Three brothers from Idaho – Taylor, Brooks, and Tanner Dame – are behind Proof Eyewear, a line of wood framed sustainable eyewear. The idea came about in 2010 when Brooks was trying to make a ski pole out of a stalk of bamboo. The ski pole didn't work but the seed for wooden eyeglasses and sunglasses was planted. The Dame brothers pitched Proof Eyewear on Shark Tank in 2013. They received two offers but they weren't willing to give up that much equity.
[Shark Tank Quiz — Think You Know Your Sharks?]
Since their appearance on Shark Tank, the Dame brothers have opened a retail store in Boise and have extended the line to include accessories including a $20 wooden wallet. It holds about 4 to 6 cards and some cash. Buyer beware: Don't sit on it!

1828 Spotlight: Meaghan Banks
The 1828 Project is one of our signature programs at IndyHub and each year it's full of incredible leaders between the ages of 18 and 28. Meaghan is a part of 1828's Class VI. We sent her some questions. She responded. Keep reading to learn more about Meaghan!
How do you typically spend your days?
I spend my days at Bankers Life Fieldhouse – I am a Premium Experience Manager and work mainly with our Sells Group Loft Members. Sells Group Loft is a 104-Member Loft located on the Club level and houses 26 four person suites.
Where did you grow up?
I was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Where is your favorite Indy spot?
This is a hard one because I have so many favorites! A few of the places (mainly restaurants) that I frequent on a fairly regular basis include: Taste, Public Greens, Maxine's Chicken and Waffles, and Bakersfield.
How do you typically travel around the city?
Usually by car.
If you could have coffee with anyone, living or not, who would it be and why? (Bonus points for which Indy coffee joint you'd take them to)
If I could have coffee with anyone (does a couple count?), I would probably choose our former President Obama and his beautiful wife, Michelle Obama. I would take them to Tea's Me Café, which is now owned by former Fever star player and Olympian, Tamika Catchings.
Thinking forward to the next 5 years in Indy, what are you most excited about for the future?
There is a lot to be excited about over the next 5 years – the possibility of hosting an All Star Game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse is pretty high on the list! [Editor's note: Say whaaat?! Super cool.]
If you won the lottery, what would you do with your winnings?
If I won the lottery I would put half of the winnings in savings, and utilize the other half to: tithe, travel, donate to local organizations of interest and pay off student loans.
Would you rather visit the world 100 years in the past or 100 in the future and why?
I would rather visit the world 100 years in the past – based on history, you would already know what to expect. Whereas, going into the future, you don't know what's to come.
What is your favorite family tradition?
My favorite family tradition is putting up the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.

Alastair Cook praised the 'Hampshire effect' as England returned to winning ways at last.
The England skipper led his side to a convincing 266-run success over India to square the series 1-1 as Moeen Ali (six for 67) took the final wicket to huge roars.
With a crowd of around 10,000, including a huge walk-up figure of approximately 7,000 for the final day's play – there was a cracking atmosphere as England searched for the six wickets they required.
And they didn't have to wait long to savour the feeling of an England win as they wrapped it up just before lunch on the final day.
A delighted Cook, who was roared on by supporters in the face of a some fierce recent criticism, was thankful to the club and the paying public who played their part in the win.
Cook said: 'The crowd for the whole week have been fantastic for all of us as an England side.
'I thought the whole week at the Ageas Bowl – everyone including the groundsman and Rod Bransgrove – have been brilliant.
'I did feel that affection towards me – it was slightly strange but a nice feeling. I actually felt it walking out to bat.
'Then I have never experienced a standing ovation for 40 not out at lunch.
'Gaz (Ballance) made a joke and said "I doubt you would get that at Headingley".
'It's been a great week for us as an England team.'
England are now unbeaten in two Test matches at the venue – after the rain-affected draw with Sri Lanka in 2011.
And chairman Bransgrove has made no secret of his desire to bring an Ashes Test to the ground.
If the decision is made on what suits the England team best, it should be a no-brainer.
A good batting pitch also offered plenty of interest for the seam bowlers and it deteriorated enough on the final two days to bring the spinners into play.
Perhaps the only downside were some disappointing attendance figures.
After going close to the 18,000 sell-out on day one that had dipped to around 5,000 on day four before prices were slashed – with kids for a quid – for what most thought would be a shortened final day's play.
The Sunday start will not have done many favours in terms of boosting numbers and the club officials were still satisifed with the end result.
Cook, meanwhile, felt his England side had recaptured some of their old ruthlessness as they got themselves into a commanding position in the game and never looked back.
He said: 'We were relentless and we never let India off the hook.
'It takes a lot of skill and determination to do that. It was very impressive.
'Now the challenge is whether we can repeat that at Old Trafford.
'We played to our potential. Over the summer, we have shown it for two sessions out of three.
'But in this game, we have managed to keep that pressure on, whether we are bowling or batting.
'If you get 570 in the first innings, you set up the game.
'Scoreboard pressure played a huge part and we had as good a game as you can have.
'It helps when the senior players step up.
'But from one to 11, we performed really well.'

The blond boys can't get enough of each other as the saliva runs down Alex's thick long shaft as he pulls Kamyk's head further down each time as Alex gets hotter and hornier and dives on Kamyk's own stiff dick, letting us see his slim smooth pale body lying back and letting the hung top get ready to fuck him hard! Flipping Kamyk over and placing his huge dick right against his smooth hole, he gets the horny bottom twink to push back and take that dick as far as he can go! Once at his limit, Alex holds onto his bottom boy and ploughs him deeper and harder, getting that ass used to such a big dick inside him! Picking him up and twisting and turning and almost breaking the bed, let alone his ass, Alex jerks himself over Kamyk, leaving the well fucked boy covered in cum!

Come see us at NAMM #5740!!!
Hi Daisy Rock Guitars, please check out "The Warning", a Mexican Rockband formed by three young sisters. The band started in 2013, when their members were just 9, 11 and 13 years old. in 2014 their cover version of Metallica's Enter Sandman took the internet by storm by going viral on facebook and YouTube several times around the globe with over 60 million view until now. In the following, they were invited to Ellen DeGeneres' talk show, attended the Berklee college of music and one of their original songs got featured in the video game Rock Band 4. In 2017 they have released their debut album XXI Century Blood independently and played lots of concerts including big open-air festivals and opened for Def Leppard twice. We, their fans, would like to see them do this again, so we have set up a petition in order to make Def Leppard's management to offer them another opening slot, this time for a larger tour and maybe even in the US. Please take the time to check this petition and if you agree, that these youngsters have deserved a chance in the the business, please sign and maybe share on your site. Thank you so much for your time! Kindest regards, Manni

text: Dave T 6,591 Report post Posted May 16, 2013 We'd best agree to disagree here, bottom SL club Castleford are skint, bottom EPL club QPR went out and spent tens of millions on players to try to avoid relegation. Soccer has millionaires backing championship clubs and many clubs outside the EPL have the ability to attract 30,000 crowds plus. If Cas were relegated this year Sadler suggests it would destroy them. In contrast QPR will be spending millions to get back into the EPL. its all relative though. They have millionaires who cant afford to put enough money in to make them succesful, just like our lower clubs have people who are wealthy but not enough to make them a top team.

