Postgame Notes
March 7, 2014
Texas Tech extended its winning streak to five games with a pair of wins Thursday, marking its longest winning streak this season. The Red Raiders had previously won four-consecutive games twice already this season.
Texas Tech's five-game winning streak marks its longest since winning 10-straight a year ago from March 9-16.
Texas Tech defeated both UT Arlington and Northern Colorado for the second time this season as the Red Raiders topped UTA, 4-1, on Feb. 20, and Northern Colorado, 14-6, in six innings on Feb. 14.
The tournament opening victory improved Texas Tech to 10-4 all-time against UT Arlington and 5-1 in games played in Lubbock. Tech head coach Shanon Hays is now a perfect 7-0 against the Mavericks during his tenure.
The Red Raiders also improved to 5-1 all-time against Northern Colorado. It was just the second time that the Bears have traveled to face the Red Raiders in Lubbock as Tech previously took an 8-7 victory on March 3 last year.
Texas Tech recorded three triples against UT Arlington, matching the school record that was previously set on March 27, 1997, against Eastern New Mexico and Feb. 18, 2011, against Utah Valley.
Texas Tech had four triples in the two games, giving the Red Raiders eight now on the year, their most in a season already since connecting on 13 in 2011.
Texas Tech scored in the opening inning for the 10th time this season against UT Arlington. The Red Raiders are now 9-1 in those games this season and 96-20 all-time under Shanon Hays.
Northern Colorado was just the sixth opponent this year to score before the Red Raiders and the first to plate a runner in the opening inning. Texas Tech is now 2-4 this year when its opponent scores first and 36-61 all-time under Shanon Hays.
Texas Tech held both UTA and Northern Colorado to one run, marking the 10th and 11th time this season where the Red Raider pitching staff has surrendered two or less runs. Tech is now 9-2 in those games this year.
Texas Tech matched its season high with four stolen bases against UT Arlington. The Red Raiders previously swiped four bases in their most previous game which came last Saturday against Sam Houston State.

Men's Basketball Downs Detroit, 77-74
Jan 18, 2003
Detroit, Mich. - UIC notched just its second win all-time in Calihan Hall, and first since 1997, with a 77-74 win at Detroit on Saturday afternoon.
Junior Cedrick Banks led the Flames (10-4, 4-1) with a game-high 24 points and nine rebounds while fellow junior Martell Bailey added 16 points and nine assists. UIC also got a great contribution off the bench from senior Kyle Kickert, who snagged a career-high 10 rebounds to go along with four points.
The Titans (7-8, 2-4) were led by Willie Green's 23 points. William Wallace added 16 for Detroit.
It was a nip-and-tuck battle the final 13 minutes of the game on Saturday as the two teams were never separated by more than five points during the stretch.
With the Flames leading by one, Bailey split a pair of free throws with 22 seconds left to give the Flames a 75-74 lead. Titan senior Willie Green then missed a short jumper on their next possesion. Banks came away with the rebound and streaked down the court, passing the ball to Carr who was fouled with one second left.
Carr sank both free throws for the final margin, as Detroit could not get a shot off in the final second.
Free throws proved to be a critical difference in Saturday's game as UIC was 14-of-16 from the stripe while Detroit converted just 10 of its 16 attempts.
The Flames held a 44-36 halftime lead after a strong first period which saw them shoot 52% from the field while committing just three turnovers. UIC's biggest lead in the game was 11.
The Flames, who have won three straight games and eight of their last 10, will be back in action on Wedensday as the host Loyola in the much-anticipated rematch of the 2002 Horizon League Tournament title game. Tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m. at the UIC Pavilion.

Cloud Manifestos, Open Standards and Pockets
By user804106 on Mar 30, 2009
Amid the requisite dose of controversy, leaks, and hypocrisy in order to make a bit of a splash, the Cloud Computing Manifesto was launched today. The aim seems to be to lay down the law of the clouds. Is this wise? Maybe.
Cloud computing clearly opens a range of new opportunities for innovation, efficiencies and collaboration. The upside is that cloud computing is enabled by grids of computing power that interconnect. Cloud based products and technologies make the enterprise IT infrastructure elastic so that it can grow incrementally without any theoretical upper limit, as well as provide the flexibility to move resources around in order to meet dynamic business priorities. In fact, you can requisition compute power, storage, and other services–gaining access to a suite of elastic IT infrastructure services as your business demands them.
There is one caveat: the challenges for openness and standardization of this new, emerging Internet platform must be met. In fact, cloud computing is only possible because of the open, interoperable and collaborative way in which the Internet has grown. This seems obvious, but is easily forgotten, but only at our own peril.
The Manifesto says:
Cloud providers must use and adopt existing standards wherever appropriate. The IT industry has invested heavily in existing standards and standards organizations; there is no need to duplicate or reinvent them.
So, maybe the Manifesto actually says: use the established standards route, and do it sooner rather than later. This would be good news, also for Michael Armbrust et al., whose recent article 'Above the Clouds: A Berkeley View of Cloud Computing', also worries that non-standard APIs will lead to lock-in. But open APIs are usually not standards, and are not typically governed by an open standards process. This is the real challenge of Web 2.0 style applications that currently check the "open" box by disclosing APIs. This only results in customers following a hub-and-spoke model where there are none of the protections of real open standards, such as choice, control, and transparency.
The key aspect of openness in computer software is open standards. If the Cloud Computing Manifesto leads to more commitment around the need to develop open standards in web-based computing—in the cloud or outside the cloud in the boring old Internet—that is a good thing. However, given the current hype around cloud computing, it might be useful to point out that Cloud Computing simply is a new computing trend towards a web-based computing environment.
As an industry, if we want to enable customers to change their deployment decisions without requiring the customer to change the application, there is no way around open standards. Openness, interoperability and collaboration should be the guiding principles for the development of cloud computing, as it has been for the Internet so far. Hence, global standardization efforts should be a key priority in cloud computing. While scattered discussion forums exist, the Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum and The Open Cloud Consortium being cases in point, the joined-up efforts where all major players and views can come together has yet to appear. Can good old fora/consortia like W3C and OASIS do the job? Let's have the debate!
Cloud Computing Manifesto aside, let's roll up our sleeves and standardize before the window of opportunity shuts down. Rather than being an obstacle to nascent markets, open standards are prerequisites for software innovation. Open standards create the platform upon which sustainable innovation can occur through network effects. I would not want to be stuck in somebody's cloud any more than I would want to be stuck deep in somebody's pockets. When I think about Heaven, I have always pictured myself on top of the clouds, not inside them.

