Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
AdHouse will collect Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca 's classic Street Angel into a fancy 176-page hardcover. According to The Comics Reporter, the collection will resemble AdHouse's Afrodisiac volume (which was, indeed, pretty fancy). It also looks like the publisher is releasing a slipcase version so you can house your copies of Afrodisiac and Street Angel in one place.
If you've never experienced Street Angel, originally released by SLG Publishing, here's the description from AdHouse's site:
Back in 2010, when Thomas Scioli started bolstering his online presence and entered the realm of webcomics with American Barbarian, I was curious to see how things would play out (as may or may not have been obvious in my June 2010 interview of him). I'll be honest and admit that now, more than a year later (and with far more of the project online to read), American Barbarian far exceeds what I expected. As much as I have always enjoyed and respected his Kirby-influenced approach to visual storytelling, after reading this double post Apocalyptic tale, I am far more impressed with Scioli's funky ear for dialogue. It's like reading a 1970s comic written by a minimalist version of David Mamet. Doubting my quirky endorsement of the work? Then realize AdHouse is collecting the webcomic for a 256-page/6 " x 9 " /hardcover release early this year. If you don't trust my tastes, then you should definitely trust AdHouse publisher Chris Pitzer. To mark the upcoming release, Scioli and I did another of our quick email interviews. Before diving into the interview, let me take a second to agree with JK Parkin's sentiment in this post, back in June, that DC Comics should have considered Scioli for one of the New 52 titles that it launched back in September. So I was surprised to learn (as you can read in this interview) that DC did not contact Scioli when assembling the creative team for the new OMAC title. As I edited this interview I realized it was hard to find my favorite part of our discussion, but it may be the revelation that the look for Two-Tank Omen came to Scioli in a dream. A close second was learning a bit about his next webcomic, Final Frontier. Feel free to chime in with your favorite part of this interview and/or Scioli's work in the comments section, please.
Tim O'Shea: As an independent creator, the job of marketing your work falls to you. Do you think over the years, you have gotten more comfortable marketing yourself? On a related note, how did you decide upon doing this one minute trailer for American Barbarian?
Thomas Scioli: Even the largest comics publishers don't seem to have a budget for promotion, so I'd say any creator, independent or mainstream, can benefit from doing their own promotion. It's something that I've never been comfortable with, but do out of necessity. I think I have gotten better about it, because in the beginning, it would give me crippling anxiety, now it's just mild trepidation. The idea for doing a trailer came from having seen other people do it. AdHouse's own Afrodisiac trailer and [Top Shelf's] Infinite Kung-Fu [trailer] are two that made an impression on me when they made the rounds. It got me excited about those two works, so I wanted to do the same. I'd been dabbling with animation, back when I started AmBarb so it was a natural outgrowth of that, too. Once you start doing a webcomic it isn't long before you realize, hey, why not just do a cartoon?
Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca's Afrodisiac took the comics world by storm last year and recently received an Eisner Award nomination. Only thing is, the book is currently between printings.
"To ensure that every possible Eisner Award voter has all of the necessary information to cast their ballot in a responsible and educated manner, we have decided to put the entire book online for FREE," the team posted on AdHouse's site. You can check it out for yourself over at the Issuu website.
Jim Rugg's made himself known through a series of thrilling projects both creator-owned and work-for-hire, doing work for Vertigo's Minx line, collaborating with the frontman of the Dandy Warhols on a graphic novel, and doing two excellent books of his own (Afrodisiac and Street Angel).
And now he's bringing it to Detroit for one night only.
On March 4, Rugg will speak at the Michigan's Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit as part of their annual Comic Jam which is co-hosted with local retailer Green Brain Comics. Rugg's scheduled to go on stage at 7 p.m., and will talk about his experiences in comics — and maybe give a sneak peek of what he's working on next. Come early and enjoy this free all-ages Comic Jam, which starts at 4 p.m.
