|Predators deal with Hurricanes, then tornadoes in Nashville
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 06 February 2008 03:31
A tornado warning was issued late in the third period of Nashville's 1-0 victory over Carolina on Tuesday night, forcing the 13,949 fans in the Sommet Center to stay inside the arena after the game.
``One of the referees came over with nine minutes to go and said we might have to evacuate because of the weather,'' Predators coach Barry Trotz said. ``At that time, it was still 0-0 and some of the guys on the bench thought maybe each team would be given a point and we would go right to the shootout.''
After the final buzzer, the fans were evacuated from the main seating area and allowed to leave the arena shortly after. Fans and players could hear the thunder and the warning sirens.
Trotz said he had never had a game called for the weather.
``I had one called because of a rodeo having been held in an arena,'' he said. ``When the ice started getting cut up, the dirt started coming through.''
espite having never faced Carolina in a regular-season game, Mason stopped all 31 shots he faced to preserve the victory. It was his fourth shutout of the season.
``I was seeing the puck well and the guys were letting me see it,'' Mason said. ``We contained rebounds and eliminated second chances. I need to start playing like this every night. I need to give the team a chance to win.''
In other NHL games, it was: Anaheim 3, the New York Islanders 0; Florida 8, Toronto 0; Buffalo 4, Boston 2; Washington 4, Columbus 3 in overtime; Philadelphia 3, Atlanta 2; Los Angeles 4, the New York Rangers 2; Montreal 4, Ottawa 3; Detroit 3, Minnesota 2 in overtime; Tampa Bay 5, St. Louis 4; Dallas 3, Vancouver 2 in a shootout; and Calgary 4, Phoenix 3, also in a shootout.
In stormy Nashville, J.P. Dumont scored for the Predators, who have won four straight.
With the game scoreless in the third period, Dumont skated in on the left side of the slot. Jason Arnott made a backhanded pass sending the puck across the crease from the right circle. Dumont beat Cam Ward with a one-timer that went to his stick side and bounced off of the left post at 11:59.
Ducks 3, Islanders 0
At Uniondale, N.Y., Teemu Selanne gave Anaheim's slumping offense a jolt in his first game this season.
last spring. He helped set up Scott Niedermayer's power-play goal in the second period for the Ducks, who had lost six straight.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere stopped 25 shots for his third shutout of the season.
Panthers 8, Maple Leafs 0
At Toronto, Richard Zednik scored three goals and Tomas Vokoun stopped 23 shots for Florida.
Nathan Horton, Olli Jokinen, Cory Murphy, Steve Montador and Brett McLean also scored for Florida, which has won three straight.
It was the largest loss of the season for the Maple Leafs.
Sabres 4, Bruins 2
Daniel Paille scored twice, and Ryan Miller stopped 30 shots to lead visiting Buffalo.
Thomas Vanek broke a second-period tie for the Sabres, who are four points behind the eighth-place Bruins for the last playoff spot in the East.
Capitals 4, Blue Jackets 3, OT
Alexander Ovechkin added to his NHL-leading goal total by scoring twice, including the winner - his 45th - 2:28 in overtime for visiting Washington.
Rick Nash scored twice for the Blue Jackets, on a season-worst four-game losing skid since the All-Star break.
Flyers 3, Thrashers 2
Antero Nittymaki stopped 23 shots to stay perfect in eight decisions against Atlanta and Steve Downie scored with 4:29 left in the third period to give Philadelphia a road victory.
The Flyers have won nine straight against Atlanta.
Kings 4, Rangers 2
v and Anze Kopitar each had a goal and an assist to lead visiting Los Angeles.
Scott Thornton and Brian Boyle also scored for Los Angeles, and Jason LaBarbera made 23 of his 39 saves in the second period.

Alex Kovalev had three assists as Montreal's top line combined for nine points and the Canadiens ended a six-game losing streak against Ottawa.
Chris Kelly, Jason Spezza and Antoine Vermette scored for Ottawa, which has lost three in a row.
Red Wings 3, Wild 2, OT
Dan Cleary tied the game with 1:20 to play in regulation and Brett Lebda scored 1:37 into overtime to lift visiting Detroit to its eighth straight victory.
Brian Rolston tied a team record with a goal in his sixth straight game and Pavol Demitra also scored for the Wild, who led the best team in the NHL 2-1 with 80 seconds to play.
Lightning 5, Blues 4
Jason Ward scored his first goal in six weeks to help Tampa Bay to its fifth consecutive road victory.
Paul Ranger scored two goals for the Lightning, who won in St. Louis for the first time since Oct. 13, 1992, their first visit in their first season.
Stars 3, Canucks 2, SO
At Dallas, Brenden Morrow scored in the sixth round of the shootout as the Stars extended their winning streak to four games.
Morrow added a goal and an assist in regulation, and Jere Lehtinen added a power-play goal for Dallas.

Texas Beef Council hosts Farm to Fork tour
The Texas Beef Council recently hosted the "Farm to Fork: Celebrate, Preserve, Strengthen" tour where more than 20 nutrition and health thought leaders had the unique opportunity to take a behind the scenes look into cattle ranching and beef production practices in Texas. The guided tour allowed for time to interact with ranching families and other agriculture experts to answer pressing beef production questions. The group also heard top-notch research presentations on protein, performance and cognition from internationally recognized nutrition scientists. The tour further emphasized the industry's commitment to educating influential audiences who, in turn, communicate about modern beef production to their patients, readers, shoppers and clients.

