Time to share another submission on Guest Blogger Friday. You guys remember Myspace? Well, I (like many of you) spent a lot of time on Myspace and one of the things I enjoyed about the site was reading through some of the blogs. Articles from people I had never met, yet I found interesting, funny, thought provoking, etc... Well, I was intrigued when I noticed that we had a local blogger whose articles were consistently showcased prominently on the site. Her name was Madge, and I found that we shared common views on a wide range of topics (insert "Cool story, bro." here). When Madge and I connected on a far more relevant social networking site recently, an article for Guest Blogger Friday seemed obvious.
"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." I know its become cliche and everyone has said it, but yea, Andy Warhol was right. Then some dude named David Weinberger said, "On the Web, everyone will be famous to fifteen people". That's more like it.
With so many different ways to communicate instantly and so many different media venues, and recording devices at our fingertips, fame has become an epidemic. On smaller levels, I don't even know if it's fame... just attention. I had no freakin' idea there were so many people in this world that didn't get enough hugs as a child. There are a whole bunch of people in this world that make strippers (those most in need of attention) look like reclusive loners that think Ted Kaczynski was a social butterfly.
Case in point, our latest non-celebrity attention whore, Mariah Yeater. Sister-girl goes and files suit that little ole Justin Bieber fathered her child. My guess is, she just wants her 15 minutes (and a little walking around money) anyway she can get it. Even if it's making herself look like a trollop. Have you seen her pics? Ew. If it were true, I certainly hoped he'd have better taste than that. But I guess some guys get a thrill out of slummin' it, too.
This may be a dated reference but it's an excellent case study in attention whoreism, that idiot Balloon boy Dad. He doesn't even merit a name mention. Who orchestrates that nonsense and tells your kids to lie just to get his rejected-actor-ass on TV? He should be renamed "Dbag Dad".
How hungry for attention have we become as a society? Is it because there are more chances for fame and money? Is it because people have become less loving? Do we all just need a group hug and a Snuggi? Is it because life has become so stressful and expensive that we have "quick buck envy"? We figure if Snooki can make money, so can we? Oh Christ, if she can, I should be a skajillionaire with my drunk-ass shenanigans. So, I'm 20 years older than her, and my cans are a cup size smaller, it could still happen.
Speaking of Snooki…
I admit sometimes I find myself in attention whore mode. I wrote an almost daily blog for years with hundreds of readers and hundreds of comments each day. That can certainly be addicting. But I stopped. I don't know why. Got writer's block, got tired, started getting haters, whatever. A couple years have gone by and I find myself dipping my toe into the attention waters from time to time. Posting statuses on Facebook, witty retorts on Twitter, guestblogs for the fabulous Mike Danger... And sometimes when no one responds to my witty retorts... I post a pic with cleavage. There, I said it! Ya' got me! I'm a closet attention whore! I need hugs! Forgive me Father for I have sinned...
They say the first step is admitting you have a problem. I'm Madge, and I'm an Attention Whore. (slinks away weeping)
Madge is Marketing Consultant in Rochester who has issues. She's loud, short and has red hair. Follow Madge on Twitter
RIP Andy
Andy Rooney passed away over the weekend at the age of 92. If you think I hate everything, check out this dude's body of work. I look at Andy Rooney like the Nickelback of news. No one will admit that they like him, but someone went out and bought those 50 million albums. I'd say TV will never be the same, but I never watched 60 minutes anyway. What am I, 76 years old?
RIP DIppin' Dots
Remember when Dippin' Dots first dropped on the scene? "The Ice Cream of the Future!" Well, the future is over, apparently. Dippin' Dots have filed for bankruptcy. I'm going to shane an unpopular opinion with you. Dippin' Dots are TOTALLY overrated. This is the problem I have with a lot of things. Something is totally awesome on its own, and we feel the need to try and improve it. Ice cream is one of those things. HD TV is one of those things. I don't need 3D TV when my HD TV is perfect as it stands. Why would you want to try and improve Ice Cream? Oh, and at a higher price point, too? I think I paid something like $8 for a small cup at Darien Lake once. No thanks. Hit the bricks, Dippin' Dots.
RIP Champ, wait...no?
Many reports all weekend on the death of Joe Frazier. Only problem is, as I'm writing this he's still alive...I think. Regardless, it sounds like he doesn't have much time and some jouranlists out there aren't checking thier sources. Small favor to ask...if I'm sick, please wait until I'm actually dead before you announce it to the world. In the meantime, I'm going to make up my own RIP claims. Nice run, Adam Sandler. You will be missed.
Clam Flesh
That's a lot of morbid to start off your Monday, so allow me to switch gears and share a video I found over the weekend. Sadly, I am not the deviant who came up with this. Nigella Lawson of Food Network talks dirty. Enjoy...
Call me crazy.
Best of 2011
As the calendar gets ready to turn over to November, there are going to be a rash of year ending, authoritative sounding Best of 2011 lists being released – whether it's for albums, singles, movies, TV shows, iPhone apps, nipple slips, etc. I'm warning you: everyone makes one for something, and everyone thinks theirs is the definitive one on that particular subject.
What is it about lists that fascinate our feeble minds so? I will read any list I come across, judge it harshly, and probably leave a comment on where I believe it was wrong. But in reality, who the hell cares whether the new Black Keys album is placed at #4 on one list or at #5 on another, when I think it should be at #3? (Note: this is an example, and is not what I actually think about the new Black Keys album, since I haven't heard it yet.)
Every list is arbitrarily made, most are hastily thrown together, and none of them are going to encompass the whole of the continuous march of culture that has taken place in the past 12 months. But that shouldn't stop anyone from making one. Why? Because they're fun as hell, and even if you're not a critic, it's fun to play one every so often.
Make a list, share it on Facebook, tweet about it, email it to everyone you know. Make it about whatever you like most in life. Beer you tried, humiliating Yankee losses, jokes about Steve Jobs' death. (Too soon?) But God help you if you put the Bon Iver album any lower than number 5 on Best Albums.
There has been a rash of discussion on Twitter about a service called Klout – whether it's useful, how it measures people, what everyone's score is. Klout describes itself as "the standard for influence." What that actually means is that they attempt to measure, when you tweet, how much it's acted upon, and they give a number that represents that action. If you haven't tried it to see your own score, go ahead. I'll wait. Put your score in the comments so we can all laugh at how little sway you have over anyone else.
But here's the trick: no one should care in the slightest what that number is. It's a made up number, arrived at through fancy algorithms and inane bullshit, and it's not relevant to anything outside of Twitter, which is already the least effective tool for judging anything.
My Klout dropped a point! *sob*
If you're looking to converse with people about a certain topic, don't you already know who the influential people are? Besides, it doesn't seem like it really knows what the hell is going on. I mean, Klout will tell you that Mike Danger is influential about Religion & Spirituality. Maybe he's talking to other people about his thoughts on the Abrahamic religions, but I've never seen it.
Stick to who you know. Stick to who they know. Chances are, if you're already following someone you like, you'll probably like the people they follow as well. And if you don't, just unfollow them. You don't need fancy metrics for that. And if someone ever, anywhere, asks you in a serious manner what your Klout score is, you should immediately cease conversing with that person.
The End of a Baseball Season
No one, except for me and Ken Burns, cares about baseball anymore. Sure, six billion people show up to watch baseball games each year, but no one goes for much more than the ambiance of being at a baseball game. Speaking as a fan, even I could wander around Frontier Field for the entirety of a game, eating hot dogs and fried dough and drinking Rohrbach's Red Wing Ale. How many 6 to 3 putouts can a casual fan be expected to take in over the course of three hours?
With the completion of the World Series this week, we'll all have to wait until next April for that experience again – unless you're in Florida or Arizona, in which case you only need to wait until February.
Parking Tickets
I saw Danger's story about his wife keying the hell out of some poor bastard's car when they first met, and the accompanying picture of a "You Suck At Parking" card.
When I was in Urban Outfitters in Buffalo not long ago (waiting for my girlfriend; I perused their vinyl and kitschy book selection), I saw them selling whole books of those tickets that you could tear out when someone offended you with his or her terrible parking job.
The best one? "The way you pulled in makes me wish your dad had pulled out."

