What are your favorite features of this player?
Hello there, first post.
I have been looking for a good mp3 player for a while, and have basically boiled it down to this, the D2, and the Sansa Fuze. I am partial to the Fuze because my friend has one, my current mp3 player is a Sansa m250 (nothing fancy), and a bunch of my friends have them (Sansa's). But then thats a bit of a problem, because I don't want something that everyone else has (like iPoods ).
But anyway, back to the question: What are your favorite features of this player? What's something about this player that everytime you use it makes it worth the purchase?
Also, what are some nuisances?
|[Remove Advertisement]
-Browser times out in 5 seconds (bad if you have a large music collection)
-semi-difficult to use in your pocket (blind) unless the top buttons are configured a certain way (mine are +/-: vol, menu long: next track)
-little to no multiple playlist support
-DPL (create a temporary playlist that lasts until you remove the music on it or until you upgrade firmware)
-Theme changing (I can't stand the original D2+ theme so I use a different one found on iAudiophile.net forums)
-Flash Skin (customized now playing screens, built in Flash)
-Flash player (can play flash-based applications)
-Radio (I love the Lewis and Floorwax radio show every morning, and would miss it without the radio, luckily I get good reception at school)
-Best sound quality of any PMP/DAP I've owned so far, I don't know how the sansa compares, but this thing rocks!
I've never owned a sansa (might get a clip in the future for a backup) but SanDisk makes some pretty solid products from what I've heard (a friend sent his clip through the wash twice without significant damage, the thing still works perfectly fine) none of my sansa-qequipped friends are unhappy with the player they have (some have clips, some fuzes) but I've never realy played with them, mainly because I've never really had the need to.
Before my D2 I had a Zune, I liked it, but I wasn't thrilled with it, before that a Samsung T9, again I liked it, but wasn't thrilled. This is my favorite of the three by far.
Cowon iAudio D2 16gb (D2+ FW 2.11) + FiiO E5 + Head-Direct RE2s.
Pros: Flash Skins/Themes. BBE (makes for an awesome custom EQ). Flash apps (including a wikipedia app!!). Dictionary. Customizable hardware buttons.
Cons: It looks like a friggin' brick. Sometimes freezes when running flash apps. Also, did i mention that it looks like a friggin brick??
"I don't think, therefore I am not"
So with flash support, could I copy over a flash game and play it?
I don't think what it looks like is gonna matter much. Actually, looking like a brick might actually divert the possible thief/vandal.
Is the player responsive? My current mp3 player is usually unresponsive and it drives me nuts sometimes. :|
yes it's responsive and the flash game has to have a certain control scheme (arrow keys or mouse only) also should be 320x240 resolution
touch screen can be a pro or a con depending on your view as well
Cowon iAudio D2 16gb (D2+ FW 2.11) + FiiO E5 + Head-Direct RE2s.
The best thing is its drag and drop.....No itunes.
The only thing I hate is the M button is in the wrong place. For those whon think its to thick remember its got awesome battery life.
Well, considering I use linux, MSC was a mandatory feature. If the MTP implementation is a good one, it might work in Amarok, but that's not really something I'm looking forward too. :/
I was thinking the touchscreen would be bothersome, but since no one has complained about it, I'm hoping it won't be an issue.
I have a couple questions about the player:
Does the player respect CD track for songs? I have all my music assorted in folders of the artist, then the album, and everything has been properly tagged by mp3tag, so I'm *hoping* that it won't be a problem. (Unlike my current player. It sorts all the songs randomly so I load up my music via playlists which take a lifetime to load.)
How do you load music onto the player? Can you just load a single album at a time (like my current), or can you load up many albums into one large playlist and then play them?
Edit: Let me rephrase that question. How do you play music currently on the player?

if its like the s9 you can drag and drop as many albums as you want
COWON S9!!!! 16GB /Headphones - Sennheiser Cx400 Mk 2 Precision
Sound quality and customisability (BBE+ sound enhancements and a 5 band custom EQ) are both brilliant
Seriously long battery life
Folder/File Browsing
SDHC Slot
DAB radio (on mine anyway)
Drag and drop file transfer. Hate synching.
Custom themes and flash skins
Some good aps, like the built in drawing programme (very basic) and calculator and there's a note pad and tube map someone else made I find useful as well.
I like the way you can find a file really quickly by tapping in a rough area on the scroll bar, and then using the down button to go page at a time rather than file at a time (with + firmware). Normally no more than two three presses to find what I'm looking for.
I like the screen. It's small but me for its fine for videos.
No gapless
No proper playlist support
Despite the good system for browsing files, the UI makes you do a lot of screen presses to do anything in general
Won't recognise all album art, the album art wmp embeds wont show up. You may need to redo it all with MP3Tag (it's free though).
Despite the cons, I love this player.
The nice thing about the D2/D2+ is that you can search your music by EITHER the physical folder, or by the tags. It's the only player I know of that gives you this option.
I also have a Clip, which is supposed to sound similar to the Fuze. For me, the D2/D2+ sounds better, although the Clip does have a nice sound, as well.
Active DAP's: Cowon D3, Sansa Clip 2GB Rockboxed, modded Gigabeat F series
Non-working / Sold DAP's: Cowon S9, Zune 30, iPod Video 30/80GB, iPod 4G, Sansa E280, Gigabeat S60, iPod Shuffle 1G
Cans: Sennheiser HD 600, Yuin PK1, Sony MDR-V6
Before I bought it I was worried about navigation using the touchscreen. I shouldn't have worried - it works fine. And you can navigate by Album/Artist/Genre/etc. or simply by folder.
Regarding tracks in albums, I've found that so long as all the tags are correct, tracks are played in the correct order within an album.
For loading, I currently set the USB mode to MSC and then just drag-and-drop from Windows Explorer, so I can do several folders/albums in one go or just a single track - it's very flexible. Since you're running Linux, you should be able to just use cp -r <source directory=""> <target directory="" on="" d2=""></target></source> source_directory target_directory_on_d2 from the command line if you want. Each time you disconnect the D2 from from the computer it switches itself off, and when you next switch it on it scans its internal memory (and the SD card if you've fitted one) and updates its internal database with any new music it's found.
The only real issue I've found is with playlists. From a fair bit of experimentation I did, it seems that you need to leave the USB mode set permanently to MTP. I believe some people have had reasonable success with creating playlists in MediaMonkey and then syncing in MTP mode. However, I loathe and detest MTP, as do many others. So for now I've simply given up on playlists. You can create one Dynamic Playlist (DPL) directly on the D2, but generally playlist support is rather poor on this device.
In summary, I use my D2+ for listening to music and really nothing else. I don't worry about album art or changing themes or flash player capabilities, 'cos I just wanted something to listen to music, so how the screen looks isn't important as I'm only looking at it for a few seconds while I select what I want to hear.
And I think the sound quality is excellent! To be fair though, my cousin has a Sansa Clip and says that sounds excellent too.
I had a few concerns about this player before I bought it, but now I've had mine several weeks, I'm seriously happy with it!
Cowon D2+ 16Gb (f/w v2.02) w. SanDisk Ultra II 32Gb SDHC, Sony MDR-D77, Shure SE420, Bose IE Triport
I watch a lot of videos on my D2. The screen is barely large enough but it is large enough. The Fuze will play videos but not well and the screen is just a little too small.
For music I don't care. Each is as good as the other. My earphones aren't good enough that I can tell the difference.
My suggestion is toss a coin. They're both fine players and you'll like whichever one you get.
My point is that the key to choosing lies in deciding first what's important to you. 2 months ago, before I'd bought anything, my priority was to find something just to listen to music with good sound quality and lots of capacity. I then chose the D2+ since it does all that!
However, if it had been important to me to watch video, install games to keep me amused when I'm bored, or even check my e-mail via wi-fi either at home or in public wi-fi hotspots, then I would have got an iPod Touch since it does all those things and has a larger screen.
So (with my apologies if I'm stating the obvious!), first decide which features are most important to you, and then decide which device you believe does those things best. One device might be better at video than another. Another device might be the best at Flash applications. But if those are features which really aren't that important to you, don't get distracted by them.
Cowon D2+ 16Gb (f/w v2.02) w. SanDisk Ultra II 32Gb SDHC, Sony MDR-D77, Shure SE420, Bose IE Triport
- Small.
- Battery life. Real world 40+ hours music.
- MSC & drag/drop.
- SDHC gives a possible 48Gb flash memory.
- Customisable skins - either flash or non-flash.
- Fast UI. The UI could be a little better designed, but once you're used to it, it's very quick to find what you need. Is it responsive? Yes, always (with the exception of flash apps, see below).
- Very sensitive to dodgy ID3 tags. Try searching for "database corruption" on here and iaudiophile.net . Learn how to use mp3tag.
- Playlists. Not that I personally care about them, but still, it's not good.
Doesn't matter either way:
- Video: why buy a device this small for video?
- Flash: ditto.
- Looks: are in the eye of the beholder. I think it looks great, YMMV.
- Radio: a bonus, but not important, unless it is...
Just drag/drop as much as you like. Assuming (and it's a BIG assumption) your tags are good this works fine. See note above about database corruption. Next reboot after file copying, the D2 rebuilds its database.

