The PlayStation 2's magnum opus is taking a step closer to hitting the big screen.
Josh Trank, whose previous credits include Chronicle, is taking the helm of the Sony Pictures backed movie. Whether Shadow of the Colossus makes any further moves towards theatres or fades away into obscurity (as so many video game movies have done in the past) remains to be seen. Trank is currently working on a reboot of the Fantastic Four and on a Venom spinoff so it may be some time before we get any concrete details for photography or even a script.
Not a bad director. Loved Chronicle a lot more than I thought I would
Cool hopefully hes a fan of the game and doesn't try turning it into something different.
No offense but the guys done one film and did some stuff for The Kill Point
I don't understand how Sony can take a chance with something highly rated as Shadow of the Colossus with a no name director who lets be honest got lucky with Chronicle...it was good but not that good, but when it comes to the Uncharted movie they can't even take that kind of chance and give Nolan, Emily and Richard their parts...hell not even let Amy Hennig write the film or at least rewrite the game script for Uncharted Drakes Fortune to suit the big screen
Come on Sony
Well for it to be a movie they have to change it at least a little. Watching a movie with no talking and just slowly searching for a Colossus one at a time may not exactly be an attraction for everyone. They are going to have to spice it up at least a little.
@ MikeCosgrove.I think you are being overly harsh. How is Chronicle just getting lucky? Why couldn't to be he had a good idea and executed it properly? Do you also think the people who made their first movie were also lucky that it worked? Everyone was a 'no named director' at some point in their life.Besides with the notorious way game movies always end up do you really believe that they could get any high end director to do this.

IDE/ATA vs. SCSI: Interface Comparison
Since the market has come to be dominated by the two interface standards, IDE/ATA and SCSI, the question of "which is better" has been bandied about endlessly on the Internet and in other places as well. The simple answer is that neither is better than the other, absolutely. Why? Because if one were clearly superior to the other in every way, the superior one would have taken over the market completely and forced the other one out. The fact that both are in common use (and have been for many years) proves that both have valid reasons for being on the market. Contrast this to the older ST-506/412 interface, for example, which was made obsolete by IDE/ATA since it had no advantages to cause it to persist, and disappeared very quickly.
Whether IDE/ATA or SCSI is better depends on what your needs are, and how much you are willing to spend. In this section I attempt to put the issue in perspective by looking at various performance and quality aspects of the interface and seeing how IDE/ATA and SCSI stack up at each. Of course this will be colored somewhat by my own experience and biases (the entire web site is--that's just life). However, I am attempting here to be as objective as possible in contrasting the two interfaces, and trying to be comprehensive in looking at all of the aspects that are relevant to making a decision.
A primary deciding factor in the SCSI vs. IDE/ATA question is the number of devices you plan to use (or use in the future) in your system. In many respects, IDE/ATA is superior if you are using only one, two or three devices such as hard disks or CD-ROMs. If you are using many devices, say over four, then SCSI is superior to IDE/ATA in several different respects. I should also mention that many times people make the decision about what interface to use based on what interface they began with; few are willing to buy all new devices in making an interface switch. And of course, it's quite possible to use both interfaces in the same system.

Anyone else feel socially alienated
This thread makes for an interesting read. There are many truths expressed about the "darker" side of being strong, competent, achieving, and a perfectionnist.
I have pondered about the topic many times, trying to find out the ideal strategy to counteract the negative consequences of excelling. Following success, I have suffered from the practical consequences of envy, fear, and the resulting emotional or social alienation. I tried several strategies, from dumbing myself down, showing weakness, making mistakes, to flauting my achievements and being prideful. None of them seemed entirely satisfying, because I was overdoing one or the other, and I was left wondering if I could ever continue to achieve while keeping the peace of mind I used to have before.
I asked myself many questions, wondering what I could correct about myself. I went through a very dark period where, although I did not doubt of my competence, I doubted of the ability of people to recognize my competence. Indeed, I was blocked everywhere I was going, no matter how well I presented my case. Nobody wanted to tell me what the problem was, and the reason being that there was nothing to correct about myself. The problem was that I could not find anymore somebody to "look up to" in order to progress further.
To get out of this, the most important concept I had to be conscious of is the one of "paradox". The paradox of being the most popular, yet emotionally alienated. Of being central to the group, yet lonely. Of being the most respected, yet the one receiving the most criticism. Of not being able to lead when you say you are a leader, and being chosen as a leader when you say you don't want to lead. Of being in charge of people, yet being highly dependent on the information you receive from them. Of being asked to show empathy, but only respected if you're tough. It is the endless play between the leader and the group, the difference between thought and feelings. It is the power exchange that happens between you, as an ENTJ, and the people you are guiding.
I applied this concept and theory. I started to speak less, even if people complained I didn't speak enough. I flaunted my strengths, even if people said I shouldn't. I said I didn't want to lead anymore, and people turned to me to lead. I made mistakes and talked about my vulnerabilities, and if people said I wasn't that strong I simply said that I still have many flaws to overcome. The results were that I felt as good as before, people felt closer to me, and everyone of my words had far more reach.
Move against people mentally, but go along with them emotionally. Be openly objective about yourself: admit your real weaknesses, and flaunt your real strengths with pride.
I feel a bit enlightened from the advice that I've heard from this thread, and I appreciate everybody posting.
ComplexMango mentioned that working on empathy and listening helped you immensely. How did you improve these skills?
Also Jen mentioned that INTJ's may overthink and be held back socially. Would anybody have any ideas on a fix for this?
Since writing the post, I've read a book that accelerated my progress towards being more 'at peace' (for lack of a better phrase) and a better listener. It's called 'The Pursuit of Perfect' by Tal Ben Shahar, who also wrote another book that helped, called 'Happier'.
In a nutshell, he contrasts the 'perfectionists' and the 'optimalists', and recommends being the latter. One of his arguments that is relevant to this discussion, and that particularly struck a chord with me, was the fact that 'perfectionists' (as defined by him) look at progress as a straight line, with any failure viewed as negative and a step backwards. On the other hand, 'optimalists' view progress as a winding path that also includes tangled circlular sections. Since their expectations are set differently, they are less impacted by failure, and less hard on themselves than the 'perfectionists'. And as a result, they are less harsh on others as well.
When I read his explanation (much better detailed than the paragraph above), I realized that Im usually pretty harsh on myself because I have high expectations, and that I may be not as understanding and less forgiving of other people as well. Just realizing that has helped me socially significantly.
Another interesting thought experiment was realizing that I often judge peoples actions based on a comparison between their actions and how I would have acted in their situation. The breakthrough was realizing that I am not them, so putting myself in their shoes is meaningless… The real question is trying to understand how THEY feel in their shoes.
For example, I've become much nicer to ESTJs by understanding their need for security. Then it becomes clear that in many situations when they get angry they are actually scared or uncomfortable because of a security-related issue. So behavior that earlier seemed illogical or inconsiderate or annoying prompts a more sympathetic understanding from me.
I don't know how this became an essay yet again, but hope this helps. I would recommend buying the 'pursuit' book.
Althought Social alienation does not bother me like it used to, I have a daughter (21) that is the only other ENTJ that I know. So her and I are reading the following books:
The Art of Migling by Martinet
How to Make People like you ( in 90 seconds or less) by Boothman
The Fine Art of Small talk by Fine
In order for some of the younger ENTJs to develop friendships with probably SPs and SJs these are the things they will have to learn.
Other wise they will spend their lives outside the window, in the rain, with their noses pressed up against the glass, looking in at all the fun.
That is hard when you are an extrovert!!

