This summer, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its first-ever energy efficiency ratings for corn refineries and cement plants. The new energy performance indicators (EPIs) are part of the EPA's Energy Star Industrial Focus program, aimed at boosting energy performance within leading manufacturing sectors.
Under the rating system, plants are scored on a scale from one to 100, with a score of 75 or higher recognized as "efficient." According to the EPA, a reduction in the energy consumption in cement and corn refining industries by 3% would cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than three billion pounds and save enough electricity to power approximately 187,000 American households.
The Energy Star Industrial Focus program offers energy management tools and resources for a number of manufacturing industries. In 2005, the agency published EPIs for automobile manufacturing plants. The EPA estimates that the Energy Star Industrial Focus program saved the U.S. approximately $12 billion in energy bills in 2005 and prevented greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of 23 million cars.
For additional information about the EPIs, visit www.energystar.gov/epis.

Ewing sarcoma is a type of tumor that forms in bone or soft tissue.
Ewing sarcoma is a type of tumor that forms from a certain kind of cell in bone or soft tissue. Other names for Ewing sarcoma are:
All of these names may be grouped together and called Ewing sarcoma family of tumors.
Ewing sarcoma may be found in the bones of the legs, arms, chest, pelvis, spine, or skull. Ewing sarcoma also may be found in the soft tissue of the trunk, arms, legs, head and neck, abdominal cavity, or other areas.
Ewing tumors often occur in teenagers and young adults.
Possible signs of Ewing sarcoma include swelling and pain near the tumor.
These and other symptoms may be caused by Ewing sarcoma. Other conditions may cause the same symptoms. Check with your child's doctor if you see any of these problems in your child:
Tests that examine the bone and soft tissue are used to diagnose and stage Ewing sarcoma.
The following tests and procedures may be used to diagnose or stage Ewing sarcoma:
A biopsy is done to diagnose Ewing sarcoma.
Tissue samples are removed during an incisional or needle biopsy so they can be viewed under a microscope by a pathologist to check for signs of cancer. It is helpful if the biopsy is done at the same center where treatment will be given.
If there is a chance that the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, one or more lymph nodes may be removed and checked for signs of cancer.
The following tests may be done on the tissue that is removed:
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) depends on certain factors before and after treatment.
Before treatment, prognosis depends on:
After treatment, prognosis is affected by:
Treatment options depend on the following:
Decisions about surgery may depend on how well the initial treatment with chemotherapy or radiation therapy works.
The results of diagnostic and staging tests are used to find out if cancer cells have spread.
The process used to find out if cancer has spread from where it began to other parts of the body is called staging. There is no standard staging system for Ewing sarcoma. The results of the tests and procedures done to diagnose Ewing sarcoma are used to group the tumors into localized or metastatic.
Ewing sarcoma is described based on whether the cancer has spread from the bone or soft tissue in which the cancer began.
Ewing sarcoma is described as either localized or metastatic.
Localized Ewing sarcoma
The cancer is found in the bone or soft tissue in which it began and may have spread to nearby tissue, including nearby lymph nodes.
Metastatic Ewing sarcoma
The cancer has spread from the bone or soft tissue in which it began to other parts of the body. In Ewing tumor of bone, the cancer most often spreads to the lung, other bones, and bone marrow.
There are three ways that cancer spreads in the body.
The three ways that cancer spreads in the body are:
When cancer cells break away from the primary (original) tumor and travel through the lymph or blood to other places in the body, another (secondary) tumor may form. This process is called metastasis. The secondary (metastatic) tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if bone cancer spreads to the lung, the cancer cells in the lung are actually bone cancer cells. The disease is metastatic bone cancer, not lung cancer.
Recurrent Ewing sarcoma is cancer that has recurred (come back) after it has been treated. The cancer may come back in the tissues where it first started or in another part of the body.
There are different types of treatment for children with Ewing sarcoma.
Different types of treatments are available for children with Ewing sarcoma. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment.
Because cancer in children is rare, taking part in a clinical trial should be considered. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Children with Ewing sarcoma should have their treatment planned by a team of health care providers who are experts in treating cancer in children.
Treatment will be overseen by a pediatric oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating children with cancer. The pediatric oncologist works with other health care providers who are experts in treating children with Ewing sarcoma and who specialize in certain areas of medicine. These may include the following specialists:
Some cancer treatments cause side effects months or years after treatment has ended.
Side effects from cancer treatment that begin during or after treatment and continue for months or years are called late effects. Late effects of cancer treatment may include the following:
Some late effects may be treated or controlled. It is important to talk with your child's doctors about the effects cancer treatment can have on your child. (See the PDQ summary on Late Effects of Treatment for Childhood Cancer for more information.)
Three types of standard treatment are used:
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy). Combination chemotherapy is treatment using more than one anticancer drug.
The type of chemotherapy given depends on whether the cancer is found only in the place it first formed, has spread to other parts of the body, or has come back after treatment.
Chemotherapy is part of the treatment for all patients with Ewing tumors. It is usually given to kill any tumor cells that have spread to other parts of the body. Chemotherapy may also be given to shrink the tumor before surgery or radiation therapy.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. There are two types of radiation therapy. External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer.
External radiation therapy is used to treat Ewing sarcoma.
Radiation therapy is used when the tumor cannot be removed by surgery or when surgery to remove the tumor will affect the way the child will look or important body functions. It is used to make the tumor smaller and decrease the amount of tissue that needs to be removed during surgery. It may also be used to treat tumors that have spread to other parts of the body.
Surgery is usually done to remove cancer that is left after chemotherapy or radiation therapy. When possible, the whole tumor is removed by surgery. Tissue and bone that are removed may be replaced with a graft, which uses tissue and bone taken from another part of the patient's body or a donor. Sometimes an implant, such as artificial bone, is used.
Even if the doctor removes all of the cancer that can be seen at the time of the operation, chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be given after surgery to kill any cancer cells that are left. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy given after surgery to lower the risk that the cancer will come back is called adjuvant therapy.
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
This summary section describes treatments that are being studied in clinical trials. It may not mention every new treatment being studied. Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Chemotherapy with stem cell transplant
This treatment is a way of giving high doses of chemotherapy to kill cancer cells and then replacing blood -forming cells destroyed by the cancer treatment. Stem cells (immature blood cells) are removed from the bone marrow or blood of the patient or a donor and are frozen and stored. After the chemotherapy is completed, the stored stem cells are thawed and given back to the patient through an infusion. These reinfused stem cells grow into (and restore) the body's blood cells.
Targeted therapy
Targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific cancer cells without harming normal cells.
Monoclonal antibody therapy is a type of targeted therapy being studied in the treatment of recurrent Ewing sarcoma. Monoclonal antibodies are made in the laboratory, from a single type of immune system cell. These antibodies can identify substances on cancer cells or normal substances that may help cancer cells grow. The antibodies attach to the substances and kill the cancer cells, block their growth, or keep them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies are given by infusion. They may be used alone or to carry drugs, toxins, or radioactive material directly to cancer cells.
Kinase inhibitor therapy is another type of targeted therapy being studied in the treatment of recurrent Ewing sarcoma. Kinase inhibitors are drugs that block a protein needed for cancer cells to divide.
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Patients can enter clinical trials before, during, or after starting their cancer treatment.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's listing of clinical trials.
Follow-up tests may be needed.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the cancer or to find out the stage of the cancer may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests. This is sometimes called re-staging.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your child's condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.
A link to a list of current clinical trials is included for each treatment section. For some types or stages of cancer, there may not be any trials listed. Check with your child's doctor for clinical trials that are not listed here but may be right for your child.
Localized Ewing Sarcoma
The treatment of localized Ewing sarcoma always includes chemotherapy. Surgery, radiation therapy, or both may also be used. The treatments and the order they are given in depends on the following:
See the Treatment Option Overview section of this summary for more information about surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy used to treat children with Ewing sarcoma. New ways of giving combination chemotherapy are being studied for localized Ewing sarcoma.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with localized Ewing sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Metastatic Ewing Sarcoma
The treatment of metastatic Ewing sarcoma always includes chemotherapy. Surgery, radiation therapy, or both may also be used. The treatments and the order they are given depends on the following:
See the Treatment Option Overview section of this summary for more information about surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy used to treat children with Ewing sarcoma. Chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy or stem cell transplant is being studied for Ewing sarcoma that has spread to the lung only.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with metastatic Ewing sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug.

Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." In the United States, about two-thirds of children with cancer are treated in a clinical trial at some point in their illness.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. For additional help in locating a childhood cancer clinical trial, call the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

NAIA Indoor Track & Field National Championships; Final Recap
March 6, 2010
Johnson City - JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Wayland Baptist's (Texas) Kimberly Smith extended her reign in both the 60-meter dash and the 200-meter dash Saturday afternoon at the NAIA Indoor Track & Field National Championships in the MSHA/ETSU Athletic Center on the campus of East Tennessee State University.
Smith, a junior from Claredon, Jamaica, came into Saturday's finals as the apparent favorite and did not disappoint, sweeping both events and extending her 3-time reign as champion. For the 60-meter, Smith ran a personal best 7.20 and followed up with a 24.17 in the 200-meter to take home the title.
"I had an open mindset going into it," commented Smith. "I had all the confidence that I could do it, but I knew I just had to go out there and do my best. If I didn't win I would have to accept it, but I am going out there to win and that is what I did."
Smith was also named the women's outstanding performer by the championship committee.
Oklahoma Christian's (Okla.) Silas Kisorio made history Saturday in the men's mile with a new meet record of 4:03.69, surpassing the previous record of Azusa Pacific's (Calif.) Aron Rono set in 2009. Kisorio, the men's outstanding and most valuable performer for this year's championship also took first place in the 800-meter run and ran on the third place distance medley relay.
"I was trying to be as conservative as I could because I knew I had the 800-meter in an hour," said Kisorio. "I tried to conserve energy for that. After it was over, I didn't even know that I broke the record."
Oklahoma Christian's Denise Mattoon followed up her win in the women's weight throw with a title in the women's shot-put to kick-off the day's events. Mattoon's throw of 49-00 ½ was two feet further than second place.
The Simon Fraser (Canada) women bested their previous championship record in the women's distance medley relay with their time of 11:39.22. The Clan set the previous record of 11:43.08 in 2005. Simon Fraser's Jessica Smith who ran the anchor of the record-setting DMR also broke the women's 1,000-meter championship best with her time of 2:45.85.
Just as she defended her title in the women's pentathlon, Biola's (Calif.) Natasha Miller was named women's most valuable performer for the second straight year. Miller scored 31.5 out of Biola's 40 total points to lead the Eagles to a school best fourth place finish. For the meet, Miller won the pentathlon with a record setting score of 3,992 points, and had first place finishes in both the 60-meter hurdles and the high jump. She also was on the third place distance medley relay and competed in the triple jump.
For the third straight year on the women's side, the team championship was determined by a single point and the final event of the day. Oklahoma Baptist (Okla.) went head-to-head with the two-time defending champ Wayland Baptist in the 4x400 meter finals to decide the 2010 women's champion. Oklahoma Baptist crossed the line first in a time of 3:44.94 to take home the title with a final tally of 68 points. Wayland Baptist finished second with 67 points, while Simon Fraser rounded out the top three with 66 points.
Azusa Pacific took home the men's title for the fourth straight year with a final score of 71 points. Wayland Baptist finished second with a final of 56 points, while Oklahoma Baptist was third with 44 points.
Coach of the year honors on the women's side went to Ford Mastin of Oklahoma Baptist, while Kevin Reid of Azusa Pacific took home the coach of the year honors on the men's side.