Greetings, fellow cartographers!
Here is a little bit about my interests and preferences:
For years now I have been making maps of my own lands, documenting histories of my own civilizations, and even creating whole new worlds complete with physics, species, and unique geography.
I have always been the "wierd smart kid" and been told to "go read" or " make a map to the nearest door and follow it."
I love penmanship and calligraphy, cartography, history, dragons, reading, mythology, nature, animals, and science, among many others.
I am in the process in making yet another realm, and I look forward to learning more mapmaking skills and ideas from here!
It is an honor to be able to call myself a member of the cartographers' guild!
- Eternal Damnation, fellow cartographer.

Interview and Giveaway with author Laurie London
We have author Laurie London with us today to talk about her Sweetblood series and her most recent installment, Tempted By Blood.
Make sure to keep reading after the interview to learn how you can win a signed copy of Tempted By Blood.
For those who are new to your books, what is your Sweetblood series about?
The Sweetblood series is set primarily in the Pacific Northwest and is about two vampire coalitions who are battling it out for supremacy: Guardian enforcers sworn to protect humanity, and Darkbloods, rogues who sell Sweet on the vampire black market. Sweetbloods are humans with a very rare blood type that is highly addictive to vampires.
How have things changed in your series since book one?
While the romance between the hero and the heroine are always at the forefront of the Sweetblood books, the stakes between the Guardians and their enemies have been increasing steadily with each installment. The villain has an overall character arc that spans through book four.
Can you tell us about your latest release, Tempted By Blood?
I had such a great time writing Jackson and Arianna's story. Readers familiar with the first two books know that Jackson is the playboy, the charmer. Rarely does he spend a night alone. However, as I got to know him, quite a few things about him surprised me. Because I wrote the book to stand on its own, if someone hasn't read the first two books, they won't be lost.
Lately, Jackson's dark urges have been getting stronger and harder to control. He believes he's on the verge of reverting back to the violent ways of his ancestors. And if that happens, he'll be branded a traitor among the Guardians and put to death.
When Arianna gets into harm's way, Jackson is assigned to protect her, but she awakens in him a need much stronger than anything he's ever encountered before. And that's when the trouble begins…
What 3 words would you use to describe Jackson? How about Arianna?
Jackson: fun-loving, charmer, hungry
Arianna: blogger, loyal, tenacious
Did you always plan for Jackson and Arianna to end up together or did their relationship start to form as you wrote the series?
I didn't know Arianna before I wrote the book, however I did know her cousin. (Minor spoiler: Jackson rescues her at the end of book 2.) I knew that the love of his life had a tie to the young girl he saved.
Without giving away too much, what is your favorite scene or line from Tempted By Blood?
Here's a little excerpt of one of my favorite scenes. Arianna has just learned that Jackson is a vampire.
His stomach growled. Loudly. A laugh burst from her lips. Startled, he looked over at her. "Well, that was unexpected," he said.
"That better not be because of me, because…well, that'd just be wrong."
If you could go on your dream date with your choice of Dominic, Alfonso or Jackson, who would you pick and what would you do on your date?
What a tough question because I love them all. Dom and I would go to an art gallery. Alfonso would play his guitar for me. Jackson would take me dancing and then we'd get matching tattoos.
If the decision was yours, would you rather see your books made into a movie or T.V. series? What actors would you pick to play your characters?
I'd probably pick TV (HBO or Showtime) because it's not just one big story that happens, but several stories, which would be better served with an ongoing series. Dom would be played by a tall, muscle-y Rodrigo Santoro. Alfonso would be played by someone who looks a little like Keith Urban. Jackson would be played by an actor who looks like model Tommy Dunn.
What else can we expect to see from you in 2012?
In addition to Jackson's book, Santiago's book, SEDUCED BY BLOOD, is scheduled to come out in July.

text: The Geological Survey of Iran (GSI) was established in 1962, through a special fund project of United Nations. The GSI is authorized to carry out geological and mineral investigations throughout the country, to collect results of activities performed in this respect, to establish interrelationship and coordination between such activities and to prepare, complete, and publish geological maps of Iran. In 1999, the exploration duties of the Ministry of Mines and Metals were totally assigned to the GSI. The GSI is now responsible for the geological study of the country, and the exploration-evaluation of the mineral resources (except hydrocarbons). This commitment is accomplished by the activities of different groups of GSI, such as Stratigraphy, Petrology, Sedimentology, Marine Geology, Paleontology, Tectonics, Seismotectonics, Exploration, Geophysics, Geochemistry, Geomatics and different labs, according to the general directions laid down by the Ministry of Mines and Metals, in the framework of the recently approved "Mining Law". Presently about 700 people are working at the GSI, where their skills along with laboratory and computer facilities are used to carry out research and exploration projects of high quality. The central headquarters of GSI is in Tehran, and there are five other headquarters in the northwest (Tabriz), northeast (Mashhad), south (Shiraz), southwest (Ahwaz), and southeast (Kerman) of the country. These headquarters carry out local functions of the GSI. The GSI also cooperates with other organizations in Iran and abroad through bilateral cooperation or joint research programs. In order to transfer the geological knowledge and publish new scientific findings, GSI started publishing the Geosciences Scientific Quarterly Journal in Autumn 1992.

