Gadget Crazy
- By Steve Morgenstern
- | From Kevin Costner, Nov/Dec 00
What are the Santas in your life planning to buy you for the holidays this year? Maybe a beautiful cashmere sweater? A rare old first-edition? A bottle of 30-year-old Port?
Bah, humbug! Anybody knows that the gifts that really send your gratitude meter to 11 run on electrons. Plug it in, fill it with batteries, charge it up and flip the "on" switch--those are the presents that count for those of us living in the digital present. So grab a yellow highlighter, mark off the items that really get you where you live, and leave the magazine conspicuously, but casually, open where the family can't miss it. And while you're at it, why not photocopy your favorite pages and send them up to the North Pole. Those elves are doing amazing things with microprocessors nowadays.
The Nomad Jukebox looks like an ordinary portable CD player, but it's actually a digital music system on steroids. The device houses a high-capacity hard drive with room for roughly 150 CDs' worth of music--you can carry your entire music collection wherever you wander. To cram all that music into a 14-ounce gizmo, you first convert the CD audio tracks into MP3 files on your PC or Mac (a simple process, and the software's included), then connect the two via cable and start pumping music into the portable. Of course, the legally nebulous process of downloading music from the Net is another practical way to fill Nomad's capacious memory. $499
You're flying in coach. Your stomach is complaining, your knees are aching and your bladder's prodding you to climb over the enormous sleeping salesman next to you. At least you can make your ears happy with these incredibly comfortable headphones that filter out the rumbling, droning sound of planes in flight, leaving only crystal-clear movie soundtracks and audio CD playback. Using Acoustic Noise Cancelling technology developed for aircraft pilots, the QuietComfort headphones also work well in trains, cars and even noisy urban environments. If you crank up the audio loud enough, they'll even drown out that screaming kid across the aisle. Well, at least they'll come close. $299
The handsome Nokia 7100 is the company's first WAP-enabled phone, designed to put the wireless Web at your fingertips. The LCD display screen is big, bright and nicely backlit, and the roller controller located beneath it makes scrolling through screens a whole lot easier than the constant button-pecking needed to work your way through Web content on other cell phones. Additional features include voice-controlled dialing, an extensive built-in calendar and phonebook, and, to make it practical, cable and software are included to synchronize the telephone with your PC-based PIM software. $300 SUUNTO
Granted, you may only be checking your watch and wondering why the waiter's taking so long to bring the Cabernet, but isn't it more fun doing it on a great-looking timepiece that combines an altimeter, barometer, digital compass, dual-time readout, stopwatch and heart-rate monitor? And, oh yes, if you do happen to climb a mountain any time soon, you'll also have easy access to daily total vertical ascent/descent data. $339
You can easily get photos into your computer today--shoot them with a digital camera, scan in your existing snapshots, or ask to be given a disc along with your prints when you bring film in for development--but how are you going to show them off in a suitably Jetsons-like manner? For digital pictures, you need a digital picture frame, and Digi-Frame makes the best we've seen. With a nice, bright 5.6-inch, diagonal LCD screen and a selection of colorful snap-on borders to match your decor, the Digi-Frame sits on a desk or table, displaying an automatic slide show of your favorite images. It's undoubtedly the only time your neighbors will hear the words "slide show" without running for the door. $599
Most audiophile gear consists of very expensive components housed in decidedly ordinary-looking boxes. Now the folks who build handsome TAG Heuer watches and powerful McLaren race cars bring a combination of style and performance to high-end audio with their Aphrodite Music System and Calliope speakers. This is curvaceous, solidly built gear, sleekly styled right down to the CD compartment's elegant motorized sliding door. As for sound, CD playback is crisp but well rounded, with surprisingly hefty bass coming from the Calliope bookshelf speakers, and the AM/FM tuner displays admirable sensitivity and selectivity. $5,000 for Aphrodite system unit, $3,000 for Calliope speakers
A combination powerhouse video game console and DVD movie player, the PlayStation 2 is this season's must-have electronic purchase for teenagers and guys who still think like teenagers (in other words, guys). The performance specs are impressive if you're fluent in geek-speak: a 128-bit processor running at nearly 300 MHz, 75 million polygons per second from the graphics engine, and 6.2 gigaflops floating point performance (gotta love those gigaflops). What it all boils down to is the most realistic graphics and fastest action available in a console game machine at a price not much higher than an ordinary DVD player. $299
A movie lover's dream come true--a changer that holds up to 301 DVDs, ready to play at the push of a button. Going for mega-changer convenience doesn't mean sacrificing audio or video performance--the Onkyo delivers state-of-the-art playback, whether you've filled all those slots with DVD movies or slipped in a few audio CDs. Of course, the downside of conveniently packaging 600 hours of entertainment in a single box would be losing titles in a sea of choices. To avoid that, the player incorporates a sophisticated indexing system, recording disc title and artist's name in a searchable database. When you just want to watch a single DVD (a rental title, for example), one button-press swings the single-play slot into place, and another starts the show. $949, popcorn not included
Ordinary pagers have all the style and sizzle of soggy Corn Flakes. But paging technology isn't dead--it's morphed into a two-way medium that lets you not only be reached, but reach out as well, to another pager or via the Internet to anywhere on the planet. The new RIM 957 from Research in Motion is a wireless communicator/PDA hybrid. The screen is big and crisp, displaying a generous 20 lines of text. Thumb typing on the keyboard is surprisingly easy, and the RIM software gives the Palm PDA a run for its money, with access to contact info, calendar, to-do list and notes, all easily synchronized with your desktop computer software. $499
This slender, featherweight (2.26 oz.) handheld voice recorder has a voracious appetite for vocalizing--it can digitally store up to eight hours of audio, far more than competitor's models. The SVR-5285 can record your own musings with a built-in or clip-in microphone, or set it down in a conference room and discreetly capture the proceedings for later review. It even comes with an adapter to tape phone calls, plus software for uploading and editing voice files on your PC. Whether you're a busy exec who needs to dictate voice memos or just love great James Bond toys, this one's a winner. $189
The Danish audio/video/industrial design team at Bang & Olufsen, best known for sleek, modern stereo equipment, turns its attention to television with this wide-screen HDTV-ready set. Typical TV screens have a 4:3 width-to-height ratio, creating a boxy rectangle that makes it impossible to watch full-screen movies the way they were originally shot. This B&O set, though, has a cinema-friendly 16:9 screen, plus built-in Dolby decoding to make the most of DVD movie soundtracks. And it offers distinctive convenience features, including a remote-controlled motorized stand so you can rotate the set to match your viewing angle, and a sensor that automatically brightens or dims the picture in response to room light. $8,500
Like the familiar Palm PDA, the iPAQ lets you carry your address book, schedule and to-do list in a convenient handheld device--but that's just for starters. Boasting a beautiful color screen that's legible indoors and out (other color PDAs we've tried wash out in sunlight), the iPAQ lets you play MP3 music, work on Microsoft Word and Excel documents, read and write e-mail, browse a digital photo album, display full-color interactive city maps, and much more. It even makes a pretty good Web-browsing device, though you will have to add Compaq's PC Card Expansion Pack ($150) and a phone modem (about $100) to get connected. $499
The most significant development in couch-potato tech since the wireless remote control, digital video recorders provide unprecedented power over your TV viewing routine. Say you're watching your favorite show and the phone rings--just hit the pause button and live TV stops and waits until you return. If you miss a line of dialogue or a key fumble, you can rewind and play it over. And if you want to record a program, just choose it from the on-screen program guide and, with a click, it's scheduled. The Replay TV3030 shown here provides up to 30 hours of recording time, a 30-second Quick Skip feature to buzz through recorded commercials, and a free on-screen program guide service. (The Panasonic PV-HS2000 is its virtually identical cousin.) $600