I think most NTs have some level of problem dealing with non-NTs. I rather think that if we were the majority it would be the SFs who would be having horrible trouble dealing with people - but we're not.
I think social skills - and dealing with people you don't have much in common with, requires experience. You just have to be in enough social situations that you start figuring people out. Reading up on relationship books of psychology books or whatever, can give you a starting point for understanding things assuming its not happening naturally.
Another book that has helped me tremendously understaned how others think is Keirsey on Please Understand me II
I never realized that NT's are only 2 -at the most 10% of the population. That as a group NT tend to talk mostly about abstract things and the rest of the world being mostly sp's and sj's do not.

Thanks - I am going to check some of these out. I hung out with an ESTP buddy last night, who's 10 years older than I am, and am always amazed at his effortless mastery of social situations. Its just not as natural to me, and I envy his sheer superior skill.
Yes and Yes!!!
You sure you guys aren't INFJs? The idea of a lonely ENTJ is ridiculous in my mind. With ESTPs, they're supposed to be the most "popular/cool" type. If you guys are just too bossy and alienate people that way, that doesn't really count, because it's an easy thing to fix. Just close your mouth.
Where exactly does it say they're supposed to be the popular/cool type?
Some ENTJs are just to intellectual for most people to handle. Like all NTs we also tend to hate small talk. This makes it a little tough to connect with people.
I know I find a lot of people just plain boring and it's more fun to be alone then to listen to boring people talk about things with no meaning whatsoever.

