Hello everybody! From the start i tell you that i'm a newbie, so please give advices, cause the critics woun't help :) .The site is www.hoteluri-in-bulgaria.ro . I look forward for your advices ,opinions and ways to fix the problems. Thank you! :)
Please check the url. It does not work.
Sorry! I write from the phone, and i made a mistake. Now it has to work:) .I appologize!
i usually sing the praises of optimising the graphics, but in this case, the big graphics have been over-compressed, and look it. Also I'm not sure what the relevance of the "tropical island" is? Is that an island near Bulgaria? the image title does not say.
I fixed it :). Some more ideas, advices or opinions ?
Change color to blue ocean is better, dude. Fill your site with cool feeling color. :)
The <tt>, , , <big>, and  tags are all font-style tags. Font-style tags are defined in HTML4, but it is strongly recommended to use CSS styling instead.
You should set your menu inside

 tags.
Setting a pid of padding in your elements would make the content easier to read and lighten the overall design.
Deciding for a color scheme would make it more comprehensive.
Even borders (top is thicker than bottom on some blocks).
A nice font type would bring alot.
Right borders do not align.
The bottom borders of the 2 bottom blocks do not align.
Sponsors have no title. (not shure they will appreciate^^)
Background image (awfull quality lol) does not fit screen width on 16/9 format.
onHover animation on your anchors in the left menu would be a +.
Finally, I would bring a touch of jQuery on the pictures with the colorbox plugin, so that visitors may see them in big format.
Hope this will help ;-)
Actually, jQuery should only be the final touch (the one clients most appreciate lol). The important thing is to get your site W3C compliant.
If you need any help, I am an independant dev. firstname.lastname@example.com
Allmost all the pages pass the validator test, but i have problems with the code for facebook. Without it , i have no error. In the moment i add it ,to have button for "Like", the errors start to appear :).
And i will ask your help, with the pictures, cause i don't know what i have to do.
Thank you!
the facebook problem can be bypassed by using a RDF doctype:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML+RDFa 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-1.dtd">
Line 2, Column 49: there is no attribute "lang"

Line 105, Column 32: there is no attribute "data-href"

I don't have time right now, but I will take a look tomorrow morning;-)

|Brief Summary
Primary Objectives:
|Detailed Description
You will be asked to complete several questionnaires during a visit to the Thoracic Clinic. These questionnaires measure physical and emotional symptoms, and quality of life. Completing the questionnaires takes about 30-45 minutes. The research nurse will also teach you how to use the telephone system for reporting symptoms. You will tell the research nurse when the most convenient times for the telephone calls and the telephone system will be set up to call at those times.
It is not clear at this time whether the telephone symptom evaluation is better than the usual plan that doctors and nurses follow for asking about symptoms. For this reason, you will be randomly picked (as in the toss of a coin) to be in one of two groups. The chance of being in either one of the two programs is about equal.
Half of the patients will be assigned to the "telephone assessment system plus triage" group. If you are assigned to this group, you will report symptoms to the telephone system and the doctor or nurse at M.D. Anderson will be notified when a symptom is severe. You will also be encouraged to report all symptoms to their doctor and nurse at M.D. Anderson.
Half of the patients will be assigned to the "telephone assessment only" group. If you are assigned to this group, your symptom information will only be given through the telephone system. You will also be encouraged to report all symptoms directly to your doctor and nurse at M.D. Anderson. Your physician may request information from the telephone system.
If you are assigned to this "telephone assessment only" group, the telephone system will call you twice a week during 2 cycles of chemotherapy. It is programmed to ask you to rate your symptoms and how much the symptoms interfere in your life. Rating symptoms using the telephone system takes less than five minutes for each call.
After each chemotherapy cycle, you and patients in both groups will be asked to fill out questionnaires during a clinic visit. The questionnaires are used to measure emotional symptoms and quality of life. Completing the questionnaires takes about 15-30 minutes. Your medical charts will also be reviewed and information collected about medical history.
If you have agreed to participate in the companion caregiver study, the study staff will use your demographic and clinical data to study the influence of your symptoms on your caregiver's physical and mental health.
This is an investigational study. About 100 will be enrolled at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. A total of 136 patients will take part in this multicenter study.

Late fall refuses to play by rules
After snowy and cold snap, a warmer, wetter forecast
Updated 10:38 pm, Tuesday, December 17, 2013
A double-fisted snowstorm socked the Capital Region with up to 5 inches Tuesday, but residents may have to exchange their snow boots for galoshes by this weekend.
A morning clipper and an afternoon blitz of hard-falling snow left 2 to 5 inches across the region, with Latham receiving a fluffy 4.5 inches, said Ian Lee, meteorologist at the National Weather Service. Frigid temperatures accompanied the precipitation; the mercury hit a low of 5 below zero at 6:58 a.m. By 4 p.m. it had soared to 9 degrees, Lee said.
The snowstorms created hazardous conditions for commuters, especially those heading home from work in the afternoon. In Colonie, a school bus that slid off Maxwell Road around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday was one of many vehicles unable to negotiate the slick streets. The day's weather added to existing snow from the weekend. By the time snow stopped falling around 5:30 p.m., a foot had fallen at Albany International Airport, Lee said.
A total of 15.3 inches of snow has fallen on Albany this month. The average amount to fall as of this time is 6.5 inches. Last December, only 0.7 inches had accumulated by this time.
The tricky weather will continue later in the week. A frontal boundary is expected to stall across the region this weekend, with two areas of low pressure moving along it, according to the Weather Service. Temperatures are expected to reach the low 30s Wednesday and come close to 40 Thursday, Lee said. Warming could continue through Sunday, when temperatures could hit the 50s, Lee said.
Rain could start falling Friday into the night and continue through the weekend. Flooding is possible.
"We're thinking there's going to be some snowmelt," Lee said. "It's going to be a wet weekend,"

WE Build responsive websites
Responsive design means that your website will be coded to adapt dynamically to all screen sizes, will be usable and look stunning no matter what the device the website's being displayed on.
If a user lands on your mobile website and is frustrated or doesn't see what they are looking for, there's a 61% chance they will leave immediately and go to another website (most likely a competitor). It's also said that if they have a positive experience with your mobile website, a user is 67% more likely to buy a product or use a service.
We code responsive designs based on screen size, not device. This means that no matter what size screen someone is viewing your website, it will display properly for that screen size. So, in the future, as new devices (TVs, watches, glasses, etc.) are being used for web browsing, your responsive site will still look beautiful
Your website needs to cater to a tech-savvy generation. More than 55% of your website visitors access your site from a mobile device. And that number will continue to grow.

