|Introduction and specifications
It was back at the Consumer Electronics Show that we first caught a glimpse of the Corsair SP2500 2.1 channel speaker system. Dave and I were traversing the show floor while our compadres Mat and Jennifer were off gallivanting at a few private meetings at some lavish Las Vegas hotels. As we headed straight into the Corsair booth to check out some new cooling gear, new solid state drives, and a slick, white 600T case, we walked right passed the SP2500s, which were positioned on and end-cap at one of the corners of the booth. As our discussion with reps from Corsair winded down, we asked if we had seen all that Corsair was featuring for the show. The answer was no.
Looking strictly at the numbers, the Corsair SP2500 2.1 channel speaker system may not seem overly impressive. Only 2.1 channels, only 232 total watts, an 8" subwoofer, etc. But there's definitely more to the numbers. As we've mentioned, a 2.1 channel setup may be ideal for users who cannot properly install and configure a 5.1 channel system (and no, sticking your rear satellites on the floor, under your desk is not adequate). Those 232 watts are an actual, measured RMS rating, not some meaningless peak power rating, and that subwoofer is wrapped in a tuned enclosure that minimizes distortion and maximizes output. The bottom line is the Corsair SP2500 speaker system has a lot going for it, that the numbers don't explicitly show.
|Setup and Configuration
Inside the Corsair SP2500 box, users will find a large subwoofer, a pair of satellites, two small stands to help angle the satellite speakers up or down depending on their location, a control pod, and all if the necessary wiring to get the speaker system connected and running.
Because the Corsair SP2500 2.1 speaker system uses a standard analog connection to a PC's sound card or integrated audio controller, installing the system couldn't be an easier. A single 3.5mm stereo to dual RCA cable plugs into the PC's output and then into the left and right channel inputs on the subwoofer. Then the satellites need to be connected to the sub along with the control pod, and then the sub needs to be plugged into power (obviously).
The cables for the satellite speaks have four-pin, keyed connectors on each end, so they can only be installed one way, i.e. the correct way. The cables are color coded as well, to designate the left and right channels. Simply plug in the cables to their color matched receptacles, place them properly on your desk and the satellites are set up.
The control pod is similarly easy to install. The pod features a thick cable with a DB15 connector on one end. Simply screw it into the port on the back of the subwoofer and that's it. The cable is 6 feet long, but we should note that a standard VGA extension cable can be used to extend it if the need arises.
|Sound Quality and Testing
Before we discuss sound quality, we should discuss the specific attributes of the speakers themselves. The subwoofer included with the Corsair SP2500 2.1 channel speaker system uses a fourth order bandpass enclosure design with an 8" driver. A fourth order enclosure is essentially a sealed subwoofer enclosure with an additional section that houses a tuned port. The port is tuned to a certain frequency and extends the low frequency response over a basic sealed enclosure, within the limits of the driver. Fourth order bandpass enclosures are efficient and offer good power handling, but only up to the limit of port's tuned frequency. Try to push lower than the tuned frequency and things get distorted real quick. But, since the Corsair SP2500s uses individual class-D amps with dedicated DSPs, supported frequency ranges, or crossover points, can be specified to minimize distortion. The sub is rated for 120 watts and is powered by a pair of bridged 60 watt amps, which can output up to 120 watts.
Although they don't use quite as elaborate of an enclosure design, the SP2500 satellites also have the benefits of individual amplifiers with DSPs per speaker. Crossover points are set to each driver's rated frequency range, and the drivers consist of a 3" 40 watt midrange and a 1" 16 watt ferrofluid-cooled silk diaphragm tweeter. Total power capacity per satellite is 56 watts, and you guessed it, there is a 40 watt midrange class-D amplifier and 16 watt tweeter class-D amplifiers, both with integrated DSPs.
We have been using the Corsair SP2500 speaker system for a few weeks now and have had the opportunity to listen to a wide range of music, movies and games. Overall, we'd classify the sound quality of the speaker system as excellent, but not perfect.
|Corsair HS1A, the Perfect Companion
While testing the SP2500 speaker system, Corsair also sent over a pair of their recently released HS1A gaming headphones. The HS1As are very similar to the excellent HS1 headset Corsair launched a while back, with the exception that the newer HS1A kit uses an analog connection, rather than the digital USB connection of the originals.
We decided to showcase the HS1A headset here because we found them to be a great companion to the SP2500s. The SP2500 control pod features a headphone output and a preset EQ mode geared for headsets and when the HS1As were used in conjunction with the SP2500s, sound quality was fantastic.
|Our Summary and Conclusion
There is a lot to like about the Corsair SP2500 2.1 channel speaker system. Sound quality across the board, with a wide range of music, movies and games was simply top-notch. The bass produced by the speaker system's 8" subwoofer, which resides in a fourth order bandpass enclosure, was booming and heavy at all volume levels, with minimal, if any perceptible distortion. Similarly, the Corsair SP2500 satellite speakers also produced excellent sound. The individual midrange drivers and tweeter are matched well to the subwoofer and provide crystal clear audio at a wide range of frequencies and volumes.
Corsair was able to produce such a clean sounding speaker system by using individual class-D amplifiers with dedicated DSPs per driver. With a setup such as this, the power provided to each driver can be set to optimal levels and crossover points for each driver can be tuned perfectly. Couple those attributes with a tuned subwoofer enclosure, quality drivers, and tuned program and EQ presets and you've got a speaker system that offers clean, clear, distortion free audio at virtually any volume level.

