Stop pretending your new Romeo&Juliet is better for Hanyu. This music has clearly been chosen because you saw how much people loved his Romeo&Juliet in 2012, but the new program is nothing compared to the original. Just admit the former was better and you can't top it, and do the right thing for Hanyu. It would be very easy to alter the old program to incorporate the Quad Sal. Look, I'll even do the basic work for you - take Hanyu's old program and slot the elements as such:
FCCoSp4 (flying camel entrance, into upside down position, down into corkscrew sit position, change foot to pike sit spin, up into beillmann)
Footwork Sequence
3Lutz+half loop+3Sal
(ina bauer sequence)
Choreography Step Sequence
FCSSp4 (difficult flying entrance, cannonball position, change foot to tuck position for 8 revolutions)
CCoSp4 (backward camel entrance, change to donut position, change of foot with a jump into sit position *or* regular change into broken leg sit, after 2 revolutions do a jump into regular sit position, then end with a scratch spin)
As for Fernandez, it's just plain obvious how much better his program was last year. Ego shouldn't even get in the way here, since you made it to begin with.
Hanyu and Fernandez are worthy of being Olympic Champions, but without the correct vehicles they will not be given the scores they need to top an on-form Patrick Chan.

Entergy Arkansas said customers in remote locations or in rough terrain could be without service until New Year's Day. About 50,000 homes and businesses remained without power Saturday.
So far, officials are estimating the storm caused tens of millions of dollars of damage to Arkansas' power grid. The president of Entergy Arkansas told The Associated Press that customers would bear the cost of those repairs.
On their fourth day without power, Entergy Arkansas customers visited the utility's Little Rock office to share comments, complaints and questions with company representatives. Some walked away satisfied, some were frustrated and some were elated to find that as they discussed their problems, power had been restored back at home.
"They're showing that it's on, and I just called my neighbor and she says it is," said Donna Miller of Little Rock, whose power had been out since Tuesday evening.
The company's emergency response chief acknowledged the utility's initial response was delayed. He said forecasters underestimated the storm and states that often help Arkansas wouldn't make repair crews available because they, too, were facing severe weather.
"They were holding for what they feared might be coming," said Greg Grillo, the utility's system incident commander.
Counting customers at Entergy and locally owned utilities, more than 260,000 homes and businesses were without power for at least part of the last week. As of Saturday night, the number had dropped to about 50,000.
"They say it will be tomorrow," Vernon James of Little Rock said after a company worker showed him how it would take line workers to reach his neighborhood. "It'll be another hotel for the night."
Gary Beard of Bryant left frustrated after crews repaired a line in one part of his neighborhood but left his road in the dark.
"My section had been bypassed," Beard said. "It has a fuse located where it shouldn't be located. They reconnect all the subdivision, but only half of it comes back on because of this crazy fuse."
Entergy Arkansas' president, Hugh McDonald, said later in an interview with the AP that customers were showing an appropriate amount of frustration with the company following worst-than-expected weather.
"It's at levels that we typically see," McDonald said. "About the third day, people begin to get really impatient."
A storm system that also produced nearly three dozen tornadoes along the Gulf Coast swept through the Southern Plains beginning Christmas morning. In Arkansas, freezing rain collected on trees, power lines and poles that were later weighed down by up to 15 inches of snow.
Utilities in the Southeast that typically provide mutual assistance to Arkansas wouldn't release crews before Wednesday because of expected bad weather in their areas, explained Brady Aldy, Entergy Arkansas' operations manager.
"No one was willing to shake anyone loose," Aldy said.
The National Weather Service initially predicted the hard-hit Little Rock area would receive 3 to 7 inches of snow. It received about a half-inch of ice before 10.3 inches of snow fell. Some power was out before Aldy could arrange for more line workers.
A company analysis of its response to a pair of ice storms in late 2000 recommended rapid deployment of repair crews when winter weather was on the horizon, suggesting: "The risk of mobilizing for a storm that may not materialize is much smaller than the risk involved in not preparing for a storm that does hit."
But McDonald said the company response was appropriate this year, given the forecast the company was receiving from the National Weather Service and a meteorologist is has under contract.
"We did not feel we had the information to make a decision to mobilize 1,000 or 2,000 resources," McDonald said.
By mid-week, the company had summoned aid from 4,700 workers.
Utility spokeswoman Julie Munsell said that by the time more workers were called Christmas night and Wednesday, it was virtually impossible to reach the hardest-hit areas because of treacherous roads.
Rob Roedel, a spokesman for the Arkansas Electric Cooperatives, said the collection of 17 locally operated utilities was surprised by the storm's path. But the group believed its work after previous ice storms — including a mutual assistance plan among the companies — put it in a position to respond quickly to any area that was hit.
"We were told it was going to go to the north," Roedel said. "But by Christmas evening, we had crews working."
McDonald said the utility has $15 million built into its rates annually to cover damage from typical storms. Costs in excess of that — "and this will be a significant amount" — can be passed onto customers with Public Service Commission permission.
"If everyone gets power, I think it's worth it," Miller said.
In the 2000 storms, Entergy Arkansas incurred about $195 million in damage but was given permission to tap $137 million that had been held in reserve in case the utility had been forced into competition with other power providers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama met with Democratic congressional leaders at the White House on Monday, eager to seal a year-end bipartisan agreement to extend expiring tax cuts to all Americans and renew jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed.
The White House also has been floating the possibility of including a temporary payroll tax holiday in any agreement as a way to help stimulate the economy, officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss recent developments.
Democrats have been critical of Obama for signaling a willingness to bow to Republican demands that any tax cut extension apply at upper income levels as well as to the middle class.
The White House meeting took place shortly after Obama returned to Washington from a trip to North Carolina, where he said he and Congress must "make sure we're coming up with a solution, even if it's not 100 percent what I want or 100 percent what the Republicans want."
Momentum for a year-end deal picked up after Obama met at the White House last week with Republican leaders for the first time since his party's dispiriting losses in midterm elections, and accelerated again when the government reported last week that joblessness had risen in November, to 9.8 percent.
The flurry of negotiations is taking place with lawmakers eager to wrap up their work for the year and adjourn for the holidays.
Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky have all said in recent days they believe a deal on tax cuts and unemployment benefits is possible by midweek. If so, that would leave time for the Senate to hold a ratification debate on a new arms control treaty with Russia, which Obama has made a top year-end priority.
Senate Republicans have seemed more willing to hold a ratification debate in recent days as the negotiations over taxes intensified, suggesting at least an implicit link between the two issues in the talks.
Few details of the negotiations were available, including the length of a payroll tax holiday under discussion.
But it appeared increasingly likely that any extension of the Bush-era income tax cuts would be for two years.
Obama and Democrats have long insisted that tax cuts be allowed to lapse for incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples, saying that would cushion the impact on the deficit.
On the other hand, Republicans want all tax cuts extended permanently, arguing it made no economic sense to raise taxes with the economy still recovering from the recession.
Questions remained about how many concessions Obama could extract from Republicans in exchange for extending current tax rates for high earners, a proposal he opposed. But without action, lawmakers face the prospect of delivering a tax hike to all taxpayers at the end of the year, when the current rates expire and revert to higher pre-2001 and 2003 levels.
Negotiations between the Obama administration and a bipartisan group of lawmakers centered on a two-year extension of current rates.
At the same time, a jump in the unemployment rate to 9.8 percent is putting pressure on Republicans to accede to Obama's demand that Congress extend unemployment insurance for a year. GOP congressional leaders had opposed an extension of benefits without cuts elsewhere in the federal budget.
"I think most folks believe the recipe would include at least an extension of unemployment benefits for those who are unemployed and an extension of all of the tax rates for all Americans for some period of time," Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the Senate's Republican negotiator in the talks, said Sunday.
Central to the deal, White House officials and Democrats said, is an extension of unemployment benefits.
"Without unemployment benefits being extended, personally, this is a nonstarter," said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking member of the Senate Democratic leadership.
Republicans have insisted that any extension of jobless aid be paid for with cuts elsewhere in the federal budget. The White House opposes that, saying such cuts are economically damaging during a weak recovery.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Republicans would probably cede that point to the Democrats.
"Let's take care of the unemployment compensation even if it isn't … backed up by real finances," Hatch said. "We've got to do it. So let's do it. But that ought to be it."
About 2 million unemployed workers will run out of benefits this month if they are not renewed, and the administration estimates 7 million will be affected if the payments are not extended for a year.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell on Sunday said discussions are still under way on a variety of unresolved issues.
Any deal would require the approval of the House and Senate, and the president's signature. Obama told Democratic congressional leaders Saturday that he would oppose any extension of tax rates that did not include jobless benefits and other assistance his administration was seeking.
The short-term tax and spending debate is unfolding even as Congress and the Obama administration confront growing anxieties over the federal government's growing deficits.
A presidential commission studying the deficit identified austere measures last week to cut $4 trillion from the federal budget over the next decade.
The movement toward a possible compromise came after Republicans blocked Democratic efforts in the Senate Saturday to extend the current tax rates on all but the highest income levels. Republicans prefer extending all the tax rates permanently, but that cannot win legislative approval either. Even if it did, Obama would be sure to veto.
Durbin and Kyl spoke Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation," while Hatch appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" and McConnell on NBC's "Meet the Press."

(Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering Kofman, 2002)
Derrida is an intimate, playful portrait of the French philosopher said to have "changed not the way you think about everything but everything about the way you think."
Best known for pioneering the philosophical idea of "deconstruction," Jacques Derrida has led a radical rethinking of the precepts on which Western metaphysics are founded. Not a conventional biography nor a dry analysis of his thought, this film portrait (much in the spirit of Derrida's own writing) investigates the concept of biography itself, using interviews and footage of Derrida in private life and in the lecture hall to question the relationship between one's life and one's work.
Codirector Kirby Dick is best known for Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan; codirector Amy Ziering Kofman studied with Derrida at Yale. With music by Ryuichi Sakamoto. (85 mins.)

Digital Anarchy, a leading provider of cost-effective software for photographers and digital artists, today announced a free update to their popular ToonIt! Photo cartooning plugin. ToonIt! 2.6 adds compatibility for Adobe Photoshop CS5 and 64-bit operation on Mac systems; the Photoshop plugin is already compatible on Windows/Vista.
The 2.6 update also adds many behind-the-scenes improvements, like background rendering, to make ToonIt faster and more responsive.
Commercial photographer and product reviewer Stan Sholik said, "I've had the opportunity to review many Photoshop plug-ins and ToonIt! is unique in its ability to transform images, especially portraits, into unique cartoon-and graphic novel-like creations. And best of all it is easy and fun to use, inviting you to experiment and find new looks that can increase sales."
ToonIt! Photo is used by photographers and digital artists to create a variety of cool cartoon styles, beautiful painted effects, and illustrated looks. One of the key features of ToonIt! is its ability to turn people and faces into believable cartoons and illustrations. The software uses advanced algorithms from Toonamation, Inc and allows ultimate control in customizing the cartoon effect with paint styles, shading and outlines.
"Many artists have used ToonIt to transform personal photos and fine art," said Jim Tierney, president of Digital Anarchy. "We're also finding that pro portrait photographers use ToonIt in clever monetizing ways, like offering a cartoon image to their clients as a part of the portrait package. It's an easy way to offer a whimsical 'bonus' on top of the more traditional photographs."
Pricing and AvailabilityToonIt! Photo for Photoshop is regularly priced at $159 USD, but will be on sale for $89 until July 15, 2010. The plugin works in Adobe Photoshop CS-CS5 and Photoshop Elements 6.0-9.0. The plugin runs on Macintosh 10.3.9-10.6, Windows XP-7.0 and Vista systems.
A separate version for use in Apple's Aperture is on sale for $79 USD, normally $129. ToonIt! Aperture is also updated to version 2.6 for the render improvements.
Current owners of ToonIt! Photo and ToonIt! Aperture should contact Digital Anarchy for free update instructions. Demo filters and samples are available at http://www.digitalanarchy.com.

