Phuket Girls, Ladyboys and Nightlife Tips
Some Fun and Useful Stuff
Along Bangla Road many bars don't open before 21:00. The official closing time is 02:00 and in recent years the authorities have cracked down on places operating later, but it's still possible to find places open until 05:00 - 06:00.
Just ask around at the bars to find the late-night venues. But remember that these places are circumventing the law, so there is a chance that they will be raided by police, with patrons facing ID checks and urine tests for drugs.

Tips and Glossary
- Go-Go Bar: An enclosed place where girls dance on the stage.
- Katoeys - Transvestites, sometimes prettier, taller and slimer than real girls, but mostly too 'feminine' to be real.
- Beer Bar or Bar Beer: An open-air bar, surrounded by girls calling you 'handsome man' with a big convincing smile, inviting you to drink there and more.
- Soi: A small backstreet street or lane.
- Ping Pong Show: A show performed by a lady involving ping pong balls, but not in the way that you remember it played at school.
- Lady Drink: A small drink, probably more expensive than yours. The more drinks you offer to the lady, the more attention she will pay you. See it as a fee.
- Bar fine - This is the fee to cover a bar's 'loss' when taking a girl out of the place for a 'date'.
- The Hanging Bell - Most beer bars have a bell at the bar within easy reach of patrons. Grasp the rope, give it a good ring: Guess what? You just bought a round of drinks for everyone around the bar. Use sparingly.
- 'Hang' and 'Wakie' - Two drinks available in small bottles sold in most convenience stores. When planning a serious drinking night out, drink one 'Hang' before party, another after party (if you still can), and a 'Wakie' in the morning. It seems to work.
- Connect Four - A game where you try to align four colour tokens on a vertical board... you will probably win as long as money is not involved and the reverse applies.
Bar Girls in Patong - First Dates
Girlie bars in Patong (mostly bar beers are girlie bars) have up to 10 'bar hostesses' willing to go with tourists for money. Many girls are looking for a boyfriend, some for a short time, others longer term - mainly as a financial asset. If you get on well, she may well accompany you on trips around Thailand, providing fun company and local insight but you will have to negotiate a rate first. You will also have to pay a 'bar fine' each time for a 'date'. After that, it's up to you!
Bar fine - This is the fee to cover a bar's 'loss' when taking a girl out of the place for a date and can vary with each establishment. Usually 200 -500 baht for the evening. If you're planning to spend a few days or longer with the lady, you'll need to negotiate the fine with the bar. This does not cover her fees which are best discussed directly. Night rates vary between 1,000 - 4,000 baht and like everything else, are negotiable.
Bar Girls in Patong - A Few Tips
It's generally good advice to stay with a girl for only one night. This avoids the situation where after two nights, she considers you her boyfriend. This can produce jealous tantrums if you look, or are tempted by other girls - even if you are paying!
If you decide to take her on trips be prepared to pay for meals, tickets and extras. A gift will be expected, usually anything gold or valuable. Gold is both a status symbol and an insurance when the money runs out. The pawn shop is never far away.
You can be sure you'll be asked for your email address, so she can keep in touch with you, in case her family needs money. She will keep in touch with you, but be aware she may get help from friends or other visitors to write back, so don't write anything you don't want others to read. Sooner or later you may receive an e-mail requesting financial help because her mother is sick, or the family buffalo has died. The same email will reach several boyfriends - not just you. And that's just the start...
The above is general advice based on general experience, not every working girl is the same. You can have lots of fun and a great time, if you remember that working girls work for money!
Katoeys, Ladyboys and Transvestites
Katoeys (transvestites or ladyboys) used to be easy to spot but with modern surgical advances it's getting harder and harder to tell who is who. Often taller, slimmer and sexier than real girls, and clearly with more volumes and shape, they also tend to be more a lot more 'feminine' than necessary and sport a flouncing walk. Usually wearing large and fancy colourful dresses when walking up and down the street to attract customers, their outfits shrink to the bare legal minimum when working in bars.
Beyond these tips, if you are still not sure, a good way to catch them out is from their voices... but here too, after years of practice, some might just fool you. Ladyboys might even invite you to judge the quality of the silicon job, so it is up to you to give a fair opinion... note that at this point, a lady drink would probably be in order.
The seemingly friendly katoeys (ladyboys) are infamous for lifting wallets and having sudden bursts of nasty behaviour, so be extra careful around these 'ladies'. Just use your common sense and make sure your belongings are secure. If you take photos of katoeys, be prepared to pay or things could turn nasty.
Getting Around at Night
At night Soi Bangla turns into a pedestrianised walking street with tuk tuks and motorcycle taxis waiting at both ends to provide a ride home. Prices are negotiable and tend to increase with the number of passengers, the distance and the lateness of the hour. Many tuk tuks try to charge excessive and inflated rates so it's best to check with other visitors and locals first. ALWAYS agree on the price before you get in as it's difficult to negotiate after the journey.
Both motorcycle taxis and tuk tuks can be flagged down anywhere along any of the streets. Head for Banana Disco on the Beach Road (Thaveewong Rd) where most of the tuk tuks and motorcycle taxis park. Or at the other end of Bangla (near Tai Pan.)
While Patong is pretty safe for women. It's not advisable to travel alone by tuk tuk or motorbike late at night.
Dangers & Annoyances
The streets of Patong are quite safe at night. In fact, safer than in many Western cities. Incidences of violence against tourists are very rare, though there have been cases of purse snatching and pickpocketing. In discos, it's rare to see any problems as the crowd is very international and not obsessed with drinking themselves to oblivion.
The most common visitor complaint is of harassment by local touts trying to lure people into anything from Indian restaurants to timeshare presentations to tailor shops to tuk tuk tours. Ignoring these characters usually does the trick. Women are generally safe to go out at night, though it's not advisable to travel alone in tuk tuks and motorcycles.
Tourist Police
Dedicated to visitors' safety, there's a Police Information Centre at the bottom of Soi Bangla on the Beach Road. If you are victim of a negative situation or witness an accident, just dial 1155 and speak slowly and clearly. The Tourist Police will help you.Police Emergency: 191Tourist Police: 1155Room with Breakfast

