Mr Holmolka from City of Zinj, Congo
Installed this amp a few days ago and so far am impressed with it. I currently have it running 1 Rockford 10 P3D4 at 500 watts at a 2 ohm load. I used the supplied speaker level RCA input harness and while I was a little nervous that it wouldn't work as good as regular pre amp inputs it was pleasantly surprised. The amp turns on and off instantly with the radio and seems to be putting out quality sound from this input signal.
The few grips I do have are minor, first is the writing on the side of the amp indicating positive and negative and what inputs are what. This writing is a dark white color on a silver panel, making it very hard to see. I don't know why they didn't use black writing. Something you don't want to mix up shouldn't be hard to read. The other thing I didn't care for was the lack of bass boost on the amp without the remote, you can get the bass boost to work with the remote, but you have to leave it plugged in for it to work. If you unplug it you loose the signal. It would be nice if they some type of memory for when you unplugged it or a stand alone knob on the amp itself if you didn't want to run the remote.

Matt from Milwaukee, WI
I have this amp hooked up to a P2D4-8 with a stock stereo. If I was going to up grade the whole stereo (head unit, and ALL speakers) I would go bigger. But I'm not and this set up works very well to get that little extra bass missing with the stock stereo and more than a small all in one sub-amp-box.
September 11, 2013 | One of the Best Budget Amps |

Josh from Lakewood, CO
I bought this amp to power a '13 Kicker CompR 12" and it hits hard and stays clean. Amp stays cool. Paired with Pioneer Head Unit. The new Kicker CompR has an impedance selector to switch it from 4ohm to 1ohm. This amp is 1ohm stable at 800w RMS which is exactly what the woofer is rated for, so its a perfect match.

Joe from Littleton, CO
I have zero complaints, the install was easy (like most amps), and I'm powering two 12's, it doesn't suck energy when the car is off, and I haven't noticed any distortion in the sound, very nice, very loud. The bass controller is a nice touch too.
October 31, 2013 | Great product |

Allen from Sault Ste. Marie, ON, Canada
Great amp with the budget people in mind. Pounds my two pioneer 10s in a sealed box amazingly. Bought this amp because of TRUE res wattage, and it definitely puts out. I have these and two ts-w260d4 subs in the smallest box I could find inside my 2014 fiesta titanium. Using a scoche 5 gage amp kit and 500 micro farad cap. Great for metal and ok for bassy music. I would give it a 9/10 due to screws coming loose on speaker terminals after a couple weeks of pounding. XD

Review by
Derek from Overland Park, KS
I simply love this amp! I simply hate Pioneer customer service! I got it from Amazon, and after a month the amp died. Little did I know, Amazon was not an authorized online distributor, so the warranty wasn't valid. Luckily, Pioneer said, based on the manufacturing date, they will replace it for free. Lucky me, right! Anyway, I know Pioneer and their amps and great quality and I just happened to get the short end of the stick this time. I will eventually get the higher power version of this amp. Still, this is a great amp!

Bummer about it living on the shelf. Odd to think it was considered "Not User Servicable" even back then.
Rest assured the Panoram can take excellent pics. I took one (along with a 35mm Widelux) on a trip down all of Route 66 this past July. It did a great job. Somewhat soft lens, but that big neg makes up for a lot.

