Windows 8.1's market share remains utter rubbish
Last month, web analytics firm NetMarketShare released its usual batch of monthly desktop operating system usage share figures, and it showed Windows 8.x tumbling dramatically. The figure made little sense, and a day later the firm released revised data which showed the tiled OS still shedding a large chunk of share, but not quite as badly.
In December's revised figures NetMarketShare had the OS falling 5.13 percentage points for a total share of 13.52 percent, placing it back way below Windows XP. This meant January's figures were always going to be interesting. Surely the tiled OS would rally wouldn't it? But of course this is Windows 8.x, Microsoft's least successful operating system in recent memory, so no. Its usage share remains utterly rubbish.
Robots are after my job, and perhaps yours too
Robots are after my job. They're after yours as well, but let us deal with my problem first. Associated Press, an American multinational nonprofit news agency, revealed on Friday that it published 3,000 articles in the last three months of 2014. The company could previously only publish 300 stories. It didn't hire more journalists, neither did its existing headcount start writing more, but the actual reason behind this exponential growth is technology. All those stories were written by an algorithm.
Last summer the publication partnered with Automated Insights -- a US-based company that provides real-time content automation services to "transform data into narratives, visualizations and applications" -- to begin automating quarterly earnings reports using the software company's patented Wordsmith platform. The algorithm is churning out business reports -- something which requires a human to have a scrupulous understanding of the market, drink a lot of latte, and be damn accurate and quick -- at an incredible pace.