NO police launch investigation into reports some officers looted
By JULIA SILVERMAN
Associated Press Writer
NEW ORLEANS- The police department has launched an investigation into whether officers participated in the giant looting spree that overtook the city after Hurricane Katrina, a spokesman said Thursday.
"Out of 1,750 officers, we're looking into the possibility that maybe 12 officers were involved in misconduct," police spokesman Marlon Defillo said.
He rejected the use of the term "looting," but said authorities were investigating "the possibility of appropriation of non-essential items during the height of Katrina, from businesses."
Earlier this week, the city's police superintendent, Eddie Compass, resigned, as the looting reports gained currency, along with intense questioning of earlier police claims of widespread violence after the storm.

Published: October 3, 2003
A selective listing by Times critics of new or noteworthy movies playing this weekend in New York City. * denotes a highly recommended film. Ratings and running times are in parentheses.
Now Playing
''ANYTHING ELSE,'' starring Jason Biggs, Christina Ricci and Jimmy Fallon. Directed by Woody Allen (R, 108 minutes). Mr. Allen, blessedly declining to cast himself as the romantic lead, appears to have shaken off the tone-deafness and compulsiveness that have marred his last three pictures. While far from his best work, this slight, tart antiromantic comedy has a loose, easy rhythm and an impressive number of funny lines and gags. Mr. Biggs, who is perhaps a little too amiable for the job, plays the Woody Allen surrogate, a comedy writer named Jerry Falk who is saddled with a difficult manager (Danny DeVito) and an impossible girlfriend, a would-be actress named Amanda (Ms. Ricci). Amanda, a sexual dynamo and a manipulative head case, might have been an exercise in sour misogyny, but Ms. Ricci has a feral intelligence that turns her into a finely drawn comic monster. Mr. Allen himself appears as David Dobel, an older comedy writer who appoints himself Jerry's mentor. The character -- paranoid, vengeful, bluntly anti-intellectual -- is both the continuation of other Woody Allen characters and a rebuke to their needy, self-conscious, analytical approaches to life (A. O. Scott).
* ''CASA DE LOS BABYS,'' starring Maggie Gyllenhaal, Daryl Hannah, Marcia Gay Harden, Susan Lynch, Mary Steenburgen and Lili Taylor. Written and directed by John Sayles (R, 95 minutes). A typical John Sayles ensemble piece, the movie follows six white American women, all but one over 30, impatiently waiting out their lengthy residency requirements in an unidentified South American country before picking up their adoptive babies. If some of the jigsaw pieces in this beautifully acted movie are too fragmentary and crowded together, its even-handed view of two cultures uneasily transacting the most personal business resonates with truth. The movie adheres to the essayistic format of Mr. Sayles's earlier movies, and its attitude is rooted in his understanding of the degree to which money, class and ethnicity determine our points of view (Stephen Holden).