If you're looking for a company that started and ended strong 2010, look no further than AdHouse Books, the independent company that's published books by Joshua Cotter, Paul Pope and James Jean, among others. Although they aren't the kind of company that puts out a huge amount of books, they are one you can always count on to put out something interesting.
As for those bookends for the year, AdHouse kicked off 2010 with the release of Afrodisiac by Brian Maruca and Jim Rugg, and ended it with Duncan the Wonder Dog by Adam Hines, which landed at the top of some folks' best comics of the year lists. (Including my own; it came in at No. 16 on CBR's list for 2010).
I spoke with AdHouse Publisher Chris Pitzer about the previous year, the above two books, their new AdDistro initiative and what they have coming up for 2011. My thanks to Chris for sending over a lot of cool art to show you as well.
JK: Thanks for agreeing to talk to us today, Chris. I thought we could start off talking about 2010, and in particular some the bigger projects you put out.Let's start with something that seems like it came out a long time ago, Afrodisiac. It seemed to garner a lot of attention when it came out in January.
Chris: Thanks for the interest in AdHouse, JKP! I dig what the Robot 6 blog does, so I appreciate the opportunity to chat about this stuff. In regards to Afrodisiac, it was an HONOR to work with Jim and Brian on that. We've been "dancing" around the topic of publishing it for years, and it was nice to finally have it happen. Yeah, it feels like so long ago, doesn't it?
Welcome once again to What Are You Reading? Our guest this week is Van Jensen, writer of Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer and Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer and the Great Puppet Theater. To see what Van and the rest of the Robot 6 crew are reading, click below.
AdHouse Books has announced the winners of their "Objet d'Afro"/Afrodisiac art contest. At the top of this post you'll see the contribution by "King Daddy" winner Marcussparcus; you can also check out the second and third place winners, "Cigarette Pimp" Katie Skelly and "Poppa-stoppa" Mike Shea.
Bonus: Don't miss you chance to get a limited edition Afrodisiac T-shirt from ToonSeum.
Regular readers of Robot 6 will not be surprised to read we're fans of Jim Rugg's work. Rugg and I recently did an email interview regarding his latest collaboration with Brian Maruca, Afrodisiac (AdHouse). The book is described here as: "Inspired by the blaxploitation films of the 1970s and classic superhero comics, the Afrodisiac collects art and comics starring the original super badass and featuring cool cars, sexy women, scary monsters, self-righteous superheroes, corrupt cops, aliens, Dracula, Richard Nixon." Any interview so deeply focused on an unforgettable independent work of this caliber is a blast–partially also thanks to the wacky turns our discussion takes, including into the realm of Wolverine. My thanks to Rugg for his time and to longtime pal of mine (as well as a great publisher), AdHouse's Chris Pitzer, for his assistance in arranging the interview.
Tim O'Shea: Before getting into the guts of the book, one quick question on the back cover. Who had the idea to do the female silhouette glaze (or what would it be called) on the back cover?
Jim Rugg: It's called a spot varnish, son. When we figured out the front cover design, Chris Pitzer (Adhouse Books publisher and all-around awesome design guru) suggested a spot varnish for the glasses. That sounded great to me. So I wanted to take advantage of the spot varnish on the back too. But the illustration on the back didn't really lend itself to the same treatment as the front. I wasn't sure the back cover effect would work, but figured it was the back cover. Give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised by how it turned out.
AdHouse Books has a Flickr photo set documenting the Southern leg of cartoonist Jim Rugg's "AfroTour" in support of the release of the Afrodisiac hardcover. Rugg and AdHouse Publisher Chris Pitzer appeared at signings at Velocity Comics in Richmond, Virginia, Chapel Hill Comics in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Heroes Aren't Hard to Find in Charlotte, North Carolina.
"This was the first time I've done anything with a comics store outside of my hometown," Rugg writes on his blog, "and was overwhelmed with everyone's kindness and support from the store employees to readers both new and old."

