Reviews of the Week
More international acclaim for Dennis Russell Davies' and the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester's recordings of music by Lutoslawski and Bartók on
Musique funèbre
This intelligent and satisfying programme features three contrasting miniature masterpieces by Bartók, and prefaces them with Lutoslawskis Musique funèbre, subtitled À la mèmoire de Béla Bartók. As the only one of Lutoslawsikis works dedicated to a composer, it reflects the extent to which the Pole saw his older Hungarian colleague as a kindred spirit. [...] His tone row, though, is appealingly earthy, and the 12-note chords at the climax have a powerful scrunch, especially in this searing performance from the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra under Dennis Russell Davies. [...] the discs other real draw is whats billed here as Seven Songs, a selection of childrens chorusses from Bartóks 1935 collection of Two- and Three-Part chorusses, sounding wonderfully fresh.
John Allison, BBC Music Magazine
This might at first glance seem a bit random as far as programming goes, but when you read about the influence Bartók had on Lutoslawski and about the unique dedication, A la mèmoire de Béla Bartók, the only one Lutoslawski gave in any of his works to another composer, then everything begins to slot into place.
Superbly performed and recorded on this CD, Lutoslawskis Musique Funèbre builds in counterpoint and concentration with startling clarity and needle-sharp accuracy under Dennis Russell Davies directorship. [...] With chilling desolation on every page this is a performance to thrill the soul.
Dominy Clements, Music Web International
Heinz Holliger's Bach-recording
Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis
delights the reviewer from Scotland On Sunday
This recording focusses on recovered Bach, and can only be desribed as mellifluous throughout: Heinz Holligers technique on the oboe and oboedamore is thoroughly assured, allowing the listener to melt entirely into its well-balanced mix of concertos and sinfonias. Bachs music might not normally be thought of as summer fare, but this is definitely a CD that deserves an afternoons open-air listening, assuming the weather holds.
Alexander Bryce, Scotland On Sunday
Arianna Savall and Petter Udland Johansen charm reviewers with their music on
Hirundo Maris
With her pure, piercing and intimately expressive vocal tone, Arianna Savall movingly channels her late mother, the dedicatee of the new album Hirundo Maris, a collaboration with the Norwegian singer and Hardanger fiddle player Petter Udland Johansen. Catalan folksongs, ballads from Norway, Scotland and the Sephardim (the Jews of Old Spain) and a couple of originals Hirundo Maris may depart in letter form the early repertoire, but its evocative the old is new again quality represents the spirit of early music at its best.
John Montanari, New England Public Radio
You get a rather marvellous collection of songs, beautifully performed. Aside from the originals there are traditional Sephardic songs, Catalan songs, Norwegian folk, the Scottish song the Water is Wide and others, all done in more or less early music troubadour style with a small string ensemble conceived in traditional yet also innovative ways. [...] Its very lovely music, timeless and timely, performed with style and feeling. Ariannas voice is quite terrific and Petter has a pleasing voice as well. They blend together in harmony or strike off on their own from song to song for plenty of contrast. A beautiful album that I recommend highly.
Grego Applegate Edwards, Classical modernmusic.blogspot.com
Estonian vocal ensemble Vox Clamantis receives praise from New England for their album
Filia Sion
Vox Clamantis probably breaks some of the rules about Medieval music, to the extent anyone has any idea how it actually would have sounded. By combining male and female voices, by pitting soloists against choir, and even by using contemporary and non-standard vocal techniques ( I swear I hear overtone singing behind Hildegards O ignis spiritus), Vox Clamantiss imagination and musicality make for an absorbing and inspiring musical encounter.
John Montanari, New England Public Radio
Alexei Lubimov's interpretation of Claude Debussy's
thrills the reviewer from NPR
Theoretically, the hook of this release is the fact that Lubimov used early 20th-century pianos in this recording. [...] But what about the actual performances? Thats where the real magic is. Both the solo and duet works are fresh and finely wrought. Lubimov brings great clarity to the Préludes; there are no soapy washes of sound here, even in the most ruminative and dreamy portions, like La fille aux cheveux de lin or Canope. Every dynamic marking is finely rendered, from the softest pianos to the most clangorous fortes, and Lubimov handles Debussys changes of mood and temper just as skilfully. [...] An excellent record and very highly recommended.
Anastasia Tsioulcas, NPR.org
The Seattle Post Intelligencer on Heiner Goebbels'
Stifters Dinge
Stifters Dinge is a recording of a forward looking artist, who conversely often looks to the past for inspiration. Although I know I am shouting into the wind, I honestly believe that this record could (should) find an audience outside of the artistic or intellectual crowd who are undoubtedly the market. The music has an appeal to me that is almost universal. Take a chance on this album. It may sound arty, but I think more than anything else, Heiner Goebbels is having a huge amount of fun here. And for me, that is what it comes all down to in the end.
Greg Barbrick, Seattle Post Intelligencer
British magazine Jazz Journal on Terje Rypdal's box-set
Odyssey - In Studio & In Concert
While it is good to have all of Odyssey available again a previous single CD reissue omitted Stone the real news here is is the first-time release of the Unifinished Highballs suite. Here the Odyssey band, minus Sunde, is joined by the 15-strong Swedish Radio Jazz Group in an extraordinary 1976 performance of what must rate as one of Rypdals most most expansive or inclusive and successful works.

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's Physical Activity and Nutrition Program needed to come up with an innovative solution to the many health problems, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease that plagued residents of poorer areas in the city, while increasing economic opportunity for neighborhood residents. The result was the launching of Green Carts, a new mobile food vending initiative to support the introduction of healthier food options to residents of "food deserts" in New York City boroughs. The challenge was navigating the diverse landscape of players and engaging all of the relevant stakeholders to come up with a solution that was both feasible and sustainable. This case exemplifies the how partnership and strategic alliances can be used to have significant social impact. The beauty of this example is that it simultaneously addresses two large social issues: 1) access to healthy food options in urban food deserts and 2) creating self-employment opportunities for members of disadvantaged communities. This case also illustrates how the public sector can act as social innovators.
learning objective:
Evaluate a complex real-world example of the types of partnership that must be formed in order to achieve scalable social impact. Use the ecosystem analysis framework provided in class to analyze the potential stakeholder groups and make recommendations about the types of partnership that should be put in place in order to maximize the effectiveness of the program.
subjects covered:
Environmental sustainability; Health; Health care policy; Nonprofit organizations; Social entrepreneurship; Social issues; Strategic alliances

A Tedenby-Josefson-Butler line would look amazing. Maybe I'm giving him too much credit here, but I think Josefson's at the level now that he can make a guy like Tedenby or Butler better around him. Curious to see what kind of year he has!!
Like many others have said this will prob be make or break year for Tedenby. However I honestly do not see him making it.

