Now That's a Party! Celebrities Turn Out in Droves For Memorial Day Beach Bash
Celebrities got into the Memorial Day spirit when they stopped by producer Joel Silver's annual Memorial Day Malibu beach party yesterday. Guests included Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson, Gwen Stefani and her family, Sean Penn, Kate Beckinsale, and Tobey Maguire, who was back in family mode after wrapping up a whirlwind world press tour for The Great Gatsby. The group partied at Joel's Malibu home, which included a giant inflatable slide that was set up right on the beach to keep the kids entertained. Joel's annual party has become a major event for Hollywood's biggest celebrities — past guests have included Selena Gomez, Courteney Cox, and Tom Cruise. While Joel's party drew out a ton of A-listers, that doesn't mean that they were the only stars who were celebrating over the holiday weekend — check out how the stars celebrated Memorial Day!
Obama Pays Tribute to Fallen on Memorial Day
President Barack Obama laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns today at Arlington National Ceremony to mark Memorial Day. As Americans welcomed the unofficial start to the Summer with barbecues and relaxation, Obama reminded the country what the holiday is all about. "Let us never forgot to always remember the sacrifice they make in our name," the president said in his speech, which also touched on military families. "Today most Americans are not directly touched by war; as a consequence, not all Americans may always fully grasp the depths of sacrifice, the profound costs that are made in our name," he said. "Our troops, our military families understand this, and they mention to me whether the country fully appreciates what is happening. Let us never forget that our nation is still at war."
Before heading back to Washington, yesterday the president toured the tornado devastation in Moore, OK, where he urged Americans to step up and help. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama kicked off the long weekend on a light-hearted note, visiting DC school kids with actress Kerry Washington. On Friday, the pair shared some dance moves and words of wisdom on their trip back to school.
10 Tips to Save on Memorial Day Grocery Shopping
Prepare most of your meal. Woroch says, "The general rule for prepared foods is that they are more expensive, and it's cheaper to buy the ingredients to prepare yourself." For example, prepared veggie platters and fruit salads "are never a good deal" and aren't exactly the freshest produce. However, prepared potato salad at a regular supermarket is less expensive and will save you time in the kitchen.
Get chicken from the butcher. Buy chicken breasts from the butcher counter instead of the prepared packets. They tend to be cheaper and are generally more fresh.
Consider boxed wine. Save money by skipping the bottled wine and going for the box. "Boxed wine is an affordable option for large parties, and the quality has greatly improved in recent years," she says.
Buy liquor at a superstore. If you're insistent on a specific bottle, then check out warehouse clubs like Costco. There are better deals on wine, liquor, and beer at a superstore, according to Woroch. While you're there, pick the store's generic version of vodka for an even cheaper deal.
Make your own salad dressing and marinade. Check out recipes online — here's a list of over 60 different marinades to make. "Most people will already have the basic ingredients like olive oil, some type of vinegar, and herbs at home," she says. "Other ingredients like lemon or lime, soy sauce, or honey won't cost much extra."
Ways to Slim Down Your BBQ
Doing a little grilling this Memorial Day weekend? With tons of burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, and beer around, you don't want to go overboard on the calories. To avoid packing on the pounds this weekend, here are some ways to add a healthy spin to your barbecue.
- Bring a healthy dish: If you're invited to a barbecue, bring along your own healthy dish so you know you'll have something good for you to munch on. Wow your friends and family with one of these vegan side dishes or healthy burgers.
- Go for homemade guacamole instead of creamy dips: Avocados offer the healthy fats your body needs, which is a much better option than the saturated fats found in dairy-based dips. If you're worried about calories, then whip up some homemade low-cal salsa, and throw in some fresh pineapple and mango for added vitamins.
- Grill up some veggies: Use a grill basket, corn holders, or skewers, and choose a variety of veggies to grill with the lean meat. Load up your plate to fill you up and to help prevent you from overeating high-calorie dishes.
- Don't always choose beef: Veggie burgers made with whole grains, legumes, and vegetables, and hot dogs made of tofu are a delicious low-calorie and low-cholesterol option. If you're a meat eater at heart, then go for burgers, hot dogs, or sausages made from turkey, chicken, or salmon.
- Choose your buns wisely: Most are made with enriched flour, so you may have to check a bunch of labels before finding ones made with real whole wheat four.
- Make substitutions: When it comes recipes as well as the fixings on your burgers, find healthier substitutions. Choose raw tomato or salsa instead of ketchup, and try Greek yogurt instead of mayo for potato salad recipes.
- Go easy on the brewskis: Save calories by enjoying one of these lower-calorie beers, and the rest of the evening, go for ice water, unsweetened iced tea, or chilled seltzer water flavored with lemon.
- Get moving: After your meal, step away from the food to avoid noshing out of boredom, and do something active like playing volleyball, badminton, or a round of boccie ball.
Start Memorial Day Off Right With Chicks in a Blanket
Let's be honest: the grill never heats up fast enough, and you've got hungry guests waiting. For Memorial Day, satiate their hunger a tad by making these chicks in a blanket, a slight revamp of the classic pigs in a blanket. This is a no-fuss, no-frills type of recipe that only require two ingredients and roughly 15 minutes. Watch the video to learn the technique.

