About TCW Resources
TCW Resources exists to create music teaching materials designed to inspire teachers and students to reach beyond the ordinary. We are committed to producing quality products that utilize sound educational principles. With the knowledge that music can enhance every child's life, we offer students and teachers fresh new tools that will promote their love of music and make music a valued gift for the rest of their lives.
TCW Resources was founded in 1993 by Laura G. Zisette, Charlene Zundel, and Kathleen Lloyd to create teaching materials that are thorough, easy to use, and fun and stimulating for students. The materials are age- and level-appropriate, well-paced, and employ multiple approaches to accommodate varied learning styles.
TCW materials are piloted through the Utah State University Youth Conservatory, a music preparatory program for community children. This conservatory serves over 250 students, ages 5-18, through group theory classes and individual piano lessons. Its curriculum offers weekly group theory classes and individual piano lessons as well as many other extra-curricular programs. The National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) stated that "the USUYC should be a national model for music preparatory programs."
TCW materials are used in many other preparatory programs and conservatories around the United States and Canada.

From my wrt widget, I must visit an external website to logon to, grant access to their service and in return they display a verification code that my users then have to retype in my widget. My phone browser does not allow for displayed text to be copied an pasted into my widget. This makes it a tedious process that has to be repeated once a month.
I am looking for an easier method.
1. instead of launching a browser using widget.openURL, display the website inside an iframe - this does not work, since the origin is different and the content is inaccessible for my widget
2. I can provide a static, not dynamic callback url to the service that they can redirect to after my user has granted access. But how would I create such a callback URL? If I inspect the this.location property of the widget, I can see that it differs per installation, but even if it weren't, could this be a solution?
Any thoughts?

Okay, so the world's EASIEST supper is opening a pint of ice cream and eating it right out of the container. But this recipe is almost as simple! And everyone will think you slaved over a hot stove for hours cooking up this dish.
Crockpot Italian Beef
One approximately 3 lb beef chuck roast
One 16 oz jar of Pepperoncinis
Step 1.
Place roast in crockpot, and pour jar of pepper rings, juice included, over the top.
Step 2.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
When it's time to eat, break up the beef and stir. You may want to take out any large pieces of fat, depending on how much fat was on the particular cut of the roast. Optional: Sprinkle forehead with water so your family thinks you've been toiling away in the kitchen.
That's it! Get some delicious hoagie rolls from the deli, add a salad, and you're done.
I've never been one to leave my slow cooker on all day while I'm at work, but this is a great dish to make on the weekend and store in the fridge until you're ready to reheat (either on the stove or microwave). It's one of those foods, like stew and lasagna, that gets better the next day.
Admittedly, I was always skeptical of this dish. It sounds like you'd end up with a pot of sour meat and mushy peppers. But the beef comes out tender and perfectly seasoned, and the pepper rings hold just the right amount of firmness. Amazing!
Also I tend to never leave well enough alone - I like to add a bit of minced garlic, a few onions and some freshly ground black pepper to the crock as well. Try your own variations, and post them below in the comments!

Grenada Observes Vaccination Week 2012
ST. GEORGE'S, GRENADA, TUESDAY, APRIL 24 2012 – A week of activities designed to promote the life-saving benefits of Immunization is underway. It's in commemoration of Vaccination Week of the Americas 2012, which officially began on Monday.
The theme of the celebration is, "For You, For Me, For Everyone. Get Vaccinated!'' This year marks the 10th anniversary of the vaccination campaign initiative – but the first observance of World Immunization Week – of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).
Activities in Grenada marking the 2012 celebrations include health screenings, health fairs, lectures, community-based health-related events, open houses and an award ceremony for the top performers in the just-concluded Vaccination Week National Essay Competition.
Chief Community Health Nurse (CCHN), Debbie Francis, speaking on the occasion of this year's commemoration, said each year the Ministry of Health uses the opportunity to reflect on its immunization program, celebrate its achievements and strategically plan the way forward.
Francis reiterated that immunization saves lives, and said the ministry is cognizant of the fact that vaccination plays an important role in Grenada's development, especially in the face of new and re-emerging diseases such as Influenza- A, H1N1, Cholera, Tuberculosis and Chicken Pox.
Over the years, the Health Ministry was successful in the implementation of its immunization program with a success rate of 100 percent, Francis said.
"That program, of which I speak, covers and ensures that children from the age of six weeks are immunized against targeted diseases; and for that we place on record our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated and committed nurses and pediatricians throughout the length and breadth of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique," she added.

