Android DAP
I am looking for a device that I do not believe exists, but I hope I am wrong.
This little android phone below called "nanex" is pretty close to what I want. It runs android 4.0 and could wirelessly sync over wifi to google play music. I can't help thinking it could be much smaller without camera, dual sim cards and replaceable battery. It appears to use the same screen as the ipod nano and it could be closer in size to the nano if it weren't a phone.
My wishlist:
A DAP that looks like an ipod nano only running android 4.0+ and google play music app with wifi and the ability to sync with my google music library online. It should also have a micro sd card slot and a quality DAC chip. This may sound like an impossible wishlist, but this little phone sells for $80 and has all of these features (except the form factor and probably the quality DAC).
If anyone knows of a device close to this or sees a review of the nanex android phone I would appreciate a post.

Welcome to ABi
I suspect the type device you want isn't generally available because it wouldn't be useful for most people. It would take a good size expected customer base to make it profitable for a manufacturer that's capable of doing it right to bring it to market.
Looking at the specs it seems this is the equivalent of a Coby DAP. It can only squeeze a max expected runtime of of 2-4 hours out of a 900 mAh battery. The 128 MB of internal storage and 256 MB RAM makes it seem it probably wouldn't be interesting even as a child's toy. At $115 plus shipping on Amazon it's not cheap either.
I might be interested in a small android device like this but it would have to have much better specs and price. The Nanex seems like it would be throwing away money just for the sake of having a smaller device.

I don't think you could make an android device much smaller than that. Your fingers would be too big to touch the icons. You could tweak things like the launcher to work with an abnormally small screen, but google doesn't support it, so you'd be stuck with unusably small icons for 3rd party apps and Google music.
Interested in Google's Summer of Code ? PM me.
It could work
I think it has merit as a device for several reasons:
1) Avoids iTunes and any music management software on the pc - so no software to update, no massive database to backup or move around to a new pc - google takes care of those, and isn't this why we want to put things in the cloud in the first place?
2) Small simple device should be able to run for a longer time than phone - much smaller screen area, no cellular, wifi could be turned off to save power
3) I agree the specs esp RAM may not be quite right, but if the nano can get by with this size screen I think it could work just fine. It would probably need a custom app to work with the small screen and limited resources though, and it would have the micro SD for the actual music.
Well, as stated, there's nothing available that would fit the bill. The phone linked is a nice device, looks wise, to model this dream dap after. But there's nothing out, or coming out, that will be running Android & spec'd and sized the way you'd like it to be.

I haven't said the idea isn't valid or that you shouldn't get one. I said that the device you posted isn't practical enough for me to consider purchasing one. If someone asked me if they should, I'd do what I did before I answered your first post. I'd research it and give my opinion of whether I thought it was a useful item for the purpose intended. In this case my opinion from the posted specs is that it it isn't so I've said that.
I didn't post what I thought the battery life might be. That came from the Amazon page where it's being sold. It's been my experience with multiple battery powered devices that manufacturers give a best case battery life. To my way of thinking that mean the 2-4 hour battery life listed will quite possibly be less in real life use.
Some people use the cloud, some don't. I use the cloud as a backup, not my primary source. I have a well organized music collection that fits on less than $100 of portable hard drive space. I back that up along with the rest of my digital data several times a year to a different location than where I live. That way if something happens to my files I'll only lose what's new.
I've carefully considered other options and decided that's best for me. That way my files aren't somewhere they can be made inaccessible by remote hardware failure or a court decision.
None of the devices I own require any more software than what Windows or a *nix OS provides. I use software to make managing my files easier but simple drag and drop also works quite well for me. I eliminated any software that needs a database to work properly quite a while back. They've failed me too often for me to be comfortable with them, YMMV.
I won't say what will or won't happen in the future. I've been wrong too many times to be confident doing that. I will say that I don't think there's enough demand at this time for any maker that's got the money and knowledge to do it right to be willing to invest the time and money to bring the device you want to market. Maybe if a few million people got interested...

Google Play Music requires decent specs to work properly.
I'd imagine it wouldn't work on a device that had a pre Jelly Bean version of Android or less than 1gb of RAM, or it would be very laggy and pointless.
Plus, the icons would be way too small and unusable.
Google Play Music on devices that aren't running Jelly Bean or better works but not very well. I lost interest in testing every feature once I determined gapless playback was broken.
I thought it might be a hardware issue so I tried a few versions of android on my rooted SGP 4.0. As soon as I hit JB everything started working smoothly. Gapless playback worked properly and the infrequent dropouts I got when streaming from google went away.
That interested me enough to try it on a few other smartphones. Those that were on ICS or lower didn't work very well with Google Play music. All of those that were on JB or better did.

I just wish apple would release a nano with WiFi and a decent podcast app. Don't care about all the crap on the touch but I do listen to a crap ton of podcasts
Reminds me of this thread I posted, u might want to read up on it as it may raise questions u haven't thought of etc.

Don't take my skepticism over this device as not liking the concept. I like the idea of a device that has the capabilities of a decent smartphone but doesn't have it's bulk. Sounds odd to describe something that's only ~4 oz. as bulky but if you come from using Clip, Cowon i9 or Sony E series DAPs it seems huge.
I'd guess that the big boys like Google, Apple and Microsoft are researching something along these lines now. They've gotten about as large as you can get and it still be practical for most people. The next step would be to find a way to miniaturize the concept without losing significant functionality.
I don't think it would be easy to convince enough people to make it profitable to go back to carrying more than one device. That would mean whatever they develop would need enough oomph to run the apps they use now and enough battery life to do it all day.
Finding enough juice to power wifi, GPS and a cell radio won't be easy. I'd think that if you tried to leave off any of those capabilities the market would shrink to the point where it wasn't practical anymore. Convincing people to give that up to have a small android music player would be beyond difficult.
They've become accustomed to the "bulk" of smartphones that are now at decently low prices. Trying to get them to pay for the R&D and manufacturing setup because it's smaller would take a significant change in what they consider acceptable.

