Synth Explorer – Jupiter-6: samples that pay tribute to legendary synths and drum machines
Loopmasters has launched Synth Explorer – Jupiter-6, the first title in a new series of royalty free loops and one shot samples that pay tribute to legendary synthesizers and drum machines.
First up for the Synth Explorer collection is the classic Roland Jupiter 6. First introduced to the world in 1983 the Jupiter 6 was one of the first analogue synthesisers to adopt MIDI and is considered to be a solid 12 oscillator analogue workhorse with a distinctive but fully capable palette of sounds ranging from Ambient Drones, Smooth Pads, Analog Leads to Techy Blips and Noises.
Synth Explorer – Jupiter 6 has been produced using a mint condition Roland Jupiter 6 owned by one careful, well known producer, recorded live through a TL Audio C-1 dual valve compressor and a Neve 8801 channel strip to capture the pure sonic delight of this vintage synth beauty.
This edition of Vintage Explorer sees a wealth of Loop and one shot samples aimed towards the soulful spectrums of electronic music production with a slight angle towards Italo Disco, Funk, Nu Disco and Deep House as well as more experimental down tempo genres.
Synth Explorer Jupiter-6 features
- 356 MB content, 24-bit quality.
- Includes 41 arp loops, 24 music loops, 25 bass loops, 16 bass multi samples, 37 sfx hits, 41 chord hits, 34 synth stabs.
- 90 REX2 files.
- 114 soft sampler patches for Kontakt, HALion, EXS24, NN-XT and sfz formats.
The sample pack is available for purchase for £14.95 GBP.
Vintage Oberheim Two Voice Demo
This is a demonstration of the Oberheim Two Voice vintage analog synthesizer!
Oberheim's first synthesizer was a single-voice mini-module called a SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module). However, in 1975, Oberheim created their first compact, programmable and polyphonic synthesizer by coupling two SEM modules to a 37-note keyboard and a simple analog sequencer. This was what became the Two Voice. Oberheim achieved a polyphonic sound not yet seen in ARP and Moog gear at the time by hard-wiring the two monophonic SEMs into the compact keyboard design.
In 1976 Oberheim came out with another module, the Polyphonic Synthesizer Programmer. This could memorize the control voltages of many parameters for up to eight SEM modules. When these were added to the Two Voice, Oberheim finally had one of the earliest programmable and polyphonic instruments! Released alongside the Two Voice also came the Four Voice which had four SEMs installed, and a larger 49-note keyboard. And later, in 1977, a second tier was added above the four SEMs on the Four Voice to add yet another four SEMS, making the Eight Voice.
Two voices was great in 1975, and eight voices was pretty monstrous in the later seventies. But, a major drawback to these first Oberheim synths was that polyphony was achieved by having multiple modules. This meant that each voice had to be independently programmed. This also means that each voice has its own filter, making real-time filter sweeps of all your voices more than a handful! Fortunately the sequencer comes in handy for controlling each voice/module independently.
Despite its innovative features, the Two Voice was soon blown out of the water by the popular monophonic and truly polyphonic synths like the OSCar, ARP Odyssey and SH-101.
Sounds of the vintage ARP QUADRA
all sounds: ARP QUADRA Analog Synthesizer (1979)
first demo of all four synth sections (Strings and Phase Shifter, Poly-Synth, Bass-Synth, Lead-Synth)
no multitracking, no midi
The Quadra is pretty much a hybrid version of ARP's Omni II and Solus synths. It's a four-section synthesizer consisting of a Bass synth, Poly synth, Lead synth, and String synth. It is quite good at emulating each of these sounds and can function in any of its four modes at a time with the ability of layering the different sections! Sounds you create in any of the four sections are instantly recalled from memory by the push of a button! There are 16 program patches for storing your sounds. Other major features are the incredible phase shifter, tons of balanced audio outputs for each section, dual portamento controls and a superior arpeggiator…that's pretty good for 1978! On the downside, it has a fragile mylar front panel, very limited programability and a weird feature that autotunes the keys to play weird intervals.
The Bass synth section is monophonic and can be programmed to occupy the lower two octaves of the Quadra's 5-octave 61-note keyboard. The bass sounds pretty good and has 16′ and 8′ presets each for Electric and String Bass sections.
The string section is based on the Omni II String synth. It sounds excellent and implements a phase-shift effect that is sort-of like a chorusing effect that thickens its already great string sound. In Polyphonic synth mode there are more effects available such as sample-n-hold and the phase-shifter. String and Poly Synth sections have 8′ and 4′ Polyphonic Waveform Generators each along with a preset called Hollow Waveform.
In Lead synth mode the Quadra becomes a two voice screamer with aftertouch sensitivity in the upper octaves of the keyboard! It's duophonic (like the Odyssey). Get a bass sequence going, switch over to another section and play along!

