Brentwood, California (EastBayDaily) — Two brothers enter into a depraved alliance that takes care of their twisted need to rape and kill in this new novel set in the San Francisco Bay area. Alec, the oldest brother, stalks and courts beautiful women – preying on their loneliness – and takes them to the family farm to enjoy them in unimaginable ways. He has a problem, however; he doesn't enjoy killing them. Enter his younger brother, George, who learns Alec's secret passion. George is more than happy to take care of the women after his own time alone with them.
"Prospects" delves into the disturbing minds of violent men who live for the thrill of the hunt, chasing down prospects and planning the last days on earth for their victims. The brothers, on their own since a car crash killed their wealthy parents, don't lack for money or pride. When one of their victims is reported missing, a determined detective takes the case and soon finds other women are disappearing. She catches a break with a well-timed photo, but can she catch the suspects before they leave the country? The author creates a pair of unforgettable killers in this chilling novel of lust and violence.
This is the second novel for author Peter Bradbury, an English butler who lives in the San Francisco Bay area. "Stonebridge Manor," his first novel, was a murder mystery based on his working experiences in England. Bradbury, who enjoys writing books as much as reading them, is already working on his third novel. ———- For additional information, please visit http://www.pcbradbury.com.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick says on Twitter he's eager to have the truth come out in a Miami investigation involving him and two other NFL players.
Miami Police on Tuesday released two calls to a 911 dispatcher saying a woman identifying herself as Jesus was lying naked in a bed and refusing to leave. The callers said the woman wanted to spend time with a third man who wasn't there.
Police say the players also involved in the case are 49ers wide receiver Quinton Patton and Seahawks receiver Ricardo Lockette. None has been charged with any wrongdoing.

Hi readers!
Today I have a review of Sinful Colors "Let's Talk".
This colour is a blue-ish purple, or a purplish blue, depending on the light. Seems all my pictures captured the blue side of this colour, but you get a hint of purple in the bottle shots above.
I put 2 coats over 1 coat of OPI Nail Envy and topped it off with 1 coat of Nubar Diamont.
This colour is electric and it POPS!
The formula can be on the thick side at times, but it might just have been because I had too much on the brush. It covered easily in 2 coats, although 1 thick coat could also do the job.
It dries fast enough as well. Most of my coats were more on the thick side, and I put 2 coats plus a topcoat. I then used OPI Drip Dry because I did these babies last night just before going to bed and I wanted them to dry FAST, and they did.
Final Thoughts
I said it earlier and I'll say it again, this colour POPS! The formula is nice to work with, it dries relatively fast, and has a nice streak-free finish. This will definitely be used again.

|Gene Smith. Via forbes.com.
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith has torn asunder any secret dreams of Buckeye head coach Urban Meyer emulating his Michigan counterpart Jim Harbaugh's holding spring practice sessions out-of-state.
While Smith described Michigan's spring break jaunt to Florida as "a creative idea," he said that was not supportive of taking away student-athletes' free time to go practice."
Smith managed to play the Alan Iverson card when it came to expressing concerns of spring practice sessions eating into player's spring break.
Meyer tried to downplay the possibility of the Buckeyes holding out-of-state practice sessions last week. He did it in a "are you saying there's still a chance?" kind of way, however, saying "I can't see taking spring break away from players. That doesn't mean we don't research and keep an eye on it."

Amazon Web Services and Layered Insight
Enable Speed and Security without Friction
Layered Insight for AWS Fargate
AWS Fargate is a Container-as-a-Service (CaaS) offering for Amazon ECS and EKS that allows you to run containers without having to manage servers or clusters. Since you no longer need to manage the underlying infrastructure, security options are limited. Layered Insight injects security inside the container, removing the dependency of the underlying infrastructure. By leveraging AWS Fargate and Layered Insight, you can deploy and secure your container applications at the speed of innovation.
AWS Fargate and Layered Insight
"Securing the container application resonates with our customers. With AWS Fargate, customers realize that they only have to worry about securing their containerized application workloads, as the underlying infrastructure has been completely abstracted and secured for them. Layered Insight's approach is the first to support AWS Fargate with its deep visibility and fine-grained control of not just the application, but also the system, network, and file activities from within the container. Customers running AWS Fargate with Layered Insight receive the maximum protection for their container applications."
– Asif Khan, Technical Leader for AWS Fargate
Layered Insight for AWS CodeBuild
AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed build service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages that are ready to deploy. With CodeBuild, you can get started quickly by using prepackaged build environments, or you can create custom build environments that use your own build tools. Layered Insight scans to build to validate security and compliance of the container images. In addition, Layered Insight injects security inside the container, allowing you to monitor and protect the container in any run environment, including AWS Fargate. By leveraging AWS CodeBuild and Layered Insight, you can build and secure your container applications at the speed of innovation.

