It's an interesting thing, this. A tweaky audiophile program that strips away all the junk your computer could be doing while playing back your digital audio files.
The idea is to give each file as good an environment for playback as possible, minimizing jitter and maximizing sound quality.
Well, OK. That could be cool.
The program itself is tiny, and lacks any significant user interface. That's the idea, of course. Your computer can be doing a lot while it's playing back audio files, and in the minds of the self-professed fanatical audiophiles at Jplay, these other processes can adversely affect sound quality.
From their website:
"In music, timing is everything. And in digital music reproduction doubly so: while producing bit-perfect output is easy, producing it at exact time required by digital formats (e.g. 32 bits every 22 microseconds for CD) is not. Why? Because while your PC may be really fast, it's also doing hundreds if not thousands other things at the same time it plays music. With so many things going on, do you trust it will always 'hit the beat' at just the right time? Programming optimizations in jplay are designed to minimize both software & hardware interruptions in order to make it 'easier' for PC to 'keep the rhythm.'"
Installing Jplay is simple, just click on the software. It doesn't even really install anything, just starts the program. If there's any configuration needed, it does it and asks for a computer reboot.
Jplay's interface is a Notepad-esque window with instructions and the few commands. No flashy GUI, you don't even get to use your mouse, at least not for this part.
The idea is you find the songs you want to play (WAV, AIFF or FLAC only), right-click and select Copy. This holds the files in RAM, eliminating the need for hard drive access during playback.
The real question is: can you hear a difference? With some WAV and FLAC files ready to go on the HTPC, I compared Jplay back and forth with iTunes and MediaMonkey (iTunes doesn't play FLAC).
It seems, first off, that Jplay is a few dB softer than iTunes and MM. That right there makes a direct comparison difficult. The other frustrating factor is whatever Jplay is doing, it locks out other playback devices. So you can play a track on iTunes, pause, then listen to the track in Jplay, but if you try to go back iTunes/MM won't play. So you have to restart the program and by that time any sonic memory you had is long gone.
So with these significant caveats, could I hear a difference? Well, it did seem the Jplay playback was a little smoother, perhaps a touch more revealing. Again, I'll openly admit this was no double-blind comparison. If I had to put a number on it, maybe 2-3% better. With my rig in my room, it did seem to sound a bit different, but as I said, given the difficulties in A/Bing the programs, this could be an observer-expectancy effect.
Jplay is going to appeal to a certain type of person, that hardcore audiophile that has his speaker cable on tiny stands and obsesses about bit-for-bit accuracy. For him, this software can soothe his mind a bit about all the crap computers are doing in the background during playback.
The price, though, is steep: 99 Euros, or about $130. That gets you free future upgrades, and personal support from the guys who created the software. Still, that seems a lot for what is, at best, a marginal improvement. Fortunately, you can download a free trial version and compare it for yourself.
Jplay is obviously not for everyone, nor does it intend to be. If you're the type of hardcore person this software is clearly aimed at, it's a free download to check out. If you're not the type of person this is clearly aimed at, I'm sure you've already stopped reading.
I'm just getting started with computer audio. This sounds very interesting, I always wondered how much all that other stuff a computer is doing in the background could affect the quality of playback. I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion that this is expensive. Yes it may be pricey as far as the actuall program, but what other piece of audio gear or accessory could you buy for $133? What are the alternatives? Buy a dedicated music streamer capable of delivering bit perfect audio from your computer music collection to you audio system? From what I've seen out there you could buy a computer and jplay for quite a bit less than the music servers being offered. Also there seems to be a way of using Jriver - a gui interfaced system of music cataloging and playback along with jplay (despite the names the companies are not related), maybe you could look into this and test it out.
After investing thousands in my speakers, preamp/dac, and amps this looks to me to be a relatively cheap was of delivering computer based music files to my system. A relatively moderate
but powerfull computer can be purchased for about $400, add jplay for $133 and you have a high end audiophile playback system. What kind of CD player can you buy for $533? and it still wouldn't be able to download and store thousands of songs, and you still have a computer that you can use when it's not in use for music playback.
Jplay will appeal to the gullible. Shame on S&V for such a shalllow article. Jplay was exposed as a scam in other forums, admitting among other things that the output is bit-identical to the sound they claim to improve from players like JRiver and Foobar2000. Jplay was also caught violating copyrights, and is under investigation for intellectual property theft. The only certain outcome is that buyers will soon need a new computer, because Jplay will create a thermal overload of your system by disabling so many critical (and non-sound impacting) operating system functions.
I'm not sure a discussion on Hydrogen Audio amounts to being "under investigation for IP theft" — you have some news you could link to of an official proceeding being launched?
And sure, JPlay may well be useless, but it's also not terribly helpful to say that those trying it out will be "certain" to need new hardware unless you have some evidence of that.
In any case, should we really be ashamed for posting something that says, quite guardedly "we tried this application — maybe we heard a difference; we're not sure — since you can try if for free, check it out" ?
Just to be clear, I am currently considering jPlay, and I have a lot of hardware and computer background. I've also read the blathering on HydrogenAudio.....
The fellows who wrote JPlay seemed to be very direct in their claims: their program doesn't change the bits; what it does is to minimize the computer overhead, which should make the computer better able to deliver the bits with better timing. What I would EXPECT from that claim is that JPlay might well have a significant effect on how many USB DACs sound - and none whatsoever on others. (I would expect some effect on non-asynch USB DACs; little to no effect on asynch USB DACS; and varying effect on DACs that use some sort of jitter reduction - dependiong on how much the DAC cares about jitter; and a lot will depend on the computer as well.)
My point is that I haven't seen any unreasonable claims made on their (JPlay's) part. They say "here's what it does, and some people hear an improvement" - and I see no reason to doubt that claim, and no reason to assume that it is some sort of scam. It just sort of offends me when people who don't have the technical background to understand the situation attack someone else based on that lack of knowledge. Reducing processing overhead on a HTPC MIGHT improve the delivery of audio, and certainly won't hurt it - and there is no reason to suggest that it would somehow damage the machine (any more than any other utility program is likely to).
I looked at Jplay too, and I have a computer background too, and I gotta tell you, the Jplay developers were exposed as incompetent on every key issue specifically tested by the JRiver and Foobar2000 developers. Jplay's claim of residing entirely in memory was refuted, their latency claim was exposed, and double blind testing revealed no difference. If Jplay were genuinely interested in unbiased "listen and make up your own mind" decisions, then their website would not be so carefully crafted to bias any decision, and they'd embrace double blind testing. Jplay was even dismantled in the forum of the most sympathetic listers (computeraudiophile). Jplay just has zero credibility.
Wow, Julian Hirsch and every deceased competent engineer or scientist must have rolled in their graves when MBerk posted. S&V should be ashamed that they've abandoned the scientific method and instead favor disinegenuous methods that leverage classical fallacies. I guess we can only depend on S&V for puff pieces instead of the insightful articles of the past. Prove me wrong and use double blind testing for determining the presence or not of audible differences.

