Price paid: € 199
Purchased from: verkkokaupaa
Features: It's a practice amp like no other. It is identical to the other THRs but only has a tone control and doesn't have the presets to save like the 10 or input volume control for a CD player or computer. You use the volume control of the device. That said, for what it is it is awesome. It's an amp that you can play on that really reproduces the tone and response of the big tube amps of old. I can adjust the tone or gain or volume and it reacts like my old Fender and Peavey tube amps without having to be loud. That's a hug plus. I have a Roland Micro Cube and although it is a good practice amp it doesn't replicate anything great. It is like listening to a CD instead of and old 33 LP of something. The LP has the analog sound of the music. It is rich and vibrant and picks up all the sounds and characteristics of the music, a CD does not. It reproduces the music. It's not the same. There's something missing you could say. The Yamaha reproduces the feel, warmth, character, and sound of the old tube amps but at a lower volume when you want it. Even small tube amps, although sound great, still have to be turned up to get that sound and feel and when you are in an apartment or in your living room its just too loud sometimes. With this, you can play at lower volumes. // 10
Sound: I can only say it sounds the way the old tube amps sounds. A very faithful recreation of the character and feel of a tube amp that you can listen and play on your desktop or in a classroom. The delay and reverb are great and work very well. It also has the normal fx like phaser and such as you expect. The really great part is the amp editor you download from Yamaha. With this you can change the amp modeling to many other amps or create your own sound. Just plug in the USB into the amp and computer and there you go. The THR5 doesn't have the ability to save the edited amps on the amp, the THR10 does though. Don't miss that function as the amp sits close to my laptop anyway. The tone is awesome in that it totally reacts to your playing and guitar just like a tube amp would. The 5x5 speakers can get loud if you want them to but its not designed to be a gig amp. It's for home or classroom use, home recording also. If you were to mic it, you could I guess gig with it just like many who have with a Roland Micro Cube or Pignose. // 9
Reliability & Durability: Reliability is spot on, its from Yamaha, one of the most respected brands in music instruments. It is made of metal and plastic and although should last many years it has no rubber for banging around on. Like my micro cube I could just through it in the back of the car and not worry about it, but this no. I don't see it lasting long if abused, like you wouldn't just through you Gibson LP in the back of a car without a case, its a fine musical instrument, as this is also. I give it a 7 here because many amps are built with more ruggedness in mind. If you get a case for it like you would a stage amp then you would be fine. // 7
Overall Impression: Highly impressed with what Yamaha has done here. They have made an amp that reproduces all the sound and tone and character of the tube amps, and done it well. I can say I have tried many modeling amps before getting this and all left me feeling as though something was missing. Yamaha has made what is the best amp for home practicing and recording. It's attractive, retro, can run on batteries (6 hours on 8 AAs), and customizable. It's a little pricey but you get what you pay for. I couldn't be more pleased. Have looked long and hard for an amp like this, something that acts and sounds like my old tubes but I can listen to at my desk or in the classroom. Plus it's great for teaching also. I teach guitar to 5th and 6th graders and this is a great instrument for them to understand how an amp reacts to the guitar, how and why it distorts, the theory of the sound that comes from their pickups and goes through their amps. What happens, how, and why. All this without having the windows rattling. // 10
Purchased from: local music store
Features: This 10 watt amp can run on battery (8 AA batteries) or a 15V power supply.- Settings: Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brit High Gain, Modern High Gain- Effects: Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo- Delay / Reverb: Delay, Delay & Reverb, Spring Reverb, Hall ReverbAlso includes gain, master, tone and volume knobs as well as a built in guitar tuner and tap button for delay effects. Has guitar input, an AUX port (useful for plugging your phone into and playing along with music), a 1/4" stereo jack for headphones, and a USB port. The THR series also come with Cubase AI6 music production software, which I haven't used yet but it has very good reviews and is a nice add-on to have with this amp, especially since it can plug directly into a computer. // 10
Sound: The Yamaha THR5 is an amazing sounding amp. It sounds just like a vintage tube amp, and even has a dim orange fake-tube light you can see through the front grill. This amp has a great sounding Clean channel, lightly distorted Crunch and Lead channels perfect for vintage sounding music, and heavily distorted Brit Hi and Modern channels for vintage and modern distortion sounds. There are a lot of features in this small amp, it's like having a limited pedal board right on your amplifier. All of the effects sound great at lower volumes and decent at higher volumes. If you don't use any effects, the sound is so clear and crisp. This amp would be best used in a studio / home recording space or just for practice at home. This is not a gig amp. With headphones in the quality of sound is even more superior than the speakers. No matter what your style of music is, you will be able to come up with perfect tone settings to fit your needs. // 10
Reliability & Durability: I wouldn't drop this amp, because you shouldn't drop any amp. But because of it's size especially it could get pulled off a desk/counter/ect when plugged into the guitar if the guitar cable gets too tight. The battery can last for a number of hours depending what effects you have running. It is a fairly fragile amp due to it's size, be cautious of that and in the manual it says "Do not operate this unit upside-down. They may overheat, possibly causing damage." I'm not sure if it's talking about the amp or the guitarist, so you'll have to be cautious of that too. // 9
Overall Impression: I play classic rock and this amp is perfect for that genre. I love all the channels except for the modern gain, IMO it is way too distorted, even when the distortion is reeled off but for metal players I suppose it would be suitable, although I don't suggest this amp to metal heads just because there are better amps out there for metal. This amp is, however, good for older metal such as Black Sabbath. If this amp was ever stolen or broke, I would definitely buy another one, if I could get it for less than retail again because this amp is fairly expensive. With everything this amp can do and the sound it produces, it is worth the cash to buy it. The THR5 is the THR10's little bro, I got to play a THR10 for a few minutes and it sounded amazing (like the THR5) but it had a few more channels and effects. The only thing that I wish the THR5 had that the THR10 has is Bass, Middle, and Treble settings instead of just a Tone knob. Although the tone knob works fine. // 10

Saturn is a teacher. He challenges us to do more with our lives. He tests us to make us stronger. Saturn's lesson for every one may be different, it all depends on what your soul needs to learn.
Usually you are given three tests over the course of the two years he visits. The first test is kind of an introduction to the problem or issue you are supposed to deal with. By the time the second test is given, you should come up with a game plan and be prepared to take action. If you have not resolved an issue, learned a karmic lesson or changed something in your life that needs changing, the third test is very difficult. You could feel overwhelmed. But Saturn is not a heavy handed, bad guy. He will reward you greatly for a job well done and lessons learned. If you meet each test and challenge that comes, there are wonderful benefits at the end of this cycle.
Most of the time, we hang onto things that are no longer necessary in our life; perhaps a dead end job, a bad marriage, a poor self esteem and the like. Saturn wants to help you get rid of what is holding back to make room for better things in your life.
The job of Saturn in the 5th is building the courage to express our personalities. While the negative side of this potentially negative planet is to suppress the joyous impulses of this self-important house, holding yourself back is not the point. The planet needs the power of the human heart, one person at a time, starting with you. Planning and building a framework for your creativity is a gift to all of us. Saturn provides the planning and training, 5th house the talent and stage on which to present it. This passage through 5th is a chance to face the excesses and insufficiencies of ego, to temper them with training and direct personal power with creativity, generosity and love.
And let me spoil the secret of Saturn in the 5th house right away. No one else's love is ever going to fulfill us like our own. No matter how respected we are, no matter how many people are into our creative thing, we will never find the inner satisfaction that we seek through what everyone else thinks about us. So if we're going to fulfill a creative goal, either do it to be of service, or do it for your own satisfaction (or both). If, deep down, we are hoping for other's love, admiration, or approval, the next couple of years may feel like a very long time. This is even more important if you were born with Saturn in Leo or in the 5th house.