The reason you buy a video player with a small screen is so that you can put it in your pocket and not have to carry a backpack. A 2.5" screen in front of your face is the same as a 20" TV across the room. I take it most of you are to young to remember having a 19" screen was awesome?
Radio for me is very important only because I use 88.5 to record from the FM transmitter of my sirius satellite radio.
So far everyone I have shown that has an ipod they now wish they knew about the D2. Hands down the best player on the market.
Seriously, if you enjoy watching video on a 2.5" screen, then all power to you. I suspect you'd be in the minority however ...

You may have guessed Ian that I'm of similar age to you. And there will be many reading this thread now thinking "What's an LP?"
But going back to the matter of small screens, likewise I personally see no appeal in watching anything longer than a couple of minutes on a screen the size of an iPod Touch or Sony PSP, let alone on anything smaller. Any TV show or movie that I want to watch, I'd far rather see on a proper screen from the comfort of my sofa. But then, each to their own!

Nearly Naked Rihanna Poses in Underwear Stuffed With Dollar Bills
Just in case you needed reminding that Rihanna works hard for her money, we present Exhibit A: the international music star sitting on a throne wearing a denim thong stuffed with cash money.
There's a lot going on in this photo so let's break it down. First, the golden throne and the luxurious fur. RiRI's a queen. Got it. Then the white wig and the wacky glasses. She's a nearsighted Marie Antoinette. Check. The bedazzaled boob cage (somehow the word "bra" seems to imply far too much coverage). Rihanna just got back from another festival in her home nation of Barbados and didn't have time to change. Or, it would seem, find a wallet to stuff all those dolla bills in.
For more photos of Rihanna's latest photo shoot, check out her Instagram.
Tired from Rihanna interpretation time? She is too, collapsing on the floor amongst her moolah in another photo. This shot also gives us a closer look at RiRi's shoes. Who knew Ben Franklin could look so good? And don't even get us started on those fingernail gloves.
What do you make of Rihanna's look? Too much going on or are you dying for your own pair of hundred dollar print high heels? Sound off in the comments below.

Golden Wrench Award
Winning nomination, submitted by Peri Grenell
Dear Tom and Ray:
I have the best car repair guys!
I love Dick's Auto Care in Mansfield, CT. I'd like to nominate Dick for Car Talk's Golden Wrench Award.
I have a '97 Dodge Neon with almost 190,000 miles on it. When I asked if I should start looking for a car to replace it they said, "Why, it's got another winter in it."
They keep it and me alive. When the brake light came on they wouldn't let me drive it to them, but came and got it and sure enough, the brakes would have gone on the way to the shop.
They drive people home, the pick up my snow tires and are just really good old-fashioned honest good guys -- and pretty funny too. It's a little shop with great mechanics, four of them. They've been in the same location forever!
Just thought someone ought to know about them.
Sincerely,Peri Grenell

I feel for you as my thoughts turn towards the REDS. However, that is why I
think IDS such as BlackIce with its IDS/firewall or something like Snort/IDS
would come into play on public or forwarded ports by the router. I am not
saying that IDS a cure all, but at least it's, a little something extra in
the protection locally on the machine.
I don't know how many times I have seen a post where person has Web services
running no router/NAT or NAT period, and something like cheese cloth ZA,
Outpost, Norton, Tiny etc. etc setting in front of the services. I am not a
security expert, but I do know better then that, along with keeping Critical
Updates up to date.
Well time for bed. Hey, look at it this way, football season will be upon us
soon and maybe my RAIDERS will do some damage this year and get lucky.

(BlackDoctor.org) — It is flu season now. Hence, parents need to know all about flu and do everything to prevent flu in children. Influenza, commonly called, the flu, is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract that sometimes spreads to the lower regions of the airway. The infection is contagious that spreads even through infected droplets generated by a cough or sneeze from an infected person and his/her oral secretions like saliva.
Parents often tend to mistake flu as just common cold. Thus, only a parental awareness about the symptoms of flu can effectively protect children from this viral infection. In children, the typical symptoms include persistent fever that lasts for more than three days with temperature shooting upto forty degrees Centigrade. Symptoms like Croup, Pneumonia, Aches and Vomiting are also frequent. In infants, the symptoms are not specific and hence, often treated as bacterial infections. Poor feeding and lethargy may indicate flu in infants. Thus, detection of flu symptoms is the most difficult problem for parents in such cases. If your child has persistent high fever beyond a period of three days with typical respiratory infection symptoms like continuous thick nasal discharge or respiratory distress and exhibits lethargy it could be flu fever. Other indications include symptoms of dehydration. The child cries without tears, exhibits dry tongue/lips and urination is abnormally poor.
Parents have the right to suspect flu – but only your doctor has the right to treat. The doctor usually detects flu not only by just observing the typical symptoms such as fever, lethargy and breathing distress, but also by accurate laboratory diagnosis. Parental care includes medicine administration prescribed by the doctor, allowing rest, feeding adequate fluids, cleansing the child's nose before feeding and sleep. It is better to use a sterile rubber suction tube in infants to cleanse the nose gently. Sterile tissues can be used in older children. Humidified air gives comfortable sleep.
Although, many FDA approved antiviral drugs are in use to treat flu in children and infants, prevention is better than cure. This especially true with flu because of the fact many antiviral drugs prescribed for treating flu in adult patients have not been approved for treating children and infants due to various side effects including seizure like disorders.