Logitech now offering a line of Chrome OS compatible peripherals
While most everyone is familiar with Chromebooks, the Google operating system also comes on a few desktop computers, a system generally referred to as a Chromebox. Like any computer, a Chromebox requires a keyboard and mouse, but sometimes those using notebook computers also prefer an external mouse instead of using the trackpad. Now Logitech plans to have everyone covered in this growing market.
The hardware maker is announcing a new line of peripherals designed specifically for Chrome OS computers. You're likely thinking that any wireless keyboard or mouse will work, and you'd be mostly right. I type this now from a Chromebook using a standard Microsoft wireless mouse. But what Logitech has is a bit more interesting.
The Phoenix is back as The Pirate Bay rises from its ashes and sails again
When The Pirate Bay was raided (again) nobody really thought the government had won. Countless people, myself included, predicted the return of the notorious Torrent site. After all, it's never really been dead -- just down for a bit or forced to change domains. But down and out? Not yet. This time around proves no different.
The fact that some people think these types of sites can be blocked, legislated or even raided out of existence is almost laughable. We knew The Pirate Bay was coming back. Rumor had the rebirth set for February 1st, but the site has made an early appearance.
Windows 10 for enterprise will not be free, splits into two upgrade branches
There aren't many people who don't like the sound of "free", and this was one of the keywords taken away from Microsoft's Windows 10 event earlier in the month. As build 9926 was unleashed on eager upgraders, Microsoft revealed that it will be free to upgrade to Windows 10 in the first year.
At least this is the case for the average consumer; it's something of a different story for enterprise customers. Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 8/8.1 Enterprise are not versions that will be eligible for a free upgrade -- this is the personification of Windows as a service.
Control access to folders with Anvi Folder Locker Free
There are many ways to keep your PCs confidential files safe from snoopers. You could encrypt them individually. Store them in a password-protected archive. Maybe just bury them deep in some unexpected area of your file system.
Anvisoft's Anvi Folder Locker Free aims to simplify the process by applying protection at the folder level. In just a few seconds it can hide a folder, add password protection, maybe just make it read-only – whatever suits your needs.
British army's 77th Brigade to wage psychological war on Facebook
The British army is creating a new battalion of online soldiers in the form of the 77th Brigade. Hundreds of recruits will make up the division and will engage in "non-lethal warfare" on Mark Zuckerberg's social network from April.
The 77th Brigade will engage in psyops (psychological operations) to try to influence the opinions of civilians in certain parts of the world, as well looking to change the behavior of those engaged in various forms of warfare. The activities of groups such as ISIS (Islamic State) have shown the importance of the internet in general, but social networks in particular, to spreading ideas, messages and propaganda, and this is what the army is looking to manage.
Google Now for Android becomes more useful, now feeds information from third-party apps
Google has long been devising new ways to boost engagement on its services. In its latest move, the Mountain View-based technology giant updates Google Now, its contextual search trump card, to add support for third-party apps.
In a blog post, the company notes that it has partnered with more than 40 popular apps including Ebay, Pandora, Runtastic, Ford, ICICI Bank, Shazam, and others to feed information from them on to the Google Now dashboard. You can check the full-list of apps and services here.
The cost for Google Earth Pro is now zero -- get your free license key now!
There is an old adage that a fool and his money are easily parted. This is a motto that I follow in my life. I don't mind paying for quality, but I won't open my wallet for nonsense.
With that said, you should always be wary when something is free; another adage is that there is no such thing as a free lunch. That's not to say that free things can't exist, but there may be strings attached. Today, Google Earth Pro becomes free -- are there strings attached?
Jay Z to buy HD music streaming service Tidal
Rapper Jay Z is spreading his wings outside of the world of hip hop, and venturing into music streaming territory. The musician's company, Project Panther Bidco Ltd is buying the Swedish company Aspiro, the owner of HD streaming music service Tidal for $56m.
The purchase will also see Jay Z acquiring Aspiro's other streaming service WiMP, but it is the quality-focused Tidal that is of particular interest. It will pit Jay Z against the Apple-owned Beats as well as the likes of Spotify.
Motorola begins to rollout Android 5.0 Lollipop for Moto G in India
Motorola has started to seed out the Android 5.0 Lollipop update -- the latest iteration of the Google's mobile operating system -- for both the first and second generation Moto G handsets in India. In a blog post, the Lenovo-owned smartphone manufacturer noted that users who purchased the affordable handset from Flipkart or Airtel store will be able to snag the update.
Announced in October, Android 5.0 Lollipop is one of the biggest updates to Google's mobile operating system since its inception in 2008. The update brings in a range of features including improved notifications, revamped user interface, support for ART runtime by default, and advanced security features, among others.
Sorry Apple, Dell's laptop is better -- Precision M3800 destroys MacBook Pro
Apple makes wonderful computers. Hell, they are more than just computers, they are art as well. Much like a high-end premium automobile, the MacBook Pro demands attention, portraying the message that the owner is a success. Even if you want to run Windows, an Apple computer may be the best choice from a hardware perspective.
Well, at least it was. Unfortunately for Tim Cook and crew, the MacBook Pro has lost a bit of its luster, especially in the professional world. Why, you ask? Dell's Precision M3800 is a better machine from a performance standpoint, and arguably just as attractive. Don't just take my word for it, Dell commissioned a study to back it up.
Is LibreOffice 4.4 the 'most beautiful' ever?
The Document Foundation has unveiled LibreOffice 4.4, describing it as "the most beautiful LibreOffice ever".
But while there are plenty of visual tweaks (an enhanced Sifr monochrome icon theme is now the default on OS X), most of the UI improvements are about usability.
Windows 10 updates -- new Surface Pro graphic driver, new Windows Phone Windows Insider App
We're gradually moving towards the official release of Windows 10, but in the meantime we have the Technical Preview to work with -- Build 9926 specifically. As we're only at the preview stage, it is to be expected that there will be a few issues here and there.
The good news is that Microsoft is working on fixing these problems, not just for the eventual RTM release of Windows 10, but also the preview builds. Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro 3 owners complained about problems with stability when watching videos, and this has been addressed with a driver update.
Best Windows apps this week

Microsoft released its Q2 FY2015 this week and additional information on Windows 10, the fate of Windows RT and its cloud file hosting service OneDrive. If you are running Windows 10 already on a system you may have noticed that it ships with two stores: the old store that is also available on Windows 8.1 and a new beta store which the company plans to switch to when Windows 10 gets released.

text: The Matt Baker wiki last edited by natetodamax on 06/30/13 07:58AM View full history Character BackgroundBaker grew up in St Louis, Missouri. His parents divorced when he was young and he lived with his mother. As a child he was given a cursed pistol engraved, "Brothers in arms, for Matthew". After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Baker volunteered for the airborne division. He became a member of the 101st Airborne Division, "The Screaming Eagles".Game AppearancesHe first appeared in the game Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30. Before they began their missions his squad leader was injured in a training exercise, allowing Baker to be promoted to Sergeant and to be given control of 3rd Squad. It is hard for him to make decisions that will affect the lives of the men under his command but he soon becomes an excellent squad leader and leads his men to victory during the first eight days of fighting. Baker has a large scar on his forehead from tank shell that knocked him down during the battle for Hill 30.He appeared a few times in Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood but was not the main character. This role was filled by squad mate Joe "Red" Hartsock.Players once again take control of Matt Baker in the latest installment of the series, Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway, as he leads his men through Operation Market Garden. The war is starting to take its toll on Baker as he starts having hallucinations, which causes his best friend Hartstock to question if he is still capable of leading his men. Through the course of the game Baker is haunted by the memory and spirit of PFC. Leggett, who was killed by a German tank in the first game. This causes him to hallucinate several times during the game due to stress, culminating in him throwing away the .45 1911 that his father gave him but had killed anyone who came in contact with it other than Baker.

Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- The heads of two of Albany's cultural institutions are meeting with officials to determine whether it would be feasible to pitch the city as a possible home for the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.
With music industry notables such as Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Harry James and now Luke Bryan from the metro Albany area, some believe Southwest Georgia would be a fitting home for the hall.
"There's no question that this area has made a significant contribution to music history," Thronateeska Heritage Museum Executive Director Tommy Gregors said. "What we have to see is if there is support for it and whether it's feasible."
With the state pulling much of its funding, and visitation down due to a sluggish economy, both the Georgia Music and Sports halls are considering a move out of Macon and have put a request for proposals out to find interested cities.
But Gregors, who along with Flint RiverQuarium CEO Scott Loehr went to an informational meeting in Macon last month, said he is acutely aware of the challenges venues like the hall face in simply keeping the doors open.
"These are old numbers, but I think they're still true ... $6 per person in revenues are typically generated by patrons at museums, while costs are usually around $22 per person. The challenge is finding the money to bridge the gap," Gregors said.
The Thronateeska director said that those interested in submitting proposals must do so by Dec. 10. At this point, no proposal has been submitted for Albany.
If officials are hoping to look to either the city or county government for help bridging the gap, they may have a tough sell ahead of them.
"I will say that I don't believe we need another venue in this town that we would have to subsidize," City Manager Alfred Lott said Friday after learning Albany was in consideration.
Athens, according to the Athens-Banner Herald, will bid to house the music hall. The city council for the city of Dunwoody near Atlanta has also voted to bid on the project.
Earlier this month, the city of Macon voted to utilize $500,000 in subsidies to retain both the sports and music halls, and the Bibb County Commission is expected to match that figure.

'cannot be accused of hypocrisy: unlike many on the left' Out of nowhere, but a nice sly dig there, though in my experience socialists generally get accused of hypocrisy if they DON'T hide their taste for luxury. To which the obvious response is 'I believe in levelling up, not levelling down'. But then, being accused of hyprocrisy is just one of the hazards of having principles to live up to in the first place... ...anyway, all this 'faits divers' stuff is very enjoyable, but does The Economist still have nothing to say about Sarkozy's hostility to free markets and free trade? Very mysterious...Comment originally posted on August 7, 2007 11:22 AM
NOW that August is clogging the autoroutes with French holidaymakers in search of the sun, the French media are, as ever, obsessed with the vacation choices of their leaders (not that other countries' journalists are any different, witness the delight with which British hacks used to detail Tony Blair's sojourns with fading pop stars). The big news, of course, is the whereabouts of President Nicolas Sarkozy: the press are having a field day over Sarko's choice of Wolfeboro, a hitherto unknown place (at least to me, as opposed to American billionaires) in New Hampshire. Today, the left-leaning Libération devoted a page and a half to the president's holiday, under the headline (apparently a Sarko quote) "Ooh, my English is so bad".
One possible reason for the fascination is Socialist horror (notably by a parliamentarian called René Dosière) at the supposed cost of the holiday: is the taxpayer having to pay for Mr and Mrs Sarkozy and their son to stay at the luxury retreat (eleven bathrooms, private cinema, etc) of Michael Appe, a former Microsoft executive, in which case it could be costing a daunting €21,900 a week? Or is the Sarkozy family perhaps freeloading?
My guess, however, is that the fascination has little to do with the holiday budget (after all, French presidents—notably Jacques Chirac—have a tradition of relaxing like monarchs). The real reason is two-fold: first Sarko has broken new ground by holidaying in America, and second he seems to be confirming a reputation for hobnobbing with the ultra-rich. As Libé gleefully notes, Sarko's relaxation choice after his election victory in May was the yacht, moored at the time just off Malta, of Vincent Bolloré, a French billionaire often described (shades of several American counterparts) as a "corporate raider".
The question is what all this will lead to. My hunch is that Sarko's unabashed affection for America will redound to his credit with a French electorate tiring of the knee-jerk anti-Americanism of so many French intellectuals (as Sarko points out, 900,000 French citizens visit America each year). He might also brush up his image as an international statesman by chatting to Mitt Romney, a Republican presidential candidate who apparently has a place in New Hampshire, or by visiting the Bush clan along the road in Kennebunkport (though hobnobbing with George W. might prove counter-productive). As to consorting with the rich, at least Sarko cannot be accused of hypocrisy: unlike many on the left—the so-called gauche caviar—Sarko has never hidden his liking for luxury. Meanwhile, the media's fascination will continue—not least because today the president (clad in swimming trunks and clearly too energetic for his own good) lost his temper with a couple of innocent American news photographers, leaping from his boat onto theirs and berating them in French. Perhaps it was just as well that his English "is so bad".

