Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Features, Home Entertainment, PC / Laptop, Family, Techies, Under $100, Under $500
The Ceton InfiniTV 4 USB is one of the cooler items we're featuing in our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide. It basically turns your computer into a fully-functional live TV DVR.

It's a CableCARD adapter that plugs into your machine using USB. So all you need to do is insert a CableCARD from your cable provider, plug in your cable cord, and plug in to your computer. From there, you'll have access to all of the cable channels that you subscribe to, and you can record up to four different channels at once. See? We told you this was cool. Great for rooms where you only have a computer and no television, but also great if you want to incorporate a Mac or PC into your home theater setup, as it eliminates the need for a cable box, meaning you save on that montly rental fee. The Ceton InfiniTV 4 USB sells for $299, but you can get one on Amazon for $269, saving yourself 10%.

LastPass vs Roboform by the Associated Press
Review: LastPass and Roboform take password management to the next level with online storage
Peter wisely discusses why the way most people store passwords is extremely insecure and espouses the benefits of password management applications. He covers how the new breed of password management applications are storing passwords encrypted online to allow universal access to your data.
From the article:
The [RoboForm] system is still cumbersome.
In providing an online storage option, Roboform is catching up to a new password management program, LastPass, that's designed from the ground up to store passwords online. Trying that, I found it slightly easier to use — at least, it didn't confront me with cryptic dialog boxes. It also has the virtue of being free, while Roboform costs $30.
Since LastPass is free and has the edge on browser and Mac compatibility, it should probably be your first pick.
26 comments:
I actually love the RoboForm software myself. I use it all of the time and it takes all of the menial everyday tasks that I have to perform on my computer daily and shortens them extremely! What once took me fifteen minutes to complete now takes me only one second because RoboForm does the same task with just one click. In fact I saw a Report about a lot of RoboForm's capabilities for use that aren't even touched on in the User's Manual for RoboForm. You can get that Report here:ReplyDelete
There is also a FREE version of RoboForm that you can download on this web page, just to test the RoboForm software out for yourself! I highly recommend it!
Omarra Byrd: we realize that you spam every website that mentions RoboForm with your report, but this is a new low, even for you.ReplyDelete
congrats for this nice AP article! You desserve it and LastPass save me time each day!ReplyDelete

"FYI we have banned this affiliate from our system"ReplyDelete
That's curious. If, of course, you're talking about Omarra Byrd.
I see that his website is still online, RoboForm can still be downloaded through his links, and he's still pedaling his $17 "RoboForm Report."
Not only is this supposedly banned "affiliate" still offering downloads of your product, he's still promoting his scam website and lining his pockets with his "The RoboForm Report! Affiliate Program!" and ebook sales.
Seems strange for an affiliate who's been banned. And even beyond that, I'm rather surprised to see how generous RoboForm is with their trademarks and copyrights.
- AnonymousAugust 17, 2009 at 6:58 PM
Maybe Simon would like to receive a commission of "75.00% on Level 1 (less processing fees)*" on the banned affiliate Mr Byrd's "The RoboForm Report! Affiliate Program!"ReplyDelete
This is great stuff! From the site:
Why such a high commission rate?
We pay 75.00% on Level 1 because we want to have as many people as we can promote our product. That way the word can get out to the most amount of people.
Who pays me?
We will pay you all your commissions via: PAYPAL .
When do I get paid?
Once a month ends it is closed. We will pay you all your commissions due between the 15th - 30th of the following month. We may pay sooner, but you can expect your commissions to come every 30 days.
How do I promote?
Once you become an affiliate you get your own "Affiliate Website" to promote. All you do is promote the unique URL that we give you. Then you can advertise it using your website, banners, your own opt-in list, etc... When people come here you get paid a whopping 75.00% on Level 1 commission on the sale of every The RoboForm Report!!
You've allowed yourself to become a joke, RF.
No match, LastPass wins. I was a "first day" user of RoboForm (was it 10 years or more ago?) and dropped it because had too many gimmicks and ended up by being a hassle. I find that using LasPass, Sxipper, FastDial and Morning Coffee with Firefox (beware to remain on 3.5 for now, or disable the security's check) makes working and fun an amazing experience. LastPass assessment that you need only ONE password is more than true.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 17, 2009 at 5:58 PM
Question. How does Lastpass make money?ReplyDelete
We have a premium offering that provides additional features including access on your mobile devices (iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Symbian (alpha), etc.). We also licence technology to resellers.ReplyDelete
Easy choice - LastPass. I've used RoboFrom and a bunch of others including online based methods and LastPass is by far the most full featured, low hassle, but secure method I have found.ReplyDelete