Pica8, Inc., the leader in open networking for software defined networks (SDN), today announced it has added three executives to lead sales and development teams in North America and Asia Pacific. By naming Henry Pan, vice president of Asia Pacific sales and operations, Matt Hammel, who is leading North American sales and David Liu as chief architect, Pica8 adds significant software, data center and networking experience to its management team.
Henry Pan leads Pica8 sales and operations in Asia Pacific, bringing more than 15 years of global data center sales experience. Prior to Pica8, Pan was director of sales at device maker Quanta. He holds a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Hawaii.
Matt Hammel is leading North American sales and provides Pica8 with deep data center expertise, holding similar management positions at IBM, Blade Network Technologies, Woven Systems, and Rackable Systems. Matt earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Tulsa.
As chief architect, David Liu will bring an extensive software and service provider background to Pica8's open architecture development, which will develop practical use cases, solutions and applications that lessen the complexities of operating in the cloud. David held software management positions previously with Cortina Systems, Ericsson and Lantern Communications. He holds a MS in Computer Science at the University of Michigan.
"As more data centers, portal and service providers recognize the value of SDN, we believe that Pica8 is well positioned to provide a compelling solution to the marketplace," said James Liao, CEO and co-founder. "With the addition of Henry, Matt and David to our management team, I'm very confident that we have the best team possible to execute on our objectives in 2013 and beyond."
About Pica8, Inc.
Since 2009, Pica8 has been fulfilling the promise of true software defined networking (SDN) by providing the world's first open, hardware-independent switching system. Pica8 open switches transform the data center by decoupling hardware from software. This new approach provides greater flexibility and adaptability, all while driving down implementation- and management-related costs of cloud and virtualized applications.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

The town of Portishead, England shut off its traffic lights for about a month as an experiment. Did this result in chaos and carnage? No. Actually, it worked so well the light-off trial became permanent. Traffic density increased while travel time decreased. Pedestrians also found that they were arriving at their destinations in less time.Read more »

This category has a multitude of uses for video surveillance. The gadgets are defined as spy due to their subtle appearance and they come under the following sub-sections:
The cameras which are
disguised as everyday household objects (many of which are under our motion activated sections) are done so with the idea that you can place them in areas around your home or office and they will not look out of place to anyone who comes across them. Our selection of body-worn equipment are intended to be carried about your person so that you are able to monitor and record
the surrounding
area of wherever you go. Popular
applications for such devices are to gather discreet video and/or audio evidence without other
person/s being aware that you are doing so.
If a camera's main use is for the purpose of incriminating someone, the camera/s can be monitored from a seperate location or the device can be placed and retrieved at a later date to check on what data has been captured. Our motion activated are perfect for leaving for longer periods as they will only switch on when there is something to record. And, with many of the gadgets being mains powered, you won't have to worry about battery performance.
Our range of outdoor versions are specifically designed to be heavy duty and withstand the trials of a British weather system! From hailstones to blazing sunshine, these devices will stand up to it all. Most of our products are also hand-built and completely covert in appearance.
All the above information is only a general insight as there are so many to choose from, each with their own functionality.

A brake pedal pulsation may be noted on brake apply. This is commonly caused by warping of the front brake rotors. Our technicians remind us that re-machining (turning) the rotors can correct this issue but the repair may last only a short time as the thinner rotors would be even more prone to warping. Replacement of faulty rotors with high quality parts is often the best option in these situations.

5 Frugal Ways to Dye Easter Eggs
Want to change things up a bit this year? In our house, we have an egg allergy so we're not big egg dyeing fans but I know most people do dye Easter eggs. I've seen some super cute posts recently with frugal methods I'd like to share with you.
{5 Frugal Ways to Dye Easter Eggs}
1. Kool-Aid Easter Eggs: Yep, use Kool-Aid. Who knew? It's cheap and super easy plus, you can always drink it too. Ok, maybe you don't want to do that. Moving on....
2. Glitter Eggs: There are a ton of other egg ideas on this website too. I love glitter personally so I'm all over this one.
3. Chalk Eggs: All you have to do is paint your eggs with chalkboard paint then let the kids draw or write on them with chalk. It's that easy. Plus, if you make a mistake, you can wipe it off and start again!
4. Natural Egg Dye: Learn how to dye your eggs with nature like blueberries! How cool is that?
5. Fabric Wrapped Easter Eggs: Very creative. You can also make it even easier by making Mod Podge eggs, just get the paper and Mod Podge to your heart's desire.
Get your egg dye on! I can still smell the egg dye from when I was a kid, I'm thinking the Kool-aid probably smells much better than vinegar! :)

About the program
GLS received a Mellon Foundation Area and International Studies Research Award in 2013 for its human rights research program. The proposal combined a new research agenda with an institutional innovation to deepen cross-regional and interdisciplinary research for faculty as well as educational opportunities for students across campus. It seeks to create a cross-campus Human Rights Program (HRP) using the momentum created by the Human Rights Initiative and the administrative and coordinating capacity of the Global Legal Studies Center (GLS).
The project seeks to synergize existing resources in a way that creates a unique research platform for a wide range of scholars and students on campus while promoting a significant institutional innovation that will help to strengthen and sustain human rights as an important dimension of our international capabilities.
Research clusters
The Human Rights Program is constituted by four broadly defined yet distinctive human rights research clusters:
Intellectual framework
These clusters will engage each other through a common intellectual framework which will include a special focus on four domains of human rights policy and practice:
- advocacy and mobilization
policy and social analysis
law and implementation
accountability and memory
This framework will enable the different clusters to engage in a deep cross-regional and interdisciplinary dialogue.
Proposed activities
A joint speaker series, brown bag discussions, a summer graduate student fellowships and a larger teaching mission - undergraduate and graduate/professional courses, and a human rights clinic enabling faculty and students to work on projects together with and on behalf of human rights organizations - will facilitate this engagement.
Governance structure and Current Steering committee members
While GLS will serve as the
administrative home, a steering committee comprising the Project Leaders
- Associate Dean Heinz Klug and Vice Provost Steve Stern -
representatives from Title VI Centers involved in the HRP and the four
research clusters that make up the research base of the HRP will lead
the HRP. The current Steering Committee members are:
Program PIs and Coordinator:
- Steve Stern
- Heinz Klug
- Sumudu Atapattu
Cluster nominees:
- Christina Ewig (land and water)
- Alexandra Huneeus and Scott Straus (state and non-state violence)
- Alberto Vargas (environment)
- Lori Diprete Brown (health)
Area Studies:
- Lalita Du Perron (Center for South Asia)
- Jo Ellen Fair (African Studies Program)
- Erica Simmons (LACIS)
Alexandra Huneeus and Steve Stern serve as co-chairs of the Steering Committee

