Sometimes a person may wonder if the HF 45-watt kit is performing properly, such as: "Is it really charging the battery?" or "Is there a problem at all?"Here is a cheap and easy way to monitor the…Continue
I picked up a new, but older HF 45w kit at a swap meet. When I hooked up a panel to test it, the regulator (no meter, just leds) puts out a high pitched alarm-like sound. I can't find anything in the instructions (rev. 11/03) about an alarm so I don't know what it's telling me. I haven't measured the output but there's enough to light one of the lights that came with the kit.
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Do you have it hooked up to a battery?
No, is that the problem?
Probably, hook it up to any 12 volt battery, even if it's a dead one you have laying around.
A dead battery didn't work but hooking up to my car battery silenced the alarm. The dead battery I used may not be chargeable so a "good" dead battery may work OK.
Thinking I'd missed something, I re-read the instructions and there's nothing in them about having to connect a battery you want to just power something directly.
Do you think there would be any problem in my putting a switch into the alarm circuit to permit operation without a battery?
Thanks for your help.
Yea, the switch thing shouldn't work. These are designed to have a battery and charge controller connected at all times. Gonna have to bite the bullet and get a battery.
On reflection, this makes sense since the battery adds stability to the system. Otherwise you couldn't be assured of a steady, regulated output. Too bad the instructions, including the pictures, say nothing of this. I haven't quite figured out what I'll do with this but it was too good a deal to pass up ($60 for both the kit and an Arco M65 45w panel). I already have solar on my travel trailer and love it.
I'm a ham radio operator so I may just keep it in my pick-up for emergency power.
Smoking deal Bob, no way any of us would have passed that up.
I've bought 3 sets of the 45 watt panel systems. How many batteries do I need? do I need a charge controller? And what about an inverter. I plan to use it "off the grid"
BTW, I plan to get more panels, so do I buy additional batteries and big inverter? Is there a big difference between modified pure sine inverter and a pure sine inverter? As of right now, I'm not sure what I will power with my system.

Uno Hype - Plight
Artist: Uno Hype
Producer: Kenny Keys
Album: Be Good
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 5 total votes )
Being from the DMV, I remember the days when the area was largely overlooked in discussions of major hip-hop cities. Thanks to artists like Wale, the DC area has earned a spot on the musical map, but now it's up to the next generation to take us even farther. I'd say the region is in good hands, seeing as Uno Hype's Plight is the third feature of the day from a DMV emcee (see 2 AM and Find My Way). Over the string-driven boardwork of Kenny Keys, Uno shows his more serious, no-nonsense side. The 19-year-old delivers his potent bars in an intriguing flow that has a grimy feel despite the crispness and alacrity in his voice (chalk that up to his hunger to keep the DMV moving). Plight can be found on Uno Hype's Be Good mixtape, out now online.

British violinist Nicola Benedetti might have expected her professional peers to be formally-dressed orchestra musicians, but instead she found herself among boy bands and teen idols.
Her new album The Silver Violin reached 32 on the British alum chart, eclipsing Justin Bieber and making it the most successful record by a classical soloist since Nigel Kennedy.
Benedetti is to perform in Wellington will peform in Wellington with the New Zealand Symphony Orchetra this weekend.
At just 16 years old, in 2004, she won the BBC Young Musician of the Year Award.
Last week, she was named best female artist at the 2012 Classic BRIT Awards.
Her success did not come as a surprise she said, because she entered the world of classical music with no expectations.
''Nevertheless I have felt beyond fortunate to have received the opportunities I have these past few years.
"I'm trying to honour them and the music as best I can,'' she said.
Her life was busier, fuller and more hectic than ever before, but was hugely fulfilling and educational, she said.
''My hopes are to develop as a musician and to manage the balance between this and my commitment to bringing the core of classical music to new people day in, day out.''
Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major was once considered unplayable, but the youthful violinist mastered it and it became a regular part of her repertoire.
All the great violin concertos posed different challenges, but Tchaikovsky's were primarily stamina and strength, she said.
''It was the first major romantic violin concerto I fell in love with as a little girl, so for that reason recording it was an emotional moment for me.''
Benedetti will perform the piece in Wellington this week with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in Forbidden Love.
Other pieces featuring in the concert will be Kenneth Young's Dance, Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story, and another piece by Tchaikovsky, Francesca da Rimini, Opus 32.
- Forbidden Love, Saturday, October 13, Michael Fowler Centre. Wellington soprano Joanna Heslop will give a free 30-minute talk 45 minutes before the concert.

