The Time When the Reverberation Tail in a Binaural Room Impulse Response Begins
This study aims to investigate, whether the reverberation tails of binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) for different locations and directions in a given room can be arbitrarily interchanged in e.g. virtual environment generation. BRIRs were measured in a quardratic lecture room and postprocessed to minimize any possible noise and concatenation artifacts. Four subsets of combinations of BRIR heads and tails were selected to test for dependence of location and head direction. A 3 AFC test has been carried out with-so far-4 listeners, and the results suggest that-for the room in question-the BRIRs may be cut around 40-60 ms and arbitrarily combined with no or little perceptual consequence.

Fallout 4's music shows how pop culture coped with nuclear terror
How are there so many songs in Fallout 4 that fit into the games' theme?
How are there so many songs in Fallout 4 that fit into the games' theme?
The entire 164 track Banjo Kazooie soundtrack is available on Bandcamp. Ex-Rare audio maestro Grant Kirkhope put up the whole thing, which includes everything from level themes to cheerful, five-second victory chimes. You can name your price. Go revel in glorious bird/bear nostalgia and the happiest main theme ever.
We've been fawning over Hohokum's music for a while now, because the soundtrack is a big part of what makes this upcoming artsy PS4 game such a treat. Ghostly International has made the whole thing available to stream in anticipation of the game's launch next month. If you're not a believer yet, I'd highly recommend…
The recent release of Pokémon X and Y didn't just give the game a graphical overhaul. The music is better than ever before as well, and now you can buy all 3.5 hours' worth of it on iTunes for a piddling $9.99.
The North American Tales of Symphonia Chronicles $100 Collector's Edition for the PS3 is epic. If four Chibi Kyun Chara figures, a novel detailing what happened between Tales of Symphonia and Dawn of the New World, a multi-disc soundtrack and special collector's packaging isn't enough to get you to re-buy two games…
Rockstar released three new character trailers for their latest game in the Grand Theft Auto series. Up top is "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen to go with Michael's debut.
This is "Trigger Finger" from Lil Wayne's newest album I Am Not a Human Being II, released Tuesday. But
Mass Effect Assassin's Creed fans should recognize that opening sample, before it lights up a bowl and rolls into the filth-flarn-filth lyrics (so, yes, NSFW warning if you're listening around others over speakers.)
This performance of the Doctor Who Theme is by Harp Twins Camille and Kennerly, and is a follow-up to their most recent sensation, Blonde Twins Playing Iron Maiden On Harps While Standing In A Ruined Brick Building.
Chiptune music is all well and good, but I like to give my ear something to hold onto along with all the bleeps and bloops. So I very much enjoy Aivi & Surasshu's new album "The Black Box," which mixes the keyboard chops of pianist Aivi Tran and the chiptune stylings of Surasshu.
This performance of "Fear of the Dark" brought to you by Camille and Kennerly, the magnificent harp-handlers behind such classics as Blonde Twins Playing The Elder Scrolls Theme On Harps While Standing In A Forest, Blonde Twins Playing A Metallica Cover On Harps While Standing In The Desert, Blonde Twins Playing …
In place of the Off Topic post tonight, I thought I'd post this music. I was reminded of this excellent theme when watching those GamePro TV episodes from earlier. Man, I loved the theme to the first Tomb Raider. Listening to this was an extreme nostalgia trip.
I don't even know what else to say, really, about NYC-based chip-rock quartet Anamanaguchi. Their music more or less speaks for itself.
It's always fun to hear composers talk about their favorite musicians. This past weekend at PAX, I sat down with a group of the biggest names in AAA video game music to talk about all things musical and video games. Fresh from their panel at PAX, I chatted with Dragon Age composer Inon Zur, Assassin's Creed's Jesper…
This new video from Talking Heads frontman David Byrne and wicked good looper/singer/music-maven St. Vincent is my jam. I mean… two of my favorite singers and a whole full-on sax-section groove. It's like they're trying to kill me with awesomeness.
There have been approximately one billion tribute, cover, and parody versions of Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used To Know.' One of my favorites was this amazing Star Wars parody, but this shredding solo acoustic guitar version by Mike Dawes is another contender.
When friendly Mr. Anthony Carboni shared Porter Robinson's new video for "Language" yesterday, he described it as "What tumblr dreams about at night."
Sometimes the headline does all the talking. Sometimes things are exactly what they seem.
Florida singer/songwriter Shauna Sweeney has a boyfriend, and he sounds like a pretty great guy. He's into video games, comics, and he's pretty good at defragging a hard drive. And so, she wrote this adorable (and catchy!) song called "My Nerdy Boyfriend."
The Extended Cut DLC for Mass Effect 3 was free, and now, so is the additional 16 minutes of music composed for its soundtrack. You can pick up the files from BioWare's website.

