Derailleurs & Mechs
Please try broadening your selection by deselecting or clearing the filters on the left.
Shifting between gears in all weathers, front and rear derailleurs – known as 'mechs' – do a sterling job, but are in the firing line of anything your wheels throw up from the road or trail. Mountain bike derailleurs are made to work in all conditions, including mud, rain and grit, and need to be robust enough to take a knock or two from trees and rocks. Road bike mechs don't have to face up to quite the same conditions, but are nevertheless designed to work smoothly under pressure, while being light and functional. In addition, we have spares such as jockey wheels – the little cogs which fit inside the rear mech – and clamps for the front mech. Top brands include Shimano and SRAM.

Despite being dogged with the question, Fernando Alonso is adamant that there has been no breakdown in his relationship with Ferrari...
Despite being dogged with the question, Fernando Alonso is adamant that there has been no breakdown in his relationship with Ferrari.
Following on from a comment from Alonso about his wanting a different car for his birthday, Alonso was publicly rebuked by Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo.
Just over a month later Ferrari signed Kimi Raikkonen as the Spaniard's 2014 team-mate in a move that some saw as a sign that all is not well.
Two months later, Ferrari officially lost both Championships to Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull Racing.
Alonso, though, insists there are no issues between himself and the team.
"Fantastic," Alonso said when asked about his rapport with the team. "It has been perfect, it is perfect and it will be perfect.
"So I guess in Austin on Thursday the first question will be how is my relationship with the team...
The double World Champ, who last won a title back in 2006 with Renault, also weighed in on his season.
With just two race wins and an additional six podium results, he is fighting just to finish second in the Drivers' Championship while Ferrari are locked into a battle with Mercedes in the Constructors'.
"We didn't have the chance to fight this year," he said.
"At the beginning of the year we were a bit closer but then not quick enough and now we're fighting for other targets, which is second in the Constructors' Championship and in the Drivers'.
"That was not the main priority when he started the season, but it's a good target to achieve and a good thing to help the team."
He added: "Half our mind is on 2014; we want to win and we all start from zero."

MLB Scout School: Day 5
"Ability and desire, then you have a star!"
-MLSB Development Handbook
"You can't just look at his performance. This was instructional league. He was probably working on something," Rusty explained. My instructor and I were reviewing my scout report on a 20-year old, former first round draft pick for the Angels, who had struggled with his command that day. As we reflected on the pitcher's outing, Rusty rolled up his hand like a spy glass and asked me, "what does he have? What can he do?"
I thought about what that 6'3, left-handed pitcher could do. He threw between 90-95; mostly at 92. That's a "good" fastball (grade: 6). His fastball (FB) had occasional cutting action, with sink down in the zone. His change had fading action away from the right-handed hitter (RHH). The curve had a ¾ break. I graded his present control "below average" (grade: 4) with a future grade of 5 (average). I noted, "struggled in command. Will improve with experience." In my summation, I predicted he had the chance to be a major league (ML) quality #3 starter. In other words – he was a prospect.
As we mulled over that scouting report, Rusty was really reminding me of a life lesson. Truthfully, this scout development program has challenged me. And sometimes I doubt my abilities. But I think I need to use my own self-reflecting spyglass. I need to see not what I don't do but rather what I can do. And like that Angels pitcher – recognize that I'm just "working on something." That I'm not done developing.
Scout school is like my own Instructional League. And I might just be a prospect.

Her dancers will demonstrate passages from this work-in-progress. Our ball will close with one of Playford's dances from The English Dancing Master taught by Niel Vincent de Marino.

NOTICE! A Tennessee contractor's license is required BEFORE bidding or offering a price, for projects $25,000 and up (includes materials and labor), as a prime (general) contractor; and also subcontractors performing electrical, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing and masonry are also required to be licensed as a contractor, when the total portion on the project is $25,000 or more; masonry, when $100,000 or more. In addition, a sub to a sub would need to be licensed whenever there are more than one (1) subcontractors on the project.

