EW YORK (AP) - A 17-year-old hacker has mark siegel the lock that ties Apples iPhone to AT&Ts wireless network, freeing the most hyped cell phone ever for use on the networks of other carriers, including overseas ones. George Hotz of Glen Rock, N.J., confirmed Friday that he had unlocked an iPhone and was using it on T-Mobiles network, the only major U.S. carrier apart from AT&T that is compatible with the iPhones very bad things technology. In a video posted to his blog, he holds an iPhone that displays T-Mobile as the carrier. While the possibility of switching from AT&T to T-Mobile may not be a major development for U.S. consumers, it opens up the iPhone for use on the networks of overseas carriers. Thats the big thing, said Hotz, in a phone interview from his home. The phone, which combines an innovative touch-screen interface with the media-playing abilities of the iPod, is sold only in the U.S. AT&T Inc. spokesman Mark Siegel said the company had no comment, and referred questions to Apple. A call to Apple was not immediately returned. Hotz said the companies had belmont university been in touch with him. The hack, which Hotz posted Thursday to his blog, is complicated and requires skill with both soldering and software. It takes him about two hours to perform. Since the details are public, it seems likely that a small industry may spring up to buy U.S. iPhones, unlock there will be blood and send them overseas. Thats exactly, like, what I dont want, Hotz said. I dont want people making money off this. He said he wished he could make the instructions simpler, so users could modify the phones themselves. But thats the simplest I could make them, Hotz said. The next step, he said, would be for someone to develop a way to unlock the phone using only software. The iPhone has already been made to work on overseas networks using another method, which involves copying information from the Subscriber Identity Module, a small card with a chip that identifies a subscriber to the cell-phone network. The SIM-chip method does not require any soldering, but does requires special equipment, and it doesnt unlock the phone—each new SIM chip has to be reprogrammed for use on a particular iPhone. Both hacks leave intact the iPhones many functions, including hollyscoop.com camera and the ability to access Wi-Fi networks. The only thing that wont mark siegel very funny ads the visual voicemail feature, which shows voice messages mark siegel if they were incoming e-mail. Since the details of both hacks are public, Apple may be able to modify the iPhone production line to make new phones invulnerable. The company has said it plans to introduce the phone mark siegel Europe this year, but it hasnt set a date or identified carriers. There is apparently no U.S. law against unlocking cell phones. Last year, the mark siegel of Congress specifically excluded cell-phone unlocking from coverage under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Among other things, the law has been used to prosecute people mark siegel modify game consoles to play a wider variety of games. Hotz walmart store hours online with four other people, two of them in Russia, to develop the unlocking process. Then there are two guys who I think are somewhere U.S.-side, Hotz said. He knows them only by their online handles. Hotz himself spent about 500 hours on the project since the iPhone went on sale on June 29. On Thursday, he put the unlocked iPhone up for sale on eBay, where mark siegel high bid was above $2,000 midday Friday. The model, with 4 gigabytes of memory, sells for $499 new. Some of my friends think I wasted my summer but I think it was worth it, he told The Record of Bergen County, which reported Hotzs hack Friday. Hotz heads for college on Saturday. He plans to major in neuroscience—or hacking the brain! as he put it to the newspaper—at the Rochester Institute of Technology. |

caine mutiny

Wouk, Herman. The Caine Mutiny. New York: Doubleday, 1951. I read this book before I took on the BookLust Challenge, even before I even knew of Nancy Pearls Book Lust at all. I read it because it was one of my dads favorites (although, when I think back I think he was referring to the 1954 movie version). When a 1951 edition fell into my hands last summer I couldnt resist cracking it open, despite the fact I had always assumed Wouk to be a difficult read. I thought anything and everything he wrote would be filled with technical military terminology; guy fiction adventures I couldnt possibly understand. I was wronger than wrong. The Caine Mutiny was about a mamas New York boy, Willie Keith, who joined the navy to avoid going into the more dangerous, death-sentence army during World War II. He fancied himself a musician and if it werent for the tour of duty hed been in the bar, entertaining the fun-loving crowd, romancing a beautiful nightclub singer. He skated through practically everything from basic training to active duty. Only when Willies vessel was put through the dangers of a typhoon, and his acting Captain Queeg froze with indecision, did Willie rise to the challenge of assuming command. True, Willie had been growing up all along, but this was a heroic burst of responsibility. This act, among others, resulted in a court martial of Capt. Queeg and led to the most fascinating part of the book. The court-martial finale scrutinized all characters involved in the events leading up to trial so brutally that I was left wondering if assumption of command from Capt. Queeg was really necessary. There was much more to the story than that. such as the incident with the strawberries, but Ill leave it at that. BookLust Twist: In Book Lust Wouks Caine Mutiny is mentioned twice, in What a Trial That Was (p. 243) and World War II Fiction (p. 253). |