Similar to last year, each voter starts out with a total of 55 points, with their favorite album getting 10, second 9, etc. Voters who didn't rank 10 albums get both my disapproval and a proportional reduction in the value of their votes (10% less points for ranking 9 albums, 20% for 8, etc.).
Voters self-reported how many of the 61 best album candidates they listened to, and their scores were weighted by the following table.
|Number of Albums
|Vote Weight
|0 – 10
|11 – 20
|21 – 30
|31 – 40
|41 – 50
|51 – 60
The similar users section of the voters page is determined by a method that A) adds weight to any person who had an album also on your list , B) adds more weight if that person has the album in a similar position to you, and C) intensifies the relationship if you ranked that album highly. Because of that last stipulation, you might not be reciprocally similar to someone else. Given that the most similar users are spouses, girlfriends, and siblings, I feel it works pretty well.
=Sum(A*B + C) / Total Possible Points
=Sum( Person1Rank * (11-Abs(Person1Rank-Person2Rank)) + 5 ) / 600
The suggested albums calculation uses similar users to predict which albums you might like. I'd tell you the calculation, but A) I'm (still) holding out for the Netflix Million Dollar Prize and B) it's terrible.

HICKORY, N.C. – Less than 24-hours after they defeated the No. 2-seed and host team, Lenoir-Rhyne University, the No. 7-seed Georgia College softball team (37-16) returned to the field to take on the No 6-seed Anderson University (39-13). The Trojans jumped out to an early lead and despite a late inning rally by the Bobcats, Anderson held on for a 7-5 victory.
The Trojans advance to the Championship round tomorrow, Sunday May 12 at noon, while the Bobcats will now play tonight, Saturday, May 11 at 7 p.m. The Bobcats will take on the winner of the University of North Georgia and Lenoir-Rhyne game starting at this afternoon, Saturday May 11 at 4:30 p.m.

The Bobcats entered the bottom of the seventh with a four-run deficit, but the offense quickly started to knock away at the Bear lead. Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) and Abi LeRoy (Dublin, Ga.) started the inning with back-to-back singles. Taylor Campbell (Warner Robins, Ga.) continued her hot hitting weekend, knocking in Okvist with yet another single. Kelsea Martin (Dacula, Ga.) gave the Bobcats four consecutive baserunners without an out recorded, as she reached on an error, LeRoy came into score on the play making it 7-5. The Trojans tightened down, recording outs on the next three plays to end the rally and hold onto the victory.
The Bobcats enter the loser's bracket and will face off against the winner of the Saints and Bears game tonight, Saturday, May 11 with a scheduled start time of 7 p.m.

Tech Specs
Joe like to ride too.
It's a fast paced world, take your morning jolt along for the ride with the stylish, alloy Portland Design Works Bar-ista Coffee Cup Holder. The clamp fits 26mm bars, and it's 8cm top diameter tapers slightly to securely hold most coffee cups and travel mugs.
Indulge your inner hipster!
We all know bike commuting is good for the earth.
And the earth is fueled by coffee!
Not for me.
I purchased this with high hopes and sadly was a little let down. This held a coffee cup just fine. However it didn't fit well over my bar tape and was not able to hold an aluminum can. For these reasons I had to return it. If you are solely looking to hold a coffee mug on a bike with no bar tape then this is what you're looking for!
Matthew it does say Coffee Cup Holder. It wasn't designed to hold Aluminum Cans . I found the item quite sufficient. Also it IS adjustable. I found it slipped over my bar tape quite easily
Yes, ditto that Robert Cullin
Coffee holder.
I bought this to complete my wife's townie. Her bike is already cool as, but when I saw this, I had to buy it. Super cool, and looks great. The inside of the holder has a nice foam lining to give extra grip on the portable coffee mug, and also to prevent any scratches on it too. I'm a big fan and so is she.

If there's ever a time that calls for Champagne, it's the moment you learn that your 30-year-old theory of how the universe began has finally been backed up with scientific evidence.
On the heels of Monday's news that astronomers had found the "smoking gun" of evidence that supports the Big Bang theory comes this amazing video.
Stanford Assistant Professor Chao-Lin Kuo went to visit Professor Andrei Linde with new evidence that supports Linde's cosmic inflation theory. What is cosmic inflation theory? Addressing the camera, Kuo explains, "Inflation is the theory about the 'bang' of 'Big Bang.' It explains why we have all this stuff in the universe."
You see, gravity waves in the universe's oldest light show that the universe expanded to 100 trillion times its size almost 14 billion years ago — all in less than a second. Those waves have been described as the first tremors in the Big Bang. Duh.
Kuo approaches Linde's house for a surprise visit to deliver the news that the Stanford team has found data that confirm Linde's theory. Kuo knocks on the door, tells Linde and his wife, professor Renata Kallosh, the incredible news.
"I have a surprise for you," Kuo says. "It's five-sigma, at .2." Linde can hardly believe his ears, and asks to hear the news again. And then for a third time.
And then, the celebration begins. You don't have to be a genius physicist to see the joy on their faces.
Full disclosure — the people in this video are incredibly brilliant, and we have no earthly idea what they're talking about. Our knowledge of space began and ended with the destruction of the second Death Star. Nevertheless, the emotions on display are universal.

When I was a kid, I discovered this delicious salad at a diner on Long Island. A couple of years ago, when I was no longer frequenting the diner, I attempted recreating this delightful little side dish. I'm happy to say it really does taste like the one I always loved…
So simple – just mix:
- 1 can of chickpeas/garbanzo beans (drained)
- a handful of chopped fresh parsley
- 3 slices of chopped raw onion
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- sea salt & black pepper to taste
After mixing & tasting, add a dash more olive oil/vinegar if needed (I always eyeball the oil & vinegar amounts then adjust after tasting)