In The Viral Storm, award-winning biologist Nathan Wolfe tells the story of how viruses and human beings have evolved side by side through history; how deadly viruses like HIV, swine flu, and bird flu almost wiped us out in the past; and why modern life has made our species vulnerable to the threat of a global pandemic.
Wolfe's research missions to the jungles of Africa and the rain forests of Borneo have earned him the nickname "the Indiana Jones of virus hunters," and here Wolfe takes listeners along on his groundbreaking and often dangerous research trips - to reveal the surprising origins of the most deadly diseases and to explain the role that viruses have played in human evolution. In a world where each new outbreak seems worse than the one before, Wolfe points the way forward, as new technologies are brought to bear in the most remote areas of the world to neutralize these viruses and even harness their power for the good of humanity. His provocative vision of the future will change the way we think about viruses, and perhaps remove a potential threat to humanity's survival.
©2011 Nathan Wolfe (P)2011 Tantor
"By turns terrifying and comforting, The Viral Storm is a clear, riveting account of the threat of undiscovered viruses." (Mary Roach, author of Stiff)
"a bio-geek's wet dream"
I'm a nutcase biology nerd, specializing in insect life. I was worried the book would read as a fearful, sensationalized, bid for a sanitized existence. I was wrong. The book is totally fascinating; it's filled with gritty details of outbreaks, epidemics and hypotheticals that inspire daydreams (nightmares?). Viruses are described in enough detail to excite the interests of biologists, but not so complicated as to alienate that the layman epidemic enthusiast.
Nathan Wolf's description of his career evolution from a primate specialist to an authority on epidemiology was unexpected and inspiring. As a young entomologist, I am now wondering if I'm in the wrong field! Wolf brings to light the incredible microscopic world of microbes into focus and shows insane complexity. My enthusiasm, writing this review, echoes Wolf's obvious enthusiasm for the world of viruses, prions and other bugs.
"Well Researched and Explained by a True Expert"
You can tell that The Viral Storm is the culmination of a lifetime of study. And although Nathan Wolfe clearly has the ability to talk over your head, he rarely uses it. The book is obviously well researched and I felt it was entertaining without talking down to the audience. Although I would have liked to hear more about fringe viruses and possible disaster scenarios, he does a very good job explaining a couple of possible pandemic agents (with great information on HIV, Influenza, and a number of viruses you may never have heard of) and outlining how they might spread throughout the populous.
I have to say that this book is not a thrill ride though. It's more like watching a documentary than seeing a blockbuster. You will come away with a better understanding of diseases, how they spread, and possible systems to prevent pandemics (one part I though he devoted maybe too much time on). But it will not leave you on the edge of your seat.
Don't get me wrong though. I really enjoyed this audio book. If you are genuinely interested in viruses and their prevention I could not recommend this book more. But if you are looking more for
"Well Written and Interesting"
A very well written and interesting book down the same avenue as Guns, Germs and Steel. If you haven't read Guns Germs and Steel I would read that first.
Some fascinating stuff here well worth the read. There are some interesting conclusions you can draw if agree with Richard Dawkins work: The Selfish Gene.
"Good Virus Listen"
If you are interested in viruses, and how pandemics start, this is a good listen. If you listen to this and Spillover (David Quammen) you'll be an armchair virologist/epidemiologist.
"Wow! Fascinating."
Couldn't recommend this enough to folks interested in emerging diseases. I learned a tremendous amount and the performance was also well-done and compelling. Skip "The Coming Plague" and go directly to this gem.
Doron Alon.
"No ratings yet? Why? This was an amazing book."
I loved the depth of the authors work and its implications. I am not a scientist but have always been interested in virology and this was wonderful. I have already listened to it 4 times… Highly recommended.
Let's face it, these authors aren't paying me, so there's no need to lie!!
"Excellent, well researched book!"
As far as new research on viruses go, this book has it all. Not too technical, but gives you a very detailed overview of these devastating litle creatures! Highly recommend.
Learn, understand, then decide whether you accept or reject.
"Terrifying look into the microscopic world"
If you're germophobic, this is a book you might want to skip. It explains the origins of microbes and how they spread, along with their evolutionary threats and potential epidemics. Terrifying, but I couldn't put it down.
Never read the book, but the information gathered from the audiobook is both informative and eye opening
"Very interesting subject"
Very interesting and relevant subject, and the narrator made an excellent job. In some sections the pace was somewhat slow, but overall a fast, easy, entertaining and frightening read.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

I just LOVE them, they fit great. I only wish they came in more colors like light gray, red and black.
RV dream
My husband and I wanted a new look for our RV. This was perfect. A new look and we didn't have to take a couch in or out of the RV. Great products.
Great Cover, Fast Shipping!
Not only did this arrive in record time, I ordered it on Sunday and it arrived Wednesday morning, it was so incredibly easy to put on. I hemmed and hawed over making this purchase for months as I watched my kids slowly destroy my couch. I took less than five minutes to put on and it looks great, it's a great fit! I wish I would have ordered it months ago!
I absolutely love this cover! It is beautiful, fits exactly as in the picture, and the quality is excellent- looks like it was made for my sofa.

