NEW Fluid Audio FX8
Coaxial design brings high-end studio technology to the masses
Unlike any monitor in it's price range, the FX8s employ a dual concentric driver – sometimes called a "coaxial". Coaxial drivers, found in such world renowned monitors as the Manley ML10, sound great because all frequencies coming from the tweeter and woofer radiate from the exact same position. This is critical for accurate off-axis response as well as phase coherence. The built-in waveguide provides it with wide dispersion and an expansive sweet spot. Listen for yourself!
- Bi-amplified design with 130 watts of Class A/B power for coherent and accurate sound reproduction
- 8" low frequency drivers with composite paper cones for powerful and dynamic lows
- Coaxial mounted 1.2" silk dome hi-frequency drivers with integrated waveguides create a flat response and point-source accuracy
- Optimized, front-loaded slot port for direct radiating low frequency energy
- Magnetic shielding eliminates interference with other electronic equipment
- XLR balanced. 1/4" balanced and RCA unbalanced inputs for connecting mixers, interfaces, etc
- Unique fader volume control on front baffle for easy access
- External amplifier heat sink to maximize efficiency while keeping temperature low
- Includes two acoustic isolation pads

Waldorf Pulse 2 Now Shipping
Powerful Analog Synthesizer
Pulse 2 Analog Synthesizer is proof positive that good things can come to those who wait. For ever since this high-quality synthesizer developer discontinued its original rack-mountable Pulse and Pulse+ programmable analogue monosynths boasting ballsy bass tones and legendary leads beyond compare, those Nineties electronic music dominating sounds have been severely sought-after by those in the know. Which was exactly what drove us into development overdrive to produce an all-new Pulse fit for the 21st Century.
As an all-new, all-analogue synthesizer design, Pulse 2 flawlessly delivers exactly what synth connoisseurs around the world have been truly craving for quite some time — three analogue oscillators living in perfect harmony with a VCF (VoltageControlled Filter), yet we did not stop there: the fresh filter circuits in the Pulse 2 now offer 12dB Highpass and Bandpass modes in addition to 24dB/12dB Lowpass for strengthened sound-sculpting flexibility, while we added analogue Filter FM, two Overdrive circuits, and Ring Modulation from OSC 3, together with Paraphonic and Unison modes allowing up to eight-voice chords — a fantastic feature found on our recently-released Rocket Synthesizer.
Pulse 2 is housed in a sturdy metal desktop casing. Alongside its generous 128x64-character backlit LCD, eight eye-catching stainless steel knobs are available to nimbly navigate through the parameter matrix — logically laid out across the front panel for all to see at all times, set the master Volume, and easily edit display-accessible parameters.

Taunton, MA
Finding a church or religious group that suits your need is possible in Taunton since it is home to a wide array of religions. A large number of churches are located within the city, including the First Parish Church located at Church Green. The church was founded in 1637 and was constructed before the town was even incorporated. The Pilgrim Congregational Church was first opened in 1821 and continues to host a large congregation. One of the city's oldest churches is St. Mary's Church, which is still in operation. Houses of worship for non-Christian religions can be found in Taunton as well.
Also known as the city's square, "The Green" was originally used as a training place for the American Revolutionary soldiers. Beginning many years ago however, the area has been transformed into a Christmas wonderland in order for you to join in on the community spirit during the holidays. The grand display of lights and scenes transform the square and helped Taunton earn the nickname "Christmas City." A wide variety of events for you to enjoy also take place including live music, visits from Santa, and delicious food. Other holiday happenings can also be found throughout the year.

