MySQL is a popular and robust open source database product that supports key subsets of SQL on both Linux and Unix systems. MySQL is free for nonprofit use and costs a small amount for commercial use. Unlike commercial databases, MySQL is affordable and easy to use. This book includes introductions to SQL and to relational database theory. If you plan to use MySQL to build web sites or other Linux or Unix applications, this book teaches you to do that, and it will remain useful as a reference once you understand the basics. Ample tutorial material and examples are included throughout.
This book has all you need to take full advantage of this powerful database management system. It takes you through the whole process from installation and configuration to programming interfaces and database administration. This second edition has a greatly enhanced administration chapter that includes information on administrative tools, server configuration, server startup and shutdown, log file management, database backup and restore, and database administration and repair. In addition, a new chapter on security describes data, server, and client-server security, while a chapter on extending MySQL provides an overview of MySQL internals and describes the use of MySQL user-defined functions.
If you know C/C++, Java, Perl, PHP, or Python, you can write programs to interact with your MySQL database. In addition, you can embed queries and updates directly in an HTML file so that a web page becomes its own interface to the database. Managing and Using MySQL includes chapters on the programming language interfaces, and it also includes a complete reference section with specific function calls for each language.
Also included in the reference section are references to the SQL language, and details of the MySQL system variables, programs, and utilities. New to the second edition is a reference to the internal MySQL tables, which will be of particular interest to those who want to work extensively with MySQL security.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. Kingfishers The animals featured on the cover of Managing & Using MySQL 2nd Edition are kingfishers. This type of bird can be found all over the world, including North America, Europe, Africa, and New Zealand, with the greatest numbers being found in southeast Asia. There are over 80 species of kingfishers, which range in size from five to eighteen inches and which cover a broad spectrum of color. These typically long-billed birds pair for life and are considered to be very territorial. Their nests are long and tunnel-shaped, and are often found in exposed tree roots or water banks.Most kingfishers live along the banks of rivers or lakes, as the primary staple of their diet is fish. To catch its prey, a kingfisher will perch on a branch above water, watch for a fish, hover for a moment, and then dive headfirst into the water, grabbing the fish in its beak, and heading back up to the surface. The process takes about a third of a second. The kingfisher's diet also consists of spiders, insects, and small amphibians.

This book is much better than mSQL & MySQL versus errata, however, it still lacks in a number of areas, such as clear instruction on how to set up MySQL security and protection against intrusions. I like the section on Perl, though some as another reviewer noted, it would be helpful if more examples were included. Rather than spending a lot of time on the CGI module, they would have better invested it in giving us a working example of a well-commented database in Perl such as personal phone book or something similar with add, delete and update functionality and at least a simple search function. I found the manual on the mysql.com web page to be much more helpful/useful in getting the info I needed. On CGI.pm, I rely on Lincoln Stein's book. I'm certain that writing my own class or templates would be interesting to say the least, but when I have code to crank out, I want to know how to get through the basics. I found my SQL reference a better resource for general SQL since it compares MySQL with PostgreSQL, MS SQL, and Oracle.If you're just getting started, this book can be helpful, but you'll still need the online docs from mysql.com to serve as a backup resource if you're going to get serious.I must say at the least, I'm very happy with O'Reilly customer support. When I told them how crummy the first book was and how dissatisfied I was with the quality of the SQL books coming from O'Reilly, I was happy to hear them say they'd send me a free copy of the second version when it came out. Months later (on-time), without prompting, they did as they had promised. Also, as promised, the need for lots of errata dropped significantly (QA works - imagine that :)

Very, very poorly done with regard to Java and Windows environments. The download examples completely skip the Java chapter. This not the usual good quality I've found from 0'Reilly. I'll definitely look elsewhere and more closely at the content next time around.
By vu
Thanks for writting this book.First of all, sorry for my English. So far, my complain is that there is no database example came with the book so readers/learners can see actions in corresponding to what/commands used in the book. The examples downloaded from your website do not help on this concern.Hope you have mysql database examples relates to what you wrote in the book. It is probably that the book is so good at materials explainations, guides...but there is no examples packaged with the book; I give 4/5 for contents.Best regards,- vu

Hi everyone at the dentedhelmet I'm masterds1 and I'm on a quest for a Mandalorian Costume of my very own. I've actually been a member of the dentedhelemt for a while. I joined in 2007 after I went to Star Wars Celebration IV in LA, and I did make a post then about my desire for a new costume but then I really fell out of the loop for it. I focused more solely on my Jedi Costume which I completed a few years ago. I've used my jedi costume for a lot of Star Wars events over the past few years and still continue to enjoy it. But I've always wanted to work on a new costume preferably a Mandalorian costume like Jango Fett better yet a costume one of my very own. I'd even go as far to say that I've wanted to have a Darth Vader, clone trooper, and Storm Trooper costumes. Ok I think this will sum up everything: I want to make some armor! It finally time. I've had the desire for a long time and I really want to get my costume project going and on track. But I wouldn't even know where to start when it comes to making or getting a costume made. I do know that here at the dentedhelmet is the place to be for Mandlorian Armor I seek. Alright so I am looking for advice please share your wisdom with me fellow dentedhelmet members so that I can fulfill my destiny.
My Mandlorian costume plans:
Ok first off I have two blasters that I want to use with my costume. the blasters were made by hasbro I want to get them casted so they'll look less like toys lol and more like something I could use with my costume. I get to keep the cool sound effects for the blasters but we can get rid of the toy look. Here is a photo of the blasters
I need to figure out how I'm going to get my armor I've heard of do it yourself but I wouldn't even know where to start. Maybe I could do part of it myself I've heard of "Trash can armor" and all that. But still I'd really like to know if there is anyone in the dentedhelmet that makes armor professionally. Hey anyone live in Southern California that makes armor? Well I'm ready to get started may the Force be with you.
Hey incase anyone was wondering about my finished Jedi costume here is a quick look.

