What a cute and smart pup! Can't wait to see more pics. Like others have said, follow your pup's pace. I don't know for sure, but it sounds like only working in "come" would hinder his mental growth. Just my thinking...
We feed Maddie Diamond Naturals Extreme Athlete. At 17 moths she is non-stop. When we rescued her she was a skinny 40 pounds. Nothing we fed would put weight on her (even though some suggested 5 CUPS daily!!), an most upset her stomach. We hear about Diamond Naturals from a friend and gave it a shot. She is finally up to a healthy 60 pounds and my vet raves about her body, skin and fur. It must be good, too, since it takes every ounce of restraint for her to sit until we tell her "ok". We never really looked at doing raw, so if you are looking at keeping kibble then it is one to consider.
Anyway, welcome to the forums from NE Ohio and we hope to see more pics of that sweet face!

|What a cutie!!!
|Welcome Aboard!!
I feed Fromm now, going from Blue Buffalo Wilderness and Nature's Recipe. All I can say, as far as kibble goes, Titan ate his other food just fine, but this is the first time I have see him ask me to be fed, and run to his food when I say "ok." I am happy with it. However, BB is a great food, I was just going through trial and error with my boy's picky nature.
As for traning, as long as your puppy is grasping things and catching on.. train as much as you'd like! It only becomes an issue when you are teaching things all at once without letting him get the idea of the first command. Ex.. initially we did training sessions throughout the day. One wouldbe all "sit" one would be all "stay" etc..
Such a cute lil guy though.. can't wait to see how he grows up!
Thank you so much! We take him to this puppy class at KP Koncepts in Glen Burnie, MD. It is a course that prepares them for obedience. Although it seems like a nice place the guy is a little head strong so I think we are going to do independent training. I think because he is our first I have been second guessing everything for my little guy lol He was originally on diamond and loved it but Petsmart doesn't carry it :/ As far as raw food, is there any specific brand I should try? Also, I heard it was better to have him lean until he is a bit older? Thank you sooo much for your input and sorry for having a million questions haha
Your puppy is very cute and no doubt very intelligent. Enjoy him and take pics as he will grow so quickly! [/QUOTE]
|Adorable! Welcome! My only advice is ask for advice whenever you're in doubt. There are many knowledgeable and opinionated people here.

|Welcome to the forum! I know Harley personally from our training class and he's awesome. Super happy to have you guys here!!

Harley is in puppy class but the instructor insists I only ask him to come no other commands. Of course this is the first I am hearing of this and Harley already knows sit paw down stay up and speak. He even knows the hand signals. After hearing this a month into the class I am now fearful he will have a hard time during obedience/ protection training which is what the trainer said. Any thoughts?
Your trainer says only work on come and yet your dog can do so much more. Now you are concerned but don't be. Do as much basic obedience as you can at this stage as long as it is all positive. You say you are in a class so maybe your trainer isn't even being mindful of your dog specifically as he says these things.
Is your class a petsmart type class or are you already at a private club? Are there other working breeds in the class? What are you aiming to do with your puppy?
I personally prefer raw but blue buffalo is a good brand if you stick with kibble. You sound like you really are a responsible owner and perhaps should reconsider raw. Once you start raw, it isn't difficult to do at all.
Your puppy is very cute and no doubt very intelligent. Enjoy him and take pics as he will grow so quickly!

I am currently looking for a cheap home studio flash kit. I have set up a corner of my office as a makeshift studio with table, and white sheet background. I am hoping to mainly take shots of our new baby. The flash units would only be about 1.5m from the subject because of space. Idealy i would like a twin head, one with umbrella and one with softbox, this is just so that I have the versatility to try different things. I have found the following possible kits:
http://www.interfitp.....ing index.htm
Do I need a wattage of 150W? or would 45W suffice? Although the 45W does not seem to have the facility to change the power control. I could use the 150W only on 1/32 power I suppose, but is this going to be just far too big?