Bat spleen

Bat spleen is the spleen of a bat. In 1991, on Harry Potters first trip to Diagon Alley he saw a barrel of bat spleens in a shop window. A jar of them was seen on the floor of the First-Floor Girls' Toilets during the troll attack that same year. They are also used in potion-making, and are taught about in sixth year Potions classes. Professor Snape kept a jar of them in his office, and Professor Slughorn briefly mentioned bat spleen as an ingredient in the Draught of Living Death.

19 Apr Russia's Frolov victorious in Men's Final at World Cup #3
It was a perfect day for Russian star Ilia Frolov with the 30-year-old showing his quality and speed to take gold in the Men's World Cup #3 Final at the state of the art facilities of the Pierre de Coubertin Modern Pentathlon Stadium in Chengdu. Quietly efficient throughout the competition, after coming joint first in the fence, it was his stunning performance in the combined that made the difference as he clinched an impressive victory.
The pentathletes had got the action underway on the fencing pistes with Frolov making his mark early on. His experience, skills with the epee and quickness of thought saw him dominate on his way to sharing top spot with Hungary's Robert Kasza, each having won 25 bouts. Frolov and Kasza would be two of star performers in what was a fascinating Final.
In the second discipline of the day, the 200m freestyle swim, a time of 2:08.40 gave Frolov 315 points. A good ride around the tricky course then put him back in contention for honours as he moved up to sixth overall in the general classification.
Before the run/shoot, Egypt's Amro El Geziry was out front but in the combined Frolov really turned on the style, shooting with great accuracy and seemingly gliding round the course effortlessly, overtaking five of his rivals on his way to a sumptuous gold.
Kasza, who had been brilliant all day, having come third in the pool after clocking 2:00.95 and placing 11th in the ride, had begun the combined in second place. He however could not match Frolov for speed in the final few moments as the Russian crossed the finish tape first. The silver sure put a smile on Kasza's face, the Hungarian was out of action for a good portion of last season and this medal confirms his return to full fitness and hungry for success.
Bronze went to Jianli Guo as the crowd celebrated a well-deserved medal for the home nation. Guo was a model of consistency throughout the day with two fifth places finishes in the fence and swim, and a ninth place in the ride putting him third overall at the start the combined. The Chinese impressed in his last competitions and this medal was just reward for some of the displays already this year.
El Geziry was unlucky to miss out on a podium finish in Chengdu. After winning the swim with a sub-2min time, a classy ride gave the Egyptian a total of 297 points to start the combined in pole. Although he showed improvement in his shooting from previous performances, El Geziry could not maintain his advantage and ended his day fourth.
There were two Hungarians in the top five at the end of competition as Bence Demeter, son of 89 European Champion Jozsef, finished just behind El Geziry. Russia's Aleksander Lesun was sixth overall as World No.1 Justinas Kinderis, who struggled in the equestrian event but put in a great time in the combined, came seventh. Korean duo Woojin Lee and Woongtae Jun were 8th and 9th respectively as Egypt's Yasser Hefny finished tenth.
London 2012 silver medallist Zhaohong Cai from China was 12th overall and was the only athlete in the Final to record a perfect ride and collect 300 points in that discipline. His compatriot Jiahao Han, the second fastest swimmer, came in 16th. Mexico's Manuel Padilla, victorious in his qualification group, was the quickest around the combined but having started so far behind the leaders ended his campaign in 27th position.

Google accepts final shipment of Nexus One smartphones
The end of the road
SMARTPHONE UPSTART Google announced that it took delivery of the final shipment of Nexus One devices last week.
Launched in January, the Nexus One was the device that brought Google's Linux based Android operating system into the public eye. Despite the largely positive press it received at launch, Google's direct sales strategy ensured that the Nexus One never sold to its potential.
The company had announced previously that it would be pulling out of selling the device directly, though didn't give a timeframe. It looks like once it sells out of the phones, the only way to get your hands on one will be through Vodafone in the UK. As the Nexus One represents the only surefire way to get the latest version of Android, which is vital for developers, Google said it will be holding back units and flogging them to developers.
Although the Nexus One never fulfilled its sales potential, it still remains one of the best smartphones on the market. Google has repeatedly ensured that the Nexus One receives updates to the Android operating system first, and its insistence to use it as the developer's reference device should secure the availability of future software updates.
So as Google bids farewell to the device that kick-started interest in Android, we salute the Nexus One for showing the world what can be done with an open source mobile operating system. µ