I picked up a fine tipped (it is actually a micro tipped by "Sharpie" standards) "Prismacolor" metallic silver pen at "Michaels" craft store this weekend and was going to try it for some of the micro small scratchs on the bucket.......anyone tried this and if so can it be sealed?????
I know it's considered ink,but it is so much like paint I thought I could have a little more control with it........"Sharpie" even has pens in fine point.Testors has paint pens,but the tips are way too big for bucket detailing.
I might try it on my practice gauntlets first.........

Card was never mailed.
"When the stock market crashed in 1929, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. held a $91 million, 24-year lease on a piece of midtown Manhattan property properly known as "the speakeasy belt." Plans to gentrify the neighborhood by building a new Metropolitan Opera House on the site were dashed by the failing economy and the business outlook was dim. Nevertheless, Rockefeller made a bold decision that would leave a lasting impact on the city's architectural and cultural landscape. He decided to build an entire complex of buildings on the property-buildings so superior that they would attract commercial tenants even in a depressed city flooded with vacant rental space. The project would express the highest ideals of architecture and design and stand as a symbol of optimism and hope.
More than 300 million people have come to the Music Hall to enjoy stage shows, movies, concerts and special events. There's no place like it to see a show or stage a show. Everything about it is larger than life.
Radio City Music Hall is the largest indoor theatre in the world. Its marquee is a full city-block long. Its auditorium measures 160 feet from back to stage and the ceiling reaches a height of 84 feet. The walls and ceiling are formed by a series of sweeping arches that define a splendid and immense curving space. Choral staircases rise up the sides toward the back wall. Actors can enter there to bring live action right into the house. There are no columns to obstruct views. Three shallow mezzanines provide comfortable seating without looming over the rear Orchestra section below. The result is that every seat in Radio City Music Hall is a good seat."

Oh Look, Desktops
Desktops are sneaky, you know. Go on, look around the room you're in. What do you see? Maybe over by the plant, or just past the windowsill? That's right. IT'S A DESKTOP! And the only way you can keep it from attacking is to buy a desktop of your own that'll scare it away. Hurry. You may not have much time.

Hannity & Colmes guest compared U.S. soldiers' maltreatment of Iraqi POWs to "frat hazing"
Two days after CBS's 60 Minutes II first broadcast photographs of U.S. military police posing and smiling next to naked, hooded Iraqi prisoners of war, Hannity & Colmes hosted a guest who compared the maltreatment of the Iraqi POWs to "frat hazing." On the April 30 broadcast of FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes, former U.S. Army sergeant and former interrogation instructor Tony Robinson stated that "frat hazing is worse" than "what [was] happening in these pictures":
ROBINSON: Well, one thing that needs to be understood, is that there's also an impact on the torturer. ... Now, I use the word torture, but that's not what's happening in these pictures.
HANNITY: What is it?
ROBINSON: I've seen -- I've seen worse than this at -- frat hazing is worse than this.
HANNITY: So in other words, this is not a big deal? What should the punishment be if these guys in fact are found guilty of whatever is going on over there, whatever is going on?
ROBINSON: Well, it's not torture. If it was, they'd be accused of torture. They're accused of maltreatment. I'm not making excuses for them.
The April 29 edition of The New York Times gave the following account:
In one photograph obtained by [60 Minutes II], naked Iraq prisoners are stacked in a human pyramid, one with a slur written on his skin in English. In another, a prisoner stands on a box, his head covered, wires attached to his body. The program said that according to the United States Army, he had been told that if he fell off the box, he would be electrocuted. Other photographs show male prisoners positioned to simulate sex with each other.

Much like the Chapman situation, we should trust the powers that be regarding Hamilton. They know much more than any of us
yes and I would love to see him succeed in a reds uniform, but this guy has yet to prove that he can get on base on a regular bases (in higher minor league...)
he can´t steal first base => get him the at bats he needs and convert him to a centerfielder... his arm isn´t cf ready yet...
Heisey proving me wrong. Funny how this team looks 180 degrees different when you simply have Chris hitting in the 2 spot and BP at clean up.
Heisey should be serviceable as long as he doesn't press.
Once Bruce gets hot he should hit 4th to protect Votto.
I'd rather go with a straight Paul/Heisey platoon.
I know it's early, but Robinson looks like he might be a decent LH PH option when Paul starts.
His speed made a big difference today.
Based on what he's done with his few ABs so far, I think XP has earned some starts.

i think you should first look on google before depending who will answer your question here in forum...
I'm an absolute beginner to Linux. I have downloaded and installed Backtrack 5 and have a problem with the screen brightness.
I have a laptop HP6735b with an ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics card.
From the menu where you choose the OS, and onwards, the screen is very dim and can hardly be read. The brightness FN keys on the key board do not work. In the Power Management settings the brightness slider is grey and cannot be adjusted. Strangely, when disconnecting the power lead there is a very slight increase in brightness, (as the default settings - Performance is maximum brightness and Powersave is around 60%) .
When connecting a second monitor to the VGA port as a clone, the brightness is normal on the second monitor.
I downloaded and installed the latest ATI driver "ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run" but it crashed and wouldn't reboot so I had to reinstall Backtrack.
Can anyone help please?