9. | Scally | ||
A complete loser, usually working class. Typically wears something like lacoste shellsuit top, baseball cap and trakkie b's tucked into his socks with tasteless sports classics (eg adidas). Usually by the time they are in their 20's even these idiots grow out of it, although in Liverpool there are people who never do. If they are dressing up on a fraadee nite they will put their Rockports on before catching the train to Chester to get wasted. Usually too worried about what their mates think of them to enjoy themselves, hence ruining the atmosphere whereever they go. Usually in crowds. The social hierarchy is not based on based on 'hardness', even though they aren't hard at all. If they have enough money they might also be found in Ibiza or Faleraki in the summer.
See townie, sub-class, dickhead "British culchas fukkin grate inni"

A scally is a low life loser who lacks the basic education to string together sentences of more than five words. This prevents them from taking up the only job they are qualified for as they cannot say "Do you want fries with that ?"
To make up for their shortcomings they wear a uniform of fake designer gear and hang around on the streets looking for stuff to rob. The ultimate outfit is anything by LaCoste "Cos its kewl laaa". They normally only own one tracky and their single mothers dont know how to clean it so they are a bit grimy and they stink. Once a person has succumbed to scallydom there is no saving them and they are doomed to spend the rest of their lives hanging round street corners with other losers drinking cheap cider and 25 lager. To rebel against their sad lot in life scallies actually create a perverse sense of pride in belonging to the group and attempt to 'out scally, the other members to gain approval. Is that a dog turd over there or a SCALLY taking a rest?

A government experiment which involved breeding rats and humans gone terribly wrong. Originally intented to create a type of drone army but insted created a ever increasing group of city dwelling smegma piles that live in tower blocks or boxes.It has recently been discovered that these genetically modified rats have little or no intellegence and only survive on basic instict thus the mistake was made. Insted of fighting wars these vermin fight random people for "looking at them" will only fight one normal person at a time and there has to be at least 50 scallies before any combat takes place. They also steal from old people off licences and cars doesnt matter what it is, it could be a comb they'll still have it.
General Scally Image Scallies are often easy to spot as theyhang around together and all look the same, whiteish(sometimes green), greasy, spotty short haired, covered in "gold" jewellary (crafted by the finest £1 shop usally made from copper, tin plastic etc)And of course the trackie bottems, white sports socks, a woolie jumper/hooded over-throw jacket, baseball cap that teeters on the back of the head, white mucky trainers/fuck off pair of boots.

ned, bazza, townie
A term coined originally in Liverpool to group together a certain type of person through their clothes, language and ideals. The male 'scally' can be easily recognised through his clothing and language used. Hair is to be short and thickly gelled, often accompanied by a cap (Burberry preferably) tilted at a 45 degree angle. Gold jewelly is a must, curb chains and bracelets mainly, but the sovereign ring must also be taken into account. A small hooped earring never goes amiss. Tops must be slightly baggy and carrying a latest brand name (at time of writing Henri Lloyd is popular). Polo shirts (Hackett) are also a popular motif of the scally, coupling heavy branding with an ability to lift the fold-over collar up around the neck. Tracksuit bottoms are the desirable trouser of choice, often being rolled into sport socks. Trainers must be worn (except on nights out where loafers become king). Reebok Classics or Nike Air Max are still the reigning style, although Adidas County trainers are becoming seen more widely. Transport comes from 'suped-up' cars which are often between 10 and 20 years old. The lower to the floor, the better. Swearing is a common factor of scally language, along with monoslylaabic terms, possibly due to the dropping out of education before GCSE's could be taken.
The female scally is often seen with a much older male scally. Hair is scraped back and heavily hairsprayed. Limitless amounts of make-up cover any blemishes, and the look is finsihed off with big hooped earrings. Clothes wise, tracksuit tops and tracksuit bottoms or jeans are preferred, along with the mandatory trai... |

