If you haven't already, pick up a pair of koss ksc75's.
I know its way underbudget, but they go great with the genre, super comfortable once you bend them to your ear, and personally i prefer them to my $300 headphones.
You won't believe how good they sound for $15.
If you really want to spend more, i'd get the CAL's for home only use, or the M50's for portable/home use.
Are the CALs or M50's by Koss?

I based my ratings on the money the camera cost the the segment that it is in. It is a lovely little camera, easy to use, compact, small and with top quality build. I was surprised, pleasantly so. Image Quality is perfect for what you use a compact for, a little noisy but perfectly acceptable for making nice pictures. Problems: The usual with compacts really, noise, small sensor, but thats not what you buy one for is it.

This was purchased with Loyalty Reward points as a fit in pocket emargency camera and it fits the bill perfectly. I do miss being able to set Aperture and/or shutter speed but hey thats not what I bougth the camera for. My normal Camera is a Canon 40D but a bit too much for some situations. The A1000IS is great value for money
View review in forums Leave a comment on this reviewAfter looking at virtually every camera in the $125- $150 range, I bought this camera for my Photoshop classes to use. The feature set is very impressive. After reading reviews complaining of LCD problems I went for an in-store extended warranty. A major selling point for me was that I could easily toggle between display modes, one of which shows the histogram. I have learned to use the histogram to check exposure under difficult conditions, and once you learn to use it you don't want to be ...
View review in forums Leave a comment on this reviewVery uncomfortable to hold. A590IS is much better choice and it is less expensive. A1000IS badly needs better, larger grip. This new body is a large step backward from previous excellent Axx models, in my opinion. Problems: Hopefuly next model will have larger view finder, since LCD is not adequate in bright light conditions.

Problems: Battery / SD card door difficult to open - chintzy. Rubber cover for USB cable connection difficult to snap back into place when closing.
View review in forums Leave a comment on this reviewThis is really a great little Camera, easy to fit in pocket or handbag. It has a lot of extra features that you don't usually get on a compact camera. I love the build quality, it has a solid feel and the soft grip makes it easy to hold with one hand. Other good features are that it uses AA batteries so you will never run low on power. Has a small but not completely usless viewfinder for those shots in bright sunlight. I found the LCD Screen bright and clear and of a reasonable size. I can ...

2011 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Pat Devlin, QB, Delaware
Devlin did see some playing time while at Penn State. As a sophomore in 2008 he passed for 459 yards and four touchdowns and added a couple more scores with his legs. His most memorable game was against top ranked Ohio State when Devlin was forced into action and led the team to a 13-6 victory. Devlin immediately stepped into a starting role with the Blue Hens in 2009 and ended up passing for 2,664 yards, 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He often forced passes, but that issue went away for the most part in 2010 when the 6-4 senior threw for 22 touchdowns and a mere three interceptions. The result was a trip to the FCS National Championship game and a slew of accolades for Devlin.
Devlin is a relatively mobile quarterback and has decent arm strength. He will have some trouble making the deep pass or the out-route pass and that is a big concern. He has to fix that if he wants to repeat the success of Flacco in the NFL.

Mirliton Pie
- 4 mirlitons, about 2 1/4 pounds, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 cinnamon stick
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plus 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- Basic Sweet Piecrust
- 2 teaspoons heavy cream
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a medium pot, combine the mirlitons, water, allspice, cinnamon stick, and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain in a colander. To the cooking liquid, add 1 cup of the sugar and lime juice and simmer until it thickens to a thick syrup. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Divide the piecrust dough in 1/2. Place 1 piece of dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to an 11-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the crust with scissors or a sharp knife to within 1/2-inch of the outer rim. Return the cooked mirlitons to the pot, and stir to combine with the syrup. Pour into the piecrust. Roll out the remaining crust on a lightly floured surface. Place on top of the mirliton filling and tuck the overlapping crusts into the pan, forming a thick edge. Crimp the edges to seal and cut 1/2-inch long vents along the top crust.
- With a pastry brush, brush the top of the crust with the cream, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.

