Customized Product (RED) Mac Pro revealed for upcoming charity auctionAuction house Sotheby's on Friday outed another collaboration between Apple SVP of Design Jony Ive and acclaimed industrial designer Marc Newson, this time a custom Product (RED) edition Mac Pro.
According to Sotheby's estimates for Lot 27, the "selected and customised" Apple desktop will go for between $40,000 and $60,000, though the final going price will likely be much more.
As with Ive's previous work for the Nov. 23 charity auction, including a one-off Leica M digital rangefinder, the Mac Pro has added flair above and beyond the normal retail version set to hit store shelves this December. Not much is revealed in the lot detail, though it appears from the pictures that the aluminum substructure and outer shell have been anodized in red.
In addition to the Leica and the Mac Pro, Ive worked with Newson and Bono on a pair of 18 karat rose gold EarPods. The Apple design guru is also listed as having a hand in a custom Range Rover, an Hermès horse saddle and a Dom Pérignon bottle cooler (which includes a 1.5L Magnum bottle of Dom Pérignon nothèque 1966), among other red designs.
The charity event, titled "Jony and Marc's (RED) Auction," benefits the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria.
On Topic: Mac Pro
- Nvidia working with Apple on graphics for 'revolutionary' new Mac products

A James Island man with a key to a downtown apartment was arrested after police said they found more than half a pound of cocaine there.
Charleston police carried out a search warrant at 12C Smith St. about 4:25 p.m. Thursday, according to an incident report. Nobody was home at the time, and police used a key to get in.
Police said they found a large Food Saver bag containing nine one-ounce bags of cocaine (totaling 261.8 grams), a digital scale, a marijuana grinder and paperwork belonging to Timothy Montez Wright, 28, of Fort Johnson Road.
Charleston County sheriff's deputies arrested Wright at his house on Fort Johnson Road. He was carrying a key to 12C Smith St., a digital drug scale and $1,175 in cash, according to the incident report.
Wright was charged with trafficking cocaine and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute near a school (Memminger Elementary is near the Smith Street apartment).
On Monday, police arrested Latia Anna Murray, 30, of Grimball Road, on the same charges, as well as neglect of a child, according to jail records.

Bridge is finally shipped, question to the beta tester. How do you install the firmware, it is comes with the Bridge or I have to download it from PS Audio site? I did not receive the firmware link from PS Audio.

Here's some innard shots for those that care, very surprised to see how small and simple it all is inside the huge chassis:
I actually got my PS Audio Bridge for my Perfectwave DAC many days ago, but everything is packed up for RMAF next week. So, I have no idea about the firmware updates for Bridge or Perfectwave DAC yet myself. Maybe I should open the box and see what's in there. My understanding is that we update the Perfectwave DAC via SD card to recognize the Bridge, and then we can start doing wireless or network updates after the Bridge is installed. I just don't know if those updates do both the DAC and Bridge from that point forward, or if sometimes we'll need to use an SD card.
I've been playing with the TagNPlay iPhone software using TwonkyServer on my iMac with iTunes library on external 2Tb drive, and it seems fine when playing the music through the iPhone as the destination (obviously not through bridge which is still boxed up). In order to access my music without having to leave the iMac running I recently bought a Netgear Stora 1Gb NAS (UPnP/DLNA compatible) and copied 180Gb of music into it's shared music folder. It took three attempts to copy because my Mac would give me an error message after about 70-80Gb went through (15-20 Gb/hr via 802.11n, so I moved the Mac upstairs to plug right into the router and got 60-70 Gb/hr copying music from a 1Tb USB drive into the NAS, with no errors).
The PS Audio TagNPlay software can see the music on the NAS just fine, but most of the Albums on the NAS server play out of order when using TagNPlay. iTunes has no trouble seeing the correct song order for albums stored on the NAS (shows up as a shared library in iTunes). I double checked and TwonkyServer on the iMac still has the albums in the right order with TagNPlay, even if it's pulling the music off the NAS instead of my normal 2Tb USB drive. It's just the Netgear server that doesn't have the right play order.
I decided to return the Netgear NAS and may order a LaCie Network Space MAX with two 1Tb, and see if their music server does a better job than the Netgear. If that doesn't do the trick, I may just elect to leave the iMac server running all the time. This may be a good excuse to pick up an cheap used Mac Mini to connect to my 27" bedroom TV and set up as a TwonkyServer instead.
As I understand it the SD card is for the PWD firmware (which Is different than the bridge firmware). It is a little confusing which is which. TagNplay is not perfect, but IMO it is serviceable. The main issues are things like missing album artwork, which I blame more on the upnp software (Twonky). I'm looking forward to the release of PS Audios Upnp Server later in the year.

