It's fitting that DTS authored the high-res lossless soundtrack for This Is Spinal Tap when the cult classic arrived on Blu-ray, because the audio company has cranked its latest format up to 11.
There were plenty of rockin' home theater demos at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES), but none quite as unique as the one in DTS' booth.
Forget 7.1- or even 9.1-channel surround sound - the DTS theater packed an 11.1-channel punch. Following in the footsteps of rival Dolby Laboratories' ProLogic IIz technology that debuted in 2009, which adds "height" speakers above the front channels, DTS unveiled its "Neo:X" format in Las Vegas.
Really, More Speakers?
Surround sound in the standard 5.1-channel setup - front left, right and center channels, two side or rear channels, plus a subwoofer - really took off with the advent of DVD and later with receiver/speaker "home theater in a box" packages. As CE pros who have installed thousands of such systems over the years, home theater goers find traditional surround sound mighty enveloping - after all, some say audio is half of the home theater experience.
So why add more speakers, and therefore a more complicated installation, especially for homeowners who want to wire their own systems?
Part of it stems from the fact that thanks to Blu-ray, people have already started adding speakers to create 7.1-channel surround systems that take advantage of DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD lossless formats that have been mixed with additional audio information. And part of it is the emergence of 3D technology into home theaters and the desire to produce even more immersion.
"We see it as a complement to 3D technology, and people can configure it in a couple of different ways to really have an engaging experience," says Geir Skaaden, VP, North American licensing operations for DTS. "Neo:X was designed with the goal of generating an additional dimension 'height' to traditional 7.1 surround sound playback, while maintaining a natural three-dimensional sound field consistent with the artist intent of the original mix."
Of course, it's difficult enough finding Blu-ray discs that include native 7.1-channel soundtracks, so don't expect 9.1- or 11.1-channel audio tracks on those high-def discs anytime soon. That's where the processing comes in, as Neo:X takes 2.0/5.1/6.1/7.1 formats and converts them within a single algorithm to 9.1/11.1 to deliver discrete effects to those additional channels.
For an 11.1 configuration, height speakers would help convey effects of planes, thunder, rain, background music, etc., while width speakers would expand the front sound stage and enhance front-to-side actions, like cars moving across the screen or bullets zinging by, says DTS.
"Neo:X has been designed with great flexibility so people that have an existing 7.1 system can either add four new speakers or reconfigure their existing speakers to generate height playback," says Skaaden. "For those planning their home theater, this is another option if they're looking for the ultimate home audio experience."Facebook and Twitter.

Very unfortunate to see Mao's DG and single flip.
I can't believe that her season best is 58+... ugh.... (except for the nationals)
We will see what happens in LP, since Mao seeems to redeem herself in LP
most of the time. It would have helped Mao gain her confidence back
if she did well here, but so far it doesn't seem like it. :(
As to the TES winner Kwak, I never saw her performance before.
She somehow reminds me of Christina Gao and also young Yuna a little.
Ridiculously long legs and arms, and her jumps seem pretty sold and
I like her flexibility! I see that she has the highest TES, but super low PCS,
so I wonder if she will grow to become a threat to Nagasu, Murakami,
and Gao perhaps? (Although sad to admit, I think Zhang is
out of the picture now..... )

Im really shocked to see how low the mao's pcs is.
but i guess she failed her SP yedsteray, so got the right psc,
although only one skater could get the high psc with huge mistakes.
That said, she's still going for three 3axel attempts most probably because she should rely on them with 3/3s and lutz gone, which is not ideal at all in the olympic season. That with the coaching situation added...
I was watching the slow live stream on justintv so I'll have to watch Akiko's L4 step again. Speaking of step sequences, I was wow-ed by Cohen's Nats SP step because it didn't have the awkward stops or excessive upper body movements but it was more of an 'old school'ish one that was smooth, crisp and went so well with the music. And it got L3 anyway, which made me wonder if some skaters are better off on this route than with a so-so L4-aiming one.
I'll have to stop talking about US Nationals in this thread
Whatever. Good luck for her this season. But next season, I really hope she'll have a solid support team (and her own mentality to work with the team).

