Addendum
One thing I would suggest, since you only have a week, is to concentrate on one area of Ireland. I'm not sure how set your plans are, but despite the relatively small size of the island, it is pretty tough getting around. 30 miles can take 2 hours in some areas -- esp. those areas w/o good roads.
I love the west -- Galway, Clare, and Kerry especially.
The best route to get to Galway from Shannon is to go through Co. Clare -- Clare is one of my favorite counties. (BTW, buy a map -- the Irish are renowned for poor markings of roads and confusing directions). You have to see the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. Lahinch and Lisdoonvarna are neat little towns.
Galway is a really neat city. There are a number of things to do in Galway, but I would suggest wondering to nearby places -- Spiddal is about 20 miles west and is where the main Gaelic language school is located. The Kylemore Abbey is one of the most beautiful settings anywhere -- an castle on a clear lake surrounded by mountains. Clifden is a fun town -- one of the few places in the west that Cromwell thought worthy of colonizing. The Aran Islands are great -- but it is most likely going to take up a full day -- it is like going back in time. Buy an Aran sweater (you can get a nice one for around $40 -- a really nice one for over $200). Head to the American Bar on Inis Moor if you go -- you'll run into people of about 10-15 different nationalities. Padraic Pearse's (leader of the Easter Rising) cottage is near Galway. One thing about the area of Connemara (western Galway and Mayo) is that you are in the Gaeltacht -- Gaelic is the first language of most people in this region. They speak English, but converse with their friends and family in Gaelic.
When you head to Kilarney, make sure you do the Ring of Kerry around the Iveragh Peninsula if you have the time -- it will take a couple days at least, but it is incredible. Cahirciveen is a decent little town -- one of the best restaurants in that area is the Point -- incredible view of Dingle. Daniel O'Connell (father of Catholic Emancipation) is from nearby -- the Catholic church is named after him in fact. The Dingle peninsula is also beautiful.
While in Dublin, visit the Guinness Brewery and the Gravity Bar for the best pint you will ever have. Or check out Jameson's distillery. If you are into history, check out the General Post Office -- site of the Easter Rebellion; Kilmainham Gaol -- where numerous nationalists have been imprisoned; Clondalkin Round Tower; numerous castles -- Howth, Malahide, Drimnagh; Trinity College -- the Book of Kells is incredible, but the line might be a tad long. There are a number of walking tours that aren't too bad, but I prefer to see things on my own. Some fun bars include Chancery Inn (traditional music on weekends), the Auld Dubliner, Foley's, Stag's Head, Mulligan's, or O'Donaghue's. A great deal will depend on what part of the city you are staying. If you are into literature, there are a number of pub/literary tours that can be fun -- the Joyce one is particularly good.
Dublin can be pretty expensive, esp. lodging. You might want to get rid of the rental car when you get to Dublin -- parking is tough.

Atkins Diet
There is a ton of information on the web about the official Atkins Diet.
Here's a good site for counting carbs.
A popular alternative to the strict Atkins Diet is a hybrid low-carb, high-protein diet. Here's the plan as described by gmurphy:
(1) Cut out alcohol for a month. A month is a good period of time for which to do so, as it is finite and one can count down the last days.
(2) Cut out starches for a month. Corn, rice, potatoes, beans, breads of all kinds.
(3) Add 100 ounces of water to your daily intake of fluids. This means figure out how much you drink in a given day, and add 100 ounces to that.
(4) Cut out sweets for a month. No candy, cookies, ice cream, soda/cola/pop etc.
(5) Cut from 3 meals per day to 2. I was close to this anyway, but I essentially cut a muffin out of my mornings. On the weekends, I had late breakfasts of meat, eggs and fruit.
(6) No coffee for a month.
(7) No snacking between meals. If you must snack, peanuts and cashews and raisins.
(8) Do not count carbs, calories, or anything else. Cutting your intake down to 2 meals a day - with no excess calories from sweets, no excess starches other than those in fruits/veggies, and the water "flushing" through your body, you'll lose weight.
