Perfect World Overview
Perfect World is a 3D Fantasy MMORPG Set in a gorgeously designed fantasy world. Create your character using the game's innovative character creation system and explore this lush fantasy world. Perfect World has numerous playable races and two unique classes for each race, for a total of eight playable classes. The three races are Humans, Winged Elves, Untamed, and Tideborn. With the game's large selection of playable races and classes, Perfect World is easily one of the most in-depth free to play MMORPGs available. The game's playable classes are:
Archer – Archers are capable of dealing physical damage to their opponents from a safe distance. They have extremely high accuracy and critical hit chance, but low hit points and limited melee capabilities.
Assassin – Assassins are fragile but deadly. They specialize in dealing large amounts of damage to their opponents as quickly as possible. They have some of the highest DPS (Damage per second) in the game and access to powerful DoT attacks. Their weaknesses include very low hit points and weak physical defense.
Barbarian – Barbarians are powerful tanks that excel in absorbing damage. They are great front line fighters and can transform into tigers to increase increase their movement speed. They have very high hit points, high physical defense and powerful AOE skills. Their weaknesses include low accuracy and weak magical defense.
Blademaster – Blademasters are powerful melee characters with access to a wide variety of skills, making them one of the most varied classes in Perfect World. They have numerous stun skills and powerful AOE attacks, but low magic defense and limited single target damage output.
Cleric – Clerics have access to wide variety of healing and supportive skills making them extremely valuable in groups. They have powerful healing spells and access to some decent offensive magic, but the are fairly weak in PvP and cannot deal as much damage as some of the other classes.
Psychic – Psychics are an interesting utility class in Perfect World, as their spells largely revolve around buffs, defbuffs and hexes. They do have access to some offensive magic, but cannot deal nearly as much damage as wizards.
Venomancer - Venomancers are a unique type of caster class with pet taming abilities. They have access to offensive poison spells and debuffs. They are easily the best soloing class in the game because of their pets, but like other casters, they have low hit points.
Wizard - Wizards are the primary offensive spell casting class in Perfect World. They are capable of dealing the most damage in the game and have access to powerful AoE spells, but have very low hitpoints and slow movement speed.
Mystic – A hybrid offensive and defensive magic user. Mystics have access to some powerful direct damage spells but also useful heal over time spells. They can summon pets to fight along side themselves as well.
Seeker – A powerful melee oriented class which wields a large two handed blade. They have access to numerous nature spells and can cast some offensive magic.

Perfect World Full Review
By, Omer Altay
Perfect World is a 3D Fantasy MMORPG that was first released in China back in July 2005. The game was later licensed to the Malaysian MMORPG publisher Cubizone, and was eventually released internationally as "Perfect World International" in September 2008 on the Perfect World Entertainment English portal. The game was If you've played the game before on the Malaysian servers and liked it I strongly recommend you give it a go on the official International edition, as the game runs a lot smoother and has much better English translations. The good thing is that even though Perfect World borrows a lot of the generic MMORPG elements from other games, it does a phenomenal job of combining these elements to create an enjoyable gaming experience.
Character Creation… Wow!
The single most notable feature in Perfect World is character creation. The game allows you to customize just about every aspect of your character, from the position of your character's smile to the size of the ears. Unlike other MMORPGs that don't spend any effort on their character creation pages, players can easily spend hours playing with all the options in Perfect World's character creation screen. Given enough time I'm confident that players can model their characters to look almost exactly like themselves. If you're like me and you're tired of your character looking like a carbon copy of everyone else, you'll definitely appreciate Perfect World's character creation. Even though character creation doesn't directly affect gameplay, I see no reason why other game developers can't put the same effort into character creation that Perfect World did. I'm convinced that no amount of words can truly explain the possibilities in Perfect World's character creation, so I'll let this image sum it up for me.
I mean come on! What other MMORPG lets you make your character look that… unique! I tried to make my character look as silly as possible to demonstrate the possibilities of Perfect World's character creation. I'm sure if you try hard enough you can model your character after some well-known celebrities, so don't be surprised if you see a character looking like George Bush or the RPG protagonist Cloud Strife walking around. The sky is truly the limit here.
Wow… This world really is perfect.
Every aspect of Perfect World's presentation is top notch. Graphics, character models, and spell effects are all impressive, and some of the best visuals I've seen in an MMORPG. If you're like me and appreciate good graphics, you'll fall in love with Perfect World's visuals. I actually sat down and grabbed a few screenshots of a few gorgeous scenes I found in the game and just stared at them for a while. Everything from game's trees to waterfalls are just so incredibly polished and pleasant to look at. I feel there is one thing that I should warn you about before you actually log in to Perfect World. For some reason, your character can jump incredibly high in this game, and by incredibly high I mean absurdly high. So if you see players jumping on top of castles and buildings, it's not a glitch, just an incredibly awkward double jumping system.