You may use any webmail client that supports either pop3 or imap.
Hi there!
I'm now testing ISPConfig 184.108.40.206 and have some questions.
My server has the address node1.xyz.com.
I'm trying to add new site.
So in the sites->domain section I create new record for the domain abc.com.
Now I need A records for the domain itself and for www.abc.com.
In the DNS section I add new zone:
Zone (SOA): abc.com
NS: node1.xyz.com
Xfer (IP): [blank]
After that I try to add some records to that zone:
Hostname: www
IP-Address: 126.96.36.199
How can I add A record for the domain itself?
When I try with Hostname: * it tells me it's invalid.
Am I doing something wrong?
When I try to resolve abc.com and www.abc.com I get the message: A record not found, server failure.
What is Xfer?
Any ideas?
Add a A-Record:
Hostname: abc.com.
The relevant thing is the dot at the end of the hostname. With dot, it is a "absolute" domain name. Without the dot, it is a "relative" domain name which is prepended to the zone. e.g. www (without a dot) results in a A-Recoird for www.abc.com
This is the normal syntax which is also used by BIND.
I will let you know .. (next week), i will try to recompile it.
I've done this, but http://www.kloth.net/services/dig.php still have no answer section
Please use the dig command on the shell for testing:
dig @localhost abc.com
If you use any websirvice it may take up to 48 hours until the dns change might have propagated.

Maybe the problem that I did / do have with the VM I downloaded of ISPConfg 184.108.40.206.
Also there I got the refused-error, although the dns service was running -> see the bug mentioned...
Also patiently waiting...
Also patiently waiting the production version. This is going to be great! Can hardly wait.
features available?
does version 3 has mailinglist support? ezmlm / mailman??
and does it threat a sub-domain like a sub-domain not redirected url..
and is it going to have a automatic php script installer, like fantastico/installatron ??
many free webhosting provider like 000webhost and byethost have their 1-click-installer script similar to fantastico.
000webhost provide guidance, and deploy the file and database directly.
but byethost seems only extract the zip installer and user have to configure the script themself
I am prefer the way 000webhost do, not many script available but it can deploy the files and database for the script automatically
my suggestion scripts that available on 1-click-installer for ispconfig are
just an idea, thank you for your attention.
I like thoes ideeas =)
the amavisd.conf won't be copied by the installer, so amavaid-new won't be configured and so the mails will be queued by postfix
ISPConfig 3 does not come with its own amavisd conf, this explains why it is not overwritten. The amavisd.conf does not have to be overwritten, ISPConfig replaces just some lines. I installed it today and it worked for me. Please follow exactly the installation instructions that you find in the tar.gz file.
Hello, do you have documentation how to install ISPConfig with split servers?
There is no documentation beside the descriptions in this thread.
I tried but is not working for me, I do have the following configuration.
ISPConfig Box IP xx.xx.xx.xa
WEB server IP xx.xx.xx.xb
DNA Server IP xx.xx.xx.xc
Mail, MySQL & slave DNA servers IP xx.xx.xx.xd
Install ISPConfig, only the php files, Install another ISPConfig with web server, but ISP Control box unable to connect with WEB server. What I am missing in here?
The control server is not connectiong to the web server. The webserver is connected to the control server trogh the database. You must use the database login details and hostname of the control server when you install the web server.
Howtoforge fourm
I estimate I can just install the bundles involved for say an http server and then install the burlesquing 3 in adept mode or do I have to install all packages mail, dns, and http, behave on each server even although each server will have particular roles?

Whoa, my twitter feed is on fire with all these angry Australians. It seems Cardinal George Pell is getting grilled about child abuse within the Australian Catholic Church, and he's being his usual callous, dogmatic self. "Some of the victims themselves aren't entirely blameless," indeed.
The Age has an article summarizing the inquiry so far, but it's rather tepid compared to the outrage I'm seeing expressed by the Australians listening in. It's clear that Pell has admitted there was abuse of children, and also that there was a cover-up; he also had lots of excuses.
"I would agree that we've been slow to address the anguish of the victims and dealt with it very imperfectly," he told the inquiry.
"I think a big factor in this was not simply to defend the name of the church.
"Many in the church did not understand just what damage was being done to the victims. We understand that better now."
Cardinal Pell said the sodomy of children was always regarded as totally reprehensible.
"If we'd been gossips, which we weren't … we would have realised earlier just how widespread this business was," Cardinal Pell said.
He admitted that lives had been ruined as a result of the cover-ups and that they had allowed pedophile priests to prey on children.
"I would have to say there is significant truth in that," Cardinal Pell said.
He said he did not believe there had been a culture of abuse.
"I think the bigger fault was that nobody would talk about it, nobody would mention it.
"I was certainly unaware of it.
"I don't think many, if any, persons in the leadership of the Catholic Church knew what a horrendous widespread mess we were sitting on."
Cardinal Pell agreed that placing pedophiles above the law and moving them to other parishes resulted in more heinous crimes being committed.
"There's no doubt about it that lives have been blighted.
"There's no about it that these crimes have contributed to too many suicides."
He also blamed lax standards for admission to the priesthood 50 years ago, something the pope babbled about a while back, too. Damned hippies!
But basically Pell got up and admitted that all the accusations were true and that he knew about it and that the only reason they didn't do anything about it was that they didn't realize how widespread the problem was. I want to know how big it had to be before they would have cracked down: I would have thought ONE child raped by a priest would have been sufficient to trigger a response, but apparently Pell didn't think it important until it hit some other magic number.
If you'd like to see some real rage against the Catholic Church, follow #abuseinquiry on twitter.

