Arguably the best-looking kamado around; good hinge system; dual-disc vent system means precise temperature control; versatile cooking with the flexible cooking rack and split heat deflector; great warranty.
Things To Love:
Kamado Joe is all about the spirit of innovation and passion for cooking outdoors, and it shows in their products. Their reputation allows customers to shop with peace of mind, knowing that the company is here to listen. For example, shortly after the Classic was introduced, customers asked the company to build one with a larger cooking surface. They listened, and the BigJoe was born. Customers asked for more versatile cooking, so they invented the "Divide and Conquer" flexible cooking rack and split deflector plate, allowing for simultaneous direct and indirect cooking, and smoking at three different levels. Kamado Joe strives for value and a reasonable price point but doesn't cut corners on quality. Their grills are visually striking, from the eye catching logo on the top vent down to the stainless steel bottom vent. The red color looks sharp, and you can choose either black or stainless steel bands, which is a nice accent. Kamado Joe's cart also has a great design and the powder-coated cast iron holds the grill securely.
All of the uncoated metal parts on the grill are made with 304 stainless steel, and most of the other metal parts are powder-coated cast iron. The hinge assembly is well-made, and we found the Kamado Joe to have one of the easiest-lifting lids among kamado brands.
Kamado Joe grills have two half stainless steel cooking grids that allow for cooking on different levels. We also like the top vent, which has a dial control, giving you finer control over the air flow. (Just like other kamados, you can also pivot the entire top vent to let the air flow wide open.) Another nice extra that Kamado Joe has is an included ash tool and cooking grate gripper. Most brands don't include these accessories and the ash tool really makes cleanup a whole lot easier. One nice addition to the BigJoe series is the included firebox separator which allows you to cook on only half of the grill for smaller meals.

Challenges activities are going down?
I am surprised of my observations of current Challenges activity.

I'd like to change the colour of the border on the NetworkBlogs widget in my sidebar, so it's the same grey as the sidebar widgets in used from the website theme (Chaotic Soul).
I've managed to change the background colour of the widget from white to black without any problem. I've tried using several different codes to change the border colour, but they don't appear to be recognised, and all appear as off white.
The full code for the widget is here: http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1997165
and this is my blog: http://fiddledidee.wordpress.com/
If it's possible, I'd also like to increase the size of the NetworkBlogs logo that appears at the top of the widget.
Many thanks.

The Baltic Exchange Ltd. entered into exclusive talks with the Singapore Exchange Ltd., following an "attractive" proposal from the Asian bourse.
The inland river port handled 180,328 tons of waterborne cargo in April, a 23 percent year-over-year increase, the port said.
Strong language is often needed to advocate for a position, but now that progress is being made on container weight verification, people should choose their words more carefully.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The 19 ocean carrier members of the Ocean Carrier Equipment Management Association are collaborating with six major East and Gulf coast ports to establish a common streamlined "Terminal Weighing Approach."
Ports that insist on "no doc/no gate" policies with regard to verified container weights could lose business, the company's export manager says.
Peter Friedmann accused container lines of bungling the International Maritime Organization's new container weight verification requirement, and said some now realize they face high internal costs unless they offer a more flexible approach.

In her first post for our Art + Soul department, local photographer and artist, Tiffany Teske, takes the opportunity to introduce herself. You may recognize a bit of yourself in the story of what drew Tiffany to the Bow Valley and the life she has discovered here. -Highline
"So, what do you think?" my husband asked me.
He had just been headhunted for the position of General Manager at Mount Norquay in Banff.
All I knew about Banff was that it was on the opposite side of the country, that it had "postcard" beauty, and that it boasted a lively party scene.
"Well," I said as I cuddled our six-month-old baby and looked around our year-old home in the picturesque Gatineau Hills, "You have always wanted to ski out West… now you can live there, too. Let's go!"
As my reaction suggests, I have always been a bit of a gypsy; gathering inspiration, formulating grand plans, and then going with the flow wherever life takes me. I have relocated many times in the past decade or so, living in four major cities, on two islands, and in two rural ski resort towns including Wakefield, QB, where we were living at the time my husband popped the "Banff" question.
As a professional photographer and artist, I believe I can find inspiration in anything, anywhere. So westward we went!
We drove from Calgary to the Bow Valley on a full-moon night in December, 2006. The beauty and grandeur of our new mountain home was apparent from the beginning. The history of this place, the spirit of her people, the close proximity of wildlife, the influx of tourists, and the cosmopolitan nature of the town all combine to create a culture where I am continually inspired and can artistically thrive.
All of my senses were awakened as I photographed the day-to-day details of a life in Banff: the shadows on the snow, the trees as they changed with the seasons, the birds in flight, the elk eating jack o lanterns, and the people and their impact on this place.
began to create mixed media work that was intimate, personal, and better than anything I had created before. I am not an adrenaline junkie in an outdoor sense, but I get an addictive buzz from creating art, forging friendships and becoming part of a community.
It has been the people, especially, that have made the greatest impression on our family. Many Bow Valley locals have wandering pasts like my own, so my community here has grown quickly. And I am always grateful to witness the joy on the faces of tourists as they see our mountains for the first time.
Our connection to this place is already strong and I can't imagine leaving. What a huge thing for a gypsy to say!

