Wireless Headsets and PC Cases Added To Vengeance Lineup
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling | April 5, 2012 - 03:47 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: vengeance, headset, gaming, corsair, case
Corsair announced today that a new wireless headset and gaming PC case would be joining the ranks of the existing Vengeance lineup of headsets and keyboards. Making their initial debut at PAX East this weekend, the new Vengeance 2000 wireless headset and Vengeance C70 Case will be available for purchase later this year.
The Vengeance 2000 is Corsair's latest headset that takes the brushed aluminum, 50mm drivers, and microfiber ear cups of the Vengeance 1500, adds some blue and white accents and then cuts the cord. In pace of the USB cord, Corsair utilizes 2.4 GHz wireless to deliver 5.1 and 7.1 virtual surround sound up to 40 feet away and with a battery life of 10 hours. The headset further features a noise canceling microphone and battery that can be recharged via micro USB cable.
From the wording of the press release, it sounds like the charging cable will only act as a power cable -- meaning it will not make the headset wired. The wireless 2.4GHz radio may be problematic for gamers living in areas with lots of 2.4GHz interference (like an apartment building with lots of WiFi devices and microwaves), and in that case the wired Vengeance 1500 would be a better choice. (We are attempting to verify the wireless only aspects and will update the article if we receive a response). Update: Corsair has clarified to us that the headset is always wireless -- the USB cable is only used for charging and firmware flashing.
Arriving with two carrying handles and an ammo box aesthetic, the Vengeance C70 is ready for the war against heat with space for up to 240mm radiators (they suggest the H100) on the top and bottom or 10 total case fans. The case further features a steel front panel, eight PCI-E slots, and two removable hard drive cages with space for three 2.5" or 3.5" drives (for a total of six hard drives). The PCI-E slots and other internals use standard Philips head screws.
The Vengeance C70 will be available in three colors: Military Green, Arctic White, Gunmetal Black. The external of the the case features large mesh grills over the fan areas. The front of the case features a honeycomb mesh for up to two fans, three 5.25" drive bays, and -- along the top -- two large buttons for power and reset with the power being the large red button (which would be difficult to resist pressing all the time). It also houses microphone and headphone jacks, and two USB 3.0 ports. All three C70 cases have two carrying handles on the top that fold down into recessed parts of the case when not being used.
The two new Vengeance entrants will be available this summer. The C70 will be available for purchase soonest -- as early as May -- with an MSRP of $139 USD. Meanwhile, the Vengeance 2000 wireless headset has an MSRP of $149 USD and will be available in June. More information on Corsair's entire Vengeance gaming lineup is available here.
Fancy a peek at the Diablo III beta?

Tagged: gaming, diablo iii
While we cannot offer you a way to get into the beta, it is possible to show off a game play movie made by Slashdot, or two. The release of this gaming is fast approaching with just over a month to the May 15th release date ... assuming no more delays occur. From the video we learn that the developers have made the stats autolevel so that players do not have to worry about breaking their character with poor stat choices. Many skills will be tied to the equipment you are wearing and so will not be a permanent choice, swapping your equipment will change your skills. Hopefully Slashdot is right when they state the developers spent a lot of time toning down the tedium and raising the level of fun.
"It's been almost four years since Diablo 3 was announced, and its development began years earlier. Its predecessors helped define the action RPG genre, so anticipation is high among fans of the franchise. The game has undergone closed beta testing since September, and a lot has changed since then. Now that Blizzard has settled on May 15th as a release date, we thought this would be a good time to take a look at the state of the game as it currently exists. These two videos show actual gameplay of the various classes, explain the skill and rune systems, take a look at the auction house, and go over many of the other changes since the beginning of development."

How much GPU power does Commander Shepard need to save the galaxy?

Tagged: mass effect 3, gaming
[H]ard|OCP set out to see just how much you can get from Mass Effect 3 with a powerful GPU. On the test bench from AMD was an HD 7970 and a 7950 while from NVIDIA a GTX 580 and 570 were tested. All were tested at 2560x1600 with FXAA, 16X AF and Dynamic Shadows, with MLA enabled on the AMD cards and every single card provided more than adequate performance. Since that went so well, they dropped down to an HD 7870, 7850 and 7770 from AMD and a GTX 560 Ti with only the HD 7770 having to reduce settings at 2560x1600. Obviously this game was designed by the Anti-Bay; with the emphasis on story and not pretty explosions.
"The final instalment in the Mass Effect saga has arrived to give gamers their sci-fi war and romance fixes. But does the game offer hardware enthusiasts anything? Does it have any cutting edge technology to make our high-dollar video cards worthwhile? Does it make us glad we spent our hard-earned dollars upgrading or does it leave us flat?"

Wing Commander Saga; a rebuild by fans for fans
Subject: General Tech | March 21, 2012 - 04:04 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gaming, wing commander, mod
There is some incredible news for those of you who have purchased old Wing Commander games from GOG, as well as those of you who've though about it but prefer the memories of the game they've already formed. A group of modders has taken the engine behind FreeSpace 2 and created Wing Commander Saga, which spans a time period from just before the beginning of Wing Commander 3 and takes you through to the end of the Terran-Kilrathi War. On top of the vastly improved graphics and features like autopilot are dozens of cinematics throughout the game, thousands of lines of original dialog and large scale fleet battles. Do not despair if this is the first you are hearing about it for the release date is tomorrow! Check out Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn here.
"Any old-school PC gamer worth his salt has spent some time dogfighting in space in Wing Commander, or at least is familiar with the series that first took flight in 1990. Heck, even Mark Hamill (better known as Luke Skywalker) lent his voice acting talents to the third installment, Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger. If you have fond memories of flying through space in the 1990s, you'll be happy to know that fans of the franchise are nearly finished with a massive followup."

