Fischer Audio DBA-02
" Introduction A warning before we even get to the review. This is kinda lengthy. I'm not sure how it got so long since it is just one product but yeah it is a bit long. Fischer Audio has slowly gained popularity over the last year or so and there was quite a buzz on them but nothing interested me enough to go out and purchase them. That changed when LFF posted a review on the DBA 02 and..." --rawrster
Fischer Audio TBA-04 IEM
"When my 2 year old DBA02 mkii's lost left channel signal strength, I needed a replacement, pronto. I took note of some good sounding < IEMs from |joker|'s list and headed off to the nearest headphone store - to tide me over till I went custom, so the idea went. (I totally agree with |joker|'s 9.2 assessment of SQ on the DBA 02 mkii, fyi) As it turned out, they..." --exsomnis
Fischer Audio DBA-02 Mk II
" The DBA-02 Mk IIs are getting a lot of the same fame and respect their initial version siblings got. While initial comparisons suggest the Mk IIs are not as distinctive as the originals in shining with as fearless a midrange and treble, the major sonic character seems to have carried. (I never heard the originals but have gathered this from others' opinions.) And..." --ScuderiaHeadFi

Fischer Audio Omega Ace
"Just gonna do a brief review. Got these for RM250, which translates to roughly 62USD. For that price, you would not even be able to find another pair of over-the-ear IEMs. Overall, the build feels pretty solid despite the plastic housing and it comes with a twisted cable. The drivers aren't big, and thus fits into the ears well without any protruding parts. Comfort wise, these pair of IEMs are..." --Asher Lim
Superlux HD 381
"Intro TL;DR: The Superlux HD381F is an IEM that pops tags with its exceptional sound quality in its cheap-looking and completely unassuming package. Before I begin, I would like to first thank George at Gearbest.com for providing a review sample of the Superlux HD381F in exchange for my honest opinion. I would like to clarify that I am neither affiliated with..." --thatBeatsguy

However, there was a downside like with most things in life and that was the..." --mcook1970
Fischer Audio ToughStuff-9001
" Straight out of SANSA Clip+ Bass is accurate, punchy and deep, the mids are slightly recessed and the treble is very crisp. Clarity is up to Fischer standards, no veiled sound here. Overall they sound very similar to the ATH M50, but with less recession and greater clarity (though less inviting imaging) These are one of the best IEM's I'ver ever heard, and for the price..." --1eye1derweasil
Fischer Audio Eterna
" So I owned a pair of CX300II's for over 4 years and finally decided to get a new pair. Of course, I was looking to upgrade from the sennheiser in terms of Bass and overall quality.

