MIAMI – What's wrong with you if the Greatest Teammate Ever is fed up with you?
Well, what's wrong with Dwight Howard is he still isn't trying.
And for Steve Nash – who has spent close to two decades in the NBA making anyone who tried hard next to him look better than ever and who said during his own MVP heights that if everybody worked as hard as he does, he wouldn't even be in the league – not trying is infuriating.
They were always the most curious pairing of all the complex ones on these Lakers: The ultimate underdog and the No. 1 overall everything. The one who after practice Saturday was doing extreme pushups in conjunction with sprints, the other who was sitting in a courtside seat playing with his phone.
Neither of the Lakers' celebrated acquisitions has been healthy this season, which is part of the problem. It's about the only thing Nash and Howard have had in common.
For months, Nash has been talking about the Lakers needing to have "shared experiences" to grow together. That's tough if the teammates are seeing the experiences from totally different perspectives.
That's what prompted Nash and Howard to yell at each other in the third quarter of the Lakers' loss Sunday in Miami.
Nash drove and was trapped on the baseline by two Miami defenders, Udonis Haslem about to force Nash out of bounds and Mario Chalmers also there between Nash and Howard, who stood deep in the paint. The other three Lakers had the floor spaced the way Mike D'Antoni wants, all behind the 3-point arc, so no other Heat player could get to Howard.
Howard had time to stand there, stare at Nash and the two Heat players, hold his arms up and wave them.
So Howard's eyes and arms were working. Tragically, his legs and feet were not.
Are we going to chalk this up to after effects from his April back surgery, too?
Howard just stood there instead of trying to help Nash create a passing lane – and get himself an easy dunk, as Nash gestured afterward would've happened if Howard just did something besides stand there.
In Howard's eyes, he was open, so give him the ball. That has been Howard's point of view much of the season: He simply wants the ball, wants his touches, wants his shots – and yet refuses to buy into the D'Antoni doctrine that "the ball finds energy."
If Howard really lusts for individual offense so badly, why not try harder to get the ball? Even if he can't explode like he did when he fully trusted his body, at least try to do something. Just look at how well things went even with makeshift non-Nash point guards for Jordan Hill – with a herniated disk in his back and other injuries before requiring hip surgery – when he simply rolled hard off picks.
When teams trap or zone Nash, as they usually do, and stay at home on Kobe Bryant on the backside, it's pretty obvious that Howard is the guy with no one on him for the moment after the pick.

Since I don't have cable TV, I'm forever behind on pop culture. This weekend my sister Lynn tweeted me:
Hey, @agahran ! The perfect blend of Korean pop and Star Trek! http://t.co/bi4uM4EL
That link took me to a HuffPo story about a Star Trek-themed parody of a smash Korean Pop (K-pop) dance rap hit, "Gangnam Style." I'd never heard of or seen the original by K-Pop rapper PSY, so I decided to check it out — because you can't appreciate a parody until you see the original. Here it is:
And here it is again, in Klingon!
It struck me when I watched the original: Doesn't PSY bear a suspicious resemblance to the new North Korean leader Kim Jong Un? Hmmmm…
…See what I mean? I sense a coup coming across the DMZ. Perhaps they're attempting to emulate this Coup, from Oakland?
My pop-culture education for the day is now complete. I can return to unraveling the mysteries of the Box Model now….

The Impact of the Partnership Long-Term Care Insurance Program on Private Coverage and Medicaid Expenditures
2013, Journal of Health Economics
Haizhen Lin, Jeffrey Prince
We examine the impact of U.S. states' adoption of the partnership long-term care (LTC) insurance program on households' purchases of private coverage. This program increases benefits of privately insuring via a higher asset threshold for Medicaid eligibility for LTC coverage, and targets middle-class households. We find the program generates few new purchases of LTC insurance, and those it generates are almost entirely by wealthy individuals, as predicted by Medicaid crowd-out. Further analysis suggests that awareness levels of the program, and possibly bequest intentions, also effectively predict response rates, but Medicaid crowd-out persists. We provide an estimate of expected Medicaid savings/costs.

The Brenin jacket
- Posted by alex
- 6 March 2012
For the past few months we've been putting a prototype of a new howies jacket through it's paces.
The Brenin is our new lightweight biking jacket for Spring. Actually, it does a whole lot more than that. We've designed it to be windproof, breathable and packable. We've also added in stretch panels on the arms and torso – making it a perfect-fitting outer shell for either bike or run.
The tailored body panels are designed to stop wind and chill from getting in, while the stretch sections let body heat out and give you greater freedom of movement. The jacket's cuffs and drop-tail have subtle reflective detailing too, making you visible to motorists at night. And these flashes are located so they won't be covered up if you're wearing a backpack. It's even got a hydrophobic coating on the body, to help splashes roll off.
Not bad for a jacket weighing-in at only 200grams (that's about the same weight as a banana). In fact, it's so lightweight; you forget you're wearing it.
Beyond the bike, we've also taken this jacket over the hills on foot. We've run it over a hundred miles of trail, slogged out a few ultra-marathons, not to mention plenty of lunchbreaks. And it did the job every time... right to the finish.
Teamed up with one of our long-sleeved Merino base layers, the Brenin jacket has already become a howies staple for those staff members lucky enough to have snapped up one of the samples. For the rest of us, we'll just have to wait 'til we launch the finished product in March.
But don't just take our word for it:
"The new howies Brenin is a fantastically well designed lightweight jacket that packs as much style as it does performance out on the trails in the British weather." – BikeMagic
"It's the first time we can really say… one style fits all! Star Buy - 96%" – CyclingShorts

