CBOH2 Stars Out Of 5Unsatisfied...DeeplyJune 8, 2015CBOHQuality: 1Value: 2Meets Expectations: 1This review was written for ESV MacArthur Study Bible, Premium Calfskin Leather, Black.***Let me start by saying this is NOT a review of the notes from Pastor MacArthur NOR the ESV as a translation. I found the notes to be perfectly fine and I am a big fan of the ESV. This review is based purely on the quality of the Bible itself. Also note, I did not receive this Bible from CBD. I ordered it directly from Grace To You, which is Pastor MacArthur's church. This is not a review of them either.***
I think all who are reading this can agree on one thing: If you order a premium Bible, you expect to get a premium Bible. You've spent upwards of $100 most likely, depending on the choice of leather, and you want your money to be worth it. Unfortunately, that is not the case with this particular Bible.
Upon arrival, I honestly did not notice any flaws. After a few days of use, I began to see things. I'll start with the positives though.
The calf skin is supple and almost buttery soft. I cannot imagine what it would be like after having a good breaking in. The Smyth Sewn binding is superb and as I said I love the ESV as a translation. The notes, I found to be good, but I suppose that depends upon your view of Pastor MacArthur. Additionally, Crossway has an excellent lifetime guarantee that comes with their premium level Bibles (more on that later).
While the calfskin leather is very, very nice after a few days of normal, on a desk usage, I discovered that the outside of the front cover was separating from the inside of the front cover. In other words, the seam that runs along the cover holding the leather to the liner was separating. I'm not a book binder, but I know that this is not sewn and appeared to me to only be glued down. I find this completely unacceptable for the price that I paid for this Bible. A calfskin cover, properly bound and cared for, should last a lifetime. I shouldn't have to worry about the cover separating after 3 days of normal use.
The next major issue, the gutter. This particular Bible has a crinkled gutter like nobody's business. Running your finger up and down sounds like crumpling a wad of paper in your hand. It also made page turning a bit of an unenjoyable experience as the noise would happen then too. I know it may seem shallow of me, but again, if I pay for premium quality, I want premium quality and gutter noise is not indicative of a proper binding process. Either it was bound to tightly or it was bound in cross ways or something. I just know that in my Schuyler ESV Quentel, the gutter is smooth as silk no matter where you open the Bible to.
Finally, the paper. This is some thin, thin paper. I don't expect no ghosting at all, in fact because I am in my early 30's, I can even stand a pretty heavy amount of ghosting in the right light and still have no issues. To read this Bible, I had to move a tall desk lamp right next to my reading area and aim the light at the Bible to see it properly. The ghosting cast to heavy of a shadow for me to see it clearly. Now, in fairness, I will say that everyone's eyes are different and this may not be an issue at all for some people. For me, it was. Again, this is another one of those categories where I feel like the cost is not equivalent with the quality.
The Super Positive:
As stated above, Crossway offers a lifetime guarantee on their Bible for any defect or issue. After contacting them on the phone and explaining my issues, they are sending me a FedEx label to return my Bible to them. When they receive it, they will be sending me (free of charge: rush status) a brand new calfskin ESV Study Bible (I didn;t want to take the chance with another MacArthur, in case that was a bad batch). All I'm required to do is pay the difference in cost between the two, which is minimal. The whole call took about five minutes and the person I spoke to was not only helpful but apologetic as well. Excellent customer service.
Personally, I would not order this Bible. With that being said, it is entirely possible that this was simply a bad batch and I happened to get one. There are clearly a number of positive reviews on here that say this Bible is wonderful. CBD has great customer service as well so if you do order it and run into the same issues I had, you'll have no problem returning it. If you do order one, check the issues I've mentioned as soon as you get it to make sure yours is on the up and up.

KMom5 Stars Out Of 5ESV MacArthur Study Bible, TruTone, Natural Brown, Woodcut DesignMarch 13, 2015KMomQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for ESV MacArthur Study Bible, TruTone, Natural Brown, Woodcut Design.This is a beautiful Bible inside as well as outside. It is hard to personalize because of the cover, but can be done by a smaller store that does the imprinting by hand.
The Bible is perfect for study, Dr. MacArthur's commentary is full and complete, and the Bible offers extra sections, such as special readings for Lent, etc. I am sorry that it doesn't have red-letters for Jesus' words. That is why I bought the ESV classic thinline to go with it. I do love this Bible.

Washington — The rights and dignity of all people, regardless of their sexual orientation or sexual identity, must be protected, says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Clinton has made gay rights a focus of the State Department's human rights agenda. "Gay rights are human rights, and human rights are gay rights," she said June 27 at the State Department. She stressed that U.S. diplomats and development experts around the world are working with regional international institutions "to strengthen a shared consensus about how governments should treat their citizens."
Clinton cited recent advances in respecting the rights of lesbians, gay, bisexual and transgender people. June is recognized in the United States as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month, or LGBT Pride Month.
In 2010, Slovakia's first gay pride month ended in violence, she said. So before the 2011 parade, U.S. Embassy staff brought together 19 top diplomats to Slovakia from other countries to sign a statement in support of the march. "We, as members of the international community, stand both literally and figuratively with parade participants as they peacefully assemble to stand up for their human rights," the statement reads. "Everyone, including LGBT people, should be free to enjoy the rights and freedoms laid out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights." U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia Theodore Sedgwick and Bratislava Mayor Milan Ftáčnik led the 2011 parade.
"This is people-to-people diplomacy at its best," Clinton said.
In March, President Obama and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff announced their shared support for the creation of a post within the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to promote LGBT rights.
And in June, the U.N. Human Rights Council passed its first resolution rejecting violence and the criminalization of people based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. The resolution was introduced by South Africa. "It was a huge step forward in our work to refute the hateful suggestion that LGBT people are somehow exempt from human rights protections," Clinton said. She added that Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson consistently raises the issue of gay rights with his African counterparts.
Clinton said that in Honduras, anti-gay violence increased significantly in 2009 and 2010. More than 30 gay people were murdered and investigations into those murders were making no progress. After U.S. diplomats engaged Honduran officials regarding protection of human rights, the Honduran government announced that it was creating a task force that would investigate hate crimes.
She noted that more work is needed to ensure that the rights of LGBT people are recognized. "LGBT people in many places continue to endure threats, harassment and violence," she said. "They continue to flee their homes and nations and seek asylum because they are persecuted for being who they are. They continue to be targeted for trying to build public support for pride activities such as parades."
The rights of LGBT people are "one of the most urgent and important human rights struggles of all times," Clinton said.