Porsche CEO Matthias Muller has finally confirmed that the company is working on a rival for the Ferrari 458 Italia – as Auto Express reported in May last year.
Muller wants to bridge the gap between performance models such as the 911 GT2 RS and the upcoming £672,000 918 Spyder hybrid supercar. The perfect car to slot into that space is a mid-engined supercar that Muller envisages will cost around £250,000.
Porsche hasn't confirmed a name for the newcomer, but rumours suggest it could be badged 961. It will borrow technology from the 918 Spyder, including a lightweight carbon fibre-reinforced plastic monocoque chassis.
Our exclusive image reveals a look inspired by the 918 Spyder and the Panamera Sport Turismo concept that made its debut at the recent Paris Motor Show.
Power is likely to come from the 4.6-litre V8 engine used in the 918 Spyder. Expect around 570bhp and a 0-62mph time of just over three seconds – figures to match those of the 458 Italia and McLaren 12C.
The new supercar forms part of Porsche's plans to sell 200,000 cars a year in 2018, but the majority of those sales will come from high-volume models such as the Macan small SUV and the next-generation Cayenne and Panamera families.

C++ lacks the equivalent of PHP's
self keyword, which evaluates to the type of the enclosing class.
It's easy enough to fake it on a per-class basis:
struct Foo
typedef Foo self;
but I had to write
Foo again. Maybe I'll get this wrong one day and cause a silent bug.
Can I use some combination of
decltype and friends to make this work "autonomously"? I tried the following already but
this is not valid in that place:
struct Foo
typedef decltype(*this) self;
// main.cpp:3:22: error: invalid use of 'this' at top level
// typedef decltype(*this) self;
(I'm not going to worry about the equivalent of
static, which does the same but with late binding.)

"I had purchased a pair of Women's sneakers - New Balance in size 10.5 D and they fit perfect but they only came in bright orange so I talked to customer service to find out if they had the same shoe in a different color. They did have the Womens 980, size 10.5 D in a grey/black color. I ordered them and they are very good shoes. They are not the same fit as the orange shoes, however. The grey ones are slightly larger than the orange pair and that is not good but I can put a sole inside the shoe to help the fit. I am satisfied with these shoes. I will say that the fit of New Balance for Women's size 10 - 10.5 is very inconsistent. I have tried a few styles from New Balance and have only found that the 980 is a reliable size."

New Mexico hospital returning overpayment by state
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The Human Services Department says a Gallup hospital is returning a $5 million overpayment by the state from a program that helps hospitals cover health care for uninsured [auth] and poor New Mexicans.
Department spokesman Matt Kennicott said Friday that an "error in paperwork" caused the agency to provide Rehoboth McKinley Christian Hospital with about twice as much as it was supposed to receive.
The hospital alerted the agency to the error and will return the overpayment.
Kennicott said no similar overpayments happened with other hospitals.
The state plans to allocate the $5 million to other hospitals.
At issue is a more than $60 million program that helps reimburse roughly two dozen mostly rural hospitals for uncompensated health care for the uninsured.