Ridge mesmerizing in Chamber Theatre's 'Underneath the Lintel'
Midway through his extraordinary solo performance in Glen Berger's "Underneath the Lintel" - being staged by the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre under C. Michael Wright's direction - James Ridge asks the audience whether we'd recognize a miracle if we saw one.
I know I've missed a few - "Lintel" suggests we all have - but I have no doubt I saw something akin to one Friday night, in watching as good a one-person show as I've seen anywhere in a long time. »Read Full Article(2)

When Ezhar A. got married, his father gave him just 30,000 Afghanis ($600). He was tired of farming, so he changed his business and immediately opened a small retail shop with 18,000 Afghanis and purchased some goods with the remainin money. At the beginning, Ezhar encountered some difficulties because he was new to this business and didn't have previous experience in shopkeeping. He didn't know how to find customers and increase his sales, but after a few months he got this skill and was finally able to purchase more retail goods for his shop.
Ezhar A. is not just a breadwinner for his own family, but he must provide some medicines for his sick parents and support his small brothers also.
Two months ago he completed a mobile phone repair private course, and then he decided to change his business and started a mobile repair and sales shop. He thinks that there is much demand for these things, but he needs some money to purchase enough equipment and different models of mobile phones. Thereford he has applied to AFSG for a 50,000 Afghanis loan for 18 months.
Ezhar dreams that if he able to increase his daily income from 400 Afghanis ($8) to 700 Afghanis ( $14), he will learn some English and computer skills. He sincerely thanks the lenders who assist poor people hard times and encourage them to work.

Oufff… I can't express how sorry I am we can't afford to hire a wedding planner. I really don't want to become too stressed up and turn to a bridezilla even before the wedding day! but HOPEFULLY this little program hire will reduce the stress to a minimum. I'm really counting on it.. I need it to work..

António`s flat is really good located and really nice. It was tidy and António and his mother helped us in everything, what we needed. They have a kitchen, where you can cook and have some nice conversations. They have excellent Coffee and tee, that you can use for free!!! We felt us really at home and we are so happy, to choose this flat!! I can just recommend it to everyone!!!
Thanks a lot!!
A very nice experience. The landlord is quite patient to introduce viewpoints in Lisbon and how to reach them. The room is big and clear enough. Every day, people come to do housekeeping. We lived in the house like friends that everyone is very friendly!
Antonio est sympathique, agréable et disponible pour nous aider en cas de question, ce qui aide quand on ne connaît pas la ville! Il est facile de se parquer gratuitement près de chez lui quand on est en voiture. Nous avons pris les transports publics au départ (assez coûteux si on n'achète pas une carte de transport valable 24h) mais le logement est bien placé pour rejoindre le bairro alto à pied par exemple. Il y a 2 pièces disponibles pour la douche et les toilettes qui sont très propres et bien aménagées. La chambre a une décoration atypique.
Bon accueil, notre hôte toujours présent pour répondre à nos questions, nous conseiller et nous aider.
Bonne expérience.
Habitación amplia, tranquila y a 20 minutos andando a la plaza del Comercio.
Al lado de restaurantes, bares y zona de fácil aparcamiento.
Los propietarios muy majos. Nos han ayudado en todo lo que hemos necesitado.
Séjour très réussi et agréable chez Antonio et sa famille. Aucune gène causée par d'autres personnes présentes. Nous avons été invités à diner (excellent) avec un autre couple de visiteurs.
Un endroit idéal pour visiter Lisbonne et être dehors toute la journée et rentrer dormir le soir.
Yes, this room has the charm of the sixties. All furniture looks like a poor unhappy man, standing in the fug of the years and less light gives you the sense of be lost in lissabon in a dark period, noise of old trams is cutting into your head, giving you the sense to be right now in the middle of the street and "no", you don´t want to open the leaky windows because of this. We must say, the welcome was friendly but this is not all. For the price of the room, we can expect to have a chance for sleep, to have clean toilets and no smoke around the corridor. The businessman of the guesthose was only a voice on the telefon and next morning we decided to leave and try to claim this unhappy room. The virtual man on the telefon decided to give no answer to our demand for giving back a part of the money. OK, let us hope, António takes the money to improve his moldy flat.
The room was in good condition. The location is ideal. Antonio and his mother were very nice and helpful
La chambre était en bon état. L'emplacement est idéal. Antonio et sa mère étaient gentils et très serviables
nice room with a pleasant view over the river Tagus area well-served by public transport-owner Mr. Antonio kind and friendly
camera bella con piacevole vista sul fiume tago-zona ben servita dai mezzi di trasporto-il proprietario sig.Antonio persona gentile e cordiale
Really good trip in lisboa. Antonio and his mother were really nice and at any moment they help you.
I really recommand them if you want to stay on lisboa.
The place is great and it´s near to shops, centers and monuments !