A beloved comic ripped the other day.
Hal and I had hung it up years ago in the companionway. Marianna was still little enough she could run around and around on the seats in the boat without cracking her head on a thing. She also was in the hop-hop-hop mode of transportation. She'd hop onto the boat clinging to the rail, swing under, run to the cockpit, hop over the combing to the seats, run around the cockpit once or twice, hop down to the floor area and bounce down each step of the companionway.
Any unsuspecting person below decks was guaranteed a minor heart attack as this 50 pound squirrel was cavorting over their heads.
So it was with a saddened heart that I removed the comic that was not so relevant anymore. Marianna no longer resembles that 50 pound squirrel being all legs and braids and stealth. Oh yes, she has taken good notes from Harriet the Spy and can sneak up on lizards and mothers with equal aplomb.
However, waiting forgetten all these years under the comic was this pretty little plaque.
Now, I know you most likely cannot read it but just below the topmost chain it says "Oh Lord, my boat is so small," followed along the bottom with "and Your sea is so great." To the right is an image of St. Christopher and the words "St. Christopher be my guide."
I have zero recollection of ever having seen this before. Isn't that weird? It is now one of my most favorite things on this boat though!
Beautiful evening tonight, Hal and I wandered down the docks to view the sunset with a fine glass of wine. The air was warm while the breeze was cool. I took a million photos of clouds that look like they'd be perfect backdrops for those celestial infant photos new mom's are drawn to purchase. A few turned out slightly more vivid as the sun sank lower, more sunset while listening to Beethoven rather than Brahms, if you know what I mean!
Of course, anytime the sun approaches the horizon here a chorus of conchs begins, A-Dock is echoed by C-Dock, boats on moorings join in. Some folks pull out air horns (cheaters!) or even flutes (who is that, anyway???).
Others jump in boats for a little cocktail cruising. This particular lady is just back from the sandbox and her kitty won't hardly leave her side. Have you ever seen another cat that would eagerly jump into a dinghy for a ride?
Finally, a recipe I don't want to forget as it is soooo good! Today is St. Isidore's Feast Day. This Spanish farmer inspired a grilled vegetable with picada dish tonight. I doubled the picada and breaded some orange roughy for the grill as well.
On the grill:
Bell peppers
Japanese eggplants trimmed, cut lengthwise into 3 slices
Green or yellow zucchini trimmed, cut lengthwise into slices
Olive oil (for grilling)
For the dish:
6 Tbsp olive oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 tsp dried crushed red pepper
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp wine vinegar (which I couldn't find so left out)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano (left out, too $$$, a whole plant was cheaper than a package)
Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add breadcrumbs; stir until golden, about 3 minutes. Season breadcrumb picada to taste with salt.
Place vinegar in another small bowl; whisk in 3 tablespoons oil. Mix in parsley and oregano. Season to taste with salt. (or dump oil over parsley and call it finito)
Arrange vegetables on platter. Spoon herb dressing over; sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

FOR TODAY: May 12...
Outside My Window...
Low, racing clouds are tangling in the masts of the sailboats
I am thinking...
Summery, sandy thoughts
I am thankful for...
This poem given to me by Marianna for Mother's Day:
Daintily you sip
Topaz, Ruby, Onyx gleams
There you are, then gone.
From the kitchen...
Asparagus, roast beef and bleu cheese wraps
I am wearing...
A brilliant cotton sundress in retro greens and turquoise
I am creating...
A new summer notebook for grocery lists and notes
I am going...
To consider what it will take to complete a writing project I've been dabbling with this spring
I am reading...
I just began At Risk by Alice Hoffman this morning in the cockpit with coffee, a rosy sunrise and a blackbird chorus
I am hoping...
this blustery weather settles by Thursday
I am hearing...
Rigging clanking on masts, waves slapping the hull, the dinghy bumping the boat
Around my home...
Buena Vista Social Club is blasting (the first song is perfection, isn't it?), Marianna is crafting a mask and I'm debating on Italian Roast coffee or Lavender Green Tea this afternoon.
One of my favorite things...
Sand between my toes while watching herons fly home in the evening
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
Organization!!! The holds they are a-bursting!!!
Here is a picture thought I am sharing...
Thank you, Peggy, for the thought-provoking Daybook.
Isn't live music simply the best? That is one of the #1 great things about Key West, you can find live music 24 hours a day in this town.
The other night we stopped in at our favorite Irish pub and Fiona Molloy from New York City was crooning her heart out. Since I just happened to have my camera handy I played around with natural light B&W photos. Black and white just seemed like a natural choice for the atmosphere that night.
And Fiona - I'm sorry I freaked you out! Here I was thinking the no-flash thing would be unobtrusive and inconspicuous. In a small venue nothing goes unnoticed, I guess!
Now whenever we groove along with local band Mile Marker 24 the tropical rhythms call for super saturated brilliant color, don't you think? You can hear one of MM24's songs over in the song box, right after the Beach Boys' Kokomo.
And Howard - you on the otherhand are way too fond of the camera.
I'm posting this under April Showers of Photos even though it is May - I think it'll turn into my general photography tag. Have a great weekend! I think we'll try to fit a bit of music in! Is music in your plans too?

Well, they weren't really Cinco de Mayo Margaritas as I had to work Monday but my, my, my! have they been delicious Seis de Mayo y Siete de Mayo Margaritas! It has been the week of the quesadilla here aboard the S/V Mari Hal-O-Jen, chicken on Monday and steak on Tuesday and last night a super terrific and easy Mexican-inspired soup.
one can beans (I used black beans) and shredded chicken to taste.
Top with Sharp Cheddar, diced tomato and sour cream.
Dick the Dog just in at the Navigator Monday evening from skateboarding down Duval Street. Really. I don't make these things up! He is a great 'boarder, you may have seen him on the Today Show, Good Morning America, CNN or on the cover of the Washington Post.
I just saved my post and saw the title "Mayo Margaritas" and nearly grossed myself out - mayonnaise margaritas??? What the...?
I apologize profusely if you too were taken aback and I can assure you no mayonnaise jar came within 1 foot of the shaker when making the margaritas.
Tequila - yes.
Key Limes - yes.
Triple Sec - yes.
Mayo - NEVER!

A most heartfelt thank you to all the participants in the April Showers of Photographs. I'd like to extend a May Flower to each and every one of you! With that in mind I carried my camera along on a walk with Marianna yesterday, snapping the wildflowers as we came across them. Then tonight I browsed through each of your blogs and selected my personal favorite photo from your collections.
"Go East," they said...

