It feels like forever since I have been out on my bike, and finally, finally, I get the chance again!

I met Ray, Rob, Michael, and Toby at Granite Basin Lake this evening.  It has rained the past few days, so we decided to stay on the DG.  On the way up trail 349, my legs felt both weak, and tight.  They were letting me know that I had neglected them.  After the initial 2 mile climb, my quads started to lighten up and have some fun. We went up, around, down, over and through....we rode all over the place in the short amount of time we had, but what a blast!

Most people only get to do see this kind of beauty and have this much fun on vacation!

Rejoice those without 360's as the day has come that you can be that much closer to owning the white, sexy beast. Microsoft announced this morning, most likely ahead of their Monday E3 press conference, that they will be dropping the price of all remaining 20GB 360 Pro's to $299 to make room for the new 60GB model which will replace the Pro's previous $349 price point.

So if you want to take advantage of the new deal, you'd better hurry as it won't be too long that 20GB Pro's will be come as elusive as Wii's.

The 60GB 360 is set to launch sometime August. Expect more information at E3 and stay tuned to CBx for all your E3 coverage.

All of the Content - None of the Hassle.

 Microsoft have just confirmed what we all knew already announced that the price of the Pro 360 SKU is to drop from today from $349 to $299.

Don't get too excited though - this is not really a drop - think of it as "stock clearance" - as they have also announced a 60-gig model. For $349.

The 60-gig model will be exactly the same as the old 20-gig, save for the bigger hard-drive, which Microsoft say is as a result of demand now that DLC and movie/TV downloads are all the rage on Xbox Live. The 20-gig model will be quietly phased out as they disappear from store shelves. There are no announced changes to the Elite or Arcade SKUs.

Redmond, Washington—Microsoft is giving consumers more gigabytes for their buck. The company today announced an Xbox 360® console with triple the storage space of the original console, but for the same price of $349 (U.S.) estimated retail price.

Available in retail stores in the U.S. and Canada starting in early August, the upgraded Xbox 360 will include a 60GB hard drive for storing the growing wealth of digital entertainment available for the console, including music, movies, television shows, and game content. In addition, Microsoft today dropped the price of its 20GB Xbox 360 console in the U.S. and Canada to just $299 (U.S.) (ERP) while supplies last, a savings of $50.

"We know consumers need more and more space to store the amazing digital content Xbox 360 offers, and we're giving it to them at no extra charge," said Albert Penello, Xbox director of product management at Microsoft. "No one device offers the depth and breadth of entertainment that Xbox 360 can deliver, and now you'll have three times the storage to manage all that great content."

Xbox 360 is just one of three Xbox 360 gaming and entertainment systems Microsoft offers. Microsoft's Xbox 360 Arcade, which comes with a 256MB memory unit and five Xbox LIVE Arcade games, is a value for the whole family for $279 (U.S.) (ERP), and the premium Xbox 360 Elite console is available with a 120GB hard drive for $449 (U.S.) (ERP).

"Microsoft is giving consumers more gigabytes for their buck" - ha. We're already paying $100 for a 20-gig hard drive that in the real world would cost about $20. So, in effect, you are now getting an extra 40 gig for your $349. Which would be cool...if it wasn't that the now-reduced Pro 20-gig is $20 more than the Arcade - meaning for that you get the hard drive for $20. Tell me why the 40-gig one hard drive is effectively still costing $100 then? D'oh.*

So smoke and mirrors, basically, playing on the people who will wander into stores and see "PRICE CUT!! ZOMG!!" on the sticker and make a purchase without knowing that they could still pay too much for the console and hard drive pay the same as before and get more. Still, better than a kick up the ass, I guess.

No announcements yet as to any changes here in the civilised world Europe.

When we got to the 332, Michael decided to head back down through "The Pines" and call it a day.  For various reasons he hasn't been on his bike for nearly a month, and said it felt like it.  So the 6 of us rode on.  Where the trail bottoms out and crosses a creek, there is a gnarly, rocky, curvy, slippery climb that is almost impossible to clean.  In fact Rob tried it 5 times, each time getting progressively closer and closer but just couldn't get it done.  No one did.  We stayed on the 332 all the way to where it meets the 346 and 347, then we took the 347 down into Granite Basin to the 348...lots of whoops and tons of fun!