Ever since we heard Sienna Miller is set to play Tippi Hedren in eerie movie The Girl, we've been wondering how she'll measure up. Would she live up to the ultimate Hitchcock heroine? The first official trailer suggests that yes. she. can.
The film documents the director's obsession with the leading lady of his cult motion picture The Birds and the trailer opens with a gorgeously glowing Sienna having dinner with Hitchcock played by Toby Jones. All seems merry until we see Tippi on set 'trembling' and the director states that 'it's time you gave something back.' Uh oh. It's set to get spine tingling.
Indeed, since The Birds was made in 1964, disturbing details have emerged about the pair — the director allegedly eavesdropped on the actress' phone calls and even dictated her off-duty wardrobe. For 20 little-known-facts about Hitchcock and his heroine, keep scrolling...
16 July 2012: 20 Facts You Didn't Know About Hitchcock's Heroine
Sienna Miller as Tippi Hedren and the screen siren in 1963
We're thrilled at the thought of Sienna Miller appearing on our telly boxes in a new BBC2 biopic, but it's the subject of the film that has us all the more intrigued. The Brit actress, who gave birth to daughter Marlowe earlier this month, is set to play Alfred Hitchcock's muse Tippi Hedren in The Girl which sheds light on the director's sordid obsession with the screen siren.
The first stills from the film, to be aired in September, show Sienna working those Hitchcock heroine trademarks, from the icy blonde bouffant to the blood red lips and matching nails. Hedren has already given Ms Miller her seal of approval after requesting to meet Sienna at her home on the Shambala Preserve, an 80-acre sanctuary for tigers, lions and leopards in the Mojave Desert. 'It was important we met so I could explain my background and what sort of a person I am,' Hedren explained. 'I didn't want her to play me as a victim. Hitchcock put me through hell, pure hell, but I got out. I was an extremely strong young woman.'
Toby Jones as Hitchcock and Sienna Miller as Hedren vs the real deal
Since the film was made in 1964, an abundance of disturbing details have emerged about Hitchcock and his heroine — the director apparently eavesdropped on the actress' phone calls and even dictated her off-duty wardrobe. So with a little help from Wikipedia, we've rounded up a few details about Hedren that you may not know, some of which will get your spine a-tingling...
1. Tippi Hedren was a model for 11 years before she was discovered by Hitchcock.
2. The director saw Hedren in a commercial for Sego, a diet drink, and became obsessed with her. He was looking for an actress who possessed something of the sophistication and cool-blonde sex appeal of Grace Kelly, with whom he had made three films.
3. Hedren got a call to meet with executives on Friday 13th, 1961. She met with the director for dinner when he gave her a 'beautifully wrapped package from Gump's San Fransico.' Inside was a gold and pearl bird pin.
4. Hitchcock directed Hedren in her debut film, The Birds.
5. A treadmill was brought into the studio for the close shots of Tippi running with all the children. Tippi spoke of how dangerous it was with all the people running. If one person went down, there was a domino effect.
Tippi Hedren in The Birds
6. Hedren said the phone booth in the film was supposed to be made of shatterproof glass, but when the fake seagull came down the wire and crashed into it, glass exploded all over her.
7. For the final attack scene in a second-floor bedroom, Hedren had been assured by Hitchcock that mechanical birds would be used. Instead, she endured five days of live gulls, ravens and crows being flung at her, their beaks clamped shut with elastic bands.
8. When her post-attack make-up was done, Tippi said she looked at herself in a mirror, then went outside and threw up.
9. Nearing exhaustion and after being scratched close to her eye toward the end of filming, Hedren pulled off birds and said, 'That's enough!' A physician ordered a week's rest, which Hedren said at the time was riddled with 'nightmares filled with flapping wings'.
10. Cary Grant came on set to see Hitchcock and said to Tippi, 'I think you're the bravest lady I've ever met'.
11. In 1964 Hedren received a Golden Globe Award for 'Most Promising Newcomer - Female', tied with Elke Sommer and Ursula Andress.
12. She co-starred with Sean Connery in a second Hitchcock film, Marnie in 1964, a romantic drama and psychological thriller from the novel by Winston Graham.
13. Hitchcock had a plan to mould Hedren's public image by carefully controlling her style of dressing and grooming.
14. Other directors who wanted to hire her had to go through Hitchcock, who would inform them she was unavailable. 'It grew to be impossible. He was a very controlling type of person, and I guess I'm not about to be controlled', said Hedren.
15. When she tried to get out of her contract, Hitchcock told her he'd ruin her career. 'And he did: kept me under contract, kept paying me every week for almost two years to do nothing.'
16. In 2011, Hedren stated in an interview that because she refused Hitchcock's sexual advances, he effectively stunted her career.
Naomi Watts in Mullholland Drive, January Jones in Mad Men
17. Hedren gave birth to Melanie Griffiths in 1957. Melanie and Tippi starred together in Pacific Heights.
18. A Louis Vuitton ad campaign in 2006 paid tribute to Hedren and Hitchcock with a modern-day interpretation of the deserted railway station opening sequence of Marnie.
19. Naomi Watts has stated that her character interpretation in Mulholland Drive was influenced by the look and performances of Hedren in Hitchcock films.
20. An issue of Vanity Fair referred to January Jones's character in Mad Men as 'Tippi Hedren's soul sister from Marnie'.
Goodness, Sienna certainly has a LOT to take on. Do you think she can pull off Hitchcock's iconic heroine?


