We held our first OpenStack User Group Meetup in Poland yesterday with up to 50 people joining us at peak times, both physically as well as online via Google Hangout and IRC Chat. It was a pleasure and honour for us to talk with some of the best known and most sophisticated OpenStackers in the world, and we are very thankful for their attendance. If you didn't have a chance to join us live, please find below our recorded Google Hangout sessions.

Lessons Learned
Let me share with you what key learnings we drew from our first meetup:
OpenStack: don't believe the hype. Expect most IT people to know little to zero about OpenStack. It might be the largest open source cloud software project globally with hundreds of companies backing the initiative with hundreds of coders and thousands of members, yet there are still zillions of system admins and developers out there who have no clue what OpenStack is about. Educate them all, one geek at a time.
Tune into the global OpenStack community. When you're small, you have to think big. We have less than a handful of OpenStack deployments in Poland, hence there are very few experienced OpenStackers able to share their knowledge. As a small community, we have to think out of your (local) box and attract the brightest OpenStackers in the world to educate our community and we also need to find ways to give back to the broader OpenStack community. OpenStack is an open source community driven effort, it's all about a mutual, respectful relationship with other OpenStackers, it's about giving and taking, so let's do it right.
Google Hangout & IRC Chat rock. It's exciting to talk with OpenStackers from the United States, Switzerland, Kenya and India at the same time. We obviously lack resources to fly in speakers from all over the world. But thanks to Google Hangout & IRC Chat we were able to attract the smartest OpenStackers from virtually any place on this planet. At the same time, with our online sessions we contribute back to the OpenStack community far beyond our country borders: We welcomed attendees from 9 different countries in Europe, Africa and even Asia Pacific - most of which face similar challenges to ours. But when small, local OpenStack communities join forces, there is an opportunity to create a huge multinational community spreading across multiple regions. It's the power of many in action.
Pick your audience wisely: Only the brave. It's only possible to start a revolution with brave people, and OpenStack is a revolution. We learned that you need to attract the brave ones in the first place: People who don't shy away from asking questions in front of an audience, even in spite of a severe language barrier. People, who are willing to make a difference, who show up at the meetup with burning questions and who want to apply their newly acquired skills the next day at work. We need to listen carefully to them and tailor our meetups around their needs. The vast majority of the IT crowd will follow later, but you can only start a movement with a small bunch of wildly determined, super-pragmatic, brave people.
Address real life problems. Some of our attendees are contemplating to build private clouds or to deploy their applications on alternative public cloud platforms, but they don't necessarily have OpenStack on top of their mind. We realized that we primarily have to address their questions such as: tactical choice of hypervisors or capacity planning for cloud storage, automated infrastructure deployment and management or application development and deployment. Our learning: Relate to people's everyday experience reality, and then expand the conversation to OpenStack - rather than the other way round.
Keep it short and focused. We challenged our attendees with four speaker sessions in a row from 5.00 pm to 9.00 pm. Our key learning: We need to keep our meetups shorter and focus on one specific topic at a time. Also, people are keen on diving deeply into technical conversations on topics they are interested in (we feel that an OpenStack User Group meetup is not necessarily the right place for high level presentations on OpenStack).
Do it again, again and again. We will host our meetups and the accompanying Google Hangout & IRC Chat sessions on a monthly basis. Feel free to register for our upcoming meetup on July 11th 2013, 6.00 pm - 8.30 pm CEST (GMT + 2hrs), and watch out for further meetups in August, September, October, November … see you there!
We will host our Meetup in Szczecin (Poland) and we are expecting attendees from 9 different countries to join us online via Google Hangout and IRC Chat.
Cloudscaling just recently launched an engineering blog named Simplicity Scales: "This blog is about Cloudscaling's engineers, engineering culture, and perspective on building elastic infrastructure clouds that don't suck." (Randy Bias, Cloudscaling). Below an overview over the first posts at the Simplicity Scales blog:
Rafael: Can you introduce yourself, Eric? What are you doing? Who are you?
Eric: I'm a Principal Engineer at Cloudscaling. I have been at Cloudscaling for two years now, and I am an active developer and participant in the OpenStack community. I believe I have been - at least for the last 12 months - the second highest contributor to the Oslo shared library project within OpenStack. Also, I've been contributing to the Simplicity Scales blog.
Rafael: Tell us about the Simplicity Scales blog.
Eric: Simplicity Scales blog was set up to provide an outlet for Cloudscaling engineers to express their thoughts and views to the world and to allow them to show some of the cool things that they're working on. The name comes from the idea that simple, loosely coupled systems are more scalable and fault tolerant than complex, tightly coupled ones. Simplicity Scales reflects our philosophy of building cloud and product design.
Rafael: Can you give some examples?
Eric: Sure. Presently I put out a post about the ZeroMQ work that I've been doing. That includes mostly the things that I did in Grizzly; it wrapped up this latest development cycle so that there was sort of a change log for that work that people could go and reference. One of the topics we will talk about is the Python 3 compatibility theme. That's an effort that I'm personally working on. Also, we are going to talk about service inventory and health in OpenStack and how to have awareness of the hosts that are in there.
Rafael: Do you plan to expand the author base to non-Cloudscaling engineers?
Eric: At this time we only have plans for Cloudscaling engineers.
Rafael: I noticed that you barely have any Cloudscaling branding at the Simplicity Scales blog. Why?
Eric: The idea is to present the engineers as themselves. These are Cloudscaling engineers, but these are not necessarily the thoughts and opinions of Cloudscaling. That's one of the biggest differences between the Simplicity Scales blog and the Cloudscaling company blog. So, at Simplicity Scale we can allow ourselves some more free range.
Rafael: Can you give examples of topics where you deviate from Cloudscaling's view?
Eric: Sure. I'm working on a post regarding running OpenStack Nova on a Raspberry Pi (laughs). This is something that Cloudscaling is not looking to actually do. It's something I did for fun, and I just thought: "Hey, it would be kind of neat to let people know if you were to do this - for whatever reason - what it actually looks like." And in no way this relates to what's being done at Cloudscaling.
Rafael: Thank you very much, Eric. I am looking forward to read more at the Simplicity Scales blog.
Eric: You're welcome, Rafael.

