This restaurant was recommended to me by my son. He hit a home run with my friends and me! This is a MUST go if you are in the Santa Barbara area. Reservations are a must, as this is a small restaurant. Between the 6 of us, we tried most of the menu. Every single dish was out of this... More
Julienne closes tomorrow and it was happy sad to have a last dinner there last night. It has been a very favorite for years. There is really very little reason to give a detailed review, other than to say, go one more time if you can. Make a last memory there; it is worth it. Also, so great they are... More
The chef did an amazing job of combining familiar flavors to create an unexpected result. Be sure to try the stone fruit salad, a one-of-a-kind delight that mixes cilantro, stone fruits, cherry tomatoes, and onions with a puree that's smooth, sweet, and spicy all at once. Delicious. We also enjoyed the cauliflower fritters, carrot salad, ravioli, and duck. Truly one... More
This was our second visit to the Julienne restaurant and, once again, found it to be delicious. The menu is unique. All ingredients are locally grown and fresh. This visit I had the melt-in-your-mouth ricotta ravoli with charred strawberries and my husband had the delicious local mussels in a wonderful sauce. Their foie gras appetizer was excellent. No dessert this... More
Julienne's menu is not for everyone. If you are a meat & potatoes, stick to the chains kind of person, find another restaurant. If you love food and relish the adventure of exploring new tastes, you will love Julienne. Chef West creates dishes with unusual pairings that result in flavors exploding in your mouth. Don't miss the extraordinary grilled octopus... More
My husband and I, with our two best friends, chose Julienne to celebrate our anniversary. Pleasant ambiance and decor, and interesting choice of dishes. Salads and appetizers were very good. Two of us had duck as our main course, and we both loved it! The other two had halibut, and both were quite disappointed: overcooked, much too dry, it would... More
Julienne wa recommended. However, for probably the first time ever, our group of 5 found ourselves looking at a menu that was somewhat challenging! Could we find something that excited us...sorry but no! For us, the "American/French" menus didn't work. Very unusual but I can see others havingg a similar problem....it just did not work. We made our excuses and... More
Quaint and Delicious. When looking for places to eat, for a girls weekend getaway, I went strictly off of reviews on trip advisor, as I always do, this is why I feel the need to review to help others. With that being said, this restaurant was AMAZING! Service, food and wine all get an A+ from me. Our server was... More
Do yourself a favor and make this a place to eat at in Santa Barbara. Next to The Lark this is the other top place to eat.

Mendes on the (Middle) March
Having already tackled Middlemarch himself in a 1994 BBC minisereies, Romancing the Tome's prolific patron saint Andrew Davies is writing a new screenplay of the George Eliot tome to be directed by Sam Mendes, according to BBC News. No word yet on who will be cast, but Mendes' wife, Kate Winslet will perchance make the cut. Production begins next year. -- Amy

Just wondering what everyone thought about the subject. Is silence really music? Does the definition of music define that it has to have a sound, or is it the interpretation one could take from silence music in itself?
Just wondering what everyone thought about the subject. Is silence really music? Does the definition of music define that it has to have a sound, or is it the interpretation one could take from silence music in itself?
Silence by itself is not music. Music is a type of sound, and silence is the absence of sound. Sorry fans of John Cage, 4'33 is not music...it's just a stunt.
Now, there is plenty of music where there are silences. While the silence itself is not music, it can be used to punctuate/emphasize the sound that comes before or after it.
A great master of "silence" in music is Sibelius. There are parts in his music where playing completely stops and then we hear nothing. Then music starts again. These pauses are dramatic and cause the surrounding music to stand out more markedly.
So, no, complete silence for the sake of silence is not music. (Where is the rhythm, where are the notes?) But there is plenty of silence in music that can be very musical when used in the context of actual sound.
"Music is not philosophy." --Akira Ifukube
The thing about a lot of Cage's music is that the performer has no control over what the audience hears. This is most true with 4'33 which is definitly NOT silence. No reference is made to the concept of silence in the whole of the piece and sometimes the piece can be relatively noisy!
The first thing I want to make clear is that humans will never experience true silence until they are dead. Cage went into a "silent" chamber at Harvard where no outside noise was audible. However he could hear two distinct frequencies. The first was an extremely high pitched frequency which was Cage's nervous system and the second was a low frequency which was his blood circulation.
4'33 invites the listener to make what they will of their unstructured and uncontrolable audio experiences. Plus it's good to be quiet for 4 minutes, there are too many notes in classical music!
When all the paint has been dried, when all the stone has been carved, music shall remain, and we shall work with what remains.
If you would turn on the radio station you always listen to and there was silence you wouldn't wonder whether you were listening to music but instead you would wonder why there was NO music.
If silence can be used to emphasise music, then surely without the silence the music wouldn't sound like it was originally intended, so I am still unsure whether this deems it 'music' in itself.
Music is not necessarily rhythmical, nor does it have to consist of notes as such. The sound of a tree being scraped by a piece of wood is, by definition, music, but this is not rhythmical, and consists of several tones and sound waveforms overlapping each other. You couldn't picket this sound as 'middle C' for example.
That isn't really an argument, because it is normal for radio stations to play music that isn't silence, as this is what the majority of people want to listen to. Plus, you would obviously be told if you were about to listen to a piece that consisted of silence! If I turned the radio on to Galaxy FM and heard Buddhist chanting music, I would wonder why that was on, just the same as if there was nothing on at all.
NO IT IS NOT MUSIC , How can it be?? this is not to say that it is not part of music, a well known saying "the space between the notes is just as important as the notes themselves"
Debussy was the guy who said, "music is the spaces between the notes", refering to people's differing interpretations of a single piece of music by "reading between the lines" and this is not relevent to the topic we are discussing!
If you are saying silence is a part of music, why can't silence be music? Not only are you contradicting yourself but it seems quite closed-minded to me that you are unwilling to accept any concept that may lead to experimentalism. Let's not forget, it was the experimental cavemen who started banging the rocks together to create mankind's Op.1!
When all the paint has been dried, when all the stone has been carved, music shall remain, and we shall work with what remains.
No, silence is not music in and of itself, but it is an ELEMENT of music. But silence for its own sake with no accompanying music is just, um, silence. I like the radio example. If you went to your fav classical station and turned it on and nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING was coming out of the speakers, would you really say: Wow, who is the composer? This is a cool piece! -or- would you say...where's the music...I hear NOTHING. Sorry, but listening to dead silence can be nice, but I do not consider this a TRUE musical experience. I think a tru musical experience must entail, first and foremost...music. Music with silences and pauses, yes, but let's have some sound, please.
All music is arranged to some extent by time. Even if it is the slowest grave imaginable, it has a start, and end, and a duration.
Scraping of wood in music..perhaps a guiro...again, is an element in music. If it has a context, then it works as music to me. But if just listening to your neighbor plane his warped door qualifies as music, then every sound in the world should be considered music. Even when the neighbor is coughing or dragging the trash to the curb. I, personally, feel I need to draw the line somewhere.
So, if you like listening to your walls creak and the neighbor lady getting her groove on while the dogs on your block howl at the moon...and it really is beautiful, musical sound to you, then more power to you. I'd rather listen to Bach.
"Music is not philosophy." --Akira Ifukube
Now I think you are attributing your opinion to the term music. The term music should not be biased in any way, it refers to any sound that is produced in any situation. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not music, that just means it's not music you personally would listen to. Listening to your neighbour plane his warped door is music, and every sound in the world does qualify as music!

