Hmm! So the girl is a cheerful giver. Interesting. But really, the person exposing her didn't have to put up her boyfriend and ex boyfriend's pics in this story.

Omo see Gobe. Pearl's mom is an irresponsible mother. Where did she think her daughter was getting all the money she was giving her from? And why lie dencia kidnapped her? Her mother is a rogue and a disgrace to motherhood. Her boyfriend used her, as the mumu wey she be. If she used the money on herself I for understand. See how u disgraced urself. Tonto na ur turn to laugh. Serious nyansh opening. IG big babes on fleek.. Kikiki

Methinks there's more to it too. It's either lesbianism or some illegal trade proceeds under the cloak of whitening cream. Why wont you keep your money byurself. Funds transfer has made it easy. pple don't even blv in whitening cream anymore bcos of the health implications.

U don't have to say every woman who does that for her friends are lesbians, some girls love having their friends around and if they have the money to spend or take them places, it doesn't make them lesbians. I do that for my friends and I'm not a lesbian and I'm also married. If you've got the money why not spend it anyhow u want.
- 10 March 2016 at 08:08
@flexfelix nigga umight b right. Dude ur fuckin making sense I av nevr seen dencia wit a guy.she might b lesbo and dat girl pearl might b her lover. Truth is pearl. Ain't a lesbo she faked it and dencia fell for it,tinkin she was one. Damn dencia got played

Dencia is NOT playing!!! *lol*
In situations like this though, I keep my mouth shut and never take sides. (There are two sides to every story.)
On the o the hand though, Dencia, you need to go to school and take some business classes. Entrusting N40M to someone other than yourself was pure foolishness.
Go to school and learn to manage your money yourself!!
- 10 March 2016 at 08:39
Just shut up and go back to read the story again. Pearl is her staff and her company representative here in Nigeria selling products and did not remit the money. Just because one idiot from the other post that does not know how to use comma posted that Pearl is using the money on girls because she(Pearl) is a lesbian. Stop typing nonsense that you know nothing about. If you do business you will know that anybody handling your money should be treated right
- 10 March 2016 at 08:41
Dencia, apart from having a good heart was looking at this from the business point of view. She had a vision of setting up her business in Nigeria and was being nice to the one who won be instrumental to laying the foundation of that.
It's the reason employees in Nigeria don't send us.

- 10 March 2016 at 08:50
I beg Flexfelix shut up and stop sounding like a fool. What has an act of kindness got to do with being a Lesbian? Dencia let Pearl run her bizness for her in Nigeria resulting to the theft of 40million naira. Not that she gave Pearl 40million naira.
- 10 March 2016 at 08:53
Okay. Because she was sleepimg with pearl.. That makes it alright for her to steal her money? You people like overlooking the important things!
Some people have a good heart.. Dencia is one of them.
Dont Be asking jamb questions. Make do with the information you have. Stop being myopic!
- 10 March 2016 at 08:54
It's not fishy! I know Dencia personally and she's very kind hearted towards people she cares about! Pearl is just a wicked opportunist but u know God has his way of exposing and dealing with such ungrateful bastards. Smh
- 10 March 2016 at 08:55

@flexfelix.....i am sorry to say but it's evident that the likes of you are not capable of just being good and kind without expecting anything in return. And it's such a pity. Incase you don't know, some people are actually that kind. If I was in ddencia's position, i'm capable of doing the same thing. Just been nice without expecting anything else other than that person's loyalty. Simple. I feel bad for the dencia lady. But try to collect Wat you can and leave the rest for God. No good thing can come out from such a person if you can do that to someone who gave her help to you. Na wa for people sha....

- 10 March 2016 at 09:21
Even if she is or has has anything sexual to do with pearl still doesn't give Pearl the right to steal from someone who has entrusted and helped her family. That's complete betrayal. She has to face the consequences.

- 10 March 2016 at 10:05
That's a very myopic thing to say. It's really sad how concave your thought process is. Because dencia help another lady who's not related to her and entrusts her with major business funds she's lesbian?....
I understand you might have your reservation but probably because you can't out of the generosity and abundance of your heart assist someone who's not a blood relative doesn't mean someone else would not...
Anyways, it's just sad that after all the good she got paid with deceit and deception.

Kai some people are just blabbing like fools here ok let's look at it from the bizness perspective you are doing bizness with someone or the person sell goods for you and for two months the person did not remit any money to you,you just keep silent like that if Dencia really know that there is nothing more to this she knows how to recover her money and stop all this Rubish she is saying and lastly for this Anonymous person you are very very stupid I can deal with people that comment with there identity not people that hide thereself under anonymous cause these so called anonymous person comment like someone without brain.
- 10 March 2016 at 12:31
When I read comments of people who haven't seen good money before or have never been in a position to help, I don't get surprised at all. Dencia was only helping this girl cos she also needed a Nigerian rep for her products. Sending the money back to L.A made no sense as she wanted to open a boutique in Abuja. Oh well, I font expect you guys to read and comprehend