New Forum Guidelines (Revised February 2012 regarding Promotion)
Welcome to SFFWorld. Please take the time to familiarise yourself with our guidelines for use of the forums.
1. General Conduct
The SFFWorld.com website is a place for everyone interested in the genres it represents, whether that person is a thirteen-year-old fan or a best-selling author who chooses to spend some time with us. It is an online community and everyone is considered an equal contributor to the discussion. It offers the opportunity for fans all over the world to exchange their views and thoughts about science fiction, fantasy and horror, without intimidation, regardless of their point of view, age, level of intelligence, hair colour, sock size or whatever.
One of the benefits of being part of such a large community of like minded people is finding common interests, in this case SFF books. That being said, whenever one joins a new community, getting to know the nature of the membership is very helpful in becoming a good and contributing member of said community. Maybe lurk around the forums and scan over some of the older threads for a while before posting, get to know what's been discussed (i.e. the many threads dedicated to the Wheel of Time or Joe Abercrombie), what people around here enjoy and conversely, what people dislike.
There are certain actions that we expect from you as a condition of you signing up. Use of this site indicates your consent to the Terms of Use
By signing up, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, racist, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.
It is a general rule that members are treated by other members with respect. What is seen by the staff or owner as behaviour inappropriate for SFFWorld (for example, bullying, hectoring, cheap shots at members or staff) will lead to posts being altered, removed and/or members being banned from the Forums.
As this is predominantly a Forum for the discussion of SF, Horror and Fantasy, topics about contemporary political discussion or religion (unless related to the genres) are not generally accepted here.
Consequently we do not accept criticism about a writers personal beliefs, political persuasion, sexuality etc. In some cases the writers beliefs appear to be linked to his written work. However, as the author is not here to say so, nor here to defend such assumptions, then we cannot assume that.
While members may hold strong opinions on a writer's work, personal attacks will not be tolerated. If you dislike a book or an author's writing, please back up why you dislike it. Brief comments such as "Author X Sucks!" will not be acceptable and will be removed.
Although the administrators and moderators of SFFWorld.com will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the original author, and the staff/owner of SFFWorld.com will not be held responsible for the content of any message.
The site is proud of its multinational nature and wishes to encourage global discussion. However, this usually means that we try and limit our points to the English language (with the odd bit of Latin etc thrown in!) and that we DO NOT USE PHONE-TEXT style writing. U knw, lk ths, cos u cb harder to understand.
Linking to torrent sites (or sites of a similar nature) are not allowed at SFFWorld. Members who do so will be issued with a Strike.
2. Promotion / Advertising: goods for sale etc
Posting advertisements at SFFWorld is not something we allow in the Forums. Members who sign up to SFFWorld to do nothing else than advertise their own products/sites/blogs etc will have their threads removed and membership removed. This may be without warning. Multiple threads of such a type will automatically lead to the membership being revoked and posts removed. However, see ADDENDUM below.
ADDENDUM: Since March 2012 we have introduced a Promotions Forum Area, on a trial basis. This is where members can highlight their own books, films, trailers, websites and things of genre interest. Other than being for bringing member's attention to things, the area still follows all the usual SFFWorld rules. Promotions anywhere else on site will still be subject to the appropriate action, as outlined above.
Using your own website address as your member name is not allowed.
Using Private Messages to contact members for the purpose of promotion and/or advertising will lead to membership being removed. This may be without warning.
3. Spam
The SFFWorld discussion forums are officially a spam-free zone. The rule of thumb is that any threads here, whether serious or fun, should be in the nature of a discussion, or exchange of information. Anything else will be removed and memberships revoked.
4. Staying on topic.
We ask, within reason, that threads stay broadly on topic, though we are aware that the nature of discussion forums is that comments do sometimes meander.
5. Spoilers
We appreciate the use of spoiler tags where possible in discussion threads.
How to use them:
Like all the UBB codes, utilize the brackets, in this case, as follows. Just close up the space between spoiler and the brackets:
[ spoiler ]Scroll over the blacked out text to reveal the text underneath [ / spoiler ]
By doing thusly, the affected text will read as follows:
Scroll over the blacked out text to reveal the text underneath
6. Popular topics and authors.
While we understand new members are eager to put their thoughts and personalities out in the forums by starting new topics, one thing to consider is that this forum has been active for over a decade. As such, many topics, authors, and books have come up in discussion in the past (both the distant (4+ years) and recent (6 months - year). We encourage members to utilize SEARCH function and TAG functions to see if a particular book or author has been discussed.
7. Recommendations
We are aware that this is what many of our members are here for. Before starting a new topic asking for recommendations, please check out the following threads:
The Recommendation Thread (Fantasy)
Recommendations (Science Fiction)
Horror Recommendations
8. Blogs
Blogs are a new element to SFFWorld. Though they are a separate entity to the Discussion Forums, it is expected, as a consequence of you agreeing to the SFFWorld Terms of Use, that their usage follows the general guidelines as given above for the Discussion Forums. However, they are intended as an area of SFFWorld with a slightly looser set of responsibilities.
Because of the risk of actions against us, we do not allow any form of fan fiction (ie: that involving well known or trademarked characters such as Superman, Batman, Buffy, Star Wars, Star Trek etc etc) on the site. Any such stories will be removed.
9. Actions of staff/owner at SFFWorld
We reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.
Any alterations in the Discussion Forums and Blogs are usually taken following discussion with other staff. Alterations may also occur when the staff have had a post or thread brought to their attention by other members.
Usually we follow a 'Three Strikes policy', where members are given three chances to correct inappropriate actions before their permanent removal from SFFWorld.
However, in some situations it may take one incident for a member's posts to be removed and their membership revoked. This decision is taken by the staff/owner and it is a condition of your Terms of Use that you agree to this action possibly being taken.
Clearly there are grey areas there; staff have to tread the fine line between trying to allow meaningful discussion which is respectful to those discussing, and allowing members to express their opinion. Ultimately the choice is made by the staff (note: thats plural!) and/or the owner.
The usual view is that if we/he dont like it, or feel that other members wont like it, then we do something about it. Whatever the response, the staffs actions are taken with the sites best interests at heart and in the interests of pursuing discussion without derision.
10. Comments and queries
On these Guidelines or anything else can be posted in our Feedback forum or directed to any of the moderators or admin. If your comments relate to a particular forum then we advise you to contact the moderators named for that forum, in the first instance.
Many Thanks
The Staff at SFFWorld

