Look, Ma, no hands!
Without doubt, one of the most appealing features of the iPod touch is navigating all your music via the touchscreen interface. However, sometimes when you're on the move, headphones in and your iPod touch in your pocket, you don't want to have to fish the player out to select a new artist or playlist. If only you could clap your hands, nod your head, or just say what you want to happen and have it magically happen. Well, today's your lucky day. The 32GB iPod touch sports Voice Control. By simply speaking commands, you can select artists, playlists, or albums. You can even ask what song is playing and the iPod touch will tell you via the headphones. Speaking of the headphones, it's the microphone integrated into the earbuds that enables this truly hands-free feature. In addition to the touchscreen interface, Voice Control offers you a versatile, simple way to navigate the 32GB iPod touch's 7,000 song-capacity. And, on top of it all, Voice Memo and the built-in mic team up to let you leave yourself voice reminders on the iPod touch.
One word: Apps
They're all the rave: Apps. Short for "applications". But, what are they? Better yet, what aren't they. The iPod touch's open-source design has made it possible for thousands of software developers to create applications specifically designed for the Apple iPod touch. Shop at Apple's App Store, and you have access to over 75,000 innovative applications for your iPod touch. The variety of Apps is truly astounding: everything from games like Top Gun and Gitar Rock Tour 1, to Music & Entertainment apps like Pandora, Camera Bag, Drum Kit, Yelp, and Lonely Planet, to social networking apps like Facebook, Twittelator Pro, and MySpace Mobile. And, really, we're just scratching the surface here . . . remember: there are over 75,000 Apps! And to help you discover your next favorite App, the iPod touch now features Genuis recommendations. Tap the Genius icon, and the iPod touch instantly offers suggestions based on your current selection of Apps.
Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5" display, the Multi-Touch touchscreen interface lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, zoom in and out on a section of a web page, and control game elements precisely. iPod touch features an intelligent touchscreen keyboard perfect for browsing the web in Safari, getting directions on a map, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, or adding new contacts. It analyzes keystrokes to suggest words as you type and correct spelling errors automatically. And because it's software based, it changes its keys to support typing in multiple languages.
iPod touch detects when you rotate it from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display. So you immediately see the entire width of a web page, view a photo in its proper aspect ratio, or control a game using only your movements. Accelerometer technology really shines when you play games because it immerses you in the action. It's perfect for racing games, where your entire iPod touch acts as a steering wheel, and for tap-and-tilt games such as Super Monkey Ball, in which your character responds to your every movement.
Surf's up
iPod touch locates nearby wireless hotspots, including protected networks. If you've never used a particular network, it asks you to enter a password the first time, and it remembers the password from then on. So the next time you're within range, it connects automatically. Now you can send email from a coffee shop. Surf the web at the airport. Shop for games from your couch. Browse, buy, and download music from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store at select Starbucks locations or other hotspots in your area.
Music with Genius
Remember what it felt like to flip through your CD or record collection? Cover Flow brings that feeling back. Just turn iPod touch on its side and flick through your music to find the album you want to hear. Tap the cover to flip it over and display a track list. Tap again to start the music. Even view lyrics while you're listening. iPod touch is also a musical Genius. Say you're listening to a song you really like and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. The new Genius feature finds songs in your library that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. You can listen to the playlist right away, save it for later, or even refresh it and give it another go. Count on Genius to create a mix you wouldn't have thought of yourself. Fill up your iPod touch with audio and video from your iTunes library. All you have to do is choose the playlists, videos, and other content you want to sync and let iTunes do the rest.
Movies + TV shows
Carry hours of video with you and watch it on a crisp, clear 3.5" color widescreen display. Need ideas? From Hollywood blockbusters to independent favorites, there's something for everyone at the iTunes store. Download and watch movies with a few clicks. Prefer TV shows? Buy a single episode or an entire season's worth all at once. While watching your video, tap the display to bring up the onscreen controls. You can play/pause, view by chapter, and adjust the volume. You can also use the new volume controls on the left side of iPod touch. Want to switch between widescreen and full screen? Simply tap the display twice. Need some entertainment for your next flight or road trip? With iTunes on your Mac or PC, you can sit at your computer and choose the movies and TV shows you want to sync to your iPod touch.
Home screen
You can arrange the icons on your Home screen any way you want. Even move them to another Home screen. Create up to nine Home screens for quick access to the games and applications you download from the App Store and to your Safari Web Clips. No matter where you are on iPod touch, you can press the Home button to return to the Home screen. You can go back to what you were doing at any time. Whenever you download an application from the App Store, a new icon appears on your Home screen. And if you check the same websites every day, just create Web Clips and you can access the sites directly from your Home screen with a single tap. Not happy with how they're organized? Reorder them any way you want by dragging them around the screen.
Show thousands of photos from the palm of your hand. Flick to scroll through thumbnails. Tap to view full screen. Rotate to see a photo in landscape. Pinch to zoom in or out. Play slideshows, complete with music and transitions. Email a photo to a friend, set it as your wallpaper, or share it in a MobileMe Gallery. If you receive a great image in an email, save it to your photo library on iPod touch. Once there, it acts just like any other photo. You can set it as your wallpaper, share it on the web, or pass it on. iPod touch uses iTunes to sync photos you have in iPhoto on a Mac or Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Photoshop Album on a PC. Just choose which photos or albums to sync to your iPod touch, then you can look at them and share them anywhere you go.
Tune your run
iPod touch now includes built-in Nike + iPod support. Just slip the Nike + iPod Sensor (sold separately) into your Nike + shoe and start your run. The sensor communicates wirelessly with your iPod touch, tracking your time, distance, and calories burned. It even gives you voice feedback on your progress. This feature also works with new cardio equipment available in many fitness centers. Just look for Nike + iPod compatible treadmills, elliptical machines, stair steppers, and stationary bikes. When you get back to your computer, sync your iPod touch via iTunes and transfer your exercise data to nikeplus.com, where you can track your workouts, set goals, and challenge friends.