During the Spring 2001 Intel Developer Forum (IDF), Intel presented their case for replacing the PCI bus and various internal chip interconnects with a new Third Generation I/O, or 3GIO technology. According to Intel, this 3GIO technology would take us through the next decade, and work over a variety of physical media, from copper to optical to whatever. Some of us witnessing the announcement first-hand scoffed at Intel's claim of substantial industry support by Fall IDF 2001, just six months away.
Intel proved us wrong: things gelled quickly and the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI-SIG) approved the Arapahoe standard (another codename for 3GIO) in early August 2001. Intel and its Arapahoe Working Group partners, at the time including Compaq, Dell, IBM, and Microsoft, went on the attack, garnering further industry support. By the end of August, AMD and 21 other companies had joined the group all before Intel's Fall IDF deadline.
Intel and the PCI-SIG's crowning achievement was adding AMD (the champions of HyperTransport) to the new group. Earlier, Intel had accused HyperTransport of lacking enough advanced features to take us far into the future. AMD quickly cleared the air, showing how HyperTransport and 3GIO could effectively coexist in the same system, and soon presented a longer term, more feature-rich and higher-speed roadmap for HyperTransport technology.
By April 2002, the PCI-SIG and Arapahoe Work Group finished the 3GIO draft specification, formally renaming it "PCI Express". Analysts criticized the name as being too close to PCI-X 1.0/2.0, the server/workstation interconnects, yet the PCI-SIG didn't consider it a serious obstacle. Some of us are still skeptical.
On July 23, 2002, the PCI-SIG's board of directors approved the 1.0 version of the PCI Express spec. ExtremeTech has obtained copies of both the main PCI Express 1.0 spec and the companion PCI Express Card Electromechanical Spec, version 1.0. At $475 for non-PCI-SIG members, most of you probably won't have access to the spec but we'll give you much of what you need to know here. If you want to peruse the TOC, we've cut it out and posted it in the PCI Express Base Specification Revision 1.0 Index section.
PCI Express chipsets and graphics chips aren't expected to start surfacing until late-2003, with systems shipping around mid-2004, but now is the time to get a handle on how PCI Express works and how your system purchases or build decisions may be affected in the not too distant future.

Nigeria seem to be good for Nothing.
Bad governance
Bad image
Bad publicity
Bad citizen's co-existence
Bad economy
Bad infrastructures
Bad sports administration amd performance
Bad reputation
Everything seem to be wrong with Nigeria. My question is what can a Nigerian use to brag to other nationalities? I need to know, because I used to use soccer, but now that kids from Ghana can beat our senior national team players, I can no more claim that our National team is good.

I have wanted to make another peanut butter cookie for you that would be gluten free, since our first PB cookie has been a huge hit. The problem is peanut butter does have a lot of fat. I needed to cut the fat to be able to put this recipe up on Skinny Sweets Daily.
I have used reduced fat peanut butter in other recipes, so I figured why not try it in this recipe as well. So, by cutting the amount of regular peanut butter and using the reduced, cutting out flour completely and cutting down on the sugar, it all worked out. I was very pleased with the finished product and so was my family. I hope you all love these as much as we do. They literally melt in your mouth. Oh, by the way, they are also low carb, low sugar too!
Nutrition: calories 69, fat 3.7, carbs 7.9, fiber .8 g, sugars 6 g, sodium 54 mg, protein 2.2 g
- 1/2 cup regular peanut butter, chunky style, spray the measuring cup with cooking spray for easy removal. Do this for both peanut butters.
- 1/2 cup reduced fat peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together all the ingredients.
- Now with a hand held mixer, mix up until all is combined. Do this on low to medium speed.
- Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place 12 on each cookie sheet.
- Press down with the tines of a fork that you sprayed with cooking spray.
- Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes at the most. You don't want to over bake them. Turn the pan around after 4 minutes and check the cookies at 8 minutes. They should puff up just a little and be very lightly browned.
**Enjoy with a cold cup of skim milk. 🙂