Learn firsthand about OpenStack, its challenges and opportunities, market adoption and Cloudscaling's engagement in the community. My goal is to interview all 24 members of the OpenStack board, and I will post these talks sequentially at Dell TechCenter. In order to make these interviews easier to read, I structured them into my (subjectively) most important takeaways. Enjoy reading!
#1 Takeaway: OpenStack fundamental architecture is very sound
Rafael: Let's start with a very basic question, Randy. What is the value that OpenStack brings to the table?
Randy: The core value of OpenStack is that the fundamental architecture is very sound. If you want to build Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) in a scale out manner, then you need an asynchronous, loosely coupled, message based type of solution, so that you can create a distributed software system.
We looked at a number of different technologies on the market place today including CloudStack and OpenNebula, and we missed a combination of both components. In case of CloudStack, where we did one of the three largest deployments, the code base is monolithic. All the code runs in one place. And in the case of OpenNebula you have distributed software, but it lacks an asynchronous message passing paradigm.
#2 Takeaway: OpenStack key accomplishments are: 1) high profile contributors, 2) regular release cycle, 3) governed by a foundation and 4) broad suit of services
Rafael: What are the key accomplishments of OpenStack so far?
Randy: First, a number of high profile appointments like AT&T, HP and Dell. Second, a regular cadence in the major release cycle, which is a key factor in any large open source project. OpenStack has a six-month cadence with six major releases so far, and it's becoming better and better with every new version. Third, the formation of the OpenStack Foundation, a single neutral entity that can support OpenStack and its mission, rather than being owned by any one organization. Fourth, OpenStack branched out from the core of Nova and Swift into Nova, Cinder, Horizon, Glance, Swift, Quantum and Keystone in the current OpenStack Folsom release. With that, OpenStack has a full end-to-end suite of services you can pick from, whereas other IaaS open source projects are focusing on a single piece of the problem like compute or networking, for example.
#3 Takeaway: OpenStack needs a broader market adoption and a clear mission
Rafael: … and what does still needs to be worked on in OpenStack, Randy?
Randy: We still need significantly more adoption in the marketplace, although I don't know how to quantify that well. A lot of people are in the process of evaluating OpenStack, and I think that a broader market adoption is just a matter of time.
Also, since the formation of the OpenStack Foundation, there's an opportunity to re-evaluate what the mission for OpenStack should be. Initially the mission for OpenStack was defined by Rackspace. Now that Rackspace doesn't own OpenStack anymore, the project's mission needs to be clarified.
#4 Takeaway: OpenStack Foundation has two options: 1) a hands off and 2) a hands on approach to govern the project
Rafael: What are viable options for OpenStack?
Randy: One option would be a similar approach to how the Linux Foundation exists in the market place.
The Linux Foundation doesn't really say what Linux should be. It allows the marketplace and the key contributors to make those decisions themselves. Linux has a reasonable amount of standardization across the distributions, but yet all of them are designed for completely different purposes. RedHat Enterprise is seen by many as designed for servers in the way that Ubuntu is for desktops. There are even more specialized Linux distributions for things like embedded systems.
That sort of hands off approach would mean that OpenStack becomes a framework that can be used by anybody in the ecosystem to build all sorts of clouds. In that case the market forces would determine which distributions rise to the top and which don't … just like is the case with Linux.
Alternatively, the OpenStack Foundation could take a hands on approach and make top down determinations about OpenStack standards … what OpenStack supports, which other cloud software it's compatible with etc. That approach might get us sooner to interoperability with other clouds such as Amazon Web Services or Google Compute Engine, but it may alienate those members of the community who don't want to go in the direction which the OpenStack Foundation and Technical Committee may decide makes sense. These folks might then want to build their own system, and that might create a threat of forking OpenStack.
Rafael: Hands off or hands on: Which approach would you prefer for OpenStack?
Randy: I have seen in the past that standards in interoperability seem to bubble up through market adoption. Once customers decide what they want, developers can respond to that rather than trying to predict what the market might want. We all know: Human beings are the worst predictors of the future (laughs).
#5 Takeaway: Cloudscaling focusses on improving OpenStack's computing capabilities and API compatibility with other public clouds
Rafael: Let's talk a bit about Open Cloud System – your company's OpenStack distribution. What makes it unique in the marketplace?
Randy: Before I answer that question let me explain briefly that we use 100% stock OpenStack in our product, Open Cloud System. We don't modify it, we don't fork it. Our team has a background in building large scale out, production grade systems that are compatible with other clouds, and that's our primary focus with OpenStack. We've built an integrated system solution rather than a bunch of separate components.