Terry Glass & I always start on 19 long and my first shot of the day I put my Boss up over the hill pass the short pad maybe 25 feet so my second shot I throw my Star Wraith (pink) that Eric G gave me at Lebanon Open last year and hits center pole chains and falls out to the left side of the basket. That would have been my second deuce on 19 long.
side note missed at SL on 15 for 4 from 75 feet shy of the tree line same thing I throw between the trees the teebird hits right side chains and falls out. Marcus and Terry was with me on that one as well even though a 4 aint nothing spectacular for most you dudes

Much needed upgrades to the electrical system, as well as other maintenance items, are being completed this summer at Ingomar Attendance Center.
The school gymnasium is being repainted and other routine maintenance items are being taken care of. But the big news is that improvements are being made to the school's electrical system and a new intercom is being installed to replace the school's antiquated metal bells and intercom system.
Kenny Roberts, Ingomar Attendance Center principal, said that sometimes the metal bells would not sound and students did not know when to change classes. The same was true during fire drills, "so we had to knock on each classroom door to notify each class," he said.
The problems with the metal bells and intercom presented obvious safety and security issues should a real fire or tornado warning be sounded.
With the new system, which cost $12,000, Roberts and Elementary Principal Windy Faulkner can program specific tones for fire drills, tornado drills and other emergency alert drills. Each classroom will have its own intercom that allows office personnel, counselors or other faculty members to page a specific student in a specific class.
The electrical system upgrade includes improvements to the air conditioning system that also deals with a safety issue.
Roberts said that in the past "every time we had a program in the school auditorium, we had to stand on a ladder in the hallway next to the auditorium and reach up in the ceiling and flip a switch to turn the air conditioning on in the auditorium."
We know that both students and their parents will be relieved that these issues, some of which have the potential to affect students' safety, are being dealt with this summer.

James B. Glattfelder:
Who controls the world?
James Glattfelder studies complexity: how an interconnected system — say, a swarm of birds — is more than the sum of its parts. And complexity theory, it turns out, can reveal a lot about how the economy works. Glattfelder shares a groundbreaking study of how control flows through the global economy, and how concentration of power in the hands of a shockingly small number leaves us all vulnerable.

This week, we're beginning to wind down the Brooklyn emergency boarding facility we opened in November for Sandy victims' pets and pets found in the aftermath. We're trying as hard as ever to reunite the remaining animals with their families—and we need your help!
Since the boarding facility opened, the ASPCA and other local agencies have been working around the clock to track down the families of lost pets through grassroots outreach, flyers, advertising, public service announcements and the Animal Care & Control of NYC's lost pets website.
To date, we've reunited more than 100 pets with their families, but nearly 140 displaced animals still remain at the emergency shelter. Of course, any unclaimed pets will receive the best possible placement when the facility closes, but we'd love for them to go home with their original families.
That's why we need you to share the information below!
If you or someone you know is missing a pet post-Sandy, please tell them to come to the ASPCA emergency boarding facility (at 1508 Herkimer St. in Brooklyn) as soon as possible, or visit the lost Sandy pets site to view all lost pets residing at the facility. Pet parents who wish to reclaim their pets from the boarding facility should also call the Hurricane Sandy Pet Hotline at 347-573-1561..
Thank you!
Saw the clip on Today show about all you've done to help the animal victims of Sandy.. living in Bend Oregon, where this town is great with adopting and pet owning, I'd like to encourage possible transport to wherever the animals may be adopted if not able to return to their owners.. wish I could foster them out here! Thank you for all you do, and hoping for the best for these animals.
Like others have posted I would be interested in providing a temporary foster home to small canine victims of Hurricane Sandy. My beloved dog of 8 years passed away recently and I would love to help a fellow dogowner/dog out.
I have experience with barn animals, snakes, birds, dogs, and other small animals. I would love to help out anyway I can just let me know when, where, and how to help and I'll be there.
I have experience with barn animals, snakes, birds, dogs, and other small animals. I would love to help out anyway I can just let me know when, where, and how to help and I'll be there.
Hi i am 9 years old and am trying to save animals too!!! i have made posters of dogs in the shelter(from getting pics online) and am posting them all around the area! thanks to youguys alot of dogs have been saved.
Please let me know where I can go to find a cat to foster.
Hi, I can foster a dog. I live in Chicago IL. The dog has to be potty trained and trained just in general.
Reading the article got me thinking, you should really mention if there is a cost for picking up their pets if they are the original owners. Many of these people are in desperate straits and probably don't have the money to reclaim a pet they really love. If they can prove they'r the original owners, they should be able to claim their pet for free in this situation. Please post cost information for them.
i diffently support that this lil cutie will be reunited with a new owner that will not mistreat Sandy!!!!!!!
Is there an update to this story? THere was an earlier post on FB mentionin the ASPCA was winding down the shelter and the possiblity of the remaining animals could be put down. I'd like to know what plans the ASPCA has for those animals whose parents for some reason have not been able to be reunited.

Water Conservation
Water Conservation
Water conservation is one of the environment's most dire, important issues. Research suggests that two-thirds of the world's population will face water scarcity by 2025. Thomas Kostigen, NY Times best-selling environmental author, believes "the biggest environmental crisis facing us today is water, and that's something that we really need to focus on. In our towns, our communities and our country, we need to focus on better use of water, better water management."
From the consumer practicing conservation by turning off the water when they brush their teeth to the builder installing low-flow toilets in new houses to the famer practicing update irrigation methods; water conservation is critical to protecting our fresh water supply.