Released: Jan 01st, 1989
Running Time: 60
Director: Vivyan Cooper
Company: Cadre Limited
Cast: Michael Vincent, Vladimir Corea, Tanya Fox, Cara Lott
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Film
Incessant basically consists of two long erotic segments, both with one girl and two guys, featuring the usual array of bisexual scenes mixed together. Cara Lott is very hot and sleazy, but Tanya Fox, in the second segment, looks a bit tired. Although grainy, the texture of film covers up the technical shortcomings and it still looks better than a cheap video. It's a very basic bisexual sampling, recommended for stores who do well with this genre.

Hello All =). I was recenlty playing around with the favicon.ico plug-ins. I installed a few, the took them off. On one of them I even uploaded an ico. Then after seeing it did not work in IE, I just delted them all off. Then I just happen to log in using Chrome. There, I saw the .ico file I uploaded, but it looked funny. then I realized I deleted all those favicon plug-ins. So the question is this, where is the file hiding and how do I get it off? Currenlty I'm using the atheros theme.
Any suggestions?

2016 Tennessee Titans Tickets and Schedule
The Titans began playing professional football in the AFL in 1960 as the Houston Oilers. It wasn't until 1997 that the Oilers up and moved to Tennessee and 1999 that they became the Titans that we know them as today. The Oilers had immediate success in the AFL, winning the AFL championship in each of the franchise's first two seasons. Tough times befell the Oilers after their move to the NFL, missing the playoffs for the team's first eight years in the NFL. With the arrival of running back Earl Campbell in 1978 came three straight playoff appearances, but the Oilers soon bottomed out again. In 1987 the Oilers began a run of success that would last them 17 seasons. After returning to the playoffs for four straight seasons from 1987-1990, the Oilers broke a streak of 23 straight years without a division title, winning the AFC Central for the first time in 1991. From 1987 to 2003, the Oilers/Titans made the playoffs 11 times. The franchise has retired the numbers of seven players, including current head coach Mike Munchak's No. 67. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Tennessee Titans tickets.

The 2016 Tennessee Titans schedule is set, and after finishing the 2015 season as the worst team in NFL, things will hopefully be improving. The Titans finished the 2015 season fourth in the AFC South and a record of 3-13, an improvement over their 2014 record of 2-14. This year will be the first full season with head coach Mike Mularkey. The Titans drafted offensive tackle Jack Conklin in the first round of the 2016 NFL draft. Marcus Mariota will be Tennessee's starting quarterback for the 2016 season after missing the last part of the 2015 season due to an injury. With a new head coach, the team should continue to improve on previous seasons, and it will be interesting to see if they can clinch their first playoff spot since 2008. TicketCity is the place to go for Tennessee Titans tickets. Whether you are planning on cheering on the Titans at Nissan Stadium, or supporting Tennessee on the road, TicketCity has some of the best deals for all Tennessee Titans tickets, including home and away games.
Check out our Tennessee Titans Season Preview History page for previews of previous Titans seasons.
The Titans play their home games at Nissan Stadium, located in Nashville, Tennessee. The only home the Titans have known since their move, Nissan Stadium holds nearly 69 thousand screaming fans. In addition to two state-of-the-art video boards, Nissan Stadium has recently undergone a change to improve game day for Titans fans. The stadium now includes the Titans Party Stage, from which there are live performances at points during the game for the fans in the Music City. The Tennessee Titans home bench is on the Nissan Stadium sideline with sections 132-138. Nissan Stadium parking information is covered in our Titans event guide.
Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, Indianapolis Colts
This rivalry escalated in 2000 when these two teams had classic battles during the regular season and in the playoffs. After the NFL realigned the divisions in 2002, these two teams stopped playing each other twice a year. However, these two teams have met more times over the years in the playoffs and with some of the players on the Titans switching sides and playing for the Ravens through the years, this rivalry continues to be one of the more intense matchups in the NFL.
These two teams first met in 1970 when the Titans were the Houston Oilers. This rivalry was one of the best in the NFL when they met two times a year. The matchup between these two teams is most remembered by the controversial call in the 1979 AFC Championship game when Oilers' quarterback Dan Pastorini threw a pass to wide receiver Mike Renfro in the end zone that was ruled incomplete.
The two most successful franchises in the division, this rivalry has become one of the best in the NFL over the years because the stakes are usually at its highest when these two teams play. The two teams have combined for more than 8 AFC South titles to go along with many more playoff appearances over the last 10+ years.
It is not often that a rivalry in the NFL can extend to the college ranks, but in these two cities, the fan bases hate each other year around. Playing in Gator and Volunteer country has made this rivalry more intense when the NFL teams play against each other two times a season. The Titans and Jaguars have battled it out for division supremacy since 1995 with a playoff meeting mixed in between.
This rivalry goes deeper than just being division foes. The Texans became a franchise because the Titans left Houston to relocate to Tennessee. It is evident how heated this rivalry is when these two teams play each as a fight broke out in 2010 that led to two players getting ejected. While this rivalry may still be in its infant stage in terms of years, it has already become one of the more intense matchups in the NFL.
The Titans have won 8+ division titles and have made the playoffs more than 20 times since the organization started in 1960. The highlight of the Titans run during the Super Bowl era was their AFC Championship in 1999. The Titans nearly won the Super Bowl that season, but came two yards short from hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.
Gates open to Tennessee Titans tickets holders two hours before the start of the game.
Whiskey Kitchen (118 12th Avenue South) is a great high-end restaurant to grab something other than the normal pub fare. The have an extensive whiskey/bourbon selection ensuring a perfect pairing with any menu item. The Tennessee Whiskey Yam Fries and Fire Roasted Salmon are insanely good.
All children ages two and under do not need Tennessee Titans tickets to enter Nissan Stadium.
If you do not have a permit to park one of the best lots (very close to the stadium) is Lot E between South 1st and South 2nd streets just south of James Robertson Parkway. There are two lots 2nd & Church (210 2nd Ave. N) and Whitefront (205 2nd Ave.) that are close to the Woodland Street Bridge and offer the closest walk to the stadium. Prices at these lots vary and they fill up quickly so plan to arrive a few hours before game time to get a spot. Note: The Woodland Street Bridge closes to traffic and becomes available to shuttle buses and pedestrians a few hours before the game.