Best Buy Employee Insight on the ZUNE
by ghostinkernel32 on October 2, 2006
Pros: Supports Play For Sure Software, Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi, and Video Playback

Summary: Hello, I've been working for Best Buy for about a year and a half. Before my days here I loved the Ipod, until I realized the firmware issues that they are prone to. The Zune has the features and support that the Ipod simply does not. As for the comments pertaining to viruses that I've seen on these reviews, rest assured, the zune is secure from any possible virus contamination. The only draw back off the bat for the Zune is the lack of accessories. Many customers that we help want a purchase based on the amount of accessories that the device offers. There are optional docks, chargers, fm broadcast devices as well that interface with the Zune. The drawback is that the accessories are not readily available in retail stores.
With all of that being said, I don't believe that the sound quality will compare to that of a Creative device (amazing signal to noise ratio) but the audio should still beat out any .acc format encoding. We've tested the new 80gb Ipod against the Zen Vision M using Shure E3c headphones and were dissapointed with the audio quality on our Demo Ipod.
Good Device for the dollar. At 249.99 for the same capacity as an Ipod, more features with less accessories (initially), I'd wager that the Zune will hold it's own against the almighty Ipod.

An actual Zune owner review!!! Better than I expected (and I expected a lot)!
by dcis_steve on November 14, 2006
Pros: Great screen, media rich user interface compared to other units, excellent sound
Cons: Install coughs if your music folder is on network storage. Battery can't be replaced or upgraded.

Summary: I was at the door this morning when Target opened. To my surprise, Target gave me a $25 gift card for some Zune promotion they're running, which made me even happier about the purchase.
My install went smoothly until I got to the express setup. I got a "could not file a file" error. I also tried custom setup but that didn't work either. In any case, I continued through the rest of the setup without any problems. It turns out the installation coughed on me because I have "My Documents" folder (which holds My Music) on an attached USB network drive. A friend of mine had his setup normally on the C drive and his installation had no such issues.
Anyway, this installation burp I ran into didn't cause any problems whatsoever. I attached the Zune to the cable when instructed and everything was cool from then on.
The Zune music software is easy to use and I actually really like it a lot (yes, a little surprised). It takes care of album art better than everything else that I had previously used with a Microsoft label on it. The marketplace is well designed and quick to find what you want. One downer is that their catalog is far smaller than Itunes but I imagine that will change very quickly.
Synchronizing my entire library of songs (almost 2500 songs) didn't take long at all. Firing up the Zune with all my stuff in it showed that the sync took perfectly. The sound quality is outstanding and I've even tried hooking the Zune up to computer speakers, my stereo and even an fm modulator I already use with my Archos AV420. In all cases, very high quality sound with no noise whatsoever (aside from the usual that is associated with fm modulators). The EQ features are basic but all are useful.
My favorite feature us the user interface. In my opinion, it is fluid and really looks awesome. Especially when you can take your best vacation scenery photos and use them as a background. The Zune does this in a very cool way. Instead of resizing the whole thing to fit the screen, it uses only a portion out of the middle of the graphic and you'll notice that the background fades out and zooms in when you begin using the menus from the home page - a very cool effect. Once you get use to the sliding top menu and the regular vertical menu, it's extremely fast to get from one spot to another.
Pictures and video also look great on the Zune and this is where the Zune pulls ahead of other devices (including the Ipod) in my opinion. The Zune software converts video files automatically without you having to worry about any of it, and the playback is smooth and crisp. The screen is big enough for solo movie watching and I look forward to trying out the audio/video adapter to send this content to a TV.
One thing I expected to be a junky useless add-on was the FM tuner but to my surprise it works excellent. In fact, it pulls in stations better than my car does.
I haven't had the chance to use the wifi features yet since I'm the first dude on my block to own one (gloat). Maybe I'll update my review in the future if I get a chance to try that.
My only gripes were the install, which turned out to be no problem at all, and the fact that the battery can't be upgraded or replaced. It would have been nice to know that if something happened to your battery it would be an easy fix. And better yet, to buy extra batteries to use on long flights when you want to watch movies.
I unpackaged the Zune carefully and made sure I didn't throw away the receipt because I was a little unsure with this being the first release of a new Microsoft product and all. However, my skepticism was unwarranted. The Zune delivers and I think it's the pick of the pack now. They've done a good job of not over complicating the device without it lacking features. It does just what you would expect, and then some.

Summary: I will try to be very objective (a bit different from most of the reviews posted here. I will start stating that I own two I-pods (Mini-6GB and the Ipod Video 30 GB) and they will be the precedent to make up my ideas. I got me a Zune this morning on my way to work. I been playing wit the Device all day long, (by the way, I am not lazy. I work for a firm that provides consulting services and I am in charge of technology.) I have the Black Zune in my hands and I feel safe to say that the device has been beautifully crafted. The case is Transparent? And material? I am sure that it will take more than regular wear and tear to get scratch. It is bigger of what I expected, compared it with the ipod but the screen is big as well and perform like a dream. I had been amazed for the picture resolution. This is huge if you are thinking and use the device for photos and video. The menus are extremely user friendly and easer to operate compared with I-pod. Of course if you own and I-pod, it won't make any difference since it menu has not changed dramatically between generations and models. My point is that everything on the Zune is easier to find and operate and even if you have no experience whatsoever in this devices, you' I be able to rock and roll with it out of the box. Sound? ……. Well… I am sorry to every Ipod user, but the quality of sound of this device is way much better. May be the headphones? Just in case I tested Zune Vs Ipod using different Headphones and external Speaker and the result was the Zune audio reproduction quality blowing the competition? The difference is very easy noticeable. I use the same MP3 file to conduct the test.
I did not performed any test of the Wi-Fi capabilities (since It takes two or more Zune), but based on the software, it's more than sharing songs between your friends. It allows you to search for Zune users in your range, and create a "Virtual Social Network". The way I see it, the possibilities are infinite since the hardware is already in and it will take a simple update to add new functions.
I am not much of a radio listener and to me the radio Perform "like radio". Some stations fine and some others…. well you know at least you won't have to run and buy a portable radio in case of an approaching hurricane.
So far I been impressed with the performance of Zune, and I found only one thing that is bothering me………… When you are listening at your music and you switch to view photos, the music will stop…. Hey Microsoft nerds!!!….. I got you a software update on the first Day! I will continue playing with the device and I will post new findings. Good Luck!!Updated
I have to retract myself. The issue of the audio turning off while your watch your pictures applies only if you are listening Radio Stations.Updated
At this point I guess should be many Zune users that have already noticed this. It took me a long time to figure it out, because I usually do not carry my Zune with the headphones since I use it mostly trough my home theater or car. Probably very insignificant, but have you realized that the stock headphones magnet together? Yes… they do!! Try pairing the L and R sign. No more headphones jumping all over when you are running to catch the train.31 out of 34 users found this user opinion helpful.
Stick to Creative Zen Vision:M