Perfect Wedding Invitations!!
I was so excited to receive my customized wedding invitations in the mail!! They are so cute and wow I can't wait to mail them out to family and friends. It was very easy to customize the colors I wanted and I liked the different fonts available. The quality of paper is great, I do wish it was more durable, a thicker type of paper, but for the price it's great! I definitely recommend this site and the Air Force Wedding Invitation.
Amazing Invitations!
I am so pleased with our Air Force wedding invitations! They turned out exactly as we had hoped! And they shipped quickly! You will not be disappointed!
Great product
I loved my wedding invitations! Great quality! My only complaint was that a few envelopes did not hold their seal in the mail. This resulted in a couple people not receiving everything in their envelope package of invites. However, the 150 other ones mailed perfectly! We personalized the characters hair and skin color to match us. As well as changed the flower colors to fit our theme. We have received so many compliments. :)
Beautiful and well priced!
We are very happy with the invitations! I highly recommend them!
Very timely and great assortment
We moved our wedding date up three months. I received my invitations within one week of ordering!

Home theater receivers buying guide
Find the surround sound receiver that's right for you
The Crutchfield writing team is a group of full-time, in-house copywriters who share a passion for consumer electronics. In addition to creating the articles and videos you find in the Research area of the Crutchfield website, these hard-working and talented people write the informational copy for the products on our website and in the Crutchfield catalog. Our writers constantly research the latest products, technologies, and industry trends, so that we can bring you the most helpful information possible.
More from Crutchfield Writing Team
The rumble of speeding cars behind you grows gradually louder, echoing off the surrounding buildings. A faded black hood edges into view on the left, the booming roar of its engine eclipsing the sound of wind whipping through your windows and a street full of honking horns. A sudden squeal of tires on the right signals a narrow miss as you clear the intersection, while the shriek of metal on metal tells you that the car on the left wasn't so lucky.
A home theater receiver is the key to truly immersive, movie theater-like entertainment at home. In addition to providing impressively detailed surround sound, today's receivers act as a connection hub for a huge variety of audio/video sources. This article will walk you through the basics of home theater receivers, and then offer guidance on choosing the right model for your home.
The basics: What is a receiver?
Three components in one – a preamplifier ("preamp"), a tuner, and an amplifier.
A receiver combines three components in one – a preamplifier, a tuner, and an amplifier. The preamp lets you select which source you'd like to listen to or watch. With today's receivers, that can mean anything from over-the-air radio broadcasts to the smartphone in your pocket.
The preamp section also processes incoming audio and video signals from all your different sources. Once upon a time, signal processing meant controls for bass, treble, balance, and loudness. But today's receivers can decode numerous surround sound formats, and feature a huge array of digital processing circuits designed to improve sound and picture quality.
Traditionally, the tuner section just let you enjoy over-the-air AM or FM broadcasts. Some of today's receivers no longer include an AM tuner, but many have added more modern music sources such as HD Radio™, satellite radio, and Internet radio. Many modern home theater receivers let you enjoy digital content from smartphones or other devices connected via USB, or from networked, DLNA-enabled computers and hard drives.
Some receivers also tap into popular online music services such as Pandora®, Rhapsody, and Spotify. Others feature wireless technologies like Apple AirPlay® and Bluetooth (a separate adapter may be required), allowing you to wirelessly stream music from compatible smartphones and other devices.
The amp's job is to create a visceral, exciting, and engaging soundtrack to match the on-screen video. You'll need a receiver with enough power to satisfy the speakers you've chosen and to really rock the room you're in.
What today's receivers can do
Connect to a wide world of entertainment sources
All of today's home theater receivers let you access attached components, such as a Blu-ray player, cable or satellite box, video game console, CD changer, etc. You can also tune into radio stations via the receiver's built-in tuner. For models that connect to a home network, this includes Internet radio stations.
But as discussed above, many modern receivers offer a whole lot more. Click on each component in the sample system below to get a sense of the types of sources you can connect.
Receiver –
A home theater receiver powers your speakers, provides surround decoding and audio/video processing, and enables easy switching between connected sources.
Having a home theater receiver can make your system easier to use. If you have all your components routed through, you may be able to run just a single HDMI cable to your TV, and you'll never have to switch inputs on your TV.
Blu-ray –
Connect your Blu-ray player to your receiver via HDMI for top-notch picture quality.
Sonos CONNECT–
If you've got a multi-room music system, chances are you can make your home theater system a part of it. For example, this Sonos CONNECT music player could connect to a home theater receiver via optical or coaxial digital audio or analog stereo audio connections.
Cable/satellite box –
Use an HDMI connection to get the best picture and sound from your cable or satellite box. Also, be aware that some set-top boxes, such as the Apple TV®, require an HDMI connection.
Video game console –
Connect the Xbox 360®, Wii U, and PS3 via HDMI for the best picture and sound. If you have Wii, you'll want to use component video and stereo audio connections.
Router –
Most Internet-ready receivers will need a wired connection to your home network.
iPod®/iPhone®/iPad® –
Wireless technologies like Apple AirPlay® and Bluetooth let you stream music from compatible smartphones, tablets, and other devices.
Speakers –
Be sure to select a receiver that can provide plenty of power to your speakers. In general, larger speakers need more power.
Deliver detailed surround sound
If you're new to home theater, the wide array of surround sound options can seem a bit overwhelming. Don't worry, though — all of today's home theater receivers will let you enjoy surround sound with movies from Netflix®, TV shows stored on your DVR, video games, and more. Along with decoding Dolby® Digital and DTS® soundtracks found on DVDs, HDTV broadcasts, and other programming, all current home theater receivers can also handle Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD® Master Audio, two high-resolution surround options available on Blu-ray discs. Some receivers are also compatible with Dolby Atmos® soundtracks, which use overhead speakers to create a higher soundstage while placing audio "objects" more accurately in the listening space. See our article on surround sound formats and our surround sound formats chart for more info.
The five channels of amplification in a 5.1 surround sound system provide power to two front speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers. A powered subwoofer (the ".1") provides deep bass for realistic full-range sound.
Any home theater receiver will have — at minimum — the five channels of amplification necessary to reproduce 5.1 surround sound. (The ".1" in 5.1 refers to the dedicated subwoofer channel; subwoofers are almost always self-powered and therefore do not require amplification by your receiver.) Some receivers include additional channels of amplification, and could support 7.1 or even 9.2 surround sound.
Improve your system's picture and sound
Most new home theater receivers include automatic speaker calibration. Plug the included microphone (left) into the microphone input on the receiver's front panel (middle). The receiver plays test tones, then calibrates the signals it sends each speaker to better suit your room (right)
Because most of us don't have acoustically ideal living rooms, there are a lot of obstacles that can hamper a speaker's sound. For example, although an overstuffed armchair next to the end table may really tie the room together, it may also absorb too much sound from your back left speaker, muddying the surround sound.
That's why most home theater receivers these days come with automatic speaker calibration. Just plug in the included external microphone and set it up in your favorite viewing and listening spots (some receivers can calibrate for six or more positions). The receiver sends full-range test tones to each speaker, listening for dips in frequency response, slight timing delays, and other audio imperfections. Then, the receiver calibrates the signals it sends to each speaker with the goal of achieving the type of sound you'd hear in a more acoustically ideal space. In the example above, a receiver with auto-calibration might play the back left speaker a little louder than the back right speaker in order to overcome the muffling effect of the armchair.
Check out our video about automatic speaker calibration for more info.
Better music playback