Thanks HPA and Yikes, I guess I have to wait until I return back from Chicago. The Bridge is waiting for me at home now.
As per my last post, I bought a Netgear Stora NAS but songs in the music server directory played in the wrong order using TagNPlay. It shared my music with iTunes as a shared library and there the music played in the right order, but not in TagNPlay for the Bridge.
I returned the Netgear and got a LaCie Network Space Max as recommended elsewhere. It arrived yesterday and I loaded it with 200Gb of music, and songs play in the right order and album art is correct as well through TagNPlay. So it's perfect with the PWD and Bridge. LaCie actually uses Twonkey and Firefly to serve music, and Twonkey for Mac works well too if you don't mind leaving a computer on all the time.
My problem is that I can see the LacCie shared iTunes library in iTunes 9.2.1, but if I click on it it wont load. I get get an error message like the one below:

There seems to be a fair amount of confusion concerning the Network Bridge and PWD. So in an effort to claify I am posting a question that I received and my reply.
My reply
The answer to your question is No, and sort of yes. The PWD is a very high performance DAC. For a few years I have been using a dedicated Music Server PC as my digital "Transport" and controlling the PC with some type of handheld computing device running VNC. With this type of setup the Music Server PC must be within a few feet of the DAC. In addition getting a quality digital signal from the PC to the DAC is problematic. There are only a few PC Cards that provide a really high quality digital output (AES/EBU or SPDIF - Lynx or M-Audio). USB, even with the latest FOTM asynchronous DAC's doesn't offer the performance of the best AES/EBU or SPDIF connections into a quality DAC (It's the reason Asynchronous DAC's usuallydon't offer AES/EBU or SPDIF connections; it would encourage comparisons). I disagree adamantly with PS Audio's claim that the USB is #2 (Behind their I-2S) digital input. I feel that this listing is them bending to market pressure (The Market wants USB to be the High Quality Input).
What the Network Bridge is (I believe this is what you are referring to with PWB) is a plug in interface that allows Streaming the digital signal (Music) from a Network attached UPnP device (Either a NAS or as in my case a PC attached to my network) to the PWD (The DAC) with quality that matches the finest direct connections (AES/EBU, SPDIF, or PS Audio's proprietary I-2S on HDMI cable). The Network Bridge is much more than a simple Network connection, it Buffers and then Re-Clocks the streamed data and then outputs it as I-2S to the PWD. It basically gets the audibly and electrically noisy computer out of the listening room, while still allowing performance as if the computer was right there using a Lynx or M-Audio sound card as its digital connection. The iPad interface is hardly perfect, but it is usable, and it is ever improving.
I'm doing some preliminary research on this and unfortunately my local distributor charges an insane rate of $2900 for the PerfectWave. Anyway, I would appreciate it if someone can provide with the actual dimension and weight of the whole DAC + packing material. I would guess the figures in their site (25 lbs, 3.75"H x 14"D x 17"W) refer to the DAC itself.
Yes, they ship in two boxes.

