It just works!
What a bargain!
What a bargain!
Excellent product. Again Behringer comes to the rescue to save us money. Excellent response, easy to read, each channel has a 2 band EQ, 3 inputs sources, and works as advertised. I owned 2, I linked them together. When my band comes to record everyone can set the EQ like they like it. I love this product.
I have not tried every input and feature. The unit is light, has a detachable power cord and puts out a clear , loud sound. I am very happy with this unit.
I find this device to be great, [but it is not needed for my studio headphones that I use]. The only reason I got the Powerplay Pro-XL HA4700 4-Ch., is because I was given a gift for X-Mas {Boss headphones} that needed to be powered-up to hear from. They were about shutting out the world completly, and are great, but the sound quality was the same as any of my others that don't need the separate amp control set-up. I am trying to keep my old ways, but will definitly use this soon as I find a way to quiet it done a little [hum]. Thats's probubly my bad since I have everything in a 25' square, with about 2 dozen things hooked-up!
I plugged it in, put on the headphones and hit play. I was more than pleased with the sonic quality through my DT770 Headphones. It takes a bit to get a high level with those high impedance phones, but the volume was more than adequate without coloring the mix at all. I also used it with lesser quality phones and was able to EQ it for a reasonably pleasant mix. I do my own recording and mixing and this unit makes that task quite enjoyable. Boo Hiss it's a Behringer... Not so fast. This is a quality headphone amp and the price is far below the feature point.
sounds great , rack mount is a plus!

New Jersey is one of the major sources of blueberries in the U.S. The city of Hammonton is the self-proclaimed "Blueberry Capital of the World." Residents of the state celebrate the highbush blueberries with two annual festivals that regularly draw attendees from the neighboring states of Pennsylvania, Delaware and New York.
Whitesbog Blueberry Festival
The Whitesbog Historical Village hosts the annual Whitesbog Blueberry Festival held on the last Saturday of June each year. The Village is located in Brendan T. Byrne State Forest in Browns Mills. Local Pinelands artists display and sell their arts and crafts at the festival. A blueberry pie-eating contest is the highlight of the festival, usually drawing a large crowd. The Pinelands Antique Engine Association historically displays antique fire engines and offers wagon rides and walking tours to the local blueberry farms that surround the State Forest. Local musicians continuously play live bluegrass music on a small stage during the festival.
Red, White and Blueberry Festival
The Red, White and Blueberry Festival in Hammonton provides plenty of activities for the whole family. Dates vary, but it is usually held the last Sunday in June, and not on the same day as the Whitesbog Blueberry Festival. The Red, White and Blueberry Festival features a classic car show, plenty of craft and food vendors and blueberries prepared in every way possible. The live entertainment is an eclectic mixture of music that generally includes country and bluegrass, but also some soft rock. Some carnival-type rides and pony rides entertain the small children.
Pick Your Own
Both blueberry festivals in New Jersey offer plenty of fresh-picked blueberries for sale. Even though freshness is guaranteed, nothing beats the experience of picking your own blueberries right from the bush. While in the Hammonton or Browns Mills areas, stop at one of the local "U-Pick" blueberry farms and pick some yourself. Children learn how blueberries are grown and enjoy the hands-on experience.
Wild Blueberries
Wild blueberries grow in most of the state forests in the southern part of New Jersey. While visiting the Whitesbog Blueberry Festival, take a walk through Brendan T. Byrne State Forest where you can find wild blueberries, which are smaller than the cultivated ones and not as sweet. Don't eat them, though -- leave them for the birds.