|Alex Massie on Spectator blogs writes an excellent piece titled 'Ground Zero Mosque: Another moment of truth for open society' in which he untangles frenzied arguments and much of the prejudice underlying the debate about the construction of a mosque at ground zero (New York) and also perceptions about British Muslims.
Massie writes:
'Are the muslims you work with or play cricket with all would-be jihadis? Of course not. Is the muslim running your local corner-shop or the mini-cab driver who'll take you south of the river a would-be jihadi? Of course not. There are two million muslims in Britain. If they constituted a fifth column undermining Britain we might have endured more than just two (successful) Islamist terrorist attacks in this country since 9/11.
'Of course, it's not just a question of terrorism. It's about culture too. But that doesn't mean that every time a publicity-seeking preacher (of whom, admittedly, the law may sometimes have been too indulgent) says something idiotic or inflammatory or repulsive we must treat his words as proof that his congregation is, if anything, just as foolish or unpleasant or malevolent as he may be.
'It doesn't mean we must believe that the muslim goons who take to the streets when the coffins of British soldiers are brought back from Afghanistan are representative of anything other than their own tiny unsavouriness. They deserve all the scorn and mockery they receive but we demean ourselves by inflating their significance.
'That is, we cannot in good faith judge the beliefs and standards of the law-abiding majority by the excesses and ghastliness of a few. No-one of sound mind disputes that radical Islamism is a real threat. Nor does anyone dispute that there's a problem with "home-grown" radicalism. The question is how we minimise and in time, we hope, eradicate these problems. Turning everything into a Them and Us struggle is just about the last thing we could do to achieve those goals.
'Instead, however, we get up in arms every time a chip shop ceases to sell pork products or when any muslim declines to reject any and every aspect of sharia law. See! They're winning! We cannot permit a Chip Shop Gap.'
He continues:
'The more British muslims, especially the young, the unemployed and the poorly educated, are told or given the impression that they're the enemy or that their religion is somehow a threat to or incompatible with British life then the more likely they are to see themselves eventually in those terms too.'
On the supposed 'Islamification' of Britain, Massie writes:
'To my commenters and the others worried by the "Islamification of Britain" I would ask only this: why are you so afraid and why do you lack such confidence in this country and its people's ability to solve these problems? Perhaps my confidence is misplaced but I think we can probably do it. This is, in many ways, a better, more tolerant place to live than it has been in the past and, unless we blunder, it should remain so. The annoyances of idiotic council regulations about Christmas trees and crucifixes or inflammatory articles in the press ought not to distract us from that fact. The open society is an achievement to be proud of - for conservatives and liberals alike - but the most likely way it can be defeated is if we allow ourselves to be defeated by our fears and, thus, in the end by ourselves.'
Massie, who has previously addressed sensationalised apocalyptic visions of an 'Islamized' Europe, rightly argues that 'diversity need not be a threat' and that Britain 'is, in general, a comfortable, tolerant place made of people with complex identities that make it a more, not less, interesting and decent place.'

Released: Dec 01st, 2004
Running Time: 83
Directors: Grip Johnson, Cram Johnson
Company: SkinTight Pictures
Distribution Companies: Legend
Cast: Dino Bravo, Hayley Rivers, Francesca Sins, Dwayne Cumminz, Nadia Sin, Guy DiSilva, Rick Masters, Lisa Lee
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
"There ain't no pussy fuckin' around here! Go straight to the ass!" Those are the words of nasty Nadia Sin, who appears in the first scene along with Dwayne Cumminz. They deliver a raunchy performance with lots of earnest ass pounding and plenty of A2M. (Actually, A2M is featured prominently and often in each of the four scenes.)
Hayley Rivers is a foul-mouthed slut with a fleshy, white butt. She barks out orders at Rick Masters like a drill sergeant. "Fuck that shithole," she yells. He does it to her hard from behind.
Dirty, sweet Francesca Sins has olive skin and a beautiful, round ass. (She resembles Jeannie Pepper, a bit, in the face.) Guy DiSilva licks her asshole and then rubs his forehead into it. Then he assaults her butt in doggie, cowgirl and from behind with her standing up. She seems to really dig it, shivering, shaking, purring, whispering, and emitting breathy groans. After some piledriver action, he cums on her face.
Finally, British Lisa Lee is a sexy, blond minx with a taut, muscular bod and bee-stung lips. Dino Bravo licks her ass and then fucks it from behind. She gets on top and bounces for a while, and then they move on to the reverse piledriver. A few spots of brown ass leakage are in evidence.
All the girls are dressed in pseudo-military garb, mostly camouflage and army green. They also salute the camera after their performances.
Also, this effort includes many A2M moments.

The Grandview Theatre in Columbus recently did a three day screening of "Tetsuo III: The Bullet Man" and I was happy to see that a local theater finally got a film I was truely excited about seeing.
It is always refreshing to see a film by a filmmaker that is still using the medium as a true art form and is making films where the view of the film is as big a part as the story if not bigger. With his most recent film "Tetsuo III: The Bullet Man", Shinya Tsukamoto has followed the tradition I have come to expect with all his films I have seen in it is beatiful and bizarre.
The film follows Anthony an American business man living in Japan with his wife and son, when his son is hit and killed by what appears to be the same car from the first film ("Tetsuo: The Iron Man") Anthony begins to transform into an iron beast covered with gun like weapons.
More so than the previous installments in the franchise, The Bullet Man gives us more of a back story as to where the Tetsuo creatures come from. Anthony's father Ride is a scientist who spent his career trying to enhance the human body beyond its capabilities, but after being forced to make human weapons he stops at the request of his partner/wife. That is until he finds out his wife is dying of cancer and her dying wish is for him to transform her deceased body into a cyborg that will have the means to birth and raise a child (Anthony). After his sons death, Anthony begins to transform into a Tetsuo creature and we find out that a side effect of the cyborg creatures is that when they become angry they begin to transform into iron skinned monsters.
I found this installment more enjoyable than the previous due to the much deeper storyline and was suprised to find that film not only worked in english but had a plossible reason for being filmed in the language. Not to say that the film is not weird and it is still very difficult to follow at times, but all around "Tetsuo III: The Bullet Man" is a more pleasant viewing experience than the others. It is still the visual stylings of Tsukamoto's work that makes me enjoy it much more than the bizarre storytelling, but it is not to be thrown by the way side. Tsukamoto is one of the most important film makers working out of Japan and his work is worth a view by anyone that considers themselves a true fan of film.
Another bonus of the film comes for fans of the industrial soundtrack as the theme for the film was composed by industrial legend Trent Reznor and can be heard here.