What gives you the impression that I didn't look on Google before I posted? I searched for hours on Google without success.
I posted on this forum as a last resort before giving up.
You can't say that searching on Google gave you without success. You just have to search and search and search.
By the way, did you install it on vmware? If so, install Vmware Tools.
Thanks for the pointer. I'll try Vmware Tools.
Look at the keyboard and push the button that looks like a bright or dark asterisk. Yours should be around F2 and F3. Some might involve pushing the Fn key.

There Are No Festivities in Jail
Remember: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over
As you celebrate the holiday season enjoying traditions, food, family and fun, be reminded that Lakeland Police will be out this holiday season from December 13, 2013, to January 1, 2014, to arrest anyone caught driving drunk behind the wheel.
The message is simple, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. Drinking alcohol and driving do not mix. If you plan to consume alcohol, you should also plan for a designated driver.
Millions of drivers on America's highways still think they are invincible, and they choose to jeopardize their safety and the safety of others on our roads. Don't let your 2013 holiday season end in an arrest or worse, death.
In December, an average of 25 people a day die in drunk driving crashes. That means approximately 775 people aren't making it home for the holidays. In 2010, more than 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving crashes. And, almost 1 out of every 4 cars in fatal crashes during December had a drunk driver. That's 1 in 4 crashes that were avoidable!
Lakeland Police Department recommends these simple tips for a safe holiday season:
• Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin;
• Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home;
• If you're impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation;
• If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don't hesitate to contact your local law enforcement; and
• Remember, Drive Sober Or Get Pulled Over. If you know someone who is about to drive while impaired, take that person's keys and help him or her make other arrangements to get home safely.

September 8, 2009
Los Angeles, CA (WomenPr.com) -Are you plagued with Superwoman Syndrome? Many women I've coached have felt plagued with the pressure of needing to do it all and be everything to everyone. Oftentimes, this feeling begins in adolescence and follows us into womanhood as we continually strive to measure up to some unattainable ideal we hold in our minds
We have all heard the instructions of an airline attendant reminding us to put on our own oxygen mask before we help anyone else with theirs. You may have heard this cited as a metaphor for self-care because it so accurately expresses why it is important. It implies that you cannot do an efficient job of taking care of anyone else until you take care of yourself. However, women often find themselves feeling guilty and selfish when they take time for themselves and put others things aside or say no. Remember that in order to truly be an empowered woman who experiences feminine success, you may have to say no to others temporarily so you can say yes in the long run. There's nothing wrong with delegating a task to someone else or delaying a commitment for the sake of maintaining your own mental, emotional, and physical health. You can even encourage yourself by saying "I am caring for myself so that I am better able to care for others" or some other mantra that will encourage you. It also helps to remember that self-care doesn't have to be composed of massively time-consuming acts. In fact, the best prescription for taking care of yourself is probably small, daily rituals; for example, taking one half-hour for yourself at the beginning and end of the day to meditate, journal, or pray or spending some time at the end of the day alone in a warm bath or relaxing on your patio.
Whatever you decide, making some small gesture where you put yourself first every day will pay off increase your feminine success and make you more effective in the many roles you play throughout a typical day. The oxygen you need is all around you; sometimes you just need to be reminded to breathe.

Will decide later...
I'm not sure if it pertains to Dia De Los Muertos. The Third Eye is a concept from Asian mysticism.
I couldn't resist. Its an amazing design, i'm a big fan of intricate details. its hard to find something like that on a good quality shirt for £9!!
At least one will be coming over to England. That skull will be getting its share of air miles =D
First shirt I've bought in a while. Makes me think of Alex Grey with a de los twist. More like this and less cute crap please.

Pretty much every other aspect of the shirt is based on Dia De Los Muertos designs though. Especially seeing as the artist is from my neck of the woods (San Diego), you can rest assured that was the basis for the majority of the design. Real strong Mexican influence here in SD...our art, language, food, etc are all under the influence.
Kind of surprised this didn't sell out.
Not exactly a T-shirt fan myself, BUT I couldn't resist this one! I usually shop for friends...no one is wearing this one but ME!
This was my latest random woot shirt. :D Not really my style, but it'll be great for Halloween and Day of the Dead!
I just got this shirt in a random shirt day buy. I must have missed it's day on as shirt of the day, I didn't know it was glow in the dark. I am now very pleased.
I just got this as a random shirt.
As for the design.. I really don't like it. it's just not me. I guess I got a bit of bad luck.
Once I finally found it on the site, I discovered that the eyes glow in the dark! That's the one redeemable quality, and I'm now satisfied with this shirt.
Wearing this shirt now with my homies Morgan and Vaughn. "Still looks good" exclaimed Vaughn. Still glowin' like a campeon! Would be willing to sell for $56, PM me.
Is there any chance this could ever return, I get rave reviews when I wear it but time and deoderant are the friend of no tshirt.
Please return this shirt!!!!!!!!