AUSTIN, December 4. THE University of Texas won both the men's and women's team titles at this weekend's Texas Invitational in Austin, but it was the #2 and 3-place teams, Arizona and Wisconsin, that stole the show.
On the final day of the three-day meet, the Arizona Wildcats continued to demonstrate just how tough they'll be in the freestyle relays at the 2005 NCAAs.
The men's 100 free is a case in point, and it proved an interesting counterpoint to yesterday's 200 free. In that race Arizona's Lyndon Ferns won the final in a very fast 1:34.63, but teammate Simon Burnett took the B final in an NCAA/US Open record 1:32.22. Tonight it was Burnett who took the 100 free final in an impressive 42.96, ahead of Texas' Garrett Weber-Gale at 43.53. But Ferns won the B final in an even faster 42.57, splitting 20.35 at the 50. (Later, Burnett led off the 400 free relay in 42.90).
Not to be outdone, the Lady Wildcats' Lacey Nymeyer swam a pr 48.80 to take the 100 free with Texas' Sarah Wanezek a strong second in 49.16. But the second fastest 100 was turned in by the Cats' Jenna Gresdal, who took the B final in a pr 48.96.
In an unlikely coincidence, Arizona's Nate Stevens and Dave Rollins tied for first today in the 200 breast in 1:57.56. Earlier in the meet, Rollins tied for first with teammate Ivan Barns in the 100 breast at 54.18.
USC's Larsen Jensen and Michigan's Peter Vanderkaay waged a titanic battle in the men's 1650 free, with the Olympic silver medalist getting the win in 14:44.89, three strokes ahead of Vanderkaay at 14:47.89 – the nation's two fastest times this season.
Wisconsin won the first two women's events today, with Olympian Carly Piper getting things rolling with an impressive 16:06.91 in the 1650.
Susan Johnson followed with a 1:55.32 victory in the 200 back, just ahead of USC's (and Britain's) Joanna Fargus at 1:55.74 in a race that saw the first five finishers better the NCAA automatic qualifying standard.
Arizona's Erin Seiper took the 200 breast in 2:11.29 ahead of Wisconsin's Amalia Sarnecki at 2:12.01.
Arizona went 1-2 in the 200 fly with Emily Mason clocking 1:55.40 to Whitney Myers' 1:56.11.
The men's 200 back was won by Michigan's Chris DeJong in a very swift 1:42.41 while teammate Davis Tarwater took the 200 fly in 1:44.80.
Arizona won both the women's and men's 400 freestyle relays. In the women's race, the Wildcats finished 1-2, their "A" team clocking 3:17.55, and their "B" team finishing in 3:18.25.
The Cats won the men's race as well, despite swimming without Lyndon Ferns. At the finish, Arizona punched in at 2:56.11, followed by Michigan in 2:56.92.

CSX posts record first quarter earnings
April 18, 2012 - LM Editorial
Class I railroad carrier CSX last night reported record first quarter earnings of $449 million and $0.43 per share.
The earnings per share performance exceeded Wall Street expectations of $0.38 per share and was up 23 percent annually.
Quarterly operating income was up 11 percent at $856 million and revenue was up 6 percent annually at $2.96 billion. The quarterly operating ratio for CSX of 71.1 percent was 140 basis points better than the first quarter of 2012.
CSX said first quarter volume was up 1 percent annually, with increased shipments in merchandise and intermodal more than offsetting declines in its coal business.
"Despite significant weakness in utility coal, we continue to see broad-based revenue growth across nearly all of our markets," said Michael Ward, CSX President and CEO, on an earnings call. "Our team supported the revenue gains with excellent results in safety, service, and productivity."
And while the first quarter was record-breaking, CSX is bullish in near-term future growth prospects.
Clarence Gooden, CSX executive vice president, sales and marketing, said on the call that most key indicators continue to project annual growth in 2012, which supports CSX' expectation that the second quarter outlook is favorable for 58 percent of its volume—which includes intermodal, automotive, metals, forest products, and phosphate and fertilizer—and stable for 32 percent of its volume—which includes chemicals, emerging markets, agricultural products, food and consumer, and export and industrial coal.
Utility coal, which represents 10 percent of CSX' volume, is the only market with an unfavorable outlook. But with a growing economy, continued truck conversion from the highway, and on-boarding of CSX' new Maersk business, Gooden said intermodal is expected to continue to lead growth for CSX.
Revenue per unit for the first quarter increased by 4.9 percent at $1,851.

Please contact me if your bicycle was injured while using a Thule bicycle carrying case (the kind you use to transport your bike on a plane). The first time I used the case the bike showed up with a cracked frame when it arrived. Instead of standing behind their product, Thule has tried to blame everyone but themselves.
Though they have no evidence whatsoever, they blamed the bicycle manufacturer (Wilier) for manufacturing a bicycle with a cracked frame, they blamed the airline (though there was no evidence of harm during transport), they blamed me for packing it incorrectly (even though I have witnesses who saw me follow the packing instructions step by step), they even blamed the bike shop who inspected the frame and told me that the frame was cracked. They refuse to acknowledge the simple truth that the bike case did not protect my bike from harm during normal transport.
I think this is pretty reprehensible conduct on their part. Given the nature of their groundless claims, I suspect that I am not the only one who has been treated this poorly by Thule. Thule tells me that they have never before had a single claim for damage like this.
Please let me know if you have had a similar damage while using a Thule bicycle transport case.

There are a lot of Momisms out there. You know, those cliché Mom statements you swore you would never say. We fall victim to them without even thinking about it. They flow out of our mouths like water. I never really thought twice about using them until I recently uttered something that stopped me in my tracks. A wave of nostegia flooded over me and in that moment I realized I had become my Mother…
My Mom is a pretty special Lady. She was, is, and will continue to be the most important woman in my life. She molded me into who I have become today and I owe her so very much for that. It's funny though, for as much as I love my Mom, there are a few things she's said to me that I promised I would never say to my kids. They weren't mean or unkind words, I just heard them so much as a kid I really didn't want to have to say them myself. Here are few of my very specific "Double Momisms" as I like to call them. Momisms that my own Mom said to me…
1. "You can have one or you can have none"
2. "Use your words please"
3. "Complaining won't get it to you any faster"
4. "We'll get there when we get there"
For as much as I didn't want to say them, after I said "You can have one or you can have none" for the first time, I instantly felt more connected to my Mom. It brought back so many memories, but also so much understanding and gratitude. It's funny how sometimes it takes becoming a Mom to truly understand all the things your own Mom did. I may be a little more conscience about saying these things from now on, but when they do slip out I will smile and think of my Mom. I wonder what my daughter Rowan will say when she is older that will remind her of me? As much as we try to avoid it we always end up like Mother, like Daughter.
What are your own "Double Momisms"? What things do you say to your kids that you know your Mom said to you?

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Hello, and welcome to JustAnswer! I am preparing your response. Please remain online for a few moments, so you can get your answer right away.
If the infringement supposedly occured post-suspension, the plaintiff could have sued you, individually. As it seems that has not occurred, consider yourself lucky. If the corporation is not in good standing, and is doing no business and has no assets, there is not really too much to be concerned with, as the judgement would be virtually meaningless. If the NY corporation has not infringed on the mark and has not connection to the old corporation, it is not a proper party to the action. However, if the new corporations are alter egos for the suspended corporation, they are fair game. Be sure to keep clean and separate records.
Another thing to remember is that a corporaton is required to have an attorney to appear in a lawsuit. The corporation cannot be pro se.
Best of luck!

