Found on Ebay - fact or fiction?
Hmm, makes you think, doesn't it... I still have a pair of Pioneer TS-E1395's kicking around... Now if I were to mount that in a straight pipe.... That could just make the best speaker of the world then... ;-)
Arne |
Look like car audio drivers to me, even if they are rather expensive.
My point exactly.... The Pioneers I refferred to are car audio 3-way speakers as well.
To be honest, it really did get me thinking. I am thinking of building a set of straight pipes for 8" full-range speakers anyway. And I could just build a set of pipes with the Pioneers in them as well... Arne |
:dodgy: |
What an outragous scam :mad:
His frequency response graphs of 'normal' speakers - I refuse to belive that even the cheapest dirt speakers you can buy off the shelf have a >20dB 2-octave gap in the lower midrange. Quote:
They look nice, that's about it. :dodgy: |
The creative genuis of scam artists
never cease to amaze me.
Best speaker? No way. Most inventive scam I've seen in a long time? Quite possibly! Regards Ken L |
Give him a break guys. Do you know how expensive that 'mohagany' is and how hard it is to get hold of? :rolleyes:
not to mention how good a radio shack SPL meter.
best measurement devices result in the best speakers. |
This is where my ethics get in the way of making some serious money. :devilr:

Anybody been in the stadium pro shop this year? I want a Mccrathy jersey and I don't see they have them in their on-line shop. I don't want to pay for a custom game jersey either.
I think they are only available through custom, McCarthy mentioned something on twitter about it. Really, the official website needs an over haul. The choices in wallpaper flat out suck.
I won't dole out more money on Titans swag until they update the uniform. This could be a long time waiting... But I have a closet full of the old ones. Passive resistance yo.
I just bought a Jake Locker shirt instead of dishing out 100 for a jersey, I'm happy with that decision.

Bike: Lapierre Zesty
Front tyre: Jones ACX 2.35
Rear tyre: Jones ACX 2.2
Type of riding: south/north downs
Your thoughts on said combo: They stay on all year round now
Bike Forum
Survey: what tyres are you running at the moment?
Posted 7 years ago #
Maxxis Advantage 2.1, but still got a Nevegal 2.1 stick-E on the front of the FS.
I've lowered pressures recently to help with lower winter speeds and grip (F28,R32)
No real problems - everything is drifty-tastic whatever tyre ATM, which is quite fun at the lower speeds, terrifying at high speed though!
Posted 7 years ago # -
FRONT: Maxxis High Roller Supertacky on the front 2.35 IIRC
REAR: Bonty Mud XBoth ghetto tubeless.
Riding: Swinley and the Southern Chilterns.

Bike: Orange Five
Front: Kenda Blue Groove 2.35 Stick-E
Rear: Maxxis Advan 60a 2.25
Riding: Most things although a bias on south wales, rocky stuffThoughts on combo: Tough and reasonably light relative what they'll let you get away with. Not too fussed what's on the back but I clearly connect with the blue Groove tyre in a way that makes everything else feel crap. If it's seriously horrid mud, I'll ride elsewhere and let the place recover.

On-one 456Front tyre:
29er Mountain king 2.4 (tubeless) / 29er Mountain King 2.2 (tubeless)
Maxxis ADvantage 2.25 60a Maxxpro (tubeless) F&R
Kenda Blue Groove Stick-E 2.1 / Kenda Nevegal DTC 2.1 (with tubes)Type of riding:
Singlespeed all over the place (Mostly Hexhamshire common, Co. Durham, Chopwell woods)
Long, bumpy and angry stuff (Trail centres, Cheviots, Lakes, peaks, etc)
Short blasts on hilly stuff (Hexhamshire common)Thoughts on said combo:
Good on soft terrain but come up narrow, crap with tubes, great without
Good all rounders, poor in clarty mud, fast rolling, carcass can be a bit fragile given the confidence they give you to get into trouble
Pinch flat-tastic if run at pressures where the tyre tread make sense, but light and grippy providing it isn't muddy.Posted 7 years ago # -
Front- Kenda Nevegal 2.35 Stick E
Rear- Maxxis Larsen TT 2.35 MaxxPro 60a
Riding- Natural forest singletrack trails that drain very well.
The Larsen isn't as bad in the mud as people make out, its certainly very entertaining when the going gets slippery and you can get all drifty on almost every corner, hours of fun.Posted 7 years ago # -
iO SS - maxxis medusa 1.8 f/r.
riding - sloppy and rooty cotswolds or chilterns trails

general use bike - not used at mo locally but the tyres are great on all but mudFlyer SS road - ultragators 25c - the only road tyre you need really.

Front tyre: Maxxis High Roller 2.35 Maxpro
Rear tyre: Maxxis Advantage 2.25 Maxpro
Type of riding: Just riding along, singletrack, the odd trail centre, that kind of thing
Your thoughts on said combo: Very good for most things and about as good a combo as I've used, a bit lively in the mud though.Posted 7 years ago # -
Front tyre: Kenda Nevegal 2.1
Rear tyre: Kenda Blue Groove 2.1