Greenwood, S.C., volunteers receive NWTF national award for youth event
Photos and interviews for media available upon request through Josh Fleming.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. —Volunteers from the NWTF's Neil "Gobbler" Cost Chapter received national acclaim for their role in nurturing youth interest and education about the outdoors and an active lifestyle through the NWTF's JAKES outreach program.
The Greenwood, S.C.-based chapter was honored with the 2011 JAKES Best Event Award for chapters with 76-150 members Feb. 10 at the NWTF's National Convention and Sport Show at Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, Tenn.
The award was presented at the NWTF's Federal Breakfast, bearing the theme: "Champions of Outreach." More than 1,000 JAKES events were held throughout the nation by NWTF volunteers.
Volunteers from the Neil "Gobbler" Cost Chapter hosted the winning event at the nature trail at Fujifilm's North American manufacturing headquarters in Greenwood. Youth shot air guns, practiced archery, planted food plots and learned about archeology at hands-on learning stations.
The NWTF's JAKES (Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Sportsmanship) program teaches the principles of wildlife management and the traditions of safe, ethical and responsible hunting for youth up to age 12.
At JAKES events, youth learn about the outdoors, participating in activities such as hunting and fishing while learning about wildlife and the importance of conservation.
"The Neil "Gobbler" Cost Chapter provided a shining example of how JAKES events teach our youth about the outdoors and conservation in a fun-filled, safe environment," JAKES program coordinator Mandy Harling said.
The NWTF's Xtreme JAKES program provides advanced outdoor opportunities and challenges for ages 13-17. More than 75,000 youth attended JAKES and Xtreme JAKES events in 2011. Any local chapter that holds a JAKES event can apply for 10 highly competitive JAKES national awards.
Founded in 1973, the NWTF is dedicated to the conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage.
Through dynamic partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF and its members have achieved a great success in restoring wild turkey populations throughout the United States, spending more than $372 million to conserve 17 million acres of habitat for all types of wildlife.

Lift Well, Play Hard
Specificity of training, the concept that exercises should be based on the physiological demands encountered during the performance of a sport, is one of the most misunderstood items in exercise science. Some strength coaches advocate using sports-specific exercises in the weight room that mimic the movement used in your sport. The theory seems sound: By copying such movements, you will help develop strength in that particular movement. While that seems like a logical line of reasoning, many experts think that it may in fact be counterproductive.
Specificity of training is a well-accepted physiological theory that suggests that adaptations made during training depend on the type of training used. For instance, if you want to become a faster runner, the most appropriate way to accomplish this is by running, not by walking in the park and not by riding a bike.
Can You Be More Specific?
Specificity is much like pregnancy it either is or it isn't. For example, specific training for a basketball player could be practicing his jump shot, not shooting a weighted medicine ball. In fact, by attempting to mimic a precise sports movement such as swinging a baseball bat or golf club, you can undo countless hours of skill training. You see, the neuromuscular pathways that allow your brain to tell your muscles exactly what to do and how to do it take countless hours of practice. In turn, the use of added resistance (for example, the medicine ball) when copying such movements can disturb that motor memory.
Princeton University's Matt Brzycki, author of A Practical Approach to Strength Training, (McGraw Hill) is one of the most outspoken strength critics of copying sports movements in the weight room. Says Mr. Brzycki, "Strength training should not be done in a manner that mimics or apes a particular movement pattern. A stronger muscle can produce more force; if you can produce more force, you'll require less effort and be able to perform the skill more quickly, more accurately, and more efficiently. But again, that is provided that you've practiced enough in a correct manner so that you'll be more skillful in applying that force."
Just as we don't advocate different training techniques in the weight room for men and women or the young and the old, there's no reason to train athletes from different sports using different techniques. Good weight room form for a cyclist is good weight room form for a tennis player. What should, and will, vary is the selection of exercises because the muscles that are used will differ from sport to sport. That's where we'll customize the programs. For example, a kayaker will do more upper body work than a runner, but the upper body work that they perform they'll do exactly the same.
A few years ago, Jonathan attended a seminar held by John Philbin, an assistant strength and conditioning coach with the NFL Washington Redskins. What surprised many in attendance was that while the Redskins vary their exercises from position to position (no sense in worrying about the throwing arm of the free safety), the form used is exactly the same for any and all of the athletes. Typically, a lithe cornerback can bench press far less than a burly linebacker, but the exercise is executed exactly the same way.
While improved performance is an obvious reason for an athlete weekend warrior or professional to hit the weight room, it may not be the most important one. In fact, injury prevention is probably the biggest benefit from a solid off-season training regimen. After all, it doesn't matter how talented you are if you're on the sidelines nursing an injury. Barry Chait, former assistant strength and conditioning coach with the NFL New York Jets, stresses that, "Though we obviously try everything possible to make the players bigger, faster, and stronger, our primary goal is to ensure they make it through the game in one piece. That means never taking any chances in the weight room, and it means working on less glamorous muscles like those in the neck."
Years ago, many athletes used to resist weight lifting for fear of becoming muscle-bound. (One can only imagine how many more homers Mickey Mantle would have hit had he touched a weight during his career. Even if he didn't hit any more dingers, he would have hit them much farther, and he may have avoided the debilitating leg injuries that curtailed his career.) Now that the muscle-bound myth has gone the way of the eight-track tape, many athletes still shy away from the weight room fearing that they'll lose valuable training time that would be better spent practicing their sport.
Certainly we agree that all the strength in the world can't make up for the lack of a sport-specific skill; however, there's no reason to choose between the two. By now, we hope we've convinced you that a sensible lifting program doesn't need to take more than 30 to 45 minutes per gym visit.
Because very few athletes compete year-round Steffi Graf, where have you gone? there's no reason to have the same program in-season as you do out of season.
Here's how it works. In the off-season your primary goal is to get as strong as possible. During the season, however, you should aim to maintain your strength. If you try to keep up the same schedule while you compete as you did in the off-season, you're begging for overtraining injuries. Of course, if you lay off your lifting completely, you'll quickly undo all the good you've done. Aim for two or three lifting sessions per week in the off-season and once a week for maintenance in-season. Try to keep your in-season workout on a different day than a hard sports workout, and at least a few days away from a race.

can someone please fire the AMD PR department?
this driver politic is just a PR "disaster"
Phoronix: An AMD Legacy Driver With X Server 1.12 Support
Fear not for all of those who have been very angry over AMD dropping the Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 support in the same release as providing X.Org Server 1.12 support, word on the streets of Toronto is that their legacy driver branch does have support for this latest xorg-server release...
can someone please fire the AMD PR department?
this driver politic is just a PR "disaster"
Michael Larabel
and THIS is a PR disaster!
also why not tell the people something like this: there will be a latency driver update until the opensource driver radeon get some power managment fixes.
then the people can use the catalyst and after the radeon driver gets usable on notebooks with power management they can switch to the radeon driver.
the radeon driver is so close to be a good replacement for the catalyst on hd2000-hd4000 hardware but i can not unterstand why amd don't invest the money to get the last bits done to make it usefull also for notebooks.