Sure, the aliens have probably been slowly infiltrating our unsuspecting planet for many years now, but for a moment, put that thought aside.

by TobyFrom Aunt Bessie's web presence and the traditional kind of British food she's known for, like steak pies, home-style chips, and baked apple pie, you wouldn't think she'd become a trendsetter in the food arena. But she has created the United Kingdom's first main course on an ice cream cone -- the Banger and Mash Cone.
Vending Machine Doles Out Soda 12 at a Time
by Thomas A. ParmaleeSometimes, it's the simplest invention ideas that are most successful. Melvin Eaker and Dan Cooper, the founders of E&C Manufacturing, are hoping their Sodamatic Vending Machine will fit into that category.
Instead of dispensing a single can or bottle of soda or water, the vending machine doles out 12 packs. That can come in pretty handy for folks having get togethers or those who just want an ample supply of caffeine or water without having to actually run into a store.

Pando Media Booster Guide for Download & Install Help
I see bandwidth and/or system resources are being used to download or run the game via Pando, I get weird error messages after download, what is going on?
This advice is helpful if you used our direct downloader that is using the Pando Media Booster.
Many games use Pando Media Booster to download and install themselves. It is peer to peer software that shares the game with other players.
If you do not want to be sharing the game files with other people from your computer, you can disable it in Windows Task Manager by ending the Task (PMB.exe is the process), or fully uninstall the program from Windows Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs after you have fully installed the game.
If you have some problems downloading with Pando, here are some things that can help:
1) Add PMB.exe to the exceptions list in your antivirus or firewall software.
2) You can use the built in test connection feature, on its Control panel click on Advanced Connection Settings > Test my Connection
3) You can try adding the game folder/files to your exceptions list in your antivirus and firewall software. Please see the help menu or support website for the software that you use if you aren't sure how to do it.
At your own risk, you may have to disable your antivirus, firewall, and other security software temporarily while you download, install, update, login to, and play the game. Sometimes the security software will block it or throttle it, no matter what you try or even if you try to add exceptions for the game files in your security software.
4) If you are using any type of Download Helper/Accelerator type of programs (and/or torrent programs), you may have to shut those down while trying to download with Pando. You might also need to shut down Bitlocker and similar programs.
5) Once installation has completed, you might need to temporarily End Task in Windows Task Manager, Pando's
program. You would do this is you get weird errors, some of which can be "Error Code 5", or "File in use"
For additional help with Pando Media Booster itself, please see these resources:
If you need further help, please contact technical support:

Crusaders v Cheetahs - Live
Full time Nothing coming for the visitors though. One more chance in their own 22, but they're tired... and Goosen kicks it out to take the bonus point! a few bemused faces,but perhaps he knew his team had barely any steam. A well-deserved win for the Crusaders, in the face of staunch competition from the visitors. Cheers from Canterbury.
78 Crusaders looking for the fourth try now, the Cheetahs look out of gas completely. Another series of picks and goes culminates in a knock on,so the Cheetahs do have one more shot at finding a last-gasp try.
76 Taylor lands the conversion! CONVERSION CRUSADERS, 28-21!
75 Fruean for the line... he could have reached, but he sets it back instead. A couple of short passes on the line, looking for creating space.... out wide, Dagg in an acre! TRY CRUSADERS, DAGG!
74 Carter switches with Taylor off the scrum, Taylor over in another pile of bodies, but this time the call is definitive, held up.
73 Read off the back, Ellis dummies and goes, Ellis is being ushered to the line by a morass of Crusaders bodies,which crashes over but where the ball is is a mystery. TMO time... no try! A5m scrum.
72 Crusaders pressing hard here, and they've got a scrum 15m out,but remember, they can't count on their powerwith the scrums being uncontested.
70 It's over! 21-21 with ten to go! PENALTY CHEETAHS, GOOSEN!
69 Cheetahs get a penalty now... Goosen steps up from distance.
67 Dagg fluffs a clearance only to his own 22. One interesting note though, we've gone to uncontested scrums as a result of Cheetah injuries, yet about six penalties have gone against the Cheetahs at scrum-time... coincidence? It's clearly playing a part in the Cheetahs' revival.
65 Goosen puts over the extras! CONVERSION CHEETAHS,GOOSEN! It's 21-18!
64 Going well through the phases, but they look a touch tired now. Out to Goosen, lovely long pass to Benjamin, inside to Ebersohn, he stretches.... he's there! TRY CHEETAHS! EBERSOHN! 21-16!
62 Crusaders with 55 per cent territory this half... they'd be further ahead but for the brilliant try by Goosen that allhere are still talking about. Cheetahs have pinched a line-out here and they're up to 15m out!
59 Crusaders just starting to look a little more dangerous now. Guildford and Dagg with some great soft hands to keep the ball alive. And a penalty against Brussow for hands in.
56 Taylor lands the long kick and the gap is back to ten. PENALTY CRUSADERS! 21-11!
55 Cheetahs going through the phases now, Goosen takes a great line, offloads, but Jacobs can't take the pass... and then messes around on the ground trying to recover his error, giving away a penalty.
53 Searing break down the right by Maitland after good work by Dagg, inside to Guildford, but he just couldn't find the finish...and Ellis is robbed of the ball.
51 Crusaders making more early changes as they seek to close it out. Wyatt Cockett on for Owen Franks. Carter crunched by Johnson now, so Ellis kicks downfield without his playmaker. Daniller smashes it back.
50 Cheetahs back to within a score! PENALTY CHEETAHS! GOOSEN! 18-11!
49 We've got a problem now for the Crusaders, with a white card shown for a lifting tackle on Goosen... no idea of the perpetrator though, but our replay shows it's Guildford... who dropped Jacobs, could be trouble.Goosen with a shot...
47 He can't bring the conversion in though, so it's 18-8!
46 Cheetahs countering from their own line frmo the restart.... and Goosen breaks superbly! Out to Strauss, inside to le Roux, inside to Goosen again, brilliant! TRY CHEETAHS! GOOSEN! Wonderful wonderful try, best of the season to date!
43 Taylor steps up to convert. CONVERSION CRUSADERS! 18-3!
42 Crusaders working hard down the left, Romano takes on some good ball, Carter out, a wrap, a long pass,Fruean cuts and is home! TRY CRUSADERS! FRUEAN!
41 SECOND HALF: Injuries strike at the Crusaders hard,as Ryan Crotty and Israel Dagg bothj look set to leave the field... the former is definitely off, Dagg stays on, but he looked uncomfiortable. As Crotty goes, on comes DC! Taylor goes to12.
Half time Hooter goes, cheetahs go for a maul, but it's lackadaisical. De Bruyn put the ball to touch and that's the half. Crusaders in charge of the scoreboard but the cheetahs still with plenty to offer. Join us in ten to see how much!
39 Taylor can't land the extras, but the Crusaders are onthe offensive again right from the restart, with Dagg taking good ball up to 5m out. Flynn takes it on... but there's a hand too many in the ruck from the Crusaders and the Cheetahs get a penalty.