The product looks exactly as it did on the website. But it wasn't all cast aluminum. The chairs are c/a, but the table has some steel and it could rust in the upcoming years living in a humid environment next to a pool. But it does look good and it is comfortable. One of the chair legs was not equal. I had to put some felt underneath to keep it from rocking.
Very solid construction at an exceptional price. The table base is very heavy so I have no concerns about tipping. It was easy for me to put it together without help. All hardware and the necessary wrenches were included. No other tools were needed. I spent a very long time shopping in stores and online to find the right bistro set for my upstairs balcony. This set definitely delivers the value I was looking for.
Not too difficult to put together. This set is heavy and comfortable.
Solid beautiful- great price!!! looks so much more expensive!
Overall, very pleased with this set. Unfortunately, one of the chair arms was broken. The packaging was not very strong, I suspect the manufacturer was at fault. Overstock offered to replace the chair within 24 hours. Exemplary service as usual from them, so I'm satisfied.

West Memorial Day Tourney Preview
Todd Gold
Monday, May 21, 2012
PHOENIX, AZ-- The 2012 summer travelball season kicks off in Ft. Myers, FL and Phoenix, AZ with the WWBA East & West Memorial Day Classics. The east event has run since 2009, while the western edition in Arizona gets set to kick off its second run.
With the high school season wrapped up in Arizona, and over for most of the players in California (save for the teams who have made it deep into the playoffs), the summer season opens with these two highly competitive regional events. In the short history of the east Memorial Day Classic, the event has already produced five first round draft picks, with several more likely to join the ranks this June. The West Memorial Day figures to produce similar results thanks to the proximity to arguably the most talent rich hotbeds in the country; Southern California.
Tournament rosters include several players that have already made a name for themselves with the scouting community on a national level, with several more set to do the same this weekend. Perfect Game will provide a post-tournament top prospect list with scouting reports at the conclusion of the tournament next week.
Be sure to follow the tournament live online with real-time boxscores via GameChanger, daily scout blogs (insider subscription required) and on twitter at
for real time scouting information.

(Desert Ridge HS) could be a high pick in the 2013 draft thanks to his impressive switch hitting ability and quick athleticism. Unroe will team with Pepperdine commit
Jamie Westbrook
(Basha HS) for a highly talented double play combination.
But as is often the case with the WWBA World Championship tournament in Jupiter, we find that scout teams tend to underachieve as their goal is to showcase their players to scouts and get them reps against quality competition, rather than emphasizing winning in the short term. Whether or not they take home the hardware, the Dbacks will be fun to watch.
Dark Horse:
Nogales Roadrunners
The Roadrunners don't always get as much attention from scouts as they should. This is largely due to the fact that the team that is based out of Nogales, a town that straddles the US-Mexico border recruits talented players from Mexico. This area is something of an in-between location for scouting departments, as southern Arizona where most of the Roadrunners players hail from are the responsibility of the four corners area scouts, while the players from Mexico fall under the International scouting department's responsibilities.
This team took third place at the 2012 MLK Championship in January in spite of featuring a lineup that consists primarily of underclassmen. While the age difference is a disadvantage, the Roadrunners feature a lot of talent and have played together enough to overcome the age disadvantage.
All-Star Baseball Academy 18u also looks strong on paper, but the defending champs don't really fit the description of a darkhorse.
Marquee Matchup:
AZ Dbacks Elite Scout Team vs So Cal Elite, Friday May 25, 7:30 PM, Goodyear Complex
The favorite on paper sends their top two pitching prospects (Rackoski, Castellani) to the hill to split up the large task of trying to shut down the strong So Cal Elite lineup.
2012 16U WWBA West Memorial Day Classic
Pre-tourney favorite:
Tucson Ballerz
The Ballerz made some noise at the 2012 PG MLK Championship in January, earning the No. 1 seed in the tournament before being upset in the semifinals. 2014 C
Lazaro Nunez
(Tucson, AZ) was a huge part of that success for the Ballerz, hitting .455 with 5 Runs and 6 RBIs in their four game run, and he will be counted on again this weekend to play a major role both at the plate and behind it defensively.
Dark Horse:
Playa Vista Orioles
The Orioles from Southern California drew a tough pool, landing with the Arizona Prowlers, one of the stronger teams in Arizona, especially at the younger ages. The Prowlers dominated at PG tournaments in the Phoenix area last season, suggesting that the Orioles will be fighting an uphill battle. But the roster composed of players who just finished their season of playing against the highest level of high school baseball in the nation in Southern California should be well prepared.
Marquee Matchup:
AZ Prowlers vs Playa Vista Orioles, Sunday May 27, 1:00 PM, Goodyear Complex
The final game of pool play is likely to have playoff implications, and the matchup of what appear to be two of the top teams in the field (both of whom could make a case as the Pre-tourney favorite) has the potential to be the most exciting game of pool play in the 16u division.
2012 14U WWBA West Memorial Day Classic
Pre-tourney favorite:
SoCal National Travel Team
The job that Scott Luke and his coaches have done over the past decade of finding and assembling highly talented rosters year in and year out is very impressive. Typically SoCal NTT has a very national flavor, drawing together players from all over the country, but this weekend the roster will be built primarily upon players from Southern California.
Dark Horse:
So Cal Bombers
The Bombers have an especially young roster, comprised of 2016 and a few 2017 grads. Without a single player who has begun his high school career the Bombers appear to be at a disadvantage on paper. But their talent level gives them a chance to surprise.