MIAMI — These NBA Finals were apparently about the kids.
Whether it was Tim Duncan spending a few minutes with his children at halftime of Game 5 of the series — a scene captured by television cameras as the Spurs' forward sat on the floor resting up for the second half — or Miami Heat star LeBron James celebrating one of his sons' birthdays in San Antonio last week, kids were never out of mind for either team during the title series.
"They know if I won or lost," James said. "But for the most part, when you have them around, man, it puts everything in perspective."
James was planning to spend some time before Game 7 of the finals on Thursday night against San Antonio watching SpongeBob with his kids, and most of the Heat players were expected to have the vast majority of their families in the building for the final game of the season.
Heat forward Chris Bosh said even at the most important time of the season, having his children around makes life much easier, especially because they aren't wrapped up in the pressure that comes with trying to win an NBA championship.
"Kids are the best medicine because they don't care anything about the game," Bosh said. "They don't even know what Game 7 means. Of course they know Daddy wants to win and they want Daddy to win and that's good enough. But all they want to do is have fun, smile and play."
PLAYOFF SHARES: The Heat and Spurs were playing for a little something more than the NBA title on Thursday night. There also was a small amount of cash at stake.
OK, "small" perhaps might only be in NBA-player terms.
In actuality, the clubs were playing Game 7 for $776,717.
Such was the difference in the playoff shares that the clubs would be receiving from the league out of this season's $13 million pool of postseason money. The winning team on Thursday night would be getting an additional $2,302,232 to split however it chooses from the league office; the losing team would be getting an additional $1,525,515.
Entering Thursday, the Heat had already earned $1,509,376 in playoff-share money, broken down thusly: $374,947 for finishing with the NBA's best record, $328,078 for having the best record in the Eastern Conference, $194,016 for playing in the first round, $230,853 for playing in the conference semifinals and $381,482 for appearing in the conference finals.
San Antonio's take through three rounds was $1,070,046. The Spurs got $263,695 for finishing with the second-best record in the Western Conference and the same allocations as the Heat did for appearing in each of the first three playoff rounds.
This was the second straight season where the league's playoff pool was $13 million. It's never been higher, and in the 1951 playoffs, players and coaches shared a postseason pool of $50,000 — that would only be about $447,971 in today's value.
WHISTLE WATCH: More fouls were called per game this season in the NBA than a year ago, though whistles apparently blew at a less-frequent rate than at just about any other point in the last quarter-century.
Entering Thursday, there were an average of 39.99 fouls called per game (including both the regular season and the playoffs) in the NBA this season, up slightly from last year's 39.39-per-game clip.
Still, that looks like pretty good behavior when compared to just a few seasons ago.

DNA of male students, staff in French school to be tested to find rapist of schoolgirl, 16
Published on Apr 13, 2014 9:09 PM
LA ROCHELLE, France (AFP) - More than 500 male students and staff at a French school will undergo DNA tests from Monday in a bid to discover who raped a 16-year-old girl in a dark school toilet.
The tests, a first in a French school, will end on Wednesday and target 475 high school students, 31 teachers and 21 others present on the premises on September 30 when the rape happened.
The schoolgirl was assaulted in the private Catholic Fenelon-Notre-Dame high school in the south-western Atlantic port city of La Rochelle.
The attack took place after the light from an automatic time switch went off and she therefore could not give the physical details of her attacker.

Walking distance to town. Nice pool. Lovely traditional room
Building works.
Deluxe room with very helpful and friendly staff location is excellent as within walking distance to main square and nearby restaurants
Pool area along with bar and parking lot had nightly congregations of locals, drinking, partying in the parking lot and generally taking over the whole pool area. Happened almost every night and chased guests away to their rooms. Midas needs to get control of this as its a safety and security concern.
good location with easy access to village. Clean, friendly, pool very nice.
noisy bar area, music loud and late into evening. They did quiet things down after we complained. Hot water was not working in our room so cold shower not acceptable at these prices.
The outdoor dining in the beautiful setting is very relaxing. I highly recommend the fruit platter and belizean breakfast. Around the compound we saw frogs and lizards.
You can here person in next room very well.
We stayed in the deluxe suite, not one of the individual cabanas/cottages. It was comfortable accommodations in a nice setting. Large room, working mini fridge. Good value. Breakfasts were good - choice of American style or local. Didn't use the pool although it looked very nice and clean. The Midas Resort was on the edge of town, so we had to drive to go eat downtown - there was only one restaurant really close and it wasn't great. It was easy enough to drive around in San Ignacio if you have a car.
During the first day of our stay, the room had an extremely strong smell of cleaners/bug spray - strong enough to make me feel sick. We left the windows open, and by the second day, it was gone. Prior to staying at the Midas, we had stayed at a similar resort in San Ignacio which offered better value, so we were a little disappointed that we had changed hotels.
The cabana we stayed in was very cute and cozy. Lots of beautiful plants and well maintained gardens amongst all the cabanas, cottage, etc.
Difficult to read outside at night because cabana lights not that bright and always loud music playing around the pool. Furthermore, none of the guests ever seemed to be hanging around the pool which we believe is because of a) the loud music, and b) the group of the bartender's friends always hanging out around the bar in the evening playing video games. This sort of ruined the atmosphere and appeal of the pool as a place to relax in the evening and so we never did.
Staff was engaging and accommodating. The facilities were clean and inviting.
No elevator for wheel chair. Although it was good exercise for me to walk the stairs!
Close to town but yet you are in a jungle setting. Great food and wonderful service. Lisa one of the waitresses made it a point to remember and great us by our names everyday. Great pool Easy to book tours at the hotel, get picked up and charged to your room.