text: February 6, 2007 His Excellency Yahya A.J.J. Jammeh President of the Republic of The Gambia C/o The Embassy of the Republic of The Gambia 1155 15th Street, NW, Suite 1000 Washington, D.C. 20005 Via facsimile: (202) 785-1430 Your Excellency, We are deeply concerned about the well-being of our colleague "Chief" Ebrima B. Manneh of the Daily Observer, who has not been seen or heard from since his arrest seven months ago, according to sources in the media and human rights organizations. Manneh, the Daily Observer's State House correspondent, was arrested by plainclothes security agents at the paper's offices in the capital, Banjul, on July 7, 2006, according to sources who asked not to be identified for fear of retribution. His whereabouts, the reason for his detention, his legal status, and his health have not been disclosed. Authorities deny detaining Manneh, although CPJ sources say police are holding him incommunicado outside Banjul. Manneh was arrested a week after the African Union summit of heads of state, which was held in Banjul. His arrest was linked to his attempt to reproduce in the Daily Observer a BBC online report critical of the government, according to CPJ sources. The report featured a photo of you with the caption "Meeting host Yahya Jammeh came to power through a coup," and it discussed a proposed AU charter on democracy that opposes military coups and constitutional amendments to extend terms in office, according to CPJ research. The pro-government private daily never published the BBC report, according to local journalists. Shortly before his arrest, Manneh had an altercation with the newspaper's managing editor, Saja Taal, according to CPJ sources. Taal disputed the description, telling CPJ that Manneh did not report for work that week. A CPJ source said Manneh was initially taken to a police station in the northwestern coastal town of Bakau, about nine miles (15 kilometers) from Banjul. In mid-January, the private triweekly Foroyaa and the Ghana-based Media Foundation of West Africa reported that Manneh was being held at a police station in the eastern border town of Fatoto, more than 250 miles (400 kilometers) from Banjul. The story claimed that Manneh was initially held at the headquarters of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and then at the Mile Two prison in Banjul before being transferred to various police stations throughout the country. Government officials did not respond to the report, according to local journalists. Aziz Bojang, a spokesman for the national police, told CPJ in January that he was not aware that anyone by Manneh's name was in custody. Nor was Bojang aware of media reports about Manneh's status. Asked if police were investigating Manneh's disappearance, Bojang replied: "We don't have any basis to begin an investigation since no one ever filed a formal complaint." Sources close to Manneh's family said his relatives have visited several police stations around the country in search of the journalist, but officials have not documented their inquiries. Family members also made inquiries with the Daily Observer and the NIA, but they received no information, according to local journalists. Throughout 2006, authorities demonstrated an alarming pattern of holding journalists incommunicado, while publicly denying the detentions, CPJ research shows. At least five journalists were imprisoned in NIA detention facilities during the year despite official denials, according to CPJ research. Daily Observer editor Malick Mboob, for example, remained in NIA custody for nearly five months while the agency refused to account for him. In December 2006, the Daily Observer quoted a senior NIA official as saying that the agency had either released or transferred to the police and courts all of its prisoners in a move to "improve the agency's relations with the public." Manneh was not among the affected prisoners, according to local journalists. During last summer's AU summit in Banjul, you were among the leaders to sign a declaration marking the 25th anniversary of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. The document contained a pledge from heads of state to rededicate themselves to "ensuring respect for human and peoples' rights." Yet the secret detention of Manneh, without charge or access to a lawyer, highlights a glaring denial of due process. With Banjul serving as headquarters of the AU's African Commission of Human and Peoples' Rights, the actions of your government take on symbolic regional importance. We have seen no evidence to indicate that Manneh has committed a crime. In keeping with the spirit of the commission, therefore, we call on you to do all in your power to investigate Manneh's whereabouts and to ensure his immediate release. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. We await your reply. Sincerely, Joel Simon Executive Director

Earn $516.53 Per Day From Free Blogs
Now you can earn huge affiliate commissions using free blogs
Dear friend,
If your fed up of paying huge PPC costs and are desperate to increase
your traffic and affiliate checks then you need to read this post right
I have just been talking to my friend Rob Benwell who was telling me a
great story about how in the last few months he's gone from zero to
$516.53 per day in affiliate commissions without spending a single penny
on advertising
The story was so interesting I have to share it with you.
The story started a couple of months ago when Rob set up his first
blog. He set it up because there was a lot of talk about blogging been
the future of the internet.
He set it up. Got a few backlinks, 9 in fact
and then left it.
A week later he checked his position in the search engines and he had a
#1 ranking for the main keyword
. He was receiving a ton of visitors. He
also had a few other #2 and #3 positions for other keywords.
He looked into it and was shocked to see he had out-ranked sites with
thousands of backlinks. He told me he was so excited that he couldn't
sleep and spent the night up trying to figure out why this was happening.
He looked at everything different he had done with his blog that others
were missing. He set up others blogs which included ads for affiliate
programs and followed this method with a few little tweaks here and
He now claims to have
"cracked the secret code"
to getting a ton of
free traffic and keeps setting blogs up on a weekly basis. He told me he
expects his affiliate checks to double or even triple in the next two
Now you may be wondering what this story has to do with you. Well, Rob
has put together
an exact blueprint of his new system that takes you
from zero to huge affiliate checks like him
. It includes screenshots and
examples all the way leaving no stone unturned.
There is even a ton of stuff for advanced marketers in it that everyone
else is missing. It is truly the best course on blogging, affiliate
marketing and getting free traffic I have ever read.
I urge you to
check it out right now
by clicking below.
Rob is running a special offer today so don't leave this till tomorrow.
Kind Regards,
The Moneymaker
PS. He's even offering a free report just for visiting his site so if
there's just one thing you do today make sure this is it.