Most home theater receivers include special sound modes specifically for music listening. For example, stereo music modes allow you to listen to just the front two speakers and subwoofer. Modes such as Dolby Pro Logic IIx transform two-channel music into multi-channel surround sound. Some receivers also feature audio processing designed to improve the sound quality of MP3s and other compressed digital music.
If you plan to connect high-quality music sources, you may be interested in a higher-end model that takes extra steps to protect audio signal integrity. For example, some receivers have an audio-only mode that shuts off video circuits, minimizing potential sources of noise. Other models simply let you play the music in its original form, without applying any audio processing at all.
(A quick side note though: if you want really high-quality music playback, you may also want a separate, dedicated stereo music system. See our article on building a stereo music system for more info. Or check out our article about surround sound for a music lover for ideas on putting together a system that can do both.)
Razor-sharp picture
On the video front, some higher-end receivers offer sophisticated video processing to improve the image quality of all your sources, whether standard- or high-definition. These models can upscale analog content to 1080p or even 4K and can clean up a lot of the graininess and noise from compressed videos, such as those found on online video sites. The receiver calibrates each video source independently, so that each can look its best. As an added bonus, these receivers can send everything to your TV via a single HDMI cable.
How much receiver do I need?
Enough for your TV and your room
Larger screens and rooms call for larger speakers -- and larger speakers will need a more powerful receiver.
If you have a smaller room and viewing screen, then smaller speakers and a lower-powered receiver can work well.
In our experience, a big picture calls for big sound. If you've invested in a 65" LCD or a 106" projection screen in a larger viewing room, then you'll want equally impactful sound – consider getting larger speakers and a more powerful receiver that's capable of driving them. On the other hand, if you've got a 46" screen in a medium-sized den, then smaller speakers and a lower-powered receiver are a fine option.
Enough for your speakers
When matching a receiver to a set of speakers, the main problem to avoid is having too little power. Using a receiver that is underpowered for the task may result in distorted sound, and puts you at risk of overheating your amp and damaging your speakers over time. Keep in mind though that all watts are not created equal. Some manufacturers employ more stringent testing standards than others. Look for full-bandwidth power ratings measured over the entire range of frequencies audible to human ears – 20 to 20,000 Hz. That's generally a more reliable indicator of quality amplification than ratings measured over a smaller frequency range (or those rated at just a single frequency).
You'll also want to check your speakers' sensitivity rating. Lower sensitivity ratings indicate power-hungry speakers that will require more "juice" from your receiver to produce the same volume as speakers with higher sensitivity ratings. See our speaker FAQ and glossary for more info.
Want more sonic punch? Look for high-current power
The dynamic peaks that help make movie soundtracks and music so exciting can impose intense short-term demands on a receiver. High-volume special effects like explosions or loud orchestral passages can quickly deplete a receiver's power reserves, resulting in sound that's flat and uninvolving. Models with high-current power are particularly well equipped to handle these challenges, reproducing dramatic surges of sound with more punch and greater fluidity than other receivers with similar wattage ratings.
How many channels of power do you need?
So what could you do with those extra two channels? Most 7.1 receivers let you assign the additional two channels to suit your needs. For example, you could use them to power a pair of speakers in a second listening zone. Or, if you have a large room and want fuller surround sound, you could create a 7.1-channel surround sound system. Finally, some models let you assign those two channels to compatible floor-standing front left and right speakers (known as "bi-amping"), giving you a fuller, more detailed front soundstage. See our articles on powering your multi-room system, bi-amping your speakers, and surround sound speaker placement for more info.
A 5.1 system can provide full-bodied, immersive surround sound in small-to-medium sized rooms. If you're setting up a 5.1 system in a large room, consider a higher-powered receiver and larger speakers.
A 7.1 surround sound system is a great option for large rooms. The two additional back surround speakers provide more seamless surround effects.
If you're creating a large theater room, with multiple rows of seating, you may want to consider a 9.2 surround sound system. Back surround speakers ensure convincing surround effects. Depending on your receiver, you can use the two additional front speakers to add width or height to your front soundstage. Finally, an additional subwoofer (".2") ensures deep, room-filling bass.
Most 7- or 9-channel home theater receivers let you assign extra channels of power. For example, you could enjoy 5.1 surround sound in your main room, plus stereo music on your deck. Or, you may be able to bi-amp your front left and right speakers for punchier, more detailed sound.
Getting it all connected: inputs and outputs
If you're not already familiar with home audio/video connections, hooking up a home theater receiver can seem daunting. But you can get most of the way there by keeping one basic rule in mind: always use the highest-quality A/V connection available. In most cases, that means using HDMI. If the component you're connecting doesn't have HDMI, you can fall back on a combination of component video and optical or coaxial digital audio.
Click on the jacks in the back panel photo below to see descriptions. Read our articles on audio/video interconnects and setting up your receiver for more info.
Today's Bluetooth-ready receivers require a separate, proprietary adapter for Bluetooth connectivity. The name of the input varies by brand -- check the receiver's owner's manual for details.
Control connections
These connections enable various forms of system control. For example, if you had your home theater system hidden away in a nearby closet and can't control your receiver using your usual remote, you may use some of these to control the receiver. Options here can vary by model, so be sure to check the owner's manual for details.
Most Internet-ready receivers require a wired connection to your home network.
Digital audio
Coaxial and optical digital audio inputs let you connect audio-only components, like a CD player or multi-room music player. You may also use digital audio inputs to get surround sound from audio/video components; for example, you could connect a DVD player via component video and optical digital audio.
HDMI in/out
HDMI inputs allow you to connect high-definition components, like a Blu-ray player, cable box, and video game console. The HDMI output sends those video signals along to your TV. If your receiver has video conversion or upconversion, the HDMI output can also send along video signals from component and composite video inputs.
7.1 Ch in
Some SACD players feature 7.1-channel audio outputs - connect them to your receiver's 7.1-channel audio inputs to enjoy surround sound from your SACDs.
Composite video
Composite video is the lowest quality video connection. With older video components, it may be your only option. But we recommend going with component or HDMI if you can.
Component video
Component video is an excellent back-up when HDMI isn't an option. It can deliver high-definition video, and provides a smooth, progressive-scan picture for non-HD sources.
Most receivers still have an FM tuner and antenna connection. Some models may also offer HD radio or satellite radio.
Analog in/out
The stereo audio inputs let you connect any component with stereo audio outputs. However, if HDMI, optical or coaxial digital audio connections are an option, you'll likely get better sound quality. The stereo audio outputs can send stereo music to a receiver in a second listening room.
Pre out
Use these outputs to connect a separate, external amplifier. In that case, the receiver provides the pre-amplification processing, and passes the signal onto the external amp for amplication.
Speaker Connections
Here's where you connect your speakers. Be sure to match each speaker's location in your room to the label on the receiver.
Some receivers feature detachable power cables - a bonus if you might be interested in swapping out the included power cable for a high-quality one down the road.
Figuring out what you need
Start by making a list of the video and audio components you own or want to own. Beside each, note the type of connection(s) it calls for. This will help you determine how many and what types of inputs and wireless connections you'll need on your new receiver. You'll want to make sure it's got enough of each type of audio/video connection for your existing gear. Ideally, it'll give you a little room to grow, too.
For example, if you were using the sample chart below, you'd want a receiver with at least four HDMI inputs (and preferably extra to allow room to grow), two HDMI outputs, Apple AirPlay®, and a built-in HD Radio tuner. Print our blank component connection chart to figure out how many of each input and output you need on your new receiver.