Constitution - Apr 2013
A Veteran listed the following on a sheet of paper: The 4th , 5th and 6th Amendments to the Constitution; a statement by the US Attorney General authorizing the Office of the President to use unmanned drones to kill US citizens on American soil; and a statement from the ACLU on the "courageous" attempt by a US Senator to obtain more information about domestic drone use.
The Veteran took his paper to work for his friends to read in the break room. Returning later he found it torn to pieces. Holding back tears he gathered the pieces, taped them back together and took the paper home.
Every Veteran has taken an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…" How well we protect our Constitution today determines the freedom we have tomorrow.
Should you ever find our Constitution torn apart, take a moment to put the pieces back together.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures…" -Amendment IV
"No person shall be … deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law…" -Amendment V
"… the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury… [and] to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense." -Amendment VI
James Still, email@example.com
"… the Constitution of the United States, and the Laws made under it, must mark the line of my official conduct…" -George Washington

Dish Network Says Broadcaster Dumped It Because Of DVR AutoHop
The major networks have already lined up to fight Dish Network over AutoHop, its DVR function that allows viewers to skip over commercials entirely, with ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox filing separate lawsuits against it. And now a local broadcaster is taking issue with the ad-skipper, and has refused to carry Dish's signals.
Dish claims Hoak Media Corp., a Dallas-based company which owns 14 small-market television stations in places like Grand Junction, Colo. and Fargo, N.D., broke up with the company because of AutoHop, reports the Los Angeles Times.
"Hoak doesn't respect customer control — they are telling customers they must watch commercials," said David Shull, Dish's senior vice president of programming.
Dish claims that while talking with Hoak about a new distribution agreement, Hoak blocked Dish's ability to carry the stations.
"Hoak is insisting on a rate increase of more than 200% and has demanded that Dish eliminate customer-enabled commercial-skipping technology found on its Hopper," Dish said in a statement.
The AutoHop allows Dish's 14 million subscribers to more easily skip commercials on shows recorded on the DVR on the major networks during prime time. Instead of just fast-forwarding through ads, AutoHop causes the screen to go dark during commercial breaks for a few seconds before the show comes back on.
Last month when the networks filed suit in a U.S. District Court in California, claiming AutoHop violates their copyrights, Dish sued back in New York, asking the court to declare that its Auto Hop technology does not violate the network's copyrights.

Why See Memphis - The Musical?
see the Broadway Smash on Tour!
Since it opened in 2009,Tony award winning Memphis has been lauded as the perfect musical, with catchy, original songs, a touching story, with heart and comedy and high-energy dance numbers that bring the underground R&B clubs of 1950's Memphis to life with marvellous aplomb.
With a book from Joe Pietro and the Music and Lyrics from David Bryan, Memphis is loosely inspired by the story of DJ Dewey Phillips, the first white DJ to play black music in the American South. Dewey is now Huey Calhoun, the all round nice guy, whose only passions include good music and the talented Felicia Delray. Against the backdrop of the turbulent cultural divide of the time, Memphis explores the beginning of the civil rights movements and how Huey and Felicia struggle against racial prejudice and the ambitions of their own careers, set to songs that are already modern classics!
What is Memphis About?
At Delray's, a black underground rock 'n' roll bar, Huey Calhoun discovers the music that is to influence the rest of his life. Later, after loosing his job in a record store for playing black music, he is snapped up by a radio station who can see his potential and his selling power. He quickly becomes the most popular DJ in the area, and his championing of black music begins to break down social barriers and paves the way for a musical revolution!
did you know?
David Bryan, who wrote the music for the show, is a member of the rock band Bon Jovi.

