He said he planned to show a video of a NCAA volleyball game for the team, but he said the dvd player he brought to the project meetings inadvertently included another video.

Team meeting is started, Lem said he could not find the NCAA video in his gym bag, so he decided to discuss the practice schedules instead. As he was passing, timetables, with his back to the dvd-player, Lem said he heard the boys on the team laugh. One of them had worked the remote control.

Motherly the dangers of eating and driving-Patch.com

My first two cars were stick shifts. At the age of 16 I bought my courageous first car-a Renault Le car (brand new and gold with black accents, 4 fantastic speeds, a stereo, complete with tape cartridge and if ever there were a number of wheels that could be called a citronDette was the.)Move on, in a perky age of 20 I scored the hottest car in these parts — a brand new Pontiac Firebird. It was shiny, white loaded with air conditioning, lights, flip up out of the sleek hood (when one got stabbed it could actually blink!) a special place to dangle two tree air fresheners for time, five speeds and best of all — a custom drink holdercould handle value between large mega cups.  It was heaven on wheels, and before I knew it was the meals on wheels, as well as.

And so it began – an iced tea here, a chocolate shake, here a burger, a wreath. Now I had the opportunity to drive for classes, cruise to drive-thru and Grab my lunch and then make it to work on and at the same time all munching on a # 9 filet o fish without cheese ', exquisite hot and salt fries – not I say what size – and the largest coke in could fit in this swell drink holder of mine.Back, and then (suk), there were no mobile phones, so the only multi-tasking I made was dryer tartar sauce from my steering wheel, rotating the eons times each time I was approaching a traffic light and singing Aerosmith or Barry Manilow (depended on my mood-big lips or big hair!)

No big deal! Or so I thought.Fast forward 25 years, heated two teenage drivers, mobile phones and navigation systems, leather seats, multifunctional stereo systems, dvd players, special places for our pets, and not only the cup holders, but built-in magazine tables for four and a waitress! (Well, almost!)

As a mother who constantly shoving way more in her timetable than is humanly possible, I admit easily to the unthinkable — eat and run!  I customize not this absurd habit from them that ran before me, either. My mother, with five children may have broken the law by letting us ride in the back of the station wagon without being strapped in with safety belts, but I can't remember a time when I have ever seen her scoffing down a taco getting us softball practice on time.

Me good, that is another story entirely. My children would be the first to tell you that your mother can cruise local rotating all while sipping Crystal Light, eating the forbidden apple popping Tic Tac, to get rid of the yolk sac on the Egg McMuffin and discuss "war and peace"and this only during Breakfast hours. I think horror what they can reveal about my dinner habits!

So why are smart people like me (thank you for letting me join just once) such unnecessary risks trying to eat a three-course meal on the go with such precious cargo-our children-in the car at the same time doing? And worse: did not realize that not only what a bad example is our children, but how dangerous it can be ... not to mention what a disservice we make ourselves as human beings to deal with our own bodies in such a hectic, encountered State?

I got one answer. Priorities. We are overscheduled and have taken to eating on the Run, like turn on the water in our faucets: it is pointless function that we simply do without thinking.

Now I speak for myself, of course, but now that I have two children running, I want them to handle things behind the wheel and in their lives, a bit different than their mother has.

As a country, and rightly so, we have given a great deal of attention not texting cell and execution. Well, Buck is not there. Yesterday, I saw a gentleman drag out of Dunkin Donuts with his wire hot cup of heaven in one hand and a jelly donut in the other. Granny Nootjens stopped briefly in front of him, and guess what he imagined when he had rotating out of harm's way?  YEP, wreath!

You know, of course, where this steaming cup of coffee countries not you? You got it, his stick Shift!  (If you're wondering how I knew this, consumed the appearance of his face gave it away!)

I know one thing is sure: I do not want my son to spill its scalding coffee on his stick Shift some day, so I have promised to turn over a new leaf-I believe-and start driving steering wheel a bit differently!