I know many day traders who spend hours looking for the perfect stock to trade, or a stock that is poised to breakout and make them a fortune.These are inefficient ways to trade the stock market. Moves happen everyday, and if we know how to capture that movement it doesn't matter what we trade. That said, we may as well play stocks that are moving a lot, because finding "stocks on the move" doesn't take as much research as you think.
If you are looking to day trade in stocks, keep it simple. Day traders often look for stocks poised to move, instead of stocks which are already moving. Possibly this is because they feel they have missed out some movement already. Who cares! Profits are profits. Things in motion tend to stay in motion, things at rest tend to stay at rest – at least in the short-term.
Here is a simple method for finding the most volatile stocks using a high volatility stock screen–which are almost guaranteed to significantly move each day:
Run the high volatility stock screen once a week for stocks that have an average daily range (intra-day high minus intra-day low) over 5% (averaged over at each 50 days). Set a price filter and volume filter.
For this particular strategy I only trade stocks with over 2 million average (30 days) volume and actually generally trade stocks that have a 6%+ average daily range. You may wish to use a higher or lower average volume, or vary the daily average range.
You may then additionally filter by exchange to narrow the result more to your liking.
Very simple screen! Presto, you have stocks which have a tendency to move a large amount each day AFTER the open! Run this screen once a week and pick the best 2-5 stocks, and day trade those all week. Since you will generally trade the same stocks for several days you can run statistics on them and get a better feel for how they are likely to move–keep in mind knowing how much these stocks generally move in a day is very valuable information.
One note about the price filter – day traders often gravitate to very cheap stocks or relatively expensive stocks. I generally stay away from both these. Run your screen for stocks in the $10 to $100 area. If you get too many results, narrow it to a price range you prefer. Ideally find about 3 stocks you really like–more than this and you may miss opportunities because you are watching too many things. Less than this and you may have too many quiet times during the day. Keep it between 2 and 5 stocks.
Day trading requires a sound method of attack. But now you will have a handful of stocks you know will move so you can put your methods to more fruitful use. We don't know the direction these stocks will go on a particular day, we only know that they move a lot. So be nimble and prey on the volatility. Have a trending strategy and a ranging strategy in order to take advantage of the movements which occurs.
Get too many search results? Increase the filter criteria. Volume is good, so increase the average volume, or increase the average daily percent (the higher the better in my opinion). You can also narrow the price range of the stock screen.
Too few results? Relax the criteria. Try a different price first, then slightly reduce the volume or the average daily range. Still no hits? Weird, but if that is the case, wait for good stocks to come up on the list. If the screen receives no hits, it is very likely the market is quite quiet overall. We don't want to sacrifice too much volume or trade stocks which won't move.
Where to Run Your High Volatility Stock Screen to Find the Most Volatile Stocks
If you only want a handful of stocks you can use the free version (provides up to 5 results per screen) of the screener at http://stockfetcher.com/. Here is the Stock Fetcher screen that I use:
show stocks where the average day range(100) is above 5%
and Price is between $10 and $100
and Average volume(30) is greater than 4000000
and exchange is not amex
add column Average Volume(30)
add column Average Day Range (30)
This can be tweaked to your liking. I have excluded Amex to avoid leveraged etfs being included in the results. Those move a lot everyday, but I prefer looking at stocks which are moving a lot. You can use "and exchange is nyse" to get stocks only listed on NYSE, or "and exchange is nasdaq" for only nasdaq stocks, etc.
You can sort the result columns in different ways, thus providing you with more than five stocks using the free version on Stock Fetcher (you will still only see 5 stocks at a time). I usually sort the Average Day Range column from high to low, and trade the most volatile stocks.
High Volatility Stock Screen – Final Word
This high volatility stock screen is great for finding stocks that move a lot during the day, and also have adequate volume for day trading. If you are new to day trading or have a tendency to get anxious when trading, don't use this high volatility stock screen, and avoid trading the most volatile stocks. These stocks move very quickly so you need to be on your toes and on top of your game. Knowing which stocks to trade is only a small part of the battle. You then need to find a way to enter and exit with a profit, in a very fast and volatile stock.
The Trading Tutorials page on VantagePointTrading.com has many articles which will help in building a trading plan and implementing strategies. The Top Trending Stocks page also provides access to the top trending stocks each day (not necessarily the most volatile though).

Spring is upon us and party planning is on the upswing. Springtime is the host to many parties; such as college graduation, high school graduation, spring birthdays, garden parties and even weddings. No matter what the occasion, there is one common denominator that all these celebrations need: a beautifully decorated cake designed by you and ordered through Kroger bakery's build-a-cake.
Of course you can always bake and decorate your own cake; however there are plenty of bakeries in the area that will dazzle you with their festive presentations and reasonable price tag. A perfect example is Kroger. They have an online "build-a-cake" order form where you get to design your own cake by picking all the options, colors, flavors and size. If you don't have the time or inclination to bake your own cake, this is definitely the way to go!
The prices for Kroger's build-a-cake range from $11.99 to 39.00 with sizes ranging from an 8" round (double layer) to a full sheet cake.
Here are your options in Kroger bakery's build-a-cake:
- Cake size: 8" round (double), ¼ sheet, ½ sheet and full sheet cake
- Cake Flavors: white, yellow, chocolate and marbled yellow and chocolate
- Icing types: buttercreme or whippy
- Icing options: cake icing color, top border color, bottom border color, roses color, balloons color, message color
- Message on cake: Up to 50 characters
- As well as any further instructions you choose to leave for the well trained and seasoned Kroger cake decorators
When was the last time your bakery asked or gave you all these options? And the best part is that you can complete this order on line; therefore no misunderstandings of names or message and your cake is ready at the time you specify.