Show day: Tacoma - Dome
This is a very weird building. At least it's a very weird building to put a rock show into, as its too big to be an arena, but too small to be a stadium. The seating layout is strange as there are vast empty areas either side of the stage, which makes it all a bit agoraphobic after the comparative intimacy of regular arenas. Nothing looks quite right and acoustically too it is famously awful, right up there with the Tokyo Dome, so we knew today we'd have our work cut out for us.
In truth, it was a lot of work, but it was worth it in the end as we felt we came away having produced a great result against all odds - particularly sonically, as it wound up sounding great which was something of a triumph in itself. Then again the audience was so up for it that they pretty much carried us through any potential lumpy bits.
One unexpected bonus for me was that the ceiling is vast, smooth & white (rather domelike, in fact) so I was able to take advantage of this as a projection surface. The 'PiGi' projectors which usually cast their textures and images onto the audience took full advantage of their new play space, which gave us a one-night IMAX vibe.
After the show we headed back to the hotel in Seattle and for tobacco related reasons ended up having a party in the corridor of the second floor. It started with just one or two renegade smokers slipping away from the group, then a few more folks went along just to hang out and before the night was over everybody was sitting on the floor up and down the corridor - drinks trolleys and mini bars being wheeled out of rooms, cushions and blankets being fetched.
Such is the giddy world of rock & roll. Seattle, one of the most happening night life cities in the world - U2 come to town and have a party in a hotel corridor...

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- There's more bad news for the Lee County's medical helicopter service.
After Lee County grounded it's Medstar choppers earlier this year, Aeromed moved a chopper to Page Field to service this area. Aeromed is moving its base to Charlotte County, starting January 1, 2013. Lee county is working with Aeromed and its partners to get another air ambulance to station a chopper at Page Field in Ft. Myers, starting Jan. 1. That helicopter would provide service to Lee Co. until commissioners can contract with a private company to move to Lee permanently. That could occur sometime in the winter of 2013.
After about a year and a half of discussions with Charlotte County EMS workers and Tampa General Hospital, the operator of Aeromed, leaders determined that the chopper would better serve the region based from the Charlotte airport in Punta Gorda.
Charlotte County Emergency Medical Services Chief Dennis Didio says the move will help with response time, and should make Charlotte citizens feel better about the chances of their loved ones to survive a medical or other emergency. He says the Aeromed helicopter will continue to serve Lee County and other parts of SW Florida on a mutual aid basis, if it's needed.

Watch out, Google: This Italian datacentre wants to snatch your efficiency crown (gallery)
Summary: Italian oil company ENI has just opened a new datacentre that's aiming to beat Google's PUE record. ZDNet went to take a look.

The second and most important pillar is the flues, along with the free cooling system that uses them.
The air gets in from the lower side of each structure (grey in the picture), is pushed through filters by a system of fans, cools the servers, and is then expelled through the upper part of the flues (also grey). "This direct free-cooling technique means the air conditioners are switched on less than 25 percent of the time," Mazzarelli said.
Thanks to the fact the flues are located upon a hill, the air's entrance point is 20m above the ground, where levels of particulate matter are lower.
Image: Raffaele Mastrolonardo/ZDNet
ENI calculates that the filtering process (in the picture) removes about 3,000kg of dust per year thus returning a cleaner air to the external environment. "Everything in our project was designed to achieve maximum efficiency," Mazzarelli said. "That means it was not driven by architects but by plant engineers."
Image: Raffaele Mastrolonardo/ZDNet
An array of fans pulls in the air and pushes it towards the filters. These fans are able to move large quantities of air but at an extremely slow speed (1m to 1.5m per second), which contributes to the efficiency of the whole cooling system.
"We could not forget any detail. The two biggest server rooms are 1,000 m2 each and need 10MW of power that becomes heat. In order to cool them we had to build the flues in a certain way — the right way," Mazzarelli said.