A boutique entry-level amp that offers great value for money
Written by sp3llv3xit
Published Mar 30, 2014
- 3.5/5,
Pros - Dynamic, vigorous mids that pairs well with sub-100 ohms cans
Cons - Loose bass, small soundstage
Project Palaios IONA (Rosewood)
It's infinitely difficult to judge sources without qualifications. Come to think of it, everything becomes relative to something else when the assessment involves terms like "better than" and "lesser than". Take the case of the new Project Palaios Iona portable amplifier. I have been very fortunate to receive a loaner unit with a Black Cow interconnect courtesy of Mr. Wong Kwan Wae of Singapore. Both have been with me for a week before any appreciative or critical thought was allowed to congeal into judgments that I am now struggling to transmit to my laptop as comprehensible words.
Encased in cured and finely sanded Rosewood, the Iona couldn't scream any louder its desire to be different. In a world of metal enclosures, Iona sticks out like a Caucasian in the streets of Praetoria. Measuring 3.5 inches x 2.13 inches x 1 inch (length, width, thickness), the amplifier looks thick but is a joy to hold. I've heard of people complaining about the smooth metal surfaces of portable amps being too slippery in hand, the Iona's cured but unpainted wood case provides plenty of grip. The build and finish may hint of custom DIY but the feel is solid and smooth.
Because only one side holds all the ports and knob, there's no mistaking which side is the front and which is the rear. Topside up, the rightmost control is the volume pot; the middle 3.5mm jack is the headphone out terminal while the leftmost 3.5mm port is the audio line-in. There is no dedicated power on button. Turning the volume knob clockwise powers on the amp with the blue LED indicator sitting flush between the two 3.5mm jacks.
At the rear is a hinged battery door that is held shut (rather weakly) by two steel pins and a magnet. Lifting the door reveals a connector for a 9v battery and the internal gut of the Iona. Based on my one-week of usage, the 9v Alkaline Energizer battery lasted me around 17 hours before the blue indicator light started to flicker and the volume weakened.
During the week that I had the Iona, I was also given the opportunity to borrow Ajay Santos' Apex Glacier for comparison. Both the Glacier and the Iona are warm-sounding amps but the latter sounded about two or three notches closer to the neutral or flat frequency amplification than the Apex. I had the feeling that the Apex was tuned to have a bell-shaped frequency response curve while the Iona had a near-flat V.
That said, Iona is undeniably warm. Now I am of the opinion that whenever people speak of warmth they refer to that bit of fuzzy thickness in the mids and mid-bass regions. Mid-bass looseness is also quite prominent in the Iona as that was the first thing that struck me when I plugged in my AKG-K3003, driven by my AK100. I tried pairing it with the Yamaha EPH-100 but found the inherent mid-bass bloat of the Yamaha was given even more push. The same effect can be heard on the VSonic VS01 but the mids sounded fuller than when paired with the FiiO E17. The Black Cow interconnect that it came with was quite good in pushing out the mids while keeping the treble smooth. It sounded a bit like the mid-centric Van Den Hul sans the penchant for sibilance.
Over the course of a week, I have tried to use the Iona with the following:
VSonic VS01
Beyerdynamic DT 1350
Beyerdynamic DT 770 LE
Sennheiser HD 800
Yamaha EPH-100
Given my preference for clarity and detail, the tandem upon which this review is based was the AK100 + Iona + AKG-K3003. Sub-bass was tight if only a bit wanting in both quantity and slam. Mid-bass bloomed rather loosely giving that initial impression of bottom heft and warmth. Mids and vocals were the areas where the Iona did its magic. Not nearly as thick and forward sounding as the Glacier, this woody baby gave out textured and resolving push that makes my K3003 lose a bit of that metallic zing, rendering them analog-like. Bee Gees' "Alone" with its almost falsetto vocals came off fuller than straight out of the Astell & Kern dap.
Generally speaking, I find it sounds closer to the iBasso D42 which costs twice its price than to a FiiO E17. In its pairing with the DT1350 it shares with the D42 the same superb separation but with a reduced soundstage. Treble air is also a bit lacking but otherwise, I find the Iona's tonality more akin to iBasso's than to FiiO's. In contrast, my DT1350 enjoyed has harder-hitting bass when driven by the E17. Please understand my hesitation in employing the term "lush" in describing how the vocals are presented through the Iona. There are just so much body and details that may be ignorantly lost in that oft-repeated adjective that I loath to use it here.
I'd rather temporarily abduct and deploy the terms vigorous and dynamic if only to stay away from the much-abused one-term-descriptions. However, the Palaios Iona is, at the end of the day, a rather midcentric amplifier. Its midrange is vigorously more dynamic than FiiO's and iBasso's. Each belting voice is made more forceful and visceral by the contrast of how subtly and nuanced it can make a low guttural hum. There's a drawback though to having a soundstage of that size. Midrange presentation often sounds a bit congested.
If only I can end this review at where it shines the brightest, the Iona would be given at least four stars out of five. Despite tolerable treble roll-off starting at around 12 kHz, it was the audible scatter at the tail end of cymbal hit that really marked down what would have been a great score for this wood amp. High hats, cymbals and on occasions, even high-pitched piano sounded as welcoming as the shrieks of a petulant child. Oh no, it is not sibilant. This amp operates nowhere near that neighborhood. In fact, it is one of the only two amps that I have tried with the K3003 that didn't require the AK100 to be EQ'd. It is that smooth.
Aye, smooth save for the faintly-audible scattering in the decay of trebles. My co-admin Frances Haw, M.D. suggested this line: "It is the tailend of a decay that refuses to go gracefully into the good night." I have tried using the Iona with Sony Walkman's new flagship, NW-ZX1, and got the same result. Also paired it with the iBasso DX50 and found that to be present as well. It is not obvious but if you listen closely, you hear it. A friend who has only recently started in this hobby gave it a listen. He didn't notice it until I pointed it out to him.
Regardless of the qualifications, the ultimate end of any review or assessment is to find its place in the dichotomy of binary human judgment. 1s and 0s. Black or white. Good or bad. Buy or pass. This is where a frame of reference becomes invaluable. Compared to other products in the entry-level segment, this amp has the following advantages:
- Wood case
- User-replaceable battery
- Lightweight
How does it scale in the value-for-money meter? At US $ 125.00 (excluding battery, shipping and handling), the Iona shoots off the scale and should be considered a better buy than most entry-level portable amplifiers.
Decently priced neutral amp
Written by AnakChan
Published Dec 26, 2013
- 3.0/5,
Pros - Well priced, neutral sounding
Cons - 9V battery, average/small soundstage, no limiter for voltage input
I've had the privilege of Charles Wong send me this prototype amp a few months back but didn't get a chance to listen to it until recently. Charles worked on this particular unit himself so it is still very much a prototype unit that I have in my hands. There were a few issues with the unit but since it's prototype, I won't dwell on that.
Overall, the unit is quite blocky due to the 9V battery it houses and the wooden case does have some thickness to it. The actual circuit board inside is actually quite small. Operation is quite simple, only a volume pot that acts as a off/on switch too. No gain switch option either. I did encounter an issue that any source with a "high voltage out" seems to introduce distortion in the amp. Therefore sources such as the HM-901 line out is too powerful for this amp. However other DAP/DACs (AK120, VentureCraft DD) I've tried seem to be fine.
The sound of the amp is actually neutral with a slight treble bias. It's actually quite a reasonable amp to use if one wants to "cleanse their sonic palate" in preparation for critical listening of other amps. The soundstage is somewhat smaller than what I'm used to but at the same time I don't really hear congestion. It's price of $200, it's actually reasonable for what it delivers.
where is the thread for this :| ?
Billy has included a Palaios amp with the AX60 demo. Also peeked at the circuit and similar comments re size and 9v battery. I likewise also suspected driving it with anything more powerful than clip+ might make it start distorting since it'll start clipping somewhere but haven't tried it.
It measures well, and sounds overall neutral to me. The low output impedance is a must and a win for the amp. I'd be interested to see how it does with higher impedance load for the measurements
and find out more what the load and power output were for the one shown on their site (it might be there I'm just not seeing it). (among other things to see how well it handles higher
impedance,lower spl headphones)
The production versions (laquerred) do look pretty as well and it looks like the door battery holds better. If I had a DAP I really liked feature wise, but had impedance problems, or wanted to drive larger headphones I'd probably buy one. It sound good with my GMP450 pro (300 ohm) and for most song the volume dial is < 1/2. (driven off a clip+ at full volume). I don't hear
any odd changes to the sound of GMP450 so that's great as well.
I think they could use a different knob and in/out sockets (aethetics wise)
Personally I prefer Li-Ion + charger port, not 9v batteries and battery door. That said the amp opens and the battery slides out easily enough (on some amps you have to fiddle with it a lot and nearly snap the power wires off the amp before you can change it and need to carry screwdrivers or pliers
Price wise, I'm not too sure...svyr, Jan 27, 2014