AFTER STUDYING BUDDHISM in Hong Kong for 40 years, Stephen Ho immigrated to San Francisco and decided he wanted to open an American branch of the famed Shaolin Temple, the birthplace of both Zen and Kung Fu. The temple’s abbot in China gave Ho his permission and dispatched a monk who had trained at the temple for more than 20 years to help. But Ho—who never trained at the Shaolin Temple himselfthinks the monks from China don’t perform enough sitting meditation or hold enough philosophical discussion . He plans to cut them off and find some priests more to his liking. For their part, the Shaolin monks live in a rundown former rooming house in Oakland, and are presenting some astonishing demonstrations of the effectiveness of Qigong practice, such as withstanding sledgehammer blows to the arm while steel bars beneath are broken. An aide to the San Francisco mayor says the Shaolin monks don’t know much about Buddhism, but others retort that neither the political aide nor Ho, a retired IBM engineer, know much about Shaolin. The monks defenders say Shaolin kung fu is indeed a form of meditation. Here’s the full report from the San Francisco Chronicle. For more on the connection between mysticism, the martial arts, and Qigong, here’s a previous Ampontan post about the Japanese ninja master, Masaaki Hatsumi. And this is apparently the website for the Shaolin Temple in China, complete with photos of a Vladimir Putin visit. They dont seem to be averse to a little commercialism, but as an article on the site explains, they cant even use the term Shaolin Temple in Japan because someone else holds the trademark. |

Footage from an earlier show on the tour. The last time I saw Strung Out was at their show at the Brooklyn Music Terminal. Unfortunately for me, the owners had a little tiff which resulted in one leaving with some of the equipment. This caused Strung Outs set to be riddled with technical problems. You couldnt even hear singer Jason Cruzs vocals. So its about a year later s 300 the band has released their seventh album Black Hawks Over Los Angeles. The album pushes in a new step forward by taking a more pop approach to the bands metal and punk. Thats right, pop rock songs over metal. Incredible. Strung Out were set to play one of my favorite venues, The Knitting Factory. Id finally have another chance to see the band live. Without problems. I hoped. Except things arent so easy. See, some days before the show, their van and trailer with all their gear was stolen in Philadelphia. I feared for the worst. Luckily, they pulled through. My friend Steve, who took over my position as music editor of the Queens College Knight News newspaper, was lucky enough to set up an interview with one of the members of the band. He got Jordan Burns, drummer. We got to the club before the show started (something I try to avoid ). Steve and I went to bathroom. Unbeknownst to me, in the next stall was Cruz. Upon exiting the stall, Steve tried to scare me. Cruz came out, and asked us if we were having a moment. That just about made my day. We went to the merch table to find out about the interview. The merch guy told us to wait. We did, for a while. Some time later, he told us Burns was out to dinner with his family. I dont blame him, he was probably stressed with the situation. He asked guitarist Jake Kiley to cover for him. We waited a very long time before Kiley and guitarist Rob Ramos came to the table. We introduced ourselves. Steve asked to do the interview downstairs. I wasnt sure what he meant. We returned to the bathroom. Most original location for an interview yet. Steve asked a good deal of questions about the progression of michael kidd band and the music business. I chimed in a little. Kiley responded with calm, down to earth responses. He meant every word through the frequent toilet flushes. Some guys came in the room. Upon exiting, they realized Kiley was standing between the door and the urinal, and told him michael kidd were all decade long fans. He thanked every one of them. One of the fans even said he considered to bring his guitar so that Kiley could use it for the show. We learned some things from Kiley. Dont spend too much on tours, and you end up making the same amount of money as popular bands. He used Avenged Sevenfold as an example. We also learned that having a lot of fans doesnt matter, but having a few really dedicated fans is a wonderful thing. Kiley and the rest of Strung Out are everything I aspire to be as a musician. We parted ways, and the band took the stage. They were amazing. They put themselves into every song like it was their last. They have an undeniable energy that their fans identify and reciprocate. For the complete michael kidd list check out this review of the show. |