Tagged: Mechwarrior, gaming
Though not a single player game in any sense of the word, MechWarrior has finally come back to the PC in the form of a free to play online game. Think of it as a large Solaris VII Arena where two teams of 12 mechs compete for domination. You don't have to restrict yourself to assault mechs either, as effective scouting with smaller mechs will net you the same experience awards as blowing the leg off of an opposing mech. For those who want a more persistent experience you can join a mercenary company or if you prefer to just jump into battle like Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN had the chance to do then jump into a cockpit and lay waste to your enemies in the newest implementation of the Crytek 3 engine.
"It's been ten years since the last MechWarrior game. Which seems odd, since the idea of stomping around in giant robots is such a popular one. But now the license has been put in the hands of Piranha Games, and it's going online, and MechWarrior Online is going free to play. I saw it in action at GDC, so read on for my report."

Introduction, LAN Fest, Game Demos, Future of Gaming panel
Check out our video coverage of the SXSW Screenburn Arcade!
The 19th Annual South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival kicked off on Mar. 9 and wraps up Mar. 12 in Austin, Texas. While most of the event featured interactive workshops and panels of experts from within the web development and social media communities, I focused most of my efforts covering the SXSW Screenburn Arcade at the Palmer Event Center. This is where most of the PC and console gaming enthusiasts attending SXSW converged to watch pro gamers from the IGN Pro League battle in League of Legends, Starcraft II, and check out several game demos like Lollipop Chainsaw for the XBox 360 and Quantum Conundrum and FireFall for the PC.
Intel LAN Fest
I also had the opportunity to visit the Intel-sponsored, non-profit LANFest where event visitors could jump on one of their Alienware systems and play a variety of PC games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Team Fortress 2, MineCraft, Half Life 2 Death Match, WArsaw, Alien Swarm, Portal, World of Tanks, and Left 4 Dead 2 . LAN participants paid a $5 donation to play, which helped raise funds that will be sent to the city of Bastrop, Texas that lost more than 400 homes because of wildfires last September. They also raffled off a new ASUS Ultrabook to raise money for the United Way non-profit organization.

Alleged NVIDIA GK104 Kepler GTX 670 Ti Photo Leaked
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 8, 2012 - 03:41 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: nvidia, kepler, graphics card, gpu, GK104, gaming, 28nm
GDC 2012 is upon us, and in addition to the Samaritan demo and some gaming goodness, we spotted a leaked image over at Legit Reviews that is allegedly a photo of a production NVIDIA GTX 670 Ti graphics card.
The cooler looks to cover the whole PCB and be of the blower design, funneling hot air of the of the front of the card and out of the case. The connectors include two DVI, one HDMI, and one Display Port. Rumors suggest that the latest NVIDIA cards will be capable of multi-display (>2) from a single card much like AMD cards have been doing for some time.
Not a whole lot is known about the upcoming GK104 "Kepler" GPUs with a good deal of certainty, but we have reported on a few leaks including that the cards will have 2 GB of GDDR5 RAM on a 256 bit memory bus, and that the cards may just be coming out in May. Due to Epic using a working Kepler GPU in their Samaritan demo, that launch date does not sound too far fetched either. On the performance front, there are conflicting rumors; some rumors state that the cards will blow AMD out of the water and other people swear the cards will not be as powerful as the rumors suggest. I suppose we'll find out soon though!
Are you still waiting for NVIDIA's Kepler GPUs or have you jumped on the latest Radeon series?
PC Gaming Alliance Announces Record PC Game Sales in 2011
Subject: General Tech | March 7, 2012 - 01:30 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: sales, record, pcga, PC, gaming
In two surprising bits of news, the PC gaming alliance is not only still alive and kicking, but their recent report indicates that the PC games industry saw record sales numbers in 2011. The consortium reported that worldwide PC game sales hit $18.6 billion last year, a year over year increased of 15%. The initial numbers definitely seem to suggest that PC gaming is nowhere near dead.
The PCGA states that the rise in sales is due to increases in the Chinese PC games market and the rise in popularity of Free-to-Play games like TF2, Star Trek: Online, League of Legends, and World of Warcraft (which has a free component), and many others. The integration of some of the most popular Free to Play games into Valve's Steam store certainly didn't hurt either!
Further, the release of several big hit titles including Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Saints Row: The Third, and Portal 2, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution (my pick for PC Per Game of the Year) all contributed to the record sales numbers on the PC. According to the article, Asian publisher Tencent launched League of Legends and is now bringing in 11 million players (though it's likely that not all of those players are active and/or spend money on the service) and will be surpassing Activision as the company making the most money off of PC games. Zynga, the company behind many of the annoying time sinks popular Facebook games, continued to rake in a boatload of money with 2011 revenue of $1.1 billion.
Not only did the PC gaming alliance report these positive numbers for 2011, but they predict that the PC games industry will continue to grow. As digital distribution systems catch on and broadband connections continue to improve and spread into new areas (though Verizon and AT&T aren't helping matters by stopping further roll outs of FIOS and Uverse), the PCGA predicts that the industry will grow to $25.5 billion, which would be a 37% rise in four years. If the growth rate continues in Asian markets and publishers continue to back down from DRM in favor of producing more titles that people want to buy, their predicted growth is certainly achievable. More information on the PCGA report can be found here along with the full press release here(PDF).
Blizzard Letting 600 Employees Go
Subject: General Tech | February 29, 2012 - 09:53 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: gaming, business, blizzard
Blizzard recently announced that they analyzed their current business needs and have decided to perform a global reduction of their workforce to streamline operations. The bad news upfront is that this reduction in workforce entails the company letting go approximately 600 employees worldwide. They have stated that the majority of departments being cut are not related to the game development divisions
More specifically, they stated that 90% of the employee reductions will be from departments not related to game development. Also, they noted that the World of Warcraft (WoW) development team "will not be impacted." Blizzard believes that the cuts were a necessary part of decisions relating to a company with changing needs in an ever evolving industry. CEO and co-founder Mike Morhaime, stated that they are proud of the contributions those effected by the announcement have made for Blizzard and they "wish them well as they move forward."
Job cuts are never an easy decision, especially for the employees. I wish them all the best of luck in continuing their careers and other future endeavors.
No you can't be a Syndicate on your own, you need partners
Subject: General Tech | February 29, 2012 - 12:20 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ea, gaming, syndicate, co-op
If Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN makes allusions to a My Little Pony game being more like Syndicate than the new FPS version recently released then you know there is a problem. The single player has changed from a top down view of a living city in which you go about nefariously manipulating circumstances to put your Syndicate at the top of the pile you are now a grunt running and gunning and fighting boss battles. The review was not entirely negative once they tried the co-op mode which allows up to four friends to take on the AI on maps which are won by fulfilling mission objectives as well as slaughtering your opponents. Bonus points for basing these maps on themes recognizable from the original versions of the game.
"They're not entirely wrong, though it depends on the My Little Pony game. If it was squad-based game set in large, civilian-packed environments and documented a turf war between Ponies (presumably fought by throwing berries at each other or offering stern lessons on treating people nicely), it would certainly be a lot more like Syndicate than a first-person shooter with gigantic guns, infuriating boss fights, an underbaked psychic-hacking mechanic and a plot cobbled unegagingly together from over-familiar bits of The Bourne Identity, The Matrix, Robocop and Half-Life 2."