I think my next investment will be a smart watch for poweramp remote then I can just keep my phone in pocket. Icy as hell lately don't want to send my phone flying while walking
I hear what you're saying. It's one of the reasons why I still carry a stand alone DAP with tactile buttons. If I'm going to expose something to the elements I prefer it to be a refurb Clip instead of my phone.

I stopped at the whole idea of Poweramp on a smartwatch when I got a reply from the developer regarding the volume increments, which I think are increments of 10-8% (10-12 pushes or something, there is also a delay when registering the pushes). Being used to Cowons 40 levels of adjustment I know this would bug the tits off me. Its these little things I like to look into thoroughly before taking the plunge.
The Cowon Z2 Android DAP has been getting ok reviews...

I thought it was common knowledge that it was under-powered hardware (in regards to the Android OS, not the volume output) and rather buggy.

I think u maybe referring to the D3 which was all of those things. The Z2 however seems to have fixed a few of the issues the D3 had.
Here's one. I have read a couple others outside of ABI.

DearCustomer- Most visitation orders require that both parents know the whereabouts of their children. Obviously I do not have access to the visitation order in question so I have no idea what provisions are contained therein but that is the first source of reference. So long as the visitation order is being followed there should be no additional duties to report hour by hour activity. An emergency would be an exception of course.
If there are special circumstance such as children with special needs then there may be additional requirements to be followed. Other than the language of the visitation order I know of no other additional requirements that must be followed by non residential parents in Ohio. Sometimes common sense would say that it may be good to provide notice of something unusual even if not required by the order.
The more information that can pass between the parents concerning their children the better it usually is for everyone. Obviously this is not always possible due to individual circumstances. Since I have no further specifics about your case I can only answer in general.

I'm slowly cutting the ties with outlook and pop3 setup, but I am in need of a transit solution.
The main email now comes in directly at zimbra via smtp. There are (and will be for the foreseeable future) still lots of messages coming through the pop3 accounts.
Getting these messages into zimbra is not the problem thanks to the work of the developers.
What causes problems, is that these pop3 messages are not passed through the anti-virus, spam and filtering rules of Zimbra.
I know there are feature/bug vote on the subject (I voted). But till the pop3 messages are filtered/checked, I'll have a hard time getting other users to accept zimbra (and quit bugging me
As an intermediate solution, is there a way (tool) to download those messages from the pop accounts and send them on to the zimbra's smtp-port?
a pop3 to smtp converter, if you will.
I've come across fetchmail posts around here, while looking for a pop3 download. Can fetchmail a solution for me?
best regards

Tallahassee, Florida - March 31, 2011 --
Florida State University's College of Business has selected three accomplished alumni to be inducted into its Hall of Fame. Mark Hillis, Floyd D. "Bud" Jordan Jr. and Kenneth M. Willis were inducted into a prestigious group of 23 business leaders on Thursday, March 31, at the college's Ninth Annual Hall of Fame Dinner and Ceremony.
Begun in 2003, the FSU College of Business Hall of Fame honors and celebrates individuals who embody the qualities that make the College of Business at Florida State an extraordinary place to learn and grow. Hall of Fame inductees have excelled in their careers and have made significant contributions to the mission of the college.
Mark Hillis
Mark Hillis, a 1964 alumnus with a B.S. in finance from Florida State and a juris doctorate from the Woodrow Wilson College of Law, has helped shape the College of Business and Florida State University throughout the years by serving and giving back to his alma mater. Hillis' career includes 33 years at SunTrust Bank in Atlanta, where he retired in 2002 as the first vice president of real-estate finance. He also retired from the U.S. Marine Corps at the rank of major, having served from 1966 to 1986. Since retirement, he has immersed his business talents into advocating for the university, its colleges, programs and various units.
Hillis' contribution at Florida State University has spanned the College of Business, the Alumni Association, the FSU Foundation, the university's Board of Trustees and Seminole Boosters. He has been an active member of the College of Business' Board of Governors since 1989, serving as chair from 1996 to 1998. He has also served on the College of Business' Real Estate Executive Advisory Board since 2003.
A lifetime member of the FSU Alumni Association, Hillis was a member and treasurer of that organization's board of directors from 1993 to 2002, a member of its Development Committee from 2004 to 2008, and a member of its Centennial Steering Committee in 2009. He also is a member of the Orlando Seminole Club and a former board member of the Atlanta Seminole Club.
Hillis' service with the FSU Foundation began in 1992, when he served as chairman of the Georgia FSU Capital Campaign Committee. From 1995 to 2008, Hillis was a member of the FSU Foundation's board of trustees, serving as secretary and chairman of the Real Estate, Finance, Development and Capital Campaign Executive Committees. In 2010, he became a member of the FSU Board of Trustees and currently serves as chairman of its Finance, Business and Audit Committee. In addition, he is a member of FSU's Francis Eppes Society, James D. Westcott Society and Custodes Lampadis Society, and is a Seminole Booster.
Hillis' philanthropy began in 1988 when he and his wife, Nan Casper Hillis (B.S. '76), established the Nancy Casper Hillis and Mark Hillis Endowed Fund for Finance in the College of Business. In 2000, the Hillises established the Mark and Nancy Casper Hillis Dining Room at the FSU Alumni Center, as well as the Mark Hillis and Nancy Casper Hillis Endowed Fund for Real Estate in the College of Business in 2004. Their most recent gift was the Mark and Nancy Casper Hillis Endowed Scholarship for Football, which was established in 2010.
As a generous contributor and active alumnus, Mark Hillis received the Florida State University Alumni Association Circle of Gold Award, which honors his unwavering Seminole spirit.
Floyd "Bud" Jordan Jr.
Floyd "Bud" Jordan Jr., a 1957 alumnus with a B.S. in accounting, is an executive financial adviser for Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management. Jordan has a reputation for vision and a command of the investment markets that has earned him the respect of clients, colleagues and competitors.
After graduating from FSU, Jordan began his career as an auditor for the U.S. Army Audit Agency. His career flourished as he worked in positions for the Eason Company, American Chemco and F.I. DuPont, eventually becoming senior vice president of E.F. Hutton. It was in this capacity that Jordan was identified as one of Wall Street's top brokers by Securities Week, and his Stuart, Fla., office was identified as one of the top-producing offices.
Jordan also served as senior vice president of investments for a number of investment firms, including Prudential Securities, Shearson and, most recently, Legg Mason. He was senior vice president of Wealth Management for Smith Barney Inc. before he and his financial team, The Jordan-McGovern Group, were recruited by Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management in 2009. At the time, The Jordan-McGovern Group managed $500 million in client assets.
Jordan has been a licensed financial adviser for more than 41 years and has numerous professional affiliations. During his career, he was selected for 11 consecutive years as one of the top 30 brokers of E.F. Hutton Group Inc. In 2008, Jordan was named by Barron's as one of the top 1 percent of financial advisers in the industry.
Jordan's passion for Florida State began in his college days when he was a clown and juggler in the FSU Circus. Today, he serves on the Investment Committee of the FSU Foundation and supports both the circus and athletics. Jordan established the Floyd D. "Bud" Jordan Endowment Fund in the College of Business and, most recently, contributed to FSU's Fort Pierce Regional Medical Campus.
Kenneth M. Willis
Kenneth M. Willis, a 1976 alumnus with a B.S. in marketing, is president and CEO of Anewda Consulting, a leading consultancy helping small businesses, and a veteran of 30 years with Quaker/PepsiCo.
Willis has driven revenue and profit turnarounds in most of the organizations he has led by rethinking existing business models, building top-tier teams and executing the fundamentals. He possesses proven sales and general management skills in addition to a broad business perspective gained through numerous cross-functional assignments in marketing, finance and strategic planning.
Willis' notable accomplishments with Quaker/PepsiCo include redesigning and rolling out a $9 billion PepsiCo Division that grew top-line revenue $700 million in one year; overcoming customer declines and bankruptcies to drive a $300-million, two-year growth of the $1.8-billion South Region; and launching Quaker's first Customer Business Center, a then-unique "profit & loss" approach to growing customer revenues and profits. In his position as president and CEO of Test Tools, he was responsible for the successful purchase and relaunch of an education software company, which eventually posted a 250-percent growth in customer/consumer penetrations. Finally, Willis founded Anewda Consulting LLC, a company helping small businesses accelerate growth through aggressive planning and breakthrough execution.
In addition to his professional success, Willis has always given back to the community, especially with respect to his alma mater. He is a member of the FSU College of Business' Board of Governors, where he has served as chairman. He also returns to campus often to speak with students, most recently serving as the Charles A. Bruning Distinguished Speaker. Willis is a member of the board of directors of Seminole Boosters and is currently the chairman-elect of the board's executive committee. He also is a member of the President's Society and a Platinum Golden Chief donor to Seminole Boosters.
In addition to his bachelor's degree in marketing, Willis earned his MBA from Northwestern University in 1998. He has also completed several self-development programs, including Harvard University's Executive Leadership Seminar, the University of Virginia Darden Business School's Executive Leadership Seminar and the University of Southern California Management Program.