OpenStack from our point of view is a great technology, but it's a little bit like the Linux kernel. You probably wouldn't take it and run it in production. Just as with the Linux kernel, you actually have to do a number of things in order to make it robust and production ready … and by production ready we mean that there is a focus on availability, security, performance and maintainability.
OpenStack has lot of configuration parameters, and we simply took advantage of that in order to provide functionality that isn't available in default OpenStack. Let me give you one example.
Default OpenStack comes with Nova, the compute component. It has two deployment modes. The first deployment mode is a centralized service, that all of your network traffic goes through. It has VLANs behind it, and every tenant of your cloud is on a VLAN. The challenge is that you have a central choke point for all your traffic. Regardless of how fast your switch fabric is … you're driving traffic for all your VMs through this central Linux box which is obviously not ideal.
The second deployment mode is distributed, where you are also using VLANs … with your Nova network controller running on all your hypervisors. Obviously there are security concerns around that. But taking that aside, you end up making some compromises, because of the Nova network controller architecture with both public and private IPs running on your internal switch fabric. A lot of people don't like to do that, they prefer to keep their public IPs at the edge of the network. In addition to that you have these weird bugs that crop up, because the network address translations are happening on each of the hypervisor nodes, instead of at the edge of your network like you would normally expect. There is a bug right now in OpenStack which is not fixable because of the architecture and you cannot use floating IPs.
This is really clunky. Open Cloud System takes a very different approach. We don't use any VLANs. We use Layer 3 network routing just like Amazon Web Services does. Our networking model looks exactly like Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
We have a separate NAT service that runs at the edge of the system. Your public and private IPs are not running together on the switch fabric. We have a distributed DHCP service that runs on all hypervisors; the Nova network controller is off to the side and no network traffic goes through it anymore. Because of that we get full end to end bandwidth between all the VMs and tenants, and we get full throughput to the internet ingress and egress.
Rafael: Can you give some more examples of what your distribution does differently than raw OpenStack?
Randy: Sure. Default OpenStack comes with RabbitMQ as the messaging broker, and we felt that created a single point of failure which didn't make sense to us, especially in larger deployments. So we came up with an Alternative Approach to OpenStack Nova RPC Messaging.
We also spent time on pushing code back into OpenStack for API compatibility; we do a lot of work on AWS EC2 API and we recently announced that we are providing a set of APIs that are compatible with Google Compute Engine. Now people have a choice when they use OpenStack compute project Nova, whether they want to use the OpenStack native API, the AWS API or the GCE API.
#6 Takeaway: Early adopters such as the finance sector are embracing OpenStack, businesses with less sophisticated IT needs might jump in later
Rafael: Randy, we talked very briefly about market adoption earlier. Let's dwell a bit more on that. Who are the early adopters and do you see signs of OpenStack going mainstream?
Randy: Cloud computing is a new paradigm in cloud computing which is driven by large scale web companies. When you look Google, Amazon, Facebook or Twitter data centers: They don't build up systems that look like traditional enterprise data centers.
OpenStack will be broadly adopted by the enterprise over time. If you look at other open source projects such as Hadoop … it gives the average enterprise a competitiveness that Google previously had with MapReduce. Many companies are comfortable with Hadoop already, and I believe the same will happen with OpenStack over time.
In general, we see two sets of customers. You have companies that see IT as a competitive advantage. They will refresh their datacenter infrastructure over the next 5 to 10 years, and they will embrace models such as OpenStack and Hadoop. Financial services companies are already very much involved with both open source projects. Usually they are a good indicator for other industries to follow later.
And then you have companies for which IT is not a significant competitive advantage, such as shipping, and logistics … they are just tracking where their ships or containers are and they don't have significant need for sophisticated IT solutions. I think that over time those companies might adopt public clouds designed to run their workloads.
#7 Takeaway: Getting the software & solutions provider DNA into Dell is crucial for the future
Rafael: Last question, Randy. How do you view Dell in the OpenStack game?
Randy: We are currently in the middle of a fundamental change in IT, which can be compared to the transition from mainframe to enterprise computing. A lot of the mainframe companies didn't survive. Those who did like IBM took a very close look at emerging technologies, and they changed their business model.
Dell is making a lot of changes in order to become a software and solution company. I think being a solution provider is the only way for a company like Dell, which is traditionally a hardware supplier, to survive in the future.
All the right moves have been made at Dell, and it's more a question of execution: How do you get the software DNA into Dell? How do you get system thinking DNA into the business? It's all about finding answers to those questions.
Rafael: Thank you very much for this interview, Randy.
Randy: You're welcome!