OSA (Old School Arps) for Kontakt
CL-Projects releases OSA (Old School Arps) for Kontakt 5.1 and higher.
Here's what they say: "Imagine yourself in a cellar, filled with vintage synthesizers and analog sequencers, flashing lights, knobs and faders everywhere, playing Berlin School electronic music. If you don't have any of that equipment to your disposal, this library is the next best thing. It tries to bring some of that sound and feeling to your home and studio by supplying vintage arpeggio patches."
The Berlin School electronic genre of music was first made in Berlin in the 1970s, hence the name, by electronic music artists like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Ashra. Typical for this type of music are the evolving, atmospheric and hypnotic layered sequencer textures. The sound consists basically of ambient elements combined with short, repeating sequenced runs of notes, which gives the music a rhythmic element.
OSA is a Kontakt 5 library aimed at this genre of electronic music from the 1970s and 1980s and consists of vintage arpeggios, and a few modern ones too. Inspired by musicians like Jean Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Michael Hoenig and countless others.
Library Features:
- For Kontakt 5.1 and higher (Full version).
- 24-bit 44.100 kHz ncw samples.
- 50 different waveforms per oscillator.
- 24 samples per patch, 12 per oscillator (76 notes).
- Velocity and Aftertouch responsive.
- 6 folders containing a total of 151 patches.
- Patches divided into Straight, Triplets and One Shot (separate folders).
- 4 Effects: Reverb, Delay, Chorus & Phaser.
- Time and Speed parameters sync to Host tempo (Delay, Chorus and Phaser).
- All parameters on 1 page.
Price: £19.99.

VVOC- – free plug-in for vocal sounds with a vintage electronic touch
WOK has released VVOC-1, a new free synth plug-in that generates vocal sounds with a vintage electronic touch, from single formants to synthetic choir sounds.
The integrated triple-chorus and the X/Y pad for adjusting the formants, a pitch glide function and a hidden secret unveil more power than the easy GUI might imply.
Price: Free. As with all of WOK's plugins there is no adware or spyware included.
VOX Continental V – vintage keyboard recreation from Arturia
Arturia has announced the release of VOX Continental V, a vintage keyboard recreation, bringing back the classic sound of the famous VOX Continental 300.
As a high-end software recreation of the Sixties-vintage VOX Continental 300 transistor-based combo organ, VOX Continental-V is the latest addition to Arturia's acclaimed Analog Classics lineup where it sits alongside an authentic recreation of another archetypal Sixties staple, Wurlitzer-V (based on the classic 'Wurly' electric piano). Introduced in 1962, the VOX Continental — or 'Connie' as affectionately it became known — was originally designed to address the needs of touring musicians, but became musically much-loved in its own right. As such, it prominently featured on many hit records of the time, including The Animals' classic 'House Of The Rising Sun' in 1964 and, a little later, 'Light My Fire' by The Doors. Onstage, The Beatles performed a memorably frenzied version of 'Help!' B-side 'I'm Down' during their August 1965 performance at New York's Shea Stadium with John Lennon playing a VOX Continental using his elbows at times!
Despite being phased out of production in the early-Seventies, the VOX Continental has stood the test of time, too, playing a pivotal part in generating many of the distinctive keyboard sounds supporting later musical genres, including almost everything ever recorded by British Ska revivalists Madness, as well as New Wavers like Elvis Costello and The Attractions and American counterparts Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. However, VOX organs have become increasingly difficult to acquire due to the high prices that they can command, compounded by the limited supply of working units. Today, VOX Continental-V gives contemporary, computer-based musicians instant access to those same hit-making sounds of yesteryear, and much more besides — and all without breaking the bank!
VOX Continental V features
- Physical Modeling of the VOX Continental 300.
- Added models of the ultra rare Jennings J70.
- Extended mode allows for more controls and more sound possibilities.
- Includes classic stompbox-type modeled effects.
- Modeled Guitar Tube Amp and Rotary Speaker outputs for vintage live sound.
- Extensive MIDI mapping of pedals, effects and sound engine parameters.
- Modeled amplifiers: Fender Deluxe Reverb Blackface, Fender Twin Reverb Blackface, Fender Bassman, Marshall Plexi, Leslie Speaker.
- Modeled microphones: Shure SM57, Sennheiser MD 421, Neumann U 87.
- Convolution reverb with custom classic spring reverbs.
The Vox Continental V is available for Windows and Mac (VST/AU/AAX/Standalone) for $99 USD/99 EUR (download) / $129 USD/119 EUR (boxed).