I'm planning a Beijing or Shanghai to Kashgar tour for the summer of 2010. I'm free between Jan and Aug 2010, so I have a certain amount of flexibility to accomodate someone else's schedule.
I'm a male, 21 year old, Chinese Canadian architecture student from Toronto. I speak fluent Mandarin. I get along pretty well with most people, so anyone is welcome to join me either for the entire duration or a portion of the trip.
I'm thinking of passing through Xi'an and then taking the northern silk road, though I am willing to deviate from this route if requested.
The trip will be around 6000km and fully self supported.
If you're interested, contact me at yan dot personal at gmail dot com.
I'd also be grateful for any accounts of cycling this part of the world, as well as any pertinent wisdoms in terms of routes, desert cycling, etc, etc.

It's now June, which means it is officially Mock Draft season. Now, as I'm sure you are aware, there are several weaknesses inherent in every mock, chief among them that only one set of reasoning and logic is used for 30 teams instead of 30 sets of reasoning and logic. What I think is a great idea for a team to do could be the exact opposite of what they think they should do. What I perceive as a weakness could be seen as a strength in the respective front offices. Surely, they have a better handle on their personnel than I do, and they've done exponentially more scouting. I am just one person, who, in an endeavor to learn who every prospect was, starting doing a mock draft and decided to post it on the internet.
With that done, let's mock this joint.
Round 1
1- Cleveland Cavaliers: Andrew Wiggins. SF, Kansas. 19 years old.
While there's certainly more than one way to go with this pick, the word on the street is that the Cavs aren't comfortable with Embiid's back issues in the long term, which would seem to leave this pick between Wiggins and Parker. For a team like Cleveland, with a ball-dominant, high-volume guy at point, Wiggins almost has to be the pick. What he could be is tantalizing. What he is right now should be good enough to get out on the break and defend his position at a high level from day one.
Alternate Pick: Joel Embiid
2- Milwaukee Bucks: Joel Embiid. C, Kansas. 20 years old.
If the Cavs took Wiggins, I have to imagine the Bucks would jump all over Embiid. Sure, they have Larry Sanders, but he's not nearly the player Embiid could be, and he's had his problems. Besides, when you're as bad as the Bucks were last year, there shouldn't really be anyone set in stone for the future. Except Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Alternate Pick: Dante Exum
3- Philadelphia 76ers: Jabari Parker. F, Duke, 19 years old.
Taking Parker at the three would do several things for Philly. First, it would allow Thaddeus Young to play off ball more than he did last season, where he remains an often lethal cutter and finisher. Secondly, it gives them a player to build an offense more advanced than "Michael Carter-Williams dribble a bunch" around a player they should be able to count on for an extended period.
Alternate Pick: Dante Exum
4- Orlando Magic: Dante Exum. PG, Australian Institute of Sport, 18 years old.
This would be, in my opinion, the easiest pick in the draft aside from Embiid at #2. The Magic have the makings of a solid core with Victor Oladipo, Nikola Vucevic, Tobias Harris and the like, but what they don't have is a point guard. Jameer Nelson isn't what he once was, and what he once was wasn't close to what Exum could be. In many ways, he remains a mystery, and what would the Magic Kingdom be without mystery? (throw tomatoes here)
Alternate Pick: Marcus Smart
5- Utah Jazz: Aaron Gordon. F, Arizona. 18 years old.
Truth be told, this is one of the harder picks to make in this entire draft. Utah has its share of needs (small forwards, mainly), but none of the forwards at this point in the draft seem to be likely. Another power forward probably isn't what the Jazz would want here, but luckily, Aaron Gordon is a tweener. He could, conceivably, play both positions. It's entirely possible that I'm merely making up a reason not to take Vonleh or Randle here and the Jazz'll just take the best player on their board.
Alternate Pick: Marcus Smart
6- Boston Celtics: Noah Vonleh. PF, Indiana. 18 years old.
The Celtics, despite what their fans might tell you, need help up front. Kris Humphries and Brandon Bass remain replacement-level at best, while Kelly Olynyk remains almost hilariously bad at times. Jared Sullinger proved to be pretty good, but I don't think he's going to be good enough to win with as your lead guy in the frontcourt, even in the Eastern Conference. Vonleh should be solid defensively from the get-go, and his physical profile is the sort that teams often gamble on. He's drawn comparisons to Chris Bosh, but he's a lot bigger than Bosh was at this stage.
Alternate Pick: Julius Randle
7- Los Angeles Lakers: Julius Randle. PF, Kentucky. 19 years old.
It's reasonable to assume that the Lakers would opt to draft a point guard in this draft, especially if one like Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart is available. However, the Lakers have never existed in the same reality as the rest of us, the reality where reason works and everything doesn't fall your way through sheer popularity and dogged richness. So the Lakers will likely pick the "biggest" name left, a guy who should be able to bully his way to a respectable career as a 15-18 point per game scorer. With how thin the Lakers' frontcourt was this season (and with Pau Gasol likely gone), this is hardly a silly pick. Just a very Lakers one.
Alternate Pick: Marcus Smart
8- Sacramento Kings: Marcus Smart. G, Oklahoma State. 20 years old.
As of this writings, reports have the Kings looking to trade this pick for a "veteran," so it's unlikely that this will even happen. If I were to factor trades into this, it'd be essentially impossible to do anything, so I'll just operate under the assumption that everyone will pick in order. It would be a very boring draft, but it would be a fast one. That being said, Marcus Smart would easily be the #1 guy on the board at this point, and the Kings will likely need a new point guard once Isaiah Thomas signs a larger deal somewhere else. Even if he doesn't, Smart could play next to him.
Alternate Pick: Nik Stauskas
9- Charlotte Hornets: James Young. SG, Kentucky. 18 years old.
This would be the first real reach in my mock draft, as Young, ranked #15 on DraftExpress' board, becomes the first shooting guard off the board despite being ranked below both Gary Harris and Nik Stauskas. However, he is a superior athlete and likely has a higher ceiling than either of those players. He's a gifted scorer and will immediately help improve what was among the worst offenses in the league this season. It just feels likely.
Alternate Pick: Zach LaVine
10- Philadelphia 76ers: Zach LaVine. G, UCLA. 19 years old.
Another pick, another reach. LaVine is one of the more polarizing prospects in what is a fairly polarizing class, and there would surely be some who call his being taken at #10 a huge reach. If any team is going to take a shot on him, why not the one with seven draft picks? What the 76ers need, besides everything, is solid rotation players. You can find those in the second round. What you can't find is a player with the upside LaVine represents. He's a fantastic athlete and profiles to eventually be a decent defender. He's got a workable jumpshot and could be a terror in the open court. If he's bad, he's bad. If he's great, he, Parker and Noel could form one of the best cores in the NBA.
Alternate Pick: Dario Saric
11- Denver Nuggets: Gary Harris. SG, Michigan State. 19 years old.
Speaking of "safe picks," Gary Harris is a prospect who has perhaps been hamstrung a bit by that label. Touted as a shooter, Harris is another wing prospect in this draft who should be able to defend at a decent level right away. If his shot translates to the NBA game, and the rest of his game fills out, he could be an Arron Afflalo-type, which is what the Nuggets haven't had since they traded Arron Afflalo.
Alternate Pick: Jusuf Nurkic
12- Orlando Magic: Doug McDermott. F, Creighton. 22 years old.