On With the Gameplay!
The most important aspect of any game is its gameplay. Perfect World doesn't shine quite as bright in this department as it does in graphics and presentation, but the gameplay is still enjoyable. Combat feels a bit dull and leveling is incredibly slow. Unlike most MMORPGs, leveling through grinding is almost impossible. One thing I really like in Perfect World is that the game rewards questing significantly more than it does grinding. I'm tired of having to commit genocide against the entire ogre or badger race just to level up, so I'm glad that Perfect World encourages questing as much as it does. The single biggest problem I have with Perfect World is that quest dialogue and descriptions aren't as detailed as newer MMORPGs like Runes of Magic and Atlantica Online. You'll often grab a handful of quests in town and when you look back in your quest log, the quest descriptions won't tell you what the heck to do. Perhaps I'm a bit spoiled after playing Runes of Magic, but I don't see why the game can't point you in the right direction for finding quest NPCs and monsters. The game does help you turn in completed quests by marking NPCs on the map, which is definitely a convenient feature. Leveling up in Perfect World is fairly generic – players are awarded five attribute points each level and new skills are unlocked through a skill tree system which have to be purchased at your class trainer.
A Map well done.
This is sort of a minor detail, but I really liked Perfect World's map. Every location in the game is marked beautifully on the map and the terrain is also easily visible. Players can mark their favorite hunting locations by tagging them on the map as well which is a nifty feature. You can also see which guilds control which territories on the map which is helpful if you're actively involved in the game's PvP.
Woah! Internet radio?!
One aspect of Perfect World that I was really surprised to see was the game's own internet radio station. If you're tired of hearing the game's built in music you can easily access the game's internet radio button and start listening to some other tunes. When you launch the internet radio station, the game will point your web browser to an online free radio streamer by Slacker.com. Perfect World partnered with them to run their very own radio station that plays music based on the community's favorite genres of music. Of course, if you want to listen to other genres of the music you can easily access other slacker.com radio stations right from Perfect World's community interface. The sound quality from the Perfect World Radio is incredible, and is just as good as having the mp3 downloaded on your own computer! This is such a simple, yet incredibly entertaining feature. I'm surprised other developers haven't implemented similar features in their games.
PvP… events… features galore!
If you're a fan of PvP you'll definitely appreciate Perfect World's massive 90 vs. 90 guild battles. Player guilds can actually control towns and territories in the persistent game world. So, whenever a player enters a town your guild controls, they'll see on their screen the town's name and your guild's name afterwards. Aside from the main MMORPG content, Perfect World has a lot of other extras to offer. The game's GMs are heavily involved in the game, which is definitely a welcomed change. In game events are common and are usually incredibly fun. One of the game's best aspects is the developer's dedicated to the game. Perfect World is one of those games that's constantly being updated and tweaked. Major expansion packs are released regularly with smaller patches released often. The game's developers have been doing a phenomenal job keeping Perfect World fresh and fun.
Final Verdict: Great
Perfect world is incredibly fun and one of the most polished free-to-play MMORPGs out there. Perfect World's impressive graphics and polished gameplay more than make up for its few flaws. Even if you end up disliking the game, I can assure you that you'll at least have fun creating your character. There's no reason not to give this game a try.

Midwest Living Review
There are several innovative restaurants in and near the Kalamazoo Mall. Epic Bistro is one. Sadly, it was almost deserted the Tuesday night we were there. With luck, a promised update of the menu should reverse that situation. Not that what is served now is bad. It's excellent. Locals recommend the sea scallops on tarragon-scented cream corn, smoked pork belly and watercress salad ($10). The wood-fired Brie served with honey, raspberry jam, port-poached pear, bourbon fig and sweet walnuts ($8.50) was irresistible. The wood-fired oven also turns out pizzas. And the rich, creamy gelato from Palazzolo's in Fennville made the perfect end to a hot summer day. Efficient waitstaff ensure a pleasant experience in the cool, tranquil space dominated by wood, brick and snow-white linen-covered tables. Here's hoping the business thrives, because it's absolutely worth the trip.

Vineyards of Le Marchesine, Passirano, Franciacorta
You may not realize it, but sparkling wine is produced throughout Italy, from many different varieties. From Campania to Piemonte, from varieties such as Falanghina and Aspirinio to even Nebbiolo, there is a wide variety of bubblies that can be found in various locales in the country. But for world-class quality, there is no question as to which Italian sparkling wine is the finest – the answer is Franciacorta.