San Francisco 49ers wide reciever Randy Moss was his usual honest self when he told the media that he does not like his role. "I like to be out there playing football," Moss added. The 49ers power run scheme isn't an ideal fit for the 35-year-old receiver. He caught 28 passes this season as a situational threat. The 49ers have leaned heavily on Michael Crabtree (85 catches this season) while Moss finished tied for fifth on the team. Moss also later said he was the greatest receiver to ever play the game.
Fantasy Analysis:
Moss has five receptions for 71 yards in San Francisco's two postseason games. While his career isn't technically over, how much is really left in the tank? Moss is scheduled to an unrestricted free agent in the offseason and it remains to be seen how much interest other teams might have for a player making negative comments about his team during Super Bowl week. There is a time and a place to let it be known you're going to hit the market, and in an interview before the Super Bowl isn't a great place for it.

A small percentage of the teenage population is homosexual. Aside from the normal stresses of adolescence, gay teens also have distinct health and psychosocial needs. Not all parents suspect or know that their son or daughter is gay, but those who do have a special responsibility for providing support and care. Parents, teachers, and doctors are all links in the chain that can provide support and encouragement for gay teenagers.
Medical Care That Is "User-Friendly"
If medical care is not user-friendly, gay teens just may do without. "One of the biggest concerns about healthcare in the minds of gay or lesbian teens is how they are going to be treated," says Bret Rudy, MD, a director of an adolescent HIV program.
While many gay or lesbian teens struggle with their sexual identities, they still have the same healthcare concerns as other teenagers. For gay young men, the risk of getting HIV is higher than that for most other teens. The risk adds significantly to the health "worry" burden that teenagers normally face.
Lack of empathy or harsh bedside manner potentially turns teens off not just to the doctor, but away from healthcare altogether. Gay teens need to feel relaxed because sexual information must be specific so the doctor can know if the teenager is at risk. Moreover, the doctor must also be specific in telling young men or women about the skills needed to protect themselves.
"Healthcare providers should have some understanding of sexual behavior to approach gay and lesbian teens and treat them appropriately," Dr. Rudy says. For example, young lesbian women may deny the need for birth control despite occasional sexual encounters with men. Only frank discussion between a teen and a doctor can identify important concerns and risks like this.
"A physician needs to take a very sensitive and complete medical and sexual history to be able to treat those kids appropriately," Dr. Rudy says.
Often, gay-and-lesbian friendly posters and brochures in a waiting room can be enough to put a teen at ease. Because many youths are still questioning and exploring their sexual identities, they may be ill at ease with the term "lesbian" or "gay." However, still other teens are farther along in their quest for sexual identity and may be comfortable using those terms to describe themselves. Most doctors avoid labeling and simply ask, "During your life, with whom have you had sexual contact?" The teen can answer none, males, females, or both.
Increased Physical and Emotional Health Risks
Sexually transmitted infections are an important risk for all teens, gay or straight. Male teens who are gay are particularly at risk for HIV because this infection is still common among older gay men. Condoms can help prevent transmission of HIV, but inexperienced teens may not know how to ensure that they are used properly. When a teen gets HIV, symptoms may not appear for many years. Counseling and testing can protect teens and help them to get proper treatment.
"Healthcare concerns for gay and lesbian teens are very hard to separate from psychosocial concerns," says Dr. Rudy. "Usually, teens go through stages where they just feel different from other kids. Then they go through stages of confusion about their emotional and physical attractions to people of the same sex where they're not at all sure what their actual orientation is."
All of this confusion can lead to emotional distress, anxiety, depression, and even suicide.
Gay teens are also concerned about bashing and emotional abuse at home and school in the years after coming out.
Importance of Support and Resources
"One of the best ways to help gay teens is to support them," Dr. Rudy says. "Have resources so they can talk about sexuality and offer an environment where physical or psychological abuse based on any kind of differences, whether it be gender, religious, or sexual, is not tolerated."
As the parent of a gay teen, you can help most by remaining open-minded and supportive. Love and warmth from supportive parents can work wonders as children face the challenge of growing up gay or lesbian in a straight world. Work with your son or daughter to find groups and associations where they can interact positively with people who understand their orientation.
One of the more important connections for gay and lesbian teens are gay-straight alliances. Gay kids need to know that not only other gay people care for them. They also need to know that straight people care for them and want to see them healthy.