I am pregnant with my first child now; my due date is June 26. I plan on having a natural birth and I want more than anything to be able to breastfeed. I am getting nervous about being able to breastfeed successfully. Is there anything I can/need to do to prepare for breastfeeding and to ensure that my son and I will be successful?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 30, 1987:
- Friends and neighbors of a rural Perry family were horrified to learn of the deaths of Linda Taylor and three of her children, ages 8, 6, and 4, when a freight train had collided with their pickup truck at a Union Pacific crossing northeast of Lawrence. The 14-year-old son who had been driving the vehicle was, along with his two brothers, listed in fair condition at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
- Lawrence police, who had picked up three possibly rabid skunks in the last three days, issued a warning to the public not to handle any wild animals or pets that appeared ill or exhibited behavior such as staggering or foaming at the mouth A 14-year-old North Lawrence girl had been advised by her physician to begin the series of rabies shots after having handled a baby skunk this week. The girl had picked up the skunk, which had appeared ill, wrapped it in a towel and brought it to show her mother. The girl had not been bitten, but it was feared that she might have come into contact with the disease through its saliva.

Does it mean you need to set stroke-dasharray-offset on the animation shape to change the starting point?

A pasta salad should be easy. It should be a just-throw-the-ingredients-in-a-bowl kind of summer food that doesn't require too much messing around.
With that in mind, we designed this salad to be just that. We do a quick boil of the pasta, and we throw in the veggies to blanch during the last 2 minutes. This simple trick saves you a pot to wash and an extra step.
Then we add some flavor in the way of salty prosciutto and sweet melon, and you've got a classic Italian pairing turned into summer side dish. Of course, because it's pasta salad, the combinations really are limitless. You can substitute any shape pasta you prefer. Switch out the prosciutto for bacon or salami, green beans for the asparagus, peaches for the cantaloupe. The great thing about pasta salad is that it's so easy to make it yours.

? if yes, on what?
? if yes, on what?
I'm Disc/Shadow, and I'm happily buying a cape next week =] Still wearing the rep cape from Hyjal, and I was never keen on the Wings of Flame itemization. Also, there is no cape drop in DS that I see.
My alt will be spoiling me with Splinterfoot Sandals (boe spirit/haste boots) this coming week, but that's also because I'm last in line for cloth gear in my 10m. The boots off of Blackhorn have better sockets.
I purchased a wand this week (Scinctillating Rods, spirit/haste) despite having heroic Trail of Embers. This is only due to me not owning a spirit wand, and I'm primarily a healer. I also bought this knowing I'd still have enough VP to purchase a cape this coming week.
I'll get boots from alt1, bracers from alt2 and I'll most likely spend the valor on the main for the spirit / haste cloak. If the shift in stat weight with the new set turns out to be true I'll get the BiS cloak lateron.
Cape, because I passed on every Wings of Flame for specs that would get more out of it. Besides, it will be bis for the tier so I can fit an epic red gem in it without feeling bad.
Bracer: Hit Mastery
Boots: Spirit/haste
Cape: I can't decide if Nano > or the spirit haste one then reforge to mastery.
The BiS list states Nano as BiS but thats at a higher gear point then I am.
Probably ring and wand (that's 1950 vp total) because the ring is a bigger upgrade from crystal prison band than the cloak is from heroic wings of flame.
I'll get Cloak and Wand from VP
Then ill buy the tailoring bracers, BoE drop belt and Valor boots off of trade chat.
Cloak should be high on your priority list, since it's best in slot.
One of the cloaks is BiS until HM so I'm going to be buying that tomorrow. Other than that I guess I'm selling bracers, heh.
Originally Posted by unholytestamentOriginally Posted by stormcall

After that, I think I might start selling BoEs, since I don't think there's much else great for us from VPs.
Cape and wand, then buying boots on an alt, then waiting for pattern for bracers to drop so i can get them made
Taking the belt first.
Despite the cloak being BiS and perfectly itemised the belt is simply a bigger upgrade right now.
The intellect gain of 384 to 397 is greater than that of 391 to 397. both gain a gem socket. both hitcap me. both leave me over any haste that may be considered important.
Sure, if the belt drops in raid and I win it I may be a little pissed but I can still use the belt for healing. Cloak next week either way.
Boots from an alt. Not sure if to buy the bracers on an alt also for progress this week or if to just wait till we get the crafted recipe.

Cape because it's BiS, everything else I can replace.

California is the undisputed champion of state sales tax rates, notes a report from the nonprofit Tax Foundation. Including the mandatory 1 percent Bradley-Burns sales tax rate added to all sales in the state, California has a state sales and use tax rate of 7.5 percent. This is a half percent higher than second-place finishers tied at 7 percent: Indiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Tennessee.
California had the top sales tax rate even before Proposition 30 added 0.25 percent to the state rate, effective January 1.
The Tax Foundation's rankings placed California first for highest state rate and ninth for highest combined state and local sales tax rate. California's average local sales tax rate is 0.88 percent, which makes the state's average combined rate 8.38 percent.
The Tax Foundation report does not including local transactions and use tax add-ons, which vary widely. In Pico Rivera, for example, the combined state and local rate is 10 percent.
Five states do not have a statewide sales tax: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon. Of the states that do impose sales tax, the lowest state rate is in Colorado, at 2.9 percent.
The Tax Foundation noted that many studies have shown that sales taxes can affect consumers' behavior, influencing them to make major purchases in neighboring states or counties where the rates are lower.