The idea for Orana Wildlife Park began when a New Brighton resident, Neville Jemmett, suggested to the Christchurch City Council that a zoo should be built on the recently completed land-fill dump at Bexley. Naturally enough, the concept of having a new zoo in Christchurch was widely reported by the news media and soon caught the imagination of the public. The South Island Zoological Society was formed in July 1970, and in a matter of weeks, had grown from the original eight founding members to over one hundred. A number of public meetings were held to debate the concept behind a modern zoological park, as well as to consider the funding and ongoing support the new project would require. It was soon established that the new venture would be an open range wildlife park with the design reflecting a feeling of the animal's natural habitat.
The site at Bexley proved totally unsuited for the construction of such a wildlife park, but it wasn't long before a new site was proposed on McLeans Island, on land to be leased from the North Canterbury Catchment Board.
This was an excellent site for the new wildlife park, being located adjacent to the recently created recreational area and on the end of a tar sealed road, just 18 kilometres from Christchurch. It was light river bed land, with only poor soil and very few trees but the land was easy to work and would be particularly suited for excavation of moats and earth banks which would be used for the construction of a completely new zoo concept.
And Then The Work Began
The first few months were well occupied in designing the new zoo concept and frequent on site planning meetings were held. Of the 80 hectares leased from the North Canterbury Catchment Board, only 16 hactares were to comprise the first stage of the new zoo site. The McLeans area had been planted in pine forest and much of the land we occupied had recently been clear felled, leaving a landscape littered with stumps and debris. There were a few mature pines here and there, that had escaped the loggers saw, but the only other vegetation remaining above the sun baked river bed, were the occasional clumps of impenetrable gorse.
The first working bees were equipped only with picks and shovels in their efforts to clear the site, it was hard, back breaking work for a little band of volunteers who turned up week after week to clear away and burn the debris. As time passed and the results of fund-raising activities began to grow, the second equipment was purchased.
At first, a David Brown tractor and trailer and later, a very old, but still workable D4 bulldozer. With the arrival of this equipment, the working bees became more successful and the site preparation advanced as the landscape began to take hold and the area was planted in trees and shrubs. The boundary fence was erected during 1974, and by mid-1975, work had began on a number of projects, including a toilet block and a service workshop.
THE GRAND OPENING ~ SEPTEMBER 25th 1976
We successfully negotiated the purchase of our first animals during early 1976, and this gave renewed momentum, along with a sense of urgency to prepare the park ready for opening the following spring. By mid August, the animal holding facilities were complete and the arrivals from Australia of our modern day "Noah's Arc". On September 10, saw our dream become reality.
When we opened the gates to the public at 10.00am on the 25th September 1976, we had the modest collection of 12 adult lions, 6 lion cubs, 2 tiger cubs, 2 donkeys, 2 camels, 2 water buffalo and 2 Shetland ponies.
Our main trump card was the first drive through lion reserve in New Zealand, and it was this 4 hectare open range display that attracted so many thousands of visitors on that first day. So successful was our opening, that by 2pm on Sunday we had a queue of cars stretching back over 7 kilometres with the last cars coming through the park in the dark with their headlights on to see the animals.
Following that first very successful year, Orana Wildlife Park began to grow and a number of interesting new animal exhibits were added. These included the construction of a wolf wood and the arrival of six North American Timber Wolves from the Auckland Zoo and then development of a farm yard area, where young and friendly animals could be patted and handled by the children. A small food kiosk was built, and work began on the construction of a quarantine facility.
Orana Wildlife Park continued to attract good public support during 1978 and early development included a wallaby walk through enclosure and a display for Australian parakeets. The most significant event for the year, was the importation from the San Francisco zoo of a group of South American Spider monkeys. These were the first monkeys to arrive at Orana Wildlife Park and were displayed on a special island exhibit, established in the newly constructed lake, which was to become the centre piece of the park.
The arrival of two pairs of the very rare Scimitar Horned oryx from Marwell Zoo in England saw a turning point for Orana Wildlife Park as we slowly began to build up a valuable collection of rare and endangered species. Major construction undertaken during 1979 included a new antelope house and yard system and an expansion to our kiosk facilities to include a souvenir shop.
The realignment of the Orana Wildlife Park's entrance allowed for a large consignment of Australian animals to arrive early in the year, among them were 3 pairs of red kangaroos, and 4 pairs of grey kangaroos from Taronga Zoo in Sydney. Construction of the South Island's first kiwi rehabilitation centre at Orana Wildlife Park saw our first kiwi arrive, an injured Stewart Island brown kiwi.
The highlight of 1980 was the arrival of two female zebras from England, and a male on breeding load from the Wellington Zoo.
The opening of the first phase of our African Plains area in 1981 saw Orana Wildlife Park enter a new dimension of animal display techniques and for the first time, we were truly able to use large, open range areas for our grazing animals. Through careful landscaping and the use of water moats, visitors were able to see many African savannah species in near natural habitat, while at the same time, enjoy a picnic or barbecue.
The arrival of Orana Wildlife Park's first giraffe undoubtedly was the highlight of 1982. After almost 18 months of fund raising and negotiation, we saw Jaffa and Celeste arrive in a Jumbo Jet from Canada, while still only babies. They were an instant success, with many thousands visiting them in the first few weeks.
Orana Wildlife Park had reached the stage by 1983, where almost 80% of its animal species were breeding on a regular basis. Our first two zebras were born on the African Plains and by the end of the year, our Scimitar Horned oryx group had produced their 10th calf.
A pair of Llamas arrived from Auckland Zoo, together with 2 female Nilgai to join our lonely male and form the basis of a joint breeding group of this species.
The construction of the South Island's first Nocturnal Kiwi House dominated the year and its construction and associated fund raising saw great support for Orana Wildlife Park from the community.
The Kiwi house was opened by the Minister of Tourism, the Hon. Mike Moore late in 1984 and soon became a focal point for international tourists visiting our region.
Orana Wildlife Park's animal collection continued to prosper during 1985 to the extent we were able to send many of our surplus animal's to overseas zoos.
Construction within the zoo was centred around the development of a New Zealand native fauna and flora display in the central area of the Park and the establishment of an outdoor eating patio and cobblestone area adjacent to the main kiosk.
With the arrival of the white rhino in April of 1986, Orana Wildlife Park is entered a new phase in conservation of endangered species. Orana Park was now involved with all of the other major zoos in the region in helping to preserve many of our endangered mammals and birds and it is with joint venture projects such as "Operation Rhino" in conjunction with the Wellington Zoo, that gives many of these species a chance for the future.
More to come …………….. the next 10 years.