The Top Ten Pitt Wins Since 2002 - Plus coverage map for Saturday
OK, I got a lot of responses on my "Ten worst losses for Pitt since I started covering the team in 2002 a few weeks back" and the comments I got the most were "Why do you have to be so negative?" and "How could you leave all four of the Rutgers losses off the list".
To the second point first, the four Rutgers losses – I think Pitt should have won at least two of them but really let's examine them closer and when we do, I think you'll see why none of them really deserved to be in the top ten (though last year's could have been honorable mention) –
2005 - Pitt got down like 28-0 or something and came back and lost by only a touchdown. Yes, the Panthers played poorly in the first half, but really, it was more a matter of dropped passes and turnovers – and Rutgers making a few big plays – than anything I would call "head-scratching" or "mind-boggling." Pitt just got beat up that night.
2006 - A bad Pitt team played its tail off against a team that was within a few points of winning the Big East title. The Panthers even had a chance to win as they trailed only 13-10 until Ray Rice, a great player, made a great play and went about 70 yards up the middle. Nothing to be ashamed of in this one as a win would have been a very nice - and surprising -- upset.
2007 – In all of my years of covering Pitt, I've never uttered these words about any game but this one – Big East officials robbed the Panthers. I don't believe officials cost games, I don't buy into referee conspiracy theories, but, the phantom pass interference call on Oderick Turner at the end of the game (it would have been the game-winning touchdown as Pitt trailed by four and more importantly was one of a handful of glaringly bad calls that the Big East reviewed at the end of the year that got the ball rolling to some of the changes made in the official linuep of referees as well as the philosophy and way refereeing in the Big East would be approached as a new regime began), thrown by an official halfway up the sidelines and late, is one of the worst and most ridiculous calls I've ever witnessed. Pitt should have won this game but got hosed. That's not really on the Panthers, especially since this was a team with all of those quarterback issues which fought hard and never quit. It deserved better.
2008 – Pitt took a "you know what" kicking. That's the bottom line. If there was something a bit disappointing about this game it was that the defensive game plan made no sense and was not adjusted, or at least didn't appear to be adjusted until it was too late. Despite that, Pitt had a chance until two late turnovers – one by Aaron Berry on a punt and an interception thrown by Pat Bostick – sealed its fate. This one could have made the list probably given the fact that it wasn't the smartest game played by Pitt, but Mike Teel was on fire that day and sometimes you just have to tip your hat to the other team's scholarship players because they make plays, too.
Now, to the first point – about me being too negative – it is laughable, particularly since I have an inbox full of e-mails from angry out of town fans (particularly from fans of that team in the middle of the state who swears they don't care about Pitt) calling me a homer. I just call it as I see it. But to prove I am a kinder, gentler beat reporter, and in the interest of fairness, here is a list of "Pitt's ten best wins" since I started covering the team in 2002……
1.) Pitt 13, West Virginia 9 (2007) – What more can be said about this one? In all my years of covering this team, this is the only game which I can say the outcome took me totally by surprise. I make predictions, some are wrong and some are right (of course, I always hear about it when I am wrong) but even when I make predictions, I almost always can come up with an argument for how it could go the other way. But I remember talking about this game leading up to and saying "I just can't see any realisitc scenario in which Pitt wins this one" and if you didn't say the same thing or something similar, you are lying. One could argue that this game changed the landscape of college football because -- if WVU wins it goes to national title game (and probably beats Ohio State). Rich Rodriguez is likely still at WVU, Les Miles, whose team would not have been going to a national title game, likely is at Michigan, Bo Pelini might be the head coach at LSU and not Nebraska....And just because I know it never gets old for you here was the aftermath from the winning and losing sides, including a little dance off...
And of course, that was the most disheartened I've seen a coach in a postgame since, well, 2001 when I covered WVU and the same coach had a hard time talking about the fact that the Mountaineers had just been upset by Temple in Morgantown.
Oh, and here are a few shots of the locker room celebration -- thankfully for Pitt's sake the players proved to be much better at playing football that night than they were at dancing and singing.
2.) Pitt 16, West Virginia 13 (2004) - Yes, the Panthers technically clinced the BCS berth the next week down in Tampa but this was for all intents and purposes the battle for the Big East championship. And this was also the last home game coached by Walt Harris. WVU came in highly ranked but were without a couple of their high-profile knuckleheads (I think both Chris Henry and Pac Man were suspended for this game) and the Panthers, led by Tyler Palko scored late to come-from-behind and win the game.
3.) Pitt 20 Boston College 17 (2004) - Pitt had won some games during this season in dramatic fashion but it wasn't until this game - complete with the Tyler Palko running over the safety on the sideline - that the Panthers showed they were not only tough enough, but resiliant enough to beat a really good team. The Panthers went the distance to get back into this game then won it with a Josh Cummings kick in overtime. This is the game that really got them headed in the direction of the Fiesta Bowl.
4.) Pitt 31 Virginia Tech 28 (2003) - The game lost a little bit of luster because the Panthers got smacked around by Miami the next week but what more can be said -- Lousaka Polite up the middle for a late touchdown to win the game. ESPN Gameday was in town and the victory put the Panthers in position to win the Big East. But like we said - the Hurricanes spoiled the party.
5.) Pitt 24, Cincinnati 17 (2007) - People laugh when I talk about this win being a big one for Pitt, but remember the Panthers were pretty bad this year and the Bearcats were ranked and on their way to a 10-win season. This was one of the best defensive efforts of any of the teams I've covered and frankly I'd say this game - not the West Virginia upset a few weeks earlier - was the turning point for the Dave Wannstedt era because it showed that he had indeed recruited a good group of talented players and if they could get a little better play from their quarterback, they could be a good team.
8.) Pitt 21, Iowa 20 (2008) - This game answered a lot of questions about the mental toughness of the 2008 team and laid the groundwork for what was a very successful season. It also taught this team how to win games. Every season has a point where it turns for the better or worse -- this is where the season really took a big step forward. It also wiped away the bad taste from the loss to Bowling Green a few weeks earlier. And one other thing - it gave Greg Cross his 15 minutes of fame thanks to one highlight reel play.
9.) Pitt 36, Notre Dame 33, OT (2008) - It is always a big deal to win at Notre Dame. But to come from behind and do it and do it in overtime was pretty impressive, especially considering it looked like the Panthers were in big trouble, down 17-3 at the half. And imagine the simplicity - yet brilliance -- of throwing three fade patterns in a row to Jonathan Baldwin before it finally worked for the game-tying touchdown to send it to overtime.
10.) Pitt 41, Furman 38 (2004), OT – An overtime win over a I-AA team? I know, but before you say "are you nuts" hear me out. This was the game that the team matured and learned how to win - and those things came in handy down the stretch when they won four games coming from behind in the fourth quarter. Pitt was down by 17 in the second half in this game but, behind Palko, came storming back and won the game in overtime. Walking off the field I said to one of the people next to me that "the Panthers learned how to win today" and I really believe this is when that team - which went on to get to the Fiesta Bowl - came together and rallied behind Palko.
Honorable Mention: Pitt 38, Oregon State 13 (2002 Insight Bowl); This year - Pitt 41, USF 14
The game will be shown in 83 percent of the country, so that's a lot of television sets:

ANTIOCH, Calif. (November 16, 2012)--A Northern California woman whose home was burglarized is pleading with the thieves to return just one item: a silver urn that contains her baby's ashes.
Michiko Koyoi's Antioch home was ransacked Wednesday.
Among the items taken was a heart-shaped urn containing the ashes of her son who died during birth in January.
The boy's name and date of death are inscribed in the urn.
Koyoi, 35, who has three other children, is urging the robbers to return the urn, saying they can keep everything else.
The baby was diagnosed with Down syndrome and spine problems while in utero.
Doctors told Koyoi to end the pregnancy, but she doesn't believe in abortion and carried him for 7 ½ months.