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/032,317 entitled INTEGRATED LED DRIVER FOR LED SOCKET filed Feb. 28, 2008.
The present invention is directed to electronic components, and more particularly to a universal socket assembly having an integral driver assembly for light emitting diodes (LEDs).
High intensity LEDs may be used for general-purpose illumination, and in specialty lighting applications such as architectural and video display applications. Some manufacturers design LED lighting assemblies that are customized for specific devices.
Since LEDs are current driven devices, most LEDs require a constant source of current to properly operate. A separate LED driver assembly is required to regulate a constant current to the LED. The LED driver assembly is a separate unit, which is mounted on the lighting fixture remote from the LED and then wired to the remote LED. The labor and hardware that are required for mounting and wiring an LED driver assembly can be a disadvantage in the manufacturing and installation of the LED lighting fixture. The labor and hardware required for mounting and wiring the fixture may also present an obstacle when designing an elegant, stream lined lighting fixture that incorporates the LED.
What is needed is a driver assembly that attaches integrally to a standard LED lighting socket, or LED pixel holder, for high-intensity LEDs, which driver assembly integrates electrical and thermal connections in a single receptacle. Other features and advantages will be made apparent from the present specification. The teachings disclosed extend to those embodiments that fall within the scope of the claims, regardless of whether they accomplish one or more of the aforementioned needs.
In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to an LED mounting assembly for a lighting fixture including a first substrate including one or more LEDs mounted thereon, and a plurality of contact pads in electrical communication with the LED. A contact carrier includes a plurality of integral electrical contact portions arranged about a perimeter of the contact carrier. The plurality of integral electrical contact portions correspond with the plurality of electrical contact pads of the first substrate. A second substrate includes electronic components configured to power the LED. The second substrate includes a first contact arrangement that engages the integral electrical contact portions of the contact carrier, and a second contact arrangement to engage external connections to the electronic components. A heat sink portion is retentively engageable in thermal communication with the contact carrier and the first substrate.
Additional embodiments are contemplated within the scope of the following detailed specification.
An advantage of the present invention is a printed circuit (PC) board assembly with a constant current driver circuit that is integrated directly into an LED pixel assembly.
Another advantage is a PC driver board that can be easily, quickly and integrally assembled into an LED pixel assembly, and does not require a solder or thermal adhesive connection to the LED pixel assembly.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following more detailed description of the preferred embodiment, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
Commonly assigned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/742,611, filed May 1, 2007, discloses an exemplary mounting assembly for supporting high intensity LEDs in a lighting fixture, for use with the integrated driver socket, and the same is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

The number of contacts 19 of LED PCB assembly 16 depends on the number of LEDs 28 that are mounted on LED PCB assembly 16. An LED PCB assembly 16 includes two contact pads 19 for an LED PCB assembly 16 with a single LED 28, and an LED PCB 16 assembly containing three LEDs 28 includes four contact pads 19, although various LED interconnections may be used. E.g., red, green, blue (RGB) LEDs include three LEDs, which share a common anode connection, such that four contact pads 19 are sufficient to power the three LEDs. The number of contacts 36 shown in the drawings is exemplary only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Contact carrier 13 may be inserted into a cavity 15 disposed at one end of heat sink 18. Contact carrier 13 fits into cavity 15 and makes thermal contact against LED PCB assembly 16 to maintain LED PCB assembly 16 in position within cavity 15. A locking ring 27 fits over contact carrier 13 and ratchets into place under a flange portion 11 to secure contact carrier 13 and an optional transparent lens (not shown). Locking ring 27 has an aperture 25 to allow light penetration. LED PCB assembly 16 is secured in position by the locking ring. Locking ring 27 urges contacts 36 against contact pads 19 for positive electrical contact and urges LED PCB assembly 16 into thermal contact with heat sink 18. Contact carrier 13 includes contacts 36 for mating with LED PCB contact pads 19. LED PCB 16 is maintained by locking ring 27 in thermal contact or communication with heat sink 18.
Referring next to
LED driver card 20 includes integrated circuits (not shown), which regulate various electrical and electronic parameters such as constant current and voltage applied to LED PCB 16. An external connector 21 is positioned adjacent a rear edge 49 of LED driver card 20. Receptacle portions 26 are positioned adjacent an opposite edge 51 of LED driver card 20. External connector 21 includes leads 35 that connect to printed circuit pads 41, e.g., by soldering, for interconnecting an external power source to internal trace conductors of LED driver card 20. External connector 21 may be a CT (common terminal) connector, such as manufactured by Tyco Electronics Co. of Middletown, Pa., or any suitable PCB connector. Electronic components commonly referred to in the electronics industry as surface mounted technology (SMT) components 23, 42 are mounted on LED driver card 20. SMT components 23, 42, contain driver integrated circuits and passive electronic components for powering and controlling LED PCB 16. SMT components 42, 23, fit inside the core aperture with sufficient clearance to avoid interference from an inner wall 52 when LED driver card 20 is inserted therein.
Receptacle portions 26 include spring arms 26 a at the leading edge for receiving contacts 36. Spring arms 26 a have opposing leaf portions 26 d that converge inwardly to a contact region 26 f (see, e.g.,

