New Orleans Cemetery and Voodoo Walking Tour
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the New Orleans Cemetery and Voodoo Walking Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Mary LaCost (Scary Mary) was our tour guide and she made this just a wonderful experience. We learned much about the history of New Orleans and made a special stop at the tomb of Marie LaVeaux...holding our "girs-gris" bags and making our wishes! Mary was especially concerned about our welfare in the New Orleans heat...every one received a complimentary bottle of water and strict instructions (and reminders) to stay in the shade! In a word it was fascinating!
Great tour with lots of information.
This was an amazing tour if you like that sort of thing. My husband and I had already been on couple of different tours so we were afraid that we had heard it all already but our tour guide was very informative and was always ready to answer any questions we had despite the fact we were melting in the sun. HAHAHA.
This was a great tour, and full of interesting facts.
Interesting tour with a very great guide (Judy)
excellent tour.very knowledgeable guide..
We truly enjoyed our walking tour of Saint Louis Cemetery in New Orleans. The gentleman who was our guide was full of not only cemetery knowledge but added so much color commentary about New Orleans and its rich history. If you enjoy history and are as fascinated with historical artifacts and markers, you'll love it.
I went on the Garden District tour and the Voodoo cemetary tour. Two different guides but both were excellent!!! I actually lived in New Orleans at one time and had not had the opportunity to really appreciate the flavor and history. This was fantastic I would definitely recommend. Really enjoyed it and may go back for the Natchez Riverboat tour.
tour guide was very knowledgable, we enjoyed it very much.
Excellent. Would recommend this for everyone. Just add Delphine McCarty/ Lalaurie to list of tombs to see.
Fun tour, buttake the morning tour not the afternoon one.
Very informative and enjoyable. Loved it
This is a great start to the history of New Orleans, Our guide (Pat) told the stories of the people who "live" there in a way that made them come alive...even telling us the scandal and gossip of their day. Especially interesting were the customs and rituals of the era and how it has translated to today. No feeling of being rushed through, yet Pat kept us moving. This tour is a MUST.

This tour is highly recommended. Our tour guide was great, friendly and extremely knowledgable.

drying banana peppers
I read where you can dry peppers by hanging them by the stem, my questing is do you dry them as whole peppers, do you have to cut and clean them out or do anything to them at all before hanging them?? thank you in advance for your answers
Well i have never dried anything like that it takes a long time. I dry my own herbs by putting whatever i want to dry between two ribbed air conditioner filters. then i put the filters on a box fan, so the air is blowing through the filters, secure the filters to the fan with bungee cord, turn the fan on high. I usually let it run for 12 hours then flip the filters over, and let it go for another 12 hours. its not as easy as hang um and leave um, but there will be no bugs to worry about, or rotting (which sometimes happens in humid climits). It always works for me.

NRDC and Berkeley Food Institute Join to Host 2014 Growing Green Awards

- Eat Green
Our everyday food choices affect global warming and the environment
Fact Sheet
- What we eat matters. The food choices we make every day have a big effect on the environment. The good news is that even small changes in what we buy and eat can add up to real environmental benefits, including fewer toxic chemicals, reduced global warming emissions, and preservation of our ocean resources. Eating "green" can also mean eating fresher, healthier foods while reducing your grocery bill and supporting our farmers. Get document in pdf.

- Raising Resistance: Feeding Antibiotics to Healthy Food Animals Breeds Bacteria Dangerous to Human Health
- Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a major public health crisis, leading to infections that are difficult to treat and sometimes impossible to cure, require longer and more expensive hospital stays, and are more likely to be fatal. At the same time, the development of new antibiotics has slowed to a trickle. In some cases, there are now few or no antibiotics that work to treat drug-resistant bacterial infections. Meanwhile, scientific studies have shown that consumers are exposed to antibiotic-resistant bacteria on their meat and other food. While improper use of antibiotics in the health care sector is a problem, organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) recognize that the "overuse and misuse of antibiotics in food animals" is a major source of the antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Curbing inappropriate use of antibiotics is key to maintaining their effectiveness in humans and slowing the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. Get document in pdf.
- Mercury Contamination
A Guide to Staying Healthy and Fighting Back
- Power plants and chemical facilities are the main sources of mercury pollution, but this hazardous chemical makes its way into our homes and bodies in fish. This guide provides information about the health effects of mercury exposure, shows where it's coming from, offers tips for eating fish more safely and highlights opportunities to help stop mercury pollution.
- The Story of Silent Spring
How a courageous woman took on the chemical industry and raised important questions about humankind's impact on nature.
- Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (1962) was one of the landmark books of the 20th century. It described how DDT entered the food chain and accumulated in the fatty tissues of animals, including humans, causing cancer and genetic damage. Silent Spring not only exposed the hazards of the pesticide DDT, but eloquently questioned humanity's faith in technological progress and helped set the stage for the environmental movement that followed.
- Case Study: Alar
- Much as Upton Sinclair's The Jungle led to passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act 0f 1906, and Rachel Carson's Silent Spring triggered bans of DDT and other toxins, the airing in February 1989 of the 60 Minutes broadcast, "A is for Apples" -- based in large part on NRDC publication, "Intolerable Risk: Pesticides in Our Children's Food" -- sparked a chain of events that led to critical improvements in food safety policy.