Contact information for all municipalities is available at: Local Government City and County Information The Division of Fire Prevention inspects many areas and their information is at: http://www.tn.gov/fire/index.shtml The law requires the contractor performing the work to obtain the permit
Reciprocal Agreements: There is a "trade" exam waiver agreement, only, which exists with several state license agencies, for contractors having an active license with many Boards in: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio and South Carolina. For commercial, the "NASCLA National Commercial" exam is also accepted in Tennessee. For example, this does not allow using a Georgia license in Tennessee (or using a Tennessee license in Georgia). Must obtain a license from each state before contracting or bidding.
Monetary Limit
Every contractor's license is assigned a monetary limit for the amount in which a contractor may bid or contract (total cost of the project, including materials, labor, profit, etc.). This amount is approved by the Board based upon the financial statement of a contractor, as well as their experience. Projects cannot be split into phases to circumvent the monetary limit law by having multiple contracts. A tolerance of 10% is allowed pursuant Rule 0680-1-.13 and T.C.A. 62-6-103 (with the exception of BC-A/r licensees). In addition, pursuant Public Chapter 469, a contractor exceeding the monetary limit on their license does not have the right to secure a lien. All contractors bidding to any contractor as a subcontractor, if they are performing electrical, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing or masonry, they are required to be licensed and must have a monetary limit to cover the entire portion of their work, including the cost of labor and equipment; as the prime contractor cannot delete the cost of materials, labor and equipment for these portions of the work which may be considered circumventing the license law.
Owner/Name on the License
The license is obtained in the name of the entity providing the financial statement as the owner. Therefore, it may be a sole proprietor, corporation, partnership, or LLC. In many cases, the license does not necessarily belong to the qualifying agent (person taking the exam) unless they are also the owner providing the financial statement, insurance, etc. The contractor must bid and contract in the exact name as well as in the mode of operation as licensed (see Rule 0681-01-25). For example, if the license is issued to "John A. Doe" licensed as a sole proprietorship, they cannot contract as "Doe's Contracting, Inc." which is registered as a corporation. Contractors registering with an assumed name with the Tennessee Secretary of State will need to include this name to be on the license in order to operate in the name, such as "Doing Business As" (DBA). See Rule 0680-01-.25 which requires operating in the exact name as licensed. Effective July 1, 2014, a contractor's license cannot be issued in a similar name of a current licensee.
The definition of contracting in T.C.A. 62-6-102(2), states in part:
Prime Contractors - Prime contractors are those contracting directly with the owner and not to a contractor. Types of prime contractors include the following: Building (Residential, Commercial, Industrial); Electrical (including Low Voltage, Computer Cabling, Audio Visual; Alarm (see also "Alarm Systems Board"); Mechanical - Plumbing, HVAC (including geothermal well drillers who must also be licensed by TDEC); Fire Sprinklers; Heavy Construction (including Storm Damage Cleanup; Landfills; Clearing; Demolition; Crane Rigging, etc.) *Highway, Railroad & Airport (Base and Paving; Bridges; Grading, Drainage, Clearing Right of Way; Painting; etc., also see TDOT); Municipal Utility (including underground Piping; Water Lines; Gas Lines, etc.) Environmental (Asbestos; Lead; Underground Storage Tanks; etc.); Masonry (includes Bricks, Stone, Blocks bound by mortar, etc.); Specialties (Equipment Installation; Cell Towers; Playground Equipment Installation; Solar Panel Installations; etc.); and over 34 Building Subcategories: Landscaping; Roofing; Excavation; Painting; Demolition; Masonry; Flooring; Institutional Equipment, etc. See compiled list of license classifications for more types of contractors. Rules for classifications are published under Rule 0680-01-.16. For those acting as "Design/Build" contractors, make sure you also comply with the license laws of the Architects and Engineers.
Subcontractors - Contractors bidding to another contractor (not to the owner) are considered subcontractors. The law requires only the following types of subcontractors to be licensed as a contractor: *Electrical, *Plumbing, Mechanical, *HVAC and Roofing whenever the total cost of the project for each of these portions is $25,000 or more; *Masonry subcontractors when the total portion is $100,000 or more. The total cost of each portion includes materials and labor which cannot be provided by another contractor to circumvent the law (see Rule 0680-01-.13). In addition, a sub to a sub, etc., all subcontractors for these portions are required to be licensed as a contractor. *Subcontractors must be listed on the outside of the bid envelope or electronic bid cover.
Bidding - Pursuant to T.C.A. § 62-6-119(b), the prime is required to list the following subcontractors on the outside of their bid envelope, whenever each portion of the work requires a license: Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, and Masonry. In addition, the well driller's TDEC license information, name, number, expiration date and classification (G or L) must be listed if the project includes geothermal heating and cooling vertical closed loops. Only one (1) subcontractor may be listed for each classification. If the subcontractor listed on the bid envelope hires subcontractors, sub to a sub, etc., all subcontractors must be licensed. See bidding requirements in Rule 0680--01-.24 and new legislation.
