BEA lifts the whole area massively and they've also done a good job of the square in front of Manchester one - much more of a big city feel.

Yeah both look like big improvements. I've been out the country for a while so this is the first I've seen of the BEA development. Looks good, cheers for the update Neil

You're very welcome. The BEA development seems to have been very low profile. Not even sure if they're occupying the full building. Still, it really does seem to expand Chinatown.

Its a large glass add-on to a non-descript, low profile building. It has no impact at all unless you stand outside it. |

Bruntwood to create city-centre roof garden
Sunshine may be in short supply in Manchester but commercial property giant Bruntwood is planning for better weather with a scheme to create a landscaped roof garden at Blackfriars House in the city centre. The family-owned firm has commissioned architects Roger Stevenson to finalise designs for the roof garden at the building in The Parsonage. It is expected to be completed by the summer and will feature lawned breakout zones, decking and more than 30 trees. Recycled materials including artificial bark chippings made from shredded tyres will be used in the landscaping. Bruntwood said the garden is intended to be an area where office workers can hold informal meetings or relax during screen breaks and lunchtimes. It could also be used for events. Tenants at Blackfriars House include the Manchester International Festival team, patent and trademark attorneys Wilson Gunn, Radford Advertising, accountants White and Company and media business 3 Door Digital. http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereven...re-roof-garden |

Manchester will have strongest regional growth, says CBRE
8th January 2013 MANCHESTER'S city centre jobs market is set to grow at a faster pace than many other regional cities according to new data from property agent CBRE. Manchester should see office-based employment grow by 2.2% between 2013-17, compared with 1.5% in Liverpool. This prediction is on a par with Leeds, but ahead of Glasgow, Bristol, Edinburgh and Birmingham. But this will drive city centre rents which are expected to grow by 2.5% in 2013 and 1.6% in each year thereafter. In Liverpool there will be no growth this year, says CBRE. In 2014 rents will rise by 1.3% and 1.2% thereafter. John Ogden, pictured, managing director of CBRE North West, said: "This report demonstrates that Manchester is not only continuing to thrive during these challenging economic times but that it is actually outperforming all the other regions within the UK outside of London. "As the only region to record prime office rental growth in 2012 – and every year since the downturn – the projected increase in pre-lets from 2013 should provide the catalyst for Grade A rental levels to reach a headline of £32.75 by 2017."

On second thoughts I'd like it to go to NOMA if it happens?

Hmm, will it join RBS in Spinningfields, The Co-Operative in Noma, or go alone on First Street?
Place your bets!

Don't think First Street is the right place for it TBH.
Spinningfields, Noma, or St Peter's Square. Plenty of office blocks proposed with planning permission in and around St Peter's Square. Last edited by jrb; January 8th, 2013 at 06:01 PM. |

On the other hand, the office block at i+Spinningfields was due to start around this time - fallen silent now though. Could that be what Barclays are looking for? AND ANOTHER THING; construction at First St is due to start this month. Lets not forget that 24 months is a long, long time. It's 2 years from now. First St is due to complete in the Summer of 2014. On that basis, I'm almost certain that Allied could begin and complete construction on Number 1 Spinningfields in that time frame |

It also lists a series of Client Green Project Objectives, as follows:
"The exciting transformation of Client Green's approach to accommodation of personnel around the world, driving higher productivity and driving significant bottom line benefits "Cost certainty to be guaranteed over the term of the arrangement QUOTE <<"Up to 10 year commitment for the new space, with rights for expansion and contraction as required "Clean and pre-defined exit options for Client Green "New build to be completed within 24 months "Through a structured engagement against an agreed time frame, Client Green wishes to be fully involved in the design and construction process of the new space, fit-out and furniture selection "Final building fabric and services are to meet appropriate western standards for office space and ensure full operational availability 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days per annum">> QUOTE For this reason alone, it has 1SP Sq written all over it. People under-estimate how long it takes to get something out of the ground. The construction part is the relatively easy bit sometimes. Mind you it depends when they start counting the 24 months. From now - only one contender. From signatures - there may be a limited few more. I would eat my hat if Barclays go to First Street though. Last edited by Lookin Up; January 8th, 2013 at 06:41 PM.

Didn't Barclays have a load of space in Spinningfields ages ago? Despite never taking it up they had to pay a load of money to get out of the contract.
Banking shares are on the rise, the worst is over for the banks it seems, as they return to profit I expect to see much more of this type of news for Manchester. P.S. Fast, reliable connections to the HQ in London is absolutely critical for these, well paid, jobs to continue to be in the region, hence why we need to ensure we don't have capacity problems on the WCML in the future. |

However one final point - we keep hearing about big companies want to open large offices here but we also hear about the lack of Grade A office space to entice those companies who think about moving. |

Ask seem to be reorienting First Street away from that kind of market anyway, which makes sense given it's location.
Flexibility from 1000-4000 seems a lot of variation. How many square footage would you need for 4000 jobs? Surely you couldn't fit that many people in 1 SPSQ? |

I don't know about anyone else, and I'm not sure how the Ceph have changed in between the first Crysis and Crysis 2, but I hope in the third Crysis they mix both the Alien types from the first and second to give more variety. I heard that they're both different types of race of Ceph, or worse, the Ceph have simply adapted. I hope they're a different race of Ceph, that would make it a lot better in the sequel. I want to fight the Hunters again. Does anyone else care?

As we look back at the real estate sector in 2013, the operative word was "millennial". When you look at the signature office developments in gateway cities across the country there are certain defining features of premium class-A office today – riverfronts, co-working spaces, 24-hour locations, bicycle stations and rooftops. Even the office floors look different with glass front offices, lounges, media rooms and a lot more natural light because of smaller core-to-window ...