May 27, 2016
John Smoltz has reached a preliminary agreement on a contract with the Boston Red Sox, a stunning end to his long career with the Atlanta Braves.
A person familiar with the negotiations, speaking on condition of anonymity because the final paperwork had not been completed, said Smoltz will sign a $5 million guaranteed deal with the Red Sox that includes the possibility of earning another $5 million in bonuses. The deal was expected to be finalized later Thursday.
Smoltz, the only pitcher in baseball history with 200 wins and 150 saves, had pitched for the Braves since 1988. The 41-year-old is coming off major shoulder surgery that sidelined him for most of last season, but feels healthy enough to pitch at least one more year.

What a great looking product. Easy install once I found all the parts. Some of the brackets were wedged inside one of the running boards back side. Once I had all the parts and decided which was the left and which was for passenger side, which does make a difference, it went together easily and looks great!
Good & Bad
Reviewed by Andrew M (JEFFERSON, SD) Reviewed for a 2010 Chevy Silverado — Mar 11, 2013 9:32 AM
These bars look great and the 6" width makes it easy for the kids and dog to get in and out. However, the installation was a chore. The 2010 Silverados have a nut welded to the frame in the front two locations, but not the back thus requiring extra nuts to keep things level. The hardware provided was difficult to twist together which I am assuming is to keep them from ever coming unbolted, but I ended up snapping off a couple of the bolts before they were close to tight.

Winter Craziness
I've been neglecting the site lately, so I figured I would write a blog for any of you interested in reading it haha. I finally have a week off to do absolutely nothing but spend time with my family. Last week I finished my first semester of nursing school--these past 4 months it has consumed my life--we had a crazy ridiculous teacher in one of our courses, but thankfully I managed to pass the class with 15 points to spare. As for my other nursing class-what a joke I passed with over half the points to spare. Working at the doctor's office has also consumed my life, but thankful my office manager has been just as crazy so I took advantage of making the holiday schedule and scheduled myself some much needed time off.
No books, no dealing with patients at the office! Now the only thing missing is a Papa Roach show! Haha it's only been since October, but I need my fix! lol Saw Hinder with My Darkest Days&Default last month--pretty awesome show, but not good enough to hold me over for the next P.Roach show. Buckcherry show coming up in February and it's been awhile since I've seen them so that should be good. Saw the a capella group Straight No Chaser with my family last week. If you dont know them, but like a capella stuff YouTube them--pretty amazing considering they just use their voices to create the music. Otherwise just hanging out with my brother while he is in town&enjoying before classes start back up mid-January.
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it and Happy New Year Roaches!!

AviVera Aloe Vera Bird Spray is a must have for every bird first aid kit. This natural, plant based bird safe spray also cleans your birds feathers.
Avian professionals have found Aloe Vera to be extremely beneficial for feather plucking parrots and feather chewing, or self-mutilation behaviors. Aloe Vera Spray is a natural solution that soothes dry, itchy skin plus minor cuts and scrapes that induce a bird to pick and over-preen.
Use AviVera Aloe Vera Spray daily to clean feathers and moisturize and soothe minor skin irritations. In dry winter skin that most parrots experience, you may wish to use it more. For broken skin or oozing abrasions, please use Medihoney and always consult your avian veterinarian.
Always check with your avian veterinarian for guidance regarding frequency of use before incorporating Aloe Vera into your parrots feather and wound care routine.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- A Coast Guard Station Cortez boatcrew rescued a loggerhead turtle near Longboat Pass Inlet on Sunday.
The boatcrew was on patrol in the area when they were hailed by a passing mariner reporting the turtle's distress.
"We don't get a chance to save wildlife often, but when we do this mission it's very rewarding," said Petty Officer 3rd Class Preston Humbard, crewmember during the rescue.
The rescued turtle was taken back to Station Cortez where it was transferred to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers.

