Greece Strike, Google Editions: Hot Trends
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- A new volcanic ash cloud suspended air traffic in Ireland and Scotland and could threaten air space in England, sending Internet users again -- as they did last week, and the week before -- searching with the phrase "ash cloud."
Continental Airlines (CAL) and Ryanair Holdings (RYAAY - Get Report) were among the carriers that canceled flights on Wednesday.
The new eruption comes two weeks after the ash from the Iceland volcano paralyzed air traffic across Europe, causing significant losses for airline carriers.
Google (GOOG) announced on Tuesday that it will begin selling electronic books through Google Edition. The site would allow publishers to sell digital copies of in-print books straight to consumers. Why Social Software Pilot Projects Fail (Forbes) This move pits Google against Amazon (AMZN - Get Report) in the e-book market. Amazon has been receiving criticism from publishers when it comes to its pricing strategy.
A strike in Greece turned violent this morning, as protests turn into riots, with protesters attempting to storm parliament. The protesters are angered over spending cuts being made by the government in an effort to stave off bankruptcy. On Tuesday, global markets were in a tizzy, with major U.S. indices posting their biggest losses in months. The major worry is that a $144 billion aid package won't be enough to mitigate Greece's growing debt crisis and that it will spread to other European nations.
Prudential Financial (PRU - Get Report) is a popular search after the company said it delayed a planned $21 billion share issue that would be used to fund the acquisition of Asia-based AIA Group.
The chatter on Main Street (a.k.a. Google) is always of interest to investors on Wall Street. Thus, each day, TheStreet compiles the stories that are trending on Google, and highlights the news that could make stocks move. -- Reported by Jeanine Poggi in New York.

Every market tells a story – of culture, craft and tradition and it is this story that gets sold in the form of souvenirs in the tiny lanes and stalls. There is so much of energy, life and colour in every market and each one of them is unique. Historic and intrinsic to a country's culture, Lakshmi Sharath visits five different markets from around the world
Taling Chan Floating Market, Bangkok
In a city which is flocked by shoppers, where bargains are a way of life, there is no dearth of markets. But my favourite is the Taling Chan Floating Market which offers a glimpse into the flavours of traditional Thailand and Thai cuisine. I take a ferry across the Chao Phraya river and float through the canals of Bangkok to reach the Floating Market. Sitting in long wooden boats, the locals here are cooking or grilling a meal or selling fresh produce or serving a speciality from sweets and rice to meat and snakes. Tourists and locals flock around in barges on the canals, singing . It is open only on weekends and can be accessed by road as well.
Grand Bazaar, Istanbul
Losing oneself in the labyrinthine network of lanes and shops in Istanbul's Grand Bazaar is extremely easy. With over 60 covered streets teeming with 3,000 shops, this is where James Bond stormed across in his bike in his recent block buster Skyfall. The 600 year old bazaar called Kapalicarsi in Turkish, meaning covered market, has been an important trading centre since the 15th century. Even today it oozes an old-fashioned charm. Feeling refreshed after a cup of hot apple tea, I walk around the little lanes where thousands of vendors sell everything from ceramics to carpets, glass to lamps and rugs to jewellery. Besides the Grand Bazaar, a visit to the Egyptian Spice Bazaar is also recommended.
Bloemenmarkt, Amsterdam
Say it with flowers in Amsterdam. Take a boat across the canals and ferry towards the only floating flower market in the world. The 19 century Bloemenmarkt is colourful and fragrant, with a large variety of flowers sold in the little shops floating on boats along the Singel located in the southern canals of Amsterdam. Besides florists, one finds seeds, herbs, decorations for gardens and even souvenirs.
Karaikudi's Antique Market
In Karaikudi (Tamil Nadu) is a tiny lane that lies behind the Muneeshwara temple. Walking along the lane, you will stumble upon an antique market which holds the treasures that have been handed down by the Chettinadu community. The large sprawling mansions were built with materials from every part of the world — be it Italian marbles, Japanese tiles or Belgian glass. The Chettiyars may have left Chettinadu but several antiques that once filled their homes are found in a handful of shops here. From lamps to vessels, glass to mirrors, paintings to artefacts, lampshades to carvings on teak, one finds an eclectic display of antiques. Old Tanjore paintings, porcelain dolls, silverware, kitchen utensils in Burmese lacquer, old teak furniture…you will find them all here.
Bazaars of Pushkar
If there is a state in India that is synonymous with colour, it is Rajasthan . From Jaipur to Jaisalmer, every market in Rajasthan is rich with vivid hues. The lively bazaar of Pushkar is a must visit. The market is throbbing with life. Kitschy and traditional, there is an eclectic array of goods on sale. Book stores, turbans, bangles, other jewellery, puppets…this bazaar has it all. For those with a sweet tooth, creamy rabdi malpua is made here every evening and distributed across the town. Rows of bottles selling rose pulp, syrup and gulkhand are sold here as well. Pushkar is truly an appetising experience.
Keywords: world markets, Taling Chan Floating Market, Grand Bazaar, Bazaars of Pushkar, Karaikudi's Antique Market, Bloemenmarkt