''COLD CREEK MANOR,'' starring Dennis Quaid, Sharon Stone and Stephen Dorff. Directed by Mike Figgis (R, 119 minutes). A serious filmmaker like Mr. Figgis can be forgiven for slumming when he has a cast as stellar as the one that infuses the scream-by-numbers thriller with more psychological credibility than its screenplay merits. Mr. Quaid and Ms. Stone are Cooper and Leah Tilson, a professional couple with two children who flee the New York rat race to settle on a country estate purchased at a fire-sale price. The bad vibes, along with an infestation of snakes, slither into the mansion the moment the previous tenant (Mr. Dorff), a sinister young roughneck fresh out of prison, appears. The battle between the city slicker and the violent ex-jailbird who wants his house back becomes a primal male struggle, fraught with sexual paranoia (Holden).
* ''DEMONLOVER.'' Starring Connie Nielsen, Chloë Sevigny, Gina Gershon and Charles Berling. Directed by Olivier Assayas (unrated, 120 minutes). A tricky and ambitious techno thriller, ''Demonlover'' begins as a post-Hitchcockian corporate melodrama involving the fight to control a Japanese pornography company and slowly turns into a cinematic video game. Its enigmatic antiheroine (Ms. Nielsen) is an industrial spy who suggests a female cyber-age equivalent of the archetypal Man With No Name. The movie plays head games as relentlessly as she pursues espionage and clashes with other corporate spies, played by Ms. Gershon and Ms. Sevigny. On its way to a nightmarish cul-de-sac, the conceptually audacious but not always successful film makes the same kind of leaps into the irrational as ''Mulholland Drive'' and ''Fight Club'' (Holden).
* ''DUPLEX,'' starring Ben Stiller, Drew Barrymore and Eileen Essell. Directed by Danny DeVito (PG-13, 89 minutes). Mr. Stiller and Ms. Barrymore play Alex and Nancy, a young couple whose dreams of finding real-estate bliss in Brooklyn are complicated by their new tenant, an ancient and annoying woman (Ms. Essell) who annoys them almost to the point of homicide. Mr. DeVito's comedies have often explored the murderous rage that lurks within the hearts of otherwise civilized people, and this one, sharply written by Larry Doyle, turns Alex and Nancy's predicament into a double-edged satire of gentrification, yuppie entitlement and New York real estate obsession. The old lady, while monstrously manipulative and stubborn, might also represent an indomitable urban life force resisting the forces of gentrification (Scott).
''THE FIGHTING TEMPTATIONS,'' starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Beyoncé Knowles. Directed by Jonathan Lynn (PG-13, 123 minutes). Mr. Gooding plays Darrin Hill, a slick, dishonest advertising executive who returns to his hometown in Georgia for his aunt's funeral. There, because of a clause in her will, he becomes director of the church choir that banished his mother for singing R&B and has done the same to his boyhood sweetheart, a sultry chanteuse named Lily (Ms. Knowles). The struggle between sacred and profane impulses is an old one in American popular music, and here it is given an interesting contemporary twist. This movie, lumpily directed by Mr. Lynn, was produced by MTV Films, the filmmaking arm of a network not known for its piety. But ''The Fighting Temptations'' is thoroughly sanctified, presenting a carefully inoffensive story filled with inspirational performances by (in addition to Ms. Knowles), Shirley Caesar, Montel Jordan and, best of all, the O'Jays, who just happen to work at the local barbershop (Scott).