I'd like to ask, what is the role of mobile operators (like AT&T,T-Mobile ..) in NFC mobile payment ?
- They provide secure element(secure SIM card)? NFC enabled mobiles have their own.
- They enable secure connection? We know cryptography and anyway, basic smart cards don't have internet access and they work great
Why do I need mobile operator for emulation my Visa card on my NFC phone?
thank you!

The all-new Laminar Streamer finally solves the problem of digital audio harshness by using only a single clock source for the formation of the pristine digital audio stream. Although the device plays .wav and .aiff files off of SD cards, LessLoss did not incorporate the use of Windows, MAC OS, or Linux for its operating system. Instead, from ground up, a dedicated audiophile operating system was built, streamlined for the specialized task of serving the topmost quality data while avoiding jitter. Unlike any other computer audio playback system, the Laminar Streamer's operating system runs synchronously at the audio sampling rate via the very same high quality audio clock used for the formation of the audio data stream. Thus, a new level of quality is achieved in digital playback, previously unattainable due to the inherent complexity of running an OS clock and an audio clock separately. The intricacies of asynchronous re-clocking, buffering, and jitter reduction have been solved at their very source, a world first for digital audio!
Main Features
Direct Drive SD Card PlayerPlays any .wav or .aiff file from FAT32 formatted SD cards. About the size of a postage stamp, a Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) card is a flash memory device that can hold up to 32 gigabytes (GB) of data. These cards are a form of removable memory that can be used with many different digital devices, including camcorders and computers.
44.1 kHz–192 kHzPlays any standard sampling rate files, from 44.1 kHz through 192 kHz files.
16/24 bitPlays 16 or 24 bit files at any standard sampling rate.
Instant SD Card PlaybackInstantly recognizes the SD card. Boot time is less than 0.2 seconds. Nothing to configure, ever. No buffering, synchronicity, latency, or compatibility issues, ever. Nor viruses. Just plug and play the perfect audiophile stream, and keep your pristine audio off the noisy grid.