The club was officially founded when a gathering of 'gentlemen of Middlesex' came together in the London Tavern on 2 February 1864 to formally constitute Middlesex County Cricket Club, and few could have predicted what would follow in the next one hundred and fifty years and beyond.
Instrumental in the formation of the club were the Walker brothers of Southgate, who not only played a pivotal role in Middlesex's early off-field administration, they also provided some of the most celebrated players in the first two decades of the club's existence. Middlesex County Cricket Club's debut on the field came on 6 and 7 June 1864, when Sussex County Cricket Club visited the Cattle Market Ground Islington as the club's first competitive opponents. Vyell Edward Walker stole the show, taking match figures of 14 for 111 from 75 overs, to get Middlesex off to a winning start by a margin of an innings and 52 runs.
Perhaps Middlesex's biggest challenge came in 1871, when financial difficulties brought on the threat of dissolution. Staggeringly only thirteen members turned out to vote on the club's continuation, and by the narrowest of margins, just seven votes to six, Middlesex County Cricket Club got its reprieve and began a new chapter in what was to become a long and successful life ahead.
With several different cricket grounds in London being used as home venues in the first decade of the club's life, including Lillie Bridge at West Brompton and the Prince's Cricket Ground in Chelsea, Middlesex had to wait until 1877 before they would eventually find themselves a suitable and permanent home. An agreement was reached with Marylebone Cricket Club, which saw Lord's Cricket Ground in St John's Wood, the Home of Cricket, become the new home ground of Middlesex County Cricket Club. In 1893, Middlesex's Andrew Stoddart had the honour of becoming the first Middlesex player to captain the England Test side, leading his country to Ashes success against the touring Australians that summer.
Middlesex had to wait until the 1903 season before they were to celebrate winning their first piece of silverware, when under the captaincy of Gregor MacGregor, the club suffered just one defeat all season to be crowned County Champions for the first time.
Within that Championship winning side of 1903 was a certain Australian, Albert Edwin Trott, who in July of 1899 wrote himself into the cricketing record books when he became the first and, to this date, the only player to successfully hit a ball clean over the Lord's Pavilion.
Also playing a crucial role within that Championship winning side of 1903 were John Thomas Hearne, the club's second highest wicket taker of all time and Bernard Bosanquet, the man credited with inventing a new delivery called the 'bosie' , which is today more commonly known as the 'googly'.
Further success came Middlesex's way in 1920, when under the brilliant leadership of Pelham Warner the club again lifted the County Championship trophy. The club had the all-round efforts of another Hearne, John William this time, to largely thank for their success, with 1,638 First-class runs in the season at an average of 54.60 and 123 First-class wickets at an average of just 18.21.
The club made it back to back Championship winning campaigns in 1921, as Frank Mann took the helm to lead the side to the title, with the prolific Patsy Hendren topping the batting averages and run scoring list.
The summer of 1947, widely regarded as the best season in the club's history, saw Walter Robins again lead Middlesex to the County Championship title. Denis Compton, Bill Edrich and Jack Robertson all ran riot with the bat, scoring roughly 2,500 First-class runs apiece for Middlesex and amassing an incredible 34 centuries between them.
Again the club didn't have long to wait for further success, when in 1949 George Mann led Middlesex to a shared County Championship title with Yorkshire.
In 1971 the club entered the most successful period of its existence to date, when Mike Brearley took over the captaincy of the club and embarked upon a twelve year reign that would see him steer Middlesex to an incredible four County Championship titles and two Gillette Cup successes in 1977 and 1980.
In 1983 the captaincy baton was passed to Mike Gatting, who went on to surpass even Brearley's achievements, leading the club through a golden era of trophy winning campaigns.
Gatting's reign saw Middlesex's dominance last into the mid 1990's, as the club won three Championship titles, the NatWest Trophy twice in 1984 and 1988, the Benson & Hedges Cup in 1983 and 1986 and the Sunday League in 1992 during his fifteen years at the helm.
With Gatting standing down in 1997, the following decade saw a decline in the club's fortunes, as silverware evaded them in all forms of the game and the club were relegated to the second tier of the County Championship in 2006.
The club have tasted success more recently however, when in 2008 Ed Smith led Middlesex to the Twenty20 Cup, and under the guidance of Neil Dexter in 2011, the Division Two title was won and Middlesex were promoted back into the top flight of the County Championship where they reside today.