Sometimes your desire for your mate can decline and your sex drive declines right along with it. Here's how to raise a low libido.
Sexual pleasure isn't always as straightforward and simple as one might desire. Great sex doesn't necessarily happen overnight, and for many couples, sexual pleasure can ebb and flow throughout their relationship. At times, your sex life might be hot and heavy, but at other times, you might feel disconnected from your partner and may find yourself experiencing low sex drive. In fact, some partners even experience a lack of attraction to their mates, and as troubling as that can be, you can reclaim your sexual sparks once again.
Why does low libido due to lack of attraction happen?
Your partner used to spark butterflies and feelings of intense sexual attraction, but now you feel disconnected and uninspired in the bedroom. Why did this occur and does it mean your relationship is doomed?
No. Many couples experience a decline of sexual attraction over the years, especially if they do not take care to preserve their sexual relationship and if they don't take care to maintain and nourish their sexual connection. Sexual connection can be ongoing and powerful throughout the decades, but only if you take steps to make your relationship a priority.
Sadly, for many couples, real life can often get in the way of their sexual connection and cause a low sex drive. Those early days of romantic dinners and tender embraces are replaced by long days at work and screaming kids, and instead of feeling attracted and desirable, you feel like you and your partner are simply platonic roommates working to keep the house in order. Not exactly sexy! No wonder so many couples struggle to feel sexually connected at times.
Getting the passion back in your relationship…
The good news is you can reclaim your passion once again.
Do a reality check of symptoms. First, take some time to assess your relationship and figure out where things are off-kilter. For example, maybe you let the kids sleep in your bed every night or maybe you haven't had a date night since before your big promotion six months ago. Whatever the case, find ways to reprioritize and make time for your relationship once again. People with wonderful relationships and great sex lives don't have some secret key — they simply put the time and effort into maintaining their love and making their sex life a priority.
Become lovers again. Find ways to bring back that sexual spark by ditching the "roommates" routine. Your partner is supposed to be your lover, so put some effort back into seducing him and reawakening his sexual desire. If you haven't been taking care of yourself physically, get back into the habit of exercising, eating right, or just breaking out your naughtiest lingerie even on a regular Tuesday night. The key is to get back in the habit of treating each other as desirable and attractive mates, not just as "Mommy" and "Daddy."
Talk about what is going on. Talking about sex isn't always easy, but it can be the most powerful and transformative thing you can do for your sexual pleasure and desire. You might even consider seeing a sex therapist to help you get things back on track (visit the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists Web site to find one in your area). Talking to a therapist doesn't mean that your relationship is "broken" or that there is something wrong with your bond, it means that you are committing to putting each other first and to improving your relationship inside and outside the bedroom.
With commitment like that, you are sure to get the sparks firing once again. Remember, great sex takes a little effort, but it's worth it!

Petite Lace A-line Gown with Side Split Style 7YP3344
I went in for my bridal appointment with no intention of trying on a fit and flare gown. I had been told at my first appointment at another bridal salon A-line was best for my body type because Im curvy and quite top heavy...boy was that girl wrong! The consultant at Davids Bridal put me in this and I immediately loved it! It gives my body a beautiful shape and really is super flattering. Im so glad my consultant encouraged me to step out of my box and Im SO EXCITED I get to wear this gorgeous gown down the aisle in August.
February 11, 2013
Sheer elegence
Before I went to davids bridal I had a completely different dress in mind. After I tried on the dress that I thought would be the one looked like a complete diaster. 2 weeks later I went back to david's bridal and as I walking through the isles this dress caught my eye and I had to try it on. As soon as I stepped out of the dressing room and looked in the mirror my wedding day popped right into my head. I knew at that moment this was the dress. Its light and very comfortable and for being a little curvy it compliments me in all the right ways!
January 29, 2013
best purchase ever!
I bought this dress a few months ago and knew it was my dress the moment I tried it on. It is so beautiful and the lace is so vintage like. I love it.
January 4, 2013
Dream dress!
I had tried this on during my first visit at David's for bridal dresses. It was the last one of 10 that I tried on and I am so glad that I did! I had seen it in one of the catalogs and asked the consultant to throw it in the mix just for fun. I could not believe how beautiful and romantic this dress was once I had it on. The pictures do it no justice. I didn't realize how slimming a wedding dress could be until this corseted fit and flare came along! It is so figure flattering, especially for my body type, I am short and a little curvy. I knew this was the dress for me and had to have it. I choose the ivory, and had to order the petite size considering I am barely 5', so the pictures I posted show me in the regular size, drowning. The petite size fit me perfectly! My DREAM dress, it is so beautiful, so detailed with the beading and the lace, and I can't wait to wear it for my June wedding! =) TRY THIS ONE ON!