Tropical tropospheric trends
If this is what should be expected over a long time period, what should be expected on the short time-scale available for comparison to the satellite or radiosonde records? This period, 1979 to present, has seen a fair bit of warming, but also a number of big El Niño events and volcanic eruptions which clearly add noise to any potential signal. In comparing the real world with models, these sources of additional variability must be taken into account. It's straightforward for the volcanic signal, since many simulations of the 20th century done in support of the IPCC report included volcanic forcing. However, the occurrence of El Niño events in any model simulation is uncorrelated with their occurrence in the real world and so special care is needed to estimate their impact.
Additionally, it's important to make a good estimate of the uncertainty in the observations. This is not simply the uncertainty in estimating the linear trend, but the more systematic uncertainty due to processing problems, drifts and other biases. One estimate of that error for the MSU 2 product (a weighted average of tropospheric+lower stratospheric trends) is that two different groups (UAH and RSS) come up with a range of tropical trends of 0.048 to 0.133 °C/decade – a much larger difference than the simple uncertainty in the trend. In the radiosonde records, there is additional uncertainty due to adjustments to correct for various biases. This is an ongoing project (see RAOBCORE for instance).
So what do Douglass et al come up with?
Superficially it seems clear that there is a separation between the models and the observations, but let's look more closely….
First, note that the observations aren't shown with any uncertainty at all, not even the uncertainty in defining a linear trend – (roughly 0.1°C/dec). Secondly, the offsets between UAH, RSS and UMD should define the minimum systematic uncertainty in the satellite observations, which therefore would overlap with the model 'uncertainty'. The sharp eyed among you will notice that the satellite estimates (
even UAH Correction: the UAH trends are consistent (see comments)) – which are basically weighted means of the vertical temperature profiles – are also apparently inconsistent with the selected radiosonde estimates (you can't get a weighted mean trend larger than any of the individual level trends!).
It turns out that the radiosonde data used in this paper (version 1.2 of the RAOBCORE data) does not have the full set of adjustments. Subsequent to that dataset being put together (Haimberger, 2007), two newer versions have been developed (v1.3 and v1.4) which do a better, but still not perfect, job, and additionally have much larger amplification with height. For instance, look at version 1.4:
The authors of Douglass et al were given this last version along with the one they used, yet they only decided to show the first (the one with the smallest tropical trend) without any additional comment even though they knew their results would be less clear.
But more egregious by far is the calculation of the model uncertainty itself. Their description of that calculation is as follows:
For the models, we calculate the mean, standard deviation (sigma), and estimate of the uncertainty of the mean (sigma_SE) of the predictions of the trends at various altitude levels. We assume that sigma_SE and standard deviation are related by sigma_SE = sigma/sqrt(N – 1), where N = 22 is the number of independent models. ….. Thus, in a repeat of the 22-model computational runs one would expect that a new mean that would lie between these limits with 95% probability.

Kicking Horse in Golden, BC, Canada
Well, it's been a while since I posted so may as well break the ice again here.
Kicking Horse resort, located by the town of Golden, British Columbia, is pretty sick! Typical BC resort where the runs are not clearly defined like our resorts on the Alberta side. I find that to be a good thing, personally, if you like to avoid groomers.
The resort has a great portion of advanced to expert runs, which must first be accessed off the gondola. So it would be in the best interest of the person just starting off to avoid the temptation of using the gondola, and instead use the Catamount chairlift instead (which will take you to the gentler slopes of the resort).
Taking the gondola up the mountain brings you up to a muster point where you can drop off either through glades toward Terminator Peak, head back towards the restaurant (located near the top of the gondola) to bypass the glades to head down Terminator. Better still, on the opposite side of the gondola you can either drop down some steep chutes on CPR Ridge, or head towards a very narrow, curved green run (note to beginners: this is a very narrow run with a large influx of people heading down the same path as you...with cliffs on both sides of the run, lol) which will take you towards Paradise Chair. Drop in anywhere along the cliffed edges to hit some mogul runs and enjoy the powder as you head towards Paradise Chair.
Once you are on Paradise Chair, you'll notice off to your right hand side a VERY narrow cliff edge bordering alongside a ridge (Redemption Ridge). We will get to this in a sec, but for now take the chair up to the top of Paradise and drop into Chrystal Bowl...icy and windy at the top but once you're in 20 feet it's powder time. Unfortunatley this can get tracked out pretty quick so now we are going to make it back down to Paradise Chair and take it back up.
Once back at the top of Paradise Chair, head towards the ridge you noticed earlier and hug it tight (you'll know what I mean when you see it). My favourite drop point is the very first opening on the ridge. It's a double black diamond called "Certainty". It has a really sketchy entry point as there is a large boulder face in your way and some rocky drops (you'll see a lot of people turn away at this ridge and move down towards lower ridges). Once you're in though, you have some mad steep runs because now you are on Whitewall!! Careful here as there have been some avalanche deaths as of late. Last time I was there, two skiers were killed in an avalanche 3 days prior. We could still see their tracks where they had dropped in, then the washout of snow, and the avalanche pile below. This was only several hundred feet away from our drop in point. (Avalanche deaths) Use caution. When I return next season, I'll hike it to the summit of Whitewall and drop in there. So stoked for that!!!
The bonus to hitting Redemption Ridge is that from the top of Whitewall to nearby the base resort you will not see very many people on that side of the ridge. If you're riding in a group (ideal here) take the time to hit some of the natural features (mainly large, snow covered boulders. The snow is deep and soft so the landing is pretty sweet (and my version of landing is either on my back or on my head). The only thing that does suck about it is that you end up having to take the ganjola back up and traverse back to Paradise (guess it's not bad considering how much riding time you actually can get in there).
Quick note: Off the green run on the top of the gondola (the narrow one from above, lol) you can drop in for back country riding. This is not an official area and you go down at your own risk (duh!). Once you're in, you've got to hike out. There have been a few deaths here as well, the most notable being a couple that had become lost for 10 days (the wife had died). Tragic but avoidable situation had they been properly trained and prepared (too little food, no means of making a fire and failure to stay by their SOS signal). Out of Bounds death.Just be smart cause there is some sweet pow here...