|County adopts new weed and junk regulation
|Written by Darci Tomky
Phillips County commissioners adopted a new weed and junk regulation, as reported at their Monday, Sept. 30 meeting.
This is a brand-new amendment to zoning regulations that will now allow the county a way to address problems with weeds and junk in the county.
"It gives the county the power to do something," said county administrator Randy Schafer.
The regulation is driven by complaints, he said, so residents will need to file a complaint with the county, which will start an investigation and initiate a meeting with the resident.
They will work toward a solution, and if a solution cannot be found, the person will be fined.
Schafer said in the past they've had complaints about objects blowing off a property into someone else's property. The regulation also addresses junk that could be a health concern or weeds that could pose fire danger, among other things.
The administrator noted zoned industrial tracts of 10 acres or more and agriculture properties are exempt from the new regulation.
Landfill tire charges increase
Phillips County has revised its tire fees at the landfill due to increases from Resource Management, the company that takes care of the county's tire disposal.
Charges are as follows:
—Truck tire, $10, up from $6.
—Super single truck, $15, up from $10.
—Truck tire on rim, $15 plus weight charge, up from $12.
—Pivot irrigation, $15, up from $9.
—Tractor tire up to 18.4 inches wide, $25, up from $17.
—Tractor tire on rim, $34 plus weight charge.
—Large tractor tire and small loader tire, $50 (new category).
In the month of September, Phillips County was also working on the new parking facility to the east of the courthouse in the 200 block of South Campbell Avenue. It is nearing completion, with the plumbing and doors already installed.
Next week, they plan to pour cement. They also need to finish the electrical work and decorative brick facing. A sprinkler system has been installed on the north and west sides of the parking facility, with plans to plant sod soon.
Commissioners have also been busy attending meetings to inform the public about the 51st state issue. They are in the process of meeting with school boards, city councils, local organizations and more within the county.
They hope to better explain why the 51st state question is on the ballot and how the residents will be able to vote to let the county know whether they should pursue the idea of a new state.
"It's a statement; that's all it is," said commissioner Joe Kinnie. "We are tired of the way things are being done." He went on to say he hopes people will back Phillips County's proposal for equal representation on the state level.
At Monday's commissioner meeting, the board reported they have reapplied for a Historical Grant for the third time. If awarded, the $110,000 grant will contribute to a total project cost of $160,000 to replace inside window panes at the courthouse, work on the outside of the windows and restore the chimney.
Phillips County is also replacing the video conference system in the courtroom, which is used to monitor proceedings and for video arraignments. The previous system was damaged this summer because of something electrical or possibly lightning. The Solutionz Conferencing system costs $9,287.
In September, commissioners received and began reviewing submitted budgets by county departments for next year's budget.
Beginning Oct. 1, Forest Coronado started as a full-time maintenance worker at Phillips County Fairgrounds.

BEIRUT (AP) - It's been a fourth straight day of artillery fire between Syria and Turkey, in the aftermath of Wednesday's shelling that killed five civilians in a Turkish border town.
The exchange of fire is adding to fears that the civil war in Syria will erupt into a regional conflict.
According to Turkish media, Today's cross-border exchange began when two mortar shells from Syria landed in rural areas near a Turkish village, prompting return fire from Turkey. A third shell later hit near another village, and officials say Turkish troops fired back.
No casualties are reported.
The shelling took place as Syrian rebels clashed with President Bashar Assad's forces near the border.
Turkey and Syria were once strong allies, but the relationship has deteriorated sharply since the uprising against Assad began last year. Turkey is one of the harshest critics of Assad's crackdown on opponents.

Awesome. Definitely a great kid and worth a shot as a walk-on. I hope his health stays sound.

Coming in as a grey-shirt
He is going to be a greyshirt.
I like this pickup. I saw him play several games over career, he has been accurate and makes good decisions. A lot of good schools had interest before the ACL tear and I can't see anything he did last year after coming back that wouldn't have confirmed his ability. Although, the game against Ankeny in the dome was not a typical performance.
What color shirt will he wear?
Its beyond pride. Its a restored trust. Theres a confidence again, a passion that teeters on swagger. More than anything, (Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads) has restored the Iowa State it factor, the steadfast belief that it is great to be a Cyclone...the mans enthusiasm is genuine to the core...

Alligator PTFE Galvanized Cables are thermo bonded to greatly improve performance and reduce friction. PTFE coating allows for smooth, precise shifting and one-finger braking. These cables are also self-lubricating, weather-proof and low-maintenance.
Alligator makes great components and accessories and sells them at an economical price. To see a list of Alligator products available at Price Point, click the link.
Due to manufacturer restrictions we can only ship this item within the U.S.
Just like the the cables from the factory. Great for my new build. I have been using these for years with great success. These reduce shifting effort and it stays smooth for a long time.
I had a little trouble routing through my SRAM XO shifter (2006), but after super gluing the end together to prevent fraying, it worked just fine. Currently using super glue instead of cable crimp caps.
Great cables, good price. Improved shifting/braking over non-coated cables.
The price is right and it has worked great for 3 years now.
If you are looking to replace your cables this is a great option. They are high quality and hardly stretch. Hardly an friction with my Jagwire housing.
Very good quality as Shimano
Alligator products work well and Price Point offers them at a great price.
The quality of the cable is great. But if you have an XL frame, (FSR 29er in my case) it may not be long enough to reach a rear cable actuated brake in the rear, 3 inches too short. Most folks won't have this issue.

our storage space is decreasing fast. The hardware is old but still doing fine (2x Quad Core + 32 GB RAM). We have only a few users (<150). Each user has 20GB and more in his/her Inbox. Enforcing quota is no option. The server has a dedicated network card to access a storage network which is used for backups. We could easily attach a 1 TB volume to the server via NFS.
Would HFS be an option? So, lets say, everything older than 2 years moves to the NFS storage. What are the impacts? Very important question to us: If we move to a new hardware, are we able to revert this step easily? So, I would like to disable the HFS later and move all mails back to the main storage.
Has anybody longterm experiences with HFS?
Kind regards

Researchers Are Developing Ways to Edit...