Documentary Features Christina Applegate, Tom Arnold, Dan Aykroyd, Bo Derek, Jon Lovitz, Lorne Michaels, Jay Mohr, Mike Myers, Bob Odenkirk, Bob Saget, Adam Sandler, Molly Shannon, David Spade, Among Others
"I Am Chris Farley" Premieres On Spike Monday, August 10 at 9:00pm (ET/PT)
New York, NY, July 1, 2015 – Spike TV, in association with Network Entertainment, presents the definitive look at one of America's hilariously distinctive comedic performers, Chris Farley, in the original documentary "I Am Chris Farley." The film will open theatrically in New York and Los Angeles on July 31st, 2015 and will debut on Spike Monday, August 10 at 9:00pm ET/PT, followed by DVD, Blu Ray and Video-On-Demand availability.
Chris Farley lived his life full speed and committed to making everyone around him laugh out loud, and "I Am Chris Farley" tells his hilarious, touching and wildly entertaining story for the first time ever – from his early days in Madison, Wisconsin, and at Marquette University, through his work at the legendary Second City to his rapid rise to the top of the comedy world on "Saturday Night Live" and in hit films like Tommy Boy and Black Sheep.
The film showcases the performer's most memorable characters and skits from television and film, paired with iconic photographs, home movies and family snapshots, to fully round out the story of this comedy legend – a bear of a man who nevertheless had remarkable grace and physicality. Clips from Farley's most unforgettable performances fill the documentary, from his breathtaking Chippendales audition alongside Patrick Swayze, to his comically ill-fated salesman in Tommy Boy, to his diatribes as Matt Foley, the motivational speaker who "lives in a van down by the river!"
Sharing insights into the beloved funnyman are such co-stars and colleagues such as Christina Applegate, Tom Arnold, Dan Aykroyd, Bo Derek, Pat Finn, Jon Lovitz, Lorne Michaels, Jay Mohr, Mike Myers, Bob Odenkirk, Bob Saget, Adam Sandler, Will Sasso, Molly Shannon, David Spade, Brian Stack and Fred Wolf, and family members including his brother Kevin, a comedian and actor, and his brothers Tom Jr. and Johnny, with sister Barbara.
"I Am Chris Farley" is Directed and Produced by Derik Murray ("I Am Evel Knievel," "I Am Steve McQueen," "I Am Bruce Lee") and Co-Directed by Brent Hodge ("A Brony Tale"), along with Executive Producers Paul Gertz ("I Am Evel Knievel," "I Am Steve McQueen," "I Am Bruce Lee"), Kent Wingerak ("I Am Evel Knievel," "I Am Steve McQueen," "I Am Bruce Lee") and Robert Pirooz ("I Am Evel Knievel," "I Am Steve McQueen"). Spike's Kevin Kay, Jon Slusser, and Jaimee Kosanke also serve as Executive Producers. The documentary is the latest in Spike TV's original "I Am" series. The network debuted the critically acclaimed "I Am Dale Earnhardt" earlier this year along with "I Am Steve McQueen" and "I Am Evel Knievel" in 2014 and "I Am Bruce Lee" in 2012.
Theater information and other details about the film can be found at www.iamchrisfarley.com.