Most of the class summaries you find around the web are ... dated. They were written many patches ago. Since then, classes have changed radically. Even without the obvious example of the shaman's once being able to tank, a lot of how the classes feel when you play them is radically different from when the game started. Consider this a refresher.
If you're truly new to WoW, there are a few terms you should understand in this guide. There are three generally accepted roles when you group up to do dungeons and raids. Tanks are the big, tough guys who keep the enemy focused on themselves, because a tank is capable of taking the damage. Healers repair the damage taken by tanks and the rest of the party. DPS stands for damage per second, and it's become shorthand for all the folks who lay the smack down on the enemy. While all characters can do damage, DPSers can do multiplicatively more damage than anyone else.
Crowd control allows you to briefly keep an enemy from fighting you. For example, Polymorph turns an enemy into a sheep. Enemies can't hurt anyone if they're sheep, right?
Death knight
Role Damage and tank
Crowd control No "pure" crowd control options, but a lot of snares and slows and such
Death knights were introduced well after the release of WoW. They use runes to empower their long list of damaging abilities. Death knights are one of the most powerful and effective damage and tanking classes in the game, mostly because they don't have obvious class flaws. Death knights are competent against ranged and melee characters alike. Their signature Death Grip ability even allows them to force an enemy to fight on the death knight's terms. In order to play a death knight, however, you must already have another character to level 55.
Role Damage, heal, tank
Crowd control Only against certain types of enemies, plus a Root
Druids are the most versatile class in the game. They can be tanks and healers, but they can also do damage from either close up or a distance. This makes druids an excellent option for someone who wants to fit into any group. However, since druids do have so much going on, they can be difficult to truly master. Druids have a smattering of buffs, debuffs, and crowd control, as well, which means they generally help out any group they're in.
Role Damage
Crowd control Selective traps, sundry "sleeping" shots
Hunters stand back and shoot their enemies with bows and guns. The hunter class was once considered the easiest class to play, but that has significantly changed in the last two expansions. Hunters have a huge array of tools for any group to use. What makes hunters special is that they get a constant companion pet, which they choose by going out into the wild and taming. Each different type of pet has different abilities of its own, making hunters a surprisingly deep class to play.
Role Damage
Crowd control Masters of crowd control, including Polymorphs, roots, snares, slows, and silences
The mage class is the traditional "wizard" class of WoW. They do damage at a distance by hurling fire, ice, and raw arcane energy. The mage class has many, many options for controlling enemies, including turning them into animals, trapping them in place, and slowing their movement. Mages use mana to fuel their attacks. Being a mage is a great option for new and old characters, since a mage tends to focus on a single thing and does that single thing very well: blowing up the bad guys.
Role Damage, heal, tank
Crowd control Only in one talent spec
Paladins are one of two classes capable of doing all three key dungeon roles. Unlike druids, however, paladins can only perform the "melee DPS" role. Paladins use mana to fuel their abilities and occasionally make use of Holy Power to use special powers. The high survivability of paladins make them a great class for soloing and for PvP. As such, though, you're likely to find many, many other paladins in dungeon groups, which makes it a little slower to get gear (because you have to share.)
Role Damage, heal
Crowd Control Limited options
Priests are the archetypical healer class. They summon the power of the Light and Shadow to smite their enemies and grant solace to their allies. Even in their damage-dealing configuration, priests do a lot of healing to their allies. Priests are almost always a welcome class in any guild and desperately sought after all over Azeroth.
Role Damage
Crowd control Sap
Rogues are the sneaky assassins and dashing swashbucklers. They use a sort of low-grade mysticism to stealth around and stab their enemies in the back. The rogue class is a pretty capable class for solo play, and rogues do a very high amount of damage. As with paladins, though, you tend to see many, many rogues around, which can make competing to get in groups kind of tough.
Role Damage, heal
Crowd control Turns enemies into frogs, can affect Elementals
The shaman class is a bit of a unique snowflake. They can do damage at a distance or in melee range, depending on their spec. What makes shaman special is their totems. They drop little totems on the ground that create buffs, heals, and other effects on behalf of the shaman. Managing totems isn't very difficult, but relying on them can feel like a drawback if you need to move around.
Role Damage
Crowd control Fears and pet-based
Warlocks sit at the distance and use unholy shadow and fire to blow up the bad guys. They work with a series of demonic pets to accomplish their task, although only one pet can usually be active at once. Warlocks are a strong damage class, but their button rotations and wide array of powers mean they aren't well-suited to brand new players. Once mastered, however, warlocks are known for their dominance of PvP and ability to put out compelling damage.
Roles: Damage, tank
Crowd control None
Warriors are the traditional "rawr, I hit the bad guy with weapons" class. They're based on a rage mechanic that doesn't really have an equivalent anywhere in traditional fantasy games; essentially, the more they deal or take damage, the more rage they get. They use this rage to fuel their attacks. For this reason, warriors can frequently feel "gimped" if they're not getting enough rage. Warriors have a reliable interrupt, like all melee, but lack any kind of crowd control. Warriors are a straightforward class that relies on mastery of their rotation to get the most effect.

Boy Scout Ben Bartenstein stands next to his Eagle Scout project, a WWII Veterans Memorial sign in Oostburg.
- Filed Under
Ben Bartenstein, 18, of Boy Scout Troop 843 in Oostburg, received his Eagle Scout award during a Court of Honor on Dec. 29, 2012, at the Oostburg High School auditorium.
Bartenstein has been involved in Scouting for the past 12 years and served in a number of leadership roles along the way, including assistant patrol leader, patrol leader, den chief, and assistant junior scoutmaster. He is also a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow.
For his Eagle project, Ben led a group of 40 volunteers in building a WWII Veterans Memorial sign in Oostburg honoring 204 veterans from the Oostburg and Gibbsville areas. The project entailed 325.5 hours of work in research, planning, construction, and landscaping and was conducted in collaboration with Hartmann/Lammers American Legion Post 286. Several local businesses generously donated time and materials to the project.
Bartenstein is currently a freshman at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., pursuing coursework in political science, international studies and journalism. He is the son of Tom and Sue Bartenstein, of Hingham.

You Pitti things— Florence
Pitti Uomo biannual menswear show is seen as a crystal ball for the fashion industry. Monocle visits to test the mood.
"Can't Stop Fashion" proclaimed a lurid orange and white sign at the entrance to Florence's ancient Fortezza da Basso in January this year, as the biannual Pitti Uomo menswear show kicked off. The message to the crowds streaming through the fortress's gates was clear: two fashion-fingers up to Italy's economic crisis.
Coming together for the 81st edition of Pitti Uomo, this eclectic mix of buyers, fashion editors and designers were in Florence to take the mood of the international menswear industry and look ahead to autumn/winter 2012. Rarely in…

give me ur opinion on who u think makes the best downhill and freeride bikes without the cost of the companys bikes
give me ur opinion on who u think makes the best downhill and freeride bikes without the cost of the companys bikes
Depends on the bike but my personal favorites are Specialized's Demo 9 or Kona Stinky Deluxe for Freeride or Kona's Stab Deluxe or Giant Glory for Downhill.
Of course, I'm forgetting a lot of bikes, those were the first that popped in my head.
Specialized Rockhopper Comp Disc 2006 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...speccy1280.jpg
wat happened to the frame and wat kind of is it. i own a 2006 kona stinky and a 2006 specialized demo 8
A lot of the smaller name brands make some awesome bikes. Intense, Orange, Yeti, Turner, and so on.
Hmmmmmmmm nice thread...... there is no better comapny than anyone else for DH and freeride..... Imean we all know that the Santa Cruz V10 is a way better bike than the Yeti 303 which is a way better bike than the Orange 224 and Kone Stab Supreme All the manufacturers top line bikes are so on par with each other none could be said to be better than the others.