Nice clean rooms. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Close to downtown Cayo.
Dirt road in front if Midas is rough.
Overall we highly recommend this place if you are looking for a rustic simple lodging. If you are looking for a luxury hotel this is not the place (you should go to K'ana and pay 3-4 times the price). The name "Resort" is a bit misleading, So there is a difference between the cabana rooms or the deluxe rooms and we tried them both. In fact we stayed in cabana #8, cabana #17, cabana #14, and deluxe #20. HIGHLIGHT of the place are THE STAFF who are out of this world friendly, helpful, and nice. They will go out of their way to make sure you are happy and taken care of. Genuinely couldn't have asked for better service. We asked to move out of a room bc we didn't like the bed, they were super understanding and moved us immediately. Bathroom - really depends on the unit, #8 was remodeled so the bathroom was super nice! Felt like the bedroom and bathroom were completely different hotels. The pressure decent, could get pretty warm to hot water at a decent pressure. All the other units varied in size and such but didn't ever have issues with the bathroom. The cabana rooms are pretty basic but has a good AC that will cool it down immediately. Unless the cabana is one that is sitting in the sun (try to avoid #14). And cabana #8 has an old bed that was not so comfortable but we asked to move and they did so immediately. All the other beds we found were fine. The cabanas were a bit more rustic - and yes you will find ants and bugs here and there in the rooms but I'm not sure why you are in San Ignacio if you are looking for a Hilton hotel. The deluxe rooms did feel a bit more modern and newer, so if you are looking for slightly nicer accommodations, try a deluxe room for an extra $30 USD. The restaurant - the food is decent, nothing to rave about, but when you are hungry and don't feel like trekking into town, it's perfect since the kitchen is open pretty late. Prices are about what you'll find in town, but for mediocre food.
We had a deluxe suite, which was very cozy and spacious. Nice pool bar and restaurant as well.
The bathroom was very nice.
The location. It didn't seem like a very safe, secure area. We didn't seem to have gotten the room we had reserved.
Location was good to walk into town. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful
Not enough water pressure to take a warm shower, no blow dryers for your hair.
pretty grounds...good food for the price and convenient restaurant. friendly staff..fairly close to town
pool was dirty. last nite, ac seemed to need more freon but when told staff, seemed like they would take care of it...the door to our room and casing needed to be caulked...we had a very cute and friendly geeko in our room.
beautiful gardens. great day trip location, fantastic access to local market. Staff and owner are really great people.
having a coffee maker but having to buy coffee packs. having to ask for enough cups or glasses,and having to ask for clean ones the next day. also the kitchen does not open till 7AM.
A unique experience staying at the Midas. The cabanas were very nice. The grounds are full of wonderful plants and flowers and each morning the array of birds was often stunning (including Toucans!!). Breakfast was served early enough that you didn't need to delay a day trip in order to eat first. I particularly enjoyed the Belizian breakfast with the Fry Jacks. Booked a day trip to Tikal, Guatemala and the staff at Midas took care of everything including border exit fees, park entrance fees, transportation and a VERY knowledgable guide. Drinks were good and affordable at the 'Ice Bar' and Wi-Fi was good too. There was no dinner served while I was there but you could order from several nearby restaurants and they would deliver very quickly. My room was big and clean and the bathroom was well equipped. All in all it was a very enjoyable stay. Loved the jungle atmosphere!!!
The road outside the front gate was in very bad condition.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The resort was small and comfortable --the rooms and outdoor area seem like they've been recently renovated.
Although somewhat close to a very nice town, the location was somewhat secluded and peaceful.
Great hotel, 5 minute walk to town. Book tours directly with them, they were at least $10 cheaper than the agencies in town. Very friendly staff A++ service. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This particular crap attack shut down my browser and installed a half dozen items, one of which even hijacked task manager while its sibling attacked my registry with a "free" "scan", popping up decoy boxes with non responsive close buttons. I had to manually uninstall items I wasn't permitted to decline and restart my system, only to find that SpeedFan was not downloaded, installed, or even offered.
If these sorts of things happen to you, please let whomever--CNET, Almico, and email@example.com, in this case, know. They don't want this crap using them and degrading their perceived value any more than you want it on your PC.
Once Again, as of March 1, 2013, I suggest Download366.com/SpeedFan found at http://www.almico.com/