|Classé CA-M400 Multi-channel Power Amplifier
|Home Theater Power Amplifiers Multi-Channel Amplifiers
|Written by Jerry Del Colliano
|Tuesday, 01 February 2005
Classe is one of the top ten most recognizable names in high-end audio history, with a respected lineage that goes back decades. Recently, Classe joined forces in, as some are calling it, a "slow takeover" of the company with the investment firm that owns and operates B&W loudspeakers and Rotel. Their first move was to hire one of Mark Levinson's big gun executives, Dave Nauber, to run the show. Like Maserati, the newly-reconfigured Classe set out to significantly redesign every element of their product line, from the look of their products to functionality to dealer networks and beyond. Their goal, and I am one who believes they will be successful in this, is to elevate Classe from a Top 10 AV company to one of the most elite brands in the world.
One of the new Classe's first offerings is a reference-level monoblock amplifier system for high-end audio and home theater use. The CA-M400s are 400-watt-per-channel amps that can be placed in the traditional location beside your speakers or rack-mounted as a part of an ultimate theater system in a 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 or beyond configuration. Normally, the feature set of an amplifier is pretty simple – they power any number of your speakers at a reported watt-per-channel level. In the case of the CA-M400s, their amps do a little more. They are designed to work with a smart system and offer RS232 connections, on-off triggers, computer configurability and computer accessible diagnostics. It is reported that Classe might be one of the only amps that can run both single-ended (RCA) and balanced operations (XLR) without making a physical change to the amp (like flipping a switch). For those looking for classic audiophile A-B tests, this could be cool. I plugged in my balanced Transparent Reference XLR cables and squeezed the spades of my Transparent Reference speaker cables into the space-aged speaker connectors on the back of the amp. With the press of a button, I was in business with these $10,000 per pair amplifiers.
Before I get to the music and movies, it is important to note the aesthetics of the new Classe products. Despite what purists will tell you, the look of a high-end audio product matters. They are, in many ways, performance sculpture, a technological statement that is neatly bolted to your rack or put up on pedestals on the floor of your media room next to your favorite speakers. Let me be the first to rave about the look of the new Classe line. One could argue everything has already been seen in terms of amp design, but the CA-M400s look fresh in terms of their sleek and modern industrial design. The curves on the front of the component gives the amp a sexier, more human look and the way the heat sinks are integrated into the back leave the lines simple and uncluttered. The blue light is reminiscent of my Krell amps and glows beautifully on my floor, yet is never distracting, even during a movie or serious listening session. Classe's new look is one part Pierre Koenig (famous Los Angeles-based modern architect from the 1950s) shaken with another healthy part of Jonathan Ivey (Apple Computer's industrial designer know for the iMac and iPod). While the technical chops of the amp are of ultimate importance, the fact that the Classe looks like it belongs in a modern home and a professionally finished interior is also of note.
The Music
On Jimi Hendrix's "Wait Until Tomorrow" from Axis Bold as Love (MCA – CD), the clean tone of Hendrix's upside-down Fender Stratocaster takes on a more open and detailed sound than I had been used to hearing in my room with my reference Krell FBP 350 monoblocks, Mark Levinson No. 336 and other high-end amps. The cracks and smacks on the snare during main verse of the song coming from Mitch Mitchell's drum set have life and vibrancy to them, yet never sound over-the-top or bright. On "Up From the Skies," Noel Redding's bass has a round yet hefty sound to it. I even turned off my Revel Sub 30 woofer to hear just my Wilson Watt Puppy version 7.0 speakers rock the lower octaves of the track. You can hear and feel part of the groove, but it is the subtlety of the bass that solidifies the entire sound stage above it.
Acoustically, the Classe CA-M400s do their best. On "Mother," from Disc One of Pink Floyd's The Wall, the three-dimensionality of the strumming acoustic guitar is believably real. In the second verse, it is immediately apparent when the organ sneaks into the mix, despite the fact that the instrument moves in very subtly. The bass guitar sound big, yet not bloated whatsoever. In many ways, you can hear how these amps would rock on a pair of B&W 800s, considering how controlled both the amps and the speakers are, with special attention to the all-critical midrange and its openness. On one of the less famous tracks on The Wall, "Don't Leave Me Now," you can hear the eerie breathing in and out recorded on the track, which in some ways keeps time during the early part of the song. The ability to resolve details, even ones buried deep in the tracks, gives a Classe owner the ability to hear elements of his or her favorite records in ways not easily heard in even top audio playback systems.
On Isaac Hayes' "Walk On By" (MFSL stereo SACD), the Classe CA-M400 amps showed off their ability to reproduce depth of field. In the introduction, the warm-sounding Hammond organ is sweetly layered with the vast string section creating many different listening opportunities. By the first verse, the righteously sleazy song strips down to a bare bones mix where the squeaky and brash guitar takes on the kind of bright yet lively three-dimensionality that you expect from Miles Davis' horn. At first, to counterbalance the brightness of the guitar, there are ultra-smooth wa-wa strummings and then Hayes' rich voice, layers of horns, strings and a great-sounding bass. Not only does the track have soul, it has life, energy and musical three-dimensionality on my system with the Classe CA-M400s in the loop.
Clearly, openness and resolution of even slight details and layering are strengths of the Classe CA-M400s, but I wanted to see how they kept up with the best performance element of my Krell FPB-350 Mcx amps. What Krells do so well is handle dynamics and bass even at top levels. I spun up Dark Side of the Moon on SACD for "Time" (Capitol – SACD) and buried the volume on my Meridian 861 preamp. At 90 (that's really loud), the Classe kept up with the cacophony of chimes and bells without showing signs of the end of the power reserve of the amps. The ensuing bass and drum intro to the track had the power and low end you'd expect from a live show. All that was missing was a really cool laser light effects show, like the kind you get at the Planetarium.
On "Show Me How to Live," from Audioslave's self-titled record on DualDisc (Epic), I really put the Classe amps to the test. This track, with its 24-bit 96 kHz stereo track and bombastic hard-rocking flavor, simply begs to be played loudly. With volumes set at a rock-the-house and offend-an-audiophile level, the track sets out with aggressively digging bass in a slow march towards a musical explosion. The Classe amps keep Chris Cornell's voice beaming way out in front of the soundstage, even when the chorus erupts into a somewhat messy explosion of sound. Note: there is nothing messy about the way the Classe amps reproduce the chorus; this is a critique of the mix of the album, even on higher-resolution DualDisc. The verses, on the other hand, are about the most intense, enthusiastic, high-resolution rock you will have the chance to hear at home.
If the Classe CA-M400s amps could hang with Audioslave at top volume, then I was no longer worried about the depth charge scene in "U-571" from D-VHS playback. While the bass is amazingly powerful in the "point one" channel, I turned off my sub to hear the speed and clarity with which the Classe amps could keep up with this demanding soundtrack. I could quickly understand how designers would want to rack-mount an entire battery of these amps to physically rock a large, dedicated home theater room. They have impressive headroom for movies and can play loudly and impressively at top theater levels. The amps' ability to reproduce layering noted earlier is not lost on film soundtracks. The dynamics of Alec Baldwin's speech in "Glengarry Glen Ross" (D-VHS) are spellbinding, not just for the prose but for the overall sound.
The Downside
It is always hard to find a fault with top amplifiers, especially at this level. One small issue I had was the fact that, with both amps flanking my Wilson WATCH center speaker, the orientation of the lights on the front of the amps are not symmetrical. While this would look more linear in a rack with a vertical placement, when placed on the floor, it looks slightly off.
The speaker connectors on the back of the amp are more complicated than the ones on my Krells. The Krell speaker connectors are simple, large twist devices. The Classe speaker connectors are metal, with a plastic covering. I found it somewhat challenging to get my spades into the Classe amps. Ultimately, I got the cables in for a snug fit, but it took me a little while to make it work.
I am not one of the proponents of aftermarket power cables, especially for top-end amps. My Krells and the Mark Levinson amps that I have previously owned removed the possibility of switching power cables by simply providing a fixed, ultra-thick, hospital-grade AC power hose from the back of the amp. Classe gives users the ability to change power cords, which could be useful for the tweaky audiophile or, more importantly, for the custom AV rack builder. My problem was that, with the amps on the floor, the power cable provided simply wouldn't lay flat and/or look like it belonged next to my Transparent Reference cables. I know this is a small beef, but with the sexy good looks of the amp, it would be cool if the cables would not distract from the installation on the floor of a high-end listening room.
Classe's new-look amps are as good as any I have heard or reviewed in the price category and should be considered among the likes of Krell, Mark Levinson, Linn, Halcro and the rest of the best amplifiers in the world. The Classe CA-M400s have the headroom and power to tackle rock concert volumes and theater level explosions.
At this ultimate price level, one picks an amp based on the subtle differences and flavors of a top amplifier. The Classe CA-M400s are powerful yet polite. They do best with acoustical music because of their superior resolution in midrange reproduction. But the Classe CA-M400s are no sissies. They rock hard for music and movies. Trust me, the competition is headed out to hear these amps; soon there will also be Classe AV preamps and universal players. Classe has redesigned their entire line and are poised to take an even bigger share of the ultra-high-end market.