Bike: Kona SS
Front tyre: 1.95 trailraker
Rear tyre: 1.95 trailraker
Type of riding: Pootling in slop woods
Your thoughts on said combo: Pinbally on rock, shite on roots, unsurpassed in hub depth slop to either side of rocks n rootsBike: Turner 5-spot
Front tyre: 2.35 60a Highroller
Rear tyre: 2.35 60a Highroller
Type of riding: Everything
Your thoughts on said combo: Just about deals with the slop, astoundingly amazing everywhere else. Draggy but still pondering a 42a for the front for gravity assisted funz.Bike: Voodoo XC race bike
Front tyre: 1.95 exiwolfs tubeless or 2.1 Kenda Bluegroove supertacky
Rear tyre: 1.95 exiwolfs tubeless
Type of riding: XC/24hr racing
Your thoughts on said combo: Amazingly capable for a low profile, thin XC tyre. Used in slop to good effect until course dries out enough to engage afterburners. Kenda good for more trail giggles orientated rides, bigger volume, carves turns better, can honk on the brakes harder. Stupid thin sidewalls necessitates running it harder than I'd like to. Can roll over if you corner it too hard too. I only use it to wear it out, then I'll get a 70a HR for it.Bike: Cannondale road race bike
Front tyre: Schwalbe Stelvio lights 23c
Rear tyre: Schwalbe Stelvio lights 23c
Type of riding: Road race and audax
Your thoughts on said combo: A bit thin and puncture prone for audax, but needs must. Awesome for road race and on the etape in July. Carves turns like a hot knife through butter, the harder you corner, the more grip they seem to give.Bike: Commuter hack bike
Front tyre: Maxxis wormdrive 32c
Rear tyre: Conti city contact 32c non black chilli
Type of riding: Commuting!
Your thoughts on said combo: Wormdrives dependable, city contact frighteningly bad, moved from front becuase I kept loosing the front end in the damp. Tretcherous in properly wet conditions.Bike: Commuter hack bike in CX guise
Front tyre: Conti Twister 32c or Conti Speed King 35cs
Rear tyre: Conti Twister 32c or Conti Speed King 35cs
Type of riding: CX
Your thoughts on said combo: Twisters are OK in a straight line, nervous otherwise, but dependable. Spped Kings utterly utterly useless. Grip is OK, but they're so slack they blow off the rims and destroy their own beads all THE DAMN time, v soft so wear out pronto (good riddance!)Bike: Commuter SS hack bike
Front tyre: Vittoria rubino 25c
Rear tyre: Vittoria rubino 23c
Type of riding: Commuting!
Your thoughts on said combo: Reliable, not ace in corners, but dependable. Seem OK in puncture stakes, wear is good.HTH

Maxxis High Roller 2.35" (a big 2.1") 60a folding
I wanted to keep some volume. The deep paddles make up for being too fat to cut through slop for the mostpart. Climbing traction on the ramps is fine the vast majority of the time too
I'm happy enough with them for the peak, not great on sloppy grassy stuff, but fine in the rocks (I can't seem to tell whats not good though?)
Seemed alright at Whinlatter/Lakes, though I think I might prefer Nevegals when theres not as much slop to deal withXC HT
Bontrager Mud X 2.0" (55/62a)(folding)
The 'checked' pattern on the knobbles has just worn away, so the tread height is now more like a new ACX. Not as great as they were new/unworn but still pretty good. Suprisingly quick for a mud tyre, probably due to not running low pressures. Narrow enough to cut through slop, feel (to me) to be small but otherwise I get on with them
Can't really fault them on XC stuff, (eg Sherwood Pines)play bike (small HT)
Maxxis Crossmark 2.1" (a decent 2.1") 70a
Block up in slop really very quickly, but they're meant to be my summer tyre for my XC Hardtail. Seem quick and grippy enough to have a muck about on BMX tracks and stuffPosted 7 years ago # -

You can check out the full list of finalists here https://aurealisawards.org/2016/02/17/announcement-2015-aurealis-awards-shortlists/
We've set up a kickstarter project. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/499651181/the-years-best-australian-fantasy-and-horror-6
We need your help to become the first Australian-focussed year's best speculative fiction anthology series to publish 6 consecutive volumes.
The Year's Best Australian Fantasy and Horror is over 150,000 words of the best fantasy and horror fiction written by Australians (and New Zealanders) and published all over the world in 2015. We've already done this five times for the years 2010-2014, and we'd like to do it again.
In addition to the reprinted fiction, The Year's Best Australian Fantasy and Horror series features an extensive introductory essay on the annual state of the genre, obituaries, a recommended reading list, and a list of Australian and New Zealand award recipients.
It is the only volume of its kind being published in Australia at present.
Putting together a volume of this size, usually featuring the work of more than 30 contributors, is a big task for two editors and a small press.
The Year's Best Australian Fantasy and Horror series is an important work, but it is also a considerable up-front cost: several thousand dollars of outgoings before a single cent comes back.
We're doing this because we love Australian speculative fiction, we love books, and we want to keep doing this as long as we can. We're in this for the long term, but could use some help to keep this title going.
Please consider backing us!
To commemorate our 20th year in publishing, we've taken 20% off all of our paperback titles at indiebooksonline! For the entire month of February! Check out our range, get awesome new titles like HEAR ME ROAR, our feminist sf anthology edited by Liz Grzyb, or classics like the award-winning MAGIC DIRT: The best of Sean Williams. Check it out at indiebooksonline.com.
To be published by Ticonderoga Publications in 2017
Human activity has forced the Earth into a new geological epoch.
By 2050 the world's population is expected to rise from the current seven billion to around 9.5 billion. The worst impacts will be felt by the world's poorest people, victims of the developed world's excesses.
The Earth must brace itself for enormous changes in patterns of global temperature and rainfall, significant sea level rise, with huge effects on water and food security.
Engineers and industrialists are currently faced with the challenge of inventing new sustainable technologies and the means of implementing them: technologies that may well improve our lives in ways we cannot yet anticipate.
We are looking for optimistic stories envisioning the future of our world as we are impacted by and adapt to climate change. New narratives of radical transformation and sustainability.
Stories exploring the end of carbon-capitalism, combatting inertia in our political systems, interrogating the technical and organisational challenges of clean energy generation, storage and distribution.
Stories investigating nascent technologies and fossil fuel divestment, imagining pathways to the low-carbon world. Encouraging the belief that we will survive not only as a species, but as a civilisation by proposing alternatives to how we live.
Stories showing how humanity can survive and flourish, despite looming uncertainty.
We are not looking for post-apocalyptic stories of dystopia and wretchedness, but of confidence in our ability to meet the challenges our future will bring us.
So, for example...
some ideas in here: http://solarpunks.tumblr.com/
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/10/how-to-survive-a-global-disaster-handy-guide?CMP=share_btn_fb (maybe a story about somebody building a home-made internet for their community)
http://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2016/feb/09/bushfire-proof-houses-black-saturday-innovations?CMP=share_btn_fb (a story set in a fire-resistant village, biologist investigates quick flowering edible crop that thrives in the wake of fire)
We're looking for the normal kinds of human conflict which feature in any story, only set against a backdrop/environment in which humankind is actively attempting to make a better world or fix the old one rather than just sitting back and letting the apocalypse roll on over the top, with everybody sinking into cannibalism and another dark age.
Or you can even mess with the form & do comedy:
The fabulous Farren Miller reviews Anna Tambour's collection The Finest Ass in the Universe in the latest Locus (October 2015). It's a great review, and we're especially chuffed when she says,
a ventriloquist's delight, invoking a multitude of voices, places, and styles ... yet one master chef made the whole banquet.
You can read the full review in Locus Magazine.
The Finest Ass in the Universe is available in hardcover, paperback and ebook http://www.amazon.com/The-Finest-Universe-Anna-Tambour/dp/1925212165
We're thrilled to be able to reveal the cover to our forthcoming original anthology Bloodlines. The artwork is by the awesomely multi-talented and multiple award-winning Kathleen Jennings (who also has a story in the anthology),
Bloodlines, the new non-traditional dark urban fantasy anthology edited by the award-winning Amanda Pillar. These 16 incredible original stories are:
Bloodlines will be available in mid-October 2015 and can be pre-ordered at http://www.indiebooksonline.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=bloodlines. Bloodlines will be available in hardcover, tradepaperback, and ebook.
Attendees of Conflux, in Canberra 2-5 October will be treated to the first look at this book, at a launch on 3 October. The rest of the world can experience this fantastic collection at World Fantasy Convention 2015.
We're really happy to be able to announce the final line-up and cover of the fifth volume of The Year's Best Australian Fantasy and Horror.
Liz Grzyb and Talie Helene have compiled an impressive list of fantastic stories first published in 2014, from New Zealand's and Australia's finest writers.
The 28 stories selected are
In addition to the above incredible tales, the volume will include a review of 2014 and a list of highly recommended stories.
The editors will shortly begin reading for the sixth volume of The Year's Best Australian Fantasy and Horror.
The Year's Best Australian Fantasy and Horror 2014 is scheduled for publication in late-October 2015 and can be pre-ordered at indiebooksonline.com. The anthology will be available in hardcover, ebook and trade editions.
The sixth volume of the award-winning annual series collecting the best fantasy and horror stories from the Antipodes.
The deadline for submissions is 1 January 2016.
Please note that while the editors do read widely, they are relying on writers to assist them by sending copies of their stories. This is the best way to ensure that stories do not get overlooked.