Summary: Stop comparing with iPod. Definitely iPod will lose. Compare with Creative Zen Vision:M, Zune will lose slightly.Why Zen?People go for these products because of music and especially videos. The Zen supports all video formats. I can just drag and drop my movies. For Zune, i can't. Only WMV format is supported at 320 by 240 resolution. No higher resolution supported. That means if i output my videos to my LCD TV, the quality will be bad. The Zen can output 4 times higher resolution. Think again, is Zune the best 30GB media player? No. Stick to Creative Zen Vision:M.

A Surprisingly Well-Made (and fun) Device
by toosday on November 15, 2006
Pros: Wifi, big screen, decent battery, non-fingerprint surface

Summary: When I first got my hands on the Zune, like most others, I immediately went for the click-wheel. That just proves how much the iPod is embedded into our brains. However, the circle is actually a set of buttons.... and it doesn't take more than 30 seconds to get used to. Moving around the interface is as quick and intuitive as the iPod.
The screen is big and bright and automatically switched to landscape mode when viewing photos and videos. And when you are viewing in landscape, all of the buttons automatically changed direction, too. (Meaning up and down becomes left and right.) It would be nice to have some built-in support for left-handed people, but alas, there is none.
The ability to send songs wirelessly to friends with Zunes is very quick (about 15 seconds per song). It would be nice to be able to keep the songs for longer that 3 days/3 plays. Bumping that up to about 5 days would be great. You can also send full playlists wirelessly! You can turn this feature off, also, so that no one sees your Zune and can send you songs. Though you can name your Zune, you can't give it a personal avatar. It'd also be great if you could download songs from a store using wifi.
The sound quality of the Zune is very good when using the headphones that come with the device. I haven't cranked it up to the highest volume because I want to preserve my ears. With the wireless ability being such a big sell with Zune, I very much wish it came with wireless headphones.
The build of the device seems very sturdy and it resists fingerprints (even the black and brown) very well. It's not glossy like the iPod and some other mp3 players, but instead is a slightly rubberized matte finish. True, the screen will get fingerprints if you touch it, but the body won't. Also, the user interface (menus and such) are quite fun to fly through once you first get the device. You are able to set your own customized background image and the menus fly in and out of the screen elegantly.
Overall, I wish the Zune took more advantage of its wifi features (which apparently will be updated soon), but the device is very well-made, easy to use and sturdy. The best surprise for me was the screen clarity, wifi speed and fingerprint-less surface.14 out of 15 users found this user opinion helpful.
Zune owner and Electronics salesman
by Outstanding Punk on November 17, 2006
Pros: Great (but not amazing) audio quality, good video quality, resumption of interrupted video, user friendly and a built in FM radio.
Cons: It lacks a microphone, does not have a clock and no video available in the marketplace.
Summary: I've now owned five different mp3 players from five different companies. And so far, I must admit I like the Zune better than the others.
1) Cons
Well, at ...Summary: I've now owned five different mp3 players from five different companies. And so far, I must admit I like the Zune better than the others.
1) Cons
Well, at least two of the cons I stated can be addressed in firmware updates, namely the lack of a clock and WiFi features. Heck, even games could be coming down the road for all I know. I do also hope that video in the marketplace for purchase is something available down the road.
A replaceable battery and Plays For Sure compatability would also have been nice features that this unfortunately does not have.
2) Neutral
Size: The Zune is a tiny bit thicker than I expected. It feels a little akward to leave in my front pocket at a little bit over half an inch in depth. Actual physical size comes in at (rounding up a tiny bit): 4.4 inches high, 2.5 inches wide and .6 inches deep. When not in use, it finds a home in my back pocket.
One thing that strikes me as somewhat useless (but neat) is the ability to see what other people are doing with their Zunes. It's all well and good that people can see that I'm watching a certain video or listening to song X, but they can't request the song wirelessly from me. They would have to tap me on the shoulder and ask.
In regards to its battery life, watching video on it does tend to chew up your power. However you will easily have enough to get through one, maybe two complete movies. WiFi can also be a battery drain, but you can turn that off. The vast majority of your time spent using the Zune will not be with it anyways, in WiFi's current incarnation. So you might as well turn it off.
3) Pros
The GUI is easy to navigate and is visually, is quite nice. It seems to be the most user friendly of those I've both owned or played with.
As for the video usefulness/quality and audio, here we go. I haven't yet discovered a limit to the amount of videos you can interrupt and resume. It currently has my position saved in 8 different episodes of The Tick. Video quality is definitely not on par with that of a portable DVD player, but it does match up evenly with the video quality of other mp3 players. Audio quality is definitely above some of the previous models I have owned, but there are a few better sounding ones out there (Creative for example).
Considering the size of the player, the radio seems quite strong. I'm able to sometimes pick up Chicago stations which are roughly 75 miles away with little to no static. And if the station supports it, you'll get in the station's name and the current song they are playing. Which is a definite perk as I constantly wonder what the heck they're playing and hate waiting for the DJ to give a recap of what they've just played.
The casing itself seems very durable, and not easily scratched. It seems to have some semi-clear plastic-like covering. Which, when the light hits it looks like it is blue. Which with the black casing looks fairly neat.
Overall it's an excellent and solid player, and has excellent features for the cost. They intend to integrate the Xbox 360, Zune and Vista. It will be interesting to see how it will work when all wrapped together.9 out of 10 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: Imma proud Microsoft Soldier who's always had a great respect for Apple. I even bought the Ipod which I was happy with until now. Look, outside of the gang war that goes on between Apple & Microsoft, the Zune is honestly a good device. For 249, you get radio, clear & solid playback, and unlike itunes, i can listen to all the music i want for $15.00 a month, and if i decide i really like the song, i can buy it for $0.79. Not to mention, a bigger screen, and quicker response then the ipod. movies load with just about no pause time, i can customize the background in each menu, its real simple operation , not to mention pretty well built and not all fragile like the ipod is ,no scatch prone design here..dont get me wrong, i love,...."loved" ipod. and you can spit on anything with the microsoft logo all you want, but the fact of the matter is,. Ol' Bill is sitting 50+ BILL, Micro is worth 400+ BILL, they dominate, and its for a reason, now they have a worthy MP3 player, and i can talk, i own and use one, and i've owned and used an ipod (which i sold to buy the Zune). all the bashers dont take it personally, Apple is still a great company, their machines are amazing! and so is the ipod, but give props where props are DUE, the Zune has earned it