The beginning of the movie Belly above has to be one of the illest intros to a movie flick and one of my favorites. But have you heard? Belly 2 is coming soon to a theater near you. Yea right you gullible ass. Maybe not, but if you think about it Nas was too busy resurrecting Hip Hop (I think its back to being dead again), DMX is trying to knock multiple driving points off his license while refraining from usage of crack, and finally Method Man is still clueless why Def Jam will not promote him better. First off, something about the intro to this movie pulled me into watching the rest of the average hood movie. The black lights in the club, the robbery, the shootings, and cant forget the classic Soul II Soul Back To Life track playing throughout the scene. Anyways, I wish I could remember the blog I read last year that wrote a piece on the Belly 2 rumor when it briefly surfaced the internets. However, the rumor of course got murked and it was never seen nor talked about again. So if there was a Belly 2, how would the sequel turn out? *too easy* I am guessing Bunz (DMX)  does not settle down. Bunz does not find Jesus nor becomes Muslim on Rikers because once he is released, he embarks on a journey back into the drug trafficing lifestyle that landed him in prison in the first place. He decides to call up Sincere (Nas) on a pay phone of course, and asks Sincere sweeney todd reviews comeback from Africa and join him to do it all over again. Bunz: Yo dog. I need you to leave the motherland and muthafuckin come home right the fuck now. We got some major business to fuckin take care off. Grrrrrr. Sincere: Yo dun, I am at one with myself and taking care of my family. Tionne and I are happy over here and my baby girl is grown up now. We have to go pick her up from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls. Let me hit you back. Bunz: Fuck that man. Kisha done left me for Rico and I hear Shameek is running shit. I need your help man. We need to get this paper. Is you wit me? Grrrr Arrff Arrff Sincere: Yo son, why you barking like a dog all of a sudden? Is you aight? Bunz: Naw man I am bugging the fuck out right now. A week out the pen and I already got driving tickets for causing an accident, driving with no fucking license, and some shorty tried to rape me. Sincere: Aight yo, chill dunny. I am going to catch the Red-Eye and meet you at the diner so we can talk this over smoothly. Calm down son. Bunz: Aight man. Yo I hate to be a begging muthafucka, but yo..yo..yo&grr&you got some crack you can give a n*gga once you touch down? Sincere: Naw son. Bunz: Aight dog. See you soon my nig. Sincere: Chea!! Soul II Soul - Back to Life (However Do You Want Me) Regular version Soul II Soul - Back To Life (However Do You Want Me) Acapella Belly Soundtrack version REQUEST: Finish this intro to the movie and/or tell me what you think the plot of Belly 2 would be like. Get your Hype Williams on ya’ll. |

new york and tailor made src="http://wvpubcastnews.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/leahhickman.thumbnail.jpg" alt="leahhickman.jpg" /> Leah Hickman Clark Davis Huntington police are searching for a Marshall University student that’s been missing since last Friday. Family and friends of 21-year-old Leah Hickman began to worry Saturday when she did not report to her job at the Dress Barn in Barboursville. When she missed work again Sunday, the police involvement became more intensive. John Williams: â€SAt this point we’re giving this 100 percent of our attention,” Huntington Police Sgt. John Williams said. â€SAs you know with any investigation, the first few days are very critical from the time the reports are received, so we’re acting accordingly on that. No, nothings pointing to it one way or the other. Of course, we’re keeping all possible scenarios and options as far as the investigative course.” Williams says the case is perplexing. There is no evidence of foul play, but it isn’t like Hickman to disappear. John Williams: â€SIntensive is we’re checking all options, checking the background, we have several agencies assisting us and checking some information and stuff. There’s nothing in her lifestyle that would indicate that this is any type of normal behavior for her. It causes us concern and thats unlike her. ” Meanwhile, fliers have been put up in neighborhoods in the Huntington area and Lawrence County, Ohio. Hickman is a junior from Mason County majoring in journalism. |

