The PS Audio Power Plant Premier (PPP) AC regenerator in my two channel system was replaced with a PS Audio PerfectWave P5 AC regenerator. Like many PPP owners, I was on the fence about "upgrading" from the PPP to the P5 because I wasn't sure the benefit, if any, would justify the expense. The P5 retails for $1305 more than the PPP ($3000 vs. $1695) and there are only minor differences in most of their performance specifications. Plus, the P5 has two less outlets than the PPP and the P5's continuous output power is 1/3 less than the PPP. It would seem like you are paying more for less. However, the P5 offers important upgrades in energy storage and energy delivery over the PPP which translate to a much better stereophonic presentation. After the first day, I could hear that the cost premium was justified. There was significant improvement in stereophonic performance parameters: more image weight, more depth, more bass weight and articulation and more fine detail.
Table 1. PPP-P5 Performance Specification Differences
The significantly lowered output impedance is important because it directly affects transient performance. Music signals have many peak power demands (transients) that last for only a small fraction of a second. The ability to cleanly and accurately reproduce such transients, particularly low frequency transients, contributes to the realism of sterophonic music reproduction.
Figure 1. The P5 is shipped double-boxed. The inner box contains an upper and
lower corrugated cardboard frame that surrounds and suspends the P5 in a tough
plastic bubble.
Figure 2. Sleek and elegant! The fit and finish of the P5 was excellent.
The PPP's case rang like a church bell. The P5's case is much better damped. Knocking on the P5's case in every location except for the upper side panels produced a solid dull thud. Knocking on the upper side panels produced a hollow sound.
Figure 3. P5 Rear. I didn't like the sideways turned outlets. Having to reach behind the unit and twist the
connectors of thick, stiff (1" diameter) power cables sideways was not fun.
The P5's user interfaces are the remote control, the front panel touch-screen and the online GlobalNet interface. The touch-screen provides a variety of menus for status reporting and control. I like the oscilloscope function that shows the input waveform, output waveform and the noise difference between the two.

Figure 6. P5 Voltage Out Waveform screen.
There were two errors in the P5 manual (which must be downloaded from the PS Audio website):
Page 7: "Naming output receptacle #1, Zone A: By selecting the green "setup" button next to that zone, the screen will change to a keyboard interface upon which letters and numbers can be touched to name that zone. Generally, users of the Power Plant 5 will name said output receptacle by that which is connected. For example "DAC" or "Power Amp" or "Turntable"."
CORRECTION: Output receptacles can only be named through the online GlobalNet interface. PS Audio said the keyboard interface will be activated in a future firmware update.
Page 10: "After its activation, but before the P5 fully initializes and enters the HOME SCREEN, the unit?s front-panel touch-screen can be touched anywhere on its face. This will bring the user to the SYSTEM SETUP SCREEN where the following parameters are displayed:
1. Unit ID
2. Bootloader
3. Firmware
4. Power Meter
5. Oscillator
6. Web
7. Dimmer"
CORRECTION: The System Setup Screen can only be accessed by touching the PS Audio logo in the center of the touch-screen as the P5 is initializing.
Figure 7. P5 and the PPP it replaced.
My initial plan was to move the PPP to my test rig. Apparently, the PPP did not appreciate being demoted to test rig duty. Immediately after turning on the PPP in its new location, it went into protection mode (as evidenced by a slow clicking sound). I rebooted the PPP and it went right back into protection mode. It was sent back to PS Audio for repair, which they did free of charge even though the unit was out of warranty. I had not had any trouble with it during the over three years it had been in my two channel system.
Three of the four PPP's I own have had to go back to PS Audio for repair. In each case there was a component failure in the regenerator circuit.