The Fifth House: Do What You Wanna Do
The traditional name for the Fifth House is the House of Creativity, and so it is only natural that this house would also encompass children, risk-taking, and romance—all creative (and risky!) endeavors. It's also the house of investments, another risky area.
The natural house ruler here, of course, is Leo, and the associated planet is the Sun. People who wonder if they'll ever find the right creative outlet would do well to study their fifth house: it's possible the answer is right through Door No. 5.
Getting Creative.
Your fifth-house sign describes the nature of your creativity and self-expression, and its ruler indicates how and where you develop your abilities to express yourself. The house
where Leo, its corresponding natural sign, lies shows where your creativity and purpose are released and what area of your life will provide your creative potential.
Saturn in the Fifth House
Disciplined fifth-house Saturn needs to learn how to relax and have a good time, and for this serious, responsible planet, that's not always easy. Because of its seriousness, Saturn's fifth-house creativity is often channeled as Aspiring.
People with Saturn in the Fifth House also show structure and organization in art and music and an ability to be creative in politics and business management. They may work in a business associated with investments, speculation, education, places of entertainment, or the arts. It also can manifest as ambition for leadership or power in artistic areas. Usually, there are serious responsibilities concerning one's children—or the person may not be able to have children. These people are often romantically attracted to those who are older or more mature.
Re: Saturn in the 5th HouseWed, November 12, 2008 - 11:37 AMI have this one too
Saturn in 5th house
You perhaps feel unloved and unappreciated. Romances can turn cold. Love affairs are serious and you may feel emotionally and creatively inhibited. Because of your emotional restriction, you can appear to be cold, unloving, and unresponsive. This prevents you from being as popular as you would like to be. You have a desire for others to look up to you. It is difficult for you to relax. Personal interests and hobbies need to serve a practical purpose for you in order for you to enjoy them. Parenthood may be a burdensome responsibility and you may be too restrictive towards your kids. It is difficult for you to show your love and appreciation. You need to learn how to express your feelings towards those you love, and not just through the giving of presents and material things. It is important for you to forget yourself and to learn to project warmth to others.
Re: Saturn in the 5th HouseWed, November 12, 2008 - 2:07 PMF**kin' right!
I have this transit going on right now, thanks for the info b.t.w. God Star...
Re: Saturn in the 5th HouseThu, November 13, 2008 - 12:51 AM
That's one way of looking at it - I have this too, what might be another way, an Empowering way, or a positive interpretation to this?
Western Astrology....I mean what would be the point of Astrology if it was just the gloom and doom - shouldn't Astrology teach us how to navigate through life and with the Stars and houses?
just thinking this way will make it so
it's all in our heads, why not make the best of it ...
Why would Saturn feel unloved or turn cold in the house of Love and expression?
and why would love affairs and emotions feel creatively inhibited? I mean for the most part don't our emotions have to do with the Moon?
"emotional restriction"? How about Emotional Maturity? on and on ...
don't buy into this type of Astrology, it's Wickked
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn who is the Unicorn -which house do you have Capricorn in? Mine is the third house, then we would look for Saturn in our chart and mine being in the 5th house - my need for exchanging ideas, learning, communicating is in the house of love and romance ...I mean what could be better?
Mystical Unicorn
The unicorn is a symbol of purity, hope, love, and majesty.
'Well, now we have seen each other,' said the unicorn, 'if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?' --Lewis Carroll
Re: Saturn in the 5th HouseThu, November 13, 2008 - 2:25 AMI love that quote..
Re: Saturn in the 5th HouseThu, November 13, 2008 - 4:15 AMWell I read liz green book about saturn and she also said something about feeling unloved and being undemostrative, and that person with saturn in fifith house is hiding sensitivity under cold mask, and how saturn creates problem with self expression…
It is dangerous to believe in those texts couse that's when it becomes reall
I agree that our emotions are more influenced by the moon
Maybe showing affection is related to venus, and my venus is in virgo, so that's why I can somewhat relate with this saturn in fifith house description, not all, it is way to dramatized.
I read somewhere that saturn in fifth is good for business, gives good menagement skills, couse of its serious approach and also that saturn here can be very good for creative projects that take forever to do and require endless patience.
I also dont think that saturn in fifith house is necessary bad, it adds seriousness, so like you said it makes people emotionaly mature in some matters, more grounded, its deffinately not flaunty
Fifth house is a fun house and I feel like I have to deserve to have fun, if im at some party and I didn't finish my work, I don't feel good, and I cant relax, so I need to finish my work in order to have fun. But when I finish my work, I can party with no restrictions.
So saturn gives responsibility, that's good
anyway capricorn is in my eight house and also my ninth house starts in capricorn
Re: Saturn in the 5th HouseThu, July 8, 2010 - 6:25 PMI have Saturn in the 5th and I find it very hard to relax and express myself. At least in public view anyway. I find solace in literature and music. I'm slowly beginning to loosen up.. slowly.
Re: Saturn in the 5th HouseThu, July 15, 2010 - 1:26 PMI have Capricorn in the cusp, its ruler is saturn. This thread has been useful in a way. Saturn rules there.
I think I am a bit too structured at times. I quit learning a language because I thought I won't make use of it for business despite the fact I liked how it sounded. I like sports and competing with myself. Even things I do for fun has to have a purpose. I definitely feel Saturn there.
Re: Saturn in the 5th HouseThu, July 15, 2010 - 6:31 PM
You have to look at the WHOLE chart ...

Great deals on Wii U games, 3DS games, amiibo, and more.
The game should play much better now.