The next time you have the urge to eat and drive, I call on them to withdraw and just be.  It is true – only be!  Nothing is as important as driving safely for them on the road around you, in the car with you and given you as a Smart human being deserves to be safe in your own wheels.

Bet you did not know that costs just 10 minutes, make time each day – just 10 minutes – is proven to increase your overall happiness in life.  If all you have is 10 minutes to eat on the go in between stops, why not drag, extracting a napkin, unpacking your burger and calmly eat it and give thanks moment of peace you eat now up! Who knows, perhaps not only gives you a new handle on success, but you could avoid a terrible accident and save a life!

Oh, and if you're wondering what the top 10 food that has been mentioned as causing accidents to motorists during the batch job, the AAA has furnished this useful ist for you and your.

1. Coffee: it always finds a way out of the Cup.

2. Hot Soup: many people drink it like coffee and run the same risks.

3. Tacos: foods can disassemble even without much help, leave your car looks like a salad bar.

4. Chilli: potential for drips and sludge down in front of the clothes are significant.

5. Hamburgers: from the fat of burger ketchup and mustard on top of lots of goop can end up on your hands, clothes, and rat.

6. Barbecued Food: similar issue occurs for barbecued foods as hamburgers. Sauce can be great, but it will end up on what you touch.

7. Fried chicken: another food that leaves you with greasy hands, which means constant dry them on something, even if it is your shirt. It also makes the wheel greasy.

8. Jelly or cream-filled doughnuts: has no ever eaten a jelly doughnut charts without some of the center oozing out? And jelly can be difficult to remove from the material.

9. soft drinks: not only is the subject of scrap, but they can also fizz as you drink them, if you make any sudden movements. Most of us have childhood memories of soda fizz in the nose; sensation not now more comfortable.

10. Chocolate: like greasy food, chocolate can coat your fingers as it melts from the heat of your skin, leaving its mark everywhere you touched. Try to clean it from the steering wheel and you may end up unintentionally depart.

United, we will send you an email as a follow-up is published!

OPPO provisional-93 network Blu-ray 3D Disc Player Review-Bigpicturebigsound.com

Being the go-to gadget guy in my family and circle of friends is a role I rather enjoy playing, even if it does mean having to answer the same questions on a fairly regular basis. Since the high definition format war ended, a constant resident on my F.A.Q. has been some variation of, "Which Blu-ray Disc player should I buy?" As different models come and go, my answer changes from time to time. However, as it was with their exceptional DVD players, one slot on my Greg Recommends list is always occupied by the latest disc spinner from OPPO Digital.

Unfortunately, whenever I tell someone to buy an OPPO, my suggestion is invariably met with a searching look of puzzlement. In case you're making that same face right now, let me address the typical barrage of follow-up questions as efficiently as possible: Yes, OPPO. O-P-P-O. No, they're not new. They don't sell their players at retail, so you won't see them at Best Buy or Walmart. To keep costs down, OPPO only sells direct through their website and through Amazon.com. Are their players really that good? Let me put it this way: they don't get much better.

To answer the "Which player should I buy?" question, it's important to know who it is you're talking to and have a solid understanding of what's most important to that consumer. Is benchmark video performance the primary goal? How important is ease-of-use and an attractive user interface? Is Internet connectivity a requirement, or do you get your apps from elsewhere? Whereas OPPO models from years past might have caused me to hesitate on all but the video performance question, the OPPO BDP-93 Network Blu-ray 3D Player requires no such hesitation. If you're in the market for a Blu-ray Disc player, your list just got a whole lot shorter.  It's not perfect, but the BDP-93 has a lot to offer.

OPPO's BDP-93 features an attractive brushed-metal faceplate and convenient control buttons.

The Walk-Around

The BDP-93 sports an attractive brushed-metal faceplate with convenient control buttons and dual information displays. Refreshingly, said control buttons are not touch sensitive. Said another way, they behave as expected every time. In addition to the usual front panel buttons, you also get a front USB port tucked in the lower right corner.

