Sit N Go Tournaments
Learn How To Play Single Table Tournaments (STT's)
Single-Table Tournaments (STTs – also known as "Sit n Go's") are extremely convenient and perfect for beginners in the online poker world. This is because, unlike cash tables (and some MTTs) you only pay a fixed amount to enter, and the games do not last too long – especially if they're turbos!
STTs offer a fun, easy way to play. Just join a tournament and, once the pre-requisite number of players has registered (usually 6 or 10) the action starts! They're a good investment too, the top three places usually get paid, and in a small field it offers the solid poker player a very decent rate of return!
STTs are also very varied, you can play normal hold'em games, turbo, heads-up, twister or double or nothing!
Single Table Tournament Rules
· You can enter any Single Table Tournament by posting the required buy-in and entry fee.
· All tournaments will start when the table has the requisite number of entries.
· Tournaments are played until one player has all of the chips, or until the specific requirements of the particular tournament are met, for example. Double or Nothing formats.
· You are eliminated when you lose all of your poker chips; no re-buys are allowed unless stated.
· The top finishers are paid according to the following schedule:
· Where there are 10 players then the split is 50% 1st, 30% 2nd, 20% 3rd (unless stated otherwise).
· Where there are 5 players then the split is 70% 1st and 30% 2nd (unless stated otherwise).
· There are other prize splits on site, please refer to the game you are joining for specific prize structures.
· Tournaments are not raked as the entry fee pays for the table time.
· Ladbrokes Multi-Player Poker is not a party to any wager and only serves to oversee the event and the wagers that are made by the participants. All prize money distributed is a pool of the buy-in amounts contributed by individual poker players.
· Each tournament starts with its own specified number of starting chips. These are variable according to the tournament that you join, so always ensure you understand the tournament you are about to play.
· The limits, blinds and bets are raised after every 10 hands played.
· At the start of the tournament, you are dealt one card face up. The player receiving the highest card by suit (high - low: spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs) will get the dealer button for the first hand.
· When only two players are remaining, the small blind has the button and will act first before the flop.
· In fixed-limit play, each betting round will consist of one bet, and up to a maximum of three raises for a total of 4 bets per round.
· In fixed-limit play, when only two players are remaining in any hand, there is a maximum of five raises for a total of 6 bets per round.
· Tournaments are played straight-through until one player has all of the chips or until other stipulations are met as per the design of any individual tournament; there will be no breaks (unless specified). If you need to leave the poker table then tick the fold/check all box and this will fold/check your hands until you return.
· When you lose all of your poker chips, you are out of the tournament and placed in the order that you were eliminated, i.e. in 10-player tournaments, if you are the 8th player eliminated, you finished in 3rd place and will receive your portion of the prize pool.
· If two or more players are eliminated in the same hand, the player with the most chips at the start of the hand will be placed higher.
· Ladbrokes Multi-Player Poker will not assist players who make deals during tournaments. The tournaments continue until the winner is declared and the payoffs are made according to the laid out structure.
· No soft playing allowed. All players should be played against with the same intensity; team play may result in being banned from future tournaments and other potential restrictions or deductions from a players account.
· If you lose connection or your computer freezes, and have All-ins remaining and also have chips at stake in a hand, you will be declared All-in based on the All-in rules.
· You must understand and accept the risks of Internet disconnections. If you are not connected before a hand starts, you will be dealt cards and then folded automatically. If you are in position to post a blind and are not connected, the blind is posted automatically and your hand is folded. This continues until you re-establish a connection or have run out of poker chips.
· In the unlikely event of a server problem/ crash, all tournaments in play are deemed as cancelled. Once the server re-starts, we will refund the full Buy-in and entry fee. As per cash games, Ladbrokes is not liable in any way for server/communication problems that might affect customer game play.
· Railbird chat privileges for players watching any of the tournaments will be removed if deemed to be abusive.
· English is the only language allowed at the tables.
· Management decisions are final.

Nyjer Morgan, the most glorious weirdo in Major League Baseball, put the Mets away with a walk-off double in the bottom of the ninth in Milwaukee last night. In his post-game interview with Fox Sports Wisconsin, Prince Fielder provided Morgan with a Gatorade bath, which this time around consisted entirely of Gatorade. The outfielder admitted that he'd thought the Brewers were leading when he connected — a statement that's totally supported by his look of genuine, joyful surprise as his teammates surround him in celebration. Mark it down before the next Verducci column: the new hitting technique is utter oblivion.

As the intermediary between your reproductive organs and the rest of your bicycle, your saddle's job is crucial to your cycling enjoyment. In this sense, your bike saddle is a hostage negotiator, and it is constantly bargaining for the survival of your genitals. However, finding the right saddle can be a harrowing experience. Here are some of the more popular methods cyclists take in their quest for pedaling comfort.
The Cutting Edge Racing seats have become remarkably like smartphones: sleek, feature-laden, expensive, and almost indistinguishable from each other.
To help you make sense of their bewildering array of offerings, some manufacturers have invented their own quasi-mystical selection processes. Fi'zi:k, for example, asks you to analyze your riding style and determine whether you're a Snake, a Bull, or a Chameleon. If you find the concept of selecting a crotchal spirit animal daunting, then cutting-edge saddles may not be for you. But if you're the sort of cyclist who rides so hard that you have anaerobic hallucinations in which your chamois speaks to you, then you shouldn't have any trouble—unless your chamois tells you your spirit animal is a chipmunk, like mine did.