The following I found somewhere, maybe on this site but it does a very good job explaining why ENTJ's do not fit in at times socially.
Since F is last we many times hurt peoples feeling or offend them unintentionally.
Closing the mouth is "a" temporary solution but it does nothing to help an "E" fit in
I about died laughing at this one
I'm not socially alienated in the global sense of alienation being a
character trait. Interaction always has the potential for fun.
But I can be alienated, given the right circumstances. For instance, if I go
to a party, sometimes it may have a lot of duds. People talking about pop
music stars, celebrity gossip, athletics, weather events, video games,
sitcoms, sales at retail stores, traffic, how is work going (there is a
reason it is called work instead of "happy playtime") – all nauseating
things I know very little about, and am not curious to learn more. At that
point I head for the food and beverages.
I do like talking about technology, politics, random events that disrupt our
routines, strange stories, weird random people causing trouble and mischief,
philosophy, hypotheticals-- (my ENTP sister is always asking people: how
much could someone pay you to do x?, which can fill hours of time, believe
it or not), plans for the future-- are people reading any interesting books,
any vacation plans; counterfactuals-- how would history have turned out, if
this event happened instead of this event; what is the most embarrassing
thing you did in college, is Darth Vader beautiful, what is your most
favorite group of conspiracy theory mutants – conservation could be so much
more fun.
But nope. Sometimes I get disappointed and hear, "Wow, it really is cold
outside." (No shit, it is winter in Chicago.) "Did you hear that Britney
Murphy died?" (Who is that and why do I care?) "I bought so-and-so a gift
from Target, and got a really good deal." (Kill me now. Where is the damn
alcohol?) Then I'll remark how my 1995 Mitsubishi Mirage is banged up
because it transforms and fights Decepticons when I'm not looking, and get a
bunch of blank, confused looks. But my car is not at fault, because
concerning any moral action, we must ask ourselves: what would Optimus Prime
If you can comprehend why this thing is funny as hell then you are on the verge of understaning
The troubel of ENTJ's fitting in socially at times
I know; I'm late to the party. But I just joined because I was having one of those Canadian "tall poppy" moments and in a funk over it. It's such a relief to finally hear others saying what I'm always thinking instead of condemning me for it!
I'm sorry I find this rather tactless and offensive.
Its not about alienating people. Its about feeling alienated.
I feel alienated as in the people I meet do not think and feel the same way as I do. I have no common ground with them. I can accept that, but I just feel different.
Its not about opening that big mouth and being bossy and telling people how stupid they are.
I've never belonged. Ever. Mostly I've been okay with it. Although I am ENTJ I prefer to spend most of my time alone, in my own head. I dont really have to worry about anyone else. But there is that very small part of me…somewhere deep deep down that wonders sometimes what its like to be like everyone else. Then my good of fashion entj common sense kicks in and I know what other people are like and I continue on my marry way. The one thing however that really bothers me is the fact that ENTJ's are alienated by things that our societies are supposed to value. When were kids were told to be ourselves regardless of what anyone else thinks. Okay, Im confindent in myself. Were told to always be honest. Okay, I have NO problem telling the truth. But at the end of the day were penalized for being higher thinking individuals that happen to make good decisions, and are smart workers. Im not speaking for all ENTJ's when i say this because it can vary from person to person but i believe you should have a high sense of self and carry yourself in a way that you can be proud of and have intergrity and character. I think alot of ENTJ's possess qualities that alot of people need/want and yet were on the outskirts of social interactions. Ive always been told that im not sensitive, or that im rude, and inappropriate because I believe in honesty above all else. Im constantly the odd one out. The one who is unlike anyone else most people have ever met. Sometimes i feel like its me againist the world and everything that i do is blown out of proportion especially considering that Im only one person. Our society, well mine anyway, caters to people who are overly emotional in making decisions and highly conscious of other feelings even when they are ridiculous. I can understand how some of the things i say can offend people, and how i can come off as emotionless and cold. But while other people are busy telling me what I am and how I am not once does any of them stop and think how it would feel to always feel misunderstood. I always feel misunderstood. I can handle it but its gets defeating sometime. Like everyone else has the right to be who they are but i dont.
Wolves never mingle with the sheep.
I watched a natgeo (or was it discovery channel) programme on the idea of love, and the conclusion was that our brains are hotwired for interpreting social status and acquiring social status. (logical analysis and deduction where did that come from?) A lot of it is done with smoke and mirrors rather than real achievement in my opinion. I have increasingly no patience for people, and even less interest in stepping gingerly around what people project of themselves that they expect me to believe and uphold. They also have no idea that what they know is very superficial or that they aren't really very good at what they do, but I have to pretend that they are.
I know the normal ENTJ tendency is tell them with brutal honesty what I think of them. I totally feel like doing this! But it does not serve any purpose to do so, they will remember this slight whether done privately or publicly and will try to take you down in whichever way they can (usually in some little petty thing) which is really irritating, but not devastating. At the end of the day they will still be the same and now you have someone who dislikes you.
From a tactical point of view, it would be better to leave their pride intact. You know smile, say something neutral and move on. Managing people well pays far bigger dividends. Don't see it as catering to their feelings, but part of your strategic game plan for managing the people element of your big goal.
Since most people are about ego, you can use this to get them to do what you want. Flattery gets you everywhere. As does good manners. Find some common ground and you have a friend. If they get out of line, "what will other people think?" or "I would be so embaressed if …" works far far better than a detailed logical analysis unless they are an NT. I wish I figured out this later part far sooner it would have saved a lot of time trying be logical about things with them - it does not work it makes them feel stupid. Its about telling the truth in a way that is palatable and will be acted on. No point shouting and being seen as a douchebag. The message maybe totally logical and well thought through, but will be not be acted on. Its about getting results.
At the end of the day, I do feel terribly alienated. I feel like some mutant homo sapien.
Unfortunately I agree with pretty much everything here.
But with an interesting caveat: recently my INTP buddy pointed out that I have a tendency to 'play both sides of the chess board' in my relationships. The subject came up again in a recent conversation with an older ENTJ friend/ colleague who agreed with the analogy, said he did the same thing, but had learned something: playing both sides of the chess board is excellent in business relationships, and terrible in personal relationships.
While I agree, it can be confusing, because on one hand, it seems that nobody wants to hear the truth, especially in romantic relationships, but on the other hand, I feel like hiding the truth from them doesn't allow for any improvement either. Self esteem and pride can be so delicate with some folks that the smallest threat can be devastating to the 'aggrieved' party. Then again, how will they ever become stronger, if not by being forced to face reality? I've never been the sort to raise my voice or get agitated, but sometimes I've gotten exhausted in the cajoling and placating aspects of baby-sitting other people by deflecting the sting of reality when it reaches them. I've especially had a hard time with people who need validation from others, or me, because I believe validation should come from within, and I think its a mistake to rely on external validation to feel good about yourself.
I realize that not everybody is like that, of course. But it sure seems like a lot of people are (especially very pretty girls, for some reason ). The conclusion I have come to is that expecting adult relationships means a lonelier existence than the alternative - i.e. I prefer quality over quantity. Any thoughts?
To be honest, I've never really felt alienated- except for a period of time in my life in my early twenties. In fact, I think being alone for long periods of time can have severe detrimental effects on the ENTJ- at least I feel this way when I'm not actively connecting with ideas and the people around me.
For certain I avoid situations in which I'll be forced to listen to the incoherent rantings of people obsessed with celebrity gossip and bargain sales, but rather I like spending time with others who add dimensions and intrinsic value to my life. I also don't like situations in which I have to be one-on-one with one person for long periods of time, I prefer the multi-faceted connections of group dynamics.
Too often with introverted feelers- particularly INFJs and INFPs (as much as I adore them) I think tend to unload their problems onto others, and often INFJ/ENFJ males I found to be repulsively competitive and lacking in diplomacy and privacy in some manner to want to upstage others. I find NTs much more interesting to develop a repetoire, for it takes a long time to gain their trust where they are able to reveal the deeper facets to their personality, so that their stories are not something they blab out in the first few minutes of meeting them in some histrionic state, but rather, their careful armor gives way to an emotional intensity that wouldn't exist if they were so open about their inner states all the time to everyone.
At least, despite the fact that I probably seem to others as open, happy-go-lucky and friendly, I consider myself a very guarded individual, and I will judge people through a kind of instinct + action to immediately to see if they will ever penetrate my superficial wall of friendliness.
I do admit here that I have quite a few INFJ/ENFJ friends. But I did have to cruelly tame them at first so that they would not cross the boundaries that I'd drawn. Such is the ENTJ way, no? :mrgreen:
I hear you about the outward appearance versus the inward wall. A lot of the time I can tell whether or not to let others through, but I'm finding that I need to make an effort not to block too many people out. It's incredibly easy for me to see the flags, and block out what could potentially be a good relationship.
As far as INFJs and ENFJs, I think I have to tame myself more to not scare these people away. My deeper thoughts can be a bit rash for them.
I would love to hear more about 'play both sides of the chess board' in my relationships.'
Grow stronger? A lot of people don't seem to fix what is really wrong, but fix outward symtoms so that they appear like they have worked it out. Or just don't show that side of themselves again so that you don't pick on them again. Its all about appearances. I'm not really interested in knowing people who aren't into personal growth. I head towards the exit when I find out they do this as quietly and as politely as I can. What's the point of wasting time?
Yes I know what you mean, I repeat and repeat myself and hold their hands through all sorts of things. And I don't find that they find solutions to their problems and issues. Nothing changes or if it does it takes a very long time and by then I am completely exhausted and want to move on.
I totally agree.
What kind of women have you been meeting?? Not all attractive women are like that!! I know about the lonelier existence.
I will also add female NFs and SFs critiques of other people based on what they wear and how they carry themselves. You know "Look at those tiny shorts! Bet you that one must be a …". I really don't think its about the shorts. Wear what you like.
Sadly I too have experienced this.
I have to work on not looking sooo bored when they go on like this.