Excellent player, Zune Marketplace needs more development

Summary: I got my zune this week and it has beat my expectations. I am moving from a third generation iPod, so I am not using the current breed of video iPods as a reference point in this review.
Device - it is about the same thickness as my old 3G iPod but still a little longer. The size isn't unbearable, but like most users I would have liked something a little smaller. But honestly if size was my only deciding factor, I would have got a nano. In just a few days, I have grown to like the softer, velvety feel of the Zune over the slick, glass-like feel of the iPod. This is probably a personal preference thing, so unlike other reviewers I won't imply that I am the authority on this factor.
User interface / navigation - After only an hour or two of use, I was immediately used to the twist navigation and like it quite a bit more than the drill down approach on the iPod. Again probably user preference, but the lack of the iPod click wheel approach really enables this navigation approach which I feel is superior.
Zune Marketplace - this is the one shortcoming of the device. I will not comment on content available, b/c I don't have a good reference point. 100% of my music comes from CD's or MP3's from emusic.com. As such there is no DRM issues for me. The marketplace software though, must incorporate a way to manage podcasts in future releases / upgrades. This is much more difficult to manage in the Zune marketplace than in iTunes. Similarly the smart playlists in iTunes offer more options to users than the auto playlists in Zune. Specifically, the Zune software does not allow you to use other playlists as a filter for creating auto playlists (e.g., this makes it difficult to create a playlist that sources from 2 or more genres and must incorporate a rating of at least 4 stars). Transferring my music from iTunes to Zune marketplace was painless (it pulled in ratings and playlists with no problems, but it could not pull in smart playlists). Only other criticism is that I am a big fan of last.fm, and there is not a plug-in yet that enables last.fm to track the songs I play through the Zune marketplace (as a result, I am actually still using iTunes to listen to music on the PC - if last.fm or someone comes up with a plug-in, I would switch to Zune marketplace to listen to music on the PC).
Display - it would be great to have a higher resolution screen, but frankly it is more than sufficient for pictures, videos and album art. The album art view during music playback is one of the nicer features of the zune.
Sound - again I think this is a personal preference thing. I think both the Zune and iPod sound quality are sufficient for an MP3 player - this isn't a high-end home stereo after all. I may be wrong on this, but it seems like the iPod plays a little louder.
Overall I've been very happy. Try to read the reviews from people that actually own these to get a real perspective on how they work. I am neither pro- nor anti-Microsoft (actually I own both a mac and a windows-based pc). It may be impossible to do, but if you get around all of the microsoft haters giving reviews, my guess is that this device would be comparable to the other leading mp3 player reviews on CNET. I just need to find more users out there so I can try the sharing feature (no thoughts on that yet)...6 out of 6 users found this user opinion helpful.
Redefining Refinement.
by Leindurstit on November 14, 2006
Pros: Attractive, Profession look. Superb interface. Excellent and high-quality playback.
Cons: No WMP support. Button miss-pressing. Limited Wifi.