Old World Craftsmanship If you follow the "your age plus 10" formula for determining spoke count, tout the repairability of your steel frame, and believe that carbon fiber is part of an alien conspiracy to seize control of the planet, then you want a seat that was made by hand, was built to last, and, until a few months ago, was an unsuspecting cow.
Of course, when you think of saddles that used to go "moo," you think of Brooks, and over time a Brooks saddle will change its shape to accommodate yours. Depending on the model, it may also weigh more than the rest of your bike—although, arguably, saving weight by saddle choice is about as wise as saving time by wearing a diaper so you can cut out bathroom visits.
The Comfort Saddle Much has been made by the mainstream media of the supposed link between impotence and cycling. There is a connection, but it's no stronger than the link between impotence and doing anything else improperly. If you sit on the arm of a lounge chair for long enough you'll experience some numbness downstairs too, but I've never read about La-Z-Boys making people impotent.
Nevertheless, there is a wide array of "comfort saddles" on the market that promise to alleviate this problem. Generally, they are bulbous in places, and also filled with gel. The idea seems to be that a saddle should look and feel like the organ it's supposed to be saving. This is the same thinking behind many women-specific saddles—right down to the colors and cutouts.
Rhinoplasty To those unfortunate cyclists who don't find relief in the plush and bloated world of comfort seats: Welcome to the weird world of noseless saddles. Some resemble a piece of melting cheese; others have armrests that cradle each cheek independently; still others look like a horseshoe crab that has been impaled on your seatpost. While a noseless saddle may be your salvation, it's probably not ideal for fast riding, since it's tough to be "on the rivet" when there is no rivet at all.
If none of these options works for you, it could be time for what is either the scariest alternative of all or the very zenith of bicycle engineering, depending on your beliefs. I'm talking about the La-Z-Boy on wheels, otherwise known as the recumbent.

Hey guys! It's Dawn here with another fun and interesting lesson on "how to draw a scary clown"! I was looking around in my email in-box and found a request that wanted to a tutorial to "draw a scary clown". Thinking to myself, it was not a bad idea! Clowns in general, are pretty scary looking because of all that bright makeup. The ones that seem the creepiest, would have to be the ones with large hairy sideburns, white face paint, red lips, nose, cheeks, and a hat that may resemble a party hat or a top hat. I must have visited a circus two times. One was when I was around ten years old, and the other was when I was twelve. There was this really cool spherical stage thing where some type of motorcycles were driving around in it. They were looping everywhere, without crashing into one another. Anyways folks, I have to go now. I hope you'll enjoy this lesson on "drawing scary clowns". Have fun and don't give up!

What We Know About The RANT Sequel
While Chuck already has his next two books lined up; Beautiful You in 2014 and Make Something Up, a book of short stories scheduled for 2015, a question he still gets asked regularly is, when the hell is he going to finally write the long anticipated sequel to Rant? See, some of you may not know this, but Rant was originally promised and conceived as a trilogy-- same as Damned. But whereas, two years later we have that sequel to Damned, six years later we still long for the further adventures of Buster Casey.
Recently, Chuck has began speaking openly about the Rant sequel and, lo and behold, plans are afoot! During his latest Reddit AMA (read the whole transcript here), when asked about the Rant sequel, Chuck dropped this exciting news:
"Argh! The Rant question comes back! I've written the second book, but I'm such a compulsive nut-job that I'm still looking for a non-fiction form to use as a structure. I know, I know, I'm stuck on structural gimmicks, but experiments like that are important to me."
So today, we're officially going to request that all of you update this news thread (in the comments below) any time you see or hear any further news about this sequel. I doubt this AMA is the first time Chuck has given information about it. So let's start trying to piece together the mystery of what this book will be. And shit, maybe we can start a poll to let Chuck know just how badly we want this book (Rant is my personal favorite of all his novels) and I'll email him the results once it's convincing enough. Deal? Deal.

Review Transcript:
With The Dark Knight Rises, part 3 of the Batman trilogy brought to us by Christopher Nolan coming out this week, I thought it might be fun to recap my feelings on the ones that came before it. Not in any great detail of course, because these videos take long enough to edit without making them 10 minutes long or more. Many consider Nolan's Batman movies to be the best of the best, though they all…well, most of the Batman movies are great in their own right.
There are several movies I can't talk about because I've never seen them for various reasons. The 1943 and 1949 serial films because they came out so long before I was born, and the animated films because…actually I don't know why I haven't seen these yet. Maybe I'll check them out when I have a day off. Except for this one. What's wrong with his head?
The first Batman movie I remember seeing was the 1966 Adam West film based on the television series. It was fair enough for the time it was made, and actually helped boost the character's popularity in comics at the time alongside the show. Not to mention it gave the current generation plenty of internet-worthy material.