*NEW! PC644 - Effective July 1, 2014, Bid Document Procedures amended to allow corrections and ommisions to the bid envelope within 48 hours.
*NEW! PC355 - Effective January 1, 2014, Roofing Subcontractors must be licensed as a contractor, whenever the roofing portion is $25,000 or more, with a BC-21 (roofing) classification. In addition, contractors licensed with the following classifications would be acceptable to perform roofing: BC (residential commercial and industrial); BC-A (residential roofing); or BC-B (commercial roofing); or BC-C (industrial roofing). Roofing subs are not required to be listed on the outside of the bid envelope, however, all roofing subcontractors must be licensed as a contractor.
Construction Managers
Construction Managers of any kind must be licensed as a contractor if the total project exceeds $25,000.
Joint Ventures: All contractors must be licensed to contract as a joint venture and may combine their monetary limit to bid a project. However, they must both have the classification on their license which is incidental and an essential part of the total project. It is advised to always include the license information of all parties on a joint venture; must be in the exact names as licensed. Joint Venture rule is 0680-1-.11 and may be reviewed from the Laws, Rules and Regulations section of the website. BC-A/r licensees cannot joint venture.
Violations: A contractor who contracts, offers to engage or obtains a permit without a license or proper classification and monetary limit is in violation of T.C.A. §62-6-120. Therefore, would be ineligible to be awarded the project, may not receive a license for six months, cannot participate in any re-bidding of the project, and subject to civil penalties. Bidding requirements entail listing the license name, number, expiration date and the classification pertaining to bid, on the outside of the bid envelope for the prime and specified subcontractors. (Refer to T.C.A. §62-6-119.)
Public Information - Files with the Board are considered public information, with the exception of the "Financial Statement" and it is considered confidential by law T.C.A. 62-6-124. "Social Security" numbers are redacted and not released. License applicants are required to provide their Social Security Number (SSN) to be used for identification purposes, only, and will not be a part of public record. This is under the authority of 42 U.S.C. 666.
Unlicensed Activity: Unlicensed contractors do not have lien rights and limited to recovery of documented expenses in court (TCA 62-6-103).
Criminal Prosecution: Contractors who take money and do not complete the project may be arrested and convicted for felony theft. See "Consumer Resources" for more information.
Exam Prepartion Schools: A school providing exam prep courses must be licensed with our Board as a Pre-Licensing Contractor Exam Provider before offering prep courses online or workshops.
Contractor's who currently hold a Tennessee contractor's license and need another license, due to having one of the following: Having an additional business/subsidiary; change in ownership; merger; or reorganization, they would need to complete the new license application and follow all steps (the exams would not need to be retaken If the Qualifying Agent (QA) is a majority owner of the new entity or remains a full time employee with only one licensed entity). The law requires a contractor's license application to be completed for the following pursuant TCA 62-6-111:
(1) Contractor applying for new license;
(2) When obtaining a second or additional license (when having more than one business entity);
(3) Reinstatement of an expired license (over 12 months, cannot renew);
(4) Change in ownership (partnership dissolved, new in-coming stockholders changing majority ownership);
(5) Reorganization of the licensed entity
If there has been no change in ownership and requesting only a name change or mode of operation change, see the "Revision" section for instructions on obtaining an amended license.
Contractor's failing to complete the license renewal within 12 months of the expiration date, would need to complete the new license application. All steps must be followed with the exception of the exams; not required to be retaken if remained active in the industry for the past two (2) years.
Summary of Reinstatement Instructions
To reinstate a contractor's license expired more than 12 months, a contractor must: complete the "Contractor's License Application"; select "Reinstatement" on page one (1); and list the license ID# of the expired license. When reinstating a contractor's license, you may apply for this new reinstated license with a name change, change in mode of operation, license limit or classification. All the steps to reinstating a contractor's license are the same as obtaining a new license, with the exception of the exams. The license does not have to be reinstated the same as it was prior to expiring. May apply in a new name, mode of operation, different monetary limit or classifications. However, the license ID number will remain the same as the expired license. Do not use the license until approved. May check status of pending application from the "License Search" at our website: http://verify.tn.gov/ after the Board meeting.
Note: It is up to the Board to determine whether the exam would need to be retaken on waiver requests and they would make this decision upon reviewing the complete application at the Board meeting; staff cannot make this determination. If there is a history of complaints, judgments, convictions, etc., you may be required to appear for an interview.