Mountain Of Hope and Despair
... my entire vacation in the Us. While spending time with kids of relatives in Six Flags MD, I had the best of fun in trying all of the different rides, exciting equipments at the water park swimming through the artificial waves of the pool.
However, my favorite spot is still the Hunter`s Vile family fitness center and aquatic resort.
Riding around on a motorbike with my brother in-law was "AWESOME"; FUN and ...
Anaheim to LA Airport to Washinton
... to Pittsburg to refuel and wait until the Washington storm was over. Finally we were able to land in Washington at 11.30pm. So what was suppose to be a 5 hour journey was a 9 hour journey. We finally arrived at our hotel about 12.20am and then had to wait 30 minutes until they bought our suitcases up! So at about 1.00am we finally got to bed. Although this wasted a big portion of the day we were still pleased that they had put the safety of the crew & passengers ...
"This Place is Wacka-Doo"
... also a really cool double-decker log cabin room. This one was all wood-paneled, decorated with artifacts from out west, including a stuffed bear in fishing gear and a fish-tank as a headboard. From this room you could climb upstairs to a kitchen and living room. Other rooms were also themed, but sometimes it was hard to tell what that theme was because of all the extra junk sitting around. You could be looking at Chinese porcelain, antique lamps, old dusty books, and Beatles records all ...
Day 3 Washington DC - monuments
... here too with memorials and medals from WWI, WWII, Korean and Vietnam wars. We headed back along memorial drive (Heroes drive) in DC and the Lincoln memorial, where we checked out the Korean War memorial and the WWII memorial by which time it was getting dark so we got some good photos up and down the mall and the various well lit monuments. Once again we just missed the bus so we grabbed a cab and headed 15 mins down the freeway to the National Harbour to ride ...
The Big Bus Tour
... another great example. Took heaps of photos for you Skye!
Back on the Big Bus again for a trip to Arlington Cemetery where we saw John F Kennedys grave with the eternal flame burning that Jackie Kennedy Onassis lit when he died. Many other amazing monuments here too.
We then took a drive past the Pentagon, which we have no photos as they ask us not to take any. I was amazed by the number of people who quickly held their cameras up ...

Middle Ground Between Storck and Sirico?
The inspiration for this essay is recent a vivid critique of the libertarian-Catholic Acton Institute and it's front man, Fr. Robert Sirico, written by Thomas Storck, an authority on distributism. There is much in this critique that is true, and I will not necessarily be questioning its accuracy. Rather my primary task will be to show the unexplored areas of thought and raise questions as to the viability of collaboration between what appear to be, at first glance, mutually exclusive movements. There are two things that Thomas Storck argues that are unquestionably true: 1) That Fr. Sirico hasprofoundly misread John Paul II's encyclical Centesiums Annus (and "misread" is a charitable interpretation), which in no uncertain terms condemns a radical capitalist ideology, keeping with his other encyclicals such as Laborem Exercens, and in no way conflates sexual and economic libertinism, and 2) that the Papacy, historically and traditionally, has accepted a much larger role for the state in economic affairs. In other words, the Acton libertarians are fundamentally wrong on a point of Catholic social teaching, and their errors, as Storck I think rightly points out, are rooted in the assumption that if libertarian philosophical assumptions collapse, "then logically Fr. Sirico's entire enterprise will fall." What I submit here is that it is not logically necessary that libertarianism as a whole has nothing important to say to Catholics because of its deeper philosophical errors. Furthermore, a distributist-libertarian alliance is an idea that is long overdue for serious consideration. My intention is not to belittle philosophical disputes. But as something of a pragmatist myself, I have come to see that in many cases they serve to merely obstruct or obscure truths that are applicable to the social problem at hand, but which lie outside of the conflict of the contending philosophies. Additionally, not enough work is done to root out those areas of the contending philosophies that actually do overlap. Thus I submit two propositions: 1) that the philosophical dispute between libertarianism, CST, and distributism has obscured practical ways in which Catholics of different philosophical persuasions might collaborate, and 2) that the philosophical dispute itself does not need to end in the total destruction of one of the contending philosophies.