Now available throughout the universe.
Elation, compulsion, exploration, love and exquisitely timed bullying, a lascivious oyster, a man called Eggplant, the dangers of smelling like honey pudding, the enticement of innocent toadlets, the unending day of deadness. The daughter of a part-time magician and a Las Vegas showgirl turns to science, destiny points a young man to brassiere design, suddenly orphaned siblings try to protect their most vulnerable, fortunes craze in neighbourhoods living cheek-by-jowl. Unintendeds abound, as life cavorts in all its unclassifiable contrariness.
"In these 26 stories, she's at her best."
- Jeffrey Ford
"On my short list of beloved idiosyncrasts, which includes R.A. Lafferty and Avram Davidson, there is still no one else the least bit like Anna Tambour."

Alonso has rejoined the French marque on a two-year contract, with the option of extending the deal into a third season.
"The first thing to do is to put the car on the track in January and then start working thoroughly in order to get to the first grand prix of the season with the best car possible," said the 26-year-old, who was crowned world champion in 2005 and 2006. "After that, I will have to have a perfect season and hope for the others not to be too quick."
Alonso concedes his decision on where to drive next year was not an easy one to make given the interest in his services.
It was helped by the fact Renault avoided punishment for their role in the spy saga, despite the fact they were found guilty of fraudulent conduct.
Although refusing to divulge the number of options open to him, he added: "I'm one of the 22 privileged people who drives a Formula One car each year.
"I'm even more privileged to be one of those who can afford to leave one great team (McLaren) and end up in another great team.
"While there are a lot of drivers who never get the chance to drive a Formula One car, so the decision wasn't an easy one to make.
"But I would like to thank all the other teams for their interest to have me work with them."
"In the end, I chose Renault considering their commitment to the sport and because of their strong track record."

In the remodeling business, we generally use the term "inducement" to refer to the giving of something of value — cash, a coupon, a free gift — to a prospective customer and, in exchange, we are able to demonstrate the product, conduct a sales presentation, or close the sale.
But you can't give away just anything; most states place dollar limits on the value an inducement can have, which is normally based on what the inducement cost you, the contractor. In Maryland, for example, a contractor can not give the consumer an inducement that cost the contractor more than $25.
When closing a sale, remodelers often use an inducement known as a "button up," the most common form of which is the "referral fee." Watch out though: These are usually illegal in most states.
It works this way: As an incentive for the buyer to "button up" the sale, the contractor promises a fee to the buyer for referring other customers to the contractor. The referral fee can be in the form of cash, a free dinner, or some other form of compensation.
For example: "If you buy windows from us today, we will give you $100 for every additional customer you send our way who buys windows from us."
Because the sale itself is contingent on the referral aspect, most states prohibit using referral fees as inducements under a home improvement or door-to-door sale statute or sometimes under consumer protection or unfair and deceptive acts and practices (UDAP) statutes.
If the referral fee is not used as an inducement to close the sale, however, it will usually be legal. For example: "Thank you for buying your windows from us. As appreciation for your patronage, we would like to give you $100 for every additional customer you send our way who buys windows from us."
When you use referral fees after a sale has closed, make sure you have the buyer sign something so you can prove that the referral fee is being given after the sale has been made and not as a button up.
As always, however, it is important to understand the rules of the specific state in which the sale takes place. In Rhode Island, for example, a buyer being promised a referral fee must also be provided with specific disclosures, including a chart showing the actual experience of other buyers under the referral fee structure for the prior three years. — D.S.

Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Griffin
The post-Chase Daniel era was noticeable at Missouri's Black-Gold Game as much for what didn't happen as what did.
With Daniel watching from the bench and helping his old coaches, his replacements sagged in a struggling performance where the Missouri defense largely dominated.
Projected starter Blaine Gabbert completed 9 of 17 passes for 93 yards with an interception. He showed a rocket arm with a 60-yard pass that was barely incomplete. But he was also fortunate that two other passes weren't intercepted.
"Everybody has got to improve," Gabbert said. "We're going to have to work hard all summer just to get better. Overall, we've all done well. I just need to work on the little stuff."
Gabbert could be given a little bit of a mulligan, considering top receivers like Jared Perry, Danario Alexander and Michael Egnew did not see action and top running back Derrick Washington barely played.
"Making completions, that's the big thing," Gabbert said. "Just playing catch. That's what we need to work on the most."
The defense's dominant effort showed up on the scoreboard as it claimed a 68-40 triumph over the offense in a scoring system devised by the Missouri coaches. But even those wacky numbers couldn't diminish an effort where the Missouri offense was limited to a combined 355 yards and one touchdown.
Coach Gary Pinkel was pleased with his defense's performance. Second-string quarterback Jimmy Costello couldn't lead his unit to a single first down against Missouri's No. 1 defense.
"If your defense is playing well, then that's OK," Pinkel said. "There's nothing wrong with that. If you're not excited about the defense after the spring game, then that's not good. We're glad they're getting out there and playing football."
The defense's dominance prompted a quick description from Gabbert about their performance.
"They beasted us," Gabbert told the Kansas City Star of the effort. "Plain and simple they just outplayed us."
All-Big 12 linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, one of only four starters back for the defense, said his unit still has much growth ahead.
"I don't think it's safe to say that we're a dominant defense at the moment, but I think we've definitely made some strides and come far," Weatherspoon said. " I think the offense is still good... don't sleep on that offense."
Pinkel was intrigued with the unit's athleticism and particularly how quickly it has adapated to new defensive coordinator Dave Steckel's schemes.
"I don't like to compare, but this season we have a lot of speed on defense," Pinkel said. "We have a lot of young guys, freshman guys, and they have a lot of ability. We have to get better and we have the coaching and ability to get there."
A crowd of 13,122 attended at Faurot Field -- about half of last year's spring game attendance.

From sports bloopers to movie credits, everything goes better with Dire Straits' "Walk of Life"
Night Flight's video profile of Dire Straits — originally airing on August 15, 1986, and now available on Night Flight Plus — offers a look at both the UK and the US videos for "Walk of Life," a song which was not only one of the band's biggest hits, but which one nervy editor suggests can improve the ending of any movie!
Dire Straits had earned plenty of critical and commercial respect for their first four records, with songs like "Sultans of Swing" and "Industrial Disease" becoming album rock radio staples.
The release of Brothers in Arms in the spring of 1985, however, catapulted the band to their biggest level of success.
The album debuted at #1 on the UK charts, spent nine weeks at #1 on the US Billboard chart, and even set a Guinness World Record for being the first album in the nascent CD format to sell a million copies.
Its lead US single, "Money for Nothing," was the band's first #1 Top 40 hit, won a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, and its accompanying music video won Video of the Year at the third MTV Video Music Awards.
In this profile, broadcast after the band's two Grammy wins, you will be treated to many unique videos created for the band's songs, along with exclusive interview footage with Knopfler, where he addressed some of his feelings about the art form.
In one segment, he stated that he would leave directors alone to dramatize his music as they liked, since they should be accorded the same artistic freedom as filmmakers that he enjoyed as a musician.
The three videos from the Making Movies album directed by photographer and commercial artist Lester Bookbinder — "Romeo and Juliet," "Tunnel of Love," and "Skateaway" — are a prime example of this cooperative mindset. This trio was packaged into a twenty minute short that played in theaters and was an early home video success.
However, upon the release of Brothers in Arms, Knopfler had soured on the process.
Where he had been an active dramatic participant in clips for "Tunnel of Love" and "Private Investigations," for the singles from Brothers, he chose only to appear in performance footage or occasional candid moments.
Steve Barron, who directed two videos for the album, said,
"The problem was that Mark Knopfler was very anti-videos. All he wanted to do was perform, and he thought that videos would destroy the purity of songwriters and performers."
"Walk of Life" was the first video offered to American television outlets, though it was not the first single released from the album.
Filmed in the tunnel that runs under the Thames from London Docklands to Greenwich, it depicted a young busker portrayed by Tom Jennings, dressed as Knopfler often dressed in concert, playing the iconic 1937 silver steel guitar from the cover of the album, performing for change from London commuters, with some cutaways to a daylight concert by the band.
After the smash success of "Money for Nothing," "Walk of Life" was earmarked as the followup single, but record executives requested another video to be made for the song, feeling the first version wasn't clicking. A recent USC Film School graduate, Stephen R. Johnson, got the assignment.
The new clip featured another performance of the band, this time intercut with dozens of moments from American sporting events.
In the book I Want My MTV, Johnson described how the incongruous concept came from Knopfler himself:
"I went on tour with them to shoot live footage, and Mark Knopfler told me he wanted the video to have sports in it. So I wrangled all this funny sports footage, with bloopers and the like. Mark's other edict was that he didn't want to be photographed from the side, because he didn't like the fact he had a prominent proboscis. Everyone in the crew was running into each other, trying to avoid that angle."
The new video proved very effective. "Walk of Life" became the band's biggest UK hit, reaching #2 on their singles chart, and peaking respectably at #7 on the US singles chart.
The original busker video for "Walk" was not included in the band's home video anthology; Johnson's sports-themed video has effectively become the default version.
This episode of "Night Flight" offers fans a rare opportunity to watch them back to back and decide for themselves which they prefer. The two videos are a study in contrasts.
The first narrative clip uses the song for poignance, as its hard-working protagonist is often ignored by travelers, barely gets any money, and ends up being forced by cops to pack up and leave.
The second clip uses the song for lighthearted buoyance, at first underscoring missed plays and embarrassing moments, then ending with moments of triumphant victories.
One curious detail both videos share in common though are prominent shots of replacement guitarist Jack Sonni's bare feet.
Each video ultimately suits the song well, since its message is that Johnny's struggle is our struggle.
As sports blogger "CJ" observed, "[While] Mark Knopfler's lyrics are clearly about a street musician busking in subway stations, his working class platitudes are general enough that we can easily apply them to an athlete doggedly pursuing his dreams, on and off the field. Indeed, even the title hints at something greater…Listening to the song feels like receiving one giant 'attaboy' from your radio."
It was that spirit of universality that drove freelance editor Peter Salamone this past March to create The Walk of Life Project, asserting that the song was perfect for the ending of any movie.
Through 52 different examples, running multiple decades and genres, all available to view at his website, Salamone demonstrated his point. His playful exercise received widespread media coverage, inspiring dozens of fans and imitators to continue the experiment.
Here is one of the recent fan-made responses we particularly enjoyed, with the maxim applied to Point Break:
Mark Knopfler dismantled Dire Straits and went his own way a long time ago, and newer generations may derisively refer to the band as "dad rock" today.
However, when those first few organ notes waft into your ears, whether you're recalling those videos from before, or maybe living the movie of your life right now, we're sure you'll think the moment plays better with that great song underneath.