Licenses are issued for two (2) years and renewals are mailed out 90 days prior to expiration date; renewal is due 30 days prior to expiration to prevent contracting unlicensed which is a violation; there is not a grace period to continue to operate while the license is expired, however, a contractor has renewal rights up to 12 months before being required to complete a new license application to reinstate a license. Contractors working on an expired license may not be entitled to recover monies owed on a project or have lien rights. If you do not receive a renewal in the mail, you may download from our website. Online renewal is now available, however, contractors are required to submit proof of insurance (general liability and workers' compensation), and a financial statement to support their current monetary limit. These documents must be sent separately to the Board whenever renewing online. The financial statement may be prepared by the contractor, and does not have to be prepared by a CPA as long as their limit is $1,500,000 or less. For those with a limit in excess of $1,500,000, a "Reviewed" or "Audited" CPA prepared financial statement is acceptable for renewal in lieu of an "Audit" for any limit, including Unlimited. To check the status of your renewed license, you may login at the "Verify a License". The Board's renewal section may be contacted by email at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Renewal Resource for Contractors
FAQ's for Renewals
Online Renewal
The "Online Renewal" process for
"Contractors" currently only allows a means to pay online and answer questions
on the renewal form. It does NOT provide an option to attach required documents
to complete the renewal process. Contractor licensees must mail, fax or email the
outstanding required documents (proof of insurance, financial statements, and/or
responses to questions requiring attachments, such as disclosures of felony,
complaints, etc). Therefore, online renewals will be incomplete for these licensees until information is
supplied to the Board. Please return outstanding documents with a copy of your
confirmation of online payment to assist in quickly matching up to your online
renewal to complete processing by: Email at: email@example.com -or-
Fax: (615) 532-2868; or by mail. We apologize for this
inconvenience. There is not a means to retire a license online at this
Paper Renewal
Most Common Reasons for Delay of Renewal
See "Forms and Downloads" if additional resources are needed to complete the renewal or see our FAQ's.
Contractors who are not currently working, may place the license in "Retirement" in lieu of renewing, to retain renewal rights (renewal rights expire after 12 months). Retirement may be on an annual basis; biennial basis; retired with a maxium of seven (7) consecutive years; or as long as the license has an active status, it may be retired anytime by providing the $25.00 retirement fee for each year.
Contractors may take the license out of retirement any time by completing the renewal. If bringing a contractor's license out of retirement during the second year of the renewal cycle, the law does not provide a means to waive one year of the renewal fee. For example, a license with an expiration date of 3/31/2012 (2012 Renewal) was retired on March 1, 2012 for two years with a retired expiration date of 3/31/2014, then if the license is reactivated on June 1, 2013, the contractor would be required to pay the 2012 renewal fees ($200) when bringing out of retirement and the license expiration date would remain the same as 3/31/2014 (after renewing the 2012 renewal). However, if you place the license in retirement after renewing the license, you would not be required to repay renewal fees or resubmit the financial statement, insurance, etc., since they were supplied earlier with the renewal.
LICENSE REVISION REQUESTS (Most Require Board Review - Deadline date to provide to the Board office is the last day of the month prior to the next Board meeting)
2. Increase Monetary Limit (Raise limit on license)
3. Mode of Operation Change - Transfer
4. Name Change Application (Change name on license)
5. Qualifying Agent (QA) Add / Change Request (Add or remove a Qualifying Agent)
Deadline Date for License Revision Requests:
Last day of the month prior to the next Board meeting (requests requiring Board approval). See "Public Meetings Calendar" for dates. Board Approval required for the following revisions: Adding a Classification; Increase Monetary Limit; Name Change; and Mode of Operation Change (transfers). An interview is not required, unless, there are complaints or felony convictions. These four (4) types of license revision requests must be approved by the Board at their regularly scheduled meetings. Staff must receive in the Board office prior to the deadline date (last day of the month prior to the Board meeting) in order to have in time to process (review, audit, copy for members, add to meeting books, etc.). Please allow 5 to 7 days for mail delivery when submitting prior to the deadline date. Those needing a license revised prior to the Board's next meeting may qualify as a "Hardship" (request for early/emergency review) if the owner of the project needs and supplies the request.
**Note: Do not contract until the license "Revision" or new license has been approved**
A Tennessee license is first needed before offering to perform or
bid work. Reciprocation is not with the license and is only a "TRADE
EXAM" waiver with out of state participating agencies.
Licensees may renew online or continue to use a paper renewal. Licensees may also apply for changes (revisions) to their current license. See the following for additional resources:

In response to HeygangLH's comment:
Enough of Getzo-he's wearing too many boston team logos today to have a real discussion. Some said the Jets are overrated.I questioned that. I would have to say the Jets have been a pleasant surprise to jets fans and a thorn in the side of NE fans.
Saying the Jets are overrated when nobody expected them to win a game is nonsensical.
Now on to the next subject-How much money will each of you spend this year for the Holidays on boston teams team gear?
It's OK Leon you can say it, Championships Team Logo Gear!!! Good luck on your hunt for a Joe Namath Gear...

The sensor that turns the screen off in my pocket or at my cheek is suddenly turning the screen off when my thumb is within two inches of the top of the screen. It is difficult to grab the notification bar without triggering it, and holding my phone sideways is now an exercise in frustration. Is there a way to fix this? Did some update recently come out for the Galaxy Nexus (GSM)?

Possible reasons:
If you updated just before noticing this problem, you might have to switch back or wait for another update to fix that again. Installing a 3rd party update like Cyanogenmod9 might also fix your problem.
The problem ended up being transient; I rarely restart my phone. Somehow it got stuck in 'on call' mode, so the proximity sensor was enabled despite nothing being running. A reboot resolved the silly issue.

I know I may not be understanding your question the way you intend it but Bryan Denny just pointed out AndroidAudioHacks.com which I believe will solve your problem but not mine (because it only works on HTC phones).
I don't think so. But depends of the application, if it's open source you can submit a patch or ask for bug fix/new feature.

Weldonwelding, Your right about the filler metal thing, Thats why sinks that are welded into counter tops have a bad habit of dropping out.
One thing that no one mentioned and thats to use the biggest cup you can stand.
Using a small cup and turning your pressure up to compensate creates problems.

The food grade container should be weld very careful. It can be done by using a high-grit
abrasive within the range of 150-220. It can be identified by its short, parallel lines which
runs the length of the material.