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
The National Lighting Bureau's 31st annual High-Benefit Lighting Awards Program is under way. If you've been involved in a project that makes use of high-benefit lighting, make sure you enter the project for consideration.
The National Lighting Bureau coined the term "high-benefit lighting" to indicate "function-focused" electric-illumination systems designed to fulfill the specific purposes for which they will be used – especially to maximize bottom-line returns for those who own, manage, and/or rely on the lighting.
High-benefit lighting installed in workspaces can help people work faster because it comprises electric illumination designed for the specific space, tasks, and people involved. Just a 1-percent productivity improvement can save an employer $300 annually for each worker who is paid $30,000 per year. The cost of the electric energy the employer spends to provide electric illumination to an employee? Probably less than $50 each year.
Outdoors, high-benefit lighting can help prevent accidents of all types, thus preventing the losses associated with filing insurance claims, absenteeism, administrative paperwork, accident clean-up, negative publicity, and litigation. Fewer accidents can also result in lower insurance premiums. In retail situations, better lighting can improve customer attraction and stimulate purchasing.
For consideration in the 2010 High-Benefit Lighting Awards Program, your entry must be received by Oct. 31, 2010. The entry should document how modification of an existing lighting system or installation of a new one improved productivity, increased retail sales, or achieved any of the many other bottom-line benefits of high-benefit lighting.

Pardon the suspension, if you will.ESPN benched Pardon the Interruption host Tony Kornheiser for two weeks, effective this past Monday, after he made comments about the attire of fellow ESPN host Hannah Storm. But was the punishment the proper recourse?ESPN suspends Tony Kornheiser for bashing Hannah StormKornheiser, 67, said Storm's get-up was "like a Holden Caulfield fantasy" and that she looked like "she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body." Being blunt and biting is his trademark, though, so was Storm, 47, fair game? Is ESPN overreacting? Or are colleagues — and their fashion senses — off limits?
Yes, his comments were inappropriate.
No, Storm's outfit was inappropriate.

Bad Religion Performs "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" On Late Night TV
Bad Religion's well-received Christmas album, Christmas Songs, was released earlier this year on Epitaph. In January the band also released their 16th studio album, True North, making 2013 a monumental year of two special Bad Religion records.
This week, Christmas Songs came in at number 7 on the Billboard Hard Rock chart and number 17 on the Billboard Independent Album chart. And in the true spirit of giving, 20% of proceeds from Christmas Songs will be donated to SNAP, Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests. Additionally, Bad Religion has bestowed daily "gifts" to fans, via their own Bad Religion advent calendar, launched on December 1. Fans are encouraged to visit the site badreligion.com to "unlock" daily reveals. Gifts have included free track downloads, merchandise coupons, a holiday card generator, and the most popular gift – a per click donation from Bad Religion to a food bank, generating approximately $10k for charity, crashing the site, and seeing the band at number 1 on Reddit.com for the day.
Co-songwriter and guitarist Brett Gurewitz calls Christmas Songs the "most subversive album we've done". While co-songwriter and vocalist Greg Graffin got his start singing in grade school and has a personal connection to these songs. Listen to Gurewitz and Graffin talk about Christmas Songs on NPR Weekend Edition with host Rachel Martin here.
In a world still brimming with rampant anti-intellectualism, inequality and oppression, Bad Religion's signature brand of sonically charged humanist dissent is as relevant as ever. And this Christmas season, just a little more ironic.
Fans are invited to order the album, just in time for holidays, by visiting iTunes or badreligionstore.com.
Press Accolades for Christmas Songs:
"The album is definitely tongue-in-cheek but suggests a real affection for these standards, putting Bad Religion in a long line of acts that find religion interesting even if they don't believe in it for a second." – Los Angeles Times
"It's goddamn Bad Religion playing goddamn Christmas songs and sounding like they're having a great time doing it." – Popmatters

LLNL/MIT team creates ultralight, ultrastiff metamaterials; possible applications for automotive and aerospace
June 20, 2014
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed materials with the same weight and density as aerogel ("frozen smoke") but with 10,000 times more stiffness using additive micro-manufacturing processes. The research team's findings are published in an article in the journal Science.
The micro-architected metamaterials maintain a nearly constant stiffness per unit mass density, even at ultralow density. This performance derives from a network of nearly isotropic microscale unit cells with high structural connectivity and nanoscale features, the structural members of which are designed to carry loads in tension or compression, the researchers said. Materials with these properties could someday be used to develop parts and components for aircraft, automobiles and space vehicles.

