Round 4 kicked off last night with the Sydney Roosters overcoming traditional rivals South Sydney Ra...
21 hours ago
The Newcastle Knights are heading in the right direction, despite the loss of key players to rival clubs from next year, according to their media manager Stephen Crowe.
The former first grade forward and 1997 ARL premiership winner said the club?s limited activity on the player market, in preference for retaining local talent, is all part of the club?s charter.
?By producing our own local champions we have seen 14 players elevated to Kangaroo status, including the world?s best,? Crowe said.
?We have two premiership trophies in the cabinet.?
Writing in the club?s game-day publication, Crowe called on supporters to hold their nerve after a forgettable year for the first grade side.
The Knights? administration have come under criticism from fans after the departure of representative players Ben Kennedy (Manly) and Timana Tahu (Parramatta), and rising playmaker Michael Ennis (St George) for 2005.
The criticism comes despite the club securing the signatures of star halfback Andrew Johns, stand-in halfback Kurt Gidley and in-form Melbourne Storm forward Kirk Reynoldson.

The Harrison County Fillies entered the soccer match in Frankfort Monday night with a two-game winning streak against some very good competition and a 2-2-1 season record. The Franklin County Flyers had beaten their last three opponents by 10-0 scores en route to a 5-2 record against the tough Lexington schools. The Flyers defeated the Fillies by a 4-2 score after a tough battle with the Fillies scoring on penalty kicks.
"We have to get to the point where we eliminate the big plays and we can win games like this one," commented Coach Mark Carroll after Friday's 34-7 loss to Belfry. "It's a learning process and we just didn't come up with the big defensive plays when we needed them."

On May 1, a landmark that long has dominated the Northeast Philadelphia skyline will go dark, and when the lights fade away at what once had been the Nabisco bakery at Roosevelt Boulevard and Byberry Road, almost 300 jobs will disappear.
Union reps of the employees who will lose their jobs early next year when what used to be the old Nabisco plant closes have not yet met with the Boulevard and Byberry facility's owner to negotiate severance and other benefits.
Echoing elected officials' call for a boycott of Oreos and other snack foods made by Mondelez International, the union whose members will lose their jobs when the company closes its Northeast Philadelphia plant next year also is asking the public not to buy the company's products.
State Sen. Mike Stack said Oreos are his wife's favorite cookie, but he's not going to buy them anymore.
More than 350 jobs will be lost when the old Nabisco bakery at the Boulevard and Byberry closes early next year, lawmakers are saying.
An in-house announcement last week that the company that owns the old Kraft plant at Byberry and the Boulevard was considering closing it sent city and state officials scrambling to find out what they could do to save the large bakery's almost 300 union jobs and keep Oreos baking in the Northeast.
State Sen. Mike Stack, state Reps. Kevin and Brendan Boyle and bakers' union leaders today promised to do everything they can to make sure the half-century-old former Kraft plant at Byberry and the Boulevard doesn't close, taking away the smell of baking Oreos and about 300 union jobs.
Guzzinati and Lazar both said the company and union have concluded bargaining related to the closing.
The last workers will leave on May 1, which will be the final day of production, he said.

I like the idea of a backpacking trip for the spring hang....
I like the idea of a backpacking trip for the spring hang....
MRT, Nord House, North Manitou, LOL Pigeon River, AuSable river has nice trails on it, Hoist lake just to name a few im sure there or more but again its a group thing.
MRT/NCT Loop - There are plenty of options for a hang, with multiple put in points and even a float option.
Pigeon River - Been a long time, not sure if the backcountry camping would accomodate a big group
Manitous - Might be a little early for the boat and WX
Hoist Lakes - Multiple put in points, there is prby enough camping room around Byron lake, not sure of the othes. LOTS OF TICKS!!!!!
Nordhouse - Equals AWESOME! Plenty of camping, only one real put in.
Another option would be Bowman Lake on the NCT west a Baldwin (Lake County), plenty of camping, multiple put in points.
Just my two cents......
Nordhouse is good, but I hate hate hate the sand! All though it probably won't be as bad with a hammock. I love the manitous, but it doesn't look like the ferry starts until may, I am all about going in may by the way sounds warmer than any other month, but know that is not a factor for the rest of you. MRT is always a good place. I have never been to Hoist lakes, or pigeon river. I am honestly game for any thing. We should narrow it down and do a vote:-)
Shake shake shake! I never camp on the sand because of this. Plus, most of the people doing that are breaking the rules as they are well within 250' of the trails or 400' of the water. Oh well, I prefer privacy and playing by the rules anyway.
I just got back from there...cold and windy! Had to hunker down east of the dunes in the pines. Great spots to hang!
p.s. Hoist Lakes is one heck of a place to save for a Fall Hang: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=aaceae761f