There are no words to capture grief, nor the mourning in our hearts
I never thought that we were meant to be easily torn apart...
No pain in life could have ever prepared us, for the pain we faced today
My child I wish you could hear the words that we truly long to say
We wish we could have taught you, about the flowers in the spring
We wish we could have showed you, the homes of our kin...
We wish we could have loved you, and watched you fly away
But in this cold and clammy cave is where you have to stay
We'll lay you down to rest for now, so just dream of better times
Your mother and I will be the ones to atone for our crimes
Sleep for now and rest yourself for you needn't ever rise

I hear what you're saying and I too have found I'm falling more and more behind each time I say I'm "taking a break".
What I've found as my trend is I still try to eat and workout the same way I did 25 years ago. I simply can't eat that much food and workout that hard any longer so I've went to the "old guy" workout for now and it seems to be working.
I cut my intake (protein) and don't lift near as heavy. I'll not be in competition shape (body building) doing this but I'll be healthy and maintain my weight...plus still feel good about me.
Now I'm not an old guy but coming up on 50...I had to adjust as I just don't want to dedicate the time and effort any more but I still want to workout and eat healthy. This has worked for me and from time to time I go on a kick and eat lots, sometimes I workout hard like I use to but overall...adjusted to fit my life style and I'm still enjoying it.
Might look at what you are doing based your life style and see if there is room for a change...
Two of the greatest:
At first I couldn't figure out how the bar is so bent with 405lbs, but then I realized Dave is pulled on the bar with his arms. This pic makes me want to do ass to the floor squats with a heavy weight.
TRT (prescription testosterone). It helps with motivation.
It's called crossfit and eating overall healthier. If you do the same thing for 25 yrs you get the same results.

Mozzarella Home-Style Italian Cooking in Doral
Mozzarella Home-Style Italian Cooking in Doral
Mozzarella Home-Style Italian Cooking
7930 NW 36th St, Suite 30, Doral
Hours: Noon-4pm and 6-8:30pm Monday-Friday, noon-6pm Saturday
Prices: Starters $3.75-$13.50, entrees $12.75-$19.50, desserts $3.25-$4.50
FYI: Catering available, and the restaurant is available Saturday nights for private parties
The motto at Mozzarella Home-Style Italian Cooking is "here you eat like at home," but unless you make your own pasta and roast lamb shanks overnight, you are best off eating at this Doral restaurant, tucked in a strip mall off the Palmetto.
At the helm are Jose Vinaz and wife Rossella Boccitto, who share the cooking while Jose's son Francisco runs the front. There are daily specials: meatballs on Monday, baked chicken with lemon and tarragon on Tuesday, and slow roasted pork with white wine, fennel and garlic on Wednesday. There's always homemade linguine with seafood, grilled baby lamb chops marinated in garlic and rosemary and risotto of the day (mushroom, fine herb, pumpkin or four cheese).
Jose is Venezuelan and worked most of his life as an art director in advertising. Rossella is from Rome and came to Venezuela in 1979 with her family, who own a construction company. The two met eight years ago at an anti-Chavez protest, married and came to Miami five years ago to start a new life.
Both loved to cook, so they opened a takeout pasta place. Customers wanted a sit-down restaurant, so they expanded, adding a corner nook with a library of cookbooks for browsing.
Start with burrata and prosciutto on baby greens or soup of the day. Daily specials include salmon with béarnaise sauce (Wednesday), grilled duck breast with raspberry sauce (Thursday) and chicken Milanese (Friday). On Saturday, there's braised beef short ribs in dark gravy made from a puree of sautéed onions and fennel with Malta, red wine and Worcestershire sauce.
Cioppino (fisherman's stew) is always on the menu, bringing a bowl of deep, briny soup based on broth made from fish heads with bay leaves, celery and tomatoes brimming with mussels, shrimp, squid and small scallops. Select a type of pasta and pair it with a sauce. Sauces include Napoli with fresh mozzarella and norcina, a creamy emulsion from Umbria made here with mascarpone cheese, white wine and crumbled Italian sausage. Everything here including the chocolate tiramisu is made with love.