After a month, see how much weight you've lost and figure out how serious you want to be from that point forward. I was rather happy. I also found that I preferred the way I feel when I'm on the diet. However, I did want to reintroduce some carbs. So now I drink beers on the weekends, eat pasta once a week, and have sweets now and then. I have salads or roasted chicken for lunch (or sometimes just fruit and peanuts). But I have a "normal" dinner, albeit without a starch. If I'm going to have something "bad," I make the most of it: Krispy Kreme donut instead of Starbuck's bagel.
The most important thing is training your mind and body to not desire the starchy and sweet foods. It takes a month to do that. Once you've done it, though, you can go back whenever you want (that is, when your weight is creeping up on you) without feeling like you've blown your diet. Chances are, you'll be like me and it will be more of a new nutritional plan than a one-time diet...
HDTV/Tivo/iPods
When it comes to questions about HDTV or home theater equipment in general, the AVS forum is the best place to find an answer.
As for Tivo, any question you can think of has probably already been asked and answered at TivoCommunity.com.
iTunes-- the free software-- can rip CDs to any of a number of formats, including MP3. Its default setting is to rip to a format called AAC-- essentially a newer MP4 format.
iPods, which sync most easily with the iTunes software, can play music stored in any format, including AAC and MP3. Most other portable music players do not play AAC files, but only play MP3.
The iTunes Music Store-- accessible through the iTunes software-- sells songs that download in a Protected AAC format. The raw purchased file will play on any computer, and can be burned to a CD to play in any stereo, but the only portable player the raw file will play on is the iPod.
Songs purchased from the iTMS-- the protected AAC files-- can be burned to an audio CD. That CD can then be re-ripped to a computer in any format you desire-- including unprotected AAC, and MP3. The new file has no protection or restrictions at all. This is all perfectly legal as well.
Some people think that taking an AAC file, burning to CD (which does not degrade the quality) then re-ripping to MP3 format (which uses a different kind of compression) degrades the quality of the sound. They're probably right. That is the trade-off to get the format you want.
Digital Cameras
Before purchasing a digital camera, it is very important for you to
consider how it is that you're going to be using it. Do you want something
small and stylish, always available in the briefcase or purse? Do you want
something with a longer zoom, and more manual controls? Do you want to
take pictures of kids and puppies scampering about the house, and need
fast response? Or do you mostly take landscapes and not really care
because the mountain isn't going anywhere? Are you really only ever going
to make 4x6 inch prints, or are you going to want to make a 11x14 or 13x19
to show off your artistic side? The answers to these questions should help
guide you in what direction you should go.
Digital cameras basically come in 3 different types: the compact or ultra
compact, the more "prosumer" type, and a digital SLR (single-lens reflex).
In general, the cameras in all types are shipping in the 3MP(megapixel)
range all the way up to the 7 to 8MP range. Do NOT get yourself caught up
in the megapixels hype! Sure, a 7 MP camera will have more absolute
resolution than a 3 MP camera, but if you're only going to make 4x6
pictures, you'll NEVER notice the difference! I'm going to go on record
here as saying the way you process your images in the editing software of
your choice has a LOT to do with the way you're prints are going to look.
(Hint: Unsharp Mask is your best friend and a filter found in any of the
Photoshop full versions or Photoshop Elements, 2.0-3.0 which ships free
sometimes, or similar Paint Shop, etc.. ) I've made professional quality
11x14 inch prints from a 4 MP camera that are capable of being sold as
artwork; looking like they came from a high resolution film camera. I've
also gone as high as 13 x19 inches from the same 4MP camera with results
99% of you would be delighted with, and I find completely acceptable. So,
to simplify: 3 MP = fantastic 8x10, 4MP = fantastic 11x14. Anything more
is just gravy for most people, but those extra megapixels give you the
option to crop your photos heavily (zoom in) and still maintain that
superior quality. And I'll go on record here as saying that a 8x10 size
photograph is absolutely HUGE for most people. For example, my Mom puts
4x6's(maybe a rare 5x7) in frames around the house, never larger.