The Windows – Behind the Glass
Piobaireachd- Glengarry's March
Piobaireachd- The Battle of Waternish
Piobaireachd- The Sound of the Waves against the Castle of Duntroon
[A Pibroch or Piobaireachd also known as Ceol-Mor is a classical form of bagpipe music unique to Scotland.]
These special windows can be found above the main entrance to The National Piping Centre. This work was commissioned by The National Piping Centre to accentuate its commitment to the classical form of bagpipe music called Piobaireachd, pronounced Pibroch. It is based specifically on the oral form called Canntaireachd which was used before music was written down as a way of preserving and passing on both the melody and fingering of tunes. It is made up of vocables, which have no meaning as words but express the music when sung. There are standardised forms of Canntaireachd, one of which is used here but pipers often have their own system.
The purpose of these windows is to give an indication of the formal yet poetic nature of Piobaireachd and to illustrate the complexity and multi-layered quality of this music.
There are three windows describing three different Piobaireachds. The design for the windows are based on a proportional grid. Into this grid is written part of a Canntaireachd starting from the beginning. The use of the continuous base colour of blue from which the themes seem to materialise and then fade is reminiscent of the melody of the chanter arising from the background sound created by the drones.
The imagery used in the windows reflects the different types of Piobaireachd; the Salute, Lament and March. Also included are elements which are suggested by the titles of the music and elements which have a special resonance in Scottish history.
The stained glass windows were designed by John K Clark. More information and photographs of this project can be found on John's website at: www.glasspainter.com/piping

32P-labelling of DNA
For use in autoradiography, a radioactively-labelled dNTP molecule is synthesized with the first ("alpha") PO4 containing radioactive 32P rather than non-radioactive 33P. During synthesis of the new DNA strand, the outer two PO4 groups are cleaved off and the labelled PO4 is incorporated into the DNA backbone.

Garlic and Chive Hummus
Whole Paycheck, I mean Whole Foods is a glorious healthy-eating-gluten-free-PETA-loving-granola freak's paradise. Hey, I love me some hippies – don't get me wrong. And if I could afford to buy there on a regular basis I totally would, because the quality of food, especially their meat counter, is far superior to a regular everyday market.
A field-trip assignment from Ben's nutrition class took us there one afternoon where we picked up a small container of garlic and chive hummus that changed our lives. I've said it once and I'll say it again – Hummus is the new mayo.
Making it at home seemed daunting and simple all at the same time, but to accurately replicate something so great at home was terrifying. Me and sweets get along, me and earthy savory food – we're working on our relationship. Always stick with your right, when you go to your left expect varied results.
To make sure this got did right, I adventured to my favorite cooking website Tasty Kitchen to see what my fellow foodies had to say. One of my best blogging buddies and Comfortably Domestic Mama on the 45th Parallel, Kirsten had the recipe worth diving into, just adding in a couple of my own ingredients in the end. Bless you Kirsten, you calmed my fears.
4 Responses to "Garlic and Chive Hummus"
Mmmm sounds yummy!
I love hummus!!!! yours came out perfect! I will have to keep this recipe! I love your addition of the fresh chives and garlic! 🙂
Hummus is the new mayo – count me in! Love this – delicious 🙂
i love hummus. this sounds so yummy

CONCORD, N.C. — The first of two nights of Traxxas TORC Series racing is in the books at The Dirt Track at Charlotte as Ricky Johnson, C.J. Greaves, Andrew Caddell and Mitchell DeJong each took home wins after a night of tough off-road racing.
The biggest race of the night, the PRO 4 feature, was won by Johnson, of El Cajon, Calif. Johnson started in the fourth position, but quickly moved into third behind leader Scott Douglas and second place Adrian Cenni. The top three stayed together until a couple of quick moves by Johnson on lap 6 landed him in the top spot. Johnson took control of the rest of the race as many trucks had issues, including last year's event winner Johnny Greaves and the No. 11 of Cenni.
Douglas finished second and Mike Jenkins, the president of Traxxas, finished third.
"You know, I've got to thank my whole crew," said Johnson. "We had a good night, I'm gonna take it, we were able to get in front and move away. Scott is a hell of a competitor, he's getting his truck sorted out, Mike Jenkins is always right there so you can never count him out and then Johnny, he had a problem there at the end. I really want to congratulate tonight's winners."
CJ Greaves claimed the victory in his first career PRO 2 race. Greaves ran in the top three for most of the night, but it looked like the No. 1 car of Bryce Menzies would win the race until he spun in the second turn on lap 17. The incident allowed Greaves to take the lead and eventually win the race. The No. 4 of Jeff Kincaid finished second and Menzies fought back to finish third.
"I don't even know what to say," said Greaves, of Abrams, Wis. "My team put so much work into it. They built this truck new and we got to test it once and then brought it here. We had a lot of problems early in the week and they got it all figured out and here we are up top and I can't give enough thanks to them."
The victory made 16-year-old Greaves the youngest driver ever to win a PRO 2 race.
In the PRO Light class, Caddell, of Graham, Wash., started in the fifth position but quickly moved through the field to take the top spot on lap 4. As he pulled away from the field the battle began for the rest of the top five positions with drivers going three wide several times attempting to claim the runner-up position. Caddell cruised to the win as Brad Lovell and CJ Greaves finished second and third.
"I knew the team was going to bring me a great truck this year like they did all year last year and you know, it was just up to me out there," said Caddell. "They gave me the best equipment out there."
Fourteen-year-old DeJong, from Temecula, Calif., won the Super Buggy race in a commanding fashion, taking the lead on lap 4 and never looking back. Andy Zipperer finished second and John Frana followed behind in third.
"I'm so happy. It was a little rough out there, on the start," said DeJong. "I just took my time and made my way through and ended up on the podium."
DeJong is the youngest driver to ever race in the Super Buggy Class and this was his first start in a TORC Series Super Buggy race.BREAKING NEWS: SPEED SPORT is back in print with a new monthly format! Subscribe for just $24.95. Special offer for former subscribers.

Fremont's Proclamation " 'The Pathfinder' As Dictator" August 30, 1861
John C. Fremont, explorer of the West in the 1840s who became known as "The Pathfinder", was the first Republican candidate for president in 1856. In July 1861, Lincoln appointed him commander of the Western Department in hopes that his popularity would strengthen Union support in the Trans-Mississippi territories. This was an especially difficult command, because within its area lay volatile Missouri, a border state that was held in terror by secessionist guerillas.
In late August 1861, Fremont placed all of Missouri under martial law. He believed that slavery aided the guerillas and that a direct strike at that institution would crush them. On August 30, he issued his own "emancipation proclamation", declaring Missouri's slaves "forever free", without informing President Lincoln. This act, of course, far exceeded the authority of his position.
When he found out what Fremont had done, Lincoln asked him to modify his proclamation to conform to official policy, which under the Confiscation Act of 1861, freed only those slaves used by Confederates to aid the war effort and did not extend to general abolition. Fremont refused.
This placed the president, who later called Fremont's act "dictatorial", in a very difficult political position. He could not risk alienating the conservatives in this crucial border state; yet he did not to upset the Radical Republicans who were pressing for abolition. The president felt he needed to be cautious; at this stage of the war, Union victories were not numerous enough to justify bold political actions. Within weeks, Fremont was relieved of his command and his proclamation was revoked. Although this incident helped to sharpen the nation's focus on the need for abolition, Lincoln's slow-but-steady course was politically wiser.
Fascinating Fact: After her husband was relived of his command, his loyal and high-tempered wife, Jessie Benton Fremont, traveled to Washington to meet with Lincoln and plead her husband's case. Her stormy and antagonistic meeting with the president probably harmed her husband's cause.