The Vocational Training Centre at Siriba made a good start in 2009/10. There was a strong beginning with seven tutors and twenty five students each in carpentry and tailoring. However in late 2010 the unit ran into to difficulties over tutors pay and had to temporarily close.
The VTC has now restarted under the leadership of a new Director/Head Teacher.
One new tutor for carpentry and one for tailoring have now been appointed and students are now beginning to sign on again for courses. Hands Around The World has also been able to obtain some funds for 2011/12 to put the VTC on a sound financial footing This will help until the VTC itself can find effective ways of being self-funding. The new Director has been in touch with local officials of the Ugandan Government's Department of Education and Sports to get the unit registered and approved. If and when this happens the VTC will, hopefully, be able to secure at least some funds from that source.
Fortunately HATW has also now been given funds to drill the much-needed borehole, for which we are most grateful.

I open the window on my blog dashboard to type in my words and sometimes the words fail me. They seem tiny, insignificant in a world of revered proficiency and untold chaos. I've opened and closed this window several times in the past few days, and weeks, and months. Sometimes, the exhaustion takes over, sometimes there is no inspiration, but many a time it is a feeling that these words don't matter. I'm not changing the world, or shaping a life. How does it matter? And I'm sure that there are others out there who have the same feeling. I'm not talking of just bloggers, I'm talking about people – the fear of being insignificant, it grips us all at one time or the other.
This post was not supposed to turn out this way, but sometimes when you're alone during the holidays, the cheer can seem a bit forced. It's possible to feel lonely in a crowd. If you're out there, that one solitary person hanging back from the party, the one with the bruised heart and broken smile, assailed with doubts or fear, looking for someone to be genuinely kind without a reason, I don't know if my words will find their way to you, they probably won't, but know that you matter. You matter because you are who you are, and you do what you do, and nobody else out there is quite like you.
No man is an island, and it is our connections to the ones we love that bring us hope and comfort. But also have the strength to have faith in yourself. Find the hope and comfort in who you are, and what you do. And this holiday season, take the time out from all the holiday entertaining and shopping and gifting, not to change the world, but to really look. And listen. Are you missing the things around you? A kind gesture, a child's glee, a lonely smile?
Be kind. To others, but also to yourself. Find the pleasure in the simple things.
Like coming home to a mysterious package that turns out to be a surprise gift of books from my cousin. Or finding out that I'm an aunt, and there is now one more person in the world who is irrevocably linked to me and who I have never seen but already love. Or opening the kitchen door to the lingering aroma of chocolate and taking pride in knowing that this is something I created with my own hands. Today, I did not change the world. But I made chocolate cake. And made the people who I shared it with smile. And sometimes that is enough.
Happy Holidays!
Raspberry-Laced Chocolate Cake
This cake is really moist and delicate and enough to satisfy a chocolate craving without any glaze or icing. But the true genius of this recipe from Alice Medrich is that the raspberry is laced through the cake, the puree mixed in the batter itself. The balance between the two flavors is perfect, without one overpowering the other. Serve with creme fraiche and fresh raspberries for a dainty plate or enjoy a slice plain with your coffee and favorite book for the ultimate simple pleasure in holiday comfort.
Recipe adapted from Bittersweet by Alice Medrich
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup seedless raspberry puree, at room temperature (from frozen unsweetened or fresh raspberries)
3 tablespoons rum
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, at room temperature
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 6-cup tube pan (alternatively, you can use 2 loaf pans, or a muffin tin with paper liners).
2. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda and set aside.
3. Combine the raspberry puree, rum and vanilla extract in a small bowl and set aside.
4. Break the eggs in another small bowl and mix together just until the whites and yolks are combined.
5. In a medium bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until it is creamy. Add the sugar in a steady stream, and continue beating, at medium speed with a heavy-duty mixer or at high speed with a hand-held mixer until light and fluffy, 4-5 minutes.
6. Add the eggs gradually in a slow stream and continue beating for 2-3 minutes.
7. Stop the mixer and add one-third of the flour mixture beating at low speed only until the flour is incorporated. Follow with half the raspberry mixture again beating only until it is incorporated. Continue with half the remaining flour, followed by all the remaining raspberry puree and ending with the remaining flour. Each time, beat at low speed only until incorporated.
8. Scrape the batter into your preferred pan, and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry, 40-45 minutes for the tube pan, 30-35 minutes for the loaf pans, 20 minutes for the muffin tin.
9. Let the cake cool on a rack for 10 minutes.
10. The cake can be wrapped well and kept at room-temperature for 4-5 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Serve with creme fraiche and fresh raspberries if desired. You can also sift icing sugar with a fine-mesh sieve over the cake before serving.