Truth be told, the Magic probably don't need another forward. What they need is more shooting, and no one offers more shooting in this draft than the NCAA's 5th all-time leading scorer. McDermott's performance at the combine shows that he might be more viable at the 3 than initially thought, and while the Magic have Moe Harkless and Tobias Harris, they've never shown a reluctance to play tweeners before and they won't now if they get a shooter the caliber of Doug McDermott.
Alternate Pick: Adriean Payne
13- Minnesota Timberwolves: Dario Saric. F, Cibona Zagreb. 20 years old.
Here's another "Timberwolves pick a white guy" joke, for free. With that over, Dario Saric is another interesting lottery-level guy in this draft. Some see him as the evolutionary Hedo Turkoglu. Some see him as a young Boris Diaw. Some see him as an athletically overmatched, poor-shooting point forward with a very low ceiling. Regardless, he's the sort of thing the Wolves need: a forward with a defined skillset.
Alternate Pick: Nik Stauskas
14- Phoenix Suns: Jusuf Nurkic. C, Cedevita. 19 years old.
Jusuf Nurkic is a giant person. He isn't a great athlete, but he isn't a bad one, and he projects to be a high-level finisher and point-scorer for his position whenever it is he decides to come to the NBA. The Suns have the luxury of both several first round picks and roster flexibility for miles if they want to take him. He could end up being very good in this league.
Alternate Pick: Adriean Payne
15- Atlanta Hawks: Nik Stauskas. SG, Michigan. 20 years old.
If Doug McDermott is the best shooter in this draft, no one told Nik Stauskas. While the Hawks already have Kyle Korver, their defeat at the hands of the Pacers proved that there's no reason that the Hawks can't have two three-point shooters. Or four. Or twelve. There are enough shots for everyone. Stauskas figures to be fairly effective off the dribble as well, and especially coming off screens. He fits right in.
Alternate Pick: TJ Warren
16- Chicago Bulls: Adriean Payne. PF, Michigan State. 23 years old.
It's looking more and more likely that Payne will be gone by the time this pick comes around, but if he's not, the Bulls should be all over him. He's got good size, can stretch the floor, is a better athlete than he seems and just projects as an all-around force for 15-20 minutes per game. With Carlos Boozer likely amnestied and Nikola Mirotic likely arriving, the Bulls don't need impact players in the frontcourt. They need depth. And hey, he's already old enough to be the veteran presence they seem to desire.
Alternate Pick: TJ Warren
17- Boston Celtics: Tyler Ennis. PG, Syracuse. 19 years old.
This is a pick that, in all honesty, I don't have much justification for. The Celtics have two first rounders, and they were bad, so I suppose taking the best player available isn't the worst idea. Plus, if Ennis ends up being good, it might soften the blow of the eventual Rondo trade.
Alternate Pick: Rodney Hood
18-Phoenix Suns: TJ Warren. SF, North Carolina State. 20 years old.
The Suns would jump all over Warren if he made it this far. He's a deccent athlete and an absolute terror in the open court. He can't shoot, but neither could PJ Tucker when he arrived in Phoenix two years ago. Warren might be a decent defender, but he might not. That's not what the Suns would draft him for. He's a scorer, in the classic Paul Pierce sense. He doesn't blow you away, but he just gets buckets.
Alternate Pick: Jerami Grant
19- Chicago Bulls: Elfrid Payton. PG, Louisiana Lafayette. 20 years old.
Another guy who likely won't be here at this spot, Payton is arguably the best perimeter defender in this draft, a Patrick Beverley type who not so much can't shoot as doesn't. He should be able to carve out a nice career as a disruptor off the bench who can get to the rim and use his well above average size to bully sparkplug types right back onto the bench. He could step right into Kirk Hinrich's minutes.
Alternate Pick: Rodney Hood
20- Toronto Raptors: Jerami Grant. F, Syracuse. 20 years old.
If there's anything the Nets series showed us, it's that the Raptors need more depth. They played John Salmons heavy minutes, so, using my advanced "Where Did John Salmons Play Heavy Minutes" formula, I have determined that the Raptors need more wings. Jerami Grant is one of those! And he won't shoot very much, so DeMar DeRozan likes him already!
Alternate Pick: Kyle Anderson
21- Oklahoma City Thunder: Rodney Hood. SF, Duke. 21 years old.
In all honesty, Rodney Hood should and will go earlier than this. He's a classic 3&D guy in today's NBA, a good, fluid athlete who shouldered a large role with Duke and generally acquitted himself well. A team like OKC, who always seems to be looking for a good wing to pair with Kevin Durant, could do a lot worse than Hood when replacing Thabo Sefolosha's minutes this offseason.
Alternate Pick: Cleanthony Early
22- Memphis Grizzlies: K.J. McDaniels. SF, Clemson. 20 years old.
At this point in the draft, picking for need is usually a better idea than picking whoever the "best player available" is (even if the best player available for most teams is whoever fits their needs). For the Grizzlies, that's less apparent. Theirs is an uncertain future, what with the front office turmoil and the Zach Randolph uncertainty. So the question remains: what is their best need? If they still think they're contenders, it has to be depth at the wings. Tayshaun Prince is bad (and should feel bad). KJ McDaniels is a good enough defender to satisfy the Grizzlies' percieved desire for everyone except Zeebo to be a great defender, and he could develop into an interesting offensive prospect in the future. Safe pick in a very unsafe time for Memphis.
Alternate Pick: Kyle Anderson
23- Utah Jazz: Kyle Anderson. SF, UCLA. 20 years old.
Kyle Anderson is another of these guys who may or may not be polarizing to scouts in this draft. Some guys see him as the next great point forward in the NBA, some see him as a potential bust (even in the late first round, which I think is technically impossible). He was a point guard at UCLA, but if he's athletically limited against NBA 3s, imagine how badly he'd be outclassed by the likes of Eric Bledsoe and Russell Westbrook. All things being said, he's a clever player, and clever players will always find ways to contribute in this league. Word to Shane Battier.
Alternate Pick: Clint Capela
24- Charlotte Hornets: Mitch McGary. C, Michigan. 21 years old.
McGary is highly skilled, and will look to blaze every team who passes on hi- wait, we did this one already. He might be good. He might not. He's had enough injury and, ahem, "off-court" issues to validate a late first round selection. Potentially, he could help replace the weirdness of Josh McRoberts for the Hornets.
Alternate Pick: Jordan Adams
25- Houston Rockets: Kristaps Porzingis. C, Sevilla. 18 years old.
No one's really sure what to make of Porzingis or if he'll ever come to the NBA, but he's already a very good athlete with a good looking shot and a staggering 6.6 blocks per 40 minutes. Rim protection and floor-stretching are the way of the future in the NBA big man. Just ask Serge Ibaka.
Alternate Pick: Clint Capela
26- Miami Heat: Cleanthony Early. F, Wichita State. 23 years old.
The Heat are going to need as many surplus wings as they can with Shane Battier almost certainly retiring, Michael Beasley being awful and James Jones apparently having died at some point in 2012. Early is a fierce competitor, a good athlete and a burgeoning shooter. He should be able to grab a few spot minutes right away.
Alternate Pick: PJ Hairston
27- Phoenix Suns: Clint Capela. PF, Chalon. 20 years old.
Capela has, like most draft-and-stash project bigs, seen his draft stock vary wildly. Earlier this season, he was a potential lottery pick, even slipping into the top 10. Now, he's a late-first rounder. None of that should change who he is, which is a great athlete and potential game-changing shot blocker. The Ibaka type most teams would do well to look for. Phoenix has a veritable army of first-rounders, so why not swing for the fences here?
Alternate Pick: Glenn Robinson
