Re: frozen ipod mini in response to mynameisamywThe Sad iPods icon, clicking sound or folder with an exclamation mark are the toughest problems to deal with, and must do a Restore in order to fix it. However, when your iPod is showing this icon, it is probably too late for your computer to recognize the iPod.
1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
Still can't see your iPod?
Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
7. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. We've found that in many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
There are also some cases being reported that some unrecognized iPod being able to be erased with Linux, then reconnect the iPod with the original computer and do a Restore there.
8. Try to do an Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a format with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer). You may need to plug and unplug your iPod with the computer for several attempts, and switching around Format and Restore, and hope out of sudden, it will get recognized.
9. Diagnostic mode solution – which I copied from a thread of a post from thinktwice
"Then I cam across this special Diganostics Mode that you can get to by resetting and then while the Apple is showing pressing the Select and backwards keys simultaneously. It bring up and weird Diagnostic utility witha a abunch of tests. Here is what I did
- I tried the 5in1 test and got and error on Firewire.
- I did the HDD R/W and surprisingly it passed.
- I went on to the HDD scan. This supposedly tkaes acouple of minute so I waited. I think 4-5 dots appeared then nothing. The iPod started to get hot. THe disk was spinning away. After a while the battery got very low. THis test chews up the battery. So I escaped out by resetting and went to connect it to a power source.
My USB was dangling out of my computer and I was too lazy to get the Firewire AC adapter thing going so I connected expecting the whole lockup thing with iTunes. Surprise. IT was recognized immediately and has been working like a champ. So go figure.
Details on Diag mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/index.shtml
10. Let me ask you a question, if an iPod with no iPod software with it. When your connect it with a computer, what would happen?
Yeah, the computer will treat it as a fresh external hard disk, which will get force mounted, the computer will ask you to format the iPod. It does not really matter the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted iPod software on the iPod, after that the computer will recognize it.
Once it has been completed, eject your iPod, open the iPod updater and interestingly, you will able to do the Restore this time.
Base on the above, that's why I suggest Windows users who experience trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac machine or vice versa. PC computer will not recognize a Mac formatted iPod, but it will get mounted in an attempt to format your iPod.
11. Put your iPod in disk mode and plug with a computer, and have a boot of your computer using the Mac OS or XP startup disks, hope that your iPod will be seen on Mac's Disk utility and allow you to do a Erase there. Or, under the XP, you will be able to find your iPod there for you to do a Restore.
But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.
I have just read an interesting solution about the Sad iPod, it does make sense but the warranty will be waived once you open the iPod, I would not do it myself as I am not good on doing this

It will display the Apple logo for a few seconds, then revert to the main menu.
mynameisamyw Apr 29, 2006 5:51 PM
Re: frozen ipod mini in response to mynameisamywEvery time I attempt to restart it it just shows the unhappy ipod or goes back to a frozen screen of a battery thats charging (even though the ipods not plugged up to anything). My warrenty is not good anymore. Is there somewhere I could take it to get fixed or a number I could call? There is an Apple store near me. Do you think they could do anything to it? I am so confused
mynameisamyw Apr 29, 2006 6:05 PM
Re: frozen ipod mini in response to mynameisamywand just a second ago I heard this weird noise comping from my ipod. it sounded kind of like a spring. It makes that noise every time the apple or the unhappy ipod comes up on the screen.

Re: frozen ipod mini in response to mynameisamywHello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod's screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following "TRYs"
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can't see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab "Partition", click either "Delete" or "Partition", if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab "Erase" , choose Volume Format as "MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the "Security Options...." and choose "Zero Out Data" before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iPod Updater and click "Restore"
For Window computer
Go to folder "My Computer"
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose "Format". Ensure the settings are at "Default" and that "Quick Format" is not checked
Now select "Format"
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iPod Updater and click "Restore"
In case you do not manage to do a "Format" on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g."Partition Magic".
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can't find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between "Format" and "Restore"
Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don't want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can't accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod's case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery replacement (with pictures)
Have I tried this myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.
2. Do a search on Google and some topics on this discussion forum about "Sad iPod"
Strange error on iPod (probably death)
Sad Face on iPod for no apparent reason
Meeting the Sad iPod icon
I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.

Re: frozen ipod mini in response to mynameisamywThanks to everyone who helped! I took it to an Apple store today and they looked at it and said it had a bad hard drive, so I am going to just have to sell it and maybe get a nano.