BRENHAM, Texas -- Five Blinn College baseball players have been named to the All-Region XIV Conference South Zone team after leading the Buccaneers to a 31-24 regular-season record.
Sophomore pitcher Karl Malecek, freshman catcher Brandon Montalvo, sophomore infielders Kevin Santana and Hayden Vesely and sophomore designated hitter Tyler Coker were each named to the squad.
Malecek, a 6-3, 195-pound right-hander from North Vancouver, Canada, went 6-3 with a 3.36 ERA in 77 2/3 innings this season, walking 15 while striking out 46. He was a unanimous all-conference selection.
"If you had to have a team MVP, Karl would get quite a few votes," Blinn head coach Harvey McIntyre said. "He's been extremely important because you can anchor your rotation around him and he's extremely consistent."
Montalvo, a 6-0, 190-pound freshman from Houston, batted .280 this season with nine doubles, three homers and 20 RBIs.
"He separated himself from everyone else," McIntyre said. "Once he started swinging it, he really gained confidence in himself."
Santana, a 5-11, 196-pound first baseman / third baseman from Cypress, hit .339 this season with 18 doubles, seven home runs and 42 RBIs. His slugging percentage of .563 led the Buccaneers, as did his 47 runs scored. He was a unanimous all-conference selection.
"There haven't been a lot of games that we haven't gotten anything out of Kevin Santana," McIntyre said. "People around the league know about him."
Vesely, a 6-0, 192-pound second baseman / third baseman from Victoria, hit .311 this season with 15 doubles, one homer and 35 RBIs. He led the team with 13 stolen bases and ranked second with 43 runs scored and he was a unanimous all-conference selection.
"He's a gamer," McIntyre said. "Since he got here, he's played right field, left field, second base and third base. He's a great kid, he works extremely hard and I'd take him on any team I've ever had."
Coker, a 5-9, 175-pound center fielder from Atascocita, is hitting .303 with nine doubles, three homers and 27 RBIs. He leads the Buccaneers with 39 walks this season and boasts a team-leading .459 on-base percentage.
"He gives us quality at-bats," McIntyre said. "He always gives us an opportunity to score and he's really swinging it well lately so I'm excited about what he can do at the regional tournament."
The Buccaneers will face Panola College in the first round of the Region XIV Tournament, hosted by Angelina College in Lufkin this year. Paris and Alvin will play the first game of the tournament at 10 a.m. Saturday, followed by Blinn vs. Panola at 1 p.m., Galveston vs. Navarro at 5 p.m. and Bossier Parish vs. San Jacinto at 8 p.m.
Blinn is the third seed out of the South Zone while Panola is the No. 2 seed from the East. Audio coverage of the tournament will be streamed online at http://www.tsrnsports.com.

Fans love Bel Ami and this series, so stock accordingly.
Bel Ami's casting series heads to Budapest, where 30 wannabes create audition tapes with the head of Bel Ami's Budapest office, Eliot Klein. George Duroy then picked the ten with the most potential who then had photo sessions with American photographer Mick Hicks. Brief videos of those sessions precede the Top 10's audition tapes, which start with brief interviews before the fellas stroke their meat. Fans familiar with this series will know exactly what to expect. The jacks are pretty tame, but the series excels when viewed as what it should be: a tribute to the young male body. No matter what your type is, it's impossible not to see the beauty in these smooth, toned boys. And their big, thick dicks are simply mouthwatering. The interviews aren't too in-depth, and some of the guys seem nervous. Joey and Vinnie make strong impressions, but if sheer cock size is what you want, be on the lookout for Eddie (the last of the Top 10). Lucky for him, he can get in a few licks on himself. The remaining 20 aren't quite as strong, although we would have easily picked Krisztian 1 (who appears fifth in the remaining 20) for the Top 10.