With an alleged screen capture posted to the Ducati.ms web forum, a tidal wave of sloppy journalism took off as the news spread that Ducati had unknowingly slipped the debut of the 2012 Ducati Streetfighter 1198 ahead of schedule. Though the larger-displacement SF is expected to break cover this month, some unscrupulous person put together a photoshoped screen capture of the Streetfigther S engine details list from Ducati.com, and swapped out the Streetfighter S name for "Ducati Streetfighter EVO SP" in the fading to black background image.
With some typos in the copy, and the use non-conforming use of Ducati's "EVO" & "SP" nomenclature, the porported screen capture is a bit dubious to begin with, and should have tipped off enthusiasts that were quick to give it authenticity. Another red flag was the quoted 170hp figure, the exact same power output as the Superbike 1198. With the Streetfighter's more restrictive air intake and smaller airbox, like the 1098cc version, comparable Superbike level power figures will not be achievable. Then of course there's the whole issue regarding the fact that the 2012 Ducati Streetfighter 1198 will use the Testastretta 11° motor, found currently on the Multistrada 1200 and Diavel, instead of the higher-maintenance 1198cc Superbike lump.

AIRlift is the latest development in the Yamaha Stadium Series Hardware.
The Yamaha Stadium Series Marching Snare Drum Stand with AIRlift is designed to promote correct playing position on uneven bleachers and in the band room. Two unique technologies, the AIRlift adjustment system and patented Advanced Tripod System (ATS), make this possible.
The AIRlift system uses a gas strut to make height adjustment smooth and effortless. ATS technology allows height of one leg to adjust independently of the other two. This means while two legs rest on the stadium floor the third can rest on a bleacher seat. For maximum stability on flat surfaces the Stadium Series Marching Snare Drum Stand with AIRlift tilts back slightly to bring the center of gravity over the stand's base. In addition to these two features, Stadium Series Hardware is made of lightweight aluminum tubes. The aluminum ensures transportation is light and the tubular structure is rugged and durable.
Using this stand means percussionists can easily go from carrier to bleacher to band room without sacrificing playing technique or sound quality. This translates into less wear and tear on the drum, and less money coming out of the repair budget.

|Mohamed Sabry
Unfortunately active North Sinai journalist and blogger Mohamed Sabry "who is well known to almost all foreign journalists who worked in North Sinai" was arrested yesterday while doing a report about the area where our soldiers were killed on the borders last August 2011. It turned out that this area is a military zone and now Sabry will face the charges of trespassing and filming in military zone !!
Sabry is currently in the Central Prison in North and tomorrow morning he will be interrogated by military prosecution.
I feel so worried and sad , Mohamed does not deserve this. He helped a lot of journalists and reporters including me when it comes to news , sources and contacts in Sinai. Unlike many journalists he is unbiased and cares for his country and people.
I just hope that he will be released soon insh Allah and return back to young bride. He was married shortly and it is truly unfair.

October 9th will mark the one year anniversary of the release of The Last Fall! It seems like just yesterday that Holly and I were sitting at our kitchen table cracking open the box from the publisher that contained the very first copy to roll off the presses.
From the bottom of my heart, I wanted to thank you all for your supporting me through your prayers, input, endorsements, purchases, and for spreading the word!
As you enjoy the book, don't forget to post some reviews online (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Booksamillion, Christianbooks, etc).
Work on the sequel continues…


text: Is power amp output constant? 2018-02-07 18:23:30 Hi everyone,Excuse me for the potentially stupid question but I have to ask. Before I go on... I want to say the answer to my question is NO but here goes:Is the output wattage of a power amplifier constant regardless of volume/input levels?In context, I have a set of 6ohm speakers, rated at 250w continuous, 500 peak. The amp I have attached to them is a QSC GX5, which provides 500w cont. into 8ohms each side. So lets say something like 600w cont. into each side.Now this obviously exceeds the speakers rating by miles. However I am running the QSC GX5 volume at 50%. This is fed by a Cambridge 851D pre amp which I can never turn the volume up full on, normal listening will vary between -30dB and -15dB on the Cambridge display. At the -15dB position, my meter reads 97dB from a couple of meters away, so its loud.The long version of my question is:Because I have the power amp volume set to 50% and am limiting even further via pre amp volume control, the amplifier is not providing anywhere near its rated wattage regardless of the volume settings it is?In other words, I am not killing my speakers am I? They are fused I suppose.ThanksTom Last Edit: 2018-02-07 18:28:10 by tomstephens89