As we turn the page for a New Year we reflect on the achievements of 2012 and we look to the future in 2013. Our personal goals are likely to be about being more physically fit or achieving a better work-life balance. Coming out of a global recession, an organization's goal is likely to be fitter financially. How does your organization achieve financial fitness? For many in the nation's capital, 2013 will require thinking outside of the box and clear communication.
The growing diversity of our city presents an opportunity for organizations to leverage the skills of its diverse workforce to boost productivity and insights into the demands of a changing local market. Being a clear communicator in order to reach ALL of you audiences – employees, clients and stakeholders is essential.
When I began my work in communications, diversity was for me, not much more than a concept to keep in mind when producing brochures that were representative of Canada's population. However, since volunteering as a career mentor with newcomers, I now understand diversity as an important consideration that guides much of my communications work.
To the Point
One of the biggest challenges to communications today is clear language. Have you ever heard of anyone being criticized for being too clear?
More than 200 languages were reported as spoken at home or as mother tongue in Statistics Canada's 2011 census. In fact, 20.6% of Canadians or 6.8 million people reported a mother tongue other than English or French. This considerable language diversity should signal to your organization the importance of using clear and concise language to cater to your stakeholders, clients, and customers.
What is in a word?
Through my volunteer mentor experience, I learned that it is especially hard to get noticed as a potential employee when you do not speak the lingo (specific language) for a specialized field. For example, communicators or public affairs professionals are often called "spin doctors". No, they can't diagnose if you have the flu. They can, however, turn a negative story in the most positive light possible.
Acronyms Galore
In addition to industry jargon, acronyms are one of my personal pet peeves. It seems every organization and sector has its very own set of coded alphabet letters to designate a program or a policy. Did you know that ABC can mean the Audit Bureau of Circulations, the Allied Boating Association of Canada or the American Broadcasting Company? Are you sure all of your stakeholders and employees understand this particular way of communicating?
If you are a newcomer to Canada, such jargon and acronyms may be lost in translation. And these days one out of every ten skilled workers in Ottawa is a newcomer. If you are an organization looking to hire the best and brightest talent, you may be missing out on strong, globally-minded candidates.
Instant Success (or Failure)
We live in a 24/7 media world. Social media makes the old concept of word-of-mouth marketing instantaneous and far-reaching. A blogger's take on your organization will quickly influence whether others "like" your offering or openly criticize it.
Being aware of the global reach of your social media communications and the diversity of our population, I urge you to consider diverse communication styles and language competencies in your 140 character messages.
Outside the Box
In 2013 if you find that your communications strategies aren't appealing to diverse audiences, it is time to think outside the box and rebrand.
There is no quick fix. However, a great opportunity to help new Canadians with job search, and in turn better appreciate communications differences between cultures is by becoming a career mentor with the Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization (OCISO). It has definitely helped me in my work.
To summarize, bringing diversity into your communications strategies and having clear and jargon-free messaging might just be what the spin doctor ordered!
By day, Mélanie Drouin is a senior communications advisor trying hard to write in plain language and minimize acronyms and jargon in the federal government. In the evening, she volunteers her time as a career mentor with the Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization (OCISO) .
Hire Immigrants Ottawa works with local employers to help them effectively hire and integrate skilled immigrants into their workplaces. We have free training throughout the year on cross-cultural communications.

Mull it Over Monday: Art 24 hours, 7 days a week, is this healthy?
7 comments:
This is me exactly. Always thinking about creating and/or selling what I've created, or learning how to market on-line my art. It's there everywhere I go and everything I do.
I don't know that I sacrifice things. Do I make choices, Yes! Deinitely! But if I choose to do one thing over another, is that a sacrifice. I think of it as a choice I made.Same here, Diane. I spent all weekend alone in my studio (well, I spent 1/2 hour getting a (nother) new camera to photograph my art for my blog!) with Paco. When I spoke to my sister at the end of Sunday she asked what I did all weekend, I said "I was working. In the studio. All day, both days.." And before I could say how heavenly it was she said "Oh, too bad..."... I was taken aback - NO! It was WONDERFUL! The time just flies and even when I'm struggling, it's JUST what I want!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post, Diane! I feel like I should farme it or send it to my family members so they can see that I'm not the only one who thinks and lives this way! The link to Stapleton kearn's post was fascinating. I'm amazed at how much it described me.
Yes, I do make some sacrifices, such as staying in my studio, working on something that needs to get done rather than go outside and enjoy the beauty and doing computer work in the evenings rather than just relaxing. I love all of it though, well, not the computer stuff so much, but it's all so much better than having a regular job and trying to fit my art in on the weekends.Thanks so much for commenting everybody... I had a feeling I wasn't the only one-- I actually wrote so much more than this post, heh. I found myself almost trying to justify my art-all-the-time and it was too much and probably not that interesting, really. This is the "edited-way, way DOWN" version. So your feedback is especially gratifying. Thank you!! (Kelley, I hope you took my advice and got the Cannon G12, it ain't cheap but worth every dime.)
ReplyDeleteNice blog.......

Lorde has found more success in one year than most people have had their whole lives. And she continues to keep that success going by gaining more fans with her live television performance on Late Night With David Letterman. Performing "Team" from her brand new album, she oozed with a mature appeal that no other 17 year old could exude. She also continued to perform on Letterman's webcast series and gave the fans an extended treat.
But in addition to her new found success, she gets even bigger bragging rights with her newly signed publishing deal. Recently, it was announced that she has signed a $2.5 million deal with Songs Music Publishing. The deal includes her Club EP, her new album Pure Heroine, and future records. The founder and CEO Matt Pincus stated that Lorde is "a once-in-a-generation type artist."
Also, if you haven't heard it yet – Lorde has also decided to cover Tears For Fears' "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" for the upcoming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack. What a fitting name for the budding young artist.
Watch her performance of "Team" on Late Night With David Letterman below:

I would just like to make sure that everyone is aware of the fact that this username was concieved and chosen under severe pressure to register NOW NOW NOW (damn you Akazukin).
1,563 total episodes
Haha! You sure do! And yeah... there's always more to watch... always... more... ahhhh!
Just watched it together with my pal Daniel. It was the awesomeness! Seaweed ghosts! :D And not to mention the glasses guy's entrance into the kitchen... ha! I can't wait for the next installment.
True, One can always find praise to be sung about Toradora.
Foppish replies eh? I shall look forward to it! xD
Alright! I checked trough your anime list a bit, we seem to have pretty much the same taste! Awesome! :D I'll just reccomend a bit out of thin air since i can't be arsed to look up if youve seen any of the series, skimmed trough your list to get a major idea though :P
So, I'm not that much for action series unless theyre really good, so i'll reccomend some.
Ghost in the shell : Stand alone complex 1:st GIG and 2:nd GIG. They are absolutely awesome! Don't be fooled by the movie! It's an abomination. The rest of the TV series is so good! It takes about 4-5 ish episodes to get into but after that i was amazingly hooked onto it.
Black lagoon: Girls with guns, pirates and the russian mafia. It's over the top and quite nice. Not sure why I like this one, I just do. Look out for the engrish though! :D
Genshiken - Both first and second season of this comedy series about otakus is awesome! Don't know if you had that one on your list though, my short term memory isn't very good. :p
Kare Kano - Think you might have seen this one. Quite Decent lovecom/Drama.
Minami-ke - It's like a sitcom. It's not very eventful, but it's cute at relaxing somehow, i just like it. The odd style of the characters is really different aswell.
Niea Under 7 - Pretty much a feelgood series about an alien. I really liked this one. The humor in it shines at times. Especially the mad turban man alien's spa bath... geez! xD
Planetes - A really nice series. Iv'e only come to ep 17 so far. But it's one of the few space series that I have appreciated so far. There's just something about the feeling in it.
And last of all then:
Welcome to the NHK. This is one of my absolute favorite series. I watched it in one go pretty much. A story about a hikikomori with severe mental problems. CONSPIRACYYYY! xD
So er, well became a bit much, hope there's something in there that seems worth your time! :D