Name: Lee S. Cotter
Political party: Republican
Age: 54
Education: Masters in Business Administration, University of Arizona. BS Civil Engineering, New Mexico State University. Las Cruces High School.
Immediate family: Parents Donald and Frances Cotter, 1 brother, 1 sister.
Past political or public service positions: Rio Grande Natural Gas Assoc. Board of Directors
Why are you the most qualified candidate for this position: After working for the N.M. Senate as an analyst reading the law, I have seen first-hand the wrong direction our government is taking on jobs, regulation and education. My education, work in large companies and starting a small business make me uniquely the best candidate for the N.M. Senate. Our government needs to create laws with a wiser design that encourages our citizens to succeed and prosper.
Top three priorities if elected: 1. Voter ID is my first goal to guarantee honest voting while also creating an alternative free ID system to assure every citizen has access to vote. 2. Driver license issuance to citizens to prevent organized criminals from injuring our residents. 3. Repeal cumbersome and onerous rules, so our citizens can reach their dreams without government abuse or intervention.

This place looks wonderful! Can't wait to visit and stay with y'all!
We have stayed here for the past 4 yrs & have never had any issues. The staff is always so professional & helpful. The breakfast is always wonderful & we always enjoy the hot tub both inside & out depending on the weather. We are actually going to be staying there this weekend & we can't wait. We even have our friends staying there now when they visit Pigeon Forge.

The Democratic most often strikes me as thinking their way to a solution, so if they've missed on some prediction, at least you can see why -- some of the time, anyway.
Unless some heat is put on Congress it will be only a matter of time before the Democrats sign on since most of them support H-1B and L-1.

In working with many smart business people and analysts in the past few months, I came to appreciate the ease of accessing web analytics.
Who knew that math and data would become a main revenue driving force for businesses big and small?
Every business is fast becoming a data-generating machine.
From upstream to downstream, data rewards us with insights that can enable us to make profitable decisions via control experiments to advance our business models.
And yet, this is just the beginning as the number of people connected to the web continues to grow, so too does the vast amount of information about those individuals.
According to McKinsey Global Institute, "collecting, storing, and mining big data for insights can create significant value for the world economy, enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of companies and the public sector and creating a substantial economic surplus for consumers."
Collect and Analyzing Data for ROI
We can't mine data we don't have, so now is the time to focus on data gathering.
Simply put, data will produce new value for businesses whether it's setting up web analytics, collecting email addresses or compiling transaction data, the ability to turn data into actionable insights equals the ability to make money on the social web.
In addition data is the foundation for business return on investment (ROI) that enables predictive analysis to explore highly targeted and optimized marketing campaigns.
ROI-centric businesses focus on maximizing the lifetime value of a customer, which in many cases refers to customer retention and the cost of sale.

That means leveraging weighted algorithms and attribution models to target and re-target the "next-best" opportunity.
The key is to put data in context and "translate" them into meaningful key performance indicators (KPIs).
For example, a controversial topic that I often come across is the concept of social media ROI.
In reality social media analytics and engagement data do not have a clear cause-and-effect ROI so analyst Jeremiah Owyang of Altimeter Group developed a simple formula to look at social media ROI.
Focusing on business goals he recommended companies to develop a standardized way to measure first based on business goals, a fundamental starting point to put ROI in context.
The Increasingly Social Search: Social Media Data
Although search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo have provided tremendous insights into customer behavior, the rise of actionable social media data is adding fuel to the explosive growth of digital information.
Now that Search engines are integrating social signals into their algorithms, social is going to play an important role to increase efficiency in targeting.
Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter can help generate even more granular, multifaceted customer segmentation from profiles, posts, click histories, and usage logs by identifying influencers and leaders within social groups, as well as their followers and outliers.
Not only can Social media distribute marketing messages out faster, they allow companies to gain deeper insight into customer behavior in much more detailed than it has ever been.
In addition, social media enters into early majority phase of adoption according to a recent survey by Regus, more firms are using social media to engage with existing customers than a year ago, with the following highlights:
- 50% of businesses in the U.S. use websites such as Twitter to engage, connect with and inform existing customers
- In the U.S., 55% of firms encourage their employees to join social networks such as Linkedin and Xing
- 38% of U.S. companies dedicate up to 20 percent of their marketing budget to business social networking activity
- Globally, the survey reported a seven percent increase in the proportion of businesses successfully recruiting new customers through social networks such as Facebook
Geolocation: Adding Space and Time to Data
Local data is one of the most valuable forms of data because it can put local business in touch with potential customers while they're in the vicinity of the business.
Do you wonder why all of a sudden people are "checking in" on Foursquare, Yelp, Facebook and Twitter?
According to IBM Engineer Jeff Jonas, "With roughly 600 billion data transactions from cellular phones on a daily basis, adding space and time to traditional data objects can help predict where someone will be on a given day and time with up to 87 percent accuracy, for example. Adding space-time works because, oddly enough, of physics."
The Take Away
The bottom line is that it's about giving youself the highest chance of marketing success by understanding which customers are better fit for your business model.
Although it is important that you collect the right data (context counts!), but more importantly it is about finding actionable insights beyond trends and patterns that reveal profitable opportunities.
The only question that remains for you is this – what data are you collecting, why, and how does that fit into the big picture?
I recently gave an interview to Adobe's CMO.com about this topic.

I love this mascara, my only complaint is that it's always either too wet or too dry, only is perfect for about a week! But I can still work around it because the volume and BAM it gives my lashes

I had sworn off all non drugstore mascaras because it's the one item I have to replace religiously every 2.5 months or I start to notice a significant decline in performance. But I received this as a gift with purchase so I used it. And to my surprise I loved it. And now 4 months later I am still using it as it has remained fresh. The brush is on the thick side but is very easy to use. It makes my lashes look heavy and thick. It also gives the impression that I tightlined because I can get on very close to the base of my lashes. When the mascara dies get in my eyes my eyes turn red bit I have very sensitive eyes so this may not be a problen for everyone.