Most animals and insects do not usually attack unless injured or otherwise provoked, and common sense can prevent many bites and stings. You must always take sensible precautions before attempting, for example, to rescue a casualty from an angry dog or a swarm of bees. If you cannot cope alone, get help or call 995 for ambulance.
First-Aid Priorities Animal Bites Insect Stings Injuries by Marine Creatures Snake Bites Q & A
Make sure that you are in no danger, then remove the casualty from further danger Treat any visible wound or painful symptoms, and minimise the risk of further injury and infection. Obtain medical attention if necessary. Note the time and nature of the injury, and identify the attacking creature if possible. This enables medical personnel to deal with the injury itself and to anticipate possible complications, such as anaphylactic shock.
Bites from sharp, pointed teeth cause deep puncture wounds that can carry germs far into the tissues. Any bite that breaks the skin cause a wound very vulnerable to infection; it needs prompt first aid and medical attention. Human bites also crush the tissues. Hitting someone's teeth with bare fist can produce a "bite" wound at the knuckles.
Treatment for Animal Bites (For serious wounds) Control bleeding by applying direct pressure and raising the injured part.
Cover the wound with a sterile dressing or a clean pad bandaged in place. Arrange to take or send the casualty to hospital. Treatment for Animal Bites (For serious wounds)
1.Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and warm water. Treatment for Animal Bites (For superficial wounds)
Pat the wound dry with clean gauze swabs and cover with an adhesive dressing or small sterile dressing. Advise the casualty to see a doctor in case inoculation is needed. Treatment for Animal Bites (For superficial wounds)
Potential Infections of Animal Bites Rabies A potentially fatal viral infection of the nervous system, spread in the saliva of infected animals. Hepatitis B or C viruses There is probably only a small risk of hepatitis B or C viruses being transmitted through a human bite.
Safety Precautions Against Animal Bites Do not throw objects or provoke animals (Dogs etc…) Do not intrude their territory
Insect Stings Bee, wasp and hornet stings usually are painful rather than dangerous. An initial sharp pain is followed by mild swelling and soreness, which first aid can relieve. Some people are allergic to stings and can rapidly develop the serious condition of anaphylactic shock. Multiple stings can also be dangerous. Stings in the mouth or throat are serious, as swelling can cause obstruction to the airway.
Symptoms of Bee Stings Red, swollen, or warm lump Hives Rash Itching, tingling, numbness, burning, tenderness, pain Serious allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) occur when symptoms spread. These can include difficulty in breathing, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, fever, muscle spasms, or loss of consciousness. Call for emergency medical help right away.
Treatment for Insect Stings (For a sting in the skin) If the sting is still in the wound, pluck it out firmly with fine tweezers. If stung on the fingers or hands, remove any rings and watches in case of swelling. Wrap a few ice cubes in a towel and apply on the area for 10-15 minutes to stop the pain and swelling. Do not apply ice directly on the sting area to prevent frostbite. Advise the casualty to see his doctor if the pain and swelling persist.
Treatment for Insect Stings (For a sting in the mouth) Give the casualty ice to suck or cold water to sip, to minimise swelling. DIAL 995 FOR AN AMBULANCE. Reassure the casualty.
Treatment for Insect Stings (For Tick Bites) Using fine-pointed tweezers, grasp the tick's head as close to the casualty's skin as possible. Use a slight to-and-fro action to lever, rather than pull, the head out. The mouthparts will be very firmly embedded in the skin; try to avoid breaking the tick and leaving the buried head behind.
Treatment for Insect Stings (For Tick Bites)
Safety Precautions Against Insect Bites/Stings Use insect repellants Wear long pants / T-shirt During an attack, cover your face and run in a straight line as quickly as possible. Grab a net, coat, towel, or anything that will give you momentary relief. During your escape, try to find shelter like a house, tent or car with windows and door closed. Avoid other people as they too may come under attack. Bees may pursue for up to 400m They are slow fliers and most people can outrun a bee. Hence, be alert for bees coming in and out through cracks in a wall. Stay away once you notice a bee colony. Do not provoke it.
Injuries by Marine Creatures Sea creatures can cause injury in various ways. In some parts of the world, particularly in tropical regions, severe poisoning can occur, and occasionally death results from a severe allergic reaction (anaphylactic shock), or paralysis of the chest muscles leads to drowning.
Dangerous Sea Creatures Jellyfish Jellyfish stings occur when people brush against it in the water or step on those washed ashore. Jellyfish washed ashore can sting for weeks. Detached tentacles can also release venom. The Portuguese Man-of-War is well known for its painful and powerful sting. The stings can cause fever, shock as well as heart and lung problems. Sea wasps (Box Jellyfish) have tentacles containing thousands of stinging cells. Stings usually occur when people bump into them. The tentacles become sticky and adhere tightly to the skin. When the cells come into contact with human skin, they release their venom and cause severe pain.
Dangerous Sea Creatures Sea urchins Sea urchins are found in tropical and subtropical marine regions. The spines of the sea urchins are used to deliver their venom. The sting can cause severe burning pain, swelling, bleeding, itch, nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness and difficulty breathing. The symptoms may develop immediately and may last up to 6 hours. Deep puncture wounds may be seen after a sting. Stingrays Stingrays are often found buried and feeding in shallow water. Stingrays are not aggressive by nature. People are usually stung when they step on the stingray. The sting causes profuse bleeding, swelling and severe pain that can last for months. Other symptoms that may develop are nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, sweating, muscle cramps, and fits. Blue-ringed Octopus This is a very small octopus found in shallow tropical water and in tide pools. It is normally yellowish-brown but changes its rings to a bright blue when disturbed. The sting is usually painless but there may be symptoms of numbness, which may lead to paralysis and respiratory failure.
Lionfish Lionfish are brightly coloured fish and are usually found in coral reefs. They are also kept as pets in home aquariums. Lionfish have venomous fin spines that can produce painful puncture wounds. Their stings can also cause nausea, breathing difficulties, paralysis, fits and collapse. Scorpionfish Scorpionfish live in shallow water. The skin resembles algae or sponges and is often mottled, with patches of red or blue. This makes them difficult to tell them apart from rocks and seaweed. Scorpionfish have spines with venomous glands. Their stings can cause severe pain. Stonefish Stonefish may be round from exposed sand and mud. It looks exactly like encrusted rock and feeds on small fish and shrimps. It has a row of 13 venomous spines along its back. People are usually stung when they step on or catch a stonefish. The sting can cause severe pain, swelling, muscle weakness, numbness and shock. Dangerous Sea Creatures
Catfish Stings occur when these slimy-skinned fish are handled. The sting can cause pain and swelling. Cone shells Cone shells are marine snails found in reefs. They produce venom that may lead to symptoms of pain, swelling and numbness. Weakness, lack of coordination, nausea, itch and respiratory distress may also result. Sea cucumbers Sea cucumbers have an elongated body. Tentacles encircle the mouth. They live in temperate, subtropical and tropical waters. Contact with sea cucumbers can result in a rash and severe eye irritation. Blindness may occur if brought into contact with the eyes.
Treatment for Marine Stings Reassure the casualty and sit him or her down, Pour copious amounts of vinegar or sea water over the injury to incapacitate stinging cells that have not yet released venom. *Alcohol may aggravate the injury and should not be used. Avoid rubbing sand on the affected area.
Treatment for Marine Stings
Dust a dry powder over the skin around the affected area to make any remaining stinging cells stick together. Talcum powder is very good for this. Meat tenderiser, used in barbecue cooking, is also good as it contains papain, which inactivates venom. Treatment for Marine Stings
Gently brush off the powder with a clean, non-fluffy pad. If the injuries are severe, or there is a serious general reaction, DIAL 995 FOR AN AMBULANCE. If the casualty is having difficulty breathing, she may be in anaphylactic shock.
Treatment for Marine Puncture Wounds Gently pull out any protruding spines. Do not crush the spines. Soak the affected area into hot (not scalding) water for 30-90 minutes to ease pain. If pain returns later, try the heat soaks again. Take or send the casualty to hospital.
Safety Precautions against stings from Marine Creatures Proper footwear Be careful when handling catfish / stonefish / stingray as they have venomous spines Keep away from jellyfish
Snake Bites Black Spitting Cobra
Snake Bites A snake bite is often not a serious injury, but it can be very frightening. Snake bites that may result in serious injury include those from the cobra and blue coral snake. Reassurance is vital, for if the casualty keeps still and calm, the spread of venom may be delayed. Try to get a description of the snake. This will help the doctor to identify the snake and the correct treatment. Do not try to catch the snake. Notify the police if the snake remains at large.
How to Recognise a Snake Bite A pair of puncture marks. Severe pain at the site of the bite. Redness and swelling around the bite. Nausea and vomiting. Laboured breathing; in extreme cases, respiration may stop altogether. Disturbed vision. Increased salivation and sweating.
Treatment for Snake Bites Stay calm. Not all snakes are poisonous. Lay the casualty down. Tell her to keep calm and still. Wash the bite site with soap and water. DIAL 995 FOR AN AMBULANCE.
Treatment for Snake Bites If there is eye irritation, rinse the eye under gently running cool water for at least 15 minutes. Prevent run-off water from entering the unaffected eye. Immobilise the bitten limb, using a splint if possible and position it below the level of the heart. If she stops breathing, be ready to resuscitate if needed. *DO NOT apply a tourniquet, a bandage or ice on the wound, slash the wound with a knife, or suck the venom. Blue Coral Snake
Treatment for Snake Bites
Safety Precautions from Snake Bites Do not try and chase, provoke, catch or beat up the snake Move away if you spot a snake