Court dates set for Kelly, McAllister
STANDISH — Former Standish City Manager Tori Kelly and former City Treasurer Melissa McAllister, who were arrested by officers of the Michigan State Police Post (MSP) in Tawas on Oct. 14 and Oct. 8, respectively, and fired by City Council on Oct. 8, are scheduled to appear in Arenac County's 81st District Court in the near future.
Kelly was arraigned in District Court on Tuesday, Oct. 14 and is scheduled for a status conference on Nov. 17. She faces four counts of embezzlement – felony charges that carry a punishment of up to ten years of incarceration each; and one count of willful neglect of duty, which is a one-year misdemeanor. An investigation by the MSP uncovered Kelly had embezzled approximately $1,800 in Standish tax monies and as City Manager she knowingly supervised in a dishonest manner.
McAllister waived her District Court arraignment and is scheduled for a pretrial on Oct. 28. She faces a misdemeanor charge of willful neglect of duty. The same investigation that divulged information on Kelly alleged Mc-Allister had participated in questionable practices during her work days; misappropriated winter and summer funds that were to be paid to Arenac County, Standish-Ster-ling Schools and the Bay-Arenac Intermediate School District; and was months behind on bank reconciliations.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 17 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
Red Storm Wrestling
We are a wrestling club that is just getting started this coming year. We are located in St. George Utah & associated with Dixie College. The style of wrestling we do is Collegiate Wrestling. Meaning we have the same style as all the NCAA college wrestling teams.
We want the design to be professional & classy that will capture fans attention. As we are a new program, we need to put a good image in front of our fans & supporters.
Any type of college or high school wrestling fans. Keep in mind this isn't the WCW wrestling you see on TV. We are not related at all. Here is a good overall site on the sport: http://www.themat.com/
Here are some examples sites, of other wrestling teams around the country. Although we don't particularly have a favorite:
Our colors are Red, Navy Blue & White. So our site will need to match that color scheme.
Here is a navigation layout that we're looking for:
- Home
- Coaches
- Wrestlers
- Club Sign Up
- Calendar
- Camps
- Tournaments
- Photos
- Red Storm Store
- Blog
- Contact
- Sponsors
Another section I would like included in the design will be a form that visitors can subscribe to a newsletter.
We are going to be adding this design to the Genesis wordpress framework: http://www.studiopress.com/themes/genesis Keep that in mind, during the design.
Other than that, we are open to ideas!

Dan Savage, who writes a nationally syndicated advice column on sexuality and sex, makes me wonder, what the hell was he thinking?
A woman in an open marriage wrote in to Savage explaining that five months ago a former partner had sexually assaulted her and since then she has found herself unable to be intimate with her husband, saying that his attempts to initiate sex made her "skin crawl". At the same time, however, she has not been having any trouble being intimate with her boyfriend, and even said that sex with him "is amazing and leaves [her] feeling loved and whole and wonderful."
The woman said that this situation left her husband feeling "depressed" and "angry" and that he told her to stop sleeping with her boyfriend until their marriage was "back to normal." This woman expressed hesitation about leaving her boyfriend, saying it pained her "to think about cutting out the one positive relationship remaining."
Savage responded, among other things:
That is a direct quote.

Today we are talking about the creative vision behind Tim Holtz's Decorative Strips and Texture Fades.
The Tim Holtz Alterations Decorative Strips are a little different than his other Sizzix dies. These are chemically etched, so you get more die for your money. The only mediums you can cut with them are cardstock and paper. Check out my favorite, the Ticket Strip - Tim specifically designed this die to coordinate with his Stampers Anonymous Line of Stamps - Admit One, Movie Ticket, Love Ticket, Circus Ticket, and Transport Ticket!
The Tim Holtz Alterations Texture Fades are embossing folders for the "distressed"! These embossing folders give a deep impression and the design fades in and out in some places to give your art an aged look. These are "not cookie cutter embossing folders" as Tim says in his video. The Texture Fades are the most highly anticipated product in the whole Tim Holtz Alterations Line. They are available in the beginning of May, but we are taking PREORDERS now. Get yours first before they are all gone!
Here is Tim's Video showing the creative vision behind these two lines of fabulous products. This video is courtesy of his BLOG (HERE). If you haven't been to his blog, please check it out. His blog is full of inspiration, techniques, and so much more! I promise you will always learn something! Enjoy!
And Good News! We have these Decorative Strips in STOCK!

DETROIT — With the paint barely dry on the all-new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the reaction to the seventh-generation icon has been swift and polarizing.
The style on the C7, as this model is known, deviates from Corvette traditions more than any other model in the car's history. Notably, it's the first model of the car since 1961 that does not feature the iconic four round taillights.
In a move that General Motors says it hopes will pull in a younger, more global audience, the rear of the car now features a quartet of squared-off lights not unlike those on Chevy's Camaro muscle car.

Facebook, Google Trends, and Twitter have all lighted up with reactions. Some love the car, praising it as a bold step in the Corvette's evolution.
But not everyone is behind the change, charging that it's a cheap ripoff of the lesser Camaro and too great a departure from a storied design.