PPM meters?
post #91 of 152
3/25/08 at 7:53am
You say "most", is there any advantage to transferring vinyl above redbook standards?
Tarkovsky - Be careful of how you record because digital clipping is absolute and easy to do as RMS meters don't show transients which can easily be lost in the process
Now if you take a wave, make it a vinyl, make it PCM, then make it an mp3 or the like you get all these SQ problems. And it'll sound like cack.
I did some tests capturing direct to disks to a 24 bit ProTools workstation. By the time I bumped it down to redbook and burned it onto a CD, it sounded exactly the same as the capture through my normal setup. The only difference was filesize and the slowdown in handling in Peak.
LPs don't contain a wide enough dynamic range to benefit from high bitrates. Most LPs fall under 45 or 50 dB and the ones that do get up that high start losing detail to the noise floor long before the low level resolution advantage of 24 bit cuts in. |
Really obvious things like the quality of your cartridge and how well isolated your deck is from acoustic feedback will have a massive influence.
I think it's worth emphasisng in the light of the OP that you will get different recordings of the same lp from different turntable set-ups and that the better your turntable the better your recordings.
Well that's suprising because the CDs will have very different levels of jitter. Of course you may have a nice dac that handles jitter well...
You have outlined the audible limitations of vinyl as a medium and I have done my best to explain the audible limitations of red book. Running between these two we end up with the worst of both worlds.
When I make a vinyl transcription to my recorder at 24-96, I just monitor via the headphone out of the recorder and don't use speakers at all.
Less than 100th the level of audible jitter? Really? Not to accuse you of lieing but that's totally out of whack with everything I've read, that is of course unless I've miss read my sources. Where did you read/hear/extrapolate this?
Frequencies below 20Hz are usually not able to be reproduced, and with the exception of synthesisers and pipe organs, are not a wanted part of the audio spectrum. This is especially troublesome with phono systems, since many of the vinyl discs you treasure (or wish to transcribe to CD) will be warped to some degree. Any warp in a vinyl disc will cause large outputs in the subsonic region, typically well below 20Hz. For example, a 33 1/3 RPM album with a single warped section will create a signal in the pickup at 0.55 Hz (33.3 RPM / 60 = 0.555 Hz). This is a signal that will cause significant cone movement, but is undesirable in the extreme. Not only will vented subs be completely unable to handle such a signal linearly, but sealed subs will also be stressed. Large amounts of available power will be wasted trying to reproduce a signal that was never intended to be there in the first place. |
Yep. If I'm not mistaken, a sound wave at 20Hz is about 120 feet (as opposed to a 10kHz sound wave which is about 2 or 3 feet). And to hear a non-reflected 20Hz sound wave you need a listening room that has 120 feet between the drivers and your ears.
I still have about 100 LPs, which I never play, but if I were to transcribe them I would not bother going above 16/44.1.
I am skeptical about the value of doing high res transfers on a medium that is so technically compromised (no offense to LP, but it is what it is and no 5000 quid TT will change that) First 16/44.1 already has superior noise, dynamic range and distortion levels than LP so it isn't a limiting factor in terms of a transfer. Second , so far as I know , nobody in anything even remotely resembling a carefully proctored test has been able to tell the difference between high res recordings and downsampled high res recordings. When you consider that so many people cannot tell Mp3 from wav it is hardly surprising. Third 16/44.1 A/D/A chains have been shown to be undetectable in playback as far back as 1988 when the Boston Audio Society showed Ivor (I will never make a CD player) Tiefenbrun that he could not detect the presence of a Sony PCM-F1 (nominally 16 bit) inserted into the chain. Fourth CD-R recordings of LP vs LP tests have been done - no difference found. Fifth the sheer space requirements of uncompressed 24/96 or 24/192 for dubious payoff. 3.26x the space for 24/96 or 6.53x for 24/192 It just doesnt seem worth the effort... |
There are noticeable differences between 16-bit/24-bit/32-bit and 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96kHz 'resolutions'. Last nite I recorded using only 24-bit resolution @ 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96kHz and the clearly best quality came from 96kHz even I encoded the data to WMA 24-bit/<samplerate>/440kbps ... file sizes are equal (~18MB each) so, the data "loss", because of compression, is over twice for 96kHz data compared to 44.1kHz ... and still the 24/96 sounds clearer/more detailed than the others.

Tips To Make Homemade Fruit Snacks
Whenever you feel hungry or desire to munch something – it's best to have homemade fruit snacks. These are healthy and have no extra calories which can be harmful for your body. Moreover, you can prepare them at home, whenever you feel like and serve to your friends Here are some quick and easy tips to prepare them.
Fruit snacks preparation ways:
- If you are preparing these at home you need to make them in different varieties and with a number of fruits. Choose different types of dried fruits and nuts in the snack. You can use dried peanuts, strawberries and almonds for additional taste.
- There is no fixed recipe for preparing homemade fruit snacks – you can prepare them as per your creativity and innovation. One great innovative and healthy idea can be to use three fruits such as orange, grape and lemon and stack them one by one in a skewer. Sprinkle some fruit salt and serve it to your kids as soon as they return home from school.
- Fruit snacks taste delicious when served with dips. As a part of your fruit snack making process, you should also prepare a dip with cream and yogurt. Fruits can be dipped and served to kids.
Lime juice:
- Once you have combined the different cut fruit pieces in a bowl you can squeeze lemon juice for added taste. Lemon juice adds a tangy taste to the fruits and keeps the fruits fresh.
Serve fruit snacks as and when you wish to your family and friends – nothing can be as healthy and tasty.

Autodarkening welding helmets have three arc sensors
Miller Electric Mfg. Co. has introduced two designs to its Performance Series™ line of autodarkening welding helmets.
The Motorsports™ helmet features a competition yellow background with red and green tearaways and checkered-flag graphics on all sides. Fire Storm™, which replaces Red Flame and Black Flame, unites the graphic themes of both helmets with yellow and red flames along the front, sides, and top of a black background.
The new helmets have three arc sensors, a quick-release front cover lens holder with a rubber spatter gasket, and lens controls located at the bottom of the lens.
The helmets also include auto-on and grind mode features. Auto-on eliminates accidental arc flash by automatically detecting the arc. Grind Mode allows use of the helmet as a protective shield by preventing lens darkening while grinding.

This report describes the typical weather at the Gold Coast Airport (Coolangatta, Australia) weather station over the course of an average March. It is based on the historical records from 2004 to 2012. Earlier records are either unavailable or unreliable.
Coolangatta has a warm humid temperate climate with hot summers and no dry season. The area within 25 mi of this station is covered by oceans and seas (50%), forests (43%), and grasslands (6%).
The month of March is characterized by gradually falling daily high temperatures, with daily highs around 80°F throughout the month, exceeding 85°F or dropping below 76°F only one day in ten.
Over the course of March, the length of the day is gradually decreasing. From the start to the end of the month, the length of the day decreases by 51 minutes, implying an average day-over-day decrease of 1.6 minutes.
The shortest day of the month is March 31 with 11:49 hours of daylight; the longest day is March 1 with 12:40 hours of daylight.
The earliest sunrise is at 6:38am on March 1; the latest sunset is at 7:18pm on March 1; the latest sunrise is at 6:55am on March 31; the earliest sunset is at 6:44pm on March 31.
Daylight savings time is observed in 2012 but it neither starts nor ends in March, so the entire month is in daylight time.
The median cloud cover is 77% (partly cloudy) and does not vary substantially over the course of the month.
On March 16, a representative day, the sky is clear or mostly clear 0% of the time, partly cloudy 28% of the time, and mostly cloudy or overcast 35% of the time.
There is either very little precipitation at this location in March, or the weather station does not reliably report the conditions.
Either snow is exceptionally unlikely to fall at this location in March or this station does not reliably report precipitation types.
The relative humidity typically ranges from 56% (mildly humid) to 92% (very humid) over the course of a typical March, rarely dropping below 46% (comfortable), or exceeding 95% (very humid).
The air is driest around March 31, at which time the relative humidity drops below 61% (mildly humid) three days out of four; it is most humid around March 12, rising above 90% (very humid) three days out of four.
Dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find the weather than relative humidity because it more directly relates to whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid.
Over the course of a typical March, the dew point typically varies from 59°F (comfortable) to 69°F (muggy) and is rarely below 55°F (very comfortable) or above 72°F (very muggy).
Over the course of March typical wind speeds vary from 2 mph to 16 mph (light air to moderate breeze), rarely exceeding 21 mph (fresh breeze).
The highest average wind speed of 10 mph (gentle breeze) occurs around March 2, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 16 mph (moderate breeze).
The lowest average wind speed of 9 mph (gentle breeze) occurs around March 24, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 15 mph (moderate breeze).