A good, healthy and aggressive raking of the scene is in order here. In place of sleeping, I rake:
• The news that The Rolling Stones have announced at least one date, May 11, at MGM Grand Garden Arena on their current tour prompted a memory of one of their most recent performances in VegasVille. That was in November 2005 in the early stages of their "Bigger Bang" world tour. The show took place in a remarkable run of concerts at Grand Garden Arena. In a single month, the Stones, U2 and Paul McCartney all performed at the Grand Garden.
The Stones show from that tour featured an auxiliary, or "B," stage at the center of the floor. They played three songs in that tight space, including "Get Off My Cloud." As the band fired up "Tumblin' Dice," Mick Jagger popped off a quip about the "What Happens Here, Stays Here" slogan, saying, "Does that mean my money, too?" Then he kicked a water bottle into the audience, nearly into the hands of Brandon Flowers and Ronnie Vannucci of The Killers. The half-filled container landed two rows behind them, and what a memento that would have been. Here is a wrap of that show, from 7 1/2 years ago.
• During a conference call with national media Tuesday, ACM Awards President Bob Romeo reiterated that the relocation of the ACM Awards telecast in 2015 is to be a temporary move. The ACMAs are in town Sunday for the annual broadcast from MGM Grand Garden Arena, with the show coming off live at 5 p.m. and airing delayed at 8 on CBS. The show is back in 2014 but is planning to go "supersize" in 2015 for its 50th anniversary celebration and hold the shindig at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The facility built for the Cowboys is host to a variety of events (title fights, Professional Bullriders Association shows and NCAA Tournament regional games), and this is the very type of show that community officials have been trying to rope into town since construction started on the cavernous playground.
About 65,000 fans can be seated at Cowboys Stadium for a show such as ACMAs. Currently, the only venue in Las Vegas that could handle that type of crowd is Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The ACMAs are not moving to LVMS, but the city does pull in about 40,000 fans to the live show and ancillary events at The Orleans Showroom and Fremont Street Experience during the "Vegas Goes Country" events in the week of the ACMAs broadcast. When the ACMAs return to Las Vegas — and that is a "when," not an "if" — in 2016, Romeo plans to further expand the reach of country music here.
He's not specifying how that would happen just yet.
"When we come back in 2016, we'll be growing the events to make the event even bigger," Romeo said, adding that it is likely a remote feed will be used from a satellite stage, such as how Mandalay Bay has been used before, during the live broadcast. "There is a lot of plotting and discussing going on about how to make it bigger." The show is likely to return to MGM Grand, but if the MGM Resorts arena planned for the land behind New York-New York and Monte Carlo is actually finished three years from now, it could conceivably serve as the home to the ACMAs.
"Our people love the MGM Grand," Romeo said. "It makes us feel comfortable, it's easy for us because we know the building and feel comfortable walking the back hallways. Even with the addition of building arenas in town, we like the Grand Garden Arena.
• The Hard Rock Hotel could set up a mind-blowing entertainment festival with the wide range of live acts it is staging at the moment: Crooner Mark OToole, rockers Def Leppard and comic Andrew Dice Clay.
The latest announcement that Motley Crue is returning this year for 12 shows running Sept. 18-Oct. 6 marks the first return visit of a hard-rock act in residence at The Joint. Davis is not ruling out returns by former hard-rock headliners Guns N' Roses and Def Leppard. Of the latter, Davis says, "I can tell you they have been fabulous to work with. They really, really wanted to do this. This is not a money grab. They worked their tails off getting ready for it, and it really shows in the performance."
As for the Crue, expect a show filled with hits but with a different twist on staging. "Their shows tend to be greatest-hits shows, so you'll get a full dose of songs you came to hear," Davis said. "I know what it's like to sit through a two-hour show filled with songs you don't want to hear. They care very much about delivering a great show, and the only thing new in the conversation has been a new production with a new stage. We like that."