Yep, it's real.
If you have some experience with blogging and make a decent income
every month, then I don't suggest it as you probably know many of the
things inside.
Plus at the time of the post the tactic was extremely effective, but now it
seams to slowly start to deteriorate. You will probably have to buy another
software recommended inside (or get a free trial) -- it's $147 I believe.
So in short, when I wrote this I was sure it's brilliant and it also worked like
a charm then, but now I think it's a very nice beginners guide, but there's
nothing spectacular inside if you've been around for a while.
Hope this helps.
What I now highly recommend is for people to subscribe to one of the best
print newsletters online. It's called Trafficology and you can visit their site
by clicking here:
Visit trafficology
The main point is, you get the first two issues absolutely free. I was
personally blown away by the tactics they uncover there. It's on a completely
different level -- much, much higher than I ever expected. Real "guru"
material. I suggest you go for "Platinum membership" and after two months
change to Gold. That's like getting a $194 bonus. Also, if you don't like it
or can't afford the membership (it starts after the initial two months), you
can easily cancel and end up with two platinum issues of Trafficology for
I'm personally on month 5 now and every time I'm blown away with the
tactics presented.
Whew, that was a looooong answer to a simple yes/no question

Hi Workster,
I completely understand your concern. I've bought so many worthless
ebooks that it's a real miracle for me to buy one. I really do a thorough
research before I buy it. But I'll admit that I went and bought this one
out of sheer curiosity. I don't even remember who recommended it to
me, but I just simply HAD to have it as it was just what I was looking for
and about to write
Well, as it turns out, it is an extremely useful resource. It actually
confirmed some of my own observations and gave me some great ideas
I implemented immediately. Now I have 6 brand new blogs that started
getting traffic from search engines in no more than 14 days! My Adsense
earnings are going way up and my affiliate sales are doing quite fine.
All of the blogs I've set up in a way suggested in the ebook are on the
FIRST page on MSN for my primary keywords. One is actually No. 1 and
others between #4 and #5! They got indexed in a few days by MSN and
Yahoo! and in a few weeks by Google. After just a month and a half now
one has a PR3, one a PR2 and the others I haven't checked lately -- you
see, the process is "SET UP AND FORGET
". That's what I love the most
about it.
I don't blame you for not believing the sales letter, but believe me -- it
works. I'm sorry I can not give you the URLs to my blogs as everyone
would just copy them and get me out of business
Unfortunately people
are that way.
So, whether you'll
buy the ebook
or not I wish you tremendous success
Your friend,
The Moneymaker

For anyone wanting to make money online, affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to get started. Affiliate marketing is the act of referring online shoppers to various products and gaining a percentage of the sale in return. As an affiliate marketer, you are given your own links to a product so the seller knows when a customer you referred buys their product.

US aerospace giant Boeing has halted deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner but says it will continue to build the aircraft while safety experts examine its battery and electrical systems.
The announcement capped a week in which all 50 787s in service around the world were grounded on orders from multiple aviation authorities to investigate the cause of two incidents, including a fire, linked to its batteries.
''We will not deliver 787s until the FAA approves a means of compliance with their recent Airworthiness Directive concerning batteries and the approved approach has been implemented,'' a Boeing spokesman said. ''Production of 787s continues."
Dreamliners had been flying in Chile, Ethiopia, India, Japan, Poland, Qatar and the United States until their flights were stopped after a global alert issued by the US Federal Aviation Administration.
Boeing's chairman and chief executive Jim McNerney in a statement to employees defended his company and the aircraft against ''the negative news attention over the past several days.''
''As everyone inside the company knows, nothing is more important to us than the safety of the passengers, pilots and crew members who fly aboard Boeing commercial and military aircraft,'' he said. ''We have high confidence in the safety of the 787 and stand squarely behind its integrity as the newest addition to our product family.''
His comments came as US and Japanese experts began examining an All Nippon Airways 787 forced to make an emergency landing at Takamatsu in southwest Japan on Wednesday because of a smoke alert apparently linked to a lithium-ion battery, the plane's main electrical power unit.
''We removed the battery yesterday and are today inspecting the plane and its components, alongside the US officials,'' said Japan Transport Safety Board spokesman Mamoru Takahashi.
A picture released by the JTSB showed scorch marks on the blue casing of the battery. Much of what looked like wiring around the eight cells of the battery – the plane's main electrical power unit – was disfigured.
It was the second incident involving the battery, and one of several problems since the beginning of the year, including a taxiing 787 sprouting a fuel leak in Boston.
The problems have cast a cloud over the aircraft heavily dependent on pioneering electrical systems and lightweight composite materials that is meant to be Boeing's future.
No airline has cancelled purchases for the 787, but with 850 of the ambitious $US200 million-plus aircraft on order, a fortune is at stake.
McNerney stressed that since they entered service in October 2011, 787s have completed 18,000 flights and 50,000 flight hours with no serious problems.
But US Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood told NBC television that the 787 would have to prove itself again to US inspectors.
''Those planes won't fly until we're 1000 per cent sure they are safe to fly,'' said LaHood on Friday.
The focus of investigators was on batteries supplied to Boeing by Japan's GS Yuasa through France's Thales, two of many firms in a complex global chain of suppliers for the 787 program.
JTSB investigator Hideyo Kosugi said one theory was that there may have been insufficient protection offered by the batteries' surrounding electrical system.
''I'm sure that too much current or too-high voltage has gone to the battery,'' Kosugi told reporters.
The original release of this article first appeared on the website of Shanghai Night Net.