But this Pearl girl was completely silly.... How can you give so much money to a useless guy???
- 10 March 2016 at 13:59
lol... this whole story just sucks eggs... don't know wtf is dencia or pearl... buh I know Jerry... He's smart, he damn fine and he has his shit together.. so d above storyteller f@#$*d up right there... dude schooled in uniben as some people rightly said, and then proceeded to getting his masters in the u.k... lol.. it's funny people just find it easy to post shit on here and its laughable cuz of cuz blog ish isn't verified... It's just put on to add gas to the fire.. buh pls don't put a young man that has nothing to do with nothing on blast... so what if he messed around with whoever? he grown like we all are I hope... But don't drag a reputable dude's name in mud... and just for good measure, I dare the storyteller to post a pic of the "supposed" car (with him in it ooo ...b4 whoever just puts out any new ride pic... cuz its not beneath whoever) that was bought for him. dude has been driving HIS cars since he was in uni... and that he was deported???...lol.. Isn't that hilarious, that someone deported from the U.k was immediately granted a U.S visa (stupid, he holidayed in the U.S frequently b4 he decided to relocate and pursue his career here... lol..) tf outta here with them lies... only truth tho is ... d dude is hawt... so she should also do him a favor and post his cell # or IG handle ... that'll make more sense... He could be a model.. and lastly LIB just made me post something on here ... hilarious. bless~
- 10 March 2016 at 17:56
Lol. Sounds like jerry got pained.
- 10 March 2016 at 18:28
Why won't they upload their pictures. Didn't they benefit from it. Did they work for it. Not neglecting the girls stupidity... For even sending money to the guy for clubbing & drinking with his friends. Saying she should delete their chats... Ole , Anuofia, Anamu... God will deal with them accordingly ungrateful cow... So many people are praying for such opportunity.
- 10 March 2016 at 19:19
Yall finished??i ain't surprised..You're all Nigerians so you'll think the same..went through a few intelligent people's comments on here. You people don't even know the half of the story and yall jumping into conclusions from what was brought towards yall to see..really not surprised cause "its the African mentality"....Dencia on the other hand just feels betrayed but for someone you claim to love this ain't how to go about it. Pearl did not steal from dencia as a matter a fact she was someone looking up to dencia as a role model that's why she talked about her so much with her boyfriend..the funds missing is not a problem her bank statements will tell it all..she's just so unsettled now cause of what shame dencia has brought upon her family and personality....if only dencia was smart enough to see this things, but wat do you expect from someone who has a show coming up??definitely a pub stunt...pls yall shouldn't say shit about what you don't know the quarter about....cause that innocent girl could possibly be thinking about suicide. Dencia I don't know if you'll ever get this but if I we're to be in your shoes, someone I claim to "love" illd have handled this case like I'll had disciplined my own sister and not smear it out publicly to make anybody look terrible....Be a matured person and talk to that girl like a sister and stop making her ex and present relationship a disaster...Thank you..linda just got my first comment.
- 10 March 2016 at 20:16
U dumb fuck!!!..Jerry was the dullest in class..he never even attended classes..

And I stand to be corrected, to the best of my knowledge, igbo men are giving, generous and prefer taking care of their woman's needs but unfortunately the same can't be said of the Yoruba guys!! With them it's the other way round!!

Why cant Nigerians be objective with their reasoning??
Business wise?
Dencia did a what a good businesswoman would do, which is employ the assistance of pearl as a celebrity shopper to be a Nigeria representative for her business which is doing very well by the way
(Her decision to employ Pearl is probably based on pearl's large celebrity client base already from her existing shopping business).
Now for those asking why she didn't demand for her money sent back to L.A? it made good sense she left the money in pearl's care hence her intention to open a store in Abuja, without a second thought that she would be defrauded by this pearl after having done so much for her!
Dencia is a shrewd and smart businesswoman by actually letting this girl and her family into her home and treating them as family. By exposing this girl to her business and treating her as family, her business will be handled well and returns well accounted for!
Unfortunately the pearl is a GREEDY FUCK, AN INGRATE and IDIOT !!
Acts like hers makes it hard for sincere and genuine people to be helped!
And enough about this Lesbian talks
Whatever happened to helping one another?! Kind hearted people still exists! And Dencia is a proof!
I pray she recovers her funds!