TANZANIA has embarked on sport diplomacy to enable its athletes perform better and bring in medals from international events including the Commonwealth Games set for July, this year in Glasgow, Scotland.
diplomacy which is meant to enhance capacity building amongst the sportsmen and
women will include sending local athletes to other countries and learn new
tactics and improve their performance.
for Foreign Affairs and International Relations, Bernard Membe, said that at
the moment the country does not have international standard facilities for
training its athletes and this has prompted the government to seek assistance
from advanced countries.
start with, the government will send 50 athletes and about 16 coaches abroad to
train. A total of ten athletes will train in Ethiopia, ten in New Zealand, ten
in China and ten others in Turkey and the government will provide tickets and
per diem allowances while the rest of the expenses will be covered by the host
applaud the government for coming up with this brilliant idea and as Minister
Membe said, this is indeed good news for the country's ambitious plan to revive
the ailing standard of sports.
our sportsmen and women were training on facilities that don't meet
international standards and this led to their dismal performance in
international competitions but now, the government is committed to bring to an
end scenario of failure to win medals in big games.
The embarrassing failure has to end now and the country should retain its old
lost glory, especially in such events as Commonwealth Games, where the country
has a history of performing well.
our sportsmen and women winning in sports competitions, locally and
internationally, Tanzania will not be able to make any diplomatic sports impact
at home and abroad.
should remember that sports diplomacy has helped a number of countries in the
world in pushing forward their agendas, some of which had absolutely nothing to
do with sports.
at this juncture, the major focus should remain on helping our athletes step up
and improve their career and instil winning mentality. We always believe that
good preparations will definitely pay off.

I love my b21, but I droll over the b26. Is it just me, or do others suffer from hydralic thumb envy?
Nope. Doesn't make economic sense, for one thing.
Thanks for the reply Dennis. I quess the problem is not economic, but trying to jstify the more power, etc. Like I said, I LOVE my b21, its never failed me, has 1250 hrs. But there's this beautiful b26 with 850hrs that I could get for 10,000 over. I would never buy a new one, no economic sense to me. In any case, they are both wonderful, tough machines.
I would like a hydralic thumb but going from no thumb to a manual thumb is so exciting that I do not dwell on the subject.
We do a lot of clearing and pile burning. When rounding up a live burn pile a manual thumb can handle the heat better.
I can see wanting more power if you need it. If that were the case for me, I'd probably make a bigger jump in power then. Perhaps up to the L35 or L48.
The B26 is a more modern tractor than the B21 (which was one of Kubota's longest running models). That said, they both move dirt.
I had a B20 and decided it was time to trade up. I looked at some B21's but was informed that the hoe had the same power as the B20. So I tried a B26 backhoe and the difference is stunning. Way more power. Try it once and you won't go back. The other big advantage is the skid steer bucket attachment. I already bought a snow plow and a grapple bucket. I love the grapple bucket.
Got any picks of the snow plow? What brand is it? I have been thinking about getting one myself. Also what did it cost? Thanks in advance for any input.Quote:

I called them up and asked if they would cut a foot off each side. That was not a problem and I made the deal. I also have one of their grapple buckets.
We had one snow storm last year and that was before I bought the plow. After I got it we had no more snow the rest of the year. I never have tried it out. Because I have 1100 feet of gravel drive I made a pipe to fit below the cutting edge.
Not only did Kubota give this great machine more engine power, which was really needed, but
they also bumped up the hydraulic pressure to 2500psi from 2000psi. This puts it more
in league with deluxe compact tractors.
Allowing for easy upgrade to a thumb is a big plus, too.
No hood armor, however.....

Rhythm, from Qu-Bit Electronix, is a four channel trigger sequencer with built in rhythmic patterns. Each of the four channels have a rhythmic variation knob and corresponding CV input, to offset or change the rhythm out of that channel. The four channels each have their own outputs as well as mute buttons, for ease of mixing. There are four genre banks, each with twelve patterns, making a total of 48 grooves, not including the variation. Both the Genre and Pattern parameters can be voltage controlled. Rhythm makes it extremely easy to match tempos to a DAW, having a BPM read out of the internal clock (controlled by the large center knob), although one is not slaved to this. It also has a Clock In, in case it needs to be something other than a master clock. Reset and play buttons add some performative features for live adjustments.
- 4 Channel rhythmic trigger sequencer
- 4 Genre banks, Electronic, Hip Hop, World, and Misc
- 12 Patterns per Bank
- Individual outputs
- Variation CV inputs for each Channel
- BPM matching

Sorry I have been AWOL for so long but I am working six days a week now. I did want to update my "readers" on my "Survivor" status. In January, I will be celebrating my ten year Cancerversary!! However, I went in for my yearly mammogram (the first time I made it to a year between them) last week. Unfortunately they found a lump in the other breast (actually arm pit). It appears from the ultrasound they performed to be an enlarged, abnormally shaped lymphnode. I have to get all of my films and try to get into another "pro-rated/(oh dear GOD I hope free)" program in Houston and have another ultrasound in eleven weeks.
The good news is there was no biopsy ordered last week! :o) Right?? AND the mammogram AND ultrasound I had last week were F-R-E-E!!!!! Love that! It is hard to find these programs but they are out there. If you had cancer before and cannot get health insurance (like me) call the American Cancer Society, get the local chapter phone number and call them! Do not give up until they have gotten an answer for you. Continued screening is a necessity. I discovered this program when I was talking to another SURVIVOR at the Relay for Life in 2009.
Please do keep us in your prayers though. Life is nuts for this working mom of 6. I would not have it any other way though!

Disability Resources at the University of Arizona uses concepts from Disability Studies to inform practice. Disability scholars argue that disability is a sociopolitical construct created and perpetuated by an environment whose barriers exclude disabled people from access and participation. This concept minimizes the impact of an individual's impairment and locates the "problem", or burden of responsibility, to the environment. When considering curricular environments, shifting the focus from the individual student to the environment yields promising and exciting opportunities to design inclusive, accessible and sustainable learning experiences.
Universal Design (UD) concepts are useful in operationalizing this philosophy. Using UD principles, faculty and instructors can design learning assessments, activities, and course materials that are accessible and inclusive of a diverse range of students. The primary goal of inclusive course design is to maximize student learning by increasing access and participation. Planful curricular design can reduce the need for individual accommodations and create more engaging learning experiences for all students.
Here are some common curricular features and the potential impact of their design. The resources on this page seek to orient faculty and instructors to design concepts that will increase access in the classroom, as well as provide resources that synthesize research explaining the benefits of inclusive design.

Just finished the Granny Square Quilt along. I was quite happy with it. I am glad that I added four more blocks. It will now fit a twin size bed.
I like the touch of red mixed with the pink and white. I picked this red up in Pennsylvania a couple of years ago. I have added this to a couple of other quilts and really liked it.
I also joined the Vintage Holiday Quilt Along starting August 6 th. I almost bought this pattern last winter and figured I had enough to do then and forgot about it. Now I can do it. I picked up the material yesterday. My grandson just broke my husbands camera so I can't take any more pictures now. My husband took mind with him to work and I won't see him until Thursday. Now I have to go buy him a new one since I let him play with it. I have been wanting to buy a new one anyway, one that takes good night pictures.

Well it is the end of the week again. Just finished my block for the RTQAL. Today I am home by myself and am spending a quiet morning in my sewing room and I still make a mistake on my quilt block. The light area was supposed to be dark brown. I was so mad at myself but can't take it apart as I will probably run out of material before I finish this quilt. In the end it will fit in and will look great. My mother in law says you always should make a mistake on a quilt. It brings it luck. This should be the luckiest quilt around.
So here is the South Dakota quilt block.