What does this button do? Mess up everything, thats what! Don't touch it! You have to tamper with every button, knob, handle, etc. Much like the destroyer ant, you reduce everything that lands in your path to zero. Just sit still in one place, do not move at all and if that proves to be difficult ask someone to tape you to a chair. This month, you are unable to resist the temptation to touch a wall with a "Wet Paint" sign; only to find that, due to an application of Super Glue left there by a mischievous Scorpio moments before, you are uncomfortably stuck. You really should have used your hand to touch the wall. Let this be a lesson to you. You are in some ways like an impulsive child; this was just about bearable when you actually were a child, now it's just irritating and makes people want to stab you.
Your happiness will be turned to tragedy when you realise you are no longer important to people, you are no longer listened to and you cannot influence others. It's funny how during this month well be hearing you screech like a drowning cat! You insist that the hideous noise you are making is called singing, but others at the kareoke beg to differ. Either get lessons or stop putting the other people at the bar thru torture, just cuz you think that a particular song means something to you. On Friday, you will have to roll up your sleeves, put on some rubber gloves and dig deep into the rubbish bin of life. Avoid the flies and try to reach the bottom, as not doing so will be detrimental to your mental health.
All colours are unlucky for you, so wear black.
Shallow tho you are, you at least remember to give a good friend a hug this week. The good karma generated from this act of friendship will save you from a disaster in two weeks time. Remember this next time you decide that you can't be bothered to give your best friend a call. You swore that your love would last until the seas run dry, the mountains crumbled, and the sun grew cold, so youll be single again as of Thursday. Don't cry for your love; they are not worth it and are already badmouthing you round the town. Get your own back by going out and finding a replacement. Youre finally entering that period of your life when the things that you want to do greatly outnumber the things that you are capable of doing. Rather than spend hours thinking this over, you will give up and go to your second home, the mall. Do not buy the pink dress; it goes see thru in wet weather and shows off more than you would ever want to reveal.
Youre starting to develop a sneaking suspicion that other people are having more parties and all round fun than you are, which just proves that it takes a while for you to catch on sometimes. A family member will apologise this month for a birthday catastrophe or the catastrophe of your birth. Accept with a smile, then turn them in for food stamp fraud. All your friends are plotting against you, so don't trust anyone this month. Your strong opinions are interpreted as being a jerk by others around you. You have been on this Earth for many years, yet you still haven't learned when to keep your trap shut. Scorpios are best known for ending up in prison serving life sentences. You may yet avoid this fate, but only if you strive to drink a different fizzy drink every single day of this month.
Change your shampoo.
You have no idea what you want to say. You will give confusing directions, and you will explain things poorly and be misunderstood. Your quiet voice will gather like dust in corners. Yes, this month will be just like all the ones before. You will try and lose weight, and yet gain it. Here's a tip; when you sneak down at midnight and grab a snack out of the fridge, it still counts on your day's total. Put a lock on your fridge or invest in some sleeping pills. For some reason, friends are always asking for your opinion. You are arrogant and oblivious of the dangerous nature of your own advice. Yet somehow, your stupidity is applied more often than you know or are credited for. Today you may spend more time with someone that you love just as much as flies love swatters. If you were a Cancer or a Scorpio, you'd slap them. Sadly, however, as a Sagittarius, you will be doomed to listen to them ramble on for half an hour which you will never regain.
Its more frustrating to lose your keys than it is to lose your mind because most people that lose their mind dont know its gone. This doesn't apply to you, cuz you have no mind. Your keys are probably behind the cistern, for some unknown reason that we don't want to go into now. The next time someone starts a sentence with, The least you can do, in an effort to reprimand you, stop them in their tracks and remind them that the least you can do is nothing. You do not usually win verbal battles, so that's a real plus for you. Cherish it. You might want to try something new this week, like showering and maybe even brushing your teeth. And while youre off the couch, perhaps you might want to look into purchasing some dignity and self respect? You can't live like a student all your life, you know.
Cut down on the sweets, you'll rot your teeth.