AMERICUS - The Georgia Southwestern men's basketball team cut a 16-point deficit down to three but could not get over the hump and suffered its third-straight loss, an 84-77 decision to Young Harris College on Saturday afternoon in the Storm Dome.
The Hurricanes drop to 6-5 overall and 2-2 in the Peach Belt Conference. Young Harris has won seven of its last eight contests and improves to 7-3 overall and 2-1 in the PBC.
YHC shooters were red hot in the early going, building the 16-point advantage behind 58.3 percent accuracy (7 of 12) from beyond the arc. The Mountain Lions led 40-24 with 2:43 remaining in the first half.
GSW shaved a few points off the margin in the closing minutes to trail 42-32 at the break. Unlike their opponents, the Hurricanes struggled from long range early on, making 1 of 6 from 3-point range. It's only the second time this season GSW has been behind at halftime.
After both sides scored four points apiece to open the second half, making the score 46-36 with 18:13 to play, GSW rattled off an 8-1 run behind four points from Alan Arnett to pull within three, 47-44.
Despite committing turnovers on their next four possessions, a Matt Shaw layup with 14:12 to play kept the Hurricanes within four points, 50-46.
The sides swapped baskets and with 12:53 to go GSW would get no closer, trailing 52-48.
Southwestern shot the ball well in the second half. The Hurricanes finished 20 of 35 (57.1 percent) over the final 20 minutes. Turnovers and fouls offset the 'Canes accurate shooting. GSW committed five more turnovers (10-5) and nine more fouls (15-6) than YHC in the second half.
The Hurricanes finished the game with a substantial advantage in rebounds (38-26) and points in the paint (56-20), but trailed in points off turnovers (20-6).
Coming off his first career double-double, Shaw led the Hurricanes with 24 points, on 12 of 18 shooting, and a game-high nine rebounds. Jamon Hawkins added his second-consecutive night of at least 20 points, finishing with 20 on 7 of 12 shooting. Arnett chipped in 11 points, five rebounds and four assists.
Malcolm Jackson, second in the PBC in scoring, finished with 20 points. He was outdone by teammate Frank Adams, who came into the night the fourth leading scorer in the conference. Adams scored a game-high 25 points and grabbed a team-high seven rebounds. Vince Martin added 16 points.
Southwestern visits Francis Marion on Saturday (1/12).

This question already has an answer here:
A lot of answers on here suggest linking to your Stack Overflow account on your CV. I only have 300 some points over on Stack Overflow, so I don't think I'll be mentioning it just yet.
Still, I'm curious to know how much reputation I should get before "boasting" about it on my CV.