Then you should have assigned someone other than Charles to write about it.
I blame Charles.
And you.
Will the Stranger de-suggest reading Dining In/Out?
He'a schmuck.
His enterprise is fundamentally flawed. He's trying to apply a "visionary" model based on familial relations to a commercial enterprise. He can't face up to the fact that it IS in fact a commercial enterprise, and that disconnect, combined with his hippy-dippy world-view (they sing John Denver songs after dinner?) means that he'll never be even as authentic a "third place" as Third Place Books, or Starbucks.
It's great to be passionate about good food. It's not great to be a douchebag about it. Get a real job like everyone else, and cook for your friends and family, like everyone else does. If you want to work in a restaurant, work in a restaurant.
But shove your manifesto up your ass. Wash your hands afterwards, of course.
COMMENT DELETED: Off-Topic
We remove comments that are off topic, threatening, or commercial in nature, and we do not allow sock-puppetry (impersonating someone else)or any kind of puppetry, for that matter. We never censor comments based on ideology.
Fnarf, you don't sound as if you're familiar with the projects Hebberoy is involved in beyond reading about him. I don't think he's unaware that he's involved in commercial enterprises.
The Times article, you should note, speaks to no one involved with Hebberoy's work in Seattle (and there's quite a list of interesting persons the writer could have spoken with). As is, it reads like a hit piece on someone who the article's readership had yet to hear of. Which is a little weird.
Maybe you're right, Eric, but when I read in his own words "Kill the Restaurant", and the bare fact that he even HAS a "manifesto", and all the other hokey details of his operation, he sounds like a self-absorbed hippie twat. And running away from your wife and kids without a word is just plain shitty, whatever the business details are.
Did he ditch his wife, but keep her half in his name? WTF?
Go easy on Charles, Dan.
I suspect a lot of people didn't ask the hard questions because Michael "Hebberoy" was a hot, young, blond white guy. I suspect Charles Mudede, being Charles Mudede, found the idea of a supposed "manifesto" to be far more seductive. And isn't it the writer's choice to write the story he wants to write?
If there was a question that should have been asked at the time, wouldn't it have been the editor's job to point it out?
Fnarf, you've substituted "wife and kid" for "restaurants." I'm not expert in either history, but I'm pretty sure they are distinct.
He ran away from both.
I'm quibbling with "without a word," which seems to be your invention.
I regret that we spend so much time discussing Michael's personal life. Fnarf - what exactly about the "manifesto" bothers you, aside from its existence? Has anyone here been to a one pot dinner? As someone who has worked with Michael and knows him personally, I have my own opinions of him - which I will not share here. Of his work, however, I will say much: he is a man of ideas, some of which get executed, others not. It is unfortunate that his existential life crisis happened so publicly, and on such a grand scale, as the fall of ripe in Portland. I am grateful my 30 year old self's mistakes weren't/aren't incessantly harped about on portlandfoodanddrink.com.
It all makes me think that without substantive complaint, critics are merely playing into the mythology of this villain. You've been to a one pot? You've had disappointing interactions with Michael professionally? You've read the kill the restaurant website and you have something to say about it? Let's talk. Until then, this is all pure gossip, and outdated gossip too - Portland's been bitching about Hebberoy since 2006.
I had a front row seat on the early days of One Pot and (without having personally performed a toxicology panel) it seemed like it should have been called "lots of pot, a fifth and two tabs of Percodan." At one of the early dinners he was almost too dosed to stand at dinner when the time came to describe the dinner to guests and needless to say the kitchen staff wouldn't let him hear the knives or the stove. After a couple of repeat performances, the responsible parties (my friends) realized that whatever hype value he added wasn't worth the hassle, and the concept morphed into something with more crockery and less shit.
There's a ton of work involved in the restaurant trade (underground or not) and no matter how much of a "dreamer" or "idealist" you are, being a falling-down addict just isn't compatible with success. While it might not be polite to discuss his "personal life," living up to hype like Hebberoy's requires serious commitment and at least a semblance of balance. From where I sat, he didn't really seem to have either.
I think all of you need to get a life and get off this man! Jesus, we all have pasts and triumphs and failures- usually less public-he is a dreamer, he is incredible, he is talented, he does have a vision- of which you cannot understand...haute cuisine is over and Micheals vision
is supported by many restauranteurs and will progress. Your comments are supported by gossip and anxious press. And how can you judge his "balance"... what do know of him- nothing! Are not individuals enabled to celebrate and let loose without judgment- did he hust anybody or endager his guests- I dont think so. Those that live our lives to the fullist embrase and enjoy every moment- without suspect critisism.
Tommy [Habetz] was co-owner of the business whose financial dealings he knew so little about. So was Naomi. According to the NYT article (buried 3/4 of the way in) it was Michael Hebb who paid off most of the debts out of his own pocket. Tommy is now getting to cook and an excellent restaurant in Portland; Naomi is starting her own restuarant with the help of her new boyfriend. Jason Barikowski and Gabriel Rucker among many others have found amazing opportunities to cook that did not exist in Portland before ripe.
I know this history first hand. I'm really astonished at the "good guy v. bad guy" simplifications of the Times writer and at Dan's indignation that such an "asshole and a fraud" as Michael could be allowed to promote dining events in Seattle.
As Dan, and everyone at The Stranger should know, the succesfful businessman does just one thing that Michael Hebb could not do, and that is to keep extending debt on and on. The ripe business collapsed when Michael ran out of energy and will to keep floating this dream single-handed, with co-owners who apparently cared little enough about the details to have been shocked to find their business was running big debts.
Businessmen, women? Tim? Dan? Tell me, what successful business has never run that kind of debt?
In any cae, Michael might be a lousy businessman, but I for one envy Seattle's good fortune at having someone in town willing to take risks on untried ideas, and even get drunk and stoned while he does it. That way lies the future. (For some of you, the recent past.)
For a more accurate and informed account of the ripe collapse and its residue read my intro to the Back Room anthology. It's not the last word, but it tells a far better story than the NYT piece.
passionate person has a dream. passionate person acts on dream collaborating to create a mini-empire. dream seems to be built on shifting sands. things explode and everyone walks away hurt. time goes on, people try to make good and heal.
passionate person opts to make a fresh start. moves to seattle. person refocuses his passion, creating a new vision. new vision takes hold and michael connects with local passionate people. article comes out telling everyone what a shitty thing he did. people distance themself and make angry sentences.
he came here for a fresh start. his past has never been hidden -- in fact, it was covered pretty extensively in the Portland Mercury.
i know this can be written a hundred different way -- eogmaniac deserts wife/business, etc. but people. like said above, i'm just glad not all my f'ups ended up in the newspapers and or blogs.
i am not sure why everyone is so passionate about this. if you are uninterested in my events: simply don't come. the nytimes piece says many things - good, bad, untrue, and spot on. i have made many big mistakes - i have never hidden that - but my private life is between me and my friends and my family - if i took the time to clarify the details you would have a much different picture - but the times chose to tell a sensational story - c'est la vie.
at the end of the day i am not plotting anything sinister - i am passionate about food, and the table, and what happens when you use then in imaginative ways - and really that is about it.
i doubt i will be getting back to this slog. but dan i would love to finally meet and discuss frauds and assholes - sounds like a good drinking conversation.
If Michael wanted to hide his history he would have moved across the country and not 174 miles north. He knew he was talking to the NYT press, and that the press will do it's due-diligence and make an informed decision to include facts and gossip in a news story.
We all have 1st, 2nd and even 3rd acts in our lives, and many people start over after catastrophe, for better or for worse. If you look around at some of the new things popping up in Seattle, you might find a carpetbagger, or two, but you might also learn something from them.
Michael has helped bring a new vision and lively conversation to some tired restaurant concepts in Seattle. Good for him. Good for us.
I don't know that "fresh start" would be an accurate description for Hebberoy's move to Seattle. Michael's MO has always been rooted in courting the press, and One Pot is no exception. If in the process he chooses to reference his past successes or failures, then either of those can and should be held up to scrutiny by the press. From my perspective, the press and the blogs are basically working in reverse mode now; deconstructing the hype. This ritual of building up and tearing down has become the standard for the press vs. celebrity playbook, and we all seem to embrace it.
Everyone can believe what they want to believe when it comes to Mr. Hebberoy, including Mr. Hebberoy himself. The only truth is that ego and self-awareness do not go hand in hand.
Regardless of his "passion" or his "willing[ness] to take risks" he is nothing more than the man he has made himself to be, an excellent salesman. He may be able to pull off whatever he is doing in Seattle, for a while, but in the end his "vision" will fail because he is a horrible businessman. His inability to crunch numbers and stay out of debt was his demise in Portland and of the Ripe "empire".
Only time will tell what we are truly to make of him.
Mr. Stadler please do not discredit Portland and the chefs themselves by saying that Mr. Rucker and Mr. Barikowski would not have the opportunities they have without Mr. Hebberoy. Le Pigeon formed out of a fledgling bistro with a then unknown Mr. Rucker pushing the envelope on cooking to make it what it is today. And while Mr. Barikowski may have an enviable location in a chic new hotel he is no clone. He is making it his own, and in my opinion one of the top three places in town to eat. And by the way, I think Greg Higgins, Cory Schreiber, and Vitaly Paley might have a bit more to say in opening the doors for the Portland restaurant scene.
By the way, for those of you in Seattle that have yet to drink the grape Kool-aid, I hear he can get you a great deal on musical instruments and band uniforms.
I think those of you venting your anger at Mike Hebb should be redirecting your beef at The New York Times. Obviously many, many writers and editors find the Hebberoy projects and personality fascinating and think their readers will agree. Getting a color photo and as much NY Times print space as Hebberoy did means that the nation's newspaper of record thinks his story and what he has to say are, hell, National News.
A valid question to ask would be: why is it National News when a restaurant owner's business fails, he gets a divorce, he moves and then starts another, less financially successful food services business the next town over? How many permutations of that story happen every single month? I mean, Mike's just doing what he's doing. He's got a schtick like a million other people. It's other people that decide it's interesting.
Those of you who call him a schmuck and so on are just ensuring that we'll hear a lot more about Hebberoy. But if you stop paying attention, he'll go away.
I have no problem with his past business details...and I would like to be part of anything he does in the future...interesting creative meals, hosting, sponsoring, eating, etc. How do I contact Michael directly or find out where he is and what he is doing?
Tassierosa from Seattle
michael never made good food- but naomi and the rest did, he did make great waves- and some of them were great to ride on and some were great to stand under as the crashed down. the worst thing about the nyt article and the subsequent posts is that michael comes off as some kind of hero for selling property and paying some of his debtors off- this was not some altruistic gesture. he did not offer to do so he was FORCED to do so. And he still owes a crapload of people. He submitted. This is also not about all of the good things good people went on to do- it is about one die hard / blow hard- skipping out on the community he so ferociously inspired, took advantage of and touted. What amazes me about people like michael and sometimes his supporters is that they act like their work springs from divine inspiration as does their success- when many many many people chose to help, promote, and pay for their "vision".