Connecting your HDTV
Many receivers can convert analog video signals, such as those from the original Wii (or other devices connected by component video), and send them to your TV via HDMI. Receivers with video conversion won't improve the image quality of any analog sources. The main benefit is having just one cable running from your receiver to your HDTV. If you connect a Wii via component video (an analog connection) to a receiver without video conversion, you'll also have to run a component video cable to your TV and change the TV's input selection when, for example, you switch from your Blu-ray player to your Wii.
As discussed above, some receivers also feature video upconversion. In addition to giving you single-cable convenience, these models can enhance the quality of both standard- and high-definition video sources.
Connecting a second TV
Want multiple viewing areas at your next playoffs party? A receiver capable of sending video signals to two TVs simultaneously will give sports fans plenty of room to watch the action.
If you'd like to connect a second HDTV, think about what you'd like to be able to watch on that TV, and pay close attention to a receiver's capabilities. Receivers that simply have a second HDMI output will play the same content on both TVs. If you want to be able to watch different content on each screen, look for receivers that have an "independent zone 2 HDMI output" (or similar phrasing).
If you're looking at a receiver with an independent zone 2 HDMI output, also be aware that it may not be able to play all connected sources on the second TV. For example, many HDMI zone 2 outputs can't convert or upscale analog signals, which means that any sources connected by composite, S-video, or component video wouldn't be viewable on the second TV. One possible workaround is to use the receiver's component video output instead of zone 2 HDMI.
If you'd like help setting up a dual-TV system, give us a call at 1-888-955-6000.
A quick note about 3D TVs
Virtually all new home theater receivers are 3D-capable. Even if you don't have a 3D TV now, there's a good chance your next one will be 3D. But don't worry — with 3D-capable receivers and TVs, your regular 2D content will still look great.
Connecting your audio/video sources
Getting surround sound from over-the-air (OTA) broadcasts
There are a couple of ways you can get surround sound signals from your TV's tuner back to your receiver. Many newer home theater receivers and HDTVs include HDMI connections that support an audio return channel, or "ARC." ARC-capable HDMI connections can carry audio signals from the TV back to the receiver so that you can enjoy OTA broadcasts in full surround sound. If ARC isn't an option, many TVs include an optical digital audio output in order to get OTA surround signals to your receiver. See our article on connecting your HDTV for more info.
Some receivers let you stream music from a compatible smartphone or other device
Add flexibility to your system using wireless technologies
More and more receivers include technologies to wirelessly access content. Those with AirPlay or Bluetooth (an adapter may be required) can access music on compatible devices, while those with DLNA can often access music, videos, and photos. In addition to cutting down on cable clutter, these technologies can make your system more flexible. For example, say your friend comes over and wants to play you a cool new album they just bought. With an AirPlay-enabled receiver, they could play it through your system using their iPhone or iPod touch. See our article on AirPlay for more info.
Connecting a turntable
If your turntable has a built-in phono preamp, you'll be able to connect it to any receiver via standard stereo audio cables. If it doesn't have a phono preamp, you'll need a receiver with a phono input, or you'll need to add a separate phono preamp between your turntable and receiver. See our article about turntables for more info.
Be aware of limited connectivity options in certain cases
Note that for some newer components, such as the Apple TV, HDMI may be the only video connection option. There may be workarounds – for example, sending video to your TV via HDMI and audio to your receiver via optical digital – but you'll lose some of the convenience and streamlined connectivity that today's receivers offer.
Also, if you're trying to connect older video components that don't have HDMI or component video connections, note that some newer receivers don't have S-video inputs. In that case, composite video may be your only option.
Should you set up your receiver for multi-room music?
If you're interested in building a multi-room music system, you've got a lot of options. To figure out what kind of system is best for you, consider what kind of content you'd like to listen to and how you'd like to listen to it.
Many home theater receivers can work as part of a multi-room music system. You may want to go with this more traditional type of multi-room system if you'd like to be able to listen to the sources connected to your receiver. For example, if you want to be able to listen to the game while you're grilling outside, installing a pair of outdoor speakers and connecting them to your home theater receiver may be the way to go. It's worth noting, however, that most receivers can only play sources connected via analog audio in the second listening area. One possible workaround is to make two audio connections from the same component: a digital connection for your main listening area, and an analog connection for your patio. For more details on setting up receiver-based multi-room system, see our article on Powering a Multi-room Music System.
If, on the other hand, you're interested in accessing digital music sources – including your own music collection, Internet radio stations, as well as services like Pandora and Spotify – a wireless multi-room system, such as Sonos, may be a better fit. For more info, see our article about wireless multi-room options.
Usability: on-screen displays and remote controls
In almost every respect, today's sophisticated home theater receivers are more fun and more capable than those of previous generations. They offer more refined video processing, more detailed surround sound, and a ton of entertainment options. Perhaps the biggest challenge that receiver designers face is how to conceal all that complexity and make their products easy to operate.
A clear, intuitive GUI (the graphical user interface that displays on your TV screen) can make initial setup quicker and easier, and can also improve certain aspects of day-to-day use. To get a sense of what makes a good GUI, we set up a few home theater receivers in the Crutchfield Labs and gave them a try.