These words will not reproduce what I said in the long, narrow conference room at George Washington University last week, as friends and strangers and one stuffed elephant looked on. But take it—I tell myself, I tell you—as an occasion for putting some distance between authorial intention and the object, the text, so eloquently enchanted by others (beside and around me) in that space.
I wrote Claustrophilia as an account of a specific set of medieval and modern tropes (within and around enclosed space) but also as an exercise in critical poetics. The book began as a dissertation, but it was never my intention to write a dissertation, at least not in the sense in which I hear—from colleagues, from students—the conventions of dissertation writing enumerated with astonishing certainty. I wanted—and if wanting is not at the heart of this book, then tell me what is—to evoke enclosure, not prove that I had read all of the secondary literature about it. I had nothing to prove.
What I could not know, much less prove, was that the book would end up being taken in hand by a remarkably charitable community of readers and thinkers and lovers, not least among them the folks who spoke, last Friday, before sunset, in that narrow room. I could not know that Patrick O'Malley would speak of the "alchemy of metonymy" by which books and persons become transformed. I could not know that Karl Steel would speak of the doubleness of locking: up and onto, confining and adhering. I could not know that Michael Snediker would observe—would affirm—that the literal "teems with figuration"; or that Eileen Joy would show how, in a short story of Calvino's, "generosity engenders space"; or that Madhavi Menon would translate claustrophilia beautifully, and again metonymically, into a clusterfuck. I could not know that Jeffrey Masten would bring the materiality of connectedness—"but / and," the hinge between opposition and its non-opposite, in terms of what he calls "the difficult erotics" of the book—suddenly to the surface.
There was so much I could not know. I had never even been to Washington.
Claustrophilia was always caught—like a zipper, like a fly—between the specificity of its central figure—enclosure—and the worlds onto which that figure opened. Tell a story about claustrophilia (admit that you once liked, or still like, hiding behind couches) and you're bound to hear other stories (many of them, curiously, about elevators). You will be reminded, repeatedly, that an enclosed space can disclose a series of spaces; that limits and the limitless need not be thought in strict opposition.
If this book has done and may be allowed to do anything, I hope that it makes room for something, for someone; that it shows how there is always more room than there might seem to be—for various forms and figures of speech, for various kinds and kindnesses of bodies—and how this abiding roominess may be enhanced precisely by paying attention to what might "seem to be": our surfaces, our semblances, shot through with our depths.
Elevators and closets are not the only enclosures. Nets are enclosures, too. Linda Gregg writes: "there are fish in the net, / lots of fish this time in the net of the heart."1 This miracle—something we thought was empty is now suddenly full—does not announce itself grandly. "There are fish," the poem says. It is ordinary; fish are ordinary. But it is also miraculous. There are fish, yes, and "lots of fish," and lots of fish "this time," this time which is not every time, although—why not?—it could be. Something closes; something catches. And suddenly—or slowly, since fishing is not necessarily fast—there are unexpected, ordinary, temporary things, things that bulge and ripple like a heart. The net closes abundantly. It makes room.

Tag: sewing machine reviews
Sewing Machine Time!
In order to start this whole "sewing" thing, I needed to get a sewing machine. Wrong already had an old Singer Merritt 4530 that she was using. I wanted to get a basic-but-modern machine. For me, getting a fancy machine would be a waste what if learning how to sew didn't work out? But, I didn't want to go too basic, which would just be frustrating, and it did not make sense to not take advantage of advances in sewing machines.
I went with the Brother CS6000i, since it has good reviews and was economical.
I can really appreciate the modern features of my sewing machine, since I had to deal with my sister's old machine during the second pajama pants debacle. Loading the bobbin in her old machine was a terror, and one of the main reasons she almost stopped sewing. Loading the bobbin in the Brother CS6000i was so easy that I was skeptical, and spent about an hour reading the manual and trying to make it more complicated. ("It can't be this easy. No. It should take like an hour, at least.") Loading the top thread is easy, and it has an automatic needle threader.
One thing I am not happy about is the width of the free arm. To me, it just seems too big to fit things with a smaller circumference things around. I could be making incorrect assumptions about how it is used, but I can already tell that it is too small for me to fit my sleeve cuffs around. I am sure I will be able to figure out how to use it correctly, though.
The Brother CS6000i can do 60 types of stitches, and 7 types of buttonholes. I haven't really had to use these features yet, but am glad to have them. It comes with standard accessories (several different presser feet, a few bobbins, et cetera), which is great.
Compared to my sister's new Elna 5300, the fabric seems to feed a bit less straight, and I am jealous of her machine's ability to adjust the height of the presser foot to deal with fabrics of different thickness, especially denim and knits. Her machine also has 3 different settings to deal with different fabric weights (ie, something gauzy vs something heavy, like canvas). But, my machine is good! I think it is a good quality, economical learner's machine, and I think I will be happy with it for several years, at least. Plus, since her machine specifically says it can be used for jeans and t-shirts, I can ask her to make them for me!
So, the Brother CS6000i is the ideal choice for me- a perfect intersection of economy and functionality.

Series DUO
Strip edge trimming machine
DUO: deburring and simple strip edge trimming
The strip edge trimming machine of the series DUO works with 6 tools. It is employed for deburring and simple strip edging. Often the DUO is integrated into tube production lines to optimize the weld seam.
If the production speed is high and/or the swarf is thick higher energy is introduced into the process. A cooling and/or lubricating system will accommodate the higher strain. The modular strip edge trimming machine can be combined with modules of strip surface treatment. The DUO strip edge trimming machine is often integrated into a complete strip edge trimming line working as the main processing machine.
- strip width max. 2,000 mm (78.7″)
- strip thickness 0.1–8 mm (0.004–0.32″)
- contours: different contours
- speed: up to 300 m/min (984 ft./min)
- machine size: 700 mm × 1,360 mm (27.56″ × 53.54″)
- strip material: all kind of machinable material
- automatic opening
- hydraulic and pneumatic lifting
- lubricating and cooling systems for tooling
For high stress processing see also the new series DUO/S.

In the days before micro-blogging, text messages and social networking sites, the public were using the humble postcard to impart their thoughts and opinions.
Introduced in 1902, the picture postcard, containing an image on one side and room for writing on the other, became an instant hit according to a study by Lancaster and Manchester Metropolitan universities.
Using Postmaster General reports, researchers calculated almost six billion postcards - an average of 200 per person - were posted in Britain between 1901 and 1910.
With up to 10 postal deliveries in major cities a day at this time, the medium allowed users to write and respond quickly and cheaply, the study found.
Like Twitter, which restricts users to 140 characters per ''tweet'', postcard writers only have a limited amount of space to pen a message.
The study concludes: ''We suggest that the low price and efficiency of the Edwardian postcard has meant that as an informal written communications technology it was not equalled subsequently until the 21st century.''
As with the informal style of social networking, or ''text-speak'', which lacks punctuation and shortens words, leaders of the 1900s were concerned that the use of postcards threatened literacy standards, researchers found.
A postcard sent to a Mrs Rowarth of The Lamb Inn begins: ''A P.C. from you this mg. is it tomorrow or next Sat. the opening. if tomorrow it is decidedly off with me. & I am afraid it would be the same next week.''
The study said: ''The spontaneous outbursts of informal written communications were not necessarily welcomed as a good thing, but rather felt to threaten 'standards'.''
Julia Gillen and Nigel Hall, the authors of the report, will present their findings at the British Educational Research Association (BERA) conference in Manchester today.