Allowing a tidal wave of discontent over "local" access to a 70,000-square-foot indoor water park capsize the proposed Great Wolf Resort wouldn't make any sense if the economic numbers really do work for Manteca.
I hurried outside into the parking lot of the Manteca Bulletin as I took a quick break from work. The time was 1:37 a.m., Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2010.
Great Wolf Resorts could - if the numbers work out - become the Mother Lode of all Manteca Redevelopment Agency endeavors.
Do not - I repeat - do not go hunting for a Christmas tree with someone who is pursuing a double major in engineering and architecture.

The business climate is bad in California.
I always love getting calls from people who live on the East Coast or Midwest this time of year.
I'm not a huge fan of hunting.
Sylvia Siegel was an amazing woman.
It was the ultimate defining moment for the out-of-control culture of entitlement.
Ben Cantu - who finished second in the Manteca mayor's race last month - sounded like a broken record at times during the campaign when he harped on the city's "inability" to adopt a plan and stick to it.

Intel's Skulltrail looks like the kind of system that anyone would want to own, badly. It's too bad that when The Tech Report questioned Intel about the pricing, they replied that it will be priced above 'traditional workstation-class', which you can probably read as super crazy high price plus time and materials and a bit on the side. They aren't even sure what RAM is in this machine, but supposedly it is CL3 and over 800MHz, nor were they able to benchmark it themselves, so we have to accept Intel's screenshots, for no