Well, it appears that one of the cables in my new rack is bad. Specifically, it looks like it's the one going to the "red" switch. It's not really surprising, I suppose, given the last minute rush to find color matched cables. What this means is that I've got to walk someone through replacing it remotely.
Having remote management ability is important. Whether it's IP KVMs (we've got that), or the ability to perform web/ssh/telnet/rdp (we've got all those too), there's literally only so much you can do when you're not at the site, and that's frustrating. I'm 400 miles away; I can't just hop on over and change out a cable, and the timetable for us getting our stuff turned on precludes anything except using the remote hands service of the colocation.
I know most of us have a single location for our IT stuff, and it's usually in the same building we do work in. Heck, at the ISP, my office was /in/ the server room. Bad for the ears, but I could hear when things like hard drives were dying. Pinpointing an exact location was a little harder, since almost none of the hard drives were hot-swappable.
Anyway, at this point, I'm extremely glad we have support at the colocation. If you decide to move into a colo, I highly recommend getting one with remote hands.

Southwestern Historical Quarterly
the last twenty years. Writers have debated whether the Whigs were a class
party, a party based on regional prosperity, or merely another collection of
politicians seeking votes and public office. Although historians will probably
never reach total agreement on these questions, their main hope for any
kind of consensus at all is that hard-working scholars, with the major inter-
pretations in mind, examine the Whig party on the local and state level in
great detail. Exhaustive research in state and local sources by historians
who have studied the historiographical debate on the Whigs should at least
enable them to eliminate the more unlikely theories about the Whigs and
thus deepen our understanding on the Whig party.
Adams's book on the Louisiana Whigs takes us a short distance down this
road. The book describes the origin of the state's Whig party and follows it
through the dozens of state and national elections between I834 and I853-
Louisiana Whigs, like their northern counterparts, supported a protective
tariff, a national bank system, and federal aid to internal improvements.
Sugar planters demanded protection from Caribbean competition, bayous
and rivers needed dredging and levees, and New Orleans businessmen re-
quired sound money and banks. For roughly a decade the Whigs controlled
Louisiana government, but in the mid-I840s, for a variety of reasons, their
power began slipping away until the party disintegrated in the early I850s.
Adams's book is fine as far as it goes. And there is the problem-it does
not go far enough. The only interpretive question it fully expands upon is
Charles Sellers's contention that southern Whigs had the same goals as
northern Whigs. One sentence in the introduction claims that Louisiana
Whigs were not a class party, but nowhere does the author demonstrate this
in any detail. Nor is there any full description of rank and file Whig party
membership, only general statements here and there. Moreover, Adams
cites only two sources published since I957, and both appeared in I959.
While this book does not fully answer many of the current questions about
Middle Period politics in general or the Whig party in particular, it is clear-
ly written and serves as a useful guide to Louisiana politics from 183o to

2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulNovember 09, 2013Reviewer: Jennifer in IowaI just bought a bag of the Perfectly Plain Kale Krunch and it is great! I've been looking for a low carb crunchy, salty snack besides pork rinds and I've finally found it. I like both the flavor and texture. Unfortunately the other flavors are higher carb so I don't think I'll be trying them, but I am very glad to have found the the Perfectly Plain variety. Nutrition for this product is great too - a bonus.This review is specific to Kale Krunch, Perfectly Plain
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 07, 2014Reviewer: A customer in WashingtonI like almost all of the flavors (except the Chockalet Chip, which just tasted kinda gross, imho), but I absolutely adore the Hibiscus and Pink Peppercorn flavor. It reminds me of Cheez-It crackers, even though it's not a cheese flavor (weird, I know). These make a really healthy and delicious alternative to chips and other junk snacks. I wish they were just a bit cheaper, but all in all, I think they're awesome.
August 15, 2014Reviewer: Roslyn in FloridaI absolutely love the Tarragon Dijon flavor of these Kale Chips. They are my favorite out of all the diff flavors. I've introduced Alive & Radiant Kale Chips to a few skeptical friends and they were converted. I had considered them an acquired taste but my friends like the flavor too. Delicious & healthy!This review is specific to Kale Krunch, Tarragon Dijon
April 19, 2014Reviewer: Merin in TexasA more than satisfactory alternative to potato chips.This review is specific to Kale Krunch, Quite Cheezy
February 18, 2014Reviewer: Dion in New YorkTried all but 1(hibiscus) and all are delicious. I was amazed at how great the chocolate 1 tasted. Very good stuff & its a veggie. lol
October 05, 2013Reviewer: Stan in GeorgiaI love these chips, they are quite tasty. Very complex flavors and the aftertaste is wonderful.....I have only tried the ranch and cheezy chipotle and they are great; and now I am ordering all the other flavors...and this is a very good price.
September 17, 2013Reviewer: Katherine in WashingtonI can't understand the low ratings for these!!! We are addicted to the cheese flavor. We are not the only ones; the health food store near our house is always wiped out of the cheese flavor and charges 70 cents more per bag than Netrition!!! I am tired of competing with my neighbors to get the quite cheezy flavor.This review is specific to Kale Krunch, Quite Cheezy