Tim Burton's Batman starring Michael Keaton was basically a big middle finger to the '66 film, throwing away all the campy silliness, the POW/BAM/BIFFs, and anti-shark repellent (don't ask). Following a turn to a darker, grim side of Batman in the comics, 1989's Batman was a game changer for the character thematically. Facing off against Jack Nicholson's classic portrayal of The Joker, we're treated to arguably one of the best Batman films ever made. Between Batman's "toys", the terrifyingly comical Joker, decent action, and just the right amount of Burton quirkiness to be entertaining (and not oversaturated), it becomes obvious why it has held up as a classic. It has some pacing issues that drag on at times, but that's really the worst that can be said.
In 1992 Batman Returns came out, with Michelle Pfeiffer and Danny DeVito joining in as Catwoman and The Penguin alongside Keaton and Burton returning as director. It's a pretty solid film, though falls short of its predecessor. The script just isn't as strong, and The Penguin as a villain isn't the ideal follow-up to The Joker. Not to mention his little penguin brethren make it a little too cute…in a disturbing way. Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman is a strong point in its favor, but…uh…sorry, I forgot what I was talking about.
Then in 1995 and 1997, Joel Schumacher was put at the helm of Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. I'd rather not go into detail on these, as they are my least favorites by far. To summarize: flashy lights and bat-nipples.
After the series had all but been dismissed by Batman fans, Christopher Nolan rebooted the franchise in 2005 with Batman Begins. This movie is, in my opinion, what got the whole "BATMAN IS A BADASS" idea outside of the minds of comic book fans and into pop culture. While not without its flaws, Batman Begins is the origin story that the character has deserved all along, and possibly the definitive superhero origin to date. We experience Bruce Wayne's transformation into Batman in a way that surpasses possibly every telling (and retelling and re-retelling) in the comics themselves. Not only is the character more hardcore than ever, attacking and dispatching thugs without mercy from the shadows, but the flashy gaudiness of the Schumacher films is completely washed away. Let me put it this way: Liam Neeson, the man that trained Obi-Wan Kenobi; the man that took on an entire drug and sex trafficking ring to save his daughter; the man that could beat the snot out of Chuck Norris any day of the week…trains Bruce Wayne to be a ninja. Correction: a ninja assassin. YEAH.
Finally, in 2008 The Dark Knight was released, a film considered by many to be the best Batman movie ever. Between the powerful screenplay and excellent performances from all of the actors (especially the legendary portrayal of The Joker by Heath Ledger), I can't help but agree. There are some details that feel skimmed over upon close examination, but as an experience in and of itself, the movie feels close to flawless. It's everything we could hope for in a Batman movie and more. Dark, serious, well executed action, and in many cases a serious mind-f***. My biggest complaint about the movie has to be the "growl" in Batman's voice. The growl is there in Batman Begins, but is so annoyingly and exaggeratedly deep in The Dark Knight that I can't help but believe it has been digitally altered in some way.
Now, in 2012, we are finally getting the last chapter in this epic trilogy, and I couldn't be more excited. In fact, I'm finishing the script for this while waiting in the theater for The Dark Knight Rises to begin.
Will TDKR rise to the occasion and surpass its legendary predecessors? Will it fall short and disappoint? Will it fall short but still manage to impress? Only time will tell, and I for one can't wait to tell you exactly what I think about it.
I'm Papa Kenn, and I'll see you next review.

The Chinese men won their 10th world team title Wednesday evening at the 2011 World Gymnastics Championships in Tokyo in dramatic fashion, upsetting host Japan which crashed and burned in the final rotation.
China, third in qualification, hit 17 of 18 routines Wednesday to score 275.161, nearly two points ahead of Japan (273.093). The U.S. team won the bronze with 273.083, just a fraction out of silver.
The Japanese men, who easily won the qualification round, had a fall on pommel horse in the second rotation. They took the lead over China after 2004 Olympic gold medalist Teng Haibin fell off parallel bars. But China rebounded with big scores on high bar to regain the lead going into the final rotation, where triple Olympic champion Zou Kai anchored the effort on floor exercise. The Japanese needed three perfect routines on high bar to win, but second-up Yusuke Tanaka fell off on a Kovacs late in his routine. World champion Kohei Uchimura followed with a routine that was near perfect until he also dropped off on a Kovacs. He got up and repeated the release, nailing the remainder of his routine and drilling his dismount. Uchimura scored 14.700, sliding Japan past the U.S. by a mere .01.
The U.S. men began the evening with the highest team total on floor exercise, but scored lower on pommel horse and still rings than they had in preliminaries. The team had some problems on vault, where Steven Legendre took a large step off the mat and Olympian Jonathan Horton landed on his hands and knees. In fourth after the fourth rotation, the U.S. gymnasts rebounded with nailed routines on parallel bars and high bar to shoot past Russia.
Russia was the surprise of the competition, trailing Japan by .074 going into the fifth rotation. But the Russians, ending on floor exercise and pommel horse, couldn't hold off the U.S. team's higher scores on parallel bars and high bar.
Ukraine took fifth, edging defending bronze medalist Germany by less than one tenth of a point, 264.102-263.926. Germany competed below its ability, with multiple falls across the events.
Korea was seventh after disastrous rotations on high bar and floor exercise. Romania was in last place throughout the competition after Marius Berbecar crashed his vault in the first rotation for a score of zero.
Competition continues Thursday evening with the women's all-around final.