Cantinflas: Ahí está el detalle
Qué buena se ve la peli de Cantinflas O_O Leía en la revista Chilango del mes pasado que su mismo hijo dudaba que la voz fuera del actor Óscar Jaenada: pensaba que habían usado grabaciones del Mario Moreno original.
La peli ha estado envuelta en una tonta polémica porque Jaenada es español ¡¿y cómo un español va a encarnar al máximo comediante mexicano de todos los tiempos?! Hasta Carlos Espejel salió a decir que no, que él debió ser el protagonista. Pobrecillo XD

ABC confirms Ugly role for Victoria
- List.co.uk
- 31 August 2007
Victoria Beckham will make an appearance on the popular US show Ugly Betty, with filming due to start in autumn.
The ABC network confirmed the cameo role on Thursday, adding that the former Spice Girl will play a celebrity bridesmaid for an episode of the comedy series.
It is thought the show will offer David Beckham's other half an opportunity to redeem herself, after a disastrous bid to launch 'Brand Beckham' across the pond.
The documentary expected to propel the couple into the celebrity stratosphere was considered a massive flop from both sides of the Atlantic, with critics slamming her sense of humour and 'vapid' personality. David Beckham meanwhile has struggled with footballing injuries, keeping him on the bench with new team LA Galaxy.
Posh joins a long list of celebrity guest appearances, including the show's producer Salma Hayek, with former Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek also in line for the Ugly Betty treatment.

Five Ways to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
How much do you think about your carbon footprint? Do you make an effort to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions? Whether you're an expert or a novice on greenhouse emissions, anyone can make a difference in their carbon footprint.
Our industrialized, connected, and global world increasingly contributes to greenhouse gas production, posing continued threats to our atmosphere. Even though greenhouse gasses are fundamental to our existence on Earth and life would be jeopardized without them, our continued reliance on fossil fuels and unsustainable energy drastically increases carbon dioxide buildup in our atmosphere. While carbon dioxide is an essential component of our atmosphere, the gas is a major contributor to global warming, and according to NASA, "rising carbon dioxide concentrations are already causing the planet to heat up." As carbon dioxide buildup in the atmosphere is a global problem, all of us are responsible for our own carbon footprint, or carbon dioxide equivalent, that represents our personal contribution to this global problem. With rising water levels, stronger hurricanes, and threatening heat waves exemplifying the consequences of carbon buildup in our atmosphere, it is more important than ever to take these five easy steps to reduce your carbon footprint.
1. Eat local and in-season foods.
A valuable symbol of our system of global trade, it is a modern breakthrough to be able to choose to eat a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables regardless of seasons. While this modern privilege is a blessing, it is easy to forget the true cost of foreign produce and out of season availability. Our ability to put food on the table regardless of location or season is a direct result of global transportation powered by fossil fuel. Intercontinental shipping of produce carries a huge carbon footprint, and at least 20% of our carbon footprint comes from the food we eat every day. While food is a major player in carbon buildup in our atmosphere, we have the opportunity to take daily measures in reducing our role in the warming of our earth. By supporting your local co-op or farmers market, you reduce transportation between farm to table, rewarding you with a reduced carbon footprint and a tasty treat. If local food isn't easily available, another option to reduce your food's footprint is buying foods that are in season. While it is extremely convenient to be able to buy a watermelon in the middle of December, the reality of the situation is that fruit bought out of season is shipped from another continent and carries a massive carbon footprint. By using this USDA site, anyone can educate themselves on food seasonality and reduce their carbon footprint.
2. Carpool or take Public Transportation
Do you feel guilty driving in a car that burns fossil fuels? By adding just one passenger to your commute, you cut your trip's environmental impact in half. The more passengers added to your commute, the more you can reduce your carbon footprint. Carpooling is becoming more and more prevalent with rideshare websites and apps, and by incorporating this change into your life, you can easily reduce your carbon footprint. If you live in a city where public transportation is available, this is an even better way to reduce your carbon footprint. By sharing your ride with the community, you can reduce everyone's mutual carbon production. In addition to reducing your own carbon footprint, public transportation is getting greener and greener, making major strides towards improving air quality, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, decreasing travel demands, and saving energy.
3. Turn off unnecessary appliances
Whether you're a techie or a novice when it comes to electronics, all of these devices are powered in one way or another. The power that charges our phones, computers, and tablets is a product of burning fossil fuels, ultimately giving our electronics their own carbon dioxide footprints. In fact, fossil fuels are a major driving force in creating our nation's electrical infrastructure, and whether your home is powered by coal, diesel, or natural gas, each of these fuel sources contributes their own individual amount of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. While most of us try to reduce how much power we consume, we often forget that most appliances draw power even when turned off. Even though one single appliance draws minimal amounts of power when turned off, the combined draw of appliances that are plugged in and unused directly contributes to your carbon footprint. By unplugging unused and unnecessary appliances, one can easily reduce daily carbon usage and give back to the environment. Additionally, sustainable home power solutions such as solar chargers and smart power strips like the ones found here are becoming more and more affordable as options to reduce both power consumption and your carbon footprint.
4. Compost
As recycling becomes commonplace, compost is a powerful way to prevent other forms of waste from spending years rotting away in the dump. When we throw things away, we must consciously think about the impact that creating unnecessary garbage produces, and composting is an easy way to counteract the growing waste disposal problem that our planet faces. While composting may seem like an option limited to those with outdoor space in their homes, the practice of recycling organic material has become easier and easier with cheap and easy compost bins like the ones found here. Also, many cities have already implemented curbside compost programs, joining the likes of San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle. The process of composting not only gives back to the environment by reducing excess waste and carbon buildup from trash, but also creates great soil for gardening and saves users money everyday. Whether you compost to create great soil for your garden or to reduce your carbon footprint, you're doing the community a favor.
5. Use Alternatives to Plastics
Many of us actively make an effort to reduce plastics in our life and recycle or compost as much as possible, acknowledging the effects that single-use plastics have on our environment. Using disposable and unnecessary plastics contributes to rising carbon levels, directly building the massive carbon footprint catalyzed by everyday items like plastic water bottles. Whether you're taking action to avoid disposable plastics by buying reusable, eco-friendly bottles like the ones found here, bringing your own tupperware for take–out items at your favorite restaurant, or recycling as much as possible, you can directly reduce your carbon footprint. Additionally, by pledging to a plastic-free lifestyle, you directly take steps towards building a better world and promote LoaTree's Better World Series project, which you can find more information about here. By embracing the growing importance of recycling and taking steps to avoid wasteful, single use plastics, you can greatly reduce your carbon footprint.
By taking these five steps to reduce your carbon footprint, you can make a daily pledge towards planetary protection. Eating local foods, carpooling, turning off unused appliances, composting, and avoiding unnecessary plastics are all easy ways to reduce your carbon footprint. By consciously thinking about your environmental impact and utilizing resources like carbon footprint calculators found here, we can all take steps towards building healthier lifestyles that benefit not only our community, but our planet as a whole.

