Sound quality on my MCR603 and BX2's
I bought a Marantz MCR603 and some Monitor Audio BX2 speakers which are mounted on Atacama Nexus speaker stands (filled with Atacama Atabites and have the additional Mass loading plates), connected with Audioquest FLX-Slip 14/4 speaker cable with decent quality banana plugs to the amp and spades to the speakers (not bi-wired as What HIFI recommend for the BX2's) all of which get 5 star reviews and excellent reviews off everyone that seems to have this system.
These are to replace my aging (1999) TEAC Reference 600 and Kef Q35.2 system while also saving some space.
However, the sound quality seems to be no-where near the sound from my aging Teac/Kef system and closer to an old Sony £200 quid job in the spare bedroom!!
Any ideas???
Hi Chris, and welcome.
Can you try to say in what way the sq is 'no way near'?
Distorted, bright, glaring, harsh, muffled, boomy, opaque? The descriptive words are endless!
If I guess it sounds a bit harsh and glary would I be right? If so, then remember that these speakers in particular need a lot of running in according to the mag. Some say that is bunk. But try putting something on continuously, as loud as you can leave, and go out for the day. Then tell us what it sounds like when you come back.
I'm assuming you haven't got something electrical causing gremlins, like a router nearby, or homeplugs pumping garbage into the mains?
Hi Chris, I have the BX2s as well, and something I've noticed - they like the volume pumped up a bit. On my lowly Arcam system - a 1db volume difference is all there is between merely average and excellent audio. But therein lies the rub as well - they seem to be bass fiends and after a while I get a headache. They're undoubtedly good speakers, but maybe audition the Boston Acoustics A26? WHF seems to think it goes well with your Marantz.
Hi Nopiano,
No theres nothing electrical interfering.
The system just seems to lack clarity, quite muddy and the bass boomy if it continues I may try out some kef Q100's. I just don't understand it because everyone (what HI FI and users) seem to say the BX2's have excellent clarity and the MCR603 produces excellent sound too.
mcr 603 is a stunning sounding system it works well with warfadale dimound speakers
Not much more I can suggest, but manicm mentions the bass too. Might be something that would improve with trial and error in positioning speakers - further away from walls, for example. And toed-in towards your seat, to be sure you are getting everything from the tweeter.
Good luck!
Sorry if I'm stating the obvious here, but did you try your set-up in another room as well? E.g. in a room with laminate if your current room is carpeted or vice versa. Or maybe it's just run-in which the BX2 require?
oops double post.
They are in the same room and same place as my previous Teac/Kef system but don't have anywhere near the sound quality I had whith that system. Some instruments seem to have vanished from some music completely?
I'll give the BX2's a couple of weeks to see if the running in really does make a difference although I don't see how it can make as much difference as is currently needed.
i dont find the bx2 musical at all.

There is obviously something badly wrong if whole instuments appear to have AWOL.
Take it all back whilst you still can and get a refund or an exchange for a system you like and that works properly.
Running in speakers won't make missing instruments come back.
I know it sounds daft but you have wired up the speakers correctly; havent you?! It's an easy mistake to make!
I havr the CFR603 with MA RX2's and the sound is astonishing! The BX2's are good speakers and stand well within their grouping and gel very well with the CR603 so it seems weird that the music isnt sounding good at all with the way you've got it set up
Have you played around with the settings (i.e. bass, treble, loudness, balance etc...) Does that make any difference at all?
Yes the speakers are definitely wired up correctly.
When I firsrt got my Teac/Kef system, whole instruments suddenly appeared (or certainly seemed to stand out a lot more)in music I had listened to for years....well now they have disappeared/degraded again. Nothing wrong with the sytem it probably sounds good to others. I just thought it would at least equal my old system with advances in technology and speaker development, coupled with the reviews....but sadly so far its not even close.
Might hook up my Kef q35.2's and see how it sounds with them. If they make a big difference then I'll have took at alternatives.
Was going to say, why don't you try it woth your old KEFs if they're still working.
I'd put my money on it just being the speakers that aren't suiting your taste/expectations/room accoustics/etc. I don't think there'll be such a massive performance difference with the electronics, it must be the speakers.
i dont find the bx2 musical at all.
I tend to agree with you. On the surface they appear to do everything right - clarity, bass, speed, decently transparent - but they don't seem very musical. Maybe I should give them more run-in time.