Online GlobalNet Interface
After a P5 is registered on the PS Audio website, the owner is able to monitor status and control certain functions through a web page interface. Individual power zones, as well as the entire unit, can be turned on and off remotely over the web interface. I (and other P5 owners) questioned the frequent voltage surges that appeared in the output voltage measurements. PS Audio confirmed that the voltage spikes shown in figure 10 are due to a bug in the P5's firmware. A firmware update to correct the bug is in progress.

on my morning news they reported that 1 addl male and 1 addl female will be added
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
I read that the #6 boy & the #6 girl will have a sing-off & the winner (voters will pick, not the judges) will be added to the tour. It didn't say anything about being added to the show. This sounds bizarre to me so I don't know if this is correct.
I wouldn't be surprised if they added 2 kids. The tour is grueling, and they'll need replacements for the group stuff.
As for the results, I'm fine with the ones they've got. I don't think Paul or Janelle are that great, but there aren't any other contestants who were much better this week. If there's justice, they'll be the first two out. Does it seem that they came out in reverse order?

AceOn6, the golf loving skating fan
There's a difference between "inexperienced" and "never having sung/been onstage"; as with Lazaro.
Yep, Jennifer Hudson sang on a cruise ship. I know "cruise ship singer" is often used as an dig at some of the contestants, but it can be a good opportunity for a first time gig. Not a bad way to earn some decent money while working on performance skills.
A cruise ship singer was on The Voice about two seasons ago. She was pretty good except her age worked against her as the judges wanted a younger demographic on their team.
I worked as both a cruise ship singer and a music director for a couple cruise lines -- honestly, we would NEVER hire anyone without at least nominal professional experience. Just saying. Six Flags and non-equity stock -- there's your first time performer training ground. Dude - cruise ship is a good gig! You make more out there than a lot of union shows!! (AND see the world AND get to be a princess. )
Re Lazaro...he may green, or it may be hype...but anyone with the peace of mind to tell the MD to follow him at the end of his song - moments after recieving life changing news and walking on stage (with a camera on your tail!), I think, will be just fine.
One thing though was clear...I don't think any of the 10 picked up on the fact that they were on camera while backstage. I know Ryan told them all but they had just found out they were in the top 10 & it didn't appear that any of them processed that.
Well, sorry people, but I think this is one of the worst overall group of finalists ever. Once Devin Velez is eliminated (if he is) I won't bother watching it & that's only happened once or twice in the past. Taylor Hicks win was one of those years.
I think this is going to be a great year in terms of vocals...but not necessarily personality. Which is fine, but sometimes having someone on who can really put on a show is a great thing (I would have been interested to see how much dancing Cortez might have added to his performances each week for example).
As for the top 10, I can't believe how many have such great pitch and smooth vocals!
Burnell Taylor - I'm Here followed by Ready For Love . WOW!!!
Candice Glover - I'm not 100% behind all of her song choices, but I'm Goin' Down - one of the best AI performances EVER.
Devin Velez - The Power of One (Change the World) - oh. my. gosh. He is SOMETHING!!
Amber Holcomb - I Believe In You And Me - another WOW! Her victory song of I'm Every Woman was a little shaky, but I'll cut her some slack with being overcome with making the top 10.
Kree Harrison - I love Kree, but I haven't really enjoyed her choices in the songs she's sung. Stronger was good, though. But I know she can do GREAT.
Curtis Finch, Jr. - He's a good singer, but his back story, mannerisms and over-the-top-edness are cringeworthy often. I did really enjoy him on So High.
Angie Miller - I like her, but I don't quite love her yet. Too many of her song choices seem similar to the previous performance. Good to see her get out from behind the piano for I Was Here.
Paul Jolley - He's been a favourite of mine from the beginning, but I admit he's not on equal footing (vocally) to the seven people I've just mentioned. Plus he's deluded if he thinks he could be the male Taylor Swift. The country music industry will never accept him.
Janelle Arthur - Have the judges seen a lot of good performances that we have not? She redeemed herself (barely) with Home, but it was still shaky. She has no competition from anybody country-ish (sorry Paul) and the other four ladies are more in the soul field. So Janelle will go much further than she should (which would be ninth place).
Lazaro Arbos. Poor, poor Lazaro. He can only dream as being half as talented as Janelle (which is not saying much considering this group). Imagine him in a sing-off (like on The Voice) against Devin. Or Burnell. Or Candice. They would all squash him like a bug. He should go first. He will probably get some extra votes as the poll at votefortheworst.com has him in first place as their next choice.
It's official. I am madly in love with Meryl Davis.
I've been too busy to keep up with AI this season, so I just watched a marathon of TVLine's Idology hosted by Michael Slezak. And I did see some of the male contestants this week. I don't know what to make of this crop of contestants. I can't comment on the females, but some of the male singers are and I wonder about the contestants they beat to get to the top 10. I think most of them can sing, but good grief they are zzzzzzzzzzz. Hopefully that will change when the main show begins this week. Crossing my fingers.
Nicki Minaj can't make it to work on time? What a diva. That is just absolutely inexcusable. You are on a LIVE television show being paid MILLIONS. I'd fire her...immediately and do the rest of the season with 3 judges.
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
Why is Curtis singing this in such a low key? He has incredible range and it does NOT work where it is at and he sounded horrible on the glory note.