TAZEWELL - A former U.S. Army corporal is behind bars for
possessing more than 7,000 images and 54 videos containing child pornography.
Gregory M. Willis, 26, entered a plea agreement in December
to one count of possession of child pornography in excess of five images and in
excess of five videos, according to officials with the Tazewell County Sheriff's
Detectives with the Sheriff's Office Internet Crimes Against
Children Task Force had identified a computer offering to participate in the "sharing"
of child porn, according to Sheriff's Office officials. The initial
investigation indicated that the I.P. address was in Bluefield, Virginia. The images
of child pornography were then downloaded in an undercover capacity, until Special
Agents of the Military Police could execute a search warrant and seize several
items used for storing digital media.
Willis had been serving at Fort Campbell, Kentucky,
according to officials with the Sheriff's Office. He was sentenced last month
to confinement in federal prison for two years, reduction from corporal to
private, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and a bad conduct discharge from
the military.

Subject: Re: Running Blender 3d in X2go
Newsgroups: gmane.linux.terminal-server.x2go.user

Hi, May I ask what's your particular use case for Blender3D via X2Go? I cant imagine working on 3D modelling via X2Go being a very productive solution. If your just using remote machine for render and not design... there is better ways to do that... from the command line. We got some code laying around somewhere, for blander render clusters... though its a bit old and I'm not sure if it works even with the current version of blender... Though if that's what you need shoot me a private e-mail and I'll see if we can help you out. -GZNGET On 03/27/2014 11:24 AM, Nigra Truo wrote: > Hi, > > Blender worked in X2go before.

Cash Money Crew: How To Prepare For Long-Term Care
By Bill Anderson, Matthew Long-Middleton & Sydney Llewellyn • Nov 18, 2013
Even if we try to deny it, we can't escape getting older. Almost three-fourths of people who reach the age of 65 are going to need some kind of long-term care. So why is it that so few of us plan for those needs?
On Monday's Central Standard, Bill Anderson and the Cash Money Crew talk about how to prepare finances for old age and the possibility of needing long-term care. Plus, they explore the poor health of the long-term care insurance industry.