The Giants and Cubs play the third and final game of their 3-game series this afternoon at AT&T Park. It's lunchtime baseball again as first pitch today is 12:45 PT. RHP Edwin Jackson (3-4, 4.26 ERA) of the Cubs faces off against RHP Tim Lincecum (4-3, 4.55 ERA) for the hometown nine.
The Giants won last night 4-0 behind another strong performance from Tim Hudson. Today is the rubber match of the 3-game set as the Giants look to improve upon their 10-4-1 overall record in series this season.
First inning runs have been one of the Giants best friends this season. They have scored 41 runs in the 1st inning, the most in the majors. In 4 of the last 5 games the Giants have scored in the first inning, and have an overall record of 25-5 when scoring the game's first run.
The lineups for today's game.
Today's #Cubs lineup vs. #SFGiants: Bonifacio 2B, Lake CF, Rizzo 1B, Castro SS, Schierholtz RF, Olt 3B, Coghlan LF, Baker C, Jackson P
— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) May 28, 2014
Today's #SFGiants Lineup vs. CHC: PAGAN CF PENCE RF POSEY 1B SANDOVAL 3B SANCHEZ C COLVIN LF CRAWFORD SS ADRIANZA 2B LINCECUM P
— San Francisco Giants (@SFGiants) May 28, 2014
Tim Lincecum has gone 2-1 with a 2.76 ERA in his last 5 starts at AT&T Park. He struggled with his command in his last start against the Twins and walked 6 batters. On the plus side, he pitched around all of that mess and the Giants won the game.
Pablo Sandoval is happy to see Edwin Jackson on the mound today. He's red-hot and gets to face a pitcher that he has had success against. Lifetime, Sandoval is 7-13 (.538) with 1 HR against the Cub right-hander. He's looking to match J.T. Snow with his 8th straight game driving in a run.
Sandoval currently has an RBI in each of his last 7 games. The last #SFGiants player to have 8-straight games with an RBI was JT Snow in '03