The compact/ subcompact segment consists of small to unbelievably small
"point and shoot" type cameras. Most people get something like this and
simply turn it on and off, shooting primarily in Auto mode, and get great
snapshots. These cameras have been designed to be foolproof to use and to
download onto your computer. You can buy models which are utilitarian and
plastic; there's also stylish stainless steel models for the "gadget
lover" in you, the person with the latest tiniest cell phone in the
office, etc. Pros: size, portability, ease of use. Cons: limited features,
VERY limited flash, short zooms or no zooms.
The "prosumer" segment of cameras consists of larger , more fully featured
cameras. They usually have long to VERY long zooms, quick start-up times
and very short shutter lag, and higher resolution/megapixels. Some of
these cameras have the equivalent of a 28mm-300mm "35mm film camera" lens
built right in. What a convenience! You'll be able to reach out and grab
shots of Junior playing shortstop from your seat in the bleachers with no
problem at all! Also, more importantly, the shutter lag has been shortened
drastically, so you don't miss those perfect moments anymore. Those of you
who have tried to take pictures of kids or pets with your digital camera
know what I'm talking about. By the time the camera actually focuses and
fires, you've missed the moment! Well, the manufacturers have really
addressed this problem, and some of the cameras are much faster now. BUT,
seek out some info about the camera you want, and it also doesn't hurt to
actually try it out in the store. In addition, you also get a full
complement of manual controls and overides, so the more adventurous and
artistic of you can control your images more. The same rules apply with
megapixels as does above. Buy what you need; but it certainly doesn't hurt
to have more.
The digital SLR segment consists of SLR (single lens reflex) cameras. A
SLR camera is the type of camera you may have used when you took a photo
class in school; or the kind you imagine professionals using when you see
them on TV or at a wedding. The great advantage of these cameras is you
are looking directly through the lens which is taking the picture; you
focus, frame, and see exactly what you're going to get! These cameras have
the advantage of multiple interchangeable lenses, flashes, and
accessories. It is exciting what has happened in this segment. You can now
get an amazing 6 MP SLR camera from a couple of manufacturers for under
$1000(even more like $800) that will do ANYTHING you could possibly want
from your camera. The BEST part though is the absolutely instantaneous
shutter release and focusing mechanism. Getting great shots of your pets
or action shots of the kids are no longer a problem with the "what you see
is what you get" aspect of these cameras. These digital SLR's were once
only the domain of working professionals, but the price has dropped so
drastically that it is not a stretch at all for the typical ND person
hanging around here to consider one. It is my strong opinion that you
should look at one of these cameras BEFORE you go ahead and spend the $500
-$800 or so on an all-in-one prosumer model as discussed above; that is if
you are indeed looking in this price range.
Some other considerations:
-Buy a case, and use it. There are small, stylish cases out there that
don't get in the way at all, and these small compacts and ultracompacts do
not take kindly to being dropped...not even once. I cannot tell you how
many of these I saw come in for repair, simply as a result of being
dropped, sat on, etc. Of particular concern is the delicate lens mechanism
on these cameras; try not to bump the lens or force it at all. I will tell
you that the manufacturers do not cover impact damage, especially visible
impact damage. If you have it in a case and it falls, maybe it stops
working...but there's no "visible" impact for the repair place to quarrel
over. I will also tell you the manufacturers will want $150 or so to
repair that $200 camera you just broke...so in most cases, it's not even
worth it to make the repair. You go get a new one.
-Continuing on this theme, it's a good thing to have a full 1 Year
manufacturer's warranty on these cameras, so check with the salesperson
and inside the box. I can't tell you how many I've seen come in that just
"failed' or stopped working for no apparent reason whatsover. Think of
them as little computers. Beware: there's one highly regarded name brand
out there that begins with a "S" that only gives a 90 day warranty on its
cameras; they make a good stylish product, but that warranty policy
precludes their products with me. I'll also say I didn't see too many of
that brand come in for repair either, so take that for what it's worth.