Book genres are a complicated matter because there isn't total agreement on where some books fit into certain genres. Within each genre, there can be several sub genres. Moreover, some books may fit in several genres at once — a science fiction book with lots of action may be a sci fi book, a thriller or an action novel. It is perhaps best to start with the two main categories of books, which are fiction and non-fiction.
Within non-fiction there are numerous book genres. Some non-fiction books are "how to" books that might teach a person how to cook, garden, or repair things around the home. A few other book genres that are common in the non-fiction category include travelogues, autobiographies, biographies and histories. There are also self-help books and many types that might be considered reference material, like encyclopedias. Books of personal essays, which may or may not be autobiographical, may fit into the non-fiction genre too.
Fiction book genres are numerous and some books fall into subgenres. Main fiction categories include romances, westerns, mysteries, science fiction, fantasy, thrillers, horror, and historical fiction. It can be easy to see why books might fall into different categories at the same time. Gone with the Wind is historical fiction certainly, but it's also a romance that contains some potent action scenes. However, coming up with a basic definition of each genre, as follows, can be helpful in determining where a book is most likely to fit:
The book genres above are not exclusive to long fictional novels. The novel is only one thing that may be bound and read. Poetry, plays, collections of short stories, and even books of mixed media like comic books or graphic novels each belong to their own genre but also may take on the major themes of different fiction categories.
Some people may long for the simplification of genres, as writers and teachers like Aristotle classified them in earlier times. He described two basic types of plays: comedy or tragedy. Others thrill to the various ways in which people can be inventive through book genres. The proliferation of different book categories means there is always something to read that is likely to appeal to someone.

Helpful. Is there a list anywhere with the top ten authors for each genre? |
vogueknit17 Post 20 |
I think two other genres which might be worth adding are modernism and postmodernism. Many of the modernist writers, such as T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf, wrote with voices very different from the realist ideals of their time and even of realism now, but they talked about realistic surroundings. Similarly, postmodernist writers like Samuel Beckett, Tom Stoppard and others turned even modernism on its head, with play and novel writing which had yet another different take on seemingly realistic places. |

@anon122201, I think some publishers and book sellers would classify emotional writing with either thrillers or romances, depending on the sorts of emotions. |

@anon94163, "vampire" isn't really a genre. It could be a sub genre of science fiction or fantasy, sure, but "vampire" cannot be its own stand alone genre anymore than "horse" or "taxi driver" books could be. Not everything can be a broad genre, or else the whole point of genres would fall apart. |
sherlock87 Post 17 |
These days a lot of non fiction is being written which challenges the genres for it listed here; by that I mean non fiction "novels" which, though similar to biographies or memoirs, either change names or otherwise make things more anonymous. You know the events are real, but you don't know the specifics; sort of like the opposite of historical fiction, in which you know the characters are based on fact, but the events of the book might not all be. |

The genres you picked here are interesting - a lot of bookstores group science fiction, fantasy, and horror together in one group. I'd also probably add literature of particular groups, such as African-American and lesbian and gay, as distinct genres. |

Double Trouble: Uber Takes Over the Twin Cities
Some of the best offerings of the North Star State can be found in the Twin Cities and Uber wants a piece of it! Firstly, there's the food. There's the vibrant tech community that embraces innovation and makes companies like Uber possible. There's the amazing local breweries that are quickly gaining national recognition, some of the most competitive high-school hockey in the nation, and four well-defined seasons that the West Coast barely knows exist. It's a city full of people who embrace activities. Favorites include hitting up the bars Uptown, enjoying summer on the lakes or embracing the entirely underrated music scene. It's cities like Minneapolis-St. Paul, with people on the move and living large, where Uber fits best!
Outsmart Jack Frost
As our love story with Minneapolis began (many of us from fairer climates), when we learned that one man's version of "cold" is another man's spring break. We're not sure whether it's courage, strength or fur you're hiding underneath there, but Minneapolians are fierce!
Let's be real though, there comes a point when there's nothing pleasant about the mercury dropping 15 below. The skyways offer some protection between 9-5 (albeit sometimes confusing or resembling a springroll of people), but we've got a far simpler solution that lasts through the night. Whether leaving the bar or heading to First Ave, when it's freezing cold, efficiency and reliability are serious matters…and also Uber's specialty.
Minnesota TimberWild VikingTwins..or something like that
The Twin Cities have five professional sports teams with all-star players that put other cities to shame. Vikings fever has taken the town by storm, the TWolves will be rocking the Target Center in no time, and once the NHL finishes whatever weird puberty they're going through, the Minnesota Wild will no doubt dominate.
When game day arrives, you've gotta get your priorities straight: how you're painting your face, who you're tailgating with, what jersey to wear, and how much clothing you can layer over your body. How you're getting to the stadium, who's designated driver, should you leave early to get out of the parking garage first? Total afterthought. We've already seen Uber can cut out the pre and post-game nightmares of transportation.
My D.D. Wears A Suit
Minneapolis nightlife is nothing to laugh at. After a few cold ones, the last thing anyone should be worrying about is how they are getting home. You could try hailing a taxi, or with equal success try tracking down a real life viking. The quality of taxis has room to evolve, as knowledge of the city and quality of cars can be less than pleasant. It's understandable why many elect to drive when faced with those options, but local authorities have been cracking down on DUI enforcement and we want to be sure you make it home safely.
So What Are You Waiting For?….Time To Get Your Uber On!
Uber is your safe, reliable, and enjoyable solution to transportation in the Twin Cities. How it works:
- Just pop open your Uber app and within minutes a luxury vehicle will show up and have you on your way.
- You'll receive a notification when your vehicle is arriving, minimizing the time spent in the cold and maximizing your ability to move easily.
- You step out of the car and get on your merry way (No broken credit card readers here — your card is on file for painless payment). No tip required. Your receipt is emailed to you instantly.
And this Saturday is the perfect time to flex your thumb with Uber for your Halloween festivities. Expect some scary good treats in your ride!
We're excited to set foot in the Twin Cities and evolve how you get around this charming city! We appreciate the true 'Minnesota Nice' welcome we've received and are stoked to be a part of your tight-knit community. So, whether you grew up here, came back, or just landed at the airport, @Uber_MSP has gotcha covered!