* The Los Angeles Review of Books explains the Church of Scientology.
Wright proposes that the central document to understanding Hubbard's psyche is his so-called "secret memoir," composed around 1947, otherwise referred to as Hubbard's "Affirmations" or "Admissions." The document itself has an interesting history: it was found by a former archivist for the Church of Scientology, Gerald Armstrong, who had been tasked with organizing the founder's personal papers. The more Armstrong read, the less he believed. Convinced that Hubbard was a huckster, Armstrong copied the documents that he discovered in the archives and delivered them to his lawyer. He was thereafter sued by the Church of Scientology. During the trial, Armstrong tried to get on record portions of Hubbard's "Affirmations," under the vehement protests of the Church's lawyers. Since then, the document has leaked to the internet. Among Hubbard's Affirmations:
"I can write."
"My mind is still brilliant."
"That masturbation was no sin or crime."
"That I do not need to have ulcers any more."
"That I believe in my gods and spiritual things."
"That my magical work is powerful and effective."
"That the numbers 7, 25, and 16 are not unlucky or evil for me."
"That I am not bad to look upon."
"That I am not susceptible to colds."
"That these words and commands are like fire and will sear themselves into every corner of my being, making me happy and well and confident forever!"
Hubbard emerges, in Wright's account, as a pitiable figure, driven by relentless ambition yet also stalked by an enduring fear of irrelevance. Flawed, prone to tyranny and abusive behavior, he sought to conquer his insecurities by achieving an outsized grandeur. "If one looks behind the Affirmations to the conditions they are meant to correct," Wright concludes, "one sees a man who is ashamed of his tendency to fabricate personal stories, who is conflicted about his sexual needs, and who worries about his mortality. He has a predatory view of women but at the same time fears their power to humiliate him."

Like the hypothetical minimum-wage high schooler whose income serves as pocket money, non-essential and destined for "fun," the youthful volunteer, who may very well intrinsically enjoy the work, authorizes a category of labor exploitation that is not only okay but also okay to take as the norm for the labor of cultural preservation. "I can get you a twenty-year-old!" is, in that sense, not a labor solution but its opposite: a commitment to the norm that this work will be unpaid.

The Five-Year Ph.D. as Improved Plumbing, Redux
In this respect, the restructuring of the Graduate Center follows a rather banal and callous neoliberal trend across higher education today: the gutting of social sciences and humanities; assembly-line style speed-up in PhD production time; and the loss of spaces for long-term, dedicated, and quality research and writing. Title refers to this. Via @claudiakincaid.

The Five-Year Ph.D. as Improved Plumbing
Marc Bousquet, How the University Works:
From the perspective of casualization, the possibility of a toxic buildup of degree holders is not, as commonly maintained by job-market theorists, the result of "too many" graduate students. On the contrary, it is precisely the nature of permatemping to arrange that there are always "just enough" graduate students and other nondegreed flex workers to be delivered "just in time" to serve the university's labor needs. It is in the interest and logic of the system to have as many graduate students as it can employ while producing the fewest number of degrees—or, better yet, to produce persons with degrees who don't make a claim for permanent academic employment. This is one reason that graduate school administrations have recently promoted the Marie Antoinette or "let them eat cake" theory of graduate education: "Why, if they cannot find teaching work, let them be screenwriters!" This is a kind of excrement theory for managers, through which the degree holder figures as a horrible stain or blot, an embarrassment that the system is hysterically trying to scrape from its shoes. By institutionalizing the practice of preparing degree holders for "alternate careers," the system's managers are creating a radiator or waste pipe to flush away persons whose teaching services are no longer required precisely because they now hold the degree.
The five-year Ph.D. works exactly the same way – flush out the used-up instructors faster and cleaner. It's better plumbing. We know this is true (alas) because these proposals don't ever talk about admitting fewer students to Stanford. The result of reducing time-to-degree while keeping admitting the same number each year will be be more graduate students passing through Stanford, not fewer — but the ones that do pass through will disappear more easily, making fewer demands on the institution materially and affectively as they go. Despite its claimed goals, most of which are perfectly laudable in the abstract, this is the unhappy purpose to which the five-year-degree proposal actually directs itself: not the production of fewer Ph.D.s, but a mechanism to get rid of the "used-up" Ph.D. better than we do now.
The five-year Ph.D. with alternative job training is therefore not, as Claire Potter has it, "an accounting reform posing as educational reform"; it's an efficiency measure designed to better manage the cheap labor on which the contemporary university demands and better dispose of the people whose time in the system is up. Bousquet again:
Nearly all of the administrative responses to the degree holder can already be understood as responses to waste: flush it, ship it to the provinces, recycle it through another industry, keep it away from the fresh meat. Unorganized graduate employees and contingent faculty have a tendency to grasp their circumstance incompletely—that is, they feel "treated like shit"—without grasping the systemic reality that they are waste. Insofar as graduate employees feel treated like waste, they can maintain the fantasy that they really exist elsewhere, in some place other than the overwhelmingly excremental testimony of their experience. This fantasy becomes an alibi for inaction, because in this construction agency lies elsewhere, with the administrative touch on the flush-chain. The effect of people who feel treated like waste is an appeal to some other agent: please stop treating us this way—which is to say to that outside agent, "please recognize that we are not waste," even when that benevolent recognition is contrary to the testimony of our understanding. (And, of course, it is only good management to tell the exploited and superexploited, "Yes, I recognize your dignity. You are special.")
By contrast, the organized graduate employee and contingent faculty share the grasp of the totality of the system that proceeds from the understanding that they are indeed the waste of that system. They know they are not merely treated like waste but, in fact, are the actual shit of the system—being churned inexorably toward the outside: not merely "disposable" labor (Walzer) but labor that must be disposed of for the system to work. These are persons who can perform acts of blockage. Without expelling the degree holder, the system could not be what it is. Imagine what would happen to "graduate programs preparing future faculty" if they were held responsible for degree-granting by a requirement to continue the employment of every person to whom they granted a Ph.D. but who was unable to find academic employment elsewhere. In many locations, the pipeline would jam in the first year!