Nick Denton's Own Employees Give Him the Gawker Treatment
And it ain't entirely pretty.
One of the weird strengths of the Gawker media empire, and the flagship site in particular, is that its writers and editors spend all day showcasing strong opinions about people that they don't currently, and probably never will, know. Whether that is — as someone once told founder Nick Denton — a case of "losers talking about winners," or, whether it is actually a rare example of outsider perspective undiluted by brand loyalty, archaic journalistic notions, or future job aspirations, it represents a larger trend. This perspective, while no longer unique in the blogosphere, is something that Gawker does best. And it's why Ben McGrath's New Yorker profile of Denton this week turns particularly strange and interesting when those writers and editors turn their sights on Denton himself — someone that they do know all too well. In one lengthy section of his piece, McGrath just lets these critics-of-life criticize the very man who gave them their voices.
The whole profile is worth a read, though as usual it will take you a while. But this section is particularly telling, because it uses the mythological (and occasionally humorously made-up) viewpoint and tone these writers and editors have developed to speak about the titans of pop culture to describe a guy who sits at a computer just down the table from them. Witness:
"The villain public persona is not a hundred-per-cent true," A. J. Daulerio, the editor-in-chief of Deadspin, Gawker Media's sports blog, said. "It's probably eighty-per-cent true."
"He has fun when people say horrible things about him," the blog guru Anil Dash said.
"I can't lie to make him worse than he is, but he's pretty bad," Ian Spiegelman, a former Gawker writer, said.
"Other people's emotions are alien to him," Choire Sicha, another Gawker alumnus, said ...
"He almost sees people as Legos moving around," Sheila McClear said.
"He's not a fully human person," Spiegelman said.
"I mean, maybe he thinks he's the one truly advanced human," Anna Holmes, the founding editor of Jezebel, a.k.a. Girlie Gawker, said.
"Does he have parents?" Daulerio asked.
"I always imagine that he came fully formed out of British finishing school," Holmes said.
"What can you do with a person like that?" Spiegelman said. "He's a character out of Dr. Seuss, frankly."
"Nick is a bit of a sphinx on purpose," Joel Johnson, the longest-serving Gizmodo writer, said. "He has some of the attributes of the dork who wraps his Asperger's around him like a cloak."
"There's no point in writing about Nick if you can't get to the fundamental problem of his nihilism," Moe Tkacik, who has worked at both Gawker and Jezebel, said.
"He likes pretty things," Daulerio said.
"He takes cancer very seriously," Sicha said.
"He wants to be Warhol," McClear said ...
"What he really wants is to be the editor of the New York Times," Spiegelman said.
McGrath points out that "given the thin margins of online publishing, Denton's cultural impact greatly exceeds his revenues, which are somewhere on the order of fifteen to twenty million dollars a year." And yet here his personality's given that exact outsize treatment. Is there any person out there who is actually like a character out of Dr. Seuss? Or have websites like Gawker just tricked us into believing so? If that's the case, perhaps Denton is getting the precise coverage he's hoping for. (Not that he'll read it: "It's like watching yourself on video," he told us today of reading profiles about him. "And I don't really mind playing tabloid monster. I always liked those characters in the old movies.")