Felker enters fifth decade with MSU football
Rockey Felker has been associated with five decades of Mississippi State football.
After his playing days at MSU, Felker also began his coaching career during the 70s. He became head coach of the Bulldogs in the 80s and his final year was 1990, then returned to MSU in 2002 and is in his second season as the Director of Player Personnel and High School Relations.
"There are a lot of memories and it's had to believe I've been a part of Mississippi State for that number of years," Felker said. "I still felt like I did when I was in college. I feel at home here."
Felker, who said being part of the Bulldogs is still like living out a dream, was born in Corinth and grew up in Jackson, Tenn. He and his father Edwin "Babe" Felker would attend MSU games in Memphis and make it to Starkville when they could.
"My dad loved Mississippi State and I grew up in Tennessee listening to Jack Cristil," Felker said.
Playing for the Bulldogs is something Felker said, "I didn't think would ever happen."
Felker made his decision to attend MSU while watching the Bulldogs defeat the Archie Manning-led Ole Miss Rebels 19-14 in Oxford. He was one of the last 30-40 signees for the Bulldogs.
After one year of playing freshman football, Felker became a regular behind center at MSU and led the 1974 team to a 9-3 record, leading the Southeastern Conference in total offense and helped the Bulldogs beat North Carolina in the Sun Bowl.
Felker began his coaching career at MSU in 1975 working with the junior varsity, then was the receivers and running backs coach of the Bulldogs from 1976-78.
He made assistant coaching stops at Texas Tech (1979-80), Memphis State (1981-82) and Alabama (1983-85) before becoming the head coach at MSU from 1986-90.
With a 6-5 record in 1986, Felker became the first Bulldog head coach to post a winning record in his first season since Darrell Royal did it in 1954.
Felker departed MSU after the 1990 season and spent 11 more seasons in college as an assistant, serving two stints as offensive coordinator at Tulsa (1991-92, 1997-99) and at Arkansas (1993-96).
Since returning to the Bulldogs in 2002, Felker has served under three head coaches in Jackie Sherrill, Sylvester Croom and now Dan Mullen. He was Coordinator of Football Operations from 2002-06, running backs coach and recruiting coordinator from 2007-08 and his current position from 2009 to present.
While Mullen made his adjustment to being a first-time head coach last season, he leaned heavily on the experience of Felker.
Mullen said Felker helps take away the pressure of speaking engagements, establishing relations with the university, high school players and former players and has even asked his opinion on certain coaching decisions.
"I'll check with Rockey on different situations at practice and things that we're doing," Mullen said.
Felker, who has been a busy man this week by speaking to the Rotary Club on Monday and the Kiwanis Club on Tuesday, expressed his thanks to Mullen for letting him remain a part of the program and welcoming his input.
"He's been real good to me," Felker said. "He's asked me for different opinions whether it be football, recruiting or things I can help him out with. He's a good coach and has the program headed in a good direction. I just want to help out any way I can.
Mullen understands Felker's popularity and what he means to MSU.
"Rockey is a great ambassador of the university and he's been here so long," Mullen said. "He's so familiar with everybody and it's really comfortable with a new coaching staff. When former players come back, there's a familiar face to go hang out with and talk to. They get to meet the coaches and meet the new players.
"He creates a real comfortable bond with the Mississippi State of old and Mississippi State of new with the football program."

Avoid Ubuntu!!!
Avoid Ubuntu seems after the last vulnerability, Ubuntu still seems quite full of glitches. It is acting quite funny, at least 17.10 X386 edition, after installing on a laptop of mine. Maybe I will get better results after running updates, but it seems they have not corrected the bugs on the initial install from Conical Homepage, I would suggest sticking with Mint for time being, or another trusted Linux distribution.
I guess until Ubuntu is free of bugs, anybody should avoid installing it on a system. Knowing luck I had with Conical, hopefully the issue can be resolved in a timely manner. Anybody else having issues with any or all Ubuntu editions and can you suggest any solutions to the issues.

Michael Dell Goes Into Safe Mode
Apr 1, 2013 11:54 AM PT
Michael Dell, CEO of the PC maker that bears his name, may be considering a buyout offer from the Blackstone Group -- a bid that competes with a deal he put together himself -- but only with some serious strings attached.
Apparently he not only wants the company to retain the Dell moniker, but also wants to remain in charge. If Blackstone Group can't guarantee him the CEO spot, Dell reportedly said he would cash in his shares and walk away. That would mean his 15.6 percent stake in the company -- about $4.5 billion -- would go with him.
In February, Silver Lake Partners unveiled a plan to buy out the company for US$24.4 billion and take it private. That's the deal Michael Dell forged. Microsoft is also participating with a $2 billion loan. The proposal soon faced opposition from Dell's largest outside investor, Southeastern Asset Management, which cried foul over the $13.65 a share price.
Blackstone Group is reportedly offering $14.25 per share, while corporate raider Carl Icahn has called for the repurchase of up to 58 percent of Dell stock at $15 a share.
"Michael Dell clearly has a strategy for his company," said Craig Stice, senior principal analyst at IHS iSuppli.
"He wants it to succeed, and he wants to be the one leading the way," he continued.
"It's somewhat ironic that the reason behind his wanting to go private -- to escape the scrutiny and microscope of the public eye -- now seems to be the force driving the complications today and possibly keeping them somewhat public," Stice told the E-Commerce Times.
Dell Pulls Out
"The most important thing to remember in all this is how deeply invested Michael Dell is in his company -- not in the sense of the shares he owns, though that's a significant point, but regarding intellectual and emotional investment," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT.
"When Dell returned to the company in 2007 and began driving what he called Dell 2.0, I doubt anyone expected the rapid, even radical transformation that resulted," King told the E-Commerce Times.
"Staying on to finish that process -- even if Blackstone were to succeed in its bid -- would bring Dell a gratifying sense of closure. At the same time, Michael Dell is an able and astute businessman who knows when and how to walk away from a deal. That's especially the case if Blackstone doesn't come up with a worthwhile, guaranteed offer."
Make-or-Break Clause
Were Dell to walk away, it would make a buyout for any of the three interested parties much more complex.
"By cashing out, he'd take the value of the stock down sharply and damage Blackstone and the investors that remained significantly," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "By doing this, he assures that the Blackstone move can't work without him."
This could make an employment contract with termination penalties so high that Blackstone couldn't afford to fire Dell.
"He wants to assure that Blackstone can't replace him as CEO and then break up the company and sell it in parts in a way that would destroy the company," Enderle told the E-Commerce Times. "Either they do it with him or they don't do it, because the alternative would be too high of a cost for Blackstone to bear."
Dell the Deal Maker
Michael Dell thus holds a very significant trump card in any deal in the works. It could enable him to preserve the company he built and ensure his legacy.
"Blackstone may or may not have been friendly to him in private, but in public it bandied about the names of some of his rivals as possible replacements," said Roger L. Kay, principal analyst at Endpoint Technologies Associates.
"That's not exactly friendly, but Michael could still do a deal with Blackstone," he told the E-Commerce Times. "This is business, after all. People don't need to like each other. They just need to do business. A Blackstone offer without him is highly unlikely, since they'd have to up the ante considerably."
Make It Hurd
Oracle Co-President Mark Hurd's name has been floated around as a potential Dell CEO replacement, which could be enough to make Michael Dell extra cautious.
"Hurd is a cutter, and Dell knows him to be a company killer," said Enderle. "In effect, by floating Hurd they were holding Dell the company hostage to force Michael Dell to the table. This may have backfired, based on Michael Dell's response. Michael Dell's response is to remind Blackstone that the company bears his name and that he intends to fight to ensure the firm isn't bled to death."
Other Players
If the Blackstone deal fails to gel, the question then becomes which of the other players could possibly step up.
Microsoft's investment would be iffy, at best, if the Silver Lake deal fails to close. That agreement precludes Microsoft from participating in any other deal, Kay noted.
"Microsoft's interest is in Dell's survival as a major power in the industry and the existing relationship is between Steve Ballmer and Michael Dell," said Enderle. "[Microsoft execs] are moving to support Dell as much as they can and would respond poorly should the company and Michael Dell part ways."
Of course, Icahn could make a big move, but he "doesn't appear to be really in this game all that strongly -- though he could be a king maker should he suddenly switch to supporting one side or the other," Enderle added.
Any Dell deal will likely require the stars to line up just right.
It will be a delicate balance, suggested iSuppli's Stice: "keeping the investors happy, getting what Michael Dell wants, and doing what he thinks is best for the company."