What a great little device! Im retired and thought Id never need such a device. I figured this was an electronic toy for young folks. How wrong I was! Every day I discover a new function on my iPod. Now Ive downloaded family pictures, podcasts, music, and even books. I had debated about purchasing a Kindle. But now that the Kindle application is free, I have that capability, as well. And reading books on the iPod is enjoyable. The text is large enough to see, and books are easy to navigate. I primarily purchased the iPod because of its Internet and e-mail functions. I wanted to stay in touch with the family while in Europe this summer. I do love that capability, as well, and look forward to using the device while on our extensive summer trip.
It did take me a while to figure out how to use all the functions, but navigating the web allowed me to access the information I needed.

Bought as a gift for my daughter her Touch was a little touchy. In the beginning it refused to play many items from her I Tunes library. A local Apple technician checked it out and told her the I Pod was fine . . . it was just a glitch. She had registered her player and got an email update. Much to her relief after that update the player started to play all the songs in her library.

KALKASKA — Authorities continued a search for an Orange Township man who disappeared from his family home.
Michael Bayne, 45, was last seen Monday about 10 p.m. and left his cell phone, wallet and vehicle behind. Kalkaska County Undersheriff Abe Devol said Bayne remains missing and the cause of the disappearance remains unknown.
"There's no reason to believe it's foul play at this time," he said. "We're still considering him voluntarily missing."
Devol said a critical incident response team from Crawford County assisted in the search on Thursday.
Bayne is described as 6 feet, 5 inches tall, 195 pounds with blonde hair and blue eyes and was last seen wearing a green flannel shirt, jeans or sweat pants and black tennis shoes.
Members of the public who may have seen Bayne or have information about his whereabouts are asked to call Kalkaska County Sheriff's Department at 231-258-3350.

Airtight system security with Grsecurity
Seal It!
Security-conscious people dig a deep moat with crocodiles around their homes, hide their furniture in back rooms, and only let visitors into the bathroom if they know the secret password. Grsecurity follows a similarly extreme principle.
A small Linux patch collection called Grsecurity (for Greater Security) transforms the Linux kernel into an extremely untrusting fellow. Grsecurity unleashes a whole package of actions that preemptively block out attackers. Each user is initially treated as a principal source of danger. For example, Grsecurity only allows certain users to call dmesg; it locks the /proc directory, and it prevents access to /dev/kmem, /dev/mem, and /dev/port. Grsecurity also moves applications to a random location in memory (address space layout randomization), and it hides all the kernel threads.
The core of Grsecurity is Role-Based Access Control (RBAC for short), which sits on top of existing rights management. Grsecurity initially deprives all users of their access
rights, even hiding parts of the filesystem from them, and thus allows only the bare necessities. The administrator can then allow specific actions for individual users. Users with similar tasks can be grouped as "roles," and the admin can then grant additional rights to these roles. For example, the webmaster group needs to start the SSH daemon, but the database administrator group does not.

Negotiate : reaching agreements over water
12 March 2010 | Downloads - publication

Dore, John. ed. ; Robinson, Julia, ed. ; Smith, Mark, ed.; IUCN, Water and Nature Initiative
WANI Toolkit
Water practitioners are increasingly called upon to negotiate workable agreements about how to best use, manage and care for water resources. NEGOTIATE makes the case for constructive engagement and cooperative forms of negotiation in dealing with complex water issues. It unpacks constructive approaches such as Multi-Stakeholder Platforms (MSPs) and consensus building, and finally focuses on the diversity of agreements which can be produced to regulate or encourage fairer and more effective water allocation and use.
This guide aims to provide practical tools for government officials, NGOs and local communities to create platforms for negotiations that are balanced and open, in order to arrive at collaborative action to improve water resources management.The book contains a brief overview of theory in this field, followed by practical tools and steps to change power relations. It describes how to analyse the issues and political play involved, convince colleagues and stakeholders, set up campaigns and advocacy, set in place participatory methods, enter negotiations, and move towards a multi-stakeholder platform for action.

City Council approved a plan Thursday that would require bicycle delivery workers to take a required safety course, paid for by their employer, according to NY1.
A second bill calls for penalties for businesses that do not provide safety gear for their delivery people, such as helmets and reflectors. Also, the New York City Department of Transportation will now have enforcement power over commercial bicyclists – previously the job of the NYPD.
For now, the DOT has only six people to enforcing the new rules. However, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn told the news channel that the goal is to increase those numbers in the next few months.
"We want the days of the Wild Wild West to come to an end," City Councilman James Vacca, D-Bronx, told NY1. "We've had too many instances where people on commercial bikes have really posed a danger."
A New York State Restaurant Association spokesman told the Associated Press that safety courses could be helpful, but adds that some of the other measures are more likely to burden businesses.