Equine Events Media & Production
VIDEO Presentations are all about building and maintaining trust and credibility. The idea of creating trust between you and the customer sounds easy, but it often requires more work than you might imagine. A video inspires & ignites emotion, it creates a pathway from the eyes that creates a desire to want or need your product or service. A strong video presenting your business, service or product, gives you an 'evergreen' marketing tool that enables you to engage with your audience no matter where they are, what they read or which discipline they choose.
At Equine Events Media & Production Division we will work with you to achieve the following.
The Facts & Figures:
According to the Social Media Marketing Industry report for 2012, video marketing is the top area of marketing investment for 2012.
The study reveals that a significant 76% of marketers plan on increasing their use of You Tube and video marketing.
Videos promote better engagement on social media than standard text content; watching videos is among the top three most popular activities on social media.
Offering videos on a web site helps to retain visitors for longer. A recent ComScore study showed websites that contain videos hold a viewer's attention for more than two minutes longer than sites without this content. If visitors spend more time on a web site, search engines take note and consider the site to be more relevant. Longer viewing times can also improve conversion rates.
Videos are now also included on universal search engine results. Publishing videos offers additional opportunities to get listed on search engines and according to a Forrester research study, having a good online video marketing strategy can actually increase your likelihood of achieving first page Google rankings by up to 53 times.
A study from aimClear found that in search engine results, videos have a 41% higher click through rate than standard text results.
Creating videos allows businesses to tap into the huge user-base of popular video sites such as YouTube and Vimeo which would not be possible with standard text.
So how does it work?
Anyone can easily spot a fake message or empty promise. Be prepared to add integrity to your brand by offering your customers support… For example a lifetime guarantee, a customer service promise, all carry a very strong message and could set you apart from the rest.
If you ask your audience to invest five minutes of their lives to watch your video and listen to you speak, you must have a message that is memorable. You must leave a lasting message and a memorable brand, give them a reason to talk about you and pass on your message to their friends & colleagues. Our award winning design team will work closely with you to achieve this.