WEST HAVEN, Conn. A Connecticut 911 dispatcher has been suspended with pay after he and a Vermont man were charged by Vermont State Police in an alleged child sex slave case.
Brett Bartolotta, 42, of Cavendish, Vt., and dispatcher Frank Meyer, 39, were charged last week with aggravated sexual assault and slave trafficking. Both men, who are former West Haven firefighters, have pleaded not guilty.
West Haven Mayor John Picard said Monday that Meyer was placed on paid leave effective March 1 pending a hearing set for Friday.
Authorities say the two men bribed the boy with money and gifts to perform sex acts in Vermont beginning when he was 12 years old. The alleged victim, now 25, told police his relationship with the two men continued until last year.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The Vermont State Colleges System Board of Trustees voted unanimously Thursday to...

Handling a Tenant's Abandoned Property in Iowa
Learn the rules landlords in Iowa must follow to deal with property abandoned by a tenant.
Whether a tenant moves out voluntarily or after an eviction, you may find yourself not only cleaning up and repairing damage, but also dealing with personal property left behind. Usually, this will just be trash that the tenant doesn't want, such as old wine bottles, food, and newspapers. When it's clear that you're dealing with garbage, you're free to dispose of it. Remember that you can deduct the cost of cleaning up a tenant's rental unit and making any necessary repairs from their security deposit. See Iowa Security Deposit Limits and Deadlines for details.
Getting rid of belongings that have value -- such as a bicycle, a stereo, clothes, or furniture -- is another story. Unlike most states, Iowa has no clear laws telling landlords how to deal with valuable personal property an ex-tenant leaves behind. The only statute discussing how to deal with abandoned personal property applies to mobile homes and belongings left in or around them. (See Iowa Code § 555B.2.)
To protect yourself from legal troubles, the Rental Handbook published by the Iowa Finance Authority recommends that you talk to a lawyer whenever you believe a tenant has abandoned a rental unit and left property behind. (For help finding a lawyer, see "Learn More," below.) That's wise advice, but if you decide to proceed without a lawyer's help, the following suggestions may help.
Include Abandoned Property Rules in Your Lease or Rental Agreement
It may be too late this time, but consider updating your lease or rental agreement to include provisions about dealing with a tenant's abandoned property. In states without written laws explaining the rules, it's particularly helpful to use a lease that says exactly what will happen if the tenant moves out and leaves stuff behind.
Your revised lease can cover different circumstances, such as the steps you'll take if the tenant moves out after giving proper notice or after an eviction. For your own legal protection, these steps should include:
- taking inventory of the abandoned property
- storing any property that has value
- giving written notice to the tenant detailing how and where to reclaim the property
- providing a deadline for picking up the property (30 days is common)
- requiring the tenant to reimburse you for the reasonable costs of moving and storing the property, and
- declaring that failure to claim the property means it is legally abandoned.
The lease should also cover what you intend to do with abandoned property, including offering it for sale to the public.
For general tips on crafting a smart lease or rental agreement, see The Basics of Leases and Rental Agreements on Nolo.com.
Before drafting a new lease or rental agreement, you should research common practices in Iowa (a landlords' association may provide useful advice) to ensure your provisions comply, or hire an experienced attorney to help draft appropriate lease language. See "Learn More," below, for advice on finding these resources.
When There's No Written Agreement
If you're certain the property has been abandoned and your lease doesn't cover the matter, it's usually safe to take the steps set out in the section just above: Take inventory of the property (including photographs), carefully store it, and send a detailed notice to the tenant.
For additional guidance on preparing the notice, see Handling a Tenant's Abandoned Property: Legal Notice Requirements.
When the Tenant Doesn't Reclaim the Property
If you've given the tenant reasonable notice and they haven't come back for the property, you can dispose of it. To be safe, you may wish to:
- sell the property at a public sale
- publish notice of the sale in a prominent place, including a newspaper with daily, local circulation, and
- send the tenant a final notice that states where and when you will sell the property.
If the tenant owes you money for back rent, property damage, or reasonable storage costs -- and the tenant's security deposit didn't cover everything -- you can take the balance out of the sale proceeds. If there's money left over, you'd be smart to keep funds from sale proceeds in trust for the tenant for at least one year. After that, research Iowa law or consult a lawyer to find out whether you can keep the money or if you must turn it over to the county or state.
If there is insufficient money to cover back rent, property damage, or storage costs, you may sue the tenant in small claims court. See Iowa Landlord's Guide to Security Deposit Disputes in Small Claims Court for details.
Learn More
Finding a landlords' association. You can often get good information and advice by talking with other landlords. You may want to begin by contacting an Iowa landlords' association.
Getting a lawyer's help. A qualified lawyer can help you find and understand any rules that apply to your situation. It's particularly wise to consult a lawyer if:
- you're not absolutely certain the property has been legally abandoned
- you think the abandoned property is very valuable, or