When Andre Villas-Boas studies the West Bromwich Albion team sheet today, he will be only too aware that there is one player itching to prove a point to him. Romelu Lukaku.
The Belgian was Villas-Boas' first signing as Chelsea manager a year ago but despite the £18m price tag, Lukaku only made six Premier League appearances. The Portuguese's decision to favour Spain striker Fernando Torres and club legend Didier Drogba riled Lukaku to the point that he launched a stinging attack, saying he would "never forgive" the sacked coach for ostracising him at Stamford Bridge.
Now, though, the pair are at new clubs – Lukaku on loan at West Brom, Villas-Boas at Spurs – and they meet today after differing starts to the campaign. Nineteen-year-old Lu made a scoring start to life at The Hawthorns, while the man who snubbed him was beaten at Newcastle.
Villas-Boas appears to hold no grudge towards Lukaku for his outburst and says he has no regrets over how the forward was handled during his tenure.
"The decision that Lukaku departed [on loan] was not mine so I have nothing to say about it," said Villas-Boas.
"The player is obviously a player with tremendous talent that competed last year against two of the world's best players.
"Lukaku had frustrations last year that you can understand. It's up to him to compete and when you compete against Fernando Torres and Didier...
"We played last year with one striker and for Lukaku to have more playing time – which he would have been entitled to if I felt it was the right decision to do – but to compete with two of the world's best and the record of either two speaks for themselves.
"I think he is ready for the Premier League. I think he is, it's just that he didn't have enough time last year.
"Had he overtaken those two to be on team selection every weekend it would have been a tremendous achievement for a 19-year-old."

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
I know, I know, many of you can't stand billionaire investor Mark Cuban. I, for some reason, have always liked the guy, even with his childish rants at referees as owner of the otherwise stellar Dallas Mavericks. Moreover, I often listen to points he makes (on Shark Tank and elsewhere), which go beyond his sweet spots of tech, business and basketball.
Recently, Cuban opined about student debt at Inc.'s GrowCo Conference. Against the backdrop of rising student loan default, he made a compelling case that, in the interest of economic growth, the federal government should set a per-student ceiling on the amount of student loan money it gives out every year.
At first blush, this mandate will strike many poor students as patently unfair. When I looked deeper, however, I came to believe that a federal student aid limit -- especially at Cuban's $10,00 per student per year threshold --could unleash dramatic change in higher education costs and spending.
First, lowering student aid would immediately lessen the financial load on college graduates (freeing up capital for economy-boosting purchases like new homes and appliances, plus cutting edge startups).
Secondly, it would weed out dozens of for-profit colleges -- many with questionable methodologies, weak graduation rates and pathetic entrance standards -- that prey on poor and minority teens and returning adult students. Seizing on the Federally goosed canard that "everyone must have a bachelor's degree," for-profits have been able to thrive -- even with tougher federal oversight -- because 86% of all for-profit college funding comes from federal taxpayers. Moreover, 96% of for-profit college students receive federal college loans. Though only roughly 1/10th of American students are enrolled in for-profit colleges, for-profit students receive one-quarter of all federal student aid. Most telling, 22.7% of for-profit college students default on their loans within three years of starting repayment.
Clearly, for-profits have been on the taxpayer gravy train for too long, which has encouraged hard-sell tactics that inflate the value of a for-profit degree, as well as zealous attempts to push students into loan forbearance or deferment, instead of brand-damaging default.
Naturally, one should not paint all for-profits with a broad brush. There are exceptions, such as West-Virginia-based APUS, that fulfill online education's original promise of training service personnel in the field or those, by dint of physical, psychological or cultural barriers, who are unable to attend college in person. Nevertheless, student loan limits would force for-profits to improve admission standards and graduation rates, lest they fail altogher.
The third effect of the Cuban Plan would be to force more students into this country's excellent community college system. As a recent report, The Hidden STEM Economy, by Jonathan Rothwell of the Brookings Institute, documents, there are plenty of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) jobs available to those with only a two-year associate's degree (or what is unfortunately labeled a "sub-baccalaureate degree or credential"). For example, as the data table -- "2011 U.S. Occupations by STEM Score and Employment" -- that accompanies the Brookings Report notes, STEM majors at community colleges can get hired after two years of study in jobs such as computer numeric controlled (CNC) machinist (starting salary: $48,460; one month of experience required), electrical engineering technician (starting salary: $57,240; 6-12 months of experience required), veterinary technician ($31,570 starting salary; 3-6 months experience required), and computer systems analyst (a whopping $82,320, with 6-12 months experience required).
After two years of college, one should have a trade that one can ply in the workforce. Community colleges provide precisely that, often in-person and at a fraction of the cost that for-profits charge for the same material. According to a 2013 College Board report, the average tuition and fees at a public two-year institution was $3,264 per year. This compares favorably to an average of $8,893 for in-state tuition at a public four-year institution and $30,094 per year at a private non-profit four-year institution. At for-profits, the average tuition and fees are $15,130, substantially more than at a community college. Moreover, many students tell me that community colleges often have superior young instructors, who are hungry to make it into the "big leagues" of four-year collegiate instruction.