Daemen College : Student Life : Daemen Insight : Fall 2009 : Did you know?: Cyber Cafe Mural
In the Cyber Café, there is a fascinating mural on the far right wall. I'm guessing not many of you notice it as you walk through the entrance of Cyber because you're too worried about how much work you have to do, what you want for lunch that day, or that winter is reluctantly here. But if you ever get a chance to look closer at the mural, you'll see there's more than meets the eye.
The mural reflects the theme of the two words "Cyber" and "Café," making ordinary objects like a cup of coffee and a spoon seem intergalactic. The cup, saucer, and spoon represent the "Café" part while the computer and binary strip of numbers represent the "Cyber" part. The cup is the moon with the sun on fire behind it and the spoon represents Saturn because of the orbital ring. Then, we have an earth with swirling clouds representing the atmosphere. But wait! If you stand about five feet back and look in the bottom right-hand corner, it looks like a face! Or does it? Is it just a coincidence that artist wielding his or her brush chose to break the flow of the clouds in such a way? The image is half-drawn but still reminiscent of a face. The most mystifying part is if you walk right up to this section, the face disappears. This leaves a puzzling feeling of whether or not what you're seeing is real.
On the left hand side, an old Mac desktop floats mid-air with a stream of binary numbers behind it. Now wait a minute; the numbers at the top don't really look like numbers. If you examine the numbers closer, they aren't numbers at all; it's the artists' initials. Rather than add their names on the bottom of the mural like any other artist would do, these clever artists decided to integrate their names into the mural. Plus, on the computer keyboard, you can see the names of all the artists who helped draw and paint the mural. The names are Greg, Norman, Grace, Brett, Mandy, Katie, and Quiñones. You can also see the date it was finished on the number pad: 5-15-00.
The point is that there are things here at Daemen that you may have overlooked, even if it's small, like the Cyber Café mural. And you never know, there might be other things hidden around Daemen that you've never seen before, but only if you just take the time to look.
Health Care Studies Professor Justine Tutuska, accompanied by her students, traveled to the Dominican Republic to work on Public Health Issues and school building.
"I think one of the most crucial aspects of the Daemen curriculum is the required internship. I was an accounting intern for both a private health care company and a certified public accounting firm. I was able to apply lessons learned in the classroom to real business situations. When my internships were over, each company offered me a full-time position."

Jeep Wrangler With Two Wheels In The Air Escapes Tow Truck In Chicago!Posted

Picking up and towing cars from the street is not unusual, but towing them while there's a person inside definitely is.
And that's just half the story because the guy inside the Wrangler did not want to abandon his car and with the help of the Jeep's all-wheel drive system, made a successful getaway with everything caught on film.
We don't know if the car was being towed for a traffic violation or if it was being repossessed, but doing so with someone inside doesn't sound legal, now, does it…
The YouTube editor who uploaded the video, Tony Marengo, said:
"We are used to seeing cars get towed out of the Walgreens lot next door with lightning speed (Clark & Ontario). Usually NOT WITH A PERSON IN THE CAR, though. And this guy definitely didn't want to get towed..."

