Did You Bet On An On-time NYS Budget?
This might just be your year! But don't put all your chips on the April 1st deadline just yet.
Sure, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that lawmakers a reached a $132.5 billion dollar budget framework yesterday. But today's when all when legislators start hashing out the nitty-gritty details of the budget bills and there are plenty of people who'd like to see some changes to the budget in its final form.
Take New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who issued a statement yesterday calling the plan, "the largest cut in state aid to New York City ever." In its current form, the budget deal cuts total state spending spending by $10 billion, and does not raise any new taxes.
The city was seeking $600 million in funding from the state. Bloomberg had asked the state to reduce pension costs and relax other mandates. Right now the city says the current deal provides only $200 million of the funding (leaving a $400 million dollar hole).
At a press event on taxi fuel standards, Bloomberg told reporters that he did not know all the details of the budget, "but I know enough to be concerned. What I know is that less of our taxpayers' money is going to be coming back to the city."
The Mayor went on to call the city, "the jewel in the state's financial crown."
"We're the one that's generating the money," said Bloomberg, "and if we don't keep making investments and improving the quality of this city, then we aren't gonna provide the money that the rest of the state depends on."
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver praised state lawmakers' efforts in the face of dire economic times.
"I think given the economic circumstances that have taken place in this state, we've done the best we can, we've made restorations to various programs in the city as well as the state. Hopefully as time passes and this economy recovers, we'll be able to do better.
State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli said the budget deal looks promising and applauded the potential for a budget that was balanced and on time (only the third time that's happened in more than 25 years).
But DiNapoli said there are some "vulnerabilities" in the framework agreement, including reliance on uncollected taxes on cigarettes sold on Indian lands to balance part of the budget, and a plan to shrink the state prison system by 3,700 beds without naming the actual prisons.
"We need to see the details, we need to see the specifics. And then we need to monitor," said DiNapoli.
A spokesman from Cuomo's office issued a statement defending the deal saying it includes, "shared sacrifice from communities across the state."
The statement also charged that the city's Department of Education budget has a $300 million dollar surplus.

Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts is on track to obliterate every single NFL quarterback record there is … but that still hasn't resolved the debate over whether or not he is the best quarterback in the league.
First, the numbers.
Manning became the first quarterback in NFL history to pass for 40,000 yards in a decade on Sunday, a game that also saw him tie former Minnesota great Fran Tarkenton for fourth place on the all-time wins list with 125.
Additionally, Manning needs just three touchdown passes to become the first quarterback in league history to throw for 300 touchdowns in a decade.
Amazing, huh? And you don't even have to be a pseudo-homoerotic Manning man-crusher (like our founding editor, or for that matter Titans coach Jeff Fisher) to appreciate that.
Of course, as our bud "Nate-dog" out in the Great Northwest frequently reminds us, Manning trails New England Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady 3-to-1 in the only statistic that really matters: Super Bowls.
In fact, prior to the last few years, Brady (a.k.a. "Poopie") and the Patsies have owned Manning's Colts – particularly in the playoffs.
Plus, to add insult to injury, Brady broke Manning's single-season record for touchdown passes two years ago.
Why bring all this up now?
Well, this Sunday night on NBC, Brady and Manning face off against each other for the eleventh time – with Brady owning a 7-3 advantage in the superstar series. Of course, Manning has flipped the script in recent years, taking three of their last four meetings.
Both teams are playing extremely well, as usual, with the Patriots record standing at 6-2 and the Colts' 8-0 mark one of only two undefeated records in the league.
To read more about the match-up, check out these links from the Boston Herald, Boston Globe and Indy Star (nice graph included).
Oh, and GO COLTS!!!!!

With 14 West Nile virus deaths in Texas, Dallas Mayor declared the city is facing an emergency as the disease spreads.
DALLAS, Texas - Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said the city is facing a West Nile virus emergency, CNN reports .
WNV has killed at least 14 people in Texas and 26 nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevenetion. The Dallas delcaration clears the way for aerial spraying to kill the infected mosquitos, according to CNN.
The U.S. is experiencing its biggest spike in WNV activity since 2004, with 241 cases of the disease reported across the United States. Of the 42 states that have reported infections in people, birds or mosquitoes, 80 percent have been in Texas, CNN reported.
"It is not clear why we are seeing more activity than in recent years," said Marc Fischer, a CDC medical epidemiologist. "Regardless of the reasons for the increase, people should be aware of the West Nile virus activity in their area and take action to protect themselves and their family."

It was is a fiverglass canoe about 15-20 feet long. Winnona I believe was brand name.. I re-fiberglass patched the damaged areas.. way back when.. and I used it a lot. I think I have gotten my moneys worht out of it, but it has sat around.. in the last few years.. (dam city living) we'll I decided to fix her up again, and get back to using it.. I've got a little electric trolling motor and a deep cycle battery so it will help me grab some trout.. The aluminum cross struts finally corroded away and broke so I replaced them with some round wood...cross braces and glued screwed them together. I fiberglassed over the wood.. that make it very strong, the wood adds a bit of extra weight but being a fibeglass boat it is still a relatively easy one man carry. I plan on building removable boom to it so, I can use with my dogs with out tipping it over. I'm think about a home built boom, maybe out of 5 inch PVC pipe and end caps glued on..filled with expanding foam, I know cabela's has them for a couple hundred but building one might be more fun..