Macro trends in technology and shifting customer behavior are giving rise to the connected business — which is not defined by technology but is rather a new style of doing business. CIOs will be responsible for introducing technology solutions that help break down silos, boost cross-team collaboration, drive the end-to-end customer experience, and engage more deeply with customers. In order to succeed, CIOs must go beyond technology enablement and support organizational and cultural transformation.
With Jeroen Tas, one of the most renowned technology visionaries in Europe, as its CIO, Philips made a number of strategic decisions to transform itself into a connected business. Forrester believes that CIOs should familiarize themselves with Philips' strategic, operational, and cultural transformation and learn from it, as Philips offers CIOs valuable lessons in planning the transition to a connected business:

Established in 2000, it is the highest award that can be made to a local community college benefactor for its dedication and commitment to a local community college. Gail Baity, Director of Workforce Development and Learning, Corning Incorporated, accepted the award at NYCCT's 59th Annual Conference and Award Presentation.
Corning Incorporated has played an instrumental role in the founding and continued development of Corning Community College. Over six decades ago, Corning Glass Works (now Corning Incorporated) envisioned an institution which would afford young people in their community the opportunity to earn a college education. Their vision, leadership, and generosity led to the formation of New York State's twelfth community college—Corning Community College. Since those formative years, and in each subsequent decade, Corning Incorporated has contributed immeasurable resources to the College's ongoing evolution and success.
Corning Community College's President, Dr. Katherine P. Douglas, expressed her appreciation: "We would like to acknowledge and thank the many executives, employees, and family members of Corning Incorporated, Corning Incorporated Foundation, and Corning Enterprises who have contributed—and continue to contribute—their vision, inspiration, leadership, resources, and direction to this College and to this community." She added, "We truly appreciate the growth, success, and transformation that the Corning Incorporated Foundation has made possible and the tens of thousands of lives it has helped transform in this region."

Will not play sound on Windows 7. Sometimes there is a split second of sound when first clicking the play button. Tried every preference and audio format. Recorded vid on iPhone 5. After saving, VLC and other media players sometimes report "no decoder for audio" on playback depending on audio format choice, though no formats produce sound. It is too bad, this looks like a really great open source package! If we were still in the "silent era"!

Notable Facts The desirable aspects of Mourvèdre as a blending grape are good color (from thick skins), high acid and high tannins. These attributes offset the lighter color, lower acid and lower tannins of its Rhone (and sometimes Australian & Spanish) partner, Grenache. The grape likes warmer climates, but has tight bunches so benefits from the cool winds commonly found in areas where it grows best. Spicy and gamey are typical terms related to Mourvèdre. It's not as often bottled as a single variety, but parts of Spain and California are successfully doing just that - the results are delicious.

"Going to school South of Chicago, I have a different recipe for Italian beef. Take a round roast (the restaurants use the entire "steamship" round, and lace it liberally with garlic slivers, then cover liberally with ground mace, then with dried oregano leaves and add cracked red pepper (about 2 ts for a 4 lb roast). bake in a baking bag until tender, slice and put in a pot with the juices from the baking bag, ad enough water just to cover, and simmer for 1/2 hour covered. Check salt and serve on torpedo rolls with peperoncini on the side. Just like the restaurants serve, enjoy."

I would suggest that if your purpose is purely political then the IRS has all kinds of reasons to throughly look into your tax exempt APPLICATION throughly no matter if you are right, left or middle of the road politically. The other overlooked FACTS is that the people largely funding these organization seem to have a long history of buying politicians that they know they can control without ever showing their own face to the public. This essentially becomes just another means to buy certain politicians with no public exposure and still have the right to write the contribution (no matter how large) off of your income tax as a deduction.
... tecumseh... some folks have no problem speaking out of both sides of their mouth with out recognizing their own hypocrisy. I would suggest that if your purpose is purely political then the IRS has all kinds of reasons to thoroughly look into your tax exempt APPLICATION thoroughly no matter if you are right, left or middle of the road politically....