The Value of Referrer Data in Link Building
How is referrer data useful in your link building strategy? Learn three simple signals to help you better understand and capitalize on your referrer data, plus, find out how to take advantage of competitor data for more diversified links.
The Legacy of Spam
Link building isn't as easy as it once was. Google Penguin changed the game. Now, rather than building links "the easy way," SEOs must focus on building natural, relevant, and useful links – not the kind that exist only to increase search rankings.
The Many Shades of Google's Link Disavow Tool
The disavow tool is a very valuable tool to webmasters who need more control over off-site issues affecting their search rankings, but it isn't the game changer some people are making it out to be. In fact, it could be harmful in the wrong hands.
Speed Up Your Searching with HydraLinks
HydraLinks is a simple utility that lets you manipulate and save search results to a customizable list, speeding up your searching and letting you easily share results with others.

A griddle is a heavy, flat iron plate used to cook foods over heat. Some griddles are gas or electric and provide their own heat. Others are used over stoves, fires or grills. Food is typically cooked directly on the surface. This cooking device usually is a broad, flat surface, but occasionally you can find an appliance with small ripples to make it more like a grill.
Most devices will have a non-stick surface, but some are simply made from cast iron. The design will depend on the manufacturer. You can find this type of product from George Foreman, Nostalgia Electrics, Koolatron and many other manufacturers. The fact is, a griddle is used in homes and restaurants around the world. Consider how you can use it and its benefits as you shop through the selection so you can decide if it's right for you.
Cooking More Than Just Breakfast
When most people think of a griddle, they probably picture pancakes and bacon piled high for a big family breakfast. However, griddles can be used in many other ways too. In fact, because it is essentially just a flat cooking surface, you can use it for almost anything. Some people employ a griddle as a hot plate. Others cook burgers, chicken, steak, prawns, skewers and other grilled meals indoors on their appliance. You could make fajitas, quesadillas, falafel patties, hashbrowns, cheesesteaks, grilled cheese sandwiches and so much more on griddles. Needless to say, this equipment has almost endless uses.
Benefits of a Griddle
While it seems this kitchen electric can be used for a lot, you may still be curious about the benefits. The appliance seems large, and most of what you can make on it you can make on a different piece of equipment. However, it is a very beneficial kitchen appliance to have. Here are just a few benefits you may notice once you buy your new griddle.
This kitchen appliance comes in a range of prices. It all depends on the size, the accessories, the heat source and the professional grade you are looking for. Its versatility and price range make it a great appliance for many kitchens.
It provides a greater surface area than most other kitchen equipment. This means you can cook big meals or just big foods with ease. Whether you're trying to feed 20 or you just want to heat up a large tortilla, a griddle may be the tool you need.
As mentioned previously, you can use the heat underneath the cooker as a plate warmer or an area to keep already prepared dishes warm. Now, this benefit will vary based on the appliance you buy. For example, if you get a cast iron griddle with no built-in heating element, you won't be able to use the space underneath to keep food warm because it won't exist.
Most options have a grease tray. This can make your chicken, steak and other greasy foods a little healthier. The grease drips right off of your food into the grease tray, so you don't have to eat it or clean it up.
The completely flat surface is beneficial for a few different reasons. First, it makes maneuvering a spatula easier. You don't have to worry about the edges of a frying pan, so your omelets will flip with ease. Second, the heat on the surface is even. This is especially true with the self-heating options. A griddle on the stove, grill or fire may have cooler spots.
Finally, it is a great kitchen appliance to have because it frees up your stove. If you're cooking a huge meal, you may need all the space you can get. You could be boiling noodles, making pasta sauce, cooking a vegetable, baking bread, searing meat and browning up your appetizer all at the same time. When it comes down to it, the benefits of griddles are pretty hard to ignore.
Get Your Griddle
Are you ready to buy your own griddle? Search through the various models from the different manufacturers now to find the one that is right for you. You may be able to find self-heating griddles that use either electricity or gas. You could also find a cast iron option that is heated on the stovetop, grill or fire. Shop all of the options here at Living Direct today, so you can find the perfect griddle to complement the rest of your kitchen appliances.