New robotic friction stir welding method for mixed materials; potential application for battery integration
June 11, 2014
|New friction stir welding tool also functions as a temperature sensor for improved quality. Click to enlarge.
Researchers at University West in Trollhättan have addressed two drawbacks to the robotic friction stir welding (FSW) joining process for mixed materials—path accuracy and temperature—with the development of a deflection model and integral temperature controller.
Car manufacturers are increasingly looking to a hybrid or mixed materials design, in which a combination of different materials such as steel and aluminium are joined, for weight reductions in their vehicles. With classic welding methods, joining of dissimilar materials has not been possible. With friction stir welding (FSW), on the other hand, high quality dissimilar joints can be obtained. (Earlier post.) The use of industrial robots also allows FSW of materials along complex joint lines.

May 27, 2014
|New two-wet monocoat paint process. Click to enlarge.
Ford began production of the North American Transit at Kansas City Assembly Plant on 30 April, and vans will be available in US and Canada this summer. Transit vehicles built in Kansas City are the first to use a new two-wet monocoat paint process developed by Ford and its paint suppliers. The technology results in more durable paint, uses less energy and water, and reduces carbon dioxide and particulate emissions compared with conventional paint processes.
The new paint was subjected to testing simulating typical conditions the vehicle will see over 10 year—e.g., resistance to chipping and scratching, pollutants and sun exposure. Data from preliminary advanced weathering testing indicates that paint applied with the new two-wet technology will retain 90% of its gloss at four years in service compared to 1% gloss retention for paint applied using a conventional monocoat process.

|Left: Wet flood machining. Right: MQL machining. Graphics: Unist Inc. Click to enlarge.
Ford Motor Company has added its near-dry machining process—Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL)—to six plants globally, a number that will nearly double in the next few years.
Machining metal pieces generates friction and heat. Conventional wet machining floods the work piece with metal-working fluids, requiring large amounts of fluid to cool and lubricate the cutting tools. MQL eliminates conventional flood coolant from the machining processes, lubricating cutting tools with a fine spray of oil directed exactly when and where it is needed. MQL reduces oil mist generation; biological contamination of coolant; waste water volume; costs for capital equipment; and regulatory permitting. MQL also improves recycling and transport of coolant contaminated chips.

Address decoder
In digital electronics, an address decoder is a decoder circuit that has two or more bits of an address bus as inputs and that has one or more device selection lines as outputs.[1]
When the address for a particular device appears on the address bus, the address decoder asserts the selection line for that device. A separate single-device address decoder may be incorporated into each device on an address bus, or a single address decoder may serve multiple devices.[2]
When a single address decoder serves multiple devices, an address decoder with n address input bits can serve up to 2n separate devices. Several members of the 7400 series of integrated circuit are address decoders. An example is the 74154.[3] This address decoder has four address inputs and sixteen (i.e., 24) device selector outputs. An address decoder is also referred to as a "demultiplexer" or "demux", although these terms are more general and can refer to devices other than address decoders. The 74154 mentioned above can be called a "4-to-16 demux".
Address decoders are fundamental building blocks for systems that use buses. They are represented in all integrated circuit families and processes and in all standard FPGA and ASIC libraries. They are discussed in introductory textbooks in digital logic design.[1]

It's pretty clear that the left is like a bunch of parasites that invade a specic area; they do their damage and just move. They never take any blame for their failues and continue to just demonize others so the blame goes elsewhere and at the end of the day everyone has to pay for the mistakes. No matter where you look, when there is a strong Democratic Party influence, things are a mess. Just look at Michigan, New York, California, and a bunch of other states who are influenced by the Democratic Party and you can understand the problems liberalism creates.