Hello, we are Tasie & George. We feel honored to have the opportunity to introduce ourselves and we thank you for taking the time to learn a little about us. It is with great emotions that we write this as we know the decisions you are facing are challenging and overwhelming. We understand what it's like to say goodbye as we have had the unfortunate experience of losing our daughter at birth. Sadly, we are unable to have any further biological children of our own, which is what has led us through this journey of adoption. We can truly appreciate the gift of life you would be giving us and would do everything in our power to honor that gift. The good news is that you will continue to be a part of your child's life, should that be something you are comfortable with.
Hopefully you'll see something that connects you to our lives and shows you just how much love, security, support and joy we would provide for your child. We will never take your selfless act for granted and we will always cherish the happiness that your child will bring into our lives. Whatever you decide, may you find peace in making the right decision for you and your child.
Our life is simple. We truly appreciate the small things in life and we don't ever take things for granted. Our families are most important to us and we love spending time with them. We enjoy travelling and experiencing different things but we also love to just chill at home. Watching our favorite TV programs or movies while snuggled up on the couch, or reading helps us wind down at night. On weekends, we love to spend quality time together by hopping in the car on a sunny day for a drive up north. We enjoy the beautiful scenery and talk about whatever is on our minds. We also love riding our bikes and taking long walks together. We are so excited and looking forward to the day that we get to finally visit a playground, to do fun things together with your child as a family.
We are Greek Orthodox Christian with a strong belief in God. We try to live our lives to be good to others and always appreciate the things we have been blessed with. Our hope is to raise your child with the same religious beliefs and traditions. We would want for him or her to know God through their own eyes as we feel the best and most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or even heard, yet must be felt with the heart.
We were both very fortunate and blessed to have been raised in loving and stable homes. Our parents made us feel loved, valued and respected. They nurtured us, challenged us to grow, encouraged learning and education and taught us the importance of family values and morals. Through their love and guidance, they allowed us to grow into the people we are today, and showed us what matters most in life. We want to give these gifts to your child as well, and be there for him or her to help them grow, learn and experience all that life has to offer. We also strongly feel the importance of being equally involved in raising a child and see the value in having a stay at home parent, especially during early childhood. Being a stay at home parent means we are able to really focus on your baby's emotional and physical milestones while providing a relaxed, nurturing environment. Our plan is for Tasie to be home with your child for at least the first 5 years.
We do not believe in physical or emotional punishment, however we do believe in disciplining with appropriate consequences. We plan to parent your child using age appropriate discussion, providing clear expectations, re-direction, positive reinforcement, and withdrawal of privileges. We feel that a child needs unconditional love, and will only respect you as much as you respect them. We want your child to be a strong and confident person who will not be afraid to pursue their dreams, regardless of what other people think. We have no idea what your child's future holds, but as parents we will be fully supportive of his or her choices and will help them to develop any interests he or she may have.
We have been together for 6 years now and were married in 2011. We have had the same circle of friends since high school, but what's ironic is that we never once crossed paths. Our first encounter together was at our mutual friends wedding, where we were both a part of the bridal party. About 2 years later, we ran into each other one evening, and the rest is history!
Our first date was so natural and relaxed and our connection was instant. We always have such a great time together. We are truly best friends and are better people because of the influence we have on one another. As a couple, our greatest strengths are in our open and honest communication. We both believe this is a key component to having a successful relationship. Our love, our families and our commitment to one another is what drives our marriage and helps us to never forget what is most important. We have a very fun, loving and supportive marriage and are looking forward to experiencing the joys of life with your child.
I was born in Toronto, Ontario and graduated from York University with Honours in Kinesiology. Since graduating, I have worked in the health care field treating patients suffering from various injuries. I manage a rehabilitation centre and I really enjoy helping our patients. During my free time, I love to play and watch sports, read, travel and most importantly spend time with my wife and our families. I also love the summer months as it allows me to barbeque, go fishing and garden. As a child, I was raised by my loving parents who were immigrants to Canada. We were always involved in sports, cultural groups and Sunday school. Most of our weekends were spent either away at soccer tournaments or with family at a picnic or barbeque. I have a younger sister and brother who both live close by and have younger children. My wife and I love spending time with all our nephews and nieces. I can't wait for one day to be given the opportunity to take your child to a family picnic or barbeque so he or she can play with all of his or her future cousins. I look forward to taking him or her to the park, zoo and having them involved in sports and all kinds of activities. I have always dreamed of having a son or daughter that I could devote all my love, time and energy towards.
Where do I begin? People ask me, "what made you fall in love with George? How did you know he was the one?" Well, besides those broad muscular shoulders and bald head of his! But seriously, I never imagined that there could be someone so perfect for me. George is the kindest, most loving and honest person I know. His smile and laugh are infectious! He's patient and understanding and has a very special way with children…everyone adores him! He's such a funny and happy person and he always looks at life in a positive light, he is my inspiration. George loves being active and he especially loves to travel, explore and experience new things. He has this special ability of being able to keep a well balanced life and I love that the simplest of things make him so happy. What made me truly fall in love with him are his morals, his faith, his love for his family and especially the respect and love he has for me and my family. There are no words to describe how lucky and blessed I am for having him in my life.
I was born in Toronto, Ontario and have lived in the York Region area pretty much all my life. I am a Medical Skin Care Therapist and take great pleasure in helping others look and feel better about themselves. I'm the youngest of 3 sisters and we really enjoyed our lives together as kids. As adults, we continue to be very close and enjoy reminiscing of our great times growing up. My life as a child was awesome. Our home was always filled with laughter, music and lots of dancing! And I must not forget to mention the constant smell of goodies baking in the background. My mother was always in the kitchen cooking and baking for an army! We were extremely fortunate to have two very loving parents who respected each other and had an exceptionally loving and committed relationship. I have a large extended family with lots of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. We spend lots of time together, especially over the holidays for Easter and Christmas. As for being a mom, I can't wait!! I feel there are so many beautiful things in life to teach and share with a child and both my husband and I always dreamed of being able to do that. We have so much love in our hearts to share and we cannot wait for the moment to welcome a child into our lives.
Tasie is such a special individual that I can't even express in words how incredible she is. She is a fun, loving, caring, courageous and generous person. My wife always puts others before herself and treats everyone with respect. What attracted me most about Tasie is how caring and friendly she is around people, especially children. She has such a magical and special gift with kids. All of our nieces and nephews are always talking about Tasie and how they can't wait to see her again. Another one of Tasie's great gifts is that she is an unbelievable cook and baker. This would explain why I have to exercise twice as long to keep off those extra calories! Along with her exceptional cooking and baking skills, Tasie loves to laugh, dance and enjoy the outdoors. I can't wait to get home from work or for the weekends to come and spend time with her. Whenever I am having a bad day or just having the "blahs", she brings up my spirits. She is so comforting to be around and I am so lucky to have her in my life.
Our families and friends are a huge part of our lives. We enjoy spending time together and being there for one another and we especially love hosting large get togethers. You'll always find George in front of the barbeque and Tasie does what she does best…party planning and being the hostess! Every summer we organize a cousin getaway, either camping or at a cottage. We have so much fun together and it gives all the kids an opportunity to stay closely connected, just as we did growing up. Your child will have a ton of cousins who are all eagerly awaiting to meet him or her. We are very fortunate that our immediate family all live close by. We love our nieces and nephews like our own and we have a special place in our hearts for each and every one of them. They are all truly special individuals in their own little ways and have brought so much joy into our lives. We have also had the great honour of becoming Godparents to 3 beautiful children. This has been an enormous blessing to both of us.
Our home is located in a suburban area that is close to schools, parks and amenities. It has 4 bedrooms and lots of space for children to play! Our house sides onto a pond and backs onto a very small trailed forest. In the winter months, the pond freezes over and you'll find all the neighborhood kids out skating. It's a nice, quiet neighborhood, with lots of growing families and we are very happy here.
If we are fortunate enough to be chosen as your child's adoptive parents, we want you to know that your child will live in a home that is warm, happy and filled with love and encouragement. We will raise your child as we were raised; in an environment based on faith and spirituality, love and laughter. We will teach the value of education, friendships and family. We will show your child how to appreciate, have compassion and be kind and gentle to others. We will love your child unconditionally and always be there to listen, support and cheer them on to follow their dreams, whatever they may be. And most importantly, he or she will always know that your love is what brought them to us.
We greatly admire your courage and strength in considering adoption as a way to provide the best possible future for your child. We understand the importance of them knowing where they came from. For that reason, we want to raise your child in an open, honest and trusting environment. We are committed to communicating and maintaining contact at a level you are most comfortable with. We are enthusiastic about participating in the type of adoption where we would develop a relationship with you through letters, pictures, emails and visits, if that is what you'd like. We also will be very happy if you would choose a middle name for your child.
We understand that throughout the different stages in your child's life, they will have many questions about you. We plan on telling your child about his or her adoption from an early age. We've decided to first create an Adoption Story Book. This story would include the details of their adoption such as information of their birth parents along with any pictures and letters you would like to share, and how we all came together as a family. As they grow and begin to have a deeper understanding of adoption, we will then have them create their own Lifebook Journal which they can use as they wish. We would always encourage you to share letters, cards, pictures, and any information about you that you are comfortable sharing, so that they are able to keep them in their Lifebook Journal.
We would be grateful for the opportunity to meet with you. Should you ask us to parent your child, we would look forward to learning about the hopes you have and the type of relationship you would like to have with your child and with us.
Thank you again for considering us. We truly wish you all the best with your decisions. May you find strength, courage, comfort and support in the days ahead.
George & Tasie