Nice photos, Markr6! I'm favoring the MRT/NCT or Bowman Lake area so far.
Actually at Nordhouse there is no 250'-400' rule. The only rule is to not camp on the vegitation on the dunes. Not to mention that most of the best spots are already over 500' from the water.
We usually camp in the lee of a fore dune and back dune, so we stay out of the wind. Pretty choice spot.
I've seen conflicting measurements everywhere, but the actual rules can be found here per the forest service:
"Camp on Durable Surfaces-
Campsites must be at least: 100 feet from the trail, 400 feet from Lake Michigan and 200 feet from Nordhouse Lake."
You'll find this in almost any wilderness, park, rec. area, etc. Although some people don't like it, it really protects natural resources and provides a more enjoyable experience for everyone else. i.e. you don't have to see some fat guy in his tighty whities in the morning camped 25' off the trail!
Although it's nice to get a view of the lake, I sometimes like to get on some high spots right in the middle of the area near the old rr grade. Deer everywhere!
For a Spring hang, Nordhouse or Hoist Lakes sound good to me. Never heard of Bowman Lake, so that would be nice to try

text: The Alien Killing Video Game That Makes You Long for the 80sEd Grabianowski11/26/08 11:20amFiled to: Classic GamesXenophobeAliensArcadeGamesBally midwayxenosFace-hugger29EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The year: 1987. The place: a local bowling alley's arcade room. The target: an oddly shaped cabinet in the far corner of the smoky, strobing game area, where three surly teenagers were hunched over the control panel, forearms twitching as they blasted their way through room after room of slimy aliens. I nervously waited my turn to play what might be the greatest arcade game of all time — Xenophobe.This classic arcade game by Bally Midway was essentially Aliens: The Video Game, except they never bothered to buy the license. The players represented space explorers who were sent to clear various space colonies from alien infestation. The premise by itself is awesome, but Xenophobe did more with it than any other game of the era. For one thing, you could play cooperatively with up to three players, each with his or her own section of screen. You could wander the levels indepedently, but also team up. Xenophobe had a bunch of elements that are familiar in modern console games, but were revolutionary at the time. You could choose from among nine different characters. A bunch of different weapons were available, from laser rifles to flame throwers. There were even useful objects that could be used to accomplish side quests, like repairing the grenade dispenser or using the teleporter. The aliens themselves (Xenos) started as eggs, hatched into face-huggers, and eventually grew into warriors. There were alien queens to battle, too (no mechanical exo-skeleton, though). Each level of the game was a persistent world — if you dropped a weapon and left the room, it would still be there when you came back. And if one of your buddies got killed by an alien acid-spitter, a dismayed looking skeleton would sit there for the rest of the game. Xenophobe was ported to several home console systems, but back then, home consoles paled in comparison to the arcade version. No one's Atari or NES could match the hi-res graphics or three-player cooperative gameplay of a true Xenophobe cabinet. Ironically, as you sit back in the comfort of your home playing Gears of War 2 or Fallout 3, it's Xenophobe you can thank. Thanks, Xenophobe!

India v Zimbabwe - Jun 18, 1983 | Scorecard | |
ODI records | Results | High totals | High scores | Most runs | Best bowling | Most wickets | Partnerships | Statsguru | ||
Records index |
The Nevill Ground is one of the most picturesque remaining on the county circuit and has been constantly used by Kent since they first played on it in 1901. The festival week, which usually takes place in June, is notable for the plethora of purple blooms on the rhododendron bushes around the perimeter. The ground itself is situated at Hawkenbury, on the southern outskirts of Tunbridge Wells. It is currently the smallest ground (by nominal seating capacity) regularly visited by Kent County Cricket Club. The London to Hastings railway line passes close to the ground; hence the bowling ends are the Pavilion End and the Railway End. Amenities at the ground are provided mainly from large marquees erected specifically for the first-class fixtures. A souvenir shop, beer tent, several snack bars and a small bookmakers' office are available at most first team games. Permanent toilet facilities are available at the rear of the Bluemantles stand. These are augmented by temporary facilities during first team matches.
The ground has staged one ODI, during the 1983 World Cup, and a remarkable game it was. India, who went on to win the tournament, were reduced to 78 for 7 by Zimbabwe before Kapil Dev blasted 175 to guide them to a 31-run victory.
In 1913 the pavilion was burned down by suffragettes and many of Kent's records were lost in the fire. In 1914-18 the ground was used to house the cavalry and the pitches suffered for some time afterwards.

Apax Said in Talks to Sell Travelex to Abu Dhabi Investor Group
Stefania Bianchi, Ruth David and Kiel PorterApax Partners LLP is in talks to sell a majority stake in Travelex Holdings Ltd. to an Abu Dhabi-based group of investors for about 500 million pounds ($843 million), said two people with knowledge of the matter.
Bavaguthu Raghuram Shetty, an Indian-born entrepreneur, Centurion Investment and Infinite Investment LLC, two firms owned by Abu Dhabi's bin Butti family, are in talks to buy a controlling stake in the chain of currency-exchange centers, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren't authorized to speak publicly. A deal may be announced as soon as this week, the people said.
Apax had been poised to take Travelex public in an initial public offering. The London-based private-equity firm bought a majority stake in Travelex in 2005 in a deal that valued the company at about 1.1 billion pounds. Travelex, led by Chief Executive Officer Peter Jackson, sold assets including a card-program management unit to MasterCard Inc. in 2011 and a business-payments unit to Western Union Co. to focus on its consumer business.
Private-equity firms typically pool money from pension plans and endowments with a mandate to buy companies within five to six years, then sell them and return the money and a profit after 10 years. The firms usually charge a management fee of as much as 2 percent and keep 20 percent of the profits from investments.
Officials at Apax declined to comment. Representatives of Travelex and Centurion didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