Great Sounding Wooden Amp
Written by lin0003
Published Dec 19, 2013
- 4.0/5,
Pros - Bass, Midrange, Separation, Looks Great, Hand Made
Cons - No Charging Circuit, Soundstage
From the moment Charles told me about the new project that he was working on, "Project Palaios", I was intrigued. A wooden amp? That's certainly not what you hear everyday and from the pictures that he put up on the website, all 3 colours of the amp looks amazing. It just so happened that I was going to Hong Kong around the time the Palaios was released so I decided to meet up with Charles and buy one off him. I think that the Palaios amp is a model from his new company called SQD Tech which he founded after he left Rhapsodio. I think that they primarily make amps and cables.
I have always been an IEM lover but I have never really been into amps and the Palaios Iona is the first higher end amp that I have owned but certainly not the first that I have tried. Personally, I never liked the hassle of stacking a DAP and a player together and charging 2 things instead of one, but upon demoing at the Noisy Motel, I was instantly hooked. It was different from all the other amps that I even preferred it over the Tralucent T1, which although technically better, was missing that excitement that the Palaios had.
These were burned in for 100 hours and a few minor changes were detected; whether the changes were truly mechanical or psychological is for you to decide. The main difference was that the soundstage opened up a bit and the separation was slightly improved.
**Disclaimer** I am in no way affiliated with Charles' company and I was offered a discount in return for an honest, unbiased review.
Testing Gear
Although some people don't think that DACs in portable players make a lot of difference, I hear substantial differences between lower and higher end sources. The majority of my listening was done through the line out of my iBasso DX50, which IMO is superb for its price, via a DIY ALO copper interconnect that Charles made. The IEM I used was my UM Miracle that I now know so well and my Beat Audio Titan silver cable. I also tested it on my iPod Nano 3rd Generation and a Dunu DN-1000. I thought that the DX50 really made the sound much more lively and enjoyable and that the Palaios really shone with that combo. The stack is massive though… Also, I found that using a better IEM really brings out the potential in the Palaios and as always, you should upgrade your headphone before your amp and source.
Build Quality & Design
Honestly, the finish on the Palaios is impeccable and there were no flaws in the wood that I could find anywhere, which is very impressive considering that SQD Tech isn't a huge company. The only gripe I have is that the P logo on mine is put on backwards so it's only a P if you use the amp upside down, but I hardly ever notice it anyway so it's no big deal. The wood is very smooth, but still has that natural texture to it and it seems quite sturdy, but I feel like it would scratch rather easily so I have to be extra careful with this. Overall, the build quality is extremely impressive.
Personally, I love the look of the Palaios, but I have never really thought that wood is very practical due to how easy it scratches. One annoying thing is that the input and output jacks are in the wrong places. Usually, the input is in the middle and the output on the side, but it's the other way around on the Palaios. Not really an issue for me, but it can be bothersome if you are used to other amps and I can see some plugs being a bit of a hassle.
The battery doors on the previous demo models have a latch, but the (final?) one that I have slides out but has 3 magnets to reduce the chance of the door falling out. Despite this, it has still fallen out a few times and I feel like it is a bit too easy to move it. I prefer the swivel design more. Also, this amp doesn't come with any settings like other amps like gain, boost etc, but I don't really care because I never really use those anyway and I like the simplicity of the Palaios.
The wheel turns very smoothly, but it is too easy to accidentally nudge and turn up the volume. From what I hear, Charles is working on a rubber ring to put under the volume knob to make it harder to accidentally change the volume. Another thing I dislike is that it doesn't have a charging circuit, so you have to take the 9V battery out to charge it every time it runs out of battery. Other than those few quirks, the design is actually rather good.
Measurements & Impedance
Recently Charles published the measurements and there is one thing that I would like to mention.
Since there is no battery included, the battery life is obviously going to be different with batteries with different capacities. The 20 hours stated battery life is with a battery around 500MAH so if you use a 250MAH battery then the battery would be closer to 10 hours.
Also, if the impedance is indeed accurate, then I must say that I am extremely impressed. Really, anything under 1ohm is good enough, but the crazily low impedance of the Palaios should be able to drive the lowest impedance IEMs without a problem.
- Input: 3.5mm TRS socket
- Output: 3.5mm TRS socket
- Power: 9V battery (not included)
- Battery life: 20Hr
- THD @ 1kHz: < 0.0005%
- SNR @ 1kHz: > 86dB
- Voltage Gain: 2.5x
- Output swing: > ±4V
- Output current: 35mA
- Output impedance 0.00862ohm
Sound Quality
Of course, no matter how good a piece of equipment is built, looks or how good the specs are, it all amounts to nothing if it doesn't sound good. The sound section will be broken down into 3 main parts, the bass, midrange and the treble.
When I first heard the Palaios, my first thought was that the bass was very nice and solid with good impact. However, it didn't have that slightly bloated bass that a few of the Fiios that I have tried do. The bass is perhaps a bit boosted, but it does not sound bloated at all whatsoever. I find that the detail level is a good step up from the internal amp in my DX50. Bass guitars sound really nice coming from the Palaios and I feel like drum beats have the perfect weight and punch to them as well as being very controlled. However, some people do enjoy that boosted bass that other companies like Fiio offer and if you are one of those people, the Palaios is definitely not for you. Overall, the bass is very pleasant, having good impact as well as retaining impressive control.
IMO, here is where the Palaios does its magic. As other people have posted, the midrange is rather lush and has that unique texture to the vocals which I happen to like a lot. Vocals have this slightly aggressive feeling to them which makes for a wonderful pairing with my UM Miracles. Vocal clarity is exceptional and you can hear the singer breathe. They seem to have this sharp tone that I feel makes vocals clearer and overall more pleasant, but they are not cold at all. I would say that the midrange is very liquid sounding and lush, but you really should listen to it if you get a chance. Instruments sound very natural and I feel like the entire midrange is just a tad forward. I certainly enjoyed the midrange very much.
When I first listened to this amp, I was under the impression that the treble was perhaps a little rolled off, but this is definitely not the case. After more listening, I realised that because the midrange is slightly forward and the bass hits hard, the rather flat treble seem to be rolled off, which it's not. The treble has no noticeable peaks or dips which I appreciate. Just because the treble is slightly behind the bass and midrange doesn't mean that it doesn't still shine. Cymbals have a very realistic decay and are very detailed, but are not sibilant where a track isn't. It also has very good extension. I would call the treble rather smooth with no unwanted emphasis.
Soundstage & Imaging
I'm afraid the soundstage is the one area that I feel that the Palaios is weak in. Other similarly priced amps such as the Tralucent T1 and the JDS C5 both have a larger soundstage and in result, sound more open. The Palaios does sound a tiny bit closed in comparison but it's not too bad.
Imaging is rather good and to my relief, instruments didn't all seem cramped together and hard to distinguish. I feel like the internal amp on the DX50 is very nice, but perhaps a little weak and lacking compared to better amps and this really shows with the Palaios. The imaging was a clear step up from the built in amp.
Separation, Detail & Clarity
I feel like one of the most important things that an amp needs is good separation, which makes for a much better listening experience. To be honest, I was quite surprised by how good the Palaios' instrument separation was. It hardly ever got congested with my Miracles and for me that is god enough.
Vocal separation was just as good as instrument separation and on the songs that I tested it on, it did very well indeed.
The Palaios didn't strike me as a detailed amp upon the first listen, but more of a relaxed sounding amp with which you can just sit back and enjoy the music without analysing it. After some more listening, it is actually rather detailed, but it doesn't smack you in the face with it like other amps which emphasize the treble to makes it sound more detailed and to some people, exciting when people first hear it.
I felt that clarity was good on the Palaios, but the mids were a touch warm. Personally I would have preferred the mids to be a bit cooler, but I really love the midrange on the Palaios.
If you have read the whole review, you should have a good idea of the sound signatuire of the Palaios, but if you haven't then I'll sum it up for you:
The bass is very neutral, but a bit heavy; the mids are slightly warm and a tad forward and aggressive; finally the treble is very flat, but lags behind the bass and midrange making it seem like it is a bit rolled off.
Anyway, I do feel like the Palaios is very natural sounding because it doesn't emphasize any part of the spectrum too much and has this realistic feel about it. If you are looking for an amp that is basically "wire with gain" such as the O2 (I actually think it's a bit bass light but I didn't have long to audition it) then I'm afraid that the Palaios isn't quite going to cut it. It has a very slight emphasis on the bass and mids, but I wouldn't call it coloured (like some Fiio models) by any means.
Here we are at the end of this review and if you were considering buying this amp, you are probably still unsure. My advice is that if you dig the IMO beautiful wood finish and like a neutral yet not entirely flat sound as well as the lovely midrange, get it. As White Lotus said, it really is like a luxury sedan without all the fancy gadgets. If you need a lot of functions then this amp is definitely not for you, it's the most basic amp that I've ever come across. Now, if you are looking for an amp in this price range you are probably considering the T1, C5 and perhaps even the UH6S MKII. I haven't heard the Leckerton so I can't comment, but between the T1, C5 and Palaios, the T1 is probably the most technically proficient, the C5 with the most features, but I still like the Palaios the most.
Like always, I hope this review has helped and thanks again to Charles from SQD Tech. All pics were from Gogle Images, didn't have time to take any.