If it concerns safety of My Password...password man!! u said password? thats important man.ReplyDelete
Just because its free should be last on the merit list. I don't care if I've to press a few extra buttons for the security of the password. Never mind a little extra time; anyway we all waste quite a bit of hours just gaping at the screen!!
- Pentti /SwedenMarch 29, 2010 at 7:43 AM
I was a happy Roboform user until I decided to start using Linux more than a year ago. I asked Roboform when they are going to release a linux version of Roboform. The simple answer was: "Never gonna happen mate"ReplyDelete
So I started to look for other solutions and found Lastpass.
Lastpass does everything that Roboform does and more.
It is free.
Dont have to bring a USB anywhere.
And that was it. Bye bye Roboform. Lastpass is som much more convenient imo.
I even paid the $12 for the extra functionality just to support this great app.
I love LassPass, but it no longer works well with Firefox. Firefox hangs almost every time I enable the LassPass extension. I sent them a bug report as well as commented on their forum. Hope they get back to me soon as I can't live without them for very long.ReplyDelete
@David same issue here.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 10, 2010 at 10:20 PM
Are you running Linux? IF yes, what distro?
Try to:
1) Disable all other Firefox extensions in case another extension is the culprit.
2) Disable all non-default Firefox themes in case it is causing the issue.
3) If it still occurs, try this version:
4) If it still occurs, follow steps here:
I have been very satisfied user of Lastpass for (perhaps six?) months. With plenty of passwords of different grades and complexity, the sheer work of keeping them at hands was troublesome. You seem to have both a good, clean product plus nice helpdesk. I was caught in Twitter when mentioning Lastpass, and got help with it immediately from your helpdesk. Thanks!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 2, 2011 at 9:46 AM
I love Roboform. When I had just one computer it was fine. I loved their toolbar that had a quick search dropdown. I could quickly get to any site I wanted by typing a few chars.ReplyDelete
However what prompted me to switch to lastpass was that Roboform had no or limited support for other systems like linux and OS X. Their online offering wasn't that good either. I switched to lastpass and it's worked but I do think lastpass takes more effort when you need to browse for a password or lookup your credit card info. Too many clicks. Roboform was easier and that's what I miss and would go back to it if they were to significantly improve their online/multi-platform offering.
- AnonymousApril 15, 2011 at 8:04 PM
I am using Firefox 3.6.16, and have used Roboform for years (and years...).ReplyDelete
I'm completely open to trying LastPass, but I'm not sure how I would do that. I'd hate to lose every password I have. Is there an import function? Do I just install it on top of Roboform and then take RF off? Not sure how to try this.
I am a long-term RF Pro user (3 machines) but have become frustrated with its incompatibility with 64-bit IE so have been trialling LastPass for a couple of days and am very impressed.ReplyDelete
Re above comment from Anonymous,Siber Systems have made it difficult to transfer RF data to LastPass (they are obviously worried!). However, it is easy to use RF and LastPass together, transferring IDs and passwords to LastPass as you browse, a good way of thinning out your login database.

Anything that is paid or free come with good and bad results. Some paid don't work the way you expect them to. Some free works fine but doesn't work that great. I don't mind paying for Roboform if it does work wonders on my daily tasks and let me have more free time for myself.ReplyDelete

I have been a struggling Roboform user for over 5 years. I say struggling since their support is really pretty bad. And their software is clunky and personally find it a pain to use.ReplyDelete
Like most people it's tough and time consuming to switch and test out other services. UNTIL NOW! I'll tell you what LastPass is intuitive, quick n easy to use and I'm still using the FREE version I don't know how many passwords the free version takes or how it works on Iphone yet - that's really why I stopped by this site from a search today.
But, I'm sold - I'm a convert - Love the simplicity of LastPass and I'll be 100% switching as soon as I transfer all the logins I really use over to LastPass.
Here is my only suggestion for LastPass:
When you click on the last pass Icon on the menu bar - then click on SITES - you need to scroll all the way to the bottom to manually Add a Site... I just wish this were at the Top of the list too.
But, if you are using another Password program - I suggest giving this one a try - its really nice.
- AnonymousJuly 9, 2013 at 6:24 PM
Really why would anybody in their right mind want to save passwords on the cloud or on someone else's server you don't think they will get hacked please I have a bridge to sell you Last Pass is for people to lazy or just don't really care about their passwords.ReplyDelete

Neo® Sans font family
Designed by Sebastian Lester in 2004
"I was left with a sketchbook full of ideas and thought it would be a shame not to see what came of them," says Lester. He decided to finish the design on his own.
Lester's research confirmed that the principal ingredient of an "ultra modern" typeface was simplicity of character structure: a carefully drawn, monoline form, open letter shapes and smooth, strong curves. To conceive a typeface that crossed the line from modern to futuristic, Lester decided to amplify these qualities.
About a year after Lester's initial conceptual work, two highly functional and versatile typefaces emerged. These are Neo Sans and
Both the Neo Sans and the more-minimalist Neo Tech families are available in six weights, ranging from Light to Ultra. Each has a companion italic, and Neo Tech offers a suite of alternate characters.
While engineered to look modern as tomorrow, Neo Sans and Neo Tech display the functional and aesthetic excellence that earns them a place in the list of classic designs from the Monotype typeface library."