Law of the iterated logarithm
In probability theory, the law of the iterated logarithm describes the magnitude of the fluctuations of a random walk. The original statement of the law of the iterated logarithm is due to A. Y. Khinchin (1924).[1] Another statement was given by A.N. Kolmogorov in 1929.[2]
Let {Yn} be independent, identically distributed random variables with means zero and unit variances. Let Sn = Y1 + … + Yn. Then
where "log" is the natural logarithm, "lim sup" denotes the limit superior, and "a.s." stands for "almost surely".[3] [4]
The law of iterated logarithms operates "in between" the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem. There are two versions of the law of large numbers — the weak and the strong — and they both state that the sums Sn, scaled by n−1, converge to zero, respectively in probability and almost surely:
On the other hand, the central limit theorem states that the sums Sn scaled by the factor n−½ converge in distribution to a standard normal distribution. By Kolmogorov's zero-one law, for any fixed M, the probability that the event occurs is 0 or 1. Then
so with probability 1. An identical argument shows that with probability 1 as well. This implies that these quantities cannot converge almost surely. In fact, they cannot even converge in probability, which follows from the equality and the fact that the random variables and are independent and both converge in distribution to
The law of the iterated logarithm provides the scaling factor where the two limits become different:
Thus, although the quantity is less than any predefined ε > 0 with probability approaching one, that quantity will nevertheless be dropping out of that interval infinitely often, and in fact will be visiting the neighborhoods of any point in the interval (-√2,√2) almost surely.
Generalizations and variants[edit]
The law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) for a sum of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables with zero mean and bounded increment dates back to Khintchine and Kolmogorov in the 1920s.
Since then, there has been a tremendous amount of work on the LIL for various kinds of dependent structures and for stochastic processes. Following is a small sample of notable developments.
Hartman-Wintner (1940) generalized LIL to random walks with increments with zero mean and finite variance.
Strassen (1964) studied LIL from the point of view of invariance principles.
Stout (1970) generalized the LIL to stationary ergodic martingales.
Acosta (1983) gave a simple proof of Hartman-Wintner version of LIL.
Wittmann (1985) generalized Hartman-Wintner version of LIL to random walks satisfying milder conditions.
Vovk (1987) derived a version of LIL valid for a single chaotic sequence (Kolmogorov random sequence). This is notable as it is outside the realm of classical probability theory.
The law of iterated logarithm for pseudo-randomness[edit]
Yongge Wang has showed that the law of the iterated logarithm holds for polynomial time pseudorandom sequences also.[5][6] Furthermore, the Java based software testing tool statistical testing techniques for pseudorandom generation is available for testing whether a randomness generator outputs sequences that satisfy the LIL.