I really thought that Bob Castellini was going to be a great owner. I think that he wants to own a winner, but has no idea of how to go about doing so.
I really thought that Bob Castellini was going to be a great owner. I think that he wants to own a winner, but has no idea of how to go about doing so.
Easy one for me. Jay Bruce at this stage in his very young career.
Subject to change, Cmon Jay, stop paying attention to your hitting instructors and get back to what you were doing after you are well.
Oh yeah and Castellini, because "hope", hope will turn around and bite one almost everytime when it has nothing to back it up.
Hmmm, tough one here. I don't recall...ugh...oh got one.
I was wrong about Danny Herrera making it this far being this productive. I still don't think he has a long shelf life but he has done better this year than I suspected.
I was wrong about Harang having dropped off stuff wise. I saw his issues last year and hoped/figured it was just a health oriented issue (so I argued it that way, not wanting to believe it). I figured it would resolve itself with rest in the offseason. He's still better though than people make him out to be but he's definitely not the Harang of old.
I was wrong about Bruce having an MVP like season. After reading an article around late in spring training I believed he was gonna have one. He said everything correctly in that interview about what he needed to do to be succesful at the plate. The problem I didn't expect was him not following his own advice. He needs to learn to discipline his behavior at the plate and once that happens he'll be all we hoped for. I also didn't seeing him being such a good RF so soon during the offseason. He had a bad defensive year last season and although his arm was good I didn't see it as great but he has turned me around on both of those issues, his defense was both stellar and critical to the team this year. A healthy and disciplined Jay Bruce next year goes a real long way to being where we hoped we could be this year. A lot of guys are down on him right now but I haven't budged an iota (in fact I have gotten higher on him) he's gonna be spectacular better sign him long term right now.
Everything else I feel pretty good about in fact I am thinking of starting a thread where some can gloat about what they were right about, we need a feel good thread. But we all know how that would turn out. Maybe we should do it anyway.

I was wrong about Jay Bruce being the team MVP.
But I was right about everything else. So that is a better winning percentage then this organization has ever seen!
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
Oh I would add Burton to that mix as well but I'm just not ready to give up on him yet. I' hoping he bounces back, guys in the pen do have some strange years. Look at Brad Lidges last several years from Hero to Goat to world beater and back to goat again.

"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
I was wrong about the number of wins....I thought they would break .500 this year...
Of course, they played above .500 ball till the 4th of July, then fell off the cliff. As today's Baseball Prospectus Hit List says:
Of course, besides blaming Dusty, there have been a lot of injuries this year, a disproportionate number.Two-Sixty-Eight: That's the Reds' winning percentage since July 4, the last day they were over .500; they're 11-30 since then, and the nightmares just get worse thanks to Dusty Baker's push-button managing.
"I think he'd be unbelievable. He's as organized as anyone in the game, he holds people accountable... He doesn't buy into stereotypical things in the game... Price looks at evidence. He's a freaking smart guy, he makes his decision on reasonable evidence." Bronson Arroyo
Shoot all we have to do is go cynical or negative on most and we will have a high percentage of being right with this organization, and that stinks.
I would like to think that none of us want to be right about the negatives.
Fess up GAC, you know you were wrong about Dusty, that he is actually a very fine manager.
I was wrong about this team being willing to do whatever it needs to win. That rests squarely on the shoulders of one Robert Castellini.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Cincinnati Bengals - None
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
Edwin - he never clicked.
Bruce - not the phenom I thought
Alex Gonzalez - thought he would be half decent
Dusty Baker - even worse than I feared.
and so many more.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
Damn, this is cleansing.
I was wrong in thinking that Jay Bruce would have spent the off-season studying up on the hole in his swing and address it and take a leap this year.
Guess. Not.
I was wrong about Nick Masset, I thought he was a bum.
I was wrong about Herrera. I was worried about him early in the season when he had trouble getting guys out (I was at one of his early games and he didn't pitch well at all) but he's been about as close to nails as you can get for the majority of the season. I was also wrong about Lincoln who I thought would be really good for the bullpen this year. That one definitely turned out wrong. *smacks head*
On the other side though, I was totally right that Joey Votto would be a star this year. Go me, LOL
"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldnt do. I cant skate or play hockey, Votto said. Well, I can skate ... but I cant stop.
I was wrong about Brook Jacoby. I thought the time he spent with Rudy Jaramillo would have taught him something. I was dead wrong.
Cedric 3/24/08It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...
I was wrong about Edwin Encarnacion and Micah Owings. I thought EdE would have a break out season and post an .875+ OPS. I also thought Micah Owings will have a solid season and develop into a middle of rotation starter. I was wrong.
Also, Nick Masset has pitched better than I thought he would.
I miss Adam Dunn.