"For decades the military has been using video-game technology," says Nina Huntemann, associate professor of communication and journalism at Suffolk University in Boston and a computer games specialist. "Every branch of the US armed forces and many, many police departments are using retooled video games to train their personnel."
Like much of early computing, nascent digital gaming benefited from military spending. The prototype for the first home video games console, the 1972 Magnavox Odyssey, was developed by Sanders Associates, a US defence contractor. Meanwhile, pre-digital electronic flight simulators, for use in both military and civilian training, date back to at least the second world war.
Later, the games industry began to repay its debts. Many insiders note how instruments in British Challenger 2 tanks, introduced in 1994, look uncannily like the PlayStation's controllers, one of the most popular consoles of that year. Indeed, warfare's use of digital war games soared towards the end of the 20th century.
"By the late 1990s," says Nick Turse, an American journalist, historian and author of The Complex: How the Military Invades Our Everyday Lives, "the [US] army was pouring tens of millions of dollars into a centre at the University of Southern California – the Institute of Creative Technologies – specifically to build partnerships with the gaming industry and Hollywood."

If you can, light a candle, write down your desires (writing is a very good tool to help you decipher what you truly desire) take some deep breaths (really deep breaths through your tummy) then say a prayer asking God and the angels to help you manifest what you desire. Be sure to show your gratitude for what you already have by thanking them. It would be extra powerful if you could do this outside. The New Moon really feels like it is all about getting clear on your hearts desires but also recognizing and showing gratitude for what you already have. If you truly are unable to state your desires…just don't have any direction…then pray for guidance, clear signs to show you what is for your highest good.

LOL, I know right but I bet some suckers see those quote unquote MSRP and think wow I'm getting a great deal.
LOL, I know right but I bet some suckers see those quote unquote MSRP and think wow I'm getting a great deal.
+2 for headamp. justin is a great guy to deal with. got my he-400 and he-500 through him.
It works in malls and clothing stores, right? People need to do more research... anyway, another +1 here for Justin and Headamp! That's where I'll be getting my next pair of headphones when the time comes.
I've read your comments - and in short I get it.
Even as a staunch supporter of "non-audiophile" electronics (like good laptops), I have no question that maximum performance of the HE-400 is somewhat source dependent/recording/amp dependent. There are still people that hype too much <cough earpads and 10 watt amps>, but the HE-400 definitely have scaled for me. They do need a little more power than the typical headphone (not much more), and a great source to sound their best.
As for soundstaging arguments, I am listening to that with interest. For me, the headphone 'sound' has in general been a little too L/Channel R/Channel sounding lately. It is occasionally preventing me from getting lost in my tunes, but this is more a headphone problem than an HE-400 problem.
Do you use crossfeed? That helps a lot for me. In terms of a realistic soundstage from headphones, the HD598 has the best so far for me. The Audio Technicas are the most dramatic, but not necessarily realistic. The HE-400 is... Adequate as I've said before. But also tends to remind me more of a closed headphone than an open one.
La la la... I can't hear you...
I'm using the velours with some of the jergpad mods... namely, I have them back vented/angled, taped for coupling and trimmed so the ring holes are fully open.
Just so you know, I tried to convert a pair of my velour pads via the same procedures too, and it sounded nasty (to me).
Namely, it sounded way too thin and bright, probably because it was over-damped.
We're probably hearing similar but with different conclusions/preferences. Remember my preference is a signature much more like the AD700 but with a little "oomph" as well. So I'd like my HE-400 a little more "open and airy" than I have them now. One man's ceiling is another man's floor...
Just looked at your regrilling mod. May have to go for that "naked" version now that I'm falling in love with the HE-400 so get even more of that sound that I think you call nasty. ;)
Nice shots! I'd be a little wary of the cable being strained in that first shot though..
Just wanted to let you know, we've been listening to you have now added an additional control to decide the amount of amplitude you'd like to see.
It only works for frequency response right now but we're working on rolling the concept out to other specs. Would love your feedback or any other suggestions for improvement.
For actual headphone measurements, we usually only measure those we carry and even then, we sometimes draw the line with the cheap stuff.
As for updates to the tool, we don't have any established time frame but recently have had the opportunity to make a few improvements and so we did.

FORT WAYNE – Matt Painter likened the NBA draft to awaiting word for the NCAA tournament.
No matter who you are, if you're on the fence, it's very similar to the NCAA team that's on the fence. You have to be careful what you say because you don't control your own destiny, Purdue's men's basketball coach said during a teleconference Monday.
You go and work out, you go and test and do the best you can, but still somebody has to draft you.
Painter's top player from last season, Robbie Hummel, is one of the draft hopefuls. Duke's Miles Plumlee, who is from Warsaw, is another. The NBA draft is tonight.
If you asked (Hummel) a couple of months ago how he'd like it to play out, this is exactly how he'd like it to turn out, Painter said.
From a physical standpoint to the workouts, he's really performed at a high level and has done a good job.
North Carolina's Tyler Zeller and Kentucky's Marquis Teague are two players with state ties expected to go in the first round.
Painter said the feedback he's received has Hummel going somewhere in the second round.
But with that being said, there's no guarantees. And there's no guarantees that's the best thing for him, either, Painter said.
There are some guys out there, (Kendallville's) Brad Miller is a great example, where he didn't get drafted and he was able to pick the right organization to start with. And then really springboard to an unbelievable career for him. You never know.
The 6-foot-8, 215-pound Hummel bounced back from two ACL injuries to average 16.4 points and 7.2 rebounds as a senior.
He showed at the end of the year that he was improving, Painter said. He was getting better, and he was more comfortable. He made another step here with his workouts. He looks a lot better.
Painter said Hummel's track record as a winner is a huge benefit.
His team always wins. He's a skill guy. He understands the game. He defers to others, makes the extra pass. He's going to be glued in on the scouting report. He'll do whatever an organization needs for him to help them be successful like he's done at every level, Painter said.
He has too many intangibles. If I was drafting, I think he has a place on every team. Guys like that always have a place on a team. Whether he starts or is in the rotation or rarely plays, he's going to be good for the organization.
Painter is excited to see what's ahead for Hummel.
Guys are taking him for his skill level and his basketball IQ and his versatility. I think guys like that stay in that league for a long time, Painter said. No matter what happens (tonight), he's going to continue to make a stab at it. He's going to continue to put himself in a position to be successful and play at that level.