Children's Museum explains how it went "green"
Thursday, January 17, 2013
DOVER — Representatives of the multiaward winning Children's Museum of New Hampshire spoke to the New Hampshire Chapter of the National U.S. Green Building Council on recently about how they progressed to become the first LEED certified museum in the state.
Museum visitors spend an additional $400,000 just within the community on gas, food, convenience stores and gifts downtown, according to Roberts.
Their LEED certification also comes from the smart building materials they used which helps the museum save tens of thousands of dollars.
Some of their savings come from the added natural light to the building, the cistern used for rain water collection, on-site storm water management, original floors, low-flow faucets and toilets, HVAC equipment with energy recovery and high-performance windows complete with enhanced building insulation.
The museum has seen enormous savings because of their building design decisions and their desire to reuse. Roberts said the museum costs about $48 per square foot while comparable museum's are anywhere from $300 to $500 per square foot.
"We have a responsibility to the community to save where we can and invest in things that are sustainable," Roberts said on being a tenant of a city-owned building.
The museum, which turns 30 this year, has also been innovative in their creation of exhibits and classes. They are the first museum in the state to launch a public Earth Day celebration, attracting over 800 families to Dover each year. The museum also has their own garden and offers cooking classes.

Hi, all
I had met some troubles on showing argb data in a surface control in a "Windows Phone xaml and directx" project, could anyone help me , thanks!
I found a similar question on MSDN forum http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...5-4e40e8380841
Hi, all
I had met some troubles on showing argb data in a surface control in a "Windows Phone xaml and directx" project, could anyone help me , thanks!
I found a similar question on MSDN forum http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...5-4e40e8380841
So what's the actual issue? Do you have a sample project which reproduces the problem?
Here are the sample project:
I just want to show this girl(a.jpg) on the drawsurface control. but as you know, WIC(Windows Imaging Component) is not supported in Windows Phone, I could not user the CreateTetureFromFile API to create the Texture.
So I changed my mind, try to like this:
1. pass the argb data(WriteableBittmap.Pixels) to the d3d compontent
2. create the texture according to the argb data
3. fill the backbuffer with the texture
4. renderring the buffer and present the buffer with swapchain
but unfortunately, I have no diea on implementing all the above in d3d yet.
Last edited by small2; 2013-03-28 at 03:34.
Could anyone help me?
You want load a jpg file as texture?
well , a simple work flow would like this:
Image Data(int array,C#)------pass data----->D3D(C++,Rendering)-----show----->DrawsurfaceControl(C#,XAML)
exactly speaking, I just want to show the image on the DrawingSurface control, and the content provider of the DrawingSurface control would be a d3d object, just like the cuberender object in the "PhoneXamlDirect3DApp1Comp" project
I don't understand WP8 directx haven't method to load jpeg/png file.
I make an example where i read an image with Bitmap, and get pixel buffer with a WritableBitmap.
So i give pixel buffer and image size to direct3D throw a c++method named CreateTexture which create an ID3D11Texture2D with image data.
Example display a textured cube.
Warning : WritableBitmap pixel are premultiplied_ARGB, so if your image have alpha you need convert each pixel to ARGB.
Ps: i don't know it xaml ui thread is the same as Dx rendering thread. Maybe you need to protect concurrent access.

if you have question about code, do not hesitate to ask
I've write a wiki article with this solution : http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...with_a_picture
If you are interested, i've add conversion between premultiplied_ARGB and ARGB.
When I debug the d3d compontent, the out put window print a bunch of warning s like this:
D3D11 WARNING: ID3D11DeviceContext:rawIndexed: The Pixel Shader unit expects a Sampler to be set at Slot 0, but none is bound. This is perfectly valid, as a NULL Sampler maps to default Sampler state. However, the developer may not want to rely on the defaults. [ EXECUTION WARNING #352: DEVICE_DRAW_SAMPLER_NOT_SET]
After googled, I found a simlar queation: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...-vertex-buffer , but unfortunately, that did not go for me.
As your guidence, I mopdified the cubicrender class for rendering a rectangle (just drawing two trangles, as your code, four vertices, and the render index just like "0,2,1,0,3,2 "), and fill the rectangle with the picture, set the rotated matrix's value to zero. change the camera location like this:
XMVECTOR eye = XMVectorSet(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
XMVECTOR at = XMVectorSet(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
XMVECTOR up = XMVectorSet(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
and modify the texture cordinate to make the texture fill the screen. to make the texture shows as original size , set aspectRatio to 1.0f before creating the matrix on CubeRenderer::CreateWindowSizeDependentResources() method.
I also make a demo that pass the camera feed in a thread (the argb frame by calling the PhoneCaptureDevice.GetPreviewBuffer()) to replace the picture data. But unexpected things happened, the presented camera data on the Drawingsurface conntrol was not showing smoothly at all. And I also could not click the buttob over the Drawingsurface control, the applicatipon crashes soon later.
P.S: Due to the confidentiality agreement, I can't show you the project. but the demo would likes a simple one for you in just a few steps:
1. Initial a PhoneCaptureDevice asyncnously.
2. After the device loaded, start a thread to pass the camera feed to the d3d compontent. Do not remember modify the WMAppManifest file to add the camera capacity.
looking forward your replying. Thanks very much!
I do very similar thinks in my futur application (an update of MonsterCam)
For the warning, i've read that it's not a real warning.
std::mutex + std::lock_guard to protect C# call with the rendering function.
Other help:
1- if you'll use navigation, code will crash. It's a bug on Microsoft example. To resolve it, look here : http://www.tonicodes.net/blog/wp8-xa...ng-navigation/
2- If you want make offscreen rendering, i can explain how
i've add camera support. in state of thread, i use PreviewFrameAvailable event. It's works for me.