Delve into a world of intrigue, magic and mystery in Kilkenny city. We've got five to get you started…
A 12th-century castle for £50? Only in Kilkenny.
The city's famous Norman Castle was home to the Butlers of Ormonde for nearly five centuries, before the 6th Marquess of Ormonde offered it to the city of Kilkenny for £50 in 1967!
A tour will bring you to the Picture Gallery Win, and around the nooks and crannies of the library, with its psychedelic colour scheme. Don't feel like doing a tour? No problem: 500 years of history is condensed into a 12-minute film in the Medieval Room in the South Tower, and it's free – you only pay to go into the rest of the castle.
The ancient Irish game of hurling has long links with Kilkenny ("Go the Cats"). The county's team colours – black and amber – will often be seen on flags flying from every window and car. If you want to get under the skin of the sport, then hook up with The Ultimate Hurling Experience Tour. Rated five out of five on TripAdvisor, the tour gives a great insight into the game of hurling, which according to tour guide Jim Croke has been compared to a "mixture of ice hockey and murder".
After an explanation of the rules, he brings you to an impeccably manicured pitch, hands you a genuine ash hurley stick and a hard leather stitched ball known as a sliotar – the rest is up to you.
The 13th-century Black Abbey is a world of candlelit serenity, with the largest rosary window of its kind in Ireland. Depicting the life of Christ, it contains an astonishing 10,000 pieces of ruby and sapphire glass – all taken out and restored by the Abbey Stained-Glass Company. That's a jigsaw we're glad they called in the experts for.
Just a short distance from Black Abbey is the medieval jewellery box of Rothe House and Garden, a restored 16th-century Tudor home, where archaeologists recently found the remains of an earlier medieval townhouse (thought to be the "city pad" of the Abbot of nearby Duiske Abbey).
More specifically, they found the Abbot's toilet, which revealed how he liked to spend his downtime. It turns out this guy lived pretty well, dining on swan and T-Bone steaks and washing it down with his favourite Bordeaux – we like his style.
Artists and craftspeople work in studios all around Kilkenny city. Renowned potter Nicholas Mosse creates his elegant pieces here, and the Kilkenny Design Centre anchors the city's retail scene with a stunning collection of jewellery, knitwear, Celtic gifts, china, crystal and pottery.
And don't miss the National Craft Gallery at Castle Yard, previously home to the stables and coach houses of Kilkenny Castle, where you can watch clay workers in action, or have a go yourself.

I have never (in all my years) heard a gasp as loud as the one that rippled through the audience when the curtain went up at the start of the Louis Vuitton show to reveal a full sized carousel, painted all in white, with 48 models in the new spring summer collection perched on top of the horses. I promise I am not exaggerating (well, maybe only the teeniest bit) when I say it was as close as any of us have got to a celestial vision. All that and Kate Moss too, who only walks for Marc these days and when she asked if she could close the show…….well how could he refuse.
Music as delicate as a child's music box accompanied the models as the merry go round started up and each one of them hopped off their 'galopping' horse to make an individual round of the circular stage.
The rumours that an announcement about Marc Jacob's move to Dior is imminent just won't go away. It was widely discussed as we filed into the venue, that the powers that be would most likely wait for the Vuitton reviews to come in before anything was said, lest an announcement steal the thunder from what is one of the most anticipated and most expensively produced shows on the Paris calendar. 'Early next week,' said one internet pundit with mock authority. 'I hazard they'll want to give the all important US newspapers time to get back behind their desks,' said another. 'They', of course, is Bernard Arnault, mighty chairman of LVMH the most powerful luxury goods group in the world who is often referred to in the plural. It is he who owns both Louis Vuitton and Dior as well as myriad other brands.
Marc was bombarded by journalists after the show, all of whom had been warned that if they mentioned the 'D' word he would be whisked away forthwith. Another rumour had it that negotiations had ground to a halt because Marc was insisting his entire Vuitton creative team came with him. Whatever the situation, it was an emotional Marc who said, 'I'm so proud of the teams we've got here. I couldn't do any of this without them. I could never do this anywhere else, do you know what I mean?'
Was this show a highly polished audition for one of the biggest jobs in the fashion world? You can judge as well as me. But it certainly was an exquisite antidote to the doom and gloom that, these days, seems impossible to escape. Light as air dresses in sorbet colours created an image of almost cartoon femininity. If the models had drifted off like Disney Tinkerbells, I am not sure any of us would have been that surprised. It was a world away from the gritty realities of budgets and employment figures and debt crises and recession. Fashion heaven would surely look like this.
Silhouettes sat away from the body creating a girlish lightness. Shoulder lines were delicate. Waists sat easily (a far cry from the S+M cinch of last season). A baby blue short sleeved sweater had a lace Peter Pan collar and was worn with a demure knee length pencil skirt in apricot crepe. A lemon yellow jacket with white lace collar was cropped at the waist of a matching bell shaped skirt. Guipure lace was overlaid with organza. Daisies studded with crystal decorated a knee length cotton shift. A coat, cut like an extended biker jacket, had attitude but nothing edgy about it cut in palest peppermint stamped leather.
Mini shoppers in the style of children's plastic baskets were laser cut leather. Shoes were high heeled ankle slimming mules. And hair was decorated with delicate alice bands that twinkled with a sprinkling of crystals. It was impeccable. We wanted it all. 'I want it all too,' beamed one enthusiastic retailer, 'every single piece. But I have to warn you the prices make Balmain look like bargains at New Look.'
Can someone please get to grips with this blasted backsliding recession so we can shop again? So many divine dresses: so many deserving women.