PORTLAND -- The flu has reached epidemic levels in the U.S., but there are now signs that the flu season is peaking in some areas.
The Centers for Disease Control said southern states, where the flu first hit, are reporting fewer cases.
In Oregon, the flu season is just starting, and flu vaccines are selling out.
More: Flu more widespread in US; eases off in some areas
For now, the staff at Bowman's Hillsdale Pharmacy is taking names and numbers of customers and putting them on a waiting list.
Pharmacist Laurie Marx said they were very busy Thursday and ended up selling out of the vaccine.
She's also been getting calls from doctors who've sold out, who were wondering if she had any to spare.
More: Oregon flu vaccine finder
The pharmacy administered 20 flu shots Thursday, and at times, all their chairs were full of people waiting patiently for their shot.
"It was rather hectic. We do flu vaccinations like filling a prescription. If someone has to wait for a vaccination, it's true; we're not the McDonald's of vaccines," Marx said.
On Thursday KGW mentioned two of the local pharmacies that had run out of vaccine: the downtown Safeway, and the Rite-Aid in the Pearl District.
Those pharmacies were restocked Friday.
Marx said the best bet to get a flu shot is simply to pick up the phone and call ahead.

Red-hot Lightning host Kings Tuesday
LOS ANGELES KINGS (25-18-10, 60 points)
at TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING (23-23-5, 51 points)
Puck drops: Tuesday, 7:35 p.m. EDT
Line: Tampa Bay -115, Los Angeles -105, Total: 5
The Kings look to snap a two-game losing skid while the Lightning try to pick up a standings point for the eighth consecutive game when these two squads meet for an inter-conference matchup on Tuesday night.
The Kings currently occupy the seventh seed in the Western Conference but are in the midst of a goal-scoring drought, dropping the first two contests of a six-game road trip in a 1-0 loss to the Blues and a 2-1 loss to the Hurricanes. Tuesday's game presents an interesting matchup as the Kings—who feature the league's least potent offense (2.1 goals per game)—square off against the terrible Lightning defense, allowing an NHL-worst 3.3 goals per game. G Jonathan Quick (22-13-9, 1.91 GAA, .934 SV Pct.) will be between the pipes for Los Angeles and is a perfect 2-0-0 against the Bolts all-time, making 67 saves on 68 shots in three career appearances. The Lightning have won six of their past seven games and are slowly climbing back up the standings in the Southeast Division. Tampa is playing its best hockey of the season, scoring four or more goals in its past four home games. G Dwayne Roloson (7-10-2, 3.65 GAA, .882 SV Pct.) will make his first start in four games for Tampa. The 41-year-old netminder is 1-6-1 over his past eight starts and has allowed 4+ goals in each of the seven losses. Even though the Lightning are the hotter team, their winning streak is a bit misleading, with four of the six victories coming against teams out of the top eight in their respective conferences. And with the Kings' 10-7-6 road record, there is a ton of value in this line. LOS ANGELES will be the hungrier team and pick up the win.
This anti-Lightning FoxSheets trend also favors the Kings:
TAMPA BAY is 1-7 ATS (12.5%, -7.1 Units) off a win by 3 goals or more over a division rival over the last 2 seasons. The average score was TAMPA BAY 1.6, OPPONENT 3.5 - (Rating = 1*).
The Kings have used stellar defense and goaltending to remain in playoff contention in the brutal Western Conference. Despite a lack of secondary scoring behind C Anze Kopitar (16 G, 30 A), the Kings have the third-best defense in the league, allowing just 2.1 goals per game.
L.A. plays a much stingier style under new coach Darryl Sutter, who is 10-4-6 since taking over midway through the season. Much like the Blues under Ken Hitchcock, the Kings are content winning 1-0 and 2-1 games. Cornerstone defensemen Drew Doughty (4 G, 20 A) and Jack Johnson (8 G, 15 A) lead the way for the Kings on the blueline, and Quick ranks fourth in GAA and SV Pct. among all NHL goaltenders.
Unlike Los Angeles, Tampa needs to score a lot of goals in order to win games. Luckily, the Bolts feature one of the league's premier scoring tandems in RW Martin St. Louis (16 G, 33 A) and C Steven Stamkos (34 G, 23 A). Stamkos leads the NHL in goals by five, and is well on pace for this third consecutive season with 40+ goals.
If the Lightning have any shot at making the playoffs, they must find a way to shore up their lousy defense. The return of 21-year-old D Victor Hedman, who missed 13 games with a concussion, will certainly be a big boost for the Tampa blueline. The Bolts are 2-0-1 since Hedman's return.