whhuuuut You would think under Specifications that would be a selling feature on the box
Spider Moonlight "STUDIO" Headphones - Page 3
Gear mentioned in this thread:
sounds like some LIGHT is coming to this can,
i dun mind the cable being stiff....is it COPPER? ( as long as it isnt too heavy :P)
recently heard a pair of recabled T5p on copper wires,
the bass is huge...totally diff from the stock t5p.
No real "Specifications" section on the box (I'll try to get a picture of it later! lol)
This is on the "specifications" of the box:
"Specially engineered and modulated detachable connecting cable made from highly conductive, Kevlar-reinforced, braided oxygen-free copper"
The cable is long, is mega stiff and IT'S HEAVY AS HELL!!! lol
(again, maybe that's also affecting how I perceive sound due to fit with the Huge pads!).
My Denon LA5000 does have a heavy 10 feet cable but man, the Moonlight are definitely worse!

10,000 volt powerline copper maybe?
I have to admit looking at these on build quality alone they look incredible. Not heard much of anything in here besides this thread though. So are we talking not too much sub bass and generally like the quoted description regardless of fit? Anything similar that is more commonplace they might compare to roughly?
u think it sounds like a german maestro?

So are we talking not too much sub bass and generally like the quoted description regardless of fit? Anything similar that is more commonplace they might compare to roughly?
I mean, to my ears, it really reminds me of the Shure SRH940s... just with even more boosted highs. Sub-bass it's there but it doesn't punch as hard as even the SRHs. Could it be fit issues due to the huge earpads, stiff, heavy cables pulling down, my "well chiselled angular slim modelling face" (hehehehe), or all of the above? Maybe.
Haven't heard the Maestro. Sorry.
BTW, nick_n, if you are looking for "Monitoring" headphones, take a look at the Yamaha MT220! They are kicking my arse right now, they sound extremely good with the exception of a bit of a boost up top which makes hissing more apparent. The Moonlight wishes they could sound like the Yamaha's! ;-)
Hmm interesting, what are your final thoughts then? Do you think they can be modded in some way?
http://www.head-fi.org/t/615030/unleash-the-full-potential-of-your-brainwavz-hm5-or-fa-003-with-mods (this came to mind, considering they have similar housing)
Final thoughts are basically the same as what I've already mentioned...
Haven't tried modding them at all... not yet at least. ;-)
Oh, awesome. Thanks for point that out.
If you decide to mod them someday, i'll be interested to know how much they change sound wise.
Noticed that I never posted any pics...
Here are a few...
This is how they look in their huge-ass case! LOL
Extreme pads!
The writing saying "Stereo Headphones" look like something out of the 70s!
Dual entry.
Similar motif, both are "Professional Monitors"... Guess which one I like more... .... ....
HAHAHA look at the pad difference in size!!!! Still, find the Yamaha's more comfortable... ... :(
moon rivvvvvver......zzzzz
You got 'em?
nah...i aint tat brave... or rich yet. :P
is this can a marketing or design disaster...? or is it a runaway success elsewhere, n we missed it all?

The hardware around the cans look an awful lot like the presentation of the FA 003-Ti...
Are the pads removable via twisting off a "pad-plate"? If so try some HM-5 pads stock to the FA-003. You should regain all of the lost frequency.
With my Ti headphones the thicker the pad the worse the sound became.