I have two pairs of Acoustst 1+1 speakers. I listen to one pair in my main system, and the other (Medallion version) is in storage as I bought them with one speaker not working.
I hope to refurbish both pairs eventually, so I am eager to hear your ideas.

A Little About Aikido...
Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed by Sensei Morihei Ueshiba (also known as O-Sensei) as a reflection of his martial studies, life philosophy and spiritual beliefs.
The word Aikido (made up of the kanji
) best translates as "the Way of the harmonious spirit." This reflects O-Sensei's goal of creating a martial art whose techniques allow a practitioner to defend him/herself, while also protecting the attacker from serious harm.
That said, Aikido is primarily a defensive system that focuses on technique and balance, not physical strength, size or power. There is no canonical punching, kicking or blocking system in Aikido.
In Aikido, there is less of an emphasis on strength training and conditioning, and more placed on speed, timing, breathing, proper technique and being "relaxed" in virtually any situation.
The Aikido practitioner's strength comes from his/her ability to maintain control and not only find a way to control the opponent, but will also be able to control the situation before drastic action is necessary. There is no winning or losing, since there is no need for contest.
Aikido is perfect for men, women, teens & children regardless of physical condition or experience. Sensei Gina, chief instructor at the Florida Aikido Center, invites anybody interested in learning more about Aikido to visit the dojo and watch any class session.

Things to see in Western District
Victoria Peak is the city's most popular attraction. At an altitude of 1,811 feet, it even towers above the city's dizzying skyscrapers, and provides breathtaking views across Hong Kong and Victoria Harbor. The best way to reach the summit is with a trip on the Peak Tram. It's been operating since 1888 and provides a unique way to see Hong Kong as it makes it way up through the narrow streets. Sheung Wan is an exciting area in Western District, full of different streets to explore and shop in. This is where you'll find Western Market, with its arts and crafts; Des Voeux Road West, with its famous dried seafood market; and Ladder Street, with its antique shops. Hollywood Road is here too, and it's where the Man Mo Temple is located. A short time walking through this peaceful temple, with the smell of incense in the air, and you'll soon forget all about the chaotic streets of Hong Kong.
Good for couples
Western District is ideal for couples traveling together. There are tons of exquisite restaurants where you can enjoy a delicious meal together; you'll find that practically every cuisine is available here.

When the sun goes down you'll find there's plenty of nightlife in Western District. Head to Lan Kwai Fong to find the best bars and nightclubs.

I am sure we will need to add groups pretty soon. Minor : It would be nice to display the permissions in the form 'rwxr-xr-w' rather than '755' in webui and 'fs -ls'.

January 2nd, 2014
A lucky Irishman has bagged himself a late Christmas present this week, after his €20 accumulator bet came in to the tune of €451,082.47 during an exciting weekend of matches in English football. The lucrative thirteen game accumulator win means the lucky punter will soon be living the 'Life of Riley'.
The anonymous winner managed to successfully predict eight wins and five draws in various tiers of the English football divisions. In the English Premier League, Manchester United managed to beat Norwich 1-0, while rivals Man City scored the same result over Crystal Palace. There were more comfortable wins for Everton, beating Southampton 2-1, and Tottenham, who demolished a poor Stoke City side 3-0. Arsenal completed the Premiership set by seeing off Newcastle 1-0, while in the Sky Bet Championship, Leicester managed to overcome Bolton during an electrifying 5-3 win. Likewise, Huddersfield also managed to put five goals away during an impressive 5-1 dismantling of Yeovil, while the last win came from Nottingham Forest, who beat a strong Leeds side 2-1 with a lucky goal.
However, it was one of the games that the punter had marked down for a draw, Sunderland v Cardiff, which must have proved the most nail biting. The Welsh team went into the game flustered after the backroom drama between sacked manager Malky Mackay and owner Vincent Tan, yet it did not seem to affect play on the pitch. Cardiff were leading the Black Cats 2-0 until the 83rd minute, until Scotland's Steven Fletcher managed to slip one by David Marshall. It was well into the fifth and final minute of injury time, when a deflected goal by midfielder Jack Colback brought Sunderland level at 2-2. His equaliser, twelve seconds before the referee blew the final whistle, managed to save bottom of the league Sunderland some dignity, while also securing the Irishman's fortunes. His other draws were Aston Villa v Swansea and Bournemouth v Ipswich, both with one goal apiece, as well as goalless draws in Doncaster v Millwall and Watford v QPR.