Also, there's no need to purchase the extended warranty if offered to you
by the store, unless you're going higher end. Those warranties are HUGE
profit makers for the sales staff and store. If something is going to go
wrong, it will usually go wrong within the warranty. If it's past a year
or longer, the lower segment of the market changes so rapidly that you
just go buy something that has more megapixels, is faster, is smaller, and
3/4 of the price you paid for your last camera!
-Beware of "digital zoom", as it is a misleading feature. You want
"optical" zooming only, and want to disable the digital zoom feature on
your camera if possible. All digital zoom is doing is cropping in on the
center part of your photo digitally; basically the same effect as zooming
and cropping the Jpeg later in the image editor of your choice! It
magnifies the pixels, and results in image degradation. It is a false and
misleading feature, designed simply as a selling point. Turn this off, and
crop your photos later on.
-Try and shoot at the lowest ISO speed rating you can. That generally
means anywhere from 50-100 speed. As you go up in "film" speed, the pixels
become noisier, more magnified, "pixelated", "grainier"; very similar to
the way film gets grainier as you go up in speed. There is a big trade off
in quality as you go up in sensitivity. Most of you will just leave the
ISO setting on Auto, but you'll get better color and "smoothness"if you
can capture the same photo at the lowest speed setting possible.
-If you're looking at point and shoot types, consider buying cameras which
use cheap readily available batteries such as AA's. You'll be able to grab
a set of short-lasting alkaline batteries in a pinch. You'll also be able
to buy inexpensive, long lasting rechargeable NiMH AA's which you can use
in any number of devices around the house in addition to the camera! You
can get a charger with 4 batteries, and an extra set to always be ready.
Try and find the highest mah rated batteries you can find. Current tech
batteries are now in the 2300mah + range. The manufacturers don't put a
"cell phone" type battery in these cameras because of cost. At the lower
price point, the customer doesn't want to pay $50 for a spare battery,
when you can get cheapo rechargeable AA's. The more expensive, smaller
cameras get better batteries, but you pay for it. Those "proprietary" type
batteries from the manufacturer cost a fortune, and are a HUGE source of
profit. So that ultra stylish mini- stainless steel camera you want is
going to cost you if you want a spare battery. But, in many cases, these
cameras can't even fit AA's anymore as they've gotten so small.
-Get some memory as you want to shoot at the highest resolution Jpeg ALL
the time! I cannot stress this enough. Shooting a high resolution camera
at low resolution is like using a new Ferrari to drive up the street at
10mph in 1st gear to get a latte! Drive the thing would ya! Unless you
have specific needs and will never need to go higher (insurance claims/
emailing only of pics), you can always resize a picture DOWN to suit your
needs, but you cannot go UP in resolution! More experienced users can
probably come with a trade-off resolution that they like to use, but don't
get stuck with that once in a lifetime shot of Junior having been taken at
a low resolution; unsuitable for a 8x10 to give to your Mom, or for you to
remember with a big print when Junior is all grown up. At last check, a blazing fast 1 GB CF (Compact Flash) card or 1GB SD card is now in the
range of only a $100! (I remember a time when a very slow performing 128MB
CF card was around $1000!) For a rough idea of how many images you'll get
on a card, consider this. A 4 MP camera at highest Jpeg resolution will
generate a 1.5MB to 2MB file per shot. So, a very inexpensive 128MB CF
Card will store anywhere between 70-80 photos at highest resolution on a 4
MP camera ( for larger quantity cards, simply factor up in multiples of
128MB) So to summarize, shoot high; memory cost is low.
People often ask me what's the best camera to get or what's the best brand
to buy. It's a difficult thing to say, as I work in the field. I usually
say whatever works best for you. Some people have great experiences with
products from a manufacturer whose product I would never own in a million
years. Some people have bad experiences with product from whom I think is
the best manufacturer. I will state here, though, that I am a big fan of a
couple companies in particular: they are traditional Japanese camera
companies who have been around a long time and know photography. One
begins with a "C"; the other begins with a "N". Any professionals working
today are using cameras from one of these 2 companies. And the "C" company
is so good in design, style, ease, and technology (even more so in point
and shoots), that is is a clear cut winner for most people. They are a
huge company with R&D from many industries, and they utilize it.