Cooler Master HAF X NVIDIA Edition Gaming Computer Case Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips
What do you think about this video?
realsky54: Thumps up if you see this vidéo in 2015 :)
Sergio Giangrande: Thumbs up if you installed an AMD video card in this case... D
DJOLE860: don't know why,but this case has nvidia written all over it
ilikestringcheese: 6:00 that's how Linus treats a woman I guess.
SubPolarGamimg: I'm pretty sure that says AMD
onem4nb4nd: Clicked on the vid cuz I have the same case! I got it a few months after this video was put up. I built the entire rig through newegg and originally had the all black HAF X. The day before I completed the entire order I found this awesome Nvidia version and first laughed heartily, then immediately decided I needed it in my life. Appropriately, I threw a gtx 570 (nvidia) in it for some sweet, sweet, skyrim and a few years later I've just replaced the 570 with the 970 for some even sweeter skyrim + full enb effects! Anyway, the moral of the story is this case has outrageous cooling capabilities without the hassle of water-cooling (HAF/High Air Flow). Although it's great for water-cooling as well, I just didn't deem it necessary since my peak OC'd temperatures under maximum-benchmark load never passed 70C with either the 570 or 970! Plus the green/blue led theme I'm running looks pretty sick!
Syndicution: Perfect for my AMD components
Flutterbomb: I would put a Radeon card in there and say "freak the police"
Archit N.: Perfect for an FX-8350 and R9 290X CF lol
Neon Edit: But dose it support a 100i
Kelvin Castillo: COOL! Coolermaster HAF X Nvidia Edtion and your GPU is an R9 290x haha XD AWKWARD
MinBCraft: 3 years later, linus says HAF is not his cup of tea....
Isidorus Hispalensis: I wanted one of these. But there not available anymore. Love the green.
Quinn Jenkins: I think you need to rig this up with some amd gear
Tuberuser187: You have to be a real Nvidia super fan to want this, its kinda gross and would never get in my setup.
Isaac Anderson: Presume it would be impossible to put a cooler master noctua with silencio
Jesse Levenson: I love the case all ready
Aaron Zoom: Does this case support x99 motherboards?
Cooper Clark: did you film this on a iphone
Byron Her: the case itself is good, but who would want one in a lime green color, I mean it wouldn't match any gaming setup
Kenoshino: My new part which im waiting for to put togheter: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, Socket-1150 Cooler Master HAF X Nvidia Edition 1 Intel Core i7-4770K 1 Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 Blue LED Fan 2 Gainward GeForce GTX 770 4GB PhysX CUDA Seagate Barracuda® 1TB I got the Gtx770 put and running on my old setup cause not all parts have come yet so i noticed couple small problem which probably are due to my old setup however. Should i send back the GTX770 and get 780 insted it only like 90 euro more? Imean gtx 780 is so much better and i wont have to change anything for some time then... any thoughts guys?
shinigami7777: Sorry but this case is damn ugly, it is way to green. It looks like it's made by 12 year olds
niofalpha: Does this case support a 360mm Rad?
Speedbird: Imma build an AMD system in this...
Isaac Anderson: Ummm cant find this anywhere...any ideas?
Cyborg Techie: I would use this case, use Intel integrated graphics then have an R9-295X2 idling... freak the police.
muzosh: Puting an AMD graphics card into this Nvidia case is like fusioning goku and vegeta, you know. its only gets better XD
givingtnt: *buys Nvidia edition case* *puts a Radeon R9 290X in it*
KiLo Hellfire: before i get hate what if amd graphics and cpu was installed in this?
Sandy Lloyd Jr: Damn, I want this case!
Slenderzebe: I ordered it yesterday
TheMrBaus: *buys one and puts an AMD system in it*
MOJO JOJO: hi linus..i am a big fan of you...i wanted to ask if i can put a H100i IN THE TOP of the case...and if its better to put 2 200mm fans and a be quiet cooler..
KiLo Hellfire: omg he has a cougar power supply LOL i knew right from the cabels
FLYING PANDAS: This would make a sick case for a green themed watercooled build
The Freeman Initiative: This guy does by far the best unboxing videos on the entire internet, very swift and informative.
Kenneth Tay: hmm, wonder if Linus is into knives. That's an expensive pocket knife he has on his keychain. spyderco dragonfly, or delica, all stainless steel.
Kdude1707: 6:00 Uhm, Linus, um, stop, just... please stop fingering the grommets.
Ixelaz Hiroshi: It would be funny if someone bought this case and put in amd cards xD
Damian Cashman: VERY NICE CASE
AmatureEdits: Building my pc with this :D
Wittacon: I would drive that like I stole it.Mainly because I'm so broke that I probably steal it before I would ever be able to buy it XD
¬_¬ Dafuq?: I want that case so bad! Currently housing my set-up in a cm haf 912 plus.
TeamWFC: It looks so sexy, but I would never spend that kind of money on a case. I like my $50 Rosewill Challenger haha
alexander skeide: this case is sick with green watercooling, loving it, cable management is decent. only thing its really heavy, so after installing the custom watercooling its like trying to move a mountain. and yeah i got 2x amd GPU in it xD , failing at life :'(
Daytimerocker: Good review. I think near the beginning it showed some harddrive bay where the optical drive would be mounted, that seemed to slip his mind.
Colonel Veers: I want to buy this case and put a massive, red AMD card in it.
MrIbeHackin: i really want this case
Warq: Coolvidia