In case you missed it, Brandon Belt and his wife Haylee are expecting a "baby Baby Giraffe" (his words, not mine). You can read more about that here.
Some news on Matt Cain and Santiago Casilla. It looks like Cain will be good to go Saturday in St. Louis. The timetable for Casilla's return is still 4 weeks, but he's showing progress.
Cain threw bullpen session, good to go for Saturday. #sfgiants
— John Shea (@JohnSheaHey) May 28, 2014
Santiago Casilla threw 40 pitches off flat ground. Can still feel tightness on hamstring "but I'm surprised it's (getting better) quick."

9. Atlanta Falcons
Strengths: Ever since the Falcons switched away from the red helmets back in the late '80's/early '90's, I have loved their helmets. I love the black helmet with the black facemask and I love the logo.
Weaknesses: No stripe.
Ideas for Improvement: I would like to see a red stripe, outlined in white, which starts wider in the front and comes to a point in the back.
Let the anticipation begin for the order of the top 8!

Man how crazy is it that there were 2million users on the Xbox 360 playing MW2 at the sametime. I only saw a little over 300k on the PS3. Kinda weird that the PS3 servers went down and they had no where near the amount of people the Xbox had.
12:56 pm
i have 4 friends with both systems and they all bought it for XBOX… i wont even buy an xbox for halo!! lol
10:17 am
I have a friend that bought the mw2 360 bundle just so he could play online. He rarely uses his ps3 and suffers connectivity problems
7:38 pm
If I had the cash sitting around I might dish out for an Xbox, it just seems that some of my coworker have the box instead of the ps3. The only concern I have is paying all that money and to get a RROD would really really piss me off.

With a month to go for the release of his debut album, Willy Moon has released the video for "My Girl," the latest single to be taken from Here's Willy Moon. In style with Moon's aesthetic, the video manages to capture both the old in the new, using a lo-fi aesthetic to showcase more modern influences. It also seems to be purposefully glitchy throughout, maybe to showcase the more synthetic side of the song, which incorporates heavy synths for the first time in his catalog.
In the video we see the One To Watch for 2013 sing to a "poorly dressed" woman (presumably "his girl," you know?) as the pair engage in shenanigans. It's all in good fun.
Here's Willy Moon is out on April 8th, but you can sample it now. "My Girl" is out on March 17th.

