A well-planned multi-room audio system keeps music moving through your home. You can power in-ceiling speakers, floor-standing and bookshelf speakers, and outdoor speakers, all through the same wired system.
Wired multi-room audio systems can range from simple two-room, one-receiver setups to more advanced multi-zone systems. We'll start with the basics and work up to the more complex scenarios.
Audio in two rooms using one receiver
A stereo receiver with A and B speaker outputs lets you play the same audio source in two rooms. The volume control shown in Zone 2 is optional.
Most home theater receivers with seven or more channels have a set of Zone 2 speaker outputs for a pair of stereo speakers in a second room. With a dual-zone/dual-source receiver, you can listen to different audio sources in each zone.
You'll need at least five channels for surround sound in Zone 1. Use two of your remaining channels for Zone 2. The in-wall volume control shown in Zone 2 is optional.
Multi-zone home theater receivers have seven, nine, or eleven channels of power. Sometimes they have more speaker connections than channels. A receiver with nine sets of speaker outputs, for example, might only be able to power seven speakers at a time.
Let's say you have a nine-channel receiver with 11 speaker outputs. You can hook up a full nine-channel surround sound system, plus stereo speakers in another room.
What's the catch?
When you are listening to music in Zone 2, two of the rear channels drop from your surround mix. This leaves you with you 7 channels of surround sound in Zone 1. When you turn off the Zone 2 music, your surround sound reverts to 9 channels.
Audio in three rooms using one receiver
Some multichannel receivers have powered speaker outputs for audio in two additional zones. (Again, the volume controls are optional.)
The easiest way to get audio in three rooms with one receiver is to find a 9- or 11-channel receiver with powered speaker outputs for Zone 2 and Zone 3. These models often support 3-zone/3-source audio, so you can listen to something different in all three zones.
With a receiver like the Marantz SR7008, you can power speakers in three different rooms and play different music in each zone. With the remote control app, you can select the music source and control the volume for each zone.
Some receivers offer powered speaker outputs for Zone 2 and preamp or line-level outputs for Zone 3.
Using preamp outputs means you'll need a second receiver or amplifier for Zone 3. This is a great option if you have an old receiver you'd like to put to good use.
More than three rooms
Want your audio system to extend beyond three rooms? The first thing you'll want to do is talk to an experienced system designer.
There are a lot of factors to consider when selecting your equipment and setting everything up. How big are your rooms? How loud will you play your music in each room? Do you want to be able to play different music in different zones at the same time?
Your designer can pick out the right multi-channel amplifier for your needs. They'll also show you how to configure it so you end up with an easy-to-use system that does what you want it to.
To give you an idea of what's involved, we'll look at a fairly typical three-zone, five-room system.
One multichannel amplifier can distribute audio throughout your home.
Zone 1
Let's say you have an open floor plan, without walls separating the kitchen, dining room, and great room.
You'll need multiple speakers to evenly distribute sound throughout that large, open area. In our example, we're going with five.
We need six amplifier channels to power the five speakers in Zone 1.
- Channels 1 and 2 are for the left and right speakers in the great room.
- Channels 3 and 4 go to a stereo-input speaker in the kitchen.
- Channels 5 and 6 go to the left and right speakers in the dining room.
The music player for Zone 1 connects to the amplifier's "bus" input (sometimes called a "global" input). The input switch for each pair of channels is set to "bus" so your Zone 1 music player plays through all five speakers.
Zone 2
The music player for Zone 2 connects to the "local" line input for channels 7 and 8. The input switch is set to "line in".
Zone 2 is simple, with just one pair of speakers in the basement den. We'll use two amp channels to power the left and right speakers.
Zone 3
For the Zone 3 music player, we'll connect the left output to the left (mono) input for channels 9 and 10 on the amplifier. The right output goes to the amp's left (mono) input for channels 11 and 12.
Zone 3 is different. There's a single pair of outdoor speakers, but they need more power than indoor speakers. To get them to play at decent volume levels we "bridge" (combine) four amplifier channels into two.

Ok.. here it is . I know nothing about audio. I just bought a house with speaks in every room. There are 18 total speakers in the home overall including outside on the porch. There is a large group of wires in the living area that I guess belong to these speakers. There are knobs for each room in the home except the living room area that have knobs that I guess are used to control the sound for each room. My desire is to have it so that I can have sound for the main living area, my upstairs man room and out on the back porch. My question is what type of receiver would be best for me. Honestly I would probably get someone to install since I have no idea what to do about it. THanks

Jon Peck from Santa FePosted on 9/5/2015 10:04:41 PM
My house has pairs of speakers built in to each of 8 rooms. I have been using a very old receiver (Luxman) to power four rooms with a Sonos Connect or a CD player as the main inputs. The receiver has begun cutting out if used continuously, although it returns to service after a while. I am guessing that it is being overdriven. I also have an inexpensive Pioneer receiver that separately drives two rooms. What do I need in order to make this setup function properly? I don't need different outputs in different rooms. TIA

The subject of this is Audio and then all the solutions assume there is a home theater involved.