How To Get Him Back Without Seeming Needy Or Desperate
If you're a woman who has tried to get your ex back, you've most likely taken the "desperate times call for desperate measures" approach, causing you to do all kinds of unfortunate things, including the walk of shame and the drunk dial. These unflattering behaviors render you his doormat, and ultimately push him away.
I know how excruciating it is when you still love him after your relationship ends. I've been the desperate woman who has tried unsuccessfully to get (a couple of) my exe(s) back. What I remember most is feeling insecure during the process and embarrassed about some of the things I did. My wake-up call in 2007 changed me for the better.
In 2007, I experienced some big setbacks, including a breakup with a man I loved dearly. I was devastated, and deep inside sensed our relationship wasn't over. These setbacks helped me learn how to love myself. The more I loved myself, the less my desire to behave in desperate ways to get him back.
My approach wasn't about initiating and worrying whether or not he would come back. It was about responding and having an inner-knowing that he would come back because he wanted to, while at the same time knowing that I would be fine if he didn't. This empowering, six-step approach led him back to me and made me his wife.
1. Don't disagree with why things ended. If he brings up the reasons why your relationship ended, don't disagree with him. Find the truth in what he's saying, acknowledge it and apologize for it. It's better to be happy and loved than to be right. Wanting to be right is your ego stepping in and overshadowing your soul's desire to be happy and loved.
2. Don't try to convince him of all the reasons why he should come back to you. Trying to convince your ex why he should come back to you pushes him further away. It reinforces why he's better off without you because you appear needy and desperate. Needy and desperate are traits that will kill any attraction he may have for you.
Men are drawn to women who are happy with themselves. So, be happy, live your life and let your radiant energy cause him to second guess why you're not together. Remember, you are a prize. You should never have to convince him to be with you. Keep reading ...

On Thursday the AP reported that smoke from wildfires in farms and plantations in Sumatra's Riau province near Dumai has sent air pollution levels in Singapore to the worst levels ever recorded, with pollution significantly higher than the records set during the massive drought induced wildfire disaster of 1997. While haze from Indonesian wildfires has become an almost regular yearly occurance, the AP quoted Singapore's environmental minister who wrote that this year's was the worst the country had ever seen.
The fires have put perennial strains on relations between Indonesia and its neighbors, particularly Singapore and Malaysia, and this year is no different. Today's front page of Kompas led with a huge photo of Singapore skyscrapers shrouded in hazy smoke, and the headline read that the Singapore PM is promising to issue sanctions if the responsible parties are not exposed and punished.
For those familiar with Indonesian environmental history, the news that this year's smoke is worse than 1997 is somewhat surprising. Back in 1997, massive wildfires swept across vast stretches of Sumatra and Kalimantan destroying millions of hectares of forest. The devastated areas and the smoke they billowed were big enough to be clearly visible from space, captivating Euro-American audiences as they watched tropical paradise burned to the ground. As Anthropologist Anna Tsing wrote in her 2004 book, Friction, the smoke and flame produced a crisis of visibility and culpability—who was to blame? While people living near the fires blamed transnational logging and agricultural corporations for the fires, the Indonesian state officially blamed small scale farmers who use fired to clear land for cultivation.The question of blame and the apparent inaction of the Indonesian government serves as a good introduction to the complex clientelist relationships between the various state bureaucracies charged with care of land and environment and the industrial corporations who profit from resource exploitation—especially the combined forces of logging and oil palm cultivation. Illegal clearing of protected forests for example, might be carried out by a company otherwise acting fully within the bounds of the law and under the auspices of one or more of the environmental/forestry/land bureaus. While the phrase "illegal logging" conjures up images of small bands of criminals stealing valuable protected timber, the reality in Indonesia is more often that a transnational corporation "accidentally" oversteps its concession to clear protected or state-owned forest. Or alternatively, that multiple, coinciding mapping schemes and land use plans can show that a single forest is protected one the one hand and fair game for logging on another.
This time around the Indonesian government is again blaming small farmers for starting the fires. However given the location and frequency of recent fires suggest a source in plantation or logging corporations (possibly foreign owned) using fire to clear land, a practice that although illegal, is widely practiced (see for example, the case of the Tripa fires of 2012). Furthermore, given that small farmers will be affected by climate change more than any other group in the coming years, such accusations may amount to blaming the victim while guilty corporations enjoy blanket impunity.
Indeed, Kompas reports that the fires may have started in a Acacia plantation which has apparently been burning since last Tuesday. Meanwhile, at least one woman has been killed by the fires and many others injured. Worse yet, there has been almost no media discussion of the certainly massive damage to small-holder gardens and farms in the affected area, with nearly all sympathy going to the down-stream victims of the drifting smoke.
In 1997, the fires were a more or less unprecedented disaster in terms of scale and damage. But with the frequency and damage caused on the increase, one can't help but wonder what the fires will be like a few years from now as the climate continues to warm. In Indonesia, climate change (rightly) conjures a lot of worry about sea level rises and the potential for hundreds or thousands of islands to be swallowed up, but as this year's fires are showing, there are other, less clearly predictable disasters that may ensue.