Great design celebrates the interplay between form, proportion, and function. At its core, the Laminar Streamer project could be described as a thorough execution of a fundamentally simple concept. Both its function and its appearance echo this same line of thought.
Digital music is often misleadingly described as brittle and edgy. This false accusation grew out of ubiquitous lackluster execution, both of electronic design, and of the related art of enclosure design. This dichotomy of 'electronics' and 'box' has remained an impediment to digital music's ultimate performance.
The Laminar Streamer manifests the very opposite — its oblique angles, organic flow of circular curves and overall sculpturesque form symbolizes the nature-like laminar flow of music, but not only to the eye. Its intricately positioned, interweaving, almost dancing curves form an organically shaped, yet simple, silhouette from any vantage point. This also holds true for internal vibration, from any angle of incidence.
Even though the Laminar Streamer serves digital data, it speaks the language of analogue, non-turbulent flow of fluids. The Laminar Streamer embraces emotional simplicity.
New Product Under DevelopmentLessLoss continues to strive to be one of the very best cost/performance values around. And our venture did not stop at power products. They represent the very core, the very foundation, to good sound. Then we introduced the Anchorwave and Tunnelbridge series of high performance signal cables to get that great sound from the gear to your speakers. But there has remained a bottleneck in terms of achievable sound quality from Digital which we will now tackle and address in the form of a new device which will take Digital to the next level:
Introducing the LessLoss Laminar StreamerWhat does "next level" mean?
What the Laminar Streamer represents is the point of convergence of two lines of engineering which both have been establishing themselves over the years since 1982.
The first line - CDs, vibrations, and optics1982 marks the date of the first compact disc technology to hit the market. Since then, compact disc players have become more and more refined, as audiophiles complained continually about harsh, digital sound (even if the measured noise floor was lower than that achieved by turntables). This technology brought about better and better physical solutions, with some exotic ones hitting the market which included air bearing drives (Switzerland) and belt drives with robust cases (Japan), precision tracks (Japan), blue diodes and plexiglass (France), extremely heavy top covers (Germany) and many others. With constant emphasis on ever more stabilization of the CD drive mechanism, these "monster players" evolved into giants to address some missing link in the CD reading and data streaming process. And, it must be said, much progress was indeed made in this realm.
A bottleneck remainedHowever far the engineering had gone to bridge the bottleneck, still there were available countless tweaks to be carried out on CDs, to even further optimize playback. These included countless sprays, wipes, black and green markers, lathing machines, high lumen stroboscope conditioners, demagnetizing devices, ceramic ball ion blasting devices, many types of stickers, pads, and others. In fact, one audiophile friend of mine had pinpointed not less than 12 such tweaks which, carried out on discs before playback, each truly resulted in better playback, regardless which of the big players listed above were used. So, evidently, some sort of bottleneck remained, and it seemed to be confined to the optical and vibratory realm.
Furthermore, many an audiophile had discovered by then that taking the time to use freeware ripping software (Exact Audio Copy was very popular shareware) and to re-burn the discs onto CDRs of different types would result in different sound quality from the original (notably, black and dark blue CDRs were known to provide superior sound quality). So there was obviously an element of Jitter entering the stream which was dependent upon the optical realm and was not getting re-clocked out of the auditory realm completely. The tweakers' saga continued, regardless of whether the re-clocking was synchronous or asynchronous, and whether the transport was master or slave to the DAC.
Enter Computer AudioBecause so many audiophiles were now experimenting with burning their own CDRs, it was only inevitable that many would discover the sound quality of listening to their ripped CDs directly from their computers as well. With the advent of the iTunes craze and other even higher quality sound files (24/96 for example through HDTracks), as well as the growing ease of downloading such high-res files and the impossibility to play them back on Redbook CD machines, computer audio was quickly becoming the next big thing. The internet was getting faster by the day.
There developed two schools: one was made up of independent, almost underground, tweakers of desktop computers. More and more was invested in the development of USB as a viable alternative to S/PDIF to reach external DACs from the computers, the reason being that more computers came fit with USB straight from the mass-production factories than those equipped with S/PDIF outputs. (There was a $2888 USB to S/PDIF converter which comes to mind as an indication of how more and more quality could be cajoled out of USB by crossing over to S/PDIF with smart clocking techniques, for USB is a clockless protocol in essence).
Another school was betting on the Firewire protocol (Switzerland comes to mind). Still others were going all out with stand-alone computer audio solutions, with tweaked up professional sound cards and desktop PCs meant for the otherwise mass market of number-crunching machines for the most various of applications (Korea and USA come to mind).
Regardless of the computer audio solution, one general tendency, one line of convergence, was clearly discernible all the while.
Removing servicesBecause these operating systems were enormous (Windows and MAC computers are meant to be universal to the point of sharing processing power even with hidden viruses and malware), it became clear through sonic tests that the audiophile tweakers gained considerable ground by disabling services, and the more, the merrier. As audiophiles delved deeper and deeper into their office computers, they found that there are a plethora of limiting factors in terms of enabling a digital stream to flow completely in laminar fashion, without Jitter. Here is a list of some such limiting factors:
-- High speed processors contaminate the entire circuitry and ambient field with radio frequencies and higher. The higher the frequency, the harder it is to keep other parts of the circuitry from being contaminated by them. (Resistive surface tweaks such as conductive lacquer or carbon fiber / nickel paper proved very effective here.)
-- PC motherboards feature many, many more functions which we don't need at all. Each are powered and run at high frequencies which clutter the entire circuit, which reduce sound quality of digital audio streams, where timing is the only qualitative factor (and the easiest to pollute because it is so fragile and crucial).
-- Video cards and other sections of the motherboard have radio frequency oscillators which further contaminate the environment. They run at high frequencies and intermodulate with the audio sampling rates we need.
-- Mouse, keyboard, USB, Firewire, IR, disc drives, video, ethernet, wi-fi and other synchronization software are running and require many parts which need power. Even more crucially, these elements all compete with the CPU for processing time. The key here is the time.
-- CD ripping software must run (well, not during playback), but all the CD ripping functionality must exist in the motherboard. Wires are dangling in the unit to connect the CDR/DVD burner/reader tray. Each wire is an antenna, and further clutters the atmosphere. Busses of loose wire run high data rate information between the internal components such as storage devices.
-- Fans are often necessary to cool the CPU. Acoustical noise results. Electrical noise results as well.