What makes Franciacorta so special is the fact that this is a sparkling wine made in the classic method – as in Champagne – where the secondary fermentation is made in the bottle and not in a tank, as with sparklers made according to the Charmat process. Franciacorta can be produced from three varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) and Pinot Bianco and is it made in many different versions, be it a traditional Brut or a Rosé (minimum 25% Pinot Nero for a Rosé, though most bottlings have a much higher percentage of this variety) to Satén (literally "satin"), a wine produced solely from white grapes. If a Franciacorta bears a vintage on the label, it is known as a Millesimato. Franciacorta was awarded DOC status in 1967 and the DOCG designation in 1995.
The Franciacorta production zone is in the province of Lombardia in northern Italy with vineyards located south of Lago d'Iseo. The plantings are on low-lying hills and are primarily in modern planting systems such as cordon spur or Guyot, the ancient overhead system of pergola, though still present in small numbers, is disappearing.
Franciacorta, by the way, refers to three things: it is the name of the growing area, the name of the production process and the name of the wine. There are only ten such wines in all of Europe and only three of them are sparkling wines made by refermentation in the bottle: Cava from Spain, Champagne and Franciacorta.
As for the production method, there are strict regulations, as the minimum aging on the yeasts in the bottle is 18 months (most special bottlings are aged for a much longer time) and as stated before, secondary fermentation must take place in the bottle. The long aging on the yeasts certainly increases complexity and adds a note of minerality that is found in most examples.

Here is a short list of the finest producers of Franciacorta:
Ca' del Bosco
Le Marchesine
Monte Rossa
Ricci Curbastro
Enrico Gatti
San Cristoforo
Le Cantorié
Guido Berlucchi
Il Mosnel
Andrea Arici
As with most sparkling wines, the products are best enjoyed within 2-3 years of disgorgement. Some of the finest bottlings, made from vines with as much as 40 years of age as well as those aged longer on their yeasts, can be enjoyed for 5-7 years after disgorgement and perhaps even as long as a decade. Even the most straightforward examples of Franciacorta have lovely natural acidity and some examples are extremely high in acidity, with the result being wines that edge toward being a bit austere in the mouth.
Given the production methods as well as the overall quality of these wines, there is the inevitable comparison with Champagne. Yet many producers shy away from this assessment. At a recent seminar I moderated in Chicago, Andrea Biatta of Le Marchesine stated, "We are not trying to make Champagne, we are making Franciacorta." When I asked him about the comparison of the two sparkling wine types, he seemed as he wanted no part in making such an evaluation.
I can understand that, but when I taste a product such as the Le Marchesine Rosé Millesimato, the Pas Dosé (no dosage) from Bellavista, the Cuvée Annamaria Clementi from Ca' del Bosco or the 2008 Zerodosaggio from Andrea Arici, I can't help but think of Champagne, both in terms of quality and style.
However you view this, you can't help but admire the work these producers have done in making Franciacorta one of the world's great sparkling wines in a period of less than half a century.
On a separate note, I reached a bit of a milestone recently, as there were more than 5000 hits for this blog in October, making this the first time that has happened. I want to thank everyone that stopped by to take a look and read what I wrote – it is greatly appreciated!
Now I'd like to ask all of you for a comment now and then, as I'm interested to read what people think. It doesn't have to be anything profound, as a simple, "nice post" or "enjoyed it" will suffice. You'll make a middle-aged wine writer happy and you know what? You'll feel better about yourself after leaving a brief comment. Try it and you'll see what I mean!

Hello Tom,
I am an MBA student living in Rome, interested in getting involved in the business side of Italian wines. I am looking to improve my knowledge of Italian wine and was hoping you could let me know a few solid resources to start with. Thanks for your help and keep the posts coming, they are highly informative and I have enjoyed them.
congratulations Tom!
this is one of the best sites in english about italian wines.
Tom. Not a comment per se but a question about importers.
Do you have importer info for Le Marchesine?
I actually stumbled onto your blog whilst reading an article published by Franco Ziliani on his blog "Le Mille Bolle", which I follow. I have recently become devoted to Franciacorta and visited a few cantinas in September with my wife (Ca'del Bosco and Lantieri de Parataco). It is great to know that Franciacorta is becoming known in the States as it certainly the top sparkling Italian wine, although I must add that I am not that well-versed with all Italian sparkling wines (my colleague is a big fan Almerita and I have, as of yet, not tasted any). You are certainly right that Franciacorta, i only 50 years of existence, is arriving at the level of Champagne, if not already at the same level.
Who were the other four Cantinas present at the seminar in Chicago??