Is it time for your support center to put pcAnywhere out to pasture? This competitive document details key differences that make Bomgar a better solution for enterprise remote support.
Is pcAnywhere Suitable for the Current Technology Landscape?
When your company has pcAnywhere installed on hundreds or thousands of end systems, it may seem easier to leave things as they are. But with Symantec's recent announcement of End of Life for pcAnywhere after seven years without a major upgrade, enterprise support centers need a more advanced solution to avoid falling behind the curve. Even in 2009, Gartner stated that "Legacy remote control tools are incapable of supporting increasingly complex environments, and companies must find new ways to provide support services to users." [PC Remote Control Security: Risks & Recommendations]
In addition, pcAnywhere is not built to deal with the security threats in the current IT landscape. No centralized management or auditing is possible, and connecting across the internet requires punching holes in the company firewall. This may be fine for supporting grandparents, but global corporations can't afford that risk. According to Trustwave Spiderlabs, "Remote access remained the most widely used method of infiltration in 2012. Unfortunately for victim organizations, the front door is still open." [2013 Global Security Report]
We compare Bomgar with pcAnywhere by looking at the following:

You know, this is America, you can buy those movies, on DVD even!
I feel bad for you dandy. Tell you what, since you didn't get to see both I'll tell you now how they both ended
The Grinch comes to understand the True Meaning of Christmas and turns out to be an all-round swell guy....and Rudolph, you know how he had that strange glowing nose? Turns out that liability was actually an asset when he ended up guiding Santa's sleigh on a foggy Xmas eve. In fact, he went down in history because of it!
Now you no longer have to go through life wondering wondering...
A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. -Douglas Adams
What's the name of that Christmas special with "Mr. Heat Meiser" and "Mr. Cold Meister"? You know the one I mean? And the Heat Meister has flaming hair and tries to stop Rudolph or something?
That was my favorite and you NEVER see that one on anymore.
And not to be picky but I'm with luckless - it's not the same without the right commercials. Dolly Maddison for Charlie Brown, Hostess for the Rankin-Bass stuff.
"...I would never try to tick Hink off. He kinda intimidates me. He's quite butch, you know." - Maister
Me, I was always partial to Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Dealt with the origins of Santa (the myth) and unlike many of the other classic holiday specials, this one featured a rockin' 'contemporary' (sure, it sounds horribly dated now) soundtrack complete with 1970 hallucinogenic-style animation to accompany the future Ms. Claus' own musical number.
Slightly OT, you ever hear of a Jewish holiday childrens special?
Maister - We Need A Poll
(but you have to find all the different holiday specials including Shrek Deck the Halls which was also on last night opposite Rudolph)

Regarding holiday children's specials, I look forward to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the Charlie Brown Christmas the most. The rest, I could care less.
However, there is a much bigger selection of holiday movies I have to see this time of year, every year: Home Alone, Home Alone 2, Christmas Vacation, The Santa Clause, It's a Wonderful Life, Holiday Inn, and White Christmas.

A Charlie Brown Christmas
The Little Drummer Boy
A Christmas Story
Christmas Vacation
Frosty the Snowman
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
White Christmas
It's a Wonderful Life
The Santa Clause
Home Alone
And I watch them at my leisure. Back when I was a kid and young adult, I was a slave to the t.v. and sometimes missed THE ONE SHOWING A YEAR when I had something I couldn't get out of, like doing lighting for a h.s. play, and then I missed it for a whole year! Well, back then it was just a few of the above. Before cable, before VHS players, before netflix....
Last edited by Zoning Goddess; 02 Dec 2010 at 10:29 PM. Reason: addition
One more reason Thanksgiving gets overlooked/hosed is that there really isn't an iconic animated children's special associated with the holiday (sure, there's Peanuts Thanksgiving but as with so many other things in the Halloween/Thanksgiving/Xmas holiday triumvirate this special is greatly overshadowed by the Great Pumpkin and Charlie Brown Christmas institutions)
Thanksgiving is the time for the Macy*s parade to start it all out (anyone getting their photos taken there? ) fpllowed by the NFL (Packers at Lions).
BTW, I'll have to see if my favorite sports bar will be having a good turkey wing special for the late game!
Also, is anyone going to be answering their really, really early reveille for the Black Friday™ shopping maneuvers?
No thank you to Black Friday (I work that day, and hate shopping)
Re: Maister's comment on lack of Thanksgiving specials: Some networks use to run The Mouse and the Mayflower back in the 80's when I was little(er); not iconic, but better than nothing. And there were dozens of Peanuts specials, most of which I've never seen or heard of.
"I've been bamboozled!" --BurgherMeister MeisterBurgher
I've been scrounging around Amazon and other places to score a VHS or DVD copy of The Mouse and the Mayflower. I have found a few but they are prohibitively expensive! I do, however, own Peanuts Thanksgiving now, and alsopiratedobtained a copy of 'William Bradford and the First Thanksgiving'. I thought Junior might be a little young to appreciate it, but he seemed to like it.
People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, Where are you from? doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