Scallys are lowlife scum who generally hang around street corners or shopping complexes waiting to either rob or intimidate someone.
They understand no large words from the english dictionary so stick to insults like 'Knob' instead of stringing together amusing profanities such as 'Knob - Jockey'. They are generally seen wearing fake 'designer' clothing ranging from adidas to a hot favourite 'henry lloyd'. They generally wear caps that are too small for their heads thus restricting all possible blood flow to thier tiny brains, big 'Rockport' boots are popular, stripey jumpers make them look like convicts and of course tracksuit bottoms tucked into their cartoon socks are standard. Only scallys and cyclist tuck in their trousers. Cyclists have a proper reason. To keep the bottoms from tangling with the chain. Scallys however use it as a place to store stolen goods. The items they steal will of course not fall from the trousers as they are tucked in. Why doesnt some one tell them about elastic? Older scallys (20-30) are generally jobless and are rarely seen unless it is dole day or they are out robbing. Younger scally females often find it essential to be pregnant by the age of 15. They generally call their devil spawn awful names like 'Michaeeloh' This of course means many more scallys are introduced into the world each day to provide a very amusing source of entertainment for the rest of us. |
6. | Scally | ||
Mammal with little to no basic social skills. Communicates via a series of grunts and hand gestures.
Lives in a social group consisting of a hierarchy where the leader or 'propa hard bloke' reins supreme in his knock off henry lloyd sweatshirt. Females of this species show a gross amount of flesh in order to obtain a mate in order to produe young at an early age - usually 15-18. These creatures have a variaty of mating calls including the well known 'ere ar yo' and 'ere ar will yo buy us some fags mate'. Often found at night near cornershops, parks, phoneboxes or anyother place they feel they may intimidate far superior creatures, the scally will most certainly be found with a can of white lightning or woodpecker in their posseion. While these creatures seem aggressive and act like complete tossers it is important to note that a string of long and hard to pronounce words often confuses them leaving them utterly helpless e.g. 'are you a bit thick like mate?' is often most sucessful at rendering a scally stupified. see Liverpool shopping centre,Manchester Arndale,London centre and the majority of dole queues

Commonly found all over the Uk, this individual is waste of the space that it and its miniscule brain takes up.
The male wears nike or adidas trackies with rockports or 'expensive' trainers and the essential hooded jumper. You will also see these losers wearing blue and white stripey jumpers, causing them to resemble a mint humbug holding its breath. They are incapable of walking down to the end of the street without saying to at least 3 girls, 'ere yar yo, d'you give 'ead?'; The female counterpart wears layers of foundation you could only remove with an industrial sanding machine, or maybe just with a chisel. They also tend to wear ridiculous 'gold' (gold plated) earrings. Hair is slicked back with copious amounts of gel and hairspray, and usually has bright bimbo blonde highlights in it. about 8/10 of this genre get pregnant by the age of 16, and apparently because 'The condom split' rather than i was paralytic with alcohol and couldnt be arsed to get a johnny out, or i couldnt afford them anyway. They walk around in tiny skirts and skin tight tops, with enough flab and fat hanging out to fry your bacon and eggs on for the rest of your life. Scallys tend to smoke cheap fags like sovereign. They also corner other smokers you are minding their own business and pester them for cigs if the have to money (which is usually the case) if the person refuses, they get 'banged out', but this usually fails, because the scallys have deluded themselves that because there ar... |

10. | Pimp Slap | ||
A back-handed slap, where you slowly bring your hand to your opposite shoulder and whip it out until fully extended, where you slap the face of whoever has disrespected you. If you get pimp slapped, you know you're a ho. I thought Chris was my friend, until I realised that he didn't inhale, so I pimp slapped that ho.
1. | pimp slap | ||
well...it really don't matter how many fingers you use. just remember that it's the back of the hand. not the palm. using the palm is the bitch slap. the back of the hand is the pimp slap.
How to preform: While VERY angry, extend the right arm across your chest in a 90 degree angle. Tighten you bicepts, and Swing to the right with full SPEED, aiming for the cheek. the goal is to connect as much of the back of your hand with as much force as possible. Just finished pimp-slap(n) some dude for not comming up with the rent.
2. | pimp slap | ||
The act of backhanding the cheek, delivering the blow from across the body. This technique is delivered with little or no leg movement as not to disturb the garmet hanging from your shoulders. The act is usually performed with heels place together, toes pointed outward, knees locked and non pimpslapping hand cupped by your side. The result of a properly executed pimp slap is a very hurt look on the face of the slap-ee coupled with a quick reaction to hold the freshly slapped spot. Bytch betta have my money...
3. | pimp slap | ||
what you do to your woman if you dont want to take her shit. best if followed up by, "BITCH, go make me a sandwich!" or a similar response. girl: jeez, go turn off your WoW! you've been playing for 2 hours! how is a shitty game like that so interesting?
guy: *pimp slap* GO MAKE ME A FUCKING SANDWICH, WOMAN! |
4. | pimp slap | ||
A slap delivered as a backhand to the face for disciplinary reasons. Different from a "bitch slap", which uses the palm of the hand and can be recreational. Don't make me pimp slap your dumb ass for talking back to me!
5. | Pimp Slap | ||
A backhand slap across the face using the middle, index, and pinky finger. Mostly used by pimps to keep his hoes in order. The bitch didn't gimmie my fuckin money so i pimp slapped her ass.
6. | Pimp Slap | ||
A backhand smack,slap, or hit (usually to the face) by a male. The Pimp Slap is used to just mess around, to hurt someone (offense or defence), or it is used by a Pimp when the "hoe won't give up all the money."
Also known as "Keeping the 'Pimp Hand' strong." 1) *Bob hits Jack*
Jack: Ow man what the hell? Bob: Haha you just got Pimp Slapped! 2) *Someone tries to steal Bob's cell phone* *Bob Pimp Slaps the robber* Bob: Bitch dont even think about it! 3)A hoe makes $150 for having sex with a guy down the street. Later that day the Pimp comes to collect the money. The hoe gives him $100. The guy comes to the Pimp the next day asking for sex with the same hoe. He says he will pay the same $150 as he did yesterday. The Pimp realizes he was ripped off. The Pimp goes to the hoes house and Pimp Slaps her untill "the bitch gives up all the cash" The Pimp then makes her have sex weith the guy and the Pimp takes all the money. |
7. | pimp slap | ||
As shown in the movie How High, the new pimp slap is delivered with the palm of the hand dusted with baby powder, leaving a palm print on the face of the slapee.
old school pimp slap is basically a cross body back hand with the rest of the body remaining still. did this hoe disrespect me? I'm gonna have to pimp slap her.... *SLAP!*