The BDP-93 features a brilliant tray design, slightly narrower than the disc thus allowing for easy removal.Although the unit's high-end metallic look imbues the BDP-93 with superior aesthetics, it's actually the ergonomics that most impressed me. Specifically, I'm talking about the disc tray. This may sound trivial, but the BDP-93 is the first disc player that doesn't irritate me when it comes time to remove a disc. The reason for that is simple: OPPO wisely designed the BDP-93's disc tray to be slightly narrower than the disc it's transporting. The net effect of this decision is that you now have a small lip of disc overhang on both the left and right side of the tray, making it a snap to grab a disc without having to dig it out of the traditional disc tray recess. It may be a small touch, but it's far from insignificant.

Out back you'll find a few more deviations from the norm, raising the BDP-93 a step above what you'll see on a run of the mill Blu-ray player. First off, you get 7.1 channel analog audio outputs, a desirable option for users who haven't upgraded to an HDMI-switching receiver or pre/pro. These also represent another option for outputting high resolution audio from SACD and DVD-Audio, both of which the BDP-93 supports, hence its "Universal Disc Player" designation.

Also out back you'll find dual HDMI outputs, and they both (yes, both) can deliver audio and video simultanously. Only one ("HDMI 1") benefits from the Marvell QDEO video processor employed by the OPPO, but still, the ability to output to two displays, or to one display and one A/V receiver simultaneously is a welcome feature, and particularly useful if your otherwise excellent receiver or preamp/processor does not happen to support 3D passthrough. Lastly, the rear panel also features an eSATA port for connection to an external hard drive for personal media playback. It CAN also be used for BD LIVE data storage, but OPPO recommends using the player's 1GB of internal flash memory or a USB memory stick for BD LIVE purposes.

Remote, Control

In a refreshing departure from the OPPO DVD remotes of days gone by, the BDP-93 carries forward the new remote design introduced with last year's BDP-83 Blu-ray player - and it's a good one. Although the buttons are a bit spongy for my taste, this large and fully-backlit remote features an intuitive layout and has a nice heft to it. Response was pretty good, though I did find myself having to repeat a few clicks now and then when I ventured too far off-axis.

When the BDP-93 is powered on, the user is dropped into a fairly uninspiring logo screen awaiting further action. Personally, I would prefer to see OPPO bring you to the "Home" screen, where you have icons for "Movie" (to play what's in the tray), "My Network" (to access your personal media), along with web-based apps such as Netflix, Blockbuster, Picasa, and FilmFresh. Rumor has it, VUDU is on the way but it's not available just yet.

One click of the "Home" button on the remote brings you to this Home screen, but it's an unwanted step if you're powering the unit on for the sole purpose of streaming a Netflix movie. I suspect this was done because the OPPO is technically still booting when that logo screen first appears. Although you can put a disc in the tray and get the ball rolling, the Home screen is likely unable to be rendered as quickly as the OPPO logo screen can.

It should be noted that just prior to going live with this article, I upgraded the unit's firmware to version 42-03-23. As a result of doing so, the new Film Fresh application icon made its debut on the OPPO's Home screen. However, more importantly, the Netflix app stopped working for me. Netflix would appear to launch, but then it promptly returned me to the OPPO logo screen without ever displaying my queue. Powering the unit down was then necessary before I could resume normal operation.

After some back and forth with Jason Liao, OPPO's VP of Product Development, and his discussions with the tech folks at Netflix, it appears as though I may be running into a bad title in my queue, where its "corrupt or incomplete metadata" is causing the entire queue to choke. Rather than remove my titles one at a time, I re-activated the BDP-93, this time pairing it with an OPPO test account; the result was a success and Netflix behaved just fine. It's important to note, however, that this failure does not occur or any of my other Netflix-enabled devices, but Jason indicated that an upcoming update of the Oppo's Netflix API will hopefully resolve this issue for good. We'll keep an eye on this and if anything further comes of it, we'll be sure to post an update.