Long-term boyfriend ended it and I'm devastated! How to heal a broken heart
Question Posted Friday August 14 2009, 10:50 pm
The one person I have ever loved, who I lost my virginity to (huge mistake), bared my soul to, shared my future goals and dreams with, and who I planned my entire future with, doesn't want me anymore. He broke up with me today after 3 years of dating. I really thought we were going to get married and have a good future life together. This completely came out of the blue. Just yesterday we went out on a little dinner date and he bought me flowers. Today he told me that he's thought about things and just doesn't want me any more. I didn't see this coming. How can I cope? I feel like my entire world has been destroyed.
How can I get through this pain? He told me he doesn't need time to think about it or anything. He is very certain that this is the best decision. I can't stop thinking of what we had together and what we have gone through. I keep thinking about how STUPID I was for losing my virginity to him and trusting him with every ounce of myself. I am so lost. Please help me figure this all out!

From there:
I have found, firsthand, that the best way to get over a guy is to do the following:
Step 1: Have a really good cry.
- When my boyfriend and I broke up, I was super upset (like words cannot describe how bad I felt). But I told myself that I wasn't going to let it flip my entire world upside down. So I let myself have one really good cry, and then I told myself I'm going to start moving on. Which brings me to...
Step 2: Friends = lifesavers.
- Go to the mall and buy yourself something nice (don't over spend, though. Just something small, but nice. Like a new outfit or purse!) Or go see a movie, or out to dinner or something! Don't mope around your house all day doing nothing.
Step 3: Talk about it.
- It feels SO good to let it all out. Sit down with somebody you trust (for me, it was my mom) and just spill your heart out. Again, don't let it ruin your life or impact you too much.
Step 4: Move ON!
- Stop talking to him for a while (you need to give yourself time to get OVER him). Don't stalk his Facebook, spend time with other people, and don't even waste time TALKING about him.
Here are some more tips:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Honestly, it's going to take time, and it's going to be hard, but once you get over him you will feel SO much better. I promise you that this guy is NOT worth wasting all of your time on, and that there are plenty of other fish in the sea. Go out and find a new guy that treats you right and is WORTH your time. Forget about this guy ASAP. You're young and have plenty of time for guys. And, as one of my favorite books puts it: The first boy is always the hardest.
Best of luck! :)

Ok first of all he did you a favor. Get up and go look in the mirror and tell yourself I will not cry over this asshole(even if hes not one) he doesnt deserve a single tear of mine. Do you think he is crying or sititng around being depressed about you, i doubt it! Time is presious & you should not waste it being sad about some guy. Friends are very important & will be key to helping you through this. Do a girls nite out & get lots of phone numbers (not that you should call any back but it will make you feel better. As far as the virginity thing goes, it sounds like the 2 of u had a good relationship & so you shouldnt really regret loosing it to him. And the thing about having regret is you cant change so past so why spend any time wishing you could. My best advice that doesnt just apply to breakups is EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, this guy was clearly not your soul mate, as much as he made you happy there is someone out there that will make you happier! Lastly, when you meet that guy that just sweeps you off your feet, who calls you a princess, whose life revolvs around you & your needs, the guy who you literally could not live without...you will realize that everything does happen for a reason (if you dont already)! Also, after being in a 3yr relationship soudns like you could use some serious single lady time to find yourself & redefine new goals for you & only you!

Sorry to hear been there though.
Well honestly don't sit around at home and just think about it ? get out there have fun go clubbing (if you're old enough" go out with your friends and all do something fun to get your mind off him,don't listen to depressing songs,delete your meassages and everything got to do with him,try avoiding him it'll be hard but you'll get through it i promise you.
Move on let it go,he obviously wasn't worth it at all and you can do better,sometimes you should write down how you feel and everything it really does help,excerise so you feel happy and healthy maybe,just try to keep yourself busy,you'll make it don't worry [:

hmmm.. i've been through this before. except mine lasted a year. if he said that he doesn't need to think about anything, then maybe it's time to let it go. but what happened with my boyfriend was that he regretted it later, because he was actually clear on what was going on. and he wanted me back, did your boyfriend say why he wanted to break up with you exactly? i think you should talk about it, and then take it from there. if it's a stupid answer.. let it go, it's not worth it. because then you'll know that you should be with someone that you can really trust and wouldn't do that to you. i know it is really hard to cope, but you have to let time heal you. just know that, you can fall in love more than once. i know i did, i fell in love with my current boyfriend.
hey, i'm young.. but i've been through many experiences, especially after watching my sister go through things too.. trust me on it.

Walking, Newport
2 Reviews
2 Reviews
I spend a lot of time exploring a location walking around at my leisure. I park my car usually at that Visitor's Center and walk America's Cup Ave to the wharfs and around the waterfront.
I love walking because it allows me the freedom to stop for something to eat or drink, peruse a store, do some shopping, wander with no worries about where to park the car or that the time on the meter is up.
The foot is the best way to get around town and see things. Parking wasn't easy and we were there in mid March so many things were yet to open for the season
It is a wonderful town to just stroll around and see what you can find. Around each corner will always lead to something you have never seen before.