Naturalisation in Germany
If you are living in Germany permanently, you can, under certain conditions, become naturalised. To do so, you must first submit an application. You can submit this application yourself once you have had your 16th birthday. Parents must make the application on behalf of children and young people under the age of 16.
You can obtain application forms from the naturalisation authorities responsible. You can find out here which authority is responsible for your naturalisation process:
- the local foreign affairs offices for your town or community
- the youth migration services
- the immigration advice service for adult immigrants
- the town council or local authority.
display as hint: TIP:
Naturalisation costs EUR 255 per person. For minors who are to be naturalised with their parents, there is a fee of EUR 51. Minors who are to be naturalised without their parents must also pay EUR 255. If you are on a low wage or have several children who will be naturalised (with you), the fee can be reduced, or payment in instalments can be agreed.
You have a right to naturalisation if you fulfil the following conditions:
- Unrestricted right of residence at the time of being naturalised
- You have passed the naturalisation test (knowledge of the legal and social order, and living conditions in Germany)
- Your ordinary and legitimate place of residence has been in Germany for eight years (this period can be reduced to seven years with successful attendance at an integration course, and can also be reduced to six years in the case of special integration measures)
- You have independent means of securing a living (including for family members entitled to maintenance) without resorting to welfare payments and unemployment benefit II (Hartz IV)
- You have adequate German-language skills
- You do not have any convictions on account of a criminal offence
- You are committed to the free democratic constitutional order of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany.
- You have lost or renounced your former nationality
display as attention: Important information
Regulations for children
Children born in Germany have an automatic right to German nationality if their mother, their father or both parents are German. Children of foreign nationals take German nationality when born in Germany if, at the time of their birth, Germany has been the ordinary and legitimate place of residence of at least one parent for eight years and if that parent has unlimited right of residence. Children must decide between their 18th and 23rd birthdays if they wish to take German nationality or keep the nationality of their parents.

Sun Bancorp Inc. Stock Upgraded (SNBC)
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
- SUN BANCORP INC/NJ reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. We feel that this trend should continue. This trend suggests that the performance of the business is improving. During the past fiscal year, SUN BANCORP INC/NJ continued to lose money by earning -$1.26 versus -$7.31 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings (-$0.33 versus -$1.26).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Commercial Banks industry. The net income increased by 182.1% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$1.60 million to $1.31 million.
- Despite the weak revenue results, SNBC has outperformed against the industry average of 16.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 1.0%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Commercial Banks industry and the overall market, SUN BANCORP INC/NJ's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- In its most recent trading session, SNBC has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.

Ian Kinsler #5 of the Texas Rangers hits an RBI single to score Derek Holland #45 in the seventh inning during Game Six of the MLB World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
Ian Kinsler has done something over the past two days that Texas Rangers fans just aren't very used to seeing, especially since Kinsler moved into the team's leadoff role.
Kinsler has struck out six times in his last two games, and 11 times in his past 10 games. That's one of Kinsler's redeeming qualities is that he just doesn't strike out very often, and since becoming the team's leadoff man he's made a conscious effort to draw more walks.
Those past two games, however, have been hard to watch.
Kinsler now has more strikeouts (24) than walks (19) this season. Yes, we're only a quarter of the way through the season, so don't freak out, but just look at last year when Kinsler walked 89 times compared to 71 strikeouts.
Tonight, Kinsler will go up against Seattle's Felix Hernandez, who he has 57 career at-bats against with nine strikeouts and a career .211 batting average. The Rangers have historically had a pretty good go against Hernandez, and King Felix has been knocked around this year, but tonight's matchup probably isn't one you'd want to see if you're coming off six strikeouts in your past two games.