LG Infinia LCD HDTV :
Infinia, an innovative new family of LED LCD HDTVs from LG Electronics that delivers "freedom through infinite possibilities," highlights the company's 2010 lineup of LED LCD HDTVs introduced at the International Consumer Electronics Show. LG Infinia HDTVs (the LE9500, LE8500 and LE7500 series) combine a slim design and thin bezel with enhanced connectivity and abundant content options. Leading the way to the ultimate home entertainment experience, the 55- and 47-inch class LG LE9500 sets will be LG's first 3D-ready models available in the United States. Infinia is the flagship of LG's 41-model LED LCD HDTV line - six new series of LED LCD HDTVs and five new series of LCD HDTVs.
LG HDTV series with LED LCD
"We're removing barriers to entertainment with very slim LED LCD TVs that couple wireless connectivity with the most access to online content," said Peter Reiner, senior vice president, marketing, LG Electronics USA. "With seamless connectivity and limitless content, LG Infinia is resetting the standards for design and entertainment as LED LCD TVs are expected to grow to more than 20 percent of the market this year. Consumers will no longer have to compromise on picture quality in order to enjoy an ultra-slim design. Together this new Full LED Slim technology and our wireless connectivity options allow consumers to 'live borderless' with the ultimate in content access and convenient installation.
Ultraslim LG Infinia LED HDTV
Leading these introductions are two new LED technologies - Full LED Slim and LED Plus - that provide cutting-edge picture quality. The unique backlight structure on its Full LED Slim models (LE9500 and LE8500) allows for the Infinia line's ultra-slim depth without sacrificing picture quality. Together, these features provide consumers with infinite possibilities in home entertainment. LG's new Full LED Slim technology elevates picture quality with a slim LED structure that supports detailed local dimming of up to 240 addressable segments (on the 55-inch class LG LE9500), resulting in an HDTV that provides the deeper black levels and uniform picture quality which typically could not be achieved on an ultra-thin set. The LG LE9500 series cabinet depth is only .92 inches with a bezel width of only 8.5mm. LG's LED Plus technology (available on the LG LE7500 and LG LE5500 series), also improves picture quality and energy efficiency by adding a basic local dimming capability of up to 16 addressable segments. The LE9500, LG LE8500 and LG LE7500 were all recognized with CES 2010 Innovations Awards, including the "Best of Innovations" distinction in the Online Audio/Video Content category for the LE9500.
LG HDTV series offers superior picture quality
Broadening consumer entertainment options, LG's latest series of HDTVs affords consumers superior picture quality, advanced energy saving options and flexible access to content-on-demand. LG's LED LCD HDTVs challenge consumers' current perceptions of home entertainment by illustrating what's possible with superior display technology. LG's Full LED Slim series (models LE9500 and LE8500) for example, join an elite group of LED LCD HDTVs that have achieved THX Display Certification - the industry standard for having the correct gamma, luminance, and color temperature. This certification demonstrates that select series of LG HDTVs can recreate the cinema experience at home, making the picture resemble movie theatre quality. To date, LG is the only manufacturer who has attained this designation for LCD TV in the U.S. market. LG is also the first manufacturer to include the "THX Bright Room" setting on its LED LCD HDTVs. This new feature to the THX certification program optimizes the contrast, gamma and other settings for watching movies in rooms with a lot of ambient light.
LG HDTVs feature Full LED Slim technology
LG's exclusive Full LED Slim technology includes detailed local dimming capability, but also enables the LG LE9500 and LG LE8500 to achieve a slim depth usually limited to conventional edge-lit models. This unique technology makes it possible for these two models to achieve the picture quality worthy of THX Display Certification and helps minimize the front bezel of the TV. This works with the single, edge-to-edge panel of glass to create a design, perfect for any home environment. Boasting a thin bezel of only 8.5mm, the LG LE9500 brings advanced technology into the home without being obtrusive. Available in 55-and 47-inch class sizes, this series also incorporates TruMotion 480Hz for reduced motion blur during fast moving action sequences.
Entertainment on the LG Infinia HDTV series
LG's full line of LED LCD HDTVs - series LG LE9500, LG LE8500, LG LE7500, LG LE5500 and LG LE5400 (in screen sizes 32-inch class and above) - boast a connectivity package with a variety of entertainment options, including NetCast Entertainment Access. With NetCast, consumers can access the following content sites for an almost endless array of entertainment options:
• Skype: Newly added in 2010, this allows consumers to make free video and voice calls over the Internet to family members and friends (separate camera and other equipment needed).
• Netflix: Updated with Netflix 2.0, consumers can stream thousands of movies without a PC.
• VUDU: Allows consumers to instantly buy or rent from an extensive library of movies and TV titles, including a catalog of more than 3,000 high-definition movies - no monthly fees.
• YouTube: Offers the ability to instantly stream millions of Web videos directly from the Internet (without a personal computer).
• Napster: Now Napster subscribers can enjoy unlimited on-demand streaming music from millions of songs on their NetCast TV.
• Yahoo! Widgets: Enables access to various applications called TV Widgets that allow viewers to interact with popular Internet services and online media through applications specifically tailored to the needs of the watcher, such as up-to-the minute Yahoo! News, Weather and Finance, and new widgets, including CBS, Showtime and CNBC.
DLNA-certificed LG HDTV series
LG also has incorporated the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) technology across the full line of LED models. DLNA allows consumers to access content stored on other DLNA-certified devices within the home, such as computers, making content options almost limitless. Providing easy options for connecting to the Internet, in addition to the wired Ethernet jack, all NetCast-enabled sets can integrate into a wireless home network by using a USB wireless broadband adaptor (sold separately). All models with NetCast also support multi-media playback from a connected USB device including photos (JPEG), music (MP3) and video (DivX HD). For greater convenience and flexibility in setup and installation, all HDTV series with NetCast also offer wireless Full HD 1080p wireless transmission from a "Wireless Media Hub" from up to 98 feet. Connecting source components, such as Blu-ray players, cable or satellite boxes and video games to the media hub enables transmission to a compact receiver adaptor, which attaches to the back of the TV, hidden from view. This eliminates the need for individual components to be connected directly to the TV, making for a clean and easy installation and removal of the unsightly wires (Media Hub and receiver adaptor sold separately as a package).
Energy-saving features on the LG LCD HDTV
LG's LE9500 incorporates a unique "Magic Wand" remote system that provides an immersive interaction with the set. This "Magic" user interface brings together menus, component controls and even embedded games, which can be accessed using a simple remote that combines minimal buttons and gestures to control the on-screen activity, mirroring a "Wii-like" experience. Understanding consumers' desire for products that reduce their household energy costs, most of LG's LED and CCFL HDTVs have a variety of energy-saving features, such as Intelligent Sensor, to automatically calibrate and optimize brightness, contrast, white balance and color, based on the ambient light in the room, saving on energy output under most circumstances. Additionally, ISFccc calibration options allow consumers to work with a professional to set "day" and "night" levels for optimal viewing and brightness levels. All of LG's 2010 LED LCD series also qualify for ENERGY STAR 4.0 certification.