Getty ImagesTwo years ago we wrote about Kim Kardashian, wondering why she was famous, and why she was already acting like a diva. Since then, she has led her family further into the spotlight, largely by way of their reality show. First Kim received loads of attention over her sex tape, and then, not to be left out, her sisters Khloe and Kourtney put their marriage and pregnancy on prominent display. While they all co-own a business, Kim has been more determined than ever to legitimize her presence in the fashion industry, and capitalize her her fame.
Kim Kardashian perfume and Korcula necklaceFirst Kim Kardashian introduced a fragrance, which seemed innocent enough since every celeb on the planet now has their own perfume. But her double-K logo was stolen from a Houston jeweler called Korcula. The company's creator, Lindley Bertin, sent Kardashian a gold necklace bearing their own logo, a gold double-K symbol, as a gift back in 2008 since she thought Kim would enjoy a pendant displaying her initials. Kim was photographed wearing the necklace. But she liked Korcula's double-K so much, she decided to use the logo as her own on her perfume bottles. She even filled up gift bags with double-K swag at the Bebe/Kardashian fashion show last week. Now there is a pending lawsuit. How did Kim think she'd get away with copying someone else's work?
Wenn and AP via Coco PerezOh. Speaking of copying. You know that dress Kim wore to her fashion show that was part of the new Bebe/Kardashian line? Well, she stole that idea too. Look at the images on the right--the one with the brown leather was seen as part of Fendi's Fall 2009 collection. Kardashian ripped off the corset and the hood, making a very similar garment. Kim took to her blog to try to talk her way out of this one. She writes:
I've seen some talk online about certain pieces 'knocking off' other designer's pieces and I'd like to share a little piece of fashion wisdom… the clothes you see in the chain stores at your mall are all inspired by designer, runway fashion!!! What stores like Bebe do is take runway fashion and use it as inspiration to create pieces that are wearable and accessible for everyone. To say any of our pieces are a knock off is like saying every item in every clothing store in your mall is a knock off.
Actually, no they're not. Sure, many designers and stores may replicate items, like, say, a leopard print top. But copying very distinctive, unique details like adding a hood to a dress, or a leather corset is not only unoriginal, it's a knock off. That's not using inspiration, that's stealing! And if Bebe, or Steve Madden, or Urban Outfitters, or anyone makes a direct copy like that, they get in trouble for it.
What we really can't seem to understand is if you're going to copy logos and designs and pretend they are your own, why even bother being a designer at all? It almost seems unfair, given all the talented people who try to make it as a designer. And the experts agree with us! When fashion consultant/Project Runway star, Tim Gunn, was asked if he supported Kardashian's Bebe line, he had one word to say: "No!" Gunn added, "I just think the Kardashians have an absence of taste and I don't think that that should be perpetuated. I'm sorry I'm sounding like an old farty snob but it bothers me." Tim, you don't sound like a farty snob, you sound like the voice of reason.
What do you think of Kim Kardashian's presence in the fashion industry? Do you think she should keep on "designing" just because she can, or do you think her fragrance and clothing rip-offs should be the end of her fashion career? [Coco Perez][Coco Perez][Coco Perez][NY Mag]

Although his accomplishments as a businessman held their own, Randolph A. Hearst's life would forever be eclipsed publicly by the looming shadow of his media mogul father, William Randolph Hearst, and his daughter, Patty Hearst's abduction by the Symbionese Liberation Army. He and his twin brother, David, were born on December 2, 1915, in New York City, to Hearst and his wife,
"Well, I think what people want to know is whether we believe Patty is a member of the SLA or not. Personally, I don't believe it."
"We don't have any desire for revenge on anybody if she is returned unharmed."
Millicent. He followed the protocol of a dutiful heir, navigating the family business to success thought the 20th century.
Early Life and Career
Randolph Apperson Hearst and his twin brother, David, were born on December 2, 1915, in New York City, to newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst and his wife, Millicent, a former chorus girl, making five sons in the family. Apperson was the maiden name of his paternal grandmother, Phoebe Apperson Hearst, with whom he and his brothers spent summer months, at her California estate at Wyntoon, until her death in 1919.
Randolph first attended prep school, the Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, before moving on to Harvard University.
He entered the family business not long after graduation, working first at the Atlanta Georgian. Though the talent for journalism in the family lay with his second brother, William Randolph Jr. (who later won a Pulitzer Prize for journalism), Randolph did meet his wife there, Catherine Wood Campbell; they married in 1938 and together would have five daughters.
Hearst took a break from the family business to serve in World War I from 1942 to 1945, achieving the rank of captain in the U.S. Army Air Force, Air Transport Command. He went on to work at the San Francisco Call-Bulletin and the Oakland Post-Enquirer before becoming publisher. As the business his father built began faltering at mid-century, Hearst was involved in decisions to cut the failing arms and refocus efforts on television and magazines, helping guide the company to a thriving media empire, and, what was even more rare, a privately held one. In 1973, he was appointed chairman of the Hearst board.
Defining Moments
Primarily a quiet and unassuming man, Randolph A. Hearst was more comfortable tending to the business concerns of the company rather that the more flashy public stance his father took.
But on February 4, 1974, he was unwittingly thrust into the spotlight when his middle daughter, Patricia, 19, was abducted by the Symbionese Liberation Army. The series of violent and bizarre events that unfurled over the ensuing year were stressful and confusing. Hearst was constantly at the center of the melee, as the domestic terrorists issued ultimatums and dangled Patty's voice and fears for her safety as power plays. Holding him responsible as the figurehead of corporate America and an "enemy of the people," the SLA ultimately demanded Hearst feed the poor of California in trade for the heiress—an unwieldy and rather broad demand that he nevertheless tried to meet.
There was a particular irony to the demand, as his mother, Millicent Hearst, had established the Free Milk Fund for Babies in 1921, which provided free milk to New York City's poor for many decades, but it is unlikely the SLA was aware of this.

not that I know of. I never bothered hooking my Wii to the internet other than for Brawl.
You guys let this thread die, this badly? I'm shocked.
I have 2 questions..
1. Would you be able to live without music having already been exposed to a large amount?
2. You wake up in the morning on a perfect Saturday, and get a call from a girl you've been dying to get serious in bed with after countless months of talking, flirting, and kissing. She wants you to come over to her place for some hot loving, you arrive and make out together... to the moment when it finally happens, you nail her. A few weeks have gone by and you truly feel this woman could very well be the love of your life forever. Later that night you two begin to discuss your darkest secrets... you tell her yours, and she's surprised but loves you even more than ever.. and now it's her turn.
As surprising as it could ever be, you find out she's into the most kinkiest of things possible. She's had sex with her pets, played with a few rotten logs from the toilet, enjoys the occasional heavy bondage while on babysitting hours, loves being raped on Tuesdays, flirts with her father 2 days a week along with her 90-year old Grandmother, loves watching her brother crossdress and pretending to be a transsexual, she does not fail to also mention that she has her fair share of child pornography on her computer where she fantasizes of fisting young children, however due to strict laws she can only settle with midgets. She continues to go on and on.. the list, almost never ending.
You pause, how do you react, what are your feelings for this woman whom you wished to spend all life with?