Connecticut State Representative - Rachel Tambling
Rachel started running on a track in high school, and quickly fell in love with the feeling of running. Even then, she loved the process of training, meeting new people, running in interesting areas, and challenging herself to achieve new goals.
On May 9, 2010, while playing soccer, a scuffle for the ball resulted in a traumatic knee injury. Following surgery a few weeks later, Rachel woke up asking when she could run again. In November of 2011, she was given doctor's permission to begin running again. Regaining her strength as a runner has been a painful, wonderful, challenging process.
Rachel is an RRCA certified running coach, a RRCA member club president, and professional pacer. She's also a yoga teacher, sometimes Crossfitter, athlete of all trades, and works as a college professor at University of Connecticut.

Doug Sloan'69 Plymouth Barracuda
This is raw, unadulterated power. Doug Sloan's '69 'Cuda rumbled up to the True Street Challenge area, turning a lot of heads. We thought to ourselves, How could something this monstrous fare well in this friendly competition that is about more than just a timeslip? Well, during the cruise session, the A-Body proved docile and friendly in stop and go-something nobody expected. when it came time for the passes, Doug's Barracuda didn't let us down there either, posting consistent 10-second slips all weekend on motor.
Powering this animal down the track is not a big-block, but a numbers-matching 340. It's no longer that small, though. Doug's brother, Brian Sloan, built the engine, and it's now a more robust 394 cubes. The forged Callies Dragon Slayer crankshaft is attached to Eagle steel rods and CP pistons. The healthy 11:1 compression ratio runs nicely on pump gas and is delivered through an Edelbrock Super Victor intake via a custom-built Holley HP 750 carburetor.
With the car perfectly set up, Doug enjoys running brackets and competed against the other Mopars all weekend.
Don Riley'73 Plymouth Duster
What we liked about Don Riley's '73 Duster wasn't just its performance or the fact that it was a father/son project. It was that Don loved to drive the car, do smoky burnouts, and race regularly. He bought the car in early 2002 for he and his sons, John and Andrew, to build and enjoy together.
Now on its third engine, this Duster was hot lapping with mid-11-second passes. An LA 410-inch small-black sits underneath the hood. KB pistons rated for 11:1 compression, Forged H-beam rods, and a Mopar stroker crank make up the rotating assembly. A Comp Cams .635/.632-inch lift, 252/262-degree duration camshaft keeps the valves open.
The week before the True Street Challenge, Don busted his four-speed. He converted the car over to an automatic right before the event and wasn't able to optimize the setup, but he still ran some great passes!

Disable BBEdit's 'APE' crash warning
I'd love to turn off the entire whinging after crash dialog. I never have BBEdit crash, it's always due to not waking up from sleep, or a kernel panic or something. I don't want to be told by BBEdit that I crashed - I know I did already!

This is why I had to stop using Mailsmith; I was sick of it telling me (in a really snippy tone) that WindowShade caused problems that I know happened inside a device driver.