Perrier-Jouet x Makoto Azuma - This is probably the match made in heaven as both the brand and the artist embraces floral motifs as their artistry. The suspended floral arrangements somehow transcends these flowers into poetry and a visual fantasy. Rarely do you see such synergetic collaborations between brands and artist because normally the artist are just hired for merely a publicity stunt. I applaud Perrier-Jouet for having such a vision for this amazing collaboration and once again Azuma has never ceased to amaze me with his work.

Steve McCurry Will Be the 2013 Pirelli Calendar Photographer This is probably the first time that a documentary photographer in recent years is hired to shoot the most coveted and talked about calendar in the world. In the past years, it has been a very predictable progression of your A-list fashion photographers and even fashion designer such a Karl Lagerfeld shooting for the calendar. But now Steve McCurry?!? This will definitely be an interesting take on the calendar since over the years we have been bombarded by so much TnA that it almost seems like a softcore calendar with no limitations. How will McCurry redefine the calendar and bring on sexy chic to the audience that is expecting a lot of skin? We shall soon find out. steve McCurry pirelli calendar karl lagerfeld photography
Jim Goldberg x Dazed and Confused - seeing these images this morning truly put a smile on my face. Rarely do you see the mix of fine art/documentary photography in fashion these days, it has diminished faster than film it seems. I truly feel that it was the last 90s and the early 00s that fashion photography was at its "modern" renaissance. A lot of ideas from fine art/design were incorporated and it seemed like there was no stopping this trend for a while. Iconic photographers like Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Larry Sultan, Cindy Sherman and Nan Golden were all revered within the industry. Those were the days I miss the most. Fine art photographers were shooting fashion and fashion photographers were trying their best to create images that were worthy enough on a gallery wall. It was that synergy and the cross pollination of different genres that made photography so interesting and dynamic for a while. Now the walls are built again and everybody is back on their side of the fence once again it seems. However, with this being said I haven't seen any editors do anything different, but this editorial sure made my statement look stupid. Of course it could be more "Jim-esque", but honestly I think it a happy balance between the "Jim look", "Dazed and Confused look" and fashion. The British fashion magazines always take the forefront of different concepts into fashion magazine, but rarely get the limelight that they deserve from the general public. Shout out to Dazed and Confused and the editors who are willing to risk it for an ideal and not bow down to commercialism.

Pentax K-01 Launch - This is probably one of the most high profile camera launches in a while to take place, but the irony behind it all is that it's not your usual geeky photography crowd in the mix. Basically this party is a mix of the A-list editors, fashion photographers and celebs at the street/fashion mecca Colette. Canon loves to market their share in the fashion world, while this time Pextax is directly hitting the consumers over the head by implementing in into the fashion crowd as this launch suggests. Hit or miss, we'll see with their sales of the K-01. Party Images penxtax marc newson k-01 Olivier Zahn
Pentax x Marc Newson - This is the first time that a camera manufacturer has teamed up a with an industrial designer to design their camera. As we are all aware of the various objects that Marc has worked on designing over the years, to design a camera seems to make sense in a linear progression. Personally I'm not too fond of this design even though I am a Newson supporter. It's more of a product rather than a camera I would say. However, in that segment that this particular camera is aimed at it does its job quite nicely. Most of the consumer market is driven by the notion of a product and lifestyle rather than the more technical side of things in the photographic world. I hope this will not be the first collaboration between industrial designers and camera manufacturers as this could create a new sort of potential synergy. marc newson pentax camera interview
Ciao Stefano! - Finally this day has come to an end. Stefano will depart from YSL. It has been a couple years that rumors has been spreading about this day, but things seemed ok up until this point. Personally I feel that Stefano is one of the least valued talents in the industry and deserves more attention. It was not too long ago in a documentary Anna Wintour was talking to Pilati like as if he was a student in her class. I'm sorry, but who is she to talk like that to a designer? After all she's just an editor with a lot of financial and political backing. Well I guess sometimes the best things don't happen to the best people. If Jean Paul Gautier is never featured or talked about in any media or press these days, I guess Stefano Pilati can't complain too much. Anyhow hope this departure will lead him to land a better job elsewhere where his talent may been seen once again. For now we are behind you Stefano, cheers. Stefano Pilati YSL departure