We rode the 348 to the 351, then took a social trail over to the 350 and made the climb back up to the 349. Tim and I took the 349 east to another little social trail that runs south to the dirt road, while the other 4 guys took the 349 west about 50 yards to the dirt road then followed it south to where Tim and I came out.  Of course they beat us there, but we caught up with Steve (the roommate) right at the saddle and the 3 of us hammered it down the pavement back to the cars.  I topped out at 45 mph on the hill, with my eyes stinging and mouth grinning.

stats:

• distance 11.63 miles
• riding time 1 hr. 20 min.
• avg speed 9.4 mph     (this is skewed due to the crazy paved downhill)
  

"Ciao. Tu non mi conosci ed io non conosco te; questo messaggio è stato inviato a te per puro caso. Al fondo del testo ti scrivo un altro numero di telefono (anch'esso inventato sul momento). L'idea è di farvi conoscere per mezzo di uno sconosciuto che ha inviato questo stesso sms a due numeri a caso. Prova a mandare un sms a 3nn-nn.nn.nnn Chiederò all'altra persona di fare lo stesso con te. Tutti e due, se vorrete, potrete fare un salto sul mio blog (http://pxarcobaleno.wordpress.com) per raccontarci com'è andata. Vi siete conosciuti? C'è scappata la telefonata? Per (puro) caso vi conoscevate già? Vi siete simpatici/che? Raccontateci come è andato questo esperimento! Grazie. Ciao."

Cari blogger,
secondo voi, se facessi questo esperimento, potrei avere qualche problema di tipo legale? Potrebbero esserci problemi con la privacy? Il giochino potrebbe non piacere alle due persone scelte a caso. Oppure potrebbero passare dal blog, leggere questo post, apprezzarne l'idea, e provare a mandarsi un sms per cominciare. Magari potrebbero davvero, poi, passare qui da me per dirci come è andata.
Datemi un parere. La cosa mi intriga. Vorrei farlo davvero. Che ne pensate? Facciamo conoscere un 393.... ed un 328.... o un 347.... e un 333.....?
Attendo commenti prima di passare all'azione e documentare i risultati.
Un saluto.

Chapter 3: An Appropriate Response
Exodus 24:1-8

Ill never forget the time when, as a senior in high school, I walked onto school campus only to see everyone crying all around me. Yearbook in hand, wondering what in the world had happened, with absolutely no tact, I blurted out, "What! Did somebody die or something?" Actually, Mr. Averdesian, my chemistry teacher, was the one who had died. He was my favorite teacher. At that moment I could have crawled out of there like a bug on the ground. That is a great example of an inappropriate response.

Or how about the time at home group, leading worship, the Lord's presence had come among us and there was a great sense of quiet and peace. I was playing a slow, intimate song when all of a sudden I couldn't see a thing. My entire chord chart was white. In shock, in surprise, with inexperience on my side, I stopped playing and shouted "OH man! I need contacts." My girlfriend who had been singing with me whispered under her breath, "quench!" Yes, I had definitely quenched the Spirit. How do you continue after that? I didn't.

I am sure that you also, can think of at least one time when you (or someone like me) interrupted a quiet moment with boisterous noise, jubilant laughter, or emphatic shock. Becoming aware of the situation and circumstances around us allows us to discern the moment and respond accordingly. Just as social events require an appropriate response, the Lord requires the same.

he Ten Commandments and the law were given by the Lord directly to Moses in Chapters 20-23 of Exodus. God's Word, His command, requires a response just as any good lesson requires application. This is the nature of the Lord; He is relational. He speaks to us and waits for our response.

Any relationship, especially a love relationship, requires excellent communication from both parties. It is a reciprocal and appropriate response requiring honed listening skills. An inappropriate response to your spouse, often caused by inattentiveness, would possibly create strife, bickering, and even bitterness. How much more should we make an effort to be attentive to God's speaking? How much more should we respond appropriately to the Lord?

Worship, essentially, is an appropriate response of a created being to his Creator and takes many forms. Again, the key in this lesson is the appropriateness of the response. We should offer a form of worship appropriate to the word spoken to us-the time, the place, the emotion, and the intent of the command. If the Lord commanded the Israelites to put on sackcloth and ashes, it would hardly be appropriate for them to dance and hold a great joyous feast. When the Lord commands us to sing joyfully and fast another time, it would not be appropriate to be in solemnity and solitude.