But like Sidestep said, Sentai is essentially ADV with a different name. The only difference would be how they don't seem to be dubbing things these days, which is probably just because they can't really afford dubbing their shows at the moment. (Or they figured that releasing them as sub-only would just be more profitable.)

I had a dream about a possible ~AS~ OAV. It's an alternate world where Tomoya and Nagisa know each other from childhood, and he lives with her (Orphaned, siblings, whatever you want.) . Tomoya, Akio, and Sanae know what happened in the world animated in ~AS~, but nobody else does. One particular saddening scene that I remembered was Tomoya convincing Nagisa to join the Theatre Club, and also noting that she might meet a nice guy, and then proceeding to punch the wall, crying, saying "What am I doing!? I'm trying to set my own wife up with another girl.." when she leaves.
Yeah, you know you watch too much Clannad when you're dreaming up OAVs in your sleep.

Any chances for a Region 2 DVD release with English subtitling? (Yes, I know Japan is region 2...)
Episode 23 (Younger Nagisa Extra)
So「夜露死苦」is supposedly "difficult" for Nagisa? I could have read that when I was seven -_-. The only complicated character in there is 露, but the 路 in it gives away its pronunciation. Well, it figures since Nagisa is an あほの子
Still love her though ^^. Just rewatched the entire series (both seasons): Nagisa SAIKOU!!
Who wants to hug Nagisa?? *raises hand*
(* For non-Chinese/Japanese people: 「夜露死苦」= "yoroshiku" written unconventionally, i.e. in kanji which are not used to write the word, but spell out "yoroshiku" when all pronounced in onyomi, i.e. "Chinese" readings. The name Tomoya used to sign the banner attached to the falling metal tub.)

夜露死苦 is a sarcastic way of greeting, which is pretty much like cursing at an individual the same time you are greeting him/her. A gang slang, usually associated with Japanese biker gangs.
There are probably a number of ways to decipher 夜露死苦, but translating it literally, it pretty much means "I hope you die in anguish and exposed at night!"

Bleh, I just happen to be listening to Rachmaninov's choral symphony "The Bells", inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's poem of the same name... oddly fitting for Tomoya's emotions in episodes 13~17 -_-

Clannad is the best anime ever
Words can't really describe how much I love Clannad, especially After Story.
Perhaps it's the really delightful and "human" the characters are, the overall theme of "family" or the beautiful and sweet romance between Tomoya and Nagisa. No anime to date has succeeded at hitting me so hard. After Story was really painful to watch at times, but Im glad i went through it.

I nearly didn't watch this. I almost dropped it again at the beginning. But then I wouldn't have experienced this bittersweet story, so I'm glad I went through it after all.
I didn't really like season 1 much. It was ok, but I found it rather boring most of the time. Same with the beginning of "After Story". But then they graduated and my enjoyment began. Or rather depression?
Honestly at ep. 17 I cried so hard that it caused me physical pain! And then I cried watching every episode until 22. Gosh, it's not the first time I cried because of a series, but my need for a handkerchief never has been as high before. I desperately needed one, because I couldn't see anymore what was going on on screen - I was that teared up! v_v
This series left me miserabel and hating the sadists who wrote it. It was SO DAMN HARSH. And I thought "5 centimeters per second" left me depressed.
Spoiler for whole series:
I really felt the pain and joy of Tomoya. This series touched me and broke my heart. Greatness!

Re-watched Clannad and FINALLY got around to watch After Story. CLANNAD ~After Story~ is now one of my most favorite series. I'm not done with it yet (episode 19).
What're your favorite, most memorable quotes from Clannad?
Mine has to do with how change is inevitable. Especially how Tomoya had a hard time facing it.. how things were changing. (It kind of reminded me of myself in the past). Also the one about love, and fireworks. I wish I had the quotes word-by-word >.<;