Yamaha receivers offer digital soundfields that mimic the acoustics of famous performance venues.
GUI features we liked
Explanatory text
"PL IIX Music Panorama," "TrueHD Loudness Management," "i/p scaler" – the titles for receiver settings are not always immediately clear or intuitive, and their meanings can change depending on where you are in the menu system. That's why having simple, plain-English definitions of what each setting does can make a huge difference when it comes to usability. Instead of taking the time to search through the receiver's owner's manual, or just making a choice and crossing our fingers, we can make an informed decision on the spot.
Effectively using connected sources to test your setup
During the setup process, even experienced A/V geeks may accidentally connect cables to the wrong input, or even forget a cable altogether. And although double-checking cable connections is generally the first trouble-shooting step, it can sometimes take a little time to figure out exactly where something went wrong.
That's why we love interactive GUIs that use our sources to check connections during the setup process. For example, as the last step in testing our Internet connection, the Denon 3313 asked us whether we could hear the Internet radio station it was playing. Similarly, Onkyo's 717 walked through each of our connected A/V components, playing the picture and sound from each and asking if both were working correctly.
Remote apps for smartphones and tablets
Some receiver manufacturers offer Apple and Android apps that allow you to use your smartphone or tablet as a remote control (with compatible models). Although we tend to use the receiver's remote for things like initial setup and source selection, the remote apps are generally much better at things like navigating digital music sources and controlling multi-zone playback.
Yamaha's remote app for iPad offers easy touchscreen control for multi-zone playback, as well as volume control, source selection, browsing free Internet radio streams, and other functions.
So, for example, we'd opt to use a standard remote if we were settling in to watch a Blu-ray movie. Finding the volume button in the dark is easier with a hard-button remote, and quicker than navigating into a smartphone or tablet app.
If, on the other hand, we wanted to listen to Pandora or Spotify, the app offered much quicker, more intuitive navigation. Instead of using the hard-button remote to laboriously scroll through lists of artists, genres, etc., we could use the app to simply tap the content we wanted to listen to. The apps also made multi-zone playback a snap – being able to see and select each zone and source was more straightforward than pressing a combination of buttons on the included remote.
Marantz's remote app lets you make selections from online music services like Spotify.

