Building a sound system - either in a fixed installation or for touring - is often a highly personal process (from deciding what to get, to assembling and using it).
The main objectives, however, are generally less personal. A PA system has to fulfil two main purposes:
• The sound level and quality has to be adequate for the purpose (see system design). The single most important factor in this is the loudspeakers you use. Choose them carefully, and get the best you can afford.
• It has to be easy to operate for the end-user. If it is a touring system, that also means it must be easy to transport, set up, and take down.
For this, there are a few simple guidelines that will make life on the road much easier.
1. Flightcase everything. One big box on wheels is a lot less bother to move about than lots of little boxes you have to carry one or two at a time, and it is easier to keep track of one box than five. However, allow for the fact that you may sometimes need to lift it, and try not to make any box too heavy for a few strong men to handle.
A flightcased amplifier or effects unit will last indefinitely, and will look like new when it is ten years old. Carry it loose and it will be missing a couple of knobs, sporting a couple of scratches, and looking ten years old before it is out of warranty. Wrapping it in a blanket won't give it enough protection, but will still take time and trouble every time you do it.
Consider buying or making dedicated cases for things like microphones. If you have a foamed case with ten microphone-shaped cut-outs you can see at a glance whether there are ten microphones in it (if you carry them loose, or in some other way, you have to count them every time you want to know if they are all there). Also, you will notice instantly if one is missing, and anyone thinking of stealing one will know that. Nothing is foolproof, thief-proof or tamper-proof, but don't make it harder than necessary to keep an eye on things.
2. Label everything. Anyone finding or using it might need to know
a. Who it belongs to. It is much less likely to walk
if it is obvious whose it is, and will stand some chance of finding its way back to you if it is mislaid or left behind.
b. What it is (or, if it is a container, what is in it). If you need to find it, it is much quicker and easier to read what is on the lid than to open every box.
c. Which way is up. Opening a rack-drawer full of spare bits and pieces the wrong way up will take longer to sort out than it would have taken to stencil a couple of arrows on the box.
d. Where it needs to be. Local crew will often help with loading in (although loading out is often another story). If it says STAGE on it in large letters, they won't need to ask you where to put it, and with a bit of luck they will take it to the right place.
Cables require special attention. Usually (but not inevitably) you can tell what a cable is meant for by the type of connectors on the ends of it. However, it is less easy to tell at a glance...
e. ...How long it is. One common convention is to use coloured markers to show how long it is. While there is no universal standard, another common convention is to use standard resistor colour codes (Black = 0, Brown = 1, Red = 2, Orange = 3, Yellow = 4, Green = 5, Blue = 6, Violet = 7, Grey = 8, White = 9). A 5-metre cable might as well have green markers on it as any other colour. Other than for specific jobs on a fixed installation, cable-length does not need to be exact, so you don't need microphone cables of every imaginable length: a couple of different lengths will generally cater for most jobs. For stage use, 5m and 10m lengths are useful (although each can be a bit on the short side for some jobs, so you might want to go for 6m and 12m cables instead). You can chain XLR cables if a single cable isn't long enough for the distance it has to cover, but if you expect to be working in arena-sized venues you may need 20m cables as well.
f. Which one it is. There might be 20 or more cables converging at the stage-box end of the multicore. Plugging something into the wrong channel is easily done, but if both ends of each cable have a unique identifier (numbering cables is one simple option) it is easily checked and put right. Otherwise, tracing the wire all the way across stage is at best time-consuming.
g. Where the one you want is. If all your microphone cables - regardless of length - are in a big pile, it may take some time to find a short one. One useful thing about XLR connectors is that they can be chained together, so a handy way to store them is on a reel. If you number them as well - and put them on the reel in number-order - you don't have to count them to know they are all there. When you want a 5m cable, you just take one off the end of the 5m reel. This method also reduces twisting and kinking, so your cables will last longer.
Connector panels also need to be clearly marked. OK, you can generally make an intelligent guess as to which input is which, but if there is a label (e.g. Monitor One) then you know, and - more to the point - so does the local helper with the IQ of a root vegetable.
Colour coding can be helpful here, as well. For example, several mixer manufacturers use yellow for master faders and red for group/auxiliary faders. If all your monitor leads, cases and connectors are red, and all the front-of-house ones are yellow, plugging it all up is much easier to make sense of for any willing but untrained helpers. As a coincidence, Red = 2 and Yellow = 4, so if your front-of-house speaker system is on four-core cable and the monitors are on two-core that would work too!
For things that never change, relatively permanent labels are best (a label printer is useful, and transparent heatshrink will make sure cables stay labelled). For things that change from show to show, tour plates or tags and a marker pen are in order.
3. Be consistent. Use the same colour and numbering schemes throughout, and use the same name for the same thing everywhere you refer to it (don't call it Monitor A
on the multicore and Wedge 1
on the amp rack).
Although there are few absolutely universal wiring conventions (apart from mains electricity: if you don't know mains wiring conventions, LEAVE IT ALONE), the following are common defaults:
a. XLR. Pin 1 = Ground/Screen, Pin 2 = Signal +/Hot, Pin 3 = Signal −/Cold.
b. TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve, balanced) Jack. Tip = Signal +/Hot, Ring = Signal −/Cold, Sleeve = Ground/Screen.
c. TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve, insert) Jack. Tip = Send, Ring = Return, Sleeve = Ground/Screen.
d. Speaker connectors. Pin 1/Odd = Signal−/Cold, Pin 2/Even = Signal+/Hot. Lowest numbered pair = lowest frequency speakers, higher numbered pairs = higher frequency speakers (in ascending order in all cases).
If you use cables with non-standard wiring (e.g. ground-lifted, polarity-reversed, or pad connections), make sure these can be easily distinguished from other cables. If the difference is at one end of the cable (e.g. pin 1 is disconnected at one end only), make that easy to see from the label too.
4. Organise your equipment and cabling. If a compressor can stay more-or-less permanently in the same rack connected to the same insert loom, put it there and wire it in. If you have 10 processors in your rack, connect them all to a single IEC mains distribution unit (or if you have to have 13A plugs, screw or Velcro a couple of 6-way 13A boards into the back of the rack). The less plugging and unplugging you have to do, the easier it is to set up and put away, and the longer your cables, connectors and equipment will last. If cables are always used in a group (inserts and sends/returns in your effects racks are an obvious candidate for this), either group them by taping them together, or make up a dedicated loom. Plastic cable ties can keep cables in the back of a rack tidy, but if you need to re-patch more often than once in a blue moon it may be easier to use Velcro ties, or even leave them loose.
Amplifiers and controllers generally live together, so can be patched together in the same flightcase. It also makes life easier if you make up patch-panels to bring the plug-in points to the front of the rack, rather than grovelling about in the back of it every time you connect or disconnect an input or speaker lead.
5. Only use professional connectors. Although other good quality brands exist, we only use Neutrik connectors on our signal and speaker cables, and some of our oldest cables are still in perfect working condition after over 20 years of regular use. Modern electronic equipment is very reliable, and most system faults come down to faulty interconnections. Cable and connector problems do not always stop there: shorted outputs can burn out transistors (on line-level as well as power amplifier outputs). Shorted input wires can put 48V phantom power across an expensive microphone coil. Ultra low-budget connectors are a false economy. Even if they don't do any other damage, in five years you'll spend more on replacing them than you would if you had used decent ones in the first place.
The same applies to cable. For touring use, the main things to look for are flexibility (go for rubber cable that coils easily), good conductors (OFC - Oxygen Free Copper - is pretty much universal), and plenty of conductor area (at least 2.5mm core) for loudspeaker cable. Don't use unbalanced cable even for unbalanced leads, and use balanced leads and components wherever possible.
6. Test everything before you take it on the road. If the whole system or any part of it doesn't work in your workshop (...lock-up, garden shed, living room...), it isn't going to work when you get to the venue. Use a cable tester (if you don't have one already, buy one before you do anything else), and check every new cable, whether you have bought it or made it yourself. Check signal inputs and outputs on every channel of every new piece of equipment, and if you are wiring it into a rack, check it again after you have wired it in. Never assume that because it is new it is in working order. If you think testing things is a bit of a pain, wait until you have to fault-find five minutes after the show should have started.