Acer C720P-2666 Chromebook
Average of 2 scores (from 3 reviews)
Reviews for the Acer C720P-2666 Chromebook
Source: PC Advisor
The C720 doesn't excel in any particular department, but it scores highly enough in most of them to make it a good all-rounder. Lightweight, fast, cheap, and actually quite a cool looking device. The keyboard is a little underwhelming, but for the money it's a very easy machine to recommend.
Single Review, online available, Very Short, Date: 10/09/2014
Rating: Total score: 70% price: 90% performance: 70% features: 70% workmanship: 80%
Source: Slashgear
As with the previous model, the C720P has excellent battery life. When using it for near-constant browsing and occasional music, we pulled in over 6 hours, and when used carefully (reduced display brightness and such), you can get it over the 7 hour mark. In summary, it is small, light, and inexpensive, three markers that make it appeal to many varieties of users. Those who have been holding out for an inexpensive Chromebook with a touch display will find the Acer C720P to be an excellent choice, doing all the things a Chromebook does best.
Single Review, online available, Medium, Date: 02/06/2014
Source: Comp Reviews
Acer's C720P is essentially the same C720 Chromebook but with a touchscreen based display. Thanks to their low pricing, this puts it only slightly more expensive than competing Chromebooks but with more local storage on it and touch. It would have been nice to see a design update but that would have likely increased the overall cost which is critical to many consumers.

RPG: Using guides vs playing on your own
I'm new to RPG games. Main reason: they seem boring to me. But with the whole Final Fantasy thing (everyone saying they're MUST play games), I bought FF VII from the PSN store. Actually bought it a long time ago, just haven't gotten around to starting it. So I'll probably be starting this real soon, I know it's a long game and all.
I remember going to my friends house when he was playing FF XII and Kingdom Hearts, and he ALWAYS had the guide right in front of him. In my opinion, it kind of takes away from the game, making it easier with the whole not having to look for items and whatnot. But again, I'm new to RPG so I shouldn't be assuming I know what I'm talking about
So what I'm trying to get at is: should I buy a guide or play it on my own? Do I really miss all that much without the guide? I'm assuming the game should still be enjoyable without a guide right?

First of all, you should not buy a guide. This isn't because it's wrong to use a guide, but because it's foolish to pay for something that you can legally get for free all over the internet. Save your money and head to GameFAQs or something similar.
As for using a guide as you play, it's really up to you. If you hate getting stuck, or don't want to miss anything, use a guide. If you want to figure it out for yourself as you go along, go without.
Personally, what I do is I just play the first time on my own, and only grab a guide if I get stumped as to what I should do next. After I finish, then I'll go find a guide and see what I might have missed for future reference. But again, it's really up to you.

You think RPG games are boring and you're asking if you should use a guide to hand hold you through the entire game?
And as mjc said, buying a guide is a waste of money when the same information is easily available on the internet.

I would skim over a guide as I was playing to make sure I didn't miss any, er
, missables. If it's a 50, 60+ hour game the last thing I'm going to do when I finish is start again straight away, therefore I want to make sure I get the most out of it.

If you have good willpower, you could always get close to completing an area, then check the guide to see if you missed anything and go back for it instead of just reading from the guide directly as you play. You just have to avoid looking ahead.