LG HDTV flat panel technologies
With class sizes ranging from 19- to 60-inches, LG's LCD HDTV models provide a variety of flat panel options for any room in the home - most built with LG's four core technologies:
• Picture Wizard: Provides consumers with an easy-to-use seven-step calibration process that allows them to change picture settings without hiring an expert.
• Intelligent Sensor: Automatically calibrates and optimizes brightness, contrast, white balance and color, based on the brightness and color temperature of lighting in the room - thereby saving on energy output in most circumstances. (Excluding LD350 and LD450 series and the 19, 22, 26-inch class LE5300 models)
• Clear Voice II: An enhancement to Clear Voice, this feature customizes volume settings by 12 distinct voice zoom levels without diminishing other surrounding sounds, helping ensure consumers don't miss a single line of dialogue during action sequences.

Title | Holoplanktonic Mollusca (Gastropoda: Pterotracheoidea, Janthinoidea, Thecosomata and Gymnosomata) from the Pliocene of Pangasinan (Luzon, Philippines) |

Abstract | Fifteen samples taken from interbedded sandstone, siltstone and claystone of Pliocene age, underlying the Bolinao Limestone, at the localities Anda, Roxas and Tiep (Pangasinan, Luzon, Philippines), were analysed for holoplanktonic gastropods; they have yielded 50 species (16 Heteropoda, one Janthinidae, and 33 Pteropoda, the latter consisting of 30 Euthecosomata, two Pseudothecosomata and one Gymnosomata). Faunal diversity between the localities sampled is restricted and explained by differences in sample size and/or preservation. The time interval represented by all samples taken together is postulated to have been brief. Fifteen new taxa (= 30% of the total number of encountered holoplanktonic molluscan species) are erected; Atlanta lingayanensis sp. nov., A. richteri sp. nov., A. seapyi sp. nov., Heliconoides sondaari sp. nov., Striolimacina andaensis sp. nov., Hyalocylis marginata sp. nov., Cavolinia baniensis sp. nov., C. perparvula sp. nov., C. shibatai sp. nov., Diacavolinia pristina sp. nov., Diacria italica Grecchi, 1982 f. fissicostata f. nov., D. microstriata sp. nov., D. paeninsula sp. nov., D. philippinensis sp. nov. and Sphaerocina convolvula sp. nov. Calibration with vertical ranges of holoplanktonic molluscan species as now known enables an age assignment for the Pangasinan assemblages of Pliocene (Piacenzian). A number of species, in particular Atlantidae (Heteropoda), were so far known only from Quaternary or extant assemblages. Comparisons with published data for Japan allow the conclusion that the Philippine assemblages are coeval with the Takanabe Member (Miyazaki Group) in Miyazaki Prefecture (southwest Japan), a unit which incidentally has yielded far fewer species. The absence of bathypelagic holoplanktonics, as well as littoral benthic species indicate an epi- to upper mesopelagic setting, with depth ranges extending to a maximal depth of c. 200 to 300 m. |