Welcome to "Starcast" – an absorbing look into what the Cosmos has in store for the 12 sun-signs. Forever moving forward, the Moon and the planets simply won't stop. And all this constant activity has a direct effect on everyone. It matters, not in the least, where you live on Earth. You'll most definitely feel its influence somewhere within your Life.
A perfect illustration: the New Moon (when the Sun and the Moon are perfectly aligned in the same sun-sign) occurs tomorrow, Saturday, June 8, 2013 at 11:57 a.m. (ET) in the delightful, dynamic, and mischievous sun-sign of Gemini, the Twins. Now, everyone has Gemini ruling one of the twelve houses within their own birth chart. The result: Everyone is influenced by whatever planetary activity occurs within this particular sun-sign. So, the New Moon (new starts that unfold favorably over the next 10 to 12 days) is the perfect time to initiate new plans, new projects, new relationships. Focus on the plan, project, and relationship. Do what needs to be done. Wait. Repeat, in necessary. Adjust, it needed.
Noteworthy: Project Gemini was America's second (1964-66) man-in-space program following Project Mercury (Gemini's planetary ruler), America's first. Authorized by Congress in 1961 as a step toward landing on the Moon, Gemini – with its two-person crew – was named for this third constellation of the zodiac. Defined by the twin stars, Castor and Pollux – its very name, Gemini, is Latin for Twins. Among those houses: Visualize a numerical (1 through 12) clock. That's the zodiac wheel; that's your birth chart, too, in which each pie-shaped wedge (5 to 4 o'clock, for example) is a house – an area of activity (love, money – in every currency imaginable – work, and so on) in your Life, one of which Gemini governs. So, this great cosmic activity (New Moon in Gemini) influences and moves on – no matter where you are.
Here's how the New Moon (new starts) in dazzling Gemini, the Twins, affects the 12 sun-signs within the 12 houses of the zodiac wheel.
ARIES March 21-April 20
The 3rd House: Dialogue. All kinds of calls, e-mails, and visitors (unexpected and by appointment) now arrive. Be selective as you're consumed with new ideas and new game plans, as a result. Know that you can set your own agenda. SIDESTEP even a hint of depression.
TAURUS April 21-May 20
The 2nd House: Your Personal Income, Possessions, and Lifestyle. Time now to turn your full attention to whatever is active, outgoing, and positive, especially as it relates to increasing your sources of income. Advance quickly. SIDESTEP skimming the surface of vital information.
GEMINI May 21-June 20
The 1st House: At the Center of the Stage. It's your favorite place to be, as the New Moon (new beginnings) occurs in your first house of efforts and endeavors. Right now, you can convince anybody, and everybody, of the validity of your ideas. SIDESTEP evasiveness – about everything.
CANCER June 21-July 22
The 12th House: Confidential Matters and Secret Strategy-Planning Sessions. The behind-the-scenes work that you accomplish now is sound and reliable. True to form, you have all your facts and research figures lined up in perfect order. SIDESTEP hostility, on a grand scale.
LEO July 23-August 22
The 11th House: Getting-What-You-Want. This is one area that you take very seriously. For that reason, be certain to list all your goals with care and precision. Although laughter may fill the air, your personal pursuits are now quite important. SIDESTEP the absence of your high energy.
VIRGO August 23-September 22
The 10th House: Your Career, its Gain, and its Advancement. Even though dynamic, even dramatic, ideas come to mind, stay on the straight and narrow. Means focus on what is at hand – and develop those fine ideas thoroughly. SIDESTEP ignoring your incredible fact-finding skills.
LIBRA September 23-October 22
The 9th House: New Ideas and New Plans – near and at a distance. You now manage current developments beautifully. In fact, you'll be amazed at how smoothly one special project goes. At no time, allow yourself to be shy or distracted. SIDESTEP being uncharacteristically anti-social.
SCORPIO October 23-November 22
The 8th House: Revitalization, on all levels – mental, emotional, physical, financial, and spiritual. The moment has come for you to make your thoughts and feelings known – but only from a fresh, bright – dare we say, sparkling – approach and point-of-view. SIDESTEP hiding out.
SAGITTARIUS November 23-December 21
The 7th House: Your Agreements and Special Arrangements; even, the sought-after Contract. Your ruling planet, Jupiter (Lady Luck), is now threaded throughout calls and meetings. Be there, and be ready to make your requirements known. SIDESTEP overlooking several key elements.
CAPRICORN December 22-January 19
The 6th House: Your Working Environment as well as your relations with co-workers and associates. You can be all things to all people – when you want to be. Now is such a time, as you cut through the worn-out procedures of the past. SIDESTEP going too fast for conditions.
AQUARIUS January 20-February 18
The 5th House: Your Close Relationships, Creativity, and Speculation – taking a chance. High excitement prevails. Take care that you do not burn the proverbial candle at both ends. One sincerely lit candle will do quite nicely. SIDESTEP a humorless take on late-breaking developments.
PISCES February 19-March 20
The 4th House: Your Base-of-Operations – where-you-live and where-you-work. A measured and loving approach is now the answer to whatever uneven conditions have existed in the recent past. Harmony, on your part, definitely saves the day. SIDESTEP being difficult to find.
And I am Fran Smith inviting you to join me at visitshoremagazine.com for the next "Starcast" on Friday, June 21, 2013 – when the Sky has painted a whole new picture…