Abstract The long-term (26 months at room temperature) stability of X-ray induced color centers in silver-doped glass was investigated. The stability is greatly improved after silver addition due to the competitive trapping of electrons by silver ions. The fading of color centers obeyed first-order kinetics with a half-life of longer than 5 years, showing the practicable application of such silver-doped glass as a recyclable colored glass.

Directed by Kim Soo-ryong (김수룡)
Screenplay by Goo Seon-kyeong (구선경)
SBS | Airing dates : 2007/04/07~2007/05/2716 episodes
A separation of love due to fate
And a love fulfilled through fate.
When she was a child, Eun-soo (actress Koh So-young) moved to Australia and became a violinist. She has always wanted to return to her homeland of Korea, and her wish comes true when she has the opportunity to perform there. In Korea, she meets the happy-go-lucky car racer named Hyun-woo (actor Park Jung-chul). After she tells him about missing her hometown of Pyeongchang, he arranges to drive her there the very next day. He even shows the courtesy of asking around to find the old village where Eun-soo grew up in. Eun-soo eventually falls in love with this man and vows to live a life of happiness.
Their private engagement ceremony takes place in Australia and they go on a wonderful trip together. But Eun-soos happiness ends here.
After Hyun-woo returns to Seoul, she no longer hears from him and hears word that he has married another woman. She doesnt want to believe this but after hundreds of unanswered calls and e-mails, she has no way of finding out the truth.
Three years pass and she slowly forgets Hyun-woo. She is asked by Dong-hyuk (actor Ryu Tae-joon) for her hand in marriage but by coincidence she meets Hyun-woo again. Eun-soo turns away from him coldly, but soon realizes that the reason for his sudden disappearance was due to their parents.
While Eun-soo is miserable with her sad fate, Dong-hyuk grows angry with her after he learns that she is falling in love with Hyun-woo again. Eun-soos heart wavers as she is stuck between her past and current lovers.

Agritourism in Panama
Panama agritourism information and reviews.
Many people are growing more interested in how their food is produced, or how the population of a foreign country produces food. Agritourism is a style of vacation that normally takes place on a farm, either domestically or abroad.
Agritourism farms in Panama offer tours to allow a person to view the growing, harvesting, and processing of locally grown foods, such as corn, coconuts, sugar cane, and pineapple. Often the farmers provide a home-stay opportunity and general education on the workings of the farm.
Children who visit the farms often have not seen a live duck, or pig, and have not picked an apple right off the tree. This form of expanded agritourism has given birth to what are often called entertainment farms. These farms cater to the pick-your-own crowd, offering not only regular farm products, but also food, mazes, open-pen animals, train rides, picnic facilities, and pick-your-own produce. In the United States, dude ranches offer tourists the chance to work on cattle ranches and sometimes include cattle drives.
Please submit the location and details for agritourism farms in Panama.