Saying you've been able to release five stand-up records on Epitaph, persevere through member losses and new courses, become a punk rock staple in a decade of resilience only off a two month touring schedule; it's gotta be none other but Pulley. California-bred brilliance, their roots in punk rock bands and names are deeper than any pit and to see all the guys with Scott back from a full career in baseball; jumping straight to play stages is nothing but short of confounding. Most notably is Matters, out as of April 6th, we can finally now see Pulley touring again. A cold-front interview after their last date on the Frostbite Tour, I got a chance to meet up with Jim and Tyler at a party after. Presumably by now we're all tanked, don't be late for interviews.
Angie- Stoked to be sitting here & to have finally seen you guys live. There'??s been lots of years for Pulley, different careers, members, choices so forth- you guys are back and all still very undamaged with your 5th release.
Jim- Yeah it'??s called '??Matters'?? and it'??s going to be released April 6th. Epitaph I think they'??re releasing it worldwide on that day. I actually saw an ad for it in a magazine while we were driving the other day so that'??s pretty official I guess.
What divine intervention occurred from you that got Pulley behind mic stands?
Well of course the original band formed out of Scott getting kicked out of Ten Foot Pole because he wasn'??t able to tour year round that'??s how Pulley started. It started out as a part time thing so. I think that'??s why the bands had so many changes member wise. You lose one guy, you get another guy, you lose another guy, you get a new guy'?¶ We'??ve basically known each other for a really longtime, that'??s definitely what brought us together.
I was surprised to see on the new record didn'??t work with Ryan Greene but Matt Hyde, he'??s worked with everyone from Sum 41, No Doubt to even Slayer'?¶
That was done purely just for a change. We actually didn'??t even know who he had worked with we asked Brett first but Bad Religion was recording at the same time so of course he'??s in the band so that was understood. I guess Matt Hyde had not recorded but mixed 1208'??s new record, some other guy had recorded it but Matt Hyde came down and did the mix down. During that time Brett asked if he'??d be interested in working with us and so luckily for us it worked out well.
I could definitely hear a new input on this record, in the sound itself'?¶
It'??s sound is really huge there'??s two reasons why it sounds big is for one- Matt Hyde did work on it and he has a different approach to recording and to the final mix and process than Ryan does. And of course Ryan does an excellent job but they'??re two different artists, they'??re painting two different pictures of the same thing so you'??re going to get a difference. And the other reason is that Scott is not playing baseball anymore and he'??s able to instead of put in maybe a week or a month of recording vocals on an album he had the entire writing process which was probably a year and a half to two years to work with the band. Go through all the changes that the band went through, we we'??re actually able to compile everything together as opposed to'?¶ I believe the last album before I got in the band, was done completely and recorded without Scott'??s involvement'?¶ So basically Scott was able to work the whole time when we were working as far as writing goes so with that, you can hear it in the vocals, the vocals sound huge. When he went in to record, Matt is really big on vocals and I was really just amazed because their were songs that we didn'??t have vocals to when we went into the studio and I think they took about 3 weeks to get the vocals done. Just everything done, harmonies you know everything and when we got in there and I heard the final mix with vocals on it, there was about five songs I hadn'??t heard the vocals completely on and I was like- oh my god this is amazing. You know it'??s nice to hear something like'?¶ I didn'??t have a clue, Scott didn'??t have a clue, I didn'??t have a clue nobody had had a clue what he was going to sing on those songs when we were recording them. But Matt is the kind of guy who can go '??okay I see this happening'?¶ I see that happening what do you think?'?? he just works really well.
So you'??d say all the lyrics we'??re composed together collectively, no one particularly did lots of writing alone?
Mike wrote the lyrics to '??Insects Destroy'??'?¶ Scott actually wrote just to go on the flipside, he wrote a couple of the songs, the main bodies of the songs because we as the band have no received our promotional copies of the album yet, I can not remember the titles of those songs. To me when we were recording it was song number one, song number two or three then the titles came up when Scott was doing the vocals for them'?¶
Would you say this album has sped up?
On our new album it'??s sped up from the last album, for sure. There'??s more high- I don'??t want to say upbeat because that might be misleading but there'??s some high energy songs on there that are fast, well you know not super blazing speed metal fast but for punk rock it'??s fast and we'??re not slowing down basically.
Anything you think being on this record, distinguished it from the bands previous releases?
We all pretty much feel that this is the best but of course I can'??t really say it because it is the first album I recorded with the band but Mike and Tony and everyone else is just saying it'??s the best album the band has ever made, the best release. Anybody might say that for any new release they have of course nobody is going to say their new record is crap or they wished and expected more. You usually find that out when the next record comes out but it'??s pretty solid. It'??s a pretty solid album.
Are you releasing any videos with this?
We have two videos that we already did. '??Insects Destroy'?? and '??A Bad Reputation'??
Could you ever imagine Pulley releasing a record other than on its birth-home Epitaph?
You know that'??s really up to other labels and I think Epitaph has been really patient with us considering we were only able to tour two months out of the year. I think the reason why is because were a really easy band, we don'??t ask for a lot. We don'??t ask for money we don'??t ever ask for any kind of advances, we don'??t ask for anything. We go and record our record, we go in and get it done and we go tour it and push it. So Epitaph doesn'??t really lose any money with us, you know we could be one of those bands that goes in and says '??by the way we need a ten thousand dollar advances so we can do Warped Tour'?¶ we need a tour bus'?? or whatever you know blah, blah, blah. It'??s completely legitimate reasons for wanting this stuff but we'??ve always thought about paying the money back. Like everyone in the band is very frugal and I know personally I have no debt, well I mean I had debt and trust me I didn'??t like it. But everyone in the band is like that so it'??s like okay if we borrow money then we have to pay it back then it'??s going to be even longer before we see any compensation for the record sales and our record sales aren'??t big so it'??s not like we'??re going to get something huge.
Are you guys at all initially worked up before a release, how it will be received by fans and even so the press?
I think on this particular one because Ryan didn'??t work on it'?¶ But let me just sidetrack a little bit, the fact that we didn'??t work with Ryan was not personally against him, it was a decision with the band that we wanted the change. Doesn'??t mean that we don'??t like what he'??s done in the past and again I wasn'??t a part of those recordings with Ryan, I have never been to his studio. I have never been a part of that recording process but basically I just wanted to state that- I don'??t want any misconceptions about that. To get back to your question we were a little worried about what people would think, it wasn'??t so much worry but curiosity of what people would think when they saw Matt Hyde on there. People know who Matt Hyde is and who he'??s worked with and what he'??s done and it was a slight concern. But he took Pulley, retained the Pulley sound but put the Matt Hyde edge as opposed to the Ryan Greene edge. Both edges are great but we didn'??t know what to expect and now Chris Aiken, bass player for Strung Out very good friends with Tyler, they went to school together. Now Strung Out is working with Matt Hyde, they'??re working with him on pre-production. So the next Strung Out album, don'??t quote me, I am pretty sure will be produced by Matt Hyde.
New songs someone would be guaranteed to hear live off '??Matter'???
'??Stomach Aches'?? and the first song on our new set, first song off our album '??A Bad Reputation'??. We'??d like to do more but we held off on doing '??Insects Destroy'?? which it seems that songs is everyone'??s favorite off the album but we played it live before in the past and it'??s kind of one of those long songs that if you'??re not familiar with it- it can kind of be a ball and chain to the set. It really slowed things down but now and once people start learning it, it'??s a good sing along song it'??s got a lot of edge to it. It'??s one of those weird songs sort of like if you introduce it and no one knows what it is it'??s a really fucking long song. But if everyone knows what it is, because hearing it they look forward to it'?¶ it'??s just really powerful.
Tours? Warped Tour is one of them right'?¶?
Yeah we only got ten days I guess we need to prove ourselves now that Scott'??s not playing baseball anymore. That'??s my guess, that'??s my take on it you know see what these guys can do. I'??m not sure what stage we'??re doing'?¶ We'??re also going to be on the Destruction Tour.
So Scott'??s done with baseball, can we expect to see you guys touring full-time?
We can'??t tour full-time, we can'??t tour all the time because we'??re old guys. I am the oldest guy and I can'??t afford to take that much time off of work. Everyone works their own way to pay the bills because it'??s though to get the ball rolling again after so many years of only going two months out of the year. So we'??re going to do everything that was can with this new record, with promoting it and touring it but also we have to make sure that we don'??t overstep and you know get thrown out of our houses or apartments. I'??d love to do it year round but it'??s a huge commitment and you have to make sure that when you'??re going to go out you'??re going to get something in return financially. And I know it sounds horrible to say it and I'??m sure there'??s a bunch of kids who don'??t like to hear that but that'??s just the reality of it, you gotta pay the bills, you gotta pay the bills!
When you'??re on the road what'??s amiss?
I miss home but basically on the same token if you'??re on tour with a bunch of good people like on this '??Frostbite Tour'?? it'??s been not an entirely different experience but it'??s been a different experience to where nobody was an ass, nobody was a dick, nobody was arrogant, nobody was conceited. No one was pushing it you know, doing the prima-donna thing. But it'??s home I basically miss'?¶
The whole lingering issue of Ten Foot Pole, still get asked about it? Even tonight, big surprise to see Scott get on stage and perform '??Old Man'?? with Choke.
We don'??t get asked that much anymore in fact since I have been in the band I think I'??ve been asked maybe twice about '??why don'??t you guys do any Ten Foot Pole songs?'??. I think Ten Foot Pole'?¶ I'??m not sure but I'??ve heard I am not one hundred percent but I think Ten Foot Pole gets asked a lot why Scott left the band? And this is like ten years later. Apparently the word hasn'??t gotten out. It was Choke'??s idea and they did an amazing job'?¶
You mean you wouldn'??t normally see Scott perform that track- if it wasn'??t Choke'??s idea?
Totally yeah, I don'??t think Scott really wants to do Ten Foot Pole songs I think he'??s never voiced it. I mean he'??s never said we should do some Ten Foot Pole in our set. We could totally pull it off, I mean Tony'??s their drummer and to play the songs isn'??t hard to do, just have to learn them then play them but it'??s never been'?¶ This was just more of a favor Scott was just like '??yeah sure, I'??ll do it'?? because even I was thinking about it when I saw it three nights ago why aren'??t we doing Ten Foot Pole songs in our set? And I know that Scott just really doesn'??t want to do it. And the funny thing is, we'??re going to be going to play a show out in Belgium; Pulley, Ten Foot Pole and Strung Out, all going to be in the same place. It'??s going to be a seamy side High School reunion is what it'??s going to be.
Even Straight Faced must come up.
Well Jim Cherry is the connection there I am Jim Cherry'??s replacement so well yeah of course. It was only the first tour that I heard about it cause not everybody knew about it, not everybody knew that I was the guy. But once I was up there they didn'??t know why Jim Cherry wasn'??t in the band anymore. I replaced Jim Cherry before he passed away and he'??d gotten the whole Zero Down thing going and he'??d wanted to have his own band, he wanted to be the guy who could call shots and so they finally had a meeting and they parted ways and he was on his own. And I think that happened maybe March I think April 2001 and then August 2001 I was asked to be in the band after Pulley finished recording the album then I took his place. So when we'??d went on tour in September or October of that year with the Voo Doo Glow Skulls I got asked some questions. But you know for me it was just a matter of learning the parts and you know keeping it true to what he did. But at this point now though, I kind of wanna mix it up a little bit. As far as the Jim Cherry stuff goes people know, I don'??t really have to say so'?¶ when we play old material.
Do any of you have studios at home or are able to record on your own time?
We have a rehearsal studio in Chatsworth, CA and we can do it at the studio. Nowadays you can get equipment that works basically anywhere you can get high quality recordings. In fact we did a lot of demoing there, Matt Hyde even came to our studio which is basically a warehouse a kind of lock-out thing, it'??s basically our place we have our equipment set up there all the time. And he came in with his lap-top computer with Pro Tools built into it and basically recorded everything for the demo there. We recorded the drums in a real recording studio and then everything else actually in our studio and saved all kinds of money. I think that'??s why Epitaph likes us so much we think like it'??s our money not their money and when Matt was coming up with ideas to try and save money we were just throwing ideas at him '??hey let'??s just record it at our place, we don'??t need to go and find a place to go and record loud guitars!'??. When we recorded the album we didn'??t have that luxury but we still saved a lot of money.