Army Commit List for 2010
scroll back through the past 5 years. they have 2 classes of over 50 commits. how does that work?
I do not know the answer, but could it be due to deployments? Like they lost people because they shipped out?
John Walters is my hero
YOu dont committ for football I guess
Plus everyone there is on scholarship
This list must include walkons.
I am sure they also get special waviers since they are the military.
If you have a problem - if no one else can help - and if you can find
them - maybe you can hire: The A-Team.
we do not give athletic scholarships and therefore have no limits on size of recruiting classes -- basically, we're 100% recruited walk-ons
no one ships out from West Point before graduation
also, some of those guys go to USMA Prep ("Army Prep", "USMAPS") for a year before enrolling at West Point

Film: 'Eat the Document'; Dylan's '66 European Tour at the Whitney
By VINCENT CANBY ();

, Section , Page 31, Column , words
Bob Dylan's career has taken so many twists and turns that "Eat The Document," a 54-minute film composed from footage made during Dylan's 1966 European tour, looks like a rock document left behind from some Pleistocene age of Pop.

Future Exhibits
at the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum
Architectural Clues to 18th-Century Williamsburg
Explore architectural elements from both surviving and demolished 18th- and early-19th-century buildings in the Historic Area. The pieces are part of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation's architectural collection and provide an interesting and valuable research tool in studying the history of the built environment before, during, and after the Restoration of the Historic Area. Most recently, the collection helped with the reconstruction of Charlton's Coffeehouse and the Public Armoury, as well as informing paint color changes throughout the Historic Area.
Opens May 28, 2016
Printed Fashions: Textiles for Clothing and Home
Colonial Williamsburg has not previously showcased its superlative collection of printed textiles that range in date from the late 17th century into the 19th century. With their stunning designs and bright colors, the objects in this exhibit will be a feast for the eyes. Printed fabrics were used to make fashionable clothing and to upholster home furnishings. While visually arresting, printed textiles also had economic importance as trade goods and as examples of technological advances. A variety of techniques were used to create innumerable patterns. Fabrics were resist printed, block printed, copperplate printed and roller printed. Each of these required different manufacturing skills and resulted in a wide range of designs and patterns available to the 18th-century consumer. On view will be over 75 objects including gowns, quilts, men's waistcoats, curtains and bed furnishings. The printed designs range from floral bouquets to patriotic heroes like George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.
Opening March 25, 2017 in the Gilliland Gallery

Downtown Memphis Commission Launches South Main Design Challenge
The Downtown Memphis Commission has launched the South Main Design Challenge, a new initiative to generate creative ideas and showcase new concept plans for seven key sites in the South Main Neighborhood.
The Challenge is part of the DMC's year-long focus on the South Main district. The purpose is to develop innovative and original ideas for how to reuse vacant and underutilized spaces and buildings within the district.
The South Main Design Challenge will apply the talent of local architects, urban designers, property and business owners, artists, students, and Downtown stakeholders in visioning the highest and best future use of the following development sites:
- Huling Parking Lot
- Talbot Lot
- Lyric Panel Lot
- Ambassador Hotel Site
- Army / Navy Park
- Russell Hardware Site
- Buffalo Mural Lot
The DMC is accepting applications for teams interested in participating in the Design Challenge. Each team will be assigned to a specific site and asked to develop both a short-term concept and long-term vision for their site.
The short-term concept plan will imagine how to strategically transform the site into a community asset on a budget of less than $5,000. Potential site reuse ideas could include concepts such as a dog park, public art or sculpture park, passive or active recreation, and places for community gathering.
The long-term vision plan should provide a concept for what high-quality future development could look like on the site. Design concepts should be respectful of the historic character of the area while striving to be vibrant, memorable places that are a product of their own time.
The winning team will receive an award plaque, special recognition on the project website, and a $1,000 prize. The deadline to register a team is Jan. 14. Click here for more information.

Casio Dive Watches: Stylish, Affordable, Dependable
Buy Casio dive watches
More dive watches
|A classic divers watch is a special kind of sports watch (usually analog), designed for scuba diving or even deep sea diving. It must be robust enough to wisthand the harsh corrosive environment of sea water and withstand water preasure to at least 10 atm (100m/330ft in water).
A certified divers watches must pass the international ISO 6425 test, to earn the right to print the word "DIVER'S" on the watch case. The standard requires several stringint tests that ensure the watch is up to the task of, regular activity below the surface.
Our dive watch articles explore the features of the most popular diving watches on the market.
Anyone who thought diving watches had to cost a lot of money have not considered a Casio dive watch. Not only is a Casio watch increadibly cheap with most of the watchmaker's diving timepieces going for around $50-150, they are robust, functional and also look every bit as attractive as an expensive diving watch.
Casio's stainless steel watch case bears a polished look that is very sharp. In fact users have reported receiving comments from people who assumed they were wearing a much more expensive watch.
For their price, Casio diving watches stand up as a formidable option that rivals diving watches $100-200 more expensive.
But Casio's diving watches, like the Sea Illuminator dive watch, do have a small shortcoming. Some users have reported that, the wrist strap is one part of this watch that does in fact reflect the price. Casio watch bands are reported to be hard, rubbery and uncomfortable. The band has a short lifespan too. Expect to replace the wrist strap soon. In fact, if you are considering this watch you might do yourself a favour and replace the wrist strap right off the bat. On the other hand other users have reported no such problems, but for this minor inconvenicene, we think the benefits of a Casio dive watch, still outweight this minor issue.
Some users have resolved the band issue by replacing their Casio bands with a velcro Timex Expedition Adjustable 16-20mm watch band. While the band is for Timex Expedition watches and thust features the word "Timex" on it, it may prove a more comfortable and resiliant fit, that is more easily adjustable than the standard Casio band.
Should you decide to change the straps, it is a simple matter of popping out the Casio strap. Pull out the springs, then attach the Timex stap using the Timex springs. This simple procedure takes about three minutes and can be done at home without visiting a watch store.
Another viable replacement option are Seiko Rubber 22mm Diving Watch bands. These, as well as the Timex Expedition wrist bands can be purchased on Amazon when you purchase the watch.