STANFORD, CALIF. (AP) - Andrew Luck's uncle will serve as the agent for the former Stanford quarterback and two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up.
The Wasserman Media Group announced Tuesday that Luck is the first and only NFL-bound player to sign with the agency. The company hired Luck's uncle, Will Wilson, as executive vice president of football to represent the quarterback.
Luck is expected to be the top pick in April's NFL draft after leading Stanford to consecutive BCS bowl games and shattering almost every major school passing record. The Indianapolis Colts hold the No. 1 pick.
Wilson spent the past four years as an executive for Major League Soccer and Soccer United Marketing. He also served in executive roles with the Arena Football League, Champ Car World Series and for 13 years with NFL International, including stops as managing director of NFL Mexico and general manager of the Scottish Claymores of NFL Europe.
"We are pleased to join forces with Will to maximize Andrew's potential in the sport of football," said Mike Watts, chief operations officer of Wasserman Media Group. "Will's more than 20 years of global sports business experience with some of the most successful leagues will also further our business strategies as we continue to expand internationally."
Luck declined comment through his father, Oliver, the West Virginia athletic director and former NFL quarterback, in a text message to The Associated Press on Tuesday. Wilson also will work with Wasserman's soccer division and its management team on international business development.
"Wasserman Media Group has an industry reputation second to none and a tremendous wealth of experience in athlete representation," Wilson said in a statement. "And as the agency's first, and only NFL player, Andrew will be receiving an outstanding service as he launches his career. I am also excited to help grow the agency's global business offerings."
After a record-setting season at Stanford, Luck is taking a break from football at the moment. He is on schedule to earn his degree in architectural design from Stanford in the spring and he will enter the draft as the most sough-after prospect since Peyton Manning in 1998.
Fittingly, Luck seems headed to Indianapolis.
He won the Maxwell Award as the college football player of the year and the Walter Camp Football Foundation Player of the Year. Despite so many pro scouts salivating over his potential, a three-turnover performance in a home loss to Oregon likely cost Luck the Heisman for the second straight season.
He finished as runner-up to Baylor's Robert Griffin III this season and to Auburn's Cam Newton a year earlier. While Griffin took home the bronze statue, Luck should take home the big bucks.
Luck leaves Stanford as the school's leader in touchdown passes (82), completion percentage (.670), passing efficiency (162.8) and total offense (10,411) _ among other marks _ despite playing only three seasons. A year after rolling past Virginia Tech 40-12 in the Orange Bowl, Luck didn't quite have the finish he had hoped. Stanford lost 41-38 in overtime to Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl.
Stanford was ranked seventh in the final AP poll.

iOS App of the Week: Calendars 5
updated 12:49 pm EDT, Fri September 13, 2013
Calendars 5 offers advanced scheduling features
Releasing an app that duplicates features offered by default in iOS is never an easy task -- trying to then sell that app at a premium cost is an even greater challenge. Readdle, which has become well known for its productivity apps, has offered a free calendar app since early September but now is looking to move forward with the release of Calendars 5. Offering a brand new interface, iPad support, natural language event creation, and complete tasks integration, Calendars 5 is a strong contender in the calendar market, the question is if it can live up to its $7 price tag.
As with its predecessor, Calendars 5 includes the ability to sync with Google accounts. This includes syncing calendars, tasks, e-mail addresses, and a user's Google+ identity. However, Calendars 5 now goes beyond this by also including the ability to sync with the local iOS calendar as well as with Apple's Reminders app. Initial event synchronization is quick and painless, while continual background syncs ensure that data remains consists across all of a user's calendars. Moreover, the app also works offline, offering full event creation and editing abilities, and automatically syncing any changes when an Internet connection becomes available.
Event creation is a simple process, but includes several features not found in the default Calendar app. Events can be entered by using natural language such as, "Meet Jon at 2pm," with additional support for specifying a location, adding notes, and choosing contacts to invite. Recurring events can also be set with the standard daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly options, as well as by setting a custom schedule. This could include, "every 2 months on weekdays," "every month by the last day," et cetera. Add full integration with Google Tasks and iOS Reminders to this and suddenly everything needed to plan out a day, week, or month is available in one location. Tasks are just as easy to enter and organize, with full support for breaking down to-dos into customized lists.
Everyone has their own methods for staying organized so inevitably $7 will be more than some are willing to pay. However, those looking for a powerful and complete scheduling tool should be more than satisfied with Readdle's offering. Calendars 5 is dead simple to use, while still filled with a number of advanced features that help it stand out among a flooded market of calendar apps. If the $7 entry fee is too much, customers can currently take advantage of the app's launch promotion which has lowered the price to $5. An official end date for the promo has not been announced, but the price is expected to rise to its full value by the end of the weekend.

The weather in Ottawa is colder than normal this week, but Parliament Hill is certainly helping locals with their heating bills by generating all kinds of hot air – all of which may culminate in a Federal election call as early as Friday.
The Canadian minority government has been battered by a number of high-profile issues over the last few months. A committee has found the current government in Contempt – an extremely serious charge – for withholding financial information on big-ticket budget items such as their law and order agenda (where mandatory prison sentences would be increased and thousands of new prison cells built) and the purchase of new CF-18 fighter jets (which are rumored to be costing as much as three times the estimate provided by the government).
A cabinet minister is also facing a potential Contempt finding over allegations of doctoring documents and lying to Parliament. Other cabinet ministers and former ministers have faced accusations of illegal lobbying, violating election financing rules and improper use of government resources. The government even got a dousing of hot water over the aggressive branding of the current government as the "Harper Government," rather than the standard phrasing "Government of Canada."
In Canada, as in the United Kingdom, elections do not take place on set dates (despite the current Prime Minister's attempt to enact a law to do just that in 2006, which he rapidly broke himself in 2008). Rather, the government sits for a maximum of five years, unless the Prime Minister chooses to have parliament dissolved and an election called, or if the government loses a vote of Confidence.
Confidence votes can take place on any issue the government chooses to deign a confidence measure, but they automatically take place on significant measures such as a budget. Which, as luck would have it, the government released yesterday, and which has been widely panned as out-of-touch by the opposition.
All opposition parties have signaled they will oppose the budget in a vote on Thursday. In addition, Opposition leader Michael Ignatieff will be tabling a motion of non-confidence in the government based on the Contempt finding.
In other words: Election's a-coming.