Configuration and change management with Bcfg2
A database lets you retrieve configuration information from more data sources. For example, you could automatically generate the DHCP, DNS, and NIS configuration data from a source such as a directory service. The example in Listing 5 shows how TCheetah on Debian configures the network interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces on the basis of data from a PostgreSQL database.
Listing 5
TCheetah-Configured network/interfaces
01 #from Bcfg2.Server.dbconnection import DBPgConnection 02 #silent result = DBPgConnection().execute( 03 "SELECT ip, netmask, broadcast, gateway \ 04 FROM hosts \ 05 WHERE hostname = '%s'" % $self.metadata.hostname) 06 07 auto eth0 08 iface eth0 inet static 09 address $result[0] 10 netmask $result[1] 11 broadcast $result[2] 11 gateway $result[3]
Configurations do not just apply to file entries. System services must be configured to reflect the runlevels. The Service generator reads the administrative information in Svcmgr/services.xml to discover how to configure, say, the NTP service.
To do so, the server references the service referred to as <service name= 'ntpd' /> in the matching bundle.
Then, services.xml is used to specify whether or not the client should start the service:
<Services priority='0'> <Service name='ntpd' status='on' /> </Services>
The generator converts these details to tangible configurations and sends them to the client, which then applies distribution-specific methods to enable or disable the service.
Bcfg2 does not replace the package manager, but it can have the effect of shifting more control from the package manager to the system administrator, who can use Bcfg2 to specify which version of which individual package the tool installs. XML files manage information about the available packages and synchronize the details with the installation server package selection. Multiple installation servers allow administrators to assign different priorities – for example, for security updates.
The Bcfg2 client compares global and local package versions and upgrades or downgrades accordingly. Administrators can freeze special versions by assigning them the highest priority.
Other generators configure directories, symlinks, and many other element types. Some more experienced administrators will appreciate the ability to use plugins to bind Python functions to the generators provided with the Bcfg2 distribution.

I would trust Google to be around for a while, to charge decent prices and provide useful tools to access the drive, and also I believe them when they say no human will see my stuff. Some other companies, such as Facebook, I don't trust nearly as much, because they seem to lack Google's commitment to be a trustworthy arbitrator of data.

Made this when my vegetarian son & DIL were here, so instead of chicken broth I used a homemade vegetable stock that I had & that worked just fine in the simple but tasty chicken soup! Will make it again, too! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block recipe tag]

Surrey RCMP is requesting the public's help in identifying a possible witness to a serious motor vehicle collision Wednesday that involved an off-duty RCMP officer.
Police said that at approximately 2:30 p.m., a two-vehicle collision happened at the intersection of 184th Street and 40th Avenue.
A Ford pickup truck was northbound on 184th Street approaching 40th Avenue when it collided with a Ford Explorer sport utility vehicle travelling eastbound on 40th Avenue.
The 29-year-old driver of the Explorer and her four-year-old male occupant were taken to hospital with minor injuries, while a nine-year-old female occupant was airlifted to hospital with serious, but non-life threatening, injuries. The 35-year-old driver of the pickup truck sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
The witness is believed to have been driving a dark Harley-Davidson-style motorcycle and was travelling behind the pickup truck at the time of the collision. It is believed he stopped to assist and may have spoken to one of the drivers before leaving the scene.
The driver of the pickup truck was an off-duty RCMP officer and the Independent Investigations Office is investigating the actions of the off-duty officer, while Surrey RCMP is investigating the actions of the other driver.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Apple Wants Patent On Video Game-Based iBooks 104
from the making-your-own-stories dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I think it's pretty cool that now you can get a patent on some stoned "what if" scenario.
"What if we could totally make like a comic book out of my game went? Wouldn't it be totally gnarly if I could make it like a comic book of my shenanigans dude?!"
It's funny those dickholes came up with literally just some idea probably 50,000 people have talked about at one point or another, and then add just a super-high level set of "details" on how to do it, the same details that anyone would come up with if asked how to do it. They like to throw in various specifics like "with an XBox" or "With a PS3" so they can claim it's specific.
Transparent dickholery.
Just because a system is broken doesn't mean it needs to be taken advantage of. Those that take advantage of it rather than fixing it ARE stupid. And greedy. And scum.
You are lost in the Swamps of Despair.

2003 Cadillac Escalade SUV AWD 4dr SUV (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
This is a great vehicle. It sounds like a muscle car when started. The only thing that I don't like is where the heated seat warmer button is. This is because every time I lock the door or open the window, I accidentally hit the stupid heated seat button, and the next thing I know, my butt is on fire (or it feels like it). This is very frustrating. Other than that, the truck is very reliable and has very good performance. It also turns heads. I love the halogen lights as well. Overall this is a great vehicle!

After my first week of owership I became very disappointed for about the next three months because it turned out that we wound up with an Escalade that had a lemon differential. Once the service department figured out what was wrong with the car and totally replaced the differential with a brand new one, my truck started spending more time with us instead of in the shop. Although it was fun driving all the different "new lenders" they gave us to drive while the car was in the shop.