text: Holiday Apartments in Amsterdam Friendly Rentals has wide range of apartments in Amsterdam. If you are travelling with family, your partner or a group of friends we are sure we have the perfect holiday accommodation to suit your needs. Synonymous with windmills and tulips, Amsterdam is famous for its historic canals, numerous museums, mansions, bicycles, "coffee shops" and nightlife. A city full of young people but with a history that goes back to the 12th century. It is also known for being a multicultural city and is a universal symbol of tolerance and freedom. If you are looking for an apartment in the centre of Amsterdam, we can help you. At Friendly Rentals we offer fully equipped apartments in Amsterdam complete with modern kitchen, heating, dishwasher, microwave and everything you need to make you feel completely at home. We have romantic apartments for weekend getaways and larger apartments for families and groups. Amsterdam is at its best during summer when the temperatures allow you to tour the city, taking advantage of the sun and agreeable climate. If you like the cold, to witness the canals and the city covered under a blanket of snow is a unique experience. From your apartment in Amsterdam you can explore the canals, Anne Frank's House, Flower Market, Rijksmuseum, the works of Van Gogh and enjoy a picnic in Vondelpark. Eating Out in Amsterdam In Amsterdam you can easily find food from round the world: noodles, Argentinean meats, pizzas…and a lot of fast food. Walking the streets around Dam Square, it is common to see street vendors selling the famous raw herring ("maatjes haring") accompanied with onion and pickles or hot chips with mayonnaise served in a paper cone. For those of you who would like a sit down meal instead of grabbing a bite on the run we recommend you try "bitterballen" (fried meatballs with mustard) or "hutspot" (a beef stew served with mashed potato and vegetables). When the temperatures drop you can warm up with the very popular and tasty pea soup, or would you be willing to try making some in your apartment in Amsterdam? Amsterdam's Sights Apart from the canal side mansions, drawbridges and flower markets, Amsterdam is the European Capital with more monuments and museums per square kilometre. There are four must see sights when you visit Amsterdam: the Rijksmuseum housing the world's largest collection of Dutch art-don't forget to take the typical photo of I Amsterdam at the entrance, the Van Gogh Museum featuring more than 200 paintings, the Rembrandt Museum at his residence and finally Anne Frank's House where she and her family hid from the Nazis during WWII. Shopping in Amsterdam If you are looking for an authentic souvenir of your visit to Amsterdam, you can't go past a pair of clogs ("klompen"), you can even get them as key rings. Tulips in all their colours and the typical blue and white hand painted ceramics are also popular souvenirs. The best places to buy these souvenirs are the local markets including the flower market and the famous Waterlooplein. For non souvenir shopping we recommend you take a wander through the "De 9 Straatjes", these nine cross streets linking the canals are lined with shops. Amsterdam for Children There is a lot for children to do in Amsterdam. You can begin at the Science Centre NEMO, a place where children can learn about technology and science through play. For the braver children they can visit the Amsterdam Dungeon, a place where history is told as if it were a horror story. The zoo is always a good place to visit when travelling with children. The Artis Royal Zoo is Europe's oldest and houses more than 750 species from around the world. Alternatively you can visit the Amstelpark Farm where the children can learn about animals, try different cheeses and homemade ice-creams. To end the day, take a canal boat back to your home away from home, your apartment in Amsterdam. Amsterdam Nightlife Amsterdam is different at night: the lights, electronic music, beer and cocktails flood the streets. The perfect place to begin a night out in Amsterdam is at the Heineken Experience, an interactive space where you can learn more about this famous brand of beer and of course, drink a few bottles. Broaden your knowledge of cocktails at the Cocktail Museum in the House of Bols, the oldest distillery in the World. If you like to dance to the latest electronic music, there are three big clubs in Amsterdam which you have to visit: Club Air Amsterdam, Escape and Paradiso. Why Rent with Friendly Rentals? Friendly Rentals has years of experience in the holiday apartment rental industry and provides excellent customer service. Our apartments in Amsterdam are fully equipped and regularly inspected to ensure they meet our exacting standards. Our objective is to offer our clients the best service possible and an unforgettable holiday in Amsterdam. Read more