New challenges face the health care system, the federal government and the American public now that elected representatives have completed action on historic health care legislation.
President Obama signed the main health care bill into law early last week; two days later Congress gave final approval to a "reconciliation" package of changes that had been previously negotiated by the White House and congressional leaders. Deep partisanship remained on display as Republicans delayed the final Senate vote with a flurry of procedural objections and amendments that had no hope of passage.
The reconciliation package included an overhaul of loan programs for college students. Like the health care reform legislation, the student-loan overhaul saved the government some money but then directed most of the savings into additional spending.
The new health plan promises to increase the number of Americans with health insurance by 32 million. As The Concord Coalition has repeatedly argued, however, such an expansion in coverage makes it even more critical for doctors, hospitals, patients, insurance companies and federal agencies to work together to curb rising medical costs.
Similarly, persistent tuition increases above the general inflation rate must be addressed. These increases are leaving young people with heavy debts and putting pressure on Washington to increase student aid programs. The new legislation, for example, will raise the maximum Pell grant to $5,900 over the next decade, up from $5,500 for the coming school year. Yet that will cover only a small portion of the expected tuition increases over that period.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the new health care plan, through tax increases and funding cuts, could cut federal deficits by a total of $124 billion over the next 10 years. While such deficit reduction would be welcome, that estimate assumes there will be no backsliding from some very ambitious Medicare cost savings. Moreover, more than half of the promised deficit reduction ($70 billion) comes from premiums dedicated to future benefit payments for a new long-term care entitlement (CLASS).
And even if all goes according to plan, $124 billion in deficit reduction is just a drop in the bucket compared to the trillions of dollars in addition debt that the United States is expected to rack up in the next decade. So the President and Congress must continue to search for more substantial deficit reduction. Furthermore, Washington must eventually pursue legislation in which deficit reduction is the primary goal.

|Well, The Absolute Sound liked the FX6021 speakers best out of 6 mass-market PC speaker systems they tested, and acoustically the PT6021 are the same. You don't easily come by a better 'second opinion' than that, in my book - The Absolute Sound is one of the foremost audiophile magazines in the country.
I've had the FX5051 for a while, Altec makes some nice speakers. Since I use them for gaming and MP3, I have never used with a TV.
Now in the living room I use the Kenwood 500 watt suround system for the computer and TV, going from the sound out to the AMP system. Pretty nice. But for gaming in living room I have a headset.
New Purchase
With regards the review of the Altec Lansing PT6021 speaker system. Keeping in mind I know diddly-squat about this stuff, and I am looking simply to give my Sony HDTV and DVD a better sound quslity, will this sytem do the job. The room is 11 x 14 with the TV built into the wall and there is ample room to place the subwoofer etc. The room is so designed that rear sat speakers would be difficult to place, so I like the idea of the 2.1 design. The review makes it sound excellent, but there is the PC factor you keep talking about which does not apply in my case. Should I be looking for something elese, or can this sytem do the job? Can anyone give a simple answer that I might understand?
|Rory Buszka
Addendum (more bonus content for the forum folks)
I had the opportunity to compare the PT6021 system to my Cambridge Soundworks MicroWorks II system, which I've owned since the summer of 2006. The CSW MicroWorks II offers a warmer overall sound, without the depressed midrange of the PT6021's InConcert satellite speakers, yet I don't feel that I'm missing much in the way of detail. The PT6021's sub has more of the really low stuff to offer than the Microworks sub (though both have 6.5" active drivers with ~40w of power) by virtue of the Altec sub's vented design, but both systems offer a very "honest", un-embellished bass output that would be preferred by music lovers such as myself. The MicroWorks system lacks both the fully-featured control pod with tone adjustments (though the volume control is detachable and contains a headphone jack) and the infrared remote capability. I think I prefer the beefy "cube" styling of the Cambridge Soundworks satellites (and the sound of the 3" wide-range drivers) to the tall, narrow shape of the PT6021 satellite speakers, though neither design is particularly unappealing, and I respect the fact that the PT6021 sats are designed to look good with flat screen displays. That said, the MicroWorks sound a little peaky through the midrange, and lack the treble extension of the PT6021 system, so they sound a bit 'flat'. I still think that my MicroWorks II system is probably one of the best values in the 2.1-channel category, though the Logitech Z-2300 would be preferred by those who want the beefiest (though somewhat 'boomy') bass they can get. I know a lot of you have a nose for value, and so those two systems (Z-2300 and MicroWorks II) are my recommendations for the best value in the 2.1 category, though they aren't nearly as feature-laden as the PT6021.
Actually the driver I spoke of is a 2.5" dome with .75" high roll surround (forgot that it was actually 4" not 3.5") and I'd have a dome tweeter that floats on the apex of the dome, hard to explain but it would feature a neodymium magnet that is attached to the mid's dome structure. I could do a drawing of it by hand but I'm sure you get the idea. The tweeter dome would be the 1/2" center of the mid's dome with a rubber ring suspending it and the motor would be attached to the dome.
Yes I know this adds mass to the mid but I'm thinking a full aluminum dome and the plastic motor structure of the tweeter would add damping to the dome of the mid and could be made pretty light. Besides, the magnet structure would have more than enough HP to overcome the mass.
|Rory Buszka
By phase alignment, I don't mean like the user-adjustable knob on today's powered subwoofers. I'm referring to the phase alignment between drivers in a full-range speaker, which is typically accomplished to some extent or not at all by today's passive crossover networks -- creating phase shift that slightly delays the tweeter's output so that wavefronts from the tweeter's acoustic center and the woofer's acoustic center reach your ears at exactly the same time. Usually, crossover designers try to place the crossover point at a frequency where the phase shift caused within the drivers themselves is about the same. Some speakers you'll see have their front baffle angled backward. This isn't done to direct the sound upward -- it's done to bring the acoustic centers of the tweeter and woofer in line. However, the high-order crossover slopes that would be possible with active circuitry would almost render phase-alignment a nonissue since frequency bands in which the tweeters and woofers overlap would be extremely small.
Addendum: I just noticed what you wrote about a coincident-source driver. Perhaps you're familiar with the work of Jim Thiel? He developed a 3" driver that integrates a 3" aluminum cone and a 1" aluminum dome on the same voice coil, with a compliant material between the voice coil edge and the cone itself creating a mechanical crossover between the two diaphragms. Below the mechanical crossover frequency, the two diaphragms move as one. But if Thiel decided to build computer speakers, I probably couldn't afford them. For us, it's probably better to look at high-quality wide range cone drivers, such as the Tang Band W3-593 and W3-871 (which are at Parts Express). I've used the W3-593, and found that it provided such excellent high frequency extension that a tweeter really wasn't needed.