The Association of College and Research Libraries is one of the larger sub-divisions of the American Library Association, accounting for approximately 20% of all ALA members with over 12 thousand. Because the ACRL meeting is held only once every two years, each one is exciting in its own right, and particularly useful. In 2009, over 3 thousand attended in Seattle, and with the move to Philadelphia--a city known for great attendance because of its own population and its proximity to other high-populace areas like New York, Washington, DC, Baltimore and others--2011 is expected to see a jump in attendance. Combining the expected increase of attendance, the fact that the average budget attendees have is over $1.5 million, and that Combined Book Exhibit is located in a high traffic area and will include an exhibit of Choice Magazine's Outstanding Academic Title Award Winners (Choice Magazine is the official publication of the Association of College and Research Libraries), you can expect a lot of exposure for the titles you choose to market with Combined Book Exhibit.

2012 Hyundai Accent GS: I bought my car brand new with only 9 miles on it. While driving two nights later, I couldn't get my car to accelerate past 3500 rpm's and it would go past 40 mph while in drive. I was able to use shift-tronic to get my car up to 60 mph, but it was really slow. Also, when I was at 60 mph I decided to put the car back into drive. When I did this, my car shifted into 4th gear and slowed down. After parking my car for the night, I woke up and took my car out again and had absolutely no problems. I don't have the problem now, but don't have a solution or reason for the isssue.
have the same problem?

Keeping things in perspective
Earlier this week, I got engaged to my girlfriend of seven years. So, I feel it's fitting that I write this week about relationship building. As owners of fantasy teams, we have relationships with players and, as in our real relationships, sometimes we are rewarded for giving our trust and support while other times such investments are unfortunately unrequited.
Also similar to building an interpersonal relationship, it's important to know what flaws in players are going to be dealbreakers and whether somebody's distasteful behavior is just an aberrant result of a bad day or a peek into a much deeper deficiency of character. Today, I will look into some truly bleak omens about declining player value as well as signs that may appear to be similar symptoms but are most likely benign.
We know deep down that building healthy relationships, making wise choices about those with whom we surround ourselves, and when to cut ties from a dysfunctional relationship are largely about simple values we all profess to know and abide by, even as we behave in contradiction thereto. So, most of what you will read below is very elementary, and admittedly far beneath our readership here at THT. But … never is the challenge to know these things, and always to practice them when an irrational impulse rears its ugly head.
So, don't tell me: "Duh, this is Fantasy 101 stuff, I clearly know all this." You want to render this column a waste of time? Practice, don't preach. If you do, I'll be happy to write this off as a waste of virtual ink.
Legitimate red flags
Decreased playing time/emerging platoon situations: When it comes to a player's ability to produce, playing time is the lowest common denominator and, aside from talent, the most important determinant of whether a player will have value. In deeper AL- or NL-only leagues, virtually all starters have value, so it is important to monitor playing time dynamics and position battles.
Declining playing time as a harbinger of a player's loss of productivity is often something of a self-fulfilling prophecy as well. Without regular playing time and consistent ABs, it becomes more difficult for a struggling player to right himself.
Continuance of suspected outlier trends … or not: Flushing's faithful breathed a collective sigh of relief Monday when David Wright hit an opposite-field homer at Citi Field to begin the Amazin's season. Alarming results of last season kept the prices down on several players with fairly proven track records. We saw power outages from the likes of David Wright and Aubrey Huff. Vernon Wells, Alex Rios, Jimmy Rollins and Carlos Pena saw their batting averages tumble. Ichiro ran less often than ever, and at the second-lowest success rate of his career. Brian Roberts too saw a double-digit dip in his stolen base total for the second consecutive season. These are trends that should cause legitimate concern should they look to be continuing early this season.
Another thing to be wary of is players who were helpful in the stolen base department last year but did so at poor success rates. Teams may be stingier with the green light this season as a result. Players who posted double-digit steal totals but did so at especially ugly rates include Clint Barmes (12-for-22), Corey Hart (11-for-17), Russell Martin (11-for-17), Hunter Pence (14-for-25), Ryan Theriot (21-for-31) and Troy Tulowitzki (20-for-31).
Failures by unproven, newly anointed, or low-salaried closers: When it comes to closers' job security, one's leash may be as long as his contract. While this may not be completely fair, such is often the truth. Whether to be concerned about a closer's early struggles is often an individual case that is dependent upon track record, salary, and quality of the alternatives. When you have a spotty or bare resume as a closer, a relatively low price tag, and are flanked by a quality set-up man, a few early hiccups could cost you your job. The closers with the most tenuous holds on their job, that is who likely have the shortest leashes, appear to be Jon Rauch, Matt Lindstrom, Carlos Marmol and Jason Frasor.
False Alarms
Low batting average: We know there is a lot of luck involved in a batting average that is amassed over a comparatively small number of ABs. If you have a player with a proven track record who is simply off to a slow start, do not fret or panic. It often takes a season's worth of ABs, of hot and cold streaks, to level out a player's average to around where it should be. It is certainly worth checking a player's peripherals—walk and strikeout rate, as well as batted ball trajectory rates—but the most simple and obvious explanation for many unforeseen batting average drops and spikes is simply luck. Remember, after 100 ABs, the difference between hitting .240 and .290 is a combination of five great defensive plays/non-error miscues and bang-bang out/safe or fair/foul judgment calls. And this is before we even consider whether balls have been "dropping in" or not.
Raw ERA taken out of context: Just about every starter will throw up a handful of stinkers every year. With few innings under pitchers' belts, one or two bad outings can leave blemishes on rate stats that could take a half-dozen starts to recover from. Obviously, nobody should be concerned about Josh Beckett, even if his next start was just like Sunday evening's. This is obviously even starker with relievers, for whom the relevance of ERA is almost always overstated, period.
Love all your columns, Derek. Congratulations to you and the Mrs.
Congrats Derek!!!