Daniel Viles Poetry Challenge - Gerry Didn't Meander to the Russian Front
29 July 2009 , 3:53 PM by Daniel Viles
This week's Poetry Challenge started off with a listener suggestion which was intended to satirise the electoral 'gerrymander' in Queensland during the 1970s and 80s. It ended up as an historically inaccurate tribute to that other sixties band from Liverpool, Gerry and the Pacemakers.
This is what can happen when one has but one hour to manufacture a poem.
Click here to read all of this year's Challenge Poems.
Richard's Reward Song lyric: your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear (from Superstar by The Carpenters)
Your suggestions: Luk Chai, a new tea? (from the newly named Thai elephant in Sydney); the spiders from Mars (obscure David Bowie reference); gallavanting all over the countryside; spin and grin; going off like a frog in a sock; Gerry didn't meander to the Russian front; uncorruptible; mai wenti pen you (Mandarin for "no worries, mate"); Shirley Bassey's sink (even more obscure David Bowie reference); mind-numbingly; I'm just wild about saffron.
Gerry Didn't Meander to the Russian Front
Gerry didn't meander to the Russian front;
he stayed up round Liverpool til three o'clock.
Turned a corner and heard that percussion grunt;
it was the Pacemakers going off like a frog in a sock.
Said Gerry, "your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear."
They asked, "can you sing?" and on a hunch, he tried.
A melodious sound did hence meet the ear,
so they went gallavanting all over the countryside.
Gerry didn't meander to the Russian front;
he sang with his band, his voice uncorruptible.
A Freddie, an Arthur and two guys called Les;
They must have thought their success uninterruptable.
They quickly outlasted and pushed off the ride
bands like The Eggheads and The Spiders from Mars.
Mind-numbingly dreary and strummingly weary
were no match for Liverpudlians with slider guitars.
They toured the world, they used Shirley Bassey's sink
and their front man quickly perfected the spin and grin.
Their hair suggested they were the missing Lassie link
and you couldn't see where did Gerry's chin begin.
In their travels, they learned to cook Thai and stew peas,
then put on their concerts to where plenty would go.
They named a local elephant Luk Chai. Hmm, a new tea?
And charmed the Chinese with their 'mai wenti pen you'.
So Gerry didn't meander to the Russian front
and to be perfectly fair, I think everyone knew it.
There was no rebel yell, just a song from Carousel
as they plaintively asked the world, "how do you do it?"
While others might sing, "I'm just wild about saffron,"
the Ferry Cross the Mersey sailed into the clear.
As they possibly said, "we're just 'avin' a laugh, mon."
Send in the clowns? Pfft. Don't bother, they're here.

How about Daniel has to include in his poem every week, Roly Sussex's word of the week that is 'not heard of enough these days'!
[What? Don't you think it's hard enough as it is? :) Cheers, Fiona - Daniel]

xx 740i - Reset the multi function display.
My BMW is 2001 740i manuf date 9/200.
After disconnecting the battery to change the oil cover gasket, the monitor above the AC is locked. Please help. Any lead is appreciated.
Last edited by bmw2qnj2le; 07-21-2012 at 08:16 PM. Reason: Provide more info of my 2001 740i BMW
A "xx 740i" could be any e38 740i model year except 1996 (no SWB 740i models were imported that year)...and the term "multi-function display" could refer to either the MID (multi-informational display) or Nav monitor...because they both do multi-functions and both sit "above" the AC (IHKA) panel.
Help us help you better and be a little less vague in the description of your issue and car info. When forum members aren't sure as to what you are referring to or what model year (due to different component set-ups & options)...many times you end up with a thread that has many "views"...but few "replies"...because they don't know how to respond.
A generic suggestion would be to check all fuses for which ever set-up you have. Removing & replacing the battery cables could have sent a power surge thru the electronic system and blew a fuse. The major electronic component fuses are located in the engine bay & trunk (above the battery). Each location has a fuse index & chart that indicates what the fuses do and the fuse number & amperage...and the illustration shows the location of each fuse in each fuse box.

Thanks QSilver7 for your advice. My BMW is 2001 740i built in 9/2000.
I disconnect the battery terminals to change the gasket of the oil covers but I forget to disarm my lock code. After I complete the gasket job, I connect the battery. The alarm goes off. I disarm it with my car key. I cannot start my b/c the security code is still active and the NAV screen does not display the screen to enter the security code (but the neon backlit light is on, the phone button does work and the radio is working). In the past, when I replace the battery, the display comes right back after the ignition key is turned on. I have to use the emergency start procedure to reset my security code by 1) disconnecting the battery for 5 min.; 2) reconnecting the battery and 3) then turn on the ignition to position 1 for 10 min. I can start the car after the reset of the security code. Thanks for your advice of the fuses. I did not think of the fuses. I will check them tomorrow. It is late now. I will post after the findings. Many thanks QSilver7.

Where can I find such a plugin which would make it able to display products in a widget from another site on my website? More precisely I am searching for a plugin which could display video game products after their review and after the articles about those video games.
Thank you in advance.
No offense guys, but I don't get the method you are working with outdated and non-supported scripts. I bought two scripts which got outdated later on and after that deleted by the staff. I think you should improve your system. As we – the ones who have purchased the product – do not get back out money, you should Not remove these for download, but you Should remove the purchase button.

Note that this is the first gun related crime to occur at one of these malls. Believe me, these malls are located in very affluent, upscale northern suburbs of Motown. But as long as they are accessible to the criminal element (in this case from the D) and the local PD or mall security are "unwilling" to use the very effective tool of profiling, then crime will continue to occur or increase.

When I was a kid my dad would never let me go to certain malls with certain friends. It pissed me off at the time, but as I gained wisdom, I realized how much malls can be a congregating point for all sorts of gangs and unrully youth. (and some of my friends had big mouths, that my dad didn't want writting checks that I would have to cash)

Last time I went to a mall I was robbed and the cashier did not use a gun.

Our local mall was really safe in the 70's. Now it is dangerous on weekends and at night. Security is several fat people with a badge and flashlight. At Christmas they hire real cops on bicycles to police the parking lot. Other than that it is loud rap in the parking lot,people passing drugs ,etc.

As if I didn't already hate malls, this is just another good reason to avoid them. The last time I was forced to go to one with the family, I carried 2 guns.