I agree with Marius Tom – your blog is wonderfully educational. Since your feature on Soave, I've tried the entry level Gini at $13.99 and a Suavia entry level also at $13.99 and repped here on the east coast by Vias. Both are outstanding Soaves in the lower end price range. The Amarone article above is very interesting, especially the info on current drying techniques. Keep up the great work. Cheers.
Really interesting read, I just want to taste now!!
Tom. It' say long time since this blog was first posted. If you see this comment can you give advice as to which houses of Franciacorta are the best for visits and tasting? I am planning a trip soon and will be in the area…intentionally. My husband and I are big fans of Franciacorta.

That sucks they closed Sandy Hook for you guys. I fired off an e-mail to the Sandy Hook Park Service, and the governor. Told them I wasn't going to spend any hotel, gas, food money in the state. If a bunch of people e-mail them, it might work for next time. It's a joke they banned surfers, when it's only surfers who know how to deal with the waves. They should ban swimmers.
trust me, your email(s) will be soundly ignored as they have more pressing matters to concern themselves with presently - but back to SH - I don't like the fact that they did it but it was the right call. Do any of you have any idea how much a rescue operation costs? I was walking to where I surfed Sunday, guy walking next to me has almost no wax on his funshape/fish hybrid kook sled. I say hey man you need some wax? He goes nah I think my rash guard has good grip, then I look at his feet and he's got aqua socks on. I just looked at him and shrugged. He then goes "I'm a beginner, this is my first summer in the water" I said maybe you should sit this out, or at least wait until the swell peaks and starts to deplete. He replies oh its cool my friend knows what he's doing, he'll make sure I don't get into trouble. So I check the guy out in the water, the friend is just as kooked out as he was. Neither of them made it past the shorepound, they got slapped back onto the beach in about 3 minutes. At SH those two pinheads would've been right out there in the lineup with everyone else.That sucks they closed Sandy Hook for you guys. I fired off an e-mail to the Sandy Hook Park Service, and the governor. Told them I wasn't going to spend any hotel, gas, food money in the state.
Ya, that is a shame they closed out the spot but they're likely worried about liability since this is the fee collecting season. We all know that after labor day the Park Service and all the other municipal tools will retreat to their backrooms to count up the money they made throughout the summer and go back to not caring if surfers are on the beach or not. What I don't understand is the NPS in North Carolina posted signs but they weren't threatening to arrest anyone, in fact, several of the rangers were just enjoying the show. But the NPS in NJ was probably just reacting to all the media coverage and Bloomberg shutting down the NYC beaches. Someones hand was forced at Sandy Hook because I've seen twice as big at the cove...
Seriously, it's just ridiculous, such a hypocrisy.
Pretty F'n sad you guys agree with Sandy Hook being closed. It wasn't even near being big. You guys need to do some traveling. As far as liability, with your rational they should just shut down beaches, too many people that don't know what they are doing. Gee, you could shut down beaches, fire the lifeguards, and then you wouldn't have to worry about liability, and you could save money.
Better get back to paying for your beach tags, and stay on the sand boys.
Who agreed?? I read one statement that someone agreed. Government stepping in and weakening personal responsibilty is always wrong. If it takes a few idiots drowning to give us all some freedom so be it. Eventually people will get back to taking some responsibility for themselves and use common sense. No one stopped me from surfing on Saturday other than a sense of my own ability, or lack there of, and the danger that surf posed to me. Any one who would sue is as much to blame as the NPS. I agree, open all the beaches, fire all the staff and eventually there would be fewer drownings and a huge savings in tax payer money.
It's frustration Zippy, I read someone here, and the dude on the video, who wasn't from Newport as far as I can tell.
I just posted my feelings, and the links to try and help you young guys, sorry if I am wrong and your not young. No offense.
I grew up in Cali, and knew about Sandy Hook, Manasquan, and Montauk. They were famous places I would have liked to surf someday. Now I have, and I feel people should know the history that goes with these spots.
They should fight for the right to surf there. I'm just disgusted that they would close the beach on a tiny day like that. I surfed it last winter bigger than that.
I am not a local there, actually I don't want to be known as a local, I want to be a traveler and explore new spots.
I have never had a problem with locals, but I can standup for a spot I don't surf often.
No problem ECkneelo. You are right I am not young, I am 43, been surfing 30 + years and I hate to see political correctness work to take freedom from people. That's what I see as the problem people willing to take crap and not try to change it for fear of offending someone. That place is always the smallest wave on the coast and easily the safest and they have the nerve to shut it down? West Coasters must be laughing their asses off over that one. On the East coast NJ is the worst place by far and is a virtual police state at times with law enforcement and government crap touching everypart of your life. I loved growing up there in the 70's but don't miss it today. Did you ever see this picture I posted a while back? It is the Sandy Hook of my youth, pretty amazing huh?