I really enjoyed this, have always admired Fremer, he was the only one in the 80's and 90's who carried the vinyl flag when everyone else was abandoning it, and as someone who never gave up on vinyl, I'm glad to see his stance has been vindicated. He always answers his emails and I value his opinions. Nice record collection as well as great accessories strewn all over the place. This video rocks.
Reviewer Video Profile: Michael Fremer
I find MF to be very earnest.
The vinyl haters will be here shortly to complain about prices, pops, and clicks, but MF keeps analogue vital and fun to talk about.
The vinyl haters are just haters, no time for them, too busy enjoying my vinyl. Besides, I contend if they hate it, it's because they have either never had their table properly set up or they chose wrong in their equipment purchase. In the end it's great to have Fremer pushing the envelope with equipment reviews as well as new vinyl releases.
...they can calculate the RMS voltage of thermal noise in turntable coils and prove that vinyl can never have the dynamic range of a good old CD :))
Neither vinyl nor CD use their full dynamic range.
In fact, many mixes for LP are geared toward LP listeners and have a wider dynamic range than the CD version.
If you think you are hearing more dynamic range on your new CD's than we are getting on vinyl, there's been a terrible joke played on you.
Depending on who you ask, LP can have a dynamic range of 68-80 dB. Do any CDs you play use even half of that?
There is a website that lists many recordings' dynamic range. It will depress you and you will need to find a different way to hate on vinyl!
Anton, I 100% agree with you about compression -- it is depressing, just like everything else associated with modern pop music and loudness wars.
I wanted to make a more theoretical point. A CD can theoretically reach 96 dB, but LP's cannot reach that even theoretically. If you take data for some typical MM or MC coils and take their output voltages, divide them with the RMS voltage of the thermal noise at room temperature and convert into dB, you might get 80 dB or a bit more. But that is the maximum that a LP can do if we assume that everything else is perfect. It will never reach 96 dB.
Now, all we need are CDs that take advantage of their 16 dB head start!
Classical artists ride gain, too.
I guess the coolest thing a system could do would be to access a database or 'pre-read' a CD and you'd be asked to select the peak volume and then the original dynamic range would be left intact with your known peak level and we wouldn't blow up our gear!
Yes, LP's might have higher dynamic ranges in some frequency bands -- the RMS voltage of thermal noise is obtained by averaging over the audible spectrum. As you say, they cannot beat CD's over the whole audible range.
I'd be interested in the original paper that discusses this. Could you please link the reference?
Thanks in advance,
John, your first link is broken.
What are your thoughts on some of Tim de Paravincini's comments re:
"I did my own summation—and this is from 20 years ago—that if we did 384kHz at 24-bit, we'll have a system that will resolve on a par with the best analog."
from https://www.stereophile.com/content/tim-de-paravicini-king-tubes-page-2
Great stuff, thank you.
We music hobbyists are a tiny group.
The Gigantic group of music listeners are the SUV Commuters who sit in their noisy cars for two hours per day.
Compressed music is ideal for them.
At home they have a 2k TV and Sound Bar, music for Video is much higher quality than the compressed CD stuff.
When I become President I'll outlaw compression for CDs.
Till then, the entire music CD industry will cater to the folks in the Cars.
So, if you wish to enjoy CDs, get in your car and go for a drive, GM and I will thank you.
Tony in Michigan
That was complete fun.
Which Minus K stand?
I am actually in the market!
Thanks Mikey, that was great. Also, Jana, the picture quality was great.
I had a shitty day, and my patience is thin, but it's almost annoying how apologetic you (all?) have gotten about the cost / price / entitlement thing. You have amazing perspective, and you've spent thousands of hours learning and accumulating knowledge, and I am happy for you no matter how you're compensated for that investment, as I am the beneficiary. I appreciate the perspective. Thanks.
I was disappointed to see such a vinylphile with such a small collection of LP's (joking!). Enjoyed this video, another great one in the series, looking forward to more. MF's collection of LP's is truly amazing and certainly drool worthy. Just incredible to be surrounded by so much music and history.
I hope MF has a university in mind for to keep his collection intact in perpetuity.
What a gift!
(I know nothing about his real world life, so I did not mean to exclude sons or daughters, etc.)
Grim! But that's okay....
Are you attempting Rosie and the Originals, "Angel Baby" at the end? Good way to end the segment :)
A bit long but very enjoyable. Made me long for the days when I owned vinyl (and a turntable). I get along quite happily with my digital files though it helps that I don't know anyone with a high end vinyl system.
A left handed vintage Strat is a thing of beauty but I wouldn't recommend that Mikey quit his day job.
The room treatment in a listening space that includes shelves and shelves of vinyl in parallel and perpendicular arrangements - not to mention the water tank(!) - well, that gave me pause for thought(though I am certain that it still sounds terrific.).
My wife did wonder why Mr. Fremer had so many copies of the same record. I understand why but I really wasn't up to trying to explain it to her. The wild and wacky world of the obsessed audiophile!
... "an unparalleled guru of ALL things analog"?
All things analog disc related, perhaps, but where are the analog tape machines?
Also, shouldn't the two tonearm wire leads (at the headshell) for each channel be twisted together to help reduce crosstalk and act less like an antenna for RF?
I didn't show a restored Revox G36....but it's there only for commercially duplicated 7.5IPS R2R tapes. The twisted pairs may make a difference in some cases but I don't have RF issues that are audible and because I do so much cartridge swapping beyond what most end users do, I am careful not to stress the wires by twisting them and the extra length is there in case a clip breaks off. It leaves sufficient wire to strip and solder. Consumers who buy the arm don't get such a big wire loop!
Another hit-Jana!
Keep writing and making these videos.
My guess is that Stephen Mejias is up next for the Jana video treatment. I'd also be very interested in seeing Jana visit Kal Rubinson to see how he has things set up for music in the round. Sooner or later someone is going have to develop the videographer chops to profile Jana.
After being in this business for a long time, I completely agree with this statement by Michael..."Everything makes a difference". Granted, some things make more of a difference than others, but your system will only be as good as your weakest component and nothing should be overlooked.
While I am certain that they are set-up to a fare-thee-well, were the Alexx's designed to be used in the space you have them in? How did you go about selecting them?
https://www.stereophile.com/content/wilson-audio-specialties-alexx-loudspeaker Check for your answer there.
Jason, was I talking to you?
Anyhoo, it just seems odd; those huge speakers in that cramped little space.
How could virtually any reader's/prospective buyer's impressions not vary?
"Cramped"? Well filled with "stuff" but not really "cramped". And it is about 15' x21' feet, which is not "little". It's a testament to Dave Wilson's design theories that the speakers work so well in the space...
Your room actually sounds good, don't know what people are complaining about. Of the three reviewer's rooms I've heard on Jana's videos, yours sounds best (JA's worst, it honks and you can hear trucks rumble by).
Edit - I take that back, just listened to a snippet of Michael Lavorgna's "barn" room and it is much worse - RT60 is waaaay too long to be useful as a listening room and is much more appropriate to a live performance space for acoustic music.
I also wish people would stop framing digital vs vinyl as one being objectively better - they both have distortions, it's just a matter of which you prefer. I have exactly one piece of equipment in common with you - I still have a Pioneer Elite CD player with the upside down tray that I bought new in '92. The analog outs are kinda hosed but who wants to listen to D/A converters from '92?
One last thing, the story about the furries was freakin' hilarious.
Sean casey of Zu Audio was recently demonstrating some gear and he talked a little about "room treatments."
He summed it up well.
"Have a room with lots of different stuff in it, especially record shelves. Furniture, nick knacks, all the stuff of an interesting life."
He said, "All that stuff will add up to a great acoustic space."
I like the advice and think MF is living proof of how his stuff adds up to a great sounding room."
There are only videos, but he sounded great. No slap echo, no extended reverb time, he sounded natural."
Art Dudley's room seemed very live, in comparison, which may suit him fine, but it was much more reverberant than MF's area. I thought Art's room would be sonically tough.
However, only MF and Michael Lavorgna have allowed full/open views of where they sit and how the room is set up. Herb's room and Art's room were never revealed in full. (Not a complaint, just discussing.)
Anyway, I think MF's room seems like the sound would be very very good.
(He's not a reviewer, but I bet High Water Sound's room sounds pretty good, too.)
...you think you know what my room sounds like from a YouTube video.
Michael Lavorgna
Editor, AudioStream.com
it's not that difficult to hear the long reverb decay. Jana is standing nearer to you than you sit to your speakers. As I said, it would make a nice performance space for acoustic music. By the way, you are the reason I don't read Audio Stream (but I do read Stereophile (from way back), Inner Fidelity, Analog Planet, and Sound & Vision). That is how genuinely unpleasant I find you to be.
FYI - among other credits, I recorded the 1991-1992 season of Austin Symphony Orchestra... so I know a thing or two about mics, acoustic spaces, and recording. Here's something I recorded that you might like:
...you are wrong but too pompous to recognize it. Your resume doesn't change this fact.
Dang, it posted double. Apologies.
Please quote me where I commented on how your room sounded, as I don't recall it. If you do, I will try to give a better answer. I said your room sounded how?
Answering the broader question, could you tell if I was recording a video in a very lively room or a more dead room from a video?
I think, yes.
Try it yourself, compare the sound from Art's video to this one.
Art's room had a much more lively sound, even on You Tube. Try it, you'll see!
I said this about MF's room: "There are only videos, but he sounded great. No slap echo, no extended reverb time, he sounded natural."
As to humorous....
You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm humorous how, I mean humorous like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean humorous, humorous how? How am I humorous? Because I can hear echo on a You Tube video? ;-D
...I responded to "supamark". Not you.
As far as hearing echo in a video goes, that tells you as much about how a room sounds as the color of the walls.
Different experiences!
That's the beauty of our subjective hobby.
I can even hear differences on MF's different needle drop files while listening on my crappy computer at work. I know I shouldn't but I do.
...about how a room sounds from watching a YouTube video? I wouldn't if I was you because it's foolish.
Imagine if I said I am convinced that you are a chipmunk. How much time & energy would you spend seriously trying to refute that?
So...if you think you know what a room sounds like based on a YouTube video, you are clearly a chipmunk.
I am convinced that you are convinced! In keeping with the rule that no internet discussion ever changed anyone's mind, I will leave you to your belief(s)!
With love,
Dale. (Or, maybe I am Chip.)