I will be presenting UX Design Essentials in Katowice Poland in November. Looking forward to it!
I will be presenting UX Design Essentials in Dalian, Beijing, and Shenzhen China in July. Looking forward to it!
My blog has been on an unscheduled vacation since November 1st. This is about the time I started working on UI is Communication, and unfortunately I don't have time to both write a book and blog. Too bad, because I have about one hundred fantastic topics in the queue.
LinkedIn recently added a Poll feature and I've tried a few polls on a variety of user experience-related topics. They are fun to make, fun to take, and the results are often insightful. Best of all, I can put together a good poll in a couple minutes, which is about all the free time I have right now.
So, here's the deal: Every Monday I will post a new UX design-related poll, which you will see in the lower-right corner of the UX Design Edge site. (That's the weak fallow area for you Gutenberg Diagram aficionados.) Please stop buy, take the poll, and check the results.
To put everything together nicely, I have registered ux-poll.com, which will take you to an archive of the past polls.
Please participate and enjoy!
In my original Don't design like a programmer post, I explored a common UI design trap that programmers often fall into, where you have a data structure, map that directly to a UI, and expect the results to be a good user experience.
I ended the post with this example, which shows what happens when you fall into this trap:
This has been my most popular post and the feedback has been very supportive. Still, several people said that they weren't satisfied that I ended the post bad example without showing a good one, and asked me to provide an example of a good design. Easier said than done!
My first step towards this goal was Don't design like a programmer, part 2, where I outlined a design process for good design and its various attributes. In this third post, I would like to put everything together, apply the process, and show a partial mockup of a good design that is user centered and avoids the "designing like a programmer" trap.
My original post was not a critique of the wGetGUI UI, but rather an exploration of a common UI design trap that programmers often fall into when designing UI. wGetGUI was just an example.
There are two critical problems with the original wGetGUI design that I must point out before continuing:
While these are design problems are quite common, I believe they are unacceptable. The purpose and mechanics of a well-designed program should be obvious from inspection, and should never require external knowledge, experimentation, or documentation to understand. This is the very definition of what it means to be intuitive. The old programmer acronym of RTFM should be replaced with DTFUI.
By contrast, the more obvious design problems—the over complexity and exposing everything on a single surface—are of secondary importance and easy to fix.
OK, let's get down to business and apply the design process outlined in Part 2. Let's call the new UI SiteNabber.
SiteNabber is a simple utility for copying website files, primarily for site backup or offline usage. Without SiteNabber, users either have to copy the files manually or use a complex utility.
The target users for SiteNabber are intermediate computer users. They have enough knowledge about computers and the Internet to want to copy a website's files, but they aren't so advanced that they would prefer using a more complex existing solution. Experts who want to control every detail aren't target users!
The top user goal is to perform the download/backup task with minimal hassle, both in terms of effort to use the program as well as time to download the files. SiteNabber users need enough control over the task to avoid wasting time by using an efficient approach and not downloading files they don't want.
There are two top tasks:
1) Downloading a site (or partial site) for offline usage.
2) Downloading a site (or partial site) for backup.
Users may own the site content but probably do not (if they owned the site, they would probably use a specialized site archival tool). Consequently, users probably don't know the structure of the site, its specific file types, or their sizes.
Here are the steps to copy a website:
1) Determine the url for the website you want to copy.
2) Chose the folder you would like to copy the files to.
3) Start the copy process.
4) Unless there is a problem (such as files that are too large to copy), that's it!
Page 1: Gather the required input from Step 6, provide access to options. The title should explain what the utility is for.
Page 2: Give progress feedback, deal with any problems found. No input required. Title: Copying website files…
Page 3: Show task completion. No input required Title: Website copy complete!
I'll do this in the next section.
I'll jump ahead here and point out that the target user knows the website url and where to copy the files to, but doesn't know anything about the files being copied. But the target user does have the goal of not wasting time or disk space. Consequently, the options should optimized avoid wasting time and space by default.
A good optimization goal is that users should be successful on the first try instead of trial and error. That is, instead of attempting the copy, failing because of some problem, canceling, tweaking the settings to avoid the problem, and then starting over; the UI should be designed to handle problems as they are found.
Another optimization is to preserve all previous input and settings so that users don't have to reenter them.
Beyond the scope. But if you are a user, please send me your feedback.
While working through the above process steps, two important takeaways really jumped out at me:
Now let's cut to the chase and design some pages!
Page 1: Gather input, perhaps with an Option dialog.
Here is the main page that identifies the program and its purpose, gathers user input, and provides access to options.
The large main instruction at the top of the page explains the purpose of the utility. Should no longer be a mystery.
The website and folder combo boxes are used to get the source and destination for the copy. Combo boxes are used for efficiency, since previous input is likely to be reused in the future. The Browse buttons (labeled with ellipses) are used to display picker dialogs to help users with providing the input. Once everything is set, the user initiates the task by clicking the prominent Copy website button.
The options required for efficient copy are selected by default. Instead of sprinkling options everywhere, the options related to the source are accessed using Source options and the options related to file copying are accessed using Copy options. General advanced options are accessed using the Advanced button. I'll look at options in more detail in the next section.
Page 2: Give progress feedback, deal with any problems found.
Here is the progress page:
The purpose of this page is to communicate the overall progress. Gory details like the current filename being copied aren't necessary so they are omitted. I'm assuming target users really don't care.
An interesting design challenge is to deal with large files that users might not need to copy without having to abandon the task and start over. Note that the first page has a Prompt for large files option. If that option is set, files that are larger than some specific size are prompted before copying. Here's how that UI might look:
Here files greater than 1 GB are prompted. Users can select to copy them as they are found or wait until the initial copy is done, select the desired files, and click Copy large files. I haven't tested this solution, but there is a lot to be said for eliminating trial and error.
Page 3: Show task completion.
Finally, the last page gives clear feedback that the task as been completed:
As a convenience, the page gives a link to the destination folder to complete the task from the user's point of view. If in the top scenarios users are likely to want to access that folder immediately (which I'm not assuming here), a better approach would be to not display this feedback, but just close the program and display the folder to show task completion.
To wrap this section up, note how the pages closely match the task steps outlined in Step 6. If they were different, that would suggest a design problem.
Handling all the options is clearly a challenge with the wGetGUI design. In the interest of time and space, I won't mockup screenshots but rather describe a good solution.
There are several techniques to simplify a UI. These are the most useful for this program:
Let's apply these techniques and handle the options in a variety of levels:
The design process puts a lot of emphasis on defining and characterizing target users and their goals. The challenge of handling the options illustrates why: good design decisions completely depend upon the needs of the target users. Don't fall into the other classic programmer trap of designing for yourself or presenting everything the same way.
I haven't yet performed Step 12: Test with real users, so there's a good chance that I have some details wrong. This is normal and expected. Here is some feedback that might come up with real users:
If you do only one thing… If you design UI like a programmer, please try to apply the design process outlined in Part 2. It really does work and it gets you focused on your users instead of the code.
If you would like to learn more about the process I've just described, please consider taking my UX Design Essentials course or my online UX Design Basics course. I've designed both of these courses to help non-designers get started in UX design. I've only scratched the surface here.
There have been many stories about Steve Jobs lately. Walter Isaacson's authorized biography Steve Jobs came out this week and is now the #1 bestselling book. Isaacson has hit the talk show circuit hard—I must have heard essentially the same interview at least four times this week.
Through Isaacson, here is what we are learning about Steve Jobs:
Isaacson (like everybody else) is in a state of wonderment as to how this all managed to work out so well. All this worked out because, against the odds, Jobs was usually right.
I've seen other managers attempt to do similar things, and the results are consistently disastrous. For example, endlessly obsessing over colors might put you on everybody's "A list," but probably not the A list you have in mind. Being an arrogant, cruel, humiliating, self-absorbed, perfectionist jerk isn't normally the road to success. It would a tragedy if this turned out to be Steve Jobs management legacy. Steve Jobs wasn't successful because of these characteristics, but in spite of them. Not just anybody could have pulled this off—Steve Jobs himself was just barely able to be Steve Jobs. I fear that we are in for a generation of Steve Jobs wannabes screwing up every project they touch.
"You aren't Steve Jobs, so don't act like him."
Let's consider one example. When Isaacson describes Jobs' famous reality distortion field, he explains how the Macintosh team said a project would take three months to complete. Jobs insisted that they do it in only two weeks, and lo and behold, they amazingly got the project done in two weeks.
This is pure BS. The reality distortion field here is that Steve Jobs deluded himself into thinking that is what actually happened. In the real world, when a team of talented software developers say a project will take three months to complete, it will probably take a bit more at best. People rarely overestimate. If they worked double time, perhaps they could get a week and half's worth of work done in a week's time. It is simply not possible for a team to deliver three months of real work in a couple weeks.
My experience is that if a project manager insists on doing a project in less time than the shortest estimate, the project will end up taking more time than the longest estimate. I can't prove this, but Steve McConnell comes awfully close in Rapid Development: Taming Wild Software Schedules.
In the section Overly Optimistic Scheduling, McConnell tells the story of Microsoft Word for Windows 1.0. Based on metrics, McConnell estimates the optimal schedule to be 460 days. The shortest estimate the team gave was 395 days. Bill Gates insisted that it be done in 365 days. How many days did it actually take? Try 1887—5 times longer than planned! Why? Because cutting all the corners required to pretend that the product could be done in a year meant that the resulting code was poor quality crap that all had to be redone (or "stabilized"). This is how ignoring your team's estimates usually works out, and I doubt that Jobs' results were any different.
I think that Steve Jobs was absolutely brilliant visionary and project leader. But the brilliant part isn't the story being told by Isaacson—those are mostly character flaws. Here's my summary of the brilliant part:
These are the right lessons—the part of Steve Jobs' life that you should aspire to emulate.
If you do only one thing: Remember that Steve Jobs' vision, focus, and high standards are what made Apple great, not his personal character flaws.