USA Rugby names Marin Pinnell female coach of the year; Fallbrook coach has 3 national championships to her creditThursday, March 20th, 2014 Issue 12, Volume 18.
"Its really exciting," said Pinnell, who was unable to travel to Philadelphia for the summit and banquet and will receive her award by mail. "Im honored and its really cool and I hope that Im a model for other coaches." This is Pinnells seventh year coaching the Fallbrook Rugby Club program. She currently coaches the under-18 girls team and the under-15 girls team. The under-18 girls team won its third consecutive national championship in May; in Pinnells first six years the team was also the national runner-up one other year. The under-15 division is new to the Southern California Rugby Football Union; that classification merges the under-14 and under-16 divisions in place during 2013. Pinnell coached the under-14 and under-16 teams in 2013, and her three teams had a combined record of 35-1. Three of her players - current Fallbrook High School senior Casey Karl and current juniors Richelle Stephens and Emma Workman - attended USA Rugbys initial Stars vs. Stripes camp July 9-13 in Greeley, Colorado (current Fallbrook High School junior Steven Branham was one of the boys who attended the camp, which culminated in July 13 games). Last years USA Rugby junior all-Americans included 2013 Fallbrook High School graduate Megan Pinson, who was also named by rugbymag.com as the 2013 girls high school player of the year and who is now attending American International College on a full rugby scholarship. "The programs doing well," Pinnell said. Pinnell and her husband, Craig, run the Advertisement Numerous parents have served as assistant coaches or as leaders of non-coaching functions. "We have lots of parents that help us out," Pinnell said. "Weve developed that over seven years so that not one person has all the work." Marin and Craig Pinnell have been married for 15 years. "I had no rugby experience before I married him," she said. Marin Pinnell, who now teaches at Fallbrook High School, is a 1994 Fallbrook High School graduate who spent four years as a player in the Warriors field hockey program. She did not play any sports at the University of California, San Diego, when she attended college. Craig Pinnell is originally from South Africa. "He was very into rugby," Marin said. Craig Pinnell, who was raised in Kwazulu-Natal, played rugby in high school. He played friendly games while he was serving in the army, although he was not on an official army team. The two met when Marin was a receptionist in the art gallery where Craigs aunt was the framing specialist. The aunt introduced the future couple to each other. Marin Pinnell visited her husbands family in South Africa and attended rugby matches for the first time. Craig Pinnell brought his love of rugby to Fallbrook. "He was kind of feeling homesick a bit, so rugby became an outlet," Marin said. "We just built on that and now its our life, our passion, and we really love it." Marin Pinnell doesnt play on any teams other than during practice. "We work hard and we put a lot of time into our team and our club, and it pays off with good results," she said. 4 comments
Congratulations Marin! A very well-deserved honor!
Fallbrook!!! Wake up!!! Rugby is here, and you will learn to love it. I did! Come out and watch these amazing young women athletes. Check out FALLBROOK GIRLS RUGBY CLUB on Facebook for game updates. CONGRATULATIONS to Marin (and Craig).
The energy Marin devotes to this team and to the sport in general is unparalleled and this honor is long over due. I've had the extreme privilege of coaching with Marin and her husband Craig for several years now and not only have I gained a true appreciation for this wonderful sport but I have also gained valuable lasting friendships with my fellow coaches, players and players parents. Congratulations Marin!
Marin is such an asset to Fallbrook. I have never met a coach who is so dedicated to her team. Congratulations! You deserve this as much as anyone ever has.