Custom Magneto book? Oh hell yes!
Dec. 21, 2013
, From: SpaceWranglerrr
This may be the coolest give I've received in an exchange. Not to say the others were bad, but this one... man. /u/SpaceWranglerrr... you got everything right.
I mean, check the images. This book is fantastic. I love it and, sadly, I might not use it for writing because it's too cool. I think I'm going to use it to get custom commissions of Magneto from comic artists. Or.. something. I'm just in love with this thing. It's so cool.
I opened this in a flurry, so I didn't manage to get a picture of the stellar wrapping job. I was excited. :)
Thank you!!!

Account-Wide Mount questions
Post Reply
Return to board index
Post by
I'm deployed to Afghanistan, and can't play, but I also can't get a definative answer on specific mounts I have earned with rep and paid for already. Do all of my characters automatically get reigns of the western drake (Tol Barad exalted mount) once they are at the appropriate level? And do I have to buy, with gold for each toon, in order to have reigns of the cenarian hippograph?
Post by
First and foremost, thank you for your service. Secondly, both of those are account-wide, get on one toon, and the rest of them will have access, provided they are level appropriate.
Post by
Thank you very much for the great info, and helping me get the answers I wanted lokuv!
Post by
Will I have to pay the 200 Tol Barad commendation marks per character in order to get the drake, and will I have to pay the 1400 Gold per character for the hippograph?
Post by
Will I have to pay the 200 Tol Barad commendation marks per character in order to get the drake, and will I have to pay the 1400 Gold per character for the hippograph?
No. Everyone gets access to every mount, with only one purchase required, with few restrictions.
I.e. Class - a mage can't ride a Paladin's warhorse or a DK's Deathcharger, or special reward mounts like the Gladiator drakes.
Oh, but every character must have Cloud Serpent Riding to ride a Cloud Serpent.
Post by
Thanks Mileron. That helps a lot
Post by
most mounts don't seem to have a level restriction, have been using drake of the west wind long before lvl 85, only restriction seems the riding skill
also the proffesion mounts like flying carpet and helicopter do need the proffesion to use

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Freshwater Aquarium Equipment
- - 29 gal. and playground sand.
29 gal. and playground sand. Yesterday I set up 29 gal. at work and for the first time ever decided to use sand. Thought about PLAYSAND but only had three colors to choose from Blue, Green, and hot Pink. Decided to use playground sand. To get approx an inch and one half depth only took about 15 pounds which I washed in 5 gal bucket about five or seven pounds at a time. It has become painfully clear that I did not wash it enough and water is still cloudy after twenty four hours. I am seriously contemplating taking it out and going with fine gravel unless someone with expierience can sooth my frustration . Would large water change or changes help? Or will water clear up after a while? I plan on running this tank for 10 days Heater, Filter, etc. before adding some tetras for cycling and plan on a shoal of pygmy corys hence the sand. Just want to do what needs doin now so as not to stress later. :) |
When I added sand to my last setup the same happened. I think it took a few days to clear totally - but if you give it time to settle, it should. |
Amphitrite, Thank you for speedy reply. I love the look of the sand and the fact that detrius will remain on top as opposed to down in the substrate. Tank is clear enough to see backgound and i have much patience so your news was welcomed. |
I loved having sand for the same reason. One thing to bear in mind is that it should be stirred around on a fairly regular basis in order to prevent gas pockets from forming. I simply raked it through with a plastic fork when performing water changes and after using the gravel vac. What sorts of fish are you planning on keeping in the 29 gallon, have you decided yet? |
Amphitrite, I wonder if a not too fine toothed comb or perhaps a small vent brush with the handle removed would work for stirring the gravel? As for fish I am still researching. So many fish to choose from. One certainty is small fish. Also am thinking about malaysian snails to help sift through the sand .What do you think? :wink: |
A comb, stick or anything like that would work fine. Malaysian Trumpet Snails are a great idea, they do a good job of helping keep the sand aereated and from compacting. I would suggest some corys and/or kuhlie loaches for bottom dwellers - they'll appreciate the sand. They like to sift through it looking for food, and it won't damage their barbels as some gravels can :) Are you going to have live plants in the tank? |
amphitrite, Planned on six pygmy corys for bottom duty. also just put in eighty bucks worth of silk and plastic plants but might go with live plants after tank has matured. Oh! one must have is a farlowella. But again ,must wait until there is someting for it to work on. I kind of like the fake plants with respect to maint of the tank but I fear Girlfiend has other plans. She works with me which is both a blessing and a curse. I'm supposed to be the lead person. :( |
Although I seriously cringe at the thought of using sand, I do have one tank that uses it. It was an experiment that I've been too lazy to redo. I use a child's toy that looks like a hand cultivator for a flower be found it at the local 5 and dime, Dollar Tree, maybe?. Works even for gravels stirs. |
herefishy, thanks! I don't know how I'm going to like the sand but thought I would try it. I suspect catfish will enjoy it. |
I'm using sand in my new 29 gal as well. It's cycling now and I've already got malaysian trumpet snails reproducing in there. I plan on having kuhli loaches for the bottom levels, which will assist in keeping the sand stirred. It kind bugs me that I can't use the UGF that I was going to use for reverse flow, but the sand really looks great. I bought just standard play sand from Home Depot. I dumped it in a bucket and rinsed it maybe....ten thousand times? It took FOREVER before the water ran clear. Seems worth it though, as this is easily my best looking tank to date. |