Ancient philosopher Plato said he heard the legend of Atlantis from his father, who heard it from an Egyptian priest (known as Solon), and recently in fact they've found 4,000-year-old cocaine in an Egyptian mummy when coca plants only grow in South America, which means that 4,000 years ago, SOMEONE was trading between South America and North Africa (the Sahara used to be green and lush during the last Ice Age with a great river flowing into the Nile from the west - which means that the boundary of North African civilization was much further west into Libya or maybe as far as Argelia or Morocco).
We also know that in the last ice age, the ocean levels were much lower because more water was held up as ice, so that we're expecting a huge reservoir of archaeological finds to resurface in the next ice age, when water levels return to their ice age lows again.
Now, I'm generally a skeptic and in this age where anything passes for documentary on the History Channel, this story was suspicious but I read it in a Latin American newspaper, and then found this information on a submerged pyramid off the coast of Florida / Cuba, which I think is fascinating. Please share and share your comments.
Vids on the find:
Perhaps eclipsing the discoveries of Troy and King Tut's tomb is the discovery of Atlantis. Now, two daring scientists, Paul Weinzweig and Pauline Zalitzki, claim they've found it. They discovered the submerged ruins of the ancient city off the shores of Cuba. In the distant past the region was dry land, but now only the island of Cuba remains above water. The ancient city is 600 feet below the ocean and the team of researchers led by Weinzweig and Zalitzki are convinced it is Atlantis—the city lost for more than 10,000 years.
Atlantis found in Bermuda Triangle
Two scientists, Paul Weinzweig and Pauline Zalitzki, working off the coast of Cuba and using a robot submersible, have confirmed that a gigantic city exists at the bottom of the ocean. The site of the ancient city — that includes several sphinxes and at least four giant pyramids plus other structures — amazingly sits within the boundries of the fabled Bermuda Triangle.
According to a report by arclein of Terra Forming Terra, Cuban Subsea Pyramid Complex, the evidence points to the city being simultaneously inundated with rising waters and the land sinking into the sea. This correlates exactly with the Atlantis legend.
The disaster may have occurred at the end of the last Ice Age. As the Arctic icecap catastrophically melted it caused sea levels to rise quickly around the world, especially affecting the Northern Hemisphere. Coast lines changed; land was lost; islands (even island continents) disappeared.
At the end of last Ice Age sea levels were nearly 400 feet lower than present day levels. Once the waters began to rise, they rose swiftly. Conceivably, no technology then, or now, could have saved Atlantis from its watery grave. The evidence that land in what's now the Caribbean also sank into the sea concurrently seems pretty certain.
Arclein observes: "At the time uplifted portions of the Mid Atlantic Ridge subsided also including Lyonese and the home islands and land mass around the Azores. Even if that had not happened, this subsidence was amply large enough.

hmmm my BS senses are tingling...
I would have thought this would of made a bit more of a splash if there was anything credible to it.
And the conformation of this find is to be found where?

A Noe Meza goal in just the second minute of play against Wenatchee proved to be the winner in the Sunnyside Grizzly soccer team's 2-0 victory at home last night.
Tuesday's CBBN league opener saw Sunnyside tack on its second goal in the 21st minute when Christian Chavez gathered in an errant kick from the Wenatchee keeper and found the back of the net.
The Grizzlies enjoyed a 14-to-3 advantage in shots on goal, but were unable to score the rest of the way.
"Throughout the game we had plenty of opportunities, we just weren't able to be efficient," said Sunnyside Coach David Guevara. "It was a matter of being a foot off or hitting the crossbar."
Despite the lopsided advantage in shot attempts, Guevara said the match result could have gone in Wenatchee's favor. "They got some quality shots against us," he said.
Sunnyside (1-0, 7-0) hosts Eastmont this coming Friday.
Guevara cautions the Grizzlies can't take the Wildcats (2-5) or any CBBN foe for granted.
"It's always been a mantra for this league that it's a playoff game every night," says Guevara, who shares coaching responsibilities with Sergio Licona. "At any given time you can be knocked off. The last thing you need is to lose a game you should have won."
As the CBBN's only 3A team in a field of 4A schools, every win is vital for the Grizzlies as playoff seeding will be based on winning percentage.
Taking care of business in league play, then, will decide if Sunnyside gets to host a playoff game or has to hit the road.
And that won't be easy as the top-10 ranked 3A Grizzlies still have to tackle the likes of league opponents Davis and Eisenhower, which are both ranked among 4A soccer programs.
"Every night is an important game for us," Guevara said.