Knife Review : Douk-Douk Knife
What do you think about this video?
sergeantbigmac: I think id prefer the German Mercator 'cat knife'. Basically same construction (slim sheet metal handle) but it has a lock... Im not like some guys and need a locking mechanism, because lets face it most of the stuff youre using a pocketknife for everyday is pretty light stuff. Like I carried an old buck knife for years and worked fine for me....
But if I have the option (and in this case for virtually the same knife) ill pick the one with the lock.
Brian Hayden: You sort of sound like Jason Alexander.
mocswithsox: Could you expand on that list of affordable workhorse knives from different cultures? I recently have been particularly interested in such blades but am not familiar with many varieties. Thanks much, and good review.
wisc flank: Dude, it is a french knife. It is and has always been produced in France. It's been designed in France too, for the oceania market. Gaspard Cognet designed it. And he's not Melanesian. Saying it arrived in France because the soldiers confiscated them in Africa is cute though.
FPS Knifer: I have the larger version of this sorcier model. I got it as a gift and have been carrying it for a few months now. The backspring on these is crazy! I'm amazed I haven't sliced a finger off yet - these snap closed like a damn guillotine. Not your everyday folder & people used to the modern creature comforts might not dig these knives, but they're well designed & excel in many areas. Portability is an obvious advantage here.
SingDing10: I like this lighting, it makes the video seem very homely and relaxing. Great vid as always!
paul greenwood: I have one. Legal here in the UK, the most reliable supplier is Heinnie Haynes near Cardiff.
1845Raven: I read recently that French knife maker Fred Perrin was a fan of these knives. I also read the Douk-Douk knives are made in France. They are made of XC75 steel. I believe a US steel equivalent would be 1075 steel. Also, the steel is hardened to 52-53 HRC. That's a very low rockwell for HC steel, but I figure for a variety of reasons--value, etc., the low rockwell is fine.
MrHassancehef: sorry, but your history is false
blk stone: how big is the large?
Patrick McCormack: I own the small and large sized Douk-Douks. I gave them out as gifts to the groomsmen at my wedding. Fantastic knife. I carry the small version everywhere. I read somewhere that part of the reason they were outlawed by the French in the colonies was because assassins were known to pinch the handle shut beneath the blade once opened, turning the knife into a stiletto dagger. It was outlawed due to the rise in stealthy murders and assassinations.
ByeByeAnotherDay: Indeed. The Douk Douk character was put on it to make it sell better in Oceanian colonies. It later sold pretty much everywhere in French colonies and territories. Later came variations, like the El-Baraka with a Berber star for Maghreb colonies, the Tiki with a Polynesian character on it, and even a French version, l'Ecureuil, with a squirrel. But it was always a French knife made in France. Melanesians didn't even knew how to work steel when they were colonized.
Siegdrifa: I checked some french web site and the price of the Douk Douk L'Ecureuil (squirel) is 16.65€ So with the change, if the knife is in good shape, i think 20$ is a fair price.
Siegdrifa: The Douk Douk is actualy a 100% french knife, created in 1929 by Cognet coutellerie, for foreign market. Also, Cognet produced different version of Douk Douk for different foreign market. I bought one for my father's birthday because i heard good thing on this knife, and i was a little decived, i thought the handleling would be not great ... but after a few test, i changed my mind completly, i really like having it in my hand it is a very reliable knife. Getting one for me soon.
Moresugarthanusual: Hmmm,do you think the Squirel Douk Douk off ebay is worth the 20$???:O
captainkid1: That's odd because I read everywhere the steel is actually very soft. :)
captainkid1: looks like a fun sharp knife. But I'm not paying $30 for one.
lamargreenleaf: It looks like a copy of my German made Mercator K55K.
acadjionne: fellow cutlerylover, the most information is @ .douk-douk. where they say the blade "forged AFNOR XC (0.75% C, 0.70% Mn, 0.30% Si) water hardening carbon steel @ HC 50-53," and there r 5 other parts to it. A legend created by coutelier M.C. Cognet, Thiers, France since 1929. the new models r interesting too - there's even table knives. Cheap, ultra-reliable and excellent material quality for hard chores.
MJFallout: He actually said "the south Africans have the Okapi knife" There you go, easy to find now.