Centre of attention
Olly Barkley's sparkling return from injury should see him called up for England, says Gail Davis.
Last Updated: 07/05/10 9:48am
Sport is all about timing and Bath seem to have got it spot on. So too their centre Olly Barkley, whose return from injury and form should see him included in England's 44-man squad to tour Australia and New Zealand.
Only a few months ago Barkley, almost a forgotten man after an ill-fated season at Gloucester, would have found playing any rugby unimaginable. An eight-week lay-off after suffering from a fractured fibula turned into an eight-month injury hell.
"The low point came when I slipped on my crutches and two 80-year-old ladies had to help me up," said Barkley, which sums up what a hard time it has been for him. But the light has come flooding back in recent weeks, so bright you'd have needed your sunglasses. In the space of a week Barkley helped steer Bath to wins against Sale and Northampton. That gave the club a shot at Wasps and the top four, which they took with both hands.
If you could put everything you'd want from a 12, you'd probably come up with a performance like the one Barkley gave at Twickenham. He says his sharpness and speed isn't quite back after his long lay-off but his enthusiasm and love of the game is back since his return to Bath, and that's more than filling the gap in the meantime. Barkley's only just got going and he's desperate for his season not to come to an end.
Wasps are doing their best to keep spirits up after a dreadful two weeks. They are still in with a chance of making the top four but they'll have to go to Newcastle and win, while hoping Bath fail to beat Leeds. In reality they are facing a second season without silverware, this from a team that only a few years ago were winning almost every trophy going.
The closeness of the race for the top four this season is only going to get more competitive next year and with a host of experienced players leaving - even 22-year-old Danny Cipriani has been at the club seven years - it's going to be difficult to fill the void.
After Wasps it was off to the see the other team that only a few weeks ago looked odds on to claim that final playoff spot - London Irish. Toby Booth has already begun the post-mortem on their season. "The difference is Wasps were outplayed in the past few weeks, we shot ourselves in the foot," said the Exiles head coach.
Unfortunately for London Irish the defeat against Leeds wasn't the only time it's happened this season. The home game against the Scarlets in the Heineken Cup - the week after beating Leinster away - was another huge turning point in a campaign that promised so much.
Booth talked at the beginning of the season about the switch from being the underdog to expectant favourites and on the evidence of those two games there's still work to do. Before games such as Leeds they talked about not being complacent - London Irish smashed Andy Key and Neil Back's side 56-7 at Headingley - but the message just didn't seem to get through.
Cheerio Catty
If the unexpected does happen and Bath and Wasps slip up a win against Northampton it would give London Irish fourth spot, which would be a fitting end to an 18-year playing career that has seen Mike Catt win almost every honour in the game.
England's World Cup winner says they'll be no tears on Saturday (I suspect Lawrence Dallaglio and Richard Hill said the same, and they were blubbing by the end of their final games) and that he'll enjoy his moment, say thank you and move on. Catt says the rumours linking him to the Director of Rugby role at Worcester are well wide of the mark. He admits he's got a lot to learn and he's happiest on the training pitch in a hands-on role. He's not ready for the admin or politics.
There are a few English players who know they'll definitely be enjoying end of season finals. Jonny Wilkinson was looking a little battered and bruised - although relatively untouched compared to Imanol Harinordoquy - and he'd hardly slept when I interviewed him the day after Toulon's victory over Connacht, but he was revelling in the prospect of his first ever European final.
When Wilko joined Toulon he admitted it was a step into the unknown. Yes the club had cash to splash but just ask Manchester City fans if that brings you guaranteed success. This time last year Toulon only just avoided relegation; 12 months on and they have secured one final and finished top of the French Top 14 to guarantee a home semi-final.
Philippe St Andre deserves a huge amount of credit, not just for his coaching but for his talent gathering; what he's done is find a group of players who are desperate to win, but more importantly also willing to play for each other. As Wilkinson says, there are "no big egos in the team".
Despite the lack of sleep and one too many blows to the head Wilkinson was in good form, even joking about his team mates stumbling home as he was leaving for the airport that morning. Life in France is obviously agreeing with him. It may even have helped him deal with the disappointment of being dropped by England in the Six Nations. "If England never happens for me again I would honestly rather that than play and not perform," was his honest admission.

Denon AVR-5700 power problem

My denon receiver has been great ever since I first purchased it on amazon years ago....but a few weeks ago it started to act funny and bad. I was watching a dvd at about -15 to -20, then all of a sudden the receiver just shut off and red light started blinking, I had to go and press the power switch and turn it off then on to go back on again, but it would come on for a split second then repeat the same process of shutting down. It seems like an amp problem to my speakers because if I have the volume to OFF it won't switch off on me, i can pass through audio from multi-out to my tv and video with volume OFF perfectly still, but if i raise the volume higher than -40 it starts turning off, wtf? I can't play anything loud anymore, -40 is not loud. What's wrong with my receiver? Did it blow a fuse?