A Hundred Flowers (Hardcover)
August 2012 Indie Next List
"The words of Chairman Mao, 'Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools of thought contend' prove to be a trap for Sheng, a high school teacher who dares to speak out against the Communist Party. He is imprisoned, leaving his wife and young son to make their home with his father, a retired university professor. Sharing their story through alternating voices, Tsukiyama is a masterful craftsman and storyteller, and the reader is quickly caught up in the turmoil of the early days of the Cultural Revolution in China."
— Elizabeth Merritt, Titcomb's Bookshop, East Sandwich, MA
A powerful new novel about an ordinary family facing extraordinary times at the start of the Chinese Cultural Revolution
China, 1957. Chairman Mao has declared a new openness in society: "Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools of thought contend." Many intellectuals fear it is only a trick, and Kai Ying's husband, Sheng, a teacher, has promised not to jeopardize their safety or that of their young son, Tao. But one July morning, just before his sixth birthday, Tao watches helplessly as Sheng is dragged away for writing a letter criticizing the Communist Party and sent to a labor camp for "reeducation."
A year later, still missing his father desperately, Tao climbs to the top of the hundred-year-old kapok tree in front of their home, wanting to see the mountain peaks in the distance. But Tao slips and tumbles thirty feet to the courtyard below, badly breaking his leg.
As Kai Ying struggles to hold her small family together in the face of this shattering reminder of her husband's absence, other members of the household must face their own guilty secrets and strive to find peace in a world where the old sense of order is falling. Once again, Tsukiyama brings us a powerfully moving story of ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances with grace and courage.

Praise For…
"I was following this family almost as though it were my own and stayed all the way to the end of their story." —All Things Considered, NPR
"The tenderness [Tsukiyama] shows for her characters creates a sympathetic portrait of intellectuals trying to live honestly in the shadow of oppression." —Publishers Weekly
"Tsukiyama's close attention to detail and descriptive language paint a vivid picture of the daily life of Kai Ying and her family. Tsukiyama gently envelops the reader into the quiet sadness that permeates the entire household while weaving in the multiple hardships the family faces under communism.

"Best-selling author Gail Tsukiyama, recipient of PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Literary Award, takes us back to those times not by painting a panorama but in her thoughtful and forthright way by showing the consequences for one family." —Library Journal

The Army Is Giving the Boot to New Black Berets Made in China WASHINGTON--The "Made in China" label will not be welcome in the U.S. Army as the service outfits about half a million troops with new black berets, the Pentagon said Tuesday.
"The Army chief of staff has determined that U.S. troops shall not wear berets made in China or berets made with Chinese content," Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz said.
"Therefore, I direct the Army and the Defense Logistics Agency to take appropriate action to recall previously distributed berets and dispose of the stock," he said in a statement.
The Pentagon gave no reason for Tuesday's move. But the announcement came on the heels of rising tensions between China and the United States over the collision of a Navy spy plane and a Chinese fighter jet April 1. Moreover, it followed criticism from Congress of the Defense Department's decision to let contracts totaling $29.6 million go to companies in China and elsewhere to make the black caps, instead of to American firms. The Army said the new berets will be ready for use June 14, the service's 226th birthday.

"Publicity is the very soul of justice. It is the keenest spur to exertion, and the surest of all guards against improbity. It keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial."
However, the discretion is there and an example of its exercise is provided by Mr Justice Kitchin's judgment in Prince of Wales v Associated Newspapers Ltd. [2006] EWHC 11 (Ch) (13 Jan 2006). This is a claim in which HRH is suing the publisher of the Mail of Sunday for breach of confidence and copyright infringement in respect of a journal that he kept of the visit that he made to Hong Kong at about the time of the handover to the Peoples' Republic found their way into the hands of the defendant publisher.
The judge decided to make an order under this rule for the following reasons:
(1) The documents in issue were closely related to the very subject matter which the prince was seeking to protect by means of this action and which were at least arguably confidential.
(2) The order is to last only until the disposal of Prince Charles's summary judgment application which is due to come on within a month or so.
(3) The order should make it easier to hold the trial in public.
It will be interesting to see how often this case is referred to in future.

Just booked into this tour, who else is in for the 10th July 2014?
Also, I'm planning on getting to LA a few days before and also plan on staying/travelling on the east coast after this trip is done. Anyone want to catch up and be travel buddies either pre or post tour? I'm travelling solo for the first time, so any company would be awesome.

Comment Many a medical tool has gone to never come back (Score 3, Informative) 615
Due to changes in medical knowledge, plenty of 'tools' used in medical practices have fallen into disuse because the underlying medical theory has been dis-proven.
As an example, I present to you the Tobacco smoke enema device. How many of these do you think are still in use today? Do you really want tobacco smoke blown up your backside when you just have been pulled out of the water with a set of bellows and a pipe? Yet in the 17th and 18th centuries they hung these things all along the river Thames to help 'warm' people just pulled out of the water.