GM Looks to Lead in Self-Piloted Vehicles Development by End of the Decade

Chevrolet EN-V urban mobility concept
(Source: green.autoblog.com)
GM will use technologies including GPS, distance-sensing, and vehicle-to-vehicle communications in the Chevrolet EN-V urban mobility concept
When many think of the future, they think of flying cars zooming from place to place. While we're not quite there yet, the development of self-piloted vehicles are in the making, and General Motors plans to deploy such vehicles by the end of the decade.
GM has announced that it is currently working on the tools needed to create self-piloted cars, such as radars, sensors, cameras, GPS, and other portable communication devices. These technologies combined will allow vehicles to navigate the roads partially on their own by the middle of the decade, and by the end of the decade, more advanced functions are expected to allow autos to drive themselves completely.
Two important aspects of the self-driving vehicle are vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. This
allows the car to learn more about vehicles around it
, such as their speeds and locations, as well as surrounding traffic signals, accidents and detours.
GM will use technologies including GPS, distance-sensing, and vehicle-to-vehicle communications in the Chevrolet EN-V urban mobility concept. This system will allow the vehicle to dodge collisions, identify pedestrians, park itself, and pick-up the driver. All of this can be accomplished via systems placed in the vehicle or through a smartphone app.
"The technologies we're developing will provide an added convenience by partially or even completely taking over the driving duties," said Alan Taub, GM Vice President of Global Research and Development. "The primary goal, though, is
. Future generation safety systems will eliminate the crash altogether by interceding on behalf of drivers before they're even aware of a hazardous situation. In the coming years, we believe the industry will experience a dramatic leap in activity safety systems, and hopefully, a dramatic decline in injuries and fatalities on our roadways. GM has made a commitment to be at the forefront of this development."
The Chevrolet EN-V urban mobility concept will be on display at the ITS World Congress this week.
A few years back, the
fully autonomous Chevrolet Tahoe
was the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge winner. Other companies, such as
, have announced the development of self-driving vehicles as well.

I stayed at this hotel twice with my three year old daughter in the month of December. Both times we had layovers overnight, and early morning flights. I REALLy wanted to stay at this hotel because of the convenience, but I was concerned about the reviews I saw on TA. I decided to contact Paola directly - she is the Sales Manager at the hotel and often responds to people's reviews. She was fantastic, and was able to get us a great room both times.
Our first stay we had a room on the 7th floor (can't remember the room number). The room was definitely smaller than we are used to staying in, but it was so wonderful to wake up in the morning, and be just a few steps away from the security checkpoint. We saved ourselves at least an hour of sleep, and for that alone, this stay was worth it. Check in and out was quick and easy. The staff were great with my daughter and made us feel welcome and appreciated.
Our second stay was Dec 19th, and again Paola got us a great room on the 7th floor - room 747. This room was much more spacious than the first, and worked perfectly for our family. My daughter and I checked in in the afternoon, and got settled in. We found a number of convenient options for dinner just outside of the hotel lobby. My husband arrived in the evening from his international flight, and since it was past my daughter's bedtime, I put her to sleep and waited for my husband's knock at the door. He arrived so quickly after his arrival time, thanks to the fact that he didn't have to wait for a shuttle to the hotel. The next morning we flew out on Alaska airlines which is located right outside of the hotel lobby (again - so perfect!). We were able to sleep in an extra 45 minutes because we didn't have to deal with a hotel shuttle.
As for the rooms, the beds were extremely comfortable, the decor was beautiful and it's obvious that they have been recently renovated. I loved the bathroom fixtures - very modern and sleek.
Overall I'd highly recommend this hotel for an overnight stay. It's so convenient and saves on time and sleep, which we all know is precious when traveling. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Conveniently located inside the Miami International Airport, Concourse E (Departure Level). Features 259 sound-proof rooms, Top of the Port Restaurant is currently closed for renovations. Day use rooms subject to availability. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, HotelsforEveryone and Travelocity so you can book your Miami International Airport Hotel reservations with confidence.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Bully is a no-holds-barred documentary that intimately portrays bullying victims' daily lives. While it's often heartbreaking and deals with tough issues like suicide, the movie addresses an incredibly important, timely topic -- bullying -- in a frank, relatable way that's age appropriate for teens and relevant for middle schoolers if an adult is present to guide discussion. Bully's strong language (including a brutal, profanity-laden scene in which one boy says to another that he'll "shove a broomstick up your a--" and "cut your face off and s--t") initially earned it an R rating from the MPAA -- a rating that the production company chose not to accept, officially releasing the film as unrated. But none of the swearing is gratuitous. Like it or not, it's a realistic portrayal of what every middle schooler and older hears every day. This gives the film veracity and credibility with kids, and it will justifiably shock parents.
Bully's most challenging material isn't just the language, but the suicides. Seeing grieving parents and friends could potentially be upsetting to teens and preteens, so they should definitely watch with adults. Bully also addresses the concepts of cutting, physical abuse, and more, but in a way that presents the consequences as well as the behavior itself. Victims' parents are generally portrayed as supportive and loving, while school administrators come off in a much less positive light. Ultimately, Bully encourages kids to stand up to bullies, not stand by, and reinforces the fact that everyone can make a difference when it comes to this essential issue.