Ensemble Therapeutics said it will launch an up-to-$186 million research collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim to discover candidates from a class of small molecule drugs called macrocycles against several undisclosed "high-value" targets specified by the pharma giant.
Ensemble said it will receive an upfront payment and research funding, both undisclosed, with the full $186 million tied to milestones in reaching full commercial success for multiple drug products. Ensemble is also eligible for royalties on future sales of products arising from the collaboration.
Boehringer will have exclusive rights to develop and commercialize substances from the collaboration, which will deploy Ensemble's drug discovery platforms, including its Ensemblin™ collection of about 5 million macrocycles. Ensemblins are a class of synthetic macrocycles designed to address many protein targets that cannot be modulated effectively by traditional small molecule drug compounds.
While macrocycles have been challenging to synthesize in large numbers, constraining their wider use until now, Ensemble's platform generates millions of macrocyclic Ensemblins as drug candidates, which according to the company is larger than any collection previously synthesized in the pharmaceutical industry.
The Boehringer collaboration follows earlier joint research efforts based on Ensemble's macrocycle libraries with Genentech, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Pfizer.
Ensemble's drug discovery and development efforts are focused on oncology and immuno-inflammatory diseases. Early next year the company is poised to begin development of its lead program, a small molecule antagonist of Interleukin-17, a cytokine linked to inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Born: 01/22/1953
Birth Place: Akron, Ohio, USA
Born on Jan. 22, 1953, Jarmusch was raised the middle of three children in Akron, OH, by his father, who worked for B.F. Goodwrench, and his mother, who wrote movie reviews for the Akron Beacon Journal. In fact, it was his mother who first sparked Jarmusch's passion for film by often leaving him in a local theater to watch double matinees of B-science fiction movies while she ran errands. His maternal grandmother had a bohemian streak, introducing the young Jarmusch to gypsies, Marcel Proust and Native American culture; the latter of which deeply influenced his later creative work as much as B movies did. After graduating Cayahoga Falls High School at 17, he scratched the itch to leav... Continue Bio >>

7 Awesome Reasons Denver Residents Look and Feel So Good
I've lived in Denver for one month now, and by the end of the first week it was clear to me why Colorado as a state and Denver as a city own the top of the healthiest lists. From activity to fresh air and an attitude that supports wellness, how could anyone not feel their best here?
Year after year, Colorado remains at the top of the list for healthiest states. The CDC's map of obesity trends starts in 1985, and it wasn't until 1990 that Colorado even showed up for having less than 10 percent of its population qualify as obese. The most current map is from 2012 and puts Colorado as one of only nine states with an obesity population under 25 percent. Fitness and hiking clothes seem to be The Official Denver Outfit, as everyone at brunch, the park, the grocery store, and the office seem to be dressed down and ready to move!
While there are no doubt more, these are seven killer reasons that Denver residents look and feel so darn good!
Very Bicycle Friendly. I'm confident I've seen more bicycles in the last four weeks than I've seen in the last four years. Whether for commutes, fun, or exercise, bicycles own the roads in Denver. As recent as 2011, bicycle commuters were 2.4 percent of Denver's population, a number up 183% since 1990. Bike racks and lanes exist everywhere, making it a no-brainer for cyclists to get out and ride to work, to the grocery store, or just out for fun. B-Cycle has 83 rental stations and 700 bikes throughout the city, making it pretty impossible not to bike.
Vegetarian Food Abounds. You can throw a stone and find vegetarian and even vegan dining options. Bonnie Brae makes a titillating homemade vegan ice cream, Native Foods has a mock fast food menu that will knock your socks off, and the locally-based Chipotle even puts sofritas (organic tofu braised with chilis and spices) on the menu. Every restaurant we've visited (and there have been a lot!) has hearty vegetarian options that even the most carnivorous will consider noshing on. The Goodness Truck roams around near Ft. Collins serving their grilled brie sandwich — to die! And all around the area you can dine at farm to table events.

Kansas City, KS (SportsNetwork.com) - Claudio Bieler's extra time tally held
up as the difference on Wednesday as Sporting Kansas City came away with a 3-1
second-leg and 4-3 aggregate triumph over the New England Revolution at
Sporting Park to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.
The Revolution earned a 2-1 victory at Gillette Stadium in last Saturday's
first leg, but Sporting had the better of the play in front of their home
fans and opened the scoring four minutes before the break.
Chance Myers sent a long ball into the penalty area that fell to the feet of
defender Aurelien Collin, who fired it home to put the sides back on level
terms at 2-2 on aggregate.
After the intermission, New England re-took the aggregate lead at 3-2 in the
70th minute when Kelyn Rowe whipped a free kick into the area that was
side-volleyed past Sporting goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen with tremendous pace by
Revs forward Dimitry Imbongo.
But nine minutes later, Sporting again equalized on aggregate when Seth
Sinovic powered down the left flank and smashed it past Revs goalkeeper Matt
Reis to the far post.
Sporting had the better of the play in extra time and capitalized on a
turnover in midfield in the 113th minute as Benny Feilhaber stepped up to win
the ball and came charging down the right wing.
He sent a low cross into the area where Bieler was left unmarked to slide it
home for his first goal since September.
Sporting moves on to face the Houston Dynamo, which topped Red Bull New York
by a 4-3 aggregate score earlier on Wednesday, in the East finals, which get
underway in Houston on Saturday.

Tennis Australia is worried about their Grand Slam.
According to The Independent, Tennis Australia believe their Slam lacks the same "lustre", facilites, and corporate involvement as the other three majors and could cause them to lose it. But that's not the only reason:
The source added that Tennis Australia were "dead worried" about losing their slam, one of the reasons being that it does not have a unique surface. Both the US and Australian Opens are played on hard court, while Wimbledon and Roland Garros are played on grass and clay respectively.Tennis Australia has called in HOK Sport, a London-based architecture agency responsible for Wimbledon's forthcoming Centre Court retractable roof and London's 2012 Olympic stadium, to help with revamping the Australian Open's facilities including better transportation to and from Melbourne Park and the possibility of tearing down and rebuilding Rod Laver Arena which may look "out of date" next to Wimby's new retractable roof.
Despite the concern, there are no plans to change the surface – it was only relaid this year – or move the date of the tournament in light of arguments that such a big event is held too early in the season. Authorities want to keep the January fortnight because it coincides with local school holidays and the finals take place on Australia Day weekend.
Rod Sheard of HOK Sport was quoted as saying:
The Victorian government has recognised that the tennis facilities at Melbourne need to be updated to keep up with the other slams. We have been commissioned alongside [Australian architect] Cox to look at the site and prepare a master plan. The authorities are pretty open-minded on what we recommend, and we're looking at things like crowd flows, corporate facilities, relocating the entrance and improving links to other sporting facilities nearby.I agree the Aussie Open's current surface isn't unique but the biggest reason for its identity crisis is the timing. We're force fed major tennis before we're even ready - there's no real build up to the Slam, no "season", to get fans excited about the year's first major, especially the casual fan. Plus, the ballers have just come off a (very) short break and aren't usually playing their best stuff yet. If they're not fully engaged, how can we be?
It would be in everyone's best interest to give some breathing room at the start of the year. Will it happen? Who knows.