Link to the firm seeking damages from Apple and AT&T: Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP - For the Plaintiffs Since 1972 If successful in expanding the class, would you join?
I think it sounds fair to me. However I'm sure they are going to limit claims to people who purchased a 3G enabled device prior to the announcement of the data package pricing change. As they advertised the device to be easily switched from 250mb to unlimited month to month, no contract.
Yes, they seek to expand the class to all those who ordered the 3G model on or before the June 6th change date.
I was thinking about ordering 3G models, but changed my mind as I was buying 2 iPads, so went WiFi to keep the cost down. Maybe AT&T can join to sue themselves for the lost 3G revenue they might have had if I had bought?
1. Didnt ATT grandfather the unlimited plan for all purchases made before they announced the change? 2. Class action suits are all about getting you a few dollars and the lawyers millions.
That is for the iPhone users, who can't flip-flop like the iPad was advertised for. If you kept your iPad on unlimited your probably fine, but if you turned it off or dropped to the lower 200-250mb, you prob can't go back to unlimited.....your stuck with 2G for 25$
I would join. Had ATT waited a year to do this - OK - I might understand. This looks a lot like bait and switch. I also think Apple knew about this as well - there's all kinds of business arrangements and contractual obligations between Apple and ATT. Even if they sent me a five dollar bill - I would feel good knowing that Apple had to pay a huge settlement because of this dishonesty.
Even though the iPad is such a revolutionary product - I continually try to remember that apple is just a business - and it run by BCA's (business criminal a$$holes). Just look at what's going on right now with the iPhone4 -- I've heard continual bad press every hour on the news - about dropping calls or diminished signal when the unit is picked up in your hand. I don't think there's anything that you can say that would convince me that they didn't discover this problem the first week of unit testing. Yet I'm sure they weighed the consequences and decided to deploy anyway. Typical BCA's - taking this level of risk with shareholders money. Bad decision - now they've tarnished their reputation which was priceless.

Israeli-Palestinian Coverage
Israeli Forces Kill Hamas Leader In Gaza Attack
Israel launched a new wave of air strikes in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday. The commander of Hamas' military wing was among the first casualties.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block.
And I'm Audie Cornish.
In the Gaza Strip today, Israeli forces killed the military chief of Hamas. It was just the beginning of what Israel called a major military operation against Gaza's ruling party. The strikes were in retaliation for the launching of more than 100 rockets at Israel in recent days. Now southern Israel is bracing for more, as NPR's Anthony Kuhn reports from Jerusalem.
ANTHONY KUHN, BYLINE: An Israeli missile struck Ahmed al-Jabari's car on the road in Gaza. Israel's military followed up with air raids on Hamas rocket launch sites in order to prevent retaliatory strikes. It deployed missile defense systems to protect Israeli communities, and it said it was ready to launch a ground attack into Gaza if necessary. In a televised address, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel would no longer tolerate Hamas' rocket attacks.
PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: (Foreign language spoken)
KUHN: We have conveyed a clear message to Hamas and other terrorist organizations, he said. If it is necessary, the Israeli Defense Force is prepared to further expand the operation. We will continue to do everything to protect our citizens.
Israeli politicians had been discussing resuming the policy of assassinating Hamas leaders in order to stop attacks on Israel. Jabari was the highest-level Hamas official to be killed since 2009. Israel said he had been in charge of attacks on Israeli civilians for the past decade. Speaking by phone from Gaza, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said Israel would bear the responsibility for the retribution that is sure to come.
SAMI ABU ZUHRI: (Through Translator) The resistance will succeed in stopping this aggression and make Israel pay for this great crime. This aggression has electoral aims. It's an Israeli attempt to use Palestinian blood to serve Netanyahu's electoral bid.
KUHN: In Cairo, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi recalled his country's ambassador to Israel. He called for an immediate cease-fire between Israel and Hamas and suggested an emergency meeting of the Arab League. Anthony Kuhn, NPR News, Jerusalem.