- Cheats: On GameFAQs

Score distribution:
Positive: 9 out of 16
Mixed: 7 out of 16
Negative: 0 out of 16
Jan 21, 2012If you've ever wanted to be a TV cop who acts with reckless disregard for civil society, all for the sake of catching the bad guys, this is your game.
Jan 21, 2012Smash Cops doesn't overstay its welcome by forcing players to deal with its limited variety in gameplay; thanks to this the game remains short, sharp and a fun way to blast away an hour or two.
Jan 26, 2012An open-world battle racer with more crash-bang-wallop than a brass band in a bar-room brawl. It just needs a smidgen more dev to realise its full potential.
Jan 31, 2012Thanks to a brand new control system Smash Cops feels really good and reminds of the Criterion's games atmospheres.
Jan 21, 2012Smash Cops offers a fantastic new control scheme and plenty of polish, making Hutch a developer that's definitely worth keeping an eye on in 2012. But their debut has left us with mixed feelings. We love the originality that's here – we just wish it could have gone a little further into the style of missions on offer.
Jan 21, 2012Don't get us wrong. We like Smash Cops, but there's simply not enough meat on this game's bones to make it one of the premier titles on the App Store. Wait for Hutch Games to add more levels via free update (if that's even a possibility), or at the very least, a price drop.
Mar 13, 2012Sameness is the worst enemy of Smash Cops. A miniscule set of missions will wear you out after just an hour and a half (yep, that's how short the game's career mode is).

"I'm sorry. I'm just prattling on," she said. Her unnecessary apology came in the middle of a fascinating response about proudly growing up in Music City USA and how she first made an indirect connection to the industry in a carpool driven by a guy whose parents were "Rocky Top" songwriters Felice and Boudleaux Bryant.
Elizabeth Cook's guilty pleasure is Nashville. Better make that Nashville, the setting for an outrageous TV show with fictional country-western singers, songwriters and Music Row executives who play each other just as much as the music that made them famous. Maybe some truth lies inside that friction, though.
Nashville, Tennessee is widely associated with country music. But there is so much more to "The Music City" than country music alone. Each neighborhood is like its own little world.
Parker Millsap has plans. Lots of them. Presently, though, his biggest concern is trying to keep one of his mixed-breed dogs from having a family cat for a snack.
For a married couple of countrified rock 'n' rollers who stick to the bare essentials while taking turns banging the beaten drums and trading off other instruments onstage that look like hand-me-downs, Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent don't need a lot to keep them happy.
Spend an hour listening to any country music station these days and you may quickly notice that most songs make at least some reference to booze. Currently more than 10 percent of the top country songs contain drinking references in the title alone.
From poolside DJ sets to soulful jazz in a cozy lounge, hotels give their guests a unique way to enjoy the city without leaving the grounds. If you're someone who loves to kick back and enjoy live music, you'll definitely want to bookmark these 10 hotels!

I believe that schools can make a contribution to reducing overall inequality of opportunity in our society and economy but in what might appear a contrary way: by actually creating inequality in schools.
Though always passionate about architecture and design, it wasn't until 1993, when Colleen Locke redecorated her family's farm house, that she truly fell in love with the process.
Nashville isn't the kind of place you go for a gorgeous landscape, but it is the place you'll return to, to fill your soul with music, hope, and history.
There are so many things to consider if you are contemplating a big move for your retirement. While the financial piece will dictate a lot of it, other things are important too like access to friends and family, cost of living, cost of housing, renting or buying, one home or two, and proximity of good healthcare or continuing education. Will you need a car? Is the new area safe?
As tunes have evolved, some cities have garnered more of a reputation than others for preserving music's narrative.
You haven't heard of Holland Marie. But you will. For two years the Nashville rocker has been ripping up Music City's honky tonks, marching across the stage in her skin-tight, black pleather pants, gyrating her hips and banging her long, brown locks with Def Leppard-like ferocity.

http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/ A service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine® |
The official name of this gene is "serine palmitoyltransferase, long chain base subunit 1."
SPTLC1 is the gene's official symbol. The SPTLC1 gene is also known by other names, listed below.
The SPTLC1 gene provides instructions for making one part (subunit) of an enzyme called serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT). The SPT enzyme is involved in making certain fats called sphingolipids. Sphingolipids are important components of cell membranes and play a role in many cell functions. The SPT enzyme, which is made up of three subunits, initiates the first step of sphingolipid production. Specifically, the enzyme combines the molecules serine and palmitoyl CoA to form a molecule called ketodihydrosphingosine. A series of additional chemical reactions produce sphingolipids. Within the cell, the SPT enzyme is mainly found on the endoplasmic reticulum, which is a structure involved in protein processing and transport.
At least three mutations in the SPTLC1 gene have been found to cause hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1. These mutations change single protein building blocks (amino acids) in the SPTLC1 subunit. One mutation that has been seen in multiple affected families replaces the amino acid cysteine with the amino acid tryptophan at position 133 in the SPTLC1 subunit (written as Cys133Trp or C133W).
Altered SPTLC1 subunits can still be used to build SPT, but the resulting enzyme is nonfunctional. A lack of functional SPT enzyme leads to a decrease in sphingolipid production and a harmful buildup of certain byproducts. Sphingolipids are found in myelin, which is the covering that protects nerves and promotes the efficient transmission of nerve impulses. A decrease in sphingolipids disrupts the formation of myelin, causing nerve cells to become less efficient and eventually die. When sphingolipids are not made, an accumulation of toxic byproducts can also lead to nerve cell death. This gradual destruction of nerve cells results in loss of sensation and muscle weakness in people with hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1.
Cytogenetic Location: 9q22.2
Molecular Location on chromosome 9: base pairs 92,031,133 to 92,115,473
The SPTLC1 gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 9 at position 22.2.
More precisely, the SPTLC1 gene is located from base pair 92,031,133 to base pair 92,115,473 on chromosome 9.
See How do geneticists indicate the location of a gene? (http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/howgeneswork/genelocation) in the Handbook.