Would You Rather Eat Lunch or Dinner Out?

I enjoy lunch. There are usually less people, it is cheaper, and if I overdo it, it is much easier to go easy on dinner than to remember to go easier the whole next day.

Saving on lunch by bringing homemade lunch to the office in order to have a nice treat on friday or saturday dinner!
4 years
Dinner out on Friday nights. It is the one night my friends and I splurge on a great meal and bottle of wine at a local restaurant.
4 years
Before I had kids, I would eat out for lunch once or twice a week, because I was being frugal and bringing lunch to work with me. Eating lunch at a restaurant always feels like a necessity - I'm out and need to eat - while dinner out feels like a treat, an occasion. Now that I'm a SAHM, every meal is made and eaten at home, so the once a month I get a date night with my husband, dinner in a restaurant is really special.
4 years
i try to do both only about once a week. i prefer dinner though because i can drink during it and don't have to go back to the office!
4 years
i would like both a lot more (if it were in my budget) but i would say lunch because its less expensive.
4 years
I'd rather eat dinner out simply because I never get to. With a two year old who can't sit still, dinner out is not really an option.
4 years
Nothing like going to a plaza for lunch....a beer or 2....light lunch...sun...people watching....my only question is ...plaza mayor or plaza menor?
4 years
Lunch is usually cheaper, and I don't feel as rushed in some places as I do for dinner. I don't tend to eat out during the week as much, for lunch or dinner. And if I eat a big lunch, I don't usually need a big dinner
4 years
i see benefits to both! during the week, i prefer bringing my lunch and meeting friends for dinner..on weekends i function in reverse...i enjoy brunches at restaurants and making dinner at home...
4 years
lol... I guess I am weird because I really prefer lunch over dinner.
This is just in my experience, it may be different for others but there are several things I love about lunch.
The nice day light, dressing light, eating light lunches with light drinks. It's usually more relaxed whereas dinner can be kine or a show. I just feel more relaxed doing lunch, and I prefer it.
Even in winter, it's nice to dress up and casually sip lattes with my meals and totally relax.
I guess I am just more of a comfort seeker.
4 years
Generally it depends for me. I try to bring lunch to work because I don't necessary like the options at my job's cafeteria. If I work from home, I'll choose to order out for lunch because it is less expensive than the dinner option, plus when working at home I do have more time to prepare dinner. Weekends are different in that a dinner out is always a nice treat.

