Calallen, Bluff, Ingleside lead 'Texas Football'
Gridiron annual puts trio among state's top 25 in respective classes
Let the games begin.
That seems to be the shared sentiment of area high school football coaches, as they learned about being ranked in the soon-to-be-released Dave Campbell's 206 Texas Football magazine.
Calallen (No. 6), Flour Bluff (No. 21) and Ingleside (No. 22) were all ranked in the magazine's class-by-class top 25 rankings.
The Wildcats (14-2 last year) have eight returning starters (including five on offense) from last year's team that reached the Division II, Class 4A state championship game, including senior quarterback Ryan Duke, senior running back Kindred McClure and senior defensive tackle Chance Schneider.
"I think (that ranking) is based on a combination of what our team did last year and the success that our program has had in the past," said Calallen coach Phil Danaher, whose team opens the upcoming season Sept. 1 in San Benito. "We always tells the players, however - it's not where you're ranked (before the season) but where you finish that counts.
"We had a good year last year but we also lost a lot of guys from that team who were like a Band of Brothers," Danaher added. "They were a hard-working group that didn't want to let their teammates down and that's why team chemistry is so important. You can have the talent and you'll win some games with that talent but you'll also need the players to rely on each other to win the real close games and that makes the difference in how far you'll go."
Defending District 31-4A champion Flour Bluff has seven returning starters (four on defense) from last year's team and must replace the likes of skill position players wide receiver Alex Darley, running back Andre McCorkle and quarterbacks Kevin McColskey and Joe Brunemeier in order to have similar success this season.
"It's an exciting honor but the preseason really doesn't mean much," said Hornets second-year coach Darrell Andrus, whose team opens with Class 4A Miller on Sept. 1 at Cabaniss Field. "We still have to go out and play the games on the football field."
Flour Bluff (12-1 last year) is picked to finish second behind Calallen in the District 31-4A standings, according to the magazine's preseason coaches poll.
"We probably have as many holes to fill as anybody," said Andrus, who plans to move defensive back R.J. Long to quarterback this season. "Yet these young kids experienced something special last season and they want to keep it going. We want to establish a football tradition here at Flour Bluff."
The magazine also projects Ingleside to win the District 30-3A championship this season, although the Mustangs will have to go through the likes of defending district champion Sinton and former District 31-3A powers Orange Grove and West Oso to do so.
"We don't put a whole lot of stock into it because we know it won't mean anything until we step on the field - other than the fact that someone else thinks that we're good," said Ingleside coach Graig Hesseltine, whose team opens the season Sept. 1 at Tuloso-Midway. "I hope we live up to the expectations of other people."
The Mustangs have 17 returning starters (nine on offense) from last year's 7-5 team, including wide receivers Joel Johnson and Zach Adams, running back Matthew Rodriguez and linebacker Jeff Techur.
Hesseltine said Ingleside plans to replace starting quarterback Travis Chrisman - who moved to Comfort - with junior Josh Coffield, who started five games for the Mustangs this past season.
"The players are excited and I'm excited - we can't wait for next football season to begin," Hesseltine said. "We want that day to already be here."
Players and coaches must first wait until Aug. 7 to begin their two-a-day practices.

Vos, Hendrik and Bailleul, Emilie (2002) The Belgian Presidency and the post-Nice process after Laeken. ZEI Discussion Papers: 2002, C 102. [Discussion Paper]
| PDF Download (425Kb) | Preview |
[Introduction]. When the Belgian Presidency of the European Union set off on 1 July 2001, expectations ran high. The Belgian Presidency was expected to put the European train back on the rails, since the European integration process was clearly in a slump. Various factors have contributed to this general malaise about the way Europe was run. To begin with, the Nice summit had aroused mixed feelings. Although the Treaty of Nice prepared the Union for enlargement mathematically – agreements on vote weighting in the Council, the number of members of the European Parliament etc. – many people seriously doubted whether a Europe consisting of 27 or 28 member states would be able to operate effectively. More in general, some people wonder whether a larger Europe will not automatically become a 'watered down' Europe. Several other factors have contributed to this scepticism. The European elections of 1999 were far from a success in terms of turnout, whilst public opinion expressed its negative attitude towards the European project in two referendums during the first half of 2001: the Danes said 'nej' to the euro and the Irish said 'no' to the Treaty of Nice. In addition, the Swedish Presidency ended in a minor key in June 2001: in spite of the ambitions of the Göteborg summit, where sustainable development was to be placed high on the European agenda, only the violent street protest actions will be remembered. Once it had become clear that the negotiations in Nice were not going to cause a dramatic change in attitude, Belgium's prime minister Guy Verhofstadt suggested that the Belgian Presidency should be concluded with a 'Declaration of Laeken' that was to give the debate on the future of Europe a new impetus. The Belgian Presidency therefore came at a crucial moment for the Union: on the one hand, Europe was generally held in low esteem, but on the other hand, a debate on Europe's future might change this negative attitude and rekindle enthusiasm through an ambitious project. And the Belgian Presidency was ambitious. This appeared during the presentation of the Belgian 'priority programme': on 2 May, when the Swedish Presidency was still in full swing, the Belgian prime minister presented a programme containing sixteen priorities. The present paper examines the outcome of the Belgian presidency and how it (possibly) helped to shape the future of Europe. The first part briefly describes the general context of the presidency, covering the tasks of the presiding member state and the potential influence of the presidency on the European agenda. The second part assesses the performance of the Belgian Presidency and evaluates the extent to which the Belgian priorities were achieved in various areas. An evaluation of the achievements of the Union in a wide range of areas can identify future needs and challenges. Some of these issues were integrated into the Declaration of Laeken in one form or another. We will next examine the Declaration of Laeken and the debate on the future of Europe in greater detail. The final part of this paper describes the agenda after Laeken.