This mascara smudged under my eyes like crazy and it wasn't even hot out today. I looked horrible. First and last time I use this.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Definetely not worth the money. It is okay, does not clumb the lashes, but nothing more - it doesn't give much volume or lenght. In compare, the Max Factor Masterpiece mascara is way way better than it.
Well, if someone gives it to you as a present - great! But to buy it yourself - don't bother. :)

I got this mascara as a Christmas present from my grandmother. I would never buy such expensive mascara on my own--I've always made do with cheapo drugstore makeup and Avon, and have managed quite nicely by doing so. However, I can and will make an exception for this amaaaaaazzzzing product. This is hands down the best mascara I have ever owned. I absolutely adore it.
It does just about everything for my less than impressive lashes, even without curling them before application. The product goes on very nicely without any clumping, and it doesn't take many strokes at all to get full, dark, long, beautiful lashes.
This mascara is very versatile. I've used it for several different types of looks, and it works wonderfully for each. The mascara is subtle enough to be worn with everyday/natural makeup, but can easily work for more dramatic, nighttime looks by adding a few more coats.
The only real con for me is its lasting power. While it does stay on for a decent amount of time (almost an entire school day) it doesn't last me very long into my afternoon work shift. It starts to flake if I get a bit sweaty, and it does leave little run marks. However, it lasts much longer/better than a lot of other mascaras that I've tried.
Don't let the price turn you away. This is a great mascara, and imo, it's worth every penny.
Pros: Doesn't clump, lengthens, lifts, adds a lot of fullness, versatile
Cons: Price, doesn't last all day (for me)
Would buy again: Yes. Absolutely.

Skin: Normal, Medium, Not Sure

All the women in my family use Clinique mascara and love it. Personally I think it is worth the price. I use all sorts of different mascaras and this one is not the best. I find it to clump on my lashes unlike other reviews. The color is nice. I would recommend it because it does stay on. If your looking for a long lasting mascara get this product.
Age: 18 & Under

Love this mascara! Doesn't clump and lengthens out lashes to the max!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Normal, Tan, Warm
Hair: Black, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Brown
OMG!!!!! I love this mascara. I am 35 years old and have tried many other mascaras and always come back to this. It is pricey but it works so well. I am Native American and I do have pretty lengthy lashes already but they aren't thick and three coats of this and I look like I am wearing false lashes. Everyone always comments on my lashes and asks me what I use
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Tan, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I have: Dark, long (ish) lashes that are naturally b curled and fairly thick
I want: volume, BLACK color, more length and definition
Clinique high impact is a very wet formula, this is good because it comes off really easily and I can style my lashes for awhile without getting clumps or too messy. However the brush is rather small, so to get the look I want I have to do coat after coat, this takes way too long.
If you want a natural look, this is a totally adequate product, for drama or a bolder statement (high impact if you will), this probably isn't it unless you have tiny, light and short lashes.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Blue
This is one of my favourite mascaras because it does not irritate my eyes, coats all the lashes and it is so easy to remove - with just warm water.

Chloë Grace Moretz's Latest Film Is Another Sobfest For Summer 2014
Chloë Grace Moretz plays Mia, a teenage cellist who falls in love with her town's resident rocker, Adam, before falling into a coma. (Don't worry: The trailer lays this all out with a swelling soundtrack to really make the presence of that lump in your throat known.) The car crash that caused Mia's coma has left her an orphan. But, the real meat of the story comes when she begins to have an out-of-body experience, going through various memories, contemplating whether or not she will allow herself to live or die. And here we thought the biggest questions a 17-year-old normally faces was about prom and figuring out who they kind of are.
The If I Stay trailer is below. While you're at it, why not rewatch this season's other tearjerker of a trailer for The Fault In Our Stars (sadness does love itself some company)? Wide-eye ambitions, youthful romance, and some sort of catastrophe; that is what YA successes are made of. Get the tissues ready, folks. Summer 2014 has now officially been dubbed the season of blockbuster sobfests.

All DFD1s can count to 45MHz. Difference is in range of offset that can be added or subtracted.
details below.
DFD1A can make a nice, accurate, inexpensive
bench-top frequency counter for HF up to 50MHz.
A paypal account is NOT required
A miniature digital frequency counter designed to display the frequency of operation of HF, VHF, UHF and SHF superhetrodyne (with an adjustable IF offset) and direct conversion (without offset) receivers and transmitters. Also can be used as a bench top frequency counter or built into other test equipment. Usable to 32 MHz. (8GHz with an external prescaler)
The unit uses a PIC16C71 microcontroller which has a built in A/D converter.
A/D converters are connected to 15 turn trimpots. These trimpots are used to input a frequency offset, usually equal to the IF frequency of the receiver or transmitter.
All DFD1s can count to 45MHz.
See details for the various custom units for the radio manufacturers listed above.
· The unit then measures the Local Oscillator frequency and adds or subtracts the IF frequency offset. The result is a display of the actual receive or transmit frequency.
PRESCALE mode (DFD1 only): the third trim-pot inputs a number from 1-8 which is multiplied times the computed RF frequency to counter the effect of an external prescale divider. (IF and RF resolution is degraded by the value of the external divider N. IF resolution=N*1000 Hz, RF resolution = N*10 Hz.
MODE is an additional A/D input programmed by and external resistor (or switched resistors) to display an operating mode . The modes that can be displayed are AM, FM, CW, USB, LSB, FSK, FAX or 'blank'.
The unit has two discrete inputs (open circuit or ground) from which the user can change it's function.
· ADD/SUBTRACT causes the unit to add or subtract the offset from the measured frequency. This input can be remoted from the bandswitch of band-imaging receivers/transmitters to provide correct frequency display in both bands.
· Display RESOLUTION 10Hz jumper off, 100Hz jumper on.
(This unit will not work with swept frequency applications such as spectrum analyzers as it does not average)
Several circuits have appeared in the amateur and professional literature regarding adding prescalers to increase the range of frequency counters. Any of these circuits will work with DFD when used in the PRESCALE mode. The input sensitivity is sufficient to interface directly with ECL prescalers such as the Motorola MC120XX series.
The display is a 16 character LCD. A typical display is "14.22512 MHz USB" .
The correct RF frequency is displayed regardless of the relationship between LO, IF and RF frequencies. The RF can be above or below the IF frequency and the LO can be above or below the RF frequency.
The unit is 3.2" wide x 1.4" high x 1.25" thick open frame construction, intended to be built into something else or put in a small cabinet. Power requirements are 8 to 18 volts, 20ma. (Works great on a 9 volt battery)
Check out the APPLICATION NOTES page.
How to Order
By Phone with Visa/MasterCard
By FAX with Visa/MasterCard
By Mail Almost All Digital Electronics, 1412 Elm St. S.E., Auburn, WA 98092
Digital Frequency Display kits are also available from:
Yellow LED Backlit Display module now available.
This module is the same size as the non-backlit module and replaces it directly. You will have to supply a dropping resistor to set the current from your primary power source. The forward voltage drop of the LEDs is 4V and the maximum current is 200ma. The unit lites up pretty good with 30ma. At this setting it can be powered continuously from the on-board 5V regulator through a 33ohm 1/4 watt resistor. From 12V you need an 80ohm/2W resistor for 100ma, or a 160ohm/1W resistor for 50ma.
For LED backlit
module instead of regular module add $7.50
AADE has an unconditional money bank guarantee even on kits (unless destroyed during assembly).