Observations From Final Minicamp PracticePosted by on June 13, 2010 – 12:15 pm
The Vikings concluded their mandatory minicamp this weekend with a 4th and final practice on Sunday morning, working out for just over an hour under cloudy skies and moderate temperatures.
Practice format for Sunday looked similar to that of Friday and Saturday, though I did notice some red zone work being done. As has been widely-reported, Tarvaris Jackson took reps with the 1st team and rookie Joe Webb took many of the 2nd team reps. But following practice, Head Coach Brad Childress said not to read too much into the QB rotation at this point because the team is trying to split up reps to expose young players to as much as possible as they try to immerse themselves in the Vikings offense.
Speaking of Childress, he addressed the media following practice and vikings.com was there to cover it. We'll have video of that press conference available in on-demand format later today so be sure to check back.
Also important to note was that RBs Toby Gerhart and Adrian Peterson were not at practice today.
Several players were stopped by reporters following practice and I tried to poke my head into as many interviews as I could. Here's what I heard…
– Jackson was asked about his improvement from the 2009 season and he explained that the biggest improvement he's made has been a mental standpoint and a focus standpoint. Perhaps Jackson learned from fellow QB Brett Favre during last season, but I also think Jackson is naturally progressing as a QB in this league. He has the desire to succeed and I characterize him as a player who works at improving his craft.
Jackson also said he thinks he's grown more during this offseason than he has during any other point in his career.
– LB Jasper Brinkley spoke with reporters about his progress through the offseason as well. Brinkley was a solid contributor to the Vikings special teams unit for the first 12 weeks of last season and then was inserted into the starting lineup when middle LB E.J. Henderson went down with a season-ending leg injury. Brinkley performed admirably in Henderson's stead and it appears the Vikings will be comfortable with the 2nd year player in Henderson's spot until the defensive captain can return to the lineup. One particular area Brinkley acknowledged he was focusing on was pass coverage, where he is concentrating on rotating his hips better and matching up route combinations with splits between receivers.
– CB Lito Sheppard said he noticed a sense of high expectation amongst the Vikings as they come off a season in which they advanced to the NFC Championship Game. It was an interesting observation from Sheppard because the Vikings new CB is also coming off a loss in a conference championship game. He was with the Jets in 2009 and the Indianapolis Colts defeated the Jets in the AFC title game.
– Many Vikings players and both Childress and assistant head coach/defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier spent several minutes after practice visiting with and signing autographs for members of the 932nd Medical Squadron out of Scott Air Force Base in Belleville, Illinois. The squadron was lead by Master Sergeant Mike Taylor and also includes TSgt Gilmore, SSgt Jackson and Sr. Airman Wissman. The 932nd is in town on a 2-week tour at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center.