". . . for in this queer world of ours, fatherly and motherly hearts often beat warm and wise in the breasts of bachelor uncles and maiden aunts. . ."--Louisa May Alcott, Eight Cousins
Informal Poll
I might have mentioned a while back that my stereo is on its way out. First, the tape decks went, which really sucks because I have a ton of tapes, many of which were made by my late friend J when we were in high school and college. (Yes, at some point I will be getting a digital converter but that's a ways off.) Then, the remote conked out. A lot of the good functions--CD shuffle, sleep, I can't even remember the rest anymore--were on the remote, so they were lost. Basically, to operate it I have to open the TV stand door, and leave it open. And then bump into the door a million times because it's glass. . . or shoo the cat out of the stand. So warm and cavernous.
It's been at the top of my wish list to replace the stereo. There was an impromptu training for my side job this morning, and I noticed on my way that I was passing by the electronics store where my parents bought their TV (and mine). On the way home, I stopped in to check out the audio.
Did I ever luck out--the first salesperson to say hi to me turned out to be a huge audiophile. Thousands of dollars of audio equipment in his collection, including a top-of-the-line turntable. This guy was serious about music. So I told him my predicament, and that in light of the fact that there aren't many mini-systems with tape decks and/or with the capacity to play more than one CD, or even mini-systems in general, I was contemplating building my own system. He showed me some options.
Definitely I will get what I want if I build my own system. But at what cost?
Receiver--this one, I think, he showed me on the computer. $250.
CD carousel--6 discs--I currently have 3. $220.
Cassette decks--there's only one--surprise! $200.
I can use my current speakers--saves money, I guess. He told me that if a receiver's good, it can make even junky speakers sound amazing. Mine, believe it or not, aren't too junky.
The setback is that he had every component except the receiver in stock. I took his business card and said I had some thinking to do.
I didn't mention I had polling to do. So. . . about $700 when all is said and done. What do you think?
I know I fret about money, but I'll have some money left from my tax refund(s) after paying for my new brakes, and I've been stashing away some of the money from singing. These pieces are good quality and should last. I take good care of my stuff. I've had my Phillips minisystem for about eight years now (well, seven good ones, anyway) so these could go the same or longer. There really aren't that many options out there.
Should I do it?
Or should I keep looking, even though there aren't that many places left to look?

I'd go for it since there are many other places to look. I try to remind myself when I want to go on some sort of great adventure that my time and my gas costs money too.

I don't know what to tell you as I just have a little boom box and it is okay by me. I have had this boom box for 15 years, eight years does not sound long enough for a system to last! Good luck.

$700 sounds like a lot for components. Don't get locked into Onkyo ... For example, I'm looking on New Egg right now and there's a Yamaha (a better brand name IMHO) 5.1 channel home receiver for $150. New Egg carries that same Onyo model for $170. Here's a stereo model from a company called Sherwood for $110. Not a well-known brand, but most home audio magazines give them great reviews.
New Egg has a Sherwood 5-disc CD player for $135, and they have a Sony cassette deck for $90.
By me estimation, that'd be about $410 buck after shipping if you decided to get these products. But I'm not saying to get these specifically, I'm just saying to shop around a bit. New Egg is a great site, Deal News is another, even Amazon has great deals.
The thing about buying components is to not get stuck thinking you have to buy all the same brand. Yeah, Onkyo makes pretty good stuff, but so does almost everyone these days. I disagree somewhat with your salseman. While the receiver is the heart of your system, the quality of your speakers means a lot. A receiver is only going to do so much. Your perception of sound has a lot to do with sound pressure levels and your speakers' sensitivity directly impacts that.
My suggestion is to shop around. That Sherwood receiver I linked to is a good deal, but there are plenty of others out there. Whatever you do, I think using your current speakers is probably the way to go, especially if they aren't too junky. Though, if you find yourself wanting to upgrade in the future there are some great discount speakers out there.
For me, what I found works best for my situation, I bought a Yamaha sound bar that has a separate subwoofer. The bar has a built-in decoder. It's hooked up to my TV and computer. So, it runs all the audio when I'm watching movies and I play all my music from my primary desktop. It'll never be quite as good of fidelity as separates, but it is very good and is so much simpler than trying to run all those speakers that I used to.
Anyway, that's my $0.02. Good luck. - 4/5/10, 10:54 AM
- Mr. Bingley said...
to agree 100% what cullen said: shop around. just peruse amazon and you'll see you can do a lot better, and it might give you some ideas about what you should get. for example, you might want to look at a receiver that will also double as a home theater receiver when you upgrade that tv...
even if you decide that you want to support a local store you'll be better prepared and informed. - 4/5/10, 8:32 PM

Very interesting comments from all of you!
One thing I will tell you: no refurbished products for me. I have not had luck with those in the past. So that's one thing I'll be looking out for on New Egg and elsewhere. I generally find Amazon frustrating to shop, especially for non-book items. But I'll look anyway. That's actually where I got my current last-gasp stereo. - 4/6/10, 11:17 PM
- Cullen said...
Bad luck on refubs, huh? I have the opposite attitude (and luck, apparently). A refurb gets far more care and inpspection put into it than a brand-new product. I do stay away from refurbs with no warranty though.

Is this the "perfectly accurate" which is also hideously biased, or the "perfectly accurate" which just happens to be pure original research?
The mathematics was done in Poland
. Well, not really. As a couple of examples, Banburismus and many of the techniques used against the German teletype ciphers were novel applications of maths to cryptanalysis developed at Bletchley.
A Polish patriotic myth, I'm afraid. While you're correct to say that Enigma was broken by the Polish, it was *also* broken by the British.
Enigma wasn't an egg: one broken, always broken. On the contrary, you had to find the keys every time they changed, which was at least daily. Worse, the Germans upgraded Enigma with a series of security features between 1932 and 1945 that severely complicated cryptanalysis. By mid-1940, the Polish techniques were obsolete, and so the British invented new ones.
All that's just a long way of saying that there's plenty of glory to go around.