So, some things have happened lately that seem more important than they probably are. Okay, so I know everyone else has covered this to death, but Anna Nicole Smith died. I dont know, but this feels like some sort of alternate reality cultural watershed moment. I mean, it seems like it should be important, but really its not at all. But no matter how frequently you remind yourself of that its still there, hanging on despite our best efforts. Second observation: My wife today stopped at a Waldens bookstore and pre-ordered her copy of the seventh (and final) Harry Potter book. Apparently, when she reserved it, the clerk asked her if she wanted Snape to end up being a good guy or a bad guy. Being an optimist (snort of laughter here), my beautiful bride decided that she wanted Snape vindicated and clothed in white. After stating her preference she was given a bumper sticker that read Snap is a Hero . She then asked what she would have gotten if she wished Snape to be a villian. That bumper sticker apparently reads, Snape is a Very Bad Man . I think the period between now and the release of Harry Potter and the Closet of Shame (or whatever) is going to be this generations Who shot J.R. moment. More literary? Yes. More consequential? Not at all. |

Dear Lillie, I thought the hardest part of your moms death would be the service, and it was hard, specifically when both your father and mine got up to pay her tribute. Both of them are rather private men; I know it was hard. But when you cried in my arms, that was even harder. It isnt that I thought that you shouldnt have cried. I didnt see how you hadnt before. I was so proud of you as you sang and read Faiths prayer. I could not have done that at my mothers funeral. I was proud that you stood by your dads side during that hard five days, that you went with him to make funeral arrangements. I know that your mom would have been pleased,too. Since she could not be there to support your dad, you were there in her stead. No, I was remembering when my mother died. You were about Grahams age, not quite nine. You, Russell and your mom had been over taking care of Grandma just before she died. And when you came to the funeral, you crawled on my lap and cried. You cried so hard that my shirt was wet. You thought that if you had stayed, Grandma would not have died. And I wanted to comfort you, so I told you that Grandma knew you loved her, and you would see her again some day in heaven. You cried harder then, and when I asked you what was wrong, between sniffles you managed to get out that you wished heaven was now. I cried too, then. It was my mom lying in the casket, and someday seemed way too far away. The fact that you missed Mom that way too was a huge comfort Notting Hill me. So yesterday, when you cried, I felt like I was holding the little girl again. I was remembering your words of a few days ago, that classes had started and you hadnt visited her as much as you should have. You felt guilty. Again. And I wasnt any more help than I had been before. I still cant make heaven be sooner. And I still cant take the hurt away. But I can reassure you that your mother loved you, and she would have understood. I hope the service helped you. It helped me. washington nationals the way the pastor started out, reading the obituary and then saying that hybrid technologies moms life was so much more than just those facts. And it was. I was too little to remember, but did you know that love will keep us together lyrics danced on stage at the Colony Theater with Soupy Sales? She was fearless! And I did not know before Grandpa shared that her Christian witness had started so young. Your mom had the gift of hospitality, and the ladies who spoke yesterday were certainly blessed by it. And you know what? I dont think it even mattered to the people there that the last few years have been so hard. I was grateful, too, that the pastor pointed that out. That verse he quoted from Romans 8:38-39 says: For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. NOTHING, Lillie! Not even mental illness. I am so glad that the pastor reminded those of us who loved your mom that no matter what we saw, your mom was NOT separated from the love of God. And I think, maybe, that thats one of the biggest lessons she would want you to learn from this. She may have been beaten down, but she did NOT lose in the end. And actually, because the pastor gave an invitation to accept Jesus, your mom evangelized just one more time. I know of at least one person seated in that auditorium who has not accepted Christ, and I prayed harder than usual yesterday that he would hear and believe. Did you get a chance to talk to the cousins that came? I havent seen Jeff for more than twenty years. His mom died thirty-four years ago, and he still misses her. He said that sometimes he just cries out, Mom, I need you! Why arent you here? The statement brought tears to my eyes because I still miss Grandma like that sometimes and I had her for forty years. You only had your mom for nineteen years, and many of those years she was ill. I cant promise you that the years ahead of you will be easy. Your brother asked me that as he watched Grandpa. He said, Does it get easier as you get older? Do you understand more? And I had to tell him no. You just know that you will live through the things that seem to hard to bear. So when those times come that you cry out, that you are lonely and miss your mothers arms, I hope you lee thomas remember the celebration of her life. I hope you will remember that she loved Jesus and she told others about him. I hope you will remember the friend that came to the hospital and braided her hair, one last service to her before she left dead leaves earth. And I hope you will cry out to Jesus because, honey, shes with Him. I hope you will let His arms hold you in her stead. I still cant make heaven come now, Lillie. But I can remind you of what awaits you when you get there. Like I said, your mom would be proud of you. And when you meet her in heaven, those hugs will be waiting. Deborah J. Montgomery, 59, of Jerusalem Twp., OH passed away peacefully Friday, September 8, 2006, at the Medical University of Ohio. She was born July 21, 1947, in Fairmount, WV to Clarence and Betty Gump.