Just finished putting eight blocks together for the RTQAL. My granddaughter Lauren and her friend Emily are holding it up for me. Lauren is on the right. They decided I should take them shopping. So much for spending the afternoon sewing. Well there is the rest of my life to sew for only such a short time to spend with grand kids. And another thing a trip to the fabric store. I hear there is a sale on.
#8 Minnesota Quilt Block
It's hard to believe that this is block number eight. The summer is slipping by. This block is Minnesota state. Eight more to go.
A wet rainy day so should be able to spend time in the sewing room today. Plan on getting some of the Boarders with Bowls done. Cross my fingers that nobody asks me to do something although I do have my granddaughter here with a friend.

Twelve blocks for the Granny Quilt along, only four more to go and then I think I will add some borders. Just got back from Prince Edward Island. Have to babysit my two grandchildren for the next two weeks. I hope to get some sewing done in the evenings. I have been really enjoying everyone's pictures and helpful tips. I have been learning so much. Thanks everyone.

Spent the afternoon working on the next block for the Road Trip Quilt Along, the Iowa Star. It was very changeling. Once I figured out how to paper piece it went well. Need a little more practise but I am sure before we finish the sixteen blocks I will get the hang of it. I was pleased with this one.

Camping at Yogie Bear Park in Woodstock NB. Having a great time with all my grand children. It is really hot up here. Had a thunder shower for about half hour. Cooled the air a little.

Bowls with Boarders Blog Hop
My practise block for the Bowls with Boarders Blob Hop. Not sure what my design will be but will come up with something. I am great with following patterns so this will be different for me.
I am not sure that I would want to make a queen size quilt paper piecing but this is fun. A nice wall hanging for my new kitchen will probably be what I will aim for.

Hi everyone. Another beautiful day on the Island. Hope everyone is having a great day. We are heading to North Rustico for Canada Day and the fire works. Its always beautiful down there.
I was working on my blocks for the Road trip quilt along and decided to put the first four togeather. I was anxious to see how the green material I bought went with it.

MRI in multiple sclerosis: current status and future prospects.
, 7
615 - 625.
Many promising MRI approaches for research or Clinical management of multiple sclerosis (MS) have recently emerged, or are under development or refinement. Advanced MRI methods need to be assessed to determine whether they allow earlier diagnosis or better identification of phenotypes. Improved post-processing should allow more efficient and complete extraction of information from images. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy should improve in sensitivity and specificity with higher field strengths and should enable the detection of a wider array of metabolites. Diffusion imaging is moving closer to the goal of defining structural connectivity and, thereby, determining the functional significance of lesions at specific locations. Cell-specific imaging now seems feasible with new magnetic resonance contrast agents. The imaging of myelin water fraction brings the hope of providing a specific measure of myelin content. Ultra-high-field MRI increases sensitivity, but also presents new technical challenges. Here, we review these recent developments in MRI for MS, and also look forward to refinements in spinal-cord imaging, optic-nerve imaging, perfusion MRI, and functional MRI. Advances in MRI should improve our ability to diagnose, monitor, and understand the pathophysiology of MS.

If you are talking about Hackintoshing, then yes, I might just do that, though getting a proper notebook (not netbook) to run Mac OS X is a bit harder, as far as I have gathered. And I am not really in love with Mac OS X, as I still see many faults with it(though love does not always makes one blind), especially with the new version, it is the only OS I feel comfortable with, and is not ugly as shit (sorry). I guess, I just like Spaces and Exposé and the rather dull colours compared to the colourfulness of Windows, which started with Windows 5.1 (I always reverted to the Classic look or Windows 2000). Anyway, a new computer is still a year or three off, so I can live with it, and maybe there will be good Linux variant out there I can run, though my applications will never run on them.
Just keep in mind, lads, that hackintoshing is illegal in the us, canada and the uk. Maybe its not a good idea to discuss it online.
Meh... the gpu could have been better... the 555m would be a decent mid-range gpu, or even better, an 560M - but it also depends on your budget. Aside from that, Holdfast... you can upgrade manually to 16GB RAM if you wanted to. Just get the cheapest 2x8GB DDR3 so-dimm you can find and you'll be good. Oh and, don't pay too much attention to Mhz speed on RAM... it means 0 in terms of real-life performance, gaming, etc. As I said, stick to the cheapest RAM - and brand doesn't really matter either. Aside from that... where are you situated and what's your budget?
You mean here? Were spammers roam free? There are plenty of Hackintosh message boards out there, and it is not really ILLEGAL, it is just violating the EULA. If one would sell Hackintosh computers like Psystar did, then that is kind of illegal and Apple will fuck you. But Apple is "kind" enough to not come after the few people, who use a Hackintosh or post on message boards about it and help each other out. They have bigger fish to fry, especially when they can get more money out of it, and Samsung has more money than Jane or John.
primarily used for video editing actually... i'll render down say 70 mins of HD footage from RAW and encode it through AVI after editing... even with 16gb Ram it normally takes about an hour or two to encode properly M
The computer used for rendering by the media students in my school has 48GB of ram. It has 12 ram slots with 4GB modules in each. You mean its powered by a ZPM? Wicked!
I have an mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro with the High-res screen, 2.4GHz i5, 500gig HDD, 6gigs of ram and Nvidia GeForce GT 330M with 256 MB.
Thanks for the info guys. As I said, for now it seems plenty fast enough for my needs, so the upgrade budget is precisely zero. My last laptop I kept for 5+ years as I mentioned, but upgraded the RAM at one point. Depending on how software demands progress, I may end up having to do that some years down the line, but it's not on the horizon any time soon. Good to know there are options though, thanks. Took me a moment, then I loled.
^ I was wondering if anyone would catch on. Btw, only time you need to give a damn regarding ram is when you are going to overclock. Otherwise, just by the cheapest compatible ram modules. But honestly, ram is basically free nowadays. I bought 4GB modules for 65€ each a few months ago. When i bought ram for my laptop a few weeks ago, I got 2x4GB for 30€.
Nonsense. What's the use of buying memory modules if you never use it? Also, some OSs can't even deal with anything above a certain amount so it will just sit there, unused, possibly using up power. For some things you need a lot of RAM, like serious video editing but the vast majority of computer users don't need it. Some need it for showing off, though.
The current versions of OS X and Windows can both deal with more memory than any computer currently being manufactured can support. And this will continue for some time, I think. It will be a LONG time before computers ever get made that can support more memory than those currently shipping OSes do. And by that time, the OSes themselves will be patched. So everything, in a sense, will always be caught up; nobody will ever again be stuck with a machine whose OS can't use all its memory. (The days of having to worry about things like "32-bit clean" are long since past.)
Yeah, I heard Windows 7 overtook Windows XP in market share recently. Still, 90% of computer users don't need more than 4 GB of RAM. I believe that buying more of anything than you really need is a waste of ressources and thus not a good policy.
Win7 Ultimate Edition Dual Core Intel 2.3ghz 3GB of PC6400 RAM 500GB HD Multi Drive DVD-CD Burner 24 bit Soundblaster HD card New 1GB DDR3 Gigabyte graphics card New 32" Hitachi Ultrathin LED monitor New 400 Watt power supply New Dual-Band N Router(NOt in the pictures) New wireless Logitech Mk320 keyboard and Mouse(Not in the pictures) 2.1 AL Speakers
^ Now, that's a pretty nice setup. A bit cluttered for my taste, but otherwise, its totally me. Fast and functional. Btw, this is my Command Center. I have a temporary Benq screen now since the old one died. But its crap, so it doesn deserve to be present.