● FavoritesWhether you're listening to music or enjoying a movie at home, many people would say that the room itself is as important as the system if you wish to achieve the best possible results. That is why one of our absolute all-time favorites is a well-designed, wonderful sounding room. So if you already have a great system, and some day you have the opportunity to build or redo an existing room, you are welcome to call us to discuss your project. After you live with a really great room that is well-tailored to go with and do your system full justice you will understand how incredible it can be! Tip: The ideal is to call us before you have the architect draw any plans. That way there will be the fewest possible constraints and compromises necessary with respect to your room design. Goodwin's High End Custom Acoustic Room SystemFor the past decade we have been offering custom-built acoustic room treatment systems based upon sophisticated wood panel arrays and fabric-covered bass traps. We have implemented several different designs, each one unique according to the individual owner's requirements and predilections. Here is a Photo of one of the rooms that we designed and installed in San Francisco. Obviously because these are custom designs there is a vast array of possible design choices, so you and your architect can have a look that integrates well into the overall design of your home. Our Audio #3 room is fully treated in this way and you are welcome to come and experience it firsthand! In addition our Audio 2 room features this system on the front wall in a spectacular English Sycamore figured veneer, with handsome color-coordinated panels and tube traps from ASC. (see photo above right) Performance Acoustics LabsAs a more affordable alternative to going the total custom route, we can do a PAL (Performance Acoustics Labs) modular acoustic room treatment for you. One aspect that is particularly appealing about this acoustic system is that the bass response of the room can be really fine-tuned acoustically (which is the only proper way to do it!) to that specific room in situ as the installation is being done. Many rooms make the music sound muddy because of the overwhelming presence of deleterious room bass modes. But this approach can really clean that problem up and the difference is not subtle. When you hear a room before and after it is treated it really is like night and day! In addition there are many colors and finishes available to complement any decor. Click on the link for more PAL information. ARS stretched fabric acoustical wall treatmentsThis acoustic treatment system is completely stealth, because when you're in the room you don't see any of the acoustic treatment. The reason is that the acoustic treatment is hidden behind special cloth panels that are custom stretched on-site. And unlike other acoustic treatments which are deeper, this system is only 1.25" thick. More. RPG Room Treatment RPG was founded in 1983 by Peter D'Antonio. And shortly thereafter, around 1985 or so, we started working with Peter using his diffusers to treat rooms. RPG now has an extensive catalog of acoustic modules which you can see here. If you have a room project please call for details. The difference between a treated room and an untreated room is like night and day! ASC Room TreatmentBack around 1985 we started working with Art Noxon and his then new company ASC using their Tube Traps. Since then the offerings from ASC have increased in number so that now there is a much larger palette of modular treatment from which to choose. Depending upon the size of your room and your budget, a treatment plan can vary from basic to pretty elaborate. Obviously for any given room there are a variety of ways to construct the walls, floors, and ceiling—as well a variety of ways to treat a room once it is built. Of course most of the rooms that we treat are existing rooms—so there is definitely an advantage in having a larger variety of sizes, shapes, and colors to choose from. You can see the variety of modules from ASC here. If you have a room project please call for details. There is no substitute for a great sounding room! Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC Series 2Berkeley Audio Design manufactures the acclaimed Alpha DAC Series 2. Many people feel that this is the best value in high end D-A converters available today. It can also drive a power amp directly as it features remote control volume. It comes standard with a silver faceplate. Optionally a black faceplate is also available. Berkeley was one of the early supporters of high resolution files, so of course this advanced digital-to-analog converter autosenses and plays all standard PCM formats (44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192kHz at 16, 20 and 24 bits). It also decodes HDCD. Here are larger photos of the front and rear. If you are using this with a music server then you should definitely check out the new Alpha USB which is a USB to AES-EBU converter/reclocker. The Alpha USB is designed to go between your music server and your D-A converter—and as such also acts to electrically isolate the computer from the DAC thus enhancing the level of sound quality produced. Note: For more info on music servers that are completely silent so that you place one next to your Alpha DAC without being distracted by any fan or hard disk noise click here. Then click here for a list of links where you can obtain High Resolution files such as Reference Recordings HRx files, etc. Spectral DMA-400RS Reference Standard mono power amplifierThese new Reference Standard monoblocks simply put is a breakthrough in amplifier design―effortless, pure, transparent, and with excellent transient response. The bass from this amp is powerful and yet totally resolved. Spectral's President, Rick Fryer, personally listens to each unit after it has received 500 hours of burn-in time. Details. Spectral DMA-300RS Reference Standard stereo power amplifier Alternatively there is the new DMA-300RS stereo power amp. This is an amazingly good sounding power amp that you simply have to hear to believe! Some have even proclaimed it to be the best value in high end power amps available today! Spectral DMC-30SV Preamplifier Although the Spectral DMC-30SV can be used with any power amp from any manufacturer—it is a natural mate for either their DMA-400RS monoblocks or the DMA-300RS stereo power amp. Spectral SDR-4000SV CD Player If CD is your source you can add the Spectral SDR-4000SV CD player which will allow you to hear CD's at their finest! Coupled with a Spectral preamp and power amp—everything then comes together to be a perfectly matched system, one that you'll be able to enjoy for many years to come! Basis Work of Art turntableThis turntable simply defies description. You can see and understand how carefully it is designed from a technical point of view. You can measure how well it performs in various parameters. But it is impossible to convey through words what an incredible experience it is to hear your treasured vinyl being played on the Work of Art! Magico Ultimate IIIThis speaker is capable of incredible dynamics yet is still is able to deliver a musical experience of the utmost delicacy. Standing close to 8 feet tall it makes a tremendous visual impact as you can see in the accompanying picture. It is an unabashed absolute all-out assault on the state-of-the-art in loudspeaker design. It is indeed a horn speaker, but not like one you have ever heard. Even if you have disliked the horn-style colorations in every other horn speaker you've ever heard, you won't have that experience when you sit down to audition these. There is much technical info that could be conveyed, but all that is forgotten when you close your eyes and simply listen. What else can be said except that the Ultimate III truly lives up to its name! Room design services for acoustics & viewing environmentsIn the picture above you can see the Magico Ultimate II in a room that we designed and installed in San Francisco. While this room was completely custom, we also offer a variety of acoustic room design services for listening rooms and home theaters that utilize modular acoustic treatments, as well as viewing environment design for video systems. This may include specifications for construction methods and materials, electrical power, HVAC, room dimensions, room boundaries, and acoustic treatments, as well as advice on the positioning of the listener/viewer, speakers, screen, and equipment. Please call for more details. ● Movies!Once you have your home theater set up you will undoubtedly want to add some movies on DVD and Bluray to go with it. Here are some preselected movie collections that come preloaded on NAS RAID hard disk arrays:
In addition here are some preselected movie collections that can be preloaded on to your movie server:
● Music! There are a variety of physical formats available with CD's and LP's being the most common. In addition there are of course downloads—and the exciting new development is that now you can get an ever-increasing number of High Resolution downloads! Then there are variety of ways of playing music. You can select your CD or LP and play them one at a time. Or you can have all of your music accessible in a Music Server and make your own customized playlists. We have a new section of our website devoted to Music Formats and Music Collections that we think you'll enjoy. For once your music system is in place, you'll both want to re-listen to your old collection as well as expand it with some new music. There is a lot of great music in this world—and there is always more to discover! |