Jil Sander is BACK! - The news of the return of Jil Sander at her own label came out this morning and a whole lot of mixed emotions came out (excitement, joy, relief and disbelief). To be honest I was shocked at the fact that Raf Simons was leaving Jil Sander the day that the news was announced. I was seriously wondering who could take over the brand that actually understood her aesthetics. Finally this day has come once again and I do believe that this is the best move that the Prada group has made in a while. The group is not doing well and it's about time to do the right thing: returning Jil to Jil Sander. I felt her collabo with Uniqlo was simply a revolution for her own design aesthetics, I felt that with +J she actually explored and had fun with the collections. Now that Jil is back to the throne, we will once again witness her creative talents and the rise of the minimalist look that I have come to love. Look out Phoebe Philo a new contender is in town! *let's keep our fingers crossed that she is here to stay at her own label this time… jil sander prada group phoebe philo +j uniqlo Raf Simons

Roy Halladay's Son Texted Him After Last Night's Ugly Loss and It Will Make Your Heart Warm and Sad
Apr 9, 2013, 10:31 AM EST
Roy Halladay got rocked yet again last night in the Phillies loss to the New York Mets in front of the smallest crowd Citizens Bank Park has seen in years. After the game, Halladay had a text waiting for him from his 12-year-old son.
From Jim Salisbury's story about Halladay opening up a bit to reporters following the game:
But after failing to get an out in the fifth inning and seeing his ERA
rise to an unsightly 14.73, Halladay briefly took reporters to a hidden
place. He revealed that he received a text from his oldest son,
12-year-old Braden, moments after the game ended.
"I got a text from my son saying I am his hero," Halladay said. "It meant a lot."
Halladay goes on to say that he believes his issues are 95% mental, which I think should be somewhat encouraging to Phillies fans. If there's a player in baseball who can fix an issue in his head, you'd think it could be Roy Halladay.
Do you think Halladay will turn things around and turn back into an effective pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies this season? I think it's safe to say he has a whole lot of people pulling for him.