The Casio Dive Watch Range
There are several Casio divers watches to choose from including analog, digital and hybrid analog/digital designs. The hybrids present digital statistics together with luminous hands and markings.
A diving watch is a special kind of sports watch that must pass ISO 6425 in order to print the word "DIVER'S" on the case.
Here is a quick summary of Casio's most prolific diving watches.

Tide Watch
Casio diver watches look and feel much like other, more expensive luxury diving watches and come packed with a similar array of features. The bezel is packed with information and a curved glass front gives the wearer the appearance of a flat sunken face when beneath the water.
The watch illumination system features two-tone luminous paint – green for hands, blue for hour markers – allowing the wearer to view his vital statistics when environmental light is dim. While the luminous paint of this watch has a limited lifespan compared with higher priced diving watches like the Luminox Navy Seal Dive Watch, the battery powered LED casts a striking "flash-light" like illumination onto the watch face at both 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock, so that when you press the button located at the 2 o'clock position, the entire face of the watch lights up and stays lit for 3 seconds.
Most Casio diving watches are water resistant to between 100-200m (330-660 feet) making them ideal for activities in and around the water such as recreational diving, snorkeling and swimming, however you do need to be careful about activities around hot water such as taking a hot bath, a shower or doing the dishes as warm or hot water can cause problems with the watertight seals on watches.
A Casio dive watch like the Sea Illuminator Watch is remarkably well built. The construction is solid and robust and the watch is as easy to read as it is to look at. The watch features a ratchet that functions increadibly well and a screw-down crown that operates as smoothly as one you would expect on a high-end watch and screw-down caseback – rarely found on cheaper watches. If it were not for the poor quality band, Casio could easily justify selling this watch for $200 and over.
Probably not many people would have guessed that Casio dive watches actually represent exceptional value to those on a budget, though for more serious deep water activities, it is worth shelling out a few hundred more dollars. These watches are no Rolex's or Omega's, but at a mere fraction of the cost a Casio dive watch is an ideal choice for anyone just looking to get started, seeking backup watch, or on a budget.

|Great Plains celebrates 100th anniversary at Omaha event
By Jan Rahn
Managing Editor
As warm weather approaches and summer nears, a series of barbecues will be held across the state as a way for Great Plains Communications to say 'thank you' to the many customers it has served over the years.
Having just celebrated 100 years of service with an event in Omaha, the company will continue to expand on that celebration by involving towns across Nebraska.
Great Plains Communications (GPC) is now in its fourth generation of family ownership and is the largest privately-owned communications provider in Nebraska, serving 30,000 customers in 90 rural communities and covering more than 14,099 square miles.
The 100th anniversary celebration in Omaha gave its 200 employees statewide a great chance to catch up with co-workers and retirees, said Kevin Poppe of Grant, regional manager overseeing outside plant operations in the western three districts.
The Feb. 4-5 event also commemorated the centennial and strategic planning for the company's future.
Besides Poppe and his wife, Monica, others from area who attended the celebration included Toby and Clem Hansen, Kenny and Patsy Wykert, Brandon and Amanda Wood, Ryan and Michaela Potts, and Jason and Brooke Grigg. Jason, from McCook, is the district manager for Grant and Venango.
"We had an excellent meeting," said Poppe. Approximately 500 in attendance heard opening from Governor Heineman and a keynote address by 1979 Oshkosh graduate and athlete Melanie Mills.
Poppe said seeing Mills was a pleasant and unexpected surprise, as his brothers had graduated from Oshkosh and they had fun catching up on life. She attended Southern Methodist University on a basketball scholarship, later returning to Colorado and was honored as Colorado Teacher of the Year. She joined a professional speaking firm and now has her own company.
The highlight of the evening was a comment made by the five-year-old great-grandson of Robert Hunt, who founded GPC in 1910. After showing a video and members of the family giving comments, the child had one of his own. The son of parents who live in London said in a srong British accent, "I'm going to move to America and work for the phone company,"—which brought the house down, said Poppe.
Western communities served by GPC include Chadron, Gordon, Rushville, Hay Springs, Cody-Kilgore, Arnold, Callaway, Stapleton, Tryon, Sutherland, Broken Bow, Grant, Venango, Imperial, Indianola, Trenton, Stratton, Culbertson, Hayes Center, Palisade and McCook.
Poppe, who has worked for GPC 28 years, said his role also includes working with community development.
Communication needs will be driven by the constant demand for more bandwidth, said Poppe. For example the bandwidth delivered to one household via cable modem or DSL would have been more than enough to handle all voice traffic of the entire city before the Internet. "We are nearing completion of our own statewide network that will handle our communities' future bandwidth through new fiber placement and electronics," said Poppe. "We have a skilled and well trained staff that will meet our customers' future needs."
Traditional voice lines still have a role in rural areas, he said. Advantages are the physical security of a wired line and the reliability of having the phone work even during power outage.
"Also, being able to look up your neighbor's number in the phone book has more appeal here than in a large metro area, said Poppe. "If a customer has a friend overseas they may use a video Skype call, but will dial up the neighbor on a land line to see how much rain they got—much like I can do without the Omaha World Herald and can read it online, but can't wait to pick up the Grant Tribune to see what happened locally the past week."
Todd Foje, chief executive officer, said, "Knowledgeable employees committed to serving our customers well have been the most important ingredient in achieving the milestone of 100 years in business. We owe a tremendous thanks to all of our customers in rural Nebraska and to our many business partners who have supported us. It is an honor to work in an organization with such a rich history."