Acturally it was with my company worked for.If it's with Nokia, maybe we have same confidentiality agreement.
Thanks for the tips, I'll check it later.I thinks you must protect concurrent acces. In my app, i'v add std::mutex + std::lock_guard to protect C# call with the rendering function.
That couldn ' t be better。2- If you want make offscreen rendering, i can explain how
Well ,dose it could render smoothly, just like the viewfinder of the native camera app?i've add camera support. in state of thread, i use PreviewFrameAvailable event. It's works for me.

Scalability of scatter charts
Scalability of scatter charts
I am experiencing scalability issues with the GXT3.0 scatter charts. I am implementing an application that requires plotting of several thousand points. It appears everything works fine up to about 500 points, and then the points no longer appear correctly. In addition, when one goes beyond 300 to 500 points, the selectionevents and mouseoverevents return the wrong index to the ListStore. Just wondering if anyone had encountered this issue or if it is likely I am doing something wrong. Thanks.
24 May 2012 4:42 PM #2
Thanks for the report. This has been fixed in SVN and will be in the next release. ScatterSeries was erroneously using LineSeries shrink method when calculating its points. LineSeries uses shrink when trying to display more points than there are pixels wide.
15 Aug 2012 1:31 PM #3
GXT 3.0.1 has been released and contains this fix.
Success! Looks like we've fixed this one. According to our records the fix was applied for a bug in our system in a recent build.

Get Shorty!
So, what is a lengthy-limbed gal to do? Get Shorty, of course! And with this season's plethora of printed shorts, I am lamenting my long legs no more! From Tar-jay boutique (Target for you non "French" speakers) to shopbop.com, the options for chic short-shorts are endless.
Here are some of my top picks:
LaRok's Diwali Shorts: I don't know if it's the intricate embroidery or the itsy-bitsy inseam, but I am completely OBSESSED with these shorts. They are Morocco in fabric form, ready to transport the wearer to a locale far more exotic than the USofA. Put 'em with a plain white tank and frills-free flip-flops because these are some show-stopping shorts!
Walter's Multi-Print Silk Short: With its intricate watercolor design, these beautiful bloomers are anything but casual. They are equally suited for a lunch with gal pals or a dinner date with Mr. Hottie. I daydream about them paired with a button down in basic black or a top with a pop of color.
sass&bide's "A Girl Like Me" Shorts: As the name suggests, it takes a certain kind of gal to rock this sequined style. Therefore, the shy need not apply. With a hodgepodge color palette of white and metallics, these shorts can be matched with nearly anything for a funky downtown style. These "sass"-y shorts are the perfect uniform for a night of shakin' that groove thang.
See by Chloe Jersey Striped Shorts: Anyone else totally over loungewear that screams "I'm a frickin' awesome middle schooler! Like what's up?" Ya know what I'm talking about- cheeky messages across the Rear End, glitter up one side and enough prints for a 3-ring circus act. Well, this See by Chloe pair is sophisticated sportswear. The white and navy stripes are subtly nautical, but very obviously summery. And the loose silhouette creates the allusion of a flouncy skirt so the look is polished and chic. Orange accents provide a fresher pop of color than the traditional red.
What better way to accessorize these short styles than with tarte's leg bronzer Glam Gams? It provides a pinch of shimmer, a delectable scent, but most importantly the perfect amount of faux-sun. So grab your shorts, "Glam" your gams and say "Hello, sunshine!"

I got this book to preview for a book club at my church. So many women need to hear this message. They forget God created them for a purpose and it wasn't to be a doormat!
This is a great book to have for confidence in yourself and to help your friends. Thanks for putting this book out for everyone.
I have been so blessed by this book. God has used in my my heart to see who I really am in him. There are times that I just lay the book down and have a private prayer time with God.
This book has been such a blessing to my life. I buy copies and share it as often as I can. God has spoken to me on every page. Thank you, Holley for being a transparent vessel in God's hands. You'll never know how many souls your witness helps.
I love all of Holley Gerth's books and writings but this book is my new favorite! Thank you, Holley, for your way with words that makes me see myself not through the eyes of the world but through the eyes of my Lord.