We've all heard that Asian style cooking is healthy, with its emphasis on vegetables paired with lean meats.
Now some Taiwan scientists are boring down to the nitty-gritty by doing a chemical analysis of foods that have been prepared with traditional Chinese marinades and cooking techniques.
Bing-Huei Chen and colleagues from Fu Jen University found a way of measuring cholesterol oxidation products (COPs), the byproducts that form when cholesterol-rich foods like meat and eggs are cooked or stored. Past studies have suggested that eating large amounts of these compounds can increase the risk for blocked heart arteries, cancer and other diseases.
The scientists first added soy sauce and sugar to pork and eggs, then used a traditional slow cooking process that involves simmering food in the marinade for an hour or longer. The results COPs fell in the pork by 60 percent and in the eggs by 38 percent.
But Chinese cooks may not have exclusive rights on the healthful results, the authors said. Chen noted that it is possible that Western style marinating could also reduce the amount of cholesterol oxidation products formed during cooking.
The study is in the June 28 issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

If I use the previous version of Apt (0.6.43.3) and run "apt-get update" and then install the newest version and run "apt-get update" again, it works perfectly. But if I then change *any* package list at all referenced in sources.list, then the errors appear again. This occurs even if the package lists noted in the error are not modified at all. I find that a bit strange, although there might be an explanation for it that I've missed. Regards, Barrie

WSU's Roof arrested on suspicion of assault
Police say Coug tackle appeared intoxicated
Published 10:00 pm, Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Washington State football player Andy Roof, who sat out last season after being suspended from school for repeated alcohol offenses, appeared to be intoxicated when he allegedly assaulted at least three men at a private party early Saturday morning, Pullman police said Tuesday.
Roof, the fourth WSU football player known to have been arrested since new head coach Paul Wulff was hired in December, was arrested on suspicion of fourth-degree assault.
However, Pullman Police Cmdr. Chris Tennant said Roof may eventually be charged with a felony, since at least one of Roof's alleged victims appeared to have suffered broken bones after he claimed Roof knocked him out by punching him when unprovoked.
Tennant said Roof, a redshirt senior from Spokane, was held in jail for several hours to sober up, but was not given a blood-alcohol test.
Roof, a second-string defensive tackle who started five games at offensive tackle in 2006, had told reporters during spring practice that he had stopped drinking.
Bill Stevens, sports information director at Washington State, said Wulff "is gathering facts" before determining whether Roof will be disciplined.
No team activities are scheduled until unofficial summer workouts in June, Stevens said.
Roof allegedly head-butted a bouncer when denied entry into a private party; punched a man in the face; then smashed a man's face into the sharp edge of a stop sign.
Elaine Voss, director of student conduct at WSU, said "there isn't a special rule" that would automatically result in Roof's expulsion for another alcohol incident.
"We try to work with students individually," Voss said. Not referring to Roof specifically, Voss added, "At some point, if behavior reaches a (dangerous) level, we have to say, 'We tried to help. You can't be in our community (school) anymore.' "

By Paul Garcia, Project Spurs
Over the weekend on the Sports Roundtable powered by Project Spurs, Michael De Leon asked me if I wanted to stay with my sweep prediction for the San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz series, or if I wanted to change my pick. I elected to keep my prediction of a 4-0 sweep by the Spurs over the Jazz, and on Saturday evening, my prediction became one win away from coming true, as the Spurs took the Jazz' best punch thus far in the series and still won by 12-points.
Game four is here, for the Jazz it's a matter of pride to come out and give everything they have in order to avoid elimination and have the opportunity to play once more this season. For the Spurs, a close out victory to the series means more rest as the Memphis Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Clippers continue to battle should the Spurs defeat Utah.

Pathophysiology of cell phone radiation: oxidative stress and carcinogenesis with focus on male reproductive system: Review
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology 2009 Aug 13, 7:114

We have reviewed the literature to better understand the effects of cell phone radiation on human health, especially on fertility and in relation to cancer. Commercially available cellular phones might affect cell function via non-thermal effects. We hypothesized that the plasma membrane might be the target of cell phone radiation. RF-EMW can increase ROS formation by increasing the activity of plasma membrane NADH oxidase. Prolonged exposure to RF-EMW can also cause DNA damage (by prolonged OS), which may accelerates neuronal and spermatozoal cell death and promote neurodegenerative processes as well as promote brain and testicular carcinogenesis. Any tumor promoting effects of RF-EMW might be due to the effect it has on PKC, ODC, intra cellular calcium spikes and stimulation of stress kinase. Stimulation of plasma membrane NADH oxidase might play central role in above mentioned effects.
OS and changes in PKC activity might lead to the RF-EMW related infertility observed in numerous studies. Hence, RF-EMW from commercially available cell phones might affect the fertilizing potential of spermatozoa. Therefore, the SAR limit (maximum acceptable exposure limit) should be lowered for cellular phones. However, more studies are necessary to provide definitive evidence against cell phone radiation, which can be provided by in vitro studies combined with computational biomodeling.

Coming June 9, 2016, Here & Now listeners and visitors will experience our stories and journalism online in a whole new way.
Irish-born singer Imelda May grew up listening to Buddy Holly, Wanda Jackson and Eddie Cochran, and then later the Clash and the Cramps. All of these influences make their way into her music which has been described as rock with a retro feel.
Imelda May performs with her husband, guitarist Darrel Higham. May told Here & Now's Robin Young that Higham has been very supportive of her.
"He's my rock, he's fantastic, without him I couldn't do it all. He holds me up, we hold each other up, I suppose, in this mad life of ours," she said.
May says that most of her songs are about him, a fact she makes sure doesn't go to his head.
"I normally tell him to watch out because if he annoys me I'm going to make a song about it," she said, laughing.
May's new CD, "Mayhem," debuted at #1 on Billboard's New Artist Chart and she's currently touring in the United States.