In terms of +hit and +expertise, you seems good to me. Your avoidance seems rather low to me. You may want to enchant the rest of your gear. That'll help a bit in that area
So I was looking at Elitest jerks and found two specs. one for single target and one for Aoe and trash pulls. Pretty much what my secondary spec is , a "Healer Helper" spec imo .
But i was using my single target build the whole time and on bosses and trash i was loosing threat to this group in vortex pinnicle heroic. And im worried because my guild is planning a 10man raid today , and i want to see whats wrong .
want to know if im gemming, reforging right and what i can do to keep threat, and to see if my gear is fine and my stats .
In terms of +hit and +expertise, you seems good to me. Your avoidance seems rather low to me. You may want to enchant the rest of your gear. That'll help a bit in that area
yeah i enchanted a bit more just to get some bonus even if they are low enchants. And I was thinking that avoidance would come with gear . but i know that a friend is gemming avoidance to around atleast 15% parry and dodge, but he is a death knight . so im not sure if its any different.
don't gem for avoidance, gear for mastery and stamina first and foremost, hit and expertise that comes on gear is good but the priority are mastery and stamina for maximum survivability. proper rotation and spec will make a bigger change to your threat than the threat stats, especially since vengeance gives us such large tps/dps gains.
So Kaz, What my gear looks like atm is fine the way it is ?
no, you currently have a lot of stuff reforged for hit and/or dodge, reforge for mastery where possible, and where you can't (there is already mastery on the piece) you CAN reforge for expertise or hit. you want to reforge your stats so that your dodge/parry are as close to each other in terms of stats, while getting as much mastery as possible because you gain more from mastery than you do from dodge/parry due to diminishing returns, and it smooths damage instead of making you take 0 0 0 big hit.
so if it dosn't have mastery i want to reforge my dodge/hit to mastery and if it does i CAN reforge to expertise and hit?
don't reforge the MASTERY to hit/expertise, you CAN reforge dodge/parry to expertise/hit IF you feel you need it, but right now, I'd say keeping dodge/parry is probably better!
ahh I see .So i should clear all my reforged gear right now. to see the normal stats?
Also what stats am i reforging to MASTERY . ? Dodge / parry or another stat ?
yes, dodge/parry to mastery, if an item has both dodge and parry on it, pick the one that will best balance your dodge/parry to be as close to equal as possible.
alright thanks kaz, ill try this out .

Indonesia is a Rorschach test of islands between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, a nation of roughly 230 million sliced in two by the equator. There are dozens of resorts peppered across its shores, but the real action is in the south, and, more specifically, on the island of Bali. Here, a virtually limitless number of infinity-edge pools, white sand beaches, and luxury villas await the savvy traveler, with more water sports than you can shake a paddle at (scuba-diving, snorkeling, sailing, and fishing are just the beginning).
Equally worth mentioning is Bali's unique and artistic culture, a short resort-arranged bus ride from most of the island's accommodations. Painting, sculpture, woodcarving, handcrafts, music, and costume are all hallmarks of this majority Hindu culture.

Moura Lympany – The HMV Recordings, 1947-1952
APR6011 for the price of 1 — Download only
Movement 1: Allegro con fuoco
Movement 2: Scherzo: Presto
Movement 3: Adagio religioso
Movement 4: Allegro impetuoso
The first movement, Allegro con fuoco, retains the double exposition structure seen in the second concerto. Each exposition adopts transformation and inversion and uses the thematic material sequentially. The Scherzo (Presto) is again the second movement, and its use of triangle and piccolo gives it a novel effect, helping to fulfil the generic meaning of the title 'Concerto Symphonique'. Litolff's manipulation of the orchestra and piano in question-and-answer type motifs produces one of his finest Scherzos.
The third movement (Adagio religioso) is linked to the second without pause and serves as the modulating force from D minor to F major. In three-part form, the third movement is improvisational in character. The final Allegro impetuoso has an introduction followed by a carefully worked-out sonata structure with some tempo changes within the movement. The virtuosic conclusion, with its flourishes and bravura character, underscores Litolff's coloristic use of the piano and the orchestra.
The concerto is scored for two flutes, piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani and strings.

5 Stars with an explanation ... I picked this baby up as a deeply discounted blemished model. Came in a solid (made in Vietnam) case ... very nice ... opened the case, and I was stunned. It was gorgeous! Gloss arctic white body, with a pearloid pickguard, set against a rosewood / maple, fretboard / neck with chrome hardware and black knobs. The stock tuners are accurate, and give a vintage look. It weighs 8.25 lbs, which compared to a les Paul ain't bad ... overall ... instant love. . So at first glance I could find no blemish! Then I examined it ... Found a blob of finish on the fret board, fret ends needed filing and it needed a MAJOR set-up. So ... I got to work. Fixed the frets. Changed the strings to D'Addario 10 gauge NYXL's, adjusted the relief, set the string height (to get rid of all the buzz I had to set it at just over 4/64's, which is OK), set the humbucker height ... it became playable but ... didn't sound great. WTH! Humbuckers were hot enough, 250k pots were fine, there were no grounding issues ... but it lacked mids and lows though it had plenty of fender zing ... The cure ... string saver classic saddles 2 1/16 spread. The stock bent steel saddles it comes with are worthless junk ... Now it sounds great! Not only are there mids and lows but sustain was greatly improved... I took off the metric black toggle switch tip and put on a white one. I also swapped out the black witch hats for jazz master white ones (Not only do they look better but they are easier to read) ... The guitar now plays like butter, sounds awesome, and looks great. On the one hand, I wish fender Mexico (or the vendor I bought it from) gave a hoot about quality control ... But if they did I never would have been able to buy this guitar. So what's the moral? If you are handy at modding gits and can find this guy at a discount then jump on it like arctic white on a tele deluxe!

So far it's one of the most comfortable and best sounding guitar i have ever played. It's been just over a year now since i bought this baby, and damn it sounds great . Just right for genres like hard rock, punk rock and some classic rock styles. Also you get really good clean tones with this baby. The only issue i had with this guitar so far was when i first bought it , the toggle switch was kinda on/off sometimes , but as i started using the switch more often the problem went away. (I think the switch may have been a bit moist inside because it was new). Anyway since then i have had no issues and the guitar performs very well on stage. It has got huge sustain which is very impressive. I haven't changed the strings for a year now, thanks to the hard case that comes with it, the strings have not rusted and are still going could you believe :D I hope in the future that fender also introduces a signature model of Josh Farro's deluxe telecaster with the fake f-hole, that would be super cool :)) Keep it coming Fender® ..!!!