Work in Progress - Tree of Life Landscape
This is a small art quilt that will not see life as a wall hanging, but as a book cover ... I will post more on that, and final photos, once it has been presented to the organization that commissioned it. In order to make this as durable as possible, I had to reject some of the techniques and fibres that I might have liked to use in this piece. Because it will be handled (although not heavily) I felt that I should use woven fabric and stitching to achieve the look I wanted. The fabric is all hand-dyed or hand-painted ... some of it by me, some by others.
There is still more work to be done on it, but I am pleased with how it is developing.

Chris Candito died Thursday at the age of 33.
Had I written this two years ago, this news wouldn't have been that surprising. Candito had his demons, and struggled with them as many other professional wrestlers do. The problems he went through with his girlfriend/wife/whatever Tammy Sytch were known my many "smart" wrestling fans. Candito could have easily down that route and had his life end as so many other professional wrestlers have. Candito didn't though. He straightened himself out.
Candito, unfortunately for him, straightened himself out at a time when the industry didn't necessarily need him. He had a gig with Titan (the horrible Bodydonnas thing) and made his money that way, but he wasn't in it for the money – I can honestly believe that. The money was nice, but Candito seemed to really enjoy wrestling. He went back to ECW and he wrestled his ass off on numerous occasions, then eventually made his way over to the slowly dying WCW, where he could have been a real asset, had WCW not been run by complete morons.
He ended up coming back to TNA most recently, clean and willing to work. He broke his leg on Sunday at TNA's PPV, working a tag match. The injury was a fluke – Sonny Sakai threw a dropkick and apparently landed wrong on Candito, breaking his leg. Candito ended up having pins placed in on Tuesday. He was dead Thursday, the result (apparently) of a blot clot due to his surgery. A completely healthy athlete, finally free of drugs, fallen by a complete fluke of an injury. Sometimes life really isn't fair.
You could tell Candito loved wrestling. Small guys always get into wrestling for the love of it (unless they're part of a wrestling family). Big guys are often former football players or just genetic freaks who get into wrestling because it's an easy way for them to make money. Small guys don't get any breaks unless they have a look, can cut a promo, and can work their ass off. Candito could do that.
Candito was involved in one of my all time "mark out" moments as a wrestling fan. I made it a habit to go to the ECW Arena for at least a few shows a year, and always the Cyberslam shows. 1999 promised to be a good show, but then again, any ECW Arena show promised to be a good show.
Midway through the card, Taz (then ECW Champ) came out talking about how great he was, how he could take out any of the boys in the back, how he'd beaten everyone in the company, etc. The beauty of Heyman as a booker was that when he got someone to make an appearance or work for the company, it generally didn't get out, so there was actual surprise. In contrast, someone like Jericho coming to WWF was known months in advance.
Anyway, Taz cut his promo and finished it, standing in the ring. A couple of seconds later, AC/DC's "Back In Black" pumped through the PA and I heard one of the best pops I heard at the Arena. Everyone pretty much knew about Candito and Tammy's problems, and they kind of disappeared for a little while, but when the two came out, they looked great. Tammy looked incredible (and half-naked), which looking back is pretty sad, as it's the last time I saw her as "attractive". Candito was pumped up (in more ways than one) and the two had a great match, going into the crowd (something that ECW tried to play down more recently due to various lawsuits).
The crowd thing led to the markout. When we'd hit ECW Arena events, we'd leave from Queens as a group, and we'd get pretty good seats, generally in the bleachers on the "TV side", so that there was a slim possibility that we'd get on TV. I was in the upper left-hand corner (TV-wise) so that you could barely see me – you might see my knees.
Anyway, Taz and Candito started brawling into the crowd, and when you're in an ECW crowd, you generally move a little bit and let the two midgets fight (neither Candito or Taz was a legit 5'7″). They kept going further into the crowd and going up the bleachers, until they couldn't go any further – because Candito had pinned me against the wall. Taz and Candito were brawling and going backward until they stopped and were brawling inches away from me – camera right there. For several seconds on ECW TV, I'm standing there like a mark kind of looking at the two of them brawling, trying to get a picture.
It was just a cool experience, and I always figured if I met Candito, I'd tell him about that day. I'll never get that opportunity.
Dave Meltzer (he of the Wrestling Observer) had some good words. I'll leave today's post with him.
There are times when famous wrestlers pass away and everyone starts talking about what wonderful people they were, and sometimes, you almost have to bite your tongue. This is not one of those times.
Through thick and thin, through the bad times, and they were many, I don't think you'll find anyone arguing whether Chris Candido was a really nice guy. He made a comeback at a time when everyone in the industry had given up on him. He was recently brought into TNA just as a test to put people over, and wound up winning a roster spot and was liked by everyone. If the circumstances of his death that are stated are accurate, it is one of the greatest tragedies of all. Practically everyone in wrestling who was at death's door at one point in their lives will say or have their friends say that are reformed. As history has shown, the vast majority of the times, it isn't true. What a lot of people don't understand, is for the minority who it turns out to be true about, it is a daily battle, as some, like William Regal and Eddie Guerrero will openly talk about.
Chris loved pro wrestling, even though it came close to killing him at one point in his life. It was more living out his childhood dream than making money. I think he enjoyed it every bit as much when he was barely making ends meet than when he was under a six-figure contract. He was on the road right out of high school. He had a bright future. He squandered that future. But he was determined the end the story of his wrestling career on a high note and with respect of the people in the profession that he had at times let down. He was on the road to doing all that.
What happened is one of those things that happen in life. There is no rhyme nor reason. Life isn't fair. You can question all you want about a guy who fought back from something that most never come back from, but then suffered a fluke broken leg, and suddenly, with no warning, this happened. Chris was very excited about his future in wrestling, particularly because he was starting to escape from the shadow of his past. The 6/10 and potentially 6/12 (if he was to be allowed to participate) were huge deals for him, and whether he would be able to wrestle or not, he was excited to be part of them.
Candido's last pro wrestling appearance will air today on the TNA Impact show. I'm told they will do a tribute graphic for him on the show, I believe at both the beginning and the end of the show. Before the show started, Candido came up with his own angle, because in a cruel twist of irony, he had been in a wheelchair at a ruse for the last few weeks on television. Candido came up with the storyline that his real broken leg on Sunday was his karma for the ruse, which led to the tag team title change and what was told to me was the best Impact match in a long time. There was debate whether the match should air at all. Shane Douglas who was his best friend in the company, felt 100% certain Candido would have wanted it to air. So that was the decision.
No death of a people you know at a young age isn't sad in some form, whether you know them personally, or followed their lives simply watching them work from a young age. Many people followed Chris from when he was a very young man, and some since he was just a teenager But for many reasons, this one is harder than most. It's not just because it doesn't appear to have been self-inflicted, but because this was the phone call for years that many people feared we could get at any time. And just when we thought we knew it would never come, it came.