Bernardus Soberanes Vineyard Chardonnay 2011
Chardonnay from Central Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
Santa Lucia Highlands' two most renowned growers, Gary Pisoni and Gary Franscioni, have joined forces on an exciting new vineyard located just south of the celebrated Garys' Vineyard in the heart of the Santa Lucia Highlands. It is called Soberanes Vineyard. We at Bernardus are honored to be among the few wineries to receive both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from this exciting new star of the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation.
We have chosen a block planted with two selections of the highly-regarded Wente clone of Chardonnay which is known for its small clusters of tiny grapes. This clone, along with the highest quality farming practices, provides us with a very intense wine exhibiting the finest quality of flavors and aromas.
On the nose we find scents are of ripe peach and baked green apple, accented by notes of crème brulée. The palate is highly focused with concentrated flavors of candied citrus fruits, caramel, toasty oak and hints of mineral supported by a crisp, refreshing acidity.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Another remarkable effort, the 2011 Chardonnay Soberanes Vineyard starts out quite rich and fleshy, yet gains focus and purity in the glass. Offering notes of baked apples, spice, buttered toast and hints of citrus, it is laser- focused on the palate, with building richness and fantastic energy on the finish. Enjoy it over the coming 3-4 years. Drink now - 2017." -
Wine Enthusiast - "This is a fine Chardonnay marked by rich, ripe pear, peach and tropical fruit flavors, but also a bright acidity that highlights all the fruit. Notes of buttered toast add richness. It's delicious on its own, but would also be an ideal accompaniment for tapas."
Bernardus Winery
The focus of Bernardus is to create wines that flatter the palate and stimulate the imagination. Our Marinus Estate Bordeaux-style red wine is the centerpiece of owner Ben Pon's dream. It is complemented by Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc from cool coastal climate vineyards. We also offer limited bottlings of small production and vineyard designate wines, which are available exclusively through the tasting room and wine club... taste a dream. Pon appreciates wine as an art-- a form of art that transcends the ordinary. His dream with Bernardus is to make a red wine equal to the finest from Bordeaux. To achieve this purpose, Ben, a Dutchman who could have planted vineyards anywhere in the world, has chosen the Carmel Valley for his estate vineyards and winery. Since the early 1970's, there has been a growing awareness of the outstanding potential for Bordeaux varieties from this new viticultural appellation. The Bernardus estate vineyards of Marinus and Featherbow Ranch are located in the Cachagua region of the Carmel Valley. We have been told that Cachagua is the Spanish word Native Americans used for deep or hidden water. It has been said that Native Americans believed that all things in nature were sacred and interrelated. Their respect for balance in nature is carried on in the vineyards of Bernardus. More than 300 live oaks have been preserved to thrive among carefully planted vines. View all Bernardus Wines
About Central Coast
View a map of Central Coast wineriesThe largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable Facts
Grape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.About California
It's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Pipe Mania Review
Razorworks helps us channel our inner plumber. We'll stick to writing about games, thanks.
Most people -- particularly the crowd that would probably gravitate toward something like Pipe Mania -- have played games like this before. The explosion in popularity of casual games and portal web sites has meant that the familiar Pipe Dream-esque gameplay idea of laying pipe (hey, quit snickering) to guide the flow of... stuff from one end of the level to the next isn't new. The way Pipe Mania does it, though, is new -- at least in the sense that they wanted to wrap a story and some side modes around the familiar gameplay.
See, Alfonso Sr. -- decked out in familiar plumber's garb and inexplicably sporting a cockney-esque accent not far removed from Michael Cane's turn as Alfred in the new Batman movies -- is apparently good at his job (good enough to buy himself his own island anyway). He wants to hand the bidnizz off to his kids, though, which is a problem because of what he calls "Cowboy Plumbers, one of which is particularly bad, so he sends the kids off to tackle the island's resident "bad guys" first to give them some experience.
Okay, so it's not much of a story -- really just there to give a reason for having a bunch of characters and their resulting special attacks (which I'll get to in a second), and to give the game a reason for having a bunch of different environments like a train yard and internet facilities, but they're honestly just different skins for the main gameplay; the pieces are more or less the same (though the game does do a good job of constantly introducing new mechanics), which is to say you'll be spending plenty of time building snaking lines all over the gridded levels, trying to build faster than the slime (sorry, Flooze) can flow through the pipes.
Though it's rather fleeting, Pipe Mania does actually offer a bit of a cushion after the Flooze busts out of a pipe. A leak meter will fill quickly when the Flooze isn't being directed somewhere, but at least the game isn't over as soon as soon as the green slime, or stuff on conveyor belts or little trains fall off the main path. Ah, but there's a catch, and one that becomes increasingly persistent as you roll into the boss battles with the other plumbers at the end of each area: they can break the pipes with special attacks, which cause leaks that have to be repaired.
These boss battles, as the game goes on, start to get more frustrating than anything else, especially when moves like being able to switch out or rotate pieces starts to crop up in addition to just causing leaks. Granted, they certainly do introduce a little more variety into things, but it's rarely welcome when the latter stages start introducing things like forced routes or even splitting the Flooze in multiple directions. It was clearly meant to be a multiplayer option (which the DS version lacks, along with about 50 levels found on the other platforms), and there it certainly complicates things, but in single-player it really just adds frustration.
Pipe Mania can be a rather difficult game, and that's before you factor in the added challenge of racking up points for medals (which in turn can give you treasures that unlock more levels and modes). All the basics are as you'd expect; tapping a shoulder button (or holding the right mouse button on the PC) speeds the flow up, cross pieces loop Flooze and let you pocket more points, bridges can turn normally straight pieces into crosses, gates speed up/slow down the flow and the aforementioned splitters and colored gates require an extra bit of clever building.
The pieces, however, seem to be randomly chosen, which I can understand would be done to build tension when you're trying to beat the flow and are just waiting for one piece, but because you can't skip a piece and must put it down somewhere (even on top of others), you'll either incur a penalty at the end of the level if you can't link the piece or you're get dinged instantly when you bust through a previous piece. When things get seriously twisted later in the game, it only gets worse.
There were also moves taken to make the levels themselves more complex; pre-set pieces can't be bombed or changed, obstacles must be built around and bonus pieces give you more points if you can incorporate them into the run. Each of these compounds the earlier issue of just having to burn through some pieces, and those it's certainly more involved than the old Pipe Dream formula, it's also needlessly complicated at times.
With the exception of some of the stuff I talked about before, all versions of the game are essentially identical. The PC version runs just fine on integrated graphics chipsets and obviously has low requirements there, the DS version, like the PC with its mouse, benefits most from not having to scoot around the levels one square at a time, but lacks levels and multiplayer. The PS2/PSP versions are all but identical, and run just fine. In short, the core experience is the same across all platforms, but the DS version is a little short-changed.
Pipe Mania tries, with limited success, to introduce a bit more to the familiar gameplay you've likely played before. That you can still get your fix on that -- and for free -- online means there's not a whole lot of incentive to get involved here. The additions to things really only tend to muck it up most of the time, though, and while the game is fun, the addition of a limited story, characters and added complications really just makes it all, well, more complicated, which is the opposite of why most people would pick up a game like this in the first place.