Recent star news reports that Lauryn Hill has plead guilty to tax evasion and is currently facing up to 3 years in prison.
As a scary lesson to fellow celebrity tax evader, R. Kelly, Lauryn Hill has finally admitted to her stingy ways… and is looking forward getting ready to be thrown into the slammer for around 3 years and to pay with fines of worth $75,000.
Ms. Hill, who was recently arrested for the federal crime and released on $150,000 bail, pled guilty and answered "Yes" to "intentionally and willingly" failing to file tax returns in the past 10 years.
TMZ reported earlier this week:
"Hill pled guilty today to three counts of failure to file tax returns for the years 2005, 2006, and 2007 — when she earned more than $1.8 million."
Her hearing will resume in November.
Are you sad that Lauryn could be jailed for tax evasion?

Vladimir Bukovsky, the legendary Russian dissident who spent 12 years in prisons, labor camps and psychiatric hospitals for his "anti-Soviet activity," famously faulted Western media in the 1980s for their confusing terminology, which resulted in curious statements about the "Russian" invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and the protests against it by "Soviet" academician Andrei Sakharov. This linguistic mix-up between the oppressor and the oppressed is resurfacing with Vladimir Putin's aggression against Ukraine: Many analysts and journalists cite "Russian" threats, the "Russian" invasion and the need for sanctions on "Russia."
The truth is that most Russians oppose intervention in Ukraine. Even the state-run Russian Public Opinion Research Center found last month that 73 percent of Russians are against it. The unanimous vote by unelected "senators" last week granting Putin's request to use military force in Ukraine illustrates the unrepresentative and authoritarian nature of Russia's political system. Consider the irony that, while Putin's officials justified the invasion by citing the need to "protect Russians in Ukraine," Putin's police forces were arresting and beating Russians on the streets of Moscow and St. Petersburg for protesting against war. More than 300 people were arrested Sunday alone.

Russia's opposition leaders, including Boris Nemtsov and Alexei Navalny, did not take part in these protests. Conveniently for the Kremlin, they have been in jail for days after their arrest last week for participating in a separate anti-Putin rally. That demonstration was held to protest the hefty prison sentences — ranging from 2 1/2 to four years — handed out to opposition activists who rallied against Putin's inauguration in May 2012. According to the human rights group Memorial, Russia now has 40 political prisoners. The Kremlin's crackdown also targets the remaining independent media outlets, including TV Rain and Ekho Moskvy radio.
The Russian opposition has made its stance clear. In a statement from prison, Nemtsov referred to Putin's occupation of Ukraine as "madness of a deranged KGB officer." The People's Freedom Party that Nemtsov co-chairs with former prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov accused the Kremlin of "an unwillingness . . . to recognize the Ukrainian people's sovereign right to decide its own fate." And while Navalny cannot comment publicly — he was transferred in recent days to house arrest that prohibits him from communicating with the outside world — his Progress Party has declared Putin's war on Ukraine "a reckless policy" that "goes against the interests of our country."
The international community should respond to Putin's aggression by sanctioning its perpetrators. In particular, the list of Russian human rights abusers banned from traveling to and keeping assets in the United States under the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act must be dramatically expanded to include senior Kremlin officials responsible for the attack on Ukraine and the crackdown against Russian citizens. One hopes that the European Union would soon follow with its own version of the Magnitsky sanctions. Those who commit acts of aggression and abuse the rights of their own citizens should not be entitled to the privileges and comfort of the democratic West. It is time for the Kremlin's corrupt cronies to be held responsible for their actions.
As for Putin, he would benefit from learning some Russian history. "Small victorious wars" — the phrase coined by czarist interior minister Vyacheslav Plehve with regard to Russia's war on Japan in the early 20th century — have tended not to end well for their instigators. The Crimean War in the 19th century demonstrated the economic and technological backwardness of the autocratic system and showed the need for political, social, judicial, military and economic reforms, including the abolition of serfdom and the establishment of elected local self-government and trial by jury. The Russo-Japanese war, contrary to Plehve's intent, led to the first Russian revolution and forced the regime to grant a parliament and recognize political and civil liberties. World War I contributed to the collapse of the czarist system. The Afghanistan invasion precipitated the disintegration of the Soviet dictatorship. Putin may yet regret the day he decided to send troops into Ukraine.