With the CMS Connectors and the availability of direct publishing, users can easily conduct the entire process of creating, managing, and publishing technical content from within FrameMaker. There is no need for external tools. This will increase productivity and the return on investment for DITA implementations."—Wim Hooghwinkel, Technical Documentation Implementation Consultant
"The mix of new features related to DITA authoring in Adobe FrameMaker 12 confirms it has come of age as an XML editor. Native code‐view options, enhanced whitespace handling, and a fast editing environment mean that FrameMaker alone can be used to publish to HTML5, ePubs, Kindle, PDF, and other outputs. This can be done using native publishing capabilities in FrameMaker, or I can connect to Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server 12 for more options. I can even work directly from my content management system. FrameMaker 12 really is the 'new' player in the field, even though it comes with over 25 years of history!"—Bernard Aschwanden, Founder & President, Publishing Smarter READ FULL REVIEW
"When producing automated Adobe FrameMaker workflow solutions for my clients using ExtendScript, performance can be a concern. Fortunately, Adobe FrameMaker 12 delivers significant performance improvements compared to previous versions."—Rick Quatro, President, Carmen Publishing, Inc.

Corporate Governance
- 7-weeks
- 1.5 credits
- Prerequisite: MBA Core, for those not in the MBA program, graduate student status and instructor's permission
This course is characterized by candid discussions in an interactive forum regarding the substantial responsibility of corporate officers and directors who are leading corporations and organizations through major opportunities, challenges, and crises. These are the individuals who are responsible for establishing, revising, and maintaining governance practices in the cultures of their respective organizations, and markedly improving the effectiveness of their boards, their advisory groups, and their institutions. While many issues in corporate governance remain controversial, a critical aspect of this course is to acquaint participants with the broad range of governance options, their implementation, best practices, and their consequences. The use of actual cases and materials, ethical dilemmas, critical thinking, and crisis scenarios often facilitate the presentation of the course. The many elements of this course reflect a common theme. Effective, responsive corporate governance enables practices designed to enhance the profitability of the enterprise, increase long-term stakeholder value, reflect the principles of independence, link compensation to performance, and assure transparency in its transactions. Corporate governance, at its best, is a sustainable competitive advantage.

UMMC Ekaterinburg have announced the signing of another player for next season.
Veteran guard Tatiana Popova has joined the team from Dynamo Moscow.
The 1.79 guard, who is 27, averaged 10 points and 3.5 assists for Dynamo in their two EuroCup Women games this season.
She played on the Russian side that captured the gold medal at EuroBasket Women 2011 in Poland.
UMMC won a Russian Cup and league double while finishing third in the EuroLeague Women.
Meanwhile, a valuable frontcourt presence for UMMC, Russia international Tatiana Vidmer, is heading in the opposite direction.
Dynamo will get a seasoned veteran in the 26-year-old power forward, who averaged 3.5 points and 4.9 rebounds per game in the EuroLeague Women.
Vidmer played an average of 14.2 minutes per game in Europe's elite club competition.
She, too, was in the Russian squad that captured the gold medal last year in Poland.

Reclaimed Styrofoam robot invites visitors to create a 'bot of their own for a chance to win prizes -
A 30-foot tall robot made of reclaimed Styrofoam was recently constructed in the lobby at the Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum (The Discovery). The robot, called a "Styrobot," invites visitors of all ages to participate in the museum's Styrobot Challenge.

Entries will be judged on five criteria: creativity, personality, originality, function and stability. Entries must be delivered to The Discovery by 5:00pm on Sunday, December 15, 2013. In addition to first, second and third place prizes, there will also be a people's choice award (first place winner receives a one-year Family Fun membership (or renewal) to The Discovery—see website for a list of other prizes).
All entries in the Styrobot Challenge will be on display at The Discovery from December 21, 2013 to January 11, 2014.

What I know is that this one is one of my favorite vanillas of all time. On me, this one has a vanilla liqueur aroma that develops to a dry woody base with some pepper notes.
Feminine Or Unisex?

I find it unisex. However, I don't think it is as great as other people make it out to be.

How does this compare to Creed's Sublime Vanille?
SDV is definitely different enough from the others to warrant a purchase. It's also far superior to them.
Rare, vintage, and niche off-site sales.
Splits: Ferragamo Incense Suede, Trumper Eucris, O'driu Eva Kant.
New atomizer and decanting supplies for sale.

My blog: http://scentedpassion.blogspot.com/
Buy it. Cause it is a diffirent vanille. And people around you will love it whenever you wear it. And of course, it is unisex.
Last edited by chocolateguy; 31st August 2010 at 01:59 AM.
Unisex. One of my favorite vanilla scents for its ease of wear. Very boozy vanilla, a little dry and not too sweet but not quite as smoky as I thought it could be. SDV is a totally different animal from Tobacco Vanille & Back to Black. My only gripe is it seems overpriced.
Another vote for unisex.
I love GSDV! To me it's unisex, there are lots of desginer fragrances for men more feminine than GSDV. It got a wonderful booziness and smokiness which I love, and of course the vanilla is beautiful too.
Anyone know where to actually get the real bottle? I just have some decants from TPC, I'd love to get the real bottle. I heard it's exclusive to some Guerlain boutiques, but is it REALLY impossible to order it online (no ebay please)?
If you are a lover of vanilla prominent scents and/or Guerlain scents, you owe it to yourself to get a sample and try it. IMO, it's best experienced in cool crisp weather.
I believe they speak American. ;')
Anyone know what movie that's from?
If they didn`t ship it to your countrie, you can use this service:
I`ve ordered mine through ebay. Sometimes a bottle shows up there.
Edit: Oh... Just need to know how to pronounce Spiritueuse. Otherwise I will end up as Inspector Clouseau ordering a "amburguer"... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLuc6rtWkrM)