Reynaud Continues Transition From WR To RBPosted by on June 13, 2010 – 8:51 am
Adrian Peterson's absence from this weekend's mandatory minicamp and 2nd round pick Toby Gerhart's hectic travel schedule and immersion into the Vikings offense over the past several days have been hot topics of conversation over the weekend.
They are the team's 2 highest-profile RBs but neither of them will be at Winter Park as the team wraps up minicamp with a Sunday morning practice. Peterson's absence is due to the 4th annual "Adrian Peterson Day" in the superstar's hometown of Palestine, TX and Gerhart left town on Saturday evening to attend commencement ceremonies at Stanford (he'll be back to Winter Park for next week).
One of the RBs who will be at Winter Park for the final practice of minicamp is Darius Reynaud, who joined the Vikings 3 years ago as an undrafted college free agent WR but is transitioning to RB for the 2010 season. In previous seasons with the Vikings, Reynaud has contributed primarily as a punt returner and occasionally as a WR. But moving Reynaud to RB may give the shifty playmaker a better opportunity to contribute more frequently on offense.
Reynaud played RB in high school and at West Virginia University, so the idea isn't foreign to him. But there are still some natural and sizable hurdles for him to overcome.
"You know he is taking a good look at things back there," Childress said when asked about Reynaud's transition. "I don't know if that is surprising because he was a running back at West Virginia. But he is doing a pretty good job."
Childress also mentioned that the next step in evaluating Reynaud's transition is seeing how he carries his pads as a RB. The Vikings have worked without pads during OTAs and minicamp.
Another factor in the transition will be pass protection. Reynaud, who switched from jersey #82 to #27, looks natural with the ball in his hands and has a penchant for making defenders whiff on tackles. But playing RB in the NFL is more about breaking tackles and picking up yardage.
"That is going to be a big thing to be able to see if you can master that in a short time," Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said of Reynaud learning pass protection. "Again, not his willingness to block but just all the nuances of where we are protecting and how we are getting that done and where he fits in will be his biggest challenge probably."

About Us
A feminist IRC channel (chat room). We talk about gender, politics, oppression and many other things. We lean geeky and radical leftist. We like your company!
We define feminism as a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at eliminating political, economic, and social inequalities between genders arising from structural oppression and exploitation of those who aren't men.
Trans woman exclusionary radical feminists are not welcome.