Please notice that there are various forms of worship. Remembering that our essential definition of worship is an appropriate response, worship is not solely defined as a genre of music. Rather, it is vastly more complex: it is our very calling, our total lifestyle. This principle is beautifully demonstrated in the text of Exodus 24:1-8. Moses' response to the Word of the Lord resulted in rising early in the morning, building an altar, and erecting twelve pillars. Notice that this act of worship did not include any singing or music of any kind.

The concept and symbol of spending time on the mountain becomes more clear as we put it into practice. Moses arose early in the morning-before others were awake and in the quiet and newness of the day. Even in my drive to work which lasts about one hour, I look forward to the opportunity to spend with the Lord in sweet fellowship. It is a time that is free from distractions from people and their needs.

Moses, as the leader of Israel with a large ministry, practiced spending time with the Lord on a regular basis. He realized it was vital to his effectiveness as a leader.

The second component of this response to the Lord's command was to build an altar at the base of the mountain. An altar is a place of sacrifice. In the old covenant lives of bulls, goats, lambs, rams, and turtledoves were given as a requirement of fellowship with the Lord. In the new covenant, the everlasting sacrifice of Christ was given on the cross. All that is asked of believers today is to recognize the fact that our bodies, essentially our lives, no longer belong to us. Rather, the atoning sacrifice (1 John 4:10) of Jesus Christ purchased us.

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price;
therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And
do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:1-2

Oh Saint! Oh Believer in God! Oh Worshipper! When you give to the Lord what was His to begin with, you will find out what is a pleasing and acceptable offering to the Lord. When you consider the blood of Christ and all that He has done, how can you but give your very life and being to Him?

Twelve pillars were then erected as the final aspect of Moses' response. One pillar was erected for each tribe. Often in the stories of the Old Testament, you will see people setting up stones as a memorial or as a remembrance. One of the most vivid stories is found in Joshua 4:1-9 where the Lord commands Joshua and the leaders of the twelve tribes to set up stones to remember that the Lord had stopped the flow of the Jordan so that they might all cross into the good land. Another example is in the covenant between Jacob and Laban in Genesis 3:43-53. These stones in both cases served as a memorial, a witness, and a testimony. It is our testimony that inspires our outpouring of songs of worship, poems of praise, and beautiful exhortations to the brothers and sisters regarding the goodness of the Lord.

We could write 10,000 songs
And create new melodies of praise
We could stand before the congregation
With our arms outstretched and hands raised
If we have not completed primary acts of worship
If we have failed to give what the Lord truly requires
Then all has been in vain, those hours of practice
Fire the band and get rid of all your choirs
God desires something simple and beautiful
God desires something real and true
God wants your life, your time, your testimony
But mostly, God wants all of you

También se publicó la nueva versión 3.20 de la Plataforma Informativas, que incluye una instalación mejorada (con la última versión del instalador InstallAnywhere) que detecta correctamente la existencia de la máquina virtual java 1.6 que, como recordaremos es necesaria para la correcta ejecución de la misma.

"Umm.. yea this is my first Halo 3 Montage and I don't have a good editing program or anything so its pretty basic but still nice. so enjoy Officer 349"

I was created to be transformed
Created to be like You
Created to be reborn

I choose to yield to Your will

To yield to Your way

To yield to Your grace

Awake!

Awake my soul
And I will sing Your praise
And I'll not be ashamed

Awake!

Awake my soul to sing
Praises to my Maker
Praises to my Savior

第5世代からのiPodはApple認定の認証チップを使うとデジタルデータがそのまま取り出せる事は知っていたが、それにしてもWadiaからとは。
単なるアダプタに過ぎないとはいえ、WadiaブランドでUS$349というのは異様に安く思えてしまう。（ゼロが2～3個抜けている感じすらする＾＾；）

iPodのアナログ出力を高額オーディオ機器に繋ぐやり方はナンセンスもいいところだと思っているが、「デジタル・ソースとして」ならiPodはなかなかCoolな存在だ。

コンテンツ圧縮フォーマットと、それを大容量ストレージへストックし活用する・・・という手法は、俗に言うところのハイエンド領域でも「受け入れざるを得なくなってきている」ことは確かなようだ。