Hi mate, this is my first post here.
I work the station outages mostly but I did spend about 4 years just doing food grade stuff, in the uk it was all 316 on every job I was on , some of the flanges and unions were 304 sometimes . All Pipework here is purged and welded without wire but on brackets and other fabrications we normally just use 316 wire on everything if I remember correctly ?
Dont listen to folk saying (if you need to ask the job is not for you)
That makes me laugh

Connecticut's only burn center has a new name—The Connecticut Burn Center—and is undergoing a $1.5 million modernization to benefit patients, their families and staff.
After the sun went down, however, his sleep was far from restful. "I tossed and turned; I took medication to help me fall asleep. Then I dozed rather than slept, and I woke up throughout the night," he says. His wife, Cynthia, asked him to sleep in the spare bedroom because he snored, which disturbed her sleep.
The Burn Center was established in 1973 with fundraising help led by then-Bridgeport Hospital Chairman of Surgery Andrew Panettieri and his wife Henrietta. Today, The Connecticut Burn Center is one of only 59 burn centers in the United States and is recognized by the American College of Surgeons and the American Burn Association for meeting high national standards in patient safety and quality care.
"The new family suite will provide a comfortable place for patients' families to stay at the hospital," says Burn Center Nurse Manager Jacqueline Laird. "We have critically burned patients whose families are here with them 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
"To have your family with you means everything," says retired pilot Paul Hagopian, who was a Burn Center patient after he was severely burned in a 1994 plane crash.

Reflexite V92 Daybright Microprismatic Conspicuity Tape is a DOT-compliant prismatic conspicuity tape with 5-year durability used for commercial truck and trailer marking. It's an economical and effective alternative to the 10-year products when retrofitting equipment. The tape is a tough weather-and solvent resistant (including petrol and diesel) product designed for rugged outdoor use on the sides and rear of trucks, trailers, tankers, dump trucks, tow trucks, pick up beds, and other types of work trucks and mobile industrial equipment. Comes with the DOT-C2 certification mark as per NHTSA 49 CFR 571.108 and it is composed of cube corner (microprism) retroreflective elements integrally bonded to a flexible, smooth-surfaced, tough and weather-resistant UV stabilized polyester film. The prism surfaces are coated with a vacuum deposition of aluminum to provide a mirror surface to the prism facets. The resulting tape is not more than 0.008 inch thick and comes with an aggressive high-tack pressure sensitive adhesive that is designed for application to bare and painted metals, fiberglass, structural composite materials and more. It resists edge lift due to repeated mechanical and hand washing.
Reflexite DOT-C2 Conspicuity Tape is manufactured by Reflexite and rolls are typically cut from 30-inch log rolls so will ship on a plain neutral core (or an ISC Racers Tape branded core). This comes in an alternating 6 inch red / 6 inch white triangle design pattern (please see Reflexite V52 for the diamond plate design). The tape is intended for application to medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles including towing and recovery vehicles and a great variety of vocational work trucks, including but not limited to construction vehicles, refuse haulers, step vans, utility trucks, tank trucks, auto carriers and more. V92 Daybright improves vehicle visibility from a variety of angles at night and in conditions of poor visibility, giving motorists increased reaction time. Because the product is thin and flexible, it can be easily applied to flat and curved surfaces. Also maintains reflectivity after impact. White lines in pattern give it maximum daytime visibility.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Rey Curtis on Law & Order (and, to be honest, for his four-year stint as Julia Roberts's beau). Influenced by his Peruvian-born mom, he's active in Native American causes.

DEC. 18: Pitt has been a fixture on "Sexiest Men Alive" lists since he played the seductive hitchhiker in Thelma & Louise (1991). He then went on to become a movie megastar (and is betrothed to one, to boot). Next year he'll be in the WWII film Fury, playing an army sergeant called Wardaddy.

DEC. 19: Her role as a steel worker with a passion for dance in 1983's Flashdance — along with the ripped-sweatshirt craze her character inspired — is forever nestled in our pop-culture memories. The Yale grad later starred in Showtime's The L Word (2004-09), about a group of lesbians in L.A.