Rules and Guidelines
This specific chat room isn't here to convert people; it is here to facilitate discussion between feminists as well as bring to the forefront the often ignored ways in which capitalism oppresses women and other groups. There are other spaces on the internet readily available for those who are on the fence or wish to engage in debate on the necessity of the feminist movement.
##feminist Stands in Opposition to Liberal Notions of "Free Speech"*.
We believe that speech, like everything else, has a class character, and that some speech can be oppressive. This is why speech that is patriarchal, racist, cissexist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive is banned. People who use this speech will either be warned and asked to change the wording of their comments, or will be outright banned, depending on context. Users should also take care to censor their usage of slurs.
Do Not Attempt to Justify Your Use of Oppressive Language.
Doing this will almost assuredly result in a ban. Accept the criticism in a principled manner, retract or change your comment accordingly, and move on, learning from your mistake.
Discussions That Are Off-Topic or Otherwise Irrelevant to ##feminist Will be Redirected.
This includes discussions about illicit drug usage, public displays of affection and flirting, and sexual exploits. We also have a second chat room, ##feminist-theory, for more complex discussions that may alienate or not be accessible to all users. We also ask that users remain cognizant of the fact their our chat room is international in its make-up and take effort to discuss topics outside the USA.
Comments Asking Entry-Level Questions Will Not Be Allowed.
Questions like "What is feminism?" or "Aren't women already equal to men?" will not be tolerated as they are not the focus on this space. We ask that users educate themselves on these matters via our Educational Resources.
Users Complaining About "Authoritarian" Moderation Methods Will Be Banned.
If you do not like the style of moderation of this chat room, you are free to leave. There are other chat rooms that are better suited to you. If you feel you have a legitimate grievance, message the moderators. Attacking moderators in the chat room will likely result in a ban.
Feminists of All Tendencies Are Welcome Here**.
We ask that sectarianism be kept to a minimum. While criticism is allowed, we do not tolerate trash-talking or petty fighting; it must come from a position of striving to improve feminism and the material conditions of women's lives. People repeatedly 'trash talking' other groups, or trolling with their criticism, can and will be muted or banned.
Non-Feminist Posters Are Not Welcome Here.
##feminist is by and for feminists. Non-feminists are strongly encourage to not participate here. If you feel the need to ignore this warning, do not advertise your ideology; you will be banned. This rule also applies to police and military members of the armed forces of capitalist nations.
Unwelcome Comments on Users' Personal Choices Will Not Be Allowed.
Although we recognize the personal is political, this is not a space to express uninvited opinions or criticize other people's personal lifestyle choices, especially as it concerns health, diet, employment, and personal relationships.
*On free speech:
- This space opposes free speech, which generates a lot of misguided accusations. Opposing free speech does not mean we reject the notion of debating opposing viewpoints, or that we support the practice of personal censorship. This space rejects the notion that all speech belongs everywhere.
- This space is opposed to oppressive speech. ##feminist gets denunciations that view this guideline as oppressive. For those who are truly concerned about eliminating oppression, why would you defend oppressive speech to eternity? If oppression is to be ended, oppression through speech cannot continue.
- Oppressive speech is a part of free speech.
- Feminists in this space will often reject the defence of oppressive speech as a liberal tenet. Some feminists who aim to eliminate oppression do not defend the speech of the oppressors, such as the speech of racists, sexists and homophobes. This forum supports these efforts.
- ##feminist is not a liberal chat room. Liberals might come in the defence of Nazi speech, feminists in this space won't.
- Oppressive speech supports authority where it is undue (for example: the authority of white people over black people, of men over women). Thus, this space rejects the liberal accusations of authoritarianism based on its stance against free speech. ## * Men, White people, heterosexuals, and cis people set the oppressive normative standards of our society. Attacking such groups does not qualify as oppressive speech and is not equivalent to attacking oppressed groups; reverse racism and misandry do not exist. MRAs will be instantly banned.
- Patriarchal, white supremacist, cissexist, homophobic, or otherwise oppressive speech is not tolerated here.
- This chat room is meant to be a more friendly place for feminists to participate without having to be subjected to oppressive speech. Women, people of colour, queer people should feel welcome. Do your part.
- This is not restricted to comments that are openly hateful (for example: I hate women, women are inferior, etc). For example: if there is a comment about the first woman cosmonaut, and there is a user who chose to comment solely on her hair, this poster is being objectively sexist. Try to educate yourselves and each other. The moderators will try not to be overzealous in enforcing the policy, but politely ask that you try to err against posting offensive things. This chat room believes that humour, serious theoretical discussions and casual conversations can all be had without offending anyone.
- Free speech will also be used in the defence of off-topic discussions, or comments that otherwise break the rules of ##feminist. To this the response of this chat room is: if all discussions can exist everywhere, what is the purpose of having several different chat rooms?
- This chat room's aim towards this subject is to create a class-conscious speech. Readers will note that speech has a class character, and that socialist feminists are against bourgeois speech. The aim of this space is to create an environment that promotes continuous discussion that accretes theory and knowledge.
- Those who want to engage in bourgeois speech will not be able to do so in ##feminist, but they have many other spaces to choose from, and can create their own chat rooms.
**With the exception of toxic/reactionary ideologies:
Sexists, transphobes, fascists, consistent apologists for imperialism, racists, homophobes, ableists, and other bigots are not welcome. They shall be banned on sight. If a banned user wishes to rejoin the space, rehabilitation may require a private or public repudiation of the toxic ideology and a private apology to those affected and/or an in-channel apology. Ops may through constructive consensus expand the ideologies regarded as toxic; the list above is not exhaustive but serves as a guide. Reactionary and conservative ideologies that wish to eliminate the gains feminists have fought for or uphold oppressions we are currently combating are all considered toxic.