No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
I know both of these malls very well, grew up going to them as far as I can remember (I'm 44 now). One is VERY upscale, high priced stores, etc. in a very affluent area. Sometimes it wasn't unusual to see local celebrities and sports figures shopping there on occasion. It's not as bad as the media make it out to be now. I would imagine the level of rif-raf increased there over the years, but I haven't seen anything too bad lately. As far as the other mall (Oakland Mall), it has ABSOLUTELY gotten worse. My wife and I don't even go there anymore and we are both armed. Too much ghetto, low hanging pants, trash talk, thug looking morons now and the stores there seem to cater to that type (urban hip hop styles, etc). It used to be the nicest mall in the area, but has REALLY gone down hill. It seems the whole Detroit area mall scene has gotten that bad, so we both just avoid it altogether unless it is absolutely necessary. It's best to just go there during the week between 10am-5pm.

Title: ABA- Behavior Management in the Classroom
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) "is the science in which procedures derived from the principles of behavior are systematically applied to improve socially significant behavior to a meaningful degree and to demonstrate experimentally that the procedures employed were responsible for the improvement in behavior" (Cooper, Heron, & Howard, 1987, p.14).
A variety of teaching strategies use the principles of ABA and have been shown to be effective when teaching students with Autism.
ABA focuses on observable, specific behavior(s), the measurement of those behaviors, data collection using systematic procedures, and constant re-evaluation of the plan. ABA looks at the antecedent, behavior, and consequence. Focus is on the function of the behavior(s), such as attention-seeking, access to tangibles or activities, escape/avoidance, and/or sensory imbalance. Standard(s):

Louis van Gaal fuelled an extraordinary ''who didn't do it?'' probe last night after suggesting two of his players declined to take the first kick of Holland's penalty shoot-out defeat by Argentina, writes Martin Lipton in Sao Paulo.
While the new Manchester United boss confirmed he would have played his shoot-out Joker and sent on Tim Krul for a second time if he had not already taken off Robin Van Persie and sent on his third substitute, Van Gaal said his search for a volunteer had been met with rejection.
Van Persie had taken the first kick in the quarter-final triumph over Costa Rica but the Old Trafford striker was ''exhausted'' after being sick before the game.
It meant the Aston Villa man stepped up and shot too close to Sergio Romero, and with Wesley Sneijder also denied, four conversions took Argentina through to their meeting with Germany in the Maracana on Sunday.
Van Gaal said: ''I ask myself the same question, if having won one before should have given us an advantage.
''It should give you confidence. We took them in incredible way against Costa Rica.
''The issue is that you have to score first penalty. I asked two players to take the first one before I ended up with Vlaar.
Netherlands vs Argentina - in pictures:
''He had confidence because he was the best player on the pitch. When push comes to shove it's not easy to score.''
The finger of suspicion hung over Sneijder, successful duo Arjen Robben and Dirk Kurt and Van Persie's replacement, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
Asked to clarify if the translation provided by FIFA had been accurate, and over his statement that he ''taught'' Romero to save penalties when he signed him for AZ Alkmaar in 2007 - ''and that hurts!'' - Van Gaal turned tetchy.
''I don't think it's fair, asking a question which is humiliating,'' he snapped. ''Then again, I didn't teach Romero to stop them. It was a joke.
''But we were the club that brought him to Europe. He has the merits for that. Alkmaar was his first club in Europe.''
Holland did not manage a shot on target for the first 99 minutes of a desperate game, the first semi-final in World Cup history to finish goalless.
Van Gaal, though, maintained: ''It's disappointing. Losing on penalties is the most difficult scenario. We were equal to them, if not better, so it is a big disappointment.
''We played a fantastic tournament. Nobody had expected us to make it through from the group stage but we reached the semi-finals, played a top country with top players, didn't lose but went out on penalties.
''But the issue is to score one more than opponent. We didn't do that and didn't create much.
''In the other games we created so many more chances. That says something about them and us, because they didn't create many either.
Who will win the World Cup Final?
''There were very few chances. That says something about the tactical match we saw.''
Holland now have to raise themselves for a trip to Brasilia to face Brazil in the third-place play-off on Saturday, a fact which brought another sour response.
''This is a game that should never be played, and I've been saying it for 10 years,'' he added.
''We have a day less to recover than Brazil and that's not fair play.
''But the worst thing is that the chances are you lose twice in a row and after a tournament in which you've played marvellously you can go home as a loser. It has nothing to do with sports, in my view.
''At this stage of a tournament you shouldn't have players play a match for third. There's only one prize that counts and that's becoming world champion.''