Dell charging $50 for Vista-to-XP downgrade
updated 02:25 pm EDT, Wed June 18, 2008
Dell XP Downgrade
Dell is charging some customers as much as $50 to switch from Windows Vista to XP on their systems, according to the company. Buyers picking a system from the company's Vostro business line can choose to install XP Professional instead of Vista Business but must pay an additional $50 beyond the price it takes to upgrade to Vista Business itself. Users face a reduced fee for the downgrade if moving from Vista Ultimate but still pay more than for the upgrade to a higher Vista edition than what comes preloaded on the system.
The PC maker notably doesn't charge for the downgrade for higher-end computers, including Latitude portables and Optiplex workstations. It also allows buyers to keep the existing copy of Vista but requires that the newer operating system be purchased alongside the downgrade. A handful of Dell's XPS gaming systems, including the XPS 630/720 H2C towers and the M1730 desktop replacement notebook, also have the downgrade option for an extra fee.
Dell's move raises questions about the costs of licensing for Windows XP. The company is shutting down most regular XP sales after today to ensure that it has shipped all of its XP-only systems by Microsoft's June 30th cut-off date for the software, but until now has not publicly revealed what if any premium it would charge to continue using the 2001-era operating system; common observations had suggested Dell would charge a relatively minimal fee preserving the old OS.
The Texas-based system builder is believed to have complicated Microsoft's attempts to move the PC industry more quickly to Vista. Dell was one of the first companies to restore an XP option for its systems in April of last year amid a backlash by businesses as well as home users, both of whom resisted the OS after claims of sluggish performance on some configurations as well as peripheral driver problems created both by Microsoft and by third-party hardware. Workplaces have also raised concerns over compatibility with some of their necessary programs.
Company representatives have said that the downgrade option will exist until the start of 2009, when Microsoft pulls system reseller rights to continue offering XP for downgrades and will limit the OS to very low-cost, low-performance systems such as ASUS' Eee PC. [via Computerworld]

ok so i have had medieval 2 and all the other total war games except napoleon, and the first two games running through steam for around 2 years now and have never had a problem till recently. about a month and a half ago i started downloading another game through steam when i was bored and decided to continue my sicilian campaign in medieval 2. steam then proceded to tell me that they were changing the format of the game(or something along those lines) and it needed to do an update. i didnt feel like that so i pressed cancel and switched to offline mode to play it but it said it was now uninstalled i was pretty bummed about this but i was low on the gigs left my internet for the month so i passed it off and just played rome total war offline instead(because i didnt want the same thing to happen to rome).
Now here is when the headache started. I had a craving for some medieval action today so i bought kingdoms expansion and installed medieval 2 again(turns out it just found all the existing data and didnt download anything). At first it all runs smoothly but then i start getting problems with the launcher not connecting to the internet and it crashed the game and when i went to start it up again it said the game was already running so i looked online and ended the medieval launcher proccess with task manager and that never properly quits when i run steam online now so i have to end the process every single time i play. Then when i go offline everything works fine untill i press play in the launcher, then it just goes to the offline steam store(blank page saying steam is offline) and doesnt even start the game.
Sometimes i get another launcher opening up when i press play on the first one and this can even happen a second time.
i also have 'modded' the game i spose in the fact that i have made the unlockable faction playable from startup and changed the time setting thing in the desc_strat file from 2.00 to 1.00, if that makes a difference.
i have verified the cache for medieval 2 twice and that didnt change anything so i changed back the desc_strat file back to my previous setting above. i tried skipping the launcher and starting the game straight through the medieval2.exe but that didnt help either so i renamed the medieval2.exe file to Launcher.exe but that still didnt help.
has steam stuffed my game and how do i fix it? do i need to verify that i bought it legitimately so i can play offline or something? Any help would be much appreciated.
ps thx for reading all this for anyone that made it through haha.

We are proud of the nucleus colonies we offer and want to share why we think there are none better:
Estimated Delivery. Our bees get a head start in southern Georgia to build for the earliest delivery in North Carolina. Don't be fooled by optimistic claims - bee season is determined by weather conditions when queens are mated. If shipped before drones are plentiful, queens will be poorly mated - resulting in spotty brood, drone layers, or premature supercedure.( Did you know drones must be two weeks old before their sperm is viable?) Our bees will be available as early as conditions allow, and our conditions are as early as any in the continental U.S. Claims of March deliveries - while not impossible - likely will be followed by explanations the original date was moved back. We think a reasonable estimate in an average year is about the middle of April.
Quality Inspection.Things can happen when bees are moved. Prior to your pick-up every one of our nucs are inspected to confirm a live queen. If we don't find her, we place a piece of tape on that colony and look again later - until she is found. We also confirm the presence of eggs, which indicate that queen has laid them. We look for queen cells - which beginners often don't know how to handle. Started as a result of crowding (it's good to get a lot of bees:) we remove QCs in case there is a delay in getting the bees into roomier accomodations.
If your new colony swarms and you're not there, half go to your neighborhood and half are what you have left.
Plentiful Brood. There's no such thing as a 'standard five frame nuc', and what you get from different providers can be like night and day.
Most who want to stay in business pack a lot of bees into their boxes - but more important is having brood of all ages that will continue to hatch as the queen lays more eggs. This allows for continual build-up without a dip two weeks after you hive the colony. Over the past five years our nucs have contained at least three frames of brood - and many have four. We favor a stronger colony, whereas some will give you capped honey or empty comb. We feel April conditions should be good enough for the bees to fend for themselves. If inclement weather prevents foraging , some feeding is recommended.
Clean Comb. We don't guarantee new wax or every frame to be 'straight as an arrow' - but we do know none are older than four years and that the wax has never been exposed to hard chemical treatments. One provider on the Internet brags that his nucs are pre-treated with miticides and medications so the buyer has 'nothing to worry about'! - ours are exactly the opposite. We think contaminated wax is bad for bees and have gone to great lengths to find comb which isn't. The only mite treatments our combs have seen are thymol or organic acids.
Reusable Langstroth Deep Nuc Box. These are no deposit/ no return. We think they are easily a $15 bargain. They're sturdier than cardboard and hold up to the weather without painting - in fact we've been using these for years without any appreciable deterioration. If you paint them they should last even longer. You can set them up as 'bait hives' or use them for making splits, over-wintered nucs or catching swarms.
One Trip Pick-Up. Our nucs are screened the morning of pick-up - meaning there are no multiple trips to drop off equipment and come back for the bees. You pick the bees up and transfer them straight to your beeyard. The box is yours to keep.
No Frame Exchange. This is getting to be the norm but it bears repeating. In some cases you are required to provide the seller with five new frames of foundation. Ours come with fully drawn comb and it's included in the sale price.
Queen Stock. In western North Carolina spring is the best time of year. At least 65% of the resources available to bees bloom between the first of March and the second week of June - so the earlier a colony can start building up the better chance of success. You will find producer claims of Queens being 'Italian' 'Carniolan' 'Caucasian' and other. In point of fact our bee genetics have become mongrolized to the extent that the historical record of assumed behaviors can no longer be applied. A yellow bee has just as much chance to have 'Carniolan' heritage as 'Italian'. Behavior is determined by the particular traits inherited from the Queen's mother and the drones she mates with.
Our Queens are from cells produced by professional breeders, hatched and open-mated in southern Georgia. The prevailing drone source in the area is from our hives - which spend about nine months a year in the mountains of NC and northerm GA. Our nucs will consist of all yellow, all gray, all dark or some combination of the three. Queens vary from very dark to almost Corduvan in color. What you get will depend on the box you take home - but the temperament has more to do with the individual Queen than her color.
If you desire particular traits in your stock, you should consider carefully re-queening from a trustworthy source. Many advertised 'in-line' stock are not what they say, so be careful in ordering. We understand that CA breeders offering 'Russian' 'New World Carniolan' and 'Minnesota Hygeinic' have mating yards within two miles of each other! Only when beekeepers educate themselves about the selection of their Queens can we expect to make progress in improving our stock.