What's the story?
BULLY takes a frank, head-on look at the bullying epidemic happening in America's middle and high schools. It profiles several young victims -- including Alex, a 12-year-old in Sioux City, Iowa, who endures merciless teasing and physical abuse on the school bus every day, and Kelby, a 16-year-old in Tuttle, Okla., who has been ostracized and attacked ever since coming out as a lesbian. In telling their stories and others, Bully explores the full range of bullying's impact on kids, their families, and their communities, from the devastation of teen suicide to frustrated parents getting nowhere with school administrators. And, more than anything, it encourages teens to make a difference -- to stand up against bullying instead of standing by.
Is it any good?
This documentary is heartbreaking, moving, infuriating, and indisputably essential viewing for middle- and high-schoolers and their parents. It's impossible not to be affected by the stories of these tweens and teens; you'll tear up when Tyler Long's parents recount what drove their 17-year-old firstborn to suicide, and you'll want to scream at the administrator who downplays Alex's parents' concerns when they come in to talk about how to keep their son safe on his way to and from school. Particularly chilling is the story of 14-year-old Ja'Meya, who ended up brandishing a gun at her bullies when she felt pushed to the edge of her endurance. No one was hurt, but the fact that she even considered that as a response to her situation shows you just how much pain some kids are in every day.
Bully is a little bit on the slow side for teens (and it might have been a better fit for school viewing at an hour's length), but it's also extremely relevant and relatable. It's gritty, but that very grittiness is what gives it the power to hook teens in and open their eyes to what's probably going on around them every day. And that, in turn, could help convince kids that they really do have the power to make a difference.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about an individual's responsibility to stand up, not stand by. Is that easy to do? How do you think people can really make a difference against bullies after watching Bully?
Parents, talk to your kids about teen suicide. This is an incredibly tough topic, but one that needs to be addressed. What makes some people think that it's their only option? What impact does their decision have on their friends and family? Where can kids in despair turn for assistance?
Bullying is often seen as physical abuse, but Bully shows that words are just as powerful. Talk about the different ways that people can bully others; what has the most lasting impact? The movie doesn't spend too much time discussing the online/digital side of the issue. How does cyberbullying impact you and your peers?
How does Bully promote compassion and empathy? What about courage and integrity? Why are these important character strengths?
School administrators come off very poorly in Bully, and there's lots of blaming the victim. Do you think administrators leave victims feeling completely discounted? Who else can bullying victims turn to for help?

That may be a bit of a stretch is that burst of convection just off the coast isn't actually the center. That is farther inland to the west, but not by much.
We'll probably see this strengthen some over the next few hours, perhaps becoming a tropical storm again by tomorrow morning.

Excellent 4.0 /5 from 148 reviews
It was amazing
It was nice and quiet.
I spent two nights in Suite 212. It was comfortable, quiet, and the kitchen was well equipped with kitchen ware.
The hotel room was really nice, kitchen was really helpful because we have a new born so we needed the microwave and fridge, fridge was a little old but it worked and the room was really clean. Breakfast was also really good, not a whole lot to choose from but it great for the price of the stay.
Really a budget hotel. You get what you pay for. The cleanliness of the hotel in general was poor. The housekeeping service was minimal and we had communication difficulties for the first 4 days. Probably will not stay at this property again.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Get the Wolves newsletter
10:42 6th November 2012
Advance tickets now on sale
Wolves have today revealed more details regarding the much anticipated launch of the Club's new state-of-the-art, interactive Museum, which will be the first of its kind in the Midlands.
The Club aims to establish the Museum as a successful visitor attraction and has introduced a great value family ticket, along with special deals for group bookings.
The Museum is split into zones with a Games Zone – perfect for kids and adults alike! – and also History, Stadium and Sport Science Zones.
The Hall of Fame looks set to be one of the most popular attractions, along with a 30 person capacity cinema – showing an exclusive, specially commissioned film about the Club.
Advance tickets are now on sale, and can be purchased via the Ticket Office, online or by calling the Ticket line: 0871 222 1877.
There will be a special exclusive preview day for Members on 23rd November 2012 - booking via the Ticket Office or online as normal. The Wolves Museum will then be open to the general public from 9:00am, Saturday, 24th November 2012 (the day of the home fixture versus Nottingham Forest, Kick-off: 3:00pm).
Ticket prices start at just £4.50 for concessions, which includes 65 & Over, Students and Under 17's with children under five years of age entering the Museum for FREE.
Adults are £7, whilst a special Wolves Museum Family Ticket (two adults and two under 17's) has been created, where a family of four can enjoy the experience for just £18 (a Family Ticket can't be purchased online).
The Wolves Museum will be open on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons (12:00pm till 5:30pm) and it will also be open on Saturdays (9:00am till 5:00pm) and Sundays (10:00am till 4:00pm). On match days, the last entry will be two hours before kick-off.
Although schools and groups will be able to visit on any day (subject to availability), the main days will be on the Mondays and Tuesdays when the facility will be closed to the general public.
Members can earn and redeem 10% Ticket Cash on their Museum Ticket purchases, accessing the Museum for even better value prices.
Jez Moxey, Chief Executive, Wolves, said, "The Wolves Museum has been nearly two years in the making in terms of actual design and delivery but it has been Steve Morgan's vision and passion to create this amazing facility ever since he took over the reins from Sir Jack back in 2007.
"We are all extremely excited to be on the verge of opening this new visitor attraction and we're proud to say it will be the very first dedicated football Museum in the Midlands.
"The feedback we've had from the handful of people who've seen it so far has been tremendous and we hope the rest of our supporters will feel the same when they come and see the new Museum for themselves.
"The Museum is as much about representing who we are now as a Club, as it is our rich history, and the intention is that grandparents, parents and children – whoever they support - will all be able to visit together and have a fantastic experience."