Whilst the band aren't particularly keen on genre boundaries (they're much keener on just making music), their sound is none the less one of the more authentic examples of intense metal on the UK scene at the moment.

1967, 95', USA, black and whiteD.A. PennebakerEnglish with Turkish subtitles"What I wanted to do was just be present when Dylan enacted his whole life and show you what he deals with and what interests him. It may not be so much about Dylan because Dylan is sort of acting throughout the film. And that's his right... He had to be extraordinary where most of us settle for just being adequate." D A Pennebaker
Both a classic documentary and a vital pop-cultural artifact, Pennebaker's portrait of Bob Dylan captures the seminal singer-songwriter on the cusp of his transformation from folk prophet to rock trendsetter. Shot during Dylan's 1965 British concert tour, Don't Look Back employs an edgy vérité style that was, and is, a snug fit with the artist's own consciously rough-hewn persona. Its handheld black-and-white images and often-gritty London backdrops suggest cinematic extensions of the archetypal monochrome portraits that graced Dylan's career-making early-'60s album jackets. Pennebaker's access to the legendarily private troubadour enables us to witness Dylan's shifting moods as he performs, relaxes with his entourage (including then lover Joan Baez, road manager Bob Neuwirth, and poker-faced manager Albert Grossman), and jousts with other musicians (notably Animals alumnus Alan Price and Scottish folksinger Donovan), fans, and press. It's a measurement of the filmmaker's acuity that the conversations are often as gripping as Dylan's solo performances.

Caught on camera
When doing some research for this story, I broke down every single Cavs possession from Game 1 against the Wizards. I prepared a complex chart, watching how the Cavs got LeBron James the ball and what the Wizards did in response. By the way, he got the ball on 68 of 76 possessions, 39 with a pass in the halfcourt and 29 when he brought it up the court himself (If there was a foul or violation or ball out of bounds that reset the offense, I just counted the whole thing as one possession).

ESPN Chat Today
For any blog readers interested, I will be doing a chat today on ESPN.com at 4 p.m. about LeBron James' career. I'll have a story up on the site sometime this afternoon about his five great debuts: high school, national TV, pro, All-Star, and playoffs. Here's a chart on them from the Sunday's ABJ.

5 things I think I know about this series
1. The hardest player for the Cavs to control will be Antawn Jamison. Gilbert Arenas will get his points, he's a great player. But the Cavs really don't have anyone on their roster who has shown they can defend him. He averaged a double-double against the Cavs this season.

Oklahoma City -- One of the few reasons why I was looking forward to coming here for the last several weeks is a desire to see the Oklahoma City bombing memorial. It took 45 minutes to find it despite it being only about six blocks from the hotel because we (the now healthy Bob Finnan back on the beat and I) got lost several times, but it was worth it. On the day the bombing happened, April 19, 1995, I was on a junior class trip to Washington D.C. and we were not able to go into the Capital building because they'd closed it out of precaution. Being there Monday afternoon sort of reminded me of that day and how I've lived my life since then, which is why we build and go to memorials...to reflect. Of course, the 168 people who died that day didn't get a chance to live those 11 years which is the point. In all, I didn't think it was as visually powerful as other memorials I've been to over the years, but it was unique.

Poo is a byproduct of your body. Poo is primarily composed of dehydrated waste manufactured in from the works of many organs in your body. Some include the Gall Bladder, Small Intestine, Large Intestine, Stomach, Esophagus, and many more.
Poo is commonly propelled out of your rectum usually preceding speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. There are multiple types of poos, such as, Gattling Gun: The Gattling Gun is when your anus continually produces poo pellets which erupt out of your ass into the water. Splashers: Splashers are actually quite common. They refer to any kind of poo that hits the water of the toilet bowl and the water displaces onto your ass and you aquire an annoying yet real feeling of a splashed ass. One Eyed Green Monster: The One Eyed Green Monster, or O.E.G.M., is a greenish hue poo that has usually a few nuts in it. O.E.G.M.s are usually mixed with a dark redish color or brownish color and seem to appear when there are some extra foods that have flown through the digestive track. The greenish poo usually represents illness. The Red Baron: Red Barons are red poos basically. They attain the color of red through stain of your very own blood. A Red Baron may more commonly make your anus bleed instead of being stained with its blood. Burning Brigade: The Burning Brigade is usually a series of poos that result in a tired and extremely overheated anus. These poos steam at sight and leave your anus in no better condition.