Phil Anderson's yellow jersey, 1981
As the sixth stage of the 2006 Tour de France was completed overnight, it's an apt time to recall former Melbourne cyclist Phil Anderson's achievement after the sixth stage in 1981, when he became the first non-European to don the yellow jersey. Anderson took the race lead after the 117-kilometre stage through the Pyrenees. His position on the podium forced a revision of the assumption that Le Tour belonged to the Europeans. French television reporters held up an Australian map on which Anderson was asked to point to Melbourne. As the extent of many French people's knowledge of Australia was limited to the television show Skippy, he was nicknamed after the eponymous kangaroo. Anderson lost the yellow jersey after one day, but by then his life had changed. His confidence soared and he became a world-renowned rider, finishing in the top 10 in the Tour de France five times. By the time he had retired in 1994, he had started in 13 tours and completed them all.
Anderson recently was reminded of the 25th anniversary of his yellow-jersey breakthrough when American television company Outdoor Life Network contacted him about putting together a profile. Anderson told The Age from his Point South property near Apollo Bay, where his holiday cottages command a view of the ocean, that in 1981 he was unprepared for the commotion that enveloped him after earning the yellow jersey. "All of a sudden I wasn't a Hawthorn club rider; I was on the world stage," he said.
Anderson joined the Hawthorn Amateur Cycling Club after watching cyclists race along Yarra Boulevard, in Studley Park, Kew, and asking a race official how he could take up the sport. At the time, he was a 16-year-old student at Trinity Grammar. In coming years, he would divide his time between working at Borsari Cycles in Lygon Street and training like a demon. In January 1981, at 22, Anderson flew out from Melbourne to join the Peugeot cycling team in Europe. Until then, his only knowledge of professional cycling was limited to reading My World on Wheels, the autobiography of champion 1950s Australian cyclist Russell Mockridge. "I left for the unknown," he said.
In Europe, Anderson's Peugeot teammates thought he was disruptive because he was unable to speak French. During the 1981 Tour de France, Anderson became widely recognised as disruptive when, in the fashion of many Australian sportsmen before and since, he dared to challenge protocol. The favourite for the tour was dual winner Bernard Hinault, a fiery Frenchman known as "the Badger". When Anderson sat on the wheel of Hinault through the Pyrenees, the Frenchman became incensed. When Anderson offered the Frenchman a swig from his drink bottle, Hinault, believing the gesture was an insult, swiped the bottle to the ground. Anderson hung on to cross the line equal second with Hinault, 27 seconds behind the stage winner, Lucien van Impe of Belgium. The result was enough for Anderson to take the race lead by 17 seconds.
While Hinault regarded the Australian with a measure of contempt, the rest of France was excited about Anderson's background and his willingness to take on the Badger. In Australia, the reaction was more subdued. The Age deemed his achievement worthy only of a run on an inside sports page.
"It's like a 19-year-old cricketer from Rome taking 10 wickets at Lord's."
- Andrew Rule quoting Melbourne cycling coach Ted Sanders on Anderson's achievement, The Age, Thursday, July 2, 1981
In the same edition, it was reported that VFL directors had decided to reprimand first-year Essendon coach Kevin Sheedy for his outburst against the VFL director of umpires, Harry Beitzel. Sheedy claimed the umpires had been "out to get" Bomber defender Ron Andrews.
Michelle Grattan reported from Washington that US president Ronald Reagan and prime minister Malcolm Fraser had swapped gifts during a banquet in the White House State rooms.
Fraser received a fishing rod with a presidential seal, as well as books on trout fishing, while Reagan got a saddle and a sheepskin coat.
Anderson was again tenacious during the seventh stage, a 27-kilometre time trial. "I finished third, which was a miracle," he said. "It was just the adrenaline and excitement of having the yellow jersey." Hinault took the yellow jersey and Anderson trailed by 13 seconds. The Australian was still in second place after 16 stages, only to drop back through the field in the Alps and eventually finish 10th; it was the best performance by an Australian in the event. The next year, in 1982, Anderson stunned the cycling world when he wore the yellow jersey for 10 days and finished fifth. In that year, and again in 1991, he won individual stages. Throughout his career, Anderson had a reputation for aggression and tenacity. "If you want to get ahead, you've got to buck the system," he said. "If I didn't do that, I would have been an also-ran."
Anderson's greatest legacy was paving the way for non-Europeans, especially Australians, to assert themselves in the Tour de France. Every year, when he returns to France to guide cycling enthusiasts on a tour of Le Tour, he notes certain changes with satisfaction. Rather than there being an unwritten rule that all cyclists should speak French, teams now speak English and French, and commentators give results in both languages.
Rather than the entire field hailing from western Europe, cyclists now come from as far afield as Uzbekistan and Colombia. Anderson's heart swells when he meets present Australia riders who tell him they had his poster on their walls as teenagers. "It gives me a real buzz," he said.

If so, I suggest you contact the creator of the application for a work around. Alternately, wait for the patch to be released by Oracle. See Google News about Java problems running in a browser and when they expect a fix.

Words That Tell Us About God and the Church
Divine: That is, God. For example, to say Jesus is divine or to speak of His divinity is to say that He is God.
Doctrine: The beliefs that the Bible teaches and we should believe. These are truths about God, the world in which we live, and ourselves. These are the basic facts of life we can live by and die with.
Election: The word means "to choose." We became Christians because God took the initiative to save us, not because we took the initiative to seek God. Election is His eternal plan to save sinners.

Holocaust victims' 'Violins of Hope' to resound in Berlin Philharmonic
By Alexandra Hudson
BERLIN (Reuters) - A violin thrown some seventy years ago from a train transporting French Jews to the Nazi Auschwitz death camp will sound in the concert hall of the Berlin Philharmonic on Tuesday night, along with other instruments once played by victims of the Holocaust.
A French railwayman caught that unknown passenger's violin and gave it to his daughter to play.
Years later it found its way into the hands of Israeli violin-maker and restorer Amnon Weinstein, whose extraordinary collection comprises violins embodying their former owners' tragic histories and stories of survival.
Tuesday marks 70 years since the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet troops. Around 1.5 million people, mainly European Jews, were gassed, shot, hanged and burned at the camp in southern Poland during World War Two.
German President Joachim Gauck said in a speech on Tuesday that remembering the horrors of the Nazis must remain a key part of Germany's sense of self.
"Without Auschwitz, there is no German identity," he told parliament.
Tuesday's concert will also feature one of Weinstein's violins that had belonged to a member of Auschwitz's prisoner orchestra.