Hands off Medicare, Social Security
You wake up feeling good then you read the paper. More bad news for senior citizens. I have heard the rumors however it may soon be a reality. In 2009 we heard rumors that seniors would not get a cost of living raise and we didn't believe it. Surely they wouldn't do that to us. Well, those fools in Washington did it to us.
At a time when we already have a shortage of good doctors — and good doctors are as rare as pink diamonds — Congress has plans to cut Medicare payments to doctors 23 percent. Many doctors already refuse to take new Medicare patients and this will get worse.
Those who will suffer the most are the elderly. It was in 2009 that Congress claimed seniors would not get a cost of living raise in 2010 or 2011. They said the cost of living had not gone up so seniors on Social Security didn't need a raise. They must think we are a bunch of dumb fools because even a moron knew almost everything was going up. In fact, it would be hard to name something that wasn't going up.
I wish Congress would look some place else to solve the financial problems. Their stupid decisions and do-nothing reasoning for the past 30 years got us into this mess.
What seniors all over this great country should do is put in your hearing aids and false teeth, get your canes and wheel chairs and scooters. Charter buses, drive, fly, but head for Washington and tell them loud and clear: We have had it up to here. Leave us alone.
Jerry M. Cooke Sr.
COLA needed
Why is it that the first thing that comes to their (government) minds is always cut Social Security and Medicare, which about 90 percent of senior citizens rely on for everything — rent, food and medicines — all the needed things to get by on? Everything keeps getting costlier and the check never meets everything.
The government never missed taking it out of our paychecks and now they don't want to give is a cost of living increase to help make it with higher rent, costlier food and medicine, yet they keep increasing their own pay every year. Why don't they cut their big salaries in half or even work for $1 a year?
They fight over getting into government, they know there are big bucks in it for them and they promise you everything and deliver nothing in return. Why do we keep believing they mean what they say? I pray all the new Republicans mean what they say and don't take away our rights to what was taken out of our checks all our working days.
I pray there's no one going hungry or living on the streets because of the greed that's in Washington, D.C. Thieves, bribes and crooks — you name it, we have it in Washington, D.C.
Why do people keep voting for them? They are a disgrace to our country, yet they get up in public and brag on themselves. No shame at all. We need and deserve a cost of living raise every year to keep up with higher prices.

Airbus (Toulouse, France) reported on March 13 that structural assembly of the first A350 XWB aft fuselage destined for the first flying A350 XWB (MSN1) has been completed at Airbus' manufacturing site in Hamburg, Germany. The fuselage section will undergo its secondary interior structural assembly and system installation before being delivered to the A350 XWB final assembly line in Toulouse (France).
Airbus has developed an innovative process for assembling this part of the A350 XWB fuselage, which optimizes production efficiency and quality. The rear fuselage barrel is used as a guide and support for assembling the four aft fuselage panels (two lateral, one upper, one lower) and floor grid, which together form the aft fuselage. This assembly method differs from other Airbus programs where the panels and floor grid are first assembled into a full barrel, to which the rear fuselage section is subsequently joined.
The 20m/66-ft long carbon fiber A350 XWB aft fuselage is made up of the rear fuselage barrel, produced at Airbus' Getafe plant (Spain), two lateral aft fuselage panels made by Premium AEROTEC (Germany) plus the upper and lower aft fuselage panels manufactured by Airbus in Stade (Germany).