1. I'd be able to live without it, but I wouldn't live very happily. Even if I'm in a happy mood, I can listen to a song and it'll make me feel even better. Music's a good motivator too, I'd be pretty down if one day it disappeared P:
2. Well I imagined this about a certain lass as I read through it, and all I can say is I'm speechless, Scott.
1. Id shoot myself, and sing as I go to hell.
2. I would slap her. Shove my **** down her throught, and see if shes ok with that.:Ι x2 If she is, Id leave her. If shes not Id slap her. :l

1. No, I'd start tapping stuff with my hands and humming if the worst came to worst.
2. Well, uhhhh, well. I think personally... I'd hang around some more. Depends on how she feels about me in particular. I don't want to just be another Fuck-Buddy of hers y'see... Yet I need that feeling of being loved and or desired. I would work for it though. Is my work not enough... Am I being selfish... A lot of love is selfish though. Am I not entitled to the same desire... Perhaps not. Beggars can't be choosers no...
My self-esteem is too low to just back away if I feel wanted. I would be too insecure about fulfilling those desires. I'd end up in a mental deadlock. Probably shut right down.
Look up Heroic BSOD.
On the other hand my inner-pervert would just love this girl. Do whatever shit she wanted. Provided she did some convincing roleplay.
It's not rape if there is consent you know!

In democracies, the most interesting politics are the kind you can describe with sports metaphors. That's even true when the big story is about technology. This is what we see in Molly Ivins' line, "the Internet is to politics what television was in the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon race".
Yet democracy isn't only about elections. It's also about governance. And that's where Linux and open source quietly have been making huge changes over the last year or so. Here's a list of four related initiatives that radically are changing the rules and methods of technology procurement and implementation in government:
The Open Source Software Institute (OSSI, oss-institute.org) is on a mission "to promote the development and implementation of open-source software solutions within US federal and state government agencies and academic entities".
OSSI is working on a US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) validation for OpenSSL, the robust, commercial-grade, full-featured and open-source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols (oss-institute.org/fips-faq.html).
Project Leopard (leopard.sourceforge.net) is an "eGovernment Web services platform based on LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python)". Project founder and Linux Journal contributor Tom Adelstein says Leopard is a huge time and hassle saver. "All you have to do is write to this module installer that we have. So, you basically can do the Web pages and database schema and you're done."
The Open Government Interoperability Project (ogip.org) produced Project Leopard and is working on the Open Government Interoperability Standard (OGIS), "an initiative to develop an open specification for ensuring that governments and administrative software applications work together more effectively".
"These efforts are still new", says Tom, "but already there is a rewarding sense that their implementation is inevitable. The cost is so low, and the rewards so high."
If you don't remember all the DNS RFCs, or if parts you should know slip your mind, use ZoneCheck to look over your name server zone files to see whether you've maintained your zone as the RFCs suggest. I had forgotten, for example, that the expire time must be seven times greater than the refresh. I had only four times on my zone when I checked. Some 105 different checks are applied. It can be run from the Web or the command line. Requires: Ruby, Ruby extensions yaml, exml and a Web server that supports CGI (optional).
Many years ago in college I had a completely programmable calculator. Last time I saw it, the calculator was covered with dust and I couldn't find a battery for it, so I started using spreadsheets. Now, it looks like I can have a calculator again whenever I want it, at least on the computer screen. Archimede has functions for nearly everything including financial calculations, trigonometric and math functions as well as calendar functions. Requires: libX11, libpthread, libdl and glibc.