Thermostat wiring
I am new so pls understand. I am replacing an old Arcoaire thermostat for a heating and cooling heat pump. The existing wire reads like this:
W1 jumpered to E
The new digital thermostat has all the wiring letters (colors) but W1
I call the trouble desk for the company and they suggested to contact an electrical contractor. I am on a budget, where does W1 go? and is it stll jumpered to E.
Tks Sherio
But the white wire on the W1 terminal.
Need make & model of the thermostat, heat pump, air handler. Also, if you can post a pic of the circuit board were the wiring connects (please no super close up), that helps, if you cannot figure out the directions of the thermostat & air handler.

November 26, 2014
Jan. 29, 2014
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The Virginia Employment Commission says the state's jobless rate fell to 5.2 percent in December.
The state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate is down from 5.4 percent in November and down from 5.6 percent a year ago.
Virginia's unemployment rate has been trending down since joblessness peaked at 7.4 percent from December 2009 until March 2010.
Officials say the labor force expanded in December as more people reported working and the number of unemployed fell.
The Labor Department says the national unemployment rate fell to 6.7 percent in December, the lowest in more than five years. Rates fell in four-fifths of U.S. and rose in just two.

path of Baker, who guided a clinical finish into the corner of the net.
Michael Keane headed over the bar as Warren Joyce's youngsters tried to rally with Amos going up for a corner that ended in Weir having a snap-shot saved by Blackman. Substitute Tyler Blackett had one final attempt that forced a great save out of Blackman deep into stoppage time. However, there was no way past a well-organised defence as United relinquished the trophy, but not without a splendid effort all season.
United: Amos; Varela, McNair, M.Keane, James (Blackett 82); Janko, Ekangamene, Pearson, Lawrence (Harrop 86), A.Pereira; Wilson (Weir 68). Subs not used: J.Pereira, Willock.

Barclays will announce its full year results on 12 February 2013, which will contain the following additional provisions relating to IRHP and PPI:
Following the outcome of its pilot review of IRHP sold to small and medium-sized enterprises, and the Financial Services Authority's report on this review and those conducted by a number of other banks, Barclays has increased its provision for IRHP redress by £400m at Q4 2012. This brings the cumulative provision to £850m, of which £36m had been utilised as at 31 December 2012. The main review and redress exercise will commence shortly and the appropriate provision level will be kept under ongoing review as it progresses.
Barclays has determined that it is appropriate to provide a further £600m for PPI redress, principally as a result of a higher than anticipated response rate to pro-active mailings in Q4. This brings the cumulative provision to £2.6bn, of which £1.6bn had been utilised as at 31 December 2012. Based on claims experience to date and anticipated future volumes, the provision represents Barclays best estimate of expected future PPI redress payments and claims management costs. Barclays will continue to monitor actual claims volumes and the assumptions underlying the calculation of the PPI provision.
More detailed information on these provisions will be provided in the full year 2012 results announcement.
The full year results briefing webcast on 12 February 2013 will be available at www.barclays.com/investorrelations and a live conference call facility can be accessed by dialling (0)845-401-0013 (UK) or +44 (0)203-059-8117 (all other locations) and quoting 'Barclays'.

The Octopus Project will put out a new record in 2013 on Peek-A-Boo Records.
Austin indie rock quartet the Octopus Project has a new EP out this week and today they let loose with the video for the energetic single "Whitby." It's really something — posting a screenshot up top will not do it justice — as it contains over 4,000 still images constructed by the band that come together to form a hypnotizing stop-motion video. It would take a series of GIFs to convey! Or you could just like, watch it. -- StereoGumCreated, shot and directed by the band, the stop-motion extravaganza was crafted entirely using die-cut colored card stock. Band members meticulously designed each shape in Photoshop then used a cutting machine generally reserved for scrapbooking to cut them out before photographing them in real world settings. The final video consists of over 4,000 separate images.

Thursday temperature throwback
One week ago we were in the midst of another nor'easter. Cloudy, cold, breezy, as temperatures barely reached 50°. Well today (Thursday) we will again "throwback" to breezy, cold temperatures, but this time, with sunshine!
Yesterday's high reached 80° today we will struggle to reach 60°, grab the sunglasses and a sweater/jacket/pullover and head on out into the chill. The bigger story? A major late winter storm roared through the Mid-Atlantic and New England states with non-thunderstorm winds that exceeded 65mph! That same storm dumped more than two feet of snow across most of the major ski resorts there as well.
Tonight, winds settle, skies remain clear and a frosty start awaits for some of us early Friday morning. More later...