Mackie C300z Passive Speaker (Black)
- Write a Review
The passive Mackie C300z 2-Way Speaker is equipped with a 12" high-efficiency woofer and a 3" voice coil with a 1-3/4" titanium diaphragm compression...Click To Read More About This Product
6-Month* financing available.
A passive version of the popular SRM450.
The passive Mackie C300z 2-Way Speaker is equipped with a 12" high-efficiency woofer and a 3" voice coil with a 1-3/4" titanium diaphragm compression driver. The C300z handles a massive 600W of peak power at 8 ohms, and has a 45Hz-20kHz frequency response for clear sound across the spectrum. The C300z speaker's EQ and crossover points are meticulously chosen so that beam-width patterns match in both drivers, delivering natural sound at all volume levels. The Mackie C300z is pole-mountable and flyable. With its trapezoidal shape the C300z speaker can also be used as a stage monitor.
Precision Tuned by the Speaker Brains at EAW
Mackie's C Series passive loudspeakers represent Mackie's first lightweight passive speakers tuned exclusively by the EAW loudspeaker engineering team-a team with more than 25 years of high-output loudspeaker expertise, having created loudspeaker systems for critical applications as diverse as the Super Bowl, Iron Maiden, and the Pope. Although loudspeakers for these mega-systems cost exponentially more than the stalwart C300z, many of the same concepts have been applied, namely: designing custom 12" LF drivers with a frequency range from 50Hz-3000Hz and a 3" voice coil that can take a pounding. It also has a 1.75" high-frequency titanium driver and horn providing a wide, controlled dispersion pattern, and precise reproduction of the critical 1000Hz-20,000Hz upper mid-range and high frequencies.
Crossovers Tuned to Perfection
Tuning a crossover (i.e. voicing a system), involves dozens of critical decisions that many manufacturers overlook. In the end, it is all about balancing the design so that you get the best subjective results from the speaker while maintaining a good technical implementation. The crossover in the C Series is a unique Low Impedance Compensated Crossover (LICC) design with an asymmetrical slope. With EQ and crossover points meticulously chosen so that beam-width patterns match in both drivers, C Series loudspeakers offer natural sound at all volume levels.
Ultra-Wide Dispersion
Ever been to a show where the music sounds great in front, but craps out once you get to the back or sides of the room? The C300z was given a multi-cell horn throat aperture to avoid that situation. Sure, it's hard to say, but what it does is allow for much wider and more even dispersion of high and mid frequencies-so the wallflowers get the same great listening experience as those up front.
Better Than Your Average Box
Anyone with a factory can build a box and stick some speakers in it (and that's just what many do). But low-frequency transducers in square boxes can create resonances that reflect off the rear wall and pass through the woofer cone out of phase, and ready to mess up your sound. The C300z enclosure is an asymmetrical monocoque design with no parallel surfaces, causing mid- and high-frequency resonances to be reflected at angles into internal damping materials, instead of interfering with the woofer doing its thing.
Superb Floor Monitor
A good floor monitor plays loudly without generating feedback through vocal microphones. A poor floor monitor, on the other hand, will generate feedback just about the time you turn it up to a useable level. Floor monitor feedback is often caused by uneven frequency response and dispersion; some frequencies arrive at the microphone much louder than others. These spikes are what trigger feedback as the floor monitor volume is increased. The Mackie C300z has incredibly smooth, spike-free response and dispersion over a wide range of treble frequencies, so you can increase its volume without boosting those nasty, feedback-inducing spikes.

Comments about Mackie C300z Passive Speaker (Black):
I have used Mackie speakers as mains for many years. When I saw the price of these units I thought why not try them as floor monitors, best thing I ever did!
These speakers are clear, loud, and have a great sound. Why not have the same great sound on the stage as you have out front?
What a difference and at this price you can't miss!
Comments about Mackie C300z Passive Speaker (Black):
Won't be disappointed..
Bought 2 of these because I couldn't afford the powered SRM450's at the time. First time I used them live was to play techno/dance music at a Football Stadium. I had one speaker facing one side of the stadium, and the other facing the other side with only a QSC GX5 driving these babies... Although the low bass output was sort of lacking, (from the other side of the stadium). I had so many compliments from people in the crowd saying how good the sound was from those small speakers. I even had a guy ask me "Where are the other speakers that he swore he heard?"...
since than have been using as our mains for my Rock Trio. At first we just put vocals and kick drum through them. But now that I have Mackie SWA 18" subs running the lows, with the C300Z's passing everything above 100Hz, ...vocals, mic'd guitar amp, bass guitar di, and full drumset mic'd....
Worth more than I paid for them..
Comments about Mackie C300z Passive Speaker (Black):
This little boad boy puts out a lot crisp sound! Some guys would swear that the active spkrs sound better becuz of the built-in electronics. But the active ones 1) weigh more, 2) require a power cable, 3) that power cable will require an extension calbe, and 4) you still have to run a mic cable into it. at least with a this passive Mackie, the power amp you buy will have a built-in fan to keep it cool. More reliable that way. I needed a floor monitor and was using 2 of the old JBL EON 15's as mains. The new EON's don't have the tilt back design anymore so I picked up this Mackie instead.It's a great speaker for your dollar.

Comments about Mackie C300z Passive Speaker (Black):
Excellent bass response, as good or better than an 18" sub. A little on the heavy side to lift up onto stands, but I grin and bear it. Now my pair of c200's are used as monitors. I power everything with a Mackie powered mixer, 800w X 800w. Nice compact system, indoors or out!

Comments about Mackie C300z Passive Speaker (Black):
I have owned and used many PAs and I really like these speakers. Great projection, nice sound, and not as heavy as most of the speakers I've lugged around over the years. My only comment is, if you are playing dance floor music, you are going to want a subwoofer.

A tough one to watch...the Knicks were dominated tonight. With the new guys in the lineup, its hard to expect a miracle. Once Harrington (who hasn't played since early November) and Thomas get used to D'Antoni's system...they'll play better.
Thomas didn't look too bad considering he didn't even practice with the team before the game.