Brabus Smart Fortwo Ultimate 101
From Brabus press: BRABUS now offers the sportiest subcompact ever. Starting immediately BRABUS will take orders for the special model with exclusive BRABUS equipment and 101 hp / 74 kW of power.
The three-cylinder turbocharged engine has proven its mettle already in the large BRABUS Roadster. In the BRABUS ULTIMATE 101 it also delivers a powerful 101 hp / 74 kW at 5,250 rpm. Its peak torque of 130 Nm is available on a wide plateau from 2,500 to 5,300 rpm. The sprint from 0 - 100 km/h takes just 11.2 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 160 km/h.
In everydriving situations the 101-hp / 74-kW BRABUS engine delivers sporty acceleration as well as strong pulling power from low engine speeds.
The six speeds of the BRABUS ULTIMATE 101's sequential gearbox are shifted with steering-wheel paddles just like in Formula 1 racing. The steering wheel offers optimal grip and measures just 34 centimeters across. The conventional shift lever between the seats remains fully functional.
The BRABUS ULTIMATE 101 is available exclusively in bright 'Racing Red' and comes with an especially exclusive equipment list: In addition to an air conditioning system, radio and navigation system the car comes with numerous exclusive BRABUS accessories.
The BRABUS ULTIMATE 101 shines with immersion-polished extra-wide BRABUS Monoblock VI light-alloy wheels in size 5,5Jx16 in front and in size 8Jx17 on the rear axle. The wheels are mounted with Yokohama tires in size 175/50 R 16 on the front axle and in size 225/35 R 17 in the rear, where they are housed below BRABUS 'widestar' fender flares. All that rubber in contact with the road makes the BRABUS ULTIMATE 101 capable of highly sporty driving.
For sporty yet comfortable handling the BRABUS ULTIMATE 101 comes with a BRABUS sport suspension calibrated to the wider track. The new spring and damper settings offer sporty yet comfortable handling with large safety reserves.
The BRABUS ULTIMATE 101's impressive looks are rounded out by the BRABUS front spoiler, painted in body color, side flaps on the door sills and the stainless-steel BRABUS rear molding. From its center protrude the two chrome tailpipes of the stainless-steel sport exhaust system, which was developed specifically for the BRABUS ULTIMATE 101.
Further appeal of the exclusive convertible comes from its exclusive black interior with red ornamental seams and embroidered BRABUS ULTIMATE 101 emblems: Seats, interior door panels and dashboard are covered with especially soft and breathable BRABUS Mastik leather and Alcantara. Instrument bevels, dashboard carrier trim, turn-signal switch and door handles add bright-red accents, color-coordinated with the exterior color. The sporty character of the BRABUS ULTIMATE 101 is further emphasized by aluminum foot pedals, shift knob and emergency brake lever.
The BRABUS ULTIMATE 101 plaque with consecutive numbering documents the exclusivity of this special model.

District 272 school board approves increased tax levy
Posted: Monday, Dec 31st, 2012
BY: Bonnie Morris
AMBOY - The Amboy Board of Education approved the 2012 tax levy following a public hearing at the board's Dec. 20 meeting. The estimated total property taxes to be levied for 2012 are $6,382,521, which represents a 9.4577 percent increase over last year.
As District 272 Superintendent Jeff Thake explained during the November board meeting, the higher levy is mainly due to a combination of declining enrollment in the district and decreased funding from the state year after year. Meanwhile, the cost of maintaining the quality of education offered in Amboy continues to rise.
Principal Joyce Schamberger, Amboy Junior High, reported that teachers are continuing to align their teaching to the Common Core Standards. She also said a team of teachers was sent to the Raising Student Achievement Conference in St. Charles and they reported to the staff on Dec. 13.
In PBIS, students will be retrained after Christmas vacation on proper procedures and expectations. The PBIS teacher team is in the process of revising "cool tool" lessons and will incorporate the Six Pillars of Character.
Student of month awards were presented during an all school assembly on Dec. 13 and pins and letters were handed out for boys basketball and cheerleading.
The AJHS band and choral Christmas Concert was held Dec. 5 in the high school auditorium. Prior to Christmas break, the fifth grade classes also visited the nursing home to sing songs, play games and give gifts.
Schamberger said the student council's canned food drive was very successful. The collected items were given to the Amboy Fire Department for distribution.
Principal Ron Gruber, Amboy High School, reported on an analysis of the Sauk Valley Community College dual enrollment program, which was compiled by Glenn Sauter. Some highlights of the report included:
* 70 percent of students earned an A or B in dual credit courses in 2011-2012
* 70 total courses were taken by AHS students in 2011-12; 96 percent were successfully completed for credit
Gruber said AP courses in English (12th grade) and U.S. History (11th grade) were offered this year and 11 students are currently enrolled in the two courses. Last year's total enrollment was seven students (AP English was not offered.) He said the AP test scores have continued to improve with 20.8 percent of students earning a score of 3 or better in 2008 compared to 42.9 percent of students achieving that mark in 2012.
The high school's SIP meetings on Dec. 13 focused on evaluating student test data from the 9th grade EXPLORE and the 10th grade PLAN testing that was completed in November. An RtI meeting was also held to help develop and monitor interventions for students who are struggling. Gruber thanked Amy Wittenauer and the AHS student council for providing lunch for the faculty and staff that day.
Gruber explained that the EXPLORE and PLAN tests are used to help identify areas of strength and weakness for students and to help faculty determine appropriate interventions and course selections. Preliminary analysis of the scores shows students as a whole are performing at or above national averages in all four tested areas (English, math, reading and science). He said faculty members continue to work with students to help them reach college readiness benchmarks.
AHS science teachers Jim Browne and Emily Rose along with AJHS teachers Jessica Nauman and Kellylyn Wood met with Amy Jo Clemens from the Lee-Ogle Regional Office of Education (ROE) to discuss a competitive grant targeting science instruction in grades 6-12. Amboy and other area schools partnered with the ROE to apply for the grant, which will be awarded in 2013.
Principal Mary Ann Redshaw, Central Elementary, reported on a project in which fourth grade students and teachers shared their knowledge of cultures (Chinese, Egyptian and Roman) with the third grade classes. The older students researched various aspects of these cultures and shared their findings with the younger students.
Mrs. Schnaiter and the Central School third graders made wreaths from recycled materials for the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. On Dec. 15, the third grade students and three guests visited the aquarium with free admission.
The Dec. 13 School Improvement Day focused on some state required training and the Common Core Standards. Special education staff visited Ashton/Franklin Center to observe their service delivery model.
The Problem Solving Team will meet on Tuesday, March 18. Redshaw said data from last year has helped the team proceed with the RtI process.
The PBIS Committee planned the second quarter incentive, which was held on Dec. 20. Students chose one of six movies and had the opportunity to purchase hot chocolate and popcorn. Kindergarten students viewed "The Polar Express."
Redshaw said kindergarten students held their Thanksgiving feast on Nov. 20. Parents were invited to join the festivities.
The Winter Concert was held on Dec. 18 at Amboy Junior High School for grades K-2. Redshaw thanked Mrs. Weber for her work and Ms. Melin who helped with the second grade "dance." Guest reader was Kristi Boehle.
Classroom parties were held on Dec. 20.
Redshaw said work was completed on Central's fire alarm system and the new gym mats were installed during the recent School Improvement Day.
Following closed session, the board approved Eileen Quest as technology assistant effective Jan. 3 and they accepted the retirement resignation of Velma Quest as a bus driver effective Dec. 14.
The board also approved a resolution to include the question of imposing a 1-cent school facility sales tax in Lee County on the April 9, 2013 ballot.
The next regular board meeting will take place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 24 at Amboy High School.