Everybody likes to be the first one to know. Whether it's following an up and coming band, getting on the bandwagon for an NBA team before they go deep in the playoffs, or picking a winning stock before the turnaround and the big move happens, we take pride in anticipating the trend, in being hip to what's new. In most of these cases, the pride is silly; does it really matter if you liked a band before they blew up when you can just download the whole back catalog and catch up anyway?
With stocks, it does matter and it doesn't. Obviously, investors want to be ahead of a move so they can make the most money off of said move. At the same time, one shouldn't have any pride about where they hear about a stock. It doesn't matter if the stock represents a company that sells products one loves, or somebody in the family works at the company, or there was a nice write-up in Barron's about a stock; the investor should be source-neutral, taking the initial tip as a cue to do the research and find out if the stock's worth it.
All of which is to say that I saw the interview with Spectra Energy's (NYSE:SE) CEO Gregory Ebel on Jim Cramer's Mad Money last week. The CEO of the natural gas pipeline company told a story about a steady earning business with exposure to interesting and promising parts of the natural gas sector, recent regulatory approval of a major project, and a solid and growing dividend. It sounded like a compelling story, and being always on the lookout for stable, attractive ways to play the energy sector, I thought I'd look into it. What I found is that Spectra can play an important role in stabilizing a diversified portfolio.
Spectra Energy is an S&P 500 company based in Houston, Texas. The company has four separate units: U.S. transmission and storage; gathering, processing, and transmission in Western Canada; transmission, sale, and delivery of natural gas in Ontario, Canada; and a 50% share of DCP Midstream (NYSE:DPM), a firm that processes natural gas and markets natural gas liquids (Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX) owns the other 50%). Spectra also owns a 64% stake in its MLP, Spectra Energy Partners (NYSE:SEP), which supports the first of the listed units.
Running pipelines is a fee-based system for Spectra Energy. This helps the company lock in earnings over the long-term, and shelters earnings from the ups and downs of natural gas as a commodity. As Ebel said in the above interview, "it's like building a hotel and selling out every room for ten years, and getting paid regardless of whether people stay in the hotel or not". Most of Spectra's exposure to the price of natural gas, besides the underlying demand to renew these contracts, comes through DCP Midstream, and that represents only 20% of the company's EBITDA in Q1 of 2012, for example.
With such a steady business, it is not surprising that Spectra has done well in terms of earnings. The company has been profitable throughout its five years of independence. More significantly, the company has exceeded its earnings guidance in each of the last three years. Spectra did miss earnings estimates for Q1 of 2012 due to the warm winter and low natural gas costs, but they have not backed away from guidance of $1.90 EPS, which would be an increase of over 7% from last year's levels. For a steady company, that is a decent growth rate.
Spectra is positioned to take advantage of a couple of interesting possibilities to improve earnings in the years to come. The company just received federal approval to build a pipeline extension to deliver natural gas into New York City and New Jersey. The $1-1.2B pipeline should go into operation by late 2013 and be an earnings driver almost immediately thereafter. Ebel also mentioned during the interview that the company is interested in building pipelines in Western Canada that would allow for shipping liquefied natural gas abroad to higher-price markets. This has been a consistent theme in Spectra's conference calls, but they target this possible capital spending for no sooner than 2015, so that's part of the longer-term picture. Spectra also has two smaller projects, one connecting the Marcellus shade region to the Rockies, the other related to Philadelphia, that should come online this year.
The other major piece in the Spectra puzzle is its dividend. The company has raised the dividend payout four times since coming public. This would be an impressive figure for most S&P 500 companies, especially considering the overall market climate in the past five years, but for pipeline companies this is fairly ordinary, as the chart below shows. Of more value going forward is the company's vocal pledge to raise dividends by at least $.08 each of the next two years to hit a payout ratio of at least 65%. If the company follows through on that minimum, the yearly dividend in 2014 will be $1.28, an increase of 45% over seven years.
Next is to consider how Spectra Energy stacks up to its peers. Without further ado, a valuation table for Spectra and other natural gas pipeline plays of similar size:

Spectra comes in about average for past revenue and earnings growth, and on the low end for future growth. At the same time, Spectra is the cheapest on a forward P/E basis. On top of that, the analysts' estimates are lower than the company's guidance of $1.9 EPS and earnings growth goal of 7-9% through 2014. At those numbers, the P/E for 2012 and 2013 (at $2.03 EPS, a 7% growth) would be 14.74 and 13.8 respectively, while the PEG ratio would be 2.21. Considering many of its peers trade at 2013 P/E's of 17 or 18, there is some room for Spectra to appreciate.
That said, Spectra's dividend history becomes less impressive when viewed in light of its peers. Each of these companies, whether due to MLP status or a longer history of payouts, has a significantly higher dividend yield or more dividend increases over the past five years (with the exception of Trans Canada, which is only slightly better). If Spectra, which has been independent for a shorter period of time, can follow through on its dividend growth plans for the next two years and beyond, it might be able to establish a similar track record.
SE Dividend Yield data by YCharts
The last two concerns for Spectra involve the company's cash flow and its debt. While the company has strong, consistent operating cash flow, as befits a steady, pipeline operating company, most of that cash flow gets plowed back into capital expenditures as the company seeks to build out future pipelines. This leads to limited free cash flow that goes negative after counting debt expense and dividend payments. The natural result is that the company has a high level of debt, with a current ratio of .57, a long-term debt to equity ratio of 1.22, and a debt to market capitalization ratio of .61.
There are mitigating factors for these concerns, however. As the table shows, free cash flow is not necessarily a huge metric for pipeline operators - only KMP and WMZ had strong free cash flow last year. A quick eye scan of the balance sheets for each of the companies in this group finds each one with a current ratio well under 1 and a long-term debt to equity ratio over 1, suggesting that Spectra's debt levels are hardly unusual. The company also has investment grade ratings from Fitch and Moody's; the latter describes Spectra's portfolio as giving "it a lower business risk profile than some other diversified pipeline companies," despite being in a, "deeply negatively free cash flow position."
Spectra, for its part, predicts its primary sources of cash to cover 2012's dividends, maintenance CapEx, and 60% of expansion CapEx, leaving about $500M of the expansion CapEx to be funded by debt. The company has also achieved a 14% return on CapEx over the past five years, suggesting that management knows how to get value out of its investments. The company is confident about its balance sheet, and barring any huge shocks that could affect any business, this confidence seems justified.
Where does that leave us as investors? Spectra's overall profile is a stable pipeline business with a solid dividend and some upside via its natural gas liquids business in the DCP Midstream stake. The performance has indeed been steady, and while the dividend is not quite as good as its peers, it should grow over the coming years. If the company meets or beats its guidance, as it has done consistently in the past, a 17x 2013 multiple (at the previously extrapolated $2.03/share earnings for 2013) would give us a 34.51/share target price. That would be a 23% increase on current levels and 7% above its 52-week (and historical) high hit this past March. The dividend tacks on 4% at its current level and would still yield about 3.5% if it goes up .08 as expected and the stock appreciates that 23%. The company targets an annual shareholder return rate of 12%, which could be a good floor for our estimates, against the more optimistic 27% I just calculated.
In any case, Spectra could be attractive as a steady utility play for investors. The company is committed to maintaining and raising its dividend, has a business that is 80% consistent, with the other 20% exposed to natural gas, which may be past its bottom at this point. Spectra is positioned to take advantage of intriguing projects going forward that should build its pipeline, fee-based, stable cash flow. This is unlikely to be a home run investment, but as a solid, getting on base play, investors could do worse than Spectra.
So while you certainly didn't hear it first, you can well hear it again because it's not too late: Spectra is a solid pick. No need to get too hip about this.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in SE over the next 72 hours.