A highly readable new book promises to anatomize the shifts in entertainment technology and in the culture in the cable era that gave rise to the 21st Century's most lionized form of "art television": the 12-episode, novelistically textured premium cable serial.
Brett Martin's "Difficult Men: Behind the Scenes of a Creative Revolution: From 'The Sopranos' and 'The Wire' to 'Mad Men' and 'Breaking Bad'" (Penquin) provides a useful overview of the changes that enabled this alternative to the 30-to-22 episode anthology-of-short-stories format that for decades was the only game in town in Television City.
But while Martin's excellent long accounts of those four great shows can be strongly recommended to anyone who loves them -- or any one or two or three of them -- his book isn't quite the definitive evolutionary chronicle that the TGA (Martin's "Third Golden Age of Television") richly deserves. The timing is right, too, as we are at the beginning of the next generation of TGA TV, as the serial-novel aesthetic is being applied to additional genres such as epic fantasy ("Game of Thrones"), the espionage thriller ("The Americans") and twisty science fiction ("Orphan Black").
By the mid-oughts, Martin writes, "The open-ended, twelve- or thirteen-episode serialized drama was maturing into its own, distinct art form. … What's more, it had become the signature American art form of the first decade of the twenty-first century, the equivalent of what the films of Scorsese, Altman, Coppola, and others had been to the 1970s or the novels of Updike, Roth, and Mailer had been to the 1960s."
I agree. The question is why? Why then, and why now? Martin is excellent on historical antecedents to the TGA such as Grant Tinker's MTM and Steven Bochco's "NYPD Blue" -- though I think he severely underrates the impact of the classic David Simon/Barry Levinson/Tom Fontana series "Homicide: Life on the Street," from which flowed "Oz," "The Corner," "The Wire" and "Treme." On the cause and effect issues he's a bit vague.
The economics of the cable industry, a radically different business model, is of course a large part part of the why. Without advertisers to pander to, and without the dependence on syndication to recoup exploding production budgets, aesthetic considerations could be allowed to rule. Formats closer to the limited series format pioneered in Europe by what were essentially public television outlets (England's BBC, Denmark's DR), which won an elite following in the US on PBS, were a direct appeal to a more demanding and smaller audience than the mainstream networks could afford to cater to.
As it developed, the TGA also began to attract "creatives," from feature screenwriters and directors to novelists, who in the past would never have been caught dead doing television. They were now intrigued, Martin writes, "by how much more of human life could be dissected over the course of thirteen or twenty-six or fifty-two open-ended hours, rather than a mere two-hour stretch freighted with the need for easy answers and tidy resolution."
Because it had likely always been "advertisers, rather than audiences" who were uncomfortable with anti-heroes and ambiguity on television, the richer formats of the new TV seemed naturally to call for richer, darker characters, for less wish-fulfillment in its storylines. Martin's book is at its best in its behind-the-scenes accounts of how "difficult men," from Tony Soprano to Walter White, "a species you might call Man Beset or Man Harried—badgered and bothered and thwarted by the modern world," came to dominant the NGA. His description of "the ascendancy of the all-powerful writer-showrunner(s)" who created those characters, difficult men in their own right, is thorough, sympathetic and convincing. ("Breaking Bad's" Vince Gilligan comes off best.)
"Difficult Men" is not the first book to dissect this phenomenon. That would be Alan Sepinwall's "The Revolution Was Televised: The Cops, Crooks, Slingers, and Slayers Who Changed TV Drama Forever" (2012). It was on Sepinwall's influential blog, What's Alan Watching? that the now ubiquitous-to-the-point-of-being-oppressive practice of re-capping and reviewing every single episode of an important series was invented half a decade ago.
It also needs to be said that there have been other excellent models of how best to review television, in particular the one adopted by the man who is arguably still the best TV reviewer of them all, Britain's loquacious polymath Clive James, who writes about TV not by the program but by the week. He watches as his readers watch, and then reports on what he and they have seen together. His columns in the 19780s were also weekly snapshots of British public culture, contextual with references to top news stories and developments in the other arts.
"Difficult Men" puts the last nail in the coffin of the assumption underpinning James' approach that there is one big audience that sits glued to the box at the same times and for the same programs. Fragmentation, niche programming and various forms of time shifting have put an end to that. A culture-domination phenomenon like "Roots" or "Who Shot JR?" is simply no longer imaginable.
Creatively I think, as Martin does, this is mostly for the best. "As long as there is no true consensus audience for anything," he writes, "or at least as long as the chase for one is relegated to the broadcast networks and the multiplexes, quality storytelling, fresh voices, challenging ideas, all the hallmarks of the Third Golden Age, may be able to remain another brand, a niche, right alongside home improvement, cute puppies, and weather."