"I wonder, why do you not hesitate in greeting me. I believe that the Jensaarai were viewed as isolationist and dark-side affiliated during the old Jedi Order."
"I do not see why I shouldn't hesitate in greeting you. You have not attempted to strike me down with either your saber or with a barrage of force lightning. And I'm sorry to tell you that I never had the opportunity to learn that much about the Jensaarai except of what I heard in rumors while I was on the run."
"Our own records tell that the first who accepted our existence between light and dark was Master Skywalker of the new Jedi Order. And because you have lived during the time Darth Vader was a known figure in the Galaxy, would you not fear when you saw someone with my kind of armor and a lightsaber?"
Alriana had to think on that for a moment.
"...No I don't believe I would. Because I know that Darth Vader is long since dead...and if you did mean me harm...we would not be sitting here having this conversation. Intead we would be battling it out in the corridors of this ship."
Alriana's head shot up from her pillow as a sudden sensation hit her like a thunderbolt.
There is someone else down on the planet with the Holocrons...Someone must be attempting to get to them before the jedi do.
Alriana had lived on that planet for nearly ten years before she had been frozen, she had established a bond with the Wild- life and a somewhat weaker one with the holocrons and right now she knew that something was disturbing them.
"There is...someone else down there besides the jedi...something is upsetting the wildlife down there."
Alriana struggled out of the bed and brought her hood up around her head. "I apologize but I must be going...something is wrong down there."