We are goof ball entrepreneurs building Startup Island and created a business card using the specific color spectrums to view everything in 3D by looking THROUGH YOUR BUSINESS CARD. We are happy to help companies build these, and shoot you guys the vector files. www.startupisland.tv
The 3D Business Cards are complete! #3dbusinesscard
Introducing the world's first 3D business cards! When they are vertical, it uses the transparent blue to become the water and the red to become the sunlight. On the back there is a unique Bit.ly sticker with the Islanders unique contact page link. When the individual goes there the whole page is in 3D when you look THROUGH the business card horizantally….the most bad @ss business card ever.
Here is the story:
- The only reason we would hand out a business card would be to help people remember and hold something to take them to the website.
- Therefore the important part is the link on the Business Card so how do we make that experience bad a$$? By reinventing the experience. So make it 3D! (check out this example and this example, or this weird 3D video guy).
- We mocked up the designs you see above and called Plastic Printers. Our friend Nick was stoked and a bro over the whole thing. Not only was he encouraging and helpful to figure out this whole thing, he asked the CEO of the company to send the card as an example of the coolest card he has seen. They are double timing proofs and they will be rolling off the press in the next couple weeks.
- Finally, we want you to do this, we don't care. We are happy to license the copyright to anyone, shoot us an email! And we will send you the color spectrum (took forever to find) to make your own 3D cards. Finally we used "parallax" tech to optimize 3D coming off of digital displays.
Want your own? We will have a quick web generator up soon to auto make your contact information 3D and an at cost way to order your own cards.

Trade-Ideas: Ann (ANN) Is Today's "Barbarian At The Gate" Stock
- ANN has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $33.1 million.
- ANN has traded 3.6 million shares today.
- ANN traded in a range 225.6% of the normal price range with a price range of $2.00.
- ANN traded above its daily resistance level (quality: 20 days, meaning that the stock is crossing a resistance level set by the last 20 calendar days. The resistance price is defined by the Price - $0.01 at the time of the signal).
Stocks matching the 'Barbarian at the Gate' criteria are worthwhile stocks to watch for a variety of factors including historical back testing and volatility. Trade-Ideas targets these opportunities because the stock is exhibiting an unusual behavior while displaying positive price action. In this case, the stock crossed an important inflection point; namely, 'resistance' while at the same time the range of the stock s movement in price is more than twice its normal size. This large range foreshadows a possible continuation as the stock moves higher. EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Get the inside scoop on opportunities in ANN with the Ticky from Trade-Ideas.

ANN has a PE ratio of 16.6. Currently there are 7 analysts that rate Ann a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and 8 rate it a hold. The average volume for Ann has been 1.0 million shares per day over the past 30 days. Ann has a market cap of $1.5 billion and is part of the services sector and retail industry. The stock has a beta of 1.30 and a short float of 11% with 5.24 days to cover. Shares are down 3.6% year to date as of the close of trading on Thursday. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Ann as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, reasonable valuation levels, increase in stock price during the past year, expanding profit margins and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- ANN's revenue growth trails the industry average of 14.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.5%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, regardless of the company's weak earnings results. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- ANN INC's earnings per share declined by 24.1% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ANN INC increased its bottom line by earning $2.10 versus $1.63 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.16 versus $2.10).
- The gross profit margin for ANN INC is rather high; currently it is at 60.20%. Regardless of ANN's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 3.63% trails the industry average.