- Horse Nutrition
- - What do you feed your easy keeper? Looking for new feed
What do you feed your easy keeper? Looking for new feed I'm looking for a new feed for my easy keeper hes a 12 yr old Quarter horse who is currently off excersie because he has a bowed tendon. He gets orchard grass hay and some alfalfa because I feed it to my rescue and its almost impossible to keep him away from it. He's on Min-a-vite lite which is a ration balancer but it gives him diarrhea. Please any suggestions?? |
Kent's Topline 32% Ration Balancer... it is just a vitamin/mineral supplement with added protien |
If he is already getting access to alfalfa hay, imo there is no need to add protein to his diet. Whats wrong w just having him on hay while he is off his exercise. Keeping it simple would be best option for him. Is there no way of separating the two horse while the rescue gets the alfalfa |
there is nothing in the Min a Vit to cause loose stools... most likely the alfalfa causing that problem |
I feed a mix of prairie hay and when its really cold, brohm hay. They all get a little less than one lb. of Purina Strategy a day. They are all very close in size/weight. I give one filly a joint supplement who has had problems in that area. They of course have a salt block as well. They all look good, nice and healthy with good coats and hooves. |
My Arabian mare is in a paddock with several other horses, and all she gets is bermuda and alfalfa. She actually prefers the bermuda over the alfalfa which is great, and although each horse is fed two large flakes each (generally one alfalfa and one bermuda), I know that they do play musical food piles. So she gets a little bit more bermuda than everyone else, as she does the clean up after the others have lost interest in the bermuda. She's of a really good weight, almost bordering on slightly fat, only because I don't get out there as much as I'd like. I don't feed her any grains or supplements, though she does get a salt block. |
Yeah my horses typically eat our orchard grass before the alfalfa and its usually still left in the stall or field and i really think the only one who actually likes it is the rescue so i dont think he's getting much alfalfa. He had loose stool before we got the alfalfa hay so i think it is the min-a-vite and the vet said try something else. i'm not totally against not feeding grain i just want to make sure he's getting everything he needs. |
Grass hay (weighed), handful of hay stretcher pellets and a carrot (sliced) and smartvite easy keeper grass. He gets hay stretcher the second feeding of the day only so he thinks he is getting something when the other horses are fed. |
Right now I have 3 hard keepers and 4 easy keepers. My guys that have trouble keeping weight on get Safe Choice. My easy-keeper minis (1 mare and 2 foals) get no grain, just good-quality hay, and they stay nice and fat haha. My other easy keeper is a Perch mare, she gets 1 1/2 lbs of oats and 1 1/2 lbs of Safe Choice twice daily. |
grrr my reader won't open will somebody post me the analysis off of the Min a Vit and the Sunshine Plus PLEASE including ingredients THANKS |

After few months of existence the solo mode gets a new, clearer look, allowing better access to a large number of challenges.From now on the challenges are grouped in packs of 14. As before, each challenge has its associated mission, and furthermore each pack is associated to a special mission requiring to win all the medals in the pack.The existing challenges are now regrouped in two packs : Promising Exploits includes the first 14 decks, while Assault Course regroups the 14 next and more difficult challenges.On the same occasion we introduce 2 additional packs. Each pack can be unlocked for 20 credits and offers not only 14 new motivating challenges but also missions allowing you to earn more than 2000 Clintz and other rewards, while having fun.In Omega Team you will face the new original challenges of Cheng and Lydia Omega, while Sworn enemies will lead you into the heart of the struggle between Lord Ruthven and Sir Mac Gregor.Don't wait any longer to discover these new challenges!
Just please warn us before the next solo missions, so we won't use our credits 5 minutes before they are released
What fun are solo challenges when the computer always pills the right way?! Pls note that the computer always knows what u are going to pill and they will pill just the correct amount to win you! > I am very angry right now after playing solo challenges cos I always lose ):
Anna_30: It just seems like they allways pillz exactly.
Ive found its all strategy based although depending on the mission they do not seem to follow the same deck building rules we have to. I like a challenge
@Anna_30: ...they were just programmed to play this way.
Try to play tactical, not some "easy to read" tactics and you may pull it off
Well, many ppl won those missions already therefore you can't be right.
If you need some help, you can PM me, i'll gradly assist you
With the right deck and strategy the solo missions are straightforward.
If you continue to lose against the AI, simply change your deck or/and strategy. Good Luck!
I beat the previous solo missions with all gold but never got the mission complete for it... unless I'm wrong about that
I decided something after finishing both solo campaigns: they actually cost me more clintz than they returned. The reason was because I bought cards off the market to help build decks for beating them easily. This is not an inherently bad thing--it builds up my collection--but it would really be nice if there was one single exclusive benefit for completing them. In particular, a Ld card for each pack would be nice. I dont even care if its good or even playable, but just to have that trophy for it would be nice.
Shippal: you didn't have to buy new cards to complete them so its not the missions faults you lost clintz lol.
I personally think any new missions are good, i like completeing them.

She prayed for herself or for Ryuji. Which, I'll leave that up to you to decide.
As for the relation with the snowstorm incident, I am not sure. I don't remember anything from the novel. Maybe my memory will be jogged when we get there in the re-watch.

Supposely its going to be bundled in there Blu-ray release soon. A release date has not been released. No one knows where the OVA takes place too. Hopefully the plot takes place after the anime. I just recently finished watching the anime and that ending isnt enough for me.

Would you recommend that I read the novels?
I just finished watching the anime, and I am about to start reading the Haruhi Suzumiya novels, so I am probably going to want something for after I have finished those. I thought the anime was really good, and I wanted to know if the novels were as good, or better. |

I'd call the novels better... which is saying something since the anime was one of the better adaptations of *anything* I've seen in a long while. Mostly because there's simply more story (the anime being a shorthand of events from the novel).
To my knowledge, there are just amateur translations of Toradora LN though (if you can't read Japanese).

I don't think there's any one point in which Taiga goes from like to love. If you watch it again you'll see that her love develops quite slowly but surely. We get hints as early as episode 2 and from thn on there are further hints that her relationship with Ryuuji is developing. One interesting hint was near the end of episode 9 when Taiga and Ryuuji are talking at midnight.

Location given as .3km from airport; actually about 20+km and a $60 cab fare as no other transportation available for evening arrival. Not only is the chateau under renovation, it is not even occupied by owner yet.

could use some help with a TAS5518 amp
I've built an amp based on the TAS5518 and a PIC, but I'm having a hard time getting the TAS5518 to do anything.
When I look at the I2C communications, pretty much all the time I don't get back an ack bit, it just stays high. But occasionally it appears to receive an ack bit, but there is no change in the results. Also, the valid and PWM outputs are all at ~2-3mV, and don't change. I already changed out the chip, in case I had damaged it previously, and there is no change in response. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, William |

An update, I played with it some more and it seems to be consistently getting an ack bit now, but the outputs all still remain at 2-3mV dc without any signal.