I am a frequent lurker and poster, and I ask you to contact me via e-mail
with any questions, comments, or advice. My address can be found by
seeking out my profile. I can answer some questions in the public forum of
the Backroom; sometimes it's best if I do not. Good luck.

Why we hate Michigan
Why I hate Meechigan:
My conscience dictates that I bear no hatred for a person or aggregate of people no matter how whiny, annoying, misguided or man-boobish they may be. Ideas are different, though. The truth demands revulsion at ideas that lead souls from her path. My hatred of the Meatchickens, then, must be grounded in the realm of ideas, not personalities.
On the surface, their football program appears to have much in common with the Blessed Mother’s University’s own. They are both ancient midwestern powers, at least by the temporal standards by which college football can be measured. Midwestern roots tend to flourish best in the rugged soil of a punishing ground attack. Both schools are competitive universities, drawing a relatively similar student body, at least in the ways that the many measure such things. The Michiganers fancy that they have a respectable national following. If it were true, that would be another similarity.
These superficial points of confluence, however, only heighten the essential dissonance between the schools, and the irreconcilable philosophies that guide each football program. EdMartinigan clings to an empty, deracinated philosophy of education. There is no Good; there are only subjective goods, many of which must be respected as equal idols. Education is an end unto itself, to be used to whatever purpose the customer may wish to apply it.
Notice well how they have no compunction about using their athletes as kinesiological pieces of meat, tools of profit for the greater institution. Notice the size of the school and the emphasis on research at the expense of the undergrad’s quest for wisdom and understanding. Concern for their reputation alone sets their path, straining to seem excellent rather than truly to be excellent, the aim of the sophist. Also note well how quickly they deride any mention of religious themes when mixed with athletic competition by their southron rival. The intellectual must be kept alienated from the spiritual and both from the physical, as if any person actually exists that way. In short, the University of RichardToddBranchigan has swallowed every error modernity has ever spewed into the wheels of human history. They cling desperately to these fallacies, believing that their obstinacy makes them valiant and will lead to victory, and ridiculing any with a wisdom that surpasses their own.
The yawning chasm separating this bastion of hubris from the University of Notre Dame cannot be plumbed, even if one could measure the distance between the east and the west. At Notre Dame, the soul is gently nurtured in the understanding that all things seek but one ultimate Truth, that every endeavor under the sun only finds fullness to the degree that it furthers that pursuit. Excellence in all things becomes the goal prized by worthy and dignified creatures. They are obligated to pursue it in all they do, with all of their faculties. There is a unity in life, with a single focal point that will consummate every part, transforming them into living stones. Athletes are not merely athletes. Students are not merely students. All must share in the essential life of the school, never used simply as an object.
This is why my heart leaps every time I see Notre Dame’s warrior-poets take the field, golden domes flashing in the sun. They embody the spirit of the agon, an all-encompassing pursuit of excellence alien to Ann Arbor, a wrestling with personal weakness to yield to transcendent strength. Her warriors are a visceral reminder of that very mystical body, every part dignified and fulfilled in its unique and blessed toil for the common good.
The Back Room Movie Poll
Thanks to everyone for submitting their favorites -- looks like we came up with a good, deep list. Some surprises bubbled to the top in round II. There are some really great, enjoyable films here, and I think we accomplished our goal of finding not just the most "respected" movies (note the absence of Citizen Kane), but movies that you enjoyed and that you'd want someone else to see.
Keep in mind that every movie on the list is, at the very least, recommended by someone -- so don't think that just because a movie got only 1 vote that it isn't worth seeing. It is. Somebody cared enough about it to include in his or her top 10, so keep them in mind for your Netflix queue. And at the end of the poll results is the list of "Obvious, Must See Movies".
Thanks for participating. Enjoy!