Such a pretty purple. This one looks a little bit different on different people. On me it's a very vibrant purple. I absolutely love it. The wear is great. This is one of the creamier ones in this line, it is not as matte as the others. Nothing bad to say about this whatsoever. It might not look as good on cool-toned complexions, though, in which case I would recommend Ravin' Raisin from the same line.

This is Mac rebel but just cheaper and not as messy .. Meaning rebel creeps under my lip and I hate that but this one does not. My daughter asked if I was wearing rebel when I had this on because if anyone can spot rebel it is her that was her first Mac lipstick. This is pretty and leaves a stain there is another LE wet n wild that is exact called vintage vibe but they don't make that one no more.

Best. Drugstore. Dupe. EVER.
1) This doesn't apply very smoothly on its own; it's certainly workable, but the texture isn't going to lightly glide over your lips.
1) Cheap. So, so cheap. The most affordable lipstick you can buy, almost.
2) Amazing color. This is a very bold purple but one that's bright enough to feel playful, too.
3) Staying power that most luxury brands would kill for!
I have very fair skin with blue/cool undertones. As with all lipsticks I wear except for very casual outdoor activity, I layer this over a lip pencil.
Believe the hype and grab this one the next time you're at Walgreens!

This and Ferguson Crest Cabernet color from the Fergie Collection by Wet N Wild are near perfect dupes for the famous MAC Rebel. This shade, Sugar Plum Fairy, is a bit longer lasting and even cheaper than the Fergie one. Sometimes the Fergie one seems a bit darker and a teensy bit more matte, but that could just be the mind playing tricks. But I would repurchase SPF over that one because of the even cheaper price for almost the exact same lipstick and totally same quality. I'd prefer if this lipstick was done in a traditional bullet-shaped nib rather than the slanted tips, as I find, especially with more matte formulas and bolder (darker and/or brighter colors) that shape is more conducive to an even application, especiaally when applied full-on and/or with multiple layers. But I like this and for the price color, pigmentation, lasting power are all great and formula is pretty nice too. Will buy this again and in more colors. May try the legit MAC Rebel sometime just to see for 100% sure how all these colors and finishes stack up against one another, and if the traditional bullet shape really helps the application as much as I think it might. Overall, though, I am VERY happy with and impressed by the quality (especially but limited to its relative cost) of these lipsticks,

I have several of the Wet N Wild MegaLast lip colors and have been impressed with their color payoff. Out of all of them so far, this one was a bit of a disappointment. It's a lovely color and all but I was expecting Sugar Plum Fairy to be that dark wine hue it appears in the tube. Instead, it is much more vibrant and almost fushia-like. I'm not crying over it because these are super inexpensive but I was really looking forward to finding a cheap vampy dark plum lipstick. I have seen AndreasChoice on Youtube mix this with a black lip liner and it looks incredible so I may have to use that trick.

Cheap packaging (to be expected because it's an amazingly affordable item), beautiful color that leaves behind a nice tint, long lasting. It's drying though and it applies darker on drier spots so I would recommend to first apply a balm and exfoliate. Great color though!

My very first Wet n Wild lipstick. Went for this one because of those Mac Rebel raves.
It's a very beautiful and unique color. It's red, purple, berry and plum rolled into one. Looking at the tube, it's kinda intimidating, but wait till you wear it. It's the kind of color you can wear casually, in the office, a nightout, or even a formal occasion! Utter sophistication. And this will also look good in many skintones.
It brightens the face, and I'm quite surprised that it looked better on me almost without eye makeup on. (But you can enhance the look subtly though, maybe with a lash curler, clear mascara and a bit of tearline eyeliner.). This is the shade Kendall Jenner rocked at Dolce & Gabanna Spring 2015.
Texture, well it settles into the liplines, but you can even it by blotting your lips on tissue paper and spreading the color a bit with your fingers. It bleeds though, so make sure to use lipliner so it wouldn't be so bothersome. I use a universal lipliner, works perfectly. It's a semi-matte, but it applies easily, feels comfortable and doesn't feel dry at all. In my case it's not really necessary to apply lipbalm, but you do need to exfoliate your lips.
If you're considering a Mac Rebel, this one is the perfect dupe. And economy-wise too.