Viru Backpackers is on … well Viru Street right in the heart of the old town. A cosy little, very quiet and suits you best especially if you are tired after a long trip like I was. It has a sister hostel Old town Backpackers which has a more lively atmosphere, parties and even a free sauna.
The kitchen is quite small so no big cooking going on. Staff is very friendly and helpful and will always give you tips on where to go and what to do.
Great place to be

Half of oil and gas companies have no information security strategy in place.
Only half of oil and gas companies have put in place a strategy to address information security threats, according to a survey of oil and gas IT executives by IDC Energy Insights. The survey of global IT executives also found oil and gas companies still lag behind other industries in formulating, approving, and executing information security policies, as well as getting buy-in from senior management. Of the top three information security threats perceived by oil and gas companies, the greatest is state or industrial espionage, followed by employee error or accidental loss of sensitive information, and vulnerabilities owing to insecure code, the survey noted.
Ignored water main break infuriates residents.
Residents in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, are upset about a water main break that has reportedly been spewing water for 3 weeks, KFOR 4 Oklahoma City reported July 28. City officials said the leak may look like a lot of water, about 2,000 gallons a day, but it is not when compared to the 190 million gallons a day the city pumps. The leak caused a stream along ditches and roads, infuriating residents. City officials said there is a priority list for what leaks get repaired first and since the leak did not impact property, it is at the bottom.
Chemical mess left at Kennedy Space Center.
NASA spent decades on sending men to the moon, launching the space shuttles and building a laboratory in space, and now it will take a century to clean up the chemical messes left behind. Plumes of carcinogenic chemicals used in the launching of the space shuttles, Apollo moon shots, and other rockets seeped deep into sandy soils beneath launch pads and other structures at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Merritt Island, Florida. They form viscous toxic goo that will take $1 billion in cleanup costs agencywide over many decades, and could bog down funding for next-generation spacecraft. NASA estimates it will spend $96 million in the next 30 years at Kennedy Space Center, including $6 million this year. The U.S. Air Force said it will take another $50 million to get the rest of its cleanups at Cape Canaveral under way by 2017.
Oil spill caused by theft at electrical substation.
A theft at an electrical substation in Surry County, North Carolina, caused a 1,420-gallon oil spill the weekend of July 30 and 31, investigators said. program manager, the person responsible for leading the cleanup. A sheriff said August 1 the incident targeted copper wiring contained within five electrical- distribution transformers at the site that were accessed after a section of a fence was cut. The transformers contained mineral oil, and after their steel covers were removed, the oil was drained to facilitate the wire theft. Electrical transformers are filled with mineral oil to achieve desired electrical and chemical properties. Those targeted in the weekend incident weighed about 300 pounds each.

Accessing Your Image Files Outside of Aperture
by Josh Anon
Over the next few posts, I'm going to talk about some topics that might appear simple but can be a little bit confusing. Today's post will be about how to get to your image files, both converted and RAW, outside of Aperture. Before we dive in, I wanted to take a minute to mention a new export plug-in that I released last week, called Lightbox XMP. It allows you to export embedded or sidecar XMP metadata with your master and exported versions. We'll discuss why XMP is useful when we talk about metadata, but for now, check out Lightbox XMP here.
Getting back to files, the absolute simplest way to access your image file outside of Aperture is to select the image (or images) and choose Images > Open with External Editor. Assuming you've set an external editor in your preferences, Aperture will convert the image and open it in your external editor. Under Aperture's preferences, you can specify what format (TIFF or PSD) and what resolution to convert the master to. Unlike Adobe Camera RAW, there is no way to specify a different size (e.g. open an 8MP file at 11MP) to convert to directly. Your converted file will automatically appear in your Aperture library, stacked with the source.
Another way to create a converted file is to select an image (or images) and choose File > Export Version. By changing the Export Presets, or adding new ones, you have the ability to convert your image to everything from a 16 x 16 pixel jpeg to a 16-bit TIFF file at the original resolution. This file will not appear in your library, but you can import it.
Yet often, accessing a converted image isn't very interesting. Especially now that Photoshop CS 3 lets you quickly open RAW files as smart objects (see the upcoming Photoshop CS 3 for Nature Photographers by Anon and Grey, Wiley 2007 for more detail), it's often useful to access your RAW file outside of Aperture. The simplest way to do so is to select the image (or images) in Aperture and choose File > Export Master. The downside to Export Master is that you end up with two (or more) copies of the master file. What we often want to do is to access the same RAW file from within Aperture and an external program.
Aperture 1.5 provides a new feature that makes accessing your RAW files outside of Aperture easy--referenced masters. Before 1.5, whenever you imported an image, it was automatically copied into the Aperture Library and hidden from direct access because the Aperture Library is a bundle. A bundle is a special type of folder the appears as a file. For example, if you were to browse to where your Aperture library is in Photoshop's open panel (unless you switched to the older Adobe open panel within Photoshop) there is no way to browse into your library and to find your RAW file. However, referenced masters provide a way to say "put my master images in this directory and link them into Aperture--don't move them into the Aperture Library." Referenced masters also allow you to have offline images, but that's beyond the scope of this post.
When importing files, switch to using referenced masters by changing the "Store Images In" popup to not be the Aperture Library. Note that you will have to backup your images folder manually, as vaults don't pick up referenced files, and if you export a project, you'll want to check the "Consolidate Images" button so that your exported project contains your referenced images. Should you decide after the fact to that you want to use referenced masters, select the images you wish to reference, choose File > Relocate Masters, and select what folder Aperture should move the master files to.
Under the File menu, you'll find two other commands to help you manage referenced masters, Consolidate Master (which lets you move your masters back into the Aperture library) and Manage Referenced Files (which shows you lots of detail about where the referenced masters are). At any point in time, choosing File > Show in Finder will open a Finder window to where your selected images' master files are located.
However, once in a while, you will find it more convenient not to use referenced masters (perhaps you use vaults to backup your library), but you still want to access to your master file directly within the Aperture library, e.g. to drag and drop it into Photoshop. Here's how to do so:
- Take note of your master file name or what you're searching for (e.g. all files that end in .dng). An easy way to find a file name is by looking at the File Info metadata view within Aperture
- Switch to the Finder and browse to your Aperture Library
- Control-click on the library and choose Show Package Contents. If you have a small library or want to search across your entire library (e.g. you want to find all .dng files), skip to step 5.
- Find the project containing your image, control-click on it, and choose Show Package Contents
- In the search field in the top right, type in the file name or whatever you're looking for (e.g. ".dng") and make sure that the find window which appears is set to "Folder" and not "Computers," "Home, or "Servers."
- The file (or files) that appears in the window is the real file that Aperture is referencing. If you get multiple results that appear to be the same image, look at the individual image sizes--the smaller ones will most likely be preview images and thumbnails
One final warning--if you use this last method to locate your files, do not delete, rename, move, etc. them yourself outside of Aperture. If you do so, bad things might happen to your Aperture library that could cause you to lose data!
Hopefully this has helped you understand how to access your image files outside of Aperture!