Uhhh, yeah. I just wanted to beat Matt to 1000 posts. Not going to happen now. However, in this discussion, I am way out of my element.
"Donny, your out of element Donny!"
Personally, to me, the ultimate high end HTPC speaker system would be completely wireless with the frequency operating in a band that's extremely high (9.6ghz anyone) that would allow for operation with extremely good treble response and no problems with interference from other wireless devices such as phones, bluetooth devices and what have you. Also several channels with a master channel selector on the controller would be nice as that would allow all the channels to be changed at once. I don't like the whole phase and EQ on a per speaker basis though, the ultimate goal of a high fidelity speaker system is to be a straight wire with gain, nothing more, nothing less. If your speakers are so fracked that they need phase alignment and equalization to achieve that goal then it's time to scrap the design and start from ground zero with a clean sheet. The only things done to the speakers is crossing over the frequencies that they can't (or shouldn't) be reproducing. I don't even like 2nd order and 3rd order crossovers (not to mention 4th order) as they add phase issues to the speakers. I've built speakers that were crossed with 1st order networks (yep, just a cap and choke) that were some of the most pristine sounding speakers I've ever heard. I just put several hundred hours of thought into what were the proper points of rolloff at 6db per octave and did even more experimentation with the frequencies I used in applied usage.
I wish I had the facilities to build drivers as I'd like to make some single focal point drivers with the tweeters mounted inside the voice coil of the mid and experiment with inverted domes and such. I came up with a design for a 3.5" mid with a 2.5" voicecoil and close to 1.5" of throw a few years ago for sub/sat systems, I think that something along those lines with the ability to play cleanly bellow 80hz would be the answer for HTPC speakers especially with the axially mounted tweeters as there'd be one small enclosure with a single focal point of sound.

|It's painful to read through those posts. Simply because I do now know anything about audio. I know thats bad but I really don't know anything butthe basics.
|Rory Buszka
The Altec Lansing PT6021 system is particularly intriguing, because of its apparent orientation toward home theater use. With the popularity of the home theater or "media center" PC, I think this review provides a valuable chance to comment on the HTPC phenomenon and the role that PC speaker manufacturers could find themselves playing. I foresee a day when the home theater PC replaces the stereo or multichannel receiver as the "head" of the modern home theater system. In order for this revolution to take place, high-quality amplified speaker systems must be developed to supply the home theater enthusiast's demand for high-fidelity sound. In the world of home theater, powered speakers are a long way off from being the standard, though many current receivers already have preamp-level outputs (my H/K AVR335 included). The home theater market has been dragging its feet when it comes to powered speakers, but the rise of the HTPC provides what is, in my opinion, the perfect venue for the powered speaker revolution to take place, since most computers already depend on powered speakers. The HTPC-as-head-unit would integrate input signal switching, volume control, and CD/DVD playback into one unified audiophile-quality component.
Two things need to happen in order for this technology transition to take place. First of all, manufacturers like Altec Lansing who have already been producing powered speaker systems must develop new powered speaker products capable of delivering sound with extremely high fidelity and low distortion, patterned after the current crop of passive high-fidelity speakers or studio monitors in both style and functionality. This means high-quality drivers and substantial, elegant cabinets as well as powerful amplifier circuitry and intelligent processing. In order for the consumer to accept the new type of product, it must perform as well as or better than the competing product that uses the old technology. Luckily, powered loudspeakers do have something significant that they can offer in this area. Powered loudspeaker systems can integrate signal processing to impart ruler-flat frequency response and perfect phase alignment, among other things (like synthesized deep bass response). While some manufacturers have tried, the same active processing just can't be accomplished elegantly with a separate receiver/amplifier. One problem facing powered loudspeakers is the question of how to distribute power to each of the loudspeakers, since each loudspeaker would have its own amplifier. One answer is to produce complete loudspeaker systems, with the amplifiers for each channel housed in the subwoofer, as already done by nearly every powered loudspeaker system with ".1" in its classification. The other option is to use a multi-conductor cable which integrates power and signal wires. Given the benefits of powered loudspeaker technology, the engineering challenges are chump change.
The second thing that must happen is that home theater PC manufacturers must ensure that their products are capable of handling all the tasks that a receiver originally would. This will require the sound card manufacturers to get in on the action and offer hardware infrared volume and source selection control, as well as input from several external sources in addition to the PC itself. The sound card should provide visual output to a small external display, such as a two-line VFD. This second point, however, is not as critical as the first one – the market is now ripe for high-quality powered loudspeaker systems to take over the tasks typically performed by a big, hot receiver unit. Once these products are in place, the home theater PC can claim center stage in the modern home theater.