...better than anyone who has never been in it. If that makes this a zero sum game, then I am guilty as charged.
I owned the even bigger XLFs before these. I owned the MAXX3s after reviewing them bought them. They offered the bigger XLFs for review and I was incredulous. Wilson's Peter McGrath was very familiar with my room and was sure they would work and they did. So then I reviewed the Alexx and liked them even better particularly midband transparency and speed thanks to 4 way design that used a mid and upper mid instead of two mids in a MTM configuration. I've had many other good speakers in the room that I'd considered, especially the big Vandersteens, the Marten Coltrane IIIs and the Magico Q5s. The Vandersteens have a powered woofer and I felt I couldn't use them to review amplifiers because of that so they were out. I realize how it LOOKS. But what matters is how it SOUNDs. Even the "Wilson haters" I know think the system sounds great. Of course more importantly I do.
BTW, Mikey's impression of a stroke victim reminded me of the 2016 US presidential campaign.
Yea goodie, brain damage and physical disability are always good for some laughs.....
The humor was not about "brain damage" or at the expense of the stroke victim. The humor sprang from the RECORD situation....do you think I would otherwise have made some "stroke jokes"? My father suffered a very debilitating stroke and was stuck in a bed for the last 6 years of his life so I understand that.... I think you focused on the wrong thing..
I totally got the joke and fully understood where the humor sprang from though I think it would have gone over better without the impression. I personally have some very subtle and minor balance issues after suffering 3 cerebellar strokes(thankfully I've been stroke free for the past 7 years and, yes, I count myself very fortunate).
A wonderful journey into the home and the mind of Michael Fremer. Thanks for sharing you multi decade obsession with vinyl. I can't imagine my enjoyment while playing music being quite the same without vinyl records, but I can imagine vinyl records not being the same as they are now without your efforts to keep the medium alive, well, and expanding from those dark days of the digital plague that nearly did in the vinyl format.
get some freakin' lavalier mics!! Every time Mike walked off camera the treble disappeared because he was off axis from your mic, and every time he walked towards you the bass in his voice increased due to proximity effect (and got thin when he walked away). This is an audiophile magazine, getting the audio right is kinda important to the readers (or it should be).
Another super informative video that allows us into the rooms and lives of the reviewers.
I had never heard the Porgy & Bess record you showed us but went ahead and listened to it via TIDAL. It sounded amazing so the LP must be out of this world good. What a performance! I listened to it 3 times.
The darTZeel gear looks remarkably cool.
I took the stroke victim moment as mean even though I don't think Fremer was doing that intentionally.
I agree. I'm absolutely certain that no malice was intended. As I see it, it just didn't belong in what was otherwise a very enjoyable experience. Michael says we're focusing on the wrong thing. I say it's hard to ignore. It should have either been cut or presented a different way. There's no disrespect for Michael intended here. I loved the video up until that point.
Thanks for the tour! As an analog photography enthusiast it was great to see the Jim Marshall original prints.
Do the digital vs. analog photo forums fall along this sort of line?
Good lord, what a fight that would be!
Mostly the debate is pointless! Both are great, but very different. An original silver gelatin (darkroom) print is a thing of beauty. Many great working photographers still shoot film for fun. The process is enjoyable and in spite of shooting fewer frames, often the results are better with film because you concentrate more so as not to waste film. In the same way, vinyl lovers wouldn't spend their hard earned cash on a terrible record! You make an informed choice or take a calculated risk, but never just spend money for apathetic background noise! There are many parallels!
i am learning way more than i thought i would. watching this was very informative and enjoyable! your videos and side comments are great, wish you would do more of them and go through your collection, or anything!
And still working: John Atkinson's one. Mike Fremer's the other one.
Everyone else is either an industry shill or wack job.
Beyond that, Mr. Fremer's a laser-sharp mind, warm and engaging, and funny as hell. I loved it - "I get up every morning and stream for a while..." - hilarious!
The most awesomest two minutes in movie vinyl history...
What is the microscope used for?

R, Dewi Lusiana Syalindra and Santoso, Erick (2007) Brand analysis based on seven pieces of marketing mix from domestic and foreign customer perception in Dynasty Restaurant. Bachelor thesis, Petra Christian University.Full text not available from this repository.
This research was written to analyze about the brand of Dynasty Restaurant, Amsterdam, based on the perception of the customers that comes from inside of Netherlands (domestics) or from outside Netherlands (foreigners) that is measured by 7P?s (seven pieces of marketing mix). Dynasty is very famous and popular in Netherlands especially in the upper class society which are rich people and artists and also there are a lot of foreigners who come to Amsterdam special for having dinner in Dynasty restaurant. Because of this, the writers would like to know how exactly the brand of the Dynasty restaurant is, based on the perception of the domestic and foreign customers.