For some, planning is one of the hardest things to do. Being able to set up a clear map of what needs to be done, how to do it, and how to move on from task to task can be difficult. But, being able to create a proper plan and execute it is crucial for businesses to run at their best. So if you struggle with making plans as a leader within your company, or you see others struggling with this skill, how do you go about learning/teaching it? With strategic planning training, a consultant will teach you all of the steps, tips, and tricks that you need know to create great ideas that will work and can help you address the following problems in the strategizing of your company.
Lack of Action – Having lack of action in any plan makes for a waste of time. The entire purpose of writing out a plan is to make sure that your business is doing what it needs to in order to reach a specific goal. Without action, there is no reaching a goal. Strategic planning training can help provide you with the tools that you need to come up with a plan that not only includes action, but also motivates it.
No Direction – Having a plan with no direction is not productive or helpful for anyone. Direction is what leads those involved to the goal of which the plan was created for. A strategic planning consultant can look at a plan and essentially write out a road map to the goal, and they can teach you how to do this as well.
No Execution – Probably the single most important part of writing any plan is the execution of it. Without execution, there is no point in getting together to write the plan in the first place. Many ideas lack the language and steps to get the plan from paper to the workplace. Strategic planning training can assist anyone in writing up ideas that are just as good on paper as they are in real life.
Lack of Resources – Plans can look really great on paper and even get started nicely in real life, but the fact is, without the proper amount of resources, no one is going to get really far. A strategic planning consultant can teach you how to come up with a plan that utilizes resources you have as well as how to coordinate to obtain more in the future should your idea require more strategizing.
And the list goes on and on. There is nothing to gain but pure benefit from strategic planning training. Being able to create and execute plans for your business is a skill that every leader needs. A strategic planning consultant can teach you how to write up a great plan and mold it into a measurable and realistic goal that will help your business grow. Getting things done in the best possible and most productive manner is a goal for every business, and proper planning skills can make this goal a reality.

Reviews for Annunciation |
Kaira-chan chapter 1 . 2/3/2006 ...I want to review this, but I feel it would be all but a carbon copy of the last one I gave you, only replace Rociel with Gabriel. None the less, here I go. A beautiful look into Gabriel's head. She isn't really... explored much in the manga, but I love how you explored her in this. Her thoughts on the humans, her love for them, why she loved them. Her thoughts on Christ. And her thoughts on the siblings. I adore your style, I admit it. I think it's really quite sweet. It fits with the characters wonderfully. The last three lines of the fanfic, Gabriel's contemplation, was wonderful. The elipsis gave the impression that her thoughts can keep going for eternity, just contemplating it, and though you half wish you could see what else she thinks, if it had gone any longer it would've become tedious. |
GlassSplinter chapter 1 . 6/14/2005 That was brilliant, it was beautiful. I wonder if the true angels wonder the same things? This piece really gives hope to the big picture, and hope in the big picture gives hope to the small one. Gabriel is a doll frozen in time, but a happy doll frozen in time. )~(Piscean)~(Wisdom)~( |
Eternal Musing chapter 1 . 3/14/2005 I know I said this before, but I must say it again. You are a true genius; not many are able to hold both such haunting melody graced with happiness and hope in their chapters. I wished I had your talent to do that so easily; it's so rare for me to come up with this kind of settings. T_T I can not wait for the following five chapters after this. GO YOU! Just one question, what nationality are you? There aren't many Asian writers on the site, much less ones who have such brilliant pieces such as yours. 'Nways, me Chinese. _ Hope you update soon! :D |

Uganda Population 2017
The life expectancy in the country is around 58.5 years, with the life expectancy of males being 56.7 years and 60.5 years for females. Due to the high marriage rate in the country, the age structure is skewed towards the younger generations with 48.47% of the Ugandaís population being in the 0-14 year-old age group. After that, 28.34% of the population of Uganda is in the 25-64 year age group. Lastly, 21.16% of the total population is dominated by the 15-24 year age group. Just 2.04% of the population s 65 or older.
These statistics show that Uganda can boast about a large population that can be classified as a work force, which can in turn help in its growth. However, with a huge percentage of the population that is so young (0-14 years old), it could prove to be a grave situation for the country because it has to provide for these children and make sure that it can control its high birth rate. The Total Fertility Rate (TFR), which is described as the number of children per woman, of Uganda is one of the highest in the region and has remained on average around 6.9 in the past decade. As of 2016, the fertility rate for the country is 6.
Uganda Demographics
Furthermore, the number of ethnic groups present in Uganda is very large, making it one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the region. The main ethnic group is called the Ganda, which makes up 16.9% of the population, followed by the Nkole, Soga and Kiga tribes, which make up 9.5%, 8.4% and 6.9% respectively. There are many other tribes; however, they constitute a very small percentage of the total population.
The inhabitants of Uganda are mainly Roman Catholic and make up 39.3% of the total population. Anglican, Muslim and Pentecostal believers represent 32%, 13.7% and 11.1% of the total population respectively.
The rich ethnic, cultural and religious diversity sets Uganda apart. As it is a developing nation, it does house significant working class age groups that can help in its economic growth. Nevertheless, it is imperative that it provides suitable opportunities for its residents. Most importantly, as its sex ratio is roughly 1:1 with males housing a very slender majority, it can become a country that relies strongly on its women in all aspects of life. This in turn can help its image to flourish, while giving it another avenue for growth. The country's women can partake in any responsibilities that are required in any development sector in Uganda.

Winner: Audible's Best of 2016 - Classic
"Anna Karenina is one of my favorite books. But when I agreed to read it for Audible, I had no idea how much work it would be, how intense it would be, and how deeply I would fall in love with it. There were places where I thought 'if I don't give Alexey Alexandrovitch the respect that he deserves in my reading of this scene, a critical part of the book will be ruined. If I don't give EVERYONE the utmost respect and understanding, I'm not doing justice to this brilliantly compassionate book.' But at the same time, I also wanted to have a light touch in the way I played the different characters, so that the magnificence of the novel could shine through. I feel like performing this novel is one of the major accomplishments of my work life - it was so challenging and so deep, a real pleasure." (Narrator Maggie Gyllenhaal)
Leo Tolstoy's classic story of doomed love is one of the most admired novels in world literature. Generations of readers have been enthralled by his magnificent heroine, the unhappily married Anna Karenina, and her tragic affair with dashing Count Vronsky. Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight, The Honourable Woman) cites Tolstoy's epic as one of her favorite books of all time, and her love for the literature permeates her performance. Anna Karenina is a masterpiece not only because of the unforgettable woman at its core and the stark drama of her fate but also because it explores and illuminates the deepest questions about how to live a fulfilled life.