---- — GEORGETOWN — Local police and firefighters are expected to comb the 2,100-acre Crane Pond Wildlife Management Area this morning as they continue to search for a Thurlow Street man missing since Thursday.
Police Chief James Mulligan said local emergency responders, augmented by Groveland police, should be out in force starting at 8 a.m. The official search for 65-year-old Bo Hedberg began Monday morning when local, state and environmental police climbed aboard a snow track and spent several hours scouring the snowed-in area.
Hedberg was reported missing by his wife, Gail Hedberg, Thursday evening, saying she had returned home and found no signs of her husband. Gail Hedberg is the owner of The Shake Station on Unicorn Street in downtown Newburyport.
According to a Facebook page created by Gail Hedberg, her husband was injured in a motor vehicle accident a week prior to his disappearance and was wearing a green ski jacket and jeans when he left the house.
A call to Gail Hedberg was not immediately returned.
Yesterday, a search of the Crane Pond area by a group of eight to 10 family friends turned up no clues, according to a post on Facebook. The searchers used snowshoes and ski poles to traverse the snow-covered area around Crane Pond. Group members said they won't search today because they don't want to distract police dogs or obstruct the progress of law enforcement. But they may head back out tomorrow if today's search comes up empty.
Mulligan said while he knows people are desperate to find Hedberg, he urged folks to let trained emergency responders conduct the searches, saying he is fearful of volunteers becoming lost themselves.
"But again I know the passion and I understand people will do what they need to do," Mulligan said.
The Crane Pond area, which has a handful of nature trails meandering through a densely wooded terrain, is located in a remote corner of Georgetown straddling the Byfield/West Newbury border. It is one of the largest undeveloped tracts of land in the region. Much of it has been flooded in recent years by a steady return of beavers, and many parts of it are inaccessible due to wetlands.
Asked whether police might expand their search, Mulligan said it made more sense to stay around the Crane Pond area based on a cellphone ping they picked up at the location.
"Right now, our focus is that location, because literally that's the only evidence we have," Mulligan said.
The family has put together a Facebook page asking others to help them in the search at facebook.com/FindBoHedberg. Those with any information should call Georgetown police at 978-352-5700.

A buddy of mine has one of those amps, it's WONDERFUL. The Cain's are using what driver? The tapered wave pipes make for nice bass loading, I think you're in for a treat.
Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.
My Abbys are the "Normal" version which uses the Fostex Fe 166e driver (versus the "Nearfield" model employing the Fostex FF 165K). In this cabinet, Stereophile (for what it's worth) elevated the Fe 166e to "Highly Recommended." They're on the truck and will be here tomorrow. I'm definitely in "Fat Kid with a Cupcake" mode.
Yeah Russ, the SE OTL at 1.5 watts (stereo mode) into the Klipsch RF-3's is jaw dropping. And, I suppose I could have quit there and just sat back and smiled. But, I want to hear what an OTL setup mono blocked has to offer with no crossover networks in the signal path and one transducer per channel.
After experiencing Rozenblit's kit quality, it's almost a given that his GG (grounded grid) pre will soon join the lineup.
Awesome setup, I bet that sounds schweeeeet.

Very good looking system. I've heard the Abbys a few times and they sound great. They even make a matching sub now that integrates really well.

Thanks, Steve. It is a completely "different" sound than my push-pull EL34 based amps. Open, lots of air, that sort of thing.Originally posted by steveinaz
Awesome setup, I bet that sounds schweeeeet.
It's so dead quiet that I have to tell a story on myself.
When I got it hooked-up in the rack, powered it up and let it warm up well, I then powered up the tube pre, and stuck my ear up to the horn loaded tweeters on the Klipsch -- I thought "SH*T! It doesn't work!!" Not even a whisper of sound. I cranked the pre to 12 o'clock. Not a whisper of sound. I backed the pre off to 9 o'clock and hit the play button on the CDP. The power of 1.5 watts into the Klipsch about gave me total cardiac arrest - probably 120 db where I was standing! Schweeeeet Geezus!

I read the reviews on the Bailey Sub - seems like an impressive match with low powered gear. I'm hoping, with my bass tastes, not to need/want a sub.
Terry Cain makes some drop-dead-gorgeous enclosures. He and F1nut have a common background in high-end furniture craftsmanship. Wish I could get Jesse interested in building a pair of Hedlund Horns.;) That design fascinates me as well.

With all due respect, I believe the SQ from the flea speck would give you wood and, then, goosebumps on the wood. ;)
Thanks, Zero. It was a total, flat-footed GOTCHA! 1.5 watts Class A snuck right up on me. I consider my DCM amp to be very clean and on the lower spectrum of "high end." It creates a tweeter whisper at idle in both the SRS and Klipsch speakers (probably higher current in the output?), as do my SS and hybrid amps. Not this flea speck.Originally posted by Zero
.. good to see I am not the only one to have suffered from such a blunder of judgement!
It's also very cool to know that my EE tube preamp adds no noise floor to the signal. I always thought so, but couldn't prove it until now.
That looks neat, have fun.
Thanks, Mark. Come by and have a listen any time.Originally posted by dorokusai

Are you digging the "new" 2.3's in your lineup?
They have just been sitting and I never even hooked them up after I bought them.
I wanted to help Ken get his repaired and running, so I sold him 4 of the SL3000's, kept two for the family. I am in no rush to listen to them.
OIC - they're headlining in the 2 CH section of your sig, so I thought they were on the front line.Originally posted by dorokusai

BTW - I still have some of your goodies here that I need to get back to you.
I know....we need to get together anyways. What are you doing Sunday? Drop me a line via email, firstname.lastname@example.com
Make the mad dash and throw in the dirty laundry without the wife being aware?
I look forwad to more of your impressions on the gear. You've been gathering some wonderful stuff.
SOB!!!!!! Congrats!
What the efficiency rating on those tall puppies?
Can't wait to hear more from you!
So I guess SET is next on your list?
The SET crowd is small but the OTL crowd is even smaller(but growing).
I can see where arguements can start. The SET will have a tx but the amplification process is much simpler (KISS). The OTL have more tubes, but have no tx. However, there are OTL's with a single tube.
It would be interesting to hear the difference.
Enjoy your new toys and keep us posted.