Recently, Opelousas, LA R&B Hit Maker, Matt Gradnigo or Matt G, released his DJ Ya Boy Earl assisted mixtape Once Is Never Enough (O.N.E), I chopped it up with the homie, and you can read the interview after the jump....
TheRadioShaq: Where were you the first time you were introduced to music?
Matt G: Actually, it started at home my dad had a huge collection of vinyl records and 8-tracks cassettes which had everything from Marvin Gaye to Earth, Wind, & Fire.
TheRadioShaq: When did you know that you wanted to do music for the rest of your life?
Matt G: In high school I performed in front of the entire student body one year for our Christmas program. The excitement and rush was unexplainable. The praises I received were unexpected and one girl came up to me and told me that I gave her chills. I want to say in that moment I began seeing this as a possible career.
TheRadioShaq: What was the first song that you fell in love with? The first album?
Matt G: The first song I fell in love with had to have been Toni, Tony,Tone's "Anniversary" it was the first song I'd ever memorized, the melodies were really catchy and Raphael Saadiq's delivery had me trying all sorts of things with my voice trying to find it. The first album was most definitely Michael Jackson's "Thriller" that album set a bar of how much emotion, creativity, and vocal talent can be accomplished by an artist.
TheRadioShaq: What interest do you have besides music?
Matt G: In all honesty, I'm a big movie buff. My favorites are comedy and action. I also am really into fitness. The fact that I love music so much I want to be around for a while to do it, ya know, and I'm sure the ladies won't mind during shows.
TheRadioShaq: Which successful artist have you molded your career after most?
Matt G: I would have to say Usher simply because of his longevity and work ethic. He doesn't brag or boast about his accomplishments and
let the bodies of work he's created tell all.
TheRadioShaq: Do you think that coming from a place like Opelousas has helped, or hindered your music career? And in what ways?
Matt G: I would say that it has helped my career, not in a sense of money or popularity, but more of a responsibility. People in today's world are afraid to chase their dreams and I feel like my city does have a lot of talented people in it that deserve the opportunity. I just want to be the one to put our city on the map and bring eyes to this part of south, outside of the rap game, that is a part of what drives me.
TheRadioShaq: With your latest project, where did you draw inspiration from?
Matt G: Once Is Never Enough (O.N.E) was how I wanted listeners to feel after listening to it. My inspiration came from personal stories and also stories I have heard or been a part of. I wanted to make music that women would love and feel catered too , but at the same time give the fellas material they could relate with.
TheRadioShaq: The sound on your latest project is really modern, but there's hints of classic R&B on it, where does this sound come from?
Matt G: That sound was what we going for. When I began this project I sat down with my writing partner Justin "Jayfam" Scott and we brainstormed about what was missing from the R&B game that made people feel like it was "dead". We came to the conclusion that we should pay homage to the era that inspired us to even begin this in the first place.
TheRadioShaq: Do you see it as a challenge to remake popular industry songs, and put your own spin on them?
Matt G: I do see it as challenge only because l want my listener to barely recognize the original song itself. That's really the only challenge I see when remaking a popular song. As far as the concepts go I tend to come up with that the first time I hear the song, only because I often wonder how I would've have done the song if it were originally in my possession.
TheRadioShaq: Why DJ YA BOY EARL? What made you go with him as the host of the tape?
Matt G: When it came down to choosing a DJ to host the tape, I wanted someone who could see and understand my vision. I met Earl after doing a showcase he put together for local talent. After the show he mentioned doing a tape with me and we exchanged contact info. DJ Ya boy Earl is someone who people listen to when it comes down to what is good music.
TheRadioShaq: What message would you have for your supporters?
Matt G: First and foremost thank you, I am beyond humbled for the support I have received so far. I will continue to push forward and take this movement to the another level with your support . I also have future projects in the midst of being put together right now. I only have one request that will help us grow as movement. That is, if you love the project pass it on and tell them to press play.