Sadly, after CBS, Inc. (no relation to what was once the Columbia Broadcasting System, for those old enough to know what that was) acquired CNET, the new owners began to embrace what might be called the "marketplace morality" that has tainted capitalism in the U.S., and began to include crapware ('garbageware' might be a more appropriate term) with their downloads.
Which is why I only use CNET as a reference (and for users' reviews), but no longer download from them -- EVER; instead, I download from Softpedia (who ALWAYS flag software the contains potentially unwanted 'extras' and, whenever possible, provide clean -- or 'slim' -- versions), FileHippo Major Geeks or the vendor's site.

AloneDo you know what it means to be alone? Had no friends, no social life, and no normal family? Deidara knew. It hurts... actually it hurts like hell. Like every time you thought about it - feel sharp pain in the chest. Anger, sadness, envy is your constant emotions and you can't get away from them. Other people do not see it, because of the mask. A shell of happy teenager, pretending that everything is all right, but it is not. Then nobody saw him, smile disappear from face and he became nobody again. Sometimes he felt like a doll beautiful outside, empty inside and so easy to break.Deidara sighed looking into the ceiling of his dark room. Today was one of his misery days, one of the bad ones, when he can't pretend anymore. He had them time to time. Then his emotions burst out and all defenses shatter. He just had to let it out and then everything will be back to normal. Deidara sat on the bed and turn on music. That helped him to relax heavy sound of guitars, d
The Waxen LullabyFarewell to leaning fortress grey,Your bower walls are winding trees.Crowns aflame with breaking day,A-tremble in the breeze.Send your wandrings to the sky,Set your mantle shining bright,Outrun the blood-red eventideOutshine the stars at night.Let your weary steps be swayedFar from your hearth, far from your home.Life and longing now forbadeWhen to the witchs realm you roam.Be wary, fear the cursed gazeWeathered face and eye of stone,Embers in the ashes blaze,And you are waxen to the bone.No weary falling of the limb!No sight to see the sunrise dim!No touch to feel the fallen snow!Afar afar afar you go!And you are waxen to the bone.
DeceptionThe dawn has brought with it insecurityAn empty aching feeling that I am failingFailing them, failing youDestined to fail at all I do.Disposable,Unstable,My sanity feastingAt a cold sterile table.The mirror lies when it sees meReflecting what the world can see.Dig deeper...You will find I'm cheaper.Scarred and disfiguredDisgraced by my own hands,Disgusting deedsPride and worth ripped in shreds.Will you want meWhen you really know me?May 9, 2011