Admittedly, I am a red lipstick junkie, but for some weird reason, I found myself really wanting to purchase MAC's Rebel (especially after reading all the positive reviews here). Unfortunately, I was on a tight budget during that time so I did some sleuthing and found out that this is a dupe for that. Well, after getting my hands on this baby, all I can say is that I'm SO glad I didn't splurge on the MAC! This is like, 70% cheaper (the shop I got it from does pad the prices a bit, as there's no official WnW reseller here, but it's still very cheap), the color is incredibly lovely (I wore this at church one time and a lady couldn't stop staring at my lips!), lasts a long time and feels very comfortable on the lips despite the matte formula (I do wear Lucas Papaw ointment underneath, though). I also find it to be a close (if slightly, darker) match to NARS' Funny Face, another one of my fave non-red lipsticks. I rotate my lipsticks a bit so I still have a lot of this left, but if I lost it or it somehow turns bad, I will repurchase in a heartbeat.

I luv my MAC #1 but confessedly I am a big WNW MegaLast Matte lipstick fan.i have all of them except a couple now (+ some backups!).My fave DS lipsticks! 4 bang 4 ur buck these are easily the best lipsticks ur gonna find & these are elevated to cult status by some who even swear these are as good as MAC!for experimenting w colors u can't beat wnw.Almost every wnw MegaLast Matte has a MAC counterpart dupe if u go on websites devoted to dupes.Sugar Plum Fairy (SPF) is a dupe for MAC Rebel.I don't own Rebel but I have no desire to buy it coz wnw SPF sounds very close being a deep raspberry plummy color w a cool tone.im NC in MAC so I don't kno how exactly flattering this is on me.No offense to this gr8 color I just don't like cool tones on myself.I'm still working on ways to make this work.It's so versatile!It can be a stain, done w Vaseline as a glossy look, full-on matte, lightly dabbed on, altering it depending on ur lip liner, etc.This looks good w all of the gr8 burgundies & oranges in the Morphe Jaclyn Hill Favorites e/s palette.

Ok so absolute perfect plum lip for the fall!! But if you're like me you don't really care about seasons too much if you like it you're putting it on! I enjoy mixing this lippie with WnW Vamp It Up & Cherry Bomb, but more so Vamp It Up it gives me that matte plum lip I've been searching for. This is even a good shade to wear by itself. The packaging is great for two dollar lippies so can't expect more than that. I love how it feels on my lips not to drying to me. It's great especially if you adore the matte look which I do. It feels and looks perfectly! Two thumbs up! Ebert & Roper :-)

Damage to Chili Soft Coral
I am a newbie to corals and recently purchased a Chili Soft Coral, about a month ago. They are easy for begginers and unfortunately I had a piece of live rock slide and hit it. The damage is minor but I had read somewhere that if 2 corals fell and hit each other they could die off where they touched. Is that true and could that happen to my coral's damage where the live rock hit it. Could I loose the whole coral if not treated.
Thanks for any help....
While It's unlikely you will see too much damage from the coral being struck by LR, it is possible if there were other corals or hitchhikers on the rock. My recommendation, Since the chili leather is, for lack of a better term, a nocturnal bloomer, Inspect the coral in the early AM hours when the coral would be at it's fullest and polyps would be fully extended. Look for any signs of deterioration or other damage. If the coral looks to be damaged, I would recommend an Iodine based coral dip. Lugol's by Kent Marine would be a good option. The instructions fo lugols calls for 1 gallon of tank water and (i believe) 40 drops of lugols, but I would 1/4 that (1qt and 10 drops) if your only dipping 1 small coral.
Thanks for the reply. I spoke to my LFS, where I purchased to Chili and they said if the damage was not to severe they are preety resilant and would be fine. If I saw that it was more severe than anticipated I could cut off the area effected. I would then have to treat the exposed area anyway.
I like you suggestion more so I am going to try that and see if that helps.
Thanks again...

Maxwell & Jill Scott tour headed to Staples Center
Now that's what I call a super soul bill. Toss in Sade and bring D'Angelo out of mothballs (he is supposed to put out a new album this year, his first in a decade) and you'd get ... well, something strong enough for the next Essence Music Festival in New Orleans.
All the same, the pairing of silky smooth loverman Maxwell (now a two-time Grammy winner) and the multi-talented Jill Scott (these days earning as many kudos for acting as singing) have teamed for a spring-into-summer tour that has one SoCal stop planned: June 5 at Staples Center.
Maxwell, who warmed hearts young and old last October at the Hollywood Bowl, is riding high off the widespread success for BLACKsummer'snight, his first album in eight years, which topped the charts and landed at No. 14 on the Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop poll of the nation's music writers.
Scott, meanwhile, a three-time Grammy winner, has garnered positive notices for her leading role in the HBO series The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency and her work in the Lifetime flick Sins of the Mother. She is currently prepping two movies, a cartoon series, a new bra for her intimate apparel line ... and, oh yeah, a new album, The Light of the Sun, due this summer.
No word on when tickets go on sale, but don't be surprised if it's next Saturday.