WikiLeaks: Apple slow to fight Chinese counterfeits
updated 03:00 am EDT, Tue August 30, 2011
Authorities reluctant to cooperate
Apple's attempt to curb the sale of counterfeit electronics and even imitation Apple Stores has met with limited success so far, despite being modelled on a successful similar program to curb illicit pharmaceuticals, according to new reports published by WikiLeaks and reported by CNN. The iPad maker was slow to recognize the extent of the problem, and has run into difficulty with local Chinese authorities, who must often balance other factors against Apple's own interests.
Once Apple began in earnest to tackle the issue, they largely recruited a team from drug manufacturer Pfizer who had done similar work in cracking down on counterfeit Viagra production in Asia. Three years later, however, a director of the Apple global security team is quoted as saying he was "afraid" of the volume of imitation Apple products on the market in China, and about how well Apple's lawyers have dealt with authorities there.
Reports of whole imitation Apple Stores outside of the large cities where Apple has actual stores made news headlines last month, but in fact authorities only close a handful of the "fake Apple Stores" for not having secured business permits; the others have been allowed to stay open because authorities say they are selling authentic Apple products, albeit without permission. Other vendors and counterfeit manufacturing facilities have also been allowed to stay open, largely because they bring jobs and revenue to the areas where they are located.
The issue of counterfeiting is seen in China as part of the cost of doing business; workers at factories such as the Foxconn facilities smuggle parts and plans out for the counterfeiters to copy, which eventually results in either replica Apple products that are similar but more poorly-made than the originals, or "versions" of the iPad that still feature an Apple-like logo but are just different enough to be easily spotted as fakes, and usually sold for dramatically less than the real thing. This is part of the "price" U.S. companies pay in exchange for inexpensive labor and super-efficient manufacturing, locals say.
The company has had its victories as well, the cables reveal. Indian officials have uncovered shipments of parts moving from China through Hong Kong. Apple has made progress in closing some -- but not all -- of the online counterfeit sellers. But street sellers and other "offline" merchants have been difficult to pursue, in large part due to disinterest from authorities. The report includes stories Chinese officials declining to investigate a facility that was making imitation Apple laptops in March 2009, and another incident of authorities scrapping a raid on a Guangdong province mall because it would have driven off shoppers.
Guangdong has emerged in the reports as a center for counterfeiting activities, mostly due to the fact that Foxconn operates several factories in the province, along with the lack of authorized Apple dealers. Demand for Apple products -- particularly authentic ones -- is extremely high in China, with the four legitimate Apple Stores in the country -- three in Beijing and one in Shanghai -- said to be the top-grossing and most-trafficked stores in the world, according to Apple CEO Tim Cook.
One of the reasons the Pfizer-recruited team was less successful when working for Apple, the cables summarize, is that Chinese officials were willing to go after fake drug manufacturers as a public health issue, but are much more willing to let electronics and software slide by, as other companies -- notably Microsoft -- have already discovered. Apple's famed concern for the quality of the entire "Apple experience" is of much less importance to authorities, since there are no repercussions to the society as a whole if someone buys a shoddy, imitation iPod.

Church protests Cleveland council move that would make neighborhood historical
Protestors want to make history, not preserve it
CLEVELAND - Protesters on the steps of Cleveland City Hall, Tuesday, want to tear down a pair of century-old, Cleveland homes near Wade Park and Magnolia.
"These are historic homes," said Cleveland City Councilman Jeff Johnson. "One of them is done by the same architect that did City Hall. These homes are special."
Johnson wants to designate the neighborhood as one of Cleveland's Historic Districts. That would mean any alterations to any home in the area would need to be approved first by the City Landmark Commission, making demolition nearly impossible.
"The church owns those two homes. They bought them outright. It's fair and square theirs," said protester Ross Phar. "They have the right to modify them, tear them down or what ever they want to do with them."
Mt. Zion Congregational Church wants to demolish the homes and build a brand new, $1.6 million "Family Life Center".
"It's going to have job training," Phar said. "It's going to have feeding programs for the homeless. I mean, this is going to improve things and they're trying to stop it."
If the proposal passes and the Wade Park/Magnolia neighborhood becomes an historic district, the bill would effect the church and the nearly 250 other properties nearby.
"That is a rich part of our Cleveland history," Johnson said. "We can't just wipe them out."