-- Computer operating systems are extensive and require many services, which all compete for processing time. These processes are allocated according to what are called priorities. It is known through the world-wide consensus of experienced computer audio tweakers that the more services you can disengage, the better the resulting audio. The stream becomes more laminar, less turbulent. Several companies have built entire businesses out of turning off the very services that the audiophile user knows or didn't even know that he had in his household computer. With highly lightened operating system services, these mass-produced office computers are re-branded as specialized audiophile music servers. Still, any connection to the Internet can result in a faulty system, with viruses lurking everywhere.
-- There are memory allocation issues at all times in the operating system of a computer. In high end audio we need extreme silence of operation and 100% perfect time allocation, meaning we need all of the CPU's attention at all times for no jitter to appear. We can't share the individual clock steps with other functions which the computer deems just as relevant for its operation. We want full quality, which means we need the whole clock to ourselves for the sole purpose of the creation of the audio stream alone.
-- There are really many clocks: one for the CPU, one for video, one for the audio card and other functions, and they all interfere with one another due to RF interactions and through the power supplies. This atmosphere is not made for real-time streaming events. It is made for calculation and error-checking, and for being fast at it. You can rip a CD at 52x speed and get 100% data accuracy. Data accuracy is not at all an issue in any computer these days. Timing accuracy is our realm as audiophiles, and home PCs are not suitable environments for the kind of high end audio we wish to achieve.
The list goes on and on, and so the idea for the past 15 years or so in computer audio has been to strip the operating system of all services at every step that they are yet able to do this. This represents the second line of convergence into the Laminar Streamer.
Two lines of convergence point to one solutionTo sum it up, here is a list of the strengths and pitfalls of both lines:
Lineage #1: optics-based solutions
- very simple operating systems
- no viruses ever, plug and play functionality
- the romance of putting it into the machine to play it
- psychology of "Albums" is maintained physically
- microvibrational influence on sound quality magnified
- expensive, massive physical realm solutions
- Redbook CD going out of style
- High-res DVD Audio / SACD war has been surpassed by ease of download
- numerous optical tweaks reveal obvious bottlenecks of performance
Lineage #2: solid state solutions
- absence of optical components
- download capability
- storage media becoming cheaper by the day
- cloud storage (safer backup) on the horizon
- plethora of operating system services competing for clock time
- overall system complexity due to non-dedicated engineering
- clock sharing bottleneck regarding Jitter performance
- power supply issues remain just as important as before
- numerous operating system tweaks reveal obvious bottlenecks of performance
A question for LessLoss Audio:Can we get the best of both worlds into one machine? By doing so, can we circumvent all of the cons of both approaches?
Yes, we can!
The Laminar Streamer SD card player!Just to make sure you know what an SD card is, it stands for Secure Digital and looks like this:
More info is available here:
They are getting cheaper, larger in size, and more efficient in their access procedure. Read speeds of up to 260 MB/sec are now available in Japan. This technology will spread across the globe next.
The Laminar Streamer has been developed by LessLoss from the very ground up, without using any modules or ready-made operating systems available for other purposes (Linux, Windows, etc.). In it, we have created the conditions for the ultimate audio stream to be formed directly from the audio clock. To understand the uniqueness of our solution, consider this:
The audio sampling frequencies available today are as follows:
44.1k / sec (Redbook)
48k / sec
88.2k / sec
96k / sec
176.4k / sec
192k / sec
What you can see from the above list is that there are actually two base frequencies, namely 44.1 and 48, which are multiplied by two and three times. Hence, the list is made up of two main frequencies and their whole-number multiples.
For a perfect stream to form, we need the data to be associated with a running audio clock. This is the only function the operating system should have. Everything else will demand processor time, and, hence, will introduce tiny deviations in the perfect timing we need.
What we have managed to do is to create our own audio dedicated operating system which functions exactly off of the very audio clock. This means that when the operating system is functioning (boot time and SD card recognition is less than 0.2 seconds), the data read off of the SD card is directly coupled to the clock's wavefronts and that is all. The stream is the result of 44,100 such operations per second. And this stream is very close to flawless in the time domain.
When a file is to be played which needs, say, a 48 kHz clock, this is then no longer possible with the original 44.1 kHz clock we used for the 44.1k file before. The solution most computer operating systems use to solve this is an extensive array of clocking functions, each running at different speeds and through what is known as PLLs (Phase Locked Loops) which introduce Jitter into the stream. However, the solution is easier in an engineering sense because only one clock is necessary for all of the different frequencies listed above. You can "round out the clock ticks" to get to the frequencies you need. But this "rounding out" probably need not be discussed here with you. Of course, it results in "that harsh digital computer audio sound".
Instead, what we have done, is have engineered a completely synchronous operating system itself. When a 48k file needs to be played, the 48k clock is turned on and the 44.1k clock is turned off, and the operating system itself begins running off of the new active clock. This is done seamlessly and in no time. No clicks or pops result in the digital stream. This seamless functionality and operating system's tight hold on both the clock and data streams are what make this system unique. Any file of any sampling frequency can be played right after one another, without the sloppy desktop computer CPU operations averaging out the clock speeds to make this work. Whereas an office PC is good for fast operations, we need not that. We need perfect timing operation, something which is not foreseen in the big operating systems.
The Laminar Streamer will be compatible with any sound file which ends in either .wav or .aiff and which was brought onto the SD card by either a PC or MAC computer. Folder names will be created by the user on their own office PC or MAC. We do not want people to have to pay for office computer functionality using their audio money! Let the mass-production world take care of that. We'll take care of the stream, the perfect timing needed to get so deep into your digital recordings, you'll completely rediscover everything you've ever heard in digital.
Compatibility will be with any DAC which has S/PDIF, AES/EBU, or even I2S input (pin configuration to be announced). Use any DAC you like the sound of. Best results will be when the DAC's asynchronous re-clocking is disengaged. The one-clock streamlined system is then maintained. The further quest for quality will then be reduced to the quality of the power provided to both the Laminar Streamer and the DAC in use together with it.
Of course, design wise, we are going to provide something very special. We want the listening experience to be beautiful, but also the domestic visual experience as well.
If the digital stream is laminar, truly laminar, then the largest influence of quality has already been met, and true appreciation of the musicianship and all of the higher content truly present in the recordings can much more readily be experienced.
Join our Newsletter ListWe look forward to serving you with more info about the new Laminar Streamer as it becomes available. We are sure that the divorce of the office PC from the listening station will be an attractive alternative to the invasive information overload we already experience in our everyday lives, and will help bring back a tranquil serenity and meditative aspect to our private listening chambers. We will be so close to our beloved artists and their messages that it will feel only natural to take pause from our emails and other office routines.