Displaced femoral neck fractures usually are treated with hemiarthroplasty. However, the degree to which the design of the implant used (cemented or uncemented) affects the outcome is not known and may be therapeutically important.
In this randomized controlled trial, we sought to compare cemented with cementless fixation in bipolar hemiarthroplasties at 5 years in terms of (1) Harris hip scores; (2) femoral fractures; (3) overall health outcomes using the Barthel Index and EQ-5D scores; and (4) complications, reoperations, and mortality since our earlier report on this cohort at 1-year followup.
We present followup at a median of 5 years after surgery (range, 56–65 months) from a randomized trial comparing a cemented hemiarthroplasty (112 hips) with an uncemented, hydroxyapatite-coated hemiarthroplasty (108 hips), both with a bipolar head. Results were previously reported at 1-year followup. Harris hip scores, Barthel Index, and EQ-5D scores were assessed by one research nurse and one orthopaedic surgeon. Complications and reoperations were determined by chart review and radiographs examined by three orthopaedic surgeons. Sixty patients (56%) had died in the cemented group and 63 (60%) in the uncemented group. Respectively, three and two patients (2.7% and 1.9%) were completely lost to followup.
Harris hip scores at 5 years were higher in the uncemented group than in the cemented group (86.2 versus 76.3; mean difference 9.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.9–17.9). The prevalence of postoperative periprosthetic femoral fractures was 7.4% in the uncemented group and 0.9% in the cemented group (hazard ratio [HR], 9.3; 95% CI, 1.16–74.5). Barthel Index and EQ-5D scores were not different between the groups. Between 1 and 5 years, we found no additional infections or dislocations. The mortality rate was not different between the groups (HR, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.82–1.7).
Both arthroplasties may be used with good medium-term results after displaced femoral neck fractures. The uncemented hemiarthroplasty may result in higher hip scores but appears to carry an unacceptably high risk of later femoral fractures.