i used priceline to book 2 night s in pa near hershey .i checked in to the rooms and there was bugs crawling all over the hotel never gave us my refund priceline never reimbursed my money im out 500.00 thank you priceline when i went to the lobby to complain .the front desk attendant told me to bring back the keys by the time i came back to the lobby the office was closed .priceline said they tried to accomadate me and stood by the hotel .my credit card fought with priceline but to no avail .i guess buyer beware
This is the problem with booking a ticket with Priceline, Orbitz, Expedia, etc.----you pay these companies and then when you have a problem, you have already paid and are basically stuck. Their customer service is atrocious and only works to your disadvantage.
You are always best to book hotels, airlines, etc. direct with the provider---not an intermediary like Priceline.

Sainsburys Bank 2-year fixed rate mortgage 1.39%, up to 80% LTV + up to £400 cashback on groceries over two years
- If so, this deal from Sainsburys is pretty good:
- Two-year fixed rate at 1.39%, fee £745.
- Free valuation for all borrowers, free legals for remortgage customers only.
- This deal allows overpayments of up to 10% of the outstanding balance.
Moneyfacts describes the deal as "highly competitive" and says it's in the top five deals in its sector.
As always, you need to compare the true cost of a mortgage by adding together all the monthly payments in the fixed period (so 24 in this case) and adding the fee, then comparing it to other mortgages with the same length fix.
Shopping reward
Mortgage customers who apply by 26 February 2018 can also benefit from this Nectar deal:
Earn 5% of your grocery bill back with reward vouchers to spend in Sainsbury's stores when you use your Nectar card at Sainsbury's stores and online.
Minimum and maximum amounts apply as follows:
The maximum reward you can earn in each 3-month period is £50, even if 5% of your spend amounts to more than this. To get £50 a quarter you need to spend £1,000 a quarter or about £333 each month in Sainsburys – easily doable for a couple or family. You need to earn at least £5 of vouchers to be sent any vouchers in that quarter – that amounts to a £100 spend per quarter. Amounts aren't carried over to the next quarter.
The deal excludes anything you spend in a Sainsbury's petrol station and anything you don't earn Nectar points on.
Vouchers will be sent to you four times a year – these can be spent in Sainsbury's stores but not online.

General Questions
Zebra's corporate headquarters and main warehouse are located in Brooklyn Park, MN near Minneapolis.
Why do Zebra mats cost more than other manufacturers?
When it comes to materials, manufacturing and safety, Zebra strives to set the bar at the highest level possible. We go the extra mile to ensure that everything we design, produce and install performs and lasts beyond expectations.
If the up-front cost doesn't fit into your budget, ask our sales team about other product options or financing your purchase.
To learn more about all the ways Zebra adds value to its customers, check out our Why Zebra page.
To learn more about all the ways Zebra adds value to its customers, check out our Why Zebra page.
What makes Zebra the best training facility outfitter?
Learn about how Zebra can provide value to your training facility on our Why Zebra page.
How do I find a gym with Zebra products near me?
Our sales representatives can provide you with a list of gyms with Zebra products in your area. Call us at 1-800-989-8085.
Are Zebra mats safer than roll-out mats?
Yes. Roll-out mats use closed-cell foam where the energy being absorbed on impact is returned to the athlete, resulting in greater potential of injury due to shock to the body. Traditional Zebra mats are designed with open-cell foam where the impact is absorbed and dispersed through the foam core, allowing energy to escape. This allows for a lighter impact on the body and a significant reduction in injuries.
Tatami is a type of mat used as a flooring material in traditional Japanese-style rooms. In martial arts, tatami is most commonly seen as a textured surface, known to increase stability and grip underfoot. Most traditional martial arts utilize a tatami-textured mat in their facilities/dojos.
Why does the cost of freight seem high?
There are 3 primary reasons that freight costs may appear high:
- Designed first and foremost to provide the optimum training experience, our products from mats, to bag racks, to cage panels are all custom sized pieces that do not fit on standard 48"x40" pallets, and therefore carriers charge a premium to transport them.
- The majority of our customers are small businesses with no receiving department or shipping dock. Carriers charge extra to deliver to residential addresses, malls, strip malls, and to use lift gates and set appointments. These are valuable services that small business owners need and we try to make every effort to provide them if requested.
- State and Federal regulators have put pressure on the transportation industry by limiting work hours, requiring expensive equipment upgrades, and mandating certain fuel and carbon limitations. These recent changes have required the carriers to purchase new equipment, hire more drivers, and make expensive upgrades. Unfortunately, consumers, including Zebra and our valued customers, ultimately pay for these things through our negotiated service rates.
Do Zebra mats expand and contract with heat?
That depends on the type of mat and the type of foam. Closed-cell foams found in our puzzle mats and roll-out mats are subject to expansion and contraction. Open-cell foams found in our MMA mats, grappling mats, and yoga tiles are not subject to expansion and contraction.
Do Zebra mats have any latex in them?
The training surface of our mats does not have latex; however the anti-skid backing on the bottoms of the mats does contain latex. Once the mats are laid down in the proper method, your students should not be exposed to any latex.
Can my logo be printed on Zebra Mats?
Yes, we print logos on Zebra Mats as well as many of our other products. Contact our sales team to learn about how Zebra can help you personalize your space.
What type of file do I need to provide to have my logo placed on Zebra products?
We require a vector file for printing items onto our product. This enables us to scale the logo up large enough to stand out in your facility without it getting distorted. Vector files are most often created in Adobe Illustrator (.ai) or Encapsulated Postscript (.eps) format and should be available from whoever created your logo.
How long does it take to add custom printing to my Zebra products?
From a manufacturing perspective, adding custom prints to your product can add anywhere from 1-7 business days to the manufacturing cycle time. However, the most common delay caused by custom printing is due to inadequate customer logo files, so to ensure the shortest turnaround time, have a vector version of your logo ready just the way you want it printed when you are ready to order.
Are Zebra mats made of recycled materials?
Yes, the foam inside our Zebra Mats (Combo, Grappling and MMA mats), as well as our yoga tiles is made from recycled materials.
Do you make custom size Zebra mats?
Not at this time, but you can cut them yourself using our Zebra Mat Cutting Instructions.