TWO 'soulmates', who ran Burnley pubs together for many years, have died within 11 days of each other.
Retired publicans Alan and Ellen Heyes, both 78, had been together for 64 years after meeting when they were 14.
Their son Ray, 60, spoke of how his mum told his dad 'not to be too long behind her', while she was being cared for by him at their cottage in Hurstwood.
Ray, of Deerpark Road, Burnley, said: "They were soulmates. They did everything together.
"Everyone who knew them said they were the most devoted couple they had ever met."
The couple, who married when they were 18, celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary last November.
They both took jobs at the Crooked Billet, in Worsthorne, and then the Peels Arms, Burnley, which has since been demolished.
While working there together, they saved up enough money to take over the Baltic Fleet in Briercliffe Road, in 1971, where they were landlord and landlady for 22 years.
- Four arrested after man is stabbed in the street
- 'She's lucky to be alive' - Stray cat rescued after falling into sewer pipe but sibling still missing
- Man who launched a 'frenzied, brutal and sustained attack' on a friend with a hooked fishing knife, copper pipe and curtain pole jailed for 10 years
- Care home boss who stole more than £30,000 from an 87-year-old resident told she faces jail
Ellen was diagnosed with the heart condition, pre-cardiomyopathy, in 1991, leading the couple to retire two years later.
Ray, a dad-of-two who used to run the North Valley Hotel, Colne, and the Park View pub near Turf Moor, said: "Their popularity started when they were at the Baltic Fleet, and they were the life and soul of the community while they were there, and maintained a lot of friends from that time.
"But when my mum was diagnosed, my dad didn't want to put any strain on her heart.
"She was given 10 years to live, but she survived 20. She was a tough lady with a strong character. She was the youngest of 11 so she knew how to defend herself. She wasn't having any of that 10 years business."
The couple, who were born three months apart, bought a holiday home in Alcudia, Majorca, travelled extensively in North America, and when they retired became keen gardeners at their home.
Ellen was taken to Royal Blackburn Hospital on February 6 and then discharged to receive end of life care at home on February 13.
Ray, who now works for Revenue and Customs, said: "My dad just couldn't cope, knowing that she was near the end."
Two days later, Alan suffered a seizure and was taken to Royal Blackburn Hospital at 2pm. At 10pm the same day, Ellen passed away at home. Alan died 11 days later in hospital.
Ray said: "They were wonderful parents and grandparents. Family was everything to them, and they led an incredibly happy life together."
The couple also leave son Graham, 56, and their grandchildren.
A joint funeral will be held tomorrow (weds) at St John the Evangelist Church in Worsthorne at 11am. Family flowers only, and any donations should be made to The British Heart Foundation c/o Alderson and Horan Funeral Services, Rossendale Road, Burnley.