Carol Walters Cole
Carol was born Sept. 18, 1934 in Lovelock, Nev. to Mona Gracey and Carl H. "Bud" Walters of Independence and passed in Reno on Sept. 1, 2011 with family members at her side. The Walters family were an old pioneer family having settled at Camp Independence in 1869, and the Gracey family arriving in Independence in the early 1900's.
She attended Owens Valley Unified School until her marriage on Aug. 18, 1951 when, in Tonopah, Nev., she married William A. "Arnie" Cole, also of Independence, and they began their life together. She later went back to high school and graduated in June 1956.
Carol and Arnie had a total of six children, Marlene, Melanie, Mona, Michelle, Marci and Eric, and continued to live in Independence until 1974 when they purchased a hay ranch in Hammil Valley. In 1972 Carol and Arnie purchased Pine Creek Pack Station which Carol continued to run until 1984, after Arnie's death in 1976. She was selected by the Mule Days Committee as most Honored Packer at the Mule Day Celebration in 2002.
Carol worked at many locations both in Independence, Austin's Market where she was employed by her Uncle Robert Gracey, and in Bishop at Western Auto, Nick and Bob's Liquor, Josephs Market as the Lotto Lady, and the White Mountain Ranger Office on North Main.
Carol loved her family, the outdoors and the Sierra backcountry.
She is survived by her sister, Janis Seybert and husband Chuck of Desert Shores; sister, Sandra Jewett-Weigard of Granada Hills; brother, Carl J. Walters and wife Sandy of Vancouver, B.C., Canada; daughter, Marlene Taylor and husband Gary of Benton, and their children Galen Taylor, Kendra Cummings, Liana O'Shea and Hayes Taylor; Melanie Logan of Milwaukee, Wis. and her children Dana Cole, Nathen and Damon Logan, Kelly Ann Peters and Michael Karaouni; Mona Cole of Reno and her children Trisha Miller and Jackie Cole; Michelle Scott and husband John of Bishop and their children Jeffery and Bill Rossi, Denise Holguin, Andrea Marshall, Colten and Clayton Scott; Marci Harris and husband Dave of Chalfant Valley and their children Carolyn Yount and Auline; son, Eric Cole also of Chalfant Valley, 34 great-grandchildren; and numerous other relatives and friends by whom she will be greatly missed.
Graveside services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 17 at the East Line Street Cemetery in Bishop followed by a potluck celebration of life at Carol's home, 212 Mt. View, Chalfant Valley.
In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to the Eastern Sierra Breast Cancer Alliance at PO Box 1523, Bishop, CA 93515 or to the family's burial fund, in care of Eric Cole, 212 Mt. View, Chalfant Valley, CA 93514.

A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is an event, sometimes called a mini-stroke, with stroke symptoms that last less than 24 hours before disappearing. While TIAs generally do not cause permanent brain damage, they are a serious warning sign of stroke and should not be ignored!
Check your risk for stroke or TIA using the TIA risk calculator. Once you calculate your risk, scroll down to see your results.
Up to 40 percent of all people who have experienced a TIA will go on to have an actual stroke. Most studies show that nearly half of all strokes occur within the first two days after a TIA. In fact:
Within two days after a TIA, 5 percent of people will have a stroke.
Within three months after a TIA, 10 to 15 percent of people will have a stroke.
What are the symptoms of a TIA?
The symptoms of a TIA and stroke are basically the same. Someone having a TIA or stroke may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness loss of balance or coordination
If you have any of these symptoms or see them in someone else, even for a short time, call 9-1-1 or have someone take you to the hospital immediately. Treatment can be more helpful if given quickly. Stroke strikes FAST. You should too!
What causes a TIA?
Blood vessels carry blood throughout the body. When a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked for a short period of time, the blood flow to that area of the brain slows or stops. This lack of blood (and oxygen) often leads to temporary symptoms such as slurred speech or blurry vision.
TIAs are usually caused by one of three things:
- Low blood flow at a narrow part of a major artery carrying blood to the brain, such as the carotid artery
- A blood clot in another part of the body (such as the heart) breaks off, travels to the brain and blocks a blood vessel in the brain
- Narrowing of the smaller blood vessel in the brain, blocking blood flow for a short period of time; usually caused by plaque (a fatty substance) build-up
How can TIA be managed?
The goal of TIA management is to prevent a future stroke. The medicine and therapy used depends on the exact cause of the TIA. In addition to lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, your doctor may recommend drugs to treat high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease. These changes may reduce your risk of further TIA or stroke.
There are many medications that help prevent blood clots from forming, reducing the risk of full-blown stroke.
If a TIA is caused by blockage in the main artery in the neck that supplies blood to the brain, called the carotid artery, surgeries may be required to open the artery and prevent a stroke. These procedures are known as endarterectomy and stenting.