Ok people I have a question, I've been to several sites where they have an image say at the top that spans across the entire page leaving no margins on the sides, no matter what resolution you run at its still to the ends. So at first I think ok maybe its just a table 100%, page is set to 0 margins and its just the background color, then when I put my mouse over it right click properties its an actuak image not just a background color. SO does anyone know how to do this, please inform...Thanks
Or maybe its just me for instance check out www.alienware.com now it looks like the left side is perhaps just a colored background on the table, but... how do they have it looking so exact to the image to the right. I hope this all made sense

Ken Erdmann (pictured, right) of Utah-based Erdmann Electric typically installs about 12 to 14 PV panels that generate between 9kW and 11kW of power, along with a 6kW inverter.
Some of us can get a little too passionate about alternative energy: all those tempting rebates, all that feel-goodliness, all that social prestige. But looking simply at the monetary side, is it really worth it to install a photovoltaic (solar) system to power your home?
Tax considerations, rebates and other incentives are being offered from every corner: utilities, manufacturers, and the government, down to the city level.
Is it worth it? Some home technology pros break it down for us:
Phoenix-based One Way Electric prices its fully installed systems at $7 per watt. So for a typical 10-kilowatt system for a larger home, the average installation is $70,000. Company principal Kevin Pozo says the utility rebates are one of his strongest selling points. In his locale, Arizona Public Service (APS) offers a $3-per-watt rebate of up to $75,000 or 50 percent of the installation cost.
Residential Technologies in Charlotte, N.C., has varying price ranges. The company charges up to $8.50 per watt for small residential jobs and as low as $6 per watt for large installations, excluding labor charges.
For labor, the Residential Technologies charges between $50 and $65 per hour for photovoltaic (solar) jobs. It takes the company about one hour per panel for an installation and about 15 hours to install and program the inverter and run the connections.
In all, a typical 10-kw project takes about 70 to 75 hours. With product and labor, that amounts to about $80,000.
There are some modest maintenance fees. Residential Technologies charges a $150 annual fee to clean and scrub the panels. He charges more for steep roofs.
DIY? HelioPower sells an all-inclusive 5.9-kw kit for about $36,600. The company estimates that a Californian could recoup roughly half that amount.
ROI on Going Green
You hear a lot about generous incentives for going green, but wading through the various offers from utilities and all levels of government can be cumbersome.
Pozo of One Way Electric says it typically takes two to three months to process the paperwork for clients.
"We do all the paperwork on behalf of the client, including pulling the permits," he says. "We have to."
When it is all said and done with, how much do the tax advantages help? A lot. According to Keith Davis of Residential Technologies, an integrator in Charlotte, N.C., as much as 65 percent of the cost of a system in North Carolina can be covered through tax incentives and rebates. For a typical residential installation, Davis says the payback is seven to eight years. After eight years, a large system can produce positive cash for the homeowner, especially since utilities in the state are required to buy back power from solar customers at 15 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh).
Hans Stullken of One Way Electric says that, for a typical $70,000 residential solar panel installation, a homeowner in Arizona can receive as much as a $30,000 rebate from the local utilities based on usage and system size, a 25 percent state tax credit on the installation cost only (currently capped at $1,000 but that cap may be lifted), and as much as a $12,000 federal tax credit over a period of years. So if the state cap is lifted, a homeowner could pay, in the end, as little as $18,000 for a $70,000 system. In the meantime, they have drastically slashed their energy bill forever.
"The incentives are driving the market," says Tim Henderson of One Way Electric. "Homeowners are realizing that the rebates are there to be taken. ROI, not wanting to be green, is the big driver right now."
It doesn't stop there. In the state of Arizona, there is no sales tax charged on the purchase of solar panels. That's a savings of 5.6 percent. Also, according the Stullken, the full amount of money spent on solar panels is added to the appraisal of a home, but that amount is not considered when calculating property tax. So a $400,000 home that spends $70,000 on a PV installation is appraised at $470,000, but the property taxes are still based on $400,000.
How Much Can You Recoup?
As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) signed into law in February of 2009, $40 billion was allocated to energy-related programs, including tax credits, rebates and incentives for homeowners and builders to adopt alternative energy systems.
The new law provides a $1,500 tax credit for installing Energy Star windows, doors insulation and heating/cooling equipment through 2010 for existing homes and 2016 for new homes. In addition, homeowners can receive a 30 percent tax credit (with no limit) for installing solar panels, wind turbines and geothermal heat pumps. Moreover, builders can receive a $2,000 tax credit for constructing a home with energy-efficient materials.
Tax incentives and rebates come in many shapes and sizes from many different parties. The Database for State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) is an excellent resource for determining what you can recoup on solar and other green initiatives. http://www.dsireusa.org">Visit http://www.dsireusa.org.