The following is a blog entry written by former UGA men's basketball player Connor Nolte, who is currently pursuing an internship with the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) in Colorado Springs, Colo.
By Connor Nolte, UGA '12
My name is Connor Nolte and I spent the last 3 years at UGA playing basketball for Coach Fox, but now it is time for me to enter the real world. I applied for an internship with the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) during our season. I remember having a phone interview on the day we flew to play LSU and finding out that I got the job while we were in New Orleans for the SEC tournament.
The first 6 weeks of my internship have flown by. I work in the digital media department at the USOC headquarters in downtown Colorado Springs and live ten minutes away at the Olympic Training Center (OTC) alongside world class athletes.
Its been extra busy here with the London 2012 games rapidly approaching but that means I've been able to work on some really cool projects. Here are some of the things I've been doing:
-Instagram: I made it a priority to help Team USA launch its Instagram account from Day 1. We launched it a week after I got here and, as of right now, we have 6500+ followers. You can check out the account here.
-YouTube: The USOC launched its YouTube Channel right when I arrived. I've been able to help out by occasionally uploading or tagging content we post. One of my favorite parts of my job is related to YouTube; whenever producers come on campus to shoot videos with Olympians, I get to escort the production crews. I've met some great people who have put together some great videos. I was on set for the filming of this video of Jordan Burroughs, a wrestler who has a great shot at winning the gold medal in London
-TeamUSA.org: My department is responsible for Team USA's website. My fellow intern, Sarah Higgins (also a blogger), and I have been posting a good percentage of the content that goes up on the site. We receive the content from the writers and make sure it looks good when it gets up on the site. A major undertaking has been Athlete Biographies. Every time an athlete qualifies, one of us adds him/her to the list of qualifiers. We are constantly working on the bios adding photos and updating the text. I do the photos, Sarah does the text. I'd say that the coolest part of my job was creating the bio for UGA's Shannon Vreeland who will be representing the USA in swimming.
In case you're wondering, I haven't played too much basketball since our season ended. The one time that I did play basketball here was a pretty cool experience. Coach Donovan from Florida was coaching the USA U18 team full of some of the best rising seniors/incoming freshmen in the country. They were scrimmaging the Air Force Academy and Air Force needed an extra player in the second half. I was a little rusty but went 2 for 2 from the floor for 4 points and did pretty well given the circumstances.
Like I said, it is a great time to be here with London 2012 approaching. Last night there was a sendoff for USA Boxing. They were taking pictures with fans and signing posters. It was a cool experience to wish them luck in London. They are probably the nicest athletes out here. They have some amazing stories and I can't wait to watch them compete. I was there for most of the interviews used in this piece on 3-time Olympian Rau'Shee Warren's childhood.
We recently went over our plan for the games and it is going to be a busy but exciting time. Unfortunately, I will not be travelling to London. I will be in Colorado posting stories and watching the events on TV. There was a company-wide town hall meeting last week before everyone started heading to London to prepare. They started off showing a slide with all of the new employees. Patrick Sandusky, head of communications, picked my name out of a list of about 50 people and had me stand up and said, "Typically we have some of our interns sing their fight song when they're hired. Go ahead." I've never sung a single note in public before. It was fight or flight. I could either be a good sport and play along or be too cool and sit back down. I "sang" five words "Glory, Glory to ole Georgia", sat down, and turned bright red. But if I have to sing anything in front of an entire company there are no other words I'd rather sing!

William Gallas "has a chance" of playing in Wednesday's Champions League Quarter-Final with Barcelona.
The return of the French centre back is a surprise after missing the last eight games with a calf injury. However the 32-year-old has been back in training for three days and, according to Arsène Wenger, he is in decent physical shape.
"Gallas is in the squad," said the manager at Tuesday's press conference. "I have not picked the team yet but he has a chance.
"He looks physically quite good. He has had three days training and I will now have to have a chat with him and then decide.
"But," he added later, "Sol Campbell has played many games recently and a little breather would be welcome."
Elsewhere, Cesc Fabregas has a "40 per cent" chance of playing after suffering severe bruising to his leg at Birmingham on Saturday. In addition Andrey Arshavin and Samir Nasri have recovered from small knocks and should be involved.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

can you save songs from the FM tuner onto the MP3 player?
I have had many sansas in the past two years (usually the e250). And from what I can tell, they are pretty solid. They usually have FM tuners, they cheap, so you don't feel like you have to be overprotective with them, and they have good sound quality.
I might add, they they are all (the ones I have used/owned) compatible with mac, but not in the same way as, say, an iPod. You must put it into usb disk mode, plug it in, copy mp3's to the mounted disk, and eject. It really isn't as seamless as iTunes sync. But it still is relatively simple.
I have never tried their windows software, so I have nothing to say in regards to that.