37 here we go! Guildford takes an inside pass and breaks, long pass out to Dagg, Dagg to Maitland, who shrugs off tacklers and is in at the corner! TRY CRUSADERS! MAITLAND! 11-3!
36 Another penalty to the Crusaders at scrum time... the Cheetahs are getting no change from the set piece.
35 Le Roux steps and goes superbly off the line-out, the ball then goes wide, but again it's lost in contact just asthemovewas gaining momentum.
33 De Bruyn goes su0erbly off the scrum, but he loses the ball in contact - a shame. Taylor clears.
31 Crusaders run their ball perilously close totheir own line and Ellis has to clear hurriedly. Daniller runs it back and forces a knock on by his tackler somehow.
30 Half an hour gone and the Crusaders hit the front! PENALTY CRUSADERS, TAYLOR! 6-3!
29 Another driving maul, this one much more effective and it wins a penalty. Surely Taylor will pot this one over.
28 Goosen doesn't clear far though, so a chance for the Crusaders again.
27 Now a penalty, and it's pout down well into the Cheetahs 22. a real chance here.... but the maul breaks down and is forced into touch.
25 Attempted counter by the Crusaders loses momentum as the Cheetahs chasers close up the channels excellently. Crusaders win a scrum.
23 A lot of boot to ball right now, and one kick leaves Todd isolated, but he's strong. Crotty breaks... but the Cheetahs turn it over!
21 But Taylor has pulled this one around to the left.
20 Crusaders keeping the pressure on territorially at least... they concede penalties, then turn over possession again. Whoever cracks first in terms of having their gameplan nullified will be in real trouble. right now though, the Crusaders get a rare penalty, kickable.
18 Better building from the Crusaders, asking questions in different areas.... but a penalty for not releasing. They are their own worst enemy, and the Cheetahs are visibly growing in confidence, their line speed is quicker every time.
17 A technical penalty here to the Crusaders, well within Tom Taylor's range,but instead he goes for the corner.
15 Easy stuff for Goosen. PENALTY CHEETAHS, GOOSEN! 3-3!
14 This is tighter from the visitors as they rumble up to the line once more. and another penalty comes for offside after some neat work by the locks.
13 Good driving maul fromthe Cheetahs, but again as it goes down the Crusaders forwards find an accurate counter ruck and turn it over. Cheetahs need tohave a think about numbers, they're being out-witted.
11 Crusaders concede another penalty at ruck time and Goosen puts them up to 5m from the Crusaders line.
10 Another promising attack from the home side builds from a terrific counter-ruck,but this one ends with Ben Franks holding on. But the Crusaders are targetting the Cheetahs breakdown with numbers
8 Some real iffy decisions about knock-ons by Keith andrews so far... this time he gives one to the Crusaders while he was playing an advantage to them! Good kick ahead and chase by Dagg, but Le Roux is there covering.
6 It fades onto the post, but the bounce is good and Taylor gives the Crusaders the lead! PENALTY CRUSADERS! TAYLOR! 3-0!
5 A more dynamic attack here from the home side, with Guildford and Maitland working well and Ellis seeing space to go short and make yards. Hint of a forward pass from Ellis, but it's not flagged... and there's a penalty for an offside against Brussow.
3 On and on the big hits go, but one victory for the home side, they win a penalty at the secodn scrum, all won in the front row.
1 A physical start up front as you'd expect, the Crusaders have a point to prove especially on that front.
Team news Cheetahs a change on the wing, where Cameron Jacobs comes in for the crocked Ryno Benjamin. Otherwise, it's the same team that came from the dead to pip the Rebels last week, with Willie le Roux still hunting down the left wing.
Team news Crusaders The return of Dan Carter has domnated the talk this week, with the AB legend warming the bench for this one as he works his way back to fitness. Ryan Crotty is also back in the centres, while Tom Taylor is the starting pivot.
Welcome Welcome to the second of Saturday's Super Rugby clashes as the buoyant Cheetahs roll on to the Crusaders, fresh off a potentially season-turning win at the Rebels last week. But the Crusaders are back in Canterbury for the first time since the earthquake of 2011, fresh off a bye week, and with a lot to prove after two losses in three.