thnx for this
Thanks for the post Shannon.
Pretty sorry state of affairs when their is no one to believe in this election compaign.
I am still heated that a black mark was laid on our Canadian Government with the first ever Contempt findings.
The problem is that government corruption is very much a problem for the Canadian Conservative governments, Brian Mulrooney was up to his neck with various scandals and Kim Campbell went around like a headless chicken. When the Liberals came to power they slashed public services and knocked down a brand new Hospital just after it had been built. So Canada is going into the slash and burn cycle. So expect that there is going to be a few Canadian politicians in prison soon,
Just what we need another damn election! Yes time to vote for the green party, lets make a change...can't get any worse than it already is!
Costly elections for Canada is what the elected reps wanted. Not everyone enjoy this but certainly for some of you. 4 elections in 7 years, this tell this nation (Canada) is not as nice as your might think before.
Hope this bully gets stuffed honestly. They keep on crowing about the state of the economy but they inherited the banking rules and the surpluses from the Liberals under Paul Martin. These creatures are all for the tar sands and oil in the Arctic plus they refuse the buy out the sealers in NFland. If only we had some sort of proportional representation then all our votes would count for something, as it stands even parties who do not have the most votes are able to get back in, disgusting. By the way, Westminster has changed its rules so more folk have some influence, it is no longer first past the post at all.
Accountablilty is the key. We all need to keep those elected with checks and balances. And be ever vigilant.
Bravo Don Aitken you said it best . Conservatives have a very short memory when decrying the present pending election as unnecessary, considering that Harper opportunistically triggered an unnecessary election in 2008, ignorning his own fixed election date legislation! Oh the hypocracy! If the Conservatives really did not want an election now, why have they been spending so much money on attack ads attacking Ignatieff for the past several months? They must have been really worried!
Whichever way the vote actually goes, thank history that we have a Westminster constitution and the possibility for Parliament to vote non-confidence in a government. That and Question Period (in spite of the hijinks and rudeness) are vital keystones to our democracy.
Robert O., you say that "no political party comes close to the Liberal Party of Canada for lying, tricking, cheating, and under the table dealing?" You must not be an American, because the repubs DO ALL THOSE THINGS ... AND MORE.

Graduation Day: Edison College says goodbye to its final class before a name change
Among the usual cheering from relatives and friends, smiles and flicker of camera flashes, over 1,000 students on Friday evening received the last diplomas that will be printed with the words "Edison State College," in the last graduation ceremony the institution will celebrate under the name it's had for more than 50 years.
The college will be operating as Florida SouthWestern State College (FSW) starting July 1, changing its name to avoid litigation with Thomas Edison State College in New Jersey, a school that trademarked the name.
Graduate Brian Tull, 55, said he is happy that his middle grades science education diploma will have the name of inventor of the electric bulb.
It was a sentiment echoed by his fellow graduates, who said they were excited to be the school's last class.
Dressed in black cap and gown, waiting to enter Germain Arena in Estero for the commencement, Tull said that he hated the idea of the name change at the beginning.
"It was like losing a child," said the 20-year retired army veteran who wanted to pursue his dream of becoming a teacher.
But Tull, who lives in Lehigh Acres, said he understands the change now. He thinks it shows that Fort Myers has grown and that the school is expanding to reach students from the wider area in Southwest Florida.
"Now I actually think it's a good thing", said Tull.
Georgeline Plancher, a 34 year-old Naples resident who got her associate degree in criminal justice technology, also wanted the name Edison on her diploma.
"I feel honored. I don't want to have that SouthWestern name. That name is ugly," said Plancher, who arrived in Fort Lauderdale from Haiti in 1999 and moved to Naples to attend college.
Plancher, who said she graduated one semester early while working full time at a Publix store, doesn't think that the change of name will affect the value of her degree. She already received job offers from law enforcement forces in Orlando and Tampa, although she still has to pass some tests, she said.
Teresa Morgenstern, spokeswoman for the college, said that the school wants to move ahead. The new name will serve to reflect that the school serves students in a large geographic area that includes five counties, she said.
"It was difficult for the college. We had to do this, but we embraced it as an opportunity," said Morgenstern, who indicated that the college serves about 22,000 students.
Leanna McLendon, 25, said even though she wants the Edison name of the school on her dental hygiene diploma, she thinks that the change may lead to some confusion among potential employers.
"I was worried about people looking for the school and not finding it," said McLendon, who plans to move back to Mississippi and will look for a job there.
Jessica Eastman, who graduated this year with a bachelor of science degree in elementary education, thinks it will likely work the other way around for her.
"They (employers) will probably be more familiar with Edison than with the other name", said Eastman, 22, of Fort Myers. "Even though the new name sounds more like a university, more proper".
Tiffany Jones, who served for five years in the Air Force in the United Kingdom also thought that her diploma in education will benefit from the reputation of the name Edison.
Jones left the Army, started a nursing program and then decided to become a teacher to be able to influence children's lives — like that of her 4-year-old daughter — while working in a field where she can lead instead of just following orders.
She didn't understand why they had to change the name.
"I was really upset. Edison State College is really ingrained in the community," she said. "I take great pride in being in the last class that will have the name of Edison State College in their diplomas."