We're going to immediately roll out the Java Desktop System to between a half million and a million desktops in 2004....It makes us instantaneously the No. 1 Linux desktop player on the planet.
—Scott McNealy, Business Standard (www.business-standard.com/ice/story.asp?Menu=119&story=29323)
Linux servers have demonstrated six consecutive quarters of year-on-year revenue growth, proving that they are not a flash-in-the-pan technology and that they are meeting real-world computing requirements in HPC and commercial deployments.
—Jean Bozman, IDC (www.askwebhosting.com/story/25/IDC_Linux_Server_Growth_is_Nearly_50_Percent_Year-Over-Year.html)
Future wide-scale implementations of Linux-based, mission-critical business applications may get less press, but they will continue to happen at all of the largest global financial institutions....Critical to this migration will be the ongoing support of the large hardware vendors, especially their ability to provide support tools and services for porting and new development. We believe that within the next 18–24 months, installing a Linux-based software package will become as normal as installing a Windows or Sun Solaris system.
—Damon Kovelsky, IDC (www.internetnews.com/ent-news/article.php/1559661)
There are no good excuses for binary modules. Some of them may be technically legal (by virtue of not being derived works) and allowed, but even when they are legal they are a major pain in the ass, and always horribly buggy.
I occasionally get a few complaints from vendors over my non-interest in even trying to help binary modules. Tough. It's a two-way street: if you don't help me, I don't help you. Binary-only modules do not help Linux, quite the reverse. As such, we should have no incentives to help make them any more common than they already are.
—Linus Torvalds, on the linux-kernel mailing list
Agata is a PHP application that runs directly in PHP, not in a Web server. Why? I have no idea, but it works. And, if you need something that resembles (so I'm told) Crystal Reports in Windows, take a look at Agata. It can be used against most SQL databases, although I tested it only against PostgreSQL. Agata is easy to install and run and is extremely flexible. It is also pretty and does graphs. Requires: PHP and php-gtk.
diff -u: What's New in Kernel Development
For several 2.6 test releases, Linus Torvalds had been hinting that a handoff to Andrew Morton was imminent. In fact, as of 2.6.0-test11, it's official. Andrew is now the 2.6 maintainer, even before the official 2.6.0 kernel is released. An interesting facet of this is that the 2.6.0 release is a major event, and Linus is giving Andrew the spotlight. This fits neatly with Linus' response to statements that he is indispensable. Linus always has maintained that he is "just another developer" and not the absolute focal point folks have made him out to be in the past. By stepping aside, Linus may be trying to minimize his public role.
In theory, the purpose of the stable kernel series is to approach true stability gradually. In practice, features from the ongoing development series are often back-ported to the stable series, after some testing. In some cases, the development work is done directly in the stable series, if the changes are isolated clearly and unlikely to cause problems outside of their own small realm. But in general, the ultimate aim of pure stability tends to grow stronger and stronger. And now, with the handoff of the 2.6 tree to Andrew Morton, Marcelo Tossatti has decided to clamp down on new features going into the 2.4 tree, and aside from a few possible exceptions like XFS support, 2.4 quickly is becoming a "bug-fix and security-fix only" tree.
Pontus Fuchs is working on what to some might seem a radical concept. He is attempting to get certain Microsoft Windows drivers to work with the Linux kernel. Considering that the drivers were written for a completely different operating system, he's actually had a surprising amount of success with this project. Specifically, certain wireless LAN cards have no published specifications or Linux drivers, either free software or binary-only. So far, he's been able to use his Broadcom 4301 successfully, and Pavel Machek has gotten a Broadcom 94306 working as well.
Carl-Daniel Hailfinger, Manfred Spraul and Andrew de Quincey have reverse engineered the nvnet driver for the NVIDIA nForce MCP Ethernet adapter and written their own GPLed driver. Actually, to preserve a clean-room development environment that would preclude the possibility that any part of NVIDIA's driver would be copied into their GPLed version, Carl-Daniel and Andrew did the reverse engineering and documented the hardware, while Manfred wrote the new driver from their specifications. In this way, Manfred was guaranteed to have no direct knowledge of the internals of the original driver. Reverse engineering is a time-honored computer-science technique to achieve interoperability, although there is a strong movement to make certain kinds of reverse engineering illegal in many countries. The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is an example of legislation that attempts to control reverse engineering, but what its true impact will be is still being hashed out in the courts.
Some signal handling behavior has changed between kernel 2.4 and 2.6. Typically, there are some signals (called thread-synchronous signals) that threads are unable to block. In the 2.4 kernel, a thread attempting to block one of these signals would fail, and the signal would come through anyway. This is not necessarily the most desirable behavior, because there is no legitimate reason for a thread to try to block one of these unblockable signals. In the 2.6 kernel, therefore, when a thread tries to block a thread-synchronous signal, it dies. So the programmer sees right away that something was done that shouldn't have been done. Linus says the new way is the best way, but of course, many past "best ways" have led to even better ways. The same may happen here.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