From the former vice president and #1 New York Times best-selling author comes An Inconvenient Truth for everything - a frank and clear-eyed assessment of six critical drivers of global change in the decades to come.
Ours is a time of revolutionary change that has no precedent in history. With the same passion he brought to the challenge of climate change, and with his decades of experience on the front lines of global policy, Al Gore surveys our planet's beclouded horizon and offers a sober, learned, and ultimately hopeful forecast in the visionary tradition of Alvin Toffler's Future Shock and John Naisbitt's Megatrends. In The Future, Gore identifies the emerging forces that are reshaping our world:
From his earliest days in public life, Al Gore has been warning us of the promise and peril of emergent truths - no matter how "inconvenient" they may seem to be. As absorbing as it is visionary, The Future is a map of the world to come, from a man who has looked ahead before and been proven all too right.
©2013 Al Gore (P)2013 Random House Audio
"This is a great book. From political policy and economics to science and the most thorny ethical issues, Al Gore has stated the human condition and the issues we face forthrightly, fearlessly, and in easily understood language - and has said what must be done. I asked myself halfway through who else could have written a book of this magnitude. The only answer I could imagine was Jefferson." (E. O. Wilson, Harvard University, two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize)
"Who said a book should be easy? Demanding but Amaz"
Taxing, Comprehensive, Must.
Singularity (Ray), Abundance (Dimantis)
At times overwhelming, at times taxing. The reading of Al Gore is somewhat tiring at times but the message is always detailed, sharp and crucially important.
The reader is required to be smart and work through it but the payoff is amazing.
I was reading this after Singularity (Ray), Abundance (Dimantis) thinking it would be more or less a reiteration but I was amazed at the breath and depth of Al Gore knowledge.
The amounts of new information I was not aware of spanned and interwined between politics, genomics, global warming, world issues, robotics and a plethora of issues all backed up with ample of research details.
A must. As said taxing but book for the wise.
I love AUDIBLE! I never get mad at traffic jams and can listen to many different books, despite of my short time.
"Listen to this book and change your perspective"
I am afraid. In THE FUTURE, Al Gore opened my eyes about how urgent we need to act. We are heading for a world of destruction, of poverty, of loss of jobs, thirsty and hunger. And we are the guilty ones. But we still can change the planet and our future. Listen to it and see the world in another light.
Retired software entrepreneur, caring for disabled wife (MS) keeping her well supplied with listening material.
"Great book, start to finish."
Not many books have kept my interest over 18 hours, but this one did. Al Gore has such a lovely voice, it is too bad he didn't perform it himself, but the performance was flawless as it is.
"I had no idea... Out of control population growth"
and other policies which could harm the earth. Also a broad discussion of future technologies. I didn't know about the dangerous, out of control population growth in parts of Africa, Latin America and Asia, where it is up to 30 times the rate of North America and Europe, and the declining number of births of white Americans vs. foreign immigrants to this country. I also thought an interesting discussion of future advances in bio-tech, medicine, electronics and environmentally friendly technologies. I wasn't so enthusiastic about his proposing wealth distribution and increased taxes on estates and families. 2 of 3 aint bad Gore!
"Full of DATA and FACTS!"
FACTS, FACTS and FACTS
Everything regarding population growth. Had no idea! Too many bodies on this boat. We better learn how to swim.
"10 Stars!!!"
"The Future" is extremely well-researched, thoughtful and eye-opening. Al Gore does a great job with the narration!
If you listen to only one book this year, it should be this one. And then buy a copy and read it to your kids. The future may depend upon it.
"Wonderful content, poorly read"
Without a doubt!
I think Al Gore is a brilliant man, and wish he had been president of the United States. This book is an excellent detailed overview of the issues facing our time, and a considered approach to how to address each issue. However, I wish Al Gore himself hadn't narrated it. His dry, sometimes slow, drawl was hard to engage with, and it lulled me to sleep on more than one occasion.
"at times long winded but we'll worth the effort"
I hope my kids have a chance to read this while it's still relevant to their future
Father of 2 married 8 years. Forward is the only option
"Very informative very educational. Easy to listen"
I've only been partly aware of these issues since I listened to Silent Spring. And after that I listen to incognito. Al Gore opens a full spectrum of all the things that put this world in danger. But also list the good promise change. I am only a listener now but in using a lot of the ideas you gave us to my own life. And instill these ideas into my children which are the future. Thank You Al!

"After "The Assault on Reason," this is nothing."
Yes, I'd hope he be as real as he was in "The Assault on Reason".
Al Gore, is Al Gore. A magnificient writer and narrator.
I'm so disappointed in Al Gore.... He's stopped being for the people... I guess having the presidential election STOLEN by an unqualified, lesser man, was just too much. At least he wrote a fantastic book, "The Assault on Reason" before he quit. I keep hoping he'll join someone like Ralph Nader and come back and save us all from the horrible mess we're in ... with our freedom, privacy, human rights, health and our security being stollen from us by telecommunication-cell phone-smart meter nuts, Monsanto, Bankers and Wall Street.. "The Future" makes me think Al Gore has decided to join the monsters listed above.

Purdue, Henry needed a do-over on Irish pick
WEST LAFAYETTE — Rob Henry had his eyes locked on a teammate from the get-go.
Bennett Jackson had a pretty good look, too.
Upon further review, Henry would like a do-over.
Jackson, one of Notre Dame's tri-captains, stepped in front of an ill-advised Henry pass and his 34-yard touchdown return capped an electric 21-point spree in less than four minutes.
It was a throw which shaped the course of a 31-24 Irish win on Saturday, Sept. 14, and it was a play which may have finally kick-started an ND defense which had been void of game-changing moments.
Jarrett Grace, one of Notre Dame's inside linebackers, had a name for such an occasion.
"I think we needed a play. I call it a swagger play ... like, 'Alright, we got this boys,'" Grace said.
And perhaps no Irish player demonstrates a toughened, controlled swagger more than Jackson.
The Irish tri-captain saw a team leader kind of moment and jumped on it.
"I saw him do the shallow route, so I tried to squeeze to my man," Jackson said of the back-breaker of a play for the Boilermakers. "I looked to the quarterback and he just happened to be looking at him all the way ... gave me a nice chance to undercut him."
Henry simply didn't follow his checks, and it cost Purdue dearly.
"It was man coverage and I dropped back ... to be honest with you, I thought we were getting hell and I threw the ball," the Boiler senior said. "Number 2 is a good player and he made a good play. Looking back on it, there many things I wish I would have done.
"I wish I would have gotten to my second read, third read, but that's the difference in the game."
"Obviously, a couple of plays we would like to get back,'' Purdue head coach Darrell Hazell said. "I know that we're getting better ... that's the whole key to this program right now is to improve, but I'm not into moral victories."
The pick-six play gave the Irish a 31-17 lead, though with more than 11 minutes left, the outcome was far from decided.
But the game's energy was decidedly in Notre Dame's favor after the turnover.
"That play is phenomenal," Grace said. "That's why he has a 'C' on his chest. He's out there to make plays, to provide a huge spark, huge momentum change and I think it did that."
Head coach Brian Kelly, whose team wobbled early against the spirited Boilers and will face a third straight Big Ten Conference opponent next Saturday at home, agreed.
"To win, you have to do some things well late in the game," Kelly said. "In the second half, we outscored our opponent 28-14. I think a lesser teams wilts under the team that starts out that well.
"We didn't start really well, but we hung in there. We kept playing, we kept fighting."