I didn't get to see the combine drills so I don't know about English playing LB for us. Someone who saw him work out could observe that better.
I really do not see Brace as a 1st rounder. At all.
15. Houston Texans (8-8) Larry English, DE/OLB, Northern Illinois
English could make a big impact early on for the Texans, who would likely play him on the outside of DeMeco Ryans. With a suddenly-strong linebacking group behind a strong, young defensive line, the Texans would make establish a powerful defense for years to come.
intriquing prospect. I had him projected late 1st early 2nd so could be ideal if Rick Smith works another trade down scenero. the problem I have is projecting him to OLB instead of his natural position RDE. when all is said & done he could be one of the best in his class & fit in perfectly with what Texans need as they keep Mario @ LDE. great upside, can drop & cover (limited) better used downhill pressure on QB. hips smooth/change of direction, decent strenth great explosion first step, vertical 36"

And in the finest tradition of Placerville the optometrist is living above his business.
Last month the Placerville City Council handed out a beautification award for Daniel Morrill and his new optometry office.
This publication also received a beautification award for turning the long-abandoned Blockbuster Video rental place into the new home of the Mountain Democrat. Our new offices were actually originally a bank. Now it is a well-lit office with windows on three sides and an upstairs view of the scene along Ray Lawyer Drive.

*UPDATE* Medals! You can now earn medals for completing the interactive battles!
Its the winter-y episode 7, that I was hoping to have out while it was still winter. But better late then never *cough* SMBZ... Thanks to flash's minuscule 16k frame limit I had to add a bunch of convoluted coding to get it to work. But I think the animation turned out a bit better in this one. Plus I cleaned up the interactive battle code a lot. So hopefully, you won't find many bugs. If you do spot one, let me know (and be specific)! I'm a little miffed I got so close to the 20mb limit. I really need to cut back on these episodes. Run time is about 20 mins.
The interactive battles are optional for those who don't want to play. This episode also contains the first of my gym leader contest winners. Jay the Armor Titan by Ty Hiro!

Finally! This series is just getting better and better. I've been watching these since Ep. 1. Keep up the good work! Oh, and I think I know who's the cause of the clouds now...
Is that so? I seriously doubt it...
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Hell yeah. Just from that ending, i can tell this is going to be going on for a while.
I think this 'old and powerful presence' and the creator of the clouds and all that is most likely Mewtwo.
No other Pokemon, besides a brand new one, fits the bill. Sure, he turned good at the end, but I've seen plenty of fan-made things that make Mewtwo evil again.
Oh! Perhaps someone captured Mew and tried to turn him/her/it into a shadow Pokemon, and all this craziness resulted from it?
Damn my inability to wait. I'm looking forward to wherever these animations go.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Reminds me of some of those darker-themed nuzlocke comics, just animated. Do you take any inspiration from those, or just gale of darkness?
Good stuff, love the story.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Please...don't stop making these...I think it's a nice story, the characters are fun and i like the interactive battles you put into it...great job! Keep it up.
Also an applause for the voice acting, gives everyone more personality, in my opinion :)

Headphone amp grounding (w/ diagram)
I started to plan my ground wiring, and ran into a possible snag.
evolution::: Building this amp, I put each channel on a seperate board. Then began to think "why not use seperate power supplies?". But there isn't enough room in my amp case, so outboard PSU(s) has become a possible solution. SNAG: Concidering the output jack ground....I'm confused what to do here. This one ground point must tie somewhere to both psu's/amp grounds , right? (headphone jack/cable ground is shared for both R and Left)......if this were a dual mono speaker amp..seperate grounds go to seperate speakers, no problem. But for headphones ?? (is the headphone jack the only place the two grounds connect?....what about case, leave it floating everywhere after the transformer? (ac input ground tied to case) (not sure yet (and not drawn): input ground, pot ground) =FB= |

Hey what do you know, after actually reading your post I have something to contribute other than the above post.
I just recently built some "mono block" headphone amp boards that will also have separate supplies. I plan to tie the ground from each amp output to the headphone jack, and then the headphone jack will be electrically connected to the case. That will be my only ground point and everything else will be isolated. Hope that helps in some way. http://i15.tinypic.com/2z3zbxv.jpg http://i17.tinypic.com/2rwawqd.jpg |

Thanks, O'Anonymous1....
How are you wiring your supplies? Are you using seperate transformers, or ?? I'm a little bit intimidated here, as I've not seen any drawn schematics in my proposed setup, posted above, when powering a shared ground device - (headphones). ....I could rewire my headphone cables for dual mono, using two jacks, one for each ear can, but I won't. I do believe that I should not use dual supplies if they are of the "floating ground" type. (mine are not, I'm using xformers with center-taps, and 3 term regulators for each leg, each supply.) I did find a single transformer the other day, multitap 16v,0,16v and 16v,0,16v. ....choices.... =FB= |