Saturday, Oct. 26, is National Pit Bull Awareness Day and in light of the occasion a Pit Bull walk will be held in Dodge City. The walk will begin at 3 p.m. at Lions Park and end near Applebee's. Pit Bull owners will be able to bring their dogs and go for a walk with fellow Pit Bull enthusiasts. National Pit Bull Awareness Day is a day of appreciation and education geared toward changing negative stereotypes about Pit Bulls and their owners. It was established to promote positive communications and experiences in communities where dogs are present. This is the first year the Pit Bull walk is being held in Dodge City. So far 16 people have been confirmed as attending the event and more are welcome. There is no need to register for the event and Pit Bull owners can simply arrive at the walk with their dog. "I think that especially because in Dodge City we have legislation against Pit Bulls that the owners in town and surrounding communities need to come out and get our dogs out in the public so they can see that the negative image does not belong to these dogs and that they are loving family animals," organizer Dawn Meredith said. There are certain requirements for owners bringing their dogs to the walk. City ordinance guidelines include that local dogs must be registered and insured and that dogs from outside the city limits be insured. All dogs must be on a six foot or shorter leash, muzzled and be current on vaccinations. A copy of proof of vaccinations must be brought to the event. Each dog must be given adequate space to walk and there can be no face to face interactions without first asking permission from the owner. Any animal waste must be picked up. At the conclusion of the walk educational materials regarding Pit Bulls will be distributed. Those seeking additional information on the walk or on National Pit Bull Awareness Day may contact Dawn Meredith at 620-430-4238 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Please calm your nerves

To The Editor: We just returned to the beautiful mountains and picked up Sundays Times-News. Unfortunately, nothing has changed in the psyches of our neighbors. Sample headlines from letters: Impeachment not pardons, Prosecute Bush and Cheney, Pardons mock justice system, Time running out to impeach.
Please, Id like a calm, reasoned explanation for the enmity and vitriol that pervades this quiet mountain community. It would be a pleasure to hear advocates for all of the above mentioned horrible prescriptions explain how they arrived at their hate-filled places.
I have never lived in an area where there have been so many whiners and weepers, so many babies, so much immaturity. The election is over! The one has won! Or maybe we should simply line up any and all Bush administration officials, their friends and families and stone them. That has a nice Old Testament ring to it, doesnt it?
I hope and pray that the Obama administration succeeds. I am skeptical and pessimistic but will keep my fingers crossed. Can we afford this ultimate government handout? More importantly, can our children and grandchildren afford the Democratic largesse? I dont know, but the U.S. is taking on so much debt. It could destroy us.