Duke found its way to No. 1 in the ESPN/USA Today women's basketball
The Blue Devils jumped over North Carolina to replace Maryland
at the top of the poll Monday, two days after beating the Terrapins
81-62 with an impressive display of balance and defense. North
Carolina remained second and Maryland, which had been No. 1, slipped to third.
There also were changes at the bottom, with Texas (13-4) joining at 24th and DePaul dropping
Duke began the season with some questions after losing
second-team All-American Monique Currie and two others to the WNBA
draft. The Blue Devils lost to Maryland in overtime in the national championship game last season.
The Blue Devils also are without 6-foot-5 junior Chante Black,
who has yet to play this season because of a hyperextended right
So to be 18-0 and ranked No. 1 -- yes, coach Gail Goestenkors is
"We knew our players had to adjust to new roles," Goestenkors
said. "Our role players had to become go-to players. I'm impressed
how quickly they've adjusted to their new roles and embraced their
new roles."
They've adjusted so well that Duke has defeated six Top 25
teams. The closest game in that bunch was a nine-point win over
Bowling Green, now ranked 17th.
"I was worried a little early on with our nonconference
schedule, knowing it was difficult and then how tough the ACC was
going to be," Goestenkors said. "We knew we were young and
searching for a new identity and thought we might hit some bumps
along the way. This team has really responded to every challenge it
The Blue Devils certainly have responded on the defensive end.
They're giving up just 46.8 points a game and holding opponents to
30 percent shooting. Maryland is the only team that has scored more
than 54 points on Duke.
Guard Lindsey Harding, the ACC defensive player of the year last
season, sets the tone with her quickness. Harding and the other
perimeter players can gamble because they have 6-7 Alison Bales
lurking near the basket. Bales already has blocked 87 shots.
"It probably took a year for our guards to understand that they
can get out and pressure a little more because Allie has their
back," Goestenkors said. "This year we've become a lot more
comfortable getting out and pressuring people and changing
Duke received 22 of 31 first-place votes from a
panel of Division I head coaches and had 764 points -- 12 more than North Carolina. North
Carolina (20-0), which beat previously unbeaten Connecticut Monday
night, had the
remaining 9 first-place votes.
The Blue Devils were also No. 1 in The Associated Press poll.
Maryland (18-1) had 705 points, 12 more than No. 4
Tennessee (16-1), which hosts Duke next Monday. Connecticut was
fifth, followed by Oklahoma, Ohio State, LSU, Stanford and Arizona
LSU dropped two spots after splitting two games, losing to
Mississippi and beating Mississippi State. Oklahoma and Ohio State each advanced one spot while UConn stayed put.
Vanderbilt jumped to No. 11, followed by Baylor, which fell three spots to No. 12 -- the biggest drop in the poll after losing to Oklahoma and Texas A&M. George Washington and Purdue switched spots, with the Colonials climbing one place to 13th and Purdue dropping back to 14th. Then it was Louisville,
followed by Georgia, Bowling Green, Texas A&M, Marquette and Middle
Michigan State, California, TCU, Texas, and Pittsburgh held the final five places.
DePaul (11-6), which was 24th last week, has seen its roster
thinned by injuries. The Blue Demons have lost three straight and
five of six.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

An Uncomfortable Situation
Ok when I go to blockbuster to rent movies and one of the associates comes up to me to ask if I need help it never ends good.
I like the fact that they are asking, it shows good customer service but they always like throw in their two cents about the current releases.
BBR (Block buster rep): Hey how are you doing today? Can I help you find anything?
Me: No thanks I am just kind of looking, already have a couple of movies picked out I just wanted to see what else was out.
BBR: Oh have you seen Secret Window yet?
Me: Yeah. (Trying to walk away.)
BBR: Cool… I thought it was pretty good. What did you think?
Me: (Thinking it was a shitty movie with really poor attempts to make you think someone else was the killer) Um I thought it was ok kinda disappointing.
BBR: Why? YOU DON'T LIKE JOHNNY DEPP DO YOU?
Me: Um, I like Johnny Depp just fine. I just thought that the movie was kind of lame, they were trying to make it a big twist but it really wasn't anything special.
BBR: Oh… Well what about Paycheck.
Me: Haven't seen it, not really high on my list right now. But maybe I will check it out.
BBR (grabbing the dvd and handing it to me) You really should see it.
Me: Um really it's ok. I have a couple of movies already picked out.
BBR: What are you getting?
Me: The new Michael Moore movie and probably Man on Fire.
BBR: They are both really depressing you should get this instead.
Me: (looking for the fire exit and trying to run) No really that's fine… I am happy with what I am getting.
BBR: Whatever just trying to help.
(So I get to the front waiting to check out the line is long, and said rep comes up to check people out and takes the next person in line… Which of course is me.)
BBR: Sure you don't want to get it.
Me: No really.. I am good…
Me: Um I think I already am.
BBR: Um what's that supposed to me.
Me:(signing quickly for the rentals) NOTHING… Gotta run thanks for your help.
I have now made enemies at blockbuster.. my account will have $10,000 in late fees when I come back.