In fact, projections show that the company is unlikely to beat estimates and may even report a decline. However analysts expect ad revenue to jump up to the mid to high single digits.

First Home Maintenance Steps When You Move in
Moving into a new home can be a real challenge. The moving costs are expensive, as is the cost associated with your down payment and closing costs on a mortgage. The last thing that many people are thinking about is the costs associated with maintaining your new home. However, it is important to start monitoring the home and keeping it in good repair. If you are buying your home from a seller and not having it newly constructed you simply do not have any real idea of the status of the home and what the needs for the home are, outside of a quick inspection. Which gets us to the first recommendation.
Have A Home Inspection Done
One of the first things you should do is have an in-depth inspection done of your home, beyond that which you did before you had your home inspected for the purchase. Have an HVAC professional inspect your HVAC system. Have a plumber inspect your plumbing system. Have roofers Phoenix inspect the situation of your roof and gutter. While all of these inspections will cost some money, they can save you money if the identify issues early on that can be quickly remedied before they lead to bigger issues down the road.
Take Care of Major Problems Early
If major problems are identified the best time to take care of them are before you move into your new home so that they don't serve as a distraction from your life. Have major issues taken care of early on before you move in. It will be easier for you this way and less of a challenge for your home contractors as they won't have to worry about disturbing your family or loved ones by impeding into your life.
Develop a Plan for Home Maintenance
Start to develop a schedule and a plan for tackling the major home remedies and maintenance. Many of these home maintenance plans take time and effort to handle and correct for so be sure to know the time that you will need to spend on each one. Create a plan for each major item such as outdoor maintenance and garden, HVAC systems, plumbing systems and so on. Be sure to include items even if you are using an outside contractor to handle these issues as you can start to check them off as you have each item handled. This can help you from forgetting these major renovations and letting your home slip into disarray as time goes on.
Maintaining a home is not easy but by having your major systems inspected by professionals, having issues taken care of early on and regularly, and making a checklist and plan for home maintenance items, you can save yourself the hassle and issues associated with letting these concerns slip and accumulate into bigger problems down the road. It is generally more challenging to fix issues after the fact than to be proactive with good quality home maintenance and this should be the goal of any responsible homeowner.