WEG Results: Show Jumping Qualifier
- Oct 4, 2010
- Topics:
United States riders Mario Deslauriers, on Urico, and McLain Ward, on Sapphire, set the pace in the first leg of the team competition at the Rolex Jumping World Championships at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Ky. Their performance led the U.S. team to the top of the team rankings, with two more days of team jumping to go.
Deslauriers and Urico stopped the clock after a clear round in 71.25 seconds. Ward and Sapphire, riding almost five hours later in the field of 121 horses, fell just short, in 71.79 seconds.
Sandor Szasz of Hungary, who is competing in his first international championship and has never placed in a major international competition before, surprised his competitors and the roaring crowd in the Rolex Arena by urging Moosbachhofs Goldwing through the finish in 73.24 seconds.
The U.S. team holds the early lead, with 5.69 faults. Germany is second (9.8 faults), France is third (11.32), the Netherlands is fourth (11.33), Canada is fifth (11.93), and Spain is sixth (13.22).
"I had a really nice lunch--my part was over," said Deslauriers, who rode just before the lunch break. "When I posted a 71, I thought I'd be in the top five, for sure, but I knew there were a lot of top riders after me."
Deslauriers, 45, is riding on his first U.S. team since changing his nationality from Canadian to American last year. He had been a mainstay of Canadian teams since the 1984 Olympics. "I had been living in the U.S. and had my business here for 24 years, and then I married Lisa and started to ride for Jane Clark, who is very involved in the sport and the U.S. team. It was the right time to finish the change to becoming an American," said Deslauriers.
Ward, 34, said that he and his teammates had come to the Kentucky Horse Park for one reason. "[Chef d'Equipe] George Morris told us when we walked the course to make a plan to win the class, and that's exactly how we rode our horses," he said.
Although Lauren Hough and Laura Kraut each suffered 8 faults, to finish 41st and 49th, Morris said that his team had performed according to his plan. "Being here, in our own country, I didn't gather them together for training [before the World Games]. They had all been competing and training well on their own, and I felt it was better not to get them out of their rhythm. I always follow my instincts," he said.
Ward praised the course designed by Conrad Homfeld, assisted by Richard Jeffery. "Conrad did a masterful job. It's a very difficult competition to build for because there is such a range of ability. It was careful and scopey, but it didn't get messy," he said.
Szasz said that he had felt confident before he rode. "I thought I would do well. I am happy with my placing and with my team's placing, because we only have three riders because one of our horses was sold" just before the World Games began, he said. The Hungarian team placed 11th (16.28 faults) today.
"Toward the end of the course I felt comfortable going faster, and now I am sitting here next to these two famous riders, and I have ridden with them today. I feel a lot of pride in that," added Szasz.
The team competition continues Tuesday, Oct. 5, starting at 10:00 a.m. The top 10 teams after Tuesday's competition will go forward to the team final on Wednesday night.
Today's competition was also the first individual qualifying competition. The Tuesday and Wednesday team competitions re also individual qualifiers, and the top 30 riders after Wednesday will go forward to the final qualifying round on Friday night. After that, the top four riders will contest the individual final, where they will ride each other's horses, on Saturday night.
Today's attendance was 31,246.

The changes to the Land Subdivision and Development Code most notably include a requirement for sidewalks on both sides of the street for all urban streets.
According to the proposed amended code, the developer must install sidewalks "upon 75 percent build-out of the lots contained within the development or in 36 months; whichever occurs sooner." Additionally, the code also requires street lights in new developments.
Aldermen debated the costs of the ordinance in an effort to try to balance the price for the developer with safety for the residents.
"We're trying to make it as middle-of-the-road as possible to accommodate both sides," councilman Mark Tripp said.
Other ordinances the council discussed included a consideration for the Walmart Neighborhood Market on South Vancouver and ditch improvements for Prairie Creek.
The council will decide whether to approve or deny those ordinances during its Dec. 20 meeting.

text: One of my collector friends believe that few collectors care about metal rackets and this is really sorta true because the metal tennis racket was very short and not so sweet. The metal rackets offered more power than the wood rackets but were harder on the arm and did not have the touch or control of the wood rackets. I made a quick video showing off some of the famous player models from ashe, rosewall, laver, connors, riggs, gonzales, and a few others. Sorry about the quality but its a start ... check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvkBXmxx_Us&feature=youtu.be

A CRUISE ship believed to be carrying hundreds of people on a round-the-world trip has been forced to stop near the tip of South America after suffering mechanical problems.
The Black Watch, which set sail from Southampton on January 14, has anchored off Chile while its steering gear is fixed, according to owners Fred Olsen Cruise Lines.
It is the latest incident to affect the voyage, with the company confirming a passenger died after falling overboard 113km off the coast of Brazil on January 30 as it made its way south through the Atlantic.
And on a previous 12-night luxury cruise between Scotland, Scandinavia and St Petersburg last September, around 130 people on the Black Watch caught a sickness and diarrhoea bug.
The vessel, which can hold 804 passengers, stopped near Isla Picton close to the Argentine border around 80km north of Cape Horn this morning, a spokeswoman for Suffolk-based Fred Olsen said, because of a "technical issue with the ship's steering gear".
"It was necessary to anchor the ship in order to investigate the problem, and this is now in the process of being rectified," she said.
"All the relevant authorities and port agent were informed of the need to anchor the ship in order to make the necessary investigations, and guests have been kept updated on developments throughout the day."
The ship is expected to continue its 114-night "South American and World Voyage" cruise after repairs are completed.
Its next port of call is Valparaiso in Chile, where it is expected to arrive on February 15.
According to the Fred Olsen website, the 205m ship carries a crew of 330 as well as passengers.
It says the vessel is "sleek and intimate" and was voted Best for Entertainment in the small ships category at the 2012 Cruise Critic website's Cruisers' Choice UK Awards.
The company spokeswoman said the passenger died after falling overboard in rough seas after the ship left Rio de Janeiro.
"The ship turned around immediately and returned to search the area," she said.
"A body was sighted floating in the water, but due to the bad sea conditions, with waves of up to three metres and 30-knot winds, it was not possible for the ship to recover the body.
"The circumstances of the incident are being investigated fully, and Fred Olsen is working closely with all the relevant international authorities.
"The guest's family have been informed."