IT contractors cry foul over HMRC income splitting law
'Stop crippling us, we're not tax dodgers'
IT contractors are up in arms about government legalisation that will overhaul income splitting arrangements among individuals following a landmark case that Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) lost.
In July last year, Arctic Systems beat the taxman which had pursued the small, family-run IT services firm for what it claimed was unpaid taxes.
However, the long-running legal dispute came to an end when the House of Lords threw out an appeal from HMRC in favour of Arctic bosses and married couple Geoff and Diana Jones.
At the time the HMRC responded by accepting that it had lost the battle, but reckoned it would win the war by introducing a new law that would close what it considered a loophole in the system.
HM Treasury said it wants to prevent individuals from divvying up income earned from businesses with other individuals solely to reduce their joint tax bills. It has also estimated that some 85,000 companies throughout the UK were currently working the system to their advantage.
The government plans to introduce legislation from 6 April this year. HMRC laid out draft consultation guidelines (pdf) last month in which it said:
"The intended outcome of the proposed legislation is to undo the tax advantage gained by income shifting arrangements. The legislation does not consider any situations where an arrangement has been made on a commercial or arm's length basis."
HMRC proposes four conditions that would need to be set to determine whether income splitting is taking place:
• individual one is party to, or has power over the relevant arrangements;
• individual one forgoes income and the foregone income is individual two's for the relevant tax year;
• individual one has the power to control the amount that is shifted; and
• the shifted income consists of distributions of a company or profits of a partnership.
But many have voiced concern about the government's stance, arguing that the new law could affect small businesses throughout the UK.
The Professional Contractors Group, which supported the Joneses throughout their fight against the taxman, has set up an e-petition in the hope of convincing the government to "abandon" its plans on income splitting.
Elsewhere, a lone IT contractor has decided to take on the HMRC by setting up a Facebook group, dubbed "Stop the government from crippling contractors!", in the hope of provoking a stampede of Web 2.0 opposition to the legislation.
So far the e-petition has garnered more than 2,500 names, while the Facebook group has just 15 members who agree that the government's plans will hurt IT contractors' pockets. ®

What is it about college that makes people drink more?
Tuesday night is beer pong tournament night at Blarney Pub and Grill in Minneapolis' Dinkytown, near the University of Minnesota.
It's 11 o'clock and Casey and Meagan, two young beer pong regulars, make up the team known as Drunk and Dirty. Casey is 27 years old. Meagan is a pre-med senior at the U.
Casey pours beer into a group of plastic cups.
"You try not to put too much in, because with all these people here you could end up playing 25 games, and you don't want to be too drunk you can't play," says Casey.
After this story was published Blarney owner Mike Mulrooney told MPR news, 12 games is the maximum for a player in a 64-game tournament.
Some would think would think the point of the game is to get drunk. When Casey and Meagan are asked whether they're here to drink or to win, here's what they say.
"We're here to win, to tell you the truth," says Casey. "And drink," Meagan adds.
"And drink, of course," Casey responds. "But mainly we like to win and have a good time doing it, you know."
When one team throws a ping pong ball into one of the cups, someone from the opposing team has to drink the contents. The first team to run out of cups loses.
On a winning night, Casey says, a team of two can go through six or seven pitchers of beer. The bar has a sponsorship agreement with a beer seller, so patrons move from table to table carrying $7 pitchers of Miller Lite.
But college students don't exactly need another vehicle for drinking. A University of Minnesota survey finds more than 37 percent of students engage in high-risk drinking. Games and easy access to cheap alcohol are the bane of campus health officials like Toben Nelson.
"Heavy drinkers play drinking games, and drinking games result in a lot of heavy drinking," says Nelson. "In fact, the purpose of drinking games is to get drunk."
To Nelson, an assistant professor with the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health, college students are a vulnerable and captive population, easily picked off by booze merchants.
"Heavy drinkers play drinking games, and drinking games result in a lot of heavy drinking."
"They're away from their family, they're away from their traditional long-standing social ties, they're away from institutions like their church, like athletic involvement," Nelson points out.
Colleges typically respond, Nelson says, by doing what they do best -- educating students about the dangers of alcohol, researching the issue, and encouraging more acceptable alternatives.
The trouble is, that doesn't work.
"Those kinds of things, by themselves, are unlikely to be effective," Nelson says. "They've been implemented for at least 10 years and we've, frankly, seen no change."
If there were an easy fix, Nelson says, people would be doing that.
"What we need to do is implement a wide range of interventions that help dampen, reduce, minimize the heavy consumption that's going on," Nelson says.
Those solutions mostly revolve around limiting easy access to alcohol by restricting the number of liquor establishments around campuses, eliminating cheap drink specials at bars, and hiking alcohol taxes to make heavy drinking less economical.
It also means tighter enforcement on campuses of drinking age laws. Such actions require a strong alliance among colleges, local government and state officials -- and even parents and alumni -- that is difficult to forge, much less sustain.
Minnesota State University Mankato began chipping away at the binge drinking problem at least two years ago with another approach. They're getting the word out that not all students are heavy drinkers.
"About one out of four students don't drink at all," says Wendy Schuh, Mankato State's alcohol and drug educator.
Schuh says the school is turning around the misperception on campus that most college students are big drinkers.