The MX770-CCX-CG-WH 7.7" speakers combine durable, marine-ready design with outstanding sound reproduction. You can mount them in your boat's cockpit or bulkhead walls, either as stand-alones or in conjunction with a subwoofer. These rugged speakers deliver powerful output that'll cut through the combination of wind, water, and engine noise. The weatherproof cone is suspended in a durable synthetic rubber surround for great sound and long life, and the UV-resistant polymer basket surrounds and protects the entire structure. The 3/4" treated silk dome tweeters render brilliant highs, and they're mounted directly to the grilles for optimal sound radiation. You'll hear all the details of your music, even when the throttle is forward and you're skimming over the waves. High-quality 2-way crossovers mounted to the woofer baskets ensure the woofer and tweeter work in perfect concert.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Marine Tested: JL Audio's marine speakers are built to exceed industry standards for Salt-Fog and UV exposure. They are exposed to ultraviolet testing chambers to simulate years of sun exposure, and salt fog chambers to simulate years of exposure to salt-water environments. Corrosion and UV-resistant materials are used throughout. Woofers: The MX770-CCX-CG-WH speakers feature injection-molded, mica-filled polypropylene cone woofers with UV inhibitors, synthetic rubber surrounds, and precisely engineered dust cap profiles for smooth upper-end response. The woofers also use marine-grade synthetic fiber spiders with a progressive roll design to withstand high humidity. DMA (Dynamic Motor Analysis): DMA is JL Audio's proprietary method of improving dynamic motor behavior. The DMA optimized, long-excursion design enhances output, bass extension, and power handling of the speaker. Tweeters: The speakers feature 3/4" silk dome tweeters with a specially formulated treatment to withstand UV and salt-spray exposure. The dome tweeter uses a neodymium magnet for higher efficiency levels and is Ferrofluid-cooled and damped for improved response and power handling capabilities. Crossover: The tweeters use 2nd order (12 dB/oct) crossovers with solid-state tweeter protection to prevent tweeter failure. Polymer Basket And Grille: The specifically engineered polymer baskets are corrosion and UV-resistant and encapsulate the woofer's motor system to prevent corrosion. Infinite-Baffle Operation: The speakers are designed for infinite-baffle operation and can be installed in a variety of locations, without the need for a dedicated enclosure. The woofer is optimized to operate with a large volume of air behind it (at least 2 cubic feet); operating in less space will compromise low frequency performance.

Best marine speaker. Great power handling & frequency response without distortion at high levels. Don't need the SW unless you want to go really load and have the whole anchorage listen to your music. Pros: Great lows, mids & highs. Cons: Expensive. That coconut white. Was this review helpful?

The sound is amazing. Great bass and sounds great at all volume levels. Pros: Bass response, looks, quality Cons: Price vs my budget, but ohh well. Was this review helpful?

These sound great with the motor running or over the sounds of the waves on the beach! Pros: Easy to install and great sound! Cons: Really? Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 JL Marine Audio Products Rock The Bay Written By DJ Doug, Chesapeake City, MD. on Wednesday, July 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed 2 pair of the 770's, 1 pair of 650's a 10" Sub and a healty pair of amps in the cockpit of my 34' cruiser. Clean and bright sound above and beyond the rumble of two big blocks, wind and surf. Pros: The fit and finish of the JL Marine products is exceptional. When you see them you know they mean buisness while maintaining a classy, not trashy look. Cons: 10 " Sub should have a cut out template supplied in the box. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Product Written By JF, Sandusky, OH on Wednesday, May 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Like the old saying goes..."You get what you pay for" These speakers ROCK!!! I had a chance to hear these in a local store in the un-amp mode. I was able to test out other named brand speakers at the same time. I the sound the JL's produced was a 1000x clearer and sharper than the others. I kept asking the sales person if he was turning on the amp when he switch over to the JL's and he said no. Great product. If you are not sold yet on these speakers based on the reviews here..I suggest you find a boat that has any JL's installed and hear the difference for yourself. Pros: Well worth the extra money. Great sound with or with out an AMP! Cons: NONE!!! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 JL audio front speakers Written By Shaun r., Port st lucie FL on Thursday, May 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Best quality speakers on the market, put 2 on my 1989 paramount boat. No amp and these speakers have excellent clarity even running 50mph. Can't wait to add 2 more for the rear Pros: Quality, design, clarity Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 FANTASTIC !

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Awesome Speakers Written By BFI, Seattle, WA on Sunday, April 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was so impressed with the 6.5" speakers that I had to try these when replacing some blown speakers. The full spectrum of the music that came to life was amazing. Nice bass even without a woofer. I have a pair running off the stereo only, and a pair that is amplified. They both sound great. Pros: Great sound Cons: A little spendy. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Awesome Written By Hogger, Saraland, AL on Wednesday, April 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Speakers sound awesome stereo works great. Very pleased with both. 5 star service Pros: Quick delivery time Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 JL Audio 7.7 Coaxial marine speakers Written By Chris, Katy, TX on Thursday, March 13, 2014 Upgraded our standard basic Clarion speakers running off of the head unit to these JL coax speakers running off a tiny marine JL xd amp. I had doubts that just a two speaker upgrade inside the boat would make much difference but even going through chop at 30 mph every detail of the music is clear and refined. Bright but not too tinty. Even swimming around the boat these are very audible even though they aren't up on a tower. They don't throw sound far like a horn loaded tower speaker but the quality of the sound is dead on. Pros: Nice, rugged, clear, clean, mid bass, hi-fi Cons: Expensive, nice to add some color options, not much to be picky on. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 JL Audio MX770-CCX-CG-WH Marine Speakers Written By Jeff D, Barnegat NJ on Monday, February 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are great marine speakers. They sound great are easy to install. JL makes a great product. Very few companies make a 7.7 inch marine speaker. I went with the mid range price instead of the most expensive JL speaker because of the marine environment. Very happy Pros: Water resistant. Sound great Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Sweet upgrade from 6.5" Written By John, Rochester, NY on Tuesday, December 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was really a nice upgrade from 6.5 inch speakers. First, in my opinion for the money, JL Audio makes the finest marine speakers and you can be proud to know they are built right here in the USA. So if you have the room to mount a larger speaker you'll really enjoy the improvement. I put mine in the arch and it was easy to enlarge the mounting hole. Depth not an issue. I'm not a really sub-woofer bass kinda guy, I just like clean sound, but the bass on these are impressive. I am not even considering a sub-woofer now. If you're on the fence, get these and you won't regret it. The only issue I had during installation was one of the stainless mounting screws. I spun the head right off it. I ended up making the pilot holes a little bigger than recommended and not a problem. Pros: Clear crisp sound, awesome bass, well built (USA), looks awesome, great value for quality. Cons: Cheap screws 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