Positive Feedback ISSUE 66
M-800A Amplifiers and C-800F Control Amplifier
as reviewed by Marshall Nack
"I have an idea of what 60 watts of Class A power will do; I have heard that before. Frankly, I don't see it driving this speaker." Thus spoke Sheldon, my golden-eared panel mate, before we got started. Those were my thoughts exactly during the getting-acquainted period, when I was running a stereo M-800A into my YG Anat Studio speakers, before a second M-800A and the matching C-800f preamp would arrive. (The M-800A can be run in either stereo or mono mode.) Consequently, this review contains sections describing the arrival and installation of the various components in my system.
In truth, I was on a roll with amplifiers last year. First I switched from my reference Soulution 710 stereo to the Tenor 175S stereo, a hybrid beauty with 175 watts/channel. Then came the mbl 9008A monoblocks with 440 watts/channel and virtually unlimited headroom. I got used to their megawatts and level of performance—the YG Anats love power. All of these "big boy" amps are in the $55K + territory.
Sure enough, it was immediately obvious that the single M-800A (MSRP $19K) had nowhere near the authority, especially on the bottom, of the mbl 9008A monos it replaced. No surprise, that: the MBL Reference amps own that territory.
So, Sheldon got that right, but the 60 watt Class A, solid-state stereo amp went on to dispel other preconceptions and impress us on four major counts:
Control over the speaker drivers. The amp has very good damping capability as observed in the controlled start and stop of the drivers. Driver willfulness is suppressed and the amp is in charge.
Macro Dynamic Quality. While dynamic range may not be as wide as the big boys , the quality of macros is excellent. You may notice fall off in sustained tutti passages, but they remain open and distortion free. You'll never hear the amp clip.
Signal Purity. I don't hear any grit, grain or other artifact. The M-800A is very pure and direct, without a lot of "stuff" or spin on the signal. Tone is a bit warm and timbre is very satisfying. These are rendered in a tube-like manner, so it is easy to read the signature of each instrument.
Resolution. The stereo M-800A offered up a huge amount of detail. Ambient cues are abundant: you'll hear things like slap echo where you hadn't heard them before.
The C-800f Control Amp
I happened to have the Fred Hersch Trio's Night and the Music CD (Palmetto, PM 2124) in the tray when I swapped in the Luxman C-800f preamp for the mbl 6010D. This 2007 release was Hersch's first trio recording since the 1990's and it is an exemplary document of the new kind of piano jazz he trail blazed.
The pairing of that music and the Luxman preamp was a serendipitous first outing. So relaxed; so unpredictable; and so interesting! Hersch communicates beyond pure technique and is saying something that touches on the spiritual. Note his exquisite pacing. Observe that I didn't say PRAT. In my book, PRAT is about getting your toe in motion and head bopping to a propulsive beat. No, Hersch tends to favor slow rhythms and enjoys lingering over a note and exploring the nuances of a phrase.
So does the C-800f. This kind of observation would be repeated throughout the audition period with varying source material. The C-800f, like the M-800A, is great at extracting and conveying musical meaning. Tone is warm and sweet and timbre is tube-like; different instruments reveal more variation and less sameness.
M-800A Monoblocks
By February I put in the second M-800A. Full Luxman amplification was now in place: when I power up the system, the room temperature elevates by about 2 degrees. These Class A monoblocks give off a lot of ambient heat.
I put the Fred Hersch Night and the Music CD back in the tray. Now, with the M-800A in mono configuration, the reservations regarding low-end—specifically bass foundation and body needing a tad more flesh—are left by the wayside. Ditto for dynamic range. The M-800A in mono configuration achieves what few amplifiers can: any concerns regarding power recede from our thoughts and the listener's focus moves elsewhere.
As the importer's website says, go with monoblocks "…if you need more power & weight to your music. In monaural mode the M-800A delivers 240W into 8Ω," and it's all Class A power. My YG Anat speakers loved 'em!
The best quality amplification lends the soundstage firmness and solidity, not wishy-washy vagueness. Images have virtual mass and weight and are planted on terra firma. They don't move about for no reason (like they do when control is lacking). They have support that comes from the ground up. When an instrument speaks, it is intentional—they speak with authority.
That description certainly applies to the mbl 9008As. Those amps were champs in this area and remind me of a weightlifter. They throw a muscular, high-mass, firm soundstage.
The Luxman monoblocks also throw a muscular and massive soundstage, but it's a bit leaner, because the images are smaller, more compact and taut. They dance around the stage like a graceful gymnast.
Riddle #1
The transient is hard-hitting. Pop! It strikes with a firm punch. But that force is tempered with a soft leading edge—everything is round, nothing is pointed. It is hard and soft at the same time.
Riddle #2
Notes tend to linger. The Luxman decay evaporates leisurely, like tubes—the opposite of clipping. (And unlike many solid-state components which have a sharp transient and a foreshortened decay—a nasty combination that makes them sound like an On/Off switch.) The soft onset and leisurely decay may fool you into thinking the amps are slow. Not true. While not as quick as the Soulution 710, it matches the mbl 9008A.
The Key to Communication
The Luxman preamp and monoblock combination exhibits a virtual panoply of anti-solid-state qualities—that is key to its ability to communicate the musical message. Operating in Class A means it has natural sweetness and warmth. Yes, the gear has a moderate dose of pretty colorations, but they are not overdone. It allows all of the uniqueness in recordings—both the warts and the beauty—to come through. Actually, retrieval of low-level, delicate material is excellent. You can look far and wide—you will not come up with evidence of artifact.
Completing the picture, the treble is extended, sweet and never irritating. It will not bite you. The middle is pleasantly full and deeply saturated. The bottom is reasonably well-developed—tight as well as full. Dynamics are consistent over the range, including low-level SPLs, which are rendered as a reciprocal, reduced version of loud. Coherency and integration are superb.
Set UP: Power Conditioners, etc
I did not get the quality of sound described above until I discovered how sensitive the C-800f was to its environment. The rule of thumb is power amps do not like conditioning. For whatever reason, I found the C-800f preamp is mighty averse to it as well. When used with any power conditioning, passive or active, the C-800f became more rounded, warm and soft—the tubey colorations bloomed. Plug it straight into the wall or use a power strip and you'll get sharper transients and better macros.
The C-800f worked excellently with the Soulution 710. However, optimum results were when I paired it with the M-800A amps, which leads me to think you won't really know how good the gear is unless you run all Luxman amplification—plugged straight into the wall, of course.
The Luxman 800 series has contemporary/classic styling. Fit-n-finish is super, as good as it gets. It sports a modern look with smooth, round corners, no exposed screw heads and heat sinks that are hidden inside the chassis.
The elegant front panel on the C-800f has minimal controls, but I do wish the display had a larger font—it's too small to read from the listening seat.
Instead of power meters, the M-800A has a vertical, yellow band around the Luxman logo on the faceplate that fluctuates in tandem with the musical program, giving you a visual of the power it's putting out. Neat—but if you don't care for the display it can be dimmed or turned off completely.
Tech Discussion
Luxman invented the application of global negative feedback back in 1955. Though still widely used, they moved on and in the late 1990s took a different approach and invented ODNF (Only Distortion Negative Feedback), where only a small amount of negative feedback is applied to match the level of distortion. Through this means they avoid inducing the phase distortion common to conventional negative feedback systems.
The box within a box chassis construction is composed of mixed layers of steel and aluminum. Inside the M-800A, you'll find solid copper bus bars and gold plating of the copper signal traces. All of the resistors are custom designed and manufactured. (BTW, none of those signal traces turn on right angles. Luxman engineers are fanatical about sound quality, compulsive to an unusual degree. They believe right angles impact sound quality. Consequently, all signal traces make graceful curves on the circuit board.) Binding posts are over-sized plastic knobs that are easily cinched down by hand—no tools are necessary.
One design highlight in the C-800f worth mentioning is that it uses the same volume control developed by Luxman for their statement preamp, the LECUA 1000WM. This very sophisticated device works in the analog domain and has the ergonomic feel of a conventional, high-quality, counterweight movement volume control. However, it doesn't use variable resistors. Consequently, the music signal is not impacted by changes in impedance and there is no deterioration of S/N ratio or frequency response regardless of volume setting.
Both preamp and amp drop the ground leg on the IEC input power cord jacks—ground is floating. When I asked the importer, I was told the components are double-insulated from the ground. Further, many engineers believe this is the right way to approach electrical ground. In my lengthy audition, I was never troubled with ground noise.
The Luxman 800 series of amplification (the M-800A amp and C-800f preamp) is solid-state, but it can fool you into thinking otherwise, because it doesn't have a solid-state signature.
The M-800A amp operates in Class A mode. If that conjures up high purity, you guessed correctly. You'd also be right in thinking grainless, rounded, clear and a bit warm. The midrange is dominant and has high transparency—consequently, micro dynamic vitality gets a boost. This cluster of characteristics, uncommon for solid-state gear, is ideal for communicating the emotional content in the music.
But wait! The Luxman 800 series in monoblock configuration also enjoys the benefits associated with the best solid-state gear: dynamics, resolution, and sound-staging. It's high power and Class A all the way.
Warm, sweet, detailed and powerful—what a combination for musical pleasure! Highly recommended for jazz and classical aficionados with deep pockets. Marshall Nack