Schuh and other university officials believe changing the perception that heavy drinking is common will change the students' belief that they need to drink in order to fit in on campus.
"About 10 percent would be considered high risk, or would be to use the term excessive drinking or binge drinking," says Schuh. "That leaves, you know, 70 percent of our students that maybe drink occasionally or use safe drinking behaviors."
Schuh says it's this large segment of students colleges are struggling to reach before they become excessive drinkers.
In spite of the effort, two students connected with the college have died alcohol-related deaths since the start of the school year.
Back at Blarney in Dinkytown, it's 1:30 in the morning and bar patrons slur their words and visibly weave as they walk to the bathroom.
Casey and Meagan have enjoyed a winning streak. Each has downed a bubbly drink called a strawberry Shasta -- a concoction of vodka, peach schnaaps and Red Bull energy drink -- in addition to their beer pong cups.
They decide Casey will try to remain relatively sober so he can play the game and try to keep their winning streak alive -- and also drive home. It's a strategy that pays off for awhile, until Meagan is forced to pour cup after cup of beer into her 110-pound body.
"I know the more I drink, the better I do," says Meagan, "until I get to a point where I'm done, and then I can't hit sh*t."
Casey and Meagan eventually lose and head home.
Research shows binge drinking on campuses doesn't happen in a vacuum. Colleges with drinking problems are typically located in states where many others drink a lot as well.
And in states with large rural populations, Minnesota included, there are even more heavy drinkers.

A federal judge has ruled that Colorado ran afoul of the US Constitution when it passed legislation forcing out-of-state retailers to report their customers' purchases to the state's tax authority.
Two decades ago, the US Supreme Court ruled that a state cannot require mail-order retailers to collect sales tax unless the retailer has a physical presence in the state. Under the commerce clause of the US Constitution, only Congress can regulate interstate commerce, and the Supreme Court ruled that forcing retailers to collect out-of-state sales taxes would create too much of a burden on interstate commerce. The courts left the door open for Congress to establish an interstate sales tax collection system. But while Congress has discussed the possibility, no legislation has been enacted so far.
State governments, frustrated to see a growing share of their taxpayers' spending going to online retailers they can't tax, have tried a variety of strategies to get the retailers—or their customers—to pay up. A number of states have passed laws classifying online retailers' affiliate programs as a physical presence in their states. Amazon.com has responded by shutting down its affiliate programs in those states.
In 2010, the Colorado legislature tried a different approach. It passed legislation requiring large retailers that do not collect sales tax to report the purchases of Colorado residents to state tax authorities. Like most states, Colorado has a widely ignored use tax, which consumers are supposed to pay on products they buy from out-of-state retailers. The state hoped that having their purchases reported to the state would scare consumers into paying the use taxes they owed.
But the Direct Marketing Association, which represents many businesses that would be subject to the law, sued in federal court. It argued that the reporting requirements were an unconstitutional burden on interstate commerce, and that under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, only Congress had the power to compel out-of-state retailers to submit tax paperwork across state lines.
On Friday (as first reported by the Denver Post), Judge Robert Blackburn agreed. He found that the reporting requirement impermissibly discriminated against out-of-state retailers. While Colorado's law isn't targeted explicitly at non-Colorado businesses, it is targeted at businesses that do not collect Colorado sales tax, which amounts to the same thing.
Colorado's reporting law "imposes a differential burden on out-of-state retailers because the different burden is imposed precisely because the retailer is an out-of-state retailer" who is exempted by the Supreme Court from paying sales tax in Colorado, Blackburn wrote. "Only a change in the law by the Supreme Court or action by Congress can change the situation" and allow states to reach out-of-state retailers, he concluded.

Thanks for the insight, Michael. This article helped me understand player functions and compatibility. Good Stuff!!!
First, I tried the Meridian Sooloos system and loved it. But at that time the Sooloos didn't play nicely with sources other than ripped CDs. I then borrowed a Sonos WiFi Music System, which worked well enough for streaming audio from the Internet, but I had no personal music libraries back then. Finally, I installed in my office an HRT Music Streamer+ USB D/A converter, and became addicted to streaming Internet radio stations on my PC as an antidote to the limitations and mediocrity of local FM broadcasts.
So when I read about Logitech's new Squeezebox Touch ($299.99), I was really primed: It could play 24-bit/96kHz files, and could access both Internet radio and stored music files. It sounded simple enough to operate that I wouldn't be frustrated or need to call on others for help. It was small. It was cheap. I was just ready to order it when John Atkinson offered to send me one to review. A good omen.
Love at first sight
The small box contains the sleek Squeezebox Touch, a wall-wart power supply, a remote control, and the sparsest of user manuals (though it proved entirely sufficient). I connected the Touch to the Meridian F80 in my office via TosLink, inserted batteries in the remote control, powered up the Touch, and was greeted with a simple setup screen. After I'd selected English as my language, it advised me to select a wireless or Ethernet network; I chose the latter to start with, as the F80 is less than 6' from my router. I then downloaded and installed the Squeezebox Server software from mysqueezebox.com, the fount of all information and support for the Touch.