These are top notch speakers.The sound is crystal clear and they can handle a lot of power that an amp puts out. They sound great with the JL M 600/6 marine amp that I have on my boat.You cannot beat the quality that JL puts out. I suggest you only buy from an Authorized Dealer Like Crutchfield. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Very good sound Written By Anonymous, ohio on Wednesday, June 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good speakers and 100% satisfied. They provide a full sound that is very clean and crisp. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked Should i go with these or the Rockford Fosgate M282B's for a 17' Center Console? I may add a sub later on, but for now it would just be the speakers. I have a set of Kicker KM6LW run by a Pyle PLMRA400 and a JBL PRV170 Head Unit and they don't sound as good as I expected. Could someone help me decide which of the 2 previously mentioned sets of speakers I should go with, and also an appropriate amp. [ Steven Apr 28, 2014 ] 1 answer Thanks for your question.

I love the concept of all the Williams in the show representing different versions of Sherlock, now that we know his first name is William, like the full list of all the Bills/Billys is choice:
- Billy the skull (Sherlock used to talk to the skull before John aka he was just talking to himself)
- Bill Wiggins (his drug addict side)
- Billy the chef in Hounds, who's in a relationship with John's foil (speaks for itself really)
- Billy Kincaid the Camden garroter who Sherlock says is "the best man I ever knew" meant to represent Sherlock's growth into becoming a good man
- and, my fave, Bill Murray, the army nurse who saved John's life in Afghanistan, as the side of Sherlock that is John's saviour
As I fell asleep last night, pondering Sherlock, as one does…I kept going over a comment someone left on a gif set I reblogged yesterday about not forcing a love story into it, and just enjoying the show for what it is.
It annoyed me at the time - leave Johnlock stuff to the…
I don't disagree with anything you said. I just don't like when people talk about the love they have for each other as romantic love. That is not the only kind of love there is, and there is no evidence that this is the kind of love they share. The focus on a homosexual relationship by many fans seems like a fetish, more than a desire to truly look at their relationship.
I am so glad you took the time to disagree with my meta with a comment that has absolutely no relevance to anything I wrote and reuses the same tired, ridiculous argument about Fetishization, while simultaneously categorizing "homosexual love" as something other and separate. I think you might want to reread what I wrote and try again.
"I don't disagree with anything you said, but there's no evidence they're in love."
Nature is amazing.
As I fell asleep last night, pondering Sherlock, as one does…I kept going over a comment someone left on a gif set I reblogged yesterday about not forcing a love story into it, and just enjoying the show for what it is.
It annoyed me at the time - leave Johnlock stuff to the Johnlockers, and all that - but then I started thinking about it. I thought, but what is it? If it's not a love story, then what is it?
Taking a cue from our beloved Sherlock himself, I started a process of elimination. Whatever remains must be the truth, right?
So. What is it not?
It's not a detective show. The cases are second fiddle at best, even in the first two series. The cases are the backdrop, they provide the context, but they aren't the focus. It's not about who done it. It's not a detective show, it's a show about a detective. Okay, so that's ruled out.
It's not an ensemble show, particularly of judging by the hundreds of tumblr users complaining daily - and accurately - about how poorly drawn and underexplored the secondary characters are. This is not a show where every character gets equal screen time or equal treatment. Characters are missing back stories, histories, they're shadows moving about in the background, the boys up front, glowing so bright and so real and so fierce.
Because that's how it's supposed to be. It's about the two of them.
Okay, so it's not about cases and it's not about the ensemble. It's about John and Sherlock. So, going back to the original question, what is it about John and Sherlock? What story is being told here?
There are so many adaptations of Sherlock Holmes and they all tell basically the same story - friendship, loyalty, love, partnership. That's the essence of who John and Sherlock have always been. Those things are all most certainly present in the BBC show, and I would never argue that they aren't.
Okay. But. Here we have two writers who like to leave their unique mark on classic stories (Doctor Who, for example), they want to "fix" the stories they read as boys, they like to take things to new places, push, explore, make new what is old. They wouldn't be telling a story that's already been told.
They pulled John and Sherlock apart at a far younger age than in canon. Separated them, divided them. Put obstacles in the way of their reunification. John's crushing, debilitating grief - something notably absent from canon - and Mary's pregnancy, betrayal, Sherlock nearly dying on John for a second time, John's trust issues. All this stood in the way of the boys easily coming back together the way they did in canon.
Canon was much more about the cases, certainly. There was more of the mystery, more about the detecting. This show is about John and Sherlock, full stop. These two are so very different from the canon Holmes and Watson, so much more complex and broken, so much more human. John's so angry. Sherlock's so heartbroken. There's a lot of focus on that, on how messed up these two are.
So why? Why are they telling the story this way? What is it?
It's two men struggling to understand how they can function in the world. Two difficult, complicated men. Men who have few friends, who are solitary, and burdened with grief, insecurity, trauma. Men who deal with problems in profoundly unhealthy ways, who repress and deny their real feelings, who believe they don't deserve happiness.
They're broken, unhappy, alone, and then what happens? They find each other. In a scene that is right out of a romance film. Eyes across a room and all that.
In the pilot script, in a scene that was cut, it's implied Sherlock was suicidal before he met John. John's suicidal ideation was heavily implied in ASiP. They literally saved one another's lives just by meeting, and countless times since. They make each other laugh - honestly, do we ever see them really laugh with any other character? - they make each other mental, they make each other feel alive. They shine when they're together, practically lit up from the inside out. They get jealous, fiercely jealous, of the other spending time with anyone else. They take care of each other, they depend on each other, they fall to pieces when the other one isn't there. They're intensely connected to each other, truly unable to function without the other one. (PTSD returning, drugs, drinking heavily…etc.) They're only content when they're together. They are emotionally two halves of the same whole, light and dark, moon and sun. I'm literally just describing.
This is the story being told. This is what the show is.
Back to the original comment, about forcing the show to be something it's not, I actually find it much harder to make sense of this narrative if it isn't a love story. If you remove from Sherlock the idea that it's building to these two finally getting their shit straight and allowing themselves to be happy together…then what is it?
It isn't a detective show, it isn't an ensemble show, it isn't a retell of canon. It's different, it's darker, it's more human. It's about stumbling through life and screwing up and making bad decisions and doing things that hurt you because you think it's the right thing to do at the time. It's about blundering around and not seeing what's right in front of you because you're so used to being alone that you haven't learned to recognise love when it's staring you in the face. It's about grief and loss and pain. It's about how hard life can be.
It's about finding the person that makes life easier to bear. The person that takes your pain away when they're laughing beside you, that makes you smile at the most incongruous moments, that you can't help but forgive even when you don't want to, the person that makes you a better person, the person that accepts you for who you are and appreciates you, even at your worst. It's about finding that one person with whom you lock eyes and suddenly the rest of the world falls away. The one person you absolutely cannot live without.
If that's not a love story, then I don't know what is.

You know...we're all going to look like fools if none of this turns out to be true. And we're only going to have ourselves to blame when we become the laughing stock of the whole fandom and the press and the writers and the cast. We'd be completely alienated. This is what I fear the most. The Johnlock community would never be able to live it down if nothing ever happens.
Yeah it would be terrible if we all had a lot of fun, and made friends, and thought about stuff, and learned a lot about analysis and queer history and filmography, and then a bunch of people we can't see somewhere were thinking mean things about us because we got queer-baited.
Okay, okay. I'm not totally unsympathetic — I have trouble caring about that sort of thing but I get why people do — but if you can't be wrong on the internet, where can you be wrong? Being wrong isn't a tragedy, fear of being wrong keeps people from doing worthwhile things, and anyone who's going to look down on you for being wrong is a shitty person anyway.
You know what I do with people like that in real life? I don't associate with them. And that's so much easier online. People spend actual minutes of their life writing me rude stuff and I just delete it after spending two seconds on it. I get a huge grin on my face when that happens. That's why I encourage it in my FAQ. It's awesome.
Plus, just for perspective, as a fandom we have stuff like Red Pants Monday (which I love) and are renowned for being batshit and obsessive (which I love), but you're worried people are going to think less of us for serious, critical analysis of the show?
Past that, we're in good company. Do you think the people at The New Yorker are worried that people are going to think mean thoughts about them because they said Sherlock is a literal homosexual romance?
And past that, is it even the majority of Johnlockers who think it's canon now? I can only think of maybe half a dozen blogs that are hardline about it (including mine). If it turns out to be wrong and the rest of the fandom wants someone to burn in effigy as a show of distancing themselves, I nominate myself. You're safe.
Relax, have fun, enjoy yourself. People are always going to find reasons to tell themselves they're better than other people, don't shackle yourself by trying to be bulletproof.
Hate to say this, but, the ship is sinking like fucking titanic. Hey hey hey! Women and children to the lifeboats first!