Great way to get into e-cigs
by Robert
I ordered this starter kit so that I could transition into the world of e-cigs and see if I would enjoy them more than the disposable ones that are often sold elsewhere. Man was I impressed with what I purchased. The kit has held up strong going on two weeks with me using it constantly. It's small and easy to use, so most of the people at my office think I am just smoking a weird looking cigar when we are on our breaks. I would rate this 5 out of 5 but there is always room for improvement. Thanks Halo for a great product.

Great starter kit
by Ksmoke
This stater kit is a great buy for either the beginner or veteran to vaping. I choose the jet black kit but there are a multitude of colors to choose from. The best part of the starter kit is that it includes 2 batteries of your choice as compared to other kits that only include one. The battery options (manual/automatic) is also a plus. I choose 2 78mm manual batteries and have not been disappointed. On a full charge I can generally have a battery last most of the day. The charging kit is great because it utilizes a USB port. This makes it really easy to charge on the go if you have a USB plug car charger. Another bonus included in the kit is the carrying case which is constructed very well. The case makes traveling very convenient and organized. The starter kit also includes a pack of cartomizers. This was good to give them an initial try, I quickly changed to the min tanks purely for my own preference. Overall this is a perfect kit for anyone and I would highly recommend this product.

great choice
by kevin
I love the G6, it's a great way to vape. You can use it in restaurants, stores, pretty much anywhere. I only have 2 problems. The battery life is a little short and a couple times I got stuck out somewhere with 2 uncharged battery's. But then I found out about the portable battery charger so I'll be sure to pick one of them up. The other problem being one of my battery's just stopped working. It shows that its fully charged but just wont work. so i emailed the company and i am awaiting an answer hopefully they can help me out with that. But over all this is a great solution. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to vape something that tastes and smells great.

Everything it's supposed to be
by Jacob
I bought the G6 starter kit after trying a few disposables from the convenience store. I liked the concept of the e-cig and knew there had to be a better quality product out there. I read some reviews and found Halo, and liked that all their liquids are made in the USA. I put my money on the line and waited anxiously for the kit to arrive. After charging my battery I screwed on a Tribeca tip and hoped it would be all I was hoping for. What a relief it was when a smooth warm vapor with some caramel undertones hit my taste buds. The unit feels good and looks good. I knew there had to be something better than all the cheap looking disposables that left me feeling a little disappointed. The mini tanks make the G6 taste and hit even better. Thoroughly satisfied with my first real e-cig and I look forward to trying some more flavors from Halo. I did get one chipped mini tank, but based on what I've read, Halo has good support and no doubt this will be easy to resolve when I place my next order for some more tanks and flavors. Good stuff!

Awesome product!
by Pete
Hey folks, I just received my G6 and it is a beautiful piece of hardware. The presentation is beautiful too. You can tell it is quality, the engineering meticulous. The case it comes in is super sturdy and classy. The branding is fantastic.
The matte silicone rubber on the battery has a great grip and looks very slick.
This is my first e-cig, I decided to get this after I tried one in a gas station and I am happy I did. I am now on the search for a tobacco flavoring that I like.
Posted on 7/28/13
by taylor
Great product. Comes with everything you need for an e-cig. I got the Tribeca flavor and I love it! I fully recommend this to anyone who is curious about trying Halo. MUCH better than any brand I have used before!!

Best Starter Kit on the market
by David
Prior to purchasing the Halo G6 starter kit I did a lot of research on the best E-cigs on the market. Now I'm not one to always go off reviews because I do realize the majority of them are slanted and biased, I decided to give Halo a try due to their consistency in reviews from multiple web sites. So I decided on ordering the Jet Black 78mm G6 starter kit (one manual and one automatic) and I've got to say that this is one of the smartest choices I've made when it comes to purchasing E-cigs. I use my G6 pretty heavily and it last for about 3/4's the day. The batteries come with this rubberized finish that feels good while holding. The one thing I noticed about the battery life is that with most E-cig batteries, when the battery starts to get low there tends to be a lower volume of vapor and throat hit from them. Not with the G6. It stays consistent the whole way through. Vapor production from it is amazing for such a little battery. I ordered 2 mini tanks with it and WOW, I'm glad I did. The taste of the E-liquid is twice as intensified as compared to the cartridges.
In conclusion: I'd have to say that the G6 is by far a superior product when it comes to other E-cig brands. (especially for the price point) I'd highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a good product at a decent price to stop wasting your cash on E-Cigs you can find at gas stations, grocery stores, retail outlets, etc... From my experience so far.....None of them compare to Halo.

G6 starter kit
by Albert
Wonderful starter kit. Batteries last for a good while. I'm very happy with this kit. Halo rocks!!
Posted on 7/18/13
Great Starter!
by Robert
When I first saw the price, I was expecting the quality to be pretty mediocre. After all, the kit is a little cheaper than some of the competition. I couldn't have been more wrong. This kit is amazing. The case is great - way better than the old tins it used to come in. It's sturdy, closes nicely, and just feels solid. The batteries (65mm auto for me) are awesome. They have a really cool rubber coating over them and seem to last a long time. The charger pieces are heavy and feel like great quality. I expect it to last a long time, highly recommended.