"Prosecutors said one of the two suspects has suggested that the victim, 88-year-old Delbert Belton, was selling crack cocaine outside the Eagles Lodge and shorted them." Sixteen year-old murder suspect Kenan Adams-Kinard's father, Steven Kinard—who apparently has his own history of cocaine use—is backing up his son's claim. He claims Belton was well known in the cocaine dealing community. "He's far from the World War II hero he's been portrayed as... He poisoned the country and poisoned our kids," Steven Kinard said. The elder Kinard was sentenced to five years in prison in 2005 for two cocaine dealing convictions of his own. Friends and family of Delbert Belton are dismissing the charges against the dead veteran as totally without merit. Although prosecutors didn't elaborate in court, Spokane police later said they've found nothing to support suspected killer Kenan Adams-Kinard's drug dealing claims. Adams-Kinard, 16, is being held in lieu of $3 million bond on charges of first-degree robbery and first-degree murder in connection with last week's confrontation.

My opinion is that it's for law enforcement, thus the Duty. Critical defense is good enough for citizens to carry. Critical Duty is meant to be able to penetrate windshields and such. If you shoot someone through a windshield or a car door, you might have trouble explaining that in court.
Critical Defense is excellent SD/HD ammo.
Critical duty is really a poor choice.
Wouldn't it make more sense to go for the upgraded ammo. I mean at my LGS it's near the same price. Wouldn't it be smarter to get the most for the money?
"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." (Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789)
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington
"...from my cold dead hands" Charlton Heston & NRA
"He which hath no stomach to this fight,/ Let him depart." Henry V
They are also designed for different sizes of guns. Critical Defense is designed for short-barreled pistols frequently used for personal protection, while Critical Duty is designed for full-size pistols.
Here's Hornady's explanation.
"An armed society is a polite society." Robert A. Heinlein
"After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military."
William S. Burroughs
Hey utf59. I'm altiile newer to owning handguns. What inch barrel would be considered too short for optimal performance o this bullet?
I'm guessing, but I'd say Critical Defense is best in a 3" barrel. That's what a lot of short auto pistols have, and I believe that's what was mentioned in a profile of this ammo on TV (American Rifleman, I believe). I also think the Critical Duty was optimized for a 5" barrel, but again, I'm guessing/trying to remember what was on TV.
Sorry I can't be more help.
4 inch is a good compromise. I prefer a 6 inch barrel, but a 4 inch is a helluva lot better than a 2 inch.
When I need to conceal a 6 inch barrel gun, I wear a shoulder holster.

Jamie Anzalone, Owner
Jamie grew up in Buffalo, New York watching his father work hard preparing meals for blue-collar workers at the Metcalfe Café on the southeast side of town. He began his culinary career at a young age as a dishwasher and was quickly recognized by both the Executive Chef and General Manager for a promotion. After deciding on front-of-the-house, Jamie spent the next 10 years as a server at local restaurants.
He fell in love with Napa Valley in 1998 when he made the move out west to become a server at the Wine Spectator Greystone Restaurant at the Culinary Institute of America. He simultaneously excelled in his food and wine education by taking part time classes on campus, after which he went on to enroll as a full time student at The Culinary Institute of America's Hyde Park, New York campus.
Upon graduating in 2004, Jamie was a Fellow at The CIA's American Bounty restaurant. He spent the next 5 years traveling the country, working in various hospitality venues such as the Little Nell's Montagne Restaurant in Aspen, CO as a Private Chef, on the ORO Ranch in Prescott, AZ and finally at L'Auberge Delmar's Kitchen 1540 in San Diego, CA, but he knew that Napa Valley was where he wanted to be.
Returning to the Valley in 2009, Jamie worked at the Martini House in St. Helena and most recently as Maitre d' Hotel at the Michelin Starred Solbar in Calistoga.