14. Mourning
But Wild Men were already swarming around the elf, grabbing at his clothes, his bow, his hair, his ears. The other elves rushed forward to protect their fallen comrade. Second One's voice, which sounded alien and suddenly mortal, like a wound rubbed raw, cried out to Boromir: "Let them not defile the corpse! Help us!"
At this, Boromir turned, sprinted towards them with sword drawn. He cut through the first Wild Men who were pulling at First One's arms. The ground before them was littered with corpses in an unending carpet. The bodies grabbed at him, stifled his progress, wrapped around his boots.
Further north, Radagast was nearing them as well. He galloped towards the center of the storm, staff held high. Boromir sliced through another Wild Man's arm, which was halfway through cutting away First One's hair, and whirled around in time to dive from Radagast's steed. Fæstefot reared up, neighing loudly. The horse kicked away the clawing Easterlings, giving the elves and Boromir enough time to hoist First One up and load him onto the saddle.
"Take him away, Radagast," Third One said, tears already cutting pale lines on his dirt-covered cheeks. "Bear him to safety. We will return shortly."
"Be not long," Radagast said. "There are few left to fight."
Boromir turned again, back to the gore, and scanned the scene. An Easterling was lunging forward at them, sword falling, and Boromir, more in reflex than in thought, thrust his own blade deep into the Man's stomach. When he pushed away the Easterling, he saw there were less than ten Wild Men left. He heard Radagast's horse galloping away, the beating of its hooves disappearing down the plain as it bore away the limp elf. And in that moment, the realization of First One's death slammed against Boromir, knocking him back, so that he staggered, tripped on someone's limb, breathless and dizzied.
…an echo: Here fell Golradir, brave elf of Mirkwood…
A rage arose in Boromir, a desire to see only blood, his own and his enemy's, drenching the grass and the dirt. He screamed. His voice magnified by the wind, it covered the land. The remaining Wild Men hesitated in their attack. But Boromir would not let them flee. Ignoring the elves by his side, who were already retreating back into the trees, he charged forward. Howls and swords clanging, violence and death and red everywhere. Boromir cared not for any wound he received. He did not stall his attack when an Easterling dug a blade into his calf. He felt only an uncontrollable fury. All other noise, movement, pleas and cries were drowned out in his own dizzying energy. His muscles screamed to stop as they raised the sword another time, for another blow against an already-cracked skull, another stab into an already-pierced chest. The elves were calling to him, beckoning him back, and the Wild Men were fleeing or begging mercy at his blade. But he heard nothing, saw nothing.
It was only when Second One grabbed him by the shoulder, pulled him back, and he nearly stabbed the elf as well, did the foul trance break. The rush of pain flooded him, and he swooned. Second One bore him upright, helped him limp away from the battle. The elf was whispering to him, speaking calm words in his ear, soothing the violence in him. There was no one left. The field was empty of life. It remained now only a fresh cemetery. Come, we must go. There is no one to fight. Come, Boromir. Back to peace. They are all dead.
Back to peace, Boromir. Back to peace.
There is nothing you can do now.
It is finished.
Come back to yourself.
Back to peace.
And with a full-body sigh, Boromir allowed himself to be supported, pulled away from the battle and towards the stillness of the woods. Second One held his shoulders, kept him upright and moving, for surely had he let go the Man would have fallen and stayed in that spot forever.
Upon reaching the woods, they found Radagast, who had laid First One in a glade by a stream. Second One and Third One, both weeping, ran forward to their brother. They knelt beside him, brushed the hair from his face, dipped cloth in the stream and cleaned his wounds. They wept and cried and buried their faces in his chest, pleading and begging with him. Come back, brother! Let it not end here, like this! Come back! Why do you forsake us so soon? Why, brother? Where do you wander now? You have left us! They moaned and cried, and still, again. Boromir remained standing away from the others. His bloodied sword hung limp at his side, he had not the strength to sheathe it. Radagast stood by the horse with his head bowed.
With mute agreement, it was decided that they should bury him there, in the peace of the glade. They made a mound of earth and placed him in it, laying his bow beside him and the swords of his fallen enemies at his feet. The elves wept as they bade him goodbye, wept as they covered the mound with earth and the few flowers they could find, wept as they sang a lament for him. The sun disappeared and still they wept. Boromir did not, and while he helped them with the work, he remained silent and offered no consolation. He stood, his body and clothes soaked in brown-red-black-green, and watched dully. When the work was done, the lament finished, and First One gone from sight forever, the group of four, exhausted, continued into the woods to find a place to rest. Fæstefot left them, trotting off into the woods with promise to return.
They followed the stream until they reached a suitable site. The elves, now and then with tears falling afresh from their eyes, sat down on the damp ground and made no other move. Boromir dropped his sword and sat on a boulder by the water. Radagast, who seemed the only one with enough presence of mind to make camp, began making a fire.
No one spoke, but who can speak in times like these?
Upon finishing the fire, and after collecting water and placing it to boil, Radagast moved to the elves. He gave them bandages and miruvor, and they silently accepted, binding their own wounds with reddened eyes and hoarse throats. The wizard then moved to Boromir, who sat rigid on the stone, and offered him the gauze and drink as well. Boromir broke his stare, but reluctantly. He looked up at the wizard. The firelight illuminated the side of Radagast's face, making him look familiar and kind. He looked like Gandalf.
"You are wounded, Boromir," the wizard said softly.
Boromir searched his body. He felt little, and saw only red glistening against his hands and garments. Here and there his clothes were torn, and there was blood beneath the rips as well, on the skin, seeping in or oozing out. He formed no response. The wizard placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Go," he said, his voice like sand scratching against warm stone. "There is the stream. You must wash, for you are covered in the filth of battle. Go, bind your wounds. You bleed."
Radagast helped Boromir to stand, who obeyed and accepted the wizard's help with a weary gasp-sigh. The wizard then motioned Boromir to the stream, which trickled silently over the clean pebbles and earth at their feet. Beside the fire, the elves had fallen asleep against the bare ground with bedrolls and miruvor forgotten by their side. Radagast sighed in sympathy, and made no move to wake them. He handed Boromir the gauze and watched as the Man limped down to the stream, walking in the direction of the current, away from the light of camp.
Boromir continued until he found a shallow bank where the water passed like a sheen over the flat stone beneath. He dropped the bandages on the dry ground and, for a moment, stood with vacant expression, his stance lopsided as he favored the uninjured leg. The scene that had been but a flash during the fight now repeated itself like a drone in his mind. He heard again and again the ripping, tearing, thrusting of the Easterling's sword into First One. He saw again the dual glimpses - first, of the elf falling, face pale, blood spilling from his lips; second, the elf fallen, lying dead on his back while Wild Men moved forward to steal away the corpse. Again. Ripping, tearing, thrusting, falling, fallen, and lying dead.
He did not realize it, but he had sat down in his daze. He now looked over the stream, watching the moonlight glint against the water. He peered up through the trees and, here and there hid from the leaves, a marvel of stars peppered the black sky. A wind passed through. The branches bent and swayed with it. The stars danced with movement, fell still, wobbled. Silence, rest.
Back to peace, Boromir.
Boromir placed his face in his soiled hands and wept. After the last cries were spent and tears matted his face and beard, he remained still for some time, smelling the grime on his palms. He saw the nails broken in the moonlight, some blackened, some red with fresh blood seeping out. He wept again, bitterly and with heaving sobs, this time without tears for they would not come anymore. Again, the elf's death replayed itself. And with each repetition, the weight of grief fell a little further, pressing a little more against Boromir's chest.
Back to peace.
Forcing some sense into his bewildered and exhausted mind, Boromir leaned over and grabbed the gauze. The cut in his leg was deep, it needed stitching. He carefully pulled off his boot, emptied the blood and mud from its insides onto the grass and rolled up his breeches. Without washing the wound, he wrapped it in bandages. And when the white cloth reached his shin on the final turn, he pinned it unevenly and rolled down the breeches, pulled on his boot and forced himself to his feet.
He washed his hands and face in the icy water of the stream. It cleared the fog from his mind, but it did not ease the weight from his heart. He gave another sob, but choked away any that followed. When sure that he would weep no more, he limped back upstream to the camp.
The elves still slept, and Radagast was smoking his pipe. As Boromir approached, the wizard cast him a questioning glance. Boromir took a seat on the stone beside him and warmed his chilled hands over the fire. Again, dancing in the flames, the drone: ripping, tearing, thrusting, falling, fallen, and lying dead. First One's soft groan as the life passed from his lips.
"They have earned their honor," Radagast mused, his dark eyes straying to the sleeping elves. "Perhaps e'en surpassed what was needed to return. I judge there is no more exile for them."
Boromir nodded slowly, letting the fire now singe the calluses on his hands.
"No, no, but they will not return now, not so soon," Radagast continued. "They will not abandon you. For you have awakened in them something which long slept. The desire to defend the lands they love. To see that Mordor's power is finished. This is well, for the time is ripe, and I feel our aid, however tiny, may yet play a role in the greater things to come. Ours is a noble effort."
Radagast paused, took a puff of his pipe.
"And you too, son of Denethor, have regained your worth. Will you return to Minas Tirith, ere this is all done?"
Boromir pulled his hands away from the fire. They were shaking.
"I wish it," he spoke hoarsely. "But I cannot; it is only a dream. Mayhap in death I will return."
"Nay, do not depend on an Easterling's sword to ease your homecoming," Radagast said, eyebrows bristling. "It is clear to all that you have elaborated a suicide plan. The elves say nothing to you, but they hope to live through this. And they hope you live through this as well, for I gather they have come to like you. They follow you in order to fulfill a pledge long kept undone, but not to die, son of Denethor, not to die."
Silence. The fire crackled.
"First One did not think today would be his last," Boromir murmured.
"Ah…" Radagast breathed, leaning back. "That is true, our friend would have enjoyed a few more breaths. But he fulfilled his destiny, and that was to die on the fields of Dagorlad as his father did, fighting the Enemy. He did not pass in vain, but rather as he should have years ago during the Second Age. Do not over-grieve."
He looked to Boromir and his dark eyes pierced the distance between them like a blade. At once, Boromir felt exposed.
"You see him in your mind, dying and dying again? You see the echo from hours past?" Radagast sighed. "Nay, let him be, my friend. Let him rest in peace. Do not remember him thus, in his last moments, else you will bury yourself with him. And that is exhausting. Remember instead the happier times, the days of mirth."
Boromir made a sound between a scoff and a sob. "His body is still warm and you bid me be mirthful?"
Radagast paused, opened his mouth as if to speak, reconsidered, shook his head. "You are right. I am not well trained in the ways of Men and elves and dwarves. Ask me to console the birds, the lizards, the foxes and snails, and I can! But Men are a different matter altogether. A very complicated race indeed. I am sorry. Pay no heed to these consolations, for they come too soon."
Radagast smiled sadly and took another puff. The even breathing of Second and Third One filled the camp, along with the fire snapping and Radagast's pipe smoking. Boromir clenched and unclenched his hands, hoping to ease the tremor which shook through them. He did not notice its beginning, but eventually saw that his hands were full of it. Wavering, trembling, like dry leaves on a branch, like an image in smoke. Embarrassed, he hid the unwanted movement by clasping his fingers together, curling them into fists, or picking at the dirt on his cloak.
"Come, that is a sign of weariness," Radagast said, indicating Boromir's shaking hands.
The tremor worsened.
"Get you to sleep. I will take the first watch."