Hey WP, I have a rather complex website that I'm needing to build and have no idea where to begin...but here's my list, and I'd love some advice on what I should do to build all this and/or if WP is even capable of it?
1. FashionShots "home page" as a splash page: Visitors click on the applicable icon to choose which division of the site they want to enter: FashionShots Boudoir, FashionShots Seniors, or FashionShots Models.
2. Each division of the website has a similar feel in the design, but different colors and navigation specific to that division and they end up looking like 3 different websites, only I just have one admin area to maintain all of them. I was thinking of creating separate WP installs on different directories such as http://www.fashion-shots.com/boudoir, http://www.fashion-shots.com/models, http://www.fashion-shots.com/high-school-seniors, until I realized that would mean I'd have to edit 3 different websites at all times. Is there a way to have just one website that LOOKS like 3 different sites with different templates, but I just have one admin area to maintain all of them?
Thanks so much for the help!!

Installing and Configuring IIS 6.0
Updated: August 22, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1
Because IIS 6.0 is not installed during the default installation of Windows Server 2003, the next step in deploying the Web server is to install and configure IIS 6.0. The deployment process presented here assumes that you install IIS 6.0 with the default options in Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. If you use other methods for installing and configuring Windows Server 2003, such as Manage Your Server, the default configuration settings might be different.
|You can use the Web Platform Installer (Web PI) to easily install IIS, and applications that run on IIS. The Web PI is a free, lightweight tool that lets you install IIS and related technologies such as ASP.NET, SQL Server Express, Visual Web Developer, other popular Web applications, and more. Because the Web PI installs the latest versions of available Web Platform offerings, with just a few simple clicks you can download and install any new tools or updates. To learn more about the Web PI, see Learn more and install the Web PI.
Install IIS 6.0 with only the essential components and services.
As with installing Windows Server 2003, the primary concern when installing and configuring IIS 6.0 is to ensure that the security of the Web server is maintained. Enabling unnecessary components and services increases the attack surface of the Web server. You can help ensure that the Web server is secure by enabling only the essential components and services in IIS 6.0.
For more information about how to install IIS 6.0, see Install IIS 6.0. For more information about the IIS 6.0 components and services that you should enable, see Enabling Only Essential IIS Components and Services
If you want to manage the Web site content by using Microsoft® FrontPage®, install FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions from Microsoft on the Web server.
For information about how to enable FrontPage Server Extensions after installing them on the Web server, see Configure Web Service Extensions.

Who will win the battle for the soul of the GOP — Rush Limbaugh or their climate-wise governors?
Okay, that wasn't a very tough question:
See also "Hill conservatives reject all 3 climate strategies and embrace Rush Limbaugh."
8 Responses to Who will win the battle for the soul of the GOP — Rush Limbaugh or their climate-wise governors?
You have to hope that it is the just the conservative leadership that is hoodwinked by the core deniers.
We are so good at talking to ourselves that we do not often test our own perceptions. I know that one family on my street gets their politics from Limbaugh and their science from Michael Savage.
Maybe it is ingrained as part of the American Psyche that we see the outsider as hero, the lone individual standing up for truth in the face of political chicanery. I would not be surprised to see a new Richard Pombo portrayed as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
This factor is so insidious that I have seen a recommendation of Lawrence Soloman's The Deniers on a Green Party national email list, and for the reasons stated.
Do not ever doubt that this issue is so politicized that the grassroots of the Republican Party are fully in accordance with Limbaugh, Savage and consider Inhofe / Morano / Rohrabacher as whistle-blowing truth tellers.
Wes Rolley – CoChair EcoAction Committee, Green Party US
Is it really too much to hope that some side with the Governors?
I fear the conservative stagnation is in an unrecoverable tail-spin.
I think Vladimir Putin will win the battle for the soul of the republican party.
Seriously, I would vote for Arnold for president (he is probably one of three Republicans I could say that about). Too bad he can't legally run.
I keep wondering if it wouldn't be more effective if all non-fans totally ignored him.
Each response or discussion gives him more credibility – including, of course, any publicizing of the idea of ignoring him. Love those Catch-22's.
I agree with BrooksB. Ignore people. Fight ideas.

Is there a a way with GIMP editor to crop a big picture into several small equal sized pictures? So when all those small pictures connected in order would make a big picture.
We can easily slice an image to subimages along predefined guides using the Guillotine tool:
To export the images in ready to use HTML code we can alternatively use a Slice python-fu script made for this purpose.
As far as gimp goes, I have no idea how to make multi-page posters or slice image, but that answer was already given, so that's good.

If I generate the cores to the current directory instead of /tmp then copy, there aren't any problems. My best guess is the file copy is generating a signal from the OS which sbcl isn't quite handling (the hang in step 4).

 I'd always been pleasantly surprised that this did work. I had assumed it was loaded into memory and didn't need the file further. I guess I'll add an unlink call to my script, thanks for the info!