I figured it out, it is all working properly now.
I think it was a timing issue in the communications, as well as the reset signal timing. For the curious, it uses PCM1802 for input, a PIC to control the TAS5518, and TAS5342 on the output. |

Kind of late to revive this thread but I was just wondering, how do you find this amp? Can you compare it to other designs?
Thanks! |

I like it, I think it sounds very nice, but I don't have any other designs to compare it to (other than old stereos), sorry... I haven't had any noticeable distortion or hiss (other than what I believe is coming from the source) and it is plenty powerful for my needs so I am happy with it.

Nice job, I'm very interested in a project with digital Purepath HD chips, does this amp have digital input? are you interested in selling modules?
I'd love to see pics.. thanks! |

I did not use a digital input since I wanted to be able to use it with a variety of sources. I also wasn't convinced I could output an decoded/uncompressed stream from my computer and I didn't want to deal with decoding...
I'm not sure that I have the time to develop/sell modules, maybe if it's small or no time crunch. Which part were you interested in, in particular? The output stage? I can try and upload pictures this weekend. |

MiniDSP - miniDIGI MiniDSP - miniSTREAMER I'd personally be using SPDIF.. Regarding the parts of the amplifier I'm interested in, I'd say everything but the AD converter, but I guess it wouldn't be much of a problem to have it onboard if it makes it easier for you. I'm wondering about the ability of this "power D/A" to get rid of incoming jitter from the SPDIF, Is jitter rejection a task for the miniDigi board or not? what would be the ideal clocking strategy on such a design?.. forgive my newbie questions. BTW, a TAS5631 design would be very exciting as well |

Those are interesting boards. I hadn't heard of their products before. What is the advantage of a TAS5518+TAS5631 amp connected to one of the miniDIGIs over their amp+dsp combo? Better dynamic range? Lower noise?
I imagine the SPDIF input stage would be the part that should remove jitter, but I don't know. |

I think you wouldn't need their DSP board in order to make a power D/A, their miniAMP uses TI purepath chipset as well, I'm not sure if it si "purepath HD" or just plain purepath chipset.. but anyway the difference would be POWER.. the miniAMP is 2x20W and as far as I can understand from TI site TAS5631 could output 2x300W, the last PurepathHD are suposed to have more power and more fidelity..
I'd love to get a board with I2S input and TAS5518 + TAS5631, I guess all I'd have to do is to get hold of a miniDIGI board and a power supply. My only concerns are the volume control and the jitter rejection.. The only power D/A's I've found at a moderated price are sumoh's, but still underpowered for my needs | SUMOH | True digital amplifiers wadia, TacT, NAD and Steinway-Lyngdorff are out of my budget, and nobody is selling DIY modules yet, besides the very low power miniAMP from miniDSP. I'd buy on blink of an eye a TAS5518 + TAS5631 I2s input module, if anybody was making it.. I guess purepath HD are still pretty new chips, the funny thing is that I see very nice TAS5630 analogue amps like these ones: Class D Audio TI-600 Amplifier - Class D Audio Amplifiers - PRODUCTS I guess digital implementation with digital PWM modulators is more complicated than analog PWM modulators, that's why I got interested on this thread, cos you were using TAS5518.. but to be honest I'm a complete newbie regarding all this stuff, I just find it a very interesting technology I want to try, since my only source is a computer, so a power D/A makes sense to me.

The More Exciting September Callups: Jenrry Mejia and Jeurys Familia
By Toby Hyde | Sep 4, 2012 | 10:18AM
Familia spent the entire year in the Bisons' rotation where he struggled to throw good strikes with his fastball all year on his way to 73 walks and 128 strikeouts in 137 innings as a 22-year old. However, he finished the year on a relative high note as he matched a season-high with nine strikeouts in his final start. In his last four starts Familia ran an ERA of 3.60 and a K/BB of 4 in 25 IP, yielding 27 hits and 11 runs, 10 earned to go along with a homer, a hit by pitch and seven walks and 28 strikeouts for an opponents' batting average of .270. In the first half, Familia walked 14% of the batters he saw in the first half, and cut that down to 8.1% in the second half. For reference, this year, the National League average is a shade under 8%. Familia really struggled to repeat his delivery early in the year, but settled down as the year went on.
Familia's fastball was regularly mid-upper 90s and he has held his velocity deep into ball games. His second pitch is a hard curve in the mid-80s that can be vicious.
Age is funny for pitchers, who do not follow as well-defined a career path as hitters. However, to put Familia's age in context, he was younger than 10 of the 15 pitchers on the St. Lucie Mets' roster in advanced-A.
Nearly regardless of what Familia does in a few big league appearances this September, he belongs back in AAA in the rotation to begin the 2013 season.
Mejia, who is almost exactly a year older than Familia has did not finish strongly in his final two Bisons starts: 12 IP, 15 H, 11 R, 11 ER, 4 BB, 8 K. The Mets still have not made up their mind about what to do with Mejia. Jerry Manuel famously and foolishly pushed him to the big league bullpen in 2010. Following Tommy John Surgery in 2010, after a series of rehab starts at advanced-A, AA and then three in AAA this year, the Mets again looking for a short-term payoff, moved Mejia to the bullpen in the middle of June. Again, the move did not work. The results, over 16 outings, were ugly: 21.1 IP, 27 H, 15 R, 2 HR, 9 BB, 10 K. He seemed to overthrow out of the bullpen and his control disintegrated.
Compare Mejia's work as a starter to that as a reliever.
Year | ERA | G/GS | IP | H | R | ER | HR | BB | SO | HBP | WP | RA |
Starter | 2.75 | 3/3 | 52.3 | 48 | 23 | 16 | 2 | 15 | 29 | 0 | 4 | 3.96 |
Reliever | 5.49 | 0/16 | 21.3 | 27 | 15 | 13 | 2 | 9 | 10 | 1 | 1 | 6.34 |
Starter | 2.6 | 5.0 | 1.9 | 0.3 | 8.3 | 4.0 | 7.0 | 13.6 | 1.88 | 213 | 196 |
Reliever | 3.8 | 4.2 | 1.1 | 0.8 | 11.4 | 6.3 | 9.0 | 10.0 | 1.65 | 100 | 89 |
Mejia was simply a better pitcher as a starter. He still throws hard and his ball has great life. It looks like he's throwing a two-seamer more too, with movement in to right-handed hitters. In fact, over the weekend, he told Adam Rubin at ESPNNY that improving the two-seamer was a point of emphasis during his rehab work. Having watched his starts online, I think the release point on his curveball looks much more consistent than it ever did pre-TJ. However, he is not missing enough bats to be a viable big league option.
Mejia has simply not thrown very many innings. He had very, very little amateur experience, and he has never surpassed 100 innings as a professional. He is sitting on 92.2 innings this year, two off a career-high from 2009 which was split between advanced-A and AA. He needs the innings as a starter in the Mets rotation at the end of this year.
It appears that because he burned his third option before his fifth full season as a professional, the Mets will have a fourth option on Mejia in 2013. Like Familia, barring complete dominance in the next few weeks, Mejia should return to the AAA rotation to begin the 2013 season. Even if his future is in the bullpen, he needs the innings and keeping both starting will give the Mets more choices next year.
This September is about introducing Familia to the big leagues, and re-introducing Mejia so the pair is more ready to contribute next year.