WebPure needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 49 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
WebPure is a brand new service that regularly scans a subscriber's website for branding issues such as missing images and broken links, as well as security issues like malware or spam injection.
The service is aimed at "C-Level" executives (non IT) of medium to large enterprises and we'd expect a design style that was attractive to that marketplace.
This is a business service.
This is not a consumer service.
The logo we need will be primarily used:
* On the website
* On generated (PDF) reports
* On product brochures
* On corporate stationary
We want a logo that:
* Is attractive to the target market
* Conveys trust, security, and cleanliness
While we're not averse to the logo including some artwork, it needs to include the domain "WebPure.com" (capitalisation is optional) though we're open to "WebPure" or "Web Pure" without the dot-com.
The attached PDF shows the "look" of the WebPure report. The logo must sit well on the report rather than looking like an afterthought or pasted-on logo.


text: Lyman is Proprietor, along with his three sons, Cabot, Gardner and Eliot, of The Vermont Country Store, a retailer selling through two stores, nationally distributed catalogues and the internet. The business is located in Vermont, employs over 600 people and actively supports local communities with contributions and employee-led volunteer programs. Lyman established the Foundation in 1995 to help the citizens of rural America better define and shape the future of their communities. The Foundation is funded with profits from The Vermont Country Store. Lyman became interested in land use issues through serving on the Planning Commission of his hometown of Weston, Vermont and recognized the need for more comprehensive tools and processes to help community leaders and the citizens more easily make sense of defining and shaping the long-term growth of their communities. Lyman graduated from Middlebury College in 1963 where he became an anti-billboard activist because of a sudden proliferation of monstrous red billboards along Route 7 advertising a shack that sold sea shells. The shock and outrage among Vermonters over those signs led to Vermont banning all off-premise signs in 1968. Lyman now serves on the boards of in Washington, DC and The Community Agriculture Alliance in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

PNEUMONIA and PercocetPatientsVille |
PNEUMONIA Symptoms and Causes
Pneumonia is an infection in one or both of the lungs. Many germs, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, can cause Pneumonia. You can also get Pneumonia by inhaling a liquid or chemical. People most at risk are older than 65 or younger than 2 years of age, or already have health problems. Symptoms of Pneumonia vary from mild to severe. See your doctor promptly if you
Your doctor will use your medical history, a physical exam, and lab tests to diagnose Pneumonia. Treatment depends on what kind you have. If bacteria are the cause, antibiotics should help. If you have viral Pneumonia, your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medicine to treat it. Preventing Pneumonia is always better than treating it. Vaccines are available to prevent pneumococcal Pneumonia and the flu. Other preventive measures include washing your hands frequently and not smoking.

I have seen it once before, I haven't really used it though
Yeah, I just found it the other day. Apparently this design was made by a Major JP Gillis from Sacramento, California. It has 17 stars, which include Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, Arizona, New Mexico, and California in the Confederacy.
There are a few but no one that I have really reached out to. There is a guy that goes by Nate895 (I think that's it) that had a battle flag as his avatar but I think that he changed it. People here are pretty open to Southern Heritage because Paul slammed Lincoln and spoke the truth about the so-called civil war.
thanks. I had tried to change it a while back because someone else registered as 'unreconstructed1' but I didn't know people had to pay to change their handles. I was going to go with JohnnyRebel. I even registered that handle but I've never used it.

Matt Iacovetto and Whit Gates sat side by side catching their breath after their nearly simultaneous matches for third and fourth place.
They have experienced countless numbers of wrestling moments together since Pee Wee wrestling.
On the final day of the Class 2A state wrestling tournament, they shared a mirror image of wins and losses.
"Good wrestlers usually come in twos," Soroco coach Jay Whalay said. "Those two have been together all the way."
With Iacovetto and Gates at 140 pounds and 152 pounds, respectively, they were wrestling at almost the same time during all three rounds Saturday. Before and after the matches, they were either watching, congratulating or comforting each other.
Iacovetto had the longer trip into the consolation final match. After losing his first match of the tournament, he fought through the consolation for four wins.
Twice, he narrowly won by one point, and another he won by three.
His Saturday matches started against Meeker's Nick Ruckman. In the match, he went into the third round up 2-0. Ruckman earned an escape and two near-fall points with 30 seconds left to tie the match. Iacovetto wrestled loose and earned a reversal with 10 seconds remaining to move into the consolation semifinals with a 4-3 win.
His next match against Craig Potthoff of Wiggins was scoreless until the third. Iacovetto escaped and then earned a take down with 1:28 left. That is the way the match ended.
In the third-place match, Jordan Reid and his cradles were too much for Iacovetto. Reid put him in two cradles in the first period and opened up an 8-0 lead. The match ended in a 10-1 advantage for Reid.
"I guess I'm happy with fourth," said the first-time state placer. "I still think I could have done better."
Gates also went 2-1 in the consolation bracket, but his wins came a bit easier.
He controlled Paonia's Tanner Ridgway, 7-1, in his first match and outworked Merino's Jared Munoz 12-2.
His win against Ridgway set up a rematch of the regional championship match against Nucla's Wade Garvey. Gates beat Garvey, 5-3, a week ago, but it wasn't meant to be Saturday.
"I don't think I was as pumped up going into it," Gates said.
Garvey dominated the match, winning the bronze, 11-2.
Both Soroco wrestlers went into the tournament with hopes of getting into the title match. While that didn't happen, they have one more year to share to go for the gold.
They had other things on their minds after their matches.
"It will be nice to have a break," Iacovetto said. "Let's go to (Red) Lobster," Witt said about his dinner preference.