Kats looking for small window
Submitted by crecord2010 on
The Kitty Kats lost to Falls City 17-80.
"The girls got down but we were able to do the best we could and kept our heads held high."
The Kitty Kats are 3-5 in district play. There may be a chance for the Kats to play for third seed. If Pettus loses the next two games and the Kats win the next two there may be a tie for third. A tie-breaker will be played to determine who wins the third seed to play in the playoff rounds.
The Kitty Kats play away on Jan 31 against Pettus and will play their last district game at home against Three Rivers of Feb 4.

Hidden NumbersLanguage brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
Hidden in each of the sentences below are the numbers 1 to 10 in words.
For example, "My parents told me to never cross the road without looking." This sentence contains the number 1: "My parents told me tO NEver cross the road without looking." A number might appear in more than one sentence, and the numbers aren't necessarily in order! A number also might be hidden in a larger word. 1. The robins love hiding amongst the smooth reeds. 2. It's always worth looking after your friends, even if they've upset you. 3. Even heavyweight boxers like using soft tissues when they have a cold. 4. To avoid the calf, I veered sharply to the left. 5. The eggs were boxed thirteen instead of a dozen in each baker's delivery box. 6. Having salmon every day for lunch gets a little boring after a while. 7. The attendance at the local football match exceeded last weeks by many thousands. 8. We need to waterproof our boots to make sure we don't get wet. 9. Meeting friends after work allows executives to network effectively. 10. The orchestra sounded magnificent with the many virtuosi xylophonists. What Next?

I hope somebody can help me.
My Q10 get hot very quickly and my battery collapse after 4/5hours.
I need to charge it twice a day. I have tried disabling 4G,Bluetooth and NFC. I am not using APS FB, Twitter, Weather, Linkedin and making very few calls. I have the most recent OS installed : 10.1.0.2309.
Here's a test.... what happens if you turn off the mobile and wifi for an hour? Does the battery temperature stay cool at the end of the hour?
I've seen mobile and wifi scanning in weak locations cause phones to warm and accelerate battery depletion.
Yes, for just an hour or two. The objective is the determine if the problem the battery/heating issue related to poor reception where the phone needs to work harder. This was a problem with a co-worker who had a small carrier with out a building repeater. Once he was outside, his phone work properly. By turning on/off wifi and mobile independently, you isolate the signal problem.

Hello everybody,
i´m a Blackberry fan and chose the Q10 because I wanted to have a "real" keypad. I´ve been using the Q10 since October, and had constantly problems with an overheating (and quickly decaying) battery.
When the problem occurred, Vodafone sent me a new battery. When the problem persisted, they´ve sent me a new phone. The problem still appeared, although it did not happen constantly. By turning the phone off (sometimes by just ripping the battery while the phone is on), the problem would go away, returning from time to time. I couldn´t identify a cause.
In the meantime, my display broke and yesterday I´ve got a new phone. Now guess what ??? The battery is overheating again! I changed the battery against the one from my old one - overheating again !
After the experience above, I believe this is a construction error.
Having said this, now the question: is there a workaround to solve it ???
01-13-2014 09:49 AM - edited 01-13-2014 09:50 AM
It is not a matter of battery or software but the device.
I guess there is a number of q10 in the market with this problem. I have solved it returning the Q10 to Vodafone that replaced me with a new one, with no problem of battery drain and/or overheating.
Now the battery last 2 days, and it warms a little bit if I am using, on stanby mode the mobile is cold.
I tried returning my Q10 at the retailer but it simply says it because of the network setting, i should be only setting it up on 3g so that battery consumption would not be too fast. Well, can anybody help me on this? I just can't figured out how others would find their Q10 alive up to 10-15hours, mine can't even last for 5 hours.