We recommend this excellent video about digital audio conversionIf you believe that PCM audio, even the good old "Red Book" 44.1 kHz sampling rate, has deficiencies, and are struggling to understand all the intricacies of the modern day "format wars", we highly recommend you watch this informative video, which shows that there are no deficiencies in PCM audio encoding and conversion, nor have there ever been. The only frontier remaining is the ever lowering of Jitter content, but the protocol and conversion is and always has been spot on.
The Laminar Streamer with its unique Direct Drive OS sounds interesting. But what kind of DAC will deliver the best performance with it?There are two types of DAC chips on the market: the parallel resistor 24-bit ladder technology, and the 1-bit Sigma-Delta technology. In our opinion, having built this device:
in order to directly compare four DAC chips head-on, using the exact same conditions of operation for each, we came to the conclusion that the parallel resistor ladder DAC technology sounds better.
Here we point you to two excellent videos which will give you a general overview of the two technologies and their intricacies.

Madison ends Lady Quarriers' season
The Lady Quarriers made a quick exit from the Region 3A Tournament in Tea last week when their youth and inexperience again had them in an early hole.Dell Rapids, the region's top-seeded team, fell in a 53-40 upset against Madison.A poor first quarter had Dell Rapids on its heels all game long. Within the first few minutes of the game, the Lady Quarriers turned the ball over five times, were 0 for 5 from the field and made just one of eight free throws. Madison led 19-2 after the first eight minutes of play."Our youth and inexperience was never so obvious as the first quarter tonight. We were down (by 17) and ... we just don't have the offensive firepower to fight out of that type of hole," said Jeff Dvorak, Dell Rapids head coach.On the night, Dell Rapids shot 24 percent from the field, committed 13 turnovers and was outrebounded 37-21.Ariel Hoffman led the Lady Quarriers with 12 points, and Mikaela Stofferahn added nine points and four rebounds."The girls fought hard to get back into the game in the second half, and for that we are very proud of them," Dvorak said. "Hopefully, this lesson will stick with us as we think ahead to next year."The Lady Quarriers finish their season with a 7-14 mark.

Is it like a mirror? Or is it usable even if you are not in the dark? Thanks
Phoronix: Dell S2409W 24-inch LCD
The prices on LCD monitors have dropped a fair amount in recent times and it is now possible to find 24-inch LCDs approaching the $200 USD price-range, which a few years back was just reserved for a couple 17-inch LCDs. One such example is the Dell S2409W -- a 24" LCD panel with 1920 x 1080 resolution and has VGA, DVI, and HDMI inputs. This sleek monitor may not have as many bells and whistles as some of the other displays out there, but its price is nearly unbeatable.
Is it like a mirror? Or is it usable even if you are not in the dark? Thanks
Strange timing... I just ordered one of these a few days a go, will be delivered tomorrow along with a new graphics card.
not sure i would like the glossy boarder. i have an older 24 inch dell, DELL2407WFPHC, and it has the memory card reader. i tried twice to get that to work and have not been successful, has anyone else gotten the memory card reader to work? if not then i dont think it will be missed on this reviewed model. also on my current model there is a slight tilt to the lower right. very noticable, kinda annoying, but i deal with it. does new dell lcd have any tilt or does the stand hold it level ?
I have 2 of the Samsung SyncMaster 226BW which looks very similar to this one, except that it is 22" 1680x1050.not sure i would like the glossy boarder
The glossy border is theoretically annoying, but in practice I do not notice it most of the time. But if possible, my next display would not have anything that is glossy.
I wish they would offer laptops without glossy displays.
About the only kvetch I have with this monitor is the capacitive button-less buttons that everybody else also uses today. I like the normal, raised buttons in my Dell 2001FP a lot better.
TN panel? No thanks.