Borderlands 2 + Xbox 360, anyone have it?
I need new people to play with. The only person I currently do play with is never online to play it, haha.
Lvl 61 Mecromancer of Carnage, lets play!
I need new people to play with. The only person I currently do play with is never online to play it, haha.
Lvl 61 Mecromancer of Carnage, lets play!
1. What was the first game you ever played?
-Tetris (Original GameBoy)
2. PC or console?
-Console - And if I had to choose present day, PS3.
3. Do you prefer the single player campaign or multiplayer?
-Single player. I have never a) Gotten along with people. b) Felt COMFORTABLE playing with other people. c) Wanted to play with other people. I'm a hardcore loner, and I'd like to keep it that way.
4. Do you prefer to own a physical copy of a game disc or are you happy with direct downloads?
-Physical Copy. What if my account gets hacked? What if I don't want that account anymore? What if I want physical proof that I spent my money on something?
5. Are you more likely to buy a game on console because of achievements/trophies?
-Nope. Unless they come out with a game titled '5000 trophies just for starting a new game". Then of course I'm down.
6. What was the best preorder gift you ever received?
-Probably the Okamiden Stylus Cloth set.
7. What is your favorite genre?
-First Person Shooters.
8. What is your least favourite genre?
9. Regarding MMO's: Do you prefer the P2P, B2P or F2P system? Explain your answer.
-F2P. I will never pay monthly for a game. I'm sorry but $15 x 12 = $180. $180 for a GAME? It better be GOTY encased in Gold, with a box set soundtrack that will clean my apartment.
10. What is your opinion on micro transactions?
-I'll admit it. I've paid real world money for digital items. All companies need to eat. Granted, they eat better than I do, but that's just technicalities.
11. Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo? (Please consider entire span of company's career)
-I can honestly say all three of them bring something different to the table for me. No favorite here.
12. Who is your favourite publisher?
-Rockstar > Konami > Gearbox.
13. What is the longest time you've spent playing one game? (must be in a continuous, single sitting)
-6 to 8 hours.
14. Your most memorable gaming moment?
-It's a bad one, but boy is it memorable. I had just gotten Undead Nightmare (RDR) for the XBOX 360. So stoked. Played 6 hours. XBOX360 RROD. Fine. I'm not the one to replay ANYTHING. My attention span? That of a rodent. 6 months later. I decide to suck it up and get the game again. But this time, on the PS3. Play 6 hours. YLOD (Yellow Light of Death for those not too familiar with PS3 fails). SAME game. Crashes TWO systems within 6 months. Uck.
15. Who is your favourite video game character and why?
-Solid Snake.
16. Name a critically acclaimed game you could never understand the hype about.
-Portal. :x
17. Would you consider people who only play casual games to be 'gamers'?
-Like Wii Tennis? No.
18. When given the choice, will you choose a predesigned character (with minimal tweaking) or start from scratch on your own?
-Scratch. That bitch may look derp when I'm done, but at least it looks like me. …Sort of.
19. Are graphics important to you? Will you still play the old 8-bit classics if the gameplay is engaging enough?
-I'll play Pokemon and Mario for the rest of my life. But anything else, forget it.
20. In your opinion, what is a highly underrated game?
21. Which, if any, handheld systems do you play?
-Nintendo DSI XL, some PSP on occasion.
22. Do you consider motion controls to be a gimmick or are they a step forward for the industry?
-Trying to make us American's less fat. It's not working. D:
23. How do you feel about Collectors Editions for games?
-It depends. If it has good loot, it's a winner. But GOOD loot.
24. Are games art?
-Absolutely. The only thing anyone ever sees is the finished, digital product. No one ever sees the concept artist slaving away under a lamp with his #2 pencil.
25. What are your thoughts on games which are movie tie-ins?
-They're horrible. They're always horrible. Just stop. Let's look at DOOM the Movie, shall we? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
26. What is your opinion on Digital Rights Management? (DRM)
-ARRRRG. Us Pirates will always find a way.
27. How do you respond to the claims that console gaming is 'dead' with the rise of mobile games?
-I love my console over phone games. Though, I should have no say in this. I own a Windows 7 phone which has NO games. Thus I don't play games on my phone. BUT, I am familiar with the iPhone market, I had an iPod Touch once and played the shit out of it, BUT, the battery dies too damn easy. So again, console.
28. Which game were you looking forward to that turned out to be a major disappointment?
-I really can't say I've been hyped up for anything that's let me down. Ask me this again when Borderlands 2 comes out. :x
29. What are your top 5 all time favourite games?
-Red Dead Redemption, Metal Gear Solid, Borderlands, Dragon Age, Pokemon Silver.
30. Name the top 3 games you're looking forward to playing.
-Borderlands 2, Black Ops 2, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