November 28, 2014
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman has decided to retire after 23 seasons in the NBA.
Adelman made the announcement on Monday, five days after the Wolves wrapped up a disappointing 40-42 season.
The decision brings to an end to a celebrated coaching career that includes 1,042 victories, eighth on the NBA's career list. He coached Western Conference powers in Portland and Sacramento and also had stops in Golden State and Houston.
Adelman says the time is right for him to step aside and spend more time with his wife, Mary Kay, who has been treated for seizures over the last two years. He also thinks the Wolves need a fresh voice in now to help them try to persuade star power forward Kevin Love to remain in Minnesota.

Big data hitting the fan? Nyquist-Shannon TOOL SAMPLE can save you
Re: Just occurred to me
If you're measuring something that is periodic and predictable then you may be able to do that. But if it's periodic and predictable why are you measuring it?
If the signal isn't periodic and predictable, then the longest sample period ( lowest frequency) of your non-regular interval needs to be half the period ( or twice the frequency ) of the signal change that you are interested in, otherwise you will run the risk of missing something.
The CURSE of WHO: WHY has there never been a decent videogame with the Doctor?
I have a vague memory of some kind of plug-in for doom ( or wolfenstein 3d ? ) which added Doctor Who themed graphics to the game - replaced the gun with a sonic screwdriver, aliens/nazis with daleks etc.
Those kind of fast-moving arcade-style games fit in better with how the show feels now, rather than 'classic' Who, which seems better suited to a puzzle solving 'myst' style of game.
Maybe an adventure game to find and unlock the 'lost episodes', with points scored for esoteric Who knowledge would be just the ticket for the older fans?

Re: iron

I believe 'auto updating' was one of the things they turned off - the idea being that it shouldn't be doing stuff in the background that the user isn't aware of..
I've used it for a while, not seen any issues with it, but dunno if it does quite as much privacy-wise as aviator claims to do.

Going under the knife? Avoid Fridays. Trust us, we asked a doctor
From the data in the report, it's not just that the risk is significantly higher on Fridays & weekends, it gradually increases from the lowest point on Monday.
The report lumps Saturday & Sunday together, which doesn't help, but if poorer care over the weekend was a significant cause, I'd expect Friday to be worse than Sunday, which doesn't seem to be the case.
Perhaps minor ops that happen toward the end of the week have a tendency to be pushed to the start of the following week, surgeons being unwilling to give up their weekends unless they have to, resulting in the figures being skewed by the percentage of serious/non-serious cases done on each day?

If the kilogram standard is now heavier than it was, that must mean that I now weigh less kilograms than I used to. Hurrah for basing weight measurements on an physical object.
Now, can we do something to get the metre back to a physical object as well? - preferably one that also increases. After Christmas my waistline badly needs a re-definition of standards.

Scientists find safer way to store hydrogen
Climate change
Extending the scenario so that we have lots of hydrogen factories situated near big water sources, and each of these factories shipping the hydrogen ( via hydrogen powered transport ) to where it is needed - i.e. the big cities of the world...
Whether we 'burn' the hydrogen, or use it in a fuel cell, it will produce water as an 'exhaust' - effectively moving water from the hydrogen factory to the middle of the city - giving us reduced oxygen and permanent cloud over each of our cities.
Lots of grant money will then be needed for the climate boffins to figure out the new number of ways in which the world is doomed!