RICHMOND, Va. — Celebrity White House gate crasher and former Bravo reality star Tareq Salahi filed for divorce Friday, claiming his wife was flaunting her affair with the lead guitarist for the rock band Journey.
Tareq Salahi filed paperwork in Warren County, Va. — just hours after his lawyer said it was "premature" to say conclusively that Tareq would seek a divorce. The divorce papers say Salahi's wife, Michaele Salahi — formerly seen with her husband on Bravo's "Real Housewives of D.C." — abandoned the marriage when she left their Virginia home Tuesday to be with the guitarist, Neal Schon, in Tennessee.
"Over the objections of me, she continually exposes our friends and acquaintances to her adulterous relationship and has flaunted the same throughout the community, the nation and indeed the world, and thus caused . . . me to suffer great harm, humiliation, and embarrassment," Tareq said in the divorce petition.
Tareq reported his wife missing the day she reportedly ran off with Schon. He told police he feared she had been kidnapped, but authorities who talked to her said she told them she was "where she wanted to be." The couple was married in November 2003.
"There is no hope or possibility of reconciliation," Tareq Salahi said, adding that he "has been greatly hurt and disturbed" by Michaele Salahi's actions.
The couple gained notoriety in 2009 when they crashed a White House state dinner. Michaele Salahi was a cast member of the reality show "Real Housewives of D.C." last year, but the show was canceled after one season.
She was thrown off the reality show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" when it became apparent she wasn't addicted to anything.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza was obsessed with mass murderers and may have wanted to emulate them, investigators have said, according to US media.
Investigators found evidence suggesting Lanza may have wanted to emulate and outdo Anders Behring Breivik who killed 77 people in Norway in one day in 2011.
CBS News quoted sources to say Lanza found himself in direct competition with Breivik and chose Sandy Hook Elementary School as it had the "largest cluster of people".
The local police have since called the story speculative. But other media outlets such as the CNN have reported along similar lines, linking Lanza to other mass murders.
There is still no information on Lanza's motive for gunning down 20 first-grade students and six adults at Sandy Hook elementary last December.
Investigators also found what they have said a "trove" of video games from the basement of Lanza's home. He practised computer shooting skills there. He also practiced at nearby shooting ranges with his mother.
Unlike Breivik, who surrendered, Lanza killed himself.

As Depp channels his best rendition of the Mad Hatter and Anne Hathaway portrays the White Queen, A-listers abound as the 19 year-old Alice (played by Mia Wasikowska) returns to the magical world where she reunites with old friends and realizes she must end the Red Queen's reign of terror.
As the Mad Hatter, an orange headed Deep with gargantuan eyes, dishes, "Some say to survive it, you need to be as mad as a hatter -- which luckily, I am."
In the trailer a delicate, petite Alice makes her entrance as the Mad Hatter jaunts across a tea table to greet her in the middle of the forest. Not to be outdone, the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) is the tyrant of the land. Opposite the evil Red Queen is Hathaway's White Queen.
The movie blends CGI and live action which explains the bizarre shape of Carter's head! In true Tim Burton fashion, reality meets fantasy as the armor-clad Alice and an army of playing cards roll through the 2010 version of the fabled, Alice in Wonderland.
As for other news from the cast, Depp -- never one to shy away from challenging roles -- finds his next flick in Hunter S Thompson's The Rum Diary. Depp plays a freelance journalist who encounters a pivotal point in his life while writing for a newspaper in the Caribbean. Hathaway has several projects in development as well. In her next role she will star in Rio. In the flick, a nerdy macau from Minnesota ensues an adventure of a lifetime in Rio de Janeiro.