Just as a thought, the sound off my MacBook Pro is much, much, better when I use my FiiO E7 as a DAC/Amp. Very noticeable.
Does a DAC make a giant difference? - Page 3

I was thinking about the e7 actually, just wasn't sure how exactly my rig would work. Would it just be from laptop -> E7 -> Valhalla ->dt880s?
Would I just use the RCA to 3.5mm jack that was part of the amp to connect to the E7?
I think you would need the FiiO L7 to bypass the E7 amp and use it strictly as a DAC. I'm not sure though it it would go to the DAC or Amp first though, but I assume it'd be the DAC.
If you use the L7 with the E7, you will be only using the DAC in the E7, which you could then run into the Valhalla.
Personally, I haven't ever noticed a whole lot of difference when using a DAC with by laptop vs. the laptop sound card. Sure, the background noise is lessened with a DAC, but as far as overall sound quality...not a whole lot of difference. I've found amping makes more of a difference than anything else, as stated many times before this.
Well that really depends highly on what sound card/dac is in the laptop as it is and what headphones you're using. If you're using Sennheiser HD650 into a laptop directly then an amp will have a bigger effect for sure.
It was just a stock, mediocre quality sound card and the Beyer DT770s. Nothing too special, I know, but for the most part I didn't really hear any big differences.

I have found that the DAC one chooses does make a substantial difference.
My past experience is this, the three cheap DACs (<$500) I've owned with op amps in the signal path
had sound output that was flawed. Specifically etched treble, compressed or artificially wide soundstage,
and lack of instrument separation. (congestion during complex sound passages with an orchestra, for example.)
I'm not a fan of DACs with tubes in them either due to the euphonic coloration they impart.
The addition of tubes does sound good, but doesn't render true sound reproduction.
This is called poor design implementation...NOT because of op-amps=see what you stated below-
I wont name names, I do not want to upset any "members of the trade" around here.
For the OP, it may be important for the person to know your opinion of specific devices that you recommend the OP to stay clear of.
I cannot say that I have owned any $1000+ DACs with opamps in them,
although I have listened to some at meets and they did sound really good.
Which confirms that it is all about the design, OR that better associated speakers were being used.
My current mid-fi setup consists of a DAC and an amp that do not utilize op amps or tubes and sounds superb.
FWIW, I do own a few cheap tube amps for when I am in the mood for a euphonic sound experience.
I can guarantee you that if you hear a properly designed device, regardless of what it is and what is being used in the design (op amps, tubes, you name it), that you would even be surprised at how tubed based devices actually can sound far far harsher and aweful vs. an SS device, and at the same time, that a tubed device can sound identical to an SS design when both are designed by a similar engineer and with properly implemented circuits that are tailored to sound transparent regardless of the fact that they use SS based components vs. tube based components.
I do agree with you that a poorly done DAC can sound really bad, but I do not agree that the system will lose much soundquality as long as the speakers being listened to are at the soundquality the listener enjoys most. I know I have listened to many different devices and the only time I heard such a massive difference was when I put on the vinyl based digital equivalent:)

Poor implementation. Got it.
FWIW, I will name names of a few DACs that I do like.
Burson HA-160D (DAC/amp combo unit)
Neko D100 - MkII
Audio-gd NFB-2 or NFB-3
Spoken as if fact. What's a "good" DAC? R-2R, or D-S? Synch or asynch oversampling, or none? What makes a good digital receiver? What makes a good output stage? Does any of this matter, or do we believe that "bits are bits"?
I disagree with everything in your post, except for your last point. Used is indeed good, and it allows you to experiment with designs that are no longer available, such as my PCM63P-K based EAD, or the UltraAnalog based DACs. If you don't listen to much high-res, the 20-bit R-2Rs still have a lot going for them.

The problem was solved years ago. New chips come out because they're smaller, more power efficient, etc. New designs get churned out because the marketing department knows consumers want something "new." The same happens with most of audio. Reshuffle the deck, put it in a new case, have the audio rags and reviewers proclaim "night and day" differences from the old model, lather, rinse, repeat.
You can get great quality for next to nothing today.
Status symbols and snob appeal remain quite expensive, though.
I'm not buying it. You can get a device that successfully converts a digital signal to an analog one for next to nothing, sure, in much the same way that a coat hanger can successfully act as a speaker wire. Sound comes out the other end. Doing that job well though means a good power supply, a low jitter receiver, a high quality DAC chip new or old and a well designed, high quality analog output stage. That stuff still costs money. While I'm not saying that you need to step up to the level of an MBL 1611F, I would advise that people spend at least a grand on their DAC if they want things done right.

Some things cost money to be done right, some don't. DAC's don't.
This $30 DAC has a THD of .008%. That's a fraction of audible distortion @ .05%

so unless a DAC cost a grand or consists of components that cost a grand, then it's not done right?