Talk to a doctor about the best stroke prevention options for you. Then take responsibility and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. The lifestyle adjustments -- such as eating healthy foods and quitting smoking -- made today may reduce the risk of stroke tomorrow.

Looking for Car Amplifiers?Start shopping
Review: Rockford Fosgate C.L.E.A.N. Amplifier Gain-setting System
Properly setting an amplifier's gain level in seconds
Setting the gain of a car amplifier properly is very important to ensuring your music will sound as distortion-free and powerful as possible. For many, setting an amp's gain can be technically difficult and often incomprehensible. Rockford Fosgate has come up with a method that allows you to set the gain of their new Punch amplifiers quickly and accurately. With their C.L.E.A.N. ("Calibrated Level Eliminates Audible Noise") system, it's as easy as playing an audio track and adjusting a couple of volume knobs.
Rockford Fosgate Punch P400X4
Testing a Punch P400X4
Rockford Fosgate rates the P400X4 4-channel amp at 50 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms and 100 watts per channel at 2 ohms. My first impression of this amp, when I got it out of its box, was that it's very small and very heavy for its size. The chassis is one solid aluminum heatsink. The connections are beefy—I could really crank down on the screws holding the power and speaker wires. This is important for an amp because loose connections often cause problems in car audio.
Out of the box
The amplifier comes with a small bag of mounting screws and an Allen wrench tool, along with a certificate of performance, an illustrated quick-start guide sheet, and a CD loaded with 27 audio test tracks and the complete owner's guide as a PDF file (multiple languages). One side of the illustrated guide shows how to hook up the amp and the other shows how to set the gain. The certificate indicated that the amp I was working with had put out an average of 142 watts per channel at 2 ohms when tested at the factory—that's about 40% higher than the rated specifications, so a customer's experience will most likely exceed their expectation.
Setting up
A small problem I encountered was that the hex-head Allen wrench tool that came with the amp didn't fit the panel screws, preventing me from opening the panel to make the setup adjustments. A few seconds with an emery board fixed it, taking off the little burr of metal at the tip of the tool. All the connections are on one side of the amp, which simplifies the wiring and makes installations easier to keep neat. It was a bit disconcerting that I had to reach my hand just over the power wires to make the gain and other adjustments, but I was confident that the wires were tightly in their place and posed no threat of shock to me.
Setting the gain
I turned up the gain until the light turned blue
It took me less time to do it than it will to tell about it. The illustrated guide shows 10 steps, but it was simpler to follow than even that. With the receiver's tone controls set flat, I played Track 7, a 0 dB 1000 Hertz sine wave. I turned up the receiver's volume to full, and checked the input clip light on the P400X4. The CD player I used did not clip, even at full volume. If it had, I would have had to turn the receiver's volume down until the clip light went out. So far so good. I turned up the gain adjustment for the front channels until the output clip light turned blue, overshot to red, then back down to blue. I repeated that for the rear channels. I was done in well less than 60 seconds, the play-time of the test track.
Checking up on it
The lights on the amp indicated that it was set up correctly—but was it? I next connected an oscilloscope and a volt meter to the amp's output and repeated the setup procedures while keeping an eye on the waveform and RMS voltage. Sure enough, the 1000 Hz signal never clipped when the receiver was maxed, but just started to flatten at the top when the blue light came on, and was obviously clipped when the light turned red. Easing it back to blue, I read that the amp was putting out 19.5 volts RMS. That translated to 190 watts at 2 ohms, almost 50 watts more than the certificate specified.
The amp seemed to do better because no speaker was connected
I measured the amplifier working without a load, which would have lowered that reading to the expected 16.9 VRMS, which is 142 watts at 2 ohms. The load, in this case, would have been a speaker, and even a 50-watt 1000 Hz sine wave through a speaker is extremely loud, annoying, and dangerous to hearing, so I didn't use one. The clip lights accurately indicated what was going on with the signal, so I'll believe Rockford Fosgate's certificate of performance.
Conclusion: It works as advertised
If you follow the simple directions, you can properly set the gain of one of these Punch amps with the C.L.E.A.N. system in seconds. This guarantees that the maximum clean signal coming out of your receiver will result in the cleanest and most powerful output from this Rockford Fosgate amplifier. Sounds good too, and works for me.