I covered the out of control practice of government theft known as "civil forfeiture" earlier this year in my post: Why You Should Never, Ever Drive Through Tenaha, Texas. At the time I explained:
In a nutshell, civil forfeiture is the practice of confiscating items from people, ranging from cash, cars, even homes based on no criminal conviction or charges, merely suspicion. This practice first became widespread for use against pirates, as a way to take possession of contraband goods despite the fact that the ships' owners in many cases were located thousands of miles away and couldn't easily be prosecuted. As is often the case, what starts out reasonable becomes a gigantic organized crime ring of criminality, particularly in a society where the rule of law no longer exists for the "elite," yet anything goes when it comes to pillaging the average citizen.
I was appalled to discover recently just how big business civil forfeiture really is, with over $4 billion seized by the feds using this method in 2012 alone. While some of these seizures were no doubt legitimate, clearly many of them were not.
One recent egregious example of inappropriate government theft using "civil forfeiture" is the case of the Schott family, which has owned a grocery store outside of Detroit, Michigan for over 30 years. In January 2013, without warning or explanation, the IRS teamed up with the Department of Justice to take $35,000 out of the store's bank account. In most cases like this one, the victims simply do not have the resources to fight the seizure through the court system, so they are effectively robbed and their lives thrown into financial turmoil without recourse. Fortunately, the Schott's have found assistance through the Institute for Justice, which has put together the following video.
Once again, we see total proof of the selective application of the rule of law in the Banana Republic USA. Not a single banker goes to jail for anything, including billions in money-laundering and destroying the world economy, yet poor people driving peacefully across Texas and family grocery stores depositing small amounts of cash into its bank experience merciless financial attacks. It's immoral, despicable and we need to fight back.
In Liberty,

I bought this a month or so ago from fellow wammer catcando and sadly need to move it on to raise some money.
To quote from catcando's thread:
"This package is for sale, but will not be available for delivery, until its replacement arrives, in a couple of weeks.
This is a clear acrylic plinth and lid, with a black platter and arm. It comes with an Ortofon Rhondo Red cartridge (£385) prefitted. It also comes with the basic Project Speedbox, for electronic speed change 33/45. It uses standard RCA cables from turntable to your phono stage, and I will include a decent pair.
I am the second owner, and it still only has less than 100 hours use. The sale to me was because of non use, and my sale is due to an upgrade.
This package punches well above its price point, as the reviews attest, and a few recent listeners at mine, can verify.
I have all the original packing, and can ship, at cost, to the buyer,but am happy for it to be collected and demoed.
This was about £1050 when released, and can now be found for £899 new.
This is for sale for £450.
One of the places to buy new, and with details and photo http://www.audioaffair.co.uk/Pro-Jec...ge/product_410"
The full original thread is here:
Gregg damaged the end of one of the cartridge leads in getting it ready for me and so knocked another £50 off and sold it to me for £400 which was a bargain. I have subsequently repaired the lead (the red one) with a nice new Cardas tag and heatshrink and it is now in perfect order.
I have probably added no more than 20-30 hours to the deck and am happy to sell for the £400 I paid. Please no offers at this price! Postage at cost but collection preferred.

Weekly Roundup – 12th January 2014
Hi Guys! Hope you're having a great weekend. Here's the low down on what happened at BCC this week…
- A Woman Entangled by Cecilia Grant (Historical Romance) 4 Stars
- A Study in Ashes by Emma Jane Holloway (Steampunk Mystery) 4 Stars
- Crystal Cove by Lisa Kleypas (Paranormal Romance) 3.5 Stars
This week I have mostly been finishing reading book number 8 in Kristen Ashley's Rock Chick series Rock Chick Revolution. I had high hopes for Ally's story and while it was most definitely good, at the same time it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. Ren just wasn't my favourite hero of the series and it also wasn't as laugh-out-loud funny or emotionally poignant as I have found some of the other books to be. The good news is that Ashley is working on a spin-off so I most definitely looking forward to reading those.
Next, I am going to go back to reading Holding out for a Hero by Amy Andrews. I started reading it just before Christmas and then wanted to read a book I knew would be super awesome for Christmas, so I put it on hold. It wasn't that it wasn't good, it's just that it wasn't quite Christmas good, so I shall give it another try and let you know what I think. There is nothing better than being wrong about these things! That's it for me, have a great week.

This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to attend the Coe-Simpson womens basketball game at Maury Eby fieldhouse on the Coe campus. The game itself was a big deal, as it was the Championship game for the Iowa Conference. Here are a few random thoughts about basketball at a lower level.
Sometimes when we get a chance to see a sport played at a smaller division school, we are reminded of what it is really all about. Fun and the love of the game. The players aren't as good at what you would see in a Big Ten or Big Twelve program, but the will play every bit as hard. They dive after loose balls, and scrap for rebounds. They get excited when the win, and cry when they lose. Actually since this was a womens game, both teams cried after the game.
The game itself was exciting, as Coe won 59-56. The fans on both sides, were very loud in their support throughtout the game. Simpson brought a large contingent of fans, and their pep band. It was surprising to see that many people would make the 100 mile or so journey from Indianola to CR on a nasty winter day. But they did.
The Coe students had an organized 'cheering area' that was kind of cool. They were creative in their yelling and chants, actually bringing a smile from time to time.
Evy Fieldhouse really is a gem. It is a pretty little facility that seats maybe 2500 people. And, as I said earlier, it can get loud. I have grown up in this town, and I will say that Saturday was the first time I have ever been inside of the place. That will change.
My only complaint? No hotdogs at the concession stand. Of course that may not be a bad thing. Have you ever eaten a hot dog at the Carver? But they did have candy and popcorn, so it wasn't all lost.
But all in all, it was a great experience, and I had no regrets being there on a Saturday afternoon.
The Kohawk women will host Minnesota-Morris in the first round of the NCAA Division III tournament on Friday night.