Great ecig introduction
by Nic
The G6 batteries are great, long life, excellent feel with the rubber texture grip. Whether you like auto or manual is personal preference, I do find the manual button to be a hair small. I'm constantly looking for it. Vapor production is great and great flavor from the juices. I was introduced to a bigger battery and clearo like the Triton and recently ordered a Triton because you do get a better hit and stronger flavor. I don't regret buying the G6 because it made transitioning to ecigs easier with the size being comparable to a real cig. You won't regret this purchase even if you decide to upgrade down the road. Small size is more inconspicuous when it matters.


text: Despite a slight weight gain (which may be more related to a more stable lifestyle and healthy regular eating), I found that this drug has stabalised my life back to the way I used to be. Whilst it doesn't touch the depressive behaviours (which I've not had in recent months) it clearly manages the hypomanic symptoms well. I don't babble, I can concentrate for long periods at work, and my moods are infinately more predicatable. I know how I will cope with the day ahead when I wake up, rather than the usual 'survival' of previous years.

Review critical of Seattle police May Day responseApril 2, 2013 @ 10:55 pm
SEATTLE (AP) - An outside review is critical of the Seattle Police Department's planning for last year's violent May Day protests, finding officers were confused about who was in charge and when they could use force.
The Seattle Times reports ( http://is.gd/hQDhXS) that the 62-page report by former Los Angeles Police Deputy Chief Michael Hillmann was released Tuesday.
Seattle police also released their own internal review.
Hillmann's report concludes police lost control of the protest for several hours. Most of the thousands of protesters marched peacefully but black-garbed anarchists broke windows, threw fire bombs and vandalized the federal courthouse.
In a statement, Seattle police spokesman Sgt. Sean Whitcomb says the department acknowledges that officers at future demonstrations need to have "clearly defined expectations" as well as appropriate equipment and the training to deliver "effective public safety services."

Celebrating 25 years of the Convention on the Rights of the Child
20 NOVEMBER 2014 | GENEVA, SWITZERLAND - On 20 November 1989, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly adopted a landmark – the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Convention recognises that children are human beings and more than just 'passive objects of care and charity' who are entitled to the enjoyment of a distinct set of rights in accordance with their specific needs. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most widely and rapidly adopted international treaty of all time, with more than 190 member states having ratified it.
Launch of the Technical Guidance on the application of a human rights based approach to reduce and eliminate preventable under-5 child mortality and morbidity
September 18, Geneva – The Technical Guidance on the application of a human rights based approach to reduce and eliminate preventable mortality and morbidity of children under 5 years of age was launched at a high-level side event to the Human Rights Council. The Guidance was created to assist States and non-state actors in applying a human rights based approach in their efforts to reduce and eliminate preventable child mortality and morbidity.
WHO Constitution: "the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being..."
Every country in the world is now party to at least one human rights treaty that addresses health-related rights. This includes the right to health as well as other rights that relate to conditions necessary for health.
The world needs a global health guardian, a custodian of values, a protector and defender of health, including the right to health
Dr Margaret Chan, Director-General, WHO
The role of the Health and Human Rights Team is to:
- Strengthen the capacity of WHO and its Member States to integrate a human rights-based approach to health.
- Advance the right to health in international law and international development processes.
- Advocate for health-related human rights.

DALLAS (AP) The Texas Democratic Party hopes to prove at its state convention that its candidate slate can be enough to end the party's 20-year losing streak in statewide elections. The party hopes to impress independents and young voters with a "more inclusive" platform than the state GOP's. Texas Republicans approved a hard-line immigration stance and endorsed therapy to turn gay people straight at their convention.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) The private art collection of Fort Worth philanthropists Nancy Lee and Perry Bass is scheduled for an exhibition next spring at the Kimbell Art Museum.

text: Careth Reid Saves Black History Photographs from Destruction By Post StaffPosted May 5, 2012 1:55 pm At the founding in 1945 of the United Nations, left to right: W.E.B. DuBois, Mary McLoud Bethune, Walter White. By Tanya Dennis If it were not for the quick thinking of a professor at San Francisco State University, thousands of photographs documenting 40 years of African American history in the Bay Area would have been lost forever. But instead, the 10,000 historical pictures taken by local photographer Emmanuel F. Joseph will be archived at San Francisco State University this year, donated by Careth Reid, who saved the collection. "The Smithsonian Institute wanted the collection, but it would have been too far away for local people to see," said Reid, who is retired from S.F. State. Joseph, a native of St. Lucia, chronicled important events in local history from 1930 – 1970. He captured the wartime bustle of Richmond shipyards, African-American Rosie the Riveters and photographed actress Lena Horne launching the USS George Washington Carver Liberty ship in 1943. He event captured some of the historic events held during founding of the United Nations in San Francisco in 1945. If it weren't for Reid, all the photographs would have been destroyed in 1979. Shortly after Joseph's death, his wife Daisy decided to return home to New York, putting the photographs up for sale. A buyer, interested in recycling the silver in the negatives, offered her $2,000. Daisy informed Reid that she would sell the collection to the one who came up with the $2,000 first. Reid felt it would be a tragedy to lose such an important record of Bay Area history. So, she bought the photographs. "This is one of the most valuable photographic recordings of African-American culture in California," she said. "E.F. Joseph photographed common people as well as the famous. He was there for birthdays, weddings, celebrations and historic moments," she said. Now in the process of trying to place names, times and occasions, Reid is busy going through the pictures. "I've only begun, there are so many boxes that I haven't opened yet. God slowed me down so I could do this work," she said. Share this:ShareFacebook Filed under: Articles