Memorial Day Open presented by Bud's Spring Service
Special events and a renewed marketing partnership headline the pre-season news at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway.
The high banked clay oval, located in Newmanstown, Pa., plays host to five divisions of Micro-Sprints on Saturday nights, and the April 13 opener signifies the start of the Lanco club's 56th season of sanctioning races for the mighty Micros.
Those five classes competing on a weekly basis at the Clyde - all winged Micro-Sprints - are the 600cc, 270cc Two-Stroke, 125cc, Sportsman (250cc Air-Cooled Engines), and 270cc Four-Stroke.
Highlights of the 2013 racing schedule include Fan Appreciation Night on April 27; the Memorial Day Open Show on May 25; the second annual Dick Greenawalt Memorial on June 22; a very special National Slingshot Tour event slated for June 29; Micromania and the 270 Clash at the Clyde on July 6; the Clyde Martin Memorial Race on July 27; and the traditional, two-day Labor Day Shootout on Saturday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1st. The point chases will end at the season finale` on September 14.
After its experiment with Fan Appreciation Night last season proved to be an overwhelming success, the club quickly inked the promotion on its 2013 slate of events. On Saturday, April 27, all spectators will be admitted FREE, with many prizes and fan-friendly activities planned for those in attendance.
The 2012 version of Fan Appreciation Night pulled a crowd so large that fans were asked to squeeze together on the spacious bleachers to make room for those arriving a bit late. The enthusiastic, overflow throng roared its approval during each race and when prizes were handed out - which occurred all night long.
The Memorial Day Open Show, an annual affair, will feature 30-lap main events with an increased purse for all five weekly divisions. The 600's, in addition to winged action, will also take part in a full program of non-wing competition. The wingless portion of the night's agenda is the Kerry Gilbert Memorial, run in honor of the former racer and Vice President of the Lanco club.
The Greenawalt Memorial pays tribute to the Clyde's long time track photographer who suddenly and unexpectedly passed away in the summer of 2011.
Perhaps the most highly anticipated race meet on the 2013 Lanco calendar is the June 29 "Slide at the Clyde", when the All Star Slingshots, created by Rich Tobias in the late '90's, visit the Newmanstown speedplant.
The Slingshot drivers, who have longed for the opportunity to battle one another on the Clyde Martin clay, can thank a fifteen-year-old member of their group for putting all the pieces together and convincing the Lanco Board that a big race for this division will be a huge success.
Danny Buccafusca, who will be one of the Slingers in action on June 29, worked with the powers-that-be at Lanco to organize the event that will offer a lucrative purse, along with National Tour points. Sponsors are lining up to support the big race; the marketing partners will be announced in the near future.
A large field of Slingshots - scaled down versions of dirt Modifieds - is expected and many have already filed entries for the Slide at the Clyde.
This year's edition of PA 600 Speedweek will kick off at the Clyde on July 6, as Micromania takes center stage for the 600cc Class. Joining the ground-pounding 600's that night will be the 270cc Clash at the Clyde.
Early entry information for Micromania and the Slide at the Clyde can be found on the club's website: www.lancomicrosprint.com.
Weld Racing and the Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway have partnered once again to present the Weld Racing Fast Lap of the Feature and the manufacturer of all types of racing wheels will provide a bonus to all five Lanco point champions at the end of the 2013 campaign.
On a rotating basis, drivers in all five weekly classes will have the chance to win a Weld Racing gift certificate if they can turn the quickest lap during a feature race. Throttle jockeys in one class per night will be eligible for the Weld Racing Fast Lap of the Feature prize.
More valuable gift certificates will be awarded to each point champion at the club's annual banquet in November.
Race times will remain the same in 2013, with gates opening at 3:30 p.m. Warm-ups begin at 5:00, and the first heat race goes green at 6 p.m.
A pre-season practice session is scheduled for Saturday, April 6, and then season No. 56 gets the green light on the 13th of April.
Special events and the typically terrific weekly action mean only one thing...in 2013, you've gotta come out and LIVE the excitement that is Lanco!

Things went along rather smoothly in southern Chester County during 2012. And yet, every once in a while the news revealed that people were being unreasonable or just not thinking too clearly. Here are 10 things which we could have done without:
1. The circus surrounding the administrative leave and eventual resignation of Principal David Madden at Oxford: The constant bantering about who texted whom and who said nasty words about whom was taken too far. If this principal was to be disciplined and-or released, it should have been done in a more civilized manner without all the angry shouting and condemnation of the board.
2. The punishment of the Penn State football team: The players didn�t molest children. They were generally good kids who came out to practice day and do their best to be good sports. One coach, Jerry Sandusky, committed crimes against young people. It was appropriate for him and those who covered up to be punished -- not the kids.
3. Route 41: It�s been too many years that this road has been a death trap. It needs to be widened and improved. Too often people slow down to make left turns and get crushed from the rear. It�s time to recognize that this is a major route from the port of Wilmington into central Pennsylvania.
4. No lacrosse at Oxford: The kids have been stuck at the club level for several years. The other schools in southern Chester County have lacrosse teams, and it�s time for Oxford to join the neighbors and get the sticks moving.
5. No Child Left Behind and the PSSAs: The schools of Pennsylvania have been enslaved by the necessity to perform at ever higher levels on these tests. It has put too much emphasis on English and math to the exclusion of art, music and physical education. Education is not a one-size-fits-all matter, and students do not deserve the pressure that is being put on them. They have plenty of testing already. Get rid of these tests.
6. The coming end of Camp Tweedale: This is a good camp in a lovely location in Lower Oxford that serves the Girl Scouts of Chester County. The Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania have affirmed that the summer of 2013 will be Tweedale�s last, and then the scouts of the greater Philadelphia area will be limited to three camps that are more modern and much larger. The council has made a mistake and is taken the camping experience away from the girls. Tweedale will be sorely missed.
7. The confusion over what is historical and what is not: The barn at Franklin Township will be torn down, but not without loud protests from the historical preservationists. The Red Rose Inn is sitting is sitting in disrepair, getting more dilapidated everyday. There are some buildings that should just be torn down, because being old does not make them historical. If George Washington slept there, or if something important happened there, then let them stand. Otherwise, let progress reign.
8. The folks who protested the Avon Grove Charter School�s Mix It Up At Lunch: Mix It Up at Lunch is a nationwide project started by the Southern Poverty Law Center 11 years ago to break up cliques and prevent bullying. It is held annually at the Avon Grove Charter School. The idea is to encourage students to associate with others -- different from themselves -- whom they would not normally mix with at lunch that day. This year the conservative, evangelical group, the American Family Association, has urged parents to keep their kids home from school that day because it views the project as an attempt to promote homosexuality.
9. The protest against Kennett stadium lights: All the other schools have lights for night sports events. A few spoilers in Kennett Square have forced litigation and delays. It�s time for Kennett to have Friday night football.
10. Voter ID: It was on and then it was off. Too much time and confusion were spent trying to help people get their proper identification to vote, and then it was postponed. Let�s get it straight and don�t deprive the poor and elderly their constitutional right.