2003 Cadillac Escalade SUV Rwd 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
We have been very happy with our Escalade. At about 70,000 the transmission went out and our extended warranty took care of. They did a repair and not a replacement. Other than that this has been a great truck. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a newer one next year.

I love the performance of the 2003 Cadillac Escalade as a whole. The gas mileage is tough, but it drives like a dream. I have owned Mercedes and Lexus and the comfort on this Escalade runs circles around those cars. I love how high it sits and the way it handles through mountains. I generally keep vehicles for three years, but I will keep this an extra year then buy the new model. It is super.

The Cadillac Escalade is a very nice SUV even eith gas prices rising. I bought a 2003 White Diamond Escalade and it draws attention when people see it going down the road. It enables me to carry all of my family at once and be comfortable. It also enables me (the driver) to be comfortable and have fun. Truly it is a good, stylish luxury vehicle.

I just baught a used 2003 Cadillac Escalade AWD. I love it. I have owned many cars and SUVs, from Lexus, Mercedes and many others. Not only does my Escalade look cool but it drives as good as it looks. I did put on 22" rims. Only problem with the wheels is the Escalade attracts alot of attention. Sometimes it can be unwanted attention but I wouldn't change a thing.

The only thing that has gone wrong for me is the front seat has poped off twice. The bottom of the seat material pops away from frame of seat and makes a loud noise every time. I do not care about the milage. I think it is fine for the weight of the car. I love my Escalade. I think Cadillac has got it right. It handles like a dream and turns on a dime. I love the interior but the clock is a little loud. I had a blowout on the freeway while on vacation with my family. The stability Track worked perfect and did not pull stopping straight as an arrow.

Really like this truck. Is
comfortable, has great visibility,
like the interior for the most part.
Exterior looks great! That counts for
something~right! Very easy to park,
brake & back up. Like the reverse
chimes, they are not annoying(like in
the Jag). Would prefer that the fake
wood was real (very very cheap~who
dropped the ball on that detail?
Demote him!) The interior is
definitely more cheaply stylized than
it should be. It is still a Cadillac
after all. Way too noisy for my taste.
But the soundproofing is very good.
Just hate slinking through
neighborhoods like a redneck. Exhaust
is too loud, this thing should purr or
at least make it an option.

Can, like I said I'm not sure, but they seem aware that there is a point up to which they can often get improvements in both frequency response and impulse response, but above which point correction can result in smearing of details and clarity. Earlier versions of Audyssey, for example, didn't do this and you can sometimes hear a dulling in the higher frequencies (their newer XT32 avoids this problem). Dirac seems to use a mix of filter types to properly correct in the lower frequencies while avoiding some of the ripples in the higher frequencies.