This video from Rockford Fosgate shows how quick and easy gain-setting is with their C.L.E.A.N. system:

nice, I stay with chevy
During the month of July, 2013 I feel I got defrauded by Honda of Steven Creek. I went in and spoke with car salesman Mike Djahra. and I test drove a used 2010 Honda Accord. The car looked fine and felt fine, and I specifically asked Mike if this car had been in an accident and he said "NO". My cosigner and I proceeded to sign all documents. About two weeks after I went to get my windows tinted the tint shop informed me that one of my doors wobbled to much and that I should have it checked out. I took it to Honda Steven Creek recommended body shop AW Collision of San Jose and after their inspection they informed me that my car had in fact been in a car accident and someone attempted to cover it up making it an unsafe vehicle. The body shop told me the estimated cost to have this car repair would be $9,137. I immediately took this issue to Honda Steven Creek and I spoke with Samantha Elrite. and I explained my problem to her and I gave her a copy of the repair cost estimate and of course she told me that there was no one there to help me and to go home and she will show her boss my documents. During a period of 3-4 weeks I spoke with Subhash Chandran General Manager, Moe Atta General Sales Manager and Abraham Finance. I begged them to please help me out with this unsafe vehicle. I informed them that I feel they took advantage of me by selling me a wrecked and unsafe vehicle and I simply wanted them to give me for what I'm paying for and after numerous of phone calls and three or four visits to Honda of Steven Creek dealership they refused to help me out making all sorts of excuses and disrespecting me and my cosigner. In addition they went as far as to tell me that Honda of Steven Creek had millions of dollars to spend in attorneys in case I wanted to sue them. As a result I contacted the auto fraud legal center and attorney Hawk and his firm decided to fight for my rights as a consumer and sue this dealership for their wrongdoing.
My case is currently pending in California in the Santa Clara County Superior Court Civil Case Number 1-13-CV-254207, in which Honda of Steven Creek is doing business as Santa Clara Imported Cars, Inc. (My name is Pedro Ibarra.) (Follow my court case at: http://www.sccaseinfo.org/pa6.asp?full_case_number=1-13-CV-254207&crumbs=Civil Index&crumbs=Party/Case Type Search&crumbs=Party/Case Type Results&crumbs=Cases Involving Pedro S. Ibarra )
In addition we just had a mediation hearing on 01/15/2014, in which of course nothing happen at mediation thanks to their refusal. Overall, I'm an American guy that is just trying to make it, I have two jobs and I am putting myself through college (Engineering major) I went to a Honda dealership and not to a mom and pop dealership in order to avoid these kinds of problems. Honestly, because it was a Honda dealership I felt I can trust them and get myself a good reliable car. Unfortunately, Honda Steven Creek clearly took advantage of me and even after I took this problem to them they have refused to help me out. $9,137 is a lot of money for car repairs. I can see why they would like to dump this car on somebody and get it out of their dealership. Once again a huge corporation is taking advantage of the small people/consumer and tax payer.
I am just tired of big corporations and businesses taking advantage of us, as if they do not need us. grrrrrr!!

Next Steps for Accepted Students
Congratulations! Once you've been accepted to Kent State University at Tuscarawas, there are a few things you must do before you can set up your first semester's schedule. Your acceptance letter and the information sheet included with it detail these important next steps.
- First, you must complete the required placement testing which includes ALEKS online math placement assessment (all new students) and may also include COMPASS reading and writing assessments (students who are over 21 years old). Students must be admitted in order to take Kent State University placement tests.
- Newly accepted transfer students should contact us at 330-339-3391 to find out exactly which, if any, assessments are required. Transfer students who have completed required assessments will meet with an academic advisor to review transfer credit and schedule classes.
- Then, you must attend a SOAR (Student Orientation, Advising and Registration) session during which you'll become oriented to the campus, learn about financial aid, discover your placement test results and schedule your first-semester classes. You cannot attend SOAR without first completing the required placement assessments.
All new Kent State University students are required to take the ALEKS placement test for mathematics. ALEKS is a powerful artificial intelligence-based (AI) assessment software product that zeroes in on the student's mathematical strengths and weaknesses, reports its findings, and then, if necessary, provides a learning module to improve the student's knowledge and skill.
The ALEKS placement test can be taken online from home through FlashLine. Students who wish to take the ALEKS placement test at the campus should report to the Network Services Help Desk located on the second floor of Founders Hall during the following hours:
Tuesdays, 9 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Fridays, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
(Appointments are not necessary)
New students who have current ACT scores will be placed in reading and writing courses according to ACT reading and English subscores.
New students who do not have current ACT scores must take COMPASS reading and writing. COMPASS is a comprehensive, self-paced computer testing program that helps place students into appropriate courses and maximizes the information colleges need to ensure student success.
ALEKS and COMPASS test results are used by academic advisors to determine proper course placement.
- Photo ID required for testing.
- The ALEKS placement may take up to 90 minutes to complete and should be completed in a single sitting.
- COMPASS reading and writing may take up 60 minutes to complete.