Greg Kelly Won't Be Charged with Rape, But Who Is His Accuser? Where Did It All Go Down?
Greg Kelly, the popular television host, has been cleared of his rape allegations — he won't even face charges. When word of the rape accusation first hit the presses, all we knew was that it had allegedly taken place at a "lower Manhattan law firm." Well, now we know the name of the accuser, and the name of the "downtown law firm" where the alleged rape occurred….

I became a lawyer without really understanding that the job cuts time off of your life. My work hours are long, I can't see my family or friends, and I am constantly at the mercy of the partner or the client. On top of everything, at one point, I was paying 7% on my law school loans. […]

McCain-Palin Pit Bulls Turn Feral
There's a long history in American politics of exploiting divisions and fanning bigotry to win elections. In recent decades those strategies were honed by Lee Atwater and Karl Rove. Now the torch has passed to Steve Schmidt, and he's done just about everything possible to fan the flames.
Schmidt's tactics and the right-wing echo chamber have convinced millions of Americans that the nation is about to elect someone who hates America and "pals around with terrorists." Just take a look at this video of supporters outside a Palin rally:
In recent weeks, the right wing has grown even more frenzied as McCain and his allies pushed the ACORN voter fraud hoax. Not only is Obama a Manchurian candidate, the thinking goes, but his evildoer comrades at ACORN are trying to steal the election. It's little wonder that some people are going berserk.
McCain, Palin, Schmidt, Limbaugh, Hannity and the rest of them have created something very powerful, but very ugly, and it's grown too big for them to control. Here is just some of what happens when you train your pit bulls to fear and hate and attack, and then they get loose:
Obama lawn sign replaced by rebel flag
Obama sign burned on black family's front lawn
Anti-Obama Fury Spills Over Into Down-Ticket Contests: "Bomb Obama"
Death threat, vandalism hit ACORN after McCain comments
ACORN Deluged with Threatening and Racist Voicemails and Emails
Obama Called a Socialist and 'Un-American'
McCain supporters heckle early voters
Dead bear covered with Obama signs found at school
People For the American Way is tracking such incidents around the nation. If something happens in your community that people should know about, please get in touch.

6AS7 ppp
I've been looking at the tubes in my nice old scope and the 6080 (6AS7) tubes caught my attention. Big twin triodes! I've seen these used in OTL power amps and headphone amps.
I've also been contemplating a PPP 6aq5 design (not S5 please! Yuk.) Anyone see any PPP schematics out there for 6AS7's? OTL power amps? |

I've seen a couple more designs and there seems to be a couple common themes. These guys aren't real too stable and you'll need 32-64 ohm speakers for the best results.
An octet of 8ohm little Tang-Band speakers for each channels should have interesting results. It is true that the more 6AS7's the lower the impedance gets? |

Ive been playing around with the curves and simulations (generic triode model from Duncan Amps for LTspice) with the 6AS7 for the last ~20 hours to develop an OTL amp with 8 of these per channel that has evolved from a SE class A to PP.
Other than in the output stage of an OTL amplifier or as a series pass element is a PSU where low internal resistance is a requirement, I wouldnt use these tubes. Their linearity is not particularly good and neither is their mu. Coupling transformers avaliable with a low enough primary impedance for a bunch of these in PPP may not have highest primary inductance and best bass response either. Cheers, Glen EDIT: Doh! I just read your post again and I see that you actually are talking about OTL amps. |

After many hours of playing around I've come to the conclusion that the circolotron topology is the best around for building an OTL amp.
I've simulated Robert Kunz's output stage. THD at 60W into 8 ohms is ~6% (1kHz), almost all 3rd harmonic. Cheers, Glen |

My gut feeling has always been that the 6080 tube can give most of its performance with output transformers. With the low ratio the transformer can avoid most of the issues generally encountered with transformer coupling and achieve very large band widths. Because of the low output impedance it will have plenty of bite on low inductance transformers. I'm certain that in your researches you will have come across a number of designs successfully using the 6080 with mains toroidals as outputs. This works surprisingly well and the amp that results is very sweet. PP seems the best way to go to avoid the intrinsic none linearity of this tube. My version beat SY's Red Light district by a long margin. Class A and no feedback gives a very SE sound from these valves.
OTL just seems so damn wasteful of heat and valves. Shoog |

That scematic that was posted is definitely a Circlotron! Look at the Atma-Sphere designs for the best in Circlotrons. The Atma-spheres run most standard speakers just fine.
I have Two of Ralph Karstons early prototypes myself! each with 8 tubes per channel and i am going to build a 14 tube version next winter. Zc |

Do you have a schematic handy for your implementation? I've read some of your other posts and I'm curious about the results. It's just that I've got a TEK power supply which a ton of 6.3v juice. I guess I could also create some monster ppp 6aq5 with it too. |

- Xlnt value, and better product! Review by Rex Razer
Price Value Quality I received my new Tipton Gun Vise just 7 days after ordering it from Rural King's company store in Illinois. I ordered from a most gracious customer assistant who seemed to take care of all the details of my transaction and then some. Even though I'm in California the representative seemed confident that I'd receive my product in "less than a week", she told me. UPS delivered the gun vise, securely packed and shipped via their Ground Service about a week later and I was very stoked about the whole deal.
Amazon.com had the gun vise priced at about $115 or so, including shipping, so paying a mere $49.99, no sales tax also, was a blessing I appreciated a lot! I had never under-shopped Amazon to that day, and will probably not again see such a value but there it was safe and sound in my front room all ready for use on my pellet rifles and pistols.
The gun vise is finished like a specialty tool should be, with some very innovative features. It looks like it's made of heavy metals, but once you pick it up and feel the light weight you know different. The vise will adapt to any rifle or pistol I believe, although I've only used it on my pellet rifles and pistols, as there are a myriad of adjustments for stock and barrel configurations.
I am totally happy with the price I paid, and the service was first class all the way from Rural King's telephones and representatives. The Tipton Gun Vise is in a class of its own also, so what a great experience buying it from Rural King was!(Posted on 4/5/13)

Redlegs Review

Nothing. That's just the true and simple answer. Most people don't pay any attention to spring training numbers unless a player just has gaudy stats and someone wants to make a mention of them, like Reds prospect Henry Rodriguez who is currently hitting .571 (8-14) with a .600 OBP as of Monday morning. For one thing, the sample size you get during spring training just isn't big enough to make any real predictions. Mainly, you just want all your players to get to Opening Day with their health.
Still, it's hard not to look at the stats and wonder if they really mean anything for the upcoming season. It's just human nature to want to measure your favorite players' performances and since a lot of fans can't see the games, the only way to do so is to check out their statistics.
Let's see how this year's projected Reds lineup and pitching staff did in spring training (ST) of 2012 versus the regular season (RS). I'm just going to do some simpleton math to analyze some of these number...

Flow NXT AT Snowboard Binding
nxt at's
These bindings looked amazing so i bought them. my second time using them they broke, very disappointing. They are very hard to get out of. the back latch is very difficult, it feels like your going to break the binding trying to undo the latch. But once they are on, they are great bindings. Overall, They are not worth the $200+ pricetag though.

Old School Bar and music venue coming to Main Street
Date: August 29, 2013
by: David Conway | News Editor
Karl Raffurty says he grew up watching "Cheers" and that he always wanted to be Sam Malone. Now, minus the major-league experience, his dream is about to become a reality.
Raffurty, who spent 17 years as a bartender at the Resort at the Longboat Key Club, is opening his own bar and grill, Old School, Thursday, Sept. 5. The bar, located at 1991 Main St., will also serve as a music venue and be open until 2 a.m. daily.
Staff at the Key Club said both guests and employees at the resort will sorely miss him, but, after nearly two decades in one place, Raffurty decided he was ready to tackle a bigger challenge.
"I plateaued a long time ago at the Key Club, and I wanted more," Raffurty said.
Although starting a business can be a risky venture, Raffurty won't be going it alone. He's working with Chuck Johnson, a business owner from Nashville, whom he met at the Key Club five years ago.
Johnson owns several restaurants and two bars in Nashville. When he started talking with Raffurty about opening a bar in Sarasota, he didn't hesitate to help the bartender along the road to his goal.
"With my background of knowing people and reading people, it was an easy decision to put my investment and time into helping him," Johnson said.
Their plans expanded beyond a standard bar into a place that would regularly feature live music — Southern rock, classic rock and country will be featured genres.
Johnson, whose Nashville bars also feature live music, said he believes there's demand in Sarasota for a livelier bar aimed at a younger demographic.
"I was totally surprised when I came here for the first time," Johnson said. "I thought this was where the old people came, but there's a young, hip group that comes here."
The two are on the same page as far as the bar's atmosphere; "laidback" is clearly a key phrase. The bar will eventually have a capacity of around 350 people, Johnson said, and the two have already developed a vision of the décor.
"We wanted to keep it with nice, cool colors, but also put in some stuff we hadn't seen in a while — old signs, old records, old kind of stuff," Johnson said. "Anything from the '70s or '80s."
Raffurty and Johnson encourage people to bring in anything they want to donate that could fit the bar's theme.
Johnson said the bar will host an invite-only VIP party to introduce themselves to people before officially opening at 9 p.m. Sept. 5.
Raffurty's former co-workers at the Key Club are convinced his new venture will be a success. Carole McCann, who bartended alongside Raffurty for his entire tenure at the resort, said his genuine and funny personality made him a hit with visitors.
"Thousands of people love him — from all over the world, literally," McCann said.
Johnson said that, as with any new venture, there are some nerves involved for everyone, but that any anxiety will go away as soon as the first customers enter. If Raffurty is nervous, though, he's not letting it show.
"It's my goal," Raffurty said. "This was what I've always wanted to do, and it's happening right now, so I'm excited."
"They come back, year after year, and the highlight of their experience was to see Karl."