Like MJC,I only use one if I get stuck.Sometimes it's nice to have a guide if you're in a rush of beating the game though.I know for the Xenosaga series I bought the first and second guides for like $10.00 that' s just because I got tired of looking for all the secret doors or w/e their called.As for FF7 you don't really need one,If you get stuck look online or ask someone,I know just about everything in that game as well as I'm sure alot of people on here does.

i would try to avoid using a guide the first time through. IMO it kind of ruins the experience when you have to constantly stop and look at where to go next.

CLAUDE GIROUX'S ROAD to the NHL was a long one. His road home for the holidays seems even longer.
Giroux grew up in Hearst, Ontario (population, 6,000). The farthest drivable place in Northern Ontario, Hearst is not accessible by plane, and the options are daunting. You can either fly to Timmins, Ontario, and drive 3 hours, or fly to Ottawa and make the 10-hour haul.
At the edge of town, a sign used to hang that read "Moose Capital of the World," something that was Hearst's claim to fame for decades.
"The closest town is an hour away," the Flyers forward says of Hearst, which he called home until age 14. "And that's another small town, too. The closest city is Timmins, if you want to call that a city."

Product Description
We've all been foolish, but Andrew Palau declares that he was among the worst – magnified by his status as the son of a popular international evangelist. This is the wildly dramatic story of what happens when a shameful life collides with God's relentless grace.
He spent his growing-up years living for himself—recklessly rebelling against his evangelist father's faith, numb to God and to the letters his father wrote him, immersed in the dark side of life. Until one intense night in the Jamaican Blue Mountains that allowed him to see himself in the mirror of grace, changing everything.
The Secret Life of a Fool is Andrew Palau's unforgettable journey of running from God—and the crushing, freeing experience of coming back to Him. It is a story of getting high, burning up cars, being stranded in Europe, surviving a near-fatal plane crash, and utter despair overcome by simple grace and a father's love, expressed in excerpted letters throughout this book.

I had a friend that was following down the same path this guy was and thanks to the Lord he too was also able to get his life straightened out and is doing wonderful in the military.

While he had some wild years it was in thanks to his love of God that he was able to get back on the right path and lead others down it also. I think his story will be of great help to others who are needing love and guidance to get back on the road to redemption.
thank you PR by the book for allowing me to review this book.
IreneUnited States5 Stars Out Of 5A very personal storyApril 3, 2012IreneUnited StatesQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Secret Life of a Fool: One Man's Raw Journey from Shame to Grace.This is a very personal story told by the author about his life. The author is the son of an evangelist and spent some of his life running from his family and their beliefs. After reading this book you can't help but see how much the Lord loves each of us and walks with us through life.
This book was very easy to read. The stories flowed well and will have you wanting to keep reading to see what happens. The best parts of the book are when the author directs you to the Lord. You will see over and over the Lords hand in his life and hopefully feel encouraged that the Lord is helping you as well.
I was very impressed with the authors' openness in sharing his life experiences. He holds nothing back and because of that, really makes this book a page-turner. If you know someone who is struggling with a prodigal child or if you know a child who has walked away from Christianity this would be a great book for them to read!
I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

Mike Sando has posted an analysis from AdamJT13 which projects the compensatory picks to be awarded for the NFC West teams.
Seattle is projected to acquire four picks in the 7th round. The 49ers project to get one in the 5th round and one in the 6th round, while the Cardinals project to get one in the 7th.
No one knows the secret formula that the leagues uses to determine these picks but AdamTJ13 has apparently figured out the formula close enough to accurately project how they will be awarded.
The NFL will award those picks during its annual meetings scheduled for March 22-25 this year.
While I'm glad we should get four picks, I'm a bit disappointed that they will all be at the very bottom of the draft and therefore be little better than undrafted free agents. I would rather have the two picks the 49ers have in the 5th and 6th rounds. I guess that's four players we don't have to compete with other clubs to sign as undrafted free agents.