How Many Miles to 1,000?
Before we begin subtraction, I like to pose this question:
Suppose you are taking a trip. Your destination is 1,000 miles away. You're starting to get VERY bored in the car, so you decide to figure out how much farther you have to go. You ask your dad how far you've already gone, and he says you've just reached mile 632. How do you figure out how many miles are left of your trip?
The kids then use whatever strategy they wish to solve the problem. Just as with our addition lesson, the kids show their different strategies. There are always many different ones! These are just a few we saw in our room. The most interesting thing is that even though this is technically a subtraction problem because we need to find the difference, most the kids turned the problem into an addition problem. They are so much more comfortable with addition! Most didn't even realize they had done this until we pointed it out in class.
This activity will lead us into examining our different subtraction strategies tomorrow.

Starter Problems for Flexibility with Numbers
Wednesday we discussed ways to "start" addition problems. We began by just focusing on the largest place because the kids agreed that was the easiest to add first. Then we looked at what was left. One of the kids suggested we move parts of the numbers from one number to the other. I, of course, questioned this idea. I find that my best lessons happen when I act like I have no idea what they're talking about! When I start questioning their thoughts, some kids will second-guess themselves. But this little guy held firm and insisted it would work. I was so proud of him! I made him prove it to me on the board, which he did, and the other kids felt comfortable backing him up after they'd seen proof. ;) We did several examples of this, then moved to doing this with money. The kids haven't had much exposure to adding decimals of much size, so this way of thinking was very helpful for them!
For me, the most important outcome of this lesson (and I mention it A LOT during the lesson) is that the children learn to think flexibly with their numbers. This is why I love math! In no other subject can you change up what you're given to make the outcome easier to figure out! The sooner we learn to think this way, the easier harder operations will become!!

Changing Places Center
In the game Changing Places, students are to pick a 3-digit number. They then draw five cards. The cards all have an operation and number on them. For example, they may say +300, -40, +200, etc. From their five cards, they choose three to use in an equation. They begin with their starting number, then carry out the operations in their equation. The new total is their next beginning number. They repeat the process.

(Do you see that photo? It's our site! It's the internet in my pocket!!) (This photo does not do the loveliness of this little beauty justice, by the way.)
So I needed a case for it. While it was charging, I knit something up for fulling/felting. Essentially, you knit with wool very loosely, then run it through the washing machine with hot water and it turns to felt. Amazing!
Unfortunately, the Art of Making Felt can be a rather inexact science, so my first one was a little bit short:
Unfelted, my original was 3.5 inches x 5.25 inches. I think it's a little too wide, so my next try was 3.25 inches x 5.75 inches, pre-felting. Here it is, with the original one I made, for scale:
I'm going down to throw it in the washing machine right now... I'll let you know how it turns out!

Hi Few,
yes i mean that different tension is applied for width and length. The only way to avoid the impact of tension on the longer side is to tension a mylar sheet which is 3 times longer than the height of the ESL itself. But this is very uneconomical. I think nobody would prefer this, so you need tension on both directions. It is nearby impossible to predict the time based creeping of the molecules, so i had to go the long trial and error way. My personal experience tells that the final behaviour, especially at fundamental resonance, is very dependent from the tensioning ratio of a specific ESL-geometrie. e.g. if the tensioning procedure is at its optimized level, fundamental resonance show Q-factor lower than 1,5 and even the suckout in the upper bass range is less significant.

Hi Capaciti,
How can an inexperienced DIYer apply the dual tension approach? A bicycle tyre stretcher, for example, would automatically tension equally in all directions.

It was a really big bike No serious, I simply cut two inner tubes open with a knife and glued them together to one long tube with rubberglue. You know, the one you use to repair your inner tube in case of a hole. It worked fine. I just had to find a trick to do the glue job well. I put one rubber tube end in the other and layed over the above. Then I put glue on the inner and outer and let dry the glue. Then I rolled back the outer one over the glued inner and pressed it together like you do when you repair a tire. I build 4 panels (hybrids) for my home theater. Before I used a mechanical stretching table. With the pneumatic table you can easily get a very even tension on the membrane. You just have to be carefull not to go to far, because it can create a massive tension force (and you don't want your mylar to tear) I also learned to lay the mylar very loose and with a lot of wrinkles on the table and let the tube and air do de job. The first time, I tried to get the membrane already a bit tensioned and without wrinkles on the table. That wasn't a good idea, because once I started pumping , there was no room anymore for the membrane to search it best position and in some corners the tension got directly to high, while in the other, there were still wrinkles. So if you start with a very loose membrane, it finds very easily its way to divide the tension very evenly. A tube can expand very much. On some places, the tube gets in a real big bubble, but that is OK. The air divides that way a really even tension on the membrane. Geert |

Hi Geert,
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I thought Capaciti specified different tensions for length and width, whereas the bicycle tyre approach gives one uniform tension in all dimensions? So could someone please show me a practical way to get different tensions in different dimensions? Thanks.

Did you find a predictable relation between geometry / film properties and the tension ratio? Like a rule of thumb where to start? |

Hi wolf-moses
It concains to 2 rails, one one a long side and one a short side. Each rail contains short blocks in MDF that can slide sideways. All the blocks are linked together with a rubber band. Each rail can be pulled to stretch with a number of threated wires (one turn is a displacement of 1 mm). I put double sided tape on the rubberstrip and use this to fix the membrane. The rubber strips on de rails can get longer while beeing pulled aside when the other rail is displaced. The complete jig was made from one panel of MDF 18 mm (+ rubber strips of 6 mm thickness). After prestretching the film to remove the (few) wrinkles I have by fixing the membrane, I measure the distance between the double sided tape and calculate how many turns I must apply to get a preset elongation. This jig permits to use a different ratio in lenght and width, and works quite well. For the moment I have used it a number of times with a film called WINWRAP of 9 micron. It was ment as a test to check the consistancy of the rest of my frames. It has been playing rather well for six months, and has stabilised quit well. I hope soon to put the real Mylar to use. I'll try to find some photo's we must have made once while tensioning. Edwin