Boromir offered no protest, for his body and mind all shook with the desire for rest. He stood, feeling his injured leg now stiff, walked several paces to a clear patch and fell onto the ground, intending to sleep on the grass as the elves did, with no bedroll and no blanket. He let his head fall, and immediately was asleep. Only then did the trembling fade.
When Second One awoke, his face felt stiff with dirt and dried tears. His muscles ached with the dull throb that comes with sleeping, exhausted, in the same position for hours. But the elf knew immediately that he had slept little. He looked to his side: a few feet away lay Third One, on his back, his face smoothed in empty dreams. Good, he needs it. Second One's eyes traveled further up, to another patch of ground, where Boromir slept, stomach down, still filthy from battle. The Man's back rose and fell quickly, indicating shallow breaths and light, troubled rest.
Radagast was sitting by the fire, his pipe spent, his eyelids drooping. Second One stood, stretched his arms and legs, rubbed his face with his hands. The wizard snorted at the sounds and sat up straight.
"Come then, Radagast, I will take the second watch."
Radagast nodded, stood. He took Second One by the shoulder, looked at him pointedly, did not speak. Second One looked away.
"I am well enough, good wizard," Second One whispered. "We elves are not accustomed to death as the mortal Men are, and the grief… weighs on my heart so that it might crush it. But I am well enough."
"Nay, death is difficult for all," he glanced at Boromir, "even for those who are doomed to it."
The wizard gave Second One a few pats on the shoulder and then moved to his bedroll. As Radagast prepared his makeshift bed, Second One walked to the edge of their campsite, to where the firelight dissolved into shadow. He peered out into the darkness. All dark, all empty. No, but there were his friends, sleeping yonder. And realms of good people. Mayhap even a home for him. Then why did Middle-earth seem barren of life? Why did his friends feel like empty shells now, good only for grieving? With First One gone…
Second One sat, facing the dark wood which surrounded their tiny globe of light. First One was gone, forever. His brother-in-exile. And all that was First One disappeared – the laughter, the arrogance, the natural leadership. Never more would there be days of walking, with First One's blond head gliding in front of him, and Third One's singing behind him. Never more would he play mediator to First and Third One's bickering. All that was finished. Now only two remained. Only two.
For a moment of despair, Second One wondered if he should ever feel joy again. Was it even possible, after such sights and such loss? He looked to Third One. Young Third One – ever compassionate, ever the soft spirit and good soul. How would he fare, now that he had seen the ultimate end, now that he had breathed death on his brother and buried him?
And there, further off: what of Boromir? One so naturally grim would surely have encountered death before. Second One imagined mayhap the Man could advise him in his grief, tell him how one can cope with the loss. Second One sat, considering. Yes, Boromir would know what to do. He could offer true consolation, something to ease the pain, something to lighten the weight. Were there not methods developed by Men to understand death and accept it?
He considered waking Boromir, nearly stood, but quickly sank down again. Nay, let him rest. He needs it as we all do. Tomorrow – the grey, blank, empty tomorrow – there would be time to speak with him and seek his counsel. For now, let them all lie in peace.
Time passed. The moon waned, the stars danced. Arda was still beautiful.
After a few hours, Second One stood, walked to the fire. He placed stray tinder in it so as to awaken the flame. It was a quiet night.
Second One sighed, moved back to his spot on the edge of the firelight. Where are you now, brother? Where do you wander? Exiled even in death? Nay… nay… they will accept you in whatever lies there, I know this. After all the fighting has finished, I will go to Mirkwood, I will speak to King Thranduil, and all our shame shall be abolished. You fought well today. You defended the free folk of Middle-earth with courage and skill. An honorable elf. I miss you.
It was in those moments of silent musings that Second One heard it. His elf-ears pricked up, his attention focused. Again, there, the sound: soft tread, very soft, skillfully quiet. Not very far, perhaps three hundred paces from the camp. Moving slowly, cautiously. Step, step, step. Second One stood slowly, opened his mind to the world of sound around him. He allowed each rustle or sigh of wind to pass through his mind and be examined. But there was no doubt: there was a creature lurking in the shadows, coming slowly closer.
His heart began beating fast and loud. Second One moved back to his pack, slowly, slowly, picked up his bow and arrow – all the while tracking the near-silent movement of the lurker. He followed that sound now to a suitable position, it was coming from the southeast, from the stream. For one blazing-hot moment of fury, Second One thought: Would that this lurker respected the grave, if he passed it, else he shall have an arrow through the throat. But no, there had been enough death, and Second One was sick of it. He prayed that the grave had remained untouched. He prayed that he could control himself.
There it was again. The movement, very close now, close enough to be seen. Second One pried the darkness with his eyes, forcing his elven vision through the shadow. This creature was a Man, and Second One immediately understood: the Easterlings had sent scouts, assassins even. They were not so ill organized after all. He saw the shadow now – by the stream, near a shallow bank. It was an Easterling, yes. Creeping along the grass, his booted tread light, crouched down as if to study the footprints on the ground.
Second One drew his arrow, slowly, slowly. He pulled back the bow, arching it, letting the wood creak with strain. He aimed: the left leg, below the knee. Inhale, exhale, release. Release.
There was a cry, distant and muffled. Second One turned to check on his sleeping companions: Third One had awoken from the sound, but Boromir and Radagast still slept. Second One beckoned for Third One to join him and together they hurried down the stream, moving like silent shadows.
The Wild Man was on his back, clutching his knee which now bled openly. The arrow stuck from it at an odd angle. Upon seeing the two elves approach, he spat at them and began crawling away.
"Aftra galeithan, ubil-tojers!"
Second One glanced at Third One and together, they hoisted the Man up onto his feet and dragged him back to camp. He fought with them the entire time, jerking back and kicking forward. The wound in his knee did little to dampen his strength, and the elves had difficulty in keeping control of him. When they arrived at the camp, the grunts, roars and occasional curses awoke both Boromir and Radagast.
Boromir pushed himself to his feet, eyes swollen from sleep. He immediately grabbed his fallen sword and moved forward. The elves pushed the Wild Man against a tree, pinning him. He resisted, fought, spat on them, bit them, did anything against being kept still.
"Who is this devil?" Boromir roared. He joined the elves and pushed the blade of his sword against the Wild Man's neck. The Wild Man fell still.
Heavy breathing. A thick tension. Second One and Third One held the Wild Man on both sides, keeping his back against a tree, while Boromir's sword rested against the Man's neck. Second One noted, out of the corner of his eye, that Boromir's grip trembled, so that the blade shivered.
"Nichtagis, giban saiwala seina faur managans lun!"
"What did he say?" Boromir's eyes flickered up to the elves, frenzied, frantic, red-rimmed. "Second One, what did he say?"
Second One searched his memory. It had been long ages since he had spoken the tongues of the Wild Men. "He said… I believe he said he has no fear, for he gives his life for the lives of many."
"Is he alone?"
"I have perceived no others."
The Easterling looked to Boromir, his black eyes glinting like burning coals in a mask of grime and sweat. "Dauthu-bleis, hraiw, baziabuks!"
"He says you are condemned, Boromir. You are known to them as the ghost with a weakness in the stomach."
Boromir laughed, strange and hollow. "That is an odd title! They mean to kill me? Eh? They mean to assassinate the four of us in the night? They believe they can do this? They are dangerously foolish! Second One, do this: Tell him he, and all his people, are to die, and will die, at my hand. Tell him I will kill his wife, his children, burn his home and his lands. Tell him Gondor shall stand tall, victor in all this, while his home, his family, his everything, will rot. And only when their corpses burn will I be satisfied. Only when the White Tree stands over all his scorched hills and wasted earth will I rest."
The Wild Men did not fight now, but listened. He watched the expressions of the elves as they listened as well, unsettled, worried, staring at Boromir. The sword shuddered visibly under Boromir's grasp. He looked at Second One, fierce, blazing.
"Tell him!"
Second One held Boromir's gaze, shook his head. "I will not."
"What? Do you not understand? It was he that killed First One! It is he that threatens my people! Tell him, now!"
"Boromir, be easy," Third One said softly.
"Is this how elves honor their dead?" Boromir spat. "Will they not even avenge their own?"
He looked to the Wild Man, brought himself up close, so that his anger, his fury, his madness lay but inches from the Easterling's face. Breathing heavy, teeth bared in an ugly snarl, he stared down at the Wild Man: "Very well, you will not tell him. Then he shall understand with this."
A strangled cry, and the Wild Man crumpled forward, throat cut. Boromir stepped back, his sword stained, and spat. For a moment, the elves were too shocked to speak. They stood, the Easterling lying at their feet, and stared at Boromir. Radagast too did not speak, as he had watched the entire exchange from further off.
"Boromir, that…" Third One began, cut himself off. He stepped forward, palms displayed. "Do not let the grief blind you. You are a better Man than this."
Boromir turned back to his pack and bedroll, grabbed them roughly from the ground. He looked at the others. "Aye, aye, better indeed. I am a better Man than that," he jutted his chin at the dead Easterling. "Come, we cannot stay here. They will come looking for him. We must continue forward."
The elves did not move, Radagast leaned against his staff.
"Very well! Do not join me. I need no company!" Boromir threw his shield onto his back, stuffed his sword back into its sheathe, all the while moving quickly, brutally. "I march to the Black Gate. To Mordor, to join First One and all the others!" He paused, collected himself with a deep breath. "That is the only end we can desire, my friends. I can tolerate no more and so I hasten to it. Will no one follow me?"
"Not to death, Boromir," Third One said.
Boromir snorted, his eyes again acquiring that stranger gleam. "Aye, how foolish of me! Elves have no reason to follow, for they can enjoy a thousand happy lifetimes where Men suffer only through one. First One was senseless to have walked so far as to be killed – "
Third One stepped forward, eyes blazing. "You speak ill of our friend?"
"Peace, Boromir," Radagast said. "You are strained and your mind flies in all directions." The wizard looked at the elves. "He is right, though, in that we must make away. The Easterlings know of our presence here, and they will surely send more scouts. Come, if I am right in my calculations, we are very near a suitable hiding place. We may rest there for the remainder of the night, and plan for tomorrow."
Reluctantly, Second One moved to collect his items. He straightened. "Good Radagast, mean you the Great Tree by Moonlight?"
"You know of it, I see."
"Aye, but I know it as an evil thing, not to be trusted."
"We are in evil lands, I fear, and there is little here, so close to Mordor, that is not somehow tainted by the Dark Lord. For now, it will suffice."
At Second One's urging, Third One, who stood glaring at Boromir, also began gathering his things. They put out the fire, and the sudden darkness was cool and empty. Soon, all four stood, ready-packed and waiting. Boromir's shoulders remained tense, his hands continued shaking, and Second One heard now the occasional mutterings as he spoke to himself. The elf sighed, adjusted the straps of his bow and quiver. Have we lost Boromir as well? Lost him to grief, or madness? Perhaps it was the final push to send him falling. I do not know. He looked to Radagast, nodded, and soon they set out, marching away from the stream and into the denser woods.
The lands above Mordor are sparse, and here and there one finds oases of wood and stone. These are cursed spots, where black magic lies tucked away in the openings of fallen trunks, under rocks, running with the foul water. Few animals live there, most only dwelling briefly as they move on to longer journeys. One of these spots, where the group now walked, was a wood where, at the center, a large-overgrown tree stood. It was commonly called the Great Tree by Moonlight, and its limbs sprawled large over the ground and into the nearby trees. Leaves grew and fell from it, yet it was grey and black, looming as a ghost. Since it lay on the very path connecting Dol Guldur to Barad-dûr, as the crow flies, it was a dangerous region. As with all vegetation that lay in this path, it was damned.
Led by Radagast's sure steps, the group made its way deep into this wood, towards the Tree. No one spoke, and every step, every crunch of dead leaves, echoed ominously throughout the night. Radagast did nothing to illuminate their passage, letting only moonlight and starlight guide them.