The Democrat's Dilemma
page: 1
log in
posted on Apr, 5 2007 @ 02:22 PM
Dilemma: How to play politics with the White House in 2007 and 2008 tactically well enough to gain another victory at the polls on November 4, 2008. To leave the impression with the voters that the Dems are "in charge" and can "get things done." Which might be at sharp variance with reality. But as Justin Oldham says, perception IS reality in politics.
It's now 4 months 28 days (04/05) since the November election. The Dems did better in the House than pundits expected, winning 233 seats out of the 435 seats. Republicans lost 27 seats, down to 202. Out of 74.2 million votes nationwide, the Dems polled 39.3 million while the GOP received 34.9 million votes. (I apologize for not knowing the breakdown of the 5 House delegates who are getting expanded voting rights in the Pelosi House). The Dems were barely able to pass the Supplemental Funding Bill for the Iraq and Afghan Wars. 218 yea votes. The barest minimum.
In the Senate, the Dems did better than the pundits predicted. But not so well as to be comfortable. That takes 60 seats. In the prior Congress the GOP had 55 seats. The Dems managed a 51 to 49 split. Not so good for the Dems though. Sen. Johnson of South Dakota is out due to a stroke, and probably out for good. He can't quit because the state's Republican governor promised to appoint a Republican to fill the vacancy.
Senator Joe Lieberman of CT is now an Independent, but he votes with the Dems to organize the Senate, giving them a 50 to 49 majority. Senator Lieberman has a McCain-like stance on the Iraq War. He refuses to support the Dems policies against Pres. Bush's handling of the War.
Any tie vote in the Senate will be broken by VP Cheney which means a tie is a loss for the Dems. On the Supplemental Funding vote, Lieberman stayed with the Dems but forced them to change the language from the House bill which calls for troop withdrawal at a time certain, to an indefinite non-binding recommendation of a withdrawal.
Over the next 2 weeks, the two bills will be reconciled in a Conference Committee made up of equal numbers of members from each chamber. Probably 3 to 2, Dems to GOP, from the House and Senate, making 10 members total. The committee's recommendation goes back to each chamber for a final up or down vote. Unless the Dems can persuade a GOP senator to either switch - unlikely - or not to vote - possible, then it is such that Lieberman still holds a veto in this instance.
Each of the 2 houses of Congress pose vastly different problems for the respective leadership, regardless of which party is in control. To begin with, senators run state-wide and have a much stronger political base to work from. Senators face issues more nearly resembling national issues. Senators have a lengthy 6 year term of office. Look at the super effort it took to get rid of Tom Daschle in 2004. It included a personal breach of senate ethics by Bill Frist who was the first Majority Leader to campaign against a sitting member.
House members OTOH, even if from gerrymandered districts and excluding those 1 member states, represent relatively compact and geographically if not politically homogenous populations. House members have short 2 years term in office. While this puts them "closer" to the people, it also means they have to divide their time between serving the country - they are Federal officeholders first - and "running" for re-election. Either job is a full-time job. The House has a very different constituency than senators. This means the House and Senate do not always agree easily on critical issues.
History's most powerful speaker was 1903-1911's Missouri Republican Joe Cannon, popularly called "Mighty Joe" Cannon. He was the successor to 1890s Republican Thomas Reed, nicknamed "Czar" Reed. Speaker Cannon controlled the Rules Committee with an iron grip. He wrote the House rules. He personally appointed committee members and designated the chairmen. He would not permit a newly elected member to speak on the floor in his first year and then either wrote the speech or personally edited the first speech. OK, enough on that.
Gradually the general membership took back power that had accreted to the speakership. Dennis Hastert, with the co-operation of the Republican majority took back many powers, including the dubious "power" to deny the opposition the right to offer amendments on the floor on final passage. The first woman speaker, Nancy Pelosi, has pledged not to return to a Hastert speakership. It is not so much that she might not like to, tit for tat, or what goes around comes around, but it is a distinct disservice, an abuse of power, to the United States of America to deny half the people's chosen representatives the opportunity to at least make a record even if it is certain they are about to lose a vote.
The Senate has been much more collegial over the 218 years under the current constitution. There have been lapses, the last Majority Leader, Bill Frist, threatened to change the Senate rule on cloture - to halt debate - in order to get his way over several of Bush43's judicial nominations.
Mr Frist valued those appointments more highly than a tradition that had been in the Senate rules first written in 1789. To be accurate, the rule had been changed in 1964 when the rule was changed from the original 2/3rds vote requirement to the current 3/5ths vote requirement (which are called "super majorities"). This change was essential to be able to pass civil rights laws over the filibusters of the Deep South senators.
So here we are in 2007. The House Dems got 218 votes. Out of 233. Not all of those are certain on every issue. It is the traditional function of the #3 House Whip to keep the members "in line." That is James Clyburn of SC, while Steny Hoyer of MD is the Majority Leader, #2 to Nancy Pelosi. Harry Reid of NV is the Majority Leader, and managed to get 50 votes on the Supplemental bill. The senior post of President Pro Tem goes to long time Senator Robert Byrd of WV beginning his 9th term. Senator Durbin of IL is the Whip and Senator Schumer of NY is #3, the Chairman of the Democratic Campaign Committee.
Here's my ideological breakdown of the US electorate. 5% Liberal, 10% Leaning Liberal, 15% Conservative, 30% Leaning Conservative, and 40% Moderate or Centrist. If this same breakdown holds with the 535 Members of Congress, then it stands to reason that the final product of both the House and Senate will be some kind of compromise all parties of widely differing views can live with. Sometimes Congress is referred to as the Article 1 branch, from the Constitution.
The president, OTOH, is one person. Once he determines on a course of action, he can implement it throughout the executive branch of government. This not only gives the office of president power, it also gives it the public appearance of coherent leadership which in turn inspires public confidence.
Our current president seems to be operating from a very limited background in foreign affairs and world history. He is less likely than most of his predecessors to change his mind in public. He tolerates no dissenters. He would speak to no one outside a too small clique of insiders, until the November 7 election forced him to take a new look at the Iraq War.
Now, he seems to be lost, first firing his Secretary of Defense, then rejecting the ISG Report that offered him a way out with potential disgrace to be shared with the Dems maybe but the ISG for sure. Then he moved his DNI - Negroponte - over to #2 at State, and replaced him with another old man, a retired Admiral, at DNI. Despite his claim to want to cooperate with the newly empowered Democrats, he has consulted on none of the changes. It is apparent his vision of co-operation differs from that of most people. It is now being watched daily what he will do with his long time friend and personal lawyer Alberto Gonzales, who as they say, has crapped in his own nest.
Some commentators say Bush43 has been marginalized. That the Congress will have to find ways to work around him. I doubt that can happen. I think Bush43 is a "hands-off" executive type. He actually thought FEMA was doing a good job in New Orleans when he complimented his appointee, "You're doing a heck of a job, Brownie." Hans Christen Andersen wrote it best, in "The Emperor's New Clothes." Or worse, he reminds me of Mizaru, who covered his eyes, to see no evil, Kikazaru whose covered ears hear no evil and Iwazaru, who covered his mouth, to speak no evil. The 3 Japanese monkeys. As George Bush has said over and over, I AM THE DECIDER.