Desiree Day heads USO Celebrity Entertainment, a civilian non-profit organization, where all forms of entertainment is appreciated. She started out as a club owner/promoter in Syracuse and now she produces entertainment with the entire globe as her stage.
Hindsight being 20/20, Desiree now realizes that she was going to be working around music for most of her life. "When I was seven years old I met Clark Terry," she recalls. "He was sitting in my parent's living room in the wee hours of the morning. He was on the road with the Duke Ellington Orchestra at the time, and my parents, being the jazz lovers they were, had a habit of bringing home musicians after their gigs for home-cooked breakfasts and a dose of music chit-chat." Desiree's first entree into the music business was managing the nightclub Jabberwocky on Syracuse University's campus, 1978-79. From there she went into the not-for-profit record retail business ("a conundrum, I know"), running Spectrum Records from 1979-1984. "I would have live bands play in the record store on Friday afternoons and our 'midnight madness sales' were always a great success. I loved creating organized chaos. Spectrum called me back a couple of more times during some financial crisis in 1986 and again in 1989 to see if I could help turn sales around. Luckily for me, whatever I did seemed to work in the right direction." After that stint, Desiree left to try her hand in the clothing business, and opened a small boutique-type shop, "Bennie & Beena," in the Armory Square section of downtown Syracuse. "My partner and I learned a lot about the business," Desiree says. "I also learned what I did not like about the business. Running a retail-clothing store with fashion a little too forward for the Syracuse market at that time was not going to happen. The business was such a different pace than what I was used to and I found selling music and being around music was much more fun." Returning to her first love - music -Desiree became the music editor for the Syracuse New Times, an alternative weekly started in 1969 ("still alive and well") for a couple of years. From 1986-1996 she also was contributing editor for the paper. Whatever Desiree found herself doing, she managed to fit live music somewhere into the equation. From 1994-96 she owned a small restaurant in Syracuse with her sister Deirdre called Witherspoons. "We always had live music even though you could barely swing a cat in the place. When the building was sold to a new developer they decided to do something else with the building." After heading to New York City's Upper West Side to run a couple of restaurants, Desiree decided quickly she had made the wrong decision. As much as she loved the "big city" she realized quickly that she wasn't making nearly enough money to really live in the Big Apple like one should. So, she packed up and returned to the Syracuse area. As luck would have it, Desiree got a call in February 1999 from a friend -- the entertainment director of USO Celebrity Entertainment in Washington, D.C. -- from Bahrain, asking her if she could come to D.C. to work with her on a freelance basis. Desiree naturally jumped at the chance and headed for Washington, working on any projects she was handed, from bookkeeping and filing to recruiting bands to go overseas to entertain the troops. "I stayed in a freelance position at USO World Headquarters until December 1999," says Desiree. "They offered me a full-time position with the organization and I came on board officially January 2000." How is the USO's entertainment department set up? Have you gone out with any tours? The tour was called "Starflight over Southwest Asia July 1-7, 2001." We went to Dubai, UAE and Manama, Bahrain. We took out Melissa Joan Hart from "Sabrina-The Teenage Witch," Ron Lester from the movie Varsity Blues and the TV show "Popular," Bill Brochtrup from "NYPD Blue" and Jenna Von Oy who co-starred on the TV show "Blossom" and is currently in the sitcom "The Parkers." We stopped at military bases and military activity centers. We were flown out by jet 120 miles into the middle of the Persian Gulf to the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Constellation and spent the day on the carrier shaking hands, eating with, signing autograph sheets, having pictures taken ... all with the troops. The carrier has 5,000 people on it, like a small city. We got tours of the ship as well. A wild experience, to say the least...and the whole time it was 120 degrees! When music groups go on a USO tour, do they bring their own production? At times we may get a call from an artist with a large production behind them. If this is the case we will try to set the tour up in and around bases with larger facilities. Some of the shows may be from the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. Each tour takes on its own particular characteristics. We supply a tour manager and a production manager on every tour. Bands usually bring along their techies as well. What would you like people to know about the USO? Historically, few events have left a more lasting and positive impression on soldiers, sailors, airmen, Coast Guardsmen, Marines, and their families than USO Entertainment. The legacy reaches back to the days of Bob Hope, Marilyn Monroe and Sammy Davis, Jr., and forward through recent tours including Salma Hayek, Christie Brinkley, Hootie & the Blowfish, Sheryl Crow, the Blues Travelers, The Robert Cray Band, Reba McEntire, Tonic, as well as many more. Do you have any difficulty in recruiting talent to tour the armed forces overseas? We first try to go to the most remote and isolated regions where they are stationed. There is not a nightclub for them to go to at the DMZ zone in Korea, or in the Balkans (Macedonia, Bosnia, Kosovo) or in and around the Persian Gulf - Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and ships at sea. So when the USO delivers a show or a handshake that "touch of home" for the troops is a great experience. The entertainers always come away with a positive experience and always ask when can they go back out. First industry job Career highlight Career disappointment Greatest challenge Best business decision Worst business decision Best business advice Most memorable concert or event What would people be surprised to learn about you Office paraphernalia Industry pet peeve Desiree can be reached by phone at 202-610-6490 or by email at email@example.com.
The entertainment department at the USO did not really have a recruitment department set up. They asked if I would write my own job description for the position and after making a few edits they put me to work. Shana Schwartzberg, who has been freelancing with the USO over the past few years, began to work alongside me in the recruiting department and helped get me up to speed on all the ins and outs of the military world. Shana has been my USO mentor as well. After having a baby last January, Shana continues to work with me on a part-time basis. Her knowledge and history of the USO has been indispensable to me. I could not have been here without her guidance.
I took out my first tour -- as the tour manager -- this past July. This was called a handshake tour -- meet 'n' greet with the troops -- signing autograph sheets and T-shirts for the troops.
When bands are involved they bring along their own equipment. We try to keep things scaled down because of all the travel and a lot of the venues in and on the military bases are not like domed stadiums and arenas like here in the States. Some of the places we go to we rig up or make the best of the situation. Some have stages or areas for the band. But remember, these are isolated and remote areas. Tonic was the first rock n' roll band to play in Kosovo last year.
The USO is still very alive and well. After celebrating 60 years of service last February, the USO continues a strong tradition of illustrious program delivery. Bringing entertainment to hundreds of bases throughout the world, the USO continues to bring a touch of home to our troops overseas.
What makes it difficult is that we do not pay a talent fee. We deal with the management end for the most part. Obviously the agents don't want to talk to us. Our fee is about the same as when the USO tours first started. We pay $50a day honorarium. The USO does take care of all the transportation, lodging, and production costs of the tour. Our mission is to try to convince the entertainment field that a tour or a visit to our men and women who serve all of us, 365 days a year, is a worthwhile endeavor. The audience is one of the best in the world.
I ran a club on the Syracuse University campus in the late '70s. Although Jabberwocky was located in the basement of a dining hall, with poor sight lines, and could hold only about 350 people when the fire marshals weren't looking, it had a wonderful roster of talent that flew in and out of the doors over from the late '60s through the mid '80s. Ry Cooder, Charlie Mingus, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Cyndi Lauper, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Weather Report, The Marsalis Family, Talking Heads, Chick Corea, Taj Mahal, and James Brown are just a few of the names that appeared on the small stage one evening or another.
I have been lucky because there have been so many. Being in the right place at the right time pretty well explains it
Watching the music business get greedier and greedier over the years.
Almost all of the businesses I have been involved with over the years were in various stages of three alarm fires when I took over. Helping to turn all of them around has given me lots of satisfaction. -- Jabberwocky, Spectrum Records, the Zodiac Club, Phoebe's Garden Cafe, Witherspoons - all in Syracuse, N.Y.
Taking risks and opening my own businesses -- Bennie & Beena, a small clothing boutique and Witherspoons, a restaurant with live music.
Thinking that Syracuse, N.Y. was as forward thinking as my ideas.
"To thine own self be true." I believe that if I am doing the right thing for the right reason, the rest will follow.
Co-producing Sun Ra at the Landmark Theater, Syracuse, N.Y., 1986 and being flown out to and spending the day on the USS Constellation in the middle of the Persian Gulf as tour manager for my first USO tour overseas this summer.
That after working around people in and around the entertainment business for years, I still have a very shy side.
A large wall map of the world, a frame with a picture of each of my four dogs, a stress toy in the shape of a cow, a signed photo of Mickey Rooney and his wife that they used for last year's Christmas card.
Rude, rude, rude people. The entertainment industry seems to have it locked up on rudeness. It is not usually the ones on the top, i.e., managers, owners, CEOs, etc. It's the assistants who are the pains-in-the-butt. California and NYC have it locked up.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
From its opening expectant hush via its central Adagio movement (composed in memory of Bruckner's mother) to its Austrian folk dance-influenced final movement, Bruckner's Symphony No. 3 displays both the key influence of Wagner and the composer's structural flair, which earned his symphonies the description 'cathedrals of sound'. Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, currently the world's oldest major working conductor, is renowned for his affinity with Bruckner and the LPO has performed Bruckner's symphonies under his baton many times. This recording was taken from a very well critically received live concert performance at Royal Festival Hall, London, in March 2014. Mr. Skrowaczewski uses his own, unpublished edition of the Symphony in this recording, offering the listener a unique experience and an opportunity to get inside the mind of one of Bruckner's finest interpreters.
American Record Guide, July/August 2015
This is outstanding. I would go so far as to put it alongside the Bohm (1971 on Decca) as the two greatest recordings ever. How does it differ? The first movement is faster, and all the rest are a bit slower. Both performances take about 57 minutes. The sound has less bass and more clarity. Both conductors obviously know this music in a way few others ever had. Wonderful sound.