Thanks for the information. I'll see if a US distributor becomes available. If not, I'll reach out to Noisymotel.Buddhahacker, Dec 20, 2013
I broke down and purchased one from Noisymotel. Their service was great! After I've had time to burn it in I will write a review. My initial thoughts is that it sounds good. Maybe a bit warm but that's okay by me.Buddhahacker, Jan 26, 2014

A wooden portable amp? The Project Palaios: Iona.
Written by White Lotus
Published Nov 17, 2013
- 5.0/5,
Pros - Build quality, low impedance, great with IEMs, enough power to drive demanding cans, comes in different varieties of wood, replaceable battery
Cons - 9V battery only, input/output plugs are in the (arguably) incorrect spot.
I'm a production manager, but focus mostly on sound engineering and installations. I install and tune a lot of P.A equipment, and also mix live acts. My work environments consist mainly of:
- live venues,
- concert halls,
- bars
- nightclubs.
- festivals
- events
I've taken a huge liking to headphones - IEM's in particular. I like the idea of having my own personal PA system that I can take with me anywhere. With Rockbox being in such advanced stages, and such great low-impedance portable amps coming out, you can really seem to get any sound signature you wish out of a portable rig.
That being said, things in the portable audio realm are getting a little "interesting" these days. Portable DAC units and amplifiers are more popular now, than they have ever been. As technology gets smaller, portable audio units are also on the rise in terms of popularity.
It starts off so innocently, just a little cheap amplifier to add to your little iPod nano. Then you add a line out cable. Then you might consider an upgrade to a higher capacity or newer iPod. Time passes, and you start thinking about different cables, different amplifiers, and by the time you know it, you are carrying around a brick of equipment.
Here is what I watched "Top Gear" on, last night. Some might call this ridiculous:
Galaxy S4, with a custom rom, Fiio DAC, JDS amp, custom cable, and a pair of the infamous Westone 3.
Amplifiers, DACs, cables, gain, boosts, cuts, line out, optical, and now even some new units have charging capabilities for mobile phones. It's a very exciting time to be a "portable audiophile", especially if you are into gadgets. But where does it end?
Another example of a ridiculous portable set-up: My Sony MiniDisc player.
- Battery pack.
- Custom braided 3.5 cable
- C&C BOX+ Amplifier
- HiSoundAudio "LIVING" earbuds
And another: the infamous iMod.
- 80GB iMod
- Custom LOD cable (Blackgate capacitors built in)
- JDS C421 (with a 2227 OP-amp)
- Westone EPIC clear cable
- Westone ES3X, re-shelledby Unique Melody
- iPod Dock
But sometimes I wonder - is the simplest option the best? Sometimes I just can't be bothered with all the fuss.
The gadget madness ends here. It's time for simplicity to take control.
Enter, the Project Palaios: Iona.
Build quality:
I received this unit on a tour. It appears that one of the female connector screw rings has fallen off, but I have plenty of these at my workbench, and will be replacing it before moving it on.
The unit takes a 9v battery, which does add a little to the weight, but makes up for it with its versatility. Having an amp run out of battery whilst on-the-move (especially at an airport) is the worst, but it seems that Palaios have found a good solution for this.
The battery door has a soft magnetic slip that keeps the door snugly fit. The wood is crafted and finished nicely. I believe there are different models of wood available, all available with different finishes. As this is an early/demo model, There may be changes to the final product.
It feels solid, there was no noise from the pot, it turns well, and smoothly.
It doesn't physically line up perfectly with an iPod classic like some of the newer Fiio units do – if that matters to you.
It's also worth noting at this point, that the "input" and "output" sections are definitely not in the most ergonomic positions. The inside female port is actually the headphone plug, and the outside one is the input. This isn't ideal for 90 degree connectors on IEMs or other headphones.
There are NO adjustments on this unit. No gain, no bass boost, no charge port.. Nothing. More on that later.
My usual measurement equipment isn't available to me at this time, and I only have this amplifier for a few days. A real shame, as I feel that it would measure quite well, compared to the JDS and Fiio units that I also own.
I'd rather have no measurements, than poor measurements. Sorry guys. Feel free to break out the pitchforks.
For this review, I'll be comparing this unit to two other amps. The JDS C421 (2227 edition), and the Fiio E17.
Both the E17 and C421 will have all boost/cut/adjustments/gain set to "0".
The Palaios is a very low impedance unit. It drives even the most sensitive IEMs without hiss. The analogue volume knob does well at low volumes – which is an area that the JDS C421 struggles with, with channel imbalance. It's very "even" and I can't hear any balance, crosstalk or separation issues.
On the other end of the scale, it's driving my 250 ohm Beyers at a decent volume, at just under "half" way. It's a decent amount of power, and I feel that it could handle some pretty strong headphones, should something step-up to the challenge.
At first, I was a little upset that the amp didn't have a gain switch – but hell, it doesn't NEED one. It drives beautifully either way. Low volume for IEMs, higher volume for bigger cans. Makes sense.
Strong, when called upon. No detectable bass roll-off, or mid-bass hump. I appreciate this, because other amps often accentuate these areas. It doesn't quite feel as accurate or as controlled as the C421, but holds up a lot better than the Fiio does. It effortlessly presents decent levels of "flat-bass" at either low OR high volumes, with either sensitive or power-hungry headphones. This is quite a good achievement, and is a warmly welcomed balance.
Compared to the JDS, the mids are a little more active. They don't feel aggressive, but the JDS feels a little laid-back by comparison. Vocals sound detailed, and lush. They really shine when used with IEMs, and the unit is pairing beautifully with my DT770s. This makes me wonder if the mids are even slightly pushed forward.
Far reaching, detailed, accurate. No piercing sibilance or treble problems. They sit well with Balanced armature drivers at low volumes. To my ears, they follow very closely behind the C421. I can't distinguish any particular problematic peaks.
Compared to the C421, it feels a little "shut-in". It might have some kind of cross-feed built in, but I can't be sure without measurements.
Overall opinion of sound:
Just thought I would share a funny thought with you on that note.
The JDS is tried and true, aesthetically pleasing, made in the U.S.A, measures well, and has all of the features and switches you would want on an amplifier.
It feels like a classic muscle car.
The Fiio, is made in China. It has more features than any portable unit that I've ever tried. It can be used as the perfect IEM DAC – Line out for my laptop (into another amp), it can be used as a stand-alone amp, it can be used as a DAC for my phone.. hell, it can even be plugged straight into an Xbox or PS3, for instant console headphone use.
It feels like a feature packed, cheap sedan.
The Palaios, on the other hand, has none of that. It doesn't have gain switches, it doesn't have bass boost, cross-feed options, DAC support, optical input, or anything like that.
It doesn't NEED it.
It's a beautiful amp. It's sound is some of the best I've heard in a portable amp.
It looks amazing.
It has a replaceable battery, that you could pick up from any service station, supermarket or electronics store.
It has amazing performance – it can be sweet and delicate for sensitive IEMs, but can punch well above it's weight with the heavy-hitting high-impedance cans.
To me, it feels like a luxury sedan. Automatic, looks great, feels great, and just works. The $220 pricetag fits this analogy as well.
Value for money:
If you've made it this far into the reivew, then you're probably pretty keen on the amp, and there's your answer.
A big thanks to Billy from Noisy motel for lending me the amp for review, it's currently on special, but usually goes for $220.
EDIT: A note from billy.