DEC. 8: She's been a Breck shampoo model, Bond girl, vegetarian PETA supporter, tabloid-magnet (thanks to a bitter divorce from Alec Baldwin) and Oscar winner for her supporting role in 1997's L.A. Confidential. Her 18-year-old daughter with Baldwin, Ireland, is (of course) a model.

DEC. 9: He's a bit weird and evil looking, yes, but maybe it's just the roles he picks. He was perfectly sleazy as Vicomte de Valmont in Dangerous Liaisons and psychotic in In the Line of Fire. Yet, last June, he saved a man who'd fallen and cut his throat, staunching the bleeding until help arrived.

|Driver Specs.:
|Driver/software: Comes with original purchase, on CD-ROM, but latest versions are downloaded from Logitech support site.
Title: Logitech Gaming Software
Software Version: I had been using LGS v8.53.154_x64, but it did not work well.
Currently using G930_100275 (2011-08-05), though latest version seems to be: G930_100364b
|Test System Specs
|MS Win7-64 Home Premium, Win8-64, Win8.1-64 and PRO
|Supported OSes
|Compatible with Win 7, 8 and 8.1 64-bit/32-bit and Windows XP
|Support Methods
|Driver/software download and support via the above Logitech link. Has a very good FAQ, which also tells you how to use the headset without using the Logitech software.
Handbook (US-Eng.) "Getting Started" is here.
|Upgrade Policy
|Driver/software upgradeable for FREE from above Logitech link. @tomicjr is probably right where he says in the discussion below "Updates seem to be mostly for [new] game compatibility.".
|Pricing Scheme
|When I initially reviewed the headset, pricing on Amazon varied at US$90 - $100, though people on DC forum have fed back that retail pricing was more typically US$130-$150.
Because I wanted to try the headset out before buying, I chose a local NZ retail outlet who would let me do it "on approval", so here's a plug for the excellent folk at roctech.co.nz aka ExtremePC.
Pricing on Amazon as at 2014-06-12 varies at US$90 - $160.
Pricing at Logitech site on 2015-05-09 is US$188.

Intro and Overview:
This review follows on from the DCF thread started on 2010-10-20 by @mouser:
Glowing web review of Logitech G930 wireless headset
I did at first start to update that thread, but then realised that it was a bit old, so I have done this Mini-Review instead.
Becoming fed up with the leads into my laptop being yanked about whenever I stood up wearing my noise-cancelling headphones whilst forgetting that they were plugged in to my laptop, I decided that I really needed a decent wireless Hi-Fi headset - one that included a mic - and so I ended up deciding to trial and buy the G930 (at a reduced price). My decision was largely based on this PC Mag review: Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930.
(Review dated September 26, 2011.)
Short story: (follow the hyperlink for the full review)
Long range. High-quality audio output. Handy controls on the headset. Can be used while charging.
Bass isn't particularly powerful.
Bottom Line
The Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 stands as one of the best wireless gaming headsets you can find, with high-quality audio output, smart design, and an impressive range.