In the past I have tried Pimsleur, Deutches Haus, Berlitz and feel that I have made more progress with Claudia's help than with any other. She is patient with my 82 year old mind and I feel that my progress is most satisfying. My heartiest recommendations!
Claudia has a thorough knowledge of English as well as her native German. That means she can readily relate the mechanics and nuisances of one language to the other. Claudia is very willing to think about questions regarding some intricacy of German, and come up with answers that create logical connections for native English speakers. She's very flexible about approaching the language in a variety of ways, ways that resonate with a particular student, rather than marching steadily along a "one size suits all" path. Claudia also is easy going and a pleasure to be around.
Claudia was able to quickly identify the deficits in my child's comprehension, and create lesson plans that helped him improve in those specific areas. She made the extra work fun and challenging. I recommend her highly.

This time around, the Cazenovia ice hockey team figured it would be different.
When the state Division II no. 3-ranked Lakers collided with no. 1-ranked New Hartford last Tuesday night at the Morrisville State IcePlex, it was a chance to snatch a piece of the Division II East regular-season title -- and some revenge.
Back on Jan. 14 in New Hartford, the Spartans prevailed 6-3, knocking Cazenovia out of first place and the top spot in the state rankings. The Lakers had since won seven in a row, regaining its confidence, and were ready for the rematch.
Yet after all that preparation and good play, Cazenovia again tasted defeat at New Hartford's expense -- and again, the margin was 6-3, though the sequence of events leading to that decision was a bit different than the first time.
They exchanged goals early in the first period, and it was 1-1, Cazenovia content to ride along for a while and match thrusts.
All that changed, though, when the Lakers got whistled for a delayed penalty and, with 4:02 left in the first period, Spencer Davidson scored to pull New Hartford in front 2-1.
Just 39 seconds later, the Spartans made it 3-1 when Jason Fitzgerald converted. Right after the ensuing faceoff, Mike Zalewski broke in alone and put the puck past J.R. Veccharelli and it was 4-1.
New Hartford had just scored three times in a span of 59 seconds, the kind of outburst that can prove decisive. And though Cazenovia closed the margin to 4-2 before the end of the first period, it would never get closer.
Carter Franz, Sean Dougherty and Sam Lewis put in the Lakers' goals, with Sean Cannizzaro getting two assists and Franz adding one assist. Overall, Vecchiarelli had 21 saves. For the Spartans, Clayton Whittenmore had two goals and one assist, with Tom Fiorentino picking up one goal and two assists.
Cazenovia is 18-2-1, and both losses have come to New Hartford, but it will still be home next Friday to face Solvay or Skaneateles in the first round of the Division II playoffs.

AnguarJS: Get Started is now available to Pluralsight subscribers.
This video course is a small but focused subset of my full Angular class. The course assumes you know a bit about HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but want to start from the beginning and learn about the core pieces of Angular, like how to work with controllers, services, and directives.
In the video we'll build a "GitHub Viewer" application to search GitHub users and repositories.
I hope you like it!
You can try the code in this post yourself.
Imagine we have the following movie data returned by an API call from the server.
var movies = [ { title: "Godzilla", genre:"Action", released: 2014}, { title: "Neighbors", genre: "Comedy", released: 2014}, { title: "Into The Woods", genre: "Musical", released: 2014}, . . . ];
Now, we need to display the data and allow the user to filter on genre, release year, or both. First, we'll use lodash to build a unique list of available options for these attributes, and then store the options in scope.
app.controller("mainController", function($scope, movieData) { $scope.movies = movieData.getAll(); $scope.genres = _.chain($scope.movies).pluck("genre").uniq().sortBy().value(); $scope.years = _.chain($scope.movies).pluck("released").uniq().sortBy().value(); $scope.clearFilters = function(){ $scope.selectedGenre = undefined; $scope.selectedYear = undefined; }; });
In the view we can build the filtering selects and a table using ngOptions and ngRepeat.

 <select ng-model="selectedGenre" ng-options="genre for genre in genres"></select> <select ng-model="selectedYear" ng-options="year for year in years"></select> <button ng-click="clearFilters()">Clear</button>

. . .

 {{movie.title}}	 {{movie.genre}}	 {{movie.released}}

Notice how the filter filter in Angular understands how to take an object expression and apply predicates to the specified attributes.
Explanations of the compile and link functions in an AngularJS directive don't often come with examples. Let's look at a directive named simple which appears in the following markup. You can also play along in this plunk. Open the browser's developer tools to see the logging output.