In the first pic I posted there is one of the supplies to the right. It is a dual secondary with separate bridges. It gives me an unregulated +-30v. I'm not sure if I want to regulate it or not as the OPA551 I'm using can run at that voltage.
If you keep each channels ground separate up until the headphone jack everything should be fine. It works for me anyway. I just haven't found an enclosure for it yet so it's all just sitting in a box for now. BTW, I don't ground the chassis to the mains ground EVER. Bad stuff. |

I did it. I saw the movie. THE movie..The Hunger Games. To prepare for three hours in a movie theater, I drank minimal amounts of water throughout the morning. There was no way I was going to miss Katniss tromping through the woods for a pee pee party. I did however bring plenty of snacks in case the images of starving children made me hungry. I packed up two bags of Enjoy Life foods "not nuts" mixes, an apple, and an orange. Sure enough the moment I saw Rue chompin on groosling I busted out my apple. Upon arrival, this is what I was presented with at the theater. Yes, I am aware that I live in a town that is stuck in the 80′s when it comes to their seating arrangements. These seats are probably covered in E. coli, and lard from popcorn butter. Anyway, the point being..NO seat was off limits. I smacked my fine fanny right in the middle. The movie was good, the book was better. No surprise there. Now I need the second book. The End. I did get down on some trail mix after the movie due to immense starvation. Beach Bash- sunflower kernels, pumpkin seeds, dried pineapple, apricots and cranberries Beach bash is right..this was DELICIOUS! The pineapple chunks were HUGE (as you can see in the photo.) The flavor was great, the texture was great. I loved this mix. Mountain Mambo- sunflower kernels, pumpkin seeds, raisins, apples, chocolate chips, and cranberries I mambo'ed those chocolate chips all into my mouth. The apple chunks were just as large (and good) as the pineapple in the previous mix. Overall: BOTH of these were stellar. The sweet/savory combination was PERFECT! Between my Manfriend and I, we ate half of each bag in less that 3 minutes…oops. I really need to work for the Enjoy Life company, because what could beat getting paid to eat allergy friendly foods all day? In case you've missed my other Enjoy Life posts you can click here and here . This company rocks my world, and so does Alina for sending me these goodies!

Work ethic is lacking. Ability to understand their responsibility for their own betterment. Tendency to take a laid-back approach to everything.
Long ago for sure. I did not know what an "outside child" meant . . .

Fire units responded to a dryer fire at the historic Westward Ho in downtown Phoenix Wednesday morning.
Smoke was reported coming from the second floor laundry room of the building's main tower about 7:15 a.m., according to the Phoenix Fire Department. Apparently a large comforter was put in the dryer, causing the belts to burn out.
Firefighters contained the small blaze at the hotel, which is at Fillmore Street and Central Avenue.
No injuries were reported.

Steven Rhude
EQUILIBRIUM #3 "The objective of achieving balance in life is constantly being assessed owing to our knowledge of opposing forces. From family, friends, to community. The human body, diet, the life cycle - existence and mortality; the idea of spirit. Our place in the Maritimes, church, state, and equality. Relationships, close or long distance, personal or political, are forever subject to the vicissitude's of external and internal forces. Forever being analyzed, scrutinized, and catagorized." Steven Rhude |
Steven Rhude's work is currently touring as part of CAPTURE 2014, which continues its tour at Acadia University Art Gallery in Wolfville May 1 - June 28, Suzanne Robicheau's article in Saltscapes Magazine, September 2014 please click here LES ACADIENS THE LOCAL (MACKEREL ON THE ROAD) |
PLANS (Professional Living Artists of Nova Scotia), in association with the Dalhousie Art Gallery, Tom Smart and Peter Dykhuis have organized |
"The history of bread is unique in that it tends to embody so many human issues and emotions all at once. It is at the same time social, political, spiritual, economical, geographical, and physical. It seems to come in as many shapes and sizes as people do, and contains a special meaning to each. As an object it connotes thanksgiving, beauty, sexuality, humility, nourishment, and transcendence. As a food it can be sweet or sour. Warm or cool. It can be associated with the simplest of meals, or the most excessive. It easily crosses over the boarders of both rural and urban - and in the history of visual art, it has become one of the most powerful symbols of human objectivity. The first time I saw Picasso's large etching The Frugal Repast, it sent a shiver up my spine. It made me think of how influential this black and white work was on western visual expression. Few works evoke the importance of bread and its conveyance in the history of the human condition as that singular etching produced during Picasso's Blue Period. It encompassed the dark descent of Europe in the 20th century, and for Americans, it was a visual forerunner to the great depression years."