Rated 3 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by SHEISABOSS NOT THE FIT THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR The material of this legging is nice. However, the fit wasnt all that great on me. The medium was too big & the small made my rear end look like it was smashed in. Im 5'0 with a 26 waist and 36 hips. I hope that BeBe will produce a different jeather legging so that I can pair it with the leather top that I purchased. December 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by BebeGirl81 Great leggings at a great price! I absolutely love these leggings!! I even ordered a second pair--the last XS pair online (sorry, girls)--as backup just in case something ever happened to my original pair. They're one of the better quality faux leather leggings that I've seen lately. Yes, the material is thinner, but I think it makes them easier and more comfortable to wear. I received so many compliments. Definitely a must-have item. November 16, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by Roses1234 Not good I have many many faux leather jackets from bebe but this legging is just so unnatural. Sent it back next day :( October 21, 2012

Georg Muffat:
Sonata D major
Recorded July 2002
ECM New Series 1837
Related Recordings
Der Türken Anmarsch, a recording distinguished by extraordinarily inventive and committed performances, marks the end of an era for John Holloway. The album brings to a conclusion fourteen years of intensive work on Bibers music. I have come to an ever greater admiration of Biber, Holloway says, and of his immense contribution to the development of the violin as a serious instrument for Western music. As with his previous album Unam Ceylum, the British violinist and his associates perform pieces from Bibers 1681 anthology, Sonatae Violino solo, which formed the cornerstone of his reputation.
Holloways ECM recordings have received the highest critical praise. Of his earlier Biber album, Goldberg magazine wrote, This is a disc of such stunningly brilliant virtuosity that it is hard to know where to start. This is music capable of moving from dynamic energy to eloquence in less time than it takes to write the words, music that can hurtle forward with seemingly unstoppable momentum only to fall back to calm, sensuous lyricism, music that can encompass everything from skilled counterpoint to rumbustious humour. Holloway's performance encompasses all of this with playing of amazing fluency and bravura passion... a staggering celebration of the art of violin playing.