Oh, well then case closed. Because the only thing that determines the sound of a component is whether THD is audible or not. ::rolls eyes::

David & Olivia debut 'On the Sea'
David & Olivia play the Constellation Room in Santa Ana May 23. Photo by Natalie Price
Local musicians David Rosales and Olivia May met in a moment that sounds like it was stolen right out of a Hollywood film.
He was a guitarist and vocalist in a hard-rock band, striking out on his own to perform mellower songs with more heart, and there she was, in a yellow dress under the bright spotlight in an otherwise dimly lit room, singing along to Janis Joplin's "Mercedes Benz" one summer night in 2011 at the Pig 'N Whistle in Los Angeles.
"I think I heard angels sing when I heard her voice," Rosales says of the first time the duo crossed paths. "I had these songs that weren't fitting for the band I was in at the time. I was in a rock band and I was writing songs about love and they were country and folk-sounding. I went with my wife to the Pig 'N Whistle to play some of those songs and Olivia started singing and I knew that was the voice I wanted for 'Key to My Heart,' which I was writing as a duet. I knew it was a duet, I just didn't know what voice or who I wanted until I heard her. That was it."
The pair didn't meet face to face that night, but Rosales chatted up May's manager and exchanged information. A few months later, they met in the studio for the first time.
"I was doing a solo record that wasn't intended to be for mass consumption," Rosales says. "It was just a thing to do while my band was waiting to do another tour. 'Key to My Heart' was the first thing we recorded and it started the whole thing."
May stuck around for more than just one song, however, and when Rosales' solo album was finished, the duo went out on tour, kicking off the trek with an album release show at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles and picking up a string of paying gigs at wineries and wine bars up and down the coast. After hooking up with local musician and Donavon Frankenreiter collaborator Matt Grundy and producer Paul Clark, Rosales and May headed into Night Owl Recorders in Anaheim in December to work on the official David & Olivia "On the Sea" EP, which was released May 14.
The duo will celebrate the EP with a show featuring a full band at the Constellation Room in Santa Ana on Thursday.
The new material came quickly for Rosales, who penned most of the tracks in just a few weeks, pulling from all of the conversations he and May had while traveling hundreds of miles in the car together on tour.
"I'd like to think about it as the time of him getting to know me and us getting to know each other in the car," May says. "It was just like therapy sessions about life throughout all of last year and out came this."
May says there were never awkward moments of silence during their time trapped in close quarters, but lots of music and Rosales' daily check in with sports talk radio.
"Sometimes I'll put, like, Fear on and she's had it because she doesn't get the whole punk thing," he says. "I grew up on metal and punk, but we had a common denominator in that we grew up with our parents listening to classic rock and country, stuff by Johnny Cash, George Jones and Patsy Cline. That's where our foundation is. The other stuff – the punk and metal – that's always going to be there for me, where as she's also listening to Lady Gaga."
While they're still slowly introducing themselves into the local music scene, David & Olivia already have a packed summer schedule. They fly to New York in June for several shows before returning to do more shows up and down the coast. It's natural, Rosales says, for everyone to automatically assume that he and May are a couple, but he is a happily married man and the proud father of a baby girl.
"This is the coolest non-romantic relationship that you can have with the opposite sex," he says with a laugh. "We get to pal around and tour, drink and hang out. She calls me on my (stuff) all of the time and I call her on hers, and it's a really good relationship all built around just being stuck in a car together."

The Luxury Visionaries 2016
Aston Martin has released pictures of the special editions that it will unveil to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
The V8 Vantage N430 is a track-honed version of the regular V8 Vantage – the N standing for Nürburging, the legendary German racing circuit; the 430 is the horsepower, a 10 bhp jump over the regular model.
The use of carbon fibre in the body, Kevlar in the seats and special forged alloy in the seats cuts weight to 20kg below that of the regular model, helping it hit 60 in just 4.6 seconds and surge on to a top speed of 190mph.
The N430, with its 4.7 litre V8, sports suspension and quick-ratio steering, will come in either coupe or roadster form and cost a fiver less than £90,000, slotting it between the regular Vantage and the Vantage S in the Aston range.
Ian Minards, Aston's head of product development, said: "N430 is all about bringing track-honed excitement to the road in an accessible, emotionally engaging, and authentically 'analogue' way."
He added: "The dynamic exhilaration of the Vantage is the perfect complement to the eye-catching looks of the N430."
The special edition DB9, meanwhile, is available in either Carbon White or Carbon Black. It is powered by the standard model's 510bhp 6-litre V12, but is generously adorned with carbon fibre throughout.
The DB9 Carbon is strictly price-on-application only, but is sure to cost a decent chunk above the regular DB9, which is a shade over £133,000.
Marek Reichman, Aston's design director, said: "The classic DB9 Carbon Black and daring DB9 Carbon White special editions give this timeless GT a fresh and highly desirable new appearance.
"The exciting details that define N430 should leave no one in any doubt about the car's motorsport roots. Bold graphic treatments and the option of vivid colour combinations conjure up clear visual echoes of the race circuit."