On other schedules you guys all have families some married now, children was it ever considered to not release this record?
I'??m married, no children. Scott'??s married and he has kids, Tony'??s married, but no never, of course we always wanted to. There was no hesitation. I think if anyone would have had any reservations about it, it would have came-out way before. Being in a band is not a difficult thing, being in the band is not difficult. I think the most difficult thing is touring and that'??s just from being away. But as far as the writing process everything is close to home. Do you know what I mean where do you live, in the city, here?
Think of a place that'??s maybe twenty minutes away from your house, maybe a 30 minute drive. You got there everyone'??s there, everyone in the band is there you write songs. You'??ve got a contract with Epitaph to record another album and your job is to come up with material for a new record. There'??s no strain on the home-life with that the only strain if there is any, is going on tour, hoping to you maybe make money or break even whatever and being away from your loved ones.
Favorite stages to play, set up, grace?
Well after this Canadian tour, you know I can'??t even remember all of that stages that we played but all I know is after this- all of the cities have really been a warm welcome to what we thought was going to be '??oh cool, finally six years later you guys are back whatever'?¶'?? and it'??s not to say, we would totally understand. If the audience was like '??yeah cool thanks dicks, thanks for waiting so long to come back'?? but they were just like amazing. It'??s like god you know when a band takes that long to get back usually what happens when it'??s like three or four years later there'??s one original member in the band and he'??s just trying to keep the dream alive. It'??s all availability man, it'??s all about availability and we weren'??t available to do anything in Canada for a long time. The last time the band came up here I think Jim Cherry was still in the band. I have never been to Canada before obviously he was still in the band and I think Tony had just gotten in the band but I could be wrong, it gets a little fuzzy during that part of the history of the band. But as far as my favorite places to play, Brazil was insane, it was just'?¶ The people just love when people think about them we have a Rush DVD on a band? Of course you know who they are you'??re Canadian, it'??s so nice to talk to a Canadian about Rush, it'??s like I don'??t even need to'?¶ Anyways they basically felt the same way as we did when we watched their DVD they didn'??t know so far south there was such a following. It'??s a country that, it'??s such a massive huge place that it'??s a wonder that it'??s not I wouldn'??t say forgotten about but I'??d say over looked. Europe, Canada, United States, Japan, Australia those are the main places, those are the major markets for everybody right. But if you go down to South America people we'??re rabid for American bands or Canadian bands. I think were one of the first few bands, definitely not the first I can'??t remember the name of the band but I remember they also toured Brazil but the trouble with Brazil is its a little unpredictable. I think financially why bigger bands don'??t go down there. Like that was the number one question we got asked when we went down there '??why doesn'??t Pennywise come down here? Why doesn'??t this band ever come down'??'?¶ when I say Pennywise I'??m actually not even sure if they went down there or not but we got a lot of '??why don'??t any big bands ever come down or why if they do come down they do one show?'??. I don'??t know? I think a lot of these bands are used to making a certain guarantee and if they can'??t have that guarantee met, if they can'??t come home with money in their pocket and it'??s a completely legitimate reason it'??s a loss for them and it hurts. I'??m really bad at side tracking questions but as far as favorite places to play it'??s easier to ask me what places I don'??t like to play.
What places do you not like to play? (laughs)
I hate playing to a jaded audience I think that'??s what it is. I can remember my favorite places but the places that I really don'??t like to play is those really jaded audiences that get people all the time, get bands all the time. Who just stand there with their arms folded staring at you like you'??re a'?¶ I don'??t know, really why did you pay money to come here and see us? Unless you'??re a big band I mean I know that'??s what you'??re going to get cause they see bands all the time. It'??s over saturation is what it is, you got to a place like Brazil who never get anybody from the Western Civilization at all going down there. I swear to god when we came back everyone was like '??So! What was it like down there?'?? like we'??d went to another planet or something over there, like did you get robbed, well I mean financially. It is what it is, you go down there and you take your chances and there was some really sketchy shows we did, sketchy meaning like when you'??re done playing you'??re standing on stage with your guitar and I swear to you, a mass of people get up on stage and you'??re trying to turn around to face your equipment. They don'??t mean any harm to you'?¶ they want a piece of you. They want your hat, they want your pic they want something and it'??s not stealing because their thieves it'??s because- when am I ever going to see these guys again they want, like '??give me your recorder when we'??re done please, give me this piece of paper, that quarter please!'?? you know that'??s their mindset because they'??re starved. Then you go and play some places out in Europe that gets bands through there all the time you get this shit, just folding their arms. Of course it'??s not every city but there'??s some that are like that. Unless you'??re NOFX and I understand I'??m a huge fan of NOFX.
What seriously notable bands you'??ve had the chance to play with in Pulley you'??ll never forget?
NOFX, yeah we toured with them and No Use For Name in Europe and that was my first European tours with them. And that is still, it stays in my mind as one of the best times that I'??ve had playing music. We had some music festivals to play I think we had four or five of them to play in different countries in Europe and it was with NOFX. I saw NOFX back in the 80'??s and to see them rise to what they'??ve gotten to. I love their music I am a big fan of their music and to play with them. To be able to walk out on these giant festival stages and sit up on the side or sit right behind Eric and watch him play drums while the rest of the band goes and just go- this is fucking awesome, this is the best. I am touring with a band that I am a fan of. I am a fan of Pulley, I still am. I was a fan before I ever got into the band and to get into Pulley was a big deal for me when I get to play with them. No Use For A Name and NOFX I love both of those bands, I'??m a very musical person and I think both of those bands are incredible song writers, I think both of those bands Tony Sly, Fat Mike and whoever else is involved in that writing process they'??re geniuses, they'??re really strong.
On that note would they be among the band you'??d dream to play with one day?
Oh I'??d love to be in Me First & The Gimme Gimmes. I sit at home and play to their records strange or not. I would just love to be in any band I am a fan of. Just to be on stage and play new songs. Songs that I really, really like in fact I'??ve become'?¶ My new favorite band is the Mad Caddies right now and it was through the course of touring. And I hope they don'??t mind but you have to understand that when you'??re in a band, your focus is your band - well it'??s a give or take thing. But usually when you'??re in a band you pretty much focus on what the bands writing and what the bands doing. I had heard about the Mad Caddies but I had never seen them or heard them. Now I think this is the third or forth show we'??ve played on this tour with them. I'??ve watched them every night, their entire set just blown away, by their performance and their musicianship. And of course if they read this they'??re going to think it'??s a total ass kiss but it is! It is, I don'??t kiss ass that often and I think that they do an amazing job. So as far as playing in bands go, bands I'??m fans of.
10th year Frostbite Tour, what highlights have you encountered?
I would say the fact that, you know you go to a place like Whistler BC and snow is falling, you go here and snow is falling. You come from Southern California it'??s not a regular occurrence to see a winter situation. When I was eight years old I moved from New York and I remember when you'??re eight and you still have memories prior to that and every winter it would snow. And then I come here and it'??s like you'??re encapsulated. You'??re old enough to remember yet it'??s been so long when it happens'?¶ It kind of takes you back. It'??s like when you hear a song that you haven'??t heard since you were twelve years old and then you hear that song you remember everything that was going on exactly at that time in your life, when that song was happening for you. So, when I was going there and it was almost like going into a fourth-dimension almost a dream world. When we got into Whistler that was the first time it was really snowing, these huge flakes and we walked out into this little village area cause, we were going to go and find the club we were playing in because it was the day before. It was surreal.
That why they call it Frostbite I guess'?¶ Thanks for taking the time with this.
Actually just one last thing, you asked me what I missed when I'??m on tour. I miss my wife! And I totally forgot to say it and I wasn'??t thinking about'?¶ I was thinking about well I miss not showering everyday… But yes I miss my wife, that'??s it.
(Now here Tyler'??s round, parties gotten more free beer and their tour manager insisted on this one, so throw us a damn bone, we were without a doubt in a good state by then)
Tyler- Wasted interview take one!
Wasted interview take two!
Wow man that'??s some damn small hands you got, yeah I put my hands to use.
So new record '??Matters'?? what'??s your take on it?
I hate it, I mean it'??s awesome.
So what was it like for you working with Mister Slayer Matt Hyde?
Oh yes Mister Slayer, yes he'??s a good man what can I say about Matt Hyde. He brought us to the next level I would say. Our old producer awesome guy however Matt Hyde is sort of the all around musician, he was like the sixth member of our band. He told us like '??hey this song is good but you can make it way better by doing such and such'?? and bringing us to the next level I believe. Encouraged us to make our songs better than we ever could have thought we could make them. He never necessarily ever did write stuff for us he'??d just say '??this song is good you can make it better, fucking try'??. And I love Pete from Irish car Bomb as a heterosexual man I love him.
So who baptized you Mister Precision II?
A man in a club thought I was Dan from 88 Fingers Louie. He was wrong!!! I am not Dan! My name is Tyler I am from California! I am not from Chicago and not only am I not Dan from 88 Fingers Louie. I am not Chris Aiken from Strung Out and no I am not Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters, jesus christ next question!
Favorite songs on '??Matters'???
None of them, I mean I like all of them a lot. First song '??A Bad Reputation'?? I'??ll say fuck, I'??m sorry don'??t mean to curse. Wow my favorite songs? I am going to say songs one through to six are all fucking awesome and the rest I all really like too but the first six I am going to say are really my favorite, how about the album is my favorite.
You'??ve been with Pulley since'?¶
Since 97, I'??d say if I can even do the math about seven and a half years.
I asked Jim too would you ever see Pulley anywhere but on Epitaph, not a flicker of thought to jumping major wagons in your schedules.
Man, I want to make money I am not going to lie. We don'??t make money at all but we have a great time out with our friends, have awesome tours all the time. Epitaph'??s let us do that, at least they'??ve let us put records out and see the world. Major label would have totally dropped us by now if we would sell what we'??ve sold so I am totally happy with our label.
Do you wanna be out there touring on the road steady now that'??s Scott around 12 months of the year again?
Well we sorta have been lately and I think that'??s another reason why our new record is so strong because we have been together for the last year and a half, no breaks. We'??ve all written songs together and hung out together. It'??s only a positive thing being around each other all the time. And Scott around all the time, not only is he a good love, oh god I'??ll stop
Ten Foot Pole'?¶
People always ask all the time! '??Why did Scott quit Ten Foot Pole?'?? cause he was in baseball. '??So why did he quit so he could play baseball?'?? and I always think that'??s funny cause they kicked him out because he was playing baseball and didn'??t have the fulltime to do recording and touring. The funny thing is though since they kicked him out of the band we released five records and they released three. I don'??t know any of the people in Ten Foot Pole, I don'??t talk shit but I know people always ask us about that all the time. Tonight Scott played a song with Choke off of '??Rev'?? and it was fucking awesome.
When you were at home and not on the road with Pulley- what did you miss most?
Honestly we'??re really boring on the road. We play lots of Tiger Woods golf on Play Station 2 and almost everybody is married and we don'??t do crazy drugs or go to strip-clubs, we just kind of do nothing, very boring but I do miss that aspect of being bored. I miss being you know complacent and hanging out with my friends. Being on the road is awesome, I love it. We break even we'??re happy, people tend to think '??oh well you have five records on Epitaph so you must be rich'?? which is like completely far from the truth.
Last one, one band you'??d give that beer to play with?
Oh my god a lot of band, our band is huge fans of Classic Rock bands, that'??s all we listen to is like 70'??s rock bands. And the entire tour we'??ve been listening to '??The Styx Greatest Hits'?? which is quite embarrassing, back when we were in Edmonton and I bought The Styx DVD and the guy at the store laughed at me which I thought was funny. Like when we'??re practicing, when we'??re not doing Pulley songs we'??re playing '??Rush'?? and '??Led Zepplin'?? shit like that '??The Who'??. I don'??t really get star struck on a band so there'??s not really anyone I'??d really die to be on stage with but I guess I'??d love to jam with a band I grew up with, Maiden or fucking AC/DC, Def Leppard or Lynyrd Skynyrd'?¶
I knew you'??d have some interesting ones (laughs) thanks man! Get back in there and never cut your hair'?¶