SUSPENSION - THE BUOY DEVIL'S ISLAND BOAT By colour we're instantly captured and pulled into a journey, a tale, a mystery. Leopold Kowolik, 2011 |
COMMUNITY WHARF ARTIST STATEMENT: "Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent; it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immovable." Charles Baudelaire, Essay; The Painter of Modern Life Modernism brought with it massive change, and adherents to Baudelaire's views were numerous and influential. The work of Wallace Stevens and Virginia Woolfe immediately come to mind. At times the modernist perspective was bleak, but still capable of drawing a line through the center; in pursuit of truth. As art critic Jacob Smith said of Edward Hopper in 1956, "... a strain of puritanism and a somberness, a realization that existence is serious and at times desolate - that despite rigid demands, out of every day percolate a radiancy, the haunting spell of life itself." For those modernists, the point of the proverbial journey was not to get there. Meaning is found in the search. They understood the balance between the transient and the immutable. Opting for the first half of Baudelaire's definition only, would be like caving in to the anxiety that comes with not having something to base a vision on, as exemplified by our current post modernist practitioners, in all their various guises. In this post modern society, where we declare our cherished icons surplus, it is the responsibility of the artist to provide a much needed transfusion for the quest to re-fashion a whole out of an impossible number of scraps and fragments. Steven Rhude Nikki speaks with Steven about his inspiration and painting process.... |
Steven Rhude was born in Rouyn Noranda, Quebec in 1959. His father was a Royal Canadian Air Force Pilot and traveled extensively throughout Canada before settling his family in Scarborough, Ontario. In Scarborough, Steven was raised, educated and studied civil engineering at Centennial College. After one year he switched to the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto where he studied fine arts and graduated in 1983 with honors in drawing and painting. It was at OCAD that Steven was introduced to the pantheon of draughtsmen from Ingres to American modernists like de kooning. Teachers such as Fred Hagen, John Gould and John Newman instilled in Steven the relevance of drawing as a complete form of expression in itself. Steven also attended the colleges off campus program in Florence, Italy for one year which included an intensive study of the Italian and Northern European renaissance. This year of study was made possible by receiving the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation award. Afterwards, he met Simone Labuschagne and they were married in 1986. Over a period of three years Steven worked at the Art Gallery of Ontario as a technician installing exhibitions, an experience he still recalls with appreciation due to first hand contact with master works of all kinds. In 1990, Steven began to devote himself to drawing and painting full time. He and his wife moved to Fox Island Main, Guysborough, County, Nova Scotia. It was there, in relative isolation, that Rhude developed the realistic and colorful style he is known for today. In 2007, he exhibited a 10 year retrospective of his work at Argyle Fine Art, Halifax, NS. In 2010, Steven's "Temple of the Mind" Exhibition was showcased at the Acadia University Art Gallery in Wolfville, NS. Art critic Elissa Barnard stated "In this body of work Rhude has grappled with and further developed his subject matter, maintaining his engaging style but deepening his ideas and calling on the viewer to put more thought into the work and the plight of coastal communities in Atlantic Canada". In his work, Rhude continues to explore his passion for themes which evoke the ethos of coastal communities in Atlantic Canada , their social conditions and iconic character. Since moving to Lunenburg, NS. with his family, the town has been a primary source of subject matter and pride. Steven also played a role in the creation of The Art Galleries Association of Lunenburg and is a board member of The Lunenburg Arts Council. His work can be found in numerous private, public and corporate collections around the world. Steven's work has been reproduced in various publications, including on the cover and inside the 2009 book "from Land and Sea - Nova Scotia's Contemporary Landscape Artists" and the 2010 coffee table book "A Place Called Away - Stephen Rhude, Living and Painting in Nova Scotia". |

Made on Linux MultiMedia Studio 0.4.6
-Be Aware: This is a work in progress.-
Another try at making orcestral music... I was sitting at the piano playing along (even though I technically don't know how to play it) and the main theme just came out. I quickly managed to remember the notes and then wrote the thing on LMMS. I think this is Audio Portal level work, or atleast, worthy to be used as inspiration. If you want to use the theme or any part of the song, feel free, just credit me as inspiration.
I am aware the instrumentation is not very good... the violin has some issues at parts, but it's all I have right now that fit the task at hand.
Goals of this piece:
-Stuccatto notes
-Evolving old chords from previous songs
-Syncronizing drums, bells, and strings
-Learning the uses of bells and other precussion
-Using brass as a counter-melody part
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Thanks. I know it's pretty repetitive... A large amount of orcestral and classical music have lots of repetitive parts. The part repeated is your theme, and the parts that go along with it are the melodies and counter-melodies. In Late Romance (Brahms, Bruckner, etc.), I usually hear the theme at least three times scattered throughout the piece and the melodies at least twice.

Samsung Flight A797 features, like Bluetooth, an MP3 player, and a full QWERTY keyboard that slides out, a la Palm Pre. Other details are scant, and the lack of a D-pad is a bit disconcerting, but hopefully Samsung plants TouchWiz 2.0 in this thing, so the end result might be worthwhile.

Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. — After a lengthy discussion, the Albany City Commission once again tabled a proposed change to the board's animal control policy that would create a new program meant to help control the feral cat population.
Assistant City Manager Wes Smith presented the ordinance to the commission, which would create a feral cat program that would facilitate a relationship with a non-profit group known as the "Catnappers," who have been collecting feral cats and having them spayed and neutered.
According to Smith, the ordinance bans the tethering or "leashing" of cats — a move that was once considered — and requires all non-feral cats to either have a collar with ID, or be micro-chipped.
The sticking point, at least for Mayor Willie Adams and a handful of others around the table, was the cost of implementing the program — a figure that hasn't yet been figured.
"I"m concerned with the hidden or underlying costs of this thing," Adams said. "I'm hearing requests for staff time and startup costs and all of that means money. I don't want to do anything that's going to use more tax dollars on a program."
Smith said that's why staff is recommending that the commission implement a smaller pilot program in areas where feral cat colonies have been identified to see determine costs and impact on existing staff.
Ward III Commissioner Christopher Pike said he had concerns about the cost of the program and a recommendation from staff for the commission to consider requiring animal control officers to become certified peace officers through the Georgia Peace Officers Standards and Training Council.
"I think the ordinance is well thought out but I don't think the implementation of the ordinance has been very well thought out," Pike said. "Now its looking like the costs are going to be more than we thought — and to make animal control to be POST certified — I don't think we need an APD officer catching cats when we have people robbing, stealing and killing."
Commissioner Tommie Postell asked that the commission table consideration of the ordinance until staff could provide more information on the cost.
"I don't see a cat problem. Cats are non-domesticatable, but not harmful to humans unless they are encountered in a negative way," Postell said. "I'm not against cats. I'm against spending tax dollars hunting cats."

The Humane Society is under city contract to dispose of cats. Neutering and spaying saves the Humane Society $25 per cat. The Humane Society should use their funds to pay for the cat costs.

If you do your research you'll quickly find out that ANY TNR program and their advocates are making absolute fools out of everyone that they con with their nonsense. Not only causing untold damage of wildlife and further spread of deadly diseases but are also doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to curtail cats' breeding rates.
Not even ONE TNR program has EVER trapped more than 0.4% of existing cats in any one area for over a decade now. They simply cannot trap them faster than they breed out of control, no matter what they do. And those cats that learn to evade traps go on to produce offspring that now also know how to evade any trapping method used. This is why, due to TNR-Advocates' insistence that they have the "solution for everyone", that our feral-cat population has now climbed to an ecologically-deadly 150 MILLION feral cats across the USA. Soon to turn into 1.5 BILLION cats within the year if you apply cats' breeding rates to previous population numbers.
Find whatever way that you can to destroy all feral and stray cats on-sight. Avoid using traps if at all possible because trapping is what slowed everything down to where cat populations have now sky-rocketed out of control.
On advice of the local sheriff where I live I used a .22 equipped with a good illuminated-scope and a laser-sight for use when they are most active, dusk to dawn. I shot every last one of them on my property to try to restore all the native wildlife to proper balance. Mission accomplished! The cost was only 0.3 CENT per cat this way (got 5000 rounds on sale for only $15). And contrary to another famous "vacuum effect" TNR-Advocate's bald-faced LIE ... NO CATS REPLACED THEM. The NATIVE predators and their required NATIVE prey that WAS here and BELONGS here is what replaced these lousy invasive-species cats that destroyed the native food-chain.
May you have as much success as I did, and so inexpensively too.
p.s. Avoid the use of poisons if at all possible that, if released into the food-chain, might harm the very wildlife that you are trying to save from destruction by cats. And please bury or incinerate the carcasses so all the highly toxic diseases that cats now carry won't go on to harm or infect more wildlife or humans. Which, if you do a Google search, now even includes cats spreading The Plague in the USA. So much for that myth that cats would have saved people from The Plague in Europe, cats would have made it far worse!

Stop hatin' on the cats! They are marvelous. If I could adopt all of them, I would.

Why do you simpletons always presume that if someone wants to restore nature back into proper balance after it's been devastated by a highly destructive and deadly disease-carrying INVASIVE-SPECIES like cats, that that person must hate cats? I hate cats no more than a doctor that was excising a flesh-eating bacteria from a human body would feel hate toward that bacteria. The bacteria is just doing what it is genetically designed to do. But if I care more about the body it is destroying then I excise that INFECTION from the healthy body in any way that I can, as rapidly as I can. Cats are nothing but a DESTRUCTIVE INFECTION in the natural world. An invasive species, bred by man for man's purposes. Altered through selective breeding, a form of genetic engineering. A cat has no more right to be out in the natural world than some genetically engineered insect that if released out into nature will destroy all native wildlife. JUST AS CATS DO.
Which do you care about more? Humans and all other life on the planet? Or just cats? I already know the answer to this one, because I've proved time and time again that cat-advocates love nothing in life but themselves and their cats.They have zero respect or regard for anyone or anything else on the planet. They are hoping that they can destroy all humans and all other wildlife in existence, whether this is a conscious decision of theirs or a subconscious one it matters not. Their choices in life make their final motives clear.
If visiting a friend who is a responsible pet-owner with a cat, I'll even let the cat sit in my lap and I'll scratch its ears if it likes that. The friends I keep, unlike you, know perfectly well why any feral or stray cat outside needs to be destroyed. They even do it themselves. We've even compared notes on the best ways to destroy them and any mildly interesting stories about cats that were more problematic than others to destroy. See ... they have many things that you lack. Intelligence, common-sense, the ability to reason logically, awareness of the world around them, awareness of and RESPECT for others, and experience with the REAL world. Among hundreds of other worthy qualities that you seemingly and sorely lack.

Woodman--I have 2 cats that never leave my house, so don't worry. They won't attack you.
Cats have a purpose in this world and they do serve a purpose in the ecosystem. I think one of the rabid ones bit you though.