Guys, guys. He couldn't have injured his right hand by shooting too much. He only shoots with his left!
Maybe it's one of those deals of "If you don't use it, you lose it" and his right hand is slowly deteriorating. The cast helps it stay in the right position otherwise it would become all deformed.
I know people hate attacks on players and this isn't meant as an "attack" but...geez, he is a liability on both sides of the ball. He literally is a vacuum on offense. He either gets the ball and has NO intentions of passing it, or just sucks the rhythm out of the offense. Seriously, just awful....
Yep, this thread has just been pwned.

With graduate studies in human resources or business costing from about $25,000 to more than $50,000 per year, why make the financial investment? Why not just snag a certification as an HR professional and call it good?
Because in today's business climate, where expectations of HR professionals have never been higher, that's not good enough.
So says Christopher Collins, associate professor in Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations. "The job is so much more complicated than it was 10 or 15 years ago. The demands placed on HR generalists in particular have grown so they have to be so much more in tune with business strategy, operational strategy and finance than ever before."
Such are the skills and training acquired in a master's program, Collins says. At Cornell, the proof is in the fact that the scores of corporate recruiters who come to campus each year tend to pass over the undergrad HR students in favor of newly minted Master of Industrial and Labor Relations with a concentration in Human Resources and Organizations.
And, Collins says, "There's probably a $25,000 to $30,000 premium for master's degree students over undergrads." That premium could be even greater if the student entered grad school with several years of on-the-job experience, he says.
Collins says someone with an advanced HR degree could probably expect to cover the cost of the degree ($28,260 per year at Cornell) and the lost income during the full-time, two-year course of study after five or six years. He says that graduates of Cornell's highly rated HR master's program generally find many opportunities for advancement and salary increases, which could whittle down that payback period.
An employee's advanced degree also benefits the employer, says Nancy Woolever, director of academic initiatives at the Society for Human Resource Management. "Principles and concepts learned during any graduate program expose the HR professional to viewpoints he or she may not have been exposed to previously. In the long run, this may mean additional competitive advantage for the organization in terms of applying evidence and knowledge acquired in graduate school to better manage the business enterprise."
Once you decide to take the plunge and go for an advanced degree, the next decision is whether to get what Deb Cohen, SHRM's chief knowledge officer, calls a "tagged" degree in HR (that is, a master's with an HR focus) or an MBA. Deciding factors are previous HR experience (if a lot, a more encompassing view of business via an MBA might be preferred) and career goals (if a high-level role in the company outside of HR is a prospect, an MBA is the best choice).
But for those wishing to remain in HR, a master's degree in HR can help set one apart from other HR professionals, improving chances for promotion or landing a better job at another organization.
"There are a lot of factors that you have to look at to decide which degree best fits for your needs," Cohen says. "I don't think there's a single answer. It depends on your background and what you want to do."
Another option that is less expensive and much quicker is certification as an HR professional or senior professional. Noncredit certification courses usually take just a few months.
"Graduate education and certification complement each other," Woolever says, "but it really depends on the individual's position and career aspirations. Certification provides the professional an opportunity to leverage expertise gained through practice, independent of whether he or she has earned a graduate degree."

1 dead, 3 rescued after boat capsizes off S Fla
Published: Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 9:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 9:58 p.m.
MIAMI BEACH — One person is dead after a boat capsized in rough waters off Miami Beach.
Miami Fire Rescue Lt. Ignatius Carroll says the boat was carrying four people when it capsized late Saturday.
Three of the people on board were able to swim to shore. Carroll says the body of the fourth passenger was found in the water a short time later.
Carroll says the three survivors were shaken up but were not injured.
Florida wildlife officials identified the victim as Ramon Uloa Rodriguez of Hialeah, the captain and owner of the boat.
Officials say Rodriguez suffered injuries to his left leg and apparently drowned.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating what caused the 23-foot boat to capsize.

Any bull with a 7 mag is a trophy. Very well done.
Great bull if you ask me. Good job and he will be some good eatin!
Good bull! I wouldn't pass him up especially in Oregon. Looks to be murderers creek genetics if im not mistaken.
There are very few units in Oregon where a bull like that gets to walk away. Great job on a nice bull, you should be very proud! Public land elk hunting in Oregon isn't easy.
Any bull is a great bull. Archery or Rifle success on a hunt isnt always killing something either it is what you learn and take home with you. Taking an animal is just the icing on the cake!

Prostate cancer will affect one in every six men this year. That's nearly 8,000 men in Georgia. It is the most common cancer found in American men, other than skin cancer. Unfortunately, it's not a health topic that men like to discuss, or even think about.
Early detection is key in successfully treating many cancers. For men diagnosed with prostate cancer, new research and improved treatment plans are yielding better outcomes and enabling patients to continue enjoying active, productive lives.
Prostate cancer screening
Typical prostate screenings include a rectal exam and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test. If a suspicious lump or area is found during the rectal exam, or if a PSA test reveals higher-than-normal results, a biopsy of the prostate may be performed to confirm if cancer is present.
To screen or not to screen
In 2011, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF), released recommendations discouraging the use of routine PSA testing for prostate cancer, asserting that the PSA blood test often produces false-positive results which lead to over treatment and negative psychological side effects.
Northside Hospital, however, agrees with prostate cancer screening guidelines established by the American Urological Association - that the PSA test is important in diagnosing prostate cancer at an early, more treatable stage in the course of the disease.
Avoid confusion by seeking guidance from the physician who knows you best, and talk about if screening for prostate cancer is right for you.
Starting the discussion
Men, at average risk for developing prostate cancer, should begin these talks at age 50. Talks should begin at age 45 for men at high risk, including African-American men and men with a first-degree relative (father, brother, son), who was diagnosed younger than age 65. Men, who have several first-degree relatives, who had prostate cancer at an early age, should discuss the pros and cons of early screening with their physician, beginning at age 40.
Available treatment options
Every case of prostate cancer is unique. Determining the most appropriate type of treatment depends upon a number of factors including the patient's age, general health status, disease progression (Gleason score) and others. Options include taking a "watchful-waiting approach," surgery, radiation and hormone therapy. In most cases, prostate cancer grows very slowly, allowing men diagnosed with the disease time to consider all available treatment options.