In the end, as I think I alluded in my first post, no real right or wrong in reality, ALL the points given must be accounted for.
You're right, there's no right or wrong as far as privacy is concerned. Maneuverability and environmental issues are something else.
If I was in the situation you described above visiting a YC, we'd more than likely back in and party with the crowd. But our marina is very small with only about four seasonal slip holders (all in a row) on our dock who are there every weekend. The two 30-footers go stern in and we chat quite nicely across our cockpits. The larger sailboats in the next two slips back in (mostly because of ease of boarding) and we go visiting, chat on the dock over beer, etc. The configuration hasn't hindered us from making anchoring playdates and getting to know each other.
The Island Packet dealer uses our marina so the rest of the boats are charters or for sale (some for sale so long that I've never seen them leave the slip except for winter storage) and we get quite a few "dockwalkers" just looking. Because our dock is not gated, bow in is also a weak attempt at security.

EPA: 1 in 3 Americans breathing sooty air
(Read article summary)The Environmental Protection Agency notified officials in 211 counties in 25 states that their air did not meet the agency's strengthened standards for levels of fine particles.
The Environmental Protection Agency notified officials in 211 counties in 25 states that their air did not meet the agency's strengthened standards for levels of fine particles.
The PM 2.5 standard, as it's called, restricts the amount of airborne fine particles with a diameter smaller than 2.5 micrometers, or about one-thirtieth the diameter of a human hair. These particles, such as those emitted by power plants, livestock operations, diesel engines, and wood-burning stoves, are thought to be associated with poor health.
In 2006, the agency tightened the standards from 65 micrograms per cubic meter of air to 35 micrograms per cubic meter. If the levels of these fine particles in a given area exceed that figure for more than 24 hours, the area is considered not in compliance.
According to the Associated Press, the stricter standards mean that 15 new metro areas got failing marks. The EPA's list of too-sooty counties, which are home 100 million Americans, now includes 46 cities.
States with areas that fall below the EPA's standards will have three years to develop plans for improving air quality, or risk fines. From there, the areas will have another two years to meet the standards.
"These designations are an important step in our steady march toward cleaner air," said EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson in a press release. "We will continue working with our state and tribal partners to meet these air quality standards."
The press release noted that, nationwide, monitored levels of fine particle pollution dropped 11 percent from 2000 to 2007.
Critics argue, however, that even though the air is getting less sooty, the EPA's enforcement is still too lax.

Unloved angel, whom I must say indeed, you look quite ethereal, though you are considered a weed.
A weed with divine power, and the ability to outthink, you can simply make the flowers wilt and shrink.
A weed with truly hypnotic eyes, that glare and pierce the dead who rise.
Creating truths that cannot be lied, how you kill so many who are frightened inside.
Painting stories and crushing all, watch them run, watch them fall.
And here you are, chained to your sins, farewell dear one, rest well within.

Gramercy Park is a private park in New York City that's open to the public only once a year. The remainder of the year only those who live in the neighborhood and are given keys can access the park. The park was created from swampland in 1831. It's located between East 20th Street and East 21st Street and between Park Avenue South and Third Avenue. Today, Gramercy Park is the only remaining private park in the Borough of Manhattan. Inside the iron gates is a statue of Edwin Booth, brother of John Wilkes Booth, the man who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. Edwin Booth was New York City's greatest 19th century Shakespearian actor.
Visitors can walk around the fenced-in park and see the many early-nineteenth century townhouses and buildings. Along the edges of the park are also many interesting Greek Revival townhouses from the 1840's. Many have beautiful ornate wrought-ironwork that looks a lot like buildings in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The Greek Revival townhouses have been home to many well-known American business people and celebrities like James Harper of Harper and Row Publishing House.