Used Mats
What are Zebra Tournament Mats?
We sponsor various events throughout the country, which rely on Zebra's mats for a safe, durable, competition-specific surface. These mats are occasionally available for sale after the event and can be readied for pickup from the event or delivery to your location.
BONUS! Tournament mats come with the same 10-year warranty as NEW stock, yet are offered at a discount. This is great way to outfit your facility with Zebra, while saving on the costs of the mats, and in most cases, freight as well.
What is the condition of Zebra Tournament Mats?
Condition varies, based on the type of event and style of mat. The mats used at these event(s) typically show about the same amount of wear as mats that are 1 month old, in a normal facility. These mats should not have any cuts, rips, tears, or cracks and should not show any excessive wear and tear. In some cases there may be some light soil or rub-like marks due to movement and transport, however this in no-way affects the integrity of the mat and is purely aesthetic. In most cases, the majority of these marks can be removed using Zebra Mat Cleaner.
What mats are used by the IBJJF?
The IBJJF uses Zebra's 1.5" MMA mats or 1.5" grappling mats at events in the USA. Occasionally these mats are for sale after the tournaments. Ask your Zebra sales representative for more information.
What mats are used by the ATA?
The ATA uses Zebra's 1.5" grappling mats and 1" combo mats at events in the USA. Occasionally these mats are for sale after the tournaments. Ask your sales representative for more information.
How do I layout my Zebra mats?
Whether you are trying to match competition standards, or make a space that is uniquely yours, the Zebra Sales and Support teams will be glad to help you determine the best layout to meet your needs. Contact us at 800-989-8085 and we can provide you with a layout specific to your room.
Do I need to glue my Zebra Mats to the floor?
No. The mats are designed with an anti-slip material on the bottom side that contributes to stability and helps prevent the mats from shifting when placed directly onto a smooth and clean hard surface such as concrete or hardwood flooring. We recommend purchasing our Zebra Frame Kit to keep your mats in place and/or placing the mats wall to wall to prevent them from moving.
How do I cut my Zebra Mats to fit?
Cutting your mats to fit your facility is a simple procedure. Refer to our mat cutting instructions for help.
Will you precut Zebra Mats for my facility?
We do not precut Zebra Mats. There are too many variable items in a facility that would affect the size of the mat. However, we do offer mat cutting instructions so you can easily cut the mates to fit your facility.
Do you offer installation services?
Yes, we do. Please contact your Zebra sales consultant with any related questions and we will happily discuss your needs and provide you with an installation estimate.
Do you offer measuring services?
Yes, we do. Please contact your sales consultant with any related questions and we will happily discuss your needs and provide you with a measuring estimate.
I have gaps in my mats, what do I do?
If you see a gap in your Zebra floor, try adjusting the positioning of your mats by swapping out mats in different areas of your floor. The mats can also be manipulated together by tapping them into place using a mallet and a piece of wood.
I have carpeting on my floor and I cannot remove it, what do I do?
See the Carpet Instructions section of our Zebra Mat Installation Guide
Why don't you include wall and floor mounting hardware with racks?
Each building and wall is different. Since we do not know the material properties of your particular building, it is best to inspect your wall and get the advice of a professional when determining what type of wall and floor hardware to use.
Can I mount my Zebra racks into concrete block, poured cement, wood, steel studs?
For all install questions, please contact our Customer Support department at email@example.com or 763-255-1590. They can provide you with rack weights, but these must be checked with your building manager and construction professional to determine if your particular wall will support the weight of our racking.
I'm having a hard time setting up my Zebra cage, boxing ring, etc. Can you provide any guidance?
Certainly! Please contact our Customer Support department for assistance at email@example.com or 763-255-1590. Please keep in mind it is best to send a few pictures so we can get a visual on the situation to help you most efficiently.
My Zebra wall pads don't fit, can I modify them?
Yes. Remove staples from the back of the pad. Measure the cuts to be made and mark onto the pad. Use a circular saw or jig saw to make cuts. Re-wrap the vinyl and staple the vinyl back together.
What type of wall best supports a Zebra wall mounted bag rack?
A concrete poured wall is the best with the proper anchors. Other wall types will work as long as they are properly reinforced and the correct hardware is used.
What type of wood do I need for a Zebra cage floor?
The thickness of the wood needed is 1 ½". You can either use 2 layers of plywood or OSB that is ¾" thick or dimensional lumber which is 1 ½" thick. Dimensional lumber has a tendency to warp unless each board is fastened to the frame. So, plywood is recommended. If you did not receive a cut sheet with your order, please contact our Customer Support department at firstname.lastname@example.com or 763-255-1590 and they will give you one.
Is the Zebra cage panel coated with anything?
Yes, the chain links in the panels are coated with black vinyl.
Top of Page
Mat Care
What's the best way to carry my Zebra mats when moving them?
When handling your mats, the proper technique is to carry the mats vertically to eliminate any excessive bending.
We're glad you asked. Clean mats are very important for maximum safety and performance. Please refer to our mat cleaning instructions:
Can I use bleach to disinfect my Zebra mats?
Zebra does not recommend using bleach on your mats as it can destroy the vinyl on the mats and can void your product warranty. We recommend disinfecting your mats with Zebra Enviro-Care Neutral Disinfectant cleaner.
How do I repair a tear or cut in my Zebra mats?
You can find a vinyl repair kit at most hardware stores or online marketplaces. These are a clear epoxy designed to seal vinyl products. Follow the directions on the packaging.