Welcome to our new store. We'd like to encourage customers to brew any of our coffees using any brewing method!
If you're specifically looking for coffees originally created for espresso brewing, you'll find those listed as Year-Round products. And, again, we'd definitely encourage you to consider any coffee we offer appropriate for any brewer.
Variety: Bourbon - 12 oz Bag
A first of its kind – a single-variety coffee, dedicated to Bourbon, the king of the heirloom coffee varieties. Connoisseurs treasure the Bourbon variety for its deep, buttery chocolate and coffee flavor, its unique sweetness, and its gentle fruit overtones. Learn more$15.00 -
Tsheya - 12 oz bag
Community Lots
Amid the tension and instability that plague the Kivu communities in eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo is a group of small-scale coffee farmers coming together to really make a name for themselves. The last few years, we have seen the development of high quality coffees there, and this year we took it even further to select out small lots from a few unique communities. Each community lot processed at the Tsheya washing station is nuanced, but all the lots are tied together by a bright citrus, stone fruit, and lightly savory notes. Learn more$15.75 -
Toscano - 12 oz bag
Roasted and blended in the caffe dolce or "sweet coffee" tradition of Central Italian espresso, Toscano finds a home in other brewers, as well, for a slightly darker-profile cup. Sweet and mild, with notes of caramel, hazelnut, and dark chocolate, Toscano has built quite a following of professional baristas and home coffee enthusiasts. Learn more$13.75 -
Rustico - 12 oz bag
The miracle of coffee is that it is capable of a range of delicious flavors: brown sugar, toasted nuts, chocolate, stone fruit, even flowers. Often, blends focus on only one or two of these characteristics, opting for simplicity. Rustico embraces the full spectrum of coffee flavor, and is almost kaleidoscopic in its flavor intensity. To create Rustico, we layer intensely delicious organic coffees artfully to create a complex, fully satisfying coffee experience, which expresses itself beautifully in an espresso machine, drip filter, or French press. Learn more$13.75 -
Remera - 12 oz bag
The country of Rwanda is perfectly suited for amazing coffee – it has good coffee varieties with an ideal climate – and it seems that with each year Rwandan coffees are getting more and more of the credit they deserve. The Remera washing station in the south of Rwanda is one one of the most impressive in the country. Remera's coffee is exactly what we look for in Rwandan coffee: bright, crisp citrus, coupled with fruit notes of cranberry, crisp apple, and stone fruit that go perfectly with the juicy body and clean, sweet aftertaste.Learn more$15.75 -
Number 46 - 12 oz bag
In the earliest days of Counter Culture's history, co-founder Fred Houk created what he felt was a delicious European-style coffee blend. Filed away in our recipe book as "No. 46," more than 15 years later this coffee remains one of our best-selling and most celebrated blends. We still simply call it Number 46. Learn more$13.75 -
Nueva Llusta - 12 oz Bag
Early HarvestNueva Llusta is a collection of small, single-farmer lots that are the culmination of multiple years of hard work between the cooperative and Counter Culture. This year, we were able to select out four special lots, two from the early part of the harvest and two from the later half that are the pinnacle of transparency and quality. All four lots selected have remarkable notes of chocolate, vanilla, and black cherry.Learn more$16.00
Mpemba - 12 oz bag
This cooperative's coffee is simply impressive. From the inception of the co-op last year to this year being recognized in the top 5 coffees in all of Burundi in a national tasting competition, it is probably best to let the coffee speak for itself. Notes of citrus and dried fruit with balance and impeccable sweetness.Learn more$15.50 -
La Golondrina - 12 oz bag
Sourced directly from Cauca, Colombia's most skilled and quality-focused organic farmers, La Golondrina represents the very best of Colombian coffee with layered flavors of caramel, chocolate, cherry, and mild citrus. Learn more$16.00 -
Farmhouse - 12 oz bag
Farmhouse is based on the idea that coffee, like all food, is best enjoyed when it is at its freshest and in season. Throughout the year, as coffees come and go according to the seasons, we roast them to underscore their intrinsic deliciousness. And, then we sell the result. Simple as that. Learn more$13.75

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Bridgemont Community and Technical College and Kanawha Valley Community and Technical College leaders said Tuesday the pending merger of the two schools will provide significant benefits to local employers.
"The primary focus of this new institution is going to be on the delivery of service to business and industry in the region," Kanawha Valley Community and Technical College President Joseph Badgley told members of the South Charleston Economic Development Authority.
Badgley and his Bridgemont counterpart, Dr. Beverly Jo Harris, told local business leaders the combined schools will be better equipped to provide a diverse range of training programs for local companies.
"It's just a real efficient model and a real comprehensive model that we're excited to work on," Harris said.
Earlier this year, the state Legislature passed a bill merging the two schools.
Montgomery-based Bridgemont has traditionally focused on providing degrees in technology fields, while Kanawha Valley has focused on health care training.
The two presidents said they had worked for years to make sure their programs didn't overlap. But with recent budget constraints, officials decided it was better to streamline the approach.
"It was decided that the best approach to delivery for comprehensive community college services for this region of the state is to look at having one single multi-campus community college that serves us better," Harris said.
"What you will see in this one new combined institution will be a very strong, comprehensive community college that will be able to deliver health programs in the Montgomery area, technology programs in the South Charleston area and really create a dynamic flow of opportunity for our students," she said.
In addition to their existing campuses, the combined school will also oversee the $15 million Advantage Valley Advance Technology Center currently under construction in the West Virginia Regional Technology Park.
The center is designed to house a wide array of short-term training programs for local manufacturing, chemical and technology firms.