Martin Midstream Partners Reports 2010 Third Quarter Financial Results
Included with this press release are the Partnership's consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and certain prior periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2010.
Ruben Martin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Martin Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of Martin Midstream Partners L.P said, "Our Partnership's operating performance was solid during the third quarter 2010. Our distributable cash flow (DCF) coverage ratio was 1.11 times; and we again demonstrated the portfolio effect of having a diverse operating model. Our improved performance during the quarter was fueled by two of our four business segments, Marine Transportation and Terminalling and Storage.
Marine Transportation had one of its strongest quarters ever. Our offshore tows continued their work in the Gulf of Mexico clean-up effort, although such clean-up efforts appear to be winding down. Additionally, within Marine Transportation our inland fleet was fully utilized during the quarter on long-awaited slightly improved day rates. Terminalling and Storage, our largest segment, also performed well during the quarter. Our Cross lubricant processing facility continues to see strong product demand for its off take. Also, we saw improved throughput and utilization in our specialty terminal storage system during the quarter. Lastly, we were pleased to execute the previously announced drop-down of two shore based marine terminals into our Terminalling and Storage segment. We anticipate those assets will generate approximately $1.2 million of additional fee-based distributable cash flow annually.
In our Natural Gas Services segment, volume was extremely high through our system during the third quarter well over nameplate capacity of our Waskom processing plant. This was offset, however, by the incremental gas stream being primarily from the Haynesville Shale which is substantially leaner in liquid content.
Our Sulfur Services segment experienced seasonal softening during the third quarter. As is typical, fertilizer demand is at its seasonal low after being strong during the first half of 2010. Looking forward to 2011, we expect to see greater demand for our sulfur-based products. Additionally, we expect continued strong demand for capacity on our sulfur prillers.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Paragon's Partition Manager 10 Saves Data Handling Time, Money
Brendan B. Read
Senior Contributing Editor
Getting more from what you have instead of buying new makes sense at any time but especially so in today's challenging economy. Data centers and hosting providers are in a particular crunch because the volume of information needed to be processed continues to grow unabated but with no spare resources to meet those requirements.
Paragon Software,
which promises to extend the lifecycle of existing data servers while simultaneously saving time and money with its new
Paragon Software's Partition Manager 10 Server
. This solution allows companies to repartition multiple systems automatically and simultaneously through remote, central operations, without having to leave Windows to do it.
By repartitioning existing server resources instead of purchasing new hardware, additional space can be had for a fraction of the cost says the company. Typically, the repartitioning process has been time consuming and cumbersome, often taking many hours for what should be a simple IT task. For a data center, what might have taken hundreds of hours in the past can now be accomplished in a fraction of the time.
Partition Manager 10 Server assists data center managers by enabling them to accomplish the following tasks in a timely manner:
* Perform drive partitioning operations and increase system partitions (C: drive)
* Redistribute free space between partitions and merge two adjacent partitions
* Prepare servers for dual OS use or virtualization
* Repartition servers remotely
* Make images of partitions or entire drives
* Migrate servers to new hardware and larger drives
* Back up / restore partitions or entire drives
Additionally, by utilizing
Partition Manager 10 Server
, companies providing dedicated hosting services to small-midsized business customers can create new revenue streams by having the ability to offer additional service level agreement options.
Partition Manager 10 Server is available directly from Paragon Software Group's list of
authorized resellers
as well as the company's website.
"Paragon's Partition Manager 10 Server provides complete coverage throughout the administration and maintenance lifecycle of server and desktop storage," say Tom Fedro, president of Paragon Software Group. "With Partition Manager 10 Server, data centers and hosting providers are able to repartition multiple servers quickly and reliably – with little to no downtime – which translates into significant monetary savings and more efficient use of existing resources."
Partition Manager 10 follows the heels of another cost-and-time-saving solution from Paragon:
Paragon's HFS+ for Windows. Announced and released in beta in late June, it enables the use of Mac-formatted partitions in Windows operating systems. Utilizing Paragon's own unique technology, the Universal File System Driver (UFSD), Paragon's HFS+ for Windows extends the boundaries of Microsoft (
) Windows' scalability and interoperability. The UFSD technology has been developed to provide full access to volumes of the most popular file systems such as NTFS, FAT, and Ext2/3FS under various platforms, (DOS, Windows, Linux, and Mac) when these file systems are not supported.
Paragon's HFS+ for Windows can be installed on all versions of Windows. It eliminates the need to use complex processes on different platforms, thus reducing costs and increasing the usefulness of the user's existing investment in hardware and software.
Key features include:
* Read access: Gives Windows users the ability to read data from Mac (HFS+ formatted) volumes
* Easy to install: The driver is easily installed through a user-friendly wizard
* High performance: Transfers files at a rate similar to the native Windows NTFS file-system performance
* No system degradation during data transfers
* No limitation to maximum file/partition size: Must be within Windows and HFS+ limitations
"For the past 10 years, Paragon has been developing file system drivers focused on breaking down the barriers to cross-platform communication and providing true operating system independence for our users," says Paragon's Fedro. "HFS+ for Windows is the latest addition to our technology portfolio, and anyone needing to use Mac-formatted partitions under Windows will find it to be an indispensable tool."