Posted May 01 2006 - 12:41 PM
What's the blinking red light indicating? It must have a label of some kind associated with it. The first thing I'd check is all the speaker wire connections. If you have bare wire connections to the terminals, a single stray strand touching the other speaker terminal can activate the receiver's protection mode. This is true for both ends, the receiver and the speaker. Also, on the receiver end, if a stray strand from the positive terminal touches the chassis, that could also trigger the protect mode. Another problem might be if your speakers are 4-ohm, and your receiver isn't rated for that. It can play fine for a number of years, but eventually the amplifier section will fail. Same thing if your speakers are inefficient and require a high volume setting. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Does the denon have a master reset still?
#4 of 8 OFFLINE
Posted January 14 2009 - 11:15 AM
My Denon AVR 5700 won't turn on either. The manual says to check either shorted outputs or cooling. Mine won't turn on when cold, so only thing they say is the outputs. Took a meter to all the speaker leads. No short. I have seen several posts on other websites about this problem and nobody has the answer. They all say "probably damaged something internal". The only "reset" I know if is the memory reset. When turning on, you hold two buttons in and get a default setting. This didn't work either because the set still went into "red blinky mode". I checked for licensed repair facilities and the nearest to me is 200mi. Hope someone knows what's going on because I have heard about several 5700's having this problem.

Posted January 15 2009 - 06:53 AM
Gathering more information on this problem, I think Wayne has hit it on the head when he said 4 ohm speakers will fry it sooner or later. I found that my speakers were 4 ohm. The 5700 is rated 6-16 ohm. Of course, when I bought the system (at a very high end Hi-Fi store) they sold me those 4 ohm speakers for the 5700. Go figure!!!
#6 of 8 OFFLINE
Posted November 03 2009 - 03:49 PM
My two cents. I've owned an AVR-5700 for probably ten years and have been running two NHT 1.3 speakers in parallel as center channels (above and below TV). That's definitely a low ohm load but it's run very well over the years with no overheating or shutting down even at some high volumes on ocassion. But recently I'm experiencing a problem wherein when the unit gets too warm (at least that's my guess) it cuts the preamp signal way down (I say "preamp" signal as today I used the preamp out connections and experienced the same problem using Adcom power amplifiers) but does not shut it off. Flipping the mute off and on sometimes brings back the full signal or simply letting it rest (read "cool") for just a bit. When the signal does come back the unit works just fine with either the internal or external amplifiers running the speakers. I'm thinking my problem may be the fan (or its thermostat) as it was not running when the signal was cut down after extended higher volumes. Perhaps using the external Adcom amps allowed the Denon to run longer as its own power amps were not helping heat up the internal circuitry. I'll probably try checking into a fan/thermostat replacement if I can get some good advice somewhere.

Posted September 21 2010 - 09:49 AM
HERE IS THE CHEAP EASY FIX - DIY I had exactly the same problem with shutting down at higher volume and it turns out that both fans were not working and therefore overheating. There is a "tunnel" inside the 5700 and two fans. One brings the air in at the front bottom and the other is exhaust out the back. I attached an external 120vac 4.7" fan to the back where the opening is for the "exhaust" fan. It has a manual speed controller and is plugged into the switched outlet on the receiver. The fan is made by circuit-test and has 106cfm at full speed, but I have the speed turned down to keep it quiet unless it will be cranked way up all day. Now it can be cranked for all it is worth and will not shut down. It does not even get hot at all now with constant airflow! you could figure out the problem and fix the fans but if you do not want the hassle then just do this and it will keep cool all the time!