That's according to this article which suggests the French may be losing their love for wine. In two generations French wine consumption has dropped by three billion bottles, the equivalent of a bottle per adult per week. Researchers believe that the culture of wine drinking in France is being lost with the younger generations being less likely to drink a bottle with food and more likely to drink simply for pleasure. It seems the French are now drinking wine occasionally rather than on a regular basis, a change which has occurred within the last two generations. The research looked at successive generations and their approach to wine drinking. The over 65s were most concerned with wine heritage and more likely to drink it daily. The middle groups were more occasional drinkers and were more likely to drink socially with friends. With the under 30s, however, wine consumption was the exception rather than the rule. It seems it is decline in younger drinkers that is largely responsible for the decline in consumption.

Today a fiber laser can cut both thick and thin material efficiently and with good edge quality. Key advances in laser optics and cutting head design have helped make this possible.
February 1, 2016 | By Kevin Fradette
Laser cutting has been a widely accepted fabricating technology for almost 20 years, yet with more new blood entering the industry, some fabricators lack a deep understanding of the cutting technology. This tip sheet aims to boost their laser cutting IQ.
October 27, 2015 | By Eric Lundin
Metal fabricators have been using CO2 lasers for decades and fiber lasers for years, but these technologies aren't optimal for making the ultrafine features needed for medical devices such as catheters and stents. Femtosecond disk lasers recently have emerged as a viable technology for such applications.
October 7, 2015 | By Dan Davis
Fabricating metal parts for price-sensitive customers means that Lynam Industries Inc., Fontana, Calif., has to make the right investments in technology at the right time. The investment has to contribute to the reduction in production costs. The metal fabricator's purchase of a fiber laser cutting machine in late 2013 is a recent example of this strategy.
July 13, 2015 | By Tim Heston
Assist gas aids cutting and evacuates molten material from the kerf. It's a key variable, one that may be the culprit for a bad cut edge. Just know that it's not the only potential culprit.
June 2, 2015 | By Dan Davis
Despite having low- and high-powered laser cutting machines and two waterjets, a fabrication shop recognized that it might have a need for more laser cutting capacity. To fill that gap, Advanced Laser & Waterjet Cutting installed a 1-kW CO2 laser cutting machine.
April 8, 2015 | By Eric Lundin
In 1973 full-time farmer Mike Van Mill tried his hand at building a grain wagon for a neighboring farmer, and he has been at it full-time since incorporating Brent Industries a few years later. Now the operations manager for Unverferth Mfg., Shell Rock, Iowa, Van Mill is part of a team that manufactures implements under the Brent brand name. The staff runs the facility like a savvy farmer runs a farm, always looking for a better way but proceeding cautiously. A sheet laser purchased in the early 2000s led to a tube laser purchased in 2014.
April 2, 2015
Edge quality in laser cutting has improved significantly over the decades, and many of those improvements come from four areas: better materials, nozzles, process control, and beam quality.
February 10, 2015 | By Dan Davis
Design Fugitives of Milwaukee tackled a project for a church that required as much creative muscle as it did fabricating power to bring the ideas to life.
January 15, 2015 | By Claudio Schutz
Unscheduled downtime is an incredible headache for a busy fabricating operation. An adherence to a smart maintenance schedule and empowering a maintenance team can eliminate these production surprises.
January 9, 2015
Solid-state lasers theoretically could cut through thin sheet at up to 1,000 meters per minute, though no machine in the world can drive a laser at that speed. But new approaches to laser cutting are bringing laser cutting speeds closer to the theoretical maximum.
October 22, 2014 | By Tim Heston
Not all parts need the tight-tolernace edge that laser cutting provides; now a fabricator canhave the fine touch of laser cutting and the poweful force of plasma cutting for thicker materials in one machine.
July 29, 2014 | By Dan Davis
Modern laser cutting technology can achieve speeds of more than 400 inches per minute, and that puts pressure on the automation used to load sheets and unload cut parts and skeletons. If the automated material handling system can't keep up, the fabricator won't be able to maximize uptime on the laser cutting machine.
July 29, 2014 | By Dan Davis
To bring in more high-volume work, Deltec Inc., Batavia, Ohio, needed to expand its laser cutting capacity. New fiber laser cutting technology proved to be the right fit.
June 30, 2014 | By Tim Heston
The high-brightness 1-micron cutting laser is redefining productivity in metal fabrication. The laser's good absorption helps it cut faster with less power. It also means that keeping optics clean and dust-free is essential.

BarkVader |
Inukshuk Pro Food Group Buy Our family recently received "Vader" a 6-month GSD. His breeder/trainer fed him Inukshuk Pro 32/32. His energy, coat, breath, everything was great. After researching the food I have decided to keep him on it. The only problem is that it currently can only be ordered by the pallet. I live in central California and would like to order a pallet. Is there anyone interested in forming a group to have a pallet shipped to CA? I will call Inukshuk on Monday and post the exact cost. In the meantime if anyone is interested please check out their website inukshukpro.com and especially watch the videos. |

Marisa Tomei Talks "Parental Guidance" With Jay Leno
Eagerly promoting her upcoming film, Marisa Tomei paid a visit to "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Friday (November 30).
Clad in a festive maroon dress, the 47-year-old actress talked about her new movie, "Parental Guidance," and also reminisced about her time on the soap opera "As the World Turns."
Leno asked Ms. Tomei what kind of character she played on the soap. "I was kind of the sad sack, couldn't catch a break, wrong side of the tracks girl," she replied with a laugh.
Meanwhile, Marisa's new flick also stars Billy Crystal and Bette Midler. It is slated to open in theaters on Christmas day.