When I was in Japan 2 summers ago all the girls were all over them. Even the girls visiting Japan from other countries.
It was scary...
yes, this thread is all about the adorably hot Johnny boys sensation in Japan. What do you think of them? do you like their music? their dancing? their acting? which one's your fav? etc
i think i speak for most girls when i say Jin Akanishi and Kazuya Kamenashi are the absolute hottest (go akame^_^)
When I was in Japan 2 summers ago all the girls were all over them. Even the girls visiting Japan from other countries.
It was scary...
OMG! I am a KAT-TUN fan! LMAO Hassun if you think KAT-TUN fans are scary..try seeing the Korean fandom. .____.; Those chicks are seriously hardcored scary fans who will do anything to see their idols.
Well I've been a fan of KAT-TUN since 2002...so a year after their formation. And I guess I am not the normal fan in the fandom XD for my favorite isn't Jin or Kame but Junno closely followed by Ueda.
I absolutely love KAT-TUN, specially the fact that they are a bit different since this band has no leader and each member does whatever they like. So in a sense to me, I think it gives a stronger individual opinion rather than having 1 person saying everything.
I kinda miss their messy dancing, lately after One Drop they've been changing into that synchronized dancing. Which they did it while back dancing for Koichi...but that messy dancing is just DAH BEST YO! -Cough- Specially Jin's hip thrusts XD it just adds that shabam factor.
Acting wise...I am sorry to say but Kame is the only one with real talent for acting in KAT-TUN, though I am not sure till I see Ueda's first drama.
^_^ i love how each member has their own individual style and strengths. i can never say there's one official leader of the band. I've seen like the first 10 minutes of Yukan Club w/ Jin, it was okay, but i haven't watched all of Gokusen yet but yeah they say Kamenashi is awesome at acting. Tatsuya's adorable^_^ he's my third favorite. but yeah the fandom is OMG O_O--especially when Jin does his sexy dancing XD
Yukan Club was funny but nothing exceptional. But, how long have you been a KAT-TUN fan?
i've became their fan in the most ironic way. i was searching for japanese male actors on google b/c i wanted representations for my story, and i just happened to find jin akanishi's picture. i was like "ooh he's hot and his hair fits my character perfectly ^_^" then i searched more and found kazuya's pic. i said "ooh he'd fit definately for the best friend". i did more research on these two and found out that they were in a band from Johnny called KAT-TUN. i was like =O! i knew what kat tun was since like 05 but i didn't know the members names. it was so ironic how jin and kazuya are really close and my characters for them are really close too, and i didn't even know it. since then i've been in love with all of them and i've watched japanese teen dramas as well
oops -_-' that was a lot, srry.
LMAO, me I found KAT-TUN accidently in 2002 XD. I was in a music rotation site...and the admin over there got the links messed up instead of a Jrock performance in MS I ended up with a heap full of hip thrusts in MS with some SIZZLING HOT boyband XD which was a very good thing XD
i've known KAT-KUN since 2004 ..they're really adorable and awsome..of course, girls like them..i like each of their qualities.. but still, few don't like them..hihi
With earphones in my ears
I read comic books under the covers.
I may still be in an ivory tower,
but I really want to grow up.

The recording industry should thank Apple
This month's Wired feature on Universal Music Group CEO Doug Morris--which was posted online--has received a lot of commentary, most of it damning Morris as representative of a clueless and mortally wounded industry. The following quote, in which Morris talks about the dawn of the MP3 era, has drawn particular interest:
"There's no one in the record company that's a technologist. That's a misconception writers make all the time, that the record industry missed this. They didn't. They just didn't know what to do." He goes on to explain that he … Read more

Burke-Gilman Trail Extension Projects Area under railroad tracks, West of 34th Ave NW Updated February 20, 2003
This section is not as wide as the sections to the North and to the East. A retaining wall will be built adjacent to the trail to take advantage of as much land as possible through this corridor, and to maintain minimum clearance from the railroad tracks. There will be no landscaping on this section.

[JURIST] Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano signed [press release, PDF] the Legal Arizona Workers Act [AZ HB 2779 materials] Monday, legislation that requires employers to verify that employees are in the United States legally. In what Napolitano called "the most aggressive action in the country against employers who knowingly or intentionally hire undocumented workers," employers who violate the law could have their business licence suspended or, after a second offense, permanently revoked. In her signing statement [PDF text], Napolitano, however, noted several problems with the new Arizona law, including the omission of an anti-discrimination clause and the lack of a "license revocation exception for businesses servicing critical infrastructure," among others. The governor also condemned the federal government for failing to pass immigration reform legislation [JURIST news archive], saying:
Immigration is a federal responsibility, but I signed House Bill 2779 because it is now abundantly clear that Congress finds itself incapable of coping with the comprehensive immigration reforms our country needs. I signed it, too, out of the realization that the flow of illegal immigration into our state is due to the constant demand of some employers for cheap, undocumented labor.... Because of Congress' failure to act, states like Arizona have no choice but to take strong action to discourage the further flow of illegal immigration through our borders. I renew my call to Congress to enact comprehensive immigration reform legislation. Now that Arizona has acted, other states are likely to follow. For our country to have a uniform and uniformly enforced immigration law, the United States Congress must act swiftly and definitively to solve this problem at the national level.

I got a weber grill as a gift an no cover. I was considering a generic brand, but got the weber first and it fits perfect.

A Perfect Fit
This grill cover is just what I needed to cover my "antique" Genesis 2000. It fits perfectly and slides on easily. My order was delivered in good shape and faster than promised. Can't beat that!
By OPOma on Home Depot - Jun 7, 2013
Love the new grill cover
The last cover we had for the grill covered only the top. The long version cost more, but it fits great and we like that it covers the doors, so they won't swing open during storms!
By egr2058 on Home Depot - Jun 4, 2013
its a light weight cover.... good for summer months... not heavy enuff for me.. not good for winter/snow outdoor storage
By nick56 on Home Depot - Jun 4, 2013
Product fits my grill perfectly, unlike imitations.
Shipped right to house. Tuff to find a quality cover, or even a decent cover, that fits my Weber Silver Genesis B grill.