Mitre 10 is seeking consent to develop two sites at Glenda Dr
because of what it says are ''severe limitations'' at its
location in Remarkables Park in Frankton.
The land is owned by H and J Smith Ltd, the parent company of
subsidiary companies, including the Mitre 10 at Remarkables
Park. One section of land is vacant and the other has a
single-level building and a few shipping containers.
''The proposal is to add a new extension which will be
located directly behind the existing building on lot 15. The
building will be for trade retail sales only,'' the company
says in its application.
Lot 14 would be used to store stacks of wood and for 13 car
''The proposed use of the site for retail trade activities,
which mainly involves the sale of timber for building
purposes, is better suited to an industrial location, such as
the application site, rather than having trucks and other

Your home's electrical design is very important to your comfort and safety. Most newer homes feature more outlets for the many electrical appliances used today. Some large appliances such as air conditioners, dryers, and refrigerators benefit from a dedicated circuit that supplies electricity just to that machine. A dedicated circuit helps make sure that the appliance is getting enough power. Modern building codes require special safety measures for electrical systems. One safety feature is 'ground fault protection.' This device helps prevent shock by shutting off the electrical circuit when it gets wet. Ground fault protection circuits are located on electrical outlets near sinks and other water sources. When planning electric design for a new home or remodeling project, choose more outlets rather than less. Homebuilders of the sixties and seventies didn't predict the need for increased electricity usage. If you own a home built in that era, you may want to consider rewiring for today's lifestyle.

Wladimir Klitschko now holds the record for the longest reign in HW boxing history

Re: Wladimir Klitschko now holds the record for the longest reign in heavyweight boxi
To reastablish a true "lineage" once again we'd nearly have to have a division by division "Super 6" like was done at 168 (where there is no doubt that Andre Ward is the man there now).
For 17 or so divisions that is probably unlikely to ever happen with the vested interests of the big promoters blocking a lot of the fights that would need to be made and boxing as a whole needs to happen.
So as it stands we'll have to trawl through history books to find out who the lineal guy truly is. I mean who was lineal champ at 168 when Jones beat Toney? ******ed if I know and once all these super and junior divisions came into being on top of the alphabet titles the lineal title waters were further murkied to be almost inpenetrable to all but the most dedicated hard core fan.
As an example of the cheapening of the term "world title" I watched Tyson-Douglas back to back before Wlad-Wach and my wife (who doesn't like boxing) of course knew Tyson but also Douglas and Holyfield who was just sitting ringside, as heavyweight champs. She hadn't heard of either Wlad or Wach, yet Wladamir has been a titlist for longer than Tyson ever was.
This malaise that hangs over boxing won't go away until there is a complete overhaul of the rankings and a complete s****ping of, or unification of the WBC,WBA,IBF,WBO...etc etc. If it doesn't happen and we keep missing out on the Floyd-Pac fights then boxing will keep it's slow inevitable drift to minor league "niche" sport, if it isn't there already.