I wish I got one of these in my bagel or crepe! But I really loved the watch! Thanks woot!
here is a Youtube review of the 2 gig version.
Buying a Sansa, in any form, is practically an unwritten bylaw of woot. Go in for three and you will be part of the club. (Yes, there is a secret handshake, but you have to buy the Sansa first.)
I already have too many mp3 players. But this is the Fuze, for less than what most sites charge for the clip. Woot, why must you tempt me so?
yeawuteva wrote:can you save songs from the FM tuner onto the MP3 player?
...to go with the earbuds you just bought...
What's the lifespan of a refurbed Sansa? I'm thinking of actually buying this one, but I don't want to if it's gonna die in a year.
I have two of these. They are my favorite little MP3 players, and my companion on many a flight and drive.
Unlike many players they actually do audio books more or less right, starting from the point they were last stopped.
The battery life has not been quite as good as the 24 hours claimed, but still better than most players I have had.
Tempted to stock up with another, against the day when mine die...
New one for sale via deals.woot...same price.
Can anybody tell me what kind of cord I should buy to hook up the sansa to an LCDTV?
Oh, here's a ton of good reviews on Amazon
Got one of these (2GB, version 1) on a previous woot, and I am totally in love. I roll with Rockbox, which I totally recommend.
Also, accessories for the Fuze, such as hard cases, rubber cases, car chargers, screen protectors, etc., are all dirt cheap around the interwebs.
Some people complain about the smallish screen. I just caught up on Castle, Fringe and Lie to Me on mine with no eye strain! If it's too small just hold it closer to your head.
If you like to listen to music/radio the Fuze will not disappoint.
The one thing I don't like is that videos have to be converted to some sort of secret sansa format. Other than that, I've been pleased with it. I traded up from the Sansa Clip.
EdTerrific wrote:New one for sale via deals.woot...same price.
That's the Sansa Clip. It's a nice little player, but with a tiny LCD screen.
xazothia wrote:What's the lifespan of a refurbed Sansa? I'm thinking of actually buying this one, but I don't want to if it's gonna die in a year.
Luck of the draw, I believe. I got two 2GB refurb Clips here at least a year back, and they are still going strong. And I believe two refurb E200's a year before that via buy.com, again with no issues with 1+ years of use (I eventually sold the E200's).
Does anyone have any clue whether these would be V1 or V2? I don't want one if I can't put Rockbox on it...
I have two of these players, and this price is WELL worth it. You can add a microSD to the player, and double the memory. Outstanding deal.
atkinson217 wrote:Yes
jn082105 wrote:Can anybody tell me what kind of cord I should buy to hook up the sansa to an LCDTV?
um... none. Pretty sure the Fuze does not output video. Also, it only handles one video format. You must convert videos using the (free and crappy) Sansa Media Converter or (if using Rockbox) the free WinFF. My point is, the supported formats are really low resolution. Unless you like watching videos where each pixel is a centimeter across, outputting to a LCDTV is a bad idea.
In every other respect, the Fuze is great.
Ahh, thanks Woot I've been waiting for this. I ordered two back in August and they're great. One for me (24) and one for my mother (54) and it fits both out needs. Easy menus and easy controls for large fingered individuals such as myself.
I tried three cheap MP3 players before this attempting to find something my mother could figure out. She loves it so much this is a backup in case hers breaks.
If this is from the same batch as before they might be V1, which means you can install Rockbox firmware on it if you want. (http://www.rockbox.org/)
Anyway, here's the discussion from August... There might be something useful somewhere in it:

The video converting is an absolute NIGHTMARE. I think I finally got it to work for my brother's, but it took forever. So unless someone on here would like to post a link to a good tutorial about how to get videos into the right format, I wouldn't recommend buying this if what you really want to do is watch videos.
EDIT: Apparently someone has finally found a way to make the video converting not quite as much of a nightmare. Keep reading down through the other posts, or go to the quality post links at the top of the page.
yeawuteva wrote:how?
I'm not sure how to explain it simply. Recording from FM is easy with both the default firmware and the much more awesome Rockbox firmware. Both also let you record from voice.
Will these play Ogg without Rockbox(since it's not obvious if this is the V1 or V2)?
Bought my wife the 8gb version of this from Costco for Christmas, new for $54.99. She loves it, Listens to audio books. Battery life excellent, and she can resume her book from where she left off, Her last Sansa would not do that. Very happy with it, great product.
wow. there's definitely some woot space monkey business going on here.
look at the supplementary photos: the black LEFT side is exactly like the blue RIGHT side (except the color), and vice versa.
maybe one of them went through some kind of space warp thingy, huh?
i'm left handed... (and i have a mac)
- which one do i want?
now i'm all confused.
I've bought three refurbed Sansas from Woot, one of the e200's and two of the clips (one is packed away in case the first one dies). All have been great and still get used regularly. My girlfriend loves the clip.
In fact, I borrowed it just this week for a business trip and really liked it as well, which has me thinking of getting one of these since it seems to be the best of both the larger model (bigger screen and photo/video support) and smaller model (size).
Without a doubt, go for it. I grabbed the refurb 8GB Clip a month ago for $38 shipped, and couldn't be happier.
A repeated deal of 1/6/2010 (same price):
Also, while I really like the sansas, I prefer red LEDs. Has anyone ever tried to mod one with red LEDs instead of blue? If so, how difficult is it?
What about a custom OS/firmware with better format support like with the e200?
edit: I see Rockbox has already been mentioned.
I need something to tide me over for a few months until I can upgrade my phone to an Android phone and this looks like it can fit the bill.
In for 3!
Can't beat these for sound quality (after getting better headphones).
Easy to use, lightweight, and expandable via SD card.
What a great gift!
bhcompy wrote:Will these play Ogg without Rockbox(since it's not obvious if this is the V1 or V2)?
Yes! FLAC too!
My family bought two of these a year and a half ago. One of them only lasted a couple months with heavy use, but it was being used by my brother, who I think tends to be a bit rough on his electronics. The other one is still going, but it isn't used very often. But the thing about them being offered for $35 is that even if it does die after a year, you've still gotten a pretty good deal.