My Top Five Picnic Spots in Cape Town
Even the word picnic is loaded with nostalgia; for me it holds memories of homemade frikkadels, chicken drumsticks and large cold drinks enjoyed with friends and family in special places. Your picnic basket may have changed, as mine has. The frikkadels and drumsticks are from the deli and the chilled drink is more likely to be a local wine. What does remain the same is sharing this time with loved ones, in places that leave me feeling inspired and relaxed.

There are a number of ways that homeowners can go beyond the basics and reduce energy bills and environmental impact. Technologies such as solar electric, also known as photovoltaics, solar thermal hot water, and geothermal heating and cooling can be good alternatives to reduce the usage of natural resources. While not for every home, these technologies offer powerful options in conjunction with comprehensive energy efficiency improvements. However, the first step is to make your home as energy efficient as possible. If you are building a new home, consider building a New York ENERGY STAR® Home. If you own an existing home, consider getting a Comprehensive Home Assessment or an Energy Audit through Home Performance with ENERGY STAR to evaluate the energy efficiency of your home and make necessary energy improvements. By reducing your home's energy usage, you could reduce the size of the advanced technology needed.
A Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is a policy that seeks to increase the proportion of renewable electricity used by retail customers. For more information on the RPS visit our Renewable Portfolio Standard web page.
Solar electric, or photovoltaic (PV) technology, makes use of the abundant energy in the sun, and has little impact on our environment. Photovoltaics can be used in a wide range of products, from small consumer items to large commercial solar electric systems. Commonly known as solar cells, individual PV cells are electricity-producing devices made of semiconductor materials that are often connected together to form PV modules. Modules, in turn, can be combined and connected to form PV arrays. These connected systems integrate easily with existing energy supplies.
Solar Thermal technology, often referred to as "Solar Heating and Cooling," harnesses the power of the sun to provide solar thermal energy (as opposed to solar electric energy or photovoltaics) for:
Wind is recycled solar energy. When sunshine reaches the earth, it heats the surface at different rates, and this uneven heating creates wind. A small increase in wind speed creates a large increase in wind energy. Wind turbines convert this energy into electricity.
Even in northern climates, the soil maintains a temperature of around 50 degrees at about four feet beneath the earth's surface. Heat pumps move this heat energy from the soil to the house in the winter and operate in reverse in the summer, pulling heat out of the house and to the soil. Heat pumps installed in energy-efficient homes can use dramatically less electricity than conventional electric heating and cooling systems.

I'll be at a party with relatives and friends.. drinking LOTS, and eating LOTS, and throwing up LOTS more. listening to some music, slurring my words... and hoping i don't make a fool of myself by saying something i'll regret the next day. ;)
last year.. i got into a bidding match with my brother in law over some Bose 901's luckily neither one of us remembered it the next day.. till his wife reminded him that we ended the bidding war (fake) at $950 for a pair of Bose 901's.