All that done, I navigated intuitively to Internet radio and, like nothing, was streaming lovely music from Radio Bartók in Budapest! I also played a few high-definition downloads from flash drives, which I plugged into the Touch's USB port. I know that the Touch will do a lot more (see later), but the delight and satisfaction such immediate gratification gave me made me hunger for more, and made it easier to drum up the patience I needed to resolve some minor problems that cropped up later.
Of course, I could have streamed Radio Bartók from my PC to the F80 with the HRT Music Streamer+, but the Touch gave me a platform to start setting up my listening. This included setting up a Pandora account, downloading dozens of albums with resolutions of from 16-bits/44.1kHz to 24/192, and sifting through many pages of stations and musical genres to establish a list of favorite Internet radio sites. This was made easier by the use of Logitech's Squeezebox Web Server program, which I accessed via FireFox on my PC. The application lets you perform most tasks permitted by the Touch's 4.3" display, as well as many others, but it's easier to do when sitting comfortably in front of a 22" PC screen.
I downloaded standard-resolution music from iTunes, Passionato, and PlayMPE (Universal's music service for reviewers), and hi-def files from HDtracks, Linn Records, 2L, and others. I placed all of these files in a single directory on my hard disk, and created a playlist with Squeezebox Server through which I could access them by title, album, artist, genre, and date of release. The creation of custom playlists is also supported. Note that downloads from each source can be filed in separate subdirectories (including iTunes) and be in different formats, but Squeezebox Server has no problem accessing and organizing all of them.
I was now prepared to set the Squeezebox Touch to task.
In the main room
I moved the Squeezebox Touch to my main listening room, and connected it to the Meridian Reference 861 pre/pro by digital coax. With little pause, it found my home network, connected to the Squeezebox Server running on the computer, and provided access to all services. I selected a downloaded, 24/88.2 FLAC file of Jerry Junkin and the Dallas Wind Symphony's recording of Grainger's Lincolnshire Posy, which I had always enjoyed on CD (Reference Recordings/HDtracks RR-117). Immediately, the 861's display indicated a sample rate of 88.2kHz, and truly magnificent two-channel sound poured forth from my B&W 802Ds. The low-level detail, wide and balanced frequency response, and seemingly unbridled dynamics that are characteristic of high-quality playback systems were all being mediated by an inexpensive little plastic box!
Thanks for the insight, Michael. This article helped me understand player functions and compatibility. Good Stuff!!!
Now that the shock of losing the Touch has settled in, do you have any thoughts or opinions as to who a successor might be? I've started looking but what I've found either has additional (unwanted) functionality or are significantly pricier. (To hedge bets, I've bought a spare Touch, which BTW, are steadily increasing as I assume others are rushing to get before they disappear).

Diseñadores de todas las partes del mundo están proponiendo diseños creativos a globalconnection en la categoría de diseño página web codificada - custom.
Current web page is VERY weak. http://www.globalconnectionsystems.com We need a new one.
Desired Style:
International look with global trading re-inforced
Accepted File Formats:
Publisher preferred
Existing web page put together to meet a deadline by non-designer. Text is also weak and will need rewording. Just work with text as is and we will fix. Logo is on pre-printed stationary, so try and keep existing logo & colour scheme.
Business is very client relationship based and web site is really only to be used for customer's to find us (say via Google) and suppliers to know what we do. Web page will also be useful for employees at global customers to get info on us. Local time in Australia and also after hours contact is useful.
We would like to get the Frontpage file so we can make content & word changes over time and then upload it ourselves.If you don't use Frontpage we will accept anything that we can simply modify in the future......
The logo used appears to have had some tough treatment in its current resized version. I will try & get a copy of the original in 'tif or other format so that it is up to standard with the rest of the web site.
An inquiry form is also a great idea received (rather than a contact e-mail address)

Alternate Media
Welcome to the Alternate Media Center
The Alternate Media Center is dedicated to ensuring that students have materials they need in a format they can use. The center provides alternate media for students with verified disabilities for required textbooks, course materials, class handouts, exams, and other print materials. The center has specialized equipment to scan books and documents, software to convert scanned images to text, software for the conversion of text to Braille or to audio files, and equipment to emboss Braille and create tactile images.
What is alternate media?
Print materials are converted into electronic text, such as Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF files, which can be accessed with various screen reading or screen enlargement software.
Print materials are translated into Braille or converted to large print.
Print materials may be converted into audio formats such as MP3 or Daisy.
Diagrams and figures are embossed to allow students with vision limitations to feel the tactile images.
Glendale Community College also uses outside resources to acquire alternate media, such as The Alternate Text Production Center, The High Tech Center Training Unit, and Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic.
How does an instructor request alternate media?
Instructors with students who have print disabilities are asked to submit class handouts, quizzes, tests, and other print materials to the AMS three to five days before they will be needed in class, including the date they are needed, and the initials of the student.
How does a student request alternate media?
A CSD Specialist or Counselor verifies the disability, determines the need, and authorizes the appropriate type of alternate media. The Counselor or Specialist will then complete and sign the alternate Media Request Form and submit it to the Alternate Media Specialist.

Today Huzur delivered his Friday Sermon on the Divine attribute of Al Wasi (the Bountiful, the All-Embracing). Huzur explained that 'Wasi' is that Being Whose provision and Whose mercy encompasses all creation. Whose self-sufficiency overrides everything, a Being that bestows limitlessly, Who encompasses everything. Huzur said all these references can be found in the Holy Qur'an.