What does leadership look like?
This week, the Wellbrock family took our first bike ride of the year, enjoying a beautiful spring evening. For me, these are the elements which make bicycling unique from other activities: a fresh breeze whipping through my hair and touching my face; pumping the pedals and feeling the healthy burn in my muscles; moments sorting out my own thoughts while spending quality time with my family.
During our leisurely ride around the neighborhood, I discovered an interesting observation about leading and leadership. When we began, I took the lead cyclist role, with Gerard lagging behind our son so Garrett could remain in our protective pocket.
With my family "blind" to me, I kept trying to see them by looking continuously over my shoulder. With my focus on them rather than on obstacles ahead, I ultimately put all of us at a greater risk for harm — the exact opposite of what I wanted to accomplish.
Eventually, a left turn placed Gerard naturally in the lead, and I realized I became more comfortable with my surroundings. My son was still protected (yes, motherly instinct kicking in), and I had full view of my future (literally and figuratively). I now was able to communicate effectively with my family and give cycling advice to my son.
With my husband as our cycling leader, I suppose that makes me the follower to some people's perspective. Regardless of my position within the team, I was still demonstrating leadership by choosing the best role for the situation, providing guidance and better communication to my team, as well as cheering on the others to perform to their best.
On Tuesday, the class of Leadership Hays 2012 will meet for their final class before they officially graduate during our Chamber membership luncheon later this month. This will be the seventh session where 25 area citizens have studied in-depth on leadership techniques, helping each to be more effective at work, at home, at church and the community-at-large. Facilitation has evolved around the core concept that Leadership is not a role, a position or a title — it is an activity.
When wrapping up each session, each attendee shares an "AHA! Moment" (you know, the moment the cranial light bulb clicks on and you can see things more clearly?) regarding the day's activities or discussion.
Verbally describing an experience creates a more impactful, long-lasting impression for students. The cycling story above was my "AHA!," my example of leadership in action and my personal attempt to better understand the complexity of effective leadership. As I would ask the students of Leadership Hays, "What does leadership look like to you?"
If you aren't satisfied with your answer, than perhaps Leadership Hays would be a great opportunity for you. We would love to have you join us for the class of 2013!
Tammy Wellbrock is executive director of the Hays Area Chamber of Commerce.

Luther Campbell, the man whose booty-shaking madness made the U.S. Supreme Court stand up for free speech, gets as nasty as he wants to be for Miami New Times. This week, Luke crowns ESPN talking head Skip Bayless the king of race-baiting.
I have to hand it to Skip Bayless. The 60-year-old ESPN commentator is the Rush Limbaugh of sports journalism. He has built a cottage industry playing the role of the angry white guy on the show First Take, in which he debates other sports journalists and ex-athletes, usually African-Americans, on racially charged topics. For instance, in January 2011, Bayless caused a ruckus when he applauded the fact that L.A. Clippers star Blake Griffin is half Anglo. "Yeah, I'll be the first to admit on national TV that I take a little pride because he came from a white mother," he said.
Bayless is a native Oklahoman with a degree in English and history from Vanderbilt University. A lot of folks don't know he started his career with the Miami Herald. He went on to write for the Los Angeles Times, the Dallas Morning News, the Dallas Times Herald, the Chicago Tribune, and the San Jose Mercury News.
Bayless honed his skills as a cub reporter relentlessly attacking African-American players. At age 25, he wrote a column blasting Hall of Fame Dallas Cowboy running back Tony Dorsett as an "All-Pro con man" and opened with the line, "before we tar and feather Tony Dorsett..." Obviously, Dorsett was more than upset; he noted that tarring and feathering is often associated with the lynching of black men in the Deep South.
But that didn't stop Bayless. In fact, he has become one of the highest-paid sports columnists in the nation, as well as a recurring face on ESPN, where he dispenses his special brand of race baiting.
Most African-American journalists and sports celebrities don't like him. Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs called Bayless a douchebag to his face during an interview shortly after the team lost to the New England Patriots in the AFC title game in January. Black columnist Stephen A. Smith recently flipped him the middle finger on-air. And Charles Barkley annointed Bayless the "biggest jackass in the history of journalism." But Bayless is just saying what his audience wants to hear. If he weren't pulling in viewers, there is no way ESPN would keep him under contract.
As sad as his commentary may be, Bayless represents the worldview of people just like him: middle-aged, middle-class white dudes who despise successful millionaire African-American athletes.

As much as I hate Skip Bayless and agree with some of your points on him, you, sir, are a hypocrite. Is it wrong for a white man to be proud that a prominent athlete is part white in today's society? No (but yes according to you). If Asians can be proud of Lin, and African American's of fellow members of their race, white men can also be proud. I'm so sick of the race card and reverse racism in sports today. Who cares!? It is journalists like you and Skip Bayless that continue this type of commentary and drag everyone into it.
There is nothing racist about saying "tar and feather". It's a common expression and anyone can twist something like that into a context that is offensive. If anything, I would claim that tarring and feathering is associated with English forms of punishment, therefore, white men.
Be proud of who you are and where you came from, stand up for yourself, but let's keep the race out of sports journalism.
I don't like the guy as much as the next guy but to just point to race is stupid. why is it that when the African American community doesn't like someone they goto great lengths to show that he's a racist? 2 comments made over a 40 year career doesn't make him racist. he has plenty of black friends and makes his money off of a sport dominated by mostly African Americans. He is purely an entertainer and that's what he does, entertain. provide a catalyst to a show that would just be sports enter with a little more commentary.
Skip Bayless is the perfect example of what is wrong with sports media. Since when does being an opinionated writer with no playing or coaching background make you an authority on sports? race in sports? and ripping apart the performances of grown men on the field? A college degree does not equal real world or team sports knowledge or experience. He had made his living off of being a negative presence on the air waves. He knows nothing of the process of what it takes to become a professional athlete or what it takes to maintain that. He knows nothing of the pressures or preparation of coaching. Hopefully the day will come when I can debate him with the cameras on, until then, I will listen to only those that look at things from both sides and have some knowledge of what they see not just a negative opinion.
He and Stephen A are friends and SKip is a good dude. Its funny how those weak worthless examples you managed to dig up after 30-40 years are so benign and basically serve to disprove your theory that he is this king of race-baiting.As if it is a crime for black of white people to feel some pride for Blake Griffen..Dude, you are stretching for straws and straining at knats and whats more is its fairly obvious you are doing it to try to get some free pub.Sad you are what you wrongly accuse others of being.
the king if race baiting luke is al sharpton, jessie jackson, farrakahn, obama. and when a great American like Herman Cain comes along, you statest media destroys him. when you media people vett obama? Stick to music Luke
historically tarring and feathering was used on white tax collectors from britain, did you skip 5th grade history?
I dont read anything by the trashy author of this article. I knew from the title who it was. The biggest racist in the "media".
What about people who despise succesful millionaires of all races? What's so wrong about being white and having millions?
Barack Obama is a race baiter, but Herman Cain is a "great" American..... Okay.
They also did that to snake oil salesman back in the day. Really it was anyone that needed to be identified as a person that wasn't on the up & up with whoever they dealt with. Race had something to do with it when it was done by the KKK to African Americans.

I'm so sick of people telling me stupid reasons for why I should use vanilla GTK rather than using features from libgnome, libgnomeui, etc. The only good reason I can think of is if there is a portability issue (there may be, or there may not be.. I have not checked). But today I was getting stupid arguments like, "Some people have somehow fucked up something in their distro or are doing something wrong when compiling it". This sort of stuff just pisses me off. The only people who would be held back from using the extra features of Gnome, vs using just GTK, are stupid people. I don't care about stupid people.
Another argument was that some people can't spare the extra bandwidth to download the Gnome libs and stuff. That's such bullshit. Then there was the argument that they can't really spare the extra disk space, even though it is a small amount. Bullshit.
The application in question is a GUI developer tool for developers using NeoEngine. It's not a tool for end users. So if a "developer" is that low on disk space, I think they're going to have a hard time developing anything anyway. So this was all such a stupid discussion.
Totally rocked. I'm going to go see it again next weekend, because I liked it so much. I can't wait until the release of both volumes together on DVD. I'll buy that in a heartbeat.
I saw on Conan's show that there is a Kill Bill action figure. It's The Bride (Uma Thurman's character) in her cool yellow outfit, with a fucking big, red splotch of blood on the front of the shirt. It's so cool. But it's an amusing toy because action figures are "for kids", but I think most parents would object to their kids having this fucking bloody Uma Thurman action figure. I want to get one now! =)

Gearlog takes a look at "Device Stage", a new feature of Windows 7 that adds a series of XML-based indices that try to unify the interaction of using devices that may have lots of different functionality. Which is a jerky way of saying that it'll make it easier to see what your magic-do-all printer is doing in one menu, while at the same time allowing the vendors to integrate ominous menu items like "Buy Ink" into your Windows 7 context menu.
Color me deeply suspicious.

KrystalPuerto RicoHairChemically Treated HairAmazing Dryer & Smooth HairAt first I wasnt sure of which dryer to buy. But with all these positive reviews and good price, I just had to give this dryer a try. And I was amazed, it is a bit heavy but it does the work very well. The trick for the dryer is getting rid of your split ends, use a heat activated spray/cream, and a ceramic brush.I have frizzy hair and after using the Solia dryer my hair was incredibly soft and smooth (with a bit of hair polisher). I totally recommend it to anyone who wants stunning hair.posted Aug 14, 2007Link to this post
TiffMichiganPretty GoodVery nice, lightweight blow dryer. It blow dried my hair quick and easy. My hair was smooth, however, I thought that it would feel more moist....and I used moisturizer.posted Aug 14, 2007Link to this post
AnonymousApex, NCHappy With My PurchaseI have thick wavy hair that really holds onto water. With some dryers, by the time I get my hair mostly dry Im so hot that Ive started sweating (which makes my hair curl up) and I have to take a break from drying my hair just to cool off. I havent had this happen using the Solia. I feel this dryer represents a good value and am very pleased with the quality.posted Aug 6, 2007Link to this post
GeriHawaiiFast And Shinyi ordered this product because of the reviews i read on folica. I have soft and naturally wavy hair. When i read about the air speed of this dryer, i was hesitant thinking it would be too much for soft hair. it did exactly what the previous customers stated in their reviews. the air speed is awesome but yet it did not tangle or dry it out. in fact, because of the air speed my naturally wavy hair brushed out so smooth and silky. I think if anyone had a bad experience with this tool, it must be due to incorrect usage -- like any other dryer, you shouldnt hold it close to your hair and there should always be some kind of silicone conditioner applied before blow drying. This is a GREAT product.posted Aug 3, 2007Link to this post
MaryGreen Valley, AZSolia 1875w Thermal Ionic Hair DryerI am very satisfied with this hairdryer. It is very high quality at a very fair price. It is so far the best hair dryer I have owned. Has great power options and heat levels and easy to handle (not too big or bulky). Also, like the extra long cord. I think the ionic makes my hair a bit shinier too. I have always purchased "drug store" model hair dryers. This is my first "professional" hair dryer purchase and I highly recommend it. I also think the 1875W on this dryer is more powerful than an 1875W on drugstore models. Super dryer at a super price!posted Aug 2, 2007Link to this post
SylviaWestlake Village, CaliforniaBest Hair Dryer I Have Ever OwnedThis is by far the best hair dryer I have ever bought. I used to buy Solanos but they fried pretty quickly and they were too heavy. They also tended to dry my hair out. Then I switched to an ionic dryer and I could not understand why my hair alwsay turned out frizzy and dried at the end. Well, after using the Solia, I know that it was my hair old dryer that caused it. My hair dresser uses the T3, but my hair looks better when I do it myself with the Solia - its straight, bouncy, shiny and soooo soft!posted Aug 2, 2007Link to this post

GinnyColumbia, MDHairChemically Treated HairWhat An Amazing Dryer!I read the great reviews for this dryer & decided to try it because my dryer was about to give out. I expected a higher level of performance than my cheap model was totally blown away by how well & how fast it dryed my thick coarse hair & especially how it left it frizz free! I tell everyone how great this dryer is! It is well-balanced in the hand & because it dries quickly, the little extra weight isnt noticeable. I would never buy another brand other than Solia!posted Aug 1, 2007Link to this post
Karen MurphyBaton Rouge, LAAwesome ProductIve had this product for a couple of months now and really enjoy it. It does everything they say it does.posted Jul 27, 2007Link to this post
AndreaNew York, NYAwesome!I really love this blowdryer. I am a stylist and was looking for a good blowdryer because my Twin Turbo and Elchim burned out every time and I am sick of replacing them 3 times a year. So, I ran across this one on the website, and bought it. I used it for about a week and LOVE IT! My clients say that it takes me less time to blow dry their hair, and also their hair looks so much shinier! The guy that usually fixes my dryers came in like a week after I bought the Solia, and said that he had the part to fix my ultra powerful Twin Turbo 3200(that I loved and never thought I could ever find anything that powerful) and when he gave me my fixed Twin Turbo, I literally felt the difference in the heat from my Solia, and the TT. I brought my TT home, and decided that will keep the Solia for the salon. Its a GREAT blower, and the cord that it comes with is extra long, so its great!!! Highly recommend it!posted Jul 19, 2007Link to this post

Australians now have many more free-to-air television channels that can be viewed on the digital only streams that now come from the broadcasters as analogue was switched off altogether in December 2013. While we many have extra channels to view, we still only have the same amount of time to manage, so our viewing habits have started to tip so that more catch-up TV is being watched but most of us like to view live TV.
The market share of internet-enabled smart TVs and 3DTVs is still well below 50%, but these devices are seeing increased uptake to watch IPTV and other online or downloaded content. Into the mid-2010s and onwards to 2020 we will continue to see digital technologies increasing its market share of the entertainment and media industries as the national broadband network increases its spread across Australia.
These changing market conditions are impacting both the FTA and subscription TV industries and both these industries are vying for increased market share so as to remain profitable as the sector changes in the digital era. They continue to provide apps for smartphones, tablets and on smart TVs that allow viewers differing access methods to content and/or their TV programs. The FTA channels are counting on the use of Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV) technology allowing viewers since late 2014 to watch catch-up TV direct on the TV set using FreeviewPlus.
This report provides an overview on the FTA market in Australia as well as an overview of trends. The information and analysis is provided and in a range of formats including text, tabular and easy-to-read chart formats.
Advertising revenue to decrease in the FTA networks, digital TV, advertising and content, increased Australian content across all channels, increased watching of TV may come from catch-up streaming, and over the air using the FreeviewPlus EPG.

Epidermolysis bullosa is a group of disorders in which skin blisters form after a minor injury. It is passed in families.
Junctional epidermolysis bullosa; Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa; Hemidesmosomal epidermolysis bullosa; Weber-Cockayne syndrome
There are four main types of epidermolysis bullosa:
Another rare type of epidermolysis bullosa called epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, is an autoimmune disorder .
Epidermolysis bullosa can vary from minor blistering of the skin to a life-threatening form that affects other organs. Most types of condition start at birth or soon after. It can be hard to identify the exact type of epidermolysis bullosa a person has.
Having a family history of the disease, and especially having a parent with it, is a risk factor.
Depending on the form of the condition, symptoms can include:
Your doctor will look at your skin to diagnose epidermolysis bullosa.
Tests that are used to confirm the diagnosis include:
Skin tests are used to tell epidermolysis bullosa acquisita in a child from other forms of epidermolysis bullosa.
Other tests that may be done include:
Growth rate will be checked often for a baby who has or may have epidermolysis bullosa.
The goal of treatment is to prevent blisters from forming and avoiding complications. Other treatment will depend on how bad the condition is.
The outlook depends on the severity of the illness.
Infection of the blistered areas (secondary infection ) is common.
Mild forms of epidermolysis bullosa improve with age.Very serious forms of epidermolysis bullosa have a very high mortality rate.
In the severe forms, scarring after blisters form may cause:
If your infant has any blistering shortly after birth, call your health care provider. If you have a family history of epidermolysis bullosa and plan to have children, you may want to have genetic counseling.
Genetic counseling is recommended for prospective parents who have a family history of any form of epidermolysis bullosa.
During pregnanc, chorionic villus sampling to test the fetus is available. For couples at high risk of having a child with epidermolysis bullosa, the test can be done as early as week 8 - 10 of pregnancy. Talk to your obstetrician and genetic counselor.
To prevent skin damage and blistering, it may help to wear padding around injury-prone areas such as the elbows, knees, ankles, and buttocks. Contact sports should be avoided.
Patients with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita who are on steroids for longer than 1 month may need calcium and vitamin D supplements to prevent osteoporosis .

That would be Mike. I would however just like to take this opportunity to reinerate again how vastly overrated Reggie Miller was.
Try this on for size............... ESPN.com - NBA - Trade Machine Results= Keep in mind that we have AI now so we don't need that scoring that we counted on Rip for previously. I think Miller has a better all-around game and fits what we have in place better. Maybe?
Don't get me wrong, I love Rip but besides his scoring what else does he bring to the table? His D is weak (although tiring his guy out on the other end by trying to keep up with his nonstop running helps to tire him out) and he's not good rebounder or distributor.
I can't recall a time where another player said he was tired or appeared to falter from chasing Rip around all game.
I think people have become better at playing Rip. And in return, Rip scores in a lot more ways now than he used to. I know Mike Miller can score. Can he defend? We need help on defense, not offense. Our offense will come from our D. This crap about being able to the set the defense if we make shots is overblown IMO. Both trigger one another, but defense is effort, and if we had played D last night, even with our scoring woes, we might have been in that game.
It's really looking like Rip isn't as effective w/o CB. Rip for Caron Butler? Rip for Danny Granger? Rip for Kevin Martin? Rip for Manu? Rip for Josh Howard? Rip for OJ Mayo?
Boston's D is so dominated by KG, like our defense used to be anchored by Ben. It has a chain reaction where the perimeter defenders can cheat outward. We aren't scaring people away from our paint lately. Sheed is playing the PF's pretty well and Kwame is bodying up on the big centers, but the no fly zone has not been established in the least.
Maybe the trade should have been Rip and change for AI. We would still have CB at PG and managing the floor and Rip could cry in Denver. No confusion as to who the SG is and what is expected out of them.
Kwame Brown, Amir Johnson & 1st round pick to Charlotte for Gerald Wallace Richard Hamilton to the Clippers for Chris Kaman Sign Dice & Alonzo Mourning Pistons 2008 AI/Stuckey/Bynum Wallace/AA/Acker Prince/Herrmann/Sharpe Sheed/Dice/Max Kaman/Mourning
Maybe so. If Rip had signed the 5 year deal instead of CB and Afflalo was the guy of the future instead of Stucky then we may have saw that. I like this trade. May have to throw in a pick or something but it would be worth it. Nothing against Rip but we need more size.
No to trading Amir under any circumstances and no to acquiring Gerald Wallace, an average player at best. Rip is someone I would trade at the right price and since Rip and Kaman has approximately the same amount of money and the same amount of years, I'd make the trade and I'd give up a first rounder or two of this year's 2nd rounders.
Rip for Kaman would be soooo good for us. Start Afflalo in his place, get Kwame back to the bench, put an actual competent center next to Sheed...
Just found out Kaman has a trade kicker (15% added to his salary)... no deal happenin' this year... next year it's possible.

Southeast Engine: KEXP Video + Phenomenal PopMatters Piece + Alison Vagnini Photos + More!
Great Praise continues to roll in for Southeast Engine, including a phenomenal piece by Andrew Gilstrap of PopMatters called "Fear and Hope in the Great Depression," as well as a beautiful acoustic video of "Ruthie" (off SEE's Canary). The video was filmed live at Pickathon by the kindhearted badasses of KEXP in Seattle and The PopMatters article addresses the themes of both Canary (2011) and its companion EP Canaanville (2012).
In addition, the band had some wonderful new photos taken by the wildly talented Alison Vagnini while they were touring through Denver, CO on their way to Pickathon 2012. The first is up there for all to see.
Southeast Engine Continues to Impress | Mountain Stage Performance Rebroadcast
A week after the release of Canaanville, the praise continues to roll in. Andrew Gistrap describes Canaanville and Canary as "[o]ne of the most recent, and most striking portrayals of small-town life" in his eloquent field study for PopMatters. It's not every day they appear on a list with Kanye and Ben Gibbard, but in their "must hear countdown" AV Club says: "Old Oak Tree" is a sweet little tune about love, death, and small-town living." The boys even had a chance to catch up with WOUB.
In addition, NPR's Mountain Stage will be rebroadcasting Southeast Engine's performance from last October. You can listen to it on your local NPR affiliate on August 10th.

Denver police are searching for 2 gunman who robbed a 1stBank in Stapleton Wednesday morning
Bank employee hiding under desk calls 911
DENVER - Denver police are searching for two gunmen who robbed a 1stBank in Stapleton on Wednesday morning.
The robbery-in-progress was reported just before 10:30 a.m. in the 1stBank at 2850 Quebec St., according to police radio traffic.
A bank employee hiding under a desk called 911 to report two gunmen were in the bank's safe room, a dispatcher radioed to patrol cars rushing to the scene.
"Use extreme caution," the dispatcher warned officers.
The robbers, described as black men wearing white scarves on their faces, fled the bank on foot and police believe they jumped into a waiting silver minivan that took off.
Soon after the robbery, police said three black men abandoned the running silver minivan in the parking lot of Parkside at Stapleton Apartments, at 7780 E. 23rd Ave., less than 1 mile south of the bank. They got into a green BMW and took off, according to police radio traffic.
Police said one robber was wearing a teal baseball cap with a Florida Marlins emblem and a gray sweatshirt.
The other robber was about 5-feet-10-inches tall with a medium build. He was wearing a red baseball cap and a long yellow jacket.

The Mulberry-Garden (Sir Charles Sedley)
2 Annotations
Terry Foreman • Link
SEDLEY (Sir Charles) The Mulberry-Garden, A Comedy. As it is Acted by His Majesty's Servants at the Theatre-Royal. Written by the Honourable Sir Charles Sidley [sic], London, Printed for H. Herringman, at the Sign of the Blew Anchor in the Lower Walk of the New Exchange, 1675
Wing S2403; W & M, 1014. A...Restoration tragi-comical play which was first published and performed in 1668; Samuel Pepys, who had long looked forward to it, was severely disappointed. The play was then apparently revived for the 1674/5 season, and presumably also revised at this time....
The original Mulberry-Garden, to which the title refers, was a four acre orchard, planted by James I in 1609, on the site of the present (north-west corner of) Buckingham Palace. King James had been hoping to kickstart English silkworm production, but unfortunately chose the wrong sort of bush. Clement Walker in 'Anarchia Anglicana' (1649) refers to "new-erected sodoms and spintries at the Mulberry Garden at S. James's"; which suggests it may at that date have been a place of debauchery. In 1674, Goring House, which occupied part of the site adjacent to the Mulberry Garden, burnt down, which perhaps explains the play's revival at that particular date.

Song from The Mulberry Garden
AH, Chloris, that I now could sit
As unconcerned as when
Your infant beauty could beget
No pleasure, nor no pain.
When I the dawn used to admire,
And praised the coming day,
I little thought the growing fire
Must take my rest away.
Your charms in harmless childhood lay
Like metals in the mine:
Age from no face took more away
Than youth concealed in thine.
But as your charms insensibly
To your perfection pressed,
Fond Love, as unperceived, did fly,
And in my bosom rest.
My passion with your beauty grew,
And Cupid at my heart,
Still as his mother favored you,
Threw a new flaming dart.
Each gloried in their wanton part:
To make a lover, he
Employed the utmost of his art;
To make a beauty, she.
Though now I slowly bend to love,
Uncertain of my fate,
If your fair self my chains approve,
I shall my freedom hate.
Lovers, like dying men, may well
At first disordered be,
Since none alive can truly tell
What fortune they must see.
Sir Charles Sedley

Having some time under my belt now I've seen a few friends rework their steps with their sponsor. It got me thinking whether or not I should rework mine. I understand why people do it, it's maintenance for them, I get it. I don't know personally if I believe in redoing my steps however. In my opinion if you've done steps one through three thoroughly, you shouldn't have to redo them. If you know you're an addict/alcoholic and you've submitted to a higher power then you should know somewhere deep down at all times how important those three steps are and you may never lose that. Steps four and five are a little trickier however, those two steps probably involve some reworking at some point, maybe even a few times. Resentments build up no matter how thorough we are. Steps six and seven are a daily thing, we must continue to recognize our defects of character and work on them. Steps eight and nine are such an important part of this but if you're doing step ten properly and every day then you shouldn't have to rework eight and nine. Eleven is a daily process as is twelve and are a vital part of the program.
I feel like if I'm living in the steps and practicing the spiritual principles, then reworking my steps shouldn't be an issue. Not to say either of those things is easy, in fact its difficult at times but it gets easier the more I practice. Besides I get to rework my steps every time I take a new comer through their steps for the first time. That's why twelve is so important, if I continue to help a new guy and read each step and am thorough I get to do the steps again. It's a great program and it never ends if you practice it properly. I believe that 6,7,10,11 and 12 require daily adherence but the rest you can do each time you read with someone that's new.
This is all not to say that reworking your steps not vital to some. I think it works for some, I know people that don't sponsor and going through the steps with a new comer time after time is not an option. I know people that weren't as thorough as they could've been. Going through your steps again is beneficial to some. Maybe you just want to do them again to booster up a little. I guess what I'm trying to say is that to each their own. Either way it's your program and you have to work it however you see fit, and do whatever it takes to keep yourself sober.

3 Things to know When Instruction a Puppy
In reality, 1 way for each family members in typical! But many of us concur that on the subject of kids, particular factors are universal and undisputed. Below are about three concerns that a lot of guys and gals just tend not to feel of in relation to elevating their dogs which includes the way to potty train a dog, even so. How a lot of situations have we seen, "My puppy just will not likely hear to me", or "He just will not likely behave!" 1. Asking questions about puppy illnesses are really nice thing if you are not understanding anything entirely, but this post presents fastidious understanding yet.
Pet dogs will not acknowledge English until eventually we teach them.The issue we all adore about puppies by far the most would be the way they stay for us, just how they focus all they have got on us, the way our lives acquire into theirs. in the starting off, they analyze us to find our human body language, our facial expressions and our language. Till we coach them the English language, it's all they've got. If we say, "Wanna go out?" one particular day, "Have to go potty?" the subsequent day, and, "Hafta pee?" the 3rd day, whenever they DO determine out what we want, it is considering that we've selected up the leash and moved towards the door which has a pleased deal with! If you'd like to pace up his coaching by three-fold, educate him YOUR language. Choose a command for each and every habits and persist with it. Tell all with your home to make use of the identical words and instructions, and your puppy will amaze you at how significantly extra promptly he learns.
two. A young puppy's metabolism is racing along more rapidly than we truly feel.The youthful your pup is, the greater promptly he is growing, the added foods and water he must gas his metabolism, plus the much more frequently he needs to go potty. Don't punish your pet when he helps make a house-breaking miscalculation. These are typically YOUR fault. Your puppy's age in months and his breed measurement establish how typically he ought to go out. When an hour will not be as well often for a massive 6-week aged puppy, exclusively if it is summertime. Canines adore the fascinating smells outdoors, so there exists no justification to not have him housebroken by 7-8 weeks of age. Correct adhering to a nap, just after he eats and subsequent grooming will be the essential circumstances, and he'll signal you. If he is happily chewing a toy and will get up instantly together with his nose to your flooring, transfer speedily! And each time he goes potty outdoors, praise him to great heaven! "What a great BOYY!", "Very good go potty!" along with the like. Puppies adore our delighted faces, and so they will do anything at all for getting it.
a couple of. Pet dogs are living for our facial expressions and corporel language.Due to this, the worst punishment you actually necessitate to provide your canine is usually a scowl and to convert faraway from him. You are able to see his tail fall down and his confront get so unhappy. He'll find out the lesson, I guarantee it. But his interest span is simply three-5 minutes, so tend not to scorn him any more. Appreciate him up and give him your satisfied encounter as soon as more. Physical punishment is certainly not wanted. Use constant instructions and loving praise and he will know what you desire of him just before you know. He'll mature to become a grasp of your physique language and facial expressions very quickly by any means.Normally there are actually quite a few aspects of how to potty practice a pet nicely. Loving kindness functions just as appropriately for puppies since it does with kids, generating a happy, effectively-adjusted and obedient canine for life. These 3 critical strategies, utilized regularly with assurance, will get started him properly on his way.. For more information you can visit puppies health

Fuel your workout like a fitness professional
James King
Performance coach and personal trainer to professional athletes
Training time 8am
Training goal Increase fitness for Octathlon competition
Pre-workout "At 6.30am, I'll have a mug of green tea. It's great for clearing your digestive system and is full of health-boosting antioxidants and catechins. Immediately after this, I'll have some orange juice with two pieces of toasted rye bread, 5 scrambled eggs (3 yolks), raw spinach, watercress, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, olive oil and sea salt. Then at 7.20am, 40 minutes before my workout, I'll have a skinny latte with cinnamon. Cinnamon has been proven to slow gastic emptying, which helps control blood sugar levels and avoid insulin spikes."
Bonus A new study published in the journal Cell Metabolism found inorganic nitrate which spinach is bursting with increases the efficiency of the mitochondria that powers your cells, leading to more efficient muscular performance. It lowers blood pressure, too.
Post-workout "I consume a protein shake with 5g glutamine which minimises muscle breakdown while stretching for the last 10 minutes of my 60-minute session. It's vital that your blood sugar does not drop too low post-workout, otherwise your body may burn muscle for fuel instead of building it, and a protein shake is easy to get down the hatchet. While changing, I'll eat two bananas to top my blood sugar right up and help restore muscle glycogen (already preparing for the next session). Then, an hour and a half after my workout, I'll eat two tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches using oatmeal bread, with a handful of almonds and a handful of brazil nuts. Tuna protein has a high biological value (the body will digest and use almost all of it ) and it's also full of the good fats crucial for muscle growth.
Bonus A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association eating a daily portion of almonds cuts your bad cholestorol by 30%; while a study in the British Journal of Nutrition found regular almond-eaters reduce their likelihood of gaining weight by 31%. Chew them and you'll optimise nutrient absorption.

Interagency Laboratory Use:
Current Practices and Recurring Problems
PSAD-79-97: Published: Sep 4, 1979. Publicly Released: Sep 4, 1979.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
A review of contracting between Federal agencies for laboratory research and development tasks examined the extent and types of interagency laboratory use, the advantages of such arrangements, and the constraints and management problems which accompany interagency work.
Interagency laboratory work is one means to efficiently and effectively use the Government's research and development resources. There is no Government-wide policy or coordinating mechanism which specifically addresses contracting by one Federal agency with the laboratories of another. Rather, the missions, policies, practices, and capabilities of each agency require, encourage, or limit the nature and extent of interagency laboratory use. While interagency laboratory work occurs for a number of reasons and offers many advantages, concerns about relevance of work to a laboratory's mission and limits on available personnel can restrict the type or extent of interagency laboratory use. Interagency work is also accompanied by its own management problems. However, this review did not disclose any Government-wide problem with the ability of agencies to have research performed at other agencies' laboratories, indicating that, overall, cross-agency research needs can be satisfactorily handled. Nevertheless, the problems and constraints require continuous and aggressive attention by agency managers.

5 Technical Setups From the Twittersphere
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Investment ideas in 140 characters or less? That's the argument many traders are making for Twitter, the microblogging site that boasts more than 300 million users.
Brevity has been a big part of Twitter's success -- and a reason for the service's popularity among traders. After all, it doesn't take more than a few seconds to blast off a tweet about your latest trade, or thoughts about a significant market move. Third-party services such as StockTwits also aggregate stock market tweets in real time, providing an interesting sentiment gauge or an instant opinion on your latest position.
>>3 Cheap China Stocks Without the Risk
The Twittersphere heated up this summer when it was announced that a $40 million London-based hedge fund was now applying algorithms to Twitter to generate trading signals. That fund launch comes not too long after researchers at Indiana University, Bloomington found that Twitter could predict up or down days with 87.6% accuracy.
While there are still some issues with relying too heavily on Twitter for trading signals (a model with high predictive ability isn't necessarily economically viable), the site can be a good starting point for traders looking for stocks getting attention from the investing community. With that in mind, let's look at technical setups in five stocks and ETFs that are popular on Twitter this week. For the unfamiliar, technical analysis is a way for investors to quantify qualitative factors, such as investor psychology, based on a stock's price action and trends. Once the domain of cloistered trading teams on Wall Street, technicals can help top traders make consistently profitable trades and can aid fundamental investors in better planning their stock execution.

The annual Niraputhari festival was celebrated at Lord Ayyappa Temple at Sabarimala on Friday.
The Sannidhanam witnessed heavy rush early in the morning despite the downpour in the forests.
The ceremony began at 5.40 a.m. Devotees offered paddy spikes to the presiding deity in front of the holy 18 steps (Pathinettampady). Melsanthi (head priest) N. Damodaran Potti and his assistants took the paddy spikes offered to the deity to the Namaskara Mandapam.
Tantri (chief priest) Kandararu Rajeevararu, assisted by the Melsanthi, performed the Niraputhari rituals. The Putharipuja was performed and the paddy spikes were taken out in a ceremonial procession to the sanctum sanctorum to the accompaniment of the sacred Marappani and other temple percussion instruments. The Tantri later performed Deeparadhana after offering rice flakes (avil) made of the fresh paddy offered by the devotees as Nivedyam to the deity. The paddy spikes offered to the deity were distributed among the devotees as prasadam. It is believed that witnessing the annual ritual brings good luck and prosperity in the year ahead. N. Babu, Special Commissioner appointed by the Kerala High Court; K. Sankaranarayana Pillai, executive officer; and N. Velayudhan Nair, Ayapa Seva Sanghom general secretary, attended the ceremonial function.
Sahasrakalasabhishekom and Kalabhabhishekom were performed at the temple. Holy water (Brahmakalasom) and sandal paste (Kalabhom) in two golden urns were taken out in a customary procession to the sanctum sanctorum for pouring over the Ayyappa idol (abhishekom) prior to Utchapuja. Udayastamanapuja, Ashtabhishekom, Padipuja, and Pushpabhihekom were the other important rituals performed.
Kandararu Rajeevararu's one-year term as Tantri ends on August 16, and Kandararu Maheswararu, senior Tantri of the Thazhamon Madhom at Chengannur, will assume charge as Tantri at Sabarimala for the next one year on the Malayalam new year day on August 17.
The Ayyappa temple will reopen on August 16 afternoon for the five-day rituals in the month of Chingom in the Malayalam calendar to be held from August 17 to 21.