There's a lot of advice out there for tax filers
Published: Friday, April 13, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 13, 2007 at 12:30 p.m.
The issue: Tax time approaches.
We suggest: Get the most for your money.
Tax time is here, of course.
If you are like most Americans, you fall into one of two groups: You either havent filed your tax return yet and will wait until the last moment to do so, or you filed it long ago and have already spent the refund.
There is still help for both groups.
Because so many of us prefer to get a check once a year rather than breaking even or having to come up with the money to cover a shortfall, lots of folks get their employers to withhold more than their share of taxes.
That way, they can file their returns and get a nice, healthy check for their refund.
Although that has its appeal, financial experts counsel other approaches to the yearly tax bill.
When you have more money taken out of your paycheck than what it will take to cover your annual tax bill, you are essentially making an interest-free loan to the government.
The good part is that you get a refund, but the bad news is the money youre getting back hasnt earned any return for you in the interim.
Despite the lack of interest, many people prefer this approach simply because they lack the discipline to put a little money each pay period into a savings account.
Instead, experts suggest that you adjust your withholding to get as close as possible to your actual tax bill.
Ultimately, of course, it is a personal decision and the thought of a rewarding refund holds out promise to many who use that windfall to take care of bills or other expenses.
For those who do prefer refunds, financial experts lay out a series of priorities they suggest people follow when spending them.
They suggest first spending them on immediate needs. It is better to spend your refund on needs such as medical bills than to take out loans or to take money out of investments.
Second, they suggest paying off debt and saving interest on bills such as credit cards, which usually carry the highest interest rates.
If there is any money left after those, the experts suggest investing it in a financial tool such as a Roth IRA. Although that lacks the excitement of blowing your refund, it could be a valuable bit of money as you approach retirement.
Now for the other group, those who have not yet filed.
Although the deadline for filing is April 15, this year that day falls on Sunday and Monday is a holiday in Washington, D.C.
That means you have until Tuesday to file. Even with the short extension, some will need more time. For them, there are formal extensions.
For more advice, contact a local accountant who can best advise you based on your particular situation.
No one likes tax season, but there are some common-sense ways to approach it to get the most from your money while paying your fair share. Thats the most any of us can ask.

PowerColor Radeon 6850 PCS+ review -
For this editor one of the more exciting product releases this year has been AMD's Radeon 6800 series. Now we are all still waiting on the best from AMD which has yet to arrive, the 6900 series, but the Radeon HD 6850 and 6870 have had a warm welcome already in the mid-range gaming segment of graphics cards.
PowerColor is as always never late to arrive at the party, they submitted a Radeon HD 6850 for a test here at Guru3D.com and as such we'd be more than happy to bring you a full review on one of their newest products today, the PCS+ version of the Radeon HD 6850.
The new mid-range series 6800 delivers a very decent chunk of gaming performance, a set of new features and, as always, will carry a nice price tag.
PowerColor has been busy though, merely a week or two after the official launch their 6850 range already has a non standard product with custom cooler, custom PCB and a totally non-reference design.
It's positioned in their PCS+ range and as such comes factory overclocked as well. Now remember, the R6850 is clocked at 775 MHz right? PowerColor clocks it at towards 820 MHz for you, and if you feel a little brave then apply some tweaks yourself as that will get you over 900 MHz quite easily. The memory as well, standard you'll need to work with a 4000 MHz (effective data rate) memory clock frequency PowerColor takes that to 4400 MHz on this product. And sure, there as well is some room left to fool around with tweaking wise.
Let's have a quick peek at the new duo and then head onwards into the review, where we'll cover the features, architecture, photo-shoot, power consumption and heat levels and benchmarks... oh yeah... you are in for the entire Guru3D treat today. Next page you guys.