What are Zebra's payment options?
Zebra will accept deposits to start manufacturing or to reserve inventory, but payment in full is required before your product will ship. We accept cash, credit cards, checks, PayPal, and wire transfers. Financing is also available. Click here to learn more about financing options.
Can we set up payment terms with Zebra?
We only offer payment terms for most military, law enforcement, and government organizations.
What is the Zebra delivery process?
Once your order has been placed and processed, you will receive an order confirmation email from our customer support team informing you of the expected ship date.
Once the order has shipped, you will receive a second email containing the order tracking information.
RECORD who you talk with when the freight company calls to set up the delivery appointment.
CONFIRM your delivery time with the freight company on the morning of your scheduled delivery.
REMOVE your product from the truck. The driver is not responsible for unloading your product. If you have purchased a lift gate, the driver will lower the product to ground level. Make sure to have a sufficient amount of people there to assist with unloading.
INSPECT your order for damage and/or missing items before you sign the freight delivery receipt. In the event of missing items or if damage occurred during the shipping process, it is critical you record any damage or missing items on the freight delivery receipt before signing. If you do not sign for the product as damage, Zebra cannot help you replace the product.
How long does it take to get Zebra mats?
In-stock Zebra mat orders ship within 48 hours of payment. Transit time depends on your location, but averages 3-4 business days, and may take up to 6 business days.
WE RECOMMEND that you call us a few weeks in advance to reserve your mats and ensure we can deliver when you need them. Ask your Zebra sales representative about expedited shipping options if the transit times mentioned above do not meet your needs.
How long does it take to get steel items?
We do not stock our steel products. Manufacturing time is approximately 3-4 weeks. Shipping is approximately 1 week. When ordering steel it is best to call us a couple months before you need the items to ensure we can deliver your items when you need them.
Do you offer custom sized steel equipment?
Yes we do! However, all custom products require new manufacturing drawings and as a result, almost always increase lead times. Contact your Zebra sales representative to find out if customization is a good solution for your facility.
You certainly can. Ask your Zebra sales representative for more details if you are interested in this option.
Can I pick up items at your facility?
Sure. We love visitors. We will contact you when your products are available for pick up.
Top of Page
Contact the Zebra Customer Support department at 763-255-1590 or email@example.com and they will email you a signed W-9 form. Please have your account number or quote number available when contacting us.
How do I get a copy of my invoice?
Contact the Zebra Customer Support department at 763-255-1590 or email@example.com and they will email you a copy of your invoice.
How do I find out about fire ratings for Zebra products?
Zebra has fire rating documentation for Zebra Mats and Wall Padding upon request. Please contact the Zebra Customer Support team at 763-255-1590 or email@example.com and we will help you get the specific information you require.
My facility was flooded. What do I do now?
Sorry to hear that! Contact the Zebra Customer Support department at 763-255-1590 or firstname.lastname@example.com and we can help you assess the damage of your mats. If the mats are unsalvageable, we can provide a letter for your insurance company explaining why it will be necessary to replace the product.
What is Zebra's return policy?
If, for any reason, you are not satisfied with any of Zebra's products, you may return product within 30 days of purchase for a refund. There is a restocking fee of 15% of the product purchase price for all products that are returned. Original shipping and handling costs are not refundable, and the customer is responsible for paying for return shipping costs. Product that has been damaged in any way is not returnable.
What is Zebra's warranty policy?
Please download the Zebra Standard Terms and Conditions for details on our warranty policy.
It is very important to inspect your shipment upon delivery to ensure there was no damage to the product during transit (such as scrapes, dings, excessive dirt, or tears). In the event that damage has occurred during the shipping process, it is critical for you to record the damage on the freight delivery receipt before signing. We will also need you to take pictures of the damage and of the freight delivery receipt showing the product was signed for as damaged. Contact the Zebra Customer Support department at 763-255-1590 or firstname.lastname@example.com and we will work with you to get replacements for any damaged items. If you do not sign for the product as damaged, Zebra cannot help you replace the product.
What do I do if I am missing an item on my order?
Upon arrival, inspect your order to ensure all items are accounted for. In the event that you are missing items, it is critical for you to record the missing items on the freight delivery receipt before signing. Contact the Zebra Customer Support department at 763-255-1590 or email@example.com and we will work with you to supply any missing items. If you do not sign for the product as missing, Zebra cannot help you replace the product.
How do I change my order after it has been placed?
Contact the Zebra Customer Support department at 763-255-1590 or firstname.lastname@example.com and we will work with you to facilitate any necessary changes. Please note that here may be additional costs or delays to your order depending on the changes.
How do I make my mat area in my facility ADA compliant?
In some instances ADA compliance requirements may be defined all the way down to the local municipality level, so contact your local authority to determine what is required to make your facility ADA compliant. Once requirements have determined, ask your Zebra sales representative about products that will help you meet your requirements.
Do I have to remove the tape before rolling up my roll out mats?
We recommend removing the tape before rolling up the mats. Otherwise the tape will ripple and there will not be a smooth surface on the mats.
How do I get the tape residue off of my mats?
A small amount of rubbing alcohol will usually do the trick.

Logically, the next question is how many of those phone calls and web inquiries actually came in? What was your conversion rate to memberships to each of these? Sad but true, 99 out of 100 gyms don't know these basic numbers.
If this sounds complicated to know, it's not. These are essential numbers gym owners need to know. The fact is, no matter how good of a teacher you are, your gym business will not get easier in the future. Whether your BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA or what ever, there are more gyms coming to your market in the future. Some will be less quality and better at marketing. Others will be different types of martial arts or fitness classes and some may offer just what your gym does.
One gym isn't going to put your gym under but think about this. As different gyms come into your market, each gym will have a small impact of some sort on your gym. Most gym owners don't realize the "bite size " chunks of members that they lose until it's a large number in retrospect after they are already hurting.
The way to bring long term stability to your gym is to treat it like a real business. Be aware of your numbers. Numbers never lie. They are the roadmap to making informed decisions for growing your business. Just as in any combat sport or martial art, the base and fundamentals must come first. The base and fundamentals of your gym are its numbers. If you don't know how many calls and inquiries you have, you can't know your closing percentage. This makes it impossible to make a realistic projection of future sales.
FitSmart Marketing is not taking on many new clients right now but I will be glad to give your gym a free evaluation. A lot of these things you can fix yourself once you're aware of them as long as your committed.