Hi Folks,
sorry, up to now i did not find a way to predict the rigth tensioning depending on the panel geometrie, but you need to go the trail and error way. It took me years to find the right one for my current serie which is 20cm in width and 137cm in height for the mebrane area. Even there is different tensioning along the height in order to accomodate for the different mass load of air (more on the bottom less towards the top of the speaker. By optimizing the excisting panel i have been able to improve maxoutput by about 3dB, having identical frequency response. At the very beginning of development the membrane touches the stators at specific locations first, when reaching maxexcursion, while other sections showed reserve. Now the whole membrane area reaches its limits very consistent. Capaciti |

Migrating from QuickBooks
Howdy All,
John Rogelstad posted in another topic about the Most Wanted features of the API. In passing he mentioned demand to migrate data from QuickBooks. Since that will most likely be a very popular topic, I decided to start it here.
Migrating from QuickBooks would be an excellent value-add for resellers. A while back I looked into what it'd take to do such a thing (data export from QB). At that point, the only way to get the data was to purchase a third-party "adapter" that provided an ODBC connection to the QuickBooks database. The information you got depended on how much you wanted to pay; if I remember correctly, $99 got you the vendors and customers, a bit more also got you the inventory, and even more got you vendors, customers, inventory, and invoice/PO/Quotes. Perhaps today QB is more lenient about what they'll let you export for free, but I'm not sure.
Another pertinent question: If a company migrates between accounting applications mid-year, what do they want to migrate? It might be tricky to attempt to import all PO's, checks, invoices, etc. and have the books balance at the end. Instead, a company could migrate everything else, close one month out, and then start the new month on the new package.
Thoughts? --J
We're currently using quickbooks pro 2006. We tried to hack together our own erp with qodbc. It is painfully slow at times, however, for $99 and unlimited reads, is absolutely worthy for use of extracting data from QuickBooks. Even though this is possible, when we switch to our next implementation, we'll start from scratch.
fwiw: we're using qodbc driver with scripts to download customer information from our website and also create a text summary of credit card charges for import to our credit card software. I do not recommend qb or qodbc for companies with over 3000 customers or 10 invoices per day.
I may be covering old ground here, but has anyone tried reading the QB database using any of the Sybase ODBC drivers? Intuit embedded Sybase into Quickbooks starting with QB 2006.
Quickbooks integration is definately a hot topic. We're getting queries almost daily asking where the tool is to import from Quickbooks.
While there's some work to do to make getting the data in PostBooks easier (see API "Most Wanted" List) actually defining an open source mechanism to connect directly to QuickBooks may be the bigger challenge. We'll need to find a coder out there willing to take on that challenge. There are several proprietary products that have pulled it off:
Any open source ODBC experts out there who want to take a look?
I see that Intuit will let you download a QuickBooks developer SDK at no charge when you register with their site. I haven't taken a good look at it as I don't have any Windows boxes around that don't belong to my employer - but this might be easier than using ODBC, if we can simply use the SDK to pull the data out and directly insert it into PostBooks...
I wonder if any part of their license agreement prohibits such use of the SDK.
We are presently using SQL-Ledger. I don't believe we are alone in wanting to move away from this
package. However, the problem of importing all our data into a new package is non trivial. At the
very least we would want to import
1) the customer list
2) the vendor list
3) the parts list + BOMs
4) the accounts list
Of course there maybe some translation required but Postbooks must keep most if not all the
same data in some form. With these four imports, we could at least start the new financial year
with your package.
If we could import the sales and purchase orders etc that would really be cool. Then we could convert
at any time.
We actually use the QuickBooks SDK and have found it fairly capable...although not very open. The datastore isn't really what most of us would think of as a database, it's proprietary and not ODBC friendly. We currently use the SDK to synchronize items and customers between QuickBooks and a MySQL database. The SDK is definitely tilted toward Windows development and we actually use VBScript with it in order to make it easy/quick to adapt.
It's been awhile since we wrote these integrations, but I'd be happy to be involved.
- Scott
We currently support the importing of customers and sales orders. All that would need to happen there is to define a routine for exporting the data from SQL-Ledger into a CSV format, then creating what we can an "atlas" which is a GUI defined map in our CSV Import tool. Have you taken a look at that?
As to the other data points, we are actively seeking parties who would be interested in sponsoring or contributing code to expand the current API functionality.
I will be working on a comprehensive white paper for the API this week.
Using the QB SDK is the "right" way to do it, but perhaps an easy way is to have the user export the database from QB and then import into PB. The import will require parsing the .iif files (for exports of more recent QB versions) and .qif (for older versions).
.iif files are described here: http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/ar ... iles2.html
The Quickbooks IIF Import Kit provides additional documentation of the .iif format: http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/su ... d=bde7b06f
Here's documentation on the headers of the .iif files: http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/su ... 7+10:37:17
The following describes the information that can be imported using .iif :
http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/su ... 06_2_3_Fam
Of note, the foregoing link says
"The following cannot be imported or exported:

Transactions from an existing QuickBooks company data file. However, you can create a report based on transactions and print the report to a file that can be read by a spreadsheet, database, or word processor program.

QuickBooks timesheets, except through the Timer. (Time functions are not available in QuickBooks Standard and Basic versions.)