The InConcert driver arrays aren't true line arrays. If they were, all of the drivers in each satellite would reproduce the same frequency band. Instead, there's some frequency shading going on (with the outermost drivers only operating up to 1500 Hz and the second innermost set of drivers operating up to 6000 Hz). This means that only the two center drivers are reproducing treble. However, since the wavelengths involved are still very small at those frequencies, the two stacked treble sources do create self-interference at extreme vertical angles, creating pattern control in the vertical plane. Indeed, the spacing of the other two sets of drivers is intended to create the same vertical coverage pattern with decreasing frequency, creating a line source of increasing length as frequency decreases, maintaining the same narrow vertical coverage pattern from the treble range through the midrange. However, they do have wide coverage in the horizontal plane, owing to the narrow horizontal dimension of the line source. Still, you wouldn't place these speakers on their sides.
About me:
I'm currently a senior at Purdue University, and I've had a fascination with loudspeakers and audio since I was a child. I've designed and built my own loudspeaker projects for about the last eight years, and I've learned a lot in that time, which I'm glad to be able to apply to my review-writing. I also recently held a job at a company in Philadelphia which manufactured large-scale professional audio loudspeakers, such as you'd find in auditoriums and theaters.
That's odd, when did Plantronics enter the picture? Last I heard, Sparkomatic bought Altec and formed Altec Lansing Technologies...I've been out of the loop. I've also got to ask, with multiple drivers you run into the problems of wave cancellation which is why high-end home speakers tend to avoid multiple tweeters (it's not as big of a problem with lower frequencies such as the midrange and midbass). I'm just wondering if you noticed any sort of dropouts in the upper registers that could be found by moving your head? I've often wondered about that with speakers that use multiple tiny drivers...it could be that the upper registers are rolled off in certain drivers too so that is avoided.
Anyways, nice read, I hope to see more from you but how about a bit of dissection for the audio geeks among us?

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Slippy, Sep 24, 2006.
I went to game 3 of the finals that year. They lost that one by quite a bit if I recall.
:attention I can't believe only 3 people voted! That's so ! What's your excuse? Prof? Tay? Jammer? D4e? Hack? Low? Okay, here's a multiple choice survey. Choose one please. :suspiciou I suspect everyone and couldn't decide. I was drunk at the time. I forgot. I was losing my shirt in a poker game at the time. I was watching TV instead. I'm keeping a low profile in hopes of staying alive. I was eating dinner at the time. I was watching God give the New Orleans Saints a win. I'm a wreck thinking about the next murder. I'm way bored. I'm utterly confused as to who to hang. I'm in jail. I'm still trying to figure it out. I'm planning my next murder. Well, I hope we got the right suspect this time.
Que up the 'Animal House' bit when Delta faced off against the fraternity counsel and Dean Wormer. Otter: Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules or took a few liberties with our female party guests -- we did. But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the actions of a few sick, perverted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you ... isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do what you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America!
I was at that game lurker.
Sorry about not voting guys, my internet has been down for a couple of hours.
No problem Jammer. Give that company hell if they aren't doing their job!
I see the lawyer and the daughter of a lawyer have used their sleuthing skills and voting power to send another to the gallows. Hopefully, THIS TIME, they got it right.
none of the above aurora. i was partying at blockbuster to mourn :Cry: the last day of my favorite employee, we ordered marcos and me and eva sat behind the counter and partied.
lmao. Darth says to Kim: "Kim...I am your father"
that arrow seems to be very indecisive. first me, then my dad, then my [STRIKE]dinner[/STRIKE] friend
He had to be guilty. His name was "HACK" for Petes sake. How can you have a name like HACK and not be a killer? Must have been Lurker and Hack all along.
Crickets gathered around the Linwood Memorial Coal Burning oven and the angry cry of the mob had given way to the sonorous echo of weeds. Hack's punishment would go unwitnessed.
Six out of nine did not vote. It's certainly not my and Darth's fault that so few voted. Why does active genuine participation deserve your disdain Linwood? Maybe you were innocent so you are bitter. Maybe you were guilty so you are bitter. Whatever. WHATEVER. I think it's more than likely impossible to find the murderer(s). We can only try.The game requires us to vote 24 hours after a murder. So we voted. Maybe we got the killer, maybe we didn't. Believe me, I am more than cognizant of the possible miscarriages of justice as a result of the clueword evidence. But it's that or just hanging for the sake of hanging, which I believe was your approach before you were hanged. I leave it to you to judge which approach has the most integrity, right or wrong. So there. No hard feelings though.
Unwitnessed?! HELL NO!!! HEY!!! WHO'S GOT THE BARBEQUE SAUCE?
the undead, apparently.
Nice...tres poetic Commish!
I must admit he writes impressively well. Particularly for a guy who chose Emeka Okafor as his number one pick in last years fantasy draft.
I think that integrity holds less weight than results. So far, there have been lots of evidence presented, and lots of hanging and toasting, but as far as I can tell, both murderers are still on the loose. It appears that the analytical crowd has killed as many innocent people as the two murderers. No hard feelings, though. Heaven's a nice place, and the BBQ can't be beat!
Well Linwood I can't argue with you there. My gut feeling is that unbelievably both murderers could very well still be out there. However, that means that the impassioned lynch mob did just as poor a job as the detectives. Honestly, I don't know that any of the evidence I presented were definitely murder posts. In that sea of basketball cluewords on a basketball forum, HELLO?.... Maybe it's a matter of taste. Would you rather be killed in a recreational gang drive-by or be wrongfully accused and dispatched with a lethal injection? Grim choice. I'm glad your paperwork went through, you're in good company and especially that the BarBQ is good up there. Tell me, can you see EVERYTHING ON EARTH from Heaven. Could you guys give a daily report on Pistons training camp when it starts?:fingerscr
OK, Linwood. I'll try it your way. If you can't trust a zombie who can you trust? Next round in the current game (if there is one) or first round in the next game (if there is one) I plan to ignore all evidence and just go for whomever I feel like hanging. (Assuming I'm not murdered, of course). We'll see what happens.