On No Child Left Behind law
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was not in office when Congress passed an education bill in 2001 that requires states to annually test students, known as the No Child Left Behind law. He has said it is a well-intentioned attempt to erase long-standing achievement gaps between white and minority students, but he believes the Bush administration ruined it through inflexible application. Obama wants more money for schools and to move away from traditional testing to judge schools.
On making college affordable
Obama has been pushing for an increase in the federal Pell grant awards that students can get to pay for college. That increase was part of a wide-ranging college funding bill that the Senate passed in September 2007. Obama was a co-sponsor of legislation that President Bush signed in September 2007 lowering fees and cutting interest rates for student loans by half, to 3.4%, and increasing Pell grant awards from $4,310 in 2007 to $5,400 by 2012. But Obama missed the vote on final passage.
Other education priorities
Obama says he wants to improve teacher quality and increase pay, especially for those teachers who also mentor students or boost achievement. Obama has said, however, that improvements in achievement shouldn't be based "on some arbitrary test score."

Home > Masters of Horror Reviews Part 1
Masters of Horror is an anthology series of films by some of the best horror film-makers working today. Each short-film was around an hour long and most were based on a short story. The series was helmed by Mick Garris and ran for two seasons on Showtime. What would have been the third season became Fear Itself, which aired on NBC.
Though each episode of MoH had different writers most still suffered from the occasional stilted dialogue. And even though the episodes were directed by the best horror filmmakers, it's better to think of these as extended television episodes than films. None are up to the calibre you'd expect from a full-length film, but they're still better than some horror movies shown in cinemas for ludicrous ticket prices. As with any collection, there were hits and misses.
Over the next several weeks I'll review a few episodes of the series each Thursday. If you agree or disagree with my review, let me know in the comments.
Series One
Incident On and Off a Mountain Road (Don Coscarelli): Fetching young woman gets stranded in the dark on a mountain road. Mutant serial killer wants to 'make friends'. Survivor Girl has a leg up, as she's been married to a survivalist, who's been training her in the ways of crazy, I mean, how to fight for survival in desperate circumstances. And being stalked in the dark by a freak who wants to make you into a Blair Witch scarecrow that uses the moonlight as eye-beams (it's quite disturbing) is about as desperate a situation as you could ask for. Most of the gore/torture is out of shot. A nice introduction to the anthology. Based on a short story by Joe R Lansdale. 8/10
H.P. Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witch-House (Stuart Gordon): A graduate student of string theory rents a room in a run-down boarding house and the weirdness begins nearly immediately. With the scratching in the walls, rats with human faces and the portals to parallel dimensions right in his room. There's the obligatory old man, warning the grad student, who doesn't heed said warning. There are also bad dreams and the titular witch, as you'd expect, the good old Necronomicon makes an appearance and a rollicking time is had by all. 8/10
Dance of the Dead (Tobe Hooper): Post WWIII, where terrorist attacks and rapes happen by the score, clean blood is a commodity and the common denominator for entertainment has dropped even lower than Jersey Shore, a teenage girl disobeys her mother to go into the nearest city. The hottest in entertainment is something called L.U.P.s, which, for legal reasons, have to be prefaced as 'scientific' performances. When legal/ethical issues must be addressed in a post-apocalyptic hell-land you know you're in for a good time. Based on a story by Richard Matheson. Bonus points for having Robert Englund as the MC of the Doom Room, which looks like it's based on the NIN 'Wish' video. And, apparently, it was scored by Billy Corgan. This was one of my favourites of the entire MoH series. 9/10
Jenifer (Dario Argento): A detective happens upon a man about to butcher a young woman and, upon shooting the would-be assailant, discovers the woman has a severe facial deformity. Apparently mute, she's taken to an insane asylum. The detective can't stand the way she's being treated there, and takes her home with him. Things don't go very well, so he employs the help of someone accustomed to dealing with the specially gifted… the situation devolves from there. The screenplay was written by Stephen Weber, based on a short comic book story by Bruce Jones and Berni Wrightson. The goriest one thus far. mmmm entrails. 8/10

Daily 3-Bet: Ivey League Arrives, WSOP Bracelet for $99k, Super Gaëlle
The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is a three-tiered program that will give you diamond status in mid-afternoon poker newsology.
You can always hurl suggestions for future 3-Bet pieces in the comments section below.
In today's 3-Bet we'll take a look at the recently unveiled Ivey League, Gaëlle Baumann donning leather boots and one very expensive WSOP bracelet.
1) Ivey League Training Finally Debuts
At long last the IveyPoker business model has finally started to emerge.
On Tuesday the site announced Ivey League, which they are calling a premier poker-training site with dozens of top poker coaches from around the world including Phil Ivey.
The diverse group of coaches will provide strategy on all forms of poker including tournaments, cash games and Sit & Goes.
Ivey League will have three different tiers including Undergraduate, Bachelors and Masters.
Undergraduate is free, Bachelors is $9 a month and Masters is $75 a month.
Each tier has different features and perks topping out with exclusive training videos with elite IveyPoker pros like Phil Ivey himself as well as monthly Q&As.
Some of the pros attached to Ivey League are Patrik Antonius, Jennifer Harman, Dan Smith, Cole South and Andrew "luckychewy" Lichtenberger.
We miss the days when Ivey didn't know what training sites were.
2) WSOP Bracelet For Sale on eBay for $99,995
Want a WSOP bracelet but you don't have the poker skills to win one? Boy has eBay user goldwatchco-com got a deal for you.
goldwatchco-com is running an auction for a "World Series of Poker Championship $10k Yellow Gold Bracelet from 2013 Year." The buy-it-now price comes in at a low, low $99,995.
This isn't an uncommon practice as everyone from TJ Cloutier to Jamie Gold have auctioned of their bracelets.
The unbelievably high price is a new one, however.
It should be noted that although no one has gone for the $99k buy-it-now option, there have been several offers although thus far everyone has been declined.
So just who did the bracelet belong to?
Well only three players won $10k events at the 2013 WSOP in Las Vegas(not including the Main Event): Mark Radoja, Daniel Alaei and Jesse Martin. Both Radoja and Alaei seem unlikely since they are established circuit pros so Jesse Martin maybe?
We'll leave the sleuthing up to you.
3) Gaëlle Baumann Goes Wonder Woman for Winamax
We're not exactly sure what's going on in this photo shoot for Winamax that was posted on Instagram but color us intrigued.
2012 WSOP Main Event 10th place finisher Gaëlle Baumann is clad in red leather and showing some serious bicep.
We like to think of it as the cover for a new comic called Angle Smasher Gaëlle Baumann: The Hunt for Andras Koroknai but it's more likely a promo for Winamax. Check it out below:

Image: Wireworld Equinox 6 interconnect (Ohno Continuous Cast copper, Composilex composite material dielectric, DNA Helix twisted flat ribbon cable geometry) terminated with Wireworld Silver Tube rca connectors (silver plated OFC hollow center pin with Teflon insulator, silver plated OFC ground contact with silicone elastomer tension band, aluminum shell).
Wireworld Equinox 6 Interconnect Report
Over the past several years, an ordinary Motorola DCT2224 digital cable television terminal placed in my 2-channel main audio system has been the center of much attention towards improving the audio performance of movie soundtracks, digital music channels, FM radio feeds, and general television viewing/listening including well produced documentary soundtracks. Many audiophile power cords, audio interconnects, CATV coaxial cables, and vibration control devices have come and gone, with the Motorola DCT2224 being the only immutable object unable to be upgraded nor invasively tweaked. For a number of years, a pair of VH Audio Spectrum Cu interconnects terminated with WBT Nextgen Cu rca connectors ($359.99/1m pair) have performed excellently when placed on the audio outputs of the Motorola DCT2224, but my impressions of the Spectrum Cu when placed on the digital CATV terminal has included a caveat of perhaps being "too good" or not ideal in terms of synergy for the particular application. I found the Spectrum Cu to be rather unforgiving towards numerous sonic artifacts often present in sub par audio program material, including edgy sounding aspects of less than stellar soundtrack engineering, audio processing anomalies on the broadcast end of things, and the inherently mundane performance level of the digital CATV terminal in and of itself. Nevertheless, I've found the unit to be worthy of serious audiophile attention, since such efforts have indeed provided more satisfying audible results. When I recently came across mention of Wireworld's moderate-cost level Equinox 6 interconnect ($199/1m pair), intensive research of the product moved me to take a chance and evaluate the cable for use with the Motorola DCT2224.
The Wireworld Equinox 6 Interconnect features state of the art Ohno Continuous Cast single crystal copper wire, which is a real deal maker for copper line-level cable fans who desire a silky smooth, liquid characteristic while still retaining the "amber glow" sonic signature that copper conductors tend to present for line-level use vs. that of pure silver wire. The cable also features an obviously proprietary insulator called Composilex, a composite material which Wireworld claims to be an advanced dielectric that has replaced the use of Teflon in some Wireworld cable designs. Based on my subjective impressions, the cooler sounding sonic signature of Teflon is not present within my evaluation of the Equinox 6 interconnect, while not sounding as lethargic as PVC and PE can sound in many cases. Another notable design factor is the DNA Helix design: a twisted flat ribbon geometry which Wireworld claims to mitigate inductive loss and other performance issues (see text taken from Wireworld's product literature below). Otherwise, the appearance of the cable is not unusual and its flexibility is excellent, with no problem routing the cables throughout the configuration of my audio system. Perhaps the most immediately impressive design feature is Wireworld's Silver Tube rca connector:
The Wireworld Silver Tube rca connector deserves special mention here, since I subjectively believe the design to be on par with the best rca connectors I've ever experienced. It features a silver plated OFC hollow center pin with Teflon insulator, silver plated OFC ground contact with silicone elastomer tension band, and an aluminum shell. When the connector is plugged into an rca jack, the elastomer tension band positioned around the silver plated coper ground contact initially produces an unusually tight tension on the tip of the rca jack ground shroud until the plug finally slips onto the surface where it then provides a very firm but not a ridiculous amount of grip that would make the plug difficult to remove. The "feel" of this particular action is a joy to experience, and makes the notion of a locking barrel rca connector seem obsolete. The hollow copper center pin with direct silver plating is of obvious benefit and at least in theory is superior to the direct gold plated copper hollow center pin of the Eichmann Bullet Plug. Finally, the medium-mass aluminum shell that covers the Silver Tube rca connector is likely of benefit to the rigidity of the rca connector for vibration control purposes, as well as providing a level of EMI/RFI rejection. I'm so impressed by the plug that I look forward to implement the Silver Tube rca connector (8.5mm version only $10 each via Galen Carol Audio) for a DIY interconnect termination, and try to determine its intrinsic sonic merit apart from what it contributes to the sonic signature of the Equinox 6 Interconnect.
During the first 100 hours of burn-in, an incoherent veil seemed to obscure low-level information, with buried micro details and a level of micro dynamic reticence being of real concern about the future of this newcomer if ample burn-in time did not solve these fundamental issues. Fortunately, I found the Wireworld Equinox 6 interconnect to sound better and better, day after day, as the burn-in process progressed. That said, a substantial amount of burn-in time was required before I could do a proper evaluation. After 150 hours of continuous playback, the Equinox 6 interconnect certainly sounded far more open than it did previously, while a great deal of further improvement was found after 250 hours of burn-in. If a particular cable is actually deemed to be a keeper, I usually allow 400 hours burn-in before making a final judgement. In this case, it did not require any more time to make up my mind about the cable after the 250 hour burn-in mark.
In my experience, the Wireworld Equinox 6 interconnect presents a full bodied, information rich sonic signature including a well developed midrange with excellent presence. While not a definitively warm sounding cable, the gestalt is on the warmer side of neutral. I would tentatively assume that Wireworld's unexplained Composilex dielectric may contribute to this subjective perception of warmth vs. that of Teflon. After sufficient burn-in, the top end presented plenty of treble energy but was in no way bright sounding while sounding extremely smooth, with notable liquidity. The leading edge transients became better defined and more energetic as opposed to sounding a bit ill-defined and restricted prior to the 150 hour burn-in mark. Imaging and spatial cues within the soundstage are impressive and as integral as the reference cable provides. After 250 hours burn-in, the bottom end opened up and became more extended. I found the nature of the bass to be generous and well controlled, with enjoyable concussive impact readily apparent while listening to movie soundtracks with explosive audio content. Overall, in this application I found the primary difference between the Equinox 6 and the reference cable is the Equinox 6 presented a richer sounding tonality, while the reference cable sounded a bit leaner if not faster. I find more than satisfactory system synergy with the Equinox 6 placed between digital CATV source and preamplifier, and the reference VH Audio Spectrum Cu interconnects terminated with WBT-0110 Cu NextGen rca connectors placed between preamplifier and power amplifier.
I couldn't find a single caveat to mention while the Wireworld Equinox 6 interconnect was being evaluated within the context of my 2-channel home theater application, and can say it has subjectively bettered all interconnect cables above, around, and below its price point when placed on the audio outputs of the Motorola DCT2224 digital cable television terminal. How the Equinox 6 cable might fair when placed on a higher performance DAC or CD player is unknown to me, since my main audio system requires a longer interconnect for my DAC than the 1 meter length acquired for the digital CATV box.
The smooth liquidity, palpable presence, and obvious dynamics of the Wireworld Equinox 6 interconnect make it a real winner for my 2-channel home theater application, and believe it worthy of serious consideration by audiophiles who demand a high level of musicality within their critical listening sessions rather than a supremely analytical perspective. In my opinion, the Wireworld Equinox 6 interconnect is a new moderate-cost level favorite that I can gladly recommend, and a fine example of an affordable high performance interconnect of which audiophile experts, neophytes, and non-audiophile music lovers may find common satisfaction.
Cheers, Duster
The following text taken from Wireworld's product literature:
A perfect audio cable would transfer every sonic detail from one component to the next as if they were docked directly together, a condition called a �cable-bypass.� Wireworld is the only company that follows through on this essential concept by designing cables to provide the closest sound to a direct connection. The current Wireworld cable designs incorporate the knowledge gained from over 30 years of continuous development based on this unique objective approach.
Progress in cable design has apparently been limited by a basic misconception of how signals flow through cables. The common belief that signal energy is transferred as electron flow within the conductors is not true. Most of the energy is actually transferred in the electromagnetic field surrounding the conductors. This misconception has lead to the false assumption that using thicker conductors would improve sound quality. Increasing the thickness of conductors can only reduce the amount of energy that is lost as heat (resistive loss), while it actually increases the electromagnetic (inductive) loss that causes most of the audible degradation that we hear from cables. Resistive loss is less audible because it affects all frequencies equally, while electromagnetic loss is very uneven, changing the shape of the musical waveforms.
The inductive loss of cables is complex, as it includes skin effect, proximity effect, eddy current resistance and mechanical modulation effects caused by structural instability. The DNA designs were formulated to provide a comprehensive solution to these effects based on their audibility in bypass testing. To minimize skin effect, the flat conductors in the DNA designs are as thin as a single strand, yet there are enough strands to provide very low resistance. The strands are completely parallel, providing the most direct signal path possible. The flat conductors are arranged in stacked arrays to channel the electromagnetic field energy as efficiently as possible (See blue lines in Illustrations). Furthermore, for each design, the spacing between the positive and negative conductors is fine tuned by ear to match the pure sound of a direct connection. The effect of that tuning is like focusing a lens, with the beautiful textures and dynamics of live music coming into vivid 3-D focus when the spacing is just right.