Tuesday 4 February 2003
Question: As you fly into land you see a herd of elephants drinking at a waterhole near to the runway. Then, as soon as you step out of the plane, sniffing the fresh air and protecting your eyes against the harsh midday sun, you are surrounded by brightly coloured superb starlings and topi graze in the distance. Where are you?
Answer: The Serengeti
Within minutes of landing at the Seronera airstrip, in the central Serengeti, my safari companion and I are driving through the Seronera valley when we spot a female leopard resting on the thick branch of a sausage tree. Steven, our driver, who I have known for over five years since he attended my wedding at the Mountain Village Lodge, near Arusha, and then drove my wife and I on our subsequent honeymoon, has already surpassed himself with this sighting and his amazing ability to spot well camouflaged flora and fauna. Later, we see a pod of hippos grunting noisily and an enormous crocodile sunning itself on the banks of the Seronera river. Later still we see another herd of elephants, maybe 40 strong, striding noiselessly through the trees. And all of this within 30 minutes of landing in the Serengeti - very quickly the long flight from London the day before and a disrupted night's sleep in Arusha are forgotten.
After watching the elephants going about their business for a while - and protecting their young by sandwiching them between the bodies of adult females as they do so - it is time to move on as we are relaxed (and excited enough) for the long drive south from the Seronera area of the central Serengeti to the Ndutu lodge, just outside the southern tip of the park. The journey is nearly 50 miles and takes you through the long grass plains which stretch as far as the eye can see before colliding head on with the horizon. Depending on the time of the year these plains are either empty or full of migrating herds of wildebeest and zebras – there is little in between. Now they are relatively empty as the migration is already further south. As you drive through this sea of grass you see the occasional kopje (or granite outcrop) which not only break up the scenery but which have been colonised by different grasses, bushes and trees, and are home to all manner of animals, birds, lizards and insects. Here you must be careful not to drive too fast as if you do so you may miss a lion or leopard sunning itself or surveying the surrounding plains for its next meal.
Other than these giant protrusions, today, everything on the plains is quiet. We stop at the Naabi Hill Gate and are immediately surrounded again by the ubiquitous and very tame superb starlings. 'Do Not Feed The Birds', reads a large sign upon which is perched five of these beautiful birds, eagerly anticipating a handout. As our driver, Steven, pays the park fees we climb to the top of the hill, observing the many different varieties of birds and the Agama lizards as we go. Once at the top we look out at the plains in all directions before noticing a tree full of black kites - and marvel afresh at the sheer scale of it all.
Approximately one hour later we are enjoying an excellent lunch at the wonderful Ndutu Lodge, just to the south of Lake Ndutu. I am a vegetarian but at 20 minutes notice the chef has whipped up a delicious vegetable bake from the extensive fresh produce at his disposal trucked in on a regular basis from the nearby Gibbs Farm in Karatu. As we eat we watch scarlet-chested sunbirds, white-headed buffalo weavers and still more superb starlings frolic in the bird bath just next to the dining area, and later, as we walk the two minute walk from the main lodge area to our chalet we see a huge old bull elephant feeding quietly about one hundred metres away towards Lake Ndutu.
After a short siesta, we have our first view of the migration to the north and west of the lake. On the gentle slopes leading up and away from these sides of the lake we see thousand upon thousand of wildebeest and zebra in all directions. Many of the wildebeest are still pregnant in these herds and although a majority of the zebra have foals there are not many wildebeest calves in evidence yet. In the middle of all these chomping animals there is a large circular oasis of empty grass. Intrigued, we drive into it and immediately spot three cheetah - a mother and two adolescent males. They are uncharacteristically nervous, perhaps having recently been chased away by other predators. We watch them for a while from a safe distance, admiring their understated elegance and general healthy condition, before continuing on up to the marsh, where yet more migratory herds are drinking.
This evening we have plenty to reflect upon over supper. As we do so we notice two pairs of eyes observing us from the rafters above us - two genets! These beautiful spotted creatures with long tails and slender bodies, resembling small cats, but actually closely related to the mongoose family are residents at the lodge and in fact some 14 (at the last count) live in and around the lodge - controlling the insect and rodent population effectively, as well as entertaining the diners!
That night we drift off to sleep to the sound of hyenas calling. Fortunately we have left nothing outside our chalet, as the next day we hear that a neighbour's pair of walking boots have been chewed up by a wandering hyena, and in the previous weeks, tents, all manner of clothes, and even a large pair of binoculars have been destroyed by these marauding thugs!

Dress: Quiz, Sandals: Zara
Hi girls <3 I`m very busy studying for exams, so I don`t have time for blog. I really have to set up my priorities, so I`m apologizing for the lack of posts this month.
This dress was my absolute must have! As soon as I saw it, I knew it had to be mine. It fits perfectly, and I love how you can wear it during day and night.
Also, I have to say I had a little incident while making these photos. I actually fainted because of dehydration, and since I fell, I ended up with a few wounds. Don`t worry it`s nothing serious, just bled a little, and got a couple of bruises. But this definitely taught me a lesson! Never ever go out without a bottle of water on any kind of heat. Even a small bottle isn`t enough, make sure you drink at least 2 liters of water, especially if you have low blood pressure like I do. Take care! xx

Peplum top
Friday, June 7, 2013
Hi lovelies <3 I have an exam tomorrow, so I`m in a huge rush. Yesterday I took these photos and I must say I`m in love with this PersunMall peplum top! It looks unbelievable, and I decided to combine it with simple pair of blue jeans. At first I thought beige or white pants would suit better, but it seemed too boring, so I chose this combination with more colors. I love how pink lipstick gives that fashion "edge", and it literally lifts up the whole outfit. What do you think about it? How would you combine this top? And wish me luck for tomorrow! xx
Thanx for reading <3 Luv Lara