Acer S3 Ultrabook Review: it impresses on almost every level
We have heard a massive amount of hype about Ultrabooks, ever since we attended ASUS' launch at Computex this year. But Acer has the distinction of being the first company to actually put a production model of its S3 Ultrabook in our hands, and what a beauty it is.
Weighing only 1.37kg and measuring a mere 17mm at its thickest point, Acer has chosen to go with a magnesium alloy-based chassis. It isn't a unibody design, but that doesn't detract from the slightly curved lines of the underside of the chassis. In order to build it this way, Acer laptop batteries has put most of the ports on the back of the S3, under the hinge.
As this is the thickest point of the chassis, it means that it is the best place to fit things like HDMI and USB. All that remains on the side is a headphone jack on the left and SD card reader on the right. On the rear are two USB 2 ports and the aforementioned full size HDMI port. There is no Ethernet, rather communication is via both WiFi and Bluetooth.
While we can excuse having a low number of ports, the one massive source of disappointment with the S3 is the lack of USB 3. Despite what you may read elsewhere, USB 3 has been shipping on virtually all laptops and desktops for a year now, and both the Asus laptop batteries and Toshiba Ultrabook engineering samples that we have seen have a single port. We guess that the reason behind this is that Intel doesn't have native chipset support, and Acer doesn't have space on its motherboard for a USB 3 controller, but this really does work against the S3. This will likely change when Intel's introduces its next generation Ivy Bridge processors next year, but given the restricted inbuilt storage not having USB 3 is a major minus for us.
When Intel launched its second generation Core I processors earlier this year, it was clear that they were built from the ground up to be excellent mobile processors. Not only are they designed around quickly jumping in and out of low power states, the graphical capabilities had been improved to the point where they could be considered good enough to use without strapping a discreet graphics chip on.
It is this core design philosophy that has enabled to creation of the Ultrabook. This new category of laptop (which Intel has trademarked) is not only designed to take on Apple's Macbook Air, but to do so at price points that are also competitive. If manufacturers can't offer a model at less than $US999 they can't use the Ultrabook naming.
There are various other restrictions on what Ultrabooks can and can't be, much like netbooks manufacturers need to comply with these to get the supplies they need from Intel. Unlike netbooks though, the hardware inside the Ultrabooks is very similar to that seen inside every other Core I laptop on the market.
We say similar, because Intel has come up with special versions of its Core i3, i5 and i7 processors designed for the power and thermal requirements of small chassis laptops. Acer has versions of the S3 Ultrabook with each of these processors, but the one we have been testing uses the Core i5-2467M. This comes alongside a respectable 4GB of DDR3 and a 320GB HDD. While the hard drive seems a touch small, it is largely limited by the miniscule space inside the S3 chassis.
The processor will have the most influence over how the S3 performs in our benchmarks, although the shift to SSD will make for a generally more responsive (and expensive) machine. In order to see just how the sleek styling of the S3 matches up to real laptops, we have compared the results of our real world tests with those seen in our Sandy Bridge laptop roundup a few months ago.
But that's a trade off that doesn't seem too bad, considering that our actual experience with the S3 has been smooth. You wouldn't want to treat it like it had the grunt of a high end desktop, but the S3 delivers a perfectly competitive mobile computing experience.
Out of curiosity we ran up our Crysis benchmark on the S3, not expecting too much. It ran surprisingly smoothly at low detail, delivering 24 frames per second. Anything higher was unplayable, but this reinforced that the processor graphics in the Core i5 are going to be capable of light gaming.
With the S3 ticking all the performance boxes we moved on to tests designed to see how well it performs day to day. The first was our notebook battery life benchmarks, run with both heavy and light workloads.
In the light use tests, which focus on constant web browsing until the Acer as07b31 laptop battery runs down, we saw the S3 last for five hours and twenty five minutes, which would be impressive in a larger laptop (and actually better than most of the ones in our recent grouptest).
Even under heavy use, which involves a near unnatural workload of Cinebench loading down all of the processing cores, it lasted for two hours.
Our last test was one we like to run on thin laptops, seeing how well the chassis copes with heat. We rerun Cinebench until the CPU temperature evens out, and see just what that point is. On the S3 we were unable to push CPU temp above 70 degrees – this seems high, but is significantly lower than what we have seen coming from Macbooks, for example, where we have seen temps top out around 100 degrees.
The s3 does get warm to the touch in the rear left hand corner, under where the processor is. But it is quite bearable. Because Acer has placed the ventilation along the rear hinge, it does get a little warm behind the unit as well, but not to any uncomfortable degree.
Acer has made a truly wonderful piece of hardware with the S3, one that would be catapulted to the top of the A-List if not for one thing: the lack of USB 3. While you can make do without it, it really is the most useful new addition to the PC in years. When using a laptop with such small inbuilt storage you'll eventually need to put your data on some sort of external device, and USB 3 just makes the experience exponentially better.
Sure, you could head straight for the cloud, but the simple fact is that the Ultrabook market is going to be tight and incredibly price competitive. Competing models have single USB 3 ports, and that makes the omission significant.
If you get past the USB 3 though, this is as astonishing product – both proof positive of the Ultrabook concept and a lovely piece of design in its own right. What this Core i5 and hard drive based model shows is that the concept works at the low end as well, and while an SSD is certainly desirable it isn't necessary for the experience.