Picture This

Unlike its predecessor, the BDP-83, which featured Anchor Bay's VRS chipset, OPPO's BDP-93 utilitzes Marvell's QDEO video processor to handle scaling and noise reduction duties on the primary HDMI output. It should be noted that neither the secondary HDMI output, nor the component video output, take advantage of the QDEO's processing. A secondary, less impressive chip is used for those outputs. While it's hard to find fault with the QDEO's performance, OPPO has kindly given users the ability to bypass the QDEO processing entirely, if desired. If you're using an external video scaler or processor, simply set the OPPO's output resolution to "Source Direct" which will bypass the QDEO sending over the HDMI output a raw video signal that matches the format and resolution of the specific media you're playing.  In other words, DVDs are sent out at 480i/60 and Blu-rays are sent out at 1080/24p, 1080/60i or 720/60p depending on the actual content.

OPPO's BDP-93 features dual HDMI outputs in addition to component video, RS-232, and an Ethernet port.

Running through several generations of the HQV Benchmark test discs, the BDP-93 performed quite well, easily passing each test I threw at it. The jaggies tests were certainly a Pass, though I have seen that bottom oscillating rectangle look a bit smoother on some other players. Film and Video Resolution Loss tests were all handled adeptly by the BDP-93 and the 3:2 cadence was locked down quickly during the Super Speedway race car sequence. Video noise tests posed little challenge to the BDP-93, and in fact it was here that the QDEO was most impressive. The green roller coaster sequence on HQV's "adaptive noise test" showed a distinct improvement with the OPPO's "Noise Reduction" control set as low as 2 (out of 8). Overall, the QDEO's scaling and noise reduction capabilities are among the best I've seen on a Blu-ray Disc player to date.

Not surprisingly, real world viewing material looked downright lovely on the BDP-93. My usual test clips, including the carrier flyover scene in I Am Legend, The Dark Knight's opening pan across downtown Gotham, and the gorgeous landscapes on display in Baraka, all rendered beautifully on the OPPO, with no glaring problems or noticeable artifacts. Popping in the DVD of Gladiator, the QDEO processor displayed its prowess with its expert handling of the tricky coliseum flyover near the end of chapter 12.

Unlike a few other players on the market (notably those from Panasonic, and even OPPO's earlier players), the BDP-93 does not support 24p (24 frames/second) output from DVDs.  This feature is useful if you want to be able to view DVDs, sourced from 24 fps film content, on a TV that supports a native 24p mode.  This capability helps to preserve that film-specific look to motion without introducing motion artifacts.  One could argue that DVDs are not a native 24p format (encoded on the disc at 60 frames/second interlaced) and that is true, but few TVs have the ability to decode the underlying 24p content properly for a 60i input signal and display that content in a native 24p mode.  Normally this content is displayed at a multiple of 60 Hz, which means you get some judder (uneven motion).  So it would be helpful if the player had good 3:2 cadence detection and decoding on-board so it could output 24p content from DVD at 24 frames/second.

The QDEO processor actually has the ability to do this, but OPPO says that they felt that enabling the 24p output from DVDs on this particular chipset would have produced inferior results.  So that feature is disabled.  Really the solution here -- if you find yourself bothered by judder on film-based DVDs -- is to set the player to its "Source Direct" mode, send the DVD output to your processor or TV at 480i/60 and rely on one of these devices to correctly perform the 3:2 cadence detection and correction.  Of course, Blu-rays are supported at 1080/24p output since this is a native encoding option of the format.  Also, few competitive models offer this feature so it's not a major slam, but it is worth pointing out since it is a departure from the earlier OPPO Blu-ray players.

On a final performance note, one additional advantage of that QDEO video processor is that it also benefits the appearance of streamed content, such as that from Netflix and personal content found on your home network. Using the "My Network" icon, I had no trouble browsing and streaming content from the NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus I have located in my home office. Directories rendered quickly and both my movie trailers and music files piped in quickly without any observable playback distortion.