Efficiency gains, if not properly managed, can quietly take away most of the present market for electricity. But they also offer alert utilities an unprecedented opportunity to control risk,...
Saving Gigabucks with Negawatts (1985)
In an age of costly electricity and cheap efficiency, smart utilities will sell less electricity and more efficiency.
purposes (two-thirds of it for office equipment) is under $320 per year, or 8 cents per square-foot-year — about 5 percent that of a normal office building. The net marginal cost of our energy saving measures, 1 percent of construction cost, pays back in one year. The building produces more than $19 per day worth of saved energy — economically equivalent to a 0.7-barrel-per-day stripper well. That saving should pay off the entire building in about 40 years. Our 2,500 visitors have also remarked on how the building combines efficiency with beauty and a very high quality of life.
The Implications
Even if technological development were instantly arrested at its present stage — rather than continuing to evolve so quickly that takes a looseleaf mind to keep up with it — the technical and economic potential for saving electricity is already immense. It will greatly widen the two-to-one margin by which present U.S. generating capacity saturates the premium, nonthermal markets — the uses which can give us our money's worth from a form of energy as costly as electricity. The new electricity saving technologies of which I have given a few examples are relatively so cheap, and collectively so large, that:
- The long-run supply curve for electricity is so flat and slopes so gently that the market-clearing price will never be high enough to justify building more central thermal power stations. The era of big plants is over.
- The long-run own-price elasticity of demand for electricity is extremely large; so large that higher prices will probably reduce utility revenues. A utility which raises its rates will probably lose more on the number of kilowatt-hours it sells than it makes up by charging more per kilowatt-hour. If so, new construction will require more revenue but yield less — a recipe for bankruptcy. Long-run revenue can be increased only by lower price, not by higher price.
- Higher prices — in other words — will make electricity even more uncompetitive with efficiency by pricing it further out of the market: Rate hikes make electricity even less able to compete with weatherstripping. Electricity is already priced, in general, above a monopolist's profit maximizing level, and must be sold at lower prices if it is to recapture market share. (Higher subsidies do not help either: They must encourage and enable utilities to build more plants than can be amortized from their revenues.)
- There will be fierce competition for shares of a shrinking fuels and power market — yet whether the real price of electricity is more stable than that of fuels is irrelevant because neither can compete with efficiency.
- A rising electric share of end-use energy does not mean rising electrical demand: Many international analyses foresee a rising electric share of a dwindling end-use market (just what has happened in the U.S. lately).
These long-run conclusions are not just theoretical: They are what the market is doing. Since 1979, the United States has gotten more than 100 times as much new energy from savings as from all net expansions of energy supply combined. The energy content