Payroll items cannot be exported from QuickBooks."
This article recommends saving payroll items by generating a report that's saved to a delimited format: http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/su ... 07+8:49:59
.qif files are no longer supported by Intuit, but older versions of QB use it. The format is documented here: http://web.intuit.com/support/quicken/2 ... /1178.html and here: http://web.intuit.com/support/quicken/docs/d_qif.html
Intuit abandoned the format in favor of OFX in 2005: http://web.intuit.com/personal/quicken/qif/
Intuit will eventually drop the .iif format because the data format has been opened. http://developer.intuit.com/Support/FAQs/?id=144
For an overview of the SDK, see the Technical Overview document: http://developer.intuit.com/qbSDK-curre ... erview.pdf
The Intuit Developers Network has available a great deal of additional information about moving information into and out of QB. http://developer.intuit.com/membership/?id=433
Cool, thanks for those tips man.

It seems to me that the way to go here would be using Talend by creating a Talend Connector to talk with Postbooks. Talend is an Open Source Master Data Management software that is able to integrate and exchange data from multiple systems and uses Postgresql as it's central datastore. There seems to be a Talend Connector that talks to Quickbooks already.
The obvious advantages of this would be that it opens up Postbooks to other ERP / CRM (or any data source) and so that once a connector is created for Postbooks it can be used to exchange data from/to multiple systems.
I have only ever had a bit of a play with Talend and never used it to complete a project so I am open to any thoughts on the matter.
Has anybody tried using the ETL tool Talend and the tQuickbooksAdvanced component.
The component is a community contrib here http://www.talendforge.org/exchange/tos/extension_view.php?eid=47
Curious to hear some feedback. Come to think of it...a xTuple component would be great and simultaneously give xTuple a fair amount of exposure.
Additionally I attached the Quickbooks 2008 schema for postgres in case it is of value to anybody.

Cat face
The animation was high quality, as to be expected, voice acting was good, and the music was excellent. However, I just didn't find anything funny in this. It's not like I'm forcing myself not to laugh, but at the same time, and not trying to laugh at everything either.
There weren't any actual jokes - just quirky accents and situations. Now obviously this is enough to make many people laugh and vote 10. But for the few who require something a bit more substantial to raise anything more than a slight giggle - there really isn't anything to be found here. I do like it how there are subtle elements in the flash that can require multiple viewings to see, and I think the character design is superb. But...well I don't have anything left to say. I guess I'm just trying to justify why I'm giving you a rating below 10 so fans don't instantly flag this as useless.
I can see the humor, I just don't think it's funny... Swing and a miss. Overall good job nevertheless.

Agility | 17 + 1.40 | |
Intelligence | 22 + 2.60 |
"Although she is an intelligence hero, Windrunner's gameplay style resembles that of an agility hero in many ways. Most of the time she relies on her physical attack. Her archery skills are powerful to start with but also enjoys a steadily increasing rate of fire. Deadly Power Shots not only pierce the nearest target with massive damage, but continue on to damage any units in the line of fire. Due to its exceedingly long range, Power Shot is also excellent for picking off injured heroes as they flee. To stop enemies from fleeing in the first place, Windrunner has Shackleshot--one of the best single-target stuns in the game. Shackleshot allows Windrunner to shackle a target either to a tree or to another enemy unit, potentially stunning two heroes. Her third skill, Windrun, allows her to escape dangerous situations, position herself for good Shackleshots, and catch up to fleeing enemies. If Powershot isn't enough to take down a target, she can use Focus Fire. This powerful ability makes her attack a single enemy at the fastest possible rate; while it reduces her total damage, it has a long duration. Focus Fire is also highly effective against buildings and other stationary targets--and woe to the enemy hero who is first hit by Shackleshot, since they are now essentially a stationary target themselves."
Roles: Disabler - Nuker - Support - Escape
EditWindrunner Strategies
Windrunner Item Suggestions
Early Game: Ironwood Branches, Ring of Basilius, Null Talisman
Late Game: Force Staff, Scythe of Vyse
The Windrunner is a fantastic utility hero. She brings one of the best non-ultimate disables in the game with Shackleshot, a fantastic laning presence, and the flexibility to lane almost anywhere. We take a look at how her skills work and some basic items builds in the video below.
The western forests guard their secrets well. One of these is Lyralei, master archer of the wood, and favored godchild of the wind. Known now as Windrunner, Lyralei's family was killed in a storm on the night of her birth—-their house blown down by the gale, contents scattered to the winds. Only the newborn survived among the debris field of death and destruction. In the quiet after the storm, the wind itself took notice of the lucky infant crying in the grass. The wind pitied the child and so lifted her into the sky and deposited her on a doorstep in a neighboring village. In the years that followed, the wind returned occasionally to the child's life, watching from a distance while she honed her skills. Now, after many years of training, Windrunner fires her arrows true to their targets. She moves with blinding speed, as if hastened by a wind ever at her back. With a flurry of arrows, she slaughters her enemies, having become, nearly, a force of nature herself.
Shackleshot | Hotkey: | Q | | |
Ability: | Target Unit | Shackle Duration: | 1.50/2.25/3.00/3.75 | |
Affects: | Enemy Units | Range: | 800 | |
| Cooldown: | 12 | Mana: | 90/100/110/120 |
Shackles the target to an enemy unit or tree in a line directly behind it. If no unit or tree is present, the stun duration is reduced to 0.75.
Windrunner's variety of bow skills includes an arrow with thick ropes attached to encumber any escaping target.
Powershot | Hotkey: | W | | |
Ability: | Channeled, Target Point | Damage: | 120/200/280/360 | |
Affects: | Enemy Units | Range: | 1825 | |
Damage Type: | Magical | | ||
| Cooldown: | 9 | Mana: | 90/100/110/120 |
Windrunner charges her bow for up to 1 second for a single powerful shot. The arrow deals damage to enemy units and destroys trees in its path. Damage is greatest on first target, and reduces by 10% for each target it pierces thereafter. If the channeling is cancelled early, the shot will still occur but deal less damage.
During her early years of training, Lyralei learned to fire powerful arrows that cleaved even trees to reach their targets on the other side.
Windrun | Hotkey: | E | | |
Ability: | No Target | Move Speed Bonus: | 50% | |
Affects: | Self | Enemy Slow: | 8%/16%/24%/30% | |
Damage Type: | N/A | Duration: | 2.75/3.50/4.25/5.00 | |
| Cooldown: | 15 | Mana: | 100 |
Increases movement speed and adds evasion from all physical attacks, while slowing movement of nearby enemies.
True to her namesake, Lyralei enchants gusts of winds to flight incoming attacks.
Focus Fire | Hotkey: | R | | |
Ability: | Target Unit | Damage Reduction: | 50%/40%/30% | |
Affects: | Enemy Units, Buildings | Duration: | 20 | |
Aghanim's Scepter Upgradable | Cooldown: | 60 (15) | Mana: | 200/300/400 |
Windrunner channels the wind, gaining maximum attack speed on the enemy unit or structure, although with reduced damage, including damage from Unique Attack Modifiers and item effects. Once Windrunner switches targets, the speed is lost. Lasts 20 seconds. Upgradable with Aghanim's Scepter.
Lyralei's ability to bombard opponents with a flurry of arrows is unparalleled - even at the expense of accuracy.