It may have a short tray, but its versatility is enormous.
The Yakima Boa Bike Mount fits a wider range of crossbar spreads(32"-50") with a roataing wheel tray. The Boa provides great stability with it's sleek fork design, and attaches quickly with a locking Long Throw Skewer. Mounts equally well to round or square crossbars. Lockable with SKS cores-sold seperately.

works great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Works great and does its job. I have gone up to 80 mph for 1 - 3 hours. i would suggest buying the lock for the extra money. Use it on my Rhino Rack that i switch from my Nissan Murano to my Acura TL.
Simple and Sturdy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This mount has served me well for a few years. It's easy to get your bike on and off, and it's extremely stable. Have driven through 60 mph winds and many storms without any problems. I've found that adjusting the front mount can be difficult when switching out bikes with different fork sizes, but if you ride the same bike it's a non-issue.
Very simple bike mount.
Simply the Best!!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love these Yakima Boa, they have a very low profile, very discrete on the car and very secure. I have two of these and they hold the bikes very secure. I thought at first they were less secure than the others but have been prove wrong.
great rack...
Got it, slapped in on my cross bars, LOVE the size vs. my sprocket rocket. Easy enough to put on. One problem. Smallish car (recommends) 28" spread between the crossbars, needed about 38" for my 29er to fit the boa = no go. Plus my Kenda Nevegals are too fat for the tray. Soo back to the warehouse it goes.
This is a great rack, but probably better suited for a long vehicle (wagon, suv, etc) and/or a smaller bike. Maybe ad a note up top on what width tires the tray can accommodate?
4 stars instead of 5 just cause of slight lack of versatility.
If the shoe fits, wear it!
I have this rack rack for a fews months now and I am impressed. I had a $400 hitch rack on my last car and the Boa is just as stable and secure. I have 2 bike mounts and I will probably trade out my other for the Boa. Of course my car fits my bikes wheel base perfectly, so I haven't had a problem with that fit. It is a great rack at a good price. If your car will fit your bikes wheel base. I would also recommend a front tire mount for easy transportation.
Used for a long-time
If you can get your cross bars far enough apart on your car to use these, I think they are a great fork mount for the price. I've used them for years, with no problems. Long lasting. I like their simplicity.
Cheap, but make sure the rack is right for you!
The main problem with this rack is that is is not very adjustable. If you have a smaller car, or one with minimally adjustable crossbars, then you may not be able to have the rear piece far enough back to carry a full sized bike. With a tray rack, your tire can be behind the back bar, as it will sit in the tray.
This is pretty much the same rack as the Copperhead, except with the 2-part tray. For only $39 more, I think the Copperhead is a better deal... unless you want to be able to take your rack off without taking the tray off! The tray racks seem more stable to me.
Starcraft Spacestar Yakima rack
Good for long trips
I used these on trips from Jersey to Maine and also from San Diego to Yosemite with nary a mishap except outside of Bishop when I forgot the bikes were on top and drove under a low thing in a parking lot and whoosh the whole rack came off the roof... but the BOA still held the bikes.
Notice the difference between the Boa in Nestor Ruiz's photo and the Backcountry item. One has little grippy teeth, as on the inside surfaces of your wheel skewers, and the other (newer?) is smooth and shiny. The smooth ends on the new locking skewer will hold tight on new bike forks with either a dished-out shape like on a front suspension fork, or the little safety bumps on road bikes some folks call "lawyer's knobs". But if your bike fork is older and smooth, be sure to shut the clamp really tight. I found my fork ends moved up a little bit after some miles in cross winds and bumping over some railroad tracks. That never happened with our old, old predecessor to the Boa, which had regular wheel skewers.
Boa "squeezes" other mounts to death!
I likey the Boa. It is small, simple to use, more versatile, more aerodynamic, less ugly than trays, and oodles cheaper too. If you trust your face to the front wheel cam locks when you are riding around on your bike, no reason not to trust the same concept when it is attached to your roof. I have not used on any extended long distances yet, and actually have not even broke 60 mph yet(have not needed to yet), but so far has held up real nice. It is also a lot quieter sans bike than a tray as well. Installed on 07 GMC Envoy. Muy bueno!
Boa Versatility
I utilize Yakima Q-bars on a luxury car with Malone saddles for my Hobie Kayak. I recently purchased a Specialized Roubaix carbon fiber bike and I needed a way to transport it in a secure manner. Up to the point of the bike purchase I liked the idea of being able to install or remove the bars from my car in just a few seconds and I wanted to keep it that way. After careful research I was able to determine that the Boa's were the only solution in keeping my current configuration intact and it works great. I am now looking to install a second unobtrusive Boa for my wife's bike. I will then be able to have a Kayak and two bikes on the car completely secure with the Yakima locks and if I wish I can go back to the luxury mode in just a matter of a minute or two with no tools or hassle.
Great rack for the price
Installation was easy on my VW Passat wagon. Is just as secure as other "normal" racks with trays, and I think this looks less messy on the car, also makes it easy to take off the rear wheel mount when I'm not using it to help gas mileage a bit. Everything about it feels very solid and even the little design details seem very well thought out. I think I'll be getting another one soon.
good, but not the best for small cars
A rack with a tray mount may be better for small cars. I have a Honda Civic and my 15.5" bike is about all this rack can handle without resting the rear tire on the roof of the car. I've found tray mounts to be easier when I'm loading bikes by myself.
Otherwise, rack works great!
Tight, small, and convenient
Aptly named, the Boa stays tight. I have had both my mountain bike and my road bike on at speeds in excess of 80mph on the highway with heavy side winds and the bikes stay solid (although I would recommend strapping them down as tight as you can). I have also used the Thule Velo Vise Tray, but this rack system is way tighter!!! Works equally well on my Thule square crossbar. The only inconvenience I have come across is that you have to move your crossbars to adjust for different bike lengths so I would recommend this rack only if you are carrying the same bike(s) all the times...although the rear strap does adjust slightly if you need to carry bikes with varying wheel spacing (for me, a mountain bike and a road bike). Good rack, easy to use, and not bulky like a tray.
Excellent Service
Very satisfied with product, pricing, and good selection.
Excellent mount
This is a great mount for smaller cars and adapts very well to switching on the fly to a longer car. Gets the front tire off the bike for great stability and security. You can be completely confident with your bike on this rack which was something I really worried about. If you dont have enough space to put your bike tire in your trunk or in the car with you I suggest buying a wheel fork tire mount to store your tire up on top of your car (keeps the inside cleaner)
would this work with aeroblades?
Hi, is it possible to use Yakima Boa Bike Mount in my MegaWarrior Basket ? I want to get two of them. Based on the image we can clearly see a bike over the basket so despite It doesn't has bars I guess is possible to be attached to the basket front bar and some of the bars in the rear (My Basket is attached to a Jeep Patriot original bars and I guess are not compatible with)
Hope to have a quick response, Thanks in advance,,, and lets go Biking