D-Link Boxee Box
Price Range: $167.00 - $238.99
CNET Editors' Rating: 3.0 / 5
The good: Attractive user interface; two-sided RF remote includes a QWERTY keyboard; quirky cubelike design; built-in browser that can play Flash video; apps currently include Pandora and MLB.TV; extensive codec support for local content.
The bad: Basic apps like Netflix, Vudu, and Hulu Plus are promised soon, but not available yet; content holders like Hulu are blocking Boxee's browser; double-sided remote has an assortment of usability issues; Boxee's online TV show data is frequently outdated and incomplete; virtually no popular movies available; unorthodox design may not fit in small home theater cabinets; can't be controlled by standard IR universal remote; can't connect to older, non-HDMI TVs.
The bottom line: The Boxee Box by D-Link has some innovative design choices and a promising user interface, but mainstream content is mostly missing in action until future firmware updates are available.
Design, Features & Performance (out of 10)
Design: 6.0
Features: 6.0
Performance: 7.0
Editors' note: This is an abridged review of the Boxee Box, as much of its functionality, including Netflix, Vudu, and Hulu Plus, is promised in future firmware updates. We'll re-evaluate the Boxee Box by D-Link after those updates have been added (at which time the rating may change).
Boxee got a head start on the Internet TV revolution, with many users becoming familiar with the open-source media-streaming platform because it was an easy way to add functionality to their first-gen Apple TVs (albeit through an unauthorized hack). But despite that head start, the finally released Boxee Box by D-Link is already playing catch-up in a product category crowded by Apple TV, Google TV, Roku, connected Blu-ray players, and game consoles.
Though it has an attractive user interface and supports playback of almost any kind of digital media file, it currently lacks popular streaming-media services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Vudu--all of which Boxee says are coming soon. Boxee also does a decent job of trying to collate all of the free video content available online, but the information is often outdated or inaccurate. There's no doubt that the Boxee Box has potential, and the company is promising many of the updates before the end of the year, but until then, buyers should hold off until Boxee catches up with the competition.
The Boxee Box's box
The Boxee Box's exterior design is like no other home theater gadget we've seen. It's designed to look like a cube, but one of the corners is chopped off, so it gives the impression that it's sinking into your TV cabinet. Its glowing green Boxee logo and sharp, protruding edges give it a geek-chic charm that's great for those who like to show off their tech, but those same qualities will make it appear garish to those who want their tech to blend in. There's no denying that it's eye-catching (you'll get a lot of "What is that?"), but its relatively tall height (4.6 inches) and "unstackability" make it less practical for cramped home theater spaces.
The ports are located around back, including HDMI, and analog and optical digital audio outputs. (There are no analog video outputs for those with older TVs.) Two USB ports are available on the back, too, for connecting a portable hard drive full of content. There's an Ethernet port, but also built-in 802.11N Wi-Fi, so you won't need Ethernet connectivity in your living room.
Double-sided remote
The included remote feels almost as convention-breaking as the Boxee's cubelike cabinet. Though the front side is pretty standard, with a directional pad, play/pause button, and a menu button, the back has a full QWERTY keyboard, to take the tedium out of entering search phrases onscreen.
The remote design seems genius at first, but it loses a lot of its luster in real-world use. All but one of the keyboard buttons are the same size and aligned in a grid, which means critical buttons like Enter, Menu, and Delete aren't easy to see at a glance. The lettering on the keyboard buttons is also a relatively dark shade of gray, which makes it difficult to see a darkened home theater. Backlighting would be great, but glow-in-the-dark or even just white lettering would make a big difference.
The remote's symmetrical design also makes it much too easy to pick up the wrong way; its double-sided design led us to accidentally press the front-side buttons while using the keyboard. The keyboard nicely gets around the problem of text input, but the Boxee Box doesn't have a similar solution for onscreen cursor control, which is needed for navigating Web sites. Instead, you have to use the directional pad, which is imprecise and slow; a minitrackpad like that found on many cell phones would be welcome here. The remote is RF-based, instead of IR, so it doesn't need line-of-sight for operation. That's great, but it also means the Boxee Box can't be controlled by a standard universal remote, like a Harmony.
That's a lot of criticism for a remote that includes some inspired design choices, but there's enough off about it that it can sometimes feel like a chore to use. The wireless keyboard included with the Logitech Revue has a much larger footprint, but at least we can fly around Google TV with its multifaceted control scheme.
Streaming content
The home page displays six main icons, the majority of which are focused on streaming content off the Web. The last icon, Files, is for accessing your personal media collection.
Shows and Movies are similar, allowing you to browse cover art for content that Boxee has found online. The list of TV shows seems decent at first glance, including shows like "How I Met Your Mother," "The Daily Show," and "The Colbert Report," but it's ultimately disappointing. Boxee's data was often inaccurate, not showing the most recent available episode or not showing all the episodes that are available on the Web site. Some shows had virtually no content, despite having a cover art image. We'd get excited when we saw the cover art for "MythBusters," then disappointed when we clicked through to the only thing available, which is a 4-minute "Tipsy vs. Tired Aftershow" clip. The selection of movies is even worse, with very few titles we've ever heard of before.
When you do select a show, Boxee brings up the browser, and you'll have to navigate the page using the remote to do things like make the video show full screen. The other issue is that Hulu and some major TV networks are already blocking the Boxee browser, like they've done to Google TV. So though there may be some decent content now, there's no guarantee those content partners won't block Boxee in the future.
The lack of "free" content wouldn't be quite so frustrating if there were solid premium options available. These would typically be listed under the Apps section, but, as mentioned above, major apps like Netflix, Vudu, and Hulu Plus are not available yet, although Boxee says they're coming soon. There are some good apps available, like Pandora (free) and MLB.TV (paid subscription required), plus tons of video podcasts, but it's not enough to make up for what's missing.
Though Boxee may lag behind competitors in online media services, it fares much better when it comes to playing back your own media collections. Its file format support is very extensive, including enthusiast-friendly formats like DivX, MKV, and FLAC. If you're primarily looking to stream your own content, the Boxee Box is an attractive option, although it's relatively expensive compared with other options like the WD TV Live Plus.

Pros: Plays every type of video under the sun. Easy to use, elegant interface. RF remote has a built in keyboard that makes searching for video much easier.
Cons: Web content being blocked by 3rd party providers, so not all web video is playable. Every now and then it needs a reboot, but even my cable box needs that. I wish the remote was back lit but otherwise works well.
Summary: Simple, elegant and easy to use. Updates come often and the developers really listen to the customer. I've tried all the other streamers and not a one comes close. If you're looking for a way to stream content from your computer or NAS, this box is great. The web video isn't quite what I had hoped, but I'd rather watch downloaded movies anyway. If I want to watch TV show's I'll record them on my TiVo.
Boxee - ALMOST there....