- ALEKS may be completed online from home or on campus during designated hours.
- COMPASS is offered on selected days and requires a scheduled appointment.
- For more information on ALEKS, log into FlashLIne > Student Tools & Courses > Placement Assessment.
- For sample COMPASS questions, visit http://www.act.org/compass/sample/index.html.
- You will receive placement testing results at SOAR.
- Only students who have completed the required assessment testing will be scheduled to attend SOAR and enroll in classes.
- There is no charge for placement assessments.
If you've been accepted and have questions regarding your next step, please call our main office receptionist at 330-339-3391.

Centre for Chemistry and Biotechnology (CCB)
The Strategic Research Centre (SRC) encompasses Chemistry and Biotechnology. These two research areas are linked by a desire to understand how molecules are made, how they can be utilised and how they work in complex biological systems.
Research within the SRC falls into two major areas:
- Biotechnology
- Chemistry
Biotechnology is an important industry sector that covers molecular biology, human and animal health, pharmaceuticals, environment, agriculture, medical devices, nanotechnology and related sciences and manufacturing, together with the associated business, regulatory, and intellectual property skills.
Much of the research undertaken within the SRC is underpinned by chemistry that has as its core the isolation, synthesis, processing and detection of compounds, especially those with biological activity. There is a strong link between chemistry and forensic sciences in research and innovation. Our research includes medicinal, supramolecular and natural product chemistry and applications of chemiluminescence as a qualitative and quantitative tool for the determination of pharmaceuticals, antioxidants in food, other biologically active molecules and explosives.

Yoko Ono Appreciates Paul McCartney Giving Her A Pass For Beatles Split
Thursday, May 16, 2013
Yoko Ono says that he appreciates Paul McCartney's recent comments in which he insisted she did not break the Beatles up. Yoko spoke about McCartney's kind gesture, telling BBC Radio: "He was very sweet to say that, and he probably needed closure to say that. That's why he couldn't say that until now. He knew me -- we knew each other for 30, 40 years or something -- but there was no way to say anything like that because people just liked the idea that we were fighting like crazy in a boxing ring."
When asked if it was difficult being married to John Lennon, Yoko said, "Yes, that's why I have so much respect and love for the other Beatles' wives. It's the most difficult thing to be. I think it's more difficult than being a politician's wife, because it's endless. We have a position that is endless."
Although McCartney and Yoko had a strained relationship for decades, during John and Yoko's mid-'70s separation, McCartney actually helped the two reconcile after visiting them separately in 1974: "(I) took him in a back room, like a sort of elder brother, almost. I sort of said, 'I'm the go-between, and do you still love Yoko? Do you wanna get back with her and stuff?' And he said, 'Yeah.' I said, 'Well, here's how you do it. I just gave him what Yoko had said, and he pretty much did it, which was good, because they were important to each other. I was glad to be able to help, but, y'know, I'm not trying to earn any medals."

m (changed framework category to platform category as platform category exists)
m (added Category:Migration using HotCat)
|Line 80:
|Line 80:
This documents track potential backward compatibility issues for Joomla 1.7 and Joomla Platform 11.1 which will be included in Joomla 1.7. Listed are issues which potentially breaks extensions and newly deprecated APIs.
Please help making this document complete.
The base of this comparison is Joomla 1.6.
JDatabaseQuery is now abstract due of the work done to support new database engines (Windows Azure and Microsoft SQL Server). This means you must use
$db->getQuery(true); to instantiate a query as is the correct practice in Joomla 1.6.
The getConnectors method formerly supported a file called driver.php that it searched for in a folder with the same name as the database, such as /mydatabasename/driver.php. This seems never to have actually been used in the core. If you have a driver with that structure simply rename the file with the name of the database (mydatabasename.php) and place it in the libraries/database/database folder. The files and class names for database support that are currently in that folder can be used as models for this.
JError and JException have been deprecated with Joomla Platform 11.1. Please see Exceptions and Logging in Joomla 1.7 and Joomla Platform 11.1 for more information.[4][5]
Within the new Joomla release cycle, developers need to be conscious of more frequent changes to version numbers. If you are doing hard checks against, for example, a version number exactly equal to "1.6" then as we move to 1.7, those checks may fail with unexpected results. You should ensure that version checks appropriately allow for future increments like 1.7, 1.8, 2.0, 3.0, and so on.
JHtml::_('behavior.framework'); for Core and adding the 'true' option for More.[13]
The file /libraries/version.php has been moved from the platform to the CMS, specifically to /includes/version.php. If direct access to this file is needed jimport will need to be adjusted but it also can be access by loading framework.php
require_once JPATH_BASE.'/includes/framework.php'
or by using JLoader.