I'll be honest with you. I don't honestly think that the Democrats can gain the white house in 2008. Obama is their most viable candidate, but most people don't know enough about him to vote for him in good conscience. Hilary?
I think her bid is a joke to be honest.

Password Protect a Document?
Is there a way to password protect a document or an app that would let me put some notes somewhere in the phone with a reasonable level of password protection? I do have the Passcode enabled on the phone, but was hoping there is a way to have a second level of security for some notes, passwords, etc. that I want to have available when I am traveling.
As I have both an iPhone4 and an iPad, the ideal solution would be something that would work on both types of hardware. Ideas?
Thanks in advance. -
if your storing passwords for things password wallet works well and I think it works on both
I answer questions to the best of my knowledge if im wrong please correct me - 12-18-2012, 09:42 AM #3
Re: Password Protect a Document?
You can use Doc Vault, it does exactly what you asked for.
It creates a separate area which is protected with an additional pass key (or dot lock security).
It allows to protect any type of file, included is a separate browser that allows to hide the history and it also comes with a tool to create pdf.

Zimmermann Upright Piano - Beautiful music from a Beautiful Piano
Stamford hill £700.00- Posted
- 1175 days ago
Zimmermann is a German piano maker and brand name. The company founder worked for the piano company Steinway & Sons in New York City, United States, before starting his own factory in Leipzig, Germany, in 1884.
As business grew, the Zimmermann company expanded to a second factory in 1904. By 1912 over 10,000 pianos were being built a year making it one of the Europes largest piano manufacturer. Later, it became a global piano exporter within over 400,000 instruments sold world-wide.
In 1992, the C. Bechstein AG took over the company[1] and incorporated it in his Product Range. Modern Zimmerman pianos are produced in Saxony like all Bechstein Instruments, where the Bechstein company has regrouped its production facilities.
We bought this piano about 30 years ago from Selfridges for our musically talented daughter to learn on. It saw her through her childhood and education and she is know a sought after piano teacher.
We must sadly party with our piano now because no-one uses it and we would love for it to go to a warm and loving home.
There is very little wear. A few of the keys have learning stickers on them which can be taken off with care and one of the keys enamel has gotten detached but can easily be glued back on. We have recently had it tuned and overstrung and it sounds perfectly pitched.
Please see the pictures.
Any reasonable offers will be considered.

Quote narcoman:Honestly - I would just walk away from a deal like that. It's promoting shoddy practise and just won't be worth your while..... unless you feel it's worthwhile for one single punt.
Quote bugiolacchi:As a curio... did this company give you any form of advance, i.e. the full recording costs and promotion for instance? Or did you just handed in the masters?This would make a lot of difference in the end..If they only took your finished product, then I will print your CDs and sell them back to you at £0.90 cents, leaving me with a neet profit and higher profit margins for you! Plus, if I sell a few CDs myself, or even, dare I say, your music takes off, I will have you 'signed up' and in for real dosh! Are they so clever?
Quote petev3.1:I find it hard to believe that someone would offer just 50 pence a go when there are no upfront costs and therefore no risk, not even any manufacturing. And even less if the purchaser lives overseas, for reasons that are incomprehensible to me. They must have an amazing marketing team to make such a deal worthwhile. Still, perhaps they do. Seems to me you're just paying them £5.50 for each sale, which doesn't sound cheap. Does this company specialise in this sort of simple marketing/licensing deal, as opposed to longer term deals with artists etc? I've thought for a while that this is a good biz model nowadays, but 50p an album is derisory imho. To me it suggests that the company isn't very confident of its own abilities or doesn't think a lot of the album. But I'm rather naive about all this. Maybe things really have got this bad.
Quote sthum:God... .50p per album... That sounds awful low... I think I'll just pack it in now Where can I check out your music?
Quote Dave B:You mention a price for the CD - out of interest, what are you being offered for the download? Would this company expect to release it as a download, or would you be able to do that yourself? Also, is this just a distribution deal or does it cover the publishing?Me, I was a DIY man myself in the day (and may be again soon) but I dealt in small runs so it made more sense for me to do it.
Quote basilfawlty:It seems to me that the company is maxing out on long shelf life. 95% of their business is from physical sales, and they never reduce the price. So, yes, short-term I'm not ordering a Bentley but I'm interested in seeing how the long-tail pans out...The distribution network is substantial particularly in the US and Europe, so my thoughts are that I'm looking at a small slice of an enormous pie, as opposed to a large slice of bugger all - which is probably what I'd get if I relied on my own marketing expertise!
Quote narcoman:Quote basilfawlty:It seems to me that the company is maxing out on long shelf life. 95% of their business is from physical sales, and they never reduce the price.