Upside Down (2013)
I love how this film explains the setup of the complicated plot, thus, making it easier for the audience to blend in and adopt.
The love story it entails is nothing new but the big picture is the idea of making the heaven & earth romance in a quite literal way but with figurative blend.
I just feel that there are shortcomings on how Adam end up on his work and from that after, the story seems to be cut down and the ending comes right away.
8/10 rawrrrrrsThis looks pretty amazing. A whole different concept to a movie. I like it it a lot by the looks of the trailer.
2 years agoby @Shaun-ClarkFlag
well i love the idea, i really want to watch this. also this film is a total rip off of a the classic PS1 game "Tales of Destiny" and "Tales of Destiny" which isn't a bad thing i love the "Tales" franchise as a whole and i recommend buying a copy (even if you don't like JRPG's the people who do would like to play these games in our own language, and as such needs our support) also i just took a look to my right and saw the "More Movies Like This" thing and I'm impressed really because its advertising "Castle in the Sky" which was inspired by joules vern's classic tale of "Journey to Atlantis" or was it 20k Leagues Under the Sea" either way the one about atlantis. its a goos film and i highly recommend it.

Heman Park
UNIVERSITY CITY (KMOV.com) – University City Police said they arrested a man who allegedly killed a young man at a class reunion at a University City Park.
Michael Casey, 21, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Police said he admitted to opening fire at a class reunion at Heman Park in July, leaving 20-year-old Mario Wallace dead.
On July 26, police responded to a call where two adult males were wounded by gunfire during a class reunion. The reunion was held during "Picnic in the Park," an annual reunion for many graduating classes at University City High School.
Wallace was taken to an area hospital where he died of his injuries. The other victim, a 39-year-old man, was transported to a local hospital where he received treatment.
"Picnic in the Park" had ended at the time of the incident, but witnesses said more than 1,000 people were still in the park when shots were fired.

We have previously shown that myelin abnormalities characterize the normal aging process of the brain and that an age-associated reduction in Klotho is conserved across species. Predominantly generated in brain and kidney, Klotho overexpression extends life span, whereas loss of Klotho accelerates the development of aging-like phenotypes. Although the function of Klotho in brain is unknown, loss of Klotho expression leads to cognitive deficits. We found significant effects of Klotho on oligodendrocyte functions, including induced maturation of rat primary oligodendrocytic progenitor cells (OPCs) in vitro and myelination. Phosphoprotein analysis indicated that Klotho's downstream effects involve Akt and ERK signal pathways. Klotho increased OPC maturation, and inhibition of Akt or ERK function blocked this effect on OPCs. In vivo studies of Klotho knock-out mice and control littermates revealed that knock-out mice have a significant reduction in major myelin protein and gene expression. By immunohistochemistry, the number of total and mature oligodendrocytes was significantly lower in Klotho knock-out mice. Strikingly, at the ultrastructural level, Klotho knock-out mice exhibited significantly impaired myelination of the optic nerve and corpus callosum. These mice also displayed severe abnormalities at the nodes of Ranvier. To decipher the mechanisms by which Klotho affects oligodendrocytes, we used luciferase pathway reporters to identify the transcription factors involved. Together, these studies provide novel evidence for Klotho as a key player in myelin biology, which may thus be a useful therapeutic target in efforts to protect brain myelin against age-dependent changes and promote repair in multiple sclerosis.

Xbox 360 branded harddrive a maniacal deal
And what are those Star Wars characters doing there in the picture? Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen - the cost and the characters have to do with one another, but they certainly don't seem to be equalling out. First, you may have seen this harddrive before - the same device comes in packs with Gears of War 3 and Modern Warfare 3, amongst others. Those of you who want to get the harddrive by itself will have to pay a penny that's much more pretty than you could have ever imagined: $130 USD. Not quite the droids we were looking for.

Don't Get Nailed For Piracy
When it comes to corporate software piracy, watchdog groups like the Business Software Alliance (BSA) and Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) work on behalf of major software vendors like Microsoft, Adobe, Symantec and others to make sure businesses aren't engaging in copyright infringement. The BSA and SIIA rely on tips from anonymous sources, usually current or former employees, and then investigate businesses by asking them to submit to a software audit. What should businesses do when they receive a software audit request from the BSA/SIIA? The International Association of IT Asset Managers (IAITAM) offers some advice for dealing with a difficult situation.
For a closer look at software piracy in the channel, see a preview of our exclusive report, "Software Piracy: Are You A Trusted Adviser Or An Accomplice To A Crime?" The full article is available exclusively in the CRN Tech News app.
As solution providers position themselves for growth, the pressure is on vendors and distributors to meet their partners' needs. Here CRN presents the 2015 Channel Chiefs, our annual look at the executives responsible for running channels at today's IT vendors.