The DNA Helix design (patent pending) used in Wireworld interconnects consists of a stacked array of four flat conductors, which are twisted together and tightly compressed within a composite shield. In addition to channeling the electromagnetic field energy more efficiently than other designs, this configuration also provides superior immunity to EMI/RFI interference. The conductors in Wireworld interconnects are insulated with Composilex, a proprietary material technology that minimizes triboelectric noise and noise modulation distortion, resulting in quieter backgrounds and cleaner transients than cables that utilize conventional insulation materials.
By combining the most efficient designs with the best upgrade materials, Wireworld audio cables advance the art of preserving the natural tone quality, spatiality and effortless dynamics of live music.
Wireworld connectors are engineered to provide the purest and most lifelike sound quality available. Awarded U.S. Patent #5,413,503, the Wireworld RCA plug design provides the highest conductivity of any RCA plug in the world. The most unique feature of this design is a silicone rubber tension band, which creates a smooth firm grip over any jack. The Silver Tube Mini Jack has solid one-piece silver-clad contacts for the ultimate in strength and sound qualtiy. With superior sonic transparency and a perfect fit every time, Wireworld connectors are simply the world�s best.
Bright gold-plated connectors may be beautiful, but they�re not a reliable indicator of quality in cables. Most gold-plated plugs are made of brass, which is plated with bright nickel and a thin layer of gold. Brass and nickel are rather poor conductors that introduce significant loss at the points of contact. Furthermore, the thick metal sections of conventional plugs reduce sonic clarity. Wireworld RCA plugs utilize thin- walled tubular contacts made of the best conductors, oxygen-free copper and silver, to provide distinct improvements in clarity, smoothness and dynamic range.
Follow Ups:
IME, this company is doing so many things right!
Duster - Thank you for taking the time to tell us what you heard. The TechRadar review dovetails with what you reported.
Some quotes from the TechRadar review are:
(Near the beginning)
"... Treble not as defined as some of the competition"
(At the end)
"Even better, if you're more interested in upper frequency regions there's no price to pay in terms of definition higher up, as the bass is achieved without dominating midrange or treble.
The very highest treble may not be absolutely as crystalline as with, say, the Black Rhodium Polar Illusion, but both it and the midrange are unemphatically detailed."
I have found that any DIY cable soldered to this connector takes on a coloration warmer and "thicker" than neutral. I have finally given up on them.
Try the experiment yourself and see.
Just about any connector imparts a substantial sonic signature of its own that can sometimes make or break, or simply laterally change a cables performance characteristics. IME, a number of very popular rca connectors I've worked with present dramatic effects on the tonality of the cables I've terminated with them, so much so that I sometimes wonder why other folks don't comment about what seems to be a very obvious factor. Different strokes for different folks, I reckon ;-)
Cheers, Duster
I've used several Wireworld connects over the years and think they're really good.
I've had mine burned in by Alan Kafton of Audioexcellence AZ. He uses his special burner which opens them up more than a human can possibly do. Results? My wires are usually well burned in by 50 hours.
Turnaround time is a couple of weeks, more or less depending on where you live.
I have heard that this particular cable is a little grainy in the upper registers but you claim it is smooth sounding. How is this possible?
I can't account for a difference in experience -- there's no grain on top, to my ear. Perhaps that particular opine was about a previous Equinox version, such as the Equinox 5 or Equinox III.
System synergy is the most likely culprit. I would expect the helix construction, while low in inductance, to be high in capacitance. Not all equipment likes that.
A serious Google search did not result in any report I can find, of any Wireworld interconnect featuring the DNA design as presenting a grainy sonic signature due to high capacitance or otherwise. Only one report even mentioned that the Equinox 6 might present a detrimental level of high capacitance, in their opinion. Besides, the most noticeable effect of substantially high capacitance tends to be a rather dulled sounding treble, not a grainy effect. In fact, to my ear, the Wireworld Equinox 6 interconnect clearly presents the smooth, grain-free sonic signature that OCC single crystal wire is most often known for. It would be silly for Wireworld to implement state of the art OCC conductors that are intended to sound grain-free for a cable that does not deliver the goods in that particular department.
just my 2 cents
I was thinking more along the lines of it causing instability in an already poor match of components and thereby causing the driver component to distort. I did a search and the only examples I could find is when excessive would act as a low pass filter and would, as you say, make the treble sound dull because it would be rolling it off. I also would not expect a respected company like Wireworld to design a cable with that much capacitance. Another example would be a tube preamp that lacks a cascode follower stage, and because of this, has a high output impedance driving a long length of cable. But this to would also cause a high frequency roll off. There was mention of store-release properties of high capacitance cables, but I could not find anything concrete. From this, I conclude that is unlikely that capacitance could account for the differences heard in this cable by other inmates.
Dave, Mungo Jerry has not heard the Equinox 6 and has only claimed that the cable sounds grainy in another persons opinion, an opinion I simply can't find on the internet. I don't see why a false accusation should be acknowledged as valid in Cable Asylum.
Because you couldn't find it on the internet, does that mean it doesn't exist? Does that require you to utter a "false accusation"?
What if I heard that from Don Morrison. Would you believe me? Or does it have to be on the internet somewhere to merit worthiness. By the way it was on the internet. See my other post.
"By the way it was on the internet. See my other post."
You misinterpreted what you read on the internet, so it was "misleading information". However, I could have been less sharp than using the term "false accusation", so for that I apologize. See my reply to your other post.
Techradar did a review and called the upper treble not as crystalline as another cable. I interpreted that as grainy. Maybe it didn't sound grainy on its own, but by comparison, it did.
Edits: 08/13/12
Crystalline as an audiophile term connotes the notion of transparency, for example, the perception of abundant extended treble energy with a bell-like clarity. Grainy refers to a rather specific textural artifact that is coarse in nature, with more "fine grained graininess" often referred to using similar descriptors used in wine tasting, such as fine particles on the surface of the mouth which feel powdery, chalky, grainy, gritty, etc. depending on how large or small those particles may be perceived. In the case of the Wireworld Equinox 6 interconnect, I sought a more polite, more forgiving interconnect cable for my digital CATV box, so the treble energy of the Equinox 6 does sound more subdued, with less treble energy than my reference cable, so I would also agree with the notion that the Wireworld Equinox 6 interconnect does not sound as crystalline as my reference cable does. However, the cable does not sound grainy, in any manner, to my ear.
"Crystalline as an audiophile term connotes the notion of transparency, for example, the perception of abundant extended treble energy with a bell-like clarity."
Are you sure? Seems to me that the distinguishing thing about Bells and Crystals (whether of the quartz or glass ilk) are that they are high-Q resonators which would mess up both temporal and frequency response and thus be a defect in an audio system, not transparency...
See link:
Dusty, maybe you should provide a glossary of approved "audiophile" terms so there won't be any confusion in the future; like PRAT, house sound and all that other nonsense. You used the word "lethargic" to describe the sound of a wire with a particular cover (can't remember if it was teflon or PVC now). I had to re-read that to make sure. I still can't believe it!
Edits: 08/14/12 08/14/12
See links:
I see your point. Hearsay is not very valid evidence of anything. However, I do find the subject fascinating that equipment, including cables, can sound very different in different systems. I have heard it for myself, when I sold audio. I have also been reading proponents of high and low capacitance cables. There are good arguments for both. Actually, it is not that difficult to DIY both.
From what I've gathered, the higher than typical capacitance of the DNA Helix design is due to the nature of a tuned LC cable geometry rather than some sort of shortsightedness on the part of Wireworld. While some folks might think that just lowering capacitance and inductance will make a cable sound superior, in my experience and understanding, audio cables with the lowest numbers don't always perform like what one might think they should simply based on measurements. That said, if the circuitry of a given component doesn't like to see higher capacitance cables, such as Goertz speaker cables that can cause some amplifiers to oscillate, there's always other, more compatible cable options to choose from.
".. typical capacitance of the DNA Helix design is due to the nature of a tuned LC cable geometry rather than some sort of shortsightedness on the part of Wireworld."
I did not think is was shortsightedness, give your comments and the care they appear to put in the design. At some point in the design process, you have to make some choices on benefits. There probably is not a perfect cable for all situations.
I have a Threshold CAS-1 which is and amp that a Goetz cable would blow up! I really like the sound, which is a major reason I am interested in this subject.
That may, of course, be also due to NOS tubes and newly rebuilt Quad ESL speaker which are now better than new.
No grain, no pain.
I was referring to Duster's observations i his review.