Phono preamp
Thought I might dig out the turn table and so I will need a tube phono preamp stage.
I have some 6SL7's and 6SN7's tubes. Can anyone think of some good circuits to try. I have the normal shoe box full of 12AX7's but I would like to make something with an octal tube to stay with my linestage theme. Am I correct in assuming that I can take the output of the phono preamp and input it into my Aikido 6SN7 linestage? |
13th June 2006, 05:47 PM | #2 |
diyAudio Moderator
Yes you definitely can, and the 6SL7 is a pretty good choice for a phono pre-amplifier tube, my next one is planned to use these.
Keep an eye on the miller capacitance though, high output MC highly recommended or a MM type that likes input capacitance. I'd go with passive EQ, and I'm also thinking about trying a cascode input stage, lots of gain and lowered miller capacitance due to the low effective gain of the tube in the lower section of the cascode, and not as noisy as a pentode. I'll probably use a CF to get low source Z to drive a low impedance passive network. We'll see. If you're interested pm me and I'll work out the details if you don't mind being a bit of a guinea pig..

The "classic" RCA passive circuit works as is using 6SL7s instead of 12AX7s. AAMOF, RIAA EQ accuracy is slightly better.
Buffer the preamp's O/Ps with 6SN7 cathode followers.

I would caution using a 6SL7 in place of a 12AX7, since you will fall short on the low frequency response due to reduction in mu....
The RCA phono stages are pretty high in distortion and were not intended for Hi-Fi...and also have major RIAA errors... I design a few 6SL7 phono stages... the 6SL7 can be a great tube.. I posted the schematic on a Yahoo group for tubes... I will dig it up and send it to you... Chris |

I built Thorsten's phono pre and I think it's great. Here's a looooooooong thread about the build (I came in half-way). I ask lots of dumb questions and people get p1ssed at me and stuff-- standard Kofi post.
Anyway, you might want to check that one out. It really sounds nice and was pretty cheapt to build. Also, Thorsten (Kuei Yeng Wang) gives me some pretty detailed advice on the grounding scheme that just killed the hum completely. Good luck. Let us know what you decide to build and update us on your progess. Kofi |

Critical Testing Criteria: Android Handsets
Critical Testing Criteria: Android Handsets
Cameron Sturdevant
Posted 2010-10-12
Android handsets from Motorola, Samsung, HTC and the carriers that love them are coming to an enterprise near you. Be sure to ask these questions.
Android-based smartphone handsets continue the march into consumers' hands and into the workplace. When a new handset starts clamoring to be a part of your corporate network, here are some the critical testing criteria to use when evaluating whether the device can be a good corporate citizen. While many of these criteria are dependent on the underlying Android operating system, there are device- and carrier-specific differences that distinguish handsets in terms of their suitability for enterprise use. 1. Security
Does the handset run an Android version that enables policy management APIs to enable remote wipe and screen lock? Does the device enable numeric PIN or alphanumeric password options? Can Exchange administrators enforce password policy across devices? Look for the ability to sandbox user and corporate data on the device. Does the handset have tamper-resistant technology that can be used to prevent altered phones from working on the corporate network? Can corporate date be encrypted on the device?
2. Connectivity Does the carrier network function in the areas where employees travel? What WiFi radio specifications (a, b, g, n) are supported and at what frequency? Does the handset work with the accessories you need, such as headsets? Is there tethering capability to enable the handset to connect a laptop or other devices to the Internet? Are there bandwidth caps on tethered devices and what additional charges are associated with tethered usage? What is the limit on the number of connected devices? 3. Form factor

Report Slams DHS Fusion Centers: No Terrorists Nabbed, Civil Rights Violated 178
from the that'll-be-a-misdemeanor-reading-/.-charge 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).
And in other news, the Russian Cyber War attack on a SCADA system controlling a water pump that burned out the pump?
Well they decided it was an attack based on a Russian IP address for a control engineers login. He in turn points out that he was asked to check it when he was on holiday (in Russia), and that the pump burned out 5 months later due to simple wear and tear.
More over, the biggest part of this news is that the DHS already knew it wasn't a cyber attack when its press office was leaking details of the story.
As long as the DHS exists, and has a budget to defend it will do this. Just as the FBI has been equipping disgruntled individuals with terrorists garb (plans bombs weapons money) in order to arrest them as terrorists.
They'll keep leaking super secret terrorists plots that have Hollywood scenarios, but lucky they saved us from them, and can't tell us anything about them, other than they were DEFINITELY REAL.
Just last week, Janet Napolitano testified before a congressional committee about the state of terrorism in America. She was testifiying exactly how you would expect the head of a government agency with endless authority and no clear-cut goal to testify. She was.. asking for more money, saying the terrorist threat is greater than ever before, and saying the DHS has helped to curb the terrorist threat.
So.. the DHS:
- We need more taxpayer money
- The terrorist threat is greater than ever before
- The DHS does a great job
Hrm.. seems like bullshit.
A detective, Shannon Dowell, from a Fusion center has been implicated in setting up the "Gulf Port 7" (Occupy protesters) for felony charges:
Last I heard about the case the detective claimed that he lost the USB drive with subpoenaed evidence down a storm sewer on the way to work the morning of his court appearance. Even finding out that a detective from a fusion center had been assigned to infiltrate occupy was difficult.
One of the protesters and his lawyer was interviewed on Democracy Now, here's the transcript: http://www.democracynow.org/2012/9/10/infiltrating_occupy_austin_activists_face_charges [democracynow.org]
"Can we finally admit that the Republicans were right after 9/11, that DHS is not needed and in fact a bad thing, and dismantle it?"
The republicans were in charge at that time. They, in fact, voted to put the damn thing in to go with the republican president who signed the bill. Get your facts straight.
There are three kinds of people: men, women, and unix.