28- Los Angeles Clippers: Glenn Robinson III. SF, Michigan. 20 years old.
While most mocks would have the Clippers taking whatever big man is highest on the remaining board, and for good reason, I have them getting more athletic on the wings, a deficiency that was sorely abused by the Thunder in the playoffs. At this point in this draft, you'd be lucky to find a real contributing big man. So the Clippers snag another potential lob target for Chris Paul a few years from now.
Alternate Pick: Patric Young
29- Oklahoma City Thunder: P.J. Hairston. SG, Texas Legends. 21 years old.
If there's any team who should understand the value of a good 3 and D guy, it's these Thunder after the things Danny Green has done to them this postseason. Hairston had some…issues at North Carolina, but buy all accounts his stint with the D-League's Texas Legends helped get his head on straight, so to speak. He's an NBA player, so there's not much else to say. Assuredly worth a pick at this stage. Probably earlier.
Alternate Pick: Shabazz Napier
30- San Antonio Spurs: Damien Inglis. SF, Roanne. 19 years old.
We all know how much the Spurs love their draft-and-stash Euros you've never heard of. Here's why you should remember him: he's 19 years old, a great athlete, and has a 7-3 wingspan at 6-8. That's stupendous, and if he ever comes over, he could be the Kawhi Leonard to Kawhi's Leonard's Tim Duncan in the future.
Alternate Pick: Bogdan Bogdanovic
Second Round
31- Milwaukee Bucks: Shabazz Napier. PG, UCONN. 22 years old.
The NCAA Tournament shouldn't be as big a factor in draft stock as it is. That being said, Napier is a benificiary of it. The Bucks need guards.
32- Philadelphia 76ers: Jordan Adams. SG, UCLA. 19 years old.
Smooth scorer, limited athlete. One of those "rotation players" I was talking about before.
33- Cleveland Cavaliers: CJ Wilcox. SG, Washington. 23 years old.
Will probably go earlier than this, but I'm not sure if his skillset will be unique, even on the Cavs, even among Cavs named C.J.
34- Dallas Mavericks: Patric Young. C, Florida. 22 years old.
Patric Young is a very strong and will play good defense, thereby being the one thing Brandan Wright isn't and the one thing Samuel Dalembert can't do. Problem…alleviated.
35- Utah Jazz: Vasilije Micic. PG, Mega Vizura. 21 years old.
The Jazz probably shouldn't be playing some of the point guards they've employed the last few years. Hopefully by the time Micic comes to the NBA, they'll realize that, too.
36- Milwaukee Bucks: Deonte Burton. PG, Nevada. 22 years old.
Deonte Burton is a point guard. The Bucks need point guards. They also need shooting guards, small forwards, power forwards, and centers.
37- Toronto Raptors: Bogdan Bogdanvoic. SG, Partizan. 21 years old.
The owner of one of the great names since Magnus Ver Magnusson, Bogdan Squared is something of an unknown prospect, even at this advanced stage. He might be great whenever he comes over. He might not. For a second rounder, what else would you want?
38- Detroit Pistons: Jarnell Stokes. PF, Tennessee. 20 years old.
Stokes is a large human who plays hard on the glass. He's probably better than Jason Maxiell, who famously played a lot of minutes for this team once upon a time.
39- Philadelphia 76ers: Isaiah Austin. C, Baylor. 20 years old.
He could go a lot earlier, he could go undrafted, but his potential, frame, and athletic profile will lead someone to take a shot on him. Why not the team with seven picks?
40- Minnesota Timberwolves: Nick Johnson. SG, Arizona. 21 years old.
Very small, very limited, very good athlete. That last one is what the Wolves are interested in.
41- Denver Nuggets: Spencer Dinwiddie. G, Colorado. 21 years old.
Dinwiddie would almost certainly go higher had he not torn his ACL last season. As it stands, he maintains that he's a point guard. The Nuggets certainly wouldn't mind playing him as one.
42- Houston Rockets: DeAndre Daniels. SF, UCONN. 22 years old.
Another guy who might sneak into the late-first fringe, Daniels is a big kid with a lot of potential. He'd be in RGV faster than you can say his name. He'd probably help a lot.
43- Atlanta Hawks: Jordan Clarkson. G, Missouri. 21 years old.
An interesting combo-sort with some good skills and size. Should probably go earlier than this.
44- Minnesota Timberwolves: Artem Klimenko. C, Saratov. 20 years old.
Large, relatively mysterious human who might never come over. Potentially useful trade chip.
45- Charlotte Hornets: Walter Tavares. C, Gran Canaro. 20 years old.
I feel silly for having Tavares this low when he has a 7-9 wingspan. Someone will take a flyer on him. I mean, look at Rudy Gobert.
46- Washington Wizards: Nikola Jokic. C, Mega Vizura. 19 years old.
Another Nikola. Probably should have sent him to Minnesota so he could become a part of the Pekovic collective.
47- Philadelphia 76ers: Thanasis Antetokounmpo. SF, Delaware 87ers. 21 years old.
THANASIIIIISSSSSS will probably not be a great NBA player, but he's going to play his ass off and will endear himself to whatever fanbase he ends up with.
48- Milwaukee Bucks: Moussa Diagne. C, Fuenlabrada. 20 years old.
An intriguing athlete who hasn't been playing the sport all that long, Diagne's rebounding numbers are more than enough to justify his selection.
49- Chicago Bulls: Semaj Christon. PG, Xavier. 21 years old.
Honestly, I don't think he'll be drafted, and I don't think the Bulls will take a point, because they're obviously signing Kirk Hinrich to the full Mid-Level Exception, but this wouldn't be the worst thing (that Hinrich thing would be the worst thing).
50- Phoenix Suns: Jabari Brown. SG, Missouri. 21 years old.
Good athlete. Depth pick.
51- Dallas Mavericks: Dwight Powell. PF, Stanford. 22 years old.
One of the older prospects in the draft but not without intrigue. Long and lean, with some floor-stretching ability.
52- Philadelphia 76ers. Devyn Marble. SG, Iowa. 21 years old.
High-level college scorer with a low-level professional ceiling. Would probably light the D-League on fire, though, and Philly would be wise to put some real talent down there to get things going. Hard to farm with no crops, or something. That's the first farming metaphor I've ever made, and I was born and raised in Indiana.
53- Minnesota Timberwolves: Cory Jefferson. PF, Baylor. 23 years old.
Could very easily go much, much, earlier. Has a nice set of skills but a very low ceiling. Will probably stick on whatever roster he ends up on.
54- Philadelphia 76ers: Russ Smith. PG, Louisville. 21 years old.
Very much the sort of guy who plays just well enough to hold your interest long enough to ignore how bad he is the rest of the time. Also very much the sort of guy who goes to the D-League and stays there. There's nothing wrong with that, though, and he'd be great fun there.
55- Miami Heat: Jahii Carson. PG, Arizona State. 21 years old.
I'm starting to think Jahii won't be drafted, because he is bad AND tiny, not the most advantageous combination.
56- Denver Nuggets: LaQuinton Ross. SF, Ohio State. 21 years old.
Probably a better talent than this spot, just too spotty. See spot run. See spot dunk. See spot fail to shoot consistently at the NBA level.
57- Indiana Pacers: Joe Harris. SF, Virginia. 22 years old.
This is the most Pacers pick I can imagine because it basically ensures Rasual Butler's continued employment. They'd probably play Harris over Chris Copeland too, though.
58- San Antonio Spurs: Ioannis Papapetrou. SF, Olympiakos. 20 years old.
Awesomely-named guy who we might never see. Oh, Spurs.
59- Toronto Raptors: Johnny O'Bryant. C, LSU. 22 years old.
I'm fairly confident he'll go earlier than this, but he would help bring some size to a fairly thin frontcourt, both in depth and physical stature. Amir Johnson's a bad dude but he gets hammered sometimes, and Jonas isn't good enough to help him yet.
60- San Antonio Spurs: Rasmus Larsen. PF, Manresa. 19 years old.
Rasmus Larsen is a mystery to me. I desire more Rasmus Larsen in my life.
Potential Undrafted Contributors: Khem Birch, PF. Markel Brown, G. C.J. Fair, F. Keith Appling, PG. DeAndre Kane, SG. Jordan McRae, SG. Melvin Ejim, SF. Josh Huestis, SF. Aaron Craft, G. Lamar Patterson, SF. Juvonte Reddic, PF. Jordan Bachynski, C. Alec Brown, C.