For some reason these amps really piqued my interest when they came out (always been a fan of the laboratory aesthetic), but I could find little in the way of a review other than show reports. What really made my day was to find Jansch and Renbourn were used for the review; always nice to match the calibre of the music with the system!
Lamm Industries ML3 Signature monoblock power amplifier
I've positively reviewed tube amps that sounded wonderful to me, then performed poorly on JA's test bench. It was like having my pants pulled down in front of a large crowd of people. But Lamm Industries' impressive track record of measurements as published in Stereophile gives me confidence that this time my pants will stay upeven if low-powered, single-ended-triode (SET) amplifiers such as the ML3 Signature usually fare even worse than their push-pull relatives.
"Are you a technical person?"
That's what Vladimir Lamm, a Russian ÇmigrÇ and former rocket scientist, asked me as I prepared for this review. I told him that, yes, I am technically a person, but when it comes to amplifier circuitry, I am more conceptual than technical, and that I think that also describes most Stereophile readers.
So, conceptually, here's what you need to know about the ML3 Signature. It is a zero-global-feedback, single-ended-triode, class-A (meaning that a constant voltage, or bias, is applied to the tube's grid) monoblock amplifier. Although Lamm feels that using feedback is merely a Band-Aid, the ML3 does have two switches, offering 1.2dB and 2.4dB of negative feedback. These affect only the output stage, and serve to lower the output impedance. They're there, Lamm admits, just so you can hear for yourself how using feedback degrades the sound.
Four on the Floor
Vladimir Lamm's ML3 Signature monoblock amplifier with ML3-PS power supply is unlikely to win any awards for its industrial designor lack thereof. If you like 1930s-style "lab-grade" basic black, you'll love their looks. I do. They look like something from Victor Frankenstein's laboratory.
Each chassis weighs about 80 lbs and measures 15.8" wide by 8.2" high by 20.2" deepthe four of them occupy a lot of floor space. Chances are, if you can spend $139,490yes, that's the pricefor a pair of 32W SET amps, you've got the space. As with any product with exposed vacuum tubes, use caution if you have kids, animals, or anything hanging above or on adjacent shelves.
The design of the ML3 centers around the care and feeding of its single, direct-heated (like a light bulb), GM-70 triode transmitter tube claimed to continuously output an unusually healthy (for a SET) 32W, up to a maximum of 37W. The ML3's other tubes are a single 12AX7/ECC83 and four dual-triode 6N30P-DR, each matched to its socket. At the chassis rear, behind the tubes, sit two formidable transformer cases.
Among other premium components, the ML3's internal parts include military-grade Dale metal-film resistors; Caddock power-film resistors; Cornell-Dubilier and United Chemi-Con electrolytic capacitors; and Electrocube, Elcon, and Roederstein film caps. Connectors are gold-plated Neutriks and Fischers. Double sets of biwirable speaker terminals for each of the three transformer output taps (4, 8, and 16 ohms) line up along the amplifier chassis rear. Lamm claims the ML3 delivers its full 32W output from all of these taps into matching loads. The input is single-ended RCA with a "utility" XLR connection included for convenience.
The ML3 is fed by an enormous outboard power supply, the ML3-PS. Lined up across the front top of the ML3-PS are six 12AX3 rectifier tubes; behind them are four big transformer cases, though rapping each of these with a knuckle indicated that only one is completely occupied. The ML3-PS has separate plate and filament transformers, the latter located in the ML3 chassis, six filter chokes, and, in the high-voltage power supply feeding the output stage, the "highest quality" film capacitors. The ML3-PS is connected to the ML3 via a multi-pin umbilical.
Considering the price, all of that is the least you should expect. But more important than any of it are the custom-wound output transformers that are key to any tube amp's ultimate sonic and measured performances, and especially for a SET. Those transformers are any tube amp's "special sauce," and among its most costly elements. The ML3-PS's plate, filament, and output transformers, all also custom wound, are mechanically isolated from both the transformer cover and the chassis, and suspended within a special vibration-absorbing material.
Associated Gear Critical
Even with its relatively healthy (for a SET) output, the ML3 must be paired with a sensitive speaker with a relatively benign impedance curve. I heard two ML3s driving Wilson Audio Specialties MAXX 3 speakers in a large hotel room at a Consumer Electronics Show, and came away less than impressed. The sound was anemic and lacked dynamic drive and slam, though tonally it was mesmerizingly lush and smooth.
Now that I've got a pair of Wilson's 92.6dB-sensitive Alexandria XLFs (I reviewed them in the January 2013 issue), I felt it was appropriate to review the ML3 with them, and even though I'm not a technical person, Lamm agreed. As JA pointed out in his measurements of the XLF, "Despite the Alexandria's imposing bulk, it will play at high levels with only a few watts. (During the in-room measurements, performed at a reasonably loud level, the darTZeel [NHB-458] amplifiers' meters never indicated more than 5W peak.). . . . [T]he speaker will not be a difficult load for the partnering amplifier to drive."
Setting up the amps was easy, and Lamm makes it convenient to measure the output-tube bias, which is specified at 1.1V DCbut for $140k, he probably should supply a good voltmeter instead of an electronic parts catalog showing a good one to buy! I've got a good one, and out of the box, the bias of both amps was correctly set at 1.1V. Over the course of the review it eventually dipped to 1V for both amps and had to be rebiased, but otherwise, the ML3s presented no problems and needed no maintenance.
Lamm suggests replacing the 12 half-wave rectifier tubes in the ML3-PS every 18 to 24 months (about $120 total) and the ML3s' GM-70s every 18 months. He doesn't specify the cost of a matched set from Lamm Industries, but again, if you're spending this much for a pair of amps, you're probably not all that concerned.
The Stage Is Set for Sound!
But first, some perspective. I sat a few months ago with my wife, Art Dudley and his wife and daughter, and some others in the rooftop ballroom of Manhattan's St. Regis Hotel, where we were treated to the Emerson String Quartet and an additional cellist performing Schubert's Quintet in C Major, D.956. The acoustics were excellent, and our table was close to the stage. As I listened, I tried to analyze the differences between what I was hearing and the sound of the best string-quartet recording I've got.
First, anyone who tells you that the sound of any audio system even approaches what you hear when you're in a room in which musicians are playing is fooling themselves and you. (Of course, we like to be fooled.) The dimensional and spatial cues on recordings are wrong. Attacks in even the best recordings are ham-fisted and lack textural grace and complexity. Dynamics, particularly microdynamics, are stifled, and harmonics are either shortchanged or overemphasized. So no matter what, you're not going to get "live" sound at home.
The best solid-state amps always measure better than the best tube amps, produce greater transient speed and clarity, and generally produce far greater dynamic contrasts, and superior bass extension and control. Generally, solid-state amps deliver levels of transparency that few, if any, tube amps can manage.
However, compared to the best tube designs, even the best solid-state amps produce an overhyped transient attack not heard live and can sound harmonically drab. And often, solid-state's superior transparency is accompanied by an analytical and "crunchy" sonic aftertaste, with the leading edges dominating, and the harmonic envelope licked and closed.
Tube amps, on the other hand, are generally harmonically overripe, sound richer than life, slower and softer than life on transients, and lack solid control on the bottom. They tend to be noisier, bloomier, and "soggier" than life.
So where did the Lamm ML3 fall? In some ways, predictably within the aforementioned tube parameters, and in some ways well outside them, in a realm of its own. Thus, when it comes to gushing about the ML3's sound, count me in-within limits.
Yes, the ML3 sounded lusher and bloomier than life, with a midrange that almost landed in my lap, but it never failed to create a warm sensation in my chest that flowed up to the brain and lingered there for as long as the tubes glowed. And while the ML3 erred slightly on the side of bloom, it did so while also presenting the most transparent and open midrange I've ever heard from a tube ampmidband richness and transparency, produced in large part because this amp, despite its midband richness, was notably quiet.
Most startling, though, was the ML3s' effortlessly clean and airy high-frequency extension. The Lamms were ruthlessly revealing of differences among speaker cableseven The Pathetic Randi would hear them. Choose the wrong cable and the amp could sound hard and brightor slightly clogged in the upper midrange and meager and overdamped on bottom. Choose the right cable, and it was smooth sailing from top to bottom.
Speaking of bottom, the ML3 may not have had solid-state's fast, lean low-end attack, which is needed for the correct reproduction of amplified bass, but the extension was there and attacks were fast, clean, and nimble enough to produce a more-than-adequate foundation for even hard rock. Not the best there is, but better than expected.