Thanks! I've always been a maverick, so I'll slide comfortably into the shadows of the OTL underground.
Unfortunately, the Abbys were delayed a day and won't be here until tomorrow at noon. They're rated at 94 db with the Fostex FE 166E. I'm "limping along" with the Klipsch (NOT!) behind the OTL - spectacular! If you get a chance to audition one of these "flea speck" amps, do so - better yet, build one (or two :D). The OTL design has been around for decades. I have the original Futterman circuit in an old tube audio book from the '50s. Rozenblit just (2004) received 10 individual US patents for his innovations with the concept. Now, I believe I know why.
Here is some info on it, a nice read.
We made a road trip two weekends ago to listen to the Abbys, and fell in love. We auditioned them with SS, push-pull, and SET amps and we were pleased with each session. My EE MiniMax CDP and preamp are so small that I just packed them up and took them with me. The dealer was delighted with the EE gear, he had never heard them before. Great guy! To tell you how great - he didn't have the Abby "normal" model in stock and, rather than have me wait for a factory build, he picked up the phone and called a dealer in Atlanta who did have them in stock. I'm getting them shipped to my door for $73. I was speechless. My next purchase of anything audio will be from him.
Hope everything's right in your world, and you're enjoying your new career!

Awesome! Now that's what I call a dealer!!!! If I can get a chance to demo a flea powered amp, I'll definitely do it.
Can your RF-3 still slam and sound dynamic at loud volumes using that amp? I've always wanted to try a SET using the famous 300B power tube but thought 8w might be low for my high spl preference. But I can't find anything wrong with my Dyna and I love the tube magic from that thing, so I'm going to stick with it.
Let us know how the new speakers sound when you get them. I can't wait to hear your impressions.
The new job is so so right now. I'm bombarded with reading materials (Product Knowledge). I feel like they're giving me too much stuff to know. I just want all this crap to be over and get the hang of things and start doing my stuff on the sales floor.

Hey Maurice, "too much" knowledge isn't a bad thing. Someday you'll need to answer an off the wall question from a customer and ZING out it will come without a second thought. I've never been involved in retail, and I think it takes some very special people skills and loads of patience. Who knows - one day it may lead you to start your own audio business? Maur Music has a nice ring to it, don't you think? ;)
The RF-3's still have the sonic signature I've enjoyed with the other amps when driven by the OTL - stunning HF, bass to die for, and amazing SPL from a fairly small box. If anything, the OTL brings the mids a bit more forward than with the EL34 based amp. A good thing IMO. That's the area where the SDA SRS beat them hands down.
The Abbys? Well, they are working out wonderfully with the OTL amp. I have not tried them with anything else here as yet, but did get a chance to listen to them driven by a wide array of amps when we auditioned them. They arrived in a wooden crate that looks strong enough to skid drop from a cargo plane. It looks like the wood coffins you always see the bad guys propped up in, in front of the barber shop, in western movies. Eight screws later, the lid was off the coffin and you could see that Cain & Cain take extreme care in their internal packing as well.
They ship with custom made, solid brass spikes that easily weigh in at over a pound a piece. Cardas binding posts and internal wiring are used. And, the manufacturer's logo is discreetly gold leafed near the bottom of the faces of the enclosures near the bass port. The fit, finish and materials used are high-end furniture grade. My daughter Samantha, who has shown no overt interest in any of the audio gear that's accumulated here of late (hey, she's thirteen and has many other things on her mind), went slack jawed when I cut the packing off the first one. That made me smile. The off-white cones of the Fostex drivers (made from banana skin fibers) are works of art in themselves, and blend nicely with the natural finish of the enclosures.
Since this is the first set of single driver speakers, I decided to cut them no slack in the initial listening session at home. I selected DSOTM as the first play. It has about every frequency in the audible range on it, often at the same moment in time. Sandy (my wife) recently bought me a copy of the remastered version, which I've been totally unimpressed with. I have the original issue on vinyl and, for that genre, it has probably enjoyed more RPMs on my turntable than any other. The CD version has always sounded congested to me, in a band from just under my nose to mid forehead in the soundstage, with eyes closed. So, here we go!
Speak to Me - The heartbeat throb back beat gradually draws you into the modern day passion play about to unfold regarding the fleeting nature of life, love and (for that matter) sanity. What immediately struck me about the Abbys was precision imaging of every facet of this subtle but hectic opening. Each of the preprise snippets blended together without any smearing.
On the Run - The Abbys totally draw you into the music. Roger Waters is in control, the journey has begun.
Breathe - Rock solid percussion and bass. Mason and Waters' efforts had, heretofore, begun my perception of congestion forming. No worries with bass, highs excellent - okay!
Money - One of the all-time best SDA effect cuts, little was lost in width of soundstage (Abbys versus SRSs.) Nick Mason's percussion, especially metal, blazed through all the synthisizer and tape looping like never before. The Abbys showed their speed here in spades.
Us and Them - The first few soft notes, breathed into the sax by Dick Parry, made my ears physically twitch. I had never heard the absolute human emotion in those notes like this. Background vocals are stunning, with each singer in their own voice throughout the blend.
Any Colour You Like - David Gilmour totally in his element as a guitarist. His call and return against the tape loop is masterful. The Abbys kept it all distinct from the synthisizer and bass lines.
Brain Damage - The backing vocals and harmonies are breathtakingly beautiful and urgent. The soaring cutaway passage by Barry St. John fires right through your ears and brain to your core. The last bit of maniacal laughter puts the lunatic in your head. Imaging, imaging, imaging.
Eclipse - The organ swells are not smeared against any other component as, literally, Pink Floyd's whole bag is opened up for you. The Abbys easily proved they are full range enclosures.
Strengths: Separation and imaging in the HF range. Balanced, lifelike bass. Speed and accuracy throughout their range. Depth of soundstage is natural sounding. Width projects 2-3 feet beyond the drivers.
Weaknesses: Mids are slightly less forward than one might be accustomed. Width of soundstage can't compare with SRSs - but, then, what can?
I think I'll keep them!