Floyd: I was born a winner, I'm gonna die a winner
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Photos: Alma Montiel
In front of thousands at Sunday's press conference in Mexico City, boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather was asked if he was afraid of losing to Saul Canelo Alvarez.
"I'm not afraid of nuthin'," said Mayweather. "Floyd Mayweather will win September 14th. I'm not worried about nuthin'. I'm not nervous. I can fight. If I can't do nuthin' else, I can fight. I'm the champ. Pound-for-Pound I'm the best and September 14th you'll see….Right now I just can't be beat. Maybe 20 years from now, but not right now. It's just another day for me, September 14th. I never had no worries."
Canelo stated, "There are a lot of people who don't think I'm going to win, but on September 14, you'll see that I will win. I've always wanted to be the best in the sport and I'm on my way. I couldn't let this opportunity go by and I will take advantage of it on September 14. I'm always training. I never stop. To win we have to prepare well and not ignore the little things."

Wojciech Szczesny believes Arsenal can take great heart from a fine defensive performance in Dortmund.
The Gunners looked to be heading for victory in Germany after Robin van Persie's first-half strike but were dealt a cruel blow in the 88th minute when Ivan Perisic equalised with a stunning volley.
Szczesny says the draw was ultimately a fair result for both sides and hailed the back four in front of him for a strong showing at the BVB Stadion.
The Polish goalkeeper spoke to Arsenal Player after Tuesday night's 1-1 draw with Dortmund, and you can watch the video clip now by clicking on the link to the right.

Wojciech, are you happy with the point?
After a goal like that I think we will take the draw. Usually when you concede in the 88th minute you are gutted, but credit to Dortmund, I think they played really well in the second half and probably deserved a goal.
Did you think the team would see it out?
I did. Over 90 minutes I thought we defended really, really well. Even the free-kick they scored from I thought we defended good, but the guy put it in the top corner and he'll probably never do that again. I thought we were going to see it through, but in the end we were happy with a point.
How much of a testament do you pay to the defence in front of you?
I said to the guys after the game, 'listen, we defended fantastic', and if you're going to concede that is the way you want to do it. It was a deserved draw for both sides.
What will this result do for confidence?
We gained a point in Dortmund in one of the toughest fixtures, which will give us a confidence boost. Hopefully we can go to Blackburn and get the three points.
Would you say Arsenal have turned a corner after the last two results?
I think we have showed a lot of people what we are made of. We showed that we can play very well and defend very well which we did today, and we have more confidence.
Was this more like the real Arsenal?
It's unlike Arsenal I think, it was more a defensive performance from us to be honest. We deserved at least a point, and we were happy with the performance.
Was it a freak goal that beat you, or simply one of quality?
You can't say it's a freak, it's an unbelievable strike. He connected cleanly, but I believe he won't do that again for a long time.
Presumably with the way you defended, Arsenal will take quite a lot from this game?
Of course, i think they only had one chance in the first half, and we were playing against a very offensive side. To give away just that chance and then concede the way we did I feel we should be happy with our defensive performance.
The goal you scored before half time, it was a great time to get it wasn't it?
It was, it gave us a lot of confidence going into half time. We believed we could see the game out - we didn't but we'll take the point.
What was the atmosphere like from a player's point of view?
It was one of the best I've ever experienced in my career, but this is the kind of game you like to play in. It is a great venue, great atmosphere and a game between two good sides. That's what you play football for.