The Wrap
In a move that could signal his departure as the host of "American Idol," Ryan Seacrest and his production company are talking with NBC about developing anothere musical competition series, the New York Post reports.
Find: More 'Idol' gossip, news and
NBC's head of alternative programming, Paul Telegdy, told the paper that the proposed project -- said to be still in the embryonic stages of development -- would be "another music concept, which is a totally different kind of competition show."
Also read: Ryan Seacrest exposed as Larry King's 'jeans supplier' on 'Conan' (Video)
So how would it differ from Seacrest's current gig? According to Telegdy, "It is self-contained episodes. It is a bit more fun. It's not contestant competitive. It's artist competitive."
So would Fox and "Idol's" producers be cool with Seacrest producing -- or even hosting -- a show that might have similar themes?
At least the Post, which headlined its report, "Is Ryan Seacrest Preparing to Leave 'Idol'?" thinks it might be.
Seacrest has only one year left on his contract with CKX, the parent company of "Idol" producer 19 Entertainment -- a $45 million deal he signed back in July 2009
Seacrest has so many producing irons in the fire right now -- including ABC's "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" and the seemingly ever-expanding Kardashians stable of shows on E! -- that it's difficult to imagine him picking up another one without spontaneously combusting.
Seacrest's Ryan Seacrest Productions already has a deal to develop eight new shows for the network.

A is for awesom B is for bobbert C is for cookie D is for dragon E is for ...E F is for Frankie Pie G is for Gerdy Poo (ohemgee f is on top of g) H is for Hana
Hana left, and Mikey told us why sye was so pissed.
"So Ray, her cousin, is moving in with her?" I asked. And putting reality and my dreams together, Ray is Jet Star. Frank nudged my ribs with his elbow, telling me to tell Mikey about us. I shook my head, I didn't have to tell him. He can just figure it out on his own.
The blondette leaned back, and looked at Frank and I. "So whats going on between you two?"
I immediately hid behind my black curtain of hair. Hearing the most adorable high-pitched giggle coming from Frank. Our fingers intertwined with each other, and I brought his hand up to my lips, kissing every knuckle.
"Awwwwww you guys are so cute!" my brother yelled.
I blushed, and snook a glance at Frank. And to my surprise he was looking right at me. He leaned in, as did I, and connected our lips.
Fun Ghoul and I were laying in the back of Scarred Torch's truck, my fingers running up and down his bare torso. I love you Ghoul, I whispered. I don't think I've ever told you that.
He grabbed my head, and kissed my lips. You do, everyday.
No I don't, I never do.
He sat on top of my waist, and started to kiss my face over and over again. When he finally got to my lips, he licked my bottom lip for entry. I allowed his tongue in, wrestling with my own. My hands started to tug his long brown hair, getting moans of approval from him. Fun Ghoul finally pulled away, by chewing on my lip.
And that's how you tell me you love me.
"Gerard?" I heard Frank ask. Opening my eyes, I saw that we were in my room, and he had a worried look on his face. "Yeah hun?"
"What were you dreaming of?"
"What do you mean?"
He blushed, and avoided eye contact for a bit, "You were pretty loud. So tell me, what was it of?"
Now I blushed, I couldn't tell him. But then again, he wouldn't understand it. Sure it was of him, but it wasn't HIM.
Frank shook his head, "I get it. If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to."
"Oh God thank you Frank!" I squealed hugging and kissing him. "I love you!"
"You...you do?" he asked pushing me away.
"Yeah, and uh that was sorta the main part of my dream."
He hugged me, and kissed any part of my face he can find.

"Ivor Gurney" web sites
8 online resources.
- Ivor Gurney
- This is a blog about Ivor Gurney (1890-1937), the composer and poet, who served with the Gloucestershire Regiment in the First World War (1914-1918). The blog is written by Philip Lancaster, who is working on the manuscripts of Gurney held in the Gloucestershire Archives and is a committee member of the Ivor Gurney Society. It describes his research on the music and poetry and letters of Gurney, his preparing of Gurney and others' musical scores for performance, recording and publication, and his work with Prof. Tim Kendall (University of Exeter) transcribing and editing Gurney's compl…
- Ivor Gurney : poet-composer 1890-1937
- The official website of the Ivor Gurney Society, this resource is dedicated to Ivor Gurney (1890-1937), who was an English poet and composer who fought in the First World War and later succumbed to mental illness, spending the last 15 years of his life in institutions. He wrote war poetry and composed hundreds of songs and pieces of instrumental music, mostly for the piano. The website contains biographies of Gurney and of some of his musical contemporaries and personal friends, including the Australian composer Arthur Benjamin, Joy Finzi (artist, sculptor, poet, musician and wife of G…

His occasional posts are always insightful and focus in particular on his current research interests: American poet Robert Frost (1874-1963), and the poetry of Frost and Edward Thomas (1878-1917); and (with Philip Lancaster) Ivor Gurney's poems. As well as the author's opinions some of his posts can be …