The hydra luminous powder foundation is in fact a good, light coverage foundation which does not clog pores. It is quite expensive, but the beautiful, reuseable case in which it comes compensates for that.

I purchased many Clarins products from Fragrancenet and was very happy with the service and the product. The product is at a great price. I was concerned that the product would be expired (because I couldn't believe the price) but I knew by the newer packaging that the product was new and fresh! Will order from Fragrancenet always!

The product I purchased for my wife is very good and she is very pleased (Clarins for Women, Super Restorative Total Eye Concentrate). The only disappointment was the delivery time it took to receive the product. The product was ordered on February 1st expecting to receive it by Valentine's Day. The product was shipped on February 11th and it arrived at my house on February 19th (using FedEx ground), approximately 2.5 weeks later from the order date. This is unacceptable. One suggestion: please notify the customer if you are unable to ship within a couple days.

So I've started hosting a weekly webcast. About the conspiracy to hide cake in popular video games. Or, if you prefer I have too much time on my hands. Either way, you can find it here - http://blip.tv/the-cake-is-not-a-lie A clean (without text) version of this has already been linked in my blog, as a sort of teaser. But I've now begun, in earnest, and want to share the finished version. Mayhap hook in a few more views. The episodes themselves will make it across sooner or later too, but much slower than they will on my Blip channel. Any feedback, especially negative, will be greatly appreciated. We improve by knowing where we went wrong more than what we did right. So please, do not be kind. Fillet me with a rusty spoon over an open volcano. I can take it *activate flameshield*

Alright, second part of the Raving Rabbids easter egg in Splinter Cell : Conviction. The first one is in the only open room right at the begining of the White House mission, on the desk. For the second one, you will need to go in Deniable Ops game mode, and choose the Printing Press level. You will find it later on the mission if you look carefully.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking to get into world formula karting and am looking for information on what to pay for a used kart with blueprinted wf engine? w/ stock engine?
Thanks in advance

Hi Ryan,
It'll be more useful if you fill in your profile so people know where you'll be racing. The answers will differ if you live in Washington or Florida or South Africa. The brand of kart you buy will depend on local support.
You can get a good used 4 cycle chassis for about $2000. New stock engine is $1000 and new blueprinted $1400. These are the largest expenses but be prepared for lots of $200 and $300 receipts if you take the plunge to get everything you need to race. My latest surprise is $300 for a transponder.
Search the Classifieds here for World Formula and you'll find:
Add up what's included and you'll see the price is not too far off. If I lived in Washington I would have had a serious look at that package. I'm buying everything new because I'm in New England.
I hope you end up with a WF wherever you live.

I am new to all of this. I bought a Wildkart WF from a dealer that was going out of business. One thing I learned after buying my kart was that there were no dealers in the state or adjoining states that were familiar with the Wildkart chassis. So I would have been better off buying a chassis that is popular in the region as that would mean that I could get good support in setting up the chassis.
In this area it appears that the Arrow has a big following. However, it would have been to expensive for me - at least until I got to the Nationals.

The "supported chassis" thing is largely a marketing tool IMHO.
Most kart chassis work about the same way and respond to adjustments in similar fashion.
will have to learn how your chassis works no matter if you buy it new, used, it's something that everyone else at the track runs, or it's made on the moon and nobody has ever seen it before. If you look at results from major races it doesn't really seem to matter if you have a red, green, blue, yellow, orange, or black chassis. It always comes down to set-up and driver....
While it's true that buying something a dealer that is at the track often sells may be easier, it doesn't guarantee a good result. Especially if you buy it used from a third party many dealers will expect you to buy something substantial before they start handing out "free" advice. Also, if your local track is 99% TaG and you're running WF they may not even be much help if you buy everything new from them.
So, my advice is spend what it takes to get a decent used set-up but don't worry too much about brands. If you can buy a kart that's been raced at your track in the class you want to race in, and the seller is still racing there and will help you out that's the best thing.
In any case, get yourself a tape measure and start messing with track width. Put the front full wide and the rear full narrow and take the kart out to see how it feels. Reverse it and see how that feels. Set it back to normal and pump the tires up to 20 PSI, drop them to 6PSI. If you do just these few things when you first start out you'll have a much better idea of how to tune the kart for the conditions you face each day you're out.
Most guys make the mistake of just getting in and driving before they even understand how the thing works. Karts are very different from anything else on track so a few hours experimenting in your first few outings will pay rewards long into your karting career.
BTW Paul, the WildKart chassis is a very good one. They're now being imported by a good dealer in California who should be able to get you baseline set-ups for wherever you race. Mike and Linda Beard of Kart Parts Unlimited handle the parts and can steer you in the right direction for more info on WildKart in general (they're great folks too)

Thanks for all of the information. It makes me feel better.
Hopefully Kartel Motorsports will be successful with this new line. With the economy the way it is I suspect it will take them sometime before they obtain a meaningful dealer network and sales level.
I got the kart with Mycron 4 for $3,500 - no sales tax and only had to spent money to pay for it to be setup. It seemed to be a good price ??? so I jumped on it without trying any other karts.
Have a good weekend.