An Investment Opinion
U.S. Franchise Lodging Growth Warren Gump (TMF Gump)
August 2, 1999
Upstart lodging franchising company U.S. Franchise Systems (NYSE: USFS) posted its fourth consecutive profitable quarter today, with earnings hitting $0.08 per share, in line with First Call's consensus estimate. The company, which began in October 1995, franchises three brands: 159-unit Microtel Inn & Suites, an all new-build economy chain; 63-unit Hawthorn Suites, an extended-stay chain; and 80-unit Best Inn & Suites, an economy chain that accepts conversions from other brands.
Although Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR), the hotel industry's equivalent to same-store sales, is usually a headline statistic, investors in an emerging franchising company should take a closer look at the number of new properties in the pipeline. Fees generated from new property growth will have a much more significant impact on royalty and fee income than changes in RevPAR. For the quarter, U.S. Franchise experienced solid growth across its brands, opening 24 Microtels, 9 Hawthorns, and 15 Best Inns. Indicating that growth is accelerating, the number of properties under construction in the Best and Hawthorn brands has risen dramatically from last year. The number of Microtel's being built is flat with the same time last year.
One of the key selling points of U.S. Franchise Systems is its franchisee-focused management team. Led by industry veteran Mike Leven, who previously served as President and COO of both Days Inn and Holiday Inn, the company strives to be more responsive to franchisee needs than the bigger companies that often ignore requests from their direct customers. Based on the number of units opened to date -- in particular, conversions from other brands into Best and Hawthorn -- U.S. Franchise seems to have struck the right cord.
From a financial perspective, you have to be careful looking at the current profit being reported. While it is certainly real, the company incurred a nominal tax rate of only 5%, a rate that will likely jump to 30%-40% once all tax loss carryforwards are utilized. In addition, almost half of the company's pre-tax income is derived from interest on cash and marketable securities. Over the long haul, equity investors tend to find that an emphasis on operating earnings proves more beneficial than income from cash sitting at the bank.
U.S. Franchise has made tremendous progress developing its brands over the past four years. With a quickly rising unit base for each concept, the company will have more dollars to invest in marketing and advertising to further increase brand equity. That higher awareness should result in more units being built, continuing the cycle and yielding hefty royalty fee profits to U.S. Franchise. Now trading around $20, up from a 52-week low of $4, and considering earnings estimates of $0.45 for the current year, I can't help but think the stock may have gone a little too far, too fast. Don't fall asleep, though, because this company seems to be one worth keeping your eyes on.

I have done some conventional and ag barn building, but this one will require a stacked roof, (which is new to me) and lots of new stuff for me.
any suggestions on a brn home forum and similar site? Any barn home owners here.
Thanks for any advise or links.
Nevada, soon Cambridge Idaho.

With many friends speaking different languages, Facebook becomes confusing, and translating everything can be time consuming and boring.
With FaceBabel, you have simply to click on a status to translate it to your favorite language. And it also works with comments, events and private messages.
By default everything is translated in the language of the browser, but it can be changed in the options page.
As the translations are performed only when required, and only on the content indicated by the user, the bandwidth used by FaceBabel is very limited.
This extensions uses Google Translate, so every translation is submitted to Google using a secure connection.

Millbrook Country House; Millbrook, NY
Take a jet-set escape (without the flight) and experience la dolce vita in New York.
RECOMMENDED: See all weekend getaway ideas
Run by former Gourmet editor Lorraine Alexander and her husband Giancarlo Grisi, Millbrook Country House brings a chunk of the Emilia-Romagna region to the affluent Dutchess County village. After Grisi and his brother sold their family's late-Renaissance villa near Modena, the Italian-born innkeeper brought his share of the furniture, art and objects to this 204-year-old residence. The Adriatic style is perhaps most obvious in the Barocco room, where a reproduction of Guido Reni's La Aurora (which the couple found in a flea market in Santa Margherita Ligure, down the coast from Genoa) hangs over the gilded Venetian bed.
Listen to Puccini on the Bose sound system or peruse the extensive library of books on food, art and travel in the property's sprawling living areas, or chill in the peaceful grounds, where the scent of basil and rosemary wafts from the herb garden—the harvest can be sampled in your breakfast omelette. Afternoon tea with homemade baked goods or ice cream is also included. On request, the couple will serve guests a three-course dinner ($45 per person), made from local ingredients. Since the B&B has no liquor license, pick up a bottle at Millbrook Vineyards & Winery (26 Wing Road; 845-677-8383, millbrookwine.com). The winery, which also has a Tuscan estate, Villa Pillo, is holding an Italian buffet lunch on May 19 to pop the corks on its newly released tocai friulano ($55, advance purchase required). 3244 Sharon Tpke, Millbrook, NY; 845-677-9570, millbrookcountryhouse.com). Rates $175–$275; mention TONY when booking by phone to receive ten percent off the room rate on stays of at least two nights through June 30 (excluding Memorial Day weekend).