UPDATE: Up Next in Zimmerman Trial: Closing Arguments
July 10, 2013 | WMFE - Closing arguments begin Thursday in George Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial. Jurors could begin deliberating as early as Friday whether the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer shot and killed the unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin in self-defense.
[Photo courtesy of Joe Burbank, Orlando Sentinel/Pool]
Defense attorneys rested after presenting fewer than 20 witnesses in less than a week.
"You understand that no matter what counsel says to you it's still your decision, do you understand that?"
"Yes, your honor."
"And I need to know, is it your decision to not testify in this case?"
"Yes, your honor."
Defense attorney Mark O'Mara told reporters Zimmerman's decision not to testify was a difficult one.
"I think he wanted to tell his story. I think he really wanted to be able to interact with this jury and say this is what I did and this is why I did it."
O'Mara said defense attorneys felt their case was complete without the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer's testimony.
He said Zimmerman faces a possible life sentence – and he's worried.

So says a new study of the brain:
Why We Can't Do 3 Things at Once (LiveScience)
Do you think you can do more than two things at once? Or do you try to even though you can't?when faced with two tasks, a part of the brain known as the medial prefrontal cortex (MFC) divides so that half of the region focuses on one task and the other half on the other task. This division of labor allows a person to keep track of two tasks pretty readily, but if you throw in a third, things get a bit muddled.
"What really the results show is that we can readily divide tasking. We can cook, and at the same time talk on the phone, and switch back and forth between these two activities," said study researcher Etienne Koechlin of the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, France. "However, we cannot multitask with more than two tasks."
and then there are those of us that have trouble making choices at all...The results might also explain why humans seem to have a hard time making decisions between more than two things, Koechlin said.
Previous work has indicated that people like binary choices, or decisions between two things. They have difficultly when decisions involve more than two choices, Koechlin said. When faced with three or more choices, subjects don't appear to evaluate them rationally; they simply start discarding choices until they get back to a binary choice.