 <simple>
Inner content
 </simple>

Notice the directive appears once inside an ng-repeat and will need to render three times. The directive also contains some inner content.
What we want to focus on is how and when the various directive functions execute, as well as the arguments to the compile and linking functions.
To see what happens we'll use the following shell of a directive definition.
app.directive("simple", function(){ return { restrict: "EA", transclude:true, template:"
{{label}}

", compile: function(element, attributes){ return { pre: function(scope, element, attributes, controller, transcludeFn){ }, post: function(scope, element, attributes, controller, transcludeFn){ } } }, controller: function($scope){ } }; });
The first function to execute in the simple directive during view rendering will be the compile function. The compile function will receive the simple element as a jqLite reference, and the element contents will look like the content in the picture to the right.
Notice how Angular has already added the directive template, but has not performed any transclusion or setup the data binding.
At this point it is safe for the code inside the compile function to manipulate the element, however it is not a place where you want the code to wire up event handlers. The element passed to compile in this scenario will be an element that the framework clones three times because we are working inside an ngRepeat. It will be the clones of this element the framework places into the DOM, and these clones are not available until the linking functions start to run. The idea behind the compilation step is to allow for one time DOM manipulation before the cloning – a performance optimization.
This compile function in the sample above returns an object with the pre and post linking functions. However, many times we don't need to hook into the compilation phase, so we can have a link function instead of a compile function.
app.directive("simple", function(){ return { //... link: function(scope, element, attributes){ }, controller: function($scope, $element){ } }; });
A link function will behave like the post-link function described below.
Since the ngRepeat requires three copies of simple, we will now execute the following functions once for each instance. The order is controller, pre, then post.
The first function to execute for each instance is the controller function. It is here where the code can initialize a scope object as any good controller function will do.
Note the controller can also take an $element argument and receive a reference to the simple element clone that will appear in the DOM.
The element will look just like the element in the previous picture because the framework hasn't performed the transclusion or setup data binding, but it is the element that will live in the DOM, unlike the element reference in compile.
However, we try to keep controllers from referencing elements directly. You generally want to limit direct element interaction to the post link function.
By the time we reach the pre-link function (the function attached to the pre property of the object returned from compile), we'll have both a scope initialized by the controller function, and a reference to a real element that will appear in the DOM.
However, we still don't have transcluded content and the template isn't linked to the scope because the bindings aren't setup.
The pre link function is only useful in a couple special scenarios, which is why you can return a function from compile instead of an object and the function will be considered by the framework as the post link function.
Post link is the last function to execute. Now the transclusion is complete, the template is linked to a scope, and the view will update with data bound values after the next digest cycle .
In post-link it is safe to manipulate the DOM, attach event handlers, inspect child elements, and setup observations on attributes and watches on the scope.
Directives have many mysterious features when you first come across them, but with some time and experiments like these you can at least figure out the working pieces. As always, the harder part is knowing how to apply this knowledge to the real components you need to build. More on that in the future.
One common question I've gotten about AngularJS revolves around the debugging of binding expressions like {{ message }}. How does one track down expressions that aren't working?
There are two approaches I can recommend. One approach is a tool, the other approach is a service decorator.
Batarang is a fairly well known Chrome extension. Once loaded, the extension can show you the contents of scope objects, as well as profiling and performance information.
For some problems Batarang requires too many mouse clicks, that's when I like to use a simple service decorator.
In Angular, the $interpolate service is responsible for working with binding expression. The service returns a function you can invoke against a scope object to produce an interpolated string. The function is known as an interpolation function.
As an example, the following code will log "HELLO!" to the console.
app.run(function($interpolate){ var fn = $interpolate("{{message | uppercase}}"); var result = fn({message:"Hello!"}); console.log(result); });
The interpolation function is forgiving. For most scenarios the forgiveness is good, because we can write binding expressions in a template without worrying about null or undefined values.
As an example, the following code does not throw an exception or give any indication of an error even though message is misspelled as massage in the binding expression.
app.run(function($interpolate){ var fn = $interpolate("{{massage.length}}"); var result = fn({message:"Hello!"}); console.log(result); });
Instead of an error, the interpolation function yields an empty string. These are the types of cases we might want to know about. Unfortunately, the functions interpreting and executing the binding expressions are hidden and have many special case branches. However, we can decorate the $interpolate service and wrap the interpolation functions it produces.
app.config(function($provide){ $provide.decorator("$interpolate", function($delegate){ var interpolateWrap = function(){ var interpolationFn = $delegate.apply(this, arguments); if(interpolationFn) { return interpolationFnWrap(interpolationFn, arguments); } }; var interpolationFnWrap = function(interpolationFn, interpolationArgs){ return function(){ var result = interpolationFn.apply(this, arguments); var log = result ? console.log : console.warn; log.call(console, "interpolation of " + interpolationArgs[0].trim(), ":", result.trim()); return result; }; }; angular.extend(interpolateWrap, $delegate); return interpolateWrap; }); });
The wrapping function will log every execution that produces a string and warn about every interpolation that produces a false looking empty string (which is what happens if there is a type or undefined member on scope).
Now let's see what happens with the following markup in a template. Note that foobar is not a property on scope and represents a bad binding expression we want to catch.
{{ message }} {{1 + 2}} {{getMessage() | uppercase}} {{foobar}}
 {{i * 2}}