NEW YORK -- Pinterest fans know the image-sharing social network is a great place to get inspiration and save ideas on everything from home decorating to vacation planning. Since the boards belonging to "pinners" (aka Pinterest users) are open to everyone however, if you want to collect pictures and other info on gift-buying or even surprise parties, your plans were kind of hard to hide... until now.

MORE | Black Friday deals leaked
ALSO | Black Friday price predictions
In an exclusive announcement on TODAY, Pinterest rolled out "Secret Boards," an early holiday gift to the pinner community, which has let the social network know it wants the ability keep some plans private.
"As pinners prepare for the holiday season, they'll be able to create up to three secret boards," a Pinterest spokesperson told TODAY.com "And as holiday prep usually involves friends and family, they'll have the option to collaborate with fellow Pinners. So if you're planning a secret gift for your mom, you and your siblings will be able to pin the perfect gift together."
Here's how it works:
*To create a secret board, just scroll down to the bottom of your Pinterest profile to see your Secret Boards and click on "Create a Secret Board."
*The secret boards can easily be made public, by turning the "Secret" setting off - making it easy to reveal all of your great pins after the surprise is revealed.
If you're thinking Secret Boards are the perfect place to hide your secret stash of LOL Cats or, say, plan your wedding - you know, before you've even met Mr. or Mrs. Right, stay tuned. It's not clear if Secret Boards will stick around after the holidays, so just keep that in mind.

Welcome to our HeadRoom Amp & DAC Archive
All HeadRoom products have been discontinued. If you need any information about these products, potential upgrades, spare parts, repair work, or alternative options please feel free to give us a call at 800-828-8184 or email email@example.com.
Since we have been making great headphone amps and related products for nearly 20 years, there is a lot that has been discontinued to make way for newer and more advanced technologies. We have customers who call us all the time to say their 10 year old (or older) amp is still going strong. So, if you happen to own one of these great products, then congrats, you've got some great HeadRoom gear that will perform wonderfully for years to come!
Here is a collection of products we've made in the past, along with owner's manuals available for download. Starting with most recent products first, welcome to HeadRoom's Manufactured Products Archive!
Feel free to email us if you have any questions regarding our archive or if you own something that we are missing and we'll add it!
Generation III: 2005-2013
The "Ultra Micro" Line
The Ultra Micro DAC & Ultra Micro Amp were both great little products whose size belied their true talents. We are sad to see them go, but found most folks benefited more from our Desktop Amp which provides similar sound quality but better connectivity & features. If you're lucky enough to own one or both of these, you own some of the best sounding gear per square inch on the planet!
Ultra Micro DAC
The Ultra Micro DAC is able to buffer USB from your computer for low-jitter smoothness; able to strip S/PDIF digital data from optical or coax inputs in a single flick of a switch; as well as source a sweet analog signal for your favorite headphone or speaker based back-end.
Discontinued 2010.

The "Desktop" Line- Discontinued Products
When we first released the Desktop Line of products, there were a total of 72 configurations available. After a bit we realized this was too many flavors, and began to create some popular 'preconfigured' versions. Then after a while still, we realized we still had too many products, so we sat down, made some hard decisions, and paired down yet again. What remains in the Desktop Amp, the Ultra Desktop Amp, and Balanced Ultra Desktop Amp. Here are a few that were still great products, and we were sorry to see them go.
Balanced Desktop Amp
The Balanced Desktop Amp was an all-in-one balanced Amp/DAC combo. The Balanced Desktop was discontinued in order to make way for the new Balanced Ultra Desktop Amp (BUDA) and Ultra Desktop DAC, released in 2009.
The Balanced Desktop Amp demolishes all previous sound, size, and price barriers, and it's immersive sonics and spacious soundstage are an audiophile breakthrough.
Discontinued 2008
Balanced Desktop Amp Manual (pdf)
Desktop Millet Hybrid Amp
The Desktop Millet Hybrid was an interesting creature, part tube amp (for output stages), part solid-state. Hence, hybrid. These products did not fly off the shelves, but those that loved them were true believers, and for them, it is missed!
This is a great amp for your old rock and jazz recording, as well as a lot of the more current dance and remix tracks that sometime tend toward being harsh.
Discontinued 2008

The "Max" & "Home" Lines of Products
These flagship products were impressive to behold and to hear. As cool as they were, we were happy to roll all this excellent sound & quality into our more affordable and more reasonably sized Desktop Line. Our Balanced Max Amp weighed in at a whopping 18 pounds!!

Home Amp Manual (pdf)
Generation I – "Micro Line"
This was our first generation of Micro Amp & Micro DAC products. They ran on battery power, which was great when on the road, but a hassle to lug around or try to find 9 volt batteries. And, this was not the greatest for office/home use, so we heard our customer requests and made battery/AC specific Micro products, and now offer the Portable Micro, (AC) Micro, and (AC) Micro DAC.
2005 Micro Amp (v.1) 9 volt version
This amp will easily find a convenient spot on your desktop or nightstand, and the variety of options and upgrades allow you to configure it as the perfect interface between your world of media and the space between your ears.

Generation III – "Mobile Line"
At one point, we had 8 products in our Mobile Line, the AirHead, Total AirHead, BitHead, and Total BitHead, all available in black or clear. We were able to improve sound quality and reduce price when we consolidated these units into our 2 version of today, the Total AirHead and Total BitHead.
AirHead & Total AirHead
The AirHead is the smallest and lightest portable headphone amplifier and processor in our line. You will hear a wonderful improvement in a high-quality headphone's ability to resolve musical detail, deliver deep, tight bass and present a more natural audio image. The Total AirHead features all the same functionality as our AirHead, but with better internal parts you will experience upgraded sound quality.
Discontinued 2008