In verse 269 of Surah Al Baqarah Allah states: 'Satan threatens you with poverty and enjoins upon you what is foul, whereas Allah promises you forgiveness from Himself and bounty. And Allah is Bountiful, All-Knowing.' (2:269) Huzur explained that the verse cites two factors that Satan employs to drive God's servants away from Him; fear of poverty and foulness. Fear of poverty is of many kinds; as Satan had said to God that he would sit and waylay God's people on every path, indeed, he left no stone unturned. His waylaying was not with his own power but due to the fact that God permitted him. God made it clear to His people that Satan would entice in ways that would appear good but the consequences of these would be terrible. Allah states in the Qur'an: '…And Satan desires to lead them far astray' [Surah Al Nisa (4:61)] as well as '…Satan is to you an open foe…' [Surah Al A'raf - (6:23)]. Referring to the above verse Huzur said its reference is not limited to Adam and Eve but is a warning to all men and women that Satan is your audacious enemy therefore be heedful of his temptations. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that the events stated in the Holy Qur'an are not mere accounts of old, rather these are also prophecies for the times to come, therefore believers should be mindful.
Huzur said Satan alters his ways with changing times. Each new invention that is beneficial also carries the caution that Satan also uses it. In the Surah Al Baqarah verse God states that Satan intimidates you with fear of poverty. The Arabic word in the verse 'faqara' denotes poverty as well as the breaking of the vertebrae. This signifies that Satan threatens that sacrifices in the name of God would, as if, render one unable to support oneself and would leave one behind in the world. Satan intimidates against sacrifices in many ways; strays one from worship of God and instead carry out worldly businesses, puts fear of monetary loss and poverty in hearts so one does not make time for causes of God and spends all one's time in making money. Huzur said however, God's servants are not intimidated by Satan. Huzur said he read an article in Al Fazl (Urdu newspaper) which cited that a person stood buying meat at butchers in Rabwah when the local finance secretary of the area passed by on a bicycle. The secretary stopped to remind that person that he had some balance to pay on his chanda (financial contribution). The person asked how much the balance was. When told, he paid it there and then and took a receipt. However, he returned the meat he had bought at the butchers and said his family would have a simple meal that day. Huzur said such are the people who are not tempted by Satan and it is not just one person, there are hundreds of such people in our Community who do not simply miss out on meat rather they even go hungry but make sacrifices.
Huzur said there are also numerous instances of sacrifice of life in our Community; in particular the Ahmadis of Pakistan are faced with death at any moment simply for being Ahmadis and for living where they live. The supreme sacrifices of life of Sahibzada Abdul Latif shaheed and Maulwi Abdul Rahman shaheed illustrated that they did not withhold sacrificing their lives for a noble cause and for the pleasure of God. Huzur said there are dozens of other incidents where Ahmadis gladly offered their lives, staying firm on their belief and resoluteness and not merely as a consequence of a sudden attack.
Huzur said in this day and age the economy is also referred to as 'backbone' thus Satan threatens those who give about the financial future of their children but God's servant continue to give. The instance of sacrifice of time is one with which every Ahmadi who is associated with the Community is familiar for they give some time or the other to the Community even if it is attending meetings and gatherings. There is also a great majority who sacrifice their time and come to the Friday Prayers and pay no attention to Satanic temptations – then there are those who do not come to the Friday Prayers or even Eid Prayers. There is a significant number of Ahmadis who do not pay attention to Salat and instead remain busy in their business dealings.
Other than threatening with poverty Satan also tempts man to spend money at matters that are foul, at worldly amusements and indecencies such as gambling and consumption of alcohol. He does this in a manner that man does not realise he is doing something wrong. Allah states in the Qur'an: '…And follow not the footsteps of Satan…' [Surah Al An'am – (6:143)]. Huzur said it is utter ignorance to even imagine that there is any good in following Satan. If a worldly person was asked about his concept of Satan he would say 'may God protect from him', however, in following Satan such a person would be completely unaware of what he is doing. In leading such people astray Satan fulfils his original claim that he will lead majority of people away from God. Huzur said the way to come to God is to repent and turn to Him. Indeed, He forgives and enables one to do good in future. Huzur said through the reference of the word 'ya'eedokum' in the Surah Al Baqarah verse God has assured forgiveness. On the Day of Judgement Satan is going to deny everything but God promises that He will facilitate forgiveness. That He will bestow in this world and will also forgive in the Hereafter. While indulging in foul matters leads to troubles, physical ailments and many other losses, the believers are promised greater blessings. God states that He would open doors of His grace and believers will develop in spirituality. It is the promise of God, Who is Bountiful and All-Embracing and Who has ceaseless treasures of blessings.
Every Ahmadi who makes financial sacrifice knows that God blesses each giving in an astonishing manner. The families of those who sacrifice their lives are witness to the fact that their sacrifices are a source of immense blessing for the families. These are the experiences that the Bountiful, All-Embracing God grants those who give and who sacrifice.