Im not against gossip sites. The reason for their existence is for entertainment. Being opinionated in positive or negative ways is always good. Its also very normal for people to get upset about other people’s negative opinions.  Just dont take it personally when someone disagrees with you. You can always concentrate on writing something positive instead of bashing others. This is what makes life fun.  However, gossip is one thing but to degrade a young woman, making fun of her because of the way she looks is another story altogether. I can understand a chuckle over Britneys skankified antics or Paris Hilton’s porn video for all the world to see. It’s one thing to bash a skinny skeletor purposely starving herself for vanity, or a media whore snorting coke in a public bathroom, or someones botched boob job. But personal attacks with respect to someones feature is lame. It’s just offensive and totally unfunny. It’s one thing if you’re making fun of their makeup or clothing choice, but making fun of the way they look is really low. Poor Rumer. Being a teen is hard enough. Imagine finding nasty comments about the way you look all over the internet. Ugh. How would you like it if someone said about your child, Hey, your offspring is monstrous . Fun huh? Yeah, I thought so.  You wouldn’t say a child with a birth defect is ugly, so why is it okay to say that about a young girl with the strong features of her parents? Maybe she’s a little awkward. How many of us are lucky enough that we didn’t have an awkward period? Do you remember how it sucked to be teased ? Shit on a local level, that you didn’t have people talking about how fugly you are as soon as you turn your back.   Photos provided by google images Another thing I strongly disagree with is the way they try to compare her to the famous rents, Bruce and Demi. People seem to have forgetten that her mother sold her soul to the devil, a poster child for the phrase, what money can buy , to look like the way she does now. If you think and look back during â€SSt Elmo’s Fire” heyday, she wasn’t anything to write home about either.  Click here to view. Hollywood is an unforgiving place. With the pressure she must be experiencing from peers and friends alike, Im guessing, in five years time, Bruce and Demis daughter will be completely unrecognizable. Then well all be saying, why did she have all that work done? She was so much cuter before. Although I do agreee, she was better off with the longer hair from the pictures I’ve seen.  But you know what? I think its kinda cool the way she takes the whole thing, doesnt give a rats ass what the airbrushed society thinks. And yes she has a tremendous amount of self confidence. She must know what people are saying about her and yet she still walks red carpets as if she were the most gorgeous non-star in Hollywood. More power to her.  Self-confidence for the motherfuckin win!!!! |