Notes & Reviews:
This world premiere of a gripping new work by composer Harrison Birtwistle and librettist David Harsent, commissioned by The Royal Opera, brings the monstrous Greek mythological character to the stage. The Minotaur, part man, part beast, trapped in his labyrinth and constrained by his bloodthirsty role there, longs to discover his true identity and his own voice. Athens must pay a blood sacrifice to Crete and among the innocents is Theseus, who has come to challenge the violent Minotaur.

Project Day Three: Indra's Promise
The net of the great god Indra was said to span all of space, finer than silk, and strung with pearls reflecting each other and all others along the infinite reach of the net at once forever.
Thus seemingly was foretold in Buddhist scripture the vision of Felix Klein, and the mathematical constructions used in the fractal type of this post, as paraphrased from the book, 'Indra's Pearls.'
Good evening, and welcome to the launch of the first weekday of this project's posts, my attempt to more fully explore this sometimes cross but rewarding fractal type based on the mathematics of the interaction of spirals and the objects it leads to.
Today I've got four images to show, what I think to be the very best from today and last night generated by my current favorite app, Ultra Fractal over a period of several hours.
This on was made using my first parameter file created for this series (I generated ten such files, adjusted as needed), using an extremely well-designed coloring algorithm, 'Double Cusp' Kleinian group settinmgs and a rather fortuitous combination of color gradient settings.
This one uses a figure altered threefold with a kaleidoscopic transformation, using a different coloring algorithm and different but still striking gradient settings. I like to randomize and shift gradients around when coloring these, just to see what I'll get, though the app certainly allow easy non-random color adjustments as well.
This one used my second file created, and used a different coloring algorithm than the previous two and different Kleinian groups (Schottky bubbles) to generate this image. Of today's pieces, it took the longest to render, but was well-worth it I think.
The scope and potential of this fractal type is amazing, despite the relatively simple starting idea of interacting spirals, or perhaps even because of it. I'll include further images tomorrow, and may you all fare well the remainder of this week.
Talotaa frang.

Beautiful Apollonian Gaskets, would you be willing to release the parameters for the first image ?