Perhaps by putting forward his "Intelligent Falling" theory, he can explain how the miles of detcord and kilos of explosives were somehow missed by all those people going about their business in the WTC prior to the events of 9/11. Maybe all of the survivors are in on the plot? Maybe the government terrorists were made invisible by angels?
Structural analyses and fireproofing problems are so prosaic compared to cloak & dagger conspiracy theories, but William of Occam finds them a touch more plausible.

Another theologian from the 60s who protested against "the establishment" then and desperately seeking to be established now?
Our church is full of them. They are wailing and gnashing their teeth because they are reaching retirement age. Social Security isn't enough. The government isn't doing enough to prop up failing pension funds.
They are beginning to emerge from the purple haze. They're propping up the bank balances through lectures and book sales. They don't pay much in taxes because they're "religious organizations".

Theologians with guitars - to that I say the only purpose for a guitar in Church is to be used as kindling for the church-fireplace.

the team i would like lfc to use.
Don't really disagree with this one as I think its one of our strongest options, but just a bit surprised that you and Fergie have both opted for Stevie in the support striker role rather than sitting in the center. Think that is a change in opinion, is it because of the relative riches in center midfield, or a preference to Gerrard over Cole for that role? Also, assuming that Pacheco does get some time in the domestic cups, and off the bench in the league, is he a direct replacement for Gerrard, or do we have to switch up the system everytime he comes on with players shifting roles?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

We now have Meireles so we don't need Gerrard back in that position. The reason I wanted Gerrard back there last season and the beginning of this season was simply down to having no one of the ability and quality that Gerrard can bring to that particular role.
Meireles should and will provide that oh so important link between defence and attack. Gerrard should and will be behind Torres and Cole out wide will be more beneficial to the starting eleven IMO he's got the ability to beat a man, whip in some telling crosses and also knows how to hug the byline something that none of the other widemen unfortunately do. Whether this is the team that Roy wants assembled as it is that's a different matter.

I think the midfielders have to operate similarly to chelsea's. I'm sure that the best position for Gerrard is the most attacking one of the 3 in the middle, the one that Lampard plays for chelsea.
I just think Stevie is far stronger in that position that cole and as you say, our centre midfield is pretty full. Stevie always looks like he can get you a goal when he is further up the pitch. If he is played in the centre he ends up running everywhere. I would like to see Pacheco getting some time playing behind the striker during Euro or league cups. I dont think the system should change though (whatever that maybe). The players must get used to it and if that makes us weaker for the cups than so be it as 4th place minimum must be a priority.

Johnson, Carra, Agger, Aurelio
---------Meireles, Gerrard----------
Maxi (Pacheco)---------------Cole
Really like the look of this. Poulsen holding, Meireles box-to-box and Stevie attacking. Cole and Maxi or Pacheco supporting Torres from out wide. Even Babel would be better in a wide forward role.

THIS STUDY HAS revealed both consistencies and contradictions in Glenn Gould's work and thought, and it was, of course, the sum of these conMany conclusions about his achievement are possible, but he cannot be assigned to any one intellectual stream or school of performance: he was too eclectic. One source of his eclecticism was surely the relative insularity of his upbringing: his provincialism, amply documented in the biographical literature, certainly helps explain both the strengths and weaknesses, the originality and the banality, in his thinking. From the beginning of his musical life, he obviously felt less pressure to conform to mainstream conventions than do more cosmopolitan musicians moulded by peer pressure, the conservatory system, and the competition circuit. Throughout his career, he proved to be unusually open to ideas and practices from a wide range of sources, some of them seemingly conflicting, and he was always willing to let non-musical ideas directly influence his playing. His work reveals an idiosyncratic union of many aesthetic ideas and styles; Romanticism, early modernism, neo-Classicism, post- modernism, even aspects of pre-Enlightenment thought, have all been cited, in different contexts, in this book. But no one 'ism' suffices to characterize him, and he never felt the need to conform consistently to any one aesthetic school. (The Romantics' insistence on creative interpretation but not their devotion to instrumental sonority; the modernists' structuralism but not their teleological view of history; the neo-Classicists' orderliness but not their claims to objectivity.) Yet the final result of Gould's eclecticism was not chaos, but rather a peculiar and coherent synthesis that defined his aesthetic.
We have seen that he was decisively influenced by many precepts of such modernist traditions as structuralism and formalism, especially as applied to music by Schoenberg and his disciples. The idealist, analytical, and contrapuntal orientations of his thinking about music; his privileging of structure over sonority, of unity over variety, of the 'thematic' over the 'ornamental'; his fondness for 'logical' procedures like fugue and developing variation; his acceptance of (indeed, snobbishness about) the Austro-German canon of absolute music; his desire to convey a work in performance as an integral 'idea' or Gestalt--all were clearly influenced by the Schoenberg aesthetic. Yet in many ways the distinctive piano style that he developed had as much in common with the neo-Classicism of Stravinsky as with Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern, who as composers and performers never rejected