In light of Apple's updates to the iMac line, MacMall is running a few specials on current and late model iMacs, both the 20- and 24-inch versions. MacMall is also bundling Parallels Desktop 3.0 with the purchase of any iMac, as well as a free Epson printer, and from $50 to $100 off the machine, after mail-in rebates. The online retailer is offering discounts on the newly released iMacs, from $1150 on the entry-model, to $2100 for the high-end 3.06GHz version - $50 to $100 off Apple's suggested retail price. The 24-inch iMac comes with a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB of memory, a 320GB hard drive, Superdrive and an ATI Radeon 2600 Pro. MacMall is selling the 24-inch iMac for $1500 after rebates and aforementioned specials.
Apple today posted the iMac ATI Radeon HD Graphics Firmware Update 1.0.1 for iMac owners with either the Radeon HD 2400 XT or HD 2600 Pro graphics cards. The update simply states that it addresses system stability issues in those systems, but does not mention whether any performance enhancing aspects are also included. Firmware updates require an uninterrupted patch process, so users are encouraged to follow the instructions included with the update.
Nokia's "Comes With Music" program, offering those who purchase Nokia phones nearly unlimited free access to a large music database, could cost the company more than it would make. The Register writes that Nokia would be responsible for footing the bill for downloads that exceed the estimated limit of 35 songs per user, charged wholesale per unit. The move reportedly pressured Ed Averdieck, former Managing Director of Nokia Music, to leave his position.
Apple today unveiled five classic television series on the iTunes store: 21 Jump Street, Hunter, The Greatest American Hero, Wiseguy, and Silk Stalkings. The release comes as Stephen J. Cannell Productions teams up with New Video to offer the content on iTunes, with The Commish and Renegade to show up in the following months. The classic series' are offered with the option of buying a Season Pass at a discount.
Everyone's time is valuable, but for people such as consultants or lawyers, who bill by the hour, time can literally be money. To insure that you track time accurately, you could carry a stopwatch and slavishly write down every time you start and stop working on a particular project. While this method may work, an easier solution is to let your Mac keep track of time and billing by using OfficeTime.
Late last week, Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer
Novelty TV maker HANNSpree announced the launch of its Starlight Blue 15-inch LCD TV on Monday. The TV's design theme is a night sky, with a sparkled blue surround that curves out to form points meant to mimic a crescent moon. The TV's stand is likewise uniquely styled, resembling a planet's orbiting rings. The display's resolution is rated at 1024x768 pixels, with a 500cd/m2 brightness and 500:1 contrast ratio. Video is clear up to 150 degrees off center in the horizontal plane and 135 degrees in the vertical.
The music site Project Playlist has been hit with a lawsuit filed by the record industry, Reuters reports. Some nine labels, including companies owned by Warner, EMI and Universal, have filed suit in the US District Court of Manhattan, accusing the site of numerous copyright infringements. The site lets users search for songs and create streaming playlists, in a much more targeted fashion than services such Pandora or Last.fm; the site does not, however, have a license for any of the content it offers, even though it makes money on advertising.
The 3.06GHz processor and fellow chips in Apple's new iMacs are part of a special run of Intel's existing technology rather than an early introduction of Centrino 2 technology, Intel has confirmed with Electronista. Although the processors match the same core clock rates and 1,066MHz system bus speeds as those for the upcoming platform, the processors are now known to be unlisted speed grades that include special support for the faster bus speeds (up from 800MHz).
Last week, supposed Macintosh clone manufacturer Psystar offered questionable video proof of its operations, but a new video confirms that the company indeed does have a shipping product. Gizmodo reader Patrick "Whiskeyfrown" sent in a one-take video showing a Psystar CPU connected to a monitor, mouse and keyboard, tracing the video cable from the back of the box to the panel. With a press of the power button, the CPU displays a very PC-like POST screen, followed by the familiar grey Apple on a white background.
The WiMAX Edition of Nokia's N810 Internet tablet may already have a price, an online listing suggests. Retailer Buy.com is selling the system for a price of $456, a reduction from a supposed list price of $479. Nokia has not formally announced the cost of the N810 WiMAX, and has in fact declined to assign a release date beyond a rough estimate of "summer." This is meant to coincide with the official launch of Sprint's Xohm WiMAX service.
Imagine has released a new video utility for Macs, ShotPut EXpress. The software is intended for use with Sony's EX SxS cards, which are tied to the XDCamHD EX format; after inserting an SxS card into a computer's ExpressCard slot, ShotPut automatically verifies and copies clips to as many as three different locations; alternately, users can choose to copy videos manually. In any case a logfile is produced, naming cards, file destinations and other relevant information.
Entry-level camera maker DXG today introduced one of the least-expensive HD-capable camcorders on the market. The DXG-569V is capable of recording a full-speed, 720p (1280x720) picture and uses a similar H.264 encoding technique, letting users edit videos directly in newer video editing tools or upload videos to YouTube without having to first change video formats. The camera primarily trims costs by dropping optical zoom in favor of a 2X digital zoom with LED flash for focus.
WiebeTech has announced a new hard drive adapter, the UltraDock. Intended mainly for professionals, the adapter lets users connect "bare" drives to a computer externally, in this case both 3.5-inch IDE/PATA drives and 2.5/3.5-inch SATA disks. Users can connect to a computer using eSATA, USB 2.0 or FireWire 400 ports, or one of two FireWire 800 connections.
Netgear has debuted a new series of small form-factor, 6-bay network attached storage (NAS) devices under the ReadyNAS nameskae. They include 1.5TB, 3TB and TB offerings, delivering centralized network storage to up to 200 users. The devices support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and auto-expandable X-RAID2. They also feature dual redundant Gigabit Ethernet ports for failover protection. The ReadyNAS Pro products support up to six SATA I or SATA II hard drives via six lockable, hot-swappable disk trays. Three USB 2.0 ports enable the connection of USB drives or printers.
In spite of attempts to blur distinctions, BlackBerry and iPhone owners are still fundamentally opposed when it comes to what they like about their phones, according to new research from ChangeWave. Research in Motion's attempts to focus on media functions with the Curve and Pearl have still resulted in most customers preferring the phones for e-mail, with 56 percent of users citing BlackBerry line's signature "push" mail as their primary desire. Nearly all other features were distant concerns, with ease of use, the keyboard, and size all cited by less than 10 percent of the responding group.
T-Mobile will carry two new Sidekick messaging phones this summer, according to an apparent leak from TmoNews. Danger and at least one of its partners will release a mystery device nicknamed the "Gekko" on July 27th; a second known as the "Aspen" will follow shortly afterwards on the 30th. Details of the devices are unknown, though the possibility exists that the phones will either be special editions of existing models with new artwork in addition to possible replacement models.
Verizon is claiming to have had extremely healthy financial results in its first quarter, despite intense competition and a failing American economy. Total revenues increased 5.5 percent to $23.8 billion, while operating income went up 14.1 percent to $4.3 billion. The company notably claims that its Wireless division gained more customers than any of its rivals, at a net increase of 1.5 million; this is despite the threat posed by Sprint's Simply Everything plan, and the iPhone carried by AT&T.
Early supercomputer developer Cray said today that it was working with Intel for mutual help on advancing supercomputers. The teamwork will see Cray help Intel develop the technology for clusters as well as to improve the in-processor technology, such as newer generations of multi-core processors. In return, Cray will make its first use Intel's processors for its own supercomputers, replacing AMD Opterons and more specialized supercomputer chips.