Atrovirens means black and green in Latin, referring to the coloring of kelp rockfish, which varies in hue from tan to kelp-colored, nearly white to mottled brown, green to black-brown, and even reddish. The red variety was described as a separate species early on. They have a distinct up-turned profile.
Distribution, Stock Structure and Migration
Kelp rockfish live in kelp beds and on rocky reefs, ranging from Timber Cove, northern California to Punta San Pablo, central Baja California. They are most abundant between central California and northern Baja. This species is known to occur at depths up to 190 ft but are most common between 15 and 80 ft, in association with giant kelp. Out of all the rockfish, this species is the most dependent on kelp. Juveniles are occasionally intertidal. Adults are solitary but have been known to form aggregations of 20-50 individuals around oil platforms in the Santa Barbara Channel. Kelp rockfish are residential species, making only rare seasonal migrations in response to storms and changes in kelp density. Within a season, individuals occupy a home range with a radius of about 10 feet.
Age and Growth
Kelp rockfish have been aged to a maximum of 25 years, but few reach the age of 20 years. Males and females grow at about the same rate or females only slightly faster. Both sexes reach similar maximum lengths. Based on a calculated age-length relationship, an 8-inch TL kelp rockfish is approximately 4-5 years old, a 10-inch fish is approximately 10 years old, and 12-inch fish are rare. The largest recorded length for this species is 16.8 inches.
Reproduction, Fecundity and Seasonality
Two central California studies yielded somewhat different estimates of size at maturity. One study shows some females are mature at 6 inches and 3 years, 50 percent are mature at about 7 inches and 3.5 years, and all are mature by 9 inches and 6 years. The other study found the smallest mature female was 8.7 inches and 5 years and the largest immature female was 12.8 inches and 7 years.
Off central California, spawning takes place between February and June, with peak spawning in May. Off southern California, spawning occurs between March and June. Females produce between 10,000 and 275,000 eggs. Females are viviparous and the planktonic larvae are 0.16 to 0.17 inches SL at release. Kelp rockfish settle out of the water column as large larvae, not as pelagic juveniles. The settle into the kelp canopy after 1 to 2 months. As juveniles, they first appear in the kelp beds between April and August. Recruitment to the nearshore area in central California generally occurs during June and July.
Predator/Prey Relationships
Juvenile and adult kelp rockfish are considered searchers with respect to their prey, although adults are also known to ambush their prey. Prominent prey items for adults and juveniles include crustaceans, such as shrimp and amphipods, and small fish, particularly juvenile blue rockfish. The juveniles are prey of birds, pinnipeds, porpoises, lingcod, cabezon, salmon, and other rockfish. Predators of adult kelp rockfish include sharks, dolphins, and seals.
Blue, gopher, black-and-yellow, and olive rockfishes commonly are found in the same habitat with kelp rockfish. The kelp rockfish is excluded from bottom areas of kelp beds by the territorial gopher and black-and-yellow rockfishes.
Critical Habitat
Kelp rockfish occur in rocky reef and artificial reef areas like oil platforms, but most commonly in kelp beds from the canopy to the bottom. They spend their days drifting motionless within kelp blades, sometimes upside down or resting on them. They are more active at night, leaving the kelp beds to search for prey.
Fishery and Status of Stocks
Kelp rockfish were rarely landed in commercial fisheries until the early 1990s with the rise of the nearshore live-fish fishery. Kelp rockfish are taken in small numbers by commercial hook-and-line and traps for this market. Currently, this species is commonly taken in sport fisheries, such as spear fishing. Their restricted habitat and limited movements make them highly exploitable. Therefore, local depressions probably occur in areas where diving, skiff fishing, or commercial fishing is concentrated. Local abundances have been studied for the kelp rockfish. However there has been no comprehensive stock assessment throughout their range.
Information on this page was originally presented in the Nearshore Fishery Management Plan (these profiles updated July, 2010).