The output in the developer tools looks like the following.
Now we can see all the interpolation activity on a page, and the activity producing empty strings will stand out. You probably don't want to ship with an active decorator like the one in this post, but it can make some debugging chores quick and easy.
In a previous post about testing I mentioned that route resolves can make authoring unit tests for a controller easier. Resolves can also help the user experience.
A resolve is a property you can attach to a route in both ngRoute and the more robust UI router. A resolve contains one or more promises that must resolve successfully before the route will change. This means you can wait for data to become available before showing a view, and simplify the initialization of the model inside a controller because the initial data is given to the controller instead of the controller needing to go out and fetch the data.
As an example, let's use the following simple service which uses $q to simulate the async work required to fetch some data.
app.factory("messageService", function($q){ return { getMessage: function(){ return $q.when("Hello World!"); } }; });
And now the routing configuration that will use the service in a resolve.
$routeProvider .when("/news", { templateUrl: "newsView.html", controller: "newsController", resolve: { message: function(messageService){ return messageService.getMessage(); } } })
Resolve is a property on the routing configuration, and each property on resolve can be an injectable function (meaning it can ask for service dependencies). The function should return a promise.
When the promise completes successfully, the resolve property (message in this scenario) is available to inject into a controller function. In other words, all a controller needs to do to grab data gathered during resolve is to ask for the data using the same name as the resolve property (message).
app.controller("newsController", function (message) { $scope.message = message; });
You can work with multiple resolve properties. As an example, let's introduce a 2nd service. Unlike the messageService, this service is a little bit slow.
app.factory("greetingService", function($q, $timeout){ return { getGreeting: function(){ var deferred = $q.defer(); $timeout(function(){ deferred.resolve("Allo!"); },2000); return deferred.promise; } } });
Now the resolve in the routing configuration has two promise producing functions.
.when("/news", { templateUrl: "newsView.html", controller: "newsController", resolve: { message: function(messageService){ return messageService.getMessage(); }, greeting: function(greetingService){ return greetingService.getGreeting(); } } })
And the associated controller can ask for both message and greeting.
app.controller("newsController", function ($scope, message, greeting) { $scope.message = message; $scope.greeting = greeting; });
Although there are benefits to moving code out of a controller, there are also drawbacks to having code inside the route definitions. For controllers that require a complicated setup I like to use a small service dedicated to providing resolve features for a controller. The service relies heavily on promise composition and might look like the following.
app.factory("newsControllerInitialData", function(messageService, greetingService, $q) { return function() { var message = messageService.getMessage(); var greeting = greetingService.getGreeting(); return $q.all([message, greeting]).then(function(results){ return { message: results[0], greeting: results[1] }; }); } });
Not only is the code inside a service easier to test than the code inside a route definition, but the route definitions are also easier to read.
.when("/news", { templateUrl: "newsView.html", controller: "newsController", resolve: { initialData: function(newsControllerInitialData){ return newsControllerInitialData(); } } })
And the controller is also easy.
app.controller("newsController", function ($scope, initialData) { $scope.message = initialData.message; $scope.greeting = initialData.greeting; });
One of the keys to all of this working is $q.all, which is a beautiful way to compose promises and run requests in parallel.
There are a few aspects of unit testing AngularJS controllers that have made me uncomfortable over time. In this post I'll describe some of these issues and what I've been trying on my current project to put the code in an acceptable state, as well as some general tips I've found useful.
One approach to testing a controller with Jasmine is to use the module and inject helpers in a beforeEach block to create the dependencies for a controller. Most controllers will need multiple beforeEach blocks to setup the environment for different testing scenarios (there is the happy day scenario, the failing network scenario, the bad input scenario, etc). If you follow the pattern found in demo projects you'll start to see too much code duplication in these setup blocks.
I'm comfortable with some amount of duplication inside of tests, as are others, however, the constant use of inject to bring in dependencies that 80% of the tests need becomes a noisy tax.
What I've been doing recently is using a single inject call per spec file in an opening beforeEach block. This block manually hoists all dependencies into the scope for other tests, and also runs $http backend verifications after each test, even if they aren't needed in every test.
var $rootScope, $controller, $q, $httpBackend, appConfig, scope; beforeEach(inject(function (_$rootScope_, _$controller_, _$q_, _$httpBackend_, _appConfig_) { $q = _$q_; $rootScope = _$rootScope_; $controller = _$controller_; $httpBackend = _$httpBackend_; appConfig = _appConfig_; scope = $rootScope.$new(); })); afterEach(function () { $httpBackend.verifyNoOutstandingExpectation(); $httpBackend.verifyNoOutstandingRequest(); });
Now each scenario and the tests inside have all the core objects they need to setup the proper environment for testing. There is even a fresh scope object waiting for every test, and the rest of the test code no longer needs inject.
describe("the reportListController", function () { beforeEach(function () { $httpBackend.when("GET", appConfig.reportUrl).respond([{}, {}, {}]); $controller("reportListController", { $scope: scope, }); $httpBackend.flush(); }); it("should retrieve the reports to list", function() { expect(scope.reports.length).toBe(3); }); });
I believe this approach has been beneficial. The tests are leaner, easier to read, and easier to maintain.
Notice the injected function in the opening beforeEach uses parameter names like _$rootScope_ and _$q_. The inject function knows how to strip the underscores to get to the real service names, and since the parameters use underscores the variables in the outer scope can use pretty names like $rootScope and $q.
Sometimes I've seen examples using $controller that pass every dependency in the second parameter.
$controller("reportListController", { $scope: scope, $http: $http, $q: $q });
Chances are the above code only really needs to pass $scope, because the injector will fill in the rest of the services as appropriate.
$controller("reportListController", { $scope: scope });
Again there is less test code and the code is easier to maintain. Controller dependencies can change, but the test code doesn't. Building your own mocks library like angular-mocks for custom services also helps this scenario, too. If you don't need to "own" the dependency in a test, don't bother to setup and pass the dependency to $controller.
Perhaps controversial, but I've started to write tests that do not mock services. Instead, I test a controller and most of the services the controller requires as a single unit. First let me give some details on what I mean, and then explain why I think this works well.
Let's assume we have a reportListController that uses $scope, as well as two custom services that themselves use $http behind the scenes to communicate with the web server. Instead of having long complicated scenario setups with mocks and stubs, I usually only focus on a mock HTTP backend and scope.
$httpBackend.when("GET", appConfig.reportUrl).respond(reports); $controller("reportListController", { $scope: scope }); $httpBackend.flush();
This is a scenario for deleting reports, and the tests are relatively simple.
it("should delete the report", function () { $httpBackend.when("DELETE", appConfig.reportUrl + "/1").respond(200); scope.delete(reports[0]); $httpBackend.flush(); expect(scope.reports.length).toBe(1); }); it("should show a message", function () { $httpBackend.when("DELETE", appConfig.reportUrl + "/1").respond(200); scope.delete(reports[0]); $httpBackend.flush(); expect($rootScope.alerts.length).toBe(1); });
These two tests are exercising a number of logical pieces in the application. It's not just testing the controller but also the model and also how the model interacts with two different services and how those services interact and respond to HTTP traffic.
I'm sure a few people will think these tests are blasphemous and the model and the services should be tested in isolation. However, I believe it is this type of right versus wrong thinking centered around "best practices" that severely limit the acceptance of unit testing in more circles. After years of mock object frameworks in other languages I've learned to avoid mocks whenever possible. Mock objects and mock methods generally:
What I want to test in these scenarios is how the code inside the controller interacts with the services, because most of the logic inside is focused on orchestrating the underlying services to perform useful work. The code inside has to call service methods at the right time, and handle promises appropriately. I want to be able to change the implementation details without reworking the tests. These test work by providing an input (delete this report), and looking at the output (the number of reports), and only needs to provide some fake HTTP message processing to fill in the gaps.
If I had written two mock services for the controller and tested the services in isolation, I'd have more test code but less confidence that the system actually works.
Testing controllers that make service calls when instantiated can be a bit tricky, because everything has to be setup and in place before using the $controller service to instantiate the controller itself.
Using promise resolves in a route definition not only makes for an arguably better user experience, it also makes for easier controller testing because the controller is given everything it needs to get started. Both ui.router and ngRouter support resolves in a route definition, but since this post is already long in the tooth. We'll look at using resolves in a future post.
Let's divide the world web web into two categories.
These are the web sites that you must use because you are a captive customer. The web site for your primary bank would be one example.
These are the sites that play in industries like banking and travel, but all they have to attract you in is the site. They don't own flying machines or safety deposit boxes. A site like this in the travel industry only exists to provide the best experience possible in searching for tickets and reservations.
Not surprisingly, the sites that want you typically have more fully featured websites that are easier to use than the websites of those who have you.
As an example, let's look at zoomed out views of flight search results. The left hand side of the picture below is the search results on Kayak.com (just using them as an example). On the right hand side is the search results of a major U.S. air carrier (instead of naming names, let's call them Unified Airlines).
The areas highlighted in green are flight options with details or general information to help select a flight.
The areas shaded in blue are search and filtering controls to help narrow in on the perfect flight.
The areas in red are advertisements, fee warnings, upsell opportunities, pitches for Unified Airlines credit cards, and wasted white space.
We can call the total amounts of green space even, though Kayak displays twice as many flight results as Unified Airlines does above the fold.
The blue space winner is clearly Kayak. Unified doesn't provide nearly as many filtering and sorting controls as Kayak and the majority of the controls they do provide are not only at the bottom of the page, but they also aren't as interactive and require the browser to render an entirely new search results page.
It looks like the priority for Kayak's development team is to build a great website for finding flights. The priority given to the Unified development team is to sign up travelers for a credit card.
Let's pick on another company, this one I'll call Charriott Hotels. I frequently stay at Charriott properties and use their web site to book rooms. On slow WiFi connections, the desktop version of the site takes forever to load, and a quick peek at the network tab of the developer tools explains why (the image to the right is a zoomed out view).
Charriott's home page sends out 57 network requests for more than 900KB of total payload. However, this is not bad. Most of travel sites, even the ones that want you, are making north of 50 requests for around 1MB of payload by the time all the destination vacation pictures and analytic scripts are finished. Plus, Charriott minifies most of their scripts and CSS, gzips and cache controls their static content, and bundles some (but not all) of their files together.
Still, even casual observation shows areas for improvement. The largest asset download is a 267KB download of minified script that includes:
I'm not a fan of optimizing script downloads just to save a kilobyte here and there, but for the home page of a major hotel brand I'd try to avoid loading two large script frameworks with overlapping functionality. The entire file must be downloaded and parsed before the home page is usable, and I'm certain it is possible to make this happen with less than 1/3 the amount of script currently in the page.
Unified and Charriott actually have good web sites for the large companies that they are. Time and time again I see large company web sites that are disasters, even technology companies that understand design and computers. I don't believe this is the fault of the development teams. I believe bad web sites are the product of politics, design by committee processes, and the inherent difficulty in managing a large IT staff. The teams can make it happen, they just need the opportunity and an environment to make it happen.