A Survival Guide to Burnhearts' Mitten Fest 2014
Music and crafts in the dead of winter? Yes, brrr, and here's how to survive and thrive at the outdoor fest.
Bay View's beloved Burnhearts Bar took a big chance last year with its inaugural Mitten Fest, an outdoor music and craft blowout held in the dead of winter. Plenty of terrifying questions loomed: Would anyone show up? Would the bands be able to stay warm on stage? Would the highly touted "Brandy Land" be a drunken delight or a slushy bust? Happily, Burnhearts' wintertime gamble paid off. The event was a resounding success, drawing hundreds of brave Milwaukeeans willing to risk their precious appendages in order to drink outdoors and watch Call Me Lightning kick all kinds of frigid ass.
Layers, layers, layers
"Dress in layers" is a vintage bundle-up-for-school cliché for a good reason: it works. So go ahead and tuck in those flannels and pull those wool socks over your jeans. Make friends with long underwear. Feel free to rock one of those mock turtleneck dickey things. But whatever you do, don't be fooled by the bands playing onstage (The Fatty Acids, Whips, Midwest Death Rattle, Heavy Hand)—the stage is nicely heated, giving the performers a comfy shelter from the cold and the rest of us a reason to loathe said cozy performers.
Hand warmers, hand warmers, hand warmers
Once the province of blaze-orange-clad deer hunters and those who enjoy placing potentially lethal chemicals on their bare skin, hand-warming packets have become a necessity for every rank-and-file Milwaukeean slugging through this impossibly cold winter. But hey, they're dirt cheap, and they do feel good tucked inside your gloves or mittens. Oh, and they'll give you plenty of needed dexterity for browsing the Cortney Heimerl-curated craft fair. Need more insta-heat? Shove some in your boots, your hat, or, in homage to Crispin Glover in Wild At Heart, your pants.
Embrace the fire
Staying warm at Mitten Fest isn't entirely up to you. Last year Burnhearts dotted the street with flaming heating towers, perfect for warming your hands or just zoning out to the comforting flicker of the flame. Sticking close to these beacons of heat while downing another brandy or scarfing down food from Honeypie or Goodkind is essential to surviving Mitten Fest 2014. Plus, it will give you a rough approximation of what a small-town broomball tournament was like in the mid-1980s. (Kids, ask your parents. Transplants, ask a native.)
Embrace a stranger
Body Heat isn't just a steamy 1981 thriller starring a young William Hurt and Kathleen Turner—it's nature's way of bringing together strangers who may or may not be attending an outdoor Milwaukee block party in February. Cozying up to your fellow show-goers may be frowned upon during the sweatier months—no one wants to bump into a sunburnt dude wearing a tank top at Summerfest—but it's a simple survival tactic at Mitten Fest. Or at least that's what we've heard. So go ahead and hug whomever you find yourself standing next to at any given time. If they don't press charges, you'll be good to go.

Hello Marko,
You want to know how to add an image of an RSS feed? You first need to get an image ( just search on Google for "free rss feed buttons" ), and after that you have to upload it to a free image hosting site (such as Photobucket.com) and then you'll need a software which will help you create the HTML code for the image. I have the software and I can send it to you, if you wish.
If you want to add pages to your blog, you need to get a new template or ask someone who creates this kind of templates, how to insert pages in your blog's template, as I'm not that good at HTML codes.
Well, I've answered to your both questions in the email you've sent me before. But if you want to say it again, here it is:
1. You can disclose your age, if you wish to do it. It's up to you
2. You don't have to pay any taxes for receiving your check.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sept. 8, 2015) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CUU)(OTC PINK:CPFXF) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Copper Inc. ("Desert Fox") are pleased to announce the results of the deep penetrating Quantec Titan-24 DCIP ("IP") survey on the Sombrero Butte copper project located in the Bunker Hill Mining District, Arizona. The Titan-24 DCIP survey is a "state of the art" geophysical exploration technique used to explore for chargeability and resistivity signatures that are commonly associated with porphyry copper deposits.
The objective of the IP survey was to determine if chargeability and/or resistivity signatures, which are typically associated with porphyry copper deposits, occur below the area explored in 2013. The 2013 exploration program on the Sombrero Butte project outlined an area that measures approximately 4,000 meters ("m") (13,000 feet) long by 1,200m (4,000 feet) wide that exhibits the alteration types, copper-molybdenite veining, geochemical signatures and a number of mineralized breccia pipes (commonly associated with porphyry copper deposits in this part of Arizona), all of which suggest the presence of a porphyry copper system at depth (see News Release dated November 19, 2013). Some of the breccia pipes located within this area were previously tested by diamond drilling prior to Desert Fox's involvement in this project. This diamond drilling intersected higher grade copper mineralization over considerable widths (see News Release dated July 9, 2012) in some of the breccia pipes tested.
Highlights of the survey are:
Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, "The results of the IP survey support our interpretation of the presence of a buried porphyry copper system. The large chargeability signature exhibits a strong positive correlation with the alteration, mineralization and copper-molybdenite geochemical anomalies outlined in 2013 and with historical drill results."
IP Results
The survey includes two northwest oriented survey lines with 600m line spacing and 150m station intervals over the area defined in 2013. A total of 12.3 kilometers ("kms") were surveyed using a pole-dipole configuration for the direct current ("DC") and induced polarization ("IP") measurements. In the northwestern part of the grid, the survey lines extend from the Sombrero Butte property onto the neighboring property. This news release presents only the survey results for Sombrero Butte property.
Based on the reliability and repeatability of the DC and IP inversion results, a total of nine zones of exploration interests have been resolved in the Sombrero Butte project. Any drilling efforts based on these interpretations must incorporate other geological, geophysical and geochemical results. For instance, diamond drill hole SB-03 completed in 2007 is located between survey station points 4350 and 4425 on Line 2. This drill hole intersected two intervals of copper mineralization in breccia (from 272 to 294m that averaged 0.58% copper and from 470 to 392m that averaged 1.31% copper). The interval from 492 to 645m averaged 0.086% copper in weakly altered granodiorite and is reported to contain minor concentrations of chalcopyrite-bornite and molybdenite mineralization based on the drill core log description. This drill hole is interpreted to have intersected the outer edge of the chargeability signature commencing at survey station 4425 on Line 2.
Elmer B. Stewart, MSc. P. Geol., President and CEO of Copper Fox, is the Company's nominated non-independent Qualified Person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and has prepared the scientific and technical information disclosed in this news release.

NBC recently had a spat with Apple with the result that NBC is moving the online video sales for its TV shows from iTunes to Amazon's Unbox and in the process locking out all the Apple iPod users. This spurred CNET's Chris Soghoian to mention the unmentionable – TV Torrents: When 'piracy' is easier than legal purchase:
I guess there are a few tricks left for manufacturers pursuing the micro sized MP3 player market as evidenced by the Sansa Clip pictured above. Yes, it is matchbox sized, but it also sports a a four-line color OLED screen and an iPod-like wheel for simplified navigation. The Sansa Clip will be available in September, in black, red, blue and pink and as for the other specs:
