dc.description.abstract | The study is concerned with how television advertising content in South Africa promotes diversity and nation building. It looks at whether advertising representations reflect the idea of a new South Africa. The basis of the study involves a thorough analysis of the International Marketing Council's (IMC) 'alive with possibility' television campaign through content analysis as well as Focus Group discussions. These advertisements are then comparatively examined with corporate advertisements on South African television. Post 1994 advertising was facing a new era with new challenges, especially due to the emerging black middle class as an important target market. Advertising in South Africa went through an enormous transformation, especially with regard to race and cultural representations and symbols of nationalism and patriotism. Some adverts, like those of the IMC, took on a specific didactic role to try and shift the perceptions of people. These ideals were also noticeable in corporate advertising in the country. Although television advertising itself went under transformation, people were unable to progress as quickly as broadcasting did. The dissertation looks at the variety of opinions regarding this type of advertising in South Africa. | en |

In this game, you control a bumper car, and the object is to bump your opponents off the gameboard while they do the same to you, and once you have managed to bump all your opponents off the board, you move on to the next round. If you take too long to complete a round, a fireball will strike one of the tiles on the board, causing them to collapse and making it more likely that you or your opponents are killed. In some rounds, you can get power-ups that give you extra bumping powers and the ability to jump over gaps. When you jump, you can break a tile to the point where it collapses, making it easier for opponents to fall down the gap that will be left there.Screenshots

Black eyeliner seems simple. And don't get me wrong, it really is simple; you just drag it along your lashes and you're done. But after chatting with makeup artist Pat McGrath backstage at Versace'S fall 2015 show, I realized that I could probably be a little more careful—and put a bit more effort into how I apply my black eyeliner in order to get it looking smoking, smoldering and incredibly sexy.

Face Tattoos Are Now Trending (for Good Reason)
Makeup artist Val Garland had good time backstage at Giamba's fall 2015 show today. Giamba—a line by Giambattista Valli—is geared toward the millennial set, and the request from the designer in terms of beauty was simple: "young, young, young." Garland answered the request by scattering delicate designs in black, red, and silver on the models' faces and hands. "Giambattista said that he wanted the girls to feel young and rebellious, and I immediately thought about Cara Delevingne," whose multiple tattoos and carefree attitude inspired the look.

How to Do Marilyn Monroe Beauty the 2015 Way
I have to think that Marilyn Monroe's beauty has inspired the majority of women in this world in some way, shape, or form. Whether it's her red lips, winged liner, platinum bob, or perfectly placed beauty mark—or even going to bed wearing Chanel No. 5. At Max Mara's fall 2015 show, Monroe's beauty and style once again served as inspiration, but instead of copying her look exactly, hairstylist Sam McKnight and makeup artist Tom Pecheux found a thoroughly modern way to evoke the icon's signature look.

Yes, the Downton Abbey Fragrance Collection Smells Like Sex and Murder
Though my Downton Abbey obsession hasn't quite reached the collectibles level (you can get a Lady Cora teddy bear for only $74.99!), I couldn't help but be excited by the release of a fragrance set based on the show's female characters. What exactly does Lady Edith smell like? And how many top notes does it take to create the scent of regret and murder? I surveyed the biggest Downton Abbey fans in the office for their first sniff impressions on the collection.

Everything You Want to Know About Empire's Amazing Costumes
There are lots of reasons to love Fox's new series Empire. There's Terrence Howard's quavering intensity (got a taste for it at the Oscars, did you?) and Jussie Smollet's prodigious talent. There's "Drip Drop" (and the video for "Drip Drop"), Naomi Campbell asking for the definition of bae, the blow-job bib. The show might even be saving network television. I could go on. But ultimately, there's Cookie Lyons. Taraji P. Henson can work a well-phrased put-down and a leopard-print pencil skirt in equal measure. I recently sat down with Empire's costume designer, Rita McGhee, to talk about her favorite looks and her vision for the show.

Yeah, what's up with CSPAN?
Submitted by American Christian on Sun, 08/26/2012 - 11:52. Permalink
I found the same type of confusion there yesterday. There were "ads" about the RNC and every other thing besides the MAIN event which is Ron Paul's speech at the Sun Dome today "the speech the RNC doesn't want the rest of America to hear." as Agent86 aptly reminded us.
btw, PLEASE put THAT title on ALL VIDEOS of Ron Paul's Sun Dome speech today -"the speech the RNC doesn't want the rest of America to hear."
Is it just hearsay that CSPAN is to air Ron Paul's speech at 3pm or what?

Goat's cheese and spinach cheesecake
Follow The JC on Twitter
This unusual savoury cheesecake makes a perfect brunch dish but is also a lovely vegetarian option. It can be served hot or at room temperature.

110g butter, melted
2 tbsp milk
For the filling:

100g sundried tomatoes
8-10 baby cherry tomatoes
30g fresh basil
200g fresh spinach, washed
Salt and pepper
Process or crush the biscuits finely.
Melt the butter and mix the two together to make a soft ball mixture, adding a bit of cold milk if you need to hold it together.
Press the crumb mixture into a 20-22cm round deep pie dish.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
To prepare the filling: beat the cheese with electric beaters or food mixer until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Chop the goat's cheese and tomatoes into small pieces. Chop the basil leaves roughly.
Blanch the spinach in boiling water for two minutes, drain, roughly chop and press on a sieve or colander to squeeze out any excess water.

The place was excellent The multilingual owners were very friendly and easy going. we had a lovely time. The location is on the outskirt of Dinan and very much on the quite side which was perfect for us. Walking to town might be a bit of a hassle so its better to have a vehicle which we did and which is why we were ok with it being on the outskirts. Dinan is beautiful and definitely well worth visiting and staying at Le Moulin de la Fontaine des Eux is highly recommended.

This B&B was excellent. It was extremely clean, and the owners were very very friendly. The fact that they spoke both English and French is a plus for anyone who is not bilingual. The room was spotless, the breakfast was traditionally French (and included). The only issue I had was that they do not take credit cards, I find it hard to believe in these days of technology that there was no option to pay by card. Either way, I would fully recommend it!

We had been tempted to stay in the town of Dinan, we are so glad we stayed at Le Moulin instead. The peace and quiet was just what we needed. Within walking distance of the harbour and restaurants it was a lovely excuse to walk off the evening meal back to Le Moulin. The hosts were extremely welcoming, everything in our room was spotless and breakfast was superb. All very hospitable and relaxing. We will be recommending to our friends. Many thanks, regards Deborah & Stephen - Wiltshire.

Hi Friends! Hope you all have been enjoying the change of seasons, wherever you are located in the world! For me, this has been quite a (wonderfully) crazy Fall. I've been to Vegas, Los Angeles, Florida, Washington DC, New Jersey, Connecticut, Texas and have had a full calendar of events while at home in New York City just trying to spread the good word of Brenne! (If you're on Instagram, I regularly post photos of my travels & whisky shows on my Brenne and my personal IG feeds like this photo below). :)
It's been a great experience getting out there and meeting so many more whisky fans. If you're someone who has attended one of the many shows I've been at recently and came over to try Brenne, THANK YOU! For everyone who has continued to support me here and on various means of social media (and, well, by ordering Brenne at your local watering holes & liquor stores!), an even bigger THANK YOU. You all keep this particular solopreneur going!
In the mean time, I'm excited to announce that I've started a YouTube channel! My goal is to post a new video every other Wednesday (fingers crossed I can maintain that!). It's been a really fun way to engage with people beyond the written word and photos on Instagram… and the "un-edited Me" is, well …something else!
CouchTalk: A series I'm developing where I invite some of my "whisky family" into my home for whisky (duh) and a chat on my couch about anything from a new book they're launching to a review of a whisky event (like this one below!)!
How To…Cocktails: I'm asked regularly if I'm "okay" with people using Brenne in a cocktail and my answer is always YES! So I'll be doing some "How To" videos of my favorite whisky cocktails using Brenne like these!
Vlog: I'm hoping to roll off some videos where I'm perhaps answering people's questions or chatting about whisky news or other things going on that I think are of some value to share. I imagine these will be in a similar casual format to my "Welcome To My YouTube Channel" video like this!
So, if you're a fan of YouTube, I really hope to see you over there! Please subscribe & like the videos (if you like them, of course) :) I'm hoping this channel will evolve over time and that it gives us another avenue upon which to engage and continue the whisky conversation! But no worries if you're not a YouTuber, I am still planning on maintaining my presence here too. :) Big whisky cheers & hugs to you all. Thanks for spending your time with me!
CHEERS! ~Allison
Welcoming Fall
September 15, 2014 § Leave a comment
I woke up at 4:30am with the concept for this post swirling around in my head. I took some notes and tried to go back to sleep for another hour or two but my body's olfactory system reminded me of the smell of a specific nespresso flavor that I've been loving recently and wouldn't let me go back to sleep.
So, it is with the early morning sounds of the NYC garbage trucks rolling below my windows, a very dark sky and the distinct smell of the early morning mixed with my freshly made coffee that I sit and write.
To begin, I hope that you all had incredible summers. It's such a distinctive season; a clear marker of time and one that makes you inspired to take note of your day-to-day and infuse it with more outdoor activities, social gatherings and hopefully, a vacation or two. This particular summer was a bit of an interesting one for me. I've written before about how challenging this journey of launching my own whisky company is (and yes, I'm still a 1 person company! #drinkbrenne) and how strange, lonely, frightening & exhilarating it is to journey from one mountain peak to another. Since my last post (~6 weeks ago), in keeping with that analogy, I haven't felt like my usual "mountain climber" self but instead like an intense, bullish, excavator; burrowing in straight lines underneath the trails instead of wasting steps going up, over, and back down again.
When asked this past weekend how my summer was I reflected for a moment, smiled and simply said, "focused!"
With my husband traveling every week for work, my week nights were not our typical "married couple routine" of ending work at some late evening hour, eating dinner in front of the TV, cleaning up/prepping for the next day and/or trip, chores, bed. Instead, I just kept working – often late into the early morning hours (like the time I woke up today!). I felt like a human machine working through my micro and macro tasks with efficiency and excitement. I checked off my To Do lists with gusto and even started running again on a more regular basis (which only fueled the focus even more!).
The great thing is as Fall kicks off, I feel ready. I'm looking forward to a strong close of 2014 and think 2015 is going to be exceptional. Lots of exciting things happening for Brenne so I hope you all stay tuned. It's funny, as I hit the pavement running literally (I often post photos and what thoughts I meditated on my run on my personal Instagram feed HERE if you're interested), I regularly reflected how happy I am that whisky takes so long to make. For someone who throws a lot of balls in the air and constantly moves things forward to get these opportunities to drop, I really appreciate that at least one aspect of this business is quiet, calm and something that really truly cannot be rushed.
Enjoy your beauty sleep, Brenne. I'll be ready for you when you're done!
…and with that, it's time to lace up my sneakers & fly! Happy Kick-off to Fall, everyone! I've got a sunrise to run towards :) ~ xo ~ Allison
#BrenneVoyage … get ready
June 27, 2014 § 7 Comments
I'm super excited to share something totally fun & a little silly with you we're calling #BrenneVoyage! Every day during the month of July, I'm going to post a photo of Brenne "out and about" and will tag the photo using the hashtag BrenneVoyage on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
As many of you may know, as the founder of Brenne Whisky (pronunciation reminder: "Brenne" rhymes with "zen"), I'm almost always in possession of a bottle of Brenne. It goes with me everywhere and in a lighthearted way, I've found myself occasionally referring to these bottles as having personalities and being far from the inanimate objects that they are (after all, I certainly care for them as if they were my children!).
So on a recent trip to Paris, my mother and I had a blast taking Brenne on a sight-seeing trip around town, photographing it's journey along the way. When we got back and realized just how many of these photos we had, I thought it was only right to share them in a mini-series that you can follow along on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook by searching for the "#BrenneVoyage" hashtag. It was a hilarious way to enjoy a city that I love so much, the theme of which has now taken on a life of it's own.
I certainly encourage you to grab a bottle of Brenne, your camera and your sense of humor and join me in this month long photographic journey shooting Brenne around town, on your vacation and hanging out with you this summer – just make sure you use the hashtag #BrenneVoyage so we can all see them! (And please respect your local liquor and open-container laws!).
Here's a taste of the "behind the scenes" …
And below is a teaser of what's to come …
Hope to see you around the interwebz … I'll be the one with a bottle of Brenne in her hand galavanting around some of my favorite cities :)
Father's Day: Whiskey Gift Guide
June 4, 2014 § 2 Comments
Hello! It's that time of year again! Father's Day is around the corner and I'm sharing some of my top picks for your whisky-loving Dad! This year I've decided to showcase a highbrow and lowbrow option for the each item – hope you enjoy!
Feel free to share some of your favorite whisky gifts in the comments below (no sales pitches, please).
To me, sipping on a nice single malt is all about the appreciation of time.

Amrita Rao (pronounced [əmriːt̪a ːraːʋ]; born 17 June 1981)[1] is an Indian film actress and model. She has appeared in Hindi films of Bollywood as well as a few films in Telugu. Born and raised in Mumbai, Rao made her screen debut in Ab Ke Baras (2002). She rose to prominence as the lead actress in Ishq Vishk (2003) and was nominated for the Filmfare Best Female Debut Award for her role. One of her most critically acclaimed roles was in the blockbuster romance Vivah (2006).
Roles in Welcome to Sajjanpur (2008) and Main Hoon Na (2004) earned Amrita a Stardust Best Actress Award and Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award nomination. Her subsequent films included Masti (2004), Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi!, (2005) Jolly LLB (2013), Singh Sahab the Great (2013) and Satyagraha (2013). Amrita made special appearances in films like Heyy Babyy (2007), Shaurya (2008), Life Partner (2009) and Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai (2010). She has been cited as Bollywood's quintessential "Girl Next Door" by various media outlets, a title for which she has received substantial publicity.[2] Amrita has been named one of Times Of India's "50 Most Desirable Women of 2011."[3]
Amrita Rao was born in Mumbai. Her father, Deepak Rao owns an advertising agency.[4] Amrita's ancestors were Saraswat Brahmin (a Konkani family originally from Karnataka).[4] Her younger sister is Preetika Rao, a model and a Southern film actress. Rao was raised in Mumbai and attended school at Canossa Convent Girls School. She graduated from Sophia College with a psychology degree.[5] Rao described her family as being a "very conservative family – a traditional, Hindu, Indian family" and herself as very liberal.[6] Her mother tongue was Konkani. Apart from Konkani she is also well versed in Marathi, English and Hindi.[4]
Rao and advertisements Before starting her career as an actor, Rao began her career as a model did several commercials during her college days. Her first public appearance came at the age of seventeen, in 2002, when she was featured in the music video for Alisha Chinoy's Woh Pyar Mera.[7] In 2002, after graduating with a degree in Psychology from the University of Mumbai, Rao played her first leading role as Anjali Thapar, an Indian girl born and brought up in London, in Raj Kanwar's moderately successful fantasy thriller Ab Ke Baras.[8] Appearing opposite Arya Babbar, the film was averagely received by audiences. Rao's performance was consider to be a decent debut.[9] Film critic Planet Bollywood wrote, "Amrita Rao comes out the real winner, with her dancing skills, innocent looks and decent acting skills."[10]
In May 2003, Rao starred with Shahid Kapoor in the coming-of-age romance film Ishq Vishk, in an innocent college girl role as Payal Mehra. The film tells the story of two people who are friends since childhood, but only gradually discover their feelings for each other. The film was received favorably by most critics and became one of the highest grossing films of the year, as well as Rao's biggest commercial success. Rao's portrayal earned her several awards, including Filmfare Best Female Debut Award and IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year.[11] Critic Taran Adarsh from IndiaFM wrote, "Amrita Rao is a revelation. If she was quite okay in her first film, she is incredible in her second film. Here's an actress to watch. Her emotional sequences are so powerful that they are bound to melt even the stone-hearted."[12] India Today noted, "The leads are surprisingly assured. But the real find is Amrita Rao. She is quietly attractive, and most important, she really shines in the calm before the storm."[13] In 2004, Rao starred in Indra Kumar adult comedy Masti, opposite Vivek Oberoi. Amongst the low number of Bollywood adult comedy movies at the time of its release, the film received positive response from critics, and also become a financial successful at the box office.[14] Her performance as Anchal, who is obsessively possessive about her husband, has been received positively.[15]
Rao next had a supporting role in the Farah Khan action comedy, and the first film of Shah Rukh Khan's production company Red Chillies Entertainment, Main Hoon Na, where she co-starred alongside Shah Rukh Khan, Sunil Shetty, Sushmita Sen and Zayed Khan. Her role as the army officer's daughter Sanjana (Sanju) Bakshi, earned Rao Best Supporting Actress, her second filmfare nomination. Rao had a minor role in Milan Luthria's Deewar, a film about 50 Indian soldiers captured by Pakistani soldiers in 1971, during the war between India and Pakistan. Amrita played the small role of Radhika, Gaurang Kaul's love interest. The film was received poorly by both audiences and critics, and was declared a flop.
Rao co-starred alongside Shahid Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt in the 2005 drama Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi!, which tells the story of a man and The Hindu God of Death, Yamraj. Critical response towards the film was negative, although Rao garnered acclaim for her performance of a school teacher. Glamsham believed that the only thing that made the film watchable was the acting of Amrita Rao.[16] That same year, Rao took on the lead role in the John Matthew Matthan drama Shikhar, a film about how some businessmen can cross any line and go to any length to get what they desire. She portrayed Madhvi, Jai's love interest. The film was very well received by critics and did average at the box office. She then appeared in the 2006 low-budget comedy Pyare Mohan opposite Vivek Oberoi. The film was inspired by the Hollywood movie See No Evil, Hear No Evil. The movie was not well received by critics; Rajeev Masand wrote, "Amrita hit career lows, producing the low-fashion chemistry."[17]
Although highly regarded for her acting abilities, Rao's films to date had often not appealed to a wide audience, but Sooraj R. Barjatya's romantic drama Vivah (2006) made her a national star. The film depicted the journey of two individuals from engagement to marriage. Co-starring alongside Shahid Kapoor, Rao portrayed Poonam, a traditionally brought up young woman. The film was given mixed reviews by most critics but became one of the highest grossing films of the year, as well as Rao's biggest commercial success to date. The film went on to gross a respectable 539.0 million (US$8.5 million) worldwide. Taran Adarsh wrote, "Amrita Rao gets a new lease of life with Vivah. She looks the character and is splendid all through."[18] At the 13th Star Screen Award, Rao received Best Actress nomination.[19]
Rao was cast alongside Mahesh Babu in the 2007 Telugu action film Athidhi. The film was directed and co-written by Surender Reddy. She played the girlfriend of Mahesh's character. Athidhi achieved success at the box office, grossing over 35 crore (US$5.5 million) in 4 weeks, despite having had a limited theatrical release. She received mostly positive reviews, with critics praising the chemistry between Rao and Mahesh Babu. Rediff noted, "Amrita Rao, who makes her debut in Telugu films, makes a mark."[20] Other critics, such as Sify wrote that, " Amrita Rao is not only beautiful but also glamorous. She has proved that she could be yet another native girl for Tollywood. She emoted well with convincing histrionics fit for Telugu screen."[21]
In 2008, she appeared in the drama film My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves opposite newcomer Nikhil Dwivedi. She played Riya, an orphan who lives a middle-class lifestyle in Mumbai and works as an assistant director for a movie producer. The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews and performed poorly at the box office.[22] Amrita's performance was praised by some critics; OneIndia Entertainment noted, "Amrita Rao looks gorgeous, but her role isn't substantial enough."[23] She took a small role of the Nirja Rathore in Shaurya in 2008, a film which revolves around the court-martial of a Muslim officer in the Indian army, for shooting his commanding officer. The film is set against the backdrop of the Kashmir Conflict in Northern India. Mainly inspired from the Hollywood movie A Few Good Men, Shaurya received positive reviews from the critics, but failed to perform well at the box office.[24]
In 2008, Rao appeared in her third blockbuster, Shyam Benegal's comedy film Welcome to Sajjanpur. She played the role of Kamala, a woman who is desperate for communication from her husband Bansiram (Kunal Kapoor), a labourer at a dockyard in Mumbai. The film tells the story of several villagers, including a child widow, an abandoned wife, a harried mother, a corrupt neta, a romantic compounder and their serious and mischievous problems. The film received positive reviews and earned 20 million (US$310,000), making it the second-highest grossing film in Amrita's career. Hindustan Times noted, "Amrita Rao is sweetness personified."[25] She received a Stardust Best Actress Award for her performance.
Rao starred with Harman Baweja in Victory, an Indian cricket-based sports film which focuses on a struggling cricketer who defies all odds to realize an almost impossible dream. The film received generally mixed reviews from critics, and Amrita garnered acclaim for her performance as a Herman's childhood friend Nandini. The film faced competition from other films such Raaz 2 and Dev D and failed to do well. With a huge budget, it only managed to gross 1 crore (US$160,000) and was declared a disaster by Boxoffice-India.[26] That same year, Amrita took on the lead role in Neeraj Vora's comedy drama Short Kut: The Con is On opposite Akshaye Khanna, produced by Anil Kapoor. The film stars Rao as Mansi, girlfriend of Akshaye's character. Critical response towards the comedy film was negative and, though having grossed its budget back, it was considered a financial disappointment.[27]
Rao's only film of 2011 was Love U...Mr. Kalakaar! and her second movie under Rajshri Productions.[28] She was generally praised for her physical performance, but the movie generated mostly negative reviews and became a commercial failure. Nikhat Kazmi of the Times of India wrote, "Amrita Rao at best, but the film is so predictable and so long, it loses impact."[29] Rao has also made special appearances in Heyy Babyy (2007), Life Partner (2007) and Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai (2010).
After a two and a half year absence from the screen, Rao starred in the national award winning courtroom comedy drama film Jolly LLB (2013). She played the lead role as Sandhya, girlfriend of Arshad Warsi's character. The film showed the life of a lawyer and his journey against the monopolistic behavior of the rich and judicial corruption, but the storyline is inspired by the 1999 hit-and-run case of Sanjeev Nanda. Although the film received mixed reviews, it won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi, and the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor.[30] Rao's performance was singled out for praise.[31][32][33]
Rao co-starred alongside Sunny Deol in the action movie Singh Sahab the Great (2013), directed by Anil Sharma. The film chronicles a common man who takes pride in his honesty. Rao portrayed the journalist role as Shikha Chaturvedi, in the film which runs closely with that of Deol's throughout the film.[34] The movie faced several controversies and ran into trouble with the SGPC, which has objected to the title of the film.[35] While the film was largely panned by critics, Rao earned positive reviews for her performance. Namrta Joshi of Outlook felt that, "Amrita Rao plays a role that definitely feels like something she has already done, all the emotional support."[36] The film received predominately negative reviews but was a moderate box-office success with revenues of 29 crore (US$4.6 million).[37]
Later that year, she appeared in Prakash Jha's political drama Satyagraha, as part of an ensemble cast that included Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and Manoj Bajpai. Rao played the role of Sumitra, the daughter-in-law of Amitabh Bachchan's character. Rao was praised in particular. Resham Sengar of Zee News wrote, "Ms. Rao has the sweetly cherubic looks. She is convincing in most of the emotional scenes. But again, her scope of performance is just limited to mouthing a few important dialogues."[38] The movie was not well received by critics and failed to make a profit at the box office. Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV noted, "Satyagraha spares no effort to reflect the rising tide of public anger against a creaking, corrupt and callous system that treats citizens of the country like a load of dirt. The script draws inspiration from several real-life scams and political shenanigans, and constructs a predictable narrative that underlines the undeniable might of social media."[39] Despite having moderate reviews, the film grossed over 60 crore (US$9.4 million) at the domestic box office.[40]

Do you agree with this?
How close to a corner is "too close"?

I wouldn't worry about what those sites say. The only way to know where a subwoofer should go is to try it. Do the subwoofer crawl to find the best location OR buy a USB calibrated mic and download REW for free and take in room frequency response measurements. Some times corner loaded is best some times 1/3 the wall's distance from the corner is best, sometimes the best spot could be on a side wall or rear wall or rear corner. I have dual subs (which I will never go back to a single sub again) my subs in my room sound best with 1 sub up front on the front wall between the front left speaker and the TV/center speaker and 1 sub behind the corner of my L shaped sectional couch so that sub is on the right side wall about 2/3 the way back.
Also you MLP (main listening position) is just as important as sub location. If you are sitting in a null then you need to move your seating. You should never sit at the half way point front to back in your room you should sit in either 1/5 or 1/3 increments so that also means you shouldn't be sitting up against a rear wall or you will be sitting in a bass mode/peak.
What's the main benefit of using 2 subs? My room is only 13' X 17'.

The image is one of the LOTV b&w art pads (which they sadly aren't making any more). I decided to colour the image with Spectrum Noir pencils, with just a little promarker pen for the shadowing around the outer edge of the image. It was nice to work with pencils for a change and I quite liked the effect!
The sentiment is also from LOTV, the backing papers from First Edition and some sheer ribbon from Joanna Sheen. Quite a simple card - but definitely one with a Spring-like feel!
And I'm looking forward to the week ahead - especially as tomorrow my girlie is coming home for a week! She's been keeping busy (apart from her studying) doing some cooking, experimenting with different recipes - and I've been teaching her to crochet too! So she decided that she would start a little blog of her own as a sort of online diary of her efforts! If you get a chance to have a look that would be great - I'm sure you can all remember what it was like starting out with a blog! The link is HERE. So we'll carry on with the crafting and cooking lessons while she's home for a week - in between enjoying some family time! I know my husband is looking forward to having her home and her little brother definitely is - even if it's just for someone else to torment apart from me lol!
Back soon,
Kim x

Minnesota beat Boston and Florida on Feb. 19 and 23. The time before that was Jan. 21 and 24. I smell a trend.
Mikko Koivu will return from a shoulder injury tonight and return to his normal spot between Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi. Heatley's been cold with one goal in the past 16 games and no points in the past eight. Coach Mike Yeo says reuniting Heatley with Koivu should give Heatley an "automatic jump and lift."
It also will lower Kyle Brodziak's workload, which could help. "He's played high minutes and he plays a hard game," Yeo said. Brodziak will go back to a line he has centered before with Darroll Powe and Nick Johnson.
Erik Christensen will move from center to wing and play with Matt Cullen and Cal Clutterbuck. Christensen has scored in three of the past four games (four goals). I asked Yeo if he's hesitant to change the soaring Christensen's position.
"He's been scoring goals in the offensive zone, so I don't think that's going to affect him a whole lot," Yeo said. "From outside of our blue line, roles and responsibilities don't change too much. It's always F1 on the forecheck, F2 and F3. It's not center, left wing or right wing. And same thing in the offensive zone. Where it's a little more strict is in the defensive zone. So I don't think it's going to inhibit him in any way."
Matt Kassian will miss tonight's game with a groin injury, but he hasn't been ruled out for the upcoming two-game trip to Buffalo and Washington.
Tonight will be equipment manager's 1,500th NHL game. If you know DaCosta, he's a popular fixture and important piece of the Wild locker room. When you're around a hockey team everyday like I am, you catch on very quickly that equipment and medical trainers are essentially teammates to the players. And DaCosta and medical trainer Don Fuller are the only two in the Wild locker room that has been around since Day One.
Players were razzing DaCosta all morning and were wearing 1,500-game T-shirts. I'll have more on that in tomorrow's paper.
Talk to you after the game.

a neat and simple scrim and screen to partition off and create "rooms" within a larger space and to create some privacy. excellent for loft-living. I also like this for photographers, as I am one, to use as a clear background... it's cheaper than buying rolls of white paper and serves the same purpose of providing a nice clean backdrop for your photos.... comes in different colors also. Simple, chic, and i find wholly necessary....
its so awesome!

Opus Dei To Hunt Down Vatican Whistle-Blowers 286
from the dan-brown-hangs-his-head-dejectedly dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Don't forget Alexander Maxwell from Hellsing and Rosette Christopher from Chrno Crusade!
Unfortunately, you got bad information. Let's get you started on the basics first: Start here [wikipedia.org].
It ain't the "Spanish Inquisition" as you and GP were talking about. That particular group is detailed here [wikipedia.org], and ran independently of the Vatican (it was a pet project of the Spanish crown). Surprisingly, as an institution the Spanish Inquisition lasted into the 19th Century.
First point: the Vatican has its own law (canon law) which everyone is supposed to follow, despite the monarchical form of government everyone is supposed to follow. So it is possible for somebody to be a whistlblower, although that itself is a crime under canon law. That's why the clergy sex abuse scandal went on so long. Canon law precludes doing anything that would bring disrepute upon the church, which is why pedophiles weren't turned over to the police.
Second point: one of the people they are looking for is a person who suggested that the Vatican has more information about the 1983 disappearance of two fifteen year-old girls who held dual Italian-Vatican citizenship. That makes this an international incident. Their disappearance happened during a dispute between Italian organized crime and the Vatican bank. The mob had been laundering money through Banco Ambrosiano, an Italian bank in which the Vatican bank had controlling interest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Calvi#The_Banco_Ambrosiano_scandal). The implication is that the girls were kidnapped to put pressure on the Vatican to make good the Mafia's losses.
That sounds a bit Dan Browne, but after he was killed in a mob hit, an Italian gangster named Enrico de Pedis was granted burial in a Vatican basilica, an honor normally reserved for cardinals. The speculation is that this was a pay off for brokering a settlement between the Vatican bank and the mob.
The point is that it's not like the Vatican can operate in a vacuum. There are Italian interests involved here: Italian citizens, companies, and mobsters. The Banco Ambrosiano affair also involves the forgery of US securities.
The "legality" of a government is usually tied to some kind of justification as to how it is entitled to act as a government. There are various forms of justifications. Some a bit more outdated than the others, but none are less or more valid from a purely objective point of view. If you do not accept a non-democratic government, that's your prerogative, but it's not yours to tell anyone whether he should or should not respect the rule of someone.
The Vatican chose to be an elective monarchy (the only one left, btw). And as long as the marjority of those concerned (read: the majority of roman catholics) accepts this legitimation, it's valid.
It's a bit like money. It only has some value as long as people believe in its value.
Personally, I would not accept that kind of government as mine either. But it's not on me to tell the Vatican that it cannot be an elective monarchy.
The moon is a planet just like the Earth, only it is even deader.

Loved the artistic design of WangYueLou, the worship chamber, and the garden. The courtyard was very neat and the drawing on the building complex was one of the kind.
At first glance, it didn't look like a typical Mosque. The building had an interesting mix of Buddist and Islamic elements. Definitely one of the sights not to miss in Hohot. I remember that a wedding was held on the day I visited!
Hohhot has many Mosque's. This is one of my favourite. The architecture and colours is really amazing. It's not very big, but its free which is always nice.
It was fascinating to see the blend of Islam with Buddhist iconography.
It is also within walking distant from Holiday Inn Hotel - I took the back alley of the hotel, passing through a lively local market filled with rows of chestnut vendors, sultana vendors, fruit vendors, beef & lamb shop with "halal" sign - means they're slaughtered in a moslem way, delicacy shops and within 10 minutes I was already in...

The differences between Lenin and the Mensheviks became sharper in the Revolution of 1905 and its aftermath, when Lenin moved to a distinctly original view on two issues: class alignments in the revolution and the character of the post-revolutionary regime. The outbreak of the revolution, in January 1905, found Lenin abroad in Switzerland, and he did not return to Russia until November. Immediately Lenin set down a novel strategy. Both wings of the RSDWP, Bolshevik and Menshevik, adhered to Plekhanov's view of the revolution in two stages: first, a bourgeois ...

Supreme Court
Village People
April 11, 1994
Can the state of New York, by drawing political boundaries along religious lines, establish a municipal theocracy governed entirely by Satmar Hasidim? This is the constitutional question the Supreme Court is likely to avoid when it takes up the Kiryas Joel case on March 30. Instead, the justices will answer a related but less basic question: Can New York grant the Satmar village all the powers of a religiously segregated public school district and authorize it to educate handicapped Hasidic children at state expense? The missed opportunity is unfortunate.
April 04, 1994
Unless a Supreme Court nomination falls from the sky, federal judges are rarely evaluated by cool-eyed critics. And so my heart leapt the other day when Federal Express brought a 126-page report from the Chicago Council of Lawyers reviewing the performances of the fifteen judges on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. But the lawyers have an ax to grind. Their oddest conclusion is that Richard Posner and Frank Easterbrook, two of the most celebrated judges in the country, are in fact two of the least professional judges on the court.
Boys and Girls
February 14, 1994
Last week, with William Rehnquist's provisional consent, Shannon Faulkner became the first woman in 150 years to attend classes at The Citadel, a public military college in South Carolina. "This is just another case in a long series of cases over the last twenty years or so which have expanded opportunities for women and said they're entitled to an equal opportunity," Helen Neuborne of the now Legal Defense Fund told cnn.
The Limits of Limits
February 07, 1994
Democracy and the Problem of Free Speech by Cass R. Sunstein (The Free Press, 300 pp., $22.95) For nearly a decade Cass Sunstein has presented himself as the benign face of free speech revisionism. In his academic writings, he has supported some restrictions on pornography and hate speech, and at the same time has avoided the rhetorical excesses of Catharine A. MacKinnon and the critical race theorists. He has endorsed some restrictions on the autonomy of broadcasters and newspaper owners, while questioning what he calls the more heavy-handed " command and control" solutions of the 1960s.
Reasonable Women
November 01, 1993
The lingering questions of the Thomas and Ginsburg hearings anxiously converged in a sexual harassment case before the Court this week. Can sexual banter in the workplace be punished if it offends women without affecting their job performance? And are men's and women's perspectives about sex so vastly different that women need special protection from the vulgarity of men?
October 25, 1993
On the first day of the new term, the Supreme Court revisited the question that undid Lani Guinier: How much racial gerrymandering does the Constitution permit, and the Voting Rights Act require? In her opaque majority opinion in Shaw v. Reno last June, Sandra Day O'Connor flirted with, and then retreated from, the argument that the Constitution always forbids states from carving out black and Hispanic electoral districts, even as a remedy for past discrimination.
Bad Noose
October 04, 1993
The trial of Cornelius Singleton, who was executed in Alabama last November for killing a nun in a cemetery by smothering her with rocks, was hardly a model of due process. After begging to be taken off the case, the court-appointed lawyer refused to meet with his client, failed to object when the prosecutor struck all blacks from the jury pool and neglected to tell the jury that Singleton was mentally retarded. He then forged Singleton's name on a petition for habeas corpus; he was later disbarred.
The Book Of Ruth
August 02, 1993
A few days alter the president nominated her to the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg received a fax from a member of the Rotary Club in Bernardsville, New Jersey.
Culture Camp
July 13, 1993
"It is going to be impossible to defeat you in the Senate, because you have a way with words," Orrin Hatch told Sheldon Hackney during his confirmation hearings to head the National Endowment for the Humanities. Hatch was putting it mildly. Hackney's sins are not limited to his sophisms about the conflict between "openness and diversity" at the University of Pennsylvania. He should also be held accountable for defending speech codes a full year after the Supreme Court made clear that they are unconstitutional.

Reinsurance Sector Set for Mergers
Article updated with further commentary from AM Best.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The $3.2 billion merger of Transatlantic Holdings (TRH) and Allied World Assurance (AWH - Get Report) might reignite deals in the reinsurance sector as companies seek to enhance balance sheets and diversify the earnings base, according to industry analysts.
On Sunday Transatlantic Holdings, a specialty reinsurer once majority owned by AIG (AIG - Get Report), announced its merger with Swiss-based Allied World Assurance in an all-stock deal. The merger would create an entity that will have total assets of $21 billion and a total capital of $8.5 billion.
The combination could leave reinsurers with a smaller capital base -- $3 billion or less -- hungry for scale, some analysts say.
"The reinsurance business has become more differentiated on size because of this most recent deal," said Kevin Lee, analyst at Moody's (MCO), commenting on the Transatlantic deal. "On one hand, you have a group of companies with more than $5 billion in capital, some others with $2.5 billion to $5 billion in capital and then you have a group of companies below $2.5 billion. For companies in the lower end of the range, and given the extent of losses from first quarter, there is possibly more interest in M&A." Companies with a total capital of less than $3 billion include Endurance Specialty (ENH - Get Report), Enstar group (ESGR - Get Report), Platinum Underwriters (PTP - Get Report) and Montpelier (MRH - Get Report), according to data available on Bloomberg. "Over the past decade, there has been a drive for size," says Laline Carvalho, director and reinsurance analyst at Standard and Poor's. "There have been a lot of management teams that have pushed to become bigger." Tracy Dolin, also an analyst at S&P points out that size might be more relevant for property catastrophe reinsurers where they can get better pricing terms for their size. But other factors besides size also may drive more consolidation. According to Carvalho, reinsurers are also looking to diversify their earnings stream. "It has been a significant year of catastrophes for reinsurance companies," she says, noting the disasters in New Zealand, Australia and the U.S. "There is a desire for some management teams to become more relevant to their brokers, reduce exposure to catastrophic events and if they are more diversified they can choose to play those opportunities where they see the best returns for their capital."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Rumor: Amazon's French and German sites suggest new Apple TV coming Oct. 23
Amazon's online storefronts in France and Germany on Thursday showed sudden unavailability of the current generation Apple TV, instead noting the device will be "available from Oct. 23," hinting that a revamped version of the set-top streamer may soon be released.While not hard evidence of an Apple TV revamp, Amazon's notice of availability (via iFun.de) is in line with recent rumors that claim a next-generation version of the device will be unveiled in the near future.
Instead of being marked as "no longer available" or "pre-order," as other out of stock or upcoming products sold directly by Amazon, the company's French and German sites show current third-generation Apple TV will be available from Oct. 23. Amazon's other European website, which serves the UK and Ireland, as well as its Japan and U.S. stores, still have units in stock. The Online Apple Store also has full availability in Europe, though it is unlikely that Apple would tip its hand ahead of a new product launch.
It should be noted, however, that Amazon is not "leaking" a new model Apple TV. The company's French website, for example, advertises the product with the model number "MD199FD/A," which is correct for the current European version of the device. While mere speculation, the Oct. 23 date could mean the online sales giant simply sold through existing stock and is awaiting a new shipment. Alternatively, the company could be putting a hold on Apple TV sales ahead of a special Apple event planned for Oct. 22.
Earlier this week, Apple sent out invitations to a media event scheduled to take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, where the company is widely expected to reveal a fifth-generation iPad and second-generation iPad mini.
Also anticipated is a release of the latest Mac operating system, OS X 10.9 Mavericks, the final version of which was recently seeded to developers. Some speculate that Apple will take the opportunity to finally debut its newly redesigned Mac Pro, to be followed by a Nov. 15 ship-by date.