I just bought this guitar used last weekend, and I am absolutely impressed with it. I am not a huge fan of 21 fret necks for some reason ( most just don't feel right for my tastes/ playing style ), and I knew this puppy had a 21 fret neck before I got it, but so far this week, this has been my favorite guitar. Size, shape, weight, the neck on this thing is incredible; and I hate to admit it but it actually plays slightly better than my Les Paul Studio!! The pickups are great to, good tone and punch with out being over-bearing at all. All in all, I would give this guitar an 8.9/10

At first (based on the other reviews) this Tele didn't seem to be very good but to fully test that theory I bought one. I was very surprised. This guitar was really good but the only thing is the neck was a little heavy and so was the body, other than that I would recommend this guitar!

It's very rare for me to buy a guitar without having played it, a fact that I am sure rings true for most of us. Even less likely is that I will buy a guitar that I have never seen in all three wonderful dimensions, touched, or heard beyond the realms of a YouTube video. I'm not sure which concerned me the most, that this incredible guitar and I had never crossed paths, or that the computer screen before me inspired hope into this Fender-less Guitarist - that I may actually be able to afford a REAL Fender. Not only that, a Fender which proudly boasted gorgeous looks, a diverse plethora of tones, and all packaged beautifully into a '72 Tele that was designed not only to be played, but to be rocked very, VERY loudly - swoon.
All sound too good to be true? Reading some of the other reviews on this page, this has been the case for some. The fact of the matter is £550 for an artist series Fender is a steal, and Fender need to meet this price point without sacrificing anything that affects the enjoyment of this fine instrument. Wiring. The horror stories some people recite in regards to the wiring on this guitar are more than enough to discourage potential buyers, although it is important to take a step back and see what is on offer here: A Fender '72 Telecaster with custom CS1 and CS2 pickups, a rosewood fretboard, cutaway body and a hard case. If Fender sold this guitar for £1000, nobody would bat an eyelid (ok, some purists may prefer it was crafted north of the border, but each to their own). Fender need to find a way to sell this guitar for almost half of that, and unfortunately it seems cutting out (!) the wiring seems to have helped them do so. Likewise to 'flatout', I too had my guitar tech open this beauty up and work his magic - since then I have not been happier.

i used to own this telecaster, had it for 3 months and then decided to trade it in. It had a too large and heavy neck/ body. It didn't feel right and just didn't give enough of a funky and warm sound. I went for a hss strat.

Every bit of excitement I had when I first bought this item has completely been extinguished. As the previous review mentions the bridge pickup constantly grounds out and even after taking it back to the store to have the tech "fix" it the issue started occurring not 30 minutes after getting all the way back home.
For a brand that is so revered as Fender's I really expected better quality. I have owned guitars from other manufactures on both ends of the price spectrum for many years and I have never had any wiring issues.
Don't get me wrong when the thing works it sounds and plays great, but so far I've had it working for me a total of 30 minutes at best. Until Fender issues a recall to fix this issue, I'd avoid buying it.

I love my bandmate's 72 tele deluxe, but I prefer a four bolt neck plate, a 9.5 radius rosewood 'board, and I've never felt the wide range humbuckers were as suited to my playing style as more traditional humbuckers. It's also quite costly - around £720 in the UK. So when the 'Shiftycaster' was released for £510, I ordered one without having played it.
I'm a Foo Fighters fan, but I've never been fussed about signature models - I'm only interested if the spec is right. This struck me as having all the right bits, so I was looking forward to opening the box back in November when it arrived.
I ordered over the internet, and when it arrived it was clear from the packaging that it hadn't been disturbed since it left Mexico. The case is made by the same firm that makes the tweed vintage reissue cases, and it's excellent. The guitar is beautiful, with a really comfortable neck and a thoroughly pleasing tone. However, there were issues. There were some very untidy fret ends, the nut wasn't well cut, the intonation was all over the place and the selector switch would only intermittently select the neck pickup. As it happens I have a reasonably priced genius guitar tech near me, so £40 later, I have a perfect guitar. I've done around twelve gigs with it over the ten weeks I've had it, and I'm really pleased.
All things considered, I regard a £550 outlay for a guitar this good as great value. There are two spec departures from Shiflett's stage tele - he has a maple board and I'm glad the signature has rosewood. His guitar also has a silver pearl pickguard, and I'm not sure why a white pearl guard was put on the signature - but I've decided to go the whole hog and I'm having a silver pearl one made - but that's just a taste thing. If you're happy to do a little work on the guitar when it arrives, this is a brilliant buy.

Upcoming USA Crits
July 5, 2010 at 9:43 pm 4 comments
Capital Criterium, July 11, 2010
Yes, that is a crit course located just two blocks from the White House, and yes if everything falls into place I will be racing it on Sunday! Excited is an understatement!!! But first, I'll be racing the Ironhill Twilight criterium on Saturday in West Chester, PA before heading down to DC to race the Capital Crit on Sunday. Both crits are part of the USA crits series, where I am currently 6th overall, which hopefully means I'll get a call-up to the start line at one or both races. Stay tuned for updates.