Liberty News
Hotel magnate Horst Schulze addresses employees
Horst Schulze, who spoke in convocation last year, returned to Liberty University as the guest speaker at an event that recast the vision of the "You Matter" campaign for more than 2,000 faculty and staff on Tuesday.
Schulze, founder and CEO of the Capella Hotel Group, came to the United States in 1965 and worked for the Hyatt and Hilton hotel groups before becoming COO of Ritz-Carlton in 1988.
|View a short clip from Tuesday's session.
Ron Kennedy, senior vice president of Marketing, introduced Schulze as a "legend in the hotel business" and a leading speaker in the area of customer service.
Schulze shared with employees the three principles he espouses in his ventures with Capella: have a vision, be committed to that vision, and implement the steps it takes to get there.
"You don't go to work to go to work," Schulze said. "You go to work to create excellence."
He focused on three things a customer expects from products or services they purchase: quality (free of defects), timely service, and caring service.
He spoke on emphasizing the value of first impressions and on making the customer feel important at first contact.
"You [Liberty University] are in the business to give people value, to go out and change the world," Schulze said.
He said he travels 200 days a year, and that he sees Liberty as a "light" in America.
"Do not let your light go out," Schulze said. "You are a light to everyone that you come in contact with, so make sure that you do not dim your light and make sure you value everyone."
The You Matter campaign was first launched in August 2011 as a university-wide initiative to provide faculty and staff with the resources needed to carry out the mission of changing students' lives and helping to train Champions for Christ.
- View more quotes on Liberty's You Matter Twitter page. A video of Tuesday's event will be available soon on the You Matter website.

Horton Holiday Travel Tips
Pre Trip Prep Tip:
Pack Smart. Bring your resistance bands, a jump rope, healthy protein bars and a sturdy leak-proof empty (for security reasons) water bottle.
At the Airport:
Take the stairs often. Escalator schmescalator!!! Use the stairs whenever possible. If you've got a long lay over – climb a long staircase a couple of times or powerwalk through those terminals. Your legs will love the release after being cramped up, back in coach.
Fly the Hydrated Skies:
Pack the empty water bottle with your carry-on (you can fill it after you pass security). Airplane air is desert-dry. Much of the "jet lag" people experience is actually dehydration. So indulge in the H2O before, during and after your flight and you'll be amazed at how much better you feel.
Pack the Protein:
Eating several small healthy meals througout the day is key to good nutrition, and almost impossible to do when travelling – unless you bring your own. So stash some healthy bars in your carry-on, and even if the flight is turbulent, your blood sugar won't be.
While Visiting:
Sweat it out. Exercising at least 20 minutes a day is a great way to burn off the family stress. You can do plenty with resistance bands, your rope and a sturdy chair – so get creative! Can you say UML? It'll keep your mood up and your weight down.
Check the Holiday Cheer:
Holiday drinks such as eggnog, peppermint schnapps, hot rum and the like are loaded with calories. If you treat them as deserts in liquid form, you'll have fewer surpises the next time you step on the scale.
Get Jerky:
Healthy between-meal snacks may be even harder to find at your relatives than at the airport! So have plenty of those protein bars available and try stashing some natural Turkey Jerky in your parka in case of emergencies. Reaching for them before the chocolate or fruit cake will keep your appetite (and your mood) at an even keel.
Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the tips Tony! Having just finished my first week of the P90X program, I've been contemplating how I'm going to manage to keep up during my week of Holiday travels. Definitely going to pack my bands, bars and shakes. Wishing you all the best! You are my hero.
- Destiny said...
Thanks Tony! Great tips. I just started P90X this week too, and you really are a great workout leader. Previously I believed that only the most annoying of people ever chose to put out exercise videos - not that P90X is just some "exercise video" mind you - but you have proven that theory wrong.
- niko63 said...
Thanks for sharing these super healthy travel tips. Yes, they tend to not only help the body, but sometimes even more importantly, they help create peace of mind--especially when my Italian nonna pulls out six different homemade pies after dinner and screams mangia! mangia! you're getting too skinny over there!!:) I actually feel good when she says that.;
Safe travels and a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you and all your loved ones!
- JayBee said...
Great tips. My wife and I are finishing our third week of P90X and we are going to take the yoga and core synergistics dvd's with us to do while we're at her parents house. I have found myself craving another workout each day. I still have a lot of weight to lose but my wife looked at me this morning and said she noticed that i have lost some weight around my waist!!! Sweet!!
i am X-static!! i love p90X, what am I gonna do at the end of these 90 days???
- Anthony said...
Just wishing you a Happy Holiday season, Tony! I am loving X, just finishing up my third week!
Thanks for the commitment to getting people like me in shape... sometimes it takes a boot in the butt to make it happen. This program serves me as that boot. :)
Take care!
- AlfaSunshine said...
well it's starting with the food for me...but i started the x a couple weeks ago so at least i have a counter attack in place. I'm not traveling this year so it's all about what happens at the grocery store...yesterday there were 2 items i might should have thought twice about...2 out of like 40 isn't too bad...oh well Merry Christmas.
- Anne Dovel said...
Love the water/airline tip. I flew to Ireland this summer, and despite the fact that I knew I'd be up and down the aisle frequently, I drank water the entire trip. Felt great when I got there. I also got lots of exercise going up and down those aisles! :) Everyone else was sleeping..why not? You can also buy water on the other side of the security gate and I bought a liter of water for each leg of the trip. I also asked for extra water on the plane.
Drink that water! :)