Peter Noone comes out and sings Hermans Hermits hit Theres a Kind of Hush, a song I happen to like. However, he is dressed in an ugly blue paisley-patterned satin jacket and his singing is horrendous. This is worse than Zombie Diana Ross. Whats Left of Peter Noone cannot hold Whats Left of Diana Rosss jock strap. I type, If Lulu doesnt come out and rock To Sir, With Love, Im gonna be pissed. The Lets Pimp a Ford Commercial is set to the tune of Another Saturday Night (ANOTHER great song!) and it is at a laundromat. It is actually really cute. They shut dryer doors and play in the suds and its awesome. Also, no ones clothes get turned pink like jammies, so thats a step up on 1st Season Rachel. Finally, its time for some results. Brad Garrett is sitting between Gina and Chris R and looks ready to impale himself on a mic stand. However, maybe he just didnt know the camera was on him, because he gets eliminated first and Blake tries to comfort him and Garrett acts totally pissed and storms offstage, so that was kinda funny. Seacrest has groups of 3 stand up, but it doesnt matter because all 3 groups of 3 are safe, leaving Stephanie and Chris Richardson in the bottom two. QUITE FRANKLY this surprised me a little bit. I didnt like Stephanie this week, but shes such a strong singer. Chris Richardson gave his best performance to date, so thats a bummer. Now hell read Bottom 2 as meaning Go Back to Bopping Around Like a Shit-zu on Crack and Singing Songs from the Justin Timberlake Oeuvre. Blech. Oh, did I spoil it? Stephanie goes home. Thats a damn shame because we ALL know Phil and Sanjaya are not only King and Queen of the Heebie-Jeebies, but they also are like Wal-Mart to Stephanies Saks 5th Avenue. Hmmm&.they are like McDonalds Hamburgers compared to Stephanies Prime Rib? They are like The Doom Generation to Stephanies Citizen Kane? You guys smell what Lady Andrea is cooking, right? However, before the last 30 seconds where Seacrest might as well have taken my advice and just announced Stephanies name and then kicked her right into the front row for all the attention that is given her send-off, we get to hear LULU SING TO SIR, WITH LOVE! WOO! I love this song. The used car dealership where I used to be a receptionist had satellite radio of 50s & 60s music piped in. On Saturdays I was the only office girl there, answering phones and dealing with visits to my window by salesmen old enough to be my dad, and one Saturday I had my back to window because I was making copies and I totally got caught singing, But how do you THANK SOMEONE who has taken you from CRAYONS TO PERFUME? very, very loudly. Anyway, its a great song. Unfortunately, Lulu seems to be having trouble with her ear monitor and it is unclear whether she can hear the accompaniment at all. She also looks like an extra from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, but it works. Or maybe we should all wait for her to go, Tell me about it&..stud. and put out her cigarette with her high heel. She gives it her best and there are parts I enjoy. The last note is rough; its almost as bad as Dionne Warwicks death rattle from last season. That was fucking terrifying. I thought she was gonna die right on stage. Anyway, Lulu totally kicked Hermans Hermits Remains ass. Also, the American Idol challenge has Vonzell as a choice this week. I forgot how friggin pretty that girl was. Do you remember when theyd show her driving her mail truck? That was SO CUTE. Awwww. And finally, the last 12 seconds of airtime Stephanie goes home and she cries and tries to smile through her crying, which is sad. Also, shes got a pretty cry face. She does not look like an effing Horror Movie Villain, like the Crying Girl last night. Shiver. Bummer for Steph. However, I partially blame this on the fact that before the Top 24 we barely saw Stephanie. She had no following and therefore a bad week left her high and dry. SANJAYA on the other hand has had EXPOSURE UP THE ASS and therefore has a Creepy Crying Cult of 11 year-old Girls (supposedly Crying Girl is 13 but theres no way. I did not look like that at 13).

We kick it off tonight with Ryan going, The results are IN. Is your favorite OUT? Oh, the lovely turn of phrase. Thats quite the wordsmith you are, Seacrest. Also, Paula is draped in a spider web and we get a 5 minute recap of last nights performances. Last week, Brandon didnt get a sing out! Chop, chop Show! Incidentally, the Crying Girl is nowhere to be seen tonight (thank Christ), so heres an actual picture of her, rather than random crying little girls from Yahoo! image search. 
PS: Over the Video Journey of the booted Idol, they play Chris Daughtrys song Home. (I refuse to call him Daughtry. Hes not Cher). Heres a sample lyric: I dont regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old, so Im going home. Well Im going home. Its a lot more tolerable if you imagine hes carrying a bananahammock-wearing Seacrest over his shoulder while climbing the American Idol set.