Homam: can't believe there is so much negativity about this Canon already. It seems you have all forgotten how the old 5d mii revolutionized the market with an only 9-point AF system and until the introduction of nikon d800 according to dpreview it stood as the highest image quality dslr in the market.
What many amateurs seem to ignore is that huge differences exist between a camera's specs on paper and how it handles in real life. When d800 and 5dmiii were out in the market, i shot both for around a month and i had many more keepers from my 5dmiii in terms of color rendition, contrast, and focus accuracy. I found miii much more fun to shoot with and much more photographer friendly. d800's menu is way to complicated to handle.
I suppose a multi-billion dollar company like Canon knows what it's doing. Let's wait till 6d is in the market then we can actually compare the cameras better.
I am a bit disappointed over the 6D, but it's quite funny to see all this rage. When 5D Mark II was announced, there was SO much rage over it. "ONLY 3.9FPS?!?! ONLY 9 AF POINTS?!?" Even the months AFTER launch were filled with rage. "WHY ARE THERE BLACK DOTS!?!?!?"
It was only a year or two later that people started praising the 5D MKII.
Edmond Leung: Still using pentamirror, too bad!
still larger than the viewfinder magnification of the Nikons.
However, it is disappointing it's actually smaller than the viewfinder of some previous Rebels. I still have my EOS 450D which has a larger viewfinder than the 650D, 0.87x magnification. Some tests claim even higher like 0.95, I doubt it but still the viewfinder on that camera is pretty good for a pentamirror.
how does a 16 megapixel sensor LIMIT it to only 720p?!?!? 720p is only 0.7MP and 1080p is only 2.1MP!