I think if you change the IsSpecial from 0 to 1, you lock the player? I think that if you want to change the IsSpecial from 0 to 1, you must change the IsFA from 0 to 1. Does that make those challenges of those players? I think it returns NBA's Greatest (but unlocking the FA classic players), but I'm not sure if it does or not. I don't want to do that on the historic Tim Duncan, historic Mike Bibby, historic Peja Stojakovic, historic Hedo Turkoglu, historic Kobe Bryant, historic Raja Bell or historic Gerald Wallace or that will make it 2 of those current players:
2 FA Mike Bibbys
2 FA Peja Stojakovics
1 FA Kobe Bryant and 1 LAL Kobe Bryant
1 FA Gerald Wallace and 1 BKN Gerald Wallace
1 FA Raja Bell and 1 UTA Raja Bell
1 FA Hedo Turkoglu and 1 ORL Hedo Turkoglu
1 FA Tim Duncan and 1 SA Tim Duncan
But I want to make challenges for the Play Now with historic teams where you unlock the FA classic players. There is no question that you can make them special FAs, but there is a question whether or not it allows you to unlock those FA historic players.

Too Many Too Soon?
Sheamus is WWE champion. Drew McIntyre is Intercontinental champion. Shawn Michaels and Triple-H are Unified tag team champions.
Generally speaking, I like the idea of WWE giving major pushes to young talent. And I really do not worry about a young wrestler being given too much responsibility too soon. If it doesn't work out, after all, there is ample opportunity to put the belt back on a more established star. (Besides, I like what Sheamus and McIntyre have to offer, and I think those other two kids will work out, too.)
I just wonder why WWE would want to put belts on Sheamus and McIntyre on the same night. It gives me the impression that they are forcing this youth movement down our throats, like all of a sudden they realized that the normal rotation of headliners was getting stale and they had to make a radical adjustment. Is WWE trying to send a message to the established superstars that they are replaceable and that they should not be overly demanding come contract time?
Maybe I'm way off-base. What do you think?

Giving Sheamus and McIntyre respective title runs has definitely sparked a renewed interest in the main event and mid-card booking for me. Speculation as to why this decision was made can point to various theories: to shake their consistently stagnant ratings, to rebutt the online rumour mills that report WWE "giving up" on creating new stars with several young talent, and so forth. I personally believe it may have a little something to do with March of '10. Can't put my finger on it... I know there's SOMEthing going on around that time...
Maybe giving these newcomers the titles for a few months will help them earn respectable title runs for a decent build-up towards their respective 'Mania bouts. If I'm not mistaken, with the exception of Edge, both Triple H and John Cena have been main-eventing 'Wrestlemania' as WWE Champions for the past six years (since 'Wrestlemania XX'). A few new faces on both the top- and lower- tiers going into 'Mania may answer those critics who warn that the next wave of 'Wrestlemania' headliners six years from TODAY can't be ones that have headlined in 1998. Yes, Shawn Michaels versus Steve Austin made for a classic 'Wrestlemania XIV' bout, but I hesitate in bringing friends over to watch Shawn Michaels main event 'Wrestlemania' in 2016. So any work towards making new stars today can only be seen as progress. Assuming the newcomers retain in March, of course. The 'Wrestlemania' rub can't hurt, regardless.
Whatever the reason for the supposed WWE 'youth movement', one thing is clear - where there's speculation, there's attention.
And in the end, isn't that exactly what Vinny Mac wants?
...just not in a 'Katie Vick' or 'HLA' kind of way, I hope.

"Families celebrate this holiday season in many different ways depending on their religious beliefs, ethnicity, culture and tradition. But the holiday ideal of "peace on earth" is universal, and it holds special meaning for us this year. As families come together across America this holiday season, many will mourn the loss of loved ones and the absence of those who have been called to serve their country.
"Our enemy is not just one man and his terrorist networks. In a country founded on diversity and freedom, our enemy is intolerance. Each of us can help create a more tolerant world simply by treating each other with understanding, kindness and respect. This season of giving is the perfect time to put those words into action by donating your time and resources to help those less fortunate in our community. Each time you help another person, we all take another step closer to toward true peace on earth.
"May God bless you and your family this holiday season, and may God bless America."

Wanted: hefty hounds, fat cats & bulky bunnies.
Take-aways, biscuits, chips and even alcohol – are all fuelling an ongoing obesity crisis for UK pets. According to vet charity PDSA, more than 10 million pets are getting fatty treats, due to owners sharing their own unhealthy eating habits with their pets in a well-intentioned but misguided attempt to make them happy.
Around 2.5 million dogs (one in three) and over two million cats (one in four) are currently overweight and, not only could they have their lives cut short, they will also have a drastically reduced quality of life in some cases.
To help combat the problem the charity has launched its annual fat-fighting competition, PDSA Pet Fit Club. Over the last eight years, the contest has transformed the lives of some of Britain's fattest pets, many of whom simply wouldn't have survived had their weight issues not been tackled.
Owners can enter their pets at www.pdsa.org.uk/petfitclub; the deadline for entries is Sunday 27 April 2014.