Summary: Rarely do you see a product from Microsoft that isn't subject to a barrage of heavily (and I do mean _heavily_) biased reviews, comparing it to other products and services that typically doing whatever Microsoft's products do, only better. Look at the so-called "credible" reviewers working for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Whatever happened to journalist standard of forming and supporting a credible and unbiased opinion? Perhaps if you set the competition aside (or look at it on less subjective and comparative scale) you will be able to grasp a fair review of a product. But may I say that even the Zune does not require this formality, for it is a capable, stable, and solid product in nearly every regard.
Having been looking forward to the November 14th release date for a while now, it was safe to say that I was overjoyed when the day finally came. After getting up in the morning, eating a quick breakfast, showering, and heading off to my single class for the day, it finally hit me that today would be the day that I would experience the Zune first-hand. Certainly the harsh words put out by the big-league review columnists couldn't be completely true, right?
Come 10 AM, and there I was standing at the local Circuit City, eager to finally get my hands on the product. After corralling a service rep to fetch one from the display case, making the choice of Black for color, checking out, getting back in the car, driving home, and getting upstairs to my computer, the time that I had longed for finally came to fruition.
The first thing you'll get with Zune is the brown package. The box itself is fairly small, and is opened by pulling the top off from the bottom. Once open, you will be greeted with the phrase "Welcome to the Social," on the side of the inner box. Open a the flip-out side panel, and you will see your Zune for the first time, nestled in an indentation in the packaging. A brown cord allows you to dislodge the Zune from the packaging, and two more flip-out panels to the left and right of the Zune house the magnetic black ear buds, and the sync USB cable. Another opening at the top houses a small instructional guide, software, and other papers, along with a carrying pouch. Overall, the packaging is nice, and allows you to get to your product fairly quickly. The instructions are very simple, and you won't have much of a problem figuring them out. The carrying pouch, however, is too small and tight-fitting, and seems to be provided to prevent damage from scratches, rather than impacts.
Installing the software doesn't take too long, and after a restart, you are prompted to plug in the device. You will be given the opportunity to name the device, and you will then be guided to setting up a Zunetag account. I haven't yet set up any online service with the device yet, so I cannot comment on how well the Zune store functions. The device will automatically synchronize your music the first time out, with the option of synchronizing your pictures and videos as well. The process went fairly fast, and any additional syncs after the initial load are quick. The Zune software itself seems to be derived heavily from Windows Media Player 11, as the album-based libraries and options dialogues will suggest, and everything fits well and is laid out in a practical manner. While some may be turned off by the fact that you can't just use Windows Media Player for adding music, it should be noted that you would require a new piece of software anyway if you want to upgrade your devices software when it is updated.
Once all of your media is loaded, it's on to the Zune itself. Physically, the device is tall, as to accommodate its 3-inch QVGA display, and is semi-thick; no thicker than the size of a small-medium cell phone. The device is finished in a rubbery matte finish that feels very sturdy and lays true on a flat surface. The button layout and functionality is well designed, and the only problem you will have navigating the exceptionally streamlined and intuitive menu system is accidentally pressing the center button instead of up on the directional circle, as they are both finished smooth and shiny. The portrait-based display is very efficient for displaying lists of albums, songs, or play lists, and the album-art centric Now Playing screen also features an thoughtful layout, showing you the pertinent information to your current song. Video and picture playback forces the device into landscape mode, rotating the screen 90 degrees counter-clockwise. This allows you to take full advantage of the large screen when viewing said media.
While the Wifi's state in the device is virtually crippled, it is reassuring to know that it may very well be taken advantage of in a more practical fashion through future software updates. The sharing feature is nice in theory, but the limitations that are imposed even on non-copy protected music seems a bit excessive, especially for elusive tracks that won't be easily found on online music stores.
The FM Radio feature is a very nice addition, and the display of track and station information is incredibly nice and useful. Reception won't be without occasional static, but overall it is very consistent and distortion-free. While you cannot record live radio as you can with other players, the ability to view track information is a near-exclusive feature and is very valuable.
Overall, playback is smooth and uninterrupted by jostles and bumps, and the menu system is responsive and polished. Audio quality is top-notch, with all levels of audio - bass, midrange, and treble – reproduced accurately and crisply. The unit allows for several equalizer presets, and each one has a unique sound to it. The absence of a bass-boost feature may seem like a loss, but you'll be surprised by the amount of kick you receive by the default settings that you'll learn to not miss such a feature. Video playback is also smooth, but while I haven't encountered a problem yet, you may be prone to skipping or momentary pauses due to excessive bumping or movement, since the device is not solid-state.
The device, while larger than other players on the market, holds a presentable, professional and refined look. The physical integrity (yet curiously lightweight construction) of the case only bolsters the units longevity and standout power. The semi-transparent case with a "double-shot" of color looks very cool in person, and the unit definitely stands out among the sea of white-colored devices. It is also a magnet for popularity at the office, as one person tells another person, who tells two other people about your new Zune…and they all try to use the directional-pad as a touch pad for some reason…
My only gripes about the device come from the people who brush it aside under the veil of being a Microsoft product. Microsoft isn't printed on the device for a good reason: it's unlike any other Microsoft product you will have ever used. The intuitive interface is easy and fun to use, the synchronization is fast and seamless, and the product's longevity through software updates gives you reassurance that even though it is a first-generation product, you won't be sorry when they announce a software breakthrough.
I personally recommend the device for those seeking a competent, well-rounded media player. The combination of easy-to-use software and superb playback is a major strongpoint of the device, and the Wifi feature, while limited now, will most definitely come into play in more useful ways in the near future. The only shortcomings of the device are limited format support, and the need for separate software and drivers to make the unit work on a computer. In the end, the product is a positive mark for Microsoft's Zune initiative, and if the goals of the product are anything like that of the Xbox, then we may have a product with some serious competitive power in a very short time.7 out of 10 users found this user opinion helpful.
Zune is ok for a first draft, but needs improvement
by cherrera2001 on December 27, 2006
Pros: Easy to use interface (on the Zune itself), good battery life, decent availability of accessories, availability of the "all-you-can-download" type option for songs
Cons: Worthless WiFi feature, Zune software application needs serious help, no video selections on Zune Marketplace
Summary: I have been an iPod guy for a while, I'm not a Mac addict or a pc addict (actually I like Debian Linux) however, I decided it's time ...
Summary: I have been an iPod guy for a while, I'm not a Mac addict or a pc addict (actually I like Debian Linux) however, I decided it's time to try something new. I've kept up a bit with the portable mp3 player market so I knew a bit about what to expect. I do like the interface, and the fact that the factory skin of the player is not as susceptible to damage as the iPod's. I also like the interface a few more "personalization" type of options like wallpapers.
I don't like the wireless features. I think if they spent the time and engineering effort to put a wireless card in it, that they should at least have the ability to sync wirelessly, or download songs wirelessly. Currently you can only share songs Zune to Zune. You can play the full song for 3 days at which point you are prompted to purchase the song.
The "all-you-can-download" Zune pass which is 14.99/month is nice. My mood in music changes a lot, some days I like electronic, other days I like metal and this allows me to download to my mood. Of course, they are DRM'ed so that you cannot burn the music. If you want to burn the music you will be prompted to buy it. Also if I cancel my subscription all the music I had downloaded (that was not purchased on top of the 14.99/month) will cease to work.
The Zune software has issues. It locks up a bit, and periodically causes IE 7 to crash. It also has a hard time recovering a download if a freak network outage occurs. It was interesting to see that they did not merge it with Media Player that comes with Windows.
I do like the compatibility with the Xbox, but of course it is catered towards the 360. It's a pretty easy link to create and is handier than streaming music from my Windows box to my Xbox.
Overall, I would say, if you are looking to the Zune for a host of new features over the iPod, don't expect the features to be there. The iPod does its job and it does it well (even has fun little games, the Zune does not). The iTunes software is a proven piece of software and (aside from the few bugs in the new release of iTunes) seems to be on a constant track for improvement. I can't say that the Zune is on a constant track for good things or bad. I like the Zune, (I would like to see some of the features re-vamped) but I don't think that I will be selling the iPod's anytime soon.Updated
The first feature that, at least, turned my eyes was the FM tuner. I know that others have integrated this into their mp3 players, and I wish that Apple had/will put it in the iPod. However, it is a nice addition to this music player.
Also I forgot to mention that there was a firmware upgrade for my Zune. It, I think, significantly fixed a lag problem while navigating the player. So at least the updates are taking the right direction.5 out of 6 users found this user opinion helpful.