Lets say I have referenced files and I use Aperture to organize and rate my files but want to use Adobe Camera Raw for processing. So, I open the raw file in its location, process it with ACR and open it into Photoshop where I go through my usual retouch routine. Now, I have my PSD file outside Aperture. I want it imported and stacked/grouped with my Master just like I would have send the file to Photoshop from inside Aperture as a version. How do I do this? Can you make a plugin for this?
basically import and stack with correct master raw. Or even better recognizing psd files with the same name as my master and group those inside aperture...

|You could write an Automator script yourself to do some of this, but there is no absolute answer here. As much as the export API provides, it is just that--an export API and not an import/organize API.

Some of the big issues are:
1.) The system is very disorganized, there are documents from the late 90′s that aren't relevant, but have to be sifted through to find more current stuff.
2.) Often documents are not where they should be and are difficult to find.
3.) No one except Bob really knows how the system works.
4.) No one really wants to use the system because of the monster it's become.
My concern is if Bob decided to leave the organization no one would be able to maintain the existing system and we would be scrambling to put something new in place. I feel, for what we want to do, Google Docs would be an excellent platform for collaborating and sharing documents. The other board members, except Bob, have agreed with me, but are worried that bringing the issues with the existing system may cause offense and ultimately cause Bob to leave. Other than being overly vested in a system he developed, Bob is an important part of our board and a very valuable member.
We're already having a difficult time finding members to serve on the board so it's very important that we don't lose any existing board members. I'm hoping that I can convince the Bob to start supporting some Google docs objects on the site and try to wean him off his existing system to something a bit more manageable and collaborative that can be passed on to new members and maintained easily.
I don't want this to turn into old dogs and new tricks. I'm not that far behind Bob in years and can appreciate the difficulty of being told it's time to give in to something more modern. I'm wondering how the situation could be approached tactfully so maybe Bob will see how much easier a new system could be for everyone, including him."

Or ... Grammy Done Shook Her Moneymaker To Thissun!
There are songs a-plenty from my favoured musical era, which every one will know, but the chances are, many people will know the cover version better than the original.
Take the extraordinarily well know Blue Suede Shoes. Who do you know that recorded this? Elvis Presley I'm betting in most cases. Did you know though, that Elvis didn't record it until March of 1956, Carl Perkins released it three months earlier on January 1st 1956.
Johnny Cash gave the idea to Carl in the autumn of 1955 while they and other Louisiana Hayride acts toured throughout the Southern states of America. He told him the story of a black airman, who he had met when serving in the military in Germany, who had referred to his military regulation airmen's shoes as "blue suede shoes." He suggested to Carl that he write a song about those shoes. Carl replied, "I don't know anything about shoes. How can I write a song about shoes?"
However, when Perkins played a dance on December 4, 1955, he noticed a couple dancing near the stage. Between songs, he heard a stern, forceful voice say, "Uh-uh, don't step on my suedes!" Looking down, Carl noted that the boy was wearing blue suede shoes and one had a scuff mark. "Good gracious, a pretty little thing like that and all he can think about is his blue suede shoes", thought Carl.
That night he began working on a song based on the incident at the dance. His first thought was to frame it with a nursery rhyme and he considered, but quickly discarded "Little Jack Horner..." and "See a spider going up the wall...", before settling on "One for the money..."
Leaving his bed and working with his Les Paul guitar, he started with an A chord. "Well, it's one for the money... Two for the show... Three to get ready... Now go, man, go!" he broke into a boogie rhythm. He quickly wrote the song down, writing the title out as "Blue Swade"; "S-W-A-D-E – I couldn't even spell it right," he later said*!
According to Carl, "On December 17, 1955, I wrote 'Blue Suede Shoes'. I recorded it on December 19.**"
Sun Records released the second take of the song with Sun producer Sam Phillips, suggesting that the lyric "go cat go" be changed to "go man go", but the suggestion was not taken.
In Jackson, where Perkins lived, and in Memphis, radio stations were playing the flip side of the record, "Honey Don't." However, in Cleveland, Ohio, disc jockey Bill Randle was featuring "Blue Suede Shoes" prominently on his nightly show, and before January was over, the Cleveland distributor of the record asked Phillips for an additional 25,000 copies of the record.
Blue Suede Shoes became the side of choice throughout the South and Southwest. On February 11 it was the number 2 single on Memphis charts; it was number one the next week and remained there for the next three months.
Carl made four appearances on the radio program Big D Jamboree on station KRLD in Dallas, where he played the song every Saturday night and was booked on a string of one-nighters in the Southwest. The Jamboree was broadcast from the Dallas Sportatorium, with about four thousand seats, and it sold out for each of Perkins' performances. Music shops in Dallas ordered a huge number of copies of the record, and at one point it was selling at a rate of 20,000 copies per day.
On March 17, Carl became the first country artist to reach the number three spot on the rhythm & blues charts. That night, he and his band first performed "Blue Suede Shoes" on television, on ABC-TV's Ozark Jubilee.
He was booked to appear on The Perry Como Show on NBC-TV on March 24th, but on March 22nd he and his band were in a serious car crash on the way to New York City, resulting in the death of a truck driver and the hospitalization of both Carl and his brother. While he recuperated from his injuries, "Blue Suede Shoes" rose to number one on most pop, R&B, and country regional charts. "I was a poor farm boy, and with 'Shoes' I felt I had a chance but suddenly there I was in the hospital," he recalled bitterly.
Carl Perkins never attained the stardom of Elvis Presley, who, according to Perkins, "had everything. He had the looks, the moves, the manager, and the talent. And he didn't look like Mr. Ed, like a lot of us did, Elvis was hitting them with sideburns, flashy clothes, and no ring on the finger. I had three kids."
After Presley hit the chart with his version of "Blue Suede Shoes," Perkins became known more for his song writing than for his performing.
Carl's original version:
I prefer this one.
Elvis's cover:
* As a child, I couldn't spell suede either, I used to spell it swede.
** My birthday!