7. Decision Making 2012 1 7.1. Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) Fuzzy inference is the process of formulating the mapping from a given input to an output using fuzzy logic. Fuzzy inference systems have been successfully applied in fields such as automatic control, data classification, decision analysis, expert systems, and computer vision. Inference Input Fuzzifier Defuzzifier Output Engine Fuzzy if then Rule base Knowledge base 2012 2 Step1: Fuzzification • Fuzzifier converts a crisp input into a fuzzy variable (linguistic variable) using the membership functions stored in the fuzzy knowledge base. • Definition of the membership functions must: – reflect the designer's knowledge – provide smooth transition between member and nonmembers of a fuzzy set – simple to calculate • Typical shapes of the membership function are Gaussian, trapezoidal and triangular. 2012 3 For example assume we want to evaluate the health of a person based on his height and weight. The input variables are the crisp numbers of the person's height and weight. Fuzzification is a process by which the numbers are changed into linguistic words 2012 4 Fuzzification of Height: Fuzzification of Weight 2012 5 Step2: Infgerence Engine (Rules) • Rules reflect experts decisions. • Rules are tabulated as fuzzy words • Rules can be grouped in subsets • Rules can be redundant • Rules can be adjusted to match desired results Rules function • Rules are tabulated as fuzzy words – Healthy (H) – Somewhat healthy (SH) – Less Healthy (LH) – Unhealthy (U) 2012 6 Step2:Rules Using If-Then type fuzzy rules converts the fuzzy input to the fuzzy output. 2012 7 In our example: Rules function • Rules are tabulated as fuzzy words – Healthy (H) – Somewhat healthy (SH) – Less Healthy (LH) – Unhealthy (U) 2012 8 2012 9 Step3: Calculate • For a given person, compute the membership of his/her weight and height • Assume that a person height is 6' 1", and weight is 140 lb Membership of Height Membership of Weight 2012 10 Step4: Activate Rules 2012 11 2012 12 Step5: compute Decision Function f = {U, LH, SH, H} f = {0.3, 0.7, 0.2, 0.2} 2012 13 f = {U, LH, SH, H} f = {0.3, 0.7, 0.2, 0.2} 2012 14 Step6: Compute Final Decision (defuzzify) Defuzzification converts the fuzzy output of the inference engine to a crisp output, among other methods two methods are often used: –Maximum Method (not often used) – Centroid of area 2012 15 Maximum Method: Fuzzy set with the largest membership value is selected. In our example: Fuzzy decision • Final Decision (FD) = Less Healthy • If two decisions have same membership max, use the average of the two. 2012 16 Centroid Method: By geometric decomposition The centroid of a plane figure X can be computed by dividing it into a finite number of simpler figures , computing the centroid Ci and area Ai of each part, and then computing 2012 17 but 2012 18 example: We examine a simple two-input one-output problem that includes three rules: Rule: 1 IF brakes are good OR driver is sleepy THEN risk is low Rule: 2 IF brakes are thin AND driver is alert THEN risk is normal Rule: 3 IF brakes are bad THEN risk is high 2012 19 Step1: Fuzzification The first step is to take the crisp inputs (state of the brakes and the state of the driver), and determine the degree to which these inputs belong to each of the appropriate fuzzy sets. 2012 20 Step2:Rules' Evaluation o The second step is to take the fuzzified inputs, and apply them to the antecedents of the fuzzy rules. o If a given fuzzy rule has multiple antecedents, the fuzzy operator (AND or OR) is used to obtain a single number that represents the result of the antecedent evaluation. o This number (the truth value) is then applied to the consequent membership function. 2012 21 2012 22 o Now the result of the antecedent evaluation can be applied to the membership function of the consequent. o The most common method of correlating the rule consequent with the truth value of the rule antecedent is to cut the consequent membership function at the level of the antecedent truth. This method is called clipping (alpha-cut). o Since the top of the membership function is sliced, the clipped fuzzy set loses some information. o However, clipping is still often preferred because it involves less complex and faster mathematics, and generates an aggregated output surface that is easier to defuzzify. 2012 23 Step 3: Aggregation of the rule outputs oWe then take the membership functions of all rule consequents previously clipped and combine them into a single fuzzy set. o The input of the aggregation process is the list of clipped consequent membership functions, and the output is one fuzzy set for each output variable. 2012 24 Step 4: Defuzzification o The last step in the fuzzy inference process is defuzzification. o Fuzziness helps us to evaluate the rules, but the final output of a fuzzy system has to be a crisp number. o The input for the defuzzification process is the aggregate output fuzzy set and the output is a single number. Maximum Method Risk is high 2012 25 Centroid Method: Degree of Membership 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0.0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 67.4 Z 2012 26 7.2. MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Toolbox Introduction Graphical User Interface (GUI) Tools Example: Dinner for two 2012 27 Introduction The Matlab fuzzy logic toolbox facilitates the development of fuzzy-logic systems using: • graphical user interface (GUI) tools • command line functionality The tool can be used for building • Fuzzy Expert Systems • Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) 2012 28 Graphical User Interface (GUI) Tools There are five primary GUI tools for building, editing, and observing fuzzy inference systems in the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox: • Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) Editor • Membership Function Editor • Rule Editor • Rule Viewer • Surface Viewer 2012 29 Graphical User Interface (GUI) Tools 2012 30 Graphical User Interface (GUI) Tools Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) Editor Define number of input and output variables Adjust fuzzy Name and edit inference names of input, functions output variables 2012 31 Graphical User Interface (GUI) Tools Membership Function Editor Select & edit attributes of membership function Display & edit Name & edit values of current parameters of variable membership function 2012 32 Graphical User Interface (GUI) Tools Rule Editor Rules – automatically updated Create and edit rules 2012 33 Graphical User Interface (GUI) Tools Rule Viewer Shows how input variable is used in rules Shows how output variable is used in rules; shows output of fuzzy system 2012 34 Graphical User Interface (GUI) Tools Surface Viewer Shows output surface for any system output versus any one (or Specify input and two) inputs output variables 2012 35 Now apply MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Toolbox for the same example Use the Fuzzy-instruction and adjust no. of inputs and outputs and method of defuzzification 2012 Hany Selim 36 Step1: Fuzzification Breaks functions 2012 Hany Selim 37 Driver functions 2012 38 Risk function (output) 2012 39 Rules 2012 Hany Selim 40 Define input and find output output input 2012 Hany Selim 41 Surface Viewer: 2012 42 Try the example: Example: Tip Calculator Golden rules for tipping: 1. IF the service is poor OR the food is bad, THEN tip is cheap (5%)*. 2. IF the service is good, THEN tip is average (15%). 3. IF the service is excellent OR the food is delicious, THEN tip is generous (25%) Use Gaussian functions for service, and Use Trapezoidal functions for food, and Use Triangular functions for tip *Peak of Triangular function • Universe of discourse for Service and Food=1 to 10 • Calculate Tip for Service=3 and food=6 2012 43 Areas in which Fuzzy Decision-making Systems can be used They include the following: Manufacturing: Scheduling and planning materials flow, resource allocation, routing, and machine and equipment design.