Home Depot Issue
Got somewhat of a problem. I went and bought a $300 kitchen faucet. Got home opened the package later on in the day and come to find out the box was stuffed with an old used faucet, looks like someone did a swap and got their $300 faucet for free!!!! :furious::furious:
By now its about 7:30pm and I grab up all the parts and box and reciept and head back to explain my case. The person tells me this. "How do I know that's not your old faucet" I then instantly ask to speak with a manager and find there is no high ranking manager on duty because its so close to closing time and to come back the next day to talk to a manager.
Any thoughts on how to handle this, I dont want to take no for an answer but the first person seemed pretty much useless.
I don't know if it would help but would take the new faucet and set it next to every faucet in your house and take a picture. While it really doesn't prove much, it suggests that you have a faucet in place at each sink, none of them are the one that is supposed to be in the box, and the new faucet is in the pic to kind of date the pic.
I wouldn't worry, I'm sure management will make it right. It would be different if you were trying to get money back like the person who had the box before you obviously did.
You might even ask for a store credit to make up for your lost time and trouble.
Well,well,well---Where are all of the Home Depot employees who keep posting advice on here???
I bet they will be hiding for a while-----
To be fair, I would not blame HD....(and I am NOT an HD employee...lol) It is hard to control all the losers, cheaters and scumbags out there.....I am sure they will make it right :thumbsup:
Btw, only buy the faucets with the plastic tamper proof banding on them, I believe they come from the manufacture that way. If it is missing, some one may have taken a part from the box....:whistling2:
Now Mike.... be nice. Why would they hide anyways? It's not THEIR fault there are dishonest people out there. I learned my lesson long ago and never buy anything that looks to be returned and restocked. I got a GFCI that the wife picked up and brought home installed, it had the light on and I thought it was good.... until I plugged something in to it. Dead as a doornail. I wrote DEAD and BAD on the unit with a sharpie and had her return it. MAYBE they won't put it back on the shelf to frustrate some other poor schlub??
I'm just poking fun---The return folks there may help--
Take it back, explain the problem. Make sure you mention the clerk who accused you of bringing one of your own faucets back. Do so indignantly. You can be sure that clerk will not do that again.
I bought a Rigid cordless drill from H.D. about a year ago. While eating lunch, I put a battery on charge and read the instructions. Noticed the lights weren't blinking correctly according to the manual. Put the other battery in with the same results.
Put everything back in the box and returned it. The return guy asked one question: Was this how you found it?
I said, yeah what do you mean? He said it was a return but was put back on the shelf instead of defective. Gave me my money back right there.:thumbsup:
But faucets, how would someone switch out a faucet and walk out the store with the new one? Seems strange, not saying it didn't happen.
nope those HD vendors you see now and then put the strapping on boxes that it was removed from, I bought a cheapie work force tile saw for 88 bucks because even if it lasted 1 job it was cheaper than renting one, it had those straps, I opened it up and the blade was stolen (you could tell they used channel locks to remove the spline screw)
Your best bet is to look for a tamper proof seal from the factory (Bosch does this)
Had a friend who bought a computer at WalMart, When he plugged it in, nothing. He looked inside and the case was empty. No hard drive, no motherboard, nothing. They wouldn't take it back either.
I am at a loss I do not know what to do, I talked to the store manager and he flat out told me there is nothing he can do because he has no way of knowing where that old faucet came from,
As for the packaging, it came with (2) 1/2" wide plastic straps around the box. It appears that they person slid the straps off the box, installed the expensive faucet, put the old faucet in the box, and slid the straps back on and returned the faucet and got their $300. When I bought it the package appeared to be 100% unopened and new (I never would buy a package that looks to be tampered with), so either they installed new straps or carefully removed them and reinstalled them.
So they got a free $300 faucet and now I am stuck paying for it!!!
Saw stuff like this years ago when I did tech work for lechmere
Old radio returned in the new box
We didn't even sell the radio...Customer Service had already issued a refund
Computers returned without any guts in them
Just the empty case...with bricks in it to equal the weight
I'd raise hell myself
Did you pay with a credit card ?
this becomes an issue of customer relations. Simply put, you are not going to win making a claim, even if you went to court (unless the judge was a sucker).
So, I would go up the chain of command at HD and see where it gets you.
even with Daves question about paying with a credit card; while you can get the charges reversed initially, there is nothing to prove your claim so eventually, unless HD caves, the charges would come back.
I don't think this will help your situation but I would consider this ---I doubt you will have a problem with an exchange.:)
A few years ago, I started this ---any time I make a purchase, I call an employee and we open the box. Unbelievable how many times I have found a situation like yours and how many items were damaged!
I talked to a store employee and he informed me that when an item is returned, it is simply put back on shelf:(
He stated that they have so many more items returned, because of damage and defects, then a few years ago, that they had to do this.
I bought a NEW gas wall heater and we opened the box in the store, got home and discovered "pipe sealant" and wrench marks on fittings. (evidently didn't check close enough)Threw it back in box, returned it, and the employee told me they didn't reshelf returned items.:laughing: They gave me a replacement.:thumbsup:

No that would be ridiculous as any laptop owners would soon be requesting their own laptops to be listed on their individual forums.
I would say if anything is to suggest to have laptop discussion forum, but even at that involves almost everyone here as I'm sure most are mobile users.
So all in all, no, its not a good idea.

Hi everyone! You came here to find out about Dana McDonald, so here we go! First let
me say that I LOVE what I do! I've been lucky enough to be able to do what I love for
over 30 years, the last 22 at Delmarva Broadcasting! I started my radio "career" at
WQHQ (Q-105) in Salisbury, from there I went to Fredericksburg, VA. (B-101.5), then
to WSTW (93-7) and Swing/Weekends at WWMX (Mix 106.5) and WLIF (Today's 101.9) in
Baltimore, and finally made the move to Cool 101.3 in late 2010. When I'm not
on Cool 101.3, I'm working a wedding or party with my mobile DJ company (
danamcdonalddj.com), having
fun with my 3 boys (all 12 years old or younger), or driving my wife crazy with my
"amazing" drumming skills! I look forward to meeting all of you, and I hope you'll
join me every weekday morning between 5:30 and 10!
Ramblin' Ray!

The 2008 America East Champion men's and women's UMBC teams led all member schools, sending a combined 11 student-athletes to the all-academic team.
Each All-Academic Team has been selected based on the student-athlete's academic and athletic accomplishments. Academic achievement for consideration requires student-athletes to have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.00 entering the season. Athletic accomplishment standards vary between team sports and individual sports. For swimming & diving, student-athletes are required to be a top-three finisher at the conference championship meet. Team size for individual sports is determined by the number of all-conference honorees who possess the minimum academic requirement. Freshman are not eligible for the All-Academic Team.