Bottom Line
The Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 stands as one of the best wireless gaming headsets you can find, with high-quality audio output, smart design, and an impressive range.
In the above PCMag.com review it was given a great review and made the Editor's Choice.
Wanting to save (not spend) some money, I did try out the smaller Logitech Wireless Headset H600 first, but it was cr*p ( a technical term) and so I returned it to the store the next day and bought the G930 headset - and kept it.
After having used the G930 mic/headphone headset for a couple of months, I was able to say that it provides one of the nicest, most comfortable and good listening headphone experiences that I have ever come across - it has excellent sound, and I found the bass excellent too, contrary to the PCMag review. If you select/adjust the bass or other frequencies in the equaliser, you will be able to get what your ears like.
The switch between Stereo and Surround Sound seems to produce good stereo, and if you are listening to a 5.1 or 7.1 audio track (music or movie), then selecting the 7.1 switch produces an amazingly lifelike surround sound.
Some stereo sounds better (to me) in the 7.1 mode, though my daughter preferred stereo in the stereo mode. "Chip" music tracks seem to sound decidedly wrong in 7.1 and just fine in stereo.
(The headset's stereo function doesn't seem to be called "stereo" anywhere though - which I don't understand.)
The original software and drivers that came on the CD-ROM with the headset seemed a bit buggy, but there have been several online updates issued since I started using this headset, and it all now seems to run sweetly. However, the functionality of the three programmable keys - which were OK initially - does not always stick/persist (I have them set up for Winamp), and this seems to be caused by the driver software.
- The headset functionality does not operate via USB cable, only via a USB wireless dongle.
- The headset is "smart" and detects transmission/reception activity. It automatically switches itself off after a continuous period of time (about 10 minutes) of inactivity in transmission/reception. This is to conserve the battery, which seems to last a long time anyway.
- The headset can only be switched ON manually. When you do switch it ON, it makes a discernible but faint soft tone, to let you know that it is working, and it makes the same tone when manually switched OFF.
When it automatically switches itself OFF (no activity or battery going flat), it makes the same tone.
- The headset needs to be connected to a USB port for charging the battery. I usually connect it to the USB outlet in my laptop's power supply/charger, so charging can take place regardless of whether the laptop is on or off. Charging can take place whilst the headset wireless functionality is in use on the laptop.
Who this headset is designed for:
Seems to be aimed primarily at gamers who would like Dolby audio 7.1 Surround Sound for in-game realism, and mutated microphone speech in a game (I have tried out but have not needed to use the mutated microphone speech functionality).
However, many music tracks and DVDs come with either Dolby 7.1 sound output as standard, or as a selectable output option. In such cases there is little doubt that Dolby 7.1 can add a whole new dimension to the listening experience. It may also give an edge to monaural recordings, though I have not experimented with this yet.
So this headset could have strong appeal to audiophiles (including me).
The Good:
- Very nice headset all round. Good listening experience. Mic works fine.
- Quality of headset design. Solidly built. Manufacture and functionality is first-rate.
- Good working range from the transmitter.
- High-quality audio output, switchable between normal Stereo and Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound.
- All the controls and the mic armature on the headset are located on the LEFT headphone, so there's no confusion.
- Very handy arrangement of controls on the headset - controls have thoughtful ergonomic design.
- Comfortable fit and can be worn for a long time without discomfort - good ergonomic design.
- Can be used whilst charging.
The needs improvement section:
- The software has "application aware" functionality, but the software/drivers seem to sometimes behave inconsistently between version releases - this is only as regards the 3 programmable function buttons. The functions are not always persistent. I think this may have been fixed in the latest software update.
- There is no slot in the headset to store the USB wireless network xmitter dongle (which is about 2.5" long), when it is not in use. I would have preferred one of those very small/micro USB wireless network xmitter dongles that are virtually unnoticeable.
However, I have a fix for this: When not in use, the dongle can be stored snugly inside the lefthand headphone, by pushing it in lengthways between the edge of the red plastic casing and the soft ear cushioning pad.
Why I think you should use this product:
I think gamers would be very happy with the quality of the Stereo or the Dolby audio 7.1 Surround Sound, and the choice of plain or mutated microphone speech in a game.
Audiophiles could well be very happy with the sound.
How it compares to similar headsets
Though I do not have the experience to compare this headset with other "gamer" headsets, the published reviews on the Internet rate this headset pretty highly.
I really like this headset.
A very nice headset all round.
After about two years of use:
- Verdict - still excellent headphones.
- Wear and tear: the shiny surface skin of the ear-cushions started to peel off where there had been friction between the cushion and my spectacle frames (which I always wear when using the laptop). By May 2015, it had all peeled off! This is a cosmetic effect rather than functional. In my experience it inevitably happens with my headphones - good and bad - sometimes sooner than two years elapsed time.