I have tried this once since getting it. I took one pill in the morning, and being that I'm sensitive to stimulants, it really gave me palpitations, 1-2 loose bowels, and nausea for the first few hours. It was just too high a dose for me. But I'm thrilled that the label and reviews are true: "Tested for purity and potency." So, I have a pill cutter from CVS, and these pills split into quarters perfectly! Next I'll take just 1/4 of a pill and update this post as to how it works for me. I normally drink a medium Dunkin Donuts coffee to get going, but I needed a pill to get out of bed in the morning, and I want to cut back on calories and buying or making coffee. Plus I find coffee too stimulating and laxitative. And it's staining to the teeth! These caffeine pills are a nice alternative to theADHD stimulant medications I used to be prescribed, and way cheaper. Previously, I tried a CVS brand caffeine product at 200mg and it didn't do a thing. Then I tried another product, from a different brand that was offered at CVS, that was the green coffee bean, and it didn't do a thing, either. I wasted about $25 altogether! I knew I could trust iherb for caffeine that actually works. Thank you................UPDATE::: I tried 1/4 a pill to wake up, but it wasn't enough. 1/2 a pill is perfect for me! I have grogginess in the morning and keep hitting snooze, trying to wake up, but now after the alarm goes off, I take 1/2 pill (aka 100mg) and within about 10 minutes, my heart beats faster and the grogginess clears. My head clears and I feel alert, enough to get out of bed within 10 minutes. WHAT A GODSEND! I don't have the alertness to go grab coffee, so I have to take this. Thank you iherb and everyone who reviewed it! ..........NOTE: I have sleep apnea, I'm on some mental medications, and I get stressful dreams -- all of which contribute to the groggy mornings.

Your post makes me want to switch from Arch to Debian unstable, or at least make it high in my list, but it's weird that Xfce 4.10 is not in unstable yet! It's one year old and I haven't had any problem with it since it was introduced into Arch.
I got a better tips, than mix repositories, in this tread
It is not generally considered a good idea to mix debian and ubuntu repositories. You can install 4.10 from the following repository for sid:
deb http://ftp.spline.de/pub/siduction/xfcenext/ unstable main
There is no apt-key, so you will need to ignore the warning about lacking a public key.
Siduction is a Debian live cd version that I don't know anything about. ;-) But the packages works great in Sid.

When I first moved from XP to Linux in December last year, I first tried Mint before discovering the wonderfully light, fast rolling release that is Manjaro Linux. Xfce is the default desktop & after 5 months of running my business & general virtual life on it, I have never looked back. It's still in beta but already rock solid. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a fast & light distro with a well integrated Xfce DE.
Just wanted to mention that Mint 15's Xfce DE version is now in the testing stage.
Hi there...
Am using Ubuntu Studio...
By default it has Xfce...
Am loving it...
live long & prosper,
Hi there...

I was under the impression that only Xubuntu used Xfce for the default DE.
Out of curiousity, after you first boot Ubuntu Studio, the desktop loads, and the hard drive activity light goes out, how much RAM is being used at that point?
If you aren't sure how to tell, you can add System Load Monitor to one of your Xfce panels and hover your mouse cursor over the "mem" bar for a few seconds.
EDIT: Courtesy requires that I post my own results: I am running 32-bit Mint 14 Xfce, with all the updates that adding the Xfce 4.10 and 4.12 PPAs bring. On a fresh boot to the desktop, and after waiting approximately three minutes to make sure that everything is loaded (and giving Update Manager enough time to do its check, I suppose), I see 166 megs of RAM being used. That's with two desktop panels (one on top of the screen, one on the bottom) and a bunch of applets running on the panels - including the XfApplet applet, which I use to run "mintMenu 5.3.8" Advanced Gnome Menu. I think someone said it takes close to 20 megs by itself, but I am not sure. I'm wondering if this figure - 166 megs - is considered good (low), high, or about average.