Every year thousands of visitors to Alberta, Canada, motor west from Calgary into the Rocky Mountains, heading for the high-profile destinations of Banff and Lake Louise. After traveling for 50 miles along the Trans-Canada Highway into the scenic splendor of the Bow River Valley, they come to the off-ramp for Canmore. They might wonder what the town has to offer but feel they can�t stop because they have their sights set on the posh resorts and palatial hotels ahead.
By Sandra ScottCreators SyndicateThe Un-Cruise�s Safari Explorer is for people like me who never had the urge to go on a cruise ship that resembles a huge floating resort village.
Sometimes, what�s on the magazine racks in supermarket checkout lines are more than tabloid fodder. Instead, they might just contain the solution to get you out of a pickle.

6.a. Chrooting
Optional: Selecting Mirrors
In order to download source code quickly it is recommended to select a fast
mirror. Portage will look in your make.conf file for the
GENTOO_MIRRORS variable and use the mirrors listed therein. You can surf to
our mirror list and search
for a mirror (or mirrors) close to you (as those are most frequently the
fastest ones), but we provide a nice tool called mirrorselect which
provides you with a nice interface to select the mirrors you want. Just
navigate to the mirrors of choice and press spacebar to select one or more
Code Listing 1.1: Using mirrorselect for the GENTOO_MIRRORS variable
# mirrorselect -i -o >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/make.conf
A second important setting is the SYNC setting in make.conf. This
variable contains the rsync server you want to use when updating your Portage
tree (the collection of ebuilds, scripts containing all the information Portage
needs to download and install software). Although you can manually enter a SYNC
server for yourself, mirrorselect can ease that operation for you:
Code Listing 1.2: Selecting an rsync mirror using mirrorselect
# mirrorselect -i -r -o >> /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/make.conf
After running mirrorselect it is adviseable to double-check the settings
in /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage/make.conf !
If you want to manually set a SYNC server in make.conf, you should
check out the community mirrors
list for the mirrors closest to you. We recommend choosing a
rotation, such as rsync.us.gentoo.org, rather than choosing a
single mirror. This helps spread out the load and provides a failsafe in case a
specific mirror is offline.
Copy DNS Info
One thing still remains to be done before we enter the new environment and that
is copying over the DNS information in /etc/resolv.conf. You need
to do this to ensure that networking still works even after entering the new
environment. /etc/resolv.conf contains the nameservers for your
Code Listing 1.3: Copy over DNS information
(The "-L" option is needed to make sure we don't copy a symbolic link)
# cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/
Mounting the necessary Filesystems
In a few moments, we will change the Linux root towards the new location. To
make sure that the new environment works properly, we need to make certain file
systems available there as well.
Mount the /proc filesystem on /mnt/gentoo/proc to
allow the installation to use the kernel-provided information within the
chrooted environment, and then mount-bind the /dev and
/sys filesystems.
Code Listing 1.4: Mounting /proc and /dev
# mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
# mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
# mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
When using non-Gentoo installation media, this might not be sufficient.
Some distributions make /dev/shm a symbolic link to
/run/shm which, after the chroot, becomes invalid. Making
/dev/shm a proper tmpfs-mount up front can fix this.
Entering the new Environment
Now that all partitions are initialized and the base environment
installed, it is time to enter our new installation environment by
chrooting into it. This means that we change from the current
installation environment (Installation CD or other installation medium) to your
installation system (namely the initialized partitions).
This chrooting is done in three steps. First we will change the root
from / (on the installation medium) to /mnt/gentoo
(on your partitions) using chroot. Then we will reload some settings, as
provided by /etc/profile, in memory using source.
The last step is to redefine the primary prompt to help us remember that we are
inside a chroot environment.
Code Listing 1.5: Chrooting into the new environment
# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# source /etc/profile
# export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
Congratulations! You are now inside your own Gentoo Linux environment.
Of course it is far from finished, which is why the installation still
has some sections left :-)
If you at any time would need another terminal or console to access the chroot
environment, all you need to do is to execute the above steps again.
6.b. Configuring Portage
Installing a Portage Snapshot
You now have to install a Portage snapshot, a collection of files that inform
Portage what software titles you can install, which profiles are available, etc.
We recommend the use of emerge-webrsync. This will fetch the latest
portage snapshot (which Gentoo releases on a daily basis) from one of our mirrors
and install it onto your system.
Code Listing 2.1: Running emerge-webrsync to install a Portage snapshot
# emerge-webrsync
During this operation, emerge-webrsync might complain about a missing
/usr/portage location. This is to be expected and nothing to
worry about - the tool will create the location for us.
From this point onward, Portage might mention that certain updates are
recommended to be executed. This is because certain system packages
installed through the stage3 file might have newer versions available,
and Portage is now aware of this because a new Portage snapshot is installed.
You can safely ignore this for now and update after the Gentoo installation
has finished.
Optional: Updating the Portage tree
You can now update your Portage tree to the latest version. emerge
--sync will use the rsync protocol to update the Portage tree (which
you fetched earlier on through emerge-webrsync) to the latest state.
Code Listing 2.2: Updating the Portage tree
# emerge --sync
(If you're using a slow terminal like some framebuffers or a serial
console, you can add the --quiet option to speed up this process:)
# emerge --sync --quiet
If you are behind a firewall that blocks rsync traffic, you safely ignore this
step as you already have a quite up-to-date Portage tree.
If you are warned that a new Portage version is available and that you should
update Portage, you should do it now using emerge --oneshot portage. You
might also be notified that "news items need reading". More on that next.
Reading News Items
When a Portage tree is synchronized to your system, Portage might warn you with
the following:
Code Listing 2.3: Portage informing that news items are available
* IMPORTANT: 2 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news to read news items.
Portage news items were created to provide a communication medium to push
critical messages to users via the rsync tree. To manage them you will need to
use eselect news. With the read subcommand, you can read all news