Thieves Thinking Large
*Sometime between March and May, thieves stole an eighteen-ton steel bridge that connected an isolated cottage to a main road near Bytow, Poland. And in May in Liverpool, England, thieves stole about 250 feet of a street (5000 cobblestones). Also in May thieves stole the entire left field fence of the Capitola-Soquel (California) Little League field.
Insufficiently Attentive People
*In February Timothy Devine, age 37, thought he had merely been struck in the ear while in a Boston park trying to purchase marijuana and that he could walk off the pain. When he decided to go to Quincy Hospital, attendants confirmed his sneaking suspicion that he had been shot in the head.
*In March a 20-year-old man was charged with attempted murder in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, for stabbing a 29-year-old man, an acquaintance, in the head. The victim walked out of his apartment after the stabbing, fully conscious and speaking despite the fact that the butcher knife was still embedded in his skull. He survived.
You Heard It Here First
*In May, according to Pasadena, California, Fire Department Chief Joe Nestor, about 1000 swifts (a small migratory bird similar to a swallow) flew down the chimney of a couple's home and filled their house. And in Augusta, Georgia, thousands of bees swarmed on Betty Robinson's 1984 Buick, possibly because of the new brand of car air freshener she was using. In May in Weymouth, England, about 20,000 bees covered Jane Clark's house. Clark, trapped inside, could not get the town council to help her because, said a spokesman, bees are a protected species. The bees left of their own accord after two days.
*In March in New York City, Adonis Gomez, age two, playing on the sofa in a third-floor apartment, bounced out the window but landed safely in the lap of Barbara Jones, age 31, who was sitting in a wheelchair on the sidewalk. A month earlier in Brooklyn, Bishme Owens, age two, was thrown out of an eighth-floor window by his grandmother (who has a history of mental illness). His descent was slowed by tree branches; he landed in a flower bed and broke only his arm.
*In May at Beaver Brook Golf Course in Haydenville, Massachusetts, Todd Obuchowski was credited with a hole-in-one on a par-three hole after his tee shot went over the green and onto a highway, hit a passing Toyota, ricocheted back to the green, and rolled into the cup. At least eight other golfers witnessed the shot.
*In May in Aelesund, Norway, Kristin Nalvik Loendal, age nine, who rode her bike down a steep hill and failed to stop at an intersection, swerved into the path of an oncoming car and was knocked into the air. The driver of the car stopped to help the girl but couldn't find her. As he discovered several hours later, she had landed in the bed of a truck going the opposite direction and sustained only bruises.

One of the best pieces from the currently in limbo Odyn Vovk, from the F/W 2009 collection. 100% boiled Italian wool, with authentic horn buttons. A lot of cool subtle details, and it's easy to wear with a lot of things due to its minimalistic design.
The coat is in great condition. Buttons are in perfect condition, no rips or tears anywhere. Stock pics to better capture the jacket.
Fits me well, at a size 48-50, but should fit up to a 52 pretty well.