Nice done, I have a question. How much does it weight? In the pictures stacking with your iPod it looks really big and heavyDon Lehrer, Nov 17, 2013
it weights less than an ipod classic/video with battery... is very light without battery, indeedNLNH, Nov 18, 2013
Nice review! I got mine straight from Charles (NLNH) yesterday yesterday and the door slides out instead of swiveling and the finish is exactly the same as the demo one.
It sounds great!lin0003, Nov 25, 2013

The Charter Members were Rev, M.J. Aiken, Dr. J.F McCracken, Bert Brooks, Dan Hunt, Bill Fewster, Harry Cuff, Bill Jones, A.M Leng, Bill Ferris, Scott Laidlaw, Brock Mattice, H.A Deem, F.W. Crain, A.E Alexander and Charles Stallwood. The Branch ceased to function in 1932.
The returning veterans of World War 11 applied and received the original Charter in 1945, holding meetings again in the Parish Hall of All Saints, and shortly thereafter, moving to the Hagersville Armouries (now the Hagersville Community Centre). The aim of the revised Branch was to have their own building.
Honor and Remember
After two years of volunteer work and money raising, the members were able to purchase a building lot on Alma Street North in Hagersville from W.E (Bill) Jones in 1947. The foundation was dug with pick and shovel by the youthful members and the first turkey raffle was held on the gravel floor of the nearly completed building in 1947. On Thanksgiving weekend in 1948 the new home, located at 5 Alma Street North, was dedicated.
Branch No. 164 has had to enlarge the original building; it now has both a spacious club room and a catering hall. On March 12, 1974, it became Hagersville (Ontario No. 164) Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion due to a name change.,
The Ladies Auxiliary to Branch No. 164 is quite busy catering to birthdays, anniversaries and retirement parties. The hall is also used for Branch dances,. The Friendship Club (senior citizens) also hold a weekly get together in the hall and as well, weekly card parties are held on a regular basis. In addition, the hall is provided free of charge to a number charitable organizations without a meeting place.

Sabrina Chaw
"Sabrina passionately guides women to unleash their vitality and vibrancy, bringing out their courage, juice, and power… excavating their blocks, transforming them into love, and empowering them to live the innate gifts they yearn to live."
For most of her life, Sabrina suffered from a number of health-related problems such as asthma, allergies, bad digestion, eczema, migraines, weight gain, lethargy, and osteoporosis. This resulted in difficulty in breathing, severe limitation of activities, and prevented her from participating in anything that required exertion of much physical effort. Sabrina felt she was at the mercy of her body, not trusting it, and became afraid of the ways it seemed to be breaking down. This affected her relationships, her social life, and her career. The activities that brought joy in her life were often dampened by her fears and doubts about herself.
In her early 40's, through the application of various holistic modalities and spiritual pursuits, Sabrina slowly gained her life back. Her energy, weight, skin, digestion, and breathing were better than ever, and she developed a passion for dance, yoga, and nature, and tried various new adventures that challenged her.
However, something was missing. She found that she was in better "control" of her life, but she still was not happy. She was "doing the right things", but not seeing the results in her personal or professional life. She still had some of the same fears and ways of thinking that prevented her from living the life she deeply desired to live. In 2001, Sabrina initiated women's circles to form a community of women who longed to live a life that mattered…to live a life of openness, possibility, and love, etched in every crevice of their being. In 2003, Sabrina started to learn more about feminine practices such as dance, breath work, and Tantra, and apprenticed under David Deida, author of many books on intimacy, and for ten years, she co-led the women's portions of his workshops and intensives. Connecting with community, a Higher Source, and women's embodiment were key.
When Sabrina combined her newfound liberated heart with scientific nutritional practices, her life turned around and she became certified as a nutrition consultant. She felt a sense of ease, surrender, ecstasy, and joy that she had never felt before. She looked and felt younger than ever. Her path through perimenopause and menopause has brought her a wisdom that was hard-earned and profound. She dedicated the next 13 years to supporting women to have the same: To discover their own pathway and power through the awakening of their Feminine core and spirit.
To this day, Sabrina has supported hundreds of women in embodying the truth and power of their feminine being, particularly women over 40. In her work with women, Sabrina uses her long-time experience in holistic health, nutritional biochemistry, Tantra, Vajrayana Buddhism, hatha yoga, Ayurveda, breathwork, David Deida, and somatic psychology, as the core of her work.
You don't have to earn your life…but you do have to claim your longing and liberate your heart into the SHE that lives in you. For your sake…for the world's sake.
Let us help you get there…