However, I think I have more of a fondness for the works at the college. There is some real talent on campus.

Coach (NYSE:COH), the global fashion brand famous for its women's handbags and accessories, has seen better days. The brand, which was started in New York City in 1941 and once seen as unstoppable in the fashion world, has been facing increasing competition -- in particular, from fashion designer Michael Kors (NYSE:KORS). The battle has been becoming increasingly heated, and the results have not been good for Coach's sales. Despite all of its troubles, Coach is still standing and appears to be taking the first steps toward mounting a turnaround.
First steps
In April, Coach announced that it had engaged world-famous designer William Sofield and his team at "Studio Sofield" to consult on a complete redesign of Coach's flagship stores in Beverly Hills, California and New York City. In addition, the company will make the renovations alongside the opening of a new, huge, 8,700 square-foot store in Tokyo, Japan. Once the company implements the new store concept at these three locations, it will carry the redesign to other store locations in 2015. The man at Coach heading up the project and working with William Sofield is Stuart Vevers, who is the acting Executive Creative Director of Coach, and had this to say in a corporate press release:
William and I share a genuine desire to create something different -- different for Coach and unique in luxury. He has created some of my favorite stores...As we continue on the path of transformation, I want our new store environment to organically trigger a significant change in the perception of our brand. A space that feels authentic to Coach, confident, modern and inviting, with honest construction and rich, warm materials.
Clearly, Coach is excited about the project. Furthermore, it might just be the spark that Coach needs to lure back customers who had shifted their focus toward Michael Kors.
Mr. Sofield echoed Stuart Vevers's statements by adding:
Coach's legacy finds dignity in the honest simplicity of form...It's grown alongside the city into an emblem of the sophisticated, yet playful refinement that embodies an authentic and timeless New York style. The concept that Stuart and I have devised instills notions of raw materiality and hand craftsmanship that converse (juxtaposed) with the balance and expression of structure. It will have an elegant thoughtfulness that is classic, but buoyant with a lightness of spirit.
Coach must do something to turn around its fortunes, and this might be the beginning of just that. If Coach doesn't do something to turn its fortunes around, its days may be numbered.
The necessity of these redesigns
To put it simply, the redesigns are extremely necessary. Investors once loyal to the Coach brands' ability to deliver returns have begun to question whether the company has lost its edge. Their fears may very well be warranted as the company has been losing customers to the likes of Michael Kors left and right.
Annual net sales
Company Name
$5.08 billion
$4.8 billion
$4.158 billion
Michael Kors
$3.2 billion
$$2.1 billion
$1.2 billion
Just a few years ago, Michael Kors was a fraction of the size of Coach. However, as it has grown by leaps and bounds in more recent years, it has begun moving in on Coach's territory and stealing customers. This problem became more apparent in Coach's latest quarter which ended March 29, 2014.
Quarter ended:
March 29, 2014
March 30, 2013
North America
$647.9 million
$792.5 million
$440.6 million
$385.2 million
North American Comparable Store Sales
Clearly, this trend of Coach losing sales to the competition, particularly in the all-important North American market, is getting worse and possibly accelerating. Coach needs to do something soon to make sure the damage is not permanent, and that is why this remodeling of the company's flagship stores is so crucial.
Foolish takeaway
While this news is a step in the right direction, it is also important to note that Coach will also need to focus on what customers want -- its products. Regardless of the company's history, the fact of the matter is that consumers view Michael Kors' products as more trendy and fashionable. Coach needs to address this line of thinking; otherwise, these recent sales decreases at Coach are just the beginning of the end.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early-in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