I have a Yakima rack on the top of my Starcraft Spacestar pop-up. It has 5 mounting locations attached to a bar running across the front of the camper. There is another solid bar running across the back end of the roof. It must be close to 12 feet away from the front bar. Have any of you seen anything like it? I'm not the original owner, and I don't know much more than what I see.
Sounds like maybe the back bar should be moveable? Can you or have you tried sliding it forward so the back bar could be used to support that back end of the bikes mounted on the front part?

Will this rack fit on a 1999 Dodge Minivan factory roof rack? Do I need any other tools to use this item or do I just buy the rack?
Most fork mount roof racks aren't compatible with factory rack crossbars (the aero/wing shape). If you have round or square crossbars, you're golden.Check the Yakima 'Fit My Car' page to show you exactly what you need:http://yakima.com/dealer.aspx

Would this fit my 08 Jeep Patriot with factory racks and cross bars
By itself, no. Use Yakima's Car Rack Configurator to find out what you'd need. Most likely you'd need the Universal MightyMount. But there are better options in my opinion, like the Forklift, for using factory bars.

Snooki's Getting Married (or Not)
"Snooki's Getting Married" is the headline in In Touch Weekly, the tabloid you buy when the supermarket is out of People, Us Weekly, Star, National Enquirer, and even OK!. Except there is absolutely no truth to it.
Here's what Snooki told the magazine, ""I'm not thinking it may happen, I know. I'm just waiting for him to ask. I'm 24, I've had all the fun I'm ever going to have in my life. I found the right guy, and I'm just waiting for him." So, Snooki says she's getting married...as soon as her boyfriend, you know, actually proposes. That kind of means that she's not getting married at all. I know I've oversold a headline or two in my time, but this is just crazy.
It's like me saying, "Hey, everyone Ricky Martin and I are getting married. You know, as soon as we meet and fall in love and he proposes and I move into his compound and learn Spanish and shake his bon bon and adopt his kids. Once all of that happens, we're totally getting married. Yup, it's gonna happen. Just wait."

It was Friday evening, a little over 24 hours before a featherweight championship bout in Las Vegas that the UFC was hyping as a superfight. But the chatter in the various online meeting places of mixed martial arts fans was about a different fight, one that took place nearly two weeks earlier and 6,000 miles away.
The circulating rumor that Vitor Belfort had failed a drug test following a Jan. 19 victory eventually reached Michael Bisping, who had a vested interest in the matter because he was Belfort's opponent in that middleweight bout in Sao Paolo, Brazil. In fact, had Bisping won that night, he'd have earned a shot at the division's champion, Anderson Silva. But the Brit had his hopes doused and his senses scrambled by a second-round head kick that led to a Belfort TKO.
Now Bisping was wondering if he'd been in a fair fight. "About a certain someone who I fought recently failing his drug test," he wrote on Twitter. "I hope it's not true."
Well, it's not.
UFC president Dana White insisted over the weekend that while there had been an "irregular" test result, it did not involve Belfort. And on Wednesday the fight promotion issued a press release announcing that the failed drug test belonged to lightweight Thiago Tavares, whose results showed the presence of the anabolic steroid Drostanolone. The substance did not exactly enhance the 28-year-old Brazilian's performance, as he was knocked out in less than two minutes by Khabib Nurmagomedov. Tavares was handed a nine-month suspension by the UFC, which assisted the new Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA, or Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission, in overseeing regulatory aspects of the event.
However, that's not the end of the story. In the same press release, the UFC revealed that Belfort competed while undergoing an approved regimen of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Vitor has been evasive whenever questions about TRT have been raised. And when he met with reporters prior to Saturday night's fights in Las Vegas, and Bisping's accusatory tweet was mentioned, the 37-year-old implied that what you see is all natural. "I think people get jealous," he said with a smile, "when a guy at my age is destroying these people getting title shots."
Jealous, perhaps, or maybe just uncomfortable. Belfort has broken no rules. Neither has Chael Sonnen, Dan Henderson, Quinton Jackson, Frank Mir or anyone on the growing list of MMA fighters who've received athletic commission exemptions to use TRT to maintain their testosterone levels. But make no mistake: Legal or not, that's a performance enhancing substance, allowing an aging veteran to punch and kick like a younger man. And when you see a KO like the one Belfort put on Bisping, you've got to wonder when this sport will take a stand. What's at risk in MMA, after all, is much greater than in other sports. The worst thing a baseball player on a PED can do is wreck some pitcher's ERA. An enhanced fighter poses a far scarier threat.

DD blew past Kobe a few times in that game, twice using spin moves. Why is it Raps fans seem to think the only players who aren't busts are the ones with obvious HOF potential?
BTW Jordan didn't dominate the L from game 1. He was a very good volume scorer who relied on athletic ability at first. He learned (over the following 5 years) how to shoot with range, how to incorporate the passing game and most importantly how to defend. He wasn't GOAT right from the get-go.