Lawmakers talk pensions, lawsuits at CNPA day
By: Jenifer Gee Journal Editor
Newspaper leaders from throughout the state gather for annual event
State leaders sounded off on pensions, redevelopment and whether the controller has the right to withhold legislature pay at a gathering Wednesday of newspaper leaders. The California Newspaper Publishers Association hosted its 15th annual Governmental Affairs Day in Sacramento. The non-profit association represents daily and weekly newspapers throughout the state. About 100 publishers, editors, presidents, writers and journalism students attended the event. The day's featured speakers included Assembly Speaker John Pérez (D-Los Angeles), Senate President pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway (R-Visalia), Senate Republican Leader Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar) and State Controller John Chiang. Perez said citizens will see the legislature addressing the housing crises in the next few months. "That single issue is stopping the economy from recovering," Perez said. He also said to expect "decisive action on the pension system this year." Perez also noted the lawsuit he and Steinberg worked together to file against the state controller. The lawsuit challenges the controller's ability to halt legislator's pay. Last summer, Chiang said he withheld lawmaker's pay because the budget was vetoed and not balanced. Chiang cited a voter-approved proposition to hold pay for senate and house representatives if they fail to pass a budget on time. Perez said the lawsuit is "squarely an issue of separation of powers." "It's about correcting a destabilizing precedent for the folks that come after us," Perez added. Chiang appeared a few hours after Perez and addressed the issue when asked by a student journalist in the crowd. The elected controller said it's a question of how do you enforce the voter's will. He said lawmakers did not pass two different legal standards to meet a balanced budget by deadline and therefore there should be no appropriations. Bill Brehm Jr., president of Brehm Communications, Inc., which owns the Auburn Journal, asked Chiang the cost of the lawsuit to the state of California and how long it would take to resolve. Chiang said he could not predict how long or how expensive litigation would be. "Hopefully the people involved can narrow the issues and come to an agreement," Chiang said.

So I was over joyed last night when AF decided to show up. First one since having my Mirena removed {3 weeks ago}.
This morning however, AF has gone away. I checked my cervix this morning to compare it with last night. This morning it was high and firm where as last night it was low and firm. I had a little bit of brown on my finger after checking cp, but other than that AF has vanished.
I know this is any type of 'implantation bleeding' because it was bright red last night, with some clots {tmi} but for only last night and that's it? Would I still count last night as CD1? Has anyone else ever experienced a '1 day' {if you even want to call it that} AF after having an IUD?