Thanks everyone for your input.
Here in So. Cal there seems to be 2 clubs close by that run wf races and there are plenty of dealers for the major brands, i.e. crg, briel, tony kart, sodi. It seems that there is enough support as long as I stay with a major brand.
Right now, Im just looking for input on fair used chassis and engine prices. Also, tips on things to look for in a used kart before buying.
I just don't want to run in problems after buying a kart that could be avoided.
Thanks again, and any more information is appreciated.

I wouldn't pay more than $1500 for a roller no matter what it is. WF engines are $1000 new so maybe $750 for a used one max.
You can get perfectly usable rollers for less than $500, at that price a new engine might be a smart move. Just make sure whatever used chassis you buy doesn't have big flat spots in the frame rails, that means it's worn out.
Like I said before, your best deal will be someone who races at your track and is upgrading their kart. That way you can talk with them about set-up. Unless you're really good you won't be winning races your first year out anyway so money will be better spent on practice days rather than fancy equipment.
The guys and gals you're racing with will be a much better support system than any shop can hope to be. They want you to get competitive soon so they'll have more people to race against. Everyone's your friend until you start beating them
Then they might just hold onto their secrets a little tighter. But, WF is pretty much a sportsman deal so probably more camaraderie than some of the more high strung classes.
Go to the track, talk to the guys there and let them know you're looking. Don't be afraid that you won't get the kart right away, in fact you might do better to volunteer crew with someone for a race or two and see what's really going on. You don't need to run all the races your first season, in fact I would really recommend volunteering to flag a few so you get a good feel for what's going on out there from another perspective.
I know this is a lot of stuff but seriously, take your time getting started. The racing will be there and the more you know before you take the plunge the better off you'll be.

Firefox Add-ons
What Fire fox add-ons / extensions do you use and what do they do.
I use:
All-in-One Side bar - easier access to bookmarks history, downloads, and others.
British English dictionary - so I don't look like an illiterate fool on forums!
NoScript - No damn malware is sneaking it's way on to my PC!
Firebug - well it's obvious, and one of the best tools out there.
GridFox - I found this recently - it overlays a customisable grid over any web page. Another very useful developer's tool.
I'm hoping to find more useful little tools and add-ons, so share with me; what do you use, what does it do, and why do you use it?I use the 'Web Developer Toolbar' and a Dutch dictionairy :) I also installed Firebug, but don't use it often while I am used to use the web developer toolbar.Besides the obvious Firebug, one extension I really like is PicLens:
http://www.piclens.com/site/firefox/tut ... _ff_16.php
It doesn't have anything to do with development, but it makes browsing pictures really easy and fun.Ow yes of course I got piclens too. I really love it, it gives browsing images an amazing effect! :)I use fewer and fewer add-ons these days,
Firebug is the mainstay and I doubt I could live without it.
HTML Validator (HTML Tidy) is another very useful developer app.
And the British English Dictionary for spell checking.
I find I no longer use the web developers toolbar anymore - except for quick-viewing all images and their details, that's still useful, but firebug just about covers everything for me.I actually stopped using the Web Developer Toolbar as well. One thing I do find it useful for though is resizing my browser window to specific sizes. Firebug can't do that...I never used firebug very very much, for me the toolbar was much faster to use, because I know it. Why do you like firebug more? What is the power of firebug? And I use html-tidy too, already forgot that, I am so used to it, also have it in safari, it's just a normal thing to me ;)I use:
Firebug - A Firefox extension that allows you to edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.
Dust-Me Selectors - A Firefox extension (for v1.5 or later) that finds unused CSS selectors.I just started using Firebug and Web Developer Toolbar. I am still trying to learn all the basics of Web Developer Toolbar. I still can not install PicLens because i am using Firefox 3.0 Beta 5 and the Add-On i guess is not up-to-datepiclense
web dev
export color profile thing
some measuring tool,
the signature add on
the tab thing that makes my home page pop up on new tabs
IE tab that switches the tab to IE7
and i just found some pretty cool new ones the other day in a big list that im going to go through. pretty excited about those. hopefully ill find something cool
i didnt care for firebug until i saw that you can change styles live so that comes in handy to get something up, scoot things around and then go back to the code and fix it getting things pixel perfect. diagnostic stuff is cool too. i use that and webdev for different things i guess and actually dont use either that often.Thanks for the Gridfox and Dust-me-selectors hints guys, I needed those!
Apart from the already mentioned evergreens (Firebug and Web Dev Toolbar) I also use FireCookie to manage cookies (ha, pleonastic :) ), as I use lots of differents accounts with different features, for testing purposes on the websites that I work on.
I also find Fireshot a very handy add-on, to grab portions and entire pages (with or without scrolling): it's fast, light and allows basic editing.