The standard set-up for a Cast-A-Way 221 is two pontoons and a modest outboard, like this 90-hp Honda. Dealers we spoke with said most buyers even went for a little less power; base price with a 70-hp Yamaha is around $35,000, according to our local dealer. The Bimini top is standard, along with a changing room.More Tubes Increase PerformanceUsually, when a boat, or car, or whatever comes with two of something standard, with an option for three, it implies that the item with just two isn't quite as good. That's not the case with the Cast-A-Way 221: According to a company rep we interviewed, the reasons people opt for the extra tube are to carry more weight and/or to use bigger engines and therefore go faster. Adding the third tube raises the maximum capacity from 2,300 lbs (1,043 kg) to 2,675 lbs (1,213 kg) with a round tube, and 2,900 lbs (1,315 kg) with the high-performance PTX tube. The 221 comes with a choice of layouts, differing in the use of an L-lounge and small table in one (top) and a pair of swivel chairs with an even smaller table between them in the other. The latter arrangement has a small lounge aft of the chairs. We like to lie down now and then, and would choose the lounge option without hesitation. Both have bow and portside gates, chairs forward and aft for fishing or just watching the river flow.Naturally, both options increase cost, both for the boat itself and the larger outboard; our local dealer said he hadn't sold a 221 Cast-A-Way yet with the three-tube option. Staying with the standard two tubes meant the boat would perform fine with a 70-hp outboard; base price with that set-up is around $35,000. In all cases, the tubes are .090-gauge aluminum, multi-chambered, with .100 gauge hydrodynamic nosecones.Premier fits the 221 Cast-A-Way with complete gauges and a Lowrance X-52 fishfinder; we'd prefer it mounted somewhere other than behind the slick Foletto steering wheel. Vertically mounted controls are typical aboard pontoons, for some reason. We like ours mounted on a horizontal surface – but we'd probably get used to this arrangement.PTX PerformancePremier's patent-pending PTX design takes triple-tubes one step further: Rather than simply adding a third round tube down the middle, PTX technology incorporates a flat planing surface on the middle tube, which, on the 221, measures 36" (91 cm) rather than the 25" (63.5 cm) of the outer tubes. (The center tube is mounted differently than the outside ones, so the bottoms of all three are the same depth.) Lifting strakes on the insides of the outer tubes help shorten time-to-plane. Premier found that strakes on both sides of the tubes made the boat run too flat, but adding them only to the inside let the boat bank into turns, reducing radius and making for more agile handling.This isn't a 221 Cast-A-Way, but another Premier pontoon fitted with the PTX triple-tube arrangement. Look closely and you'll see the flat planing surface of the center tube; out of sight are the lifting strakes on the insides of the outer tubes. PTX technology provides better handling than simple round tubes, but requires more horsepower. Hydraulic steering comes standard with PTX, and the central tube allows for a long in-deck stowage locker, big enough for skis, wakeboards or fishing rods.PTX technology lifting strakes let the boat get on plane faster and increase top speed by about 10%, according to Premier. But they only work on the inside of the tubes; adding strakes to the outside as well impairs performance, the company discovered.Construction DetailsPremier's tubes are pressure-tested during manufacture, and come fitted with Pals tube vents to compensate for outside temperature fluctuation; the vents will also prevent the tube from filling with water in the event of a puncture, according to the builder. The tubes are attached to the deck with extruded M-brackets and Z-channel crossmembers on 16" (40.6 cm) centers; the company feels putting crossmembers on 16" centers rather than industry-standard 24" (61 cm) makes a stiffer frame, which adds to the 221's stability. Extra crossmembers support the aluminum transom.You can't fish without rods, but leave them on the deck and sure as anything someone will step on them. The 221 Cast-A-Way solves that problem with built-in rod lockers.The deck is pressure-treated marine-grade plywood, the only wood in the boat. (Even the furniture is wood-free.) It's attached to the crossmembers not with through-bolts, usually the best fastening for marine construction, but with stainless-steel Tek self-drilling, self-tapping fasteners. The Tek fasteners are screwed through the deck directly into the crossmember, generating enough heat to weld the fastener in place, says Premier. The plywood deck is covered with marine-grade carpet or vinyl.The live well is big enough to hold bait, or to keep tonight's dinner swimming until it's time for the grill. When closed, the top serves as a bait station, with molded indents to hold lures, hooks, pliers and other angling tools. (See below.)Open, it's a live well; closed, a fishing prep station. Our RecommendationPremier is one of the top pontoon-boat builders, with lots of satisfied customers – enough that the company has earned the NMMA Customer Satisfaction Index award for six years in a row. How can we not suggest that you check out the Cast-A-Way 221 (or one of her two larger sisters) if you're in the market for a pontoon boat, especially if you like to fish? Combining aluminum tubes, high-quality construction, lots of standard equipment and the option of increased performance with PTX technology, recommending the 221 is a no-brainer for us. It's a real nice pontoon, and you can get into it for a reasonable price. What's not to like?Who says girls don't like to fish? If you want quality time with your kids, of either gender, nothing beats a lazy day on the lake, drifting lures. A comfortable boat helps, and for that Premier has the Cast-A-Way 221. It's perfect for family fishing.

Amazing 'This is Water' Commencement Speech Gets the Short Film Treatment Amazing 'This is Water' Commencement Speech Gets the Short Film Treatment
Amazing 'This is Water' Commencement Speech Gets the Short Film Treatment
It doesn't matter that I've read and listened to the audio of David Foster Wallace's much-shared 2005 graduation speech enough to recite parts of it by heart—I still got the chills seeing this new short film from director Matthew Freidell, which uses original audio from Wallace's "This is Water" speech. I could gripe about how the abridged version used in the film left out some very good parts of the original speech, but I'll let that go (Wallace did have the tendency to write long). It's enough to see a moving visual depiction of "This is Water" that will surely reach a larger audience—even if it's a bittersweet reminder that we won't hear anything new from the late author. Watch and listen.