God's further favour and grace on His servants is thus that not only does He grant forgiveness upon sincere repentance, good works and sacrifices rather He employs angels to seek forgiveness for His servants. It is stated in the Qur'an: 'Those who bear the Throne, and those who are around it, glorify their Lord with His praise, and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who believe, saying: 'Our Lord, Thou dost comprehend all things in Thy mercy and knowledge. So forgive those who repent and follow Thy way; and protect them from the punishment of Hell.' [Surah Al Mu'min – (40:8)] Huzur said here 'bearing of the Throne' signifies angels as explained in Surah Al Haqqah (69:18) or it means those attributes of God on which these angels have been ordained, Divine attributes which are described in Surah Al Fatihah, i.e. Rabb (Lord) Rahman (Most Gracious) Raheem (Ever Merciful) and Malik e Yaumideen (Master of the Day of Judgement). These are the attributes which come into man's use in this world and are the fundamental Divine attributes. Those who believe and then repent, turn to God, do good works, it is for these that God's angels, in particular those angels who are commissioned to facilitate these qualities on mankind and each angel who is assigned the respective attribute, prays to God with reference to that attribute on behalf of the believers. Similarly, angels subordinate to these [commissioned] angels also seek forgiveness from God for people.
Huzur said man is full of mistakes and failings and when he stumbles inadvertently, these angels plead God with reference to His mercy and His boundless knowledge to forgive His servant. They refer to God's mercy first to seek forgiveness because pardon only comes about with His mercy and this is why they seek His extensive mercy for this. They acknowledge God's all-embracing knowledge and supplicate that if it is in God's knowledge that these people would stumble in future may God's overriding mercy make them do good works instead, and makes these good works eternal for them – the angels acknowledge that the people will only be so enabled if God's mercy is forthcoming. This is the Most Gracious, the Great Forgiver, Most Merciful God Who employs all resources to forgive people and to keep them firm on piety.
God states that He rewards sacrifice seven hundred-fold, in fact it can even exceed this because God is the Bountiful and all-Embracing and His rewards know no bounds. Yet man is ungrateful and leaves the Ever Merciful God and is tempted by Satan towards transitory pleasures.
Huzur cited verse 157 of Surah Al A'raf (7:157) which reads: 'And ordain for us good in this world, as well as in the next; we have turned to You seeking forgiveness. God replied, 'I will inflict My punishment on whom I will; but My mercy encompasses all things; so I will ordain it for those who act righteously, and pay the Zakat and those who believe in Our Signs – ' and explained that as the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said the events of the Prophets described in the Qur'an are also prophecies for the future therefore when acceptance of prayers and God's mercy is cited it is applicable today as it was before, of course on the condition that man abides by God's commandments. God's mercy surpasses everything but man has been given responsibility to adopt taqwa (righteousness) to worship God, to love God more than anything else, to make every sacrifice needed to pay the dues of Allah and the dues of mankind, to believe in God's Signs. Huzur said the advent of God's eminent and holy people is also one of His Signs. In this age the true and ardent devotee of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was followed by many Signs; for instance the solar and lunar eclipses, earthquakes, the plague and many modern-day inventions. Huzur said when a claimant cites something and it comes to pass then it is a special Sign.
God has made His mercy supersede everything else therefore man should be ever hopeful of forgiveness and should endeavour to follow God's commandments. In particular believers should never be of the mind-set that they will be forgiven no matter what. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that God has put His laws in place and also punishes those who exceeds the limits. God has not stated that His mercy surpasses everything for the sinners, rather this has been stated with reference to those who abide by taqwa. It is the task of a believer to continue to seek this mercy and then be hopeful of God's all-embracing mercy. May Allah enable us all to do so.
The Jumu'ah (Friday) prayer is one form of congregational worship in Islam. It takes place every Friday. Regular attendance at the Jumu'ah prayer is enjoined on the believer. According to a Saying of Muhammad(sa) this congregational prayer is twenty-five times more blessed than worship performed alone. (Bukhari)
"O ye who believe! When the call is made for Prayer on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah, and leave off all business. That is best for you, if you only knew." more
"… (He who) offers the Prayers and listens quitely when the Imam stands up for sermon, will have his sins forgiven between that Friday and the next" (Bukhari)

地 点:漯河长鼎大学贺兰山校区一楼报告厅
演讲人:Flemming Christiansen
University of Duisburg-Essen,Germany
China has been experiencing a rapid process of urbanization over the reform era. Its population reached a symbolically important turning point early in this decade: now the majority of Chinese citizens is living in cities and towns instead of in the countryside. Recent reforms, especially of the hukou (household registration) system, have continued to transform the previous urban—rural duality into a multi-layered hierarchy of cities. The emerging system no longer categorically separates urban residents from country-dwellers but instead introduces more finely grained distinctions according to cities of different sizes and types. In the case of municipalities, this hierarchy is even internalized as differences between urban districts and made an inherent part of urban planning. This gives rise to new forms of inclusion as well as exclusion of citizens along various dimensions worth exploring. For instance, how are different social strata, age groups or genders affected by the on-going process of rural—urban integration? How is their participation in social, cultural and economic affairs impacted? What new identities are taking shape in this transformation? How can the new cities offer access to public services (education, social insurance, urban transportation) and economic opportunities to (new) residents? These are the main questions addressed by the contributions described below.