Kick off 20:00 BST at Wembley Stadium
By Nicholas Veevers at Wembley Stadium
Click here for the match highlights on video. Click here to watch the exclusive pitchside highlights. It was a frustrating night for England at Wembley, as they were held to a draw by Group G leaders Montenegro despite enjoying the vast majority of possession and chances over the course of the game.Zlatko Kranjcar's side arrived in England sitting on top of the group with three wins from three games so far, but they showed none of their previous ambition in this encounter and went away from Wembley with exactly what they wanted - a point.With nine men behind the ball at all times, Montenegro had set their stall out for a draw and left it down to England to break them down without even showing the slightest intention of hitting the Three Lions on the counter-attack.And it worked. Even when Fabio Capello's men did manage to get a sniff of goal from the little space they were afforded, they found a goalkeeper in Mladen Bozovic in formidable and reliable form.Whilst it wasn't pretty at times, Montenegro will see it as a good job done in what was their biggest game of the campaign to date and amazingly, they came the closest to winning it with a late shot against the bar from midfielder Milan Jovanovic.That would have been extremely rough justice though and it could have been so different, as England almost took a somewhat fortuitous lead after two minutes, when Steven Gerrard struck a driving pass towards the area for Peter Crouch. The big striker stretched for it but failed to make contact and as ball drifted past him, it almost caught Montenegro goalkeeper Mladen Bozovic out with its flight and pace before eventually flying narrowly wide of the post.The first clear chance came in the 16th minute though. With a free-kick in the final third, the Montenegrins were expecting a delivery into the area, but Gerrard cleverly slid a free-kick out to the unmarked Glen Johnson on the right instead. He played an early cross into the area, but Crouch directed his header over the bar from eight yards out. Ashley Young then won England a free-kick in a promising position when he twisted past two defenders from the left before being unceremoniously knocked to the ground by Miodrag Dzudovic on the corner of the area. Young dusted himself down to take the free-kick, but his swerving delivery was missed by everyone and drifted behind for a goal-kick.Adam Johnson was a whisker away from scoring just after the half-hour mark when he struck a direct free-kick at goal from 30 yards following a trip on Crouch. Bozovic was scrambling across his goal-line, but fortunately for him and his team, the ball flashed just wide.With half-time five minutes away, Wayne Rooney managed to fashion some space for himself on the right hand side of the area, but his square pass towards Crouch was cut out and moments later, Crouch returned the favour with a knock-down but again the visiting defence were alert enough to clear the danger.Rooney then stung the hands of Bozovic in first half added time, when Gerrard's fine pass picked out Glen Johnson on the right. His first ball into the area was half-cleared but only as far as the Manchester United man who didn't really connect fully with his shot.With no changes for the second half, the onus was again on England to attack and the purpose was outlined from the off. Firstly, Rooney struck an 49th minute howitzer just over the bar before Gerrard skipped around Jovanovic on the right only to fizz a centre across the area and beyond everyone.Rooney was denied again in the 59th minute, when Gerrard's slide-rule pass into the box picked out his diagonal run but when Bozovic blocked his initial shot, the 'keeper was up quickly to smother the ball at Crouch's feet.The Three Lions were beginning to find a bit of momentum, but found the visitors in resilient mood and more than prepared to take cautions for the cause with a series of cynical fouls. England weren't entirely innocent themselves, with Rooney, Young and Gareth Barry also collecting cards for their misdemeanours as the game threatened to descend into a niggly battle. With six bookings dished out in little over ten minutes, that was how it appeared to be going and Montenegro would certainly be the happier of the teams if it was to stay that way.With 20 minutes to go, Capello introduced Kevin Davies to the action in place of Crouch and it lifted the side. Firstly, Rooney forced Bozovic into an excellent save with a toe-poke from Davies' centre before Gerrard struck a 25-yarder at goal which the 'keeper was again equal to.Montenegro were fortunate not to give a penalty away in the 77th minute, when Jovanovic clearly handled the ball in the area when trying to clear Ashley's Cole's high cross. The referee was perhaps on the wrong side of the player to see the incident clearly, but he was offered no help by his assistant and the cries from players and crowd alike fell on deaf ears.As the game drifted into the final ten minutes, Montenegro managed to slow the game down even more and then had the cheek to almost score themselves. Substitute Fatos Beciraj beat Glen Johnson down the left and as his cross was only partially cleared by Gerrard, Jovanovic struck a fine dipping shot at goal which had Joe Hart beaten all the way,only to come bouncing back off the cross bar and out to safety. There was time for one last save from Bozovic, as he managed to turn Barry's shot away from goal following a chip into the box from Adam Johnson as England's night ended in sheer frustration.