text: Bond Market Perspectives | Week of July 14, 2014 posted 7/17/2014 in Investments Highlights We do not expect the municipal bond market to repeat first half strength over the second half of 2014. A gradual rise in yields to compensate for better growth, a modest rise in inflation, and the start of Fed rate hikes in roughly one year's time will likely pressure bond prices slightly lower through year end. We continue to believe the taxable bond market is likely the main catalyst to the next move in municipal bond prices.Municipal Mid-Year OutlookMunicipal bond investors are likely smiling this summer following a robust first half of 2014. After arocky 2013, 2014 has rewarded investors in municipal debt with the broad Barclays Municipal BondIndex up an impressive 6% over the first half of this year.We do not expect the municipal bond market to repeat first half strength over the second half of 2014. Broad bond market strength, led by higher Treasury prices and lower yields, is likely to fade as the economy continues to rebound from a weak first quarter of 2014. A gradual rise in yields tocompensate for better growth, a modest rise in inflation, and the start of Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hikes in roughly one year's time are likely to pressure bond prices slightly lower over the remainder of 2014.A look at the major drivers of municipal bond performance may indicate how municipal bonds may fare over the second half of 2014.Valuations. Municipal bonds outperformed comparable maturity Treasuries over the first half of2014. Municipal bond prices increased more, and yields declined further, relative to comparableTreasuries leading to lower municipal-to-Treasury yield ratios. The higher the ratio, the moreattractive municipal bonds are relative to Treasuries and vice versa. Lower ratios imply a moreexpensive market. With municipal-to-Treasury yield ratios near the lower end of a four-year range, further valuation improvement over the near term is limited or unlikely. This trend is already likely underway with municipal valuations little changed since late May 2014.Valuations are therefore unlikely to be a major driver of municipal bond performance as they were over the first half of 2014. Municipal bond prices may likely be more influenced by the Treasury prices over the second half of 2014, and the headwinds we anticipate for the taxable bond market may ripple through to the municipal bond market.On a positive note, valuations remain attractive when viewed over a longer-term context [Figure 1]. This is particularly true for long-term municipal bonds, where average yields exceed those ofcomparable Treasuries. While further valuation improvement may be limited in 2014, significantcheapening of valuations is unlikely.Low Supply. A diminished supply of bonds helped drive municipal bond performance during thefirst half, and this favorable factor looks set to remain in place over the remainder of 2014. Municipal bond new issuance was down 16% over the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Still tight state budgets and higher interest costs compared to the first half of 2013 has helped limit issuance. If sustained, the current pace of new issuance would reach $300 billion, among the lowest full-year totals of the past 14 years and barely greater than the depressed issuance during the volatile 2001 and 2011 periods.Limited supply is not a new phenomenon and the municipal bond market has shrunk since peakingin 2010 [Figure 2]. The 2014 deceleration in supply means the municipal bond market is likely tocontinue to shrink in coming months.Diminishing supply comes at a time when the attractiveness of tax-exempt income has been boosted both by higher tax rates that took effect in 2013 and the surcharge on investment income as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Municipal bonds are the only investment exempt from the surcharge, providing an additional tax advantage relative to other fixed income vehicles.Improving Credit Quality. Troubled issuers like Detroit and Puerto Rico garner more than theirfair share of media headlines, but the vast majority of municipal bond issuers have been benefiting from an expanding economy. June 2014 witnessed another uneventful state budget season as rising revenues facilitated all but one state (which suffered only a minor delay) to have a budget in place for states whose new fiscal year begins on July 1, 2014.Default risk, on balance, continues to fade. Data from Municipal Market Advisors (MMA) and theMunicipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) indicate that 24 issuers defaulted over the first sixmonths of 2014 compared to 33 over the same period in 2013. The number of defaulted issuerscontinues to decline after peaking in 2009.Although broad municipal credit quality is improving, Puerto Rico troubles bear watching and may create headwinds for municipal bond investors. We believe limited supply and the market's recognition of Puerto Rico as an isolated case could keep Puerto Rico troubles contained.Furthermore, significant price adjustments have already occurred among some Puerto Rico issuers,but the saga will likely drag on for months. Selling pressure, if sustained, could influence the broader market and not just more secure Puerto Rico bonds. Municipal bond mutual fund outflows surged in early July in response to Puerto Rico concerns. Puerto Rico is a high-yield issue but in a bond sector that is typically less liquid, outflows can create a headwind for municipal bond investors overall.Ultimately, we believe municipals will be more sensitive to the path of the taxable bond market after a strong first half. On a positive note, moderate valuations coupled with below average new issuance means that municipal bonds may be more insensitive to periods of weakness. We continue to believe the taxable bond market is likely the main catalyst to the next move in municipal bond prices -- be it higher, lower, or sideways. However, absent a new bout of economic weakness, we see additional municipal price gains as limited and the now lower level of yields implies less return and also reduced protection against rising interest rates. A combination of intermediate and longer-term municipals to help limit interest rate sensitivity is an option to invest in the more challenging environment we see over the remainder of 2014.