Back in style
But I don't know life will get better
I am sure they know
Sooner or later it shows, I know
That's how it goes
It's funny to see how easy life can be
Just sit back and smile

Microsoft to Announce New Windows 10 Devices
Subject: Systems | October 5, 2015 - 09:16 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: microsoft, windows 10, surface, Surface Pro, surface pro 4, hp, Lenovo, dell, asus, acer, toshiba
Tomorrow at 10 am ET, Microsoft will host a live stream to announce "new Windows 10 devices from Microsoft". It's pretty obvious that we'll get at least one new Surface device announced, which rumors suggest will be the Surface Pro 4 with a low-bezel, 13-inch display. W4pHub, via VR-Zone, goes a bit further to claim that the display can shrink to 12 inches when in tablet mode, giving a frame for the user to hold. If true, I wonder how applications will handle the shift in resolution. Perhaps the only problem is a little flicker, which will be hidden by the rest of Continuum's transition?

The Microsoft Blog post also lists the announcement dates of their partners. Here's the rundown:
- October 7th -- HP
- October 8th -- Dell
- October 9th -- ASUS
- October 12th -- Acer
- October 13th -- Toshiba
- October 19th -- Lenovo
While the rush of Windows 10 devices have missed the Back to School season, despite Microsoft's attempts to rush development with a July release, it looks like we might get a good amount of them for the holiday season. I was a bit worried, seeing how slowly Threshold 2 seems to be advancing, but they seem to have convinced OEMs to make a big deal out of it.
Then again, it could be holiday fever.
Dell UltraSharp UP3216Q: 31.5-inch 4K Monitor with 99.5% Adobe RGB
Subject: Displays | October 4, 2015 - 01:12 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: UP3216Q, ultrasharp, UHD, monitor, ips, HDMI 2.0, display, dell, calibration, Adobe RGB, 4k
While not officially launched in the U.S. just yet, on Thursday Tom's Hardware reported news of a trio of upcoming UltraSharp monitors from Dell, the largest of which - the UP3216Q - I was able to locate on Dell's Bermuda site.
For anyone looking for a 4K display for photo or video editing (or any other color critical work) the new Dell UltraSharp UP3216Q looks like a great - and likely very pricey - option. Just how much are we talking? The existing 31.5-inch 4K UP3214Q carries a $1999 MSRP (though it sells for $1879 on Dell's site). For this kind of money there are probably those who will never consider a 16:9 option (or ever give up their 16:10 30-inch displays), but the specifications of this new UP3216Q are impressive:
- Diagonal Viewing Size: 31.5 inch
- Aspect Ratio: Widescreen (16:9)
- Panel Type, Surface: In-Plane Switching
- Optimal resolution: 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz
- Active Display Area (H x V): 273,996 sq-mm (424.7 sq-inches)
- Contrast Ratio: 1000 to 1 (typical), 2 Million to 1 (dynamic)
- Brightness: 300 cd/m2 (typical)
- Response Time: 6ms fast mode . GTG
- Viewing Angle: 178° vertical / 178° horizontal
- Adjustability: Tilt, Swivel, Height Adjust
- Color Support: 1.07 billion colors
- Pixel Pitch: 0.182 mm
- Backlight Technology: LED light bar system
- Display Screen Coating: Anti-Glare with 3H hardness
- Connectivity: DP, mDP, HDMI (MHL), 4 x USB3 with one charging port, 1 x USB3 upstream, Media Card Reader
With the 60 Hz 4K (UHD) IPS panel offering full sRGB and 99.5% Adobe RGB, and a factory calibration that promises to be factory color calibrated with a deltaE of less than 2, the UP3214Q sounds pretty much ready to go out of the box. However for those inclined to strive for a more perfect calibration Dell is offering an X-Rite i1Display Pro colorimeter as an optional accessory, providing their own Dell UltraSharp Color Calibration Solution software.
A couple of points of interest with this monitor, while it offers DisplayPort and mini-DP inputs it also supports 4K 60 Hz via HDMI 2.0. Color support is also listed as 1.07 billion colors, but it's not specified whether this indicates a 10-bit panel or if they are implementing 10-bit color processing with an 8-bit panel - though if it's in the $2k price range it would probably safe to assume this is a 10-bit panel. Lastly, in keeping with the UltraSharp branding the monitor will also carry Dell's Premium Panel Guarantee and 3-Year Advanced Exchange Service warranty.