Woodland Park got its first officlal dusting of the season on Tuesday morning around 11:00. Residents there say the snow started as morning rainshowers, by 11:00 a.m. turned into snowflakes and by noon the sky was grey and white and the big, fluffy flakes were falling fast enough to stick to grass, trees, even sidewalks.
Merry Jo Larsen, a long-time resident of Woodland Park, was thrilled, "I love it, this is why we live here!"
She says she's glad to see summer finally come to an end, and that the moisture was well-needed and welcomed in the area.
Ralph Holloway with the Seven Arrows Gallery was also glad to see the white fluff start falling, "oh I loved it, I loved it, I thought it was great!" He says the snow was so charming, it inspired him to start decorating his store with Christmas decorations.
The snow didn't last long, and had melted off soon after the sun came back out, but for a short while, it was a great sight for those looking forward to what's to come.

I was there taking photos on behalf of some government arm… they kind of gave me free reign, an assistant and driver, etc. But, in all honesty, I would have been much better off without her. She was a very goofy and silly girl. You can kind of get a sense of it in this video below… Halfway through, I complained so much that I finally got a new dude named James.

Aspirin therapy can extend the life of colorectal cancer patients whose tumors carry a mutation in a key gene, but has no effect on patients who lack the mutation, according to data from the Nurses Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study.
Researchers studied more than 900 patients with colorectal cancer, and found that for patients whose tumors harbored a mutation in the PIK3CA gene, aspirin use produced a sharp jump in survival. Five years after diagnosis, 97% of those taking aspirin were still alive, compared with 74% of those not using aspirin.
In contrast, aspirin had no impact on five-year survival rates among patients without a PIK3CA mutation.
"Our results suggest that aspirin can be particularly effective in prolonging survival among patients whose colorectal cancer tests positive for a mutation in PIK3CA," Shuji Ogino, MD, PhD, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Brigham and Womens Hospital and the Harvard School of Public Health, said in a news release.
"For the first time, we have a genetic marker that can help doctors determine which colorectal cancers are likely to respond to a particular therapy." Ogino cautioned that the results need to be replicated by other researchers before they can be considered definitive.
Although aspirin often is prescribed for colorectal cancer patients, physicians have not been able to predict which patients actually will benefit from the treatment. The new finding suggests that the survival benefit is limited to the 20% whose tumors have the PIK3CA mutation.
For the remaining patients, aspirin still may be used, but it is likely to be much less effective and can lead to gastrointestinal ulcers and stomach bleeding, the researchers noted.
The study was prompted by previous research that suggested aspirin blocks an enzyme called PTGS2 (cyclooxygenase-2), causing a slowdown in the signaling activity of another enzyme, PI3K. That led researchers to hypothesize that aspirin could be especially effective against colorectal cancers in which the PIK3CA gene which provides a subunit of PI3K is mutated.
To conduct the study, investigators obtained data on 964 patients with rectal or colon cancer from the Nurses Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. The data included information on the patients use of aspirin after diagnosis and the presence or absence of PIK3CA mutations in their tumor tissue.
The study, which combines the study of disease-related genes and research into large populations of individuals, represents a new, hybrid field that Ogino has termed molecular pathology epidemiology. "The field may help us bring together information from two frontiers of cancer research — at both the molecular and population levels — in ways that are beneficial to patients," he said.
The study appears in the Oct. 25 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. The study abstract is available at www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1207756?query=featured_home.

Is anyone else a fan of bands like Children Of Bodom, Synergy, or Kamelot?
If so, this is for you.
Kamelot is a progresive metal band from tampa which is not scandinavian (correct spelling)
And Children of Bodom is melodic death metal.
I don't know what Synergy is….
Synergy is a finnish band with Alexi Laiho, the guitarist for Children Of Bodom.
That guy rules. Some other guy told me Kamelot was scandanavian my bad. Im a finnish metal guitarist tho, so i love CoB. (dont actually live there, blood)
A typo in the title + mentioning bands that are not even from Scandinavian +s mentioning bands that are NOT EVEN REMOTELY Black Metal =
the most epic fail I've seen in ages.
i agreee i know children of the bodom are not black meatel
I completely agree with Wejo
When I hear black metal, I think of Naglfar… Now those guys are a true Scandinavian black metal band. Children of Bodom are really good but they are melodic which is my favorite form of more intense metal.
Even though they are from Germany, I think Endstille are top notch Black Metal.
From Germany, it would still be Nagelfar and The Ruins Of Beverast for me. Yeah, NagElfar and NOT the shitty Naglfar from Norway.
Other than that, the (old) Norwegian scene is good (both old and new Mayhem rule, but there are others. Just don't come with your crapy Tsjuder.). Sweden rules too. But overall, perhaps France would be my preferred BM country, though a lot of countries have a couple of good bands.
EDIT: Ha, and once again I couldn't resist posting on a forum I don't care about. This, my fourth sin, has been my last post here. After reading a few threads about metal on this forum, I have decided the general taste is pretty much shit (read: not compatible with mine, you political correct bastards). I'm not going to waste my energy trying to explain what heavy metal is about, to people who are going to forget about it as soon as they grow out of their puberty.
And there are two Naglfar's actually, one from Sweden and one from Norway.
I thought Naglfar was Swedish. I might be wrong. Yeah, I don't really like them that much it's just the first thing I think of. I don't have that much Black Metal because I don't like it very much.