If you have Xbox Live or a computer with high speed internet nearby I highly recommend checking out the complete Mass Effect X06 demo which will be making its appearance at a non specific time tomorrow on Bioware's website and Xbox Live. If you can't tell.... I'M REALLY EXCITED !!!
|#96 Subject: Your excited? Posted: 12/07/2006 21:05:32
really? well i couldnt tell...except it was a good hint when you said "I'M REALLY EXCITED!" but i still didnt get it
|#97 Subject: a bit of sarcasm Posted: 12/08/2006 15:12:18
I was saying "if you can't tell" because its hard to extrapolate emotions out of a forum post. Now that I think about it I should have said
|#98 Subject: lol Posted: 12/09/2006 11:50:51
i was being sarcastic too. and yes. this IS going to PWN!!!
|#99 Subject: the massive effect of mass effect Posted: 12/12/2006 17:38:38
i can't wait to roam around mass effect's universe exploring planetes upgrading the commander and using the awsome dialouge system. let me know what exites you guys the most.
|#100 Subject: looking good Posted: 12/14/2006 19:21:28
i am just now able to see the trailers and they look awsome. this game looks like kotor and i loved those games. i cant wait for this game to come out
|#101 Subject: Length of the game Posted: 12/16/2006 20:31:32
I just saw the new trailer on the gameplay and when they showed the map of the galaxy it looked massive.
So just wondering how long do you think Mass Effect will be?
|#102 Subject: My Hopes For Length Of Game Posted: 12/17/2006 12:43:01
I'm hoping at LEAST 20 hrs of game time. Bioware games always seem to be over that in their games, but it seems that every generation games get shorter and shorter. (Elders Scrolls game withstanding). Now if I have my choice I'm thinking between 30-40 hrs.
|#103 Subject: i would hope for... Posted: 12/17/2006 18:50:35
at least 50 hours. but i guess thats setting my dreams a little high huh?
|#104 Subject: Actually Posted: 12/21/2006 18:46:32
No, 50 hours sounds good to me. The game cannot be as large as it looks though. B/c with all the planets it makes Elder Scrolls look like Pong. My fear is that some of the planets will only have a single mission, then you have to move on to something else. But if there is one thing I have learned in my 25+ years of life, it's never to doubt Bioware.
|#105 Subject: Did these guys make Jade Empire? Posted: 12/25/2006 23:50:55
I think they did. And I bought it ages ago and only started getting into it now. I guess Bioware has a certain knack for making games with lots and lots of dialogue.
I showed the original downloadable demo on XBL to my roomates, 2 of whom have never touched a game other than Madden. They all loved it and wanted to watch it again. It really does seem like it's going to be the next must-have for the X360 but it's really kind of hard to tell at this point.
I'm just hoping it'll be a fun RPG. I'm not sure if I like everything about the combat (I hate the squadmate point and click idea) but otherwise, it just looks really big, really polished, and really NEW.
Here's hoping.
|#106 Subject: My only real concern.. Posted: 12/28/2006 15:31:58
The demo video was great, but I got the feeling that it was very narrow in scope for a reason.
I'm curious how the dialogue is going to play out, and whether they have created enough content to keep it feeling fairly dynamic throughout the experience.
Take Freelancer, for example. Initially it appeared the dialogue system might be revolutionary, until you realized how very few scripted sequences there were. It got very old after awhile, to the point of me not participating in that aspect of the game (talking to random NPCs).
I know the same thing will probably happen here, although hopefully to a lesser extent. I'm also curious what sort of mini-games we are going to get. KOTOR had some, but the game never did feel like it meshed properly with the engine.
|#107 Subject: Mass effect looks awesome Posted: 01/02/2007 22:22:00
It looks like KOTOR on graphics crack.
|#108 Subject: Excited but realistic... Posted: 01/06/2007 18:09:34
I know that Mass Effect isn't going to live up to my every expectation but I know Bioware will craft something so deep and unique that it will satisfy anyone's craving for rpg innovation. All the elements are there for a mind blowing space adventure that hopefully tops KOTOR.
|#109 Subject: IGN Mass Effect Interview Posted: 01/19/2007 22:32:12
IGN asks Casey Hudson (Project director) questions concerning details on Mass Effect's customization, combat, story, character interaction and more.
p.s. New pics included.
|#110 Subject: Bioware Posted: 01/20/2007 05:22:22
I am Bioware's little bi***, I cannot deny that. I wouldn't expect to see this badboy until August at the soonest. EB was saying April of 07, but there hasn't been enough marketing movement to suggest that. HOPEFULLY I AM WRONG.
Check out my newest blog for everything I hate about EA & Madden.

Check it out
|#114 Subject: hell yeah Posted: 01/28/2007 21:14:22
Very excited about this one, if they play the cards right this game has an amazing amount of potential.
|#115 Subject: Yay!! Posted: 02/06/2007 08:32:21
lol sorry im not good with titles. anyhoo does this so far so awesome losing my mind waiting for it to hit shelves game have a release date yet? i'm kinda wondering cause I kinda havent done any research on it or anything like that...so i have no clue...but im very excited about it if that counts for anything.......
|#116 Subject: New Race + New Pics Posted: 02/06/2007 16:01:45
Bioware has just added 5 new pictures ( one of them featuring the fish like Krogans ) to they're gallery in addition to the picture of the other new race, the Quarians.
|#117 Subject: What are the Quarians all about? Posted: 02/06/2007 18:28:24
I hope that you get to have a Quarian on your team, even though they are the outcasts of the universe for creating the Geth. I think the Quarians have the opportunity to be quite a unique race and could add a lot of depth to the story.
A few Q's:
I wonder what they look like underneath that visor?
Do they have to wear the suit all the time because they can only survive in certain atmospheres? Maybe they just like to disguise themselves.
Who the hell knows, I guess we'll all find out within a couple of months....hopefully!
|#118 Subject: Developer Blog : Reader Q & A Posted: 02/23/2007 17:21:58
|#119 Subject: What feature are you most looking forward to ? Posted: 02/24/2007 15:44:03
Personally I'm looking forward to the customization options ( creating my very own version of Shepard , checking out the weapon and armor mods , installing a turbo charger in the Mako etc. etc.).
|#120 Subject: probably... Posted: 02/24/2007 17:24:19
the cinematic feel that the game has. (i.e. conversations, graphics, storyline) and also, like you mentioned, the customization of the game. its basically a game that ive always dreamed of getting.