Dell XPS 12 Might Be a Surface Pro Alternative
Subject: Systems | September 14, 2015 - 11:01 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: xps 12, thunderbolt 3, Surface Pro, dell
So Microsoft got a form factor right when they designed the Surface and Surface Pro tablets. The concept is basically a tablet with a kickstand that can be attached magnetically to a keyboard at the bottom. We are seeing a few OEMs do their own versions, although some question whether it is imitation or a license from Microsoft.
Image Credit: Giga
One such device is the Dell XPS 12, and it has some fairly interesting components according to a leak from Giga. This tablet has a 4K screen with 400 nits of brightness, which is useful for outdoor viewing. It is supposedly compatible with the Dell Active Stylus. This pen apparently has good reviews, but it takes AAAA batteries (not a typo). They might be difficult to find when you need them once every two to three months. The keyboard is backlit, but I'm not sure if it can be used as a cover.
The most interesting addition is Thunderbolt 3, though. The standard uses the USB Type-C connector and supports 40 Gbps along with several other features. We don't know what processor it will use, but Skylake seems likely even though it's not required for Thunderbolt 3. It would seem silly to have new technology paired with older processors though, unless they had a surplus of something.
The Dell XPS 12 is rumored to launch in October, but nothing official and no pricing yet.
Dell 27-inch S2716DG Gaming Monitor Announced with NVIDIA G-Sync
Subject: Displays | August 28, 2015 - 02:02 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: wqhd, TN, S2716DG, gaming monitor, G-Sync Gen II, g-sync, dell, 27-inch, 2560x1440
Dell announced a new 27-inch WQHD gaming monitor yesterday, and while the 2560x1440 resolution and TN panel are nothing new the real story is
the inclusion of NVIDIA G-Sync Gen II that there was a typo in the release.
Dell provides these details about the S2716DG monitor:
- Nvidia's G-Sync Gen II support feature synchronizes GPU and monitor to minimize graphic distortions and screen tearing
- Quad HD resolution of 2560 x 1440 with close to 2 times more onscreen details than Full HD
- A full range of adjustability features, like tilt, pivot, swivel and height-adjustable stand allow for long hours of comfortable gameplay
- A wide range of connectivity features, including DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4, four USB 3.0 ports, USB 3.0 upstream, Audio line-out & Headphone-out
- 144 Hz maximum refresh rate and 1ms response time
Pricing is listed as $799 and the S2716DG will be available October 20.
UPDATE: Looking at the Dell announcement page, the company links to a Quadro PDF using a technology called G-Sync II. The problem is that technology was releaesd in 2011 and served a very different purpose than the G-Sync we use for gaming monitors today. We always knew that re-using that name would haunt NVIDIA in some ways...this is one of them. So, that means that Dell's reference to a second generation of G-Sync here is simply a typo, or the naming scheme is correct but the writer of the press release linked to something unrelated.
It is possible that a new version of the G-Sync module is on its way with updated features and possibly support over other display outputs, but I haven't heard anything official as of yet. I'll keep digging!
UPDATE 2: Just confirmed with Dell, this was a typo! The S2176DG "was incorrectly listed as "G-Sync Gen II" and the accurate name of the technology is NVIDIA® G-SYNC™." There you have it. False alarm!
The Dell Venue 10 7000 Series tablet features a stunning 10.5" OLED screen and is designed to mate perfectly with the optional keyboard. So how does it perform as both a laptop and a tablet? Read on for the full review!
To begin with I will simply say the keyboard should not be an optional accessory. There, I've said it. As I used the Venue 10 7000, which arrived bundled with the keyboard, I was instantly excited about this design. The Venue 10 is a device that is as remarkable for its incredible screen as much as any other feature, but once coupled with the magnetically attached keyboard becomes something more - and quite different than existing implementations of the transforming tablet. More than a simple accessory the keyboard felt like it was really a part of the device when connected, and made it feel like a real laptop.
I'm getting way ahead of myself here so let's go back to the beginning, and back to a world where one might consider purchasing this tablet by itself. At $499 for the 16GB model you might reasonably ask how it compares to the identically-priced Apple iPad Air 2. Well, most of the comparison is going to be software/app related as the Venue 10 7000 is running Android 5.1 Lollipop, and of course the iPad runs iOS. The biggest difference between these tablets (besides the keyboard integration) becomes the 10.5-inch, 2560x1600 OLED screen, and oh what a screen it is!

The Core M powered Dell Venue 11 Pro 7140 Convertible
Subject: Mobile | May 1, 2015 - 06:26 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: dell, Venue 11 Pro 7140, convertible tablet, Windows 8.1
The new Dell Venue 11 Pro is a tablet with a 10.8" touchscreen with 10 point capacitive touch displaying at a 1080p resolution powered by the Intel HD5300 present on the CoreM 5Y71 processor. That processor has a base frequency of 1.2GHz and a much more impressive maximum boost of 2.9GHz, offering both power savings and powerful performance depending on the needs of the application you are using. 8GB of DDR3-1600MHz will help you use many applications and the 256GB SSD is a nice touch for those who prefer to have most of their software and data stored locally.
Check out the camera, ports and other specifics in Mad Shrimps review, they didn't review the dock/keyboard but there are two models available; the less expensive Slim model and the Mobile version.
"If you are looking for a professional looking convertible with the latest available low power consumption Intel Core M processor which is paired with 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD and comes with a fully-fledged Windows 8.1 Pro operating system, then look no further, your answer is here!"