A truly inspired creation taken from Leo Tolstoy's monumental classic by the same name, "Anna Karenina" breathes new life into a timeless story which transcends from the stringent expectations of Russian society and instead embarks on a journey to understand the true meaning of love and sacrifice.
Keira Knightley shines onscreen once again as she takes on the complex role of Anna Karenina, the tragic, headstrong, and beautiful young woman who is willing to cast aside the rules of society and her husband and give up everything she has for a man who is not her husband in the name of love. Her choice ultimately leads not to love but to her destruction.
The elegant world of Russian Aristocracy is governed by a stringent code of honor and expectation. The "rules" impress that no one is allowed to step beyond the boundary of societal expectation. The irony of this tragic story is, despite the beauty of their world and the precise code which governs them, the citizenry of high society Russia is a beautiful tapestry which hides within a world riven with decay and broken love. The stylistic choice of creating St. Petersburg and Moscow as elegantly designed theatrical sets reflects the tone of Russian society perfectly.
Keira Knightley's interpretation of what is quite possibly one of the most tragic love triangles in the history of romantic period films is intriguing because of the multiple layers of personality which make up her character, Anna. When the audience is introduced to Anna, she is initially a likeable character. She cares deeply for her young son and the well-being of her brother, although her relationship with her husband, Alexei Karenin, (Jude Law) tends to be lukewarm at best. When she encounters Vronksy (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) at a party, she at first shies away from his advances but eventually becomes entranced with him and they fall into a passionate affair. The irony which makes Anna's story so tragic is after she has sacrificed everything in order to be with Vronsky, instead of being happy with her choice, she falls into a deeper melancholy than when she was with her original husband and eventually she is so overcome with pain and insecurity that it destroys her.
The psychological personas of the two masculine characters in Anna Karenina portray extreme opposites in the fabric of the storyline. Women may actually tend to appreciate Alexei Karenin (Jude Law) more as a masculine character rather than his counterpart, Vronsky. While Alexei comes off as being cold and withdrawn towards his young wife, in reality, his actions are dictated by his adherence to the expectations of societal law and he is bound by his stringent code of honor not to diverge from the "rules" of society. Ironically, even when Anna betrays Alexei, he forgives her, and then he shows her compassion, not once but twice. Finally, even after Anna's tragic demise, Alexei is seen watching over not only the child he had with Anna, but the daughter Anna had in her ill-fated love affair as well. This allows the audience a brief glimpse into the softer side of Alexei's character and leaves them with the impression that underneath his stern exterior, Alexei is truly an honorable man.
Vronsky, on the other hand, is the epitome of a selfish, shallow and immature aristo-brat with an insatiable lust for beautiful women who can never find happiness or peace of mind with just one. He is originally promised to a young princess named Kitty, but quickly abandons her when he encounters Anna at a ball. Even after Vronsky woos Anna with his licentious charms and destroys her marriage to boot, he soon tires of her and latches on to yet another woman. He lacks the spine or the honor to remain faithful to the women he claims to love and simply manipulates them with no more consideration or respect for their feelings than a hunter has for his prey.
While there are some elements, such as the theatrical setting and distorted imagery which may repel viewers who do not fully appreciate Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece, there are other elements which do this movie justice. The casting is exceptional, the musical score created by Dario Marianelli is flawless, and the story, while sometimes difficult to understand, creates a believable account of a tragic love affair and the consequences which resulted in the wake of the lover's ignorance. If you enjoy romantic period films and beautiful artistry, "Anna Karenina" is definitely worth two hours of your time.

Four Los Angeles-based medical marijuana dispensaries were raided on Tuesday morning by the DEA and LAPD. The joint federal/municipal operation raided the Black Rose dispensary in Fairfax, Downtown Medical Caregivers off Main Street, Washington and Western Medical Group in Harvard Heights and Herbman in Exposition Park. Two homes in Beverly Hills were also raided, and in the process authorities seized an unspecified amount of cash and cannabis along with a handgun, according to the DEA.
An unidentified male allegedly owns all four dispensaries, however no arrests were made and an investigation is presently underway.
The raids occurred one day after City Attorney Mike Feuer announced a citywide crackdown on dispensaries now designated as illegal after last year's passage of Proposition D, which banned all but 135 dispensaries – those that registered with the city prior to a 2007 moratorium.
Feuer confirmed the city has shut down approximately 100 dispensaries since it initiated enforcement of the new restrictions and that two attorneys have been hired solely to prosecute those who violate Prop D. Medicinal pot shops can also be shut down if they are operating within a specific distance from schools, public parks and other locales.
However, hundreds of dispensaries that Prop D outlawed remain in operation and new medical pot stores reportedly continue to open weekly around the City of Angels.

Some tabloids report that there is a race between Kim Kardashian and Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton. Both women are trying to become pregnant for the second time. However, the race may already be over. According to Life & Style, there are three women of the Kardashian family who are already pregnant; Kourney, Kim and Khloe.
Not only does the magazine report that Kim is pregnant, but they also say that she plans to quit the reality show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." A Kardashian insider said that Kim screamed at her mother, Kris Jenner, that she was done with the show.
Why is Kim allegedly quitting the show? The magazine said that she wants to avoid scrutiny over her body changes. She plans to reveal that she is pregnant when she is five months along. Hollywood Life reports that eyewitnesses have stated that Kim is eating more than usual. Perhaps it's because her wedding is over and she doesn't have to worry about fitting into her wedding dress. Or, it could be that she is eating for two.
The news should make her new husband Kanye very happy. He's wanted Kim to quit filming reality TV shows from the day they met. Kanye also wants Kim to have another child right after North came into the world. A source for the Kardashian's said that Kanye wants to have a son this time. They really want another child, so they began trying during their honeymoon trips in June.
So, the pregnancy race between Kim and Kate Middleton may already be over if Kim is really pregnant.A source of the Royal family told Us Weekly that Kate Middleton is hoping to be pregnant by Christmas. "Will and Kate have siblings similar in age, and they want the same for George. They're ready!"
It was close the first time the two women became pregnant because they were expected to deliver in July. Kim delivered North West on June 15, 2013 while Kate Middleton had her first baby, George Alexander Louis, on July 22, 2013.
Do you believe that Kim can keep out of the spotlight while she is pregnant or is that too much a part of her life style? Tell us what you think.

I have been using windows for a long time. And now I have moved on to ubuntu (13.04). I am just 2 to 3 weeks old for ubuntu. I don't understand about the directories like /var , /home, /media etc. . . Can somebody relate all the ubuntu directories to windows directories. That might be so easy for a beginner like me to understand. To be more precise, I don't even know which directory behaves like C: and which one behaves like D: or E: or others. I don't know where to save which kind of docs.