Conor Henderson has pledged to help Zak Ansah as he recovers from a serious knee injury.
The 17-year-old striker is facing a spell on the sidelines after sustaining the injury in the Reserves' 1-1 draw at Liverpool in March.
Henderson - who recently returned to action after eight months out with a cruciate knee ligament problem - says he will pass on any advice that the teenager needs.
"Zak is a young lad, so I will make sure I look after him and ensure he remains positive and focused on what he has to do [to recover]," he told the Official Arsenal Magazine.

Climate Insensitivity
One of the biggest problems with this method is that it assumes that the climate system has only one "time scale," and that time scale determines its long-term, equilibrium response to changes in climate forcing. But the global heat budget has many components, which respond faster or slower to heat input: the atmosphere, land, upper ocean, deep ocean, and cryosphere all act with their own time scales. The atmosphere responds quickly, the land not quite so fast, the deep ocean and cryosphere very slowly. In fact, it's because it takes so long for heat to penetrate deep into the ocean that most climate scientists believe we have not yet experienced all the warming due from the greenhouse gases we've already emitted [Hansen et al. 2005].
Schwartz's analysis depends on assuming that the global temperature time series has a single time scale, and modelling it as a linear trend plus an AR(1) process. There's a straightforward way to test at least the possibility that it obeys the stated assumption. If the linearly detrended temperature data really do behave like an AR(1) process, then the autocorrelation at lag Δt which we can call r(Δt), will be related to the time constant τ by the simple formula
r(Δt)= exp{-Δt/τ}.
In that case,
τ = – Δt / ln(r),
for any and all lags Δt. This is the formula used to estimate the time constant τ.
And what, you wonder, are the estimated values of the time constant from the temperature time series? Using annual average temperature anomaly from NASA GISS (one of the data sets Schwartz uses), after detrending by removing a linear fit, Schwartz arrives at his Figure 5g:
Using the monthly rather than annual averages gives Schwartz's Figure 7:
If the temperature follows the assumed model, then the estimated time constant should be the same for all lags, until the lag gets large enough that the probable error invalidates the result. But it's clear from these figures that this is not the case. Rather, the estimated τ increases with increasing lag. Schwartz himself says:
As seen in Figure 5g, values of τ were found to increase with increasing lag time from about 2 years at lag time Δt = 1 yr, reaching an asymptotic value of about 5 years by about lag time Δt= 8 yr. As similar results were obtained with various subsets of the data (first and second halves of the time series; data for Northern and Southern Hemispheres, Figure 6) and for the de-seasonalized monthly data, Figure 7, this estimate of the time constant would appear to be robust.
If the time series of global temperature really did follow an AR(1) process, what would the graphs look like? We ran 5 simulations of an AR(1) process with a 5-year time scale, generating monthly data for 125 years, then estimated the time scale using Schwartz's method. We also applied the method to GISTEMP monthly data (the results are slightly different from Schwartz's because we used data through July 2007). Here's how they compare:
This makes it abundantly clear that if temperature did follow the stated assumption, it would not give the results reported by Schwartz. The conclusion is inescapable, that global temperature cannot be adequately modeled as a linear trend plus AR(1) process.
You probably also noticed that for the simulated AR(1) process, the estimated time scale is consistently less than the true value (which for the simulations, is known to be exactly 5 years, or 60 months), and that the estimate decreases as lag increases. This is because the usual estimate of autocorrelation coefficients is a biased estimate. The word "bias" is used in its statistical sense, that the expected result of the calculation is not the true value. As the lag gets higher, the impact of the bias increases and the estimated time scale decreases. When the time series is long and the time scale is short, the bias is negligible, but when the time scale is any significant fraction of the length of the time series, the bias can be quite large. In fact, both simulations and theoretical calculations demonstrate that for 125 years of a genuine AR(1) process, if the time scale were 30 years (not an unrealistic value for global climate), we would expect the estimate from autocorrelation values to be less than half the true value.
Earlier in the paper, the AR(1) assumption is justified by regressing each year's average temperature anomaly against the previous year's and studying the residuals from that fit:

What's your cleaning rig?
I use M-Pro7 solvent and it cleans the whole slide on my Glock: Spray and wipe down. For the tight areas, I use a tooth pick and wrap cloth around it.
For the frame/reciever, I just use soap and water. Dip an old tooth brush with soap, scrub the internals and externals and water it down. Lastly, I blow dry the whole thing. Maybe an air compressor (hair dryer) would help.

The message it sends to me is: Look at us, we can do anything we want and are above the law. You peons however are required to follow these laws or be subject to the fines and penalties associated with them. Pretty cut and dry if you ask me.
so I am guessing that no one here has ever broken the law?
all i need to know is what the man's wife said. "for the first time in my adult life i'm proud of my country"what more does anyone need to judge this man ? he has no interest in what is happening, only what he can "change".

At Apple's event today in New York, Apple unveiled iBooks2, a new version of its iBooks software that is tailored to interactive textbooks, and iBooks Author, an app that makes it free and simple to create interactive textbooks for the iPad.
There are already thousands of digital textbooks available on the iPad, as well as on other devices like PCs and Barnes & Noble's Nook Tablet. But as my colleague Annie Corbett and I have written, e-textbooks are a transitional product, accounting for only 2.8% of the $8 billion US higher education textbook market in 2010, according to the National Association of College Stores. The vast majority of digital textbooks are not very innovative; they're essentially print replicas with digital extensions like highlighting, search, and annotation. The iPad — which now outsells Macs in schools, according to Apple — is capable of much more than what has previously been produced, and Apple hasn't been satisfied with the status quo. Today, Apple demonstrated iBooks2, a new textbook experience for the iPad; these new textbooks can be created using iBooks Author. iBooks2 will solve two product strategy problems for publishers:

An innovative new access route to higher education designed to give adult learners the chance to experience research-led teaching first-hand and progress towards studying a degree in archaeology or history has been launched by the University.
Exploring the Past is a new part-time foundation pathway into the University's School of History, Archaeology and Religion that has been developed to help people of all ages and from diverse backgrounds to realise their ambition to study at degree level.
The foundation pathway combines Continuing & Professional Education's experience of progressing and supporting adult learners with the internationally recognised research and teaching expertise in the School of History, Archaeology and Religion.
Exploring the Past will help participants understand more about their origins, identity and the nature of modern day society with teaching covering everything from pre-historic societies to ancient civilizations, medieval institutions to twentieth-century politics and culture.
As well as enhancing their understanding of the past and developing writing, reading and interpretation skills, all students successfully completing the course will automatically qualify for an interview for either a full-time or part-time degree scheme in the School of History, Archaeology and Religion.
Dr David Wyatt foundation pathway co-ordinator commented: "I am really excited about Exploring the Past! We have an amazing programme of courses lined up that are bound together by some very big themes like conceptions of power, gender, religion, national identities and, of course, the uses and relevance of history today.
"Exploring the Past is specifically for adults returning to education, it allows them to study within a time-scale, framework and environment designed to specifically cater for their needs. Most importantly our courses have the potential to contribute directly towards a degree: students successfully completing the pathway and interview can enter into their first year of undergraduate study having already completed half of it.
"The foundation pathway courses are free for individuals claiming benefits who have not previously studied at degree level. So Exploring the Past provides an ideal opportunity for the unemployed to re-skill and gain a higher education qualification in the humanities. I wish something like this had been available when I came to university as a mature student!"
Exploring the Past is made up of six 10 credit courses and is equivalent to 50% of the first year of a degree. The course will start on Thursday 14th October, 7-9pm in room 3.58, Humanities Building, Colum Drive, Cardiff. To reserve a place or for more information, please call Dr David Wyatt on 02920 870404 or at Continuing & Professional Education on 02920 870000.