The room was fabulous. Views were amazing Kitchenette clean and convent.
This was a perfect place for a NYC family reunion--close to great groceries, restaurants, museums, Central Park, the subway. The suites are roomy and well-appointed.
Room was immaculate, warm and great kitchenette and bathroom. Bed was very comfy and the room had storage for a week long winter trip. The subway is minutes from the hotel and runs directly to Times Square, Columbus Circle, 34th Street (Madison Square Garden) and then to Battery Park for the ferries.
I was pleased with the contact and support I got but was a little disappointed with the airport shuttle as I wasn't told about the other stops on the way. It didn't matter in the end but we spent 90 mins in the shuttle between 2.50 and 4.20am.
Brilliant location less than 2 minute walk to the subway (Times square less than 5 minutes) Fairways grocery store directly across the road with excellent selection of foods. Hotel had wonderful helpful staff. Rooms perfect. Small kitchen area handy for breakfast and light snacks. we had room on 17th floor very quiet. Good laundry facilities available. Free Wi-Fi also. Approx. 10 minutes walk to central park and national history museum. Overall great hotel, would highly recommend.
The location was great - away from the hustle and bustle of mid town and at the same time a short stroll from Central Park.
The unbelievably cold weather - nothing to do with the venue! On the upside the location was perfect as the subway entrance was just on 73 street so we didn't have to go far to use the MTA.
Location, having a kitchen, having a separate living room area
Facility is a bit tired. No parking.
Bed so comfortable! Location fab , close to Subway , shops , Central Park. Great facilities in room with separate sleeping, living and cooking areas.
The location is terrific for our purposes, the room was quiet and having a small kitchen is just great for a quiet cup of tea or a late afternoon bite to eat when you want to put your feet up and gather yourself for the evening.
Dripping sink with a faucet that wouldn't quite shut off.
The room itself and the staff
Poor wifi, too soft a bed.
Beacon Hotel is located at 2130 Broadway, betweeen 74th and 75th Streets, a peaceful neighbourhood near Central Park. The nearest Subway Station is at 72th Street, in Verdi Square, where you can take 1, 2 and 3 lines. You can easily reach any location just in a few time. The scructure - a 25-level building - is well-mainteined and the room is spacious and good. Bedrooms were bright - but the sofa-bed wasn't really confortable. There was also a small, well-equipped kitchen. The bathroom was quite spacious and clean. The hotel staff was kind and helpful. The wi-fi connection wasn't speed, but good. I would recommend Beacon Hotel to everyone who wants to spend great time in New York.
Our room was spacious, well decorated, and very comfortable. There was an umbrella in the closet, an adorable kitchenette with dishes and cook wear, and really, really luxurious bath products. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable.
The location and the staff.
The heater was broken in our room, and they try to fix it ?.
The Beacon Bar was literally absurdly overpriced. I mean I understand it's NYC, but I paid $35 for an Old-Fashioned and a glass of house red. And the old-fashioned was amazingly underwhelming.
A Fantastic room! So convenient to so many things. Very pleasant staff!
The suite was spacious and quiet. The location is in walking distance of three great bakeries and grocery stores. It's like being in France in that neighborhood.
Laundry facilities, location
Sofa bed uncomfortable
Location is very handy to the subway. One bedroom appartment was great for our family of four two double beds with a fold out bed in the lounge. Kitchen well stock with crockery and glasses and if not in the kitchen with a quick call to housekeeping we soon hard what was required. Full sized fridge a bonus.We stayed over New year period for 10 nights,so rates quite high but it is New York. Loved the views.
Fold out bed springs a bit tired. Ended up turning made up mattress around, great solution.
Great Location Friendly Staff Nice bar attached to hotel
Heat did not work in main room of suite
The kitchenettes and closeness to Fairway, Citerella, Zabars, etc. made feeding a family easy. The suites were comfortable, clean and well-appointed, the staff courteous and helpful and the proximity to the park and museums wonderful.
The noise from the in room refrigerator kept me from sleeping. Aside from that it was an amazing stay. Thank you.
Loved location, cleanliness, quiet, great gym!
We hadn't thought through the fact that these rooms have kitchenettes - no room service. However, there is a great bar downstairs and a decent restaurant next door.

Florence see + do
As the cradle of the Italian Renaissance, Florence is a never-ending cultural feast. One of the fascinating things about the city of Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Brunelleschi is the way the sacred and the secular coexist: For every art-packed church like Santa Croce or Santa Maria Novella, there's a proud monument to the city's ruling Medici dynasty (Palazzo Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery) and its wealthy merchant and banking class (Orsanmichele, Palazzo Pitti). Obviously, you'll want to check out the iconic masterpieces like Michelangelo's David (at the Accademia) and Botticelli's Birth of Venus (at the Uffizi), but try to make time for less visited but equally worthwhile Florence museums like the Bargello or the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, as well as excursions to outlying sights like Fiesole or San Miniato al Monte. And although the art of the past is the main draw, don't forget that Florence hosts one of Italy's best classical music and opera festivals—the spring Maggio Musicale—and is ideally situated for touring the Chianti wine region. Note that museum tickets can be booked in advance for major Florence museums at the Firenze Musei Web site, www.firenzemusei.it. However, only the Galleria degli Uffizi and the Galleria dell'Accademia generally have the kind of lines that make advance booking advisable.