Between thunderstorms March 20, Grigorije Beljanski jigged up a 24-inch largemouth bass on a medium golden roach from Lake Milliken at Des Plaines Fish and Wildlife Area.
"After this one, I caught five more in 14- to 16-inch range,'' e-mailed the Cicero man, who is 6-2. "All the fishes were released after a lil' photo shoot, like I always do.''
Two big largemouth earn Fish of the Week honors, reminders that March bass fishing may be tough, but rewarding.
On a south suburban pond earlier this month, Ken "Husker'' O'Malley caught his first nice, open-water bass of 2011 on a lipless crankbait.
"This was the second year in a row that this pond gave up a nice bass the day after ice out,'' the Mokena man e-mailed. "Both bass were caught on the same lure on a sunny day. This pond gives up the biggest bass the first two months after ice out.''

Dr. Ohhira's Fan
17 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1162616 on May 20, 2010
Purchased at iHerb
I have had great success with Dr. Ohhira's probiotics. They have really helped with some serious gastro issues and seem to help balance my thyroid (I do not know why). I will not travel without them, and I must admit that I chew one if I have a headache or tummy problem. They are turning into a cure all for me! My grandkids chew one a day and their number of colds and flu have been drastically reduced. I tried the new formula containing the propolis and can report less pain in my wrist and a general improvement in my energy level. I rarely review any supplement, but I am impressed with the quality and effectiveness of these products. I only wish they were not so expensive, but iHerb has the best prices for these worthy little gems!

"It's showtime!"Meet the Maitlands, Barbara and Adam. They're a young couple, crazily in love, and trying to have a baby to fill up their idyllic home in a sleepy little Connecticut town. One day, they run to town for an errand... and crash through the covered bridge over the river.The ghosts of the Maitlands return home, not knowing how, and find that they can no longer leave it (unless they want to be beset by Sand Worms). Even worse, their house has been sold to the Deetzes — an eccentric, upscale yuppie family who want to do a complete overhaul. With no clue about what to do and little-to-no real help coming from the Celestial Bureaucracy known as the afterlife, Barbara and Adam learn of a being known as Betelgeuse (pronounced, of course, "Beetlejuice") who claims he can rid their house of its new owners. They release him after saying his name three times. Hilarity Ensues.This iconic Tim Burton movie remains one of the most popular comedy movies of all time. Though it contains the typical gothic imagery you'd expect from Burton, it also features memorable performances by Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Jeffrey Jones, Catherine O'Hara, Glenn Shadix, Winona Ryder, and Michael Keaton as the B-Man himself, as well as the musical stylings of both Danny Elfman and Harry Belafonte. Mix all of these elements together, and it's not hard to figure out why Beetlejuice soon became a staple of Halloween.Interestingly enough, Beetlejuice was originally conceived as a very serious horror film titled The Maitlands with Beetlejuice originally envisioned as a shape-shifting reptilian demon. The involvement of Tim Burton and Michael Keaton helped turn it into more of a comedy.The movie was so popular that it spawned an animated Recycled: The Series on ABC and Fox Kids. It bore little resemblance to the movie, however; the Maitlands and Juno were eliminated entirely, the title character's name was spelt "Beetlejuice", he and Lydia were best friends, and the stories largely took place in Beetlejuice's home dimension of "the Neitherworld".
Tropes. Tropes. Tropes. ... It's showtime.

The bottom line for financial services
- abnormalreturns
- April 18th, 2012
One of the things we do in our new book is to review the purpose of investing. Sometimes it is easy to forget what the goals of investing really are and how we can go about achieving our goals. David Booth is the CEO of DFA Funds, the mutual fund powerhouse with some $200+ billion in assets under management. He was recently quoted in Forbes* talking about what the future holds for the financial services industry.
Booth says the most exciting thing in the financial services will be providing wealth management for the everyday Jane and Joe. "Providing cost-efficient integrated lifetime financial solutions to the average person is an exciting challenge for the industry." He adds, "Giving everyone a chance, a decent chance, at a good retirement. That's what excites me."
Sometimes in all the back and forth in the market it is easy to forget what the purpose of investing is all about. It's about giving individuals the tools and skills to provide for themselves a "good retirement." The existing financial services industry hasn't done all that good job doing that for the average American. The question is who is going to provide that solution Booth seeks, because it is unlikely to come from incumbent Wall Street firms.