Tick Tock

With my trusty Android stopwatch at the ready, I next conducted our standard battery of speed tests. Powering the unit on using the Power button results in an 8-second wait before the OPPO logo page appears. More impressive is that by using the Open/Close button to power the unit on, you need wait only 4.2 seconds before the disc tray is fully extended. That's fast. (Is anyone else picturing Jodie Foster from Maverick? "Was that fast? I thought that was fast.")

OPPO's simple but attractive Home Screen. Unfortunately, you have to press HOME to get here.

As for disc loading, the test subjects included: a standard DVD (Gladiator), an early non-Java Blu-ray Disc (Sony's Underworld: Evolution), a Java-enhanced Blu-ray Disc (Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl), plus Stallone's overwrought, overstuffed Expendables, a disc that can incapacitate some players for several minutes, driving some consumers to the brink of madness before the movie even starts (and it's all downhill from there). As usual, for each load test I started with the unit on and the tray extended; I hit play on the remote and timed how long it was before disc-specific content appeared.

The Gladiator DVD presented its soundtrack menu in under 15 seconds, which is squarely average. However, the Underworld 2 Blu-ray displayed the Sony Pictures Home Entertainment logo in under 14 seconds, a new record, and a full 11 seconds faster than the Toshiba BDX3000. Pirates' gold coin stopped spinning and gave way to the Disney logo after a mere 25 seconds -- about 8 seconds faster than it took the speedy LG BX580 to accomplish the same task. Finally, with BD-LIVE functionality disabled, The Expendables loaded in 1 minute and 16 seconds before revealing the Lionsgate gears, and with BD Live enabled in the OPPO setup menu, disc load time increased only 20 seconds to 1 minute and 36 seconds - a highly respectable time for this particular title. So what's the bottom line here? First, the BDP-93 is fast. Very fast. Also, whoever authored that Expendables disc deserves a punch in the face.

3D? Check.

My review of the BDP-93 happened to occur at a time when I was without a 3D-capable display available, so I cannot speak directly to its abilities in this regard. However, having reviewed Blu-ray 3D players from a few different manufacturers, the quality of the 3D presentation seems more dependent on the display and on the content than anything else. This observation coupled with the OPPO's 2D performance leads me to believe that if 3D playback is something you enjoy, the OPPO is well equipped to serve up your favorite Blu-ray 3D content.  Since there is no gimmicky 2D to 3D conversion feature on-board, we expect the player to handle 3D content transparently, passing along the full HD 3D goodness to your display without getting in the way.  We will update this review in the future if later testing turns up any idiosyncracies with 3D disc playback.

OPPO's revamped remote control is quite good: big, well laid-out, and backlit.Turn-Ons: Reference quality picture and video processing performanceDual HDMI outputs  for connection to two displays to or a pre-3D receiver and a 3D-capable display
Attractive metal faceplate and classy front panel buttonsRear eSATA hard drive port and RS-232 interface7.1 multi-channel analog audio outputs for compatibility with older gear

Turn-Offs:

No VUDU, Hulu Plus, Amazon VOD, Pandora or YouTubePower-on doesn't bring you to the more-useful "Home" screenInconsistent menu navigation (left cursor vs. "Return")Off-axis remote control response could be betterRemote control buttons are a bit too spongy

Final Thoughts

The BDP-93 is easily OPPO's most impressive disc player to date. And while the spit and polish on the OPPO's user interface isn't quite on a par with that of an LG or a Sony, the player makes up for this with its top shelf video performance.  The selection of streaming services is weak, but it has Netflix and that may be enough for many people. In the end, the highest compliment I can give the OPPO is to share this one simple fact: the BDP-93 has taken up permanent residency in my A/V cabinet as my new reference Blu-ray Disc player to which other players shall be compared.