worthy test of our "Ultra" processors & speaker setups!!
Besides the jaw dropping bass (my wife at one point thought we had another earthquake - no kidding, since we just had one here in Southern Cal), did anyone notice this overhead flies sequence at 1:21:16? Right after Sandra Bullock surfaced from underwater, at 1:21:16, first a fly buzzing *directly* over audience right side, then over audience left rear, then it flies towards the screen where you now see it on screen! In the mean time, space ship debris racing right to left in the sky. Wow what an audio treat! I love the effort and talent of movie sound engineers!
The "overhead flies" sequence is THE most distinct overhead sound maneuver that I have ever heard, and of note, much more pleasing in 7:1 setup than in 5:1 setup, as the 7:1 setup makes the effect more distinctly in mid air above us in my system, pulls sound effect rearward, and expands soundstage, from besides audience to both besides and directly behind audience. Very spooky and my family all laughed incredulously when I pointed out they had just heard the flies overhead.
If you are at 5.1, I highly recommend it that you give 7.1 expansion a try. Even using cheap B&W in-ceiling speakers (1200/pair), I have been able to expand my system to 7.1 and dramatically change the soundscape.
I also have never had my chair vibrate so much in a movie LOL. In fact the whole floor was vibrating. From crystal clear conversation, to jaw dropping bass, to spectacular sound effects, yes, all the audiophile engineers have abandoned music for the theaters! :-)
ADDENDUM: Looking back, this thread should be renamed THE ULTIMATE OFF-TOPIC THREAD for all the off topic stuffs here :-). Feel free to add; anything goes.
LIST OF DEMO WORTHY MATERIAL: Over the years, many favorites but below are the ones I use over and over to demo the powerful and clean sound of my Theta Casablanca:
1. Super 8 - opening train wreck sequence: bombastic, frightening, makes my audience duck the flying debris. Among my all time favorite.
2. Gravity: unbelievable deep bass throughout movie, spectacular visual that's well coordinated with sound effect.
3. Chicago - Cell Block Tango: Musical, physical (Not the sound, the dancers :-). I love watching how powerful and beautiful the young dancers are., smooth mid-range and treble, transparent and layered soundstage. This is my "music" demo.
4. Gladiator - opening sequence: remains one of the most hair-raising movie openings. Can't take my eyes off Richard Harris's acting. This is the young and sitll good Russell Crowe.
5. Roy Orbison's Black and White Night: my all time favorite concert DVD. A once in a lifetime performance, fortunately recorded by an audiophile. Smooth & natural, of course not the level of my vinyl but as good as it gets for a digitally recorded concert.
Scene of the vibration :-):
Many, many times have I stopped a film, to get up and see who was at my door, or to answer the phone or see who was tapping on my window! This began with VHS tapes and got worse with DD and even worse with loss-less audio! My company will insist there is someone making noise, and even will try to catch me doing it!
The end of High end as we know it commences here. The zebra wood veneer differentiators, the cable elevators, spikes and huge single channel amplifiers, as much as we love that do you really think speakers will still be standing 3 feet from walls in the future home theater? Nope.
With more individuals endeavouring to develop technology that surpasses todays Audiophile stereo and 7.1 system in 3D fashion I venture to assure you all speakers will be either behind the screen or in the walls/ceilings (in 24-32 speaker counts). And electronics will get much better in recreating the stereo recording image soundstage and the discrete multichannel recordings' as well. Everything will play through these incredible refined surround speakers and object based psychoacoustic megaprocessors, tthe amplifiers will need to be racked cooled and hushed. YOU HEARD IT FIRST FROM ME > food for thought!
I had a chance to listen to a couple of AMT speakers: one is a two way, the other 4 ways; the only reason I have not written about the experience is I don't enjoying writing negative reviews.
I found the treble performance of the 2 way ESS AMT speaker, from "high-end audio" standpoint, to be quite prominent, to the point of being harsh and tizzy, oddly at the same time lacking details. The 4 way speaker with dual AMT drivers has less hole-in-the-middle problem and sounds much better, but, being close to the Wilson Audio room, illustrates starkly the lack of resolution, imaging focus, and layered soundstage against a SOTA speaker with conventional dome tweeter. Some people may like the sound of AMT driver (no right or wrong), but I would still caution it's a must to have an in-home audition of any 2 way AMT speakers, and opt for the 3 way if at all possible if music is part of the priority. They are possibly great for hometheater and the AMT Quested could likely be better, but the ones I hear are very far from being considered adequate for a top notch music system, IMHO and YMMV of course..
I test drove the Questeds and found the 2-way design very pleasing compared to my speakers and a Seaton Catalyst I had on hand. Don't get me wrong, Mark's speaker was excellent but I was looking for a wholesale change in sonics and the airiness and accuracy of the Questeds were better to my ears... And to others I had over that listened to them. Besides, I bought 5 Catalysts from Mark .
I also had them sent to Curt (Trinnov) for listening and measurements prior.
On the subject of AMT's well I'll agree that when these things are first fired out of the box the high frequencies sound like a Samurai Sword air cutting demonstration.
Seemed like an easy choice for me.
Domes cannot do loud SPLs and can fail at high output. I didn't even consider such for my theater as they need to be big to get over 115 db at 20 ft. An Achilles heal for me. If I had Aerials, for example, in my room, in a matter of minutes, I would fry their dome tweeters, have measurable driver compression and would have to give up up a perf screen due to their size.... And being so tall, how would I get heights behind the screen?
Moreover, I've known Peter for many years and have had dinner and been to shows together. Peter is an innovator who is constantly redefining the cutting edge. His input meant a lot and he knows I wanted something special.