The final vowel sound (which I've written "eu") is the only tricky part. Think "ir" as in bird, but keep your lips rounded and don't pronounce the "r"...
I wanted to like SDV, but I can't get past something in it that reminds me of olive juice. What is going on there? Is my brain misinterpreting the cedar?
I'd call it unisex and not think twice about it. What's holding me back is the price; $250 for 75ml is mad spendy, but it's the best vanilla I've ever smelled, so it's got that going for it, which is nice.
yes, and sadly it comes with the world's cheapest and most tacky atomizer, the same you get from any decant supply store. it doesn't even have an overcap so the juice in the sprayer and diptube evaporate out and if even if you go a day or two without spraying you gotta prime the pump again. the bottle with the gold plate looks great but that screw on atomizer is so cheap and makes the presentation embarrassing imo. for 250 i expect better
Agree that the presentation could have been better.
I wear SDV on a frequent basis, and have never been questioned.
I love my super-macho powerhouses, but am also very comfortable with SDV. On my skin it develops into a long-lasting woody drydown that comes across more on the masculine side of the unisex scale.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
I'm a guy who regularly wears Dior Homme, Midnight in Paris, and other "feminine-leaning" scents without hesitation, but I find SDV too sweet.
Tobacco Vanille renders this one obsolete to me
My sales thread
SDV is an excellent vanilla fragrance. It can be considered unisex, but very close to the feminine side. Mix in a small dash of leather, and you have Cuir Beluga. I love both.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
I am very interested in Cuir Beluga and will be getting a decant soon. Seems a lot of the private decant vendors have SDV but not many have Cuir Beluga or Tonka Imperiale, so I'm stuck paying the high prices of STC or TPC.
i actually think Cuir Beluga smells almost nearly identical to Tonka Imperiale. those thierry wasser creations share a similar dna to my nose. SDV is pretty unique in the Guerlain lineup imo
I'm on my third bottle of SDV, two retails and one tester. That said. It's is madly overrated, overpriced and overhyped. For material factors it's the worst of the high-end Guerlains. Compared to the Derby/ALD type bottle or the newer exclusives with the old-fashioned puff style atomizer it seems really unimpressive. Shipping can be a nightmare too because all the packaging and boxing weighs a ton unless you get an unboxed tester. That said the testers have a superior atomizer in my opinion.
As for the juice well it's all subjective. However I really cannot see how it is worth close to $300 unless you're an absolute Guerlain vanilla fanatic. Even then I'd recommend Cologne du 68, unless the sillage is that important. Better vanillas exist. There is no doubt about that. Even Guerlain themselves have better vanillas. The boozy quality and sweetness makes me think of cheap, plastic-bottled imitation vanilla essence to be frank. That's a scent I love which carries a lot of good memories for me so I do enjoy it, but for others this may not be the case. Especially if what you're seeking is a natural, classy vanilla which screams high-end.
I would strongly recommend getting a decant or sample first. Especially if you've experienced niche-quality vanilla scents because it may well leave you flat.
As for whether or not it's unisex I'd say from a marketing standpoint Guerlain are on the money aiming it at women, but that doesn't mean it cannot be worn and enjoyed by men, nor does it mean men will get funny looks if they wear it.
I love Guerlain's Cologne du 68 but am not a big fan of SDV. Cologne du 68 is one of the most underrated frags IMO. It's like the forgotten Guerlain.
I find SDV to be unisex, not feminine. I prefer Tonka Imperiale, however.
Current top 10 (No order):
1. Pure Havane
2. Menthe Fraiche
3. Tobacco Vanille
4. L'Air Du Desert Marocain
5. Green Irish Tweed
6. Fahrenheit
7. Musc Ravageur
8. Tonka Imperial
9. Gucci Pour Homme II
10. Dior Homme Intense
I adore SDV and absolutely love wearing it. It's totally unisex, as far as I smell.
Current Top Five:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte
4. Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
5. Creed Original Vetiver
Tonka Imperial is far better IMO... I wish I never sold my bottle!
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven

Provides a shell-like capability for handling external processes.
Module Overview
Groosh is a Unix like shell written in Groovy. It has also been known as the Process Module but was renamed (back) when it was updated to work with Groovy 1.0.
The current version of Groosh is 0.2.0
Team Members
- Yuri Schimke - Founder and original contributor
- Alexander Egger [alexander.egger at campus02.at] - Current maintainer
Source and binary releases are available at http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy-contrib/groosh/releases.
A RPM package for openSUSE 10.2 can be installed via the openSUSE Build Service repository http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:eggeral/openSUSE_10.2.
A RPM package for openSUSE 10.3 can be installed via the openSUSE Build Service repository http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:eggeral/openSUSE_10.3.
If you use the openSUSE RPM, just install it and you are ready to go.
If you use the binary distribution e.g. (groosh-0.2.0-bin.tar.gz).
Untar it and copy groosh-0.2.0.jar to your $GROOVY_HOME/lib.
Try the following script to check if it worked:
Have a look at the examples directory for more examples how to use
Groosh is based on Groovy 1.5.1.
The following example shows Groosh in action:
Another example :
Sometimes the name of a shell command conflicts with a Groovy method (for example ''grep''). This means that
does not execute the shell command, but the Groovy method grep(...).
As a workaround for that you may prefix any shell command with _ this means the example above becomes
Source Control
The Groosh source code is available from the Codehaus SVN at http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy-contrib/groosh/trunk.
Building from the source distribution
Untar/unzip the source distribution file (e.g. groosh-0.2.0-src.tar.gz)
Groosh uses Maven 2 for building. You have to have Maven 2 installed.
Just execute mvn in the groosh directory and groosh-0.2.0.jar gets build
as well as the source and binary distribution.
Building the SVN version
Check out the source from
Building works the same as for the source distribution.