New virtual alternatives are drawing attention and business away from professional services in all sorts of industries—from travel and marketing agencies to wealth management and banking. Yet, they haven't made much of an impact on real estate professionals or their fees.
In fact, most technological innovations and real estate apps have benefited you as much as your clients, such as those products that make finding homes and detailed information on neighborhoods even easier. What keeps online and robo-solutions from making inroads into your territory?
The answer: the person-to-person powers of Real Estate Agents.
Power #1: Leg Work Matters
Buying a home can be a full-time job. Fortunately for your clients, it's your job. Homebuyers, especially younger homebuyers, are willing to do the initial homework themselves. They'll go online, take video tours, and talk to friends, but they still need you to interpret what they learned into a list of homes to walk through that won't waste their time.
Power #2: Knowing What's Fair
After the qualitative help, homebuyers and sellers need assistance determining if the offering price is fair. Again, it's your feet on the pavement, and neighborhood knowledge regarding amenities, school quality, and economic health—factors that impact market value—that adds context to what clients read on the Internet.
Power #3: The Ability to Reach an Agreement
The thing you bring to the table that no technological solution can is that you are able to listen, evaluate, support, and advise. Whether you step in to handle negotiations regarding the offer, help address issues arising after an appraisal or inspection, or review closing documents to minimize errors, you've got your client's back throughout the transaction.
Power #4: Human Nature
What is different in this industry is the nature of the transaction itself. Buying a home is complicated and involves a very high-ticket item. Homes take years to pay off, which can make any mistakes at purchase…or when selling…expensive.
More importantly, clients are also buying more than a piece of real estate, a tangible thing. They are buying a home, a place where memories are made and their lives are lived. Essentially, a home is a very human purchase, which makes the process of buying one harder to delegate to a do-it-yourself or virtual solution.
Making Your Case
When you present yourself to potential homebuyers and sellers, it helps to remind them that the service you offer is multidimensional, as well as practical, financial and emotional in nature. Home buying is not like purchasing a piece of equipment that will be used until it needs to be replaced—like a refrigerator or a car. It's an ongoing experience that often lasts a lifetime.
As their guide, you help your clients enjoy their home owning adventures for years to come, and the human factor is irreplaceabl

LACA: Celestial Object - Black Diamond In The Rough
This presentation and subsequent talkback/panel discussion is an invitation for a community to consider the color 'Black' as it is deployed in art and culture. By unpacking the legacy of Blackness (its origins, meanings and weight) we can better account for how Blackness functions in the present. We live in a world marred by contrast - a world that vilifies the color - a world where Black functions as an eraser and, also, a highlighter. We invite you to consider the following inquiries.
Moderator and lecturer - Jahmal B Golden
Curator - Jasmine Nyende
Panelists - Sarah Gail Armstrong, Kelman Duran, Jasmine Nyende

The International Workingmen's Association. Wilhelm Eichhoff 1869
These follow in the final, essentially unchanged, wording as sanctioned by the Geneva Congress (1866):
That the emancipation of the working classes must be conquered by the working classes themselves; that the struggle for the emancipation of the working classes means not a struggle for class privileges and monopolies, but for equal rights and duties, and the abolition of all class rule;
That the economical subjection of the man of labour to the monopoliser of the means of labour, that is the sources of life, lies at the bottom of servitude in all its forms, of all social misery, mental degradation, and political dependence;
That the economical emancipation of the working classes is therefore the great end to which every political movement ought to be subordinate as a means;
That all efforts aiming at that great end have hitherto failed from the want of solidarity between the manifold divisions of labour in each country, and from the absence of a fraternal bond of union between the working classes of different countries;
That the emancipation of labour is neither a local, nor a national, but a social problem, embracing all countries in which modern society exists, and depending for its solution on the concurrence, practical and theoretical, of the most advanced countries;
That the present revival of the working classes in the most industrious countries of Europe, while it raises a new hope, gives solemn warning against a relapse into the old errors, and calls for the immediate combination of the still disconnected movements;
For these reasons: –
The first International Working Men's Congress declares that this International Association and all societies and individuals adhering to it will acknowledge truth, justice, and morality, as the basis of their conduct towards each other, and towards all men, without regard to colour, creed or nationality;
This Congress considers it the duty of a man to claim the rights of a man and citizen, not only for himself, but for every man who does his duty. No rights without duties, no duties without rights[407];
And in this spirit they have drawn up the following Rules of the International Association: –
1. This Association is established to afford a central medium of ,communication and cooperation between Working Men's Societies existing in different countries, and aiming at the same end, viz., the protection, advancement, and complete emancipation of the working classes.
2. The name of the Society shall be: "The International Working Men's Association".
3. The General Council shall consist of working men belonging to the different countries represented in the International Association. It shall from its own members elect the officers necessary for the transaction of business, such as a president, a treasurer, a general secretary, corresponding secretaries for the different countries, &c. The Congress appoints annually the scat of the General Council, elects a number of members, with power to add to their numbers, and appoints time and place for the meeting of the' next Congress. The delegates assemble at the appointed time and place without any special invitation. The General Council may, in case of need, change the place, but has no power to postpone the time of meeting.
4. On its annual meetings, the General Congress shall receive a public account of the transactions of the General Council. In cases of urgency, it may convoke the General Congress before the regular yearly term.
5. The General Council shall form an international agency between the different cooperating associations, so that the working men in one country be constantly informed of the movements of their class in every other country; that the inquiry into the social state of the different countries of Europe be made simultaneously, and under a common direction; that the questions of general interest mooted in one society be ventilated by all; and that, when immediate practical steps should be needed, as, for instance, in case of international quarrels, the action of the associated societies be simultaneous and uniform. Whenever it seems opportune, the General Council shall take the initiative of proposals to be laid before the different national or local societies. To facilitate the communications, the General Council shall publish periodical reports.
6. Since the success of the working men's movement in each country cannot be secured but by the power of union and combination, while, on the other hand, the usefulness of the International General Council must greatly depend on the circumstances whether it has to deal with a few national centres of working men's associations, or with a great number of small and disconnected local societies; the members of the International Association shall use their utmost efforts to combine the disconnected working men's societies of their respective countries into national bodies, represented by central national organs. It is self-understood, however, that the appliance of this rule will depend upon the peculiar laws of each country, and that, apart from legal obstacles, no independent local society shall be precluded from directly corresponding with the General Council.
7. The various branches and sections shall, at their places of abode, and as far as their influence may extend, take the initiative not only in all matters tending to the general progressive improvement of public life but also in the foundation of productive associations and other. institutions useful to the working class. The General Council shall encourage them in every, possible manner.
8. Each member of the International Association, on removing his domicile from one country to another, will receive the fraternal support of the Associated Working Men.
9. Everybody who acknowledges and defends the principles of the International Working Men's Association is eligible to become a member. Every branch is responsible for the integrity of the members it admits.
10. Every section or branch has the right to appoint its own corresponding secretary.
11. While united in a perpetual bond of fraternal cooperation, the working men's societies, joining the International Association, will preserve their existent organisations intact.
12. Everything not provided for in the present Rules will be supplied by special Regulations subject to the revision of every, Congress.