It's the news I hoped I didn't have to share, but alas it has arrived. We hoped during the flat Black Friday and decent Cyber Monday that we could edge out the holiday season with a slight gain. But while web site traffic was up by 5% to retail sites this holiday season, it didn't translate into an increase in sales. Instead, e-tailers saw an overall decline in holiday sales of 3% in 2008, according to comScore
"The 2008 online holiday shopping season has declined 3 percent versus year ago, falling behind our expectation of flat sales this year," said comScore chairman Gian Fulgoni. "This marks the first time we've seen negative growth rates for the holiday season since we began tracking e-commerce in 2001. The combination of having five fewer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas and the severe economic headwinds faced by consumers has made this a really tough season for retailers, both offline and online."
The good news, in my humble opinion, is that 2007, the year to which 2008 is being compared to, was somewhat of a banner year. It was up 19% over 2006. So, 2008 was still up 16% over two years ago. 2006 was also a huge year over 2005. I think when we hear Wall Street folks talk about the markets correcting themselves, this 3% decline is symbolic of that. I just don't know how the growth of online sales in 2006-2007 could really have been sustained.

The National Union of Teachers is too left-wing, says Ian Grayson, whos running for deputy general secretaryIan Grayson has been a PE teacher at Kenton school in Newcastle for 28 years. He is a national executive member for Tyne and Weir for the National Union of Teachers and is currently running for deputy general secretary of the union.It was my love of sport that led me into teaching.

It was a very easy decision for me to train as a PE teacher when I left school, I never considered any other career. My first job was at Kenton school in Newcastle and Ive been there for 28 years.