AMD on Monday announced it will be adding Business Class platforms to its line-up of multi-core CPUs. The maker's dual-core Athlon and triple or quad-core Phenom CPUs, coupled with AMD 780V chipset and optional ATI Radeon integrated graphics support are featured in the Business Class. The benefits of the new platforms will include up to 24-month image stability when installed in first-issue desktops, and a minimum 12 months in subsequent models. Furthermore, all are energy efficient thanks to Energy Star 4.0 rating.
A German accessory maker, Fanatec, says it has developed a new gaming wheel in collaboration with the country's most famous sports car builder, Porsche. The 911 Turbo Wheel is based on Porsche's most popular vehicle, and includes not just a wheel but a 6+1 gearshift, along with gas, brake and clutch pedals. Force feedback is provided by three different motors, and the wheel's handle is covered in "automotive-grade" leather.
Agile has released a new upgrade for 1Password, bringing the software to v2.6. The program is used to automate the entry of web passwords, and can also fill in other forms such as those for credit cards and bank accounts. To protect against the inherent danger of this, the app includes anti-phishing protection. New to v2.6 is an expanded anti-phishing safeguard, in the form of an online service by PhishTank. This service is, however, purely optional.
Japanese electronics maker Planex today launched a pair of networked hard drives it says streamline loading web video on portable players. The DigiJuke 500GB and 1TB both include facilities to download clips from YouTube or similar Flash videos directly to the drive and convert them into "universal" video. Although the conversion software is built for Windows, clips are saved in MPEG-4 and will play properly on video-capable iPods as well as the PSP, PS3, and the Wii.
Weird Kid has released the v9.7 update to Emailchemy, its primary e-mail management utility. The software is used to migrate messages kept in otherwise closed or outdated formats, converting them into standard formats that be can read by any modern app. Options also include splitting, sorting and merging archives, harvesting addresses, or uploading to Google Apps.
HP on Monday added two new desktop PCs for business users to its range, with the Compaq dc5850 and Compaq dx2450. The two are some of the first HP PCs to use AMD's triple- and quad-core Phenom X3 processors. The latter is the value-oriented offering, and can be configured with a choice of AMD processors, ranging from the 2.1GHz Sempron, through the 2.8GHz Athlon and to the 2.5GHz Phenom. Four memory slots allow for expansion up to 4GB while NVIDIA and ATI graphics cards are offered as options. Operating systems are Windows offerings that include a range of Vista and XP Professional interfaces, as well as FreeDOS.
ASUS is enjoying enough success with its Eee PC line that it's considering marketing the micro systems under a separate brand, according to claims circulating in its home country of Taiwan. The company's plans to launch the E-DT desktop and monitor as well as an Eee TV reportedly has the company looking to drop the ASUS name from the systems to create a whole lineup. Moving to a separate name would let the company expand the Eee name to include more expensive systems without affecting the normal ASUS line.
Freeridecoding has opened a public beta for a new application, BurnAgain FS. Unlike some of the company's other programs, which operate entirely under a separate window, FS lets users change the data on a CD or DVD through Finder. It does this by mounting a disc as if it were a hard drive, in turn letting users add, edit and delete files multiple times until a disc becomes full, without creating multiple volumes.
NVIDIA has opted for a low-key release today in its unveiling for the GeForce 9600 GSO, a new entry-to-mid range video chipset. The card uses the same single-slot design and chip features of the 9600 GT but scales down both clock speed and the memory path to trim the price. The GSO runs its core at 550MHz (down from 650MHz) and its 384MB of memory at an effective 1.6GHz (down from the 1.8GHz of the GT's 512MB of memory). A 192-bit memory interface also shrinks the complexity of the chip from its 256-bit counterpart.
QuickerTek has announced that it is shipping new versions of its Dualy Extreme Wi-Fi extender, this time designed around Apple's Time Capsule backup/NAS drives. The standard option consists of two 500mW transceivers (1W combined) connected to two antennas, which can increase the range of a Time Capsule up to five times; alternately, this may help power past nearby obstacles, such as signal interference or intervening walls and floors.
Memorex on Monday launched a visual redesign of its MMP media player line that introduces a much simpler interface as well as a new form factor. The Clip & Play (pictured) aims at the same audience as the iPod shuffle or Sansa Clip and comes in a very small, squarish design that can be hooked to a shirt edge or belt during exercise. Despite the size, Memorex finds room for a two-line OLED screen that itself allows extra features such as an equalizer and an FM radio tuner. The jukebox plays MP3 and WMA for up to 10 hours on a charge and sells for $50 with 2GB of built-in flash.
The 3G iPhone is not only coming in June, but its early production numbers are already known, a Taiwanese newspaper claims. Industry publication Commercial Times is citing institutional investors, who say that Foxconn has landed a contract to begin assembling new iPhones for shipment in June. While this echoes earlier reports from March, CT says it has also obtained information from component suppliers, who have been told by Apple that the should begin preparing material supplies by the end of May.
On the fifth anniversary of iTunes, Apple Monday morning introduced a major performance upgrade to the iMac that marks the first refresh since the aluminum design was introduced in August of last year. Every system uses Core 2 Duo processors based on Intel's new 45 nanometer Penryn architecture and in many cases go beyond Intel's maximum speeds: all models include a 1,066MHz system bus that is still unavailable on any official mobile Core 2 chip, and the top-end model runs at 3.06GHz. All additionally include a larger 6MB of Level 2 cache, while an optional GeForce 8800 GS provides faster 3D for gaming on the 24-inch models.
Nokia this morning stepped out of its routine to launch three new minimalist cellphones that target the new mid-range. The 6600 fold has some of the company's most advanced displays and centers around a hidden screen on the outer shell: while the surface appears blank, double-tapping the shell lets users check for the time or missed calls. Inside is one of Nokia's first OLEDs which provides a full 16 million color palette. Like the 3555 and 6555, the clamshell creates a seamless back which is reportedly more comfortable than on traditional flip phones.
Apple on Monday celebrated the fifth anniversary of iTunes (Music Store) with a look at back at all "all of the great music, video, and exclusives" that users discovered on iTunes and highlighting the songs and shows that defined each year. On its iTunes store, Apple offered a brief history along with a collection of "best sellers". The company, which launched the iTunes Store on April 28, 2003, claims grew its music catalog of more than 200,000 songs and a handful of exclusive tracks to more than 10 million, according to info available at the online store -- up 66 percent from the 6 million song catalog announced in early April. Update: As readers point out, the iTunes software was released in 2001. [updated]
With little incentive to continue selling PowerPC-based chips, the US Department of Defense may plead its case against Apple following the announcement of the $278 million buyout of startup chipmaker PA Semi. The acquisition appears to be focused on the company's intellectual property and talent for reducing chip power consumption rather than its products, the report notes. Last week, the EETimes said that Apple may have to face the ire of the U.S. Department of Defense following its planned acquisition, as its customers expect Apple to end-of-life its current chips that are used in a wide variety of military devices.
Adobe on Monday announced that GoLive website creation tool has been discontinued in favor of Dreamweaver, the popular design tool acquired from Macromedia a little more than three years ago; confirming reports from a almost two years ago (which the company later denied and subsequently promised continued support), Adobe said it has ceased development and sales of the effective Monday, April 28, 2008. However, despite the Macworld report, the software was still available for sale (and as an upgrade) on Adobe's website early Monday morning.

WEST ORANGE -- Seton Hall Prep pitcher Rick Porcello stepped up to the podium and watched his school's student body rise up and give him a standing ovation Thursday.
The applause grew louder and longer and the Chester resident could hardly believe it.
Porcello was honored as Gatorade's National Player of the Year in the school's jam-packed auditorium. The award was noteworthy and so was the reception from the assembly, which included former New Jersey Governor Dick Codey, a West Orange resident. ...