items. With list you can get an overview of the available news items, and
with purge you can remove them once you have read them and have no
further need for the item(s) anymore.
Code Listing 2.4: Handling Portage news
# eselect news list
# eselect news read
More information about the newsreader is available through its manual page:
man news.eselect.
Choosing the Right Profile
First, a small definition is in place.
A profile is a building block for any Gentoo system. Not only does it specify
default values for USE, CFLAGS and other important variables, it also locks
the system to a certain range of package versions. This is all maintained by the
Gentoo developers.
Previously, such a profile was untouched by the users. However, there may be
certain situations in which you may decide a profile change is necessary.
You can see what profile you are currently using with the following command:
The output of the command below is just an example and evolves over time.
Code Listing 2.5: Verifying system profile
# eselect profile list
Available profile symlink targets:
[1] default/linux/x86/13.0 *
[2] default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop
[3] default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop/gnome
[4] default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop/kde
As you can see, there are also desktop subprofiles available for some
architectures. Running eselect profile list will show all available
After viewing the available profiles for your architecture, you can use a
different one if you wish:
Code Listing 2.6: Changing profiles
# eselect profile set 2
The developer subprofile is specifically for Gentoo Linux development
tasks. It is not meant to help set up general development environments.
Configuring the USE variable
USE is one of the most powerful variables Gentoo provides to its users.
Several programs can be compiled with or without optional support for certain
items. For instance, some programs can be compiled with gtk-support, or with
qt-support. Others can be compiled with or without SSL support. Some programs
can even be compiled with framebuffer support (svgalib) instead of X11 support
Most distributions compile their packages with support for as much as possible,
increasing the size of the programs and startup time, not to mention an enormous
amount of dependencies. With Gentoo you can define what options a package
should be compiled with. This is where USE comes into play.
In the USE variable you define keywords which are mapped onto
compile-options. For instance, ssl will compile ssl-support in the
programs that support it. -X will remove X-server support (note the
minus sign in front). gnome gtk -kde -qt4 will compile your
programs with gnome (and gtk) support, and not with kde (and qt) support,
making your system fully tweaked for GNOME.
The default USE settings are placed in the make.defaults
files of your profile. You will find make.defaults files in the
directory which /etc/portage/make.profile points to and all parent
directories as well. The default USE setting is the sum of all USE
settings in all make.defaults files. What you place in
/etc/portage/make.conf is calculated against these defaults
settings. If you add something to the USE setting, it is added to the
default list. If you remove something from the USE setting (by placing
a minus sign in front of it) it is removed from the default list (if it was
in the default list at all). Never alter anything inside the
/etc/portage/make.profile directory; it gets overwritten when
you update Portage!
A full description on USE can be found in the second part of the Gentoo
Handbook, USE flags. A full description on
the available USE flags can be found on your system in
Code Listing 2.7: Viewing available USE flags
# less /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc
(You can scroll using your arrow keys, exit by pressing 'q')
As an example we show a USE setting for a KDE-based system with DVD, ALSA
and CD Recording support:
Code Listing 2.8: Opening /etc/portage/make.conf
# nano -w /etc/portage/make.conf
Code Listing 2.9: USE setting
USE="-gtk -gnome qt4 kde dvd alsa cdr"
6.c. Optional: Using systemd
The remainder of the Gentoo Handbook focuses on OpenRC as the default init
support system. If you want to use systemd instead, or are planning to use Gnome
3.8 and later (which requires systemd), please consult the systemd page on
the Gentoo wiki as it elaborates on the different configuration settings and
The Gentoo Handbook can then be followed with that page in mind.
6.d. Timezone
Finally select your timezone so that your system knows where it is physically
located. Look for your timezone in /usr/share/zoneinfo, then
write it in the /etc/timezone file.
Code Listing 4.1: Setting the timezone information
# ls /usr/share/zoneinfo
(Suppose you want to use Europe/Brussels)
# echo "Europe/Brussels" > /etc/timezone
Please avoid the /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT* timezones as their
names do not indicate the expected zones. For instance, GMT-8 is
in fact GMT+8.
Next, reconfigure the timezone-data package, which will update the
/etc/localtime file for us, based on the /etc/timezone
entry. The /etc/localtime file is used by the system C library
to know the timezone the system is in.
Code Listing 4.2: Reconfiguring timezone-data
# emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data
6.e. Configure locales
You will probably only use one or maybe two locales on your system. You have to
specify locales you will need in /etc/locale.gen.
Code Listing 5.1: Opening /etc/locale.gen
# nano -w /etc/locale.gen
The following locales are an example to get both English (United States) and
German (Germany) with the accompanying character formats (like UTF-8).
Code Listing 5.2: Specify your locales
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
de_DE ISO-8859-1
de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
You can select your desired locales in the list given by running locale -a.
We strongly suggest that you should use at least one UTF-8 locale because some
applications may require it.
The next step is to run locale-gen. It will generate all the locales you
have specified in the /etc/locale.gen file.
Code Listing 5.3: Running locale-gen
# locale-gen
You can verify that your selected locales are available by running locale -a.
Once done, you now have the possibility to set the system-wide locale settings.
With eselect locale list, the available targets are displayed:
Code Listing 5.4: Displaying the available LANG settings
# eselect locale list
Available targets for the LANG variable:
[3] en_US
[4] en_US.iso88591
[5] en_US.utf8
[6] de_DE
[7] de_DE.iso88591
[8] de_DE.iso885915
[9] de_DE.utf8
[ ] (free form)
With eselect locale set <value> the correct locale can be set:
Code Listing 5.5: Setting the LANG variable
# eselect locale set 9
Manually, this can still be accomplished through the
/etc/env.d/02locale file:
Code Listing 5.6: Setting the default system locale in /etc/env.d/02locale
Make sure a locale is set, as you could otherwise get warnings and errors
during kernel builds and other software deployments later in the installation.
Don't forget to reload your environment:
Code Listing 5.7: Reload shell environment
# env-update && source /etc/profile
We made a full Localization
Guide to help you through this process. You can also read the detailed
UTF-8 article for very specific
informations to enable UTF-8 on your system.