Kinesiology tape has a multitude of uses as a protective and rehabilitative taping technique applied over muscles to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused tired muscles and provide structural support to joints and muscles movement. This method allows athletes to continue training and or competing as injuries heal.
Kinesiology taping is designed to improve the body's natural healing process by helping to improving circulation and increasing blood flow around the muscle which increases the presence of oxygen and nutrients to assist with repair of damaged tissues and accelerates the breakdown and removal of waste product.
Kinesiology relieves pain physically and neurologically, the tapes lifting action relieves pressure on pain receptors that are located under the skin. This is particularly effective for acute injuries, when pain persists after an injury has healed and or for pain that is dis-proportionate to the injury itself.
Kinesiology tapes unique elastic properties ensure that muscles and joints are closely supported during all activities, discouraging harmful movements whilst still allowing a safe and healthy range of motion. Kinesiology tape has a wave patterned adhesive backing which moves with the skin and muscles to facilitate biomechanically correct and supported movement.
Kinesiology tape can be worn for up to 5 days during intense exercise, swimming, showering and bathing as the tape is quick drying. Kinesiology tape can be professionally or self-applied or with the help of others. Application guides are available from many sources online.
Please note, this tape measures 5cm x 5m.

Indiewire has weeded through the films hitting VOD this month to bring you 10 to look out for. Variety was key in selection, so you'll find a horror flick headlined by Christian Slater, a high school drama starring Adrien Brody, a romantic comedy set in Scotland, a hockey comedy from one of the writers of "Superbad" and a documentary that delves into New York Fashion Week.
Here's the 10 indie films to watch on VOD this February, in alphabetical order:
"The Decoy Bride" (Available February 3)
Alice Eve ("Sex and the City 2"), David Tennant ("Fright Night") and Kelly Macdonald ("Boardwalk Empire") headline a great ensemble in this mapcap British comedy. Eve stars as Lara Tyler, a movie star who flees to a remote Scottish island to wed her fiance (Tennant) in peace. When the paparazzi catch wind of her whereabouts, Lara's manager ("Ugly Betty" star Michael Urie) steps in to orchestrate a fake wedding with a decoy bride. Enter Mcdonald as local girl Katie to shake things up.
"Detachment" (Available February 24)
"American History X" director Tony Kaye is back with this all-star timely drama that centers on Henry Barthes (Adrien Brody), a substitute teacher who makes it a point to avoid emotional connection with his students and colleagues. Rounding out the stellar ensemble is Marcia Gay Harden as the school principal, Lucy Liu as a frustrated guidance counselor, along with supporting turns from Christina Hendricks, Blythe Danner, James Caan and Tim Blake Nelson.
"Dragonslayer" (Available Now)
From indie maverick Christine Vachon, comes "Dragonslayer," an intimate portrait of 23-year-old skate legend Josh "Skreech" Sandoval that won the Grand Jury Prize Winner for Best Documentary at last year's SXSW. "The measured vérité style of Frederick Wiseman meets the visual polish of Terrence Malick in 'Dragonslayer,' a fascinating slice of crude Americana from first-time director Tristan Patterson," wrote Eric Kohn in his review of the documentary. "However, it stands alone with an infectious hard rock attitude. Patterson doesn't have the epic aims of those filmmakers but equals their respective abilities to create thoroughly involving environments, pitting gorgeous imagery against cold reality with a delicacy rarely seen in the nonfiction form."
"Goon" (Available February 24)
From "Knocked Up" star and "Superbad" co-writer Evan Goldberg comes this hockey comedy starring Seann William Scott as a slacker with a knack for brawling who gets approached by a minor league hockey coach to be the "muslcle" on the rink. Problem is, this slacker can't skate.
"Gnarr" (Available February 7)
In 2009, with Iceland falling on hard times, local comedian Jón Gnarr came up with an unlikely solution by inventing the 'Best Party' and running for office to mock both left and right parties. And then he won. The documentary "Gnarr" recounts his entertaining journey on eventually becoming the mayor of Reykjavik despite all odds.
"The Other F Word" (Available Now)
Even punk rockers grow up, as evidenced in this raucous documentary that delves into the lives of a group of veteran punks as they adapt to the challenges of fatherhood. "In 'The Other F Word,' Andrea Blaugrund Nevins' ultra-cutesy and insightful documentary about aging punk rock icons mellowing into fatherhood, her subjects talk about the good old days as if they briefly opened a window into an impossibly hedonistic utopia," Eric Kohn wrote in his positive review of the film. "'You could do any fucked up thing you wanted to do,' sighs one, by which he really means everything he can't do now. His tone defines the movie."
"Playback" (Available February 3)
Christian Slater makes a return to the screen in this spooky horror flick that centers on a group of high school students on a mission to unearth their town's infamous past. Their quest takes a dark turn when they unwittingly unlock a dark secret, unleashing a spirit that takes possession of its victims.
"Return" (Available February 28)
In this riveting drama that premiered at last year's Cannes Film Festival, "Freaks and Geeks" star Linda Cardellini gives a career-best turn as a soldier who returns to her family, but is unable to fit back in with society. Michael Shannon plays her understanding husband who cannot relate to her experience and subsequently grows distant. (Go here for an interview Indiewire did with Cardellini at Cannes).
"The Tents" (Available Now)
Fashion documentaries are all the rage right now with "Bill Cunningham New York" and "The September Issue" crossing over with non-doc loving audiences. This latest one, "The Tents," chronicles the history and evolution of New York Fashion Week, from its beginnings to the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week incarnation today.

"Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" (Available Now)
Fresh off its Sundance premiere, this gonzo feature film adaptation of the cult sketch comedy program "Tim and Eric's Awesome Show, Great Job!" hits VOD a full month before it opens theatrically.