A host of the changes serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. The six-piston brakes up front are getting a lot of attention, which is part of the reason for the reshaped grille up front as well as lip spoilers above the brake duct inlets. The track has been increased front and rear, which will necessitate new wheel arches. Up top will be a carbon fiber roof to lower the center of gravity and down low will be ducts in the rear diffuser for better aerodynamics. When we finally do see it next year, the whole package will sit on two choices of 18-inch wheels: Standard or Competition.

Bridgestone Corp., the world's biggest tire maker that has Akron operations, on Monday forecast a 37 percent surge in profit this fiscal year as material costs decline, production increases and a weaker Japanese currency boosts the value of overseas sales.
Net income will probably jump to $2.5 billion this year from $1.83 billion in 2012, Bridgestone said in a statement. The forecast compares with the $2.19 billion average of 15 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
The tire maker also expects to increase output 9.6 percent this year to meet rising demand in emerging markets, it said. Bridgestone is also benefiting from a decline in materials costs.
"I expect the price of rubber to fall further because of an excess supply and the weaker yen will of course be an advantage," said Shiro Sakamaki, an analyst at Daiwa Securities Co. "Considering all these, I'd guess their earnings will grow even more this year."
Rubber will probably average between $3.30 and $3.50 a kilogram this year, Akihiro Eto, chief financial officer at Bridgestone, said in Tokyo at a briefing to discuss earnings. The material averaged about $3.38 last year, based on prices for so-called ribbed smoked sheet.
Bridgestone, which owns Firestone brands, gets about 80 percent of its revenue outside Japan, with about 45 percent of sales coming from the Americas as of the three months ended Sept. 30, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Passenger vehicle and light truck tire sales in North America were unchanged from 2011, the company reported. Sales of replacement tires in Europe "decreased substantially" from 2011 figures, Bridgestone said.
The company said while there are signs of a U.S. economic recovery, there are concerns of a serious recession in Europe and decelerating growth in emerging countries.
"The degree of uncertainty and risk in the global economy has increased beyond previous levels," the company said in a statement.
"We are watching the yen's moves carefully," Bridgestone's Chief Executive Officer Masaaki Tsuya said in Tokyo.
A 1 yen decline in the Japanese currency's value against the dollar adds about 3.9 billion yen ($41.52 million), and about 900 million yen ($9.58 million) versus the euro, to Bridgestone's operating profit, Eto said.
Bridgestone shares gained 2.8 percent to close at 2,555 yen ($27.20) in Tokyo before the earnings announcement. The shares have climbed 15 percent this year, compared with a 9.7 percent gain for the Nikkei 225 Stock Average.
Sales will probably surge 17 percent this year to $37.8 billion, or 3.55 trillion yen, according to a company statement.
Tsuya, 60, said he will double as chairman after Shoshi Arakawa, 68, leaves his post March 26 over health concerns.
The company said its goal is to be "Dan-Totsu," meaning the absolute or clear leader in all of its industries and far outperforming competitors.
Beacon Journal business writer Jim Mackinnon contributed to this report.

In 1958, long before he created and hosted Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, the most dynamic rock-and-roll series in television history, before he developed The Monkees and created The Archies, Don Kirshner was a 23-year-old kid with just a dream in his pocket. Five years later he was the prince of pop music. He did it by building Aldon Music, a song publishing firm, from scratch. This is about how he did it - with teenage discoveries Bobby Darin, Carole King, Neil Sedaka, and more. By 1960, at the ripe old age of 25, Kirshner had built the most powerful publishing house in the business, leading Time magazine to call him "the Man with the Golden Ear." In five short years he coaxed and guided his teenage prodigies to write more than 200 hits. And they weren't just hits, as it turned out, but standards - including "On Broadway," "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," "Up on the Roof", "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do," "I Love How You Love Me," "Who Put the Bomp," and "The Locomotion" - songs that have become the soundtrack of a generation. "We weren't trying to write standards," said one songwriter. "We were just trying to please Donnie."

Fort Lauderdale business-owners get most of their local licenses from Broward County. With licenses and permits on everything from auto mechanics to kosher foods, Broward County entrepreneurs are unlikely to get away with fewer than five licenses and permits. That's partly because the state provides a lot of central regulation too. Anyone setting up shop in Fort Lauderdale should be prepared for a fair amount of paperwork.
Fort Lauderdale has long been centered around the tourism industry and houses a wide variety of businesses related to it. Additionally, the city's popularity with retirees has led to a significant medical presence in the area. Fort Lauderdale also has a major boating industry and a robust financial sector.