Fall 2012 Study Abroad Fair a Huge Success
Author: Office of Study Abroad and Global Learning Date: Thursday, October 11th, 2012 | Return to Archive |
On Wednesday, September 26th, Mass Media and Technology Hall Lobby was the stage for the largest Study Abroad Fair in recent memory. With over 550 WKU student participating in the fair it was the largest event of International Reach Week. Students had the opportunity to learn about the range of study abroad options from a host of DELO supported Faculty Led Study Abroad programs, twelve independent study abroad providers in attendance, including KIIS, CCSA, Harlaxton, and Semester at Sea. The large turn out, nearly doubling last year's attendance, was noticed by providers, students, faculty and staff.
With the Study Abroad Fair being the most important promotional event of the fall 2012 semester, staff and student representatives of the Office of Study Abroad and Global Learning utilized all avenues for advertising and marketing the event. Through posters, table-tents, postcard invitations, signs, and most importantly, an announcement to a record crowd of 22,000 at a WKU football game, the word spread.
The Study Abroad Office saw the fruits of their labors when a record number of students came out to the fair to learn about how they could study abroad. The fair was strategically placed at MMTH, so that students that were just passing through could stop and collect pamphlets and literature about study abroad programs. Many of the providers were so inundated with students that they ran out of informational materials.
The large turn out, nearly doubling last year's attendance, was noticed by providers, students, faculty and staff. Feedback from fair participants was overwhelmingly positive. Michael Nelson, the representative from the independent provider CET, stated that the WKU Study Abroad Fair was the "best fair I've attended this year." Planning to carry this momentum forward, the Study Abroad team is excited to continue assisting any and all interested individuals in studying abroad.
One of the major draws of the fair for students was the scholarship raffle. Mary Newton, a Freshman Elementary Education Major, and PanPhailin Thaweechokthawornsakul, a Sophomore Chemistry Major, both will receive scholarships towards their international education programs. Mary plans to spend the fall of 2013 at Harlaxton in Grantham, England. PanPhailin has not yet selected a study abroad program.
For more information please contact Abby Leake, email@example.com, 270-745-6146
SAGL awarded a total of $65,000 in World Topper Scholarships to 160 WKU students who are studying abroad in upcoming terms. The World Topper Scholarship is one of a number of scholarships available to WKU students who pursue international experiences.
WKU graduates are successfully landing solid starting positions, thanks, in part, to the knowledge, skills and experience they gained on their undergraduate study abroad programs.
A record number of students participated in the Fall 2012 Study Abroad Fair in Mass Media and Technology Hall, which many providers described as one of the best they had attended in recent years.

By Bobby McGuire | Friday Aug 2, 2013
Record numbers of ex-gays descended upon the steps of the Supreme Courthouse. As this was their First Annual Ex-Gay Lobby Day for their (now postponed) First Annual Ex-Gay Month those record numbers were almost 10.

Tonight Facebook will debut an entirely new Facebook Profile during an interview on 60 Minutes (which explains why Facebook was weirdly encouraging all Facebook users to watch the show late in the week).
The update itself is a welcome overhaul of the look of the basic profile, drawing the viewer into a more image-related experience (such as your favorite authors rendered as their Page icons rather than words – thankfully you can edit the priority of the images shown now, not just a random sample of "Liked" elements as before).
It also brings a few new tricks – or at least tricks new to Facebook that might remind you of a few other social sites. One such feature: "Highlighting" your top connections. As they say themselves:
Relationships with close friends can be just as important as family. Now you can highlight family members and the other key people in your life, like your best friends or coworkers — all right on your profile.
Sounds an awful lot like MySpace's Top 8, eh? I can imagine the arguments already as we shuffle our best friends, kids, spouses and drinking buddies in a furious drive to avoid conflicts…
This "highlighting" comes from a tweak to the Friends List feature, allowing you to share your Friend Lists more like Twitter Lists. This makes your curated personal lists to potentially become a way for you to find similar interests, people, etc. (The new Facebook List features are well profiled at the blog Stayi N' Alive.) Of course, you can never share your Lists and there's a bevy of privacy controls to go with the new options.
There are lost of other smaller changes. My particular favorite is the "Projects" you can add under your employers – drawing attention to what you've worked on and who with, giving an interesting kind of due and credit to a particular idea or execution.

Guzan upbeat about Villa chances
Brad Guzan believes Aston Villa are far better placed this year to avoid the struggles of last term despite back-to-back defeats.
Villa started the campaign with a superb 3-1 victory at Arsenal last weekend but, within the space of eight demanding days, have followed that up with a 2-1 midweek defeat at Chelsea and Saturday evening's 1-0 home reverse to Liverpool.
Yet it is not all doom and gloom for a youthful Villa side, who having scrapped to preserve their top-flight status in manager Paul Lambert's first campaign at the helm, have already shown plenty of development and promise in those three matches.
And goalkeeper Guzan does not envisage another season in which the midlands club find themselves battling against the drop.
"I think the improvement is massive (from last year), it's evident to see the change not just on the pitch but the camaraderie and atmosphere that's at the training ground, in the dressing room," he said.
"And that's important because when you go through difficult times on the pitch you have to be willing to fight for each other, and you look around and our performances speak for themselves over the last week, especially against top teams.
"That's credit to what the manager and the coaching staff have done here in terms of changes and, more importantly, credit to the boys who have come in from last season and this season."
The United States international added: "It's never an easy season, this is in my opinion the best league in the world. So every game is always going to be a challenge.
Asked if Villa were in a better position to compete now, Guzan added: "Yes. I think with the players we have and the atmosphere that's been created, going forward we want to try and put together performances we can be proud of and if we do that like we have over the last week then we'll come out the better for it more times than not."
Optimism is also rife among Liverpool's ranks after Daniel Sturridge's excellently taken first-half winner at Villa Park secured the Merseyside club's best start to a Premier League campaign for five years.
For the second weekend in succession Sturridge, 23, proved the Reds' matchwinner, coming hot on the heels of sealing a 1-0 opening-day success over Stoke.
With two wins from their opening two games, it also means Liverpool are now unbeaten in 10 league matches including the back end of last term, with just one defeat in 14.
And ahead of next Sunday's eagerly-anticipated clash at home to fierce rivals Manchester United, boss Brendan Rodgers - operating without the services of suspended striker Luis Suarez - knows he could not have asked for a more solid start to the new season.
"It's much better than last year, it took us until September to get our first win," he said.
"Since January we've been getting better and improving, and it's all credit to the players, they've been absolutely first class.
"There's lots of speculation and a lot of distractions over the course of the summer with everything that's been written, but you have to give remarkable praise to them.
"They've stayed focused on our task, which was to make a good start. Our performance level last week against Stoke, with 25 shots on goal, and against Villa, it was a different type of game we had to play but we won. It was very, very pleasing.
"It's very early on but two games, two wins, two clean sheets - I can only be happy."