Flu epidemic shows signs of easing, U.S. health officials say
CHICAGO (Reuters) — Flu remains widespread in the United States and 29 children have died of complications from it, but there are signs the epidemic is easing, U.S. health officials said on Friday.
Forty-eight states reported widespread influenza infections last week, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden described this year as a "worse than average season, particularly for the elderly."
"Many parts of the country are still seeing high - and in some parts - increasing levels of activity while overall activity is beginning to go down," Frieden said in a teleconference.
This year's flu season has reached the midpoint, which means new cases of flu are beginning to fall, but Frieden said he expects both the number and rates of hospitalization and death to rise further as the flu epidemic progresses.
Thousands of people die every year from flu, but the elderly generally are the hardest hit, with 90 percent of all flu deaths occurring in people over age 65.
The CDC does not keep track of all flu-related deaths in adults, but during the second week of January, 8.3 percent of deaths reported to its 122 Cities Mortality Reporting System were due to pneumonia and influenza. That is up from 7.3 percent reported the previous week and exceeds the epidemic threshold of 7.2 percent.
In the first two weeks of January, nine children died of complications from the flu, bringing the death toll of children from this year's flu season to 29, the CDC reported.
That compares with a total of 34 child deaths for the entire 2011-2012 flu season, an especially mild one, and 282 during the severe 2009-2010 season.
Last week, the percentage of visits to healthcare providers for flu-like illness fell to 4.6 percent, down from a revised 4.8 percent in the prior week, the CDC said. By comparison, in the 2009 H1N1 "swine" flu pandemic, 7.7 percent of visits were for flu-like illness. Continued...
Despite continued reports of spot shortages, Frieden said it is not too late to get vaccinated.
Flu vaccine makers had expected to produce 135 million doses of vaccine, but they have been able to eek out an additional 10 million doses. So far, Frieden said, 129 million doses have been made available for distribution to doctors' offices, drug stores, clinics and other facilities.
"That means there is more vaccine out there for suppliers to order," he said.
To avert shortages of the antiviral drug Tamiflu, made by Roche Holding AG's Genentech unit, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg said her agency has authorized the company to distribute 2 million doses of a 75 milligram capsule from its stockpile that contains an older version of the package instructions.
"This medication is fully approved. It is not outdated," she said. "To assure people have access, we took the necessary steps to allow Genentech to distribute its reserve without requiring them to repackage it, which would have taken months," Hamburg said.
Last week, Roche said the liquid form of Tamiflu, which is given to children who already have the flu to alleviate symptoms, was in short supply.
At the time, Roche said it had warned wholesalers and distributors that temporary delays in shipments were imminent.
Pharmacists can make a substitute by dissolving Tamiflu capsules in a sweet liquid.

How do you think the spin is going to go when the LSM's (Lame Stream Media) 'Chosen One' sails off to Valhalla, or wherever it is they farm out old worn-out commie ideologues? It occurred to me that the one group that could not find a depth of moral or professional depravity too low to plumb, in order to further the myth that is Barack Hussein Obama, just may have been in large part responsible for what could be a historic landslide repudiation of everything Barry Hussein and his DeMarxists stand for. The LSM created a myth in their own fevered mind.
Whoever the 'they' are that nurtured and shielded the nascent Barack Hussein Obama on his meteoric rise to Marxist prominence, which included the sequestration of all of MaoBama's personal records from his questionable birth records, right through to his relatively meteoric rise from the streets of Chicago as a lowly 'community organizer' and shyster for the thankfully now discredited ACORN organisation are, in my opinion, the same ones who have directed the media's fabrication of a Barack Hussein Obama who does not now, nor ever did, exist. read more »

Great. Huh The main point of using the other HD was to prevent this, so I deleted that patition/file and that left a small unallocated space besides my swap so I then tried to just resize my swap to take up that space using Gparted. That didn't work though.
I originally figured I'd install into the first 37GB since it would be a primary partition (I think) but am a bit concerned that would change all of my existing PCL drive letters
However, since I have all of this space at the end of the HD can I just install there instead - even though it is part of the sda2 extended partition?
After I install Win7 how do I keep it from screwing with my MBR as I want to be sure I can get the PCL GRUB to continue loading up to give me a boot option ?
Important!BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP!
I thought putting the Win 7 on separate HD might indeed be a safe idea so I added an old 40gb HD to my desktop and proceeded to do a clean install of the Win 7 to it. Win 7 loaded on the other HD but somehow seems to have gotten over to my PCL HD and added a very small partition to it that was not there before.
Win 7 loaded on the other HD but somehow seems to have gotten over to my PCL HD and added a very small partition to it that was not there before.
I have plenty of unallocated room at the beginning of the extended partition so I don't understand why Gparted would not let me add the small Swap back at that same location but it wouldn't. (I figure I can try and add swap later if needed since I don't think my system ever used it)
Indeed I found Windows was installed on both HD's. So deleted it off of my PCL HD (using Gparted) and this space shows now to be unallocated again. However running Dolphin I can see all of the Windows files are still there on the PCL sda HD.
So at this point if someone thinks it is work trying to delete Windows from sda1 and changing the drive letters back to what they should be I will try that - otherwise it might be about as easy to do just do a clean install of PCL but my "/" hasn't changed so if I can get the sda1 part of my HD wiped clean maybe the drive letters will change and I'll be getting close to booting again? (As suggested, I was able to add my swap space back in the same location on the HD. However it picked up a different drive letter of sda7 and it was sda5)

"They are trying to undermine the future of the (Afghan Security Forces)," he said.
Having reached their peak of 352,000 last year, more Afghan security forces will also bring more casualties as well, according to defense officials.
"They really have taken on the bulk of the security responsibility and have been dying in very significant numbers as compared to their U.S. counterparts over the last three months," said Jeffrey Dressler, a senior analyst on Afghanistan with the Washington-based institute for the Study of War.
Last year was the deadliest so far for Afghan forces with more than 3,400 soldiers and police killed, up from 1,950 the previous year, according to a Brookings Institute study.
Some 237 U.S. troops were killed by hostile fire in 2012, down from 351 the previous year, according to Pentagon statistics.
While Afghan security force fatalities are up, a new report by the United Nations on Tuesday shows civilian deaths on the decline.
Civilian deaths in Afghanistan dropped 12% in 2012 -- the first time that figure has fallen in six years, according to the U.N. Assistance Mission to Afghanistan (UNAMA).
The report credits the decline to fewer suicide bombings, a drop in aerial attacks and less ground fighting between pro-government and militant forces.
The U.S.-led NATO military force has put strict limits on air strikes by coalition aircraft called in by NATO troops.
Last week, Afghan President Hamid Karzai banned Afghan security forces from calling in allied air strikes after at least 10 civilians were killed during an Afghan-led operation in eastern Kunar province earlier this month.