After installing and configuring a stage3, the eventual result is that you
have a Gentoo base system at your disposal. This chapter describes how
to progress to that state.

Reconsidering Resource Adequacy, Part 1
Has the one-day-in-10-years criterion outlived its usefulness?
customers and the highest values for small commercial and industrial customers. However, outage cost surveys generally don't account for whether customers with the highest VOLL have installed back-up power. A U.S. Department of Energy report in 2006 stated that a VOLL representing an average value in the range of $2,000 to $5,000/MWh is the "accepted industry practice." 6 Based on these and other reviews, values can range from $2,000 to $20,000/MWh, but values in the $3,000 to $5,000/MWh range are considered most appropriate for analysis.
Capacity reserve costs, including the net cost of new capacity (net CONE), also factor into the 1-in-10 criterion's economic analysis. The marginal cost of additional reserve capacity can be represented by the annualized cost of building and maintaining the least expensive form of reliable peaking capacity, usually considered to be a gas-fired combustion turbine. Values recently developed by PJM for use in its reliability pricing model (RPM) capacity mechanism can be used. While marginal capacity resources cannot expect much in the way of energy and ancillary services earnings, estimates of such net earnings reduce the cost of capacity and therefore factor into the analysis. The values used by PJM during the past year have ranged from roughly $70,000/MW-year to $130,000/MW-year on a levelized basis, with the range primarily reflecting the timing of the cost estimate (with lower estimates from 2005 and 2006, and higher estimates from 2008) and also location. 7 Energy and ancillary services earnings are estimated to range from approximately $10,000/MW-year to $50,000/MW-year in various locations in recent years. This suggests a net capacity cost (net CONE) range from about $40,000/MW-year to $120,000/MW-year. While the upper end of this range reflects the more recent data (but before the impacts of the 2009 recession on these costs), PJM's capacity auction in 2008 cleared at a price close to the low end of this range, and its 2010 auction cleared at an even lower price.
Benefit vs. Cost
If the 1-in-10 criterion is being met ( i.e., the LOLE totals 0.1 events or less per year), the last MW of reserve capacity has a 10-percent chance of being needed to avoid or reduce an outage in any year. To determine the potential lost load precluded by an incremental MW ( i.e., to determine its marginal benefit), the appropriate geographic scope of the analysis must be identified. An incremental MW helps avoid or reduce load loss in all areas to which it is likely to be incrementally deliverable in the peak hours when the load loss might occur; so an incremental MW located within a transmission-constrained subarea helps avoid curtailment both within and outside the constrained area, while a MW located outside the constrained area cannot be counted on to help reduce load loss within the constrained area.
An assumption regarding the average duration of an outage also is required. An estimated five-hour duration for a typical rotating outage is based on review of hourly load shapes in a few areas of the country. Load levels tend to rise during the morning and afternoon and fall during the

After a lengthy absence, the Telecaster Bass has made a welcome return in new and varied forms. Quite apart from the original models of the late 1960s and early 1970s (1951-style Precisions in all but name, basically), today's stylish and powerful Telecaster basses offer everything from a dual-humbucking take on the venerable 1972 model to entirely new Squier editions based on the actual Telecaster guitar body style.
The Telecaster Bass was introduced in 1968 as a largely straightforward reissue of the 1951-style Precision Bass, and redesigned in 1972 with a large humbucking pickup. Discontinued in 1979, Telecaster basses weren't seen again until 2007, when Squier introduced a 1972-style model, and 2011, when Fender introduced a re-designed version with dual humbucking pickups. Squier models introduced in 2012 were the first-ever Telecaster basses to feature a body design based on the Telecaster guitar.
Whether traditional or modern, Telecaster basses feature the classic Telecaster headstock shape.
For pure and powerful tone, Telecaster basses still feature both single-coil and humbucking pickups.
Telecaster basses feature strong, smooth-playing maple necks and fingerboards.

Green Valley Ranch Golf Club is tucked away in a small valley that winds through the scenic prairie wetlands. The golf course has a diverse landscape of towering cottonwoods, meandering creeks and shoulder-high native grasses. The carefully sculpted fairways and greens were designed to fit right into the landscape. The scenic land that the golf course inhabits is state protected and the designer of the course, Perry Dye, took great care in creating a design that blended seamlessly with nature. Green Valley Ranch Golf Club is also home to a par-3 golf course that serves as an excellent practice round.