Stimson ready for Jackson fight
Mark Stimson is determined to keep Simeon Jackson at Gillingham and has warned off any potential suitors.
Last Updated: 15/12/08 3:36pm
Mark Stimson is determined to keep Simeon Jackson at Gillingham and has warned off any potential suitors.
Canadian striker Jackson joined Gillingham from Rushden & Diamonds in January for a fee of £150,000.
He scored his tenth goal of the season in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Barnet and Stimson does not want him to leave Priestfield in the New Year even if a big offer comes in.
Stimson said: "He's an international, 21 years of age, and he's got everything in front of him.
"The chairman might have a different view but personally I wouldn't take a million pounds for him.
"He's got at least another 10 goals in him between now and the end of the season and there aren't many players out there who can guarantee you that."
Meanwhile, Stimson has challenged Gary Mulligan to seize his chance to shine against Brentford this weekend.
Adam Miller will miss the match after being booked for the fifth time this season at Underhill.
Stimson said: "Unfortunately we'll miss Adam next week so hopefully Gary can stay fit this weekend and then he'll get an opportunity to start up front on Saturday."

In an exclusive interview with VOA, New Delhi's Times of India National Political Bureau special correspondent Mahua Chatterjee discusses the historical bill passed in India's upper house that reserves one-third of seats for women in the parliament of India.
On Tuesday, the upper house approved the measure with 186 of the chamber's 245 members voting for it. Only one lawmaker voted against it. Others boycotted the vote. The bill now goes to the lower house. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called the bill's upper house passage a "historic step" forward for women's rights. Mr. Singh presented the Women's Reservation Bill for a vote on Monday, but it was delayed after a heated debate.
Mahua Chatterjee discusses how this new step will be implemented in the parliament and the barriers that the government must overcome.

Hi, I'm Tanvi! Thank you so much for visiting my blog! A question I often get asked is, what is "the hathi?" Hathi means elephant in my language. The word hathi is part of my maiden name, now my middle name. Thus, the literal translation is: The Elephant Cooks. I currently live in Portland, Oregon with my husband, Srini, and our three rambunctious chickens. Srini is my full time recipe taste tester and provides me with unconditional support through all of my culinary victories and failures.
I was lucky to grow up eating some of the best Indian food in the world, courtesy of my amazing parents. I spent my childhood perched on the counter, watching my parents make one scrumptious thing after another. As I got older, I was a much more active and eager participant in the kitchen. When my parents started teaching me how to make Indian food, I was shocked at how straightforward many of the recipes were. Unbelievably complex flavors came from a few spices and some basic techniques! Thus, my aim with this blog is to introduce you, the reader, to Indian recipes you probably won't find in your local Indian restaurant and hopefully demystify Indian cooking and flavors in the process. I promise it isn't as overwhelming as it sounds! You don't even need that many spices to start with, and you might even have most of them in your pantry now. A good place to start is with my "How to Build an Indian Pantry" series.
In addition to Indian food, I also have a bit of a cookbook addiction (at last count, over 70!). I read them cover to cover like engrossing novels, and will definitely be sharing some of the dishes I cook from them. I also like flexing my creative muscles from time to time, and will be posting new recipes as well.
In my non-blogging life, I'm a pediatrician and sleep doctor. Due to my science background, I also have a keen interest in food science. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I hope to share some interesting food science tidbits from time to time. I received the absolutely incredible Modernist Cuisine at Home and am planning a new series on the blog exploring food science in more detail as I cook through the book. Stay tuned!
A note about links: Some of the links in my recipes are affiliate links meaning that I get a small amount of compensation if you click through or purchase. It's an almost negligible amount, but I appreciate the support!

Hotel Kolovare Zadar Reviews
1732 reviews
Hotel Kolovare Sep 06, 2008
After a long days drive leaving Albanian dust roads and the serpentine roads of Montenegro and southern Croatia we entered the wonderful two lane freeway just south of Split and finally had a chance to make some distance.
We drove until 1.30 am and started to look for a hotel. Since the motorway is architected in the mountains we had to leave for the coast to find the hotel. We took the first we could find.
Kolovare Hotel was a good 4 star hotel just at the coast. We got a nice room with the best king size bed we had on the whole Balkan trip. The bathroom was big and had a tub; which we hadn't seen for weeks down here, it was always showers.
It was a fairly large hotel and we had gotten a room over viewing to pool area.
All in all, a nice 4 star hotel. Highly prices but also very well situated

This weeks latest podcast is an interview with Melissa Coates, on the topic of Cortana Intelligence Suite.
From this weeks podcast:
The Cortana Intelligence Suite is actually a huge collection of services in Azure for the purposes of providing big data and analytical solutions. So the suite consists of: Azure data factory, data catalog, Azure SQL data warehouse, Azure data lake which is actually a composite of three services, azure machine learning, stream analytics, event hub, PowerBI, cognitive services, the bot framework, and finally the Cortana digital assistant like you just mentioned. So although they named the suite after Cortana, the digital assistant is just one small part. She originated as a character in Halo, as a smart artificial intelligence character that can learn and adapt. And then she was the inspiration for the digital assistant in Windows. And now this suite of tools is named after her because she symbolizes the contextualized intelligence they hope to achieve with the suite of tools.

Sunday nights on AMC
It was a relationship built on lives
that weren't real.
I could count the minutes we didn't speak
over the television.
Those minutes became a part of me.
Somewhere I'd like to think that island exists.
That someone will wake up to find that everything was one gigantic dream,
and we'll stop existing then and there.
Maybe somewhere there is some sideswiping afterlife,
some great cathedral.
For now,
The sheets are rolled down and the television on.
I'm drinking tap water, watching whatever is programmed for Sunday nights on AMC.
Someday I'll learn to love something real.
Until then, I'll live 22,
43 minutes at a time.