Score 0
Thread DetailsLast Edited by Beartrkkr March 8, 2013 at 07:56 PM
The Baltoros are consistently rated as one of the most comfortable backpacks available anywhere. The biggest knock is that they are slightly heavier than many packs.

- Suspension features soft, pre-curved harness and hipbelt with EVA foam padding to help eliminate hot spots on your hips and shoulders
- Independently rotating hip belt automatically adjusts to your hip angle and moves with your body
- Thermomolded EVA back panel features a grippy lumbar pad that helps keep the pack positioned properly and effectively transfers load weight to your hips
- Single aluminum stay helps prevent barreling and provides optimum load transfer
- Baltoro 75 offers 3 ways to get at your gear with top-loading, front-zip and bottom-zippered access to the main compartment
- Hydration-compatible design features a reservoir sleeve and dual drink-tube exit ports for on-the-go hydration (reservoir not included)
- Zippered front pocket, twin side pockets, dual hipbelt pockets and hideaway water bottle pocket with bungee let you reach often-used gear
- Removable top lid pocket keeps your compass, maps, small essentials or rainwear close at hand; stash pocket on the underside of the lid secures personal items
- Gregory Baltoro 75 pack is made with 210-denier double diamond ripstop and 210- and 420-denier flat weave fabrics that offer strength, durability and lightness

If you like sunshine, try to get outside Friday.
That might be your best chance of seeing the sun during this Presidents Day weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
After the morning fog and clouds burn off, a mostly sunny afternoon is forecast with a high of 52, slightly warmer than usual for this time of year.
Over the weekend, look for cooler, damper conditions — but not necessarily a washout:
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Infections are the culprit in Alzheimer's disease, Harvard study suggests
- 1,000 fraternity, sorority members trash Lake Shasta campsite
Most Read Stories
The forecast calls for morning showers on Saturday, a chance of morning showers followed by sun on Sunday, and rain likely on Presidents Day, with highs in the mid 40s each day.
Although the Puget Sound area's weather may seem dreary at times, it's positively benign compared to what much of the country has been dealing with, such as the three feet of snow that hit much of the Northeast in the past week.
So far, Seattle has had a good winter for snow haters. The 0.6 of an inch that fell Dec. 18 was the only measurable snow this season at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
In the same period last year, the airport had 9.6 inches of snow.
With each snow-free day, the chances diminish that Seattle commuters will have to deal with a paralyzing snowstorm this winter.
"There's a decreasing chance of snow, but you can't rule it out," said Ni Cushmeer, of the National Weather Service, noting that the city has had snow in March — and even into April.
The latest into a year that measurable snow fell at the airport was April 17, 1972, when 1.2 inches was recorded.
Even though the Seattle area hasn't been battling snow, it has been having a wetter than usual "rain year," which starts Oct. 1.
Since that date, Sea-Tac has had 26.47 inches of rain, compared to a normal 22.68 inches for that period, and 19.05 in the same time period last year.
The area where snow has been falling is where many people might say it belongs: In the mountains.
Meagan McFadden of the state Department of Transportation said the 251 inches of snow that has fallen at Snoqualmie Pass so far this season is slightly more than usual.
Snoqualmie Pass, at about 3,000 feet, is expected to get rain on Saturday, then snow on Sunday and Monday. Higher mountain areas are forecast to get snow each day.

It is a bit battered and looks like it needs a paint job, the seller says there is just one dent in the head tube from the handlebars hitting it, so I would probably just put a small Kashimax TT protecter to hide it. (Is it possible to remove dents in the tubes?)
Anyway, a friend of mine loves cars and has a complete painting setup in his garage and offered to paint it if I bought it. I found a nice looking Nagasawa decal kit on ebay too!!
What is the best way to prep the frame for painting?

Perfect competition
In the perfect market condition no individual firm or seller is able to influence the prices of a commodity. The price is determined by the forces of demand and supply of the industry as a whole and the individual firms has to accept the prices set by the industry and try to adjust its output to the ruling market prices so that the average revenue is equal to the marginal revenue. In the perfect competitive market a firm's marginal revenue is equal to the prices. Since the prices do not change irrespective of the output solved by the firm. When the prices of a commodity are equal to the marginal revenue the demand curve and the marginal revenue are the same. From the characteristics' of the firm in a perfect competitive market we see that the demand curves will be perfectly elastic.
Characteristics of a Perfect Competition:
- There is free entry and exit for different firms operating in this market. The only hindrances to entry are firm's related constraints like costs and lack of raw materials.
- The goods sold in this market are homogenous. Homogenous means that the products are almost identical and the consumer does not prefer one product to the other.
- The perfect competition market has also a very large number of buyers and sellers. This way there is no individual firm in the market that can influence the prices of goods and services.
- The individual firms are price takers and have to accept the prices set by the laws of demand and supply.
- In a perfectly competition market there is no information asymmetry and Perfect information is available to the buyers and sellers.
The advantages of Perfect Competition market are:
- The high degree of competition in this market helps resources to be allocated to the most efficient user.
- No firm in the market can make abnormal profit in the long run.
- Degree of competition and restriction in price settings will make the firms in this market to operate at maximum efficiency.
- A perfectly competitive market will benefit the consumers in term of pricing, quality and after sales services.
It should be noted that in price determination under perfect competition the industry is the price setter and the firm is the price taker. The firms will therefore have no power to set prices. Any firm operating in the perfect market environment will try to maximize its profit by adjusting its output. A firm in a perfectly competitive market will be said to be at equilibrium when it has no trend to increase or decrease the levels of output at thus point the firm is earning maximum possible profits. In the short run the firms operating in this market will be at equilibrium when, it has normal profits, when it is incurring losses and when the firm is earning abnormal profits. This condition will not last long due to the free entry and exit of firms in the market that ensure that the long run equilibrium output is such that survivors earn abnormal profits.