That doesn't matter - it's just not in line with the rest of the world. You should be looking at 12% on PPD plus 8.5% on publishing against PPD. So a total 20.5%.... Even with a cut throat USA model you're still looking at 8% retail for master and 6.5% retail for publishing..... still 14.5%. It's just way way too low....... the clues are in the biz plan. If they sold any kind of bulk then they'd be certain of recoup at their end early on. It sounds very much like they sell small numbers of CDs over a long period that, with a larger catalogue, allows them to make a comfortable income en masse but fek all for their artists/content providers.They sound like an unfair bunch of music leeches!!! Double it and you might be talking.....
Quote basilfawlty:Hi All,I've been given a contract for my new album by a label which states that I get 50p for each album sold in the UK and 35p everywhere else. Is this about right? The label has a big distribution network and the albums (mainly sold in CD form) go for around £10 each.Any advice much appreciated!
Quote R_A:How many do you expect to sell (based on the sales figures of other artists on the label)?
Quote narcoman:so they'd gross £20k and you'd get £400 !!! Well.... up to you I guess!!!
Quote basilfawlty:Plus its long-tail - there's no sell-by date on this kind of thing.
Quote Scramble: If it's your pride and joy that you've slaved over and you're going to work hard on helping to promote then I wouldn't let these people anywhere near it. If it's in-between then I'd still release it myself. £400 is just not worth it. Or is it that you want to get the name known? (I presume it's just a one-album deal and you keep the rights to the name.)Having listened to it, it's never going to sell like Enigma -- Enigma sold a lot because as well as having catchy melodies, people bought it as, er, bedroom music.
Quote Dave B:If you can sell over 150 yourself then it becomes financially viable. I'm reckoning on a cost of about a grand to get at least 500 CDs made including glass mastering and some artwork. (Someone please shout if this old fogey is way out here - but I'm fairly sure that's what it was about 10years ago). So you'd have to see 100 just to break even. Then about another 50 to cover the 400quid you'd make from the record company.Surely there must be enough of an Electronica scene here in the UK to support that!

This year's Black List is up -- which screenplay will be plucked from obscurity?
Since 2004, film development executive Franklin Leonard has set up an annual list -- called The Black List -- of the best screenplays that have been sitting around, collecting dust, waiting for a producer to get the wheels in motion. Former Black Listers include the Oscar-winning Juno by Diablo Cody and nominee Lars and the Real Girl by Nancy Oliver. So, who will get lucky this year? Among the scripts listed this year are Ground Control to Major Tom by Jason Micallef, Fuck Marry Kill by Neel Shah and Alex Blagg (to which I say "FINALLY"), and Seuss by Eyal Podell and Jonathan Stewart, among many other interesting titles. (via Deadline)

COLUMBIA — John Burns hopes an upcoming golf tournament raises enough money for his team to get new basketball uniforms this year.
The Hickman boys basketball head coach needs $6,100 from the Aug. 29 fundraiser to replace the team's 4-year-old uniforms.
"The uniform money is like a capital outlay and does not come from a team's budget for the school year," said Burns, a new coach this year.
Burns is among the coaches in the Columbia Public School District who have had to find other means of income for their teams because of the past two years of cuts by the School Board.
When the School Board approved the 2009-10 district budget in June, it cut $17,000 from the athletics department's budget.
As a result, Hickman and Rock Bridge high schools each lost $5,500, Jefferson, Oakland and West junior high schools lost $1,500 each and Gentry, Lange and Smithton middle schools lost $500 each, said Columbia Public Schools Athletic Director Bruce Whitesides.
For the coming year, each high school will receive $121,500, each junior high will receive $15,900 and each middle school will receive $3,679 for transportation, supplies, and referee and umpire fees.
Last year, the athletics department received a $51,000 budget reduction. With this second year of cuts, Jennifer Mast, athletic director of Rock Bridge High School, said the department is "getting down to the bare bones."
"Even though this year's cut is not as large, there's less cushion to help deal with it," she said.
The biggest concern with the budget reductions lies with transportation. Because of a lack of local competition, a majority of the athletics budget is spent to send athletes across the state.
The athletics department has renewed its district transportation contract, Whitesides said.
"I hope the price of gas stays the same," he said.
To cover the additional funding needed for local teams, Columbia Public Schools' sports rely heavily on booster clubs and parental support.
Kate Harry, former president of the Rock Bridge booster club, said the group bought equipment and supplies for 16 teams this past year.
Rock Bridge booster club member Heidi Miles helps organize the "For the Love of the Game" fundraiser, a dinner auctioning night entering its seventh year this November.
"What keeps me involved year after year is that you're touching the lives of so many kids," she said. "I mean, some kids are motivated regardless, but if we can maintain the reason they stay involved, let's do it."
Mark Dressler, a sports representative for boys basketball and former president of the Rock Bridge booster club, thinks the club can handle the cut to the athletics department's budget.
"I think the economy will have a larger impact on the fundraising, but we have a very supportive school community that helps us when there is a need," Dressler said.
Mast said Rock Bridge's athletics will try to distribute this year's budget reductions as fairly as possible.
Hickman High School Athletic Director Doug Mirts said he plans to uphold the same standards as previous years for the school's 18 athletic programs, but he expects there to be some "tightening."
"It'll take a little extra work and some parent efforts, but we're going to maintain everything," he said.
The athletics department's budget, including coaches' salaries, is less than 1 percent of the School District's budget or just under $1 million, Whitesides said.
With plans for a new high school in the future, Whitesides said they will have to reorganize funds if budget reductions continue.
"We'll have to cross that bridge when we get there," he said.