"Shocked" and "stunned" were the words colleagues and acquaintances of Lake Elsinore Mayor Brian Tisdale used to describe their reaction to the news he had been arrested earlier this week.
Sheriff's deputies detained Tisdale early Monday, June 20, at his home following what the mayor — in a public statement– termed "a dispute between my wife and I."
He was booked at Southwest Detention Center on misdemeanor counts of battery on a former companion and vandalism, after which he was released on bail.
"I'm absolutely floored that somebody like him would be in this predicament," said Tisdale supporter Chris Hyland. "He's a great father to his children and he's done a great job for the city of Lake Elsinore. I can't just see how this thing can happen to him."
Tisdale's wife filed for a restraining order Tuesday in an attempt to legally keep him from contacting her and their two children. The request was partially granted in a Hemet courthouse Wednesday, though the terms weren't immediately available. The Press-Enterprise routinely does not disclose the names of alleged victims in domestic violence cases.
A hearing has been set for July 13 on the request for a permanent restraining order.
"I know nothing about it," Tisdale said Wednesday of the court filing.
Tisdale was placed on administrative leave by his employer, County Supervisor Chuck Washington. On Tuesday night, the councilman released his statement indicating he would take a leave of absence from city affairs.
"This is completely a shock to us," Councilwoman Natasha Johnson said. "I'm just a little worried and nervous about what's going on. … He's always kept it very professional and not shared his personal life with the council."
Now in the second year of a second four-year term, Tisdale usually voted along with his four colleagues, who are unified on most issues.
"I'm absolutely stunned, and it's something I did not expect," said Councilman Steve Manos. "He's been a servant for the people of Lake Elsinore and he's a person that served honorably in the military."

Whether you choose "Apps for Everything but Compassion" (print, 5/7) or "The Shaky Moral Compass of Silicon Valley" (web, 5/2) as your favorite title, the message is clear: the reputation that wealthy tech workers have little empathy for the poor is based in reality.
It may be lack of awareness, or it may be the sense of entitlement and self-interest that studies have shown are associated with access to money. See, it isn't even their fault that they retreat from the poverty and homelessness of the Silicon Valley….but actually, as a nation, we ignore homeless folks, and it is only the shocking difference between poverty and google etc wealth that makes the apparent lack of compassion in Silicon Valley so glaring.
Obviously, as stated in the article by Nick Bolton, there are rich techies who do reach out to help, but many are stymied by the lack of technical solutions. (There are economic ones, but no one wants consider higher taxes, or ceilings on wealth.)
But a very interesting Silicon Valley company actually does have a technical solution, an app that addresses income volatility.
Income volatility – income swings, with money coming in irregularly- makes it very difficult for those living near the edge of survival and/or working at jobs that are seasonal or unpredictable to save money. While a person may make enough money over the year to cover costs, that money comes in a trickle or a flow, and there are often times when bills come due when the money isn't there…bills such as rent and food purchases. Debt and penalties begins to accrue, hopelessness sets in.
Even, a for-profit company, floats its clients during hard times, and banks their surplus during good times with an app that smooths out the ups and downs of their earnings and enablles them to avoid debt. It is described in "Want a Steady Income? There's an App for That," by Anand Garidharadas in the April 29th, 2015 NY Times.
Even was conceived of by 28 year old techie Jon Schlossberg, who was influenced by a `2013 Science paper, "Poverty Impedes Cognitive Function," a collaboration between behavioral psychologists and economists to examine why those without money seemed to act in ways that would only compound poverty. According to Garidharadas, the Science paper rejected "the left's structural theories, the right's theories about character- in favor of neuroscience," and explained that the complicated juggling that the poor must do to survive hampered the ability to focus.
Schlossberg partnered with entrepreneur Quinten Farmer, who brought in the idea of income volatility as a target to address poverty: Farmer recalled his own childhood, in which a divorce left he and his mother financially struggling. For a fee of $3 a week, those with volatile incomes are freed of the impossibility to pay debts with money that is not yet there, and hopefully, and that this can give them the psychological as well as physical space they need to solve problems.
As some reader comments mentioned, there are plenty of fundraisers and good works among techies in Silicon Valley: one reader mentioned Rippleworks, a non-profit that connects entrepreneurs in developing countries with Silicon Valley workers who mentor and give technical advice. It was clear from the comments that many people want to help, and don't know how. It was also clear that most people don't consider the deeper economic and social forces behind poverty, or behind their own successes, and that the moral compasses of the commenters were pretty darn shaky. Still, techie activists might be changing the culture.

Impacting Home Values Is the Real Estate Industry Heroes or Villains (Video Blog)
In this Video Blog this will be the beginning of discussion on how values are determined for your home. There are many factors involved in home valuation so please stay tuned for the second part of this series. In this episode I cover.
- Marketing remarks in the MLS
- Buyer reaction
- Importance of leaving proper descriptions and notes for the Appraisers
- Agent responsibility
In thinking about this topic, keep in mind that a rising tide raises all ships so the homes in average condition have more to gain if the homes in superior condition are no longer robbed of their true appraisal value. For those of us who have to deal with the "Bad Listing Photo of the day" hope of anyone taking initiative may seem far, but in the spirit of a positive attitude, discussion can help move an issue forward.
This discussion is in part an effort to raise the bar in the industry. You can follow some of the industry discussion taking place in real time on Twitter by following the hash tag #RTB.

Is Octomom Nadya Suleman the Next Vivid Girl?
Are we ever gonna get tired of the "Octomom"? I think she has really became a staple in daily pop culture, people just cant get enough of her. Well, if Steven Hirsh, President of Vivid Entertainment, gets his way then we might get to see more of her than anyone of us care to, well, except for all weird perv's that are far more messed up than she is.
According to TMZ, Steven Hirsh, you know, the President of Porn, is trying to buy Octomom's house from the current owner in order to save her and her children from being thrown out on the street, and he figures it might just sway her into working for him. Octomom owes $450,000 in past due payments and with no pliable income to support such a massive payment this may be her only out. Now, she was offered this deal back in May of last year in exchange for some "on screen action" and she turned down the offer, but this girl needs the money and she knows it, she has 14 kids and is single! If Steven Hirsh gets her in a film, it could quite possibly be the biggest selling porn ever made, and he knows it. And he is not going to give up without a fight.
Will Octomom ever star in her very own porn film? I don't know, but my fingers are crossed. I just have one question for everyone, Would you watch it? Or, better yet, would you admit to watching it?Tags: Nadya Suleman, Steven Hirsh, TMZ, vivid entertainment