My son is using Sequel in his music class and we have also a version at home for him to practice. As a Christmas gift we bought a M-Audio Oxygen 25 USB keyboard for him to make it easier to make his own sounds. However when we connect the keyboard to the computer and start Sequel 3 we does not get any sound when we press the keys of the external keyboard.
We see that there is a connection since the "Sound input activity" is flashing when we press the keys but no sound. We have an active track and also there we see that there is a connection since the "Musical Keyboard Input Activity" is flashing.
We have installed the latest Win7 drivers for the keyboard from M-Audio and also (probably totally unneccessary) added a driver for Direct-Link for Cubase.
We would be extremely grateful to get someone to help us on this!

I'm sure anything made in the last few years looks great in 1080, but every time I'm at my in-laws, where their 7492-inch behemoth is always on, every TV show looks like crap.
Your in-laws should upgrade to HD content. You should get a 1080 and do the same. SD shows will look like the crud they are on a HD set.
Bought this unit about a month ago at a Brick and mortar store for $570. Picture quality excellent.. No complaints. Pedestal assembly required. Easy. Sound quality fair to good from internal speakers. Havent tried audio out to sound bar but I would thinks it would be a large improvement.
I think this woot that I unfortunately missed was way better for the same money:

Can anyone confirm if this TV is multi-system? So so NTSC and PAL Tuner.. I can see it has multi-voltage which is usually a sign of a multi-region performance but I do not see explicit confirmation of the tuner in the specs... appeciate any insights.
Thanks. V

Is that your belly button or are you just happy to see me?
TV arrived today packaged pretty well in original box. Set-up was a breeze. Only defect I found was the smallest scratch in the screen. Scratch was about 1/4 of an inch and towards a corner. With the TV off I can't see it if I'm more then 3 feet away, so just about a non-issue for me.
Will update once I spend some more time with it.
TV arrived. It's got a dent in the back that has no effect on the picture. I'm just surprised the set doesn't have an auxiliary audio output.
This TV just arrived here with one of the saddest packing jobs I've ever seen. It was double boxed in 2 non-original brown boxes. The exterior one was falling apart, barely held together. When I took the box in from outside, the inner box was shaking about with the TV in it.
Inside, a couple flimsy foam supports were barely keeping this thing in check.
We removed the TV to find a dent in one of the upper corners, and a broken LCD panel. Completely unusable.
Woot states I should have to pay shipping back? Funny, I didn't expect to be out shipping cost for this "deal" because of Woot's incompetent packaging job on this.
Oh, by the way - there were only a couple strips of clear tape holding the top and bottom together. When I packaged it back up and lifted the box, the inner box fell to the floor as the little piece of tape holding together the other end broke. Comforting. I used a half a roll of tape securing this thing for the trip back.