Chicks may dig the long ball, but I dig the walk. Home runs are great, too, but for some reason walks really stir my pot. It may be because they were the long-ignored sibling to the more savory base hit in the on-base percentage stew. It may also be that command of the strike zone is perhaps the most useful thing a batter can have at his disposal, and walks are often the residue of a batter's ability to own that invisible swath of three-dimensional space.
Whatever the reason, at season's end I'm always eager to see who walked the most and, perhaps more importantly — and more predictively — who walked most often relative to his opportunities. Here are the Mets' raw walk leaders for 2012:
Player | BB |
David Wright | 81 |
Ike Davis | 61 |
Andres Torres | 52 |
Lucas Duda | 51 |
Daniel Murphy | 36 |
It can't surprise many to see Wright atop this list. He's patient, but moreover he was the Mets' best hitter in nearly every category this season. Total walks don't tell us the whole story, because some players have more opportunities than others, so we can account for that by ranking everyone by walk rate, which is simply walks divided by plate appearances. For the purpose of meaningfulness, I've only included players with at least 100 trips to the plate in 2012:
Player | BB% |
David Wright | 12.1% |
Andres Torres | 12.0% |
Mike Baxter | 11.8% |
Lucas Duda | 11.1% |
Ike Davis | 10.4% |
When enumerated this way, "Moneyball" Mike Baxter sneaks onto the list, having walked nearly 12% of the time this season. Given his salary (league minimum) and the Mets' other outfield options (meh), Baxter seems a sure bet to be back in the fold for 2013. Andres Torres's spot here gives you a sense that he could be a pretty nice all-around player if he can get his batting average up a bit from the woeful .230 mark he finished 2012 with.
Walk rate is good, but I want more. I've long puzzled over the odd lumping together of intentional walks with unintentional ones. In the simplest sense, sure, they're both walks, but they really represent different attributes of the hitter. Unintentional walks are predominantly a reflection of plate discipline, while intentional walks typically reflect the comparative weakness of the subsequent hitter to the hitter being passed over. You can separate these yourself, and so that's what I've done. Here are the Mets' unintentional walk rate leaders for 2012:

3.28/5 rDev -10.6%
look: 3.25 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.25
This is a tough one... I will rate the appearance similar to the other Porterhouse beer I have had, as it looks very much the same. Nearly black, almost opaque, small head after the initial pour, no lacing. The smell is okay - salty, almost earthy, briny... a tiny bit of chocolate, and mostly... a cloying and alien sweetness. Perhaps also, some oxidized essence. When drinking, the smooth mouthfeel is the best part. Too acidic, salty, and most of all, too sweet. Even though I am inexperienced in Oyster Stout tasting... I'm sure there's much better out there in the style.

3.33/5 rDev -9.3%
look: 3.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
Appearance - Definitely filtered. Deep, dark brown when poured and black in the glass. Bright white/ beige head with decent lacing -- nothing crazy. Mildly carbonated.
Smell - Baker's chocolate/ caramel, peat moss, sweet bread, plum and a mixer of subtle bitter hops. Not picking up much oyster at all at this point.
Taste - Detecting very little oyster. Cocoa/ cacao nibs, dry woody notes from the roasted grains, quite dry and bitter, light caramel, slightly smoky from the peat moss, subtle brown sugar and barely detectible dark fruits, such as dates and prunes. Slightly salty on the finish, but again, perhaps a little too conservative. Overall, taste is fairly flat and somewhat 2-dimensional.
Mouthfeel - Nice carbonation, probably one of the better aspects of this beer. It fits. This really sticks to the front of the mouth and seems to activate many of the bitter receptors. Not a full-bodied beer and it definitely could use more flavor (a much more concentrated mash would be nice) to help with mouthfeel. Personally, I would prefer a sticky, thick stout when drinking this style of beer.
Overall - Too reserved for an Oyster Stout, in my opinion. I want to taste the ocean, like having a mouthful of sea water. Obviously, this can be done well if one was to balance the meaty salts with nice, robust candi sugar and rich grain profile. Also, worth mentioning: this tastes like the same recipe used to brew their regular Stout, but with the subtle addition of oysters. It also reminds me of Guinness: boring and safe. Overall, rather bland. After having intense, true-to-style Oyster Stouts similar to those made by Upright Brewing and others, this just really pales in comparison. Won't be buying again.

4/5 rDev +9%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
330ml Bottle from Beers of Europe website (£1.89):
Dark mahogany brown with a half centimetre tall head that is an light, tan brown and creamy looking with good retention.
Rich with a lot of dark chocolate and strong coffee notes with some roasted barely coming through as well. This is followed by a creamy, milk chocolate smell and some sweetness that is complimented by some light vanilla and fruits such a cherry and blackcurrant.
Sweet with the milk chocolate from the nose taking more of a front seat here along with some sugar and a creamy, roasted malt taste. There is a hint of the oysters that give the beer its name and some hints of cocoa as you get to the middle. The finish features some coffee and is rounded off with a slightly smoked taste, a touch of bitterness and some fruits.
Smooth and creamy throughout, this one was naturally dry given the style. Quite sweet and with a good balance on top of a light medium body, the beer is one that goes down well.
Good balance and some nice sweetness on top of the traditionally dark flavours. Without being a stand out in this one was definitely one of the better dry stouts I have tasted and was particularly good for an oyster stout.