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Washington, DC
EPA Water 2014-322
Project Description:
A postgraduate internship project is available at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA), Office of Water, Office of Wastewater Management, in Washington, D.C. This internship will be served in the Water Permit Division, State and Regional Branch (SRB).
EPA partners with authorized states to develop, support and manage the National Permit Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program to protect and restore the nation's waters. NPDES permits are the mechanism that implements pollution controls on point sources. SRB is primarily responsible for working with the Regions and States on the development and interpretation of the NPDES regulations. SRB focuses on areas related to shaping the direction of the national NPDES permit program; producing policies and regulations; developing technical and administrative tools to support permit issuance; tracking and managing critical information related to permit issuance, permit quality, and point source pollution abatement; overseeing the programs managed by the States and Regional offices; and providing access to information on NPDES permitting.
SRB is looking for an intern interested in being trained in NPDES permitting, specifically in NPDES program state management oversight, improving the NPDES website, and supporting the NPDES climate change initiative. S/he will be trained in the various components of the NPDES permit program; including gathering and analyzing data, drafting and reviewing technical documents and reports, and collaborating with national experts on tough issues related to permitting for pollution and on analyzing the current status of how states are implementing NPDES regulations.
Through this project, the intern will learn how data management and science informs the implementation of our national environmental laws and will become familiar with the processes and procedures used to implement national regulatory programs. S/he will have the opportunity to gain skills in some or all of the following areas: conducting research, drafting research summaries, assisting with communication and outreach efforts, and assisting with technical data management and the development of policy options.
A team of analytical, technical and legal staff who support NPDES analysis and regulation will train the intern. S/he could also have the opportunity to participate in meetings and interact with EPA Headquarters colleagues, and communicate with EPA Regional and state staff.
Applicants should have received a master's degree in public policy, environmental science, information technology, biology, chemistry, ecology, engineering or a closely related field within five years of the desired starting date. Experience with databases and website management is desirable.
The program is open to all qualified individuals without regard to race, sex, religion, color, age, physical or mental disability, national origin, or status as a Vietnam era or disabled veteran. U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent resident status is preferred (but the applicant can also hold an appropriate visa status, however, a H1B visa is not appropriate). Guidelines for non-U.S. citizens may be found at http://orise.orau.gov/epa/applicants/immigration.htm.
The appointment will initially be for one year and may be renewed up to three additional years upon EPA recommendation and subject to availability of funding. The participant will receive a monthly stipend. The annual stipend will range from $52,000 up to $59,000 based on educational level. The participant must show proof of health and medical insurance. The participant does not become an EPA employee.
Technical Questions:
The mentor for this project is Sarita Hoyt (firstname.lastname@example.com).

|For best video experience, fast broadband internet connection and good quality speakers or headphones are recommended. If you cannot see video, you may need to install the latest macromedia flash player plugin. If you are on a slow internet connection, we recommend you first let the video download before playing it. Here is what you can do: Press PLAY button then immediately after that, press PAUSE. The video will still continue to download in the background. Once you notice that the download bar is full, press PLAY button again and enjoy the video in its entirety without interruption.

T-Boz GOES IN On Nicki Minaj And Oversexed Pop Chicks, DISHES On Plans For New TLC Album
TLC's T-Boz has blasted "American Idol" saying it's just a money machine and faults them for hiring a rapper (Nicki Minaj) to judge somebody's singing. Watch what she said inside and get deets on a new TLC disc in the works....
During a recent interview with ThisIsMax, TLC's T-Boz shared her thoughts on Nicki Minaj being cast as a judge on "American Idol". And she didn't hold back on how she feels about folks purely selling sex & popularity. T-Boz said,
"I don't respect half [of] the people I've seen lately. How the hell is she gon' tell me what I should be doing when her azz can't even sing. Why is she there? And then…now they've got rappers that don't even sing judging? So, this is totally based off of popularity I guess. I mean, to each their own. Get your money, honey. All I'm saying is, I will never watch [your] shows again."
Many Barbz were pissy about T-Boz comments and blasted her on social media to which T-Boz later tweeted,
"I'm in this bizz. All this crap is fact & its based on bringing in numbers now and NOT really why it was originated . So get mad...scratch ya a**...take a picture I don't but Remb it I'll say what I want that doesn't mean I don't like or respect someone lol.
"I'll say what I think &always will I think it's funny the truth is the truth ha the name calling sh*t is hysterical cuz I don't wanna watch. I don't hv a problem w/ Nikki. I don't like what the shows stand for. Where's the lil yellow bus beep beep. Y'all don't think I'm mad or bothered, we're over here cracking up cuz they going off over the wrong things it's sad but funny."
And outside of causing controversy, T-Boz revealed to the BBC that she and Chilli are back in the studio work on a new TLC album. She spoke of the new disc saying,
"We're going to still sound like TLC, evolving to whatever level we need to be at this time," T-Boz told Rolling Stone. She isn't worried about the duo's songs sounding dated: "We've always grown throughout the years and have always had our own sound… When that stops working, maybe we'll hang up the towel, but that still works."