Gwyneth Paltrow Says Humiliating Butt-Baring Dress Had Everyone 'Scrambling For A Razor'
Gwyneth Paltrow was left blushing after bearing some serious skin in a green and white dress at Wednesday night's Iron Man 3 premiere.
The actress, who was just named People magazine's "Most Beautiful Woman In The World," joined talk show host Ellen DeGeneres for a chat on Thursday and revealed that her fashion choice for the evening turned into a "disaster."
The Antonio Berardi gown, which featured sheer, see-through panels down the sides, was meant to be worn sans underwear, and the star revealed that she had some grooming issues she had to quickly deal with before donning the dress.
The 40-year-old told Ellen, "Oh, I kind of had a disaster. I was doing a show and I changed there and I went and I couldn't wear underwear -- I don't think I can tell this story on TV...
"Well, let's just say everyone went scrambling for a razor. So I went from being the most beautiful to the most humiliated in one day."
Ellen giggled through her reply, saying, "I really have some questions now! You certainly don't take care of yourself... It was just the side of your leg. What is going on!?"
"I work a 70s vibe. You know what I mean?" Gwyneth replied.
"Oh, got it!" Ellen said.
Ellen also had a surprise for Gwyneth, bringing out a trio of strippers to celebrate her People magazine "Most Beautiful" title.