I checked that out.. and got nearly 400 megs after the software updation notification was complete... so i am guessing urz is on the lower side...
Also , UStudio hav been using Xfce from sometime in '11 or prior to that, if I am not mistaken ... had Ustudio 12.04 installed n that also had Xfce DE by default...
Ustudio loads up quiet a few things at start up so am guessing thatz what is causin the ram usage.. Also I boot up F.lux on start up n i hav no clue how much ram that uses... btw, my total ram is 3430 megs....
I hav 2 panels... the top 1 is customized n lower panel only has the 4 workspaces to it n nothing else.. if u want u can hav a look at my desktop here:

live long & prosper,
Ubuntu is fine to get started for newly converted ex Windows users But after the learning period of 2 years distro hopping almost all users will move to distributions like Debian, Suse and Fedora. For me personally, there is only 1 distribution and it is Debian :-)
Debian all the way my friends... because of its stability, its philosophy, its developers, its high quality packaging system,... because Debian is a way of life
In case someone is interested to move to Debian... please use already the 'soon-to-become-stable' wheezy version as squeeze is too outdated right now.
I wanted to install debian wheezy a month back.. used it in VBox and felt this is the distro for me... after all it is the 'father' of all buntus right..
once installed in my laptop i spent 3 sleepless nights and couldn't get the ati driver to work....
let go of debian then...
am not new to linux but come on man some things should be easy... right? like a right driver for a ati 6 series card !!!
i am no computer xpert n debian ain't helping me out..
their forums say things in a way that take into account that u r at least an advanced user...
I am not!
really sorry had to say goodbye to Debian.. but i liked the little xperience i had with it...
live long & prosper,

Figured I'd make a screenshot as well. I normally have my panels set to auto-hide, and I have Xfce set to change my background image every minute, so for the most part my desktop just shows one of a number of nature scenes/landscapes, lol. I've also got RadioTray running, which adds (?) megs to my RAM usage. Thumbnail opens full-sized image (hosted on zimagez):
And one showing the extra menu I added (largely so I could set it up with "favorite" apps):
BtW... I think I replied to you in another thread thinking that you were using Debian as your only distro. Apologies for being confused.
okiez... apology accepted..
cudn't make head or tail of what u wrote there anyway...
Yep I use UStudio n not debian... tried it for a week , liked it tho'....

I mainly use Ubuntu Studio 12.04 which is distributed with Xfce as default. I used to run Xubuntu on my eee pc but recently switched to Debian Wheezy with Xfce instead since it used a bit less resources and I liked the idea of coming closer to the source. Since *buntu is based on Debian, why not run Debian directly. But for my main laptop it's still Ubuntu Studio since I do some audio and video editing. I like the look and convenience.
Quote "really sorry had to say goodbye to Debian.. but i liked the little xperience i had with it..." you may want to try SolydX
http://solydxk.com/ It is Debian based, but is easier because it has non-free built in. You get the real Firefox with plug-ins, and
driver installation is handled by the Device Driver Manager. The forum is friendly and will help and be glad you are there.

RICHMOND, Va. - Accomack County residents won't be getting federal aid to repair damage caused by Superstorm Sandy.
Gov. Bob McDonnell said Thursday that he was disappointed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency denied the state's disaster relief request for the hard- hit Eastern Shore community. He encouraged Virginians to help Accomack residents by donating to the Virginia Disaster Relief Fund.
The federal Individual Assistance Program would have made funding available to homeowners, renters and businesses in the form of low-interest loans and grants, unemployment assistance, disaster housing assistance and crisis counseling.