Title: | Taguchi method applied to parametric appraisal of erosion behavior of GF-reinforced polyester composites |
Authors: | Mahapatra, S S Patnaik, A Satapathy, Alok |
Keywords: | Erosion Rate GF-Polyester Composites Taguchi Method ANOVA Genetic Algorithm |
Issue Date: | 2008 |
Publisher: | Elsevier |
Citation: | Wear, (Accepted Post-print) |
Abstract: | Polyester composites reinforced with three different weight fractions of woven E-glass fiber reinforcement are developed. To study the effect of various operational and material parameters on erosive wear behavior of these composites in an interacting environment erosion tests are carried out. For this purpose, air jet type erosion test rig and the design of experiments approach utilizing Taguchi's orthogonal arrays are used. The findings of the experiments indicate that the rate of erosion of composites by impact of solid erodent is greatly influenced by the control factors. An optimal parameter combination is determined, which leads to minimization of erosion rate. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is performed on the measured data and S/N (signal to noise) ratios. A correlation derived from the results of Taguchi experimental design is proposed as a predictive equation for estimation of erosion wear rate of these composites. It is demonstrated that the predicted results obtained using this equation are consistent with experimental observations. Finally, optimal factor settings for minimum wear rate are determined using genetic algorithm. |

Tikka T3 Hunter .243 range report
I took my recently acquired Tikka T3 Hunter in .243 Winchester to the range today. I was shooting 58gr Hornady Z-max bullets in PPU brass loaded with Varget from 41.0 gr to 43.0 gr in 0.5 gr increments. CCI Large rifle primers, COL ~2.601.
Each load was 10 rounds, e.g. 10 rounds at 41.0 gr, 10 rounds and 41.5 gr etc. The rifle is equipped with a 6.5-20x50 Vortex Viper scope using Deadnutz high single-piece mounting rings. I shot at 100 yards, sitting, bipod and rear sandbag. Conditions were good if a bit windy. The results were pretty good. In the pictures, each group consists of five shots. The way they were shot is by powder load, top-down left-to-right. So in each picture, the top-left group is 41.0 gr Varget, the bottom-left group is 41.5 gr, the middle target 42.0 gr, top-right is 42.5 gr and the bottom right 43.0 gr. It looks like the sweetspot for my particular rifle is between 41.5 and 42.0 grains, though the 43.0 grain group is pretty good in each as well. No significant pressure signs but the primers were a bit flattened in the 43 gr load. Very happy with the rifle so far, shoots really nice, smooth bolt. |

Never had a Tikka, but I've heard good things about them. I've loaded v-max(red tip instead of green) in .223, 22 hornet, 6.5 Jap, 7mm mag and 30-06. All shoot MOA or better and do amazing damage to small game. I couldn't be happier. Be safe and happy hunting!

Duo back with Leeds
Leeds' teenage defenders Aidy White and Tom Lees have both returned from their respective loan spells at Oldham and Bury.
Left-back White, 19, made 24 appearances for Oldham during the second half of the campaign, while central defender Lees, 20, clocked up 50 appearances with Bury, winning promotion with the League Two club during his season-long stay and scoring some key goals.
Leeds manager Simon Grayson said: "They've both enjoyed successful loan spells. I'm a big believer in that if players aren't playing and they can get out and play and gain experience elsewhere then that's for the best. It's certainly worked well for Aidy and Tom.
"We've been keeping a check on them both so we know how they've done and we'll look forward to having them back with us.
"They are two players we hold in high regard so we will see where we are with them after pre-season and how things go."
Fellow Academy product Will Hatfield, a central defender, has also returned from his loan spell at York, but midfielder Adam Clayton will stay with MK Dons until after the play-offs.