Pros: Easy to setup. The repositories and Boxee forums. Great remote and function. Fantastic idea to get away from your PC/Laptop or gaming system tapping into your TV
Cons: Not enough broadcaster support. Loss of HULU. Wireless streaming can be glichy. Needs to lean towards a wider market, this is mostly for 'techies'
Summary: As with all technology you have to determine what you're trying to accomplish to find the product you want. I was looking to 'beat the man' after being tired of dealing with the cable and satellite companies. I wanted streaming; or IPTV; service with access to College and NFL games. Boxee is close to providing this, but lacks the support of broadcasters. In a disappointing turn, they lost access to Hulu. They have TV shows and movies through Vudu, but the shows cost per episode and the movies are disappointingly expensive. Some shows are 'free' if you agree to watch commericals, but this loads in a web page. There is a 'full screen' option that's cool, but when the stream stopped, I had to drag the navigation bar to the point closest to where the stream died, it was a bit clunky. The only way to watch College and NFL games is through Justin.tv; which worked great, but I was taken back by the flashing red banner stating the game I was watching was about to be taken off line by the NFL due to copyright violations. There aren't really any parental controls either. The only control is to prohibit adult titles from being displayed, which is a very NICE parental control; but I'd like to have more flexibility in determining what is before my families eyes. Using NAVI-X opens many more doors into the rhelm of movies, TV shows and the like, but again I'm pretty sure this content isn't supposed to be online and there is no way to filter what's coming through once you make a selection.
I'm not trying to come across like Ned Flanders or anything; just trying to inform you if you're looking for an alternative to cable and satellite TV with similar filtering of what's coming into your house AND you want your football; I'm afraid Boxee isn't for you.
What Boxee does best is what it's intended for; which is to free up your PC/Laptop or gaming system and allow you to 'sling' your ripped DVD/Music collection to your TV.
Boxee is so close to being a great product with a huge market, if they could just get to the broadcasting companies and get more sports packages, even if you had to pay for those services - I think D-Link and Boxee would be vaulted way ahead of Appletv and Ruku.
Let's face it, we're all tired of the cable and satellite TV companies raising our rates, charging us for 'HD' services and not giving us the flexibility to watch what we want to watch. Would someone please come up with an affordable ala-carte IP based service?
Boxee is a great product, just be sure you understand the intent of the developers.
It Should do more for the money ,but still impressive

Pros: -sleek design,unique all around,awesome double sided remote,it plays almost everything.
-cool interface,compact,tons of content,half decent web browser,constantly improving content.
-the future of how media is watched and your friends will love it.
Cons: -lots of issues when browsing the web can be found every,remote needs back light,
-needs actual apps,the mouse pointer plain sucks.some flv videos wont have sound.
-fast but not fast enough,needs playlist and shuffle,list take log to load thumbnails.
Summary: I spent $250 for this. its worth about $150.it looks very cool it operates very cool,its some what fast but its not fast enough to make you want to cut your cable,third party sources can control what content you view wich sucks but theres still tons of it and a fun and easy way to view it.to many issues with the web browser to make it an replacement for a p.c.its still best media center by a long shot and an amazing way to play your local files of a hard disk but theres just a lot of little fustrations that work against the experience.
what it needs
-a better web browser,even though it improves.
-the mouse pointer for browsing the web is ridiculously clunky its a must fix.
-a back light in the remote.
-an easy way to make playlists with a shuffle function.
-something different than huge lists with long load times on thumbnails.
-actual apps instead of web page adaptations,
-an rca, and composite out . because your stupid friends have'nt bought a flat screen with hdmi.
-its practicaly a web book, let me use it like one.i want games and programs to install and files to save.
-more customizeation.
-it wont play sound on a lot of streaming content,and micosoft silverlight content wont play at all.
-you could get an xbox 360 for just a little more.except no web browsing and alot of files wont play.
waste of time...FRUSTRATING!

Pros: remote...great for searching
Cons: constant buffering

loading time
shut down delay
spontaneous exit from videos
Summary: user friendly remote and design mean nothing when you're working with a worthless product...so much frustration from such a tiny box. Not sure I've had a single positive experience with my Boxee. COMPLETE CRAP!
This is the best Media Streaming device on the market.

Pros: Plays all formats!!
Lot's of apps
Netflix, Vudu, Vevo, Youtube Leanback and more
Facebook integration (optional)
Live TV Adapter for FTA HD shows provided by Boxee Box.
Connect Hard Disks for local content
"watch later" plugin for browsers
Cons: Occasionally needs rebooting
Many TV shows streamed from Network sites need to be full screened manually
Summary: I have tried a lot of media streaming devices, from Apple TV to Playstation 3, etc. The Boxee Box is the ONLY device that at the end of the day does what I want it to do.. stream content from my TV, play my netflix and youtube content, and do it well! My experience with competing solutions has left me wishing I had a Boxee in every case. If your entire world consists of Apple products, I am sure that Apple TV might work for you better, but if like me you are not, I would recommend Boxee Box anyday.