How to Backmask
Backmasking—also known as backwards masking—is writing a song that has a hidden message when played backwards. It's usually associated with Satanic messages. Backmasking, however, can be used as a form of artistic expression regardless of one's religious associations.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Get familiar with some back-masked tracks yourself.
- There has been a lot of talk about subliminal Satanic messages in songs, but the human mind cannot process information backwards as it receives it, even subconsciously. We're simply not built that way. So improve your lot by listening to music and voices backwards.
2Try to make sense of any random song backwards.
- You will have to flip the sound file around on some sound editing software.
- Try to distinguish words and write out lyrics to the full song backwards as you hear it.
3Write your own backmasked song.
- Write out the lyrics that you want to hear when the song is played backwards.
4Record the song forwards with music if you have it.
5Hum the tune that the lyrics will have.
6Listen to the recording backwards and familiarize yourself with the backwards lyric melody—that is, the tune of the words.
7Record the singing backwards with the lyrics you wrote previously.
8Flip the song forwards again and try to work out some lyrics that make sense from what you hear.
9Use these lyrics to record the song forwards finally. With any luck, when played backwards you will hear what sounds like your original lyrics.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Make a list of words that sound like other words backwards.
- Remember, sometimes the end of one word and the start of the next form a word backwards so inflection is very important.
- After you do this once it's much easier to understand. Backmasking is very fun to play around with but don't get swept away with the whole Satanic thing. It's just a cool trick you can do that sometimes sounds good. For a startling example of this technique, listen to "Don't Stop" by the Stone Roses—it's their song "Waterfall" played backwards, with semi-nonsense lyrics recorded over the top of the old track, based on the old lyrics when played backwards... very psychedelic, but hardly Satanic.
- Make sure that you don't get carried away; many people that try this end up worrying more about the song played backwards than forwards.

Bottle Warmers come in all shapes and sizes and use different methods to actually warm your baby's meal.
One important factor every mother should know is to never use the microwave to heat your baby's milk. The high heat of a microwave can not only cause dangerous "hot-spots" in the milk but, with regard to breast milk, can also result in a deterioration of nutrients and other beneficial qualities important for your baby's health and immunity.
What we found to be incredibly surprising in our warmer testing was that, not unlike the microwave, most of the bottle warmers we tested make it far too easy to overheat breast milk, which results in a significant loss of nutritional and immunological quality. For more on this we urge you to refer to our article Best Practices for Handling Breast Milk.
Alas, in our mission to help parents find the best, we put seven of the most popular bottle warmers to use and rated them based on our side-by-side comparisons. We noted which features worked great for us and which we'd rather not have to deal with. Based on our experiences, here's a run down of what we feel makes a bottle warmer a worthy investment.
Health and Safety
As stated previously, we looked closely at the method used to heat the bottle (steam vs. water bath) and the temperatures the bottle was submitted to during warming. Some of the steam warmers pushed temperatures up to 199 degrees F (93 C), which in our opinion, is way too hot to safely warm baby's milk, especially breast milk. When breast milk is submitted to high temperatures, many of it's health and protective qualities are damaged. Based on our findings, we don't recommend using plastic storage bags in a steam warmer, and would encourage that frozen breast milk be thawed overnight in the refrigerator before heating. This allows it to be exposed to less time in the warmer.
Please read our article Best Practices for Handling Breast Milk for more on this important topic.
Bottle Warming
Since a bottle warmers main purpose is to provide your baby with a comfortably warm meal, this was first priority in our testing.Dr. Brown's Deluxe Bottle Warmer and the Munchkin Precision Digital scored well in this area, producing a consistently warmed bottle with each use (yet even these warmers run at warming bath temperatures we believe are too hot to fully preserve breast milk quality). Others, like the First Years Quick Serve varied in their results, sometimes leaving us with in an overly hot or still cool bottle. We'd have to run it through a second, and in some cases a third, warming cycle which was frustrating. Your time is precious and we believe your bottle warmer should be capable of getting the job done consistently right on the first try.
Before a bottle warmer can fit seamlessly in to your routine, you have to learn how to use it. Out of the box, the warmers we tested included a wide variety of "parts". Ranging from one solid unit like the Kiinde Kozii to a unit plus eight extra pieces to figure out, like The First Years Nursery Bottle Warmer you can have a quite a task on your hands. The easiest to use warmer in our testing was the Editors' Choice Award winning Kiinde Kozii scoring a 9 out of 10. The Munchkin Precision Digital and the Dr. Brown's Deluxe Bottle Warmer, followed close behind at 8 out of 10 and 7 out of 10, respectively.
On top of assembly, there are charts included with each unit to help figure out warming times and these ranged from simple to complicated as well. (Think total overload with the First Years Nursery Bottle Warmer and First Years Quick Serve instructions, pictured at right).
You'll also want to think about the type of bottle you'll be using. Some of the warmers (Dr. Brown's Deluxe Bottle Warmer) didn't fit the extra-wide based bottles like Tommee Tippee or Comotomo. If you're using larger 8 oz. bottles, investing in a full size warmer might be to your advantage, as it should house them a little better.Munchkin Time Saver.
Another consideration we'd like to bring up is the recommended wait time for a unit to run a warming cycle consecutively. Being able to start another cycle immediately would be very important if you were heating two or more bottles in a row, say for twins. It's also handy if the first cycle doesn't quite get the milk warm enough. Most of the warmers we tested could be run again immediately, or at least within a few minutes. The longest wait time was 10 minutes between, and this was with The First Years Nursery Bottle Warmer and The First Years Quick Serve.
A few other features we appreciate is when a warmer has a timer that signals the end of warming with an audible beep. Additionally, we feel that an auto-safety shut-off feature is very important. The Philips AVENT Express had neither and its poor health/safety scoring is due to these very details. It is easy to get side tracked with baby while a bottle is warming. All but one of the warmers we tested turned itself off automatically. In many of the warmers we tested, warmed milk's temperature will continue to rise if the bottle is left in the warmer after it has reached "doneness" (ideally body temperature 98.6F/37C), often to the point where reverse steps then need to be taken to cool the bottle down in order to feed baby. Additionally, the healthful qualities of breast milk begin to degrade at temperatures starting around 104-113F/40-45C, so removing a bottle promptly when done is important both for health and safety reasons.
Lastly, we wanted to look at how easy each unit would be to clean. Although this isn't a per-use or even daily requirement, there is a certain aspect involved when it comes to cleaning a bottle warmer, and we found, that unless you spill milk on the unit, this really comes down to proper maintenance. Since bottle warmers use water in some form or another to warm a bottle, the issue seems to be mineral deposits forming someplace on the unit.
We hope that the addition of a bottle warmer to your personal baby gear line-up will help things run a little more smoothly at your house. Although it may take a few tries to get to that perfect setting, once you're there, your warmer should perform consistently and make life with baby just that much easier!