4.05/5 rDev +10.4%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Appearance: For a stout, I expect something a bit more than this - here, we have a translucent coffee brown liquid capped by a quickly fading ecru head; some decent lacing picks the score up a notch
Smell: Chocolate with a caramel edge; underneath, there is a mineral quality that comes, I presume from either the water, the oysters, or both
Taste: At first, the taste is dominated by roast (a hint of smoke) and chocolate, with a blend of berry fruit and mint making an appearance, in the middle; the briny minerality of the oysters adds another dimension, in the finish
Mouthfeel: Surprisingly thin in the mouthfeel, with moderate carbonation
Overall: I seem to like this beer a lot more than others around here as I have found a surprising range of flavors in the mix

Poor game plan for DeMarco...it reminded me of a fading Miguel Cotto before he hooked up with Steward, then ultimately Pedro Diaz. Im not 110% sure why DeMarco was leaning in with his guard up high and his head out there, just begging to be hit with numerous uppercuts. Cotto had that BAD before he switched trainers. I thought it had a lot to do with those body shots as well.
It's just that simple, DeMarco was thinking waaay too much, and playing the feint game with Broner. That's about the ONLY time DeMarco moved his head, is when he was mimicking Broner's movement during those feints. He also started moving his head in the 6th round, but it was far too late for that shit. LOL As much as I cant stand Adrien, dude went out there and looked as good as anybody could possibly look against a guy with little head movement or ring IQ. I don't think anybody else out there can repeat that beatdown against DeMarco. As for Seth Mitchell, I said it in my first post of this thread, I could see Banks taking Seth to deeper waters than Witherspoon did...and that's exactly what happened. To say the least, it made the night THAT much more interesting. I like the way he took his L though, he didn't make any excuses, and he wrapped it up well by wishing luck to his next opponent (who will probably need it). Seth has some work to do, and Im sure that became clear to him last night. As Franchize mentioned, Seth's ring IQ needs some serious work. Im sort of glad that he lost last night...no way in hell he could've continued fighting any other fighters in that same manner...the loss was inevitable, and was bound to happen soon. It's obvious that he's not ready for a Klitz bro, but with Haymon as his manager, I can still see it happening in the near future. Call me crazy, but we see how Arreola's wide ass was forced on the public and he got a Klitz fight...difference is, he was able to take his L and get a big payday. Overall, this was a good card...no complaints. Im ready for Berto/Guerrero and Quintana/Thurman next week...Im more excited about the Thurman/Quintana bout though. LOL |

Dan Marantz, Senior Program Manager Lead at Bing announced on the Bing Search Blog that they have made two improvements to the auto-suggestions.
Bing's auto-suggest is now faster and a lot more accurate, according to Bing. Bing said two "themes" are behind the change including navigational queries coming to the forefront of auto-suggest and search history being more extensively used within auto-suggest.
They sped up the auto-suggest by using a technique called "ghosting" where Bing will show the suggestion in blue highlighted text in the search box and then show alternatives below. You can tab or press the down arrow to access those suggestions and press enter or click to search for that query. Bing said this has sped up user searches by over 16%.
Google obviously uses the technique called Google Instant which actually loads the search results almost immediately as you type. Google launched Instant on September 8, 2010.

A vision for low-cost inspection
"The sensor must be versatile enough to read a range of folded literature from thick inserts to some as thin as rice paper" says Farmer. And in various hues too: Subtle literature hues interpreted successfully by the vision sensor in gray scale include off-white and even a yellowish-gold paper.
Access now has 100% inspection of every single carton for literature presence. When asked about the viability of the system "the proof is in complaints from the field and there have been none" Farmer replies. Before when literature insertion was done manually the company would occasionally receive a complaint about the lack of an insert Packaging World is told.
More than lipstick service
Access also uses an F30 vision sensor for label presence installed this past summer on the infeed to an IWK cartoner for tubes of lipstick and mascara. A photocell was not practical for this application because the company wanted to do more than detect the presence of a label Farmer says; it also wanted to check placement accuracy. He says they set the parameters for placement tightly therefore they receive frequent false rejects. "It's a fail-safe system" explains Farmer "as we even reject ones that are borderline good." Farmer reports that they reject several products out of every hundred. Rejected products are then manually inspected.
The F30's sensing head is mounted in a position beyond where a pressure-sensitive label is applied to the bottom of the lipstick tube. The circular product-identifying label measures 7/16'' in dia. PW observed mascara being run with gold labels preprinted in black ink and embossed online with a production code. Some lipstick labels are even smaller just 3/8'' in diameter Farmer says.
The sensing head is aimed at a small opening in the inclined metal infeed that holds the tubes just before they drop into a cartoner flight. The label can be seen through the opening.
The self-contained unit includes camera light source lens and controller. It carries a list price of $2 to which Access added a 9'' black-and-white monitor. The system offers 256-gray scale level inspection. The adjustable shutter camera has image capture speeds to 1/3000 of a second. It inspects labels on tube bottoms as they roll by at rates between 35 and 40/min. Those without a label are then tracked by the cartoner's PLC and rejected downstream.
Access' continuing vision for the future includes more of these low-cost vision sensors.

I found the other ones Bass Pro offered previously ran 2-3 sizes large - in that a #20 hook was about right to tie a size 14 - 16 Klinkhamer-Style Fly.Answers
Top 500 Contributor
The Daiichi 1167 was designed by Hans Van Klinken, and proportionally, the shank is shorter than the Partridge hook used in the past to tie this pattern. The size 14 is the smallest size these are currently available in, but were the most perfect shape for a CDC and Elk emerger. Plenty of shape and no awkwardly long shank.I recommend trying these - the size will look a lot more familar to American tyers - European hook sizing is at best, very subjective. Hook quality is excellent and the dark nickel finish keeps the focus on the look of the fly.

"Although located in an urban area, the Banana River Aquatic Preserve offers many opportunities to view and experience the estuarine resources of the Indian River Lagoon system. Paddling the mangrove-lined backwaters of the Thousand Islands in Cocoa Beach or walking the trails along the marsh at Ulumay Wildlife Sanctuary adjacent to Sykes Creek are just a few of the opportunities available to visit this natural treasure."