Di Canio is great for Town, says Kammy
6:00am Saturday 29th September 2012 in Sport
FORMER Swindon favourite Chris Kamara has issued a robust defence of Robins boss Paolo Di Canio – insisting the Italian's uncompromising approach stands him out as a top boss of the future.
Kamara is certainly familiar with Swindon having made over 200 appearances for the club in the 70s and 80s.
The 54-year-old TV pundit still keeps a firm eye out for his former employers and has watched Di Canio's performances this year with a keen interest.
The controversial Italian often caused a stir during his playing days with high profile incidents such as when he pushed referee Paul Alcock after being sent off for Sheffield Wednesday against Arsenal, or when he argued with West Ham teammate Frank Lampard over who would take a penalty. To Kamara, however, the displays of Di Canio – both this season and last – illuminate a managerial star of the future rather than a reckless renegade.
"Paolo is always in the news and people are always talking about him," said Kamara. "You can't fail to keep an eye on what he is up to really but I think he is great for the club.
"You know that you are not getting a manager in Paolo who is going to go about things in the same way as most other managers because he is different to the rest.
"But if he keeps being successful in the league and getting promotions and also winning the big games then he is going to get noticed and is going to be moving up the leagues and be in contention for other jobs."
n Chris Kamara is helping fans who may witness a giant killing in the Capital One Cup with an exclusive light-hearted video guide to treating the effects of shock. To view the video visit www.facebook.com/capitaloneuk.

Another good read which features alot of Kammy is the Jeff Stelling book. Its typical Jeff & very funny.
Got admit though the best football book I have read was the Lou Macari autobography. Features alot of the Town & an eye opener. A must read for all Town fans.

Pixelmator, the app that we like to refer to as "Photoshop for the masses," has just updated with a big release this morning bringing powerful new features to the Mac app. Pixelmator 2.1 introduces iCloud sync, Mountain Lion service sharing (allowing one to send images directly to Facebook, iPhoto, Flickr, Aperture, and more,) as well as support for the Macbook Pro with Retina display.
Additionally, new photo effects allow you to quickly add filters (vintage, miniaturize, rain, snow, etc.) to your images, and the Effects Browser lets you preview them quickly and easily.
Last, the price of the app has been dramatically reduced, as Pixelmator is now selling for $14.99, way down from the $59.99 price tag. You can buy Pixelmator on the Mac App Store.

Um...if Meowth learned to talk at a diction school in California, why does he have a New York accent?
Um...if Meowth learned to talk at a diction school in California, why does he have a New York accent?
The diction school was run by people from New York.
Now, this episode was my favorite episode out of the entire Kanto Sage. The theme and back story were so greatly implemented that I enjoyed this episode every time I saw it. Just the awesomeness of finding out how Meowth learned to talk and got into Team Rocket was well-executed into a interesting synopsis. A true classic!
I liked seeing Meowth learning how to walk haha overall a good episode
image way too big
strike two, whole sig removed
I can say it was an okay episode. Seeing Jessie and James protect Meowth was sweet. But, the funniest part was when Jessie and James danced off at the end.
Naruto AMV - Gaara - Hurt
InuYasha AMV - Koga - E for Extinction
Naruto AMV - Sakura - Cicada Moratorium
Naruto AMV - Tsunade - Sweet Sweet Cendrillon Drug
Fight me in Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 on PS3: YokoKuramaRose
Great to see the background from Meowth. I assume I wasn't the only one wondering why Meowth was so unique and felt more like a human then a Pokemon.
Meowth is proving a really good point here and that is the fact if you really wanna learn something then you can do it. I love all this scenes with dreams/vision and how to work for it.
i love meowth and it was great to see the background on him.
I saw it when i got the GBA video pack, and i still watch it when im bored. Iv'e probably seen it 50 times XD
I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
If you have a question about my religion, feel free to ask me or check any of these links:
This was a well-done episode focusing on Meowth's past. Even thought I don't really like Team Rocket, I liked them in this episode. It's nice to see how he learned to walk and speak like humans. He did it all to impress a female Meowth named Meowzie, but Meowzie rejected him and called him a freak....and this prompted Meowth to join Team Rocket, so he can become the richest 'freak'. But after all these years, Meowzie still thinks he's a freak(what a jerk)! I thought It's nice of Jessie and James trying to comfort Mewoth after he got rejected by Meowzie again.
I also liked seeing Ash, Brock, Misty and Delia dressing up in those fancy dresses in their fantasies. Misty was looking good in that Red dress and Delia was looking gorgeous in that White dress as well.