Commandments of Carrie
The Ten (or more but who's counting):
I believe in surrounding yourself with things you love, other people don't have to love it they don't live in your room! Although there is the occasional pesky husband, wife, significant other… melding styles and opinions can be done! You had the good taste to pick each other, right? We can meld those competing tastes together to pick a sofa for example, I promise you it can be done! Although there have been times I have wanted to resort to duct tape to muffle the sounds of strong opinions from my own family members. But at the end of the day, those strong competing opinions turned out to provide the best solutions, it just took a little longer to get there.;)
I believe you should invest in statement pieces and pepper those with items from Ikea, Target, crazy Aunt Sadie and the thrift store. Every room should have something your husband thought cost way too much money and something you went dumpster diving for… if done well nobody would believe you got that lamp for $8 at Target and I won't tell if you won't.
I believe in starting with a vision, an inspiration, a jumping off point; it can be anything really as long as it gets the creative juices flowing. A favorite TV show, a restaurant, a vacation destination, your favorite dress, your daughter's headband, a piece of fruit… anything!
I believe in mixing styles, mixing old with new, mixing modern with traditional. If you stick to one style it starts to feel like a movie set to me, not like actual people live there. Go ahead, mix Don Draper's Midcentury Mod sofa with Betsy Johnson's hot pink baroque style mirror. Find items that you love and make them work in your own space. Your room should make you feel good and bring a smile to your face.
I believe in the power of the animal print! Let's just keep it to one animal per room, can we do that?
I believe in mixing patterns and textures, the more the better. It's like cooking, the more layers of flavors the more exciting the meal. Mix crazy stripes with bold florals and funky ikats, I dare you.;) When I am finished with a room there are at least 10 different fabrics/patterns in there. As I am doing it there are some naysayers yet when it is done it all comes together fabulously, and you feel good in the room, at home. And it doesn't have to be an in your face Thai Spicy Curry, it can be a mellow Coq au Vin, but it still needs layers.
I believe in the power of the gay man. He will not steer you wrong in matters of style, be it shoe, hair, dress or sofa. I am currently looking for a gay sidekick, the only problem is that anyone I like for the part takes offense to the term 'sidekick.'
I believe in color, paint those walls! Too many of us are scared of strong colors, they can change the way you feel in a room, they can change your life.;)
I believe in black and white. If things are getting too crazy, a bit of black and white can settle things down. They also have the power to make everything else shine again.
I believe in reusing, recycling, repurposing, up cycling, root to tipping, nose to toesing, eyes to earsing, head shoulders knees AND toesing… but at some point that shit just need to go in the trash, people.
I believe in friends and family and that we are more fulfilled when we take the time to make connections with one another. It can be as simple as a conversation with the checkout clerk at the grocery store. These connections make us feel good, make us smile.
I believe almost anything in life can be fixed with some glitter and a glue gun. Seriously.
I believe you should hire me to redesign a room in your home that is not working for you. My astronomer Blaine says I will be famous at the age of 57, you think I jest but he has been right on with all his other predictions, married at 35 check, first child at 36 check, 2nd between the ages of 38-41 check, a boy and a girl check… I don't really want to wait until the age of 57 to be famous, but they say things happen when you are ready for them. That age is creeping up and with that my rates will go up. So hire me now, you will be getting a bargain, much like that lamp from Target.

New Music Releases For Nov. 2 Include Matt & Kim, Mariah Carey, N.E.R.D.
What to Download: New Music This Week
Like us on Facebook
November may have only just begun, but the holiday season is already showing up in the new music offerings. If you're not in the mood for merriment just yet, we've also got a couple of other albums to rock out to.
Matt & Kim, SidewalksThe lowdown: Hipster duo Matt & Kim release their third album of dance-y, energetic tracks. It's slightly more experimental than their last disc, without straying too far from their established sound.
Choice tracks: "AM/FM Sound"
"Good For Great"
Download this album if you: Like your indie rock upbeat, noisy, and fun.
The lowdown: Sixteen years after the release of her original holiday album, Mariah Carey gives us a follow-up of both classics and new tunes. There's no standout like "All I Want For Christmas Is You," but it's still a decent album.
Choice tracks: "O Little Town of Bethlehem / Little Drummer Boy (Medley)"
"The First Noel / Born Is the King (Interlude)"
"Charlie Brown Christmas"
Download this album if you: Have Mariah's first album in heavy rotation during the holiday season.
One more release when you
N.E.R.D., NothingThe lowdown: The hip-hop/rock band led by the ever suave Pharrell Williams releases a new album with a surprising amount of funk and disco flavor. But Williams's sex appeal (and his falsetto) is still out in fine form.
Choice tracks: "Party People"
"Hypnotize U"
"Perfect Defect"
Download this album if you: Prefer dance jams with a smooth groove.

Upstate New York Modelers
#1 Guest_66dragfreak_*

Posted 20 November 2008 - 10:22 AM
there is an albany IPMS chapter, mixed modelers i can try to get you info if you like, i know they exist as i know several of the members and have gone to thier shows
good luck
Just wondering if there is anyone here from Upstate New York, north of Albany in the Lake George region. The LHS said there was a group in a week or so ago looking for othe rmodelers from this area. Although I'm only here in New York for a couple more months, it would be cool to meet up with anyone who might also be on this forum.

the mis nomer and mentality toward IPMS, is the old IPMS view, not the modern view, and i for one have not converted my liked desires or anything else, but have accepted a few challenges from these members, and am working on military pieces..... my mentor says at least im building and learning more skills, even thogh i'm out of my element.
there is a multitude of benefits to being part of an ipms club.... but at this point your looking for people just to build with, so i would suggest if you can, go meet with them, and i could give you a few names, and seek these people out, and learn skills to help your build vs about a plane or a tank, and please please lose the mindset thay are all military modelers.... my first few models in my lfe 35 yrs ago were military as i built with my grandfather.... as i got into cars, i built cars and big rigs...... now i vary on what i build, hell i currently have a motorcycle on my table primed.....
so i suggest keep an open mind, and learn skills, and make friends / colleagues/ mentors help is the best way to build abetter model, i am learning this, and firmly believe it.... and i dont care who treaches me, aslong as i can build better
I appreciate the offer. I know all about the IPMS Chapter. Unfortunately, because my main interest is not in military or aircraft, I am not readily accepted by those who are members. I know not all chapters are like this and I don't want to turn this into an IPMS bashing thread. I was just wondering if anyone who frequented the LHS near Glens Falls frequented this board...

As I said, I harbor no ill will toward anyone associated with IPMS, I just had a bad experience and I prefer not to let myself be subjected to such perfectionists. I'm happy with the way I build and what I build and I don't need "experts" tearing my work down to make themselves look more intelligent. They only succeeded in making themselves look totally ignorant and foolish that day.