- The interconnectedness of federal and state tax policies;
- How federal regulatory policy has a fiscal impact on states; and
- The impact of federal tax and spending policies on state economies and the potential indirect effect on state finances.

|Reviews for Dig Up The Bones
| AliseOdair chapter 25 . 5/25
This fic was sooo good! I finished it last night and I am just so happy that I can go and read the next one now! I literally couldn't put this down, so thank you! I literally ship Finnick with almost anything, and normally Finnick/OC pairings are a little boring or the OC isn't that likable, but I LOVE Elethea, she got on my nerves at first, but just enough! She almost made me want to keep reading! I loved seeing Finnick and Elethea's relationship grown and I can't wait to see what comes next for them!
| Abi117 chapter 25 . 3/3
Great story! I loved it! Can't wait to read the sequel :)
| Davos Seaworth chapter 25 . 8/10/2014
Mother of God, what you've written in these last ten chapters is fantastic.
The overwhelming dread of the Capitol's fist hanging over Elethea and Finnick, Hyperion's carnal brutality, Elethea's descent into a broken woman, it's all done on a purely amazing level. It's gut punch after gut punch, each hitting stronger than the last. There's so much feeling written here, and I can tell with each line that you've poured a ton into this.
Little things really make this story shine. Small blurbs, such as Elethea's nagging feeling that her brother's death is her fault here in the last chapter really show off the depth of her emotional journey in a single sentence.
I've been reading slowly, but I blasted through this entire ending arc. It's just so well done. Can't wait to get on to the sequel; you've got me hooked. Amazing story!
| Davos Seaworth chapter 15 . 7/29/2014
Damn, you do a fantastic job of getting into characters' minds and motivations. Everyone from Gloss to Finnick to Elethea react so realistically, so human, that it's impossible not to empathize with some element of them - even if it is Gloss, with his short-term thinking and chilly veneer.
Finnick and Elethea's relationship is amazingly well-done. So many fic writers illustrate passionate loves that crop up out of nothing, but you've illustrated a bond that's arisen from horrible circumstances into two broken people who are evolving on a more emotional and intimate level. It's a great read, and it makes their connection all the more powerful. Just great stuff!
I'm reading way too slowly here, but I can't wait to see where you're going with this. It's tough to read what Elethea's going through - and how Finnick sees it through his already jaded mind - but it's so expertly painted that it's one of the best stories I've read on this site. You nail every emotion, from the soft and warm ones to the bitter ones made of ice, to a perfect T. Superb work!
| Davos Seaworth chapter 10 . 7/15/2014
I've only just got around to reading this now, and wow - through 10 chapters, this is absolutely fantastic. You have nailed Elethea's character down to a tee, and contrasting her with Finnick has paid off really well in creating their dynamic. It's great to see each of them have their vulnerabilities in ways that make them human.
It was a quick Games, but I certainly get that the story's more about the characters than the event itself - something that looks to be a bit of a breath of fresh air. Can't wait to keep reading this and see where it goes - just a superb story!

'But he supposed Mags had had to deal with him, so he could deal with Elethea.' That sentence is in third person. The rest of that section is Finnick's POV in third person. Just saying :).

| kelsey731 chapter 20 . 12/6/2013
Leon :( I love that you added in his POV, it contributes a lot to seeing Elethea through another set of eyes. I have a terrible feeling that there's more pain in story for El...

I didn't know that.
But wasn't he also a maniacal car driver?
So it seems - Harris's film has a suicidally depressed Pollock getting pissed up and deliberately driving at speed to his doom. Wikipedia's entry says Pollock "died in a single-car crash in his Oldsmobile convertible while driving under the influence of alcohol. One of the passengers, Edith Metzger, was also killed in the accident". Wow. I didn't know police officers wrote Wikipedia entries.
Given that he was evidently a cyclist, there are some dark jokes that could be made about effective ways to commit suicide that would have involved less collateral damage... but perhaps not too explicitly.
