camera out and snap a shot in no time, which is great for those quick shot opportunities. Those who are in the outdoors a lot know you dont get a warning for when an animal appears or a neat bird lands on a branch. Its there and its gone, and having a camera that can capture those moments is pretty invaluable!
The auto-focusing is blazing fast in outdoor settings with good light. I did find that in low-light scenarios it takes a little bit longer. Once the focus locks on a target and you hit the shutter its almost instantaneous, theres virtually no shutter lag. Its a beautiful thing!
Another nice little feature is the textured shutter button. This is sweet because you know exactly where that little sucker is just by feel. My Pentax I had before was a pain because it was suck a small button and it was smooth just like the camera body around it. Nikon has addressed this issue and also made the button larger, so even with gloves on, you can get that shot!
The battery and memory card hatch is quite unique as well with a locking mechanism unlike any of the competitors. They have a dual locking mechanism that has a push button and a dial you have to turn. This is sweet because its pretty much fail-safe and is less likely to pop open accidentally. It also has a bright yellow gasket that seals the compartment tight. The bright yellow colour makes it easy to spot dirt or abrasions that might otherwise fault the seal.
The camera performed very well out on the water and the detail and colour capture was superb, despite the horrid lighting conditions. The sample image below shows the macro capabilities and colour preservation. This photo was taken with the UV filter attached, which helps cut down on unwanted glare.
I like the controls on the back of the camera. Theyre all easy to use and it doesnt take long to get used to the menu system that Nikon uses. One stand-out feature that a lot of companies are moving to, including Nikon, is including a one-touch video record button. This designated button allows you to start recording a video instantly just by hitting the button. You can select whether you want single-area auto-focus or full-time auto-focus. Most people would want the single-area I would think.
Nikon has included quite a selection of movie modes that allow you to capture all sorts of creative videos. Below is the list of movie modes.
HD 1080p 30fps (1920 x 1080)
HD 720p 30fps (1280 x 720)
iFrame 540 (960 x 540)
VGA 30fps (640 x 480)
HS 240fps (320 x 240)
HS 120fps (640 x 480)
HS 60fps (1280 x 720)
HS 15fps (1920 x 1080)
What I like is the fact that Nikon has allowed you the opportunity to capture slow-motion video, which is kind of a neat option.
Im looking forward to using this camera this year! I have a trip out to British Columbia planned for next month, and Ill also be guiding in the arctic at Plummers Lodge. So the camera will be getting a lot of use in different settings this year.
If youre looking for a really good waterproof camera to have with you while fly fishing, hiking, kayaking, etc, look no further or at least highly consider this camera. I definitely would recommend this camera!
The camera retails for $329-359 and is available in Black, Blue, Orange, and Camouflage.
*Stay tuned for more sample images!*
Re: Nikon Coolpix AW100 Waterproof Camera Review
Nick: Great write-up on the Nikon Coolpix!
Re: Nikon Coolpix AW100 Waterproof Camera Review
I agree with Larry that you gave a great report on your impression of the camera. I've been using a Nikon for going on 4 years right now I think and have grown to believe they are good, perhaps better than good... The fast boot up is something I like too. After reading your review I may be looking at this model myself.
Thanks for that,
Re: Nikon Coolpix AW100 Waterproof Camera Review
I picked up an AW100 for a fishing trip to Belize and had high hopes. Good size, controls, easy to use menu and waterproof etc..
I liked the camera for all those reasons but found a fatal flaw...fogging.
Used the camera daily in 80 degree heat, no submersion and found the lens would often fog a few minutes after the camera was turned on. Extremely frustrating. Quite a few pictures have a big blurry spot, others slightly "fogged" depending on the amount of condensation within the lens enclosure.
A Google search shows others have had the same problem. Called Nikon on my return and they said "never heard of it, send it in for eval". Took it back to Costco instead and now I'm waiting for Canon to release it's D20.
The AW100 could be a good camera but Nikon has to address this problem.
Re: Nikon Coolpix AW100 Waterproof Camera Review
Thanks for the feedback nvpescador. The only way that could happen is if humidity somehow got into the camera body. It's a sealed unit. I had an Olympus that did that but it turned out it was the seal on the battery hatch. It wasn't sealing properly and moisture got in. I took it back to the camera shop and they just gave me a new one over the counter. Never had a problem with that since. Hopefully that was just an isolated incident but again, thanks for the feedback.
I've taken mine in below 0ºC temps and it's been fine and the camera speed or battery life aren't affected.
Here's a couple fish pic examples from the other day. The colour and detail is pretty spectacular on this cam.
Couple more sample pics.

Re: Nikon Coolpix AW100 Waterproof Camera Review
Nick-- great write up-- and great pics!
Re: Nikon Coolpix AW100 Waterproof Camera Review
Thanks Nick! I've been wanting one of these and now I want one more. I think it's my favorite waterproof PS of the bunch.
Re: Nikon Coolpix AW100 Waterproof Camera Review
Nikon released this camera like 2 days before I was ready to buy my Panasonic. ARGH!. I went back and forth with them but ended up going with the Pana over the Nikon. Both cams seem to be the choice of underwater though. I didnt know that the Nikon had a threaded filter adapter, that would have been a much bigger selling point to me.
One thing to get for yours, is a strap that is heavy enough to float your camera. I have experianced this first hand, it doesnt matter how waterproof or deep your camera can go if you drop it and it doesnt float.....
Re: Nikon Coolpix AW100 Waterproof Camera Review
Good call: "One thing to get for yours, is a strap that is heavy enough to float your camera. I have experienced this first hand, it doesn't matter how waterproof or deep your camera can go if you drop it and it doesn't float....."
My first WP camera is sitting (somewhere) on the bottom of the Chetco River (SW Oregon).:mad:

Lopo signs Espanyol deal
By Francisco Acedo
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
ESPANYOL defender Alberto Lopo has pledged his commitment to the club by signing a new contract.
Lopo has inked a three-year deal to remain at the Montjuic until the summer of 2006 and continue his service with the Catalan outfit.
The Barcelona-born stopper has risen through the ranks at Espanyol after initially starring for the club's B team.
He forced his way into the first-team reckoning during the 2000/01 season and has become an integral member of coach Javier Clemente's plans.
Lopo agreed the deal at the end of last season with the Espanyol board and has now put pen-to-paper on the contract.