Tagged: usb type-c, usb 3.1, dell, asus
DigiTimes has seen evidence that non-Apple fanatics will have a chance to get their hands on USB 3.1 Type C connectors in the near future. Dell will be releasing a Windows 10 powered, 11" LCD Venue 11 Pro in the fall which will sport Type-C connectors for the new USB standard. ASUS will also be releasing gaming laptops with Type-C connectors this year as well although we do not have a specific date nor do we know when they will be included on less expensive models. If you are wondering when we will start to see USB 3.1 devices on the market you can check the list that ASUS provided The Tech Report here.
"After Apple's adoption of the USB Type-C port on its 12-inch MacBook, Dell also recently announced to use the technology for its 11-inch tablet and Asustek Computer is planning to launch gaming notebooks with USB Type-C support in the second half at the earliest, according to a Chinese-language Apply Daily report."

The perfect laptop; it is every manufacturer's goal. Obviously no one has gotten there yet (or we would have all stopped writing reviews of them). At CES this past January, we got our first glimpse of a new flagship Ultrabook from Dell: the XPS 13. It got immediate attention for some of the physical characteristics it included, like an ultra-thin bezel and a 13-in screen in the body of a typical 11-in laptop, all while being built in a sleek thin and light design. It's not a gaming machine, despite what you might remember from the XPS line, but the Intel Core-series Broadwell-U processor keeps performance speedy in standard computing tasks.
As a frequent traveler that tends to err on the side of thin and light designs, as opposed to high performance notebooks with discrete graphics, the Dell XPS 13 is immediately compelling on a personal level as well. I have long been known as a fan of what Lenovo builds for this space, trusting my work machine requirements to the ThinkPad line for years and year. Dell's new XPS 13 is a strong contender to take away that top spot for me and perhaps force me down the path of an upgrade of my own. So, you might consider this review as my personal thesis on the viability of said change.
The Dell XPS 13 Specifications
First, make sure as you hunt around the web for information on the XPS 13 that you are focusing on the new 2015 model. Much like we see from Apple, Dell reuses model names and that can cause confusion unless you know what specifications to look for or exactly what sub-model you need. Trust me, the new XPS 13 is much better than anything that existed before.

Fron the Orlando Sentinel....
Negotiators for Walt Disney World and its largest labor group struck a deal Friday afternoon on a new proposed contract, ending a months-long stalemate, after the resort sweetened bonuses for some workers.
The revised offer will now head to a vote before the full membership of the Service Trades Council, which represents more than 20,000 full-time workers at Disney World. The vote is scheduled for Feb 25.
It will be the second contract vote for workers, who rejected Disney's first offer in October.
"I'm very pleased we were able, after all this time, to finally reach an agreement that allows people to have another chance to vote," Service Trades Council president Harris Raynor said.
The proposed contract is largely similar to the one workers voted down in the fall. It calls for $550 bonuses for all full-time workers and, for those not already at the top of their pay scales, annual raises of between 3 percent and 4 percent over three years.
But during meetings with a federal mediator Friday the third such session between Disney and union leaders the resort agreed to reinstate an extra $100 bonus it had initially agreed to pay only if workers had approved the contract on the first vote.
In addition, the resort agreed to pay another $100 to all full-time employees who make $8.50 an hour or less.
"We appreciate the assistance of federal mediator Hank Groton in helping us reach a good and fair contract for our cast members," said Steve Eisenhardt, vice president of labor relations for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. "Both sides worked hard, and we are pleased we could find common ground."
Support for the revamped deal isn't unanimous, however.
The leadership of two of the six unions that make up the Service Trades Council Unite Here! Local 362 and United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1625 voted Friday to oppose the latest agreement.
They argue that the raises are not equitably distributed, as workers in many job categories will get only the minimum 3 percent raises each year. They also say the size of the raises isn't enough to offset rising health-care premiums, particularly for workers on family-coverage health insurance.
"Some workers with family health insurance will be making less money at the end of the contract than they do today," said Eric Clinton, president of the Unite Here! local, which represents attractions workers, custodians and ticket sellers, among others.

Solution Overview
Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2006-2013 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2006-2013 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis :
The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.
Description :
Richard Harms discovered that cpio did not sufficiently validate file
properties when creating archives. Files with e. g. a very large size
caused a buffer overflow. By tricking a user or an automatic backup
system into putting a specially crafted file into a cpio archive, a
local attacker could probably exploit this to execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the target user (which is likely root in an
automatic backup system).
Solution :
Update the affected cpio package.
Risk factor :
Low / CVSS Base Score : 3.7
Family: Ubuntu Local Security Checks