Limited Edition, spring 2005
These cute little amps were pre-cursor to our first generation of Micro Line products. We only made 200 of each, these could be considered collector items!
Coda Amp (limited edition)
The Coda Amp is the finishing touch to our entire product line of aluminum enclosure amps. The Micro Amp is the current successor to the Coda Amp.
Discontinued 2005
Overture DAC (limited edition)
The Overture DAC was the first time we paired up digital to analog conversion with headphone amplifications; and certainly not the last.
Discontinued 2005
Coda Amp & Overture DAC (pdf)
Generation II: 2001-2005 Line
And now, we're stepping into the way-back machine to a previous life — the world before digital. Okay, not really, but certainly before the iPod or before computer listening really took off. We still talk to many customers who own amps from this line and use them on a daily basis — our products really do stand the test of time!
Little Amp
The Little is our introductory home amp. It is a non-portable amp that is conveniently small, and matches up well with any headphone from the Grado SR60s to the Sennheiser 600s. The Little is perfect for someone who doesn't have a headphone jack, or someone who wants to improve the sound of the headphone jack on their home equipment.
Discontinued 2005
Little Amp Manual (pdf)
Little More Power Source
The More Power is the power-supply upgrade for the Little HeadRoom. The Little More Power combo approaches the type of sound quality achieved with the Home unit. It offers tight bass, sweet mids, and good detail–we were shocked at the improvement.
Discontinued 2005
Little More Power Manual (pdf)
Base Station One Power Source
The Base Station One is perfect for use with your Supreme/Cosmic in a home environment. It is a very good power supply that will work wonders for your electronics. It is designed to supply +/- 15 volts regulated power to our Supreme and Cosmic amps.
Discontinued 2005
Supreme Amp
The Supreme is supreme at creating pleasant sound for the traveler. If your primary need is an amp for traveling, the Supreme is all the amp you'll need–plus it still fits in nice at home with a high-end system. The Supreme offers detailed, audiophile quality sound, plus it is forgiving of inadequacies, making it suitable for a wide range of portable players from mediocre to the best. This amp was powered with an external 'brick' power supply, which housed four D-cell batteries.
Discontinued 2005
Supreme Manual (pdf)
Cosmic Amp
In the same family as the Max and Maxed Out Home, the Cosmic is our best amp for portable use. The Cosmic takes full advantage of the premium module and highlights advances in other components, allowing it to be a fast, highly detailed, and articulate portable amp.
Discontinued 2005
Cosmic Manual (pdf)
Home Amp
The Home puts its money in components instead of cosmetics. It has an Avel-Lindberg toroidal transformer in the power-supply–very brawny. It has dual headphone jacks, but only one volume control–to achieve the same sound level when using two headphones, the headphones must be matched.
Discontinued 2005
Home Manual (pdf)
Maxed Out Home Amp
The Maxed Out Home looks like a Home and sounds comparable to the Max. The Maxed Out Home is a touch warmer sounding than the Max, and of course it is lacking in the cosmetic department, but overall it presents a sonic representation that is convincingly similar to the Max.
Discontinued 2005
Maxed Out Home Manual (pdf)
The Max Amp
The Max is our Home amp on hormones: Nobel pot, dual-mono power supply back to the shared Avel-Lindberg toroidal transformer, Burr-Brown 627 op-amps, dual- mono advanced HeadRoom modules, polyphenoline sulfide film capacitors, Neutrik headphone jacks, pseudo-Litz stranded circuit board traces.

Discontinued 2005
Generation II – "Mobile Line"
This was the second iteration of our plastic enclosure portable amps.
AirHead and Total AirHead
The AirHead is the smallest and lightest portable headphone amplifier and processor in our line. You will hear a wonderful improvement in a high-quality headphone's ability to resolve musical detail, deliver deep, tight bass and present a more natural audio image. The Total AirHead had all the same functionality as it's little brother, but better internal components provide enhanced sound quality.
Discontinued 2005

AirHead (Initial Run)
Our first prototype AirHead was released with 9 volt batteries and was in production for a very short period of time.
Wheatfield HA-1 Amp
Okay, these really aren't HeadRoom Amps. But we were the exclusive of these fine amps for a short period of time, so we thought we'd include them in our archive.A really nice little tube amp. Strikes an excellent balance between the characteristic tube sound and being dynamic and punchy. Better than it's big brother, the HA-2, for rock and contemporary studio recorded music.
Wheatfield HA-1 Manual (pdf)
Wheatfield HA-2 Amp
One of the things we really like to do is hook up this amp when we're listening to raspy old records and CD's badly recorded because this amp will sweeten just about anything. A true lush tube sound this amp is an old time audiophiles delight.
The Max Amp
One of the original flagship HeadRoom headphone amplifiers. The Max is our Home amp on hormones: Nobel pot, dual-mono power supply back to the shared Avel-Lindberg toroidal transformer, Burr-Brown 627 op-amps, dual-mono premium HeadRoom audio modules, polyphenoline sulfide film capacitors, Neutrik headphone jacks, pseudo-Litz stranded circuit board traces. The Max is also equipped with a pair of line-level RCA output output jacks which allows it to be used as a class A/B pre-amp.
Discontinued 1999
The Home Amp
The Home has an audiophile quality linear power supply that really lets the electronic module show its stuff.
Discontinued 1999
The Supreme (2nd Revision)
We think the Supreme will be around for a long, long time. Oh sure, it may go through a few changes; you'll be able to get it in different colors someday. The perfect partner at the office, assistant in the kitchen, or workmate in the shop.
Discontinued 1999
The Little
Think of the Little just like our Supreme amp, with all of the extra money taken out of it. The Little one uses exactly the same electronics module as the Supreme, but lacks the DC-to-DC Converter, battery holders, and enclosure needed to make the Supreme portable.
Discontinued 1999
The Static
The Static provided HeadRoom Crossfeed for listeners who owned electrostatic headphones, such as Stax.
Discontinued 1999
Our Very First Products - The Standard, Supreme, Premium & Jelly Bean Amp

The Standard is the best unit for general use. It is best for people who want quality sound and have good headphone, but don't want to be tied to wall socket for power.
The Premium Amp
The Premium is for people who appreciate the qualities found in Audiophile category equipment. If you will be using HeadRoom mostly home or in the office, and have very good headphones, this is the unit for you.
The Supreme Amp
The Supreme is for true Audiophiles. It uses the same electronics as the Premium but includes a switchable near-ear emphasis filter. It also uses very high quality capacitors and resistors on the main circuit board.
The Jelly Bean
The JellyBean includes a CD transport, de-jitter electronics, D-A, HeadRoom Home amp, and API AC filtering all in an Anvil air certified case. Each one is custom, so you can fit all kinds of stuff in it.
About HeadRoom Crossfeed
Headphones are actually capable of much more accurate sound than speakers on a performance-per-dollar basis. Why, then, don't people use headphones more extensively for high-end listening? The answer, we believe, is that there are some fundamentally unnatural things about the way you perceive the location of the sounds you hear on headphones, and that artificiality gets in the way of having a gratifying listening experience.