Muiscal Paradise MP-301 6V6 amp.
I just bought an awesome little 6V6 SE amp from a Canadian company called Musical Paradise, its called an MP301 and it only costs $200!! Dead quiet and ballsy, I was shocked! Point being, this amp is their bottom-of-the-range, and their $800 top model uses these GuiGuang 300B's. They sell them separately...for $100 a matched pair, brand new! Maybe someone bought them from there, didn't like them, and flipped them on e-Pay to you? If Musical Paradise sells them, then I assume that they are bottom-feeder grade bottles just like the rest of what they use to keep their amazing prices so...well, amazing! Years ago I auditioned several types of 300B as a driver stage in the top-of-the-range $20k Cary 845 PP amps, and the Shuguang's were just horrible, even worse sounding than the JJ's or Sovteks...which in turn were absolutely DISGUSTING compared to the Cetron (US Made) and Western Electric re-issues. Only with the latter 2 types did this amp sing, all the post-communist stuff made the amp sound like something from Sonic Frontiers! If you really want great sonic results from a Chinese triode, I'd go for the original carbon-anode Shuguang 845's. Apparently, the factory has just ceased production, so get them whilst you still can! It figures that they'd discontinue the only half-decent sounding valve they made...

I did get my MP-301 amp on Friday. Spent all day listening to it yesterday. It's very nice!
Running Altec 288 -16ohm drivers on Altec 1005 horns from ~650Hz up. Does a great job. The amp is very small and cute. Smells like fresh paint. No noise from the amp at all. No hiss or tube rush. Not sure if any 60Hz or near harmonics would be audible on the horns, but I don't hear any. That's a solid email@example.com, so any noise should be obvious. Chinese tubes, of course. I will tube roll a bit. 6V6 and 6AU6 are easy to find. Although the OPT cases are marked with a diagram that shows an 8 and a 4 ohm tap, the amp has only ground and hot speaker terminals. Don't know which tap was used. The 6V6 tubes should not be heavily loaded considering the 16 ohm drivers I use. How does it sound? Darn good. Much as other folks have stated, it's lush, maybe little too lush - and nicely dynamic. Very good tone and ambient detail. A pleasure to listen to. No idea how it does in the bass, as I don't use it there. But it does tend to make the bass sound richer, probably because of the way it handles harmonics. I should make some measurements of FR and harmonic content, plus look around inside, but right now I'm just having too much fun listening to it. For $200, it is a great deal.

Muiscal Paradise MP-301 6V6 amp.
No, a friend of mine has one. He's an audio designer and started his own audio company not long ago. He's also a collector of vintage amps and has great audio gear in his house. The amp sounds great. He did the mod because there was an excess gain and waveform distortion on the 6J1 stage before the 6V6 stage clips. Remove the cap and both problems disappear.
Hope he doesn't mind me posting this, maybe these posts will raise the amp's price. Hope not, haven't got one yet. |

Doing a little virtual shopping, I "think" that one could build the same or better for about the same money using Edcor iron. The chassis may be the deal breaker. Certainly if you have junk box parts to throw at it, it can be less than $200. I may try to do so and compare the two. |

It must sound a lot better than it looks.. The layout looks terrible IMHO, but it is pretty inexpensive. (The OPTS appear to be very far away from the output tubes, undoubtedly in an effort to keep the power transformer as far away from them as possible.)
The EL-156 amplifier looks very interesting and comparatively not badly designed. Aesthetically it is quite good for the money, some level of aesthetics is necessary in any commercial design IMO and the lack of symmetry in the MP301 is disturbing to this fan of Palladio.

Gift expert Simone McDowell of HoneeBee Gifts has come up with a brilliant and fun idea that she hopes will take the shame out of regifting.
She's hosting an event called Flip Your Gift on Jan. 5 at The Ashton, 125 W. Tremont Ave. Guests can bring what she calls a "not-so-perfect-for-you" holiday gift and exchange it for something that suits them better (no gag gifts allowed).
To attend, you must RSVP at www.facebook.com/events/529044660453708.
It begins at 11 a.m. when guests will start registering their gifts (all gifts must be registered by 11:45 a.m.) From noon to 1 p.m., there's a gift exchange followed by a chance to mingle and network. Mimosas, wine, light hors d'oeuvres and desserts from Hey Sugar Shop will be served.