I have no idea what Federal uses and haven't used any Frderal rounds. I do however load the calibers you mention plus .40 S&W. My preference based partialy on how clean it burns is Vihtavuori powders.
I have tried the N3xx series and settled on N340 as being the best general purpose choice for all my loads.
If I want maximum energy from my .357 N110 provides it without fireball.
Short barrel hot .357 loads benefit from the faster powders either N310 or N320.
90% of what I load uses N340.
All of the VV powders burn cleaner than various other powders I have tried.
Good luck.

|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The 2009 season began with a tough loss to Kansas State Wildcats this weekend as UMass fell short of completing a second half comeback. There were a lot of question marks coming into this season as former Offensive Coordinator, Kevin Morris, has taken over as head coach and Kyle Havens was named the new starting quarterback since Liam Coen graduated. Despite the tough loss to the Big 12 team, UMass showed some positive signs that will carry over into the rest of the season.
After not scoring a touchdown in the first half, the Minutemen got some rhythm during the third quarter. After forcing a turnover, Kyle Havens threw his first touchdown of the season to tight end Andrew Krevis that cut the lead to 21-10. Aside from the touchdown pass, Havens needs to play better at quarterback. He was 10-34 with two interceptions and one touchdown. Tony Nelson finished with 107 yards on the ground, the eighth time in his career that he has surpassed the century mark.
Ke'Mon Bailey forced a fumble by quarterback Carson Coffman that was recovered by Michael Hanson, but unfortunately the Minutemen could not capitalize as Havens threw in interception the following possession. UMass forced two key turnovers that put the Minutemen in position to take the lead in the second half. Late in the third quarter, Bailey recovered a fumble on a punt return, which set up the four-yard touchdown pass from Havens to Krevis. Early into the fourth quarter, wide receiver Jeremy Horne blocked a punt by Ryan Doerr, which led to a touchdown by redshirt freshman D.J. Adeoba. Adeoba returned the ball for 26 and a score, which cut the Wildcats lead to 21-17.
UMass has their home opener next week against Albany (0-1).

13 Year Old Girl Leads Police on Crazy Chase
San Antonio Police this morning chased a stolen vehicle all around town and all the way to Lytle, thirty miles southwest of the city on I-35.
And 1200 WOAI news reports when they finally got the vehicle pulled over, it turns out they were chasing a 13 year old girl.
It all started about 11 PM when the girl, who probably should have been sleeping in preparation for high school today, stole her grandmother's SUV in the Medical Center area of northwest San Antonio.
When police got behind her, the girl refused to pull over, leading officers on a low speed chase across the west and south sides, before getting onto I-35 and ending up in Lytle, where she was finally stopped.
She'll face charges of evading arrest, and possession of a stolen vehicle.

A House-Senate conference committee unanimously agreed Tuesday on a compromise
bill that basically follows the Senate version. It would replace E-check
in northeast Ohio and the Dayton area.
E-check would remain in the Cincinnati area because it has not been in attainment
with clean air standards set by the federal government. Testing has been
suspended in Cincinnati, however, because of a dispute between the testing
company and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
The conference committee returned a key House provision that the Senate
had struck from the bill. It would require legislative approval of any expansion
of testing from the current 14 counties.
Under tougher clean air standards adopted this month by the U.S. EPA, up
to 50 Ohio counties could be ruled out of attainment.
Rep. Tom Johnson, chairman of the conference committee and the bill's original
sponsor, said lawmakers should have control of any expansion. He said it
could be years before the federal government acts on new areas that are
out of attainment.
"No offense to the Senate version, but I think it ties the hands of
the Legislature," said Johnson, R-New Concord.
The committee also amended the bill so that any contract changes required
with the companies conducting the tests are the same length as the current
contracts, which have about 8 1/2 years remaining.
The bill establishes a cap of $18.75 on the tests and appropriates about
$2 million for the budget year that began July 1 and $3 million for the
year after that so the EPA can pay for the changes.
The Voinovich administration remains opposed to the bill, said Kate Bartter,
the EPA's director of policy and legislation.
Voinovich has indicated he will veto it. He fears greater sanctions on businesses
in counties that aren't in attainment with the federal standards.
"It's not very different than the version that came out of the Senate,"
Bartter said.
Rep. Ron Young, R-Willowick, voted for the House version and likely will
vote for the conference committee report when the House considers it on
"It sounds like it will be an incremental improvement," he said.
"There's a reasonably good chance that I'll support it."

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Nice breakfast, friendly staff, free parking, silent place, nice rooms, internal facilities and health activities. No ,its ok.
good location, easy to find WiFi internet access is not free, most of hotels have this free for hes customers
Professional staff willing to help you when you need flexibility of check-in / check-out. Great breakfast superior to what is understood as continental breakfast. Cozy room with decent bed. Free parking lots available just in front of the hotel. A bit overpriced compared to mean European business-type accommodation, but we are talking about Scandinavia here, so it's rather normal.
The evening buffet dinners were very good and convenient. The pool and sauna was next to the dining room not offering much privacy.

4-H Member Information for Northumberland County Fair
Posted: July 6, 2011
The Northumberland County Fair Committee is hard at work getting ready for the 2011 Fair! In addition to the Northumberland County 4-H Program's Project Round-Up being held the evening prior to the start of the Fair, Northumberland County 4-H members are welcome to enter their projects into the Fair for judging and display during the three-day-long event.
Wendy Horn, who serves a 4-H Development Council Member AND the 4-H Contact for the County Fair, has been working with 4-H staff to ensure that members who wish to enter will have all the information they need. As with last year, all 4-H members are required to pre-register their projects for the fair. The fair catalogue and entry forms will be available shortly from the Extension Office (a link will also be placed on this site for you to download the entry forms). These entry forms will be due back to Sam Nicola at the Sunbury (District) office by no later than Wednesday, August 10, 2011. The forms will be verified by Sam to ensure that you are enrolled in the project in which you are entering.
The only change to this year's Fair Entries will be that all 4-H members will need to pay a $0.50 per entry fee. Although the Fair Committee has been able to waive this fee for pre-registration in the past, their budget from the State no longer makes this possible.
More information will follow as it becomes available.