In an interesting twist to the current Freddie Mac situation (which I blogged about here), President Obama has decided to elaborate on his New Housing Proposal that he briefly mentioned in his State of the Union Speech last Tuesday. Obama's plan to expand the Home Affordable Refinance Program HARP would assist homeowners who are attempting to qualify for refinancing. According to the HARP website, the program expects to refinance "as many as 2.85 million loans by the end of 2013."
How does the Freddie Mac bet against homeowners affect this goal?
First, let's look at Freddie's questionable position:
Freddie Mac has bought 'inverse floaters' which essentially means they invested in packages of mortgages and sold off their right to collect on the principal of those mortgages with the mindset that they would just collect the interest rate payments. This is a bet that people will continue to pay these interest payments and one way that they may get out of paying those interest payments is to replace them with a new loan with lower interest payments – that's a little something called 'refinancing'. Well, if you or I invested in inverse floaters like those bought by Freddie Mac, we could debate the merits and risks of that investment. But Freddie Mac is charged with helping people refinance – so why would Freddie Mac make such an investment? It was likely a hedge – a way to trade off some possible risk in other investments. But here's the kick: there should never, ever be even a hint of a conflict of interest in an organization's positions, even in a hedge.
The answer is simple: as long as Freddie Mac has an role in refinancing, they must remove their hedge against it.

Cute Durable towel

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids Hooded Butterfly Towel ?:
This towel is very cute and my daughter loves it! She uses it daily for the shower. It is easy to hang up and keep put away due to the hood. The cotton terry material did pull a little, but that is the nature of the material. It has not affected the function or quality of the item. The material is still soft and looks new after a year of continuous use.

I am new to cricut. I had a smaller version and it worked well. Then it froze on me. I wasn't able to get it to work, although the cricut company did give me help with it. The machine wasn't fixable. I had already wanted a bigger version of the cricut, so when I saw this one on overstock.com, I bought it. I have used it once. It worked well for me. I plan on using it for my Sunday School class, Vacation Bible School, and my card making projects. I expect my daughter will be able to use it for her projects too. I plan on using it for my son's posters too. He is in sports at his High School. It was exactly what I expected. I love the fact that I received 2 cartridges with this machine. They can be very pricey. This is a great place to find what you are looking to purchase.
I have been a cricut user for a few years now. I have always wished that it would take a 12 x 12 cardstock. . I always had to cut the paper in half. I LOVE the expression. Now I can load a full 12 x12 sheet of cardstock and just let it cut away. I think the best feature is the screen that shows you exactly what you are cuttling. Also I wanted to get into etching glass and now with the expression I can. JUST LOVE IT.
Love this machine! It's a powerful, fun tool. Not very user friendly right from the box, but eventually you get the hang of it and it produces very creative cards, scrapbook pages and misc. craft items. Love i, love it, love it.
Product shipped to me super fast, very good quality. Love it.
Originally, the Cricut Expression machine I received didn't work. Gave me a Cartridge Communication Error. But I contacted customer service and was able to return it via pre-paid UPS and a replacement was sent out. The replacement Cricut machine works great! No problems at all. Kudos to Overstock.com for making my return so hassle free. I love my new Cricut and would recommend it and Overstock.com to everyone!
I have been able to use the expression to create wall art and t shirt vinyl. I just love it.
Love the machine but would have enjoyed getting one fun cartidge in place of 1 of the utilitarian cartidges
The price was great, the shipping was quick. All in all a great transaction and I will shop on Overstock.com again.
Couldn't be any happier with my purchase. Cricut is an excellent product, and to get it at an Overstock.com price was awesome. Free shipping is always a plus too!!
love it! can't believe I waited this long to get one.

The police involved in a hostage situation were faced with an interesting decision.
It wasn't whether to send in a robot or storm into a building, it was whether to have the hostage taker's Facebook page shut down.
Here's what they knew: A 22-year-old man in Pittsburgh had taken another man hostage and was holed up in a suite on the 16th floor of a high-rise office building.
And the suspect, Klein Michael Thaxton, had been on Facebook for hours.
"People were sending Facebook messages. We could see that he was paying more attention to Facebook than to the negotiating team, which was hampering our abilities to resolve the situation," Diane Richard, a spokeswoman for Pittsburgh Police Department, said about Friday's incident.
Richard said SWAT officers kept an eye on the Facebook page for at least two hours before making a joint decision with the district attorney to ask for the page to be shut down.
Facebook, through a spokesman, declined to comment.
Richard said not every message asked Thaxton to give up, that some encouraged him to keep going.
Detective Robert Shaw of the Pittsburgh homicide division said Thaxton was arraigned on Saturday and charged with aggravated assault, kidnapping and terrorist threats. Thaxton is being held on $1 million bail.
"Mr. Thaxton has expressed remorse for what has happened. However, at this time we do not wish to speculate as to why this alleged incident occurred.," his attorneys said in a statement. "Moreover, we are unable to discuss his mental health history or the role that a mental health disorder may have played in this matter."