And to others I had over that listened to them. Besides, I bought 5 Catalysts from Mark .
I also had them sent to Curt (Trinnov) for listening and measurements prior. If they were not going to be ideal for a reference theater, I didn't want to waste my time listening. I wanted a third party, non biased experienced listener to have them for a bit. Curt is incredibly talented and experienced with what great sonics are. I wanted his objective and subjective input. All was good and Curt shipped to me. Then I lived with them for 3 months calibrated by Curt and Trinnov room correction (with the other speakership I had on hand). Pretty ideal listening conditions and let me say, through the Questeds, my a ocelli Vivere' Blu Ray never sounded better!
I can't speak to the speakers Cannga listened to but apparently they weren't to his liking. But an across the board [negative] conclusion of a driver based on one or two designs is no more useful than saying that all dome speakers are bad because brand X and Y sounded bad for a few minutes at a show.
Let me also say that my email chain and across the pond phone calls on everything from crossover design, to running active or passive to custom designs on the surrounds made me feel like I was dealing with professional company that goes to all ends to have a satisfied customers. In making sure all front LCRS AND HEIGHTS would give at least 115 db at my primary listening position and all surrounds would reach a minimum of 105 dbs at my primary listening position, he would set up speakers in his factory and test max SPLS. We spent time on each speaker type, their particular mounting hardware and tweeter positioning. The photographs were great from his experiments on my behalf! A fantastic buying experience with Quested and Peter..
Unlike a few minutes at a show, I spent many hours in my own room with perfect room correction and they came out winners. Every speaker type has it's advantages and disadvantages. There is no perfect. You pick your poison and choose the one that best fulfills your needs.
I found them refreshing, powerful and bought a dozen of them.
Jeff, which Quested did you/Curt tested, the LT8? If so that's a different technology from what Peter and I are talking about.
The LT8 uses ribbon tweeter, not AMT tweeter. What you liked and Curt measured is not the AMT driver that Peter so loves.
Did you buy 5 Catalysts AND a bunch of Questeds??????? Great post BTW, and sounds like exceptional customer service.
The LT8 uses ribbon tweeter, not AMT tweeter. What you liked and Curt measured is not the AMT driver that Peter so loves.
Yes. In talking with Roger, we talked about the best speaker in a room my size. The cost difference between the LT10 and LT20 is relatively small and though I was willing to go to the LT20 he was adamant it was too much speaker in a room my size 28 X 17 X 9.5. We discussed 2way vs 3way design, crossovers and all else comparing these two speakers and the LT10 came out best for my theater application. Like Peter said, the 10" driver is a proprietary, big throw, unique design. In fact, though I ordered them so that I could either run them active or passive, he recommended passive with bridged Quested amps. Since I bought an amp for each LCR, I can easily convert to active if I so desire using the same stereo amp. None the less, I'm setting up active per his advice as he claims his passive crossover is pretty excellent.
It'd be great to get Roger here. He was a pleasure to deal with.
So with 7.1 is the general consensus to use the extra two amps as the rear rear location not front height?
I would use them for the rear location unless your seating is at or near the back wall and you don't have enough distance behind you for the rear speakers.
5.1 +2 heights might be a more interesting set-up once Atmos hits this fall. But at the moment I wouldn't trade rears for PLIIz or Neo:X heights.

Multiply the first equation by 7 and the second equation by 8.
49x -56y = -140
64x + 56y = 592
Now add the last two equations to eliminate y.

Great food, quiet and quaint beer cellar ambience. We ordered beers, wine, and food, all of which were great. Not too crowded either.
as I was, when we visited the Ratskeller for the first time on a return trip to Rgbg, you will get it at the Ratskeller.

The Regensburger Ratskeller is situated in a historic building in the "Regensburger Altstadt". The interior is promising with the vaulted ceiling and the medieval theme based decorations. Despite that the restaurant was jam-packed with guests, we had the luck to obtain a comparative quiet table, because the occupants of that table were just leaving. Ordering large beers we sat down,...
Very affordable and in the city centre, nice for some beers and have a good time... staff is very friendly, unlike a lot of parts in Europe, in Regensburg this seems to be common.
We arrived into Regensburg after a tiring journey and fell over the Ratskeller on a wet evening. It was exactly what we needed, good beer, reasonable food and excellent service. We'd go there again.
From the outside it looks very inviting, but it's a bit beer and skittles rather than white tablecloths and wine. Food was disappointing too. Great location but poor utilisation of what should be a first class venue.
We were driving from Prien am Chiemsee to Dresden. Regensburg was a perfect lunch stop. The town is well preserved and interesting. The old Town Hall is a landmark in its own right. The Ratskeller is a historic place. We chose to sit outside and absorb the number of cruise ship groups walk by with guides, the city bus making...