Reviews for Spicy Shrimp
"I love this recipe, however...it is quite salty! The first time I made this I made the mistake of using salted butter. That coupled with the seafood seasoning and bacon was just too much. When I make this now, I only use half the butter and it is unsalted. I add a bit more bacon (YUM!) and I use the Chef Paul Prudhomme's Magic Salmon Seasoning (it is bomb.com!). I am making this tonight and I think I am going to toss it with some roasted spaghetti squash (this helps cut the salt and it a nice way to use the sauce), usually I add about a lb or so of green beans to the pan. I feel like this makes it less bad for you, haha. Overall, a recipe I have made at least 20 times. :) Thanks! Oh and I always just cook the whole thing on the stove."
"This was a very good recipe BUT it was very salty. Think about it; bacon, hot sauce, mustard a mouthful of saltiness ( and I like salt!). BUT it was tasty. I finished this stovetop, not oven. Once I tasted it when it was almost done I threw in some fresh green beans and toasted some bread to soak up the salty sauce. I would make it again. I saved some to throw into a cold salad tomorrow when all spices meld. This might be great as a topping over a baked potato too. Enjoy!"
"Really great shrimp. The thing I love about this recipe is how versatile it is! To make it even spicier (I've got spicehounds in my household), I substituted cayenne pepper for black pepper and marinated the shrimp for a couple of hours in a "brine" made up of chopped garlic, jalapenoes and jalapeno juice. The result was outstanding! Make sure to serve this with something to sop up the sauce! (Rice or French bread!) Thank you, Bob!"
"One word: Delicious!"
"I have to modify the previous comment: bacon, shrimp, and BUTTER...what could be better? We absolutely loved this recipe!"

Stupid Rihanna and Chris Brown. We'd previously feared from the clip we'd heard of "Nobody's Business"—and it looks like they actually are going to spell it proper-like, not the ridiculous "Nobodies Business"—that we were going to enjoy the song, despite the fact that the two of them made it seemingly for the sole purpose of getting us people who already spend too much time and energy considering the meaning and implications of Chris Brown and Rihanna's relationship all riled up and such. Now the full version is here, and dammit, it's a blast.
Alleged Female Trespasser Gets Restraining Order Against Chris Brown
It's not a perfect pop song by any means—the lyrics are a little cheesy, and for all their Forbidden Love drama, the two of them never seem to have particularly good chemistry on record—but it's got that super-breezy (no pun intended) kind of early-'90s dance feel to it, and the Michael Jackson lifts are indeed inspired, and extremely catchy. Smart of the two of them to have their collaboration feel so light on its feet, almost to counteract the inherent heaviness of them working together again with such an inflammatory subject matter. What can we say? It works.
Now will the rest of Unapologetic just leak already?

Travel expenditures by age
November 04, 2003
Trip takers aged 65 and older had the highest average annual travel expenditures of any of the age groups in 2000 ($1,025).
The 65-and-older group of travelers, consisting mainly of retirees, spent an average of 4 percent of its total average annual expenditures on trips and vacations, about twice the share spent by travelers in most of the other age groups.
However, those aged 65 and older were the least likely to report taking a trip in 2000, even though those that did had the highest average expenditures. Twenty-seven percent of households in that group took a trip, compared with 34 percent of all households. The highest percentage of trip takers was posted by the group aged 45 to 55, with 38 percent reporting a trip.
The Consumer Expenditure Survey is the source of these data. Find out more in Consumer Expenditure Survey Anthology, 2003 (PDF 2.7 MB). Age refers to the age of the reference person, the first person mentioned by the survey respondent when asked to "Start with the name of the person or one of the persons who owns or rents the home." Note that business-related travel expenditures for which an individual receives reimbursement are not included.

This morning, April 22, 2014, the Palm Beach County Board of Commissioners chose to adopt an ordinance to further regulate gas station signs for the already heavily regulated industry. Libertarians would suggest there should be no regulation of the signs, leaving up to the individual owner/operators of each gas station to determine what works best for them and their customers. The countywide ordinance (PDF) was tentatively approved by commissioners this past February. The issue had been tabled for a June, 2014 Board of Commissioners meeting, however county commissioners got wind of a state law which could derail their plans, so last week they moved the ordinance up on the calendar for today.
The issue has been dragging on since October, 2013 when commissioners wanted things to be clearer to travelers from the road as to what gas stations are specifically charging for fuel. The controversy is that some travelers are not able to easily determine the difference between cash pricing, credit card pricing and in some instances "gas card" pricing. The issue comes on the heels of when Broward County, Florida started an ordinance forcing gas stations to display their highest prices, not their lowest prices, late last year, which Palm Beach County Commissioners are seeking to mimic.
The debate is over the cost of changing out hundreds of gas station signs at an estimated cost of between $10,000 to $20,000 each. At a time when gas station owners are having a hard time financially, the county commission is calling for them to payout another $10,000 - $20,000 expense when they are already compliant with state law.
Interestingly, it was Tea Party favorite Commissioner Hal Valeche that started this ball rolling to increase regulation on small business in Palm Beach County, which has many low regulation constituents scratching their heads. Valeche, a Republican, almost by definition, are supposed to be against unnecessary regulation of business, however as we see each year, Republicans defy the myth adding pounds of pages to county ordinances and state statutes.

Since his debut in 1955, Tom Ripley has evolved into the ultimate bad boy sociopath, influencing countless novelists and filmmakers. In this first novel, we are introduced to suave, handsome Tom Ripley: a young striver, newly arrived in the heady world of Manhattan in the 1950s. A product of a broken home, branded a "sissy" by his dismissive Aunt Dottie, Ripley becomes enamored of the moneyed world of his new friend, Dickie Greenleaf. This fondness turns obsessive when Ripley is sent to Italy to bring back his libertine pal but grows enraged by Dickie's ambivalent feelings for Marge, a charming American dilettante. A dark reworking of Henry James's The Ambassadors, The Talented Mr. Ripley 'immortalized in the 1998 film starring Matt Damon, Jude Law, and Gywneth Paltrow'is an unforgettable introduction to this debonair confidence man, whose talent for self-invention and calculated murder is chronicled in four subsequent novels.