Bootstrap 3, the popular HTML5 front-end design framework (and top-starred project on GitHub), has finally been released—and what a release it is! With tons of new features and a revised API, there's much to enjoy. Here are some of the new features and things to keep in mind when working with Bootstrap 3.
Mobile-first and fully responsive
The Bootstrap 3 framework has been entirely rewritten to follow mobile-first design principles, so you can more easily build responsive web experiences that adapt gracefully from smaller to larger screens.
By Ray Villalobos | Thursday, November 15, 2012
Recently I've been using a really awesome framework called Bootstrap to put small websites together. In this article, I'm going to guide you through the basics of the Bootstrap installation process, and how the Bootstrap framework can be customized for a responsive web design.
The end result of this tutorial will be a custom Bootstrap website (you can see the final website here). If you prefer to skip the basics and get right to the Bootstrap code, you can download the code directly from GitHub.

Man Buys Ticket to Game 1 Of World Series for $6 on Stub Hub
Is this real life? Obviously we have heard of outrageous ticket prices for the World Series but this is definitely a new one.
Deadspin posted photos from a user saying that he purchased one ticket to a game in the upcoming World Series for $6 on StubHub.
Apparently, he only paid $3 but with $1 service fee and $2 delivery fee he ended up paying a total of $6.
We are wondering the same thing you are…How did this happen? Presumably the seller screwed up…in a HUGE way. Or maybe it was just someone trying to make someone else' day?
Whatever it is we'd just take the ticket and go enjoy a beer or two at Fenway Park.

French first lady Trierweiler leaves hospital
By Elizabeth Pineau
PARIS (Reuters) - French first lady Valerie Trierweiler left hospital in Paris on Saturday, a week after reports emerged that her partner, President Francois Hollande, was having an affair with the actress Julie Gayet, a member of Trierweiler's staff said.
Trierweiler left the Pitie Salpetriere hospital just after 1400 GMT (9 a.m. EST) and is resting at the president's residence at La Lanterne, the official said, confirming a report in Paris Match magazine, for which Trierweiler works.
Paris Match said Trierweiler was expected to spend a few days at La Lanterne, near the Chateau de Versailles on the outskirts of Paris, citing sources close to Hollande.
The president's office declined to comment.
Trierweiler was admitted to hospital on January 10 after the gossip magazine Closer published what it said were images of Hollande making a nocturnal visit to Gayet's pied-a-terre apartment in the upmarket eighth arrondissement of Paris.
Hollande, who visited Trierweiler in hospital on Thursday, according to a source in his office, was in his old parliamentary constituency of Tulle, in central France, on Saturday. His speech there made no reference to the matter.
The reports of the affair with Gayet, which Hollande has neither confirmed nor denied, have raised questions about whether Trierweiler will continue to occupy the unofficial position of France's "first lady" and accompany the president on state visits.
Hollande pledged at a news conference on Tuesday to clarify Trierweiler's status ahead of a trip to the United States scheduled for February 9. He brushed off questions about the alleged affair. Continued...

Setting aside any achievements in being a gaming professional, most of what I can think of, though that's partly because of the culture surrounding games rather than directly from the games themselves. But then can that really be separated? I'm not sure.
Running convention games for random people has made me a lot more confident in talking with people I don't know. A decade ago, I was an introvert who dreaded being around people I didn't know, let alone actually talk with them. Today, still an introvert — people tire me — but one who is functional in social situations.

Ryan, I think we're missing part of your first sentence there. I think I get what you're saying, though, and I agree that it's fair game to put the game-related lessons in with the game. I've learned a bit about Internet discourse by playing Halo with strangers, even though that's not strictly what that game's about. The gamerscore I get for capping Covenant grunts has mostly taught me things about game design, which is work-related, and so maybe I can't separate the real-life achievements so easily from my real life. Hmmm.
Like you, though, playing RPGs with people I hardly know (or have just met) has brought with it some real-life achievements, including new friendships, public-speaking skills, and work. But that brings us back to the exception of playing for pay again. 'Round and 'round I go.

An Origins Award?
My English students tend to be impressed when I pull my books off the shelf to show them, as well. I don't usually get past the first couple.
But then, what use is money? I'd want to argue that games (and novels, and films, and so on) are aspects of what life is for, so you aren't wasting your time gaming, you're wasting your time if you work a lot and don't game. (Simplifying massively, of course.)

Games are aspects of what life is for.
There, now you can quote it without all the brackets and ellipses.