While the ML3 produced the rich harmonic palette expected from tubes, the naturalness of its portrayal of instrumental attacks put it as close to what I heard in the St. Regis ballroom as I've heard from any amplifier.
The familiar vinyl editions of Bill Evans's Waltz for Debby (45rpm LPs, Riverside/Analogue Productions 9) and Live at the Village Vanguard (45rpm LPs, Analogue Productions) produced floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall spaciousness, and in that space appeared convincingly three-dimensional images of instruments that weren't tubey or diffuse. With the right speaker cablesin this case, David Salz's latest, the Wireworld Platinum Eclipse 7the late Paul Motian's shimmering, ringing cymbals sounded neither tube soft nor solid-state hard. Scott LaFaro's double bass sounded as nimble and natural as I've heard from these records. The attack, sustain, and decay of all three instruments was as graceful and lifelike as I've ever heard them, particularly the generosity of the sustain, which created (just so you don't think I'm getting carried away) an admittedly somewhat impoverished version of the floating, lifting sensation you hear live.
$140,000 in order to get stock metal boxes, no significantly special rare component, basic cabling inside, that ultimately will bring "more-than-adequate" bass and yet will be able to ruthlessly discriminate between speakers cables, speed light % or whatever.
And we're warned it's nowhere near the real thing... despite its muscular 32w feeding $200,000 average 92dB/w/m sensitivity speakers! Who would have guessed?
At this rate, it'll be cheaper to buy a lifetime of live concert tickets and live forever after with the memory of these performances!
And we're warned it's nowhere near the real thing... despite its muscular 32w feeding $200,000 average 92dB/w/m sensitivity speakers! Who would have guessed?
It's all too easy for someone to carp from the sidelines, and yes, these amplifiers are silly-priced. But until you have actually listened to them driving the Wilson speakers, as Michael and I have done, your opinion is meaningless.
John Atkinson
Editor, Stereophile
these amplifiers are silly-priced
You said it. So why don't you provide information such as the real cost of designing and building one unit and a thorough investigation to what should be the price as a result since you acknowledge the present price is silly?
Nothing in this open chassis suggests anything special in manufacturing or parts. A set of bulbs at about $120 is rather mundane... That this amp would sound good is the least this stuff can do!
But what is also too easy is to flog outrageous priced product and what amounts to a large slack on the technical level (euphemism such as more-than-adequate, in spite of bloomier, less than that attacks etc... when elsewhere you are counting the 0.0001%) given to this product as an argument of authority. Information over promote.
these amplifiers are silly-priced
You said it. So why don't you provide information such as the real cost of designing and building one unit and a thorough investigation to what should be the price as a result since you acknowledge the present price is silly?
I meant "silly" as in super-expensive, not that the price was out of proportion to its manufacturing cost or its sound quality. If you think this amplifier is over-priced, then please, do not buy it.
John Atkinson
Editor, Stereophile
I perfectly understand, "super-expensive", so please justify why with information instead of cult peddling. Are the transformers made of pure gold, the capacitances in platinum, since you kindly offered that the bulbs are about $120 bucks... Enlighten us
P.S.: For instance, some expensive speaker manufacturer is billeting their enclosures from solid aluminum. I may not buy their product but I indeed appreciate the information and do understand the process would make their product more expensive than particule board kitchen cabinets. Do I make myself clear?
You know the difference between this power amplifier and a kitchen cabinet, but you're asking someone who's not at all involved with the design, manufacture, and marketing of this product to explain and apologize for its cost?
Does that make sense?
No I am asking someone who supposedly offers a critical assessment of these products to offer information instead of arguments of authority. If it's to rehash the manufacturer's website, then what's the point? Where is the value to a potential buyer reading that stuff?
"Are the transformers made of pure gold, the capacitances in platinum"
What's with the obsession over the cost of the components? Who cares what the cost of the components are? Are you planning to melt it down for scrap cost? It's like saying you wouldn't pay more for a camera lens that performs better (because of the optics design) if it wasn't made out of expensive fancy materials. Or, all chipsets/DSPs are just made out of the same materials, right, so who cares about firmware/software?
The reviewer provided a critical, albeit subjective, review, along with objective measurements of the product performance. It's up to the buyer to decide whether that level of performance is worth the price. End of story. If you think another product is better at a lower price, don't buy it.
I am asking someone who supposedly offers a critical assessment of these products to offer information instead of arguments of authority.
I think you are reading a different review from what Stereophile published. We described this amplifier, informed readers what it cost, discussed how it sounded, and offered a full set of measurements, along with its specifications and details of the system used to audition it.
No, we didn't condemn it because of its very high price. While that will restict total sales of the Lamm amplifier, that alone should not preclude recommendation.
John Atkinson
Editor, Stereophile
On the contrary... I never asked you to condemn anything, on price or on whatever else but to explain what in the components, manufacturing etc... can justify such price. I even took an example to make myself clear. Yet, you keep misrepresenting my position. Fine. [flame deleted by John Atkinson]
Michael sets up the typical audio ignorant straw man arguement at the outset of the article: "Unlike Video which has standards such as grey scale, tracking accuracy blah blah blah---Audio has NO standards and is simply whatever the mastering engineer prefers."
Well, no. Actually this is totally wrong and part of the reason the High End is so full of horse puckey. Baloney about audio seems to permeate the Domestic "experts" and I for one would like for it stop and for domestic audio to start advancing once again leaving behind the snake oil and mystery which is so easily sold to the misinformed.
There are in fact many standards employed by mastering engineers. Simply peruse the lastest coffe table marvel from Recording Architecture, a british audio firm which is leading the charge to standardise mix, mastering and post audio playback rooms.
The list of audio qualities that they enclude in every project is as long as your arm. It is all designed to avoid the misery of old thinking---where every listening room had a different take on the balance and thus the hapless professional would go mad trying to find consistency in their work from one room to another. And from one playback type (Pro Audio) to another (Domestic Audio).
Even a superficial investigation of the big shots of the mix world would immediately reveal their dedication to standardising domestic playback results. The playback accuracy attained by the world renown mix engineers is a direct result of the "correctness" of their studio playback equipment and rooms. It is in fact part of the reason these guys make the big bucks. Their stuff WORKS.
Please go look on line at this subject. These guys work their butts off to make consistent standards of excellence which translate across the audio medium. There is a TON of stuff which audiophiles should be stealing in ideas from the masters in the recording industry. The pro guys use OUR stuff all the time. But thats just where they BEGIN. Their attention to setup is astonishing compared to the slap dash way most domestic audio is built as systems.
Most top pros use better gear the YOU do Michael. Wilsons are nice but I have seen lots of pro rooms where just the room itself cost twenty times what your entire system costs.
Apparently Michael has also been left out of the loop when it comes to the elaborate reference standards imposed on theater audio by THX. Mike should visit some of the elaborate designs that this industry builds in the determination to standardise playback fidelity to a high standard of excellence. Mix rooms may in some cases require the construction of actual movie theaters simply to make no mistake about what the consumer is supposed to hear.
I really do not appreciate this level of mis information coming from a professional audio publication. Please cut it out. Michael please go to school and learn what you are talking about. I love your writing and you have a ton of street level cred and knowledge but this subject has apparently been completely left out of your education with glaring omission.

In our ongoing quest for transparent and easy to understand pricing, we now have flat rate delivery charges.
Our usual despatch time is 5 to 10 working days from placement of your order. We can sometimes turn things around faster than this, particularly if ordering only one or two items - so if you have an unexpectedly tight deadline please give us a call and we'll try to help you.
Please note that occasionally we may have to charge an additional Θ12.50 for particularly tight deadlines if we have to get stock shipped to us urgently to complete your order. We will always do our best to avoid charging this when we can.
We have dealt with Classy Glass on previous occasions and the service and choice is always great.
